Entrance Examinations

Entrance examinations are held during the first week of the opening of the session, September 12th to 17th, 1906, and all applicants for admission are expected to report promptly at the beginning of this period. Former students, also, who have conditions to remove or work to make up, are required to report at the same time.

Examinations on the subjects required for entrance will be held on the dates shown in the following schedules, beginning at 9 A. M.:

For Admission to the Freshman Class. Arithmetic, Wednesday, September 12th, 1906. Algebra, Thursday, September 13th, 1906. English, Friday, September 14th, 1906. Geography, Saturday, September 15th, 1906. History, Monday, September 17th, 1906.

For Admission to the Preparatory Class. Arithmetic, Wednesday, September 12th, 1906. English, Thursday, September 13th, 1906. Geography, Friday, September 14th, 1906.

Upon passing satisfactorily the required examinations, the Committee on Examinations furnishes the applicant with a certificate to that effect, and upon presentation of this certificate at the President's office he is assigned to the class recommended by the Committee.

For admission to advanced standing, applicants must be prepared to stand examinations on the subjects passed over by the lower classes, as indicated in the courses of study scheduled on the following pages. Such applicants should report with other new students during the regular examination period, and arrange with their instructors for the

necessary examinations before the opening of the session. Student sadmitted to advanced standing are allowed a reasonable length of time in which to make up shop work of the lower classes, in case they have not done equivalent work elsewhere.

Examinations for admission to the beneficiary scholarships established at the recent session of the Legislature are held by the various county boards of education, and cannot be given at the College. For further particulars in regard to these scholarships, see page 52.

Prescribed Courses of Study

As briefly described and tabulated on the following pages, six regular four-year courses are offered, each leading to graduation with the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. S.), the course pursued being designated on the diploma.

The two agricultural courses are alike in the freshman year, and agricultural students are, therefore, required to choose between these at the beginning of the sophomore year. The other four courses are alike during the first two years, and choice between them is made at the beginning of the junior year. The descriptions accompanying the detailed schedules of studies in the various courses are intended to aid the student in arriving at an adequate estimate of the scope and purposes of each course, in order that he may the more intelligently choose between them.

In all the courses, two hours of practical work in shop, laboratory, or field, are regarded as equivalent to one hour of "theoretical" work, or recitations, as no outside preparation is required for practical work, and the exercises are completed in the periods assigned in the curriculum.

Change from one course to another is not permitted except upon approval of the Faculty. Any student desiring to change his course of study must submit a written application to the President for such change within thirty days from the date of his matriculation for the current session.

When change is made at beginning of sophomore year. from one of the engineering courses to the agricultural course or from the agricultural to one of the engineering courses, the student is required to make up the equivalent of

three practical hours per week for a year in whatever subject the director of the department shall specify.

COURSE I.-AGRICULTURE

This is a broad educational course, covering the whole field of natural sciences that are tributary to the agricultural industry, together with a liberal amount of mathematics, English, physics, history and political economy, and a maximum amount of chemistry.

The division of the original course into (1) Agriculture and Horticulture, and (2) Agriculture and Animal Industry, described on the following page, has been made in order to afford opportunity for election in these lines. In this course the student is given more special training in agriculture, horticulture, chemistry, botany, bacteriology, and entomology; and thus is laid a foundation upon which he may readily specialize in any of these branches after graduation. The student is well equipped to take up farming, gardening, or fruit growing as an occupation, or for the pursuit of investigational work in the United States Department of Agriculture or the various state experiment stations.

Either of the agricultural courses forms an excellent foundation for the study of other professions, particularly that of medicine.

COURSE I.-AGRICULTURE

(Numbers in parentheses refer to descriptions beginning on page 79.)

*Political Economy ends and Senior English begins at the middle of the second term.

COURSE II.-AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL INDUSTRY

This is a differentiation of the original course in agriculture for the purpose of affording students specially interested in general animal industry, dairying and veterinary medicine an opportunity to receive more instruction in these lines than was formerly practicable. There is a growing interest in animal industry throughout the State, and this course is intended to meet the demand for more specialized training in this phase of agriculture. In order to afford more time for instruction in these branches, some important, but less essential studies, have been omitted; but mathematics is retained through the second year and a special course in rural engineering put in the third year. English, history and civics are retained throughout the course, drawing the first year, physics the second year, geology the last year and chemistry the last three years, but slightly reduced and changed to meet the demands of this new course. Botany, bacteriology, zoology and entomology are so planned as to begin the first year of the course and thereby contribute to clearer knowledge of farm crops, live stock, dairying, sanitation and animal diseases. General agriculture is taught during the first two years, horticulture the third and veterinary medicine the last three years; while live stock and dairying are taught throughout the course. The live stock work embraces the study of the breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, and includes judging, breeding, feeding, care and management of flocks and herds. In the dairy course are taken up the production, handling, manufacture and marketing of whole milk, cream, ice-cream, butter and cheese.
