■• J { ADMINISTRATION ' A Message from the President I I RHAPS the juotto of our eoliege, Science with Practice, leally tells as much about her spirit and ambitions as a much longer statement. Iowa State College has developed under the men who founded her and under students of these very men, and she has been true to the motto of her founders. Iowa State College is a scientific institution, and in every de- partiment, along with a strong scientific staff and program, has de- veloped a very active interest in applying the several sciences to the service of the people. Here we are proud to solve, so far as we can, the problems of the farmer, the manufacturer and the merchant, and in addition such problems as arise in pure science. We are proud of our opportunity to carry to the people in the state the latest develop- ments in science through our Extension Staff. From the first we have been deeply interested in training men and women along scientific lines for practical service. The alumni of Iowa State have given a fine account of theanselves in the state and in the nation. In the several fields of work covered here we have won a good name in the educational field, and the responsibility rests on us, teachers and students, who are now here, to maintain it. I like to think of Iowa State (College, Iowa State University and Iowa State Teachers ' College, all as being ])arts of the great Univei-sity of Iowa which is developing in harmony and unity in three different cities under the direction of the State Board of Education. It is my ambition to develop to the highest possible excellence the work here in teaching, extension and research. R. M. HuttHES. TM!n t))tbe
