MRS. BRYAN WILDENTHAL Because of the many evidences of her love for Sul Ross . . . because she is forever interested in the progress and welfare of students here . . . because her unending handiwork to make our campus an even more beautiful place ... the 1965 BRAND is respectfully dedicated to our First Lady, Mrs. Bryan Wildenthal. The honoree refuses to accept spotlight positions she so often earns, and shuns publicity so richly deserved. Had the recipient of the 1965 dedication not been a closely guarded secret, she would have vetoed the unanimous choice of the annual staff before the idea ever got off the launching pad. Though she prefers to remain in the shadows and repels personal glory, the former Miss Doris Kellam has walked many trails. She is a woman of letters, having attained the bachelor’s degree at Southwest Texas State College, where the courtship with her eventual husband began during their sophomore year. She is a teacher. Three years prior to their marriage and six years after, Mrs. Wildenthal taught in public schools, first in Gonzales and later at San Marcos. She is a devoted wife and mother. Following her marriage to the then business manager and commercial teacher at Southwest Texas State College, Mrs. Wildenthal was First Lady at San Angelo College two years before Dr. Wildenthal accepted the presidency here in 1952. They have two sons—Hobson, an instructor at Rice University in Houston, and Kern, a medical doctor who is currently doing his internship in New York City. She is active. Sul Ross glows because of her handiwork which produces lovely campus flow¬ ers most months of the year. Active also in educational organizations, she is a member of the American Association of University Women and Delta Kappa Gamma. A Christian who believes in the youth of America, she is a friend to Sul Ross students, and cares for them and their activities. Hers is a place of prominence here. And, though she would prefer her work to remain un¬ noticed, the BRAND staff won ' t hear to it. The pages of this 1965 yearbook are dedicated to our First Lady.
