On Excellence--Illustrated Through Four Exemplars.
- Authors
Lewis, Theodore
- Abstract
The author reflects on the concept of excellence and social responsibility through some individuals and institutions that he has encountered in his life. According to the author, the main event in the University of Wisconsin-Stout curriculum was craft and he took one or two courses from Stout's shop professors which include Edwin Dyas, Hank Thomas and George Soderberg. He claims that it was possible to be an intellectual in industrial arts at Stout. He recalls that he went to Ohio State in 1980 at the request of Donald Lux, a Stout graduate. Lux served as his advisor in his vocational education course. He claims that Jerome Moss was the brightest, wisest and most collegial faculty member at Minnesota. He notes that Moss wrote one of the earliest pieces on technological literacy.
