Some Changes In the Faculty

The South Dakota State College,
Bookings big educational Institution,
opened its doors to the young people
Of the state the past week. The at
tendance is very pleasing and the pros.
poets are that 1t will reach the thous-
and mark during the winter. Yester-
day there were about 800 students en-
rolled, but not nearly all OF the old
students are back and there are many
in the city who did not register this
week on account Of the fair. The
freshman class already numbers over
one hundred. The best year In the
history of the institution is the pro-
phecy made by faculty and students.
The new building, of which the
Register made extended mention a
couple Of weeks ago, is now In use,
most of the departments that will be
housed there having moved In. The
added DON Is needed and there will
not be any idle space left when the
school Of agriculture students arrive
here the LIST OF November.
There are a number of changes in
the faculty this year, the most import
ant ones of which are:
DR.. c. c. Lipp, who has for the last
ten years taught In the University OF
Minnesota, has been secured ~ pro-
fessor Of veterinary medicine. Mr..
Lipp Is a graduate Of the University Of
Ohio, has had considerable public
school teaching experience as we'll as
his university work, and m well
prepared to take charge Of the work
at State College. Professor B. r.
McProud, for the past few years con
nected with the faculty Of Nebraska
Wesleyan University has been chosen
as professor Of Philosophy and Educa-
ton at the State College. Miss Bella
Spencer, a graduate Of the University
of Kansas, m as professor Of mod
ern languages. She has had q wide
teaching experience as we'll al much
travel in European countries.
II. s. Coe will be instructor In bot
any and plant pathology and also con-
sulting plant pathologist for the ex-
pertinent station. He Is q graduate
OF the Iowa State College at Ames. A.
J. Willis, a graduate Of Lehigh Uni.
versity will be the new professor OF
Civil Engineering, to succeed DR.. Derr.
who is TO- state engineer. Professor
Willis has taught at Lehigh and ct
Cooper Institute in New York City.
Miss Ruth Wood. a graduate Of the
State College will succeed Miss Amy
Kelly as instructor in the school of
Agriculture.
Much interest is being manifested
in the appointment of Professor q. d.
Stivers to succeed DR.. Brigham In the
School OF Agriculture, the latter being
obliged to give up school work on &C
count of poor health. Never before In
the history OF the college have so many
boys and girls of South Dakota farms
written in for detailed information
concerning the School Of Agriculture.
An increase of rs per cent In this de-
partment is expected. Strange to say
the largest increase is anticipated
from sections of the state hit by the
drought, since here the young people
can be better spared during the win
ter months for agricultural study.
That these young men and women
feel the need Of agricultural and home
training ooes without caviup
