September, 1963, will see the time of the admission of the first Arts and Science freshman. One-hundred twenty young people will form four sections or classes. For more than 40 years, Bloomsburg has been an institution educating teachers This one certified for service in the schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. function has limited its ability to serve the youth of Pennsylvania and has excluded many from the opportunity of attending college while living at home or from attending college at all because they were not abie to pay the fees charged by private institutions. Realizing the inability of the College Entrance Examinations, generally called the College Boards, to serve as the sole and final basis for admission, Bloomsburg will continue an experiment begun last year. One hundred or more “trial” freshmen will be admitted to the regular six-weex summer session to take two courses one in English and the other in mathematics, which, if completed with average grades, will admit these freshmen to the first semester, beginning in September. Cast year’s admission was offered to approximately 60, 50 of whom showed up for classes in the summer session. More than 40 completed their summer work and 34 returned to enroll in — September. Recently a committee representing the Middle States Association visited the campus determine th ability of the College to begin to offr courses leading to the Master’s Degree for teachers of English and Social Studies, including Geography. We have reason to believe that candidates to (1) take graduate courses leading to permanent certificate and/or (2) become candidates for the Master’s Degree will be admitted in either the summer session or in the fall semster of 1903. to Total enrollments will be fixed at a figure not to exceed a 25 per cent increase in and construction will be begun on two women’s dormitories to accommodate 500, a men’s dormitory to accommodate 300 and an auditorium to seat 2,000 during the coming year. the next two years Further information regarding the development of a second campus on the Country Club site will be released as soon as the legislature has completed its deliberations, and the Governor has signed certain bills, which are now in the process of being drawn Or considered. In the meantime, you will please understand that these are plans being made for Bloomsburg rather than prophesies of what will happen in the future at your alma mater.

Then you head south, knowing that in a day or two it will be much warmer. Indeed, on the second day a few brave souls will appear in shorts to take advantage of the sun. Another day there is more sun, water in the swimming pool, deck games and the like. Then, perhaps, you will dock at Nassau or Jamaica and on to the shopper’s paradise of the western hemisphere, Curacao.

This was in 1776, and remember that Longfellow describes an event of a year earlier in these words: may “Listen, my lifetime, above and beyond that of a high school graduate, is a matter for speculation and your efforts to produce. A man was in a city walking across a park and he knew there was a mental institution nearby, as well as a college. He stopped to inquire of a person working in the park which way it was to the college. The man, who was a patient of the mental institution close by, pointed across the park to the college and then observed to the questioner, “You know, I belong to this other state institution, but you have to show improvement to get out!” In spite of this seeming slur on the college, I am sure that you have made great progress to arrive at this day in your life.

Most of new them were about money— or about — buildings or about new curriculum offerings, degrees, curriculums— and some about the increase in student fees. The President of the College is an execuand knows the loneliness of administrafor there comes a time of decision, despite all the counsel from associates from above and oelow; and it is he who says “Yes” and “No.” He can’t afford to make too many tive tion, errors in judgment, whether it be in the selection of new faculty, the kind of expenditures in the budget, the appropriation requests sent to the legislature, or the need for the revival of alumni interest and support. Now I want to talk about the Alumni Association. One time we had one of the largest memberships, percentage-wise, in the then State Teachers Colleges. That is to say, out of a file of 5,000 or 6,000 active addresses, we had about 1,000 to 1,500 members. With the passage of time and until the last year the figure has been about the same, regardless of graduating 300 or 400 students a year. In other words, by merely maintaining the same number of members, we have ground. lost However, with the reorganization of the Alumni Association, the changing of the By-Laws, and the increase in the number of directors, it is hoped that we shall be able to contact all graduates on a more frequent basis than once in five years.

These are changing times and the things that were planned thirty years ago need and certain adjustments made to keep pace with the future. to be reviewed It has been evident for many, many years that the number of teachers who are able to attend Alumni Day, held in the latter part of May, has been decreasing. In fact, most of the people in attendance are not teachers. Therefore, Alumni Day needs to be rescheduled in terms of increased attendance at a time when College Facilities are available. It is now time, and I believe we are about ready, to have a development Alumni Association comparable to the growth of the College. of the sure you will do your part for this Quarterly goes to those who are Members Alumni Association.

SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN TO FOREIGN STUDENT A native of either Puerto Rico, Hawaii or Guam will be enrolled nevt Fall at BSC as a candidate for the bachelors degree in education. This program of admitting an American student of foreign origin on a four year scholarship evolved from the original idea of an international student program. Various reasons such as language, ethnic customs, and passport barriers caused the International Committee (a new standing committee of CGA) to limit the program to American citizens. This student will then be selected on the same academic standards as regular students. After meeting the admissions standards and the approval of the International Committee, the prospective student will be recommended to the Scholarship Committee for award of the four year scholarship. This scholarship is being formed from contributions of community groups, college alumni, institutional organizations, corporations and individual support. This scholarship will provide for the basic fee, housing fee, activities fee, and books and supplies. Contributions thus far have been received from ARA Slater Food Service, Bloomsburg Lions Club, Memorial Elementary PTA, Bloomsburg Junior Womens Club, BSC Alumni Association, Benjamin Franklin PTA, Kappa Delta Phi Pi, BSC student PSEA, and Pi. Other organizations and individuals have also pledged their support. Myles Anderson, faculty coordinator of this program, pointed out that all contributions will be appreciated.

Increases in enrollment and in the number of faculty and non-instructional employees, additions to existing buildings, the beginning of construction of new buildings, completion of architect's plans for other new buildings, the purchase of equipment for instructional purposes, increased alumni activity, purchase of additional land area, and an expansion of curriculum offerings are highlights of the 1962-1963 college year. The many aspects of growth at Bloomsburg State College, during the past year and the one that lies ahead, reflect the careful planning and vision of President Harvey A. Andruss and the Board of Trustees. For the fourth consecutive year, the College expects to bring nearly $2,000,000 into the Bloomsburg area in terms of salaries and wages, and money spent locally by students living in dormitories, students living in the town of Blooms- burg and students who commute to the campus each day from their homes. Additional sums spent by parents and other visitors by the College Commons, by the Husky Lounge and Snack Bar, by studactivities, ent organizations and and on contracts for supplies and repairs will raise the total to $2,- 500,000. With a total enrollment of more than undergraduate and 2,000 the College graduate students, provides employment for 127 fulltime faculty members, 122 nonand 98 instruetional employees, part-time student employees. The present number of students and faculty is three times as great as ten years ago, and, in 1962, summer sessions attracted more summer employment oppor- ius tructional both faculty and nonemployees. The continued development of the graduate program leading to the Master of Education degree in Elementary, or either Business, Special Education and authorizations to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and the Humanities added new milestones to the cultural history of an institution which is nearing its 125th anniversary. During 1963, approval sought be will grant the Master’s degree in Education in the fields of Social Studies and English; the 'Arts and Science programs are expected to get underway with the beginning of the Fall term in September, 1963. The latter program climaxes years of curriculum study and revision as well as careful efforts to secure faculty members who have earned Liberal Arts degrees and have had teaching experience in Liberal Arts colleges. to The expansion of curriculum of- ferings will provide new and tional opportunities in higher addi- edu- cation for students in the Bloomsburg area and the Commonwealth. The college will continue to sponsor annual events which have interest and value to residents of the Bloomsburg area and the Commonwealth. These include the Education Conference, the High School Business Education Conference, Parent’s Day, Homecoming, Alumni Day and national and state-wide athletic tournaments. Community Activities Fees, paid by students and faculty to support cultural programs, recreation opportunities and both intercollegiate and intramural athletic activities, exceed $100,000 this year. All varsity sports contests and cultural programs are open to the public at no charge or at a nominal charge.

A sabbatical year is a term which has in colleges and universities been adopted for a period of freedom from academic duties. In 1962 the legislature passed a law which entitled faculty members to take leaves-of-absence of one semester or one year in length after ten years of satisfactory service, for the purpose of travel, pursuance of graduate work, restoration of health, or any other reason that seemed to be appropriate when recommended by the President of the College, and approved by the Board of Trustees and the State Superintendent. Some years later, this sabbatical leave-of-absence policy was extended to the Presidents of State Colleges. This year two members of our faculty, the Chairman of the English Department, Dr. Cecil C. Seronsy, is touring Europe and expects to return to the Huntington Library in California, near Los Angeles, to do research work on a grant which will enable him to continue his study of Samuel Daniel, a literary progenitor of Shakespeare. Our Director of Public Relations, Mr. Boyd F. Buckingham, will spend a year at Pennsylvania State College, pursuing graduate study toward the Doctor’s Degree. The President of the College is also taking a leave-of-absence of one semesduring the college year 1863-1964 to travel to the Orient and return to the East Coast by way of the Panama Canal. His last leave-of-absence was for six months in the year of 1945, when he was designated by the Secretary of War to help organize the First American Army University in Shrivenham, Berkshire, England. ter Doctor and Mrs. Andruss will travel to the West Coast, visiting come friends and campuses of colleges and universities, and sail from San Francisco for Japan, where they expect to see some Bloomsburg Alumni. From Japan, they will proceed to Hong Kong, Manila and Bangkok, returning to the West Coast early in December. The designation of Bloomsburg as the State College to build up library and other cultural sources on China has had something to do with the choice of the itinerary to be followed by the President of the College on his sabbatical leave. At the present time, there are two Hawaiian students of Oriental ancestry attending Bloomsburg, one on a specific scholarship grant made possible through interested the contributions of the Community Government Association and Alumni.

However, expected that those if demit is who teach shall, as a result of their teaching, wield a direct influence upon the patterns of thinking and acting of those whom they teach, then it would be virtually impossible in 1963 to over-emphasize the deeply significant the contributions of teacher to the kind of world in which our children are destined to live.

The answer is obvious and the responsible role of the one who teaches apparent. This venture, teaching children (or grown ups), upon which you are about to embark, is not one to be ordered into casually— the stakes, for those who must learn from you, are too high for the teacher to be less than dead serious. This is what is Commissioned of Education Francis Keppel had in mind when he said, “Most of us feel that education is important, but few believe U. S.

The aim is to whom we teach develop to the full not only his intellectual powers but his moral and spiritual resources as well. It is relatively easy, and not all uncommon, to find a teacher emphasizing intellectual prowess without regards to moral or ethical considerations and the outcome, too often, is the sharp operator who literally cheats the eyes out of his customers and who will, if the occasion seems to require it, escort his teacher to the poorhouse or introduce him to the hangman; and the reverse is equally likely; when a distorted concept of relative values results on the part of a confirmed do-gooder, in persistent and vigorous beating of the devil and all his minions while arithmetic and grammar die a slow death from chronic neglect. iieip this Certainly learning for learning’s not enough.

In this democratic society which undertakes, as a means of implementing some of its most basic beliefs, to provide education which the optimum development of each individual, regardless of his kind or level of ability, educational offerings must be highly diverse, as diverse, indeed, as the needs and abilities of the individuals to be educated.

Enrollment in the course was limited to in-service teachers and recent college graduates. The purpose of the Workshop was to acquaint teachers with the materials, philosophy, and procedures developed by the Physical Science Study Comcial in the mittee. It is hoped that those who summer workshop Bloomsburg will use the new enrolled in the at philosophy, materials and procedures when they returned to their own high school classrooms. The Physical Science Study Committee produced inter-related laboratory experiments courses in secondary school physics. The material used :n the course is organized around four basic concepts including the Universe, Optics and Waves, Mechanics and Electricity, and Modcexts, films, and tests for em Physics. Herbert Reichard, who taught the course, explained that the curriculum was less topical in character than most high school courses. This allowed a more penetrating analysis of areas which contribute most heavily to an unci erstanding of the atomic picture Prof. of the universe. Laboratory work was an integral part of the course, and, in many instances it was the primary learning course. While students cannot recapitulate all the discoveries of physics, the lab experiences were designed to give them an opportunity for personal study. Daily work during the six-week session included lectures on text material, class discussions of problems and theory, selected P.S.S.C. films, and laboratory experiences. Doubleday and Company, publishers, made available a complete set of their science series textbooks w luch have been developed as supplementary reading for use with the P.S.S.C. program.

REMEMBER BLOOMSBURG About twenty years ago— when the enrollment was around 7(X)— the Alumni Association put on a drive to build up the student loan fund. Now we have 2000 students on campus and plans are being made for 3000. The late Mary McNinch provided a tremendous boost to the loan fund by making a bequest in her will of over $100,000 to the Alumni Association Loan Fund. At the present time we are loaning over $16,000 a year to needy students. The need to build up this fund is pressing. What better way to remember your Alma Mater than to make a gift to the Student Loan Fund? This can be done in your will by adding the following sentence: “I hereby give and bequeath to the Alumni Association of Dollars (or a Bloomsburg State College Inc. the sum of fraction of the estate) to be used for loans to needy students or student scholarships.” Page 18 Bit- ner III, formerly of Harrisburg, as superintendent of the Glen Falls, N.

Page 5 LISTS SOME REASONS FOLKS GO TO COLLEGES Why individuals go to college, formed the basis of an interesting and thought provoking message by Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president of Bloomsburg State College, in an address before parents of freshmen recently.

Quotations from the distinguished British Philosopher-Scientist, Professor J. B. S. Haldane, indicates that education cannot proceed on the assumption that all men have equal abilities. The International Congress in Genetics in Geneva was startled somewhat by argument against the assumption that all that is necessary to bring an emerging nation of backward people to full civilized estate is education and training, he said. "Education cannot and should not attempt to equalize inherent genetics or inborn inequalities. We can insist upon the equal rights of all of us as human and beings, the same time recognize that Mickey Mantle and a college professor are unequal in their natural endowments. “The best we can do in public education is to provide each white child and each negro child with at and the other is inferior.

There was one thing in the book, however, that was not surprising. It was dedicated to his BSC coach and fast friend, the late Dr. E. H. Nelson. In this turbulent world there isn’t too much you can bank on but we would have wagered most anything that if Danny ever wrote a book on baseball it would have a dedication such as this one has. It follows: “Dedicated to Dr. E. H. Nelson, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. My college coach, whose faith in me inspired and guided me through my baseball career. It is with his personal example in mind that I undertake the coaching of others, with the hope that these others will help perpetuate his ideals of coaching.” We once heard Pee Wee Reese say that one of the best places vetto erans of the majors, qualified coach, can spend their post-playing years if they desire to help baseball is in college coaching.

He has produced 5 all-American players and in 1962 received the Helms Addetic Association Hall of Fame Award.” NCAA The book has chapters on base- training and first aid, conditioning, team drills, batting, bunting, pitching, general catching, ball baseman, second baseman, shortstop, third baseman, outfield and base running drills.

President’s Convocation of the second semester, Dr. llarvey A. Andruss, Bloomsburg State President of College, stated that while the students of Bloomsburg State College are preparing to be teachers and are preparing for other professions or to eventually raise families, students in colleges of other nations are looking to other countries for help. In the at the beginning fie indicated that interesting to note that many of the students of the University of Panama are zo to 30 years old, part-time students who hold down jobs while getting their education and sometimes travel many miles daily just to attend school. it is In amplifying the theme of his speech 'What Can We Learn Horn Panama,” given at Centennial Gymnasium, Dr. Andruss frequently admitted, “I don’t think vve have learned anything yet.” He pointed out that the negotiations between United States and Panama have bogged down and may take sometime to iron out He didn't believe the key to the solution is the rewriting of the 1903 Treaty, but we should lean towards the following goals: (1) Not to lump all the Lentral and South American countries together as a unit but consider them separately each with its it the situation. own problems; (2) we must have more Americans that do more traveling, more diplomats who are multi-linguists to be able to understand other countries’ problems and more readily help with their solutions; (3) the United States is going to have to stop handing out foreign aid the way we have been, thus stop building up our economy by dumping our surpluses on other nations in the form of foreign aid. "When you have to choose between principles and popularity, 1 11 take principle” Dr. Andruss continued. This principle must be a result of diplomacy that earns the respect of all concerned. Dr. Andruss spoke of the complicated political structure of Pan- APRIL, 1964 ama that embraces some 23 politiand has 7 presidential cal parties candidates in a election year. He implied that the extremists in Panama want the Canal taken over by Panama, as the Suez Canal was taken over by Egypt in recent years. He further pointed out that the initial controversy over the flag raising incident had nationalistic overtones, but a day or so after the rioting, communistic direction was evident. An interesting fact, he stated, is that there are approximately ^0 professors at the University of Panama willing to stand up and be counted as communists. Dr. Andruss related the following rather harrowing experience on me opening day of the rioting while staying at the El Panama Hilton Hotel. He and Mrs. Andruss were having dinner on the other side of Panama City from the hotel in a restaurant where an ex-rresident of Panama was having a special dinner from over 100 guests.

Olympus, the flame of which was kept forever alive. One of the greatest honors a young man could have was the privilege of carrying this torch on a portion of its long journey. athletic events. “You who are graduating today have been given the privilege and honor of carrying forth another type of torch. And while the flame is different, the honor and responsibility are even greater. The fire is that of knowledge, of intellectual curiosity, of wisdom, kindled by thousands of men and women before your time, kept burning by thousands of educational institutions including most specifically your own Alma Mater, nurt- ured by your family, your friends, and by your own personal inner motivation. “Today is one of the most signifiin your entire lifetime, moments and I am privileged to have the opportunity to share it with you.

While in one sense it is an ending in a larger sense it is a beginning, for you, who sit here today, on the brink of maturity, having been caught up in the excitement which comes with seeking knowledge. The sheepskin you receive should be more than just written evidence of the completion of your academic course it should be a spur, a stimulus, an exhortation. — JULY, 1964 “Emerson once said, measured by the angle my looks at things.’ “The comparative peace and tranquility of our own community should not blind us to the potential civil ex- plosion festering the racial clashes in various parts of the United States.

Use this growth to perceive accurately all facts. You will spend the rest of your life sorting the vital and useable from the fringe material. “When the first American pioneers started the western movement they loaded the covered wagons to utmost Every inch of space was capacity. piled with trunks, chairs, bedsteads, and all the essentials of homemaking.

Decision making is seldom easy. It has been difficult since you, the first time someone asked “Will it be chocolate or strawberry”, through “Do you take this woman to and be”, into “Which job shall I take” and “What shall I do with my life”. Added years do not ease the demands of decisions. While it is true that in decision making, for as we mature we become more aware of the responsibility which follows decision. “When you decided to attend college, you decided to live by the rules of this institution. When you registered in a particular course, you decided to pursue that subject diligently. To join a group or a committee is to decide to affirm the existence and action of such a group. Decisions confront each of you as you sit here today. I only wish I might be able to you give you a formula whereby would be guaranteed the right answer. “Sometimes asking questions will help.

Now that you have opened the package with the greatest care and deliberate intention you have seen that its priceless contents have emerged as training to think. Use that training. Realize that man is inadequate and that even though he has always been so and may always 'be so, he should continue his struggle for the meaning of life and for the adaptation to it. “We realize that man has only nudged the elements, scratched the surface of fighting disease, and merely prodded human relationships. All the time, however, his drops of knowledge were trickling into greater oceans of the unknown. Yet li/ttle by man has picked up pebbles on the beach and, even though he had no blueprint, he has built one civilization after another. All of this has been the achievement of individual human beings. Men who have thought and men who have acted. Bergson, the philosopher, when asked to send a message that would sum up his years of study of the human scene and give younger men some guide, little wrote: ‘‘Think, as men of action; act, as men of thought.” “It was recently observed that if a painting on canvas seems beautiful at first glance, closer inspection reveals that it is a combination of light and dark colors, overlapping and recessive planes. When combined, these planes build up values that miraculously achieve great richness. Even such ordinary articles as baskets and bricks come alive through the mastery of the artist’s touch. “Perhaps no other figure in history Page 2 shows through all his attitudes.

Hopple and David A. Superdock, two Bloomsburg State College faculty members, have received grants from the National Science Foundation for studies applicable towards their Doctor’s degrees. In both instances, all expenses will be provided by the National Science Foundation. Hopple was one of twenty college professors from nationwide applicants for the eight-week course in cartogarphy to foe held this Summer at the University of Washington, Seattle. The course, from June 29 thru August 21, will cover modern cartography, all phases of allowing ten graduate credits. Hopple is a native of Pottsville and graduated from Kutztown State College prior to receiving his Master of Science degree in Geography from the Pennsylvania State University in 1960. The ten credits he will receive this summer, along with his previous graduate work at Penn State, will enable him to receive his doctorate the latter part of August.

It may seem to you that you stand at the brink of a cruel world, looking back and nostalgically at four years dreaming of the future. “If one reflects deeply enough, he may get an impression of his life that is far less of chronological sequence than of an imperfect palimpsest of experience upon which what is old has not been erased to make room or the new rather the new appeals thorugh it; the old and the new taking color from each other, the child irom the man, the man from the child, tions for — in certain moods we seem to carry in the cup of our hands the distillation of our total experience. so that “Such can be the effect of a gradThere one can see all life in its shining or mourning in those prewhere the past looks cious hours through them and is contained in them.

Forces have long been preparing to meet at a point of ultimate significance and now the decision must be reached. In this moment of decision, we learn how the past informs the present and shapes the future, and our task is more that of a painter than a photographer in our effort to discern and single out and stress that which is of the essence of our own natures. Then it seems that like Moses, we stand at the brink of the Promised Land, always ineluctable and unattainable. In this moment, we stand in double danger; we may take refuge in nostalgia, hankering for things just because they are past and not because they are necessarily good. “If we cannot JULY, 1964 forget our past, we have a closed future. The days are in our years. Or secondly, we may engage in utopian dreams of the future trying to move faster, impatient to see what ahead. Actually, we cannot escape into the past or dream of the future; we stand always under the judgment of the present; each moment fashions our destiny. “Or we may see this moment as one of opportunity. As T. S. Eliot puts it, ‘lime is our choice of how to live and why’. Here one deals with both the past and the future under the pudgment of the present.

In these moments, tne boundaries of ilfe are merged with the arises of eternal destiny. And we see ourselves not as accidents m cosmic history but as offsprings of the love of God. "No matter what plans you have or the future, how great your intellectual abilities, your powers to organize, your abilities to handle others, tne use to which you will put these tilings will depend ultimately upon the quality of your faith. If you and I are to register in the 20th Century it means that behind the brilliant brain and carefully trained mind, the normal exterior, laughter, and argument must be hard discipline.

The awards and the announcement that the graduate festivities next spring will be held the first weekend in May were highlights of the general meeting of the association in the College Commons on Saturday afternoon.

Presentations Dr. Kehr, who after her long period of outstanding service to the College has retained her interest in the local institution of learnings and in contact with hundreds of its graduates, recalled in her acceptance that she had accepted the local post on a temporary basis. That “temporary” period extended from 1928 to her retirement in 1954. Mrs. Verna Jones observed in the presentation, “Dr. Kehr has meant a great deal to all of the women with whom she came in contact during her wonderful service here.” Prof. Fenstemaker, thirty^seven BSC received Kimber C. years on the faculty, award from Dr. Kuster, also a retired member of the faculty and the holder of a similar his award. Dr. Kuster referred to the alumni president as being a talented teacher and outstanding man “who was inspired thousands of his pupils who are now serving humanity all over the world.” Prof. Fenstemaker in his acceptance expressed his thanks, pointing out that it was the action of the board of I’a g c <1 directors who had insisted that he be the recipient although he had cast a negative vote. Name Directors The association elected directors for Howard F. Fenstemaker, Mrs. Elmer J. McKechnie, 1935; three years 1912; Earl Gehrig, 1937; Frank Furgele, and Glenn Oman, 1931.

But there was little evidence at that time of the great changes and developments that were to come in the quarter century ahead.

Curriculum While the physical changes on the campus are the most noticed, the changes have been in the curriculum. It is a result of these that all other tilings have developed. In the centennial year of ’39 the college was offering four years of work leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in elementary, secondary or business education. The College still offers degrees in these fields plus speeducation. there are also offered at the College curriculums in the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degcial Now ree.

Page 5 IVY DAY “In our constant striving to meet these new demands of our present society let us not be too hasty in our judgments of older society and institutions”, Gerald Howard, Carbondale, 1963 president of the BSC Community Government Association, admonished in his oration at the traditional Ivy. Day ceremonies as he posed the question, “Will we be the last BSC class to witness Ivy Day?” Beware of False Concepts In speaking to his senior classmates and other students of the college, he pointed out that our society is making tremendous demands on education referring specifically to the space age education. He continued by stating that some false concepts have arisen out of the scramble for a better type of education and the fact that something is old doesn’t necessarily mean it is to be discarded or thrown out. He cautioned everyone that we must examine our system of education as well as our individual sets of values before we make any rash judgments about anything. — Howard stated “Many of the finest concepts of education are as old as the hills of time, and yet we continue using them simply because we have not found any better method. The Constitution of the United States of America is 175 years old and yet we do not replace this just because of its age. To go just a bit further, our graduation exercises at this institution are quite old, and yet we do not replace them just because they are aged. Are these valid conslusions? I am not quite sure but they do definitely show that we must sit back and examine our morals and sets of individual values. ‘What You Know Counts’ “Our society is placing more and more value on education. It is no longer whom you know that counts, as it was a few years ago. It has finally come to the point and rightly so, that it is what you know that counts. Perhaps we can learn something from the Ivy we plant here today.” “I am sure that you will agree that we could have picked a more impressive symbol as far as looks go. Ivy small and its color is rather insigbut if given enough time it will grow and dominate the entire scene. If we were to let this ivy grow on this building and returned in twenty years it would have climbed up and expanded itself to dominate the building. Given enough time, it will eventually cover the entire building and become an entity to itself. “There most definitely is something to be learned from this ceremony. If we as educators apply ourselves to COLUMBIA COUNTY ALUMNI careers? If we are given a sufficient length of time, do you feel that we will be masters of our fates?

In our constant striving to meet these demands let us not be too hasty in our judgments of older society and institutions. Since we are the products of our ultra-modern society we are prone to be rash in our judgments of Let us never forget these entities. that someday our society and our institutions will be judged obsolete by our posterity.” it BSC GRADUATE GIVES ADDRESS The Eleventh Annual Spring Conference of the Pennsylvania Council for Geography Education was held at Kutztown State College, Kutztown, on Friday and Saturday, April 24-25.

Page 7 LEGISLATORS VISIT BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE CAMPUS Bloomsburg State College has more than twice as many applicants for admission as can be accomodated at the opening of the 1964-65 term, state senators and assemblymen from the service area of the school were told on a recent visit to the campus. They had an opportunity to view some of the work at the College, including a visit to a session of the student government council, and see some of the building now underway. Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president, ana others of the administration outlined what they are working to ac- complish and some of their problems. The president said that more unity of action is needed by the fourteen State Colleges and suggested that this might be cyrstalized by having one inaividuai in Harrisburg divorced from any particular school but working ior the group. This would enable him to pect lo present the situation with resall of these schools and to marshal facts and figures that would set forth the problems in bold relief. After visiting the student council meeting, viewing the campus and enjoying a social hour with faculty and students in the Husky Lounge, the legistrators met in the Alumni Room with Dr. Andruss, trustees and heads of the various departments of the College. Dean of Instruction John A. Hooh in presenting Dr. Andruss pointed out that this is the twenty-fifth year of his administration which he referred BSC.” The lawmakers viewed models of the auditorium and library to be erected on to as “the golden years at Lhe site of the present athlteic field, of a men’s dormitory to be built on the site of the present North Hall, with work to start and saw a drawing year. Dr. Andruss said that the plan established through 1970 is already outdated. That called for an enrollment of 4,000 and in the 1964-65 term there will be around 2,500. The student population will level off at that figure because there will be no accomodations for more until the building catches up with the demands for entrance With regard to the present objective of 100,000 books for the library, a question was raised by one of the guests if the cost of securing that many volumes at one time would not be prohibitive. It was explained that the project has been started and adding the books will continue for some time. Paul Martin, fiscal director, spoke of the budget problems. He said that when BSC sends to Harrisburg the operating budget which it has fashioned it is always cut to some degree, with no reason given in most cases and with no opportunity for the College to state its side. As a result, he said, there is often a lack of classroom equipment and times when there is a period of several months before these supplies are provided. this . Page 8 C. Stuart Edwards, director of ad- missions, said the higher institutions of learning are now experiencing the population explosion of the years immediately following the close of World War II. This year there will be thirty per cent more graduating from high school, twenty per cent more seeking admission to college than a year ago. This spring twenty-three per cent more applied for admission forms than in 1963 and there have been 1,700 completed applications. The College has facilities to admit only 800. Edwards said that this pressure for admission is going to increase annun ally through next four to five years. Among the reasons are that private schools are not expanding their physical plants and are increasing costs, especially tuition. Dean Elton Hunsinger reported that BSC has steadily increased the per- centage of its graduates in Pennsylvania. Of the class graduating this year, there will be fourteen per cent less leaving Pennsylvania to teach elsewhere than in ’63. Dr. Andruss explained that many of the students come from the anthracite areas where population is dropping and teaching positions are decreasing. As a result, the College has estabin teacher training centers Bucks, Delawai’e ana Montgomery Counties and since this was aone it has been placing an increasing number of its graduates in those sections. The educator said the problems facing the State Colleges as presented in the discussion are serious and they must be faced now and corrected if these institutions are to hold their rightful place in education. rhe lawmakers were guests at dinner in College Commons at which time they were presented to the student body. lished GSA GRANT FOR COLLEGE The General State Authority in Harrisburg allocated $60,725 for planning and designing a science class- room building at Bloomsburg State College as part of an extensive building program during the 1965-67 bi- ennium. Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, college president, said the building, expected to follow the architectural pattern of Sutliff Hall, will be erected on a portion of the present athletic field which will also be the site of an audi- torium and library. RECEIVED TWO COPIES? Our attention has been called to the fact that several copies of the April issue of the Alumni Quarterly were delivered to the same address. In one instance, it happened that both husband and wife are Alumni, and that one of the members has graduated in the old two-year course and later received her degree. mail sent to all graduates of addressed on a machine. The plates are separated according to the year of graduation. When letters are sent to the members of a separate All BSC class, the same plates are used. One who has graduated twice from BSC will have two class reunions, and should be notified both occasions. It is therefore necessary that the address plates be kept intact. If you are one of those who receive more than one copy of the Quarterly, you can help publicize BSC by giving the extra copy to someone who might be interested in coming to Bloomsburg. You might also place a copy in your town library or in your high school library.

SUPPORT THE ALUMNI May 23, 1964 First of all this letter is being written not from Tokyo tout from a little toAii in Malaysia called Port Dickson. If you look at a map of Asia you can find this town about 50 miles south of Kuala Lampur, 30 miles north of Mallacca and 21 miles across the water from Indonesia. that It seems about three weeks ago in Japan I was invited to serve as a consultant for a seminar in Malaysia entitled “Education in Asia.” It is supported by the Quakers. It was quite unexpected and I hastily jumped at the chance. On May 3rd I took off for Hong Kong, Bangkok, Penang, Kulala Lampur and Port Dickson. Ten days of our three week conference have gone by and this meeting has been one of the most valuable experiences for me in the Orient. Forty people are here representing India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Each day two consultants give lectures along with a discussion in small groups. Through this way I am able to get an unusual amount of information and keen insight into the problems and developments of education in Asia from those who are a part of it. As an example a Pakistanian girl yesterday gave a report on the problems of women’s education in Muslim Pakistan where the girl traditionally is secluded. A man from Ceylon described the current effects on education as a result of colonialism. We are somewhat isolated at a very nice Methodist Rest Center, 10 miles from Port Dickson. The ocean is about 50 feet from my room. The temperatures hover around 90 degrees but the ocean breeze keeps us surprisingly comfortable. The daily schedule includes an afternoon swim and we then go at it in the evening again with talks about each country. I have presented two lectures so far concerning JaJpanese education and its role in developing Asian education, and trends in educational development throughout the World. I’m supplementing the lectures and discussions with a series of interviews with various headmasters from each counAll in all, from a professional try. point of view, it is a relaxing but very busy ideal opportunity to bring myself up to date on Asian education. I have not been down in this area my 1961 and 62 tours. The Quakers support these seminars since in Asia each year to develop inter- national understanding. I must say that in this small way with 40 people, it is quite successful. For example, yesterday on our way home from visiting a rural development scheme on a rubber plantation, a very friendly Indian boy sat on the bus next to a Thai girl and struck up a conversation. Very slowly the girl revealed that in Thailand parents threaten their children that if they don’t behave they’ll get an Indian after them. It seems therefore that this girl has Page 23 bilities. Our evening recreation periods are thoroughly enjoyed by the Buddhist Thais, the Philippine Christians, the Hindu Indians, the Pakistan and Malaysia Muslims, The Ceylonese Buddhists, and the Malaysian Chinese Buddhists. And then there’s me. I do offer the Quakers my deepest admiration for this program and the opportunity it has provided me. Through the contacts made here, after the conference ends next wek I will spend a little time at the University of Malaya, then on back to Bangkok to visit UNESCO, take a quick trip 400 miles up to north Thailand to Chingmai by a 14 hour bus ride, back to Bangkok, and on to never spoken to an Indian before yesterday because she was afraid of them. It has been noticeable that the Thais have been staying away from the Indians, so the Indians have quietly been asked to consider ways break this down. Another incident has been the friendly relations between the Muslim to Pakistanians and the Hindu Indians. One girl said she had never -before had an opportunity to meet freely with Hndus and explained that in few days her hatred of the Hindu Indian had undergone an emo- these tional change. This idea of bringing people together in a relaxed mood for a fairly long time has great possi- Hong Kong, maybe a day’s stopover Manila and on back to Tokyo. Friends from the seminar are making all kinds of arrangements for each other to stay over in their cities. For example, I’m staying at a student in center in Bangkok for fifty cents a night while the regular hotels are terribly expensive there. The same price goes in Changmai. These contacts are invaluable. I will reciprocate in Tokyo.

This will, will give It in Alumni Day has come and gone. Favored with excellent weather, it was a very pleasant affair. The attendance was good, but it should have been better. Every one seemed to be enjoying himself. There were some aspects, however, that were disheartening to your officers. Only graduates signed for membership at the Alumni desk. The class of 1924, however, proved to be a brilliant exception. Through the efforts of Edward Schuyler, 43 addi77 tional memberships were added from that class alone. In the twenty-five years that have elapsed since the Centennial in 1939, the enrollment at the College has more than tripled. This is not the case with the Alumni Association. The present membership of the Alumni Association is less than oneTifth of the number of living graduates. This is probably due to a pattern that has prevailed for a long time. The great majority of Alumni who attend their class reunions every five years take out their membership for one year, and then forget about it until reunion time comes around again. Thus, there is a turnover of more than eighty percent in the membership every year. Another disheartening feature Alumni attended is difficult class reunions off to understand. At one one-fouilh had attended the Alumni Day was the fact that many campus and never came to the campus at all. This of this year's of the class reunions held Saturday night, less than Alumni meeting. The Quarterly is financed entirely out of dues.

And mss Completes 25th Year Dr. As President Bloomsburg State College This year marks an important milestone not only in the history of Bloomsburg State College but in the life of Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, who completes his twenty-fifth year as President. Dr. Andruss became acting head of institution Tuesday, August 29, 1939, at the age of thirty-seven and has remained in that post, consecutively, for a longer period than any of his predecessors. He succeeded Dr. Francis B. Haas, who had resigned to become Superintendent of Public Instruction. the The many problems which beset administration in general and higher education in particular a quarter century ago were not unknown to the young president. Dr. Andruss had been a public school administrator at the age of nineteen; in the years that led to 19L9, he had served as a university instructor, college department A and dean of instruction. graduate of The University of Okla- head, homa, he earned the Master of Business Administration degree at Northwestern University, and the Doctor Education degree at The Pennsyl- of vania State University. A crystal ball one to forecast might have helped some of the events and problems of the next quarter century. But the matter of charting a constructive course of action was going to require more than mere crysgazing could supply. From the time he came to Bloomsburg in 1930 to establish and head the Department of Business Education, Dr. Andruss had worked closely with Dr. Haas. Both men had sought for solutions to the problems suffered by institutions of higher education when the “Great Depression’’ began tal affect to every phase of life. They were aware tion, made by some, American of the suggesthat a number of Pennsylvania’s fourteen State Teachers Colleges be closed for the sake of economy. When the national government took steps to mobilize the nation’s resources and revitalize the economy, aid was made available to state and local governments for the construction of certain public buildings. Toward the end of Dr. Haas’ tenure, three buildings and addition to the heating plant had been completed at a cost of $750,000 through the joint efforts of Federal government and The General State Authority. The substantial completion of these buildings were evident the during Centennial Celebration in May, 1939. At a later time, the Centennial Gymnasium was dedicated with Dr. Francis B. Haas and Governor Arthur James as speakers. This was the first the OCTOBER, 1964 time since 1869, when Governor John Geary helped dedicate the building increased from forty to 150. In the past twenty-five years, one that preceded the present Waller Hall, that a chief executive of the Commonwealth had come to the Bloomsburg can also find significant changes campus. One of the most pressing problems, calling for decisive action on the part of President Andruss and the Trustees in the Fall of 1939, was to find a way get adequate funds to equip, open, and operate the three new buildings High Centennial Gym, the Junior School (now Navy Hall) and the Maintenance building. In less than two years, the interto tional crisis became more acute when Hitler’s mechanized legions sliced into Poland. The world prepared for the grim realities of a hot war. i be plight of higher education was described in a report Five Years are Finished, 1940-1945. What of the Future?” From part of an article written by Benjamin Fine regarding the effects of war on 17 typical Liberal Arts Colleges, Dr. Andruss noted that "Enrollment of civilian students has decreased to about 15 per cent of normal, the faculty has been depleted, course offerings have been slashed, extra-curricular activities have been reduced or abandoned, many colleges are operating at a financial loss, and buildings, plants and equipment have deteriorated and need repair.” The forward-looking policies of the Board of Trustees and the college administration have been summed up in these words, "During the four-year period of War Programs, the college taught 1,000 people to fly, had 500 Navy Officer Candidates, housed 2,000 students for Engineering, Science and Management War Trainees, and ofthe fered courses to nurses from Bloomsburg Hospital. This enabled the college to offer employment to the faculty, maintain the college plant in times when material was available only on priority, make a substantial contribution to the war effort, and develop the Aviation Program. From 1940-1955, more than $2,000,- 000 was spent for construction, major repairs, and the purchase of equipment and machinery. But the greatest boom in building has occurred in The College Comthe past decade. mons, New North Hall, Sutliff Hall, East and West Dormitories were completed; the Library was moved to the site of the former dining room; allocation of funds were approved for a new Library Building, a new Auditorium, and New North Hall; the capacity of the Heating Plant was doubled. regular In 1940, there were 718 students enrolled at the college. This grew to 2,176 during the past year. The number of full-time faculty has in of instruction. The number of curriculum divisions was increased from three to four (Special the program Sducation was added) an Arts and Science program was initiated, leading to the bachelor’s degree; a graduate program, leading to the Master of Education degree, was developed and approved in the areas of Elementary, Business, Special and Secondary Education. If the past is but a prologue to the future, students and alumni can look forward to more changes and growth as they join in celebrating the 125th anniversary of their Alma Mater and the 25th year of Dr. Andruss’ tenure as President. ; HOME-COMING DAY Although events of the attendance Home-Coming at Day the was somewhat reduced by the rainy weather in the morning, the day was a very successful one.

Page 1 TWO 125th Anniversary Convocation An outstanding event of Anniversary Week was the convocation held in Centennial Gymnasium Thursday afternoon, October 15. The convocation staged in connection with the double anniversary was one of the most impressive ceremonials ever held on the campus of the College. Educators, public officers, and present and former trustees of the College were present as honored guests, and occupied seats in the front gymnasium. The events of the day were begun with registration and a coffee hour of the lobby of New North Hall. This was followed by a luncheon in the Colin the Commons. An academic lege procession consisted of the faculty, delegates from twentyfour colleges, and the members of the Class of 1965, all in academic costume. The great variety of colors on the hoods presented a striking picture as the procession made its way up Secon Street in the sunshine of a beautiful autumn day. William Decker, of the Music Department, was at the organ and played the Processional March, March and Cebell (Suite in C, by Purcell). The Invocation was given by Gustave W. Weber, President of Susequehanna University. President Andruss introduced the platform guests, and greeted the guests in the audience. Mr. William A. Lank, President of the Board of Trustees, then presented the Honorable William W. Scranton, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Governor Scranton, an ardent supporter of education in Pennsylvania then noted that there are now eight projects on the drawing board for Bloomsburg State College which will cost an estimated $9.5 millions. Governor Scranton declared “Every Pennsylvanian can look with pride on what this day is for this institution of learning.’’ The chief executive pointed out that major part of Pennsylvania’s an- the nual budget used education, and said that colleges should enable every young person to receive as mucn education as his ability permits. The Governor challenged the students to do something with their eduis for cation. “To do this,” he said, “you must make up your minds and then go on to the fulfillment of your plans.

Only the direction and harnessing of its power by educated men will determine its total effect.” In indicating the second major responsibility, he stressed that “With a college education, one is obligated to increase the amount and the widening scope of knowledge itself. This responsibility must be contributed tnrough personal research, by discovering new truth, by interpreting old truths in relation to new situations, and by otherwise enriching your own lot and that of others through constant accretion and evaluation.” The need to assume a moral imperative was the third responsibility with which the noted educator charged the graduating students. “Educated men and women,” he said, “must strive to understand the meaning and •the impact of material progress in relation to the good of society.” in his final admonition, Dr. deFrancesco reminded the students that as a college graduate, “You must dare to be yourself. This is as much to say: don't choose the easy road, the beaten path, the expected mode, the conventional way.” He concluded by saying, “The fluidity of ideas in our time, the constancy of change, the advances made on all fronts of human behavior almost forbide the educated to accept a way of life other than the creative, individualistic, experimental and temporary. For how long? Not too long as the life-span suggests; sooner or later, those who have lived courageously find their life’s compass and swiftly and confidently reach port.” 1939 John E.

Page 5 COLLEGE CLOCK BOUGHT THROUGH TURKEY DINNERS William H. Housel, Former Steward, with Idea History Credits MORNING PRESS MAY 20, To the students and most windows, 1939 of the the to today, the clock on tower of Carver Hall is merely a convenient timepiece. To the oldtimers, however, it is a symbol of the cooperative spirit that went into the faculty laying of the foundations of the present Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Money for the clock was raised one week, in of all through the endeavor the united college community. Teachers, students, administration and staff all had a part in the acquisition of device which this sential in life now has become “on the es- hill.” Nw and then one of those who glance at the clock may call to mind a turkey dinner stand operated at the Bloomsburg Fair Grounds just after the turn of the century. If it hadn’t been for that particular stand, where delicious meals were served throughout the four days of fair week, the clock on the hill might not today be tolling forth the hours. The clock was paid for through tur- key dinners prepared and served by students and staff of the college. The turkeys were roasted at the college and then taken to the stand. Teachers and students waited on tables. The idea originated with William Housel, who, many will say, “was responsible for the whole thing.” Mr. Housel for fifteen years was steward at the college and was a progressive force on the campus throughout that time. He suggested the ac- quisition of a clock and followed it up dinner with the idea of a turkey stand to be operated in the Fall of 1901, during the principalship of Dr. J. P. Welsh. The “went over big,” althe first and probably the last time that the college ever conducted a diner stand at the fair though was encountered when it came to the side facing the women’s dormitory, Waller Hall. Because the side roof of Carver Hall, extends above the level of the first row of blind be seen this clock face installed at the as the others. if The answer to the could not height same problem was found in the placing of a smaller clock face in the row of blind windlbws which extends around the tower almost thirty feet above the other clocks. The fourth side of the clock, facing the pine grove, is therefore high above the others but is run by the same mechanism as the rest. The clock is attached to the bell, which was purchased through subscription in 1867. The bell can be rung separately, but marks the hours by the use of a hammer attachment to the clock. Before the clock was purchased, the bell was rung by the janitor at chapel time, which was then 8:30 in the morning. It was also rung for the one o’clock class in the afternoon. For many years, it was the faculty’s responsibility to see that students got out of bed at an early hour. Each morning, when heads of sleepy students were still buried in their pillows, a faculty member or a student would march through the halls, clanging an old hand bell. The fellow who could sleep through that clatter really deserved a few hours’ extra snooze. A push button in the principal’s ofoffice was used to mark the end of classes for many years. The button operated bells throughout the school and was later replaced by the auto- matic system now in use. Since 1902, the clock has proved of benefit not only to students hurrying to and from classes, but also to town residents who use it to set their watches and listen for its clear tones to mark the hours. pi’oject it was grounds. The year happened to be a good one, and the weather was excellent. The stand was located near the old exhibition building on the grounds. The college served “all they could feed” and earned enough to pay for the bell, which cost in the neighborhood of five hundred dollars. It was purchased in 1902, the first outdoor clock owned by the college. One of the moving liam B. spirits in the project Sutliff, who later was Wilbecame 1925 Marie K.

One of her larger compositions “Enchainment of Past and Future” has been purchased by Fairleigh Dickinson University and is displayed in the library of the Florham- Madison Campus. Mrs. Ancker ’s bust of a woman was used in the cover design of the maiden issue of “University Women.” It was judged by the magazine editors to reflect the air of serious contemplation characteristic of the modern educated woman. Among works Mrs. Ancker completed during the spring of 1963 when she worked in Rome is a bronze figure of St. Francis of Asissi for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Murray Hill, which is the focal point in a Memorial Garden. In January Mrs. Ancker exhibited her work at The House of Fine Arts in Summit. During the past year her work also has been seen in the Graulich Gallery, Art-o-Rama, Highgate Gallery, Robbins Gallery, and the Ward Eggleston Galleries. Mrs. Ancker has been called “a highly accomplished sculptor, who has created serene figures whose gestures and expressions suggest that each has a poetic, philosophical nature.” Prepared by Fairleigh Dickinson Page 13 women students, under the guidance of Dr. Lois Pratt, associate professor of sociology, the “University Woman’’ is published quarterly. 1918 1919 Ruth Ann Montague at Dan- 1920 Alice P.

It seems that man can invent machines faster than man trained or educated to use these new machines or devices. is willing to be Sometimes, in the past, a man has not only resisted change but has tried machines which he could not learn to operate. French workmen jammed or dropped their sabots (wooden shoes) in the new machines to stop them, hoping frequent repairs would result in their discarding the new machines. Farmers, for many years, continued to prefer horse drawn machinery and implements rather than buying tractors. They knew about the habits of the horse but the mysteries of the internal combustion engine were just too much for them to learn without a great deal of pressure. to destroy the Today, education in all its processes faces the same problem. New machines, procedures, devices and methods of instruction cannot be made effective as long as teachers insist on teaching the same old things in the same old way. While the young usuallv adopt new ideas, machines and ways of doing things on account of their sheer novelty, the experienced refuse to adapt the more recent machines and methods, saying that they have not proved themselves.

President AN INTERVIEW WITH May 20, 1939) talk long to Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., President Emeritus of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, to realize that in his mind the college on the hill stands today as a monument to the memory of Professor Henry Carver, more than to any other man. Carver Hall, you’ll recall, was named after him. (Morning: Press, One need not Likewise Dr. Waller does not hesitate to state that Henry Carver helphis ed career more than any other individual, “as he did many of the boys whose lives he touched.” Speaking in his ninety-third year, there is no doubt in Dr. Waller’s mind, as he goes back over the long procession of school men he has himself known and influenced, there is no question but that Professor Carver was the master, school master of them all. So far as the history of the Bloomsburg State College and its predecessors are concerned. Dr. Waller has personally lived through all but a few years of the century associated with those institutions tha make the background for the educational service given this community. True, the old academy at Third and Jefferson streets, the forerunner in the field of higher education in Bloomsburg, was established in 1839, seven years before Dr. Waller was born, but there had been little wisdom back of that. The first teacher proved a failure. Then along came C. P. Waller, a graduate of Williams College and an uncle of Dr. David J. Waller, Jr. He was here two years and in those yeax's raised the course an academy stature. He was latbecome a president judge of Pennsylvania courts. Followed then several years of indifferent service. That it could not have been much of a school at the time is best evidenced by the fact that when Dr. Waller’s father, Rev. David J. Waller, first sent his son to school, it was not to that newly established academy, but to a Mi’s. Drake a Snyder before she was married. “Her school,” said Dr. Waller, “was situated on Main street, where to er to — Snyder’s Run cx-ossed the street. The run had not been covered in that day and an open bridge spanned the with flying colors on that first day. It was probably a bad start.” His first recollection of corporal in the school came when the teacher gave “Bill Snyder a licking.” He didn’t remain there long, but was next sent by his father to a classical school founded by B. F. Eaton in 1854 in the Primitive Methodist church, at the corner of East Thii'd and Iron Streets, now the site of St. Columba’s Chui'ch. punishment “I was thex-e only a short time, My the audience. turn to recite I supposed to say. too When forgot came my it what I was My parents weren’t encouraged with my work much that day.” It was out of the success of this classical school that there developed, “The Bloomsburg Literary Insti- existtute, but it had a precarious ence for several years, changing both site and heads. “Inability to discipline was one of the gx-eatest difficulties a succession of teachers experienced. The school had a Princeton student in theology here one year before I entered the school. One of the boys stood the teacher on his head. The latter’s — watch fell from his pocket, and the boy ground it under his heel. That was a climax to the poor discipline. “Then along came Henry Carver to save the day. He chanced to come into town on a pleasure trip. He was introduced to a number of town men and finally persuaded to stay and open up the old academy. He had headed an academy and had also headed the preparatory department of the University of California. He was the ideal man for the job, as Bloomsburg was soon to learn. “That old academy building had its length running parallel to Third Of bx-ick and two stories, a hall ran through the middle of the first floor In the rooms on that floor the lower grades were taught The second floor was one large room. “Henry Carver xvas a widower at stx-eet. street. “Jim Ramsey, Dr. Ramsey’s son, Abbott and Bill Snyder I recall as other pupils. The seats faced the wall.

But Professor Carver saw greater things ahead. He served notice that unless more adequate quarters were provided, he would not retuxm. That placed the situation squarely up to Bloomsburg. He told the board that when he returned in the Fall he would have plans for two buildings, and they could take their choice. But unless they decided to go ahead he would have to leave. “He came back with his plans. He told them one of the buildings could be built for $15,000. They didn’t believe his figures. They wanted Carver, but they couldn’t see that much money. “I’ll take the contract to build it myself at that figure,” Professor Carver stated. They couldn’t get away from that man. “And build it he did. built the building, but he He not only was largely the money. responsible for raising Building and furnishings complete cost $24,000 by the time they had finished. He kept in close touch with the subscriptions, and when this subscription or that didn’t come up to the figux-e he thought it ought to be, he would hitch up his horse, drive out to this farm or that, and raise the subscription. The man had an amazing personal magnetism. “During those months of building he was frequently away from the academy, and following devotional exercises he would announce: ‘Mr. So and So will hear the Latin class today, or the geometry class, whichever it might be. And the classes went ahead as systematically as though he were there with an eye on all the proceedings. I mention that to give you an idea of the spirit with which he had fired the student body. “We had a bell on top of the old academy and this was always rung exchange of classes by a boy employed for tha purpose. During all that building I never witnessed any disordei— any shoving of shoulders and that sort of thing during all for the — the class changes. “Clint Swisher, from out near Jeryeax-s a prominent university pi’ofessor in Washington, D.

He caught the pipe with his hand and threw it out the window. John walked quietly from the room, recovered his pipe and took his seat. Professor Carver got to hear of it when we came back to the academy. It chanced I was the one in charge at the time. “The others escaped criticism which was heaped upon me because I had not administered the needed punishment. “It was a great day when we marched from the old academy up the middle of the street trustees, faculty and student body, headed by the Bloomsburg Band— to the new building on the hill. It was to be some — years later before as Normal Hill. was to be known Even then we all it recognized Professor Carver as the spark-plug of the undertaking.” “What about the story of the bell for Carver Hall for which Charles Unangst, George Eiwell and yourself raised the money?” the reporter wanted to “That was more of the amazing magnetism of Henry Carver. His philosophy was iaughed. the individual could accomplish whatever he set out to do, if sufficiently determined. He had all the noys who expected to go on to colthat lege imbued with that idea.

And back of it all, as Dr. Waller emphasized time and again, was the amazing spirit of this man, Carver. State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. P. Wickersham, coming from Wilkes-Barre, chanced to note the beauty of the valley and the first building of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute on the hill. He stopped over in Bloomsburg, became more impres- sed with the possibilities of the school and its location and took the initiative in suggesting that a normal school be added. That meant an additional building, and more subscriptions. It was when the board had decided they needed $70,000 for land and building that aging Harry Carver came along and took the contract to erect the know.

The interviewer mentally pictured the spirit of tha amazing community, a village not much more than a quarter Bloomsburg ’s present size back in the days when there was very building for $36,000. Again the mainspring back of the subscription drive. it was Henry Carver who was “I was in college when he left, but never forgot the lessons of common sense and good order he left with me. 1 “I was to see him later and to learn he had duplicated in New Jersey the same remarkable things he had done here. I recall hearing that when he had a board of trustees there who hesitated to launch an under taking to which he was committed, he pledged his word that if they carried through he would have President Grant there for the dedication. And he carried out his word. “Charles Unangst, distinguished one of those trine.’ who became a lawyer, was New York who ‘swallowed his docHe had filled Charlie with the idea he could go through college, and he did tha very thing, without any financial backing. Charlie had been a leader in declamation here and when he got to Hamilton College he found tha college stressing public speaking. Charlie tutored the other boys and financed his own way. Can’t you see what that sort of leadership meant to a boy?” It was easy to get Dr. Waller to talk of Henry Carver, but he had little to say of the great part he played through twenty-seven years in spreading the name and fame of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. He had graduated from Lafayette College in 1870, and tutored there for a year after which he attended the Union Theological Seminary, graduating there in 1874. During the year 18/4-75 he became pastor of the Logan Square Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia and there an epidemic of diphtheria swept through the family, costing the life of a child and leaving Dr. Waller with a throat affection. It was feared for a time he would do no public speaking. Mi-s. Waller and he returned to Bloomsburg to recuperate. His condition improved and he was prevailed upon take over the pastorate of to the Orangeville, Rohrsburg and Rav- en Creek Presbyterian churches. It was about a year and a half later that Mrs. Waller and he were driving to Bloomsburg and had reached the outskirts of town when Daniel A. Beckley, driving toward them, stopped his horse and remarked he was on his way to see Dr. Waller at the time. Mr. Beckley had for a long time been a strong influence in the school. They arranged to meet at the house of Dr. Waller’s father, and there Mr. Beckley, on behalf of the board, offered him the principalship of the Bloomsburg State Normal School There were considerations that inclined him to accept, but he was not willing to take up the work with the division then existing on the board. It was then that Judge Eiwell jumped into the breach, and declared that would be handled. There was submitted Dr. to Waller a letter in Judge Elwell’s handwriting, agreeing that if he would accept the principalship there would never be a line of division on the board. That promise was kept to the letter. The letter itself is still in existence. Followed then thirteen years of steady development of the school under Dr. Waller’s guidance. The procession of principals following Professor Carver’s resignation was at an end. The same admiration and had respect that Professor Carver won became even more pronounced as the years of Dr. Waller’s principalship progressed. Then came the invitation Governor Beaver to accept the from office of State Supei’intendent of Public Instruction. He accepted and served lor three years, the election of Robert E. Pattison as Democratic govDr. ernor and his refusal to sign Waller’s commission creating an unpleasant situation. He had earlier turned aside repeated invitations from the Indiana, Pa., State Normal School to take over the principalship of that school, declaring other himself disinterested in any superintendent. while state work That office relinquished, he agreed go to Indiana, and remained there from 1883 to 1906 during which the school likewise went ahead by leaps and bounds. When Dr. Judson Perry Welsh, who had succeeded Dr. Waller here, resigned to become dean at Pennsylof vania State College, the board Dr. trustees sought the return of to Waller to his first scholastic love. The invitation reached him at his summer cottage at Windermere, Canada. It was late one evening that THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 95 PERCENT ARE TEACHING A survey of the of 1964 468 members of Bloomsburg Class at State College shows that 95 per cent for of the 416 graduates available teaching have accepted teaching posiGraduates not available for tions. include twentyteaching positions nine who are in graduate school, fifteen who are serving in the armed forces, and eight who are married.

His home community has signs along the main arteries of travel leading into the borough noting that it is his birthplace and it is probable few folks who pass those signs, regardless of where they come from, do not know of the work of this man.

The reaction was quite when 2,100 students and different recently faculty members heard President Harvey A. Andruss boldly outline the for Bloomsburg a State University, need and the plans State College to become accommodating 6,000 students in 1980. He cited, as part of the basis for his thinking, in- DR. HARVEY A. ANDRUSS President creasing enrollment pressures, the great number of applicants denied admission due to the lack of room and financial support, and the history of the plans for growth from 1,200 to 4,800. Dr. Andruss reminded the audience that the first plans for Bloomsburg State Teachers College, more than 20 years ago, would have accommodated 1,200 students — approximately double the enrollment at that time. Less than a decade ago, the figure was raised to 2,000, and the target date was set at 1970; subsequently, plans for 3,000 were outlined in greater detail. It is now estimated that 2,800 students will enroll next September, and the number will reach or exceed 3,000 in 1966 — four years earlier than the 1970 target date. This has occurred in spite of the fact that only one-half of the buildings, planned for occupancy in 1970, will be ready for use in 1966. proposal, made by former State Superintendent Charles H. Boehm, Bloomsburg should have 4,800 students — 3,000 on the present campus 1,800 on the second campus.

You came here, each of you, to be made ‘skillful considerers of human things.’ The phrase is Milton’s; it is text, and I hope you will remember it if you remember nothing else today. “To be ‘skillful considerers’ is to know that the surface of things is often deceptive.

When the college opened its doors September, 1964, the number of students exceeded 2,450. Although enin rollment figures for the 1965-66 college year are tentative at present, it number will reach an increase of nearly 350. The addition of approximately 20 new faculty members in September, 1965, will provide an instructional staff of almost 170, and will generate new needs for housing as well as increased wages and spending for the community. For nearly a decade, summer sessions enrollments have climbed steadily, accompanied by a proportionate is likely that the 2,800, increase in the number of faculty employed. Enrollment for the 1964 summer sessions was double the number of full time students on campus during tne regular college year a decade ago. This trend should continue in 1965. The college can point with pride to the contributions it makes directly to the economic health and vitality of the community; the institution must, however, be even more concerned with its obligation to provide increasing opportunities for young men and women to secure an education beyond high school. This is both a difficult and an important challenge for 1965! Page 4 WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS costs us ten cents each time give us your change of It you fail to address.

While a Science Classroom Building is being planned for the area now occupied by two tennis courts, it will be at least three years before the building will be available. Therefore, given to the consideration is being gradual transformation of the Benjamin Franklin Laboratory School for classroom a elementary pupils to b”ilding for college students. At the present time the basement areas, of the Ben Franklin building, which were more or less unfinished since 1930. are being used for the IBM Computer Center, a general assembly room for groups of 75 to 100, and a Day Women's Lounge; more recently several smaller rooms were set up to take care of the curriculum laboratory for college students in the elem- entary field, but have been needed for classroom purposes. A letter was addressed to the SupArea Bloomsburg of erintendent Schools by the President of the College on December 11, 1964. indicating that Bloomsburg should plan for its junior or community college for this area. Also, the Bloomsburg Area School Board was advised that enrollment for the kindergarten at the own would Franklin Building probably not be accepted in 1965, and that there is also a possibility the first grade will be discontinued. The phasing out of the campus laboratory school will be done in a series of steps so that the sending school districts can absorb the elementary pupils, and the college can reassign those faculty members who care to continue on the college staff. commitments definite While no have been made, either regarding the use of plant or personnel, the Board of Trustees has been apprised of this situation for some months, and will approve the steps necessary to make it effective at meetings held between January and June, 1965. The study of the utilization of space by the Shay Associates of Philadelphia has indicated that much of the classroom space of the college is substandard and, in many cases, overcrowded. The study also indicated that the utilization of space is as high as can be expected within the limits of the classroom day and the fact that more than 700 students must commute daily from their homes to Bloomsburg. Future growth of the college depends on solving the problem of increased classroom space, according to President Harvey A. Andruss. letter Following is a copy of a mailed on December 11, to T. A.

Dean of Instruction John A. Hoch has stated that every College Council since 1946, with the exception of the present one, has asked the administration to consider a final examination week. The councils that made this recommendation made three stipulatoins: (1) elimination of an excessive number of tests on any one day, (2) elimination of social activities that would hinder study, and (3) elimination of class assignments. The Faculty Association also recommended consideration of an exam week. At the conclusion of the first examination week, an evaluation committee composed of students, faculty and representatives will administrative review the exam week, using the following as a guide for future recommendations: (a) Did exam week serve the purpose of being a fair indication of the student’s progress? (b) Did both students and faculty co-operate (c) What other problems were created?

"This herculean task is being performed on each state college campus, and its is apparent that the quality of education at each college cannot be improved without more financial support. the minimum increase say should be $100 per student— and it should come from the state, not the student, otherwise we shall be depriving many more young people of a college education.” viewed by Heiges’ remarks are many in the Department of Public Instruction as a forewarning of the 14 college presidents’ requests to the ad- “I ministration and the ’65 Legislature. The Shippensburg president has long been one of the more articulate spokesmen for the presidents. He was one of the three authors this year of "Vital Issues Pacing the State Colleges,” a collection of the 14 presidents’ complaints and recommendations for meeting the enrollment increases in this decade. In an effort to meet the higher education emergency, the administration and state Board of Education have begun half a dozen studies of various problems in that field and have employed Dr. Earl J. McGrath, former U. S. commissioner of education, to find a solution to the fiscal control dispute between the college presidents and state budget office. Dr. Heiges called upon the school board members to help the state board in drafting the new master plan STATE COLLEGE ALUMNI PROE. RUSSELL WRITES COUNCIL URGES BROADER STATE SUPPORT ARTICLE ON The Council of Alumni Associations Pennsylvania’s 14 state colleges urged broader Commonwealth support of these institutions. The council, representing more than 100,000 alumni of the institutions, issued a statement recommending: “Necessary support to broaden the present offerings” of the state of — colleges: — Greater autonomy for the Council on Higher Education and the college presidents in budget matters, currifacilities and administration; —Legislation to insure that the colleges “can take advantage” of the provisions of the federal higher edu- cula, cation facilities act; —Development of a “master plan” enable the colleges to provide for anticipated enrollment of 60,000 students by 1972; “Holding the line” on fees charged state college students. Council President Leon R. Lunn of Mansfield said the program was intended to help the state colleges take “their proper place in the state’s higher education system.” “The 14 state colleges are the only truly public colleges in Pennsylvania, and as such they should be the first’ concern of every official chai’ged with responsibility for higher education in the Commonwealth,” Lunn said. “The state colleges are the best hope of the great majority of collegebound Pennsylvania boys and girls.” to an — School in Allentown. for “the cause of strengthening the state colleges of Pennsylvania.” Dr. Heiges called for an immediate increase in construction funds to the construction of almost $135,000,000 for higher education of which $37,135,000 or 27.6 per cent is allocated to the state colleges; 10.6 per cent to Penn State, and 61.8 per cent to private, state-aided institutions.” “The state colleges’ allocation is inadequate and unfair.” Dr. Heiges was critical of persons who “do not know the situation” and claim that state college enrollments could easily be controlled “if we prevented students who could not do college work from being admitted.” More than 92 per cent of the students at most state colleges come from the upper three-fifths of their high school class, Dr. Heiges told the school directors.

Montanye, 23 West Hollenback avenue. Mrs. Montanye will be remembered as the former Olive Kresge. After serving 40 years as teacher children patienit in the hospital’s pediatrics wards, Mrs. Montanye has resigned from that post, and was tendered a special, inspirational token of appreciation by the Auxiliary. The token of appreciation— the way Mi-s. Montayne preferred it was the presentation by the Auxiliary of a beautiful record player to the children’s ward in her honor. On it will be mounted her name.

That Mrs. Montayne is the ideal person to carry on this work was unanimous. In making the presentation of the record player, Auxiliary president, Mrs. Philip J. Morgan, declared: “For 40 years this beloved and dedicated teacher did her inspirational work. It is entirely fitting that she now continue to carry on her work for many more years as Chairman of the Children’s Wards, performing still more works of love for our children patients.” Mrs. Montayne, a former teacher at Guthrie Building, and a native of Stroudsburg, has resided the past 66 years at the same West Hollenback avenue address, just around the corner from the hospital. Educated at Courtright Avenue School, Coughlin High School, and Bloomsburg College, she taught 5th grade State for 10 years at Guthrie, until married. Her husband, Jared D. Montayne, prominent local businessman, passed away 9 years ago.

For the last 40 years, Mrs. Montayne taught a special course in the “three R’s” to give children patients enough tutoring so that when they returned to their regular classes at school, they’d be right up with their classmates.

When we set up our first special education class in Danville, Miriam became the teacher, a job for which she was especially fitted. since she is, from early childhood, a polio victim. During this time she married J. Lee Funk, who had been a special education teacher in Northumberland. Funk was a native of New Mexico, and when Mrs. Funk retired in 1953, they went to Roswell where they have since resided. “Shortly after moving to Roswell Mrs. Funk was elected to teach a special education class in that city, a position she held until retiring two years ago.” The newspaper article on her work follows Page 9 “Arts and Crafts are not hobbies with me, they’re a way of life,” Mrs. Jay Lee Funk told us the other day.

Some of the most eye-catching items creating at present are colored pencil drawings on the front of plain white note sheets. Her original and delicate renderings of blossoms are attractive enough to frame and we’ll venture that friends receiving these notes will do just that with them. she is Mrs. Funk, whose husband is an became a nature lover in her native Pennsylvania. She began her teaching career in that state where for 35 years she pursued her work before moving to Roswell. For eight artist, years she was a teacher of local handicapped children before her retirement. she attributes her interest in handicapped children to her own 64 years oi lameness from polio. For those with time on their hands and pennies in their pockets Mrs. Funk’s words hold a message “I have always looked for new ideas and tried to see what I could make out of cast-off material.” . . .

The study program will be under the direction of Dr. Carl Bauer, chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages, BSC, with the tentative dates being July 15 to August 31, inclusive. The three universities at which study will be conducted are the University of ainz, Germany, the University of Dijon, France, and the University of Madrid, Spain. Six credits will be paid for the program and may be granted by Bloomsburg State College upon successful completion of courses. The program has three basic goals. The communicative facility of stu- dents, particularly future teachers, is the primary consideration. This is based on the observation that there is no substitute for actual foreign experience in acquiring the living language and culture. second goal of this program is the refresher seminar for in-service teachers. As with any other skill, the active use of the foreign language suffers with time. The A study program can strengthen both speaking and writing skills. A third goal is to continue a four-way cultural exchange program which has already been started between the institutions involved, namely, the universities of Dijon, Madrid, and Mainz and Bloomsburg State College. The program is available only for members of the Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association and immediate families. Future information can be obtained by writing to Dr. Carl D.

A few weeks from now, the College will send a letter to all BSC graduates for whom we have the correct address. This letter will include an announcement ol the program of the events that will take place on Alumni Day, May 8. Alumni Day has been moved to an earlier date this year. It is hoped that, as a result, the Alumni who are teaching will be less involved in affairs in their own schools, and will be able to attend their reunions. Members other than reunion classes are invited to come to the campus and enjoy the festivities.

Page 1 TO CLASSES IN REUNION ALUMNI MEETING Bloomsburg State College hopeful for eight million dollars in appropriations this year for physical expansion of the facilities of the local education institution, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss told a large number of alumni at the annual luncheon and meting. The popularity of the early date for the festivities was is reflected in the fine attendance. The college president said the antiappropriations would be for two men’s dormitories, a dining hall, kitchen and student union and are in cipated addition to a library, now under construction, and an auditorium and men’s dormitory. He observed that the fourteen State Colleges are the only such institutions in the commonwealth that are owned, operated and controlled by the state and that they must be enlarged to meet the demands. Speaking of target dates, he said Bloomsburg had reached, far ahead schedule, the objectivities of the past as to enrollment. First the local schedule called for 2,000 students by 1970 and then this was revised to 3,000 but “we will reach that total four years ahead of the date with only half of the buildings required.” Speaking of things as they are, the educator said “we have to increase our student body each year or our building program will suffer. I am confident that if we obtain the land we will have a university of 6,000 by of 1980. “In this expansion we are going to have to sacrifice some landmarks. I know some of you do not like this, and neither do I, but in a new world there are new things and we ask your indulgence.” Elected to the board of directors for three-year terms were James H. Deily, class of 1941; Mrs. Verna Jones, class of 1926; Raymond Hargraves Dr. William Bittner 1958; III, 1956; and Miss Elizabeth Hubler, 1931. Mrs. Grace Foote Conner, 1934, was named a one year term. The board later ogganized by reelecting Howard F. Fenstemaker, 1912, president; Mrs. Elmer J. McKechnie, 1935, secretary and Earl A. Gehrig, 1936, treasurer. Frank Furgele, class of 1962, Woodrow Wilson High School, Levittown, was named to vice president. The Alumni Association through the Mary McNineh fund of $138,627.47 now student loans $40,910.96. has out in Of these $20,000 were made during the current term. In his report Gehrig also noted there are other funds of $39,642.79. From these funds the association is currently making grants. During the year contributions and earnings yielded $2,059 and from them $570 was paid out in scholarships. In the general operation of the asPage 2 IN 1966 sociation Howard F. Fenstemaker, president, stressed the only funds available are those from dues. He mentioned that the membership has been increasing but the costs are going up and if the association is to continue its present program it must increase its membership at better than the past rate. Those taking out memberships on the campus were reported to total the largest in years. Carl Sheran, president of the class of 1965, presented to the association dues for all members of that class and they were formally voted into membership. Former members of the faculty preThomas P.

Page 3 Dr Hartline Awarded Aptly presented as “the distinguished son of distinguished parents” Dr. Haldan Keffer Hartline, class of 1920, was honored by the Bloomsburg State College Alumni Association by being presented with the distinguished service award during the annual graduate luncheon session in College Commons. The son of a member of the dediadmired “Old cated and genuinely Guard” of “Old Normal”, the late Prof. Daniel S. Hartline, he received from Dr. Kimber C. Kuster, retired faculty member, the award which noted it was presented to “Haldan Keffer Hartline, D. Sc., M.D., member of Rockefeller Institute and professor of biophysics since 1953; recognized for his contributions in pure and applied research in physiology, noteworthy investigations on sense organs of animals and for classical discoveries in the physics D. S. IN BSC Germany, 1929-31, and held a Johnson Foundation Fellowship in medical physics from 1931 tol936. He was an assistant professor of biophysics from 1936 to 1940, associate professor in physiology in the Cornell Medical College, 1940-41, assistant professor in biophysics under the Johnson Foundation at Pennsylvania, 1941-42 and an associate professor there from 1942 to 1948 and a professor in 1949. He was professor and chairman of the department at Johns Hopkins from 1949 to 1953 and he has been a member and professor at Rockefeller Institute since 1953. Dr. Hartline received the Howell award in 1927 and the Warren medal from the National Academy in 1948. He holds membership in numerous scientific societies. especially and biology of visual perception.” In response Dr. Hartline, who was accompanied here by his wife, said the things most difficult to teach are the fundamentals and the bulwark of teaching is shouldered by those who teach the young. He said that science is one of the great contributing factors in society. It is neither good nor evil; it is whatever we make of it and here is where the role of the teacher becomes one of prime importance, he continued. The first requirement of a teacher is that “he must understand his subject and with this there can be no his compromise.” At the present he does comparatively little teaching, and then with graduate students, but he said it is a most enjoyed experience and “teaching, as you know, is not a one-sided experience.” In presenting the honored scientist, Dr. Kuster observed that Dr. Hartline had started his education at Bloomsburg and then, as had his father, continued it at Lafayette. also studied at Johns Hopkins in Germany.

The functions of the class representative are as follows: 1. To keep alive the spirit of the class. To act as a channel through which news of the class may be published in the Alumni Quarterly. 3. To act as agent for the collection of Alumni dues. For every $3 2. dues sent to the representative, the class may keep 75c. If this procedure is effective, and is maintained through the period between reunions, each class may have a sizeable reserve fund to take care of the expenses of its next reunion, if any of the classes have, at prechairman vious reunions, elected a to take care of the arrangements for the next reunion, it is hoped that this person will accept the responsibility of Class Representative. The Alumni Office would appreciate being informed of the names and addresses of these persons. Whether your reunion is in 1966 or 1970, now is the time to begin working. The Alumni Office will be glad to assist in every way possible. three Following the program Dr. and Mrs. Hartline were warmly greeted by many in the College Commons dining hall, some being the scientists’ class- mates at BSC and more having been students of his father and mother. Dr. Hartline received a Bachelor of Science Degree at Lafayette in 1923, a Doctor of Medicine Degree at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, in 1927 and a Doctor of Science Degree at Lafayette in 1959. He held a National Residence Council Fellowship in medical science at Johns Hopkins from 1927 to 1929; was a Johnson traveling scholar from Pennsylvania to Leipsig and Munich, Page DR.

SUPERVISE FROSH GIRLS The Junior Resident Women Advis- ors on the campus of the Bloomsburg State College formed an organization that has gained tremendous importance in a relatively short period of time. The JRA’s are chiefly juniors and seniors whose function is to supervise the activity of freshmen women living in town residences, as well as those on the first floor of the two new women’s residences on campus and those on two floors in Waller Hall. Students apply for JRA positions and are evaluated and selected for a year by a group of college administrators, plus members of the preceding JRA group. To become a JRA, a student must have a two point average or better, and possess those qualifications necessary to be in complete charge of freshmen women. Although the advisors receive compensation for their service, they are more interest ed in the prestige and experience which the opportunity affords. Last year there were ten JRA’s at BSC and this year there are sevenIt is anticipated twenty-five will be used during the 1965-66 College term. According to Miss Ellamae Jackson, dean of women, who holds group meetings as well as the JRA’s, these girls are outstanding and certainly influence the future college life of freshmen students. The present group is keeping a scrap book and preparing a hand book to be used to guide future junior resident advisors. In addition to a very full concert season, the Maroon and Gold Band participated in the first Band Music Reading Clinic which was held on the campus of Bloomsburg State College. And, four members of the band were Intercollegiate in the participants Band Festival held this year at Lock Haven. The members of the Maroon and Gold Band and the director wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the many alumni who have so strongly supported the activities of the band during the past years.

It was also suggested by Dr. Andruss tha a limited numer of students from foreign countries be allowed to attend the State Colleges without paying tuition and other fees in order to promote cultural development and better understanding. In devloping his thoughts on costs to students, Dr. Andruss observed the the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce recommended back in 1957 that “Resi- of the overcost of education at the institution has not increased percentagewise compared to that now placed on the student and thus has closed the door to some because of financial cir- dent tuition and fees, over a period of years, should be placed at a level approximately equal to one-fourth of the annual cost of education at the institution.” The state should supply the other three-fourths of the cost.

If enrollment is to increase in accord with the population increase and the larger percentage who desire to attend college, then there must be a coordinated long range program which facilities will provide the necessary and faculty. The instructional and maintenance phases of the State Colleges are being seriously impaired by the complex and slow moving procedures which state agencies employ for the purchase of equipment and supplies. Dr. Andruss pointed out that California, Illinois and New York have fifty per cent of their young people attending college while in this commonwealth only thirty per cent attend. This situation he attributed to lack of adequate state support of higher education, thus placing more of the financial burden on the student or the student’s family. With regard to construction, he said an accelerated program is needed that would allow the occupancy of a building within two years after it was Today, he pointed out, authorized. in this state it takes more than a year to get an architect appointed and four and a half to six years until the building can be placed in use. With regard to faculty salaries he said the salary schedule in Pennsylvania was reasonably competitive at the time it was conceived but well below the standard of many states before it was implemented by the legislature. The educator also definitely urged a submitted budget for is decreased, the head of th institution be consulted. With regard to a shift in the method of naming trustees he advocated the plan to one that would assure the appointment of individuals interested in the college and divorced from poli- that before the college tics. Dr. Andruss advocated that half of anything left of an appropriation to a college at the end of a fiscal year be retained for the advancement of that institution, pointing out that half of th amount is money which students have paid. face of the rising cost of textbooks he said the Legislature can aid higher education at the state colleges by exempting textbooks from of the college In Page the Hi gram. C. Stuart Edwards, director of admissions, told of the large number of requests for admission to the college. In 1962 there were 3,320 requests for applications. Of these 1,150 individuals complete applications but admissions could be offered to only 650. Three years later, there were 4,800 who requested applications for admission this coming fall and there would have been more had the college not stopped sending forms to those making requests when it was apparent that all who had earlier been supplied could not accomodated. be There were 2,500 who completed and returned the forms but admission can be offered to only 1,000 for September, 1965. Paul G. Martin, business manager, described the burdensome purchasing procedures now required which seriously handicap both the instructional and maintenance programs. He stressed the need for expediting the purchase of supplies and equipment for classroom use, particularly in sciences where the required items are obsolete either used up or become within a short period. Rep. Fred Shupnik, D. Luzerne and a teacher, said it was almost inconceivable that a period of from three to six months should elapse before supplies arrive for classroom use. Adam T. Bower, R. Northumber- land, suppested the possibility that the colleges operate on the calendar rather than fiscal year setup as it present. He felt this plan might help when in making materials available needed. Kenneth Lee, R. Sullivan, questioned purchasing procedures and asked for suggestions to improve them. Dr. Andruss replied that there should be a person in the Department of Public Instruction and or in the Department of Property and Supplies, who knows something about instructional purchases and could expedite purchases for the state colleges. Dr. Andruss and Martin both stress- ed the need for more local autonomy in purchasing. A number of lawmakers were present for the press conference in early afternoon and then toured the campus. The meeting with Dr. Andruss and The other administrators followed. Legislative guests were entertained at dinner at the College. Trustees at the conference and dinner were President William A. Lank; Secretary J. Howard Deily, Bloomsburg; Judge Bernard Kelly, Philadelphia; E. Guy Bangs, Greenwood; Leo Dennan, Exchange and Sam Jacobs, Danville. SUPERVISORS IN CONFERENCE AT COLLEGE The Susquehanna Valley Elementary Supervisors’ Association met in the College Alumni Room with president, Eugene Keifer, elementary supervisor, Selinsgrove, conducting the business session. Nine counties were represented by fifty elementary supervisors and principals. Guests were also present from Bucknell University and College of Misercordia. Boyd Buckingham, Director of Public Relations, extended greetings from the College. Theme for the day’s program was “Listening and Speaking.” Mrs. Iva Mae Beckley, Supervisor of Student Teaching, who was chairman in the day’s program, presented highlights of a report by four national groups on the topic, stating the most frequently used means of communication are listening and speaking. Members of the Benjamin Franklin presented staff Laboratory School techniques and devices for stimulating children in the areas of listening and Miss Beatrice Englehart, speaking.

The amount received in dues was very encouraging, but it was disappointing to note that many did not attend the Alumni luncneon and the meeting that followed. One class, with almost sixty in reunion, had only eight representatives at the luncheon. seemed to be the general comment that the moving of Alumni Day to an was a good idea. Although no definite date for the Alumni Day in 1966 can be announced at this time, the tentative date is May 14. This will avoid conflict with Mother’s Day, and also with some important meetings in It earlier date Bloomsburg.

Parsons compared one of the world’s underdeveloped nations, with the modern countries of our western civilization. “We are actually living in two worlds,” he said. “In one world we find underdeveloped countries where people live as their ancestors did one hundred to several hundred years ago. Their population growth is very rapid and their economy cannot produce enough to feed the people. The second world is the modern western world where we can grow more than we can eat and make more, perhaps, than we can use. Here, advances in the field of health have extended our lives almost beyond comprehension. “Regardless of our political philoexist sophy, can these two worlds side by side without trouble,” Dr. Parsons asked, “when one has so much and the other so little and where one has an enlightened citizenry with well-developed systems of education while the other lacks knowledge because an impoverished economy cannot make sufficient education available?” “It seems quite clear that if the underdeveloped nations are not limited in population growth, something must be done to increase their ability to provide the necessities of life. education!

SEPTEMBER, 1965 Benton school system that man Ray Appleman, identified with the school for almost half a century, forty years as the administrative head of the system, prior to his retirement in 1952. His death occurred in FebL. The educator had an influence for good among his pupils in school and out and it was fitting that when the alumni association set up a scholarship fund in 1955 it was a testimonial to the beloved educator. This pro- gram, now a memorial to Mr. Appleman, is growing yearly. Benton graduates their staged greatest get together this spring and the spirit of the educator was everywhere, and especially near when a portrait of Mi*. Appleman, a work of Mrs. Ralph Herre, was unveiled during the program. It was presented to the school and will hang in “Ray’s workshop” in the years ahead. Nearly a third of the 1,900 graduates contributed through the spring to the association’s scholarship fund and 400 attended the largest annual dinner meeting ever. The association established the scholarship a decade earlier in Mr. Appleman ’s honor. 1915 Class Representative John H. Shu- man, 368 East Main street, is BloomsR. D. 2, Tunkhannock, Pa.

A student from her first first-grade to class, Dr. Charles Baltimore, a Pitts- burgh psychiatrist, praised the start she had given him in learning. “I started him on reading,” she said proudly. Several score former students had similar praise for the good beginnings they had in her classrooms. In his talk, Dr. David Porter, assistant city superintendent told the audience of 300: of schools, “The admirable influence of Miss Dennis has been felt not only by her students, but her fellow teachers and by myself.” Dr. Glenn Pai'ker, superintendent, had similar words of praise. Miss Dennis was presented a bouquet of flowers by her youngster student Robert Moore, 12-year-old Downey sixth grader. She also was praised for founding — the PTA movement began at Downey.

Mr. Coffman, a World War I veteran, has been active in the American Legion and in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Millville. He has also been a leader in many civic endeavors. The educator bears a distinction of having served as commander of three different American Legion Posts, Valley of Bloomsburg 273; Arthur Bardo Post 460, Millville, and that of Flemington, N. J. A graduate of the Bloomsburg State College, then a Normal School, in 1925, he obtained his B.S. degree from Bucknell University in 1929 and his Master of Science in Education degree, as a teacher-in-service, in 1940 from the same educational institution. During his eight-year tenure in Flemington the trial of Richard Bruno Hauptman for the Lindbergh kidnapping was held there. Over the prolonged trial there were sixty boys absent from school, being employed as messengers by the press and that, he recalled, required some adjustments in the school program. He also remembers that during the trial he had to detour to and from school. His shortest route was by the court house but this was closed to general traffic— pedestrian and vehicular during the trial. Coffman started his long and successful tenure at Millville in 1937. He was principal of the school from 1937 through 1946 and from then until his retirement was in the science department of the school. During the spring he was honored by the local branch of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and more recently by the Millville Joint Teachers at a dinner session at which he was presented with a gift. 1927 Vivian Page 10 Jermy (Mrs. Asam Malburn Lime (Mrs. 821 North Street, Lancaster, Pa. 17602.

Here one of Mr. Barton's recollections having to do with the gym show: “In my senior year, the boys’ gym is was assigned, for the gymexhibit, an intricate figure march to execute. The column carefully sized, with the smallest to lead, put at the front. At some place in executing figures something went wrong. I was unable to say what, but to our extreme chagrin, Paof.

The answer to this question depends on the cooperation, planning, and understanding by everyone concerned, especially the citizens of the Town of Bloomsburg. To promote this understanding and cooperation, Mr. William A. Lank, President of the Board of Trustees, suggested a meeting of the College with selected community leaders from Bloomsburg and the surrounding area, which was held in the College Commons on November 3, 1985. The opening address stressing the economic importance of the College to the Town of Bloomsburg was delivered by Mr. Lank. The main presentation by the President of the College indicated that in the last decade (1955-1965) the enrollment has trebled from 900 to 2,800 fulltime undergraduate students, and the payroll for faculty and non-instructional personnel increased 600%. Projecting to 1975, the College is seeking to double the 1965 enrollment to 5,600 full-time undergraduates and possibly 400 parttime students. If we are to achieve an enrollment of 6,000 students, we shall need more land and additional construction. Presently, Senate Bill 1122 provides approximately $10 million dollars for land acquisition, a dormitory for 672 men, a science and classroom building, a dining hall and kitchen, and funds to extend utilities and provide parking facilities. Also requested and included in Senate Bill 1122 are funds to plan and design a dormitory for 400 women, gymnasium, classroom building, and a maintenance building. The construction of these projects would begin in the 19671969 biennium at an approximate cost of $5,327,000. A new student center and additional land purchases are included in the development funds of this Senate Bill. Bloomsburg State College must expand the campus landwise and buildingwise. If the necessary land and construction are provided, and if we have cooperation and understanding with the Town of Bloomsburg, we can look to an exciting decade of growth and the continuance of service to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Cordially, j ^ - President BSC TODAY Bloomsburg Sttae College has taken significant strides toward becoming a multi-purpose institution providing more extensive opportunities in higher education to citizens of the Keystone State in the little more than five years since the General Assembly passed legislation changing the fourteen State Teachers Colleges to State Colleges. Bloomsburg now offers courses leading to the Master’s Degree in business education, elementai-y education, special education for teachers of the mentally retarded, speech correction, social studies (including geography), English, and biology. There are 138 graduate students who completed registration to continue their graduate program this semester. Undergraduate students enrolled in the Arts and Sciences division now number approximately ten per cent of the enrollment. These students, who first began their studies in September, 19G3, will earn the Bachelor of Arts degree in either the natural sciences, the social sciences, or the humanities. A new program of service to the community, night courses for adults was on September initiated 13 the college began the 1965-1966 demic year.

Prior to final registration there were 133 adults enrolled in the five courses offered plus a long CONFERENCE AT BSC The Nineteenth Annual Conference Teachers and Administrators was held at Bloomsburg State College on Friday and Saturday, October 22-23. The general session featuring Dr. John I. Goodlad, professor and director of the University Elementary School, University of California, was held on Saturday. His topic was “School Curriculum Reform in the for United States.” Following registration Friday, separate addresses were heard by each of the four education divisions.

On the basis of present circumstances, it is likely that course offerings will be expanded in future semesters. Highlighting the growth of the institution has been the annual increase in total enrollment. There are currently 2,838 fill-time and 126 parttime undergraduate students, an increase of nearly 450 over the number enrolled a year ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Albright gave the check as an expression of their appreciation for the kindnesses extended to them by Dean Elton Hunsinger, Dr. Herre and the Day Men’s Association at the time of their bereavement. The Albrights said Bruce had saved the money for the furtherance of his eduat Bloomsburg, and they felt it should be used for a purpose similar to that for which it was originally in- cation tended. In accepting the check, Dr. Herre stated, “This is one of the most heartening manifestations of interest in our student body that I have seen on the part of a parent in my many years of association with the local college. It is an indication not only of the interest which Bruce W. Albright had in securing a college education but also an indication of the generosity and thoughtfulness of his parents.” FACULTY PROMOTIONS Promotions in rank for fifteen mem- bers of the faculty were announced by Dr. Harvey A.

The new board would report to the Council of Higher Education for overall policy guidelines and for its budget and would have necessary staff responsible to the board. At its annual meeting in Harrisburg, the council, which represents the alu- mni of the colleges, commended Gov- ernor Scranton, the State Council of Higher Education, the State Board of Education and the Legislature for their combined support of and interest in the fourteen state colleges Pennsylvania’s public higher education. Following the meeting, the Council’s newly-elected president, Ernest C. Aharrah, Clarion State College, said, “The support of these leaders proves tha the pressing demands of our state colleges can be met iby united, deter- — mined efforts.” The alumni group singled out the Governor for special commendation for the Administration-backed carry- over bill which appropriates to each money not spent during fiscal 1964. Scranton was also praised for his support of a new faculty salary schedule and for pushing an accelerated $135 million construction program at the colleges. The State Planning Board and the Council of Higher Education were also instrumental in formulating this procollege gram which Bill 1122. is embodied in Senate The Council of Alumni has urged the legislature to pass this in order to provide adequate facilities for thousands of college- measure bound young Pennsylvanians. The legislators were commended for passing bills granting the state colleges 100 per cent of their budget requests. The Council of Higher Education was also lauded for its “continuing deep interest in the fourteen state colleges of Pennsylvania.” Once again, the Council of Alumni were on record urging that the 14 state colleges be granted autonomy in the conduct of their fiscal affairs, the adoption of curricula and the recruitment and appointment of faculty. »;J To implement these resolutions, the Council has called for a leadership conference composed of all those concerned with the creation of a stronger state college system. It would bring together the presidents of the 14 schools; representatives of their faculty association; college trustees; Governor Scranton and several of his predecessors; officials from the Department of Public Instruction; the Council of Higher Education; legislative leaders, and representatives of Page 2 WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR .ADDRESS chambers of commerce from the areas wher ethe colleges are located. The Council also adopted a motion It you restating its position that the 14 state colleges are Pennsylvania’s only public higher educational institutions and they should receive first consideration when tax monies are allocated to higher education. The Council of Alumni maintains that sufficient funds for the state colleges are available, if the money is used first for these schools and only secondarily for state-aided and private institutions. President Aharrah said, “When the legislature allocates funds for state-aided and private institutions it should place the same controls on this money that it does on disbursements to the state colleges.” The Council’s executive committee has been authorized to create a steering committee of stale college cases. The committee, which would coordinate all those groups interested in the activity in behalf of the schools, will consist of the officers of the Council of Alumni and its advisory board; officers of the state college’s trustees association; faculty association officers; the four college presidents appointed to work with the council and the Governor; officers of the state student government movement; officials of chambers of commerce in the affected areas, and others who might be of service. Also elected at the annual meeting were: Dr. Rufus C. Johnson, Cheyney State College, vice president; Michael Zahorchak, Edinboro State College, secretary and Mrs. Karl B. Etshied, West Chester State College, treasurer. Named to the executive committee were Millard C. Ludwig, Bloomsburg State College and Edward H. Young, Lock Haven State College. Leon Lunn of Mansfield State College, president of the organization for four years will now serve in an ex-officio capacity on the executive committee. Continuing as executive committee members are Sam Furguiele, Indiana State College and Wallace Kerr, Slippery Rock State College. 1, During the fiscal year ending July 1965, the Alumni of the Millers ville State College contributed $4,003.57 to the Carillon Project and $5,098.02 to the Loan Fund, making a total NDEA of $9,101.59.

Goodlad, director of the University Elementary School, University of California, Los Angeles, in an address to nearly 600 teachers and administrators who attended the general session of the Nineteenth annual Education Conference at Bloomsburg State College recently. Dr. Goodlad began his discussion of ways to design the learning environment in small elementary schools by presenting four basic propositions. schools and Bloomsburg State College, is a business education teacher in West Morris Regional High School, Chester, N.

These, he noted, are no longer thought of as being irrevocably fixed. The main deterrent to the full realization of a person’s abilities is heavily anchored in his environment. This demonstrates the need to change the environment for learning at all levels of the educational process. He suggested that all school practices should be geared to revealing individual differences at all times and never trying to conceal or disguise these differences. Dr. Goodlad noted the vertical and horizontal organization of the school constitutes a good place to begin redesigning because school organization shackles or unshackles so many things and is almost completely subject to manipulation by the local educators.

The district was offered three choices from a list of schools for American dependents which have recently been organized and have requested the assistance of a School-toSchool sponsor. From the suggested list, Dr. Btiner chose Tunis, and State Department A officials arranged the exchange. grant of $10,000 was made by the Department of State through the American Embassy in Tunis to the American Cooperative School in that city Peter J.

The present membership is about 1800, which shows progress. However, this figure still represents about twenty percent of the potential. The dues from the present membership will be barely sufficient to take care of the running expenses of the Association. We must again be reminded that neither the principal nor the income of the loan funds can be used for this purpose. At the meeting of the Board in October, there was some discussion of the advisability of offering special bargain rates, in order to secure One more members. women on the Board later expressed the opinion that membership in the Association should not be cheapened, and that Alumni should consider it an honor and a privilege to be enrolled as an active member. of the Some of the other Alumni Associations of the Pennsylvania State Colleges meet runand your President would favor ning expenses. This is such a procedure if these gifts reach a figure equal to, or somewhat greater than the present income. A voluntary annual gift of only one dollar from 5,000 Alumni would make this possible, with a surplus that could be used each year for projects that would be beneficial to the College. have abolished dues, and are depending on annual voluntary gifts to a very desirable goal, You are urged to give careful consideration to this matter.
