COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE dealt with problems of increased food production Dean Thomas B. Symons INo PHASE OF THE WORK at thc Uni- versity comes in closer contact with the people of Maryland than that of the College of Agricul- ture which has been especially busy during the last year in cooperation with federal and state agencies in the all-out effort for increased food production. From the standpoint of the student the strength of the College of Agriculture lies in the fact that there is a very close coordination between the in- structional, research, extension, and regulatory kmctions within the various departments. Those who give instruction to the students are closely associated with these various branches of service and in many cases devote a portion of their time to one or more of these activities. This close coordination of instructional, re- search, extension, and regulatory work results in a stronger faculty and a higher degree of speciali- zation than would otherwise be possible.
