EARLY HISTORY South Dakota State· University, the state's land grant institution, was auth�xized in 1881 by the Te rritorial Legislative Assembly and is a university with a strong emphasis on teaching, research and extension. With a national reputation, SDSU was ranked as the most efficient university in the Midwest by US News and World Report and has made the magazine's listing for an exceptional combination of quality and value. Peggy Gordon Elliott became SDSU's eighteenth president on January 1, 1998. After territorial council member John O'Brien Scobey managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for Brookings, the school opened in the fall of 1884 after the president, George Lilley, was advanced $500 (one third of his salary) to finish three rooms in the new Central building. "Old Central" was South Dakota State University, there to a 271 acre campus with facilities soon joined by South (1885) and North were six colleges - Arts and Science, worth over $220 million.
