President 9. Week Dr. I. D. Weeks has served as President of the University of South Dakota for fifteen years. After graduating from Nebraska State Teachers College with a B.A. degree, he worked for h ; s master ' s degree at the University of Iowa. Later he did graduate work at the University of Min- nesota and received a Ph.D. The honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Dakota Wesleyan University at Mitchell. When asked about his hopes for the University, President Weeks said, I feel that a small University has just as many advantages for the student as a large one. Although we have the or- ganization of a large university, we can give attention to the individual student, who is able to enjoy personal contact with his instructors. I would like this University to be known chiefly for its fine teaching. ' ' Besides being an excellent educator, Dr. Weeks has many outside interests. The most important of these s his interest in horses. Riding is his principal hobby, and he always has at least one saddle horse in his stable. 15
