Dr. Louise Dudley now heads the Division of Humanities which comprises of art, literature, drama, music and religion. The primary purpose of teaching in the division is to give the student “opportunity for that self-realization that comes from active participation in any of the fine arts.” The second aim is “the creation of a tolerant attitude toward all forms of art and religions, an open-mindness that defers judgment until after it has been weighed and considered.”

Welcome! My name is Richard Shewmaker and I am creating this website as a dedication to an ancestor of mine who was important in academia, specifically in teaching about The Humanities. Dr. Louise Dudley had a PhD in English and taught for over 40 years at Stephens College in Columbia, MO, which is primarily a girls school. This project will include information about her influence at Stephens College, both as a teacher and an administrator, her intellectual genealogy (the influences on her scholarship), her cultural and familial genealogy, as well as biographical information detailing the kind of life she lived, the kinds of relationships she had.
