Demands the Best Techniques Food Industry The Food Industry is devoted to training its students in the practical and technical aspects of food processing and preservation. The men may either major in Dairy Processing or General Foods. Besides courses dealing with specific foods there are also manv subjects applicable to the general realm of chemistry and microbiology which have been found to be of great value. The methods of study are such that first the physical and chemical aspects of a particular food are discussed thor- oughly, and only then are processing procedures taught. Stress is placed on laboratory work which demonstrates the problems in industry on a small scale, and offers corrective procedures. With such rapid advance and changes in industrial technology and equipment, frequ ent field trips to modern food factories have been found to be very helpful. (;e(,rge E.

Ornamental Horticulture The OrnaiiuMilal Hditiculture field offers a vast horizon to its majors. Graduates are capable of ohtaiiiiiif; siieh positions as greenhouse and nursery managers, landscape nurserymen, and landscape architects: besides positions in the flora divisions of the field. In addition to the preceding oppor- tunities one can also gain a good knowledge of the subjects of cytology, morphology, pathology, physi- ology, and taxonomy. On our twenty-seven acres of campus the principles of this field may be amply seen and practiced. We become capable of observ- ing the processes .going on within the flora before us each day. and the correlation between the plant sciences and landscaping is very close. In order to landscape properly one must have a wide knowledge of plant material — their characteristics of growth. Our training enables us to work for graduate de- grees or to begin our own business.
