colleges at usu graduate school It used to be that a high school education was quite hard to get and quite rare. Those who had them were considered the very educated. Then as time went on and more people went to high school, one had to have a few years of college to get anywhere. (School teachers should have of least two years of college.) At the beginning of our lifetime the graduate from college could always find a well-paying, skilled job, But as we are attending school, we are finding out that an advanced degree, beyond the bachelors, is becoming imperative. Admission to the graduate school is reserved for those persons who have maintained a high scholastic record of a ' B average in their undergraduate years. In addition to proof of past scholarship, every candidate for graduate school must pass a rigid entrance ex- amination before acceptance into the school is granted. If, after finishing the necessary course studies, the student is able to demonstrate his knowledge through a written and an oral examination, he is then qualified for graduation. One can find a graduate student behind a pile of books at “his'' metal desk in the library doing research for his thesis, assisting o professor in a classroom as a graduate assistant, and generally looking smarter than the undergraduates. On commencement day students graduating from the School of Graduate Studies are recognized by a stole worn over the graduation gown. These men and women, wearing the color of their college, must be proud to know that they hove received the highest and toughest education possible from Utah State. ‘paarit af dht % tummtafum of tljr faculty fya nmfemit upatt 17

college of agriculture The College of Agriculture has a special place at Utah State University for in 1888 when the school was first founded, it was established as a college primarily for agriculture, and it bore the name Utah State Agricultural College. Now the College of Agriculture conducts experiments and studies on farm animals and plants, many of which are in conjunction with the U.S Deportment of Agriculture. The College teaches all the occupations connected with the production, processing, and distribution of farm products. On campus, this college also runs the U.S.U. Creamery which makes milk, cheese, and that U.S.U. ice cream ' college of The college of Education, which is now the second largest single division on campus, strives to improve education of the mosses through a rigorous and varied program of educating its students. The university offers complete program-ming of teacher education in all phases of public school work. Its primary function is the preparation of teachers, administrators, supervisors, and other professional personnel. Guidance, leadership, and co-operation are but a few fundamental characteristics necessary in the training of educators. Our students strive to obtain these characteristics through diligent work and programming. Through actual classroom experience, students are taught the most beneficial methods of teaching others. Co-operative programming with other departments of the institution provides for teaching the selected majors and minors of the students. Careful attention is given to both staff and facilities in teacher education. Facilities in addition to the regular College of Education classroom include the Nursery School in Family Life. This enables future teachers to acquaint themselves with teaching techniques for pre-school children. Personality development and improvement through the use of modern psychology have become valuable aids to education. Much advanced work and studying has been initiated in the field of education and is now moving swiftly forward with new methods of understanding. 18
