COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE James E. Kraus Dean, College of Agriculture: Director, Agri cultural Experiment Station and Agricultural Extension Service. Agriculture has been universally in existence for many centuries. In fact, our earliest records of man find the agricultural science in practice. It is basically necessary for the existence and well-being of man. Today agriculture has grown into an exacting science, and the University of Idaho can claim the utle of being one of the top agricultural schools in our nation, Students come from all parts of the world to learn the skills connected with agriculture that are taught here. Practicing a three-fold program of teaching, research, and service, the University has a farm of 800 acres with purebred animals and equipment for extensive scientific study. The scientific findings each year are converted into practical improvements and new ways for better utilization of the land and its products, “The spirit of Idaho runs deep—nowhere is the spirit of loyalty and earnest ellort stronger than in those students who attend the College of Agriculture and who seek to draw their future livelihood from Idaho soil.” Department Heads Prov, J.
