We have already had several stories from the retention list which featured WSU faculty (Elizabeth Oness, Cal Fremling, Robin DeVinney, Brian Aldrich, etc.) Here are two more titles on the WSU retention list by current and former WSU faculty.
Holmes, Barbara D. Dissertation Development Strategies: A Doctoral Student Resource. Lakewood, CA: Avid Readers Publishing Group, 2010.
Daniel, Ajit K. Voices of Nations: A Comparative Analysis of Three International Radio News Editorial Orientations: Voice of America, All India Radio, and British Broadcasting Corporation. Thesis (Ph.D)--Union Institute of Cincinnati, 1995.
Recap: In 2022, twenty-four Minnesota libraries joined together in a commitment to retain over a half-million print books which are scarcely-held in Minnesota. It is called the Minnesota Shared Print Collection. Here is one of the stories from the Winona State share of the collection.
Nils Minné was the President of Winona State from 1944 to 1967, spanning the entirety of the Baby Boom generation. One of the books on our retention list was a gift to Dr. Minné from its author (who, by the way, did earn a Ph.D. in 1938) soon after Minné began his tenure as president of Winona State. As the title suggests, it presents some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Ph. D.
Dr. Minné retired just about the time that the Beatles released the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. No word yet on whether Dr. Minné was the Eggman or the Walrus.
Atkinson, Carroll. Pro and Con of the Ph. D. Meador Publishing Company, 1945.
