Vass, Ph.D. w m N outstanding College of Agriculture, worthy of the position and name as the preparatory school for the future agriculturists of the State of Wyoming, is the College of Agriculture (if the University of Wyoming. It has been predicted, and probably will come to be with a great deal of certainty, that the greatest agri- cultural development in the next twenty-five years in this great field in the state, will come through our own men and women of Wyoming , who study and will study in this college. A remarkably able faculty, assisted by the extensive facilities for good instruc- tion, is possibly the one greatest factor that has put the College of Agriculture in the eminent position that it now holds. Wyoming is fast becoming one of the leading agricultural states of the west and the Agricultural College is a live adjunct to the live University of this state. I ' iige Twenty-siN 1928

Along with its growth in student enrollment and interest among the students, the College of Engineering has been expanding in the size of its housing quarters. Four years ago, a long stride toward the present excellent condition was made when the shops building was built. In 1927, the Engineering College moved into a new classroom and office building that is one of the outstanding structures on the campus. Indicative of its keeping trend of advancing science, was the installation in the college, this year, of a course in aeronautics which, it is expected, will be followed soon by a regular course in actual dying.

' 11 ' HE College of Education has for its special duty the training of men and women ■ to enter the field of teaching. It is not concerned merely with the schoolroom teacher as an animate object, but it trains that individual to do his work by the best possible methods. It has problems too, in the training of educational supervisors and leaders. The College of Education is divided into several departments, each of which trains as it is concerned, either for secondary, elementary, rural or special schools. A laboratory system is at the disposal of students in this college for demonstrating the various educational ])rinci])les or theories and for providing the student teachers with opportunity of putting into execution those principles he is learning while under critical but hel])ful guidance. It is a college that has a large enrollment and is certainly furnishing a l)road worthwhile service to students and to the various communities. Page Twentv-seven
