 tigation are planned for graduate students, or for undergraduate students

Classes in designing, sewing, and millinery are to be organized during 

 the coming year. 



In addition to the above required subjects, students may elect courses 

 in the College of Arts and Sciences or in the College of Agriculture accord- 

 ing to the work that they intend to do in the future. Special courses are 

 being introduced for home economics students in home-dairying, poultry 

 husbandry, and horticulture. A proper choice of electives makes the 

 course both technical and cultural. For example, a student especially 

 interested in teaching might elect courses in education; another student 

 might prefer to elect more English ; still another might wish to emphasize 

 her work in agriculture.
