ALMA MATER
Bloomsburg State
Stand proud against thy foes,
Let victory thy colors see
While honor be thy goal;
Maroon and Gold
Let none thy fame berate,
As forward on to victory
Goes Bloomsburg State!

Bloomsburg State
We proudly sing to thee
Of glories and of honors
That have framed thy majesty;
Though we '11 depart
Not one will hesitate
To pledge his lifelong loyalty
To Bloomsburg State!
Music and Lyrics by
Donald Messimer '70

PROFESSOR ROBERT KOSLOSKY
Professor Robert Koslosky, a member of the faculty of the Department of Art at Bloomsburg State College since
1970, was one of nine professors in the State College and University system to be awarded the Distinguished Teaching
Chair for the 1974-75 academic year. He was honored in recognition of his competence in teaching art on many different
levels, ranging from the intellectually superior to the retarded child. The area of his teaching which has attracted the most
attention is the level of art in special education. He has made presentations at the local, state, and national levels and has
been a participant in two international seminars in art and human behavior.
Professor Koslosky is a graduate of Kutztown State College where he received both his bachelor's and master's degrees.
He is currently enrolled in the doctorate program of art education at Penn State University.

BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE
Bloomsburg State College, one of 14 Commonwealth-owned colleges and universities, began as an Academy in 1839
"to teach youth the elements of a classical education." In 1856 it was chartered as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute,
and in 1869 it became a State Normal School.
The school was purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1916, and in 1920 teacher education became
the sole institutional purpose. The name was changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1927, and authority was
granted to offer the degree, Bachelor of Science in Education. In 1960 the institution became Bloomsburg State College,
with authorization to grant the degree, Bachelor of Arts, for liberal arts programs in the humanities, social sciences, and
natural sciences. That same year graduate study was authorized.
The college currently offers 60 baccalaureate degree programs in the Arts and Sciences, Business, and Professional
Studies and at the graduate level the college has 29 masters degree programs. Through the School of Extended Programs,
the college offers educational opportunities to people of all ages who wish to pursue knowledge for professional advancement or for their own enrichment.
Today, 224 young people are receiving baccalaureate degrees; 51 are receiving masters degrees.
