The building is 50xl10 feet on the

FIVE HUNDRED IN LINE.
The S. D. A. c. Students March Down
to the City Enmasse.

On Tuesday after chapel exercises
the Agricultural college students over
500 In number marched down town
headed by the college band. 1t was
sight which would thrill the average
citizen with pride and on every hand
was heard the remark: "Is it possible
that all these young men and young
women are taking studies at the COL
lege? Yes, and these did not represent
what the college actually means to the
city. There are at present In attend
ance 5l0students. Then there comes
the faculty numbering about thirty
instructors.
DR.. Heston and his able corps of CO.
workers may we'll feel proud of the
school. Every term shows an increase
In attendance which is surprising even
to those who are best acquainted with
the progress OF the school,
Without the new buildings which
have recently been erected many Of
the students would have been crowded
out. As 1t is the FACULTY has been
obliged to divide the students at
chapel,a portion of them holding exer-
cises in the old mechanical laboratory.
The next legislature will be called
upon to enlarge the chapel in order to
meet an absolute demand for more
room.
No wonder people are being at
tractsd to Brookings on account of
her superior educational advantagesI
No wonder all eyes are turned toward
Brookings because of the rapid pro-
gress which is being madeI Little
wonder that the state Agricultural
college is meeting public favor every
wherel 1t 10 pleasure TO note the
zeal manifested by the faculty In
training the minds OF students
