elements must be considered. The
University of Missouri has attended
to them in no half hearted way. 1t
was by so doing that the great insti-
tuition was built up. But what has
il to offer the student?
Almost whatever line of work you
wish TO take up, you may get your
needs in education supplied at the

of many years ago.
Around the quadrangle are the
main buildings of all the divisions
except that of the College of Agricul-
ture. Academic Hall is the home Of
the students in Arts and Science. 1t
is building of four floors surmount-
ed by tall dome out of the sight of
which the students say it is impos-
sible to get while in the vicinity of
Columbia. In this building recita
tions are heard and lectures given in
different subjects leading to the A.
b. degree. The home of the School
of Education and the Graduate
School are also in Academic Hall.
The School of Education maintains
two schools-a preparatory school
and an elementary school-as labor
atories for students in Education.
Academic Hall is at the south of
the campus; near it on the west side
is the building that turns out as its
product civil, electrical, mechanical
and chemical engineers. 1t is
building of machinery, of steam
engines and of electrical apparatus

The Journalists have a building
where the patter of typewriters sound

news stories" and advertising copy
for the daily newspaper which is
their laboratory production.
The Law Building is the place
where law students not only attend
classes; it is where they get together
in friendly discussion. 1t contains
the law library with It's $1,000
sheepskin bound volumes. 1t, too, is
the home of the practice court in
which practice is given in the actual
preparation of cases.
In connection with the College of
Arts and Science there are separate
buildings for Chemistry and for Geol-
ogy and Zoology.
The College of Agriculture has a
small town of buildings. There are
classroom buildings and laboratory
buildings, buildings for veterinary
science, horticultre. hog cholera

with practice. One of the most val
