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

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-
