Cs lege of ty ric lta Te “All agricultural roads lead to Moscow and the University of Idaho.” This statement is not only a presumption of the members of the Col- lege of Agriculture, but is a fact. For many years students have come from their own states to Idaho to enroll in the College of Agriculture under the able guidance of Dean E. J. Iddings. Situated in the heart of one of the largest and best dry-land agricultural districts in the United States, the college gives the student a varied training in the industry that is “the backbone of the nation.” The course is not confined only to the raising of crops, but also includes the study of modern methods of farming and dairy- ing. The college has many divisions, including mechanics, poultry, dairying, agronomy, and all other branches of the agricultural industry. Agriculture is one of the most practical courses in the University. Epwarp Joun Ippincs has always been interested in the problems of agriculture, Before attending Colo- rado Agricultural College, he roughed it on several Colorado ranches. In order to study farms abroad, he worked his way to Europe on a cattle boat after graduation, Since coming to Idaho in 1910, he has been an aid to farmers here. STIIZIIZE K SESSEESE G. oe as Ai — ; School of Ausiness Amintstralion With a depression behind and a brighter fu- ture ahead, the graduates of the School of Busi- ness Administration have already gained prac tical knowledge of great value. This depression has taught everyone the need of sound business principles, and future graduates will enter into an era of better business conditions. Students in the school of business receive a thorough business education along with elective courses which the University offers. Subjects are not confined entirely to the business school, but the student may take courses in other schools and colleges, thus receiving a well-rounded edu- cation that will be an asset in securing a posi- tion after graduation from the University. Dean Ralph H. Farmer is at the head of the School of Business Administration. Assisting him is a staff of well trained men, all of whom have received practical training as technicians in the business field. Raten Honrer Farmer is Dean of the business school, and a professor of business and economics. While earning his A.B. at Oberlin, College, he took time off to make Phi Beta Kappa. During summer vacations when a student, he danced to the sailor’s hornpipe on a Great Lakes boat, now to the stock markets and business cycles. 2} 2642

Ss = i] a of Tl CHL Theoretically mothering several hundred women is a task that Dean Permeal French has held at the University of Idaho for many years. A true Idahoan, Dean French has attended the University, and holds the growth of her alma mater as one of her greatest ideals. Dean French is the supervisor over all living quarters for women on the university campus. Hays Hall, Forney Hall, and the College Wom- en’s Club are directly supervised by Miss French. All rules governing the sororities, as well as the rulings governing all campus social functions are set up by the dean. The newest group house accommodating women is the College Women’s Club, which was founded as a result of the efforts of Dean French. The club operates on a cooperative basis, all women assisting in the upkeep and operation of the club. The Dean of Women has also made possible the occupancy of Forney Hall by fac- ulty women at a low cost. Permeat J. Frencu, Dean of Wom- en, was educated in the public schools of Idaho and the College of Notre Dame, in San Francisco. She holds M.A. degrees from the University of Idaho and George Washington Uni- versity. Prior to her becoming Dean of Women in 1908, she served as State Superintendent of Schools. SFTITTSETST kK SSESSEESE Cfeaduate Sebel Although Idaho does not award scholarships equal ro the famous Khodes scholarships in England, she does offer scholarships in many of the schools and colleges to worthy graduates. Many orher conscientious students enter into advanced fields of study afrer receiving under- graduate degrees. All such students are direc tly under the jurisdiction of the Graduate School of the University. C, W. Hungerford is Dean of the Graduate School, Assisting the Dean are six faculty mem- bers appointed by the President of the Univer- sity. Every possible facility is offered graduate students for the purpose of promoting initiative and self-direction in study. Master’s degrees are offered by all of the schools and colleges of the Univ ersity. Higher earning power of individuals receiving graduate degrees is a recognized fact. Consequently, since the depression, many students have returned to the University to obtain master's degrees. Cuarzes WinttAM Huncerrorp has two main problems: graduate stu- dents and plants, and he is an expert in both. He is professor of Plant Pathology and assistant dean of the College of Agriculture. His degrees bear the seals of Upper lowa Uni- versity and Wisconsin, Efficiency and scholarship are shown by membership in Alpha Zeta and Sigma Xi, ef 25 fo
