Tlw Pueaidentb Wleooage The theme of this year's TOWER is based upon the well known - and often proved - maxim, Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow. Such a motif is particularly appropriate for a college yearbook because of the very nature of colleges and the people who attend them. For instance, consider the growth of Stout State College. From a simple two-room building erected in the late l88O's by Senator James H. Stout, the physical plant of the college has expanded into class- room and shop buildings, a fine new library, and a steadily increasing number of dormitories. Under way now is a shop-laboratory-classroom structure that will provide additional modern facilities which we so badly need. Further growth is promised in the future: an enlarged campus, a physical education building, a science building, and other necessary equipment, services, and buildings. The Great Oaks from Little Acorns simile is The men's dormitory now under construction faces Bertha Tainter Hall on the bank of Lake Menomin appropriate, also, to describe the continuing devel- opment of persons who choose Stout as their institution of higher learning. The growth of these individuals is evident during the freshman year and increases as commencement nears. But even then, the progress of such acorns is just beginning. The alumni records of our college tell of graduate after graduate whose achievements have earned for those individuals public and professional recognition as great oaks in their fields of endeavor. Now another senior class leaves the campus. Here, its members have had the opportunity to learn and to mature. But before them, as before Stout graduating classes for over half a century, lies oppor- tunities for continuing challenge and development. These graduates carry with them our sincere desire that their future growth will reflect credit upon them personally, upon their profession, and upon Stout State College.
