GENERAL  INFORMATION 


History — The  scientific  study  of  agriculture  was  advocated 
by  farseeing  Maryland  citizens  as  early  as  the  second  quarter 
of  the  nineteenth  century.  They  were  sensible  of  two  facts — 
namely,  that  agriculture  is  one  of  the  largest  contributing  fac- 
tors to  a  nation's  prosperity,  and  that  all  agricultural  pursuits, 
in  order  to  be  potent,  must  be  genuinely  scientific.  In  1847 
the  subject  was  first  brought  formally  to  the  attention  of  the 
Legislature  of  the  State.  In  1856  a  bill  was  passed  which 
granted  a  charter  for  the  establishment,  endowment  and  incor- 
poration of  the  Maryland  Agricultural  College.  Under  the 
provisions  of  this  charter  the  corner-stone  of  the  original  col- 
lege building  was  laid  on  August  24,  1858,  and  the  institution 
was  opened  to  the  public  on  October  5,  1859.  No  funds  were 
provided  by  the  Act  of  1856,  but  the  actual  establishment  of 
the  College  was  made  possible  by  the  contributions  of  public- 
spirited  citizens  of  the  commonwealth.  The  names  of  these 
persons,  in  remembrance  of  their  generosity,  are  inscribed  on 
the  massive  gateway  to  the  College  grounds.  The  College  is 
unique  in  that  its  original  charter  was  the  first  in  which  sys- 
tematic agricultural  experimentation  was  recognized  as  an 
important  part  of  its  activities.  The  institution  thus  created 
was  the  first  significant  agricultural  college  on  the  Atlantic 
slope  and  the  second  in  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

For  three  years  the  College  was  under  private  management. 
In  1862  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  recognizing  the  prac- 
tical value  and  increasing  need  of  such  colleges,  passed  the  Land 
Grant  Act.  This  act  granted  each  State  and  Territory  that 
should  claim  its  benefits  a  proportionate  amount  of  unclaimed 
Western  lands,  in  place  of  scrip,  the  proceeds  from  the  sale 
of  which  should  apply  under  certain  conditions  to  the  "endow- 
ment, support  and  maintenance  of  at  least  one  college  where 
the  leading  object  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific 
and  classical  studies,  and  including  military  tactics,  to  teach 


16 


such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the 
mechanic  arts,  in  such  manner  as  the  Legislatures  of  the  States 
may  respectively  prescribe,  in  order  to  promote  the  liberal  and 
practical  education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several  pur- 
suits and  professions  of  life."  This  grant  was  accepted  by  the 
General  Assembly  of  Maryland.  The  Maryland  Agricultural 
College  was  named  as  the  beneficiary  of  the  grant.  Thus  the 
College  became,  at  least  in  part,  a  State  institution ;  in  the  fall 
of  1914  its  control  was  taken  over  entirely  by  the  State.  In 
1916  the  General  Assembly  granted  a  new  charter  to  the  Col- 
lege and  changed  its  name  from  The  Maryland  Agricultural 
College  to  The  Maryland  State  College  of  Agriculture. 

In  1847  an  act  had  been  passed  making  provision  for  a  State 
laboratory  in  which  the  application  of  chemistry  to  agriculture 
was  to  be  undertaken.  In  1858,  following  the  selection  of  a 
location  for  the  College,  experimentation  was  undertaken  on 
the  College  farm.  After  two  or  three  years  this  work  was 
interrupted  by  the  general  financial  distress  of  the  time  and  by 
the  Civil  War.  In  1888,  under  the  provisions  of  the  Hatch  Act 
e)f  the  preceding  year,  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  was 
established  as  a  department  of  the  College. 

Other  major  divisions  of  the  College,  together  with  the  dates 
of  their  establishment,  are  as  follows:  State  Department  of 
Fertilizer,  Feed  and  Agricultural  Lime  Control,  1894;  State 
Department  of  Farmers'  Institutes,  1896 ;  State  Horticultural 
Department,  1898;  Extension  Service,  1914,  and  Vocational 
Training,  1918.  The  State  Bureau  of  Forestry  co-operates  with 
the  College,  the  director  being,  by  the  terms  of  his  appoint- 
ment. Lecturer  on  Forestry. 

The  progress  of  the  College,  though  not  rapid,  has  been 
steady  and  in  the  main  satisfactory.  By  virtue  of  the  broad 
scope  of  its  activities  it  is  the  most  important  factor  in  the 
agricultural  and  industrial  development  of  the  State. 

Agricultural  Experiment  Station — This  is  a  distinct  depart- 
ment of  the  College  and  is  primarily  an  institution  of  scientific 
research  for  the  benefit  of  agriculture.  It  was  called  into  exist- 
ence as  a  result  of  the  passage  of  the  United  States  Hatch  Act 


17 


in  1887.   This  act  states  the  object  and  purpose  of  the  Experi- 
ment Station  as  follows : 

That  it  shall  be  the  object  and  duty  of  said  Experiment  Stations  to 
conduct  original  researches  or  verify  experiments  on  the  physiology  of 
plants  and  animals ;  the  diseases  to  which  they  are  severally  subject,  with 
the  remedies  for  the  same;  the  chemical  composition  of  useful  plants  at 
their  different  stages  of  growth;  the  comparative  advantages  of  rotative 
cropping  as  pursued  under  a  varying  series  of  crops;  the  capacity  of  new 
plants  or  trees  for  acclimation;  the  analysis  of  soils  and  water;  the 
chemical  composition  of  manures,  natural  or  artificial,  with  experiments 
designed  to  test  their  comparative  effects  on  crops  of  different  kinds ;  the 
adaptation  and  value  of  grasses  and  forage  plants;  the  composition  and 
digestibility  of  the  different  kinds  of  food  for  domestic  animals;  the 
scientific  and  economic  questions  involved  in  the  production  of  butter  and 
cheese;  and  such  other  researches  or  experiments  bearing  directly  on  the 
agricultural  industry  of  the  United  States  as  may  in  each  case  be  deemed 
advisable,  having  due  regard  to  the  varying  conditions  and  needs  of  the 
respective  States  or  Territories. 

Prior  to  the  establishment  of  the  Experiment  Stations  there 
was  practically  no  agricultural  science  in  this  country.  The 
work  done  by  these  institutions  during  the  past  quarter  of  a 
century  has  given  the  colleges  a  science  of  agriculture  to  teach, 
and  laid  a  broad  foundation  for  the  future  development  of  the 
agriculture  of  the  country. 

The  placing  of  agricultural  demonstrations  and  extension 
work  on  a  national  basis  has  been  the  direct  outgrowth  of  the 
work  of  the  Experiment  Station. 

The  students  of  the  College  are  kept  in  close  touch  by  their 
professors  with  the  investigations  in  progress.  Also  they 
receive  special  lectures  and  instruction  by  the  persons  in  charge 
of  investigations.  Some  students  are  employed  by  the  station 
on  the  farm  and  in  the  laboratories.  The  station  offers  several 
research  fellowships  to  students  who  desire  to  study  for 
advanced  degrees.  These  fellowships  are  open  to  graduates 
of  other  colleges  as  well  as  of  this  institution.  They  pay  from 
$40  to  $60  per  month,  depending  upon  the  nature  of  the  work 
and  amount  of  time  given  to  station  work. 

Extension  Service — ^The  Extension  Service  of  the  College,  in 
co-operation  with  the  United  States  Department  of  Agricul- 


18 


1 1 


ture,  performs  the  important  function  of  carrying  to  the  people 
of  the  State,  through  practical  demonstrations  conducted  by 
specialists  and  county  agents,  the  results  of  investigations  in 
the  fields  of  Agriculture  and  Home  Economics.  The  organiza- 
tion consists  of  the  administrative  forces,  including  the  direc- 
tor, assistant  director,  specialists  and  clerical  force,  on  the  one 
hand;  and  the  field  forces,  including  the  county  agricultural 
demonstration  agents  and  the  home  demonstration  agents  in 
each  county  and  in  the  chief  cities  of  the  State,  on  the  other. 

Each  specialist  is  responsible  for  a  certain  project.  The 
county  agents  and  the  specialists  jointly  carry  on  practical 
demonstrations  under  the  several  projects  by  inducing  the 
farmers  and  home-makers  to  follow  specific  directions  in  the 
production  of  some  certain  crop,  or  in  some  phase  of  home- 
making,  with  the  view  of  putting  into  practice  on  the  farms  of 
the  State  improved  methods  of  Agriculture  and  Home  Eco- 
nomics that  have  stood  the  test  of  investigation  and  experi- 
mentation. Movable  schools,  lasting  sometimes  many  days, 
are  held  in  the  several  counties.  At  such  schools  the  specialists 
discuss  phases  of  Agriculture  and  Home  Economics  in  which 
the  people  of  the  respective  counties  are  specially  interested. 

The  work  of  the  Boys'  Agricultural  Clubs  is  of  especial 
importance  from  an  educational  point  of  view.  The  specialists 
in  charge  of  these  projects,  in  co-operation  with  the  county 
agricultural  agents,  organize  the  boys  of  the  several  communi- 
ties of  the  county  into  agricultural  clubs  for  the  purpose  of 
teaching  them  by  actual  practice  the  principles  underlying  the 
growing  of  an  acre  of  corn,  an  eighth  acre  of  potatoes  or  the 
raising  of  a  pig  or  a  flock  of  poultry.  The  boys  hold  regular 
meetings  for  the  discussion  of  problems  connected  with  their 
several  projects  and  for  the  comparison  of  experiences.  Prizes 
are  offered  for  the  stimulation  of  interest  in  the  work. 

The  Home  Economics  specialists  and  agents  organize  the 
girls  into  clubs  for  the  purpose  of  instructing  them  in  the  prin- 
ciples underlying  canning,  drying,  preserving  of  fruits  and 
vegetables,  cooking,  dressmaking  and  other  forms  of  Home 
Economics  work.    In  the  club  work  the  boys  and  girls  learn 


19 


how  to  do  by  doing.  One  thousand  two  hundred  and  thirteen 
boys  and  2,045  girls  were  enrolled  in  clubs  in  1917. 

Educational  value  of  the  demonstration  work,  farmers*  meet- 
ings, movable  schools,  the  club  work  and  community  shows  is 
incalculable.  The  effect  is  to  carry  the  College  to  the  farmer 
and  home-maker. 

Board  of  Trustees — ^This  board  consists  of  nine  persons  who 
are  citizens  of  the  State,  each  appointed  by  the  Governor,  with 
the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate,  for  a  term  of  nine  years. 
Thus  under  normal  conditions  one  new  appointment  is  made 
to  the  board  each  year.  A  special  act  provides  that  the  persons 
appointed  as  trustees  shall  also  be  appointed  as  the  State  Board 
of  Agriculture. 

Support — The  College  is  supported  by  Federal  funds  and  by 
appropriations  of  the  State  Legislature.  The  first  Morrill,  or 
Land  Grant,  Act  of  1862  allotted  210,000  acres  of  land  to 
Maryland,  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  which  have  been 
invested  for  the  benefit  of  the  College.  From  this  endowment 
the  College  receives  $5,979  a  year.  The  second  Morrill  Act  of 
1890  appropriated  $25,000  a  year  for  educational  purposes,  and 
the  College  became  the  beneficiary.  In  1907,  by  the  Nelson 
Act  $25,000  more  was  appropriated.  The  purposes  to  which 
these  amounts  may  be  applied  are  restricted.  Furthermore, 
a  certain  proportion  of  the  Federal  funds  goes  for  the  support 
of  the  Eastern  Branch  of  the  Maryland  State  College  of 
Agriculture,  which  is  devoted  to  the  education  of  the  colored 
race  in  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts.  The  Smith-Hughes 
Act  of  1917  provides  annually  an  increasing  amount  for  the 
training  of  teachers  in  agriculture,  the  industrial  arts  and  home 
economics,  and  in  addition  gives  aid  to  secondary  schools  for 
the  promotion  of  vocational  education.  The  assignment  of  a 
portion  of  this  work  to  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  brings 
it  into  even  closer  co-operation  with  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion and  the  schools  of  the  State.  The  College  thus  becomes, 
as  it  should,  the  crowning  point  of  the  State  educational 
system. 


20 


Under  the  Hatch  Act  of  1887  and  the  Adams  Act  of  1906 
$30,000  is  appropriated  annually  by  the  Federal  Government 
for  the  organization  and  support  of  agricultural  experiment 
stations. 

The  Smith-Lever  Act,  passed  by  Congress  in  1914,  grants 
yearly  an  increasing  appropriation  for  agricultural  and  home- 
economics  extension  work  in  the  State. 

In  addition  to  the  above  Federal  funds,  appropriations  have 
been  made  by  the  State  Legislature  for  the  erection  of  build- 
ings, payment  of  salaries,  etc. 

Location  and  Description — ^The  College  is  located  in  Prince 
George's  County,  Maryland,  on  the  line  of  the  Washington 
Branch  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad,  eight  miles  from 
Washington  and  thirty-two  miles  from  Baltimore.  At  least 
eight  trains  a  day  from  each  city  stop  at  College  Station,  thus 
making  the  place  easily  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  State. 
Telephone  connection  is  made  with  the  Chesapeake  and 
Potomac  lines. 

The  grounds  front  on  the  Baltimore  and  Washington  Boule- 
vard. The  suburban  town  of  Hyattsville  is  two  miles  to  the 
south,  and  Laurel,  the  largest  town  in  the  county,  is  ten  miles 
to  the  north  on  the  same  road.  Access  to  these  towns  and  to 
Washington  may  be  had  by  steam  and  electric  railway.  The 
site  of  the  College  is  particularly  beautiful.  The  buildings 
occupy  the  crest  of  a  commanding  hill,  which  is  covered  with 
forest  trees  and  overlooks  the  entire  surrounding  country.  In 
front,  extending  to  the  boulevard,  is  a  broad  rolling  campus, 
the  drill  ground  and  athletic  field.  In  the  rear  are  the  farm 
buildings  and  barn.  A  quarter  of  a  mile  to  the  northeast  are 
the  buildings  of  the  Experiment  Station.  The  College  farm 
contains  about  300  acres,  and  is  devoted  to  fields,  gardens, 
orchards,  vineyard,  poultry  yards,  etc.,  used  for  experimental 
purposes  and  demonstration  work  in  agriculture  and  horticul- 
ture. 

The  general  appearance  of  the  College  grounds  is  exceedingly 
attractive.  They  are  tastefully  laid  off  in  lawns  and  terraces 
which  are  ornamented  with  shrubbery  and  flower  beds.  The 
view  from  the  grove  and  campus  cannot  be  surpassed. 


21 


The  location  of  the  College  is  healthful ;  the  sanitary  condi- 
tions are  excellent.  No  better  proof  of  this  can  be  given  than 
that  there  has  been  practically  no  serious  case  of  illness  among 
the  students  for  many  years. 

Health  Service — The  health  of  the  student  body  is  of  prime 
importance  to  the  College  and  it  is  in  consequence  carefully 
conserved.  A  physician  is  engaged  by  the  College  especially 
for  this  work.  A  hospital  is  maintained  in  which  students, 
whenever  necessary,  are  put  under  the  care  of  a  trained  nurse. 

Buildings — The  executive  and  instructional  divisions  of  the 
College  have  quarters  in  the  following  structures:  A  brick 
building,  erected  in  1894  as  a  gymnasium  and  now  used  tem- 
porarily as  a  library;  a  chemical  building,  completed  in  1897, 
used  both  for  instruction  in  chemistry  and  for  State  work  in 
the  analysis  of  fertilizers,  feeds  and  agricultural  lime ;  Morrill 
Hall,  built  in  1898,  in  which  the  Division  of  Language  and 
Literature  is  situated,  as  well  as  the  Zoological  classrooms 
and  laboratories;  an  engineering  building,  erected  in  1898, 
which  provides  suitable  quarters  for  the  Departments  of  Civil, 
Electrical  and  Mechanical  Engineering  and  the  Departments 
of  Mathematics  and  Physics ;  a  horticultural  building,  built  in 
1915,  which  contains  offices,  classrooms  and  propagating 
rooms ;  and  a  large,  modern  fireproof  building,  finished  in  1918,. 
which  contains  the  executive  offices  and  is  devoted  almost, 
exclusively  to  instruction  in  the  agricultural  sciences. 

On  account  of  the  destruction  by  fire  in  1912  of  two  of  the 
largest  buildings,  two  temporary  structures  are  in  use  as  an 
assembly  hall  and  a  dining  hall.  Excellent  dormitory  accommo- 
dations are  provided  in  Calvert  Hall,  a  modem  fireproof  build- 
ing erected  in  1914.  The  Armory  is  also  located  in  it.  Other 
buildings  on  the  campus  furnish  living  quarters  for  a  number  of 
students.  A  frame  building,  formerly  the  president's  home,  is 
occupied  temporarily  by  the  Department  of  Home  Economics. 
The  College  Sanitarium,  built  in  1901,  makes  it  possible  to 
treat  properly  any  case  of  illness  among  the  students. 

Library — In  1915  the  College  library  and  that  of  the  Experi- 
ment Station  were  consolidated,  and  are  now  administered 


22 


1^ 


under  one  head.  The  first  floor  of  the  Library  Building  is 
devoted  to  books  and  periodicals  relating  to  agriculture  and 
allied  sciences.  The  second  floor  is  used  as  a  general  reading 
room,  and  also  as  a  stackroom  for  the  more  general  classes  of 
books. 

The  combined  libraries  contain  approximately  15,000  books 
and  pamphlets.  Most  of  the  leading  magazines  and  news- 
papers are  subscribed  for;  technical  periodicals,  as  a  rule,  are 
deposited  in  the  libraries  of  the  various  departments  of  the 
College  and  Experiment  Station.  Through  the  generosity  of 
the  county  press  of  the  State,  most  of  the  county  papers  are 
available  for  use  by  the  patrons  of  the  library. 

The  central,  basic  idea  of  the  administration  of  the  library 
is  service.  It  is  frankly  recognized  that  the  library  should  be 
a  laboratory  for  the  use  of  students,  members  of  the  faculty 
and  members  of  the  Experiment  Station  staff ;  and  everything 
possible  is  done  to  make  the  library  popular.  The  reading 
rooms  are  well  arranged  and  lighted,  and  are  in  all  respects 
comfortable  and  convenient.  Every  facility  is  offered  to  those 
desiring  to  make  researches  within  the  scope  of  the  books  and 
publications  on  the  shelves  of  the  library. 

Religious  Influences — Provisions  in  the  charter  of  the  Col- 
lege provide  that  it  shall  be  non-sectarian.  From  time  to  time 
religious  services  are  conducted  at  the  College  under  the  direc- 
tion of  different  churches.  Churches  of  practically  all  denomi- 
nations are  located  within  a  radius  of  two  miles. 

Christian  Associations — "The  moral  and  spiritual  welfare  of 
any  community  lies  within  the  community  itself,"  and  through 
the  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations 
the  students  of  Maryland  State  College  accept  this  responsi- 
bility. Primary  purpose  of  these  organizations  is  to  develop 
the  moral  life  of  the  College.  The  basis  of  membership  is  non- 
sectarian  and  broad  enough  to  allow  every  student  who  stands 
for  Christian  ideals  to  affiliate  himself  or  herself  with  them. 
The  associations  seek  to  create  an  atmosphere  of  democratic 
good  fellowship  and  high  standard  among  the  student  body. 
The  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations 


23 


are  anxious  to  assist  new  students  in  every  way  possible.  Their 
representative  will  meet  them  at  the  railroad  station,  direct 
them  to  the  College,  help  them  get  located  in  their  rooms,  and 
make  them  acquainted  with  other  students  and  the  faculty. 

Lectures — Lectures  of  a  general  and  a  technical  character 
have  been  an  important  feature  of  the  College  activities  for 
several  years.  The  lectures  are  often  given  in  connection  with 
motion  pictures  or  other  special  entertainments  during  the 
assembly  periods,  when  all  students  as  well  as  visitors  can 
attend.  Aside  from  the  meetings  of  general  interest  each  divi- 
sion of  the  College  calls  in  specialists  from  the  various  prac- 
tical fields  of  activity  to  lecture  to  groups  of  students  accord- 
ing to  their  interests. 

Student  Organizations — The  athletic,  social,  literary  and 
scientific  interests  of  the  College  give  occasion  for  various 
student  organizations.  These  are  encouraged  as  a  means 
of  creating  class  and  college  pride,  and  as  aids  toward  the 
development  of  the  student  in  his  conduct  of  affairs.  In  science 
there  are  the  Agricultural  Club,  the  Engineering  Society  and 
the  Liebig  Chemical  Society.  To  foster  public  speaking  and 
literary  interest  there  are  two  literary  societies,  the  Poe  and 
the  New  Mercer.  These  are  under  the  direction  of  the  pro- 
fessor of  public  speaking,  which  subject  every  student  is  re- 
quired to  take.  As  a  further  means  of  stimulating  interest  in 
public  speaking,  there  exists  the  Oratorical  Association  of 
Maryland  Colleges.  This  organization  is  composed  of  the 
following  colleges:  St.  John's  College,  Washington  College, 
Western  Maryland  College  and  the  Maryland  State  College. 
Contests  are  held  annually  in  rotation  at  these  four  institu- 
tions. The  Rossbourg  Club,  the  county  clubs  and  the  fraterni- 
ties promote  wholesome  social  relations. 

Student  Publications— "The  Maryland  State  Weekly,"  the 
students'  newspaper,  is  issued  each  week  while  the  College  is 
in  session.  It  is  published  by  a  staff  representing  each  class. 
"The  Reveille,"  a  record  of  general  student  activity,  is  brought 
out  at  the  close  of  each  year  by  the  senior  class. 


24 


Alumni  Association — The  alumni  of  the  College,  including 
men  of  note  in  all  fields  of  endeavor,  through  their  organiza- 
tion exert  a  stimulating  influence  in  molding  public  opinion 
in  behalf  of  the  College  and  in  bettering  conditions  in  the 
institution.  They  are  also  active  individually  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  College.  The  association  offers  medals  for  excel- 
lence in  debate  and  intercollegiate  athletic  competition,  and 
through  its  members  on  the  Committee  on  Physical  Training 
endeavors  to  promote  lofty  ideals  and  high  achievement  in 
athletics. 

The  present  officers  of  the  association  are:  R.  Laurie 
Mitchell,  '02,  president ;  George  H.  Calvert,  Jr.,  '02,  vice-presi- 
dent ;  H.  C.  Byrd,  '08,  secretary-treasurer ;  J.  N.  Mackall,  '05, 
and  F.  P.  Veitch,  '91,  members  at  large  of  the  executive  com- 
mittee, and  W.  D.  Groff ,  '00,  and  H.  C.  Whitford,  '01,  members 
of  the  athletic  committee. 

Military  Instruction — An  infantry  unit  of  the  senior  division 
of  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps  has  been  established 
at  the  College  under  the  provisions  of  the  Act  of  Congress  of 
June  3,  1916.  All  male  students,  if  citizens  of  the  United 
States,  whether  pursuing  a  four-year  or  a  two-year  course  of 
study,  are  required  to  take  for  a  period  of  two  years,  as  a  pre- 
requisite to  graduation,  the  military  training  furnished  by  the 
War  Department  in  accordance  with  the  aforementioned  act. 
Three  periods  a  week  of  not  less  than  one  hour  each  are  devoted 
to  this  work,  of  which  one  period  is  utilized  for  theoretical  in- 
struction. At  the  end  of  the  sophomore  year  a  student  may 
volunteer  for  further  training.  His  record  is  examined  by  the 
president  of  the  College  and  the  professor  of  military  science 
and  tactics.  If  accepted,  the  volunteer  will,  after  signing  a 
written  agreement  prescribed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  be 
enrolled  for  two  or  more  years  of  training  in  the  Reserve 
Officers'  Training  Corps.  Such  students  are  required  to  give 
fours  hours  a  week  to  this  advanced  training,  three  of  which 
are  utilized  for  theoretical  instruction.  These  students  are 
required  also  to  attend  two  summer  camps  of  four  weeks  each. 
Any  student  completing  this  advanced  training  course  is  eligi- 


25 


ble  for  appointment  by  the  President  of  the  United  States  as  a 
Reserve  Officer  of  the  United  States  Army  for  a  period  of  ten 
years.  They  are  also  eligible  for  appointment,  under  certain 
prescribed  conditions,  as  temporary  second  lieutenants  in  the 
Regular  Army  for  a  period  of  six  months. 

The  Federal  Government  furnishes  uniforms,  or  commuta- 
tion therefor,  to  all  members  of  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training 
Corps,  and  also  commutation  of  subsistence  to  such  students 
as  are  selected  for  advanced  training  during  the  junior  and 
senior  years.  The  Government  furthermore  pays  the  expenses 
of  attendance  at  the  required  summer  training  camps,  includ- 
ing traveling  expenses. 

All  physically  fit  male  students,  not  members  of  the  Reserve 
Officers'  Training  Corps,  are  required  by  the  College  regulations 
to  take  two  hours  a  week  each  year  of  practical  drill,  unless 
excused  by  the  President  for  some  satisfactory  reason. 

College  credit  is  given  for  work  in  the  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Corps.  Since  the  credits  obtained  for  the  first  two 
years  of  this  training  are  prerequisite  to  graduation,  any  stu- 
dent of  either  sex  who  for  any  reason  whatever  does  not  take 
this  work  must  elect  approved  subjects  in  place  thereof  to 
obtain  equivalent  credits. 

Athletics — ^Upon  the  opening  of  College  in  the  fall  athletics 
will  be  conducted  under  a  plan  of  organization  tending  to  give 
every  student  an  opportunity  to  take  part  in  some  branch  of 
competitive  sports.  The  whole  Department  of  Physical  Train- 
ing is  being  reorganized  so  that  all  students  will  receive  a  com- 
prehensive development  along  natural  lines.  The  preliminary 
part  of  the  work  will  consist  of  squad  drills  in  calisthenics  and 
a  thorough  examination  by  a  competent  physician.  The  squad 
drills  are  to  be  supplemented  by  intra-mural  athletics,  with 
class  organizations  as  the  units.  Baseball,  track  and  field, 
basketball,  boxing  and  wrestling  will  be  the  main  intra-mural 
sports.  The  teams  developed  for  intercollegiate  competition 
will  be  made  up  of  men  selected  from  the  best  of  those  taking 
part  in  the  regular  sports  between  classes  and  other  units.  In 
intercollegiate  competition  the  College  is  represented  in  football, 


lii-fi: 


26 


baseball,  track  and  field,  basketball,  lacrosse  and  tennis.  Tht 
athletics  of  the  College  is  conducted  on  principles  calculatec 
to  give  the  students  development  in  ethics  and  character  as  wel 
as  physical  strength.  The  rules  governing  the  eligibility  o: 
students  for  places  on  teams  in  intercollegiate  competition  are 
more  stringent  than  those  of  any  other  institution  in  Mary 
land.  The  department  works  in  conjunction  with  the  Depart 
ment  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics. 

Student  Government — The  government  of  the  student  body 
is  based  on  a  spirit  of  pure  democracy.  The  students  are  taughi 
not  only  the  theory  of  self-government  but  the  practice.  All 
affairs  relating  to  the  student  body  are  adjudicated  by  a  com- 
mittee composed  of  four  members  of  the  faculty  and  the  presi- 
dents of  the  classes.  This  committee  establishes  a  definite  and 
close  relationship  between  the  faculty  and  students.  The  whole 
idea  of  government  of  the  student  body  is  based  on  the  honor 
system,  in  which  each  student  is  trusted  to  do  the  "square 
thing." 

Divisions  and  Courses  of  Instruction — ^The  College  performs 
its  various  functions  through  organization  into  divisions  and 
departments.  These  unite  in  offering  a  number  of  closely 
related  courses  leading,  after  four  years  of  general  and  special- 
ized study,  to  the  bachelor's  degree.  All  courses  are  practically 
alike  in  the  freshman  year,  for  this  is  largely  a  probationary 
period  in  which  the  student  is  supposed  to  determine  definitely 
which  of  the  several  courses  he  wishes  to  pursue.  After  the 
Freshman  year  a  change  in  course  is  not  permitted  unless  war- 
ranted by  exceptional  circumstances.  A  substantial  founda- 
tion is  laid  during  the  first  year.  The  opportunity  for  special- 
ization and  election  increases  with  each  succeeding  year.  Upon 
reaching  the  senior  year  the  work  of  each  student  is  almost 
wholly  specialized. 

A  student  when  entering  will  select  the  division  in  which  he 
expects  to  work,  and  furthermore  will  elect  his  course  after 
consultation  with  the  dean  of  the  division.  The  divisions  and 
the  courses  offered  by  them  are  given  below : 


27 


Division  of  Animal  Industry — Courses  in  Animal  Husbandry. 

Division  of  Applied  Science — Courses  in  Chemistry  and  General  Science. 

Division  of  Vocational  Education — Courses  in  Agricultural  Education, 
Home-Economics  Education  and  Industrial  Education. 

Division  of  Engineering— Courses  in  Civil  Engineering,  Electrical  Engi- 
neering, Mechanical  Engineering  and  Rural  Engineering. 

Division  of  Language  and  Literature — Auxiliary  instruction  in  Lan- 
guage and  Literature. 

Division  of  Plant  Industry — Courses  in  Agronomy,  Botany,  Entomology, 
Landscape  Gardening  and  Floriculture,  Pomology  and  Vegetable  Cul- 
ture. 

A  detailed  statement  as  to  the  subjects  studied  in  each  of 
these  courses  will  be  found  under  the  various  divisions.  Here 
may  be  found  also  the  amount  of  time  given  to  each  subject, 
its  credit  value  and  the  opportunity  for  election.  In  certain 
technical  courses,  such  as  engineering,  little  latitude  is  allowed 
in  selecting  subjects,  after  the  student  has  once  settled  on  a 
particular  course.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  agricultural 
courses  a  wide  selection  is  permitted.  The  reasons  for  this 
difference  in  procedure  are  obvious  when  the  development  of 
the  courses  and  the  character  of  the  subjects  are  considered. 

Short  Courses  in  Agriculture — ^The  short  courses  in  the  Col- 
lege are  designed  especially  to  meet  the  demands  of  young  men 
on  the  farm  who  cannot  find  time  to  take  a  regular  four-year 
course,  or  for  those  who  have  not  had  sufficient  educational 
training  for  admission  to  the  longer  courses.  Aside  from  the 
winter  unit-courses  the  College  offers  a  Two-Year  Agricultural 
Course  and  a  Three-Year  Agricultural  Practice  Course.  The 
two-year  course  runs  for  the  entire  college  year,  while  the 
three-year  course  runs  for  three  months  (December,  January 
and  February)  during  the  winter. 

Short  Course  in  Engineering — A  two-year  course  in  Engineer- 
ing, embodying  work  in  the  mechanic  arts,  is  offered  to  young 
men  who  are  unable,  for  various  reasons,  to  take  any  of  the 
four-year  courses  in  Engineering.  It  gives  an  opportunity  for 
training  in  Mechanics  or  Electricity  at  the  option  of  the 
student. 

Graduation,  Degrees  and  Certificates — All  four-year  courses 
in  the  College  lead  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science.    The 


■«fli 


28 


ihlilil'^ 


total  requirement  for  graduation,  exclusive  of  military  science 
is  204  term  credit  hours,  equivalent  to  68  year  hours,  or  13 
semester  hours.  A  term  credit  hour  is  one  lecture  or  recita 
tion  a  week  for  one  term ;  two  or  three  hours  of  laboratory  o 
field  work  are  counted  equivalent  to  one  lecture  or  recitation 
All  practical  work  is  scheduled  for  three  hours,  but  the  in 
structor  concerned  is  permitted  to  use  two  or  three,  depending 
upon  the  nature  of  the  work. 

Candidates  are  recommended  for  graduation  after  they  hav 
completed  the  prescribed  course  of  study,  including  all  the  re 
quired  work  and  enough  electives  to  total  204  credit  hours,  no 
including  military  science.  No  degrees  are  given  to  students 
in  the  Two- Year  or  the  Three- Year  Agricultural  Practice 
Courses,  but  at  graduation  time  appropriate  certificates  ar( 
granted  to  those  completing  the  regular  work  as  outlined. 

Graduate  Study  and  Advanced  Degrees — The  advanced  de 
grees  conferred  by  the  College  are  Master  of  Science  and  pro- 
fessional engineering  degrees  as  follows :  Civil  Engineer,  Elec- 
trical Engineer  and  Mechanical  Engineer.  A  candidate  foi 
graduate  work  in  science  must  hold  a  Bachelor's  degree 
from  an  institution  of  recognized  standing  and  present  the 
basic  prerequisites  to  the  field  in  which  he  wishes  to  study 
For  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science  one  year  of  residence 
wholly  devoted  to  graduate  work  is  required.  Under  this 
ruling  it  will  require  a  student  working  half  time  at  least  two 
years  to  qualify  for  the  Master's  degree,  and  one  doing  lesg 
than  half-time  work  three  years.  While  the  requirement  foi 
the  Master's  degree  is  not  conditional  to  the  completion  of  2 
definite  number  of  hours,  the  amount  of  work  required  shoulc 
usually  aggregate  not  less  than  the  equivalent  of  fifteen  credil 
hours  per  week  through  the  year,  inclusive  of  the  thesis.  Tc 
fulfill  the  requirements  for  the  Master's  degree  the  studeni 
must  complete  an  approved  course  of  study,  consisting  of  t 
major  subject  and  two  minors,  one  of  which  must  be  in  t 
different  department  from  the  major  and  relate  in  genera 
character  to  that  subject.  The  minor  subjects  should  aggre 
gate  not  less  than  five  credit  hours  nor  more  than  seven  pei 
week  through  the  year.

When  special  organization  has  been  made  for  that  purpose, 
credit  may  be  given  for  research  carried  on  in  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  of  the  United  States  Government.  The  Experi- 
ment Station  also  offers  considerable  opportunity  for  research 
of  a  graduate  character. 

Admission  to  graduate  work  does  not  necessarily  imply 
admission  to  candidacy  for  a  degree.  Those  seeking  admission 
to  graduate  work  should  request  an  application  blank  and 
further  information  from  the  registrar.  A  candidate  for  the 
Master's  degree  must  present  his  application  for  admission  to 
candidacy  not  less  than  six  months  prior  to  the  date  at  which 
the  degree  is  sought.  Admission  to  candidacy  is  based  upon 
ability  to  pursue  graduate  work  as  exemplified  in  the  official 
reports  upon  the  student's  course.  A  student  will  not  be 
admitted  to  candidacy  until  he  has  completed  the  equivalent 
of  one  term  of  graduate  work. 

A  satisfactory  thesis  is  required,  the  subject  of  which,  to- 
gether with  the  written  approval  of  the  professor  in  charge  of 
the  major,  must  be  filed  with  the  chairman  of  the  Graduate 
Committee  not  later  than  the  close  of  the  first  term  of  the 
academic  year  in  which  the  degree  is  sought.  The  completed 
manuscript  ready  for  typewriting  shall  be  submitted  to  the 
professor  in  charge  for  correction  and  approval  not  later  than 
two  weeks  prior  to  commencement  day. 

The  advanced  professional  degrees  in  engineering  will  be 
granted  only  to  graduates  of  this  College,  who  have  obtained 
the  Bachelor's  degree  in  engineering.  A  candidate  for  the 
degree  of  Civil  Engineer,  Electrical  Engineer  or  Mechanical 
Engineer  must  satisfy  the  following  conditions : 

1.  He  shall  have  been  engaged  in  acceptable  engineering 
pursuits  for  not  less  than  three  years. 

2.  His  application  for  a  degree  must  be  approved  twelve 
months  prior  to  the  date  at  which  the  degree  is  sought. 

3.  He  shall  present  a  satisfactory  thesis. 

4.  He  shall  present  with  his  application  a  complete  report 
of  his  engineering  experience  and  an  outline  of  his  thesis.

5.  He  must  be  considered  eligible  by  a  committee  composed 
of  the  heads  of  the  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical  Engineer- 
ing Departments,  to  whom  his  application  must  be  referred. 

Unclassified  Students — Mature  persons  who  have  had  insuffi- 
cient preparation  to  pursue  any  of  the  four-year  courses  may, 
with  the  consent  of  the  Committee  on  Courses,  matriculate  for 
such  subjects  as  they  are  fitted  to  take.  Such  students,  how- 
ever, will  be  ineligible  for  a  degree  until  they  have  satisfied 
the  entrance  requirements  and  completed  an  approved  four- 
year  course  of  study. 

Sub-Collegiate  Work — Until  recently  the  College  maintained 
a  sub-collegiate  department  for  the  benefit  of  students  regis- 
tering with  deficiencies.  At  the  present  time  a  plan  is  under 
consideration  which  will  afford  students  an  opportunity  to  re- 
move such  deficiencies  in  a  nearby  high  school.  It  may  be  pos- 
sible for  students  not  having  the  advantages  of  a  high  school 
in  their  community  to  do  several  years  of  high  school  work 
under  this  co-operative  plan. 

Examinations  and  Reports — ^Final  examinations  are  held  at 
the  close  of  each  term.  The  final  grades  are  made  from  these 
examinations  and  the  daily  averages.  Detailed  reports  of  the 
students'  standing  are  sent  to  parents  and  guardians  at  the 
end  of  every  term.  Special  reports  of  deficiencies,  failures  or 
misconduct  are  sent  whenever  deemed  necessary. 

Admission  Requirements  of  the  College — In  general  the  re- 
quirements for  admission  to  the  freshman  class  are  the  same 
as  those  prescribed  for  graduation  by  the  approved  high  schools 
of  Maryland.  An  applicant  must  offer  for  admission  at  least 
15  units  of  credit  by  examination,  or  by  a  certificate  from 
an  approved  high  school  or  its  equivalent.  A  unit  represents  a 
year's  study  in  any  subject  in  a  secondary  school  and  consti- 
tutes approximately  a  quarter  of  a  full  year's  work.  It  pre- 
supposes a  school  year  of  36  to  40  weeks,  recitation  periods 
of  from  40  to  60  minutes,  and  for  each  study  four  or  five  class 
exercises  a  week.  Two  laboratory  periods  in  any  science  or 
vocational  study  are  considered  as  equivalent  to  one  class 
exercise. 


81 

Of  the  fifteen  units  presented,  seven  are  specifically  desig- 
nated— eight  for  Division  of  Engineering — and  eight  may  be 
elected  from  any  subject  that  the  high  school  offers  toward 
graduation.  A  deficiency  of  two  units  is  approved  under  the 
condition  that  the  student  remove  such  conditions  within  12 
months  after  matriculation. 

Students  are  admitted  without  examination,  if  they  can  pre- 
sent certificates  showing  that  they  have  completed  the  neces- 
sary entrance  subjects.  The  certificates  persented  by  the  can- 
didates must  be  officially  certified  by  the  principals  of  the 
schools  attended  and  must  state  in  detail  the  work  completed. 
Blank  certificates  conveniently  arranged  for  the  desired  data 
will  be  sent  upon  application. 

Candidates  not  admitted  by  certificates  will  be  required  to 
take  written  examinations  on  the  entrance  subjects.  These 
examinations  are  offered  in  June  and  September.  Exact  dates 
will  be  sent  upon  request.

A  student  coming  from  a  standard  college  or  university  may 
secure  advanced  standing  by  presenting  a  statement  of  his 
complete  academic  record  certified  by  the  proper  officials.  This 
statement  must  be  accompanied  by  a  set  of  secondary  school 
credentials  presented  for  admission  to  the  college  or  university. 
Full  credit  is  given  for  work  done  in  other  institutions  when 
found  to  be  equivalent  in  extent  and  quality  to  that  required  at 
this  College.  An  applicant  may  request  examination  for  ad- 
vanced credit  in  any  subject.  In  case  the  character  of  a 
student's  work  in  any  subject  is  such  as  to  create  doubt  as  to 
the  quality  of  that  which  preceded,  the  College  explicitly 
reserves  the  right  to  revoke  at  any  time  any  credit  assigned 
on  certificate. 

Registration — The  College  year  begins  October  1  and  ends 
May  30.  (See  calendar  on  Page  1.)  Monday,  September  30, 
and  Tuesday,  October  1,  are  devoted  to  matriculation  and  regis- 
tration of  students  for  the  first  term.  Registration  for  the 
second  and  third  terms  takes  place  on  the  first  day  of  the  terms 
as  indicated  by  the  calendar. 

Candidates  for  the  freshman  class  should  go  at  once  to  the 
new  agricultural  building,  where  they  will  find  a  committee  in 
charge  of  matriculation  and  registration. 

Upper  classmen  should  consult  their  advisers  or  deans  and 
then  proceed  in  the  regular  way.  Students  are  not  admitted 
to  classes  for  which  they  are  not  registered  in  due  form. 

Lectures  and  practical  work  begin  as  scheduled  on  Wednes- 
day, October  2. 

Expenses — Average  expenses  of  a  student  for  each  year 
range  around  $300.  The  College  is  not  organized  as  a  money- 
making  institution,  consequently  holds  expenses  to  a  minimum. 
Board  is  one  item  which  fluctuates  somewhat  under  present 
conditions,  but  not  sufficiently  to  make  any  material  difference 
in  the  outlay  for  the  year.  Board  and  lodging  are  furnished 
on  a  wholesale  cost  basis.

may  be  made  on  or  after  June  1.  This  fee  will  be  credited  to 
the  student's  account,  but  if  he  fails  to  return  to  or  enter  Col- 
lege it  will  be  forfeited. 

Students  entering  College  after  November  1,  or  withdrawing 
before  close  of  scholastic  year,  will  be  charged  $7  per  month

charged  for  one  month's  attendance. 

In  case  of  illness  requiring  a  special  nurse  and  special  medical 
attention,  the  expenses  must  be  borne  by  the  student. 

All  College  expenses  are  payable  in  advance,  and  no  diploma 
will  be  conferred  upon,  nor  any  certificate  issued  to,  a  student 
who  is  in  arrears  in  his  account.

When  a  student  withdraws  from  College  he  is  required  to 
give  formal  notification  in  writing  in  separate  communications 
to  the  Registrar  and  Accountant.  Charges  for  full  time  will 
be  continued  against  him  unless  this  is  done. 

Students  rooming  outside  the  College  may  obtain  board  and 
laundry  from  the  College  at  same  rates  as  those  living  in 
dormitories. 

Day  students  may  get  lunch  at  nearby  lunchrooms. 

All  College  property  in  possession  of  the  individual  student 
is  charged  against  him,  and  the  parent  or  guardian  must 
assume  responsibility  for  its  return  without  injury  other  than 
results  from  ordinary  wear. 

Damage  to  College  property  will  be  charged  to  the  whole 
student  body  pro  rata  unless  the  offender  is  known. 

All  students  assigned  to  dormitories  are  required  to  provide 
themselves  with  one  pair  blankets  for  single  bed,  two  pairs 
sheets  for  single  bed,  four  pillow  cases,  six  towels,  one  pillow 
and  two  clothes  bags. 

There  will  be  no  refund  of  laboratory  fees  upon  withdrawal 
of  a  student  after  the  middle  of  a  term. 

There  will  be  no  refund  of  fixed  charges  or  laboratory  fees 
upon  the  withdrawal  of  a  student  after  the  middle  of  the  term 
for  which  charge  is  made. 

Uniform — Members  of  the  Student  Battalion  must  appear  in 
uniform  at  all  military  formations  and  at  other  specified  times. 
The  uniforms  worn  by  the  members  of  the  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Corps  under  normal  conditions  are  furnished  by  the 
War  Department.  It  is  possible,  however,  that  with  the  great 
demand  for  uniforms  for  the  army  the  Government  will  not  be 
able  to  supply  uniforms  for  the  members  of  the  Reserve 
Officers'  Training  Camp,  but  will  provide  commutation  which 
will  meet,  at  least  in  part,  the  cost  of  the  uniforms  provided 
by  these  students.  Students  required  to  drill  under  the  pro- 
visions of  the  "Land  Grant  Act"  of  1862,  who  are  not  members 
of  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps,  must  furnish  their 
own  uniforms. 


35 


Prices  fluctuate  to  such  an  unusual  degree  at  this  time  that 
it  is  not  possible  to  state  definitely  the  cost  of  a  uniform  not 
provided  by  the  Government,  but  it  should  not  exceed  $30.  A 
deposit  covering  the  cost  of  a  uniform  purchased  under  a  Col- 
lege contract  must  be  made  with  the  Accountant  in  advance. 
No  uniform  w^ill  be  paid  for  by  the  College  until  it  is  approved 
by  the  Professor  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics. 

The  uniform  consists  of  one  pair  breeches,  woolen,  olive 
drab;  one  cap,  olive  drab;  one  pair  leggings,  canvas;  one  cap 
and  collar  ornament,  set;  one  pair  shoes,  russet;  one  shirt, 
flannel,  olive  drab,  and  one  regulation  tie. 

Scholarships  and  Financial  Aid — Although  no  endowment 
or  loan  fund  exists  with  which  to  assist  needy  students,  there 
are  many  opportunities  for  students  to  earn  at  least  a  portion 
of  their  expenses.  Means  of  self-help,  however,  are  afforded 
only  to  such  students  as  show  ability  to  carry  work  in  addition 
to  their  College  course,  and  to  those  who  are  disposed  to  assume 
such  extra  duties  willingly.  Scholarships  are  offered  as  indi- 
cated below : 

To  encourage  worthy  young  men  who  desire  a  collegiate 
education,  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  established  for  each  high 
school  in  Maryland  and  the  District  of  Columbia  one  scholar- 
ship each  year,  to  be  awarded  under  the  following  conditions : 

1.  The  person  awarded  a  scholarship  must  be  a  graduate  of  a  high 
school  and  qualified  to  enter  the  freshman  class.  He  must  also  be  of 
approved  moral  character. 

2.  The  appointment  to  a  scholarship  shall  be  made  by  the  school  super- 
intendent, upon  the  recommendation  and  certification  of  the  principal  of 
the  high  school. 

The  principal  of  the  high  school  may  recommend  one  or  more  persons 
for  appointment,  with  information  as  to  the  merits  of  each  case.  In 
making  appointments,  not  only  class  standing  but  inability  to  meet  the 
financial  expenses  of  an  education  should  be  given  consideration. 

3.  The  appointment  shall  be  made  for  the  term  normally  required  to 
complete  the  course  selected. 

4.  Each  scholarship  has  the  value  of  $50  per  year.  This  amount 
will  be  credited  to  the  holder's  account. 

5.  The  scholarship  will  be  forfeited  by  indifference  to  scholastic  work 
or  by  disregard  of  rules  of  the  College. 


!iN'-i 


36 


6.  The  scholarship  will  be  forfeited  in  case  the  holder  fails  of  promo- 
tion at  the  end  of  any  scholastic  year,  unless  there  are  extenuating 
circumstances. 

There  has  also  been  established  one  scholarship  each  year  for 
graduates  of  each  preparatory  school  in  Maryland  and  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia  in  which  the  standard  is  of  such  a  character 
as  to  qualify  the  appointee  for  entrance  to  the  freshman  class. 
The  conditions  governing  these  scholarships  are  the  same  as 
for  the  high  schools,  except  that  the  appointment  shall  be 
made  by  the  principal  of  the  preparatory  school.

INTRODUCTION 

The  Division  of  Plant  Industry  is  composed  of  the  follow- 
ing departments : 


1.  Agronomy. 

a.  Forage  Crops. 

b.  Grain  Crops. 

2.  Soils  and  Soil  Fertility. 

3.  Horticulture. 

a.  Vegetable  Gardening. 

b.  Pomology. 

c.  Landscape      Gardening 

Floriculture. 


and 


4.  Forestry. 

5.  Economic  Botany. 

a.  General  Botany. 

b.  Plant  Physiology. 

c.  Plant  Pathology. 

6.  Economic  Zoology. 

a.  General  Zoology. 

b.  Entomv^logy. 

c.  Bee  Culture. 


Students  are  permitted  to  specialize  in  any  of  the  above- 
mentioned  departments  except  Forestry.  Prospective  stu- 
dents for  Agronomy,  Soils  or  Horticulture  who  have  not  had 
satisfactory  practical  experience  on  a  farm  before  entering 
College  will  be  required  to  spend  from  three  to  six  months  on 
an  approved  farm  before  graduation. 

The  subjects  required  in  the  freshman  year  are  the  same 
in  all  departments,  but  at  the  end  of  the  year  students  are 
expected  to  make  a  decision  in  regard  to  their  line  of  special-

ization.  The  junior  and  senior  years  are  devoted  largely  to 
special  subjects  and  electives.  At  least  25  per  cent,  of  the 
total  hours  required  for  graduation  are  necessary  to  specialize 
in  a  subject.  With  a  wide  leeway  for  electives  it  is  possible  for 
a  student  to  take  as  much  work  in  another  department  as  in 
his  special  subject.  It  is  possible,  therefore,  for  a  student  to 
get  either  a  special  or  a  general  training  in  agriculture.  Special- 
ists who  expect  to  carry  on  investigational  work  after  leaving 
College  are  urged  to  remain  for  graduate  work. 


OUTLINE  OF  COURSES  OFFERED 

The  required  and  elective  work  of  the  various  departments 
of  the  division  is  outlined  on  the  following  pages.  The  College 
reserves  the  right  to  withdraw  any  course  at  any  time :

Introduction — The  subject  of  soils  is  very  closely  allied  to  the  subject 
of  Agronomy,  and  for  that  reason  the  schedule  of  study  is  the  same  for 
both.  Students  majoring  in  the  course  should  be  well  fitted  for  general 
farming  or  investigational  work.

EQUIPMENT  AND  FACILITIES  FOR  INSTRUCTION 

The  nearness  of  the  College  to  Washington  and  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture  and  the  Congressional 
Library  gives  it  advantages  that  the  other  agricultural  colleges 
lack. 

Instructors  of  the  Division  of  Plant  Industry  frequently  take 
their  classes  to  the  Government  farm  at  Arlington  and  other 
places  of  interest  in  and  about  the  United  States  Department. 

Graduate  students  are  permitted,  where  satisfactory  ar- 
rangement can  be  made,  to  do  their  investigational  work  in  the 
United  States  Department  under  the  supervision  of  the  proper 
College  authorities. 

The  departments  of  Agronomy,  Soils  and  Botany  have  quar- 
ters in  the  new  Agricultural  Building,  which  is  to  be  equipped 
with  the  most  modern  classroom  and  laboratory  facilities. 

The  Department  of  Agronomy  recently  installed  modern 
apparatus  for  grading  and  testing  grains,  and  students  wishing 
to  equip  themselves  for  this  new  line  of  work  will  have  an 
opportunity  to  do  so. 

The  Department  of  Botany  is  prepared  to  give  undergraduate 
and  graduate  instruction  in  all  phases  of  the  subject.  Special 
emphasis  is  placed  upon  plant  physiology  and  diseases  of  eco- 
nomic plants. 

The  Department  of  Zoology  has  its  laboratories  well  supplied 
with  collections  of  insects,  models,  microscopes  and  other  sup- 
plies necessary  for  practical  work  in  zoology  and  entomology.. 
A  greenhouse  with  an  aquarium  and  a  screen  insectary  adja- 
cent to  the  laboratories  are  used  for  class  and  investigational 
work.  Since  the  State  and  Experiment  Station  entomological 
work  is  conducted  through  the  College  department,  it  has 
special  advantages  for  students  in  applied  entomology. 

All  departments  of  the  division  have  greenhouses  for  experi- 
mental and  demonstration  purposes.  The  Horticultural  De- 
partment has  at  its  disposal  10  greenhouses  that  are  50  feet  by 
20  feet  and  of  the  latest  model.  Adjacent  to  these  is  a  10-acre 
patch  of  land  for  orchards  and  gardens.    The  laboratories  are

equipped  with  tools  necessary  for  practical  work.  With  these 
facilities  the  department  offers  instruction  to  students  desiring 
to  specialize  in  any  phase  of  pomology,  vegetable  gardening, 
landscape  gardening  or  floriculture. 

The  Experiment  Station,  being  on  the  same  campus  with  the 
College,  offers  a  field  of  observation  in  farm  practice,  experi- 
mental plots,  greenhouses  and  orchards  for  students  interested 
in  plant  industry. 

An  exhibit  of  field  crops  and  horticultural  products  will  be 
held  every  autumn.  All  students  bringing  material  from  their 
home  farms  are  permitted  to  exhibit  it  for  prizes.

INTRODUCTION 


The  object  of  the  work  in  Animal  Husbandry  is  to  give 
instruction  in  all  lines  of  work  which  pertain  to  the  judging, 
breeding,  selecting,  development  and  improving  the  various 
breeds,  types  and  classes  of  domesticated  animals.  The  course 
in  Animal  Husbandry  is  offered  to  students  who  wish  to  become 
proficient  in  those  branches  of  animal  or  dairy  husbandry 
which  relate  to  the  breeding  of  pure-bred  and  high-grade  stock. 
Attention  is  given  to  the  production,  handling,  marketing  and 
manufacturing  of  high-class  dairy  products.  The  students  are 
always  given  such  instruction  as  to  enable  them:  (1)  To  secure 
positions  in  the  various  lines  of  work  which  demand  young  men 
well  trained  in  animal  husbandry  and  dairying ;  (2)  to  conduct 
their  own  farming  operations  with  pleasure  and  profit.

ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY 
Equipment  and  Facilities  for  Instruction 

The  Division  of  Animal  Husbandry  is  equipped  with  a  new 
stock- judging  pavilion  and  modern  rooms  for  the  preparation 
of  market  milk,  milk-testing  laboratory,  creamery  manufac- 
tures, offices  and  classrooms. 

Good  herds  of  stock  are  being  established  at  the  Experiment 
Station,  which  are  of  use  to  the  student  in  his  studies.  In 
addition  to  the  supply  of  stock  on  the  farm,  the  proximity  of 
the  College  to  Washington  and  Baltimore  makes  it  possible  for 
the  student  to  get  excellent  material  for  study. 

It  is  evident  that  there  is  but  one  way  to  make  a  young  man 
a  proficient  judge  of  live-stock,  and  that  is  by  training  the  eye. 
In  all  of  the  lecture  and  laboratory  work  outffned  in  the  courses 
the  work  is  demonstrated  with  living  specimens. 

Junior  and  senior  students  taking  this  course  are  sent  to 
farms  throughout  the  State  of  Maryland  to  supervise  advanced 
registry  tests  for  the  dairy  associations.  These  trips  give  the 
students  the  advantage  of  observing  the  most  up-to-date  farms 
in  the  country,  in  addition  to  practical  experience.  Each  year 
a  judging  team  consisting  of  three  students  participates  in  the 
students'  contest  in  judging  dairy  cattle  at  the  National  Dairy 
Show.  Students  in  any  of  the  agricultural  courses  are  eligible 
to  compete  for  a  place  on  this  team.  The  selection  of  students 
for  the  team  is  based  upon  ability  and  efficiency  in  this  line  of 
work. 

Students  desiring  to  specialize  in  any  line  of  live  stock  are 
allowed  to  do  so,  and  animals  are  furnished  for  the  special 
purpose  whenever  possible.  Berkshire,  Duroc-Jersey,  Tam- 
worth  and  large  Yorkshire  breeds  of  swine  are  maintained.

INTRODUCTION 

For  administrative  purposes  the  engineering  group  includes, 
in  addition  to  the  departments  of  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechani- 
cal Engineering,  the  departments  of  Mathematics,  Physics, 
Physical  Training  and  Military  Science  and  Tactics. 

Courses  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  are 
offered  in  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical  and  Rural  Engineer- 
ing, respectively.  An  outline  of  each  is  found  on  the  succeed- 
ing pages.  The  four-year  courses  are  arranged  with  a  view  to 
preparing  the  student  for  immediate  usefulness  in  the  technical 
world.  The  fundamental  principles  are  emphasized  through 
lectures,  recitations  and  practical  exercises  in  the  laboratory, 
drafting  room,  shop  and  field.  The  courses  allow  some  lati- 
tude in  the  selection  of  subjects  in  the  senior  year,  but  in  the 
main  they  are  fixed  in  character,  since  experience  indicates  that 


72 

the  faculty  is  better  qualified  to  select  the  subjects  to  be 
studied  than  the  average  undergraduate.  The  curriculums 
include  studies  which  provide  a  broad  general  culture  as  well 
as  a  good  foundation  for  technical  engineering.  Emphasis  is 
placed  on  the  necessity  for  the  development  of  self-reliance, 
honest  and  accurate  methods  of  work,  and  good  judgment  in 
addition  to  mastering  the  scientific  laws  underlying  the  pro- 
fession of  engineering  and  applying  them. 


Instruction 

The  division  is  organized,  first,  to  instruct  the  students  who 
desire  to  practice  engineering  as  a  profession,  and,  second,  to 
teach  students  interested  in  agriculture  and  applied  science, 
such  branches  of  mechanic  arts  and  engineering  as  will  promote 
their  individual  interests.  Instruction  in  certain  subjects  re- 
quired under  the  provision  of  the  Smith-Hughes  Act  for  the 
training  of  teachers  in  the  industrial  arts  will  be  given.  An 
opportunity  is  afforded  each  year  for  practicing  road  engineers 
to  take  an  intensive  course  in  road  building  and  maintenance, 
and  for  persons  attending  the  short  courses  in  agriculture  to 
obtain  instruction  in  farm  machinery,  wood  work,  the  mixing 
and  placing  of  concrete,  etc. 

The  work  in  the  departments  of  Mathematics  and  Physics  is 
developed  with  a  view  both  to  its  cultural  and  its  utilitarian 
value.  The  utilitarian  point  of  view  is  probably  more  empha- 
sized because  scientific  training  is  so  largely  dependent  on 
these  subjects,  particularly  mathematics.  Their  value,  how- 
ever, in  mental  training  and  in  general  culture  is  clearly  pre- 
sented to  the  students. 

A  general  statement  regarding  military  instruction  is  given 
elsewhere.  An  outline  of  subjects  assigned  to  the  Department 
of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  under  provisions  of  the  act 
establishing  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps,  is  placed 
with  those  given  by  the  other  departments  of  the  division.

SUMMER  WORK  AND  INSPECTION 

In  addition  to  the  work  given  during  the  regular  session, 
summer  work  covering  100  hours  of  field,  laboratory,  shop 
or  office  practice  is  required  of  members  of  the  freshman  class. 
This  work  will  be  developed  to  include  also  a  specified  amount 
of  time  at  the  close  of  the  sophomore  and  junior  years.  Sum- 
mer employment  will  be  accepted  as  a  substitute  for  this  work, 
if  found  to  be  equivalent. 

The  proximity  of  the  College  to  Baltimore  and  Washington 
and  to  other  places  where  there  are  great  industrial  enter- 
prises offers  an  excellent  opportunity  for  engineering  students 
to  observe  what  is  being  done  in  their  chosen  field.  An  instruc- 
tor accompanies  students  on  all  trips  of  inspection. 

Information  and  advice  is  given  to  farmers  and  others  inter- 
ested concerning  drainage,  sanitation,  water  supply,  lighting, 
farm  machinery  and  other  small  engineering  problems  when- 
ever possible,  although  neither  an  Experiment  Station  nor  an 
Extension  Department  in  Engineering  has  as  yet  been  estab- 
lished. 

OUTLINE  OF  COURSES  OFFERED 

The  normal  curriculum  of  each  four-year  course  is  outlined 
on  the  following  pages.  Since  the  state  of  war  now  existing 
may  give  rise  to  conditions  which  will  necessitate  a  modification 
of  these  courses,  the  right  is  reserved  to  change  any  outline  at 
any  time:

celled opportunities  for  experimental  work.  A  six-horsepower, 
four-cycle  gasoline  engine  equipped  with  prony  brake  permits 
the  making  of  tests  in  gas  engineering. 

The  Physics  Laboratory  is  well  supplied  with  apparatus  for 
lecture-room  demonstrations  and  for  experiments  undertaken

by  students.  New  pieces  of  apparatus  are  added  to  the  equip- 
ment each  year. 

The  shops  are  well  lighted  and  admirably  adapted  to  the  pur- 
pose for  which  they  were  designed.  The  wood-working  shop 
contains  accommodations  for  bench  work  and  wood  turning. 
The  power  machinery  in  this  shop  is  a  band  and  universal  cir- 
cular saw,  five  12-inch  turning  lathes,  one  16-inch  by  10-foot 
patternmaker's  lathe,  a  grindstone,  wood  trimmer,  26-inch 
wood  planer  and  universal  tool  grinder. 

In  the  forge  shops  are  16  power  forges,  2  hand  forges  and  a 
pressure  fan  and  exhauster  for  keeping  the  shop  free  of  smoke. 
There  is  a  full  assortment  of  smith's  tools  for  each  forge. 

The  foundry  is  equipped  with  an  iron  cupola,  which  melts 
1,200  pounds  of  iron  per  hour,  a  brass  furnace,  one  core  oven 
and  the  necessary  flasks  and  tools. 

The  machine  shop  equipment  consists  of  1  10-inch  speed 
lathe,  1  22-inch  engine  lathe  with  compound  rest,  1  12-inch 
combined  foot  and  power  lathe,  2  14-inch  engine  lathes,  1  24- 
inch  drill  press,  1  No.  4  emery  tool  grinder,  1  No.  IV2  universal 
milling  machine  and  an  assortment  of  vises,  taps,  dies,  pipe- 
tools  and  measuring  instruments. 

The  machinery  of  the  pattern  and  machine  shops  is  driven 
by  a  9  by  14  inch  automatic  cut-off,  high-speed  engine,  built  by 
members  of  the  junior  and  senior  mechanical  engineering 
classes,  after  the  standard  design  of  the  Atlas  engine.  An 
8  by  12  inch  engine  drives  the  machinery  of  the  blacksmith 
shop  and  foundry.  It  was  presented  to  the  College  by  the  city 
of  Baltimore  and  secured  through  the  efforts  of  the  late  Rear- 
Admiral  John  D.  Ford. 

The  surveying  equipment  includes  a  number  of  transits, 
levels,  compasses,  plane  tables  and  minor  instruments  for  use 
in  plane,  topographic,  railroad  and  geodetic  work.  These  are 
added  to  as  the  necessity  for  other  equipment  arises.

INTRODUCTION 

The  Division  of  General  Science  is  charged  with  two  distinct 
classes  of  work.  (1)  The  licensing,  inspection  and  analysis  of 
fertilizers,  feeds  and  agricultural  lime  sold  in  the  State,  the 
professor  of  chemistry  being,  ex  officio,  the  State  Chemist. 
The  results  of  this  work  are  published  in  a  "quarterly"  bulletin, 
which  is  sent  free  to  all  Maryland  farmers  who  apply  for  it. 
(2)  The  instruction  of  students. 

The  Chemical  Laboratory  Building  contains  laboratories, 
office  and  balance  room  for  the  State  fertilizer,  feed  and  lime 
control  work,  lecture  room,  supply  room  and  four  other  labora- 
tories. In  addition  classrooms  in  Morrill  Hall  are  used  and  two 
bacteriological  laboratories  in  the  new  Agricultural  Building. 

The  laboratories  are  well  equipped  with  standard  apparatus 
and  chemicals,  chemical  and  assay  balances,  polariscopes,  re- 
fractometers,  spectroscopes,  microscopes  with  high-power  oil 
immersion  lenses,  etc.  Each  student  is  provided  with  a  locker, 
reagents  and  apparatus  and  has  the  use  of  a  working  desk. 

The  division  is  provided  with  a  library  of  standard  reference 
books  on  chemistry  and  related  subjects,  to  which  additions  are 
made  from  time  to  time. 

Instruction  in  chemistry  is  begun  with  the  first  term  of  the 
freshman  year.  Laboratory  work  by  the  student  is  empha- 
sized and  special  attention  is  given  to  elements  and  compounds 
of  practical  and  economic  importance.    The  first  year  is  in-

tended  to  give  the  student  that  practical  and  theoretical  knowl- 
edge of  elementary  chemistry  which  is  essential  in  the  educa- 
tion of  every  man,  no  matter  what  his  vocation.  It  also  serves 
as  a  foundation  for  advanced  work  in  chemistry,  if  the  course 
in  chemistry  is  chosen.

DESCRIPTION  OF  SUBJECTS  OFFERED 


Following  are  descriptions  of  the  courses  offered  by  the 
various  departments  in  the  Division  of  General  Science : 

Chemical  Course — The  course  in  Chemistry  differs  but  little 
from  the  other  courses  until  the  beginning  of  the  sophomore 
year  and  the  work  in  the  freshman  year  of  any  of  the  four- 
year  courses  will  prepare  for  it,  as  the  amount  of  chemistry  is 


110 


li 


the  same  in  all  courses  to  the  beginning  of  the  sophomore  year 
and  the  demands  on  the  agricultural  or  technical  chemist  are 
now  so  varied  that  a  foundation  with  more  of  the  essentials  of 
the  agricultural  or  the  engineering  courses  is  often  desirable. 

Beginning  with  the  sophomore  year  the  major  part  of  the 
student's  time  is  devoted  to  chemistry,  the  practical  work  in  the 
laboratory  occupying  approximately  half  his  time.  The  course 
is  essentially  a  course  in  agricultural  chemistry,  fitting  the 
graduate  for  positions  in  agricultural  colleges,  experiment 
stations  and  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture. 

General  Science  Course — The  General  Science  Course  is 
offered  to  those  young  men  who  have  not  chosen  as  their  voca- 
tion in  life  any  of  the  technical  professions,  but  who  are  seeking 
for  such  general  culture  as  will  fit  them  to  become,  after  gradu- 
ation, useful  members  of  society.  Young  men  desiring  to 
study  law  or  medicine  or  the  liberal  arts,  or  to  become  teachers, 
will  find  in  the  curriculum  of  this  course  a  highly  satisfactory 
preparation  for  such  work.  While  emphasis  has  been  placed 
upon  subjects  such  as  English  language,  literature,  history, 
mathematics,  etc.,  natural  science  occupies  a  prominent  place 
in  the  course  and  the  range  of  electives  will  enable  each  to 
choose  for  himself,  under  certain  necessary  regulations,  such  a 
group  of  studies  as  will  be  best  adapted  to  his  own  peculiar 
requirements. 

A  wide  range  of  electives  is  offered  in  order  to  meet,  as  far 
as  possible,  the  needs  of  every  student.  At  the  opening  of  the 
session  the  student  must  select,  with  the  approval  of  the  Dean 
of  the  division,  a  consistent  group  of  courses  for  the  year.  No 
change  may  be  made  in  this  group  later  in  the  session,  except 
with  the  approval  of  the  Dean.

INTRODUCTION 

The  Division  of  Vocational  Education  offers  opportunity  to 
prepare  for  teaching  in  secondary  vocational  schools  of  the 
types  encouraged  by  the  Smith-Hughes  Act.  As  a  means  to 
that  end  its  vocational  education  curricula  and  courses  have 
the  approval  of  the  Maryland  State  Board  of  Education. 
Graduates  from  its  curricula  are  eligible  for  certification  by  the 
State  Superintendent  of  Schools  without  examination.  The 
work  is  organized  in  four  departments — namely,  Agricultural 
Education,  Home  Economics  Education,  Trade  and  Industrial 
Education  and  Supervised  Teaching. 

In  addition  to  the  teacher  training  work,  the  division  also 
includes  the  departments  of  Government,  History  and  Rural 
Economics. 

The  four-year  curricula  of  the  division  consist  of  regular 
collegiate  courses  and  lead  to  the  Bachelor's  degree  given  by 
the  College.  These  curricula  consist  of  Agricultural  Educa- 
tion, Home  Economics  Education,  Trade  and  Industrial  Educa- 
tion and  Farm  Management  and  Agricultural  Economics.  The 
Home  Economics  Education  curriculum  is  offered  in  co-opera- 
tion with  the  Division  of  Home  Economics. 

One-year  curricula  for  the  training  of  teachers  of  trade  and 
industrial  subjects  and  teachers  of  related  trade  and  industrial 
subjects  will  be  offered  to  persons  of  maturity.   Upon  the  satis- 


114 

factory  completion  of  such  curricula,  prospective  teachers  will 
be  issued  certificates  of  proficiency. 

As  the  need  for  evening  classes  in  Trade  and  Industrial  and 
Home  Economics  Education  arises,  special  curricula  in  these 
fields  will  be  offered  at  centers  throughout  the  State.  The 
number  and  location  of  these  centers  will  depend  entirely  upon 
the  need  and  demand  for  such  instruction.  The  courses  will 
be  organized  on  the  short-unit  basis  and  will  be  maintained 
only  as  long  as  the  demand  justifies  it.  Upon  the  satisfactory 
completion  of  such  special  curricula  students  will  be  issued 
certificates  of  proficiency.

Follow-Up  Courses 

By  a  uniform  system  of  follow-up,  the  division  keeps  a  com- 
plete record  of  the  qualifications  of  the  prospective  teacher,  of 
his  work  while  in  training,  and  of  his  efficiency  as  a  teacher 
upon  entering  the  field.  As  the  beginning  teacher's  training 
is  not  considered  complete  until  he  has  demonstrated  his  ability 
to  turn  out  workers  proficient  in  the  vocation  for  which  he  is 
offering  instruction,  an  attempt  is  made  to  give  him  such  help 
as  he  may  need  from  time  to  time,  particularly  during  his  first 
year's  teaching  experience. 

In  summer  courses  in  vocational  education  are  offered  for 
the  benefit  of  teachers  in  service  and  such  individuals  as  may 
be  able  to  qualify  for  the  teaching  of  a  vocation  upon  the  com- 
pletion of  the  work. 

By  a  system  of  itinerant  teaching,  special  courses  in  voca- 
tional education  are  offered  in  evenings  and  on  Saturdays  to 
teachers  in  service. 

COURSES 

Agricultural  Education — In  addition  to  the  entrance  require- 
ments, involving  graduation  from  a  standard  four-year  high 
school,  students  electing  the  Agricultural  Education  curriculum 
must  present  evidence  of  having  acquired  farm  experience  after 
reaching  the  age  of  14  years.  Graduation  will  depend  upon 
the  successful  completion  of  the  curriculum  as  laid  down  and 


115 

farm  experience  equivalent  to  at  least  two  years  of  farm  work. 
Some  of  the  farm  experience  may  be  acquired  after  the  student 
has  entered  College. 

The  48  hours  of  electives  allowed  by  this  curriculum  may 
be  selected  from  any  of  the  courses  offered  by  the  College  for 
which  the  student  has  the  necessary  prerequisites.  This  free- 
dom affords  not  only  an  opportunity  to  acquire  a  broad  train- 
ing in  agriculture  of  the  type  needed  for  farming  and  teaching 
the  vocation,  but  permits  also  some  specialization  in  a  particu- 
lar field  of  production  as  agronomy,  pomology,  vegetable  gar- 
dening, or  animal  husbandry.  In  making  such  elections  the 
student  should  consult  the  Dean  in  charge  of  the  specialty  as 
well  as  the  Dean  of  this  division.  Students  should  arrange 
their  work  so  that  at  least  40  per  cent,  of  their  time  will  have 
been  spent  on  technical  agriculture,  25  per  cent,  on  scientific 
subjects,  20  per  cent,  on  subjects  of  a  general  educational  char- 
acter and  from  12  to  15  per  cent,  on  subjects  in  professional 
education.

SUPERVISED  TEACHING 

The  supervised  teaching  required  in  courses  numbered  Voca- 
tional Education  108  and  Vocational  Education  111  is  in  charge 
of  the  individual  at  the  head  of  this  department,  supervising 
teachers,  professors  of  special  methods  in  vocational  agricul- 
ture and  home  economics  and  the  principal  in  charge  of  the 
high  school  in  which  such  work  is  conducted. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  head  of  the  department  of  supervised 
teaching  to  arrange  in  consultation  with  the  supervising  teach- 
ers and  the  principal  the  details  involved  in  the  administration 
of  the  practical  work  of  students  engaged  as  junior  teachers, 
assume  responsibility  for  the  prompt  fulfillment  of  duties  on 
the  part  of  a  student  acting  in  such  capacity,  and  safeguard  the 
interests  of  such  students  as  individuals  engaged  in  training 
for  a  State  teacher's  certificate.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  supervising 
teacher  to  assume  entire  responsibility  for  the  instruction  of 
the  pupils  enrolled  in  the  secondary  courses  for  which  he  is 
responsible,  supervise  the  lesson  plans  and  classroom  teaching 
of  the  junior  teachers  under  him,  and  assist  in  every  way 
possible  in  the  training  and  development  of  students  in  such 
service.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  professor  of  special  methods  to 
keep  in  close  touch  with  the  work  of  the  supervising  teachers 
in  his  field,  study  the  development  of  students  as  junior  teach- 
ers and  assist  supervising  teachers  in  their  work  with  such 


125 

students.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  principal  to  maintain  the  school 
as  a  school,  safeguard  the  interests  of  the  pupils  and  endeavor 
to  develop  within  the  school  the  best  that  modern  secondary 
education  has  to  offer. 

The  first  aim  of  the  courses  in  supervised  teaching  is  to 
acquaint  the  student  with  the  professional  relations  that  ought 
to  be  considered  in  connection  with  the  teaching  of  any  subject 
in  a  high  school.  Plans  are  prepared  for  subsequent  work  in 
the  classes  of  supervising  teachers.  Students  failing  during 
their  regular  period  of  supervised  teaching  to  display  essential 
qualifications  for  teaching  are  required  to  extend  their  periods 
of  preparation  under  such  arrangements  as  can  be  made  for 
each  mdividual  case.

Division  of  Home  Economics 

ANNOUNCEMENT 

A  recent  act  of  the  Maryland  Legislature  made  possible  the 
establishment  of  the  Division  of  Home  Economics.  This 
division  will  be  able  to  enroll  a  limited  number  of  students  by 
October  1,  1918.  As  this  catalogue  goes  to  press  but  few  of 
the  instructors  have  been  selected  for  the  work.  Sufficient 
basic  courses,  however,  are  outlined  to  enable  prospective  stu- 
dents and  their  agents  to  gain  an  idea  of  the  character  of  the 
instruction  which  the  College  proposes  to  inaugurate. 

FOREWORD 

The  Division  of  Home  Economics  offers  opportunity  to  pre- 
pare for  home  making  and  home  economics  teaching.  The 
courses  given  will  include  fundamental  training  which  will 
enable  the  student  to  prepare  for  such  professional  service  as 
interior  decorating,  dressmaking,  millinery  and  managing  or 
serving  as  a  dietition  in  a  private  home,  institutional  household, 
hospital,  school  or  college  dormitory  with  a  small  amount  of 
specialized  training.  On  account  of  the  demand  for  trained 
teachers  of  home  economics  and  the  limited  dormitory  space, 
students  will  be  accepted  only  in  the  curriculum  preparing  for 
teaching.  This  curriculum  is  offered  in  co-operation  with  the 
Division  of  Vocational  Education. 


HOME  ECONOMICS  EDUCATION 

The  special  entrance  requirements  of  the  Home  Economics 
Education  curriculum  are  stated  in  the  description  of  this  cur- 
riculum under  the  Division  of  Vocational  Education.

OFFICERS  OF  INSTRUCTION 

T.  H.  Spence Dean  of  Division  and  Professor  of  Modem 

Language.

INTRODUCTION 

Instruction  in  the  English  language  and  literature  is  indis- 
pensable to  complete  training.  There  is  no  more  practical 
branch  of  study  than  that  which  teaches  the  student  to  avoid 
the  ordinary  errors,  to  regard  the  laws  of  correct  usage  and 
good  taste,  and  to  express  his  thoughts  in  a  clear,  easy  and 
effective  manner.  This  can  be  accomplished  only  by  system- 
atic instruction  which  stresses  precept,  practice  and  example. 
Consequently,  all  composition  courses  prescribe,  in  addition  to 
rhetorical  theory,  extensive  writing  of  themes  and  constant 
attention  to  the  methods  of  the  masters  of  English  prose. 

Training,  however,  is  not  complete  without  some  knowledge 
of  the  noblest  thoughts  of  the  greatest  minds.  These  are  pre- 
served in  the  masterpieces  of  literature.  To  study  the  classics 
is  to  come  under  their  influence;  hence  a  survey  of  English 
literature  permits  acquaintance  with  and  inculcates  habits  of 
sound  and  painstaking  scholarship. 


MODERN  LANGUAGE 

This  department  embraces  the  study  of  three  branches — 
French,  German  and  Spanish.  Instruction  is  open  to  students 
for  one,  two  or  three  years.  The  work  offered  is  similar  to 
that  of  the  more  advanced  agricultural  colleges,  and  when  cer- 
tified by  this  department  is  accepted  at  full  credit  by  the  larger 
universities  of  the  country. 


130 

The  instruction  in  French  and  German  is  intended — first,  to 
enable  students  who  expect  to  engage  in  investigation  to 
translate  and  to  understand  foreign  scientific  contributions 
which  have  not  been  rendered  into  English;  second,  to  foster 
and  to  train  the  mind  for  accurate  and  logical  methods  of  rea- 
soning ;  and  third,  to  clarify  and  simplify  technical  and  applied 
English,  giving  the  student  a  more  thorough  and  comprehen- 
sive appreciation  of  his  own  language. 

The  recent  political  and  commercial  history  of  our  country 
has  caused  a  knowledge  of  the  Spanish  language  to  be  wholly 
desirable.  Consequently  the  instruction  given  herein  is  prac- 
tical, laying  the  foundations  for  the  spoken  and  written  use  of 
the  language. 

DESCRIPTION  OF  SUBJECTS  OFFERED 

For  convenience  and  ease  in  reference,  the  instruction  is 
arranged  alphabetically.

TWO-YEAR  COURSE  IN  ENGINEERING 

The  object  of  the  course  is  to  prepare  men  for  positions  of 
responsibility  in  lines  of  work  in  which  training  in  mechanic 
arts  is  necessary.  There  is  a  special  need  for  such  men  at  all 
times  and  particularly  in  time  of  war.  The  course  affords  an 
excellent  opportunity  for  training  to  such  persons  as  find  it 
impossible  for  any  reason  to  enter  any  of  the  four-year  courses 
in  Engineering.  A  certificate  is  granted  to  each  student  who 
satisfactorily  completes  the  course.  The  first  year  of  the 
course  is  devoted  to  the  laying  of  a  foundation  in  shop  mathe- 
matics, physics  and  English,  as  well  as  in  drawing  and  shop 
work.  In  the  second  year  most  of  the  time  is  devoted  to  sub- 
jects closely  related  to  mechanical  and  electrical  engineering, 


134 

the  student  selecting  the  branch  in  which  he  thinks  he  may  use 
his  talents  to  the  greatest  advantage. 

Throughout  the  course  emphasis  is  laid  on  the  necessity  for 
turning  out  work  in  the  drafting  room,  shop  and  field  which 
will  meet  the  requirements  of  the  commercial  work.  The  stu- 
dent is  taught  that  a  task  worth  doing  at  all  is  worth  doing 
well  and  that  the  finished  product  from  the  hand,  brains,  or 
both,  must  not  only  pass  inspection,  but  be  better  than  the 
average  if  one  wishes  to  succeed.  Parallel  with  the  practical 
work  instruction  is  given  in  the  fundamentals  upon  which  prac- 
tice is  based.  Thus  the  head  and  hand  are  brought  into  that 
intimate  and  harmonious  relation  so  necessary  to  the  normal 
development  of  the  individual  engaged  in  any  industrial  pursuit. 

Among  the  positions  which  the  course  equips  a  man  to  fill 
may  be  noted  the  following:  Tracers,  draftsmen,  linemen, 
station  operators,  assistants  in  various  branches  related  to 
engineering,  salesmen  for  different  kinds  of  machinery,  and 
assistant  foremen. 

To  enter  the  course  a  student  must  have  completed  at  least 
the  equivalent  of  the  seventh  grade  in  the  Maryland  public 
schools  and  be  not  less  than  16  years  of  age. 

The  tabulated  curriculum  of  the  course  follows.  It  gives  the 
outline  of  the  work  in  both  its  mechanical  and  electrical 
aspects :

TWO-YEAR  AGRICULTURAL  COURSE 

The  Two- Year  Agricultural  Course  embraces  much  of  the 
technical  work  of  the  four-year  courses  and  is  designed  to  lay 
a  foundation  that  will  secure  success  in  practical  farming.  It 
is  planned  especially  to  meet  the  demands  of  young  men  who 
cannot  find  time  to  take  the  regular  courses  of  the  College,  or 
for  those  who  have  not  had  the  necessary  educational  require- 
ments for  admission  to  the  longer  courses. 

Among  the  most  enthusiastic  students  who  have  taken  the 
course  and  give  it  their  hearty  endorsement  are  some  of  the 
landowners  and  best  farmers  of  Maryland.  The  course  is  made 
practical  in  every  sense  of  the  word,  and  for  that  reason  stu- 
dents having  farm  experience  before  entering  will  derive  most 
benefit  from  the  work.  Those  taking  the  course  who  do  not 
live  on  home  farms  are  required  to  spend  at  least  ten  weeks 
between  the  first  and  second  years  on  a  farm  approved  by  the 
College. 

It  is  advisable  for  students  to  carry  on  project  work  where 
possible.  College  authorities  are  always  available  to  supervise 
such  projects,  and  when  satisfactorily  carried  out  credit  may 
be  given  for  the  work.  Look  for  a  list  of  projects  under  the 
Short  Course  in  Agricultural  Practice. 

The  two-year  course  has  the  advantage  of  being  given  during 
the  same  months  that  the  regular  College  courses  are  given. 
The  students  can  enter  into  all  phases  of  athletics  and  other 
student  activities. 

To  enter  the  two-year  course  the  applicant  must  have  prepa- 
ration at  least  equal  to  the  work  given  in  the  seventh  grade  of 
the  Maryland  public  schools. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  course  students  having  completed 
the  regular  work  as  outlined  are  given  a  certificate  stating  the 
studies  pursued  during  the  time  spent  in  the  College.

SHORT  COURSE  IN  AGRICULTURAL  PRACTICE 

(Three  Years  of  Three  Months  Each — December,  January  and 

February) 

There  has  been  a  long-felt  need  for  an  agricultural  course  for 
the  rural  men  and  women  that  will  not  take  them  away  from 
the  farm  during  the  greater  part  of  the  growing  season.  There 
never  has  been  a  time  when  it  is  more  necessary  that  the 


i 


138 

farmers  of  this  country  produce  maximum  crops.  For  these 
reasons  a  new  course  in  Agriculture  has  been  initiated  which 
will  take  the  farmer  away  from  his  home  work  only  three 
winter  months — December,  January  and  February — when  he 
is  least  needed  on  the  farm. 

The  short  course  is  organized  entirely  from  the  practical 
point  of  view.  The  content  embodied  deals  largely  with  farm- 
crop  production,  vegetable  gardening,  pomology,  animal  indus- 
try and  mechanics.  The  methods  employed  show  the  new 
ways  of  handling  old  problems  and  the  best  ways  to  increase 
production  with  the  least  possible  expense. 

This  course  should  appeal  to  men  who  are  actually  up  and 
doing  and  who  want  to  render  greater  service  to  their  country 
by  preparing  to  meet  new  conditions  on  the  farm.  It  should 
make  farm  life  more  interesting,  pleasant  and  profitable.  One 
big  feature  is  that  this  course  affords  an  opportunity  to  come 
shoulder  to  shoulder  with  a  multitude  of  splendid  young  men 
of  Maryland  and  other  States. 

Although  this  course  has  hardly  been  announced  as  yet, 
several  students  have  already  registered  for  the  work.  The 
only  requirement  for  admission  is  a  common  school  education. 
A  high  school  education  will  be  very  helpful,  and  the  course  is 
planned  so  that  it  is  elastic  enough  to  fit  students  with  various 
degrees  of  training. 

Permission  is  given  for  students  to  elect  largely  subjects 
pertaining  to  their  own  interest.  If  the  plan  outlined  is  fol- 
lowed, all  students  will  take  the  general  work  during  the  first 
year  and  then  elect  their  special  work  during  the  second  and 
third  years.  Each  year  should  make  a  unit  so  that  a  student 
who  can  attend  only  one  or  two  years  will  still  have  a  rounded 
course.  Special  supervised  project  work  is  offered  for  all  who 
want  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  College  during  the  summer. 

At  the  suggestion  of  students,  college  specialists  go  to  the 
home  farms  to  ascertain  what  the  greatest  difficulties  are  and 
then  lay  plans  for  the  correction.  A  list  of  projects  to  select 
from  is  given  elsewhere. 

Students  who  have  completed  the  regular  work  as  outlined 
and  have  carried  supervised  project  work  through  two  sum- 


139 

mers  are  given  a  certificate  stating  the  studies  pursued  while 
registered  at  the  College. 

Registration  for  this  course  will  take  place  on  Monday, 
December  2.  The  term  will  close  on  Friday,  February  28. 
Those  who  expect  to  attend  should  request  the  authorities  to 
send  registration  blanks  as  early  in  the  year  as  possible.
