AGRICULTURE The Division of Agriculture is the oldest of the seven Schools of Michigan State College. In the early days of our college only Agriculture was offered by what then was the Michigan Agricultural College. The three main functions are: resident instruction in Agriculture and Forestry, Experiment Station and Research, and Extension Service. The aim of the resident instruction is to prepare students for successful farming and prepara- tion for the various technical positions in the research and education field of agriculture. The Experiment Station conducts research in the problems that relate to agriculture, such as livestock, soils, poultry, farm management and other fields. County agricultural agents of the Extension Service carry the teachings of the college into every corner of the state, bringing to the farmers the latest and best information available to help guide them in their operations. Agriculture presents a constantly broadening field. lt needs specialists with a scientific background such as this school produces, men trained for actual farm operations, to serve in vocational high schools and industries related to agriculture. Graduates of Michigan State College in agriculture and forestry may be found in the following major lines of Work: General Farming, Producers of Certified Seed Grain, Breeders of Purebred Livestock, Packing House Superintendents, Lumber Merchandising, Research Workers in State, Federal Experiment Stations, Specialists in Plant and Animal Breeding, Teachers in Agriculture. The division of Agriculture, through its many departments, is Well provided with modern equipment for student use and instruction. The college possesses an excellent physical plant and equipment, it operates a farm of 2500 acres adjacent to the campus, and in addition, seven sub-stations and demonstration farms totaling over 5000 acres in various parts of the state. :.--V '-v' jig' . 7 ' 27 .X .

ENGINEERING Due to the establishment of Basic College, the curriculum of the School of Engineering has changed. The credits for graduation from this course have been raised from 203 to 2l6. There are still two types of courses in engineering, however. One is a two year program for which no degree is given, but which helps a student prepare for positions as an engineering aid or as a technician, The other is the four year course which leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Mechanical Engineering Department, in addition to continuing its research with one of the regulator instrument companies studying the flow of air through registers and grills, has placed an added emphasis on the use of air conditioning for refrigeration and food technology. ln connection with the School of Home Economics and the Department of Forestry, the Engineering Drawing Department has presented courses in housing architecture. Recently a course in airplane drafting has been offered. Students taking Electrical Engineering can specialize in power generation, communication or electronics. This department expects to do cooperative research on induction heating with the Forestry Department. With increased importance placed upon soil mechanics and foundations, Civil Engineering is emphasising the graphical determination in stresses in structures. The Chemical and Metallurgical Science Department has continued research projects as part of the war effort under the auspices of the Engineering Experi- mental Station. During the year courses were offered in Michigan cities under the Engineer- ing, Science, Management, War Training program of the college in conjunc- tion with the U. S. Office of Education.
