MG A Message From the President Iowa State College has been and should continue to be one of the great technical colleges of the country, and of the world. No in itution has followed a more consistent policy of growth and development along a few technical lines and we can antici- pate steady progress in the future. The policy of the administration has been to limit our fields with the purpose of doing outstanding work in those which we occupy. It has also endeavored to develop teaching, research, and sei vice to the people of the state off the campus. Every ef- fort is being made to strengthen our undergraduate and graduate teaching, and to bring to the faculty able teachers. The research work in all fields has grown notable in scope and distinction. Extension work, short courses, and other service work to the people of Iowa are constantly being modified and extended with the purpose of keeping the public informed of the latest ad- vances in the various lines of research and investigation. Iowa State College, Iowa State Univei ' sity, and Iowa State Teachers ' College, together, constitute the University of Iowa under the direction of the State Board of Education. We en- deavor here to carry to the highest development the technical lines entrusted to Iowa State College. R. M. Hughes. i I. i iB- Twenty-six
