Nelson, ’ll Editor '12 Business Manager 1 BLOOMSBURG’S 1939 Honie-coniing The Bloomsburg campus was the scene of another great Home-Coming Day on Saturday, November 4, when a full and varied program attracted hundreds of their contact with their Alma Mater. Alumni back to renew Many of the graduates arrived in town the night before to stay with friends and relatives. The old clock on Carver Hall had not gone far beyond the stroke of nine, when a stream of cars began to come up the hill. Visitors arriving in Bloomsburg found the town decorated for the occasion, and many of the stores displayed welcome signs. The campus was also gaily decorated in maroon and gold, the colors of Bloomsburg and also of Kutztown, which sent its football team to help entertain the visitors at the game in the afternoon. An Alumni desk was set up in the hall opposite the old gymnasium, and this served as headquarters for the Alumni Association during the day. The arrangement followed that which was used for the first time at the Centennial, and served as the center of Alumni activities. The day’s program was officially opened at eleven o’clock, when the Maroon and Gold Band presented a concert in the old gymnasium. The program, which lasted one hour, was heard by a large number, and was well received. The band, in its maroon and gold uniforms, presented a beautiful picture against the background of the elaborate decorations which had been placed there under the supervision of Prof. George J. Keller, of the art department. An informal luncheon was served at noon in the diningroom. There was no program, the entire time being devoted to renewing friendships and the usual conversations that take place when graduates get together. During the interval between the noon luncheon and the game, the new gymnasium and junior high school building were open for inspection by the guests of the College. These fine buildings will be available for use as soon as the necessary equipment is purchased. One fine feature of the gymnasium, which caused many graduates to wish that they were football The alumni QUARTERLY, February 1940 2 still swimming pool. The pool is seventy-five and thirty feet wide. It is lined with white tile, and has lanes marked off with black tile on the bottom. Along the are bleachers, to be used by spectators when swimming in college, is the feet long five side contests will be held. The main gymnasium provided for a basketball court eighty-four by forty-eight feet. Permanent bleachers provide seats for a thousand people. Two auxiliary gymnasiums for class work are in the rear center of the building. There are also classrooms to be used by the Department of Health Education, and offices for the members of the staff. A large crowd was present at the football game, which began at 2:30. Bloomsburg's opponent in this contest was the team from Kutztown. The Bloomsburg team played a fine game and, although unsuccessful in obtaining a victory, held the Kutztown team to a score of 7-0. Color was added to the game by the presence of the Maroon and Gold Band, the Kutztown band, and the high school bands from Jersey Shore and Bloomsburo. The athletic program of the afternoon included a dual meet between the cross-country teams of Bloomsburg and West Chester. The race was timed to end during the intermission between the first and second halves of the football name. Bloomsburg maintained its record of an undefeated season by winning the meet with a score of 2-29. Dan Kemple, of Bloomsburg, was the first to finish, with Lavelle, of Bloomsburg. coming in second. After the game there was an informal tea in the old gymnasium. Members of the faculty and of the student body served as hostesses. Dinner was served at 6: 15 to a crowd that filled the diningroom. A fine meal was served by the dining-room staff. Music was provided by the Maroon and Gold Dance Band, a fine new organization, the first of its kind on the campus since 1931. The invocation was given by William B. Sutliff, former Dean of Instruction. Acting President Harvey A. Andruss presided as toastmaster. Brief remarks were made by R. Bruce Albert, president of the Alumni Association, and by Dr. Francis B. Haas, Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Haas, who still has the interest of Bloomsburg close to his heart, was an interested visitor at most of the activities of the day, and was warmly greeted bv his friends. The old closing event of the gymnasium.

Haas were guests of honor at a dinner held Saturday evening, October 29, at the Penn Harris Hotel, Harrisburg, Pa., by the members of the faculty of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Dean John C. Koch presided, and Dean Harvey Andruss on behalf of the faculty presented to Dr. and Mrs. Haas an excellent motion picture camera and projector. The state superintendent responded. One of the features of the program was the first showing May during the institution’s Centennial observance. George J. Keller and S. I. Shortess were in charge of the pictures.

Rhodes and Dean faculty committee in charge Lucille Baker, May Koch. Dean Andruss, lows in making the presentation, spoke as fol- : Mr. Toastmaster, Doctor and Mrs. Haas, and their Friends: One does not often have an onoortunity such as we have evening to honor their friends. There is an old Chinese proverb that “To part is to die a little. but we feel this evening that we are not met to part, but to bind the ties which exist between two people and the Faculty of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg. There is probably a note of sadness, but there is also a note of gladness in the realization that the bonds of friendship cannot be broken by absence or the passage of time. All of us here in our own way signify the same spirit. this ” "It not what we say or sing That keeps our ties so long unbroken is But the feeling that we bring May touch the heart as friendship’s token: The alumni QUARTERLY, February 1940 4 Not what we sing or what we say Can make us dearer to each other We love the singer and his lay But love as well the silent brother." I like to think of Doctor and Mrs. Haas as lovers of youth parents of three fine children in fact from the professional point of view they serve the children of Pennsylvania. The State Superintendent is indeed servus servorurn puerorum. He is in fact a servant of the servants of the children of this Commonwealth. In serving children they have come to possess this spirit of youth. — — Youth is not a time of life it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and old only despair these are the long, long years that growing the spirit back bow the head and turn to dust. Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and the starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life. are as young as our faith, as old as our hope, as old as our despair. We By and Doctor and Mrs. Haas have evidenced the veritable spirit of youth. In order that they may oicture the happenings of today for the enjoyment of tomorrow, I am pleased to present on behalf of the Faculty an Eastman Motion Picture Camera and Projector, with the hope they may be used to record and depict scenes and events which will express our abiding spirit of friendship and interest in youth which we feel on this occasion and which will continue throughout the years. hopes their faith in the past, confidence in the present, for the future. The State Authority has begun the purchase of equipnew gymnasium, junior high school, and maintenance building. It is expected that the buildings will soon be ment for the ready for use.

The material selected invowels and consonant sounds. The play-back of this recording is cludes all record enables the student to hear his own mistakes in voice and diction. After the first recording, regular work in the speech department continues. Then a second recording is made, using similar material so that improvements or deficiencies may be noted bv the student as well as the instructor. At the close of the speech work, a final recording is made. This time the student selects his own material to give auditory evidences of his improvement in either speaking or reading. By this time the student has filled both sides of his record, which becomes his personal property, thus giving him a permanent recording of his own voice for future use. In addition to this fundamental work for all students entering the college, a speech major is offered for those who wish to select it and be certified to teach soeech in the public schools of Pennsylvania. This work includes both training in the artistic side of speech, such as dramatics and public speaking, as well as the scientific side in speech correction. A third feature of the work of the speech department at Bloomsburg includes the availability of a speech clinic for use of teachers and pupils in the service area of the college. Children may be brought to the speech clinic for the diagnosis of speech and recommended treatment. Additional phases of the speech clinic includes the use of the audiometer which helps to determine acuity of hearing, testing whether this is the cause difficulties of the speech difficulty. This speech clinic is a part of the service of the educational clinic offered by the college. * Women of the Bloomsburg Dr. Marguerite Kehr, Dean of State Teachers College, participated in a panel discussion at a Northeastern the District, conference of PennsylvaniaDelaware Division of the A.

Shortess offers advanced courses in Qualitative Analysis, which will be of special interest to students in the field of Physical Science and Chemistry. Dr. T. P. North continued to offer a course in School Law and Administration, which has been made necessary by the recent legislation relating to teachers and teaching problems in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, passed during the last few years. With the equipping of the new stage in the College Auditorium in Carver Hall, it will be possible to offer a course in Creative Dramatics to those who are interested in this phase of speech work. Advanced courses in speech correction will also be offered under the direction of Miss Alice Johnson, in a new course to be known as Speech Clinic I, Beginning the second semester all the machines used by the Business Education Students will be centralized in Room 42, Science Hall, occupying the quarters last used by the Historical Project operating under the W.P.A. This will bring together in one place adding machines, calculating machines, dictaphones, mimeographs, mimeoscopes, multigraphs, and other machines which, with the growth of the Department of Business Education have had to be located in three or four different places and in as many buildings. All office practice courses will be taught in this room, which will not only make all of the machines available in one place at one time, but will provide a classroom which will accommodate 40 or more students. An auxiliary biological laboratory will be re-equipped in Room 23 of Science Hall, in order to make more space available to a large number of students for experimental work. * There was a large attendance at the dance held Saturday evening. October 7, under the sponsorship of the Business Education Club. The gymnasium was attractively decorated in green, brown, and yellow. The alumni QUARTERLY, February 1940 10 SERVICE AREA CONEERENCE on CAMPIS A service area conference was held at the college Saturday morning, February 10. A speaker from the State Department of Public Instruction discussed Teacher Rating as related to Teacher Improvement. Following the first address several discussion groups were formed to provide an opportunity for the treatment of educational problems of a more specialized nature. The five Professional Fraternities of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg sponsored this conference. They are Kappa Delta Pi (Coeducational Flonorary Fraternity): Phi Sigma Pi (Honorary Men's Fraternity): Pi Omega Pi (Commercial Education Fraternity): Gamma Theta Upsilon (Geograph Fraternity): Alpha Psi Omega (Dramatic Fraternity). This event was attended by Alumni members of various Fraternity Groups who have Graduated during the period of the last ten or fifteen years, as well as superintendents, principals, and teachers from schools located in Columbia, Montour, Northumberland and Luzerne counties. A large number of Bloomsburg Alumni who attended the dinner meeting of the Columbia County Branch of the College Alumni Association remained in Bloomsburg for the morning sessions of the Service Area Conference. Those attendinq the Service Area Conference had an opportunitv to attend the basketball game scheduled for Saturdav evening when Mansfield S. T. C. met Coach George C.

February IQ40 function as a class place in the college SPORTS FOR ALL The sloqan “Sports for All, held as the ideal on most college campuses, is a reality at Bloomsburg. For years it has been an objective that was unanimously endorsed by the administration and the student body. From year to year, slow progress has been made toward the realization of this goal. More and more students, men and women, were participating in some " sport. There was not much diversity at times, and there was a great lack of equipment. In fact, these elements did more to defeat the objective than lack of student interest. Recently a ruling of the State Department requires that a student participate in some athletic activity every semester that he is in college. This is now a requirement for graduation. To put this requirement in effect at Bloomsburg did not require a great amount of effort, because the great majority of students were already engaged in some sport, merely for the pleasure to be gained from it. At the beginning of this year, there was equipment for badminton and archery, two new sports for the girls, and field hockey went back on the program for the first time in five years. Added to this were soccer, volley ball, cage ball, and tennis, all of which attracted great numbers of students. The improvements on the campus provided for ample space for fields, and the students lost no time in taking full advantage of the opportunities. Only those who are physically incapacitated are excused from participation in some sport each semester. Of the women, who number about 325, there are only a dozen or so in this classification, and they would be pleased to join in the fun if they were able. It is probable that, if the compulsory clause were removed, few women would drop athletic activities. Only in remote cases is it necessary to use pressure. Most of the time it is far more difficult to get the students off the athletic fields than it is to persuade them to participate in sports. A similar program has been developed for the men. and it is still being improved. For years they have had numerous opportunities to engage in varsity sports, and that calendar is constantly being enlarged. In addition, there is an intramural program that has for its main feature basketball in the winter, interclass track in the spring, and tennis during the spring and fall. The alumni QUARTERLY. February 1940 12 A visitor to the campus during any fine day in the autumn could have seen a great amount of activity. He would have seen a large group of girls playing badminton on the court between the old gymnasium and Science Hall. Others would be playing field hockey at the end of the football fiield. Still more would be playing soccer on the old athletic field, where two soccer fields have been laid out. There were three volley ball courts that were busy most of the time. In the winter, interest turns to basketball, indoor baseball, cage ball, and volley ball. In the spring, the outdoor sports are resumed, with a great amount of time devoted to tennis. When the new gymnasium is opened for use, the new pool v/ill provide opportunity to engage in one of the most popular sports of today, and these facilities will be available the year round. swimming The whole program has been built up with the purpose of developing healthy young men and women to go out into the schools of Pennsylvania. It also provides training that is essential these days, because these same young men and women will be called upon to develop athletic programs in the schools in which they will become teachers. Dean Andriiss Addresses Commercial Teachers Dean Harvey A. Andruss, Acting President of the State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, addressed the National Commercial Teacher Federation meeting at the William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the Christmas holidays. Dean Andruss discussed “Teaching Bookkeeping from the Auditor s Point of View.” The national organization usually holds its annual meeting in Chicago, and the Pittsburgh meeting was the first held as far east as Pennsylvania. Dean Andruss had a message of importance for teachers who are interested in newer methods of instruction in the field of business education, as he is the author of a book on the teaching of accounting and has written a number of magazine articles and monographs along the same line. The alumni QUARTERLY. February 1940 13 FOOTBALL One could not say that the 1939 football season at Bloomsburg was a successful one. But back of the figures hes a chain of circumstances that explain, at least in part, th.» poor showing as revealed by the record. Running through the newspaper accounts of almost every game appears the word outweighed.” As some of the facts given below will demonstrate, the Maroon and Gold team entered every game with a great handicap ‘ against them. On some occasions, bad decisions by the officials broke the morale of the team, and the game was lost before the boys could pull themselves together. Extracts from press notices on some of the games will give the reader an idea of some of the conditions which the wearers of the Maroon and Gold had to face: “A forty-yard pass on the second play of the fourth period, which Referee Doremus ruled was good because of interference gave Millersburg the ball on the Husky one-yard line at Millersville and led to a 19-7 victory for the Lancaster county club over Bloomsburg Teachers. The Huskies, showing more drive and fight than any Maroon and Gold eleven in recent years, moved to a touchdown in the first three and a half minutes of play. The much heavier Millersville club was unable to do anything on the ground, the speedy Bloomsburg line breaking up such plays before they got started, but they used a short, snap pass from just back of the scrimmage line with telling effect, and during the game completed 13 of 18 passe for a total of 258 yards. * * An Indiana Teachers College football team which made the breaks and then benefited by them, operated with efficiency amid baseball weather on the College field here to defeat Bloomsburg’s Huskies Rushing get in to away from his in their first local appearance, 31-0. block a punt Leo Lehman was attempting to 30 on the fourth play of the game, when the The alumni QUARTERLY.

The Bloomsburg boys led 18-12 with 8 minutes to play and the highly favored Lock Haven team was sorely pressed before finally scoring a touchdown and safety. The game was played Saturday, October 21. * Holding the strong Shippensburg State Teachers College scoreless for three quarters, the Bloomsburg “Huskies” faltered in the final quarter and permitted Shippensburg to score two touchdowns in the game played at Shippensburg, Saturday, October 28. Bloomsburg was out-weighed thirty pounds to a man and made a brilliant fight, playing in extremely bad weather. Thirty-five hundred alumni and friends of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College gathered on the campus to witness the Homecoming football game when Kutztown nosed out the Bloomsburg cohorts in the last period, 7-0.

Andruss, acting president of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, spoke on “Professional Fraternities and Their Place in Education” at the opening of the conclave of the Pi Omeqe Pi Fraternity at the William Penn Hotel. Pittsburgh, held in December, He spoke in part as follows: “In order to discuss the place which professional fraterniin the field of commercial education, it is necessary firt to determine the place of a professional organization in the fraternity world itself. Following the organization of Phi Beta Kappa, there were numerous other societies founded throughout our country bearing a Greek-letter name. Some confined themselves to the colleges of the South, while others were founded largely in the northern and eastern states. During the Civil ties occupy War, collegiate activity was practically suspended. However, following this nationwide conflict, many of these organizations provided fraternity homes, and the social fraternity came to be a necessary adjunct of colleges throughout our nation. “Since the opening of this century, there have been many fraternities organized in the last forty years than in the preceding one-hundred. Younger fraternities suffered from the World War and the period of depression following 1929, the organizations of college youth have continued to grow. more new “Today for our purpose, we may group fraternities under three classes. ' ( 1 ) There is the honorary fraternity, which has as one of its chief purposes, the recognition of high scholarship. "(2) The social fraternity, which has as one of its chief aims the association of college youth in living situations which are conducive to social and per.sonal growth. (3) The professional fraternity, which seeks to combine the scholarship of the honorary fraternity with the social and personal advantages of the social fraternity. ‘ “Of such Omega in this group, we find our own organization, the There are many other professional fraternities which recognize the scholarship and professional promise of students who are interested in education and business. Among them, we find Beta Gamma Sigma, a professional commerce fraternity, which admits to membership only those collegiate schools of commerce who are members of the American Pi Pi Fraternity. Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. This organization, in the field of commercial education needs and has in the Pi Omega Pi Fraternity a society for the recognition of high schol- The alumni quarterly, February 1940 20 arship in both education and commerce coupled with the promise of professional success in teaching. “It is truly remarkable that in a period of less than sixteen years, this organization has grown to the size of thirty-five chapters, twenty-eight of which exist in teachers colleges. ‘The future of professional fraternities in the field of commercial education depends upon their acceptance of the challenge to do something constructive. This comes to each member after he has been initiated and inducted into full fellowship. The wearing of a pin. the attendance of business meetings are in themselves the mere skeleton of an organization. It is evident that we must clothe the skeleton with bone, sinew, muscle, and a will-to-do which will bring greater recognition and respect to the field of their calling. “Commercial education, at the present time and in the future, will progress in the measures that such organizations as professional fraternities are able to band themselves together and do those things would be impossible for individuals to achieve working in other ways. Some chapters of Pi Omega Pi in education, to have meetings of a professional-social nature, sponsor such projects as State commercial contests, loan funds for worthy students, the publication of worthwhile articles through the medium of news letters, and many other activities which renew the interest of their members and let the educational world at large know that enthusiasm among the students who represent the most promising in this ever-growing field of education and business. * COLLEGE ALLOTTED MONEY FOR GRADING The Bloomsburg State Teachers College has been allotted share in the $1,948,183 National Youth Administration program announced recently by State Director Walter S.

His condition early in the week showed some improvement and although he appeared somewhat weaker later, his condi- was not regarded as grave. Judge Herring, a lifelong resident of Orangeville and a tion member of the fourth generation of his family to reside in that village after coming to this county in 1800, was the seventh jurist to serve on the bench of Columbia and Montour counties in the sixty-eight years since this judicial district was created. lifelong Democrat, he had long been active in the party, but his only participation as a candidate was the vear before his successful campaign for the judgeship.

Upon ascending the bench, he gave unstintingly of his time and energy to his duties and almost daily was at his office in the court house here or at Danville.

He was a fine judge, careful, painstaking and thoroughly honest. His decisions were prompt, universally admired, and regarded as sound. I cannot believe it possible that he has died.

He was much admired as a man, lawyer, and a distinguished judge.” Harry Magee, manufacturer and president L. of the Bloomsbury Rotary Club: who had knowing Judge Herring realhas been sustained by this entire section through his death. Judge Herring was one who never shirked his duty, but who quietly and unassumingly carried more than his share in every worthwhile task.

R. John, president of the Bar Association of counties: Columbia and Montour “Judge Herring was a man of modest and retiring nature. In all his life as a practitioner no murmur of criticism reflecting upon his honor, his honesty, or his integrity has ever been heard.

Hardly a day passed that I did not meet him either professionally or socially, and it was always a pleasure to come in contact with him. I knew him to be a man of the highest integrity, of outstanding qualities and traits of character. His fine attainments in his chosen field of endeavor made him an excellent lawyer and an able jurist. His fidelity to the best interests of his town and community and his devoted ser- and organizations in his community and advance the welfare of its citizens, make his passing a distinct loss to all his friends and fellow citizens. Judge Herring will always be remembered by those who knew him as possessing those kindly attributes and cardinal virtues that make for true and lasting friendship.

I feel that a good friend has gone, with whom I can no longer meet to indulge in those talks which brightened one s path along life’s way. "Judge Herring was a man of sterling character, honesty, and probity.

Dr. Swisher was a native of Muncy, but it was to Jerseytown. from where he traveled to Bloomsburg to enter the old academy on West Third Street, that he gave his allegiance. He was a frequent visitor there in his later years. Dr. Swisher’s outstanding ability brought him many honors throughout the world. In Washington, where he was a leading educator for many years, he was recognized as one of that city s outstanding men in the cultural field. His death brings to mind the fact that many who were later to attain prominence received their inspiration at Bloomsburg.

In all his 30 years there, he never appeared before a class without being dressed in a morning coat. But if his “old school” dress and manner were out of date, his knowledge and ability to teach never were. In 1936 the university established a Charles Clinton Swisher annual history prize to be awarded in his honor. He established the school’s history department in 1896 and for 10 years thereafter taught all the courses from ancient to modern history. In later years he specialized in medieval history. In December a portrait of Dr. Swisher, which hangs in the university library, was formally dedicated to him. The picture was a presentation of the Swisher Memorial Society, named for the doctor, on the occasion of his 93rd birthday anniversary. Dr. Swisher was born in Muncy, Pa. Extensively educated, he studied at Yale University, Columbia University Law School. Cornell, the Universities of Paris, Berlin, Heidelberg, Guadalajara, and Prom at Mount 1881 to St. Mary’s College. 1883 he practiced law in New York City, leaving to develop and plant a large tract of land in California in coffee and cocoa. His agricultural pursuits led him into Mexico, where he befriended President Diaz, who commissioned him to study methods of coffee production in Asia and the East Indies and to examine the possibilities of planting Australian eucalvptus in Mexico. He published his findings in a tract called ‘‘The Eucalyptus, Native and Transplanted,” in 1888. His writings on the history of religious orders in Mexico bearing on the conflict between church and state led to his arrest and banishment from the country. The banishment was later rescinded. However, in 1893 an attack of yellow fever threatened his health, and Dr. Swisher returned to the United States to pursue the study of history he had begun under Prof. Leopold Von Rauke at the University of Berlin. After several years’ work at Cornell, he came to teach at George Washington. After his retirement, the doctor traveled through Northern Africa, visiting Fez and other historic places. Always an ardent traveler. Dr. Swisher crossed the Atlantic twenty-six times. member of several Alpine clubs, he is known to have scaled, among other peaks.

Interest in the art of the dance has been considerably heightened in Bloomsburg during recent years, largely through the presentations of the artists’s course series, and this year’s program built up even greater enthusiasm for the art. Hans Wiener, who is known in Europe, Asia and America, was born in Vienna. As his reputation as a dancer grew he appeared in theater, concert and opera in many leading European cities. He accepted an extended tour in the Far East and for two years taught fourteen different nationalities in his school at Shanghai. In America, he opened his school first in New York and then in Boston where, year after year, he has produced and performed in the Pop season of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The alumni QUARTERLY, April 1940 15 Miss Thumey received her diploma from Mary Wigman and gained her experience as concert and theater dancer in Europe before coming to Chicago in 1932. The programs of these two have great variety and strong educational value. JOSEPH WAGNER IN PIANO RECITAL A program of sixteen numbers, including two of his own composition, \vas presented by Josef Wagner, German pianist and composer, at a concert held Friday evening, February 9, in the auditorium of the College before a large audience. The audience included members of the Bloomsburg State Teachers Collene Alumni Association of Columbia County which met for a reunion at the college. The Sonata in A minor by Mozart opened the program and introduced the audience to an artist of breath-taking power and brilliance. Full-toned music in the heavier strains as well as a light, quick touch in the delicate passages were characteristics of his playing and proved him an artist of varied abilities. His interpretation of “Sonata Appassiionata” by Beethoven was vital and sincere. Seldom does Bloomsbura have the opportunity to hear a tyoe of music, presented with such genius, and the second part of the program, which followed a short intermission, continued the high standard of musicianship marking the first part. A well-arranged sequence of six preludes by Chopin was the first number following intermission. “Poissons d or (Goldfish)”, program of this by Claude Debussy and “March” by Serge ProkofiefF came next on the program. Much acclaim greeted his playing of two numbers of his own composition, “Variations on a French Nursery Song” and “Toccata”. The program closed with “Caprice in E Major”, Paganini-Liszt. and “Soiree de Vienne”, by Strauss-Gruenfeld. k ie * * * BLOOM PLAYERS PRESENT "THE WONDER HAT" “The Wonder Hat’ by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman, was presented by the Bloomsburg Players, under the direction of Miss Alice Johnston of the College faculty, at the RotaryKiwanis-College Night, Thursday, March 14.

The sympathy of the entire Association is extended to Miss Aurand in her hour of sorrow. During the Centennial Year we had the largest paid membership in our history.

SPEIGHT (Commencement Address Delivered Tuesday, May You who are now prepared 28) profession of to enter the teaching are ready to take a step which commits you to certain which we attitudes call “professional,” for as teachers you will wonder whether you have given any thought to what it is that makes teaching a profession as distinguished from any of the occupations which we do not regard as professional? This is an important question for you because any man’s happiness and usefulness depend very largely upon be professional people. his attitude towards I his daily work. We speak of a minister or a doctor or a lawyer as a professional man. What is therein the task of the teacher that fustifies us in saying that he too is a pro- fessional person? 1 . I should say, first, that a professional occupation is one which the personal advantage of the individual is very largely subordinated to important human interests which he is called upon to serve. They must be important and not trivial. The importance of the teacher’s work was probably never greater than it is today because the school is one of the accepted major in institutions of our civilization. squanders upon mistakenly We may feel that the other organized the funds now campaigns to reduce gravely at the disposal of education, but historical perspective we cannot much and we may larger resources than are devoted to the schools, particularly deplore the present community interests if we have a close our eyes to the fact that America enjoys today a position of importance in community which is a recent development. However, I am not concerned at the moment so much with the judgment of the School in the the public at large of the importance of the school as the actual responsibility of the school particularly qualified to recognize. I am with which we educators are When we consider that the any rate in this state, enroll all the children and most of the young people even into late adolescence, we can see how fundamental a task is before them, they provide experiences through which these pupils can link themselves up, more schools, at THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, August, 1940 2 and more understandingly each year, with widening areas of community life; they assist these pupils to understand the processes through which democracy is maintained and to appreciate the great human desire for which democracy is maintained. The task of the teacher certainly offers the satisfaction of dealing with important human interests. examine to help his students to judgment, the various features of their experience whom and the may they students to will that be concerned with sound is which have come within other people about involve a description and an life social situation of learn; this will exploration of American his He critically, as life it is led.

If he can render this ser- vice to his students they will have occasion, as adult citizens in be grateful to him not primarily for such specific he has brought them, but rather for the attitude he has helped them to achieve, an attitude not of fear of change but of confidence in the ability of intelligent and democratic people to find sound methods of change. later years, to knowledge as The teacher’s work is important also because he is con- growing persons. In such work he cannot be primarily concerned with advancing his own interests. He is helping young people to develop and this means putting their interests first and constantly improving his own skill for their sake. These young people, children and adolesstantly concerned with the needs of cents, who are in the care of the teacher during so large a part of their growth, are first of all young bodies. In the past we were program of our schools the con- inclined to consider the health cern of special officials only, but today cern for the health of the young we are seeing that con- not something that is tacked on as an “extra” to the instruction work of the teacher but something that is vitally related to everything that is done in the THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, is August, 1940 3 school.

Teaching will never be m a full sense a profession until all of us represent in the community, as teachers, the same ideal of fine workmanship reall the resources his profession has given gardless of circumstances. What are the virtues that we should look for in a teacher? He cannot excite curiosity m others or open up challenging vistas to the minds of the young unless he himself is alert and active in the pursuit of understanding. ;The length and depth of the teacher’s own interest go far to determine his ability to evoke effort and initiative on the part of First, curiosity. Then honesty or integrity. If the teacher is slipshod or content with hasty judgment or ready to adopt the popular slogans of the community regardless of their validity, his pupils will be like him and their minds will be corrupted by his cheap conformity to the crowd. Of course, there are other his students. virtues of a teacher; these I take only as illustrations. The skill which we wish to display in dealing with the young cannot be guaranteed by any number of courses in teaching methods for it depends fundamentally upon our possession of these and other virtues of character. We shall certainly not teaching unless by them we in we adopt be successful in the profession of high standards and judge ourselves our effort to understand the minds of the children deal with. No two of our pupils are exactly alike part of our obligation to discern and and it is to respect their differences, to adopt our methods to the different kinds of temperment we have to deal with, and to discover the abilities they have. This THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, August, 1940 5 means constantly checking ourselves so that we shall not settle down into any fixed expectation and look for the same sort of behavior and the same kind of development in all children we deal with. It is much more easy to have a set pattern of be havior and demand of all the children in a given class that they shall adapt themselves to it, and it is much easier to settle upon things that we require them all to do and to know and then to judge accordingly; but of the school we are recognizing today that the task not to impose a pattern on lives or to convey a is The task of the school is to discover and encourage the capacities of the children and to help them as individuals. We have seen what regimentation can do to corrupt the life of other nations and we are fully determined here in America to hold fast to ideals of education which recognize the value of differences and the right of the individual to fixed body develop his of information. own capacities. Not very long ago children in America were growing up communities where there was very little change from year to year in the way people lived. Then people were pretty well in and ambitions and dispositions by ways of life in their home communities. Today we face a very different situation. Even in the remotest hamlet, as a result of new means of communication which have broken down the isolation of the rural community, a child quickly feels himself part of a larger world and becomes aware of what is happening in that larger world. Even if he never leaves the narrow geographical area which is his home determined their desires in the silent pressure of the accepted he IS made to feel the pressure of a multitude of experiences which belong side. to people who live in that larger Inevitably, this creates a conflict. community He belongs to his out- home community and has a certain recognizable pattern, but he is exposed very early to knowledge which arouses desires which it IS difficult to reconcile with the standards of his community. As a result his personality is in danger of being split and all sorts of tensions may be developed in his character. No matter how isolated the community in dealing with some children situation which is now which you may serve, you who will be are victims of this disturbing inescapable.

We have been taking for granted that the task of our high schools IS to prepare students to go on to higher education in colleges and professional schools and we have fixed a pattern of high school education based upon this expectation. In turn, our elementary schools have taken much of their character from our desire that they should prepare the child for the high school, where he will be prepared for some further education beyond it. We are now recognizing that we need schools in which our concern will be for the best development of all students, including that large number who will not be proceeding to higher education. The new ideal which we are beginning to recognize is that at each step of a child’s development he should be doing that which is most appropriate to the powers and capacities and interests which are natural to him at that stage. If he does well what is suitable at that time he is thereby preparing himself best to do well what will be appropriate later. We must, therefore, cease to think of each grade as primarily preparatory to the next. The experience of each grade in turn has a value of its own, regardless of what is to follow. 3. I need hardly remind you that one of the important, professional attitudes is towards the type of reward that the professional person seeks. I do not wish to minimize the important and legitimate place of those returns for effort which give us what we call our living and provide a margin for leisure THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, August, 1940 and an opportunity for some investment to make provision for the future. The pursuit of a profit does not by any manner of means always imply that the individual is selfish or greedy. He is willing to do something which offers no immediate return, but he is taking risks and investing his time and labor and perhaps some accumulation of wealth from past effort, and in one way or another he legitimately hopes to find a return which will reward him for the venture he is making. But very early in human history there appeared what we may call “service occupations” and gradually these came to be occupations in which people engaged with less concern for even ultimate financial return to themselves than for an opportunity to help other people. I am serving the thinking of such occupations as healing the sick, community need for government and for justice, Uhimately the teaching meeting the religious needs of people. young came to be added to these service occupations. and m some I have not named there has been a steadily rising standard of professional ethics and one of the demands upon the professional person is that when he has been of the In each of these given the skill that he needs he shall make it freely accessible and attach importance primarily to the inner satisfactions of good workmanship. What are the rewards a teacher may legitimately expect? Of course, adequate renumeration so that he is not continually disturbed by anxiety and fear and, I would add, so that he may occupy a place m the community life which gives dignity to the great interest he represents. But the professional teacher is more concerned with the inner rewards of satisfaction, the appreciation which comes to him from those whom he has served and the knowledge he has, which sustains him whenever these other rewards seem to be lacking, that he is participating in the advancement of the highest interests of his community in the service of others Happily, there of the teacher’s is a growing recognition of the importance work and a growing willingness to assure the teacher of an adequate renumeration, although mitted that at the moment to see it must be ad- much uniformed criticism are some people who would is and there enormous sums squandered upon things of the costs of education be quite willing there THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY, August, 1940 8 which have no contribution to make civilization while the vital Those who go into teaching sure that however short-sighted the com- interests of education are starved. may any rate feel munity may be about teachers’ salaries, the profession of teaching will bring them great satisfactions, the satisfactions appropriate to a profession not wealth, but a chance to lead a useful life, be community leaders, and to earn a satisfactory renumeration; not power over others, but an opportunity to help others to develop wisely and well; not wide public acclaim, at — but recognition as a member of a public service profession; and above all the gratitude of nany whose lives are influenced for good through the contacts of the classroom and through personal friendship.

We are m some danger of neglecting those tasks that lie immediately before us because they are less exciting and do not seem to offer us quite so exciting a chance to be helpful. All our social services which make for health and security and the care of the needy, all the educational enterprises, all the stand- many we may ards of living which have developed with such effort over years, are in danger of being swept aside in order that do something else which is emotionally more satisfying at the moment. It seems to me that a very grave duty is laid upon all of us who are educated to help our communities to maintain a sense of balance and to protect and conserve those community efforts which make for conservation of human values.

If that the sphere in in the remotest reason to believe that religion has a valid message with regard to reality as it relates to things moral and then no prudent man can disregard that message. Obviously then, this is an important question, ‘What doth the Lord require of thee?’ What is right? “Today, in large sections of the world, different ideas prevail.

We are confused; we are uncertain about this whole matter of right and wrong. We have changed our minds about a lot of things the but let steps use of intoxicating liquors, gambling, sex relations — —we just know what to believe. The reason we are confused is that we are not interested in what our fathers did and the generation of thirty years ago. I don’t think it makes so much difference to us whether a thing is right or wrong as we used to think and that is the reason why we must come to a definite conclusion about these m.atters. That’s just exactly the way don’t Germany, Russia, and Italy. We should take ourselves to account and ask ourselves ‘What doth the Lord require of thee?’ What is right and what is wrong? It’s quite probable and reasonable to expect that even good men should not always see clearly what is right and what is wrong, but even the people in Christian America have a good deal more uncertainty than there is any cause for. Jesus never had to ask that question. It never bothered Him. Apparently, he always knew exactly what to do and never had to hesitate.

We have consulted and counseled with men every sort everywhere. I wonder if we pressed this question as earnestly as we ought to have done? What does the Lord require of thee? Reverend Skillington told the story of Mark Twain’s travAfter visiting many els in Europe with his small daughter. kings and rulers, the last of whom was the Kaiser, the child remarked to her father, “Presently, there won’t be anybody else for you to know but God.’’ Reverend Skillington said that we wouldn’t get to know God by listening to sermons or memorizing the Bible. Jesus didn’t get to know God by this means but by living and working in the closest relationship with God. “My reactions are not determined by what I read last night and this morining. My significant reactions to life are determined by what I am and what I am determined by the sum total of everything I hear and think and feel.” Reverend Skillington explained the importance of religion by doing right we would He in life. said that get a deep insight and understanding of religion. In illustrating the point of the story of Jesus helping the sick man by doing as God would have done, the speaker told of a friend of his in Bedford County, a farmer lad a hard piece of work with who tackled a complicated piece of machinery with the confidence that because his father had done it, he could accomplish the task also.

Andruss, acting president of the college, as one who was “catapaulted into a big job” when Dr. Francis B. Haas resigned to become Superintendent of Public Instruction, and who has handled the job “in a big way.” Dean Andruss stated that the fine attendance, in spite of discouraging weather, was a tribute “to the spirit that is Bloomsburg.” He said that the success of the year was in a large measure due to the fact that Dr. Haas had left a well-organized college and a student body capable of assuming increasing responsibility. In presenting R. Bruce Albert, president of the Alumni As- Loan Fund worthy students had been possible largely through Mr. Albert’s efforts and inspiration, and asserted that the Alberts, father and son, have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of the college.

She has writien many magazine articles, and at present is reviewing motion pictures and making recommendations as to their value to a great number of clubs. Her reminiscences of days spent at the college, then the Normal School, were delightful. She recalled that while she was a pupil m the model school, a part of the college was destroyed by re.

Vocal solos by Miss Joyce Lohr, accompanied by Spencer Roberts at the piano, were thoroughly enjoyed. These two delightful young artists give much promise. Movies entitled “Life at the College” pleased the group and brought forth many favorable comments. Miss Moore led in the group singing. Our chief regret was the absence of Dr. Waller, as we $100.00 to the Student Loan Fund as a testimonial of our affectionate regard for the Grand Old Man of Bloomsburg.

Andruss, Acting such a fine job this President, who has done year, said: “Any institution is but the length and shadow of a man. Certainly our institution at Bloomsburg is measured by the length and shadow of our leaders. Two of our Presidents have been Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Waller and Dr. Haas, the latter now serving his second appointment.” At least four people who have been connected with Bloomsburg have been Presidents of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. These are Dr. Waller, Dr. Haas, the late William B. Evans, and our toastmaster, Thomas Francis. Dean Sutliff, who has given the best years of his life to from the campus. Dean and Mrs. Sutliff extend an invitation to you to drop in and tarry a while with them when you are in Bloomsburg. In the course of his remarks, the Dean said that he brought word from Dr. Waller that he regretted that his health would not permit him to come down. our College, still lives across the street “I deem it a great privilege to have started my work at Bloomsburg under Dr. Waller, and to have ended my active work there in the College under Dr. Haas. It w'as a great experience for me to work under these two men.” Kimber Kuster: make any bargain with Superintendent Francis, so I don’t know whether I am to stand for applause and sit down, or whether I have two minutes.

Our Toastmaster made one mistake. He said that Dr. Haas was sent to Bloomsburg to finish his training. No; his training was good enough; he was sent to Bloomsburg so that he would become inoculated with the Bloomsburg spirit.” Nevin Elwell Funk, Vice-President of the Philadelphia Electric Company: “I am in a different business.

I extend congratulations to Mrs. Cool and her fellow officers for this splendid evening.” Mr. George Baker, ’03, Superintendent of the Schools of Moorestown, New Jersey, “I am very happy to be with you.

With his two classmates. Dr. Joseph Echternach and Bindley H. Dennis, he constitutes the “Three Musteeters,’’ and their reunions are the always true to the Bloomsburg tradition. We were pleased to note the presence of Dr. Fred Suthff, a brother of Dean Suthff. Another distinguished guest was Dr. Everett P. Barnard, an eminent gynecologist of Philadelphia.
