Ag Continued from page 1 tillage, horticulture, arboricul ture and the care of stock in the senior year. “It was a lot of hard labor,” Kunkel said. “Enrollment crashed because people didn't want to work.” He said students in agricul ture wanted their college educa tion to relieve them from hard labor, not prepare them for a life of it. In 1884,change came as George Washington Curtis was appointed pro fessor of agricul ture. He reorgan ized the curriculum to emphasize pro fessional develop ment of the agri cultural specialist, Kunkel said. “Throughout the years, the curriculum has changed, but the structure and heart of the College was estab lished by Curtis,” Kunkel said. In the years that followed, the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station was organ ized, distant substations were sited, short courses were estab lished and a Farmers Institute was organized. By the turn of the centu ry, Kunkel said agricultur al research emphasized the best varieties of cotton, corn, vegetables, fruit. SdUftA concepts. forages and grasses. The School of Agriculture was officially established in 1911, and E.J. Kyle was named dean. During Kyle’s 33 year tenure as dean, the diversity continued to grow with new Departments of Agricultural Engineering, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Genetics, Rural Sociology, Agricultural Economics, Fish and Game, and Accounting and Statistics, Kunkel said. After World War II, the School of Agriculture saw remarkable changes. In 1946, the Board of Directors required uni- — fication and of the School of Agricultural Station and Qualitative approaches are beginning to emerge into undergraduate and environmental >9 — H.O. Kunkel dean emeritus coordination Agriculture, Experiment Agricultural Extension Service. New academic depart ments were created such as range and forestry, plant physiology, and nutrition. Graduate research assistant- ships were awarded, and for two decades, departments in the School of Agriculture accounted for more than half of the doctoral degrees awarded by Texas A&M. “In some of these ways, the School of Agriculture began to HAIR DESIGN Time is growing short Formal Up Do styles Book now for your convenience 118 Walton Dr. Diagnostic Medicine and Treatment Center Nalini M.

In 1963. when the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas was renamed Texas A&M University, the School of Agriculture became the College of Agriculture and was later designated the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1989. During the 1970s and 1980s, research began to flourish and academics in agriculture emphasized the sciences, Kunkel said. This trend continues today. “Quantitative approaches are beginning to emerge into undergraduate and environmen tal concepts,” Kunkel said. “Major trends in science and management are taking over.” Along with the overwhelm ing changes in the college dur ing the past 90 years, Kunkel said the personalities and expe riences of current faculty and students are different from those 50 years ago. “The faculty is changing because most of the people being trained now are being trained in the sciences,” he said. “Most of the faculty now don't have close ties to the old fann ing techniques.” Kunkel said students also are emphasizing the sciences more. “Students have changed enormously,” Kunkel said. “They are clearly more sophis ticated, mature and stronger in the sciences. They’re more widely experienced in life.” Continued from Bryctn-College Station Sunday’s editions. “Hu* ing to see what the Univeiv going to do in deciding proceed with the lawsuit' Zey is countersuing pJ a defamation claim.
