The importance of getting along well with other people and at the same time retaining your individuality and doing your own thinking was the principal lesson we tried to impart in the sophomore div- ision.

SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP DEPARTMENT The Saga of American business is the story of the search for men-the right men. Dakota Business College is dedicated to their development. Absolute integrity comes first. The ability to Write and figure is easily acquired but frequently neglected. These are foundation stones upon which all business training is laid.
