 The Utah Agricultural College has an individuality distinctly its own. Ii boasts of a system of education thorough but practical. Its ideals have been to serve the masses rather than to discriminate in favor of a few, and those ideals have been recognized by an increased attendance from every part of the state and by a widespread popularity among the citizens of the state. Its slogan is progression, but with the kind of progression which the supporters of the institution can appreciate and comprehend. The college aims to he a leader, not merely a dictator. Any one visiting the school will immediately recognize that individual spirit. The. grounds and the buildings arc tastefully arranged, artistic, and beautiful, but practicability and solidity have not been sacritled. The buildings have been constructed with the idea of being able to produce something of use to the citizens of the state. In student affairs, the faculty lias provided for certain amounts of recreation and amusement, but here again the practical spirit lias not been eliminated. Students who attend the Agricultural College are taught to work. They are expected to be producers and leaders, and a glance at the members of the Alumni Association seems to indicate that students are living up to expectations. Our college stands for education in its fullest sense. 7

Chemistry Building The new science building, erected on the Agricultural College campus, is the latest acquisition of the state in the way of educational buildings. This building came as a result of a growing demand due to the rapid growth of the school and a consequent shortage of rooms and equipment for scientific purposes. Its erection was begun in the spring of 1915 and was partially finished by November of the same year, though not all of the departments were established In their new quarters until later. The plans followed in its erection provide for an absolutely fireproof structure. To comply with this the outside and petition walls are ail of pressed brick with the floor, stairways, and ceilings of reinforced cement. The windows are fitted into steel fixtures and are so constructed as to pro vide Tor perfect ventilation of the building. The doors contain practically the only wooden material in the complete structure. The laboratories are all equipped with stone covered desks, (las. hot and cold water, compressed air. high pressure steam, and distilled water are all available where needed. The new building furnishes quarters for the Physics, Chemistry and Bacteriology departments of the school. It contains sixteen large laboratory rooms, two class rooms, three store rooms and three offices. When fully equipped and completed the building will accommodate seven hundred students in the three departments. The structure was erected at an approximate cost of $50,000 and it is estimated that the equipment will necesltate an additional $25,000. making the total expense, when fully equipped, near $75,000.
