Biennial report of the Board of Trustees of The North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race

Biennial Report for 1905 that emphasizes the college's sound financial shape, credited to the self-sustaining nature of the curriculum, which produced food and materials for the college and the community, saved money on student board and created revenue to meet other needs. Primary concerns were hopes for a new dormitory that would allow increased enrollment to meet the growing demand, and the school's lack of a proper isolated infirmary for outbreaks of contagious diseases. The report includes updates from each of the departments, specifically, the Mechanical Department, Department of Industries, English Department, and the Department of Agriculture and Chemistry. Other sections include reports on attendance, finances, and alternative education opportunities (night school and summer school). An appendix details salary information for professors and staff.
