construction of the business
school, the Law Library, the
Lee Medical Building, and
multiple dormitories.
He watched as Dakota
Days would survive a period
where women at USD would
worry about their former
classmates’ survival abroad
than who would take them to
a dance.
When the war ended and
women had set a tone of such
importance that would carry
to this day. Dakota Days took
on special meaning:
The boys were coming
home.
With them they would
find many more men
wanting to join the party.
While all that was
happening. Weeks also
watched the rise of two
prominent men on the USD
campus that would help
define the culture at USD
once again.
Patterson, Farber:
Defining USD men
Robert Patterson became
a dean at the USD Business
School in 1946 and stepped
into the high demands of an
increasing enrollment and
worked to improve programs
available and strengthening
the school.
Ultimately the business
school was fully accredited
five years later.
“He was a hard-nosed,
no-nonsense character,”
Muenster said. “Legend has it
– and I didn’t experience this
personally – but he actively
discouraged women from
enrolling in business school
because he didn’t they had a
place in the business
community. He thought they
belonged in the home. He
was a legendary character.”
Tuve said Patterson was a
history major that found his
way into business.
“I’m not sure how he got
into business, but his son
would talk about how
(Patterson) came out of
history (studies),” Tuve, who
attended USD in the mid-60s
and knew of the former
dean, said. “But boy did he
run a tight ship. Women
could be in business
education and take typing
and stenography, but the first
woman that probably made a
difference out of that school
graduated in about 1970. It
was very difficult for women
before that.”
Before Patterson arrived,
William O’Farber had
already been on the USD
campus for a decade.
Farber began his career as
a professor of political science
at The University of South
Dakota (USD) in 1935. He
served as chair of the
Department of Government
(now the Department of
Political Science) from 1937
until 1976.
“He was considered Tom
Brokaw’s mentor,” Muenster
said of the celebrated news
anchor and journalist.
“Depending on who you
listen to, Farber pulled
Brokaw out of a trash can
and set him on his career. He

would select students from
among the student body and
guide them into political
science. He would extract
young men with great
potential and they would be
called ‘Farber Boys’ and
helped them in political
careers.”
Farber, a lifelong bachelor,
and Patterson had similar
views about the roles of
women, but most things
stopped there.
“They were two rival,
power centers on the
campus,” Muenster said.
“Farber would tell someone
‘You want to be a dentist?
The perfect preparation is
political science.’ Or he’d say
‘You want to be an astrophysicist? The perfect
preparation is political
science.’ He could recruit
people with the force of his
persistence and personality.”
As students on campus
benefitted from both men’s
roles and significance at USD,
the Dakota Days, that
survived the times of war and
saw homecoming mean
something much deeper than
during other times before
and after, continued to be a
landmark time in Vermillion.
After school years were
shortened to fill the needs of
the wars and being “confused
and befuddled” according to
Weeks, the campus was
brimming with a large
population of nontraditional
and married students.
Fraternities and
dormitories were tuna can
stuffed and that would lead
to Weeks’ moves to expand
living arrangement.
But there was nothing
that could deter Dakota Days
and the added number of
students would add to the
flavor of the Homecoming
festivities.
It became one of the
busier seasons of the school
year.
More students brought
more needs and interests and
the Days expanded to fulfill
more students’ desires to
make the event even bigger.
The Greek system grew –
a third of the students on
campus were affiliated with a
fraternity or sorority – while
religion began to play a
bigger role from the 30s

through the 50s.
A growing population
brought more attention and
even in 1962 the nationally
famous Chad Mitchell Trio
played the Dakota Day dance.
Even Marilyn Peterson
(class of 1966) would be
chosen as Miss Vanity Fair in
1963.
USD had survived a war
of epic proportions and the
early days of the Cold War, to
see an increase in student
population that brought
more texture to Dakota Days.
Students were enjoying a
‘Golden Age’ according to
KUSD sports announcer
Chuck Ruhr over 50 years
ago.
Those days would be
challenged to maintain its
course and the student
population would come
under threat of a military
draft and the growing
shadow of Vietnam.
From another war that
tore a nation apart, to disco,
to Reaganomics, the Dakota
Days would carry on.
Read next week to find
out how it maintained…
- The Plain Talk would
like to thank the University
of South Dakota Alumni
Association for its
assistance in providing
needed information
regarding the Dakota Days
celebration and its history.
