IM division of Veterinary Medicine npHE Division of X ' eterinary Medicine offers a four-year curriculum leading to the degree Doctor of N ' eterinarv Medicine. Holders of this de- gree are recognized by all state and federal veterinary examining hoards. Graduates are also elegible to membership in all state, sectional and national veterinary associations. The Kansas State Agricultural College also offers two six-year combination courses. The first of these is a combined curriculum in animal hus- bandry and veterinary medicine, leading at the end of four years to the degree Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and in two additional years to the degree Doctor of ' eterinary Medicine. The second six-year curriculum leads at the end of four years to the degree Bachelor of Science, and in two additional years to the degree Doctor of ' eterinary Medicine. The first of these six-year curricula is popular with those young men that are planning to engage in live stock work and that at the same time want professional courses in the prevention and cure of diseases of animals. The second is intended primarily for those desiring more extensive training in the fundamental scientific courses, especially in lines relating to animal diseases. The live stock industry of the country is constantly growing. This creates a demand for veterin- arians and because of the limited number of students in veterinary medicine in the veterinary schools of America, the Division of ' eterinary Medicine in the Kansas State Agricultural College has been unable to supply the demand for its graduates. The Division of ' eterinary Medicine is housed in two commodious buildings erected at a cost of approximately one-quarter of a million dollars. These buildings have class rooms, laboratories, hospital wards, opera ting rooms, and in fact every thing essential toastrictly first-class veterinary college. R. R. Dyk$tr. Pugf 2 5

Margaret Justin Dean Tlie Division of Home Economics TLJOME Economics as administered at the Kan- sas State Agricultural College is part of a great national moxcment. This sharing of a com- mon purpose is felt peculiarly this year since Dean Margaret Justm is president of the American Home Economics Association including some nire thousand memhers throughout the United States. Home Economics is vital to men and women alike and matters of the home should concern both in the midst of the changing conditions of the present dav. The ideal of education as it is felt by the teach- ing staff at this college is not limited to knowledge of the subjects taught in the Home Economics curriculum or related curricula but that upon this rock each girl may better meet every relationship, every problem, every situation in life. The specific training received is valuable but it is multiplied many fold if the girl who acquires it is thoroughly poised and balanced, fitted indeed for the business of living. Year by year brings progress within the Division of Home Economics, changes in the working plant, in arrangement of courses, in teaching staff, whatever w ' ill best serve the interests of the students who seek this training and who in turn will serve the state or a wider field. Calvin Hall, Thompson Hall, Van Zile Hall, Ellen Richards Lodge already established were augmented this year by the Ula Dow Cottage, a new practice house. The nursery school occupies enlarged quarters and most of the students of the Division have contact with this vital training. A list of the departments within the Division will indicate the breadth of training received by the students : Food Economics and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Applied Art, Household Economics, Institutional Economics and Child Welfare Euthenics.

H. Umberger Dean L ' The Division of Extension AST year, more than eight hundred communities were recognized as de- hnite units co-operating with the Exten- sion Service of the Kansas State Agricul- tural College. The total number of indi- viduals, including those in these commu- nities and those who are not so organized but who were dehnitely associated in some project in co-operation with this institu- tion, numbered not less than thirty thous- and Kansas People. The purpose of these individuals and of their community organizations is to provide intelligent procedure whereby s ome desirable objective may be obtained through the acquisition and transmission of information. Such objectives may be economic or social. They may not only desire to know more profitable business methods but how to attain higher standards of living and thought for themselves and for others. The responsibility of the agricultural college in directing this expression of the people living beyond the campus is particularly delegated to the Extension Service, but it is the same responsibility which the agricultural college assumes to the resident student who pursues a course of study on the campus. It is proper that the influence of the institution through the Extension Service may be reasonably expected to be supplemental through the active effort of those of its graduates who go back to the farms and the homes with the higher ideals which have been created in them as a result of their residence at the Kansas State Agricu ltural College.
