,wi .00 We af ' s.,,,,,9,, .dd Z2 .SZ ?fitwt Forty-nine years, 38 of them here at WSCEC, occupied with such various responsibilities as critic teacher. methods instructor, Dean of Women, advisor for National Youth Administration and Kappa Delta Pi ended this spring with the retirement of Miss Laura Sutherland, history professor on our campus. who has taught more than 4,500 students the importance of a sound educational back- ground. Miss Sutherland, who explains uteaching history as a crusade, was inspired to become a teacher as a young girl by her mother. lt was largely through the latteris efforts that kept Miss Sutherland from becoming a Latin teacher, explaining, 6'You have to work to be a history teacherf, - This is just what Miss Sutherland has done. It was largely through her efforts that student government. dormitories, Sigma Gamma Zeta, Sigma Pi Kappa. and Kappa Delta Pi were organized on the Eau Claire campus. Her latest accomplish- ment Was the consideration for admittance of Eau Claire by the American Association of University Woiiieri. Watching the campus grow from a position when wwe scarcely had chairs to sit on, to its present modern capacity. Miss Sutherland describes it as one of the finest in the country. Her words concerning college academic life. Only excellence is what's needed. I cannot stress enough the importance of grinding toil and study for achievement and success in anything. may well be reversed to apply to herself - an educator. who after almost a half century of achievement on our campus. will retire this year. It is to her that we respectfully dedicate the 1959 Periscope.
