Notizen zu dieser Person
A Notable Woman – Elizabeth Pfiffner Debot
Elizabeth Pfiffner DeBot, dean of
women at Wisconsin State University
for 25 years, retired in 1965, saying she
would miss her contacts with students.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with
young people. It gives me such a thrill
each commencement, to see the
students who have struggled
financially and scholastically to get
their education, finally succeed.”
Upon her retirement, the
university named one of the residence
hall dining facilities in her honor. In 1967 at the dedication of the
DeBot Center, Professor Bertha Glennon said this about her
colleague who was being honored: “Over the 25 years of her
deanship here, I saw her genuine interest in the students, her
warmth of personality, her constant giving of herself to others who
needed help, her wise solution of student problems and her
integrity.”
A Stevens Point native, DeBot was an alumna of UWSP
who earned a master’s degree in counseling from University of
Madison. She was one of the organizers and first officers of the
UWSP Foundation and for her first three years on campus, director
of Nelson Hall. When that women’s dormitory was converted into
a barracks for air corpsmen who trained on campus during World
War II, she was in charge of USO canteen activities for which
campus women students served as hostesses.
She was married to Anton Pfiffner in 1930. He died in 1931.
In 1965, she married Elmer DeBot, president of Point Sporting
Goods. He died in 1981. She was active in the League of Women
Voters, the Progress Club, Business and Professional Women’s
Club and the Wisconsin State Deans’ Association.
In 1969 she was one of the first recipients of the
Distinguished Alumni Award given by UWSP. She died in 1983 in
Northbrook, Ill., where she had been living with her daughter.
Each year since her death, a scholarship has been given in her
name to a high-achieving nontraditional student
