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.

pointed across the park to the college and then observed to the
questioner, “You know, I belong

Commendation is due also to Mr. Boyd Buckingham, Director of Public Relations
at the College. He has also been serving capably, without compensation, as Business
Manager of the Quarterly. As a result of nis efforts the active membership of the
Association, as of March 19, was 1600, the highest in the history of the Association.
He has rendered great service to the Association and to the College by reducing the
number of Alumni for whom we have no address. There is still much to be done in
this respect, as can be seen be the list offaames published elsewhere in this issue.

The meeting of the Board was preceded by a meeting of the Association. The
admendments published in the September issue of the Quarterly were adopted, and
are now in force. Same amendments were necessary because of the change of the

of the College

from “The Bioomsburg State Teachers College”

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.

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

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.

Rome.

She has been a pupil of the late
Oronzio Maldarelli and has also
worked with the Parisian sculptor,
ntoucci Volti and the Hungarian,
Ferenc Varga. She has been influenced by these three great artists, but is unique in her own discoveries which have been termed
"poetic” and "archaic.” One critic
has termed her a “modern traditionalist" and she too feels that
her work combines ancient Greek
and Egyptian
influences
with
twentieth-century

simplifications.

While in Rome, Mrs. Ancker will
be executing several commissions
from patrons in the states. One is
a figure in bronze of St. Francis
of Assisi for a garden at St. Andrews Episcopal Church,
Murray
Hill. X. J.
The figure will be fifty
inches high and will be cast by a
foundry in Pisa, Italy. St. Francis’
hands are cupped before him and
thev will be filled with bird seed
to attract birds to the garden.
Monteleone, in whose studio
Mrs. Ancker is working, is one of
Rome’s leading sculptors. He specializes in church work and is an
authority on St. Francis.

Mrs. Ancker plans a one-man

Recently, Mrs. Ancker completed a life-size mask in terra cotta
of Eleanor Sands Smith, poet and
editor of The Morning Press Poetrv Column.
Her portrait bust of
the Hon. Joseph Robbins, a relative of the well-known Bloomsburg

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.

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.

It is
relatively easy, and not all uncommon, to find a teacher emphasizing intellectual prowess without

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

WORKSHOP

Workshop using curriculum and materials designed by
the Physical Science Study Committee was included in several spePhysics

workshops to be offered durmain six-week Summer
Session which began at
Bloomsburg State College on July 1. 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.”

“Baseball Coach’s Guide to Drills

ft is a thorough, well illustrated volume and we have an idea
it will gain considerable readership.
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

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

ANDRUSS DELIVERS
MESSAGE ON PANAMA

DR.

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.

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

the situation.

(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,

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-

implied that the extremists in Panama want the Canal taken over by

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.
The rioting started in the
nearby streets and the lights in the
restaurant were put out. The exPresident and his guests
disappeared in no time and Dr. and

Later, they

demands of decisions. While it is true
that in decision making, for as we

responsibility which follows decision.

“Such moments call for a decision,

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

“Or we may see this moment as

it, ‘lime is our choice of how to live

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

BSC Observing

125th Anniversary

When the Bloomsburg State Teachers College alumni assembled at “the
friendly college on the hill” back in
1939 to participate in the observance
of the centennial of this institution of
learning they had much to look back
upon with pride, and a basis on
which to build confidence for a bright
future.
But there was little evidence at that
time of the great changes and developments that were to come in the quarter century ahead. Pew if any envis-

Construction at the time of the centennial amounted to three-quarters of
a million dollars and included Centennial Gym, Navy Hall and the improvement of the heating plant.
Today there is a $5,191,000 alloca-

ioned anything comparable to
what
has taken place and is in prospect.
The main features of the 125th anniversary observance are going to be
presented in the fall, probably around

$207,489 to $1,700,248. The non-instructional personnel has increased from

Milestone for Andruss
This is anniversary time, too, for
Dr. Harvey A. Andruss who has been

the expansion has been far greater
than in the entire first century of its

existence.

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

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

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

lawmakers viewed models of the auditorium and library to be erected on
to

as “the golden years at

of a men’s dormitory to be built on the site of the present North Hall, with work to start

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.

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.

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.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that several copies of the April

that one of the members has graduated in the old two-year course and later received her degree.

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

Both Ikeler and Albertson came

Ikeler went on to Gettysburg College
and received a bachelor of arts degree

He was an instructor in English for
a year at St. Olaf’s College, Northfield,

Minn.; the following year taught

freshman English at his Alma Mater

“Star” promotion, with Ikeler in

never been flamboyant.

says. But sponsorship has been given

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

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.

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

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.

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 many problems which beset
administration in general and higher
education in particular a quarter century ago were not unknown to
the

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

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

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

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.

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

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

“Science is at work, for evil or for

its total effect.”
In indicating the second major responsibility, he stressed that “With a

scope of knowledge itself. This responsibility
must

tnrough personal research, by discovering new truth, by interpreting old
truths in relation to new situations,

and by otherwise enriching your own

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.

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

with the idea of a
turkey
stand to be operated in the Fall of
1901, during the principalship of Dr.
J. P. Welsh.

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.

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

Mrs. Ancker is well-known both
throughout the United States and in
Europe. 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.”

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

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

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,

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

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,

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.

It was out of the success of this

“Inability to discipline was one of

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.

Bloomsburg considered itself fortunate to have such a man.

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

But unless

the subscriptions, and when this subscription or that didn’t come up to

he would hitch up his horse, drive
out to this farm or that, and raise

The man had an
amazing personal magnetism.

with a $1200 gift in a one-day drive

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-

with the possibilities
of
the
school and its location and took the
initiative in suggesting that a normal
school be added.

“I was to see him later and
to
learn he had duplicated in New Jersey the same remarkable things he

when he had a board of trustees

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

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.

had succeeded Dr. Waller here, resigned to become dean at Pennsylof

THE BLOOMSBURG

College students, eonditioned by a daily
diet of international crisis, new developments
in the world of science, and problems precipitated by unprecedented population growth,

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.

This trend should continue in

This is both a difficult and an important challenge for 1965!

At a meeting of the Board

an item for attention was the provision of additional classroom space
for a college enrollment of 2,800 fulltime students for the year beginning
September, 1965.
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

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

that Bloomsburg should plan for its
junior or community college for
this area. Also, the Bloomsburg Area

that there is also a possibility the

pupils, and the college can reassign
those faculty members who care to

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.

Dr. Heiges called for an immediate

“The state colleges’ allocation is
inadequate and unfair.”
Dr. Heiges was critical of persons

At a recent meeting of the WilkesBarre General Hospital Auxiliary, one
of the highlights was a surprise honor
paid to General Hospital’s renowned
and beloved “schoolmarm.”
She is Mrs. Jared D. 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.
Mi's. Montayne
will

every
Affection and love went into
part of the program.
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

After working as a teacher with

Mrs. Funk is an expert at dreaming

‘Crafts can be

Some

of the most eye-catching items

delicate renderings of blossoms are
attractive enough to frame and we’ll
venture that friends receiving these

Purdue University biologist has
helped bring advanced science teaching to a small Southern Negro college
seeking re-accreditation.
And Prof. J. Alfred Chiscon, BSC
’54, of Purdue, feels that the cooperative effort by volunteer professors and
students of six universities and colleges at Miles
College,
Birmingham,

Miles is the only Negro college in an
80-mile radius, and in a center of a
dense population area.
Chiscon observes that it differs from the typical unaccredited college in that it attracts many bright students who find
it difficult to go elsewhere— a major
reason educators wanted to work
there.

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

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

of

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.

As with any
other skill, the active use of the foreign language suffers with time. The

goal is to continue a four-way cultural

BLOOMSBURG - TODAY AND TOMORROW
Each two years, the College makes requests for construction, so Bloomsburg is
planning for 5,600 undergraduate students in 1972. Graduate students will bring the
total to more than 6,000.
The Legislature is expected to authorize nine million dollars for the 1965-1967 biennium, which should add a Science and Classroom Building, a Dormitory for 672 men,
and an Athletic Field on the present campus. A second Dining Hall and Student Union
may also be authorized.

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 college president said the antiappropriations would be for
two men’s dormitories, a dining hall,

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,

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.”

for three-year terms were James H.

between 1885 and 1894. In six instances replies were received, indicating
our oldest living alumni. The persons

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,

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,

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

by Dr. Andruss tha a limited numer of

in order to promote cultural development and better understanding.
In devloping his thoughts on costs

of years, should be placed at a level
approximately equal to one-fourth of

the other three-fourths of the cost.

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

In 1962 there were 3,320 requests for

Paul G. Martin, business manager,
described the burdensome purchasing
procedures now required which seriously handicap both the instructional

and

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

within a short period.

Rep. Fred Shupnik, D. Luzerne and
a teacher, said it was almost inconceivable that a period of from three

the colleges operate on the calendar

rather than fiscal year setup as it

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.

one of the world’s

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?”

“In our western world, education

individuals.

Miss Child and Miss Homfray were
exposed to this method of teaching when they were both students in
London in 1929; Miss Montessori had
just arrived from Italy to introduce
her method of teaching. Two years
later, they went to Rome to continue
their study under Miss Montessori.
All three were instrumental in establishing the St. Nicholas Training Center in England in 1946. This training
center is an educational-trust operated by a board of trustees on a nonprofit basis and is open to young girls,

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.

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

William C. Coffman, Bloomsburg
native and long a resident of Millretired at the close of the 1984-

term of the Millville Areat Joint
High School after almost two score

65

years of teaching.
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.

CAN BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE DOUBLE ITS
ENROLLMENT IN THE NEXT DECADE (1965-1975)?
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,

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.

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

ALUMNI COUNCIL
The Council

of

Alumni Associations

of the State Colleges of Pennsylvania
has urged for formation of a permanent central board which would coorfourteen
dinate policy towards the
state colleges and help guide
them
during the next critical phase of their
development.
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

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

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

The Treasurer’s report was given by

Each person present
was then asked to give a short resume
of his life at the College and since
graduation. The reminiscences ranged all the way from the days when the
two sexes were not to walk together
to the number of times Dean and Mrs.

their living quarters in the

Bloomsburg State College posted its
best football season in the past four
years with a 4 win 4 loss record. Russ
Houk completing his second year as
head coach used a substantial number
of sophomores and juniors most of the
time, indicating a bright outlook for
the gridiron sport for BSC in the years
ahead.
“Inexperience and lack of depth
hurt us this year.” stated Houk, “but
even so, the boys played some excellent football. We have a crop of outstanding players that will move up
from our freshman team next year to
give us additional depth, particularly
in the line and defensive
halfback
positions.”

GIFT TO COLLEGE
President
Carl A. Rhoades, Vice
of A.R.A. Slater School and College
Services recently presented a check
for $1,500 to Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,
President of Bloomsburg State College. The contribution is for the Comof
munity Government Association
BSC, and will be used for the Student
Scholarship Fund.
year,
For the third consecutive
Miss Leatrice Sunaoka, an honor student from Haneoke, Hawaii and currently a junior at Bloomsburg, will
be the recipient of this scholarship.
As additional funds become available,
it is anticipated that scholarships will
be awarded to other students from
both Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
The scholarship fund was initiated
three years ago to help students who
to enroll at Bloomsburg but
lived outside the continental limits of
the United States. It was the feeling
of the administration, faculty and students at the College that the program
would stimulate cultural exchange
and help improve relations between
students of various racial and cultural
origins.
Contributions have been received in
the past from individuals, organiza-

wanted

tions, and
business
establishments
located largely within a 50 mile radius
of the college. The funds are solicited
and disbursed by the International
Student Relations Committee, a group
of faculty headed by Mr. John Scrimgeour.

REFORM
“Human variability is not served
by conformity and uniformity, nor can
it be wished or organized away,” asserted Dr. John I. 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.

educationally meaningful only when
followed by prescription; prescription
is possible only when alternatives procedures and opportunities are available.”
Professor Goodlad emphasized the
fact that each individual has untold
potentialities.
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.
One of the important roadblocks
facing curriculum reform in the United States is the lamentable fact that

Dr. William L. Bitner, superintendent of the Glens Falls City School
District, visited Africa this
fall
at
the invitation of the U. S. Department
of State to participate in the development of an American-sponsored school
in Tunis.

The State Department has asked 25
school systems and their superintendents to participate in the School-toSchool Project. The aim is to promote
international understanding by bringing personnel of leading
American
schools in direct contact with schools
located abroad, according to Ernest
N. Mannio, overseas director.
The program also provided an
opportunity for foreign educators already familiar with and committed to
American educational philosophy and
techniques to broaden their knowledge
and experience and opportunity for
American educators and school children to have contact with knowledgeable educators from foreign countries,
Mr. Monnio

finance the school-to-school exSubsequently, a letter of invitation from Richard M. Payne, president of the Board of Governors in
Tunis, was forwarded to Dr. Bitner
and the City School District.
The American Cooperative School
was established in 1958 by a group of
American parents and U. S. government officials residing in Tunis. It
is now being governed by parents of
the children attending,
through
a
board elected by the parents.
The school is housed in a converted
cow barn outside Tunis in what is
termed “a pleasant rural setting on
the Carthage Road.”

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

The

chief problem facing your

Board of Directors at the present time is
that of securing more active members. 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.

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.
