If fhis be frue, River Falls Sfafe Teachers College represenfs fhe confribufion of J. l-l. Ames fo feacher educafion. For fwenfy-nine years he has been presidenf of fhis col- lege and has seen if grow from a normal school largely concerned wifh professional subiecfs fo a degree granfing insfifufion of high repufafion in fhe sfafe. Indeed, if is in no small way fhe lengfhened shadow of fhis man. J. l-l. Ames was fhe son of a fafher whose life was spenf in Wisconsin's greaf fimber areas. l-le was educafed firsf in fhe rural schools of Qufagamie Counfy and lafer grad- uafed from fhe normal school af Sfevens Poinf. In fhis area he sfarfed his feaching career. The adminisfrafive field soon inferesfed him and he became supervising prin- cipal of Cumberland, Ellsworfh, and Sfanley before furning fo fhe Universify, where, under Frederic Jackson Turner and Carl Russel Fish, his firsf love for hisfory was kin- dled. This field of sfudy had a sfrong hold on him fhroughouf his whole life, even fhough mosf of his energies have been spenf in adminisfrafion. ln I909 Mr. Ames ioined fhe social science sfaff af River Falls Normal, buf soon leff if for a posifion wifh fhe Universify Exfension af Eau Claire. l-lowever, in l9I4 he was recalled fo River Falls where he became superinfendenf of fhe Training School, a posifion he held unfil appoinfed presidenf in IQI7. ln fhese fwenfy-nine years of service, Presidenf Ames has direcfed fhe insfifufion fhrough nofhing shorf of a revolufion. l-le regards fhe mefamorphosis from a normal school fo a college, and fhe recognifion of fhe new sfafure of fhe insfifufion by fhe Norfh Cenfral Associafion of Colleges and Universifies, as fhe principal hisforical facf of fhe lasf fwenfy-nine years. Planf expansion has followed, nof led, fhe growfh of fhe school over fhe years. In fhis period has been added a new wing fo Norfh l-lall, a new Manual Arfs Building, fhe college farm, Ramer Field, and fhe infirmaryg now in process of consfrucfion is an aparfmenf building for veferans. Prexy ai' 'the game. The TransiTion Trom normal school To college is beTTer shown in The Training oT The Tac- uITy. In I9I7 one-Third oT The Teaching sTaTT did noT have The bacheIor's degree, over one-Third had The baccaIaureaTe, and less Than one-Third had The masTer's hood. To- day nearly all oT The sTaTT have The masTer's degree and mosT oT Them have graduaTe Training above ThaT. The curriculum OT TwenTy-nine years ago had in iT I94 courses below college grade oTTered To sTudenTs who were noT high school graduaTes. When, in I927, The Tour-year course oT sTudy leading To The bacheIor's degree was esTabIished, an imporTanT break was made wiTh The pasTg and since Then sTandards oT admission and quaIiTy oT Teaching have sTeadiIy risen. IT is no accidenT ThaT PresidenT Ames had The compIeTe conTidence oT The governing board in Those years when The college was being builT. I-Iis long experience in Teach- ing and adminisTraTion, his greaT inTeresT in one Tield oT learning in parTicuIar and oT learning in general, his creaTive drive ThaT has caused him To become The coauThor oT Tour American hisTory TexTs and one volume on educaTion in Wisconsin, These TacTors explain much abouT how The solid basis upon which he has slowly builT here has been recognized by The governing regenTs. FacuITy and sTudenTs who have lived and worked wiTh him will always remember ThaT his counsel was good and his aTTiTudes noT subiecT To whim or Tancy. The college, leT iT here be recorded, is in a large sense The resulT noT only oT hisToric Torces ThaT aTTecTed all insTiTuTions oT higher learning in This period buT also The resulT oT wise sTewardship Tor over a quarTer oT a cenTury. The adminisTraTion oT J. I-I. Ames is now commiTTed To hisTory. IT should be a comTorT To him in his remaining years To know ThaT TuTure adminisTraTions are noT likely To Tear down ThaT which he builT, buT more probably will build on Trom where he IeTT oTT.
