The School Of Agriculture Ag. Enrollment Up By 15% Enrollment in the School of Agri- culture increased approximately 15 r f over last year. The first increase in several years, it is expected that this growth will continue for several more years. The present enrollment is 449. With the emergence of agriculture from just farming into a big, high- ly technical industry, the School of Agriculture is placing more emphasis on the basic sciences — chemistry, physics, and math — and on business and communications. The School of Agriculture was founded in 1903, and now consists of twelve departments of instruction. The largest department is General Agriculture, with an enrollment of 97. Animal Husbandry, with an en- rollment of 96, is the second largest department. DR. LOUIS N. WISE, Dean DR. JOE BEARDEN Dairy Department DR. C DALE HOOVER Agronomy
