Millennium Hall
Aptly named Millennium Hall, the building was constructed in 2000
and dedicated the following year. This technology-based facility was
designed for distance learning; faculty, staff and student training;
telecommunications and computer support; and media production. It is also
available to local business and industry to aid in their needs for on-site or
distance-delivered training and communications.
This state-of-the-art facility is home to UW-Stout’s distance education
classrooms, as well as the offices of Telecommunications and Networking,
Learning Technology Services and the Nakatani Teaching and Learning
Center. The Admissions office relocated to Millennium Hall in spring 2011.

With happiness and good fortune we have met.
Let’s drink the best of wine, rejoice and sing,
And enjoy this joyful moment together.
As pristine as the water of the East Sea,
as gentle as the fruit tree leaves.
With good wishes and luck we have met.
Let’s raise our wine cups, rejoice and sing,
And enjoy this happy moment together.

University of Wisconsin-Stout
The Naming of UW-Stout
At several points in the school’s history, its name changed, either as a sign of a
change in administration or as an attempt to change the image of the institution.
Stout Manual Training Schools, 1891 to 1908
Under the auspices of the Menomonie Public Schools, James Huff Stout funded
various educational enterprises. In 1891, manual training and domestic science
training was introduced through the Stout Manual Training School. 1894
brought the introduction of kindergarten classes. In 1899, the Kindergarten
Training School began to prepare kindergarten teachers. A School of Physical
Culture opened in 1901, which provided physical training. In 1903, training
schools for manual training teachers and domestic science teachers were added.
By 1907, a Homemaker’s School had opened and a trade school was planned.
The Stout Institute, 1908 to 1955
To simplify administration and clarify ownership of and responsibility for the
various public and Stout Training Schools, The Stout Institute was formed in
1908. The institute was designed to “provide facilities in the way of buildings,
equipment and teachers, through which young people of both sexes may secure such
instruction and training in industrial and related lines of educational effort as will
enable them to become efficient industrial, social and economic units within their
environment.” In 1911, following Senator Stout’s death, ownership transferred to
the State of Wisconsin.
Stout State College, 1955 to 1964
The Stout Institute Board of Trustees was abolished, and the institution came
under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents of the State Colleges, a move that
the institute board resisted, fearing a loss of prestige from being a special college. In
retrospect, joining the “league,” as President Fryklund expressed it, proved to be a
distinct advantage to the school and its faculty.
Stout State University, 1964 to 1971
The name change was authorized by the Board of Regents who believed that
the “state colleges had reached another plateau in their development.” Increased
enrollment brought new and enlarged facilities. A traditional focus was
maintained even while new majors were added and new directions were given to
established majors.
University of Wisconsin-Stout, 1971 to present
The Wisconsin State Universities and the University of Wisconsin campuses
merged to form the University of Wisconsin System. UW-Stout was designated
by the Board of Regents as one of only two special mission universities in the UW
System. UW-Stout was to offer focused programs “related to professional careers
in industry, technology, home economics, applied art and the helping professions.”
In March 2007, UW-Stout was designated “Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University”
by the UW System Board of Regents.

Alma Mater
On the banks of Lake Menomin
Stands our alma mater true,
With tower high and brilliant “S”
For her we’ll dare and do.
We’ll sing her praises many,
We’ll glorify her name
And on throughout the years of time
Our love for Stout proclaim.
Academic Regalia
Many colorful robes are seen at college and university graduation ceremonies. Academic
regalia date to the medieval origins of the university, when most scholars were also
members of religious orders. Robes were also needed in those days to keep warm.
Today’s academic robes are largely standardized, although individual universities often
make exceptions. Bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s robes are typically black, but differ in
style. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the master’s has oblong sleeves, and the
doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s gown is also trimmed in the front
with black velvet, with three velvet crossbars on each sleeve.
At UW-Stout, faculty and advanced-degree graduates also wear traditional hoods.
The doctor’s hood is longer than the master’s, and has a wider velvet edging. For both
master’s and doctor’s hoods, the hood is lined with academic colors of the granting
institution (UW-Stout’s academic colors are blue and white), and the velvet trimming
marks the academic discipline of the degree.
The UW-Stout Chancellor, University Marshal, Assistant Marshals, and any other faculty
member holding a doctorate who so desires may be seen wearing the UW-Stout doctoral
robe. This robe is blue, representing the university’s academic colors, with black doctoral
style velvet edging and sleeve crossbars. The UW-Stout doctoral hood is lined with blue
and white — the academic colors.
Mortarboard tassels for UW-Stout bachelor’s graduates are white for those being awarded
a bachelor of arts degree, yellow for the bachelor of science degree.
UW-Stout Honors College graduates are recognized with a royal blue satin stole.
Graduating students who are members of recognized learned and/or professional societies
may be honored for special academic achievement by wearing regalia such as a neck
honor cord, ribbon, or suspended medallion.
