College of Agriculture T is the object of the College of Agriculture of the University of Kentucky to give instruction in the fundamentals of an education that will prepare young men and women to become better citizens, more competent farmers or home makers, leaders in investigations relating to agriculture and the prob- lems of human living, competent member of husiness whose industry and development are affected by the farm or life of the home. Instruction is limited to the various applications of the several sciences as they relate to the field of agriculture in its broadest sense or to the realm of the home, both in its private and public relations. The ability to initiate and to execute investigation, instruction, rural leadership and farm operation is the ideal placed before the students of agriculture. The students of home economics have before them similar ideals except that they relate to the home and the broader human problems that concern it. Graduates in agriculture are leading farmers, investigators, business representatives, extension workers and teachers. Graduates in home economics are home-makers, exten- sion representatives, teachers, and are found in positions of responsibility in business enter- prises and in charge of public institutions. Any statement of the purpose of the Agricultural College as organized in the University of Kentucky is incomplete without including its threefold purpose and service. Its organi- zation represents three divisions of work closely inter-related, namely, the Teaching D.vi- sion, the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Extension Division. The Teaching Division comprises collegiate instruction in agriculture and home eco- nomics with a short course in agriculture for students who for one reason or another can not take up a collegiate course. The Agricultural Experiment Station is organized primarily for research in the field of agriculture, but in addition it is charged by law with certain control or inspection measures to protect certain interests of Kentucky’s citizens. The Extension Division is charged with the dissemination of information in agricul- ture and home economics to farmers and their families. This work is co-operatively carried on by the College of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture by means of demonstrations, lectures, bulletins, through county agricultural and home dem- onstration agents and through specialists. It is the aim of the College of Agriculture to render such service through these three phases of its work that agriculture may represent the best as well as the greatest industry in the state, and that the homes of the state may become the centers of health, efficiency and the highest type of American citizenship. 26
