Spring/Summer 2015 1 Dear Alumni and Friends, As I sit in my office writing to you, I am enjoying fresh spring air coming through my window and the sounds of large equipment, clanging metal and the assorted beeps and banging associated with construction—or as I like to think of it, the sounds of progress. Just across the street from my office in the Wagner Center, the new Sports Performance Enhancement Complex is being constructed. It is exciting to see the progress being made each week and I can hardly wait for the opportunity to hear the cheers of faithful Coyote fans in the new surroundings. Similar progress is happening on the outdoor track and soccer complex along the Highway 50 bypass as you enter Vermillion. We are so fortunate to have loyal alumni who give generously to support projects like these. Whether your passion is athletics, arts or academics, there is a way for you to be involved and I hope you will find a way to be engaged. In this issue of the magazine, we introduce you to alumni who are leveraging their USD educations to make a difference around the world. Whether it is addressing challenges in remote villages in Kosovo, Mongolia and Tanzania, or playing a role in addressing the ever evolving relations with the Soviets, you can be proud of your fellow alumni. We are also very pleased to recognize the gift of Tom and Nancy Gallagher in the establishment of the International Opportunity Fund, which will open opportunities to students who would not otherwise be able to travel abroad to further personal and educational experiences. Coincidentally, three USD students have been named recipients of the prestigious Fulbright Scholarships. There have been 36 USD students who have received Fulbrights since 1951, but it hasn’t been since 1957 that there have been three recipients within a single year. We are very proud of their accomplishments and very excited for the opportunities they have as a result. It is a testament to their hard work and to the USD faculty who have prepared them to compete on a national level. To provide alumni and friends the opportunity to pursue life-long learning and cultural experiences abroad, we have launched an international travel program. We have filled our tour to England, Scotland and Ireland this summer, but there is still room available to travel with the USD Alumni Association to Australia in April 2016. Learn more and reserve your seat today at www.usdalumni.com/events. Dakota Days 2015 is scheduled for October 2–3; please make plans to join us for this homecoming to reconnect with your peers, to meet the fantastic students of today and to share in the excitement of USD’s future! With warm Coyote regards, Kersten Johnson, ’87 B.A. Executive Director USD Alumni Association 2 The South Dakotan AROUND CAMPUS USD STUDENTS THREE AWARDED SCHOLARSHIPS Three students at the University of South Dakota have been awarded J. William Fulbright scholarships, one of the most prestigious academic awards in the world. The program recognizes top students and provides opportunities for advanced study, research and teaching. HOLLY BAKER, West Lafayette, Ind., is completing her Ph.D. in English at USD. Baker will travel to Romania to expand and enrich her knowledge of that nation’s political unrest during the 1990s and the related crisis regarding children and orphans. She plans to write a novel about this historical event. LUCIA CARLSON, Rio Ricos, Ariz., is completing her M.A. in political science. She will travel to Germany to further her knowledge of that country, including building her skills as a German speaker and as a teacher of English to Germans. Carlson intends to pursue a career in the U.S. Foreign Service. BREANNA HELLAND, Frederick, S.D., is an undergraduate with a double major in criminal justice and political science. Helland will use her Fulbright award to travel to South Korea and study the democratic transformation happening there. Her goal is to become a teacher. Since 1951, 36 USD students have been awarded Fulbright scholarships, and this year’s three winners marks the most in any single year since 1957. “Having three Fulbright winners at the university in a single year is extraordinary,” said USD President James W. Abbott. “This level of recognition to our student scholars reflects the dedication of our university and its faculty to academic achievement.

Agrarian Radicals: The United Farmers League of South Dakota ALLAN MATHEWS Agricultural recessions have caused distress on several occasions among farmers in South Dakota and have given rise to protest movements that sounded the call for economic justice. The Peoples party, the Nonpartisan League, and the Farmer- Labor party were among these movements. In the 1890s South Dakotans joined the Peoples party and helped elect Populist- Democrat Governor Andrew E. Lee for two terms.* Just prior to World War I fanners joined the reform-minded Nonpartisan League in the search for relief and supported the candidates of the league. This support diminished when Progressive Republi- can Governor Peter Norbeck adopted many of the programs of the league as his own. In the mid-1920s farmers formed the Farmer-Labor party, and soon other reform movements followed. ^ The threat of foreclosure was the main reason for unrest in the 1920s. Farmers had earlier plunged into debt to enlarge their farms as heavy rains produced bumper crops and world markets sustained high prices. Suddenly, about 1924 rains 1. Alan L.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H.

  • Democratic Party Politics and the South Dakota Income Tax, 1933-1942
    Copyright © 1996 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Democratic Party Politics and the South Dakota Income Tax, 1933-1942 Matthew Cecil A well-established pattern of the human race is its search for a savicir when cornered by forces beyond its control. South Dakotans of the 1930s, their hopes dashed by nature. Wall Street, and global economics, looked to tax relief to help them survive the depths of the Great Depression, Propeity taxes, the state's main source of revenue, proved especially burdensome to farmers, many of whom were hard-pressed to survive. Beginning in 1932 and continuing through 1942, leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties clamored to replace the state's property levy with different versions of an income tax on individuals and corporations.' In the end, neither party's tax program succeeded in significantly reducing property taxes. In addition, the political battles associated with the issue—particularly Democratic governor Tom Berry's 1933 dispute with farm groups over the gross income tax—uncovered ideological differences within tile Democratic party. Those disagreements would prevent it from emerging from the Great Depression as a consistent force in state politics. By 1932, South Dakotans had already suffered from a period of extended drought, grasshopper infestation, and 1. South Dakota, LegislaHve Manual (.1933). p. 485, and a935.), p. 525.

  • I Mages of Governors Robert Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson Once Again Enhance South Dakota's Capital City of Pi
    mages of Governors Robert Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson once again enhance South Dakota’s Capital City Iof Pierre where all left their mark years ago. The Trail of Governor’s Foundation unveiled bronze statues honoring the governors on Nov. 1, 2014 in a Capitol Rotunda celebration that also commemorated South Dakota’s 125th anniversary of statehood. The annual unveiling ceremony, previously held on or adjacent to Flag Day, moved in observance of this special anniversary. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard shared historical glimpses and character traits for each honored governor. Family members representing the governors as well as others with a historical tie or appreciation celebrated the leaders’ contributions to the state. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Arthur Mellette – 1st Governor of South Dakota 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report Governor Robert Vessey Gov. Robert Vessey was funded by the South Dakota Retailers Association for which he was a founding member in 1897. The four unveiling his statue were SDRA Executive Director Shawn Lyons, SDRA Board President DeLon Mork, former SDRA Attorney/Lobbyist Ron Olinger who is a Vessey donor along with his wife Linda, and former SDRA Ex- ecutive Director Jerry Wheeler who the Olingers honored with their donation. Vessey’s bronze likeness harkens back to the days when he was a retail shop owner. Artists Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby illustrated Vessey in early shop- keeper garb with an apron over business attire, and his smile and raised hands greet a well-known customer. Vessey’s resume reflects a multi-faceted man who was not only governor and shop owner, but wore several other hats as well.

    Copyright © 1989 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. 276 South Dakota History Copyright © 1989 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Images Gladys Pyle, often described as the "Grand Old Lady of the Republican Party," was born 4 October 1890 in Huron, South Dakota, the youngest of John and Mamie Pyle'sfour children. After graduating from Huron College in 1911, she attended the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and taught Latin for eight years in the Miller, Huron, and Wessington high schools.

  • The First Ladies of South Dakota
    Copyright © 1973 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The First Ladies of South Dakota STATE HISTORICAL SOCUETY Oftentimes history neglects the wives of men well known in public office, especially in the case of presidents and governors, and these women fade into obscurity. The First Ladies of South Dakota led active lives aside from assisting their husbands in political functions and their accomplishments are worthy of comment. These women participated in a variety of civic affairs and church work that benefited their communities and the state of South Dakota. The following article includes a picture of each First Lady along with a biographical sketch about her. With the exception of Mrs. Farrar's and Mrs. Kneip's photographs, the pictures shown were presented to Governor Archie Gubbrud on 20 January 1964 to be hung in the Governor's Mansion. In 1965 they were moved to the Capitol Building where they are now hanging next to the doll display of the First Ladies in their inaugural ball gowns. The governor from 1965 to 1969, Nils Boe, was not married and his sister acted as hostess of the Governor's Mansion. Therefore, there is no picture for that time period.

Mellette, wife of the first governor of the state of South Dakota from 1889 to 1893, was born Margaret Wylie on 6 August 1843 at Bloomington, Indiana.

  • South Dakota Politics During the New Deal Years
    Copyright © 1971 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. South Dakota Politics During the New Deal Years PAUL A. O' ROURKE In 1932 and 1934, during the depths of the depression, the national Democratic party under Franklin Roosevelt and the South Dakota Democrats behind Tom Berry scored sub- stantial electoral victories. On the national level during this period, the New Deal brought the most sweeping domestic reforms in the nation's history and made the Democrats the majority party. Yet, South Dakota's Democrats sponsored relatively little progressive legislation, and their day in the sun ended in 1936 and 1938, when the Republicans regained control of the state's politics, which they were to hold, except for 1959-60, for more than thirty years. Why South Dakota's Democrats did not bring substantial reform and why they ultimately failed at the polls while the national New Deal succeeded is the problem this paper will discuss. The 1930s were not a propitious period for reform in most states, because of the severe financial crisis they faced. The situation was especially critical in South Dakota because the agriculturai depression of the 1920s had hit hard, and the state's business ventures of the 1915-1919 era had backfired, leaving it under a heavy burden of debt. Its effort to provide credit to farmers incurred a loss of $57 million alone.' In the late twenties the state began to prune its budget severely. Governor William J. Bulow ( 1927-31 ), a popular Democrat who was regularly elected in the face of Republican 1.
