Animal Husbandry Clubs. Their Work and Relationship

Louisiana State University

Abstract

That the regular organized classroom activities fail to satisfy completely the needs and desires of the average University student is evidenced by the many and varied professional clubs and organizations found on our various campuses. The objects of these clubs are usually (a), to obtain additional information through speakers, association and discussion with students who are interested in a particular field or (b), to offer students an opportunity to try out their abilities by attempting to put into practice some of the things which they have been taught in the classroom. Agricultural students are no different from the average of the university. Generally, wherever there is an agricultural department, there exists on that campus either an agricultural club or else student departmental clubs within the college of agriculture. This paper is particularly concerned with student animal husbandry clubs or other student organizations catering to the desires of the animal husbandry student.

Of the forty-nine agricultural colleges in the United States, twelve have agricultural clubs but do not have separate animal husbandry clubs; thirty-four have separate animal husbandry clubs, and apparently three have neither agricultural nor animal husbandry clubs.
