The College of Agriculture offers an education designed to fit for the business of farming, and at the same time to furnish a means of culture. This education is, therefore, partly technical and partly cultural. Its end is the training of students to be not only successful farmers, but good citizens and successful men. Of the courses leading to graduation in the College of Agriculture, the technical portion constitutes about onehalf of the entire work of the student, the sciences most nearly related to agriculture about one-fourth; and the remaining portion is made up of language, literature, and electives chosen from any subjects taught in the University. The College also offers, through the department of household science, a variety of courses especially treating of the affairs of the home. This college offers two courses leading to graduation with the degree of Bachelor of Science: 1. Agricultural Course. 2. General Course in Household Science. ADMISSION Applicants for admission to the freshman class of the University in the College of Agriculture must satisfy the requirements of paragraphs I to 7, on page 75. Admission may be obtained, as in the case of the other Colleges and Schools, by presenting a certificate from a fully accredited high school, as described on page 75; by examination, or by transfer of credits from some other college or university.' The requirements for admission are the same as for admission to the College of Science, as described on page 96. For admission as special students see below and page 85; for admission by transfer of credits, and to advanced standing, see page 85. SPECIAL STUDENTS Until students have announced their intention to work for a degree and have satisfied all entrance requirements, they are known as special students. Any young man sixteen years old or over, and any young woman eighteen years old or over, may enter as a special student without reference to graduation, electing such work as he is prepared for, and remain as long as the work done is satisfactory. Any such student, however, who is deficient in the correct use of English is required to take that subject in the University or the Academy, according to the amount of his deficiency. The person who remains but a short time will therefore follow but a few lines of work. If his preparation is deficient he will be confined to those subjects that require little or no previous preparation. He will also be confined to an amount which he can do thoroughly well, and will thus perform substantially the same grade of work as regular students. As the course is largely elective, credit is given for what is actually achieved. This plan affords the student with a limited amount of time all the advantages of a short course and at the same time secures a good grade of work in the subjects studied. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION The student of agriculture is brought into close practical contact with his subject. He takes levels, lays tile, See General Description of Courses beginning on page 208. tests the draft of tools, traces root systems of corn and other crops, tests germination of seeds, determines the fertility in soils and the effects of different crops and of different rotations upon soil fertility. He does budding, grafting, trimming, and spraying, and works out problems in landscape gardening. He tests milk, operates separators, makes and judges butter and cheese. He studies cuts of meat and samples of wool, judges a great variety of animals, and has practice in diagnosing and treating their diseases. EQUIPMENT The College keeps on deposit several thousand dollars' worth of plows, cultivators, planters, cutters, shellers, grinders, mowers, binders, engines etc., received from the manufacturers. It has extensive collections of agricultural plants and seeds and their products. Laboratories are well equipped with apparatus and appliances for the study of manures, fertilizers, fertility of soils, soil physics, soil bacteriology, germination of seeds, corn judging, etc. The grounds of the University and the fields and orchards of the Experiment Station are always available for illustration in class work. An illustrative series of colored casts of fruit and enlarged models of fruits and flowers, collections of seeds and woods. cabinets of beneficial and noxious insects, with specimens of their work, photographs, maps, charts, drawings, lantern slides,—all afford valuable material for study and illustration. Specimens of Morgan horses; Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus, Jersey, Ayrshire, and Holstein-Friesian cattle; Shropshire. Merino, and Dorset sheep, and Berkshire swine, afford material for judging. This material. moreover, is largely increased by loans from prominent herds. In the dairy department is a complete outfit for milk-testing and for cream separation and butter and cheese making. The department of veterinary science |
