Its instruction is practical and its graduates are successful workers in the line of their education. The college is also doing a great work in educating men from the ages of 25 to 60 years who have been engaged in practical business and who now seek for further education, as an aid to their material advance- ment. The Michigan college of mines stands as one of the largest and fore- most schools of mining engineering in the country, and the only one which has a full and free elective system. The college is located at Houghton, Houghton county, in one of the richest mining districts in the world, and one having several of the largest and richest mines, deepest shafts and most powerful mining machinery known. Millions of dollars cannot give students elsewhere the advantage of learning mining that they enjoy freely here through the liberality of the mining companies.
