Wittenberg's new first family brought a versatile and distinguished background with them when they ar- rived on our campus. The accomplishments of our first lay president are the complement to a full character. Though a descendant of William Stoughton, a past lieutenant governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Dr. Stoughton started his career at the bottom as a lad holding such positions as a grocery store handyman, working in letter press and tailor shops, and as an office boy. To avail himself of a college education, he worked as a tutor, press operator, floor sweeper in a carriage factory, highway laborer, and a typesetter for a Roches- ter newspaper. Our eighth president earned degrees from the University of Rochester and Columbia Uni- versity. Honorary degrees were given to him by Gettys- burg. Muhlenberg and Wagner Colleges. For sixteen years Dr. Stoughton held high positions at Wagner College, and for ten years he served as its first lay president. He then travelled for four years as ex- ecutive secretary of the Lutheran Layman's Movement for Stewardship and Secretary of Stewardship for the United Lutheran Church in America. He also has been exalted and employed in many other capacities by the United Lutheran Church. Beyond all this, he has written two books on religion. Not eclipsed by her husband's career, Mrs. Stoughton also has been active in church and community affairs. As Dr. Stoughton, she is a native of Rochester, New York where she attended Rochester Training School for Teachers. She taught the fourth grade in Rochester be- fore her marriage. At present she is director of the Pro- testant Council of Staten Island, and chairman of its social action committee. She is a director of the New York City Council of Church Women, the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Staten Missionary Society of her church; and she is the Staten Island Trustee for the New York City Fed- eration of Women's Clubs. Their daughter, Jeanne, a Wagner College graduate, was a communications officer with the WAVES, holding the rank of lieutenant (jg). She now is studying for her M.A. at Ohio State University. Donald, their son, has been assistant circulation manager of The Lutheran in Philadelphia and is now a student at Hamma Divinity School. Seated in the living room of their home having a family chitchat are Dr. and Mrs. Clarence C. Stoughton, daughter Jeanne, son Donald and his wife Adele.
