A IWESSAIJE TU THE SE IIIKS To the Class of 50 The Stout Institute Within the covers of this yearbook are frequent references, in word and photograph, to the uniqueness of The Stout Institute. Those of us who know and love the college realize that such a theme is indeed an apt choice, for uniqueness is defined as the state of having no like or equal, unequalled. You, as members of this year ' s graduating class, have completed four years of training on our campus. We who have taught you are confident of your success as you put that education to work, for we believe that you possess from Stout a training which is truly unequalled in thoroughness and practicality. You have been trained in America ' s great tradition of free, democratic education, so you possess a tolerance and breadth of thought invaluable to your potential learners; you have been taught by skilled, humane teachers, so you in turn will demonstrate those vital characteristics; you have worked in the most modern of shops and laboratories, so your technical skill and knowledge will be without peer among those with whom you live. As you leave us, we ask in all sincerity that you aid us in keeping Stout unique. That power is yours by the technical advancements which you contribute to your field; by the personal example, in classroom, community, and family life, which you set for all whom you may contact; by the pains- taking acknowledgement of vocational aptitudes evident among your learners. Now you have achieved your goal, graduation; now you will go forth. I too feel the mood of a graduate, for I have completed a four-year course as president of The Stout Institute and have begun what might be termed post-graduate work in that field. Together, in these fleeting years, we have worked toward individual goals and toward making our college ever-stronger. We have both attained graduation. We part now; and to you, in equal measure with those of us who remain behind, falls the solemn obligation to keep our college diligent, resolute, and unique. Sincerely yours, Verne G. Fryklund President CUD
