Publications Th e Publications Depart- ment is the outlet of the College which conveys to people of the state the bene- fits of educational and eX- perimental research W 0 r k being done by the institu- tion. By maintaining close cooperation with newspapers and radio stations this de- partment has regular and effective means of reaching residents in all parts of the state with news and information. W. C. PALMER Newspaper publicity, radio programs, bulletins and circulars, and visual material prepared and distributed by the Publications Depart- ment multiplies the results of the Work being done by the College, and increases the recognition the institution earns for practical service. The department maintains a regular news service for the dissemi- nation of news and information to all newspapers in North Dakota and to all of the principal newspapers in this region. All activities of the College are covered, even down to furnishing folks back home with news on individual student activities. Radio programs are presented by the College over every radio station in tne state. These include programs daily direct from the de- partment over the two main stations. Direct leased wire is maintained from the campus to permit broadcast of news, information and student activities. An electrical transcribing system enables the department to furnish interesting and effective radio programs to these stations. Bulletins, circulars and other printed materials are prepared and released by the Publications Department. Thousands of such publica- tions are issued annually. Visual material such as films and slides are assem- bled and released to organi- zations and individuals. Many of the most im- portant public relations of the College are conducted by the Publications Department, and it is thru such activities as mentioned, and others, that the College is continu- ing to stand high in point of service to the people of North Dakota.

DR. WALTER LEE AIRHEART Fargo School oi Religious Education During the last six years sixty percent of each class graduating from the North Dakota Agricultural College has taken part of their Work accredited toward graduation in the School of Religious Education. This year a new building was completed and religion is now being taught in a modern brick building facing Ceres Hall. Dr. Walter Lee Airheart, the director of the school, has been in charge since its establishment by Wesley College in 1921. Holding the following advanced degrees, M.A. from Wesley College, B.D. from Garret, Ph.D. from the University of North Dakota, and the honorary degree of D.D. from Wesley College, Dr. Airheart is thoroughly trained for this work. The purpose of the school is to interpret the fundamentals of religion in terms readily understood by the college student so as to preserve the religious values which the experiences of our fathers have proved to be true values. The Work is based on grounds common to all types of faith represented in the student body and in keeping with a common purpose. Page 20

Student Health DR. WILLIAM STAFNE During the year 1935-1936 only 29 out of 1500 students were ill with contagious diseases. These figures, alone, show the efficiency of the health office on the North Dakota State College Campus. A record of this kind is only possible when there is cooperation between the students and the health authorities. The college doctor and nurse made 308 visits and vaccinated 389 persons during the year 1935-1936. Besides administering to the sick and giving vaccinations the physician and nurse give special blood tests, tuberculin tests, and take throat cultures. In this Work they are aided by the bacteriology de- partment. Organized medical supervision is carried on by a board composed of Dean Dinan, Dean Smith, Professors C. I. Nelson, C. C. Finnegan, A. D. Whedon, Dr. William Stafne, and the school nurse. Miss Esther Wendland, for- mer nurse, a s sis tin g with typhoid inocuiations f 0 1' t li e military department. ESTHER WENDLAND Page 27
