Show THE EXTENSION DIVISION Y^YS the official guest of the Uni- versity and of the state of Utah, the National University Extension Association held its eleventh annual convention in Salt Lake City last June. The Association had never been West. In spite of the distance to Utah the attendance was representative and impressive. Delegates were present from the universities of the land from Maine to California. Utah had much to show-from the University campus itself to places of wonder as far away as Bryce and Zion Canyons-and was proud to maintain the standing of the West for hospitality. Dr. Frederick J. Keppel, Director of the Carnegie Corporation, defines adult education as "the process of learning undertaken seriously and consecutively on the initiative of the individual and as a supplement to some primary occupation." Adult education recognizes study as co-extensive with life. The study may aim at the development of the skills, aptitudes, and proficiences which are serviceable and lucrative. In extent and kind of work the Division may do its part to keep open the channel by which the strength and spirit of the University moves out to inhabit the walks of men. F. W. Reynolds, Director of the Extension Division Adamson, Crabbe, Brown, Agner, Director Reynolds, Flandro, Reynolds, Ingalls, Girlia, Wahlquist. |
