1922 KENTUCKIAN, The College of Agriculture HE students in the College of Agriculture constitute only approximately twenty per cent of the Class of ’22, but their contribution in spirit of the class has rated among the highest. The activities of the “Ags” and “Home Ecs” have been broader than those relating to the col- lege alone. In any census to determine the personnel of various univer- sity activities our representatives have been found in many positions of leadership and responsibility. In dramatics, athletics, clubs, publica- tions and self-government bodies the College of Agriculture has won a strong place. While a high appreciation that the complete development of a good college depends upon the broadening influences which may be procured from intermural activities, the estimate placed upon class room work is even higher in our college. “Ags” and “Home Ecs” consider our- selves particularly fortunate in being engaged in training for work lhat is a great human need. The purpose of the College of Agriculture in the University of Kentucky is to give instruction in the scientific principles of one of the primary industries. No nation can remain great unless it is properly fed. The greatest contribution any college can make is the training of young men and young women to become efficient citizens and home- makers, skilled by science in the great primary industry of agriculture. To this end, we of the Class of ’22 from the College of Agriculture offer ourselves and what skill we have gained, to be used m the woik of the world. A Senior “Ag.” Page fourteen

DEAN PAUL ANDERSON Tine College of E ngineermg The year 1921-22 marked a change in the College of Engineering. “Little Paul,” the dean, like Elijah of old, was called upon for a still greater work, and upon whom should his mantle fall? Upon whom other than Professor W. E. Freeman, a man he had helped to train, one imbued with the same ideals and principles for which the “Kentucky Engineer” is noted. Therefore, it could hardly be termed a change after all. Service, the epitome of the engineering profession, was still the basic principle taught, and in order to render better that service, necessitated the knowledge of something other than purely technical. Today the engineer has come to deal more with human nature than with the laws of nature. For this reason he can no longer be merely a technician. Now he is dealing with the forces which obey no fixed laws and therefore requires a broader knowledge in order to fulfill better the modern conception of engineering, i. e., the art of organizing and directing men and of controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.
