FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
EDINBORO’S JUSTINA BARON CELEBRATES 100 YEARS
Justina J. Baron, the former Edinboro University of Pennsylvania librarian and one of the
school’s best-known and most-loved alumnae, celebrated her 100*** birthday on June 17,2000.
The celebration took place among family and friends at Saint Mary’s Home of Erie,
where she has resided since 1991.
A delegation of Edinboro University officials joined the birthday celebration and
presented her with a Royal Stewart tartan “Fighting Scots” blanket.
A 1917 graduate of the Edinboro State Normal School, Baron began her career in
education teaching all eight grades in a one-room schoolhouse. Four years later, she took an
apprentice course at the Erie Public Library and received her diploma from the Carnegie Library
School.
In 1925, she joined the faculty of the Erie Branch of Edinboro State Normal School, and
the same year, completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh. She later earned
a master’s degree in library science from the University of Michigan. When the Erie Branch
closed in 1931 during the Depression, she was appointed assistant librarian and cataloger on the
Edinboro campus and was later placed in charge of acquisitions. She retired in 1965.
In 1977, one year after its construction, Edinboro University’s campus library - the
largest in northwestern Pennsylvania - was named the Baron-Fomess Library by the school s
trustees in honor of Justina Baron and the late Mildred Fomess, two women who dedicated their
lives to serving Edinboro students as librarians.

JUSTINA BARON TO CELEBRATE 100 YEARS, Continued

Page 2

Baron remained active in several organizations after retirement. For many years, she was
the primary force behind Edinboro’s Alumni Association, volimteering her time to maintain
alumni lists and organizing the annual alumni reunion limcheon and other special events. A
tradition at the reunion limcheon for many years was her “calling of the classes,” where she
called by class year the names of all the Edinboro alumni in attendance.
She was recognized by the Alumni Association as a Distinguished Alumna of the
University in 1977, and, in 1986, was named the first honorary lifetime member of the Alumni
Board of Directors.
The Justina J. Baron Scholarship Fund was established in her honor in 1982. The
scholarship is awarded each year to a son, daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew of an Edinboro
graduate.
Baron was also a very accomplished photographer and donated her collection of more
than 4,000 slides to the Baron-Fomess Library. The library has commemorated her 100*^
birthday by initiating a project to digitize the slides and make them available over the Internet.

programs in the state. Also, the department recently began offering a graduate certificate in

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania President Frank Pogue (right), here with Seneca High
School Principal Albert Leonzi and Karen McCracken, the school’s 2000 valedictorian, was the
guest speaker at Seneca’s 20“’ Annual Scholarship Recognition Night. More than 300 Seneca
High students were presented certificates for their academic achievements. In his remarks, Pogue
urged the students “to continue to take pride in your academic accomplishments, in your school,
in your community and in your world,” and not to listen, said Pogue “to anyone who may tell
you that it s not cool to do well in school.” Pogue noted also that Seneca’s principal, assistant
principal and a guidance counselor, as well as the Wattsburg School District’s superintendent
and assistant superintendent, were Edinboro University graduates. “In all, the five earned 12
degrees and certifications at Edinboro,” Pogue said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EDINBORO’S JUSTINA BARON TO CELEBRATE 100 YEARS ON JUNE 17
Justina J. Baron, the former Edinboro University of Pennsylvania librarian and one of the
school’s best-known and most-loved alumnae, will celebrate her 100* birthday on June 17, 2000.
The celebration will take place at noon on Saturday, June 17, at Saint Mary’s Home of
Erie, 607 East 26* Street.
Helping her celebrate her 100* year with greetings and gifts will be a party of Edinboro
University and Alumni Association officials headed by University President Dr. Frank G. Pogue.
A 1917 graduate of the Edinboro State Normal School, Baron began her career in
education teaching all eight grades in a one-room schoolhouse. Four years later, she took an
apprentice course at the Erie Public Library and received her diploma from the Carnegie Library
School.
In 1925, she joined the faculty of the Erie Branch of Edinboro State Normal School, and
the same year, completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh. She later earned
a master’s degree in library science from the University of Michigan. When the Erie Branch
closed in 1931 during the Depression, she was appointed assistant librarian and cataloger on the
Edinboro campus and was later placed in charge of acquisitions. She retired in 1965.
In 1977, one year after its construction, Edinboro University’s campus library - the
largest in northwestern Pennsylvania - was named the Baron-Fomess Library by the school’s
trustees in honor of Justina Baron and,the late Mildred Fomess, two women who dedicated their
lives to serving Edinboro students as librarians.

Baron remained active in several organizations after retirement. For many years, she was
the primary force behind Edinboro’s Alumni Association, volunteering her time to maintain
alumni lists and organizing the annual alumni reunion luncheon and other special events. A
tradition at the reunion luncheon for many years was her “calling of the classes,” where she
called by class year the names of all the Edinboro alumni in attendance.
She was recognized by the Alumni Association as a Distinguished Alrnnna of the
University in 1977, and, in 1986, was named the first honorary lifetime member of the Alumni
Board of Directors.
The Justina J. Baron Scholarship Fund was established in her honor in 1982. The
scholarship is awarded each year to a son, daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew of an Edinboro
graduate.
Baron was also a very accomplished photographer and donated her collection of more
than 4,000 slides to the Baron-Fomess Library. The library has commemorated her 100*
birthday by initiating a project to digitize the slides and make them available over the Internet.
Baron has resided at Saint Mary’s Home of Erie since 1991.
Media coverage of the noon, Jime 17 birthday celebration is invited.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOCAL STUDENT ENTERS EDINBORO UNIVERSITY UNDER DUAL
ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS
Dan Dell, a recent graduate from General McLane High School, will enroll in
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania’s manufacturing engineering technology (MET)
program this fall with 16 credits already obtained through courses taken in high school.
Dell earned the credits by meeting the necessary requirements of the MET articulation
agreement and the academic articulation agreement General McLane has with Edinoro
University.
Carefully mapping out his educational path at an early age, Dell met with high
school guidance counselor Gary Astorino before entering ninth grade to discuss his
interest in the tooling and machining field. Astorino explained the MET articulation
agreement with Edinboro University and informed Dell of the importance in taking the
high level math and science classes offered at General McLane.
Dell and his parents also met with Edinboro University physics and technology
professor Pete Mathews who explained how specific high school courses could be applied
toward a two-year associate degree in manufacturing engineering technology.
“Dan was tom between going to Vo-Tech for tool and die or staying at the high
school and taking a college bound program,” said Dell’s mother, Julie. “The fact that Dan
stayed at the high school enabled him to take the higher level math and science courses
that are very important to this program.”

DELL ENROLLS UNDER DUAL AGREEMENT

Under the MET articulation agreement, Dell received 12 credits for Edinboro
courses in Manufacturing Processes I, Technical Drawing I, Computer Aided Drafting
and Introduction to Robotics by taking the necessary courses outlined in the articulation
agreement at General McLane. He also received 4 credits for college writing skills by
taking accelerated and advanced placement level courses English at General McLane.
By planning early, Dell was able to get a head start on his college degree while in
high school. That allowed Dell to build a strong foundation for his future studies at
Edinboro University.
After earning his associate degree at Edinboro University, Dell hopes to further
his education at the Rochester Institute of Technology which accepts students from
Edinboro’s MET program, allowing them to enroll as a junior in their manufacturing
program.
