THREE "DONT's"
FOR UNIVERSITY
REGENT HITCHCOCK SANS TT
MUST S!.aND FOR THE STATE
.tND IlfiP OUT OF LOCAL
STRIPE.

Nermillion, S. D.-Prcsid Fob.
ert f. Slagle was formally presented
to the faculty and students of Tho
University of South Dakota at con.
vocation yesterday by President A
Il. Hitchcock of the state board O,
regents, After Il student ovation. in
which the Alma Mater song. and this
college yells figured, Regent August
Frleburg introduced President Hit
chcock as the champion OF the South
Dakota educational system. Mr.. Hit
chcock brought home forcibly, in a
half hour talk that the function of
the University was to serve the state
TO emphasize its usefulness in every
hamlet. Dean Grabill of the college
OF music responded, extending the
hand of Fellowship to President Sla-
gle, whom he characterized as a dem
ocrat. in the big sense of the wor.l.
Mr.. Slagle warmed the hearts of the
students in Il few words, in which he
expressed the desire to become the
friend and acquaintance OF each, and
asked for their. confidence when in
difficulties.
President Hitchcock in his address
dwelt largely upon three "Dont's"
as essential to the development of the
University ideal of largest service to
the state under the new administra-
ton. These We're derived from obser-
walton. He said:
First, don't abuse the idea of a
great varsity team. Athletics are only
good so far as they develop men and
women. SO far as athletics are run TO
get scores, they are all bad. Football
scores cannot make an institution.
There are some here who would sac
rlfice everything for a score. There
are some men who are unalterably
opposed to athletics; they must be
considered as we'll as the fans. Some
of these men are in the legislature,
upon which the University is depend
for support.
SECONDLY, don't be superior. If We
a superlative institution, 9th
will discover it. Two weeks at the
University makes a great change in
a boy coming down here. You would
know him. We are very superior.
This attitude Injuries the institution,
especially with the legislature. Our
appropriations 7 poorest in COM
p~arison with u needs of any OF the
state schools. We must make friends
With the people of the state. The Uni
must make the entire state
its campus.
Lastly, don't air local troubles to
The world. Get together, pun togeth-
er. There must be harmony of organ
The University must forget
its local sphere and truly become the
University of South Dakota, from
and of the whole state. Internal
Nranglings must cease. Have defer
to those in control. Give them a
Don't tell why we didn't get
.ogether. Get together.
THE future holds a great store.
n the line of increased service. The
idea of bringing the Uni
to the door of every farm
house may be well emulated. The line F,
If greatest development in influence
md attendance is in this line. The
courses of education and
must be increased"
The address ended with AN appre-
iation of President r. II. Slagle and
lis long years of good work under
boards direction at Rapid City
nd Brookings.

for this years campaign was started.
Representatives of newspapers and
other methods of advertising pre-
sented their suggestions but no def
mite plan will be adopted until the
next meeting when a committee re

was for a booster train of business
