it M im :UWM D E. KATIIRYN WYANT Miss Kathryn Wyant was graduated from. the University of Missouri in 1921 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The following fall she took up her duties as an instructor in the mathematics department of the University. She did work for university credit along with her teaching that year, and was graduated with the degree of Master of Arts in the spring of 1922.A ' In the short time that Miss VVyant has been connected with the University, she has, by her marked ability, gained honor in more than one way. She is a charter member of Pi Delta Nu, a fraternity for women in chemistry. She is also a member of, and an enthusiastic worker in, Pi Mu Epsilon, honorary mathematical fraternity, and. further, she is a member of the honorary scientific fraternity, Sigma Xi. She has shown a great interest in our younger engineers, by her unceasing toil in preparing them for their future work. She has always shown a kindly and co- operative spirit toward the Engineering school as a whole, and especially has she shown great interest in our annual celebration on St. Patrick's Day. -It has been, therefore, the pleasure and privilege of this engineering school to confer upon Miss: E. Kathryn VVynnt, the Honorary Degree of St. Patrick, and to heartily welcome her as a true and loyal Lady of our Order. Page iffy I illf - ff f ff-f - n nunllf' I I I I I i I .
