EXTENSION SERVICE ,Three-fourths of Iowa ' s farm families are reached annually by the Extension Service, directed by R. K. BLISS. This program is carried out by a field force of county agricultural agents, home extension agents and 4-H Club agents with nearly 27,000 farm people who serve social leaders. Besides the large enrollment in numerous farm projects for adult farmers, 100,000 women particpated in home economics extension courses last year. s ENGINEERING EXTENSION During the past year, Engineering Extension under the supervision of D. C. FABER had 4,400 students enrolled in extension classes and short courses; 600 industries, schools and municipalities were assisted; 40,000 persons attended 270 educational talks given by staff members. And so it is in continued serv- ice that Engineering Extension celebrates its twenty- five years of organized educational service to the industrial interests of Iowa. MEMORIAL UNION This year the 14 members of the Student Board of Directors together with HAROLD E. PRIDE, man- aging director of the Union, petitioned the student body and so now we have the new south wing with its enlarged Commons, Great Hall and the six bowling alleys. All this is additional to the board ' s traditional work of sponsoring Twisters, Campus Varieties, Books and Coffee and the rest of those innumerable services the Union offers. ALUMNI The Alumni Association, organized in 1876 is dedi- cated to the service of Iowa State College and her alumni. During the past year, secretary WALLACE E. BARRON and other officers have added new features to its services. These were: bi-monthly pro- grams over VVOI featuring: the college, her faculty, students and alumni; cooperation with the Varsity I Club in sponsoring a letterman ' s luncheon at Home- coming; and joint financing of Cyclone football games.
