m _J ■ m J F 1 !Z h1 III THE 1948 TOWER Annual Publication of The Stout Student Associa- tion of The Stout Institute, Menomonie, Wisconsin Q . i THE STOUT INSTITUTE MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN Louis Bi rmeister: Editor Russell Gerber: Business Manager Mr. Dnvicht Chin (k:k: Stuff Advisor Mr. Thomas Fleming: Literary Advisor 0 lT IN MEM Ittiss Louise Buchanan The untimely death of Miss Louise Buchanan in an automobile accident, November 22, shocked the entire college. For over 20 years a member of Stout ' s department of foods and nutrition, she had endeared herself to all with her quiet charm and sincerity. Biu nman ' s concept of education was truly reflected in the adequacy of her teach- ing. Unobtrusive, yet constantly alert and always seeding improvement in those she taught. her achievements were not aimed at attracting notice; rather they developed within her stu- dents the values which would serve them well throughout life. A colleague in the home economics division once said of Louise Buchanan. All the women who ever studied under her, lifted her. For one who devoted her life to teaching, that is the perfect tribute. m O RY OF Harry f . Good Many years ago, Harry F. Good, in answer to a questionnaire inquiring of his teaching experience, replied, My greatest satisfaction from teaching comes in seeing the success at- tained b young persons who were once my students. Such a philosophy is truly typical of a man whose entire career did honor to the teaching profession. In Mr. Good ' s death, January 27, the college lost a true friend and a valued instructor. Never too busy to aid a student or a student group, he was closely allied with formation and direction of Stout ' s early singing organization, was a member of the social affairs com- mittee, and was sponsor of F.O.B. fraternity. He was a tireless worker, while on the Stout housing committee, in providing adequate housing for student veterans. A classroom instructor of high achievement, beloved by both those he taught and with whom he worked, Harry F. Good was our friend. We shall not forget him. m Administration Dr. Verne C.

His teaching is in the fields of political science and education. Through his service on the Faculty Committee o n Student Affairs and on the Stout Housing Committee, he has made definite contributions to the welfare of the college and the students. The men of Stout appreciate his work in the handling of many of their problems. Dean Price took his undergraduate work at the Saint Cloud State Teachers College in Min- nesota, and the University of Minnesota. His graduate study was also done at the University of Minnesota. Dean Bowman lias done invaluable work in the field of industrial education since 1919, when he became a member of The Stout Insti- tute faculty. He is a recognized leader of the new graduate program which oilers a fifth year of work for graduate students. Dean Bowman has been with Stout since it developed from a two-year training school to a full-fledged four- year teachers college and has kept the school ' s shops and courses abreast of the times. Merle M. Price Dean of Men C123 Dr. Alice J. Kirk assumed the position of the Dean of the division of Home Economics in September when she filled the vacancy left by Dean Michaels. Dr. Kirk ' s work has not been confined to college teaching only, although she has spent a considerable amount of time in the field of college education. She has served as director of home economics at Rochester Insti- tute of Technology, Rochester, New Y ' ork; Russell Sage College, Troy, New York: and the University of Denver, Denver, Colorado. For seven years she was the regional director for the national organization of Girl Scouts. Miss Kirk holds a Doctor ' s Degree and a Master ' s degree from Columbia University and a Bachelor ' s degree from the University of Wis- consin. Dr. Alice J. Kirk Dean, Division of Home Economics A member of the faculty since 1936. she was appointed Dean of Women in 1945. Her con- stant contact with young women through social organizations and as director of physical educa- tion for women has given her valuable experi- ence which adds to her qualifications as Dean of Women. Dean Antrim has given many hours of valuable assistance to make the student union a success. She received her R.A. degree from Lake Forest, Illinois, and her Ph. M. de- gree from the University of Wisconsin. Ketlrah Antrim Dean of Women nil •v DERBERC Instructor of Industrial Education Woodworking K. T. ( I.M N fit Professor of Int. Education Woodworking, Carpentry H. M. Hansen Associate Professor of Industrial Education Woodworking Deportment Woodworking was among the first courses of the original in the Industrial Education courses Stout. Woodworking was offered in the program for co-ordination of hand. mind, and eye. Later in the trend toward what is now known as Industrial Education, woodworking became one ol the basic technical courses offered in teacher training. Cabinet making and mi II work were added and taught in what is now the maintenance mu engineering worshop. The present engine room was the mill- room. Woodturning occupied the present printing press room. In l y H the shops were moved to the trade building and many additions made to the curricu- lum. Also, knowledge of wood and its properties, and the most effective and correct methods of its use are presented in the field. n-n Ok MM R F. Kranzi . Issociatc Professor of Industrial Education Auto Mechanics, General Mechanics John [arvis ' .ant Professor of Science unci and Mathematics Electricity and General Mechanics Department In 1918 and 1919 two new courses were opened to students at Stout. The iirst was a course in auto mechanics, which was begun in very small surroundings and now is taught in a shop well equipped tor instruction in both construction and servicing. The second course, offered in spi; limited facilities, wis in the held of electricity. Through the years these shops have grown and at the present feature four courses in auto mechanics, three in electricity, two in radio, two in general mechanics, physics III (strength of materials). .uu general industrial mechanics. These courses. however, arc still limited by the space needed that they may function according to the demands of the shops, but every elTort to train teachers in these fields is being made.

Graphic Arts Deportment 1 he trends in industrial education have been such that the importance of drawing in connection with shop work has been revealed more and more. When the college was first opened, only one course in mechanical drawing was offered in the curriculum: however, at the present time, because ol enlarged facilities, some fifteen courses are being offered to students now in attendance. Drawings related an printing lias been taught at Stout since 1 ( 17 and the future trend is to correlate print- ing and drawing courses to facilitate the application ot the principles ol layout and design, color the- ory, and bindery learned in one field for transfer to the other field. Also included in the graphic- arts are visual aids and school publications. [16] 1 [arolo C. Musis tsoi iate Professor of Industrial Education Machine Shop. Foundry.

In its development to date, the shop represents opportunities for work with metal, machine tools, sheet metal, bench metal, oxy- acetylene welding, forging, and heat treating. The past emergency has shown the vital importance of metal work in our modern civilization. The plan of equipment, the organization, the operation of the general metals shop all produce a flexi- bility which makes it possible to keep the work up-to-date. New materials, new processes, new hand a u machine tools, and the laiestest combination of them will constantly he part ot the working opportunities tor the students in this shop. CI7D Clara ( ' .

The student is thus enabled to use and interpret food am! nutritional facts in whatever field of work she enters. In addition to the basic courses, two special curriculums are offered tor those who wish to pre- pare tor institutional management and dietetics. There are many positions in hospitals, restaurants, schools, industrial plants, etc.. open to people who have followed either of these curriculums. Graduate courses arc also offered in this department leading to the degree of Master of Science in home economics with a major in foods and nutrition. CI8] i b w 1 1 a .ki.

Clothing Lillian Jeter Head of Department of Clothing and Professor of Home Economics Mrs. Ralph Bitterly Instructor of Clothing Clothing Department The ability t  make clothing is generally recognized as being a valuable economic resource. The additional opportunity, afforded by this ability rbr satisfying the creative experiences essential to men t.il and emotion. il well-being, is less generally recognized bill is also important. The Stout Institute offers basic and elective courses in clothing construction. The clothing curriculum, both undergradu- ate and graduate, is designed to contribute primarily to the personal development of the student and to her professional preparation for the teaching of home economics.

It is a combined department made up of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathem. The primary objective of most courses in this department is to provide basic information necess.iry tor an understanding of many of the phases of home economics and industrial education. Much ol the background of work in foods and nutrition and textiles lies in the fields of chemistry, biology, mkI bacteriology. Likev much of the background of work in drawing, electricity, mechanics, metals, and construction lies in the fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, ( nurses m science also include among their objectives: an understand- ing of the meaning of scientific methods; an ability to think honestly, clearly, mk constructively: and an in- terest in and an appreciation of the world about us and ourselves.

C263 H MOLD K I Director and Associate Profc Music Music hath charms! So also Stout hath charms in the realms of music. Music has been a wel- come portion of Stout ' s curriculum, a vibrant portion with which every student has come m contact. In the music courses offered, the students receive instruction in techniques of ear training, rhythm no- tation, diatonic and chromatic scales, chord instruction, and acoustics. The various musical groups have been very active in playing at games, before assemblies, tor special programs, and tor their spe- cial concerts during the year. Perhaps the best known work of The Stout Institute music department, however, has been the development of its excellent choral groups. [27] . Keturah Antrim Education and Dean of Women Rw C.

This was a difficult task because the hoys had to go out of town t gel enough material to give it the proper touch. While the hoys were engaged in construction the girls were working on the homecoming lloat. This class was on the job to make the 1947 homecoming a big success. The Freshmen were assigned to dean up after the all school homecoming dance which is also a traditional job for them. The class also took it upon themselves to decorate the gym for the mid- semester mixer and they kept in harmony with the spirit of the school . m placed large report cards on the walls, giving the class marks for all extra curncular activities.

The new organization, known as the Stout Student Association, was set up to promote a spirit of school co-operation and to secure tor students a definite mu responsible vote in school affairs. Every student, upon enrolling, automatically becomes a number and receives weekly StOUtoniaS, a copy of the Tower, and an activity ticket. This activity ticket entitles him to admission to all concerts by student musical organizations, to play produc- tions ot the Manual Arts Players, to iyceum and assembly programs, and to student dances. Four student execul who are elected by the student body, represent the students before the administration. This year the S.S.A. has Sponsored six dances: the Hall Ail-School mixer, the two Homecoming dances, the Christ- mas dance, the Mid-Semester All-School mixer, and the r Frolic. Treasurer WALLACE HAMMERBERC5 C66D • K Student Governing Board The student governing board, which is composed of both faculty and student members, has served its first full year. The primary job of the board has been the revision of dorm rules and their installment. It has helped also in the revision of the student handbook, the revision of the p ini sys- tem for students engaged in extra-curricular activities, and the revision of student government pro- visions into the constitutions. The board also has assisted in formulating the procedure in handling the problems of students who cut classes. The student governing board is always glad to aid any student who needs help or counseling mu it is willing to be mediator for any student who has a problem which net a meeting with any of the faculty or administration.

Many of its activities, however, are designated t serve the col- lege and the community. Among these are the campus sister movement, the annual sunrise services, help for the needy families of Menomonie, and, for a climax, the senior picnic.
