HONOR SLAGLE
Faculty of State College Give
Farewell to Retiring
President.

Bookings, Jan. 23.-The faculty of
the state college gave a farewell recep-
tion to DR.. and Mrs. r. L. Slagle.
This was the last occasion in which
the teaching force Of the college could
meet the retiring president and his
wife. The Commercial club of Brook
ings passed resolutions, in which this
city lamented the departure of the
able president of the state college and
commanded him to the citizens of
Iermillion and the state university.
In leaving Brookings to assume the
presidency of the state university, Dr..
Slagle leaves behind him a successful
eight years administration at the state
college. During this period the
scholastic standards of the college have
been greatly improved until now they
are on a par with those of state col.
leges elsewhere. The South Dakota
state college is widely known for the
quality of its graduates. During his
administration the attendance has in
creased from 500 to $50 students,
nearly 70 per cent. The attendance of
agricultural students has increased
more than $50 per cent.

The climate here may be termed a
never ending summer. A crop Of

in the year. The winters are mild
aud dry, and in the summer the
nights are cool and pleasant. The

Of the most attractive features. No
virulent epidemics of malignant dis
easesh have ever visited it. No SHOWS,
