DEVELOPING A MASTER PLAN

FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
IN

PENNSYLVANIA

Over the years, many committees in state, government and educational circles have
considered a plan for the future of education in our Commonwealth. Sometimes these
plans have comprehended the elementary, secondary, and higner education fields.
Otner times tney have been limited in scope to one or more ox tnese education areas.
More than once these plans have been kept “under cover" and securing a copy of the
reports has been difficult and, in some cases possible. Inus, tne results nave not
been widely circulated.
2—
Pennsylvania is unique in many ways, one of which is the method of distributing
3—
public
funds to private colleges and universities. Another feature, watch has continued
for a generation longer than in other states, was tine limitation oi tne i unction oi state
Colleges to the education and training of teachers cr one puonc schools.
Recently a report was made to the State Board of Education of the Commonwealth
Pennsylvania titled “Elements of a Master Pian for Higner Education in Pennsylvania.” THIS REPORT IS NOT iHE MaSiER plan. However, it gives a great aeal
of information developed by a panel of experts and consultants, and its effect will be
felt for the next generation, eitner by its being ignored, or ioy its being put into practice as rapidly as time, money, and personnel become available.

private colleges and universities that receive large sums for unrestricted general

By way of summary, the Academy for Educational Development Report has suggested that State Colleges enrollments 4>e increased during the next ten years from
47,000 students to 110,000, and that in 1985 plans should be made for 150.000.
These figures are not final and are merely one of the many factors that must be
considered by the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the Legislature, if Penn
sylvania is to provide more higher educational opportunities for its youth in the two
decades that lie ahead.

COMMENCEMENT

MID-YEAR
Ninety-one seniors and three graduate students at Bloomsburg State
College were granted degrees at the

annual mid-year Commencement exervices in Centennial Gymnasium on
Tuesday, January 25, 1966. The Reverend Lane Kilburn, President of
King’s College, Wilkes-Barre, addressed the graduating class, their parents and guests on the topic “Ar-

mada 1965.”
“How are you

going to

meet the

two challenges of the upset uncertain
world and the dangerous reaction of
youth to dt?” the Rev. Lane D. KilCollege,
president of King’s
Wilkes-Barre charged the ninety-four
commencegraduates at mid-year
ment of Bloomsburg State College
held at two o’clock January 25.
The ninety-one candidates for Bachelor of Science degrees in Education
and the three candidates for Master
of Science degrees in Education were
presented by their respective divisional heads to Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,
President of BSC, who in turn, presented their diplomas.
The Rev. Fr. Kilburn stated that
challenges face
today’s
these two
graduates who must decide whether
to cease their education and find work
or further their education preparing
for a future position. “This,” he said,
“is a most difficult decision to be
made against a background whose
unforeseeable depths are more enigmatic, more clouded, more shrouded

in uncertainty and even in
than at any other time in the
world’s history.”
He continued by pointing out that

Shakespeare in his sonnet 107 wrote
“The Mortal Moon” and in the early
1940’s when the world faced Nazi and
Facist growth, the world’s future was
uncertain and in a deplorable state.
Yet man has pushed ahead and provided himself with weapons of great
and destructive power so that now
two absolute opposed world powers
face each other, each determined to
outdo the other. This causes the world
to tremble and swirl in uncertainty.
The first challenge of the uncertain
world, Father Kilburn noted, is met
through a perfecting of the intellect.
This oan be done by properly acquiring correct knowledge and then using
it for the benefit of one’s fellow man.
“The second challenge. Father Kilburn stated, “is certainly related to
the above challenge and is even closer
to you.” He specified how the uncertainty of today’s world picture has resulted in youth reacting in some unpleasant conduct in teenage gangs,

“You have begun this because you
have been schooled in an atmosphere
where virtue is the example to follow. Nothing will give it to you but
your own practice with God’s help.
Without virtue you have no defense
against the waywardness youth
is
tempted to follow. But with it you
can stand up with your armor of virtue and successfully meet the second
challenge.”
Father Kilburn concluded his address by saying, “But, now it is up
to you to continue to exercise your
powers of will and so strengthen virtue, and to continue with hard work
to perfect even further your intellect.
If you do, some day some sonnet writer may be able to conclude as has

here

is

of

more immediate concern

that over a period of nearly

person. For many years he was advisor to all the publications at the
same time: Maroon and Gold, Olympian, Obiter. Numerous other publishing
responsibilities
he
undertook
most capably preparation and proofreading oi college brochures, handbooks and catalogues. Up to the time
of his death he continued to serve as
chairman of the Publications Commititee and as advisor of the staff of the

It seems fitting that this newspaper,
which Dr. DeVoe advised for so many
years, before the duty fell to
me,
then later to Mr. Savage, should pay
tribute to one who worked so hard in
furthering its growth. One of Dr. DeVoe 's admirable traits as advisor was
the strictness with which he kept
publicity on himself in the
background. It is good to recognize that
institutions and a newspaper is one

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

BLUEPRINT FOR FUTURE
Bloomsburg State College should
plan now to become a state university
with an enrollment of not less than 6,000 in 1980, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,
president, told nearly 2,000 members
of the BSC community at the first convocation of the second semester of the
present academic year.
Stressed was the fact that the College is constantly growing far ahead
of the plans, and despite the fact that
there has been a continual shortage of
space, with only half of the physical
plant envisioned to be completed by
1970 expected to be ready for use in
1966.

of the demand for entrance being far above capacity with
accomodations 1,000 dormitory women

—

could have been entered next fall but
there is room for only 275 and of the
anticipated growth in demand for entrance in the years ahead. Pointed
out was that only a third of this state’s
high school graduates go to college
but that in some states this is fifty
per cent and this can be expected
here if opportunities are provided in
community or state colleges or in
ether relatively inexpensive institutions of learning.
Since the college now has an enrollment in excess of 3,000 and an instruc-

—

tional staff of 160, attendance was restricted to faculty members, freshmen, sophomores and some juniors.
Dr. Andruss stated that the
first
plan drawn for Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, more than twenty

years ago, would have accommodated
double the enrollment at that time.
“Less than a decade ago, the figure
was raised to 2,000 students, and the
target date was set at 1970;
subsequently, plans for 3,000 students were
out-lined in greater detail. It is estimated that 2,800 full-time students will
be enrolled next September, and this
figure will reach or exceed the 3,000
mark in 1986 four years earlier than
the target date of 1970. This growth
has occurred in spite of the fact that

—

only one-half of the buildings, which
were supposed to be completed by
1970, will be ready for use by 1966.
“The last proposal made by Superintendent Charles H. Boehm was that
Bloomsburg should be planned to ac-

commodate

4,800

students with 3,000

on the present campus and 1,800 on a
second campus. The increasing pressure fer the enrollment of college students, the great number denied admission because of lack of room
and
financial support, and the history of
the increase in the size of the institution from 1,200 to 2,000 to 3,000 to 4,800 leads President Andruss to believe
that Bloomsburg State College should
plan in terms of becoming a state university with an enrollment of not less

than 6,000 in 1980.
“Plans past and present will be
devised and developed in relation to
the master plan for higher education,
which must first be considered by the

—

MARCH,

1966

—

Council of Higher Education, composed of seven members appointed by
Governor Scranton. This master plan
will include the 14 state colleges, the

one
state-supported
Pennsylvania
State University, and 14 state-aided
colleges and universities; consideration will also be given to sixty-nine
pricate colleges and universities and
an equal number of professional and
—or technical schools.
“No doubt the development of community colleges, planed as two-year
institutions giving the associate degree and financed on an equal basis by
the student, the school district or sponsoring agency and the state, will need
to be given consideration in relation
to what will happen to their graduates
who need to go on to other colleges
and universities for the third and
fourth years.
This may mean that
state colleges will have junior and
senior classes larger in number than
the freshmen and sophomore classes.
“All these factors
indicate
quite
clearly tha a new blueprint must be
drawn for the continued development
of Bloomsburg State College; these
plans must provide for increased enrollments, more buildings, and faculty
members who are both better educated and better compensated.”
Dr. Andruss continued to point out
that more applications are now received earlier in the
year and that
Bloomsburg had to choose 275 dormitory women to enter in September,
1S65, from among 1,000 applications.
The enrollment at the end of the
first semester was only 1 per cent
lower than at the beginning, and the
beginning of the second semester for
1964-1965 showed an enrollment larger than the first semester.
“Pressure from parents and other
interested adults is being applied to
students in a fashion which sometimes
interferes with their
best
efforts.
With the admission of better students
we are confronted with the question,
‘How are faculty members meeting
the challenge of being better teachers?’
All of these and many other
things are evidence of growth and
development in the quality of education along with the growth in numbers.
“It is likely that many Pennsylvania
high school graduates will not have
an opportunity to enroll in college

and this number will probably grow
from September to September for at
least five years.

This

is

graphically

demonstrated by statistical reports
which show that while only a third
of Pennsylvania’s high school graduates go on to college the number
in

some states approaches fifty per cent.
It seems to me that fifty per
cent
more college students can be expected
to enroll if opportunities are provided
either in community colleges or state
colleges or other relatively inexpensive institutions, which students can
afford to attend.

D. C. ALUMNI
The Washington Branch of the
Bloomsburg State College Alumni Association held a luncheon meeting on

WASHINGTON,

Saturday,

November

20, 1965, in the
Silver Springs,
Maryland. There were 22 in attendance for the luncheon and meeting,
of which 20 were Alumni of Bloomsburg State College. The class representation was from 1908 (Miss Sadie
Hartmen) to 1964 (Mr. Harold And-

Blair Mansion

Inn,

rews).
Following the luncheon the President, Mr. Clark Renninger, introduced Mr. James B. Creasy, assistant to
the President of the College, who
presented to the group the facts of

Bloomsburg ’s growth since 1955 and
projected the pattern to 1975.
Following the general presentation, he
spoke briefly to the group on the
buildings, landmarks, and invited all
of them to take out five-year memberships in the Alumni Association in
order to receive the directory and a
copy of the 125th Anniversary Bro-

chure.
This group seemed genuinely interested in the plans for the future. A
number of them expressed dismay at
the purported size of the institution
for fear the character of Bloomsburg

State College would be lost.
In an
informal question and answer period
Mr. Creasy assurred them that we
here at Bloomsburg are most interested in preserving the character and
charm of Bloomsburg State College,
but at the same time we are interested in growth to meet the challenge
facing institutions of higher education.
The group seemed most interested
in the operation of the dining room,
tha is, dress policy; what buildings

were going to be demolished; what
happened to the lions or if the lions
were still on their pedestals; and the
student demonstration in 1964.
Those present were:
Mrs. Charles Hicks (Thalia Barba)
’34, Miss Wilhelmina Cerine ’32, L Curtis R. English ’56, Mrs. Ruth H.
Baker (Ruth Haggy) ’32, Mss Saida

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

Another Alumni Day is drawing near again. The date, is Saturday, May 7.
The main feature of the day will be the Alumni Luncheon in the College Commons at 12:30, followed by the annual business meeting of the Alumni Association.
We hope that this meeting will not last longer than one hour. It will include the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer, the election of five Directors,
and the presentation of a Distinguished Service Award.

Inasmuch as the College Administration has discontinued its policy of paying for the luncheon, a charge of $1.50 will be necessary. This will apply to
both members and non-members. It is hoped that, if the membership of the
Association becomes sufficiently large, it will be possible in the future for the
Alumni Association to assume the cost of these luncheons.
fc

Those who expect to spend Friday night in Bloomsburg are urged to make
motel or hotel reservations as soon as possible. These places will be very much
in demand because of other events that are taking place in Bloomsburg that
evening.

BSC HOST TO PAST
CCA PRESIDENTS
Twelve past presidents of the Community Government Association and
College Council at Bloomsburg State
College returned to their alma mater
recently as honored guests of the present college council.
Most of the guests arrived before
noon, met briefly with student leaders
of campus organizations and attended some of the college classes which

were

in session.

Following a luncheon in the College
Commons, the guests were welcomed
by Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president
of the college, and Gilbert Glockley,
president of the College Council for
the 1965-66 school year. John A. Hoch,
dean of instruction, introduced each
of the guests and their wives.
Dr. Andruss emphasized the importance of student participation in government and thanked those present
for the contributions they had made
to the college. He noted that many of
the forty individuals who had served
as presidents since the College Council was created in 1927 have had interesting, varied and productive careers.

Dr. Andruss paid tribute to
Dr.
Marguerite Kehr, Dean of Women
Emeritus, who was the guest of honor.
A list of projects completed by College Council during the past year was
described by Glockley. He also presented an analysis and the Community
Government Association is spending

nearly $170,000 this year.
A tour of the campus, with special
emphasis on new buildings and those
currently under construction, preceded a brief film of campus events
which spanned more than three decades.

The day’s activities were concluded
with a banquet in the College Commons and attendance at the final production of “Picnic” presented by the
Bloomsburg State College Players in
Carver Auditorium.
Attending the event and the year
they served as College Council president, were: George A. Mathews, Vandergrift, 1928-29; Charles F. Hensley,
Wilkes-Barre, 1932-33; John T. Beck,
Hershey, 1934-35; Boyd F. Buckingham, Bloomsburg, Sept. 1942-Feb.
1943.

The gymnasium-field
house,
for
which an appropriation will not be

made until the 1967-69 session of the
Legislature, will be the first building erected on the second campus but
it is anticipated the first structure in
that location will be the new athletic
field.
It was
at the athletic dinner in
1964 that Dr. Andruss announced provision for the new athletic field and
there is a $591,000 allocation for 'this
project. The first design was for the
placing of the stadium in the area of
the residence of the College president.
Now with a third revised campus plan
to be drawn, the stadium design will
have to be changed in accord with
the new site. It is believed the appointment to do this will be given the

Price and Dickey firm in the immediate future and that it will be ready
in a comparatively short time.
A special award, a College blazer,
was presented to Dean of Instruction
John A. Hoch in appreciation for his
contributions to athletics of the College since he joined the faculty in
1946. His first year he took over the
varsity football coaching job followthe unexpected
and untimely
death of Alvin J. (Lefty) Danks, just
prior to the opening of the season
and did an excellent job. He has served as a coach and faculty director
of athletics and has always been- dedicated to the success of the athletic
program.

Dr. Andruss said the first plan, in
was for a student body of
1,200.
This has been continually revised upward until the present third
revision for a student body of 5,600.
The relocation of the intercollegiate
stadium and field house in the former Country Club area, it was noted,
will release the fifteen acres adjoining the main campus for recreational
areas, for intramural sports and physical education classes until such time
as it may be needed as the site for
additional buildings.
He spoke of the College’s request

for the new field house which will include a swimming pool.
Dressing

rooms

for varsity teams will be located either in this structure or under
the stands of the stadium which is to
be constructed on the level section
beyond the old country club house.
It was pointed out that, in order to
provide access to the new expansion
of the campus, it may be necessary
to purchase additional land for roads
to accomodate not only college students who practice or participate in
the games but also the spectators.
There will be a need for access high-

The educator said the populace is
impressed by buildings and campus,
but if the institution is to be successful in its program in the years ahead,
it must be more than large; “it must
produce the type of people who are
seated before me now.”
Education today, he continued, is
mental discipline and the ability to
suspend judgment until all of the facts
are in, and not just passing the classroom requirements and graduating.
“An educated man,” said Dr„ Andruss, “is one with the ability to meet
any man on his own level without
necessarily descending to it.”
With regard to morals, mention was
made that it is necessary to combat
•those things which cause deterioration
but he reminded that “young people

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

At the College Assembly on Thursday, May 12, we had the great pleasure
Alumni scholarships to the following students:
The Harold B. Hartley Award: to Darlene Wroblewski.
The Lucy McCammon Scholarship: to Connie Rohr.
The Earl N. Rhodes Scholarship: to Thomas Free.
The Columbia County Scholarship: to Deanna Woolcock.
Class of 1950 Scholarship: to Rosemary B. Lubinski.
The Anna Lowrie Wells Scholarship: to Roberta Williams.
All of the above named scholarships were derived from specific gifts, and
were named after the donors, in addition, the following scholarships came from
the income of the General Scholarship Fund:
The Bruce Albert Memorial Scholarship: to Judith Ann DeFant.
The O. H. Bakeless Scholarship: to Suzy Holmes.
The William B. Sutliff Scholarship: to Mary Steffen.
The scholarships total $1225. For an institution as large as BSC, and an
Alumni of almost 10,000, this amount is not very imposing. Increases in the
amount of scholarships and grants will have to depend on the generosity of the
Alumni, and an increase in the active membership. We hope that more graduates
will pay their dues, and add additional amounts, large or small, over and above
the cost of the annual dues.

PROGRAM OF GIVING AT BLOOMSBURG

For nearly a decade, your alma mater has been expanding its facilities to accommodate the increasing number of young people applying for admission to college. This
program of expansion will continue during the next decade as the enrollment grows
from approximately 3,000 undergraduate students in September, 1966 to 5,600-6,000
students by 1975.
In his remarks to alumni on May 7, President Andruss indicated that it takes more
ithan land, buildings, and faculty to give the college community the vitality and resources needed to provide a program of quality and variety for more students.
The Alumni Association, until recently, has been able to make loans and scholarships available to a limited number of students. But the growth of the college has
made if necessary for the Association to revise and expand its program and services.
This can be done in several ways with the interest and help of more of our graduates.
Several of our sister institutions have made annual appeals to all their graduates
during the past three or four years, ar.d have raised $10,060 or more each year for

If your Alumni Asociation adopts this method of annual giving in place of dues,
ia designated amount could be set aside for operating expenses and the remainder earmarked as a “loyalty fund’’ to underwrite almumni projects to support the development
of the college.

The dormitories will be constructed

PROGRAM OF GIVING AT BLOOMSBURG

For nearly a decade, your alma mater has been expanding its facilities to
accommodate the increasing number of young people applying for admission to
college. This program of expansion will continue during the next decade as the
enrollment grows trom approximately 3,000 undergraduate students in September,
1966 to 5,600-6,000 students by 1975.
In his remarks to alumni on

May

7,

President Andruss indicated that it takes
the college community the vitality
of quality and variety for more

more than land, buildings, and faculty to give
and resources needed to provide a program
students.

The Alumni Association, until recently, has been able to make loans and
scholarships available to a limited number of students. But the growth of the
college has made it necessary for the Association to revise and expand its program
and services. This can be done in several ways with the interest and help of more
of our graduates.
Several of our sister institutions have made annual appeals to all their graduates during the past three or four years, and have raised $10,000 or more each
year for specific projects such as scholarships, loans, and library books. Letters,
requesting contribution, are mailed to all alumni as many as four times each
year.

LOYALTY FUND PROJECT
During recent years, several of our sister institutions have been engaged in
drives to secure greater support from their Alumni. At Kutztown and Shippensburg, for example, they have succeeded in raising to a considerable extent the
amount of annual contributions of their graduates.
After deducting an amount sufficient to cover operational expenses, the
Alumni Associations of these colleges have had sufficient funds to turn over large
amounts to their Loyalty Fund, to be used for projects such as libraries, special
equipment, and scholarships.

Your Board of Directors has been studying this matter for some time, and
readv to proceed. A letter v ill be sent in October to all graduates of
BSC, giving full details of the Loyalty Fund projects. It is hoped that this will
lead to increased lovaltv on the part of the Alumni, and that every BSC graduate
will make an annual contribution, however small.
A contribution of only one
dollar a vear by every Alumnus will result in an income of $10,000 every year.

know that you will respond regularly and generously.

Dean Hoch completed his doctoral
program in the area of Secondary
Education. His thesis topic was “Student Opinion Regarding the Effectiveness of Instruction in Classes Preparing Secondary Teachers.” Based on
two surveys of student opinion concerning the effectiveness of college
teaching at Bloomsburg State College,
the study concluded that students preparing for careers in the field of secondary education consider their instruction at Bloomsburg to be more
effective than ineffective.
The Bloomsburg dean, who came
to the local college in 1946 as an assistant football coach, has served as

dean of men, director of public relations, and director of athletics during
his twenty-year tenure. He was also
head football coach in 1946 following
the death of Alden J. “Lefty” Danks,
with whom he worked in Milton High
School and at BSC. The 1946 Huskies
had a record of 4-3-1 in the first year
of competition following the war years
and launched a revival of interest in
the fall sport at the local institution.
Dean Hoch graduated from the Milton High School and received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts with honors
from the Pennsylvania State University and the Master of Arts degree
from Bucknell University. He taught
in the Milton schools from 1934 until
1946 when he resigned in order to accept a position at Bloomsburg State
College.

During the first semester of the
college year 1966-1967, beginning September 10, he will serve as acting
president of the college while

Quiet and unassuming, Miss Hourigan was a dedicated teacher, her
service going far beyond the classroom and concerning itself with the
personal lives of the children who
turned to her for counsel and help
with family problems.
Not only was she a stimulating example, but she instilled in her charges a sense of values, furnishing the
motivation and desire for a better
way of life through their studies.
Many a man and women has her to
thank for a successful career.
No reference to Miss Hourigan

A TIME FOR DECISIONS
The organization and control

of State (Teachers) Colleges, has changed very little in the last two
doctoral dissertation, titled “The Development of Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges as
Institutions of Higher Education (1927-1948),” shows the time for change was then, twenty years ago,
long overdue. The direct political control of the Boards of Trustees, whose members are appointed by
the Governor of the Commonwealth for overlapping terms, did not give the amount of autonomy necessary for the individual institutions to grow, develop, and expand to meet the needs of the youth who were
the sons and daughters of the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.
In the present session of the Legislature, two bills will be introduced to amend (1) the Administrative Code to provide for the appointment of one Board of Trustees for all State Colleges, and (2) the
School Code to provide for a Board of Advisors for each college.

decades.

My

In our advancing stage of growth and development, the proposed legislation will give greater authorthe Presidents of the several colleges who will be responsible for the carrying out of general policies developed by the Board of State College Trustees with the advice and counsel of their local Board

namely: the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Director of Teacher Education and Certification,
and a staff member in the Plant Division, were only barely adequate to meet the needs of the institutions which were expanding slowly in the areas of plant, personnel, enrollments, and new educational
leges,

programs.
Enrollments are now well in excess of 50,000 students, and a goal of at least 70,000 (to 110,000) students has been established for the next decade. The administrative staff at the state level must be
expanded to take care of the growth of the institutions which will continue to absorb larger numbers of
new students in new programs. These patterns of growth were never envisioned by those educators who
predicted great things for the State Teachers Colleges, even in their wildest flights of fancy.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is appointed for a four-year term by the Governor
of the Commonwealth with the advice and consent of the Senate. There are those who feel that the chief
school officer of the State must always give attention to the effect of any decisions he makes regarding
the State Colleges in relation to his continuance in office. As a cabinet member, the State Superintendent has the authority to transmit and recommend Budget Requests for higher education to the Governor. However, there is a feeling that the general policies should be developed by a single Board of Trustees whose first and prime responsibility is to the colleges, the students enrolled therein, the faculty,
and alumni.
There are still others who insist that as long as appointments are made by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, even though the appointments are for overlapping terms, party politics will continue to play as large a part in education as ever, no matter if the power of developing policies is given
to one Board of Trustees or if it is lodged in one man, such as the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The local Boards of Trustees, which have been extant since the beginning of these institutions as
State (owned) Normal Schools, have always been appointed by the Governor. Appointees have been of
the same party that was in power at the time vacancies were filled. In more recent times, there has
been a feeling that the county chairman of the particular party in power at the time the appointment
was made, has too much to say regarding the appointment of trustees.
On the other hand, because of the geographic location of the fourteen State institutions, it was
thought that the local Boards of Trustees and colleges should be responsive to needs of the particular
region of their location. Otherwise, a type of administration, responsible only to a bureau in Harrisburg, could have been organized and operated, giving little thought or attention to local conditions

The laboratory school, located in
the Benjamin Franklin Building on
the campus of Bloomsburg State Colafter,

lege since 1930, will terminate
its
operations at the end of the 1966-1967
college year.
Although the campus
laboratory
school has played an important role
in the preparation of teachers in elementary education, the college has
been aware for several years that the
facilities of
the
school
laboratory
were no longer sufficiently adequate
for instruction, research, and experimentation in elementary education.
The decision to discontinue this
phase of the college program was
made early in 1965, following a meeting
with
representatives
the
of
Bloomsburg Area School Board. In

order to minimize inconvenience and
hardship for the public schools in the
area, college authorities
planned a
phasing out process which
would
begin with the termination of the kindergarten and first grade in September, 1965, and end in June, 1968. Letters were mailed to the parents of all
students in March, 1965, listing the
date when each of the grades would
be discontinued.
Indications
were
also given that the laboratory school
might be closed at a date earlier than
June, 1968, if the number of children
dropped below a desirable level.

Enrollment Drops
According to Dr. Royce O. Johnson,
director of Elementary Education at
BSC, student enrollment during the
current year dropped to a total of 67
in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6.
One of the
reasons for this decrease in enrollment was caused by parents who had

children in other elementary
buildings and wanted to reduce their

jected enrollment for 1967-1968 would
have totalled 35-45 for grades 4, 5 and
6.
It was felt that this would not provide the proper social and academic
environment for the children, and it
would be difficult to justify the cost
of operation for this

number.

In recent years, the expanding college enrollment has led to the openteaching

the Student Center was planned as a
part of a Dining Room, Kitchen, and Student

to the administration of die college, this proinally,

was divided into turn projects.
The
amount for the Student Center was
wholly inadequate. Five other colleges were

planning of the Student Center in two phases,
one to cost one-half million dollars and the other to cost $800,000, does not

For these reasons, we have requested the State Superintendent, and he
has agreed, in turn, to request the Secretary of the Administration Budget
to add $800,000 to the Capital Budget, since it became apparent, when the
architect began to study the project, that the original sum of $450,000 was
not adequate even for the present student body of over 3,000.
By the time
the structure is completed, there will be 4,000 or more students on the

Gehrig said the reduction in loans is

He anticipates a growing demand in the coming year. Income from the fund was

President’s Message
Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president
of the College, extended greetings and
called attention to the fact that the
College now has $16 million in buildings under construction or being designed. He said education, above all,
has to do with people. The present
plans call for in institution that can
acccmcdate a student body of 6,000
with the probability that the goal will
be raised.
He spoke of the lack of space for
expansion at “the College on the hill”
where there is a main campus of
sixty acres.
Sixty-eight
additional
acres were acquired from the former
Bloomsburg Country Club.
Attention was called to the fact that
this particular area has not
been
growing in population as some parts
of the state as a whole and that the
state is not increasing as some states.
He told of the current trend to attend
college close to residence, with reluctance to go more than a hundred
miles to school. However, BSC has

the sixty-seven counties.

Can Britain Continue To
Be A World Power
Without Its
Colonies?
Throughout the years the colonial
policy of the British Empire has passed through a series of four stages.
During the first stage, when Sir
Francis Drake directed the defeat of

the Spanish Armada
Cook recorded his famous exploits

area,
the
in the Pacific
navy roamed the seas of the world.
In this period of exploration information was brought back to the British
merchants which enabled them to set
ip trade relations with native populations in almost every port of the globe.
The second stage, that of expansion,
followed with the formation of comadventurers
panies of venturers or
such as the Virginia Company, the
Massachusetts Company, the British
East India, and the Hudson’s Bay
Company. Some of these companies
settled lands with people who were
looking for better opportunities in the
New World or with those who wished
to escape from religious persecution.
Transplanting these people resulted in
a rise of trade in tobacco, rum, tea,
and furs. This second stage of expansion was chiefly an era of trading
by individuals, including nobles and

even monarchs, who had taken shares
for development of new and unexplored lands.

However, England was not

committed

to

defend these new

settle-

ments.

Once these two stages, expansion
and exploration, were completed, the
third stage, exploitation, began. This
was characterized, chiefly, by trade
between the colonies and the Island
Kingdom; raw materials were shipped
to England, manufactured into finished goods, and then transported into
various world markets.
With the passage of time, a fourth
and more recent stage developed

the 20% discount offered in almost all

Charles de Gaulle, who is one of the
last remaining leaders of World War
II, was not considered by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill
to be the leader of the
French
nation in revolt against the
Vichy
government.
However, through a
combination of circumstances during
the American liberation of France,
de Gaulle somehow created the general impression that he had saved
Paris from being burned.

The French colonial empire has
gradually disintegrated. Some think
that de Gaulle’s conciliatory attitude

colony,

French investments in that area from

parties into something resembling a

strong central government,
he will go down in French history as
a sort of male Joan of Arc. When
de Gaulle eventually leaves the political scene, the power struggle will undoubtedly be a disorderly contest to
establish a successor to this great
leader. Some think that de Gaulle is
currently trying to play the old “balance of power’’ game, acting as a
middle man between Russia and the
United States (the East and the West)
in their ideological and military conflicts.

In the near future, we shall probknow the answer to several
questions.

The Floods of Florence
In October, 1966, the whole world
read or heard news reports of the
flood waters of the Arno River cover-

ing the historic city of Florence, Italy,
to a height of three to six feet.
There had been high waters in the
Arno River before, but a combination

events produced this mighty flood.
fall rains made it necessary to
open the flood gates of reservoir dams
in the mountains to prevent them from
collapsing.
Flowing down the mountainsides, these waters uprooted huge
trees which were carried downstream
beand eventually became lodged
tween the arches of the bridges spanning the Arno River. Thus, new dams
were formed backing up the waters
flowing towards the sea. Of the nine
bridges over the Arno, the first three
met the full rush of the flood waters
and raised the water level until Florence, located above the Ponte Vecchio

As the waters rushed down the

the shore because of high winds from
the Ligurian Sea. Therefore, the flood
waters could not flow into the ocean

as rapidly as they normally would,
thus backing up the water.
One of the freaks of the flood occurred in an art gallery when a column of water came up through the

others were lost completely.
Two months later, visitors to Florence were disappointed to find the
cathedral and many of the museums
and art galleries closed to visitors,
while other buildings were opened on
a very limited time schedule. Unless
the high water mark on the buildings
was pointed out, or one passed through
streets where parked automobiles had
been covered with sludge and oily
wastes, it was hard to believe that
such a beautiful city could have been
cleaned up in such a short time. Some
transients were even disappointed in
not being able to view more of the
flood damage. Yet, inside the art galleries there were scores of famous
paintings from 300-500 years old in the
process of being dried out or repaired. Some of the panels of the Ghiberti
doors were missing, and many of the
bronze plaques had been removed for

safekeeping.

Florence today is cleaner than it
has ever been before and probably
ever will be again. Every basement
and low-lying ground or first floor
had to be emptied of the contents,
fumigated, cleaned, and in some cases
painted, before business could be re-

sumed.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been contributed by people all
over the world to repair the
flood
damage. The efforts of American art
students residing in Florence
were
praised by authorities for their contributions during the time of the flooding and the period of repair. An Italian crew on a ship traveling from
Australia to Genoa contributed
one
day’s wages to the

When

of the fact that the sun

resulting in Britain’s becoming

In this process, what has been the

Since the Americans, under the command of General Mac Arthur, did go
to Austi’alia in large numbers, did
stay until the war was over, and did
demonstrate concern over the Far
East, the Australian, on the whole,
respects and likes the American.

The Australian is not impressed
with the Britisher who comes into his
country with pre-conceived ideas of
how it should resemble his homeland.
There was a time when deportees
from Britain, including convicts who
were to receive the death penalty,
were sent or escaped to America.
But when the American colonies gained their independence, Australia became the place where British people,
convicted of minor crimes with serIn the
ious penalties, were sent.
1700’s, there were over 200 crimes
for which a person could be put to
death; some of these crimes were as
inconsequential as letting the water
out of dams or stealing anything of
value of one pound which was then
equal to $5.00.

Since Nasser was unable to get the
financing for the Aswan Dam from
the Americans and had to turn to the
Russians and other countries for financial aid, he has had difficulty in
paying the interest on these debts.
Even though the Suez Canal, contrary
to past predictions, is making a profit
of more than thirty millions of dollars
a year, this amount is too small to
pay for the construction of the Aswan
Dam which is to be 17 pyramids high.
At the present time, construction is up
to only the 14th pyramid level, and it
will be some time before it will be
completed.

He thoroughly enjoyed music and
often entertained us in the recreation
room by playing on the piano. One
evening after dinner, I sat there reading, when a student came in, sat down
at the piano and started to play. He
struck a few chords, sensed something wrong, and left the piano. Oscar
went to the piano, struck a few notes,
sensed something wrong, pushed back
the stool, got down on his knees, took
off the front panel, found the trouble,
repaired it, and proceeded to give us
some fine music. This was the way
he met all challenges.
He has left us, but all who knew and

SUMMER THEATRE STARS
PROFESSIONAL ACTORS
Summer theatre comes to the
Bloomsburg area when Bloomsburg
State College opens its summer theatre program in the six-weeks summer
session of 1987.
Two major productions will be presented with selected
stars from the professional stage.
The two plays will be one part of a
double barrellel program of theatre
this summer, the other being a Theatre Arts Program of courses for credit
given in the Speech Department.
Staff for this

combined

effort will

be members of the Department of
Speech; stage directors, Robert Richey and Michael McHale and technical
director,

James McCubbin. Each

work on the summer plays and each
Theatre
will teach a course in the
Arts Program.
The theatre resources of the College
will be augmented with the completion of the new auditorium which will
have a professional sized stage and
fully
modern,
equipment with a
equipped scene shop. A special feature will be
an electronic pre-set

which will provide the
equipment and con-

latest in lighting

By

combining

the

resources

of

Bloomsburg State College’s physical
plant and student body with the community and with the professional stage
will give the area a major regional
theatre.
Negotiations are underway
for the engagement of a star performer for a leading role in each of the
two major productions.
A second phase of theatre at

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

The 1937 edition of Alumni Day proved to be very successful. The attendance was good, and the attendance at the Alumni luncheon was much better than
last year.
The success of the reunion was due to the work done by those who
had consented to act as class chairmen and make the necessary arrangements
for their class meetings. One or two classes had no special program because no
one would accept the responsibility.
The classes of the years ending in 3 and 8 will hold their reunions on Alumni
Day, April 27, 1968. In a short time the Alumni office will send letters to selected persons, asking them to act as chairmen for their reunions next year. We
hope that either they will accept or give us the name of someone who would be
willing to take the job. You should begin at once to check class lists and try to
locate those persons whose addresses are unknown.
The Alumni office can
supply these lists.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors on Alumni Day, the board voted
It is now possible for a student to borrow up to
$500 in any one year, and borrow up to $2000 during the four years spent in
college.
The source of these loans is the MeNinch Fund, the total equities of
which now amount to $148,572.26, as reported by Treasurer Earl Gehrig at the
Alumni meeting.
to liberalize the loan policy.

Six scholarships were presented bv the Alumni Association at a college
assembly held in Centennial Gymnasium on Wednesday, May 10. As a result
of the Loyalty Fund campaign, more funds will be available during the next
college year. We have made a fine start, and we hope that our goal of $10,000
will be reached every year.
Large contributions will not be necessary if the
great majority of BSC Alumni will continue to respond. Let us keep going!

Editor’s Note:
In accordance
with a program announced some
time ago, Ben Franklin School on
the campus of the
Bloomsburg
State College was discontinued at
the close of the last term so the
building might be used for the
college student program.
This
closes a century of instruction of
children on campus. The following article presents the history of
this phase of the program that has
had a marked influence on several
generations of youngsters who
spent their youth in Bloomsburg

and

vicinity.)

The roots of both the education of
children and provisions for student
teaching on the campus of Bloomsburg State College reach back a full
century.

were preparing to teach primary

And furthermore, there is
no mention of the
name “Model

for this particular year.
However, the catalogue for the coming year does describe the “Model
School” and states its objectives, and
the 1868-1869 catalogues states that
the “Model School” course was designed to accomplish two objectives
“first, to afford those attending it as
pupils, the very
best
instruction;
secondly, to place before the normals
(students) correct models of methods
of instruction and school management
as was practicable.”

SEPTEMBER,

1967

Discontinued

From a description stated in the
catalogue, the “Model School” was
divided into two departments, the primary and the common school. In the
primary,
children
were admitted
from six to ten years of age, and the
instruction was by means of object
and oral lessons; special attention was
paid to physical culture, vocal and instrumental music. In the common
school department, object and
oral
lessons were continued with orthography, reading and elocution, penmanship, drawing,
mental and written
arithmetic, physical and political geography, grammar, composition, and
vocal music.
It was during the 1868-1869 school
year that Professor F. M. Bates was
appointed as the first head of the
campus school for children. This new

position carried the title of Superintendent of the Model School, as well
as teaching geography, history and
bookkeeping. It is evident that the

new superintendent was

one-story, white clapboard building
known as Hemlock Hall. The school
in repeatedly described in the catalogues year after year as a “onestory building seventy-two feet long
by twenty-four feet wide and well arranged for the purposes of this department of the school.” George J.
Vanderslice, a well known senior resident of Bloomsburg, remembers well
the school in detail. He describes the
building as being located about seventy-five feet north of Carver Hall running parallel with Penn Street, and

school to train teachers in the new
methods for the schools of the city.
In essence, the object of this plan is
not so much to just impart information, but to educate the senses, arouse,
quicken, and develop the perceptive
and conceptive faculties, teach the
children to observe, and to awaken a
spirit of inquiry.
In 1871 and 1872, Lizzie Schuyler
was appointed as the superintendent,
followed by Laura E. Harris in 1873.
It was during this academic year that
the title of superintendent was changed to “Principal.” In 1874 Miss Harris
married H. E. Barrett, a professor of
Latin, Greek and methods. She continued, however, as principal of the
Model School until the close of the
1875-1876 school year.
In the fall of 1876, William Noetling
became the instructor of elocution,
theory and practice of teaching and
as such was the administrative head
of the Model School and continued in
this capacity until 1900. It was during
this period that he completed and had
published the “Notes on the Science

and Art of Education”, a book of
methods and suggestions for prospective teachers.

Normal (Noetling) Hall and Hemlock
Hall were used for student teaching
purposes for the next year or two
before the latter structure was
removed. Sometime during this period
until it
was razed, the original
“Model School” was renovated
to
“house the servants” who had been
living in the dormitory.
These “servants” referred to the women who
worked in the kitchen and dining
room, and did general cleaning about
the dormitory.
Bids had been received in October,
1885, to erect Noetling Hall, described
in the contract, also, as the “Model
School Building”. The bid of Charles
Fenez, “to erect a building in accordance with the specifications of the
architect as to materials
”, for
$13,485 was accepted. The contractor

to

complete the building by

July, 1886.

William B. Sutliff, who for many
years served the college at both instructional and administrative levels,
described the building as “containing
many small classrooms which accommodated not more than five or six
children, the student teacher and an
observer.”
Continuing he said, “It
never seemed to occur to the faculty
or Trustees that student teaching in
a regular classroom under
normal
conditions may have been a better
plan.
However, the plan for many
small classes seemed to be the usual
one.

The Army, according to word re-

fifteen new units may be established
during each of these years. These are
the first units to be added to the colleg level

since 1952.

At present, the Army ROTC program is conducted on 247 college and

The basic criteria for selection are:
The institution must be an accredited

Public Instruction, told 399 graduates
of the

An overflow audience of

held

in

relatives
and friends of the class witnessed the
awarding of sixteen Master’s and 383

Bachelor Degrees.
Dr. Rackley, who has returned to
his position as provost at the Pennsylvania State University but is also
serving in the state superintendent’s
office until a successor
is
named,
spoke of education as a “synthetsis of

human

experience” and summarized

the tremendous growth of elementary,
secondary and higher education in the
Commonwealth in terms of both the

age twelve

number of students and the funds
which must be provided for the support of these educational programs.
The educator noted that in California and some other
states,
public

higher education has been commonplace for a number of years. “Pennsylvania is now working towards a
similar arrangement through the development of a master plan in higher
education.”
The enrollment of students in higher education will double in the next
fifteen years and this, Dr. Rackley
stated, “will necessitate both a broadening and an expansion of the curri-

culum.”
With regard to responsibilities of an
educated person, the noted educator
pointed out that an “educated person
is less free than the uneducated persons in many respects. As he comes
more and more to accept his obligations, he finds an increase in his responsibilities accompanied by a limited freedom of choice.
“The educated person must make
proper choices, do those things which
are ideal for the young people he will
lead, and also do those things which
are best for our national destiny.
“We have a culture of change and
we live with the tensions that come
with change. We must have people
who can cope with and assess change
properly and constructively.”

Naming

o f College Build ings

ADDRESS BY DR. PIARVEY

A. ANDRUSS AT DEDICATION CEREMONIES
OCTOBER 12, 1937

Before 1927, the designation or naming of the buildings on the campus of what is
the Bloomsburg State College was rather informal. Buildings were named in terms
For instance, Institute (now Carver) Kail was so named
of their function or use.
because it was the first building at the end of Main or Second Street, constructed under
terms of the Charter of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute. Then came a dormitory
which burned down in 1875 and was replaced shortly thereafter. Around 1886, the
Model School for elementary pupils was constructed and the dormitory building was
connected with it, onto which was built the old gymnasium. These buildings, along
with Science Hall, so named in 1906, constituted the old, red brick, campus group.
A quarter of a century later, 1930, a second training school for children in the elementary grades was occupied, and formally named the Benjamin Franklin Training

now

School.

a committee authorized by the Trustees designated the dormitory buildModel School as iMoetling Hall; the first building known as
Institute Hall was rechristened Carver Hall in honor of the first principal, and the old

About

name.

under the first General State Authority program, during the administration of Dr. Francis B. Haas, a gymnasium, a junior high school, a laundry, and a
maintenance building were constructed. The Centennial Gymnasium was so designated
to observe the first century of education which began in the Bloomsburg Academy
Dedication ceremonies included addresses by Governor Arthur H. James
in 1839.
and Superintendent of Public Instruction, Francis B. naas, formerly President of the
Bloomsburg State College from 1927 to 1939. If there had not been an indication by

decade

later,

Dr. Haas of his conviction that the buildings should not be named for those now living,
the Centennial Gymnasium would have borne his name.
The Junior High School building was not occupied until the early 1940’s, and then
it was used by the Navy war programs for training aviators and deck officers. Thus,
Navy Hall was designated during World War II by common usage, and the name has
continued. Bloomsburg probably trained more World War II Armed Forces personnel
than any college of its size in America.
College planning began in 1941 with the provision for 1200 students, using only 45
acres limited by Chestnut Street the number to be reached at an indefinite future date.
Then, the steady increase during the last decade involved a series of plans providing for
2,000, 3,000, 3,b00, 5,600, and so on, unul now 6,000 students in the 19s0’s seems to be a
possible future prospect.
The completion of four dormitories with a fifth in the process of construction, along
with these changes in campus planning, has led to a policy of designating, rather than
naming, these buildings, until a revised or finalized plan has been developed. In fact,
the dormitory now being constructed over a closed portion of Wood Street will accomodate 672 students, a number which equals or exceeds the average enrollment of the
first twenty years of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
There is a limit to names in terms of the cardinal points of the compass: north,
east, south, and west, so the present dormitory being constructed will probably be
called, the Wood Street Dormitory, until such a time as the Board oi Trustees considers
the total campus plan and its implications.
Some institutions have named dormitories after the counties of Pennsylvania which
they serve, and others have used the names of trees.
However, major new structures, such as an Auditorium and a Library, cannot and
need not go unnamed awaiting the finalizing of campus plans.
We are here today for the purpose of dedicating these structures.
So, it is my honor and pleasure to announce the name of this structure in which we
are now assembled. This building will bear the name adopted by the Board of Trustees
to commemorate the name of one who served five Governors of Pennsylvania as SupServing as President of this college when it was
erintendent of Public Instruction
in its swaddling clothes of moving, during the depression, to four year curriculums leading to the Bachelor’s degree. A most difficult task. Twice elected President of the
Pennsylvania State Teachers Association; piloting Pennsylvania public education during
the World War II years, holder of honorary degrees from several of our Commonwealth’s leading colleges and universities— are only a few of many honors borne by this
wise, modest, sagacious, dependable, responsible, and altogether unusual and respected
leader in Pennsylvania public and educational life.
It was my privilege to once dedicate a book to him in these words:
“To Francis B. Haas, Educational Mentor and Friend.”
and it is now my coveted honor to have this opportunity in the name of the Board of
Trustees of Bloomsburg to designate and dedicate this structure as,

The buildings dedicated were named by action of the board of trustees.
Robert L. Kunzig, director of the
General State Authority, was the principal speaker and outlined the part
played by the General State Authorproviding the physical plants
necessary for the Higher Education
program of Governor Raymond P.
Shafer for Pennsylvania students.
The dedication of the two buildings,
built by the GSA at a total financial
construction cost of $2,742,875, was a
part of the college’s Fall Convocation.
Kunzig also gave a short resume of
GSA construction at the Bloomsburg

stressing
the

better, faster, and less expensively.”
Tribute to Dr. Haas
In naming the new auditorium, Dr.

“It is now my coveted honor to have
this opportunity in the name of the

of Trustees of Bloomsburg to

as The Francis B. Haas Auditorium.”
Tribute to Dr. Andruss
Prior to naming the library, William A. Lank, President, Board
of
Trustees, gave a brief history of the
establishment of libraries and pointed
out their importance to colleges and
universities today.
“Members of today’s college community can point with pride to the library which was constructed at a cost
in excess of $1,000,000.
In addition to
its modern facilities, the architectural
style of the building adds to the aesthetic environment in

of the cost of constructing the library
was provided by Federal funds made
available by the Higher Education

Facilities Act of 1963.
He said, “The person

During the program State Senator

Howard F. Fenstemaker, president

named the eighteen buildings added
to the campus complex since he joined the teaching staff in 1926 and pledged the Alumni Association to an increasingly active and substantial program of support in the further projection of the College development.

SUMMER COMMENCEMENT
“Our major challenge is to help
others in their pursuit of education
higher for them and this is human
stewardship of the highest order,” Dr.
Chester T. McNerney, president of
Edinboro State College, told the summer graduating class at Bloomsburg
State College.
Speaking on the theme “The American Student in an Age of Expression,”
the educator asserted ’’certainly the
over-riding purpose of offering or acquiring a liberal and technical education is the development of a base for
reflection and if this is not so, there
can be no choice making.”
Forty-three Master of Education
degrees,
Bachelor
ninety-four
of
Science degrees, and nine Bachelor of
Arts degrees were conferred by Dr.

Dr. Archer L. Smethers ’96

Dr. Archer L. Smethers, Anderson,
South Carolina died Monday, June 26.
He was 92 years old at the time of
his death.
The following has been
clipped from the “Independent Anderson”:
Few individuals in Anderson’s history have contributed so much to this
city and county as Dr. Archer LeRoy
Smethers. Sixty of his 92 years were
spent in Anderson, where he became
the beloved patriarch of physicians in
addition to assuming burdens of leadership in untold number of civic and
religious undertakings.
Dr. Smethers was born in Pennsylvania October 12, 1874, and received
his first education in the rural schools
near Wilkes-Barre. Turning point of
his life came when he enrolled
at
Bloomsburg State Normal School,
where he met another student, Miss

Roy Nance, daughter of Judge and
Mrs. Robert Nance of Anderson. They
were married

in 1902.

Shortly thereafter, Dr. Smethers enrolled for medical training at the University of Michigan. He obtained his
degree in 1906. The young couple returned to his wife’s home town, whei’e

other civic-minded citizens. Dr. Smethers established the University Sanatorium on Main Street. Since Anderson Hospital had only 75 beds at that
time. Dr. Smethers’ institution met a
vital need during that period.
Dr. Smethers also provided yeoman
leadership during a crucial period for

in his honor.

As a life trustee and long-time
chairman of the trustee board, Dr.
Smethers deserved credit for placing
the college back on its feet.
Had it
not been for his devoted efforts, and
those of Dr. Annie D. Denmark and
a dedicated faculty, the college would
not have survived and been prepared
to enjoy the progress of more recent
years.
Listing his civic and religious activities would require far more space
than available. He was active in the
Chamber of Commerce for decades,
held charter membership in the Kiwanis Club, took a leading role in Red
Cross work, the Boy Scouts and, of
course, was active in the Anderson
County Medical Society and state and
national medical associations throughout his career.

“The Boards

of Trustees of the several
State Colleges
shall have general direction and control of the property and management of their respective institutions.”
This seems to be a rather awesome responsibility to be granted to individuals who are able
to give but a limited amount of time to the
supervision of a major enterprise.
Fortunately, the law grants the trustees the right to
elect a President to administer the affairs of
the institution. Due to the absentee relationship of the trustees, it is imperative that they,
as the governing body, entrust the administration of the college to the president. The president, as chief executive and planning officer,
should administer the affairs of the college and
delegate authority to administrative officers
and members of the faculty. The president, of
necessity, is the educational leader of the college and the trustees, looking upon him as the
for
executive officer, must rely upon him
leadership. The trustees, at all times, realizing their ultimate responsibility, should insist
upon adequate information, background material, and reports concerning the status of the

This is of great value
during our expanding enrollment and crowded
conditions as we must
depend upon our
townspeople for much-needed housing facilities.

The trustee

is often the buffer between the
administration and a student or family situation.
At this point, it is worthy to note that
proposals are before the State Legislature that
would practically eliminate Boards of Trustees
of State Colleges, who would be replaced by
advisory boards. Proposed legislation would
place previous powers held by local trustees in
the hands of a Board of Regents or Board of
State College Trustees and control would be at
the State level. This would remove the local
“flavor” and largely eliminate the personal
attention given by boards as they now exist.
Ihis proposal is a part of the Master Plan for
Higher Education and is being sponsored by
Governor Shafer.
Curriculum is primarily the responsibility
of the trained educator, who is a specialist in
his field. Under the State College system, the
Board of Presidents of State Colleges is charged with the responsibility of formulating educational policies “subject to any master plan for
higher education in Pennsylvania insofar as
such master plan bears on the educational poli-

cies of individual colleges.”

GRID RECORDS SET
1967 SEASON AT BSC

DURING

Thirty-two new Bloomsburg State
College football team records
were
established by its 1967 Husky team
that posted a 6-3 season
the first
winning season since 1960. In addition
three players, quarterback Dick Lich-

—

tel. tight end Bob Tucker and
split
end Stan Kucharski have received nat-

ratings in NCAA
and NAIA
weekly reports.
Lichtel completed the season with
ional

a total of 198 completions in 370 at(51 per cent) for 2771 yards, 26
TD’s, 23 interceptions, and a 307.8
yard per game average. In the latest NAIA report, the talented quarterback leads in individual passing,
which was good enough to give BSC
the lead in team passing offense, he
is listed third in total offense with a
273.7 yard per game average.

Tucker, with 77 receptions for 1325
yards, 13 TD’s, and a 147.2 yard per
game average, established three new
NAIA marks including total yardage,
individual game yard average,
and
total receptions. In addition to his 13
touchdowns, he has kicked 14 PAT’s,
1 field goal, and caught 3 conversion
passes for 101 points; this gives him
a fifth place in
NAIA individual
scoring.
Kucharski, prior to his knee injury
that sidelined him for the balance of
the season, had caught in three games
28 passes for 485 yards, 10 TD’s, and 2
conversion passes. At that time on
both the NCAA and the NAIA ratings Kucharski was first in pass receiving and individual scoring. Kucharski, who is also
a fine defensive
back, would have probably remained
among the leaders in those two categories.

Lichtel played the last five games
with a broken thumb on his passing

hand and still connected for 106
passes out of 237 attempts for 8 TD’s
and 5 conversions. Tucker, in playing
the last three games with a back injury, was limited
tions for 285 yards

and

17 total recep2 TD’s in those

contests.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

Saturday, April 27, the Alumni of the* classes ending in 3 and 8 will come
back to the campus for their reunions. Class representatives of these classes
have been busy since the beginning of the college year making the necessary

arrangements.

On Friday evening, April 26, the members of the Class of 1918, the Fifty
Year Class, together with the holders of the Distinguished Service Award, will
be the guests of the Alumni Association.

We are hoping that there will be a large attendance at the Alumni Meeting
on Saturday noon, in the College Commons. We have been greatly disappointed
in the past, because some of the classes having reunion dinners in the evening
were very poorly represented at the Alumni meeting. We also hope that none
of the classes will plan reunion meetings at the noon hour.
If you are planning to attend the Alumni luncheon, we request that you send
your reservation bv April 15. In the past it has been very difficult to estimate
the number that would be present, and on some occasions there has been a wide
gap between the number of meals prepared and the number of meals served.
Last year we asked for reservations, and the estimate was very close.

SECOND YEAR

As a result of the generosity of the Alumni, the amount contributed in the
Loyalty Fund campaign during the year beginning October 1, 1966, and ending
December 31, 1967, amounted to $11,035.12, thus exceeding our goal of $10,00. At the meeting of your Board of Directors on Homecoming Day, it was
decided to set our goal for the coming year at $15,000.00. Last Spring we gave
six scholarships of $200.00 each, and we hope to increase both the amount and
the number of scholarships this year. Part of the funds received are being used
to sponsor the broadcast of the football and basketball games, and the wrestling
matches. We sincerely hope that you will respond even more generously than
you did last year.

A CENTURY OF EDUCATION FOR TEACHERS

the resolution was approved three days later.

the Superintendent of Public Instruction, James P. Wickersham, who was seeking new sites for schools to train teachers.

Thus began a century of education for teachers. First
the curriculum was only two years long, then three, then

and now

five.

Seven years later in 1927, the name of the fourteen institutions was changed to State
Teachers College, and the curriculum limited to the specific function of teacher education.
In 1980 Bloomsburg became a State College and courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts
degree were approved two years later.

Now Bloomsburg faces a major reorganization in administration of three currieulums on
the undergraduate level: Arts and Sciences, Education, and Business Administration— beyond this
base, a graduate school offering Master’s Degrees.
In time the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelors of Science in both

At a recent meeting, trustees of
BSC unanimously adopted a resolution noting that “the Board of trustees wishes to note the retirement of
Mr. Walter S. Rygiel, whose period of
service at Bloomsburg State College
has spread over a period of more than
three decades. He has demonstrated
his ability as a writer of textbooks
and is recognized as one of the best
and most beloved members of the
College teaching staff. The accomplishments of his students in the field
of shorthand have been recognized
both nationally and internationally.
“The Board of Trustees and the
President of the College, while
regretting the retirement of such a valued faculty member, wish to record

COLLEGE PAYROLL NEAR
MARK ANNUALLY

$4,000,000
The year 1968 will find Bloomsburg
State College continuing its outstanding progress in the field of education.
This progress will not only have a
tremendous effect on the college community and physical aspects of the
campus but will greatly enhance the
financial
picture
of
the
greater
Bloomsburg area.
The latter is
brought into sharper focus with the
fact that the operation of the college
and expenditures by students, faculty,
and visitors will bring more than $5,300,000 to Bloomsburg and the surrounding area this year.

This amount will be brought into
the town of

Bloomsburg and the

sur-

rounding area by salaries,
wages,
and expenditures of the college community of nearly 3,700 individuals for
the period July 1, 1967 to June 30,
1968. This figure breaks down yearly
to a college payroll of $4,000,000 paid
to faculty, non-instructional personnel,

part-time students, college store and
snack bar
employees,
community
activities, office personnel, and A.R.A.
Slater Dining Service personnel. The
remaining $1,300,000 will be spent by
students attending classes for the 48week period which includes the 12-

week summer

session.
Surveys indicate that of the latter
amount $693,900 will be spent by the
775 students residing in private homes
and
apartments
in
Bloomsburg;
$352,296 will be spent by those students residing on campus or in college
designated residences; the 899 com-

muting students will spend another
$161,820; the remaining $92,400 will
be spent by students attending the 12

week summer

session.

The numerous

events taking place on campus during the year attract thousands of visitors and parents of students bringing
an indeterminable amount of money
into the area.
Progress Report
Progress was apparent during 1967
in all

phases of the

living,

learning,

and recreation aspects at BSC. The
Admissions Office distributed over 6,300 applications for admission during
the year with more than 3,500 candidates initiating application procedures
at the college.
Slightly over
1,000
students were enrolled for the first
time during 1967. The fall enrollment
of 3,214 undergraduate students was
the largest enrollment in the history
of the college. At the same time the

number

of faculty

members was

in-

creased by approximately 20 to bring
the total to 208, while the number of
non-instructional employees mounted
to 192.

Application materials have been distributed at a steady pace over
the
past few months and indications are
that there will be an increase in the
number of applications in 1968. The
college is aiming toward an enroll-

ment

approximately 3,700 students
for the fall of 1968, with a faculty of
slightly over 275 members.
Currently, 1,398 students are living

completion of additional dormitory

will commute from their own homes.

Building Program
In order to keep abreast of present
and future enrollments, the building
program at the college continues at
a remarkable pace. Three projects
the Francis B. Haas Auditorium,
South Hall Dormitory and an extension of utilities on the lower campus

—

were completed in 1967. Ground was
broken for two more buildings, the
Wood Street Dormitory for 6/2 men
and the Science Classroom building,
both scheduled for completion during
1968.
During this year, ground will
be broken for dining hall kitchen
facilities to seat 1,000 and feed 2,000;
a dormitory for 400 women; a general
classroom building; a maintenance
building-garage a parking area; an
athletic field and stadium; and an extension of utilities for the upper campus. Architect’s sketches for an ad-

;

ministration building and student cenbe submitted during 1968 while
at the same time additional land acquisitions are planned
to
provide
areas for roads and parking. Nearly
$19,000,000 in construction funds
is
involved in these 15 projects.
Alert to the changes dictated by an
increasing complex society and the
needs of students, the Academic Affairs Committee of the faculty has
had under consideration a number of
new courses which will lend interest
to the present programs.
The faculty
committee is also considering the
deletion of a number of courses in all
curriculums which are no longer considered to be an important part of the
four year college program. The attention of the faculty has been direct-

ter will

ed towards planning for a visit of a
committee of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools and the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education;
this has been arranged for the spring
semester of 1969.
An interesting sidelight has been
the addition of students to committees
of the faculty. These representatives
of the student body have proven to
be most valuable in deliberations concerning curriculums and curricular
matters. Although the college cannot

make an announcement

will
be
made available to BSC students in the
next few years, applicants for admission in 1968 have been advised of the
availability of a four year program

the college, which began with a total
of 100 students in its initial summer
in 1961 and has now grown to approximately 1,200 students, was supple-

mented with a new degree program
in the foreign language
areas
of
French, German, and Spanish in the
fall semester of 1967.
Plans, which
were laid to implement a graduate
degree program in the field of speech,
may soon become a reality.
The
number of graduate assistants has
continued to grow.
Nine students
served in this capacity during the fall
semester of 1967, and this number
will be increased by several during
the first semester of 1968.
Although some limitations were experienced in practice facilities, the

program

sports

of

the

nine

varsity

teams at the college continued on the
upswing, with attendance records being recorded in several sports.
The
calibre of the participation not only

on

BSC

teams, but of opponents

as

showed a marked improvement.
In general, most
of
the
varsity
squads had winning seasons with the
football team and several of its memwell,

bers reciving national recognition in
small college ratings. Indications are
the overall sports program will conto produce Maroon and Gold
teams that will be a credit to the

tinue

college.

There has, indeed, been

marked

progress at Bloomsburg State
College during 1967, and this progress
should continue at the same rate during 1968 and future years. Bloomsburg State College is proud of the
service it contributes to the residents
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and pledges a continuation of improved service and progress in 1968.

date of Alumni Day 1969. has not been officially set, but presumably will fall
on the last Saturday in April. Class representatives should get in contact with
the Alumni Office very soon, in order that class lists may be brought up to date.

There must be quite a number of Alumni who would be able to make
generous provisions for the Alumni Association in their wills. We hope that
such persons will give this matter serious consideration. Why not talk to your
lawver about it?

Something Seems To Happen Every Seven Years
We are about to celebrate One Hundred Years
Teacher Education at Bloomsburg. The Normal
School was approved by the Chartering Committee
on February 19, 1869.

of

Let us look back a bit and see some of the significant dates that are milestones along the way.
Maybe we are playing a number game but, at any
rate, it will serve to sharpen our awareness of the
signposts of progress.
In 1911 Pennsylvania decided it should bring all
School Laws together in one volume and for the
first time we had what is known as The School Code.
Among the provisions of this new document was a
section which provided that the State could purchase
the Normal Schools to which annual appropriations
had been made for many years. This was a significant document and dates the beginning of support
its

by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for public
higher education.

—This

is the date when the purchase of the sevNormal Schools began. All of them were
not purchased in the same year. Bloomsburg,
coming along in the train oi the seven-year
period, was purchased in 1916 and finally in
1920 — all of the present institutions became the prop-

1913

eral

erty of the State and, for the first time, appli-

cants for admission were required to be high
school graduates. Curriculums were required
to be similar if not uniform and for seven
years this continued until in

1927

— the

year at Bloomsburg and then went on to the
mother institution. This was a seven-year period of experimentation and transition.
Then
marked a milestone in the attitude of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania toward its State
Teachers Colleges.
Construction since 1925
consisted mainly of renovating old buildings
and the addition of a few other necessary
buildings, such as campus laboratory schools.
In this year, the State seemed to reach the
decision it must expand its own public higher
institutions and the second General State Authority program began.
This period of expan-

sion in plant was followed in
1962— by the change in name from State Teachers
College to State College (1960) and with the
beginning of graduate programs leading to the
Master’s degree and the admission of students
who, at the end of four years, would receive
the Bachelor of Arts degree.
With
these
seven-year periods marking significant events,
we now reach the year of
1939 What can we expect of this year?
Certainly
the Alumni of any State College can, in the
not too distant future, envision the change in
name to that of a State University. However,
it is not likely that the change in name itself
would explain the steps necessary to achieve

1968 Commencement and Baccalaureate
“The now must be upheld but one
must move beyond legal concerns in
the underlying significances and the underlying causes of
student unrest,” Dr. Mark R. Shedd,
superintendent of the public schools
of Philadelphia, told 515 graduates of
the Bloomsburg State College at commencement exercises held in Haas

of parents and friends.
There were 497 Bachelor and eighteen Master degrees conferred by Dr.

Greatest Challenge

"The greatest challenge we all face
as educators is how to redefine the
role of teachers and students in the
process of education—those roles and
processes which enable
responsible
but relevant and creative participation of students in shaping the institution particularly
the
educational
institutions— which
in
turn
shapes
their environment and lives,”
Dr.

Shedd

said.

Dr. Shedd stated, “Like most phenomenon, today’s student unrest, as exhibited in the streets of Paris, the
president’s office at Columbia,
and
high schools around the country, can
be analyzed from many points of view,

and many of them valid.
“The easiest and most tempting

the eye-glasses of the law. It is clear
that laws are being violated, and it
is clear that this country cannot survive without law.
“But if the analysis is limited to a
legalistic one, we would justly be accused of peering through the wrong
end of a telescope. The trick is to
uphold the law but to move beyond

Must Confront Basic Changes
“I believe that to do so, is to confront basic changes in the nature of

a large implication for education and

In referring to the challenge facing
all educators today, the Philadelphia
educator said, “If we are unable to

schools will grow, not only in schools,

Hartline Building Is Nearing Completion
The Hartline Building, a $2,385,122
structure being erected on the BSC
campus to house facilities for study
and research in the sciences, was reported fifty-eight per cent completed
on June 20 and the contract calls for
the work to be finished by December
18.
It is being constructed by the
General State Authority.
Announcement was made to the
BSC alumni at their get together this
spring that the building will named
for Prof. D. S. Hartline, a member of
the “old guard” of Bloomsburg Norman and a dedicated educator; for his
wife, who was also a valued member
of the faculty for some time; and their
son, Dr. Harlon Keffer Hartline, a
graduate of the school and a Nobel
prize winner during the past year.
It is believed that once the building is completed and in operation it
will become known as the
Hartline
Science Center.

Modern Laboratories
This new building will provide modern science laboratories in several
branches of the sciences, plus classrooms and lecture rooms

for instruc-

tion in these

sciences as well as in
other fields. To meet these requirements, the structure is divided into
three articulate wings; one for
the
science laboratories, another for classrooms and small lecture rooms, and a
third made up of three 100-seat lecture
halls and a 300-seat amphitheatre.
Twelve laboratories will serve courses in botany, microbiology,
general
physics, advanced physics, zoology,
earth sciences, organic
chemistry,
analytical chemistry, general chemistry, and radioisotopes.
Each laboratory will have specialized equipment
and facilities for the science it serves.
There will be preparation rooms adjacent to each laboratory for use of
the instructor, along
with
storage
space for standard laboratory equip-

ment.
In addition to the

major laborator-

Student Honors laboratories also
will be provided.
These are smaller
units where students doing special research may carry on their projects
over extended periods of time wiihout
being disturbed. Six such laboratories
will be available for botany, physics,
zoology, and chemistry research.
Twenty-three faculty offices and
three secretarial areas will serve the
science faculty and
instructors
in
other fields. Classrooms and lecture
rooms in three basic sizes will accomodate student groupings. Lecture
ies,

rooms

will have the additional facility of a science demonstration table
fitted with hot and cold water, gas and

compressed air for experiments.
Amphitheatre Wing
The amphitheatre wing will be air
conditioned and will include a main
lobby and exhibition space in addition
to the three lecture halls
and the
theatre itself.
The exhibition space
will meet an urgent need for a cen-

trally located, easily accessible settings for science, traveling art, student work and topical exhibits of current interest to the student
body.
There will be facilities for wall and
floor mounted displays, with track
mounted spot lighting for all type of
exhibit.
The amphitheatre will have sound
control elements to allow for better
acoustics, an
electrically
operated
“periodic chart” of the elements, an
electrically operated projection screen
with dimmer controlled lighting and
a stepped floor providing an unobstructed view of the demonstration
table.

Concrete telescope mounting pads

and outer space. Anemometers and
other weather instruments on the roof
will have remote recording equipment
in the laboratory area.
Minor accomodations in the building include a radiation counting room,

Entrance on Five Levels
Because of the unique hillside site
for the building, it has been designed with entrances on five levels. The
main entrance will open onto the

four stories.
The exterior is characterized by
high narrow windows, with heat absorbing glass, set in vertical recesses
between broad brick piers. Ventilating grills are integrated into the exterior in such a manner that they become a design feature in the building
facade. The building will harmonize
with neighboring structures on the
campus in color and texture and yet
will express through its design, the
college’s contemporary approach to
the teaching of science.

In announcing that the dormitory
be come “Elwell Hall.” the educator mentioned that Judge William
Elwell served as a trustee of the
school from 1868 to 1887 and was responsible for bringing the
late
Dr.
David J. Waller, Jr., to the principalship for his first distinguished tenure. Dr. Waller served first as principal for thirteen years and later for
a period of fourteen years. Judge Elwell’s son, George E. Elwell, served
as trustee from 1887 to 1896 and was
president of the board for a time, and
the judge’s grandson, G. Edward Elwell. Jr., was instructor of French at

days, served on the faculty from 1897
to 1935 and for part of that period his
wife was also on the faculty.
Their
son, Dr. H. Keffer Hartline, is a graduate of Bloomsburg and a Nobel prize
winner of the past year. The latter
is also a holder of the BSC
Alumni
Distinguished Service Award.
The dormitory, accomodating 672
men, was completed in July and occupied in September. The nine-story
structure is the first high-rise building to be completed on the campus.
In addition to rooms for students and
counselors, the dormitory includes an
apartment for the members of the
student personnel staff, recreation
rooms, lounges, a TV room and storage areas. Elevators and stairways
are designed to provide a smooth flow
of traffic throughout the building. The
science-classroom building is scheduled for completion in December and

Dr. Andruss said that as the college
grows there will be more names required for buildings and mentioned
that among those
now on campus
there are “North, South, East and
West Halls” and that in shifts of the
future at least one dormitory now occupied by men will be turned over to
the use of women students. “If you
have any suggestion for names turn
them over to your president, Howard
F. Fenstemaker,” he told the graduates.

Dr. Andruss asserted that “Pennsylvania has a problem in its
tax
structure and until that is settled we
will not receive the kind of representative appropriations that we
need.”
The present lack of funds has required the increasing of the tuition by
$100 for the academic year opening
in

September.

Despite that he said there are many
more seeking entrance than can be ac-

"Until the state decides that
the
State Colleges are more
important
than some of the other institutions we
will not have as fast a growth as we
have experienced in the past.”
He mentioned that three of the
classes in reunion, 1928,
1933
and
1938, were there under the administration of the late Dr. Francis B. Haas
for whom the new auditorium has
been named.
The College will be
happy if these and other classes of
that period provide funds so that the
name of the building can be placed
on the structure in aluminum letters.
1964—
“The
purse strings of the state budget

have been drawn tightly at this time
and there are no funds for placing the

name on the building,” he said.
He congratulated the graduates and
their leaders for establishing the Loyalty Fund and said the plan is better
than that of charging a small dues fee.

Problems o f tbe State Colleg es
The following appeared recently in “The PASSING
column of The Morning Press:

State law the 13 state colleges and one
university— Indiana— charge no tuition to
Pennsylvania residents (99 per cent of their enrollment). This is supposed to be borne by the
Commonwealth out of taxes.

Then there is the problem of state purchasing procedures, costing the taxpayers hundreds
of thousands of thousands of dollars and frustrating every effort of the state colleges to provide the facilities they are expected to maintain
as accredited institutions of higher learning.
Bed tape is not the only obstacle the
must overcome.

col-

leges

Instead, however, the students pay “fees” as
high as $250 a year, which has been raised to
$350 here and elsewhere in September; plus the
fee for extra-curricular activities.

Since 1934 state appropriations have gone
up about 134 per cent, but enrollments increased
bv more than 40 per cent. Nearly half of the
operating budget of the 14 schools is supported
by student “fees.”

Another example

of the state’s peculiar
colleges is seen in the
construction of buildings. When the state completes a science laboratory, student recreation
center or domitory for a state-aided college or
university, it is turned over to the private school

state colleges are the only colleges wholly owned by the state and subject to state control.

All state college students jammed into antiquated dormitories several years ago began paying more than $100 a year “dormitory fee” to

You may contribute in any amount, and as often as you wish during the year.
The first $2.00 contributed by a graduate in any one year will entitle the
graduate to full membership privileges in the Alumni Association for one
year; any amount in excess of the $2.00 will be put into the “Loyalty Fund”
for student scholarships or other projects, to be determined by the Alumni

Contributions for Loyalty Fund projects or operational expenses will be adequate only if every graduate makes an effort to express his loyalty to his

We hope that you will show your loyalty to your Alma Mater by making
generous contributions every year. Please make your checks payable to

COMMUNICATION

ing, and working together depend to a greater
extent on chance comments, opinions, and unverified rumors which lead to the formation of
opinions and attitudes.
The College Community

is

composed
a
Board

of

of
students, faculty, administrators,
Trustees, a body of Alumni, and other groups
such as parents and taxpayers in a State-supported institution. A great part of the student unrest
grows out of a lack of communication among
members of the College Community.
Too often, students do not go to the point
where the information is available on the campus; chiefly, the administrators charged with the
responsibility of activities in certain areas. Stu-

dents are advised to be careful whose advice
they take and to make sure that the advisor
knows more about the problem than the one who
seeks advice; and above all, if there is to be some
change proposed, either on an individual or
group basis, contact should be made with an individual who can make the change possible.
still have a great many people who act upon
and unverified
chance comments, opinions,
rumors without evaluating the source or validity
of the facts behind them.
A College Community of 3,800 students and
500 employees and faculty members will soon
grow to be equal to one-half of the total population of the Town of Bloomsburg. While approximately one-half of the students live on campus
in dormitories and more than one-half eat in the
College dining room, there are still three groups
whose contact with the College is neither as
continuous nor immediate as campus residents.
Some eight or nine hundred live in the Town of
Bloomsburg or in the towns in which they are
doing student teaching, and about an equal
number commute daily from their homes. Of a
faculty of 250, approximately one-half have been
on the Bloomsburg campus three years or less.
There are several hundred more part-time
students, some undergraduates, who are employed in part-time occupations which permit them
to complete the work of one academic year over
a period of a calendar year, while still others
commute to the campus for graduate courses
after the school day is over.
In an effort to give more college informa-

students.

Recently, the Board of Trustees have met
with committees of the faculty, and, for the first
time, they have met with the College (student/
Council composed of twenty-one students and
six faculty members.
This is an effort to learn
first hand from student representatives of the
proposals for changes in student living, and in
some cases, classroom procedures.
With the offering of new graduate and
undergraduate classes, students are attracted
from more than fifty of the sixty-seven counties
in Pennsylvania which means a statewide, rather
than a regional, representation on campus.
At least eighty per cent of the graduates
from Bloombsurg State College are still in the
field of teacher education.
The transition to a
multi-purpose institution, which will in time
become a university, cannot be carried out
overnight.
Millions of dollars for new buildings, increased salaries for faculty, and greater library
and laboratory facilities are important, but colleges exist for the education of students who attend them.
Therefore, communication
is
a
necessity and to the extent that facts are not
available to those who are engaged in decision
making, the College Community will continue
to have trouble, unrest, and confusion.

Such times as these must have existed in
the mind of the poet who wrote, “New occasions

their good work, we can easily reach the goal this year.

on the new buildings. An oil portrait of Dr. Francis B. Haas will be placed in
