It attempts to offer fundamental courses which are standard with other colleges, as well as special work for its own students. Stu- dents found in the various courses include those who are majoring in Biology, those who need it to meet the general col- lege requirements, those who take it for its cultural value, and a large number who need it to supplement work in the De- partments of Agriculture, Home Economics, Education, Social Science, and Psychology. The Division of Agriculture aims to train those students who will teach agriculture in the high schools in the elements of agri- cultural principles and practices. This division of the department also serves those students who do not plan to teach agriculture, but whose purpose is an acquisi- tion of agricultural knowledge which will help make them scien- tiiic farmers. An opportunity to see and to study the most modern scien- tific practices in agriculture ap- plied is afforded the student by the college farm of approxi- mately two hundred acres. l l R. A.
