THE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE With the college ' s agriculture buildings spread over a wide area, trucks are necessarily used to convoy students to and from their labs. Agricultural Economics Agricultural Engineering Agronomy Animal Husbandry Botany Dairy Entomology Horticulture Poultry Pre-Forestry Pre-Veterinary Already recognized as one of the foremost in the nation, Clemson ' s Agricultural School is in the process of expanding even more. Graduates are scattered over the country in research, business, industry, and farming. The ag major is greeted his freshman year in Long Hall with Botany and suffers with the others through English, math, and chemistry. During his sophomore year the pains increase with Mauldin ' s organic chemistry, Frogs zoology, Lehotsky ' s farm forestry, literature, and physics. Still the ag student hasn ' t seen much of farming, but the foundations are being laid. As a junior, he begins to branch out into his chosen field, moving into the Lord ' s fold, the Dairy Building, Education Building, or any of the others. He examines the agar in bacteriology, runs the genetic gauntlet, works fertilizer and feed problems and moves in on the bees and blossoms. At last the senior gets down to work he has chosen for himself. What with seminar reports, theses, labs all week, outside activities, his time is well taken up. The finishing touches are put on feeding, judging, ice cream manufacturing, soil and fertilizer analysis, fruit growing, bug killing, and the solving of agriculture ' s economic problems.
