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:

Outstanding South Dakota historian, H. S. Schell is leader of State University graduate stu- dents. A stiekler for accuracy, whether theses be on science or art, he gives his careful consid- eration and attention to each. Serious-minded graduate students come to the U, the only educational institution in the state to have a graduate school, to obtain their mas- ters' degrees. Two types of graduate work are offered i11 27 fields: intensive study in teaching specialties to meet the needs of the educational system of the state fob' teachers trained beyond undergraduate courses, and general training solely for adlninistrative work. Graduate School Most graduate students come to the U for the summer session and go back to other jobs throughout the state in the winter, conduct or- iginal investigation and research on special problems in their individual fields, do most of their worrying about a comprehensive thesis, which is required for all graduate degrees, oc- casionally contribute valuably toward enlarging the knowledge of the field in which they are interested.
