orncE or the president V the s f TouT Institute MENOMONIE. WISCONSIN rimuao rituHai May 29, 1953 To the Class of ' 53 The Stout Institute In many ways, this past college year has been a time of great gain for The Stout Institute, its students, and its faculty. Progress has been made in the construction of our long-awaited library. New laboratories and shops are in use. Additional student personnel services are now available. However, the year was also a time of loss. Clyde A. Bowman, Dean of Industrial Education for thirty-three years, retired from our faculty. The dedication of this year- book to Dean Bowman is our attempt to express, in some measure, the respect and pride and affection which we feel for this great educator. Prom Dean Bowman ' s life and service to education, all of us can draw inspiration. His accomplishments in classroom teaching and educational administration are goals toward which any Stout graduate can be proud to strive. The prestige which his skill and knowledge gained for The Stout Institute and for himself is indeed worthy of emulation. In his personal relations, too, Dean Bowman ' s career serves as a model to any graduate about to enter upon a career. Young teachers will do well to develop ambition, perseverance, patience, consideration, kindness, and humor. All these qualities were apparent in Dean Bowman. All of them he employed as unstintingly in the best interests of those about him as for himself. Thus in Dean Bowman ' s career at The Stout Institute is a lesson for each of us. For you, as graduates ready to assume the responsibilities of democratic society, the lesson is one of challenge and of faith in the educative process. For us, the faculty and administration of the college, that lesson calls for unceasing diligence and zeal in our grave task of educating the generations of students who are yet to come. Sincerely yours, Verne C. President ii
