FACULTY HOME ECONOMICS JLn A recent study of the employment of the Home Economics graduates of the last four years, ninety-three percent of the seven hundred and sixty-one who have received bachelor degrees are employed; ninety-five percent of the one hundred and fifty-nine in the class of 1934 are employed. High school teaching ranks first in the occupations of the graduates of the four-year period; home- making ranks second, and dietetics third. Most of the other graduates are employed in some one of the other fields of Institution Management, Extension Service, nursery school teaching, commercial food work, journalism or home servicing.. The division expects to have little trouble in placing this year ' s graduates in good posi- tions. The Home Economics Section of the Experiment Station has twelve research projects under way. In addition, it cooperates with other sec- tions in work on six projects. The division aims to give a liberal education and practical training in home economics by means of instruction in the arts, the natural and social sciences, and their place in modem civilization. Home management houses, a nursery school and a tea room are unusual in most institutions, but offer practical experience to girls at Iowa State College.

FACULTY- E N G N E E R N G T. R. Agg Dean of Engineering SCIENTIFIC technique for the control of the forces, materials and energy of nature, in so far as these relate to engineering, a technique for the organization of human effort, a technique for appraising the resulting benefits to mankind — these are the distinctive qualities of a complete education in engineering as taught in the Iowa State Division. Beside the regular engineering departments, which furnish the student with instruction in basic science, technical and humanistic courses, are three closely allied departments, differing in character from the teaching departments. The first, the Engi- neering Experiment Station, carries on research for the division. During the past year experiments have been conducted re- lating to the utilization of agricultural wastes, the disposal of creamery and other wastes, the operation costs of automobiles, skidding and others. The second of these departments, the Engineering Extension Service, holds short courses both on the campus and throughout the state. Sur- veyors, welders, gas-metei-men, pain ters, plumbers and others take ad- vantage of the short period of instruction by the college. The department also provides a technical information service. The third of these related departments is the Engineering Personnel Service, which establishes contact with the employment and personnel divisions of industrial, commercial and business organizations, and thereby is enabled to advise and aid those engineering graduates who are seeking employment.

Twenty-five E. C. E. Friley Dean of Industrinl Scie VERY student of Iowa State College comes into contact with the Division of Industrial Science during his college career. For students majoring in any curriculum the fundamental studies are provided by the several departments in this division. In addition, stu- dents in all divisions are encouraged to include in their programs as many as possible of the general studies such as Public Speaking, Psychology, Music, Literature, History and Modem Languages, which are offered as a part of the work of the Industrial Science Division. The program has now been revised so that the students from Junior Colleges can enter Iowa State College as juniors with full credit for their first two years of work in the college from which they transferred. One of the important phases of the work of the division is the pro- gram of research in Industrial Science, directed pri- marily toward the solution of problems of agriculture and industry in Iowa through the application of techniques and principles developed by the various scientific groups within the Division. This program is closely correlated with the research work of the Agricultural Experiment Station, the Engineering E.xperiment Station and the Veterinary Research Institute. Plans are under way for the establishment of a divisional publication, fostered primarily by Indus- trial Science students and devoted to the develop- ment and progress of science in Iowa.
