University of Minnesota. Dept. of Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural Engineering and Physics was first listed as a Course of Study for the University’s College of Agriculture in the 1908-1909 Catalogue. Professor John T. Stewart was Chief of the Course of Study (also referred to as the Division of Agricultural Engineering), and the courses included agricultural engineering, farm engineering, and forest engineering.
