As a result of invention, scientific investigation, and the application of the resulting developments, our Agriculture and Industry changes constantly. Here at Morrisville we keep our teaching, both in the classroom and laboratory, in step with the accepted practices to be encountered as graduates leave college to enter positions in the world at work. This year has been one involving considerable change in organization of the Agricultural Curriculum at M.A.T.I. We have shifted from the old system of several Departments in Agriculture to two general classifications. Students in Agriculture now major in either Agricultural Production Technology or Agricultural Service Technology. Agricultural Production Technology is for young men and women that have decided to earn their livelihood in the actual production of Agri- cultural products. From this group will come some of the outstanding New York State farmers and nurserymen of the future. Agricultural Service Technology incorporates the training for those interested in areas of em- ployment closely allied to agricultural production. This large area of opportunity includes Dairy Tech- nology, Agricultural Engineering, Floriculture, Agri- cultural Business, Soil Conservation, and many more similarly related areas. At present approximately half our Agricultural Graduates enter employment in this field of Agricultural Service Technology. We anticipate this will be a fertile field of opportunity in the years immediately ahead. 1.62.
