New Curricula
Two new four-year curricula
in the School of Agriculture have
been approved and will enroll
their first students this fall,

the total number offered by the
Collegeto 59, are Agricultural
Journalism and General Agri
culture.
Dr. Russell B. Dickerson, vice
dean , in charge of resident
instruction in the School of Ag
riculture, explains that the cur
riculum in agricultural 'journal
ism will prepare students desiring
to enter the field of farm publica
tions as well as those in agri
cultural extension who work
constantly with public relations
matters.
The curriculum in general
agriculture is intended for the
student who desires a less spec

that offered by the present
curricula in the School. The
curriculum includes basic work
in practically all phases of agri
culture as well as electives in
other fields..
Buckhout Addition
Contracts totaling $891,430 for
construction of an addition to the
Buckhout laboratory at the Col

Agriculture Professor
Retires Emeritus
Dr. R. Adams Dutcher, for 30 years professor and head of the
department of agricultural and biological chemistry at the Penn
sylvania State College, retired on June 30 with emeritus rank and
already he is planning for busy days ahead.
Consulting work, which Dr. Dutcher has been conducting since
long , before his appointment at Penn State in 1921, will occupy
some of his time and he also plans to do some popular writing 'on
technical subjects. •In January,
he'll make a lecture tour for
the American Chemical Society
through the South. His subject
will be: • "Milestone ,in Vitamin
Research."
Internationally known for his
work on vitamins, foods, and nu
trition, when. Dr. Dutcher came to
Penn State from the University
of MinnesOta, his first job was
to establish a program in vitamin
research. •
Dr. Dutcher recalls that in 1921,
the present department of agri
cultural and biological chemis
try was known as the department
of chemical agriculture. One of
his first requests as, department
head was that the name /be
changed since he believed the
work should include not only
agricultural chemistry, but also
biological chemistry.
"Our aim was to train chem
ists," Dr. Dutcher explains, and
he immediately established more
rigid standards for his students,
particularly in mathematics, phy
sics, physical chemistry, lan
guages, and organic and bio
chemistry.
Today the department is rec
ognized as among the best in the
country and so far as is known,
is the only department of agri
cultural biochemistry in the
United States to have been ac
credited by the American Chem
ical Society.
