This grassy park was originally a strip of grass outside the Sociology Department offices on the south side of Reed Library, across from the cafeteria that is in the College Union Building. At that time it was marked by a large carved wooden “Lyle Howard Park” sign. Dr. Howard (1907-1978) taught foreign languages at Fort Lewis College from 1957 through 1970. (He also was an Instructor of English, 1959-60; half- time Assistant Director of Admissions and half-time Assistant Librarian, 1960-61, Admissions Counselor, 1961-62, and Assistant Professor of English and Spanish, 1962-63.) This new stone marker recalls “A life dedicated to students.” Also see the certificate below, signed in 1970 by President Berndt. |
