Dean Edward John Iddings THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The College of Agriculture is not only adequately equipped with laboratory and class-room facilities, but has a well- trained and highly efficient faculty. In every field of agricul- ture, the Idaho institution is a recognized leader. The University has 612 acres of land at Moscow with which to work, and in four other places in the state are large experi- mental tracts which total 700 acres. The College of Agricul- ture is one of the divisions of the University separate from the junior college system, for it gives a four-year course which culminates in the degree of B.S.(Agr.). During their first two years all students take the same course and then they may major in almost any of the numerous branches of agriculture. The result is a trained leader for research, for extension, and for many other forms of public activity. The University is particularly fortunate in having Edward John Iddings, M.S., to administer the work of the College of Agriculture. He directs the extension and experimental work with a high effectiveness, and advises both students and faculty members of the College with a fine insight and understanding. Page 26

Dean Martin Fuller Angell THE SENIOR COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE The College of Letters and Science, this year for the first time, is a senior college. In it juniors and seniors specialize in the arts and sciences. The plan of major and minor sub- jects is supplanted by a scheme of curricula, each of which centers in one major subject and its closely correlated matter. Time for the student will be saved, the material cov- ered will be more valuable and the result much more practical. This year a number of sophomores in the University are studying in the Senior College because their requirements are thus more easily met. In the academic year 1931-1932, however, the plan becomes fully operative. The dean of the Senior College of Letters and Science can well be classed as “a man who.” Martin Fuller Angell, Ph.D., has served the University for fifteen years with enthusiasm, quality and distinction.

Dean William Edward Masterson THE COLLEGE OF LAW A great many active lawyers of the state have been “most agreeably surprised” upon investigation of the Law School of the University of Idaho. With an almost entirely new faculty this year, the aim of the school to give a knowledge of the fundamental legal principles and to develop the power of independent legal reasoning and analysis has been realized to a greater degree than ever before. A thorough professional training is what the school gives and it does it in a way that meets with the highest requirements of the American Bar Association and the Association of American Schools. Up to the present time this rating has been given to only a limited number of law schools in America. The minimum curricula covers a period of three school years and gives preparation for the practice of law in any American state. Size and facilities weigh strongly in the school’s favor. Dean William Edward Masterson, M.A., LL.B., $.J.D., LL.D., brings to the Idaho Law School a training and experience far above the ordinary. He became dean this year after serving one year as associate professor of law in the University.
