Germans Of High Degree

Constitute a Big Delegation of Land Owners

Who Visit Ann Arbor

They Represented the Agricultural Society of the German Empire

Ann Arbor was visited Saturday by a delegation of managers of large German estates, who have been sent over to this country to study American agricultural methods. They have been making a trip through the country and are now returning from California. The original delegation numbered 125, but enough of them have dropped off on side trips to reduce their numbers to 41, who visited the city.

They were all men of college education. In the number were two or three barons. They were representatives of the National Agricultural Society of Germany, and with the Emperor's advise and consent they were picking up ideas for use in agriculture in Germany if they could find them.

The delegation, owing to lateness of the train on which they arrived only had 50 minutes in Ann Arbor. They were taken directly to the campus by three street cars, rushed through the law building, through the main building, over the new medical building, through the library and museum and back to the cars.

At the campus was Dr. Angell to meet them, flanked by a number of professors and instructors who could talk German.

The visitors were good sized men, apparently strong men in their communities. The one thing which was possibly the most striking was their extreme politeness.

For eight weeks they have been touring the land and their journey is now nearly over. Part of the delegation sail on from New York on the 28th.
