Administration v.- F. B. MlMFOKD Dean COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE npHE College of Agriculture is concerned with the educa- tional, economic, and social development of the rural community. Its three-fold organization, including college teaching, agricultural research, and agricultural extension, represents a complete, well-organized and efficient system of great potential possibilities in the development of a con- tented, efficient and stable rural civilization. In the College proper, young men and women are trained for successful achievement in a rural environment, for service as teachers of agriculture, extension workers, scientific investigators in the field of agriculture, and even for business service with corporations and firms dealing in agricultural commodities or whose market is chiefly among farmers. The Agricultural Experiment Station is an organization of competent scientific investigators devoting their entire energies to the solution of farmers ' problems. The Agricultural Extension Service carries directly to farmers the knowledge of value in agricultural enterprise, encourages cooperation for educational and social purposes, and brings continually to farmers and farm people the latest knowledge of value in the lives of rural people. The College of Agriculture owes its establishment to a demand on the part of the people themselves for a type of education expressed in the Morrill Act of Congress approved by President Lincoln in 1862. This law provided for the establishment and endowment of institutions of higher learning devoted to instruction in agriculture and the mechanic arts.
