EMERSON The development of an educational institution is not an instantaneous thing, a sudden, brilliant eruption. A school grows, develops, matures from what is often a humble, if significant, beginning. In such a manner has Stout State College risen from a local manual training school to a position of international eminence in its field. Conceived in the mind of a farfsighted lumber baron, a unique school was planted in Menomonie, teaching cooking and bench woodworking as a supplement to the city's educational system. Outgrown, burned, rebuilt, the school was nurtured by Senator Stout until in 1903 it opened its doors as the Stout Training School for Teachers. By 1908 the school had become The Stout Institute, and the facilities, curricula, and reputation of Stout grew as its founder had dreamed and planned. Stoutis physical plant expanded from the original two-room manual training building of 1889 to the present campus which includes a home economics building, industrial arts buildings, library, natatorium and gym' nasium, and three dormitories. A student Union has just been completed, and Stoutis future growth is foreseen in the inception of plans for more expansion. Academically, Stout has developed a liberal arts program which extends students' interests from their technical fields so that today it offers a very broad college course. Students graduating from Stout with technical degrees may have minors in such diversified areas as English, speech, physical science, social science, biology, or journalism. Yet Stout retains the high quality of the industrial and home economics departments which have spread the name of Stout throughout the United States and the world. Today Stout offers degrees in home economics, industrial education, and industrial technology. It also provides work which leads to a master's degree. Enrollment at Stout has leaped from the original two men and twenty-three women at the 1903 opening to a student population of over twelve hundred in 1959. Bowman Hall is the oldest of Stoutis present campus buildings i -4.
