Excerpt from Seventeenth Biennial Report of the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts: Including Report of Experiment Station, Made to the Governor of the State for the Years 1896 and 1897 As one of the three educational institutions of Iowa, we believe it would be for the advantage of our educational system, as a state, to have the governor and superintendent of public instruction members ex-omeio of the board of trustees in this college.
