Dr. Robert K. Anderson and his Gentle Leader dog harness. In 1956, the University of Minnesota's College of Veterinary Medicine and School of Public Health developed a joint program in veterinary public health, and Anderson became the first director. For more than three decades he taught both veterinary students and public health students about food safety, zoonotic diseases, and epidemiology. Dr. Anderson developed the Gentle Leader collar with Ruth Foster, then President of the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. The collar became widely popular when released in 1989. "Dogs are the only animals we train by choking" Anderson said.

By 1924, when this photograph was taken, the Talmud Torah had moved to a new building space. The old building remained a community center, but the Hebrew school moved to the Emanuel Cohen Center. The school was also gaining national recognition at that time as a place of innovative teaching methods and rigorous curriculum. The Elementary Level lasted for 5 years and was the first level of Hebrew instruction.

A photograph showing members of the graduating class in caps and gowns. St. Paul differed from Minneapolis in that it supported two Hebrew schools rather than one centralized school. The Hebrew Institute and the Capitol City Hebrew School maintained their affiliations with founding synagogues: consequently, enrollments for the schools was smaller and funding for the schools was less robust than in Minneapolis. In 1956, Capitol City Hebrew School and the Hebrew Institute merged to become the St. Paul Talmud Torah.
