FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

A MESSAGE

Hon. C. William Kreisher
(Address delivered at the Testimonial Dinner, March 15, 1C63, celebrating
the Twentieth Anniversary of Dr. Harvey A. Andruss as President of the

Bloomsburg State (Teachers)

College.)

MR. CHAIRMAN, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS

AND FRIENDS:

have been selected by the Faculty Association who initiated the movement unfolding here tonight, to accept on behalf of our college the porI

are here to pay tribute to a great college president who has devoted twent;.
years of his life to the outstanding development of the college on the hill.

of the college more than ten years ago.
It is embarrassing to a good man to be praised and such a man does not need praise.
One of my favorite quotations from Emerson is: “Don't tell me what you are, because
what you are speaks so loud, I cannot hear you.”
In September of 1959, a series of articles appeared in The Morning Press of Bloomsburg dealing with the first twenty years of the administration of our guest as President

of the college.
In January of this year, a booklet containing these articles was
published with the frontpiece containing a picture and an exhaustive biographical and achievement sketch of our guest of honor.

Believing I am justified in giving everyone present here tonight credit the ability to read, deters me from reviewing the
contents of this revealing report.
When a lawyer stands up in argument court and proceeds to
read to the Court his brief of the case, it comes as sort of an
affront because we assume the lawyer is taking the position that
either the judge is so unlearned that he cannot read, or that the
brief is the work of somebody else and the lawyer is taking the
Court’s time to inform himself about the case.
Therefore, I leave the record as it is written, as it is a proud
record which requires no embellishment and ask your indulgence
but for a moment of some more personal observations of our
guest of honor which I have come to know after more than 150
lengthy and sometimes heated deliberations by the Board of
Trustees in session regularly convened.
My admiration and respect for our guest of honor tonight
flows not from one source, but like a great river which becomes
great by reason of the many tributaries which flow into it.
A profound commentator on Washington said, “He was great
not because of his talents, but because he possessed the character

saying of mine whenever I ran for office:
‘‘No man is big enough for any office unless he is big enough to
get along without that office.”
I
meant that a man who can
exist happily without the office he is seeking will, if he attains
the office, be likely to discharge the duties of that office with
courage, fidelity and efficiency. Sometimes an office or position

gives a man an opportunity to prove his greatness, but his real
greatness is in himself and not in the office or position he occupies.

Our guest tonight could worthily fill any position and I know
that he appraises more highly than the position he holds, the respect and esteem of his fellowmen which he possesses in such
full

measure.

and has been an educator and administrator, but he has been much more.
His vigor, hopes and vision
have been centered on this institution and to bring about the
reality of his dreams, he has been an accountant, an architect,

worker for his institution.
a

Never once in all these years has he failed to have his agenda ready for the board, with prompt and courteous explanations
of his plans and dreams and then the courage and ability to carry them through even though it required many trips to our state
capitol and protracted arguments with the powers that be, but
he somehow got the job done.
There is no substitute for hard work and when one believes

cause like our guest has always believed, there is no room
We respect a person who studies his plan thoroughly and who, when he comes to a conclusion, states and fights
for that conclusion unhesitating.
The general who equivocates
and hesitates is generally lost. I have read in a military book
that, "A general who makes a wrong decision, but who carries it
out with vigor and energy, is far superior to a general who

hesitates.”

My experience with Dr. Andruss has been that after he thoroughly studies his plan of attack and comes to a conclusion he
maintains it with vigor and persuasiveness, however always retaining his gentlemanly conduct and fairness.
In honoring Dr. Andruss tonight, we might feel that we are
honoring ourselves, because we might say we all helped in one
way or another even though to a much less degree, but our real
purpose tonight is to pay tribute to and say “thank you" to the
one who deserves the real praise, without forgetting, however,

greatly to her husband’s success. Probably the only regret Dr.
Andruss has for the many laborious days and nights he has
given to his institution is that these hours deprived him of just

that the honors he receives he gladly shares with his wife because she helped him earn them.

genuine ability himself, the ability of others never excites in
him either envy or enmity. He would never attempt to raise his
own mental or moral stature by belittling others.
No matter how absurd or how obvious the answer to a board
member’s question may be, he always says, “Now, that's a good
question” and at once proceeds with a willing and plausible
explanation.

measure words, but pouring them all right out just as they arc

In the presence of Dr. Andruss, one feels that he can “tiling
out loud with safety." Confidence reposed in him is never betrayed. His accurate sense of life’s values is a blessed virtue and
the honor given him tonight is truly justly deserved.
There are many other things I would like to mention if time
permitted, such as the artist, portrait, and other fine attributes
and traits of character of our guest which I have left unmentioned, but I feel it is now time for me to join with all those
present in saying, “Thank you, Dr. Andruss, and our very best

This is the largest total amount
ever allocated to the Bloomsburg
State College in addition to the
regular operating budget. In fact,
it is twice any previous amounts
contemplated.

When the operating budget of
$3,113,560 is added to the amounts
previously listed tor construction,
the tmount totals $5,943,560 for
$6,943,560 for 1959-1961, depending upon the number of dormitories to be constructed.
The future of the Bloomsburg
State College, so far as its function is concerned, has not yet been
determined, but these changes will
mean that there will be facilities
for a larger number of students
than are now enrolled. It is expected that die enrollment will reach
2,000 by 1962.

GRADUATE DEGREE
More than five hundred college
graduates have expressed interest
in enrolling for courses leading to
a graduate degree at the Bloomsburg State College. This report
was given to President Harvey A.
Andruss bv a faculty committee,
headed by Professor Clayton Ilinkel.
The committee is conducting
a survey to determine the number
of people who are interested in
enrolling for graduate courses at
Bloomsburg when the proposed
program is approved by the State
Council of Education.
Since mid-September, nearly 825
teachers-in-service have reported
to the college that they are interested in working for graduate degrees in Elementary, Special, Busi-

and Secondary Education. I:i
the latter division, inquiries have
been received concerning available
ness,

graduate courses in Mathematics,
Science, Languages, Social Studies

and English.
Subsequent reports from Mr.
Hinkel’s committee will be announced at future dates, indicating ad-

numbers of individuals
are interested in the program.
In the meantime, the committee
prepared this and other data for
the February, 1960, visit of a committee of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools.

analysis the extent to which the college meets its obligations is directly related to the

in

Har-

risburg, President Harvey A. Andruss of Bloomsburg State College

spoke to Task Force 4, Teacher
Education.
Doctor Andruss made certain
proposals: first, those that would
require legislation; and second,
those that would require certain
administrative changes under present legislation.
Dr. Andruss pointed out that
higher education has now become
a matter of concern in the nation,
since many of the technological,
economic and administrative advantages are dependent upon the
best brains in the country, which
are now being educated in our
colleges.

Turning to teacher education
and noting that Pennsylvania has a
larger proportion of its total
ber of colleges engaged in

numthis

than any other state in the
union, Dr. Andruss noted that out
of the total of eighty odd colleges,
seventy have the authority to train

field

teachers; however, ten colleges and
universities
train
less
than ten
teachers each year, which means
that they have the authority but do
Furnot carry out the function.
thermore, eight of this group are

not accredited by a Regional Association, and only eighteen of the
seventy are accredited by the Na-

of

versities.
If higher education is a part of
National policy and defense, then
institutions
educating
teachers
should meet the requirements for

accreditation
and the
Pennsylvania State Council of Education should require every institution, training teachers in Pennsylvania, to meet the requirements
within ten years.
Among the other suggestions
made by Dr. Andruss were the
following:
1.
The present State Council of

national

Education should have its memnine
increased
from
to
twenty - one members; two
Councils within this body should
be constituted, one with seven
members for the Council on Elementary and Secondary Education,
and another with seven members
for the Council on Higher Edu-

bership

Legislation should be passed

within thirty or sixty days all vacancies which occur on the boards

3.

The

Presidents of State Col-

on nominations of boards of
trustees, should receive their final
appointment from the State Superleges,

should be wiped out through passage of a law to repeal this section.

Speaking about the relations of
State Colleges to certain Departments of State Government, with
the exception of the Department
of Public Instruction but dealing
more particularly with he Department of Property and Supplies,
there should be introduced again,
that passed the Senate but
failed to pass the House last year.
This bill provided that one-half of
any funds, lapsed at the end of a
biennium, should be credited to
Dr. Andruss
the next biennium.
a bill

urged passage of

this

legislation,

since one-half of the budgets of
the State Colleges are paid by students for instruction and housing,
and the amounts the students pay
for these specific purposes should
not be thrown into the general
treasury to balance off shortages
in other areas of State Govern-

ment.

Another piece of Legislation was
have permitted State Collgees
to purchase goods and services up
to $500 and to have taken bids and
awarded contracts for repairs and
renovations not to exceed $12,000.

following the address of the featured speaker, Dr. Harvey A. AndBloomsburg

and

British Ministry of Education, a research post at the
Russian Research Center at Harvard, and a
teaching post at Boston College.

“Man asked God for the book
and went on to rule the world because back of the book there is the
teacher,” Dr. Bereday
told
the
members of the class.
“On one side we as teachers
have been chastised for not teaching Americans about organized
knowledge. On the other hand the
stories of the ingenuity and the energy of the people of this nation
are abundant.”
The speaker listed a variety of

He urged the graduates to balance themselves, to be aware of

these critics hold teachers in contempt. They are too apt, also, to
suggest glib answers for the problems of education. Teachers as human beings suffer from the terrible
temptations of trying to remold
the world into the shape they like
and think is best.
“We need teachers who are alive
and stimulating,” he asserted and
reminded the graduates that .what
they see at eye level is never good
enough. “Your actions are just as
important in private life as they
are in public life.”
He decried the American who
sits back and points to achievement
rather than looking ahead to the
many other things which can be

done.

“Our aim as teachers is to use
our talents to mold and to create.”
The candidates for degrees were
recognized at the commencement
as the degrees were conferred by
Dr. Harvey A. Adruss, president.
After the ceremonies the graduates in the various divisions went
to designated places on the campus where the certificates were
department
presented
by
the
heads.
This feature, new this year, gave
a personal touch.
It also allowed
for the taking of photographs by
parents and friends. Those in business education got their awards
from Dr. Thomas B. Martin at Sutliff Hall; those in elementary education from Royce O. Johnson at
Ben Franklin School, and those in

secondary education from George
Fike and in special education from
Donald F. Maietta at the gymnasium.

“Most American parents and
family members want the best for
their children and this desire is not
limited by the race, color, creed
or wealth of the parent.”
In answer to critics, he said he
wanted to point out that too many
people who want to run the
schools do not have the knowledge
and the background to suggest

INCREASE IN HOUSING RATE
The Board of Trustees of the
Bloomsburg State College, acting
compliance with Act No. 730
passed by the 1959 Legislature requesting that dormitory room rental fees be increased not to exceed
$3 per week, has approved an inin

crease in the Housing rate from
$504 ($324 food, $180 room and
laundry) to $540 ($324 food, $216
room only) effective September,
1960.
This means that personal
laundry service will no longer be
offered by the College to students
Effective June 1, 1961, the Housing rate will be raised to $576
($324 food, $252 room).
This action relates only to the future polto room rentals, and
makes no prediction regarding fu-

icy relating

ture food costs.
These increases are subject to
change if the cost of food service
is increased.
This action by the Bloomsburg
Board of Trustees follows a rec-

Dr. John Bakeless, son of the

an author, journalist, scholar, educator, lecturer, and soldier.
In
the autumn of 1959 he visited
Bloomsburg, and during a lecture
at the college, discussed some of
the historical material which he
has collected for a book which has
since been published.
Several years ago, following the
death of Professor Bakeless, his
daughter, Mrs. Alex Nason, Cleveland, presented Bloomsburg State
College with a $2,500 gift in memory of her father. This money was
used as the nucleus of the present
Bakeless Loan Fund for students.

Speaking to nearly 350 guests
at the Thirtieth Anniversary Banquet of the Division of Business
Education held in the College
Commons, its founder, President
Harvey A. Andruss, of Bloomsburg
State College, used the subject of
“Thirty Years After.”
In sketching the thirty years
after 1930, Doctor Andruss also
took a peek into the future in
terms of thirty years after 1960 in
the field of Business Education,
pointing out that the Division of
Business Education changed its
housing on the campus about every
fifteen years.

decades by faculty members of the

and emphasizes the continued experimentation and research upon
which future graduate programs in
Business Education will be based.

While declining to pose as a prophet, Doctor Andruss indicated
that the present status of Business
Education in secondary schools
will change rapidly in the next
three decades. As the high schools
become larger and there are more
vocational curriculums of the type
of Business, Home Economics, Ag-

Trade and Industrial Education, the proportionate number
of students in Business is declining.

A projected

been suggested and outlined by a

some question whether a skeleton

curriculum in the secondary school.
Closing the survey of what to
expect in Business Education in
the thirty years after I960, Doctor Andruss mentioned that a research study, originally made by
William C. Forney, formerly Director of the Department of Business
Education in 1931, was repeated in
1941 and again in 1951 by Clayton
H. Ilinkel.

Since the expansion of private

expected that these high cost institutions will be able to expand
only at one-third to one-half the

the public institutions to expand in
order to meet even a part of the
need.
In fact, the Harrisburg

articles “Educational Stalemate.

There are many cross currents in
our operation. For instance, a prediction of the Department of Public Instruction, that the demand for

Mr. Chairman,

Dr. Andruss, Dean
our beloved teacher and friend,

fellow Alumni.

There is at least a little spark of
sentiment in the heart of each one of
us today for our Alma Mater, else we
would not be here. Without the bonds
of friendship, and the sentiment of
memories of days gone by, there would
be no golden golden reunion for the
class of 1910, nor would the rest of
you be attending your reunion. I hope
this day will be all you have looked
forward to in anticipation of these
events.

I venture to say that these thoughts

we recall our schooldays here, and

The development of State Colleges in the direction of offering

basis, to student in Arts, Sciences,
Business Administration, Journalism and other fields, should be
launched only after a State-wide
study has been made to determine
the needs of youth and the demands for college preparation
which are not now being met by
existing institutions.
After these
demands are determined, State
Colleges may undertake these responsibilities but this is a second
and subsequent step and should
not be attempted at this time, according to the best judgment of
the speaker.

At the present time, the students
of State Colleges are paying a larger proportion of the cost of their

THE CAMPUS
The

original plot for the Literary Institute
was a plot of 3 acres, now occupied by Carver
Hall and Waller Hall.
The east boundary was a line beginning at
what is now Second Street and running on a
line which started at about midway between
the east end of the Commons and the present
Training School, and extended North to Light

Street Road.

Above this line Dillon

THE BUILDINGS
Waller Hall was built when the Institution became a Normal School. It ended at a
point near the present P. O. for the College.
Carver Hall and Noetling Hall were connected by a covered bridge. The Auditorium
had no Gallery. No long porch and no Gymnasium existed. The present Library was
the Dining Room for Teachers and Boarding Students. Long tables, with a member of
the Faculty at the head of each table, seated twelve students.
The Kitchen was to the left as you entered the Dining Room.
The Heating Plant was under the Auditorium, with a tall brick chimney at the S. E.
corner. The Gym was built about 1891.

STUDENT LIFE
I was surprised to find many
rules in force to regulate the Student Body.
No student could loiter in the Halls or Grounds to “intercommunicate” with each other.
Passing from classroom to the Auditorium or to another class must be in single file.
Teachers stood at class room doors to note any infraction of Rules. Demerits were
recorded by the Faculty for getting out of line. A certain number was punishable by confining the Student to the campus, or, if the number reached a certain size, the student was
sent home for an enforced vacation.
Two Literary Societies, each having its own room located on the first floor of Waller
Hall. Committees were allowed to meet to arrange Programs for Saturday evening meet-

Needless to say many meetings were held by Committees. If you were on good
terms with the President of the Society, proper selections of the Committee made it possible to select students known to be admirers of each other and proper selections were
made.
D. J. Waller was appointed State Superintendent of Education in 1890 and J. P. Welsh
became Principal of the Normal School.
A new era in the life of Students began. Students were allowed to mingle together.
It took some time to feel at ease if you walked to class with one of the opposite sex. The
student body gradually began to mingle and life no longer became a clandestine existence

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

Everything was in order
for a big start and then, just on
the eve of the opening, Danks died
suddenly, victim of a heart attack.

Hoch, at the request of the

Mansfield in a bruising scoreless
battle at Athletic Park in the opener, lost the next three and then
finished out with 4 wins in a row
to give the Huskies the first 10
consecutive seasons of winning

University School of Medicine, and
by Dr. H. Keffer Hartline, Rockefeller Institute.

a native of Bloomsburg and a graduate of the local College. Within
the past year he was one of the
men honored by Lafayette College
of which he is also an alumnus.
Wtih regard to the microbes
from other planets, the scientists
said that once on earth these micProf,

ro-organisms could proliferate rapidly and pose a danger to agricul-

and perhaps humans.
The view was given by the space
science board of the National Academy of Science. As a matter of
“precautionary wisdom,” it said,
great care should be taken in esture

tablishing direct contact with planets
and a “stringent embargo”
should be placed against the “pre-

mature return

of

samples

from

planets.

Dr. Lederberg and Dr. Hartline
issued tlie warning in a report entitled ‘The Biological Sciences and
Space Research.” It is a part of a
series being made by the board to
outline

new

frontiers in space re-

search.
It

emphasized that the explora-

of
planets,
including the
search for forms of life, could be
expected “to give us new insights
into the origin and evolution of
the physical universe and of the
chemical phenomena that consti-

rotation of the earth.
However, the report went on,
biological research in space should

aim ultimately at exploration for
life on planets and the moon, first,
with unmanned instruments, and
later by the retrieving of samples.
While such samples “would
definitely be the most informative
means for the advancement of
planetary science,” the report said,
they would “also introduce the
risk of back-contamination” by extra-terrestial micro-organisms.
The risk “cannot be decisively
evaluated within the framework of
our present knowledge of planetary biology,” it stressed, but it is
of “particular concern” because of
“the unique capability of living orespecially
micro-organism, to proliferate rapidly and oc-

ganisms,

cupy new habitats.”
For the same reason, the report
said, steps should be taken to sterilize space ships so they would not
contaminate planets or the moon
with terrestial fonns of life.
It added, however, that this risk
was far less potent than the risk
of “bringing trouble home” and th<*

A new method of notifying parents and students of grades earned

described by Dean Hoch. It was
noted that both parents and students are notified at any time of
the year when a student’s grades

Dr. Andruss reminded the parents that the College is a State

Requests For Buildings For 14 State Colleges
When the Legislature of Pennsylvania convenes in January, 1961,
requests will be considered for
new buildings to be constructed
on campuses of the fourteen state
colleges.

During the last decade, the private arts colleges have increased
25 percent in enrollment, Pennsylvania State University 53 percent,
while the State (Teachers) Colleges have 63 percent more students than in 1950. It is evident
that continued increases in the enrollment of college students will
be met largely, in the future, by
state-owned

and

state-supported
institutions of higher education.

Constant planning for future
construction must continue.
The
Department of Public Instruction,
represented by Dr. Harold Alderfer, is bringing together members
of a committee, designated by the
Governor’s Office of Administration, State Planning Board, and
Budget Secretary to meet with the
President and representatives of
each State College.

Dr. Russell appeared before a
Congressional Committee hearing,
Washington, D. C., May 7, 1959,
where he presented testimony to
confirm the evidence that Samuel
Wilson gave his nickname of
“Uncle Sam” to the United States
of America.
The House of Representatives
approved such a bill in May, 1959.
The Senate Public Lands Subcommittee passed the measure on February 27, 1960. The Senate Interior Committee and the full Senate
are now expected to vote favorably
on this bill, preliminary to its passage into a law.
Samuel Wilson, who is said to

APPLICATIONS FOR LOANS
During the year from Julj 1,
1959, to June 30, 1960, there were
344 applications from students at
Bloomsburg State College who
wished to borrow money, in the
amount of almost $100,000. This is
a part of the National Defense

made by

Loan Program. Male students requested about $75,000 and women
students about $25,000.
Since this amount was not available, a committee, headed by Dr.
Donald D. Rabb, approved loans
for 280 students in the amount of
approximately $60,000, of which
$45,000 was loaned to men and

$150,000, either in loans or in money to be loaned; it is available to
both Junior and Senior students,
without interest, to the amount of
$500. It is interesting to note that
some students have used the Fed-

fashioning of the outline of plans

While new buildings have made
possible an increase in enrollment
Irom 1600 to 1750 this year, and
have provided areas for improving
and extending the program of instruction, the past year has marked important developments that
are not readily apparent on the
surface. Accompanying the growth
in enrollment was an increase in
the number of faculty from 83 to
105. The position of Dean of Students was added to the administrative staff to coordinate the details

of

social

living

and student

personal.

Curriculum revision, graduate
and accreditation were given special attention. As a result,
the College has been granted con-

studies,

tinuing accreditation as a fouryear, degree-granting institution,
and a program ot graduate studies
leading to the Master of Education
degree in either business or elementary education, will get underway in June, 1061. The College
has made its first annual contribution to the Bloomsburg Public Library in recognition of services
rendered to college students. This
amount will increase each year as
the number of students increase.

The Alumni Loan Fund has been
boosted to more than $150,000 by

Shippensburg tied the score

In the last minutes Scott took a

WHAT CAN
I

DO TO HELP

BLOOMSBURG?

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

Miss Ethel Ranson, long a valued teacher at BSC, has found in
retirement a hobby which has become a profession creating interest
and clients throughout the world.
Miss Ranson

a record of never losing a piece ot

Orders for broken cups are most

To meet

this

demand

she has formed a unique method
of substitution for the regular cup
that is almost fool-proof.
If the
cup handle is intact, she can cement it to a bullion cup of the
same pattern, and presto — there’s
a new cup.
Since there is little
call for the bullion cups today, the
supply takes up the slack for the
hard-to-find teacups.

Where does she get all her
china? At auctions, private sales,
antique stores, through the grapevine with other collectors, magazine advertisements and individu-

who just walk in the front door.
During World War II, operations at the Haviland factory in
France closed, which made Haviland china owners possessors of
heirlooms. After the war, two of
the Haviland brothers, Frederick
and Theodore, began manufacturing china in this country, which

Second,

would seem that

this Commonwealth would have to arrange
the relative claims of these three classes of institutions in some preferential
it

order.

Third, a general survey discloses that the relative
tions has been changing in the past decade.

amount

of appropria-

Formerly, the per capita appropriation to State Teachers Colleges amounted to twice as much per student as it did to what was then Pennsylvania State
College. In more recent years, this two-to-one relationship has been reversed,
and in the last Session of the Legislature, Pennsylvania State University received twice as much per student as did the Pennsylvania State Colleges.
Fourth, if the length of the list of private institutions receiving public
monies continues to grow with the addition of one or two colleges, universities,
or professional schools at each Session of the Legislature, in time, the amounts
of appropriations for private institutions will exceed the amounts allocated
to Pennsylvania State University and Pennsylvania State Colleges.
It would seem reasonable that there should be an accountability on the
part of the institution and a report to the State as to the uses to which
appropriations are put.
Fifth, the relative costs to students, whose parents have incomes in the
middle economic brackets, should receive consideration, since the State’s
chief concern is to provide higher education opportunity for those of its
youth whose parents are not able to pay their way.
Sixth, the present budget being considered bv the Legislature provides
$530 per student per year; the student pavs an additional $212 per year, providing a total of $742 to cover the cost of instruction for each student enrolled
in September, 1960. in the fourteen Pennsylvania State Colleges.
This amount is not adequate. In 1957-1958. a survey was made of the
instructional costs for one year in 268 public colleges and universities in the
United States: of these. 96 were Teachers Colleges. The average amount
expended was $323 per student. Certainlv, with inflation at work in a four
year period, this amount would be expected to reach or exceed $900. Fortyone of the 96 Teachers Colleges, which were used as a basis for the computation resulting in $823 per year, were located in the Middle Atlantic and New

England

States.

Seventh,

not

made

for increased enrollments in September,
by at least 10% over September,
then the amount of dollars available per student will be even less than
$530, which is not adequate to maintain a program of higher education for
intending teachers. Therefore, the findings of the Governor’s Commission on
Higher Education and Teacher Education are anticipated with keen interest
bv all those in higher education, and should be a subject of some thought by
graduates who are Alumni of Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges.
Eighth, if we are to have additional appropriations for colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, it follows that we shall have to have new taxes;
otherwise, the only people who will be able to go to college in the future will
be these whose parents come from the higher economic brackets. A democracy
cannot continue if it depends on leaders whose basis of selection is their
“papa’s pccketbooks.” Unless we keep the ladder of education open for all
worthy youth to climb as high as their abilities will permit, we shall have
closed the possibilities of growth to the future leaders of this great democracy.
Without an educated leadership, America cannot continue long to be the
bastion of Democracy and the Hope of the Western World.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Members

of the graduating class

This is to lift the world out of its
poverty, ignorance and oppression
to the level which
God means

cause of causes. It is greater than
saving your own soul for it is saving the soul of mankind.”
Dr. Laubach spoke at the baccalaureate services before almost
2,000 in the Centennial Gymnasium.
Dr. Laubach pointed

China became communistic the
government adopted the same policy the Russians have used. Every

work,

alphabets were adopted. Russians
can learn to read in a month, he
said, and the Chinese can learn
to read in three weeks.

In those

Dr. Laubach was presented by
Martin Appleman, Benton, a long
time friend of the world
figure
who did an exceptionally fine
job in telling of the great work
of this distinguished American. Ap-

pleman spoke

of Dr.

Laubach

as

being recognized “as one of the
outstanding men of this century”

and

told of the

honored graduate’s

lifetime of effort “to drive greed,
self satisfaction and lack of con-

cern for the less fortunate
from
the temple. He is America’s greatest weapon for peace in the world.”
In his response Dr.
Laubach
spoke of the occasion as “one of the
proudest and happiest moments of
my life.” Two of his classmates
of ’01 were in the auditorium and
stood at his request. As he spoke
Ire said there came to him “echoes
of the past.” He mentioned many
of the faculty members of his day
and observed that “I have attended some great institutions of learning but 1 never obtained as much
in four years at any of them as I
received here in a year and a half.
I hope this institution has done as
much for those now graduating
and for the underclassmen and
will do as much for those who will
attend in the future as it has dons

me."

GREAT PLANS FOR FUTURE

Some colleges in the group, he
said, are planning to go to 5,400

In this total it

Provided this group does

Dr. Andruss spoke of the process
of change at the local school. At
the present time there is a third of
the enrollment cared for on the
campus, an equal percentage residing in the town, and the other third

He spoke of the dormitory pro-

erything but want other people to
pay for it. If we want education

we must pay for it and whether
we are willing to do this depends
on whether we really value the
things we say we value. The future of the nation depends on the
education of our youth more than
any one thing. If we are threatened from without while we are in
a state of decay from within our
civilization

is

doomed.”

said in most phases of education Pennsylvania is not near the
top. The only two parts of the program in which it is among the
leaders is in the amount the state

provides toward public education
and in the length of the school
term.

Speaking of the growth of the
College, he said that every plan
that has been made thus far has
proven to be too small long before
it has been executed.
The first,
developed in 1941, called for a
maximum enrollment of 1,200 and
use of only two thirds of a sixty
acre campus.
The first detailed plan came out
1957 calling for accommodations
for 2,000 by 1970. The College had

there will be 1,900 next year. The

DBQ

ELNA HARRISON NELSON
With the passing of Elna Harrison Nelson, ’ll, an epoch in the history of the Alumni
Association of the Bloomsburg State College comes to a sudden and unexpected close.
Others must now assume control of the activities of the Association. These are destined
to become more and more important in the future of the College.
This task will not be
an easy one. With the greatly increased funds at the disposal of the Association, and the
growing demand for financial assistance, the role of the Association will become greater
and greater. Under these circumstances, the leadership of Dr. Nelson will be greatly missed.
wish to lay aside the editorial “we”, in order that I may pay due tribute to a friend.
friendship dates back to the summei of 1915. when Jack and I met in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. I had known him casually at Bloomsburg during the school year of 1910-11, but
our acquaintance was not intimate. I had gone to Ann Arbor to attend the summer session and to remain in attendance at the University until graduation. Jack had just completed a year at Dickinson College, and had decided to transfer to the University of Michigan. We lived in the same house until 1917, when Jack received his Bachelor of Arts
degree. I still had one semester to go. These Ann Arbor days were pleasant ones, and
Jack and I have often talked about them. These common experiences were the first of
many bonds that drew us together.
I

Our

Jack went to Highland Park, Michigan, for an interview regarding a teaching position
Highland Park High School. Hi made a favorable impression, and was hired for
the following year. The Superintendent asked if he know of any one whom he could
recommend as a teacher of foreign languages. Jack mentioned my name, and as a result
I was invited to come to Highland Park for an interview.
This resulted in my being offered a position, to begin with the second semester of the following year. This was the
second link in the chain of our friendship.
at the

When I reported for duty in January, 1918. I took up my residence with Jack and
Caroline, who had been married during the summer of 1917. I lived with them for most
of the semester, and the friendship grew stronger.
In the summer of 1918. Jack and I were both inducted into the Army, and both of us
were sent to Camp Lee. Virginia. He was later accepted for Officers’ Training, and I was
drawn for special duty and was sent overseas.

The war came to an end in time for Jack to return to Highland Park. I did not return to the States until the middle of the summer of 1919. After my return I was married and took my bride to Highland Park to get established for the coming school year.
We took over the Nelsons’ apartment while they came East on their vacation. We then
lived for several months in downtown Detroit, and when the apartment across the hall
from the Nelsons became vacant we moved in, and the two families spent several happy
years together.

Then Jack decided to go to Harvard to begin his graduate work. After receiving his
Master's degree, he accepted a new position in the Liberty High School at Bethlehem.
Pennsylvania. The two families were then separated.
After several years at Bethlehem. Jack came to Bloomsburg. Two years later. Dr.
G. C. L. Riemer, principal at Bloomsburg, asked Jack to recommend someone who could
teach foreign languages. Again Jack mentioned my name, and as a result, I moved my
family back to Bloomsburg, and our paths came together again.

In 1926, I became Editor of the Quarterly when publication was resumed after a
silence of several years. In 1937, Jack became Business Manager of the Quarterly, and
from that date, he and I worked together on this project.

When R. Bruce Albert passed away in 1945. Jack took on the additional duties of
President of the Alumni Association. From then until the time of his death, I have sat
with him at many meetings of the Board of Directors, been present with him at many
branch meetings of the Alumni, and conferred with him many times on Alumni matters.
All of these contacts with Dr. Nelson have resulted in a close relationship in personal,
family, and business affairs. I therefore wish at this time to express my deep sense of
personal loss. Those of us who have worked with him will remember him with affection,
gratitude, and admiration as an inspiring teacher and coach, a loyal colleague, and a
great alumni leader. With this as our inspiration, the Board of Directors of the Alumni
Association will strive to carry on in “the spirit that is Bloomsburg,” of which he was

such a shining example.

BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

No. 3

PLANNING FOR THE

FUTURE OF BLOOMSBURG
Sometime in October, 1961, the Superintendent of Public Instruction is presenting to
the State Planning Board, the Bureau of the
Budget, and the General State Authority, a proposal that the over-all enrollment of the fourteen State Colleges be estimated at 60,000 students for the year 1970.
As part of this plan, Bloomsburg is to have
an enrollment of 4,800; of this number 3,600
shall be resident students, and 1,200 day students.

As early as 1941 a campus plan was developed for 1,200, using about two-thirds of the
present campus of sixty acres. No date was
set for reaching this goal, but it was evident
shortly after World

War

II that additional en-

rollment would have to be accommodated.
The first post-war plan provided for 2,000 students by 1970, within the present
campus area; before two years had passed, it was evident that the 2,000 figure would
be approached ten years ahead of the planned date. Thereupon, another or third plan
was developed providing for 3,000 students, using the full sixty acres, and requiring the
purchase of various residential properties lying within the bounds of or adjacent to the

campus.
The change in the name to Bloomsburg State College by one Session of the Legislature and the change in the function by the following Session, so as to offer curriculums
in Arts and Sciences as well as in Teacher Education, made it rather evident that, if
Bloomsburg were to grow, additional campus sites would have to be sought.
If Bloomsburg is to accommodate 4,800 students by 1970, or as soon as classroom
buildings, dormitories, and dining halls can be built and enough faculty employed to
instruct this number, it is evident that the campus cannot be less than 100 acres. The
present campus can only accommodate 3,000; even then some of the dormitories are
four or five stories high.
The Legislature, just adjourned, approved the borrowing of money through the
General State Authority to construct an Auditorium to seat 2,000 and a Men’s Dormitory
This dormitory will have to have some seating arrangements for
to accommodate 250.
serving at least the evening meal if all the presently housed students are to be fed on
campus. At the present time, 860 boarding students are being accommodated in a space
that will seat only 720. A sum in excess of $50,000 was also appropriated to plan the
new library building.
The growth in the curricular offerings in the field of Teacher Education continues;
a group from the Department of Public Instruction representing the State Council of
Education, will visit us October 17, 1961. to see if we have the faculty and facilities for
offering courses leading to the Master’s Degree in the field of Special Education for the
Mentally Retarded and Speech Correction. We expect to continue to develop those
factors that are necessary for the approval of offering the Master of Education Degree
in the fields of English, Social Studies and, possibly, Geography.
Meetings are beginning to be scheduled to consider the steps to be taken so that the
State Colleges can offer curriculums in the Arts and Sciences, presumably to lead to the
Degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Bloomsburg is interested in Arts
and Sciences, related Pre-Professional Programs, and the field of Business Administration.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

CARRY

ON

"ONWARD BLOOMSBURG GOES”
(Mr. Fred W. Diehl has consented to write this page,
formerly written by the late Dr. Nelson and entitled
"Saucered and Blowed.")

With an active membership of over 1300.
and a potential group of some 5700 additional
Bloomsburg graduates, it seems fitting that
from time to tune you should be told what goes
on in your Association between reunions.
For most of our Alumni “between reunions” cover a f.ve year period. It i§ gratifying
to note that an increasing number of Alumni
are each year returning to the Campus for
Class Reunion activities.
Since the 1961 Reunion— May 27, your Association’s Board of Directors has held two
meetings. We are much aware of the loss of the leadership given to us by Elna H.
Nelson. Of the many groups in which he was associated, there is none where his loss
is more keenly felt than in our Alumni Association
At a Board meeting held on June 12th. we reviewed the financial position of the
Association Investments, Operating and Student Loan Funds, and arranged for carrying on. Board member Charles Henrie, ’38, was appointed to serve as Loan Officer,
with authority to approve student loan applications. As of this date the outstanding

—

loans total $29,635.

At this meeting action was also taken resulting in College co-operation and assistance in printing and mailing the July. 1961. Nelson Memorial issue of the Quarterly to

did edition, and to President Harvey A. Andruss, and Public Relations Director, Mr.
Boyd F. Buckingham, for their helpful co-operation.
Our second Board meeting was held on September 30th. Dr. Andruss and Mr. Buckingham met with us and offered the help of the College in sending another issue of the
Quarterly to all Alumni, sometime during this College year.
The Board authorized the appointment of two committees. The Finance Committee
is to have the duty of handling Investments, Loan payments and all other matters dealing with the financial affairs of the Association. The members of this committee are
Charles Henrie, Earl A. Gehrig and Mrs. Charlotte McKechnie.
A second committee will be known as the Alumni Branch Committee. It will be
responsible for the promotion of alumni branch organizat.ons, and assisting all such
groups in their meetings and activities. The members of this committee are Prof.
Howard F. Fenstemaker, Miss Elizabeth Hubler and Mrs. Vera Housenick. We trust
that our Branch officers will use this committee for any help that it may give to the
work and meetings of their Branch. We especially invite Alumni living in an area
where there is no active Alumni group, to solicit the help of this committee in forming
a Branch organization.

Another important action taken at this Board meeting was the selection of Mr.
to serve as the Business Manager of the Quarterly, and the employment
of his clerical staff to give assistance in its preparation and mailing.
The December, 1961, Quarterly will carry news of another very important decision
of your Board.
In closing may I remind the officers and members of the Class of 1912, that they
will observe their 50th GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Reunion next May. It is not too early
for them to start planning for this important event. The leaders of all other Five-Year
Reunion Classes are also reminded of this date.
Yours for a strong and active Alumni Association.

Those who wish to distinguish the original meaning of Liberal Arts from its modern
application now use the term “Arts and Sciences” to distinguish one of the major divisions of a University comprising the various departments offering general or non-professional subjects.
No, Bloomsburg is not going to become a Liberal Arts College. It will continue to
be a State College whose primary purpose is the education ana training of teachers,
and as such will oe a part of the Public School System of Pennsylvania. However, curriculums in the Arts and Sciences, comprised 01 English Composition and Literature,
Foreign Languages (French, Spanish ana German), tne Sciences (Biology, Chemistry
and Physics), History and Social Sciences (Economics, Government and Sociology),
and Mathematics, will form the basis of the offerings leading to a Bachelor of Arts or
a Bachelor of Science Degree.

Surveys are being made of the education and experience of the present faculty in
terms of the offering of a proposed curriculum, and the demand for teachers in relation
to the number of students who should be admitted each year, available funds from both
state and student sources and other important considerations belore these new programs
are begun.

You may recall that this is not a new venture for Bloomsburg, since we had a number of Freshmen sections in Arts and Sciences, who transferred to Pennsylvania State
College at the end of the first year. This cooperative program continued for three years
from

1947 to 1949.

Announcements will be made well in advance of the admission of students, and the
increase in the number of Freshmen admitted in Arts and Science curriculums will depend upon available faculty, funds and plant facilities.

Commenting on

Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president

order to fulfill their expanded roles.
In an Associated Press dispatch
by Fred Walters from Harrisburg
it was noted that the rising cost of
education is perhaps the most important factor behind state plans.
To put a young man or woman
through college today would cost
an average of $925 a year for tuition.

But at a state college the tuition
(called a “basic fee” because
the
state cannot legally charge tuition
at its colleges) is $200. If the state

There are, of course, loan and

over the years.

However, most

That would leave out the qualiyoungster whose I.Q. is not as
high and whose family has limited
financial means.
This is the point where the state
colleges enter the picture in an exfied

panded

role as liberal arts institu-

tions.

Dr. Charles H. Boehm, state superintendent of public instruction
who also serves as chairman of the
board of presidents of the state colleges, has cautioned the institutions
that

much must be done

to

accomp-

lish the transformation.

The

curriculum needs to be
strengthened, especially in the third
and fourth years. For some time

now, the

state colleges have been
offering liberal arts courses in the
first two years to their teacher-students.
This was the result of a
movement begun in 1953 to give
more emphasis to the general education of the future teacher and less
on methods of teaching.

In addition to filling out general
education courses for the last two
years, the colleges also appreciate
the fact their present offerings need

more breadth.
Representatives from the 14 colleges already have been scheduled
for a two-day meeting— to
discuss
with other experts in the field what

can be done to strengthen their
science and mathematics courses.
Improvements also are needs for
the faculties.

Haven,
Mansfield,
Millersville,
Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and
West Chester will be, at best,

construction for new buildings and
additions to existing structures, totaling approximately three million
dollars, are among the highlights
of the developments
during the
past year.

The College, established as an
academy in ltt39, continues to serve
primary function as a center of
culture in the area. Along with this
important role, the increase in the
number of students, faculty, and
non-ins tructional personnel has led
the college to ligure promintently
in the economic well-being of the
town and surrounding comunities.
Alumni, returning to the campus
for homecoming activities, will find
visible evidence of changes
that
have occurred since their last visit
to the “Friendly College.”
However, much of what might be termed change and growth are not readily apparent to the casual observer.
Increases in enrollment hit a new
high in September, 1961, when 1,935 students and 117 faculty members began classes on the campus.

SUCCESSFUL PARENTS’ DAY
One

most successful efforts
planned for direct communication
between parents of freshmen and
administrative personnel at Bloomsburg State College was repeated
on Sunday, October 8, for the
eighth successive year.
The 580
members of the freshman class
were invited, with their parents, to
attend the Eighth Annual Parents
Day which began at 2 p. m. in
Carver Auditorium.
Since seating space in Carver
Auditorium is limited, and the present freshman class is the largest to
be enrolled in the history of the
of the

College, invitations for the occasion
were extended only to the freshmen

and

their parents.

The meeting of parents, freshmen

For his dissertation, Dr. McCausnconducted a study to investigate
the differences between
students
motivated to seek help with their
problems and those who are not.
These students were compared on

li

the basis of personality, age, aca-

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

As we think about

“egg and chiCKen” question of priority, for improvement in numan behaviour has come about
largely through improved institutions, and institutions in turn have been improved, to the
degree that the behaviour of good and wise individuals has extended its innuence in bringing aoout this improvement.

As one who has been rather close to Bloomsburg lor more than a half century, this

other name smells just as sweet.” During these years I have known many of “tne

PLANS FOR

1962-1963

COLLEGE YEAR
For the first time in history, Bloomsburg
State College will have an annual budget beginning July 1, 1962, and ending June 30, 1963.
The State appropriation exceeds $1,000,000 and
the Local Income from student fees for instruction, board, room and laundry, will be
more than $1,250,000, thus the total budget
exceeds $2,250,000.
This means the faculty will be increased
to at least 125, and with the addition
of certain administrative positions and Library
staff will approach 130 to provide for 2,150

from 119

students.

The accommodation of this number will depend upon the ability of homes in the

that there were some things to be

the College before work would be

The

affirmative action taken by
State Council of Education
was announced in a letter from
Dr. Harold F. Alderfer, secretary,
State Council of Education, to Dr.
Harvey A. Andruss, president of
the College, and climaxes twentyfive years of development in this
phase of teacher education.
The special education program
had its roots established on
a
limited basis in 1937, shortly after
the

Dr. Andruss became dean of instruction, when the State Council
or Education designated Bloomsburg as a center for the training
teachers of special classes. At
that time, Bloomsburg was authorized to offer courses
meeting
the standards developed by
the
State Council of Education. From
1937 to 1956, special
education
classes at the College were developed as variants to the elementary and secondary education curriculums with teachers of special
classes certified to teach in either
elementary or secondary schools.
In 1956, public interest in special education led to legislation and
the passage of Act
which
429
mandated special class programs
and salaries for special education
of

teachers.

In the year that followed, Dr.

Andruss created the Division of
Special Education, and appointed
Dr. Donald F. Maietta as the first
Director.
The college curriculum
was revised to strengthen studentteaching programs in speech and
hearing therapy, as well as education for the mentally retarded.

$3.00 per week during the time

from classmates, alumni, and former students. Their expressions of sorrow were
also accompanied by suggestions that a permanent memorial be established in
Dr. Nelsons name, so that students, faculty, and alumni might always be reminded of his unselfish devotion to his alma mater.

news

As you read this page, many of you will remember quite vividly that Dr.
Nelson spent a great deal of his time and energy building the Alumni Loan Fund
and managing the Fund so that you might receive a loan or a scholarship to help
you complete your college education. The Husky Fund, which provides financial assistance for scores of worthy athletes, was also created and maintained
through his efforts. A fan of all sports, Dr. Nelson served many years as baseball
coach at the college. As a young man, he had excelled as a player; as a coach
he developed many fine players, including Danny Litwhiler, a major league
player for ten years.
Dr. Nelson was graduated from Bloomsburg in the Class of 1911, served as
of the faculty for 21 years before his retirement in 1947, was Business
Manager of the Alumni Association for nearly a score of years, and labored tirelessly as President of the Association for a decade and a half.

the Elna H. Nelson Memorial Fund. The purpose of this memorial is not to erect a
monument, or to place a bronze tablet, or to paint a picture, but to create a LIVING
in honor of one of Bioomsburg’ s most loyal alumni, outstanding teacher
and dynamic leader. Many of you knew him as Dr. Nelson the teacher; others knew
him as “Jack,” our co-worker in various activities and associations. All of us knew
him as a true friend.

MEMORIAL

The Nelson Memorial will help to continue the granting of Loans and Scholarships
worthy students, a project to which Dr. Nelson devoted much time and effort. We
trust that as individuals and Classes you will respond generously in the establishment
of this Nelson Memorial Fund.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association,
wishes for a happy and enjoyable Reunion.

STATE COLLEGE
BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

No. 2

Baccalaureus flrtium
This degree, generally signified by the abbreviations A.B. or B.A., will be conferred by
Bloomsburg State College, acting under the
approval of the Pennsylvania State Council of
Education. The bachelor’s degree in the Humanities or in the Natural Sciences (including
mathematics) or in the Social Sciences (including history) marks the completion of four
years of study in one of three curriculums.

—

In England, only three years of post-sec-

ondary

study

and

in

most Latin-American

countries (except Brazil, Peru, and Chile) only
graduation from the secondary school is required for the conferring of the bachelor’s or
first degree.

Bloomsburg first an Academy, then Literary Institute, State Normal School, State
Te ach ers College, now becomes a State College in fact. Graduate curriculums leading
to the degree of Master of Education will be offered in: Business Education; Elementary Education; Special Education for Mentally Retarded; Speech Correction; Secondary Education (approval pending) in English and Social Studies (including geography);
on weekends, evenings, and during summer sessions.

The date for accepting students for admission to the arts and sciences or liberal arts
programs in the (1) Humanities, (2) Natural Sciences, or (3) Social Sciences will be announced as soon as plans are matured. No degrees, either A.B. or B A. may be conferred before 1964.

Present faculty, numbering 119, includes 53 who hold degrees in the Arts and Sciences and 35 who have had a total of 170 years of teaching experience in liberal arts

Some research was begun more than a decade ago to determine the steps in the
development of Bloomsburg as an expanding institution of higher education. More recently, committees of faculty, the administration, and the faculty at large have been
developing curriculum patterns to preserve the quality of teacher education and to offer
sound education in the Arts and Sciences for those who may not be interested in or fitted for the teaching profession.

Bloomsburg, now a State College with a graduate school, stands on the threshold of
an era of expansion which offers challenges for greater service to the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania through educating its future teachers and citizens.

more sincere and genuine than
that given by the assembled guests

and members of the student body
when the dean was presented by
President Harvey A. Andruss during the exercises held in Centennial Gymnasium prior to the cor-

During the formal program Dr.
Andruss took occasion to mention
the close relationship

between the

Teachers College of Bloomsburg

of two representatives of Indiana.

Jr., who for almost forty years served as president of Bloomsburg

School.
That is a record without
equal in the state, Dr. Andruss
said.
Added to that was the mention that Dr. Waller also served
as superintendent of the State De-

"THE OLD ORDER

With the passing of our President, Elna H. Nelson ’ll, and the retirement from the
of Directors of Fred W. Diehl, Vice-President, it has been necessary to reorganize your Board of Directors.
Your new President has agreed to take over the duties of
the office for the time being. Charles H. Henrie, of Bloomsburg, has been elected VicePresident. The present Secretary, Mrs. C. C. Housenick ’05, and the Treasurer, Earl
A. Gehrig '38, will continue in their respective offices.

of Directors feel that it is time to re-examine the By-Laws
adopted in 1933. and to propose changes that wi’l be presented to the Alumni for their
approval at the annual meeting to be held next year. A Comjnittee of the Board is
working on the amendments. After these amendments have been reviewed by the
Board, they will be published in detail in The Quarterly. Some of the proposed changes
are as follows:

In 1952 there were 59 faculty members; five years later, 60 members; and today, 1962, there are 127 faculty
members. Ten years ago, there were 771 students; five years ago, 1187, and today more than 2,000 students will
begin coming to the campus. The budget figures, including state subsidies and local fees collected directly from
the students, show a similar growth. In 1952, the budget was $720,000: five years later, it was $1,062,000; and this
year, 1962, our budget will exceed $2,000,000.
Statiscally, this college is a growing institution.
Suppose we look at the growth and faculty salary during this same ten-year period. Selecting
members at random we find the salaries as follows:

Administrative Reorganization

The President of the College is somewhat startled to note that ten years ago we had a relatively small adminwhich did not include the heads of the departments.
There was a president, three deans, and a director of business education. Since that time, the director of elementary education, secondary education, and special education have become a part of the instructional cabinet of
the President, and the academic council consisting of ten department heads, reflect the general growth in administrative positions.
There was added a director of admissions a director of public relations, and director of athletics.

survey the beginning of the new programs of instruction.
A graduate program was begun
leading to the degree of the Master of Education in the field of business education, elementary education, special
education for the mentally retarded and speech correction ist, with approval in the fields of English and Social Studies pending; the inauguration of the first separate undergraduate division of special education for the mentally retarded and speech correctionists in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and more recently the approval of an arts
and science program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Out of 119 faculty members of last year, 53 held one
or more liberal arts degrees and 35 have a total of 170 years of teaching experience in liberal arts colleges.

These have not grown overnight. We have reached the present stage of development because interminable
hours have been spent by the administration and the faculty. No group has worked more diligently over the past
decade than the Graduate Council meeting regularly, keeping extensive minutes and changing the graduate programs as necessity demanded. Many other similar hard-working faculty groups could be cited if the time and
space permitted.
In the last decade, the library accessions have doubled, and the staff has been increased 250%; that is, from
two to five librarians. We now have a staff of two faculty and a secretary in the Audio-Visual Library. It has taken hours and hours of labor to prepare book lists, to process the orders and to secure the necessary equipment to
house ones purchased before they could be put into use.
In the last half decade construction has been completed in the form of dining room, one men’s dormitory, and
an extension to the heating plant, while more than $5,000,000 have been appropriated for the construction of two
women’s dormitories, a second men’s dormitory, and an auditorium to house 2,000.
How was this accomplished? Only by extra hours of hard work by the administration and faculty staff supported by non-instructional personnel. It is not often that those who plan a building can look forward to the day
when they can see it put into use. Yet, many of us have this opportunity today. This is one of the great and rewarding experiences of being a part of a growing college.

ALUMNI BOARD OF
DIRECTORS MEET

Your Board of Directors had a meeting Saturday, August 4, in the College Commons. Two new members. William Bitner and Millard Ludwig, sat with the Board for
the first time.

The principal item of business was the consideration of changes in the by-laws of
Alumni Association. Elsewhere in this issue of the Quaterly are printed those parts
of the By-Laws which the Board has recommended to be changed.
They are printed
as amended. These amendments must be approved at a meeting of the Alumni Associthe

ation.
Such a meeting will be called during the college year, and all members of the
Association will be given due notice as to the time and place. There must be an interval of three months following publication in the Quarterly.

amendments merely omit the word “Teachers” from the name

Perhaps the most important one of the amendments is the addition of Article 12.
There have been some problems arising from the McNinch fund, in which the Alumni
Association received over $100,000 from the estate of the late Miss Mary McNinich.
The Department of Internal Revenue has maintained that the Charter and By-Laws of
the Association do not establish the fact that the Association is a non-profit corporation.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
When

half of the students of college age (18 to 21 years) are attending college in
and California, why are omy about 30% attending in Pennsylvania, whereas
the National average is about 40% ? In those states, where more than 30% of college
age youth are attending institutions of higher education, a low-tuition policy exists.

way to get ahead of Russia is to educate more American citizens to understand that

STATE SUPPORT AND STUDENT FEES IN STATE COLLEGES
A study of the State Appropriations per student lor tne eignt-year

If the student fees (instruction, maintenance anu operating costs/ are computed on tne

The picture, however, is clarified to a greater extent if we omit the housing (board,
room and laundry) costs from the picture, assuming tney are seit-sustaining, then the
increase of the student fees from $102 to $2o2 represents an increase of 157% as compared with the 3% increase appropriated by the State.

THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMONWEALTH
Until Pennsylvania appropriates more money per student for higher education and
lowers the tuition costs, we shall never be able to give Pennsylvania youth of collegegoing age the opportunity to attend college in as large numbers as in other States of
our Nation. In tact, Pennsylvania students will go out oi the State to attend college,
and in some cases the family will go too. We cannot stand for the migration from this
Commonwealth of our greatest asset our oncoming generation.
Pennsylvania should consider the pattern suggested by the Illinois State Chamber
of Commerce, which recommended that tuition and fees over a period of years should
equal not more than 25% of the annual cost of educating young people.
This is the challenge to be faced by the January 1963 Legislature and the citizens

rules.

However her health has not been
too robust lately.

Acting upon the advice of her
doctor, friends and many of her
students parents to “relax and take
things easier,” Miss Evans has decided to conclude formally what
has been to her a most rewarding

and

experience.

She

submitted her formal request for
retirement July 13.
In addition to having earned the
title of “a good teacher” in the hearts and
minds of
hundreds of students and their
parents, Miss Evans is one of the
"old-school” teachers who “dreaded to see the weekends roll

honorable

around.”
In conversations with the dedicated teacher, it was noted that
she did not, at any time, refer to
her young charges as “the kids.”
In speaking of her warm, reciprocal relationship with her young
friends over the years, Miss Evans
repeatedly used the
term, “my
the
children,” “our students” or
"pupils in our building.”

years that has been very disturbing. Many classes each year hold their reunions off

reunions that they include in their program the presence of their class at the Alumni
