Observes (Continued from Page 1 ) standing success in their fields The young president probably faced his most difficult years at the very beginning of his administration when the college had to join the nation in making preparations for war Special student army training corps and Red Cross training were introduced into the curriculum and students were organized to plant and harvest crops for the national food supply It was the foresight of the president that brought out of this crisis three new buildings to the campus The legislature of 1917 had already authorized the construction of the Animal Husbandry building by an appropriation of $55000 and the next year out of the emergency war expenditure Governor Simon Bamberger approved $40000 each for two barracks Meanwhile President Peterson worked for the construction of buildings that could later be finished with classrooms and laboratories The two barracks were converted after the war into the Engineering and Plant In- dustry buildings The new additions almost double the building capacity of the institution jaw Hopes Realized During the following years the president saw many of his hopes and ambitions realized through further expansion of the college His philosophy has always included lostering of rural civilization and in 1921 the authorization of the state legislature to train teachers at the college was a personal triumph for him President Peterson believed the school adequate and the climate and scenery of Logan advantageous to a national summer school and the session was finally instituted in 1924 Scholastic presage was recognized when the president announced in 1926 the admission of the Utah State Agricultural college to the Association of American Universities lhe following year the expansion of the curriculum to almost its piesent size added “Amen" to one of ms prayers New Additions Came This same year 1927 also marked the addition of the Home Economics practice cottage and the stadium to the campus In 1930 came the new library building and in 1935 the Commons building and the amphitheater This same period saw the rise of the school of forestry another ambition of the The last building
