Administrative history
The Department of Agricultural Economics was established within the Faculty of Agriculture in 1940 to deal with agriculture's economic and social problems, which arose primarily in the adaption of the industry to technological progress and population growth. Dean F.M. Clement, who had offered courses in agricultural economics for over fifteen years, became the first head of the department. In 1949, W.J. Anderson succeeded Clement, and he served as a head until 1964.
