Information Concerning the College

HISTORICAL SKETCH
One of the outstanding achievements of the middle of the nineteenth century was
the remarkable development in the field of science. This, in turn, brought about great
changes in industry, transportation and agriculture and stimulated the desire for new
information and further training. People were enthusiastic about the possibilities of
the future. It is not surprising, therefore, that scientific courses gradually found their
way into the academies and colleges, though not without opposition from the friends
of the old classical training. In many instances, institutions founded along literary
and philosophical lines did not favor the introduction of courses based on the needs
of students desiring to perfect themselves in the technical principles and practices of
the arts and industry. Nevertheless the demand for such courses increased. It was
evident that the old order of education was changing but at the time the new was not
apparent. It was under such conditions that Massachusetts State College had its birth.

The Morrill Act.

This demand for technical education finally crystallized into a bill before Congress
known as the Morrill Act of 1862 endowing colleges for this purpose in every state
of the Union. The bill provided in each state for "the endowment for and mainten-
ance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other
scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach 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 pursuits and professions
of life."

Massachusetts accepted the provisions of the Morrill Act in 1863 by founding a
new college at Amherst to be known as "Massachusetts Agricultural College" and
Chapter 75 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth states that "the leading object
of the College shall be to teach subjects relating to agriculture and the mechanic arts
so as to promote liberal and practical education. Its curriculum may include other
scientific and classical studies and shall include military tactics."

Founding and Early Growth of the College.
The Trustees of Massachusetts Agricultural College were incorporated in 1863 and
officers were appointed in that year. It was not until October 2, 1867, however, that
the institution at Amherst was formally opened to students. At that time there were
four teachers on the faculty and four wooden buildings on the campus. The number
of students steadily increased during the first term and by December, 1867, forty-seven
had been admitted. From this modest beg'nning the College has grown steadily and
its influence has been felt in many parts of t..e world. On April 15, 1931, the name
of the institution was changed by legislative '='na.ctment to Massachusetts State College.

Scope <" r ■ -f-iTUTioN.

In a sense, experimental work is as '^^; ^ 'it't on, for even during its earliest

years some very important investige tl' -'■re] o' hy the instructors. Research

work was established as a separat ur.i' ; : '\ wh'^T the S" '^ p ovided

for the establishment of an agnciiliro n. ent station here. In ^387 another

experimental unit, the Hatch Experiment ■ ; ■ i 'er] by " ' -' pria-

tion. These two stations were comhi!;er • -^ ' have since been Vnown as the

Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment bL^^iiOu.

State law also provides for the maintenance at this College of a Cor': o S-^rvice
to regulate the sale of certain agricu'tural products for the protection of purchasers
and also to eliminate certain dist asos of poultry.

The Extension Service of the College was established in 1912 and was first sup-
ported by grants of Federal Funds in 1914. This division of the College undertakes

10 P.D. 31

the large responsibility of teaching adults and boys and girls throughout the State,
who cannot come to the College for instruction, better methods in agriculture and
home-making.

Resident Instruction.
Opportunities for resident instruction have expanded greatly since the founding of
the College in 1863. In addition to the four-year course leading to the Bachelor of
Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees, there are now offered such short courses as
the Winter School, Summer School, and the two-year course in practical agriculture
known as the Stockbridge School. The Graduate School offers opportunity for study
for advanced degrees. The curriculum of the four-year course includes comprehensive
courses in Agriculture, Home Economics, Horticulture, Humanities, Landscape Archi-
tecture, Physical and Biological Sciences, Physical Education arid Social Sciences.
The aim is to give to each student as high a degree of proficiency in some particular
branch of learning as is possible without sacrificing the breadth of knowledge and
training which should characterize the well-rounded college course.

THE COLLEGE CAMPUS.
Hand in hand with this steady growth of the College, there has come a marked
expansion in physical equipment. The original farm of 1867, with its run-down fields
and degenerated apple orchards cut up here and there by old Virginia rail fences and
hedge rows, has metamorphosed into one of the most attractive college campuses in
New England. A brief statement of land, buildings and equipment will show to what
extent the original four wooden buildings have been out-grown.

Location and Lands.

Massachusetts State College is located in Amherst, a town of about six thousand
people, overlooking one of the most picturesque sections of the Connecticut Valley.
From the standpoint of teaching material in the field of science and agriculture, the
location is ideal. Amherst is eighty-eight miles from Boston and may be reached by
the Central Vermont Railroad, or by bus connections from Northampton, Holyoke,
Greenfield, and Springfield. The campus consists of a tract of approximately seven
hundred acres, lying about a mile north of the village center. In addition the College
owns another area of seven hundred and fifty-five acres located about six miles north
of the campus on Mount Toby. This is used as a demonstration forest.

The College also operates a horticultural field station at Waltham and a cranberry
field station at Wareham.

Buildings and Equipment.

The campus is laid out in the form of an oval attractively set off by the college
pond in the center. Around this oval are grouped the main buildings of the College.
In the following list the principal buildings are presented in order about this oval.

especial strength in entomology, botany, chemistry, horticulture, landscape architec-
ture, soil science, and animal husbandry, but with considerable collections, also, in
literature, history, economics, and sociology. There are more than 116,000 bound
books and 50,000 classified pamphlets giving most recent information.

The periodical file contains more than 550 current magazines, both scientific and
popular, and a careful selection of newspapers, together with many periodical publi-
cations of learned societies. The Library is unusually rich in files of journals and
proceedings of Experiment Stations and learned societies.

Farm Buildings, Land and Equipment.

College Farm and Barns. — The College Farm consists of 240 acres located west
of the campus. The farm is used for instructional work in field crops, planning of
crop rotation, practical field operation of farm machinery and tractors, and farm
management. The livestock of the farm include about 175 head of i-egistered cattle
representing the Ayrshire, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, Milking Shorthorns, and Here-
ford breeds, a considerable number of registered Chester White swine, a flock of
about 100 Shropshire and Southdown Sheep, 25 Percheron Horses, and a Morgan
stallion. These animals are used chiefly for demonstration and instruction in feeding
and herd management and in livestock judging.

Part II. 13

Non-Degree Courses.

Several short courses in agriculture are offered which do not lead to a degree.
These are for the benefit of those who are not prepared to take the degree course
or who desire only a practical training in modern agriculture methods.

Stockhridge School of Agriculture. — This is a two-year course in practical agri-
culture offering a high type of training to those who wish to enter some special
agricultural enterprise. A separate descriptive catalogue will be sent on request.

Winter School. — A ten weeks practical course in agricultural and horticultural
subjects begins about January first each year. The courses are so arranged that a
student may choose such subjects as will enable him to specialize in the line of work
in which he is most interested. A catalogue is available on request.

HEALTH SERVICE.
The College endeavors to safeguard the health of all students while on the campus
and for this purpose maintains a Department of Student Health staffed by two phy-
sicians and two resident registered nurses, and a group of three Infirmary buildings.

(1) Physical examination by the Health Service is required annually of all under-
graduate students, or more often if indicated. This examination is given to
freshmen during matriculation week. Evidence of a SUCCESSFUL smallpox
vaccination is required.

(2) The Student Health physicians have offices in the Physical Education Building
and in the Out- Patient Infirmary Building, where they may be consulted during
college hours.

{3) The Infirmary consists of 3 buildings, one for bed patients, one for contagious

cases, and one for out-patient cases, where the out-patient clinic is conducted

daily by one of the Student Health physicians.
C4) The students are urged to consult the resident physicians at the first sign of

physical disorder, or even for minor accidents. Many severe illnesses and much

lost time can be avoided by early or preventive treatment.
(5) No charge is made to Infirmary bed patients for the first seven days in the

school year ; time in excess of seven days will be charged at the rate of $2 per

day. A nominal charge may be made to out-patients for miscellaneous treatments.
(6) In addition to the fee charged as specified in paragraph 5, the following additional

expenses will be charged to the patient.

(a) Nurses. — If a special nurse is required for the proper care of an individual
the services and board of this nurse will be paid by the patient. Such a
nurse will be under the general supervision of the resident nurse.

(b) Professional Service. — If a student requires continuous medical attention
by a physician, he may be required to select a town physician and become
responsible for fees charged by that physician.

(d) Laundry. — Expenses for personal laundry incurred by students while in
the Infirmary will be charged to the individual student.

STUDENT EXPENSES.
Student college expenses vary from approximately $5(X) per year to $600 for the
normally economical student. First year expenses are usually greater than those of
the other three years and there is less opportunity in this year to earn. It is, there-
fore, recommended to the entering student that he have available at least $500 with
which to meet the expenses of the first year. Women students are recommended to
plan on a minimum expense of $550.

Graduation Requirements.

No student will be graduated unless all bills due the College are paid on or before
the Wednesday preceding the graduation exercise. If paid after that date and other-
wise eligible he may graduate the following year.

Diplomas and letters of honorable dismissal will be withheld from all students who
have not paid bills due the College or legitimate bills for room rent and board due
fraternities or private individuals.

Advance Payment.
Prospective new students will be expected to make an advance payment of $15 to
the Treasurer of the College as soon as they are notified by the Dean that they are
accepted for admission. This will be considered as first payment on registration fees
which will be due at time of matriculation in September and will be returned to the
student if he advises the College before August 20 that he will not present himself
for admission. If the student fails to notify the College of withdrawal before that
date this preliminary payment will be forfeited and will be considered payment for
the expenses involved in preliminary admission arrangements.

Refunds.
A student who leaves the College for any reason before a semester is half completed
will have refunded to him one-half the fees paid for that semester, but one who leaves
after a semester is half over will be allowed no rebate of fees and a refund only of
unused board charges.

College Fees.

All students are required to pay the College fees at the Treasurer's Office and file
their registration cards in the Dean's Office within one week after the opening of
College. Fee for late registration, $1.00.

Tuition. — Residents of Massachusetts are charged a tuition fee of $100 per year,
payable in advance in two instalments of $50 each on the first day of each semester.
For those who are not residents of Massachusetts, the tuition fee is $220 per year.
Students entering from Massachusetts are required to file with the Treasurer a state-
ment signed by town or city clerk, stating that the applicant's father or legal guardian

* This tax is for the support of student activities and entitles each student to participate ia
th« Tarious enterprises represented.

Part II. 15

is a legal resident of Massachusetts, unless applicant himself is of legal age, in which
case a similar statement must be filed indicating his own legal residence. Where the
guardian is certifying to this statement, it will be necessary for him to furnish a copy
of his appointment by the court.

Military Uniform. — All students taking military drill are required to make a
deposit of $20 for the uniform. A rebate of this amount is made when the uniform
is returned. Boots are also furnished at approximately $4.00 per pair.

Board. — All freshman students and all residents of college dormitories are re-
quired to board at the College Dining Hall. However, upper-class men, residents of
dormitories, may board off-campus in approved dining halls which are under faculty
supervision. Service is on a cafeteria basis and students pay in advance at the rate
of approximately $6.00 per week, as follows :

At the opening of college . . . . . $60.50

At December 4 . 36.45

At the beginning of second semester 40.75

Upon return from spring recess 56.55

For absences of one week or more rebates at the rate of $5.50 per week may be
granted provided the absence is authorized by the Dean and the rebate approved by
the Treasurer. No rebates will be allowed for absences of less than one week.
1 If a student's home is nearby and for this or any similar reason he is regularly
absent from the campus over week ends, upon request from his parent or guardian,
approved by the Dean of the College, he may board in the College Dining Hall for a
five-day week (fifteen consecutive meals beginning with Monday breakfast) at the
rate of 80 percent of that paid for a seven day week.

Excuses from compliance with these regulations concerning board shall be made
only by the Treasurer of the College, who may require a recommendation in individual
cases from the Student Health Officer, if the excuse is requested for health reasons,
or from the Dean, if the reason has to do with the student's academic opportunities.

Rooms.

It is the policy of the Board of Trustees that freshman men students and all women
students in the four-year course shall be housed in campus dormitories in so far as
accommodations are available.

Since sufficient dormitory accommodations for all of these students are not avail-
able at the present time, the following procedure will be followed so that those which
are available will be used to capacity and that assignments will be made with justice
to all concerned.

1. Dormitories will not be opened until the Saturday preceding the opening of
College.

2. Each occupant of a college room is held responsible for all damage done to
his or her room.

3. All student property must be removed from rooms immediately after the final
examinations in June and not later than noon of the Friday of Commencement week.
Such property not removed by the owner will be removed by the College and stored
at the owner's expense.

Women Students.

a. All freshman girls will be assigned rooms in campus dormitories. The Adviser
of Women may exaise any at her discretion for the reasons that they wish to live
at home or that they have opportunity to earn board and room in a private
residence.

b. All sophomore girls will live in campus dormitories in so far as accommodations
are available unless excused by the Adviser of Women.

c. Upper-class girls may live in campus dormitories if accommodations are available

and their wishes will take precedence over the sophomore requirement. Their
selection of rooms will be by lot under the supervision of the Adviser of Women.

16 P.D. 31

of Women will assign these vacated rooms to sophomore girls in accordance
with this sequence and any student thus assigned to a dormitory room must take
up residence there within two weeks after receipt of notice.

e. It is expected that not more than one sophomore girl from any one sorority will
be assigned dormitory room in any single year under the provisions of '"d."

f. Dormitory accommodations are available for about 120 women students in the
Abigail Adams House and Draper Hall. These rooms are furnished except for
necessary bedding or linen and are cared for by the students occupying them.
A list of approved off-campus rooms is kept by the Adviser of Women.

Men Students.

a. Assignment of rooms for men students is in charge of the Assistant Dean.

b. Upper-class men usually obtain rooms in fraternity houses or in private homes
near the campus. Rent usually ranges from $2.50 to $4.00 per week, depending
upon location and nature of the room. Such rooms are usually furnished.

Students desiring aid in obtaining off-campus rooms should write to the Assis-
tant to the Dean. The College does not secure these rooms for students but does
keep a desirable list for student aid.

c. All freshman men students, unless granted permission to commute, will be re-
quired to room in college dormitories.

d. Dormitory accommodations are available at North College and Thatcher Hall.
The rooms are furnished except for necessary bedding and linen. They are cared
for by the students who occupy them.

The general supervision of housing of students is in charge of the Faculty Com-
mittee on Housing.

STUDENT AID.

Students desiring any form of finaneial aid from the college — scholarship, employ-
ment, or loan — are required to file application with the Student Aid Committee not
later than June 10 of each year. Incoming freshmen are allowed an extension of time.

These application forms are used to determine the comparative need of the appli-
cants and are passed on by the Student Aid Committee. No student is eligible for
any kind of financial assistance from the College unless he or she has filed the re-
quired forms and has been certified as deserving by the Student Aid Committee.
Application forms may be secured at the Placement Service Office, South College.

For scholarships a special form is required in addition to the usual application.
This blank can be obtained at the Placement Office.

For loans a special loan form is required in addition to the usual application. This
blank can be obtained at the Treasurer's Office after application has been approved
by the Student Aid Committee.

In order to give assistance to as many needy students as possible, the Student Aid
Committee has limited the amount of financial aid to any one student to the equivalent
of board at the college dining hall, or approximately $220.

Student Employment.

The College affords opportunity for part-time employment for a limited number
of needy students. The number of applicants usually far exceeds the number of posi-
tions open so that no guarantee can be made that a student will find employment
through the College. The College Placement Service renders every possible assistance
to deserving students in search of employment. Besides such opportunities on the
campus as waiters and kitchen helpers at the dining hall, janitors for buildings, assis-
tants on the farm and in college laboratories, there are some opportunities in private
homes and businesses in the town.

Prospective students are cautioned not to depend too much upon their earning ca-
pacity in the first year. Upperclassmen usually have most of the available jobs before
the freshmen get acclimated. Students who are planning to enter college for the first
time, therefore, are advised that they should have at least $500 available with which
to meet the expenses of the first year. Some students stay out of school for a year
after graduating from high school in order to work and save this amount.

Part II. ■ 17

N.Y.A. Student Employment Projects.

The College has been granted student employment funds by the Federal Govern-
ment since the adoption of the program. The policy of the Federal Administration
cannot be predicted, but it is safe to assume that as long as student relief projects
are in effect this College will be a participant. The type of work to which students
are assigned under N.Y.A. projects consists of the following: Clerical and office,
library and museum, laboratory and research assistance, reading and grading papers
and miscellaneous types.

In addition to the college projects, community projects are organized consisting
of the following types of work : Education, recreation, health and welfare and other
miscellaneous types

The rate of pay is 30 cents per hour. The positions are based on the average earn-
ing capacity of $15.00 per month. During the past college year twelve percent of our
students were assigned to positions under this project.

Special consideration is given to new students under these projects for, while the
general college policy does not encourage the new student to seek employment, one
of the conditions under which the College participates in N.Y.A. projects is that new
students receive their pro rata share

SCH0LAR.SHIPS.

Scholarships are awarded only to needy students of high character, whose habits
of life are economical and who have maintained an average of at least 70% in their
college course during the preceding year. Scholarships from the Crane and Ward
Funds may be granted to applicants for admission to the College provided they are
candidates for a degree, are in need of financial assistance and are able to meet the
entrance requirements in full. Complete information relative to the student's need for
financial aid must be presented before any application can be acted upon. Scholar-
ships are paid in installments at the beginning of each semester in the form of a
credit on the student's bill. A scholarship may be discontinued at the close of any
semester if the scholastic record of the recipient is unsatisfactory.

The Honor Council. — The Honor System prevails at this College. The foreword
of the Honor System reads as follows : "We, the students of Massachusetts State
College, believe that the goal of education is character. The man of character deals
fairly with himself, and with others, and would rather suffer failure than stoop to
fraud. The Honor System stands for this attitude in all relations of the students with
the Faculty. In expression of our belief we pledge ourselves to the support of the
constitution of the Honor System." Matters pertaining to the Honor System are in
direct charge of the Student Honor Council, consisting of members elected from the
four classes.

The Women's Student Council. — All appropriate matters pertaining to the con-
duct of women students are under the control of this council. It is composed of mem-
bers selected by all the women students from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes.

major courses of study. These clubs stimulate the students' professional interest in
their chosen subject-matter fields and afford opportunity for discussion of technical
subjects of mutual interest.

Religious Organizations.
Four religious organizations are active on the Campus : The Christian Federation,
the Menorah Club (for Jewish students), the Newman Club (for Catholic students),
and the Stockbridge Y (for two-year students). These four organizations unite in
j forming a Student Religious Council which strives both to further amity among the
religious faiths and to promote religious activities and thinking in the student body.
These various religious organizations are sponsored by a Faculty Committee on Re-
Hgious Work and are under the supervision of the Director of Religious Activities.
The College conducts a vesper service each Sunday at five o'clock during the school
year at which some of the great religious leaders of our country speak.

The Social Union.
The Social Union was established in 1907. All students become members of the
I Union in consideration of a small part of the Student Activities Fee. In the fall and
winter months the Union gives a series of entertainments.

STANDARDS OF DEPORTMENT.

The customary high standard of college men and women in honor, self-respect and
consideration for the rights of others constitutes the standards of student deportment.

The privileges of the College may be wthdrawn from any student at any time,,
if such action is deemed advisable.

It should be understood that the College, acting through its President or any ad-
ministrative officer designated by him, distinctly reserves the right, not only to sus-
pend or dismiss students, but also to name conditions under which students may remain
in the institution. For example, if a student is not doing creditable work he may
no^ only be disciplined but he may also be required to meet certain prescribed con-
ditions in respect to his studies, even though under the foregoing rules his status as

22 P.D. 31

a student be not affected. The same provision applies equally to the matter of absences
("cuts"). According to the rules, juniors and seniors are allowed a certain percen-
tage of absences from class and other exercises. This permission, which implies a
privilege and not a right, may be withdrawn at any time for any cause.

Similarly, also, it applies to participation in student activities. Though this will
ordinarily be governed by the rules as already laid down, yet if, in the judgment of
the college authorities, a student is neglecting his work on account of these activities,
the privilege of participating in them may be withdrawn for such time as is considered
necessary. Moreover, it may be withdrawn as a punishment for misconduct. Pros-
pective students or their parents may, upon application, obtain a copy of the faculty
rules governing student relations to the College.

FRESHMAN REGISTRATION.
All members of the incoming freshman class are required to be in residence on the
campus for the period of September 16 to September 21, 1940, inclusive. This period
is known as Freshman Week. During this week will be given the several psychological
examinations and tests required of freshmen. In addition, physical examinations will
be given to the men students. Such matters as pertain to schedule and section assign-
ments will be taken care of at the same time. Lectures on student activities, college
customs, and college curriculum will be given also. The object of this week is to
introduce the new student into the College, so that only the minimum amount of time
will be lost when the actual studies begin."

Admission to Collegiate Courses

A. APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION.
Correspondence concerning admission should be addressed to the Dean's office.

Every applicant for admission to the College must be at least sixteen years old,
and must present to the Dean proper testimonials of character, which, whenever pos-
sible, should come from the principal of the school at which the applicant has prepared
for college. All applications for admission should be received at the Dean's office on
or before June 1 of the year in which the candidate expects to enroll. Blanks for
such application may be obtained by addressing the Dean of the college. All entrance
credentials must be in the hands of the Dean before the applicant can matriculate.

B. MODES OF ADMISSION.

Students are admitted to the freshman class either upon certificate or upon examina-
tion. No diploma from a secondary school will be accepted.

Certificates. — Massachusetts State College is affiliated with the New England
College Entrance Certificate Board. Therefore certificates of admission will be ac-
cepted from any Massachusetts school listed as class "A" by the State Department
of Education, but not included in the approved list of the New England College En-
trance Certificate Board. Principals of schools in New England who desire the
certificate privilege should address the secretary of the Board, Dean W. L. Machmer,
Massachusetts State College, Amherst, Mass. Certificates from schools outside of
New England may be received if those schools are on the approved list of the
leading colleges of the section in which the school in question is located.

The credentials of the Board of Regents of the State of New York are accepted
as satisfying the entrance requirements of this college when offered subject for sub-
ject, provided the grades are satisfactory.

Certificates in order to be accepted must present in the prescribed and restrictive
elective groups at least three of the necessary fourteen and one-half units. It is to
be understood, however, that responsibility for certification in either elementary
French, elementary German, English 1 or English 2, Latin A, Greek A or Algebra,
must be assumed by one school, if the candidate has received his preparation in any
one subject named above in more than one school. Subjects lacking on certificate
must be made up at the time of the examinations for admission. Conditions to the
amounL of two units will be allowed.

BlaaU forms for certification — sent to principals or school superintendents only —
may be obtained on application to the Dean of the College.

Special Certificate Arrangement for Students from Agricultural Schools. —
Superior graduates of Vocational Schools of Agriculture in Massachusetts and Voca-
tional Agricultural Departments in Massachusetts High Schools may be accepted for
the Degree of Vocational Agriculture provided : —

(a) They are unqualifiedly recommended by the Vocational Division of the De-
partment of Education as bona fide Vocational Graduates with superior rank ; and

(b) that they can present at least 14^ units of certified entrance, approved as to
quality and quantity by the State Department of Vocational Education.

Admission by Four Comprehensive Examinations. — By this plan a candidate's
qualifications for admission will be based upon the following considerations :

(a) School Record: A candidate must present to the Committee on Entrance a
complete transcript of his secondary school course giving the subjects and the grades
for the four years previous to college entrance, and a confidential estimate of character,
personality, and promise of ability to do college work from the school principal. This
should be sent to the Dean not later than May 1. The Committee must give its
permission before the applicant may take the examinations.

24 P.D. 31

(b) The following comprehensive examinations must be taken unless for satisfac-
tory reasons the Committee allows a substitution for 3 : —

1. English three units.

2. Mathematics, either Mathematics Beta or Mathematics A.

3. A foreign language, selected by the applicant . two units.

4. A fourth subject designated by the applicant and approved by

the Committee on Admissions.

These must be the College Entrance Examination Board Plan B examinations
given in June. A candidate under this plan will be admitted without condition or
refused admission. In the event that a substitution is allowed for foreign language
the student must take at least one year of modern language in college without receiv-
ing college credit therefor.

C. EXAMINATIONS.
Entrance examinations for admission to Massachusetts State College will be held
at the following centers. —

In June Amherst, Stockbridge Hall, room 114.

G. STATEMENT OF PREPARATION REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION.

Agriculture.
Entrance credit in agriculture is granted on the following basis : —

I. Massachusetts State College accepts a maximum of four units in agriculture
(except as described on page 23) from any secondary or county agricultural high
fchool offering work in that subject, provided evidence of such work having been
done is submitted on a principal's statement, as is indicated in the "free margin" group.

II. In high schools organiring agricultural club work under the supervision and
rules of the junior extension service of the College, one credit is granted for eack
full year of work performed under the following plan: —

Work of the Winter Term. — (a) The study of textbooks iuch as are suitabl*
for secondary school instruction in agriculture.

Part II. 27

(b) Course of study: A general outline of suggested topics for study.

(c) Visits by a representative of Massachusetts State College for observation,
counsel and advice in regard to kind and amount of work being done in agriculture.

(d) Formation of an agricultural club with officers from among its own members,
meeting once a month under local supervision of someone authorized to act for the
school authorities.

Work of the Spring Term. — Same in general form as winter term.

Work of Summer Term. — An approved project conforming to the rules of some
one or more of the agricultural clubs of the Junior Extension Service of Massachu-
setts State College.

Work of the Fall Term. — (a) An exhibit of work.

{b) Reports and story of achievement submitted to the Junior Extension Service
of the college.

Biology.
The entrance examination in biology will cover the work outlined by the College
Entrance Examination Board. This work should extend through one full year and
include both laboratory and textbook study. The requirements are met by Hunter's
Civic Biology, Peabody & Hunt's Biology and Human Welfare and similar texts.

Botany.
For one unit of credit in botany, the work outlined in the statement of requirements
issued by the College Entrance Examination Board, or its equivalent, will be ac-
cepted. This work should occupy one school year and include laboratory and supple-
mentary textbook study. For one-half unit of credit, work that covers the same ground
but occupies half the time required for a full unit of credit will be accepted. These
requirements are met by such texts as Stevens' Introduction to Botany and Bergen
& Davis' Principles of Botany. A notebook, containing neat, accurate drawings and
descriptive records forms part of the requirement for either the half-unit or the one-
unit credit. The careful preparation of an herbarium is recommended to all prospec-
tive students of this College, although the herbarium is not required.

Chemistry.
The entrance examination in chemistry will cover the work outlined by the College
Entrance Examination Board as preparatory for college entrance. In general, this
consists of a year of high school chemistry from any standard textbook, with labora-
tory work on the properties of the common elements and their simpler compounds.
No particular work is prescribed. The keeping of a notebook is required.

Mathematics.

(o) Required. — Algebra : The four fundamental operations for rational algebraic
expressions ; factoring, determination of highest common factor and lowest common
multiple by factoring ; fractions, including complex fractions ; ratio and proportion ;
linear equations, both numerical and literal, containing one or more unknown quan-
tities ; problems depending on linear equations ; radicals, including the extraction of
the square root of polynomials and numbers ; exponents, including the fractional and
negative ; quadratic equations, both numerical and literal ; simple cases of equations
with one or more unknown quantities that can be solved by the methods of linear or
quadratic equations ; problems depending upon quadratic equations ; the binomial
theorem for positive integral exponents, the formulas for the nth term and the sum
of the terms of arithmetic and geometric progressions, with applications.

Plane Geometry : The usual theorems and constructions of good textbooks, includ-
ing the general properties of plane rectilinear figures ; the circle and the measurement
of angles ; similar polygons ; areas, regular polygons and the measurement of the
circle; the solution of numerous original exercises, including loci problems, applica-
tions to the mensuration of lines and plane surfaces.

(6) Electives. — Solid Geometry: The usual theorems and constructions of good
textbooks, including the relations of planes and lines in space; the properties and

28 P.D. 31

raeasureraent of prisms, pjTamids, cylinders and cones ; the sphere and spherical tri-
angle ; the solution of numerous original exercises, including loci problems ; applica-
tions to the mensuration of surfaces and solids.

Plane Trigonometry : A knowledge of the definitions and regulations of trigono-
metric functions and of circular measurements and angles ; proofs of the principal
formulas and the application of these formulas to the transformation of the trigono-
metric functions ; solution of trigonometric equations, the theory and use of logar-
ithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles. Students should bring logar-
ithm tables to the examination.

Physics.
To satisfy the entrance requirements in physics, the equivalent of at least one unit
of work is required. This work must consist of both classroom work and laboratory-
practice. The work covered in the classroom should be equal to that outlined in Hall
& Bergen's Textbook of Physics or Millikan & Gale ; the laboratory work should
represent at least thirty-five experiments involving careful measurements, with ac-
curate recording of each in laboratory notebook.

Physiology.
Hough & Sedgwick's The Human Mechanism; Martin's The Hmiwn Body; Briefer
Course.

Zoology, Physical Geography, Geology.

The following suggestions are made concerning preparation for admission in the
subjects named above: —

For physiography, Davis' Elementary Physical Geography ; Gilbert & Brigham's
Introduction to Physical Geogi'aphy. For zoology, textbooks entitled Animals or
Animal Studies, by Jordan, Kellogg and Heath ; Linville & Kelley's A Textbook in
Gen-eral Zoology. For geology, A. P. Brigham's A Textbook of Geology or Tar's
Elementary Geology.

History.

The required unit must be offered in either ancient history, medieval and modern
history, English history, or United States history and civics. Either one, two or
three elective units in any of the historical subjects here named may be offered, pro-
vided that no unit be offered in the same subject in which the required unit has been
offered.

Preparation in history will be satisfactory if made in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the committee of seven of the American Historical Association, as out-
lined by the College Entrance Examination Board. The examinations will require
comparisons and the use of judgment by the candidate rather than the mere use of
memory, and it will presuppose the use of good textbooks, collateral reading and
practice in written work. Geographical knowledge may be tested by requiring the
location of places and movements on outline maps.

To indicate in a general way the character of the textbook work expected, the
texts of the following authors are suggested : Botsford, Morey or Myers, in ancient
history (to 814 A.D.) ; Montgomery. Earned or Cheyney, in English history; Fiske,
together with Muzzey and West, in United States history and civics.

English.
The study of English in school has two objectives : first, the ability to use the
English language, in both speech and writing, clearly, correctly and effectively ; and,
second, the ability to read English literature with understanding and appreciation.

(1) Speech and Writing (Two Units). — The first objective makes necessary a
rigorous and reiterated instruction in grammar and composition, with special em-
phasis upon spelling, sentence structure, punctuation and paragraph development.

(2) Reading (One Unit). — The second objective is that of the progressive, four-
year course in literature. The student should be trained to read aloud, to memorize
significant passages, to associate the books with their historic background and to have

Part II. - 29

well ill hand both content and structure. He should be prepared to answer general
questions upon poetry, the essay, prose fiction, the drama and biography by the repre-
sentation of varied and definite detail from such standard books as those recommended
by the College Entrance Examination Board in its current bulletin. However ac-
curate in subject matter, no paper will be considered satisfactory if seriously defective
in punctuation, spelling or other essentials of good usage.

The candidate may effect admission in English : by passing the College Entrance
Examination Board's comprehensive examination (3 units), by certification, from an
accredited school, in English 1 (2 units) and English 2 (1 unit) ; or by passing this
College's examinations in these subjects in June or in September. Regardless of his
method of admission, however, he will be gravely handicapped in his freshman English
courses if inadequately prepared in any one of the three phases of study indicated in
this statement.

Foreign Languages.
(French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek.)

Two, three, or four* units of entrance credit in each of the above foreign languages
may be presented by certificate or by written examination. Not less than two units
(first two years) will be accepted in any one language.

No examination for a third or a fourth unit of credit in any language will be given
unless the candidate has previously presented by certificate or by written examina-
tion the two or three preceding units respectively in that language.

The preparation expected for each of the above units is that stated in the Defini-
tion of Requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board.

* A maximum of three units may be offered in Greek. The College does not offer an entrance
examination in Greek.

30 P.D. 31

JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS.
The work of the junior and senior years is, with certain restrictions, elective under
the guidance of a special adviser, who is a member of the advisory committee of the
major group which the student selects during his freshman year as his field for pro-
fessional training. The aim of the last two years is to give to each student as high
a degree of proficiency in some one branch of learning as is possible without sacrific-
ing the breadth of knowledge and training which should characterize a well-roiuided
college course. In order to insure this result, each student is required to complete,

32 P.D. 31

major group and is advised to take at least three courses in other groups. The fol-
lowing fields of specialization are available :

I. Division of Agriculture : Agricultural Economics and Farm Management ;
Agronomy ; Animal Husbandry ; Dairy Industry ; Poultry Husbandry.
n. Engineering.

HI. Division of Home Economics : Home Economics.

IV. Division of Horticulture : Floriculture ; Forestry and Wildlife Manage-
ment; Landscape Architecture; Horticultural Manufactures; Olericul-
ture ; Pomology ; Recreational Planning.*
V. Division of Physical and Biological Sciences : Bacteriology and Physiology ;
Botany; Chemistry; Entomology and Zoology; Geology and Mineralogy;
Mathematics ; Physics.
VI. Division of Physical Education : Physical Education for Men.
VII. Division of Liberal Arts : Economics ; Education and Psychology ; History
and Sociology; Languages and Literature.

In the courses in chemistry, emphasis is laid both on educational and vocational
value. The courses in the freshman year deal with fundamental principles and give
the student an understanding of the subject as will enable him to appreciate the re-
lation of chemistry to the other sciences and to agriculture and industry. The more
advanced courses, including quantitative analysis, organic, physiological, and physical
chemistry, are for those who intend to take up graduate study, to become teachers
and workers in the allied sciences, or who desire to follow chemistry as a vocation.
Those completing the undergraduate courses are fitted for positions in the agricultural
industries — fertilizer, feed, and insectide manufacture — as well as in other lines of
industry, and in the state experiment stations, federal departments, commercial lab-
oratories, and in high school teaching. Postgraduate students are prepared for posi-
tions as teachers in colleges, and for more advanced positions in industry and in the
experiment stations.

Entomology.

Courses in entomology serve two purposes : ( 1 ) The introductory courses give
students a general knowledge of insects, particularly in their relations to man, his
crops, his domestic animals, and his health. (2) More advanced courses are intended
to train students desiring to specialize in entomology to become United States, State,
or experiment station entomologists, teachers, foresters, tree wardens, entomologists,
or to occupy other positions where an expert knowledge of insects is called for.

The beekeeping courses are offered with the following aims: (1) To meet the
increase in vocational opportunities for the production of bees or honey as a business.
(2) To study the beekeeping needs of fruit and truck-crop industries and the part
'that bees play in the pollination of flowers. (3) To acquaint the student with a
recreational field which can be made profitable.

cEour-year male students are required to take this course. Under act of Congress,
June 3, 1916, as amended by act of Congress, September 8, 1916, there was established
at this college in April, 1917, an infantry unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Following the World War and an act of Congress, July 19, 1918, the Reserve Officers'
Training Corps has been in operation under the regulation of the War Department,
administered by the president of the college and the professor of military science and
tactics. Beginning with the fall term, 1920-21, the infantry unit of the Reserve Offi-
cers' Training Corps was converted into a cavalry unit.

The primary object of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to provide systematic
military training at civil educational institutions, for the ultimate purpose of qualify-
ing selected students of such institutions as reserve officers in the military forces of
the United States. It is intended to attain this object during the time the students
are pursuing their general or professional studies, with the least practicable interfer-
ence with their civil careers, by employing methods designed to fit men physically,
mentally, and morally for pursuits of peace as well as war.

The course for cavalry units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps includes
theoretical and practical instruction in all phases of cavalry work, so distributed over
the four-year college course as to qualify students at the end of the freshman year
as privates of cavalry, at the end of the sophomore year as non-commissioned officers
of cavalry, and upon graduation as reserve officers. Forty per cent of the course is
classroom work. All practical instruction is out of doors.

All male candidates for a degree in the four-year course must take at least three
hours a week of military training for two years. Students who are approved by the
president and the professor of military science and tactics may take the advanced
course in their junior and senior years if they so elect. The advanced course consists
of at least five hours per week and a summer camp of about six weeks during the
summer vacation between the junior and senior years. Students taking this course
are paid by the Federal Government at a rate to be fixed by the Secretary of War,
not to exceed the value of the army ration. The rate now is twenty-five cents per
diem amounting for the two years to $146.25 to which should be added pay at camp
of $29.40 making a cash value of $175.65. Advanced students are required to equip
themselves with riding boots but remainder of uniform is furnished by the govern-
ment and becomes the property of the student upon graduation. Students graduating
in the advanced course are eligible for commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps,
but are not required to accept such commissions if offered.

Uniforms for freshmen and sophomores are supplied by the government without
cost except for boots. A deposit of $20 is required to insure return of uniform articles.
In addition, the student is required to purchase one pair of boots through the Military
Department at a cost of about $4.00. The uniforms for the juniors and seniors (ad-
vanced course) are similar to U. S. army officers' uniforms tailor-made for the
individual student. A deposit of thirty-five dollars for this uniform is required at
the beginning of the junior year.

The Graduate School

F. J. SiEVERS, Director.

Graduate courses leading to advanced degrees have been available at the College
practically since its establishment. At the beginning these courses leading to the
degrees of master of science and doctor of philosophy -wtvt confined almost entirely
to the offerings in the field of science. Since then the work has expanded until now
a major toward either degree may be selected in any of the following subjects.

Agricultural Economics and Economics

Farm Management Entomology

Agronomy Food Technology

Bacteriology Pomology

Botany Poultry Science
Chemistry

The following departments offer major work toward a master of science degree
only:

Animal Husbandry Home Economics

Dairy Industry Horticultural Manufactures

Education Olericulture

Floriculture Psychology

Sociology

The degree of master of landscape architecture is granted to students completing
the two years' graduate work offered by the department of landscape architecture;

While students taking the equivalent of one year's graduate work in that major may
be granted the degree of bachelor of landscape architecture.

Several other departments in the institution, while not regularly organized for
major work in the Graduate School, do, nevertheless, offer courses which may be
selected for minor credit. These are :

English Philosophy

Forestry Physical Education

French Physics

Geology Physiology

German Veterinary Science

History Zoology
Mathematics

The general requirements of the Graduate School regarding entrance, residence,
credits, tuition, fees, etc., together with specific information concerning details of
interest to prospective students are set down in a separate bulletin which may be
obtained upon request from the Director's Office.

The Summer School

(Omitted 1940)

For thirty years the College has conducted a summer session, starting at first
with a four-weeks' program consisting largely of teacher training and adult courses
in nature study, vegetable gardening, fruit growing, poultry raising, and ornamental
gardening, all organized without reference to credits or degree. Gradually the em-
phasis on such work changed and the need for more professional courses of college
grade has resulted since 1924 in a six-weeks' session offering a well-balanced program
of credit courses. These are arranged to assist (1) superintendents, principals, and
teachers connected with high or elementary schools who desire advanced instruction
either with or without relation to academic credits; (2) classroom teachers who
seek to prepare themselves more effectively in their special studies; (3) college
undergraduates who wish to satisfy deficiencies or secure courses not otherwise avail-
able ; and ( 4) any adult person who finds courses of special interest and aid for
leisure or livelihood.

Fees and living expenses are very moderate so that many people arrange their
vacation periods to include the summer session. A carefully planned program of
entertainment including instruction in such sports as tennis, badminton, and archery,
with hiking and picnics, swimming and golf, provides recreation for all.

Admission.
There are no formal examinations for admission to the Summer School. Under-
graduate students are admitted to such courses as their preparation justifies. Admis-
sion to the Graduate School will be granted to graduates of Massachusetts State
College and to graduates of other institutions having substantially equivalent require-
ments for the bachelor's degree.

The following courses were offered in the 1939 session and illustrate the type of
program at present available.

Noti'-Degree Courses of Instruction

THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE.

General Information.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture was organized in 1918, under the name of
"The Two Year Course in Practical Agriculture," for the purpose of meeting the
demand for a short course in agriculture which might be taken by students who could
not satisfy college entrance requirements or who, for one reason or another, were
unable to take the college course. In 1928 the School was given its present name in
honor of Levi Stockbridge, first professor of agriculture in the College and its fifth
president.

This course trains men and women for the practice of farming or associated agri-
cultural industries. Graduation from the course does not fulfill the requirements for
entrance into the degree course nor are credits earned during the course transferable
regularly toward credit for a degree.

As the course is now organized, students may specialize in any one of nine voca-
tions : animal husbandry, dairy manufactures, floriculture, ornamental horticulture,
fruit growing, poultry husbandry, vegetable gardening, wildlife management, or stew-
arding for hotels and restaurants training. Specialization in a vocation does not
prevent students from securing a general working knowledge of other subjects. The
Stockbridge School will appeal not only to young men and women, but also to men
and women of mature years and practical experience who wish to know more about
the business of farming or related industries. The School is not intended for students
enrolled in a high school ; such students should complete their high school course
before seeking admission.

Since its organization at the request of the Massachusetts Legislature, the school
has registered over 2500 students, graduated twenty classes numbering more than
1600 members, and enrolled for the last school year (1938-39) 311 young men and
women.

The largest number of students come from Massachusetts, but all the New England
States are usually represented in the student body.

The value of this kind of concentrated, technical schooling, aiming directly toward
preparation for a definite field of work, is amply demonstrated by the useful careers
of our graduates.

Entrance Requirements.

Applicants for admission must be at least 17 years old and must have completed
at lea'^t an elementary school course or its equivalent. Before being enrolled for the
work of the second year, students must have completed six months' practical training
approved by the Director of Placement.

Students who are already enrolled in high schools and who wish to enter the School
before the completion of the high school course should bring a statement, either from
the principal of the high school or from the parent or guardian, requesting enrollment.

Four courses now have limited enrollments and some form of selective admission.
These are: Wildlife, Stewarding, Animal Husbandry, and Dairy Alanufactures.

Instruction.
The instruction is given by the regular faculty by means of classroom teaching,
laboratory exercises, and practical work. The work of the classroom is supplemented
by demonstration work in the laboratory, dairy, greenhouse, orchards and stables.
The course is designed to offer plain, p/actical, direct information, and to establish
the underlying reasons for, as well as methods employed in, the various operations.

Credit and Diploma
In order to obtain a diploma, the student must complete satisfactorily all the work
required in the vocational course which he has selected. This course consists of six
months of class and laboratory work from October to April followed by six months
of practical experience on a job in line with the major course selected. The second
year continues from October to June.

98 P.D. 31

No student failing to meet the requirements of his six months' summer training
can be enrolled for the second year since the placement training is an absolutely neces-
sary prerequisite.

Graduates of county schools of agriculture or of agricultural departments of high
schools in the state may complete the course for a diploma in one year in certain
courses, if they are recommended by the director of the county school, or by the
instructor in charge of the department of agriculture in the high school.

Special Catalogue.

application blank, write or apply to Director Roland H. Verbeck, Massachusetts State
College, Amherst, Mass.

THE WINTER SCHOOL

Short Courses are based on the idea that the motive which inspires study is the
most significant factor in study itself, and that this motive rises when the student
himself realizes he faces a 'problem that calls for a solution. Therefore, there is no
age limit. Enrolled in short courses are found the young and the old, the experienced
and the inexperienced, the theoretical and the practical. In this grouping there is a
value, since students learn from each other as well as from the instructors. Practically
all Short Course students intend to make a direct application of the knowledge gained.
Hence the aim of Short Course work is to offer the largest amount of information
and training in agricultural and horticultural lines in the shortest possible time. Dur-
ing the past thirty years Short Courses have served hundreds of students in this
Commonwealth, and the demand for these courses in recent years has steadily con-
tinued.

The Winter School has been established for a number of years at the College, and
has proved to be very popular.

Instruction in the following courses will be offered this year :

(1) Nine Weeks' Course in Poultry Raising. November 13 to January 26.

(2) Ten Weeks' Course for Greenkeepers. January 2 to March 11.

(3) Ten Weeks' Advanced Course for Greenkeepers. January 2 to March 11.

(4) Two Weeks' Course in Dairy Bacteriology. January 2 to January 13.

(5) One Week Course in Milk and Cream Testing; Analyzing and Inspecting
Milk Products. January 15 to January 20.

(6) One Week Course in Milk Plant Operation and Manufacture of Surplus
Milk Products. January 22 to January 27.

(7) One Week Course in Ice Cream ; Testing and Analyzing Ingredients Used
in Ice Cream Making, the Standardizing of Mixes, and Freezing. January
29 to February 3.

(8) One Week Course in Ice Cream Making for Experienced Men. February
5 to February 10.

(9) Five-day Course for Tree Wardens and Town Foresters. March 25 to
March 30.

During the one week the student devotes all of his time to the work of the special
course in which he has enrolled. The instruction lasts throughout the day from 8 to 5.
These courses meet a very definite need in the State for those who wish instruction,
but who cannot attend for a longer period of time and who do not wish to take other
subjects.

Gifts and Bequests

For the information of those who may wish to make a gift or a bequest to this
college, the following suggestion is made as to a suitable form which may be used.

There are a number of worth-while activities of the College which are handicapped
by lack of funds and for which small endowments would make possible a greater
measure of service to our students and to the Commonwealth. The religious work
on the Campus is an example. This is now carried on in a very limited way by cur-
rent private contributions. Further information concerning this and other activities
in similar need will be gladly furnished by the President.

Suggested Form

"I give and beqeuath to the Trustees of Massachusetts State College, at Amherst,
Massachusetts, the sum of dollars."

( 1 ) ( Unrestricted )

"To be used for the benefit of Massachusetts State College in such manner as the

Trustees thereof may direct."

or (2) (Permanent Fund: income unrestricted)

"to constitute an endowment fund to be known as the _

Fund, such fund to be kept invested by the Trustees of Massachusetts State College
and the annual income thereof used for the benefit of the College in such manner as
the Trustees thereof may direct."

Massachusetts State College

REPORT OF PRESIDENT TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FOR YEAR ENDING NOVEMBER 30, 1939.

Each year as the time approaches for the preparation of an Annual Report
to the Trustees of the College, a great deal of thought is given to matters to
be presented and to the form of the report. In each of the six previous Annual
Reports which I have presented to the Board, it has seemed desirable to dis-
cuss the character of the College, its objectives and the procedures which have
been developed through the years in the carrying out of objectives. It has
also seemed desirable to discuss, often at some length, the needs for more
satisfactory housing of students and for buildings that would provide better
facilities for the carrying on of the varied activities of the College. Further,
it has seemed very fitting that in each report, there should be a discussion of
the student body and its activities. In other words, in past years the eftort
has been to give something of a picture of a state-supported college in a period
when change in almost every phase of the living of people in this Common-
wealth and the Nation is the only definite and stable idea.

In this, my seventh Annual Report to your body, it is my purpose to touch
upon but a few of our activities, yet with emphasis placed on the more im-
portant needs of the College as they appear to those of us who are responsible
for its administration.

As neither State nor Federal Funds have been available in any amounts for
additions to the physical facilities of the College during the past year, there
has been less activity in the way of construction than in any year since 1932.

The College is proud of the fact that through the sale of logs it was able to
return to the State approximately one-fourth of the Hurricane Repair Funds
allocated for use by the College. These funds made possible the construction
of a new greenhouse to replace the Hillside Greenhouse destroyed by the hur-
ricane and the replacement of certain buildings on the Experimental Poultry
Farm which were blown down. The removal of trees and stumps on the Cam-
pus and the cleaning up of down timber on the Demonstration Forest at Mount
Toby have been continuing activities and are not yet completed. In our desire
to ask only for such funds as seemed at the time to be needed for clearing up
the damage from the hurricane, we found as the work proceeded that we had
not asked for enough money to do the work satisfactorily. However, it did
not seem wise to press for additional funds. The result of our not asking for
sufficient funds is that there are numerous tree stumps still to be removed from
areas on and about the Campus and a portion of the woodlot on jNIount Pleasant,
east of the Infirmary Group, is still to be cleaned up. However, this work can
be completed gradually with the passing of the years.

A WPA Project, which provided for the building of eight additional tennis
courts, was completed during the year with the result that we now have very
satisfactory physical facilities for the carrying on of a rather comprehensive
program of Physical Education for the student body. It is possible that be-
cause of the help of His Excellency, the Governor, we may secure some addi-
tional WPA projects during the present year, to provide for a much needed
additional water supply for farm buildings ; to build a service road across
the Farm and to carry out needed improvements.

It is very much in place in this brief discussion of additions to our physical
plant to refer to the bill which passed the last Legislature and which provides
for the setting up of an Alumni Building Corporation to carry through the
construction of self-liquidating dormitories on the Campus. Construction may
be underway within the next month or so on these much needed dormitories,
and it is probable that the Men's Dormitory will be ready for occupancy in
September of the present year, and that the Women's Dormitory will be ready
by the opening of the second semester of the next college year.

P.D. 31. 5

Even with the construction of these two new dormitories, which will house
approximately 250 men and women, it will still be necessary to house more
than 500 students in the town of Amherst. We are very appreciative of the
fine cooperation given by the town of Amherst through the years in the housing
of students, and with the possibility of some slight growth in the student body
in the two colleges within the Town, there seems no possibility now of ever
having the townspeople feel that they are not being given every possible oppor-
tunity for the housing of students.

Rather than to repeat in this report the explanations in previous reports as
to needed buildings, let me say that significant studies are being made by the
Campus Planning Council, which is a special committee of the Faculty, which
should result during the coming year in a comprehensive building plan for the
College. A special NYA project is underway which will result in the con-
struction of a large scale model of the Campus. This model will present graph-
ically our present lay-out of buildings and will show suggested locations for
much-needed new buildings. The Campus Planning Council is also preparing
a new plat or map of the Campus upon additional boundary and topographical
surveys and showing present buildings and proposed location of new buildings.
The completion of this new map and model will make possible a most thorough
study of new building locations. It is my hope that as a result of these special
studies we may be able to present within the next year a building program
looking forward to meeting the needs of the College over the next twenty-five
years.

Financing of a State College

The Treasurer's report shows the financial situation of the College and em-
phasizes some of the difficulties with which the College has been faced during
the past year as a result of reductions in items in the annual appropriation from
amounts received in previous years. It is in place to emphasize the fact that
the Administration of the College is fully cognizant of the need for economy
and that this need has met with the most sympathetic spirit of cooperation on
the part of the Administrative Group at the College. However, with the ut-
most sympathy for economy in state expenditures, the fact remains that there
is an insufficient appropriation for the year to meet commitments in the cost of
personnel and in services to groups making up the great agricultural industry
of the State.

In referring to the service which this College renders to various groups
making up the great agricultural industry of the Commonwealth, it is impor-
tant that emphasis should be given in this report to the fact that increasing
demands for service, particularly by our so-called Control Services and the
Experiment Station as a whole, and also by the Extension Service and the Col-
lege teaching staff, cannot be met at all satisfactorily without some increase
in funds for the support of these services. The men in the College responsible
for these various forms of service have been giving of their thought and their
time to the point where it is just physically not possible to go much further.
In other words, the time has come where it is fair neither to the people of the
State nor to the Administration of the College to demand more of the present
staff in the carrying on of the various services outside of the instructional pro-
gram on the Campus.

Because of the imperative necessity in many, if not most of the States of the
Union, for reduction of the cost of government, there is every evidence that
other state colleges and universities are having to meet the same financial prob-
lems with which we have been confronted during the past year and more.
Therefore, we know that we are not by any means the only state college, even
in the northeast, which is being pressed constantly for increased service on the
one hand and on the other being forced to curtail expenditures. We shall con-
tinue to do our utmost to make the funds appropriated satisfy the groups served,
though we do feel that an effort should be made to bring about a clearer under-

6 P.D. 31.

standing throughout the State that funds appropriated to the so-called Control
Services, for instance, are not in fact funds appropriated for the work of the
College, except as the College is increasingly the servant of the people.

The financing of educational activities in the country today, all the way from
the primary school to the University, is a difficult problem, both for the appro-
priating bodies and for the schools and colleges. The Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, through the years, has done well in the way of appropriations for
the State College. We are confident that even with the very definite need for
economy in government, that we shall continue to receive support from the
State that will make possible a very satisfactory educational program on the
part of the College.

Changing Educational Needs

Age brings conservatism in man and in his institutions, particularly in the
field of education. However, it is my strong belief that in the Land-Grant Col-
leges, because of the character of students which they attract and because of
their service to such a changing industry as agriculture, there is less danger
of becoming fixed in a mold than may be the case with other kinds of educational
institutions. It is possible that the College has been in existence long enough
to feel its age somewhat yet through the past seven years, during which period
a depression philosophy has seemed to grip the country as a whole, there has
been every evidence that the College is still youthful in its attitude toward its
educational problems and toward its obligations and opportunities for service
to the Commonwealth as a whole.

Good evidence of the youthful attitude of the College towards its educational
problems is the way in which the administrative and teaching staffs of the Col-
lege responded to the reorganization of the work in Economics and Engineer-
ing carried through during the past four years. There was no resentment and
no forecasting of dire results as old departments were merged and new depart-
ments created.

It is certain that all colleges and universities are feeling the impact of chang-
ing social and economic conditions and changing forms and attitudes in govern-
ment. The outsider who knows little of what is going on over the campuses of
the country is inclined to speak of the life on a college campus as peaceful and
secluded and unchanging. This is furthest from the truth as one may well
appreciate from contact with the driving force of student ideas and activities.
It has been my privilege to express to this Board in previous reports my faith
in the type of young men and women who enter our doors as students. Because
of the character of the program carried on at the College and the opportunity
which the State is offering to these men and women of a college experience at
a low cost, with increasing opportunity for self-help, it is ni}- belief that unless
radical changes are brought about in social and economic opportunities, the
College need have no fear of unsound thinking or radical tendencies either on
the part of its student body or its professional staff.

on a college campus as peaceful and secluded and unchanging. This is furthest

social and economic opportunities, the College need have no fear of unsound
thinking or radical tendencies either on the part of its student body or its pro-
fessional staff.

Because of economic and social changes which are causing industries and
communities through the country to demand men and women with a sounder
foundation of training in the natural sciences, a recommendation has been made

P.D. 31. 7

through Trustee Committees as to some further reorganization of departments
on the Campus. Bacteriology, which is so fundamental in such great industries
as those producing and processing food and particularly in communities which
are demanding increased services in the field of sanitation and water supply,
is requiring trained leadership. Therefore, it seems desirable to emphasize
the opportunities in instruction and research in this field at the College by
creating a separate Department of Bacteriology rather than continuing it as
a section of a department. It is my belief that a separate Department of Bac-
teriology will strengthen greatly the program in science at the College without
adding materially to the cost either of personnel or equipment.

In discussing briefly the educational needs and opportunities at the College,
it would be in place to refer to the growing importance of the two-year voca-
tional courses which are brought together within the Stockbridge School of
Agriculture. The action which the Board of Trustees took some four years
ago in authorizing the addition to the program of the School of vocational
courses in the fields of Wildlife Management and Hotel Stewarding has proven
to have been a wise one. The instruction and laboratory work in these courses
are essentially agricultural and will continue to be. Questions are asked from
time to time by older Alumni of the College as to the future of the Stockbridge
School of Agriculture — in part because of courses which have been added to
the program of the School and in part possibly because of the way in which the
students of the School have been increasingly active in the life of the Campus
and the State. A careful survey supplemented with rather full discussion among
those who are teaching Stockbridge students emphasizes the strong feeling on
the Campus that the School is not growing away from its original intent and-
purpose nor is there evidence of its encroachment upon the four-year program.
There is every indication that the College is fortunate in having so active and
vital a vocational school functioning as one of its departments.

Student Activities and Needs

Repeatedly during the past seven years, in annual reports to the Trustees and
in monthly letters, comments have been made on the fine character of the student
body. We are fortunate in the source of these students, that is the homes from
which they come. It seems to me that we cannot repeat too often that the great
service which this College has rendered to the Commonwealth through more
than seventy years has been that of making possible four years of a college
experience for many thousands of young men and women from homes of mod-
erate income who, had it not been for this College, would never have had the
opportunity for a college education. That the College has been meeting the
need of the great host of young people who have been coming out of families
of moderate means through the years is evidenced by the constantly increasing
pressure from these young people for admittance to this College. Through the
past four years. Dean Machmer has been explaining in his annual reports the
increasing difficulties which we are facing in keeping our numbers down within
the limits of our teaching staff and our physical facilities. It would appear
that these difficulties will increase over a long period of years even with a slowly
declining birth i^ate through the country and increasing efforts on the part of
privately endowed institutions to attract students through increased scholarship
aid.

It is my personal opinion that the greatest natural resource of such a Com-
monwealth as Massachusetts is this great group of young men and women
coming from families of moderate means who must have some assistance from
the outside if they are to complete their college experience. There seems to
be a growing appreciation of this development on the part of the public as a
whole. If these young people, coming from homes where real sacrifices must
be made if they are to have a college experience, are our greatest natural re-
source, then the State can well afford to make a greater investment in its State
College.

8 P.D. 31.

The fine privately endowed colleges and universities of this Commonwealth
and surrounding states are largely national in character preferring a student
body representative of the entire country. The graduates of the State College,
however, represent the homes of the State and go back in ever increasing num-
bers into communities within the State to live and work and serve in such a
way as to pay the State a large return on its investment in their education.

In any consideration of the character and needs of the seventeen hundred
,men and women who make up the student body of the College, emphasis should
be placed upon the fact that they are at the College because they and their
parents are convinced that a college experience is necessary as preparation for
the kind of life they feel they have a right to live. It is increasingly apparent
that they believe that the College means an experience for them that will fit
them for more effective and satisfying living. The result of all of this is that
there is an amazing amount of sane and wholesome thinking on the part of
this group of students when all about them there is question as to the future
and restlessness and criticism because of present day conditions. The whole-
some thinking of the student body is reflectd in the way in which fraternities,
sororities, and other student organizations carry on their activities and the way
in which students are interested in efforts to broaden their viewpoints and con-
tacts through what might be called professional organizations of the student
body, such as the Pre-Medical Club, Chemistry Club, the Entomology Club, and
similar clubs and the various student government organizations.

It has seemed a sound policy to further in so far as possible the idea of stu-
dent government on the Campus. The Administration of the College has
worked closely with the various student government organizations and has
found in these organizations a surprising attitude of cooperation with the Ad-
ministration and a fine college spirit. Repeatedly, these student government
organizations in considering their own activities have emphasized their con-
cern with the betterment of the College as it is carrying on its work on the
Campus and the strengthening of the position of the College in the educational
program of the State. We are fortunate, in my opinion, in our student body.

Improved Teaching and Research

It is, or should be, the ambition of every college and university to build into
the institution as the years pass, a teaching and research staff of men and women
who are thoroughly well trained and who have proven themselves to be good
teachers and good researchers. It is my belief that this College, through the
years, has been fortunate in its teaching and research staffs.

From year to year as the executives of colleges and universities of the coun-
try get together in their professional organizations, there is certain to be dis-
cussions of ways and means of measuring the effectivness of teachers and re-
searchers and of procedures by which teaching and research may be improved.
It would be safe to say that there is no college or university of standing in the
country which is not making more or less definite efforts to measure the value
of teachers and researchers and to develop means whereby teaching- and re-
search may be improved.

A vacancy occurs in a teaching department and the head of the department,
in cooperation with the president of the institution, immediately begins a search
for the best available person to fill the vacancy. Through the period of depres-
sion, an increasing number of young people, in some cases because of the diflft-
culty of finding employment, have gone on for graduate work, securing jNIasters'
or Doctors' degrees. Granted that these degrees may or may not mean very
much as far as the value of these young people is concerned in teaching and
research work, the result has been that the colleges are able to secure, even
for the lower teaching positions, young people who have a Doctor's degree. At
times it may seem as if the college or university is taking advantage of a situa-
tion to require this period of advanced work on the part of our young people.

P.D. 31. 9

It has been our aim at Massachusetts State, through the past seven years,
to exercise the greatest possible care in selecting thoroughly well trained people
as additions are made to the staff and we have been fortunate in the people
who have come to us for teaching and research work. It is not always possible,
of course, to find younger people particularly, who have had teaching experience
and who may come to us as proven teachers. Even with the bringing in of
older people, there may not be assurance of teaching ability.

While the College, as far as its salary levels is concerned, is very much fixed
in the mold of the State Classification System, our experience with those who
control personnel matters in the State Government has been as satisfactory as
could be expected under such a system. We have had the utmost of considera-
tion and cooperation from the Personnel Division and I believe rather unusual
consideration by that Division of the problems of an educational institution.
However, those at the head of the Division are limited by the system and at
times the College finds it very difficult to meet what may be a serious need in
recognizing outstanding service on the part of its instructional and research
staffs. The time will come, and must come, when the Commonwealth will recog-
nize that the College, if it is to maintain its reputation as an educational insti-
tution and be a credit to the Commonwealth, must have greater freedom in re-
classification, particularly of members of its teaching staff. It is unfortun-
ate for the College, and often a sad experience, when a young person who has
been brought into the College as an instructor, after the most promising period
of preparation, reaches the maximum of the salary grade for the position and
no further salary advance is possible. It is to be regretted that we have a very
considerable number of instructors and assistant professors who have had to
occupy these positions for years without advancement even though the Adminis-
tration has done its utmost to bring about advancement. A young instructor
or assistant professor naturally desires in time to marry and have a family, but
it seems too often economically impossible for such a sane and sensible devel-
opment to take place in the light of present income and the uncertainty of future
income. All this is said with full appreciation of the difficulties which the State
is facing in meeting the income problems of its personnel not only in this Col-
lege but in all phases of state activity. However, it is more than fitting that
I should emphasize to you the importance of such changes as will make possible
the strengthening of teaching and research at the College.

In this connection, it is in place to refer again to the difficulties which we
have had through the past year, and which will continue through this present
year, in finding necessary funds in a limited budget to take care of the normal
step system. During the year which closed on November 30th last, the College
did not receive funds sufficient to take care of all its personnel commitments and,
therefore, after the most careful consideration, it was decided that it would be
possible to give the step increase only to those in the lower wage and salary
brackets. This meant that those above the grade of instructor in the profes-
sional staff could not receive a normal step increase. That normal increase
of $120 or $180 really means a very great deal, particularly to married men
who are holding positions of assistant professorships. The regular application
of the step system is vital in maintaining proper morale in the professional staff.
This year it is our determination to find funds, if possible, to give the normal
step increase to all employees.

Through annual reports to the Board, and particularly through the monthly
letters, effort has been made to keep the Board informed as to the activities of
members of the teaching and research staffs. Many members of the profes-
sional staff through the past year, in their determination to keep abreast of
developments in their field of work, have found funds out of a meager income
to pay 50% of expenses to attend meetings of their professional organizations.
We should certainly express our appreciation of the fine way in which these
men and women have been willing to use their own funds for professional im-
provement. You can rest assured that the Administration of the College is
doing its utmost to secure better teachers and researchers as vacancies occur in

10 P.D. 31.

the staff and that it will carry on every possible activity to improve teaching
and research. We must have, however, the continued interest and support,
not only of the Governing Board, but of the friends of the College as a whole
in securing necessary financial support if we are to maintain our reputation as
a College with high standards of work.

At this time, it is more than fitting that expression should be made of deep
appreciation for the splendid spirit of cooperation and loyalty which during the
year has been shown me by all the various groups making up the College. In
many ways, the past year has been a particularly difficult one because of what
might be indicated as almost extreme pressure for admittance to the College
of increasing numbers of students. The long-time Secretary of the College,
now its Treasurer, Mr. Robert D. Hawley, has been of particular help not
only in the difficult problems involving business management of the College
but in all our outside relationships. He enters his new work as Treasurer of
the College with unusual understanding, demonstrated ability, and a spirit of
faithfulness and loyalty that should make him of increasing value to the College
as the years pass. In meeting the pressure for admittance of students, the Dean
of the College, Dr. William L. Machmer, and his staff have given in a quiet
and effective way a service which is difficult to evaluate. Because of the
peculiarly helpful work of the two men mentioned, it seems to me that it would
be quite in place to make definite reference to them in this report and yet it is
a little hard to make this personal reference because the other members of the
Administrative group and the teaching and research staffs as a whole have
given so freely of themselves in making it possible to continue a successful pro-
gram of teaching and research by the College. And thanks and appreciation
are given to all the other members of our college family. Trustees, Students,
Alumni, and Advisory groups assisting the College from the outside. It should
be repeated often, in part because of the many criticisms made of our educa-
tional groups today and the many dire prophecis of difficulties ahead, that our
colleges and universities are making progress generally on a sound basis because
of the unusual spirit of loj^alty and cooperation on the part of all those who
have to do with any of the varied activities of the colleges and universities.

It is very much in place to emphasize the fact that each year Massachusetts
State College seems to be a better College because of the fine spirit of coopera-
tion evidenced throughout the organization. The progress that has been made
during the past seven years is a credit not to one man or to one group of men,
but to the united efforts of the Board of Trustees, the Faculty, the students,
the Alumni, and the many friends of Massachusetts State College throughout
the Commonwealth.

The Sixty-Ninth Commenceinent

Commencement exercises were held in the Rhododendron Garden and at-
tended by about three thousand persons. The principal address was delivered
by the Honorable Leverett Saltonstall, Governor of the Commonwealth. The
Honorable Walter F. Downey, Commissioner of Education, presented the
Baccalaureate diplomas. One hundred and eighty-one candidates received the
degree of Bachelor of Science and forty-seven candidates were given the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts. This is the first year that the A.B. degree was
awarded by the College. The Degree of Bachelor of Vocational Agriculture
was conferred on three candidates. The Degree of Bachelor of Science in Land-
scape Architecture was awarded to three candidates, the degree of IMaster of
Science to fifty-six candidates, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to five
candidates.

Changes in Staff

Six members of the professional staff left the service of the College during
the year, one by retirement and five by resignation. The retirement is that
of Dr. Frank A. Waugh, Head of the Department of Landscape Architecture.

P.D. 31. 11

Dr. Waugh has been Head of the Department of Landscape Architecture since
1932 and before that Head of the Division of Horticulture, since 1902. It was
largely through his efforts that Massachusetts State College assumed early-
leadership in the field of Landscape Architecture. Hundreds of Alumni will
long remember Dr. Waugh for his outstanding course in Art Appreciation.
His exceptionally able service as teacher and administrator has been recognized
by your Board by inscription in the official records of the Board and by his
election as Emeritus Professor of Landscape Architecture.

The five resignations were those of J. Paul Williams, Director of Religioiis
Education; Herbert E. Warfel, Assistant Professor of Zoology; Nathan Raix-
ieten, Instructor in Physiology ; James D. Curtis, Instructor in Forestry ; and
Joseph F. Hauck, Instructor in Agricultural Economics and Farm Manage-
ment. All five men left to accept more important positions elsewhere after
periods of service varying from two to eight years.

It is fitting at this time to recognize also the retirement of Fred C. Kenncy,
Treasurer of the College since 1907, although his retirement did not take place
until after the close of this report year. Treasurer Kenney has rendered faith-
ful and effective service in a career which has covered nearly half the history
of the College. His conscientious accounting for the College funds through
these years and his fine record as administrator of student loan funds have earned
him the lasting respect and gratitude of everyone connected with the Institu-
tion. Mr. Kenney was succeeded by Robert D. Hawley, Secretary of the Col-
lege since 1926. James W. Burke, Extension Editor since 1935, succeeded
Mr. Hawley as Secretary.

Staff appointments during the past year are as follows : Instructor in Phys-
iology and Hygiene, John H. Blair ; Assistant Professor of Zoology, Clinton
V. MacCoy ; Instructor in Landscape Architecture, Eugene R. Martini ; Lab-
oratory Assistant in Forestry ; Fulton A. Moorehead ; Instructor in Agricul-
tural Economics, Alfred H. Planting ; Instructor in Forestry, Arnold D. Rhodes ;
Director of Religious Activities, David A. Sharp, Jr. ; Laboratory Assistant
in Vegetable Gardening, Walter J. Hodder ; Research Assistant in Home
Economics, Mrs. Anne W. Wertz ; Laboratory Assistant in Botany, William
Henry White.

Student Convocation

Student Convocations have been held as usual for one hour a week in Bowker
Auditorium, for the purpose of bringing to the student body stimulating and
informative messages by outstanding leaders in the business, social, and edu-
cational world. Among the speakers this year were three college presidents,
the State Director of the National Youth Administration, the State Commis-
sioner of Corporations and Taxation, the State Secretary of the American Fed-
eration of Labor, the Chairman of the State Planning Board, and other promi-
nent professional and educational leaders.

Other Convocations have been devoted to Student activities such as debating,
music, and singing.

As reported previously the student body has outgrown the capacity of Bowker
Auditorium and it has been found necessary to excuse all Seniors from attend-
ing Convocation during the first term and to excuse Juniors from attendance
during the second term. It is to be regretted that the four college classes no
longer can meet together once a week to hear these speakers, to exchange
notices of student activities, to sing college songs together, to enjoy the student
debating, and in general to develop good relations between students and faculty.
It is our sincere hope that future growth of the College will provide an audi-
torium of suitable capacity.

Campus Events of the Year

Throughout the year thousands of visitors find opportunity to attend educa-
tional meetings and conferences sponsored by the College as part of its service

12 P.D. 31.

program for citizens of the Commonwealth. Some of these meeting's are regu-
lar annual events; others are held on special occasions.

One of the most recent conferences to become an annual institution is the
conference on Current Governmental Problems attended by town, county and
state officers for the purpose of exchanging information on common problems
and improving governmental facilities.

A successful Horticultural Show was conducted after a one year lapse be-
cause of the hurricane. Farm and Home Week this year centered about the
observance of the 25th anniversary of Extension work under the Smith Lever
Act and recognition was given to those local volunteer leaders of Extension
who have been with the work since its inception. The Recreation Conference,
the Poultry Breeders School, 4-H Camps and High School Day provided a
variety of educational activities for visitors. As usual the Field Stations at
Waltham and Wareham conducted many educational meetings for both farm
and garden groups.

The Campus and the college buildings have also been available to outside
organizations desiring a convenient meeting place for educational conferences.
This use is welcomed where it does not interfere with regular college events.
Organizations using the Campus, together with attendance figures, may be
found in the statistical section of this report.

Special Appropriations, 1940

The Trustee budget for special appropriations for 1940 includes fourteen items
totaling $650,000. The first seven are for building construction and general
improvements, one is for land purchase, one for special scientific equipment
and five for special services.

I. CONSTRUCTION

1. New Heating Plant $300,000

For several years it has been realized that the replacement of
our Power Plant equipment and facilities would soon be neces-
sary. A thorough study was made in 1935 which pointed out that
present equipment is very wasteful and inefficient as compared
with modern equipment, also that the College had outgrown its
present facilities and that a greater demand was imposed upon
these than should be. Further increase in Campus buildings will
certainly require attention to our Power Plant facilities. It is
proposed herein to replace steam generating and electric gener-
ating equipment with improved facilities for steam and power
distribution and improved maintenance shop facilities.

Women's Dormitory

Only about one-third of the women students in the College
can now be housed in Campus dormitories. Proper development
of the College must provide more adequate housing for these stu-
dents. Increased enrollment will require additional dining hall
facilities also. It is proposed to provide them in the dormitory
herein suggested.

200,000

14 P.D. 31.

3. Experiment Station Barn and Greenhouses 75,000

The present Experiment Station barn is old and very poorly
located on the main highwa}^ next to the Home Economics prac-
tice house. The two greenhouses available for Experiment Sta-
tion research are also very old and in much need of repair. They
are obsolete as far as construction and adaptability to the type
of work now being conducted in them are concerned and the cost
of reconstruction is prohibitive. Therefore, it is proposed to take
down these structures and build an adequate and up-to-date barn
and greenhouses to provide for the research work for which they
are required.

4. Tiling Separator Room and Main Hallway in Dairy Laboratory 5,000

This project proposed to modernize that portion of dairy in-
dustry laboratory not previously improved so that it will conform
to the rest of the building and be properly representative of a
modern dairy industry laboratory.

5. Improvements at Dining Hall, Renezv Ceilings,

Repair of refrigerators 5,000

The present Dining Hall ceiling is very greatly in need of
repair and this is an appropriate time for installing a sound proof
ceiling much needed in a large dining hall for the accommodation
of students.

•The present refrigerator boxes are of wood and are badly rotted.
They should be relined with new insulating material and faced
with washable cement. This would reduce loss of refrigeration
and make the boxes more sanitary.

6. Painting Buildings 10,000

All Campus buildings have been greatly in need of painting
since funds have not been adequate for several years to meet the
annual requirement in this respect. Special appropriation was
provided in 1938 by which substantial progress was made but
additional funds are needed over a period of several years if
College buildings are to be put in proper condition from this stand-
point.

7. Installation of 8" zvater line from North College to

Young Stock Barn. 6,000

The present 4" line to farm department barns is not adequate for
fire protection there in case of emergency and it is proposed herein
to replace this line with an 8" cast iron class B water line.

II. LAND PURCHASE

8. Land and Equipment for Nezv Experimental and

Demonstration Work with Turkeys and Ducks 18,000

Over 500 farms now raise over 200,000 turkeys in Massachu-
setts and there are several million table ducks marketed in the
State annually. There is need at this College for facilities for re-
search and demonstration in this field in which we are not now
engaged. It should be realized that the turkey experimental work
undoubtedly will return sufficient income eventually to pay the
cost of maintenance and some of the capital outlay. It is sug-
gested that approximately sixty acres of adjoining farm land be
purchased.

P.D. 31. ■ 15

III. EQUIPMENT PURCHASE

9. Spectroscope for Science Departments 4,500

One of the major developments in the field of Chemistry in
the past few years has been the use of the spectroscope as a tool
for analytical purposes. This adaptation has made possible the de-
termination of the so-called "trace elements" with greater re-
finement than ever before. Consideration of the interest in this
field alone would make this instrument an important addition
to the College equipment. Several departments of the College
are engaged in research projects which have for their purpose,
among others, the determination of these metals. The addition
of this instrument would be a great benefit to the research and
instruction service of our scientific departments.

IV SPECIAL SERVICES

10. Field and Laboratory Work for Suppression of Dutch Elm

and Other Shade Tree Diseases 5,000

This request is to continue the project which has been carried
on under special appropriation for several years particularly with
reference to the Dutch Elm Disease and its insect or other car-
iers.

11. Research and Advisory Service to Poultry Industry 6,000

This renews the request of 1939 for expansion of service under
the Feedstuffs Control Law to provide for the investigation of
claims of vitamin potency and other factors made by feed manu-
facturers and also to give advisory service on poultry diseases
which in many cases are tied directly into the feeding of poultry.

12. Research Service in Turf Management 7,500

This is a renewal of the request contained in the budget for
1939 for funds with which to undertake research in turf im-
provement to meet increasing demands from greenkeepers, state
park and cemetery authorities.

13. Productive Enterprise Fund ■ 3,000

This is a continuation of the annual request for funds with
which to meet emergency situations in the productive depart-
ments and control services of the College.

14. Aid to Students 5,000

This is a continuation for request for a fund which has been
provided for several years for use to aid worthy and needy students

to pursue their college course.

$650,000

Report of the Dean

During the greater part of the college year 1938 - 39 the office of the Dean
was located in North College — an arrangement made necessary while our offices
in South College were being renovated. We were able to move into our new
offices the first week in April.

The Dean's new quarters with a large General Office and separate offices
for the Dean, Assistant Dean, Recorder, Schedule Clerk and Stenographer
enable this administrative branch to function more effectively than was pos-
sible in the crowded and poorly planned offices it formerly occupied. We
deeply appreciate the consideration given this department, which must of
necessity deal not only with every single student but also with those inter-
ested in his work and progress. It is a busy office.

Student Selection

The policy of limiting the enrollment of new students continued in effect
with the class admitted this ye'ar. This rather arbitrary restriction, though
necessary, is not in accord with popular conception which would have public
education available for all who desire it and limited in extent only b}' the men-
tal capacity of the individual student. The pressure for admission on the
part of well-qualified students is becoming greater each year. It is especially
great on the part of women students. In the freshman class admitted this
fall, no woman candidate was accepted who did not rank in the first third of
her graduating class in scholarship.

In spite of the limited quota set for the entering class the undergraduate
student body this fall reached a new high — fifty more than a year ago. By
classes the registration was :

P.D. 31. 17

The three classes totaled nine-hundred and fourteen students. Of these 32,
or three and one-half per cent, were dropped for poor scholarship and a total
of 77 , or a little more than eight per cent, left for reasons of scholarship, trans-
fer, finances, marriage, work and faulty adjustment. This is a very credit-
able record when compared with colleges generally. With the selective pro-
cess now in efifect and the help and direction given to those finally enrolled, an
ever-larger number of those who enter College as freshmen will complete their
course to the point of graduation.

The Exceptional Student

Along with other colleges we have given much time and effort to the student
of lower than average ability. We have assisted him with advice in forming
correct habits of study, with tutors, and with modified schedules. This work
has been effective and undoubtedly has enabled many students to derive greater
benefit from their college experience. In some cases this special attention has
actually prevented total failure.

In recent years a special effort has been made to encourage and assist the
exceptionally promising student. With a fixed curriculum of required basic
courses for the first year little can be done for the exceptionally well-prepared
student other than to put him in more advanced courses or in sections carrying
advanced work. This is now being done in French, German, and Mathematics.
Further encouragement is given through the one or two course elections now
available in the freshman year.

During the sophomore and junior years this student is reasonably well cared
for because of the wide opportunity for election since only two courses, English
and Social Science, are required. The remaining courses may be elected with
the advice and approval of the student's major adviser.

For seniors. Departmental Honors Courses have been provided. These are
available to high ranking seniors who have maintained a scholastic average of
at least eighty per cent throughout the college course and, in addition, show
outstanding promise in the field of their major. The objective of such courses
is to give the superior student an opportunity for independent and original
work during his senior year. The Honors Course is usually equivalent to six
semester credits of work. It is centered around some challenging problem
selected by the candidate. He works under the supervision of a faculty adviser.
This year thirty seniors were studying for departmental honors. There were
candidates in the following fields : Chemistry, Economics, English, Entomology,
Floriculture, French, Home Economics, Horticultural Manufactures, Mathe-
matics, Olericulture, Psychology, and Zoology. Subjects selected for study
ranged from "A Personal Critique of Styles in English Poetry" to '"The Devel-
opment of the Pituitary Gland in the Chick Embryo".

The work of twenty-eight of the thirty candidates was of high grade and
was approved by both the adviser and the Honors Committee. These twenty-
eight seniors were granted Departmental Honors.

Education for Democracy

The College is a democratic institution responsible to a society in which the
people who compose it are their own governors. Since such a government
by the people can be no better than the people themselves, popular education
becomes more and more important. In recent years the totalitarian countries
have succeeded in focusing the attention of the democracies on the problem
of training for citizenship. Germany has decreed that the individual must
be trained to serve the State. The educational program of that country has
been shaped to realize this objective and no one can deny its effectiveness for
this purpose.

The democratic ideal is more difficult of comprehension. Democracy is a
way of life and social organization which above all others is sensitive to the
dignity and worth of the individual personality, affirming the fundamental

18 ■ P.D. 31.

moral and political equality of all men and recognizing no barriers of race,
religion, or circumstances. Democracy affirms the ability of common people
to rule themselves, and the necessity of providing equality though not identity
of opportunity for growth and development of all its youth. It cherishes
minority opinion, and deliberately provides a process through which all men
may share in the shaping of their common purposes and policies. Democracy
is a meaningless concept if stripped of religious or spiritual attitudes toward
life — such attitudes as a consciousness of the oneness of mankind, emotional
satisfaction in the common good as distinct from narrowly selfish interests, and
reliance on forces for good in the universe. We believe in the sanctity of human
life, and the worth of the individual human personality. This makes necessary
the individual's responsibility for his own development and that of his fellows.

The essence of education is self-development. This development may be lop-
sided and discordant or symmetrical and harmonious. The more symmetrical
and harmonious the development, the more marked is the recipient's personality
and power for good. The College can not evade the responsibility of giving
its students, in an atmosphere of freedom and democratic opportunity, those
materials necessary to form a true judgment relative to their duties in main-
taining our democracy, perhaps indeed in an improved form because there is
really no best government except for a specific period under definite condi-
tions. Students must be convinced that democracy is capable of making this
country worthy of their ideals. We can not hope to have this cause grip them
unless they can feel that it is morally right.

This important educational objective can be attained only if teachers be-
come "stimulators". It is in this manner that the student is effectively aided
in his self-development. I am convinced that the work of our faculty in this
direction is sound and purposeful.

Curriculum

In an effort to clarify the requirements for students desiring to specialize
in the fields of Wildlife Management and Recreational Planning the former
was assigned to the Department of Forestry and the latter to Landscape Archi-
tecture. All the courses definitely offered in these fields are listed together
under sub-divisions of the above departments.

The work in General Engineering, begun last year with an enrollment of
sixteen students, was elected this fall by twenty additional students. The cur-
riculum was strengthened by the addition of three new courses : "Properties
and Tests of Materials", "Steam Power", and "Elements of Structures".

Other new courses approved during the year were : in Physical Education.
"Officiating" and "Tests and Measurements" ; in i\gricultural Economics. "Land
Economic Principles and Problems"; in Mathematics, "Introduction to Higher
Geometry", "Theory of Equations", "Vector Analysis", "History of INIathe-
matics" ; in Landscape Architecture, "Planting Design"; in Physics. "Sound
and Acoustics"; in Education and Psychology, "Logic"; in Economics. "Busi-
ness Practice and Cost Accounting".

A new teacher-training program will become effective next year. It is de-
signed to provide prospective teachers with enough professional courses to
meet certification requirements and in addition offer them an opportunity for
sufficient practice-teaching to enable them to compete successfully with grad-
uates from other colleges. Under this plan the prospective teacher will take
general and specialized subject-matter courses for three and one-half years
but will take no courses in Education. During one semester of his senior year
the student will undertake professional courses in Education and practice teach-
ing but no subject-matter courses in other departments. The schedule during
that semester will be so arranged that the student will alternate one full week
of teaching in the public schools with one week of course work on the campus.
The four courses offered during the weeks on campus will be concerned witli
methods and management, secondary education, curriculum and testing, philos-

P.D. 31. 19

ophy and practice of teaching. The enrollment under this plan is to be restricted
to fifteen students each semester and an effort is to be made to select the candi-
dates best suited to teaching.

Entrance under the plan for the fall semester of 1940-1941 will be restricted
to present juniors who have had no courses in Education (or a maximum of
one course) and who can show a satisfactory program of courses in general
fields and in their field of specialization. The present offering of courses in Edu-
cation will be restricted somewhat, but enough courses will be offered so that
students desiring to meet certification requirements without practice teaching
will still be accommodated if care is taken in the arrangement of their schedules.

The Bachelor of Arts Degree

Authorized by the Trustees of the College in June 1938, the Bachelor of
Arts degree was conferred for the first time last June upon forty-seven students.
The curriculum changes necessitated for the offering of this degree were minor
and were made with the minimum of difficulty. The problems which might
have been expected to arise because of the offering of this degree — an increased
pressure for admission, a divided student body, a demand for new courses, and
a marked drift away from science — did not materialize. Indeed, never has
so important a change been made at the College which has created fewer new
problems. That there will be an increase in the number of candidates for the A.B.
degree was anticipated, but there is every reason to believe that it will be
gradual. This year fifty-four seniors are registered for the degree of Bachelor
of Arts.

Extra-curricular Activities

That a student gains much from participation in extra-curricular activities
whether they be athletic or academic can not be denied. Their very presence
on the college campus makes for a better spirit and improves the student morale.
This year the work of our musical organizations, especially the Glee Club,
Orchestra, and Choir, has been outstanding. The Choir has forty regular mem-
bers and a long waiting list. This group sings at Sunday Vespers and this
year sang in numerous churches in western Massachusetts. Through the efforts
of the Religious Advisory Board new maroon choir robes were purchased this
fall.

The college Band, the Roister-Doisters, and the Debating Club all have had
a most successful year.

With the exception of the baseball and swimming teams, which enjoyed a
good season, the varsity athletic teams have not been outstanding from the
standpoint of games won. Deserving of mention, however, is the intra-mural
athletic program. Its aim is to afford the opportunity for every student in
the College to build up a repertoire of wholesome recreational habits through
athletic competitions. Even under the most ideal conditions participation on
on varsity squads is limited to a relatively small percentage of the students.
The intra-mural program is planned to take care of the less skilled who through
this medium may have enjoyable physical recreation. During the fall of the
year, 42.6 per cent of those eligible for participation were members of some
intra-mural team. Each one of the eleven fraternities had teams in competition.
In the final standing Phi Sigma Kappa stood first and Kappa Sigma second.

Since the College does not have an indoor rink, it has been difficult in recent
years to play a successful hockey schedule bcause of poor ice conditions. So
this year the Joint Athletic Committee voted to drop intercollegiate hockey.
In its place has been scheduled a number of informal contests with teams in
schools and colleges near Amherst.

Especially is it true in regard to extra-curricular activities that too much of
a good thing is too much. One of the most acute problems in the whole field
of our extra-curricular activities is the over-participation in these on the part

20 P.D. 31.

of some students. While leadership in these activities is, on the whole, well
distributed, there is a group of students who devote too much time to too many
activities at the expense of their courses. Some solution to this problem must
be reached.

Fraternities and Sororities

About forty-eight per cent of our men and fifty-three per cent of our women
students are active members of fraternities and sororities. Pledges would in-
crease this number from five to ten per cent.

During the year the new Kappa Sigma House was completed. This makes
three fraternities now living in buildings especially erected as chapter houses.
This new house is located on the west side of Butterfield Terrace and com-
mands a rare view of the campus and the foothills of the Berkshires beyond.
It is a well planned house containing adequate bedrooms, studies, and common
rooms and a modern kitchen and dining room. Extensive improvements were
also made during the year in the Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha Gamma Rho,
Q. T. v., and Tau Epsilon Phi chapter houses. All these changes are meeting
needs which have been recognized as being of first importance to our students.

While the sororities are well housed they are unfortunately over-crowded
because of the necessity of housing enough members to meet the financial out-
lay required. One solution to this problem is the erection of another women's
dormitory and of a Women's Building, requested for the past few years by
the Trustees as the first building need. Further consideration of this problem
is omitted here because it has been considered fully by the President in his
report.

Faculty

Six months' leave for professional improvement was granted to the following
members of the teaching staff : Professor Victor A. Rice, Head of the Divi-
sion of Agriculture, for advanced study at Columbia University ; Mr. Collis
Lyle, instructor in German, to study at the University of Iowa ; Miss iVIary
Garvey, Assistant Professor of Bacteriology, for advanced study at the Uni-
versity of Chicago ; Dr. Harvey L. Sweetman, Assistant Professor of Entom-
ology, and Dr. Clarence E. Gordon, Professor of Geology and Mineralogy,
for study and research.

Needs

The argument for new buildings has been presented in former reports. But
I would be remiss if I failed to emphasize again our urgent need of a Women's
Building, Physics Building, Mathematics Building, Assembly Hall and Dormi-
tory. These are not requested for purposes of expansion. They are needed
for effective work with the number of students now on the campus in the courses
already authorized.

The College could use to good advantage additional funds for scholarships.
The amount available now is so small that it is impossible to assist even with
small grants the most promising and needy students. No student assisted from
the income of trust funds can be granted more than sixty dollars a year. There
are many deserving students who are compelled to meet all or nearly all college
expenses through their own efforts. Many of these succeed, but at the expense
of a comparatively low scholastic record. At present no student is encouraged
to register who is not prepared to meet the necessary expenses of his first year,
approximately $500.

In recent years many requests have been made for courses open to teachers
in service. Such courses must be scheduled in the late afternoon, evenings,
or on Saturday. They should be in subject-matter fields rather than in pro-
fessional education. A committee is now at work on this problem. It is our

P.D. 31.

hope that a solution may be found through joint offerings with other colleges
in western Massachusetts. As one of the units in the system of public educa-
tion, this College has a responsibility in connection with the improvement of
secondary school teaching.

Conclusion

In view of the wholesome attitude and interest of the student body, the de-
voted service of a competent and cooperative faculty carrying an exceptionally
heavy teaching load, I have the honor to report that the College has had a suc-
cessful year and faces the future with confidence.

Report of the Director of the Graduate School

The relationships between the undergraduate college and the graduate school
at Massachusetts State College are so intimate that any significant changes in
the program of the former are sure to find expression in the latter. Almost
immediately after provision was made for the Bachelor of Arts degree there
was evident interest in graduate work toward the Master's degree in that field.
This development is so logical and so consistent with our professed objec-
tives that the way should be cleared for the Master of Arts degree so that cer-
tain misinterpretations may be avoided. Also, the Master of Science degree,
as now awarded to all qualified majors in Education, becomes difficult to justify
when an increasing number of students will be limited in scientific background.
If there were provision for the Master of Education degree our product would
be more accurately defined.

The requirement of a thesis from all candidates for a master's degree should
be modified, if it is interpreted that a thesis is based on original research, be-
cause this field of major study does not readily lend itself to what is commonly
recognized as research. Furthermore, many students qualified for graduate
work have little background for or interest in investigation. They are primarily
concerned with meeting the definite educational qualifications for a position
in the teaching profession. If the thesis requirement were eliminated and the
credits ordinarily allowed for same were earned in such subject-matter courses
as find an expression in our secondary schools, a better qualified product
sliould result. On that basis, an attempt is being made to develop a composite
major in the field of Education to which several departments may contribute
in proportion to the prominence of their subject matter in the secondary school
curriculum and consistent with the prospective teacher's preference. Such a
major should prove as effective here as it has in Food Technology where a sim-
ilar arrangement has been in successful operation for the last few years. This
transfer of emphasis from an arbitrary standard of subjects and courses to the
interests of the students and the requirements of the job is not only educationally
sound but should be productive of desired results.

While graduate work has not shown pronounced growth, it has gradually
reached proportions in some departments where it needs to be recognized as a
significant factor in the teaching load if quality of instruction is to be increased
or even maintained. The responsibility fer graduate school service rests with
departments in the order listed below; the Education department is overloaded,
while some -of the other departments are distinctly benefited by the graduate
service.

Chemistry

Bacteriology & Physiology

Horticultural Manufactures

Agronomy

Agricultural Economics

Floriculture

The intimate relationship between the graduate school and the experiment
station is proving very beneficial to both units and, where promoted, is making
graduate work in some of our land grant colleges quite distinctive in preparing
students for special public services.

Report of the Director of Short Courses

Tree Wardens and Town Foresters

The short course for Tree Wardens and Town Foresters, held each spring,
this year March 27 to April 1, continues to receive good support from cities
and towns of the state through attendance of their officials charged with the
supervision of shade tree work. The State Highway Department has regularly
sent a half-dozen or more of their landscape foremen and the electric and tele-
phone companies are represented each year. The enrollment of forty-six was
the second highest since this course was started in 1934.

Dr. Malcolm A. McKenzie, Assistant Research Professor of Botany, has been
in direct charge of organizing and developing the work in recent years at the
request of Professor Robert P. Holdsworth of the Forestry Department who
aided greatly in establishing the original training unit. We wish to acknowl-
edge our appreciation of his fine service, and the cordial cooperation of Director
Fred J. Sievers of the Experiment Station and Professor A. Vincent Osmun
of the Department of Botany in making possible Dr. jNIcKenzie's assignment
to this course.

An interesting and significant development of the Tree W^ardens and Town
Foresters short course was the publication in February 1938, of bulletin No. 349
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station, on "Shade Tree Law
in Massachusetts" by Judge Edward T. Simoneau. The material had been pre-
sented first by him in a series of lectures to the tree warden group in 1937. These
lectures elicited much favorable comment and so many requests for copies,
that it was decided to issue the series in bulletin form. Dr. McKenzie states,
"we have received requests from all parts of the world for this publication, and
as far as I know it is the first attempt to present in one volume the laws of any
community relating to the subject of shade trees."

Winter Course

One hundred twenty-seven students registered in the nine courses offered. A
large number of college departments cooperate in making this practical training
available to adult citizens of the state at a minimum of expense and time. In
some departments it should be fairly recognized that this extra teaching load
requires extra assistance, as in Agrostology and Dairy Industry. We are pro-
viding such aid with the limited funds at hand.

The Practical and Scientific Course for Florists, usually offered on alternate
years, was discontinued this year because it no longer serves a sufficient number
of students.

Enrollment in winter courses by units follows :

Advanced Greenkeeping — Course A 6

Stockbridge Commencement

The June alumni reunion brought together more than two hundred Stock-
bridge graduates and their families. A special effort had been made by the
Alumni Association, headed by L. Roy Hawes, president, to put on an attractive
program to commemorate fittingly the twentieth anniversary of the first gradu-
ating class.

Gold — S — charms were awarded "for meritorious service" to four graduates
and one faculty member as follows :

Donald Lovell Crooks, S'25 — President of the Massachusetts Federation
of Poultry Associations. Citation given by Professor William Sanctuary
of the Poultry Husbandry Department.
A. Howard Whelan, S'29 — Manager of the Brockton Egg Auction. Cita-
tion by Professor Luther Banta of the Poultry Husbandry Department.
L. Roy Hawes, S'20 — A member of the pioneer graduating class, Alumni
Association President, and successful florist — a dirt farmer. Citation by
Emory E. Grayson, Director of Placement.
William B. Carter, S'24 — In 1938 elected president of the Boston Market
Gardners Association, Incorporated, the oldest organization of its kind in
the United States and the strongest in Massachusetts. The youngest man
ever to hold this office. Citation by Professor Grant B. Snyder of the De-
partment of Vegetable Gardening.
Charles Hiram Thayer, Assistant Professor of Agronomy. — Has given
almost a quarter century of service to the College and has taught every class
since Stockbridge was established. A teacher, naturalist, historian, con-
fidant and adviser of youth. Citation by President Hugh P. Baker.
A graduating class of one hundred and one students received the Stockbridge
diploma, including the first group of eight men to complete the Hotel Steward-
ing course. Some interesting figures are presented by the Alumni Office cov-
ering the twenty years of Stockbridge graduates. Total number of alumni,
graduates and non-graduates through June 1939 — 2,589. Total number of
graduates through June 1939 — 1,646. Known addresses, June 1, 1939 — 2,148.
Unknown (letters returned) — 341.

Overtaxed Facilities Force Entrance Quotas

As stated in the 1938 report an unusual increase in freshman students in two
major courses, Animal Husbandry and Dairy Manufactures, beyond the limits
of classroom and laboratory space available, made necessary new entrance re-
strictions. These have been worked out satisfactorily, we believe, by the de-
partments concerned. Applicants in these two courses are now required to
fill in a special supplementary application form giving specific reasons for their
decision and, in addition, they must be certified by their high school to have
been in the upper sixty per cent of their class. Students not completing high
school may be admitted after September 1, if the class limit has not Deen reached.
It is evident that applications are being filed earlier by prospective students
as a result of this plan and both quotas were filled by September 15. Only
a few applications had to be refused after that date. Some of these have already
arranged for entrance in 1940 so that no large number have been put to serious
inconvenience or finally prevented from attaining their purpose. Because of
the limits established there was a slight reduction in the first year enrollment
this fall from 199 in 1938 to 181 in 1939.

Hotel Stewarding

Improvements in curriculum and departmental teaching objectives after two
years of experience in this new work have been encouraging. The cordial
assistance of the hotel and restaurant organizations of Massachusetts has been
constantly at call in every possible way. For the third consecutive year the
Massachusetts Hotel Association has provided scholarship loan funds to the
amount of $600 and the Boston Stewards Club has made a second gift of $100
to assist well qualified students. After two years' difficult experience in locating
these men in hotel jobs in early April when placement usually begins, it has
seemed best to continue the first year schedule of classes to June. More sum-
mer hotels are being opened in mid- June or by July 1 so that satisfactory place-
ments can be secured then. This coming summer will see the first test of this
plan. Twenty men instead of ten as formerly have been accepted in the present
entering class for a probationary first semester. In this way it is hoped a more
careful selection of the group can be made on the basis of demonstrated fitness
and aptitude for this highly specialized field.

Stockbridge School Still Follows Original Policy

The two-year non-degree vocational program in agriculture, horticulture, and
related subjects which was originally established in 1918 as the "Two-Year
Course in Practical Agriculture" is still basically the same program in "The
Stockbridge School of Agriculture". With the full cooperation of the A-arious
college departments, it continues to provide the most effective and useful train-
ing possible in applied agriculture at a minimum of time and expense to the in-
dividual.

The first twenty years have produced a group of graduates who have ably
demonstrated their ability as "dirt farmers". Inevitably, many of them, be-
cause of native capacity and abilit}^ have won places of responsibility in their
vocations. Such results are to be expected and reflect the wisdom of the original
plan.

Summer School

Twenty-four credit courses were presented in the summer school program
of which eighteen were approved for graduate school work. Courses were given
by twelve members of the college faculty and two visiting instructors. Dr. Rus-
sell Noyes, M.S.C. 1924, Assistant Professor of English at Indiana University
and Principal Hiram E. Battey of Deerfield High School.

P.D. 31. 25

One hundred thirty-three students were enrolled in summer courses at the
College including fifty-seven graduate students. Seventeen students were en-
rolled in the Nature Guide School, held at the Girl Scout Training Camp at
Plymouth, and eight reported for the two-week pre-camp program.

Report of the Librarian

The Goodell Library now contains 117,529 books catalogued and on the
shelves. The net gain during the year was 4,220 books, the largest yearly gain
in the library's history. Even a small acceleration is cheering at a time of neces-
sary economy.

There are now fifty-three department or branch libraries on the Campus in
addition to those at Waltham and Wareham. Some have been discontinued and
others much enlarged in the attempt to keep pace with changing needs of the
departments and faculty.

The circulation of books outside the building fell off slightly during the year.
This is not necessarily a cause for regret, since it resulted apparently from in-
creased use of the reading-rooms for study. The library offers a qviiet place
for study and the student saves labor in carrying books long distances. In detail
the circulation was :

Literature 3,938

Social Sciences 2,263

History, biography and travel 1,916

Useful arts 1,721

Current periodicals 1,449

Fine Arts 1,208

Science 1 , 1 79

Bound periodicals 472

Philosophy 358

Religion 317

Language study 1 36

Pamphlets 1 26

International Relations Club 105

General reference works 74

Total :.- 1 7,475

Two thousand, one hundred and sixty-one reserve books were taken out over-
night. The months of largest circulation of books were March, 2274; April,
2144; January, 1939; November, 1928; and October, 1900.

The library building was open for use 342 days of the year.

In general the year has been one of quiet progress, but a few events stand
out. Two much-needed catalog cabinets were installed and the whole card
catalog was moved to the reference room. This move had been planned for,
when need arose, and has proved a distinct gain, since the reference room affords
plenty of daylight and much better space for consulting the catalog.

Much excellent and unusual work has been done in the book-repair depart-
ment, in a successful effort to reduce operating costs and to relieve the bindery
problem. We feel that other libraries throughout the state would profit by be-
coming acquainted with the new methods worked out here.

A considerable number of pictures have been added as a gift of the Federal
Art Projects; these have been mounted by the library and are ready for exhibit
and study. Some excellent fine-art posters, mostly the gift of Professor Waugh,
have been placed in departments and offices as long-time loans. These had
previously been mounted by the library staff so as to make them sate for hand-
ling. Since many of these posters are the work of famous artists, their use
around the campus seems to fill a long-felt want in livening otherwise dull walls

26 P.D. 31.

and in teaching art to our students. It is hoped that this service of the library
may be continued and even enlarged.

A few textiles have been hung on the walls of the library to soften and enrich
some spots which had seemed bare. A notable rug loaned by former Professor
Ashley and hung beside the main stairs has been a delight to all users of the
library. Gifts or loans of material of this sort, if of suitable quality, will be
welcomed by the library.

Report of the Director of Placement Service

In the past twelve months of Placement Service activities, these four points
stand out :

1. A return to a steady increase in placements of students and graduates after
a temporary decline last year.

2. An increase in the number of undergraduates placed on temporary jobs
for the summer months.

3. The inauguration of a registration and guidance service for the junior
class.

4. The beginning of a new program of required placement training for the
college undergraduates majoring in the Division of Agriculture.

Five hundred and forty-eight men and women obtained employment, either
permanent or temporary, through the activities of this department, an increase
of 20.6% over last year, and of 10.3% over the 1936-37 period.

In 1938, summer jobs were obtained for 92 students. This figure does not
include the required placement training assignments of the Stockbridge School
freshmen. In 1939, summer employment was obtained for 153 undergraduates,
an increase of 61 individuals or 39.8%. The hurricane of September 1938 was
responsible for a considerable part of this increase; approximately 25 students
were placed in Fire Hazard Reduction Camps scattered throughout Western
Massachusetts. These camps were operated by the New England Forest
Emergency Project under the Forest Service of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Employment in camps was limited to students interested in
Forestry or allied subjects and the wages received were very good. It is hoped
that this program will continue for at least another summer because the employ-
ment provided good training and a good summer's earnings to the students.

The Division of Agriculture, with the approval of the President and the
Trustees, put into effect a new ruling that students majoring in Agriculture
must work at least one summer during their undergraduate period on a farm
in order to gain practical experience. The requirement is to be effective starting
with the class of 1942. The program was outlined to all agricultural majors
by the Placement Department and eight men of the class of 1942 signified their
desire to be placed during the summer of 1939. These eight men were em-
ployed for the three months period as follows :

2 Animal Husbandry majors on dairy farms.

2 Agronomy majors, one placed on a dairy farm and one on a vegetable farm.

1 Poultry major on a poultry and fruit farm.

1 Dairy major in an ice cream and milk plant.

1 Agricultural Economics major on a poultry farm.

1 Agricultural Engineering major on a vegetable farm.

The best time for students to take this placement is between the freshman
and sophomore years and all are urged to get it out of the way before the junior
year if possible. Next ^^ear there will be freshmen and sophomores to place
and the following years freshmen, sophomores, and juniors so that the number
to be placed each season will be in the vicinity of 25 to 30.

The table shows quite an increase in the number of jobs available, but, as in
the past, a number of these openings were not of the calibre desired by college
graduates, or in other cases good candidates for the openings were not available
because such men were already satisfactorily employed. It does seem that too
many openings are wasted and we will try to do something about it.

The occupational activities of our graduating class of 1939 indicate a con-
tinuation of the increasing trend towards more formal education. Sixty-three
graduates are enrolled in graduate and professional schools as compared with
fifty-two in the 1938 class. The number of graduates in business and industry,
twenty-eight, is under the 1938 record but more students are entering the gov-
ernment services and the U. S. Army.

Although the general economic situation was very unfavorable immediately
after graduation in June, the situation has improved within recent months. The
number of unemployed members of this class is nineteen as compared with
twenty-seven for the 1938 class as reported a year ago.

The fact that more graduates of our college are registering for employment
indicates that the facilities of the Placement Service are more eagerly sought
after.

28 P.D. 31.

Senior Placement and Guidance

This year we inaugurated a registration and guidance service for juniors to
make students conscious of job-finding techniques and requirements before
reaching their senior year.

At least fifty per cent of our students need guidance in choosing occupations
and in finding jobs. By means of the personal interview the Placement Officer
can direct the student's tliought and action so that he can conduct his job-finding
campaign more effectively. College men today find the competition keen. The
time is long since past when every college graduate was sought for. Now he
must learn, to sell his efforts to the prospective employer.

Of this total, $16,820.69, was contributed by the N. Y. A. and $5,000.00 by
the Special Emergency Fund. Our annual report of last year contained a com-
prehensive report of the many departments that were served by the student
employment program. We have continued to assign students according to this
broad plan established a number of years ago. That the labor furnished under
the student employment program has been an important contribution to the
economy of the College is indicated by the fact that all departments are request-
ing the assignment of students in order that limited budgets might be aug-
mented.

The demand for student aid continues to be as great as formerly. The alleged
need of our st.udent body totals $120,000.00. Undoubtedly the actual need is
substantially lower than this figure because very few students leave College
because of lack of finances.

Report of Placement Work for Women

During the past year there were 286 calls for positions to be filled, but. as
is always the case, some of these calls were for women with more highly
specialized or different experience and training than the candidates possessed.
However, 41 permanent and 131 temporary positions were filled, making a total
of 172.

Filling these positions calls for many student interviews, and these, as far as
possible, are used as a means of giving vocational information. In the fall of
their senior year, all women students were given an opportunity for an inter-
view concerning their vocational plans after graduation. As much help as
possible is given to these seniors in preparing them for positions after grad-
uation. Such aid is also given to graduates of the College whenever opportunity
oflfers.

All junior women were given a chance for an interview in the fall so that
the Placement Office could assist them in making vocational plans and also in
finding summer work in the field they desired to enter after graduation.

Freshman and sophomore women were invited to register if they desired
summer work. In this way, the Placement Officer has a better chance to be-
come acquainted with the students and to help them later on.

A course in vocational opportunities is given in the second semester to fresh-
man women of the College and in the first semester to the women of the Stock-

P.D. 31.

bridge School of Agriculture. In March, at the request of the Women's Student
Government Association, three talks were given to senior women on getting
positions in June.

Freshman women in the Stockbridge School of Agriculture were placed for
their six months' required placement training, and supervisory visits were made
after they had begun their work.

Employment opportunities were more plentiful during the past year than
for the previous twelve months ; 57 seniors were placed as against 43, and only 2
men were unemployed as against 10 in 1938. The first class in Hotel Steward-
ing, numbering 8 was graduated in June and all graduates obtained satisfactory
beginning employment, five of them because of their own previous contacts.
The department is gradually building up and broadening its contacts in this

There was excessively large mortality in the class of 1940 which started place-
ment training- in April 1939. This class started out with 200 members in the
fall, but class failures, sickness, lack of finances, lack of interest in the subjects,
etc., resulted in withdrawals of students to the extent that only 133 started place-
ment in April, and of this number only 100 returned in October as seniors,
making a loss of fifty per cent which is high. In my opinion this particular
entering class as a whole was poorly prepared scholastically and perhaps lacked
interest and adaptability. The 33 men who dropped out after their period of
placement training are accounted for as follows : not interested in the subject — 3 ;
failed in placement training — 3 ; lack of finances causing them to stay on the
job a year — 6 ; poor health — 2 ; attend college — 1 ; return to the home project
— 5 ; unknown — 6 ; failure in class work in the spring term — 7.

In the Hotel Stewarding course the two previous placement training seasons
have shown that it is practically impossible to obtain a full six months' employ-
ment for these men, so that starting in 1940 this group will continue in school
until the close of the college year early in June and will be placed for a period
of four months only, June to October.

Report of the Director of the Experiment Station

The report of the Director, of the Experiment Station, F. J. Sievers, is pub-
lished in a separate bulletin, obtainable on request.

Report of the Director of the Extension Service

One of the major undertakings of the Extension Service during the past year
was the development of a working basis for coordination of the programs of
various state and federal agencies operating in Massachusetts so that farm
families might use these agencies more effectively. To carry out this plan,
community committees were formed in 45 agricultural towns in seven counties
of the state and assigned the task of working out long-time programs of agri-
cultural land use, based on the conditions and possibilities of the land within the
towns. Additional committees will be formed as this program proceeds.

Several of these committees have prepared rather complete reports and have
made recommendations for the use of all agencies dealing with the rural people
of those towns. In one county enough town committees have made reports so
that a county committee will soon be appointed to adapt the town recommenda-
tions into a county development plan.

In 1938 a State Rural Policy Committee was formed to act as a clearing house
for recommendations from the various town and county committees. This com-
mittee has found several problems in need of its action. For example, the
development of the forestry resources of the state has become a problem of
major importance. Several agencies of the federal government, as well as state

P.D. 31. 31

agencies, are concerned with forests, and various recommendations have been
advanced. The State Rural Policy Committee has brought together the repre-
sentatives of the agencies concerned and is attempting to develop a workable
forest development plan for Massachusetts.

The Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of
Agriculture has employed a man to work with the Massachusetts Extension
Service in giving guidance to this program.

As in past years, the Extension Service has developed and carried out its
regular teaching programs with the cooperation and advice of those benefiting
by the service. Apple growers, for example, meet with the county agents and
the representatives of the state extension service in deciding on what problems
need most emphasis during the year, and how the time of the extension workers
may best be spent. These growers may decide to give most emphasis, during
some period to problems of marketing, and less to problems of growing. Sim-
ilarly, farmer committees give guidance to the programs for dairymen, vegetable
growers, poultrymen, and others. This same procedure is followed in develop-
ing and carrying out home economics programs for rural women.

Programs for Agriculture

The hurricane of September 21, 1938 created pressing and immediate problems
for A'lassachusetts farm families. During the year, extension workers have given
assistance and advice on repairing and rebuilding farm structures, on obtaining
credit, on straightening and caring for thousands of partially uprooted apple
trees, and in salvaging millions of feet of hurricane timber. Other state and
federal agencies have cooperated in this work, and the coordination developed
through this hurricane program should prove extremely valuable in the long-
time coordination program mentioned above.

Assistance to farm groups in marketing their products has continued as in
previous years. This year, there were two outstanding examples of coopera-
tive marketing action among farmers and government agencies set up to assist
farm groups. The first action occurred in apple marketing and came about as
a result of the cutting off of the apple export market when war broke out in
Europe. The ]Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association, several apple marketing
cooperatives, and the Extension Service began an organized drive to move the
crop. Arrangements were made with chain stores and other retailers to reduce
the nlargin between the wholesale price and the retail price and to use special
advertising and promotion methods to increase the consumption of apples. The
Federal Sui-plus Commodities Corporation bought a considerable quantity of
apples for distribution to the needy.

A similar procedure was adopted to help squash growers dispose of an un-
usually large crop this fall. Farmer committees, the State Department of Agri-
culture, the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, the Extension Service,
and retail and wholesale distributors cooperated in maintaining an orderly
market.

Soil conservation is another feature of extension work that has been in-
creasing in importance during the past few years, both through regular exten-
sion programs and through the work of the Agricultural Conservation program.
This year the United States Soil Conservation Service employed a man to
work with the Extension Service in Massachusetts, in handling the growing
requests from farmers for information on maintaining and improving soil fer-
tility. Many of these requests have been brought about because of the promi-
nence which the national Agricultural Conservation Program has given to the
conservation of agricultural resources. In Massachusetts this year enrollment
in the Agricultural Conservation Program increased from 10,000 to 14,000
and payments to farmers increased from approximately $400,000 to about
$600,000. These increases may be attributed to two factors : first, the program
has made funds available for clearing up hurricane-damaged woodlands so as to
reduce the fire hazard ; and second, farmers may now receive lime and super-
phosphate in lieu of cash payments for improving their farmlands.

32 P.D. 31.

Approximately 3,000 farmers and woodland owners applied for payments to
clear up their woodlands and about 30,000 acres were approved for this work
by local farmer committees. Under the new provision for distribution of
materials in lieu of cash payments, farmers received 15,500 tons of lime and
1,780 tons of triple superphosphate.

The acreage allotment feature of the program affected the growers of potatoes,
tobacco, and vegetables, and growers complied to a remarkable degree with
their acreage allotments. Success of the Agricultural Conservation Program
depends very largely on the administration vested in the county committees.
These committees deserve great credit for the efficient way in which they have
handled their work during the year just past.

More and more, the Agricultural Conservation Program is increasing the
demands on extension workers. For example, the forest clean-up program
was headed by the extension forester ; the soil building program stimulated re-
quests for soil-testing. Altogether farmers requested more than 5,000 tests this
past year so that they might know the proper amounts of lime or superphosphate
to apply and also how much and what kinds of fertilizer were needed.

Mouse control in orchards was stressed this year because of the exposed con-
dition of the roots of many apple trees, disturbed by the hurricane. Rat control
in poultry houses also received considerable attention, particularly in the re-
modeling of wind-damaged structures.

One of the important and long-time programs of the service is the improve-
ment of pastures and haylands so that dairy farmers may produce more of their
own feed and hence save on purchased grains. This is not a project that shows
spectacular results in any one year and yet over a period of time it helps farmers
to a considerable degree. Thus alfalfa was introduced some years ago to ]\Iassa-
chusetts farms and is now a standard crop. In 1928, Ladino clover was first
brought into the state, and since that time has proved valuable as a feed and
pasture plant. Three years ago 600 acres were seeded. Last year, farmers
seeded another 1,500 acres, and this year they planted another 2,500 acres to
Ladino.

Another program for dairymen consisted of a series of winter institutes con-
ducted by county agents with the assistance of the extension agronomist, the
extension animal husbandman, and the extension specialist in farm manage-
ment. At these meetings, which were held in every dairy county of the state,
farmers considered improvements which could be made in a typical dairy farm
over a five-year period to put that farm on a more profitable basis. The series
proved quite successful and will be followed up this year in a series of insti-
tutes in which farmers will consider possible improvements in their own partic-
ular plants.

During the past year, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitu-
tionality of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1937 under which New England
dairymen were operating in supplying the Boston market. This decision re-
leased more than two million dollars to New England dairymen which had been
tied up pending the outcome of this test. It also aided materially in stabiliz-
ing market conditions. At the present time, milk marketing agreements are
in effect in Boston, Lowell-Lawrence, Fall River, and New Bedford. Berkshire
county dairymen shipping milk to New York City operate under a New York
agreement. These agreements are made to bring about more orderly marketing
and to give dairymen some assurance of a fair price for their product.

Extension workers in Barnstable and Plymouth counties this year completed
a three-year campaign for the control of false blossom disease, which at one
time seriously threatened the important cranberry industry. Data obtained re-
cently from growers indicate that 75 per cent of the cranberry acreage is now
under the disease control plan, and that in some areas as high as 90 per cent
of the acreage is receiving proper treatment.

Moving pictures have become an important means of extension teaching,
particularly if the pictures are filmed in the state and are applicable to local
farm and home problems. The extension service now lias a library of 18 dift'er-

P.D. 31. 33

ent films available to groups throughout the state. Most of these fihiis are de-
signed to appeal to both the producer and the consumer of Massachusetts farm
products.

Space does not permit a report of all activities for Massachusetts farmers.
The highlights enumerated, however, may suffice to indicate that the extension
service is attempting to remain in close relationship with the basic problems of
agriculture in this state and that its educational programs are being guided by
farmers themselves in a way that is bringing measurable results.

The year 1939 marked the 25th anniversary of extension work under the
Smith-Lever Act and the anniversary was observed by all branches of the ex-
tension service throughout the nation. In Massachusetts the occasion was ob-
served by giving recognition to those volunteer leaders who have given freely
of their time and efforts during the past quarter century to aid in this educa-
tional movement. Trustees of county extension services, county commissioners,
local program leaders, and others connected with the work in an unpaid capacity
have made it possible for the service to reach the people and to serve the people
during this time. Only through their leadership could the achievements of the
past twenty-five years have been possible.

As a record of the accomplishments up to 1939, the Extension Service pub-
lished a series of three reports which were made available to anyone interested
in the work. One report covered the accomplishments of agriculture, one dealt
with progress in home economics, and one was devoted to the achievements of
4-H club work.

Home Economics Programs

Extension Service programs in home economics are designed to give assist-
ance in problems of nutrition, clothing, child development, home management,
recreation, and improvement of the home and the home grounds. In recent
years, however, homemakers have come to consider these problems not only
in the light of their own personal and family needs, but also in terms of im-
proved community living. Local committees of homemakers have been formed
in many towns of the state and are working with the home demonstration agents
and extension specialists in developing and carrying out long range programs
bearing on these problems.

Some of these committees, for example, have been cooperating in the Rural
Policy programs described previously in this report. They have worked on such
problems as hot lunches for school children, recreation facilities for the youth
of the community, and improved health facilities.

An important consideration in any program is leadership. As in past years,
special leader-training conferences have been held throughout the state so that
local volunteer leaders may receive assistance in carrying on their teaching and
community activities.

Health surveys, findings of well-child conferences, and reports of pediatri-
cians, dentists, psychiatrists, and nurses have indicated a real problem in health
of adults and children. An effort has been made this past year to get home-
makers to study family health from a broader angle than just the physical needs.
This has involved a study of family relationships, home management and money
management, and other problems.

A program entitled "Better Living from the Farm" has emphasized the devel-
opment of poultry flocks and vegetable gardens together with canning and stor-
age as a supplement to family health.

Getting the most out of each dollar spent is an important problem to most
people, rural or urban. It is perhaps especially important to those rural families
whose incomes do not exceed $1,000 to $1,500 yearly, and many farm families
receive even less than this amount. Because of the need for careful spending,
many homemakers have requested information that will help them get the most
value for their money. Recent extension programs in home economics have
offered this type of consumer assistance.

34 P.D. 31.

Radio is being used more and more as a teaching method in home economics
activities. Many home demonstration agents now speak on regular schedules
from local broadcasting stations, and state extension specialists also use this
method of reaching a wider audience. Homemakers often appear as guest
speakers on these programs.

Until recently, each of the various skills of homemaking was taught as a
separate project. The nutrition specialist, for example, would conduct her pro-
grams independently of the work of the clothing specialist or the specialist in
child development and parent education. The past few years, however, have
seen a trend in the direction of more coordinated programs that have considered
the whole job of homemaking. Last year the various extension specialists united
in presenting such programs as "Family Life Today", in which all problems
bearing on this one subject were considered. That this type of program is
proving popular with homemakers may be seen in the repeated requests for
continuation of this series.

Another indication of the broadness of the thinking of women today is seen
in the family relationship programs requested by local committees of home-
makers. Under this program women are studying values of home and family
life which they wish to conserve. Realizing that no community is any better
than the homes which comprise it, these women are carrying on group discus-
sions to analyze the factors of successful living and to learn how these factors
may be secured in the home.

With low incomes, more and more families have turned to home recreation
rather than the commercial type. They have asked for assistance in homemade
games and recreation which the whole family will enjoy and in developing
their home grounds for outdoor recreation. Recreation for the community has
also been planned by groups of homemakers who have promoted such facilities
as community bathing beaches, basketball courts, tennis courts, and picnic areas.

More than 42,000 Massachusetts families were served this year through reg-
ular project programs and single meetings on various home economics subjects.

4-H Club Programs

Many persons feel that 4-H club work provides a most significant form of
extension teaching, because this program brings education to minds that are
fresh and plastic. It is the privilege of those who work with youth to show
them the opportunities about them and to endeavor to arouse the necessary
interest that will drive young, people to successful accomplishment. There are
certain groups of young people who find joy and satisfaction in manual accom-
plishment. It is to this group that club work appeals, and some 20,000 young
people between the ages of ten and twenty-one have been enrolled in the various
4-H clubs this past year.

This year electricity was added to the list of projects, making ten major lines
of study available for those who enroll in the work. The list of state camps
for leadership training was also expanded with the addition of a one-week
music camp.

As club work has grown with the years, the duties and responsibilities of
county club agents have also expanded. This expansion has now grown to the
point where it is necessary for community committees to take over part of this
burden, to assist the agent in reaching more boys and girls, and to find leaders
for new clubs. During the past year, eleven new community committees were
formed, and 101 new local leaders volunteered to take over the supervision of
local clubs. The total number of local leaders, 2,300, is still below the record
set in 1935 when WPA funds were available for the employment of paid leaders,
but gradually this high point is being regained.

One of the ever-present problems of club work is the development of sound
programs that will hold the interest of older youth and contribute to their educa-
tion in citizenship. Some years ago the idea was evolved of forming service
clubs for members who had "graduated" through the regular project work.

P.D. 31. 35

Some of these clubs, however, devoted themselves largely to social activities.
Now, the trend is for service clubs to take on project requirements and to
carry on such functions as fund-raising for worthy club members, providing
leadership for clubs, and assisting in community enterprises. It is hoped that
this trend will continue during the coming year.

One by one the counties of the state are adopting the idea of annual gatherings
with banquets for members who have been in the work five years. Parents
and other adult friends of club work are invited and the meal is served by the
club members. This plan is proving successful as a means of acquainting adults
with the aim and purposes of club work in the community.

It is difficult for many farm boys to get away in the summer to attend the
various state camps held on the college campus. This past year a special week-
end camp was provided which included judging in dairy, poultry, garden, handi-
craft, and conservation projects. True or false tests in club work were also
presented. A football game and a banquet provided recreational features. One
hundred and fifty boys attended, and it was felt that this type of program pro-
vided a good incentive to better club work for those boys who cannot attend
the regular camps.

This year the Massachusetts Extension Service is cooperating with a repre-
sentative of the United States Department of Agriculture in conducting studies
to determine the efficiency of the club program in teaching subject matter in
homemaking and agriculture. Garden, canning, dairy and clothing projects
were selected as the basis for the test. The purpose of the survey is to compare
the knowledge acquired in a year's time by 4-H club members as against a check
group of non-members in the same subjects. No report on results is yet avail-
able as the study will continue into 1940.

WiLLARD A. MUNSON,

Report of the Treasurer

The financial report of the College for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1939
is submitted herewith.

The funds in the custody of the Treasurer for the support of the various educa-
tional activities at the College are divided into five groups as follows :

1. State Funds

2. Federal Funds

3. Endowment Funds

4. Revolving Loan Funds

5. Trust Funds

State Funds

These funds are appropriated by the General Court for the current mainten-
ance of the College and for special purposes as designated. The appropriation
for maintenance for 1939 was $1,121,713.32 which was $2,906.68 less than that
of the preceding year. The operations of the year for current maintenance under
this fund are shown in Schedule A.

The most significant fact in the operations with State appropriations for the
year was the inadequacy of appropriations for personal service. Even though
the normal step increases in salary for persons with salaries above $2,000 were
withheld and though the employment of temporary labor was drastically cur-
tailed, our expenditures for the year exceeded appropriations by the amount of
$8,650.87. In order to show no deficit in the total account, corresponding sav-
ings had to be made in expenditures for maintenance with the result that repairs
and the replacement of equipment, which should have been cared for during the
year, were postponed.

36 P.D. 31.

In addition to the appropriation for current maintenance as indicated above,
there was received from the State an appropriation of $88,400 for the operation
of the Dining Hall and the report of income and disbursements in this account
will be found in Schedule B. This is the first full year of operation of the Din-
ing Hall with appropriated funds. The report indicates that receipts from
operation which have been returned to the State Treasury exceed expenditures
by approximately $10,000. Since it is the policy of the Trustees to operate
this enterprise without profit, we expect to adjust our rate of board so as to
more nearly equalize receipts and disbursements.

Special appropriations by the General Court for 1939 and balances brought
forv/ard from preceding years are reported in Schedule C.

No funds were provided this year for additions or improvements to the physi-
cal plant, although fifteen projects were included in the budget approved by the
Trustees and submitted to the Budget Commissioner. The result is that several
seriously needed improvements are not provided for such as the roof to the
Engineering Laboratory, the overhauling of the main Power Plant generator,
renewal of old electric wiring plans and other similar needed repairs. It is
possible that we shall face an emergency in some of these before provision for
them can be made by the ne-xt Legislature.

Attention is called particularly to the analysis of the net cost to the State for
current maintenance of the College and Boarding Hall for this year as shown in
Schedule D. As indicated, total receipts returned to the State Treasurer
amounted to $437,840.55, which if deducted from total State expenditures, indi-
cate a net cost of the College to the Commonwealth of $762,588.61. This com-
pares with a similar figure for the preceding year of $797,100.88 and shows
that the net cost of the College to the Commonwealth for the year just closed
was $34,512.27 less than the net cost of the preceding year. This is the lowest
net cost figure since 1936. A major item of increase in receipts is one of
$13,000 from the sale of logs from the Mt. Toby Forest, which, of course, is
not a recurrent item.

Federal Funds

These are appropriations of the Federal Government for current maintenance
in the fields of Resident Instruction, Experiment Station and Extension Service.
The total regular appropriation of Federal Funds for the Federal fiscal year last
closed is $356,884.43, which is an increase of $2,307.66 over the appropriation
of the preceding year. This increase is almost entirely in the funds of the
Experiment Station.

Schedule A shows the consolidated report of receipts and disbursements of
State and Federal Funds for the year and Schedule A-2 is a detail of the appro-
priation of Federal Funds.

Endowment Funds

There are twenty-three funds held in perpetuity by the Trustees, each repre-
senting a gift to the College, the income of which is available for use in accord-
ance with the terms of the gift or bequest. These funds are invested and the
investment list is shown in Schedule H. The market value of securities and
other investments of endowment funds on November 30, 1939 was $147,340.07,
which is an increase of $6,089.75 over the value of the preceding year. A
partial payment of $16.49 on the bequest of C. C. Hardy was the only addition
to endowment received during the year.

The income from Endowment Funds for the year including interest on student
loans was $7,159.60. There was a return of 4.5% upon invested funds. The
operations of the income account of Endowment Funds for the year are shown
in Schedule F.

Revolving Loan Funds

Funds for loans to students are of three different types. The income from
the D. K. Bangs Endowment Fund is used to a certain extent fo^r this pur-

P.D. 31. 37

pose and formerly the income from the Charles A. Gleason Fund was so used.
Then there are four funds which have been given to the College the principal
and income of which are available for loans to students. Finally, there is the
Lotta Agricultural Fund which is in the custody of the Trustees of the Lotta
Crabtree Estate but which is available for loans to students upon notes approved
by the Dean and the Trustees of the College. No interest is charged upon Lotta
Fund loans. The rate of interest for other student loans is 4%. The operation
of these student loan funds for the year is shown in Schedule G.

Trust Funds

The General Court in 1939 amended Chapter 75 of the General Laws by
adding Section 5A which specifically authorizes the operation of the College
Store, academic and athletic activities and other like activities as trust fund
enterprises under the authority of the Trustees, retaining receipts and expending
same for furthering the enterprises on a revolving fund basis. This action by
the General Court presumably decides a question which has been raised fre-
quently in the past by the auditor as to the authority of the Trustees to operate
such trust fund enterprises.

As in every college, these enterprises are extensive. The total receipts and
disbursements of funds in this category for the year ended November 30, 1939
were:

Receipts $221,924.15

Disbursements $219,409.37

These funds are subdivided into four groups as follows :

1. Student Activities Funds

2. Cooperative Research Funds

3. Scholarship, Loan and Prize Funds

4. Miscellaneous Trust Funds

The enterprises for which funds are handled in the Student Activities group
are:

1. College Store

2. Athletic Department

3. Academic Activities

4. Class Funds

5. United Religious Council

6. Social Union and Game Room

These are typical revolving fund enterprises carried on for the benefit of
strdents. The operations of the more important for this fiscal year are shown
in separate schedules I-l, 1-2, 1-3.

specific research programs. There was received during the year $10,686.66
for this purpose.

Special gifts for scholarships, loans and prizes amounted to $2,055.45 during
the year.

Summary

It is evident from the foregoing that the responsibility of the Treasurer to
the Board of Trustees is for the accounting and management of a variety of
funds including the public grants of the State and Federal Governments, private
endowments, and funds froni private sources used for the operation of student
activities and auxiliary college enterprises and which are classified in our ac-
count as Trust Funds.

SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST

The course of study at Massachusetts State is divided into seven major
fields: agriculture, horticulture, physical and biological sciences, liberal
arts, physical education, general engineering, and home economics. Work
in a large number of specialized studies within these seven divisions leads
to either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree.

Personal conferences v^ith Dean Machmer and other members of the
college staff are designed to interpret the opportunities for higher educa-
tion offered at Massachusetts State.

Visitors to the campus on May 4th will also have an opportunity to
inspect classrooms and laboratories and learn, first hand, from members of
the faculty of the work offered in the seven divisions of the curriculum.

Miss Edna Skinner, adviser of women, and Miss Margaret Hamlin,
vocational counselor for women, will greet all women visitors in Memorial
Hall on the morning of High School Day.

Mr. Roland H. Verbeck, director of short courses and head of the
Stockbridge School of Agriculture, will be in his office in South College
until noon on May 4th to explain opportunities afforded by the Stock-
bridge School, a two-year course in vocational agriculture.

The President's Letter

To Alumni and Friends of Massachusetts State College :

The Seventieth Commencement at Massachusetts State College will ever be a
memorable occasion for it comes at a time of singular progress in the physical develop-
ment of the College. Those of you who come to our Campus this June will see the
rising structures of two new dormitories — one for men, one for women students. The
addition of these new dormitories would in itself be a notable occurrence in the history
of the College. The fact that the dormitories were financed on a self-liquidating basis
by our Alumni makes this achievement even more significant.

To the members of the senior class who are now leaving the College to take
their place in our Alumni body, these new buildings are a challenge and an inspira-
tion. To friends of the College who will visit with us at Commencement time, these
buildings should be significant as an addition to your State College created by loyal
Alumni rather than through tax money.

It is with special pleasure, therefore, that I invite and urge you to join with us
this June in the celebration of our Seventieth Commencement.

Two unusually gifted speakers are taking part in this year's exercises. The Honor-
able David I. Walsh, United States Senator from Massachusetts, will speak at the
Graduation exercises on Monday, June 10. Dr. Paul D. Moody, President of Middle-
bury College, will address the seniors at the Baccalaureate exercises on Sunday,
June 9.

My sincere hope is that Alumni and friends of the College everywhere may be
with us in June to share in this, the Seventieth Commencement of Massachusetts
State College.

Cordially yours,

Hugh P. Baker.

THE STOCKBRTDGE SCHOOL OF AGHICI LTI RE

A Two-Year Course in Practical Agriculture

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture, organized in 1918, is a separate
and distinct department of the College providing training of a strictly
vocational type in the fields of agriculture and horticulture.

Nine programs of study are offered, one of which must be selected by
each student and completed as specified for the school diploma. The
present list of offerings includes :

Division of Agriculture

1. *Animal Husbandry ..... . (see page 20)

2. *Dairy Manufactures ( " " 22 >

3. Poultry Husbandry ( " " 25)

Division of Horticulture

1. Floriculture .....

2. Fruit Growing ....

3. *Hotel Stewarding .....

4. Ornamental Horticulture

5. Vegetable Gardening

6. Wildlife Management

Since its organization at the request of the Massachusetts Legislature,
the school has registered over 2,500 students, graduated twenty-one
classes numbering more than 1,600 members, and enrolled for the last
school year (1939-40) 296 young men and women.

The largest number of students come from Massachusetts, but all the
New England States are usually represented in the student body.

The value of this kind of concentrated, technical schooling, aiming
directly toward preparation for a definite field of work, is amply demon-
strated by the useful careers of our graduates.

General Information

Entrance Conditions: — The school program is open to any student
who is seventeen years old or over and who has completed at least an
elementary school course or its equivalent. There are no entrance
examinations.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is not intended for students
already enrolled in high schools. Such students should finish the high
school course if possible. Students in high schools who wish to take the
course should bring a statement either from the principal of the high
school or from the parent or guardian, indicating the reasons for such
a change.

A graduate of a Massachusetts county school of agriculture or of an
agricultural department of a high school in this state, may complete the
course for a diploma in one year, if he is recommended by the director of
the school or the agricultural instructor. He must show a satisfactorv
record of practical experience and training which can be accepted in
place of the first year Stockbridge program. This arrangement cannot
apply to the Hotel Stewarding program and rarely to Horticulture. Ex-
cessive enrolments in Animal Husbandry and Dairy Manufactures beyond
capacity of present teaching staff, laboratories, and placement service to
handle effectively, forces limited classes of 35 and 25 respectively, in these
two major subjects. Therefore, this plan cannot apply to any limited
courses so designated herein.

How to Enrol. — Fill out application blank in back of catalog giving
all information requested.. Be sure to indicate course you wish to elect.
Mail this form, with citizenship certificate in back of catalog, to Director
of Short Courses. If application is accepted you will be notified, and

certificate of citizenship will be kept on file until you register. In Animal
Husbandry and Dairy Manufactures, restricted classes require special
data as explained on supplementary application sheet in back of cataloj?.
No fees are required until registration.

Registration. — Registration will be held in Memorial Hall on Mon-
day, September 30, for freshmen, and Tuesday, October 1, for seniors. All
freshmen students should be on campus from the day of registration
until classes open on Thursday to meet required appointments for mental
tests, physical examinations, and individual photographs for ofl[ice
records, and to have class schedules and individual programs explained.

Limited Courses. — Failure to complete registration on date desig-
nated (on school calendar^ without notifying this office in advance so
that vacancy can be filled from reserve list, will forfeit any further con-
sideration of an approved applicant in a limited enrolment course.

Instruction. — Instruction is given by the college teaching staff
through classroom teaching, laboratory exercises and practical work. The
work of the classroom is supplemented by demonstration work in the
laboratory, dairy room, greenhouse and stables. It is designed to offer
fundamental information, and to establish the underlying reasons as well
as the special methods employed in the various operations. The advan-
tages of the college instructors and the college plant with all its resources
are thus made available to young men and women electing this type of
training.

Credit and Diploma. — In order to obtain a diploma a student is ex-
pected to have completed satisfactorily all the work called for in the
general course which he has selected. A student failing to pass the re-
quirements of summer placement training, after a suitable job has been
assigned him, is not eligible for graduation until this deficiency is made
UD, and may not be allowed to enrol for the second year, if the Director
of Placement Service considers his record to be unsatisfactory.

Graduation Requirement. — No student will be graduated unless all
bills due the college are paid on or before the Wednesday preceding
graduation exercises. If paid after that date, and otherwise eligible, he
may be graduated the following year.

Diplomas and letters of honorable dismissal will be withheld from all
students who have not paid bills due the College, or legitimate bills due
private individuals or business concerns.

A diploma will not be awarded to any senior, if in arrears to either
Club at time of graduation. All bills for second semester, senior year,
must be settled with the respective Clubs not later than June 1.

Attendance at commencement sermon and graduation exercises are
reauired of seniors.

Seniors who have borrowed from the Goldthwait Loan Fund will have
diplomas retained by the College until they have paid up loans in full.

Scholarship Regulations. — At the close of each semester students re-
ceive a formal report showing the standings given in the subjects pursued
by them.

If a student's semester mark in any subject falls below 60 per cent, he
is thereby failed (F) in the subject. He shall be debarred from taking
the final examination in that subject and must repeat it with the follow-
ing class.

If the average of the semester mark and the final examination is below
60 percent, the student is thereby conditioned (#).

Student grades will be recorded at the end of the seventh week of each
semester and again at the end of the semester. The Faculty Committee
will consider all questionable grades after each marking period, and in-
structors will note on grade reports the names of all students whose work
is seriously deficient.

When a student's record indicates failures or uniformly poor work, the
Faculty Committee may recommend a close supervision of his work by

the faculty adviser in his major course, or, if his scholastic grades dis-
qualify him from further work in the school, he may be asked to with-
draw at any time.

A first year student who has deficient scholastic work at the end of the
first semester in February shall not be eligible for placement training
until his work meets the required standard.

At the end of any semester a student who has a failure in more than
one subject or is conditioned in more than two subjects may be dismissed.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Absences from Class

(1) No unexcused absences will be allowed from classes. (2) All
excuses for absence shall be presented by the student in writing, and, if
approved by the Director, an excuse card will be granted to be signed by
the instructor. Excuse cards must be returned promptly to the oflflce
when properly signed. (3) Students presenting excuse cards covering
absences are expected to make up all work missed, to the satisfaction of
the instructor. (4) Instructors are directed to reduce final grades five
points for each unexcused absence occurring on a student's record at the
end of any semester. (5) No excuses will be accepted at the Short
Course Office unless presented within two days after the student re-
turns to classes. (6) Two tardinesses unexcused shall count as one
absence. (7) Absences from classes immediately before or after a
holiday are not allowed except by special permission. (8) The Short
Course Office requires all students to report at once any illness to the
college physician, particularly if absence from class is likely to result
from the illness. (9) Students failing to observe these rules are placed
on probation, and may be asked to withdraw from the course if further
violations occur.

Absences from Examinations or Tests

(1) Any student who absents himself from an appointed examination
without sufficient cause shall be given zero thereon. In such case he shall
not be entitled to a make-up examination unless the Director so requests.
A previously announced test may, at the discretion of the instructor, be
regarded as a test or as an examination.

(2) Every absence taken before enrolment (the signing of the regis-
tration card by the teacher) in a class will be counted.

Student Expenses

Tuition. — A tuition fee of $50 per semester is charged students, resi-
dents of Massachusetts, enrolled in the Stockbridge School of Agri-
culture. Students who are not residents of Massachusetts are charged
a tuition fee of $110 each semester. The tuition per semester, charged
persons not citizens of the United States is $110. Students entering
from Massachusetts, unless of voting age themselves, are required to
file a statement signed by either town or city clerk, stating that the-
applicant's parent is a legal resident of Massachusetts. (See form in
back of catalog.)

The necessary college expenses are estimated as follows: Tuition, foi-
citizens of Massachusetts, first year, first semester, $50; second semester
(eight weeks only) $25, total $75. Second year, first semester, $50;
second semester, $50, total $100. Total cost of tuition for full course,
$175.

Students not residents of Massachusetts pay $110 tuition fee first year,
first semester, and $55 second semester (eight weeks only). Total tuition,
first year $165. Second year, $110 each semester, total $220. Total tui-
tion cost both years, $385.

Variation in Charges for Two Major Courses

half semesters. Tuition $100 for Massachusetts citizens; for out-of-state
students $220. Expenses for board, room, and incidentals will be §100
more than estimated cost for other major courses listed below. Placement
in the Hotel Stewarding Course does not begin until June 1, and students
have to complete two semesters of resident study each year.

Poultry Husbandry Course. — Because of early placement, one month
before other majors, students complete only one and one-quarter sem-
esters work the first year.

Tuition fees and special taxes in full are payable at the Treasurer's
Office not later than one week after classes begin for each semester.
Delinquent students will be immediately suspended from classes until
payments are made. All checks payable to the College should b« made
out to Treasurer, Massachusetts State College.

A student who withdraws from college for any reason before a sem-
ester is half completed will have refunded to him one-half the fees paid
for that semester, but one who leaves after completing more than the
half semester will be allowed no rebate of fees.

The placement training period between the first and second year usu-
ally enables a student to earn from $150 to $300 depending upon his skill
and general ability, and the type of work. Of this amount $100 to $200
should be saved to apply to the expenses of the second year.

Prospective students should understand that the above estimates cover
expenses which may be called strictly college expenses, and that there are
other financial obligations voluntarily placed upon students which they
should expect to meet. Chief among these are class assessments and taxes
levied for maintenance of various organizations, such as the Social Union.
Athletic Association, weekly publications, etc. Such expenses vary from
$15 to $30 a year. Additional financial responsibility is also assumed by
students joining clubs or entering into other social activities of the col-
lege. Besides the amount necessary for clothes and traveling, the
economical student will probably spend between $300 and $400 for the
first year of one and one-half semesters in residence, and $400 to $500
for the second year of two semesters.

Rooms

Dormitory rooms are available only to students of the four year college

course. Private homes in the town furnish the only source of rooms for
Stockbridge students.

Rooms are inspected by the student health officer and students are
expected to make their own rooming arrangements from a list of ap-
proved places available at the Short Course Office. This listing is not
available until after September 1. Students select their own rooms. The
Short Course Office does not make any reservations.

Board

Stockbridge freshmen are not required to secure meals in College cafe-
teria, but can do so if more convenient.

A number of public restaurants or dining rooms are located close to
the college where most students arrange for meal service, usually approxi-
mating $1.00 a day, with allowances made if student goes home on week-
ends, class schedule permitting.

A new student had best sample the various places to find the one suited
to his needs, or where he can meet with congenial members of his class
group. This arrangement is entirely a personal affair, like the choice of
a room, and the School assumes no direct responsibility for such services
in any way.

Books and Supplies

For the convenience of students the College maintains a store service
in North College. Here all textbooks may be purchased at cost plus trans-
portation charges. Students are informed at the first class session in each
course what books are required and must secure individual copies accord-
ing to order list sent in by instructor.

There is little opportunity to secure secondhand books because most
students find the texts assigned of value to retain as reference sources
after completing a course.

Student Aid

Students desiring any form of financial aid from the college including
scholarship, employment, or loan, are required to file applications with
the Student Aid Committee not later than June 10 of each year. Incom-
ing freshmen are allowed an extension of time.

These application forms are used to determine the comparative need
of the applicants and are passed on by the Student Aid Committee. No
student is eligible for any kind of financial assistance from the College
unless he or she has filed the required form and has been certified as
deser-'ang by the Student Aid Committee. Application forms may be
secured at the Placement Service Office, South College.

Self Help. — ^It is recommended that no new student enter without
having at least $250 and preferably $350 with which to meet the ex-
penses of the first year. The college does not encourage students to
enter without money in the expectation of earning their way entirely.
The student will find it better either to work and accumulate money
before coming to college, or to take more than two years in completing
his course, or, instead, to borrow money sufficient to carry him through.
No student should undertake work that interferes with his studies, and
students should understand that, owing to the large number of appli-
cations for employment, no one may receive a large amount of work
at the college. A number of students find opportunities for earning
money without depending upon the college to furnish them with work.

First year students should not risk failure in their beginning studies
at Stockbridge by taking on such extra work until they have, at least,
tested themselves in the study program of the first semester. Certainly,
it is advised to proceed cautiously in combining both extra work and
athletics at the same time, if your scholastic record is at all questionable.

The Vincent Goldthwait Loan Fund. — This fund was established by
Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, M. S. C. 1885, of Boston, as a memorial to his

son who died in 1922 during his junior year at Harvard. Its purpose
is to aid worthy senior students who find it absolutely impossible to
secure aid from other sources to complete their final year. Only seniors
needing emergency supplementary aid in addition to funds already avail-
able will be considered. Amounts in excess of $200.00 are rarely granted
and most loans range from $50 to $150.00.

A regular promissory note must be executed, endorsed by parent or
guardian, and repayment may be made within any reasonable period
after graduation up to one year. There is no interest charge.

N.Y.A. Student Employment Projects

The College has been granted student employment funds by the Fed-j
eral Government since the adoption of the program. The policy of the
Federal Administration cannot be predicted, but it is safe to assume tha|
as long as student relief projects are in effect this college will be a par|
ticipant. The type of work to which students are assigned under N.Y.AJ
projects consists of the following: Clerical and office, library and mu-^
seum, laboratory and research assistance, reading and grading papers
and all other or miscellaneous types.

In addition to the college projects, community projects are organized'
consisting of the following types of work: Education, recreation, health
and welfare and other miscellaneous types.

The rate of pay is 30 cents per hour. The .positions are based on the
average earning capacity of $15 per month. During the past college year
twelve percent of our students were assigned to positions under this
project.

Special consideration is given to new students under these projects,
for while the general college policy does not encourage the new student
to seek employment, one of the conditions under which the College par-
ticipates in the N.Y.A. projects is that new students receive their pro
rata share.

General Exercises

Assembly exercises are held weekly on Wednesdays, 11:00-12:00 M.,
and serve to bring together all Stockbridge students for a general pro-
gram dealing with matters of interest to the College and the School.
Among speakers who appear from time to time are the President of the
College, members of the College staff and occasionally other men who
have interesting subjects to present. This weekly assembly also enables
announcements concerning students and student affairs to be presented,
and permits class presidents to make advance reservations for business
meetings when necessary. No unexcused absences from this exercise
are allowed.

Two assemblies each month are used for special song practice to train
all students in both school and popular songs.

Student Activities

A large number of student organizations furnish opportunity to stu-
dents for work and leadership.

The Massachusetts State College Social Union was established about
fifteen years ago. All students become members of the Union by paying
a small fee, and in the fall and winter months the Union gives a series
of entertainments, free to students and faculty. Memorial Hall is the
center of student activities and contains ofllices for the various student
organizations, including the Stockbridge School Student Council. On the
first floor are located a lounging room, the Memorial Room, and the
offices; in the basement, bowling alleys, pool and ping pong tables; and
on the second floor an auditorium for meetings and dances. This building
was erected by the alumni, students, faculty, and friends in honor of
the fifty-one "Aggie" men who gave their lives in the World War.

The Stockbridge School Council is composed of representatives of the

{

first and second year classes, This body serves as a general committee on
student government and helps to maintain the best traditions and cus-
toms of the School.

A student yearbook called "The Shorthorn" is published annually by
the members of the graduating class, and is usually issued in June. All
students subscribe to it.

For those students who play musical instruments there are opportuni-
ties with the College Orchestra and the College Band.

In the place of fraternities the faculty have authorized social organ-
izations called "clubs" in the Stockbridge School. There are two such
organizations in the student body, the A. T. G. Club and the Kolony Klub,
both owning houses, serving as social and residential centers for their
groups.

A Stockbridge Honorary Scholastic Society called "Stosag" was estab-
lished in 1935 to encourage high scholarship. Students whose records
show no grade below 70 in any subject and whose averages for the first
three semesters are 85 or better are elected to membership in the society
each June. Engraved certificates are awarded to members of the gradu-
ating class who have achieved this distinction.

Athletics and Physical Education. — The School has its own separate
athletic program with regular schedules in football, basketball, ice
hockey, cross-country and winter track. Sweaters and insignia are
awarded to team members and managers in these sports. The official
insignia is the letter S.

The football team plays a schedule of 6 or 7 games with preparatory
school teams. The basketball team plays a 10 game schedule; the cross-
country team usually runs 3 races, v/hile 2 or 3 meets are scheduled for
the winter track squad. Ice hockey affords 6 to 8 games depending on
the weather.

Due to the fact that freshmen are on placement training during the
spring term which leaves only seniors available, no regular team is main-
tained in baseball. Men desiring to play are organized into teams and
an intramural league is arranged.

This athletic program is entirely under the supervision and direction
of the Physical Education Department of the College and coaches are
provided for all sports. Instructor Lorin E. Ball, director of the Stock-
bridge physical education work is coach of football, basketball, and has
charge of the spring recreation program. Assistant Professor Llewellyn
L. Derby, coach of the varsity track team, has charge of the cross-country
and v/inter track squads.

All students are urged to participate in some sport each semester, but
first year students should be sure all studies are well maintained. No
squads are reduced by eliminating the inexperienced players and every-
one is given an opportunity to play in games. The football squads for the
past two years have consisted of approximately 50 candidates. Games
have been scheduled for both the second and third teams so that every
man on the squad has participated in an outside scheduled game. Both
the first and second teams in basketball have regularly scheduled games
and an intramural league schedule is arranged for those not playing on
the first squad.

Every care is exercised to guard against men overtaxing their strength
in any sport or game to the detriment of their health. No man whose
physical condition is at all questionable is allowed to play on the teams.
A careful check is maintained by required physical examinations for all
students given by the college physician at the opening of the school year.
A second examination is made of each man before permission is granted
to participate in any sport.

Students also subscribe to the college varsity games and have attend-
ance privileges for varsity sports on the campus.

Class work in physical education for men not on athletic squads is

required for both seniors and freshmen during the first semester. This
consists of 2 class periods a week. The object of this course is to give the
men some knowledge of games which may be of value to them in after
school days, as well as to give every man an opportunity to develop suf-
ficient control over his body to enaljle him to get pleasure from physical
activities and to establish correct health habits.

The freshmen receive instruction in soft ball, touch football, golf, and
swimming. Men may elect football or cross-country, instead of the regu-
lar class work. The seniors take up volley ball, badminton, archery, and
swimming. They may also elect football or cross-country. The classes are
organized into teams which compete against each other with much riv-
alry. Students are expected to wear old clothes during the play period,
and shower baths are required at the close of each class period.

A physical education building containing a swimming pool, a great
indoor cage 150 by 180 feet for all kinds of sports and games, and com-
plete locker room and shower bath facilities provide ample equipment to
carry out this program. Individual equipment is supplied to all members
of the football, hockey, basketball, cross-country, and track squads.

STUDENT RELATIONS

The customary high standard of college men in honor, manliness, self-
respect, and consideration for the rights of others constitutes the stand-
ards of student deportment.

Any student known to be guilty of dishonest conduct or persistent vio-
lation of rules must be reported by the instructor to the Director for
discipline.

The privileges of the college may be withdrawn from any student at
any time if such action is deemed advisable.

It should be understood that the college, acting through its President
or any administrative officer designated by him, distinctly reserves the
right not only to suspend or dismiss students, but also to name conditions
under which students may remain in the institution. For example, if a
student is not doing creditable work he may not only be disciplined, but
he may be required to meet certain prescribed conditions in respect to
his studies, even though under the foregoing rules his status as a stu-
dent be not affected. The same provision applies equally to the matter of
absences.

Similarly, also, it applies to participation in student activities. Though
this will ordinarily be governed by the rules as already laid down, yet if
in the judgment of the college authorities a, student is neglecting his
work on account of these activities, the privilege of participating in them
may be withdrawn for such time as is considered necessary. Moreover,
it may be withdrawn as a punishment for misconduct.

HEALTH SERVICE

The college endeavors to safeguard the health of all students while on
the campus and for this purpose maintains a Department of Student
Health, staffed by two physicians, two resident registered nurses, and a
group of three Infirmary buildings.

(1) Physical examination by the Health Service is required of all under-
graduate students annually, or more often if indicated. This exam-
ination is given to freshmen during matriculation week. Ecidcnice
of a SUCCESSFUL smallpox vaccmaiion is reqiiirecL

(2) The Student Health physicians have offices in the Physical Educa-
tion Building and in the Out-Patient Building, where they may be
consulted during college hours.

(3) The Infirmary consists of three buildings, one for bed patients, one
for contagious cases, and one for out-patient cases, where the out-
patient clinic is conducted daily by one of the Student Health phy-
sicians.

(4) Students are urged to consult the resident physicians at the first
sign of physical disorder, or for even minor accidents. Many severe
illnesses and much lost time can be avoided by early or preventive
treatment.

(5) A Trustee ruling grants free time in the Infirmary — when necessary
for treatment — up to seven days in the school year. This free time
applies to regularly enrolled undergraduate students only. For time
in excess of seven days or for other bed patients, a charge of $2.00
per day is made against the patient.

(6) In addition to the charges specified in paragraph 5, the following
additional expenses will be charged to the patient.

(a) Nurses. — In case a special nurse is required for the proper care
of an individual the services and board of this nurse will be
paid by the patient. Such a nurse will be under the general
supervision of the resident nurse.

(b) Professional Service. — If a student requires continuous medical
attention by a physician, he may be required to select a town
physician and become responsible for fees charged by that phy-
sician.

(d) Laundry. — Expense for personal laundry or cleaning incurred
by students while in the Infirm.ary will be charged to the indi-
vidual student.

GOODELL LIBRARY

This fine new building completed in 1935 houses the College Library.
This library contains one of the best collections in agriculture and re-
lated sciences in the country, with special strength in entomology, botany,
chemistry, horticulture, landscape architecture, soil science and animal
husbandry, but with considerable collections, also in literature, history,
economics and sociology. There are over 119,738 bound books, and over
50,000 classified pamphlets giving most recent information. The peri-
odical file contains over 500 current magazines, both scientific and popu-
lar, and a careful selection of newspapers, together with many periodical
publications of learned societies. Tlie Library is unusually rich in files of
journals and publications of Experiment Stations and learned societies.
The building is open on week days from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M., and from 1.30

shorter hours during vacations and Summer School.

The building is named in memory of Henry Hill Goodell, President of
the College from 1886 to 1904 and College Librarian from 1886 to 1898.

AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN

Agriculture is a field in which women have always found some oppor-
tunity. There are women farming independently, in all brances of agri-
culture. As a rule poultry raising, small fruits and vegetable growing
and floriculture, seem to offer women an easier opportunity than dairy,
stock and general farming. Women are also finding some paid positions
which include farm and estate workers and managers, garden service
workers and agricultural officers in state correctional institutions.

For the woman or girl whose home is already upon the farm the oppor-
tunity is exceptionally good. With the help of an agricultural education
there are open to her many means of increasing her own or the farm in-
come. With the knowledge of farm life which she already possesses, and
with the possibility of securing occasional help from her family, she may
be able to carry on and develop a profitable enterprise of her own. The
Stockbridge School of Agriculture will afford to the women who wish to
engage in farming the practical training which they will need to fit them
for their work, and will open to them new doors of opportunity. The

16
particular problems which women engaged in farming will have to meet,
and the special lines of farming in which they will have favorable oppor-
tunities, will be considered in a series of conferences.

Women who are interested in taking agricultural courses should cor-
respond with Miss Margaret Hamlin, Placement Officer for Women.

POSITIONS

The College does not gua^rantee positions to students registered in any
of its courses, but through the Placement Service it has an opportunity
to recommend students for a large number of positions. A record is kept
of each student's work and experience, and of his success in positions for
which he has been recommended after he has -finished his course. Oppor-
tunities for trained men and women, especially those who have had farm
experience, are good.

A student desiring a recommendation from the college must meet the
following conditions: —

(1) He must be of good character.

(2) His previous record must be good.

(3) His work in all courses must be satisfactory.

Students who have not previously had a considerable amount of prac-
tical experience cannot, as a rule, be recommended for positions of
responsibility. This is especially true of the better positions for which
managers or superintendents are wanted.

VOCATIONAL PLACEMENT

The work of locating first year students for apprentice training from
April to October, after the resident term is completed, is in charge of the
Director of Placement Service. Placement training for women students
is in charge of Miss Margaret Hamlin of the Placement Office. Every
effort is made to secure satisfactory positions affording the kind of train-
ing desired by the student, but the Placement Office cannot guarantee to
place every student for training, when positions are not available. In
normal times placement positions are secured for all students who are
eligible under these conditions.

1. Positions are secured that will enable a student to gain practical
experience in his particular vocation.

2. A student desiring placement at home may arrange for such assign-
ment if the Director of Placement approves. As a rule, it will be found
more desirable for a student to spend this six months away from home
even though he plans to be employed there after finishing the course.
This statement is based on the experience of students who. have already
taken the course.

3. If credit is to be secured for the six months' placement training the
following rules must be carefully observed.

Rules for Stockbridge Students on Placement

1. The student must interview the Director of Placement early in his
first year in order that his qualifications, the type of work he wishes to
pursue, and his general fitness may be determined.

2. No final arrangement for placement training may be made by the
student himself until the Director of Placement has been consulted.

8. Students are required to complete their period of training without
unnecessary absences.

4. No transfers are to be made by a student if he is to receive credit,
until permission has been had from the Director of Placement.

5. A position may not be given up by the student until the Director of
Placement has been notified.

6. A monthly report must be furnished on the form supplied, and
submitted not later than the fifth of each month during his training
period.

o

G
S3

7. A student whose grade of work is regularly poor (below a 70 rat-
ing) in the classes of his major subject will not be eligible for placement
training, unless recommended by the department in charge of his major
work.

8. When a student fails to complete the requirements of his placement
training with a satisfactory grade, he is not allowed to take the work of
the second year.

9. All students are given a thorough physical examination by the De-
partment of Physical Education at the beginning of each college year.
Any disabilities liable to affect the student's placement work are noted,
and, if of a serious nature, recommendations for corrective measures are
supplied. Parents should understand that most kinds of agricultural
work require a well-balanced combination of brawn and brain. No stu-
dent whose physical condition is questionable will be accepted for place-
ment training without a physician's certificate, and parents' approval.

It should be clearly understood by both employer and employee that the
same energy, regularity and general conduct will be expected of the
student during his period of placement training as is expected in his
work in classes and on the, campus.

It should also be noted that this six months' experience is educational
in its nature. Students are expected to earn and receive a reasonable
wage, but the purpose of the training is the experience gained rather
than the wage earned. The scale of wages may vary in different localities,
but each man's ability is given very careful thought, that he may obtain
a wage that is fair to him. In the event of any misunderstanding the
supervisor should be immediately informed.

THE LOTTA AGRICULTURAL FUND FOR GRADUATES
ENTERING AGRICULTURAL PURSUITS

(Prepared by the Lotta M. Crabtree College Committee with the
approval of the Trustees of the Lotta M. Crabtree Estate.)

A recent decision of the Probate Court of Boston makes the Lotta M.
Crabtree Agricultural Funds available to graduates of the Stockbridge
School of Agriculture, as well as to graduates of the four-year course at
Massachusetts State (College. This decision does not, however, lessen the
restrictions nor change the purposes for which these funds can be used
for farm financing.

The purpose of loans from these funds is to assist meritorious gradu-
ates who are without means in establishing themselves in agricultural
pursuits. These loans are made without interest or service charges other
than the cost of title search and legal papers. They must, however, be
paid back in full amount within a reasonable length of time and there
are certain restrictions on their use.

To avoid disappointment on the part of applicants and save unneces-
sary work and expense in investigating applications for loans, there are
certain questions that the prospective borrower should answer for him-
self before making application for a Crabtree loan. The more important
of these follow :

1. Am I thoroughly qualified, both in training and experience, to suc-
cessfully manage the project that I am planning? Experience on a farm
or in the agricultural enterprise contemplated, in addition to classroom
training is one of the first essentials for success. If such experience is
lacking, it is usually best to delay application for a loan until acquired.

2. Is the project that I seek assistance in financing really an "agri-
cultural pursuit"?

3. Am I using these funds entirely to establish myself in business or
are they being used in part to benefit some other person who is not a
graduate of Massachusetts State College or the Stockbridge School?
This question sometimes arises in connection with "family" and "part-

19
nership" propositions. It has no reference to a wife or other dependent
but no part of the loan can be used to finance a person who is not a State
College or Stockbridge graduate.

4. Am I using these funds for refinancing present debts? The pur-
pose of these loans is to "establish" rather than "reestablish" persons in
agricultural pursuits. They cannot be used for retiring present debts.

5. Will the amount that I can hope to borrow from these funds ade-
quately finance the enterprise that I am planning to engage in? Lotta
Agricultural loans are used mostly to supplement other forms of financ-
ing rather than for complete financing of farming operations. Reason-
ably definite plans for the other financing,, which the loan is intended to
supplement, should be worked out before applying for a Crabtree loan.

6. What can I offer as security to adequately safeguard this loan? A
Crabtree loan, like any other loan, should be safeguarded against pos-
sible death or financial failure of the recipient. While character and per-
sonal integrity of the applicant are large factors in decisions, relative to
granting a loan, adequate security should be provided as far as possible.

7. Can I amortize my debt payments and other financial obligations so
that I can repay this loan within a reasonable period of time? Most Crab-
tree loans are made under definite agreement to repay within a relatively
short period of years. The Crabtree applicant should therefore make cer-
tain, barring calamity, that his income above necessary operating and
living expenses will be great enough to allow annual, semi-annual or
monthly payments on this loan as well as on other debt obligations that
he may be carrying.

8. Will this loan actually help me to make more money or will it
merely delay the time and increase the burden of final financial reckon-
ing? The answer to this question and also to No. 7 involves careful
budgeting and planning ahead. Unless an applicant can show on paper
by carefully projected plans and budgets of expected receipts and ex-
penses that he will benefit by a loan, he is likely to have difficulty in
repaying it.

Applications for a Crabtree loan should be addressed to the Trustees
of the Lotta M. Crabtree Estate, 619 Washington Street, Boston, Massa-
chusetts. Decisions regarding the granting of a loan rests entirely with
the Trustees under the terms of Miss Crabtree's will.

DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

The Animal Husbandry major fits students to cope with the practical
problems of live stock production and management. It supplements and
supports but does not duplicate or replace the necessary experience
gained only through actual manual work in caring for animals. As a
foundation, the study of breed history, live stock trends, animal anatomy
and physiology is required. Special attention is given to physiological
processes in breeding and feeding. Later courses show how these pro-
cesses actually function under the stockman's guidance.

A herd of about 150 dairy cattle including Ayrshires, Guernseys,
Jerseys, Holsteins and Milking Shorthorns, a band of about a dozen
Percheron brood mares, a flock of about 40 Southdown and Shropshire
sheep and a herd of about 20 Chester White swine, together with modern
barns and equipment for housing and caring for the above live stock,
and a farm of several hundred acres used primarily for the production of
feed crops, gives ample 'scope for illustrating and giving practice in
modern methods of live stock handling. The farm and barns are our
laboratory; the animals and accessories our equipment.

Graduates from the Animal Husbandry major for the most part secure
positions as herdsmen or farm managers.

Because of overcrowded classrooms and laboratories, registrations in
this course are now strictly limited to thirty-five students each year.

DAIRY MANUFACTURES

The Dairy Manufactures course is designed to fit men for positions
with market milk concerns, creameries, ice cream factories, and special-
ized dairy farms.

All dairy manufacturing courses are given in the dairy building (Flint
Laboratory), a modern building designed especially for dairy work. The
building is equipped with the newest and best types of dairy- and cream-
ery machinery.

The market milk room contains two complete pasteurizing units, a
clarifier, separator, milk heater, automatic bottle filler and capper, and
other necessary equipment for the proper handling of Market milk.

The ice cream making room contains a pasteurizing vat, homogenizer,
cooler, brine and direct expansion freezers, filling machines, and addi-
tional equipment such as is found in a modern ice cream plant.

The room designed for cheese making is equipped with cheese vats,
draining racks, presses, mixer, etc. The butter making room has various
types of hand and power churns, workers, scales, and other accessories.

The separator room contains a collection of separators and exhibits of
modern equipment and supplies for the dairyman.

The testing laboratories are Avell equipped with apparatus for the
Babcock, Mojonnier, and other tests used for the determination of fat,
acidity, and general cleanliness of milk and milk products.

Because placement jobs are not numerous in the dairy industry and
employment opportunities in this field cannot absorb more than ten to
fifteen men each year, we are forced to limit registrations in this course
to not more than twenty-five students. Give full details of training and
reasons for choosing this work in supplementary application form in

will be put in placement training who has not satisfied these preliminary
requirements.

POULTRY HUSBANDRY

Eight courses are offered by this department. One is a general course
designed particularly to equip the student with fundamental principles
underlying successful poultry raising as related to the farm flock. The
other seven courses are for students who desire to specialize in poultry
culture.

There is a broad field of opportunity for adequately trained men in
Che commercial handling of poultry and sale of poultry products, special-
ists in incubation, brooding and rearing, and assistants or managers of
commercial poultry farms. Good profits and wages await well-equipped
men and women in these and other branches of poultry work.

This department is well equipped to offer practical instruction in poul-
try husbandry. Our quarters and equipment in Stockbridge Hall provide
ample facilities for efficient classroom and laboratory teaching.
. Our practical laboratory (college poultry plant) comprises classrooms
and laboratories, about 1,500 adult birds, divided into some 40 pens of
various designs, the flocks ranging in size from 10 to 250 birds; several
lamp incubators as well as five mammoth machines; brooding and rear-
ing facilities for 5,000 chicks, including many styles of coal, oil, wood,
and electric brooders and chick batteries, also four types of cages for
laying hens ; facilities for practice in breeding, feeding, fattening, killing,
picking, candling and grading eggs, caponizing, judging, mixing rations ;
construction of poultry houses and appliances, etc.

In addition to the actual practice work performed, the student has an
opportunity to keep under observation practical experiments and demon-
strations continually under way for the instruction of students and
practical poultry keepers.

Poultry Husbandry S-1 (Ju(3ging and Housing) I.

This course embraces a study of the various economically important
types of breeds of domestic fowl, judging for egg production capacity,
and for exhibition quality. A visit to Storrs egg laying contest may be
required. This course also covers the principles and practices of construct-
ing and equipping houses on a commercial poultry farm. A few trips to
nearby poultry plants may be taken to study poultry house ventilation.
Two hours for judging; two hours for housing.
2 class hours and 2 2-hour laboratory periods a week. Credit, 4.

Poultry Husbandry S-2. (Incubating and Brooding) II.

A study of incubation and brooding is made by means of the operation
of standard incubators and brooders and through a consideration of basic
principles. Students select and grade hatching eggs, operate small incu-
bators and observe mammoth incubators for a period of time. Under
supervision each student has charge of a brood of chicks.

The incubation part of the course will consist of three class hours, one
laboratory period and one practice period, and will run parallel to the

FRUIT GROWING

This course is arranged to give the student a sound practical knowl-
edge of fruit growing and allied subjects. Graduates who are capable and
experienced have advanced rapidly to positions of responsibility in some
of the larger orchards of New England, and the demand is active for
good men in that field.

Some graduates of this course have gone into business for themselves,
establishing successful orchards of their own, or pruning, spraying and
otherwise caring for a number of small orchards, the owners of which
are not prepared to do their own work. Still others are packing house
foremen or are engaged in some other marketing activity. The fruit-
growing industry of l^lew England is an important one and there are
opportunities for good men who are well trained.

Practical work in th^ orchards under expert supervision is emphasized
where possible. It is intended to familiarize students with the best
methods that have been devised by experiment stations and leading fruit
growers for the production and marketing of high-quality fruits under
New England conditions. The Department of Pomology has about fifty
acres of fruits easily accessible for the classroom, and the orchards are
used freely for purposes of instruction. All the common tree fruits and
small fruits are grown here on a commercial scale. Many experiments
and demonstrations are in progress in the plantations, offering an ex-
ceptional opportunity to the student.

The Department also has a thoroughly up-to-date storage and packing
house, in which are several types of refrigerated and common storage
rooms, fruit sizing machines, and other modern equipment.

A good equipment is maintained of the principal types of orchard tools
and machines, including sprayers, plows, harrows, cultivators, tractor,
pruning saws, shears, etc., for study and trial by students.

HOTEL STEWARDING

With the increasing importance and development of Massachusetts and
other New England states as centers of recreation, both winter and sum-
mer, hotels, clubs and restaurants should have need for trained personnel
with a knowledge of food commodities, their selection, grades, prices,
and preparation. This does not mean skilled cooks or chefs, but rather
persons with a knowledge of the principal food supply problems of
kitchen and dining room as dealt with in the steward's department.

In the vocational agricultural courses already developed in this school
such information is largely available; that is, in the poultry department
all types of poultry meats and grades of eggs will be studied ; in the dairy
manufactures department all kinds of dairy products, from the raw milk
through all the intermediate stages to butter, cheese, and ice cream, will
be considered.

By vote of the College Trustees in June 1937, authorization was given
for such a short course, probably the first one of its kind in any land
grant college. The Massachusetts Hotel Association through its Educa-
tion Committee has urgently solicited and actively sponsored the organ-

ization of a stewarding course in this school, and has made available
scholarship loans during the past several years to aid needy and well
qualified young men who had been recommended by hotel or restaurant
managers to take this type of work. Beginning with 1938 the Boston
Stewards' Club has given a scholarship prize fund to assist students
taking this work.

It has been found necessary to lim.it the size of the entering class to
not more than ten students because college laboratory facilities and
teaching personnel cannot be increased at this time to accommodate a
greater number.

By reason of the limited number accepted for this course, a selective
process of admission has been made necessary, in order to admit those
best qualified and most likely to profit by this specialized training pro-
gram, as follows: (1) write for preliminary application blank for stew-
arding course and return promptly with full information requested ;
(,2) if information submitted indicates satisfactory record of experience
and purpose, applicant will be notified to, and must, report for personal
interview; (3) if applicant receives approval on personal interview, final
application form in back of Stockbridge catalog and certificate of citizen-
ship can then be filed.

Every consideration possible will be given to qualified applicants, pri-
marily Massachusetts residents, whose previous experience, ability, and
character can be attested by managers or stewards.

Because hotel placement jobs are not available usually until June, all
first year students in this course will continue in resident study at the
school from April to June, or two months longer than other short courses
described in this catalog. The placement training period for Hotel
Stewarding students will be four months only, from June to October.
This change makes a tuition increase of $25.00 for Massachusetts stu-
dents and $55.00 for students who come from out of state. Board, room
and fees for the full second semester will increase costs of the first year
by an estimated $100.00 as compared with other major courses.

ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE

The constantly increasing interest in development of grounds, both
public and private, for use and enjoyment, has created a demand for men
trained to handle the varied problems in the construction and mainten-
ance of these grounds. The course in Ornamental Horticulture aims to
make the student familiar with these various problems.

Men who have taken this course are to be found in such different fields
as foremen in nurseries, or proprietors of nurseries which they them-
selves have built up; superintendents on private estates, cemeteries,
parks, and various public and private institution grounds; foremen for
landscape construction firms, and some have developed their own busi-
ness in landscape construction and grounds maintenance service.

With the whole campus as a laboratory, the student every day finds
problems about him comparable to those he will meet when he goes out
to work. The broad lawns, the walks and drives, the gardens, the green-
houses, the orchards, the vegetable plots, as well as the farms, supply all
the various phases of work which will be encountered on estates, in
parks, or in institution grounds. As far as practicable the student is
given the opportunity to determine what these problems are and to solve
them himself under expert supervision.

On the campus is to be found a large and excellent collection of mature
trees, shrubs, and vines. From these plants the student is able to build
up a background of plant knowledge; in identification; in propagation
which is carried on in a special greenhouse for the purpose; in the
handling of plants in various stages of their growth, in the nursery and
on the campus ; and in their ultimate care, pruning and protection against
injuries of all kinds. Construction of roads, walks, drainage and other
problems involving the moving of earth are especially valuable to those
looking forward to landscape construction.

The courses in forestry are designed to give practical instruction in the
elements of forest care and management with special reference to the
problems that will be faced by one who is given the responsibility of
managing farm or estate woodland. The necessary phases of forest
measurement, silviculture and forest protection are included. Field work,
carried out on the college forest of 755 acres at Mt. Toby, takes the form
of demonstrations and practical field problems in forest care and manage-
ment. Students in these courses work to a considerable extent under
actual field conditions.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

By vote of the College Trustees on May 2, 1940 the Wildlife Manage-
ment course has been cancelled as an ofi'ering of the Stockbridge School
of Agriculture. The reasons are: (1) the employment field for vocational
graduates is becoming more and more limited in this kind of work; (2^
many Wildlife graduates are fxnding it difficult to locate the kind of jobs
for which this vocational course in conservation practices has fitted them ;

(3) not enough vacancies are available in the State Department of Con-
servation to absorb even the small number of men graduated each year;

(4) in the face of such conditions, it does not seem wise to longer encour-
age young men to take up this type of work here in Massachusetts with
any reasonable chance of employment.

Due to the suspension of instruction in vocational Wildlife Management
after June 1941, courses for the work of the second year only are
described. The work of the first year was given for the last time during
the year 1939-40.

presents a problem of no small importance. Work has been planned in
this course to present some of the problems pertaining to the sanitary
production and distribution of foods.

This course is designed to acquaint the student with the nature and
importance of micro-organisms and thus better explain biological changes
in nature and susceptibility to disease. (Animal Husbandry, Poultry and
Dairy Manufactures majors.)
3 class hours a week. Credit, 3.

Bacteriology S-2. (Bacteriology and Rural Hygiene) II.

This course is a continuation of Bacteriology S-1 for Dairy Manu-
factures majors.
3 class hours a week. Credit, 3.

Bacteriology S-4. (Dairy Bacteriology) II.

Bacteria and other micro-organisms are the responsible agents for
changes which occur in milk, and for the contagion which sometimes
causes diseases. They are found in milk at times when leaving the uddfr,
they get in with the dust and dirt while milking and they adhere to the
dairy utensils which carry them over from one milking to the next. From
the cow to the consumer there is the constant presence of these micro-
organisms to contend with, on the one hand, and to foster on the other.

Many of these changes occurring in milk are undesirable, such as ropy
milk, sour milk, bitter milk, tainted milk, etc. Many of these changes are
encouraged as the ripening of cream for butter, of milk for cheese, of
milks for milk drinks. The former are fought, the latter fostered.

Micro-organisms of tyiDhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria and other
diseases find their way by means of milk to the consumer and produce
epidemic forms of these diseases

Various bacteriological tests for the estimation of the numbers and
types of organisms in milk are studied. Special attention is given to the

47
interpretation of results indicated by the standard plate, Breed, methy-
lene blue, and Burri methods of testing milk quality. Laboratory pro-
cedures for the determination of special groups of bacteria not normally
found in milk, such as fecal contaminants and heat resistant organisms,
are discussed. The proper use of these methods will quickly enable one
to locate the source of trouble and check any further continuance-
It is evident, therefore, that to handle milk and milk products safely
it is desirable to know something of the agents which are the source of
so much attention in the dairy. This indicates the nature of the sub-
stance of this course. This course is required of all students who elect
dairying as one of their special lines of work.
3 3-hour laboratory periods a week. Credit,, 5.

Beekeeping S-1. (Fall Management, Wintering and Honey Marketing) I.

in the early fall, and field studies are made of the bee colony and its
organization. Studies and practice in fall feeding are followed bv a sim-
ilar treatment of winter protection and the bees are then prepared for
winter. During the latter part of the semester the surplus honey is
extracted and prepared for market, a laboratory study made of the pro-
duct and, finally, the commoner bee diseases are discussed and methods
of control pointed out.
1 class hour and 1 2-hour laboratory period a week. Credit, 2.

Beekeeping S-2. (Spring Management, Pollination, and Honey Produc-
tion) II.

The first part of the semester is occupied in assembling and studying
the equipment used in beekeeping, but as soon as the weather permits,
work is resumed on the bees in the apiary. Studies are made in spring
management; pollination in the apple orchards is particularly stressed,
and attention is then turned to the preparation of the colonies for honey
production.

Throughout the entire course, wherever possible, the work is made
practical and individual, enough theory being given so that the student
will understand the reasons for his manipulations.

students are graded either very good, good, satisfactory or unsatis-
factory. Those who have not had sufficient experience to satisfactorily
pass these tests are required to take additional practice by appointment
with the Farm Superintendent or his assistant. Not more than two stu-
dents are scheduled each day for practice in milking under the super-
vision of the herdsman, and those not satisfactorily passing the teaming
test are scheduled for individual work with the teamsters on the College
Farm. Those who pass the test as satisfactory, but who wish additional
practice may do so by appointment. The opportunity is available for any
who wish to secure additional skill in farm operations such as plowing,
harrowing, etc.

This assignment in developing necessary farm skills is an important
part of the vocational training program of each course during the fall
semester of the first year and a complete report on each student's skill
and ability is submitted to the Short Course Office and to the Director of
Placement Service, who has charge of locating all placement jobs. Stu-
dents failing to pass these tests satisfactorily inevitably limit themselves
from securing the better placement positions.

SHORT COURSES AT MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLLEGE

Short courses are based on the idea that the motive which inspires
study is the most significant factor in study itself, and that this motive
rises when the student himself realizes he faces a problem that calls for
a solution. Therefore there is no age limit. Enrolled in short courses are
found the young and the old, the experienced and the inexperienced, the
theoretical and the practical. In this grouping there is a value, since
students learn from each other as well as from the instructors. Practi-
cally all Short Course students intend to make a direct application of the
knowledge given. Hence the aim of Short Course work is to offer the
largest amount of information and training in agricultural and horti-
cultural lines in the shortest possible time. During the past twenty
years. Short Courses have served hundreds of students in this Common-
wealth, and the demand for these courses in recent years has steadily
continued.

Description of Courses

W-l. Poultry Judging. — A study of the characters effected by egg production and
those that limit egg production in the individual. Trapnested birds with known records
are constantly used to check the student's judgment in estimating production. This
knowledge has direct applicabiUty in the constant elimination of non-producers from
the flock, and the selection of outstanding breeders.

W-2. Marketing Poultry Products. — This course covers candling and grading of
eggs, market classification of poultry and eggs, judging eggs, fattening, killing, picking,
drawing and judging of live and dressed poultry.

W-3. Poultry Breeding. — The course combines in class and laboratory genetic the-
ory and breeding applications. The various methods of selection are studied. The vital
data about each breeder is recorded and studied in an up-to-date system of pedigree
record keeping.

W-4. Poultry Feeds and Feeding. — This course embraces a study of the fundamental
principles of nutrition^ and their application to the problems of feeding the poultry
flock — the most expensive item in the grower's budget. Feeding the growing stock,
the laying flock, and fattening are all included.

W-S. Incubation. — A study of incubation principles and practices is made in con-
junction with the incubators in the well-equipped cellar at the College plant.

JV-6. Poultry Housing. — A careful study is made of the various physical and bio-
logical factors which are involved in keeping houses comfortable, dry and hygienic.
The several types of houses on the College plant furnish good practice and study ma-
terial.

W-7. Poultry Farm Management. — ^The modern trends of commercial poultry farm
organization are studied by the survey method. Each student will prepare detailed
plans for a farm he now owns or might hope to develop in the future. These plans
will emphasize and correlate the work in breeding, incubation, brooding, growing, mar-
ket egg and meat production, marketing and accounting.

W-8. Brooding. — Brooding, as one of the most important phases of the poultry
industry, is taught with the aid of modern equipment such as coal burning and electric
brooders, and several kinds of battery brooders.

W-9. Disease Prevention. — Embraced in this course are studies of normal and
pathological anatomy ; sanitary programs of disease control ; and the use of disinfec-
tants, vermifuges and remedies of known efficacy.

This course is so organized that a student may take any term or combination of
terms that he wishes, completing the course in succeeding years if it is found necessary.

WINTER SHORT COURSE IN DAIRY BACTERIOLOGY

(Methods for Testing Milk)
January 6 to January IS, 1041

General Information

Each year numerous requests are received by this department for individual in-
struction in modern bacteriological methods for testing milk. The majority of these
requests are due to the interest of the modern dairy man in the quality of his product,
as expressed by results of chemical and bacteriological examinations and a desire to
more accurately control production on the farm and in the dairy plant. A two weeks'
course on modern testing methods has been designed to meet the need of the dairy
man who wishes to provide a means of making these bacteriological tests in his own
plant laboratory.

Admission and Registration

There is no prerequisite for the course. Students must be at least eighteen years of
age and must have completed the elementary or common schools.

Students should enroll by mail. See special application blank in front of announce-
ment. Early registrations will be given preference.

Ten students will be the maximum number admitted to this course. Unless five
students have registered prior to the opening day, the course will not be given.

Tuition, Fees and Expenses

There is a tuition fee of two dollars and each student is required to pay the Treas-
urer a registration fee of two dollars per course.

Description of the Course

Five afternoons each week will be devoted to laboratory discussions, demonstra-
tions and manipulation of the Breed and Brew, Resazurin, Burri and Standard Plate
Methods of examining milk. Each student will be given ample oppovtunity to perform
these tests on numerous milk samples. Instruction will also be given in the correct use
and care of the compound microscope.

Mornings may be spent in the department or college Hbrary where there are avail-
able numerous books and pamphlets on dairy bacteriology and the relationship of milk
and milk products to the Public Health.

THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
A Two-Year Non-Degree Course in Vocational Agriculture

For over twenty years the Massachusetts State College in addition to its degree
courses has been conducting non-degree courses for students who wish to get fundamental
training for some agricultural or related business. More and more, high school gradu-
ates, not otherwise prepared for college entrance, whose inclinations are towards the
practical field of agriculture are finding the work of this department of the College well
suited to their needs.

The work is divided into eight major programs — ^Animal Husbandry, Dairy Manu-
factures, Poultry, Floriculture, Fruit Growing, Ornamental Horticulture, Vegetable Gar-
dening and Hotel Stewarding for hotel and restaurant operatives, one of which is selected
by the student, depending on the job for which he wishes to secure training.

No entrance examinations are required. Minimum age seventeen years; minimum
schooling eighth grade. Two hundred and ninety-six students were enrolled in October
1939.

The first year consists of six months' study at the College and six months of re-
quired placement training, under the supervision of the College. During the placement
period the student is expected to learn much of the practical side of his particular voca-
tion. He is recommended to a position. These positions are on farms, in dairies, green-
houses, poultry plants. The nature of the position depends on the student's particular
objective.

The second year consists of eight months' study at the College. On the completion
of the course a diploma is granted. Tuition is $50.00 per semester to residents of the
Commonwealth.

For a complete catalog of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, containing an
application blank, write to Director Roland H. Verbeck, Massachusetts State College,

GENERAL INFORMATION.

HISTORY.

Graduate courses leading to the degree of doctor of science were offered
in botany under President Clark and in chemistry under Professor Goess-
mann as early as 1876. No candidate, however, completed the require-
ments for that degree. It was not until 1892, under President Henry H.
Goodell, that courses leading to the degree of master of science were
offered. This degree was first conferred in June, 1896, on two candidates.
Graduate courses leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy were
first offered in 1897, with chemistry, botany and entomology as major
and minor subjects. The first degree was conferred on one candidate
in June, 1902.

In the early years the graduate work was conducted under the direct
administration of the President in conjunction with the four year courses.
The demand for advanced work increased, however, and in June, 1908,
the trustees made the Graduate School a separate unit in the College
and appointed a director. Beginning with July 1, 1930, the responsibilities
of the Graduate School were combined with those of the Agricultural
Experiment Station. This arrangement is proving mutually beneficial by
making the staff and equipment of the Experiment Station available for
service in the Graduate School, and in turn providing an opportunity to
utilize the services of graduate students in organized research projects.

LOCATION AND LANDS.

Massachusetts State College is located in Amherst, a town of about six
thousand people, overlooking one of the most picturesque sections of the
Connecticut Valley. From the standpoint of teaching material in the field
of science and agriculture, the location is ideal. Amherst is eighty-eight
miles from Boston, fifty miles from Worcester, twenty-five miles from
Springfield, eighteen miles from Greenfield and eight miles from North-
ampton. Busses connect the town with Northampton, Greenfield, Holyoke
and Springfield, or it can be reached direct over the General Vennont
Railroad. The campus consists of a tract of approximately seven hundred
acres, lying about a mile north of the village center. The College is well
provided with modern buildings and equipment, description of which
may be found in the general catalogue.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL.
The purpose of the Graduate School is to provide qualified students
with proper guidance in the methods of advanced study and research.
Courses leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy, master of science,
and master of landscape architecture are available. Students who desire
advanced courses but who do not wish to become candidates for an ad-
vanced degree are also admitted.

Doctor of Philosophy.
Candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy are required to pur-
sue study in three subjects, one of which is designated as the major, and
the others as minors. An original thesis is considered a part of the
major subject. The degree is conferred upon graduate students who
have met the following requirements: —

1. The devotion of at least three years to three subjects of study and
research.

2. The earning of not less than ninety credits of which not less than
sixty shall be in the chief or major subject, and not less than fifteen in
each of two minor subjects.

3. The preparation of a satisfactory thesis.

4. The passing of final examinations, written and oral, in both the
major and minor subjects.

5. The presentation of evidence of a working knowledge of both
French and German.

6. The passing of a public oral examination.

7. The payment of all College fees and expenses.

It should be emphasized that the requirements for this degree are not
computed primarily in terms of time and credits but that the degree is
conferred only upon such students as have reached satisfactory attain-
ment in some special branch of learning.

Master of Science.

Candidates for the degree of master of science are required to pursue
study in two subjects, one of which is designated as major and the other
as minor. When desirable and approved by the director, the minor may
be made up of subjects from more than one department. An original
thesis is considered a part of the major subject.

The degree is conferred upon graduate students who have met the
following requirements : —

1. The devotion of at least one year to two subjects of study and
research.

2. The earning of not less than thirty credits, of which approximately
two thirds shall be in the major subject.

3. The preparation of a satisfactory thesis in the major subject ex-
cept in education where this is optional.

4. The passing of final examinations, written and oral, in the major
subject.

5. The payment of all College fees and expenses.

Master op Landscape Architecture.
Candidates for the degree of master of landscape architecture are
expected to conform to the established courses as specified by the depart-
ment of landscape architecture. The degree is conferred upon graduate
students who have met the following requirements : —

1. Work covering at least three years, of which a minimum of one and
one-half years must be devoted to study in residence, and a minimum of
one year spent in practice outside of the College, specific requirements
concerning the nature of such practice to be laid down by the department.

2. Submission of a complete written report on the work done in prac-
tice outside of the College.

3. Written approval from the employer as to the quality of service
during the period devoted to practice outside of College.

4. Preparation of a satisfactory thesis.

5. The presentation of convincing evidence of genuine aptitude for
some branch of landscape architecture as design, construction or manage-
ment.

6. Completion of final examinations.

7. Payment of all College fees and expenses.

The degree of bachelor of landscape architecture may be earned upon
the completion of one year of specialized work in that field. (See page 36.)

ADMISSION.
Admission to the Graduate School will be granted: —

1. To graduates of Massachusetts State College.

2. To graduates of other institutions of good standing who have re-
ceived a bachelor's degree substantially equivalent to that conferred by
this College.

ENROLLMENT FOR A DEGREE.
Admission to the Graduate School is not to be interpreted as implying
admission to candidacy for an advanced degree in any given department.
Such candidacy is subject to specific requirements laid down by the
several departments, and the student must secure the approval of the
head of the department in which he desires to major before he can be-
come a candidate for a degree in that subject.

STUDY IN RESIDENCE.

It is understood that, in general, graduate credit will be granted only
for courses pursued in residence, that is, in regularly approved courses
conducted by a qualified member of the staff of Massachusetts State
College.

Under certain conditions, and then only by special arrangement with
the director of the graduate school, credit earned elsewhere will be ac-
cepted to apply on the requirements for the degree.

Non-Degree Enrollment.
Graduate work may be taken by students who are not candidates for a
degree. Such enrollment permits the special privilege of a wider range
in the selection of courses. The courses selected should, however, bear
an appropriate relation to one another and be within the confines of the
preparation of the student. A statement of the subjects chosen must, in
each case, be submitted to the director of the Graduate School for ap-
proval.

Prerequisites.

In case an applicant has not completed in his undergraduate work as
much of the subject he desires to select for his major study as is re-
quired of graduates of Massachusetts State College, he will be expected
to pursue such undergraduate courses in that subject as the head of the
department may consider necessary, without credit toward the advanced
degree.

In the case of minor subjects for advanced degrees, credit begins to
accrue from the point where the previous training of the applicant ended,
whether it be graduate or undergraduate in its rating at this College —
subject, however, to such limitations as may be fixed by the department
concerned.

General Statement.

A working knowledge of French and German is considered important
for successful graduate work in practically all the major lines, and is
required for the doctor of philosophy degree. Students not offering
modern language for admission will be given an opportunity to acquire
same along with their graduate work.

The courses listed under departmental statements in the succeeding
pages constitute the principal and characteristic work of the graduate
student.

The College reserves the right to make changes in the requirements
for degrees without notice.

A thesis must be on a topic in the fiejd of the candidate's major sub-
ject, and must indicate that its writer possesses the ability and imagina-
tion necessary to do independent, constructive thinking. The follovi^ing
rules should be adhered to in the preparation and presentation of a
thesis : —

1. The objective of a thesis should be an attempt to make real con-
tribution to knov^ledge and practice. When completed it should be of a
quality worthy of publication as a contribution from the department
concerned.

2. The thesis, in its completed form, will be judged largely upon the
ability of the author to review literature and reach definite deductions;
to formulate a problem, plan a method of attack, and work out a solution ;
and to summarize his material and draw conclusions. Scholastic attain-

merit in writing and presenting the results of the study will also be an
important factor in the evaluation. No thesis markedly poor in its Eng-
lish will be accepted.

3. After the student, in consultation with his major adviser (head of
the department in which the student selects his major), decides upon a
thesis subject, he is required to submit an outline to the director of the
Graduate School. The director, with this as a basis, selects from the
graduate staff a thesis committee to which the student then submits the
outline for approval. This committee will, thereafter, have direct charge
of all matters pertaining to said thesis, and it is recommended that the
student use the advice available from this source in the progress of his
research. The thesis must have the approval of this committee before
arrangements are made for the final examination for the degree.

4. Three complete, bound copies of the thesis, including drawings and
any other accessories, are required by the graduate school office in order
that the files in the director's office, the College library and the depart-
ment in which the thesis was prepared may be supplied.

5. If the thesis is printed, whether in periodical or book form, the
fact that it is a thesis submitted for an advanced degree at Massachusetts
State College shall be explicitly stated in the title itself or as a footnote
on the front page. Such modifications as may be deemed necessary for
publication shall have the approval of the director.

6. Because of the time required to give adequate consideration to the
research conducted by the student, it is highly desirable that theses be
submitted to the committee, in the case of doctors' theses, not later than
March 15, and in the case of masters' theses, not later than May 15 of
the academic year in which the degrees are to be conferred. The theses
in their final form shall be deposited with the director by June 1.

7. If typewritten, whether designed for publication or to remain in
the typewritten form, the size of the sheet, the arrangement of the title
page, the general structure of the thesis, the character of the paper, and
the binding must conform to definite standards.

A. Size of sheet. Size of sheet must measure 8^/2 x 11 inches.

B. Form of title page. The title page must be arranged in this order : —

a. Subject.

b. Name of author,

c. "Thesis submitted for degree of — ".

d. "Massachusetts State College, Amherst."

e. Date.

and should be distributed over the page as artistically as possible.

C. Following the title page, the arrangement may take such form, vari-

able of course with the subject matter, as is illustrated below : —

a. An analytical outline of thesis.

b. An introductory statement in which the purposes of the author

are set forth.

c. The body of the thesis composed of literature critically reviewed

and deductions made, formulation of method of attack or proce-
dure, and results secured. (All literature reviews and any work
done by others should be so separated that no question can be
raised as to which portion of the thesis represents the original
investigation. It should be clearly kept in mind that compilation
is not considered original investigation.)

d. Summary and conclusions.

e. Bibliography. (This should have the approval of the chairman of

the thesis committee before final arrangement.)

f. Acknowledgments.

g. statements of approval signed by members of the thesis com-
mittee.

D. Paper. See sample in College store.

E. Binding. See sample of binding in director's office.

8. All theses are the property of the College and subject to the will of
the director of the Graduate School.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS.

For the degree of doctor of philosophy final examinations on the minors
are given upon the completion of the subjects. In the major subject, a
written examination, if successfully passed, is followed by an oral ex-
amination in the presence of the graduate staff.

For the degree of master of science, or master of landscape architec-
ture, a final examination in the major subject, which may be written or
oral, or both, is given by the department concerned.

ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES.

A charge of $50 per semester, payable in advance, which covers tuition,
laboratory and student health fees, is imposed on students who are resi-
dents of Massachusetts. For residents of other states or foreign coun-
tries, this charge is $110 per semester. In cases where students carry
less than a full schedule of courses, a special tuition rate is provided. For
purposes of definition, all students claiming residence in the State shall
at time of admission provide the treasurer's office with an official state-
ment from their town or city clerk as evidence. Also, the student must
present evidence of successful vaccination.

Board should not be in excess of $9 per week, with a minimum of about
$6. Rooms for graduate students are not available in the College dormi-
tories, but can be rented in private homes at from $15 to $20 per month.
The costs of books and incidentals should not exceed $100 per year.

TEACHING FELLOWS
Through a fund set aside for that purpose, the College offers a number
of teaching fellowships. The value of these is limited to $600 per year,
and appointment is made for a one-year period. These appointments are
especially suited to students who desire to gain teaching experience and
make themselves at least partly self-supporting while continuing their
education. It shoud be recognized, however, that, in cases where stu-
dents render this part-time service, in return for the financial assistance
extended, the residence time requirements for the degree in question
are necessarily longer. Application for appointment to these fellowships
should be made to the director of the Graduate School or to the Head
of the Department in which the candidate's major interest lies.

RESEARCH FELLOWS

The Agricultural Experim.ent Station in its program of investigation
frequently finds it desirable to utilize the services of graduate students
qualified to do certain types of technical work required in connection with
its several research projects. Funds are available for this purpose and
qualified students may be elected to such fellowships. Not infrequently
this arrangement affords an opportunity for the student to satisfy his
thesis requirement by completing some unit of v/ork within a larger
project organized in the research program of the Experiment Station.

In recent years industrial concerns have been rather anxious to have
certain investigations undertaken for them by the Experiment Station.
For this service they are willing to lend financial support, and in deserv-
ing cases it has proven very desirable to accept and utilize these funds for
fellowship purposes. At present several fellowships are supported on this

basis. These are proving very satisfactory from the standpoint both of
the student and the industry supporting the investigation.

GRADUATE COURSES DURING THE SUMMER.
The College offers opportunities to pursue graduate courses during the
summer in connection with the Summer School. While provision may
be made for special study with several departments during the sum-
mer period, the scheduled courses are offered primarily for teachers who
seek advanced work in education and closely related subjects for purposes
of better preparing themselves for more effective service in the teaching
profession. Details regarding courses offered, facilities for study, en-
vironment, etc., may be found in the Summer School catalogue, a copy of
which is available upon request to the director of Short Courses,

Food Technology.

Opportunity for advanced study in food technology is provided in order
that qualified students may better prepare themselves to serve the num-

a more desirable food supply. The plan for study arranged for this major
while intended to be flexible requires the student to confine himself
largely to the graduate courses offered in the following fields: Bacteri-
ology, Chemistry, Dairy Industry, Horticultural Manufactures, and Hu-
man Nutrition. These courses, if properly selected, will satisfy both
major and minor requirements. The proportionate contribution of each
department will depend upon the student's special interests within the
field but a minimum of six credits must be earned in each of the depart-
ments contributing to this major. Candidates for a degree in this major
are assigned to an Advisory Committee composed of representatives of
the departments concerned with the Director of the Graduate School as
Chairman. This Committee will direct the student's program in the
hope that a procedure may be arranged that will provide most adequate
facilities for the expression of individuality. The general requirements
for a degree in food technology conform to those specified for the doctor
of philosophy degree as provided by several departments except that this
major offers a wider range of subject matter. Students interested should
consult the Director of the Graduate School.

partment of Forestry and Wildlife Management with the advice of con-
tributing departments. The flexibility provided through the selection of

Information Concerning The College

HISTORICAL SKETCH

One of the outstanding achievements of the middle of the nineteenth century was
the remarkable development in the field of science. This, in turn, brought about great
changes in industry, transportation and agriculture and stimulated the desire for new
information and further training. People were enthusiastic about the possibilities of
the future. It is not surprising, therefore, that scientific courses gradually found their
way into the academies and colleges, though not without opposition from the friends
of the old classical training. In many instances, institutions founded along literary
and philosophical lines did not favor the introduction of courses based on the needs
of students desiring to perfect themselves in the technical principles and practices of
the arts and industry. Nevertheless the demand for such courses increased. It was
evident that the old order of education was changing but at the time the new was not
apparent. It was under such conditions that Massachusetts State College had its birth.

The Morrill Act.

This demand for technical education finally crystallized into a bill before Congress
known as the Morrill Act of 1862 endowing colleges for this purpose in every state
of the Union. The biU provided in each state for "the endowment for and mainte-
nance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other
scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach 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 pursuits and professions
of life."

FOUNDLNG AND EaRLY GrOWTH OF THE COLLEGE.

The Trustees of Massachusetts Agricultural College were incorporated in 1863 and
officers were appointed in that year. It was not until October 2, 1867, however, that
the institution at Amherst was formally opened to students. At that time there were
four teachers on the faculty and four wooden buildings on the campus. The number
of students steadily increased during the first term and by December, 1867, forty -seven
had been admitted. From this modest beginning the College has grown steadily and
its influence has been felt in many parts of the world. On April IS, 1931, the name
of the institution was changed by legislative enactment to Massachusetts State College.

Scope of the Institution.

In a sense, experimental work is as old as the institution, for even during its earliest
years some very important investigations were carried on by the instructors. Research
work was established as a separate unit, however, in 1882, when the State provided
for the establishment of an agricultural experiment station here. In 1887 another
experimental unit, the Hatch Experiment Station, was provided by Federal appropria-
tion. These two stations were combined in 1895 and have since been known as the
Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station.

State law also provides for the maintenance at this College of a Control Serxice
to regulate the sale of certain agricultural products for the protection of purchasers
and also to eliminate certain diseases of poultry.

The Extension Service of the College was established in 1909 and was first sup-
ported by grants of Federal Funds in 1914. This division of the College undertakes

Part II. 21

the large responsibility of teaching adults and boys and girls throughout the State,
who cannot come to the College for instruction, better methods in agriculture and
home-making.

Resident Instruction.

Opportunities for resident instruction have expanded greatly since the founding of
the College in 1863. In addition to the four-year course leading to the Bachelor of
Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees, there are now offered such short courses as the
Winter School, Summer School, and the two-year course in practical agriculture
known as the Stockbridge School. The Graduate School offers opportunity for study
for advanced degrees. The curriculum of the four-year course includes comprehensive
courses in Agriculture, Home Economics, Horticulture, Humanities, Landscape Archi-
tecture, Physical and Biological Sciences, Physical Education and Social Sciences. The
aim is to give to each student as high a degree of proficiency in some particular branch
of learning as is possible without sacrificing the breadth of knowledge and training
which should characterize the well-rounded college course.

THE COLLEGE CAMPUS.

Hand in hand with this steady growth of the College, there has come a marked
expansion in physical equipment. The original farm of 1867, with its run-down fields
and degenerated apple orchards cut up here and there by old Virginia rail fences and
hedge rows, has metamorphosed into one of the most attractive college campuses in
New England. A brief statement of land, buildings and equipment will show to what
extent the original four wooden buildings have been out-grown.

Location and Lands.

Massachusetts State College is located in Amherst, a town of about six thousand
people, overlooking one of the most picturesque sections of the Connecticut Valley.
From the standpoint of teaching material in the field of science and agriculture, the
location is ideal. Amherst is eighty-eight miles from Boston and may be reached by
the Central Vermont Railroad, or by bus connections from Northampton, Holyoke,
Greenfield, and Springfield. The Campus consists of a tract of approximately seven
hundred acres, lying about a mile north of the village center. In addition the College
owns another area of seven hundred and fifty-five acres located about six miles north
of the campus on Mount Toby. This is used as a demonstration forest.

The College also operates a horticultural field station at Waltham and a cranberry
field station at Wareham.

This fine new building, completed in 1935, houses the College Library. It contains
one of the best collections in agriculture and related sciences in the country, with
especial strength in entomology, botany, chemistry, horticulture, landscape architecture,
soil science, and animal husbandry, but with considerable collections, also, in literature,
history, economics, and sociology. There are more than 116,000 bound books and 50,000
classified pamphlets giving most recent information.

The periodical file contains more than 5 SO current magazines, both scientific and
popular, and a careful selection of newspapers, together with many periodical publi-
cations of learned societies. The library is unusually rich in files of journals and
proceedings of Experiment Stations and learned societies.

Farm Buildings, Land and Equipment.

College Farm and Barns. — The College Farm consists of 240 acres located west
of the campus. The farm is used for instructional work in field crops, planning of
crop rotation, practical field operation of farm machinery and tractors, and farm
management. The livestock of the farm include about 175 head of registered cattle
representing the Ayrshire, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, Milking Shorthorns, and Here-
ford breeds, a considerable number of registered Chester White swine, a flock of
about 100 Shropshire and Southdown Sheep, 25 Percheron Horses, and a Morgan
stallion. These animals are used chiefly for demonstration and instruction in feeding
and herd management and in livestock judging.

Part II. 23

Poultry Plants. — The College or instructional Poultry Plant is a modern poultry
laboratory including classroom and laboratory buildings. The College maintains four
breeds of birds for use in judging, breeding, feeding, and management courses. A
wildlife unit is also maintained. The Tillson Experimental Poultry Farm also accom-
modates more than 1000 layers and is used for studies in poultry genetics and breeding.
Both farms permit a three-year rotation for about 5,000 growing chickens.

Nutrition Laboratory. — A laboratory for the study of small animals in connection
with investigations into nutrition, both human and animal.

25 of plums, 20 of pears, and 100 of apples. Common varieties of grapes are grown in
the vineyard and with the various approved trellis systems. These orchards are used
for teaching material in Pomology.

Vegetable Gardens. — Here are grown the class materials used by the Vegetable
Gardening Department.

Mt. Toby Demonstration Forest. — This is an area of approximately 750 acres located
on Mt. Toby. It contains the various types of forest growth found throughout the
State. It serves as a field laboratory in Forestry and Wild Life Management. Students
have the privilege of working out problems in silviculture, forest mensuration and man-
agement. Improvement cuttings, cutting for utilization and forest planning are con-
ducted here also.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

or Languages and Literature; or the departmental requirements for specialization in
Economics, Education, Psychology, or Sociology and supplement these with eighteen
credits from the following group: History, Languages and Literature, Philosophy,
Political Science, Music and Art.

Special arrangement is made for some graduates of county agricultural schools and
of agricultural departments of certain high schools to receive the degree of Bachelor of
Vocational Agriculture for four years of college work.

Ftv&-Y ear Course in Landscape Architecture. — A five-year course is offered in Land-
scape Architecture leading to the degree of Bachelor of Landscape Architecture.

Graduate School. — The degrees of Master of Science, Master of Landscape Archi-
tecture and Doctor of Philosophy may be granted upon the completion of satisfactory
study, research and a thesis.

24 P.D. 31

Summer School. — Both graduate and undergraduate courses are offered in the six

weeks summer school and credits earned may apply toward the Bachelor's degree or

advanced degrees.

Several short courses in agriculture are offered which do not lead to a degree. These

are for the benefit of those who are not prepared to take the degree course or who desire

only a practical training in modern agriculture methods.

Stockbridge School of Agriculture. — This is a two-year course in practical agriculture
offering a high type of training to those who wish to enter some special agricultural
enterprise. A separate descriptive catalogue will be sent on request.

Winter School. — A ten weeks practical course in agricultural and horticultural subjects
begins about January first each year. The courses are so arranged that a student may
choose such subjects as will enable him to specialize in the line of work in which he
is most interested. A catalogue is available on request.

HEALTH SERVICE.

The College endeavors to safeguard the health of all students while on the campus
and for this purpose maintains a Department of Student Health staffed by two physicians
and two resident registered nurses, and a group of three Infirmary buildings.

(1) Physical examination by the Health Service is required annually of all undergraduate
students, or more often if indicated. This examination is given to freshmen during
matriculation week. Evidence of a SUCCESSFUL smallpox vaccination is required.

(2) The Student Health physicians have offices in the Physical Education Building and
in the Out-Patient Infirmary Building, where they may be consulted during college
hours.

(3) The Infirmary consists of 3 buildings, one for bed patients, one for contagious cases,
and one for out-patient cases, where the out-patient clinic is conducted daily by
one of the Student Health physicians.

(4) The students are urged to consult the resident physicians at the first sign of physical
disorder, or even for minor accidents. Many severe illnesses and much lost time
can be avoided by early or preventive treatment.

(5) No charge is made to Infirmary bed patients for the first seven days in the school
year; time in excess of seven days will be charged at the rate of S2 per day. A
nominal charge may be made to out-patients for miscellaneous treatments.

(6) In addition to the fee charged as specified in paragraph S, the following additional
expenses will be charged to the patient.

(a) Nurses. — If a special nurse is required for the proper care of an individual
the services and board of this nurse will be paid by the patient. Such a nurse
will be under the general supervision of the resident nurse.

(b) Professional Service. — If a student requires continuous medical attention by
a physician, he may be required to select a town physician and become respon-
sible for fees charged by that physician.

(d) Laundry. — Expenses for personal laundry incurred by students while in the
Infirmary will be charged to the individual student.

STUDENT EXPENSES.

Student college expenses vary from approximately $500 per year to $600 for the
normally economical student. First year expenses are usually greater that those of the
other three years and there is less opportunity in this year to earn. It is, therefore,
recommended to the entering student that he have available at least $500 with which
to meet the expenses of the first year. Women students are recommended to plan on
a minimum expense of $550.

The following summary of a year's expenses includes only those items which are
strictly college costs and does not include amounts for clothing, travel, etc., which

Graduation Requirements.

No student will be graduated unless all bills due the College are paid ten days
preceding the graduation exercise. If paid after that date and otherwise eligible he
may graduate the following year.

Advance Payment.

New students will be expected to make an advance payment of $15 to the Treasurer
of the College as soon as they are notified by the Dean that they are accepted for
admission. This will be considered as first payment on registration fees which will be
due at time of matriculation in September and will be returned to the student if he
advises the College before August 20 that he will not present himself for admission.
If the student fails to notify the College of withdrawal before that date this preliminary
payment will be forfeited.

Refunds.

A student who leaves the College for any reason before a semester is half completed
wDl have refunded to him one-half the fees paid for that semester, but one who leaves
after a semester is half over will be allowed no rebate of fees and a refund only of
unused board charges. There will be no refund of prepaid rent.

College Fees.

In accordance with policy established by the Board of Trustees, all charges for tuition,
fees, and room rent in College dormitories are due at the beginning of each semester
and must be paid within seven days of opening day.

Charges for board in the College Dining Hall are due at the beginning and approxi-
mately the middle of each semester on dates as specified below. These charges must
be paid within seven days of the due date.

As a public institution operating upon appropriation of public funds, it is not pos-
sible for the College to extend credit beyond the limits indicated above.

* This tax is for the support of student activities and entitles each student to participate in
the various enterprises represented.

^^ P.D. 31

Failure to meet College charges when due must result in the suspension of the
student. Fee for late registration, $1.00.

Tuition. — Residents of Massachusetts are charged a tuition fee of $100 per year, pay-
able in advance in two instalments of .$50 each on the first day of each semester. For
those who are not residents of Massachusetts, the tuition fee is $220 per year. Students
entering from Massachusetts are required to file with the Treasurer a statement signed
by town or city clerk, stating that the applicant's father or legal guardian is a legal
resident of Massachusetts, unless applicant himself is of legal age, in which case a similar
statement must be filed indicating his own legal residence. Where the guardian is
certifying to this statement, it will be necessary for him to furnish a copy of his ap-
pointment by the court.

Military- Uniform. — All students taking military drill are required to make a deposit
of $20 for the uniform. A rebate of this amount is made when the uniform is returned.
Boots are also furnished at approximately $4.00 per pair.

Board. — All freshman students and all residents of college dormitories are required
to board at the College Dining Hall. However, upper-class men, residents of dormitories,
may board off-campus in approved dining halls which are under faculty supervision.
Service is on a cafeteria basis and students pay in advance at the rate of approximately
$6.00 per week, as follows:

At the opening of college . $60.50

At December 2 36.45

At the beginning of second semester 40.75

Upon return from spring recess 56.55

For absences of one week or more rebates at the rate of $5.00 per week may be
granted provided the absence is authorized by the Dean and the rebate approved by
the Treasurer. No rebates will be allowed for absences of less than one week.

If a student's home is nearby and for this or any similar reason he is regularly absent
from the campus over week ends, upon request from his parent or guardian, approved
by the Dean of the College, he may board in the College Dining Hall for a five-day
week (fifteen consecutive meals beginning with Monday breakfast) at the rate of
80 percent of that paid for a seven day week.

Rooms.

It is the policy of the Board of Trustees that freshman men and women students
unless given permission to commute shall be housed in campus dormitories. Dormitor>'
rooms are also available for upper-class students. Those who cannot be so housed live
in fraternity or sorority houses, or in private homes.

Dormitories will be open for occupancy on the Saturday preceding the opening of
College.

Rooms are furnished except for necessary bedding and linen and are cared for by
the students occupying them. Each occupant is held for any damage done.

All student property must be removed from the rooms immediately after the final
examinations in June and not later than noon of the Friday of Commencement week.
Such property not removed by the owner will be removed by the College and stored
at the owner's expense.

The general supervision of housing of all students is in charge of the Faculty Com-
mittee on Housing.

Women Students.

a. All freshman girls will be assigned rooms in campus dormitories. The Adviser of
Women may excuse any at her discretion for the reasons that they wish to live at
home or that they have opportunity to earn board and room in a private residence.

b. All sophomore girls will live in campus dormitories in so far as accommodations
are available unless excused by the Adviser of Women.

Part II. 27

c. Upper-class girls may live in campus dormitories if accommodations are available
and their wishes will take precedence over the sophomore requirement. Their
selection of rooms will be by lot under the supervision of the Adviser of Women.

d. At the close of each college year all sophomore girls will draw lots for dormitory
rooms for the next year. Assignments to rooms will be made in accordance with
the sequence fixed by this draw. As vacancies occur during the year, the Adviser
of Women will assign these vacated rooms to sophomore girls in accordance
with this sequence and any student thus assigned to a dormitory room must take
up residence there within two weeks after receipt of notice.

e. It is expected that not more than one sophomore girl from any one sorority will
be assigned dormitory room in any single year under the provisions of "d."

Men Students.

a. Assignment of rooms for men is in charge of the Registrar.

b. Upper-class men wishing dormitory rooms should apply at the Registrar's office
before May 1. Those who cannot be accommodated in the dormitories will be
given permission to live in private homes.

Student Aid.

Students desiring any form of financial aid from the college — scholarship, employ-
ment, or loan — are required to file application with the Student Aid Committee not
later than June 10 of each year on a standard application form indicating the form
of aid desired. Incoming freshmen are allowed an extension of time.

These application forms are used to determine the comparative need of the appli-
cants and are passed on by the Student Aid Committee. No student is eligible for
any kind of financial assistance from the College unless he or she has filed the re-
quired forms and has been certified as deserving by the Student Aid Committee. Ap-
plication forms may be secured at the Placement Service Office, South College.

For loans a special form is required in addition to the above forms. This blank
can be obtained at the Placement Office.

In order to give assistance to as many needy students as possible, the Student Aid
Committee has adopted the general policy to limit financial aid per student to the
equivalent of board at the college Dining Hall, or approximately $200.00.

Student Employment.

The College affords opportunity for part-time employment for a limited number of
needy students. The number of applicants usually far exceeds the number of positions
open so that no guarantee can be made that a student v/ill find employment through
the College. The College Placement Service renders every possible assistance to deserv-
ing students in search of employment. Besides such opportunities on the campus as
waiters and kitchen helpers at the dining hall, janitors for buildings, assistants on the
farm and in college laboratories, there are some opportunities in private homes and
businesses in the town.

Prospective students are cautioned not to depend too much upon their earning
capacity the first year. Students who are planning to enter college for the first time,
therefore, are advised that they should have at least $500.00 available with which to
meet the expenses of the first year. Some students stay out of school for a year after
graduating from high school in order to work and save this amount.

N. Y. A. Work Program

The College has been granted student employment funds by the Federal Government
since the adoption of the program. The policy of the Federal Administration cannot be
predicted, but it is safe to assume that as long as student relief projects are in effect this
College will be a participant. The type of work to which students are assigned under
N. Y. A. projects consists of the following: Clerical and office, library and museum,
laboratory and research assistance, reading and grading papers and miscellaneous types.

In addition to the college projects, community projects are organized consisting of the
following types of work: Education, recreation, health and welfare and other miscel-
laneous types.

28 P.D. 31

The rate of pay is 30 cents per hour. Advances are made for meritorious service. The

positions are based on the average earning capacity of $15.00 per month. Tlie number of

positions assigned to our college the past year was ten per cent of our total student

enrollment.

Due consideration is given to new students in making job assignments to this work

program.

Scholarships.

Scholarships are awarded only to needy students of high character, whose habits of
life are economical and who have maintained an average of at least 70% in their
college course during the preceding year. Scholarships from the Crane and Ward Funds
may be granted to applicants for admission to the College provided they are candidates
for a degree, are in need of financial assistance and are able to meet the entrance require-
ments in full. Complete information relative to the student's need for financial aid must
be presented before any application can be acted upon. Scholarships are paid in install-
ments at the beginning of each semester in the form of a credit on the student's bill.
A scholarship may be discontinued at the close of any semester if the scholastic record
of the recipient is unsatisfactory.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

No small part of the value received from four years of college is the training that one
acquires through participation in student activities. Student organizations offer excellent
opportunities for leadership in a wide varety of fields.

Student Government.
The Senate. — This is a student governing council. It is composed of representatives
elected from the junior and senior classes. Besides acting as general director of under-
graduate conduct it represents the interests of the students and the student body before
the Faculty.

Adelphia. — This is a senior honorary society. The members are usually chosen from
those who have been prominent in college activities. The society attempts in a quiet,
unassuming way to mold student life on the campus.

The Honor Council. — The Honor System prevails at this College. The foreword of
the Honor System reads as follows: "We, the students of Massachusetts State College,
beUeve that the goal of education is character. The man of character deals fairly with
himself, and with others, and would rather suffer failure than stoop to fraud. The Honor
System stands for this attitude in all relations of the students with the Faculty. In
expression of our belief we pledge ourselves to the support of the constitution of the
Honor System." Matters pertaining to the Honor System are in direct charge of the
Student Honor Council, consisting of members elected from the four classes.

32 P.D. 31

The Women's Student Council. — All appropriate matters pertaining to the conduct
of women students are under the control of this council. It is composed of members
selected by all the women students from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes.

Academic Activities.

The College Musical Clubs include an orchestra, a band, and men's and women's glee
clubs. These make various public appearances during the year.

The Dramatic Club, the Roister Doisters, presents annually a revue and two plays,
one in the winter, and the other at Commencement. There is a Debating Society which
conducts both intramural and intercollegiate debates. All academic activities are super-
vised by the Academic Activities Board composed of alumni, faculty, and students, and
find recognition in semi-annual award of gold and silver medals.

"The Massachusetts Collegian" is a weekly newspaper, published by the undergraduates
of the college and featuring a quarterly literary supplement.

"The Index" is the college yearbook.

College Fraternities and Sororities.

There are several national and local fraternities represented on the campus. Rushing
rules and general matters dealing with fraternity life are in charge of the Inter-fraternity
Council. This council awards scholarships, a baseball cup, and a relay plaque to the
winners of the Inter-fraternity Contests.

There are also several local sororities and an Inter-sorority Council which deals with
affairs of interest to all of the societies.

Inter- Collegl-vte Athletics.

The College is represented in inter-collegiate athletics by teams in all the leading sports.
including football, baseball, track, hockey, soccer, swimming and basketball. General
policies, governing athletics are directed by the Athletic Board, composed of Alumni,
Faculty, and students.

Professional Clubs.

There are several professional clubs established in connection with the various major
courses of study. These clubs stimulate the students' professional interest in their
chosen subject-matter fields and afford opportunity for discussion of technical subjects
of mutual interest.

Religious Organizations.

Four religious organizations are active on the Campus: The Christian Federation, the
Menorah Club (for Jewish students), the Newman Club (for Catholic students), and
the Stockbridge Y (for two-year students). These four organizations unite in forming
a Student Religious Council which strives both to further amity among the religious
faiths and to promote religious activities and thinking in the student body. These various
religious organizations are sponsored by a Faculty Committee on Religious Work and
are under the supervision of the Director of Religious Activities. The College conducts
a vesper service each Sunday at five o'clock during the school year at which some of
the great religious leaders of our country speak.

The Social Union.

The Social Union was established in 1907. All students become members of the Union
in consideration of a small part of the Student Activities Fee. In the fall and winter
months the Union gives a series of entertainments.

STANDARDS OF DEPORTMENT.

The customary high standard of college men and women in honor, self-respect and
consideration for the rights of others constitutes the standards of student deportment.

The privileges of the College may be withdrawn from any student at any time, if
such action is deemed advisable.

It should be understood that the College, acting through its President or any adminis-
trative officer designated by him, distinctly reserves the right, not only to suspend or

Part II. 3,3

dismiss students, but also to name conditions under which students may remain in the
institution. For example, if a student is not doing creditable work he may not only
be disciplined but he may also be required to meet certain prescribed conditions in
respect to his studies, even though under the foregoing rules his status as a student be
not affected. The same provision applies equally to the matter of absences ("cuts").
According to the rules, juniors and seniors are allowed a certain percentage of absences
from class and other exercises. This permission, which implies a privilege and not a
right, may be withdrawn at any time for any cause.

FRESHMAN REGISTRATION.

All members of the incoming freshman class are required to be in residence on the
campus for the period of September IS to September 20, inclusive. This period
is known as Freshman Week. During this week will be given the several psychological
examinations and tests required of freshmen. In addition, physical examinations will
be given to the men students. Such matters as pertain to schedule and section assign-
ments will be taken care of at the same time. Lectures on student activities, college
customs, and college curriculum will be given also. The object of this week is to intro-
duce the new student into the College, so that only the minimum amount of time
will be lost when the actual studies begin.

Admission to Collegiate Courses

A. APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION.

Correspondence concerning admission should be addressed to the Registrar's office.

Every applicant for admission to the College must be at least sixteen years old, and
must present proper testimonials of character, which, whenever possible, should come
from the principal of the school at which the applicant has prepared for college. Enrol-
ment of students is limited. Candidates for admission are advised to file their applica-
tions by March 1 of the year in which they plan to enrol. The application must be
received at the Registrar's office by June 1 if the candidate is to be considered on the
first list of selections. Application blanks may be obtained by writing the Registrar
of the College.

B. MODES OF ADMISSION.

Students are admitted to the freshman class either upon certificate or upon examina-
tion. No diploma from a secondary school will be accepted.

1. Admission by Certificate. — Massachusetts State College is affiliated with the New
England College Entrance Certificate Board. Certification from high and preparatory
schools on this Board will be acceptable as well as that from schools listed as Class
"A" by the State Department of Education but not included on the member list of the
Certificate Board. Principals of schools in New England who desire to apply for the
certificate privilege should write the Secretary of the Board, Dean W. L. Machmer,
Massachusetts State College, Amherst, Massachusetts. Certificates from schools outside
of New England may be received if those schools are on the approved list of the leading
colleges of the section in which the school in question is located.

The credentials of the Board of Regents of the State of New York are accepted as
satisfying the entrance requirements when offered subject for subject, provided the grades
are satisfactory.

Certificates in order to be accepted must present in the prescribed and restrictive
elective groups at least three of the necessary fourteen and one-half units. It is to be
understood, however, that responsibility for certification in either elementary French,
elementary German, English 1 or English 2, Latin A, Greek A or Algebra, must be
assumed by one school, if the candidate has received his preparation in any one subject
named above in more than one school. Subjects lacking on certificate must be made
up at the time of the examinations for admission. Conditions to the amount of two
units will be allowed.

Blank forms for certification — sent to principals or school superintendents only — may
be obtained on application to the Registrar of the College.

2. Admission by Four Comprehensive Examinations. — By this plan a candidate's
qualifications for admission will be based upon the following considerations:

(a) School Record: A candidate must present to the Committee on Entrance a
complete transcript of his secondary school course giving the subjects and the grades
for the four years previous to college entrance, and a confidential estimate of character,
personality, and promise of ability to do college work from the school principal. This
should be sent to the Dean not later than May 1. The Committee must give its per-
mission before the applicant may take the examinations.

(6) The following comprehensive examinations must be taken unless for satisfactory
reasons the Committee allows a substitution: —

1. EngHsh three units.

2. Mathematics, either Mathematics Beta or Mathematics A.

Part II. 35

These must be the College Entrance Examination Board Plan B examinations given
in June. A candidate under this plan will be admitted without condition or refused
admission. In the event that a substitution is allowed for foreign language the student
must take at least one year of modern language in college without receiving college
credit therefor.

3. Special Certificate Arrangement for Students from Agricultural Schools. —
Superior graduates of Vocational Schools of Agriculture in Massachusetts and Voca-
tional Agricultural Departments in Massachusetts High Schools may be accepted for the
Degree of Bachelor of Vocational Agriculture provided: —

issued by the College Entrance Examination Board, or its equivalent, will be accepted.
This work should occupy one school year and include laboratory and supplementary
textbook study. For one-half unit of credit, work that covers the same ground but
occupies half the time required for a full unit of credit will be accepted. These require-
ments are met by such texts as Stevens' Introduction to Botany and Bergen & Davis'
Principles of Botany. A notebook, containing neat, accurate drawings and descriptive
records forms part of the requirement for either the half-unit or the one-unit credit.
The careful preparation of an herbarium is recommended to all prospective students of
this College, although the herbarium is not required.

Chemistry.

The entrance examination in chemistry will cover the work outlined by the College
Entrance Examination Board as preparatory for college entrance. In general, this
consists of a year of high school chemistry from any standard textbook, with laboratory
work on the properties of the common elements and their simpler compounds. No par-
ticular work is prescribed. The keeping of a notebook is required.

Mathematics.

(a) Required. — Algebra: The four fundamental operations for rational algebraic
expressions; factoring, determination of highest common factor and lowest common
multiple by factoring; fractions, including complex fractions; ratio and proportion; linear
equations, buth numerical and literal, containing one or more unknown quantities ;
problems depending on linear equations; radicals, including the extraction of the square
root of polynomials and numbers; exponents, including the fractional and negative;
quadratic equations, both numerical and literal; simple cases of equations with one or
more unknown quantities that can be solved by the methods of linear or quadratic equa-
tions; problems depending upon quadratic equations; the binomial theorem for positive
integral exponents, the formulas for the «th term and the sum of the terms of arith-
metic and geometric progressions, with applications.

Plane Geometry: The usual theorems and constructions of good textbooks, includ-
ing the general properties of plane rectilinear figures; the circle and the measurement
of angles; similar polygons; areas, regular polygons and the measurement of the circle;
the solution of numerous original exercises, including loci problems, applications to the
mensuration of lines and plane surfaces.

{b) Electives. — SoHd Geometry: The usual theorems and constructions of good

Part II. 3Q

measurement of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones; the sphere and spherical triangle;
the solution of numerous original exercises, including loci problems; applications to the
mensuration of surface and solids.

Plane Trigonometry: A knowledge of the definitions and regulations of trigonometric
functions and of circular measurements and angles; proofs of the principal formulas
and the application of these formulas to the transformation of the trigonometric func-
tions; solution of trigonometric equations, the theory and use of logarithms, and the
solution of right and oblique triangles. Students should bring logarithm tables to the
examination.

Physics.

To satisfy the entrance requirements in physics, the equivalent of at least one unit
of work is required. This work must consist of both classroom work and laboratory
practice. The work covered in the classroom should be equal to that outlined in Hall
& Bergen's Textbook of Physics or Millikan & Gale; the laboratory work should repre-
sent at least thirty-five exi>eriments involving careful measurements, with accurate
recording of each in laboratory notebook.

Physiology.

Hough & Sedgwick's The Human Mechanism; Martin's The Human Body; Briefer
Course.

Zoology, Physical Geography, Geology.

Th following suggestions are made concerning preparation for admission in the subjects
named above: —

For physiography, Davis' Elementary Physical Geography; Gilbert & Brigham's Intro-
duction to Physical Geography, For zoology, textbooks entitled Animals or Animal
Studies, by Jordan, Kellogg and Heath; Linville & Kelley's A Textbook in General
Zoology. For geology, A. P. Brigham's A Textbook of Geology or Tar's Elementary
Geology.

History.

The required unit must be offered in either ancient history, medieval and modern
history, English history, or United States history and civics. Either one, two or three
elective units in any of the historical subjects here named may be offered, provided that
no unit be offered in the same subject in which the required unit has been offered.

Preparation in history will be satisfactory if made in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the committee of seven of the American Historical Association, as out-
lined by the College Entrance Examination Board. The examinations will require com-
parisons and the use of judgment by the candidate rather than the mere use of memory,
and it will presuppose the use of good textbooks, collateral reading and practice in
written work. Geographical knowledge may be tested by requiring the location of places
and movements on outline maps.

To indicate in a general way the character of the textbook work expected, the texts
of the following authors are suggested: Botsford, Morey or Myers, in ancient history
(to 814 A.D.) ; Montgomery, Larned or Cheyney, in English history; Fiske, together
with Muzzey and West, in United States history and civics.

English.

The study of English in school has two objectives: first, the ability to use the English
language, in both speech and writing, clearly, correctly and effectively; and, second,
the ability to read English literature with understanding and appreciation.

(1) Speech and Writing (Two Units). — The first objective m.akes necessary a rigorous
and reiterated instruction in grammar and composition, with special emphasis upon
spelling, sentence structure, punctuation and paragraph development.

(2) Reading (One Unit). — The second objective is that of the progressive, four-year
course in literature. The student should be trained to read aloud, to memorize significant
passages, to associate the books with their historic background and to have well in

46 P.D. 31

hand both content and structure. He should be prepared to answer general questions
upon poetry, the essay, prose fiction, the drama and biography by the representation
of varied and definite detail from such standard books as those recommended by the
College Entrance Examination Board in it:; current bulletin. However, accurate in
subject matter, no paper will be considered satisfactory if seriously defective in punctua-
tion, spelling or other essentials of good usage.

The candidate may effect admission in English: by passing the College Entrance
Examination Board's comprehensive examination (3 units), by certification, from an
accredited school, in English 1 (2 units) and English 2 (1 unit) ; or by passing this
College's examinations in these subjects in June or in September. Regardless of his
method of admission, however, he will be gravely handicapped in his freshman English
courses if inadequately prepared in any one of the three phases of study indicated in
this statement.

Foreign Languages.
(French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek.)

No examination for a third or a fourth unit of credit in any language will be given
unless the candidate has previously presented by certificate or by written examination
the two or three preceding units respectively in that language.

The preparation expected for each of the above units is that stated in the Definition
of Requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board.

* A maximum of three units may be offered in Greek. The College does not offer an entrance
examination in Greek.

Part II. 41

JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS.

The work of the junior and senior years is, with certain restrictions, elective under
the guidance of a special adviser, who is a member of the advisory committee of the
major group which the student selects during his freshman year as his field for pro-
fessional training. The aim of the last two years is to give to each student as high a
degree of proficiency in some one branch of learning as is possible without sacrificing
the breadth of knowledge and training which should characterize a well-rounded college

Part II. 43

Agricultural Economics and Farm Management.

Professor Lindsey, Professor Barrett, Mr. Dodds

The agricultural economics and farm management curriculum is planned to provide
a training not only for those proposing to enter actual farm production but also for
those fields of business closely related to agriculture. With the rapid development of
business allied to agriculture there has arisen a demand for agriculturally trained men
in many sections of the commercial world. Such lines as marketing of milk and other
dairy products, fruit and vegetable distribution, feed and fertilizer manufacturing and
marketing, canning and food preservation, agricultural machinery development and
utilization, and meat packing and distribution are offering opportunities for graduates
trained in agricultural business. The agricultural division of banks, insurance com-
panies, railroads, and similar organizations have openings for agricultural students with
statistical and business training. The fields of research, extension and teaching in state
and federal institutions and secondary schools, provide further openings for graduates
of agricultural economics and farm management.

* Students in the Division of Agriculture must successfully _ complete one summer of place-
ment training and must pass a comprehensive examination during the spring semester of their
senior year. Students are advised to arrange for their placement work immediately following the
sophomore year if possible.

The courses in agronomy are designed to give instruction concerning the basic knowl-
edge of the soil and its management, fertilizers and their use, and the principal products
of the field. An important objective of our undergraduate teaching is to give supporting
training to groups specializing in other departments. For undergraduates desiring to
specialize in agronomy adequate courses are offered, but for those expecting to go into
advanced educational or research work our graduate training is recommended as
preferable.

geant Jonathan Madden, U.S.A. Retired; Staff Sergeant Frank Cronk, Cav., U.S.A.; Staff
Sergeant Patrick Creary, Cav., U.S.A.; and a detachment of enlisted men of the United States
Army.

Under act of Congress, July 2, 1862, the College was required to provide a two-
year course in military instruction under a regular army officer. All able-bodied
four-year male students are required to take this course. Under act of Congress, June
3, 1916, as amended by act of Congress, September 8, 1916, there was established at
this college in April, 1917, an infantry unit of the. Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
. Following the World War and an act of Congress, July 19, 1918, the Reserve Officers'
Training Corps has been in operation under the regulation of the War Department,
administered by the president of the college and the professor of military science and
tactics. Beginning with the fall term, 1920-21, the infantry unit of the Reserve Offi-
cers' Training Corps was converted into a cavalry unit.

The primary object of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to provide systematic
military training at civil educational institutions, for the ultimate purpose of qualifying
selected students of such institutions as reserve officers in the military' forces of the
United States. It is intended to attain this object during the time the students are
pursuing their general or professional studies, with the least practicable interference
with their civil careers, by employing methods designed to fit men physically, mentally,
and morally for pursuits of peace as well as war.

The course for cavalry units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps includes theoretical
and practical instruction in all phases of cavalry work, so distributed over the four-
year college course as to qualify students at the end of the freshman year as privates
of cavalry, at the end of the sophomore year as non-com.missioned officers of cavalry,
and upon graduation as reserve officers. Forty per cent of the course is classroom
work. All practical instruction is out of doors.

the Federal Government at a rate to be fixed by the Secretary of War, not to exceed
the value of the army ration. The rate now is twenty-five cents per diem amounting
for the two years to $146.25 to which should be added pay at camp of $29.40 making
a cash value of $175.65. Advanced students are required to equip themselves with riding
boots but remainder of uniform is furnished by the government and becomes the
property of the student upon graduation. Students graduating in the advanced course
are eligible for commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps, but are not required to
accept such commissions if offered.

Uniforms for freshmen and sophomores are supplied by the government without cost
except for boots. A deposit of $20 is required to insure return of uniform articles. In
addition, the student is required to purchase one pair of boots through the Military
Department at a cost of about $4.20. The uniforms for the juniors and seniors (ad-
vanced course) are similar to U. S. army officers' uniforms tailor-made for the individual
student. A deposit of thirty-five dollars for this uniform is required at the beginning
of the junior year.

Required Courses.

The Graduate School

F. J. SiEVERS, Director.

Graduate courses leading to advanced degrees have been available at the College
practically since its establishment. At the beginning these courses leading to the
degrees of master of science and doctor of philosophy were confined almost entirely to
the offerings in the field of science. Since then the work has expanded until now a
major toward either degree may be selected in any of the following subjects:

Agricultural Economics and Economics

Farm Management Entomology

Agronomy Food Technology

Bacteriology Pomology

Botany Poultry Science

Chemistry

The following departments offer major work toward a master of science degree only:

Animal Husbandry Horticultural Manufactures

Dairy Industry Olericulture

Education Physical Education (Men)

Floriculture Psychology

History Sociology

Home Economics Zoology

The degree of master of landscape architecture is granted to students completing
the two years' graduate work offered by the department of landscape architecture;
while students taking the equivalent of one year's graduate work in that major may
be granted the degree of bachelor of landscape architecture.

Several other departments in the institution, while not regularly organized for major
work in the Graduate School, do, nevertheless, offer courses which may be selected
for minor credit. These are:

English Mathematics

French Philosophy

Forestry Physics

Geology Physiology

German Veterinary Science

The general requirements of the Graduate School regarding entrance, residence,
credits, tuition, fees, etc., together with specific information concerning details of in-
terest to prospective students are set down in a separate bulletin which may be
obtained upon request from the Director's Office.

The Summer School

(Omitted 1940)

For thirty years the College has conducted a summer session, starting at first with
a four-weeks' program consisting largely of teacher training and adult courses in nature
study, vegetable gardening, fruit growing, poultry raising, and ornamental gardening,
all organized without reference to credits or degree. Gradually the emphasis on such
work changed and the need for more professional courses of college grade has resulted
since 1924 in a six-weeks' session offering a well-balanced program of credit courses.
These are arranged to assist (1) superintendents, principals, and teachers connected
with high or elementary schools who desire advanced instruction either with or without
relation to academic credits; (2) classroom teachers who seek to prepare themeselves
more effectively in their special studies; (3) college undergraduates who wish to satisfy
deficiencies or secure courses not otherwise available; and (4) any adult person who
finds courses of special interest and aid for leisure or livelihood.

Fees and living expenses are very moderate so that many people arrange their vacation
periods to include the summer session. A carefully planned program of entertainment
including instruction in such sports as tennis, badminton, and archery, with hiking and
picnics, swimming and golf, provides recreation for all.

Admission.

There are no formal examinations for admission to the Summer School. Under-
graduate students are admitted to such courses as their preparation justifies. Admission
to the Graduate School will be granted to graduates of Massachusetts State College
and to graduates of other institutions having substantially equivalent requirements for
the bachelor's degree.

The following courses were offered in the 1939 session and illustrate the type of
program at present available.

Non- Degree Courses of Instruction

THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE.

General Information.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture was organized in 1918, under the name of
"The Two Year Course in Practical Agriculture," for the purpose of meeting the
demand for shorter courses in agriculture which might be taken by students who could
not satisfy college entrance requirements or who, for one reason or another, were
unable to take the college course. In 1928 the School was given its present name in
honor of Levi Stockbridge, first professor of agriculture in the College and its fifth
president.

This program trains men and women for the practice of farming or associated agri-
cultural industries. Graduation from the School does not fulfill the requirements for
entrance into the degree course nor are credits earned during the course transferable
regularly toward credit for a degree.

As the course is now organized, students may specialize in any one of eight vocations:
animal husbandry, dairy manufactures, floriculture, ornamental horticulture, fruit grow-
ing, poultry husbandry, vegetable gardening, or stewarding for hotels and restaurants
training. Specialization in a vocation does not prevent students from securing a general
working knowledge of other subjects. The Stockbridge School will appeal not only to
young men and women, but also to men and women of mature years and practical
experience who wish to know more about the business of farming or related industries.
The School is not intended for students enrolled in a high school; such students should
complete their high school course before seeking admission.

Since its organization at the request of the Massachusetts Legislature, the school has
registered over 2500 students, graduated twenty classes numbering more than 1600
members, and enrolled for the last school year (1939-40) 296 young men and women.

The largest number of students come from Massachusetts, but all the New England
States are usually represented in the student body.

The value of this kind of concentrated, technical schooling, aiming directly toward
preparation for a definite field of work, is amply demonstrated by the useful careers of
our graduates.

Entrance Requirements.

Applicants for admission must be at least 17 years old and must have completed at
least an elementary school course or its equivalent. Before being enrolled for the work
of the second year, students must have completed six months' practical training ap-
proved by the Director of Placement.

Three courses now have limited enrollments and some form of selective admission.

These are: Hotel and Restaurant Stewarding (10 students only); Animal Husbandry
(35 students only); and Dairy Manufactures (25 students only).

Instruction.

The instruction is given by the regular faculty by means of classroom teaching,
laboratory exercises, and practical work. The work of the classroom is supplemented
by demonstration work in the laboratory, dairy, greenhouse, orchards and stables. The
course is designed to offer plain, practical, direct information, and to establish the un-
derlying reasons for, as well as methods employed in, the various operations.

Credit and Diploma.

In order to obtain a diploma, the student must complete satisfactorily all the work
required in the vocational course which he has selected. This course consists of six

Part II. 109

months of class and laboratory work from October to April followed by six months of
practical experience on a job in line with the major course selected. The second year
continues from October to June.

No student failing to meet the requirements of his six months' summer training can
b eenrolled for the second year since the placement training is an absolutely necessary
prerequisite.

Graduates of county schools of agriculture or of agricultural departments of high
schools in the state may complete the course for a diploma in one year in certain
courses, if they are recommended by the director of the county school, or by the in-
structor in charge of the department of agriculture in the high school.

College, Amherst, Mass.

THE WINTER SCHOOL

Short Courses are based on the idea that the motive which inspires study is the most
significant factor in study itself, and that this motive rises when the student himself
realizes he faces a problem that calls for a solution. Therefore, there is no age limit.
Enrolled in short courses are found the young and the old, the experienced and the
inexperienced, the theoretical and the practical. In this grouping there is a value, since
students learn from each other as well as from the instructors. Practically all Short
Course students intend to make a direct application of the knowledge gained. Hence
the aim of Short Course work is to offer the largest amount of information and
training in agricultural and horticultural lines in the shortest possible time. During
the past thirty years Short Courses have served hundreds of students in this Common-
wealth, and the demand for these courses in recent years has steadily continued.

The Winter School has been established for a number of years at the College, and
has proved to be very popular.

Instruction in the following courses will be offered this year:

(1) Nine Weeks' Course in Poultry Raising. October 28, 1940 to January 17, 1941.

(2) Ten Weeks' Course for Greenkeepers. January 6 to March 17.

(3) Ten Weeks' Advanced Course for Greenkeepers. January 6 to March 17.

(4) Two Weeks' Course in Dairy Bacteriology. January 6 to January 18. '

(5) One Week Course in Milk and Cream Testing; Analyzing and Inspecting Milk
Products. January 20 to January 25.

(6) One Week Course in Milk Plant Operation and Manufacture of Surplus Milk
Products. January 27 to February 1.

(7) One Week Course in Ice Cream; Testing and Analyzing Ingredients Used in
Ice Cream Making, the Standardizing of Mixes, and Freezing. February 3
to February 8.

(8) One Week Course in Ice Cream Making for Experienced Men. February 10
to February IS

(9) Five-day Course for Tree Wardens and Town Foresters. March 24 to March
29.

During the one week the student devotes all of his time to the work of the special
course in which he has enrolled. The instruction lasts throughout the day from 8 to
S. These courses meet a very definite need in the State for those who wish instruction,
but who cannot attend for a longer period of time and who do not wish to take other
subjects.

At ■^!UAi. HJiFuKT uF THE rRKiilDtfiWT
I'-or the year of 1941

I A Year of Challenge,

In submitting this my ninth annual
report of the Trustees of Massachusetts
^■tate College, and in indicating that the
past year has been a year of challenge.
It would not b© out of place to empha-
size that every year of the past ten has
been a year of challenge for college ex-
ecutives It is well, perhaps, that
every year should be a year of challenge
for the administrators of colleges and
universities, particularly in times when
change appears to be the only certain
factor upon which one can depend In
these, years of the lisBediate past,
change has rfieant r©du_ced income, increased
demands for assistance to students, and
in our Land-Grant Colleges, an insistance
that wider and inor© direct services be
given the public

It has beenA2*ather common idea
over the years that the college man leads
a sequestered and peaceful existance .
Certainly during the past dacade the
average college administrator Bnd teacher
has had to break away from the routine
which may have existed a quarter of a
century ago that he might adjtist himself
to changed deisands upon education and
withal has had to do this with much re-
duced budgets for instruction and all the
other activities inherent in the opera-
tion of a college

In our Land-olrant colleges, par*
tlcijlarly, where the whole philosophy of
education has been ever widening foru-s of
servic©, not only to students but to the
md -us trios which the college is expected
to serve, iihere has never been a period
s^^ch as this past decade when the challenge
has been greater, and the efforts to
n^eet the challenge have been ir^et with
p:r8ator iir,a,pination and ffore constant In-
dustry on the part of college men and
women ' 'Mth Increasing numbers of stu»
dents entering this College, even in the
face of the determination of the Adird.n«
istration to keep numbers of students to
a definite limit, and. ¥5fith practically no
new teaching positions allowed In budgets
from year to year, it has seemed as If the
teaching staff of the College must soon
reach the breaking point, as far as the
demand upon their time and energy is con-
cerned,,

'^'hile it is obviously unwise from
an educational standpoint to Increase
class sections beyond certain numbers if
efficient teaching is to be done, never-
theless, the teaching staff of the College
has accepted willingiy the increased bur-
den of larger sections and more hours of
teaching, The point has now been reached,
however, when no further increase in the
student body can be made until funds are
provided for additional instructors and
more adequate facilities. This positive
statement is not easy to make in the face
of the challenge of ever increasing num-
bers of young mBTi and wcisen who are con-
vinced that the J:;-tat8 shoaild provide them
with opportuBitiss for higher education.

It is the cle termination of the Adminis-
tration of the College, therefore, that
the doors mist be closed in the years to
come against any larger numbers of stu-
dents, at least tTntil there is more
general recognition on the part of the
people of the Commonwealth and the irte fi-
bers of the Legislature of the obligation
of the titate to provide satisfactorily
for an educational experience for the
young; men and woaien of the Coiranonwealth
who must have this experience in the
b'tate College or not at all.

In no other state in the Union,
where the state college or state univer-
sity ia providing a college experience
for boys and girls from families of
moderate aieans. Is there so large a nuin-
ber of fine privately endowed colleges
and .universities The growth of these
prl^fately endowed inistitutions, through
the years., has resulted in a tradition
that boys and girls worthy of a college
edu.cation, sossehow or another, have
sufficient B5@ans to meet the require-
ments of these institutions. It is not
unconnTion for people, ¥;ith a background
of educatlonai experience in a primate-
,iy endowed institution, to Insist that
any ambitious boy or girl in the Co^imon-
wealth may secure an educational ex-
perience in a privately endowed Insti*
tut ion, particularly in view o'f scholar-
ships and opportunity for paid labor in
these institutions 'Iheref ore , these
people say that the taxes of the people
of the state should not be used in in-
creasing amount for the support of a
state collefre.

There Is one effective answer to such

comments and that is the experience
through which the College goes annually
In having to turn away each fall large
numbers of boys and. girls who are quali-
fied intellectually, but not financially,
to secure a college experience in a pri-
vately endowed, institution In other
words why ao ?-iassachusetts boys and ^^Irls
in Increasing numbers knock at the door
of the i;tate College if the doors of the
privately endowed, institutions are open
to them There is evei / evidence that
the pressure for admittance on the part
of well-qualified young men and women
to the state colleges and universities
in tbe country is increasing rather
than decreasing and that the war economy,
if continued over any length of time,
will result in still greater pressure
on the state sucported colleges.

Eu.t the challenge of the past year,
particularly, has beQn in building Into
a college program, without interfering
seriously with standards of work for
students, a series of national defense
activities that would make the College
as "fi unit more effective in national de-
fense In view of the heavy burden of
teaching beln.g^ done by every member of
the teaching staff of the College, the
nat-'onal defense effort has increased
individual stresses and strains and yet
the increased bur^dan put upon our people
has been met not^^i^ith willingness but

with a detersiinaticn that the College as
a whole should meet its war obligations,
and that the individual teacher should
be doing his full part as a citizen of a
great Cosimonwealth and a great Mat ion.

with a strong feeling that this
coijntry coiilci not avoid, even If It so
cbose, an increasing participation In
the world rsvolutlon which had its first
outward manifestations with the beginning
of dictatorships In it'tirope, this College
began late In 1939 through dlseusslons
within the F'aciilty and the student body
and the bringing in of outside speakers,
the consideration of the meaning of world
revolujtion Finally, in April 1940, a
Special Fac-ulty Committee was appointed to
^'ake a study of the fncilitiea and ser-
vices which the Colle.xe could offer
sho-uld the nnited States become involved
in war This study resulted in a state -
ment, which was submitted to Hi 3 Excell-
ency, the Governor of the Coimsonwsalth,
ear If in June, 1940

uut of the study mSide by the Spec-
ial Faculty GoMnittee d 13 ring the spring
months of 1940, there came a growing con-
viction that education would not only
be coma thoroughly involved in the world
struggle,, but that It wcjld have to be-
come what might be called an essential
war Industry Therefore, durinff the fall
of 194C, a College Defense Council m^as
appointed. In appointing this Council
the following statement was made --

""With the possibility that the
national emergency may become more acute
and that the next jesiv may see us at war.
It seems desirable, if not necessary,
that the College should be prepared in
every way to cooperate fully with State
and Katlcnal agencies In the emergency
and in possible war period, Therefore,
I am asking those named above to serve
on a College Defense Council and suggest

an earl;^ meeting for discussion of ob-
jectives and activities before the Com-
mit tee "

.Dur5n<;^ th© past year this Co-uncil
bas been very active and about a month
ago a sttmmary of th8 defense activities
of th© College was prepared and again
siibifvitted to Pjs Kxceliency, the Gov-
©nor. Tills jsiinjHiary indicated that the
College availed it self of oxjportTjinities
for service by accepting irarned lately
the jjtograin for the training of civilian
pilots and for the giving of refresher
co^jrs0B to mer' in industry T>a.rin§: the
past three years, sixty-eight -^t^idents
of the College have passed flight train-
ing courses imder the Civilian Filot
Training Frogran This nuisber 'imj seem
small when men's colleges of half the
size have trained niore hvX thia nuisber
is really large in a strident body where
wove than 75 percent are having to work
for wages during almost every free hour<

In cooperation with the United
States uf.tice of "due at ion, the College
continued this year coi-»rs©s for defense
workers in indijstry At the present
tijue, more thai) ninety men frorri Indus-
tries in the Connect ic\3t Valley are
tal^in,^ ccarses in such subjects as
Elements of Str^cttiras, Tool -^Engineering,
Engineering Drawing, Coat Accounting, etc.
Again, tb rough the year, the Befense
Coimell has prepared a roster of the en-
tire staff showing proficiencies and skills
of all our people, with the idea that we
should be prepared to respond at a moa-
©ntfe call for sr^ecial services both

within and on the ouissldo Further chang-
es In the college curriculvmi to meet
war needs are Indicated In the Annual
He port of the Do an of the College.

Following the declaraticn of war
by this country on Japan ana Germany,

the emphasis in the work of the College
wss shifted rapidly and a.v:gre5sively
fro'Gi national defense to lalans for pre-
paring our students as quickly as possi-
Dle for ser¥ice to the Nation, within
a fow weeks plans have Been completed
for a shortened calendar for the present
year and an accelerated program of in-
struction that would make possible com*
pie t ion of training on the part of men
students before reaching the draft

?/ith the sanction of your body,
we have announced a shortening of the

present college calendar, with CoimRenc©-
rnent to be held on r^'ay 17th This has
been ffiade possible through the shorten-
ing of the examination periods, the use
of holidays, and the shortening of the
K^ster recess The plan for a sumsier
session that would make possible an ac-
celerated program that would fallow the
present freshj^en and sophomores to com-
plete their work in three years or less ■
has also been submitted to the 'Imstees
and has had general approval At a spec«
ial meeting cf the instructional staff
of the College, these plans ware dis-
cussed thoroughly before presentation
to the Trustees and the response of the
Faculty was fine and worthy of such a
body There has been almost unanimous
volunteering on the part of the str.ff
to carry the additional summer program.

i\s the college Is essentially a
sclentiric-tecbnlcal institution. It is
very important thet \'?e sfcotud continue

treining of students maioring in Chem-
istry, I'tjBics, Bacteriolo,/?y, h:ngineering,
f'utrition, etc , as the satisTactory
training of people in thes® fields is
of vital iKiT-!ortarca to the co^mtry at
war In checking with other coller^eiR
and imiverelties in tb© BB.m& field of
work, sneli for InstRnoe as ]i-,I/r.,
W.FI , and the star© universities about
tis giving Engineering and similar lines
of work, we find, the rather strong feel-
ing tbat there aboiild, not bo a greatly
reciiiced program In the training of ©n-
ginoars and, seientlfjts. with a twelve
weeks* smmier session to be given each
Slimmer, during the period of the emer-
gency, we are confiaent that we can
carry through, anaaecelerated program
and yet provici© for the effective train-
ing of men in Engineering ana Applied
Bciencas

Th© at tl tilde of atiidents in this
eisargvsncy is of vital tr-portanee m our
@di3 OR t tonal programs 'A' i thin a da7 or
two after the return of students froih
the Christmas vacation, a special con-
vocation of the student body w^s held
ana plans for a shortened calenaar and
an acGOlerated program were presented
and discussed. K ballot was taken and
we were s-prprised. and pleased, to find
the student body almost iinanlraously in
favor of an accelerated px*ograi?i and to
find also that more than three hTindred
st'jcionts vindicated thatr desire to take
such an accelerated program This aeti':'n
of the student body was very significant
when the nature of this College is such

thatlls feneraily more difficult for the
st^ment body to take an accelerated
prcgrarr. tbJ?-n Is tho case in the private-
ly wDdowed ln3tlti;tlon:3 For years this

Collcf© hss dravsm. Its students almost
entirely from f ami lies of moderate ir.oans
These yo-ang roon and s?om®n finding it
v®ry difficult to fiminoe their education-
al e:j^perlenca hava liad to earn money
each summer to carry tham through the
next year In other f^'ords, tlie response
of the student Dody of such a college
as otsra to ek accoiorated program nmot
depend alifiost entirely upon finances
It is hoped that the Federal Government
may recognise the importance of speeding
t?,p of training of ximxi for Engineering
Bna Applied J'ciencas and give such nnQxi
some financial assiistanoe throuigh the
contlmiation of the bYA program.. We
iirxierstanci that this is heing cons ?„de red
with the aggressiue backing of most of
the edticaticnal organizations,

It is Kiore than evident that ot^r
people, as a ir/hole, ha^e not yet recog-
nised the seriousness of the war effort.
As business cannot go on as usual, so
we cannot expect education will go on as
usual There mist he a continuing ac-
celerated program in education with
s&.criflces and hard work on the part of
all concerned fTlth education. Prom the
response which we ha^a had here, there is
eirery reason to believe that the educa-
tors of the country are aa ready as
any other group to scarifioa and work
as they ha^'e net?er worked before in raeet-
injT the country's ne^ds In this connec-
tion, serious consideration is heing
given in many of the ccllei^es of tho
country to a prcgrani which i^ould allow
of the acceptance of high school seniors
as freshmen during the summer sessions.

While there Is possiljly lesH llkoll-
hood of a 3orious dac.Xlne in numbers of
students at this Collage as comparecl
with other colleges in. tiie ^itate, yet
it is our conviction tb&t as a stat3-
s-upoorteci college v/e eihoiilci do even
more than the pr ivatoly end.o?/ed colleges
arouxid iis ami that v/e ahould plan to
accept frdslnei'i for the twelve ■weei:C3^
svixnmQr ses^^lon ^^srhlch, wa hope, say be-
gin during th« first week In June.
This matter has t)Bmi cIlsotLBsed Y/ith the
CoijeeIss loner of iiiducation and with other
educational leaderf? in the CoKimom?ealth
and with the approval of th@ Trustees
'^re shall proceed with sr:oh a program.

II i'tudents ana a ^.Vorld War.

Th© impact of a national. defense
program, and now the WB.r, upon the men
and Mom^n making ixp th@ student bod'^r
of the College, pB.Ttit^nlB.rlj as affect-
In,^' st\3.dent thinking and attitudes, nor-
mal social B,nd athletic aetivities and,
finellT, scholarship, has been rather
definite as far as roeasiirement Is c6n«-
cerned, mid che>e.ring frois the standpoint
of goer" sportsmanship and good oitl-
r^en ship,

The student hody of this College
is a particularly- fine eross-section
of the people of th© Corimonweaith.
Our yoimg men and women coioe largely
froiti families of moderate jj^aans - from
homes cf professional peox>l@, small
has ins as people, and fTom our rural
sections It la ohvions, therefore,
that the reaction of our students to
a national defense effort and the war

would be rnucb what one would expect to
find in any comimnity of two thousand
people anywiiert; In the btate.

One Slight expact that in a student
body of around elztsen hunared young men
and woi^ien, ths.t thar© would b© rather
xf.-QTQ- than the ordinary intelligence
shown In cons? iderat ion of what has been
coming to us daily in our papers and over
th3 radio as to national defense and war,
Thar© has haen intelligence shown by the
student body and yat ^n intelligence
bassd upon a backgroiojid decidsdiy lack-
ing in an understanding of American his-
tory and Affiarican ins'tltutions to say
nothin^^' of kirowlddge of the history and
of conditions in tha countries with
wbleh we are at war. After all, toe
life of the student is a busy one
Els college prograia and his earning
program take up a large part of hi a
tiii?a and oi-?t£ide of these programs tha
interests of the Btudent are largely
in social and athletic actiTitias end^
therefore, h.e is not a very thorough
reader of ne\tspapars and isagag^ines
and too often as he listens to the radio
he turns to the entertainment features
rather than the nm^s. Yet the average
student, throughout the period of the
defense and now the wst, has been think-
ing and is thinking as clearly and as
soundly as any previous generation of
younr Ken and women in this country ^
'A'ith groatly Increased opportunities
for reading and hearing the news of the
country and the world he is, without
question, somewhat more national and
internationl in this thinking than were

his father and his grandfather before him,
and he Is facing? rris personal proolsms
with fts Knicb defceriTilnatlon to be ?*.oyal
a^^d patriotic as sany Cfarllar generation
In the ?klf© of the .tvatlon

Oj.rin,-^ tho past yes.:" and a half.
It has been possible to xaeastire somewhat
tho changes taking place in atudant think-
ing and dlsC'iGsions Jit the beginning
of the national amor gen cy there wero
nijimeroris stiidants who vfare Inclined to
he Isolationists in ^.ttitnde and manj
who wjro decidedly antl-vrar. There were
good rea.?ons for th3se attitudes, based,
as thS7 'Tore, often on ocinplaints as to
the way in ^hlch their father* a genera-
tlonjTailsd to htiild a hGttar world pro-
f:ram following the f Irat ^'orld War and
eotiplaints of ,th© waj in which the older
generation had nmddled. through the years,
as "HMt aj» cconomi.c and political condl- ,
t-! oris are eonccrnecl.

These joting poople of onrE aro
very hi;nian in all of^Lhlnklng and reac-
tions. They wart a collego experience
because thoy believe it is going to
give theiTi the feind of prepi5.ration ttey
need for liv5.n|^ mcvQ satisfactorily and
nore guccessrully as the years pass
They have the same feeling iho older
generatlcne ha^e had s.s to thsir rights
\nider out fcrB of gcvornBiont to live
their own lives and to laaks the siost of
their own individual careers It is
perfectly normal that th^y sho"ald b@ a
little resentful when conditions arise
^hlch seeK to fores theui to glvs up
long aceeptsd rights and opportunities.

And yet the year cr more of preparation
for national defense, and now the war,
has brou,y'bt a stiffening of the deter-
mination to do their part, if not with

enthuaias'j!, the-ii with an hon^at recog-
nition of their obligation to do the
things expected of them.

Following the dastardly attack

of the Japanase on rearl n?ir"bor, there

and "yirhere they were urged, to keep their
feet on the gvonnd. and to racognlaie the

XII, The 5tate anci the College,

In nearly every annual report,
o^^ar tho psst nine yari.rs, 'there hao been
s 02:10 discussion of the very important
question of the relationship of this
College tc the 'Jtate Government and to
people of the CoffiBionwealth as a whole.
Perhaps the impcrtance of this question
to the College Ilea not so Hmeh in the
financing by th-e Cominonwealth of educa-
tion beyond the hifrh achool, as that
means ir-ust be fcwnci whereby the lncr#as-
iag niiK^ber of ambitious and thoroiifhly
prepared young people it'Sy^^lhe opportun-
ity for a coliegs ascperlence --^ ^n op-
portunity virhich cannot now be offered

tlon — then the state Itself should re-
cognize the Importance of making known
to Its people what it is doing in the
field of higher education. It is my
convletion that our Commonwealth should
be very proud of what has been accomp-
lished at State College at Amherst and
should De ready to tell the story just
as it is anxloxis to tJall the story of
the recreational or industrial facili-
ties of the ^^tate. Yet, in my years at
the College there has never been request
from any State Administration, or any
other department of the State, that we
tell our story and make it a part of the
kind of a story which this Coiranonwealth
would like to tell, not only to its own
people, but to the people of the entire
country

IV. The College in the After-War Period.
^vhile the full efforts of the

State and the Kation, and every individ-
ual citizen must be given to the fight-
ing of a relentless and, unfortunately,
a ruthless war to the end that victory
may be secured in the shortest possible
time, yet we cannot avoid thinking and
planning for the period following the war.
Individuals and committees and coMnissions
through the country are trying to see
through the uncertain! ty and confusion
of the war period to determine, if
possible, what our important probleios
will be . There seeiss to be general
feeling over the country that as result
of the ?/orld revolution that there must
come drastic chanpes in our social,
political, economic and educational pro-
cedures. Furthermore, it is quite
possible that the adjustments which are
being aade in education in the way of
shortened calendars and accelerated
programs may in the after-war period

result In very desirable changes In pol-
icies and In procedures necessary to
carry out these policies.,

The Faculty Defense Council at the
College has been giving considerable
attention to the after-war period and a
sub-corr-!Rittee of the Council is working
definitely on plans and procedures which
we hope will make it possible for the
College to fit into the after-war pro-
gram in a satisfactory way.

?. The College Family,

In annual reports from year to
year, the final paragraphs have had to
do with ?^hat irdght be called the College
Family. One of the fine compensations
that has come out of my years of work
at the College has been the evidence of
growlnp" solidarity and harinony among the
various parts of the College Family,
As you are aware, every possible effort
has been inade to keep the Trustees of the
College thoroughly well informed as to
every college activity and, by the same
token, constant effort Is made to keep
the technical and professional staffs
informed of the work of the College, Be-
lieving thoroughly in our form of govern-
ment and in democratic procedures, no
stone has been left untuj-'nad to use these
democratic procedures in all of the ac-
tivities of the College. The result
seems to b® harmony and cooperation
among Trustees, Faculty, students and
Alumni ^;;'hen the tlTi^'^ comes to leave
the work of the College, I shall hop©
that it may be recognissed that there
has been one contribution during this
period of great importance to the College,
and that is that democratic ideas and
procedures are fundamental in the opera-
tion of a College and .that they have
been applied in a way that has increased

the loyalty of all memteers of the College
Family to the College and to the Common-
wealth and. that this loyalty has re-
sulted In a fine spirit of cooperation
and the desire to give conscientious and
aggressive service This accompli shrnent
may possibly prove to be worth while in
the building up of a stronger and a better
College where young men and women may be
prepared thorou hly for fuller and more
satisfying lives.

VI, The 8eventy-First Gorrnnencement .

The Honorable David I, Walsh,
United .^>tates .senator from rcassachusetts
delivered the seventy-first Coffiraencenient
address in the Cage of the Physical li'duc-
ation::uilding Dr. Walter F. Downey,
Commissioner of Education, presented
diplomas to 202 Bachelors of tJeience,
63 Bachelors of Arts, and 4 Bachelors
of Landscape Architecture, Sixty-two
candidates received the degree of "aster
of sScience and 7 the degree of Doctor
of i^hilosophy.

VII, Changes in Staff.

On June 30, 1941, Walter w, Chen-
oweth. Head of the Department of Horti-
cultural ^Manufactures, retired after
twenty-nine years of service.. Eis out-
standing contribution to the College in
organizing and. leading his Department
to lt& present position of national
prominence has been recognized by your
Board, through inscription in the official
records and by his ©lection as Ksieritus
i^rofessor of Horticultural '/anufactures-

i-'rcfessor Chenowath was succeeded
in the Headship by Dr. Carl R. Feiiers,

Professor of Porticultural I'anufactiires

and an aggressive member of the Depart-
ment since 1925.

The death of George L, Farley on
September 10, 1941 terminated his twenty-
f5„ve year career as •■ead of 4-11 Club
woric for iA.assachiAsetts. Mr/ Farley's
loss has been keenly felt throughout the
entire otate by the thousands of club
members, ex-members, and leaders whose
lives he intimately influenced for so
many years. Tribute to fiT. Farley's
outstandingly successful career and to
his lovable character was paid by the
Board in a fitting memorial inscribed
in the records under date of i^ovember 5,
1941

Kelen Knowlton, Associate .Professor
of Home .Economics, died on May 11, 1941,
after seventeen years of service to the
College and the CoriiiRonwealth She was a
successful and eonscientlous teacher, a
generous and loyal member of her commun-
ity,

Kine meBibers of the ::staff resigned,
the majority to accept positions of
greater responsibility in other colleges
and universities: .lilhert F. Caraway, Pro-

sient of Ftiident Fealth, Dr. I elen t5.
Mitcbell, research Professor of Rome
If^concn-lcs, was granted leave to work on
civilian nutrition problems with the
Federal •^ecLirlty Administration,

VIII, t'tudent Convocation

AS in former years the Thursday
morning Convocation period provided the
students with a succession of stiiKula-
ting speakers. Business men, educators,
industjrialists, and scholars presented
their views on the world situation in
1940-41.

The Convocation period, was also
used by the rreslaent, Dean, and other
college officers as a clearing house
for announcements and advice to the
students ks the war situation inten-
sified during the past year, the need
for counselling of the students increased
Diirinp: the coKing year it is anticipated
that ,!r?uch of the Convocation time will
be devoted to interpretation of United
States and world affairs and to "fauilly-
counsel" periods

Keed for a permanent public address
system for ;;owker Auditorium is increas-
ingly evident - Because of the faulty ac-
coustics of the I-Iall, some speakers Just
cannot be heard without the use of sound
equipment At present the College has a
portable amplifying systera, but this is
not always available for Convocations
und is a poor substitute at best for a
permanent system adapted to the needs of
the auditorlvim.

Hespectfully submitted,

RBPOKT OF THE UiiAJN
for the

:}ollege Year 1^40 - 41

drop In onrollmont "because of improved
chances for profitable employment and
the selective service, the number of

number of women applicants again pre-
sented a serious problem - one which is

EXTKMIifaOiM OF AjUVISORY BUvGliAm

ylnca it is agreed that the imlt
of education is the student, our con-
corn should be the qualifications of
each individual ana the opportunities

by which he may equip himself to meet
the responsibilities of and deal satis-
factorily with those situations and
problems which will confront him later
in his career. This requires proper
selection and guidance with reference
to curricula on the one hand and to
special interests on the other.

with a view to strengthening our
advisory and guidaiace work, the facu^lty
adopted a larger sophomore advisory pro-
gram which becaiTie effective this year.
The objectives sought are:

a. To bring about a iriore har-
monious adjustment of individual st-udents
to the opportunities available within
and without the College i hence, to pro-
vide the 3ophoa:ior0 with vocational ad-
vice as regards hia own qualificatinns
and the various vocations open to college
graduates,

b> To establish a friendly and
constructive relationship between in-
dividual piembers of the faculty and stu-
dents desiring such contact

c. To 'make certain that each
sophoi-j^ore is planning his program of
studies, not only for the second year
but for those to follow, in accord with
the needs of his ma lor ^

The

Begin-ning with the second sem-
ester freshman year each freshEian ad-

viser shall discuss with each advisee
his vocational plans The adviser shall
then classify his advisees into three
groups C(^xip one will Include those who
know definitely the department in which
the '5' wish to major and, aa far as the ad-
viser can determine J are qualified, to
major In that department, ^ach student
so classified will be given a card fur-
nlshed oy the h'eglstrar *s uffice which
will be presented to the department con-
cerned The student will then make out
his sophomore course with the departirient
head or someone within that department
to &e designated as his adviser This
adviser will carry hiiT: through, his soph-
omore jjear.

If, after diseiissing vocational
otojectlves with an aavisee, the advliser
qtjestlons the student's qualifications
for ills chosen ma lor, he will place him
in group two and suggest that he seek
ad d i 1 1 ona 1 advice

Since this plan places additional
responsibilities on the freshman advis-
ers, they irmst be selected with the great«
est care Moreover, it is recoitmiended
that freshman advisers meet frequently
to discuss their common problems a.nd the
obiectives to be soixght-

ZM. ^op^offlo,^ Advisory Comz??lttee

students in groups two and three
need vocational advice To make this
available an Mvlsorj Coimrdttee was set

up, ii'ach member was selectea because he
was in a position to give soine special-
ized gtiidance service. This Committee
consists or Tiie Dean, Tne Ileaas of the
Diviaions, The Registrar, a proTeasor of
Psychology and Giixdance, and tlie Place-
menz ui'ficers. The Frenhman Adviser will
refer the student to the individual
committee ri:ieiiiDe.r or 'meffibers best quali-
fied to assist him After these consul-
tations are completed the student who
can now decide on his major is registered
in the same manner as the student in
group one On the other hand, the stu-
dent who still continues undecided auto-
matically becomes an advisee of the head
of the Division i^nd continiies with him
until the end of the sophosiore year.

'.B^BlBA. Occupational S'lonograph;

As a further means of presenting
to the student body the oeeupational op-
porttmitias of the Collage, we have .sug-
gested that each department develop an
occupational monograph. This would in-
clude a statement of the objectives of ^
the department, the type of work for which
it prepares, qualifications for success-
ful employment in. the field, typical
positions graduates are holding in that
field, etc

Buch aionographs should slao include
outlineB for pre-EieGlcal, pre-d&ntal,
pre -law and similar fields; in other
words, for majors that are not strictly
departmental < Special aavisers are now
available for students iii these fields.

During the college jq&t thirty-
six carefully iselected lAembers of the

is tangible proof of its value.

the studants entertained their parents
in a very acceptable manner .

In intercollegiate athletics our

teams niade creditable records. The
football teani played well, but lost soine
important contests largely becaiise of Its
lack of reserve players. The basketball
team won from HaBiilton, Clark, Trinity,
Amherst, Williams and American Inter-
national, losing only to Springfield
The new coach, Walter G. Hargeehelmsr,
is well liked and very capable We believe
that under his efficient coaching and
leadership our teams will continue to
perform acceptably.

The various student publications,
especially the •'Collegian*' and the ''iiidex"
were Vvrell edited. Demands on the time
of the student editors of these publlca^

This Is serious in the case of those
who also at the aame time carry the re*
aponsibilltles of other campus activities,

to the improvement of country life in
the old Bay tttate , ^ore than 5000 naiaes
ai'o listed on the -ichool records covering
all students who ha.¥e anrolisd darin(r
the twenty-four 3^aars since 1918. Tills
ia a record for vvhlch the College can
well be protid, for it .has been a pre-
paredness prograirt in a gi-i culture of t.he
soundest cort, and serves in no srr.ali
way to lustify the faith of the founders
in an agricultural education for all
the pe o pie , n o t t h e x"© w .

The next several years will inevlt-
atll^F see siiialler classes of graaufites
because the entailing classes b.9ve been
shrinking steadily under th@ Impact of

war itself, T.n 1959, a clasis of I'd?
registered, in 1940 - 148, ana for
October 1941, only IVd freshmen finally
enrolled.

The present senior class has been
rediicea from a first year reflstraticn
of 143, out of which souie 155 studsnts
were aEsigned to placeiront trfilnlng last
April, down to a fail enrolment of just
105. Less than a balf dozen actually
failed to pass tr^3 placement ernpicyitient^
the chief reasons for sc many choosing
not to return to school being undoubt-
edly the hjgh wages and ab*u.ndant employ-
ment orr^ortun:? ties in. iNiew Blngland war
industries, and for those coming from
farms, the acnte t'avm labor shortage
which Enad© it necessar^y fci* them to re-

Thus, j?«any fariia boys will have to post-
pone their Btockhridge schooling ^jntll

Army Air Corps Accepts Stocivbrldge £en

For Pilot Training.

Under tne tresiendous ptibilclty
drive to secure flying cadets last spring,
many Stockhrid^:e aluiiini were vainly
strivln.c- to gain enlistment in the Air
Corps , At that time the requireaient of
a four year ccllege course was preventing
many physically fit candidates frorri gain-
ing their objectives. In late April
so-me twenty seniors ¥/ere allowed to take
the physical exa,;i;:lnatlons and seven
were successful. Later we -//ere notified
the Firijt Corps Area v^ould accept Ctock-
bridge .^rraduates without further i?:en.tal
tests if they passed the strict physical

tests This arranretnent originally ap-
plied only to the First Corps Area, but
praduates are now being accepted by the
Secona Corps Area also. 1'ard.ly m v^cek
passes now that the office is not re-
quested to submit ono or more record

of all Stockbridge men now serving in
the country's armed forces. Mearly one
hundred, nasies are already in eluded.

Crabtrea Loan I unds ^ Valuable Aid,

In May of iy40, interest-free loan
funds became available for the first
time to aid worthy and experienced- alum-
ni of the Btockbridge School to establish
theiTsselves in agricultural enterprises,
producing erops from the land, or to
extend bona fide farm operations, in
which they alone were financially Inter-
ested, to a more efficient and profit-
able level Already nearly a dc^en
alurmii have been granted loans to pur-
chase stock, equipment, or farm proper-
ties, after a careful check has been
made of each business and applicant,
with total loans granted to date of near-
ly $30,000. Home refusals have to be
jnade if individual experience or busi-
ness set-up is questionable.

With the great emphasis now being
placed on food production, this fund
is proving a valuable aid to an Inereasinj
number of these young i.©w England far-
rrers, not only in I'^assachusetts, but in
Connecticut, Maine, and r-iew York, Oiic©
the war is over, services like thjis

establish our returning veterans and war

Industry workers on the farms of the

nance rannlng If nothing else be possible

Short Unit Agricultural CourGes Affected

Pa cause of farm labor shortage
chiefly, and large increases of laying
stock, on poultry farms In the state to
meet greatly expanded war export demands
for es",ps and, e$g prodiicts, the nine
weeks potiltry Ebort course has not re-
ceived sufficient enrolffisnt to operate
during Octoher to February of 1940-4^:.
In addition, we have just found it nec-
cessary to cancel four one -week dairy
industry short courses because few ad-
vance applications show aalry plants
can no longer spare workers, BX^en for
professional improverfiant , and must tr^ln
new einployees at the plant, at least
for the present emergency.

•ual morale,

A siimll beginning was made last
year ±ii aiding a few students to Improvo
their study habits hv showing them how
to read more easily, quickly, and ija-
teiligently.. Only those students wore
selected whose entrance tests placed
than} in the lowest tenth of the class
on percentage scores where Biost failures
occur. Kach i?-an was intervle?/sd per-
sonally to see if he could assign any
good reason for his low score In reading.
Interestingly envough, most of them knew
of their liuiltatlons and had experienced
illness or accident handicaps, usually
in grades 5-S, This had caused them to
miss Biuch basic drill in roadlng classes
which was never corrected or mad© up in
later years, and the loss had seriously
retarded them In high school studies.

For the fall of 194.1 a yoiing in-
stri,2Ctcr was secured on a part time basis
from the De partition t of Psychology who
would and could actually coach a team of
students, not in athletics, but in cor-
rective readinpf itiethods. instead of wait-

ing vmtll late Pvovember when test scores
would be available, It seemec! best to
start the work IrrTned lately after clasF.es

take the course, since he already showed
superior reading ability. Of the remain-
ing fifteen students, the Instructor

for reading deficiency in t;his grouii^
were found: (1) organic deficiency in the

vocabulary; (4) Lack of spelling ability j
(5) Loss of reading habits due to insuf-

Since this spacial group ccirsprised sore

evident that niuch excellent huraan mater-

is largely for real study, and indicates
the need of larger accoiiiodations. If
students can be persuaded to use their
own rooms rather 'more, by keeping dorm-

somewhat relieved.

The long-planned loan col3.ection

most to condition perimitting It to be
made public, and it is hoped that the

break of war has already been echoed by
purchase of numerous ?jforks on the war

The percentage of young women In
tfce cless of 1941 taking further stijdy
Is smaller In proportion to that of those

in the class of 194C, due probably to
the number of positions available which
d-o not require further training. I'owever,
those taking training for the work of
hospital dietitians, nurses, or labora-
tory technicians, and those working as
teachers of Home Economics or in the
I^xtension Service are certainly aiding
the defense program very effectively,
Often students enter related fields ra-
ther than following directly their major
ob.lective In the class of 1941, three
young women took ®ajor work in the field
of recreation, une is now a director
of recreation, one Is In museum ?/ork,
and ona is with the Audubon Society and
so all are making use of their training
in recreation.

During the past year approximately
250 personal data sheets were sent to
employers both for the women graduated
in 1941 and for older graduates, -^^ach
year personal data sheets are prepared
for each senior, and those of the older
grai^idates still on the active list are
brought up to date The preparation of
these sheets requires much time in or-
der to secure good references and help-
ful data from employers and facility who
know' the students and their capabilities.

tr;5fother than agriculture, which itself
is a vital defense industry.

i-Imp 3 cyinent opportvmltiss for the
year 1940-41 were the greatest on record
The mmber of registrants for employment
decreased slightly as would be expected
due to the generally Improved huslness
conditions Jobs were more plentiful,
ceniorE ^nd graduates had their own
choices, as well as those of the Place-
ment Service. In the part-time program,
the increased financial well-being of
students was iniiicated by the decrease
of number of enrollers*

iXtring the past year there has
been an increased number of calls for
women, both In permanent and in tempo-
rary positions. This increase has been
especially noticeable in permanent posi-
tions due largely to vacancies left by
men taken for the draft, as many employ-
ers are seeking momen, since they are
not subject to the draft. There are also
vacancies left by women taking defense
positions, Eome Kconomics work, espec-
ially in the field of nutrition, is es-
sential in our defense' program which
is already taking Hori© n^conoBiics workers
from other fields. Teachers of Home
ii'concmics are in deisand. There is a
shortage of hospital dietitians. There
are a good many calls due to the defense
program in fields other than Home Eco-
nomics. For example, recently there was
a request from a firm manufacturing metal
askinp" for a young woman to teach applied
matheffiatics to men working on certain
types of defens-e material^" for which a
working knowledge of pieactical mathematics
was needed, yince so many men are taken
in the draft, more women are being called
for teachers of science and mathematics.
There is a shortage of hospital laboratory
technicians.

The incrsasecl number of calls for
temporary workers was cl-ue largely to the
fact that there was a shortage of help

in smiimer resorts and private fairillles
this past season. This meant that a very
large proportion of students wishing sum^tier
positions were able to find such work.
Summer positions are especially important
to our students, Eany inust earn ir-oney to
return to college and the experience gained
is often of real value toward a future
vocation

During the cclleg:e year 1940*1941, the
total earnings of 654 graduate, college
and Stockbridga students airiounted to
053,602,49. This is an all-tisie high for
total earnings, exceeding by almost SIOOO
the record of the previous year. The
nuEiber of students who applied for aid
decreased during the past year, Indicat-
ing that the national defense boom allev-
iated tl'ie financial situation of many
students During the previous year B09
students earned i5i:i>?13. 71.

The National Youth Administration
funds were reduced during the past year
approximately ||2000. Since the inception
of this very helpful program, the depart-
Tients of the college find student help
very benefielal, Since the outlook indi-
cates that there will be further reduction
in the 'n Y. A, funds, it will be necessary
to increase departmental funds for part-
time student eriiplcyment if inutual benefits
to students and college are to continue
at the present level.

RapOHT OF 'rm: dikkctOx^ ui Tin:; ti;xTii:ri^iOi\

During 1941, as America settled
itself for all-out production for defense,

the b;x,t0nf?lon ■■ervico dcvotad a great
share of ite v/ork to helping the rural
people of the Goaimonwealth prepare for
their contribution to national defense >
After more than a quarter of a century
of working with rural people the Extension
iiervice was well prepared to do its share
of this giant task. One thing that (aipde
It possible to do a good job was that our
farn" people today feel that they have ©.
personal interest in the Extension i-ier-
vioa- It is their organization and it
has direct contact with farm propie in
every eommtinity in the state.

The Defense Program of the mation
gave to the Extension service four big
jobs: (1) Frorsoting the food production
prograitis, (2) Building good morale of
farm propie In relation to defense activ-
ities, (3) Building good health through
nutrition, (4) Planning for post-war Bd^
justir).en|'s ,

By undertaking new services, ex-
pand ing|progra^s already underway, and
utilizing the thousands of local volun-
teer leadei^s in the state we were able to
ineet the specific needs of the Defense
Program. The Extension Service fjorked
closely with all state and federal agen-
cies in Massachusetts to bring about one
of the ISO St unified rural fronts in the
history of the state. This coordination
of all agencies helped to prevent dupli-
cation of work and fuifi^'ered the rural
programs considerably.""'

ntato and ccimty extension workers
have devQlopod a. .fine educational pro-
gram whereby they Inform rural people of
the ser^icefl availabl© from every agency
that Is in a position to help solve their
problems . Kach year we see a further
development in the coordination of effort
and each year we find that all our pro-
grams are ?nore effective- A great share
of the credit for this coord5-nation goes
to the rural policy work being carried
on In the state. This work has brought
about the joint consideration of rural
problems in A^'assac'hvaetts by 17 federal,
14 state, and many town and coun.ty or-
ganizations ,

During the past year 91 rural pol-
icy comraitteas held 223 rBeetlngs- The rnem*
bershiplist of these eoi^Biltteos include
more than S75 farm sien and women and more
than 350 representatives of town, county,
state, and federal agencies cerviag the
rural areas- These CGKirnittses are func-
tioning In seven counties.

]>j.rlng the year, in addition to
holding regular information meetings, ex-
tension Tiorkers used all the mediuitts of
publicity, bulletins, news articles,
radio talks, circular letters, etc , to
bring fariTi and hoiaa Information to the
people of Massaeh-usetts-

Changes in the Extension staff
during the year included three new ap-
polntiaents i^rs, Gladys ti. Clave and
Mrs. Huth Gould Shufelt were named Home
Demonstration Agents-atlsLarge; and
■.'■/ill lam H. Walker was named Club Agent -
at -Largs

The li^'xtanslon sta.ff lost one of Its
mo3t beloved and able leaders 7/hen George

L. Farley, State Club Leader died on
t^-eptemGlDr 10th,

Known as "I'ncle George'* to thousands
of Now England 4-E. boys and girls, ,V:r.
Farla;^ headed the 4-H club department at
State College for ^ib years, and was known
throughout the nation for his outstanding
work with rural youth. Although blind
since 1933, he carried on his work with
a vigor SLtid enthusiasm that made him an
inspiration to all who knew him.

Mr- Parley came to rriassachusetta
State College In 1916 as state club leader
At that time he had only one assistant
state leader and one county club agent
on his .staff. Today there are five assis-
tant club leaders and 28 comity club
agents In 1916, total enrollment of 4-II
meinbers was only a few hundred; today
over 20,000 b^ys and girls are mern'oers
of the .massachusatts 4-E organization.

ACMlQUmWiAL rEOGRAMS

In April, iaimediately following the
passage of the Lejid-Lease Act, a Food
for Defense pi»ogram wag launched by the
Tnited 3tates Department of Agriculture
to increase the production of certain
airr-iciiltural products for use by this
nation and her allies ^ Along with this
new program came a system of price sup-
port Our extension economists Irmnedia
ately prepared a complete analysis of
what this price support meant 'in terms of
wholesale prices in the i-iew England mar-
kets, and this statement was the' first
of its kind published in the Kortheast,

A state-wide meeting of all extension
workers, rapresentatlves of state depart-
ments, and iarm organizations 'scq called
In Worcester, and the plan for Increased
production of milk and e^rgs was presented
and discussed. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture 'o announcei:?,snt of the pro^ra:"!! for In-
creased production was xnade on April 5,
On May 2 the state-vfido program of pre-
paration an^ instruction was completed
and hj May 15 moot of tlio county agrlcul-
tural^W^Tants had transmitted this inforiTia-
tlon to the farmers of their counties by
special rrieetlngs or by letter.

In July, State ITSDA Defense Boards
were created throughout the nation by the
Secretary of Agriculture. I'h.ese boards
were composed of all United States Depart-
!nent of Agriculture agencies in the state,
and the state Gbairman of the AAA cosnmit-
t8<^ was named as chairman of this TJSDA
defense Board. The A'assachusetts Defense
■•oard held three meeting© during the year
and leadership for various projects start-
edhas been divided among the agencies
ra presented, on the board.

■soae of the project a taken up by this
VBDA Defense Board include the following s
grain storage situation, needs for addi-
tional hay, farm labor situation^ dairy
replacements, poultry, credit needs,
stater-ents on fertilizers and spray mater-
ial situation, and a survey of farm mach-
inery needs.

County USBA Defons© Boards were also
crwated in July and with the exception
of one county tbese boards have selected
tl.'.e county a,p'rict;iltural agent to act as

t'"eir secretary.

New interest In home improvement was
widespread with many rural families of
tbe state devoting time, money, and skill
to n'iaking their lornes more comfortable,
convenient, and attractive

The mattress program presented a new
orportunlty for extension workers to help
1 o w - i n c ome f am i 1 i e s = Ah out £ 5 0 ma 1 1 r e s s e s
were made fro^n surplus cotton.

Family financial planning has heeri
growing steadily in popularity, Meeting
the Higher Cost of Eivlng, Getting the
Family F'inances In order and Teaching
Children About i\"oney were some of the
topics taught..

uith the higher cost of living, rural
families are exploring all possibilities
of saving money wherever posaibls .
Hundreds of faoiilie© ci3t down costs during
1941 by m&klnfT some of thsir own clothes,
i ong a«TO, they found, that home sewing
was SkTi excellent way to stretch tbe cloth-
ing dollar h!xtension coat schools and,
other clothing. programs were popular
during the year,

.Since good recreation contributes
materi.ally, to building strong Fiorale, the
extension recr^^ation prograsiS were de-
signed to heir mere families than ever
before, l^ore participation was reported
by fairdly and eomiimnity groups in the
^levaloprnant of arts and crafts, drama-
tics, music, social recreation, discuss-
ion and. program planning programs, em-
phasis was placed on topics relating to
democracy, good citizenship, and national
defense. Kine issues of *4^rograia hints"
were devoted to soine phase of these topics
Five one-day conferences for adult dis-
cussion lesiders were held at selected
centers in the state.

a"ore than 120 leaders were trained in the
methods and techniqijes of disc-ussior-
groups, A sin'l].ar three -day course v/as
conducted for Grange Lecturers at their
iview ^t-ngland Conference held on the campus.

4-H FRUCHAM3

As tii0 nation prepared for defense,

a challenge was extended to the rural
youth of .■'as.sachusetts to do their roart.
The 4-Ii organization, with a total enroll-
rient of 5:JC,CC0 hoys and girls, was ready
to meet this challenge. During 1941, these
youths played a definite and iBiportant
part in the Defense ■ rogram In. the pro*
duct ion of food„ l^ev/ records v/ere set
In several 4-II projects. The dairy, poultry
and livestock programs were the largest
ever reported in the state, and sei'^eral
counties had record enrollments in their
garden club work.

?oc6. club members played an important
part in the health of their families by
planning and preparing lo\¥--cost, nutri-
tioUx«3 rreali? r-'ore than thirty thousand
such meals and seventeen thousand five
hundred scrool lunches were prepared by
two thousand food club n^ embers, B' our teen
hundred club combers were enrolled in the
food preservation project and canned a
total of seventy-ei(;ht thousand four
hundred jars of products for home con-
sumption.

Four thousand three hundred and fifty
girls enrolled in 4-1] clothing clubs and
siad«=, 16,0C0 articles.

The horr^e furnishinfi' project had a
total of 1,000 girls enrolled and these
meirhers frade 5,000 accessories during
the year

Tbroiijirbout the year emphasis i/^s placed
on building a citizenship program through
the use of the discu.ssion method. At
the three 4-11 suuirrier conferences, group
thinking periods were developed to en-
courage club members to learn to do their
ovm thinking" and to solve problems. 4-E
round table talks were worked out as part
of the defense program in many of the
corniviunitias in tho stato,.

For tbe older club members anothei^
discussion program was conducted ^m<ler
the tltl© of ''4-H in Action,'* These dis-
cussion pro|?Tams were brought about be-
cause the 4-H leuders know that behind
the ships and planes and guns America
needs for dafense she also needs a strong
and alert youth..

"Safety in the Eome" was the health
activity selected for 1941. One of the
objectivss of this program waB to help
create a greater consciousness of the
lijipcrtance of the need of safety in every-
day living Club itjembers practiced rules
of safety as well as doing things at home
to help prevent home accidents.

The state 4-H Girls* Day heM on the
carspus of l^^assacnusetts State College
brought to the attention of the girls
ways in which they can GQTve thoir homo,
tbeir conmlnity, and their country, 4#M
girls ware encouraged to take part in
?ed Cross and other relief work and 276
clubs I'^sported some participation.

Many 4-E service club memborE have
enrolled in the civilian defense program
to act as »ir raid wardens, first aid
Instructors, Bed Cross v/orkers, etc.
During tho yer^r thoy also collected old
newspapers, scrap iron, and other discard-
sd materials necessary for defense,.

IJndor the direction of Dr. u. E.
■:;aker of the United States Department of
/"'.gr.1 culture, a study was carried on in

iseiected towns in four £.assachusetts
counties Ml the youths between the ages
of lu and 25 in th© rural areas of th©se
towr.s were interviewed to dotormine vjhat
they considered to be their most impor-*
tant problems, In noririal times the young
prcplo find increasing difficulty in get*
ting started in useful emplojvient . These
facts were reflected in this youtb survey,
And two out of every five problems listed,
by the bo'js were economic In nature.
These same problems were also of cerious
conssqu©D-C8 to th© girls.

To aid these elder rural youths in
a better understanding of their probiesis,
assistants to the county 4-II club agents
were appointed in three counties, Wor-
cester, 3erK shire, and liaiipahire, to or-
ganise and supervise older ^;outh discus-
siori groups, Oroup® were organised in 25
to^BS and during the period from January
to July they m&i regularly, usually twice
each B-ionth, for a pei^iod of dlscuEslcn.

MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLL,t!.GJi;
filfiPORT Oi' THE TREASURE
For the lisoal Year Ended November 30, 194I

The State appropriation for the general maintenance
of the College for the year ended Not ember 30, 1941, as.
shovm in schedules A and C2 of this report, represents an
increase of sl>56, 740.25 over the preceding year. This
increase was largely for the purpose of meeting the increased
costs of operation of' plant due to the addition of two self-
liquidating dormitories, Lewis Hall for men and Butterfield
House for women. The appropriation of i'ederal funds for
general College maintenance during this period decreased
^4,044»94<. Expmditures of State and Federal funds for the
operation of the main functions of the College, including
Administration J Resident Instruction, Research, Control
Services and College Extension Service, increased $2,491=43
during this year, as compared to the preceding year.

The reduction in Federal appropriation is accounted for
by a decrease of $2,700 in funds 4pp3?opriated for instruction
under the Bankhead-Jones Act, and a reduction in appropria-
tions for the Extension Service at the College. Federal
funds for County Extension services were increased. Bank-
head-Jones funds for instruction are allocated on the basis
of population, and the recent decennial census indicated a

-2-

chaEse ia the relative position jf Massacliusetts
requiring a reduction of fUnds.

Receipts from sales and student fees, all of
which revert to the Treasurer of the CoEmonwealthj
increased in 1941 by the amount of #53»S6$.65o Again
this is largely accounted for by increased dormitory
and hoarding hall operations^

Account Inr^ and Control

The principal change in financial procedures
during the year v/as the requirement hy the Comnjlssioii
on Administration and Finance that all expenditures for
maintonajace for the various departmonts and services of
the College be kept within the budget amount for the
item. Heretofore the appropriation for general main-
tenance of the College has been as a single item, and
the College administration baa been able to vary the
budget allocations, if the needs of the Golles© warranted^
This requirement divided our maintenance appropriation
into forty-one items, each of which had to be balanced.
There is provision for transfer of funds upon approval
of the Comptroller and some transfers Vvere authorized
by him. However, the general effect is to limit expen-
ditures and reduce available funds.

^he unexpended balance in our State appropriations
at the close of the fiscal year, exclusive of Boarding

-3"

Hall and special appropriations ^ v/as.^9,472»B0.
Loss of Dairy Barn by Fire

On July 11 J 1941 the main dairy hay bam was des-
troyed by fire. Tlie bam had been constructed in 1910
at a cost of ^30,000, including the attached dairy stable
vi/hich was not lost in this fire.

An immediate request was filed with the Governor
and transmitted by him to the Legislature in a special
message for an appropriation of |?25yOOO to rebuild.
Action by the Legislature was delayed until the consider-
ation of the suppleiaoitary budget. In November an appro-
priation of $20,000 was mad® for the reconstruction of the
barn. As a result of competitit^e bidding the contract
was av/arded to the George H, Reed Oompany of Greenfield
for |;l3,7l2,00j the building to be completed on or before
May Ij 1942.

Power Plant Repairs

For several years it has been apparent that extensive
repairs to our power plant are iiaiiiinent. In 1938 the
Edward Co Brown Company of Boston vi;as employed as engineers
to survey our plant and to report upon the needed repairs
and improvements. Tliey presented a oomprehensiv® report
describing the various items of repair and improvement
v/hlch they recommended, and including as one alternative
a complete new boiler plant.

-4"

Same of tlae improvements rsoommended in this report
have been accomplished. In two recent budget requests th©
Trustees have included an item of $300,000 for a new heat-
ing plant. In _ the budget for 1941-42 the repairs and
renewals seotion included ten items of power plant im-'
provement, totaJ^ling $39,390, Provision for these was
not made in the appropriation. The urgency of repairs to
our 500 kilowatt generator was such that a- request was
made in the Supplementary Budget for an appropriation of
$7,400.

Instead of appropriating for the repair of the
generator^ the Legislature appropriated ^15*000 for th©
installation of an electric line oonaecting the campus
electric ajstem with the local utility company, and pro-
vided ^20,000 in 1942 for th© purchase of electric current
from the public utility. While this will obviate the
present necessity for extensive repairs to our generating
equipment , it does not solve the problem of depreciation
and obsolescence of our power plant. It vrould appear
wise to develop some reasonable prop;ram of replacement
of this plant in the near future.

iiindomaent Fund^

The endowment funds of the College were increased by
^1,830 during the year as the result of a bequest by the
will of Gertrude C. Head in honor of her late husband,
Frederick H. Read, alumnus of the Oollef;e in the class
of I896.

The income from endowiner!.t funds amounted to
J#6 5 336.39 on a principal of {^a57,015.15 book Value,
which is a return of 4,35^.

Accounting procedure for endowment funds was
changed on July 1 hy action of the Board of Trustees.
Under the new procedure securities purchased are
entered upon the books at cost. The principal is
credited vdth the net price received at the ti-r.® of
sale and bond premiums paid are amortized oTer the
period of purchase to maturity. The new accounting
procedure is that commonly practised by colleges and
is generally reeonmiended by professional aocountaats.

Self-Liquidatin^j; Dormitories

This report includes the first financial state-
ment covering the operation of our self -liquidating
dormitories, as provided by the Alumni organization,

Registration of Graduate Students — (Summer Session). Graduate students
not candidates for an advanced degree at Massachusetts State College must submit
evidence of their qualifications for graduate study but are not required to file transcripts
of their past scholastic record. All such should consult the Director of the Graduate
School and secure his consent before registering for any courses. These students may
obtain, upon request to the- Director, an official statement of the work completed in
the Summer Session.

Graduate students desiring credit toward an advanced degree at the Massachu-
setts State College must meet the requirements of the Graduate School at the time of
their registration which are as follows:

Admission — -Admission to the Graduate School will be granted:

1. To graduates of the Massachusetts State College.

2. To graduates of other institutions of good standing who have received a
bachelor's degree substantially equivalent to that conferred by this College.

Admission to the Graduate School does not necessarily qualify for candidacy for
an advanced degree and graduate courses maj^ be pursued even if there is no interest
in a degree.

Applications for membership in the Graduate School should be presented to the
Director of the Summer Session accompanied by an official transcript of the appli-
cant's undergraduate record, by a record of any graduate work he may have had, and
by a statement of the applicant's desires regarding a degree.

Registration is required of all students taking graduate courses, the registration

Fees — ■ For graduate students the usual Summer School expenses of tuition and
special fees will be collected.

Graduate Studies — • Some graduate work is available during each semester of the
college year. In the summer session, however, students desiring to take work other
than that listed in this circular are required to make special arrangements with the
head of the respective department.

Instructors should note that the passing grade for graduate students is the same
as for undergraduates with the understanding that a higher quality of work is required
in the case of the former.

During the present summer session these courses may be taken for credit toward
an advanced degree.

on the college grounds. Board may be had at from $6.50 to $7.00 a week. Good board-
ing places can also be secured outside of the college if desired.

RECREATION

The Summer Session offers many advantages. Amherst, a quiet college town
located in the beautiful Connecticut Valley and rich in historical lore, beckons the
summer visitor. The living conditions are excellent and especially desirable for stu-
dents who wish to spend a part of the summer in study and restful surroundings.

The social life of the Summer School is attractive. There are many interesting
places — groves, brooks, woods, near Amherst which are easily accessible, especially
for those with cars.

Some play hobby should be mixed with the study program. Choose your own.
Try them all.

Picnics — Picnic parties are held at such scenic spots as Mount Holyoke, Whately
Glen and Sky Pasture in the Pelham Hills. These get-togethers are one of the high
spots of the recreation program.

Golf — Amherst has a fine nine-hole course and privileges are extended to summer
school students at a special rate for the six weeks.

Swimming — The College swimming pool, located in the Physical Education
Building, will be available from July 7, if use by students warrants. Recreation fee
includes this privilege without further cost to the student.

Tennis — Several newly constructed courts will be available for the use of summer
school students.

Lawn Bowls — This game is rapidly becoming popular. A set of bowls may be
used at any time. Summer school and resident faculty members are cordially invited
to play.

Bowling— Indoors — The bowling alleys in Memorial Hall will be open for use by
summer school students on two afternoons a week. Recreation fee will cover the cost.

Badminton, archery, softball and horseshoe pitching are other sports for which
facilities and equipment are provided. The only equipment not furnished would be
such items as tennis balls or badminton "shuttles."

Recreation for the Summer Session will be under the direction of Assistant Professor
Llewellyn L. Derby of the Division of Physical Education.

CAMPUS FACILITIES

The College — The College campus occupies an attractive site three-quarters
of a mile north of Amherst center. The College has over 700 acres of land, most of
which is in a high state of cultivation, demonstrating the better practices of many of
the leading agricultural industries of Massachusetts. There is a large range of green-
houses of the most modern and approved type; there is a modern dairy barn with a
large herd of pure-bred cattle; there are good horses, pure-bred swine, sheep, and poultry;
there are fields of corn, potatoes, clover, and grass in season; orchards of apple, peach,
plum, and pear trees; tracts of good forest land, nurseries, and market gardens. There
are also considerable tracts devoted to experiments, many of which are of unusual
interest.

Libraries — The Goodell Library contains over 100,000 bound volumes and a
very large collection of pamphlets, which are of great practical value, being mono-
graphs on the technical subjects studied in the College. These pamphlets include
particularly the publications of the United States Department of Agriculture and
those of the State Experiment Stations of other Agricultural colleges in this country
and abroad. Among the bound volumes, works on agriculture, horticulture, botany,
entomology and the various sciences, connected especially' with agriculture predom-

inate, but literature, history, economics, religion, sociology and art are also well rep-
resented. More than five hundred periodicals, covering technical and general subjects,
are regularly taken and both the current numbers and the back files are readily ac-
cessible.

The library is open for readers from 8:00 A. M. to 5:00 p. m. during the summer.

There are numerous department libraries, such as those in Stockbridge Hall, and
French, Marshall, and Clark Halls, where many valuable publications may be used.

The town of Amherst in its Jones Memorial Library offers further additional
advantages of unusual interest.

College Bookshop and Soda Fountain — The College maintains a bookstore
providing all textbooks used in courses. This is located in North College. A full line
of paper, notebooks, and writing materials is carried. There is also a well-equipped
soda fountain, and light lunches, ice cream, and smokers' supplies are on sale. Since
the college is situated about one mile north of the town and away from the shopping
centre, it is hoped this convenient arrangement will aid students in supplying their
various needs.

the dates are July 28 to August 1, inclusive. A fine program
of lectures, with many speakers of national prominence,
gives summer school students an unusual opportunity
during this session. No extra fees. Plan to have your
friends visit the college at that time.

SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES

BIOLOGY
Fundamentals of Nutrition

A course designed to give the student an understanding of digestion, assimilation
and utilization of foodstuffs by the human body. It includes, also, a study of the
nutritive value of foods and the principles on which adequate dietaries are planned.
Food preparation in relation to the conservation of nutritive value will be stressed.

The National Defense Council recognizes that one of the first lines of defense for
the nation is adequate nutrition. Quality as well as quantity of the nation's food is
important. This program can be better carried out if more people have a working
knowledge o( the principles of nutrition.

This course should be of value to teachers and to workers in the various fields of
public health. Also, it should serve as a refresher course for homemakers and others
who would like to bring their nutrition up-to-date.

5 class hours a week. 3 semester credits.

11:00-11:50, M. T. W. Th. F.

Room 111, Stockbridge Hall. Mrs. Gladys \l. Cook

Genetics and Eugenics

This course deals with the general problems concerned in human reproduction
and inheritance. The main topics studied will consist of the physiology of reproduction,
the physical basis of inheritance, and the mode of transmission of human characteristics.
Consideration will also be given to such questions as the causes of variation, the relative

EDUCATION
Principles and Methods of Teaching

For teachers of experience, this course provides a review through critical study of
basic principles and accepted methods of teaching, with their application through
effective devices; for prospective teachers, it provides an introduction to the professional
view of their work. Care is taken that theory is interpreted in concrete classroom ex-
periences with principles, methods, and devices identified. By these, any teacher may
check future work and know that it is on solid foundations. This will help to take the
guess-work out of teaching procedures and make them defensible.

Professional Possessions

Teachers do better work when they feel sure of themselves. Confidence is based
upon the possession of the right equipment. Confidence grows as skill in the use of
equipment increases. Teachers everywhere covet that feeling of security which is the
reward of right possessions well used. So this course attempts to offer the effective
minimum of professional possessions with suggestions for their use. Among them are
psychological bases of human behavior, fundamental laws of learning, basic principles
of teaching, legal rights and privileges, educational evolution revealed by history,
educational development in Massachusetts, personal inventory, etc. The intention is
to encourage possession of certain important social and personal items that bring with
them the sense of readiness for and feeling of confidence in work.

Makers of Educational History

The fundamental assumption behind this course is that the broad panorama of
education throughout the ages will have greater reality and be more stimulating if
studied from the background of the great personages who played a part in conditioning it.
Much can be learned from the ideas of these men which will function directly in under-
standing the purpose of American education and the institutions set up for acheiving it.

THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE

Two- Year Nori'Degree Courses in Agriculture and Related Vocations

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture was organized in 1918, under the name of
"The Two Year Course in Practical Agriculture," for the purpose of meeting the demand
for shorter courses in agriculture which might be taken by students who could not satisfy
college entrance requirements or who, for one reason or another, were unable to take
the college course. In 1928 the School was given its present name in honor of Levi
Stockbridge, first professor of agriculture in the College and its fifth president.

As the course is now organized, students may specialize in any one of eight vocations:
animal husbandry, dairy manufactures, floriculture, ornamental horticulture, fruit grow-
ing, poultry husbandry, vegetable gardening, or stewarding for hotel and restaurant
training. Specialization in a vocation does not prevent students from securing a general
working knowledge of other subjects. The Stockbridge School v/ill appeal not only to
young men and women, but also to men and women of mature years and practical
experience who wish to know more about the business of farming or related industries.
The School is not intended for students enrolled in a high school; such students should
complete their high school course before seeking admission.

Since its organization at the request of the Massachusetts Legislature, the school has
registered over 2500 students, graduated twenty-one classes numbering more than 1600
members, and enrolled for the last school year (1940-41) 280 young men and women.

The value of this kind of concentrated, technical schooling, aiming directly toward
jPreparation for a definite field of work, is amply demonstrated by the useful careers of
jour graduates.

plication blank, write or apply to Director Roland H. Verbeck, Massachusetts State
College, Amherst, Mass.

The President's Letter

To Alumni and Friends of Massachusetts State College:

The Seventy-first Commencement of Massachusetts State College will be unusually*
interesting to all who visit our Campus this June. We expect to dedicate our new men's
dormitory, Lewis Hall, and our new women's dormitory and commons, the Kenyon L.
Butterfield House. In this way we shall pay tribute to the unflagging loyalty of ourr
Alumni who have shown so dramatically in these buildings what may be accomplished
by united effort.

We know that the seniors who are leaving our Campus this year will be entering.;
upon a troubled world, a world in which many of their previously conceived standards'
may be rudely challenged. However, we have faith in our young people, and a fiim con-
fidence in their ability to create for themselves an opportunity for ser^ice to our de-
mocracy. After all, such service is the real justification of the time spent on tliein
education.

Our Commencement speaker this year will be the Honorable Da^id I. WaLsh,
United States Senator from Massachusetts. Dr. Will H. Houghton, President of thei
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, will deliver the Baccalaureate address.

We sincerely hope that Alumni and friends of the College everywhere w ill be with i
us in June to share in celebrating this, the Seventy-first Commencement of Massa-
chusetts State College.

Cordially yours,

Hugh P. Baker.

MASSACHUSETTS
STATE COLLEGE

iSTOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL
OF AGRICULTURE

"No other human occupation opens so wide a field for
the profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cul-
tivated thought, as agriculture. I know nothing so pleasant
to the mind as the discovery of anything that is at once
new and valuable — ^nothing that so lightens and sweetens
toil as the hopeful pursuit of such discovery. And how vast
anld how varied a field is agriculture for such discovery.
The mind, already trained to thought in the countrj^ school
or higher school, cannot fail to find there an exhaustless
source of enjoyment. Every blade of grass is a study; and
to produce two where there was but one is both a profit and
a pleasure. And not grass alone; but soils, seeds, and sea-
sons; hedges, ditches, and fences; draining, drouths, and
irrigation; plowing, hoeing and harrowing; reaping, mow-
ing and threshing ; saving crops, pests of crops, diseases of
crops, and what will prevent or cure them; implements,
utensils, and machines, their relative merits, and to improve
them; hogs, horses, and cattle; sheep, goats, and poultry;
trees, shrubs, fruits, plants, and flowers; the thousand
things of which these are specimens — each a world of study
within itself."

— Abraham Lincoln —

From address at Wisconsin State Fair,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September 30, 1859. \

Note: President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act making possible all Land-Grant Col- m
leges in this country, of which we are an honored member. •

THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture, organized in 1918, is a separate and
distinct department of the College providing training of a strictly vocational
type in the fields of agriculture, horticulture, and in related business activities.

Nine programs of study are offered, one of which must be selected by each
student and completed as specified for the school diploma. The present list
of offerings includes:

Division of Agriculture

*Limited enrolment

Since its organization at the request of the Massachusetts Legislature the
school has registered over 2,500 students, graduated twenty-two classes number-
ing more than 1,600 members, and enrolled for the last school 3'ear (1940-41) 279
young men and women.

The largest number of students come from Massachusetts, but all the New
England States are usually represented in the student body.

The value of this kind of concentrated, technical schooling, aiming directh'
toward preparation for a definite field of work, is amply demonstrated by the
useful careers of our graduates.

General Information

Entrance Conditions: — The school program is open to any student who is
seventeen years old or over and who has completed at least an elementary
school course or its equivalent. There are no entrance examinations.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is not intended to divert students at
present enrolled in high schools. Such students should complete the high school
course if possible.

A graduate of a Massachusetts county school of agriculture or of an agri-
cultural department of a high school in this state, may complete certain major
courses for a diploma in one year, if he is recommended by the director of the
school or the agricultural instructor because of outstanding scholastic and
experience record. Statement and record must be submitted from the school
with application. This arrangement cannot apply to the Hotel Stewarding or
Marketing Perishable Foods programs and rarely to Ornamental Horticulture.
Excessive enrolments in Animal Husbandry and Dairy Manufactures beyond
capacity of present teaching staff, laboratories, and placement service to handle
effectively, forces limited classes of 35 and 25 respectively, in these two major
subjects. Therefore, this plan cannot apply to any limited courses so desig-
nated herein.

How to Enrol. — Fill out application blank. Form I, page 57 giving all in-
formation requested. Be sure to indicate course you wish to elect. INIail this
form, with citizenship certificate. Form II, on same page, to Director of Short
Courses. If apphcation is accepted you will be notified, and certificate of citizen-

ship will be kept on file until you register. In Animal Husbandry and Dairy
Manufactures, restricted classes require special data as explained on supple-
mentary application blank, Form III, page 59. For Hotel Stewarding and Mar-
keting Perishable Foods, two other limited courses, Form IV, page 59 should be
used with Forms I and II. No fees are required until registration.

Registration. — Registration will be held in Memorial Hall on Monday, Sep-
tember 29, for freshmen, and Tuesday, September 30, for seniors. All freshman
students should be on campus from the day of registration until classes open on
Thursday to meet required appointments for mental tests, physical examina-
tions, and individual photographs for office records, and to have class schedules
and individual programs explained.

Limited. Courses. — Failure to complete registration on date designated (on
school calendar) without notifying this office in advance so that vacancy can be
filled from reserve list, will forfeit any further consideration of an approved
applicant in a limited enrolment course.

Instruction. — Instruction is given by the college teaching staff through
classroom teaching, laboratory exercises and practical work. The work of the
classroom is supplemented by demonstration work in the barns, dairy plant,
greenhouses and orchards. It is designed to offer fundamental information, and
to establish the underlying reasons as well as the special methods employed in
the various operations. The advantages of the college instructors and the college
plant with all its resources are thus made available to young men and women
selecting some one of these vocational programs.

First Semester: — All Stockb ridge classes begin two weeks after the opening
of CoUege classes, closing in February, with the usual College holidays as indi-
cated on calendar, page 2. Second semester: — Freshman poultry students com-
plete only one month of the second semester because early placement is required
by employers. Other freshman classes continue to April first, when most
students are assigned to placement jobs, excepting Hotel Stewarding freshmen
who complete two full semesters, taking only four months placement. Class
work is required at the College in the months of October to March inclusive,
with exceptions noted; placement training for practical experience on jobs away
from the College, on a wage basis, is required of all first year students from
April to September inclusive.

Credit and Diploma. — In order to obtain a diploma a student must complete
satisfactorily the program of study in which he has registered. A student fail-
ing to pass the requirements of summer placement training, after a suitable
job has been assigned him, is not eligible for graduation until this deficiency
is made up, and may not be allowed to enrol for the second year, if the Director
of Placement Service considers his record to be unsatisfactory.

Graduation from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture does not fulfill the
requirements for entrance in the degree course, nor are credits earned during
the course transferable regularly toward credit for a degree at this College.

Graduation Requirement. — No student will be graduated unless all bills due
the college are paid on or before the Wednesday preceding graduation exercises.
If paid after that date, and otherwise eligible, he may be graduated the follow-
ing year.

Diplomas and letters of honorable dismissal will be withheld from all students
who have not paid bills due the College, or legitimate bills due private indi-
viduals or business concerns.

A diploma will not be awarded to any senior, if arrears are reported by either
Club. All bills for second semester, senior year, must be settled with the respec-
tive Clubs not later than the Wednesday before graduation.

Attendance at commencement sermon and graduation exercises are required
of all seniors.

Seniors who have borrowed from the Goldthwait Loan Fund will have di-
plomas held as collateral by the College until they have paid up loans in full.
This in no way interferes with the privileges of graduation.

Scholarship Regulations. — At the close of each semester students receive a
formal report showing the standings given in the subjects pursued by them.

If a student's semester mark in any subject falls below 60 per cent, he is
thereby failed (F) in the subject. He shall be debarred from taking the final
examination in that subject and must repeat it with the following class.

If the average of the semester mark and the final examination is below 60
percent, the student is thereby conditioned ($).

Student grades will be recorded at the end of the seventh week of each semes-
ter and again at the end of the semester. The Faculty Committee will consider
all questionable grades after each marking period, and instructors will note on
grade reports the names of all students whose work is seriously deficient.

When a student's record indicates failures or uniformly poor work, the Faculty
Committee may recommend a close supervision of his work by the faculty ad-
viser in his major course, or, if his scholastic grades disqualify him from further
work in the school, he may be asked to withdraw at any time.

A first year student who has deficient scholastic work at the end of the first
semester in February shall not be eligible for placement training until his work
meets the required standard.

At the end of any semester a student who has a failure in more than one sub-
ject or is conditioned in more than two subjects may be dismissed.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Absences from Class

(1) No unexcused absences will be allowed from classes. (2) All excuses for
absence shall be presented by the student in writing, and, if approved by the
Director, an excuse card will be granted to be signed by the instructor. Excuse
cards must be returned promptly to the office when properly signed. (3) Stu-
dents presenting excuse cards covering absences are expected to make up all
work missed, to the satisfaction of the instructor. (4) Instructors are directed
to reduce final grades five points for each unexcused absence occurring on a
student's record at the end of any semester. (5) No excuses will be accepted
at the Short Course Office unless presented within two days after the student
returns to classes. (6) Two tardinesses unexcused shall count as one absence.
(7) Absences from classes immediately before or after a holiday are not
allowed except by special permission. (8) The Short Course Office requires
all students to report at once any illness to the college physician, particularly
if absence from class is likely to result from the illness. (9) Students fail-
ing to observe these rules are placed on probation, and may be asked to
withdraw from the course if further violations occur.

Absences from Examinations or Tests

(1) Any student who absents himself from an appointed examination without
sufficient cause shall be given zero thereon. In such case he shall not be entitled
to a make-up examination unless the Director so requests. A previously an-
nounced test may, at the discretion of the instructor, be regarded as a test or as
an examination.

(2) Every absence taken before enrolment (the signing of the registration
card by the teacher) in a class will be counted.

Student Expenses

Tuition. — A tuition fee of $50 per semester is charged students, residents of
Massachusetts, enrolled in the Stockbridge School of Agriculture. Students who
are not residents of Massachusetts are charged a tuition fee of $110 each semes-
ter. The tuition per semester, charged persons not citizens of the United States
is $110. Students entering from Massachusetts, unless of voting age them-
selves, are required to file a statement signed by either town or city clerk,
stating that the applicant's parent is a legal resident of Massachusetts. (See
Form II in back of catalog.)

Tuition fees and special taxes of $65.00 approximately, are payable in full ;
at the Treasurer's Office not later than one week after classes "begin for the i
semester. According to administration ruling, students not paying semester
accounts when due are suspended from classes. All checks payable to the
College should be made out to Treasurer, Massachusetts State College.

A student who withdraws from college for any reason before a semester is
half completed will have refunded to him one-half the fees paid for that semester,
but one who leaves after completing more than the half semester will be allowed
no rebate of fees.

The placement training period between the first and second year usually en-
ables a student to earn from $150 to $300 depending upon his skill and general
ability, and the type of work. Of this amount $100 to $200 should be saved to
apply to the expenses of the second year.

Prospective students should understand that the above estimates cover ex-
penses which may be called strictly college expenses, and that there are other
financial obligations voluntarily placed upon students which they should expect
to meet. Chief among these are class assessments and taxes levied for main-
tenance of various organizations, such as the Social Union, Athletic Association,
weekly pubhcations, etc. Such expenses vary from $15 to $30 a year. Ad-
ditional financial responsibility is also assumed by students joining clubs or
entering into other social activities of the college. Besides the amount necessary
for clothes and traveling, the economical student will probably spend between
$300 and $400 for the first year of one and one-half semesters in residence, and
$400 to $500 for the second year of two semesters.

Rooms

Dormitory rooms are available only to students of the four year college course.
Private homes in the town furnish the only source of rooms for Stockbridge
students.

Rooms have been inspected by the student health officer and students are
expected to make their own rooming arrangements from a file of approved places
available at the Short Course Office. A more complete listing is not available
until after September 15. Students select their own rooms. The Short Course
Office can not select or assign rooms.

Board

Stockbridge freshmen are not required to secure meals in College cafeteria,
but can do so if more convenient.

A number of public restaurants or dining rooms are located close to the
college where most students arrange for meal service, usually approximating
$1.00 a day, with allowances made if student goes home on week-ends, class
schedule permitting.

A new student had best sample the various places to find the one suited to
his needs, or where he can meet with congenial members of his class group.
This arrangement is entirely a personal affair, like the choice of a room, and
the School assumes no direct responsibility for such services in any way.

Books and Supplies

For the convenience of students the College maintains a store service in
North College. Here all textbooks may be purchased at cost plus transporta-
tion charges. Students are informed at the first class session in each course
what books are required and must secure individual copies according to order
list sent in by instructor.

There is little opportunity to secure secondhand books because most students
find the texts assigned of value to retain as reference sources after completing
a course.

Student Aid

Students desiring any form of financial aid from the college including scholar-
ship, employment, or loan, are required to file applications with the Student Aid
Committee not later than June 10 of each year. Incoming freshmen are allowed
an extension of time.

These application forms are used to determine the comparative need of the
apphcants and are passed on by the Student Aid Committee. No student is
ehgible for any kind of financial assistance from the College unless he or she has
filed the required form and has been certified as deserving by the Student Aid
Committee. Application forms may be secured at the Placement Service Office,
South College.

Self Help. — It is recommended that no new student enter without having
at least $250 and preferably $350 with which to meet the expenses of the first
year. The college does not encourage students to enter without money in the
expectation of earning their way entirely. The student will find it better to
work and accumulate sufficient funds before coming to college, or take more than
two years in completing his course.

No student should undertake work that interferes with his studies, and
students should understand that, owing to the large number of applications for
employment, no one may receive a large amount of work at the college.

First year students particularly should not risk failure in their beginning
studies at Stockbridge by taking on such extra work until they have, at least,
tested themselves in the study program of the first semester. Certainly, it is
advised to proceed cautiously in combining both extra work and athletics at
the same time, if the student's scholastic record is at all questionable.

The Vincent G-oldthwait Loan Fund. — This fund was estabhshed by Dr.
Joel E. Goldthwait, M.S.C. 1885, of Boston, as a memorial to his son who died

in 1922 during his junior year at Harvard. Its purpose is to aid worthy senior
students who find it difficult to secure adequate finances to complete their final
year. Only seniors needing emergency assistance in addition to funds already
available will be considered. Amounts in excess of $200.00 are rarely granted
and most loans range from $50 to $150.00.

A regular promissory note must be executed, endorsed by parent or guardian,
and repayment may be made within any reasonable period after graduation up
to one year. There is no interest charge.

N.Y.A. Student Employment Projects

The College has been granted student employment funds by the Federal Gov-
ernment since the adoption of the program. The policy of the Federal Adminis-
tration cannot be predicted, but it is safe to assume that as long as student
rehef projects are in effect this college will be a participant. The type of work
to which students are assigned under N.Y.A. projects consists of the following:
Clerical and office, building and grounds maintenance, farm, greenhouse and
orchard duties, helpers in livestock and cattle barns, and all other or miscel-
laneous types.

In addition to the college projects, community projects are organized consist-
ing of the following types of work: Education, recreation, health and welfare
and other miscellaneous types.

The rate of pay is 30 cents per hour. The positions are based on the average
earning capacity of $15 per month, though the class schedule of Stockbridge
students is unusually heavy thus making it difficult for many students to reach
these earnings. During the past college year ten per cent of our students were
assigned to positions under this project.

Special consideration is given to new students under these projects, for while
the general college policy does not encourage the new student to seek employ-
ment, one of the conditions under which the College participates in the N.Y.A.
projects is that new students receive their pro rata share.

General Exercises

Assembly exercises are held weekly on Wednesdays, 11:00-12:00 M., and
serve to bring together all Stockbridge students for a general program deahng
with matters of interest to the College and the School. Among speakers who
appear from time to time are the President of the College, members of the Col-
lege staff and occasionally others who have interesting subjects to present.
This weekly assembly also enables announcements concerning students and
student affairs to be presented, and permits class presidents to make advance
reservations for business meetings when necessary. No unexcused absences
from this exercise are allowed.

Two assemblies each month are used for special song practice to train all
students in both school and popular songs.

Student Activities

A large number of student organizations furnish opportunity to students for
work and leadership.

The Massachusetts State College Social Union was established about fifteen
years ago. All students become members of the Union by pajdng a small fee,
and in the fall and winter months the Union gives a series of entertainments,
free to students and faculty. Memorial Hall is the center of student activities
and contains offices for the various student organizations, including the Stock-
bridge School Student Council. On the first floor are located a lounging room,
the Memorial Room, and the offices; in the basement, bowhng alleys, pool and
ping pong tables; and on the second floor an auditorium for meetings and
dances. This building was erected by the alumni, students, faculty, and friends
in honor of the fifty-one "Aggie" men who gave their lives in the World War.

The Stockbridge School Council is composed of representatives of the first
and second year classes. This body serves as a general committee on student
government and helps to maintain the best traditions and customs of the School.

A student yearbook called "The Shorthorn" is published annually by the mem-
bers of the graduating class, and is usually issued in June. All students subscribe
to it.

For those students who play musical instruments there are opportunities
with the College Orchestra and the College Band.

In the place of fraternities the faculty have authorized social organizations
called "clubs" in the Stockbridge School. There are two such organizations
for men in the student body, Alpha Tau Gamma and Kappa Kappa, both
owning houses, serving as social and residential centers for their groups. For
the small group of women students there is a Tri Sigma Club.

A Stockbridge Honorary Scholastic Society called "Stosag" was established
in 1935 to encourage high scholarship. Students whose records show no grade
below 70 in any subject and whose averages for the first three semesters are
85 or better are elected to membership in the society each June. Engraved
certificates are awarded to members of the graduating class who have achieved
this distinction.

Athletics and Physical Education. — The School has its own separate athletic
program with regular schedules in football, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country
and winter track. Sweaters and insignia are awarded to team members and
managers in these sports. The official insignia is the letter S.

The football team plays a schedule of 7 games with preparatory school
teams. The basketball team plays a 10 game schedule; the cross-country team
usually runs 3 races, while 2 or 3 meets are scheduled for the winter track squad.
Ice hockey affords 6 to 8 games depending on the weather.

Due to the fact that freshmen are on placement training during the spring
term which leaves only seniors available, no regular team is maintained in
baseball. Men desiring to play are organized into teams and an intramural
league is arranged.

This athletic program is entirely under the supervision and direction of the
Physical Education Department of the College and coaches are provided for
all sports. Instructor Lorin E. Ball, director of the Stockbridge physical
education work is coach of football, basketball, and has charge of the spring
recreation program. . Assistant Professor Llewellyn L. Derby, coach of the varsity
track team, has charge of the cross-country and winter track squads.

All students are urged to participate in some sport each semester, but first
year students should be sure all studies are well maintained. No squads are
reduced by eliminating the inexperienced players and everyone is given an
•opportunity to play in games. The football squads for the past two years have
consisted of approximately 50 candidates. Games have been scheduled for
both the second and third teams so that every man on the squad has participated
in an outside scheduled game. Both the first and second teams in basketball
have regularly scheduled games and an intramural league schedule is arranged
for those not playing on the first squad.

Every care is exercised to guard against men overtaxing their strength in any
sport or game to the detriment of their health. No man whose physical
condition is at all questionable is allowed to play on the teams. A careful check
is maintained by required physical examinations for all students given by the
college physician at the opening of the school year. A second examination is
made of each man before permission is granted to participate in any sport.

Students also subscribe to the college varsity games and have attendance
privileges for varsity sports on the campus.

Class work in physical education for men not on athletic squads is required
for both seniors and freshmen during the first semester. This consists of 2
class periods a week. The object of this course is to give the men some
knowledge of games which may be of value to them in after school days, as
well as to give every man an opportunity to develop sufficient control over
his body to enable him to get pleasure from physical activities and to establish
correct health habits.

The freshmen receive instruction in soft ball, touch football, golf, and
swimming. Men may elect football or cross-country, instead of the regular
class work. The seniors take up volley ball, badminton, archery, and swimming.

They may also elect football or cross-country. The classes are organized into
teams which compete against each other with much rivalry. Students are
expected to wear old clothes during the play period, and shower baths are
required at the close of each class period.

A physical education building containing a swimming pool, a great indoor cage
150 by 180 feet for all kinds of sports and games, and complete locker room and
shower bath facilities provide ample equipment to carry out this program.
Individual equipment is supplied to all members of the football, hockey, basket-
ball, cross-country, and track squads.

STUDENT RELATIONS

The customary high standard of college men in honor, manliness, self-respect,
and consideration for the rights of others constitutes the standards of student
deportment.

Any student known to be guilty of dishonest conduct or persistent violation
of rules must be reported by the instructor to the Director for discipline.

The privileges of the college may be withdrawn from any student at any time
if such action is deemed advisable.

It should be understood that the college, acting through its President or any
administrative officer designated by him, distinctly reserves the right not only
to suspend or dismiss students, but also to name conditions under which students
may remain in the institution. For example, if a student is not doing creditable
work he may not only be disciplined, but he may be required to meet certain
prescribed conditions in respect to his studies, even though under the foregoing
rules his status as a student be not affected. The same provision applies equally
to the matter of absences.

Similarly, also, it applies to participation in student activities. Though this
wiU ordinarily be governed by the rules as already laid down, yet if in the
judgment of the college authorities a student is neglecting his work on account
of these activities, the privilege of participating in them may be withdrawn
for such time as is considered necessary. Moreover, it may be withdrawn as a
punishment for misconduct.

HEALTH SERVICE

The College endeavors to safeguard the health of all students while on 1he
campus and for this purpose maintains a Department of Student Health, staffed
by two physicians, two resident registered nurses, and operates a group of three
Infirmary buildings.

(1) Physical examination by the Health Service is required of all undergraduate
students annually, or more often if indicated. This examination is given
to freshmen during matriculation week. Evidence of a SUCCESSFUL
smallpox vaccination is required.

(2) The Student Health physicians have offices in the Physical Education
Building and in the Out-Patient Building, where they may be consulted
during college hours.

(3) The Infirmary consists of three buildings, one for bed patients, one for
contagious cases, and one for out-patient cases, where the out-patient clinic
is conducted daily by one of the Student Health physicians.

(4) Students are urged to consult the resident physicians at the first sign of
physical disorder, or for even minor accidents. Manj^ severe illnesses and
much lost time can be avoided by early or preventive treatment.

(5) A Trustee ruling grants free time in the Infirmary — when necessary for
treatment — up to seven days in the school year. This free time applies
to regidarly enrolled undergraduate students only. For time in excess of
seven days or for other bed patients, a charge of $2.00 per day is made
against the patiei^t.

(6) In addition to the charges specified in paragraph 5, the following additional
expenses will be charged to the patient.

(a) Nurses. — In case a special nurse is required for the proper care of an
individual the services and board of this nurse will be paid by the
patient. Such a nurse will be under the general supervision of the
resident nurse.

(b) Professional Service. — If a student requires continuous medical atten-
tion by a physician, he may be required to select a town physician and
become responsible for fees charged by that physician.

(d) Laundry. — Expense for personal laundry or cleaning incurred by
students while in the Infirmary will be charged to the individual student.

GOODELL LIBRARY

This fine new building completed in 1935 houses the College Library. This
library contains one of the best collections in agriculture and related sciences
in the country, with special strength in entomology, botany, chemistry, horti-
culture, landscape architecture, soil science and animal husbandry, but with
considerable collections, also in literature, history, economics and sociology.
There are over 123,730 bound books, and over 50,000 classified pamphlets giving
most recent information. The periodical file contains over 500 current maga-
zines, both scientific and popular, and a careful selection of newspapers, to-
gether with many periodical pubhcations of learned societies. The Library is
unusually rich in files of journals and publications of Experiment Stations and
learned societies. The building is open on week days from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
and from 1.30 to 4.30 and 7 to 9 p.m. on Sundays during semesters and with
somewhat shorter hours during vacations and Summer School.

The building is named in memory of Henry Hill Goodell, President of the
College from 1886 to 1904 and College Librarian from 1886 to 1898.

AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN

Agriculture is a field in which women have always found some opportunity.
There are women farming independently, in all branches of agriculture. As a
rule poultry raising, small fruits and vegetable growing and floriculture, seem to
offer women an easier opportunity than dairy, stock and general farming.
Women are also finding some paid positions which include farm and estate
workers and managers, garden service workers and agricultural officers in state
correctional institutions.

FoT- the woman or girl whose home is already upon the farm the opportunity
is exceptionally good. With the help of an agricultural education there are open
to her many means of increasing her own or the farm income. With the knowl-
edge of farm life which she already possesses, and with the possibility of securing
occasional help from her family, she may be able to carry on and develop a
profitable enterprise of her own. The Stockb ridge School of Agriculture will
afford to the women who wish to engage in farming the practical training which
they will need to fit them for their work, and will open to them new doors of
opportunity. The particular problems which women engaged in farming will
have to meet, and the special lines of farming in which they will have favorable
opportunities, will be considered in a series of conferences.

Women who are interested in taking agricultural courses should correspond
with Miss Margaret Hamlin, Placement Officer for Women.

POSITIONS

The College does not guarantee positions to students registered in any of its
courses, but through the Placement Service it has an opportunity to recommend
students for a large number of positions. A record is kept of each student's
work and experience, and of his success in positions for which he has been recom-
mended after he has finished his course. Opportunities for trained men and
women, especially those who have had farm experience, are good.

A student desiring a recommendation from the college must meet the following
conditions : —

(1) He must be of good character.

(2) His previous record must be good.

(3) His work in all courses must be satisfactory.

Students who have not previously had a considerable amount of practical
experience cannot, as a rule, be recommended for positions of responsibility.
This is especially true of the better positions for which managers or superin-
tendents are wanted.

VOCATIONAL PLACEMENT

The work of locating first year students for apprentice training from April
to October, after the resident term is completed, is in charge of the Director of
Placement Service. Placement training for women students is in charge of
Miss Margaret Hamlin of the Placement Office. Every effort is made to secure
satisfactory positions affording the kind of training desired by the student, but
the Placement Office cannot guarantee to place every student for training, when
positions are not available. In normal times placement positions are secured
for all students who are eligible under these conditions.

1. Positions are secured that will enable a student to gain practical experience
in his particular vocation.

2. A student desiring placement at home may arrange for such assignment
if the Director of Placement approves. As a rule, it will be found more desirable
for a student to spend this six months away from home even though he plans to
be employed there after finishing the course. This statement is based on the expe-
rience of students who have already taken the course.

3. If credit is to be secured for the six months' placement training the follow-
ing rules must be carefully observed.

Rules for Stockbridge Students on Placement

1. The student must interview the Director of Placement earlj^ in his first
year in order that his quahfications, the type of work he wishes to pursue, and
his general fitness may be determined.

2. No final arrangement for placement training may be made by the student
himself until the Director of Placement has been consulted.

3. Students are required to complete their period of training without unneces-
sary absences.

4. No transfers are to be made by a student if he is to receive credit, until
permission has been had from the Director of Placement.

5. A position may not be given up by the student until the Director of Place-
ment has been notified.

6. A monthly report must be furnished on the form supplied, and submitted
not later than the fifth of each month during his training period.

7. A student whose grade of work is regularly poor (below a 70 rating) in
the classes of his major subject will not be eligible for placement training, unless
recommended by the department in charge of his major work.

8. When a student fails to complete the requirements of his placement train-
ing with a satisfactory grade, he is not allowed to take the work of the second
year.

9. All students are given a thorough physical examination by the Department
of Physical Education at the beginning of each college year. Any disabilities
liable to affect the student's placement work are noted, and, if of a serious
nature, recommendations for corrective measures are supplied. Parents
should understand that most kinds of agricultural work require a well-balanced

O
O

combination of brawn and brain. No student whose physical condition is ques-
tionable will be accepted for placement training without a physician's certificate,
and parents' approval.

It should be clearly understood by both employer and employee that the same
energy, regularity and general conduct will be expected of the student during
his period of placement training as is expected in his work in classes and on the
campus.

It should also be noted that this six months' experience is educational in its
nature. Students are expected to earn and receive a reasonable wage, but the
purpose of the training is the experience gained rather than the wage earned. The
scale of wages may vary in different localities, but each man's ability is given
very careful thought, that he may obtain a wage that is fair to him. In the event
of any misunderstanding the supervisor should be immediately informed.

THE LOTTA AGRICULTURAL FUND FOR GRADUATES
ENTERING AGRICULTURAL PURSUITS

(Prepared by the Lotta M. Crabtree College Committee with the
approval of the Trustees of the Lotta M. Crabtree Estate.)

A 1940 decision of the Probate Court of Norfolk County made available the
Lotta M. Crabtree Agricultural Funds to graduates of the Stockbridge School
of Agriculture, as well as to graduates of the four-year course at Massachusetts
State College. This decision does not, however, lessen the restrictions nor change
the purposes for which these funds can be used for farm financing.

The purpose of loans from these funds is to assist meritorious graduates who
are without means in estabhshing themselves in agricultural pursuits. These
loans are made without interest or service charges other than the cost of title
search and legal papers. They must, however, be paid back in full amount
within a reasonable length of time and there are certain restrictions on their use.

To avoid disappointment on the part of applicants and save unnecessary
work and expense in investigating applications for loans, there are certain
questions that the prospective borrower should answer for himself before
making application for a Crabtree loan. The more important of these follow:

1. Am I thoroughly qualified, both in training and experience, to success-
fully manage the project that I am planning? Experience on a farm or in the
agricultural enterprise contemplated, in addition to classroom training is one
of the first essentials for success. If such experience is lacking, it is usually
best to delay application for a loan until acquired.

2. Is the project that I seek assistance in financing really an "agricultural
pursuit" ?

3. Am I using these funds entirely to estabhsh myself in business or are
they being used in part to benefit some other person who is not a graduate
of Massachusetts State College or the Stockbridge School? This question some-
times arises in connection with "family" and "partnership" propositions. It
has no reference to a wife or other dependent but no part of the loan can be
used to finance a person who is not a State College or Stockbridge graduate.

4. Am I using these funds for refinancing present debts? The purpose
of these loans is to "establish" rather than "reestablish" persons in agricultural
pursuits. They cannot be used for retiring present debts.

5. Will the amount that I can hope to borrow from these funds adequately
finance the enterprise that I am planning to engage in? Lotta Agricultural
loans are used mostly to supplement other forms of financing rather than for
complete financing of farming operations. Reasonably definite plans for the
other financing, which the loan is intended to supplement, should be worked
out before applying for a Crabtree loan.

6. What can I offer as security to adequately safeguard this loan? A
Crabtree loan, like any other loan, should be safeguarded against possible death

or financial failure of the recipient. While character and personal integrity
of the applicant are large factors in decisions relative to granting a loan, ade-
quate security should be provided as far as possible.

7. Can I amortize my debt payments and other financial obligations so
that I can repay this loan within a reasonable period of time? Most Crab-
tree loans are made under definite agreement to repay within a relatively short
period of years. The Crabtree applicant should therefore make certain, barring
calamity, that his income above necessary operating and living expnses will be
great enough to allow annual, semi-annual or monthly payments on this loan
as well as on other debt obligations that he may be carrying.

8. Will this loan actually help me to make more money or will it merely
delay the time and increase the burden of final financial reckoning? The
answer to this question and also to No. 7 involves careful budgeting and plan-
ning ahead. Unless an applicant can show on paper by carefully projected
plans and budgets of expected receipts and expenses that he will benefit by a
loan, he is likely to have difficulty in repaying it.

Apphcations for the "Lotta Agricultural Fund" should be addressed to the
Trustees of the Lotta M. Crabtree Estate, 619 Washington Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, or may be secured at the Short Course Office or the Placement
Office at the College. Mr. Emory E. Grayson has been designated as the Stock-
bridge representative on the faculty committee which makes approval recom-
mendations to the Crabtree trustees. Decisions regarding the granting of a loan
rest entirely with the Trustees under the terms of Miss Crabtree's will.

Up to June 1941, seven Stockbridge School graduates have been granted loans
from the Lotta Agricultural Fund. The average amount of these loans is $2400,
both the amount and length of time for repayment varying with the type and
size of the business. Three of these men are engaged in dairying, two in
poultry, one operates a greenhouse and one is a general farmer. They are
graduates of the classes from 1931 to 1938.

DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

The Animal Husbandry major fits students to cope with the practical problems
of live stock production and management. It supplements and supports but
does not duplicate or replace the necessary experience gained only through actual
manual work in caring for animals. As a foundation, the study of breed history,
live stock trends, animal anatomy and physiology is required. Special attention
is given to physiological processes in breeding and feeding. Later courses show
how these processes actually function under the stockman's guidance.

A herd of about 150 dairy cattle including Ayrshires, Guernseys, Jerseys,
Holsteins and Milking Shorthorns, a band of about a dozen Percheron brood
mares, a flock of about 40 Southdown and Shropshire sheep and a herd of about
20 Chester White swine, together with modern barns and equipment for hous-
ing and caring for the above live stock, and a farm of several hundred acres
used primarily for the production of feed crops, gives ample scope for illustrat-
ing and giving practice in modern methods of live stock handling. The farm
and bams are our laboratory; the animals and accessories our equipment.

Graduates from the Animal Husbandry major for the most part secure posi-
tions as herdsmen or farm managers.

Because of overcrowded classrooms and laboratories, registrations in this
course are now strictly hmited to thirty-five students each year.
Special Enrolment Procedure. (Please follow instructions as given below.)

By reason of the limited number accepted for this course, a selective process
of admission has been made necessary, in order to admit those best qualified
and most hkely to profit by this specialized training program, as follows:

1. Fill out complete series of application blanks for Animal Husbandry
Course with full information requested. Forms required are numbered I, II,
and III, in back of catalog.

2. If a high school graduate, send transcript of your high school record with
statement of your principal certifying if you were in the upper 60% of your
class. If in the lowest 40% you are not eligible until after September 1, and
name will be placed on reserve list for possible acceptance then, if quota is
not filled previously.

Apphcants not attending high school or not completing high school course
will be placed on reserve list until September 1, and notified if class is not then
filled.

Applicants from out-of-state (not Massachusetts citizens) who are in the
upper 60% of their class, may be accepted up to one-fifth of the quota, namely,
seven in Animal Husbandry. Applicants over this number and those ranking in
the lower 40% of their class, will be placed on the reserve list until September 1.

POULTRY HUSBANDRY

There are excellent opportunities in poultry work for men and women who
have had the proper training. Graduates from this department have taken
their places as leaders in the industry and have filled them capably. Some
of them own their own breeding farms, manage or assist in the management
of commercial egg fanns, while others are in those industries which are closely
aUied with the production and marketing of poultry products.

Seven specialized courses and one general course are offered by this depart-
ment. Those students who specialize in poultry culture take all seven courses.
The general course is designed to give the students specializing in other branches
of agriculture and horticulture the fundamental principles underlying successful
poultry raising when a sideline on the farm.

The facihties for practical instruction in poultry husbandry include quarters
and equipment in Stockbridge Hall for efficient classroom teaching and demon-
strations.

The College Poultry Farm, our practical laboratory, comprises classrooms
and laboratories which provides facilities for practice in incubation, breeding,
feeding, fattening, killing, picking, candling and grading eggs, caponizing, judg-
ing, sexing, construction of poultry houses and appliances, and other phases
of poultry work.

The well-bred flock of about 1200 adult birds consists i^rincipally of single
comb Rhode Island Reds and Barred Plymouth Rocks. The largest flocks of
approximately 200 birds are used primarily for practical experiments and
demonstrations in housing, feeding, and management. The smaller flocks of
several other breeds are maintained for standard and production judging. Equip-
ment includes several types of lamp and mammoth type incubators; many
styles of coal, oil, wood, and electric brooders and chick batteries for brooding
and rearing approximately 5,000 chicks, also four dift'erent makes of cages
for laymg hens.

The practical phases of commercial poultry production are stressed in the
courses offered.

FRUIT GROWING

This course is arranged to give the student a sound practical knowledge of
fruit growing and allied subjects. Graduates who are capable and experienced
have advanced rapidly to positions of responsibihty in some of the larger
orchards of New England, and the demand is active for good men in that field.

Some graduates of this course have gone into business for themselves, estab-
lishing successful orchards of their own, or pruning, spraying and otherwise car-
ing for a number of small orchards, the owners of which are not prepared to do
their own work. Still others are packing house foremen or are engaged in some
other marketing activity. The fruit-growing industry of New England is an
important one and there are opportunities for good men who are well trained.

Practical work in the orchards under expert supervision is emphasized where
possible. It is intended to familiarize students with the best methods that have
been devised by experiment stations and leading fruit growers for the produc-
tion and marketing of high-quality fruits under New England conditions. The
Department of Pomology has about fifty acres of fruits easily accessible for
the classroom, and the orchards are used freely for purposes of instruction. All
the common tree fruits and small fruits are grown here on a commercial scale.
Many experiments and demonstrations are in progress in the plantations, offering
an exceptional opportunity to the student.

The Department also has a thoroughly up-to-date storage and packing house,
in which are several types of refrigerated and common storage rooms, fruit sizing
machines, and other modern equipment.

A good equipment is maintained of the principal types of orchard tools and
machines, including sprayers, plows, harrows, cultivators, tractor, prunning saws,
shears, etc., for study and trial by students. .

HOTEL STEWARDING

With the increasing importance and development of Massachusetts and other
New England states as centers of recreation, both winter and summer, hotels,
clubs and restaurants should have need for trained personnel with a knowledge
of food commodities, their selection, grades, prices, and preparation. This does
not mean skilled cooks or chefs, but rather persons with a knowledge of the
principal food supply problems of kitchen and dining room as dealt with in
the steward's department.

In the vocational agricultural courses already developed in this school such
information is largely available; that is, in the poultry department all types
of poultry meats and grades of eggs will be studied; in the dairy manufactures
department all kinds of dairy products, from the raw milk through all the
intermediate stages to l^utter, cheese, and ice cream, will be considered.

By vote of the College Trustees in June 1937, authorization was given for
such a short course, probably the first one of its kind in anv land grant college.

The Massachusetts Hotel Association through its Education Committee has
urgently solicited and actively sponsored the organization of a stewarding
course m this school, and has made available scholarship loans during the past
several years to aid needy and well qualified young men who had been recom-
mended by hotel or restaurant managers to take this type of work. Begirming
with 1938 the Boston Stewards' Club has given a scholarship prize fund to
assist students taking this work.

It has been found necessary to limit the size of the entering class to not
more than ten students because college laboratory facilities and teaching per-
sonnel cannot be increased at this time to accommodate a greater number.

Because hotel placement jobs are not available usually until June, all first
year students in this course wiU continue in resident study at the school from
April to June, or two months longer than other short courses described in
this catalog. The placement training period for Hotel Stewarding students
will be four months only, from June to October. This change makes a tuition
increase of $25.00 for Massachusetts students and $55.00 for students who
come from out of state. Board, room and fees for the full second semester will
increase costs of the first year by an estimated $100.00 as compared with other
major courses.

Special Enrolment Procedure. (Please follow instructions as given below.)

1. Fill out complete series of application blanks for Hotel Stewarding Course
with full information requested. Forms required are numbered I, II, and IV in
back of catalog.

2. If information submitted indicates satisfactory record of experience,

MARKETING PERISHABLE FOODS

_ The retailing of perishable commodities is one of the more important voca-
tions in the United States. The efficient handling and distribution of these
products is therefore of real importance and interest to the producer, the whole-
saler and retailer, and the ultimate consumer. To market fruits, vegetables,
and other perishable foods efficiently the retailer must have a fundamental
knowledge of the products handled as well as a background of modern trends
in merchandising and consumer demands.

The specific aims of this two year course in food merchandising are, therefore:
(1) to present to the student specific information pertaining to perishable com-
modities as to their production, structure, and quality; (2) to evaluate their
nutritive properties and to consider how they may be used best as food; (3) to
develop an understanding of the theory and practices involved in bujdng and
selling perishable products by lecture, laboratory and field practice.

The purpose of this course is to prepare individuals to enter the food mar-
keting field with a background of fundamental information so that they may be
better prepared to develop counter sales of perishable products intelligently
and to advance in this field to positions as buyers, operators and organizers

and thereby assist in the more effective movement of perishable foods from
the producer to the consumer.

The course of study will involve a program of work chiefly in the departments
of Vegetable Gardening and Fruit Growing, including classroom discussions and
laboratory demonstrations, as well as field practice in stores and markets. Six
months, April to September inclusive, of placement training in some recognized
retail store will be required of every student between the first and second year.

Instruction in certain courses listed will be supported by discussions and
demonstrations by successful specialists in the trade in order to make the mate-
rial presented as practical and apphcable as possible. This course has been
approved and is sponsored by retail and wholesale food organizations.

It has been found necessary to limit the size of the entering class to not more
than ten students because college laboratory facilities and teaching personnel
cannot be increased at this time to accommodate a greater number.

ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE

The constantly increasing interest in development of grounds, both public and
private, for use and enjoyment, has created a demand for men trained to handle
the varied problems in the construction and maintenance of these grounds. The
course in Ornamental Horticulture aims to make the student famihar with these
various problems.

Men who have taken this course are to be found in such different fields as
foremen in nurseries, or proprietors of nurseries which they themselves have built
up; superintendents on private estates, cemeteries, parks, and various public
and private institution grounds; foremen for landscape construction firms, and
some have developed their own business in landscape construction and grounds
maintenance service.

With the whole campus as a laboratory, the student every day finds problems
about him comparable to those he will meet when he goes out to work. The
broad lawns, the walks and drives, the gardens, the greenhouses, the orchards,
the vegetable plots, as well as the farms, supply all the various phases of work
which will be encountered on estates, in parks, or in institution grounds. As
far as practicable the student is given the opportunity to determine what these
problems are and to solve them himself under expert supervision.

On the campus is to be found a large and excellent collection of mature trees,
shrubs, and vines. From these plants the student is able to build up a back-
ground of plant knowledge; in identification; in propagation which is carried on
in a special greenhouse for the purpose; in the handhng of plants in various
stages of their growth, in the nursery and on the campus; and in their ultimate
care, pruning and protection against injuries of all kinds. Construction of roads,
walks, drainage and other problems involving the moving of earth are especially
valuable to those looking forward to landscape construction.

The courses in forestry are designed to give practical instruction in the ele-
ments of forest care and management with special reference to the problems that
will be faced by one who is given the responsibility of managing farm or estate
woodland. The necessary phases of forest measurement, silviculture and forest
protection are included. Field work, carried out on the college forest of 755 acres
at Mt. Toby, takes the form of demonstrations and practical field problems in
forest care and management. Students in these courses work to a considerable
extent under actual field conditions.

teria upon various substances and the methods by which disease producing
bacteria of man and animals are disseminated will be studied. The proper use
of disinfectants, vaccines and serums in the control and treatment of disease
will be discussed. The purpose of the course is to present the problems of
applied bacteriology in health, agriculture and industry. The sanitarj^ produc-
tion, handling and distribution of milk involving human and environmental
contacts with a food often consumed raw is an important problem to be con-
trolled by responsible citizens of the community. Discussions on milk include
the various sources of milk infections, methods of controlling sanitary produc-
tion and marketing and the detection and elimination of milk dangerous to the
public health. Water supphes are of especial importance to man. The con-
struction of wells, cisterns, etc., will be briefly considered and the apphcation
of sanitary measures to prevent and control their pollution will be discussed.
The proper treatment and disposal of private and municipal sewage presents
a problem of no small importance. Work has been planned in this course to
present some of the problems pertaining to the sanitary production and dis-
tribution of foods.

dust and dirt while milking and they adhere to the dairy utensils which carry
them over from one milking to the next. From the cow to the consumer there
is the constant presence of these micro-organisms to contend with, on the one
hand, and to foster on the other.

Many of these changes occurring in milk are undesirable, such as ropy milk,
sour milk, bitter milk, tainted milk, etc. Many of these changes are encouraged
as the ripening of cream for butter, of milk for cheese, of milk for milk drinks.
The former are fought, the latter fostered.

Micro-organisms of typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria and other diseases
find their way by means of milk to the consumer and produce epidemic forms
of these diseases.

Various bacteriological tests for the estimation of the numbers and types of
organisms in milk are studied. Special attention is given to the interpretation
of results indicated by the standard plate. Breed, methylene blue, and Burri
methods of testing milk quality. Laboratory procedures for the determination
of special groups of bacteria not normally found in milk, such as fecal con-
taminants and heat resistant organisms, are discussed. The proper use of these
methods will quickly enable one to locate the source of trouble and check any
further continuance.

It is evident, therefore, that to handle milk and milk products safely it is
desirable to know something of the agents which are the source of so much
attention in the dairy. This indicates the nature of the substance of this course.
This course is required of all students who elect dairying as one of their special
lines of work.

Farm Practice.

Individual tests are given all students as indicated in the various course pro-
grams in both milking and harnessing and teaming. The students are graded
either very good, good, satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Those who have not had
sufficient experience to satisfactorily pass these tests are required to take ad-
ditional practice by appointment with the Farm Superintendent or his assistant.
Not more than two students are scheduled each day for practice in milking under
the supervision of the herdsman, and those not satisfactorily passing the teaming
test are scheduled for individual work with the teamsters on the College Farm.
Those who pass the test as satisfactory, but who wish additional practice may
do so by appointment. The opportunity is available for any who wish to secure
additional skill in farm operations such as plowing, harrowing, etc.

This assignment in developing necessary farm skills is an important part of
the vocational training program of each course during the fall semester of the
first year and a complete report on each student's skill and abiHty is submitted
to the Short Course Office and to the Director of Placement Service, who has

SHORT COURSES AT MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLLEGE

Short courses are based on the idea that the motive which inspires study \s
the most significant factor in study itself, and that this motive rises when the
student himself realizes he faces a problem that calls for a solution. There-
fore there is no age limit. Enrolled in short courses are found the young and
the old, the experienced and the inexperienced, the theoretical and the practical.
In this grouping there is a value, since students learn from each other as well
as from the instructors. Practically all Short Course students intend to make
a direct application of the knowledge given. Hence the aim of Short Course
work is to offer the largest amount of information and training in agricultural
and horticultural lines in the shortest possible time. During the past twenty
years Short Courses have served hundreds of students in this Commonwealth,
and the demand for these courses in recent years has steadily continued.

Description of Courses

W-\. Poultry Judging. — A study of the characters effected by egg production and
those that limit egg production in the individual . Trapnested birds with known records
are constantly used to check the student's judgment in estimating production. This
knowledge has direct applicability in the constant elimination of non-producers from
the flock, and the selection of outstanding breeders.

PF-3. Poultry Breeding.- — The course combines in class and laboratory genetic
theory and breeding applications. The various methods of selection are studied. The
vital data about each breeder is recorded and studied in an up-to-date system of pedigree
record keeping.

PF-4. Poultry Feeds and Feeding. — This course embraces a study of the fundamental
principles of nutrition, and their application to the problems of feeding the poultry
flock — the most expensive item in the grower's budget. Feeding the growing stock,
the laying flock, and fattening are all included.

W-5. Incubation. — A study of incubation principles and practices is made in con-
junction with the incubators in the well-equipped cellar at the College plant.

W-6. Poultry Housing. — A careful study is made of the various physical and bio-
logical factors which are involved in keeping houses comfortable, drj^ and hygienic.
The several types of houses on the College plant furnish good practice and study ma-
terial.

W-1 . Poultry Farm Management. — The modern trends of commercial poultry farm
organization are studied by the survey method. Each student will prepare detailed
plans for a farm he now owns or might hope to develop in the future. These plans
will emphasize and correlate the work in breeding, incubation, brooding, growing, mar-
ket egg and meat production, marketing and accounting.

W-?>. Brooding. — Brooding, as one of the most important phases of the poultry
industry, is taught with the aid of modern equipment such as coal burning and electric
brooders, and several kinds of battery brooders.

W'9. Disease Prevention. — Embraced in this course are studies of normal and
pathological anatomy; sanitary programs of disease control; and the use of disinfec-
tants, vermifuges and remedies of known efficacy.

This course is so organized that a student may take any term or combination of
terms that he wishes, completing the course in succeeding years if it is found necessary.

(Methods for Testing Milk)
January 5 to January 17, 1942

General Information

Each year numerous requests are received by this department for individual in-
struction in modern bacteriological methods for testing milk. The majority of these
requests are due to th^ interest of the modern dairy man in the quality of his product,
as expressed by results of chemical and bacteriological examinations and a desire to
more accurately control production on the farm and in the dairy plant. A two weeks'
course on modern testing methods has been designed to meet the need of the dairy
man who wishes to provide a means of making these bacteriological tests in his own
plant laboratory.

Admission and Registration

Tuition, Fees and Expenses

There is a tuition fee of two dollars and each student is required to pay the Treas-
urer a registration fee of two dollars per course.

Description of the Course

Five afternoons each week will be devoted to laboratory discussions, demonstra-
tions and manipulation of the Breed and Brew, Resazurin, Burri and Standard Plate
Methods of examining milk. Each student will be given ample opportunity to perform
these tests on numerous milk samples. Instruction will also be given in the correct use
and care of the compound microscope.

Mornings may be spent in the department or college library where there are avail-
able numerous books and pamphlets on dairy bacteriology and the relationship of milk

FINAL EXAMINATIONS.

For the degree of master of science, or master of landscape architec-
ture, a final examination in the major subject, which may be written or
oral, or both, is given by the department concerned.

ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES.

A charge of $50 per semester, payable in advance, which covers tuition,
laboratory and student health fees, is imposed on students who are resi-
dents of Massachusetts. For residents of other states or foreign coun-
tries, this charge is $110 per semester. In cases where students carry
less than a full schedule of courses, a special tuition rate is provided. For
purposes of definition, all students claiming residence in the State shall
at time of admission provide the treasurer's oflSce with an official state-
ment from their town or city clerk as evidence. Also, the student must
present evidence of successful vaccination.

TEACHING FELLOWS
Through a fund set aside for that purpose, the College offers a number
of teaching fellowships. The value of these is limited to $600 per year,
and appointment is made for a one-year period. These appointments are
especially suited to students who desire to gain teaching experience and
make themselves at least partly self-supporting while continuing their
education. It should be recognized, however, that, in cases where stu-
dents render this part-time service, in return for the financial assistance
extended, the residence time requirements for the degree in question
are necassarily longer. Application for appointment to these fellowships
should be made to the director of the Graduate School or to the Head
of the Department in which the candidate's major interest lies.

i RESEARCH FELLOWS

The Agricultural Experiment Station in its progrem of investigation
frequently finds it desirable to utilize the services of graduate students
qualified to do certain types of technical work required in connection with
its several research projects. Funds are available for this purpose and
qualified students may be elected to such fellowships. Not infrequently
this arrangement affords an opportunity for the student to satisfy his
thesis requirement by completing some unit of work within a larger
project organized in the research program of the Experiment Station.

In recent years industrial concerns have been rather anxious to have
certain investigations undertaken for them by the Experiment Station,
For this service they are willing to lend financial support, and in deserv-
ing cases it has proven very desirable to accept and utilize these funds for
fellowship purposes. At present several fellowships are supported on this

basis. These are proving very satisfactory from the standpoint both of
the student and the industry supporting the investigation.

GRADUATE COURSES DURING THE SUMMER.
The College offers opportunities to pursue graduate courses during the-
summer in connection with the Summer School. While provision mayi
be made for special study with several departments during the sum-
mer period, the scheduled courses are offered primarily for teachers who:
seek advanced work in education and closely related subjects for purposes;
of better preparing themselves for more effective service in the teaching
profession. Details regarding courses offered, facilities for study, en-
vironment, etc., may be found in the Summer School catalogue, a copy of:
which is available upon request to the director of Short Courses.
