Men and women who received their Bachelor of Science degrees in this school have gone to all parts of the country, many of them receiving high positions of merit. A ‘large number of the graduates have not been American citizens, but they have taken to their people the feeling of confidence which Idaho instills into her students. The School of Education is one of the largest schools in the University because of the wide field of study which it offers. Dean J. F. Messenger is the guardian of the School of Education. He has established an enviable reputation for his branch of the Uni- versity, and as proof of his thorough training, his school continues to increase in F catollinent James FrRankuin Messencer, edu- cator and author, is an authority on problems of education.

Cs lege of ty ric lta Te “All agricultural roads lead to Moscow and the University of Idaho.” This statement is not only a presumption of the members of the Col- lege of Agriculture, but is a fact. For many years students have come from their own states to Idaho to enroll in the College of Agriculture under the able guidance of Dean E. J. Iddings. Situated in the heart of one of the largest and best dry-land agricultural districts in the United States, the college gives the student a varied training in the industry that is “the backbone of the nation.” The course is not confined only to the raising of crops, but also includes the study of modern methods of farming and dairy- ing. The college has many divisions, including mechanics, poultry, dairying, agronomy, and all other branches of the agricultural industry. Agriculture is one of the most practical courses in the University. Epwarp Joun Ippincs has always been interested in the problems of agriculture, Before attending Colo- rado Agricultural College, he roughed it on several Colorado ranches. In order to study farms abroad, he worked his way to Europe on a cattle boat after graduation, Since coming to Idaho in 1910, he has been an aid to farmers here. STIIZIIZE K SESSEESE G. oe as Ai — ; School of Ausiness Amintstralion With a depression behind and a brighter fu- ture ahead, the graduates of the School of Busi- ness Administration have already gained prac tical knowledge of great value. This depression has taught everyone the need of sound business principles, and future graduates will enter into an era of better business conditions. Students in the school of business receive a thorough business education along with elective courses which the University offers. Subjects are not confined entirely to the business school, but the student may take courses in other schools and colleges, thus receiving a well-rounded edu- cation that will be an asset in securing a posi- tion after graduation from the University. Dean Ralph H. Farmer is at the head of the School of Business Administration. Assisting him is a staff of well trained men, all of whom have received practical training as technicians in the business field. Raten Honrer Farmer is Dean of the business school, and a professor of business and economics. While earning his A.B. at Oberlin, College, he took time off to make Phi Beta Kappa. During summer vacations when a student, he danced to the sailor’s hornpipe on a Great Lakes boat, now to the stock markets and business cycles. 2} 2642

sckanl ofc Toe 4 sley “Book larnin’” is a small part of the study thar the students in the School of Forestry par- take of while earning their degree from that school. The University of Idaho owns many acres of densely forested land which provides an open air laboratory for the students in the school to learn practical methods. In addition to the valuable training the students receive through practical work on the “experimental acres,” they also have access to an experiment station maintained in Moscow by the United States Forest Service. The competency of the graduates of this school was experienced with the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the spring of 1933, at which time every available man in the school was given a responsible position by the government. Dr. Ernest E. Hubert was pro- moted to Acting Dean of the school after the death of Francis Garner Miller in March. Dr. Hubert has been at Idaho since 1926. Ernest Everstr Huser, also Acting Dean of the Graduate School during the sabbatical absence of C. Ww. Hungerford, is noted for his re- search work in plant ps ratah After receiving his B. S. and M. S. degrees from the University of Monts ina and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, he came to Idaho in 192 as a professor of Forestry. SFTTETSEE K SSESSESE jr, Oe) aioe c ChLlhege é d Many freshmen have entered the office of the Dean of the Junior College and wondered “Just what is this Junior College all about?”’ The same question is in the minds of not only the fresh- men, but it also is of concern to some of the parents who send their children to the Univer- sity. The purpose of the college is to give the stu- dents a better understz inding of the Univ ersity and allow them to become well acquainted with university routine. The Junior College requires two years of study, and after completion of this the students enter the senior college. Tuomas Stone Kerr was evidently T.S. Kerr, Dean of the Junior College , directs the educational training of many university stu- dents. It is his duty to give personal attention to the curriculum of those in his college. All students entering the School of Business Administration and the College of Letters and Science first complete the courses of the Junior College. a natural born executive as all of his positions have been of that class. Before he entered the educational field he was a chautauqua circuit director and later traveled for the Washington State Retail Associa- tion. Before coming to the Univer- sity in 1924, he was superintendent of schools at Bonners Ferry. re $ 28 fo
