Collegcj DEDADTMENT DF AGIQICULTIJIQE HE Agriculture Department was first recognized as a separate and distinct department of the college in 1918. Since that time the department has attempted to serve the student body in three Eelds of endeavor. First, to prepare the students in a professional way to teach agriculture in high school and the rural schools of Missouri. Second, to offer training through either one or two years as the student desires, in vocational agriculture. Third, to offer courses that will assist the student who wishes later to live on the farm and who wishes to farm more efficiently. Since 1926, all work done in the Agriculture Department has been fully recognized by the College of Agriculture, University of Missouri. The completion of the new Science Building has made possible Hrstfclass equipment and much higher grade of work is being offered than has ever been possible before. The Department of Agriculture sponsors the Farmers' Week in the fall. Various lectures and demonstrations are given to increase the productiveness of the surrounding country. The local Chamber of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture of Missouri University assist in the work. One event of interest that is long remembered by the students during the summer terms is the poultry fry. All the members of the poultry classes go to some park and a wonderful out' offdoors dinner is served. The department is fast becoming one of the most popular in the school. l 25 l

DEBORAH WEISEL MAYME C. HAMILTON Head of Art Department Art B.S. in Ed. CColumbia Univj B.S. in Ed. fSpring6eldJ M.A. fColumbia Univj A.M. fUniv. of Missourij Diploma from the Penn. Museum School of Industrial Arts Graduate Student of Penn. Academy of Fine Arts TH If ADT DEDAIQTMENT HE American people as a nation have the reputation of standing closely by their ideals and of deciding every great public question upon the idealistic side. More and more in this idealism is the love of beauty growing prominent, and more and more does the demand for a knowlf edge of beauty and for an opportunity to create beautiful things urge schools and colleges to demon' strate that beauty is available to every individual. The Art Department of the College endeavors to show that beauty is democratic. It is not the plaything of opulence. It is not founded upon price. It is founded upon the good taste which comes from a knowledge of what art is and an application of the principles of art. A roughly cut sapling from the woods might be more beau' tiful for a pergola or a garden seat than a piece of highly finished lumber from a mill. A loosely woven burlap might be more beautiful for a given purpose than an expensive bit of silk. It is the effort of the Art Department to develop a feeling of beauty in its students by study of works of art of all sorts and by experience in creative expression in various helds of art which can be adapted to their work as teachers. To further this study of art, to develop discrimination, and to show technique, the Art Department has brought recently several exhibitions to the college. Probably the most outstandf ing one was the collection of Spanish paintings which came directly to us from Barcelona last October. The Art Department is a chapter of the American Federation of Art and so keeps in touch with national art activities. By invitation from the College Art Association of America and from the New York Art Center two exhibitions of block prints and design were held in New York this year. The Department cofoperates with the Ozarko staff in producing the Art pages of the College Annual, as it does with the staff of the Greenwood High School Annual, Under the Greenwood Tree. fill
