The school holds membership in the Association of American Medical Colleges and has alwa s been rated as Class A by the Council on Medical Education of the Amer- ican Medical Association.

E.XCIXEKRIXn based upon phy has been a ten lenc - tf Em eiliuaiion has from the beginning been sical sciences. But in recent years there to l)roaden this foundation b ' including economics, sociology, government and law. Pioneer schools prepared for a practice restricted to rather narrow fields of activity, but this ideal has been largely abandoned and colleges are striving to make their graduates men of cultivated minds, masters of the fundamental sciences and able to apph ' them in one or another field. The College of Engineering at the I ' niversity of Missouri pro ides for all its students during the first two and a half years of their training re- gardless of their phms for future specialization. Its aim is not only to train the mind of the stufient but to de elop his judgment without com- mitting him to an ' restricted field of work. With this policy and with expected material expansions, our corps of trained and experienced teachers will be able to give increased ser ice to the vouth of Missouri. Dean Mc ( ' Al.

. ' •T iirinHi College of Agriculture THE College of Agriculture was first estab- lished by a Federal law approved by Presi- dent Abraham Lincoln in 1862. This law re- quires that the funds provided l)y Congress shall ie for the endowment, support, and mainte- nance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including mili- tary tactics, to teach branches of learn- ing as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts in such manner as the legislatures of the states may respec- tively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life. The functions of the College of Agriculture have now been extended to include scientific research and agricultural extension. Since the original Land Grant ap- propriation of 1862, there have been six additional Congressional appro- priations made to the College of Agri- culture. These appropriations were the result of Federal laws which are designated respectively as: The first Morrill Act, the second Morrill Act, the Nelson amendment to the Morrill Act, the Hatch Experiment Station Act, the Adams Experiment Station Act, the Smith-Lever Extension Act, and the Purnell Experiment Station Act. The State of Alissouri has also contributed to the endowment and support of the institution. Bollom Rou ' — MuRNEEK, Trowbridge.
