li DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE An increase, though slight, in the numlier (if Division and a marked increase in Short Course indicative of public reaHzation of the fact that Michigan agriculture ofifers bright prospects for those entering this field at the present time. The apparently unasoidable con- ditions following the World War have best been met by increasing the diversification of Michigan ' s farm enterprises. The variety of courses offered by the Agricultural Division have been developed hand in hand with Michigan ' s agricul- tural needs. Dairy husl)andry, ani- mal husbandry, poultry husbandry, farm crops, soils, horticulture, landscape architecture, forestry, and agricultural engineering offer excellent opportunities at the pres- ent time and will require more trained men than now available to take care of the needs of the imme- diate future. The next ten years bid fair to be prosperous ones for those trained in scientific agriculture. students in the Agricultural attendance mav be taken as Dean J. F. Cox cfl l Page tivcnty-}

S ra DIVISION OF LIBERAL ARTS The departments comprising the Liberal Arts Division have been in existence for vears. Although their work has recently been coordinated as a unit, the Liberal Arts Division has already bet uii to assert itself and to develop a consciousness. As time goes on, a greater call for service is made on the Division. The development of a course in F ' ublic School Music during the past year has strengthened greatly the work in Arts. The course meets a demand for students ade- quately trained in music to serve in our pul)lic school sy.stem. Another contributing factor to the develop- ment of the work has been the addition of a course in Hotel Training. This curriculum has iieen arranged in response to a demand on the part of the hotel men of the state for personnel trained to meet the needs of an e er-increasing traveling public. jiile endeavoring to care for these wants, the work in Business .Administration and other arts has shown a healthy growth. .Ml of these courses increase the cultural as well as the vocational aspects of Dean li.
