PHARMACY The Pharmacy School offers two courses. The Three-Year Course leads to the degree of pharmaceu- tical chemist and is planned primarily for those who wish to enter retail pharmacy. The course gives a thorough grounding in the professional subjects neces- sary to competent dispensing of medicines and a com- prehensive training in commercial pharmacy. Those students who wish to enter medicine may, by proper substitutions and selection of electives. secure the necessary premedical training and also the professional pharmacy training in three years, thus securing the Ph.C. degree and, at the same time, completing pre- medical training. Little or no training in commercial pharmacy is given the premedical students as these subjects are substituted by mathematics. physics. modern languages, etc., that are necessary for entrance to medicine. The Four-Year Course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and is planned for those who wish to more thoroughly prepare themselves for professional pharmacy or for such laboratory positions as chemists, bacteriologists, public health workers, etc.. This course includes a con- siderable number of cultural subjects such as mathematics. modern languages, physics. history. economics, etc.. By the proper selection of electives a student may secure his premedical training While completing the BS. course. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Purdue is one of the pioneer institutions in chemical engineering in the Cnited States. ln the interim since the foundation of Chemical Engineering at Purdue seventeen years ago, this branch of engineering has assumed a commanding position , in the life of the nation. This position of importance will increase in the next generation. Improvements in production methods in this field have equalled, in many cases outstripped those along mechanical lines, particularly in the United States, which is now, due to intensive application of engineering methods, in a paramount position in the field of chemical technology. Chemical Engineering at Purdue is designed primarily to fit its graduates for the control of pro- duction processes. The broad and comprehensive train- ing necessary for this end likewise has proven to consti- tute first class training for those having research ability. Purdue graduates in Chemical Engineering now number over .g.oo. As a fair measure of the success of the School in accomplishing its objectives, it may be pertinent to refer to the unusually high proportion of its graduates who have risen in a comparatively brief period of time to positions of prominence in their PROF.

SCIENCE Science is the foundation for all technical work. Agriculture and all branches of engineering have their foundations in such subjects as Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Biology. Therefore, what the students of Purdue accomplish in their chosen field is very largely influenced by what they do in the sub- jects which are taught in the School of Science. In addition, a-certain amount of cultural Work is required of all students in Purdue. English. History, Modern Language, etc. add to our general knowledge and our appreciation of other phases of accomplish- ment in the world that are not covered by purely technical lines of endeavor. If a student prefers to teach. adequate preparation can be obtained with the cooperation of the Depart- ment of Education. If he prefers business there are courses given which will help him in his chosen profes- sion. If he desires to delve into the mysteries of nature and specialize along research lines there is abundant DEAN B- NI- KIOURE opportunity at Purdue for him to get the necessary training. All technical research has a scientific basis and therefore all material improvements which affect our comfort and happiness are largely based either directly or indirectly on scientific training and research. AGRICULTURE The School of Agriculture is a training ground for any boy directly interested in farming or its related fields. i lt seeks to give its students basic information in Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Chemistry, Agri- cultural lfconomics. i-'Xgrono1ny, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry. Entomology, Farm lVlanagement, Forestry, Horticulture, Floriculture and Poultry. The broadness of the agricultural training is shown in the work given in the various sciences. Botany. Zoology. Chemistry and Physics, which are funda- mental to agriculture. The cultural side of life is I1Ot neglected in the agricultural curriculum and instruction is presented in English, History, Literature. Education. Economics. lVlathematics and Languages, so that the agricultural graduate has not only been given practical basic information in his chosen field. but also has the opportunity of acquainting hmself with those subjects which make possible the enjoyment of the better things of lifefin a word. cultural advantages which give life a richer and broader outlook to the individual.

MILITARY H O M E DEAN Xl. I.. KIATTIIEXYS ECONOMICS The profession of homemaking involves live jobs in one and the mother who is a successful wife and mother must be a financier, a general, a diplomat, an artist and a poet. Homemaking is the biggest job in the world and it is the one in which most women engage at some time in their lives. Because of the complex problems and exacting duties involved in homernaking, it is now the belief that women need training for this work. Such training combines the teclmical. scientific and aesthetic phases of house- keeping with its broader phases-the creation of surroundings both in the home and in the community which make for happy, helpful living. I-Iome Economics courses were first offered at Purdue University in IQO5. At the present time there are over live hundred students enrolled in these courses. All of the larger and many of the smaller institutions which women attend, offer such subjects, it being the belief that Home Economics training is of value to all young women. Certainly nothing could be more cultural or more practical than learning how to make a successful home-one which expresses cheerfulness, hospitality, beauty, love, loyalty. honesty and fairness. SCIENCE AND TACTICS Being a soldier, the memories that must ever be of The Corps. I uppermost in my mind are those came with the Class of 1928, even as I leave with it, hoping that they may accept me as a sort of classmate. We found a great Corps when we came, new and green as we all were. uve have watched it grow and succeed, and like to think that we have helped, at least we tried, and gave our best. It may seem to those who remain to carry on at the Graduation Review that our departure leaves a void, but not so. The Corps is a living organization, dependent upon every individual in it, and yet not one of those individuals is indispensable or even neeessaryg otherwise it could not be great. The traditions of The Corps are the deeds of those who have gone before, it is upon these deeds that those who come tomorrow can build higher and better. It is my studied opinion that The Corps of today only approximates the full development of which it is ca- pableg the foundations have been laid, solidly I hope, but the full measure of realization is yet to come. 28 -Kill ac I.1EL'T.
