WISCONSIN erriec or tut »«i i i t MTiluaO Mil !«■■ June 1, 1949 To the Class of ' 49 The Stout Institute Progress, whether It be made by an individual or an institution, is evidence of the vitality , growth, and usefulness of the person or organization which has advanced. As I contemplate the achievements of the Class of 1949 and of the college in which its members have been a vital part, I feel that both can say with- out misgiving that they have truly progressed. You, the members of the Class of 1949, can look upon your endeavors of the past four years as time and effort spent in a manner worthy of the precious opportunity which has been yours. Your development has indeed been progress: you came to us as learners, eager for knowledge; now you leave us as college -trained persons, eager to impart that knowledge to others. And progress is ever-continuing. There will always be about you the opportunity to press onward in your search for the Improvement of self, of your chosen vocation, of your nation, and of all mankind. If your college is to train graduates capable of progress, it too must be constantly advancing. Your faculty has done its share by providing you with the best possible instruction. The remodeling and re-equipping under way in the laboratories and shops is again evidence that your college strives always to keep pace with the ever-broadening needs of its students. Yes, vitality and growth and usefulness are evident in the college careers which you are completing. Their presence in the college too is evidenced by the ever- enlarging student popula- tion which comes to the campus. 3ut progress is ceaseless ir. its demands. To you falls the responsibility for constant enhancement of the skills and knowledge gained at this college; to us falls the obligation to keep that college great. Sincerel 4 -j Verne C .
