WE DEDICATE ... IN MEMORY OF . . . WILLIAM II. IIAhEH WILLIAM R. BAKKR The Stout Institute 1933-1949 When the lect of our children walk through the halls of The Stout Institute, when their voices cheer new teams, when their pencils write stories of events important to young lives — somewhere in the shuffle ol tcet, the enthusiasm of future homecomings, the columns of the Stoutonia and the pages of the Tower will Ik the ideas and chinking of William R. Baker. a student at The Stout Institute Ik- decided that some day he would become one of the fac- ulty, an active part of an organization that intrigued and fascinated him. That dream became a real- ity in 1933 when Mr. Baker became a member of the teaching stalf of The Stout Institute. It was the opportunity to grow and become a pan of the school that caused him to develop the Stout Graphic Arts department, to build one of the best reference libraries for that department, and to organize the Stout alumni throughout the world. Alter sixteen industrious years, this man, who was the symbol of the Stout print shop and was affectionately known as Bill or the old man to Stout graduates the world over, passed away on June 6, 1949. The teachings of Mr. Baker remain in the character of his former students: his ideas h.iw become a part cf The Stout Institute and will continue to live throughout the years.

We have attempted to cap- . ture the typical everyday life of a typical Stout student in the form of Johnny, who in his four wars .n The Stout Institute, found that school is not all play, hut rather that college life should stimulate a deep intellectual as well as spiritual growth; in short, it should develop the whole individual. In his life at Stout, new opportunities have been opened in the social, musical, artistic, literary, and skilled fields, all ol which enrich the life of Johnny Bluedevil and other students at Stout. With camera and pen we have tried to capture your college days which in hours, days, and years to come will leave an everlasting impression upon your life.
