Jacoby Associate Professor of Poultry Husbandry Poultry Husbandry Poultry Husbandry is a science of huge dimen- sions. A major in this field must study not only different fowls, breeds and varieties in a given fowl, eggs and egg production, but. must also be well versed in the basic sciences. A graduate may engage in research or management work related to egg and poultry production in regard to quality production and the economics of production. Prac- tical work and numerous field trips to modern poultry processing plants in conjunction with class- room and laboratory work are essentials necessary to gain a full understanding of this field.

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.

ADAMS Liberal Arts No one should sjiecialize to the point where he knows nothing other than his own field. Over- specialization is one of the gerat dangers facing students and educators today. A well rounded individual must have some knowledge of a variety of subjects. These subjects are classified as the Liberal Arts and Humanities. Courses falling into this classification are designed to enlarge the hori- zons of a student and adjust his perspective as well as train him in free thinking. Among the Liberal Arts and Humanities offered at N.A.C. are English, economics, political science, logic, mathematics, art. music, philosophy, psychology, and foreign affairs. It is through these studies that our personalities are molded; to shape the adult we become. I ' ricr Click. J I. .Associate Pro lessor ol Poliliral Srienn- Elmer S.
