College of Agriculture The business c farming requires a varied and wide range of knowledge. However, some branches are highly spe- cialized. The courses offered in the Col- lege of Agriculture aim to meet these requirements and conditions. The gen- eral and elective courses enable the stud- ent to specialize and prepare for any sphere of activity he may desire to fol- low. There is a demand for men and women well trained in the science and application of agriculture, as farmers, farm managers, teachers, investigators, and in industrial and commercial activities related to farming. The graduates of the past ten years are occupying over fifty different kinds of positions in these fields. The College of Agriculture gives a broad and liberal training and enables the cjuntry reared boy or girl to capitalize on their sixteen to twentv years of life in the country. The courses in the College of Agriculture are well suited to the student who lias not found himself or decided upon his life ' s work. Harry J. Patterson, D.Sc. Diau Schmidt.

College of Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences embraces so great a variety of courses that is impossible, in a few words, to do other than sketch in a hazy outline of its function. Between Liberal Arts, so called originally because open only to Roman freemen, and Science, defined as knowl- edge reduced to law and embodied in system, there is a great mass of learning of which the component parts may be classed as Science or as Art according to one ' s point of view. This defining of the proper location of subject may well be left to others for it will not in any way affect the function of this College, since it is well defined and clear cut. It is two-fold in character. On the one hand the College must serve the needs of students of other Colleges in certain basic subjects. On the other hand the demand for basic subjects and for more advanced training, which will promote their vocational, avocational and cultural welfare. Thomas H.
