Admission to College 
 
 Every student entering college must file an official statement of his 
 previous educational work. Applications for credential blanks and all 
 communications! with regard to admission should be addressed to the 
 Registrar. Official high school records should be filed with the Registrar 
 at the close of the school year, if possible, and not later than the first 
 Monday in September, December, or March. The Registrar will deter- 
 mine the value of all credentials and will notify the applicant of their 
 acceptance. He will also assign the applicant for admission to his position 
 in the course desired. Continuance in such assignment will be conditioned 
 upon the student's doing creditable work. 
 
 Applicants for admission to all collegiate courses should be at least 
 sixteen years of age. 
 
 A student may enter the College at the beginning of any quarter. Those 
 wishing to enter at the beginning of the second or third quarter should 
 find out from the Registrar whether entrance at that time is feasible in 
 their case. The regular classes begin with the opening in September and 
 the student is urged to commence at that time. Some Freshman subjects 
 are, however, begun in each quarter. The College desires to emphasize 
 the importance of thorough preparation, particularly in subjects that are 
 to be continued in College. Since without thorough preparation satisfac- 
 tory progress is impossible, students are urged to review carefully, before 
 entering College, algebra through quadratics and English composition and 
 grammar. Those desiring admission should examine Requirements for 
 Admission. 
 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 
 
 The requirements for admission are stated in terms of units. An 
 entrance unit is defined as thirty-six weeks of high school work in one 
 subject of study, with five class periods per week, each not less than forty 
 minutes in length. Each laboratory period should be at least eighty-five 
 minutes in length. A unit is equivalent to two semester credits. The fol- 
 lowing studies are necessary prerequisites to the taking of the collegiate 
 courses offered by the Division of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 (A) ENGLISH, three (3) units. 
 
 HISTORY, CIVICS, ECONOMICS, one (1) unit. 
 MATHEMATICS: 
 
 Algebra, one (1) unit. 
 
 Plane Geometry, one (1) unit. 
 
 (B) Enough work from the five principal groups of subjects, viz.: Eng- 
 
 lish, Foreign Language, History-Civics-Economics group, Math- 
 ematics and Natural Science to make a total of eleven (11) units 
 including the units enumerated above under (A). 
 
 (C) ELECTIVES. Whatever work to the extent of four additional 
 
 units the high school certifies as accepted by that school for 
 graduation; subject to the definitions of units of entrance credit 
 adopted by the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- 
 ondary Schools, or in the bulletins published by the Iowa State 
 Board of Education.

DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 9 
 
 1. Admission to Graduates of IOWA HIGH SCHOOLS 
 
 A graduate of a public four-year high school in Iowa, who presents 
 fifteen units of work, will be admitted without examinations to such col- 
 legiate work as he is prepared to pursue, upon presenting a certificate 
 signed by the Superintendent or the Principal, specifying the branches of 
 study and credits included within his high school course of study. A 
 graduate of any private four-year high school, seminary, or academy ap- 
 proved by the Board of Secondary School Relations will be admitted on 
 the same basis. 
 
 If a high school graduate does not meet present admission requirements 
 to the course he desires to pursue the deficiency must be removed by 
 studies taken at the College. Credit earned in removing such deficiencies 
 will not be applied toward college graduation in the specific course chosen. 
 
 2. Admission to Graduates of High Schools in Other States 
 
 Graduates of high schools accredited by the state universities or other 
 state accrediting agencies will be admitted by certificate. High school 
 graduates, whose certificates would be accepted without examination by 
 reputable colleges in the state in which they are located, provided these 
 states have no accrediting system, will be admitted by certificate. Gradu- 
 ates of other schools will be required to take entrance examinations. 
 
 3. Admission to Non-graduates of High Schools 
 
 The student not a graduate presenting credits from a public four-year 
 high school or a private four-year high school, academy, or seminary, 
 approved by the Board of Secondary School Relations. 
 
 (A) Such student will not be admitted unless he presents as many as 
 fourteen (14) acceptable units by certificate, by examination, or by both 
 certificate and examination ; and he is to be conditioned to the extent of 
 enough units to bring the number up to fifteen (15) units. These units 
 must be according to specified list of units found under pre-technical work 
 on page 8. 
 
 (B) Entrance conditions must be removed within one calendar year 
 after the student's admission, or before he registers for his second year's 
 work; and the student is to be registered at once for the work in which 
 he is deficient as a part of the normal amount of work allowed to stu- 
 dents. If, however, he shows by the end of the first term that he is an 
 unusually capable student, he may be permitted under the faculty regu- 
 lations to register for additional work during the following term. 
 
 (C) Students admitted with conditions are not to be permitted to re- 
 move these conditions within the allotted one year by taking entrance 
 examinations in subjects in which they have been taking college courses 
 for credit. 
 
 If a student presenting the required entrance credit in a given subject 
 fails to do satisfactory work in the succeeding college course in that 
 subject, he is not be assigned to a pre-technical course in the subject 
 with a view of securing college credit for such pre-technical course. 
 
 4. Admission by Examination and on Other Evidences of Proficiency 
 
 Students who desire to enter by examination and who present satis- 
 factory evidence that they have devoted sufficient time to preparation, will 
 be given examinations in any subject required for entrance. 
 
 Students desiring to enter by examination will be expected to pass 
 examinations in the required and elective subjects, according to work 
 outlined on page 8.

 Regents of the State of New York, may be accepted as are accepted 
 the certificates from our own accredited schools. 
 
 ACADEMIES AND PREPARATORY SCHOOLS 
 
 Credits certified from private secondary schools such as academies and 
 seminaries, and from college preparatory schools, shall be estimated in 
 accordance with the definition of the entrance unit and on the standard of 
 four years of preparation and residence. College academies or prepara- 
 tory departments conforming in their organization with the organization 
 of the four-year accredited high school shall be treated as accredited 
 schools, if the colleges themselves are regarded as standard colleges. 
 
 TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES 
 
 A certain number of entrance units may be granted upon the basis of a 
 First Grade Uniform County Certificate ; and on first grade, second, grade, 
 or life diploma certificates granted by the State. For full information 
 address the Registrar for a special bulletin. 
 
 5. Admission to Advanced Standing for High School Work 
 
 Advanced, or college, credit may be given for extra high school or 
 secondary school work only on the following conditions : 
 
 1. The number of units reported and accepted must be in excess of 
 sixteen (16). 
 
 2. There must be a rigorous examination for college credit. 
 
 ENTRANCE EXAMINATION PROGRAM 
 
 Admission to the entrance examinations is by permit. Permits may be 
 obtained of the Registrar, Room 125, Central Building. 
 
 A representative from each department will conduct the examinations 
 in Room 102, Central Building, on Thursday and Friday preceding classi- 
 fication.

Advanced Standing 
 
 Students of other colleges will be admitted to advanced standing in this 
 college under the following conditions : 
 
 First, they must present a letter of honorable dismissal. 
 
 Second, the entrance requirements to this college must be fully satis- 
 fied (see Admission under Entrance Requirements). 
 
 Third, it is required that all credits from other colleges be sent by the 
 proper officers to such institutions, duly certified, to the Registrar of this 
 College ; such certificates to include number of weeks the student has pur- 
 sued the studies in question and the number of hours' credit received in 
 each semester, as well as the portion of the subject covered. 
 
 No standing shall be accepted from any high school or academy for 
 regular four-year college work. It is the privilege of any student to ask 
 for and receive examination in any subject taught in any department of 
 the College, provided that he can show to the satisfaction of the head of 
 the department that he has made the necessary preparation. 
 
 Students from Other Colleges 
 
 Work of recognized merit that has been taken in colleges and universi- 
 ties of good rank and standing will be credited for an equivalent amount 
 of work so far as it applies in any course offered in this College. 
 
 Students taking work in this way will present official records of their 
 work to the advanced standing committee at the office of the Registrar to 
 ascertain the credits to be allowed. It will be understood between the 
 applicant and the committee that the credits are only provisionally accepted 
 and that their final acceptance depends wholly upon the student main- 
 taining a good average standing for one year at the College. 
 
Fees and Expenses 
 
 The entire expenses of a student need not exceed $500.00 per year. 
 
 Honor Scholarships: The State Board of Education has provided one 
 honor scholarship for each four-year approved high school in the state. 
 This scholarship represents the same value in cash whether presented at 
 the State College or at any one of the other state institutions. It is worth 
 $20.00 for the year, and at the Sate College this amount will be allowed 
 on fees. 
 
 As soon as any school has made its nomination for the scholarship, the 
 school authorities are expected to report the name and address of the 
 nominee, together with a signed certificate of scholarship, to the Secretary 
 of Secondary Schools, State Board of Education, Des Moines, Iowa, who 
 will approve the nomination if the conditions have been met, forward the 
 proper credentials to the candidate, and send the certificate of credits to 
 the institution elected. 
 
 Nominations should be made in June, and must be made not later than 
 August 1st of each year. 
 
 Tuition: The Code of Iowa reads as follows: "The tuition in the 
 College herein established shall be forever free to pupils from the state 
 over sixteen years of age, who have been residents of this state six 
 months previous to their admission." 
 
 To non-resident students a tuition fee of $17.00 per quarter is charged. 
 
 Tuition Scholarships: The form of Tuition Scholarships is intended 
 only for those students from other states, who, without such aid, cannot 
 secure a college education. The conditions on which this aid is granted 
 are as follows: (1) The applicant must be in need of financial assistance; 
 (2) Must be of good moral character; (3) Must give evidence of good 
 preparation ; (4) the recipient must give 1 evidence of ability, by good 
 standing in one of the regular courses leading to the bachelor's degree. 
 
 The aid which is given from the Tuition Scholarships Fund is not 
 regarded as a loan. If a student who receives this aid is able to return 
 the amount in later years, it will be credited to his accounts on the books 
 of the College Treasurer, and the sum will be put into the Tuition 
 Scholarship Fund of the College for the use of future students. 
 
 All applications for these scholarships must be made on the uniform 
 blanks furnished by the President. 
 
 Thirty-eight tuition scholarships are available: eight to each collegiate 
 class, two to sub-collegiate students, and four to students from foreign 
 countries. 
 
 International Scholarships are granted to students from the countries 
 of our allies in the war ; said scholarships to exempt each of such students 
 from the payment of fees and tuition to an amount not to exceed $100 
 annually. 
 
 Incidental and Janitor Fees: The regular incidental and janitor fee 
 for the quarter is $6.00 for all students who complete their classification 
 during the regular classification period. Beginning with the first day on 
 which classes are held, the fee for college students will be $8.00 plus $1.00 
 additional for each day thereafter until the classification is completed. 
 This fee is used as follows: hospital, $2.00; students' repair fund, $1.00; 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 13 
 
 incidental and janitor service, balance. Students who register for part- 
 time work, instead of paying the full incidental and janitor fee, may pay 
 the hospital fee of $2.00, and 50c per credit hour for the hours or fraction 
 of hours work taken. 
 
 All men students (except those in Graduate College) are required to 
 pay a fee of $1.00 per quarter. This fee entitles the student to the general 
 use of the gymnasium including the lockers and shower baths. (Men who 
 are required to classify in Physical Training shall pay a fee of $1.00 per 
 quarter in addition to this fee.) 
 
 If the student severs his connection with the College, he shall obtain an 
 order to settle from the Vice-president, Room 114 Central Building, which 
 order shall be filed with the Treasurer. The refund will be made at the 
 close of the quarter. 
 
 Laboratory Fees: Laboratory fees at the actual cost of breakage and 
 usage are charged to the students, the Treasurer's receipt for such fees 
 being required before the students are admitted to laboratories. For the 
 amount of the fee in any study, see description of the study under its 
 department. All refunds on laboratory fees will be made at the close of 
 the quarter. 
 
 Diploma Fee: A diploma fee of $5.00 is payable before graduation. 
 
 Exemption from Fees: All honorably discharged soldiers and sailors 
 of the World War shall be exempt from fees to the amount of $20 per 
 year, said amount to be divided as follows : $6.00 incidental and janitor 
 fee for the Fall quarter; $6.00 incidental and janitor fee and $1.00 gen- 
 eral physical training fee for the Winter and for the Spring quarters. 
 Students claiming this exemption shall show their discharge papers at the 
 Treasurer's office when they enter college. 
 
 Board and Room: All men students can secure furnished rooms and 
 board in clubs or private families adjacent to the college grounds at $6.00 
 per week. In order that undesirable rooms and houses may be avoided, 
 young men students should consult the Secretary of the Young Men's 
 Christian Association, Alumni Hall, Ames, Iowa. For sanitary or other 
 reasons the college authorities reserve the right to forbid students from 
 rooming in any particular house. 
 
 For the information of students, clubs, and interested private families 
 the Committee on Student Accommodations has prepared standard regu- 
 lations to assist in the management of houses which furnish rooms or 
 board to students. These regulations are for the use of members of the 
 instructional and clerical staffs and other members of the college com- 
 munity when reference to standard practice is desirable. Houses accom- 
 modating both students and others who are not students are expected to 
 observe regulations for houses accommodating students. Copies of these 
 regulations may be secured from the President's office, the Y. M. C. A. 
 Secretary, or the Chairman of the Committee on Student Accommodations. 
 
 Text Books: All text books and stationery may be purchased at the 
 College Book Store at about 20 per cent below the average retail price. 
 
 Note: Prospective Freshmen should carefully consider the cost of the 
 first year. No one should think of entering college unless he has money 
 enough in his own right or from friends to meet his expenses in large part 
 • for his Freshman year. If he goes out of his Freshman year in debt he is 
 quite sure to be seriously embarrassed for the remainder of his college 
 course. Provision hould be made to meet college bills with the same 
 business-like promptness with which one expects to meet other bills. 
 
 Freshman Expenses 
 
 Taking into consideration the items named under Fees and Expenses, 
 the following is an approximate estimate of the expenses of a Freshman 
 for each of three quarters of the college year: 
 
14 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Minimum Maximum 
 
 Amount Amount 
 
 Board (12 weeks) $60.00 $72.00 
 
 Room rent (12 weeks — 2 in a room) 24.00 45.00 
 
 Laundry 6.00 8.50 
 
 Incidental and Janitor Fee. 6.00 8.00 
 
 Laboratory Fees 10.00 17.00 
 
 Books and Equipment 13.00 30.00 
 
 For engineering students, the minimum estimate should be increased 
 fifteen dollars, under Books and Equipment, for drawing instruments and 
 material. 
 
 All men pay a general Physical Training fee of $1.00 per quarter. 
 
 Members of the R. O. T. C. will have their uniforms furnished by the 
 government. All other students will receive information as to prices from 
 the commanding officer of the Military department. 
 
 In addition to these items, at the beginning of the Freshman year each 
 man student will be required to purchase a gymnasium suit for $5.00; 
 and each woman student a gymnasium suit for $7.50. 
 
 The student is also advised to purchase a student's activity ticket and 
 to pay class dues. 
 
 The military and gymnasium suits and drawing equipment will be ser- 
 viceable for the entire course. 
 
 If a student is non-resident of the state, $17.00 per quarter should be 
 added for tuition. 
 
 The incidental and janitor fee, laboratory fees, books and equipment, 
 gymnasium outfit, and some payment toward room rent and board are 
 required in advance. 
 
Classification and Standing 
 
 Junior and Senior College: The students are classified in junior and 
 Senior colleges. The Junior college is composed of all students in the 
 Freshman and Sophomore years ; the Senior college, of all students in the 
 Junior and Senior years. 
 
 Amount of Work: The amount of work in each course is expressed 
 in credits, a credit meaning one recitation a week, or its equivalent, 
 throughout the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or 
 lecture will require as much time including preparation as a three-hour 
 laboratory, and therefore it is given the same credit. Any two-hour 
 laboratory period is equivalent to two-thirds of a three-hour laboratry.- 
 
 Number of Credits: No student shall be allowed to classify in more 
 credits than are specified in the catalogue for the quarter of the course 
 taken, unless he has an exceptionally high record in his previous college 
 work, and then only after consent is secured from the classifying Dean 
 and the Head of the Department concerned. The student will be allowed 
 to drop such extra work only upon permission of the classifying Dean ; he 
 will be required to drop it in case this or any other work in his schedule 
 is being carried unsatisfactorily. A "condition" or a "not pass" secured in 
 such extra work shall stand as a record, and shall be considered in choos- 
 ing fraternity members, but an elective shall not be held against the stu- 
 dent for graduation. 
 
 In general, students failing in any portion of a quarter's work will not 
 be allowed to take full classification for the next quarter. 
 
 Classification: No student shall be admitted to any class or dropped 
 from it, except by authority of the classifying officer. 
 
 Conflicts: Students shall not classify in conflicting studies without the 
 approval of the classifying officer. 
 
 Standings: All the standings are based on the scale of 100. The 
 passing grade is 75. A student receiving from 60 to 74 per cent inclusive 
 in any course is conditioned, and allowed to make up the condition under 
 the direction of the head of the department. 
 
 Back Studies: Students shall be classified in back studies in all cases 
 in which such studies are taught, subject to the first rule under Number 
 of Credits. Any exception to this rule must be for good and sufficient 
 reason, approved by the President of the College and the Dean. 
 
 Changing Course : A student will not be permitted to change from one 
 course to another who has a "condition" or "not pass" in a subject not 
 common to the two courses ; or if he has more than one "condition" or 
 "not pass" in subjects common to the two courses. 
 
 Senior Year: No student shall be considered a candidate for gradua- 
 tion who at the beginning of the Spring quarter of the Senior year has 
 more than twenty hours of work to complete his course of study. If the 
 uncompleted work is not offered in the Spring quarter, it shall be passed 
 and reported to the Recorder not later than April 1st. 
 
Division of Veterinary Medicine 
 
 Dean Stange, Veterinary Building 
 Vice-Dean Bemis, Veterinary Building 
 
 The Division of Veterinary Medicine offers the following courses : 
 
 Four-Year Course: Veterinary Medicine p. 17 
 
 Six-Year Course: Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine p. 20 
 
 Six- Year Course: Science and Veterinary Medicine p. 18 
 
 The Division of Veterinary Medicine offers a four-year course leading 
 to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and combined six-year 
 courses with either the Division of Industrial Science or the Department 
 of Animal Husbandry, and leading to both B. Sc. and D. V. M. degrees. 
 The Veterinary Division consists of five educational departments, the head 
 of each department being a man of broa'd experience in the particular 
 branches of medical science which the department represents. 
 
 The following departments are included in the Division : 
 
 Department of Anatomy p. 20 
 
 Department of Pathology and Bacteriology p. 22 
 
 Department of Physiology and Pharmacology p. 23: 
 
 Department of Surgery p. 24 
 
 Department of Medicine p. 21 
 
 The faculty of the Division of Veterinary Medicine consists of the 
 Dean of the Division, together with the professors at the head of depart- 
 ments, the associate and assistant professors in the departments, and in- 
 structors. Representatives (to the number indicated) of the following 
 departments outside of the Veterinary Division, in which the veterinary 
 students do a part of their work, are considered members of the Veteri- 
 nary faculty: Chemistry (1), Botany (1), Animal Husbandry (1), Dairy 
 (1), English and Economic Science (1), and Zoology (1). 
 
 Aside from the strictly educational departments in the Division, there 
 is also the Department of Research in Animal Diseases which gives the 
 student rare opportunity to .observe that phase of veterinary science in 
 which this department is engaged. 
 
 Aside from the facilities which belong especially to the Veterinary 
 Division, the equipment for instruction in animal husbandry, consisting 
 of large flocks and herds of carefully selected breeds of live stock, helps 
 to render practical instruction very efficient. The most perfect types of 
 the different breeds are used -for class work. In this way the work in 
 veterinary medicine is linked with that in agriculture, an arrangement 
 which proves to be of inestimable value to veterinarians. The fact that 
 the College is located in the richest live stock country in the world pro- 
 vides a rare opportunity for the veterinary student to study this phase of 
 animal industry; it also enables him to observe a wealth of clinical cases 
 both at the College Hospital, and under general practice conditions by 
 means of the Ambulatory Clinic. 
 
 Work in Botany, Chemistry, Zoology, and other related sciences is 
 adequately provided for in the special buildings for the accommodation 
 of these several departments of college work. Each branch of study is 
 presented to the student by a specialist. 
 
 Candidates for graduation must be twenty-one years of age, of good 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 17 
 
 character, and must have passed examinations in all the required subjects 
 in the course, to secure the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 The following are a few of the many openings available to graduates: 
 
 General Practice: In view of the fact that the national live stock 
 valuation is estimated at $5,008, 327, 000, it becomes obvious that the gradu- 
 ate possessing fitness and aptitude for live stock work will meet with a 
 ready demand and receive substantial compensation for his services. 
 
 Bureau of Animal Industry: Veterinarians are in demand for in- 
 spection work in the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Depart- 
 ment of Agriculture, at substantial salaries. 
 
 Army Veterinary Service: Excellent opportunities are now offered 
 to young veterinarians in the United States Army. The Army Veterinary 
 Corps is organized as a part of the Medical Department of the Army, and 
 army veterinarians receive the rank, pay, and allowances of commissioned 
 army officers, entering with the rank of lieutenant at $1,700 per year, with 
 excellent opportunity for advancement in rank, with corresponding in- 
 creases in salary and allowances. These positions are very desirable, and 
 include a wide range of professional work. 
 
 Municipal and State Work: Owing to the fact that the larger cities 
 are rapidly inaugurating systems of milk and meat inspection, there is an 
 increasing demand for competent veterinarians drilled in bacteriology and 
 pathology. A large number of State positions are also open, on account 
 of the rigid laws governing inter-state shipment of live stock which are 
 being enacted by the various states. 
 
 Sanitation: The value of the educated veterinarian as a sanitarian is 
 being recognized and positions are open in this field. 
 
 Education and Research: The demand for men capable of doing in- 
 vestigation work in animal diseases, associated work in connection with 
 State Experiment Stations, and of filling various teaching positions in 
 agricultural and veterinary colleges, has been greater than the supply. 
 
 Commercial Work: The lines of commercial work which demand 
 trained veterinarians are increasing yearly. These include positions with 
 railway companies, live stock concerns, in biological laboratories, pharma- 
 ceutical houses, etc. The demand for qualified veterinarians exceeds the 
 supply, and many graduates go directly from college to positions paying 
 $150 per month and upward.

 Course in Industrial Science and Veterinary Medicine (six years) 
 
 Leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science and the degree of Doctor 
 of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 The following course is designed to meet the need of those students 
 who wish to secure a thorough foundation in the biological and chemical 
 sciences preliminary to the studying of veterinary medicine. The degree 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 
 
 19 
 
 of Bachelor of Science is granted at the end of the fourth year, and the 
 degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine upon the completion of the sixth 
 year. The increased time at the disposal of the student gives an oppor- 
 tunity to prepare himself efficiently for investigational work. 
 
 At the present time the better colleges granting degrees in human medi- 
 cine require two years of collegiate preparation. Veterinary Medicine is 
 quite as exacting in its requirements of students, particularly those who 
 wish to go into governmental or research work. The opportunities open 
 to students well grounded both in science and in veterinary medicine are 
 excellent. Many positions in the Bureau of Animal Industry of the De- 
 partment of Agriculture, in the experiment stations of our land grant col- 
 leges, and in the teaching staffs of our various veterinary schools and 
 agricultural colleges, are opened every year. It has been in the past prac- 
 tically impossible to secure men with the right training. This course is 
 designed to train men for such positions.

 course in veterinary medicine not already taken shall be completed (ex- 
 cepting Chemistry 511, 821, 822, and Zoology la, lb). 
 
 3. English 441 or English 442 and at least fifteen hours of free elec- 
 tives, i. e., subjects not required of students pursuing the four-year course 
 in Veterinary Medicine, shall be completed. 
 
 The degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred upon fulfillment of 
 the preceding requirements. 
 
 FIFTH AND SIXTH YEARS 
 
 The student will classify with the Dean of Veterinary Medicine as a 
 Senior college student in Veterinary Medicine. He shall outline his course 
 in conformity with the following requirements : 
 
 1. A minimum of 18 hours per quarter shall be carried. 
 
 2. All subjects of the Junior and Senior years of the four-year course 
 in Veterinary Medicine shall be completed. 
 
 3. Free electives shall be chosen to fill the number of credit hours to 
 the required 18. 
 
 The degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine will be conferred upon the 
 fulfillment of the preceding requirements. 
 
 Course in Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine 
 
 On account of the demand for a course offering degrees in both Animal 
 Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, a combined course has been outlined 
 so that the student pursuing this course may receive both degrees in six 
 years. 
 
 Short Course for Practitioners in Veterinary Medicine 
 
 It is proposed to arrange the course so that practitioners may spend a 
 few days at Ames and get the latest and best that is being made available 
 in any state or country. 
 
 Definition of a Credit: The amount of work in each study is ex- 
 pressed in credits, a credit meaning one recitation or its equivalent a week 
 throughout the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or 
 lecture will require as much time including preparation as a three-hour 
 laboratory, and therefore should be given the same credit. Any two-hour 
 laboratory period is equivalent to two-thirds of a three-hour laboratory. 
 
 Study Numbers: In each department the studies, for convenience of 
 reference, are given in numerical order.

 For information concerning the Division of Veterinary Medicine, see 
 page 16. 
 
 The Department of Anatomy gives instruction in anatomy to students in 
 either Veterinary Medicine or Animal Husbandry. The laboratories are 
 well equipped. In histology and osteology each student is assigned an indi- 
 vidual desk provided with a microscope, 100 permanent mounts of tissue, 
 laboratory notes, and one-half skeleton of disarticulated bones of the horse 
 The dissecting room is modern, sanitary, and well equipped. All cadavers 
 are preserved. Students in Animal Husbandry prepare for their work ir 
 nutrition and stock judging. Veterinary students should have a detailec 
 knowledge of the structure of the domestic animals and birds to under 
 stand properly Physiology, Pathology, Diagnosis, Surgery, and Medicine. 
 
 The following methods are used in teaching anatomy: didactic instruc

 tion, quiz, specimen demonstration, specimen study, lantern slide demon- 
 strations, dissection, sketching, the use of the living horse for palpating 
 and outlining the structures. A large and well selected number of speci- 
 mens and lantern slides is used in the class and laboratory demonstrations 
 to emphasize the most important structures and their relations from a 
 clinical standpoint. These are also available for student use. In the lab- 
 oratory special attention is given to fascial compartments, joint pouchings, 
 vaginal sheaths, bursae, and topography. Class work in splanchnology also 
 covers the microscopic anatomy. 
 
 The class work is mostly quizzes, with supplemental statements and 
 demonstrations by the instructors to fix the knowledge of the structures 
 of the animal body gained in the laboratory by the student.

 The study of medicine summarizes and shows the application in practice 
 of the training previously received in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, 
 Bacteriology, and Therapeutics. The work is given in the form of 
 lectures and clinical demonstrations and extends throughout the Junior 
 and Senior years. Diagnostic methods employed in the detection of animal 
 diseases are carried out by each student on the various organs and systems 
 of the different species of animals. The surrounding community furnishes 
 an abundance of material for such work. When cases cannot be brought 
 to the hospital, students are taken to the farms and given actual practice 
 in the diagnosis and treatment of the cases under the direct supervision of 
 
22 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 an experienced member of the faculty. The latter arrangement provides a 
 large variety of cases and gives opportunity to observe both healthy and 
 diseased animals under natural farm conditions and the student is taught 
 how to overcome difficulties frequently met with on farms where facilities 
 are restricted. 
 
 Infectious diseases are considered in detail, diagnosis and methods of 
 control being especially emphasized. 
 
 General sanitation and hygiene are taken up with special reference to 
 the most practical means of keeping animals in health and preventing dis- 
 eases. 
 
 On completion of the Senior year the student has not only the theo- 
 retical knowledge, but some of the most practical methods of applying such 
 knowledge. The transition from the student to the practitioner presents 
 little difficulty after such training.

 The Department of Veterinary Pathology and Bacteriology occupies the 
 northeast building of the veterinary group. Two offices open directly into 
 a private laboratory that is used by those in charge to investigate problems 
 pertaining to their lines of work. A large general student laboratory 
 facing the north, east, and west is well lighted and supplied with individual 
 equipment for a section of thirty students. A pathology preparation room, 
 a bacteriology preparation room and room-incubator open into the main 
 laboratory. A class lecture room to accomodate fifty students is equipped 
 with a combination lantern-slide, microscopic projection, and photomicro- 
 graphic machine. In the basement are six rooms for the housing of small 
 experimental animals, for the preparation and mounting of museum speci- 
 mens, and for storage of supplies, and a large storage room for museum 
 specimens used by the department. 
 
 The work of the department consists of a systematic study of the 
 causes of disease and the manner in which these causes bring about altera- 
 tions in the anatomical structure and chemical and physiological activities 
 of animal tissues. The application of this studv renders diagnosis more 
 accurate and forms the foundation for rational therapeutics.

 The southeast building of the Veterinary group is devoted to work in 
 Physiology, Pharmacy, Materia Medica, and Therapeutics. This building 
 was planned for the investigation and teaching of physiological -and phar- 
 macological subjects, and is admirably arranged and equipped for the 
 pursuance of general or research work along these lines. 
 
 In the general laboratories, students are provided with individual equip- 
 ment as far as possible, and thus self-reliance and individual responsibility 
 are developed. The laboratories have been newly equipped and are thor- 
 oughly up-to-date. The latest apparatus for practical physiological, phar- 
 macological, or pharmaceutical demonstration and laboratory work is 
 available. 
 
 Before attempting a proper conception of diseased conditions it is 
 necessary to have an understanding of the normal functions of the body 
 structures. The purpose of the work in Physiology is to make a detailed 
 study of the normal functions and activities of the cells, tissues, organs, 
 and systems constituting the animal body. The work is presented in the 
 form of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and practical laboratory 
 work in which the chemical and physical processes of the animal body are 
 
24 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 considered in logical order. The lecture work is supplemented by the use 
 of dissected specimens, practical demonstrations, and drawings. The 
 laboratory work is devoted to the study of the respiratory, circulatory,, 
 muscular, and nervous systems ; also digestion and absorption, and the 
 circulating fluids of the body. 
 
 As Pharmacy and Materia Medica are prerequisite to Therapeutics, 
 these subjects are considered in the order named; the work is presented 
 as lectures, recitations, laboratory, and demonstration work.

 The Department of Surgery is especially well equipped for its teaching. 
 The hospital is 160 feet long by 60 feet wade, has a stall capacity for 42 
 large animals, 22 dogs, and other small animals, and contains three operat- 
 ing rooms. The largest, 65 by 30 feet, is used for examining animals as 
 they are admitted, and for minor operations and treatment. Joining it is 
 a clinical amphitheatre ; next to this is the third operating room for large 
 animals, equipped with a hydraulic operating table, X-ray apparatus, and 
 other conveniences. Between the operating room and clinic room is a dis- 
 pensary and instrument room. On the upper floor, near the kennels, is a 
 small animal operating room equipped with w-hite enamel furniture; also 
 operating instruments and modern steam sterilizers for water, instruments, 
 and dressings.

DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 25 
 
 During the school year more than eight thousand cases, including a 
 wide range of surgical conditions, are operated upon and treated in the 
 clinics, each case being assigned to a Senior student with one or more 
 Junior assistants. All operations are performed by the professors in 
 charge, and the after treatment is always under their direction, the idea 
 being that the clinical cases are in no way experimental, but that they shall 
 be treated as similar cases are to be treated later in practice. 
 
 All the class room work in surgery is conducted in the amphitheatre in 
 the hospital building, where animals affected with conditions under discus- 
 sion as well as instruments and apparatus to be used in diagnosis, treat- 
 ment, or restraint, can be brought before the class. Clinic cases are 
 constantly used to correlate the theoretical and the practical.

 The department is being supported by special appropriations made by 
 the legislature, and laboratories and experimental animal rooms are 
 equipped for this special work. There are but few animal diseases 
 entirely understood, and many are understood in no particular. It is the 
 object of this department to investigate such diseases with the view of 
 working out some method by which they can be controlled or eradicated. 
 
 One feature of the work of this department is the diagnosis of disease 
 by laboratory methods and examination of tissues. Veterinarians and 
 livestock owners are encouraged to send to the laboratory tissues and 
 
26 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 materials from doubtful cases. Careful and painstaking examination of 
 these is made, and animal inoculations are carried out for those cases 
 which promise something new or rare. Reports of such examinations are 
 submitted to the sender, and his cooperation is solicited in working out 
 the cases. Accurate records of such work are kept on file in the labora- 
 tory and are available to members of the Veterinary Division at all times 
 for their study and use. Thus the work of the department supports the 
 instruction work and assists in keeping such instruction modern. 
 
 VETERINARY MEDICAL SOCIETY 
 
 The Veterinary Medical Society is an organization of veterinary stu- 
 dents. Two meetings are held each month and topics relating to veter- 
 inary medicine are discussed. All veterinary students become members 
 and much benefit is derived along literary, social and professional lines.

General Information 
 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 
 The laws of the United States and State of Iowa provide for the scope 
 and the management of the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 
 Arts. It is under the State Board of Education, which consists of nine 
 men nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. This 
 Board appoints a finance committee consisting of three men who give 
 their entire time to the management of the four state educational institu- 
 tions of Iowa, of which the Board is in charge, under provision of the 
 law and such rules and regulations as the State Board of Education may 
 prescribe. 
 
 GOVERNMENT 
 
 The character of the College buildings and the nature of the work 
 make order, punctuality, and systematic effort indispensable. The insti- 
 tution offers no inducement to the idler or the self-indulgent. All who are 
 too independent to submit to needful authority, too reckless to accept 
 wholesome restraint, or too careless to take advantage of their opportuni- 
 ties, are advised not to come. The discipline of the College is confined 
 mainly to sending away those who prove, on fair trial, to be of this class. 
 The final decision of all cases of discipline rests with the President of the 
 College except when he delegates such power in particular cases to the 
 deans or to some one of the standing committees of the faculty. A student 
 senate has been organized to make recommendations to the President. 
 
 HISTORY 
 
 An act establishing "A State Agricultural College and Model Farm" to 
 be connected with the entire agricultural interests of the state was passed 
 by the legislature of Iowa in 1858. This legislature also appointed a board 
 of commissioners to buy a farm and erect a college building, and selected 
 a board of trustees to secure a faculty and organize a college. In 1859 a 
 farm of six hundred and forty acres situated near Ames was purchased. 
 
 In 1862 Congress enacted, and President Lincoln signed, a bill entitled, 
 "An act donating public lands to the several States and Territories, which 
 may provide colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic 
 Arts." 
 
 Section 1 of this act provides that for the support of such colleges 
 there be granted "an amount of public land, to be apportioned to each 
 State in quantity equal to thirty thousand acres for each Senator and 
 Representative in Congress to which the States are respectively entitled 
 by the apportionment under the census of 1860." 
 
 Section 4 requires : "That all moneys derived from the sale of land shall 
 constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain forever un- 
 diminished, and the interest of which shall inviolably be apportioned by 
 each State which may take and claim the benefit of this act, to the endow- 
 ment, support, and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading 
 object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and 
 including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related 
 
30 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislature 
 of the State may provide, in order to promote the liberal and practical 
 education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions 
 of life." 
 
 The General Assembly of Iowa, September 11, 1862, accepted the grant 
 upon the conditions and under the restrictions contained in the act of 
 Congress, and by so doing entered into contract with the General Gov- 
 ernment to erect and keep in repair all buildings necessary for the use of 
 the College. By action of the General Assembly the College was changed 
 from an agricultural institution into a College of Agriculture and Me- 
 chanic Arts with the broad and liberal course of study outlined in the 
 following paragraph. The College was formally opened on the seven- 
 teenth day of March, 1869. 
 
 In 1884 the General Assembly passed an act defining the course of study 
 to be pursued as follows: "Section 1. That Section 1621 of the Code is 
 hereby repealed and the following is enacted in lieu thereof : 'Section 1621. 
 There shall be adopted and taught in the State Agricultural College, a 
 broad, liberal and practical course of study, in which the leading branches 
 of learning shall relate to agriculture and the mechanic arts and which 
 shall also embrace such other branches of learning as will most practically 
 and liberally educate the agricultural and industrial classes in the several 
 pursuits and professions of life, including military tactics. Section 2. 
 That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby re- 
 pealed.' " 
 
 August thirtieth the following act was approved by President Harrison : 
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
 States in Congress assembled, that there shall be and hereby is, annually 
 appropriated, out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropri- 
 ated, arising from the sales of public lands, to be paid, as hereinafter 
 provided, to each State and Territory for the more complete endowment 
 and maintenance of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the me- 
 chanic arts now established, or which may hereafter be established, in 
 accordance with an act of Congress approved July second, eighteen hun- 
 dred and sixty-two, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the year end- 
 ing June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety, and an annual increase of 
 the amount of such appropriation thereafter for ten years by an additional 
 sum of one thousand dollars over the preceding year, and the annual 
 amount to be paid thereafter to each State and Territory shall be twenty- 
 five thousand dollars, to be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the 
 mechanic arts, the English language and the various branches of math- 
 ematical, physical, natural and economic sciences, with especial reference 
 to their application in the industries of life, and to facilities for such in- 
 struction." 
 
 The income of the College from national and state sources is therefore 
 expended in instruction, experimentation, and illustration in agriculture 
 and in the mechanic arts, and in the underlying and related sciences and 
 literature. All buildings are erected and all repairs thereon are made by 
 the State of Iowa. 
 
 The college property is valued at $4,546,918.86. 
 
 LOCATION 
 
 The College occupies a delightful and healthful location upon high, 
 rolling land in the west part of Ames, Story County. Situated at the 
 junction of the north and south branch and the main double-track line of 
 the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, and connected with all the trunk 
 lines of Iowa, Ames is easily accessible from all parts of the state. An 
 electric railway connects Ames and the College. The Fort Dodge, Des 
 Moines and Southern Railway (electric), with stations on the campus, 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 31 
 
 gives efficient service at the College and connections with the following 
 trunk lines: At Fort Dodge, with the Illinois Central and Chicago Great 
 Western ; at Huxley, with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ; at Des 
 Moines with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago Great West- 
 ern, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 
 
 Ames is a most desirable town for wholesome college influences. Its 
 people are thrifty, enterprising, and cordial. The town has an excellent 
 system of public schools, numerous churches, waterworks, and electric 
 lights, and it also has a good city government. It is an inviting commu- 
 nity for families who wish to educate their children and enjoy a good 
 environment at a reasonable expense. Ames and the College are on very 
 cordial terms, and its citizens seek to promote the efforts of the students 
 and the highest interests of the College. 
 
 GROUNDS 
 
 Of the entire College domain of 1,355 acres, 125 acres are set apart for 
 College grounds. These include the experimental plots, the young for- 
 estry plantations, the surroundings of professors' dwellings, and the cen- 
 tral campus with its beautiful walks and drives, its trees, shrubbery, and 
 flower gardens, and its large and stately buildings. The true principles of 
 landscape gardening have been so faithfully observed in the gardening 
 and in the location of buildings and drives as to make the entire campus 
 a large and beautiful park. 
 
 BUILDINGS 
 
 Fifty-five commodious buildings besides the dwellings houses and the 
 buildings for farm stock, machinery, and work, have been erected by the 
 State for the exclusive use of the various departments of the College. 
 All of these buildings are heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and sup- 
 plied with pure water. 
 
 The map in the front of this catalog gives a list of the buildings and 
 their location on the campus.

 EMPLOYMENT FOR STUDENTS 
 
 Although this institution is not situated in a large center where there is 
 an unlimited amount of employment for students, yet there are a large 
 
32 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 number who can earn a part of their expenses here at College. Very few 
 are able to make all their expenses, and no young man should come ex- 
 pecting to do this unless he has made definite arrangements previous to 
 his coming. 
 
 The work available for students consists of employment in the various 
 departments, such as office work, caring for stock, helping in dairy, green 
 houses, orchards, shops, or janitor work about the buildings. Consider- 
 able work for students is also obtained in the business houses and homes 
 of Ames ; a limited number find employment in student clubs and in the 
 cafeteria. 
 
 The Employment Bureaus are managed as follows : For men, by the 
 Young Men's Christian Association. Regular work for women, Miss 
 Harwood, Adviser to women; odd hour jobs for women, the Young 
 Women's Christian Association. The heads of various departments are 
 able to secure employment for large numbers of students during the sum- 
 mer vacation. Such positions give the students practical work that is 
 closely related to the instruction given in college, and thereby strengthen 
 them for service after graduation. 
 
 During the present year several hundred students have found work 
 through the Association Employment Bureaus. It is suggested that, on 
 account of the heavy laboratory work required in the courses here, stu- 
 dents should not come expecting to put in too much time in labor. Facts 
 regarding opportunity for work at the College can be had by writing 
 Secretary, Y. M. C. A., or Secretary, Y. W. C. A., or Miss Hazel Har- 
 wood. 
 
 Manual Labor 
 
 The following regulations in regard to manual labor have been adopted 
 by the Board of Education : 
 
 1. The manual labor of students is divided into two kinds : uninstructive 
 labor, which shall be paid for in money ; and instructive labor, which shall 
 be compensated by the instruction given and the skill acquired. 
 
 2: Uninstructive labor shall comprise all the operations in the work- 
 shop, the garden, upon the farm, and elsewhere, in which the work done 
 accrues to the benefit of the College, and not to that of the student. In- 
 structive labor shall embrace all those operations in the workshop, museum, 
 laboratories, veterinary hospital, experimental kitchen, gardens, experi- 
 mental stations, and on the farm, — labor in which the sole purpose is the 
 acquisition of knowledge and skill. 
 
 3. Students shall engage in instructive labor in the presence of the 
 professor in charge, and under his instruction according to the statement 
 made in each of the courses of study. 
 
 The compensated labor furnished by the divisions of Agriculture, of 
 Veterinary Medicine, and of Engineering, is given by each to its own 
 students and is eagerly sought. Compensated labor is awarded to the most 
 faithful and meritorious students in each department. This labor is paid 
 for according to its value to the College, but no student should expect to 
 pay the main part of his expenses bv labor while here. The College can- 
 not furnish the work, and, even if it could, the student's time is needed 
 chiefly for study. Still, many worthy and industrious students pay a con- 
 siderable part of their expenses by labor; over $25,000 is paid out by the 
 College thus each year to students and graduate assistants. 
 
 HOSPITAL 
 
 Sanitary conditions surrounding the College are excellent. The build- 
 ings are situated on high ground with good natural drainage. The water 
 supply is exceptionally pure and abundant. The sewer system and sewage 
 disposal plant are the best that modern sanitary engineering can devise. 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 33 
 
 Nevertheless in this, as in other like institutions, where students are drawn 
 from a wide territory, various diseases are brought by the students them- 
 selves. In order to control epidemics and properly to care for other cases 
 of illness or injury, a hospital is provided. A new hospital of 45 beds 
 capacity with a large dispensatory and all modern conveniences has been 
 constructed. In connection with this is the old hospital of 18 beds for 
 special cases. This hospital is under the charge of the College physician, 
 assisted by four registered nurses, a competent housekeeper and helper, 
 and two student hospital assistants. 
 
 The expenses of the hospital are defrayed from a fund accruing from 
 the fees paid by students. The privileges of the hospital are extended to 
 all students who pay the full incidental fee of $6.00 or more per quarter, 
 provided that the physician shall be paid for calls at their residences. Per- 
 sons not making the deposit will be admitted to the hospital upon the basis 
 of a charge of $21.00 a week, within the discretion of the College physi- 
 cian. All students who pay the full regular fees are insured medical 
 attendance, nursing, and medicine, in illness or accident ; and consultation 
 and medicine for minor ailments in accordance with the regulations here- 
 in published. The charges named are based upon the probable actual cost 
 of medical attention and hospital service, and the fund created is care- 
 fully devoted to these purposes. The College cannot assume any liability 
 beyond the extent of the fund so created. The hospital has proved to be a 
 great blessing to the students. 
 
 The following regulations apply to the privileges of the hospital : 
 
 1. Students entering the hospital shall be charged $8.50 a week ($1.25 
 per day) for board, room, light and heat. But for any time in excess of 
 three consecutive weeks spent in the hospital, a charge shall be made of 
 $1.50 per day. 
 
 2. In case a special nurse or physician is employed, the expense shall be 
 borne by the particular patient, the selection of such nurse or physician to 
 be approved by the President of the College and the College Physician. 
 
 3. The College assumes no responsibility whatever in case of smallpox; 
 nor shall the privileges of the hospital be extended to such cases. 
 
 4. The President and the College physician may require of students 
 entering the College a certificate of a reputable physician showing success- 
 ful vaccination. On account of prevalence of small-pox in some locali- 
 ties in the United States, it is strongly urged that all students entering 
 Iowa State College be vaccinated before leaving home. This is recom- 
 mended in order that valuable time may not be lost during the college year 
 by the necessity of being vaccinated. 
 
 5. The College physician is authorized to exclude from the College 
 dormitories and recitation rooms any person afflicted with a contagious 
 disease. 
 
 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 
 
 
 The Alumni Association of the Iowa State College was organized in 
 1876. Its purpose is to promote the highest interest of the institution and 
 to increase friendship and sympathy among students and alumni. 
 
 The present officers of the association are : 
 
 Honorary President, E. W. Stanton, 72, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 President, Roy F. O'Donnell, '08, Mason City, Iowa. 
 
 Vice-President, Claire Currie, '05, Webster City, Iowa. 
 
 Recording Secretary, Mary (Davidson) Budge, '05, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 Treasurer, Herman Knapp, '83, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 General Secretary, Ward M. Jones, '97, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 The annual meeting and banquet is held commencement week. A local 
 
34 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 association was organized at Ames in April, 1903, in order to arrange the 
 annual meetings and to keep the local alumni in touch with one another. 
 
 Active local branches of the general association exist in Southern and 
 Northern California, Washington, D. C, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, 
 Seattle, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Omaha, New York City, Kansas City, 
 Detroit, Spokane, and Oklahoma City ; in the state, at Des Moines, Sioux 
 City, Davenport, Waterloo, and in several counties. 
 
 The Alumnus, the official organ of the association, appears monthly 
 except in August and September. It is under the supervision of the gen- 
 eral secretary. 
 
 The offices of the association are on the second floor of Alumni Hall, 
 where all alumni and ex-students will find a hearty welcome. 
 
 STUDENT PUBLICATIONS 
 
 The I. S. C. Student is a tri-weekly newspaper published by a staff 
 appointed from the student body and devoted to the news of the College. 
 
 The Bomb is an annual published by the Junior class. 
 
 The Iowa Agriculturist is an agricultural monthly magazine published 
 by the students of the Agricultural Division, in cooperation with the 
 Department of Agricultural Journalism. 
 
 The Iowa Engineer is published monthly by the Engineering Society. 
 
 PUBLIC SPEAKING COUNCIL 
 
 The Public Speaking Council is an organization composed of three 
 faculty members recommended by the President of the College and 
 appointed by the Board of Education ; and one representative from each 
 of the ten literary societies, the Sophomore, the Junior, and the Senior 
 classes, ^.and the Dramatic Club. The Council promotes and manages all 
 dramatic and public speaking activities at Iowa State College. These 
 activities include intersociety and intercollegiate debates, dramatic, ora- 
 torical, and extempore speaking contests, joint literary society programs, 
 literary society graduation exercises, and all class plays. 
 
 Teams of three members from each of the societies meet in two series 
 of debates during the fall quarter. In the spring the successive winners 
 meet in the semifinal and final debates for the Kennedy cup. The final 
 winners are awarded the cup for one year, and the name of their society 
 is inscribed upon it. This series of debates offers excellent training for 
 the intercollegiate debates. Iowa State College is a member of two 
 debating leagues. In the fall two debating teams of three students meet 
 Kansas Agricultural College ; in the spring, Purdue University and Michi- 
 gan Agricultural College. 
 
 There is a growing interest in extemporaneous speaking in Iowa State 
 College. The members of the faculty have donated to the Council a 
 trophy to be awarded annually to the winner of the extempore speaking 
 contest. 
 
 The Sophomore, Junior, Senior, inter-literary socitey, and dramatic club 
 plays offer training in dramatics to a great many students. The funds 
 from these plays pay a large part of the expenses of public speaking 
 events. 
 
 LITERARY SOCIETIES 
 
 The work of the ten literary societies serves not only to supplement the 
 social and literary work of the College, but also to aid the student in 
 securing that training so necessary to enable him to appear before an 
 audience, that training which every student needs and which cannot be 
 secured in the class room alone. Every student is invited, even urged, to 
 join one of these societies.

 Fina C. Ott, General Secretary, Y. W. C. A. 
 
 The college life is permeated with religious influences. The following 
 re among the more evident moral and religious forces in operation 
 iroughout the year : 
 
 1. The Sunday Morning Chapel Services are held in Agricultural 
 fall auditorium and are addressed by prominent clergymen of all deno- 
 
36 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 initiations who accept special invitiations to come to the College for this 
 purpose. These services are well attended. Often the hall is filled to its 
 capacity of nearly 900. An attractive feature is the music furnished by a 
 choir of College students. 
 
 2. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are quartered in Alumni 
 Hall on the campus and have regular secretaries. Last year over 85% of 
 the young women students belonged to their association. The associations 
 conduct Bible classes in sororities, fraternities, and boarding houses, 
 These classes are well attended. Special religious services are held under 
 the direction of prominent Association leaders. 
 
 There are in active operation a Catholic Students' Association, a Luther 
 League, Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Epworth League, Baptist Young 
 People's Union, and Christian Endeavor Societies. 
 
 3. College Pastors. Four churches now maintain college pastors at 
 Ames, the Methodist, the Presbyterian, the Congregational, and Episcopal. 
 These men work in conjunction with their churches and with the religious 
 organizations on the campus. They are exerting a helpful influence. 
 
 4. There are ten different denominational churches in Ames, all of 
 which are in touch with the students, who are cordially invited to ta]<e 
 part in all religious services.

Admission to College 
 
 Every student entering college must file an official statement of his 
 previous educational work. Applications for credential blanks and all 
 communications with regard to admission should be addressed to the 
 Registrar. Official high school records should be filed with the Registrar 
 at the close of the school year, if possible, and not later than the first 
 Monday in September, December, or March. The Registrar will deter- 
 mine the value of all credentials and will notify the applicant of their 
 acceptance. He will also assign the applicant for admission to his position 
 in the course desired. Continuance in such assignment will be conditioned 
 upon the student's doing creditable work. 
 
 Applicants for admission to all collegiate courses should be at least 
 sixteen years of age. 
 
 Students may enter the College at the beginning of any quarter. Those 
 wishing to enter at the beginning of the second or third quarter should 
 find out from the Registrar whether entrance at that time is feasible in 
 their case. The regular classes begin with the opening in September and 
 the student is urged to commence at that time. Some Freshman subjects 
 are, however, begun in each quarter. The College desires to emphasize 
 the importance of thorough preparation, particularly in subjects that are 
 to be continued in College. Since without thorough preparation satisfac- 
 tory progress is impossible, students are urged to review carefully, before 
 entering College, algebra through quadratics and English composition and 
 grammar. Those desiring admission should examine Requirements for 
 Admission, below. 
 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 
 Definition of a Unit 
 
 The requirements for admission are stated in terms of units. A unit is 
 defined as the equivalent of one high school study satisfactorily pursued 
 during one school year at least thirty-six weeks in length, on the basis of 
 five recitations a week, the course of study for which the student is 
 registered requiring no more than four studies or twenty recitation periods 
 a week. The length of the recitation period shall be at least forty minutes 
 and the laboratory period shall be twice this length. A unit is equivalent 
 to two semester credits. 
 
 PRE-TECHNICAL WORK 
 
 The following studies are necessary prerequisites to the taking of the 
 collegiate courses outlined in this catalogue. 
 
 For the Divisions of Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, In- 
 dustrial Science and Veterinary Medicine, viz. : 
 
 (A) ENGLISH, three (3) units. 
 
 HISTORY, CIVICS, ECONOMICS, one (1) unit. 
 MATHEMATICS : 
 
 Algebra, one and one-half (1$) units. One-half unit may be 
 omitted for the Division of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 Plane Geometry, one (1) unit. 
 
 Soeid Geometry, one-half (I) unit. This may be omitted for 
 the Divisions of Agriculture, Home Economics, and Veterinary 
 Medicine 
 
 (B) Enough work from the five principal groups of subjects, viz.: Eng- 
 
 lish, Foreign Language, History-Civics-Economics group, Math- 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 9 
 
 ematics and Natural Science to make a total of eleven (11) units 
 including the units enumerated above under (A) ; but with a 
 maximum of four units in any one foreign language, in English, 
 in the History-Civics- Economics group, in Mathematics, or four 
 and one-half units in Natural Science. 
 
 (C) ELECTIVES. Whatever work to the extent of four additional 
 units the high school certifies as accepted by that school for 
 graduation; subject to the definitions of units of entrance credit 
 adopted by the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- 
 ondary Schools, or in the bulletins published by the Iowa State 
 Board on Secondary School Relations, and with only the follow- 
 ing general restrictions : 
 
 a. Not less than one unit in Physics, Chemistry, or any foreign 
 language, when one or more of these are included in the 
 high school course. 
 
 b. Not less than one-half unit in any single subject, with the 
 following exception : a minimum of one-third unit is ac- 
 cepted for work done in high schools organized on the basis 
 of a four term year of twelve weeks each;'; this does not 
 reduce the minimum credit demanded in subjects requiring 
 not less than one unit of entrance credit. 
 
 e. No credit for English Grammar, United States History, or 
 Arithmetic unless taken in the third or fourth year of the 
 secondary school course ; or, in the case of Arithmetic, after 
 the completion of one and one-half units in Algebra. 
 
 d. In the case of Freehand or Mechanical Drawing, Manual 
 Training, and the laboratory elements of Domestic Science, 
 a double class period (85 minutes) must be required as the 
 equivalent of an ordinary recitation period (40 to 45 min- 
 utes) in a non-laboratory subject.

 lege work, will be classified in such of these prerequisite studies as are 
 necessary to make up their deficiencies. Credit earned in removing such 
 deficiencies will not be applied toward college graduation in the specific 
 course chosen. 
 
 * Each high school student is urged to complete two units in one foreign 
 language.

 METHODS OF ADMISSION 
 
 1. Admission to Graduates of IOWA HIGH SCHOOLS 
 
 A graduate of a public four-year high school in Iowa, who presents 
 fifteeen units of work, will be admitted without examination to such col- 
 legiate work as he is prepared to pursue, upon presenting a certificate 
 signed by the Superintendent or the Principal, specifying the branches of 
 study and credits included within his high school course of study. A 
 graduate of any private four-year high school, seminary, or academy 
 approved by the Board of Secondary School Relations will be admitted on 
 the same basis. 
 
 If a high school graduate does not meet present admission requirements 
 to the course he desires to pursue the deficiency must be removed by 
 studies taken at the College. Credit earned in removing such deficiencies 
 will not be applied toward college graduation in the specific course chosen. 
 
 2. Admission from Other Secondary Schools 
 
 A student presenting a certificate from a secondary school not described 
 under 1 above, may be admitted to collegiate courses by the following plan : 
 
 (a) He is to pass entrance examinations in subjects representing each of 
 the main groups of subjects certified, for one-third of the number 
 of acceptable credits so certified. 
 
 (b) The subjects for examination are to be selected by the examiner at 
 the time of the examination and irrespective of the choice of the 
 student. 
 
 (c) The total number of credits allowed on the certificate shall not ex- 
 ceed three times the number earned by examination. 
 
 (d) The total amount of credit gained by examination and certificate 
 must equal at least the requirements for admission as stated on 
 page 10 and preceding. 
 
 3. Admission to Graduates of High Schools in Other States 
 Graduates of high schools accredited by the state universities or other 
 state accrediting agencies will be admitted by certificate. High school 
 graduates, whose certificates would be accepted without examination by 
 reputable colleges in the state in which they are located, provided these 
 states have no accrediting system, will be admitted by certificate. Gradu- 
 ates of other schools will be required to take entrance examinations. 
 
 4. Admission to Non-graduates of High Schools 
 
 The student not a graduate presenting credits from a public four-year 
 high school or a private four-year high school, academy, or seminary, 
 approved by the Board of Secondary School Relations. 
 
 (A) Such student will not be admitted unless he presents as many as 
 fourteen (14) acceptable units by certificate, by examination, or by both 
 certificate and examination ; and he is to be conditioned to the extent of 
 enough units to bring the number up to fifteen (15) units. These units 
 must be according to specified list of units found under pre-technical work 
 on page 7. 
 
 (B) Entrance conditions must be removed within one calendar year 
 after the student's admission, or before he registers for his second year's 
 work; and the student is to be registered at once for the work in which 
 he is deficient as a part of the normal amount of work allowed to stu- 
 dents. If, however, he shows by the end of the first term that he is an 
 unusually capable student, he may be permitted under the faculty regula- 
 tions to register for additional work during the following term. 
 
 (C) Students admitted with conditions are not to be permitted to 
 remove these conditions within the allotted one year by taking entrance 
 examinations in subjects in which they have been taking college courses 
 for credit. 
 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 13 
 
 If a student presenting the required entrance credit in a given subject 
 fails to do satisfactory work in the succeeding college course in that sub- 
 ject, he is not to be assigned to a pre-technical course in the subject with 
 a view of securing college credit for such pre-technical course. 
 
 5. Admission by Examination and on Other Evidences of Proficiency 
 
 Students who desire to enter by examination and who present satis- 
 factory evidence that they have devoted sufficient time to preparation, will 
 be given examinations in any subject required for entrance. 
 
 Students desiring to enter by examination will be expected to pass 
 examinations in the Required and elective subjects, according to work 
 outlined on pages 8 to 10. 
 
 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS 
 
 Certificates of entrance examinations passed for admission to reputable 
 universities and colleges, and certificates of examination passed under the 
 direction of any of the College Entrance Examination Boards and the 
 Regents of the State of New York, may be accepted as are accepted the 
 certificates from our own accredited schools. 
 
 ACADEMIES AND PREPARATORY SCHOOLS 
 
 Credits certified from private secondary schools such as academies and 
 seminaries, and from college preparatory schools, shall be estimated in 
 accordance with the definition of the entrance unit and on the standard of 
 four years of preparation and residence. College academies or prepara- 
 tory departments conforming in their organization with the organization 
 of the four-year accredited high school shall be treated as accredited 
 schools, if the colleges themselves are regarded as standard colleges.

 Advanced Standing 
 
 Students of other colleges will be admitted to advanced standing in this 
 College under the following conditions : 
 
 First, they must present a letter of honorable dismissal. 
 
 Second, the entrance requirements to this College must be fully satis- 
 fied (see Admission under Entrance Requirements). 
 
 Third, it is required that all credits from other colleges be sent by the 
 proper officers of such institutions, duly certified, to the Registrar of this 
 College; such certificates to include number of weeks the student has 
 pursued the studies in question and the number of hours' credit received 
 in each quarter or semester, as well as the portion of the subject covered. 
 
 No standing shall be accepted from any high school or academy for 
 regular four-year college work. It is the privilege of any student to ask 
 for and receive examination in any subject taught in any department of 
 the College, provided that he can show to the satisfaction of the head of 
 the department that he has made the necessary preparation. 
 
 Students from other colleges. 
 
 Work of recognized merit that has been taken in colleges and universi- 
 ties of good rank and standing will be credited for an equivalent amount 
 of work so far as it applies in any course offered in this College. 
 
 Students taking work in this way will present official records of their 
 work to the advanced standing committee at the office of the Registrar to 
 ascertain the credits to be allowed. It will be understood between the 
 applicant and the committee that the credits are only provisionally accepted 
 and that their final acceptance depends wholly upon the student's main- 
 taining a good average standing for one year. 
 
 Graduates of approved colleges, who are not candidates for a degree, 
 may take special work in this institution under the rules governing special 
 students, without having to complete the Freshman year in any of the 
 college courses. Permission to take such special course and the subjects 
 included therein depends upon the approval of the President of the Col- 
 lege and the Dean of the Division or Head of the Department in which 
 the student seeks enrollment. 
 
 Fees and Expenses 
 
 Expenses: The average expenses for men need not exceed from $500 
 to $700 per year. 
 
 Honor Scholarships: The State Board of Education has provided one 
 honor scholarship for each four-year approved high school in the state. 
 The scholarship represents the same value in cash whether presented at the 
 State College or at any one of the other state institutions. It is worth 
 at least $20.00 for the year, and at the State College this amount will be 
 allowed on fees. 
 
 As soon as any school has made its nomination for the scholarship, 
 the school authorities are expected to report the name and address of the 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 15 
 
 nominee, together with a signed certificate of scholarship, to the Secretary 
 of Secondary Schools, State Board of Education, Des Moines, Iowa, who 
 will approve the nomination if the conditions have been met, forward the 
 proper credentials to the candidate, and send the certificate of credits to 
 the institution elected. 
 
 Nominations should be made in June, and must be made not later than 
 August 1st of each year. 
 
 The announcement regarding these honor scholarships is subject to 
 change at any time. 
 
 Tuition: The Code of Iowa reads as follows: "The tuition in the 
 College herein established shall be forever free to pupils from the state 
 over sixteen years of age, who have been residents of this state six months 
 previous to their admission." 
 
 To non-resident students a tuition fee of $17.00 per quarter is charged. 
 
 Tuition Scholarships: This form of Tuition Scholarships is intended 
 only for those students from other states, who need such aid to secure 
 a college education. The conditions on which this aid is granted are 
 as follows: (1) The applicant must be in need of financial assistance; 
 (2) Must be of good moral character; (3) Must give evidence of good 
 preparation ; (4) The recipient must give evidence of ability, by good 
 standing in one of the regular courses. 
 
 The aid which is given from the Tuition Scholarships Fund is not 
 regarded as a loan. If a student v/ho receives this aid is able to return the 
 amount in later years, it will be credited to his accounts on the books of 
 the College Treasurer, and the sum will be put into the Tuition Scholar- 
 ship Fund of the College for the use of future students. 
 
 All applications for these scholarships must be made on the uniform 
 blanks furnished by the President. 
 
 Thirty-eight tuition scholarships are available: eight to each collegiate 
 class, two to non-collegiate students, and four to students from foreign 
 countries. 
 
 Application should be made to the Chairman of the Committee on Tui- 
 tion Scholarships. 
 
 International Scholarships are granted to students from the countries 
 of our allies in the war ; said scholarships to exempt each of such students 
 from the payment of fees and tuition to an amount not to exceed $100 
 annually. There are ten such scholarships. 
 
 Application should be made to the Chairman of the Committee on Tui- 
 tion Scholarships. 
 
 Incidental and Janitor Fees: The regular incidental and janitor fee 
 for the quarter is $6.00 for all students who complete their classification 
 during the regular classification period. Beginning with the first day on 
 which classes are held, the fee for college students will be $8.00 plus $1.00 
 additional for each day thereafter until the classification is completed. 
 This fee is used as follows: hospital, $2.00; students' repair fund, $1.00; 
 incidental and janitor service, balance. Students who register for part- 
 time work, instead of paying the full incidental and janitor fee, may pay 
 the hospital fee of $2.00, and 50c per credit hour for the hours or fraction 
 of hours work taken. 
 
 Physical Training Fee: All men students (except those in Graduate 
 College) are required to pay a fee of $1.00 per quarter. This fee entitles 
 the student to the general use of the gymnasium including the lockers and 
 shower baths. (Men who are required to classify in Physical Training 
 shall pay a fee of $1.00 per quarter in addition to this fee.) 
 
 If the student severs his connection with the College, he shall obtain an 
 order to settle from the Registrar, Room 114 Central Building, which 
 
16 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 order shall be filed with the Treasurer. The refund will be made at the 
 close of the quarter. 
 
 Laboratory Fees : Laboratory fees at the actual cost of breakage and 
 usage are charged to the students, the Treasurer's receipt for such fees 
 being required before the students are admitted to laboratories. For the 
 amount of the fee in any study, see description of the study under its 
 department. All refunds on laboratory fees will be made at the close of 
 the quarter. 
 
 Diploma Fee: A diploma fee of $5.00 is payable before graduation. 
 
 Exemption from Fees: All honorably discharged soldiers and sailors 
 of the World War shall be exempt from fees to the amount of $20 per 
 year, said amount to be divided as follows: $6.00 incidental and janitor 
 fee for the Fall quarter; $6.00 incidental and janitor fee and $1.00 general 
 physical training fee for the Winter and for the Spring quarters. Students 
 claiming this exemption shall show their discharge papers at the Treasu- 
 rer's office when they enter college. 
 
 Board and Room: All men students can secure furnished rooms and 
 board in clubs or private families adjacent to the College grounds at $6.00 
 per week. In order that undesirable rooms and houses may be avoided, 
 young men students should consult the Secretary of the Young Men's 
 Christian Association, Alumni Hall, Ames, Iowa. For sanitary or other 
 reasons the College authorities reserve the right to forbid students from 
 rooming in any particular house. 
 
 For the information of students, clubs, and interested private families 
 the Committee on Student Accommodations has prepared standard regu- 
 lations to assist in the management of houses which furnish rooms or 
 board to students. These regulations are for the use of members of the 
 instructional and clerical staffs and other members of the College com- 
 munity when reference to standard practice is desirable. Houses accom- 
 modating both students and others who are not students are expected to 
 observe regulations for houses accommodating students. Copies of these 
 regulations may be secured from the President's office, the Y. M. C. A. 
 Secretary, or the Chairman of the Committee on Student Accommodations. 
 
 Text Books: All text books and stationery may be purchased at the 
 College Book Store at about 20 per cent below the average retail price. 
 
 Freshman Expenses 
 
 Taking into consideration the items named under Fees and Expenses, 
 the following is an approximate estimate of the expenses of a Freshman 
 for each of the three quarters of the College year : 
 
 Minimum Maximum 
 Amount Amount 
 
 Board (12 weeks) $66.00 $96.00 
 
 Room rent (12 weeks — 2 in a room) 21.00 36.00 
 
 Laundry 12.00 18.00 
 
 Incidental and janitor fee 6.00 8.00 
 
 Laboratory fees 10.00 12.00 
 
 Books and equipment 15.00 30.00 
 
 Note — See Library Regulations, page 37. 
 
 Note — To cover the cost of a satisfactory uniform it probably will be 
 necessary for each student taking military instruction to make a deposit 
 of not to exceed $45.00, $36.00 of which will be refunded during the first 
 year, the remainder to be refunded during the second year subject to the 
 regulations of the U. S. government. 
 
 Note: Prospective Freshmen should carefully consider the cost of the 
 first year. No one should think of entering college unless he has money 
 enough in his own right or from friends to meet his expenses in large part 
 for his Freshman year. If he goes out of his Freshman year in debt, he is 
 quite sure to be seriously embarrassed for the remainder of his college 
 course. Provision should be made to meet college bills with the same 
 business-like promptness with which one expects to meet other bills. 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 17 
 
 All men pay a general Physical Training fee of $1.00 per quarter. 
 
 Members of the R. O. T. C. will have their uniforms furnished by the 
 government. All other students will receive information as to prices from 
 the commanding officer of the Military department. 
 
 In addition to these items, at the beginning of the Freshman year each 
 man student will be required to purchase a gymnasium suit for $5.00. 
 
 The student is also advised to purchase a student's activities ticket and 
 to pay class dues. 
 
 The military and gymnasium suits and drawing equipment will be ser- 
 viceable for the entire course. 
 
 If a student is a non-resident of the state $17.00 per quarter should be 
 added for tuition. 
 
 The incidental and janitor fee, laboratory fees, books and equipment, 
 gymnasium outfit, and some payment toward room rent and board are 
 required in advance. 
 
 Classification and Standing 
 
 Junior and Senior College: The students are classified in Junior and 
 Senior colleges. The Junior college is composed of all students in the * 
 Freshman and Sophomore years ; the Senior college, of all students in the 
 Junior and Senior years. 
 
 Amount of Work: The amount of work in each course is expressed 
 in credits, a credit meaning one recitation a week, or its equivalent, 
 throughout the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or 
 lecture will require as much time including preparation as a three-hour 
 laboratory, and therefore it is given the same credit. Any two-hour labor- 
 atory period is equivalent to two-thirds of a three-hour laboratory. 
 
 Number of Credits: No student shall classify in more than the maxi- 
 mum number of hours allowed in his course unless by his previous record 
 he has shown exceptional ability. In no case shall he be classified in more 
 than twenty hours. The student will be allowed to drop such extra work 
 only upon permission of the classifying Dean ; he will be required to drop 
 it in case this or any other work in his, schedule is being carried unsatis- 
 factorily. A "condition" or a "not pass" secured in such extra work shall 
 stand as a record, and shall be considered in choosing fraternity members, 
 but an elective shall not be held against the student for graduation. 
 
 In general, students failing in any .portion of a quarter's work will not 
 be allowed to take full classification for the next quarter. 
 
 Classification: No student shall be admitted to any class or dropped 
 from it, except by authority of the classifying officer. 
 
 Conflicts: Students shall not classify in conflicting studies without the 
 approval of the classifying officer. 
 
 Standings: All the standings are based on the scale of 100. The 
 passing grade is 75. A student receiving from 60 to 74 per cent inclusive 
 in any course is conditioned, and allowed to make up the condition under 
 the direction of the head of the department. . 
 
 Back Studies : Students shall be classified in back studies in all cases 
 in which such studies are taught, subject to the first rule under Number 
 of Credits. Any exception to this rule must be for good and sufficient 
 reason, approved by the classifying Dean. 
 
 Changing Course: A student will not be permitted to change from 
 one course to another who has a "condition" or "not pass" in a subject not 
 common to the two courses : or if he has more than one "condition" or 
 "not pass" in subjects common to the two courses. 
 
 Senior Year: No student shall be considered a candidate for gradua- 
 tion who at the beginning of the Spring quarter of the Senior year has 
 more than twenty hours of work to complete his course of study. If the 
 uncompleted work is not offered in the Spring quarter, it shall be passed 
 and reported to the Recorder not later than April first. 
 
Division of Veterinary Medicine 
 
 Dean Stange, Veterinary Building 
 
 Vice Dean Bemis, Veterinary Building 
 
 The Division of Veterinary Medicine offers the following courses : 
 
 Four-year course: Veterinary Medicine p. 18 
 
 Six-year course: Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine' p. 21 
 
 Six-year course: Science and Veterinary Medicine p. 19 
 
 The Division of Veterinary Medicine offers a four-year course leading 
 to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and combined six-year 
 courses with either the Division of Industrial Science or the Department 
 of Animal Husbandry, and leading to both B. Sc. and D. V. M. degrees. 
 The Veterinary Division consists of five educational departments, the head 
 of each department being a man of broad experience in the particular 
 branches of medical science which the department represents. 
 
 The following departments are included in the Division: 
 
 Department of Anatomy p. 21 
 
 Department of Pathology p. 23 
 
 Department of Physiology and Pharmacology p. 24 
 
 Department of Medicine p. 22 
 
 Department of Surgery p. 25 
 
 The faculty of the Division of Veterinary Medicine consists of the 
 Dean of the Division, together with the professors at the head of depart- 
 ments, the associate and assistant professors in the departments, and 
 instructors. Representatives (to the number indicated) of the following 
 departments outside of the Veterinary Division, in which the veterinary 
 students do a part of their work, are considered members of the veterinary 
 faculty: Chemistry (1), Botany (1), Animal Husbandry (1), Dairying 
 (1), English and Economic Science (1), and Zoology (1). 
 
 Aside from the strictly educational departments in the Division, there is 
 also the Department of Research in Animal Diseases, which gives the 
 student rare opportunity to observe those phases of veterinary science in 
 which this department is engaged. 
 
 Aside from the facilities which belong especially to the Veterinai 
 Division, the equipment for instruction in Animal Husbandry, consisting 
 of large flocks and herds of carefully selected breeds of live stock, helps 
 to render practical instruction very efficient. The most perfect types of 
 the different breeds are used for class work. In this way the work ii 
 Veterinary Medicine is linked with that in Agriculture, an arrangemenl 
 which proves to be of inestimable value to veterinarians. The fact that 
 the College is located in the richest live stock country in the world pro- 
 vides a rare opportunity for the veterinary student to study this phase of 
 animal industry ; it also enables him to observe a wealth of clinical cases 
 both at the College Hospital, and under general practice conditions by 
 means of the Ambulatory Clinic. 
 
 Work in Botany, Chemistry, Zoology, and other related sciences is 
 adequately provided for in the special buildings for the accommodation 
 of these several departments of college work. Each branch of study is 
 presented to the student by a specialist. 
 
 Candidates for graduation must be twenty-one years of age, of good 
 character, and must have passed examinations in all the required subjects 
 in the course, to secure the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 19 
 
 The following are a few of the many openings available to graduates : 
 
 General Practice: In view of the fact that the national live stock 
 valuation is estimated at $10,000,000,000, it becomes obvious that the gradu- 
 ate possessing fitness and aptitude for live stock work will meet with a 
 ready demand and receive substantial compensation for his services. 
 
 Bureau of Animal Industry: Veterinarians arp in demand for in- 
 spection work in the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Depart- 
 ment of Agriculture, at salaries ranging from $1,400 to $2,5CO. 
 
 Army Veterinary Service: Excellent opportunities are now offered 
 to young veterinarians in the United States Army. The Army Veterinary 
 Corps is organized as a part of the Medical Department of the Arnvy, and 
 army veterinarians receive the rank, pay, and allowances of commissioned 
 army officers, entering with the rank of lieutenant at $1,700 per year, with 
 excellent opportunity for advancement in rank, with corresponding in- 
 creases in salary and allowances. These positions are very desirable, and 
 include a wide range of professional work. 
 
 Municipal and State Work: Owing to the fact that the larger cities 
 are rapidly inaugurating systems of milk and meat inspection, there is an 
 increasing demand for competent veterinarians drilled in Bacteriology and 
 Pathology. A large number of state positions are also open, on account of 
 the rigid laws governing inter-state shipment of live stock which are being 
 enacted by the various states. 
 
 Sanitation: The value of the educated veterinarian as a sanitarian is 
 being recognized and positions are open in this field. 
 
 Education and Research: The demand for men capable of doing in- 
 vestigation work in animal diseases, associated work in connection with 
 State Experiment Stations, and of filling various teaching positions in 
 agricultural and veterinary colleges, has been greater than the supply. 
 
 Commercial Work: The lines of commercial work which demand 
 trained veterinarians are increasing yearly. These include positions with 
 railway companies, live stock concerns, in biological laboratories, pharma- 
 ceutical houses, etc. The demand for qualified veterinarians exceeds the 
 supply, and many graduates go directly from college to positions paying 
 $150 per month and upward.

 Course in Industrial Science and Veterinary Medicine (six years) 
 
 Leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science and the degree of Doctor 
 of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 The following course is designed to meet the need of the students who 
 wish to secure a thorough foundation in the biological and chemical 
 sciences preliminary to the studying of veterinary medicine. The degree 
 of Bachelor of Science is granted at the end of the fourth year, and the 
 
 
 t Part credit may be omitted by students appointed to the Reserve Offi- 
 cers' Training Corps, arrangements to be made with the classifying 
 officer.

 degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine upon the completion of the sixth 
 year. The increased time at the disposal of the student gives an oppor- 
 tunity to prepare himself efficiently for investigational work. 
 
 Af the present time the better colleges granting degrees in human medi- 
 cine require two years of collegiate preparation. Veterinary Medicine is 
 quite as exacting in its requirements of students, particularly those who 
 wish to go into governmental or research work. The opportunities open 
 to students well grounded both in science and in veterinary medicine are 
 excellent. Many positions in the Bureau of Animal Industry of the De- 
 partment of Agriculture, in the experiment stations of our land grant 
 colleges, and in the teaching staffs of our various veterinary schools and 
 agricultural colleges, are opened every year. It has been in the past 
 practically impossible to secure men with the right training. This course is 
 designed to train men for such positions. 
 
 For pre-technical studies reqquired for this course, see page 7.

 Course in Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine 
 
 On account of a demand for a course offering degrees in both Animal 
 Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, a combined course has been outlined 
 so that the student pursuing this course may receive both degrees in six 
 years. 
 
 Short Course for Practitioners in Veterinary Medicine 
 
 It is proposed to arrange the course so that practitioners may spend a 
 few days at Ames and get the latest and best that is being made available 
 in any state or country. 
 
 Definition of a Credit: The amount of work in each study is expressed 
 in credits, a credit meaning one recitation or its equivalent a week through- 
 out the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or lecture will 
 require as much time including preparation as a three-hour laboratory, 
 and therefore should be given the same credit. Any two-hour laboratory 
 period is equivalent to two-thirds of a credit. 
 
 Study Numbers: In each department the studies, for convenience of 
 reference, are given in numerical order.

 For information concerning the Division of Veterinary Medicine, see 
 page 17. 
 
 The Department of Anatomy gives instruction to students in either 
 Veterinary Medicine or Animal Husbandry. The laboratories are well 
 equipped. In histology and osteology each student is assigned an indi- 
 vidual desk provided with a microscope, 100 permanent mounts of tissue, 
 laboratory notes, and one-half skeleton of disarticulated bones of the 
 horse. The dissecting room is modern, sanitary, and well equipped. 
 All cadavers are preserved. Students in Animal Husbandry prepare for 
 their work in nutrition and stock judging. Veterinary students should 
 have a detailed knowledge of the structure of the domestic animals and 
 birds to understand properly Physiology, Pathology, Diagnosis, Surgery, 
 and Medicine. 
 
 The following methods are used in teaching anatomy: didactic instruc- 
 tion, quiz, specimen demonstration, specimen study, lantern slide demon-

 stration, dissection, sketching, the use of the living horse for palpating 
 and outlining the structures. A large and well selected number of speci- 
 mens and lantern slides is used in the class and laboratory demonstrations 
 to emphasize the most important structures and their relations from a 
 clinical standpoint. These are also available for student use. In the 
 laboratory special attention is given to fascial compartments, joint pouch- 
 ings, vaginal sheaths, bursae, and topography. Class work in splanch- 
 nology also covers the microscopic anatomy. 
 
 The class work is mostly quizzes, with supplemental statements and 
 demonstrations By the instructors to fix the knowledge of the structures 
 of the animal body gained in the laboratory by the student.

 The study of medicine summarizes and shows the application in practice 
 of the 'training previously received in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, 
 Bacteriology, and Therapeutics. The work is given in the form of lectures 
 and clinical demonstrations and extends throughout the Junior and Senior 
 years. Diagnostic methods employed in the detection of animal diseases 
 are carried out by each student on the various organs and systems of the 
 different species of animals. The surrounding community furnishes an 
 abundance of material for such work. When cases cannot be brought to 
 the hospital, students are taken to the farms and given actual practice in 
 the diagnosis and treatment of the cases under the direct supervision of an 
 experienced member of the faculty. The latter arrangement provides a 
 
24 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 large variety of cases and gives opportunity to observe both healthy and 
 diseased animals under natural farm conditions and the student is taught 
 how to overcome difficulties frequently met with on farms where facilities 
 are restricted. 
 
 Infectious diseases are considered in detail, diagnosis and methods of 
 control being especially emphasized. 
 
 General sanitation and hygiene are taken up with special reference to 
 the most practical means of keeping animals in health and preventing dis- 
 eases. 
 
 On completion of the Senior year the student has not only the theo- 
 retical knowledge, but some of the most practical methods of applying such 
 knowledge. The transition from the student to the practitioner presents 
 little difficulty after such training.

 The Department of Veterinary Pathology and Bacteriology occupies the 
 northeast building of the veterinary group. Two offices open directly into 
 a private laboratory that is used by those in charge to investigate problems 
 pertaining to their lines of work. A large general student laboratory 
 facing the north, east, and west is well lighted and supplied with individual 
 equipment for a section of thirty students. A pathology preparation room, 
 a bacteriology preparation room and a room-incubator open into the main 
 laboratory. A class lecture room to accommodate fifty students is equipped 
 with a combination lantern-slide, microscopic projection, and photomicro- 
 graphic machine. In the basement are six rooms for the housing of small 
 experimental animals, for the preparation and mounting of museum speci- 
 mens, and for storage of supplies, and a large storage room for museum 
 specimens used by the department. 
 
 The work of the department consists of a systematic study of the causes 
 of disease and the manner" in which these causes bring about alterations, 
 in the anatomical structure and chemical and physiological activities of 
 animal tissues. The application of this study renders diagnosis more 
 accurate and forms the foundation for rational therapeutics.

 The southeast building of the Veterinary group is devoted to work in 
 Physiology, Pharmacy, Materia Medica, and Therapeutics. This building 
 was planned for the investigation and teaching of physiological and phar- 
 macological subjects, and is admirably arranged and equipped for the 
 pursuance of general or research work along these lines. 
 
 In the general laboratories, students are provided with individual equip- 
 ment as far as possible, and thus self reliance and individual responsibility 
 ./e developed. The laboratories have been newly equipped and are thof 
 oughly up-to-date. The latest apparatus for practical physiological, phar- 
 macological, or pharmaceutical demonstration and laboratory work is 
 available. 
 
 Before attempting a proper conception of diseased conditions it is 
 necessary to have an understanding of the normal functions of the body 
 structures. The purpose of the work in Physiology is to make a detailed 
 study of the normal functions and activities of the cells, tissues, organs, 
 and systems constituting the animal body. The work is presented in the 
 form of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and practical laboratory 
 work in which the chemical and physical processes of the animal body are 
 considered in logical order. The lecture work is supplemented by the use 
 of dissected specimens, practical demonstrations, and drawings. The 
 laboratory work is devoted to the study of the respiratory, circulatory, 
 muscular, and nervous systems; also digestion and absorption, and the 
 circulating fluids of the body.

 As Pharmacy and Materia Medica are prerequisite to Therapeutics, 
 these subjects are considered in the order named; the work is presented 
 as lectures, recitations, laboratory, and demonstration work.

 The Department of Surgery is especially well equipped for its teaching. 
 The hospital is 160 feet long by 60 feet wide, has a stall capacity for 42 
 large animals, 22 dogs, and other small animals, and contains three operat- 
 ing rooms. The largest 65 by 30 feet, is used for examining animals as 
 they are admitted, and for minor operations and treatment. Joining it is 
 a clinical amphitheatre ; next to this is the second operating room for large 
 animals, equipped with a hydraulic operating table, X-ray apparatus, and 
 other conveniences. Between the operating room and clinic room is a 
 dispensary and instrument room. On the upper floor, near the kennels, is 
 a small animal operating room equipped with white enamel furniture ; also 
 operating instruments and modern steam sterilizers for water, instruments, 
 and dressings. 
 
 During the school year more than eight thousand cases, including a 
 wide range of surgical conditions, are operated upon and treated in the 
 clinics, each case being assigned to a Senior student w r ith one or more 
 Junior assistants. All operations are performed by the professors in 
 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 27 
 
 charge, and the after treatment is always under their direction, the idea 
 being that the clinical cases are in no way experimental, but that they shall 
 be treated as similar cases are to be treated later in practice. 
 
 All the class room work in surgery is conducted in the amphitheatre in 
 the hospital building, where animals affected with conditions under discus- 
 sion as well as instruments and apparatus to be used in diagnosis, treat- 
 ment, or restraint, can be brought before the class. Clinic cases are con- 
 stantly used to correlate the theoretical and the practical.

 The department is being supported by special appropriations made by the 
 legislature, and laboratories and experimental animal rooms are equipped 
 for this special work. There are but few animal diseases entirely under- 
 stood, and many are understood in no particular. It is the object of this 
 department to investigate such diseases with the view of working out some 
 method by which they can be controlled or eradicated. 
 
 One feature of the work of this department is the diagnosis of disease 
 by laboratory methods and examination of tissues. Veterinarians and 
 livestock owners <are encouraged to send to the laboratory tissues and 
 materials from doubtful cases. Careful and painstaking examination of 
 these is made, and animal inoculations arc carried out for those cases 
 which promise something new or rare. Reports of such examinations are 
 submitted to the sender, and his cooperation is solicited in working out 
 the cases. Accurate records of such work are kept on file in the labora- 
 tory and are available to members of the Veterinary Division at all times

 for their study and use. Thus the work of the department supports the 
 instruction work and assists in keeping such instruction modern.

General Information 
 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 
 The laws of the United States and State of Iowa provide for the scope 
 and the management of the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 
 Arts. It is under the State Board of Education, which consists of nine 
 men nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. This' 
 Board appoints a finance committee consisting of three men who give 
 their entire time to the management of the four state educational institu- 
 tions of Iowa, of which the Board is in charge, under provision of the 
 law and such rules and regulations as the State Board of Education may 
 prescribe. 
 
 GOVERNMENT 
 
 The character of the College buildings and the nature of the work 
 make order, punctuality, and systematic effort indispensable. The institu- 
 tion offers no inducement to the idler or the self-indulgent. All who are 
 too independent to submit to needful authority, too reckless -to accept 
 wholesome restraint, or too careless to take advantage of their opportuni- 
 ties, are advised not to come. The discipline of the College is confined 
 mainly to sending away those who prove, on fair trial, to be of this class. 
 The final decision of all cases of discipline rests with the President of the 
 College except when he delegates such power in particular cases to the 
 deans or to some one of the standing committees of the faculty. 
 
 HISTORY 
 
 An act establishing "A State Agricultural College and Model Farm" to 
 be connected with the entire agricultural interests of the state was passed 
 by the legislature of Iowa in 1858. This legislature also appointed a board 
 of commissioners to buy a farm and erect a college building, and selected 
 a board of trustees to secure a faculty and organize a college. In 1859 a 
 farm of six hundred and forty acres situated near Ames, was purchased. 
 
 In 1862 Congress enacted, and President Lincoln signed a bill entitled, 
 "An act donating public lands to the several States and Territories, which 
 may provide colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and -the Mechanic 
 Arts." ^ 
 
 Section 1 of this act provides that for the support of such colleges 
 there be granted "an amount of public land, to be apportioned to each 
 State in quantity equal to thirty thousand acres for each Senator and 
 Representative in Congress to which the States are respectively entitled 
 by the apportionment under the census of 1860." 
 
 Section 4 requires : "That all moneys derived from the sale of land shall 
 constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain forever 
 undiminished, and the interest of which shall inviolably be apportioned by 
 each State which may take and claim the benefit of this act, to the endow- 
 ment, support, and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading 
 objects shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and 
 including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related 
 to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislature 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 31 
 
 of the State may provide, in order to promote the liberal and practical 
 education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions 
 of life." 
 
 The General Assembly of Iowa, September 11, 1862, accepted the grant 
 upon the conditions and under the restrictions contained in the act of 
 Congress, and by so doing entered into contract with the General Gov- 
 ernment to erect and keep in repair all buildings necessary for the use of 
 the College. By action of the General Assembly the College was changed, 
 from an agricultural institution into a College of Agriculture and Me- 
 chanic Arts with the broad and liberal course of study outlined in the 
 following paragraph. The College was formally opened on the seven- 
 teenth day of March 1869. 
 
 In 1884 the General Assembly passed an act defining the course of study 
 to be pursued, as follows : "Section 1. That Section 1621 of the Code is 
 hereby repealed and the following is enacted in lieu thereof: 'Section 1621. 
 There shall be adopted and taught in the State Agricultural College, a 
 broad, liberal, and practical course of study, in which the leading branches 
 of learning shall relate to agriculture and the mechanic arts and which 
 shall also embrace such other branches of learning as will most practically 
 and liberally educate the agricultural and industrial classes in the several 
 pursuits and professions of life, including military tactics. Section 2. 
 That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby re- 
 pealed'." 
 
 August thirtieth the following act was approved by President Harrison : 
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
 States in Congress assembled, that there shall be and hereby is, annually 
 appropriated, out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropri- 
 ated, arising from the sales of public lands, to be paid, as hereinafter 
 provided, to each State and Territory for the more complete endowment 
 and maintenance of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic 
 arts now established, or which may hereafter be established, in ac- 
 cordance with an act of Congress approved July second, eighteen hundred 
 and sixty-two, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the year ending 
 Tune thirtieth, eighteen hundred* and ninety, and an annual increase of 
 the amount of such appropriation thereafter for ten years by an additional 
 sum of one thousand dollars over the preceding year, and the annual 
 amount to be paid thereafter to each State and Territory shall be twenty- 
 five thousand dollars, to be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the 
 mechanic arts, the English language, and the various branches of math- 
 ematical, physical, natural, and economic sciences, with especial reference 
 to their application in the industries of life, and to facilities for such 
 instruction." 
 
 The income of the College from national and state sources is therefore 
 expended in instruction, experimentation, and illustration in agriculture 
 and in the mechanic arts, and in the underlying and related sciences and 
 literature. All buildings are erected and all repairs thereon are made by 
 the State of Iowa. 
 • The college property is valued at $4,846,716.11. 
 
 LOCATION 
 
 The College occupies a delightful and healthful location upon high, 
 rolling land in the west part of Ames, Story County. Situated at the 
 junction of the north and south branch and the main double-track line 
 of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, and connected with all the trunk 
 lines of Iowa, Ames is easily accessible from all parts of the state. An 
 electric railway connects Ames and the College. The Fort Dodge, Des 
 Moines and Southern Railway (electric) with stations on the campus, gives 
 efficient service to the College and connections with the following trunk 
 
32 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 lines : At Fort Dodge, with the Illinois Central and Chicago-Great West- 
 ern ; at Huxley, with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ; at Des Moines, 
 with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago-Great Western, and 
 the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 
 
 Ames is a most desirable town for wholesome college influences. Its 
 people are thrifty, enterprising, and cordial. The town has an excellent 
 system of public schools, numerous churches, waterworks, and electric 
 lights, and it also has a good city government. It is an inviting com- 
 munity for heads of families who wish to educate their children and enjoy 
 a good environment at a reasonable expense. Ames and the College are 
 on very cordial terms, and the citizens of Ames seek to promote the efforts 
 of the students and the highest interests of the College. 
 
 GROUNDS 
 
 Of the entire College domain of 1,537 acres, 125 acres are set apart for 
 College grounds. These include the experimental plots, the young forestry 
 plantations, the surroundings of professors' dwellings, and the central 
 campus with its beautiful walks and drives, its trees, shrubbery, and 
 flower gardens, and its large and stately buildings. The true principles 
 of landscape gardening have been so faithfully observed in the gardening 
 and in the location of buildings and drives as to make the entire campus 
 a large and beautiful park. 
 
 BUILDINGS 
 
 Fifty-five commodious buildings besides the dwelling houses and the 
 buildings for farm stock, machinery, and work, have been erected by the 
 State for the exclusive use of the various departments of the College. 
 All of these buildings are heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and sup- 
 plied with pure water. 
 
 The map in the front of this catalog gives a list of the buildings and 
 their location on the campus.

 EMPLOYMENT FOR STUDENTS 
 
 Although this institution is not situated in a large center where there is 
 an unlimited amount of employment for students, yet there are a large 
 number who can earn a part of their expenses here at College. Very few 
 are able to make all their expenses, and no young man should come expect- 
 ing to do this unless he has made definite arrangements previous to his 
 coming. 
 
 The work available for students consists of employment in the various 
 departments, such as office work, caring for stock, helping in dairy, green- 
 houses, orchards, shops, or janitor work about the buildings. Consider- 
 able work for students is also obtained in the business houses and homes 
 of Ames ; a limited number find employment in student clubs and in the 
 cafeteria. 
 
 The Employment Bureaus are managed as follows : For men, by the 
 Young Men's Christian Association. Regular work for women, Miss 
 Harwood, Adviser to women ; odd hour jobs for women, the Young 
 Women's Christian Association. The heads of various departments are 
 able to secure employment for large numbers of students during the sum- 
 mer vacation. Such positions give the students practical work that is 
 closely related to the instruction given in college, and thereby strengthens 
 them for service after graduation. 
 
 During the present year several hundred students have found work 
 through the Association Employment Bureaus. It is suggested that, on 
 account of the heavy laboratory work required in the courses here, stu- 
 dents should not come expecting to put in too much time in labor. Facts 
 regarding opportunity for work at the College can be had by writing 
 Secretary, Y. M. C. A., or Secretary, Y. W. C. A., or Miss Hazel Har- 
 wood. 
 
 Manual Labor 
 
 The following regulations in regard to manual labor have been adopted 
 by the Board of Education. 
 
 1. The manual labor of students is divided into two kinds: uninstructive 
 labor, which shall be paid for in money ; and instructive labor, which shall 
 be compensated by the instruction given and the skill acquired. 
 
 2. Uninstructive labor shall comprise all the operations in the work- 
 shop, the garden, upon the farm, and elsewhere, in which the work done 
 accrues to the benefit of the College, and not to that of the student. In- 
 structive labor shall embrace all those operations in the workshop, museum, 
 laboratories, veterinary hospital, experimental kitchen, gardens, experi- 
 mental stations, and on the farm, — labor in which the sole purpose is the 
 acquisition of knowledge and skill. 
 
 3. Students shall engage in instructive labor in the presence of the 
 professor in charge, and under his instruction according to the statement 
 made in each of the courses of study. 
 
 The compensated labor furnished by the divisions of Agriculture, of 
 Veterinary Medicine, and of Engineering, is given by each to its own 
 students and is eagerly sought. Compensated labor is awarded to the most 
 faithful and meritorious students in each department. This labor is paid 
 for according to its value to the College, but no student should expect to 
 pay the main part of his expenses by labor while here. The College can- 
 not furnish the work, and, even if it could, the student's time is needed 
 chiefly for study. Still, many worthy and industrious students pay a con- 
 siderable part of their expenses by labor ; over $25,000 is paid out by the 
 College thus each year to students and graduate assistants. 
 
34 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 HOSPITAL 
 
 Sanitary conditions surrounding the College are excellent. The build- 
 ings are situated on high ground with good natural drainage. The water 
 supply is exceptionally pure and abundant. The sewer system and sewage 
 disposal plant are the best that modern sanitary engineering can devise. 
 Nevertheless in this, as in other like institutions, where students are drawn 
 from a wide territory, various diseases are brought by the students them- 
 selves. In order to control epidemics and properly to care for other cases 
 of illness or injury, a hospital is provided. A new hospital of 45 beds 
 capacity with a large dispensatory and all modern conveniences has been 
 constructed. In connection with this is the old hospital of 18 beds for 
 special cases. This hospital is under the charge of the Department of 
 Hygiene. There are three physicians, six registered nurses, a competent 
 housekeeper and helper, and two student hospital assistants. 
 
 The expenses of the hospital are defrayed from a fund accruing from 
 the fees paid by students. The privileges of the hospital are extended to 
 all students who pay the full incidental fee of $6.00 or more per quarter, 
 provided that the physician shall be paid for calls at their residences. Per- 
 sons not making the deposit will be admitted to the hospital upon the basis 
 of a charge of $21.00 a week, within the discretion of the College physi- 
 cians. All students who pay the full regular fee are insured medical 
 attendance, nursing, and medicine, in illness or accident ; and consultation 
 and medicine for minor ailments in accordance with the regulations here- 
 in published. The charges named are based upon the probable actual cost 
 of medical attention and hospital service, and the fund created is care- 
 fully devoted to these purposes. The College cannot assume any liability 
 beyond the extent of the fund so created. The hospital has proved to be a 
 great blessing to the students. 
 
 The following regulations apply to the privileges of the hospital : 
 
 1. Students entering the hospital shall be charged $8.50 a week ($1.25 
 per day) for board, room, light, and heat. But for any time in excess of 
 three consecutive weeks spent in the hospital, a charge shall be made o* 
 $1.50 per day. 
 
 2. In case a special nurse or physician is employed, the expense shall be 
 borne by the particular patient, the selection of such nurse or physician to 
 be approved by the President of the College and the College Physicians. 
 
 3. The College assumes no responsibility whatever in case of smallpox; 
 nor shall the privileges of the hospital be extended to such cases. 
 
 4. The President and the College Physicians may require of students 
 entering the College a certificate of a reputable physician showing success- 
 ful vaccination. On account of prevalence of smallpox in some localities 
 in the United States, it is strongly urged that all students entering Iowa 
 State College be vaccinated before leaving home. This is recommended 
 in order that valuable time may not be lost during the college year by the 
 necessity of being vaccinated. 
 
 5. The College physicians are authorized to exclude from the College 
 dormitories and recitation rooms any person afflicted with a contagious 
 disease. 
 
 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 
 
 The Alumni Association of the Iowa State College was organized in 
 1876. Its purpose is to promote the highest interests of the institution and 
 to increase friendship and sympathy among students and alumni. 
 
 The present officers of the association are : 
 
 President, M. J. Riggs, '83, Toledo, Ohio. 
 
 Vice-President, Mark G. Thornburg, '10, Emmetsburg, Iowa. 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 35 
 
 Recording Secretary, Katherine (Goble) Gray, '99, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 Treasurer, Herman Knapp, '83, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 General Secretary, Ward M. Jones, '97, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 The annual meeting and banquet is held commencement week. A local 
 association was organfzed at Ames in April, 1903, in order to arrange the 
 annual meetings and to keep the local alumni in touch with one another. 
 
 Active local branches of the general association exist in Southern and 
 Northern California, Washington, D. C, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, 
 Seattle, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Omaha, New York City, Kansas City, 
 Detroit, Spokane, and Oklahoma City ; in the state, at Des Moines, Sioux 
 City, Davenport, Waterloo, and in several counties. 
 
 The Alumnus, the official organ of the association, appears monthly 
 except in August and September. It is under the supervision of the gen- 
 eral secretary. 
 
 The offices of the association are on the second floor of Alumni Hall, 
 where all alumni and ex-students will find a hearty welcome. 
 
 STUDENT PUBLICATIONS 
 
 The Iowa State Student is a tri-weekly newspaper published by a staff 
 appointed from the student body and devoted to the news of the College. 
 
 The Iowa Agriculturist is an agricultural monthly magazine published 
 by the students of the Agricultural Division, in cooperation with the De- 
 partment of Agricultural Journalism. 
 
 The Iowa Engineer is published monthly by the students of the En- 
 gineering Division. 
 
 The Iowa Home Maker is a home magazine published monthly by the 
 students of the Home Economics Division. . 
 
 The Bomb is an annual published by the Junior class. 
 
 PUBLIC SPEAKING COUNCIL 
 
 The Public Speaking Council is an organization composed of three 
 faculty members recommended by the President of the College and 
 appointed by the Board of Education ; and one representative from each 
 of the ten literary societies, the sophomore, the junior, and senior classes, 
 and the Dramatic Club. The Council promotes and manages all dramatic 
 and public speaking activities at Iowa State College. These activities 
 include intersociety and intercollegiate debates, dramatic, oratorical, and 
 extempore speaking contests, joint literary society programs, literary soci- 
 ety graduation exercises, and all class plays. 
 
 Teams of three members from each of the societies meet in two series 
 of debates during the fall quarter. In the spring the successive winners 
 meet in the semi-final and final debates for the Kennedy cup. The final 
 winners arc awarded the cup for one year, and the name of their society 
 is inscribed upon it. This series of debates offers excellent training for 
 the inter-collegiate debates. Iowa State College is a member of three 
 debating leagues. In the fall two debating teams of three students meet 
 Kansas Agricultural College; in the spring, Purdue University, Michigan 
 Agricultural College, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. 
 
 There is a growing interest in extemporaneous speaking in Iowa State 
 College. The members of the faculty have donated to the Council a 
 trophy to be awarded annually to the winner of the extempore speaking 
 contest. 
 
 The sophomore, junior, senior, inter-literary society, and dramatic club 
 plays offer training in dramatics to a great many students. The funds 
 from these' plays pay a large part of the expenses of public speaking 
 events. 
 
36 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 LITERARY SOCIETIES 
 
 The work of the ten literary societies serves not only to supplement 
 the social and literary work of the College, but also to aid the student in 
 securing that training so necessary to enable him to appear before an 
 audience, that training which every student needs and which cannot be 
 secured in the class room alone. Every student is invited, even urged, to 
 join one of these societies.

38 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 RELIGIOUS LIFE AT THE COLLEGE 
 
 Orange Howard Cessna, Chaplain 
 
 Fred C. Hansen, General Secretary, Y. M. C. A. 
 
 Angelina McKinley, General Secretary, Y. W. C. A. 
 
 The college life is permeated with religious influences. The following 
 are among the more evident moral and religious forces in operation 
 throughout the year: 
 
 1. The Sunday Morning Chapel Services are held in Agricultural 
 Hall auditorium and are addressed by prominent clergymen of all denomi- 
 nations who accept special invitations to come to the College for this 
 purpose. These services are well attended. Often the hall is filled to its 
 capacity of nearly 900. An attractive feature is the music furnished by a 
 choir of college students. 
 
 2. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are quartered in Alumni Hall 
 on the campus and have regular secretaries. Last year over 85% of the 
 young women students belonged to their association. The associations 
 conduct Bible classes in sororities, fraternities, and boarding houses. 
 These classes are well attended. Special religious services are held under 
 the direction of prominent Association leaders. 
 
 There are in active operation a Luther League, Brotherhood of St. An- 
 drew, Epworth League, Baptist Young People's Union, Christian Endeavor 
 Societies, and a Catholic Students' Association. 
 
 3. College Pastors. Four churches now maintain college pastors at 
 Ames, the Methodist, the Presbyterian, the Congregational, and Episcopal. 
 These men work in conjunction with their churches and with the religious 
 organizations on the campus. They are exerting a helpful influence. 
 
 4. There are ten different denominational churches in Ames, all of 
 which are in touch with the students, who are cordially invited to take 
 part in all religious services. 
 
 Geneva Scholarship 
 
 The Faculty Women's Club contributes $35 towards the expenses of a 
 delegate to the Y. W. C. A. Central Student Conference at Lake Geneva. 
 This fund is awarded the third quarter of the Sophomore year by a com- 
 mittee from the club. Scholarship, accomplishment in Y. W. C. A. work, 
 interest in general college activities, and personality are the points con- 
 sidered in making the award. »

Admission to College 
 
 Every student entering college must file an official statement of his 
 previous educational work. Applications for credential blanks and all 
 communications in regard to admission should be addressed to the 
 Eegistrar. Official high school records should be filed with the Eegistrar 
 at the close of the school year, if possible, and not later than the first 
 Monday in September, December, or March. The Eegistrar will evaluate 
 all credentials and will notify the applicant of their acceptance. He 
 will also assign the applicant to his position in the course desired. Con- 
 tinuance in such assignment will be conditioned upon the student's do- 
 ing creditable work. 
 
 Applicants for admission to all collegiate courses should be at least 
 sixteen years of age. 
 
 Students may enter the College at the beginning of any quarter. Those 
 wishing to come at the beginning of the second or third quarter should 
 inquire from the Eegistrar whether entrance at that time is feasible in 
 their cases. The regular classes begin with the opening in September 
 and the students are urged to enter at that time. Some Freshman sub- 
 jects are, however, begun in each quarter. The College desires to em- 
 phasize the importance of thorough preparation, particularly in subjects 
 that are to be continued in College. Since satisfactory progress is im- 
 possible without thorough preparation, students are urged to review 
 carefully, before entering College, algebra through quadratics and 
 English composition and grammar. Those desiring admission should 
 examine Requirements for Admission, below. 
 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION 
 
 Definition of a Unit 
 
 The requirements for admission are stated in terms of units. A unit is 
 defined as the equivalent of one high school study satisfactorily pursued 
 during one school year, at least thirty-six weeks in length, on the basis 
 of five recitations a week, the course of study for which the student is 
 registered requiring no more than four studies or twenty recitation 
 periods a week. The length of the recitation period shall be at least 
 forty minutes and the laboratory period shall be twice this length. A 
 unit is equivalent to two semester credits. 
 
 PRE-TECHNICAL WORK 
 
 The following studies are prerequisites to the collegiate courses out- 
 lined in this catalogue. 
 
 For the Divisions of Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, In- 
 dustrial Science and Veterinary Medicine, viz.: 
 
 (A) ENGLISH, three (3) units. 
 
 HISTOEY, CIVICS, ECONOMICS, one (1) unit. 
 MATHEMATICS: 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 9 
 
 Algebra, one and one-half (l 1 /^) units. One-half unit may be 
 omitted for the Division of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 Plane Geometry, one (1) unit. 
 
 Solid Geometry, one-half (%) unit. This may be omitted for 
 the Divisions of Agriculture, Home Economics, and Veterinary 
 Medicine. 
 
 (B) Enough work from the five principal groups of subjects, viz.: 
 
 English, Foreign Language, History-Civics-Economics group, 
 Mathematics and Natural Science to make a total of eleven 
 (11) units including the units enumerated above under (A); 
 but with a maximum of four units in any one foreign language, 
 in English, in the History-Civics-Economics group, in Math- 
 ematics, or four and one-half units in Natural Science. 
 
 (C) ELECTIVES. Whatever work to the extent of four additional 
 
 units the high school certifies as accepted by that school for 
 graduation; subject to the definitions of units of entrance credit 
 adopted by the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- 
 ondary Schools, or in the bulletins published by the Iowa State 
 Board on Secondary School Eelations, and with only the follow- 
 ing general restrictions: 
 
 a. Not less than one unit in Physics, Chemistry, or any for- 
 eign language, when one or more of these are included in 
 the high school course. 
 
 b. Not less than one-half unit in any single subject, with the 
 following exception: a minimum of one-third unit is ac- 
 cepted for work done in high schools organized on the basis 
 of a four term year of twelve weeks each; this does not 
 reduce the minimum credit demanded in subjects requiring 
 not less than one unit of entrance credit. 
 
 c. No credit for English Grammar, United States History, 
 or Arithmetic unless taken in the third or fourth year of 
 the secondary school course; or, in the case of Arithmetic, 
 after the completion of one and one-half units in Algebra. 
 
 d. In the case of Freehand or Mechanical Drawing, Manual 
 Training, and the laboratory elements of Domestic Science, 
 a double class period (85 minutes) must be required as the 
 equivalent of an ordinary recitation period (40 to 45 min- 
 utes) in a non-laboratory subject.

12 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Pre-technical Subjects Taught by the College 
 
 For the benefit of students who are not qualified to enter directly 
 upon the technical courses leading to Baccalaureate degrees, certain 
 general instruction of a preliminary character is offered. This is in- 
 tended primarily to help those who have graduated from high schools 
 but who have not sufficient general instruction to take up at once the 
 work required in the technical courses. Such students may take any 
 subjects which they are qualified to carry and which will round out in 
 a fitting way their preparation for a technical course. Credit earned 
 to remove entrance deficiencies will not be applied toward graduation. 
 
 METHODS OP ADMISSION 
 1. Admission of Graduates of IOWA HIGH SCHOOLS 
 
 A graduate of a public four-year high school in Iowa, who presents 
 fifteen units of work, will be admitted without examination to such col- 
 legiate work as he is prepared to pursue, upon presenting a certificate 
 signed by the Superintendent or the Principal, specifying the branches 
 of study and credits included within his high school course of study. 
 A graduate of any private four-year high school, seminary, or academy 
 approved by the Board on Secondary School Eelations will be admitted 
 on the same basis. 
 
 If a high school graduate does not meet present admission require- 
 ments to the course he desires to pursue the deficiency must be removed 
 by studies taken at the College. Credit earned in removing such de- 
 ficiencies will not be applied toward graduation in the specific course 
 chosen. See Pre-technical Subjects above. 
 
 2. Admission from Other Secondary Schools 
 
 A student presenting a certificate from a secondary school not described 
 under 1 above, may be admitted to collegiate courses by the following 
 plan: 
 
 (a) He must pass entrance examinations in subjects representing each 
 of the main groups of subjects certified, for one-third of the num- 
 ber of acceptable credits so certified. 
 
 (b) The subjects for examination are to be selected by the examiner 
 at the time of the examination and irrespective of the choice of 
 the student. 
 
 (c) The total number of credits allowed on the certificate shall not 
 exceed three times the number earned by examination. 
 
 (d) The total amount of credit gained by examination and certificate 
 must at least equal the requirements for admission as stated on 
 page 9. 
 
 3. Admission to Graduates of High Schools in Other States 
 
 Graduates of high schools accredited by the state universities or other 
 state accrediting agencies will be admitted by certificate. High school 
 graduates, whose certificates would be accepted without examination by 
 reputable colleges in the state in which they are located, provided these 
 states have no accrediting system, will be admitted by certificate. Gradu- 
 ates of other schools will be required to take entrance examinations. 
 
 4. Admission to Non-graduates of High Schools 
 
 The student not a graduate presenting credits from a public four-year 
 high school or a private four-year high school, academy, or seminary, 
 approved by the Board of Secondary School Eelations: 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE IS 
 
 (A) Such student will not be admitted unless he presents as many as 
 fourteen (14) acceptable units by certificate, examination, or both cer- 
 tificate and examination; and he is to be conditioned in enough units 
 to bring the number up to fifteen (15) units. These units must be dis- 
 tributed according to specified list of units found under pre-technical 
 work on page S. 
 
 (B) Entrance conditions must be removed within one calendar year 
 after the student's admission, or before he registers for his second year's 
 work; and the student is to be registered at once for the work in which 
 he is deficient as a part of the normal amount of work allowed to stu- 
 dents. If, however, he shows by the end of the first quarter that he is an 
 unusually capable student, he may be permitted under the faculty regula- 
 tions to carry more than normal schedule during the following quarter. 
 
 (C) A student admitted with conditions is not to be permitted to 
 remove these conditions within the allotted one year by taking entrance 
 examinations in subjects in which he has been taking college courses 
 for credit. 
 
 If a student presenting the required entrance credit in a given subject 
 fails to do satisfactory work in the succeeding college course in that 
 subject, he is not to be assigned to a pre-technical course in the subject 
 with a view of securing college credit for such pre-technical course. 
 
 6. Admission by Examination and on Other Evidences of Proficiency- 
 Students who desire to enter by examination and who present satis- 
 factory evidence that they have devoted sufficient time to preparation, 
 will be given examinations in any subject required for entrance. 
 
 Students desiring to enter by examination will be expected to pass 
 examinations in the required and elective subjects, according to work 
 outlined on pages 9 to 12. 
 
 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS 
 
 Certificates of entrance examinations passed for admission to reputable 
 universities and colleges, and certificates of examination passed under the 
 direction of any of the College Entrance Examination Boards and the 
 Regents of the State of New York, may be accepted as are accepted the 
 certificates from our own accredited schools. 
 
 ACADEMIES AND PREPARATORY SCHOOLS 
 
 Credits certified from private secondary schools such as academies and 
 seminaries, and from college preparatory schools, shall be estimated in 
 accordance with the definition of the entrance unit and on the standard 
 of four years of preparation and residence. College academies or pre- 
 paratory departments conforming in their organization with the organi- 
 zation of the four-year accredited high school shall be treated as ac- 
 credited schools, if the colleges themselves are iegarded as standard 
 colleges. 
 
 TEACHERS ' CERTIFICATES 
 
 A certain number of entrance units may be granted upon the basis of 
 a First Grade Jniform County Certificate for subjects marked 85% or 
 above, as iollows: Arithmetic, % unit; United States History, % unit; 
 Physiology, % unit; Grammar, % unit; Civics, Vj unit; Economics, Vi 
 unit; Algebra, 1 unit; Agriculture, % unit; Domestic Science, % unit;

 Advanced Standing 
 
 Students of other colleges will be admitted to advanced standing in 
 this College under the following conditions: 
 
 First, they must present a letter of honorable dismissal. 
 
 Second, the entrance requirements of this College must be fully sat- 
 isfied (see Admission under Entrance Eequirements). 
 
 Third, it is required that all credits from other colleges be sent by the

 College; such certificates to include number of weeks the student has 
 pursued the studies in question and the number of hours' credit received 
 in each quarter or semester, as well as the portion of the subject covered. 
 
 No credits shall be accepted from any high school or academy for 
 regular four-year college work. It is the privilege of any student to ask 
 for and receive examination in any subject taught in any department of 
 the College, provided that he can show to the satisfaction of the head 
 of the department that he has made the necessary preparation. 
 
 Students from other colleges. 
 
 Work of recognized merit that has been taken in colleges and univer- 
 sities of good rank and standing will be credited for an equivalent 
 amount of work so far as it applies in any course offered in this College. 
 
 Such students should send official records of their work to the advanced 
 standing committee at the office of the Eegistrar not later than Septem- 
 ber 1st to ascertain the credits to be allowed. It will be understood be- 
 tween the applicant and the committee that the credits are only pro- 
 visionally accepted and that their final acceptance depends wholly upon 
 the student's maintaining a good average standing for one year. 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 15 
 
 Graduates of approved colleges, who are not candidates for a degree, 
 may take special work in this institution under the rules governing 
 special students, without having to complete the Freshman year in any 
 of the college courses. 
 
 Classification of such Special Students must be approved by the Presi- 
 dent of the College and the Dean of the Division or Head of the De- 
 partment in which the student is registered. 
 
 Fees and Expenses 
 
 Expenses: The average expenses for men need not exceed from $500 
 to $700 per year. For the women, the average will be about $500 per 
 year. 
 
 Honor Scholarships: The State Board of Education has provided one 
 honor scholarship for each four-year approved high school in the state. 
 The scholarship is worth $40.00 for the year. This amount will be al- 
 lowed on fees. 
 
 As soon as any school has made its nomination for the scholarship, 
 the school authorities are expected to report the name and address of 
 the nominee, together with a signed certificate of scholarship, to the 
 Secretary of the Board on Secondary School Relations, State Board of 
 Education, Des Moines Iowa, who will approve the nomination if the 
 conditions have been met, forward the proper credentials to the candi- 
 date, and send the certificate of credits to the institution elected. 
 
 Nominations should be made in June, and must be made not later than 
 August 1st of each year. 
 
 The announcement regarding these honor scholarships is subject to 
 change at any time. 
 
 Tuition: The Code of Iowa reads as follows: "The tuition in the 
 College herein established shall be forever free to pupils from the state 
 over sixteen years of age, who have been residents of this state six 
 months previous to their admission." 
 
 To non-resident students a tuition fee of $17.00 per quarter is charged. 
 
 Tuition Scholarships: This form of Tuition Scholarships is intended 
 only for those students from other states, who need such aid to secure

 Application should be made to the Chairman of the Committee on 
 Tuition Scholarships. 
 
 International Scholarships are granted to students from the countries 
 of our allies in the war; said scholarships to exempt each of such stu- 
 
16 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 dents from the payment of fees and tuition to an amount not to exceed 
 9 $100 annually. There are ten such scholarships. 
 
 Application should be made to the Chairman of the Committee on 
 'Tuition Scholarships. 
 
 Incidental and Janitor Tees: The regular incidental and janitor fee 
 for the quarter is $6.00 for all students who complete their classification 
 during the regular classification period. Beginning with the first day 
 on which classes are held, the fee for college students will be $8.00 plus 
 $1.00 additional for each day thereafter until the classification is com- 
 pleted. This fee is used as follows: hospital, $2.00; students' repair 
 fund, $1.00; incidental and janitor service, balance. Students who 
 register for part-time work, instead of paying the full incidental and 
 janitor fee, may pay the hospital fee of $2.00, and 50c per credit hour 
 for the hours or fraction of hours work taken. 
 
 Physical Training Pee: All men students, (except those in Graduate 
 College) are required to pay a fee of $1.00 per quarter. This fee en- 
 titles the student to the general use of the gymnasium including the 
 lockers and shower baths. (Men who are required to classify in Physical 
 Training shall pay a fee of $1.00 per quarter in addition to this fee). 
 
 Withdrawing from College: If a student severs his connection with 
 the College, he shall obtain an order to settle from the Registrar, Room 
 114 Central Building, which order shall be filed with the Treasurer. 
 The refund will be made at the close of the quarter. 
 
 Laboratory Tees: Laboratory fees at the actual cost of breakage and 
 usage are charged to the students, the Treasurer's receipt for such fees 
 being required before the students are admitted to laboratories. For the 
 amount of the fee in any study, see description of the study under its 
 department. All refunds on laboratory fees will be made at the close of 
 the quarter. 
 
 Diploma Fee: A diploma fee of $5.00 is payable before graduation. 
 
 Exemption from Pees: All honorably discharged soldiers and sailors 
 •of the World War shall be exempt from fees to the amount of $40 per 
 year, said amount to be divided as follows: $6.00 incidental and janitor 
 fee and $1.00 general . physical training fee for each quarter, and a 
 rebate of $6.33 per quarter on laboratory fees, this rebate to be made 
 at the end of the quarter. The State law makes this exemption effective 
 until July 1, 1923. Students claiming this exemption shall show their 
 discharge papers at the Treasurer's office when they enter college. 
 
 Board and Rooms for Men: The room bureau for men is handled by 
 the Young Men's Christian Association. A faculty committee known 
 as the Committee on Student Accommodations supervises the work of 
 the bureau. The average price of rooms at present is as follows: Where 
 two occupy a room, $2.50 to $3.00 for each occupant per week. Where 
 one occupies a room the price ranges from $4.00 to $6.00 per week. A 
 few rooms are lower than the price here stated and a few are higher, 
 but the above price is the average. Board, at the time this goes to 
 press, averages about $6.00 per week. The average price of room and 
 board is, therefore, about $8.50 to $9.00 per week. Rooms may be 
 secured by addressing the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Iowa State 
 College, Ames, Iowa. New students are advised to secure their rooms 
 before arrival. Board usually has to be arranged for by the student 
 after reaching Ames. 
 
 For the information of students and others interested, the Student 
 Accommodation Committee has prepared a standard set of rules for 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICIN E3 17 
 
 "houses furnishing room or board to students. The Committee reserves 
 the right to forbid students to room in houses which do not meet the 
 standard requirements. Copies of the regulations may be obtained by 
 application to the Y. M. C. A., the President's office, or the Chairman 
 •of the Student Accommodation Committee. 
 
 Text Books: All text books and stationery may be purchased at the 
 College Book Store at about 20 per cent below the average retail price. 
 
 Freshman Expenses 
 
 Taking into consideration the items named under Fees and Expenses, 
 the following is an approximate estimate of the expenses of a Freshman 
 for each of the three quarters of the College year: 
 
 Minimum Maximum 
 
 Amount Amount 
 
 Board (12 weeks) $60.00 $96.00 
 
 Room rent (12 weeks— 2 in a room)., 24.00 42.00 
 
 Laundry 12.00 18.00 
 
 Incidental and janitor fee 6.00 8.00 
 
 Laboratory fees 10.00 18.00 
 
 Books and equipment 15.00 30.00 
 
 Note : Prospective Freshmen should carefully consider the cost of the first year. 
 No one should think of entering college unless he has money enough in his own 
 right or from friends to meet his expenses in large part for his Freshman year. 
 If he goes out of his Freshman year in debt, he is quite sure to be seriously em- 
 barrassed for the remainder of his college course. Provision should be made to 
 meet college bills with the same business-like promptness with which one expects 
 to meet other bills. 
 
 All men pay a general Physical Training fee of $1.00 per quarter. 
 
 Members of the R. O. T. C. will have their uniforms furnished by the 
 government. All other students will receive information as to prices 
 from the commanding officer of the Military department. 
 
 In addition to these items, at the beginning of the Freshman year each 
 man student will be required to purchase a gymnasium suit for $5.00; 
 :and each woman student a gymnasium suit for $7.50. 
 
 The student is also advised to purchase a student's activities ticket 
 and to pay class dues. 
 
 The military and gymnasium suits and drawing equipment will be 
 serviceable for the entire course. 
 
 If a student is a non-resident of the state $17.00 per quarter should 
 be added for tuition. 
 
 The incidental and janitor fee, laboratory fees, books and equipment, 
 gymnasium outfit, and some payment toward room rent and board are 
 required in advance. 
 
 Classification and Standing 
 
 Junior and Senior College: The students are classified in Junior and 
 Senior colleges. The Junior college is composed of all students in the 
 Freshman and Sophomore years; the Senior college, of all students in 
 the Junior and Senior years. 
 
 Amount of "Work: The amount of work in each course is expressed 
 in credits, a credit meaning one recitation a week, or its equivalent, 
 throughout the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or 
 lecture will require as much time including preparation as a three-hour 
 laboratory, and therefore it is given the same credit. Any two-hour 
 laboratory period is equivalent to two-thirds of a three-hour laboratory. 
 
18 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Number of Credits: No student shall classify in more than the maxi- 
 mum number of hours allowed in his course unless by his previous record 
 he has shown exceptional ability. In no case shall he be classified in 
 more than twenty hours. The student will be allowed to drop such extra 
 work only upon permission of the classifying Dean; he will be required 
 to drop it in case this or any other work in his schedule is being carried 
 unsatisfactorily. A "condition" or a "not pass" secured in such extra 
 work shall stand as a record, and shall be considered in choosing frater- 
 nity members, but an elective shall not be held against the student for 
 graduation. 
 
 In general, students failing in any portion of a quarter's work will 
 not be allowed to take full classification for the next quarter. 
 
 Classification: No student shall be admitted to any class or dropped 
 from it, except by authority of the classifying officer. 
 
 Conflicts: Students shall not classify in conflicting studies without 
 the approval of the departments concerned. 
 
 Standings: All the standings are based on the scale of 100. The 
 passing grade is 75. A student receiving from 60 to 74 per cent inclusive 
 in any course is conditioned, and allowed to make up the condition under 
 the direction of the head of the department. 
 
 Back Studies: Students shall be classified in back studies in all cases 
 in which such studies are taught, subject to the first rule under Number 
 of Credits. Any exception to this rule must be for good and sufficient 
 reason, approved by the classifying Dean. 
 
 Changing Course: A student will not be permitted to change from 
 one course to another who has a "condition" or "not pass" in a sub- 
 ject not common to the two courses; or if he has more than one "con- 
 dition" or "not pass" in subjects common to the two courses. 
 
 Senior Year: No student shall be considered a candidate for gradu- 
 ation who at the beginning of the Spring quarter of the Senior year has 
 more than twenty hours of work to complete his course of study. If the 
 uncompleted work is not included in the student's classification for the 
 Spring quarter, it shall be passed and reported to the Registrar not later 
 than April first. 
 
Division of Veterinary Medicine 
 
 Dean Stange, Veterinary Building 
 Vice Dean Bemis, Veterinary Building 
 
 The division of Veterinary Medicine offers the following courses: 
 
 Four-year Course: Veterinary Medicine p. 21 
 
 Six-year Course : Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine p. 22 
 
 Six-year Course: Science and Veterinary Medicine p. 24 
 
 The Division of Veterinary Medicine offers a four-year course leading 
 to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and combined six-year 
 courses with either the Division of Industrial Science or the Department 
 of Animal Husbandry, and leading to both B. Sc. and D. V. M. degrees. 
 The Veterinary Division consists of five educational departments, the 
 head of each department being a man of broad experience in the parti- 
 cular branches of medical science which the department represents. 
 
 The following departments are included in the Division: 
 
 Department of Anatomy p. 25 
 
 Department of Pathology p. 27 
 
 Department of Physiology and Pharmacology p. 28 
 
 Department of Medicine p. 26 
 
 Department of Surgery ....' p. 29 
 
 The faculty of the Division of Veterinary Medicine consists of the 
 Dean of the Division, together with the professors at the head of de- 
 partments, the associate and assistant professors in the departments, 
 and instructors. Eepresentatives (to the number indicated) of the fol- 
 lowing departments outside of the Veterinary Division, in which the 
 veterinary students do a part of their work, are considered members of 
 the veterinary faculty: Chemistry (1), Botany (1), Animal Husbandry 
 (1), Dairying (1), English and Economic Science (1), and Zoology (1). 
 
 Aside from the strictly educational departments in the Division, there 
 is also the Department of Research in Animal Diseases, which gives the 
 student rare opportunity to observe those phases of veterinary science 
 in which this department is engaged. 
 
 Aside from the facilities which belong especially to the Veterinary 
 Division, the equipment for instruction in Animal Husbandry, consisting 
 of large flocks and herds of carefully selected breeds of live stock, helps 
 to render practical instruction very efficient. The most perfect types of 
 the different breeds are used for class work. In this way the work in 
 Veterinary Medicine is linked with that in Agriculture, an arrangement 
 which proves to be of inestimable value to veterinarians. The fact that 
 the College is located in the richest live stock country in the world pro- 
 vides a rare opportunity for the veterinary student to study this phase 
 of animal industry; it also enables him to observe a wealth of clinical 
 cases both at the College Hospital, and under general practice conditions 
 by means of the Ambulatory Clinic. 
 
 Work in Botany, Chemistry, Zoology, and other related sciences is 
 adequately provided for in the special buildings for the accommodation 
 of these several departments of college work. Each branch of study is 
 presented to the student by a specialist. 
 
 Candidates for graduation must be twenty-one years of age, of good 
 
20 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 moral and professional character, and must have passed examinations in- 
 all the required subjects in the course, to secure the degree of Doctor 
 of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 The following are a few of the many openings available to graduates: 
 
 General Practice: In view of the fact that the national live stock 
 valuation is estimated at $10,000,000,000, it becomes obvious that the- 
 graduate possessing fitness and aptitude for live stock work will meet 
 with a ready demand and receive substantial compensation for his 
 services. 
 
 Bureau of Animal Industry: Veterinarians are in demand for in- 
 spection work in the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Depart- 
 ment of Agriculture, at salaries ranging from $1,400 to $2,500. 
 
 Army Veterinary Service: Excellent opportunities are now offered 
 to young veterinarians in the United States Army. The Army Veteri- 
 nary Corps is organized as a part of the Medical Department of the 
 Army, and army veterinarians receive the rank, pay, and allowances of 
 commissioned army officers, entering with the rank of lieutenant at 
 $1,700 per year, with excellent opportunity for advancement in rank, 
 with corresponding increases in salary and allowances. These positions 
 are very desirable, and include a wide range of professional work. 
 
 Municipal and State Work: Owing to the fact that the larger cities. 
 are rapidly inaugurating systems of milk and meat inspection, there 
 is an increasing demand for competent veterinarians drilled in Bacteriol- 
 ogy and Pathology. A large number of state positions are also open, 
 on account of the rigid laws governing inter-state shipment of live stock 
 which are being enacted by the various states. 
 
 Sanitation: The value of the educated veterinarian as a sanitarian is 
 being recognized and positions are open in this field. 
 
 Education and Research: The demand for men capable of doing in- 
 vestigation work in animal diseases, associated work in connection with 
 State Experiment Stations, and of filling various teaching positions in 
 agricultural and veterinary colleges, has been greater than the supply. 
 
 Commercial Work: The lines of commercial work which demand 
 trained veterinarians are increasing yearly. These include positions with 
 railway companies, live stock concerns, in biological laboratories, pharma- 
 ceutical houses, etc. The demand for qualified veterinarians exceeds the 
 supply, and many graduates go directly from college to positions pay- 
 ing $150 per month and upward.

 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Course in Industrial Science and Veterinary Medicine (six years) 
 
 Leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science and the degree of Doctor 
 of Veterinary Medicine. 
 
 The following course is designed to meet the need of the students who 
 wish to secure a thorough foundation in the biological and chemical 
 sciences preliminary to the studying of veterinary medicine. The degree 
 of Bachelor of Science is granted at the end of the fourth year, and the 
 degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine upon the completion of the 
 sixth year. The increased time at the disposal of the student gives an 
 opportunity to prepare himself efficiently for investigational work. 
 
 At the present time the better colleges granting degrees in human 
 medicine require two years of collegiate preparation. Veterinary Medi- 
 cine is quite as exacting in its requirements of students, particularly 
 those who wish to go into governmental or research work. The oppor- 
 tunities open to students well grounded both in science and in veterinary 
 medicine are excellent. Many positions in the Bureau of Animal In- 
 dustry of the Department of Agriculture, in the experiment stations of 
 our land grant colleges, and in the teaching staffs of our various veteri- 
 nary schools and agricultural colleges, are opened every year. It has 
 been in the past practically impossible to secure men with the right 
 training. This course is designed to train men for such positions. 
 
 For pre-technical studies required for this course, see page 8.

 Short Course for Practitioners in Veterinary Medicine 
 
 It is proposed to arrange the course so that practitioners may spend 
 a few days at Ames and get the latest and best that is being made 
 available in any state or country. 
 
 Definition of a Credit: The amount of work in each study is expressed 
 in credits, a credit meaning one recitation or its equivalent a week 
 throughout the quarter. It is considered that a one-hour recitation or 
 lecture will require as much time including preparation as a three-hour 
 laboratory, and therefore should be given the same credit. Any two- 
 hour laboratory period is equivalent to two-thirds of a credit. 
 
 Study Numbers: In each department the studies, for convenience of 
 reference, are given in numerical order.

 The Department of Anatomy gives instruction to students in both 
 Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry. The laboratories are well 
 equipped. In histology and osteology each student is assigned an in- 
 dividual desk provided with a microscope, 100 permanent mounts of 
 tissue, laboratory notes, and one-half skeleton of disarticulated bones of 
 
26 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 the horse. The dissecting room is modern, sanitary, and well equipped. 
 All cadavers are preserved. Students in Animal Husbandry prepare for 
 their work in nutrition and stock judging. Veterinary students should 
 have a detailed knowledge of the structure of the domestic animals and 
 birds to understand properly Physiology, Pathology, Diagnosis, Surgery, 
 and Medicine. 
 
 The following methods are used in teaching anatomy: didactic in- 
 struction, quiz, specimen demonstration, specimen study, lantern slide 
 demonstration, dissection, sketching, the use of the living horse for 
 palpating and outlining the structures. A large and well selected number 
 of specimens and lantern slides are used in the class and laboratory 
 demonstrations to emphasize the most important structures and their 
 relations from a clinical standpoint. These are also available for student 
 use. In the laboratory special attention is given to fascial compartments, 
 joint pouchings, vaginal sheaths, bursae, and topography. Class work 
 in splanchnology also covers the microscopic anatomy. 
 
 The class work is mostly quizzes, with supplemental statements and 
 demonstrations by the instructors to fix the knowledge of the structures 
 of the animal body gained in the laboratory by the student.

 The study of medicine summarizes and shows the application in prac- 
 tice of the training previously received in Anatomy, Physiology, Path- 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 27 
 
 ology, Bacteriology, and Therapeutics. The work is given in the form 
 of lectures and clinical demonstrations and extends throughout the 
 Junior and Senior years. Diagnostic methods employed in the detection 
 of animal diseases are carried out by each student on the various organs 
 and systems of the different species of animals. The surrounding com- 
 munity furnishes an abundance of material for such work. When cases 
 cannot be brought to the hospital, students are taken to the farms and 
 given actual practice in the diagnosis and treatment of the cases under 
 supervision of an experienced member of the faculty. The latter arrange- 
 ment provides a large variety of cases and gives opportunity to observe 
 both healthy and diseased animals under natural farm conditions, and 
 the student is taught how to overcome difficulties frequently met with 
 on farms where facilities are restricted. 
 
 Infectious diseases are considered in detail, diagnosis and methods of 
 control being especially emphasized. 
 
 General sanitation and hygiene are taken up with special reference to 
 the most practical means of keeping animals in health and preventing 
 diseases. 
 
 On completion of the Senior year the student has not only the theo- 
 retical knowledge, but some of the most practical methods of applying 
 such knowledge. The transition from the student to the practitioner 
 presents little difficulty after such training.

 The Department of Veterinary Pathology and Bacteriology occupies 
 the northeast building of the veterinary group. Two offices open directly 
 into a private laboratory that is used by those in charge to investigate 
 problems pertaining to their lines of work. A large general student 
 laboratory facing the north, east, and west is well lighted and supplied 
 with individual equipment for a section of thirty students. A pathology 
 preparation room, a bacteriology preparation room and a room-incubator 
 open into the main laboratory. A class lecture room to accommodate 
 fifty students is equipped with a combination lantern-slide, microscopic 
 projection, and photomicrographic machine. In the basement are six 
 rooms for the housing of small experimental animals, for the preparation 
 and mounting of museum specimens, and for storage of supplies, and 
 a large storage room for museum specimens used by the department. 
 
 The work of the department consists of a systematic study of the 
 
28 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 causes of disease and the manner in which these causes bring about 
 alterations in the anatomical structure and chemical and physiological 
 activities of animal tissues. The application of this study renders diag- 
 nosis more accurate and forms the foundation for rational therapeutics.

 The southeast building of the Veterinary group is devoted to work in 
 Physiology, Pharmacy, Materia Medica, and Therapeutics. This build- 
 ing was planned for the investigation and teaching of physiological and 
 pharmacological subjects, and is admirably arranged and equipped for 
 the pursuance of general or research work along these lines. 
 
 In the general laboratories, students are provided with individual 
 equipment as far as possible, and thus self reliance and individual 
 responsibility are developed. The laboratories have been newly equipped 
 and are thoroughly up-to-date. The latest apparatus for practical physi- 
 ological, pharmacological, or pharmaceutical demonstration and labora- 
 tory work is available. 
 
 Before attempting a proper conception of diseased conditions it is 
 necessary to have an understanding of the normal functions of the body 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 29 
 
 structures. The purpose of the work in Physiology is to make a de- 
 tailed study of the normal functions and activities of the cells, tissues, 
 organs, and systems constituting the animal body. The work is pre- 
 sented in the form of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and practical 
 laboratory work in which the chemical and physical processes of the 
 animal body are considered in logical order. The lecture work is supple- 
 mented by the use of dissected specimens, practical demonstrations, and 
 drawings. The laboratory work is devoted to the study of the respira- 
 tory, circulatory, muscular, and nervous systems; also digestion and 
 absorption, and the circulating fluids of the body. 
 
 As Pharmacy and Materia Medica are prerequisite to Therapeutics, 
 these subjects are considered in the order named; the work is presented 
 as lectures, recitations, laboratory, and demonstration work.

 The Department of Surgery is especially well equipped for its teach- 
 ing. The hospital is 160 feet long by 60 feet wide; has a stall capacity 
 for 42 large animals, 22 dogs, and other small animals, and contains 
 three operating rooms. The largest, 65 by 30 feet, is used for examining 
 animals as they are admitted, and for minor operations and treatment. 
 Joining it is a clinical amphitheatre; next to this is the second operating 
 room for large animals, equipped with an hydraulic operating table, X-ray 
 apparatus, and other conveniences. Between the operating room and 
 clinic room is a dispensary and instrument room. On the upper floor, 
 
30 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 near the kennels, is a small animal operating room equipped with white 
 enamel furniture; also operating instruments and modern steam steri- 
 lizers for water, instruments, and dressings. 
 
 During the school year more than eight thousand cases, including a 
 wide range of surgical conditions, are operated upon and treated in the 
 clinics, each case being assigned to a Senior student with one or more 
 Junior assistants. All operations are performed by the professors in 
 charge, and the after treatment is always under their direction, the idea 
 being that the clinical cases are in no way experimental, but that they 
 shall be treated as similar cases are to be treated later in practice. 
 
 All the class room work in surgery is conducted in the amphitheatre 
 in the hospital building, where animals affected with conditions under 
 discussion as well as instruments and apparatus to be used in diagnosis, 
 treatment, or restraint, can be brought before the class. Clinic cases 
 are constantly used to correlate the theoretical and the practical.

 The department is being supported by special appropriations made by 
 the legislature, and laboratories and experimental animal rooms are 
 equipped for this special work. There are but few animal diseases en- 
 tirely understood, and many are understood in no particular. It is the 
 object of this department to investigate such diseases with the view of 
 working out some method by which they can be controlled or eradicated. 
 
 One feature of the work of this department is the diagnosis of disease 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 31 
 
 by laboratory methods and examination of tissues. Veterinarians and 
 livestock owners are encouraged to send to the laboratory tissues and 
 materials from doubtful cases. Careful and painstaking examination 
 of these is made, and animal inoculations are carried out for those cases 
 which promise something new or rare. Reports of such examinations are 
 submitted to the sender, and his cooperation is solicited in working out 
 the cases. Accurate records of such work are kept on file in the labora- 
 tory and are available to members of the Veterinary Division at all times 
 for their study and use. Thus the work of the department supports the 
 instruction work and assists in keeping such instruction modern. 
 
 VETERINARY MEDICAL SOCIETY 
 
 The Veterinary Medical Society is an organization of veterinary stu- 
 dents. Two meetings are held each month and topics relating to veteri- 
 nary medicine are discussed. All veterinary students become members 
 and much benefit is derived along literary, social, and professional lines.

 Under the provisions of the National Defense Act the College has 
 secured the authorization and establishment of four units of the Reserve 
 Officers' Training Corps: Infantry, Field Artillery, Engineers, and Veter- 
 inary. The primary object of establishing R. O. T. C. units at certain 
 selected educational institutions is to qualify by systematic and standard 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 33 
 
 methods of training, students at civil educational institutions for reserve 
 officers. The system of instruction prescribed presents to these students 
 a standardized measure of that military training which is necessary in 
 order to prepare them intelligently for the duties of commissioned officers 
 in the military forces of the United States. The aim of the course is 
 not only to make of the student a well trained soldier, able to fulfill 
 his military, obligations in the time of emergency, but to qualify him 
 as a competent leader and instructor of others. 
 
 The four-year course leading to a commission is divided into two 
 parts. The first two years is known as the Basic Course and the last 
 two years the Advanced Course. The Basic Course is required by the 
 College as a prerequisite to graduation of all physically fit male students 
 excepting those who are not citizens of the United States or who are 
 members of the army, navy, or marine corps. Upon the successful com- 
 pletion of the Basic Course the student may be enrolled in the Ad- 
 vanced Course, provided his application is approved by the Professor 
 of Military Science and Tactics and the President. Members of the 
 Reserve Officers' Training Corps will have their uniforms furnished by 
 the Government. All other students will receive information as to 
 prices from the commanding officer of the military department. 
 
 Advanced Course in the R. O. T. C. In the Junior and Senior years 
 of each collegiate course of study given in the catalogue, certain sub- 
 jects are marked with a dagger (t). If a student is appointed to the 
 Reserve Officers 7 Training Corps, he may omit all or part of the sub- 
 jects thus marked, in each quarter, provided that in omitting these sub- 
 jects he- does not omit more credit hours than the Reserve Officers' 
 Training Corps requires of him for the same quarter. If the omitted 
 subjects would exceed the number of hours required for the Training 
 Corps, an elective must be taken which will bring the total number of 
 hours for the quarter up to the requirements specified for that quarter 
 in that course of study. 
 
 Those who wish to enter the service as Veterinarians should enroll in 
 the course in Veterinary Medicine.

General Information 
 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 
 The laws of the United States and State of Iowa provide for the scope 
 and the management of the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 
 Arts. It is under the State Board of Education, which consists of nine 
 members nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. This 
 Board appoints a finance committee consisting of three men who give 
 their entire time to the management of the five state educational insti- 
 tutions of Iowa, of which the Board is in charge, under provision of the 
 law and such rules and regulations as the State Board of Education 
 may prescribe. 
 
 GOVERNMENT 
 
 The character of the College buildings and the nature of the work 
 make order, punctuality, and systematic effort indispensable. The insti- 
 tution offers no inducement to the idler or the self-indulgent. All who 
 are too independent to submit to needful authority, too reckless to accept 
 wholesome restraint, or too careless to take advantage of their opportuni- 
 ties, are advised not to come. The discipline of the College is confined 
 mainly to sending away those who prove, on fair trial, to be of this 
 class. The final decision of all cases of discipline rests with the Presi- 
 dent of the College except when he delegates such power in particular 
 cases to the deans or to some one of the standing committees of the 
 faculty. 
 
 HISTORY 
 
 An act establishing "A State Agricultural College and Model Farm" 
 to be connected with the entire agricultural interests of the state was 
 passed by the legislature of Iowa in 1858. This legislature also appoint- 
 ed a board of commissioners to buy a farm and erect a college building, 
 and selected a board of trustees to secure a faculty and organize a col- 
 lege. In 1859 a farm of six hundred and forty acres situated near 
 Ames, was purchased. 
 
 In 1862 Congress enacted, and President Lincoln signed a bill entitled, 
 "An act donating public lands to the several States and Territories, 
 which may provide colleges for the benefit of Agriculture and the 
 Mechanic Arts." 
 
 Section 1 of this act provides that for the support of such colleges 
 there be granted "an amount of public land, to be apportioned to each 
 State in quantity equal to thirty thousand acres for each Senator and 
 Eepresentative in Congress to which the States are respectively entitled 
 by the apportionment under the census of 1860." 
 
 Section 4 requires: "That all moneys derived from the sale of land 
 shall constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain for- 
 ever undiminished, and the interest of which shall inviolably be appor- 
 tioned by each State which may take and claim the benefit of this act, 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICINE 35 
 
 to the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college, 
 where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and 
 classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches 
 of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such 
 manner as the Legislature of the State may provide, in order to promote 
 the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several 
 pursuits and professions of life." 
 
 The General Assembly of Iowa, September 11, 1862, accepted the 
 grant upon the conditions and under the restrictions contained in the 
 act of Congress, and by so doing entered into contract with the General 
 Government to erect and keep in repair all buildings necessary for the 
 use of the College. By action of the General Assembly the College was 
 changed from an agricultural institution into a College of Agriculture 
 and Mechanic Arts with the broad and liberal course of study outlined 
 in the following paragraph. The College was formally opened on the 
 seventeenth day of March, 1869. 
 
 In 1884 the General Assembly passed an act defining the course of 
 study to be pursued as follows: "Section 1. That Section 1621 of the 
 Code is hereby repealed and the following is enacted in lieu thereof: 
 'Section 1621. There shall be adopted and taught in the State Agricul- 
 tural College, a broad, liberal and practical course of study, in which 
 the leading branches of learning shall relate to agriculture and the me- 
 chanic arts and which shall also embrace such other branches of learn- 
 ing as will most practically and liberally educate the agricultural and 
 industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life, including 
 military tactics. Section 2. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent 
 with this act are hereby repealed. " 
 
 August thirtieth the following act was approved by President Harri- 
 son: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
 United States in Congress assembled, that there shall be and hereby is, 
 annually appropriated, out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise 
 appropriated, arising from the sales of public lands, to be paid, as here- 
 inafter provided, to each State and Territory for the more complete en- 
 dowment and maintenance of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and 
 the mechanic arts now established, or which may hereafter be estab- 
 lished, in accordance with an act of Congress approved July second, 
 eighteen hundred and sixty-two, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for 
 the year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety, and an 
 annual increase of the amount of such appropriation thereafter for ten 
 years by an additional sum of one thousand dollars over the preceding 
 year, and the annual amount to be paid thereafter to each State and 
 Territory shall be twenty-five thousand dollars, to be applied only to 
 instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts, the English language and 
 the various branches of mathematical, physical, natural and economic 
 sciences, with especial reference to their application in the industries of 
 life, and to facilities for such instruction." 
 
 The income of the College from national and state sources is there- 
 fore expended in instruction, experimentation, and illustration in agri- 
 culture and in the mechanic arts, and in the underlying and related sci- 
 ences and literature. All buildings are erected and all repairs thereon 
 are made by the State of Iowa. 
 
 The college property is valued at $4,962,253.28. 
 
 LOCATION 
 
 The College occupies a delightful and healthful location upon high, 
 rolling land in the west part of Ames, Story County. Situated at the 
 junction of the north and south branch and the main double track line 
 
36 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 of the Chicago & Northwestern Kailroad, and connected with all the 
 trunk lines of Iowa, Ames is easily accessible from all parts of the state. 
 An electric railway connects Ames and the College. The Fort Dodge, 
 Des Moines and Southern Eailway (electric) with stations on the campus 
 gives efficient service to the College and connections with the following 
 trunk lines: At Fort Dodge, with the Illinois Central and Chicago- 
 Great Western; at Huxley, with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; at 
 Des Moines with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago Great 
 Western, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 
 
 Ames is a most desirable town for wholesome college influences. Its 
 people are thrifty, enterprising, and cordial. The town has an excellent 
 system of public schools, numerous churches, waterworks, and electric 
 lights, and it also has a good city government. It is an inviting com- 
 munity for heads of families who wish to educate their children and en- 
 joy a good environment at a reasonable expense. Ames and the College 
 are on very cordial terms, and the citizens of Ames seek to promote the 
 efforts of the students and the highest interests of the College. 
 
 GROUNDS 
 
 Of the entire College domain of 1,598 acres, 125 acres are set apart for 
 College grounds. These include the experimental plots, the young for- 
 estry plantations, the surroundings of professors' dwellings, and the cen- 
 tral campus with its beautiful walks and drives, its trees, shrubbery and 
 flower gardens, and its large and stately buildings. The true principles 
 of landscape gardening have been so faithfully observed in the garden- 
 ing and in the location of buildings and drives as to make the entire 
 campus a large and beautiful park. 
 
 BUILDINGS 
 
 Fifty-seven commodious buildings besides the dwelling houses and the 
 buildings for farm stock, machinery, and work, have been erected by the 
 State for the exclusive use of the various departments of the College. 
 All of these buildings are heated by steam, lighted by electricity, and 
 supplied with pure water. 
 
 The following is a summary of the property, including the buildings 
 belonging to the College:

 EMPLOYMENT TOR STUDENTS 
 
 Although this institution is not situated in a large center where there 
 is an unlimited amount of employment for students, yet there are a 
 large number who can earn a part of their expenses here at College. 
 Very few are able to make all their expenses, and no young man should 
 come expecting to do this unless he has made definite arrangements pre- 
 vious to his coming. 
 
 The work available for students consists of employment in the various 
 departments, such as office work, caring for stock, helping in dairy, 
 greenhouses, orchards, shops, or janitor work about the buildings. Con- 
 siderable work for students is also obtained in the business houses and 
 homes of Ames; a limited number find employment in student clubs and 
 in the cafeteria. 
 
 The Employment Bureaus are managed as follows: For men, by the 
 Young Men's Christian Association. Eegular work for women, Miss 
 Harwood, Dean of women; odd hour jobs for women, the Young Wo- 
 men's Christian Association. The heads of various departments are able 
 to secure employment for large numbers of students during the summer 
 vacation. Such positions give the students practical work that is closely 
 related to the instruction given in college, and thereby strengthens them 
 for service after graduation. # 
 
 During the present year several hundred students have found work 
 through the Association Employment Bureaus. It is suggested that, on 
 account of the heavy laboratory work required in the courses here, stu- 
 dents should not come expecting to put in too much time in labor. 
 Facts regarding opportunity for work at the College can be had by writ- 
 ing Secretary, Y. M. C. A., or Secretary, Y. W. C. A., or Miss Hazel 
 Harwood, Dean of Women. 
 
 Manual Labor 
 
 The following regulations in regard to manual labor have been adopted 
 by the Board of Education. 
 
 1. The manual labor of students is divided into two kinds; unin- 
 structive labor, which shall be paid for in money; and instructive labor, 
 which shall be compensated by the instruction given and the skill 
 acquired. 
 
 2. Uninstructive labor shall comprise all the operations in the work- 
 shop, the garden, upon the farm, and elsewhere, in which the work done 
 accrues to the benefit of the College, and not to that of the student. 
 Instructive labor shall embrace all those operations in the workshop, 
 museum, laboratories, veterinary hospital, experimental kitchen, gardens, 
 experimental stations, and on the farm, — labor in which the sole pur- 
 pose is the acquisition of knowledge and skill. 
 
 3. Students shall engage in instructive labor in the presence of the 
 professor in charge, and under his instruction according to the state- 
 ment made in each of the courses of study. 
 
 The compensated labor furnished by the division of Agriculture, of 
 Veterinary Medicine, and of Engineering, is given by each to its own 
 students and is eagerly sought. Compensated labor is awarded to the 
 most faithful and meritorious students in each department. This labor 
 is paid for according to its value to the College, but no student should 
 expect to pay the main part of his expenses by labor while here. The 
 College cannot furnish the work and, even if it could, the student's time 
 is needed chiefly for study. Still, many worthy and industrious students 
 pay a considerable part of their expenses by labor; over $25,000 is paid 
 out by the College thus each year to students and graduate assistants. 
 
38 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 HOSPITAL 
 
 Sanitary conditions surrounding the College are excellent. The build- 
 ings are situated on high ground with good natural drainage. The 
 water supply is exceptionally pure and abundant. The sewer system and 
 sewage disposal plant are the best that modern sanitary engineering 
 can devise. Nevertheless in this, as in other like institutions, where 
 students are drawn from a wide territory, various diseases are brought 
 by the students themselves. In order to control epidemics and properly 
 care for other cases of illness or injury, a hospital is provided. A 
 new hospital of 45 beds capacity with a large dispensatory and all mod- 
 ern conveniences has been constructed. In connection with this is the 
 old hospital of 18 beds for special cases. This hospital is under the 
 charge of the Department of Hygiene. There are three physicians, a 
 head nurse with the necessary number of assistant nurses, and other 
 employees necessary for the operation of a completely equipped, modern 
 hospital. 
 
 The expenses of the hospital are defrayed from a fund accruing from 
 the fees paid by students. A portion ($2.) of the full incidental fee of 
 $6. per quarter is apportioned for hospital charges and the privileges of 
 the hospital and dispensary are extended to all students paying this 
 fee, providing that tne physicians shall be paid for calls at their resi- 
 dences. Persons not making the deposit will be admitted to the hospital 
 upon the basis of a charge of $21.00 a week, within the discretion of 
 the College physicians. All students who pay the full regular fee are 
 insured medical attendance, nursing, and medicine, in illness or accident; 
 and consultation and medicine for minor ailments in accordance with 
 the regulations herein published. The charges named are based upon 
 the probable actual cost of medical attention and hospital service, and 
 the fund created is carefully devoted to these purposes. The College 
 cannot assume any liability beyond the extent of the fund so created. 
 The hospital has proved to be a great blessing to the students. 
 
 The following regulations apply to the privileges of the hospital: 
 
 1. Students entering the hospital shall be charged $8.50 a week ($1.25 
 per day) for board, room, light, and heat. But for any time in excess of 
 three consecutive weeks spent in the hospital, a charge shall be made 
 of $1;50 per day. 
 
 2. In case a special nurse or physician is employed, the expense shall 
 be borne by the particular patient, the selection of such nurse or phy- 
 sician to be approved by the President of the College and the College 
 Physicians. 
 
 3. The College assumes no responsibility whatever in case of small- 
 pox; nor shall the privileges of the hospital be extended to such cases. 
 
 4. The President and the College Physicians may require of students 
 entering the College a certificate of a reputable physician .showing suc- 
 cessful vaccination. On account of prevalence of smallpox in some locali- 
 ties in the United States, it is strongly urged that all students entering 
 Iowa State College be vaccinated before leaving home. This is recom- 
 mended in order that valuable time may not be lost during the college 
 year by the necessity of being vaccinated. 
 
 5. The College physicians are authorized to exclude from the dormi- 
 tories and recitation rooms any person afflicted with a contagious 
 disease. 
 
 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 
 
 The Alumni Association of the Iowa State College was organized in 
 1876. Its purpose is to promote the highest interests of the institution 
 and to increase friendship and sympathy among students and alumni. 
 
DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDIdNi: 39 
 
 The present officers of the association are: 
 
 President, M. J. Riggs, '83, Toledo, Ohio. 
 
 Vice-President, Mark G. Thornburg, '10, Emmetsburg, Iowa.

 Treasurer, Herman Knapp, '83, Ames Iowa. 
 
 General Secretary, Ward M. Jones, '97, Ames, Iowa. 
 
 The annual meeting and banquet is held commencement week. A local 
 association was organized at Ames in April, 1903, in order to arrange the 
 annual .meetings and to keep the local alumni in touch with one another. 
 
 Active local branches of the general association exist in Southern and 
 Northern California, Washington, D. C, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Spokane, 
 Seattle, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Omaha, New York City, Kansas City, 
 Detroit, Cleveland, Fargo, N. D., and Brookings, S. D.; in the state, at 
 Des Moines, Sioux City, Davenport, Cedar Rapids and in several 
 counties. 
 
 The Alumnus, the official organ of the association, appears monthly 
 except in August and September. It is under the supervision of the 
 general secretary. 
 
 The offices of the association are on the second floor of Alumni Hall, 
 where all alumni and ex-students will find a hearty welcome. 
 
 STUDENT PUBLICATIONS 
 
 The Iowa State Student is a tri-weekly newspaper published by a staff 
 appointed from the student body and devoted to the news of the College. 
 
 The Iowa Agriculturist is an agricultural monthly magazine published 
 by the students of the Agricultural Division, in cooperation with the De- 
 partment of Agricultural Journalism. 
 
 The Iowa Engineer is published monthly by the students of the En- 
 gineering Division. 
 
 The Iowa Home Maker is a home magazine published monthly by the 
 students of the Home Economics Division. 
 
 The Bomb is an annual published by the Junior class. 
 
 PUBLIC SPEAKING COUNCIL 
 
 The Public Speaking Council is an organization composed of three 
 faculty members recommended by the President of the College and ap- 
 pointed by the Board of Education; and one representative from each 
 of the eight literary societies, the sophomore, the junior, and the senior 
 classes, and the Dramatic Club. The Council promotes and manages all 
 dramatic and public speaking activities at Iowa State College. These 
 activities include intersociety and intercollegiate debates, dramatic, 
 oratorical, and extempore speaking contests, joint literary society pro- 
 grams, literary society graduation exercises, and all class plays. 
 
 Teams of three members from each of the societies meet in two series 
 of debates during the fall quarter. In the spring the successive winners 
 meet in the semi-final and final debates for the Kennedy cup. The final 
 winners are awarded the cup for one year, and the name of their society 
 is inscribed upon it. This series of debates offers excellent training for 
 the inter-collegiate debates. Iowa State College is a member of three 
 debating leagues. In the fall two debating teams of three students meet 
 Kansas Agricultural College; in the spring, Purdue University, Michigan 
 Agricultural College, Wisconsin and Minnesota. 
 
 There is a growing interest in extemporaneous speaking in Iowa State 
 College. The members of the faculty have donated to the Council a 
 trophy to be awarded annually to the winner of the extempore speaking 
 •contest.

 The sophomore, junior, senior, inter-literary society, and dramatic club 
 plays offer training in dramatics to a great many students. The funds 
 from these plays pay a large part of the expenses of public speaking 
 events. 
 
 LITERARY SOCIETIES 
 
 The work of the eight literary societies serves not only to supplement 
 the social and literary work of the College, but also to aid the student 
 in securing that training so necessary to enable him to appear before an 
 audience, that training which every student needs and which cannot be 
 secured in the class room alone. Every student is invited, even urged, 
 to join one of these societies.

 RELIGIOUS LIFE AT THE COLLEGE 
 
 Orange Howard Cessna, Chaplain 
 
 Fred M. Hansen, General Secretary, Y. M. C. A. 
 
 Angeline McKinley, General Secretary, Y. W. C. A. 
 
 The college life is permeated with religious influences. The following 
 are among the more evident moral and religious forces in operation 
 throughout the year: 
 
 1. The Sunday Morning Chapel Services are held in Agricultural 
 Hall auditorium and are addressed by prominent clergymen of all denom- 
 inations who accept special invit.ations to come to the College for this 
 purpose. These services are well attended. Usually the hall is filled to 
 its capacity of nearly 900. An attractive feature is the music furnished 
 by a choir of about seventy college students. 
 
 2. The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. 
 These two organizations are quartered in Alumni Hall on the campus, 
 where parlors, reading rooms, game rooms, a cafeteria, etc. are provided. 
 The room and employment bureau for men is handled by the Y. M. C. A. 
 The Y. W. C. A. handles the employment bureau for women with the 
 exception of those working for room and board, who are placed by the 
 Dean of Women. It also has the room registry for faculty and other 
 employed women. Both carry on a varied and vigorous religious work, 
 religious meetings, Bible classes in the houses where students room, 
 and other activities tending to build up the moral and spiritual life of 
 students. At times the total number of Bible classes reaches nearly 100. 
 The two Associations are rated as among the leading organizations of 
 their kind in the United States. 
 
 3. College Pastors and Church Work. Several churches maintain col- 
 lege pastors for work with students as their specific task. These are as 
 follows: Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian. All Ames 
 pastors and churches maintain special work for students. There are ten 
 denominations represented and students find an unusual opportunity 
 not only for worship but for active participation in Sunday School, 
 Young People's work and other special forms of Christian effort. 
 
 Geneva Scholarship 
 
 The Faculty Women's Club contributes $50 towards the expenses of 
 a delegate to the Y. W. C. A. Central Student Conference at Lake 
 Geneva. This fund is awarded the third quarter of the Sophomore year 
 by a committee from the club. Scholarship, accomplishment in Y. W. 
 C. A. work, interest in general college activities, and personality are the 
 points considered in making the award.
