Hitchcock says that after observing such schools in Europe, he believes agricultural schools will be a good step for the state, and lays out what such a school should include. He discusses the specific subjects he believes should be taught, what supplies these schools should have, the number of instructors, and how much tuition should be charged, among other things. Edward Hitchcock letter to an unidentified recipient, 1850 September 21 Edward Hitchcock lecture notes on agricultural colleges Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Notes by Edward Hitchcock apparently intended for a speech to an agricultural society (possibly the Norfolk Agricultural Society) about the importance of agricultural schools in Massachusetts. Hitchcock notes that the state has agreed to support such schools but is waiting for the citizens to ask for them. He emphasizes that the society should take the lead on this, and compares the state of agricultural studies in Europe to Massachusetts.
