How well it is accomplishing this purpose is shown bv the large number of its graduates who hold responsible positions in the L. S. Department of Agri- culture, the various State Experiment Stations, the State Extension Service, the Colleges and Universities of the countrv and in their own communities. The School offers students seven major fields of spe- cialization leading to the B.S. degree: Agricultural Eco- nomics. Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Horticulture, Zoology and Entomology, and Agricul- tural Engineering. All students in Agriculture, except those in Agricultural Engineering take the basic curric- ulum in the Freshman and Sophomore years. This curriculum is designed to give the student a broad back- ground in the sciences. Upon this background are built the specialized courses required in his major field, which he elects at the beginning of his Junior year. Due to the nature of the course the students in Agricultural Engi- neering follow a specialized curriculum throughout the four years. The School of Agriculture this year is offering one hundred and three courses. There are thirty instructors who devote all or part time to teaching. In a student body of sixteen hundred there are three hundred work- ing toward a degree in some branch of Agriculture. DEAN H. P. COOPER

lie ? )UMHC. . II. anaaet f l James C. Littlejohn Another whom we pause to salute is Clemson ' s Business Manager, Mr. J. C. Littlejohn. Hiding be- hind a shield of modesty and unobtrusiveness, he is not so well known to the underclassmen and casual visitors to the campus. The Clemson cadet realizes before he graduates, however, the vital role which Mr. Littlejohn so capably fills. All routine matters regarding the business and financial end of Clemson ' s affairs are dispatched by the Business Manager, and when a crisis arises, Mr. Littlejohn stands as a bul- wark against forces tending to retard Clemson ' s progress. The building program now nearing completion was made possible to a great extent through Mr. Little- john ' s efforts and even now, he is making plans for the future. The temporary barracks which cared for the overflow due to increased enrollment last year have been vacated and are being converted into rec- reation, club and store rooms. This was only one of Mr. Littlejohn ' s measures to make the living con- ditions on the campus more agreeable. Mr. Littlejohn ' s membership in such campus or- ganizations as Blue Key and Tau Beta Pi is ample evidence that he is keenly interested in student activi- ties and as we continue to pass in review, we are fully aware that in the Business Manager ' s office, we have a genial and able friend. 27

llu SCHOOL • CHEMISTRY Even THE OLDEST Clemson man, on returning to the College, will recognize at least one familiar landmark. The Chemistry Building was the first erected on the campus and, except for the addition made in 1900, stands today as it did in 1893. But there have been changes, vital and significant, within the department itself. From an original staff of two instruc- tors, the personnel of the department has increased to thirteen. Prom a comparatively few courses the curriculum has changed to one of variety, embracing many and newer fields, for the department and its work have grown with ever-increasing de- mands of the profession. The School of Chemistry and Geology, under the able direc- tion of Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, can justly say that its graduates are well equipped for their life ' s work. The responsible posi- tions held by the School ' s graduates attest this fact. LEFT TO RIGHT— FRONT ROW: R. E. Gee, F. W. zurBurg, F. H. H. Calhoun, H. L. Hunter, W. L. Lippincott. SECOND ROW: G. F.
