The program included all kinds of stock and crop judging; the stock judging contests taking.- 1 place all during the day and the crop judging at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. There were contests in Animal Husbandry. Dairy Husbandry, Poultry. Horticulture, and gronomy. The College of Agriculture aspires to lx- more than an institution for training hay pitchers and stable hands. University teachers, governmental research workers, and agricultural administrators are the products of Dean Dali's stalY. Regular classroom work is not the only function of this college. Important research is carle : on in the live Experiment Stations farm's located in different parts of the slate. The Agricultural Extension department is the most important agency in putting the university l efore the state.

The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences The College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences leads all the other colleges by a wide margin in point of enrollment. Its students arc those who arc seeking a general cultural education rather than one of a technical or professional type.

Since the facilities have been quite limited and in some eases inadequate, the accomplishment of the college is significant of the ability and industry of the man who is most responsible for its progress—Dean Lockwood Dr Lockwood was first connected with the University as head of the English department in 1916. lie was then absent from duty here while serving on tin Army Educational Commission during the war. In 1919 lie returned and organized the extension service. Then, in the following year, he accepted the duties of the dean of the college. He also served for a while as President of the University during the absence of the regular officer. Dr. Lockwood has liecouie known during his years here as a |x pular professor, successful administrator. and a well known author. But now he will no longer act as the dean because of his inclination to devote more time to productive scholarship. Second row—Dean. Hawley. Sliaw. Carpenter, (iraesser. I conard, CreS'C, Leonard.

The College of Mines and Engineering It is quite logical that a state which is extensively devoted to mining and the use of engineering, should support an instifution which ; • adequately and excellently equipped to give the highest type of training to those desiring to enter these fields. Arizona has such an institution in the College qf ines and Engineering Propf pf this fact f rom the outside is shown in .many ways. A large numfiSr of-the graduates ui this college hayebeeu distinctly success fill in their professions after leaving school rrr Rqjr this reason, most of the graduates each year I iind a portion already waiting for them, 'rite office ii the college is continually receiving £ communications from big operators desiring a man for some position (hey have open. The college is uouseti in a building which is mo lcrn in every rcs|»cct. Precision instruments and many machines of every kind are found in this department. Much of the excellent equipment has been donated by companies grateful to the college for the work which is being accomplished in the way of training and DEAN’ HITLER research. 'I'o supplement these facilities of training, is the faculty of the college headed by Dean But ler, who has distinguished himself by his accomplishments, es| ecially that of keeping the standards of the college headed in the general direction, skyward. Under the dean is a group of instructors, each one being proficient and capable in his line of instruction. Arizona lias liecome synononioits with the best in the way of training of men for mining and engineering. It will not l c long ere that famed partizan, Cressv of California, must needs say when the walls and windows of his native habitat quake with apparent trcmhlors. That is merely the Arizona engineers changing the face of the world.” Third row—It. S. Itiitler, Jinnnerson. l oe. Harrow Second row—Sioeynow, Mathew son, Tenney, Hciuentan, Park.
