z$ ckaai ar GENERAL SCIENC€ J. HE School of General Science is primarily a service school in that it gives training in the fundamental subjects common to all the other schools, so that every student in College is taught in its several departments. In addition the school of General Science offers several courses lead- ing to the B.S. degree. Students may specialize in English, Physics, Mathematics, and the Social Sciences. Also, three-year pre-professional courses are offered for those who wi sh to prepare for Medicine, Law, Dentistry, etc. A student who completes the pre-professional course will be awarded a B.S. degree from Clemson when he is graduated from a recognized professional school. The faculty of the School of General Science is composed of men who have had special training in their respective fields. All have degrees from recognized colleges and universities and all have done graduate work. Nine of the staff have the Ph.D., ten have M.A., and all the others have B.S. or B.A. D. W. Daniel, M.A., Litt.D. Dean Top — Cooke, Reid, LaGrone, Ward, Rankin, Taylor, Sheldon, Kinard, Brown. Middle — Edwards, Huff, Burton, Lane, Bradley, Goode, Hendricks, Hunter. Bottom — Holmes, Godfrey, Crouch, Daniel, Sherrill, Rhyne, Brearley.

c clioai AGRICULTURE c, R. A. McGixTY Acting Dean iLEMSON COLLEGE was established primarily for the dissemination of scientific agricul- tural knowledge. It was logical, therefore, that the agricultural curriculum should attract many of those who come here for their education. When the institution first opened its doors in 1893, one hundred and fifty students registered for work in the twelve courses offered in General Agri- culture, Horticulture, Dairying, and Botany. Today three hundred students are enrolled in one hundred courses which lead to degrees in Agricultural Economics. Agronomy. Animal Husbandry, Dairying. Entomology. Horticulture, and Agricultural Engineering. Specialized training is also provided in Forestry, in botanical subjects, in Poultry Husbandry, and in Veterinary Medicine. Hundreds of our agricultural graduates have gone out and made their way into positions of leadership in their respective fields. With the entire agricultural industry being organized on a scale undreamed of a few years back, bringing changes of far reaching importance, it seems likely that opportunities will continue to beckon those interested in farming and its problems. The new Agricultural Building, so long needed, will furnish greatly improved facilities for the work of the School of Agriculture, making possible more interesting, more thorough, and more efficient instruction. i — Gl ' lX.

cltaat a- H. H. Calhoun, Dean Ph.D. CHEMISTRY GEOLOGY N 1890. when so-called modern chemistry was but twenty-one years old, the Chemistry Build- ins; was erected at Clemson College. The first faculty, consisting of Colonel M. B. Hardin and Dr. R. N. Brackett. reported for duty in 1891, two years before the College opened its doors to students. In 1900 the building was enlarged to its present size. On Colonel Hardin ' s retirement, Dr. Brackett became Director. In 1933 the School of Chemistry and Geology was formed, anil Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun as Dean succeeded Dr. Brackett. The teaching staff now numbers twelve. Early students of Chemistry returning to Clemson can find their old familiar laboratories and even their same old desks, but they find a very different curriculum — modern and broadened. The 640 freshmen who began their study of Chemistry in the fall of 1935 did not elect it as a favorite science, but accepted it as a fundamental part of their professional training whether they expect to become civil, electrical, mechanical, or textile engineers, agricultural experts, pre-medics, or chemists. Nor does a chemist have the narrow field of former years, but can now specialize in ramifications of chemical science not dreamed of forty years ago. Thus the courses now of- lered in this department reflect the enormous growth of the subject and its ever widening applica- tion-- in industry and in the other sciences.
