Excerpt from The Place of the Rural Economy in an University Curriculum: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered at the Schools on February 1, 1907

IT is a time-honoured custom in this, as in other Universities, for the new occupant of a Chair to be privileged to address those interested in his department on some phase of the subject that has been entrusted to his direction. Naturally he regards the occasion as furnishing a favourable opportunity for reviewing the past, discussing the present, or forecasting the future; and,' guided by the particular circumstances of the case, he attempts to interest his audience in the life and work of the founder, in the historical developments of his subject, or in his own aspirations as to the growth and progress of his department. My own inclinations lead me towards an attempt to outline possible developments in Rural Economy as a subject of instruction and re search within this University; but before doing so it may be well to look backwards and see what has already been done, and outwards, and see what others are doing.
