Correspondence courses have been conducted and during the year' 1915-16 one Extension Center for regular classivorla was maintained in Pierre. ln addition to this regular class work, a ve1'y large number of extension lectures and commence- ment addresses have been given, principally by Dr. XV. 17. jones, Dr. Craig S. Thorns, Professor Rossiter I-loward, Professor liva R. Robinson and h'Ir. Archie llrl. Peisch. During the summer and early fall of 1916, twenty-one applications for extension centers were received, but it was found advisable to grant but live of these requests. As soon as funds become available other centers will be established. At present the five centers now in operation have 150 students enrolled for courses in Education, Spanish and German. During the last tivo years the University has acted as agent in South Dakota for the Bureau of Commercial Economics, of lVashington, D. C., in which capacity reels of educational films have been distributed to high schools, xvomen's clubs and other organizations of the state. , 1-K ...

S x m sxxxxxx K W xm X Uhr ifluinnrsiig anh Zltz Elliurke-Olnntinurh recommended to the legislature of 1917 that 3I25,000. be appropriated for a women's building, equipped for the housing of the department of home economics, and a much needed gymnasium and dormitory rooms. The money has now been appropriated, and the building will be erected and probably ready for use at the beginning of the next school year. NEW DEPARTMENTS ' The departments of Journalism, Fine Arts, and Commerce and Finance, which were established in 1915, have been justihed by the number of students taking the courses offered by them. A course in embalming was established in the spring of 1916, which had a small attendance, but it will be offered again in 1917. The De- partment of the Romance Languages and Literature is now a separate department and it is possible to elect French as a major subject, with Spanish, and possibly also Italian as a minor. The Department of Economics and Sociology was expanded in 1915 by the creation of a professorship of applied sociology, the Department of Htme Economics by the addition of an instructor. This latter department has far outgrown its quarters in the new Chemistry building, which was used for the hrst time in the fall, of 1915. REGISTRATION or STUDENTS During the thirty-fourth year of the University, which closed June 15, 1916, there was a total enrollment of 683 students. The spirit of confidence in the State University is eoncretely expressed by these hgures since they are an increase of 65,1 over the largest attendance the institution has had since its establishment. At the graduating exercises of this year seventy-five degrees were conferred, one of them being a Ph. D. degree, the first doctor's degree to be given in the history of the Uni- versity for the completion of a regular course of study. At the end of the hrst semester of the school year 1916-17 there were 764 stu- dents enrclled at the University, a gain of S1 over the hgures for the whole of the year 1915-16. Of this number 543 were resident students, 139 were taking exten- sion work, and 82 were enrolled in the summer session. For many years fifty new students have been enrolled at the beginning of the second semester, and this year should be no exception. If such is the case the total registration for the 'year 1916-I7 will be 814,-almost double the largest student body ever enrolled at the Uuiversity, previous to 1915-16. There is no reason why this figure should not reach the one thousand mark in another year or two. Y 20 Qemawxxxx M xm w,ssx m smsxxxxx wmxx mx XX s f NN swwmxw NNW mwwx Wessex 9 E Ng m ' Ns Q X.
