DEPARTMENT QE BICDLQGICAL SCIENCE ffx W. T. GARRETT R. A. KINNAIRD G. CARL SCHOWENGERDT The Biology Division is organized to meet the needs of a varied group of students. It attempts to offer fundamental courses which are standard with other colleges, as well as special work for its own students. Students found in the various courses include those who are majoring in Biologyg those who need it to meet the general requirementsg those who take it for its cultural valueg and a large number who need it for supplementary work in the Departments of Agriculture, Home Economics, Education, Social Science and Psychology. The Division of Agriculture aims to train those students who will teach agriculture in the high schools in the elements of agricultural principles and practices. This division of the department also serves those students who do not plan to teach agriculture, but whose purpose is an acquisition of agricul- tural knowledge which will help make them scientific farmers. An opportunity to see and to study the most modern scientific practices applied in agriculture is afforded the student by the college farm of approxi- mately two hundred acres. llhl i
