AGRICULTURE A planter ' s son who enrolled in the College of Agricul- ture in 1856 would never recognize the changes that have occured in in agricultural professions since that time. Agriculture is now more synonymous with food than with farming, said Dean Gordon Cairns. Modem agricul- ture involves studying the relationship of population to natural resources, the efficient use of technology and natural resources in food production, and the impact of urbaniza- tion on rural life and the development of rural communities. The new dimensions of agriculture are shown in the professions entered by graduates of the college. Only 5-10% of the college ' s students go into farming, while the majority enter such diverse fields as private industry, gov- ernment, education aand research. Unlike the auricula of the University ' s other profession- ally oriented colleges, the agriculture curricula are not aimed at preparing students for employment only in fields related to agriculture. Degrees in botany, entomology and pre-theology, be- sides that of agricultural engineering, may also be obtained by pursuing various other lines of study o£Fered within the College of Agriculture.
