COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ri HE popularity of the College of Agriculture X is shown by its enrollment, which is the third highest in the United States. Back in 1873, the chief occupation of the state of Ohio was farming. So the first name of Ohio State University was the Ohio Agriculture and Mechanical College. Since that early date the Col- lege has had a two-fold function: to provide for students the finest possible technical training, and to give assistance to the farmers of Ohio. Any inquiry directed to the College of Agricul- ture will bring the farmer information and expert advice on any problem. JOHN CUNNINGHAM Dean BLANI LYMAN JACKSON Junior Dean The Agricultural student has broad fields for practical experience in a very literal sense, since 900 acres are provided for this purpose. The College cooperates with the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station at Wooster in carrying on experimental work. The College of Agriculture is housed in Towns- hend Hall, so named in honor of the first profes- sor of Agriculture at Ohio State University. The Home Economics department is under the admin- istration of this College.

The object of this new curriculum is to enable a student to fol- low his academic interests for two years in order to locate the field in which he wishes to specialize.
