LXI April, I960 STATE COLLEGE BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA No. I FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES A MESSAGE Hon. C. William Kreisher (Address delivered at the Testimonial Dinner, March 15, 1C63, celebrating the Twentieth Anniversary of Dr. Harvey A. Andruss as President of the Bloomsburg State (Teachers) College.) MR. CHAIRMAN, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS am AND FRIENDS: have been selected by the Faculty Association who initiated the movement unfolding here tonight, to accept on behalf of our college the porI honored and proud to our college president, Dr. Andruss. are here to pay tribute to a great college president who has devoted twent;. years of his life to the outstanding development of the college on the hill. My knowledge of our guest tonight dates back to my law school days when his college fraternity brother from Oklahoma, John A. Hervey, became Dean of Temple Law This early acquaintance became solidly forged upon my becoming a t-ustee School. of the college more than ten years ago. It is embarrassing to a good man to be praised and such a man does not need praise. One of my favorite quotations from Emerson is: “Don't tell me what you are, because what you are speaks so loud, I cannot hear you.” In September of 1959, a series of articles appeared in The Morning Press of Bloomsburg dealing with the first twenty years of the administration of our guest as President trait of We of the college. In January of this year, a booklet containing these articles was published with the frontpiece containing a picture and an exhaustive biographical and achievement sketch of our guest of honor. Believing I am justified in giving everyone present here tonight credit the ability to read, deters me from reviewing the contents of this revealing report. When a lawyer stands up in argument court and proceeds to read to the Court his brief of the case, it comes as sort of an affront because we assume the lawyer is taking the position that either the judge is so unlearned that he cannot read, or that the brief is the work of somebody else and the lawyer is taking the Court’s time to inform himself about the case. Therefore, I leave the record as it is written, as it is a proud record which requires no embellishment and ask your indulgence but for a moment of some more personal observations of our guest of honor which I have come to know after more than 150 lengthy and sometimes heated deliberations by the Board of Trustees in session regularly convened. My admiration and respect for our guest of honor tonight flows not from one source, but like a great river which becomes great by reason of the many tributaries which flow into it. A profound commentator on Washington said, “He was great not because of his talents, but because he possessed the character which made was his talents trusted.” saying of mine whenever I ran for office: ‘‘No man is big enough for any office unless he is big enough to get along without that office.” I meant that a man who can exist happily without the office he is seeking will, if he attains the office, be likely to discharge the duties of that office with courage, fidelity and efficiency. Sometimes an office or position It a favorite gives a man an opportunity to prove his greatness, but his real greatness is in himself and not in the office or position he occupies. Our guest tonight could worthily fill any position and I know that he appraises more highly than the position he holds, the respect and esteem of his fellowmen which he possesses in such full measure. Harvey Andruss and has been an educator and administrator, but he has been much more. His vigor, hopes and vision have been centered on this institution and to bring about the reality of his dreams, he has been an accountant, an architect, is landscape gardner, a painter, a lawyer, a banker, a public relations director, a real politician, and above all, a most devoted worker for his institution. a Never once in all these years has he failed to have his agenda ready for the board, with prompt and courteous explanations of his plans and dreams and then the courage and ability to carry them through even though it required many trips to our state capitol and protracted arguments with the powers that be, but he somehow got the job done. There is no substitute for hard work and when one believes cause like our guest has always believed, there is no room We respect a person who studies his plan thoroughly and who, when he comes to a conclusion, states and fights for that conclusion unhesitating. The general who equivocates and hesitates is generally lost. I have read in a military book that, "A general who makes a wrong decision, but who carries it out with vigor and energy, is far superior to a general who in his to pussyfoot. hesitates.” My experience with Dr. Andruss has been that after he thoroughly studies his plan of attack and comes to a conclusion he maintains it with vigor and persuasiveness, however always retaining his gentlemanly conduct and fairness. In honoring Dr. Andruss tonight, we might feel that we are honoring ourselves, because we might say we all helped in one way or another even though to a much less degree, but our real purpose tonight is to pay tribute to and say “thank you" to the one who deserves the real praise, without forgetting, however, She has contributed that tonight we honor Mrs. Andruss also. greatly to her husband’s success. Probably the only regret Dr. Andruss has for the many laborious days and nights he has given to his institution is that these hours deprived him of just I am sure that many hours of Mrs. Andruss' companionship. that the honors he receives he gladly shares with his wife because she helped him earn them. Dr. Andruss is a candid man, ever true to himself and never false to anyone. He does not tread the dark and winding ways of Being a man of intrigue; one also knows where to find him. genuine ability himself, the ability of others never excites in him either envy or enmity. He would never attempt to raise his own mental or moral stature by belittling others. No matter how absurd or how obvious the answer to a board member’s question may be, he always says, “Now, that's a good question” and at once proceeds with a willing and plausible explanation. It must have been when he this kind of man Emerson had in mind wrote. “Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort oi feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thought nor measure words, but pouring them all right out just as they arc chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with the brealo of kindness blow the rest away.” In the presence of Dr. Andruss, one feels that he can “tiling out loud with safety." Confidence reposed in him is never betrayed. His accurate sense of life’s values is a blessed virtue and the honor given him tonight is truly justly deserved. There are many other things I would like to mention if time permitted, such as the artist, portrait, and other fine attributes and traits of character of our guest which I have left unmentioned, but I feel it is now time for me to join with all those present in saying, “Thank you, Dr. Andruss, and our very best wishes in the — years to come.’ THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY No. Vol. LXI, April, I "EVER The Bloomsburg T State College has ten thousand living graduates.

In the course of his professionDr. Row has had extensive experience in the organ- al activities, and conduct of workshops which teachers and administrators prepared actual teaching materials. He headed a recently com pleted two-year study in Delaware which resulted in the publication of a new document "The Handbook for Secondary Schools.” The study also produced a system for the evaluation of junior and senior high schools, and Dr. Row is the chief director and coordinator for ization in this activity. In October, 1959, Dr. Row joined a group of 30 American school administrators who toured four North European countries, and spent an additional days in Russia. The latter tour included visits to APRIL, 1960 more than twenty educational where the group sat in- stitutions in classrooms to observe actual teaching procedures, methods, and materials.

However, a College such as Bloomsburg represents a special kind — mental opportunity for — of community. It is special in the sense that it must assume the responsibility for preparing teachers for the schools of our democracy. This means that when the faculty and the students are selected their leadership potentials must be evaluated. In other words, faculty leadership must offer leadership opportunities for our future teachers. In final analysis the extent to which the college meets its obligations is directly related to the character of its graduates of the past, and to its future graduates as represented by the present student body. This thought contemplates a continuity of that intangible, but real entity, that we the spirit of the institution. strated by body.

I congratulate President Andruss and the Faculty upon another great opportunity to demonstrate leadership service for our State and for our Nation.

Andruss of Bloomsburg State College spoke to Task Force 4, Teacher Education. Doctor Andruss made certain proposals: first, those that would require legislation; and second, those that would require certain administrative changes under present legislation. Dr. Andruss pointed out that higher education has now become a matter of concern in the nation, since many of the technological, economic and administrative advantages are dependent upon the best brains in the country, which are now being educated in our colleges. Turning to teacher education and noting that Pennsylvania has a larger proportion of its total ber of colleges engaged in numthis than any other state in the union, Dr. Andruss noted that out of the total of eighty odd colleges, seventy have the authority to train field teachers; however, ten colleges and universities train less than ten teachers each year, which means that they have the authority but do Furnot carry out the function. thermore, eight of this group are not accredited by a Regional Association, and only eighteen of the seventy are accredited by the Na- of versities. If higher education is a part of National policy and defense, then institutions educating teachers should meet the requirements for accreditation and the Pennsylvania State Council of Education should require every institution, training teachers in Pennsylvania, to meet the requirements within ten years. Among the other suggestions made by Dr. Andruss were the following: 1. The present State Council of national Education should have its memnine increased from to twenty - one members; two Councils within this body should be constituted, one with seven members for the Council on Elementary and Secondary Education, and another with seven members for the Council on Higher Edu- bership cation. Legislation should be passed the Governor to fill within thirty or sixty days all vacancies which occur on the boards of trustees of State (Teachers) Col2. to instruct leges. 3. The Presidents of State Col- on nominations of boards of trustees, should receive their final appointment from the State Superleges, should be wiped out through passage of a law to repeal this section. Speaking about the relations of State Colleges to certain Departments of State Government, with the exception of the Department of Public Instruction but dealing more particularly with he Department of Property and Supplies, there should be introduced again, that passed the Senate but failed to pass the House last year. This bill provided that one-half of any funds, lapsed at the end of a biennium, should be credited to Dr. Andruss the next biennium. a bill urged passage of this legislation, since one-half of the budgets of the State Colleges are paid by students for instruction and housing, and the amounts the students pay for these specific purposes should not be thrown into the general treasury to balance off shortages in other areas of State Govern- ment. Another piece of Legislation was have permitted State Collgees to purchase goods and services up to $500 and to have taken bids and awarded contracts for repairs and renovations not to exceed $12,000. to (Continued on Page 32) THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY No. 2 Vol. LXI, July, t COLLEGE APPROVED FOR GRADUATE STUDIES Published quarterly by the Alumni of the State College, Bloomsburg, Pa.

Hubler, 14 West Biddle JULY, 1960 Street, The Bloomsburg State College has been given approval by the Pennsylvania State Council of Education to grant the degree of Master of Education in the Elementary and Business fields, beginning in the summer of 1961. Pursuant to this new expansion, a reference librarian will be added to the present four-member library staff when the fall semester begins in September, I960, and additional expenditures will be made to increase the library holdings. Recently, the first payment on a contract, existing between Bloomsburg State College and the Bloomsburg Public Library, was made to compensate in part for the service rendered by the Bloomsburg Library to college students. approval comes to an inmore than 90 years, has trained teachers for the elementary schools.

Andruss in Bloomsburg is the first and members with the rank of professor or assicate professor were available for assignments to teach graduate courses. Of this number, 19 held the Doctor’s Degree and 16 held the Master’s Degree. With the expansion of the faculty from 83 to 105, it is expected that the numer of advanced degree holders will be greatly increased. At the time the college was re-accredited by the Middle States Association in February, 1960, there were 23 holders of the doctorate out of a total staff of 81; a graduate staff of 38 was then available, of which 22 held the Doctor’s Degree. Bloomsburg begins a new phase of the education of those who are entering the teaching profession. Five years of pre-service education were recognized in part by the new certification regulations which 12 semester hours of work for making . a college certificate permanent and by the mandatory salary schedule which recognizes the holder of a Master’s Degree by requiring sal- ary increments of $400 in excess of those who hold the Bachelor’s Degree.

AndBloomsburg russ, President of State College, conferred the Bachelor of Science degree on the 236 Seniors who completed their re- quirements in May or will complete them during the summer sessions. Dr. Bereday, Professor of Comparative Education at the Teachers College, Columbia University, was born in Poland in 1920 and British Ministry of Education, a research post at the Russian Research Center at Harvard, and a teaching post at Boston College. “Man asked God for the book and went on to rule the world because back of the book there is the teacher,” Dr. Bereday told the members of the class. “On one side we as teachers have been chastised for not teaching Americans about organized knowledge. On the other hand the stories of the ingenuity and the energy of the people of this nation are abundant.” The speaker listed a variety of Americans incidents in which have changed the drab into something colorful and attractive. joined the Polish Cavalry at the age of eighteen. As a member of the British Parachute Regiment, he commanded a Polish Battalion at the Battle of Arnhm, Holland in 1944 and was decorated with the Virtuti Militaria, Poland’s highest military decoration. His education includes Bachelor of Arts ,gnd Master of Arts degrees in history from the University of Oxford, England, a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from the University of London, and a Doctor of there is ingenuity in our school buildings, and in the experimental program in education in those buildings. He urged the graduates to balance themselves, to be aware of the critics and to be able to say counto every one, “Here is one try of the world where change is normal and lack of change is abnormal.” The speaker said he came to this country ten years ago as an im- Education years have been an American citizen. He told the graduates “I feel that the United States is great as a nation because of our type of school system in which we have Philosophy degree in from Harvard University. He became an American citizen in 1955, and he married Mary Hale Gillam of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Bereday joined the faculty of the Teachers College in 1955, specializing in the study of foreign educational systems, particularly European education with major attention devoted to England and the Soviet Union. He is the editor “Comparative Education of the Review” and is joint editor of the “Yearbook of Education.” Other works published under his co-editorship, include: “Liberal Tradi- Harvard, 1958; “Public Education in America,” Harper, 1958; “The Politics of Soviet Education,” Praeger, 1960; tions in Education,” “The Changing Soviet School,” Houghton-Mifflin, 1960.

We do not allow ourselves to be so regulated and so systematized that there is no opportunity for change and growth. This is our strength. these critics hold teachers in contempt. They are too apt, also, to suggest glib answers for the problems of education. Teachers as human beings suffer from the terrible temptations of trying to remold the world into the shape they like and think is best. “We need teachers who are alive and stimulating,” he asserted and reminded the graduates that .what they see at eye level is never good enough. “Your actions are just as important in private life as they are in public life.” He decried the American who sits back and points to achievement rather than looking ahead to the many other things which can be done. “Our aim as teachers is to use our talents to mold and to create.” The candidates for degrees were recognized at the commencement as the degrees were conferred by Dr. Harvey A. Adruss, president. After the ceremonies the graduates in the various divisions went to designated places on the campus where the certificates were department presented by the heads. This feature, new this year, gave a personal touch. It also allowed for the taking of photographs by parents and friends. Those in business education got their awards from Dr. Thomas B. Martin at Sutliff Hall; those in elementary education from Royce O. Johnson at Ben Franklin School, and those in secondary education from George Fike and in special education from Donald F. Maietta at the gymnasium. “Most American parents and family members want the best for their children and this desire is not limited by the race, color, creed or wealth of the parent.” In answer to critics, he said he wanted to point out that too many people who want to run the schools do not have the knowledge and the background to suggest Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education: Gary Fisher Anderson, Jeanette Gail Andrews, Ilene M.

His theme was “Divine NonsenVictorious Living.” The se For minister referred to Christ’s advice effort is human to said, several people when He yourself. Take up your cross “Deny and follow me.” The speaker observed, he, as a number of other people, believed that “deny yourself” meant going without some- thing but actually it means giving up all right to yourself.

People of other religions point out that with the sword went the cross and that as the Christians became strong in a military and economic way they also spread Christianity. Some underprivileged nations and people accept Christianity in the hope they can enjoy the standard of living we have, but now, as some of these nations are growing and prospering they no longer see or feel the need for Christian ity- are “People of other nations questioning whether Christians are peaceful and peace loving. These recent people emphasize that in years most wars have been started world. Also, Christian nations dropped the first atomic bomb.

This means that personal laundry service will no longer be offered by the College to students Effective June 1, 1961, the Housing rate will be raised to $576 ($324 food, $252 room). This action relates only to the future polto room rentals, and makes no prediction regarding fu- icy relating ture food costs. These increases are subject to change if the cost of food service is increased.

A have by Foundation through the National Education Association, is to develop certain Business Subject Matter for academically talented students in American high Most of these students schools. are college Therefore, bound. they are not as interested in the Typewriting, Shorthand, and Machine Comptuation except for personal use. A projected course in the American Free Enterprise System, representing a new approach to Economics has been suggested and outlined by a committee of twenty-five nationally known educators which met in Washington in January. Doctor Andruss was a member of the of committee and indicates that one of the difficulties lies in the problem of school officials in staffing such positions. If teachers original attempt to teach Economics, they frequently do not know enough about practical busiof History ness affairs to make it effective for the individual point of view. Certainly automation will make the skills of typewriting and shorthand unnecessary, and, in time, the present day typewriter will be a museum piece. Machines have already been developed into which you dictate and the machine does the transcription. Since most of the enrollment in the Business Education courses at the present time is in the fields of typewriting and shorthand, and there has been a relative decrease in tire enrollments in bookkeeping, JULY, 1960 and less time for superhave less and less responsi- less vision, recent project, sponsored the Carnegie skills law, and related subjects, there is some question whether a skeleton of skilled subjects will support a curriculum in the secondary school. Closing the survey of what to expect in Business Education in the thirty years after I960, Doctor Andruss mentioned that a research study, originally made by William C. Forney, formerly Director of the Department of Business Education in 1931, was repeated in 1941 and again in 1951 by Clayton H. Ilinkel. The study indicates that the heads or directors of business departments in Pennsylvania bility for the adoption of textbooks, have fewer opportunities to oper- employment services, and sometimes would have a work-experience program if they did not ate have teaching programs. The challenge to Business Education, in order to maintain its present position in the secondary school, is that of developing heads of business departments who are able to explain the values in Business Education to academicallytrained high school principals. Unless we have more supervision and more leadership. Business Education will become a less and less important segment of secondary education. full INVITED PRESIDENTS in Bus- Harvey Bloomsburg iness Education,’’ President Andruss A. “while mount.” pointed out that and knowledges are skills important, the of College State attitudes are Andruss Dr. various aspects of this para- discussed theme in his address to the annual conference of the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Business Educators Association at Indiana State College, Saturday afternoon, April 23, 1960.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Doctor Andruss Speaks Speaking before the Annual Meeting of Bloomsburg RECIPIENTS OF THE MERITORIOUS Alumni State To Alumni AWARD College, President Harvey A. Andruss predicted that these institutions are on the verge of the greatest expansion in their histories. Quoting a recent study made by a special features writer lor the Harrisburg Patriot, Doctor Andruss pointed out that in the last decade the colleges ol Pennsylvania had increased their enrollment about 25 percent, whereas Pennsylvania State University had increased cent, its enrollment 43 per- and the State Colleges had increased their enrollment 62 percent. This is evidenced by the fact have to provide that the State will more opportunities for the oncoming generation of American youth to attend colleges and universities. Since the expansion of private institutions is limited by gifts from Alumni and Foundations, and income from endowments, it can be expected that these high cost institutions will be able to expand only at one-third to one-half the rate that it will be necessary for the public institutions to expand in order to meet even a part of the need. In fact, the Harrisburg Special Features Writer titled his articles “Educational Stalemate. There are many cross currents in our operation. For instance, a prediction of the Department of Public Instruction, that the demand for public school teachers will fall off in 1965, 1966, 1967 and thereafter, on account of a lessening school enrollment, is accompanied by the same figures showing that college from enrollments increase will must be rec- It 15,000 to 25,000. that in State Colleges, whose primary objective is that of educating teachers, public school experience is a requisite or requirement for employment, and that at a time when enrollments are in- ognized creased at the rate of 15,000 to 25,000 a year in college, undoubtedly college administrations will dip down into the public schools for teaching personnel.

Pennsylvania faces many problems which are being reviewed now by the Governor’s Committee on Education before which I have the opportunity to appear on Teacher Education. This opportunity will be afforded me on June 3, 1960, when a brief or paper will be presented to Task Force No. 4 on Teacher Education.

There is at least a little spark of sentiment in the heart of each one of us today for our Alma Mater, else we would not be here. Without the bonds of friendship, and the sentiment of memories of days gone by, there would be no golden golden reunion for the class of 1910, nor would the rest of you be attending your reunion. I hope this day will be all you have looked forward to in anticipation of these events. — These magnificent buildings the advanced courses of study the in- — creased opportunities offered to the students of today make us realize that the Bloomsburg State Normal School of yesterday has really become a great educational institution, now called Bloomsburg State College. It is a vast — monument man’s intelligence constructive genius. But to really a college, one must look inside. looking inside we see Dr. Andruss to — see So and corps of able assistants who are doing a magnificent job. They are sending out well equipped young men and women to all parts of the country to contribute their share to the stability and welfare of society. The point I wish to make clear is that a college is not confined to the buildings and campus that mark the The — real college ex- — the minds the hearts the ambitions the shortcomings and even the failures of its alumni. All the true worth of any college is tied up in the sentiment it creates in its graduates ists in — — and its ideals. I feel we have these sentiments and for its traditions sure We ideals ingrained within us. this college which gave us our love train- and stamped its approval upon our progress by granting us a diploma which confers on us the honor of being numbered among its graduates, and ing, JTJLY, 1960 — We of the golden age have the retired part of our lives, come to but we are not retiring. Let us have ideals and ideas that will keep our interests alert, and still give us zest for life. There is great satisfaction in achievement, so let us not go to seed let us carry on with enthusiasm, even though we belong to the golden age of 50 year alumni. So to all of the class of 1910 who — have gathered here for uor reunion let us relive good memories of the happy days spent here.

Following the presentation of the Class of 1910 to the Alumni, Robert Metz made the following Sutliff, us membership in its body of alumni. I venture to say that these thoughts are uppermost in our minds today as we recall our schooldays here, and meet our classmates of former years. Greying hair and wrinkled brow cannot drive away the memories of the carefree days we spent here. Perhaps we haven’t all become the great men and women we once thought we would perhaps the sun of success ha§. not shown too brightly upon us perhaps we have fallen soewhat short of the realization of our inflated dreams of our schooldays. But what does that matter today? We are thrilled with the memories of the things we did in the past which have became traditions of the collgee.

The present procedure is not only time consuming, but in some cases it means that the purchase can’t be completed by the time the goods or services are needed.

It is estimated, that if the study were made now, the figure would reach $900. Pennsylvania has from all sources, both State and student, about $700.

The State should assume seventy-five percent of the instructional cost and also maintenance and operation of all buildings except dormi- which should be self-liquidating and self-supporting.

The development of State Colleges in the direction of offering Bachelor’s degrees on a four-year basis, to student in Arts, Sciences, Business Administration, Journalism and other fields, should be launched only after a State-wide study has been made to determine the needs of youth and the demands for college preparation which are not now being met by existing institutions. After these demands are determined, State Colleges may undertake these responsibilities but this is a second and subsequent step and should not be attempted at this time, according to the best judgment of the speaker. At the present time, the students of State Colleges are paying a larger proportion of the cost of their instruction than is paid in the nation as a whole.

It ended at a point near the present P. O. for the College. Carver Hall and Noetling Hall were connected by a covered bridge. The Auditorium had no Gallery. No long porch and no Gymnasium existed. The present Library was the Dining Room for Teachers and Boarding Students. Long tables, with a member of the Faculty at the head of each table, seated twelve students. The Kitchen was to the left as you entered the Dining Room. The Heating Plant was under the Auditorium, with a tall brick chimney at the S. E. corner. The Gym was built about 1891. STUDENT LIFE I was surprised to find many rules in force to regulate the Student Body. No student could loiter in the Halls or Grounds to “intercommunicate” with each other. Passing from classroom to the Auditorium or to another class must be in single file. Teachers stood at class room doors to note any infraction of Rules. Demerits were recorded by the Faculty for getting out of line. A certain number was punishable by confining the Student to the campus, or, if the number reached a certain size, the student was sent home for an enforced vacation.

THE CURRICULUM The catalogue show that all preparing to teach had a definite program for all grades. Later changes were made to prepare students for special grades. The official name of the Institution was Bloomsburg Normal School and Literary Institute. This made it possible to secure Training for H. S. Teaching by electing certain courses from both fields. It was not until 1920 that permission was granted to offer courses to certify Students to teach in High Schools.

Here are a few that we have: Football at Bloomsburg State College had been at rock bottom in the days before the conflict and about the time we got into that titanic scrap it was taken off the program on the hill. The reasoning in that regard was good. There weren’t many men on the campus and only a handful of those had any interest in playing the game. And in that handful there was considerably more desire than ability. During the Navy program of war years we did get some boys here who played the sport and from the service personnel we had a few teams that did fairly well considering the time the boys had to drill and the numerous person- from week to week. was during that period the administration announced that after the war it would reinstate football as a varsity sport and planned to do it in such a way that the team would be truly representative of nel changes It the College. 1960 mighty fine high "Lefty” was a talented chap and he and Hoch recruited some top veteran grid material for the ’46 season. Everything was in order for a big start and then, just on the eve of the opening, Danks died suddenly, victim of a heart attack. Hoch, at the request of the squad, took over. The team tied Mansfield in a bruising scoreless battle at Athletic Park in the opener, lost the next three and then finished out with 4 wins in a row to give the Huskies the first 10 consecutive seasons of winning football. Hoch had no aspirations for the head coaching job and filled it with the understanding relief would be forthcoming the following fall. Redman was that relief. No one around here knew Bob. He had had success at Sayre High, his alma mater, and later in starting football class. OCTOBER, The first step in fulfillment of the announced plan was to get A. J. (Letty) Danks and John A.

It was at that point Dean Hoch, a Penn State alumnus, gave out his famous interview about California being the “Penn State football farm.” We wonder if the dean remembers.

Keffer Hartline, Rockefeller Institute. Dr. Hartline, son of the late and Mrs. D. S, Hartline, is a native of Bloomsburg and a graduate of the local College. Within the past year he was one of the men honored by Lafayette College of which he is also an alumnus. Wtih regard to the microbes from other planets, the scientists said that once on earth these micProf, ro-organisms could proliferate rapidly and pose a danger to agricul- and perhaps humans. The view was given by the space science board of the National Academy of Science. As a matter of “precautionary wisdom,” it said, great care should be taken in esture tablishing direct contact with planets and a “stringent embargo” should be placed against the “pre- mature return of samples from planets. Dr. Lederberg and Dr. Hartline issued tlie warning in a report entitled ‘The Biological Sciences and Space Research.” It is a part of a series being made by the board to outline new frontiers in space re- search. It emphasized that the explora- of planets, including the search for forms of life, could be expected “to give us new insights into the origin and evolution of the physical universe and of the chemical phenomena that consti- rotation of the earth. However, the report went on, biological research in space should aim ultimately at exploration for life on planets and the moon, first, with unmanned instruments, and later by the retrieving of samples. While such samples “would definitely be the most informative means for the advancement of planetary science,” the report said, they would “also introduce the risk of back-contamination” by extra-terrestial micro-organisms. The risk “cannot be decisively evaluated within the framework of our present knowledge of planetary biology,” it stressed, but it is of “particular concern” because of “the unique capability of living orespecially micro-organism, to proliferate rapidly and oc- ganisms, cupy new habitats.” For the same reason, the report said, steps should be taken to sterilize space ships so they would not contaminate planets or the moon with terrestial fonns of life.

Of the more than 550 freshmen who did enroll on lin September 13, “We assume that, when a student able to meet our qualifications for admissions, he is able to do college work successfully if he chooses.” A new method of notifying parents and students of grades earned during each nine week period was described by Dean Hoch. It was noted that both parents and students are notified at any time of the year when a student’s grades in a particular class need to be raised if he expects to complete the course with a passing grade. These and other measures were explained by Dean Hoch as part of the College program to help students resolve or prevent acais demic difficulties. Dr. Andruss reminded the parents that the College is a State institution, and that students currently pay about half the cost of their education. If costs to students increase much more, it is likely that the College can not go on as strictly public institution. He referred to the possibility of admitting a much larger Freshman These larger class in the future. classes would, after the first two years, be divided into three groups.

Page 3 Requests For Buildings For 14 State Colleges When the Legislature of Pennsylvania convenes in January, 1961, requests will be considered for new buildings to be constructed on campuses of the fourteen state colleges. During the last decade, the private arts colleges have increased 25 percent in enrollment, Pennsylvania State University 53 percent, while the State (Teachers) Colleges have 63 percent more students than in 1950. It is evident that continued increases in the enrollment of college students will be met largely, in the future, by state-owned and state-supported institutions of higher education. Constant planning for future construction must continue. The Department of Public Instruction, represented by Dr. Harold Alderfer, is bringing together members of a committee, designated by the Governor’s Office of Administration, State Planning Board, and Budget Secretary to meet with the President and representatives of each State College. on the present campus and two or four-year general college is located on the proposed Country Club site.

A 1923 teacher’s contract in Idaho shows what was expected in those days: Be home from 8 p. m. to 6 a. m. Don’t loiter in ice cream parlors. Don’t smoke cigarettes, and don’t drink beer, wine, or whiskey. Don’t leave town without permission. Don’t ride in a carriage or auto with any man except your father or brother. Don’t dress in bright colors, dye your hair or use face powder, mascara or lipstick, two and wear at least petticoats.

Y., Dr. Russell appeared before a Congressional Committee hearing, Washington, D.

The House of Representatives approved such a bill in May, 1959. The Senate Public Lands Subcommittee passed the measure on February 27, 1960. The Senate Interior Committee and the full Senate are now expected to vote favorably on this bill, preliminary to its passage into a law. Samuel Wilson, who is said to have had the tall, slender build and gaunt face of the “Uncle Sam” pictured in thousands of cartoons, was born in Arlington, Mass., September 13, 1766. In young manhood he settled in Troy, N. Y., where he was engaged in the meat packing business. During the War of 1812 his Troy packing house meat to the American Army.

This is a part of the National Defense made by Loan Program. Male students requested about $75,000 and women students about $25,000. Since this amount was not available, a committee, headed by Dr. Donald D. Rabb, approved loans for 280 students in the amount of approximately $60,000, of which $45,000 was loaned to men and $150,000, either in loans or in money to be loaned; it is available to both Junior and Senior students, without interest, to the amount of $500.

As would be expected, Seniors borrowed the most money and Freshmen the least amount of money. The loans averaged $209.80 for the 280 students who were aided by this means.

The Alumni Board of Directors recently increased the maximum loan from that source to $500, and extended it to Juniors as well as Seniors. A Junior can now borrow up to $200, and a Senior may secure up to $300. The Committee in charge of the administration of the National Defense Loan Program has carried out its responsibility in an efficient manner. Dr. Donald D.

Accompanying the growth in enrollment was an increase in the number of faculty from 83 to 105. The position of Dean of Students was added to the administrative staff to coordinate the details of social living and student personal. Curriculum revision, graduate and accreditation were given special attention. As a result, the College has been granted con- studies, tinuing accreditation as a fouryear, degree-granting institution, and a program ot graduate studies leading to the Master of Education degree in either business or elementary education, will get underway in June, 1061. The College has made its first annual contribution to the Bloomsburg Public Library in recognition of services rendered to college students. This amount will increase each year as the number of students increase. The Alumni Loan Fund has been boosted to more than $150,000 by a recent grant in excess of $125,000, and the College has continued to secure and match funds for Na- Page 10 tional Defense Loans to worthy students.

Later in the spring, the Division of Busiits celebrated Education ness thirtieth anniversary.

Lyle, Associate Professor of Special Education, spoke on “The Pros and Cons of Institutional and Public School teaching.” This organization, conceived and developed by the students in the Special Education curriculum, was begun last year. They have due reason to be proud in as much as they are the only National Student Organization of its type in the state. With their own group well orgnaized and running smoothly, the Bloomsburg students went on to advise and initiate the chapter at Pennsylvania State University.

Drinking water standards, set by the United well as for States Public Health Department, have been generally accepted as the standards for water supplies. These stanards apply to bacteriological as well as chemical require- ments. The survey area covered five counties in Pennsylvania and one in New York. Samples of water from springs, dug wells, and drilled wells were tested, but the tests were not confined to water supplies in rural areas; the survey was extended to include several small communities which did not have municipal water companies. There were 1468 samples examined, primarily for bacterial results. A total of 53 percent showed contamination making the water unfit for human consumption or washing of utensils. Isolation of organisms, using different for the media, was accomplished; a great many of the organisms were pathogenic. In many instances, Dr. Kendall pointed out, illness in the family can be attributed directly to the water supply. Bacteriological results are considered in the light of vailable information concerning the sanitary conditions surrounding the source of any particular sample. Precise evaluation of the quality of a water supply can be made only when the results of laboratory examinations of the water are interpreted in the DECEMBER, 1960 the Sunbury chapter of the Bloomsburg State College Alumni at a dinner meeting held in November at the Blue Hill Restaurant.

Their architects scrupulously studied the ruins of the Panatnenaic stadium, restoring it with Daedalian precision.

Faithful to these specifications, the Greeks constructed which circled ancient turning posts placed one STADION apart.

Now we have a definite answer. Pennsylvania must put more of its income into taxes if Education on the Elementary, Secondary, and more particularly on the Higher Education levels is to be developed to meet the needs of increased enrollments of youth. We have heard many times in the last few months that the 1960’s are the decade of decision. If the amount of State revenue is limited, the subsidy of the State to Colleges and universities will have to be made on the basis of the services rendered by the colleges and universities to the youth of the Commonwealth whose parents are voters and taxpayers. The business slide from recession to what may be depression, the international situation, the proposals for Health, Education and Welfare on the National level, the anticipation of the reports of the Governor’s Commission on Education, and the present sessions of both the National Congress and the State Legislature indicate that decisions will have to be made early in this decade if we are to meet some of the problems that now face us. These problems may be understood more clearly if we consider certain aspects concerning financial support of Education in Pennsylvania. First, an understanding must be reached as to the relative claims of colleges and universities for State aid in the form of annual appropriations. There are three kinds of institutions of higher education receiving State subsidy at the present time: (1) State institutions owned, operated, and controlled by the State; (3) State-supported institutions which are not owned and operated by the State; (3) State-aided institutions who receive tax funds in the form of lump sum appropriations ana use them as cney see fit, without subsequent review on the part of the State to determine the uses to which these funds have been put. The only institutions which are owned, operated and controlled by the State are the fourteen state colleges, formerly state 'teachers Colleges, and oefore that state Normal Schools. The State-supportea institution receiving a large proportion of State money is Pennsylvania State university, formerly Pennsylvania State College, and before that the Farmer’s High School. This is the land grant college receiving federal monies, chiefly in the fields of Agriculture and Engineering, ana also State monies for its other educational activities. The State-aided colleges and universities have no legal claim for appropriations, but over a period of time it has become a custom for the State to make appropriations to an ever lengthening list of institutions, among which are the University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, and Temple UniverIn the last session of the Legislature, the Dickinson Law School and sity. Drexel Institute of Technology were added to this list. (Continued on Page 17) THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Vol. LXII, No. April, 1961 I “What quarterly by the Alumni of the State College, Bloomsburg. Pa.

Miss Ranson is now a resident where she moved following her retirement from teach- of Florida, ing six years ago. She is president of the Haviland Club of America and as busy as she has ever been. Recently there was a feature article, with photographs, on Miss Ransom in the All Florida weekly magazine of the Sarasota HeraldTribune. It was kindly sent to us by Mrs. Charles II. Dillon. She had received the article from her daughter, Mrs. William Lonsdale, the former Marjory Dillon, who one of on Miss Ranson is a series under the general article caption of “Florida Personalities.” It was written by Eve Bason and follows: The wag who likes to invent on that hackneyed motto Western TV star would probably suggest this one for Miss Ethel Ranson of Orlando: variations of a Have Haviland, will match.

She mends broken pieces with such delicacy the flaws are almost imperceptible. And she gets orders for everything from teacups into to platters and pitchers from all over the world. A recent one from Saudi Arabia came in the same mail with one from the Virgin Islands. To match a piece Ranson of a set, Miss have a sizeable piece of the broken china. On a small piece the pattern may be indistinct, she explains, and many likes to of the old patterns ilar.

She had a record of never losing a piece ot china that she has packed and shipped!

The exquisite patterns of old Haviland china had always fascinated Miss Ranson, and as a teacher in Pennsylvania she began col- own enjoyAfter retirement, the hobby became an occupation. When she decided to move to Florida, she was overwhelmed to find that her china and glass collection took 14 barrels and 37 boxes. She became an official representative of the Haviland firm when Theodore Haviland, 111, heard about her lecting pieces for her resides in Sarasota. The Interest are very sim- ment. when he was visiting in Florida. Orders for broken cups are most frequent. To meet this demand she has formed a unique method of substitution for the regular cup that is almost fool-proof. If the cup handle is intact, she can cement it to a bullion cup of the same pattern, and presto — there’s a new cup. Since there is little call for the bullion cups today, the supply takes up the slack for the hard-to-find teacups. Where does she get all her china? At auctions, private sales, antique stores, through the grapevine with other collectors, magazine advertisements and individu- who just walk in the front door. During World War II, operations at the Haviland factory in France closed, which made Haviland china owners possessors of heirlooms.

(Continued from Inside Front Cover) Second, would seem that this Commonwealth would have to arrange the relative claims of these three classes of institutions in some preferential it order. Third, a general survey discloses that the relative tions has been changing in the past decade. amount of appropria- Formerly, the per capita appropriation to State Teachers Colleges amounted to twice as much per student as it did to what was then Pennsylvania State College. In more recent years, this two-to-one relationship has been reversed, and in the last Session of the Legislature, Pennsylvania State University received twice as much per student as did the Pennsylvania State Colleges. Fourth, if the length of the list of private institutions receiving public monies continues to grow with the addition of one or two colleges, universities, or professional schools at each Session of the Legislature, in time, the amounts of appropriations for private institutions will exceed the amounts allocated to Pennsylvania State University and Pennsylvania State Colleges. It would seem reasonable that there should be an accountability on the part of the institution and a report to the State as to the uses to which appropriations are put. Fifth, the relative costs to students, whose parents have incomes in the middle economic brackets, should receive consideration, since the State’s chief concern is to provide higher education opportunity for those of its youth whose parents are not able to pay their way. Sixth, the present budget being considered bv the Legislature provides $530 per student per year; the student pavs an additional $212 per year, providing a total of $742 to cover the cost of instruction for each student enrolled in September, 1960. in the fourteen Pennsylvania State Colleges. This amount is not adequate. In 1957-1958. a survey was made of the instructional costs for one year in 268 public colleges and universities in the United States: of these. 96 were Teachers Colleges. The average amount expended was $323 per student. Certainlv, with inflation at work in a four year period, this amount would be expected to reach or exceed $900. Fortyone of the 96 Teachers Colleges, which were used as a basis for the computation resulting in $823 per year, were located in the Middle Atlantic and New England States. Seventh, not made for increased enrollments in September, by at least 10% over September, then the amount of dollars available per student will be even less than $530, which is not adequate to maintain a program of higher education for intending teachers. Therefore, the findings of the Governor’s Commission on Higher Education and Teacher Education are anticipated with keen interest bv all those in higher education, and should be a subject of some thought by graduates who are Alumni of Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges. Eighth, if we are to have additional appropriations for colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, it follows that we shall have to have new taxes; otherwise, the only people who will be able to go to college in the future will be these whose parents come from the higher economic brackets. A democracy cannot continue if it depends on leaders whose basis of selection is their “papa’s pccketbooks.” Unless we keep the ladder of education open for all worthy youth to climb as high as their abilities will permit, we shall have closed the possibilities of growth to the future leaders of this great democracy. Without an educated leadership, America cannot continue long to be the bastion of Democracy and the Hope of the Western World. 1961, 1960, if provision is and most State Colleges will increase President P. S. (D Write, telephone or talk personally with your State Representative or Senator about increasing State appropriations from $530 to $750 per student in State Colleges.

He asked you some questions about what you are going to do with your lives. The commencement speech also challenges you to do something as individuals.

What are you doing to cultivate idiosyncrasies and maintain individuality? Are you behaving in your day by day work in such a way as to strengthen the sense of existence in each pupil? "My charge to you now is apparent. If your principal and other school leaders do not ask you these questions, I charge you to regularly. ask them of yourself Tie them in with some regular activity.

Lauof the bach, member of the class of 1901 and world famous missionary educator, that “we need a new cause. This is to lift the world out of its poverty, ignorance and oppression to the level which God means every man to achieve. This is the cause of causes. It is greater than saving your own soul for it is saving the soul of mankind.” Dr. Laubach spoke at the baccalaureate services before almost 2,000 in the Centennial Gymnasium. Dr. Laubach pointed out Russia and Red China have increased the literacy rate in a comparatively short period of time. He said Russia is as litei’ate as any country in the world. After China became communistic the government adopted the same policy the Russians have used. Every illiterate must study a half hour at night, following a hard day’s work, in both countries perfect alphabets were adopted. Russians can learn to read in a month, he said, and the Chinese can learn to read in three weeks. On our side of the Iron Curtain and Latin America, in Asia, Africa our efforts are feeble. In those areas we are not keeping up with the rising population and we are miles and miles behind the communists. “Here is a cause— the finest in the world— for as many people in the class as possible to go out and teach other people to read so they You are what you dream and what you believe in. You can live your religion and your books. radiate it. “As a doctor studies his materia medica, so you need to study at the feet of the Great Physician.

You are going to help this happen in your community. If you have the world vision you will be the most important member of your community. He urged all the graduates to take the advice that Paul gave to “Whatwhatever is honorable; whatever is just; whatever is pure; whatever is lovely and whatever is gracious.” the Christians in Phillipi: ever is Dr. true; Laubach said: “Do not sit back waiting for doors to open.

He guided the session in the absence of the late Dr. E. II. Nelson, who at that time was hospitalized. The presiding officer told the alumni, “you will see from the report of the treasurer that we are now in big business.” Earl A.

Dr. Laubach was presented by Martin Appleman, Benton, a long time friend of the world figure who did an exceptionally fine job in telling of the great work of this distinguished American. Ap- pleman spoke of Dr. Laubach as being recognized “as one of the outstanding men of this century” and told of the honored graduate’s lifetime of effort “to drive greed, self satisfaction and lack of con- cern for the less fortunate from the temple. He is America’s greatest weapon for peace in the world.” In his response Dr. Laubach spoke of the occasion as “one of the proudest and happiest moments of my life.” Two of his classmates of ’01 were in the auditorium and stood at his request. As he spoke Ire said there came to him “echoes of the past.” He mentioned many of the faculty members of his day and observed that “I have attended some great institutions of learning but 1 never obtained as much in four years at any of them as I received here in a year and a half. I hope this institution has done as much for those now graduating and for the underclassmen and will do as much for those who will attend in the future as it has dons me." Speaking of the perfection in pupils sought by Dean Emeritus Wil- for liam B. Sutliff (ninety-four and not on the campus for the general festivities although a guest at the luncheon of the class of 1921), Prof. Albert, Prof. Wilbur, Prof. Batholomew, Prof. Detweiler and others, he said “I do not think we are demanding enough of our students must see that they are today. always giving their best.” The roll call of classes followed and the meeting then adjourned for the alumni luncheon in the We College Commons. Page 7 GREAT PLANS FOR FUTURE the There are letters now in hands of the Bloomsburg water company and sewage authority inquiring whether facilities in these phases of the community can be provided to care for a Bloomsburg State College student body of 4,800, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president, told members of the alumni. It is estimated that of a student body of this size 3,600 would be and 1,200 commuters. resident Some colleges in the group, he said, are planning to go to 5,400 students. This expansion all de- pends, he emphasized, on what is going to happen in college education in Pennsylvania and in this the legislature has a leading role. The College the hope that we will also president expressed we grow “as in size enhance the quality of our education.” He spoke the of State report which suggests that the Commonwealth should provide college facfor 300,000. In this total it estimated the state college group would have to take care of 60,000. Their total enrollment is now 21,000. Provided this group does take care of the 60,000 and other institutions expand according to estimate, there are still 79,000 yet to be accommodated and they are to be cared for in community colleges which will provide classrooms but no dormitory facilities. ilities is Dr. Andruss spoke of the process of change at the local school. At the present time there is a third of the enrollment cared for on the campus, an equal percentage residing in the town, and the other third commuting. He spoke of the dormitory pro- erything but want other people to pay for it. If we want education we must pay for it and whether we are willing to do this depends on whether we really value the things we say we value. The future of the nation depends on the education of our youth more than any one thing. If we are threatened from without while we are in a state of decay from within our civilization is doomed.” said in most phases of education Pennsylvania is not near the top. The only two parts of the program in which it is among the leaders is in the amount the state provides toward public education and in the length of the school term. Speaking of the growth of the College, he said that every plan that has been made thus far has proven to be too small long before it has been executed. The first, developed in 1941, called for a maximum enrollment of 1,200 and use of only two thirds of a sixty acre campus.

T-Same (Continued Next Issue of Quarterly) THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY DBQ ELNA HARRISON NELSON With the passing of Elna Harrison Nelson, ’ll, an epoch in the history of the Alumni Association of the Bloomsburg State College comes to a sudden and unexpected close. Others must now assume control of the activities of the Association. These are destined to become more and more important in the future of the College. This task will not be an easy one. With the greatly increased funds at the disposal of the Association, and the growing demand for financial assistance, the role of the Association will become greater and greater. Under these circumstances, the leadership of Dr. Nelson will be greatly missed. wish to lay aside the editorial “we”, in order that I may pay due tribute to a friend. friendship dates back to the summei of 1915. when Jack and I met in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I had known him casually at Bloomsburg during the school year of 1910-11, but our acquaintance was not intimate. I had gone to Ann Arbor to attend the summer session and to remain in attendance at the University until graduation. Jack had just completed a year at Dickinson College, and had decided to transfer to the University of Michigan. We lived in the same house until 1917, when Jack received his Bachelor of Arts degree. I still had one semester to go. These Ann Arbor days were pleasant ones, and Jack and I have often talked about them. These common experiences were the first of many bonds that drew us together. I Our Jack went to Highland Park, Michigan, for an interview regarding a teaching position Highland Park High School. Hi made a favorable impression, and was hired for the following year. The Superintendent asked if he know of any one whom he could recommend as a teacher of foreign languages. Jack mentioned my name, and as a result I was invited to come to Highland Park for an interview. This resulted in my being offered a position, to begin with the second semester of the following year. This was the second link in the chain of our friendship. at the When I reported for duty in January, 1918. I took up my residence with Jack and Caroline, who had been married during the summer of 1917. I lived with them for most of the semester, and the friendship grew stronger. In the summer of 1918. Jack and I were both inducted into the Army, and both of us were sent to Camp Lee. Virginia. He was later accepted for Officers’ Training, and I was drawn for special duty and was sent overseas. The war came to an end in time for Jack to return to Highland Park. I did not return to the States until the middle of the summer of 1919. After my return I was married and took my bride to Highland Park to get established for the coming school year. We took over the Nelsons’ apartment while they came East on their vacation. We then lived for several months in downtown Detroit, and when the apartment across the hall from the Nelsons became vacant we moved in, and the two families spent several happy years together. Then Jack decided to go to Harvard to begin his graduate work. After receiving his Master's degree, he accepted a new position in the Liberty High School at Bethlehem. Pennsylvania. The two families were then separated. After several years at Bethlehem. Jack came to Bloomsburg. Two years later. Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, principal at Bloomsburg, asked Jack to recommend someone who could teach foreign languages. Again Jack mentioned my name, and as a result, I moved my family back to Bloomsburg, and our paths came together again. In 1926, I became Editor of the Quarterly when publication was resumed after a silence of several years. In 1937, Jack became Business Manager of the Quarterly, and from that date, he and I worked together on this project. When R. Bruce Albert passed away in 1945. Jack took on the additional duties of President of the Alumni Association. From then until the time of his death, I have sat with him at many meetings of the Board of Directors, been present with him at many branch meetings of the Alumni, and conferred with him many times on Alumni matters. All of these contacts with Dr. Nelson have resulted in a close relationship in personal, family, and business affairs. I therefore wish at this time to express my deep sense of personal loss. Those of us who have worked with him will remember him with affection, gratitude, and admiration as an inspiring teacher and coach, a loyal colleague, and a great alumni leader. With this as our inspiration, the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association will strive to carry on in “the spirit that is Bloomsburg,” of which he was such a shining example.

As part of this plan, Bloomsburg is to have an enrollment of 4,800; of this number 3,600 shall be resident students, and 1,200 day students. As early as 1941 a campus plan was developed for 1,200, using about two-thirds of the present campus of sixty acres. No date was set for reaching this goal, but it was evident shortly after World War II that additional en- rollment would have to be accommodated. The first post-war plan provided for 2,000 students by 1970, within the present campus area; before two years had passed, it was evident that the 2,000 figure would be approached ten years ahead of the planned date. Thereupon, another or third plan was developed providing for 3,000 students, using the full sixty acres, and requiring the purchase of various residential properties lying within the bounds of or adjacent to the campus. The change in the name to Bloomsburg State College by one Session of the Legislature and the change in the function by the following Session, so as to offer curriculums in Arts and Sciences as well as in Teacher Education, made it rather evident that, if Bloomsburg were to grow, additional campus sites would have to be sought. If Bloomsburg is to accommodate 4,800 students by 1970, or as soon as classroom buildings, dormitories, and dining halls can be built and enough faculty employed to instruct this number, it is evident that the campus cannot be less than 100 acres. The present campus can only accommodate 3,000; even then some of the dormitories are four or five stories high. The Legislature, just adjourned, approved the borrowing of money through the General State Authority to construct an Auditorium to seat 2,000 and a Men’s Dormitory This dormitory will have to have some seating arrangements for to accommodate 250. serving at least the evening meal if all the presently housed students are to be fed on campus. At the present time, 860 boarding students are being accommodated in a space that will seat only 720. A sum in excess of $50,000 was also appropriated to plan the new library building. The growth in the curricular offerings in the field of Teacher Education continues; a group from the Department of Public Instruction representing the State Council of Education, will visit us October 17, 1961. to see if we have the faculty and facilities for offering courses leading to the Master’s Degree in the field of Special Education for the Mentally Retarded and Speech Correction. We expect to continue to develop those factors that are necessary for the approval of offering the Master of Education Degree in the fields of English, Social Studies and, possibly, Geography. Meetings are beginning to be scheduled to consider the steps to be taken so that the State Colleges can offer curriculums in the Arts and Sciences, presumably to lead to the Degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Bloomsburg is interested in Arts and Sciences, related Pre-Professional Programs, and the field of Business Administration.

Diehl has consented to write this page, formerly written by the late Dr. Nelson and entitled "Saucered and Blowed.") With an active membership of over 1300. and a potential group of some 5700 additional Bloomsburg graduates, it seems fitting that from time to tune you should be told what goes on in your Association between reunions. For most of our Alumni “between reunions” cover a f.ve year period. It i§ gratifying to note that an increasing number of Alumni are each year returning to the Campus for Class Reunion activities. Since the 1961 Reunion— May 27, your Association’s Board of Directors has held two meetings. We are much aware of the loss of the leadership given to us by Elna H. Nelson. Of the many groups in which he was associated, there is none where his loss is more keenly felt than in our Alumni Association At a Board meeting held on June 12th. we reviewed the financial position of the Association Investments, Operating and Student Loan Funds, and arranged for carrying on. Board member Charles Henrie, ’38, was appointed to serve as Loan Officer, with authority to approve student loan applications. As of this date the outstanding — loans total $29,635. At this meeting action was also taken resulting in College co-operation and assistance in printing and mailing the July. 1961. Nelson Memorial issue of the Quarterly to We are indebted to Editor Howard F. Fenstermaker for this splenall our 7000 alumni. did edition, and to President Harvey A. Andruss, and Public Relations Director, Mr. Boyd F. Buckingham, for their helpful co-operation. Our second Board meeting was held on September 30th. Dr. Andruss and Mr. Buckingham met with us and offered the help of the College in sending another issue of the Quarterly to all Alumni, sometime during this College year. The Board authorized the appointment of two committees. The Finance Committee is to have the duty of handling Investments, Loan payments and all other matters dealing with the financial affairs of the Association. The members of this committee are Charles Henrie, Earl A. Gehrig and Mrs. Charlotte McKechnie. A second committee will be known as the Alumni Branch Committee. It will be responsible for the promotion of alumni branch organizat.ons, and assisting all such groups in their meetings and activities. The members of this committee are Prof. Howard F. Fenstemaker, Miss Elizabeth Hubler and Mrs. Vera Housenick. We trust that our Branch officers will use this committee for any help that it may give to the work and meetings of their Branch. We especially invite Alumni living in an area where there is no active Alumni group, to solicit the help of this committee in forming a Branch organization. Another important action taken at this Board meeting was the selection of Mr. to serve as the Business Manager of the Quarterly, and the employment of his clerical staff to give assistance in its preparation and mailing. The December, 1961, Quarterly will carry news of another very important decision of your Board. In closing may I remind the officers and members of the Class of 1912, that they will observe their 50th GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Reunion next May.

No, Bloomsburg is not going to become a Liberal Arts College. It will continue to be a State College whose primary purpose is the education ana training of teachers, and as such will oe a part of the Public School System of Pennsylvania. However, curriculums in the Arts and Sciences, comprised 01 English Composition and Literature, Foreign Languages (French, Spanish ana German), tne Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), History and Social Sciences (Economics, Government and Sociology), and Mathematics, will form the basis of the offerings leading to a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science Degree. Surveys are being made of the education and experience of the present faculty in terms of the offering of a proposed curriculum, and the demand for teachers in relation to the number of students who should be admitted each year, available funds from both state and student sources and other important considerations belore these new programs are begun. You may recall that this is not a new venture for Bloomsburg, since we had a number of Freshmen sections in Arts and Sciences, who transferred to Pennsylvania State College at the end of the first year. This cooperative program continued for three years from 1947 to 1949. Announcements will be made well in advance of the admission of students, and the increase in the number of Freshmen admitted in Arts and Science curriculums will depend upon available faculty, funds and plant facilities.

Following the lines of a study made in 1949 by Dr. Andruss, some to educators feel that the students for arts and sciences deg- changeover would have students following a general education for their first two years. Commenting on the changeover, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president of the college, said a great deal depends on completion of proposed construction to enlarge the campus. “We are still somewhat in the dark concerning the building of a junior college on the country club site adjoining the college,” Dr. Andruss said. “A good many things on finances,” he add- ed. It is first step in the They would then rees. the desire of the BSC presi- dent to increase enrollment from the present 2,000 students to approximately 3,000 in the next two or three years and extend the student population to 5,000 by 1970. opinion Dr. Andruss is of the that the state will eventually have to supply more financial aid to students seeking higher education. He feels that there are many high school graduates unable to attend college because of the money burden it would place on their families. F. Schuyler, ’24 by is are contingent THE ALUMNI the enrollment to 5,000 students 1970. “A student at a state supported school should not be charged more than one-fourth of the total cost,” he said, adding that at present it is more than one-third. He stated that the General State Authority has earmarked some of the money needed to take over the country club grounds. The purchase has been approved by the authority and if the balance of funds is alloted in the next year it will not be too strenuous a task to build up transfer to libcolleges to obtain their degrees, or remain at state colleges for their final two years to become teachers. This would give added time to the institutions to complete required construction; arrange housing facilities and increase faculties in eral arts order to fulfill their expanded roles. In an Associated Press dispatch by Fred Walters from Harrisburg it was noted that the rising cost of education is perhaps the most important factor behind state plans. To put a young man or woman through college today would cost an average of $925 a year for tuition. But at a state college the tuition (called a “basic fee” because the state cannot legally charge tuition at its colleges) is $200. If the state going to see to it that more get a chance to go to college, then the state-owned colleges are the logical place for it to start. The governor’s committee on education proposed that the colleges prepare to enroll 60,000 students by 1970. is An estimated 27 per cent— 190,000 students— now are attending By college, including part-times. 1970, it is estimated 300,000 young men and be entering college. The that about women will colleges’ assignment provide a quality education for the masses who cannot— and will not be able to by 1970— will be state to Page 1 afford private institutions tuitions. There are, of course, loan and scholarship programs to help cases of acute financial need. And these programs probably will increase over the years. However, most of their assist- ance will be, presumably, for the intellectual elite. That would leave out the qualiyoungster whose I.Q. is not as high and whose family has limited financial means. This is the point where the state colleges enter the picture in an exfied panded role as liberal arts institu- tions. Dr. Charles H. Boehm, state superintendent of public instruction who also serves as chairman of the board of presidents of the state colleges, has cautioned the institutions that much must be done to accomp- lish the transformation. The curriculum needs to be strengthened, especially in the third and fourth years. For some time now, the state colleges have been offering liberal arts courses in the first two years to their teacher-students. This was the result of a movement begun in 1953 to give more emphasis to the general education of the future teacher and less on methods of teaching. In addition to filling out general education courses for the last two years, the colleges also appreciate the fact their present offerings need more breadth. Representatives from the 14 colleges already have been scheduled for a two-day meeting— to discuss with other experts in the field what can be done to strengthen their science and mathematics courses. Improvements also are needs for the faculties. Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester will be, at best, “modest” next construction for new buildings and additions to existing structures, totaling approximately three million dollars, are among the highlights of the developments during the past year. The College, established as an academy in ltt39, continues to serve primary function as a center of culture in the area. Along with this important role, the increase in the number of students, faculty, and non-ins tructional personnel has led the college to ligure promintently in the economic well-being of the town and surrounding comunities. Alumni, returning to the campus for homecoming activities, will find visible evidence of changes that have occurred since their last visit to the “Friendly College.” However, much of what might be termed change and growth are not readily apparent to the casual observer. Increases in enrollment hit a new high in September, 1961, when 1,935 students and 117 faculty members began classes on the campus. In the past decade, enrollment and number of faculty members, has nearly tripled.

The cultural impact of the college within Pennsylvania has been extended to fifty of the sixty-seven counties in the Commonwealdi. Each year, more and more students have come from the Philadelphia and Harrisburg areas along with an increasing number from Columbia, Luzerne, Northumber- land and Schuylkill counties. Conferences and other events at the college also indicate that the influence of the college is being felt ever-widening circles. student teaching centers have been established in Allentown in New and the Bucks County Area to accomodate the growth in enrollment and to provide a greater diversity of professional experiences.

One of the trips associated with Prof. Hartline into focus was brought further a column when we read by Hal Boyle, AP columnist, who mentioned that “You can pep up your meals with a portion of rattlesnake steak, only 200 calories.” This turned thoughts back to the mid-twenties.

These students were compared on li the basis of personality, age, aca- demic averages, number of brothers and sisters, level of father’s education, year in school, and responses to several tests. It was found that personality seemingly has no relationship to seeking help with problems and that perception does. Furthermore, the chances are that if a student is interviewed by a professional counselor, the student will decide to meet with the counselor for the purpose of seeking and working through a solution to his problems.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY INSTITUTIONS AND INDIVIDUALS ONWARD BLOOMSBURG GOES” Recently, in a casual conversation with a Danville lauy, I inquired concerning her grandson wno I anew had graduated from the Danville High School this past June. “Oh,” she said, “he is enrolled at Bloom Normal.” You who read this article will be graduates "The Bioomsourg Normal School,” or “The Bloomsburg State teachers College,” or “The State Conege at Bioomsourg,” depending upon of the time ol your graduation. Some one has said that a better society can be acmeveu by “Narrowing tne gap oetween our meals and our practices,” and that this can be done by bringing about two improvements, nameiy, “Improved Human Benaviour” and “Improved Institutions.” As we think about this we confront the old “egg and chiCKen” question of priority, for improvement in numan behaviour has come about largely through improved institutions, and institutions in turn have been improved, to the degree that the behaviour of good and wise individuals has extended its innuence in bringing aoout this improvement. As one who has been rather close to Bloomsburg lor more than a half century, this change in name is Viewed as an excellent exampie of the adage that “a rose by any other name smells just as sweet.” During these years I have known many of “tne good and wise individuals” who have asserted their influence in fulfilling the truth of the statement in our Alma Mater Song, that "Onward Bloomsburg Goes.” has also been my privilege to work with the individual product of the Instituto have thus seen eviuence of improved human benaviour as manifested in tne classroom and in puonc relations.

Both programs lead to the Master of Education degree. Bloomsburg Since June, 1961, of has been offering a program graduate studies leading to the Master’s degree in either business Fiftyor elementary education. seven students attended graduate classes during the 1961 summer sessions. The affirmative action taken by State Council of Education was announced in a letter from Dr. Harold F. Alderfer, secretary, State Council of Education, to Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president of the College, and climaxes twentyfive years of development in this phase of teacher education. The special education program had its roots established on a limited basis in 1937, shortly after the Dr. Andruss became dean of instruction, when the State Council or Education designated Bloomsburg as a center for the training teachers of special classes. At that time, Bloomsburg was authorized to offer courses meeting the standards developed by the State Council of Education. From 1937 to 1956, special education classes at the College were developed as variants to the elementary and secondary education curriculums with teachers of special classes certified to teach in either elementary or secondary schools. In 1956, public interest in special education led to legislation and the passage of Act which 429 mandated special class programs and salaries for special education of teachers. In the year that followed, Dr. Andruss created the Division of Special Education, and appointed Dr. Donald F. Maietta as the first Director. The college curriculum was revised to strengthen studentteaching programs in speech and hearing therapy, as well as education for the mentally retarded. APRIL, 1962 A county plan of student teaching was developed in by 1958 Bloomsburg State College in conjunction with Lycoming and Schuylkill Counties. A cooperative program for student teachers was Selinsgrove developed with the State School and Hospital, these programs were the first of their type to be developed by any State College in Pennsylvania and were publicized in a Special Education Bulletin.

Individualized reading instrucfeature tion was integrated as a of the special program on campus in 1960. One of the highlights of the year was the initiation, by the proCollege, of new curriculum grams in special education leading to a single comprehensive certificate in each special field. Each a of these certificates leads to for Bachelor of Science degree teachers of the educable mentally the retarded or for teachers of speech and hearing handicapped.

Other items, including money spent by parents and other visitors, by the College Commons, by the Husky Lounge and Snack Bar, by student organizations and activities, and by contracts for supplies and repairs, will raise the total to nearly two and one-half million dollars The pattern nomic growth ($2,500,000.) of cultural and ecois expected to con- tinue during the present decade. Of primary importance to this continued growth is the construction of additional classroom buildings; dormitories, an auditorium to seat 2,000; a library, house and athletic large heating plant fields, a field and a Plans for these buildings are included in a proposal prepared by an architectural firm with the cooperation of President Harvey A. Andruss and the Board of Trustees. Progress in this direction is noted in that architects’ plans for two new dormitories and a doubling of the capacity of the heating plant are about to be submitted for bids. At the present time, with an enrollment of slightly more than 1,900 students, the College employes 118 full-time and 2 parttime faculty members, and 105 non-instructional employees.

Although the college has earned stature as an institution of culture and higher learning, its economic importance to residents of this area cannot go unnoticed. Ac- cording to statistics compiled re- cently, the 1937 students, enrolled from September, 1961, to May 31, 1962, will spend $20.88 in the town each week. During the thirty-six weeks of the college year, this amounts to a total of $751,500. Of this amount, there are 565 students living in town which spend an average of $14.13 each week for room, food and incidentals. There are 600 students living in dormitories on campus who spend an average of 7.50 per week items such as dry cleaning, medical service, gas and oil, incidentals, etc., amounting to $4,950 per week. Six hundred studeach ents drive to Bloomsburg for their homes within a Conservatively, 40-mile radius. these people spend an average of $3.00 per week during the time they are in Bloomsburg. Since the College cannot build dormitories fast enough to accomodate the increases in enrollment, it will be necessary for some years to come to house from 400 to 600 students in the Town of Bloomsburg each day from year. The College will continue to sponsor annual events such as the Education Conference; the High School Business Education Conference; the Sales Bally; the FashShow; Parent’s Day; the bas- ion tournament; the wrestling tournament and Homecoming and ketball Each of these events brings from 500 to 3,000 people to the community for a day or more. These visitors have a need for food and housing, as well as a need to shop for other items during those visits. Following a practice of many the years, College Community will continue to contribute to organizations and institutions such as the Civic Music Association, the Bloomsburg Hospital, the Ambulance Association, and the Town Library. The annual contribution to the Civic Music Association is $1500, half or more of the total budget of the group.

The youth of Pennsylvania in eighteen to twenty-one year ago group, who attend colleges and universities, are less than the national average by at least five per cent. The present average in the United States is approximately 40 per cent of the students in that age group; Pennsylvania is less than 35 per cent while some states, notably Utah, New York and California, have 50 per cent or more of their eighteen to twentyone year old students attending the colleges and universities. In making the master plan for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the fourteen State Colleges will need to expand in the directions that have not previously been supplied by existing institutions. Since many students are now attending State Colleges, presumably to become teachers, because the State Colleges are the only low-cost institutions, either within the range of the pocketbook or their parents or are so geographically located that a student may attend without leaving Page 8 boards ot trustees, will vote an increase in student tees of a like amount.

Going over some old records we noted that the old Bloomsburg teams that did the best always had one tall lad.

The 1923-24 team had Joe Schwab, a product of Hanover Township High and now in charge of the the guidance program for public schools in the Detroit area. The others were Louis Lerda, now in charge of education for Standard Oil of New Jersey; Arch Turner, Joe Kozlusky and the late George Sack.

(You will enjoy the Alumni Day luncheon there.) Have you seen the Library? The new Men’s — Dormitory? The new Sutliff (Classroom) Building- Perhaps your “separation” has been so long that you haven’t seen the new Long Porch, or the new entrance where the fountain used to be? The latest change will be seen in the new seats in t.he Auditorium. This is a “separation” that you will really appreciate as you sit in one of them, as you attend the General Alumni Meeting at 10:30 o’clock on Saturday morning. May 26th — Over 1900 young men and women are enrolled in your College this year. “They are as you were then,” with ambitions, interests and problems. As they graduate and leave Bioomsburg, their College training and background will enable them to better meet life’s problems, just as in your case, and mine. now This issue of The Quarterly carries the news and the challenge of the creation of the Elna H. Nelson Memorial Fund. The purpose of this memorial is not to erect a monument, or to place a bronze tablet, or to paint a picture, but to create a LIVING in honor of one of Bioomsburg’ s most loyal alumni, outstanding teacher and dynamic leader. Many of you knew him as Dr. Nelson the teacher; others knew him as “Jack,” our co-worker in various activities and associations. All of us knew him as a true friend. MEMORIAL The Nelson Memorial will help to continue the granting of Loans and Scholarships worthy students, a project to which Dr. Nelson devoted much time and effort. We trust that as individuals and Classes you will respond generously in the establishment of this Nelson Memorial Fund. to On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association, wishes for a happy and enjoyable Reunion.

The bachelor’s degree in the Humanities or in the Natural Sciences (including mathematics) or in the Social Sciences (including history) marks the completion of four years of study in one of three curriculums. — In England, only three years of post-sec- ondary study and in most Latin-American countries (except Brazil, Peru, and Chile) only graduation from the secondary school is required for the conferring of the bachelor’s or first degree. — Bloomsburg first an Academy, then Literary Institute, State Normal School, State Te ach ers College, now becomes a State College in fact. Graduate curriculums leading to the degree of Master of Education will be offered in: Business Education; Elementary Education; Special Education for Mentally Retarded; Speech Correction; Secondary Education (approval pending) in English and Social Studies (including geography); on weekends, evenings, and during summer sessions. The date for accepting students for admission to the arts and sciences or liberal arts programs in the (1) Humanities, (2) Natural Sciences, or (3) Social Sciences will be announced as soon as plans are matured. No degrees, either A.B. or B A. may be conferred before 1964. Present faculty, numbering 119, includes 53 who hold degrees in the Arts and Sciences and 35 who have had a total of 170 years of teaching experience in liberal arts institutions. being given to the adoption of a basic curriculum for all students to include English, Speech, Art, Music, one of three foreign languages, one of three or more laboratory sciences, one of three or more social sciences and one elective course in the third and fourth semesters.

More recently, committees of faculty, the administration, and the faculty at large have been developing curriculum patterns to preserve the quality of teacher education and to offer sound education in the Arts and Sciences for those who may not be interested in or fitted for the teaching profession. Bloomsburg, now a State College with a graduate school, stands on the threshold of an era of expansion which offers challenges for greater service to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through educating its future teachers and citizens.

In athletics, as in everything else, the Dean lived in the present. He was happy to talk about the sports achievements of teams of "Old Normal” but usually would guide the conversation so that it was soon focused on the teams of the present and their prospects for the future. His mind remained clear to the end; that was most evident in the recorded message to the alumni. He was born in Stillwater but as an infant of six weeks was taken by the family to Town Line in Huntington Valley where he spent youth. In some of his last public remarks he paid tribute to the faculty of the Old Huntington Mills Academy, stressing the fact that the head of the institution was a Harvard graduate.

The Dean in a charming response observed "the most delightful ting in the world, when you reach mature age, is to know you have friends who remember you.

Participating in the tribute to Dean Sutliff were Dr. Thomas P. North, Brookville, who succeeded Dean Sutliff; Dr. E. H. Nelson, a former member of the faculty and alumni president; Dr. Andruss and Edward F. Schuyler. Dr. Andruss in his comments read two of the Dean’s poems concerning the tower on Carver Hall and the old wooden bridge which connected Carver and Noetling Halls.

And to add further speed to the period, his activities were in the field of service to others. The Dean, who still walks with firm step, places his pinochle bid in a firm voice and discusses with equal ability affairs of the present and events of the past, hasn’t changed much in the twenty years since his retirement from the faculty at the local Teachers College. He’s just been too busy. There were some splendid tributes paid him at a dinner tendered by the College recently upon the occasion of his most recent birthday anniversary. What made the evening so fine was that the tributes were most deserved. The ones we liked and which the story of the Dean’s productive life best were those of his contributions to the College after retirement. He’s always been a fellow to go that extra mile.

During the formal program Dr. Andruss took occasion to mention the close relationship between the Teachers College of Bloomsburg and Indiana, that being prompted by the presence at the ceremonies of two representatives of Indiana.

With the 109 who returnyear, we now have a professional family of 127 members. This is one of the evidences of the growth just ed from last of our College. may A few statistics of students, and the serve to emphasize this growth in terms of the of dollars in the college budget. number of faculty members, the number number In 1952 there were 59 faculty members; five years later, 60 members; and today, 1962, there are 127 faculty members. Ten years ago, there were 771 students; five years ago, 1187, and today more than 2,000 students will begin coming to the campus. The budget figures, including state subsidies and local fees collected directly from the students, show a similar growth. In 1952, the budget was $720,000: five years later, it was $1,062,000; and this year, 1962, our budget will exceed $2,000,000. Statiscally, this college is a growing institution. Suppose we look at the growth and faculty salary during this same ten-year period. Selecting members at random we find the salaries as follows: Assistant Professor Associate Professor Professor Since these faculty members were selected at random, 1952 $4,800 4,900 5,000 it is 1957 $6,300 6,700 6,900 possible that they three faculty 1962 $8,000 8,250 9,300 may not be typical or average. however, to note that the lowest increase in salary rank was 66-2/3%, and the average increase these ten years was 74%, while the highest increase in any rank was 86% over the ten-year period. It is interesting, in Administrative Reorganization The President of the College is somewhat startled to note that ten years ago we had a relatively small adminwhich did not include the heads of the departments. There was a president, three deans, and a director of business education. Since that time, the director of elementary education, secondary education, and special education have become a part of the instructional cabinet of the President, and the academic council consisting of ten department heads, reflect the general growth in administrative positions.

It is necessary to go back only survey the beginning of the new programs of instruction. A graduate program was begun leading to the degree of the Master of Education in the field of business education, elementary education, special education for the mentally retarded and speech correction ist, with approval in the fields of English and Social Studies pending; the inauguration of the first separate undergraduate division of special education for the mentally retarded and speech correctionists in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and more recently the approval of an arts and science program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Out of 119 faculty members of last year, 53 held one or more liberal arts degrees and 35 have a total of 170 years of teaching experience in liberal arts colleges. five years to 1957 to These have not grown overnight. We have reached the present stage of development because interminable hours have been spent by the administration and the faculty. No group has worked more diligently over the past decade than the Graduate Council meeting regularly, keeping extensive minutes and changing the graduate programs as necessity demanded. Many other similar hard-working faculty groups could be cited if the time and space permitted. In the last decade, the library accessions have doubled, and the staff has been increased 250%; that is, from two to five librarians. We now have a staff of two faculty and a secretary in the Audio-Visual Library. It has taken hours and hours of labor to prepare book lists, to process the orders and to secure the necessary equipment to house ones purchased before they could be put into use. In the last half decade construction has been completed in the form of dining room, one men’s dormitory, and an extension to the heating plant, while more than $5,000,000 have been appropriated for the construction of two women’s dormitories, a second men’s dormitory, and an auditorium to house 2,000. How was this accomplished? Only by extra hours of hard work by the administration and faculty staff supported by non-instructional personnel. It is not often that those who plan a building can look forward to the day when they can see it put into use. Yet, many of us have this opportunity today. This is one of the great and rewarding experiences of being a part of a growing college. — ^2? THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY September, 1962 No. 3 Vol. LXIII, NEW MEMBERS OF FACULTY &?s" .

Today these are the big sports on the hill. They are the ones which draw the crowds or in which success in recent years, such as in track, is starting to win back student interest and general fan interest.

There were at two more weeks, more likly which to play then. The commencement was in the early least three in part of June. Now it is in May and usually before Memorial Day. Then the concluding game of the year was Alumni Day— in fact it was the sports feature of the graduate festivities-dmt now the curtain rings down about two weeks before commencement. The schedule for next year closes on May 15. There are ten dates on this schedule and it is likely that means more than 10 games for the Colare becoming practical. they meet they often play double headers and that is likely to be the program followed next leges When Baseball For years one of the big sports on the hill was baseball.

Andruss asked the question "What did your son or daughter bring to college?” It cannot be expected that the college in four years can change greatly the attitudes developed during the pre- ceding eighteen years. However, the President of the College and the parents of students have one common development of youth and the hope that they will be able to teach and lead the oncoming generation. interest, the The residence DIRECTOR OF FIRM George of one-third of the college population in the town bloomsburg raises the question, Do those who live in town have of many an opportunities for growth live in the dormitory?” This depends entirely on the homes in which they live. Many of them provide a better atmosphere for studying and developing of living habits do than crowded dormitories. as those to who Parents can encourage students, attend class regularly and take part in extra-curricular activities which are so necessary for intending teachers. In discussing the reasons for going to college, several common answers were given.

Thus did Doctor Andruss counsel the parents of some 500 or 600 Freshmen entering students, many of whom had previously had an opportunity to meet in small groups at the time their sons and daughters were completing their ple of Among the subconscious reasons never expressed in words is that a college-going student will raise the social status of the family, or the student goes because the nei- ghbor boy or girl is going. “What are colleges for?” is another question. This is a challenge to the educator. Colleges are for the housing, feeding, supervising of social activities of young people, but most of all for the development of the mind. Therefore, it means there must be good teaching and there must be serious study on the part of students. Letters from home can be the cause of discouragement and contribute to students.

The veteran teacher could serve about one more year under the present retirement system rules. However her health has not been too robust lately. Acting upon the advice of her doctor, friends and many of her students parents to “relax and take things easier,” Miss Evans has decided to conclude formally what has been to her a most rewarding and satisfying experience. She submitted her formal request for retirement July 13. In addition to having earned the title of “a good teacher” in the hearts and minds of hundreds of students and their parents, Miss Evans is one of the "old-school” teachers who “dreaded to see the weekends roll honorable around.” In conversations with the dedicated teacher, it was noted that she did not, at any time, refer to her young charges as “the kids.” In speaking of her warm, reciprocal relationship with her young friends over the years, Miss Evans repeatedly used the term, “my the children,” “our students” or "pupils in our building.” The inference was marked and thinks the persistent, — she of Till'] ALUMNI QUARTERLY youngsters in her charge as indivEven in iduals, as personages. generalizing, as she drew on a full storehouse of memories, there was Somehow, Miss no “grouping”. scaled to the understanding and the pleasure of the sixth graders.

When the elementary schools taught “departmental work,” her assignment was to teach arithmetic. She is retiring as the sixth grade teacher in Hamilton School.
