DEGREES
Joint Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Honoris Causa
Dwight and Linda Davis
University of Wisconsin-Stout confers the degrees Doctors of Humane Letters Honoris Causa upon
Dwight and Linda Davis who have dedicated their lives to improving the communities where they
have lived, the companies with which they have been associated and all forms of education across
Wisconsin.
You have given generously of your time, advice, and financial resources to advance the mission of
UW-Stout, which will have a lasting effect for decades to come. For years you have provided multiple
annual scholarships to UW-Stout students, and a few years ago established an endowed chair to
support “transformational leadership.” This endowment aids the university in carrying out various
initiatives to maintain excellence and relevancy.
In 2009, the United Way of Marathon County recognized you for over thirty years of leadership and
philanthropic contributions by conferring the Tocqueville Award, the highest award given by United Way.
Your efforts extend to many other areas. You have supported the arts, parks and recreation, animal
welfare, historic preservation, senior citizen programs and youth development in Wausau, Chippewa
Falls and Door County.
Education has always held a special place in your hearts. You are graduates of UW-Stout, and as an
undergraduate, Dwight became involved with the American Industry Project, an initiative to assure
that the curriculum at UW-Stout was in sync with the needs of the business world.
Lifelong learners, Dwight obtained a doctorate and used that credential to move through the
faculty and administrative ranks until becoming president of the North Central Technical College in
Wausau. After nearly twenty successful years in education, you moved on to the private sector, taking
leadership positions at Wausau Insurance Companies, where you later served as president, and finally,
serving as chairman and CEO of Greenheck Corporation of Schofield, Wisconsin.
Greenheck has grown to be a global leader in the air movement and control industry under your
leadership. UW-Stout has benefited from this growth through your company’s employment of a
significant number of Stout graduates, and the company’s donation of ventilation equipment for
UW-Stout facilities. Furthermore, you ensured that all these organizations placed a priority on
supporting and benefiting the communities in which they operated.
Your dedication to the betterment of the state of Wisconsin, higher education and your community
has earned you these citations.
It is our high honor to award to you these degrees, given in Menomonie, Wisconsin, this 12th day of
May 2012.

Harvey Hall Theatre
The 95-year-old, historic theater reopened on April 1,
2011, after a $5.6 million renovation last fall and
winter. The theater, originally called Stout Institute
Auditorium, opened on May 30, 1916. The renovation
included reconstruction of the stage and stage rigging,
lighting and sound systems, dressing rooms, entrance,
vestibules and box office. In keeping with the historic
nature of a 1920s theater, the aesthetics are very warm,
comfortable and welcoming.
Actor James Whitmore, presidential hopeful John F.
Kennedy and the Vienna Boys Choir are just some of the
well-known people and performers who have appeared on
stage at historic Harvey Hall Theatre at UW-Stout.

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.

Bowman Hall
Bowman Hall characterizes UW-Stout. At the center of campus, its solid
traditional exterior houses a modern interior devoted to serving students.
The building is home to a variety of student service offices including
Dean of Students, Counseling Center, Disability Services, Multicultural
Student Services, Advisement Center, Registration and Records, Student
Support Services and Financial Aid. Planning, Assessment, Quality and
Research moved to Bowman Hall in spring 2011.
The building is named for Clyde A. Bowman who came to Stout in 1919
to administer the industrial education division. His tenure spanned the
administrations of three Stout Institute presidents, and he served as a
temporary president upon L. D. Harvey’s death.

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 doctoralstyle 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 Program 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.
