20—Lancaster Farming, * Saturday, August 24,1968 College Adapts To Changing Agriculture Dr. William E. McDaniel, dean of the University of Delaware’s College of Agricultural Sciences, spoke at a service club dinner prior to the University’s annual Farm and Home Field Day, and pointed out that the agricultural segment of the economy includes the total output of the entire ag ribusiness community. These in clude storage, processing and distribution facilities as well as those industries involved in the manufacture and distribution of farm supplies. “We in the College of Agri cultural Sciences have recogniz ed and accepted the changing role of agriculture for many years,” said McDaniel “And be cause we have adjusted our in structional program to encom pass the agribusiness function, we have seen our enrollment in crease threefold since 1957 ” Approximately 30 people are involved in supplying the needs and in processing and marks' ing the products of each full time farmer in this countiv. he added Thus today’s agucultui alist is likely to be a reseaichei, an agricultural engineer, a faim economist, or an insect and dis ease specialist. Preparing young men and women for careers in agnbusi ness is one of the prime icspon sibilities of the College of Agu cultural Sciences, said McDaniel “Our Bachelor of Science degree programs prepare students for these careers or for additional education in our graduate pio grams.” “Our S. Hallock duPont asso ciate degree (two year) pro grams put us in a position to ac cept most Delaware students who have completed high school in the upper three quaiters of their class.” he added. “Many of our two year students enroll in the four year progiam aftei completing one or two yeais at the college; others accept em ployment in agribusiness aftei receiving the associate degiee” It is unfortunate that many young people are missing the ag ribusiness opportunities avail able to agricultural science grad uates, said McDaniel. Research indicates that parents have a profound influence on the col lege and career choices of young people. We don’t compromise quality for quantity in our stu dents, but we don’t want to frighten away those young men and women capable of earning a college degiee.
