NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The New York State College of Agriculture is maintained by the State as one of three state colleges within Cornell University. It is equipped with a staff md facilities for teaching resident students of various types, for maling investigations in all phases of agriculture and the underlying scences, and for disseminating its teachings to the people of the State. The support of the State towards these ends byis supplemented substantial appropriations from the Federal Government, and by tte land and other large facilities and services freely placed at the disposal of the College by Cornell University. COURSES AVAILABLE The information contained in this announcement relates to the two-year courses first offered in 1929-30. These are designed for young men who expect to go into farming or into business closely allied thereto, and who desire agricultural training of college grade, but cannot devote more than two years to it. The College offers, in addition, a winter course beginning in November and running through twelve weeks ; a summer session of six weeks ; a four-year course, lead ing to the degree of bachelor Df science; and graduate courses, leading to higher degrees. These offerings give preparation for different kinds and different levels of agricultural vocations and call for differ ent prerequisites for admission. A separate printed announcement Secretaryof each of these courses is available on application to the of the College of Agriculture, Roberts Hall, Ithaca, New York. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION For admission to the two-year courses, candidates must offer: Fifteen units acceptable by the University of the State of New York toward a state diploma, or the equivalent by school certificates. English, 4 years, is counted as 3 units. Approximately one year of practical experience on a farm or in a business related to the curriculum to be followed. Certificates of good moral character. All students matriculating in the University must present a satis factory certificate of vaccination against smallpox. This certificate is considered satisfactory only if it certifies to a successful vaccination within five years, or certifies that at least three unsuccessful attempts have been made within the same period. THE APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION Candidates for admission should address Dr. E. F. Bradford, Director of Admissions, Morrill Hall, Ithaca, New York, stating that they desire to enter one of the two-year courses in the College of [61 TWO-YEAR COURSES 7 Agriculture. This should be done as early as possible, since the pro curing of the necessary credentials often takes considerable time. Every candidate for admission in September must make a deposit of $25 before August 1. A check, draft, or money order should be made payable to Cornell University and sent to the Office of Admis sions, Morrill Hall, Ithaca, New York. If the candidate matriculates, the deposit will be credited to his ac count, $10 for the matriculation fee, $1 for examination books, and $14 as a guaranty fund, which every two-year student is required to maintain, and which is to be refunded to him upon his permanent withdrawal, less any indebtedness to the University. If admission is denied a candidate who has complied with these rules, the deposit is refunded in full at any time. The application may be withdrawn and the refund of deposit claimed before August 1 without charge. After August 1 and before August 31a charge of $10 is made against the deposit for accrued expenses. After August 3 1 no refund is allowed. CERTIFICATE ON COMPLETION OF COURSE Students who satisfactorily complete the work of an approved two-year course with credit for at least sixty hours, will be granted an appropriate certificate. RELATION TO THE FOUR-YEAR DEGREE COURSE Except in respect to the items of administration and curriculum specifically covered in this announcement, students in the two-year bycourse are governed exactly the same conditions as are students of the four-year course. They should, therefore, consult the an nouncement of the latter course for further details of information and for the description of courses open to their election but not here listed or described. Transfer to the degree course will be possible at the end of the two- year course for those who have given evidence of ability to carry advanced work. Students who qualify for such transfer will not be required to offer any further entrance credit. The transfer is possible solely on a basis of the full two-year record, which must be consider ably better than the average of all two-year students. Students who transfer from the two-year to the four-year course are given full credit toward the degree for work satisfactorily passed in the two-year course. Two-year students are registered as special students and are not eligible to represent the University in intercollegiate athletics. EXPENSES Tuition Tuition is free to two-year students in the New York State College of Agriculture, who at the beginning of the college year are, and for at least twelve months prior thereto have been, bona-fide residents of COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE the State of New York. A student transferring from one college or course in the University to another, must pay for the hours credit he receives in the latter college or course an amount corresponding to the difference in tuition; and no such transfer is allowed or credit given until such payment has been made. Students in Agriculture who are not exempt under these provisions are required to pay $200 for the full college year. This amount is payable in installments of $1 10 at the beginning of the first term and $90 at the beginning of the second term, but a student registered only for the second term of the academic year is required to pay at the rate of the first term. Tuition and other fees become due when the student registers. The University allows twenty days of grace after the last registration day dayof each term of the regular session. The last of grace is gener ally printed on the registration coupon which the student is required Anyto present at the Treasurer's office. student, graduate or under graduate, except as hereinafter provided, who fails to pay his tuition, fees and other indebtedness, or if entitled to free tuition fails to claim the same at the Treasurer's office and pay his fees, within the time prescribed by the University is thereby dropped from the University. When in his judgment the circumstances in a particular case so war rant, the Treasurer may allow an extension of time to complete payments. For such extension, the student will be assessed a fee of $5$2. A financial reinstatement fee of will be assessed in the case of any student who is permitted to continue or return to classes after being dropped from the University for default in payments. For reasons satisfactory to the Comptroller and the Registrar, which must be presented in writing, the above assessment may be waived in any individual case. Any tuition or other fee may be changed by the Board of Trustees to take effect at any time without previous notice. Other Fees A matriculation fee of $10 is required of every student upon en trance into the University. A new two-year student who has made the required deposit of $25 with the Treasurer does not make an additional payment of the matriculation fee, because the Treasurer draws on the deposit for this fee. A health and infirmary fee of $6 a term is required at the beginning of each term of every student. In return, a student, in case of illness, is, upon his physician's certificate, admitted to the University infir mary and receives, without charge, a bed in a ward, board, and ordinary nursing for a period not exceeding two weeks in any academic year. For such service beyond the period of two weeks, a charge of $2 a day is made. Extra charges are made for private rooms, special food, and special nurses. A Willard Straight Hall membership fee of $5 is required at the be ginning of each term. Its payment entitles the student to a share in TWO-YEAR COURSES 9 bythe common privileges afforded the operation of Willard Straight Hall, subject to the regulations made by the Board of Managers. A physical recreation fee of $4, required at the beginning of each term, entitles the student to the use of a locker, bathing facilities, and towels, in the gymnasium, the New York State Drill Hall, or the Schoellkopf Memorial Building. An examination book fee of $1 is required of every student at en trance to pay for the examination books furnished to the student throughout his course. The charge is made against the student's deposit fee. A University administration fee of $5 a term is required of every beginningstudent in the state colleges at the of each term. Laboratory fees are charged to cover the cost of materials used in laboratorycertain courses that require and field work. A few of the courses involve out-of-town trips for the purpose of studying market ing Everyand field conditions. student must pay his own travel livingand expenses on these trips. The approximate total amount of the laboratory fees and trip expenses for each of the courses for two years is as follows : Dairy Farming Other Livestock Farming Poultry Farming Fruit Growing Vegetable Growing General Farming Marketing of Fruits and Vegetables Marketing of Dairy Products Commercial Floriculture Nursery Landscape Service Laboratory fees $56.00 49.00 44-5 60.50 58.5 53- 60.00 80.00 78-5 66.00 Trip expenses $ 1 .00 8.00 1 .00 1 J-00 1 1 .00 BOARD AND LODGING The University is gradually adding to the number of residential halls for men; at present there are accommodations for about 725 stu dents. For particulars, address the Manager of Residential Halls, Morrill Hall, Ithaca, New York. Many private lodging houses near the University offer furnished rooms, with heat and light, at rates ranging from $3 to $5 a week for a single room. Before he rents a room in a private house, a student should make sure, by a personal inspection, that the sanitary arrange ments of the house are good, and he should especially insist on a good fire escape. The University publishes a list of lodging houses that have been inspected and found to be satisfactory in the above re spects; the list is ready for distribution on August 15. New students dayare advised to engage rooms at least a few days before the set for registration. The Freshman Advisory Committee offers its help to new students, and sends them a circular letter of suggestions about September 1. IO COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The number of private houses that offer both rooms and board is small, and many students get their meals outside the houses where they live. The University conducts a cafeteria in Willard Straight Hall, and the College of Home Economics also has a public cafeteria. byThere are other good cafeterias that are patronized mainly students. It is possible to obtain satisfactory board and lodging for the full college year for a total of $400. Those with limited means will be able to save $1 or $2 a week from this amount by living in the cheaper buyingrooms and less expensive meals. The necessary college expenses for the two years, exclusive of clothes and travel, may average $500 a year. The additional amount spent for clothes and incidentals will vary with the tastes and means of the student. THE TWO-YEAR CURRICULA The two-year course has organized within it ten curricula giving preparation for the major types of farming in New York State and for certain allied businesses. A two-year student must select one of these curricula and follow closely the work as outlined. Changes from these outlines may be made with the consent of the Director of Resident Instruction and the faculty adviser to whom the student will be as signed when he registers. Requests for further information regarding these curricula should be addressed to the Secretary of the College of Agriculture, Roberts Hall, Ithaca, New York.
