XVell-equipped laboratories, libraries, and an extensive supply of modern apparatus furnish these seientihcally-ininded medics the wherewithal for probing further into any phase of medicine which particularly fascinates them. However, the true test of our ine med school is the quality of grads that leave here. These grads are placed insuch schools as Northwestern Uni- versity, Washington University, St. Louis Uni- versity, Creighton, Johns Hopkins University, Long Island University, and Vanderbilt Univer- sity to finish their work and receive their degrees. 5

This, however, is not all. Students in the school of education have an opportunity to meet any number of school administrators and em- ployees. Through the 'IT's bureau of teachers appointments, over 90 per cent of the education students each year are placed in towns and cities in this state and others.

Nationally known and respected, judge-like lVIarshall M. Mcliusick holds a. record for perfect attendance at work and 15 wins on the kitten- ball diamond, and is proud of the prominent bar- risters he has graduated from his School of Law. NVith a flash of derbies and the click of canes, the senior lawyers are on parade. Conforming with U tradition, each year the senior lawyers conspicuously display themselves on the campus with derbies and canes. Most of them slightly proud and haughty, they give the impression of being self-confident, and carry an air of glad-to- be-one-of-the-lea1-ned class. The Law School at the State U was established in 1901, and since that time 763 lawyers have gone out into the world to help shape the destiny of our lives by taking an active part in governmental affairs. In this particular state, 60 per cent of the 64 I School of Law states attorneys are graduates of this school, and in a short time the majority of the practicing lawyers in South Dakota will be graduates of our school. The reason that so many students practice in this state is that during their work here they have the opportunity to gain an intimate knowl- edge of the administration of the law of this state, and the doctrines which are peculiar to the jurisdiction of South Dakota. Also, this school can boast ot fine alumni contacts which are of great value if the student has political aspirations or is in doubt where to practice. dig its c -off ll:
