The courses are so arranged as to permit the students to obtain a general knowledge of home-making and its problems, or to specialize along one of three lines: food and dietetics, clothing and millinery, and teacher training work. Each student who chooses the teacher training group is granted a Smith Hughes Certilicate upon graduation. There is a splendid faculty in Home Economics, having as its supervisor Professor Edith Pierson. The department is well equipped, better than like departments in many much larger institutions. Connected with the department is an up-to-date practice cottage, well equipped. so well in fact that there is a Practice Baby. Each student is required to reside in the cottage for a period of twelve weeks. The department is one of the biggest and best on the hill, and one of which every one at State College is extremely proud. LAVRA J. MuAll'l'IIlTR, li.

My M- CLNCVD o doo DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Since its inception in 1888, this department has so increased that it has expanded from a one-room division of the College to one occupying an entire building of twenty- Iive rooms, and still finds itself in need of more lioor space. From two courses in elementary chemistry, its offerings have increased to a schedule of eighteen separate courses of study. In addition to the regular undergraduate courses, which are catalogued as the work of the department, opportunity is presented to advanced students for graduate work along lines ot' research which naturally suggest themselves as related to the basic chemical investigations which aim to serve a state whose industries are so largely agri- cultural as are those of South Dakota. Among the later additions to the depart1nent's offerings are to be mentioned in particular an increased stress which has been laid upon Organic, Physical, Physiological and Agricultural Chemistry. N Connected with the College Department and occupying a suite of rooms in the Chemistry Building, is the Chemical Division of the Experiment Station, where research work upon problems in co-operation with that of the Federal authorities is carried on. This close co-ordination of College and Station offers opportunity for Hrst-hand ex- perience on the part of students so desiring it, along lines which fit them for positions as station chemists in the various state analytical bureaus, and many of our graduates have secured positions of trust and importance in this field. During the past year, the department has enrolled approximately three hundred students. O i var 0 XQfjuS0Uffz Dakota QU Q Stare Coffege J
