For the Work of Life. Preparation for the work of life has come to be the object of education. The Latin and Greek of our great grandfathers have been replaced by chemistry and horticulture. There are people and there are schools who are clinging like death to yesterday. But there are also schools and there are people who are sweating joyfully in the labor of today with souls ablaze with the hope of to- morrow. Education once meant an alienation from the struggle; a separation from the vulgar crowd. Education now means a preparation for the struggle, for the mixing with the crowd. We are just beginning to remember what He meant, “By the sweat of thy brow.” For if life is any- thing LIFE IS WORK. THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH. The Aim of the College. The purpose of the College is two-fold: first, it aims to supply a broad general culture, without which any man or woman is forever excluded from a great deal that is most desirable in life. It has strong high school and college courses in [nglish, mathematics, chemistry, physics, history, civics, and modern languages. It encourages educational breadth. While it is distinctly a technical school, it aims above all else to turn out broad-minded men and women. Its second aim 1s to prepare men and women for special positions in life; scientific agriculturists, practical farmers, experts in business science, trained housewives, carpenters, blacksmiths, foundry workers, ma- chinists, teachers in technical branches. Admission. Graduates from the eighth grade of the common schools are admitted to any of the short courses of the College. Those who have finished the first two years of high school work are admitted to any of the college courses leading to degrees. Spe- cial students are admitted to any of the courses upon presenting evidence of their fitness to pur- sue the desired work. After a Day's Work. THe AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE oF UTAH. Departments of Instruction. The College comprises five great schools: the School of Agriculture, the School of Domestic Science and Arts, the School of Mechanic Arts, the School of Commerce, and the School of Gen- eral Science. The Degree of Bachelor of Sci- ence is given in Agriculture, Domestic Science and Arts; Commerce, and General Science.

The College maintains a Winter School and a Summer School. The purpose of the winter ses- sion is to give the busy farmer, mechanic, dairy- man and housewife an opportunity during the few weeks of midwinter to come in touch with the most advanced ideas in their work. ‘The attend- ance in these courses is more than doubling from winter to winter. A few more years and every farmer, industrial worker, and housewife in the State will be in attendance. In this work no edu- cational requirements are made and the instruc- tion is all practical. Under expert supervision, the student treats animals for diseases and acci- dents, prunes trees, operates incubators, sprays for fruit and garden pests and plant diseases, works in the College dairy, sews, cooks and serves meals.

The School of Agriculture. The purpose of the courses in agriculture at the College is two-fold: to train the agricultural ex- pert and to prepare men for life on the farm. Tlie United States Department of Agriculture is in need of trained men who will be able to conduct scientific investigations. The College already has a-ldrge corps of graduates in this work. The salaries are high comparcd with those in other branches of science, ranging from $1,200 to $3.000 a year. Calls are made almost daily for more men—men trained in agriculture.

The other object—to raise the standard of farm life by educating the farmer—is having its ef- fect upon inter-mountain homes. Pure-bred cat- tle and horses, clean orchards, successful dairies, sanitary barns, well cared for machinery; all these results, and many others, are beginniny to characterize the western farm.

There is a large demand in this State alone for such men. They are notice be had. The rapid development of arid farm- ing will increase this demand. Horticulture and Entomology. Utah is rapidly becoming a great horticultural State. Such en- terprises demand expert knowledge.

Lucrative employment awaits the man who understands the care and feeding of animals. Irrigation and Drainage. There is no more vital phase of Utah agriculture than that of irriga- tion. The use or misuse of irrigation water de- termines in a large measure the prosperity of the State. Canal managers are needed who under- stand the care and use of water; who know enough engineering to care for the canal, and enough agriculture to teach the farmers how to get the best results from the use of water. It is for this purpose that the course has been or- ganized. Calls are made frequently for such men, but the few who have the training are al- ready placed. Veterinary Science. -The first two years of a col- lege course in veterinary science are now Offered. Vast sums of money are lost annually in this State through animal diseases.

Experts from the College spend a great part of each winter visiting different parts of the State and talking to the farmers and their wives and children. These institutes are accomplishing a vast amount of good for Utah by giving higher ideals on the farm and in the workshop; ideals in the home; ideals of a more abundant citizen- ship. Everywhere the State is beginning to show the effects of a keener appreciation of the no- bility of labor, since it is being joined to intel- ligence. Veterinary Laboratory. There is room for one or two veterinarians in every county of the State. 23 Tue AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH. A Course in Forestry. The Government is in need of for- esters to handle the public lands. The Government needs men train- ed from youth to western condi- tions. It has been iound that easterners, no matter how well trained, cannot easily adapt them- selves to western conditions. For this reason the U. S. Department of Agriculture has been instrumental in having established at the Col- lege a Department of Forestry. This Depart- ment is designed especially to prepare men for government service as rangers, inspectors and supervisors. The salaries are high in the work and positions are assured to men who prepare themselves. Foresters in Winter Session. The Government is making a persistent call for western men who have the training necessary to care for the public lands. 24 "THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE oF UTAH. Utah Experiment Station. The Experiment Station. The Experiment Station is a Gov- ernment as well as a State institu- tion. Its purpose is to carry on in- vestigations with a view of aiding the agricultural development of the State. Being in connection with the College, it furnishes an opportunity for students to come directly in con- tact with the research work of Gov- ernment and State experts.

Nothing is so radical as conservatism. Noth- ing dies so hard as an old idea. The old idea that woman’s place was not in education, that ho. - life needed no special training, is dying. Pe- haps nowhere in the great field of human activity is science and training needed more than in the home. Squalid, unsanitary, disagreeable home life has surely killed more great minds than all the other forces of society combined. Plain and fancy Dressmaking. THe AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH. Dressmaking. The average home satisfies only the animal man. Enough to eat and wear and a place to sleep. The higher wants—art, books, music—an _ en- vironment of health and happiness, are wanting.

Each year the College could place at good salaries many times the graduates and advanced students it is able to recommend. Moreover, training in this work opens lines of business activity such as Agricultural College work in Domestic Science and Arts has won gold medals at every exposition held in the United States for the last ten vears. 32 Tur AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE oF UTAH. 33 Implements.

Stationary Tubs in the Laundry. 34 Tue AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE oF UTAH. 33 There are still a few who maintain that the sphere of woman is not in education. They look upon the College as a place which tears woman away from her natural place—the home. Such people are thirty years behind the times. One of the greatest forces for the building up of the home idea is the modern school of domestic science and arts. The introduction of intelligence—science— into home activity is the prime function of such a school. A Laundry View—Artificial Drying Apparatus.

The School of Commerce aims to do more than train men and women to keep books or run a typewriter and fill a stenographer’s pad, although it does this well. It aims to develop in the stu- dent an expert knowledge of business in all its complexities. The West is one vast treasure house of undeveloped resources,’ which requires only the knock of the trained man, to open its doors. An expert knowledge of business can be obtained by experience, but it requires the best years of life.

Actual business practice forms an important part of the course. There are few sights more pathetic than that of a man of superb native ability being held down because of the need of a little training. You know men who are natural leaders, but who will never be heard from because they need the train- ing necessary for advancement.

You can’t win a mile race with- out it; you can’t win the leadership in business without it. It’s a Twentieth Century demand. The School of Commerce of the Agricultural Col- lege is admirably equipped for all the work of the course. Actual business practice is an im- portant part of the work—banking, transporta- tion, brokerage, commission, real estate and in- surance. Each student engages successively in each of these lines and thus with his fellows builds up a complex trade. Absolute accuracy and attention to detail are insisted upon. Industry and Force were the only requisites for success in the past. Business relations are now so complex that it requires special preparation to comprehend, operate, and correlate the various factors. | One Corner of the Library.

Each year the students of music prepare for pub- lic performance one or more operas and an ora- torio. In addition to these frequent public re- citals are given by the advanced students, The Mandolin and Guitar Club. 54 THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH, Expenses. The expenses of the students are low.

Student Activities. As we said before, the aim of education is to fit men and women for life. This training for life is admirably illustrated in the activity of the organized Student Body. This organization selects from its members managers for the different athletic teams of the Institution; editors and managers for a monthly college pa- per, and various other officials. This body controls all college theatricals, mu- sicals, and debates, and really con- stitutes a miniature commonwealth.

It brings effective- ly to the front the leader and tries him as severe- ly as he ever will be tried later. Perhaps no- where is there such a pure democracy as among college students; perhaps nowhere do rank and wealth count for so little. Here, as nowhere else in life, a man is put absolutely on his merit. College life has ceased to be a superficial thing of strange clothes and a dizzy pipe; it has become intensely real. The Student Body organization embraces all the students of the Institution. Its prime object is to foster a proper spirit of college loyalty.

Rowdyism and vandalism, which used to be thought a necessary appendage of college life, are almost totally absent. Students are en- couraged to enter the public life of the Institu- tion, but are at the same time held strictly to academic standards. There is no unnecessary emphasis placed on the appearance of repre- sentatives of the Institution in any public ca- pacity, a result too often noticeable in the smaller colleges. Everything is natural. The College maintains for the pleasure and profit of its students a foot-ball team, track team, basket ball team, military band, orchestra, and various other musical organizations, a debat- ing club, and a dramatic club. Fraternities and sororities, with a select membership, add to the social and literary life of the Institution. Athletic Types. While students are encouraged to enter the public life of the Institution they are held strictly to academic standards. THe AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH. Successful Graduates. The graduates of the College have been remark- ably successful. Every man and woman gradu- ated since the Institution began has immediately secured profitable and responsible employment as Government experts, industrial workers, mainly in engineering and mechanic arts, teachers of domestic science, agriculture and mechanic arts. as well as of the more general lines, and as work- ers in various business capacities. The College is especially proud of the men and women who: have left its halls. No other school in the West can show such a body of uniformly successful alu:nni. If there is any test of the efficiency of a college, it should be this. The Agricultural Col- lege is willing to stand upon the record of its graduates. The cause of this success is not hard to find. The College is situated in the heart of a young coun- try, the resources of which are just beginning to be developed. These resources demand three kinds of training, commercial, agricultural and industrial. Industrial training includes the trades, commonly so-called, and engineering. The courses of study of the College emphasize these departments. The result is that the man is fitted for the work, and not trained away from it, a re- sult too often noticeable in the older schools. 6 THe AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH. Employment for Students. A great many young people who come to College are forced to work in order to pay their way. Conditions at the Agricultural College are such that employment can be furnished to almost a!l who apply. Lack of money should not keep an ambitious young man away from school. It means a little harder fight—that’s all. Energy, enthusiasm, determination—these three can solve any problem in life. Moral Supervision. The successful man is not the scholar, the capi- talist, the artist, or the skilled worker in any di- rection. The successful man is the man of char- acter. Character may or may, not accompany brains. The highest possible standards are held continually before the students of. the College, with the aim of maintaining in the student the most rigid morality. The method is not detec- tive in its nature; the thought is rather that by The Discus: All the activities of the College are sane and symmetrical. 65 Tue AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OF UTAH supplying a healthy, sane and cheerful environ- iment good results must follow.
