School of Agriculture Develop s Po stwar Program

By GLADYS L. HARRISON In the postwar period, agr icu lture will continue to be the most essential of all occup ations . The well trained young man or woman who has a preference for farming and farm life, or for any of the many industries or professions related to and dependent upon agriculture, will find un limited oppor tunities in these fields .

The School of Agriculture at Utah State offers a broad college training which has a direct bearing on farm practice and on all of the many business activities that are related to agriculture . Students who wish vocationa l training for a particular phase of agriculture such as dairying, poultry, or horticulture, students who are interested in obtaining a degree in any phase of agriculture, and students who are interested in graduate work will all find that adequate provision has been made in the Schoo l of Agriculture for their training.

Many men returning from the army will want short, intensive courses to prepare them for such businesses as dairying, truck farming, fruit farming, poultry production . These men may not be interested in obtaining a degree, they may merely want training to become efficient in a vocation .

Short courses in various fields have been outlined to meet the needs of these students .

Necess ity for Trai ning The farmer, as well as the bus iness or professional man of today, mu st be trained for his job. The complexity of modern farming demands a high degree of technical knowledge and skm for success. Most Utah farmers practice a diversified system of farming, including forage crops, grain, livestock, dairy, orchard, and poul try farming. The School of Agricu lture is prepared to give a well balanced course of study for genera l farming.

Knowledge is not only gained in the classroom and in the laboratory, but experience in farm practices is also obtained in the barns and in the fields .

Trained Agriculturalists in Demand Demands of the armed services and defense industries have seriously depleted the ranks of those in positions requiring technical training in agricu lture. Many high school vocational agriculture departments have been closed because of lack of teachers.

Others are filled by temporary appointees who lack the necessary training to keep the position after the emergency . Many other positions, such as county agent work, agricultura l inspection work, research in the experiment stations, United States Department of Agricu lture, and commercial and industrial firms dealing in agricultural products and supplies are open at the present time and offer opportunities for students with adequate training. The School of Agriculture is prepared to g ive training for the B.S. degree in Agricultural Economics, Agronomy and Soils, AniPage b

ma! Husbandry, Bacterio logy and Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Patho logy, Dairy Husbandry and Manufacturing, Horticulture, Poultry Husbandry, Vegetab le Crops, and Zoology and Entomology.

The field of graduate study has never held more possibilities than at present . The war has depleted the the schools of graduate students, and opportunities for fellowships and scholarships for graduate study at the larger universities are numerous for those students who have technical training or masters degrees. Opportunities for individuals with such training for positions in technical fields have never been better .

Bri g ht F utu re for Gra du ates The School of Agriculture offers graduate training toward the master's degree in all departments.

Opportunities for research work are especially

favorable because of the relation of the teaching to the research work in the Agricultura l Experiment Stat ion .

Most of the teachers spend part of their time in research . They not only bring the results of this research work to their classroom teaching, but gra duate students are permitted to work with project leaders in the development of the research program.

Expecting outstanding growth in enrollment in the School of Agriculture after the war, plans are being developed to strengthen and en large the various departments and to provide new land and buildings to take care of this expansion. Plans are being formulated to move the dairy barns and poultry yards to larger, more commodious quarters.

Designs are being d awn for a new dairy manufacturing plant . During the next few years many developments are in sight for the school.

Arts & Sciences Prepare for Leade rship Don't Depend on a "Hind Leg Education"

By DEA

Upon the adequate maintenance of the eleven departments of the School of Arts and Sciences rests the usefu lness of the Utah State Agricultura l College as a whole. The specialized workers in agriculture, home economics, forestry, business, education, and engineering will be successful in proportion to their basic train ing in chemistry, literature, mathemtics, bacterio logy, written and spoken Eng lis h, history, botany, biology, and public health. These departments are consequent ly staffed with the best teachers ava ilab le, all of whom either have their doctor's degree or are in process of getting it . The College administration has provided them, furthermore, with laboratories and equipment which, although not yet ideal, are pretty well up to standard and are growing in excellence all the time. It fo llows t hat the students that the various departments send into the specialized schools have sound and t horough foundation training for the app lied courses leading to their chosen vocations . This, in turn, means that our graduates and their families will not lack the material blessings of life.

Such an accomplishment is a great practical service rendered by the School of Arts and Sciences, especially commendable in view of the fact t hat nearly all of the student body share in this training.

The Schoo l of Arts and Sciences is proud to be so useful. Its departments are happy to be large ly service units.

They are, to use a football illustration, content to run interference for the other schools of the College, the graduates of which make the touchdowns in the commercial wor ld by filling all sorts of lucrative positions .

N. A. PEDERSEN

It means being a manufacturer of a fine human product . This partnership is a deep satisfaction to us al l.

To this achievement shou ld be added the findings of our research.

Space will not permit an adequate statement about the scholars engaged in it nor of the resu lts . Suffice it to say that they have been, and will continue to be, of incalcu lab le monetary value to the state.

Promotes Cult ura l Va lu es Such considerations are not, however, the only reason for self -congra-

tu lation that the teachers of th e art s and sciences advance . . There ar e byproducts of their work just as valu able as the main one a lready nam ed.

We often speak of a man' s per sonality . It wou ld be more correct to sp ea.k of his personalities.

Robert Loui s Stevenson made the point in "Dr .

Jeky ll and Mr . Hyde" that a hu~an being has two selves. _Bu~th e I~alia.n dramatist, Pirande llo, md1cate s m hi s plays that man is a compos it e of several personalities.

At any rate, . besides being a jobho lder , an Am en can , unlike a slave, is also a churchman , 2. statesman in a sma ll way, som ething of an artist, and a lawgiver in hi family, the members of whi ch ~r e ~s comp lex as he. Libera l education m the arts and sciences by deve lopin g the desirable personal traits, prepar es the student for these variou s privileges and duties, which may be th e best part of a good man's living, even better than earning power.

In the bread and butter, or br ead and nucoa , side of life the Arts and Sciences offer an inva luabl e servi ce, one not often fu lly appreciated. Th ey prepare men and women not only for a job but for jobs. Sometimes ~ person starts his career as an engm eer, then he becomes a food administrator to Europe's starving peop le in w~rtime ¡ later he is elected to the Whit e Hou;e , That, it will be rememb ered , h as happened in America and happ ens in lesser ways to most men of purpos e a ll the time. Men are promoted from one posit ion to another, if broadl y trained . Libera l education pr epar es for just such eventua lities.

Wilford D. Porter

In Remembrance of Wilford D. Porter W.W. Hen ders on After a short illness resulting from a heart ailment, Dr. William Williams Henderson, prominent and beloved teacher at the Utah State Agricultural College during twenty-one years, died October 31, 1944.

He was born at Clarkston, Cache County, Utah, May 23, 1879. When nine years of age his family moved to Robin, Idaho, ,vhere he grew up on a farm . A consuming interest in learning led him back to the Brigham Young College at Logan, where he o~tained a bache lor of arts degree m 1903. Following this he entered the University of Chicago and lat er transferred to Cornell University, where he was awarded a master of science de gree in 1905.

Dr. Henderson was appointed instructor in biology at the BYC, Logan, and served from 1905 to 1910. The following four years he was principal of W eber Academy in Ogden.

The Utah State Agricultura l College appointed Professor Henderson h ead of the department of zoology and entomology and entomolgist of th e Agricultura l Experiment Station. In 1920 he left the College to become president of BYC and served until that institution closed in 1926.

In 1924 Dr. W. W. Henderson was granted his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Ca lifornia and in 1926 he returned to his former position at the USAC . He served continuously at the College with the exception of 1928-29, during which year he was the first director of the L .D.S . Institute. This institu tion alway s held a strong place in his affections and he taught them his favorite subjects, "The Ten Commandments" and "The Sermon on the Mount" in alternate years each Sunda y until his health failed .

Dr . Henderson was a conscientious and capable leader. He helped organize the Genetics Seminar, Zoology Pag e 14

By Dr. N. A. Peder se n The A lumni Quarterly records here its respect for Professor Wilford D. Porter, who died on October 5, 1944, an event which saddened the College community as well as his many friends and acquaintances throughout the country . He left an unusual imprint upon the lif e of the campus as well as upon the College as a whol e in its larger relationship to the people of the state .

Professor Porter exemp lified Cardinal Newman's definition of a gentle man as being a man who never caused pain in his human contacts . He was too sensitive to do so, for he knew the meaning of suffering and he was imaginative enough to put him self in the other fellow's place. He was , consequently, a well beloved man, one wh o trod the pathway of peace and kindness and , more important still, open ed it to the feet of all others , young and old, who worked with him in class or in the wider service of extension .

Great was the force of his exam pl e.

It will long be at work in the world .

He was a joyous man. The wing ed word, the delectable anec dote, hum or and repartee bloom ed in the light loam of his disposition. In him th ere was no heaviness, no cla y to bog down the spirit . He was a generator of laughter whet her with one, two or a number of hi s friends . The deliberations of stockmen, farmers, service clubs were leavened by his effusions.

He was in constant demand; he never said no; he will be missed and remembered as the master raconteur .

The nucleus of his power was, howeve r , his gift as teacher . He began his career in high school to become lat er Professor of Journalism at the College as we ll as editor of College publications . . So successful was he

that at the time of his death he was nationa lly known in journalisti c circles and sought, not only by Washington bureaus, but also by one of the leading colleges of America. Cornell University was in process of engaging him as head of their School of Journalism and Publicity, an honor that came as a result of his reputation as teacher, his service on government bureaus, and his acknowledged leadership as president of the American Association of Agricultural College Editors.

So far his light has thrown its beams from Utah to the agricultural news centers ot.. the east. His students, lik ewise nave done almost famously well, some of them being in key positions in the newspaper wor ld.

In hi s short life Professor Porter had thus becom e known to his state, and even been claimed by the nation. He was, in fact , a credit to the College, to his as sociates, and to the great profession of teaching which he ennob led.

Remembering these things, we can readily understand that Wilford was the close adviser of his students . To him they brought not only their schola stic perplexities, but problems of their personal lif e, always sure of capable, considerate hearing. Nor are we surprised that when these same young people were torn from their bearing s and sent to foreign battlefields, they cont inu ed, through letters, to seek his counsel, some letters reaching the home after his death . In this friendly relationship, Mrs. Porter was a lways a tender participant as she was in the entire life of her husband.

In her bereavement t he Quarterly wishes her every comfort, human and divine.

Football Coach

E. L. "Dick" Romney

The Thanksgiving Day game at the University of Utah stadium ended in a defeat for the Aggie team. The boys were outclassed in every department of the game except for pure fight and determination. An off day on the part of some of the players was responsib le for two or three of the unearned touchdowns. The defeat of 47-0 was a moral victory for Coach Romney and the team in the light of the prospective players available when school opened.

The revival of football at Utah State was aided by the big pre-gam e rally and dance staged at the Newhouse Hotel on Wednesday evening, under the direction of the Salt Lake Alumni Chapter. The Aggie pep band under the direction of Professor N. W. Christensen and a girls double trio consisting of Betty Adney, Gay Nelson, Beth Swenson, Pat Daines, Lornell Hansen, and Coy Christensen, accompanied by Glenna Dean, furnished the entertainment.

Professor Harr y Reynolds was master of ceremonfas and introduced many prominent alumni from Salt Lake City during the evening. A. Russell Croft, Alumni Association president, spoke briefly to the group. Coach Dick Romney introduced the team to the assemb led Aggies and an informal dance completed the program.

Aiding Ariel C. Merrill with arrangements were Russell L. Humphreys , Kenneth E. Smith, Theodore E. Thain, Mrs. Allan M. West, Mrs. Mark Nichols , W . Adrian Wright, Leonard W. McDonald and Conrad Harrison .

Attendants of "Miss Utah State" for the parade were Kathie Woodruff, daughter of Colonel and Mrs . Charles W. Woodruff, Salt Lake City, and Audrey Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs . E. A. Taylor, Farmington, New Mexico.

HE growing body of alumni will be pleased to kn ow that every effort is bein g made by the fac ult y and t he administration of the College to prepare the institution for the period of increased activity which will fo llow the estab lishme nt of pea ce in Europe and thereafter in the Pacific t heatre. With this in mind, a building program of major proportions ha s been presented to the Board of Tru stees and the budg et req uests for maintenance, now in the hands of the Board, provide for fac ult y replacement and a general strengt henin g of the teaching and research force, in the ass uran ce that our immediate future is to be a very bu sy and important period.

The Biennial Report of the College to the Governor and the Legis latur e records the conclusion of the exte ns ive military training program of the past four ye ar s, during which over eleven thousand men and women ha ve bee n trained for military dut y, or defense activities.

During these bus y years, practically all the civi lian clas ses of the College ha ve been maintained.

Th e College faces the po stwar period in exce llent con dition to carr y it s shar e of the hea vier responsibility of ed ucation which the nation now faces in maintaining and strengthening our own economic system and raising the leve l of our cu ltur e. And if America is to assume its rightful pla ce in the new wor ld now ta kin g form, the demands upon us for leaders will be multip lied many fold. · College needs the supp ort of all its friends, and you alumni members rank first in the new and great future which is possible , but which wi ll not be attained wit hou t worthy achievements. to express my deep appreciation of the fine loya lty you have exten ded to me over the at home and on all the far-flung battl e fronts of t he world, my best wis hes for Christ for whic h we a ll pray .

HRISTMAS 1944 find s thousand of me n and women " from Logan " engaged in the fight for freedom on most of the world's battl efronts. Some ha ve already paid the supreme acrifi ce-a pri ce which ha s been ex acted much to o often si nce the dawn of history for freedom's sake .

To all of yo u on the world's battlefront s-for your co urageou s se rvice to friends, country, and to human ity-we at home bow our head s in humble gratitude.

But gratitud e is meaningless without our solemn pledge to work with all our might on the hom e front to insure early victory. Thi s every Aggi e man and woman will regard as a sacred duty.

Second only to winning the war i our obligation to win the peace . For centuries the flower of countless gen erations of men has been sacrificed to war brought on by an uninformed and apathetic public, idiotic dip lomacy and the greed of spec ial inter es ts . Thu s, anoth er task befor e us is to create the agencies within our own country, and through international coo perati on, that will result in maint enance of peace and security. This can on ly be accomplished through an alert and forceful expression of pub! ic op ini on now and after peace is established.

To this great task-the establishment of lasting pea ~e-e ach of us on the hom e front must work with the same purpose and ene rg y that ha characterized our fighting men and women. On ly when this is done can we contribute fully to the vic t ory , peace and security for which our men and women in th e armed forces are now sacrificing so much .

At this Christmastime all of us at hom e will fee l th e need for reaffirming our devot ion to these two great task s that lie before us-victo ry and lasting peace.

AM too far away to greet each one of you personall y, but I am thinking of you now because this is the month of Christmas.

I shall continue to think of you each da y throughout the coming ye ar and wish you happiness then as I do now. I ma y not find time to write, but it makes no differen ce . My thoughts and my wishes shall be for you just the same . In m y work I am your serv ant, and to serve yo u well each da y of t he coming ye ar is my h0p e. Whatever joy or success comes to you will al so make me glad and I shall tr y to pass that happine ss on to yo ur friends.

Ma y our combined effo rts bring to a war-weary world, "Pe ac e on ea rth and good will toward men." This is th e spirit of Christmas.
