Dean Alfred A. Cleveland SCHOOL OF EDUCATION T HE School of Education, established in 1917 to aid in the training of high school teachers, super¬ visors of special subjects, and superintendents, grew out of the department established in 1907 under the same name. In addition to its regular work, the school sponsors two national education honorary fraternities, namely, Phi Delta Kappa for men, and Pi Lambda Theta for women students. The faculty of the school is drawn from a number of leading institutions including Clark University, Co¬ lumbia University, University of Chicago, Harvard University and McGill University. The School of Education is one of the main connecting links between the college and the high school, as well as other schools in the state. Each year a large percentage of students enrolling in education enter after two years of normal training and teaching experience. Each spring the department conducts a High School Conference which is widely attended and at which time some educator of note is the chief speaker. During the summer session, education is the leading major of those enrolled, and the department offers a number of courses especially arranged for principals and superin¬ tendents. The School of Education graduates one-fourth of its total enrollment each year, and is making steady ad¬ vancement in its graduate work. Roberts. Richardson.

Dean Clare C. Todd COLLEGE OF SCIENCES AND ARTS I N THIS division, the largest of the State College, we find grouped the basic sciences and the subjects commonly designated by the collective term “liberal arts ’ Because of the fundamental relation of its work to that of all other divisions, this college gives instruc¬ tion to every student on the campus. As a foundation for general education, the student, whatever his major interest, wishes to add to his proficiency in English, and the study of the social sciences prepares any man or womaji for greater usefulness in meeting the duties of citizenship. The function of the College of Sciences and Ar ts is not limited to furnishing fundamental preparation in the applied fields of study. Each of the nine depart¬ ments offers direct training for professional careers. Several important changes in organization have been effected during the past year. The former Department of Business Administration is now known as the School of Business Administration. Sociology has been sep¬ arated from this division and now functions as an in¬ dependent department. New courses in philosophy have been added and are grouped as a division of the Department of Sociology. History and political science have grown in importance to an extent warranting the formation of a separate department. All departments grant the M. A. or M. S. degree, and several offer programs leading to the Doctor ' s de¬ gree. Left to Right, Front Rous —Yoder. Daniels, Levin. Leonard, Glower, Brockway, Nevin.

Dean Edward C. Johnson COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE T HE State College of Washington was primarily a college of agriculture, and while it is no longer devoted solely to farm problems, it has done a great deal toward agricultural advancement. At present va¬ rious types of farm and field work, as well as landscape gardening, forestry, range management, agricultural journalism, and teaching courses are offered besides subjects allied to agriculture in business. The enrollment this year is twenty-five per cent larger than a year ago, obviously showi ng an increase of interest in agriculture as a business and as a profes¬ sion. The freshman class is the largest class that has been enrolled in the college for nine years. A new greenhouse, to be used for experimental work, was completed this fall. The departments of animal and dairy husbandry have made outstanding records for the year, taking several honors in the cattle shows held in Portland. Realizing that agricultural prosperity is a necessity for the life of the growing population, the College of Agriculture keeps its ideals in mind, yearly training many students to contribute toward making the agricultural methods of the United States outstanding among nations.
