In pursuance of these purposes there has been organized a College for stu- dents at Columbia, a division of the University of Missouri, an Agricultural Experiment Station for the purpose of conducting scientific research, and an Agricultural Extension Service, the members of which devote their entire time to teaching and demonstration outside of Columbia. The College has trained a very large number of men and women for useful careers, many of w hom are now engaged as technicians in colleges and universities, with great corporations, as managers of large farms, or as farm owners. The College of Agriculture owes its establishment to a demand on the part of the people them- selves for a type of education expressed in the Morrill Act of Congress approved by President Lincoln in 1862. The provisions of this Act require these institutions to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical educa- tion of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. The Federal Congress further endowed these institutions by the passage of the Hatch, Adams, and Purnell bills which provide additional appropriations to these institutions for scientific research. In 1914 Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act which provides funds specifically for the purpose of extending the knowledge of agriculture directly to the people engaged in the agricultural industry.
