The College of Agriculture is the oldest college on the Maryland campus, as it is an outgrowth of the old Maryland Agricultural College which was established here in 1856. Projected as the second school of agriculture in the country, it has grown steadily through- out the years and maintains its rank as a leader in the field. This year saw considerable change in the faculty set-up of the College of Agriculture. Acting Dean Thomas B. Symons Acting Director of the Experiment Station, J. E. Metzger Assistant Dean H. F.

Dr. Thomas B. Symons, Director of the Exten- sion Service, was named Acting Dean of the College and Dr. H. F. Cotterman, former Pro- fessor of Agricultural Education, was ap- pointed Assistant Dean. Professor J. E. Metz- Observation in a greenhouse ger was made Director of the Experiment Station. In many respects the work of the College of Agriculture differs from that of other col- leges of the University. The scope of its ac- tivities embraces a fourfold program, which includes resident instruction, research, ex- tension and regulatory functions. Resident instruction is concerned with classroom activities at College Park. The fundamentals of good agriculture are pre- sented by instructors who are constantly sup- plementing their knowledge through research and study. In this way the student is certain to secure the benefits of up-to-date investi- gation along with the established principles of agricultural theory. The courses for resi- dent instruction are designed to provide trained personnel for agriculture and allie d industries. This phase of the work comes very largely under the supervision of Dr. Cotterman. Extra-curricular activities play a large part in the life of the agricultural student. The new Agricultural Student Council, a delegate body representing various student organiza- tions, assists in bringing about a closer co ordination between faculty and student body. Organizations which come under the super- vision of the Council are Alpha Zeta, Student Grange, Livestock Club, Future Farmers of America, Bacteriology Club, and the Agri- cultural Economics Society. Judging teams representing the University this year in livestock, dairy cattle, dairy prod- ucts and poultry were unusually successful in intercollegiate competition. This was espe- cially true of the Dairy Cattle Judging Team, which won the Collegiate Judging Contest in the Eastern States Exposition at Springfield, Massachusetts, and led the country in judg- ing Guernsey cattle at the National Dairy Show in Cleveland. Work on the various judging teams is considered of great value in AGRICULTURE FACULTY— Back row: Moran, Carrington, England, Ballard, Barker, Knight, Shaw, Poelma, Woods, Bamford, Rofhgeb, Black, Stabler, Holmes, Eppley, Williams, Oldenburg, White, Conover, Burdette, Walker, Magruder, Bogue, Bartram, Vial, Kemp, Lincoln, Posey, Hamilton, Downey, Bland- ford, Poffenberger, Worthington, Woods, Thomas, Brueckner, Taliaferro, Jenkins, Meade, Thurston, Reed, Chase, DeVault, Vierheller, Norton, Burkhardt, Ingham, Carpenter, DeVolt, Teeter, Langford, Madigan, Quigley, Berry, Walker, Ikeler, Abrams, Hughes, Coddington, Jenkins, Hunter, Snyder, Walls, Jehle, McPheeters, Ditman, Brown, Emerson Front row: Evans, Krewatch, Nystrom, Cory, Jull, Symons, Keller, Byrd, Patterson, Cotterman, Metzger, Oswald, Appleman, Shoemaker, Temple, Schrader
