The faculty of the college have also
been travelling during the holidays.
Prof. SEVERN took the longest trip. He
went to Philadelphia, Pa, where ne
read a paper on the "Onion Fly" before
the American Association for theh Ad-
vancement of Science. This is the
largest and best known association of
scientific men in the country and Prof.

invited to speak before such a body of
men. Prof. Bates and Prof. Powers

FACULTY MEMBERS BUSY

During the holidays a number of the
faculty of the State College were away
at important meetings. President
Perisho was the especially invited
Clubs of Sioux Falls and Redfeld. He
spoke at each place concerning the
new extension organization of the col
lege. On the 4th of January the presi-
dent left for the University of Mime
sofa where he represented South Da-
kota State College, speaking before
audiences of college of agriculture stu
dents and farmers. On the 10th Of
this month Doctor Perisho goes to
Webster where there is to be held a
large county exhibit of farm products.
This meeting is n of the most I'M
portant exhibits held in Day county
during the year and the people In
charge thought the occasion would be
appropriate to invite the president of
their state college to be present. From
Webster he goes to Fargo, N. D., where
again he lectures before state college
audiences at the urgent invitation of
President Worst. The last week OF
the month he goes to Iowa where he
will fill a long standing engagement
and then right back to the big joint
meeting of the South Dakota Stock
Breeders and Corn Growers at Nit
chell. Besides these President Perisho
speak at numerous other meetings in
and outside of the state, which he has
been unable to accept. He was COM
PEELED to decline an invitation to come
to the University of Missouri as well

FACULTY RECITAL

Friday evening, the faculty Of the
music department gave a very pleasing
recital before the students of the Farm
and Home Course. While the recital
was more of an impromptu nature, it
proved one of the most enjoyable con-
certs of the year.
Mr.. Hedge sang three groups of
songs. His voice shows the effects of
several weeks rest from chorus direc-
ton in its freshness and vigor. His
selections were all from modern writ
ers and were received with marked
enthusiasm. Particularly enjoyable
were the numbers of the final group.
Mr.. Christensen appeared in two
groups of numbers, among them being
a movement of a Wieniawski Con-
certo, C%anzonetta by Ambrosio, two
numbers by Gossec and Dridla Sere-
made. 1t is hardly necessary to say
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1915-01-14

that his offerings met with extreme
favor.
Miss Welsh did some exceptionally
fine work in her accomplishments and
her rendition of the Peinholdi I'M
promptu was of distinct brilliancy, it's
treacherous technical passages being
met with ease.
Mr.. Peterson rendered two short
numbers from Schumann's Scenes
from Childhood and with no little iu-
terpretative insight, and the Weber
Rondo Brilliante was characterized by
clean cut technic and fine phrasing and
dynamic shadings.
A large number took advantage of
the opportunity to hear the music
faculty in recital and the audience was
n of the best of the course.

A nominating committee, consisting
of Prof. Browning, Prof. Starring and
C.. E. Poole, had been named earlier IN
the evening, and they reported at this
time. They presented ten names as
members of the board of directors, and
the following five We're elected for one
year: Charles E. Hall, Lloyd r. Hyde,
Prof. B. L. Thompson, M. G. Carlisle
and John L. Murphy. The six men,
bers who hold over until July are:
Philo Hall, R. A. Larson, o. o. Olson,
liver Dybdahl, c. A. Gullick and o. o.
Graves.
The new board met at the club
rooms Monday evening and organized
by electing the following officers, all Of
them unanimously: President, NJ. G..
Carlisle; vice-president, r. A. Larson;
secretary, c. A. Gullick; treasurer, l..
A. Bitterness.
The new president is a live business
man and a good club worker and he
will make good at the head of the or
~ganization. DR.. Hyde, the retiring
president, has made an unusually good
president and his administration
leaves a record that will make the sue
ceeding ones go some to equal it.
Cha1les E. Hall refused to qualify as
a member of the board of directors,
and the vacancy will be filled by the
board. Mr.. Hall has been a most valu-
able man on the board during the last
year, giving much of his time to the
clubs work and he felt that in justice
to his business he could not afford to
longer serve. President Carlisle and
the other directors recognize his value
as a director and sincerely regret that
he could not see his way clear to re-
main on the board.
President Hyde had TO leave before
the close of the meeting and Philo
Hall took the chair. A resolution was
introduced and passed unanimously
commencing IL lCllliuS pItoluelI III
the highest terms for his splendid
efforts in behalf of the club during
the past year. The resolutions, which
were adopted by a rising vote, are as
follows:

been given wide publicity throughout
the State and beyond its borders, so
that the City, with its many advant-
ages is favorably known in all the
region Observation-Disclosures,

which he has promoted the interests

Observation-Disclosures Good For a
Successful Years Work

Treasurer Bitterness read his semi
annual statement of the clubs
finances.
President Hyde said that he would
not give a lengthy report Of the clubs

covered in detail in the regular edition
gotten out by the Register that week.

been a busy one and many good things
had been done. He thanked the com
mittees both standing and special, for
their good work. Special credit was

chairman, and to the publicity commit
tee, headed by Prof. Starring.
Prof. Brown, who came here last
fall to take charge of the public speak
ing department at the State College,
gave a numerous reading which was
so good that the members insisted on
another number and then another one.
M. E. Culhane had been assigned
the talk upon the new war tax, but he
explained that there was so much
doubt as to the exact construction of
the law that even the government OFF,
Gals were somewhat at sea. 1t was
suggested that the club ask represen-
tatives at Washington to get some
definite rulings on points of the law
in doubt, and a committee consisting
of Philo Hall, w. M. Cheever and Mr..
Culhane was appointed to take charge
of the matter. Anyone who has had
difficulty with the law are asked to let
the committee know of the points In
doubt and the questions will be for
warded to Washington.
The commission form of govern
inent came in for considerable discus
sion, but no information of any value
was brought out by the speakers.
PRESIDENT Perisho of the State Col
lege, gave a short and as usual. an
enthusiastic talk on the college. He
said that the Farm and Home course
was a great success and those in at
