In his response, Teacher Educa- tion-the Challenge for the Future, Dr. Bowes pointed out the persis- tence of South Dakotans in the field of education. Here in the heartland of the nation, he said, we of mid- America have believed in education with almost a missionary zeal. lt is in this part of the country that, almost before men built homes and church- es, they built schools and colleges. ln this country, said Dr. BoweS, with its worship of bigness, there iS still a true opportunity for the small, dedicated college to serve. There I5 nothing small about the type of edu- cation it offers the students with the desire to learn.
