To fit himself for better income for his effort. : 3. To increase his enjoyment in life and make him a better citizen. B. Courses 1. The The 3. Offered at A. and M. College. School of Agriculture: Four-year courses are offered in Agriculture, Agricultural Ad- ministration, Agricultural Engineering, Landscape Art—and a two-year course in Agriculture. The regular four-year course in Agriculture trains young men for the business of farming, for the pursuit of scientific in- vestigations along some line of agriculture, for becoming County Demonstration agents, or extension workers, and for teaching in the high schools and colleges. It also offers excellent preparation for young men who intend to follow business pursuits, especially for merchants and bankers. Systematic training is given in the sciences of biology, chemistry, entomology, and geology, which are fundamental to the study of scientific agriculture, and in tech- nical subjects covering the main divisions of agriculture, includ- ing Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Farm Management, Horticulture, and Poultry Husbandry. The work in the Junior and Senior years is arranged so as to permit the student to specialize in Agricultural Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry and Horticulture. The four-year course in Agricultural Administration trains young men to become Agricultural Economists, to enter general business, such as banker or merchant, to administer landed es- tates, to enter the Civil Service in the field of marketing or, sta- tistics, to become managers of a business either private or coop- erative, to serve as agricultural advisers in chambers of com- merce and corporations, to serve as instructors and reasearch stu- dents in economics and commercial subjects. The four-year course in Agricultural Engineering is designed to give the student an engineering training with an agricultural viewpoint. Graduates of this course are prepared for service in the following lines: With the colleges and government in teaching, extension and experiment station work; with manufac- turers of farm machinery, gas engines, tractors, other farm equip- ment and farm buildings, in advertising, sales and designing work; with engineering and contracting firms doing irrigation work and drainage work; and with farm and trade journals. The four-year course in Landscape Art prepares a student to become a designer, a superintendent of large parks and cem- eteries, members of city park boards or park commissions, land- scape architect for the United States Department of Agriculture, or a Commercial landscape architect. The two-year course in Agriculture is intended for young men who wish to spend one or two years in preparing to go back to the farm and apply the more important scientific methods of farming which have been worked out in recent years. To this end the course is made highly practical and includes much of the tech- nical work required in the four-year course. In the first year, the studies are nearly all prescribed; in the second year, they are elective. School of Arts and Sciences: Two courses of study are offered in the School of Arts and Sciences: The course in Liberal Arts, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and the course in Science, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. J The course in Liberal Arts provides a general college education for those who have not made definite decision as to their life work; and for those who desire adequate preparation for advanced or professional study. It also provides opportunity, through the De- partment of Economics, for the study of business administration, and allied subjects. This course trains teachers of the general studies, such as English, history, mathematics, economics, mod- ern languages, and physical education. In addition to the above, it offers the necessary preliminary preparation for those who ex- pect to enter upon the study of law. The course in Science offers thorough preparation in the va- rious branches of biology, chemistry, geology, entomology, and physics, especially as these fields are related to the agricultural and industrial life of Texas. This course further provides ade- quate preparation for students who expect to enter upon the study of medicine. The pre-medical work of the college is rec- ognized by all medical schools of the United States. This course also trains teachers of natural sciences for high schools and colleges. The School of Arts and Sciences is the nucleus of the work of the entire institution. In addition to offering the courses mentioned above, it provides the necessary fundamental instruc- tion in English, mathematics, history, economics, and the natural sciences, upon which is based the technical work of the other di- visions of the College. The School of Engineering: Four-year courses are offered in Architecture, Chemical Engi- neering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechan- ical Engineering, and both a four-year and a two-year course In Textile Engineering. The course in Architecture is planned to train a young man in the arts and sciences which are the foundation for the design and construction of buildings. This course has two sub-divisions, one of which is arranged to give a broad general training in de- sign and construction with special emphasis upon design, while the other gives a minimum of pure design and a maximum of theory and practice in the structural side of building. The courses prepare for a range of occupations varying from the practice of the profession of Architecture and the various associated profes- sions to the business of the building contractor. The Course in Chemical Engineering prepares the student for technical work in those industries in which raw materials undergo a chemical change in the process of manufacture. Some of the industries which use trained chemical engineers are those deal- ing with cotton seed products, sugar, leather, petroleum, cement, ceramics, and iron and steel. The training of the chemical engi- neer has a broad enough engineering foundation to enable the student to advance to a full understanding and mastery of the industry. Civil Engineering students have a choice of three divisions. Either of the divisions will prepare the students for such work as surveying; the engineering of water supplies, sewage systems; railway location, construction, and maintenance; the design of dams, reservoirs, canals, roads, foundations, bridges, buildings and other structures. The first sub-division of the course is for those who are most interested in surveying or in the design and erection - of structures of various types; the second group provides more intensive instruction in the design, construction and maintenance of highways and highway bridges; the third group 1s for those who wish to specialize in municipal engineering work, in the de- sign and operation of the more complex water supply systems, or in the new field of sanitary engineering. The Electrical Engineering student is given the opportunity of preparing himself for the various branches of electrical en- gineering such as are found in the great electric power Jysiemst in the electric railway industry, and in the rapidly growing fiel of electrifications of steam railroads, and in the communication field where large numbers of trained electrical engineers are re- quired to maintain electrical channels of communication through- out the country. Electricity is becoming well nigh universal in its use and this creates a demand for an increasing number of trained electrical engineers. The Mechanical Engineering student is trained to design, construct and erect machinery, power plants, factories and other equipment and to operate them with the greatest economy. So dents may specialize in the fields of power production, industria engineering or transportation engineering, each of which presents a wide opportunity for men with proper qualifications. The field for the graduate from this course includes railway motive Dower, automotive and marine transportation, refrigeration, steam pnd oil engine power equipment, heating and ventilation, iron and stee production and fabrication, the machine tool industry, petroleum : (Continued on Page 4) (ZX EEE EER EE EE SEER : SPORT FODDER : fhbbbbb bbe bb bbb etrd Tim Griesenbeck, ’17, is with the Corsicana Oilers in the Texas Asso- ciation but has been laid up for a week or so with injuries. * kk George Koerth, 26, is hurling good ball for Palestine in the East Texas League. Cox, former Texas U. star is another star hurler on this team and recently was sold for a nice fancy price. $k 3k Dorsett V. “Tubby” Graves, former Aggie coach, won the Pacific Coast baseball title this year with his Washington University nine. The ge- nial “Tubby” has been a big success out there on the coast and is as pop- ular as he was at Aggieland. * kk “Sandi” Esquival, Texas University basketball and track star, has entered professional boxing circles and in his first bout in Dallas knocked out his opponent, who by the way was no set- up. The olive skinned lad is fight- ing to earn money to go to medical school. * kk Maynard Puckett, 25, is playing in the outfield for the Quincy team in Illinois. He is still rapping the ball over the three hundred mark. kkk Kyle Field, the home of the Texas Aggies, is continually being improved. The gridiron has a wonderful turf this summer, after a treatment of sand and plenty of watering. The track is being worked over and new handball courts are being built in the unfin- ished part of the gym. Nobody knows exactly how Sully does it but the re- sults are there. * ck ck Bobby Stell, ’12, recently made a “hole in one” in Corsicana and enters the Hall of Fame in that line of sport. * kk Johnnie Bender, Aggie Fish Coach, is umpiring in the Western League. He wrote from Denver that he’d dodged all the pop bottles so far. * kk Jim Kendricks, ’15, is managing the Harlingen team in the Valley League during the summer. Jim will have charge of one of the big pro- fessional football teams in the East this winter and is looking about for some local lads to go up with him. He says pro football is here to stay and that there is a good feature in it. * kk Its high time to think of that high school athlete you may be able to turn towards Aggieland. And re- member that some of the greatest stars were unheralded youngsters from the forks of the creeks. * kk “Sandi” Esquivel, Texas U. athlete, who entered pro boxing circles, fared poorly in his second bout. He was K.O.ed in the first round in San An- tonio. BILL MAXWELL MAKES US HAPPY WITH HIS BOUQUET It is always helpful to the officers of the Association to have letters of appreciation for The Aggie. Dr. Wil- liam W. Maxwell is one A. and M. man who always makes us mighty happy with his good letters. Bill has re- cently been appointed Resident Phy- sician for the Maternity Hospital, 2105 Adelbert Road, Cleveland, Ohio. His first month’s check will be the first salary he has drawn in five years. Few people ever think of the tremendous investment a physician must put into his professional learn- ing and equipment before he begins to earn. Probably the total will run about fifteen thousand dollars. Mrs. Maxwell is attending Western Reserve University this summer and will teach in the Junior High School at Cleveland next year. Bill says he saw Trim Rigney play a magnificent game for Boston against Cleveland. The Boston uniforms are identical with A. and M. uniforms so when Bill saw Trim in what he took for an A. and M. uniform he forsook the Cleveland team and rooted for Boston. Bill also says that “Whitie” C. D. Bozeman is in Cleveland at 3304 East 104th Street. S. M. “Stump” Williams, ’17, is helping to cure halitosis by assisting in the distribution of Orbit’s Lister- ated gum. “Stump” makes his head- quarters at 519 South Ackard street, Dallas. He is associated with Wm. E. Easterwood, Jr. * kk Word comes from Sam B. Grissom, '25, who is at 1611 N. Joplin street, Pittsburg, Kansas, that he has lo- cated Hollis, “Maggie” Oliver in that same fair city. Grissom says that V. L. Ginn, 25, is at Springfield, Missouri, working for the Frisco Railway Company as a special ap- prentice.
