Dr. Andruss in his comments read two of the Dean’s poems concerning the lower on Carver Hall institution, the and the olden wooden bridge which collected Carver and Noetling Halls. These and other poems were printed some years ago by the alumni. The dean observed that they had been retained for publication by his secretary of many years, Mrs. G. Edward Horne, Shamokin. Mrs. Horne, the former Gertrude Andrews, and her husband, were among those present. The Dean in his response said there were three things occurring in 1867. One was the purchase Alaska then referred to as “Seward’s Folly”; the erection of of Institution Hall, the now Carver building on first Hall, the College campus, and his birth. “Without the latter,” he commented, “there would have been on me.” He was tion given a standing ova- by the group and members joined day.” The in singing following “Happy Birth- comments on the affair appeared in the Bloomsburg “Morning Press”: knows time flies by and drags when there is nothing much to do.

Howard Fenstemaker put it well when he asserted the Dean is truly “Mr. Bloomsburg.” It would be impossible to measure the contribution he has made to the progress of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The reward has been the results obtained as a result of the helping hand he extended in the lives of thousands. The Dean asks nothing more.

This institution, which has over 1,000 students and demands for admission which makes it appear likely to be enlarged in the near future, has an annual budget of a million dollars. In addition to operation costs there is over a half million dollars a year being put into capital im- provement and this is expected to least three more dre state would decide to enlarge the facilities, as is anticipated, then it will continue at a more substantial pace. continue years. for And at if There are now 1,080 registered college students and 200 children in the Benjamin Franklin School.

At the present there are 200 college students who have rooms and get their meals off the campus and it is likely at least a hundred more will have to obtain such faculties in the community for the college year opening next September.

Mr. Landis was a Republican in politics and he was in demand as a speaker for many years. He always put the welfare of the community, state and nation before partisan politics. In 1933 he was appointed a deputy Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and served as counsellor to the area closed banks with his usual industry, fairness and integrity until 1935. Mr. Landis was accustomed to work. He worked to pay for his formal education and in the years 1912 and 1913 when a student in Columbia University, he was a salesman for a real estate firm in New York City, and in the year 1914 he was the Secretary of the Long Island Real Estate Exchange.

He met adversity with such hope, endurance, bravery and courage that those who knew him during his affliction ten, his bow dom, intelligence and honor.

William B. Landis was an avid reader of good books. His leisure time was spent with his books and with his family. He was a devoted husband and father, and this devotion was returned by his family to him in the days of his affliction, when his wife was almost constantly at his bedside and lightened many hours with encouragement which otherwise might have been darkened by the gloom of despair.

Andruss, President State Teachers College. Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania STATE AND LOCAL SUPPORT For the first time in thirty years, state teachers colleges face a change in the method and collecting fees from students. Budgets have always been balanced by local fees collected from students which have been levied by the boards of trustees of the several state teachers colleges. State appropriations have usually provided about half of the total expenditures. This varies from college to college and depends in a large measure on the dormitory and dining of fixing room income. During the depression in the 1930's, a contingent fee was levied and has grown from $72 a year to $90 a year and has been increased to $100 for the college year of 1957-58. This fee is to cover library, student welfare, health, registration and records, and laboratory services. So far as is known, at the present time, the amounts collected have more than paid for these services and the “contingency” for which they were created has long since past. There are few, if any, teachers colleges in the United States collecting more than $100 in fees for services other than housing. As the enrollments of state teachers colleges have increased from 10,000 to 15,000 the The present Governor’s state appropriations have not been increased proportionately. Budget shows an overall increase of 136% over that of the 1953-55 biennium while local fees from students have increased 148',. and state support only 128%. From these figures it will be seen that funds available for a state teachers college are composed of two kinds of income: appropriations by the state and the amount collected by the college from students. In the 1951-1956 period, the last three bienniums, the average state support has been $560 per student per year. Present budget figures divided by the increased enrollment will reduce the per student support to less than $500 per year unless more revenue sources are found. These reduced support figures come at a time when prices for all services (faculty wages and salaries based on a lorty hour week, utilities) and almost every item purchased is at the highest point known in history. All indications are salaries, non-instructional that costs will continue to increase. Every fee, with the exception of the $5 diploma fee, of state teachers colleges in Pennsylvania has been increased in the past two years; housing fees by 25%, contingent fee by 11%, and advanced registration deposits from $10 to $25. FACULTY SALARIES It has been generally conceded that salaries paid for teaching services have not kept pace either with the cost of living or with comparable salaries paid in other professions requiring the same amount of preparation. This is as true of faculty salaries in state teachers colleges as with other teaching salaries. To remedy this situation by an upward revision of the salary schedule we have two known as Act 600 and Act 485, passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature and signed by the Governor. The latter included an amount of $100,000 to take care of the cost of laws, the increased salaries, over and above, the amounts included in the budgets. Although the year for which this appropriation was made is about ended, no part of this $100,000 has been made available to state teachers colleges. Earlier in the month, the Senate passed a bill increasing each of the salary classifications for state teachers college faculty by $500 and provides larger mandatory increments and more of them. estimated that this Senate Bill 330 will cost $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 over and above present proposed appropriations. While a companion bill provided $750,000 and later $825,000 to cover these costs, there has more recently been passed Senate Bill 694 which will increase contingent or tuition fees paid by students by 66 2/3%. Students are now paying at least $90 a year which will be increased to $150 beginning September, 1957. It is SENATE BILL 694 Provides that even though residents of Pennsylvania, who meet certain admission requirements which includes a promise to teach for at least two years in Pennsylvania, shall have their tuition paid by the state that if Boards of Trustees levy any other fees they must be at least $75 per student per semester. This means that all students must pay $150 next year as compared with $90 this year. In effect, it sets a minimum fee which the boards of trustees can levy. This is done at a time when the state is paying a reduced per capita amount per student in a time of using prices. If the fee can be set at $150 minimum this session of the legislature, it can be raised by following legislatures until larger and larger proportions of the instructional costs will have to be borne by students intending to be teachers. All this happens at a time when there are not enough teachers and the demand is known to be increasing since children already born will have to be housed in school buildings and met as classes even though it is difficult or even impossible to educate them in larger classes or half-day sessions. If Pennsylvania wants more teachers for its schools, it is axiomatic that it will have to spend more money. This burden cannot suddenly be transferred to those who are now enrolled, or who are about to enroll, in state teachers colleges.

J. A. E. Rodriguez, a member of the class of 1907, civic leader and retired industrialist of Puerto Rico, was given the Alumni Award of Merit. He was presented by a classmate, William V. Moyer. The award was to “a brilliant leader in business and civic affairs and a man of good will.” Dean Emeritus William B. liff, ninety, a member of the Sut- class of 1891, spoke briefly at the close of the session and was given an ovation.

At the opening of the session the class of 1957 attended in a body, was elected to membership and received a chek from William Pohtusky for dues for the entire class. Bishop Wilner gave the invocation. Howard F. Fenstemaker, editor of the Alumni Quarterly for thirty- one years, spoke of the graduate publication. Dr. Andruss told the graduates that the Teachers Colleges are at a time of decision and he asked the Alumni to assert its voice. has It reached a point where the alumni may not have much of a part in the affairs of the institutions unless the present trend is changed. He spoke of the moving of the library from the second floor of Waller Hall to the quarters formerly occupied as a dining hall. There will be space for 50,000 volumes. He hopes in a few years to have a' new library building. He referred to a sketch in the lobby of Carver Hall which outlined the prospectus for the en- largement of the institution. Under the plan a men’s dormitory would be erected at the site of the present college barn and another where North Hall stands. There would be a class room building near the new gymnasium. There would be an auditorium along Light Street Road and at the north end of the road going by Navy Hall. Science Hall would be re- moved to make way for three men’s dormitories. classroom buildings wo- Additional would be in the Leg- erected. One of the bills islature now would make the board of an advisory group with power concentrated in the president and Superintendent of Public trustees Instruction. Another bill, which is now by the Senate, would fix the fees at Teachers Colleges at not less than $75.00 per semester. The revenue will go toward the payment of increases to the faculty. Dr. Andruss said the increase in is needed but he advised considerable attention be given the bill by the House for it could lead salaries 1 and take the to substantial tuition Teachers College, now in part of tthe public school system, out of that class and into the class of pri- vate institutions. He felt it would be better if the amount to be paid were Higher fixed. tuition would limit the enrollment to families of middle or higher class income and reduce the number of students from homes of low income. If this legislation became law the alumni was told “the rights enjoyed when you were students will not be available.” He spoke of the circumstance that would arrive with substantial tuition in teacher institutions, especially in light of the fact that states surrounding Pennsylvania pay higher teacher salaries than this Commonwealth. Reports of classes followed and then the alumni luncheon was held in the new College Commons. Those who were in the Carver Hall auditorium couldn’t tell which was the happiest when the Alumni Meritorious Service Award was presented, the recipient, J. A. E. Rodriguez, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, or the one making the presentation, William V. Moyer, local businessman. The two have been friends since they met at “Old Normal” where both are members of the class of 1907. They have kept in touch time although the last occasion they were together here, prior to the recent reunion, was upon the occasion of the reunion held a number of years ago. since that Bill did a mighty good job in presenting his friend for the cita- which was made tion to a “dis- tinguished alumnus, brilliant leader in business and civic affairs and a man of good will.” Rodriguez made a delightful response in which he declared “This institution laid the cornerstone of my life.

Bloomsburg, this fall, will have to house 300 men in the town, and has space for only 80 men on the campus. If all scheduled construction would be completed by next September, many students would still have to be turned away, and in most cases old buildings would still have to be kept in use. To slash enrollments, so as to vacate unsafe housing, would be a brutal and simple solution to the problem, which would result in fewer teachers being graduated for the public schools of Pennsylvania. Some critics of Teachers Colleges claim that “they spend all their money on staff and supplies and allow their buildings to fall Upkeep is important. down. Bloomsburg deserves an “A.” Between 1940 and 1955 the school spent about $1,000,000 for new construction and $750,000 on major projects.

Andruss extended greetings. Robert B. Nearing, executive vice president of the First National Bank, Bloomsburg, introduced the speakers. Carney, the first speaker, spoke of the “forgotten man of industry— the man behind the counter” and largely blamed employers for their “failure to invest with dignity and responsibility” in their sales personnel. To this he attributed the failure of the salesman to “create desire of the customer,” the disappearance of “common courtesy,” and the failure to use the power of suggestion. He said few realized the bet on “money salesmen” with advertising budgets of a billion for 8 retail “All billion local in an ad can do is create the desire of possession on the part of the customer’ ’and that was up to the salesman with it “pride in profession, knowledge of product and demonstrative skill to complete the thousands of sales half-made” by advertisements. Carney credited the salesman, not “wrapper clerks” with the economic status of the nation.

Her (Continued on Page 9) THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY TEACHERS COLLEGE BILLS NEED STUDY (Harrisburg Patriot News 5-25-57) of the Pennsylvania Senate may have missed the significance of two bills they passed unanimously recently bills affecting the 14 State Members — Teachers Colleges. One, Senate Bill 330, would grant increases to the instructional staffs of the schools. The other, Senate Bill 694, would require a student “contingent fee” of $150 a year for Pennsylvania residents. It specifies that this money shall go for the operation of the schools “including payment of teachers’ salaries.” This means simply that the students in the teacher training institutions will pay the salary raises of their professalary ' sors. A strong case can be made for raising the money this way rather than by new taxes. Hitherto decided by the Board of Presidents of the 14 schools, contingent fees this year were only $90. The board has already decided to raise them to $100 for next year. Compared to other institutions, the 14,000 students in our teachers colleges are getting by pretty cheaply. Their expenditure for room, board, books and fees (contingent and other) averages about $700 a year. Penn State estimates the average cost to its students at $1,300-$1,400 a year. This includes a contingent fee of $280 a year for Pennsylvanians. Then why not raise the S.T.C. fee? The professors certainly need the salary increase. For one thing, the State, too, gets by rather cheaply in the operation of the 14 campuses. This biennium the State appropriation is $15,600,000. Penn State, with about the same number of students as the S.T.C. system, is getting a State appropriation of $25,194,000. More important perhaps, the administrators of the teachers colleges argue that they are the “poor man’s institution of higher learning”; that they offer students from moderate and low income families an education at a cut rate as well as a chance to become teachers. Whether the teachers colleges should continue as “cut-rate” schools is another question. Under the law, the State is supposed to pay the tuition of the Pennsylvania residents in the S.T.C. system. In effect, they are supposed to be tuition free. Senate Bill 694 raises the contingent fees to the point that it is debatable whether it would still be a fee or would become PLANNING DISCUSSED (Continued from Page 8) velopment of campus plans have been substantially determined for these schools: Bloomsburg, Edinboro, East Stroudsburg, Indiana, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Slippery Rock and West Chester.

A goal of $30,000 has been set for that fund under which Juniors and Seniors are enabled to boriow, interest-free, up to $200. If the goal is attained the privilege would be extended to Sophomores and the maximum raised to $300. Indications were that the Branch would support this project.

TIIE ALUMNI QUARTERLY PROSPECTS FOR 1957-1958 ENROLLMENT The total enrollment for the first semester of the college year 1957-1958 will be more Of this number, approximately 500 1,200 students, with a Freshman Class of 330. are in dormitories, 300 men are living in the Town of Bloomsburg, and about the same than number their of home men are commuting, while the remainder of about 100 are and return each day. women driving from to the college FACULTY A full-time faculty of 60 and a part-time faculty, chiefly cooperating teachers in student teaching centers, of 52, while an increased number over the previous year, still represents a student-teacher ratio which should be lowered as soon as funds are available for the employment of an increased instructional staff. In order that the 700 off-campus stuuents may reach their homes as early as possible, classes are being scheduled for the period from 12:00 to 1:00 o’clock, with a cafeteria mid-day meal hour running from 11:00 to 1:00. Otherwise, a large number of classes would have to be scheduled on Saturdays, or the day would have to be lengthened so that a large number of students would have class at 4:u0 o'clock and have to travel an hour over roads which would became dangerous in the late winter evenings. Faculty salaries have increased by granting double increments varying from $400 to $600 per year to all those members of the instructional staff who were employed last year. FACILITIES The College Commons (Dining Room, Kitchen, and Storage Building) is now in full operation and is feeding more than 600 students ana dining room employees. It is cafeteria service for the breakfast ana luncheon meals, and table service for the evening meal, under an agreement which has been signed with the M. W. Food Company, Allentown, Pennsylvania. More than 100 students living in the Town of Bloomsburg are availing themselves of the opportunity to have their meals on campus. The contract for the renovation of our dmmg room space, so it will be available for use as a Library, is progressing, and it is expected that the large part of the old Library equipment can be moved to this new location during the Christmas Holidays. Stack space for approximately 50,000 books and bounu magazines will thus be made available. As soon as the old Library space is vacated, dormitory rooms to accommodate 25 students on the second floor of Waller Hall Annex will be constructed and will be available for use before the end of the college year. Total cost of this project will exceed $200,000, and represents an expenditure from the regular college budget. NEW BUILDING PROGRAM The General State Authority is reviewing plans for (1) A New Men’s Dormitory to accommodate 200 students, L. P. Kooken Company, New Oxford, Pennsylvania, Architects. (2) A Classroom Building to house the Department of Business Education and the Science Department, John A. Schell, of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, Architect. The total construction cost of these two buildings, plus furniture and equipment, will exceed $1,500,000. However, when they are completed, we shall only be able to offer an opportunity to two-thirds of the men now living in the Town of Bloomsburg to come on campus. When the dormitory is completed, we shall be able to offer campus rooming facilities to 700 and dining facilities to not more than 800. While enrollment of 1,400 was planned for the college year 1953-1959, this will probably be impossible until such a time as the two buildings presently planned are constructed for occupancy. and ready ADMISSION PROBLEMS Two times as many students paid the initial admission fee as could be accepted in the Freshman Class. Probably an equal number either secured admission blanks and did not complete them, or requested admission blanks and were told of the overcrowding and did not follow up their original intention. In other words, there were three applicants for each student admitted, and this situation will probably continue. No matter what plans are made for increasing the size of the campus through land purchases or for building additional buildings, Alumni who are interested in having students apply for admission to Bloomsburg should advise them to do so as early as possible, with the understanding that all students have to rank reasonably high on a qualifying examination, pass a physical examination by their family and college physicians, and have a satisfactory interview with at least two members of the college staff. Bloomsburg has the same problems as other colleges in Pennsylvania, and your underscanding of the conditions will be appreciated by President ALUMNI QUARTERLY Vol. LVIII December, 1957 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA No. 4 HOW MANY As fewer graduates Armed Forces of Teachers TEACH?

Riding the crest of a 13-game winning streak (seven this season) the Rams rolled up 261 points against 33 for the opponents in their contests so far in 1957, but were overjoyed to the fullest to leave town with such a slim margin.

Spearheaded by an all-out effort on the part of the entire aggregation, the gallant band of Huskies stood up at every point to the powerful Ram and provided Coach Blair with a fitting farewell to a somewhat dismal 1957 season. 13 THE ALUMNI COLUMBIA COUNTY PRESIDENT Donald Rabb, ’46 Benton, Pa.

The bulk of displays which jam the three good-sized rooms which make up the museum consists of several thousand arrowheads of every size, shape and description, tomahawk and axe heads, trading beads, wampum, and pestles which the Indians used mortars and for grinding grain. In addition, Mr. Wiant has mounted more than a hundred birds — mostly waterfowl, from the southern states — a beaucollection of moths and many small animals.

He found lowlands near creeks, the best places to search, with slight rises in the land indicating the spots where the Indians had lived. In such spots the Wiants found perhaps ten thousand arrowheads and the many other items which they display. The arrowheads are beautifully mounted on velvet in wooden frames with glass covers. The coloring of the arrowheads in each individual display, Mrs. Wiant who obviously has an artistic bent, has even arranged some to make pictures. One striking display of heads makes up a bowl containing a bouquet of flowers. relics.

Every graduate of tire Some of them have past fifteen years has had a questionnaire sent to him. never answered a single communication from the college since graduation. We are no compiling names and addresses for a new Alumni Directory. For some months we have been running in the Alumni Quarterly a list of persons for whom mail has been returned. In some cases our mail has not been returned, but has been accepted by some member ot your family, and we assume that it has reached the addressee. Some years ago, we found that an Alumnus had been dead for seventeen years and his son had been accepting mail for him over that period of time without advising the college. Only a telephone call, based on the assumption that the advanced years ot the Alumnus was setting some sort of record, brought forth this information. In publishing the list of Alumni addresses in the back of “Bloomsburg Through the Years,” our first attempt at a history of the institution, we did not include the names of those for whom we did not have a current address. Even though a notation was made that the address was missing, or that the person was deceased, did not avoid the feeling of annoyance on the part of the Alumni whose names were omitted. We are planning in the new Alumni Directory to list the names of all gradWill you uates, with or without addresses, by classes, and also alphabetically. please scrutinize your issues of the Alumni Quarterly for the past year and send us any information which you mave have for people named in the list included therein? While we realize we will always have some missing addresses, we would like to reduce them to the smallest number possible. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated by Harvey A. Andruss, P. S. President. An arrangement is being worked out with the Alumni Association whereby those who take out membership for a certain number of years will receive a copy of the new Directory.

In facing the problems before us in 1958, he urged the graduates to remember that attitudes are more important than facts, even though the latter have a definite and important place in our life and work.

CREASY & WELLS BUILDING MATERIALS Martha Creasy, ’04, Vice President Bloomsburg STerling 4-1771 5 What Colleges Expect Of High School Graduates By JOHN A. No problem today is HOCH geeting so much attention from so many families as that of getting sons and daughters to college. Dean John A. Hoch of the Teachers College spoke recently to the County School Directors Association on what colleges expect of the high school graduate. It’s a fine presentation. If the problem is one you face we think you can find considerable information in this address: “A young mother was carefully examining a toy in the toy store. Somewhat puzzled she asked, ‘Isn’t rather complicated for a small child?’ The clerk replied, “It’s an educational toy, madam, designed to adjust the child to live in the this world today— any way he puts it wrong.’ “Factors involved in college success are somewhat like the story— any way you put them together together, it’s they’re likely to be wrong, but two things are certain: getting into college is no longer a matter of dropping the registrar a line or presenting a high school diploma, or scraping together the necessary tuition fees. And staying in college increasingly a calculated risk. is Like everything else in life, there is no certainty about it. “In order to understand the prob- blem— in order more to look objectively at the confusing picture of higher education today— suppose we take a closer look at the situation as it now exists. “To begin with, the American dream, as old as America itself, is to provide formal educational op- portunities for every child the limits of his talents and up to his ca- pacities to use them. This philosophy has been the guiding principle behind the development of our public educational system and our program of higher education. “Today, we enroll in our nearly 2,000 colleges and universities more than three million young men and women. An average more than three out of of slightly ten of our youth of college age are jamming our classrooms and laboratories to the doors, and college enrollments are expected to double by 1967. “Latest figures prepared by the United States Office of Education indicate that only about half of the 6 top quarter in ability among our secondary school youth go on to college. Many lack money. Others lack encouragement. Regardless of the reason, precious talent is going to waste— and at a time in our nation’s history when we cannot afford to waste it. “But there is another horn to our educational dilemma— and it’s just as sharp. Our colleges and universities, already handicapped by inadequate faculties and operating funds, cannot be expected to meet the increasing demand for enrollment-let alone provide additional facilities for a larger percentage of our talented young people. The problem aggravated by the fact is putting a diminishing amount of percentage of the is that the public national income into education. “Edwin Beachler, a staff writer for the Pittsburgh Press, has aptly named the problem, ‘Higher Education’s Battle of the Bulge,’ and it will take more than General McAuliffe’s scornful expression, ‘Nuts, to avert unconditional surrender or They can afford to use more than two or three devices to selective. screen candidates for admission. “It is no longer a question of whether a student can meet the academic standards— or all the standards, whatever they may be— but which ones of the many applicants who meet the standards will be chosen and how the selection is to be made. therefore, “Basically, lem to of how whom to the prob- admit shakes down to admit. “There is no sure-fire method of selecting students for college, but anyone ever gets around to handing out medals or Purple Hearts for service in higher education’s Battle of the Bulge, college admission officers will qualify to the man. Backed up against their ivycovered or state-aided walls, what if is happening to them today should not happen to a buck private. They bear the brunt of the bombardment of student applications, the harassment of parents, friends, and tion. alumni, and the constant sniping of policitians and foes of the inHere is the 1957 Solostitution. “President Eisenhower, himself, has warned that ‘colleges are in no shape to meet the challenge.’ Parents, too, have discovered that they, too, are caught in the vortex ol rising costs and tuition and the mon, Job and Superman all rolled up into one. “What do these officials say — what do they expect? Some of the answers, not all of them, can be found in a recent survey made of collapse in this Bastogne of educa- swirl of admission requirements opinions of forty representative and so-called standards. “What, you ask, does all this have to do with the question we deans of admission of private and public institutions from coast to What does the are considering? college expect of the high school graduate? The answer is obvious: “The deans all admit that a combination of objective and subjective information is more important than any single factor in predicting In other words, college success. there is no single factor that can indicate college potentiality, but in analyzing the objective date available, the deans all agreed that the two best indicators are still (a) high more than ever before; much more than ever before. “Back the in the depression welcome mat was out years, for al- most anyone with a high school Classrooms and dormi- diploma. tories went begging.

They can afford to be more and more registrar coast. school marks, (b) scores on scholaptitude tests, particularly astic general intelligence tests and socalled ‘English’ tests. “I realize that high school teachers can do little or nothing about the I.Q. of college-bound students. 1 even suspect that there is little THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY or nothing yon can do about their high school marks, but each of you can do something about problem of communication ring this recur- ‘English,’ — skills and writing, speaking, the reading, or listening. “Colleges expect that those who now literally beating down their doors be adequately prepared for college work, especially in the area of verbal aptitude. Low comprehension of general vocabulary are and a low faculty for communicacontribute their share to breaking the academic camel’s tion back.’ “Perhaps the biggest single reason for low verbal aptitude is that the principal vocabulary builderreading— is neglected between the ages of 10 and 16.

Hartzell, of Bucknell, hit the nail on the head when he said recently, ‘We as parents get the kind of schools we deserve.’ “Moreover, if academic progress and achievement are adequately measured by high school grades, a so-called ‘poor’ student will likely become a college casualty within High the first or second year. school marks and ranks in class are academic inter-related factors, and whether we agree with it or not, those students whose grades place them in the upper half of their graduating class are more likely to be admitted to college since admission officers consider them better ‘aca- demic risks.’ “The 40 deans concluded, student’s grades place him ‘If the in the upper half of a graduating class that numbers at least 50 or 60, and if his grades in English, mathematics, history, and the sciences have been creditable, he probably can do— not will do— college work. “Objective data, as are not infallible. we well know, Officials of the Educational Testing Service, authors of the College Boards, are the APRIL, 1958 to concede that the tests are good predictors in only one out of every two cases. Even when combined with high school marks and first rank in class, a perfect prediction is impossible; it must be admitted that high school teaching and programs vary so widely that accurate estimates cannot be made with certainty. This kind of information, as we have pointed out before, merely reveals that a student can do or may be able to do college work. That he will do it may be a horse of another color for there is much evidence to support the belief that there are many students who can do who are either unable or unwilling to achieve in college. “Students’ study habits are also important. It is a well known fact that good study habits enable a student of his own volition to prepare adequately for each class assignment. Parents who are hoping that cess John or Judy of will make a suc- college experience should recall whether or not John their or Judy willingly completed homework assignments despite interruptions. Was help sought for difficult assignments or were the tasks worked out essentially without parental help or the kind of prodding or nagging that usually passes for help? Was John or Judy really curious to know? ‘The largest single reason for failure in college (or college dropouts) is academic failure, regardless of reasons given by students. One-third of every Freshman class falls by the academic wayside, while the national average of those graduating is slightly more than 50 per cent of those entering. Academic difficulties account for three of every four casualties, even though the record might indicate such face-saving reasons as ‘not interested’ or ‘getting married’ or ‘joining the armed forces.’ “Allied with sound study habits are such factors as ability to concentrate, intellectual curiosity, high standards of achievement, and willingness to use such study aids, helpers, and guides as the dictionary or encyclopedia or reference books. “Here is where the secondary school teacher can do an effective job. tailed Times does not permit a destatement of what can be done, but the interested classroom teacher can do much to help college-bound youngsters develop the kind of study habits necessary for college success. “Finally, colleges expect high school graduates to have those personality traits or characteristics which maturity— psychoand social. That have important predic- indicate logical, emotional, these traits value is indicated by the fact that two-thirds of 607 colleges and tive universities recently surveyed place greater now weight on these criteria for admission then they did ten years ago. Dean Hartzell, Bucknell, says flatly, ‘Some college freshmen are not yet weaned psychologically; their immaturity ac- counts for many failures.’ “Certainly, adaptability is important— the presence or absence of and independence means the difference between success and failure. Many a high immaturity school valedictorian has learned are not assurance of college laurels. A college freshinan lives in a strange, new worldthat ‘brains’ one filled with new problems, new people and often vexing. “Character, too, is mighty imporDefined as ‘what we do when no one’s watching,’ character is a prize possession for there are many hours in a freshman’s life when f here is no one watching. “Concluded our 40 deans, ‘If a high school graduate is able to tant. adapt to a new situation with poise, independence, and mturity, and if he has no serious emotional conflicts, you may chalk up another “X” in his favor.’ “One would be fool-hardy indeed to conclude that college success, therefore, rests on a three-legged foundation— a sound academic preparation with ability to do college work— good study habits— personality traits that make for maturity, judgment, and character. Some college deans would advise sincerity of purpose, good health, sound financial backing, careful good selection of the college, intelligent counselling and guidance, and so on— long into the night. And they are right, for success in college is 7 TWO-ACT DRAMA INSTRUCTOR OF ENGLISH “Summer and Smoke,” a two-act drama by Tennessee Williams, was presented by the Players of tire Bloomsburg State Teachers College Mrs. Charlotte A.

While all proposed buildings are which shown on this plan, a portion of the will be used for the Football Field, Baseball Diamond, camps Running Track, and Recreation Area, covering more than fifteen acres, is not shown at the right of this illustration. The general plan provides for a Living Area in which all dormitories, dining rooms, heating plant, maintenance buildings, laundry, and administration building will be located. The Learning Area includes the two Laboratory Schools, Auditorium, five Classroom Buildings, Library, and the present Gymnasium, while at the extreme right, bounded by Chestnut Street, a Field House will be erected in the area devoted to Athletic and Recreational Activities. Several buildings will be demolished in order to provide sites for new buildings. Among these will be the old barn and the caretaker’s cottage, to provide a site for a Men’s Dormitory, which is expected to be ready for occupancy in September, 1959. North Hall is to be razed to provide a site for a second Men’s Dormitory, located adjacent to the present College Commons. One wing of Waller Hall will be preserved, and Noetling Hall will be demolished so as to provide an E-shaped dormitory for women facing East Second Street. In time the women’s dormitories will be located around the site of the present Science Hall. Carver Hall will continue to be used as an Administration Building, while a new Auditorium will be constructed at the end of Spruce Street, with its back to Light Street Road. A Library will be located on the Mount Olympus Athletic Field on the approximate area of the present baseball diamond. Other buildings which will need to be constructed in the more distant future are an additional Maintenance Building, a President’s Residence, and additions to the Power Plant and Laundry Buildings. A student capacity of 2,000 assumes that dormitories will accommodate 1,300 or 1,400 students, while off-campus students living in the Town of Bloomsburg and those commuting to the campus each day vary from 300 to 400 in each of these two groups. will Since our new College Commons seats 800 students for dining purposes, a second dining room needs to be constructed, either as a separate building or food prepared in the present College Commons may be made available by underground passage to the Men’s Dormitory, until such time as a second dining room needed. proposals which have been suggested from time to time may cause this plan to be changed. Among these suggestions are the chartering of a Junior College to be developed as a division of the present State Teachers College and located on property now owned by the Bloomsburg Country Club. Another possibility is the change in the functions of State Teachers Colleges to include curriculum offerings to college students other than those who are preparing to be teachers. The pressure of enrollments, the amount of tax monies available, and the additional support which the citizens of Pennsylvania may wish to give to the development of institutions supported by the Commonwealth will determine whether or not the Bloomsburg State Teachers College will become in time "The Bloomsburg State College.” In the instance of the Junior College idea, this means the offering of two years of college work of a general character to all students, while the State College idea would increase these offerings to four years, leading to the Bachelor’s Degree. In any event, the college has twice as many students as in the period before World War II, and as rapidly as buildings and facilities are available this number will be increased to the 2,000 maximum. Out of 700 applications for admission received, only 440 can be admitted for the semester beginning September, 1958. is Some Harvey A.

A bill for the board of trustees to charge students two-thirds of the cost of tuition did not pass but inasmuch as there was not sufficient revenue to meet expenses the teachers college had to increase charges.

TIIE ALUMNI QUARTERLY THE ALUMNI LOAN FUND (From the "Passing Throng’’ You’ve all heard and probably used upon a number of occasions that line about “great oaks from little acorns grow.” We had something come to light the Teachers College Alumni Association session to which that axiom, observation or what have you can be applied. During the sessions Earl A. Gehrig, the treasurer, reported a total in the various loan funds of $23,737. Of this $10,475 is out on loans. Officials of both the graduate body and the college mentioned the increased costs of attending the institution and of the growing at demand for loans. There were thir- ty-one such requests granted during the past college year. Dr. Andruss in his address outlining the future plans of the institution, told of what the students, through the profits of the college book store, are doing to aid. He observed the grade body needs a loan fund of at least $30,000.

This is a tribute to the memories of Prof. Oliver H. Bakeless an dhis wife. Prof. Bakeless was one of the “Old Guard” and his wife for some years was also a member of the faculty and through practically all of her life, a leading booster of Bloomsburg. The fund caught the attention of the college community, which gave Ac$2,500, and of the graduates. cording to the reports submitted at the general session it has now over $8,500 and seems headed for much more.
