Shutak SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE Rhode Island State College, originally founded as a land-grant college under provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862 and the Hatch Act of 1887, offered agriculture as its first course. The School of Agriculture provides agricultural training for young people of the state, conducts research of value to every resident and home-owner of the state as well as to the farmer, and disseminates this research information through local farm bureaus to the citizens of Rhode Island. Students in the agricultural curriculum are aided in their training by the many acres of land devoted to the production of crops. The col- lege dairy herds afford the student of animal hus- bandry the opportunity to gain practical experi- ence in that field. At East Farm the department runs its own poultry farm along with extensive orchards. Greenhouses and experimental plots of land arc available for agronomy courses and classes in horticulture. The graduate of the School of Agriculture is qualified to enter the field of research, to conduct a farm or a business related to farming, and to instruct others in agricultural pursuits. 16

Lees SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The School of Business offers several curricula : Accounting and Business Law, Marketing and Advertising, Insurance, Industrial Management, Secretarial Studies, and General Administration. The Accounting option prepares the student for specialized training and practice in the use of modern accounting methods. Many of the gradu- ates of this curriculum go on to take a certificate as a Certified Public Accountant. The Marketing and Advertising option prepares the student in the ever-widening fields of wholesaling and re- tailing, as well as the newer, but equally popular, advertising field. The Insurance option is to pro- vide a broad background of business education with professional training in insurance. The aim of the Industrial Management curriculum is to furnish students with a knowledge of planning and control both in the office and in the factory. It also trains him for work in the field of indus- trial relations. Students in the School of Business Administration are urged to take courses in the natural and social sciences in order to supple- ment the specialized business courses.
