The College of Engineering The College of Engineering under the supervirion of Dean Anderson continues to increase the efficiency of the training given to the students of its various departments. The keen interest of the Dean for his department is felt by all the students. He has often •aid that he is not training engineers but executives; men who will go into the various branches of engi- neering to assume the responsible positions of indus- trial leadership. It is this training which each engi- neer who goes out from the university receives. The College of Law At the head of the Law College stands Judge Lafferty, the friend, guardian and advisor of all his students. The addition of several valuable men to the teaching staff has enabled the college to make lapid progress in the type of training offered. The length of term required for graduation has also been increased and the course now occupies the full four- year period. The Law College has advanced in a manner in keeping with the progress of the entire university. (17)

College of Arts and Science This year the College of Arts and Science ha changed it name and will he known henceforth a The College of Art and Science . Never before in the history of the University has this college been able to give its students a broader and more liberal training than today. The able corps of instructors which was last year strengthened has this year had further additions to its ranks. The two former boys’ dormitories have been re- modeled into recitation building and turned over to the use of the college. Thus the Departments of Zoology. Economics and Sociology. Psychology. Bac- teriology. Botany, Music and Art and Design have been given more room to expand and to still further enlarge their scope of activity. The Little Theatre, situated in White Hall, has. under the auspices of the English Department, performed a real service in stimulating the interest of the community in play giving. This year also students in this college have been given the opportunity of practical work along sociological lines by the addition of Red Cross Courses to the curriculum. The College of Agriculture Under the direction of Dean Cooper the College . of Agriculture has always stood for a broad educa- tional program. This has been accomplished through its Experiment Station, teaching and extension de- partments. It has been his purpose through these agencies to make the agriculture of the state more profitable and the rural conditions more wholesome and attractive . 1 he short courses in Agriculture and Home Economics offered at the University and the movable schools which have been held in various parts of the state have been very successful in bringing the message of scientific agriculture to the farmer himself.
