. ' •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.

nPHK School of Education, through long ears of steady growth and dexelopment. has begun to arrive at an approximation of what such an integral part of the state education sxsteni should be. The gratifying increase in size and interest is due in a large part to the ecognition throughout the state of I he value of the teacher who has been subjected to the rigid course of study lirescribed by the Education Depart- ment. The School is preparator - to all phases of school work. Positive em- phasis is laid upon the problem of school administration, the organiza- tion of educational facilities, and ac- tual classroom work. Practical experience in teaching is offered by the University grade and high school which is used as a labora- tory for instruction in the Education Department. Top ro ' if — PcRDO.M, Phillips.
