“ ' g the School of Agri-
e as it existed in 1919, Will j
points out the changes and
of recent years, both
in improved organization and fa*
ciliUes.
At that time, there was a lack
of integrated effort'and interest,
due to a great deal of duplication
and a low salary scale that hin
dered the employment of many ol
the most capable men.
In 1922, all of the School of
Agriculture was located in the.
Science Building. The Judging Pa
vilion had^ust been completed, and
the Horse Bam was at the site of
UM. present Administration Build
ing. The Sheep Bam was located
in the area now occupied by Dun

Williams, however, doesn’t be
lieve in reminisemg a great deal
about other day^. “To me,” he
says, “there are no good old days;
we must recognize that we must
change, to-meet the new problems
of today and j of.the future.” ' j
As testintony of the constantly*
increasing growth and adjustments
that are under way, he points to
the recently approved plan foir re
distribution and development of
cbilege-owned land across the rail
road tracks. Under the-newt set
up, construction is to begin imme
diately on a new beef cattle bam,
located directly across the tracks
from the Gymnasium.
Additional work is to, be done
on the dairy installations at the
. Feeding! and Breeding Station,
with ex^anfcion in teaching and
researdi.
Rfc-aiiotment of the land
provide the Animal Husbandry De
partment with 12.80 acres^with ac
cess to 1130 acres allocated to the
Department of Range/and Forestry
for grazing and p&M work. The
Dairy Husband^ Department vrill
receive 801 acres under this plan.
The College has big plans for
the BJuehernnet plant, where more
than io/00 acres are to be deVot-
ed to We work of the AH Depart-
here that breeding and
are to be done on a
with the hope of de
veloping types of livestosk that
are more ideally suited to the
Sduthwest. In this capacity, Blue
bonnet will work in close co-ordi-
natipn with other stations at Spur,
Balmorhea, Sonora, Beeville and
Angleton.
Williams expresses great I en
thusiasm for a rodeo arena that
is to be built here, since the Col
lege recognizes the value a
suitable place for the breeding,
training and performance of
horses and other kinds of live
stock that are vital to the South
west. y-
Today, Jn the School of Agricul
ture, it is necessary and desirable
for the faculty to divide time be
tween ! research | and teaching on a
resident/ basis, and this aids the
student in. familiarizing ijfimself
with field ,and extension work.
