X3l?e (Tollege Scenery f acuity Classes industry Xo matter how loudly uc may scoff at failure, we are always justified in for- gjffog the man who tries. Industry does not always result in notable attainment; however, it is certain that success is always the result of more than a mediocre effort.

Chari.es Allen Prossi-k i if collegiate honors lie has enough. His Bache- lor ' s and Master ! degrees, his l h. D., his L. 1-. B.. his L. I- I -. from five great colleges left little for Stout to do toward adding honor ?o honors already bestowed. Yet because of his keen interest in the field of education for whieii StiM.it stands and because of his dominating posi- tion in that Field it was particularly fitting that The Stout Infinite should in 1925 confer upon Charles Allen I ' rosscr the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. S tibiS? ® C-HARLJS RlCKETSON ALLl N Ifodesty and ability walk well together in the person of Charles Kicketson Alien. Courtesy and tact are outstanding qualities in his personal at tributes. His tireless amplication to any job added to those qualities just enumerated consti- tute the factors that have made him an outstand- ing chaarctcr in the held f vocational education. His educational and cx| ericuce record CU ' read anywhere. This space is better used to pay tribute to the man who has many times paid for any encomiums we may now accord to him. The Stout Institute conferred the Doctor of Science degree upon him in 1927. g £ £73 ROBtRT Lawifnce Cooley Probably no man in recent years in any divi- sion or department of education because of actual accomplishment has become so widely known throughout America as has Kobert I.awrencc Cooley. He not only pioneered in part-time voca- tional education in this country but he has year after year maintained the had in his chosen field Of education. He has within a few years taken his place as the chief ex lonent of compulsory part-time education and lias stood its able de- fender. The degree of Doctor of Science in In dustrial Education was conferred upon him by The Stout Institute in 1925. Gerald DiForrest Whitney Having taken both undergraduate and graduate work at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Gerald DeForreat Whitney began nil educational career along lines similar to those which have made Stout nationally known. That preparation supplemented by further work taken at the Uni- versity of Pftttburg and at Columbia made possi- ble his well known accomplishments in teaching ind supervisory experience. His keen mind and his determined ambition, in addition |o his record of accomplishments, well justified the honor confer- red upon him by this institution in 1927 when he was granted the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Educ ation. (S )i£73 £ ' John Calvin W ' kh.iii Under the leadership of John Calvin Wright. Director of the Federal Hoard for Vocational Edit, cation, the new movement for vocational educa- tion has gone steadily forward year by year. He has influenced legislation, both state and national, has ironed out difficulties in various states, and made his own department into a harmoniuiis and influential organization headed toward still greater accomplishments. The St.mt Institute honored itself when it honored J. C. Wright by conferring upon him in 1926 the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. Adflaidl Steele Baylor The Stout Institute has been interested in Home Economics, Domestic Science, and Homeinakiny for many years. Miss Adelaide Steele I ' .aylor li;i - for several years devoted her masterful abilities to this same field of educational opportunity. A- teachcr, supervisor, lecturer, author, she has done much to advance the cause of Home Economics. Iler work in many localities has been far reach- ing, Sbe bai become an outstanding exponent of the best and most practical in education of the women in America. St-nt conferred upon her the degree of Doctor of Science in Home Economics in 1928. S £)i£?2 © L £)j-2 Lawil Albert Wilsox Lewii Alliert Wilson is still a young man. During recent years he has done much to make secure the place of vocational and industrial edu- cation, but uli.it In- has done is of small conse- quencC compared to what be will do in the years before him. Dr. Wilson is able, ingenious, and fearless. He has established himself in the con- fidence of those with whom he i associated. He is now better prepared to do significant things than before. Stout in 1926 showed its Bpfi) tlon by conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. Nicholas Ricciardi Nicholas Ricciardi earned both his Bachelor ' s and his Master ' s degrees in the University of Cal ifornia. His experience in teaching and his posi- tion a» supervisor gave him still further prepara- tion for the work which earned for bini an en- viable reputation. It is possible, however, that his earlier and varied experience in industry had as much to do with his later success as did his col- lege training. As a lecturer and author he is widely known, particularly among those interested Id industrial and vocational education. He was given his degree of Doctor of Science in Indus- trial Education in 1928. 119291 Page io
