HE,°llS g4.oIlL1MO o $c£W - txztf mf The College of Agriculture is specifically charged with the responsibility of teaching agriculture to the students who register in the College; with in- vestigating, through its Experiment Station, agricul- tural conditions and problems which are of economic importance to the agriculture of the state; and finally, through its Agricultural Extension Service, with ex- tending its teaching and the results of its research to the farmers throughout the state. Because of this responsibility, the College is brought into very close touch with the people of the state. The relative ease with which the value of its work can be demonstrated has made its work a pop- ular and extremely helpful phase of the University's activities. The agricultural depression of the past two years has had a marked effect upon the registration in the A considerable number of students who would normal- ly register in the College are entering other colleges of the University. This condition will probably continue until the farming business is restored to a normal basis. Every effort is being made to make the several departments in the College meet the urgent demands made upon it not only by its students, but also by the farmers thruout the state. H. W.

i lsi-Z F Dean Chadsey SCHOOL OF EDUCATION It is now an accepted idea that preparation for the profes- sion of teaching should include courses specially designed to secure a knowledge of the methods underlying skillful teach- ing. The College of Education is endeavoring to give this professional background to students of the University who are planning to enter the teaching profession. It not only em- phasizes the necessity and value of technique, but offers a wide variety of courses which furnish to the student the training necessary for supervision and educational administration. The University High School gives opportunity for individua l observation and practice which assists greatly in definitely es- tablishing the scientific technique which should underlie effective teaching. C. E. Chadsey SCHOOL OF MUSIC The School of Music is one of the great opportunities on the campus for the gaining of one of the necessities of life — education in a cultural subject. For the student who matric- ulates in this school a thorough training in general musical knowledge is offered, with special emphasis laid on the partic- ular branch of music in which he wishes to major. For the students from the other Colleges of the University the School of Music affords an opportunity to become acquainted with the best in this great world of art through Appreciation and History courses, concerts, and recitals.
