ilibe South aitnta State nllegs an act of Congress in 1862, every State was given a tract of i' Avlis land for the maintenance and support of at least one College of which the object was to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts. In compliance with this act the territorial legislature of 1881 passed an act estab- lishing an Agricultural College at Brookings, in the territory of Dakota. If ln 1884 the first building, now known as the Central Building, was built. 'l'his building was intended asa wing for a larger structure which was to be built when needed. But the original plans of the designers were never carried out, and, instead, buildings were scattered all over the campus leaving old Central in its present half finished condition. The Morrill Act passed by Congress in 1890 provided a yearly appro- priation for the more complete endowment and support of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts . Under this act the College now receives from the general government the sum of 325,000.00 per annum. 'l'he Experiment Station was organized under the Hatch Act, of Congress. which provided for the establishment of agricultural experiment stations in connection with agricultural colleges, and allows 815,000.00 per year for the maintenance of the same. The Adams Act, passed by Congress in A1906, increased the annual appropriations to agricultural experiment sta- tions. In planning the work of the Station the main object sought is to assist the 'agricultural interests of the State. A constant effort is made by the col- lege to reach the masses of people in the State and interest them in the application of science to industrial pursuits, and in the more general im- provement of their home life and every day activities.
