Five Acres Senator Dawes Proposes Massachusetts Proviso
Senator Dawes urged adding a proviso to the agricultural experiment stations bill to allow Massachusetts to combine its agricultural college and a separate experimental station. He argued the two entities could share benefits and avoid crippling duplication, with the state choosing whether to consolidate at the college or the station. He anticipated the proviso would be adopted with little opposition.
