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.

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

JL SCHOOL 4 TEXTILES The CLEMSON textile school offers three major courses: (1) Textile Engineering, (2) Textile Chemis- try and Dyeing, and (3) Weaving and Designing. The enrollment in the Textile School has shown an appre- ciable increase, year by year, during the last ten years. This increased enrollment in textiles has been brought about by the growing demand for Clemson textile men. Competition in the textile industry, as in other indus- tries, is keen, which means that the industry needs and is calling for a greater number of men technically trained in textiles. Even with this greater enrollment and the corresponding increase in the number of grad- uates, the yearly requests for Clemson textile men are approximately double the number of textile graduates available for the positions. The Clemson Textile School with its eleven well- trained teachers is continuing its work in the reorganiza- tion of the present textile courses with a view toward giving the students training which keeps pace with changes in the industry. The Textile Foundation is now cooperating with the American textile schools in the re- organization of the courses in yarn manufacturing. This work is centered at Clemson under the general supervi- sion of a committee representing the deans of the textile schools, and under the direct supervision of the Dean of Clemson Textile School. H. H. Willis. The Textile Foundation is also sponsoring work in wool and in cost, economics, management and marketing as applied to textiles. DEAN H. H. 30
