Through all of these, however, it preserves its central and traditional pur- iuf .rf pose, that of adequately representing the in- tellectual life in all of its great phases and of lilififlll ff silk. suffix 1 1 offering to the student access to the learn- ing of his race. About this primary purpose cluster many other secondary ones whose nature, number, and importance change with the years. Some of them are very partially expressed, some now find expression in 4 definite courses of study, and some will doubtless develop into new schools or col- : leges, as medicine did. Through all of these changes, in keeping the old and accepting C the new, in adding this course and giving ' separate existence to that, the College will ' remain the most central and highest expres- sion of that intellectual life and vigor of the community which produced and maintains the state university. As it embodies and fosters that life, it becomes also the mother of the new and concrete forms in which that life takes new expression. I 3 The . College of Agriculture ff' 't'N 'N Dean H. L. Russell Pain' 5 OLLEGES of agriculture . are now undergoing rapid il X transformations. With the , . establishment of the experi- Q ment stations, the emphasis if - ' F of these institutions was I on agricultural research, but R the last decade has witnessed , an influx of students into M the distinctively university yi courses that has been quite Ft-1, .N a,:. s phenomenal. In 1900 this Agricultural College had ten students in the four-year Long Course, 1 this year there were over 5001 In addition there are 100 students in the two-year Middle Course, having the same entrance qualifica- l- tions, and 160 women in Home Economics. l Fifty students are now in graduate work. The last year has witnessed the strengthen- . ing of the curriculum of both the Long and Middle Courses. Chemistry has been in- attention should be given the business end of farming and the social problems of rural life. Agriculture has become so thoroughly specialized that no one department con- cerned -with production looks upon the farm as a unit, as a business problem. The organization of economic and sociologi- cal departments in agricultural colleges in direct and intimate contact with depart- ments concerned with production, has been a most important recent :advance of this College. Farm management is essentially the business end of farming. During the last year the work in agricultural economics has been still further expanded through the addition of a chair on marketing and dis- tribution. This will also embrace the subject of cooperation. Another important advance has been the organization of work in forestry. It is not the purpose to develop a school of professional forestry for the training of forest engineers, but to train men for the practical work of forest management. The work of the forest rangers course will be given during the winter at the University, but from April until October inclusive, the students will be in the woods, carrying on during the summer the detailed operations of nursery planting, building roads, telephone lines, fire lines, lookout towers, and all the detailed work of the ranger. Courses in woodlot management will be offered to agri- cultural students this coming year. A most important function of the agricul- tural college is the agricultural extension service, through which the results of scientific inquiry are carried directly to the man on the farm. Two new features of significance have been added this past year: 1. Educational trains, with some specific purpose in view, such as seed improvement, potato culture, or live stock development, were run in cooperation with the railroads and various state organizations, reaching over 32,000 farmers in over 100 meetings. 2. The establishment of a system of resident representatives of the Agricultural College staff in the various counties was begun, four counties now being organized.

Of these, seventy-five are en- rolled specifically at the School of Music, while 345 students from other schools and colleges of the University elect music courses for cultural rather than professional pur- poses. The faculty of the School consists of fourteen members. According to the latest compiled data, the collective number of students in diversified musical activities, may be stated as follows: Theoretical Branches, 254, Applied Music, 137, Musical Organiza- tions, 3413 Musical Drarnatics, etc., 186, making a. total of 918, some names being necessarily counted more than once. There is practical illustration that the School of Music has benefited in every way by the abolition, four years ago, of the preparatory course, by restricting music Students to the general entrance require- ments for admission to the University, by lengthening the course of study leading to the degree of graduate in music from three to four years, and the supervisors' course from one year to two years. The four-year course, as now developed, lays emphasis upon literature and languages. The two- year course is primarily professional, especially suited to the needs of students intending to teach in the public schools of the state. During the present year, six concerts were held in the Artists' Series, both' the Choral Union and the University Orchestra Cooperate-d at two of these concerts. The faculty of the School of Music gave thirteen free lecture-recitals on Sunday afternoons. The performances of the two bands are among the most important at the University, since they appeariannually no less than fifty times, in the concert hall, at dress parade, and at athletic contests. The Men's Glee Club have this year undertaken three separate series of out-of-town engagements. The Girls' Glee Club has followed the precedent established The Medical School Dean C. R. Bardeen, M. D. 7 HE Medical School, estab- lished by the legislature in - 1907, opened this year with an enrollment of sixty-five students, a gain of eight over last year. At least two years of college work along , special lines, including physics, chemistry and biology, are required for admission to the school. If the premedical students were counted as medical students, as the students of the first two years in agriculture and engineering are counted as agricultural and engineering students, the number of medical students at the University would be nearly one hundred and fifty. The University does not give the last two years of the medical course, but students from Wisconsin are given full credit for work done here at the best medical schools in the country. Of the one hundred and twenty- ive medical schools in this country, twenty- five are rated in the A class by the Council on Medical Education of the American Association. Wisconsin is one of the two schools in the A class which give but two years of the medical course. Students who take the two years of the medical course at Wisconsin go chiefly to the Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Columbia, N. Y., Northwestern, and Rush to complete their medical work.
