MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE • COURSES OF STUDY • UNDERGRADUATE LIFE • HOUSING-FOR MEN • HOUSING-FOR WOMEN • ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Beside The Winding Cedar, 1943 MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE presents this booklet to interested high school graduates. It places before you a brief summary in words and pictures of some of the educational opportunities that are available to you at Michigan State College. As this is written we are engaged in the greatest war the world has ever known. Every young man and young woman has as an immediate objective to become fit for maximum service in the war effort, not losing sight of the long term objective - to prepare for useful, constructive lives in the peace that will follow this war. The President of the United States and many other national leaders have frequently and repeatedly urged young people to continue their formal educa tional training. The Nation must go on after the present war is won. Skilled hands and trained minds will be needed as never before. The most constant thing in life is change. Today is never quite like yester day. Tomorrow will differ from today. You, high school graduates, are entering a world vastly different from the world in which your parents have been living. The greatest contribution you can make to this Nation, to your family , and to yourself is to secure for yourself as much training as you can to fit yourself for the tasks ahead. The best place to obtain that training is in a technological college where a broad cultural base is emphasized, as at Michigan State College. More than 450 well-trained persons make up the teaching faculty, exclusive of the research and extension staffs, including some of the world's outstanding scholars and scientists. A few of the 70 buildings, representing an investment in excess of $15,000,000, are pictured in thi s booklet. The campus is generally considered to be one of the most beaufiful in America, with hundreds of varieties of trees and shrubs, extensive gardens and nurseries contributing to the enjoyment of all and to the use of students in forestry, botany, and landscape architecture for laboratory purposes. There are to be found here strong cultural departments supporting the scientific and technical courses. Opportunities are provided for the acquisition of all of the components of a balanced education. All able-bodied men have always been required to take two years of R.O.T.C. training under the jurisdiction of the War Department. For the duration of the war, Michigan State Col- lege is cooperating fully with all branches of the military and naval services in offering such courses as are required or suggested for those enlisted in or con templating service in any branch of the armed forces. · The people of Michigan have built here a great university. Its facilities for study, training, and development are available for your use. Q.

Besides classrooms a1td laboratories, a library and recital auditorium provide further opportunities for music study. Freshman W"eek FRESHMAN WEEK is arranged to help new students plan their college program, to acquaint them with the teaching staff, courses, and traditions, and to prepare for successful work in the fall term. 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 which last throughout the years. Advisory Program DURING Freshman Week, and throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years, each student is under direct supervision of a member of the faculty. More than 250 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 which he majors. In this way, he is encouraged to make fullest and best use of his time. Personal contact with members of the faculty, from Freshman Week until graduation, is a potent influence in the student's life . • State's campus is among country's most beautiful. • The U 1ti 0 n B II it din g is the center for many student activities. Your College MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE: The name suggests many things to many people. To the boy or girl about to leave home to attend college it means the opportunity for an education in friendly, democratic surroundings. To the graduate of no matter how many years standing it means a return to scenes of study, play, struggle and success, of dreams that have come true, and of romance that has not died. To parents, it means the mecca for their children, an opportunity for train ing for life, where children are sheltered, yet taking the first steps into life. To the people of Michigan generally it means a place where they can go for inf~rmation about the problems that confront them in their dealings with nature and with society. Those ideals are Michigan State College. But Michigan State College is far and away beyond all these. It is the fulfillment of a dream of hardy pioneers who saw a need of an education that would fit their children and their children's children for the actualities of life. So, in 1855, they founded Michigan Agricultural College, and in 1857, with some of the woods cleared away, and two buildings open for the instruction, the first agricultural college in the world was a reality. One can but wonder what students of today would think if they had to rise at the clanging of a bell at 5 :30 in the morning; attend chapel and prayers contributed by the president, and sit down to breakfast at 6 o'clock. From such a beginning Michigan State College has become a great institu tion, recognized throughout the world for its leadership in research and instruction. Here have developed practices, crops, and disease controls that have bene fited the entire nation. As experiments in the research laboratories have produced beneficial results, the information has been carried throughout the state by the extension service, and has been used in classrooms to guide students. In farm clubs, home economics study groups, high schools and 4-H centers information that means better living and greater information has spread - happiness to the people of Michigan, and of the nation. In this period of nearly a century Michigan State College has become a great university, taking her place of leadership in research, professional train ing, and extension . • Agricultural Hall (opposite page) is one of State's most imposing buildings Residence" Halls for Men MEN students who enter Michigan State College in the fall term, 1943, are encouraged to live in one of the two modern residence halls provided by the College and operated under the supervision of the Dean of Men. Rooms for 1,096 men students are available in the new Mason-Abbot Hall and in Wells Hall. Mason-Abbot Hall provides rooms for 892 men.

A special degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is given to students who complete, with high standing, designated courses in Chemistry, Mathe matics, Physics and German. Students in the Applied Science course may plan their work so as to be prepared to enter a medical or dental school. The Bachelor of Science degree may be awarded after three years of college work followed by at least one year in medical or dental school. A Wildlife Management Series, designed to train young men to fill adminis trative and technical positions in the field of wildlife management, also is offered. Classrooms and laboratories in the Division of Applied Science are housed in several buildings, including Kedzie Chemical Laboratory, Physics, Botany, and Entomology Buildings, Morrill Hall, Veterinary Hospital, the Women's Gymnasium, and the Frederick Cowles Jenison Gymnasium and Fieldhouse. Physical Education PURPOSE of courses in Physical Education is to train men as directors of .. physical education and athletics and as coaches in high schools and colleges; and to train women as teachers and supervisors of physical education in public schools and as directors of playgrounds. Police Administration THE COURSE in Police Administration is offered in co-operation with the Michigan State Police to meet a growing demand for trained police execu tives. The work combines a study of the basic sciences with modern methods of crime prevention and detection . • Examples of phases of work in Applied Scie1tce (opposite page).

There is also t r a i n i n g in a c cur ate habits of observation, and the student is acquainted with approved methods of drafting and computing and with the use and limitations of instruments. The curriculum permits students from the Sophomore year on, to follow individ ual inclinations towards specialization in the following courses: HENRY B. DIRKS Dean of Engineering (1.) Chemical (including Metallurgical). (2.) Civil (including Sanitary). (3.) Electrical. (4.) Mechanical. In the Senior year the Engineering student has a rather wide choice in both non-technical and technical courses. In the non-technical field, many courses in the Division of Liberal Arts are available while in Engineering such choices as Electroplating, Chemical Engineering Design, Advanced Concrete Design, Hydraulic Power Plants, Radio Communication, Automotive Engineering, Steam Power Plants, and Industrial Management are offered as optional courses. THERE also is offered the Engineering Administration Course, designed to meet the requirements of the student who has a natural aptitude and liking for engineering but to whom the business side of engineering industries has a stronger appeal than does the technical. Students who complete one of the series in the Division of Engineering are granted the degree of Bachelor of Science. Graduates may, under certain conditions, apply for and receive professional degrees. The Division of Engineering is housed in R. E. Olds Hall. Equipment includes laboratories for each of the four courses which the student may elect, and laboratory training is an essential part of engineering instruction . • Students in the Div isi01t of Engineering work in well- equipped S!30PS and laboratories ( oppo site page).

Home Economics As A STUDY of the problems of the home and of the family, home eco nomics is a broad field, touching many phases of human activity. By utilizing results of research in the social, biological, and physical sciences, and by utilizing courses in Liberal Arts and Applied Science , the Division of Home Economics offers a cultural educa tion for women, particularly suited to their needs. This type of education trains women students for the tasks of homemaking and at the same time enables them to prepare for professional careers. With the advent of war, preparation for MARIE DYE Dean of Home Economics earning a living has assumed less importance. Skilled trades which play an important part in winning the war can be learned in a short time, on the job, by almost anyone. With the return of peace, women with poise, culture, understanding and stability will be called upon to assume leadership in the reconstruction of the world. Women who have had thorough training in the social and economic problems of the family, in the rearing of children, and in feeding , clothing and housing the family will have an especially important part to play. Home Economics today is training women for this task tomorrow. Mean while it is giving them knowledge, skills and confidence with which to meet their own problems , which have become accelerated by war. In addition, courses in Home Economics prepare women for positions as extension workers, managers of cafeterias and tea rooms, dietitians, designers, retailers, directors of experimental kitchens for food or equipment companies, or as teachers of the various phases of home economics. For specialization in the Junior and Senior years, students may choose one of the following fields: (1.) Foods and Nutrition (including Dietetics, Commercial Foods, and (2.) Public Health Nutrition). Institution Administration (including Lunch Room and Cafeteria Management) . (3.) Clothing (including Costume Design and Merchandising). (4.) Related Arts (including Interior Decoration). (5.) Teaching. (6.) Home Economics and Nursing (five-year course). (7.) General Home Economics (including Child Development). Practical application of work in home management is made possible in Home Management Houses. Experience in a Home Management House is required of all students in the Division. Classrooms, laboratories, and offices of the Home Economics Division are housed in a large, modern building devoted to the work of the Division. Laboratory training also is provided in Home Management Houses, the Union, women's residence halls, and the Nursery School. • Laboratories i1t th e Division of Home Economics provid e opportunity for study and research u1tder faculty supervision.

Liber al Arts STUDENTS in the Division of L iberal Arts may take work leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in anyone of the following f@ur curricula : (1.) Liberal Arts (a major subject may be selected from Art, Social Studies, [Economics, History and Political Sci ence, Philosophy and Psychology, Soci ology, Geography] , English Literature, Journalism and Composition, Mathema tics, Music, Speech and Dramatics, in cluding Radio and Modern Language) . (2.) Business Administration (a cur- riculum designed to provide a basic training for students who plan to enter industry, commerce, and finance) . LLOYD C. EMMONS Dean 01 Liberal Arts (3.) Hotel Administration (a curriculum offered to meet a special demand for personnel adequately trained in present-day hotel methods). (4.) Public Administration (a sequence of courses to meet the needs of three classes of students: Those majoring in special vocational fields who plan to enter governmental service ; those majoring in such forms of govern mental service as personnel, research and statistics, governmental accounting, etc.; and those persons now employed in goyernmental service who feel a need for additional training). Students also may take work leading to the Bachelor of Music degree in the following: (1.) Public School Music (a curriculum to prepare teachers and super visors). (2.) Applied Music (a curriculum in which students may elect one of the following branches in which to do major work: Voice, Piano, Organ, Stringed Instruments, Brass and Woodwind Instruments). (3.) Students who wish to prepare to teach in the Elementary Grades may take work leading either to the State Limited Certificate or to the Elementary Provisional Certificate. The former requires the completion of two years of work and the latter, leading also to the Bachelor of Arts in Education degree, requires four years of work. THE curriculum in Liberal Arts is elastic. Courses are designed to provide cultural background for students in the technical divisions, as well as to provide curricula for majors in the division. Offices, classrooms, and laboratories of the Liberal Arts Division are centered in Morrill Hall, a building which recently was remodeled to fit the needs of the Division, and some departments in the Division are housed in other College buildings. The new Music Building was designed to fit the needs of t he faculty and students of the Department of Music. • Pictures ( opposite page) illustrate several of the subject fields in the D ivision of Liberal Arts.
