w .-Jt - SCHOOL OF EDUCATION HE following facts indicate something of the rrowth ot this work in the last seven years: Com- paring the year of 1920-21 with the present year there has been an increase in the luimber of normal students from 2 5 to 7 7, or 2()(S per cent. The Seniors have in- creased from 1 7 to 62, or 329 per cent. The total enroll- ment of the University has increased from 726 to 1000 — an increase of .IH per cent. In the first year nine per cent of all students were students in education. Now it is 21 per cent. Seven years ago six per cent of our stu- tlents were men. At present 18 per cent are men. Sixty per cent of the students elected to Phi Kappa Phi in these seven years were te.ichers, indicating the quality of student in education and the quality of service the school is render- ing tlie state. That the state is recognizing this is shown by the relati ' e ease with which the appointment committee is able to place the increasing number of candidates. While this growth reflects the University growth as a whole, it is gratifying that the School of Ediication has not ilropped behintl. JOHN WILLIAM HALL Dean — John William Hall. Top Row — Benson D.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE new stiuk ' iit in his new en ' ir()nment, and to help him av,;id the machine-like methods of education which iia e been forced up .n some of our large universities. In the main, while recognizing that education may hec-me too thin if spread over too many subjects, yet the c )llege offerings are cultural and give little oppor- tunity to the specialist who wishes to learn more and more about less and less. Likewise, we cannot properly pro ' ide for those students who view a college course merely as a business asset and eagerly elect only those courses of study which seem to lead to a salaried position in the marts of trade. We do not plan to graduate super-Babbitts. On the other hand we do strive to graduate men with cultixated minds, spiritual percep- tion, philosophic temper, and with fitness and capacity to function as citizens in a democracy. We cannot offer everything to everybody who comes. We can offer a definite kind of development to a coherent body of students fitted by nature and training to receive it. Plato ' s idea still holds. There is a certain kind of knowledge which, if you possess it, makes you not a stranger in regions strange to you. — Maxwell Adams. iH S Top Rc,v — Edwin DuL-rr, F. C. Muigdtten, Gci.rpc W. Sens, A.

Tl-rC JiJ i- COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE e Xsi £X5»-M (O) HE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE has grad- - uated sixty-three men and thirty-seven women since its organizatidn, and these graduates are playing an im- portant part in the life of this and other states. The college has participated in a modest wa ' in the growth of the University during the past few vears, this year there heing thirty-four men and thirt ' -four women in the col- lege. The entering Freshman class is considerahly larger this year than last. Last year there were three men and twelve women in the Freshman class, while this ' ear there are ten meii and fourteen women. This probably indicates a steady growth of the college in the future. Five men and one woman will be graduated in May, 1928. Special students from outside the state are now admitted to the college under certain conditions. Entrance requirements have been adjusted in a satisfactorily manner and the ciu ' riculum modernized so as to permit a wider choice of subjects by the student. This permits students who have very diiferent objectives in mind to obtain the kind of work which will be of most value to them. — Robert Stewart. ROBERT STEWART Dean Top Row — S;ir;!li L. Lewis, W.
