EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
STATE UNIVERSITY-IOWA CITY
Walter Albert Jessup, Ph. D., President.
The State University of Iowa is an integral part of the public school system of the state. As contemplated in its establishment, the work of the university is based upon the preparation afforded by the duly accredited high schools of the state, whose students are admitted to the undergraduate and professional courses upon the presentation of the proper certificates-except in the colleges of medicine and law, which require two years of collegiate work in preparation. The state, through the university, undertakes to furnish instruction in the various branches requisite for an education in the liberal arts, law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, fine arts, nursing, commerce, engin- eering, etc. It also aims to encourage research work in all departments.
The university embraces the following colleges and schools: The Gradu- ate College; the College of Liberal Arts; the College of Law; the College of Medicine; the College of Homeopathic Medicine; the College of Dentistry; the College of Pharmacy; the College of Applied Science; the College of Educa- tion; the School of Commerce; the Schools for Nurses (Medical and Home- , opathic Medical) ; the School of Music.
Integral parts of the institution are also: The summer session, including the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Okoboji, the School for Library Training.
The Graduate College unites the university's equipment for advanced study and research, its courses beginning where the courses in the other colleges end. It offers work leading to the degrees of M. A., M. S., and Ph. D.
Th College of Liberal Arts is the center around which the university has grown. It offers upwards of three hundred liberal and vocational courses in the arts and sciences, these courses leading to the degree of B. A., and B. S., the latter only in connection with combined courses in liberal arts and pro- fessional studies (see below).
The College of Law offers a course of three years leading to the degree of LL. B. For admission two years of study in a liberal arts college are required.
The College of Medicine offers a course of four years leading to the degree of M. D. The college is recognized by the American Medical Association in "Class A." Two years of liberal arts study are required for admission.
The College of Homeopathic Medicine offers a course of four years, leading to the degree of M. D. Its departments of surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, etc., materia medica, and theory and practice of medicine have been established by statute. Its other departments (anatomy, physiology, bac- teriology, etc.,) are shared with the College of Medicine.
The College of Dentistry offers a course of four years leading to the degree of D. D. S. The college is one of the six leading dental colleges in the country which meet the standards of the Dental Faculties Association of American Universities.
The College of Pharmacy offers a two years' course leading to the degree of Ph. G., and a three years' course leading to the degree of Ph. C.
The College of Applied Science offers courses in civil, sanitary, mechan- ical, electrical and general engineering, and in chemistry. These are each of four years and lead to the degree of B. E. A five-year course is also arranged. Advanced degrees are given in C. E., M. E., etc.
The College of Education unites the various facilities of the university for the training of teachers, with special reference to administrative work and the higher positions. Its courses lead to the certificate of the College of Education.
The School of Commerce, established in September, 1914, is organized within the College of Liberal Arts and its course leads to the degree of B. S. in Commerce.

IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS- AMES
Raymond Allen Pearson, D. of Agr., LL. D., President.
The college is governed by the state board of education consisting of nine members appointed by the governor. The work of the college is conducted along the following five major lines:
Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, Industrial Science, Veterinary Medicine.
Graduate and Undergraduate Courses.
In each of these five major lines stated above, collegiate and graduate instruction is given, leading to Bachelor's, Master's and Doctor's degrees.
Graduate instruction is adapted to the needed requirements of candidates for different degrees. Undergraduate or collegiate instruction is given in four-year, five-year and six-year courses offered in the different divisions of the college, and jointly between divisions. Graduate and undergraduate courses are fully described in the college catalog, and include courses in agricultural education, agricultural engineering, animal husbandry, ceramics, chemical engineering, dairying, electrical engineering, farm crops and soils, farm management, forestry, home economics, horticulture, industrial science, mechanical engineering, mining engineering, structure design, and veterinary medicine.
Non-Collegiate Course.
These courses are offered especially for young men and women who have not completed the requirements for admission to collegiate courses. They in- clude two year courses in Agriculture, vocational work in Engineering, Home Economics, Rural Structure Design, and one year courses in Dairying, Bee- keeping and Livestock Management.
Summer Session.
The summer session is divided into two six weeks periods in which some courses especially adapted to public school teachers are offered, including work in Agriculture, Home Economics, Manual Training, Industrial Science, and Vocational Education, work for rural and grade teachers. Special at- tention is given to collegiate and graduate courses.
Winter Short Courses.
These are given at different times on different subjects with one special week known as Short Course or Convention Week.
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Charles Franklin Curtiss, B. Sc., D. S., Director, Ames.
The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station was established in accordance with an act of congress, approved March 2, 1887, for the purpose of aiding "In acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and

practical information on subjects connected with agriculture, and to promote scientific investigation and experiments respecting the principles and applica- tion of agricultural science."
The work of the Agricultural Experiment Station now includes the fol- lowing lines of investigation: Farm crops and soils, farm management, animal husbandry, horticulture and forestry, agricultural engineering, botany, dairy- ing, entomology, chemistry, bacteriology, rural sociology, and agricultural economics. The results of investigations and experiments along these lines are published in bulletins and circulars which are distributed free to all resi. dents of the state who apply for them.
The work in the Agricultural Experiment Station is of direct service to the agricultural interests in the state and nation. The results of experiment station investigations serve as the basis for agricultural instruction from the standpoint of both the college and extension work. It is now universally recognized that little progress can be made by agricultural colleges, either in teaching their students or in carrying information directly to farmers, until definite data has been secured concerning the scientific and practical prob- lems which constitute the basis of our present day agriculture.
Engineering Experiment Station. Including Good Roads Experimentation.
Anson Marston, C. E., Director, Ames.
The Engineering Experiment Station was established at the Iowa State College by the legislature of Iowa in 1904 to afford a service, through scien- tific investigations, evolution of new devices and methods, educational in- formation on technical subjects and tests and analysis of materials; for the manufacturing and other engineering population and industries of Iowa; for the agricultural industries of the state in the solution of their engineering problems; for the urban and rural population of the state in the solution of the engineering problems of urban and rural life.
From the first the station has carried on original investigations along lines of vital interest to the people of Iowa, including drainage, sewerage and sewerage disposal, water supply, roads and road traffic, pavements, bridges, clay products, concrete materials and other materials of construction, lighting, steam and electric power, engineering economics and others. The results have been published in more than fifty bulletins for free distribution. Any of these bulletins not out of print will be sent free upon request addressed to Director Anson Marston, Engineering Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa.
The station has given special attention to water supply, sewerage and lighting for farm homes.
For many years the station has made tests and analysis of construction and other materials for state departments, counties, townships, cities, fac- tories, corporations and individual citizens of Iowa. The charges for such tests are at least equal to those charged by responsible commercial testing laboratories, as the station will not assume the role of competitor with con- mercial laboratories. The station stands ready to make check tests or to act as final authority on questions of this nature, but would prefer that all routine tests be made by outside laboratories. The amount and character of the testing work is so restricted as not to interfere seriously with the in- vestigational work.
Veterinary Investigations.
C. H. Stange, Dean.
This work was organized under provisions made by the thirty-fifth gen- eral assembly. Considerable information concerning hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle has been secured, a serum produced and a number of herds treated. Other diseases have been studied and much time has been given to hog cholera and complications of this disease.

Extension Work.
R. A. Pearson, President.
The extension work of the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mech- anic Arts is divided into two branches-agriculture extension and engineer- ing extension.
Agricultural Extension.
R. K. Bliss, Director.
The agricultural extension work was established permanently by enact- ment of the thirty-first general assembly of Iowa. This act provided for giv- ing lectures and demonstrations on the growing of crops and fruits, on stock raising, dairying, land drainage and kindred subjects, including domestic science. Specific mention was made in this act on instruction in corn and stock judging at the agricultural fairs, institutes and clubs and aid in con- ducting short courses of instruction at suitable places throughout the state.
Engineering Extension.
D. C. Faber, Acting Director.
The thirty-fifth general assembly of Iowa provided an appropriation for the establishment of engineering extension and trade school work. Two-year courses in trades and industry are conducted at the college for young men wishing to prepare themselves for expert positions in industrial lines. Short courses of instruction and technical institutes are conducted in industrial cen- ters. Technical information is supplied municipalities and civic organizations. Bulletins of information are issued from time to tme.
Hog Cholera Serum Plant.
C. H. Stange, Drector.
This work was started under an appropriation of $35,000 made by the thirty-fifth general assembly for the production of biological products, espec- ially hog cholera serum. The plant is self-supporting. Permanent buildings have been erected. Up to December 31, 1918, 25,730,357 cubic centimeters of serum had been produced. This serum was used in treating 10,091 herds.
State Apiarist.
Appointed by the State Board of Education. Term at pleasure of Board. Appropriation $1,500 annually.
F. Erick Millen, of Ames, Story County.
It is the duty of the apairist to give lectures and demonstrations in the state of Iowa on the production of honey, the care of the apiary, the market- ing of honey, and upon other kindred subjects relative to the care of bees and the profitable production of honey. Also, upon request the apiarist shall examine the bees in a locality suspected of being affected with any of the contagious diseases common to bees. It is the duty of the apiarist to furnish the owner of the bees, without cost, written instructions in regard to the nature of the disease and the best methods of treating it. It is a misdemeanor of anyone to fail to properly take care of a colony of diseased bees or in other ways cause the spread of contagious diseases among bees.
IOWA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE-CEDAR FALLS.
President-Homer H. Seerley, M. A., LL. D.
This institution was founded in 1876 as a school for the instruction and training of teachers for the public schools. It used the title of Iowa State Normal School from 1876 to 1909 and since that time the title Iowa State Teachers College, authorized by an act of the general assembly. It is a col- lege in its standards as to graduating with a degree from its courses, though it admits and instructs teachers and grants diplomas of special varieties for all classes of teachers, rural and elementary, needed by the public schools. For admission to college courses, graduation from an accredited high school is required. For admission to sub-collegiate courses and rural teachers work an elementary education is required.
113
EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

Its courses are to give efficiency and capability to the students as workers in public schools. Its field of service grants preparation to high school teachers, to elementary and primary teachers, and to all kinds of special teachers now demanded by the public schools of the state. Its plan is that of a vocational school and everything that is done has a bearing upon the training of young men and women for service in the system of public education maintained in the state. Its degree graduates are admitted without conditions to the graduate schools of the universities and its alumni hold important positions in public service in every state where they are employed. Its diplomas are Bachelor of Arts in Education, Special Teacher Diplomas such as Primary, Junior College, Kindergarten, Art, Public School Music, Manual Arts, Home Econom- ics, Physical Education, Commercial, Rural Education, Rural Teacher and Normal Course.
