Science in all its branches has never received more attention than to-day. Success of industrial enterprises depends largely upon the intelligent application of facts and princi- ples brought to light in the laboratories of technical schools. The department of physics was formerly included in the department of chemistry. They were separated in the fall of 1893 when the work in physics was taken charge of by the present head of the department. The first laboratory course in physics was offered in the fall of ISQ3-V From the two rooms that it occupied at that time it has expanded until it now occupies all of the first floor Cexcepting one class roomj of the main part of the Engineering and Physics Building with its large, well-equipped. well-lighted laboratories, an office and. a class room. A lecture room. an apparatus room and an office are on the second floor wl1ile the electrical engineering laboratory is provided for in one of the wings of the same building. The department was enlarged several years ago to include the work in electrical en- gineering in which a full course is now offered. Water, gas and electricity are provided for the lecture rooms, dark room and labogt- tories. The large lecture room is being seated with tablet opera chairs. Several volumes of reference books upon the various lines of physics and electrical engineering are kept in the library. The advanced laboratories are provided with non-vibratory piers. The equipment of the department for the work in physics includes such expensive pieces of appar- atus as analytical balances, cathetometer, spectrometer, microscopes, photometers, sirens. standard cells, small dynamos and motors, astatic, differential, tangent, D'Arsonval and bal- listic galvanometers, storage cells, magnetometer, ammeters, voltmeters, induction coils, Wheatstone bridges, X-ray and wireless telegraphy apparatus- In the Electrical Engineering laboratory may be found standard types of the various direct and alternating current dynamos and motors, recording and indicating wattmeters, transformers, photometer and electrical measuring instruments. In fact the laboratories of this department have a good equipment and are having it added to each year so that the opportunities offered for investigation in its different lines of work are equal to those of the best institutions of the Northwest. The work offered in physics includes three full courses of elementary work requiring a full year for completion. In connection with this is a carefully selected list of experiments chosen and arranged to Ht in with the text-book work in the class room. The same plan is followed in connection with the advanced courses along this line of work. A year's work is offered in General Physics, which consists of courses along the same general lines as the elementary work, differing from it in that it is a much more thorough and comprehensive treatment of the different subjects. The advanced work offered is intended for those wish- ing to make a specialty of science subjects. The course in Electricity and Magnetism offered in connection with this advanced work is the preliminary work required of students in the Electrical Engineering course. That the courses are well arranged and admirably adapted for the purpose for which they were designed is evidenced by the singular success of S- D. A. C. graduates who have been called to the position of science teachers in this and various other states. Graduates of the College are admitted without examination to the graduate courses of the best universities of the country. , The establishment of a course in Electrical Engineering is comparatively recent, yet it has been popular for the number of young men enrolling for this work is increasing rapidly each year. The work in this course is largely under the control of Professor Hoy. The work is arranged and presented according to methods followed in many of the most successful engineering schools of the country. While the department is comparatively new, those who have completed the course have been giving a good account of themselves in their chosen line of work. The members of the last graduating classes have had no trouble in securing positions with the largest electrical manufacturing establishments in the United States, while this year there has been a greater demand for graduates along this line of work than the institution has been able to supply. It would not be possible in a brief statement of this kind to enter into a discussion of the vast possibilities along this line of work nor can a technical description of the apparatus be attempted. Suffice it to say that with the apparatus we have and a comparatively small body of students more individual attention can be given and the best results are obtained. 13 Department gf Physics and Electrical Engineering H.

The next course is o application of the wet method of analysis for a This department is equipped with the latest and most improved appliances for instruction. VVhen the student commences the subject he is assigned a desk provided with all the appa- ratus and fixtures needed. The first course of- fered is in Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry. This course makes the student familiar with the common elements. their compounds and tests up to the metals. Chemical theory is also included. The next course is Qualitative Inor- ganic Chemistry. This makes the student fa- miliar with the metals and the principles of qualitative analysis. Upon completing this course he next advances to the elements of Grganic Chemistry, which treat of the com- mon organic compounds met with in daily life as well as the classification and theories under- lying this branch. The object of these three courses is to give the student a good knowl- edge of general chemistry. He is taught its uses and applications. and now finds himself rder he enters upon a course in Quantitative methods. how to separate the different bases on of compounds. He uses both gravimetric ne in Volumetric Analysis. This teaches the ll the different organic acids and compounds and also their application and the determination of those inorganic substances which are more readily handled in that way. NVhen a s tudent has reached this point he is able to take up with benefit the Chemistry and Physiology of Foods. This course includes the princi- ples of nutrition, the methods of compoundin taries. At this point the student derives much benefit from the detection of adulterants, col- oring matter and preservatives as they are found in the prepared foods of our markets. After pursuing his course thus far. a few stu- dents who desire to specialize now take up Agricultural and Sanitary Analysis. where they learn the analysis of all kinds of foods, feeding stuffs. soils and waters. Agricultural students are also given a course in Agricultural Chemistry, which goes mi- nutely into the application of chemistry to everyday farm life. Finally students so elect- ing may take a course in Industrial Chemistry which has for its object a study of the manu- facturing processes in which chemistry enters so largely at the present time- It will be seen from the foregoing description that a student who has taken all the chemistry work in the South Dakota Agricultural College finds him- self well equipped indeed. g balanced rations and a study of human die- FRANK A.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is located in the new Engineering and Physics Hall. The instruction in this department is both practical and theoretical. The usual methods of text-book study and lectures are employed, but the student is required to put into practice the instruction which he receives. Hence the work of the class room is supplemented and practically exemplified by practice in the shops and laboratories. In the drafting room the student is first taught the elementary principles of drafting. Then the design of individual pieces of different machines is taken up and finally a com- plete machine is designed. This involves the calculation of all the strains and stresses that are set up in the different parts of the machine. And also to make due allowance for strength and rigidity of each individual piece as it performs its function in relation to the whole mechanism. Among the many machines designed may be mentioned particularly gas en- gines, steam engines and straw boilers. In the shops the student is required to make some of the simpler machines that he has designed in the drafting room. Several courses are also offered in Architectural work fitting the student to make complete plans, drawings and estimates for ordinary buildings and residence. The machine shop is furnished with a large number of engine lathes for iron turning. These lathes are of various types and sizes. They are the products of the leading manu- facturing firms of the country and make the student familiar with the best makes of machines now on the market. We here also find a large iron planer, a sixteen-inch crank shaper, a No. 1 I-C: Universal Milling Machine, drill presses, drill grinders, etc., and a large number of smaller tools that go to make up a first-class machine shop. In fact it is doubtful if any college in the Northwest has a better assortment of representative machines than this college. In order to familiarize the student with the different machines and the principles of their operation he is given exercises in straight and taper turning, boring, thread cutting. planing, shaping, milling and gear cutting. And as his skill increases he is required to make various kinds of tools and cutters and finally to make complete machines from designs pre- viously made in the drafting room. In order to make the student as thoroughly familiar with modern machine shop methods as possible, he is required to acquire the habit of interpreting blue prints and drawings. As far as practical the student is allowed to use his own methods in the pro- duction of an article and encouraged in thinking for himself and exercising his own original- ity, and ingenuity. The forge room is furnished with twenty-eight forges and twenty-eight anvils, trip hammers, emery grinders, etc. The blast is furnished by a power blower and the gases are exhausted by a 70-inch steel-plate exhaust fan. The student is here given practice in drawing. bending, upsetting and welding iron and steel. Among the many articles that the student is required to make may be mentioned three pairs of blacksmith tongs, punches, chisels, various styles and sizes of wrenches and hammers. as well as a large number of other articles of practical importance. All these dif- ferent articles arc given a thorough test by the instructor as to temper and workmanship before they are accepted. The woodworking room is equipped with twenty-five sets of carpenter tools for bench work, and a large number of woodturning lathes, pattern lathes, jig saw, combination circular saw, large surface planer, etc- This makes in all a very complete woodworking equipment for bench work, woodturning and patternmaking. Here the student becomes familiar with the use of the different kinds of tools used in carpentry work as well as making all the joints common in building construction. On the wood lathe a person trains his eye as well as his hand. Here there is a possi- bility of developing something ornamental as well as useful. The :esthetic and the practical are combined. Here the student is required to make a number of cups of various sizes and shapes, spheres, mallets, picture frames and a large number of other articles too numerous to mention here. In the experimental laboratory we find a 100,000 pound vertical testing machine for the 16 Asst. ur Jose of testing different materials used for construction purposes, such as timber, brick. D l - stone concrete blocks, cast iron, wronght iron and structural steel. . We also find a 2,000 pound cement testing machine, for the purpose of testing ce- ments and concretes. Here experimental investigation is being carried on in order to de- termine the relative strength and durability of the different kinds of cement, time of setting, fineness of grinding, thoroughness of burning, etc. Samples of cement for testing purposes are received from various manufacturing companies throughout the country. This tends to bring the student in closer contact with actual conditions and enables him to ascertain for himself the merits and defects of the ' ' d t l the different kinds and brands of cement- In the testing of structural 1ron an s ee student gets an opportunity to study the laws of tl1e behavior of these materials while they are . . . . . . I d t e es and strains similar to those to which they are subjected while in actua use. un er s r ss , . Brake tests and efficiency tests are also carried on the different gas engines, hot air engines, steam engines and steam boilers located in this laboratory. Thus giving the student an opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with the actual operation, care and manage- ment of these various ma chines as well as the theoretical principles underlying their opera- tions. Great stress is being laid upon experimental engineering at the present time, as it is a very important factor in the technical economic fabric of our country. And in fact the great aim of this department is to give the young man such training and knowledge as will ' ' - ' ' li h we are enable him to become a helper in the producing of these material things upon wi c so intimately dependent. To enable him to become a factor in the conservation and economic application of the resources and energies of our country. H. C. SOLBERG, M. E. Professor of Mechanical and Steam Engineering GEO. R.

The Experiment Station is an institution created by Congress under what is known as the Hatch Act. This bill passed both houses of Congress in 1887 and became a law just twenty-five years after the bill passed, providing for the donating of public lands to the sev- eral states and territories to provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. It was thc crowning effort on the part of Congress to make these institutions what they are to-day and great credit is due to Mr. Hatch, who was the principal promoter of the bill. The station is strictly an agricultural institution, its object being to solve problems for the farmers which they cannot solve thcmselvesg to assist in unlocking nature's secrets and bringing them to the attention of the farmer who works in the field with his coat off. George Washington foresaw the necessity of establishing a national board of agricul- ture to assist the farmers in their pursuits and, in one of his messages to Congress, empha- sized the importance of such an organization. President Roosevelt has said. While I am a son of Harvard, I feel that the state land grant institutions are doing a greater work and are closer to the hearts of the people than. many of the older and better equipped colleges. In this connection it might be stated that there are more people who hear of the South Da- kota Agricultural College through the medium of the experiment station bulletins than through any other source, and many there are in this state to-day who know nothing of the Agricultural College. while as a matter of fact the former is a part of the latter. The station receives 515,000 annually from the federal government for its support. The money is used for strictly experimental purposes. The equipment of the station, such as land and build- ings, is furnished by the state, wl1ile the laboratory facilities are provided by the station. It consists of six different divisions, viz.: Agronomy, Horticulture, Chemistry, Bot- any and-'Entomology, Veterinary and Animal Husbandry. The man who has charge of each of these divisions, is also professor of the subject in the College, thereby serving in a dual capacity, which arrangement renders the instructional feature of more value to the student than if two separate organizations were maintained. Considerable work in co-operation with the United States Department of Agricul- ture in the introduction of new fruits, grains, grasses and their improvement, has been done. which will prove of value not only to this state but to the entire Northwest. The department details two men to assist in these investigations. One is located at Brookings and the other at the state farm near Highmore, S. D. By growing the same crops in these two sections of the state it affords a better field for adaptation of new va- rieties of grains and grasses than would be possible with the one station, because the soil and climatic conditions of the two localities are quite different. The following lines of investigation are now under way in the different departments: In the Agronomy Department the work in crop rotation, which has been carried on for several years, is still under consideration. It consists of planting the same field to dif- ferent crops to notice the effect in yield per acre and the advantages or disadvantages in rais- ing such crops. This work is fully explained in Bulletin No. 79, which is free to all those who apply. In the Horticultural Department extensive series of experiments are being considered. Plant breeding is done along two lines: First, by selection from large numbers of individ- uals grown under the most favorable environment: second. by crossing and hybridizing with the best tame varieties, the object being to secure individuals combining the hardiness of the wild and the size and quality of fruit of the tame. About a quarter of a million seedlings may be found growing on the sixty acres set apart for this department. Many varieties of plants have been imported from foreign countries to use for- crossing with our native sorts, the intention being to secure improved varieties for our conditions. This fruit breeding establishment is second in size only to that of Burbank, of California. In the Chemistry Department the work is largely investigating the different wheats 18 Department g'Agriculture and Agronomy IAMES W. WILSON, M. S.

Numerous samples of wheat raised in different parts of the state have been analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Experiments have been made from the baker's standpoint, going so far as to determine the color of the bread and the nature of the Hours as to the sponge test. In the Botanical and Entomological Department considerable work has been done with forage plants, plant diseases and injurious insects. This department has ln charge the for- age testing station at Highmore. The Veterinary Department is experimenting with the diseases of animals. The Animal Husbandry Department has taken up the subject of origination of breeds, the best crosses to make under our conditions, and the feeding of grains and forage plants. The station publishes at least four bulletins every year. Last year there were seven published. There are 9,500 names onthe regular mailing list. This includes, however, the exchange of all the leading agricultural journals in the United States. Our bulletins are in demand from all parts of the United States and several foreign countries. Of the ninety- four bulletins published to date only thirty-four remain available for distribution, which shows that the investigation work of the station force is popular with the people. .

Among the means of increasing innocent pleasurable sensations and emotions for multitudes of men and women, none is more potent than the cultivation of the sense of beauty. Beauty means a thing enjoyable. It must always be something which excites in human beings pleasurable sensations and emotions. Beauty is infinitely various and it is onmi- present. It is accessible therefore to all men in all places and in all moods, and its infinite value for pleasure and content only waits on the development of the capacity in human beings to feel and to appreciate it. The professional art education must be left to the technical art schoolg the general training in subjects that develop appreciation of beauty belongs to the common schools and colleges. There are many subjects in a college course thatset before the mind beauty, law and order. An art department can take up those subjects that are directly con- cerned with beauty of line, light and shade. color, expression, technique, such subjects as drawing, painting, and the various crafts. I The students of drawing in this college study and seek to reproduce simple forms thus cultivating the habit of close observation of 11ature and laying a foundation for the knowledge of effects of line and light and shade mass. They have access to a good collec- tion of casts, copies of some of the best antiques, which is of value in forming an ideal of what is good in form. Through the use of color in the representation of form, and through the theory of color in design, an appreciation of color qualities and color harmonies is developed. The sky, foliage, flowers, afford endless pleasure from their color harmonies when once an interest in color is aroused. This pleasure in beauty of color and form affects the life of the individual and of the home. A refined color sense means simple and quiet clothes and pleasant, attractive homes. ' The various crafts give opportunity for mind and body to work together, for acquiring skill in the use of tools and for self expression. Wood carving, basketry, pyro- graphy, leather-tooling, each presents its own difficulties in teclmique and acquaints the student with the necessity for the adaption of design to material, and also with the charm of different materials. The construction and ornamentation of some useful and beautiful object develops judgment, taste, and practical common sense- The mind must learn to think clearly and the hand gain the skill to carry out an idea. K The study of masterpieces of architecture, sculpture, and painting, like the study of masterpieces in music and literature, must refine the taste and afford true pleasure. To become familiar with the works of great minds in all lines is the privilege of students. A brief .course in the study of art history is required of all students in the art department and a fuller elective course is offered. The Art Club is a voluntary student organization connected with the art depart- ment. Its aim is two fold-to promote the study of subjects related to art and to afford social enjoyment. The club membership is limited because it is the belief of the members that a small club can study and work together more easily than can a large organization. The line of study varies from year to year and is not confined strictly to the study of architecture, sculpture and painting, but includes also such subjects of general interest as pottery, rugs, and other minor arts. Appreciation of beauty is second only to appreciation of virtue, and the school must promote both. . ' if Sift, 71, ff 1. 21 K 1 3 '.'tsLi.fs:c'. :Ji 'qu ' Z ' .155 V 1 ff.. Department gf Art ADA B. CALDWELL MAUDE GODDARD Professor of Industrial Art Assistant in Art and Preparatory Departments 22 DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY AND ENTOMOLOGY. As a department in an Agricultural College Botany occupies an important place. All instruction in agriculture and horticulture is founded upon this science. The teaching of the principles of plant life and growth therefore occupies a fundamental position with reference to the other branches mentioned. In the South Dakota Agricultural College, botanical instruction is given in the freshman year of all courses. The study of botany has a scientific, an :esthetic and a practical value. In an agricul- tural college, the latter is placed first because of the various applications to which the subject may be put in practical agriculture. The other two aspects, however, are not lost sight of. This department as it is organized in the South Dakota Agricultural College includes 'the instruction in botany and entomology in all courses given in the college, the botanical and entomological research of the Experiment Station, the supervision of the Highmore Experiment Station, the botanical work of the State Geological and Natural History Survey, nursery inspection and the enforcement of all requirements of the nursery inspection law in South Dakota. The head of the department acts therefore in the capacity of Botanist and Entomologist of the Agricultural College and Experiment Station, Super- intendent of the Highmore Station, Botanist to the Geological and Natural History Survey and State Entomologist. Students who enter college from the high school often expect credit for work done in the high school. Occasionally such credits can be given, but generally the work in graded or high schools is of such a character that even though it may be of assistance to the students in carrying on college work it cannot take the place of any definite course in the college. The first year's work of three terms gives a general survey of the plant kingdom in the branches of Morphology, Ecology, Physiology and Pathology. In the upper classes special courses are given in Mycology, Taxonomy, Physiology and Botanical Microteclmique. In the several courses given the aim is to instill 'in the mind of the student an intelligent idea of scientific work. The laboratory is considered the workshop in which to develop the faculty of original research and investigation. Laboratory side talks are given regularly to explain the work in hand. Lectures and recitations are resorted to mainly as adjuncts to the laboratory. In the work of the Experiment Station attention has been given to the study of plant diseases and to the practical methods of the treatment of such diseases- At the Highmore Experiment Station a large amount of experimental work is in progress to test and develop forage and grain crops for drouth resistance. The past season about 21,000 plants of millet, 1,500 plants of alfalfa, 2,000 plants of red clover, 1,000 plants of brome grass and thousands of other plants were grown in the plant breeding plots where the individual plants could be observed and selections made for breeding purposes. The aim of the plant breeding work at the Highmore Station is to secure the greatest practical value and at the same time to learn as much as possible about the scientific side of plant breeding. The botanical work of the Geological and Natural History Survey has for its aim the study and cataloguing of the state Hora. No appropriation having been made for this work not much has been accomplished. In nursery inspection and the enforcement of the nursery inspection law all nurseries requesting it are inspected by the head of the department each year. egggggr 23 Department qfBotany and Entomology 'RG -wN'Ax 5' to A ' BE T U oi SM ir wi.

A problem which comes before every young man sooner or later in life is this: What will I take up as a life occupation ? It is a serious question and much depends upon its satisfactory answer. Will it be a profession-as the law, medicine, ministry or teaching? Will it be the arts-as painter, sculptor or author? Will it be more active-as the field of mechanics or the trades? Will it be near to nature's heart on the farm or in the field investigating the natural history and'philosophy of things? The answer to this question involves the young man's happiness and prosperity through life. The man who takes up a work, merely for the bread and butter there is articular liking for the work enters upon a period of mere drudgery, for uncongenial labor is that and but little more, but if he selects a congenial occupa- tion every day's work is a day of pleasure, his labor is sweet and his profits financially usually greater. Students attending the Agricultural College are peculiarly favored. They are placed where, while pursuing their education they may at the same time enter experimentally into the different fields of work, and so select the occupation. which they can see will be con- genial to them in after life. They can start their work and so be at least partially prepared to enter at once into their work. They can become acquainted with its scope and with roficient in their worldand so know better where to look for an opening when they are ready to enter into the active duties of the business. Pro- fessions, arts, agriculture, mechanics. electricity, civil engineering, business, all are laid before him in our curriculum for him to choose from and it would be a very peculiar student who did not find his ideal occupation in some of the branches offered. The latest department added to our curriculum is the Department of Civil and Agricultural Engineering for students to consider as leading to a congenial occupation and it has many advantages and fascinating features to offer. It is the acme of engineering work, much of it is outdoors, it is endless in its variety and it is so universally practical that it appeals to a great fvariety of individual temperaments and we wish .to oiier it as one line to be considered along with the other in the choice of a life occupation. From the beginning of our institution certain subjects of the civil engineering work have been offered, but they were classed as certain studies of the mathematical department. In 1902, however, the Regents established the separate department and Professor Crane, who had been teaching the subjects as Assistant in Mathematics was chosen as its head. A full course in civil engineeering branches was offered leading to the degree of B. S., the same as in the other engineering departments. It includes land surveying, both field work. theoretical study and drafting: hydraulics and its applications in water supply, sewerage and irrigation, road construction, applied to country roads, street pavements and railroads, all the mathematics, physics, chemistry and other scientific branches required in a full col- legiate course as well as one year of French. The Regents have very generously added to the equipment of the department till now we have about every variety of apparatus for teaching the work, including transits, levels, compasses. both ordinary and solar, a plane table, current meter and planimeter and slide rules for oliice computations. These instruments are not merely to look at-they are placed in the hands of the students who are given definite problems for them to work out with their use. They are expected to get field data from which to compute areas and plot fields to scale. They are given profile work and computations of grade, cut and fill, They are expected to be able, after their notes are worked up, to place the location stakes on the ground ready for the workmen to begin operations-in fact to do the work required in actual practice. It is needless to say that the students enjoy the work. It is a kind which appeals to them. Much of it is out of doors, it is highly scientific as well as practical. It is a study that at once leads to something tangible and practical as a con- genial occupation after school life is done- in it without any p those who are prominent and p 25 The students of the department have organized a Civil Engineer's Club for the study and discussion of subjects in their line of work which, though just organized, bids fair to be of much value to them in their work by giving a broader view of the field and creating interest and enthusiasm in the work. The department feels just pride in the work of some of the young men who have gone from the institution and entered this line of work. Two are employed in government work in the ,U. S. Geological Survey, one is professor of civil and mining engineering, three are at work in railroad engineering in the Eastern states, one is government sur- veyor on the new reservations recently opened up in Utah, and several have been appointed county surveyors in their respective counties. These are mentioned merely to show the opportunities which are offered for those who care to enter and are prepared. The depart- ment is better equipped than ever before to prepare you. If it appeals to you avail yourself of the opportunities offered and the department management stands ready to help you all it can in every way it is able. Ausrm B. CRANE, M. s. Professor of Civil and Agricultural Engineering 26 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCIAL SCIENCE. In discussing the work of this department it would be well to suggest the purpose for which this course of study is offered. At the present time we are experiencing an economic development to a degree heretofore unknown and our aim is to qualify students completing the full course to enter into this ceaseless fiow of activity, taking their places alongside of those who have attained success only after years of practical business experience. The work of the department is divided into two courses of one year each, namely- the Amanuensis and the Business Training Courses. The subject matter offered in both courses in the main parallel except in the former shorthand is given instead of business practice. In the commonly accepted business collrge course, essentially no prerequisite work is required, consequently one without preparation can take the teclmical work required to do ordinary office routine duties, but not having had the foundational training there is no breadth or depth of intellect upon which to build. What we purpose to do is to offer as required work those subjects which will not only have a money value to him in after life, but to enlarge the horizon of his mental faculties and thereby be the better able to enjoy and appreciate living- As an illustration of the thought in mind might be men- tioned the advanced subjects in Economics, Law, German, French and Latin. One of the chief difiiculties we encounter is that students are too ambitious to leave college to earn a salary before having covered sufficient ground to qualify them for life's duties and in order to encourage them to remain longer the graduation requirements have been raised to that of the Freshman year. thereby insuring at least a foundational training upon which to build future business habits. It does not follow from this sugges- tion that shorthand and business subjects are given a secondary place, but rather the con- trary is true. All phases of business activity are considered carefully and fully worked out and the student made thoroughly conversant with the same conditions he will encounter in the whirl of business life, but in addition we desire to create in him the power to look beyond the pages of a ledger or shorthand note book. We want him to enter life's duties sufficiently equipped in intellect and facility of hand to be able to exert his business energy economically. The clerks of to-day are the hustling business men of to-morrow, and as business principles become more complex and intricate so must the future business man's mind be more alert and highly developed in order to meet the new conditions. As a conclusion to the foregoing we might add that our constant aim is to give the student all the technical training, shorthand, bookkeeping, etc., he needs and as much advanced information as is consistent within the time limit. af' ARTHUR B. CROSIER Professor of Stenography and Commercial Science 27 - Q- ,.- DEPARTMENT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE. This department is not only one of the oldest in the college, but one of the oldest in the country, a fact interesting to note in tracing the development of the home economics movement in our schools during the last few years. The aim of the department throughout its history has been to turn the attention of our college girls toward the home. The training of girls in our colleges has frequently been criticized, and not a few parents have felt a hesitancy in sending daughters to college, because of a belief that the four years' training brought back a daughter who was not content at home, one who knew nothing of the management of the home, frequently one who prided herself that she knew nothing of any of the household processes or the materials which are handled every day in the home. In some cases this criticism proves true enough. To refute it, however, many good home makers may be found among women who have experienced this college training. College girls used to struggle to be admitted into classes with their brothers,-felt tl1at their school training must be identical, entirely losing sight of the fact that their lives when out of school are very different. If we believe that education should be a prepara- tion for life-for living-it is surely logical to believe that the sort of life to be lived should have a determining voice in the preparation for its living. The college girl need not feel that her mental capacity is questioned because she studies other subjects than her brother studies,-that she wants a training equally thorough and inclusive is quite right. There is just as much of life for the girl to live, and her opportunities for service are quite as great as her brother's are. It is not the intention of this department to train a group of people so that by their very training they form a class distinct and separate from all their fellow workers, peculiar unto themselves, the effort is toward a broad and liberal training. Occasionally expressions are heard which lead us to feel that the real purpose of the department is not under- stood by many people. We are neither training nor looking for housekeepers, maids or cooks as a result of the work here. We hardly feel that such training comes within the province of the college or university. We are working with college girls hoping to see as a result normal, ,well-developed, well-balanced women, with sufficient training and suflicicnt breadth of view to make them useful and happy, wherever their lot may place them. To many persons domestic science suggests a spoon and a saucepan, roasting and boiling, preparing and cooking of food after the most approved methods. If domestic science meant cooking alone it would occupy only a small part of the Held which legiti- mately belongs to it. Less than one-seventh of the total credits required for graduation in the domestic science course come from the department of domestic science. The departments of chemistry, botany, physiology and physics furnish the great elementary truths from which applications of peculiar import to the home are made- A girl who is accurate enough to make her determinations in quantititative chemistry, and careful enough to work out her unknowns in the bacteriological laboratory, has technique, appreciation of detail, and such unfaltering notions of cleanliness as will work good for any home. The languages, history, economics and sociology have a general culture value, as well as specific values which no one questions. The psychologist tells us that environment has a most important influence on the individual. Shall we be satisfied to read the statement in the textbook, and to listen while the enthusiastic artist tries to open our eyes to our surroundings? Has it ever occurred to us that a new piece of furniture, a new picture, or a new wall covering with all their posibilities of beauty and ugliness may be reflected in the family temperament? Believing that a knowledge of the mood value of color, and an appreciation of color harmonies should be cultivated for the sake of the home as well as for the enjoyment of the masterpieces in the art galleries, our girls spend a share of their time in the art department. The question of food is not what shall we have for dinner to-day, or what new dish for to-morrow. Do we know enough of food values to know whether we are sup- plying what is really needed by the body? The man who owns cattle for the sake of 28 r 9 fbi, producing beef for his own and neighbor's table looks very carefully after the feeding of his herd, understands the relative value of different food materials and studies how he may give them in a proper proportion, or as he expresses it, give a balanced ration. These matters are of great importance to the cattle owners and we End them discussed in their papers and conventions. How many mothers give as much time or thought, or have as definite a notion of the proper food for the members of their own families? This sug- gests a wrong emphasis somewhere and no one would question the attitude of the cattle owners. f Some people exist in this world, some live, some live more efficient lives than others. We are not enjoying our full privilege until we lead the most efficient life. How important a factor the home becomes in producing this efficiency, and how responsible the home maker, is a question which will bear thought. Unless we can differentiate between housekeeper and home maker it is not strange that we ask what college girls are study- ing in a course of home economics. With the thought of the importance of the home as a social unit the attempt has been made to make such a selection from the college curriculum as will render a woman intelligent on general matters, and at the same time, for the sphere which is peculiarly hers, give her the freedom and assurance which comes from a knowledge of the forces with which she is to deal. RUTH A- WARDALL, A. B. M. Emri-I THORNBER, B. s Preceptress, Professor of Domestic Science Aggigfqnt in Domestic Science 29 O DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. ENGLISH LITERATURE. The required courses of this department have, as far as possible, been outlined in accordance with the report of the Committee on Entrance Requirements and Courses of Study made to the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experi- ment Stations. In the preparatory department the courses of study seek to give, besides an acquaint- ance with a few English classics, a practical knowledge of grammar and elementary rhetoric. In the college department the required courses aim to give much of the work required for entrance to most colleges, and some of the work usually given in the Fresh- man and Sophomore years. The elective courses are arranged chiefly for those students whose major work is in English. These courses include the history of the English language and its litera- ture, also a study of the various types of prose and verse. Courses are given in Greek and Latin literature Cin Englishj Chaucer and the history of the English languageg the Elizabethan Dramag XVIII Literatureg XIX Poetry, and XIX Prose. In most of the required courses the student has kept before his mind those prin- ciples which he can utilize in composition. He is led to embody in his own writings the qualities of clearness, force and beauty in the writings of the best authors. The laws of thought association, which he discovers by analysis of paragraphs and compositions of good writers, he is required to exemplify in paragraphs and compositions of his own. Much remains to be done in this department before it becomes what it should be. At present the college courses in English are so disconnected and so scattered through- out the entire curriculum that it is impossible to obtain the best results. In conformity with the curricula of most colleges, the required courses in English should come chiefly in the Freshman and Sophomore years, instead of chiefly in the Junior and Senior years, as at present. The requirements in English for the degree of bachelor of science should, the depart- ment believes, be considerably increased. At least as many courses should be required of all candidates for graduation from the S. D. A. C. as are required from the best high schools in this state. . These changes, it is hoped, will soon be made in order that the work of the depart- ment may be more efficient. THE LIBRARY. Even in a teclmical school the library holds, and should hold, an important place- This is true at the South Dakota Agricultural College. To the department of history and literature the library serves, of course, as laboratory. To the laboratories of the chemist, the agronomist, the botanist, it serves as an important adjunct. The selection of books is entrusted to the librarian and to the heads of departments, who co-operate with the librarian in getting the best books really useful to the student or most suggestive to the instructor. Always the aim is to open to the student, as he advances in his investigations, a still wider vision. The library should not only meet the present needs of the inquirer, but should also hint at the broad world of knowledge and speculation into which the student is taking his first steps. The librarian regards his desk as a bureau of infor- mation at which he stands a living sign-board, as it were, pointing the way now to a volume of statistics, now to records of research and exploration, or to carefully elaborated theories, to a beguiling essay, or distracting story. Alike for the careful investigator and the casual reader does he point the impartial finger to the way of knowledge-as best he can. Beneath the sign-board exterior there lurks, however, the secret hope that for some he may add allurement to the paths of learning. If he feels at times that his visitors have need 30 of the blacksmith's help in deciphering what is written on the guide-post, he meets a fit rebuke as some more c weather-worn directions areful scholar points how dim or vague, how out-of-date, his As we cannot say all we would of the present material equipment of our library, its I .l apartments and furnishings, we shall take the privilege of youth to dream dreams an see visions of the future. In dream the library of the South Dakota Agricultural College is a noble building of simple yet dignified outline, quite in harmony with the purpose for which ' ' ' ' A to it was designed. The main entrance by a few descending steps of stone gives access lecture rooms occupied by the departments of history and hteratureg by an equal num- ber of aseendin steps to the reading room and librarian's office. Here the arrangement S of lights, the fit proportions of the hall, the balconies and alcovcs with their hint of seclusion, all tend to produce an atmosphere of order and quietg the air, savory of books, ' ' ' - . l-.' f is the best inducement to study, and research. 'lhe attendants desk, nem thc racts or newspapers and magazines, commands the entrances to the book stock and the librar- ian's office. XVithin the stack, accommodations are afforded to professors and others making ex- tended studies. Here, too, special facilities are granted those preparing for debates or other student centers. Above the reading room and stacks cozily sheltered immediately beneath ' ' ' b l l't . s ities as the roof are two charming halls, these haxe beeen furnished y tie ierary oce their own homes. Such are some of the details marked by the eye of the dreamer. Until his dreams are realized it behooves us all, librarian and faculty and stu- dents together to make the best use of our restricted quarters and limited resources, testi- fying by the use we make of our present facilities our fitness for larger and better things. ELMER K. EYERLY, A. M. WILLIAM H. POWERS, M. A. Professor of English Literature Librarian and Associate Professor of Eng'ish 31 iv I A - 5 r ff, 1- '.l'a 'fi' DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. Until the middle of the nineteenth century even the best American colleges usually provided for instruction in history by adding such work to the duties of a professor teach- ing some other subject, such as Latin or philosophy. American history and the political and social sciences had no place in the college curriculum. In fact, it is only within the last fifteen or twenty years that American history has been regarded by educators either as a part of a liberal education or as a subject worthy of scientific treatment. The idea of old pedagogy was that la liberal education could be obtained only from a study of the classics, and that strength of mind and purpose could only come from a detailed study of mathematics. The tendency in modern pedagogy is toward recognizing a similar or equal value for purposes of training and instruction in nearly all branches of human knowledge. With the advent of the modern sciences came the scientific spirit and the laboratory method. Gradually one branch of the instruction after another came under the scientific in- Huence, much to the advantage of its treatment in the class l'00l'l1. History and the politi- cal and social sciences are the latest subjects to receive scientific treatment, and are now demanding a place in the educational curriculum commensurate with their importance. The scientific study of history and the political sciences has now obtained a substantial foothold in the universities and colleges and is beginning to make some impression upon second- ary education. At the present time, highly specialized work in these fields is offered in the leading American colleges and universities- Separate schools of history and political science are organized in the larger institutions. The courses in history and political science in our own college are of necessity lim- ited in number and the work is quite largely elementary, yet the endeavor is made to so direct the work that the best disciplinary and culture results may be obtained, and that students may be better fitted for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. History is a subject unequalled for its opportunities of comparison, and therefore for training the judgment. The collection and classification of historical material and the criticism and interpretation of the same which follows make demands upon the mind fully as exacting as are made by chemistry or botany or any other of the natural sciences- From the standpoint of the social welfare, history and the political sciences prepare the student to deal with the present problems of society and politics. There are troublesome' problems involved in the conditions of life to-day. We must face them. In our great experiment in democracy we are proceeding upon the theory that the average man is not only patriotic and honest. but that he is a political expert. If our democratic institutions are to endure we must have a desire on the part of intelligent people to bear the responsibilities of organ- ized society. There is a call for greater intelligence on the part of the citizens than was ever required before. To fit for the responsibilties of the present, to combat the political pessimism of the day, nothing is more helpful than an ancquaintance with history and the allied political sciences. It corrects halfway views of human affairs and leads to rational conservatism, toleration and broad-mindedness. It arouses the interests of men in the duties and opportunities of citizenship. In the required courses in history as given at this college certain definite results are aimed at. It is expected that the student should have CID a clear outline of the period coveredg C2D a knowledge of the principal original sources, and some training in the use of original records, because it is a primary necessity in history to know the truth, and this implies that every student should see for himself how history is writteng C35 train- ing in handling secondary work with discrimination and ability to make an abstract ofthe substances of what he has read in good Englishg C4J a knowledge of how to make an out- lineg Q51 knowledge of how to use bibliographical aids and ability to take notes intelli- gently and last Q61 how to study two successive historical maps and explain the changes that have taken place. The work is so planned that the student may, if he desires, pursue a fairly continuous line of historical study in ancient and modern European, English and American history and in .American municipal, state and national government and inter- national law. 32 Department y'History and Political Science ALBERT S. HARDING, A, M. Professor of History and Political Scien CC 33 DEPARTMENT OF I-IORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY. Ninety acres of land are under the care of this department, which includes about ten acres of campus and ornamental grounds. In the class-room, greenhouse and grafting labora- tory the leading methods and principles of prairie horticulture and forestlry are taken up with special reference to western conditions of soil and climate- On the grounds are found twenty acres of timber plantations, several acres of apple and plum orchard and an immense number of fruit seedlings. In the work with fruit seedlings the number is now second in extent only to that of Luther Burbank of California. Several hundred thousand seed- lings of various orchard and small fruits have been raised at this station since Professor N. E. Hansen took charge of the department in September, 1895. Many thousands of fruit seedlings are discarded and destroyed by fire 'each year. Only the best few are saved. The work of fruit breeding corresponds to that of invention in the domain of mechanical industries, and in the words of the head of the department, inferior seedlings are simply the shavings in the workshop of an inventor. The peculiar climatic conditions ofthe prairie Northwest indicate the great need of hardier orchard and small fruits than we have at present. With a view to meeting this demand the various wild fruits have been gathered from many sections of the Dakotas, Manitoba, Assiniboia, and other regions of the prairie Northwest, and thousands of seedlings have been raised under .the most favorable environment with a view to rapid improvement in the size and quality of 'the fruit. In the course of a ten months' trip as the first agricul- tural explorer sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1898, Profes- sor Hansen secured much additional material from the arid and semi-arid regions of Eastern Russia, Transcaucasia, Bokhara, Russian Turkestan, Western China and Siberia. Additions are made to the list each year by several importations, in the endeavor to get anything new brought to light in Europe and Asia. The first fruit-breeding greenhouse ever con- structed was built at the South Dakota Agricultural College in 1901 under the direction of Professor Hansen, and here the ends of the earth, horticulturally speaking, have been brought together, and the crossing and hybridizing done under glass with a view to orig- inating new fruits combining hardiness of plant with choice quality of fruit. Already several choice varieties have beeen originated and ,are now being propagated for trial elsewhere. In fruit seedlings the quarter million mark was passed two years ago and there has been no time ffor a census since that time. As an illustration may be mentioned the experiments with the Sioux Indian sand-cherry common in the range country west of Pierre. In a plantation of over 25,000 seedlings of the third generation from the wild, seed- lings were found last year bearing fruit an inch in diameter and of good quality. Sev- eral thousand ,seedlings of the fourth generation are coming into bearing and over 70,000 sand-cherry plants are on hand at the present time. Trips of exploration are taken at intervals to various parts of the state in search of new material, especially in the range country from Pierre to the Black Hills- In the work of inventing new 'varieties of hardy strawberries, from 8,000 plants produced, by crossing the wild with the tame, some 225 plants were selected and given further field trial. The strawberry seedlings now occupy over three acres. None of these plants are ever mulehed, so they have endured 40 degrees below zero with the ground bare. In all the work with 'fruits any plant that does not stand this test is discarded as unworthy of further trial. Over six thousand plum seedlings have been fruited and some varieties obtained of extra large size and choice quality. Many strange hybrid fruits are coming on, some of them combinations never made before. In raspberries, the wild species from various parts of the Northwest, have been crossed with tame varieties, also thousands of pure native seedlings have been raised. 'A few seedlings have appeared as a result of the work, which are perfectly hardy without winter protection, and bear large fruit of good quality. In ornamental plants the main work has been in importing from many countries a 34 0 collection of over five hundred species of shrubs for determination as to their relative hardiness under prairie conditions. A single Howercd Siberian rose and the Dakota wild prairie rose have been hybridized with choice cultivated varieties in the endeavor to orig- inate choice double roses that would be hardy without winter protection. In the words of the head of the department: From the ashes of millions of seedlings will rise, Phoenix- like, the new creations which will dominate our future prairie pomologyf' Nu-:Ls E. HANSEN, M.

Mathematics occupies a large place in our curriculum for two reasons, either of which is alone a sufficient one: First, because mathematical studies develop habits of quick, accu- rate and logical thinking, second, because they furnish the tools that are necessary in the pursuit of the physical sciences. The importance and charm of mathematical investigations have been recognized by the scholars and educators of almost every civilization of historic times, long before any of the natural sciences had begun to take form, Pythagoras, Apollonius, Pappas, Diophantus, and others of the Greek schools proved mathematical propositions which are yet known by the names of these men. Mathematical terms derived from Arab sources are numerous in our text-book on algebra, the word algebra itself being of Arabian origin, and almost every student is acquainted with a score or more of names of men belong- ing to modern civilization who have achieved distinction in the physical sciences because of their powers of mathematical analysis. Mathematics was in its beginning pursued by the ancient wise men or philosophers because it offered a field for abstract reasoning. But with its growth it has constantly been an instrument which has been used in developing the physical sciences, so that at the pres- ent time one cannot expect to achieve much success in these lines of work without a math- ematical training. It is not to be wondered at, then, that we have more students than any other depart- ment of the college-more than two hundred in classes beginning with elementary Algebra in the preparatory year, and ending with Analytic Mechanics in the Junior year. A classifi- cation card without mathematics on it is not considered complete unless the student has passing grades in Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. As a result, the department often finds it necessary to call in the efficient aid of Messrs. Westcott, Trooien, Aldrich and others to help in taking care of the numerous classes. While astronomy does not offer to the general student anything immediately prac- tical in the ordinary sense of that term, in a broader sense and as a culture subject, it is of very high rank. Its discoveries, which include some of the most brilliant achievements of the human intellect, being interpretations of the grandest order of phenomena which are presented to the senses, have naturally done much to define man's place in the universe, and consequently to shape modern scientific and religious thought. In point of time it was the first of the sciences to be developed, and its principles are simpler than those of any other. During the last few years, its importance is beginning to be recognized in the high schools of this country, and we believe that it should occupy a place earlier in our scheme of study than it does. Our equipment in this work consists of a six-inch equatorial, a transit, a chrono- graph, and a siclereal clock. 37 Department ly' Mathematics and Astronomy GEORGE L. BuowN. Ph.

In order to overcome this defect, July 2, 1862, Congress donated lands for the cstablisment of colleges wherein military science and tactics should be taught in conjunction with other subjects, and to further encourage the project, the presi- l ized to detail to such colleges a regular army officer and dent was subsequently autior to furnish ordinance stores.

To give a symmetrical development of body, mind and soul, to produce public readers and speakers who shall be easy, natural, forceful, to enable its' students to adore whatever profession they may choose, to prove that we express no more than we areg to inspire a love for the best in literature, to watch how the best may be expressed. METHODS. The methods employed in this department are such as lead thc student to discover his powers, and to realize their fullest development by natural processes. Care is taken to unfold the student's powers of observation and imagination and preserve his individuality. The work of each student is carefully planned and systematized according to his needs. THE JUNIOR COURSE- In clocution covers all the essentials of a technical education for teachers or public readers. Topics: The three Mechanisms of Speech. Cal Respiratory, Cbj Vocal, Cel Oral.

THE SENIOR COURSE Is the perfecting of the Junior year's course by advanced practice, leading away from the general, to individual study, with the following additional topics, namely: Person- ality, Dramatic Action. Pantomime Life Study, rehearsals, with criticisms. Extempora- neous Speech, English Masterpieces, Bible Reading. ' DRAMATLC ART. These classes teach the careful staging of plays, the interpretation of different roles. the principles of stage business and stage department. PHYSICAL CULTURE. The instruction in Physical Culture aims at symmetrical development. The exer- cises given are in harmony with science and the principles of art, and the result of their practice is strength, grace and health. The functions of the heart and lungs are the funda- mental functions of the body. Upon them the welfare of all the functions depend. It is our aim to develop these fundamental functions, and we endeavor to attain this end by a series of movements of the voluntary system which shall be so arranged and exe- cuted as to bring about a healthy response between the muscles and the will. We strive to train the different organs of the body in a manner that may serve the great double purpose of promoting the efficiency of the circulatory and respiratory functions and of increasing the volitimal control of the whole body. Get the heart right and the lungs right, and the muscles will meet every reasonable demand- 'S ,iii-1-' ifblff D ,241-g,g9E.','j,cT 531 1 40 1- Department gfElocution and Physical Culture Mus.

The system used in this department is similar to that of the best conservatories, and is intended to cultivate in the pupil an intelligent appreciation of the best in music and to lay a good foundation for future attainment. Under the head of Voice Culture comes first, voice building, the right use of the breath, tone production, voice placement, and such work as will enable the student to sing more as nature intended he should. It is the desire of this department to maintain regularly a choral uniong the object being the study of choruses, oratorios, operas , etc. This gives the opportunity to the pupil of the voice that the band and orchestra does to the pupil of the violin or wind instrument. No real student of the voice or any instrument can afford to miss this ensemble work. An opportunity is given for those suliicicntly advanced to play in the band and orchestra. The band is maintained by the college without expense to the student, except he is required to provide himself with a suitable uniform. An annual concert is given sometime during- ie wi rendered, in an intelligent and pleasing style, a program of high-grade music. The band from time to time is enabled to take short trips, and is considered one tl iiter term, at which tin1e is of-the best musical organizations in the state. Jouu P.

An eminent educator has said that a person cannot really master the English lan- guage in any true or large sense of the word, without knowing something of other languages. As an aid to the mastery of English it is generally agreed that no other language is equal tothe Latin. A large part of the English language is derived from Latin words, thus making a knowledge of that language almost indispensable to an exact knowledge of English. For this reason Latin forms a part of nearly every course of study in our schools and colleges. While this is an Agricultural College, it aims to educate the student symmetrically, giving attention to those culture studies which make life more useful and more enjoyable. The object of the college, as stated in the bill which created it, is, without exclud- ing other scientific and classical studies, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts in order to promote the libcra-l and practical edu- cation of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. Accordingly this college offers a three years' course in Latin, two required and one elective. While this is not a very extensive course, it gives the student a good working knowledge of the language and enables him to understand and appreciate the many scien- tific terms used in all sciences. PEDAGOGY. In order that those who go out from this institution to take up the work of teach-- ing may be better prepared for their work, the department of pedagogy has been estab- lished. In addition to a knowledge of the subject matter to be taught, the teacher should be familiar with the principles that underlie all successful teaching. There should be a knowledge of the laws of the mind, of the capacity of the pupil, of the best methods of presenting the different subjects that are to be studied, also, a knowledge of what has been done in the educational world by the great' teachers of the past. This knowledge is to be attained by the study of Psychology, History of Education and Methods of Teaching. Accordingly, these are subjects taken up in this department as well as discussions upon different phases of the work of teaching. Short reviews in some of the common branches are given and suggestions as to the methods of teaching them are presented. .lt is believed that this course will prove helpful to all who expect to enter the work of teaching. 43 Department gf Latin and Pedagogy X. ,.-lm I R. B. MCCLENON, A. M., Professor of Pedagogy and Latin 44 DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY. The Pharmacy work at this college had its origin as a branch of the chemistry depart- ment. The first class to graduate. being composed of Messrs. Aldrich, Bentley, McLouth, NVest and Houston, received certificates at Commencement of 1890, The course of study was gradually strengthened, and in 1895 the first class 10 receive a diploma and the degree of Pharmacy Graduate was sent forth. Of the graduates who have received this degree. forty-seven per cent are druggists, seventeen per cent have taken up the study of medicine, and eleven per cent are divided among dentists, chemists and college professors. Of those who have taken the state board examination all but one are registered and all have positions. The object of this department is not alone to fit a young man or woman to pass the state board examinations, but to give him the foundation for intelligent, successful work in the store. The Pure Food and Pure Drug laws being enacted by legislatures ofthe various states necessitates a greater degree of teclmical knowledge in our plmi-ma- eists than ever before, and we are meeting this demand by courses in the analyses of these products. In case the student wishes to prepare himself for teaching the sciences in the high schools of the state, the four-year pharmacy course will prepare him for it as well or better than any other course in the college. It is very advisable that the gtudgut take this course, and about one-fourth of those who have received the Ph. G. degree have also the B. S. degree. Pharmacy is a profession, and the better educated the pharmacist is. the better able he is to meet other professional men on an equal footing. Bowan T. 'VVII1TEHEAD, Ph. C., M. S., Professor of-' Pharmacy. 45 PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. When the Agricultural College opened its doors in the fall of 1884, the preparatory was the only work offered in the institution. Students were classified in the preparatory work, and as soon as they attained a certain scholastic ability there were created the regular college courses, and promotions were made from the preparatory department. Prof. R. F. Kerr had charge of the preparatory work from the opening of the institution until the fall of 1901. when its management passed into the hands of R. B. Forsee, who has had charge of the work ever since. The work of the department corresponds to the work of the ninth and tenth grades in the public schools, and has for its purpose, as the name indicates, the fitting of students for their college work. It includes work in the follow- ing subjects: Arithmetic, Grammar, United States History, Bookkeeping, Practical English, Algebra, Civics, Elementary Physiology, Physical Geography, Elementary Physics, Rhet- oric. Geometry, American Literature, Carpentry, Free Hand Drawing, Military and Physi- cal Culture. The work is divided into two years, called at present the Preparatory and Sub-Freshman years. This department seems to supply a certain need in the institution, as is evidenced by the fact that there are more than two hundred students pursuing work in it at the present time. Candidates should have completed the eighth grade work under the state course of study in order to carry their preparatory work to the best advantage- The work is closely related to the work offered in the Teacher's course by the department of Pedagogy. and offers a splendid opportunity for one who wishes to prepare himself for teaching.

The department of Zoology occupies the second floor of the Station building, and consists of class-room, general laboratory, a small laboratory for bacteriology, a private laboratory and office. The department is very well equipped for a small institution, all necessary apparatus for carrying on work in General Zoology and Bacteriology will he found there. The department has a small museum of birds and mammals, and a very good collection of marine invertebrate forms. which are always at the disposal of the student. Besides the year's work in General Zoology required in the General Science course. a student may elect a year's work in Vertebrate Histology and one in Vertebrate Embry- ology. In these latter the student receives thorough training in Microteehnique, so essen- tial to a Zoologyist- The Veterinary Department occupies a building by itself in connection with which is a hospital accommodating twelve or fifteen patients. The Veterinary building contains office. class-room, private laboratory. dissecting laboratory and an operating room, the latter being equipped with table and other necessary apparatus. Besides ofTering courses in Veterinary Medicine to the students in Agriculture, courses are given corresponding to those in the best Veterinary Colleges. A student may elect work which will count for one year's work in such institutions. On Saturdays free clinics are held in the oper- ating room, to which attendance is required of the advanced students. Cases are assigned to individuals, who, under the direction of the head of the department, take charge of the patient. Very rarely is there any lack for clinical material. and a student will really have more clinical work here than in a large institution. Enw.-van L. Moons, B. S., D. V. S., SHIRLEY pl MILLER M.

After four years of earnest efforts both in work and play, years con- taining the sweets of life and omitting the bitters, years that have passed all too swiftly, the Class of '06 has stormed and reached the heights and borne off the much coveted prize-Seniorage. And yet as we look back to those days when we, as Preps, sat in the north end of the chapel and looked wistfully and longingly at the Seniors in the front rows of seats, wishing yet hardly daring to hope for that happy day when we should no longer be insignificant Preps but dignified Seniors, we feel that we have advanced, our ideal has not been standing still. In fact even the much coveted bald-headed row lost its charms long ago and was willingly given over to that elastic class, the whistlers. But in spite of our rising ideals the naughty sixes have never soared too high to thoroughly enjoy all of the phases of college life. Of course studying is and always has been our first considerationf ?j. Every department of knowledge offered at the S. D. A. C. is well represented by some member of the class. After text-book knowledge comes our interest in literary events and here it is that the naughty sixes shine. Four of our members have won enviable reputations in the inter-society debates, three have .proved themselves to be debators of no mean ability, while every Senior belongs to one of the literary societies and has done creditable literary work. These instances of the sagacity of the Seniors have not been related boastingly but for the sake of proving that in spite of the many 'class scraps, class doings, and athletic events in which our class has participated, in spite of all of these extras we have been conscientious students. As to the class scraps, they are so numerous and flagrant that only one or two will bear mentioning. Among the most exciting and successful of these fracases was the confiscation of the Senior gowns last year. This escapade was as brilliant as it was unexpected, and it was a sparse and sorry group of 'o5's that attended chapel that day. The sequel, being extremely personal, will be omitted. In class doings the present Senior class has always been at the head of the list in originality and number. We have had all kinds from the mid- night spread to the six o'clock breakfast. We have had them in every avail- able place from the physics laboratory to the creamery class room. VVe have banqueted the naughty fives and receptioned the naughty faculty. We have lioated our flag and flaunted our colors and not in one single event have we been thwarted, even though naughty lives, sevens, eights and nines combined against us, as they did at that memorable class party in 1904. Strange as it may seem, even the brilliant and talkative '05's had nothing to 66 say about what they accomplished that evening for the most heroic thing that they did was to offer a wee bit of resistance when they were kindly but firmly helped out of the door. Ah! but these class doings are what test the mettle of a class. But so much for the spirit of the Seniors, not for the brawn. In basket ball our boys cannot be beaten and two of our SiX-f00te1-S have made the first team. We will acknowledge, however, that we may need a little coaching in baseball, although we have an expert pitcher, also that we have just one football man-but he is a big one. But we more than compensate for these slight deficiencies by having in our class a shot putter that has won honors in state meets, and last but notleast, the best sprinter and broad jumper in the state. And these athletes are in the class at the present time. If we were to consider the flowery days when we numbered forty-four instead of nineteen,, and had twenty-live boys instead of eleven, we would name many more of whom we had good reasons to be proud. Oh yes, we are a small class, but a husky one nevertheless. In fact we have affairs so well in our hands at the present time that we almost believe that if it became necessary we could manage things very nicely at the S. D. A. C. and this without assistance. Our reasons for making this unparalelled boast are as follows: The Veterinary Hospital is run by a Senior, the Li- brarian proper is a Senior, several Seniors have classes with professional sub- ordinates, a Senior operates the complicated machinery of the Secretary's ofhceg the editor of the Collegian and five associate editors are Seniors, at the President of each of the following organizations are Seniors: the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Pharmacy Class, the Civil Engineering Club, the Oratorical Association, the Athenian Society and the Miltonian Society. Really the Seniors seem to be rather numerous when present writing summed up by what they do. But in spite of the dignity of the position and all of the attending privi- leges and pleasures the Seniors begrudge the happy days when they were happy-go-lucky Freshmen, silly Sophomores, or light-hearted juniors, and feel that they have passed all too rapidly. And we realize fully Calthough you would not believe it to hear us talkj that to be a Senior is but a step, and a very, very small one, towards that ideal of every American student-Success. B.

Now it came to pass in the first year of the reign of Sunny Jim, that is being interpreted, Chalmers, that a 111lllt1tl1dC were initiated into the tribe of Naute- sevn. 2. On the twenty-seventh day of thc tenth month of the year appeared a notice for a meeting of this tribe Nautesevn. 3. And this notice was written in a bold hand and posted in a public place. 4. And the tribe of Nautesix were sore afraid and feared many evil things. 5. Now the tribe of Nautesevn gathered with one accord into the synagogue to choose those who should be their rulers. 6- And a certain man called Acdillman was ordained to be their chief, and Edwin- rifhth his vice gift ' e if if 1' F S ' 5 Q All 7 I if 22. But when half way up they saw that which caused their hearts to sink within them. 123. The where with by which to mount higher had been removed. CHAPTER II- I. And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of 'Sunny Jim that the tribe of Nautesevn returned to the synagogue of learning. 2. And there was among them a certain man called Billcooley, who had great no- toriety and red hair. 3. The tribe spake among themselves, saying: 4. This man would make a great chief for the tribe of Nautesevn. 5. And with one accord arose they and proclaimed him chief. ' .. n L,Q.

And a man great in stature and pos- sessed with great strength, whose name was Grantmorten, was chosen sergeant at arms. 9. Then arose from the midst of the multitude a certain man, saying: Io. Is it not lawful that we adopt tribal colors? 11. And the chief answered him, saying: That which thou sayest is true. 12. And turning to the multitude he spake unto them, saying: 13. Choose ye at this time thy emblem. Purple and gold were the colors chosen. 14. They also chose one great motto: To be, not to seem. 15. Then departed they from the syna- gogue, for it was about the twelfth hour, and they had not eaten since the seventh hour. 16. Large and brawny were the men of this tribe, and they feared no man. 17. Neither gave they heed to the roar- ings of any tribe whatsoever. 18. One great gathering and feast had they during the winter term, and many also were the other occasions upon which this tribe did feast and make merry. 19. And it came to pass that they did raise a Hag high above the chimney. 20. And when the Nautesixs did behold this banner they were sorely troubled, and spake among themselves, saying: 21. This thing should not be. Let us now mount even to the topmost step, and re- move tbat which now disgraceth us. 4 sau it., if x I 1 if 79 6. Violagunnison was intrusted with the keeping of the records of the tribe, and Grantmorten with the pang, 7. And the tribe waxed strong, and grew in wisdom, being declared by all to be fifty per cent wiser than the tribe of Nautesix. 8. And they ate, drank, and made merry, for they had money to burn. 9. And according to their custom they raised their banner high above their Hag- pole Cchimneyj. Io. A certain man called Samnewton. from the tribe of Nauteate did shoot it down. II. And it came to pass, after two days and one night, that the various tribes were horror-stricken at the sight of another Nautesevn banner. 12. But no power on earth, save that which placed it there, could remove it. I3. But Prexy, seeing the consterna- tion that prevailed in the other tribes, or- dered it to be removed. 14. And it came to pass that he stood at the foot of the pole and ordered the banner to be dropped to him. 15. His command was fulfilled, and the glorious rag started on its downward Hight. 16. With outstretched arms he stood, but e'er it reached his fond embrace a man dashed between. and made away with the beautiful emblem. 17. This aroused the angry passions of Prexy, and he called after the young man, saying: 18. Stop, Mr. Corbing stop, stop, im- mediately. You and l shall abide to- gether no longer at this college. 19. But it did not come to pass that the young man stopped. and the flag was never again seen by Prexy. C n.x l 1'IiR 111. I. And it came to pass at the begin- ning of the next year that a new man ap- peared in the tribe of the Nautesevn whose name was Rwclliott. 2. And the tribe saw in him a great grafter. and straight way elected him chief. 3. And he spake unto the tribe, saying: Come, let us have a feast together. And it was so. 4. The tribe of Nautcsix were prudent, and refrained from monkeying, for they feared the Nantesevns with exceeding great fear. 5. And the chief called the tribe to- gether to complete their organization, 0. Icreich was chosen vice, and Mabel- binncwies keeper of the doings, and Stephenbriggs was elected sergeant at arms by an overwhelming majority. . 7. Then spake the chief unto the tribe, saying: It is meet that we should com- pile and publish an annual- 8. And after many days of careful con'- sicleration it was decided upon. . 9. A certain man named jrkirk was chosen editor in chief of this great book. 10. And for his right hand man, or as- sociate, chose they a woman who was called Misschristinechristianson by the consent of her father and mother. II. And, after many days of careful searching, found they a man called Wal- tersburch, in whom they intrusted the posi- tion of business manager. I2 For his assistant, a certain man called Arthurcclillman was chosen. 13. And now it came to pass that, at the pleasure of Almighty Purdy, the tribe was granted a room in the Experiment Station. Lt. Now the Xautescvns were hard feeders. and a great feast was ordered. I5..'Xl1Ll amid great fun and revelry, the annual was named the jack Rabbit, and the oltice the Hang Out. 16. Now when the second hour arrived, the tI'ibe did gather up their garments and depart from the Hang Out. 17. And many were the other occasions upon which the tribe of Nautesevn did spread themselves. 18. Now the tribe of Nautcsix planned and carried into execution a most wonder- ful and daring stunt 19. They spake among themselves say- ing: XVe cannot hope to mix with those big Nautesevns. but we are so light that we can beat them climbing. 20. Accordingly they acted upon the idea and risked life, limb and pursuit of happi- ness in placing their flag upon the top of the flag pole. 21. And, after finishing their marvelous task, they proceeded to their empty beds. 22. Upon awakening in tha. morning their hearts did beat with exceeding joy: 23. For they did behold a snow storm in all its fury. ' 24. They congratulated themselves, say- mg: 25. The Nautesevns can never climb the flag pole in the face of such a storm. 26. But the Nautesevns did proceed forth, bearing a fiery torch of destruction in their hands. 27. And straight way mounted they to the platform of the pole, and raised their instrument of destruction until it made the proper connection with the flag. 28. And the tribe of Nautcsix did wring their hands and tear their hair as the burning rag came sailing to the ground. 29. After these things the Nautesevns did apply themselves to the feeding of the Jack Rabbit. 30. And it came to pass that the Jack Rabbit was fed exceedingly well and great was its popularity. vu--xr 0 X, Ut..-.-ma Mvbl'f X: Xia. 7 ,W-r' Q AW. jf sin is.- uv I2 X Q r L le , in A xEl- lg ' Xkfhen lirst we entered college, XVe were sure as green as grass: ,-Xnd to our certain knowledge, XVe attended every class.

The proverbs of the Junior class Chief class of the S- D. A. C. 2. To give subtilty to the Seniors, and to the Whistlcrs knowledge and discretion. 3. Oh, ye simple, understand wisdom: Xlyvf .1 I seg, ' . f W .z of ' Qljgf 7-fl' O and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. 4. A wise man will hear and increase learning, a man of understanding shall at- tain unto wise counsels. 1.5. The fear of the Juniors is the begin- ning of knowledge: but fools despise wis- dom and instruction. 6. Seniors, follow not in the footsteps of the Whistlers, but hearken unto the reso- lutions of the Juniors, for they shall be an eye-opener unto thee. 7. Seniors, drink not the buttermilk when it showeth no color in the cup: . . . Y 8. For it containeth no nourishment, and causes indigestion. 9. Heed, ye, our advice: behold we will pour out our wisdom unto theeg we will make known all our wishes unto thee. 10- Seniors, forget not the resolutions of the Juniors, but let your hearts keep their commandments. ' II. Trust ye in us with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. 12. In all thy ways acknowledge us and we shall direct thy paths. 13. Be not wise in thine own eyes, fear ye us and depart from the creamery. 14. Seeth thou one of thine own aggre- gation wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a Prep than for him. 15. Be not thou envious against the Juniors, neither desire to be with them. Io. For their hearts study wisdom and their lips speak with understanding. 17. If thou faint- in the days of the exams thy strength is small. 18. If thou sayest, behold, we can crib 1 doth not he who giveth the exam con- sider it? 19. And he that keepeth thy record' doth he not hear of it also? And shall' he C is.. 82 not render to every man according to his works? eo. Seniors, study thou thy lessons with diligence, and CA'sJ shall be thy reward. 21. Heed ye the admonitions of the Juniors and be thou of an understanding heart now and forever. CHAPTER II. 1. Unto thee, Oh Faculty, we call, and our voice is that of authority. 2. Hearg for we will speak of excellent thingsg and the opening of our lips shall be right things. ' 3. For our mouths shall speak truthg and lies are an abomination to our lips. 4- All the words of our mouths are truth- ful, there is nothing froward or perverse in them- 5. They are all plain to him that under- standeth and right to them that find knowl- edge. 6. Hear ye instruction, be wise and re- fuse it not. 7. He that flunketh us, doeth wrong, and our love is absent from him. 8. Reprove not a Senior, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man and he will love thee. 9. Give instruction to a Senior and he will be no wiser: teach a Whistler and he will understand thee. 10. Speak not into the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. 11. Answer not a Senior according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 12. Withhold not the CA'sJ from the bald-heads: for they have been with us long enough. 13. As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth audience to a Senior. 14. He that sayeth unto a Senior, Thou art wise, him shall the students curse. Preps shall abhor him. 15. But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon him. The Old ffffmzg-ou! How dear to my heart are the scenes of the Hang-out, Wlieii fond recollections present them to view, The ceiling, the window, the pictured walls about, And every loved spot which the Juniors all knew. The chairs and the bench where the HJACKRABBITH sat, The text-books of the class that were used not a bit, And e'en the dirty six that always stood pat. S . L, L The wide spreading door and the Yale lock upon it, , : I if 19+ That canvas covered box we hailed as a treasure, For often times it contained grub for a feed, We found it a source of an exquisite pleasure, The purest and sweetest by all ltwas agreed, How ardent we watched it with faces all glowing, And quick to the table we'd all take a run, WVhen the chocolate cups were filled to overflowing, And Tuttle would announce the fudge to be done. How sweet from the bright sparkling pan to receive it, As held by fingers it started to our lips, Not a full ten dollar bill could tempt us to leave it, 'Twas sweet as the nectar which Jupiter sips. And now far removed from those dear old times of yore, The tear of regret does intrusively swell, As fancy reverts to memories we adore, And the dear old Hang-out that we loved so well. -R. W.

The Soph boys smiled, the other Sophs sputtered. That's true I know, for others have said it. , The notice meant that the boys should come And in a certain old room should meet. They met and didn't they make things hum All about a dance and good things to eat? They decided to hire in the Grand Opera House The room where the Redmen assemble, And to refresh themselves with-each Soph allows That this question made his brave QFD heart to tremble. What was the grub ?--just wait and you'll see. The looked-for night came and Sophomores too, There were frock coats so neat and dresses so dainty, There were a score and still the number grew. Until all were there except modest Mr. Wfeeks Who alone, all alone came quite late, He had no girl altho he has rosy cheeks, Which glow beneath a light towy pate. Cold was the room, but the stove and B's hair Which heated the air of the hall on the south, Soon comfortable. made them and glad to be there. And played the orchestra for all it was worth. They waltzecl and two-stepped and three-stepped away Till midnight came with its promising part Of what do you think? an ice, marguerites and cake VVhich Jerry helped serve with a breaking heart. VVhen each had his appetite, hearty, satisfied With these goodies-an ice, marguerites and cake, Up to the stove he quickly hied, For the ice with cold did make them shake. But oh, the energy of youth will out, So the music began: the slippery floor to feel, The rythmic step and the lusty shout Which accompanies each up to date UD quadrille. Again they waltzed, two-stepped and three-stepped away, Till, of the next day, two short hours had passed, Till all were weary and loth to he gay, Till Let's go home said they all at last. So with one accord into their togs they got, , And homeward wencled their way so fast fig' That the pace they set was almost a trot ' , At forty below zero and the dance a thing of the past. 90 1 Lil , Q? xf .-,- Jlfjktf gk 2, 9 .,-au...

And when they had all gone a little further they cast their winter cloaks from them and the girls came forth in summer raiment, beautiful and pleased twith themselvesj. And while the time at which the lights vanish was drawing nigh their Prexy hesought them all to take meat saying, This is the fourth hour that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. XVherefore I pray you take some fruit salad for this is for your healthg for verily I say unto you it tasteth exceeding good. And when it had thus been spoken, they took salad, and gave thanks unto the waitress in the presence of them all, and immediately they began to eat. Then were they all of good cheer and they also took some chocolate, fudge and dates. And they wereiin all in the gym. two score and sixteen souls. And when they had eaten enough they discovered a certain lateness of hour and imme- diately they committed themselves into their heavily lined garments and hoisted themselves homeward and to hed. And when it was yet the twelfth hour of the next day they were still there. Elf? Commercial COMMERCIAL CLASS. Class Professor .... ........................... OFFICERS. Jesse B.

After many hard fought contests extending over a period of six years the prize cups have been safely landed in the archives of the South Dakota Agricultural College, there to remain as a lasting memento to the pluck, per- severance and physical endurance of the members of the S. D. A. C. Athletic Association. It is surely a great honor to them, considering the very discouraging circumstances which surrounded the organization of the association and the result of the lirst contest for the cup, which was won by Vermillion at Brook- ings in 1898. The following year the cup was won by Yanktong in 1900, Mitchell was the proud possessor. The year following this, however, in IQOI, the Brookings athletes went down to Mitchell, captured the prize, and brought it home for the Hrst time. The year 1901 is the milestone from which we record our athletic superiority. It was in that year that Hayter did his great work for the S. D. A. C. From that 'year until this we have experienced nothing but victory after victory. Each year increasing our lead over the other members of the Intercollegiate Association until now we stand without a successful com- petitor in the state. The athletes we have developed here in the S. D. A. C. are such men as Hayter, Hoard, Shaw, Boyd, Smith, Seegar, Mathews, John- son, Binford, Ruth and Corbin. They could successfully compete with the best athletes in the NVest. Wfhen in IQO3 the athletes from the S. D. A. C. met and overwhelmingly defeated the champion Hawkeye track team from Ames, our joy knew no bounds. The prevailing opinion was that our track work had reached its high water mark, and when James Temple, the trainer and coach who had placed the track team on such a fine basis, left us so uncermoniously, many thought our doom was complete. But the calamity howlers, as usual, were again to be disappointed, for in the following year the University of North Dakota 137 had the courage to scalp themselves on the Stonewall of our victorious track team. With the scalps of Ames, Iowa and Grand Forks, N. Dak., track teams snugly tucked away under our belt, we have been flashing our bowie knife at Minnesota. They have showed their good sense by respectfully declining the opportunity to relieve us of our trophies. The University of South Dakota has repeatedly tried Qby every meansj to dislodge us from our rising pedestal, but as yet have not made much of an impression. We do not consider them of much account in track work, but we con- tinue to meet them, because it is an established custom and occasionally they offer us good practice. Most of our star men of last year are back again in college this year, they are Coller and Lockhart in the sprints, Sperb and Cooley in the long distance runs, and Reich and McCordic in the field events. They are a nucleus around which it is hoped to develop a team which will go down in history as the greatest team which ever donned spiked shoes at the S. D. AQ C. The honor of our successes lies not alone with the individual members of the track team whose brilliant achievements have won for them so many gold and silver medals, ,but to the officers and members of the association and to the citizens of Brookings a large meed of praise is due for the encourage- ment given the boys on every occasion, and all share alike in the glory of their achievements. . -4 N-x ,- . .asv M- -feq1g3m..,H..,.,.- t -:- - 'v.-,- 138 X .1 :ff ', - TTL'-Ei' '-1-if , '1 ----. f..'1.f-: .4.-. .- . - ' '.2r'-.',1',5f-.- ' -'-3.5 .'f,3I.Q:','5' if.ff.j5.1.fI35Zjf:- I ,- . , ' 5 ff, mm '- ' ' 5,fifQ51 :f7'-5:52 55:1-ffffff. . q f 1 'L'.q5,.',2 ' g' -' - .l': Q 51'x.-.'1-A- 11-:?P'ffff5:.:'1 - .A-- - - .' 157 .

D. A. C. has been for- tunate during the last two years in the hresence of a General Secretary. By the arrangement entered into in the spring of 1904, M. T. Kennedy of Illinois College, '04, was called to take up the work of State Secretary for the col- leges of North and South Dakota, one-half of his time to be given to the work in S. D. A. C. As was to be expected this arrangement has tended to increase Y. M. C. A. interest among the fellows and as a result the asso- ciation has begun to take a more prominent place in the life of the college. Especially helpful in this advance has been the possession of a new home. During the summer the bare and unattractive quarters occupied for a number of years in the North building were enlarged and completely renovated with the aid of paint and paper. NVith a new equipment of chairs, curtains and rugs the association now has a home at once commodious and attractive. The inauguration also of a policy of strong representation at the Lake Geneva Conference signihes a steady growth in association work. Last summer five men went from S. D. A. C., the largest delegation in its history, and enjoyed the ten days of pleasure and profit in that great gathering of 500 college men. Incidentally the S. D. A. C. delegation took an active part in winning for the Dakotas fourth place in the conference meet. The regular lines of association work have been followed through the year. The Stag -socials held at the beginning of each term have been well attended and have won for themselves a place in the college calendar as filling a distinct need in the opening week of school. Night groups for Bible study were formed in different parts of town early in the Fall term and con- tinued throughout the winter, with an enrollment of a little over seventy-five men. These little informal group meetings in the fellows, rooms are not a local affair, but are a part of the army of 30,000 college men throughout the coun- try engaged in the same study. The Sunday afternoon meetings have been larger this year than before, the average attendance being about forty-five. The special feature of the Winter term was the Mid-Winter Carnival held in the gymnasium. This was a decided innovation, and, with its voting contest, Dutch band and other attractions, scored a success. With the funds realized from the Carnival three delegates-two from the Y. W. C. A. and one from the Y. M. C. A., were sent to the Fifth International Convention of the Student Volunteer movement at Nashville, Tennessee, the greatest mis- sionary gathering ever assembled in the history of the church. Ten men represented S. D. A. C. at the State Convention at Yankton, and it is planned to send a strong delegation to Lake Geneva this summer. The association is progressing, but as yet is hut touching the fringe of its opportunities and field. It is the one organization in college which should unify all others and every student should find within it a place, where, for his own good and for the college, he can work together with all for the attainment of those things that upbuild and make for the best in student life. 166 p Q I X 5 .1 fl ig! A :QW Q 6, x X N 'lihc Young VVoman's Christian Association is an organization for the mutual benefit of all college girls along the lines of religious living and practi- cal Christianity. One devotional meeting is held each week in the Association room. These meetings are led usually by one of the girls, but occasionally by ladies of the town or members of the faculty. Practical work is done along the line of aiding the new girls, by meeting the trains at the beginning of each term, assisting them in finding rooms and board, and attention in cases of sickness. The Bible and Mission Study Classes are a great factor in this work, about twenty-five being enrolled in Bible Classes, and about ten in the Mis- sion Study. The benefits of this systematic study are at once apparent. There are three student volunteers among our number and the interest in mis- sions is steadily increasing through their efforts. The Association has prospered during the past increased and much has been done financially. We to send four delegates to the Summer Conference than had previously been sent by the Association. delegates were sent to the Student International Tenn., and plans are being made to send at least year, the membership has were enabled last summer at NfVaterloo, Iowa, more In addition to this two Convention at Nashville, four to the conference at XVaterloo next summer. The benefits of these great conferences can hardly be overestimated, both to the Association work as a whole and to our indi- vidual Association. VVe feel that our efforts along this line have been more than rewarded by the enthusiasm with which our delegates take up the work on returning home. r IA. lf A ix ,nv X 4' ,X 'f Q l if Q ' f . , , 1 .A A, 4 Yfi 'J' 4- ull' XJ 167 g?

Conlideutially speaking, it is mostly slips. This department is supposed to he funnyg we have tried our hest to make it so. lf perchance you run across anything that is not funny-laugh anyway, for if you laugh the world laughs with youg weep and you weep alone. Of course a person always wishes to weep alone. lf this is a diagnosis of your case turn to the eulogy on the Senior class and for their salces weep large briny tears, for in this world we die hut once.

I like the juniors all but one, who is a regular Butt-in- ski. I am not a flirt but I like to look nice and I always carry a looking glass and comb in my pocket. Contidentially yours, F. K. Dear jack Rabbit: I am a little girl who has red hair, but I like 1'ed hair and so do some of the boys, 'cause they told me so. I am very popularg I can debate and orate and recite and I am editor of our Collegian, which is an awfully good paper. I can go with any boy in college but there are only two or three that I really like. B. B. Dear Jackrabbit: I am a handsome little black eyed fellow, and once I had a lovely beard but I lost it one night. I like girls and fudge and the girls like me. I am a bright boy, and I can debate, once I won a debate. I am only twenty years old. I can't think of anything more this time. Goodbye, P. S.-I love flowers, especially Rosefsj. ARTHUR KOCH' My very dearest Iackrabbit: A I thot I would write a nice little letter to put into your new book. All the boys like me and all the girls are jealous of me because I have such a beautiful complexion, but you won't tell anybody that I got it at Kendall's will you? Every time we have a spread they put me on the refreshment committee because I can make such delicious menus. I'm very sorry I cannot write more this time. Yours most affectionate, P. S.-I am only 16 years old.--R. R. ROSE' Dear Jack Rabbit: I am very good looking but my forehead is wrinkled which shows that I am a very deep thinker and I have had troubles of my own. But I can sing so melodiously that I can banish the cares of others. I am really a second Prof. Mann. I am President of the Civil Engineers Society. Because I am so very precocious I have an excellent stand-ini' with the faculty. Yours, G. M. ALDRICH. P. S.-just as a joke let me add that I am an all-fired good fellow and the girls all like me, but I am spoken for. 170 The Jack Rabbit: I am a handsome young man, I am rather graceful and tall. I have a very acute sense of honor when it comes to note books. I am about the only mechanic and engineer at the S. D. A. C. The other boys don't know near as much as I do but some of them think they do. This is all I can write to you to-day. I must go and pull weeds for my mother in the garden. Yours respectively, ALFRED ERSTAD. ' P. S.-I could write a whole lot of other things but I must go and saw wood to help pay for that plate glass.-aje. Dear jack Rabbit: I am very tired this P. M. and my head aches but I wanted to do some- thing but I didn't want to study so I though I would write you a letter. I do not take part in athletics nor do any hard work because mamma said that all I could do was to get my lessons and go to the social affairs of the college. I never go to anything in the evening unless I have a nice escort and guess that's why I stay at home so much. It's very nice to be married and be queen in one's own home even if it isn't but a little cottage big enough for two. I am too tired to write any more and I must not think too hard for my head aches so. Sincerely yours, EDNA EVANS. Dear Iackrabbit: I room with dear Rose Reich, but they tell me I have absorbed some of her lively temper. I am president of the Y. W. and all the girls and some of the boys like me pretty well-at least I know of one-a big tall one in our class that does. I shall be very sorry when I graduate because then I 'won't be able to help the girls to be good any more. Sincerely, , ELLEN BROWNELL. Dear jack Rabbit: I am a very busy girl, but will take a little time to write to you. There is one boy that I like better than any of the others. I-Ie is in my Pharmacy Class too. ' I am very studious and work hard and Fm most always tired. I'm tired now so I wont write any more. Sincerely yours, GLADYS DAVIES. Dear Jack Rabbit: I'm not at all slow if I am a Senior. I study when the spirit moves me and play basket ball the rest of the time. P111 a good student and a good athlete and the youngest boy in my class. I am a good debater and never get rattled. Seniors, and things like that donlt get rattled. I never fuss and I think love is a delusion. Respectfully yours, FRED COLLER. 171 Dear Jack Rabbit: . I play foot ball, feed pigs, and make butter, I guide the Athletic Asso- ciation thru troubled waters and help run the Senior Class. To tell the truth there isn't much I don't do except shine in literary society and attend prayer meeting regularly. I must go down to the barn now so can't write any more this time. Yours, OLIVER GRACE. Dear jack Rabbit: ' Tho I'm a Senior I am a boy of sense and always mind my own. busi- ness. I am tall and straight as a sapling--and am pretty. I like nice clothes and am the best dressed boy in school, I wear the Hossiest neckties too. I believe in love and am engaged, some day I'll be a married man and then the girls wont like me as well as they do now. Yours truly, ROY BURGIAIARDT. My Dear jack Rabbit: I 21111 the most peaceable member of the Senior Classg there are only a few peaceable people in my class, the rest all quarrel. I do not think it is nice to quarrel. I never do anything that I shouldnit do. I can make angel food cakes and I like to read love stories. VVhen I .graduate I'm going to keep house for I am taking the Domestic Science Course. I - Yours truly, QIESSIE T. Dear Jack Rabbit: I am a Senior, and I am the biggest sport in my class, I don't like to study very wellg, I'd rather write ghost stories that -scare the girls. Some day lim going to write a book of stories and poems-like E. A. Poe did. I look just like Poe, I am sending you my picture so you can see for yourself. Yours truly, ELLERY CHILCOTT. Dear jack Rabbit: I graduate from college this year and I feel that I have done this insti- tution an unlimited amount of benefit. W'hen I get to be a foreign missionary of great prominence every one who has been or will be connected with this college will point to me and say with pride: She has attained greater fame than any and I go to the college from which she graduated. The 1V01l7lg girls say that I am too dignified and cranky but if they had undergone what I have and had all the responsibilities of the college to bear as I have they, too, would become earnest in their work. Yours respectfully, ABBIE C. Dear Jack Rabbit: I am a tall fellow with a manly look upon my face, my noble forehead is crowned with wavy hair of midnight darkness. I havn't lost my heart to any of the Senior girls yet. I don't take part in any thing requiring much time because my mamma told me I must study diligently when I went to College. I can think of no more to write for this time so I'll close with love to all from, WYLIE J. BARRETT. P. S.-I play ball with the Steam Wliistlers. 172 My Dear Jack Rabbit : I heard that some of my class were going to write letters to the Jack Rabbit so I thought that I would write one to let you know about myself. I don't know what to say because I am not president of the Y. WY C. A. or any of the lit'erary societies. I ,don't try to be popular with the boys and the boys don't try to be popular with me. Well I can't think of any thing more to say so I will close for this time. Yours truly, M. E. MOFFATT. Dear Jack Rabbit: I ani the best basket and foot ball player I ever saw, also the best looking fellow. I am afraid the girls don't think so, tho. I would like to go with some girlg my folks don't care. I am going to graduate this year. Truthfully, GUY E. YOUNGBERG. P. S.--You may think I never did anything but I have.-G. E. Y. Dear jack Rabbitn : As all other Seniors are writing short little letters to the jack Rabbit, I must write a short little one too and tell you that I am a hard working fel- low. I have nice short black hair and black eyes. I have not much time to write very much this time. I must study my lessons because I am afraid I shall not get all Ns this term. Oh yes, I am a graceful rollerskater. I have been here for about four years and not even tried to rollerskate before, I wish I had more practice. I could be a good skater. I am going to graduate next june.

Se'in as how Ruben's done school here in jonesville district I thot mebbe I'cl let him go down to the Agricultural College next year. So last week I went down to Brookings to see that ere College. I'd heard a lot about that school, but I declare if 'tweren't for I'd been over to the county seat an seen the big school there where theyive got five rooms I couldn't uv nohow 'preciated the college. An you wouldn't suspect how triiiin my ejication seemed when I got where I could look up and see the college. Why up there on the college hill-as they called it, there was a lot of bildins, an trees, and walks, and roads, an Iill be switched if I could tell which was the college bildin, but just then a little fellow come along. I knew the minit I set eyes on him, that he was a sunday school boy-so I sed to him, NVhich is the college bilding? an he sed, All them bildins are the college, an I just stared, for I couldn't believe all them could be the college. NVhy, there must have been well nigh a duzen. Then a fellow he sed his name was Bond, went on, an I thot I'd go to the biggest bildin first, 'twas a whopper, hilt of brick, I guess it was, with wings and cnpulas, I was standin there a wondering if they'd let me in, when a great big feller came rushin out, I asked him how I could get in the college and he sed, Get in on your cheek like I dofl So I went in. There was a lot of fellers standin around an one asked me if I wanted to look around, and sed he'd show me. XVe went into some of the rooms and I see lots of things different from what I'd ever seen before. I-Ie called the rooms labertories, and the students were just standin round tables playin with funny lookin tools and things. One room was a regular great big blacksmith shop and another was a carpenter shop an I swan if they wasn't workin away in them zif they had to, an a makin things out of wood and iron. I suspect that's what they call busy work. Then I started out an was goin to the next bildin when a fine lookin feller come up and sed that it was the botany bildin and nothin doin there, hut I could look thru the green hous what was right by it an then go to the experience station with him, so we looked at the posies in the green house which wasn't green at all but was glass, an then we went to the experience station. I didn't like the sound of that but didn't say nuthin. The room what we went into had long rows of tables in it and boys an girls were sitin round the tables and they was cats playin around everywhere. Pretty soon a little man with glasses on, who had been talkin, walked over to one side of the room and took a piece of black cloth 'off of some thing that was standin there an I'll be blamed if ther didn't stand a man with nary a bit of meat on his whole body. You can bet I got out of there lickety cut. I saw why it was they called it the experience station an I wasn't lookin for no sech experiences. 193 NfVa'1 I made up my mind Ql'd go to a long low bildin what stood right behind the one with the bell on it. NVhen I opened the door a smell whatlud raise the roof offen our chicken coop came out and liked to have knocked me over. I asked a girl what was stanclin there in a ragged black apron what it was and she gave me a stare one gives line print and sed, 'KUnknowns, I told her I'd make it a pint to find out what it was then. The next bildin l went to was a big whitish one, and as I was goin in I heard the most blood curdlin, hare splittin yells and poundins and thumpins, it sounded like a cluzen or more was bein murdered.i The way I got out of there and skeedaddled was a caution. The next place I come to was the gymnasium, where they was practicin all kinds of gymnastics. NVa'al next I seed the creamery and the barns, and there I seed a lot of young sprouts lookin like they belonged round this part of the country. One of 'em sed he'd show me the campus but I guess he forgot about it for we just walked around the yard lookin at trees and posey beds and things, and I didn't like to remind him fer I didn't want to peer like I'd never seen sech things before. Yes I tell you its a mighty line place down there with its big green yards and trees and llowers and orchards, a mighty line place but not for Ruben, fer he'd just as like as not get into that experience station bildin or those other places. No we'll never send our Ruben off to get any of that 'er higher ejication if I have my say. i'2.fQ'f-Wi? 5,2ff 'QZff7ff 4.1 f' J : ' XJ 100 The Jack Rabbit You folks what's here in Brookings to tend S.

QMiss C. recitesj Uncle J.: That's right, now you will be surprised how much carbon you can get from a little sugar: once I performed this experiment before a far- mer's institute and after the meeting I heard two farmers talking, one said: 'Say what do you think about all that carbon that man got from that sugar,' and the other said: 'Now don't you believe all you see, that fellow was smooth I tell you, he had something up his sleeve.' he-he-he-he-lie.

QThe class passes out.j 202 N The Jack Rabbit Den Now come with me if you please to the college on the hill, And climb with me to that dear old 1'OO111 which eager Juniors fill, just take a chair by the window and watch the people below. Until I've hidden their coats away to pay them for being so slow. This old room's experience, tho' short has been varied and deep, For it is a kind of treasury all secrets safe to keep, Yes, it is steeped in mysteries, just saturated thru and thru, Its furniture tho, meager, savors of romance too. It isn't large or elegant with paintings on the wall, Yet in spite of its inconveniences it is kind of dear to us all, And clearer and almost sacred its every nook will seem When life from this gushing current has become a steady stream. We'll amuse ourselves watching them enter one by one, Some of them walking slowly, others on the rung And now it begins to get noisy, few quiet ones you'll see, Morton pulling his whiskers and Dillman and Tut'l make three. Now in comes a gay, breezy fellow, Steve Briggs, with a laugh and a jest And behind him cheerful A. Dutcher, as usual he wears a white vest, And look at the others who are coming, there is getting to be quite - a train, - There's Reich the football giant, yes he's a little vain. just notice those by the table, that intellectual group, And don't beshocked by the slang to which Ross Elliott will stoop, For you see he is very witty and for his fault he offers a cure. On his forehead is written origiizcrl, and below it is literature. The others are Kirk, the editor, he with a merry face, And besides him Burch our business man, no one could take his place, And there are many others, too numerous to name, 'l'here's B1'uce Elliott and Cooley, who are always in the game. And Cecil Salmon, who debates, likewise McCorclic too, And then a Hock of merry girls, and now I think we're thru, But some day across wide years we'll hear again these sounds, As in memories we climb the stairway with a rush and push and bound. --G. U. 203 At midnight in his soft warm bed, A Senior lay dreaming of the hour When Freshmen, Sophs and juniors all Should tremble at his power. In dreams he was a great man now And looking back to his college days He could dimly see thro a misty haze The time when the Juniors got the craze For stealing caps and gowns. In dreams he foiled their every plan And oh, he was a mighty man. An hour passed, the senior woke His happy dream was o'er. He knew his cap and gown were gone And oh, he did feel sore. THE FLUN K. F lunk-F lunk-F lunk Ah, tis such a bitter pill, But I ne'er can get these lessons, And so Iym llunking still. Oh well, for the fellow who'll grind, And study the whole of the day, But for me, there must be fun, Oh give me the life that is gay. The stately Seniorspass along, To graduate when the June days come, But oh, for me, I'm always here, Because I'm so confounded dumb: F lunk-F lunk-Flunk At the foot of my class I'll be, For the chances to pass in the days that are gone VVill never come back to me. 204 Autobiography 0 a Pair 0 Rubbers' Wlieif first I opened my eyes to the light of day I was in Boston, Mass. Everything looked so strange that I became terribly frightened and came near going into hysterics. I saw long creatures moving about carrying things from one place to another and I wondered what it all meant. Hardly had I recovered from the first shock when I was roughly picked up, packed into a large box with'a great many of my brothers and sisters, and shipped to Brookings, South Dakota. I made my home in Co1e's Shoe Store where I remained closely confined to my dark evil-smelling abode. Pair after pair of my companions were taken from the box and carried out into the big, bright world, but I was a pair of number twelves and no one seemed to want me. I had given up all hope of ever getting out of my dark resting place when a big, green looking fellow picked me up out of the box and began looking me over. I-Ie bent my back until I feared that it would break, but I did not cry for fear that I would be thrown back into the box. I-Ie seemed to be pleased with me and bought me. My joy knew no bounds, for now I was going out to see the world. But alas! my joy was turned to grief, for I soon discovered that my master was a whistler. I-Iis clothes were dirty and his hands and face were greasy. I was ashamed to be seen with him. One night he wore me to a faculty reception, where I was placed side by side with a lot of other rubbers. The pair that stood next to me knew that it was a whistler that brought me there and told a lot of the o-ther rubbers and they began to josh me. I got fighting mad but that was all the good it did me, for they plagued me all the more. After what seemed hours, and they were hours of misery, I heard a big noise and was afraid that the building was falling down, but soon saw that the reception was out and the people were getting ready to go home. A slow, sleepy looking fellow came along and put me on his feet. I knew that he was not my master, but I kept my mouth shut for I would sooner go with him than be seen with that whistler again. I soon made the discovery that it was a professor who now owned me. I-Ie wore me for two or three years, and completely wore my bottoms off. Then he put me into a box in his woodshed where I remain inactive 'to the present day. Yesterday I heard him tell his wife that he wished a rubber man would come along for he felt reasonably sure that he could sell me for three cents. R. E. 205 REVERIE. Sometime we will long for the college days Wfhen we have entered life's puzzling maze, Sometime with a thrill of passionate pain, We will long for these problems over again. Sometime we will hear in the silence alone, The professor's voice, that familiar tone, And questions that only to us were given, Reminding of work and how we had striven. Sometime we will give all of this wide world's For one of these vanishing college days, For just one hour like those we spend now, Sometime we will long for it-why not now? THE YELLS. Hear the noisy rooters' yells-barbarous yells, praise What a tale of struggling their turbulency tells, On the startled air they fall, How they bawl, and scream and call, Too excited they to speak. They can only shriek and shriek-out of tune. In the clamorous howling to the players on the field In loud shouts of exaltations when the players do not yield Growing liercer, louder, stronger, When the players stand no longer, VVhen they resolutely endeavor Now to hold their own or never, And in the face of obstacles to win. Oh, the yells, yells, yells, What a tale their music tells--of support. How they bawl and squall and roar, Wliat a comfort they outpour On the bosoms of the weary struggling team, And the crowd it fully knows By the howling and the yowling How ,the game is going to go, For the ear distinctly tells In the jangling--and the wrangling How their spirit sinks and swells By the lowering or the swelling Of the yells, , Of the yells, ' Of the yells, yells, yells, yells, yells, yells, yells, L In the rising and the Swelling of the yells. 206 A Day at the College In the early morning, when the Howers are still wet with dew, and the air is laden with the sweet perfume of blossoms, While yet the noisy mob is wrapped in slumbers, and the long shadows linger lovingly on the campus as if loath to break away, then the sleepy freshman with empty head, carrying his books and all the knowledge there, under his arm, slowly ascends the hill. A little later the figure of a man is seen rushing along-he drops his dig- nity, he races. No, he is not trying to create a breeze, it is simply Prof. --, ten minutes late for class. - At eleven-thirty forms may be seen issuing forth from every building and forming a vast mob, which wends its way chapelwardg for ten minutes they stream by, then the campus is again deserted. About two o'clock, when all should be at work, a girlish figure comes forth from Central building, joins a tall auburn-haired fellow and together they stroll across the campus. On the front steps of Central sit another couple deep in conversation and utterly oblivious to all, save each other. Soon co-eds begin struggling by, and giggle as they pass them. Co-eds always giggle. In the evening when all is quiet the shadows on the grass shift strangely, the moon comes up and lights up the countenance of the blue sky. 'Tis now mysterious figures may be seen moving among the checkered shadows of the wayside trees. You will see a big athletic fellow and a maiden fair come aimlessly up the walk. The moon considerately creeps behind a bank of clouds, letting a silvery light fall on the scene. They pass on, we know not whither, perhaps to the society hall in the North building. Others come and go, they wander around and up and down and dis- appear again. Finally we are constrained to move onward, the hour is late, the last of the stragglers has gone-even the moon has dropped from sight behind the hill, and another day is ended. WD? - 5 .qs y gf. -.. W p , , 207 The Bachelor He is an old man now, lonely and unlovedg he lives alone in the great house, for he has prospered. At evening when the business of the day is over, and the great hurrying world is shut in for the night, he often sits thus, gazing into the fire, 'tis now he feels the greatest loneliness and sense of something lacking in his life. But thus his chosen estate-the realization of his fondest dreams. He sees now why Providence in its wisdom seldom allows men to realize their dearest dreams, and knows that when they do they must pay the price. That a reaction must follow close upon dreams come true. On this evening as the dancing Haines from his cheerful hearth throw shadows upon the walls, his thoughts revert to his happy college days. Again the girlish faces come before himg he is not so harsh in his judg- ments now as theng but immediately they pass from view. Now it is Com- mencement time-he strolls around to bid farewell to the many haunts that shall soon know him no more-he is thinking of the stupid world, then so blissfully unconscious of the genius so soon to burst upon it. He sees dimly the grave alumni toiling up the hill and the throng that hurries from building to building. He wanders from the study to the hal- lowed precincts of the library. Then seeks the solitude of the orchard. Be- fore him stands the most beautiful girl in the world, the graceful folds of her black gown envelop her completelyg and her glorious head is crowned with a black cap. I-Ie sighs deeply in his sleep-the Hre in the grate crackles, bursts into a flame-and goes out. I-Ie awakes with a start as the clock strikes midnight- the desolation appalls him, he sighs again and ascends the stairs. I 2 - if Q . iiXT'.3lL M i iilimv w Ili! ,s 4 f 208 The Early Chapel Rhetoricals Two of the essential features of the college life of the days when the world was still young to most of the present students, were the daily chapel exercises and the Chapel Rhetoricalsf' - The daily chapel exercises was held the first thing in the morning, about 8 :3o, in the present chapel, then known as the new chapel to distinguish it from the old chapel, which comprised the space now occupied by the library and reading room, which was in one large room. . Attendance at this exercise was not compulsory, but it was attended by 95 per cent of the students with great regularity. The program was begun by the singing of a hymn by the students, led by a choir selected by the pro- fessor of music, then a reading of scripture and prayer by some member of the faculty, announcements for the day by the president, another hymn and dis- missal. In those days the long vacation of the year came between December first and the last of March, so that self-supporting students could teach a term of winter school in the long vacation, and help the home harvest during the short vacation, usually the month of August. This arrangement of the school year, together with the agricultural de- pression which existed in the West at that time, gave us an unusually large proportion of self-sustaining students. I do not think it would be an exaggera- tion to say that at least S5 per centt of the students of that time, both men and women, were earning their own expenses, or at least a large part of them. The amount of money available at the college for student labor was not large and there were always more applicants for work than the departments employing student labor could use. It was customary for the student when enrolling at the office of the President Qwho was also Registrarj to say whether he wished to labor, and if he did, whether he preferred the agricul- tural or horticultural department. His name was added to the list desired and as the head of the department decided what number of boys he could use each day he checked that number off his list, beginning where he left off the day before, and handing the names of the students wanted to the President before chapel. XVhen the proper order of business came the lists were read, and that was the only notice given, so that there was an economic as well as a devotional incitement to regular attendance at chapel, such attendance being necessary to make satisfactory connection with the pay roll at the end of the month. But the faculty kindly provided still further inducements, of a literary character. It was believed at that time that it was desirable that all educated young people should be able to stand, unterrified, before their fellow creatures, and express their thoughts upon any familiar subject in ready, vigorous and exact English, and to contribute to the practice necessary to bring about this result it was ordained that each Junior and Senior should present an essay or oration publicly during each of the three terms of the school year. It was pro- vided that the graduation thesis of the Senior should take the place of his last term's rhetorical. Most of these rhetorical exercises were essays, read from manuscript. A few of them were committed to memory and delivered as orations. Some 209 were argumentative, some were narrative, some were original and some were of more or less prominently encyclopedic origin. Many of the students, espec- ially those who, from timidity had failed to ally themselves with a literary society, made their first public appearance under this requirement, and even the inured literary society worker approached the college rostrum with a respect born of the recognition of its dignity. It was the good fortune of the writer to be the college reporter for the Brookings County Press from the summer of 1889 to the Commencement of 1891. During this time the subjects of the chapel rhetoricals were reported weeklyg and it may be of present interest as well as a desirable preservation for the future to record them here. Certainly all of the old students will be glad to recall many half-forgotten memories by looking over the list, and later students who read it will gain a better appreciation of early college life.

If it stimulates recollections which may lead the old student to take a livelier interest in his alma mater and to resolve to meet his old friends yearly at Commencement time it will have paid amply for its preservation and repro- duction at this time.
