ZMJM At the far western end of the campus are the many buildings ofthe College of Agriculture. The functions ofthe college are organized into three different branches, research, education, and ex- tension. Many of the faculty members, besides teaching regular classes, engage in extensive research vvorlc, aid in re- ducing farming hazards, and solve agri- cultural economic problems. The versatile students in the College of Agriculture are engaged in activities of all lcinds. Girls in the l-lome Eco- nomics Course actually put into practice all that they have learned in their lecture classes. ln her senior year each l-lome EC-major, vvith eight other girls, spends fourteen days in the l'lome EC cottage, supervised by Miss l'lelen Waite. Each group of girls, during the stay in the cottage, makes out the budgets and menus, coolcs the meals, does the laundry and house-cleaning, and enter- tains the faculty. .The same kind of practical experience is, given to the Ag students, vvho are learning the progressive methods of agriculture. ln the barns, poultry build- ings and green houses, they learn hovv tu use modern farming equipment to the best advantage. Moreover, through the Work of the students and faculty, valuable information and data is col- lected and made available to the farmers of Wisconsin. The Ag School is active in campus activities too. lts big event of the year is the Hl.ittle lnternationalf, the annual stoclt show. The fall Walk-Around and numerous dances sponsored by Ag organizations also play an important part in campus social life.
