Sugar beet chemistry 



In the sprino' term of tlie year 11)05 a new study, "animal nutrition,"' 

 was introduced and as it was elected by both the junior and senior 

 agricultural students and given to the two classes together it was 

 omitted during the s})ring term of lOOG. Tnsti-uction in the chemistry 

 of sugar beet manufacture was given by special request to three stu- 

 dents in the regular college course who desired the exjierience of a sugar 

 cam])aign. These three men later have entered the service as sugar 

 factory chemists in Michigan and New York. 



The work of the college in this department has been carried on dur- 

 ing the past year with a fair degree of success, but with a considerable 

 amount of unnecessary labor on account of the limited space afforded by 

 the laboratory building. 



As you well know this department has never had for its object the 

 training of chemists, nevei-theless during the years since the founding 

 of the college many of our students have found that chemistry was a 

 science for which they had si)ecial liking and adaptibility and have en- 

 tered the profession and done themselves and the college honor in this 

 line of work. Since the oi)ening of the college regular graduates have held 

 the ])rofessorship of agricultural chemistry and chemistry in the state 

 institutions of the folh)wing: Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Colo- 

 rado, iowa, Kansas, Michiganr .Mississi})pi, Okhihoma and Wisconsin. 

 Aside from these thei-e are and lia\"e been chemists and assistant chem- 

 ists in exj)eriment station work in the following states: Michigan, 

 Minnesota, New York, Khode Island, lMiili])pine Islands and the bureau 

 of chemistry, l>e]»artment of Agriculture at Washington. 



In addition to these a number of graduates ha\e engaged in technical 

 chemistry and industrial chemical worJv and also the work of food in- 

 si)ection both in state and Ihiited States laboratories. 



Many students who did not complete the entire course have also en- 

 gaged in chemical work. 



The sj)ecial course offered in beet sugar manufacture fitted a good 

 many young men for this line of work which they haxc since ])ursued.
