College of Agriculture The Texas A AA University is the land-grant institution of Texas and as such is charged with responsibility of research and education in all areas of agriculture. Responsibilities of the College of Agriculture thus are broad and extensive in scope. Agriculture extends from the farm to the source of farm supplies, to the rural com¬ munity, through industrial centers where raw materials are processed into finished products and on to the con¬ sumer. New developments in the whole field of agriculture reflect the rapid progress being made through re¬ search and education. The faculty of the College of Agriculture represents a high degree of excellence and breadth of training. Not only do these men possess fine minds thoroughly educated in the agricultural sciences but they have dis¬ tinguished themselves in education as well as scientific research. More than 140 of the faculty in the College of Agriculture working together with students have given Texas, the nation and the world many new ideas which have had far-reaching effects on the agriculture industry, and thus have made a vital contribution to mankind. More than 1,400 young men and women are enrolled in the College of Agriculture preparing themselves for careers in the basic industry of agriculture. This great industry offers a bright future and healthy challenge for those who receive their training at Texas A M. 27

Within the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A AA, degrees can be had in twenty-four different curricula. These curricula can be grouped into broad categories of Liberal Arts, Business Administration, Education and Psy¬ chology, and the Sciences. Each one of these offers the student a liberal education as well as specialization in his chosen field. The number of students pursuing higher education in this school is increasing every year. As a result the various departments are growing stronger year by year. The College of Arts and Sciences has a two-fold purpose: it serves as a partner of the other degree-granting colleges by directing the liberal and scientific education of technical students. It also offers complete courses of study for students specializing in an area of arts or science. 29
