SCIENCE CI; )lot W. G. Solheim. botany; Philo F. Hammond, physics; L. Floyd Clark, zoology; and Samuel H. Knight, geology; head up the departments of science at the University. lasses in geology are among the most popu- lar in the science curriculum, being used most often for Liberal Arts Science requirements. Outstanding because all professors in geology have doctor ' s degrees, the geology department rates among the top schools of the country. The museum in the basement contains skele- tons of many prehistoric animals, remains of which were found in the extremely interesting geological formations of the state. Most majors in geology continue study here for their mas- ter ' s degree. The University summer camp specializes in geology in the field. Students from all over the United States attend and explore the beautiful Snowy Range region for practical experiences in geology. I The Science Hall, second oldest University building, has in its basement a fascinating study of Wyoming geological remains. T ASrafl «t §i • 1 i ?: PAGE SIXTEEN

EC. As it applies to the Agricultural College, the word agriculture includes the production of crops and livestock on large or small units. The University offers courses in Animal Production and Agronomy, in range management, dude ranching, soils, wool, grains, and methods of efficient control of farm or ranching conditions. The College also includes pre-courses in vet- erinary medicine and forestry. The bulk of scientific agriculture is taught in the classroom, library and laboratory, but the University also operates an experiment station, an experimental farm, and keeps a large supply of farm and ranch animals available for training in stock judging. In the College of Agriculture students receive training that fits them to enter soil conservation work, the AAA, the FSA, Department of In- terior work under Taylor Grazing, teaching and extension service as well as to enter private farming or ranching. A large staff of trained experts in the various fields instructs and con- duc j research in the department. The Agriculture building, which houses the wool, soils, chemistry, zoology and bacteriology laboratories, the University extension offices and classrooms for scientific agricultural courses. At the Ag farm students receive training in stock judging. Agriculture students study and compare seeds and grains. PAGE FIFTEEN

HALL and KXCpINE HOUSE W )l w v m ' The Engineering College has grown during the past ten years to nearly three times its previous enrollment. About fifty engineers will complete their training on May 15. The faculty consists of more than a dozen engineers with practical backgrounds, as well as theoretical training, all well qualified in their several branches of engineering. The equipment of the college is adequate for thorough training in the funda- mentals of this science with additions being consistently made. The various courses are modified from time to time as new fields develop and as new needs arise. The Engineering College is accredited by the national engineering accrediting agency, and offers standard curricula for the training of men for civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. The University also offers Civilian Pilot Training under the supervision of the Engineering College. HA In the Engineering building are the physics laboratories, the courses in mechanical operations, opportuni- ties for design and construction and operation in training for the field. H. E.
