Teaching may be done by residence work, by extension classes, or by correspondence. No man on receiving his baccalaureate degree is a full-Hedged engineer. In college he has learned foundation principles, and better still, he has learned how to study. He is now in possession of a knowledge of the physical sciences, of mathematics, and of the fundamentals of engineeringg and, with a few years' practice, he can take rank with others of his profession in accordance with ' his ability and his diligence. In lines of research, the Engineering DEAN ULADSON Experiment Station seeks new knowledge, the development of fundamental laws as applied to engineering, and the investi- gation and collection of information which will aid the industries, and will assist in the discovery and development of natural resources. These investigations may even lead to the development or invention of new machines or processes. There is opportunity in the Engineering Experiment Station for students to do practical engineering work under the guidance of skilled engineers, each an expert in his line. This experience is very valuable, and materially aids young engineers. --XV. N. fil,ADSON. ,H illiil Page 25 l

As such, it contains the elements of high adventure, and the promise of lasting satisfaction. Not every 5 student enrolled in the college of liberal arts l in America is conscious of seeking the above ideal aims. But every student, even that one . whose whole apparent interest is centered in the side-shows that surround the gates of every American university, is Hexposedn to that which is true, beautiful, and abiding. ln the laboratories, in the libraries. in the , classrooms, he is brought face to face with I . man's methods of search for the truth and T f with man's conceptions of that which is DEAN jomas beautiful and good. Though the thoughtless student will never attain any real mastery of proper understanding of the world in which he lives, he may catch a few consoling glimpses of truth while he is hurried on in the current of a materialistic and mechanical civilization. The earnest student may find in such surroundings that which will make him an independent thinker, a creator of new forms of beauty, and a force for righteousness in the affairs of men. For him the college of liberal arts chiefly lives, and from him society draws that vigor that enables it to move forward. Training leaders of mankind is the ground upon which the college of liberal arts is justified, even though not all of its products are as cornerstones, polished like '1 yalacef' C 1 'VIRGIL L. joN1ss.

Hli College of Agriculture of the Uni- versity of Arkansas does three things, and its work is divided into three main divisions. Une of these divisions is known as the Agricultural Experiment Station, and its - main object is to discover new facts. Those scientists that belong to the staff of the Station devote their time to solving problems which are beyond the individual farmers and their wives. These problems concern plant and animal diseases, fertilizers, products, marketing. and other problems of the farm and home. In all, the College has approxi- mately thirty-Iive workers associated with the Experiment Station, each official devoting at least a part of his time to ClCl:1l1ltC research A problems. Another division is the college proper- DEAN GRM' this having to do with teaching resident stu- dents. This phase is the one with which the students of the University are most familiar. The college proper deals with resident students, and undertakes to discover and develop new leadership for the rural people of the state. The third division deals with extension work in agriculture and home economics, and consists of nothing but simple teaching. The students are not taught, however, upon our campus and in our classrooms. They are out in the rural districts, and consist of those who, for various reasons, can not come to the University. The function of this faculty is to teach the farm men and women over the state the principle of better farming and better home-making. -DAN T. GllAV. H v'v-'1' ri-ol ' ,gem . L xg I Page 26 X
