From Cornfield to Classroom Agriculture strongly influ- ences everyday life in northwest Missouri. The University Farm, north of campus, reminds us daily of the rural environ- ment making our Universi- ty a little bit country. Some of us are used to fresh air, while others find it an invigorating change from the city ' s atmosphere. The skyline is not silhouetted with skyscrapers, but rath- er with grain elevators and silos. Rodeos, square dances, livestock contests and hayrides are frequent events that clearly make this rural area a special one. RIGHT AND CLOCKWISE The sun rises behind the Administra- tion Building. HOURS LATER, the sun sets west of town. The view is from the Maryville Country Club. AGRICULTURE is evident on the outskirts of campus as seen from 2,000 feet above Maryville in an Aeronaca Champ COWS are plentiful on the University Farm. Agriculture majors gain farming experience working with animals. AN AGRICULTURE CLUB meet- ing represents the country side of NWMSU students. 8 INTRODUCTION
