growth.
The object of this college is to take a high
school graduate who has determined upon what
he desires to make his life work and train him so
that he can go out equipped to make success of
it, Considering the object of the Agricultural
division, large variety of courses are offered
so as to allow one to receive training along the
line for which he is best suited He may special
ize along Agromony lines, as soils and field crops
along dairy lines Animal Husbandry or Horti-
cultural lines, and in this way receive the train
ing for which he is best suited.
The Engineering Division also gives it's sew
cral branches. Mining, Mechanical, Electrical
and highway engineering all being taught as
well as Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Since these courses are now no longer duplicated
by the University of Oregon, they are stronger
than ever before. o. A. G. graduates have al
ways been i'm demand because of their practical
training
Turning to the Forestry Division we find it
one of the strongest in our entire country, for
but few miles separates the student from his
field of operation. This is a distinct advantage
This course offers one of the most healthfu and
profitable futures to its students
The Commercial Division is another one of the
important features. This school strives to turn
ont students prepared to enter the business
world in responsible positions and to be able to
work their way to the top. 1t is not merely
business college training to fit the student to
become stenographer or bookeeper, but to
train persons capable to do this as well as handle
the other lines of business.
The Pharmacy Division is another one of the
,ylnNV az ttp la
as though this school was out of place, but be-
cause of the splendid chemical laboratories at
the College, it fits in well. We find the grad
yates of this school in the drug stores in every
part of the State.
One of the divisions about which least need be
said because it is so well known is the Home
Economics Division This school has been rO-
tating the young women in small groups at the
San Francisco Fair, where they have been run
ming lunch room in the Oregon Building. This
act has so proved the worth of this school that it
woman would make mistake by enrolling in
will need no further advertising No young
this school
The aim of o. A. c. is To turn out broad well
balanced graduates, capable of not alone doing
their work, but capable of assuming their dut-
les in every walk of life. Some persons object
because students are compelled to study some
subjects which they will not use in their business
studies which might be called balancing studies,
but the present policy of the school is to tuln ont
graduates that know how To live as well as work.
There are fourteen large buildings at o. A. G.
used for class rooms and laboratories. They are
well arranged on the large well kept campus,
the beauty of which never fails to bring forth
praise from every visitor, and make every stud
ent feel happy to be one of it's occupants.
The aim of every parent should be to send
their children through some college that is Civ
ing a course best suited the chld's needs. We
often hear persons say that it does no good to
send IA student to college, but when we run
through the list of prominent men who have won
enough honors to get their name III such publi-
cations as who's Who" and find that nearly
all are college graduates and then consider what
a small per cent of the population are college
graduates we must admit the worth of the train
ing
The Argus has been pleased with the quality
of the articles written on the colleges of the
