History: The North Dakota State Society has been small but active almost since statehood.  Here is a photo from the history file provided by the Institute for Regional Studies of the North Dakota State University in Fargo.  It comes from a photo collection of Hon. Milton R. Young.

Sen. Young wrote of this photo:

"This picture was taken at a North Dakota State Society picnic at the home of the late Senator Gerald P. Nye in Chevy Chase, Maryland. I don't recall the exact date but it was probably in the early 1950's. From top, left to right, Congressman Otto Krueger, Congressman Usher L. Burdick, Senator William Lange, Senator Milton R. Young. Bottom row: Senator Gerald P. Nye, former Governor, Congressman and Secretary of Interior, Fred G. Aandahl. With the exception of myself, all of them have been dead for more than 10 years at this writing--Milton Young, 10/8/80. P.S. This is the only picture I have ever seen that included both Senators Nye and Langer"--
