liiiim The School of Agriculture T purpose of the School of Agricul- ture is to serve North Carolina ' s great- est basic industry agriculture. To that end the school is organized along three gen- eral lines of activity : First, To secure through scientific re- search accurate and reliable information relating to soils, plants and animals and to collect from every available reliable source statistical, technical and scientific data re- lating to the various phases of agriculture that might he of advantage to our state ; Second, To provide resident instruction for young men who desire to enter the field of general agriculture or who wish to be- come professionals in agricultural education or specialists in the various fields of science relating to agriculture; Third, To give instruction and practical demonstrations in agriculture and home economics to persons not attending the col- lege by field demonstrations, publications, and otherwise. Beginning a generation ago on a small scale, the School of Agriculture has grown until today it embraces the following im- portant divisions: (a) Agronomy, includ- ing Field Crops, Soils, Plant Breeding, and Agricultural Engineering; (b) Animal Industry, including Animal Production, Animal Nutrition, Dairy Production, and Dairy Manufacturing; (c) Botany, including Bacteriology, Plant Physiology, and Plant Diseases; (d) Horticulture, including Pomology, Forestry, Floriculture, Landscape Gardening, and Truck Farming; (e) Poultry Science, including Poultry Diseases, Poultry Breeding, Poultry Feeding, and Poultry Management; (f) Zoology, including Genetics, Entomology, and Animal Physiology; (g) Agricultural Administration and Farm Management.

RIDDICK Dean The School of Engineering THE School of Engineering embraces the depart- ments of Architectural, Ceramic, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Highway, Mechanical, Mining, and Struc- tural Engineering and also the Engineering Experi- ment Station. It has for its purpose the preparation of men for efficient service in the solution of the various engineering problems which have become more and more complex as our civilization has ad- vanced and more important locally by reason of the rapid change of the conditions in our State from agricultural and rural to industrial and urban. This college was established primarily for the purpose of teaching Agriculture and Engineering. It has con- tinuously increased its emphasis on engineering education for the young men of the State and has been largely instrumental in bringing about the recogni- tion of Engineering as a learned profession. While the instruction in the School of Engineering is preeminently technical, it is not narrow. We recognize the fact that the activities of the engineer cover a broad field and that in order to succeed in this profession, one must be not merely a technically educated man, but also an educated technical man. The School of Engineering, therefore, has incor- porated into its curricula numerous subjects of general educational value from other Schools of the college. Courses are required in English, Economics, Modern Languages, etc. There is, of course, thorough training in Mathematics, both pure and applied. The objective of the School is to prepare young men for success in their chosen pro- fession as well as for leadership in all matters of public interest. The School of Engineering is largely and more completely equipped and teaches more students than the combined engineering departments of all other institutions of the State. Our students live and work in an engineering atmosphere and their every daily association is helpful, in that it keeps the prospective engineer in constant touch with those things that pertain to his work. In a word, State College is the center from which go out most of the men trained to supply the engineering industries of the State. The location of the college is especially favorable for the study of engineering. Besides being the capital and having the several State Departments, including the State Highway Commission, the State Board of Health, and other important State institutions, Raleigh is a rapidly growing city marked by unusual developments in residential, com- mercial and municipal construction which afford excellent opportunities for observation and study. Raleigh is also the center from which electrical power is distributed to a large section of the State. A large Transformer Sub-Station adjoins the campus from which high tension lines carry electrical power in every direction. Many large hydro- electric and steam-electric plants are within easy reach of the college, and to these plants our students make frequent visits for purposes of instruction. The purpose of the School may be summarized as follows: First. To educate men for professional service in the various branches of engineering and at the same time equip them for participation in commercial and public affairs and to develop their capacity for intelligent citizenship. Second. To forward the development of commerce and industry throughout our State; to aid in the development of our natural resources, and to demonstrate their value to the people of the State.
