Foreword As the Tower clock ticks away, another year has passed forever. Into the past has gone every - thing but memory of all that happened during the hours, the weeks, the months of study; gone too are the activities that comprise the year now ending. And for all of us, a year of remembrances has become an integral part of our lives. Just as incidents which occurred in classrooms will not depart from us, so scenes of the campus, and all we associate with them, will remain forever a part of our memories. This is your Tower. With camera and pen we have tried to capture and record for you those carefree college days to which at some future time you will long to return, if only for an hour. Another scholastic year is done with, and at the same time another Tower has been produced, following months of work and preparation. Sighs of relief by students, glad that their studies are finished for a time, are echoed by the students who, in addition to their studies, have managed to publish a yearbook. The compilation of a yearb x)k is a thankless task at best. Therefore, we urge you to view this publication with an open mind, to be not hasty in appraising the net results, to be not hesitant in o(Tering approval. With trepidation, the staff presents the 1949 Tower, for the pro- motion of. Learning. Skill. Industry, and Honor.

Dedication In past years. The Tower, by custom, has dedicated its annua] publica- tion to some past or present member of the faculty in appreciation of his or her services. However this year, we, the members of The Tower staff, would like to dedicate this book to the hundreds of teachers whom this institution has graduated into the held of education to better provide the youth of America with a knowledge which will aid them in attaining the best, both spiritually and materially, which life has to offer. These men and women have been truly superb salesmen, both of the Stout Institute and of educa- tion itself. Every college or university requires of its students, as an integral part of their scholastic preparation, a certain amount of loyalty, cooperation, and pride in its standards: it desires from them too a unified school spirit of the type that throughout their lives builds traditions, strengthens foundations, and secures the future of any institution of learning. A teacher who can broaden and enliven a wealth of intellectual experience with the sparkling freshness so desirabk- to young people needs no more to win the admiration of those students and thus guide and inspire them for all time.
