? ' ■ fck A glimpse of Stout from Lake Menomin The President ' s Message With the conclusion of this college year, the time has come again for another graduating class to leave our campus. As has been true of classes for a good many years, these graduates will enter a variety of occupations in many different localities. Thev carry with them from Stout this yearbook, whose theme is Hands. ' ' Such a motif is an excellent choice, because in their years here our seniors have developed the technical abilities and know-how which will prove so valuable to them in their professional endeavors. But a Stout State College education has made possible much more than technical competence. Almost half of the col- lege credits which each senior has accumulated in four years are in academic or professional education. It was to assure such harmonious balance that each student completed required minors in academic areas. This blending of technical, academic, and professional education is designed to prepare broadly-educated, apperceptive individuals. Such graduates ore competent and eager to accept their full share of responsibility in today ' s complex societv. However, the competence which is now theirs goes beyond the willingness and ability to earn a good living or even to achieve professional prominence, important as these factors mov be. In addition, our a r aduates are capable of appreciating fhe social, economic, and aesthetic environment in which they work and live. Thus another class of graduates leaves Stout State College. The training of their hands is well depicted throughout the Danes of this yearbook. But with them thev carry also the knowledge and attributes of allied academic and professional studies which truly create well-educated individuals. 13
