(The following excerpt is from The Fargo Forum Sunday Edition, August 1, 1937)
Seven ranking members of the North Dakota Agriculture College staff, most of whom have given a life time service to the institution, Saturday were summarily dismissed, without explanation, on less than three hours notice.
