DEAN CLAY LYLE Recently appointed Dean of the School of Science, Dr. Clay Lyle has served as a member of the Mississippi State faculty for quite a number of years. He was Professor of Zoology and Entomology, receiving his B.S. in 1917 at Mississippi State, and his M.S. in 1931 at Mississippi State, and Ph.D. at Iowa State in 1937. His ability as a chemist and teacher cannot be over- rated. He is truly a favorite with students on the campus and also students in his school. We are looking forward to hearing more about the excellent work of Dean Lyle. SCIENCE SCHOOL Since its organization in 1903, the School of Science has advanced to the point where it is now being recognized as one of the outstanding in the South.

A fine speaker and accomplished writer, Dr. Dren- non has been found to be unsur- passed in his own particular style of biting humor. He has already carved his own personal niche in the hearts of the students of State.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL Agricultural research on an unprecedented scale, and intended to aid in promoting full employment and national prosperity by maintaining an equitable balance between agriculture and other sections of the nation ' s economy. That is merely a partial part of the theories and facts learned by students enrolled in the Mississippi State School of Agriculture. The students are taught the newest methods of farming, and an intimate knowledge of scientific agriculture. This school is divided into nine major departments: General Agriculture, Agricultural Administration, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Horticulture, and Poultry Hus- bandry. Instruction is given in both class rooms and in fields, as well as the research work done in the laboratories. Complete and adequate facilities are available at all times to further students enrolled in the work of broadening their professional and personal agricultural knowledge. DEAN COLMER Heading the Mississippi State College School of Agriculture is able, conscientious Dean E. B. Colmer. Since he first joined the faculty, he has watched his School of Agriculture grow into a nationally recognized division of the College. A true State lover, Dean Col- mer always enjoys talking to all students and is always available to the student who wants some- one to tell his troubles to. He is always to be remembered by Staters. 21
