DEAN E. A. BURNETT

College of Agriculture

HE College of Agriculture, with its beautiful campus and sturdy buildings, is developing its courses of instruction to interest larger groups of students, both men and women, who come to Nebraska in greater numbers each year. It is maintaining its progress along with the other parts and functions of the University.

   Old courses in the curriculum are being continued and new subjects are being brought in that are necessary. The technical groups of subjects will be continued and in addition a Liberal Course in Agriculture is offered which will permit the students to specialize in science, economics, history, sociology, or literature.

   A new course in Agricultural Administration is offered. This is designed to furnish a business training in agriculture, with majors in economics and in agriculture. It will train men to be managers of land, bankers, merchants, and for business closely related to agriculture.

   The Home Economics department is planning several innovations. It will soon offer a new cultural course in Home Economics. It hopes to provide a child training laboratory where students may study child psychology. This work will be modeled after the Merrill-Palmer School at Detroit.

   Social life, of course, will be promoted through student organizations. Parties, mixers, and other social functions help to bind the students of the College more closely. The student activities building, which for some time has been a growing need, will be ready for use in September. Athletic sports will be continued under an efficient coach, as has been the plan of the past. Sports at the Agriculture College are constantly becoming more important.

   The dairy department will soon occupy its new barns, and additional land has been purchased for an animal husbandry farm.
