According to the Master Plan, the College of Agriculture, the smallest school at UCLA, is being phased out and transferred to other cam- puses. Majors are still offered in floriculture, ornamental horticul- ture, and general horticulture. The research phase of agricultural sciences is being carried out by the Experimental Research Station in the fields of physiology, animology, entomology, soil drainage, and nu- trition. By the phase-out date of July, 1968, the department of floriculture will be transferred to Davis and the ornamental hor- ticulture division to Riverside. As a result of the impending transfer, the administration is discouraging future enrollment.
