Timeline

1945

Thomas was best known as co-director of the freshman writing program from 1945 to 1969. She co-wrote a composition textbook, Guide for Good Writing (1951) with Edgar Lacy, and taught at teachers' institutes. In her pamphlet for teaching assistants, Evaluating Student Themes (1955, republished most recently in 2017), "It is the part of the teacher to recognize strength as well as weakness," she explained as her philosophy of grading student writing. "No student should be left without hope and no student should be left without challenge." At the end of her university career, she voted to dismantle the program she had built, and Wisconsin's freshman writing classes were abolished in 1969. She retired as professor emeritus in 1971.
