300 COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

LIVE STOCK

The University herds and flocks represent the principal breeds of dairy
and beef cattle, draft-horses, swine, sheep, and poultry, including many
individuals that are well-known prize winners.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

GRADUATE COURSES offer to advanced students opportunities for pro-
fessional training and original investigation, made possible through an
-active Experiment Station, associated with numerous scientific laboratories.
The special lines of study in agriculture and home economics are left largely
to the selection of the student. Students may participate in experiments in
progress and, after suitable experience, conduct independent investigations.
When contributions to knowledge of permanent value are made they may
be published through the bulletins with proper credit to the contributor.

LONG COURSE IN AGRICULTURE OR HOME ECONOMICS. These four-year
courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science embrace general train-
ing in chemistry, physics, biology, bactericlogy, and other branches which
have applications in agriculture or home economics. The fields are so
broad, however, that it is impossible for the student to pursue in four years
all the technical courses offered, in addition to acquiring the necessary
fundamental studies, and hence much liberty of election is allowed.

MIDDLE COURSE IN AGRICULTURE, leading to the title of Graduate in
Agriculture, consists of two full college years and is planned especially
for those who wish greater specialization in agriculture with less of general
scientific training.

COURSES FOR THE TRAINING OF TEACHERS. Graduates of the four-year
courses in Agriculture or Home Economics who fulfill the special educa-
tional professional requirements will be entitled to receive a special license
to teach agriculture, home economics, or the vocation of home making, and
a general license to teach other subjects. See pages 84, 89, 307 and 311 of
this catalog.

SUMMER SESSION COURSES include work in agricultural bacteriology,
agricultural chemistry, agricultural economics, agricultural education, ag-
ricultural engineering, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairying, plant path-
ology, poultry, soils, and home economics. The home economics work in-
cludes courses in art and design, millinery, food study and cookery, die-
tetics, research in nutrition, teaching home economics, sociological study of
the family, and extension work.

SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE. This course, consisting of two winter
sessions of fifteen weeks each, is provided for those who can devote only a
limited time to study and who, therefore, desire the greatest amount of
directly useful knowledge that can be acquired in the brief time allowed.
This course begins about November 15 and closes about March 15, An
illustrated circular describing this course may be had on request to Prof.
