g7;fe-EAN VAN - DEAN LOWRY NELSON ■ M ROUGH the departments of agronomy, animal husbandry, drafting, home economics, horticulture, mechanic arts, and rural social economics, the College of Applied Science appeals to three main groups of students: first, those students who wish to prepare for vocations of agriculture, home econimcs, or the various fields of mechanic arts: secondly, the students who wish to prepare for teaching, and related work upon graduation: and thirdly, those students who plan to do specialized work in some chosen field after graduation here. For this latter group, preparatory work in architecture, mechanical, structural, electrical, and civil engineering, landscape architecture, advanced graduate work in all fields of agriculture and home economics may be had. Graduates in agriculture are now doing advanced work on fellowships at Iowa State College, Rutgers Uni- versity, Massachusetts Agricultural College, Oregon State College, Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station, Michigan Agricultural College, Cornell L ' niversity, and Montana State College. Other graduates are employed as teachers, county agents, Smith-Hughes workers, crop pest inspectors, and as farmers, business and professional men, and home makers in the Intermountain West. Extemsioiti Division ORGANIZED in 1920, the Extension Division has grown steadih ' in the number of contacts which it makes with the people of the West. Upwards of 500 men and women are at present receiving academic instruction off the campus. Added to this number are several literary clubs which are follow- ing courses of study outlined by members of the University faculty, and published by this division The miscellaneous lectures delivered by the mem- bers of the faculty throughout the year before ward assemblies, dinner clubs, scientific societies, leader- ship institutes, both here and in other localities, reach tens of thousands annuall) ' . Not only by the spoken word is the message of B. V. U. carried beyond the confines of the campus. The exceptional music and dramatic talent produced each year at the Y is given an oppor- tunity to visit communities of Utah and neighboring states. The Division works in close cooperation with the Public Service Bureau of the Student Body in supplying programs for community organizations. We are in the midst of a world-wide movement for adult education. The Extension Division represents the organized contribution of Brigham ■ Young University to that movement.
