Stuart Sechriest, 1963

In this obviously set-up photograph (you can’t take a flash picture in a darkroom) from the J-School files, dated 1963, photojournalism professor Stuart Sechriest, in tie and white lab coat, checks a print in the final wash as two students pose at classic Omega D-II enlargers. An anonymous photographer captured this scene in the photo darkrooms of the old J-School at Howell Hall. Sechriest, who retired in 1977 after teach- ing for 32 years, died last week at 97.

rofessor Sechriest was actually grinning when he jerked me out of News Editing class and hauled me into his office, shut the door and demanded, “Lauterer, why are you so damned DUMB?!” My curmudgeonly prof wore a perpetual Cheshire cat grin, even when he was dead serious, which completely confused and confounded his students and, I can imagine, his colleagues as well. So even as he read me the riot act, Sechriest had Pthat little playful grin going. Why WAS I so damned dumb? Truth be told, I didn’t give a fig about his News Editing class. I did care about photography – and earlier Sechriest had denied me entry into his photojournalism class, brushing me off with, “Oh, you don’t need that class,” presumably because he regarded me, the DTH chief photographer and photo editor, as a know-it-all smart aleck. Imagine Seeds of hearts-a-bustin’ literally burst from the heart of strawberry-shaped capsules. that. Somehow I limped through the required News Editing class and secured “a gentleman’s C.” Photo by Larry Mellichamp Nevertheless, I regard Sechriest as the best photo professor I never had.
