School of Arts and Science THE School of Arts and Science offers a broad general education in such subjects as English, Mathematics, Natural and Physical Sciences, History and Language. Standard three year and four year pre- medical courses are offered which are accepted in all class HA medical schools. ln connec- tion with the School of Commerce, standard prelegal work is offered. The School of Education, in connection with the other five Schools of the College, is especially well prepared to train teachers for all branches of the public school system from the Kindergarten to the High School. An up-to-date training school has been established which includes the kindergarten and the first six grades. Other teacher train- f ing is done in the Logan City School system, A, ll. SAXER one of the best systems in the state. Advanced work is offered to prepare progressive teachers for greater respon- sibilities along administrative lines or in Smith-Hughes work. School of Engineering ENGINEERING has been defined as the practical application of scientific methods to the utilization of the resources of nature for the use of man. An engineer deals with forces, with materials and with men. As a designer, he seeks the proper amount and kind of material to produce and withstand certain forces. As a constructor, he uses men and machinery to assemble the material in the desired arrangement. Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession and embraces the widest field. Closely associated with civil engineering and agricultural engineering, is the work in mechanic arts which is also administered by the school of engineering. Students who have an inclination toward the mechanical lines may take work leading to foremanship in shops, high school shop teaching, and to positions in woodwork, machine work, forging, radio aero- nautics and auto mechanics. Our graduates i in these lines have been absorbed as rapidly as we have been able to complete their training. R, B. XVEST -,D.,gf 23

School of Agriculture THE purpose of the School of Agriculture is to train young men for organization and leadership in rural problems. This is the great need today in the field of agriculture. In addi- tion to the fundamental Work in the plant and animal sciences the School of Agriculture is endeavoring to strengthen the work in llorticulture, Forestry and Range and in Agri- cultural Economics and the marketing of agricultural commodities. The faculty personnel of the School of Agriculture is striving to turn out graduates that are farm reared but that are also scientifi- cally trained in the profession. Such graduates are in greater demand than ever before. We have little difficulty in placing such products in promising positions. One of the most pleasant phases of faculty service in our institution is the contacts with fine young men during the formative period of their lives. lt is a great satisfaction to study them as they enter the activities of life, win promotions, and finally assume leadership in the profession. KENNETH C. IKLER The Sclhiooll of Commerce THE primary purpose of the School of Commerce is to prepare men and women to enter that ever-expanding field of activity which We call business or commerce. We are using these terms in their broadest sense to include the business aspects of government and of agriculture. . Students who register in this school are urged, especially during the first two years, to pursue a broad course in science and literature while getting an introduction to the opportun- ities and vocations offered in the world of business and in the application of the social sciences generally. With this foundation or background, the aim of the school is to develop in each man or woman a skill or technique which can be directly applied in some recog- nized vocation. This technical skill coupled with training in the fundamental principles of the social sciences and administration enables capable students to enter various vocations and rise rapidly to positions or administrative responsibility.

Selhooll of Home Economies THE School of Home Economics has as its chief objective the training of young women for the dignified and important vocation of broader field than formerly when it concerned itself chiefly with the mechanics of housekeep- ing. lt has now ceased to make housekeeping and purpose of family life, to the child as the central interest in the family, and to the care and training of children as the most vital function of the home. This type of training prepares a young woman for worthy ho-me membership and good citizenship. We feel that home economics has a con- tribution to make to the field of education in general. Obviously such courses as nutrition, intelligent choice of personal clothing, personal accounts, and the health of little children are subjects of general value and should become a part of the equipment of every student in the College. Ci-iRisriNE B. CLAYTON Summer Session THE Utah State Agricultural College was one of the first institutions of the Intermountain West to offer opportunities for summer study. Established in 1903, the summer session has from that date on continued to make available to teachers and l others, whose time during the regular school year has been employed in their various voca- tions, the work of the major departments of the College. In 1925 a project was undertaken to bring to the College each summer a number of the leading educators and scientists of America, both for public lectures and regular class in- struction. This brought to our institution stu- dents in large numbers and from all points of view was highly successful-so successful in fact that this practice has been continued to the present, and other summer schools have followed our practice, until today the oppor- tunities in the West for summer study compares very favorably with those of the more favored areas of the east.
