In the Science Department we find the greatest variation in the course of study. Owing tothe elective system prevailing here a student may follow any one of six courses. These courses,which include Technical Chemistry, Sanitary Science, Industrial Art, Pre-Medical, General Scienceand Biology, overlap the engineering courses in many studies, as in mathematics, languages,physics, etc. While the equipment is naturally not so interesting and striking as that of theengineering departments, it is of the best kind and quality throughout.

On the one hundred and sixty acres of land composing the farm and in the model farmbuildings are carried on experiments of vast importance to the agricultural and stock raisinginterests of the state. Realizing the importance to the country of trained men in this line of work-instruction is given in every branch of agriculture and men are turned out who can utilize theforces of nature to their fullest extent.
