' If Students of agriculture have a well rounded program. The curriculum is designed to provide them with a general education in addition to the specialized work in a given area of agriculture. Many processes are applied to food from the time it is produced by the farmer until it reaches the consumer. Work in this area has been developed in order to meet the needs of our times. Many of the teachers are also participating in the research or extension program, studying problems affecting agriculture and food production as well as the development of new varieties, processing proce- dures, and the study of economic factors. The green- house facilities dedicated this Fall will extend the scope of research. Dr. Gordon M. Cairns Dr. Leon P. Smith il. Arts ami Mmm The College of Arts and Sciences is prepared to fur- nish the students of the present and future with libera! and teclmical training in the physical sciences, the social studies, the biological sciences, and the humanities.

EiiiiiiiiTriiiii The College of Enginccrint; has two main purposes in mind, to turn out trained young men to practice the profession of engineering, while at the same time equijiping them for their duties as citizens and for careers in public service and in industry. It is only natural that to train top flight profes- sional engineers it is necessary to place great em- phasis on the fundamentals of mathematics, science and engineering so as to establish a broad profes- sional base. A student in the College of Engineering has a variety of fields to choose from; specifically, chemi- cal, aeronautical, civil, and mechanical eni ineerins . Dr. S. S. Steinberg Dean Marie Mount lloiiic E(;iiiiiiiiii(]S The College of Home Economics offers an educa- tional program for both young women and young men, which combines good personal development with education for homemaking and for a livelihood. Two wings have been added to the Home Eco- nomics Building which provide additional space for research in nutrition and textiles. The program is directed toward enriched living with emphasis on art, merchandising, and on crafts, food service and tex- tile teclinology. Students are urged to acquire practical experience in the actual management of the family home, in some professional pha.se of home economics, or both. Nearby high schools, commercial firms and institu- tions provide opportunities for practical experience. 26
