"And the old order changeth . . .

Dr. Dale H. Sieiing, Dean of the College of Agriculture 



When the Board of Trustees of the Uni- 

 versity announced in June that the School 

 of Agricuhure and Horticuhure would 

 henceforth be known as the College of 

 Agriculture, the efforts of Dean Sieiing to 

 strengthen the position of the college in 

 the expanding university orbit were finally 

 realized. This change was a high point in 

 a long-range reorganization plan envi- 

 sioned by the dean. 



The thirteen departments of the college 

 are built around a tri-level structure: a 



four-year course leading to the degree of 

 Bachelor of Science, a two-year vocational 

 course in the Stockbridge School of Agri- 

 culture, and graduate studies. Within this 

 framework are placed the Experiment Sta- 

 tion, which is the research branch, the Con- 

 trol or Regulatory Service, and the Coop- 

 erative Extension Service, an agency spe- 

 cializing in agricultural, home economics, 

 and vouth education.

Dr. Denzel J. Hankinson, former head of 

 the Department of Dairy Industry, has been 

 named head of a newly-formed Department 

 of Dairy and Animal Science, the result of 

 a merger between the Department of Dairy 

 Industry and the Department of Animal 

 Husbandry. 



The Department of Agricultural Engi- 

 neering, formerly part of the School of 

 Engineering, has now been incorporated 

 within the new College. 



The birth of a new Department of Ag- 

 ricultural Communications has brought ex- 

 tension communications personnel and the 

 experiment station editor under one roof 

 in Munson Hall. Mr. Gilbert E. Mottla, 

 newly-apiiointed department head, has 

 been charged with the challenging task of 

 coordinating all phases of communications 

 activities in the College of Agriculture.
