the persent enrolment is close to the
1000 mark.
The college functions as an lnstl.
tuition of higher learning. MANY OF
its graduates. in fact most of tiem,"
saws Dean w. C. Coffev, "have en-
tered professions related to agrlcn.-
ture rather than having engaged dl-
rectly in farming. They are teach
ing agriculture and home economies
in AGRICULTURAL colleges and high
schools; they are employed as extern
sion SPECIALISTS. as county agents and
and as research workers in expert
ment stations. A fair percentage OF
our home economics graduates have
become homemakers. and because Of
their home economics training they
can be both efficient homemakers
and effective citizens. for their skill
in managing the affairs of the home
gives them time to devote to affairs
connected with citizenship.
