Many days of frenzied activity culminate in the livestock- shows, which arc of special interest not only to the agricul- ture students, but also to 4-H clubbers and breeders through- out the state. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE In sewing class, this co-ed learns an art that will be used over and over again now and in later life. Home of the rodeos here at L.S.U., basketball games, the scene of gradua- tion, and the symbol of the College of Agriculture, the coliseum is known to all students here on the campus. The College of Agriculture is one of the major units of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Me- chanical College, the institution designated by th; l;gisla- ture as the land-grant college of the State of Louisiana. From the practice house to the stock barns, it is th; coor- dination and cooperation among the three major divisions of service research, resident instruction, and agriculture extension that give this college its character and force in making its contributions toward the betterment of Louisiana agriculture. 98

i A music student ' s day consists of classes, voice lessons, piano lessons, chorus, and band practice. At night the stu- dent practices all that he has learned during the many long hours. His second home has become the Music and Dra- matic Arts Building. For his long and hard work, the music student is rewarded by his mastery of an art he has learned to appreciate a cultural heritage which has been handed down to us in the form of great music. Practicing for long hours every day helps the music major to de- veloping techniques which she will put to use at the end of the semester when she gives a recital. SCHOOL OF MUSIC Constant practice on the stadium field, in the music auditorium, and in the private practice rooms results in the form of the fine music of the L5.U. Tiger Band. Dallas Draper drills two of the sections of the University Chorus. The chorus is pre- paring for a program which will be given in the spring.

While working in the Louisiana State University Museum, these students learn to stuff the animals whi ch are used for display, make the background for the display, and make such intricate things as the leaves which appear on a tree in a certain setting. Silence reigns until the bell rings for classes to end. Allen Hall then becomes a clamoring, mass confusion of students hurrying to their next class. The College of Arts and Sciences presents the student with a liberal education, which by its very nature is broad rather than narrow, and devoted to intellectual development and discipline rather than an acquisition of technical skills. From the clamor in the halls of Allen Hall to the quietness of a final exam, die student is working toward the end of familiarity with historical and political studies, the sciences, and die arts. I ! t COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Most students who fre- quently go into Allen Hall will recognize man and various aspects of his life which decorates the wall. ' ..:
