Description

Mr. H. Shannon Boyd, head of the Engineering Dep't of St. Ambrose College is another
member of the elite twenty year lay faculty
corps. He comments: "parents have thrust the
bulk of their childrens education into the
teachers' hands, so that Educationists have
become one of the most influential groups
in our society. I'm proud and honored to be a
partner of such a membership."
The present trend of teachers leaving the field for
better paying jobs has at least one notable exception
in the person of John F. McGuire. Although he has
held many different positions in industry, he has always returned to teaching because it offers variety,
freedom of action seldom found in other professions
or businesses.
In point of experience, Mr. McGuire has worked for a
law firm, as an educational consultant, for a large milling company and for a public utility firm as a teacher
of business correspondence courses.

Miss Agnes Renner has seen many changes in her tenure at St.
Ambrose College. Among these have been the establishment of
Marycrest College from its state as the Womens Division of St. Ambrose, the exodus of the high-schoolers to Assumption to make this
campus totally a college, increasing numbers of students, graduating
and becoming teachers in both public and parochial systems, and
the Retirement and Tenure plans worked out by the College for the
Faculty. She has seen closer communication with municipal groups,
work-study programs, lecture series and more active Alumni, Friends
and Associates of the College. St. Ambrose continues to live in dignity.
