The College of Agriculture was provided for by the act of the legislative assembly which established the University in 1885 and was housed, with all other departments, in Old Main Building when classes began in 1891. The chief pur- pose of the College is the training of students in scientitic principles in order to help them improve American agricultural conditions. Courses, in addi- tion to those supplying a broad foundation in the Work, are given for specialized training in one fiield of agriculture and in its teaching. The college has three functions: the instruction of students, the ex- perimental worlc carried 011 in stations established for this purpose throughout the state, and the diffusion of practical information concerning agriculture and home economics among the people of the state. Acting Dean Hawkins graduated from Kansas State University in 1914, then returned to the farm tor three years' practical experience. He holds advanced de- grees trom the Universities of Arizona and Vfisconsin. One ot his primary interests here has been the estab- lishment of the present Aggie House. 14
