Title

Steel-wheeled tractor, 1935

Description

A field being plowed by a steele-wheeled tractor pulling a small plow. A man in work clothes is driving the tractor. On the horizon is a farmstead.
The history of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences begins with the founding of the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm in 1858, with classes beginning in 1869. As a land-grant institution, Iowa State was founded primarily to provide practical education in agriculture and the mechanic arts. Through the years, agriculture courses and short courses have focused on agricultural engineering, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairying, forestry, and horticulture. In the 21st century, the focus is on animal and the plant sciences, biotechnology life sciences, sustainability, and global development.

Title

Stevenson House homecoming lawn display of Now is the Hour to Beat the Jayhawks, 1958

Description

The Stevenson House Homecoming display of ""Now is the Hour to Beat the Jayhawks"" won first place in the Men's Residence Association, 1958. Students are shown working on the display, located in front of Friley Hall. It features a large cuckoo clock in which Cy strikes the Kansas University Jayhawk when both emerge from the clock.
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.

Title

Student browsing in the library's card catalog, 1962

Description

A male student browses in the library's card catalog.
The library was first housed in Old Main, which also contained the college's reception room, lecture hall, specimen museum, students' rooms, a chapel, kitchen, laundry, and dining room. An initial purchase of $2,500 for books for the library was made in 1870 by President Welch. The library was moved to Morrill Hall in 1896 and to the Central Building (now Beardshear Hall) in 1913. In 1925, the new library building was completed to house the library's 115,000 volumes under one roof. The new facility was not large enough to allow for adequate expansion and was outgrown within five years. The first addition to the library was completed in 1961, with a second addition completed in 1969 and a third addition was completed in 1983. In 1984, the Iowa State University Library was officially dedicated as the W. Robert and Ellen Sorge Parks Library.

Title

Student conducting an experiment in the Micro-chemistry Lab, 1948

Description

A student is working with a test tube conducting an experiment in the Micro-Chemistry Laboratory. A beaker and a flask have the name Kjeldahl written on them. H2SO4 is also written on the beaker.
The Department of Botany was established at Iowa State in 1870 with Charles E. Bessey serving as Dept. Head. Professor Bessey guided the Botany Department during its formative years and he created the first undergraduate botanical laboratory in the United States as well as the university's herbarium. Graduate work for the M.S. degree was offered in 1871, and in 1914 major work leading to the PhD degree was added. In 2003, the Botany Department was combined with Microbiology and Zoology/Genetics to form the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology.
