SLAG[E To HEAD
s. D.. UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT OF STATE COLLEGE
TRANSFERRED TO vERMIL-
LION BY REGENTS
WILL LEAVE BROOMNGS FEBRUARY ISL
Dr.. Brown Will Have Charge Of Coll
lege During Remainder Of Year
Brookings Sorry to Lose SIagIe

Word was received here Monday
that DR.. Robert l.. Slagle, president of
the State College, had been elected
president of the state university at
made the appointment at their meet
ing at Vermillion on December 5, but
the news was not given out until this
week. DR.. Slagle takes up his new
duties at Vermillion at the beginning
of the second semester, about the first
of February.
The news of the boards action was
nota at all to Brookings' liking, as our
citizens and the students and faculty
of the college hold DR.. Slagle in very
high regard, both personally and as an
administrative officer. The institution,
under his guidance, has shown a won
derful progress. Not only has the en-
rollment increased to a point where
the attendance is practically twice as
large as any other institution in the
state, but it's influence and prestige
have spread to every n of the
state until today the State College is
recognized as the leading institution
in South Dakota. Affairs at Vermil-
lion have been in a rather caotic con-
dition for some time and the regents
naturally picked a man in whose abil-
ity they had confidence to assume
charge of it.
The new position is presumed to be
a promotion for DR.. Slagle, but there is
some doubt, in Brookings anyway, as
to whether it is. A university Is gen.
orally credited with being a more i'm
portant institution than an agricul-
tural college, and it is in most states,
but as far as South Dakota is con-
cerned the college of agriculture is
the leading institution and promises
to remain so. This is promarily an
agricultural state, and the institution
which teaches that branch Of educa-
ton should take the lead.
Brookings people, in which we in
clude the faculty and students of the
college, will wish DR.. Slagle every
success in his new position.
DR.. G. l.. Brown, vice-president of
the State College, will be placed in
charge of college until the end of the
year. DR.. Brown is a man Of much
ability and very popular with students
and faculty members, and affairs will
run along smoothly under his direc-
ton. The question of who the next
president of the institution will be
will not likely be answered for some
months, as the regents will look the
field over carefully before making a
selection. We believe we are safe in
saying that he will be a man from out
side the state, and we sincerely trust
that he will be as strong a man as DR..
Slagle.
DR.. Slagle came to Brookings in 1895
as professor of chemistry, and two
years later he was transferred to the
state school of mines at Rapid City in
a similar capacity. A year later he
was made president of that institution,
and on January LIST, 1906, he came back
to Brookings as president of the State
College.
