What boots it if a college possesses
millions in equipment but Is unable to
turn our young men and women grad.
yates trained for efficient public ser
vice? Be it said to the everlasting
credit and glory of the South Dakota
State College that she has an increas.
ing body of alumni who are eminently
successful in every sense of the word.
There is probably no other college OF
its size or scope in the entire country
which can boast of a larger family of
sons and daughters who are figuring
prominently in the sciences and in.
dustries of state and nation.
Graduates of State College are in de,
mand as teachers, as practical agricul-
turalists, as dairy experts, as keen
engineers, as careful druggists, and as
efficient home makers. Glance, if you
will, through the roster of tw%enty-eight
classes without feeling that truly they
have made a remarkable record. There
is not the slightest doubt but that the
successes of these men and women
have had great bearing upon the recent
growth of the college.
Without further general discussion
of the alumni, let us review briefly and
in classified form what these people
are really doing in the worlds work,
in the following order:
Alumni as Educators.
II.-Alumni as Progressive Agricul.
turalists or in Federal service.
III.-Alumni as Engineers.
IV.-Alumni as Druggists, Phar.

About seventy graduates of the
South Dakota State College at Brook.

some of the leading universities and
colleges Of the United States, as many
as seven out of a single class being

seven classes which have been grad,
uated from State College, only four
classes are unrepresented by alumni
on the teaching staff of institutions OF
high rank.
Three graduates are or the faculty
