Mother is a coed

Includes photographs by Vivian Hansbrough."Mother is not staying at home with her knitting. Instead, she is attending the University with her son or daughter. After being absent from the classroom for a score of years, she finds the going rough at times, with reading lists, laboratory periods, term papers, and objective tests."--Page

Careers unlimited

Mostly photographs."College Career Day, sponsored by the College of Agriculture, has special significance to the Home Economics Department. On that Saturday, students and staff members escort visiting high school seniors through the department, and help to dispel the old idea that home economics is limited to acquiring skills in cooking and sewing. Like their brothers in agriculture, home economists today find their list of possible careers is almost unlimited."--Page

He makes them tick

"Say the name Gordon Nance to Missouri farmers, and they recall the extension economist who visited their communities for 26 years. Say it to industrial managers, and they praise the witty and instructive speeches on economics that he has made from coast to coast. To his colleagues on the University campus, he is a jovial professor of agricultural economics. But mention Gordon Nance's name to Columbians who attend local auction sales, and the response is sure to be, 'Oh, yes, the man who buys clocks.'"--Page

Those fascinating insects

"Bugs are just bugs to most people, but not to Wilbur R. Enns, director of the entomological museum at the University. After twenty years of close acquaintance with insects, Dr. Enns has found that they have personalities as varied and as curious as do human beings."--Page 1

Orchids go to college

"Professor James E. Smith has pets, and none of his pupils object. In fact, his students do most of the caring for his 350 pet orchids, growing in the horticulture greenhouse."--Page

Straight-shooting entomologist

Mostly photographs."Lee Jenkins is no gun-toter, but some of his shots would put Western TV actors to shame. This camera-packin' professor brings 'em back alive--on film--to enjoy long after the hunter has lost the thrill of killing one of Nature's creatures."--Page

M.U. leadership in industrial education

"The Industrial Education Department is not exactly a prophet, although it can predict success for its graduates, but it is an example of being better known elsewhere than at home. The average student at the University probably could not tell a visitor the location of the department. Yet the graduates of the department who, constantly recommend qualified students, occupy key positions in industry and in schools of education throughout the nation. If satisfied customers are the criterion, this department rates high."--Page

Now Johnny can hear and speak!

"When the public health nurse in that area asked that the student and professional staff of the University Speech and Hearing Clinic come to Ste. Genevieve to hold an off-campus speech clinic for children in that area, Dr. Charlotte G. Wells and 12 assistants gladly accepted the invitation."--Page

Story of a diploma

"Remembering the expression 'receive his sheepskin' and recalling diplomas with elaborate hand lettering, the graduate may be surprised at the appearance of his diploma from the University of Missouri."--Page 1
