The College of Engineering and Architecture Engineering, as a science, holds opportunities undreamed of. This is true of all its phases, electrical, civil, mechanical, highway, chemical, architectural and agricultural. Each day brings new ideas and new work into each field, making the outlook broader and more interesting. Growth in the scope has meant growth and intensity in the study and increase in the numbers interested. Historically, Auburn has the oldest college of engineering and architecture in the South and one of the oldest schools of engineering in the country. Practically, it ranks among the best. Recognition is given everywhere to an Auburn engineer for his knowledge, ability, personality, fresh life and vigor. John Jenkins Wilmore Dean

The College of Agriculture A o OI Research and educational work represent the fields into which the work of the College of Agriculture is divided. Each of these two is covered by the Departments of Agronomy, Agricultural Engineering, Animal Husbandry, Rotany, Entomology, Farm Management and Horticulture. These phases arc equally important, but research is probably the more interesting. Its purpose is to discover new facts and principles pertaining particularly, in this case, to agriculture, to render them practical to the average farmer, and finally, to give the matter the necessary publicity. The educational phase must supplement this by training farmers and teachers of farmers in modern methods and efficiency such as are not to be “learned on the farm.” Marion Jacob Fukchess Dean 20 IO r- . ■ AUBURN

Graduate Studies Graduate work has grown during fifty years of educational development from the unusual to the usual. Encouragement of it at Auburn through forty years has meant the filling of many chairs in Southern Colleges. Inspiration and impulse toward research in advanced work have meant valuable contributions to the store of human knowledge. Specialized training is necessary today for the understanding of modern problems and situations. To be untrained is to be mediocre, to be partially trained is to be average, and to be specially trained is to be in a position to grow, to progress and to live. Thus the Graduate School ministers unto the needs of many. George Petrie Dean
