 The Late President IV. M. Beardshear

 And afternoon, and night, 
 Forenoon and — what! 
 
 The empty song repeats itself. No more? 
 Yea, that is Life; make this forenoon sublime, 
 This afternoon ;i psalm, this night a prayer, 
 And Time is eononered, and thy erown is won."

IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 FACULTY TRIBUTE 
 
 The faculty of the Iowa State College, moved by feelings of pro- 
 found sorrow and deepest sympathy in the great loss of our lamented 
 President, hereby unite in expression of the following appreciation. 
 
 The loss of an eminent leader in any rank of life is a misfortune 
 of far reaching consequence, but the loss of a great leader of educa- 
 tional and moral forces is especially to be deplored. It rarely falls to 
 the lot of any man to possess in such large measure the general 
 esteem and confidence, and to impress so deeply for good, the lives of 
 so many people of all classes, as was reached and influenced by Dr. 
 Beardshear. No one could know him but to be the better for his 
 acquaintance. His genial personality, gentleness and strength, were 
 ever a source of renewed energy and higher endeavor. His labors as 
 President of the Iowa State College were the crowning work of a fruit- 
 ful life. Coming to the institution at a critical period, he rendered an 
 eminent service which was the product of a master mind and genius. 
 His personal achievements were of the highest order, but in addition 
 he possessed that rare and essential quality of every great leader, — 
 the faculty of developing and stimulating the best that is in every one 
 else. 
 
 The leadership of President Beardshear was in every way typical 
 of a great life, such a life as Lowell characterized in the following 
 lines: 
 
 All thoughts that mould the age begin 
 Deep down within the primitive soul, 
 And from the many slowly upward win, 
 To one who grasps the whole. 
 
 The deej), silent forces and the earnest, exalted purposes that 
 were the source of power in President Beardshear's life, were mani- 
 fest in all his work. His plans, born of a large heart, a keen percep- 
 tion and intuitive mind, were always broad and progressive and typi- 
 cal of his inspiring faith, and his generous and magnanimous nature. 
 His work was peculiarly original; striking in conception, and masterful 
 in execution. Though entering a new field on assuming the duties of 
 
FACULTY TRIBUTE 7 
 
 executive of an Agricultural and Mechanical College, the broad sym- 
 pathies with humanity, and his active interest in the industrial profes- 
 sions, enabled him at once to grasp the needs and understand the 
 functions and purposes of the land-grant colleges so comprehensively 
 and intelligently that he became the acknowledged leader in the ranks 
 of all similar institutions of America, and he was unanimously accorded 
 the distinguished honor of the presidency of the National Educational 
 Association, an honor never before conferred upon a citizen of Iowa, 
 or an officer of a land-grant college. It was his work more than that 
 of any other man of his time that served to place industrial and prac- 
 tical education in its true light, and to command the respect and ad- 
 miration of the educational forces of the world. 
 
 His prophetic vision, his keen perception and accurate analysis, 
 and above all, his sublime faith, were inspiring to all who came under 
 the influence of his magic power, and his qualities of leadership were 
 inherent and without effort. 
 
 President Beardshear was an ideal leader and director of the 
 efforts and work of his assistants, the faculty and instructors of this 
 college. As a leader he foresaw the needs, secured the material 
 means, and selected those who could best assist him in carrying out 
 his plans. As a director of our efforts and work, he had the happy 
 way of placing and inspiring confidence so that effort was united, and 
 work was done without friction and with results fruitful along the lines 
 he had laid down for the guidance of the institution to the permanent 
 success which he desired. 
 
 To his associates he manifested the purest friendship and the 
 noblest manhood; and more than leader and director, President 
 Beardshear was a friend to each and all of us and his friendship was 
 the reward most sought by his co-workers of the faculty, and furnished 
 sufficient inspiratien for untiring energy on our part during his life, 
 and now strengthens and inspires us to carry on the task so well be- 
 gun under his wise, energetic and friendly direction. 
 
"One of the wisest things this government ever did was to make 
 ample provision for the great agricultural institutions in this land. We 
 now have more than half a hundred of them to testify to the worth 
 and sagacity of the Congress of these United States." — President 
 McKinley, at Ames, Iowa, in October, 1898.

18 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 HISTORICAL 
 
 In 1858 the Legislature of Iowa passed an act to establish 
 "A State Agricultural College and Model Farm," to be connected 
 with the entire agricultural interests of the State; appointed a 
 board of commissioners to buy a farm and erect a college build- 
 ing, and elected a board of trustees to select a faculty and organ- 
 ize a college. In 1859 a farm of six hundred and forty acres, 
 situated near Ames, was purchased for the use of the college. 
 The farm now contains eight hundred and forty acres. 
 
 In 1862 a bill was passed by Congress, entitled, "An act 
 donating public lands to the several States and Territories, 
 which may provide colleges for the benefit of Agriculture arid the 
 Mechanic Arts." 
 
 Section 1 of this act provides that for the support ot such 
 colleges there be granted "an amount of public land, to be appor- 
 tioned to each State in quantity to equal 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; provided that no mineral lands shall be selected 
 or purchased under the provisions of this act." 
 
 Section 4 requires: "That all moneys derived from the sale 
 of lands aforesaid by the States to which lands are apportioned, 
 and from the sale of land script, hereinbefore provided for, shall 
 constitute a perpetual fund, the capital of which shall remain 
 forever undiminished (except as may be provided for in section 
 fifth of this act), and the interest of which shall inviolably be 
 apportioned by each State which may take and claim the benefit 
 of this act, 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." 
 
 Section 5 says: "And be it further enacted, that the grant 
 of land and land script hereby authorized, shall be made on the 
 following conditions, to which, as well as the provisions herein- 
 
20 IOWA STATE COLLEG1 
 
 before contained, the previous absent o; the several States shall 
 be signified by legislative acts; first, if any portion of the fund, 
 invested as provided by the foregoing section, or any portion of 
 the interest thereon, shall, by any action or contingency, be 
 diminished or lost, it shall be replaced by the State to which it 
 belongs, so that the capital of the fund shall remain forever 
 undiminished; and the annual interest shall be regularly applied 
 without diminution to the purposes mentioned in the fourth sec- 
 tion of this act, except that a sum not exceeding ten per centum 
 upon the amount received by any State under the provisions 
 of this act, may be expended for the purchase of land for sites 
 or experimental farms, wherever authorized by the respective 
 Legislatures of said States. Second, no portion of said fund nor 
 the interest thereon shall be applied, directly or indirectly, under 
 any pretense whatever, to the purchase, erection, preservation or 
 repair of any building or buildings." 
 
 The General Assembly of Iowa, September 11, 1862, accepted 
 the grant upon the conditions and under the restrictions con- 
 tained in the act of Congress, and by so doing entered into con- 
 tract with the General Government to erect and keep in repair all 
 buildings necessary for the use of the College. By this action of 
 the General Assembly the College was changed from an agricul- 
 tural institution into a College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, 
 with the broad and liberal course of study outlined in the follow- 
 ing paragraph. 
 
 In 1882 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 learn- 
 ing 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 incon- 
 sistent with this act are hereby repealed." 
 
 August 30th the following act was approved by President 
 Harrison: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represen- 
 tatives 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 
 
HISTORICAL 21 
 
 of public lands, to be paid as hereinafter provided, to each State 
 and Territory for the more complete endowment and mainten- 
 ance of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic 
 arts now established, or which may hereafter be established, 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 appropria- 
 tion 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 science, with 
 special reference to their application in the industries of life, and 
 to facilities for such instruction." 
 
 The income of the College from National grants is therefore 
 expended in instruction, experimentation and illustration in agri- 
 culture and in the mechanic arts, and in underlying and related 
 science and literature. 
 
 All buildings are erected and all repairs thereon are made 
 by the State of Iowa, the cost down to date being about $600,000. 
 
 The College was formally opened on the 17th of March, 1869.

 AMES AND THE COLLEGE 
 
 The College occupies a delightful and healthful location upon 
 high rolling land, just west of Ames, Story County. The railroad 
 facilities for reaching Ames from every part of the State are 
 excellent. It is at the junction of the Des Moines and the north- 
 western branches and the main line of the Chicago & North- 
 western R. R. The main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. 
 Paul intersects the Northwestern at Slater, eleven miles south, 
 and the through line of the same system at Algona on the north. 
 The main line of the Illinois Central intersects the Chicago & 
 Northwestern at Webster City, just north, and the main line of 
 the Iowa Central makes good connections at Marshalltown on the 
 east. All the railway connections of Des Moines have thirty- 
 seven miles to Ames. The Chicago & Northwestern Railway has 
 frequent trains, Des Moines to Ames and return. A steam motor 
 railway connects Ames and the College with efficient service. 
 Ames is a most desirable town for wholesome college influences. 
 Its people are enterprising, thrifty and cordial. The town has an 
 excellent system of public schools, numerous churches, water 
 works, electric lights, and a good city government. It affords 
 wholesome surroundings for the students. It is an inviting com- 
 munity for families who wish to educate their children, enioy 
 the better elements of society and an environment of reasonable 
 expenses. The town and the College are on very cordial terms, 
 and its citizens take marked pains in the efforts of the students 
 and the highest interests of the College. It is a model location 
 for factories and business enterprises.

 the grounds are occupied by professor's families, and several 
 others by foremen and employes. 
 
 Morrill Hall is named in honor of Hon. Justin S. Morrill, the 
 originator of the "Land Grant" for Colleges of Agriculture and 
 Mechanic Arts. The building cost about $35,000, including water 
 supply, steam heat and electric light. It is of deep red brick, 
 with stone foundation, and stone, brick and terra cotta trimmings 
 interblended. 
 
 It stands on the high ground of the beautiful campus, north 
 of and near the main building. It is for Chapel, capacity, 650; 
 Library, containing 15,000 volumes; the Museum, Lecture Rooms 
 and Laboratories of the Departments of Zoology and Geology.

 of grain and general farm purposes. One of the best stock pavil- 
 ions in the country accommodating several hundred students at 
 a time, circular in form, well heated and lighted, is located near 
 this barn and gives first class advantages for stock judging and 
 animal husbandry. 
 
 Other Buildings: Creamery, stables, barns, sheep and swine 
 houses, seed houses, etc., sufficient for the requirements of the 
 farm, are conveniently grouped near the College Campus. 
 
 MARGARET HALL. 
 
 A commodious and inviting building has been opened for the 
 young women in the College. Ii: is well designed for its purpose, 
 built of brick, roofed with slate and is architecturally pleasing. It 
 ocupies one of the most sightly locations on the campus, giving 
 the most pleasing outlook to its occupants. It is provided with 
 steam heat, electric lights, ample parlors, bath rooms and the 
 most improved modern conveniences. It is neatly and tastefully 
 furnished throughout. The Department of Domestic Economy 
 also is located in the building and open to all young women of the 
 College. Rooms will be assigned to new students in the order of 
 their application. The young women are under the direction of 
 an efficient dean of women. 
 
 THE COLLEGE GROUNDS. 
 
 The College domain includes about 840 acres. Of this about 
 125 acres are set apart for college grounds. These occupy the 
 high land of the southwest part of the farm, and include the 
 campus, shrubbery, plantations, young forestry plantations, the 
 flower borders and gardens, with the beginnings of a botanical 
 garden, and the surroundings of the professors' dwellings. Gravel 
 drives, cement and gravel walks, lead to all parts of the grounds 
 and to the various buildings, and the true principles of landscape 
 gardening have been so faithfully oDserved in the gardening and 
 in the location of buildings and drives as to make of the entire 
 Campus a large and beautiful park. The view of the surrounding 
 country from the upper stories of the large buildings is one of 
 wide extent and great beauty.

 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 
 
 ADMISSION TO ACADEMIC YEAR. 
 
 YEAR BEGINS SEPTEMBER 1, 1903. 
 
 Candidates for admission to the first term of the Academic 
 Year will be required to present satisfactory evidence of profici- 
 ency in geography, arithmetic, United States history, human 
 physiology, algebra to simple equations, orthography, reading and 
 grammar. They will also be required to present further satis- 
 factory evidence of efficient preparation such as will enable them 
 successfully to enter the Freshman Year on completion of the 
 year of Academic work. When an examination in grammar is 
 required it will cover the following subjects: The eight parts of 
 speech, the classification of nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and 
 adverbs, the declension of nouns and pronouns, the comparison 
 of adjectives and adverbs, and the rules of spelling that apply in 
 grammatical inflection. For further information see sample 
 examination questions in Preparatory Grammar, page 33. Exam- 
 inations will be held on the first and second days of the school 
 year. 
 
 ADMISSION TO SECOND TERM OF ACADEMIC YEAR. 
 
 TERM BEGINS JANUARY 19, 1904. 
 
 Students seeking admission to the second term of the Aca- 
 demic Year will need to meet the requirements for admission to 
 the first term and in addition thereto, pass a satisfactory examina- 
 tion in the studies of that term. In lieu of examinations in 
 history and drawing, standings of approved high schools will be 
 accepted. No student assigned to the algebra of the first term 
 will be allowed to take plane geometry. Graduates of schools 
 included in either list of "Accredited Schools" will be accepted 
 on trial without examination. 
 
 The examination in algebra will include addition, subtraction, 
 multiplication, division, factoring, highest common factor, lowest 
 common multiple, fractions, simple equations containing one or 
 more unknown quantities, problems involving equations of the 
 

32 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 first degree, and the discussion of such equations. The work in 
 algebra should be of a grade equal to that of Wentworth's New 
 School or Well's Essentials of Algebra. 
 
 The examination in English will cover the entire field of 
 grammar, except prosody. In this examination much will depend 
 on the candidate's ability to analyze a passage of good modern 
 prose, and to punctuate his paper correctly. In analyzing he 
 should be prepared to treat phrases and clauses as units, and to 
 state the exact function of conjunctive words. He should show 
 a ready and accurate knowledge of the structure of the prose 
 sentence and the relations of its various parts to one another. 
 For further information, see the sample examination questions in 
 Advanced Grammar, page 33. 
 
 Many students will find i L . exceedingly desirable to begin 
 their work in college in this term. Those who have had consider- 
 able algebra in the preparatory school should review its funda- 
 mental principles and become acquainted with their application 
 in the wider and more difficult field of college work, and those 
 who have had experience in plane geometry can to advantage 
 supplement such study by a review of some standard text and a 
 thorough drill in the original geometric propositions. The classes 
 in these studies established at the beginning of the spring term 
 furnish an excellent opportunity for students to prepare them- 
 selves thoroughly for entering upon collegiate work at the open- 
 ing of tne next school year. 
 
 In like manner, students who have completed grammar and 
 have had a high school course in rhetoric have an opportunity in 
 this term to review the principles of style and correct whatever 
 errors they still make in expressing their thoughts. Without a 
 thorough grounding in the principles of style and a considerable 
 degree of accuracy in choosing words and constructing sentences, 
 also in planning and developing paragraphs, it is practically im- 
 possible for a student to do creditable work in Freshman English. 
 The majority of those who fail in English, fail because they are 
 not fully prepared to do the work they attempt. In many instances 
 the cause of failure is that the student has not been trained to 
 apply the principles he has recited; properly directed practice in 
 composition is far more important than the mere memorizing 
 of rules and definitions. To begin work in this term would 
 prepare many for a better standing throughout their course than 
 would otherwise be possible. 
 
DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES AND STUDENTS. 33 
 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO FRESHMAN YEAR. 
 
 YEAR BEGINS SEPTEMBER 1, 1903. 
 
 The requirements for admission to the Veterinary course are 
 fully specified in the write-up of the Veterinary Course. 
 
 The requirements for all courses other than Veterinary 
 Science include either graduation from a High School belonging 
 to the list of accredited schools prepared by the Committee on 
 College Entrance Requirements appointed by the State Teachers' 
 Association, or else approved standings in the studies of the 
 Academic Year and the studies necessary for entrance to the 
 Academic Year. All students, however, must stand examination 
 in English. 
 
 For all Engineering Courses, beginning with the fall term 
 1904, all students will be required to present one year's work in 
 either French or German. This may consist of either one full 
 High School year of five recitations per week or the course in 
 French or German given in the Academic Year. Students who 
 are not able to meet the entrance requirement in French or 
 German, and who are otherwise satisfactorily prepared to enter 
 the college, may be conditioned in this subject and make it up 
 after entering college. 
 
 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS IN MATHEMATICS. 
 
 The examination in plane geometry will be upon the text 
 used by the student. He should be prepared to demonstrate orig- 
 inal exercises. 
 
 The examination in algebra will cover the following subjects: 
 Fundamental operations, including examples involving the use of 
 literal, fractional and negative exponents; parentheses occurring 
 in terms and factors; factoring; highest common factor and 
 lowest common multiple; fractions; equations of the first degree 
 involving one or more unknown quantities and problems leading 
 
 to such equations r- discussion of the forms — » — » — etc.;inequal- 
 
 1 a o o . 1 
 
 ities; involution and evolution of algebraic monomials and poly- 
 nomials, including the extraction of the higher roots; radicals, 
 including the fundamental operations, rationalization, imaginary 
 quantities, binomial surds and the solution of equations contain- 
 ing radicals; pure and affected quadratics; solution of quadratics 
 by factoring; problems involving quadratics; equations solved 
 like quadratics; simultaneous quadratic equations, and theory of 
 quadratics. Students who have thoroughly mastered these sub- 
 
34 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 jects in Wentworth's New School Algebra, Well's Essentials of 
 Algebra or text books of an equal grade and who have carefully- 
 reviewed them preparatory to taking up advanced work, ought 
 readily to pass the required examination.

 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS IN ENGLISH. 
 
 The applicant should show thorough preparation in English, 
 including grammar and elementary rhetoric, and not over-looking 
 spelling, reading, and punctuation. A student who spells poorly 
 will be conditioned in English courses until he is able to spell 
 with comparative accuracy. The applicant should understand 
 the words in current use in good modern prose, and should be 
 able to read aloud with that ease and fluency that betoken a 
 correct understanding of what he reads. His knowledge of 
 grammar should enable him to classify words according to their 
 grammatical properties, to give their inflections and to identify 
 each form, to analyze in detail sentences of modern prose, and, 
 above all, to construct sentences correctly. He should have given 
 sufficient study to punctuation to enable him to use the marks 
 correctly in his own compositions. His knowledge of rhetoric 
 is best tested, not by his readiness to give definitions, but rather 
 by his ability to apply his knowledge of rhetorical principles in 
 his own speech and composition. His speech should be free from 
 gross errors and awkward constructions, and he should be able to 
 write with a fair degree, not only of correctness, but also of ease. 
 For such training, more depends upon the teacher than upon the 
 text-book, but the method pursued in a book like Scott and Den- 
 ney's "Composition-Rhetoric" is likely in general to produce the 
 best results.

 X. Punctuate: "I would not perplex a young mind with 
 punctuation as a system or with nice questions between semi- 
 colons and colons but every one should at an early age be taught

 and punctuation are also important. 
 
 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS IN HISTORY. 
 
 For admission to the work of the First Semester of the 
 Academic Year the student is expected to pass a satisfactory ex- 
 amination in United States history. Standings from the graded 
 schools will be accepted in lieu of the examination. To pursue 
 successfully the work of the First Semester in the Academic year 
 it is expected that the student will have had some drill in the 
 study of historical subjects. This will be determined by the 
 nature of the school work already done. 
 
 For admission to the work in history for the Second Semester 
 of the Academic Year, standings in general history from 
 accredited high-schools are accepted in lieu of an examination on 
 the work in history for the First Semester. Such credit is condi- 
 tional upon the maintenance of a satisfactory grade of scholarship 
 in the advanced work assigned. Should failure result, any por- 
 tion of the credit allowed may be cancelled or review without 
 credit be required. 
 
 Since the text-book in the Second Semester of the Academic 
 Year is largely supplemented by library and written work and 
 other important class exercises, this course must be taken at the 
 College except for those students who have had the equivalent of 
 history as arranged in a fully accredited high-school course. 
 
 Pupils from any of the Fully or Partially Accredited schools 
 not graduates may receive credit in the Academic Year, for the 
 work done at the high school, but such credit is conditioned" upon 
 
4() IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 the maintenance of a satisfactory grade of scholarship in the ad- 
 vanced work assigned. 
 
 Students from high-schools not accredited, wno desire credits 
 for the Academic Year will be expected to pass a satisfactory 
 examination in General History to the Reformation. 
 
 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS IN FREE-HAND DRAWING. 
 
 For admission to the First term of the Academic Year no 
 previous work in drawing is required. 
 
 The standings of students from High Schools giving courses 
 in free-hand drawing may be accepted in lieu of the work in free- 
 hand drawing for the first term of the Academic Year. 
 
 The work in free-hand drawing of the second term of the 
 Academic Year (for engineering students only) will be required 
 of all entering engineering students who cannot demonstrate pro- 
 ficiency in sketching parts of machines and a knowledge of the 
 principles of projection and of dimensioning, and facility in plain 
 free-hand lettering. 
 
 EXAMINATION AT HOME. 
 
 The heads of the English, History and Mathematical depart- 
 ments will cheerfully unite with principals of schools in arranging 
 for such examinations in grammar, rhetoric, history, algebra and 
 geometry, as will admit students to our Freshman Class. Candi- 
 dates can arrange also to have questions for examination sent to 
 County Superintendents or other school officers who are willing 
 to conduct the examination. The papers will be forwarded to 
 the heads of the English, History, and Mathematical departments, 
 who will mark the same and notify the applicant of the record 
 received. 
 
 The attention of applicants for admission is particularly 
 called to this arrangement, by which all their entrance examina- 
 tions can be taken at a convenient place near home. 
 
 ADMISSION ON DIPLOMA. 
 
 SCHOOLS FULLY ACCREDITED. 
 
 The following list of accredited schools has been prepared 
 by the Committee on College Entrance Requirements appointed 
 by the State Teachers' Association. The attention of secondary 
 schools is called to the fact that beginning with this year each 
 school to be accredited must have at least three teachers devot- 
 ing their time exclusively to High School work. A full and com- 
 plete list of the rules governing accrediting of High Schools 
 
DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES AND STUDENTS. 41 
 
 and the statement of how a High School may become accredited 
 may be found on pages 129 to 133 of the High School Manual 
 issued by the last State Teachers' Association. Copies of this 
 book may be had free of charge on application to State Superin- 
 tendent R. C. Barrett, Des Moines. 
 
 The graduates of fully accredited schools will be admitted 
 to the studies of the Freshman Year, except English, without 
 examination. 
 
 In English all new students must take an examination. This 
 examination will consist of two parts: First, a preliminary test 
 of the student's facility and accuracy of expression as indicated 
 by an essay on a familiar topic. Those who pass this test will 
 be assigned to English III on trial for one week, which consti- 
 tutes the second part of the examination. During this week each 
 student will write a series of exercises and essays designed to 
 test his general preparation in English, including Spelling, Punc- 
 tuation, Grammar and Elementary Rhetoric. In these tests 
 memorized rules and definitions, mere theoretical knowledge, will 
 count for little; readiness in applying rules and principles is the 
 essential thing. At the end of these tests only those students 
 who have shown sufficient preparation will be permitted to go on. 
 
 Students thus admitted will take review work in algebra dur- 
 ing the first ten days of the term. All subjects up to and includ- 
 ing quadratics will be treated and the ability of the student to 
 demonstrate principles and solve examples and problems will be 
 tested. Satisfactory examination will be accepted In lieu of this 
 review. 
 
 At the close of this review students will be assigned to such 
 work in English and mathematics as the professors in charge of 
 these branches shall consider them fitted to undertake. Credits 
 in these branches will be given only as students complete the 
 respective courses set forth in the detailed statement of the work 
 of these departments. A review of one week in plane geometry 
 will be given at the beginning of the second term and assignments 
 in geometry made in accordance therewith.

48 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Students who board in any of the College buildings furnish 
 their own bedding, and all furniture for their rooms, excepting 
 bedsteads, washstands, tables and wardrobes. 
 
 Students are earnestly advised to make their rooms comfort- 
 able and cheerful. Male students in the two lower classes, not 
 physically disabled, are required by law to take the military drill 
 and purchase uniforms therefor. "Physical disability" must be 
 certified to by the College Physician, on examination. 
 
 Text books and stationery may be purchased at the College 
 Book Store, at about twenty-five per cent below the average 
 retail price. 
 
 COLLEGE HOSPITAL. 
 
 The actual sanitary condition of the College is excellent. The 
 buildings 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, whose students are drawn 
 from a wide territory, various diseases are brought here by the 
 students themselves. In order to control epidemics and properly 
 care for other cases of illness or injury, a neat and commodious 
 hospital building is provided. This building is heated by fur- 
 naces, lighted by gas, and has perfect sanitary plumbing. This 
 hospital is under the charge of the College Physician assisted by 
 a professional nurse and a competent housekeeper. 
 
 The expenses of the hospital are defrayed from a fund accru- 
 ing from hospital fees paid by students. 
 
 The hospital fee insures to the payer thereof medical attend- 
 ance, nursing and medicine in illness or accident and consultation 
 and medicine for minor ailments, in accordance with the regula- 
 tions published below. 
 
 The privileges of the hospital are also extended to students 
 not rooming in the college buildings, provided, 1st, that no calls 
 shall be made by the Physician at their residence, and 2nd, that 
 the usual hospital fee is made within the first ten days of the 
 term. The hospital has proved to be a great blessing to the 
 students and the insurance is placed at actual cost. 
 
 The following regulations apply to the privileges of the hos- 
 pital : 
 
 1st. The hospital fee for the term is fixed at $2.50, and is 
 required of all students living in College buildings. 
 
DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES AND STUDENTS. 49 
 
 2nd. Students entering the hospital shall he charged $3 per 
 week for board, fires and lights. No other charges on these 
 accounts shall be made by the College during the time the student 
 is in the hospital. 
 
 3rd. For any time in excess of three consecutive weeks per 
 term spent in the hospital an additional charge above that men- 
 tioned, shall be made of $4.00 per week. 
 
 4th. In case a special nurse or physician is employed the 
 expense shall be borne by the particular patient. The selection 
 of such physician or nurse to be approved by the College Physi- 
 cian. 
 
 5th. Students not making the hospital deposit will be admit- 
 ted to all the privileges of the hospital allowed students making 
 the deposit upon the basis of a charge of $10.00 per week. 
 
 6th. The College Physician is authorized to exclude from the 
 college dormitories and recitation rooms any person afflicted 
 with a contagious disease. 
 
 7th. The privileges of the hospital shall not be extended to 
 cases of small-pox. 
 
 8th. The College assumes no responsibility whatever and 
 the hospital fee of $2.50 does not provide for medical attendance, 
 nurses, medicine or other expenses incurred in treating or caring 
 for students afflicted with small-pox. 
 
 9th. The President and College Physician shall require of 
 students entering College a certificate of a reputable physician 
 showing a successful vaccination. 
 
 10th. The charges named are based upon the probable actual 
 cost of medical attendance and hospital service and the fund 
 created will be carefully devoted to those purposes. The College 
 san not assume any liability beyond the extent of the fund so 
 created.

 SHOP LABORATORY AND FIELD PRACTICE. 
 
 The following regulations in regard to manual labor have 
 been adopted by the Board of Trustees: 
 
 1. The manual labor of students is divided into two kinds, 
 viz.: 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 workshop, the garden, upon the farm and elsewhere, in which 
 
50 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 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, upon the farm, garden and exper- 
 imental stations, in which the sole purpose is the acquisition of 
 knowledge and skill. 
 
 3. Students shall engage in instructive labor in the presence 
 and under the instruction of the professor in charge according 
 to the statement made in each of the courses of study. 
 
 The compensated labor furnished by the Divisions of Agricul- 
 ture, Veterinary Medicine and of Engineering, is given by each to 
 its own students, and is eagerly sought. The "details" of com- 
 pensated labor supplied by the needs of the various departments 
 are given to the most faithful and meritorious students in each 
 department. Uninstructive 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 chiefly needed for study. Still, many worthy and industrious 
 students pay a considerable part of their expenses by labor, over 
 $4,000 being paid out by the College thus each year to students 
 and post-graduate assistants. 
 
 GOVERNMENT. 
 
 The relations of our college buildings, and the nature of the 
 exercises, complicated as they are, by laboratory work, shop 
 practice and labor, make order, punctuality and systematic effort 
 indispensable. This institution, therefore, offers no inducement 
 to the idler or self-indulgent. All who are too independent to 
 submit to needful authority, or too reckless to accept wholesome 
 restraint, are not advised to come. The discipline of the College 
 is confined mainly to sending away promptly those who prove on 
 fair trial to be of the said class. 
 
 The use of tobacco by students on the college premises is 
 forbidden. Those who are already so addicted to its use that 
 they cannot cheerfully submit to this regulation are advised not 
 to come. Of course the use of intoxicating beverages and of 
 profane and obscene language is forbidden. 
 
 PUBLIC WORSHIP. 
 Officers and students gather daily in the chapel at 11:45 a. m., 
 for public worship. On Sunday morning at 10:45 a discourse is 
 given in the chapel by a clergyman invited for the occasion. The 
 
DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES AND STUDENTS. 51 
 
 object of these services is to emphasize and enforce the principles 
 of morality and of the Christian religion. Being a state institu- 
 tion we give the utmost freedom to all creeds and forms of belief, 
 avoiding the controversies of sectarianism. 
 
 The faculty requires on Sundays such conduct and decorum 
 in and about the college buildings as befit the observance of the 
 Sabbath. 
 
 RELIGIOUS ASSOCIATIONS. 
 
 The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations 
 of the College are voluntary organizations, composed of students 
 and members of the faculty. The membership is large. The 
 Sunday school, Bible classes and prayer meetings are under their 
 direction, and are well attended and profitable. This voluntary 
 Christian influence in the College is strong and healthfuL 
 
 LITERARY SOCIETIES. 
 
 Seven literary societies held their meetings each Friday 
 evening, a time kept free from other college functions. These 
 societies supplement the literary work of the College, and besides 
 provide a training in appearing before an audience such as every 
 college graduate needs, a training that is not secured in the 
 class room. Every student is advised to join one of these socie- 
 ties. The societies collectively constitute the Oratorical Associa- 
 tion, whose duty it is to provide for four general programs each 
 year; an oratorical contest in the fall term, a declamatory contest 
 in the spring term, and a joint program at the beginning of each 
 term. Six of the societies constitute the I. S. C. Debating League, 
 an organization which arranges for an inter-society debate each 
 term and an annual inter-collegiate debate with the Iowa State 
 Normal School. The inter-society debate calls out twenty-four 
 debaters each term, four from each society, two of whom main- 
 tain the affirmative and two the negative of a given question, 
 against opposing teams from other societies. 
 
 THE MOORE PRIZE FUND. 
 
 To Mr. S. L. Moore, of Boone, the College is indebted this 
 year for a prize fund of one hundred dollars, which has been 
 divided equally between the Oratorical Association and the 
 Debating League.

 COURSES OF STUDY 
 
 The instruction in agriculture is divided into the following 
 
 departments: 
 
 I. Department of Agronomy. 
 
 II. Department of Dairying. 
 
 III. Department of Animal Husbandry. 
 
 IV. Department of Horticulture. 
 
 V. Department of Agricultural Chemistry. 
 
 The courses in these several departments unite in making a 
 foundation for the student upon which he can build a successful 
 career as a farmer, or develop into a specialist in the many 
 possible lines that are branches of the farming industry. The 
 studies pursued in each department are equally recognized as 
 being necessary to fully equip the student for the highest order 
 of work in any division of agriculture, and the only difference 
 between the shorter and the longer courses is due to the degree 
 to which the student wishes to specialize and develop himself 
 for a single line of work. The farm as it is commonly conducted 
 is a union of many divisions of industry and the shorter course 
 confines itself to laying a foundation that will secure success in 
 ali of these, while the longer course seeks to direct the student 
 into that line which will call forth and centralize his special 
 ability and at the same time enable him to meet the variety of 
 conditions that under all circumstances surround a successful 
 life. 
 
 Past experience with the courses of these departments shows 
 that they have met with more than the usual success in attaining 
 their objects; as the shorter course has been productive of many 
 successful farmers, and the longer course has been unusually 
 successful in developing better farmers and more capable men in 
 practical life and also in securing for our graduates prominent 
 positions in the agricultural faculties of other colleges. 
 
 In practical agriculture, a field unsurpassed by any other 
 college in the United States is open to the students. The nation- 
 al government gives to the college about thirty-five thousand dol- 
 lars annually for original experimentation and instruction in 
 agriculture and the sciences related to the industries. This 
 enables the college authorities to make the fields and the barns 
 veritable laboratories of extensive and most practical investiga- 
 tion and observation. The range is from the soil that produces, 
 
DIVISION OF A.GRICULT1 R] 59 
 
 through all of its natural characteristics, to whatever is grown 
 in agriculture from germ to finish. A live stock room is set 
 apart in Agricultural Hall in connection with one of the best 
 recitation rooms, into which live animals are brought in the 
 presence of the teacher and the class for careful study and inti- 
 mate knowledge, and a commodious, well-lighted stock judging 
 pavilion has been constructed especially for this work. An ex- 
 perimental barn with the recent and most approved methods of 
 stalls, feeding and ventilation, is devoted exclusively to the 
 original work of animal husbandry. This work ranges over all 
 the questions of breeding and maturing domestic animals. 
 
 The agricultural school is designed to teach the sciences 
 that underlie practical agriculture, and sufficient English liter- 
 ature, mathematics, history, and other supplementary studies 
 to sustain both scientific and practical agriculture and to de- 
 velop the agricultural students to the intellectual level of the 
 educated in any profession. Special attention is given to the 
 improved methods in all of the various operations of farming, 
 farm building, using tools and machinery, and management of 
 all kinds of stock and crops. The instruction of this department 
 embraces principles and practice of agriculture. 
 
 The farm consists of 800 acres of rolling prairies, bottom, 
 and woodland, and is stocked with good representatives of six 
 breeds of horses, six breeds of cattle, seven breeds of sheep, and 
 six breeds of hogs. These animals are used in class illustration 
 and for the various experiments in breeding and feeding for 
 milk, meat, wool, growth and maintenance, conducted by the 
 Experiment Station as a department of the College. All the crops 
 of the farm are grown for some educational purpose; all the 
 animals are fed by rule and system, and the result of their 
 management reported upon, and used in class work. Labor is 
 not compulsory, but students in the agricultural course are given 
 work that is educational and parallel with their studies. Some 
 students pay for their board by work in the mornings and even- 
 ings. Under direction of the professor in charge, students as- 
 sist in conducting experiments in lines related to their studies.

 SHORT COURSE IN CORN JUDGING, 1904. 
 January 4 to 16. 
 
 During the winter vacation a two weeks' course in corn 
 judging will be given. This course is planned with special 
 reference to supplying the great demand for work along this line 
 by those who are unable to take advantage of the work in the 
 regular College course. A two story corn and stock judging 
 pavilion is now being erected for this work. Instruction will be 
 given in the methods of selecting, storing, purchasing, testing, 
 and preparation of seed corn for planting. Instruction will also be 
 given in the methods of cultivation, characteristics, and adapta- 
 bility of different varieties to various sections of the state. A 
 comparison of the efficiency of all the different makes of planters 
 and cultivators will be made. 
 
 Samples of all the leading varieties of corn from the corn 
 breeders of this and other states will be on exhibition and will be 
 used for corn judging purposes. This immense collection of corn 
 representing every county in the state will afford an unusual 
 opportunity to compare the different varieties and study their 
 characteristics. Premiums amounting to over $2,400.00 will be 
 offered for the best corn exhibited by members of the Corn 
 Growers' Association and for those doing the best work in corn 
 judging. Those wishing to become corn judges, qualified to judge 
 corn at county fairs and expositions will have an opportunity at 
 this corn school to prepare themselves for the work. An exam- 
 ination will be held at the close of the school and corn judging 
 certificates will be issued by the Corn Growers' Association to 
 those who prove themselves proficient. To partially cover the 
 expense of additional instructors and facilities for judging and 
 demonstration a '^Ition fee of $2.00 will be charged but one fee 
 will cover the instruction in both stock and grain judging. 
 
 The work during this course will be so arranged that the 
 students' time will be divided equally between corn and stock 
 judging.

76 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 DEPARTMENT OF DAIRYING. 
 
 GEO. L. M'KAY, PROFESSOR. 
 
 F. W. BOUSKA, INSTRUCTOR IN DAIRY BACTERIOLOGY. 
 
 C. LARSON AND DE LA SHELDON, INSTRUCTORS. 
 
 The magnitude and rapidly changing conditions of the dairy 
 industry render a higher degree of skill and intelligence in this 
 field imperative. No branch of education has proven more pop- 
 ular or productive of better results than the instruction furnished 
 in the economical production of a superior class of dairy products. 
 From the fertile farming lands of the Central West annually come 
 one hundred or more young men to be trained in special work in 
 our dairy school. That these young men become leaders wher- 
 ever they take up work is shown by the responsible positions they 
 are holding at high salaries in dairy communities everywhere, 
 and the many prizes won in state and national conventions. Even 
 the city milk supply business is calling for scientifically trained 
 men who thoroughly understand the essential regulations for 
 proper sanitation and cleanliness, pasteurization and sterilization. 
 
 In order to meet the demands of such instruction the Dairy 
 School provides two sixteen weeks courses; one for butter and one 
 for cheese making, beginning with the regular college terms, and 
 a one year course beginning with the college year. Also a two 
 weeks course in sarters and cream ripening, especially designed 
 for experienced makers, commencing January 4, 1904. 
 
 The College Creamery is in operation the year round. The 
 work is conducted on a practical and commercial scale as well as 
 for scientific investigation and instruction. The product made 
 invariably brings the highest quotations and has attained an 
 enviable reputation in the markets of the United States and 
 England. 
 
 The facilities for teaching dairying in a thoroughly practical 
 and scientific manner are unexcelled. The building is exception- 
 ally well equipped for practical work as well as scientific instruc- 
 tion and investigation. It is more than a "dairy building" as the 
 term is generally understood. It is a practical working creamery 
 and cheese factory, in operation every work day in the year. 
 During the summer season from five to ten thousand pounds of 
 milk are taken in daily and manufactured into butter and cheese; 
 during the winter somewhat less. The milk is purchased from 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE 77 
 
 farmers living in the vicinity of the College and they are paid for 
 it according to its merits, based not only on butter fat determined 
 by the Babcock test, but upon inspection of its cleanliness, free- 
 dom from all taints, objectionable odors and other general qual- 
 ities. A bacteriological laboratory, forms facilities for instruction 
 and investigation in this important feature of the subject. 
 
 The student becomes familiar with everything connected with 
 the management of a commercial creamery, and meets every 
 problem that is likely to confront him in his afterwork. All 
 leading types of separators are used in the dairy building and the 
 most approved machinery is used throughout by the students. 
 
 The work done in dairying by the students in the four years 
 course in agriculture is outlined in the course of study. They 
 not only become familiar with the work in the creamery, the 
 cheese factory and the private dairy, but study the underlying 
 principles of the whole subject in the broadest sense. The College 
 dairy herd, consisting of thirty or forty cows, regularly in milk, 
 affords opportunity for the study of dairy as well as creamery 
 problems. These cows are milked and cared for mainly by student 
 help under the direction of instructors. 
 
 During the latter part of the senior year those students who 
 have shown themselves capable, are permitted to spend a portion 
 of their time in the laboratory in original work, and meritorious 
 work of this kind is reported in the bulletins of the Experiment 
 Station. 
 
 The courses in dairying were established for the benefit of 
 those who were already engaged in the business, either on the 
 farm or in the creamery or factory, and for this reason a very 
 large portion of the time is devoted to practical work in the dairy 
 building. 
 
 Students in these courses are taught everything connected 
 with practical work, from weighing the milk brought in by the 
 different patrons and testing the same, to running the engine, 
 scrubbing the floors and shipping the butter. The aim is to teach 
 not only how to do all the work incident to a business of this 
 kind, but also why, — the reason, — the work should be done in the 
 manner taught. The studies, other than dairying proper, which 
 appear in the courses outlined are such as are necessary to a 
 correct understanding of the principles involved, and all students 
 entering these courses are required to attend them regularly. 
 
78 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 Students in all of the Dairy and Creamery work are required 
 to provide themselves with white suits, keep them clean and in 
 good order. 
 
 ONE YEAR COURSE IN DAIRYING. 
 
 The one year course in dairying is designed to meet the wants 
 of those who wish to acquire an intimate knowledge of practical 
 dairy methods and the underlying principles as well as to the 
 sciences related thereto. This course runs through one college 
 year beginning in January and ending in December. Students 
 completing this course will receive certificates, but the right is 
 reserved to withhold such certificates until satisfactory evidence 
 is furnished of ability to successfully manage commercial cream- 
 eries or other large dairy establishments for at least one year. 
 No other certificates will be given for any course in dairying 
 except to students entitled to a diploma for the four years' course 
 in Agriculture. (See note at bottom of page). Following is the 
 course of study pursued:

 THE SUMMER SCHOOL IN DAIRYING. 
 
 While we earnestly advise those who expect to work in dairy 
 lines, either on the farm or in the creamery or factory to take 
 the one year course in Dairying as outlined above we realize that 
 there are many who for various reasons are unable to do this. 
 Believing that a state institution should offer every possible en- 
 couragement to those who desire to fit themselves to do their 
 chosen work in the best manner, a Summer School in Dairying is 
 thrown open to students. This school begins in January and 
 continues sixteen weeks. The same studies are pursued in this 
 as in the One Year Course: 
 
 Dairy Practice, 6 half days per week. — (Dairy I.) 
 
 Buttermaking, 16 Lectures. — (Dairy II.) 
 
 Milk Testing, 16 Lectures,- ( Dairy 111.) 
 
 Dairy Machinery, 16 Lectures. — (Dairy IV.) 
 
 Book-keeping, 16 Lectures. — (Dairy V.) 
 
 Bacteriology of Milk, 20 Lectures. — (Dairy VI.) 
 
 Feeding and Judging Dairy Stock, 32 Lectures. — (Dairy VII.) 
 
 TWO WEEKS COURSE IN DAIRYING. 
 
 The prominent rank attained by students of the Iowa Dairy 
 School in state and national contests has led to a demand for 
 special instruction. The short course will begin January 4, 1904, 
 and continue for two weeks; the subjects that will receive special 
 attention during this time are: (Preparation of commercial 
 and natural starters, ripening of cream, judging and scoring of 
 cream and butter and how best to treat the hand separator 
 cream). This latter subject was a special feature of our last 
 year's course. Hand separator cream will be shipped in to the 
 College Creamery during this course and treated in different ways 
 with a view of making the best possible quality of butter from a 
 given quality of cream. (No one but experienced butermakers 
 are advised to take this course. The fees for this course will be 
 $12.00, which is intended to cover expenses involved in securing 
 extra instructors, and material for the course). 
 
 The scope of the work given in the Department of Dairying 
 is set forth in the following statements: 
 
 Course I. — Dairy Practice. — This includes from five to seven 
 hours of practical work in the creamery room during the first 
 term of the One Year Course. This includes buttermaking with

 tion of fat, ripening of cream and churning and packing of but- 
 ter. The latter part of the term will be given to lectures on the 
 bacteriology of milk with reference to the general applications 
 of the subject, such as contamination of milk, relation of bacterial 
 changes to butter and cheese; milk relation of bacterial changes 
 to butter and cheese, etc. As this course has been planned to 
 give the students a knowledge of dairying in general, only five 
 laboratory periods will be involved. The working of the Babcock 
 test for determination of fat, detecting adulteration in milk, test- 
 ing for acidity in cream, and buttermaking as is practiced in the 
 best modern dairies will be taken up and demonstrated in the 
 laboratory work. Mr. Larson, Mr. Bouska. becond year. First

 monly found in milk, and that the quality of dairy products de- 
 pends mostly upon the fermentations, which have taken place in 
 these preparations, is shown with detailed attention to the use 
 and value of starters in butter and cheesemaking. The laboratory 
 work consists of making quantitative and qualitative bacterial 
 analysis of dairy products. Isolating and innoculating different 
 species of bacteria into sterile milk and cream, and noticing the 
 results. Mr. Bouska. Fourth year. First Term. Three hours 
 study. 
 
 Course XVIII. — Scoring Butter and Cheese. — These lectures 
 are designed to give the students a correct idea of the standard 
 market requirements for dairy products. Butter and cheese are 
 examined and scored by the students and their judgments com- 
 pared with that of the instructor. Professor G. L. McKay. Fourth 
 year. First Term. One hour study. 
 
 Course XIX. — Research Work. — This course has been 
 planned for the advanced students in dairying. It consists in 
 looking up on recent work done in different dairy subjects by the 
 different Experiment Stations; also to read and study the differ- 
 ent books on dairying written by the different authors on assigned 
 
a 
 
86 IOWA STATE COIXEGE 
 
 topics. Prof. G. L. McKay. Fourth year. First Term. Two 
 hours study. 
 
 Course XX. — Factory Management. — This course, together 
 with the knowledge the student already has, is intended to qualify 
 a student to superintend or manage any large factory or dairy 
 establishment. The course consists of one lecture per week, and 
 work in the creamery equivalent to two laboratory periods per 
 week. The class work will include such subjects as the economy 
 in the construction of creameries, drainage and ventilation of fac- 
 tories, how to treat the skim milk and other by-products in order 
 to get the best economic results. It is advisable for the student 
 to put in the laboratory work during vacation or some other time 
 when the work can be done during consecutive days. Fourth 
 year. Second Term. Three hours study. 
 
 Course XXI. — Preparation of Ice Cream and Ices. — This 
 course consists of lectures and laboratory work both. They are 
 combined in such a way as to give the student the best under- 
 standing possible concerning the preparation of ice cream, sher- 
 bets and ices, as made on a private and commercial scale. Fourth 
 year. Second Term. One hour study. 
 
 Course XXII. — Thesis. — The work on thesis must be original 
 work on some dairy subject. The students should consult the 
 professor in charge concerning their subject before or after the 
 beginning of the senior year. The bacterial and chemical labora- 
 tory facilities in connection with the creamery plant offer special 
 inducements to the students for doing original work. Frequently 
 arrangements can be made with this department for co-operation 
 in working out important subjects and if the work is deemed 
 meritorious, will be published in bulletin form. The thesis work 
 must represent time equivalent to a two hours' study during the 
 second term of the senior year. Prof. G. L. McKay. 
 
 GRADUATE COURSES IN DAIRYING. 
 
 This department is especially equipped to offer graduate work 
 to advanced students in dairying. In connection with the cream- 
 ery, which is in operation the whole year around, there is in the 
 same building a well equipped laboratory in dairy chemistry as 
 well as in dairy bacteriology. This offers special inducements 
 for original work to students in dairying along the following 
 lines: 
 
 (a) — Dairy Bacteriology. — In this course the student can 
 either pursue work which is valuable chiefly from a scientific 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE S7 
 
 standpoint, or he can take up the work as it relates to some 
 practical subject in the creamery industry. Subjects, as the effect 
 of certain species of bacteria in milk, cream and washwater, upon 
 the quality of butter; the effect of overripe and unripe cream 
 and starters upon the bacterial flora of the same; and the kind 
 of bacteria that causes butter to go "off" in flavor; are of peculiar 
 interest for investigation to dairymen. Special facilities for this 
 kind of work are offered. 
 
 (b) — Dairy Research.— The research laboratory in the cream- 
 fry building has recently been equipped with a view of doing 
 special work along the line of dairy chemistry- Investigations 
 on subjects, as the determination of total overrun; the effects of 
 the various amounts of curds, moisture, fat and salt upon the 
 quality and keeping quality of butter; the conditions governing 
 the incorporation of these components of butter and the varia- 
 tion in the composition of milk, butter and butter fat, during 
 the different seasons of the year, are made special features of 
 this course. 
 
 (c) — Factory Management. — This study embodies the condi- 
 tions which are to be considered in order to obtain the greatest 
 possible degree of economy in the operation of a large dairy farm 
 or some large factory. How to obtain the best quality as well as 
 the greatest quantity of the special product manufactured; and 
 how to avoid the many leaks so incidental to creamery manage- 
 ment are problems that are taken up in this course in a thorough, 
 practical ana systematic way. 
 
 (d) — Cheese Making. — In this course we offer advanced work 
 in the manufacture of Cheddar cheese as well as in the manu- 
 facture of the different kinds of fancy cheese. The chemical as 
 well as the bacterial laboratory are open for research work to 
 students pursuing work in this course. The college creamery 
 building has rooms and special facilities for the different steps in 
 the manufacture and curing of cheese. 
 
 (e) — Milk Production. — Under this heading such subjects as 
 the greatest economic production of milk, with special reference 
 to the individuality of cows; the effects of certain feeds upon the 
 quality of butter and cheese; and the environmental conditions 
 affecting the quantity and quality, are included. This work is 
 facilitated by reason of having in connection a large herd of 
 cows. By the co-operation of the dairy and animal husbandry 
 departments, this work can be pursued in a most practical way.

 DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY 
 
 WILLARD J. KENNEDY, PROFESSOK. 
 
 \V. J. RUTHERFORD, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR 
 
 WAYNE DINSMORE, INSTRUCTOR 
 
 N. C. REW, GRADUATE ASSISTANT. 
 
 The department of Animal Husbandry stands for all lines of 
 work which pertain to the judging, selecting, breeding, feeding, 
 development, and care and management of the various breeds 
 and classes of domesticated animals. Recognizing the importance 
 of the live stock industry to the welfare of the state and, on 
 account of the unusual quest from students for instruction along 
 this line, nothing within our power has been left undone to make 
 the equipment for instruction purposes complete in every detail. 
 
 The herds and flocks were very carefully established at an 
 early date. From time to time valuable additions in keeping 
 with modern ideas have been made until, at the present time, 
 almost every recognized market class of animal and good repre- 
 sentatives of all the recognized breeds are available for student 
 use. An equipment of this kind places us in a position to do 
 work along animal husbandry lines which cannot be accom- 
 plished in those institutions where proper specimens of stock 
 are not obtainable. We are firmly convinced that there is but 
 one way to make a young man a proficient judge of live stock, and 
 that is by training his eye. In all of the lecture and laboratory 
 work outlined in our courses the work is demonstrated by che 
 use of living specimens. 
 
 The offices and lecture rooms of the department are located 
 on the first floor of Agricultural Hall. The museum, which con- 
 tains a complete assortment of the various kinds of wools, woolen 
 materials, animal by-products, etc., is located on the third floor 
 of the same building. 
 
 The judging pavilions are located near the barns. In this 
 respect we are most fortunate in having two excellent commod- 
 ious judging pavilions. This allows us to divide our classes, 
 which have in the past been unusually large, into many sections, 
 thus affording an excellent opportunity for individual work. 
 These buildings are well lighted and heated, and are arranged in 
 every way for convenience and comfort on the part of those who 
 take the work. 
 
 An excellent collection of horses representing all the market 
 classes and breeds of both light and heavy types is maintained for 
 
96 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 instruction work. Among these are good representatives of the 
 Shires, Percherons, Clydesdales, French coachers, Hackneys, 
 Standard breds, and the American Saddle horse. Some of the 
 horses are imported while the others have been selected with 
 much care from the best breeders on the continent. 
 
 Over two hundred head of cattle, representing all the leading 
 beef, dual purpose, and dairy breeds are maintained on the farm. 
 Complete breeding herds of most of the breeds are kept. A large 
 herd of Galloway cows are kept for cross breeding purposes used 
 in the production of blue greys. An excellent collection of steers, 
 representing the very highest type of a fat steer, and all the 
 other grades and classes to be found on our leading markets down 
 to the very lowest grades, are always available for class work. 
 This affords our students an excellent opportunity to study the 
 market demands and to know what constitutes each class, also 
 why there is such a wide margin in the prices paid for cattle by 
 the packing house man. 
 
 The equipment of the sheep department is especially strong, 
 constituting over two hundred head, containing good representa- 
 tives of the mutton and wool types and typical specimens of all 
 the leading breeds. Eight distinct breeds, which have been care- 
 fully selected to represent the type and characteristics of each 
 breed both in regard to their mutton form and wool bearing 
 qualities, are always available for class room work. In addition 
 to the breeding flocks we always have a choice collection of fat 
 wethers which afford an excellent opportunity for the student to 
 familiarize himself with the highest type of a finished mutton 
 sheep. 
 
 In the swine department, representatives of six breeds are 
 maintained, including the best American as well as the leading 
 British varieties. As in the other departments, the aim in this has 
 been to keep in touch with the modern ideas of the leading 
 breeders, both in regard to breeding and type of the animals in 
 these breeds. At all seasons of the year there is more or less 
 feeding of market stock being done on the farm and in connection 
 with the Experiment Station, so that excellent material is always 
 available for instruction purposes regarding the qualities that 
 add to the value of stock for the ordinary market. Having pure 
 bred representatives in addition, it is easy to inform the student 
 in a practical way on the finer points of color, type, and other 
 characteristics that relate to the pure bred classes of stock.

 To further assist in this work, the herd books of the different 
 American and foreign registry associations are being constantly 
 added to the library. Through these the student is not only 
 enabled to inform himself in regard to pedigrees, but he is also 
 enabled through them to study the different scales of points which 
 the breeders have adopted as representing the highest type of 
 the breeds. Other features of the equipment include photographs 
 and charts utilized in the lecture room where it is not possible to 
 make suitable representation with the living animals. It is the 
 aim of the department to illustrate all lines of instruction with 
 living representatives. The abundant material available from 
 the herds and flocks is freely drawn upon and used extensively 
 in all lectures and score card practice. By means of score cards, 
 prepared by the department, the students are brought in close 
 contact with the animals and through them are informed on the 
 points of market merit desirable in ordinary stock; while later 
 the use of the official scale of points for the different breeds in a 
 similar way, makes them skillful in judging representatives of 
 the different breeds. 
 
 As soon as the student is familiar with the use of the score 
 card, comparison juuging is introduced. In comparison judging 
 from four to six animals are used, and each student is required to 
 place all the animals in order of merit, and write down clearly 
 and concisely on a blank folder, prepared especially for this work, 
 full reasons for making his awards. This kind of work teaches 
 the student to compare animals and to balance the weak and 
 strong points of each in making his final awards. As soon as the 
 student demonstrates his ability to place classes well, herd groups 
 and sweepstake classes are introduced during his Senior year's 
 work. This kind of work is in accordance with the most difficult 
 judging done at our leading state fairs and international exposi- 
 tions. As soon as the student shows that he possesses the quali- 
 fications needed to successfully judge stock in the show ring, he is 
 sent out in answer to the many requests from the secretaries to 
 judge various classes of stock at county fairs. This, in connection 
 with his college work, results in crystallizing the lessons learned 
 in the class room. 
 
 The following courses of study are given in Animal Hus- 
 bandry:

 SPECIAL COURSES. 
 
 Students desiring shorter courses of study will be permitted 
 to take up special courses in any line of work offered providing 
 that they comply with the full requirements for admission to 
 short course work as outlined elsewhere in this catalog. They 
 must also have credits for all necessary work preparatory to 
 the taking of such courses as are demanded of the regular four 
 year men. 
 
 WINTER COURSE IN STOCK JUDGING. 
 
 In response to a widespread demand for special short course 
 instruction in the judging and feeding of animals a two weeks' 
 course has been established during the winter vacation. This 
 course will begin January 4, 1904, and continue for two weeks 
 and will be devoted exclusively to the judging and score card 
 practice with horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, and lectures on 
 feeding the same. 
 
 In this work special attention will be given to the selection 
 of animals best suited for feeding purposes. Good specimens 
 of the highest type of fat steer and ideal representatives of all 
 the various breeds will be used for class work. At the conclu- 
 sion of the cattle work a slaughter test and block demonstra- 
 tion of the various market types of steers will be conducted under 
 the supervision of John Gosling, Kansas City, Missouri. This 
 course is intended especially for the man on the farm who can- 
 not avail himself of the opportunity to take a complete course. 
 
 A special course in corn judging will be given at the same 
 time and the work will be so arranged that all those present 
 may take both lines of work. 
 
102 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 To partially cover the expense of securing additional help 
 and stock for demonstration a tuition fee of $2.00 will be charged 
 for admission to this course, but one fee will cover the instruction 
 in both grain and stock judging. 
 
 CLAY, ROBINSON & CO. FELLOWSHIP PRIZES. 
 
 Clay, Robinson & Co., Live Stock Commission Merchants, 
 Union Stock Yards, Chicago, offer, annually, $1,000.00 in prizes 
 to be awarded to the Agricultural Colleges making the best 
 exhibit of live stock at the International Live Stock Exposition 
 students in the department of Animal Husbandry. These fellow- 
 ships, amounting to $300.00 per student annually, are granted by 
 the Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the dean of 
 the Division of Agriculture and the head of the department. A 
 student holding a fellowship may pursue post-graduate work in 
 Animal Husbandry. 
 
 GRADUATE COURSES. 
 
 We are now in a position to offer post-graduate work along 
 five distinct lines. Students to be eligible to take this work must 
 comply with the College requirements for post-graduate work as 
 stated elsewhere in this catalog. 
 
 (a). Animal Nutrition. We have excellent facilities for 
 advanced research work along this line on account of the vast 
 amount of work done on the College farm, and on the Cook farm 
 at Odebolt, Iowa, along the lines of horse, cattle, sheep, and 
 swine feeding experiments. We have, annually, over one thous- 
 and animals in feeding experiments under our direct supervision. 
 Students desiring special research work along this line may 
 do the same under the direction of the head of the Department. 
 
 (b). Animal Breeding. A special line of research work has 
 been outlined for students desiring special work pertaining to 
 underlying principles of animal breeding. Special experiments 
 are being conducted on the farm along new and original lines. 
 
 (c). Study of Breeds. Our large collection of pure bred ani- 
 mals representing almost every recognized breed of live stock 
 on the continent affords us excellent opportunities for special 
 work along these lines. We not only have typical specimens, but, 
 in most instances, we have complete breeding herds, thus an 
 held at Chicago in December of each year. They stipulate that 
 the money won by the various colleges shall be used for the 
 
104 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 establishment of fellowship prizes to be awarded to graduate 
 excellent opportunity to study the adaptability of each breed 
 to Iowa conditions. 
 
 (d). Stock Judging. We have unusual facilities for thor- 
 ough work along this line. All of the various market types of 
 animals are available, also good representatives of all the pure 
 breeds. Animals are carefully examined on foot and afterwards 
 slaughtered and cut up on the block and the exact percentages 
 of the various cuts and the values of the same are ascertained. 
 
 (e). Practical Management of Stock. This course will in- 
 clude an exhaustive investigation and study of the methods in 
 vogue on the best managed stock farms and breeding estab- 
 lishments in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and other 
 countries, and is intended especially for those students who are 
 preparing themselves for managers of stock farms. 
 
 POSITIONS OPEN TO MEN TRAINED ALONG ANIMAL 
 HUSBANDRY LINES. 
 
 The demand for competent young men thoroughly trained 
 along the lines of practical and scientific animal husbandry work 
 by far exceeds the supply. We are constantly in receipt of in- 
 quiries for men combining college training with practical ex- 
 perience and natural ability. There appears to be no limit to 
 the demand at a compensation not exceeded in any other calling. 
 Our course is so arranged that our students have an excellent 
 chance to combine practical and scientific knowledge. A few 
 of the many lines of work open to graduates of this department 
 are: College and Experiment Station work, Agricultural jour- 
 nalism, Managers of stock farms, Salesmen with commission 
 merchants and Buyers for the packing houses at the many stock 
 yard centers, Salesmen of animal feed stuffs manufactured by 
 the packing houses, Glucose companies, Linseed and Cotton 
 seed oil companies, etc., etc. At the present time we have not 
 nearly enough good men to fill the positions open to graduates.

 DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY. 
 
 HOMER C. TRICE, PROFESSOR. 
 ARTHUR T. ERWIN, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR. EDWARD E. LITTLE, 
 
 ASSISTANT. 
 
 The Department of Horticulture has offices, classroom and 
 library on the second floor of Agricultural Hall, a laboratory- 
 building 35x50 feet, two stories high with a nine foot basement, 
 greenhouses, consisting of a curvilinear palm house, 24x33 feet; 
 an even span house 19x33 feet which is connected to the labora- 
 tory and used for laboratory purposes, and three propagating 
 houses, 10x33 feet. Additional greenhouses will be built this 
 summer for the department which will make approximately 4,000 
 square feet under glass. 
 
 The main floor of the laboratory is divided into two rooms 
 and will accommodate fifty students. One of the rooms is es- 
 pecially fitted for the study of fruits, and opening from it are 
 two refrigerators for the storing of specimens. The second floor 
 contains photographic and dark rooms for the department, and 
 the horticultural museum, equipped with a full collection of hor- 
 ticultural implements and machinery. The museum also con- 
 tains a large collection of fruit models and a horticultural herb- 
 arium that is accessible to advanced students. 
 
 The green houses give every opportunity for the student 
 to become familiar with the management of plants under glass, 
 and the collection of plants has been made with the view of hav- 
 ing them of the greatest educational value. 
 
 The department has a large library which is kept in the 
 offices in Agricultural Hall and in addition to the complete files 
 of horticultural publications of the country, possesses the private 
 library of Charles Downing, the author of "Fruits and Fruit 
 Trees of America," which contains many rare horticultural works 
 as well as his original notes and manuscript. 
 
 The land devoted to Horticultural purposes comprises about 
 forty acres. In this area are orchards of varying ages from 
 fifteen years down to those set within the last two years. The 
 varieties of fruits on trial number more than one thousand, 
 and include the hardiest types of native and foreign kinds. The 
 student is thus afforded unusual facilities for observation and 
 study. Adjacent to the orchards and small fruit plantations are 
 
110 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 the nursery grounds where the operations of the nurseryman 
 in the various methods of stratification, budding and grafting are 
 illustrated in a practical manner. A considerable area is devoted 
 each year to the growing of vegetables and variety tests of the 
 leading types are made in connection with the Experiment Sta- 
 tion work, thus affording ample opportunity for field study in 
 the methods of culture practiced by the amateur and market 
 gardener. 
 
 There is a rorest plantation of about ten acres in which are 
 growing a large number of the best varieties of deciduous trees 
 for the northwest. A collection of over one thousand prepared 
 sections of the American woods is used for illustrating the lec- 
 tures on forestry. The campus and shelter belts surrounding 
 the college give ample opportunity for a study of the compara- 
 tive value of native and foreign trees when used for windbreak 
 and landscape effect. 
 
 The graduate who completes the course in Horticulture will 
 find himself well equipped in the technique and applied principles 
 of commercial horticulture. Fruit growing has become a spe- 
 cialized industry and success rewards the laborer in propor- 
 tion as intelligent skill and perseverance are applied to the 
 work, with a thorough understanding of the principles. Grad- 
 uates who desire to pursue post-graduate work will find them- 
 selves well prepared to do so either at this or other institutions 
 of like character. 
 
 Text books are used in each course when it is possible 
 to do so advantageously. Lectures are given when it is necessary 
 to enlarge or supplement the text. Particular stress is laid on 
 laboratory instruction and the facilities and equipment, are ex- 
 ceptionally good for this phase of the work. The following 
 courses of study are offered: 
 
 OUTLINE OF COURSES IN HORTICULTURE.

 ples, plums, pears and grapes. Two recitations and one lab- 
 oratory period per week. First Term, Sophomore. Professor 
 Price and Mr. Little. 
 
 Course IVH. — Plant Breeding and Field Work. — The princi- 
 ples and history of plant breeding and its special application to 
 horticulture are studied. The commercial nursery stocks, theory 
 and practice in pruning, and a study of spraying machinery are 
 included in this course. Two recitations and one laboratory each 
 week. Second Term, Sophomore. Professor Price and Mr. Little. 
 
 Course VH. — Varieties of Fruit. — This is an advanced course 
 in Pomology and is devoted to a study of varieties, their origin, 
 history and synonyms. Special attention is given to important 
 commercial types and to describing and judging fruit. One reci- 
 tation and one laboratory. First Term, Junior. Professor Price 
 and Mr. Little. 
 
 Course VIH. — Forestry. — The course embraces a study or for- 
 estry influences upon climate, rainfall and erosion. A system- 
 atic study is made of the native and introduced forest trees of 
 economic importance. Three hours per week. Second Term,

 All required courses in horticulture except those given in second 
 term senior are prerequisites of this course. A subject for in- 
 vestigation may be chosen for Course IX. and the work con- 
 tinued in Course XIII. Two hours credit for the second term, 
 Senior year, will be given for this course. Professor Price. 
 
 GRADUATE WORK. 
 
 The department of horticulture offers graduate work along 
 four distinct lines: 
 
 Pomology. — The orchards of the department, which contain 
 over two hundred and fifty varieties of apples, one hundred and 
 fifty varieties of plums, and fifty varieties of cherries, furnish 
 abundant material for the specialist who desires to make a com- 
 parative study of varieties. In addition to this, the department 
 possesses the private library of Charles Downing and his un- 
 published manuscript notes and descriptions; also several hun- 
 
114 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 dred catalogued descriptions of fruit that have been made in 
 the last few years in the department. 
 
 Plant Breeding. — For many years systematic plant breed- 
 ing has been carried on by the department. The results of mis 
 work can be seen in all stages from the young plants just start- 
 ing to grow to those that have been fruiting or flowering for 
 many years. The department each year carries on extensive work 
 in plant breeding in connection with the State Horticultural 
 Society which offers exceptional opportunity for study and field 
 experience by the specialist. The department is equipped with 
 incubators, microscopes and other apparatus for laboratory in- 
 vestigations. 
 
 Greenhouse Work. — The greenhouses of the department give 
 exceptional opportunity for investigation along this line. The 
 department has five thousand square feet under glass, divided 
 into eight different houses which are devoted to the growing 
 of flowers, vegetables, and plant breeding experiments. Oppor- 
 tunity is offered for investigation in greenhouse management, 
 propagation of plants and a study of the insect and fungus en- 
 emies of greenhouse plants. 
 
 Forestry. — Iowa, being a treeless state, presents many new 
 and unsolved problems of tree growth, such as adaptation of 
 species to the varying soil and climatic conditions, influence of 
 wind breaks and shelter belts, and the comparative rate of 
 growth of the different species. Upon and adjoining the college 
 grounds are groves of evergreen and deciduous trees of varying 
 ages which provide facilities for investigation along this line. 
 The department has in its museum forestry specimens represent- 
 ing one thousand species. The department is also co-operating 
 with the United States Weather Bureau in the investigation of 
 the influence of windbreaks upon climate.

 AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY. 
 
 A. A. BENNETT, PROFESSOR. 
 ASSISTANT PROFESSOR. 
 
 The aim of the work in Agricultural Chemistry is twofold; 
 namely, to give the student a fundamental knowledge of chem- 
 istry, and then to apply this knowledge to the chemical problems 
 of agriculture. 
 
 A sufficient amount of time during the first year and a half of 
 study is applied to the acquiring of chemical principles and re- 
 lations, yet at the same time the application of these facts is 
 considered and constitutes a portion of the work. In other words 
 the study of the science of chemistry accompanies its application 
 to agricultural questions. The later work of the courses is prin- 
 cipally devoted to applied chemistry. 
 
 The courses of study open to the undergraduate student are 
 briefly described as follows: 
 
 Course XXI. — Elementary Experimental Chemistry. — This is 
 the introductory work for the students in the agricultural courses 
 and is intended to give knowledge of matter by actual handling 
 and experience with it. The recitations are upon the laboratory 
 work for the purpose of obtaining a first-hand knowledge of 
 chemical changes. The student learns how, and the necessity 
 for taking notes of useful data, how to interpret these facts and 
 apply them to common chemical changes that are going on in 
 nature. The course includes a study of the so-called non-metallic 
 elements that are present in the air and soils, etc. There are 
 three rcitations and two afternoons of laboratory practice per 
 Week. First Term, Sophomore Year. 
 
 Course XXIII. — This course is a continuation of Course XXI, 
 dealing with the metallic elements and their relation to those 
 studied in the preceeding term. In this course the student be- 
 comes acquainted with the basic elements in the soil and their 
 relations to non-metallic compounds, i. e., the acids and their 
 place in the formations of salts. He learns how to separate and 
 recognize these elements, their compounds, preparatory to deter- 
 mining them quantitatively. Three recitations and two after- 
 noons of laboratory work are required each week. Second Term, 
 Sophomore Year. 
 
 Course XXV. — Organic Chemistry. — This course follows reg- 
 ularly Courses XXI and XXIII and deals with substances pro- 
 
122 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 duced by animal and plant life. The laboratory study brings 
 the student in touch with the properties and methods of prepar- 
 ing organic food material. The sugars, starches and proteids, 
 the simpler food material will be studied and at the same time 
 the fundamentals of organic chemistry will be required. The 
 work is divided into two recitations and two laboratory periods 
 per week, during the First Term, Junior Year. 
 
 Course XXVI. — Chemistry Applied to Agriculture. — This 
 work will be introduced in the laboratory study by quantitative 
 analysis of inorganic substances followed by analyses of soils, 
 fertilizers and other inorganic substances related to agri- 
 cultural processes. The recitation work, two hours per week, will 
 follow the laboratory practice and be accompanied by text book 
 and lecture study. 
 
 Course XXVII. — Chemistry Applied to Agriculture. — This 
 course will consider in an elementary manner the organic phase 
 of Agricultural Chemistry and will deal with the chemical 
 changes in foods during digestion and assimilation, and the 
 changes that occur in the plant and animal body. Some time 
 will be devoted to dairy products and especially to the methods 
 of analyzing such substances for adulteration. Laboratory prac- 
 tice will occupy two afternoons per week. 
 
 Course XXVIII. — Dairy Chemistry. — Lectures and labora- 
 tory practice. This course is for students in the one year course 
 in dairying, and will be arranged to fit the needs and the prepa- 
 ration of such students, but it will be an elementary character 
 throughout. First Term. 
 
 Course XXIX. — Continuation of Course XXVIII. Second 
 Term. 
 
 GRADUATE WORK IN AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY. 
 
 Advanced work in agricultural chemistry leading to the mas- 
 ter's degree in scientific agriculture may be selected either as a 
 major or minor study. This work may be taken in the chemical 
 department as a continuation of the work begun as an under- 
 graduate of this college or any other college of equal rank. Or 
 the student may elect to do this work with the chemical section 
 of the experiment station thus coming in touch with the research 
 work and investigations being carried on there. The following 
 courses of graduate work are offered: 
 
 Course I. — Chemistry of Soils. — This course embraces a 
 study in soil chemistry and its relation to plant life, including the 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE 12)3 
 
 chemical composition, its relation to fertility, the determination 
 of available plant food, fertilizers and other substances which 
 are effective in the production of crops, also the study of rain 
 and drainage waters, the loss of plant food due to improper 
 drainage and other conditions. 
 
 Course II. — Chemistry of Dairying. — This work will cover a 
 general survey of the field of chemistry applied to dairy problems 
 such as the composition and chemical changes of butter, milk 
 and cheese, and also other oils and fats used as food products 
 and for adulteration. 
 
 Course III. — Chemistry of Feeds. — This course includes a 
 careful study of the chemistry of plants and field crops, such as 
 the chemical composition of corn, wheat and oats, methods of 
 modifying and improving the chemical composition by selection 
 and plant breeding, chemical study of growing plants during the 
 various stages of development, etc., the effects of various elements 
 in the soil on the composition and quality and the yield or pro- 
 ductiveness of the grain and forage crops. The study of the 
 chemical composition and nutriments of the various refuse and 
 by-products used for stock feeding. 
 
 Course IV. — Chemistry of Horticulture. — This course in- 
 cludes a careful study of the chemical composition of fruits in- 
 cluding the influence of various elements present in the soil on 
 the composition, quality and productiveness of the orchard, 
 vineyard or garden; also the influence of climatic conditions upon 
 the composition and quality of fruits, and the influence of selec- 
 tion and breeding. 
 
 AGRICULTURAL GEOLOGY. 
 
 Course IX. — Open to students in division of agriculture, 
 
 Second Term, Sophomore Year, and counts three hours. The 
 
 origin, mineralogy and physiography of soils with attendant 
 
 problems are treated as fully as the time will permit. Dr. Beyer. 
 
 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. 
 
 Prepared for students in Animal Husbandry (Veterinary Sci- 
 ence, 55), and comprises lectures from models and prepared speci- 
 mens, recitations and practical work in dissection. This course 
 is given during the first term, Senior year. Dr. McNeall. 
 
 THE AGRICULTURAL CLUB. 
 A Students' Agricultural Club holds weekly meetings in 
 Agricultural Hall for the consideration of current topics in agri- 
 
124 IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 culture. A students' reading room is also maintained there, 
 and all the leading agricultural journals are kept on file for the 
 use of agricultural students. The College Library contains an 
 extensive list of agricultural and scientific publications to which 
 students are referred for original research and study. 
 
 There are seven societies that hold their weekly meetings 
 on Saturday evenings and serve to supplement the literary work 
 of the college. All students are urged to join in the work of 
 the Agricultural Club and advised to join one of the literary so- 
 cieties and to avail themselves of these other adjunct means of 
 instruction. The faculty of clear and concise thinking and 
 speaking is of incalculable value to the agricultural student. 
 
 REMUNERATIVE AND INSTRUCTIVE LABOR. 
 
 The Agricultural courses afford opportunity to do consider- 
 able work in the fields and about the barns and grounds, much 
 of which is instructive and of practical educational value. The 
 compensation for services of this kind ranges from 8 to 15 cents 
 per hour, according to the merit of the work. Students are 
 thus able to earn from one-fourth to one-half their expenses 
 and at the same time materially strengthen the practical side 
 of their education. A number of the strongest and most capable 
 students have been aided in finding employment during vaca- 
 tions with successful stockmen on good farms and in various oth- 
 er positions in line with their chosen lines of work. Some young 
 men have preferred to take a year of practical work in this way 
 during their course, and it has invariably proved of marked bene- 
 fit and enabled them to command more desirable and remunera- 
 tive positions at the completion of their college work. Too much 
 emphasis cannot be placed on a thorough understanding of the 
 practical application of correct principles in agriculture. 
 
 SPECIAL COURSES. 
 
 Students desiring shorter courses of study will be permitted 
 to take up special courses in accordance with the general regula- 
 tions governing such work and subject to the approval of the 
 Dean of the Division of Agriculture and the President of the 
 College. 
 
 Such courses may cover a period of one term, one year or 
 two years, but special students are advised to take not less than 
 one year's work in any chosen branch and in all cases where 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE 125 
 
 practicable or possible to do so, students are urged to complete the 
 four years' course. The results will fully justify the time and 
 expense required and modern agriculture demands thorough 
 training, special fitness, and a high order of ability. No degrees 
 are granted for less than four years' work. 
 
 GRADUATE COURSES. 
 
 Special facilities are offered for Graduate work in the fol- 
 lowing lines as described under the head of graduate work in the 
 several departments:

12f) IOWA STATE COLLEGE 
 
 degree is granted only to students who have completed a four 
 year course in this or some similar college and completed a two 
 year graduate course in scientific and practical agriculture, one 
 year of which must be resident work at this college. The work 
 required for a post graduate degree is largely in the nature of 
 personal research and investigation under the direction of pro- 
 fessors in charge of the studies chosen. The work selected must 
 embrace a major and a minor subject in different departments. 
 
 CREDITS FOR PRACTICAL WORK. 
 
 Agricultural students who, by previous agreement with the 
 head of the department, do practical work on farms, horticultural 
 or feeding or breeding establishments, beet sugar factories or 
 forestry reservations, of recognized standing, during their course 
 of study will be allowed credits on the following basis: Students 
 who take practical work of the kind described under the direc- 
 tion of the proprietor and render competent and faithful service, 
 will, on their return to College and the presentation of a concise 
 written report or resume of their observations and experience, 
 be entitled to the following credits in the four year courses in 
 Agriculture: 
 
 For three months, five hours or elective work in the Junior 
 or Senior year; for six months, eight hours; and for one year, 
 ten hours; no more than five hours of which shall be credited in 
 any one term of the college course. 
 
 POSITIONS. 
 
 The demand for competent young men thoroughly trained 
 in practical and scientific agriculture and dairying exceeds the 
 supply. We are in constant receipt of inquiries for men combin- 
 ing college training with practical experience and natural ability. 
 There appears to be no limit to the demand for the right kind of 
 men and the compensation for such service is not exceeded in 
 any other calling. In view of this demand for well trained men 
 in the field of agriculture, students are urged to take a full four 
 years' course, supplemented with extensive practical work and 
 observation. To this end, a number of our best students have 
 taken a term or a year out during their course on some of the 
 best farms of this and other states; and many have secured em- 
 ployment during vacations in large dairy and horticultural es- 
 tablishments where the most valuable practical experience can 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE 127 
 
 be acquired. The importance of this feature of preparation can- 
 not be overestimated and it is urged and recommended even 
 where young men are entirely familiar with ordinary agricultural 
 work. It enables the student to derive more benefit from his 
 course in college and fits him for a better and more lucrative 
 position after graduation. 
 
 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SCHOLARSHIP. 
 
 The State Department of Agriculture offers a scholarship 
 prize of $200.00, open to young men of the state not enrolled as a 
 regular or special student in any agricultural college, without bar- 
 ring students of the special short courses in January. This 
 scholarship is to be awarded for the best work in judging live 
 stock and corn annually at the state fair in accordance with the 
 rules and conditions prescribed by the state department of agri- 
 culture governing this contest. This prize lias been supplemented 
 by some additional special prizes, making the scholarship worth 
 about $250.00.

 EXPERIMENT STATION. 
 
 The investigations of the Experiment Station have an inti- 
 mate relation to the college work of instruction, as the problems 
 occupying the attention of the Station are those that have a 
 material bearing on the profit of the farm, and they are also those 
 that are timely, and in need of accurate investigation. Whether 
 relating to the field or the feed lot, the aim is to investigate those 
 questions which will have a practical relation to successful agri- 
 culture. Originality is made a feature of the work so far as it is 
 consistent with useful results, and in all instances the sole object 
 is to throw light on the truth relating to the various principles 
 and practices of the farm. The field work strongly supports the 
 instruction of the College in regard to the varieties of grains and 
 the method of cultivation, thus enabling the student to become 
 acquainted with the latest ideas relating to these. Thorough 
 tests are made of the different varieties of fodders, grasses and 
 grains. In addition to this, complete trials, embodying various 
 crops and systems of culture, are carried on extensively each year, 
 with the hope of giving direction to the farm management that is 
 best for Iowa. 
 
 The investigations with animals embrace a study of the value 
 of different feeds for different features of animal production. The 
 system of feeding, the preparation of different feeds are also 
 made the subjects of investigation as far as it is thought they 
 may be made a part of the methods of the Iowa farmer. Included 
 with these, there have been a large number of trials with the 
 different types of animals suitable for the requirements of the 
 market. The object sought in this department of the Station 
 work has been to indicate the manner in which the Iowa farmer 
 through the employment of animals can realize the most from his 
 
DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE 133 
 
 farm products and add to the fertility of the farm. The Experi- 
 ment Station has reached out in this way to a remarkable degree, 
 bringing sheep from Mexico, Colorado and Scotland, cattle from 
 Texas and Great Britain, horses from Wyoming, Montana and 
 Europe, in its endeavor to thoroughly study this very important 
 feature of the farmer's work. The data from these experiments 
 is always accessible to the student and he has the opportunity of 
 daily observing the development of it at every stage. 
 
 The dairy industry is already indebted to the Experiment 
 Station for doing much towards establishing it on a surer found- 
 ation of accurate knowledge. The Station has always kept in 
 closest touch with those engaged in the various lines of the dairy 
 industry. Some of the problems which practical men are con- 
 stantly meeting and asking aid in solving, are at all times objects 
 of experiment by the Dairy Section. The students have the ad- 
 vantage of seeing these experiments carried out, and in some 
 cases assist in the work themselves. In this way they learn not 
 only what are the chief problems to be solved but become in- 
 formed on the methods employed in different lines of investiga- 
 tion. The experimental work that has been so far conducted, re- 
 lates mainly to the various problems of buttermaking while lately 
 features of cheesemaking have been made subjects of special 
 study. The records of these are abundantly used in class work, 
 together with the results from the later investigations in the 
 newer field of bacteriology. 
 
 The Horticultural Department in its connection with the 
 Experiment Station affords the student admirable opportunities 
 for checking the theory of the class room against the practice of 
 the field. The connection of the Department of Horticulture 
 with the State Horticultural Society is such that problems touch- 
 ing the commercial side of fruit growing receive the closest at- 
 tention. The field equipment of the Department is excellent, so 
 that experiments in spraying for the prevention of fungous pests 
 and injurious insects may be carried on under the eye of the stu- 
 dent; this is true also of other phases of orchard routine, such as 
 fertilizing, pruning and thinning. The experimental nursery 
 work carried on is of decided educational value. In plant breed- 
 ing, extensive experiments have been inaugurated and are still 
 in progress. The Station work thus equips the student with the 
 practice and technique necessary to a thorough horticultural 
 training.
