College of Arts and Sciences are accomplishing results unsurpassed by her sister colleges. She is very fortunate to have in the faculty men who are experts in their field and who are well prepared to teach the subjects belonging to their departments. They are entirely in sympathy with the work of the college and the welfare of the students and residents of the State. The College of Agriculture stands with beckoning hands to every man of scientific or of practical talent. The courses offered are many. First it offers a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. This course involves courses for students specializing in Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, Agriculture, Agricultural Education, Chemistry and General Horticulture. A middle course is given for students who have not time to complete the four-year course. This course emphasizes the practical, technical and scientific problems that confront the farmers of the State and leads to the title of Graduate in Farming. Very Practical one-year and four-months courses are offered to those who have only a working knowledge of the common school branches. To those who do not find it convenient to attend these courses the college offers a ten-day short course which is becoming very popular and attended by large numbers. Correspondence courses are also conducted which reach many people who are unable to attend the institution. Twenty-one
