Work of his predecessor, of him as a friend and helper, a consistent example of the doctrine of co-operation which Dr. Cook had urged so insistently. At the cemetery a prayer Was offered at the grave by his friend, Rev. C. D. Erskine, of Sturgis and the final obsequies were conducted by the Spearfish Lodge A. F. and A. M. Many friends and former students were present at the funeral. Few school men have had so long a tenure as was Dr. Cook's in S. N. S. For thirty-four years he gave unsparingly of himself and his limited means for the advancement of the school. Having no child, the school became the idol of his heart. He left no estate. His home even carried a mortgage to help finish the Normal gymnasium. The passing of F. L. Cook ended the active Work of one of South Dakota's greatest builders. We are yet too close to his day to fairly estimate the greatness of his contribution to the state. ' 9
