History
The
tradition of learning and enlightenment embodied by Dunlap-Stone University
(DSU) reaches back to the beginning of the 20th century when a young school
teacher, Sue Marie Stone, a new graduate of the Northwestern Oklahoma Teachers
College (now NW Oklahoma State University) accepted a position as the sole teacher
in a one-room schoolhouse in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming.
She brought with her a love of learning and shared her passion with the
children of early settlers in their remote and isolated community. While still
a teacher, she married Emmett Merle Dunlap, a civil engineer on assignment in
Wyoming, who designed and built bridges and dams for the U.S. Corps of
Engineers across the western U.S. Their union began a partnership for life,
fostering a passion for learning and knowledge in their children and
grandchildren, one of whom is the founder of the International Import-Export
Institute, Dr. Donald N Burton.
