Tirentit ' six ETERiNARY MEDICINE is steadily app roaching a new concept of its field of service. Instead of thinking in terms of disease, as has been the habit until quite recently in all branches of medicine, it is thinking of the application of medical sciences to all life, and particularly with a view of assisting to maintain health instead of curing disease. The new Department of Veterinary Hygiene is organized and func- tioning. It has taken over the milk inspection service for the City of Ames, which serves as an excellent laboratory in food hygiene. The Veterinary Research Institute was well represented at the first International Veterinary Congress to be held in the United States. The number in attendance was 1,820 from a membership of over 3,000, 750 of whom were from 61 foreign countries. The first class to enter under the one-year col- lege entrance requirement will graduate in June. It has been necessary for the veterinary faculty to adopt a selective system of admissions because there are approximately twice as many applicants as the facilities of the veterinary college can accommodate. Those who have had more than one year of college work will be given preference. All but two of the veterinary colleges of the United States have adopted the same requirements inaugurated four years ago by Iowa State College. C. H.

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.

.FACULTY EXTENSION SERVICE R. K. Bliss Director of Agricultural Extension Y MAKING available the research work and other information that Iowa State Col- lege has to offer to the people of Iowa does the Ex- tension Service bring this institution to the million people who live on the 214,000 farms in the state. Through a trained staff of extension specialists, county agents, home demonstration agents and club agents, the Extension Service carries information concerning all phases of agriculture and homemak- ing to the rural people. Its work embraces some activities of all the five divisions of the college. Agricultural Adjustment Administration pro- grams, in addition, drew heavily upon the educa- tional facilities of the Extension Service during 1934 and 1935. Extension specialists and members of the State Corn-Hog Committee trained the 1934 county and township corn-hog workers. Education of farm homemakers, through the women ' s home project work in every county, and of rural girls and boys through 4-H club ac- tivities, naturally, was continued. Cooperation in maintaining and con- ducting Station WOI, the college broadcasting station, went forward as usual. There are, besides the administrative staff, specialists in agricultural economics as well as in every other department of Agriculture, Dairy, Home Economics and in club work. Twenty-seven
