cience IN THE class of colleges to which this institution belongs the classical studies of the older type of college are replaced by work in the sciences and in vocational subjects. A sound basis for technical training includes thorough training in mathematics, physical science, and biological science. It is believed also that education should include some preparation for the discharge of one ' s duties to the state and to the community in which he lives. It should afiford him that dis- cipline and culture which alone can give him a grasp of the relations among persons and activities, peoples and events, with breadth of view and tolerance of attitude, and hence an influence over his associates and fellow-citizens of every station of life. It is the province of the departments grouped in the division of General Science to give this basic, scientific, cultural and disciplinary training. Their work is not only foundational, but it penetrates through all of the characteristic vocational curricula of the institution, as the struc- cural steel of the modern skyscraper penetrates the entire building and forms a secure framework and support for the more readily visible, and evidently important parts. These departments thus give unity to all of the four-year curricula. In addition they give most of the required subjects in the curricula in General Science, In- dustrial Journalism, Industrial Chemistry, Rural Commerce and Music. These curricula carry opportunities for election of many courses which give great flexibilit} ' to them, and make it pos- sible for students to obtain many modifications that may meet individual needs. The departments organized in this division are Bacteriology, Botany and Plant Pathology-, Chemistry, Economics and Sociology, Education, English, Entomology, History and Ci ics, Library, Mathematics, Military Science, Modern Languages, Music, Physical Education. Physics, Public Speaking, and Zoology. Two-thirds of the instructional work of the college is done by these departmen(s, and a large fraction of the research.

The Ideals and Aims of K, S, A. C, ONIC iniporlanl ideal of llir Kansas St.ile A-iiriill iiral ( ' ()llij;c is liial t- i Ty person who comes under its inlliieiu-e shall th i(li he helped to serve his country, his neighbors, and himself through well-informed action. I he spirit which dominates the college is based upon a firm belief in the diijnit - of honest, inlelli.uent work. This s|)irit emanates from the best elc- nienis of American citizenshi]) and is in accord with the best American traditions. To help its students to become practical is one of the i)rinci[3al aims of the college. It is not worth while to be practical unless one has high ideals. But it is futile to have high ideals without .some practicality through which to apply them. The college recognizes that we live in a work-a-day world, in which mere dreaming, unrelated to action, accomplishes little. The student body at K. S. A. C. is justly famed for its democratic spirit. No person of high character, intelligence, and industrious habits needs to hestitate to join the student body because he lacks wealth or social position. A large proportion of the students pay their own college ex- penses. There are numerous high-class fraternities and sororities, but membership in them, howev-er desirable, is neither a social nor an academic necessity. The Varsity football team has elected a non-fraternity man to the position of captain for the 1925 season. This action indicates something of the wholesome spirit prevailing among the students. The student body respects industry, ability, and sincerity. These qualities are more iiighly esteemed by students and faculty than are such superficial things as wealth and cleverness. The college encourages many wholesome activities in addition to those provided in the cur- ricula, because it believes in well-balanced development of young men and young women. It is proud of the records of its students in football and other athletic sports, in debating, dramatics music, oratory, and other e.xtra-curricular activities. It believes that a prospective engineer, farmer, or scientist can profit by a knowledge of these activities and by participation in them; and that a prospective home-maker may secure benefits by taking an active and intelligent in- terest in the arts. It emphasizes the importance of good living and of good citizenship as well as that of earning a livelihood. A great majority of the thousands of men and women who have attended K. S. A. C. at some time during the past sixty years are honoring their Alma Mater by exemplifying these ideals and aims. These excellent men and women, living in widely distributed parts of the world, are lead- ing prosperous and useful lives. They have fi.xed a high standard of good service and good citizen- shi|) toward which the yoimger generation of students may well stri e. The college is proud of tliem. President of K. S. A. C.
