There is much talk Of reclamation
these blessed twentieth century times.
And it is good to note that the very
best kind o: reclamdtion-that of hu-
nan beings-is receiving more atten-
ton than ever before. In former
times, if one left the narrow path, if
one were diseased, or one were in
some other matter handicapped, the
argument was always that there were
plenty of others. The morally delin-
quent were clapped into prisons, neg
lected and made worse, and the others
were neglected and made worse. Per-
haps we are better mathematician
than were the people in the ages that
lie behind us, and perhaps We believe
in putting everything in the form of a
practical statement. 1t is an indis-
putable fact that it pays from the dol
lars and cents standpoint, as we'll as
in the work of reclamation of men and
to keep busy at that work. There has
been little more than a feeble, shrink
ing beginning. And we shall go much
farther in the future. There is the
possibility of much good, much useful
ness, in many that are now kept be-
hind iron bars either as prisoners or
as wards of community. We are learn
ing fast and we are going to make the
best use of what we are learning

DR.. SLAGlE WELCOMED

At the ~convocation exercises held in
the University chapel on Charter Day,
February 4, Robert l.. Slagle was form
ally introduced to the students and
faculty as the next president Of the
University of South Dakota by A. E..
Hitchcock, President of the Board of
Regents.
Regent Frieberg had charge Of the
exercises, and after the con~vocation
had been read and benediction deliver
ed by Rev. Mr.. Henderson, he called
upon Mr.. Hitchcock as the speaker Of
the occasion. About an hour was con-
sumed by Mr.. Hitchcock in explaining
the needs and duties of the University.
He said that the University for the
past twenty years had had a very
checkered career, and urged the stu
dents and faculty to forget the past
and look to the future and see If the
past could not be improved upon. 1t
should be the aim of the University
to try to become useful to the state to
as great an extent as possible. The
University has been too exclusive; it
has been a campus proposition, and it
is now up to 1t to begin to assist the
state as a whole. 1t is up to the
faculty and students to help solve the
educational problems of the state and
to carry on, to a small extent, at least,
the work now being done by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in assisting the
people Of that state in different
branches of learning. Particular en-
phasis was placed upon the needs of
the school in order to bring more stu

word rule" but pleaded that authori.
ty be appreciated. II is his wish to
meet personally every student in the
university, and he urged them to have
no fear in bringing before him any
thing with which they were not salts
fed.
Surely DR.. Slagle assumes his new
position under the most suspicious cir
cumstances, and we have faith to be-
lieye that with his recognized ability,
both executive and scholastic, the uni.
versity will prosper in his hands

dents to 1t. 1t was pointed out that
a business and educational training
was today more necessary than ever
before, and therefore the departments
of and finance and educa-
ton should be bettered. The great
trouble in this state is that there has
not been sufficient cooperation be-
tween the state educational institu-
tions. They have been too exclusive.
This condition can never be conduc-
i've to the best interests of education
in the state. Mr.. Hitchcock further
pleaded that the old sores be not open
ed, and urged the faculty and students
to work in harmony and unison, re-
minding those who were dissatisfied,
that there was always an appeal to the
president and the board of regents,
who would give them a fair and re-
spectful hearing. He said that he be-
lieved the experiences of the post Sc
mester had been of great value to the
future interests of the university,
which will have a lasting influence. 1t
taught the faculty that they must
broaden their views in looking at GER
tain matters, and not be unreasonable
in the extreme. Mr.. Slagle was re-
ferred to by Mr.. Hitchcock as a gentle
man, who will treat faculty, students
and citizens as a gentleman would
treat them, and as a man of high schol-
astic attainment and ability.
In closing his sermon Mr.. Hitchcock
took a final rap at athletics, saying
that athletics must be made to develop
strong manhood and womanhood and
not to cultivate a Varsity scoring ma
chine.
Dean Grabill was next called upon
to make a few remarks as the repres-
entative of the deans. What he said
was very appropriate, and he extend
ed, in behalf of the deans, the heart
lest congratulations and best well
wishes to DR.. Slagle.
1t was rather. late when DR.. Slagle
was called upon. AS he rose to speak
a tremendous storm of applause which
lasted for several minutes greeted him
and assured him that the students to a
were back of him to work for a
bigger and better university. DR..
Slagle said that the invitation to be-
president of the university came
as a surprise to him and he accepted
the invitation with some reluctance,
but having accepted, he said that he
would do all in his power to advance
the best interests of the university. He
has spent thirty years in college work,
twenty of which have been spent in
South Dakota. He stated that it was
his wish to cooperate with the stu
dents and faculty. He disdained the
