With a record enrollment of 12,725 students in the fall of 2011, South Dakota State remains the state’s largest institution of higher learning.
SDSU Early History Located in Brookings, the Territorial Legislative Assembly authorized SDSU in 1881 to serve as the state’s land grant institution. Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city. Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school did open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, advanced $500 — one-third of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building. “Old Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and a half. During the first year of operation, the college only held preparatory classes. College classes started in 1885 with five teachers, 17 freshman and 61 preparatory students. Growth stayed slow and erratic for many years, but by the turn of the 20th century, 242 students enrolled and by 1990, SDSU enrollment grew to more than 9,000 students.
Colleges Established SDSU has granted nearly 70,000 degrees since its charter in 1881. The structure of the college became more complex as enrollments increased. The first nine chairs of instruction established in 1884 included agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern languages, military tactics, veterinary science, practical business, political & domestic economy and music. By 1907, the year the name of the institution changed to South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic AGGIE SCHOOL CLOCK TOWER—The clock tower sits in front of Arts, there were 22 departments on campus. the Tompkins Alumni Center on the west side of campus.

The Jackrabbits Two theories exist as to how and why SDSU’s athletic teams became known as the “Jackrabbits”. Most believe that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College. Many believe that a reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, wrote that the SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its official nickname from that beginning. The other theory about the origin of the nickname came in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. A poem in the 1907 yearbook puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves MEMORIAL PARK—Memorial Park, located between WOODBINE COTTAGE—Built in 1887 by SDSU’s second by changing the name of the yearbook.
