Agawasie Day Celebration
Take time out today to celebrate! The weather is fine on the Wahpeton Campus and we hope it is fine where you are, too.
Why is it called AAgawasie Day@?
In 1914, the School of Science published its first annual, called the Agawasie.
Why is it called AAgawasie Day@?
In 1914, the School of Science published its first annual, called the Agawasie.
According to the authors of NDSCS: 100 Years of
Excellence, the origin of this name is obscure but that in an early issue
of the annual it was explained as an Indian word for Ascience.@
However, there also is a story that 2 wily students,
Max Lauder and Arnold Forbes had neglected to actually research any real Indian
word for science. In order to cover up their blunder, they contrived the word AAggy-Wassy@, which later became
the easier form Agawasie.
After publishing the Agawasie for three
years, it was discontinued from 1917 through 1920 because of World War I. Again in 1943 and 1944 the yearbook was
reduced in size and made a softcover instead of the more usual hardcover
edition.
Financing the annual varied from the sale of candy,
proceeds from the Penny Carnival, student activity fees, nominal sale price,
and solicited advertisements. The
arrival of the annual became a day for celebration, and the annual Agawasie
Day Picnic was started.
Publishing an annual yearbook was discontinued in
2004, but the day for celebration continues as Agawasie Day.
