Starting with matter-of-fact instruction in farm practices, the scheme of education in the College of Agriculture has broadened and deepened until today it embraces the essentials of the social sciences as well as the natural sciences. Anyone receiving a degree in the College of Agriculture may be regarded as having enjoyed the benefits of a program of instruction that is broad as well as specific. The work of the College may be described as being a program of the sciences that have a direct bearing on the vocation that we call agriculture. The College of Agriculture includes the School of Home Economics. Thus are brought together in the same college young men and young women who are interested in the fundamental practical arts. This is also one reason why the social side of general college life is so well developed in the College of Agriculture. In fact, the coliege administration emphasizes the importance of general organization and social activity as a part of coliege training. Ag college courses offer instruction in the more liberal fields as well as special and technical training in the various branches of agriculture. They form a broad foundation for specialized training. The college covers a multitude of fields, as may be ascertained from a glance at the departments it includes: Agricultural Education, which prepares vocational agriculture teachers for rural high school; Agricultural chemistry, a field which is becoming increasingly important with the development of more efficient farming methods; Agricultural engineering; agronomy, the study of soi's and their man- agement, animal husbandry, resulting in the la fing with thomerand siatoreereCallcass) beautiful animals found on modern farms; the Ag student receives practical training Botany, dairy technology, horticulture and in modern farm and dairy methods.
