ful Year at this state
Institution
The past year is one which the
friends of the State School Of
Science are justly proud. The
usual harmony of interests and q
spirit of greater progress have
marked the year. The growing
popularity of the school with stu
dents throughout the State is a
splendid sign of the increasing
worth of the institution. No long,
er is the student body of local
character, but the whole state is
represented. The extreme western
tier of counties in this State has
a fine delegation of students. Fur,
thermore ten states are represent
ed among the student body.
Another pleasing fact noted
from the student body is the evil
dent educational progress
throughout the state, indicated by
the better prepared class of stud
ents that entered the school this
year. This is sure index of the
ultimate greatness of North Da-
kota; and is an additional proof
that this state is rapidly becoming
the finest place in the country. in
which to live. The State School of
Science is doing splendid service
to hasten this movement.
The past year has marked a
still higher rise in the already
high standard of scholarship. The
Presidents contention that at
tending school is a business pro-
position of high order, is being
more and more appreciated both
by the students and by the pub
lie.
Another phase of the work of
the school is the student activi-
ties. The past year has been es-
pecially noted for the live inter-
est the students have taken in
student affairs. They made pos
sible a most acceptable ''Open
House," the annual carnival; a
special fifth number of the lee
ture course; a literary society
that attracted audiences from the
general public; and host Of 9TH
er functions too numerous to
mention. The athletics have been
handled in a mastery manner
and have been especially clean
and wholesome.
The growing social side of the
student life too, is very encour-
aging. The numerous social func-
tions have met with unusual sue
cess and enthusiasm. This means
a great deal to the student who
is going out into the world of to-
day where social culture is an in-
dispensible want.
Hence it is with a great deal of
pride in the past accomplishments
and with still greater hopes for
the future of the school, that we
present the program for COM
mencement week. The graduation
exercises will be held in the Opera
House, June 4 at $3.50 p. m. For
ty young people will be graduated
from the several courses. Some of
these graduates will return next
year to take advanced work along
some special line. Following is
