REMEMBERING LOUISE B. MOORE
Who/what/where: Lou Moore Hale, of Stillwater, created a special bronze sculpture honoring her mother, the late Louise Beard Moore, who was faculty adviser to the University of Oklahoma Daily from 1952 to 1974. A recent dedication ceremony and reception included former students, friends and Moore family members. The sculpture is in the Louise B. Moore Learning Center in OU's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, which holds a variety of classes including ad copy and layout, and photography.
Why: Members of the fundraising committee and OU alumni members Carol Burr, Linda Johnson and Barbara Sessions talked about the impact that the popular adviser had on their lives as students. Gaylord College Dean Dr. Joe Foote also gave remarks. Sessions noted that when Moore was faculty adviser, she was a major advocate for students. “She had a deep influence on our careers as professional journalists,” she added. Hale noted that her mother used red pencils to correct errors in her children's and grandchildren's thank-you notes and sent them back. “She was always upholding the standard of the profession,” she added.
