DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT The curriculum in Industrial Management is designed to prepare students for executive and administrative positions in industry and engineering. The student majorina in Industrial Management receives training from three sources : 1. The School of C.eneral Science furnishes the liasic, general, and cultural training. 2. The School of Engineering provides the technical mstnction in civil, textile, electrical, and mechanical engineering. 3. The Department of Industrial Managemetit gives the training in the management and administration of industrial projects. The student, therefore, hecomes not only a well-rounded technical expert, hut also has the qualifications for administering tlie husiness side of the industrial or engineering enterprise. DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Department of I ' .usiness . dnnnistration of State College was organized in 1921, and has now heen in operation for approx- imately two years. The purpose of the Business , .,-, ... : ' .:,■ . dministration courses is to equip the students tn enter the profession of Business Administration I ' koi. .Mokn .and to hecomc Managers of Corporations, Sales- men, ,- ccountants. Statisticians, and Brsiness Managers. In the 1923 commencement the Department of Busness . ilniims- tration graduated six as its first graduating class from this institution. These graduates are now connected with large corporations like the Xational Cash Register Company of Dayton, Ohio, and are making good in their profession. The 1924 Freshman class of State College has nearly titty nien w ' lio have come to this institution for the purjiose id ' getting training in the Business Administration course. Even though the course has not heen long estahlished it is certainly drawing its share of the student body and should continue to do so on an even greater scale in the future. The Department of lUisiness Administration maintains in con- nection with its work a Placement Bureau, whereby it undertakes to give the graduate an opportunity to choose the particular business which he desires to enter and to make a connection with the large and more important liusiness concerns. Tlie Deiiartment. through its Placement Bureau, could have placed last June, 1923, many more men „ , h.id it liad them available. Pkoi . lolKNKV DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS The present Department of . gricultural Economics is the direct outcome of work started three years ago by Dr. C. C. Taylor. Under tile new organization of State College intcj three schools the Depart- ment of .Agricultural Economics was placed in the School of General Science. Dr. G. W. Forster, formerly acting chief of the office of Farm Management, U. S. Department of . griculture, Washington, 1). C, was selected head of the Department in September, 1923. .Mr. R. J. Saville, formerly of the h ' arm Crops Department of this institu- tion, was made assistant to Dr. Forster. The Department is organized into six major divisions as follows: Farm .Management, Economics of Production, Statistics and .Accounting, l ' ' arni h ' inance. Marketing and Land Economics. The major objectives of the Department are: to discover and make available facts regarding farming which will lead to increasing the profitableness of agriculture in the State ; to train students so that they may undertake independent investigations in the field of agricultural economics; to fit students to take positions as farm man- agers ; and to supply men with training so that they may take positions with commercial firms dealing with agricultural products or im- plements.

The School of Agriculture With the reorganization of State College, the School of Agriculture has been enlarged and strengthened by bringing into closer relationshi]) with the resident teaching the research and ex- tension work which for a number of years has l)een carried on by the College in cooperation with the State Department of Agriculture. The puri)ose of the School of Agriculture is three- fold: ( 1 ) To secure through scientific research, experimentation or demonstration, accurate and reliable information relating to soils, plants and animals and to secure from every available source reliable statistical, technical and scientific data relating to every phase of agriculture that might be of advantage to North Carolina; (2) to p ro- vide instruction in college for young men who desire to enter the field of general agriculture or who wish to become professionals in agricultural education, or specialists in anv field of science related to agriculture; and (3l to disseminate reliable infor- mation through publications and through extension workers and through a wise use of this information to give instruction to the agricultural workers of the State in the scientific, experimental and practical progress in the various hues of Agriculture. I ' nder the plan that is now being perfected the curriculum is organized so that not onlv is the subject matter for class-room instruction and extension work drawn frnni research and investigation but the students also are given the o])pnrtunitv of working under the direction of research specialists. In addition to the work of the Experiment Station and Extension Service, four general groups or programs of study have been outlined for this School. These are : ( 1 ) General Agriculture. ( 2 i Animal Industry. ( 3 ) Horticulture. (4) Poultry. Courses in each have been arrangeil with definite vocati.mal aims DliAX K 1 1. CORK Page Twenty. seven
