We offer you the facilities of the institution for further study, research, and personal development. The College is well equipped with a total inventory of over $15,000,000. Ther e are 2, 500 acres of land at East Lansing alone. The educational staff comprises 440 persons ; there are 167 engaged in research and 194 the exclusion of duplicates. Enrollment of regular students is approximat ely 7,000. totaling 684 with in extension, Being a technological institution, Michigan State offers a great variety of studies of an unusual and utilitarian type. The policy is to prepare young people for practical achieve ment and successful leadership in life's activities. The world more than ever before is in need of men and women trained to recognize high standards in physical develop ment, education, religion, and morality, all under a divine guidance.-ROBERT S. SHAW, Presiden t. ROBERT S. SHAW PRESIDENT SHAW will retire July 1, 1941, as president of Michigan State College, to be s ucceeded by John A. Hannah, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, College governing board. A member of the faculty for 39 years and president for 13 years, President Shaw has served as administrative head of Michigan State College during the period of its greatest expansion and progress. Enrollment since May, 1928, when he took office, has nearly trebled. Mr. Hannah, an alumnus of Michigan State College, has been a member of the College staff since his graduation in 1923. From 1923 through 1933, he was an agricultural extension In 1933, he was called by specialist in Poultry Husbandry. the United States government to become Federal Coordinator of Poultry Codes under the NRA and Agricultural Adjustment Administration. He returned as secretary of the College and secretary of the State Board of Agriculture on January 1, 1935, and has served in that capacity for six and one-half years . JOHN A .

New students meet first by divisions, then each of . the 100 faculty advisers assigned to Freshmen meets with his group of approximately 25 advisees. The first-term schedule of classes is arranged, physical education and other tests are taken, and registration is completed. A social program during Freshman Week helps to make the new student feel at home, and new friendships are formed whic h last throughout the years. DURING Freshman Week, and throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years, each student is under direct supervision of a memb er of the faculty. Nearl y 200 faculty members assist with the Advisory Program. During his last two years, the student receives the personal attention of the head of the department in whic h he majors. In this way, he is encouraged to make fullest and best use of his t ime. Personal contact with members of the facuity, from Freshman Week unti l graduation, is a potent influence in the student's life. : • Senior students confer with Fred T .

Although necessary expenses are kept to a minimum, the prospective student is urged to prepare a budget and arrange to ineet expenses of the first term, preferably of the first year, before coming to East Lansing. The College, of course, cannot guarantee employment to all who apply for it, although the offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women place some students in part-time jobs. THE Federal Government, through its National Youth Administration program, for several years, has provided funds for the College to employ a few hundred students each term. This program may be continued in the 1941-42 school year. Students desiring to apply for NYA assistance may write to Glen O. Stewart, Alumni Secretary and Director of NYA Work, Michigan State College, East Lansing, Michigan. Throughout student activities at Michigan State College, a democratic atmos phere prevails, and the student with limited funds finds himself at no social disadvantage. In its student relationships and in its classrooms, Michigan State deserves its reputation as a "friendly college." • Agricultural Hall (opposite page) IS one of State's ' most imposing buildings. MEN students who enter Michigan State College in the fall term, 1941, a re encouraged to live in one of two modern residence halls provided by th e College and operated under the supervision of the Dean of Men.

THE DIVISION Science offers of Veterinary two courses, the Veterinary Course leading to the degree Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and the Medical Biology Course leading to the degree Bachelor of Science in Medical Biology. Departments, both within and without t he Division, are well equipped to give full instruction in the phases of science that deal directly with the training of a veterinarian, and in related subjects. The four-year Veterinary curriculum is open to a student only after he has WARD GILTNER Dean of Veterinary Science completed one year of college work. In addition to considering diseases of domesticated animals, the student is familiarized with diseases of pet stock and of fur-bearing animals in captivity. Special attention is given problems arising from the modern industry of fox farms and other establishments devoted to care of fur-bearing animals. Graduates of this course are eligible to take the competitive examinations for inspection work in the Bureau of Animal Industry, U . S. Department of Agri culture; for the U. S. Army Veterinary Service; and for state and municipal veterinary control work. Equipment of the Division of Veterinary Science includes laboratories in the new Veterinary Hospital, as well as laboratories, offices, and classrooms in other buildings. THIS course is designed to prepare men and women for positions in hospital laboratories, physicians' and surgeons' clinics, and in Federal, state, and municipal health laboratories. A four-year course, it also fits the especially adapted student for either commercial or research laboratory work . • Laboratory scenes (opposite page) in the Division of Veterinary Science, show the up-to-date small animal clinics housed in the Division's new Veterinary Hospital (lower left).
