COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE During the entire period of economic crisis through which our nation has been passing a “back-to-nature” movement has been steadily increasing. The man who has lost his position has turned to the soil as a means for livelihood. He has realized that food and clothing arc truly the essentials or life. The College of Agriculture is a training school for men and women to learn how to obtain these two basic necessities. A young woman of today can learn how to plan good meals, how to cook them, how to sew, and all the accomplishments so helpful to her. A young man can learn about all the problems that meet one who is interested in earning a living by farming. By acquainting himself with these problems he knows how to prepare to meet them in the best possible manner. Doctor Paul S. Burgess is the head of this growing college. It is divided into five departments: agriculture and home economic education, agricultural chemistry and soils, agricultural engineering, agronomy, and animal husbandry Each department besides giving study, research, formal, and direct instruction in all its various subjects, such as: physics, farm management, breeding, and nutrition, also conducts several courses in advanced research work on special timely problems.

COLLEGE OF PUBLIC, and BUS. ADM. DEAN BROWN This new School of Business and Public Administration was created by the Board of Regents in March, 1934, and went into effect September. Its purpose is to provide more effective university training for students who arc preparing for business or government work. It is a part of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences and is essentially an organization to utilize existing courses offered in many different departments, such as english, psychology, history, political science, economics, sociology, and business administration. Taking these courses and coordinating them into carefully planned curricula, this college provides an important and needed type of training. In making provision for professional training in public administration the University is wisely taking the initiative in preparation for most important public service. With the tremendous increase in government activity during recent years, government employees spend increasingly large proportions of our national income. If these services are to be efficient, if people are to receive adequate returns for taxes paid, these government employees must be efficiently trained. The new school, under the able direction of Dr. E. J. Brown, offers four years of university training leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Page 21
