At the head of each is a dean who has general supervision of the work of his department. They plan and co-ordinate the work and are responsible for the successful op eration of their division. They advise students as to what courses they are best fitted for and on many other problems which arise in relation to their courses. ARTS AND SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest department of Rutgers University. It formed the basis of the college at its foundation in 1766. Its chief function is the offering of a general cur- riculum. It also offers pre-legal, pre-medical, and pre-theological curricula, as well as courses in eco- nomics, chemistry, and journalism. A.B., M.S. and I.itt.B. are the degrees given. ENGINEERING The College of Engineering was established at Rutgers in 1865. Its chief purpose is to train men for professional work in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, and Municipal and Sanitary Engineer- ing. A degree of B.S. in the field pursued is conferred at graduation. AGRICULTURE The College of Agriculture was also established in 1865. It prepares men for work in agricul- tural fields. Its most valuable work has been done in the field of research and experimentation Besides a general course, courses in Dairy Husbandry, Dairy Manufactures, Entomology, Floriculture, Landscape Gardening, Pomology, Poultry Husbandry, and Vegetable Gardening are offered, and a degree of B.S. in Agriculture is awarded those who successfully complete any of the oirricula. EDUCATION The School of Education began its work in 1923. Its main purpose is the preparation of men or reaching positions in secondary high schools throughout the state.

BUSCH, '15, Secretary and Treamrer The Alumni Association of Rutgers College, Inc., is one of the oldest of its kind in the United States, having had a continuous existence since july, 1833, and having received incorporation by the State Legislature in 1874. Its chief purpose is to be of service to Rutgers and to Rutgers alumni. It attempts to retain the contact between the college and its graduates. The work is carried on mainly by its Secretary and Treasurer, Arthur C. Busch, 115. It supports itself through dues from its mem- bers. Five trustees are chosen by them for five-year terms. Annual dinners have been held at every commencement since 1850. Over forty of the portraits in Kirkpatrick Chapel were obtained through the organization's efforts. It has been active in the establishment of endowment funds and insur- ance by graduating classes, and has thus brought much money to the University. The Secretary keeps complete records of all former students, compiling information as to residence, business, marriage, chil- dren, death, and other matters. It publishes the Ru-tgers Alumni Monthly and is active in all commence- ment and class reunion activities as well as in those of the fifteen sectional branches. A print shop is run which does work at cost for various clubs and faculty members. Messages of sympathy are sent to relatives on the death of any Rutgers graduate. The Association has lately financed and .directed a campaign to better inform its former students and the people of New jersey concerning the status of Rutgers as the State University of New jersey, its services, needs, and the benefit to the State to be realized by its expansion. This organization in its work administers to over four thousand living alumni, who reside in 947 different cities in forty-four of the United States and in several foreign countries.
