1960-61, New Agriculture Building in Full Use Ample livestock herds and flocks provide facilities for agricultural students to learn by doing. The total amount of land alloted for the College of Agriculture is slightly over 3500 acres. Ag lectures are not often heard in a seat-filled class- room but in a more casual atmosphere in a slaughter-house, green house, livestock pavilion, poultry building or University Dairy. Since the field of agriculture is a rapidly expanding one, the list of courses offered is constantly being supplemented. This field has stretched far beyond the bounds of the farm gate to enclose such vocations as agricultural business, chemis- try, journalism, entomology, engineering, and food technology. A student enrolled in General Agriculture combines courses on the ag campus with studies in the humanities, lan- guages, and history. General Agriculture aims at a wide educational perspective. Opportunities to become acquainted with extension specialists, serving the state and to study extension service methods are given to the students while they are in Columbia. The facilities of the University of Missouri College of Agri- culture are very vast. New buildings coupled with a well- staffed faculty help to make this division of the University one of the most outstanding. MiMMIIHMM
