Abstract:
Agricultural colleges have always tried to provide challenging opportunities for some practical work experiences that parallel classroom lecturing, either on or off campus.
As an example, at the turn of the century Cornell required that no student be given a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture until he had passed an examination in the practice of Agriculture. The practice requirement at Cornell has undergone considerable change since that time. In a report in 1965 it was stated that each student in Cornell's College of Agriculture was required to present evidence of an acceptable practice or work experience of approximately thirteen weeks. The experience could be either a farm experience or another type of practical experience appropriate to the student's field of specialization.
