More Quotes from Liberty Bailey:
Even though the college man raises no more wheat than his neighbor, he will have more satisfaction raising it. He will know why he turns the clod he will challenge the worm that burrows in the furrow his eyes will follow the field mouse that scuds under the grass he will see the wild fowl winging its way across the heaven. All these things will add to the meaning of life and they are his.Liberty Bailey

This College of Agriculture was not established to serve or to magnify Cornell University. It belongs to the people of the State. The farmers of the State have secured it. Their influence has placed it here. They will keep it close to the ground. If there is any man standing on the land, unattached, uncontrolled, who feels that he has a disadvantages and a problem, this College of Agriculture stands for that man.
