Oui Cji ooelnol Cover nor Nor man Brim set ale ore than ever before, it is important that the abilities of our people be developed more fully; that our students prepare themselves for their life’s work in the field of their choice after having acquired an education in such fundamentals as are prerequisite for all vocations, occupations, or professions. The unexplored frontiers of today and tomorrow demand more education and intensive training than have been characteristic of the past. The theme of the 1952 Agaicasie, The Sounds of Science , is interesting and it is also a challenging subject and a timely one. In some respects it appeal's we arc on the threshold of new discoveries in this field although recent years have been revealing of much that unknown only a few years ago. My sincere wishes to you for another worthwhile contribution to all of us in the publication of your 1952 Agaicasie. Sincerely yours, NORMAN BRUNSDALE Governor of North Dakota

Just a word from Benny, or a pep talk from Skip . . . two of the ways in which our knowledge storehouses administrate our web of college activities. What a task, even for a capable administration like ours, to have to direct the SSS Symphony! Let’s listen a moment as we glance at the faces of our instructors, and remember how well they tuned up our school-day pattern. Whether he had the quiet atmosphere of a Junior College classroom in which to expound, or whether he had to muster up all his lung capacity in order to give instructions over the screaming of a drill, or the chanting of a linotype, that teacher held a dominant chord in daily school curriculum. No small wonder why Science means Mr. Fauss to any loyal drafter, Mr. Kinde or Mr. Adams to the least printing of printers, or Miss Forkner to our domestic Home Ec. majors! All down the line, each student is convinced to the one hundred per cent mark that his instructor is tops on the list... there’s only one explanation for that... funny thing, but they all must be tops!

If we seek to fulfill the dreams of a new Fieldhouse ... a new heating plant or any other expensive campus-improving projects, we need the “yes signature of these men which is the main street go-ahead. Since one day in June. 1938. when a constitutional amendment brought the State Board of Higher Education into being, the affirmative nod of this body has been a determinate in our. as well as every other state college’s destiny. 1952’s group of supreme educators is a composite of many different professions and state corners. These friendly, professional men make frequent trips of inspection, as. led by Commissioner A. F. Arnason. they become acquainted with their subjects. These seven advocates of equality, improvement, and collegiate advancement wear their crown of authority well. li
