With a record enrollment of 12,376 students in the fall of 2008, 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 S grant institution. Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city. o Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school did open in the fall of 1884 because the president, u George Lilley, advanced $500 — one-third of his salary — to fi nish three rooms in the new Central Building. “Old t Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and h a half. During the fi rst year of operation, the college only held preparatory classes. College classes started in 1885 with fi ve teachers, 17 freshman and 61 preparatory students. Growth stayed slow and erratic for many years, but d by the turn of the 20th century, 242 students enrolled and by 1990, SDSU enrollment grew to more than 9,000 a students. k Colleges Established SDSU granted nearly 70,000 degrees since its charter o in 1881. The structure of the college became more complex as enrollments increased. The fi rst nine chairs of instruction t established in 1884 included agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern languages, military tactics, a 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 s Arts, there were 22 departments on campus.
