great importance in the work of the Library and the Departments of English, Modern Languages, Music, and Public Speaking. Training in these subjects creates an edu- cational balance with the technical work offered in the natural and social sciences. Publicity for the college as well as pro- fessional training is offered by the Depart- ment of Industrial Journalism, in which practical work has been offered continu- ously since 1873- The ever increasing number of Kansas State graduates who enter the profession of teaching are prepared for this very impor- tant work by courses in the Department of Education, where one may also obtain necessary courses in the field of Psychology. The physical development of the Kansas State College student body is the chief con- cern of the Departments of Military Science and Physical Education. Among the activi- ties of the latter department are the inter- collegiate athletic contests, which have brought credit to Kansas State College for clean, wholesome sportsmanship. The activities of these departments ex- tend to every division of the college. Every student is enrolled in many of these classes during his college life. For those who are technically enrolled in the Division of Gen- eral Science nine curricula have been formu- lated, all but one being professional in char- acter. Opportunities are offered for technical study in Industrial Journalism, Industrial Chemistry, Music, Physical Education, and Commerce, which prepare graduates for re- sponsible positions in the several vocations. The curriculum in General Science offers fundamental college training in all general subjects, with opportunities for special work in several, and is an excellent preparation for the student who wishes to pursue grad- uate work after finishing college. The Division of General Science has three primary interests. Teaching, by virtue of the nature of the work of the departments, is the most important. Two-thirds of the class hours of the student body are spent in this division, and its staff numbers 54 per cent of the resident college faculty. Along with teaching, a second necessary activity is investigation, to be informed of the recent advances in a continually changing technical world. The third interest is public service to the campus, to the local community, and to the entire state. These three objectives com- bine to form a balanced program of activity which is basic in the interests of Kansas State College. Tod row: Jefferson, Martin, Conover. W. T.

DIVISION OF GENERAL SCIENCE DEAN R. W. BABCOCK ' T HE Division of General Science is the - ' - oldest division of Kansas State College. Its courses supply the fundamental scientific and cultural work of the institution. The Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry offer ample opportunities in physical science both for the undergraduate and the graduate student. Severe losses, from which recovery has not yet been accom- plished, were sustained by the destruction of Denison Hall on August 3, 1934. The De- partments of Physics and Chemistry are now conducting their work in severely cramped quarters and with greatly depleted equip- ment. Biological sciences are represented by the Departments of Bacteriology, Botany and Plant Pathology, Entomology, and Zoology. Ample opportunities are available for thorough training in each specialized field. A special interest of the Departments of Entomology and Zoology and the related work in Geology is the care of the College Museum, which is being improved each year and is rapidly growing in the interest of the student body and visitors to the campus. The social sciences are represented by the Departments of Economics and Sociology, and History and Government. The tre- mendous changes now being made in business and governmental administration must be of vital concern to students who must take their places in the world of today or tomorrow. The land grant school must fulfill its obligation to promote the liberar ' as well as the practical education of those who come to its campus.

DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE DEAN L. E. CALL THE curricula of the Division of Agricul- ture provides training for those who wish to devote their lives to agriculture, the largest and most essential industry in Kansas. The division is well prepared to provide such training. It is manned by a large staff of high-class, well-trained teachers who are specialists in their respective fields of work. It is equipped with adequate labora- tory facilities, extensive greenhouses, large numbers of high-class animals of all impor- tant breeds and numerous experimental fields and plots that make it one of the best equipped agricultural educational organiza- tions in the world. The four-year curriculum in agriculture is designed primarily to meet the demand for training of the student who expects to re- turn to the farm, where he will not only need the knowledge of the sciences underlying production practices, but also training in the business aspects of his profession of the inter-relationship that exists between farm- ers and other groups of society. The student who graduates in the Division of Agriculture will have had the basic training necessary for many lines of specialized agricultural work. Training is offered by the division in five curricula: agriculture, agricultural adminis- tration, landscape gardening, milling in- dustry, and the combined six-year curriculum in agriculture and veterinary medicine. These curricula offer opportunity for the election of a wide choice of subject matter and provide adequate training for more than 100 useful and interesting occupations.
