APPLIED SCIENCE The College of Applied Science ai Montana Store College is playing a very important part in producing well (mined college men. This department gives instruct ion and training in the fundamental sciences as applied to agriculture, engineering, and home economics. A large and important part of the student’s work in the majority divisions is given in the science department. lx the Chemistry Lab It is the policy of the department of botany and bacteriology to give the best possible undergraduate work, sending its best products to the larger uni. versifies for graduate work. The department is also designated to give pm-medical work. Its graduates have been found very acceptable for fellowships in postgraduate schools where they have never failed to make good. Entomology and zoology are playing a big part in the sciences today, h is estimated that five-sixths of the animals in the world are insects. They have much to do with man’s economic welfare, his health and happiness. From a scientific point of view they are among the most profitable forms of study. The entomologist now takes bis place with the engineer, the chemist, the doctor and the lawyer in the professional field. The department of Chemistry takes a very important part in a technical school. Chemistry is applied to the various phases of agriculture, home economics. engineering and many other important industries. To prepare students to take a leading part in the development and operation of those industries and pursuits which are based on the application of chemistry, this institution offers three collegiate courses.

COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCE In I best modern days the seienrist holds a commanding position. This is the age of science. Much of our progress has come through the development of science, especially in chemistry. Ido logy, and physics. These sciences are fundamental in the development of agriculture, medicine, the industries, and in social progress. A course in applied science gives the basis for important professional work in life. Scientific thought has a far-reaching influence upon the whole social order. Montana State College has taken a prominent place in engineering and agriculture largely because of two facts: first because the departments of engineering and agriculture are themselves well equipped, well organized and well taught: and. second because they are based upon sound collegiate training in science. Particular attention is being given to maintaining science upon a high level of efficiency at Montana State College, tin institution being rated in class -A” in the North Central Association of Colleges. In truth the college of applied science is a challenge for the young man or woman who has just finished high school. It is indeed a great task to pick the profession for which students are going to be best fitted. A course in applied science gives the basis for important professional work in many of the walks of lift . It requires thorough work and close application but its rewards are generous.
