BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Clara Louise Hanser was born January 22, 1911 to Otto C. Hanser and Clara L. Faudi. In 1932, she received her B.S. in Education from the University of Missouri. She attended Washington University in St. Louis, where she received a Master's degree in Education in 1933. At this time, she began working as a caseworker for the Children's Aid Society in St. Louis County. She married William Bryan Myers on September 30, 1936 and together they had a son, William Bryan Myers II, born in 1944. Her husband died in 1946.

From 1938 to 1943, Clara Louise Myers was a supervisor and administrator for Child Welfare Services in St. Louis County. After taking time off to have her son, she returned to work at Child Welfare Services in 1946, this time working for the city of St. Louis and remaining there until 1950. Myers also worked as a field instructor for Washington University and St. Louis University from 1937 to 1950. Throughout this period she continued her education and received a second Master's in Social Work from Washington University in 1948.

After the death of her son in 1950, Myers moved to Columbia and began teaching at the University of Missouri's School of Social Work as an assistant professor and Director of Field Instruction. She eventually became a full professor and served as Associate Director of the department from 1970 to 1974. In 1966, Myers completed her Doctor of Social Work at Washington University. In 1972, Myers took a year-long sabbatical in Africa and South America. During this time, she visited and lectured at a variety of social work schools and agencies.

Myers was actively involved in a variety of local, state, and national social work organizations and programs, including the Missouri Association for Social Welfare, the National Association of Social Workers, and the White House Conference on Children and Youth. She was also highly active within the University of Missouri community, participating on a variety of committees, as well as the Graduate Faculty Senate and the Graduate Council. Other community organizations in which she participated included the Altrusa Club and An Ecumenical Ministry in Higher Education.

Myers retired from the University of Missouri in 1981, at which time she donated $10,000 to the School of Social Work to establish the William Bryan Myers II Memorial Scholarship in memory of her son. In 1990, the School of Social Work created the Clara Louise Myers Lectureship Series in her honor. She died on November 24, 1991.
