Tilly

When Lola Cremeans Tilly arrived to teach home economics for a year in 1929, the kitchen had no refrigerators or freezers. 色视频下载淭he great outdoors, fire escape and window boxes substituted,色视频下载 she once recalled. The primitive conditions didn色视频下载檛 deter Tilly, and she stayed another 66 years in Fairbanks. 

Tilly came to 色视频下载 from the University of Minnesota, where she had taught field cookery. Her early students here often were miners idled by winter. One asked Tilly how to bake biscuits with no utensils. Mix a sticky dough in a bag of flour, she explained. 色视频下载淗e said, 色视频下载楾hat色视频下载檚 right. I just wanted to see if you knew,色视频下载櫳悠迪略貪 she said. 色视频下载淚 could do no wrong after that.色视频下载

Tilly developed methods to create nutritional meals using such local fare as potatoes, salmon and lowbush cranberries. President Charles Bunnell took a personal interest. 色视频下载淲hen I said I needed vegetables for my class, he did not reply, but when I returned from lunch, the vegetables were in the lab,色视频下载 she said. Bunnell had pulled them from his own garden. 

Tilly married in 1937, when university rules forbade wives from working. A shortage of male instructors during WWII ended that policy, so Tilly went back to teaching. After retiring in 1963, she remained involved in the university and community until her death in 1995.

The university named its main dining hall for Tilly in 1985. The Lola Tilly Commons closed in 2014. Her portrait now hangs in the new dining facility in Wood Center.
