The educational program of Antioch College emphasizes the broad features of a liberal education. Under the coöperative plan students spend half-time at some practical employment. There are, this year, 579 students employed on 318 jobs by 168 employers in 15 states. Of this total, 37 jobs give employment to 70 students in work of a chemical or related character. This technical work supplements the academic program and gives these students experience in their field of concentration. Educational exhibits, literature, charts, slides, films, and lectures furnished by the industries supplement the academic work. The improved facilities of a new science building have made possible an enlarged program of research. Students, assisting on the several problems, receive training in the spirit and methods of research.
