Enrollment Trends in Agricultural Colleges

Clemson Agricultural College, Clemson, South Carolina

ABSTRACT

The American Dairy Science Association, and especially its Educational Committee, is to be commended for devoting some serious thought to college enrollment in dairy production, dairy manufacturing, and in agriculture as a whole. You have recognized the existing situation and have demonstrated that you are willing to face the problem squarely, in an effort to find a solution. All of us would agree that nothing is to be gained by looking away from the problem and hoping for an automatic solution through some accidental set of circumstances.

As the current Chairman of the Resident Instruction Section in Agriculture, American Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Universities, I assure you that our organization is vitally concerned with the level of agricultural enrollment. We do not have all of the answers, but we are eagerly attempting to get at least some of them. For instance, the Resident Instruction Section distributed in 1955 for the first time a national publication on careers for college agricultural graduates.
