REGENT P. W. RAMER IT is with true reverence and respect, and with a feeling of genuine gratitude for the splendid accomplishments of his fifteen years of faithful service that we view the retirement of Mr. P. W. Ramcr as regent of our school. Retiring Regent P. W. Ramer has been a member of the Normal Board since 1918, serving for a time as president of the board and almost continuously on the auditing committee. The type of service he has rendered during those fifteen years has caused him to be recognized not only as a business man of exceptional ability, but as a man well informed in the field of education. Under his guidance and efforts, there has grown up from a tiny embryo in a small, out-of-the-way western Wisconsin town the fine educational institution we are proud to call our Alina Mater. Many were the improvements of the school plant during Mr. Rainer’s period of service. South Hall was remodeled into the fine unit it is today; in 1914, North Hall was constructed; and, as a crowning monument to his achievements, in 1925, the new Training School was erected, which is recognised as one of the finest training school buildings in the state. From time to time appropriations have been secured for the enlargement of the school farm and for the construction of the present farm buildings. Also the athletic field which bears his name was purchased. In closing our tribute we cannot laud too highly the man who has probably contributed more to the upbuilding of our college than any other man in the history of the institution. Kiiktetn
