Bio/Historical Note: When the College of Agriculture began the first class, almost all the students enrolled in a 3-year associate course which emphasized the practical aspects of farming. This course appealed to students from rural areas where high school facilities were scarce. After World War I the degree program was emphasized, and by 1921 the associate and degree student bodies separated as they stopped sharing classes. Since 1937, the associate course was replaced by the School of Agriculture in order to serve the needs of rural students. In later years, this program was changed to a 2-year course.
