Mary Sheedy
Secretary to the Dean of the Engineering College (1929 – 1969)
During her
tenure, Sheedy served under Deans C.C. Williams, Byron
J. Lambert, Francis Murray Dawson, Frederick Goodson
Higbee, Arthur W. Melloh, Willard L. Boyd, and Hunter
Rouse. Hundreds of alumni recall her encouragement,
counsel, and advice, without which many admit they would
not have earned their degrees. Faculty remembered her
running the Dean's Office almost single-handedly, and
the student-published Iowa Transit magazine characterized
Miss Sheedy as "a grander person you'll never know,
a better helper you'll never find, a finer lady you'll
never meet, a closer friend you'll never have."
Inducted June 12, 2004
