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.

The Technology Wing houses administrative offices and other facilities for the College of Management. The science wing also houses the Discovery Center, a unit dedicated to advancing the polytechnic focus of the university. By integrating UW-Stout’s applied research assets, its faculty and students and its relationships with community and industry leaders, the Discovery Center facilitates collaborative partnerships leading to innovative solutions for business, real-world learning for students and increased economic development. 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. 28 University of Wisconsin-Stout
