AN APPRECIATION At the close of the present school year Miss Francesca I... Qtto severs her connection with Stout Institute. It is understood that she will make her home with her brother in Oakland, California. From the opening of the Stout Training Schools in l903, Miss Otto has rendered most valuable service in the administrative work of these schools and of the Institute with which the training schools were merged in l908. Ar the outset she had entire charge of the office work and did some teaching, but as the attendance increased it became necessary to add to the office force and to apportion the various Iines of work among the different members. Miss Otto's work brought her into personal contact with every student who has attended the Institution and gave her a personal acquaintance which together with her excellent judgment of the qualities necessary for success in teaching eminently qualified her for the duties of Appointment Clerk, which position she has filled for three years, in addition to performing the duties of registrar. The assistance she has rendered the graduates of Stout Institute in secur- ing positions upon leaving the school, and her interest for their advancement from year to year will be remembered by hundreds. That interest has not been simply that of an employee. From the outset she has shown a loyalty to the interests of the school and a personal interest in its students that have been strong factors in the growth of the school. No one has rejoiced more than she in its steady growth and increasing influence and she has always been in- telligently active and persistent in securing both. She will be missed by students, faculty, and most of all by President Har- vey, who best knows the quality of her work. We wish her success and hap- piness in her new home. 20
