Within the walls of the Andrew Carnegie Library is -found the source of all knowledge. The Main Library, housed in University Hall, came into existence in October, 1882, when classes were first held at the State University of South Dakota. The fire in 1893 nearly destroyed the book collection, but it was quickly replaced, and in 1894 the library was designated the depository in South Dakota for United States documents. The present building was con- structed in 1912 by Andrew Carnegie ' s donation, and an addition was built, partly through a PWA grant, in 1940. An entirely new build- ing is being contemplated. Miss Ruth Bergman has been librarian since 1944, when she first acted as co-librarian with a contemporary. In 1948, Miss Bergman took over the job of maintaining and efficiently running the library. An estimated 1 85,000 books, constituting the largest li- brary In the state, are now under her care. Miss Rufh Bergman willingly contributes her efforts to the time-consuming, thankless job of maintaining the library. Knowledge comes through effort and hard work. o u a M S L 29

Contributing to the growth of the campus is the School of Education building. Mark Delzell, Dean of the School of Education, surveys the plans for the new building. The new School of Education building, to be completed in 1 962, should furnish adequate room for the school for some time and Is expected to enable the Univer- sity to eventually double the en- rollment in the School of Educa- tion. It replaces the old Science building which was condemned in 1958, and in addition, will house the classes held temporarily in various buildings on campus. This new, completely air- conditioned building will contain an audio-visual aids laboratory, a guidance and counseling center, a graduate study room, and an educational research and service center. 28

Military training has been part of the curriculum of the State University of South Dakota since 1895. The de- partment, contrary to pop- ular opinion, did not arise from a land grant institution. Infantry ROTC was estab- lished in 1919, and it wasn ' t until 1954-55 that general military science replaced the infantry program. ROTC is voluntary as far as the state is concerned. This year ' s en- rollment hit a record high of .707. A new record has also been set for cadets entering Regular Army. Lt. Col. William Hornby, act- ing Professor of Military Science and Tactics, came to the University from the First Cavalry Division in Korea. Prior to his tour of duty there, he attended parachute school and did an assignment with the 501st Parachute Battalion and Airborne units. Lt. Col. Hornby is a graduate of Ne- braska University and holds a B.A. in education. During the major growth era of the State University of South Dakota, Bill Slattery established the indispensable services of the News Bureau. Due to the hundreds of pic- tures and stories sent annually to news outlets in the area, the University has become well known not only to those not associated with it, but to the students as well. Mr. Slat- tery ' s contributions further lie in his assistance in planning events and aiding publica- tions. 30
