At that time there were few teachers' collegesg now they are to be found in practically every state university in our country. Our Teachers College began in a modest wayg but fortunately there was estab- lished at the same time a high school to serve as a laboratory for giving actual practise in teaching. The establishment of the high school reflects the wisdom of those who planned the new collegeg for a teachers college without a training school would be on a par with a department of chemistry without a laboratory. C Teachers College trains teachers not only for every department of high school work but for all grades in the elementary schools, including the kindergarten. No higher service can be rendered than the preparation of teachers who train the youth of the State. Teachers College exists solely for the purpose of rendering this service. Its field is the public schoolg its aim is to furnish for the schools of Nebraska an increasing number of earnest, well pre- pared teachers to the end that better educational opportunities may be provided and a high standard of citizenship obtain.

'U?mzS5?Qg. W5V4a9iW574-n.'q5V 9gW 'vfAiav4mhgwr College of Dentistry X, f 4 Dean George Albert Grubb Dentistry and State George A. Grubb A discussion of the relation of the College of Dentistry to the State must necessarily be based upon a consideration of the relation of the finished product, the graduate dentist, to the community which he serves. Theeconomists hold that his excuse for existence is his ability to make his community happier and healthierg that this group of individuals whom he serves may the better con- tribute to the production of those things which humanity desires. To be eligible to take the examination for a dental license, the State demands certain minimum preparations. Educational Institutions are and should be leaders in this instruction. They will do more than live up to mere requirements. Sensing the situation, Nebraska is offer- ing a five-year course. To what end ?-With the coming of the knowledge that such a large per cent of bodily ills are due to mouth defects, dental education is trying to shoulder her re- sponsibilities by taking her place beside Medicine. The next big forward movement in dentistry is taking the form of prevention of dental defects. That will require trained thinkers. Upon this premise, rests the foundation of the relation of the College of Dentistry to the State. The aim of the College will therefore be to equip its graduates with the know- ledge and those ideals of manhood that will enable them to render a service to humanity at a reasonable fee, a service which will meet the approval of the Economists and the indi- viduals Who compose the State. Relationship is at least two sided. A consideration of it will not be complete without viewing it from the other sideg the relation of the State to the College of Dentistry. The aims and what is expected of the College have been presented in preceding paragraphs. To meet this goal, the State must provide an adequate physical plant. The College of Dentistry is in a rented building in the heart of the business center of Lincoln. The State should provide a new and modern building on the campus. Then and only then can the College fulhll its mission to the State. 33 M-I Em' 1 AdX-I 541253 fill- I

,,qf565?1mg?m,z ' mevi-F1 QQ?,j ,, mqaps sq? College of Agriculture ff Dean Edgar Albert Burnett Agriculture and State E. AV. Burnet! Fifty years ago, in 1872, the College of Agriculture was established. During the early years there were often no studentsg there were crop failures and financial panics far more alarming to the young Nebraska than any depressions of today. Then the institution strug- gled for its existence. But out of all these early struggles has grown the College of the present. The College of Agriculture differs from many colleges of agriculture in that it is not an institution by itselfg instead it is one of the integral parts of the greater University of Ne- braska. The College also differs from the other colleges of the University in that it has its own campus, on the outskirts of Lincoln, and, as provided by law, maintains certain lines of investigation as well as an intimate and personal contact with the farmers of the State. MO1'C than 1,200 students each year attend the College of Agriculture at Lincoln, the School of Agriculture at Lincoln, or the School of Agriculture at Curtis, for which the Col- lege provides from its own funds. The College considers itself fortunate that it is able to offer students all the advantages of the small college, with its intimate contact between students and a campus of its own, together with the added advantage of a large University of which it is a part. The Farmer's Institutes and sugar beet experiments of the 70's have developed into the Agricultural Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station of the present day. Through its resident instruction, the College of Agriculture develops leaders in agricultural thought, through the Extension Service it carries the message of better farming to every corner of the State. Through the Experiment Station it looks forward to solving the new farming problems of Nebraska. With a background of Hfty years of development and experience, the College of Agri- culture looks forward to Fifty years of growth and service. In its instruction, its experiments, and its extension work, it aims to anticipate the future. 4m'VQi!W4 4exWmx'V4E?1e5EV4mY02sL.'W4'i'W4ei'T41FfV4a.J
