Dr. Marian Silveus, history professor, was injured fatally last November. She joined the faculty, when we were the Milwaukee State Teachers college, in 1938. Dr. Silveus was graduated from Radcliff college, Cambridge, Mass., and in 1932 received her doctor of philosophy degree in history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. American history was her special field, and she wrote her thesis on the election of 1896. In Memoriam Dr. Marian Silveus She taught, not just conveyed history, believing that hard work was best. And most of her students respected her for making them work when they realized how much they were learning. But we are speaking of a teacher who was more than a highly rated educator; she was also a warm human being who gave much of herself to all those around her. Iler passing leaves us with an unbridgeable void. Whatever we had in Dr. Silveus is not lost - because a good teacher lives on in the best of her students.
