Dean F. B. Mumford r eee 01 Agricu [T IS the first duty of the College of Agriculture to train men and women for successful citizen- ship in rural environment. The institution pre- pares men and women for the most enlightened public service as well as for high achievement as individuals. The curricula of the College of Agriculture are not alone concerned with in- creasing the technical skill and efficiency of the student, but are likewise directed toward train- ing for broad-visioned, constructive agricultural statesmanship. The individualistic status of farmers is such that they have been unable, through their own economic organization, to -™b - secure for their industry the aid which modem ' scientific research has contributed to the great manufacturing and industrial corporations. The aid is available to farmers through the work of the Agricultural Experiment Station which is endowed by the Federal and State Governments. In order that the farmer may secure this aid promptly and benefit immediately, the Agricultural Extension Service at the College provides an organization of skilled workers to demonstrate improved methods directly to the farmer himself. The chief contribution of the College of Agriculture to the present and future well-being of the American people is its definite, concrete and measurable service to the public welfare.

School of La w THE school year of 1924-25 is a significant year in the life of the School of Law which was established more than fifty years ago. In December, 1924, the Board of Curators let a contract for the construction of a new building. This building comes as a result of an appropria- tion of .fTS.OOO by the Fifty-Second General Assembly of Missouri, and a gift of the same amount by Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Tate of St. Louis. The building is to be a memorial to their son, the late Lee H. Tate, a graduate of the School of Law of the class of 1914. The building was designed by Jamieson and Spearl, St. Louis architects. All who have seen the plans agree that the building is to be both beautiful and useful. It is to be a fire- proof structure and hence will afford proper protection for our valuable law library of over 25,000 books. From the standpoint of utility it is believed that it will equal any law school building in this country southeast corner of Francis Quadrangle. Dean J. P.

School of Medicine npHE SCHOOL of Medicine is the oldest pro- fessional school on the Campus and was the first school in the University to require two years of college work for admission. The first two years of medical studies are included in the curriculum, no degrees in medicine having been . ' ' ' ' ' i KS ' ' i l granted since 1910. As a pre-clinical school Mn ?; emphasis is laid upon the foundation sciences upon which rest all scientific medicine, cura- tive or preventive. Because of inability properly to accom- modate all candidates for admission, the School of Medicine has for three years restricted its Dean Guy L. Noyes enrollment. Students are selected strictly upon a basis of scholarship, thus allowing the school to maintain very high standards. Although at present the school offers only a two-year course, applications for admission are in excess of the number that can be admitted. Students who ihave finished the course here receive full credit for their work in other schools. Officers of the School EvERETTE R. QuiNN President J. R.
