BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE CURRICULUMS TO BE OFFERED BY
BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE, BEGINNING SEPTEMBER, 1963
State Council of Education Approoes Program in the Humanities,
the Natural Sciences, and the Social Sciences
Bloomsburg State College . has
been approved by the State Council of Education, Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, to offer programs
of studies leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degree in t1he Humanities,
the Social Sciences,and the Natural Sciences.
Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President of the College, received word
from Dr. Harold F. Alderfer, Secretary of the State Council of Education, that the approval of
Bloomsburg's application to grant
the Bachelor of Ar:ts degree was
granted at the regular meeting of
the State Council on May 23, 1962.
The approval also aul'horized
Bloomsburg to begin the new programs in the Fall of 1962.
Courses, leading to the Bachelor
of Arts degree in the fields approved by the State Council, will probably be offered at Bloomsburg at
the ;beginning of the semester in
September, 1963. In the meantime, t,he College will complete all
arrangements necessary to implement the new program. The interim will also provide ample opportunity for high school students
to make a thorough study of the
programs to be offered by Bloomsburg and to complete their applications for admission. 'Phe date for

accepting students for admission
to the arts and sciences or liberal
arts programs will be announced
as soon as plans are matured.
Bloomsburg - first an Academy,
then Literary Institute, State Normal School, :State Teachers College, now becomes a State College
in fact. Since 1927, Bloomsburg
(then a State Teachers College)
has been authorized to grant the
Bachelor of Science degree in Education. In June, 1960, the State
Council aul'horized the College to
grant the Master of Education degree in Elementary Education and
in Business Education. Several
months ago, permission was also
received by Bloomsburg to grant
the Masters degree in Special Education for the Mentally Retarded
and in Speech Correction; applications are now on file with the State
Council, seeking approval to grant
the Master's degree in both English and the Social Studies.
'Present faculty, numbering 119,
includes ·53 who hold degrees in
the Arts and Sciences and 35 who
have /had a total of 170 years of
teaching e~perience in liberal arts
institutions.
Consideration is being given to
the adoption of a basic curriculum
for all students for the freshman

and sophomore years to inclµde
English, Speech, Art, Music, one
of three foreign languages, one of
three or more laboratory sciences,
one df l'hree or more social sciences and one elective course in the
third and fourth seIMsters.
This means, in effect, that all
students will pursue a general curriculum in Liberal Arts or Arts
and Sciences for two years and
then will:
(1) graduate with a certificate
or associate in science degree thus terminating their
formal college education at
Bloomsburg, or
(2) elect to transfer to another
State College for their last
two years in fields not offered at Bloomsburg, or
(3) transfer to colleges or universities other than State
Colleges, or
(4) continue at Bloomsburg in
a curriculum leading to the
Bachelor of Arts in (a) the
Humanities, (ib) Natural Sciences or (c) Social Sciences,
or
(5) continue for the last two
years in cine of the teacher
education curriculums at
Bloomsburg leading to the

President Andruss Presents Two-Phase Plan of
Development To Accommodate 5,000
Students At The College By 1970
Second Phase Calls For Purchase of Bloomsburg Country Club and
Land Adjacent To Present Campus of 60 Acres
A two-phase plan of development, describing the expansion and
growth of the Bloomsburg State
College from its present enrollment of 2,000 to an enrollment of
5,000 by 1970, was outlined recently by Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,
President of the College, for consideration oif the Trustees of the
College and Directors of the Alumni Association.
To accomodate the projected
enrollment of 5,000 students, three
types of land purchases will be
necessary, including the following:
sixty acres, consisting of the
Bloomsburg Country Club and the
surrounding area; all residential
properties contiguous to ,the present campus; properties, acrqss
streets now ,adtacent to the campus, to be used for pedpheral
parking. The latter properties will
be purchased as they become
avail~le.

3,000 ON PRESENT CAMPUS
The first phase includes details
related to the increase in enrollment from 2,000 to 3,000 on the
present campus site of 60 acres
during the years 1962-1967. When
enrollment reaches the maximum,
it is anticipated that 1,800 students
will be housed in dormitories on
the campus, and 1,200 will drive
from their homes each day or will
find accomodations in the Town
df Bloom~burg during certain years
of this period of development. The
number of faculty memhers will be
increased from 125 in September,
1962, to at least l '715.
Approximately 50 of this numher should
hold ithe Doctor's degree in fields
related to their areas of service.

$5 MILLION CONSTRUCTION
Dr. Andruss noted that new construotion, which is already approved, in process, or on the drawing
boards, will cost more than $5,000,-

000. This includes a su:bstation to
provide more electric power, an
extension of the heating plant,
and the construction of all utility
lines necessary for all 'future buildings on the present campus, at a
cost of $900,000.
Two dorm'itories to accomodate
five hundred women students
costing approximately $2,000,000,
are to be Ibid on this year with
occupancy expected in September,
1964. Architeots have been appointed to prepare plans for a
domitory to accomodate 200 to
300 men at a cost of more than
$1,000,000, and an auditorium to
seat 2,000 (with a little theaitre to
seat 200) at a total cost of $1,'750,000. To keep pace with the increase in enrollment and the ertension oif curriculum offerings, more
than $50,000 has been appropriated <to plan a library, seating 500
readers and providing shelving for
200,000 volumes.

APPROVED BY TRUSTEES
A recent campus plan, developed by Dr. Andruss and approved
by the Board of Trustees, includes
four buildings to contain 18 to 20
classrooms each, one dormitory
for 400 women, two dormitories
for 500 men, a field house with a
maximum seating capacity of 3,000, a dining hall, a community
activities center, a residence for
the President of the College, and
an athletic field.

ADDED DEGREES
Curriculums in AIits and Science
and Business Administration will
be developed to warrant the conferring of the Bachelor of Arts
and the Bachelor of Science degrees in addition to the present
Bachelor df Science degree in Education and to extend graduate offerings leading to the Master of
Education degree in all under-

graduate teaching fields now
fered.

of-

SECOND CAMPUS
The second phase of development will require a second campus of not less than 60 acres <to accomodate 2,000 students, 1,200 of
whom will be housed in dormitories on campus. This plan, according to Dr. Andruss, must consider the function of BloomSlburg
Sta:te College in relation . to the
proposed
community
college
movement, a junior college, or the
lower division of a senior college.
One proposal would have students located, dwring the first two
years, in a lower or junior college
division on the second campus
with a uniform curriculum in general education or arts and sciences,
providing for the selection of one
of three foreign languages, one of
three social sciences, one of three
natural sciences, and at least two
elective courses in the second
year. Thus, at the end of the
sophomore or second year, students will divide themselves into
one of the following classes: those
terminating th~ir formal education
at Bloomsburg and receiving the
Associate degree; those transferring to other State Colleges; those
transferring to colleges and universities other than State Colleges;
those continuing in the third and
fourth years in the Arts and Sciences curriculums on the present
campus; those
continuing
at
Bloomsburg in the teacher education curriculum.
The second campus, for 2,000
students, would require the construction df four dormitories to
house 300 student'S each for a total
of 600 men and women.
This
means that 800 students would
drive eac'h day from their homes
to . the campus or would live in

the Town of Bloomsburg.
$10 MILLION IN BUILDINGS
An expenditure of approximately
$5,000,000 would be necessary to
provide buildings for the first 1,000
students to be educated on the second campus. These buildings include a heating plant and utilities,
a classroom with a lihrary wing,
a field house, a women's dormitory, and a men's dormitory with
dining facilities.
When the two campuses reach
full capacity, the lilbrary wing on
the original classroom .building at
the second campus could ibe used
for classrooms. A library building
would then need to be constructed
and the third and fourth dormitories would necessitate additional
dining facilities. An approximation
of the total cost for buildings on
the second -campus, when enrollmem: reaches 2,000, is estimated at
not less than $10,000,000.
The rate at which funds would
become available for construction
will depend on action taken by the
State Council of Education, the
Governor of the Commonwealth,
the General Assembly, and the
General ;S\tate Authority.

HOMECOMING DAY:
OCTOBER 20, 1962

NEW DEPARTMENT HEADS

Five new department heads
were named recently by President
Harvey A. Andruss. The increase
in the number of s·tudents and faculty at the college necessitated a
division of the former Mathematics
and Science Department into two
separate units. The Department of
Geography was separated from the
Department of Social Studies, and
the Department of Speech has
been separated from the Department of Communications.
The
new department heads are Mr.
Rdbert Jordan~Science; Mr. James
R. C. Leitzel-Mathematics; Dr.
Bruce Adams-Geography; Dr.
Melville Hopkins-Speech;
iDr.
Robert Miller-Education and Psychology. Other department heads
who will continue their duties during the coming year are Dr. Cecil
Sernnsy-En:glish; Dr. John SerffSocial Studies; Mr. Wa1ter BlairHealth and Physical Educ,i:tion;
Mr. Nelson !Miller--:Music; Mr. Robert Ulmer-Art; Mr. Howard Feinstemaker-Foreign Languages.
Dr. Kimlber Kuster, head of the
Science and Math Department
since its inception three years ago,
retired from the faculty at ,the end
of the Spring semes\ter, 1962.
The first Master of Education
degrees to be conferred by
Bloomsiburg State College will be
awarded to a limited number of
graduates in January, 1963.

INCREASE
119 TO 125

FROM

Approximately 600 keshmen,
transfer students, and former studem:s whose college education had
been interrupted for various reasons, have been accepted for admission in September, 1962. With
more than 1,400 sophomores, juniors and seniors returning, , the
total student ,population will lbe
between 2,000 and 2,100 - the
largesit number of students ever
enrolled at the College.
Following a policy set nearly a
decade ago, the increase in student enrollment has shown a
steady expansion rather than a
dramatic increase in any one year.
This has provided for a better assimilation of the increased number of students and a betlter use of
college buildings.
A major item of importance in
accomodating this number of students has been a proportionate increase in the number of faculty
members.
During the past 10 years, the
number of students and faculty
have nearly tripled. In that period
of time, the number of students
has increased by 100 to 225 each
year.
In September, 1953, 694 students enrolled at the beginning of
tlv~ Fall semester.
In the years
th'lt followed, the number increased to 767 in 1954, 935 in 1955, 10153
in 1956, 1187 in 1957, 1378 in 1958,
1582 in 19~9, 1737 in 1960, and
1935 in 1961.
Approxfinately 650 men and WO·
men are housed in dormitories on
campus, 775 drive to the campus
from their homes outside the Town
of Bloomsburg each day, and 625
will 'be housed in the Town of
Bloomsburg or in student teaching
centers in Danville, Berwick, Williamm')rt, Muncy, Allentown, Bristol, Neshaminy, and Selinsgrove.

1962 SUMMER ENROLLMENT
SETS RECORD
./I. ,total of 765 undergraduate
and graduate students registered
for the Main Summer Session on
Monday, July 2, to set an all-time
high for summer session enrollments. This number is greater
than the enrollment of full-time
students during the Fall and Winter sessions a decade ago.
The 1962 Summer Session got
underway on Monday, June 11,
with the beginning of the threeweek Pre-Sessions. 618 undergraduate and 56 graduate students registered for classes during that period. According to John A. Hoch,
Dean of Instruction, approximately
450 undergraduate and 40 graduate
s·tudents are expected to register
for the three-week Post Session beginnling Monday, August 13.
Dr. Thomas B. Martin, Director
of Graduate Studies, announced
that 115 different graduate students will have attended classes
during the 12 weeks of summer
school at Bloomsburg. This is an
increase of about 30 more than
last summer, and indicates a healthy growth in the graduate division.
During the Summer, a number
of outstanding artists and lecturers
visited the campus to present lecture and concert programs for faculty and students.

Boyd F. Buckingham, Director of Public Relations, reports
that he receives between 300 to
400 changes of addresses for
Bloomsburg graduates each

AChallenge To Loyal Alumni!
The second verse of our Alma
Mater reminds us that
"Far and wide though we may
wander
Still our Hearts are true
To our hilltop Alma Mater
We our pledge renew."
"Bloomsburg is certainly growing!" This statement was made
frequently this Summer by many
df the 115 different students who
were starting or continuing their
program of graduate studies at
Bloomsburg.
Specifically, Alumni have mentioned new buildings, the relocation and expansion of the Ubrary,
the increase in the number of students and faculty, the proposed
campus plan to accommodate 3,000
students by 1967, and the development of a community or junior
college on the site of the present
Bloomsburg Country Club.
Alumni also point with pride to
the fact that Bloomsburg now offers the Master's degree in Elementary Education, Business E ducation, and Special Education :for
the Mentally Retarded and Speech
Correction, and has applied for approval to offer a graduate program
in Secondary Education in Social
Studies and English. Approval to
offer ·the Bachelor of Arts degree
in the Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences has
been a conversation piece for both
graduate and undergraduate students.
These indications of growth and
progress at Bloomsburg have resulted from the efforts of many
individuals and groups - students,
faculty , the administration, the
Board of Trustees, the General
Assembly, the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the General State
Authority.
Witth this broad base df support
and participation, Alumni may ask,
"What help does the College need
from me?"
Your Alumni Association has
suggested and supported several
projects in recent years to help
your alma mater do -the best possible job of educating students.
In some instances, the response of
1

Alumni has been more than gratifying. In other areas much remains to be done. Herein lies a
challenge to every graduate to express hls loyalty and appreciation
bv joining the Alumni Associartjon
in its support df !llhe College.
Several years ago, a limited number of graduates contributed nearly $2,000 to provide a portrait and
a scholarship fund in honor of the
late Dean Emeritu-s William Boyd
Sutliff. In December, 1960, the
Columbia County Alumni Branch
launched a campaign to raise $2,500 for a Library Fund honoring
Howard Fens,temaker.
A member of the College faculty
for 35 years, Mr. Fenstemaker has
served as Editor of the Quarterly
for more than two decades, and
was elected President of the Alumni Association in May, i962. His
record of service to his Alma Mater is worthy of emulation and
recognition by every graduate.
More recently, the Alumni Association has sought the help of
graduates in establishing a memorial scholarship fund of $10,000 in
memory and recognition of the late
Dr. E. H. Nelson, former faculty
member and President of the Association.
Both the Fenstemaker and Nelson Funds were designed to meet
vital needs df the students and the
·College. Contributions are still
being received for both projects.
It has been said, "If 7,500 graduates of B.S.C. become members
of the Alumni Association, you
will have the strongest alumni
group in the state." And if
7;500 graduates of B.S.C. contriibuted one dollar each year to
support alumni projects, the pro.gram of the College would be emphatically strengthened in a material manner.
Some of our graduates have participated in the Matching Gifts
Program sponsored by corporations
suoh as .the General Electric Company .and the Ford Motor Company.
Since the adoption of its matching gifts program in 1960, Ford
Motor Company has contributed
$846,166 to higher education. Un(8)

degree of Bachelor of
Science in ,Education.
Some researdh was begun more
than a decade ago to determine
the steps in the development of
Bloomsburg as an expanding institution of higher education. More
recently, committees df faculty,
the administration, and the faculty
at large have been developing curriculum patterns to preserve the
quality of teacher education and
to offer sound education in t!he
Arts and Sciences for those who
may not be interested in or fitted
for the teaching profession.
Bloomsburg State College is
fully accredited by regional and
national agencies including tthe
National Council for Accreditation
of Teacher Education, the Middle
States Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, and the Pennsylvania State Council of Education. The College also 'holds membership in professional associations
including the American Council on
Education, the National Association for Business Teacher Education, and -tihe National Office Management Association.
This "Letter to Graduates" is the
fourth in a series to be published in
order that (1) all graduates may hear
from ·their alma mater fr.om time to
time, (2) the college may report progress and request support, in conjunction with the Alumni Association, for projects which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will not finance at the time the need must be
met.
