Looking 
Forward 
With 
Pride 


Fellow  Alumni: 

It  is  with  pride  that  we  look  forward  to  the  1961-62  academic  year 
at  Susquehanna  University.  Enrollment  is  being  increased  to  more 
than  800,  from  less  than  500  two  and  one-half  years  ago.  Future  plans 
will  bring  this  enrollment  to  1000  students. 

Two  new,  well-planned  dormitories,  one  for  men  and  one  for 
women,  are  available  for  use  for  the  first  time.  A  new  science  building 
will  be  under  construction  soon.  In  recent  years  several  new  sites  have 
been  secured  to  expand  the  campus. 

A  visit  to  the  Susquehanna  campus  brings  to  an  alumnus  a  realiza- 
tion that  our  college  is  moving  forward  with  rapid  strides.  We  can  be 
proud  of  our  Susquehanna. 

Latest  projected  figures  indicate  that  college  enrollments  in  this 
country  will  double  by  1970.  It  is  inspiring  to  know  that  Susquehanna 
is  doing  its  share  to  meet  this  need. 

During  the  past  year  there  has  been  an  awakening  among  many  of 
our  alumni.  Many  have  visited  the  campus  for  the  first  time  in  years. 
Many  have  contributed  generously  to  the  Loyalty  Fund. 

In  the  coming  year  we  look  forward  to  your  continued  support. 
Only  through  the  interest,  cooperation  and  efforts  of  alumni  can  Sus- 
quehannna  continue  to  move  forward.     We  need  your  help. 

Sincerely, 

Charles  E.  Chaffee  '27

Football  season  is  here— and  these  two 
future  Crusaders  seem  very  interested 
indeed  in  how  to  put  the  helmet  on,  as

Francesco,  a  Little  All-Ameriean  guard 
choice  last  year.

'HE 


OF  FLOATS  AND  QUEENS  AND  FOOTBALL 


Homecoming  —  the  magic  word 
that  calls  up  memories  of  fall  af- 
ternoons on  the  football  field,  the 
crunch  of  helmet  against  shoulder 
pad,  the  official's  upstretched-arms 
TD  signal  ...  of  the  S.  U.  Band 
strutting  its  stuff  ...  of  a  radiant 
queen  enthroned  upon  her  con- 
vertible, and  of  hundreds  of  thous- 
ands of  paper  napkins  fashioned 
into  elegant  floats. 

Memories  of  a  warm  handclasp 
from  a  roommate  of  bygone  days 
...  of  fraternity  parties,  and  per- 
haps of  a  slow  fox  trot  —  "the  way 
we  used  to  dance  when  I  was  in 
school." 


The  memories  are  all  there,  and 
once  a  year  they  have  a  chance  to 
be  reality.  That  time  is  here 
again. 

October  20-21  is  the  time  to  "come 
home  for  Homecoming"  in  1961. 
Susquehanna  beckons,  and  promis- 
es a  great  weekend. 

Busy  committees  have  lined  up 
a  fine  program  —  with  plenty  to  do 
and,  yet,  with  time  for  flexibility, 
your  own  plans,  and  catching  up 
on  campus  improvements  made 
over  the  summer. 

Every  homeeomer  will  want  to 
explore  S.  U.'s  two  new  dormitor- 
ies, now  finished  and  occupied.  .  .  . 


browse  in  the  enlarged  and  at- 
tractive Campus  Bookstore  on  Sei- 
bert's  lower  floor  .  .  .  peep  into  new 
offices  in  Selinsgrove  Hall  .  .  .  see 
Horton  Dining  Room's  "Wedge- 
wood"  annex  .  .  .  and  take  in  all 
the  sights  which  characterize  a 
wide-awake,  forward-moving  Alma 
Mater. 

Earlycomers  will  be  able  to  catch 
the  Homecoming  Pageant  and  Cor- 
onation on  Friday  evening,  along 
with  a  Pep  Parade  and  bonfire. 
These  night-before  festivities  have 
been  gaining  more  followers  every 
year.

Loyalty  Fund 
Passes  $26,000 

Susquehanna's  1961  Alumni  Loy- 
alty Fund  total  in  September 
reached  $26,314  in  cash  and 
pledges.  Although  some  $1600 
consisted  of  unpaid  pledges  to- 
date,  it  seemed  certain  that  the 
Fund  would  exceed  its  $25,000 
goal.  Final  payment  of  most  of 
the  pledges  was  not  due  for  an- 
other month  or  two,  explained 
Fund  Chairman  H.  Vernon  Blough 
'31. 

Total  number  of  participants  in 
the  Fund  was  796,  of  whom  780- 
or  19.7  percent  of  living  alumni- 
were  actually  alumni.  Average 
gift  from  all  givers  was  $34.19; 
from  alumni,  $31.95. 

Ten  persons  became  President's 
Club  members  by  contributing 
$.500  or  more,  while  another  136 
joined  the  Century  Club  with  gifts 
of  at  least  $100. 

In  1960,  510  contributors  gave 
$12,474  for  an  average  of  $23.14. 

This  remarkable  growth  of  Sus- 
quehanna's annual  giving  program 
bespeaks  an  increasing  loyalty  to 
the  university  and  confidence  in  its 
plans  for  the  future.  Currently,  by 
action  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
all  Loyalty  Fund  gifts  are  being 
credited  to  a  new  gymnasium  un- 
less designated  for  certain  other 
approved  capital  purposes.  Direly 
needed,  the  new  gym  will  probab- 
ly cost  about  $750,000. 


THANK    YOU 

Ruth  Bair  Badger  '35,  who 
is  convalescing  at  the  Blue  Hill 
Rest  Home,  wishes  to  thank  all 
alumni  who  have  remembered 
her  with  their  cards  and  letters.

Portrait  of  the  H.  L.  Phillips  family,  taken  just  50  years  ago  when  Aberdeen 
entered  Susquehanna.  Seated:  Mother  Phillips,  Aberdeen,  Ann,  Father  Phillips. 
Standing:  Harry,  Mary,  Garfield,  Edward,  William,  Margaret,  Wendell,  Sarah, 
Ben,    and    Esther.       All    twelve     Phillips     children     were     Susquehanna     students. 


Only  once  in  a  long,  long  while  docs  a  college  and 
its  alumni  office  run  into  a  "story"  like  this  one— it's 
really  a  story  of  confidence  in  and  love  for  an  institu- 
tion, of  pride  in  it  and  loyalty  to  it,  cherished  in  the 
hearts  of  33  people. 

So  unusual  was  it  that  33  members  of  the  same 
family  enrolled  at  the  same  college,  that  the  essence 
of  this  story  was  distributed,  with  pictures,  by  United 
Press  International.  It's  been  expanded  here  for  the 
sake  of  alumni  readership  for,  after  all,  it  must  be  that 
practically  every  living  alumnus  of  Susquehanna  must 
know  at  least  one  of  the  Phillips  clan. 

We  think  it's  a  "sweetheart  of  a  story."  And,  in- 
cidentally, there  are  a  lot  of  sweethearts  in  it,  too— 
not  the  least  of  whom  is  Barbara  Adams  herself! 


Among  the  290  freshmen  at  Susquehanna  Uni- 
versity this  fall  is  smiling,  bright-eyed,  blonde  Bar- 
bara Adams,  a  June  graduate  of  Selinsgrove  High 
School.     She  could  be  just  like  many   another  eager 


member  of  the  Class  of  1965,  setting  out  in  the  strange, 
collegiate  world.  But  there's  a  difference,  for  Barbara 
Weeks  Adams  is  the  33rd  member  of  Selinsgrove's 
Phillips  family  to  attend  Susquehanna  since  1899. 

Since  the  first  Phillips  matriculated  at  the  turn  of 
the  century,  32  members  of  three  generations  of  the 
family  have  preceded  Barbara  in  attending  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Miss  Aberdeen  Phillips,  Selinsgrove  insurance 
broker,  and  a  1915  Susquehanna  graduate,  is  one  of 
the  first  generation.  An  avid  family  historian,  she 
keeps  track  of  all  the  records.  The  whole  thing  came 
about  like  this  .  .  . 

Henry  Louis  Phillips,  father  of  Aberdeen,  came  to 
the  United  States  in  1888  from  Wales  to  settle  in  the 
Pennsylvania  coal  town  of  Shenandoah.  A  merchant 
tailor  who  designed  and  made  clothes,  the  senior 
Phillips  found  business  bad  in  that  area.  He  scouted 
for  a  better  location  and  as  a  result  moved  the  family 
two  years  later  to  Selinsgrove.  Here  they  settled  per- 
manently, much  to  the  gratification  and  joy  of  Mrs. 
Phillips  who  thought  the  locality  similar  to  that  of 
Wales.     Education-minded  people,  the  Phillipses  also 


SEPTEMBER    1961 


cherished  the  golden  opportunity  of  college  for  their 
children. 

Aberdeen  Phillips  remembers  vividly  her  parents' 
description  of  their  first  trip  here:  the  crossing  of  the 
Susquehanna  River  by  boat  at  Sunbury,  being  met  by 
horse  and  carriage  at  Shamokin  Dam,  and  the  ride 
from  there  to  Selinsgrove  over  dirt  roads. 

In  1888  Selinsgrove  was  an  industrious  market 
area  for  farm  produce,  with  a  population  of  around 
1500.  The  University  held  its  former  title  of  Mission- 
ary Institute,  had  a  student  body  of  approximately  200, 
awarded  degrees  in  liberal  arts  and  prepared  men  for 
seminary  and  future  work  in  the  Lutheran  Church. 
The  Phillips  family  is  Lutheran,  too,  traditionally  hold- 
ing membership  in  Trinity  Church  where  the  Rev.  J. 
Allen   Snyder   today   is   pastor. 

The  Institute  was  not  yet  coeducational.  Women 
students  could  be  found  on  the  campus  of  Susque- 
hanna Female  College  located  on  Market  Street  at  the 
north  end  of  town. 

By  the  mid-nineties  the  Phillips  family  had  grown 
to  14  members— six  boys,  six  girls,  mother  and  father. 
As  the  children  changed  and  grew  to  college  age  like- 
wise did  the  face  and  title  of  the  Institute.  In  1894 
an  amalgamation  of  the  two  colleges  was  made  along 
with  a  revision  of  the  name  to  the  present  corporate 
title.  In  the  next  few  years,  football  and  fraternity 
life  made  their  way  upon  the  campus  scene,  smoking 
and  dancing  were  officially  and  absolutely  condemned, 
and  a  staunch  Prohibition  Club,  which  printed  reams 
of  temperance  literature,  was  organized. 

The  environs  of  Selinsgrove  did  not  altogether 
escape  alteration.  Although  the  population  remained 
static,  the  Phillipses  saw  boardwalks  replace  dirt  road- 
side paths,  horses  shy  away  from  noisy  mechanical 
contrivances  with  wheels  and  horns,  and  the  Susque- 
hanna Canal  become  a  defunct  operation. 

As  for  enrollment  at  Susquehanna  in  the  early 
1900s,  anyone  who  could  supply  the  necessary  class  fee 
was  allowed  entrance  to  the  University.  Since  financial 
entrance  requirements  were  not  as  stringent  as  they 
are  today,  Phillips  was  able  to  bargain  for  the  admis- 
sion and  education  of  his  youngsters.  By  making  cus- 
tomized suits  and  clothing  for  faculty  members,  he 
managed  to  send  all  twelve  of  his  children  to  Susque- 
hanna at  one  time  or  another.  As  a  result,  for  a  period 
of  eighteen  years  (1900-1917)  one  or  more  was  always 
enrolled. 

Relatives  maintain  that  the  original  twelve  broth- 
ers and  sisters  were  an  interesting  lot.  Seemingly  cate- 
gorized evenly  in  many  respects,  it  is  noted  that  of 
the  six  boys  and  six  girls,  six  were  born  in  Wales  and 
six  in  the  United  States;  six  had  dark  eyes  and  dark 
hair,  six  had  light  eyes  and  red  hair;  and  six  could  sing 
while  six  could  not.     All  six  who  had  vocal  ability  in- 


variably found  time  to  participate  in  the  choral  or- 
ganizations of  the  Conservatory  of  Music. 

Two  of  the  sisters,  Ann  and  Margaret,  married 
Susquehanna  graduates  who  were  later  connected  with 
their  alma  mater.  Ann  was  wed  to  Dr.  Charles  P.  Mc- 
Loughlin  who  played  on  one  of  the  first  University 
football  teams  in  the  1890's.  Dr.  McLoughlin  later 
received  an  honorary  doctor  of  divinity  degree  in  1915. 
Margaret  married  Edgar  Wingard  '15  who  later  served 
for  four  seasons  as  head  coach  of  football— 1916,  1919, 
1924  and  1925.  Coach  Wingard's  1919  team  scored 
the  fantastic  all-time  Susquehanna  high  of  311  points 
over  its  opponents.  Winning  5,  losing  4,  and  tying  1, 
Wingard's  eleven  lost  only  to  Colgate,  Villanova,  Buck- 
nell  and  the  professional  Altoona  Indians,  all  power- 
houses at  the  time.  Only  76  points  were  scored 
against  the  Crusaders  that  year. 

Subsequently,  a  number  of  the  original  twelve 
brothers  and  sisters  married,  some  to  Susquehanna  stu- 
dents, and  of  their  offspring  ten  children  later  attended 
S.  U.  Sarah,  eldest  daughter  in  the  original  family, 
followed  most  closely  in  the  footsteps  of  her  parents. 
The  mother  of  five  children,  she  and  her  husband,  Dr. 
William  S.  Ulrich,  sent  four  of  them  to  Susquehanna. 
In  turn,  four  of  the  ten  second-generation  children  who 
attended,  generally  through  the  years  of  1923-43,  mar- 
ried Susquehannans. 

Quite  a  few  of  the  Phillipses  still  reside  within  the 
immediate  area  of  Selinsgrove.  Members  of  the  fam- 
ily who  number  among  the  32  and  live  locally  are: 
Aberdeen  Phillips  '15,  Mary  Phillips  TO,  Marion  Rose 
Phillips,  Gladys  Wentzell  Phillips,  M.  Elizabeth  Phillips 
Lahr  '32,  Marjorie  Phillips  Mitchell,  Horace  and  Ade- 
line Phillips  Vought,  Harry  L.  '43  and  Mary  Phillips 
Wilcox  '43,  Margaret  Weeks  Adams,  D.  Edgar  and 
Aberdeen  Phillips  Hutchison  '34. 

Four  of  the  original  twelve  brothers  and  sisters  are 
still  living,  Aberdeen,  Sarah,  Mary  and  Henry.  Wen- 
dell x'll  gave  his  life  in  service  during  World  War  I  in 
Europe. 

Margaret  Vought  Attinger  x'54  and  David  E.  Hut- 
chison III,  graduate  of  the  class  of  1961,  became  the 
first  and  second  members  of  the  third  generation  to 
matriculate  at  Susquehanna. 

Barbara  Weeks  Adams,  daughter  of  Margaret 
Weeks  Adams  and  grandniece  of  Aberdeen  Phillips,  is 
the  third  of  her  generation  and  the  33rd  member  of 
the  Phillips  family  to  become  a  Susquehanna  student. 
She  is  a  second  cousin  to  both  Margaret  Vought  At- 
tinger and  David  E.  Hutchison  III. 

Several  more  Phillips  kin  are  nudging  college  age 
right  now.  It  may  be  expected  that  they  will  know 
something  of  Susquehanna  University  —  and  perhaps 
they  too  will  choose  to  carry  on  a  well-established  tra- 
dition.

Can  They 
Repeat? 


Much    depends    upon    this    pair    of   sophomores   — 
center  John  Rowlands  and  quarterback  Don  Green. 


Excitement  over  football  filled 
the  air  at  S.  U.  again  this  year  as 
undergrads  arrived  on  the  campus 
to  resume  their  studies.  With  a 
ward  to— the  first  in  many  a  year 
nine-game  schedule  to  look  for- 
for  the  Crusaders— students  and 
area  fans  alike  wondered  if  Sus- 
quehanna would  be  able  to  repeat 
or  improve  upon  near-perfect  1960. 

Last  year's  gridders  won  7  and 
lost  only  1,  yielded  just  two  touch- 
downs to  the  opposition,  and  rank- 
ed as  a  national  leader  in  NCAA 
defensive  statistics.  In  pass  de- 
fense, S.  U.  was  the  champion  of 
all  schools,  both  large  and  small. 

That  was  Head  Coach  Jim  Gar- 
rett's first  year  at  the  Crusader 
helm.  This  year,  Garrett  was  sure, 
"the  picnic  is  over." 


The  popular  and  energetic  men- 
tor predicted  that  the  1961  sched- 
ule—which includes  games  with 
five  new,  formidable  opponents- 
would  demand  "100  percent  greater 
effort"  from  each  and  every  mem- 
ber of  the  53-man  squad.  Every 
one  of  the  five  clubs  (Western 
Maryland,  Wagner,  Delaware  Val- 
ley, Oberlin  and  Hobart)  did  50- 
50  or  better  in  1960  and  together 
they  compiled  a  record  of  27-14-1. 
Top  results  were  carded  by  Wag- 
ner, unbeaten  in  nine  contests. 

This  season's  candidates  for  var- 
sity action  reported  to  the  coach- 
ing staff  on  August  31,  checked 
out  with  the  team  physician  Dr. 
Robert  Heinbach,  and  began  three- 
a-day  practice  sessions  the  next 
morning.     On  hand  to  greet  them, 


besides  Garrett,  were  Line  Coach 
Bob  Pittello,  new  End  Coach  Bob 
Windish,  and  new  Linebacker  and 
Assistant  Coach  Dan  Sekanovich. 
A  couple  of  morale-boosting  sur- 
prises were  on  hand  to  greet  them 
too  —  flashy  new  pro-type  football 
jerseys,  and  a  spanking  new  bank 
of  permanent  steel  stands  for  1500 
additional  game  spectators.  Morale- 
boosting  they'd  need,  for  the  rug- 
ged practice  routine  under  intense- 


Dedicated    performers    with    fine    records    are    captain    and    Little    All-American 
guard   Ben   DiFrancesco,   halfback  Terry   Kissinger,  and  fullback   Larry   Kerstetter. 


Halfback  John  Luscko  was  1960's  leading 
ground   gainer   in    SU's   division    of   MAC.

SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


Three  tough  linemen  are  tackles 
Joe  Perfilio  and  Dick  Rohland, 
and      guard      George      Campbell. 


Iy  hot  and  humid  weather  condi- 
tions was  destined  to  take  its  toll 
during  the  first  few  weeks.  Of  the 
original  70  candidates,  17  decided 
that  Crusader  football  was  not 
their  cup  of  tea. 

Eighteen  veterans  formed  the  nu- 
cleus of  the  team,  which  includes 
most  of  last  year's  starters  but  is 
without  the  services  of  end  Barry 
Hackenberg  and  tackle  Dan  Rem- 
ler,  both  academic  casualties,  and 
guard  Chuck  Leathery  whose  1960 
leg  injury  has  failed  to  heal  prop- 
erly. 

Going  into  the  home  stretch  of 
preparation  for  the  season's  opener 
against  Lycoming  in  the  Kiwanis 
game  at  Sunbury,  it  looked  as  if 
these  Orange  and  Maroon  wearers 
would  make  up  the  starting  eleven: 

LE,  sophomore  Mike  Rupprecht 
of  York,  Pa.;  LT,  senior  Dick  Roh- 
land of  Plainfield,  N.  J.;  LG,  jun- 
ior George  Campbell  of  Hillsdale, 
N.  J.,  C,  sophomore  John  Row- 
lands of  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.;  RG, 
senior  Captain  Ben  DiFrancesco 
of  Atlas,  Pa.;  RT,  junior  Joe  Per- 
filio of  Jersey  City,  N.  J.;  RE,  sen- 
ior Ken  Hauser  of  Rivervale,  N.  J.; 
QB,  sophomore  Don  Green  of 
Harrisburg;  LH,  junior  John  Lusc- 
ko  of  Mt.  Ephraim,  N.  J.;  RH, 
sophomore  Terry  Kissinger  of  Se- 


linsgrove;    FB,    sophomore    Larry 
Kerstetter  of  Selinsgrove. 

The  strongest-looking  reservists 
who  could  expect  to  play  a  lot  of 
ball  appeared  to  be  freshman  end 
Jim  Gibney  of  Union,  N.  J.;  junior 
tackle  Neal  Markle  of  Oreland, 
Pa.;  freshman  guard  Richie  Car- 
uso of  Margate,  N.  J.;  sophomore 
guard  John  Garrett  of  Robesonia, 
Pa.;  junior  center  Tom  Samuel  of 
Mt.  Ephraim,  N.  J.;  freshman  half- 
back Larry  Erdman  of  Mandata, 
Pa.;  sophomore  halfback  Roland 
Marionni  of  Union  City,  N.  J.;  and 
freshman  fullback  Dick  Hirsch  of 
Leonia,  N.  J. 

Coach  Garrett  was  counting 
heavily  on  his  first  unit,  realizing 
that  he  direly  needed  adequate 
second-  and  third-line  support  for  a 
number  of  positions. 

Only  time  could  tell  how  quickly 
this  reserve  power  would  develop, 
and  whether  it  would  be  in  suffic- 
ient measure  to  help  produce  an- 
other winning  season.  Meanwhile, 
fans  were  promised  plenty  of  hard- 
hitting football  every  Saturday 
through  November  18.  After  the 
Lycoming  fray,  there  would  be  five 
games  at  home,  two  in  the  Phila- 
delphia area,  and  one  in  New  York, 
ample  opportunity  for  gridiron  en- 
thusiasts to  cheer  their  favorites  on. 


Mike   Rupprecht  and   Ken    Hauser 
are       talented       Crusader       ends.

A  New  Look  For 
The  Association 

Upon  approval  of  a  new  consti- 
tution for  the  Susquehanna  Alumni 
Association  on  Alumni  Day,  May 
7,  1961,  a  new  concept  in  adminis- 
tering alumni  business  was  inaug- 
urated. Instead  of  an  Alumni 
Council,  the  Alumni  Executive 
Board  will  make  policies  and  im- 
plement the  decisions  made  at  the 
annual  meeting  in  May.  The  Ex- 
ecutive Board  consists  of  the  offic- 
ers (seven),  two  representatives  to 
the  University  Board  of  Directors, 
two  representatives  to  the  Athletic 
Council,  15  members-at-large  elect- 
ed for  a  three-year  term  (term  of 
five  members  expiring  each  year), 
all  presidents  of  the  Alumni  Associ- 
ation ( eight  have  already  indicated 
willingness  to  serve)  and  a  repre- 
sentative from  the  senior  class.  This 
35-member  Board  which  represents 
a  fine  cross-section  of  alumni  in- 
sures some  continuity  and  extends 
any  opportunity  through  the  15 
members  elected  at  large  to  bring 
new  blood  into  the  organization. 

The  Board  will  meet  three  times 
a  year  to  carry  out  the  general  busi- 
ness and  each  member  of  the  Ex- 
ecutive Board  will  serve  on  one  of 
the  five  standing  committees  — 
Alumni  Awards,  Club  Activities, 
Nominations,  Loyalty  Fund,  Alum- 
ni Day. 

The  Board  holds  its  first  meet- 
ing on  Homecoming  Day,  October 
21.  The  meeting  beginning  at 
9:30  a.  m.  in  Bogar  103  is  open  to 
any  other  alumni  who  wish  to  at- 
tend. 


umni  and  friends  on  Thursday, 
August  24.  Several  members  of  the 
freshman  class  were  also  present 
to  meet  alumni  of  Susquehanna  and 
Dr.  Bernard  W.  Krapf,  assistant  to 
Susquehanna's  president.

H.  Vernon  Blough  '31  this 
fall  completes  his  term  as 
chairman  of  the  highly  suc- 
cessful Alumni  Loyalty 
Fund  for  1961.  Never  be- 
fore have  S.U.  alumni  re- 
sponded in  annual  giving 
to  the  extent  they  have  this 
year  —  Vernon  is  the  big- 
gest reason  for  this  mag- 
nificent performance.  His 
experienced  leadership,  or- 
ganizational genius  and 
personal  approach  to  all 
aspects  of  the  program 
have  brought  about  its  suc- 
cess and  earned  for  him  the 
highest  respect  and  grati- 
tude of  his  Alma  Mater. 

Vernon  has  been  a  staunch  worker  for  Susquehanna  for  a  good  part  of 
his  life.  A  Johnstown,  Pa.  native,  he  remained  at  S.  U.  after  graduation 
to  assist  Luther  Grossman  in  alumni,  publicity  and  athletic  activities.  In 
1935  lie  took  over  as  publicity  director  and  alumni  secretary.  Under  his 
guidance  the  annual  Roll  Call  (predecessor  of  the  Loyalty  Fund)  was 
singularly  effective  and  hundreds  of  institutional  loyalties  were  reborn. 

After  eight  years  at  his  post,  he  moved  on  to  teaching  in  the  Arendts- 
ville.  Pa.  schools.  In  1946  he  assumed  his  present  position  as  news  editor 
of  The  Johnstown  Tribune-Democrat.  Vernon  Blough  continues  to  be 
active  in  the  affairs  of  the  Johnstown  District  Alumni  Club  and  in  many 
projects  of  the  Alumni  Association.

HAIL  THE   COACH 


When  Coach  Amos  Alonzo  Stagg  Jr.  resigned  this 
summer  to  affiliate  with  Reynolds  and  Company  in 
Chicago,  the  "Stagg  Era"  covering  a  quarter  of  a  cen- 
tury ended  at  Susquehanna  University. 

While  Coach  Stagg's  coaching  achievements  were 
great  and  he  worked  with  tremendous  energy  to  win 
games,  he  will  be  most  revered  by  the  men  of  Susque- 
hanna because  he  taught  and  exemplified  the  ideals  and 
values  that  ultimately  determine  the  consummate  and 
worthwhile  individual.  In  the  final  analysis  this  is  the 
main  objective  of  the  athletic  program  in  college. 

His  concern  for  the  development  of  lasting  values 
was  intuitive  and  innate  with  him,  born  out  of  his 
humaneness  and  compassion  for  the  youth  under  his 
guidance.  We  are  much  the  richer  because  Coach 
Stagg  was  part  of  our  lives. 

The  feeling  of  humaneness  that  he  bore  for  each 
individual  was  typified  in  an  incident  that  occurred 
one  evening  in  the  dressing  room  after  practice.  Sev- 
eral of  the  players  were  censuring  the  unsocial  be- 
havior of  an  absent  fraternity  brother.  The  Coach 
listened  quietly  and  then  remarked  — 

"I  know  the  boy  and  recognize  some  of  these 
faults,  but  I  can  sincerely  say  that  I  find  a  great  deal 
more  good  than  bad  in  him." 

The  boy  in  question  has  since  become  successful, 
both  in  his  vocation  and  in  his  community. 


We  shall  always  remember  Coach  Stagg  for  his 
unselfish  devotion  of  time  and  energy  for  our  welfare, 
his  charitableness  toward  our  shortcomings  and  praise 
for  our  virtues,  his  sincere  and  warm  welcomes  on  our 
visits  to  the  campus,  his  astute  knowledge  of  the  game, 
his  encouragements  to  achieve  our  aspirations,  his  wise 
counsel  and  his  emphasis  upon  the  good  and  human 
virtues  that  make  life  meaningful  and  worthwhile. 

We  shall  remember  Coach  Stagg  as  a  part  of  some 
of  our  most  enduring  and  colorful  college  experiences. 
When  our  memory  recalls  the  great  moments  of  great 
games  —  the  thrill  of  clash  and  combat  —  the  shrill 
sound  of  the  official's  whistle  —  the  bruises  and  the 
sprains  —  the  long  scouting  reports  on  opponents  —  the 
pre-game  color,  music  and  pageantry  —  the  glory  and 
honor  in  victory  —  the  Coach  will  be  an  indelible  part 
of  it  all. 

While  we  shall  greatly  miss  Coach  Stagg  and  his 
lovely  and  gracious  wife,  we  also  revel  in  the  enthusi- 
asm with  which  they  face  their  new  venture.  A  coach 
who  has  just  completed  an  undefeated  season  with  a 
squad  of  Phi  Beta  Kappas  and  no  seniors  couldn't  be 
more  enthusiastic  and  optimistic  about  the  future. 

Hail  the  Coach!  Good  luck  in  all  your  endeavors. 
We  certainly  look  forward  to  your  return  to  the  cam- 
pus on  every  possible  occasion.

ON     OUR     COVER 

The  Alumnus  hasn't  run  any  covers  ol 
campus  buildings  for  some  months,  so 
we  thought  you— particularly  those  who 
live  far  away  and  haven't  seen  S.  U.  for 
several  years— would  enjoy  this  glimpse 
of  Landes  Gateway  and  the  Library. 

Of  course,  a  college  is  more  than  just 
a  collection  of  buildings,  even  though 
the  buildings  and  facilities  have  great 
importance  in  the  kind  of  educational 
job  it  does. 

A  college  is  mostly  people— students 
and  teachers  learning  and  living  together. 
These  four  students  are  typical  of  today's 
breed  of  inquisitive,  healthy,  active 
young  men  and  women  at  Susquehanna. 
All  Pennsylvanians,  they  are  Nate  Ward 
of  Garrett,  Bonnie  Schaffer  of  Lattimer, 
Mike  Rupprecht  of  York,  and  Jane  Beers 
of  Allentown. 

AND     INSIDE 

Feature  article  this  time  is  by  Arnold 
Toynbee,  the  famous  historian.  It's  an- 
other piece  copyrighted  by  Editorial  Pro- 
jects for  Education,  and  well-planned  to 
stimulate  the  thinking  of  thoughtful 
alumni.     See  page  4. 

Besides  the  regular  news  you're  used 
to  reading,  there's  a  little  extra  coverage 
of  sports,  too— for  S.  U.  sports  are  hot 
news  this  year. 

And  be  sure  to  see  the  back  cover. 
The  Awards  Committee  is  now  studying 
nominations  for  the  May  presentations. 
It  wants  additional  nominations,  and 
we've  included  a  convenient  blank  on 
which  you  may  make  yours. 

Hope  you  enjoy  the  issue,  and  every 
bit  of   1962!

DECEMBER     1961 


Has  America  Neglected 
Her  Creative  Minority? 

Copyright  1961  by  Educational  Projects  for  Education. 


America  has  been  made  the  great  country  that 
she  is  by  a  series  of  creative  minorities :  the  first  settlers 
on  the  Atlantic  seaboard,  the  founding  fathers  of  the 
Republic,  die  pioneers  who  won  the  West.  These  suc- 
cessive sets  of  creative  leaders  differed,  of  course,  very 
greatly  in  their  backgrounds,  outlooks,  activities,  and 
achievements;  but  they  had  one  important  quality  in 
common:  all  of  them  were  aristocrats. 

They  were  aristocrats  in  virtue  of  their  creative 
power,  and  not  by  any  privilege  of  inheritance, 
though  some  of  the  founding  fathers  were  aristocrats 
in  the  conventional  sense  as  well.  Others  among  them, 
however,    were    middle-class    professional    men,    and 


Dr.  Toynbee's  article,  written  especially  for 
America's  college  alumni  magazines,  is  on  a 
topic  integral  to  his  theory  of  history— and  to 
the  future  of  America.  This  theory,  advanced 
in  "A  Study  of  History,"  is  that  civilizations 
arise  from  a  chaUenge-and-response.  Progress 
and  growth  occur  when  the  response  to  the 
challenge,  which  can  be  human  or  environ- 
mental, is  successful;  part  of  the  success  is 
always  due  to  leadership  by  a  creative  min- 
ority. 

Professor  Toynbee  retired  in  1955  as  di- 
rector of  studies  in  the  Royal  Institute  of  In- 
ternational Affairs  and  research  professor  of 
international  history  in  the  University  of 
London.  Last  winter  he  ivas  a  visiting  pro- 
fessor at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  His 
newest  hook  is  "Reconsiderations,"  the  twelfth 
volume  of  his  famous  series. 


Franklin,  who  was  the  outstanding  genius  in  this 
goodly  company,  was  a  self-made  man.  The  truth  is 
that  the  founding  fathers'  social  origin  is  something  of 
secondary  importance.  The  common  quality  that  dis- 
tinguished them  all  and  brought  each  of  them  to  the 
front  was  their  power  of  creative  leadership. 

In  any  human  society  at  any  time  and  place  and 
at  any  stage  of  cultural  development,  there  is  presum- 
ably the  same  average  percentage  of  potentially  cre- 
ative spirits.  The  question  is  always:  Will  this  poten- 
tiality take  effect?  Whether  a  potentially  creative 
minority  is  going  to  become  an  effective  creative  one 
is,  in  every  case,  an  open  question. 

The  question  will  depend  on  whether  the  minority 
is  sufficiently  in  tune  with  the  contemporary  majority, 
and  the  majority  with  the  minority,  to  establish  under- 
standing, confidence,  and  cooperation  between  diem. 
The  potential  leaders  cannot  give  a  lead  unless  the  rest 
of  society  is  ready  to  follow  it.  Prophets  who  have 
been  'without  honour  in  their  own'  country  because  they 
have  been  'before  their  time'  are  no  less  well-known 
figures  in  history  than  prophets  who  have  received  a 
response  that  has  made  the  fortune  of  their  mission. 

This  means  that  effective  acts  of  creation  are  the 
work  of  two  parties,  not  just  one.  If  the  people  have 
no  vision,  the  prophet's  genius,  through  no  fault  of  the 
prophet's  own,  will  be  as  barren  as  the  talent  that  was 
wrapped  in  a  napkin  and  was  buried  in  the  earth.  This 
means,  in  turn,  that  the  people,  as  well  as  the  prophet, 
have  a  responsible  part  to  play.  If  it  is  incumbent  on 
the  prophet  to  deliver  his  message,  it  is  no  less  incum- 
bent on  the  people  not  to  turn  a  deaf  ear.  It  is  even 
more  incumbent  on  them  not  to  make  the  spiritual  cli- 
mate of  their  society  so  adverse  to  creativity  that  the 
life  will  have  been  crushed  out  of  the  prophet's  poten- 
tial message  before  he  has  had  a  chance  of  delivering 
it. 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


by  ARNOLD  TOYNBEE 

Dr.  Toynbee,  probably  the  world's 
best-known  historian,  is  author  of 
the  best-selling  "A  Study  of  His- 
tory." 


To  give  a  fair  chance  to  potential  creativity  is  a 
matter  of  life  and  death  for  any  society.  This  is  all- 
important,  because  the  outstanding  creative  ability  of 
a  fairly  small  percentage  of  the  popidation  is  mankind's 
ultimate  capital  asset,  and  the  only  one  with  which 
Man  has  been  endowed.  The  Creator  has  withheld 
from  Man  the  shark's  teeth,  the  bird's  wings,  the  ele- 
phants trunk,  and  the  hound's  or  horse's  racing  feet. 
The  creative  power  planted  in  a  minority  of  man- 
kind has  to  do  duty  for  all  the  marvelous  physical 
assets  that  are  built  into  every  specimen  of  Man's 
non-human  fellow  creatures.  If  society  fails  to  make 
the  most  of  this  one  human  asset,  or  if,  worse  still,  it 
perversely  sets  itself  to  stifle  it,  Man  is  throwing  away 
his  birthright  of  being  the  lord  of  creation  and  is  con- 
demning himself  to  be,  instead,  the  least  effective 
species  on  the  face  of  this  planet. 

Whether  potential  creative  ability  is  to  take  effect 
or  not  in  a  particular  society  is  a  question  that  will 
be  determined  by  the  character  of  that  society's  insti- 
tutions, attitudes,  and  ideals.  Potential  creative  ability 
can  be  stifled,  stunted,  and  stultified  by  the  prevalence 
in  society  of  adverse  attitudes  of  mind  and  habits  of 
behavior.  What  treatment  is  creative  ability  receiving 
in  our  Western  World,  and  particularly  in  America? 

There  are  two  present-day  adverse  forces  that  are 
conspicuously  deadly  to  creativity.  One  of  these  is  a 
wrong-headed  conception  of  the  function  of  democracy. 
The  other  is  an  excessive  anxiety  to  conserve  vested 
interests,  especially  the  vested  interest  in  acquired 
wealth. 

What  is  the  proper  function  of  democracy?  True 
democracy  stands  for  giving  an  equal  opportunity  to 
individuals  for  developing  their  unequal  capacities.  In 
a  democratic  society  which  does  give  every  individual 
his  fair  chance,  it  is  obviously  the  outstandingly  able 
individual's  moral  duty  to  make  a  return  to  society  bv 


using  his  unfettered  ability  in  a  public-spirited  way 
and  not  just  for  selfish  personal  purposes.  But  society, 
on  its  side,  has  a  moral  duty  to  ensure  that  the  individ- 
ual's potential  ability  is  given  free  play.  If,  on  the 
contrary,  society  sets  itself  to  neutralize  outstanding 
ability,  it  will  have  failed  in  its  duty  to  its  members, 
and  it  will  bring  upon  itself  a  retribution  for  which  it 
will  have  only  itself  to  blame.  This  is  why  the  differ- 
ence between  a  right  and  a  wrong-headed  inter- 
pretation of  the  requirements  of  democracy  is  a  matter 
of  crucial  importance  in  the  decision  of  a  society's 
destiny. 

There  is  at  least  one  current  notion  about  demo- 
cracy that  is  wrong-headed  to  the  point  of  being  dis- 


DECEMBER     1961 


astrously  perverse.  This  perverse  notion  is  that  to  have 
been  born  with  an  exceptionally  large  endowment  of 
innate  ability  is  tantamount  to  having  committed  a 
large  pre-natal  offence  against  society.  It  is  looked 
upon  as  being  an  offence  because,  according  to  this 
wrong-headed  view  of  democracy,  inequalities  of  any 
and  every  kind  are  undemocratic.  The  gifted  child  is  an 
offender,  as  well  as  the  unscrupulous  adult  who  had 
made  a  fortune  at  his  neighbour's  expense  by  taking 
some  morally  illegitimate  economic  advantage  of  them. 
All  offenders,  of  every  kind,  against  democracy  must  be 
put  down  indiscriminately  according  to  this  misguided 
perversion  of  the  true  democratic  faith. 

There  have  been  symptoms  of  this  unfortunate 
attitude  in  the  policy  pursued  by  some  of  the  local  ed- 
ucational authorities  in  Britain  since  the  Second  World 
War.  From  their  ultra-egalitarian  point  of  view,  the 
clever  child  is  looked  askance  at  as  a  kind  of  capitalist. 
His  offence  seems  the  more  heinous  because  of  its  pre- 
cocity, and  the  fact  that  the  child's  capital  asset  is  his 
God-given  ability  and  not  any  inherited  or  acquired 
hoard  of  material  goods,  is  not  counted  to  him  for 
righteousness.  He  possesses  an  advantage  over  his 
fellows,  and  this  is  enough  to  condemn  him,  without 
regard  to  the  nature  of  the  advantage  that  is  in  ques- 
tion. 

It  ought  to  be  easier  for  American  educational  au- 
thorities to  avoid  making  this  intellectual  and  moral 
mistake,  since  in  America  capitalists  are  not  dis- 
approved of.  If  the  child  were  a  literal  grown-up  cap- 
italist, taking  advantage  of  an  economic  pull  to  beggar 
his  neighour,  he  would  not  only  be  tolerated  but 
would  probably  also  be  admired,  and  public  opinion 
would  be  reluctant  to  empower  the  authorities  to  curb 
his  activities.  Unfortunately  for  the  able  American 
child,  "egg-head"  is  as  damning  a  word  in  America  as 
"capitalist"  is  in  the  British  welfare  state;  and  I  suspect 
that  the  able  child  fares  perhaps  still  worse  in  America 
than  he  does  in  Britain. 

If  the  educational  policy  of  the  English-speaking 
countries  does  persist  in  this  course,  our  prospects  will 
be  unpromising.  The  clever  child  is  apt  to  be  unpopu- 
lar with  his  contemporaries  anyway.  His  presence 
among  them  raises  the  sights  for  the  standard  of  en- 
deavour and  achievement.  This  is,  of  course,  one  of 
the  many  useful  services  that  the  outstandingly  able 
individual  performs  for  his  society  at  every  stage  of  his 
career;  but  its  usefulness  will  not  appease  the  natural 
resentment  of  his  duller  or  lazier  neighbours.  In  so 
tar  as  the  public  authorities  intervene  between  the  out- 
standing minority  and  the  run-of-the-mill  majority  at 
the  school  age,  they  ought  to  make  it  their  concern  to 
protect  the  able  child,  not  to  penalise  him.  He  is 
entitled  to  protection  as  a  matter  of  sheer  social  justice; 
and  to  do  him  justice  happens  to  be  also  in  the  public 


interest,  because  his  ability  is  a  public  asset  for  the 
community  as  well  as  a  private  one  for  the  child  him- 
self. The  public  authorities  are  therefore  committing  a 
two-fold  breach  of  their  public  duty  if,  instead  of  fos- 
tering ability,  they  deliberately  discourage  it. 

In  a  child,  ability  can  be  discouraged  easily;  for 
children  are  even  more  sensitive  to  hostile  public  opin- 
ion than  adults  are,  and  are  even  readier  to  purchase, 
at  almost  any  price,  the  toleration  that  is  an  egalitarian- 
minded  society's  alluring  reward  for  poor-spirited  con- 
formity. The  price,  however,  is  likely  to  be  a  pro- 
hibitively high  one,  not  only  for  the  frustrated  indi- 
vidual himself,  but  for  his  step-motherlv  society.  So- 
ciety will  have  put  itself  in  danger,  not  just  of  throw- 
ing away  a  precious  asset,  but  of  saddling  itself  with 
a  formidable  liability.  When  creative  ability  is  thwart- 
ed, it  will  not  be  extinguished;  it  is  more  likely  to  be 
given  an  anti-social  turn.  The  frustrated  able  child  is 
likely  to  grow  up  with  a  conscious  or  unconscious  re- 
sentment against  the  society  that  has  done  him  an  ir- 
reparable injustice,  and  his  repressed  ability  may  be 
diverted  from  creation  to  retaliation.  If  and  when  this 
happens,  it  is  likely  to  be  a  tragedy  for  the  frustrated 
individual  and  for  the  repressive  society  alike.  And  it 
will  have  been  the  society,  not  the  individual,  that  has 
been  to  blame  for  this  obstruction  of  Gods  or  Nature's 
purpose. 

This  educational  tragedy  is  an  unnecessary  one. 
It  is  shown  to  be  unnecessary  by  the  example  of 
countries  in  whose  educational  system  outstanding 
ability  is  honoured,  encouraged,  and  aided.  This  roll 
of  honour  includes  countries  with  the  most  diverse  so- 
cial and  cultural  traditions.  Scotland,  Germany,  and 
Confucian  China  all  stand  high  on  the  list.  I  should 
guess  that  Communist  China  has  remained  true  to  pre- 
Communist  Chinese  tradition  in  this  all-important 
point.  I  should  also  guess  that  Communist  Russia  has 
maintained  those  high  Continental  European  standards 
of  education  that  pre-Communist  Russia  acquired  from 
Germany  and  France  after  Peter  the  Great  had  opened 
Russia's  doors  to  an  influx  of  Western  civilization. 

A  contemporary  instance  of  enthusiasm  for  giving 
ability  its  chance  is  presented  by  present-day  Indonesia. 
Here  is  a  relatively  poor  and  ill-equipped  country  that 
is  making  heroic  efforts  to  develop  education.  This 
spirit  will  put  to  shame  a  visitor  to  Indonesia  from  most 
English-speaking  countries  except,  perhaps,  Scotland. 
This  shame  ought  to  inspire  us  to  make  at  least  as  good 
a  use  of  our  far  greater  educational  facilities. 

If  a  misguided  egalitarianism  is  one  of  the  present- 
day  menaces  in  most  English-speaking  countries  to  the 
fostering  of  creative  ability,  another  menace  to  this  is 
a  benighted  conservatism.  Creation  is  a  disturbing 
force  in  societv  because  it  is  a  constructive   one.     It 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


upsets  the  old  order  in  the  act  of  building  a  new  one. 
This  activity  is  salutary  for  society.  It  is  indeed,  essen- 
tial for  the  maintenance  of  society's  health;  for  the  one 
tiling  that  is  certain  about  human  affairs  is  that  thev 
are  perpetually  on  the  move,  and  the  work  of  creative 
spirits  is  what  gives  society  a  chance  of  directing  its 
inevitable  movement  along  constructive  instead  of 
destructive  lines.  A  creative  spirit  works  like  yeast  in 
dough.  But  this  valuable  social  service  is  condemned 
as  high  treason  in  a  society  where  the  powers  that  be 
have  set  themselves  to  stop  life's  tide  from  flowing. 

This  enterprise  is  fore-doomed  to  failure.  The 
classic  illustration  of  this  historical  truth  is  the  internal 
social  history  of  Japan  during  her  two  hundred  years 
and  more  of  self-imposed  insulation  from  the  rest  of 
the  world.  The  regime  in  Japan  that  initiated  and 
maintained  this  policy  did  all  that  a  combination  of 
ingenuity  with  ruthlessness  could  do  to  keep  Japanese 
life  frozen  in  every  field  of  activity.  In  Japan  under 
this  dispensation,  the  penalty  for  most  kinds  of  creativ- 
ity was  death.  Yet  the  experience  of  two  centuries 
demonstrated  that  this  policy  was  inherently  incapable 
of  succeeding.  Long  before  Commodore  Perry  first  cast 
anchor  in  Yedo  Bay,  an  immense  internal  revolution 
had  taken  place  in  the  mobile  depths  of  Japanese  life 
below  the  frozen  surface.  Wealth,  and,  with  it,  the 
reality  of  power,  had  flowed  irresistibly  from  the  pock- 
ets of  the  feudal  lords  and  their  retainers  into  the 
pockets  of  the  unobtrusive,  but  irrepressible  business 
men.  There  would  surely  have  been  a  social  revolution 
in  Japan  before  the  end  of  the  nineteenth  century,  even 
if  the  West  had  never  rapped  upon  her  door. 

The  Tokugawa  regime  in  Japan  might  possibly  have 
saved  itself  by  mending  its  ways  in  good  time  if  it  had 
ever  heard  of  King  Canute's  ocular  demonstration  of 
the  impossibility  of  stopping  the  tide  by  uttering  a 
word  of  command.  In  present-day  America  the  story 
is  familiar,  and  it  would  profit  her  now  to  take  it  to 
heart. 

In  present-day  America,  so  it  looks  to  me,  the  af- 
fluent majority  is  striving  desperately  to  arrest  the  ir- 
resistible tide  of  change.  It  is  attempting  this  impos- 
sible task  because  it  is  bent  on  conserving  the  social 
and  economic  system  under  which  this  comfortable 
affluence  has  been  acquired.  With  this  unattainable 
aim  in  view,  American  public  opinion  today  is  putting 
an  enormously  high  premium  on  social  conformity;  and 
this  attempt  to  standardise  people's  behaviour  in  adult 
life  is  as  discouraging  to  creative  ability  and  initiative 
as  the  educational  policy  of  egalitarianism  in  childhood. 

Egalitarianism  and  conservatism  work  together 
against  creativity,  and,  in  combination,  they  mount 
up  to  a  formidable  repressive  force.  Among  American 
critics  of  the  present-day  American  way  of  life,  it  is  a 
commonplace  nowadays  to  lament  that  the  convention- 


ally approved  career  for  an  American  born  into  the 
affluent  majority  of  the  American  people  is  to  make 
money  as  the  employee  of  a  business  corporation  with- 
in the  rigid  framework  of  the  existing  social  and  eco- 
nomic order.  This  dismal  picture  has  been  painted  so 
brilliantly  by  American  hands  that  a  foreign  observer 
has  nothing  to  add  to  it. 

The  foreign  observer  will,  however,  join  the  chor- 
us of  American  critics  in  testifying  that  this  is  not  the 
kind  of  attitude  and  ideal  that  America  needs  in  her 
present  crisis.  If  this  new  concept  of  Americanism 
were  the  true  one,  the  pioneers,  the  founding  fathers, 
and  the  original  settlers  would  all  deserve  to  be  prose- 
cuted and  condemned  posthumously  by  the  Congres- 
sional committee  on  un-American  activities. 

The  alternative  possibility  is  that  the  new  concept 
stands  condemned  in  the  light  of  the  historic  one;  and 
this  is  surely  the  truth.  America  rose  to  greatness  as 
a  revolutionary  community,  following  the  lead  of  cre- 
ative leaders  who  welcomed  and  initiated  timely  and 
constructive  changes,  instead  of  wincing  at  the  prospect 
of  them.  In  the  course  of  not  quite  two  centuries,  the 
American  Revolution  has  become  world-wide.  The 
shot  fired  in  April  1775  has  been  "heard  around  the 
world"  with  a  vengeance.  It  has  waked  up  the  whole 
human  race.  The  Revolution  is  proceeding  on  a  world- 
wide scale  today,  and  a  revolutionary  world-leadership 
is  what  is  now  needed. 

It  is  ironic  and  tragic  that,  in  an  age  in  which  the 
whole  world  has  come  to  be  inspired  by  the  original 
and  authentic  spirit  of  Americanism,  America  herself 
should  have  turned  her  back  on  this,  and  should  have 
become  the  arch-conservative  power  in  the  world  after 
having  made  history  as  the  arch-revolutionary  one. 

What  America  surely  needs  now  is  a  return  to 
those  original  ideals  that  have  been  the  sources  of  her 
greatness.  The  ideals  of  'the  organisation  man'  would 
have  been  abhorrent  to  the  original  settlers,  the  found- 
ing fathers,  and  the  pioneers  alike.  The  economic  goal 
proposed  in  the  Virginia  Declaration  of  Rights  is  not 
"affluence";  it  is  "frugality."  The  pioneers  were  not 
primarily  concerned  with  money-making;  if  they  had 
been,  they  could  never  have  achieved  what  thy  did. 
America's  need,  and  the  world's  need,  today,  is  a  new 
burst  of  American  pioneering,  and  this  time  not  just 
within  the  confines  of  a  single  continent  but  all  round 
the  globe. 

America's  manifest  destiny  in  the  next  chapter  of 
her  history  is  to  help  the  indigent  majority  of  mankind 
to  struggle  upwards  towards  a  better  life  than  it  has 
ever  dreamed  of  in  the  past.  The  spirit  that  is  needed 
for  embarking  on  this  mission  is  the  spirit  of  the  nine- 
teenth-century American  Christian  missionaries.  If  this 
spirit  is  to  prevail,  America  must  treasure  and  foster  all 
the  creative  abilitv  that  she  has  in  her.

Over-the-top  Loyalty 
Fund  Demonstrates 
Confidence  in  "A 
Greater  Susquehanna" 

Now  a  thing  of  the  past,  and 
certainly  a  successful  accomplish- 
ment, Susquehanna's  1961  Alumni 
Loyalty  Fund  may  be  looked  at  in 
a  bit  more  objective  light  than  was 
heretofore  possible. 

What  a  wonderful  demonstration 
of  confidence  in  Alma  Mater,  in 
her  program  of  Christian  higher 
education,  and  in  her  new,  for- 
ward-looking leadership! 

The  1961  Fund— with  a  goal  of 
$25,000— closed  at  year-end  with 
$26,995  received  from  822  alumni 
and  others.  Of  the  total,  $26,005 
came  from  808  alumni.  Overall, 
this  represents  a  58  percent  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  givers  over 
1960,  and  a  117  percent  increase 
in  total  gifts— truly  a  record  to 
point  to  with  pride. 

Susquehanna  is  sincerely  and 
deeply  grateful  for  the  loyalty  of 
each  and  every  giver,  and  for  the 
dedicated  efforts  of  Fund  Chair- 
man Vernon  B lough  and  his  com-

mittee.      The    performance    of    all 
speaks  for  itself. 

These  results  are  a  far  cry  from 
the  meagre  Loyalty  funds  raised 
at  S.  U.  only  a  few  short  years  ago. 
And  they  have  long-range  mean- 
ing. Not  only  is  Susquehanna's 
new  gymnasium  a  little  closer  to 
realization,  but  her  reputation 
gains  added  stature  as  well.  Sus- 
quehannans  are  showing  publicly 
that  they  mean  business  when  they 
talk  of  "a  greater  Susquehanna" 
and  of  their  school  taking  a  sig- 
nificant place  in  higher  education 
in  this  all-important  decade.  And 
gifts   like  these  breed  more  gifts. 

Yes,  we're  on  the  way. 

Interestingly,  and  it's  most  grati- 
fying, S.  U.'s  best  performance  has 
been  in  the  amount  of  the  average 
gift.    The  average  gift,  from  alum- 


ni only,  is  $32.18.  This  compares 
favorably  with  a  sampling  of  other 
colleges  similar  to  ours— but  not 
with  all  (figures  from  1959-60  on 
accompanying  chart). 

On  the  other  hand,  while  we 
have  shown  vast  improvement,  we 
have  a  long  way  to  go  in  the  mat- 
ter of  participation.  Only  21.1 
percent  of  living  alumni  contribut- 
ed to  the  1961  Fund.  Just  imagine 
how  much  sooner  we  could  start 
building  that  gym  if  we  had  Leb- 
anon Valley's  34.1  percent  partici- 
pation and  maintained  or  bettered 
our  average  gift  amount! 

Hundreds  are  meeting  the  chal- 
lenge, and  additional  hundreds  will 
be  asked  to  meet  the  challenge  dur- 
ing the  years  immediately  ahead. 
With  maximum  participation,  Sus- 
quehanna's Alumni  Dream  will 
surelv  come  true.

the  spring. 

LEHIGH    VALLEY 

On  Saturday,  September  9  the 
district  club  sponsored  a  tea  for 
area  students  planning  to  enter 
Susquehanna  in  the  fall.  The  re- 
ception served  to  bring  alumni  and 
future  alumni  closer  together  and 
provided  the  new  students  with  an 
opportunity  to  meet  a  few  present 
S.U.  students  who  were  in  attend- 
ance.

Undefeated  Gridders  4th  in  History 


The  last  undefeated  S.  U.  football  team  was  that  of  1951  which  held  a  reunion  on 
Homecoming  Day,  October  21.  Present  for  this  photo  were,  front  row:  Gib  Davis 
'55,  Richard  Herr  '52,  Bob  MacNamara  '53,  Steve  Torok  '53,  Mike  Rising  '54,  Bob

Stamfel  '54,  Rich  Young  '53,  Jim  Dell  '54,  Coach  A.  A.  Stagg  Jr.  who  produced  the 
1940  undefeated  team  and  co-coached  in  '51  with  his  famous  father  A.  A.  Stagg  Sr. 
The  first  undefeated  Crusader  season  was  accomplished  in  1932  under  the  tutelage  of 
Coach  William  W.  Ullery. 


Susquehanna's  1961  football  Cru- 
saders became  the  fourth  team  in 
university  history  to  go  all  the  way 
without  a  defeat  when  it  wound  up 
the  season  with  a  21-8  victory  over 
Wilkes  College  on  November  18. 

The  Jim  Garrett-coached  squad 
finished  the  year  with  eight  wins 
and  no  losses— a  .1000  slate  spoiled 
only  by  a  7-7  tie  with  Oberlin  of 
Ohio.  Eight  victories  were  the 
most  ever  recorded  by  a  Crusader 
grid  team  in  any  one  season  and 
the  current  streak  of  13  games 
without  a  loss  is  the  longest  in  Cru- 
sader football  annals. 

Susquehanna  also  emerged  as  the 
1861  champion  of  the  Middle  At- 
lantic Conference  Northern  Col- 
lege Division  and  was  the  only 
team  with  an  unblemished  (6-0) 
record  in  league  competition. 

In  addition,  the  Crusaders  cap- 
tured the  mythical  "national  Luth- 
eran college  championship"  of  28 
Lutheran  colleges  and  universities 
playing  varsity  intercollegiate  foot- 
ball in  the  U.  S.  This  champion- 
ship was  declared— unofficially— for 
the  first  time  this  year  by  Lutheran 
Men,  the  national  monthly  maga-

Although  S.  U.'s  '61  football  suc- 
cess was  credited  not  to  outstand- 
ing performances  by  a  few  stars, 
but  rather  to  "a  real  team  effort, 
spearheaded  by  Head  Coach  Jim 
Garrett  and  by  a  heads-up,  hard- 
working determination  to  win,"  in- 
dividual performers  had  their  day

Susquehanna's  1961-62  basket- 
ball team  set  a  blistering  pace  as 
it  won  seven  of  its  first  nine  games 
and  was  5-0  in  the  MAC  going  into 
the   holidays. 

Head  Coach  John  Barr  was  using

Senior  end  Ken  Hauser:  honor-

Sophomore  center  John  Row-

Most  Valuable  Player  as  judged 
by  S.   U.  coaching  staff. 

Junior  halfback  John  Luscko: 
Team  Captain  for  1962. 

Statisticswise,  Susquehanna  fin- 
ished out  front  in  five  of  eight  cate- 
gories in  its  division  of  the  MAC. 

In  all  nine  games  the  Crusaders 
averaged  264  yards  rushing  and  309 
yards  total  offense.  Kerstetter,  with 
9  touchdowns  and  8  PAT's  for  a 
total  of  62  points,  was  the  team's 
highest  scorer  and  also  gained  the 
most  ground  rushing— 610  yards  in 
143  carries.  Total  offense  leader 
was  Green,  who  picked  up  520 
yards  on  the  ground  and  395  in  the 
air. 

Perhaps  the  biggest  post-season 
news  was  Susquehanna's  invitation 
to  play  in  the  January  6  Gasparella 
Bowl  game  at  Tampa,  Fla.  with  the 
University  of  Tampa  as  the  oppon- 
ent. This  invitation  had  to  be  de- 
clined since  the  contest  was  not 
sanctioned  by  the  NCAA.

27.7  points  per  game  average.

guidance— more  than  70  altogether,  and  all  but  a  very  few  have  completed 
their  work  and  received  their  degrees!  Many  of  them  have  been  outstand-

quehanna, teaching  Problems  of  Democracy,  guiding  youngsters,  and  act-

and  the  German  Club  and  played  a  year  each  of  varsity  baseball  and

The  1962  Fund 


The  Time  is  now. 

Loyal  Susquehanna  alumni  have  been  watching  with  great  interest  and  ex- 
citement the  giant  strides  being  made  on  campus— physical  improvements,  aca- 
demic improvements,  upgrading  in  all  areas.  These  advances  are  necessary  and 
proper  so  that  Susquehanna  can  take  an  increasingly  effective  role  in  tomorrow's 
dramatic  higher-education  challenge.  Read  this  issue's  special  insert,  "The  Col- 
lege of  Tomorrow."  The  implications  are  startling— and  obvious. 

Once  a  year  we,  as  alumni,  are  called  upon  to  give  tangible  evidence  of  our 
faith  in  private  higher  education  and  our  loyalty  to  Alma  Mater,  to  give  of  our 
monetary  resources  to  the  annual  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  Our  current  "project" 
is  the  fund  for  a  new  gymnasium— only  one  of  several  seriously-needed  campus 
facilities. 

By  March  1,  nearly  $11,700  had  already  been  contributed  by  111  "advance 
givers  "—mostly  members  of  the  President's  and  Century  Clubs.  This  was  a  good 
start,  but  left  a  long,  long  way  to  go  to  reach  the  1962  goal  of  835,000— a  goal  we 
hope  to  reach  by  Alumni  Day,  May  5. 

Whatever  your  gift,  large  or  small,  every  alumnus  of  Susquehanna  should 
be  counted  among  the  givers  when  the  final  tallies  are  made.  You've  been  sent 
a  leaflet  and  a  return  envelope  for  sending  in  your  gift,  and  .  .  . 

The  Time  to  give  is  now.

THEY  SING 


FOR  THEIR  SUPPER 


by  DICK  WESTERVELT  '50 

Dick  Westervelt  is  an  associate  with 
Stanley  Arnold  &  Associates,  New  York 
City.  A  unique  idea  shop  serving  the 
country's  leading  blue  chip  accounts,  the 
company  has  been  featured  in  The  New 
Yorker,  newspapers  and  business  period- 
icals. Dick,  as  an  idea  man,  recently  de- 
veloped a  greeting  card  you  could  eat 
after  reading  it  ("It's  in  perfect  taste," 
he  explains)  .  However,  he  says  the  best 
idea  he's  ever  had  is  one  he  got  last 
week  —  that  he  should  have  been  a 
plumber.

Anyone  who  attended  Professor  Stevens'  sociology 
lessons  or  spends  much  time  with  Sunday  supplement 
psychology  will  know  that  harmony  in  the  family 
group  is  a  big  problem  today.  But,  there's  an  all-Sus- 
quehanna  family  living  in  a  little  white  house  on 
Symmes  Court  in  Cranbury,  New  Jersey,  that  doesn't 
seem  to  be  having  any  trouble  at  all. 

Drop  in  "most  any  night  and  you'll  catch  their  act. 
You'll  find  Clyde  Sechler,  a  big  good  looking  guy. 
coaxing  mellow  tones  out  of  a  base  viol;  Louise  Sech- 
ler. a  charming  blonde,  joining  in  at  the  piano;  and 
Craig  and  Jody  Sechler,  two  little  kids  with  big  voices 
adding  the  vocal  talent  all  in  perfect  harmony! 

This  common  musical  bent  binds  this  family  to- 
gether as  few  families  are,  but  it's  not  the  result  of  a 
"Togetherness"  article  they  read  jointly  in  McCall's. 
The  Sechlers  are  merely  employing  the  "practice  that 
makes  perfect"  routine  that  is  the  hallmark  of  all  pro- 
fessionals. And,  these  people  are  pros  in  every  sense 
of  the  word. 

Every  single  member  of  the  group,  from  big  Clyde 
to  little  Craig,  is  involved  in  the  exciting  —  if  somewhat 
frenetic  —  business  of  entertaining  people.  You've 
probably  seen  them  together,  or  individually,  on  tele- 
vision. Perhaps  you  may  have  heard  only  their  voices. 
Jody  and  Craig,  for  example,  provided  the  voices  for 
the  sprightly  little  characters  on  the  Tootsie  Roll  com- 
mercial, the  sponsor  for  the  "My  Friend  Flieka"  show, 
YVNTA,  Saturday  mornings. 

How'd  this  all  happen?  Well,  it  started  in  Dan- 
ville, Pa.  where  Clyde  and  Louise  —  she  was  Louise 
McWilliams  —  grew  up  on  opposite  sides  of  the  Sus- 
quehanna River.  They  knew  each  other  in  those  days 
but  it  wasn't  until  they  were  enrolled  at  Susquehanna 
University  that  they  started  making  beautiful  music 
together.  Corny  as  this  sounds,  that's  how  it  started; 
both  Clyde  and  Louise  sang  in  Susquehanna's  Motet 
Choir.  They  soon  discovered  they  had  more  in  com- 
mon than  beautiful  singing  voices. 

Always    a    Gagster 

Clyde  in  those  clays  was  a  member  of  the  Bond 
and  Key  fraternity  and  according  to  more  than  one 
harried  professor  "some  kind  of  nut!"  In  those  days, 
at  126  pounds  and  looking  like  a  hungry  Frank  Si- 
natra, he  used  to  divide  his  time  between  regaling  his 
fellow  students  and  driving  his  professors  out  of  their 
skulls. 

"Clyde  has  always  been  a  natural  clown,"  Louise 
says.  "When  we  were  going  together,  I'd  have  to  listen 
to  his  gags  dozens  of  times,  but  I'd  always  end  up 
laughing  harder  than  before."  Louise,  who  has  a  live- 
ly sense  of  humor  of  her  own,  was  formerly  secretary 
of  Susquehanna's  S.A.I,  sorority,  active  in  collegiate 
sports,  a  member  of  the  Theatre  Guild  and  president 
of  her  senior  class. 


Louise  and  Clyde,  between  athletic,  dramatic  and 
musical  activities,  made  plans  to  teach  music  when 
their  college  days  were  over.  Clyde  was  the  first  to 
leave  "Old  S.U.'s  broad  campus"  in  1941. 

"When  I  graduated,  my  sheepskin  went  bah!"  he 
said.  He  quickly  landed  a  job  in  Big  Creek,  West  Vir- 
ginia, teaching  orchestra  and  glee  club. 

Louise  followed  him  into  the  teaching  profession 
two  years  later  getting  a  job  as  music  teacher  at  Clark 
Summit  High  School  in  Scranton,  Pa.  In  the  summers, 
the  music-minded  couple  would  get  together  and  com- 
pare notes  (no  pun  intended).  Clyde  would  tell  Louise 
how  he  was  up  at  Big  Creek  without  a  paddle,  and 
Louise  would  talk  about  her  days  at  Clark  Summit. 
They  even  worked  out  band  formations  by  marching 
around  in  Louise's  backyard. 

"What  are  you,  some  kind  of  nuts?"  the  neighbors 
would  inquire  politely. 

Opportunity    Knocks 

While  the  business  of  teaching  school  was  interest- 
ing enough,  it  was  the  footlights  that  burned  inside 
the  heads  of  Louise  and  Clyde.  They  knew  they  had 
the  ability  and  the  drive  show  business  required;  all 
they  needed  was  die  opportunity. 

Opportunity  knocked  in  July  1944  and  when  Clyde 
opened  the  door  he  found  a  silver-haired  bandmaster 
named  Fred  Waring  on  the  other  side  looking  for  a 
tenor.  Clyde  auditioned  and  Fred  Waring  invited 
Clyde  to  join  his  Pennsylvanians,  a  popular  singing 
group  that  was  touring  the  country. 

It  wasn't  long  before  Clyde's  natural  gift  for  com- 
edy was  discovered.  In  addition  to  singing  with  die 
glee  club,  Clyde  was  soon  breaking  up  his  audiences 
with  a  Pennsylvania  Dutch  routine  that  left  them  help- 
less. Clyde  also  talked  the  Pennsylvanians'  leader  into 
auditioning  Louise  for  the  show  and  before  you  could 
say  Fred  Waring  and  his  Pennsylvanians,  Miss  McWil- 
liams and  Mr.  Sechler  were  back  making  beautiful 
music  together. 

This  time  they  decided  to  solidify  the  close  har- 
mony bit  with  a  marriage  contract.  Finding  time  for 
such  a  mundane  activity  as  marriage  in  those  busy 
days  was  a  bit  of  a  problem.  They  eventually  salvaged 
a  couple  of  hours  between  the  third  and  fourth  shows 
at  the  Roxy  Theatre  in  New  York  where  the  Pennsyl- 
vanians were  appearing  as  the  feature  act.  Their 
honeymoon  was  spent  at  the  Knickerbocker  Hotel  on 
West  45th  Street. 

"I  was  one  of  the  few  guys  who  ever  had  his  wife 
carry  him  over  the  threshold,"  Clyde  says,  "but  I  still 
weighed  only  126  pounds  and  I'm  sure  Louise  wouldn't 
have  wanted  me  to  hurt  myself." 

When  Jody  was  born  in  1950,  Louise  decided  to 
leave  the  Waring  group.  Two  years  later,  little  Craig 
made  the  scene  and  Louise  decided  to  be  one  of  the 


MARCH     1962 


less  active  members  of  the  group  in  order  to  devote 
her  time  to  the  family.  After  all,  she  had  produced 
the  act  and  just  keeping  the  Sechler  show  on  the  road 
required  the  lion's  share  of  her  talents. 

Of  course,  no  trouper  ever  completely  shakes  the 
Stardust  glitter.  Louise  still  finds  time  to  put  on  shows 
for  women's  groups  around  Cranbury,  and  does  an 
occasional  stint  with  her  family.  She  has  a  wonderful 
comic  and  acting  talent  of  her  own,  developed  in  sum- 
mer stock  and  lessons  with  the  world-famous  Herbert 
Berghof  studios  in  New  York. 

Climbing    the    Ladder 

Recently,  she  wrote  a  skit  which  she  put  on  at  a 
big  community  dinner  party.  The  hearty  laughter  of 
the  audience  seemed  to  echo  her  own  belief  in  her 
ability. 

Looking  anything  like  the  attractive  blonde  she  is, 
Louise  appeared  as  a  rather  dated  music  teacher,  Mrs. 
Norcross,  who  carried  a  ladder  and  visual  education  to 
a  ridiculous  extreme.  Explaining  to  her  first  graders 
how  the  little  notes  go  up  and  down,  she  set  up  the 
ladder. 

"Now,"  she  gushed,  "I'm  a  little  note  .  .  .  and  I'm 
going  up  .  .  .  and  up  .  .  .  and  up  .  .  .  oooops!"  At  the 
top  of  the  ladder,  acrophobia  set  in,  and  she  had  to 
scream  for  help  to  get  down. 

The  audience  howled.  A  short  time  later,  demon- 
strating the  versatility  of  her  talent,  she  sang  a  soft 
ballad,  "I  wonder  and  I  wander,"  and  the  laughter  dis- 
solved into  warm  and  appreciative  applause. 

After  nine  years  of  the  self-discipline,  the  long 
hours  and  the  wearisome  trips  (the  Pennsylvanians  hit 
just  about  every  major  college  in  the  country),  Clyde 
decided  to  leave  the  show.  Besides,  he  always  had  the 
hankering  to  put  the  talents  of  Clyde  Sechler  to  work 
for  Clyde  Sechler.  As  clever  a  writer  as  he  is  a  talented 
vocalist,  Clyde  has  written  nearly  400  commercial  jin- 
gles, many  of  which  have  made  the  air  waves.  These 
include  the  sprightly  little  songs  you  may  have  heard 
for  Oasis  cigarettes,  Tetley  Tea,  Oklsmobile,  Nestles, 
Wheaties  —  and  a  score  more.  He  appeared  on  tele- 
vision for  Goodyear  recently  as  a  harried  motorist  fix- 
ing a  flat  by  the  roadside. 

He  also  was  instrumental  ( again,  no  pun  intend- 
ed) in  developing  a  "Play  and  Sing  Along"  record.  He 
appears  as  Uncle  Clyde  ("Hi  there,  boys  and  girls") 
and  was  vocal  coach  for  the  children  who  appear  with 
him,  including  a  young  fellow  named  Craig  and  a 
little  girl  named  Jody.  He  and  Craig  have  also  produc- 
ed a  record  called,  "Please,  bring  my  daddy  an  electric 
train."  It  was  a  Christmas  record  which  "didn't  quite 
replace  "Rudolph"  but  as  Clyde  says,  "There's  always 
next  year." 

The  kids  got  started  rather  late  in  the  business. 
Craig  was  all  of  seven  and  Jody  had  reached  the  ad- 


vanced age  of  nine  when  they  recorded  their  first  com- 
mercial for  Tootsie  Rolls.  You  may  have  seen  Craig 
as  the  mean  little  kid  with  the  dirty  hands,  who  set 
things  up  for  the  Spic  and  Span  commercial.  His  most 
recent  stint  was  for  General  Electric  when  he  appeared 
in  an  army  helmet  to  help  sell  a  new  intercom  system. 

A  bright  personable  youngster,  Craig  actually  gets 
twice  the  work  of  Jody  who  has,  as  befits  her  sex,  a 
more  demure  approach.  Craig  comes  on  with  a  rush, 
interspersing  his  job  application  with  glowing  accounts 
of  his  two  big  enthusiasms  —  baseball  and  crocodiles. 

Clyde  finds  it  difficult  to  remember  when  Craig 
first  got  interested  in  crocodiles  but  there's  no  denying 
it,  this  kid  is  a  real  crocodilephile  .  .  .  and  will  talk 
crocodiles  at  the  drop  of  a  hand  bag.  He's  also  a  very 
enthusiastic  Little  Leaguer. 

"I  get  more  walks  than  anybody,"  he  explains 
proudly. 

Craig  appeared  on  the  first  six  Mitch  Miller  shows. 
His  professional  poise  was  demonstrated  during  one  of 
the  Sing  Along  rehearsals  when  a  distracted  director 
raged  at  Craig,  "You're  supposed  to  come  forward  now!" 

"I'm  supposed  to  wait  for  Mr.  Miller,"  Craig  re- 
plied calmly. 

"The  kid's  right,  I  goofed,"  said  Mitch  Miller. 

Such  poise  is  based  on  a  lot  of  hard  experience 
that  Craig  has  packed  into  his  three  years  in  the  busi- 
ness. He's  interviewed  for  Music  Man  and  The  Isle 
of  Children.  He's  sold  cars  for  Pontiac,  groceries  for 
Penn  Fruit  and  bread  for  Bond  and  Silvercup.  In  fact, 
ten-year-old  Craig  has  huckstered  everything  from 
Tootsie  Rolls  to  bird  seed. 

"He  probably  could  get  even  more  work,"  Clyde 
explains,  "but  Louise  and  I  don't  want  him  to  go  over- 
board." 

Craig    and    rhe    Yankees 

Craig  himself  seems  singularly  unimpressed  with 
his  achievements.  When  Jack  Barry  was  interviewing 
kid  talent  for  a  new  TV  show,  Craig  applied.  Shortly 
after  the  interview  started,  Craig  was  talking  enthusi- 
astically about  the  New  York  Yankees  and  crocodiles. 
Barry  was  delighted  .  .  .  wanted  to  hire  him  on  the 
spot.  But,  when  Craig  discovered  that  the  show  was 
to  be  pre-recorded  every  Thursday,  his  face  fell. 

"But,  that's  when  we  play  ball,"  he  said. 

Barry  was  disappointed  but  assured  Craig  he'd 
give  him  a  call  again  when  he  had  a  show  that  didn't 
conflict  with  his  baseball  schedule. 

Craig  is  a  belter!  He  plants  both  feet  on  the  floor 
and  unleashes  all  the  lung  power  he  owns.  Older  sister 
Jody,  on  the  other  hand,  comes  on  slower  but  the  total 
impact  of  her  voice  is  just  as  overpowering.  When 
Jody  sings  about  "The  Boy  Next  Door"  there's  a  unique 
emotional  quality  packed  into  a  beautiful  voice  that 
completely  mesmerizes  her  audience.    It's  hard  to  be- 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


lieve  that  this  beautiful  adult  voice  belongs  to  the  little 
twelve-year-old  girl. 

Like  everyone  else  in  the  family,  Jody  sings  tor 
her  supper.  Her  voice  has  been  heard  for  Penn  Fruit, 
Brer  Rabbit  Syrup,  and  Phillips  Soups,  as  well  as  on 
syndicated  bank  and  radio  spots.  Jody's  voice  is  the 
one  behind  the  cartoon  characters  for  Bond  Bread, 
Tootsie  Roll  and  Maypo  Cereal. 

The  town  of  Cranbury  where  the  Sechlers  live  is 
a  delightful  little  community  of  1,700,  about  twenty 
miles  north  of  Trenton.  Whenever  Clyde  hears  an 
over-enthusiastic  town  backer  say  the  world  is  passing 
Cranbury  by,  he  says,  "Good"  for  he  truly  loves  this 
quiet  little  community  which  is  free  from  the  pressures 
of  New  York  City,  only  70  miles  away. 

Cut-Up    to    Choir    Director 

Cranbury  is  also  fond  of  the  Sechlers.  When  a 
local  m.c.  introduces  them  as  a  group  that  needs  no 
introduction,  it's  no  empty  cliche;  they  are  well  known 
for  their  community  activities  and  frequently  lend  their 
talent  to  local  causes.  Clyde,  who  possesses  a  marvel- 
ous way  with  people,  is  choir  director  for  the  local 
Presbyterian  Church  and  recently  was  elected  chair- 
man of  buildings  and  grounds. 


"I'm  also  an  ordained  elder  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church,"  says  Clyde.  And,  remembering  his  days  as  a 
campus  cut-up,  he  adds  with  a  smile,  "and  if  you  don't 
put  that  in  the  article,  I'll  never  speak  to  you  again." 

The  Sechlers  visited  the  S.U.  campus  last  Alumni 
Day  and  came  away  with  a  tremendous  impression  of 
the  building  program  and  the  giant  strides  the  univer- 
sity has  taken  in  recent  years.  A  member  of  the  Cen- 
tury Club,  he's  proud  to  be  a  part  of  a  real  "swinging" 
school. 

Clyde  should  know  colleges.  In  his  journeys  with 
the  Pennsylvanians,  he  visited  the  campuses  of  every 
major  college  in  the  country,  but  none  get  more  ac- 
colades than  Susquehanna. 

"Most  important  thing  in  an  education  is  getting 
to  know  people,"  he  says,  "and  I'd  never  send  my  kids 
to  one  of  those  big  education  factories." 

There's  one  member  of  the  Sechler  family  that 
hasn't  been  mentioned.  He's  a  blue  and  green  para- 
keet with  an  inferiority  complex.  It's  not  that  he's  not 
talented  ...  he  does  imitations  and  talks  quite  well. 
However,  he  spends  most  of  his  time  slumped  on  his 
perch  complaining  about  being  upstaged  by  the  rest 
of  the  talent;  it's  the  only  discordant  note  in  the  har- 
mony at  4  Svmmes  Court.

of  Philadelphia  and  South  Jerse) 
units. 

While  final  arrangements  for  all 
the  meetings  were  not  completed 
at  press  time,  plans  which  were  on 
paper  indicated  a  marked  increase 
in  the  use  of  S.U.  faculty  members 
as  speakers. 

Such  staff  personalities  as  these 
were  appearing  at  the  district  ses- 
sions: 

Dr.  Francis  W.  Brown,  associate 
professor  of  chemistry;  Howard  E. 
DeMott,  associate  professor  of  bi- 
ology; Dr.  Wilhelm  Reuning,  dean; 
Dr.  William  A.  Russ,  professor  of 
history;  Galen  Deibler,  instructor 
in  music;  Dr.  Norman  W.  Ofslag-

Mosier  Leads  S.U. 
Hoopsters  to  .750 
Season's  Record 

Coach  John  Barr's  1961-62  S.U. 
basketball  team  finished  the  season 
with  a  15-5  slate  for  the  best  win- 
ning percentage  on  record  with 
high-scoring  Clark  Mosier  (see 
cover )  garnering  most  of  the  head- 
lines. 

While  the  Crusader  dribblers 
couldn't  quite  come  up  with  a 
Middle  Atlantic  Conference  play- 
off berth,  the  entire  squad  is  ex- 
pected back  next  year  and  is  rated 
a  prime  threat  for  Northern  Col- 
lege Division  laurels. 

Cage  followers  watched  Susque- 
hanna lose  two  heartbreakers  to 
Albright,  but  they  were  countered 
by  a  sparkling  upset  of  Hofstra 
(eventual  MAC  champs)  and  the 
thrilling  performance  of  Mosier, 
junior  guard  from  Dallas,  Pa. 

Mosier,  a  6-2,  175-pounder,  set 
three  university  scoring  records  in 
a  campaign  that  saw  him  rise  to 
prominence  as  one  of  the  country's 
top  ten  scorers  in  small  college 
ball.  Breaking  three  marks  pre- 
viously held  by  Frank  Romano  '57, 
Mosier  achieved  a  season  total  of 
566  points  and  a  single-game  total 
of  47  points  while  pushing  his  ca- 
reer total  to  1406  points— with  an- 
other season  still  to  go.  He  com- 
piled a  28. 3  points-per-game  aver- 
age, scored  at  least  30  points  in  ten 
individual  games,  and  was  the  only 
small  college  player  to  be  chosen 
four  times  for  the  weekly  all-star 
selections  of  the  Eastern  Collegiate 
Athletic  Conference. 

The  Barrmen  have  now  won  32 
games  and  lost  11  in  the  past  two 
seasons.

ILL  MY  CHILDREN  GET  INTO  COLLEGE?" 

The  question  haunts  most  parents.  Here  is 
the  answer: 
Yes . . . 

►  If  they  graduate  from  high  school  or  preparatory 
school  with  something  better  than  a  "scrape-by"  record. 

►  //"they  apply  to  the  college  or  university  that  is  right 
for  them — aiming  their  sights  (and  their  application 
forms)  neither  too  high  nor  too  low,  but  with  an  individu- 
ality and  precision  made  possible  by  sound  guidance  both 
in  school  and  in  their  home. 

►  If  America's  colleges  and  universities  can  find  the 
resources  to  carry  out  their  plans  to  meet  the  huge  de- 
mand for  higher  education  that  is  certain  to  exist  in  this 
country  for  years  to  come. 

The  //'s  surrounding  your  children  and  the  college  of 
tomorrow  are  matters  of  concern  to  everyone  involved — 
to  parents,  to  children,  to  alumni  and  alumnae  (whatever 
their  parental  status),  and  to  the  nation's  educators.  But 
resolving  them  is  by  no  means  being  left  to  chance. 

►  The  colleges  know  what  they  must  do,  if  they  are  to 


ROW 


meet  the  needs  of  your  children  and  others  of  your  chil- 
dren's generation.  Their  planning  is  well  beyond  the  hand- 
wringing  stage. 

►  The  colleges  know  the  likely  cost  of  putting  their 
plans  into  effect.  They  know  this  cost,  both  in  money  and 
in  manpower,  will  be  staggering.  But  most  of  them  are 
already  embarked  upon  finding  the  means  of  meeting  it. 

►  Governments — local,  state,  and  federal — are  also 
deeply  involved  in  educational  planning  and  financing. 
Some  parts  of  the  country  are  far  ahead  of  others.  But 
no  region  is  without  its  planners  and  its  doers  in  this 
field. 

►  Public  demand — not  only  for  expanded  facilities  lor 
higher  education,  but  for  ever-better  quality  in  higher 
education — today  is  more  insistent,  more  informed  than 
ever  before.  With  this  growth  of  public  sophistication 
about  higher  education,  it  is  now  clear  to  most  intelligent 
parents  that  they  themselves  must  take  a  leading  role  in 
guiding  their  children's  educational  careers — and  in 
making  certain  that  the  college  of  tomorrow  will  be 
ready,  and  good,  for  them. 


This  special  report  is  in  the  form  of  a  guide  to  parents.  But  we  suspect  that  every  read- 
er, parent  or  not,  will  find  the  story  of  higher  education's  future  remarkably  exciting. 


A/\/here  will  your  children 

go  to  college? 


I  AST  fall,  more  than  one  million  students  enrolled 
in  the  freshman  classes  of  U.S.  colleges  and  univer- 
-^  sides.  They  came  from  wealthy  families,  middle- 
income  families,  poor  families;  from  all  races,  here  and 
abroad;  from  virtually  every  religious  faith. 

Over  the  next  ten  years,  the  number  of  students  will 
grow  enormously.  Around  1964  the  long-predicted  "tidal 
wave"  of  young  people,  born  in  the  postwar  era  and 
steadily  moving  upward  through  the  nation's  school  sys- 
tems ever  since,  will  engulf  the  college  campuses.  By  1970 
the  population  between  the  ages  of  18  and  21— now 
around  10.2  million— will  have  grown  to  14.6  million. 
College  enrollment,  now  less  than  4  million,  will  be  at 
least  6.4  million,  and  perhaps  far  more. 

The  character  of  the  student  bodies  will  also  have 
changed.  More  than  half  of  the  full-time  students  in  the 
country's  four-year  colleges  are  already  coming  from 
lower-middle  and  low  income  groups.  With  expanding 
scholarship,  loan,  and  self-help  programs,  this  trend  will 
continue  strong.  Non-white  college  students— who  in  the 
past  decade  have  more  than  doubled  in  number  and  now 
compose  about  7  per  cent  of  the  total  enrollment— will 
continue  to  increase.  (Non- whites  formed  1 1.4  per  cent  of 
the  U.S.  population  in  the  1960  census.)  The  number  of 
married  students  will  grow.  The  average  age  of  students 
will  continue  its  recent  rise. 

The  sheer  force  of  this  great  wave  of  students  is  enough 
to  take  one's  breath  away.  Against  this  force,  what  chance 
has  American  higher  education  to  stand  strong,  to  main- 
tain standards,  to  improve  quality,  to  keep  sight  of  the 
individual  student? 

And,  as  part  of  the  gigantic  population  swell,  what 
chances  have  your  children? 

to  both  questions,  there  are  some  encouraging  answers. 
At  the  same  time,  the  intelligent  parent  will  not  ignore 
some  danger  signals. 

FINDING  ROOM  FOR  EVERYBODY 

not  every  college  or  university  in  the  country  is  able  to 
expand  its  student  capacity.  A  number  have  concluded 
that,  for  one  persuasive  reason  or  another,  they  must 
maintain  their  present  enrollments.  They  are  not  blind  to 
the  need  of  American  higher  education,  in  the  aggregate, 
to  accommodate  more  students  in  the  years  ahead;  indeed, 


they  are  keenly  aware  of  it.  But  for  reasons  of  finance,  of 
faculty  limitations,  of  space,  of  philosophy,  of  function,  of 
geographic  location — or  of  a  combination  of  these  and 
other  restrictions — they  cannot  grow. 

Many  other  institutions,  public  and  private,  are  expand- 
ing their  enrollment  capacities  and  will  continue  to  do  so: 

Private  institutions:  Currently,  colleges  and  universities 
under  independent  auspices  enroll  around  1,500,000 
students— some  40  per  cent  of  the  U.S.  college  popula- 
tion. In  the  future,  many  privately  supported  institutions 
will  grow,  but  slowly  in  comparison  with  publicly  sup- 
ported institutions.  Thus  the  total  number  of  students  at 
private  institutions  will  rise,  but  their  percentage  of  the 
total  college  population  will  become  smaller. 

Public  institutions:  State  and  locally  supported  colleges 
and  universities  are  expanding  their  capacity  steadily.  In 
the  years  ahead  they  will  carry  by  far  the  heaviest  share  of 
America's  growing  student  population. 

Despite  their  growth,  many  of  them  are  already  feeling 
the  strain  of  the  burden.  Many  state  institutions,  once 
committed  to  accepting  any  resident  with  a  high-school 
diploma,  are  now  imposing  entrance  requirements  upon 
applicants.  Others,  required  by  law  or  long  tradition  not 
to  turn  away  any  high-school  graduate  who  applies,  resort 
in  desperation  to  a  high  flunk-out  rate  in  the  freshman 
year  in  order  to  whittle  down  their  student  bodies  to 
manageable  size.  In  other  states,  coordinated  systems  of 
higher  education  are  being  devised  to  accommodate

students  of  differing  aptitudes,  high-school  academic 
records,  and  career  goals. 

Two-year  colleges:  Growing  at  a  faster  rate  than  any 
other  segment  of  U.S.  higher  education  is  a  group  com- 
prising both  public  and  independently  supported  institu- 
tions: the  two-year,  or  "junior,"  colleges.  Approximately 
600  now  exist  in  the  United  States,  and  experts  estimate 
that  an  average  of  at  least  20  per  year  will  be  established 
in  the  coming  decade.  More  than  400  of  the  two-year 
institutions  are  community  colleges,  located  within  com- 
muting distance  of  their  students. 

These  colleges  provide  three  main  services:  education  for 
students  who  will  later  transfer  to  four-year  colleges  or 
universities  (studies  show  they  often  do  as  well  as  those 
who  go  directly  from  high  school  to  a  four-year  institu- 
tion, and  sometimes  better),  terminal  training  for  voca- 
tions (more  and  more  important  as  jobs  require  higher 
technical  skills),  and  adult  education  and  community 
cultural  activities. 

Evidence  of  their  importance:  One  out  of  every  four 
students  beginning  higher  education  today  does  so  in  a 
two-year  college.  By  1975,  the  ratio  is  likely  to  be  one  in 
two. 

Branch  campuses:  To  meet  local  demands  for  educa- 
tional institutions,  some  state  universities  have  opened 
branches  in  population  centers  distant  from  their  main 
campuses.  The  trend  is  likely  to  continue.  On  occasion, 
however,  the  "branch  campus"  concept  may  conflict  with 
the  "community  college"  concept.  In  Ohio,  for  example, 
proponents  of  community  two-year  colleges  are  currently 
arguing  that  locally  controlled  community  institutions  are 
the  best  answer  to  the  state's  college-enrollment  prob- 
lems. But  Ohio  State  University,  Ohio  University,  and 
Miami  University,  which  operate  off-campus  centers  and 
whose  leaders  advocate  the  establishment  of  more,  say 
that  taxpayers  get  better  value  at  lower  cost  from  a  uni- 
versity-run branch-campus  system. 

Coordinated  systems :  To  meet  both  present  and  future 
demands  for  higher  education,  a  number  of  states  are 
attempting  to  coordinate  their  existing  colleges  and 
universities  and  to  lay  long-range  plans  for  developing 
new  ones. 

California,  a  leader  in  such  efforts,  has  a  "master  plan" 
involving  not  only  the  three  main  types  of  publicly  sup- 
ported institutions — the  state  university,  state  colleges, 
and  locally  sponsored  two-year  colleges.  Private  institu- 
tions voluntarily  take  part  in  the  master  planning,  also. 

With  at  least  661,000  students  expected  in  their  colleges 
and  universities  by  1975,  Californians  have  worked  out 
a  plan  under  which  every  high-school  graduate  will  be 
eligible  to  attend  a  junior  college;  the  top  one-third  will 
be  eligible  for  admission  to  a  state  college;  and  the  top 
one-eighth  will  be  eligible  to  go  directly  from  high  school 
to  the  University  of  California.  The  plan  is  flexible:  stu- 
dents who  prove  themselves  in  a  junior  college,  for

example,  may  transfer  to  the  university.  If  past  experience 
is  a  guide,  many  will — with  notable  academic  success. 

Thus  it  is  likely  that  somewhere  in  America's  nearly 
2,000  colleges  and  universities  there  will  be  room 
for  your  children. 

How  will  you — and  they — find  it? 

On  the  same  day  in  late  May  of  last  year,  33,559  letters 
went  out  to  young  people  who  had  applied  for  admission 
to  the  1961  freshman  class  in  one  or  more  of  the  eight 
schools  that  compose  the  Ivy  League.  Of  these  letters, 
20,248  were  rejection  notices. 

Not  all  of  the  20,248  had  been  misguided  in  applying. 
Admissions  officers  testify  that  the  quality  of  the  1961  ap- 
plicants was  higher  than  ever  before,  that  the  competition 
was  therefore  intense,  and  that  many  applicants  who 
might  have  been  welcomed  in  other  years  had  to  be 
turned  away  in  '61. 

Even  so,  as  in  years  past,  a  number  of  the  applicants 
had  been  the  victims  of  bad  advice — from  parents, 
teachers,  and  friends.  Had  they  applied  to  other  institu- 
tions, equally  or  better  suited  to  their  aptitudes  and 
abilities,  they  would  have  been  accepted  gladly,  avoiding 
the  bitter  disappointment,  and  the  occasional  tragedy,  of 
a  turndown. 

The  Ivy  League  experience  can  be,  and  is,  repeated  in 
dozens  of  other  colleges  and  universities  every  spring. 
Yet,  while  some  institutions  are  rejecting  more  applica- 
tions than  they  can  accept,  others  (perhaps  better  qualified 
to  meet  the  rejected  students'  needs)  still  have  openings  in 
their  freshman  classes  on  registration  day. 

Educators,  both  in  the  colleges  and  in  the  secondary 
schools,  are  aware  of  the  problems  in  "marrying"  the 
right  students  to  the  right  colleges.  An  intensive  effort  is 
under  way  to  relieve  them.  In  the  future,  you  may  expect: 
►    Better  guidance  by  high-school  counselors,  based  on 


improved  testing  methods  and  on  improved  understanding 
of  individual  colleges  and  their  offerings. 

►  Better  definitions,  by  individual  colleges  and  univer- 
sities, of  their  philosophies  of  admission,  their  criteria  for 
choosing  students,  their  strengths  in  meeting  the  needs  of 
certain  types  of  student  and  their  weakness  in  meeting  the 
needs  of  others. 

►  Less  parental  pressure  on  their  offspring  to  attend:  the 
college  or  university  that  mother  or  father  attended;  the 
college  or  university  that  "everybody  else's  children"  are 
attending;  the  college  or  university  that  enjoys  the  greatest 
sports-page  prestige,  the  greatest  financial-page  prestige, 
or  the  greatest  society-page  prestige  in  town. 

►  More  awareness  that  children  are  different  from  one 
another,  that  colleges  are  different  from  one  another,  and 


that  a  happy  match  of  children  and  institutions  is  within 
the  reach  of  any  parent  (and  student)  who  takes  the  pains 
to  pursue  it  intelligently. 

►  Exploration — but  probably,  in  the  near  future,  no 
widespread  adoption — of  a  central  clearing-house  for  col- 
lege applications,  with  students  stating  their  choices  of 
colleges  in  preferential  order  and  colleges  similarly  listing 
their  choices  of  students.  The  "clearing-house"  would 
thereupon  match  students  and  institutions  according  to 
their  preferences. 

Despite  the  likely  growth  of  these  practices,  applying  to 
college  may  well  continue  to  be  part-chaos,  part-panic, 
part-snobbishness  for  years  to  come.  But  with  the  aid  of 
enlightened  parents  and  educators,  it  will  be  less  so, 
tomorrow,  than  it  is  today. 


yy  hat  will  they  find 


in  college? 


The  college  of  tomorrow — the  one  your  children 
will  find  when  they  get  in — is  likely  to  differ  from 
the  college  you  knew  in  your  days  as  a  student. 
The  students  themselves  will  be  different. 
Curricula  will  be  different. 

Extracurricular  activities  will  be  different,  in  many 
respects,  from  what  they  were  in  your  day. 

The  college  year,  as  well  as  the  college  day,  may  be 
different. 
Modes  of  study  will  be  different. 
With  one  or  two  conspicuous  exceptions,  the  changes 
will  be  for  the  better.    But  for   better  or   for  worse, 
changes  there  will  be. 

THE  NEW  BREED  OF  STUDENTS 

it  will  come  as  news  to  no  parents  that  their  children 
are  different  from  themselves. 

Academically,  they  are  proving  to  be  more  serious  than 
many  of  their  predecessor  generations.  Too  serious,  some 
say.  They  enter  college  with  an  eye  already  set  on  the 
vocation  they  hope  to  pursue  when  they  get  out;  college, 
to  many,  is  simply  the  means  to  that  end. 

Many  students  plan  to  marry  as  soon  as  they  can  afford 
to,  and  some  even  before  they  can  afford  to.  They  want 
families,  homes,  a  fair  amount  of  leisure,  good  jobs, 
security.  They  dream  not  of  a  far-distant  future;  today's 
students  are  impatient  to  translate  their  dreams  into 
reality,  soon. 


Like  most  generalizations,  these  should  be  qualified. 
There  will  be  students  who  are  quite  far  from  the  average, 
and  this  is  as  it  should  be.  But  with  international  ten- 
sions, recurrent  war  threats,  military-service  obligations, 
and  talk  of  utter  destruction  of  the  race,  the  tendency  is 
for  the  young  to  want  to  cram  their  lives  full  of  living — 
with  no  unnecessary  delays,  please. 

At  the  moment,  there  is  little  likelihood  that  the  urge  to 
pace  one's  life  quickly  and  seriously  will  soon  pass.  This  is 
the  tempo  the  adult  world  has  set  for  its  young,  and  they 
will  march  doubletime  to  it. 

Economic  backgrounds  of  students  will  continue  to 
grow  more  diverse.  In  recent  years,  thanks  to  scholar- 
ships, student  loans,  and  the  spectacular  growth  of 
public  educational  institutions,  higher  education  has 
become  less  and  less  the  exclusive  province  of  the  sons 
and  daughters  of  the  well-to-do.  The  spread  of  scholarship 
and  loan  programs  geared  to  family  income  levels  will  in- 
tensify this  trend,  not  only  in  low-tuition  public  colleges 
and  universities  but  in  high-tuition  private  institutions. 

Students  from  foreign  countries  will  flock  to  the  U.S.  for 
college  education,  barring  a  totally  deteriorated  interna- 
tional situation.  Last  year  53,107  foreign  students,  from 
143  countries  and  political  areas,  were  enrolled  in  1,666 
American  colleges  and  universities — almost  a  10  per  cent 
increase  over  the  year  before.  Growing  numbers  of 
African  and  Asian  students  accounted  for  the  rise;  the 
growth  is  virtually  certain  to  continue.  The  presence  of 


such  students  on  U.S.  campuses — 50  per  cent  of  them  are 
undergraduates — has  already  contributed  to  a  greater 
international  awareness  on  the  part  of  American  stu- 
dents. The  influence  is  bound  to  grow. 

Foreign  study  by  U.S.  students  is  increasing.  In  1959-60, 
the  most  recent  year  reported,  1 5,306  were  enrolled  in  63 
foreign  countries,  a  12  per  cent  increase  in  a  period  of  12 
months.  Students  traveling  abroad  during  summer  vaca- 
tions add  impressive  numbers  to  this  total. 

WHAT  THEY'LL  STUDY 

studies  are  in  the  course  of  change,  and  the  changes  will 
affect  your  children.  A  new  toughness  in  academic 
standards  will  reflect  the  great  amount  of  knowledge  that 
must  be  imparted  in  the  college  years. 

In  the  sciences,  changes  are  particularly  obvious.  Every 
decade,  writes  Thomas  Stelson  of  Carnegie  Tech,  25  per 
cent  of  the  curriculum  must  be  abandoned,  due  to 
obsolescence.  J.  Robert  Oppenheimer  puts  it  another 
way:  nearly  everything  now  known  in  science,  he  says, 
"was  not  in  any  book  when  most  of  us  went  to  school." 

There  will  be  differences  in  the  social  sciences  and 
humanities,  as  well.  Language  instruction,  now  getting 
new  emphasis,  is  an  example.  The  use  of  language  lab- 
oratories, with  tape  recordings  and  other  mechanical 
devices,  is  already  popular  and  will  spread.  Schools  once 
preoccupied  almost  entirely  with  science  and  technology 
(e.g.,  colleges  of  engineering,  leading  medical  schools) 
have  now  integrated  social  and  humanistic  studies  into 
their  curricula,  and  the  trend  will  spread  to  other  institu- 
tions. 

International  emphasis  also  will  grow.  The  big  push  will 
be  related  to  nations  and  regions  outside  the  Western 
World.  For  the  first  time  on  a  large  scale,  the  involvement 


of  U.S.  higher  education  will  be  truly  global.  This  non- 
Western  orientation,  says  one  college  president  (who  is 
seconded  by  many  others)  is  "the  new  frontier  in  Ameri- 
can higher  education."  For  undergraduates,  comparative 
studies  in  both  the  social  sciences  and  the  humanities  are 
likely  to  be  stressed.  The  hoped-for  result:  better  under- 
standing of  the  human  experience  in  all  cultures. 

Mechanics  of  teaching  will  improve.  "Teaching  ma- 
chines" will  be  used  more  and  more,  as  educators  assess 
their  value  and  versatility  (see  Who  will  teach  them?  on 
the  following  pages).  Closed-circuit  television  will  carry  a 
lecturer's  voice  and  closeup  views  of  his  demonstrations  to 
hundreds  of  students  simultaneously.  TV  and  microfilm 
will  grow  in  usefulness  as  library  tools,  enabling  institu- 
tions to  duplicate,  in  small  space,  the  resources  of  distant 
libraries  and  specialized  rare-book  collections.  Tape 
recordings  will  put  music  and  drama,  performed  by 
masters,  on  every  campus.  Computers,  already  becoming 
almost  commonplace,  will  be  used  for  more  and  more 
study  and  research  purposes. 

This  availability  of  resources  unheard-of  in  their 
parents'  day  will  enable  undergraduates  to  embark  on 
extensive  programs  of  independent  study.  Under  careful 
faculty  guidance,  independent  study  will  equip  students 
with  research  ability,  problem-solving  techniques,  and 
bibliographic  savvy  which  should  be  of  immense  value  to 
them  throughout  their  lives.  Many  of  yesterday's  college 
graduates  still  don't  know  how  to  work  creatively  in  un- 
familiar intellectual  territory:  to  pinpoint  a  problem, 
formulate  intelligent  questions,  use  a  library,  map  a  re- 
search project.  There  will  be  far  fewer  gaps  of  this  sort  in 
the  training  of  tomorrow's  students. 

Great  new  stress  on  quality  will  be  found  at  all  institu- 
tions. Impending  explosive  growth  of  the  college  popula- 
tion has  put  the  spotlight,  for  years,  on  handling  large 
numbers  of  students;  this  has  worried  educators  who 
feared  that  quality  might  be  lost  in  a  national  preoccupa- 
tion with  quantity.  Big  institutions,  particularly  those  with 
"growth  situations,"  are  now  putting  emphasis  on  main- 
taining high  academic  standards — and  even  raising  them 
— while  handling  high  enrollments,  too.  Honors  pro- 
grams, opportunities  for  undergraduate  research,  in- 
sistence on  creditable  scholastic  achievement  are  symp- 
tomatic of  the  concern  for  academic  excellence. 

It's  important  to  realize  that  this  emphasis  on  quality 
will  be  found  not  only  in  four-year  colleges  and  universi- 
ties, but  in  two-year  institutions,  also.  "Each  [type  of 
institution]  shall  strive  for  excellence  in  its  sphere,"  is 
how  the  California  master  plan  for  higher  education  puts 
it;  the  same  idea  is  pervading  higher  education  at  all  levels 
throughout  the  nation. 

WHERE'S  THE  FUN? 

extracurricular  activity  has  been  undergoing  subtle 

changes  at  colleges  and  universities  for  years  and  is  likely 


to  continue  doing  so.  Student  apathy  toward  some  ac- 
tivities— political  clubs,  for  example — is  lessening.  Toward 
other  activities— the  light,  the  frothy— apathy  appears  to 
be  growing.  There  is  less  interest  in  spectator  sports,  more 
interest  in  participant  sports  that  will  be  playable  for  most 
of  a  lifetime.  Student  newspapers,  observes  the  dean  of 
students  at  a  college  on  the  Eastern  seaboard,  no  longer 
rant  about  band  uniforms,  closing  hours  for  fraternity 
parties,  and  the  need  for  bigger  pep  rallies.  Sororities  are 
disappearing  from  the  campuses  of  women's  colleges. 
"Fun  festivals"  are  granted  less  time  and  importance  by 
students;  at  one  big  midwestern  university,  for  example, 
the  events  of  May  Week — formerly  a  five-day  wingding 
involving  floats,  honorary-fraternity  initiations,  faculty- 
student  baseball,  and  crowning  of  the  May  Queen — are 
now  crammed  into  one  half-day.  In  spite  of  the  well- 
publicized  antics  of  a  relatively  few  roof-raisers  (e.g., 
student  rioters  at  several  summer  resorts  last  Labor  Day, 
student  revelers  at  Florida  resorts  during  spring-vacation 
periods),  a  new  seriousness  is  the  keynote  of  most  student 
activities. 

"The  faculty  and  administration  are  more  resistant  to 
these  changes  than  the  students  are,"  jokes  the  president  of 
a  women's  college  in  Pittsburgh.  "The  typical  student 
congress  wants  to  abolish  the  junior  prom;  the  dean  is  the 


one  who  feels  nostalgic  about  it:  'That's  the  one  event 
Mrs.  Jones  and  I  looked  forward  to  each  year.'  " 

A  QUEST  FOR  ETHICAL  VALUES 

education,  more  and  more  educators  are  saying,  "should 
be  much  more  than  the  mere  retention  of  subject  matter." 

Here  are  three  indications  of  how  the  thoughts  of  many 
educators  are  running: 

"If  [the  student]  enters  college  and  pursues  either  an 
intellectual  smorgasbord,  intellectual  Teutonism,  or  the 
cash  register,"  says  a  midwestern  educator,  "his  educa- 
tion will  have  advanced  very  little,  if  at  all.  The  odds  are 
quite  good  that  he  will  simply  have  exchanged  one  form  of 
barbarism  for  another  .  .  .  Certainly  there  is  no  incom- 
patibility between  being  well-informed  and  being  stupid; 
such  a  condition  makes  the  student  a  danger  to  himself 
and  society." 

Says  another  observer:  "I  prophesy  that  a  more  serious 
intention  and  mood  will  progressively  characterize  the 
campus  .  .  .  This  means,  most  of  all,  commitment  to  the 
use  of  one's  learning  in  fruitful,  creative,  and  noble  ways." 

"The  responsibility  of  the  educated  man,"  says  the 
provost  of  a  state  university  in  New  England,  "is  that  he 
make  articulate  to  himself  and  to  others  what  he  is  willing 
to  bet  his  life  on." 


yy ho  will  teach  them? 


Know  the  quality  of  the  teaching  that  your  children 
can  look  forward  to,  and  you  will  know  much 
■  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  education  they  will 
receive.  Teaching,  tomorrow  as  in  the  past,  is  the  heart  of 
higher  education. 

It  is  no  secret,  by  now,  that  college  teaching  has  been 
on  a  plateau  of  crisis  in  the  U.S.  for  some  years.  Much  of 
the  problem  is  traceable  to  money.  Salaries  paid  to  college 
teachers  lagged  far  behind  those  paid  elsewhere  in  jobs 
requiring  similarly  high  talents.  While  real  incomes,  as 
well  as  dollar  incomes,  climbed  for  most  other  groups  of 
Americans,  the  real  incomes  of  college  professors  not 
merely  stood  still  but  dropped  noticeably. 

The  financial  pinch  became  so  bad,  for  some  teachers, 
that  despite  obvious  devotion  to  their  careers  and  obvious 
preference  for  this  profession  above  all  others,  they  had  to 
leave  for  other  jobs.  Many  bright  young  people,  the  sort 
who  ordinarily  would  be  attracted  to  teaching  careers, 
took  one  look  at  the  salary  scales  and  decided  to  make 
their  mark  in  another  field. 

Has  the  situation  improved? 


Will  it  be  better  when  your  children  go  to  college? 

Yes.  At  the  moment,  faculty  salaries  and  fringe  benefits 
(on  the  average)  are  rising.  Since  the  rise  started  from  an 
extremely  disadvantageous  level,  ho  we  ver,  no  one  is  getting 
rich  in  the  process.  Indeed,  on  almost  every  campus  the 
real  income  in  every  rank  of  the  faculty  is  still  considerably 
less  than  it  once  was.  Nor  have  faculty  salary  scales, 
generally,  caught  up  with  the  national  scales  in  competitive 
areas  such  as  business  and  government. 

But  the  trend  is  encouraging.  If  it  continues,  the 
financial  plight  of  teachers — and  the  serious  threat  to 
education  which  it  has  posed — should  be  substantially 
diminished  by  1970. 

None  of  this  will  happen  automatically,  of  course.  For 
evidence,  check  the  appropriations  for  higher  education 
made  at  your  state  legislature's  most  recent  session.  If 
yours  was  like  a  number  of  recent  legislatures,  it  "econo- 
mized"— and  professorial  salaries  suffered.  The  support 
which  has  enabled  many  colleges  to  correct  the  most 
glaring  salary  deficiencies  must  continue  until  the  problem 
is  fully  solved.  After  that,  it  is  essential  to  make  sure  that 


<*m 


the  quality  of  our  college  teaching — a  truly  crucial  element 
in  fashioning  the  minds  and  attitudes  of  your  children — is 
not  jeopardized  again  by  a  failure  to  pay  its  practitioners 
adequately. 

There  are  other  angles  to  the  question  of  attracting 
and  retaining  a  good  faculty  besides  money. 
►  The  better  the  student  body — the  more  challeng- 
ing, the  more  lively  its  members — the  more  attractive  is  the 
job  of  teaching  it.  "Nothing  is  more  certain  to  make 
teaching  a  dreadful  task  than  the  feeling  that  you  are 
dealing  with  people  who  have  no  interest  in  what  you  are 
talking  about,"  says  an  experienced  professor  at  a  small 
college  in  the  Northwest. 

"An  appalling  number  of  the  students  I  have  known 
were  bright,  tested  high  on  their  College  Boards,  and 
still  lacked  flair  and  drive  and  persistence,"  says  another 
professor.  "I  have  concluded  that  much  of  the  difference 
between  them  and  the  students  who  are  'alive'  must  be 
traceable  to  their  homes,  their  fathers,  their  mothers. 
Parents  who  themselves  take  the  trouble  to  be  interesting 
— and  interested — seem  to  send  us  children  who  are 
interesting  and  interested." 

►  The  better  the  library  and  laboratory  facilities,  the 
more  likely  is  a  college  to  be  able  to  recruit  and  keep  a 
good  faculty.  Even  small  colleges,  devoted  strictly  to 
undergraduate  studies,  are  finding  ways  to  provide  their 
faculty  members  with  opportunities  to  do  independent 
reading  and  research.  They  find  it  pays  in  many  ways:  the 
faculty  teaches  better,  is  more  alert  to  changes  in  the 
subject  matter,  is  less  likely  to  leave  for  other  fields. 

►  The  better  the  public-opinion  climate  toward  teachers 
in  a  community,  the  more  likely  is  a  faculty  to  be  strong. 
Professors  may  grumble  among  themselves  about  all  the 
invitations  they  receive  to  speak  to  women's  clubs  and 


alumni  groups  ("When  am  I  supposed  to  find  the  time  to 
check  my  lecture  notes?"),  but  they  take  heart  from  the 
high  regard  for  their  profession  which  such  invitations 
from  the  community  represent. 

►  Part-time  consultant  jobs  are  an  attraction  to  good 
faculty  members.  (Conversely,  one  of  the  principal  check- 
points for  many  industries  seeking  new  plant  sites  is, 
What  faculty  talent  is  nearby?)  Such  jobs  provide  teachers 
both  with  additional  income  and  with  enormously  useful 
opportunities  to  base  their  classroom  teachings  on 
practical,  current  experience. 

But  colleges  and  universities  must  do  more  than 
hold  on  to  their  present  good  teachers  and  replace 
those  who  retire  or  resign.  Over  the  next  few  years 
many  institutions  must  add  to  their  teaching  staffs  at  a 
prodigious  rate,  in  order  to  handle  the  vastly  larger 
numbers  of  students  who  are  already  forming  lines  in  the 
admissions  office. 

The  ability  to  be  a  college  teacher  is  not  a  skill  that  can 
be  acquired  overnight,  or  in  a  year  or  two.  A  Ph.D. 
degree  takes  at  least  four  years  to  get,  after  one  has 
earned  his  bachelor's  degree.  More  often  it  takes  six  or 
seven  years,  and  sometimes  10  to  15. 

In  every  ten-year  period  since  the  turn  of  the  century, 
as  Bernard  Berelson  of  Columbia  University  has  pointed 
out,  the  production  of  doctorates  in  the  U.S.  has  doubled. 
But  only  about  60  per  cent  of  Ph.D.'s  today  go  into 
academic  life,  compared  with  about  80  per  cent  at  the  turn 
of  the  century.  And  only  20  per  cent  wind  up  teaching 
undergraduates  in  liberal  arts  colleges. 

Holders  of  lower  degrees,  therefore,  will  occupy  many 
teaching  positions  on  tomorrow's  college  faculties. 

This  is  not  necessarily  bad.  A  teacher's  ability  is  not 
always  defined  by  the  number  of  degrees  he  is  entitled  to 


write  after  his  name.  Indeed,  said  the  graduate  dean  of  one 
great  university  several  years  ago,  it  is  high  time  that 
"universities  have  the  courage  ...  to  select  men  very 
largely  on  the  quality  of  work  they  have  done  and  soft- 
pedal  this  matter  of  degrees." 

IN  summary,  salaries  for  teachers  will  be  better,  larger 
numbers  of  able  young  people  will  be  attracted  into  the 
field  (but  their  preparation  will  take  time),  and  fewer 
able  people  will  be  lured  away.  In  expanding  their  faculties, 
some  colleges  and  universities  will  accept  more  holders  of 
bachelor's  and  master's  degrees  than  they  have  been  ac- 
customed to,  but  this  may  force  them  to  focus  attention 
on  ability  rather  than  to  rely  as  unquestioningly  as  in  the 
past  on  the  magic  of  a  doctor's  degree. 

Meanwhile,  other  developments  provide  grounds  for 
cautious  optimism  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  teaching 
your  children  will  receive. 

THE  TV  SCREEN 

television,  not  long  ago  found  only  in  the  lounges  of 
dormitories  and  student  unions,  is  now  an  accepted 
teaching  tool  on  many  campuses.  Its  use  will  grow.  "To 
report  on  the  use  of  television  in  teaching,"  says  Arthur 
S.  Adams,  past  president  of  the  American  Council  on 
Education,  "is  like  trying  to  catch  a  galloping  horse." 

For  teaching  closeup  work  in  dentistry,  surgery,  and 
laboratory  sciences,  closed-circuit  TV  is  unexcelled.  The 
number  of  students  who  can  gaze  into  a  patient's  gaping 
mouth  while  a  teacher  demonstrates  how  to  fill  a  cavity 
is  limited;  when  their  place  is  taken  by  a  TV  camera  and 
the  students  cluster  around  TV  screens,  scores  can  watch 
— and  see  more,  too. 

Television,  at  large  schools,  has  the  additional  virtue  of 
extending  the  effectiveness  of  a  single  teacher.  Instead  of 
giving  the  same  lecture  (replete  with  the  same  jokes)  three 
times  to  students  filling  the  campus's  largest  hall,  a  pro- 
fessor can  now  give  it  once — and  be  seen  in  as  many 
auditoriums  and  classrooms  as  are  needed  to  accommo- 
date all  registrants  in  his  course.  Both  the  professor  and 
the  jokes  are  fresher,  as  a  result. 

How  effective  is  TV?  Some  carefully  controlled  studies 
show  that  students  taught  from  the  fluorescent  screen  do 
as  well  in  some  types  of  course  (e.g.,  lectures)  as  those 
sitting  in  the  teacher's  presence,  and  sometimes  better. 
But  TV  standardizes  instruction  to  a  degree  that  is  not 
always  desirable.  And,  reports  Henry  H.  Cassirer  of 
UNESCO,  who  has  analyzed  television  teaching  in  the 
U.S.,  Canada,  Great  Britain,  France,  Italy,  Russia,  and 
Japan,  students  do  not  want  to  lose  contact  with  their 
teachers.  They  want  to  be  able  to  ask  questions  as  instruc- 
tion progresses.  Mr.  Cassirer  found  effective,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  combination  of  a  central  TV  lecturer  with 
classroom  instructors  who  prepare  students  for  the  lecture 
and  then  discuss  it  with  them  afterward. 


TEACHING  MACHINES 

holding  great  promise  for  the  improvement  of  instruc- 
tion at  all  levels  of  schooling,  including  college,  are 
programs  of  learning  presented  through  mechanical  self- 
teaching  devices,  popularly  called  "teaching  machines." 

The  most  widely  used  machine,  invented  by  Professor 
Frederick  Skinner  of  Harvard,  is  a  box-like  device  with 


three  windows  in  its  top.  When  the  student  turns  a  crank, 
an  item  of  information,  along  with  a  question  about  it, 
appears  in  the  lefthand  window  (A).  The  student  writes 
his  answer  to  the  question  on  a  paper  strip  exposed  in 
another  window  (B).  The  student  turns  the  crank  again — 
and  the  correct  answer  appears  at  window  A. 

Simultaneously,  this  action  moves  the  student's  answer 
under  a  transparent  shield  covering  window  C,  so  that 
the  student  can  see,  but  not  change,  what  he  has  written. 
If  the  answer  is  correct,  the  student  turns  another  crank, 
causing  the  tape  to  be  notched;  the  machine  will  by-pass 
this  item  when  the  student  goes  through  the  series  of  ques- 
tions again.  Questions  are  arranged  so  that  each  item 
builds  on  previous  information  the  machine  has  given. 

Such  self-teaching  devices  have  these  advantages: 

►  Each  student  can  proceed  at  his  own  pace,  whereas 
classroom  lectures  must  be  paced  to  the  "average"  student 
— too  fast  for  some,  too  slow  for  others.  "With  a  ma- 
chine," comments  a  University  of  Rochester  psychologist, 
"the  brighter  student  could  go  ahead  at  a  very  fast  pace." 

►  The  machine  makes  examinations  and  testing  a  re- 
warding and  learning  experience,  rather  than  a  punish- 
ment. If  his  answer  is  correct,  the  student  is  rewarded 
with  that  knowledge  instantly;  this  reinforces  his  memory 
of  the  right  information.  If  the  answer  is  incorrect,  the 
machine  provides  the  correct  answer  immediately.  In  large 
classes,  no  teacher  can  provide  such  frequent— and  indi- 
vidual— rewards  and  immediate  corrections. 

►  The  machine  smooths  the  ups  and  downs  in  the  learn- 


ing  process  by  removing  some  external  sources  of  anxie- 
ties, such  as  fear  of  falling  behind. 
►  If  a  student  is  having  difficulty  with  a  subject,  the 
teacher  can  check  back  over  his  machine  tapes  and  find 
the  exact  point  at  which  the  student  began  to  go  wrong. 
Correction  of  the  difficulty  can  be  made  with  precision, 
not  gropingly  as  is  usually  necessary  in  machineless 
classes. 

Not  only  do  the  machines  give  promise  of  accelerating 
the  learning  process;  they  introduce  an  individuality  to 


learning  which  has  previously  been  unknown.  "Where 
television  holds  the  danger  of  standardized  instruction," 
said  John  W.  Gardner,  president  of  the  Carnegie  Corpora- 
tion of  New  York,  in  a  report  to  then-President  Eisen- 
hower, "the  self-teaching  device  can  individualize  instruc- 
tion in  ways  not  now  possible — and  the  student  is  always 
an  active  participant."  Teaching  machines  are  being 
tested,  and  used,  on  a  number  of  college  campuses  and 
seem  certain  to  figure  prominently  in  the  teaching  of  your 
children. 


Yy  ill  they  graduate? 


Said  an  administrator  at  a  university  in  the  South 
not  long  ago  (he  was  the  director  of  admissions,  no 
less,  and  he  spoke  not  entirely  in  jest): 

"I'm  happy  I  went  to  college  back  when  I  did,  instead 
of  now.  Today,  the  admissions  office  probably  wouldn't 
let  me  in.  If  they  did,  I  doubt  that  I'd  last  more  than  a 
semester  or  two." 

Getting  into  college  is  a  problem,  nowadays.  Staying 
there,  once  in,  can  be  even  more  difficult. 

Here  are  some  of  the  principal  reasons  why  many 
students  fail  to  finish : 

Academic  failure:  For  one  reason  or  another — not 
always  connected  with  a  lack  of  aptitude  or  potential 
scholastic  ability — many  students  fail  to  make  the  grade. 
Low  entrance  requirements,  permitting  students  to  enter 
college  without  sufficient  aptitude  or  previous  preparation, 
also  play  a  big  part.  In  schools  where  only  a  high-school 
diploma  is  required  for  admission,  drop-outs  and  failures 
during  the  first  two  years  average  (nationally)  between  60 
and  70  per  cent.  Normally  selective  admissions  procedures 
usually  cut  this  rate  down  to  between  20  and  40  per  cent. 
Where  admissions  are  based  on  keen  competition,  the 
attrition  rate  is  10  per  cent  or  less. 

future  outlook:  High  schools  are  tightening  their 
academic  standards,  insisting  upon  greater  effort  by 
students,  and  teaching  the  techniques  of  note-taking,  ef- 
fective studying,  and  library  use.  Such  measures  will 
inevitably  better  the  chances  of  students  when  they  reach 
college.  Better  testing  and  counseling  programs  should 
help,  by  guiding  less-able  students  away  from  institutions 
where  they'll  be  beyond  their  depth  and  into  institutions 
better  suited  to  their  abilities  and  needs.  Growing  popular 
acceptance  of  the  two-year  college  concept  will  also  help, 
as  will  the  adoption  of  increasingly  selective  admissions 
procedures  by  four-year  colleges  and  universities. 

Parents  can  help  by  encouraging  activities  designed  to 
find  the  right  academic  spot  for  their  children;  by  recog- 


nizing their  children's  strengths  and  limitations;  by  creat- 
ing an  atmosphere  in  which  children  will  be  encouraged  to 
read,  to  study,  to  develop  curiosity,  to  accept  new  ideas. 

Poor  motivation:  Students  drop  out  of  college  "not  only 
because  they  lack  ability  but  because  they  do  not  have 
the  motivation  for  serious  study,"  say  persons  who  have 
studied  the  attrition  problem.  This  aspect  of  students' 
failure  to  finish  college  is  attracting  attention  from  edu- 
cators and  administrators  both  in  colleges  and  in  secondary 
schools. 

future  outlook:  Extensive  research  is  under  way  to 
determine  whether  motivation  can  be  measured.  The 
"Personal  Values  Inventory,"  developed  by  scholars  at 
Colgate  University,  is  one  promising  yardstick,  providing 
information  about  a  student's  long-range  persistence, 
personal  self-control,  and  deliberateness  (as  opposed  to 
rashness).  Many  colleges  and  universities  are  participating 
in  the  study,  in  an  effort  to  establish  the  efficacy  of  the 
tests.  Thus  far,  report  the  Colgate  researchers,  "the  tests 
have  successfully  differentiated  between  over-  and  under- 
achieves in  every  college  included  in  the  sample." 

Parents  can  help  by  their  own  attitudes  toward  scholas- 
tic achievement  and  by  encouraging  their  children  to 


develop  independence  from  adults.  "This,  coupled  with 
the  reflected  image  that  a  person  acquires  from  his 
parents — an  image  relating  to  persistence  and  other 
traits  and  values — may  have  much  to  do  with  his  orienta- 
tion toward  academic  success,"  the  Colgate  investigators 
say. 

Money:  Most  parents  think  they  know  the  cost  of  send- 
ing a  child  to  college.  But,  a  recent  survey  shows,  rela- 
tively few  of  them  actually  do.  The  average  parent,  the 
survey  disclosed,  underestimates  college  costs  by  roughly 
40  per  cent.  In  such  a  situation,  parental  savings  for  col- 
lege purposes  often  run  out  quickly — and,  unless  the 
student  can  fill  the  gap  with  scholarship  aid,  a  loan,  or 
earnings  from  part-time  employment,  he  drops  out. 

future  outlook:  A  surprisingly  high  proportion  of 
financial  dropouts  are  children  of  middle-income,  not 
low-income,  families.  If  parents  would  inform  themselves 
fully  about  current  college  costs — and  reinform  them- 
selves periodically,  since  prices  tend  to  go  up — a  substan- 
tial part  of  this  problem  could  be  solved  in  the  future  by 
realistic  family  savings  programs. 

Other  probabilities:  growing  federal  and  state  (as 
well  as  private)  scholarship  programs;  growing  private 
and  governmental  loan  programs. 

Jobs:  Some  students,  anxious  to  strike  out  on  their 
own,  are  lured  from  college  by  jobs  requiring  little  skill  but 
offering  attractive  starting  salaries.  Many  such  students 
may  have  hesitated  about  going  to  college  in  the  first 
place  and  drop  out  at  the  first  opportunity. 

future  outlook:  The  lure  of  jobs  will  always  tempt 
some  students,  but  awareness  of  the  value  of  completing 
college — for  lifelong  financial  gain,  if  for  no  other  reason 
— is  increasing. 

Emotional  problems:  Some  students  find  themselves 
unable  to  adjust  to  college  life  and  drop  out  as  a  result. 
Often  such  problems  begin  when  a  student  chooses  a  col- 
lege that's  "wrong"  for  him.  It  may  accord  him  too  much 
or  too  little  freedom;  its  pace  may  be  too  swift  for  him, 
resulting  in  frustration,  or  too  slow,  resulting  in  boredom; 
it  may  be  "too  social"  or  "not  social  enough." 

future  outlook:  With  expanding  and  more  skillful 
guidance  counseling  and  psychological  testing,  more 
students  can  expect  to  be  steered  to  the  "right"  college 
environment.  This  won't  entirely  eliminate  the  emotional- 
maladjustment  problem,  but  it  should  ease  it  substantially. 

Marriage:  Many  students  marry  while  still  in  college 
but  fully  expect  to  continue  their  education.  A  number  do 
go  on  (sometimes  wives  withdraw  from  college  to  earn 
money  to  pay  their  husbands'  educational  expenses). 
Others  have  children  before  graduating  and  must  drop 
out  of  college  in  order  to  support  their  family. 

future  outlook:  The  trend  toward  early  marriage 
shows  no  signs  of  abating.  Large  numbers  of  parents 
openly  or  tacitly  encourage  children  to  go  steady  and  to 
marry  at  an  early  age.  More  and  more  colleges  are  provid- 


ing living  quarters  for  married  undergraduate  students. 
Some  even  have  day-care  facilities  for  students'  young 
children.  Attitudes  and  customs  in  their  "peer  groups" 
will  continue  to  influence  young  people  on  the  question 
of  marrying  early;  in  some  groups,  it's  frowned  upon;  in 
others,  it's  the  thing  to  do. 

Colleges  and  universities  are  deeply  interested  in 
finding  solutions  to  the  attrition  problem  in  all  its 
aspects.  Today,  at  many  institutions,  enrollment 
resembles  a  pyramid:  the  freshman  class,  at  the  bottom, 
is  big;  the  sophomore  class  is  smaller,  the  junior  class  still 
smaller,  and  the  senior  class  a  mere  fraction  of  the  fresh- 
man group.  Such  pyramids  are  wasteful,  expensive,  inef- 
ficient. They  represent  hundreds,  sometimes  thousands,  of 
personal  tragedies:  young  people  who  didn't  make  it. 

The  goal  of  the  colleges  is  to  change  the  pyramid  into  a 
straight-sided  figure,  with  as  many  people  graduating  as 
enter  the  freshman  class.  In  the  college  of  tomorrow,  the 
sides  will  not  yet  have  attained  the  perfect  vertical,  but — as 
a  result  of  improved  placement,  admissions,  and  aca- 
demic practices — they  should  slope  considerably  less  than 
they  do  now. 


yy  hat  will  college 

have  done  for  them? 


IF  your  children  are  like  about  33  per  cent  of  today's 
college  graduates,  they  will  not  end  their  formal  educa- 
tion when  they  get  their  bachelor's  degrees.  On  they'll 
go — to  graduate  school,  to  a  professional  school,  or  to  an 
advanced  technological  institution. 
There  are  good  reasons  for  their  continuing: 

►  In  four  years,  nowadays,  one  can  only  begin  to  scratch 
the  surface  of  the  body  of  knowledge  in  his  specialty.  To 
teach,  or  to  hold  down  a  high-ranking  job  in  industry  or 
government,  graduate  study  is  becoming  more  and  more 
useful  and  necessary. 

►  Automation,  in  addition  to  eliminating  jobs  in  un- 
skilled categories,  will  have  an  increasingly  strong  effect  on 
persons  holding  jobs  in  middle  management  and  middle 
technology.  Competition  for  survival  will  be  intense. 
Many  students  will  decide  that  one  way  of  competing 
advantageously  is  to  take  as  much  formal  education  be- 
yond the  baccalaureate  as  they  can  get. 

►  One  way  in  which  women  can  compete  successfully 
with  men  for  high-level  positions  is  to  be  equipped  with  a 
graduate  degree  when  they  enter  the  job  market. 

►  Students  heading  for  school-teaching  careers  will 
increasingly  be  urged  to  concentrate  on  substantive  studies 
in  their  undergraduate  years  and  to  take  methodology 
courses  in  a  postgraduate  schooling  period.  The  same  will 
be  true  in  many  other  fields. 

►  Shortages  are  developing  in  some  professions,  e.g., 
medicine.  Intensive  efforts  will  be  made  to  woo  more  top 
undergraduates  into  professional  schools,  and  opportuni- 
ties in  short-supplied  professions  will  become  increasingly 
attractive. 

►  "Skills,"  predicts  a  Presidential  committee,  "may  be- 
come obsolete  in  our  fast-moving  industrial  society.  Sound 
education  provides  a  basis  for  adjustment  to  constant  and 
abrupt  change — a  base  on  which  new  skills  may  be  built." 
The  moral  will  not  be  lost  on  tomorrow's  students. 

In  addition  to  having  such  practical  motives,  tomor- 
row's students  will  be  influenced  by  a  growing  tendency 
to  expose  them  to  graduate-level  work  while  they  are  still 
undergraduates.  Independent  study  will  give  them  a  taste 
of  the  intellectual  satisfaction  to  be  derived  from  learning 
on  their  own.  Graduate-style  seminars,  with  their  stimulat- 
ing give-and-take  of  fact  and  opinion,  will  exert  a  strong 


appeal.  As  a  result,  for  able  students  the  distinction  be- 
tween undergraduate  and  graduate  work  will  become 
blurred  and  meaningless.  Instead  of  arbitrary  insistence 
upon  learning  in  two-year  or  four-year  units,  there  will 
be  more  attention  paid  to  the  length  of  time  a  student 
requires — and  desires — to  immerse  himself  in  the  specialty 
that  interests  him. 

A  nd  even  with  graduate  or  professional  study,  educa- 
f-\  tion  is  not  likely  to  end  for  your  children. 
■*■  ■*■  Administrators  in  the  field  of  adult  education — 
or,  more  accurately,  "continuing  education" — expect  that 
within  a  decade  the  number  of  students  under  their  wing 
will  exceed  the  number  of  undergraduates  in  American 
colleges  and  universities.  > 

"Continuing  education,"  says  Paul  A.  McGhee,  dean 
of  New  York  University's  Division  of  General  Education 
(where  annually  some  17,000  persons  enroll  in  around 
1,200  non-credit  courses)  "is  primarily  the  education  of 
the  already  educated."  The  more  education  you  have,  the 
more  you  are  likely  to  want.  Since  more  and  more  people 
will  go  to  college,  it  follows  that  more  and  more  people 
will  seek  knowledge  throughout  their  lives. 

We  are,  say  adult-education  leaders,  departing  from  the 
old  notion  that  one  works  to  live.  In  this  day  of  automa- 
tion and  urbanization,  a  new  concept  is  emerging:  "time," 
not  "work,"  is  the  paramount  factor  in  people's  lives. 
Leisure  takes  on  a  new  meaning:  along  with  golf,  boating, 


and  partying,  it  now  includes  study.  And  he  who  forsakes 
gardening  for  studying  is  less  and  less  likely  to  be  regarded 
as  the  neighborhood  oddball. 

Certain  to  vanish  are  the  last  vestiges  of  the  stigma  that 
has  long  attached  to  "night  school."  Although  the  con- 
cept of  night  school  as  a  place  for  educating  only  the  il- 
literate has  changed,  many  who  have  studied  at  night — 
either  for  credit  or  for  fun  and  intellectual  stimulation — 
have  felt  out  of  step,  somehow.  But  such  views  are 
obsolescent  and  soon  will  be  obsolete. 

Thus  far,  American  colleges  and  universities — with 
notable  exceptions — have  not  led  the  way  in  providing 
continuing  education  for  their  alumni.  Most  alumni  have 
been  forced  to  rely  on  local  boards  of  education  and  other 
civic  and  social  groups  to  provide  lectures,  classes,  discus- 
sion groups.  These  have  been  inadequate,  and  institutions 
of  higher  education  can  be  expected  to  assume  un- 
precedented roles  in  the  continuing-education  field. 

Alumni  and  alumnae  are  certain  to  demand  that  they 
take  such  leadership.  Wrote  Clarence  B.  Randall  in  The 
New  York  Times  Magazine:  "At  institution  after  institu- 
tion there  has  come  into  being  an  organized  and  articulate 
group  of  devoted  graduates  who  earnestly  believe  . . .  that 
the  college  still  has  much  to  offer  them." 

When  colleges  and  universities  respond  on  a  large  scale 
to  the  growing  demand  for  continuing  education,  the 
variety  of  courses  is  likely  to  be  enormous.  Already,  in 
institutions  where  continuing  education  is  an  accepted 
role,  the  range  is  from  space  technology  to  existentialism 
to  funeral  direction.  (When  the  University  of  California 
offered  non-credit  courses  in  the  first-named  subject  to 
engineers  and  physicists,  the  combined  enrollment  reached 
4,643.)  "From  the  world  of  astronauts,  to  the  highest  of 
ivory  towers,  to  six  feet  under,"  is  how  one  wag  has 
described  the  phenomenon. 

Some  other  LIKELY  features  of  your  children,  after 
they  are  graduated  from  tomorrow's  colleges: 
►  They'll  have  considerably  more  political  sophisti- 
cation than  did  the  average  person  who  marched  up  to  get 
a  diploma  in  their  parents'  day.  Political  parties  now  have 
active  student  groups  on  many  campuses  and  publish 
material  beamed  specifically  at  undergraduates.  Student- 
government  organizations  are  developing  sophisticated 
procedures.  Nonpartisan  as  well  as  partisan  groups,  oper- 
ating on  a  national  scale,  are  fanning  student  interest  in 
current  political  affairs. 

►  They'll  have  an  international  orientation  that  many  of 
their  parents  lacked  when  they  left  the  campuses.  The 
presence  of  more  foreign  students  in  their  classes,  the 
emphasis  on  courses  dealing  with  global  affairs,  the  front 
pages  of  their  daily  newspapers  will  all  contribute  to  this 
change.  They  will  find  their  international  outlook  useful: 
a  recent  government  report  predicts  that  "25  years  from 
now,  one  college  graduate  in  four  will  find  at  least  part  of 


his  career  abroad  in  such  places  as  Rio  de  Janeiro,  Dakar, 
Beirut,  Leopoldville,  Sydney,  Melbourne,  or  Toronto." 

►  They'll  have  an  awareness  of  unanswered  questions, 
to  an  extent  that  their  parents  probably  did  not  have. 
Principles  that  once  were  regarded  (and  taught)  as  in- 
controvertible fact  are  now  regarded  (and  taught)  as  sub- 
ject to  constant  alteration,  thanks  to  the  frequent  toppling 
of  long-held  ideas  in  today's  explosive  sciences  and 
technologies.  Says  one  observer:  "My  student  generation, 
if  it  looked  at  the  world,  didn't  know  it  was  'loaded'. 
Today's  student  has  no  such  ignorance." 

►  They'll  possess  a  broad-based  liberal  education,  but 
in  their  jobs  many  of  them  are  likely  to  specialize  more 
narrowly  than  did  their  elders.  "It  is  a  rare  bird  today 
who  knows  all  about  contemporary  physics  and  all  about 
modern  mathematics,"  said  one  of  the  world's  most  dis- 
tinguished scientists  not  long  ago,  "and  if  he  exists,  I 


haven't  found  him.  Because  of  the  rapid  growth  of  science 
it  has  become  impossible  for  one  man  to  master  any  large 
part  of  it;  therefore,  we  have  the  necessity  of  specializa- 
tion." 

►  Your  daughters  are  likely  to  be  impatient  with  the 
prospect  of  devoting  their  lives  solely  to  unskilled  labor  as 
housewives.  Not  only  will  more  of  tomorrow's  women 
graduates  embark  upon  careers  when  they  receive  their 
diplomas,  but  more  of  them  will  keep  up  their  contacts 
with  vocational  interests  even  during  their  period  of  child- 
rearing.  And  even  before  the  children  are  grown,  more  of 
them  will  return  to  the  working  force,  either  as  paid 
employees  or  as  highly  skilled  volunteers. 

DEPENDING  UPON  THEIR  OWN  OUTLOOK,  parents  of 
tomorrow's  graduates  will  find  some  of  the  pros- 
pects good,  some  of  them  deplorable.  In  essence, 
however,  the  likely  trends  of  tomorrow  are  only  continua- 
tions of  trends  that  are  clearly  established  today,  and 
moving  inexorably. 


yy  ho  will  pay— and  how? 


Will  YOU  be  able  to  afford  a  college  education 
for  your  children?  The  tuition?  The  travel  ex- 
pense? The  room  rent?  The  board? 
In  addition: 

Will  you  be  able  to  pay  considerably  more  than  is 
written  on  the  price-tags  for  these  items? 

The  stark  truth  is  that  you — or  somebody — must  pay, 
if  your  children  are  to  go  to  college  and  get  an  education 
as  good  as  the  education  you  received. 

Here  is  where  colleges  and  universities  get  their 
money: 
From  taxes  paid  to  governments  at  all  levels: 
city,  state,  and  federal.  Governments  now  appropriate  an 
estimated  $2.9  billion  in  support  of  higher  education 
every  year.  By  1970  government  support  will  have  grown 
to  roughly  $4  billion. 

From  private  gifts  and  grants.  These  now  provide  nearly 
SI  billion  annually.  By  1970  they  must  provide  about 
$2,019  billion.  Here  is  where  this  money  is  likely  to  come 
from: 

Alumni $   505,000,000(25%) 

Non-alumni  individuals 505,000,000  (25%) 

Business  corporations 505,000,000  (25%) 

Foundations 262,000,000  (13%) 

Religious  denominations 242,000,000  (12%) 

Total  voluntary  support,  1970  .  $2,019,000,000 

From  endowment  earnings.  These  now  provide  around 
$210  million  a  year.  By  1970  endowment  will  produce 
around  $333  million  a  year. 

From  tuition  and  fees.  These  now  provide  around  $1.2 
billion  (about  21  per  cent  of  college  and  university  funds). 
By  1970  they  must  produce  about  $2.1  billion  (about  23.5 
per  cent  of  all  funds). 

From  other  sources.  Miscellaneous  income  now  provides 
around  $410  million  annually.  By  1970  the  figure  is  ex- 
pected to  be  around  $585  million. 

These  estimates,  made  by  the  independent  Council  for 
Financial  Aid  to  Education*,  are  based  on  the  "best 
available"  estimates  of  the  expected  growth  in  enroll- 
ment in  America's  colleges  and  universities:  from  slightly 
less  than  4  million  this  year  to  about  6.4  million  in  the

financial  projections  cited  in  this  section  of  their  report.  CFAE

assumptions  about  the  future. 


academic  year  1969-70.  The  total  income  that  the  colleges 
and  universities  will  require  in  1970  to  handle  this  enroll- 
ment will  be  on  the  order  of  $9  billion — compared  with 
the  $5.6  billion  that  they  received  and  spent  in  1959-60. 

WHO  PAYS? 

virtually  every  source  of  funds^of  course — however 
it  is  labeled — boils  down  to  you.  Some  of  the  money,  you 
pay  directly:  tuition,  fees,  gifts  to  the  colleges  and  univer- 
sities that  you  support.  Other  funds  pass,  in  a  sense, 
through  channels — your  church,  the  several  levels  of 
government  to  which  you  pay  taxes,  the  business  corpora- 
tions with  which  you  deal  or  in  which  you  own  stock. 
But,  in  the  last  analysis,  individual  persons  are  the  source 
of  them  all. 

Hence,  if  you  wished  to  reduce  your  support  of  higher 
education,  you  could  do  so.  Conversely  (as  is  presumably 
the  case  with  most  enlightened  parents  and  with  most  col- 
lege alumni  and  alumnae),  if  you  wished  to  increase  it, 
you  could  do  that,  also — with  your  vote  and  your  check- 
book. As  is  clearly  evident  in  the  figures  above,  it  is  es- 
sential that  you  substantially  increase  both  your  direct 
and  your  indirect  support  of  higher  education  between 
now  and  1970,  if  tomorrow's  colleges  and  universities  are 
to  give  your  children  the  education  that  you  would  wish 
for  them. 

THE  MONEY  YOU'LL  NEED 

since  it  requires  long-range  planning  and  long-range 
voluntary  saving,  for  most  families  the  most  difficult  part 
of  financing  their  children's  education  is  paying  the  direct 
costs:  tuition,  fees,  room,  board,  travel  expenses. 

These  costs  vary  widely  from  institution  to  institution. 
At  government-subsidized  colleges  and  universities,  for 


example,  tuition  fees  for  state  residents  may  be  non- 
existent or  quite  low.  At  community  colleges,  located 
within  commuting  distance  of  their  students'  homes,  room 
and  board  expenses  may  consist  only  of  what  parents  are 
already  paying  for  housing  and  food.  At  independent 
(non-governmental)  colleges  and  universities,  the  costs 
may  be  considerably  higher. 

In  1960-61,  here  is  what  the  average  male  student 
spent  at  the  average  institution  of  higher  education,  in- 
cluding junior  colleges,  in  each  of  the  two  categories 
(public  and  private): 

Public  Private 

Institutions  Institutions 

Tuition $179  $  676 

Board  383  404 

Room 187  216 

Total $749  $1,296 

These,  of  course,  are  "hard-core"  costs  only,  repre- 
senting only  part  of  the  expense.  The  average  annual 
bill  for  an  unmarried  student  is  around  $1,550.  This  con- 
servative figure,  provided  by  the  Survey  Research  Center 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  for  the  U.S.  Office  of  Edu- 
cation, does  not  include  such  items  as  clothing.  And,  as 
we  have  attempted  to  stress  by  italicizing  the  word  "aver- 
age" wherever  it  appears,  the  bill  can  be  considerably 
higher,  as  well  as  somewhat  lower.  At  a  private  college 
for  women  (which  is  likely  to  get  relatively  little  money 
from  other  sources  and  must  therefore  depend  heavily 
upon  tuition  income)  the  hard-core  costs  alone  may  now 
run  as  high  as  $2,600  per  year. 

Every  parent  must  remember  that  costs  will  inevitably 
rise,  not  fall,  in  the  years  ahead.  In  1970,  according  to 
one  estimate,  the  cost  of  four  years  at  the  average  state 
university  will  be  $5,800;  at  the  average  private  college, 
$11,684. 

HOW  TO  AFFORD  IT? 

such  sums  represent  a  healthy  part  of  most  families' 
resources.  Hard-core  costs  alone  equal,  at  public  institu- 
tions, about  13  per  cent  of  the  average  American  family's 
annual  income;  at  private  institutions,  about  23  per  cent 
of  average  annual  income. 

How  do  families  afford  it?  How  can  you  afford  it? 

Here  is  how  the  typical  family  pays  the  current  average 
bill  of  $1,550  per  year: 

Parents  contribute $950 

Scholarships  defray 130 

The  student  earns 360 

Other  sources  yield  110 

Nearly  half  of  all  parents  begin  saving  money  for  their 
children's  college  education  well  before  their  children  are 
ready  to  enroll.  Fourteen  per  cent  report  that  they  borrow 
money  to  help  meet  college  costs.  Some  27  per  cent  take 
on  extra  work,  to  earn  more  money.  One  in  five  mothers 
does  additional  work  in  order  to  help  out. 

Financing  the  education  of  one's  children  is  obviously, 


for  many  families,  a  scramble — a  piecing-together  of 
many  sources  of  funds. 

Is  such  scrambling  necessary?  The  question  can  be 
•answered  only  on  a  family-by-family  basis.  But  these 
generalizations  do  seem  valid: 

►  Many  parents  think  they  are  putting  aside  enough 
money  to  pay  most  of  the  costs  of  sending  their  children 
to  college.  But  most  parents  seriously  underestimate 
what  these  costs  will  be.  The  only  solution:  Keep  posted, 
by  checking  college  costs  periodically.  What  was  true  of 
college  costs  yesterday  (and  even  of  the  figures  in  this 
report,  as  nearly  current  as  they  are)  is  not  necessarily 
true  of  college  costs  today.  It  will  be  even  less  true  of 
college  costs  tomorrow. 

►  If  they  knew  what  college  costs  really  were,  and  what 
they  are  likely  to  be  in  the  years  when  their  children  are 
likely  to  enroll,  many  parents  could  save  enough  money. 
They  would  start  saving  earlier  and  more  persistently. 
They  would  gear  their  family  budgets  to  the  need.  They 
would  revise  their  savings  programs  from  time  to  time, 
as  they  obtained  new  information  about  cost  changes. 

►  Many  parents  count  on  scholarships  to  pay  their  chil- 
dren's way.  For  upper-middle-income  families,  this  reli- 
ance can  be  disastrous.  By  far  the  greatest  number  of 
scholarships  are  now  awarded  on  the  basis  of  financial 
need,  largely  determined  by  level  of  family  income.  (Col- 
leges and  other  scholarship  sources  are  seriously  con- 
cerned about  the  fact,  indicated  by  several  studies,  that 
at  least  100,000  of  the  country's  high-school  graduates 
each  year  are  unable  to  attend  college,  primarily  for 
financial  reasons.)  Upper-middle-income  families  are 
among  those  most  seriously  affected  by  the  sudden  reali- 
zation that  they  have  failed  to  save  enough  for  their 
children's  education. 

►  Loan  programs  make  sense.  Since  going  to  college 
sometimes  costs  as  much  as  buying  a  house  (which  most 
families  finance  through  long-term  borrowing),  long-term 


repayment  of  college  costs,  by  students  or  their  parents, 
strikes  many  people  as  highly  logical. 

Loans  can  be  obtained  from  government  and  from 
private  bankers.  Just  last  spring,  the  most  ambitious 
private  loan  program  yet  developed  was  put  into  opera- 
tion: United  Student  Aid  Funds,  Inc.,  is  the  backer,  with 
headquarters  at  420  Lexington  Avenue,  New  York  17, 
N.Y.  It  is  raising  sufficient  capital  to  underwrite  a  reserve 
fund  to  endorse  $500  million  worth  of  long-term,  low- 
interest  bank  loans  to  students.  Affiliated  state  com- 
mittees, established  by  citizen  groups,  will  act  as  the 
direct  contact  agencies  for  students. 

In  the  1957-58  academic  year,  loans  for  educational 
purposes  totaled  only  $1 15  million.  Last  year  they  totaled 
an  estimated  $430  million.  By  comparison,  scholarships 
from  all  sources  last  year  amounted  to  only  $160  million. 

IS  THE  COST  TOO  HIGH? 

high  as  they  seem,  tuition  rates  are  bargains,  in  this 
sense:  They  do  not  begin  to  pay  the  cost  of  providing  a 
college  education. 

On  the  national  average,  colleges  and  universities  must 
receive  between  three  and  four  additional  dollars  for 
every  one  dollar  that  they  collect  from  students,  in  order 
to  provide  their  services.  At  public  institutions,  the  ratio 
of  non-tuition  money  to  tuition  money  is  greater  than 
the  average:  the  states  typically  spend  more  than  $700 
for  every  student  enrolled. 

Even  the  gross  cost  of  higher  education  is  low,  when 
put  in  perspective.  In  terms  of  America's  total  production 
of  goods  and  services,  the  proportion  of  the  gross  na- 
tional product  spent  for  higher  education  is  only  1.3  per 
cent,  according  to  government  statistics. 

To  put  salaries  and  physical  plant  on  a  sound  footing, 
colleges  must  spend  more  money,  in  relation  to  the  gross 
national  product,  than  they  have  been  spending  in  the 
past.  Before  they  can  spend  it,  they  must  get  it.  From 
what  sources? 


Using  the  current  and  the  1970  figures  that  were  cited 
earlier,  tuition  will  probably  have  to  carry,  on  the  aver- 
age, about  2  per  cent  more  of  the  share  of  total  educa- 
tional costs  than  it  now  carries.  Governmental  support, 
although  increasing  by  about  a  billion  dollars,  will  actu- 
ally carry  about  7  per  cent  less  of  the  total  cost  than  it 
now  does.  Endowment  income's  share  will  remain  about 
the  same  as  at  present.  Revenues  in  the  category  of  "other 
sources"  can  be  expected  to  decline  by  about  .8  per  cent, 
in  terms  of  their  share  of  the  total  load.  Private  gifts  and 
grants — from  alumni,  non-alumni  individuals,  businesses 
and  unions,  philanthropic  foundations,  and  religious  de- 
nominations— must  carry  about  6  per  cent  more  of  the 
total  cost  in  1970,  if  higher  education  is  not  to  founder. 

Alumnae  and  alumni,  to  whom  colleges  and  universi- 
ties must  look  for  an  estimated  25  per  cent  ($505  million) 
of  such  gifts:  please  note. 

CAN  COLLEGES  BE  MORE  EFFICIENT? 

industrial  cost  accountants — and,  not  infrequently, 
other  business  men — sometimes  tear  their  hair  over  the 
"inefficiencies"  they  see  in  higher  education.  Physical 
facilities — classrooms,  for  example — are  in  use  for  only 
part  of  the  24-hour  day,  and  sometimes  they  stand  idle 
for  three  months  in  summertime.  Teachers  "work" — 
i.e.,  actually  stand  in  the  front  of  their  classes — for  only 
a  fraction  of  industry's  40-hour  week.  (The  hours  devoted 
to  preparation  and  research,  without  which  a  teacher 
would  soon  become  a  purveyor  of  dangerously  outdated 
misinformation,  don't  show  on  formal  teaching  schedules 
and  are  thus  sometimes  overlooked  by  persons  making  a 
judgment  in  terms  of  business  efficiency.)  Some  courses 
are  given  for  only  a  handful  of  students.  (What  a  waste 
of  space  and  personnel,  some  cost  analysts  say.) 

A  few  of  these  "inefficiencies"  are  capable  of  being 
curbed,  at  least  partially.  The  use  of  physical  facilities  is 
being  increased  at  some  institutions  through  the  provision 
of  night  lectures  and  lab  courses.  Summer  schools  and 
year-round  schedules  are  raising  the  rate  of  plant  utiliza- 
tion. But  not  all  schools  are  so  situated  that  they  can 
avail  themselves  of  even  these  economies. 

The  president  of  the  Rochester  (N.Y.)  Chamber  of 
Commerce  observed  not  long  ago: 

"The  heart  of  the  matter  is  simply  this:  To  a  great 
extent,  the  very  thing  which  is  often  referred  to  as  the 
'inefficient'  or  'unbusinesslike'  phase  of  a  liberal  arts 
college's  operation  is  really  but  an  accurate  reflection  of 
its  true  essential  nature  .  .  .  [American  business  and 
industry]  have  to  understand  that  much  of  liberal  edu- 
cation which  is  urgently  worth  saving  cannot  be  justified 
on  a  dollars-and-cents  basis." 

In  short,  although  educators  have  as  much  of  an  obli- 
gation as  anyone  else  to  use  money  wisely,  you  just  can't 
run  a  college  like  a  railroad.  Your  children  would  be 
cheated,  if  anybody  tried. 


In  sum: 


When  your  children  go  to  college,  what  will 
college  be  like?  Their  college  will,  in  short,  be 
ready  for  them.  Its  teaching  staff  will  be  compe- 
tent and  complete.  Its  courses  will  be  good  and,  as  you 
would  wish  them  to  be,  demanding  of  the  best  talents 
that  your  children  possess.  Its  physical  facilities  will  sur- 
pass those  you  knew  in  your  college  years.  The  oppor- 
tunities it  will  offer  your  children  will  be  limitless. 
If. 

That  is  the  important  word. 

Between  now  and  1970  (a  date  that  the  editors  arbi- 
trarily selected  for  most  of  their  projections,  although 
the  date  for  your  children  may  come  sooner  or  it  may 
come  later),  much  must  be  done  to  build  the  strength  of 
America's  colleges  and  universities.  For,  between  now 
and  1970,  they  will  be  carrying  an  increasingly  heavy 
load  in  behalf  of  the  nation. 

They  will  need  more  money — considerably  more  than 
is  now  available  to  them — and  they  will  need  to  obtain 
much  of  it  from  you. 


They  will  need,  as  always,  the  understanding  by 
thoughtful  portions  of  the  citizenry  (particularly  their 
own  alumni  and  alumnae)  of  the  subtleties,  the  sensitive- 
ness, the  fine  balances  of  freedom  and  responsibility 
without  which  the  mechanism  of  higher  education  cannot 
function. 

They  will  need,  if  they  are  to  be  of  highest  service  to 
your  children,  the  best  aid  which  you  are  capable  of 
giving  as  a  parent:  the  preparation  of  your  children  to 
value  things  of  the  mind,  to  know  the  joy  of  meeting  and 
overcoming  obstacles,  and  to  develop  their  own  personal 
independence. 

Your  children  are  members  of  the  most  promising 
American  generation.  (Every  new  generation,  properly, 
is  so  regarded.)  To  help  them  realize  their  promise  is  a 
job  to  which  the  colleges  and  universities  are  dedicated. 
It  is  their  supreme  function.  It  is  the  job  to  which  you,  as 
parent,  are  also  dedicated.  It  is  your  supreme  function. 

With  your  efforts  and  the  efforts  of  the  college  of  to- 
morrow, your  children's  future  can  be  brilliant.  If.

S.U.  Alumni  Association  on  Janu- 
ary 13  at  the  Hotel  Harrisburger 
in  Harrisburg  with  the  Executive 
Board  and  five  standing  commit- 
tees holding  meetings  and  66  per-

In  all,  more  than  70  persons  par- 
ticipated.

speaker  at  the  luncheon  and  AA 
President  Charles  E.  Chaffee  pre- 
sided over  the  general  business 
session.

been  received  in  advanced  gifts. 
Follow-up  for  advance  gifts  was 
under  way  in  hopes  of  nudging 
$20,000  in'  this  phase  by  March  1. 
Area  captains  were  on  hand,  too,

during  the  latter  half  of  March. 

Club  Activities:  Chairman  Rip 
Carman  30,  who  held  a  meeting 
with  his  committee  and  seven  club 
presidents,  said  that  the  group  had 
discussed  additions  to  be  made  to 
"Suggestions  for  Club  Officers"  and 
that  these  were  to  be  mailed  to  all 
district  officers.  The  committee 
urged  all  clubs  to  consider  inviting 
faculty  members  as  speakers  on 
subjects  within  their  various  spe- 
cialties.

SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


LOOKING  BACK: 

Dr.  G.  Morris  Smith 


by    RUSSELL   W.    GILBERT 

Dr.  Russell  W.  Gilbert,  holder  of  de- 
grees from  Muhlenberg  College  and  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  is  professor 
of  German  at   Susquehanna. 


In  order  to  evaluate  objectively  the  work  of  Dr.  G. 
Morris  Smith  as  president  of  Susquehanna  University 
for  thirty-one  years,  we  must  weigh  it  on  the  scales  of 
time,  circumstance,  and  purpose. 

Dr.  Smith  came  to  the  presidency  of  Susquehanna 
at  a  critical  time  in  the  history  of  our  college  and  our 
country.  The  college  faced  the  impelling  need  of  rec- 
ognition by  various  accrediting  bodies;  the  country 
faced  a  depression.  We  who  then  taught  here  know 
only  too  well  that  it  is  not  easy  to  raise  academic  stand- 
ards and  to  build  during  days  of  economic  hardship. 
President  Smith  revealed  an  early  goal  in  his  first  ap- 
peal to  the  Board  of  Directors  to  aid  Susquehanna: 

"Give  her  of  your  highest  vision.  Give  her  your 
prayers.  Give  her  of  your  means.  She  cannot  do  her 
work  without  adequate  support.  Let  our  slogan  be 
quality  before  quantity.  And  if  we  so  operate  Susque- 
hanna, I  am  confident  the  day  will  come  when  she  will 
take  her  rightful  place  among  the  highest  and  the  best, 
and  the  men  and  women  of  tomorrow  will  rise  up  and 
bless  you." 

Accreditation  came  early.  In  1930  Susquehanna 
won  recognition  from  the  Association  of  Colleges  and 
Secondary  Schools  of  the  Middle  States  and  Maryland; 
in  1931  she  became  a  member  of  the  Association  of 
American  Colleges  and  in  1937  of  the  American  Coun- 
cil on  Education.  In  1939  the  Pennsylvania  State  Coun- 
cil of  Education  accredited  Susquehanna  for  the  train- 
ing of  music  supervisors.  Three  times  during  his  tenure 
President  Smith's  administration  was  examined  and 
affirmed  by  the  regional  rating  association,  first  when 
he  obtained  accreditation,  and  then  again  in  1942  and 
1954— every  twelve  years. 

Early,  Dr.  Smith  had  set  a  goal:  a  good  under- 
graduate liberal  arts  college  with  a  maximum  of  five 
hundred  students.  In  1929  the  total  enrollment  con- 
tinued to  exceed  1,200  as  it  had  done  the  previous  year, 
with  students  in  the  seminary,  the  liberal  arts,  the  con- 
servatory of  music,  the  extension  school,  and  the  sum- 
mer session.  A  count  of  the  financial  resources  dictated 
a  concentration  of  effort  on  the  liberal  arts.  Dr.  Smith 
was  told  by  the  accrediting  commission  in  1930  that 
"the  Theological  Seminary  is  a  serious  drain  on  our 
financial  resources."    The  seminarv  and  the  extension

school  soon  were  discontinued.  President  Smith  had 
the  courage  to  act  even  though  he  knew  that  the  action 
would  hardly  lead  to  popularity. 

Physical  memorials  to  the  strong  exponent  of  the 
liberal  aits  who  often  quoted  Latin  authors  and  Words- 
worth meet  our  eyes  daily  in  Pine  Lawn,  the  new- 
Alumni  Gymnasium  (fire  destroyed  the  old  one  in 
1934),  Bogar  Hall  with  its  Benjamin  Apple  Theatre, 
Heilman  Music  Hall,  and  the  addition  to  the  Library. 
Dr.  Smith  believed  strongly,  however,  that  the  college 
endowment  had  to  increase  proportionately  with  the 


MARCH     1962 


value  of  the  new  buildings.  Because  he  wanted  to  build 
a  firm  foundation  for  the  faculty  in  their  later  years. 
the  retirement  plan  of  the  Teachers  Insurance  and  An- 
nuity Association  of  America  was  adopted  in  1937. 

Susquehanna  University  Studies,  a  journal  lor  fac- 
ulty research  articles  which  began  in  1936,  the  Susque- 
hanna University  Press  which  was  established  in  1944, 
and  the  annual  Shakespearean  Festival  which  had  its 
start  in  the  spring  of  1950  are  some  of  the  present  cul- 
tural monuments  to  President  Smith  and  to  those  who 
suggested  and  carried  out  the  ideas. 

All  this,  and  more,  was  accomplished  during  the 
Smith  administration.  The  Ford  Foundation  gift  of 
$125,000  by  1957  was  a  great  boost  to  us  all.  As  Dr. 
Smith  looked  back  upon  his  many  years  of  service  here, 
he  must  have  felt  grateful  for  his  opportunity  to  guide 
an  institution  of  Christian  higher  education  and  for 
having  two  fine  deans  in  Dr.  George  F.  Dunkelberger 
and  Dr.  Russell  Gait;  grateful  too  for  a  faithful  and 
sacrificial  faculty.  President  Gustave  W.  Weber  re- 
cently stated  publicly  that  he  was  in  a  good  position  to 
add  buildings  and  other  improvements  on  the  campus 
because  of  the  fine  financial  picture  G.  Morris  had  left 
him. 

And  now  the  man  himself.  Essentially  an  outdoors 
man,  he  liked  hunting,  fishing,  and  baseball.  It  was 
more  than  nostalgia  that  caused  him  to  return  whenever 


he  could  to  his  boyhood  haunts  in  Virginia.  One  can 
never  forget  the  expression  of  boyish  delight— or  sur- 
prise—when he  caught  a  hotliner  right  over  third  base, 
a  play  which  helped  the  faculty  to  defeat  the  students 
in  a  softball  game.  He  enjoyed  telling  a  "gentlemanly 
anecdote,"  especially  about  humorous  experiences  at 
Susquehanna. 

It  is  fitting  to  add  to  this  tribute  by  quoting  from 
Dr.  Arthur  II.  Wilson,  who  departed  this  life  in  the 
same  academic  year: 

.  .  .  one  of  the  strongest  character  traits  of  the 
president  was  his  sustaining  spirit  of  eternal  optimism. 
He  could  not  abide  anything  that  was  negative,  either 
in  his  own  thinking  or  in  that  of  anyone  else.  He  look- 
ed upon  life  as  a  challenge  to  be  up  and  doing,  and  if 
you  had  a  tendency  to  regard  that  challenge  negative- 
ly, the  president  had  a  feeling  that  your  spirit  was  not 
right. 

"He  was  an  excellent  pulpit  man,  undoubtedly 
one  of  the  finest  preachers  in  the  Lutheran  church.  It 
was  his  happy  faculty  to  have  a  genuine  apprecia- 
tion of  the  beauties  of  language,  and  he  put  this  faculty 
to  good  use  in  his  sermons." 

To  President  Smith  the  three  great  factors  of  in- 
fluence in  life  were  parentage,  friendship,  and  educa- 
tion. All  these  had  to  be  undergirded  with  religious 
faith.   "Apart  from  Me,  ye  can  do  nothing."

JULY   1962 


Dear  Vernon 


and  Clyde  and  Larry  and  Rip  and  all  the  rest  of  you  who  got  behind 
Susquehanna's  renewed  Loyalty  Fund  efforts  a  few  years  ago— knowing  that  the 
job  could  be  done  and  leading  the  way  toward  doing  it: 

We've  come  a  long  way  in  just  these  few  short  years.  If  you'll  recall,  the 
'59  Fund  (in  actual  alumni  giving  to  the  Fund  only)  totaled  a  few  thousand 
dollars  from  about  185  givers  (5.7  percent  of  our  alumni  body).  The  following 
year  alumni  contributions  to  the  Fund  reached  nearly  812,000  from  more  than 
500  givers,  or  13.9  percent  of  potential.  Remember  that  first  meeting  of  the 
committee  for  '61— and  the  courageous  motion  to  set  a  goal  of  $25,000?  What 
happened  is  now  past  history— 808  alumni,  or  21.2  percent  of  the  total,  gave 
$26,155.  And,  in  the  same  period  of  two  years,  our  average  gift  grew  from 
814.74  to  832.37  and  total  alumni  support  of  Susquehanna  through  all  channels 
increased  from  813,254  to  859,159! 

All  of  you  had  important  roles  in  this  performance,  and  that's  why  it  gives 
me  such  pleasure  to  tell  you  that  Susquehanna  has  just  received  an  Honorable 
Mention  in  the  Alumni  Giving  Incentive  Awards  for  1962.  These  awards  are 
sponsored  by  American  business  and  industry,  financed  by  the  U.  S.  Steel 
Foundation,  and  administered  by  the  American  Alumni  Council.  Ours  was 
given  for  Improvement  in  the  Small  Coeducational  Colleges  category;  it  involves 
a  certificate— and  $150  in  cash  toward  the  1962  Fund. 

We  haven't  won  a  First  Place  yet,  but  we're  still  growing.  Incidentally, 
such  winners  in  each  of  nine  categories  win  cash  awards  of  81000  and 
Grand  Award  winners— one  for  Improvement,  the  other  for  Sustained  Perform- 
ance—can receive  as  much  as  85000  in  prizes. 

This  is  just  another  reason  for  everyone  who's  interested  in  S.  V.  to  make 
sure  his  annual  gift  reaches  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  The  latest  information 
at  press  time  shows  that  we've  almost  (within  $50)  received  $30,000  toward  the 
1962  goal  of  $35,000— and  1000  alumni  have  contributed! 

I  surely  hope  the  others  are  reading  this  letter,  too.  and  will  decide  very 
soon  to  help  reach  the  goal.    By  the  way,  hearty  congratulations  on  the  Award!

ON    OUR    COVER 

Easily  one  of  the  most  popular  faculty 
members  on  Susquehanna's  summer 
Music  Institute  staff  was  Marilyn  Mason, 
internationally  known  organist  and 
teacher  at  the  University  of  Michigan. 
Here,  seated  on  the  organ  bench  in  Heil- 
man  Hall,  she  is  going  over  a  score  with 
a  group  of  the  Institute  participants.  Sec- 
ond from  the  right  is  Lloyd  Wolf,  S.  U. 
grad  of  1962. 

Miss  Mason,  besides  teaching  classes, 
also  gave  private  lessons  and  presented  a 
public  recital  in  Seibert  Hall  during  the 
week-long  Institute. 

Director  of  the  venture  was  Dr.  Ifor 
Jones,  conductor  of  the  famous  Bach 
Choir  Festivals  held  annually  at  Bethle-

president,  Dr.  Charles  E.  Chaffee  '27. 

Donald  Wissinger,  alumni  director,  introduced 
reunion  classes  from  1957  to  1912,  and  a  number  of  50- 
year-and-over  graduates  were  presented  with  roses  and

sented the  class  gift:  four  clocks  for  the  library  tower, 
and  the  brick  entry  to  Gustavus  Adolphus  walk,  to 
President  Weber.  Dr.  Weber  spoke  briefly,  lauding

MY  SUMMER  AT  THE  ACADEMY 


by    RUTH    OSBORN    '54 

Miss  Osborn,  who  this  year  will  be 
teaching  language  arts  in  May's 
Landing,  N.  J.,  spent  the  summer  of 
1961  as  a  Fulbright  Scholar  in  the 
classics  in  Rome  and  Naples.  A  form- 
er editor  of  The  Susquehanna  and 
president  of  the  S.  U.  Women's  Stu- 
dent Council,  she  also  has  taught  in 
Jersey  Shore,  Pa.  and  Absecon,  N.  J. 
At  home  in  Northumberland,  Pa.,  she 
has  been  active  in  Trinity  Evangelical 
United  Brethren  Church,  serving  as 
assistant  organist  and  a  Sunday  school 
teacher. 


Summer,  1961,  actually  was  initiated  in  Septem- 
ber of  the  preceding  year  when  I  made  my  first  appli- 
cation to  the  Department  of  Health,  Education,  and 
Welfare  and  the  Department  of  State  for  a  Fulbright 
grant  for  study  at  the  American  Academy  of  Classical 
Studies  in  Rome  and  the  Cumae  School  of  the  Vergilian 
Society,  near  Naples.  Six  months,  seventeen  applica- 
tion forms,  five  series  of  shots,  one  personal  interview 
by  a  team  of  educators  and  psychologists  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  and  one  complete  physical 
exam  later,  I  received  notification  of  my  acceptance 
as  a  Fulbright  grantee  in  early  March. 

Sailing  day  was  June  23,  1961— scheduled  for  the 
Constitution  of  the  American  Export  Lines.  We'd  had 
two  weeks  of  preparation  from  the  time  school  was 
out  (I'd  been  teaching  Latin  at  the  Jersey  Shore  Area 
Senior  High  School,  Jersey  Shore,  Pennsylvania)  and 
needed  every  minute  of  the  time  to  settle  last-minute 
problems,  mostly  studying.  We  were  given  a  re- 
quired reading  list  of  eleven  books— some  of  Roman 
history;  others  of  Latin  literature,  summary  of  authors 
and  works;  the  major  portion  of  Latin  prose  and  poetry 
in  the  original. 

On  June  15  the  maritime  strike  in  New  York's  har- 
bor tied  up  all  shipping  for  both  freight  and  passen- 
gers. With  this  knowledge  we  headed,  as  requested, 
for  NYC  and  the  meeting  with  the  Fulbright  Commis- 
sion representative  on  June  22  at  the  Hotel  New 
Yorker.  We  felt  certain  the  State  Department  would 
"come  through"  somehow  but  when  they  finally  did,

JULY    1962 


The    American    Academy    of    Classical    Studies    in 
Rome,    Ruth   Osborn's   headquarters    last    summer. 


the  result  was  met  with  mixed  emotions.  I  enjoy  fly- 
ing and  was  pleased  that  we  were  to  fly  to  Rome  on 
Monday,  June  26  just  before  midnight  from  Idlewild 
on  Alitalia's  new  Super  DC-8  jet.  Since  we  had  a  week- 
end to  kill,  I  spent  a  day  in  the  big  city  ( Macy's  and 
Fiorello!)  and  the  next  two  days  in  Absecon,  New 
Jersey  (six  miles  inland  from  Atlantic  City)  with 
friends. 

Most  of  my  fellow  students— we  were  from  all 
parts  of  the  U.  S.— were  from  the  Far  or  Mid-West  and 
were  "stuck"  in  NYC  for  the  weekend.  All  were  teach- 
ers, past  or  present,  and  students— pre-and  post-doctor- 
ate.   Those  of  us  who  were  studying  as  teachers  were 


from  public  high  schools,  private  schools,  colleges, 
and  parochial  schools— four  Roman  Catholic  priests 
and  two  nuns. 

June  26  was  cool  and  rainy— miserable  weather 
for  a  ten-hour  jet  flight  with  a  one-hour  stopover  in 
London  to  see  if  the  plane's  motor  was  functioning  well 
enough  to  get  us  across  the  continent,  over  the  Alps, 
and  clown  into  Italy.  Just  before  midnight  after  a 
three-hour  wait  in  the  Alitalia  terminal  at  Idlewild 
(such  a  wait  is  customary  when  a  flight  is  leaving  the 
country)  and  after  I  was  finally  able  to  re-pack  my 
luggage  until  it  was  two  pounds  under  the  allowed 
sixty  pounds,  we  were  herded  through  triple  check 
points  in  driving  rain  to  the  huge  plane.  The  take-off 
was  a  little  frightening  because  we  couldn't  see  a 
thing  and  we  figured  that  maybe  the  pilot  couldn't  do 
much  better!  After  a  few  minutes  we  were  above  the 
bad  weather,  the  night  was  beautiful— after  all  we  were 
seven  miles  closer  to  the  stars— and  we  were  being  fed 
the  first  of  our  numerous  sizable  meals  featuring  the 
best  and  choicest  in  Italian  fare.  These  airlines  seem 
to  have  it  figured  out  that  the  best  way  to  keep  the 
majority  happy  is  to  keep  them  well-fed.  We  ate 
just  about  every  two  hours. 

It's  an  odd  but  breathtaking  sight  to  watch  the 
sun  rise  at  1:30  a.  m.— height,  speed,  and  time  changes 
do  funny  things.  We  were  awakened  at  5:30  a.  m. 
for  breakfast  with  instructions  that  we  were  forty-five 
minutes  out  of  London  and  that  during  our  hour  stay 
in  the  terminal  there,  we  would  be  given  tea  ( or  coffee, 
if  we  preferred— I  preferred),  compliments  of  ROAC. 

The  London  weather  was  typically  London,  but 
the  clouds  lifted  enough  for  us  to  see  the  Thames  with 
the  Tower  Rridge,  the  Houses  of  Parliament,  and 
Buckingham  Palace  as  we  flew  over  the  city  to  the 
airport.  After  our  hour  as  guests  of  the  London  air- 
port authorities,  we  found  that  Jimmy  Stewart  and  his 
family  would  be  our  fellow  passengers  on  the  last 
three  hours  of  our  flight  to  Rome. 

We  had  lunch  between  Paris  and  Geneva  and 
shortly  afterward  we  could  see  the  coastline  of  Italy 
below  us.  Exactly  nine  and  three-fourths  hours  out 
of  New  York  we  were  cutting  over  the  center  of  the 
city— the  ruins  of  the  Palatine  to  the  right,  the  Roman 
Forum  just  beneath  us,  and  the  Colosseum  straight 
ahead. 

The  temperature  was  102°  (it  had  been  62°  in 
London)  at  Leonardo  da  Vinci  field  at  Fiumacino, 
twelve  miles  outside  Rome.  We  claimed  our  baggage 
after  some  problems  conveying  ideas  half  in  Italian, 
half  in  English— feeling  extremely  inferior  with  our 
unpolished  accents.  The  director  of  the  Academy,  Dr. 
Smith  Palmer  Bovie,  met  us  and  explained  the  land- 
scape hurriedlv  as  we  drove  into  the  city  to  our  pen- 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


sione  ( boarding  house )  in  the  center  of  the  city  on 
the  Via  Nazionale. 

Classes  started  on  July  3— this  meant  that  we  had 
nearly  a  week  in  Rome  before  school  opened,  enough 
time  to  "get  the  lay  of  the  land."  We  reached  Rome 
during  the  season's  first  heat  wave  which  in  Italy  gets 
a  bit  hard  to  take.  Hence,  our  journeys  to  spots  of 
interest  that  "free"  week  took  us  to  not  only  the  var- 
ious Roman  ruins— our  first  interest,  but  a  hot  one,  con- 
sidering the  heat— but  also  to  the  Lido,  Rome's  beach 
area  at  Ostia,  noted  for  its  volcanic  black  sand  and 
warm  Mediterranean  water.  To  find  the  only  breeze 
in  the  entire  city  we  climbed  to  the  top  of  the  Victor 
Emmanuel  II  monument— the  tomb  of  the  Italian  Un- 
known Soldier,  considered  by  some  to  be  the  most 
beautiful  building  in  Rome  and  by  others,  a  monstros- 
ity, a  waste  of  time,  space  and  money. 

June  29  marks  the  feast  day  of  Saints  Peter  and 
Paul,  the  most  important  religious  day  in  Rome.  Along 
with  the  faithful  of  the  city,  we  headed  for  Vatican 
City  at  7:00  a.  m.  for  the  9:00  a.  m.  mass  at  St.  Peter's. 
Only  the  ecclesiastical  dignitaries  had  seats— the  rest  of 
us,  some  33,000  plus— stood  during  the  procession  of 
carabiniere  and  Swiss  guards,  the  procession  of  cardin- 
als, and  finally  the  entrance  of  Pope  John  XXIII  who 
was  to  say  mass.  During  the  mass  we  stood— quite  an 
international  affair  with  an  Italian  couple  behind  me, 
a  German  in  front,  and  an  American  and  French  wom- 
an on  either  side.  Following  mass  the  Pope  read  the 
official  proclamation  in  rapid  Italian  and  was  carried 
out  in  his  official  chair  amid  shouts,  "viva  la  Papa,"  and 
a  near  riot  as  well-wishers  swarmed  to  touch  him  as 
he  passed.  In  this  resulting  stampede  it  was  all  we 
could  do  to  keep  our  feet. 

One  other  fortunate  aspect  of  the  early  arrival 
was  that  the  opera  season   (in  the  opera  house— sum-

mer  opera,  complete  with  "summer  stock,"  can  be 
heard  all  summer  in  the  ruins  of  the  Paths  of  Cara- 
calla )  was  in  its  last  week  and  we  were  able  to  get  seats 
in  the  top  balcony  for  Puccini's  La  Boheme.  Italians 
feel  more  strongly  about  opera  than  the  average  Amer- 
ican feels  about  baseball— still,  we  were  more  than 
amazed  to  hear  them  vehemently  boo  the  stars  or 
applaud  them  as  they  felt  the  situation  warranted.  We 
finally  walked  our  weary  way  up  the  Nazionale  to  our 
pensione  at  2:00  a.  m.— because  of  the  afternoon  siestas, 
the  evenings  begin  late  and  extend  well  into  the  early 
hours  of  the  next  day.  Throughout  the  summer  we 
attended  other  operas—  Aida  and  Madam  Butterfly— 
but  these  at  Caracalla.  In  the  ruins  of  the  Rasilica  of 
Maxentius,  the  Academy  of  Santa  Cecilia  entertained 
us  one  evening  with  a  symphony  concert. 

A  typical  school  day  schedule:  breakfast  at  7:00 
a.  m.  which  always  included  Americanized  Italian 
coffee  ( diluted  lye  water  with  the  apparent  strength 
to  dissolve  gall  stones  and  create  instant  stomach  ul- 
cers )  and  hard  rolls  with  jelly  ( impossible  to  decipher 
just  what  flavor).  On  Sundays  and  holidays  (church 
feast  days  and  others )  our  waitress  would  greet  us 
with  "Oggi  festa"— today's  a  holiday— and  substitute 
Italian  bread  for  the  rolls. 

Eight  o'clock  would  find  us  taking  a  bus  to  the 
site  of  the  morning's  lecture— either  in  the  area  of  some 
ruin  or  one  of  the  many  world-famous  museums  where 
we  listened  to  Dr.  Rovie  of  Indiana  University,  our  di- 
rector, and  various  guest  professors— Dr.  Rroughton  of 
Bryn  Mawr,  Dr.  Volenboro,  retired,  of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, and  Dr.  Frank  Brown  of  Yale,  to  mention  only 
a  few. 

The  Academy  bus  always  picked  us  up  at  the  site 
of  the  morning's  activities  and  took  us  to  the  villa  of 
the  American  Academy,  situated  on  the  Gaenicolo 
( Janiculum )  Hill  near  the  Porta  San  Pancrazio,  for 
lunch.  These  lunches  were  the  feature  attraction  of 
food  for  the  day,  apparently  designed  for  pre-siesta  use; 
certainly  not  as  pre-lecture  fare.  A  few  "for  instances" 
—Prosciutto  cum  fighi  (Italian  ham  and  figs),  viteilo 
con  riso  e  funghi  (veal  with  rice  and  mushrooms), 
vitcllo  alia  Bologncse  (veal  prepared  Bologna  style— 
ricotta  cheese  with  tomato  paste),  polio  al  burro  (but- 
tered chicken),  polio  alia  cacciatora. 

With  each  of  these  "main  courses"  there  was  al- 
ways a  first  course  of  soup  (usually  minestra)  or  a 
broth  (prepared  from  beef,  chicken,  or  fish)— or  all 
three  and/or  a  pasta  (pasta  al  forno),  baked  macaroni; 
gnocchi,  dumplings;  spaghetini  con  spinaci,  thin  spa- 
ghetti with  spinach— a  bilious  green;  lasagne  imbottite. 
stuffed  wide  noodles— served  only  on  very  special  oc- 
casions ) .  With  the  primary  course  and  after  the  above 
stomach-full:  lettuce  with  oil  and  a  vegetable— baked 
eggplant,  sliced  tomatoes,  tomatoes  filled  with  mozz- 


JULY    1962 


arella  cheese  and  tuna,  and  zucchini  (Italian  squash) 
were  common. 

With  such  a  meal  only  fruit  and  coffee  were  usually 
served  for  dessert,  although  iiclati  ( ice  cream )  or  Ital- 
ian pastries  turned  up  on  occasion.  The  fruit  was  al- 
ways accompanied  by  a  small  bowl  of  water— the  per- 
son being  served  was  expected  to  scrub  each  piece  he 
ate  with  the  supplied  water,  the  bacterial  content  of 
which  was  questionable. 

After  this  meal— two  hours  were  allowed  for  it— 
we  spent  two  hours  in  the  lecture  room,  studying  some 
particular  phase  of  prose  or  poetry  with  its  bearing 
on  the  site  we  had  studied  on  location  during  the 
morning.  The  remainder  of  the  day  was  ours  al- 
though we  never  seemed  to  have  enough  time  for 
everything  we  wanted  to  do. 

Fridays  were  always  special  days.  We  traveled 
outside  of  the  city  to  important  Etruscan  sites  north  of 
Rome  for  the  entire  day  or  to  the  Alban  hills.  We  took 
our  lunches  along  at  these  times— Italian  bread  which 
we  cut  to  size  on  location;  cheese,  salami,  and  fish  for 
sandwich  filler;  and  fruit  ( figs,  melons,  peaches, 
plums). 

Our  weekends  were  free.  We  were  urged  to 
travel,  especially  on  one  particularly  elongated  week- 
end. Three  of  my  weekends  I  used  for  travel— I  flew 
to  Sicily  (Taormina  near  Mt.  Etna  erupting  while  we 
were  there,  and  the  site  of  the  famous  Greek  theater) 
and  returned  to  Florence  which  I  had  enjoyed  thor- 
oughly in  1960  when  I  was  first  in  Italy. 

Several  of  our  number  flew  to  Greece  for  our  long 
weekend— a  day's  excursion  to  the  ruins  and  museum 
at  Delphi;  two  days  in  Athens,  ancient  and  modern; 
and  a  days  cruise  to  Aegina,  Poros.  and  Hydra.  We 
shall  never  forget  the  Sound  and  Light  spectacle  on  the 
Acropolis— a  capsule  history  of  Athens  given  in  English 
amid  appropriate  lighting  and  sound  effects  while  a 
full  moon  arose  in  the  background  over  the  hills  sur- 
rounding the  city. 

During  our  stay  in  Rome  there  were  many  mem- 
orable incidents— the  city-wide  strike  of  July  25,  for  in- 
stance. In  the  U.  S.  strikes  usually  come  about  as  a  bid 
for  higher  wages  or  similar  considerations.  In  Italy  a 
transportation  strike,  completely  unsuspected  as  was 
this  one,  resulted  because  the  bus  operators  wanted  a 
day  off.  Everything  was  back  to  its  usual  off-schedule 
self  the  following  day;  but  only  after  every  farmer  in 
the  rural  areas  around  the  city  brought  his  cattle 
truck  into  Rome  and  plied  his  smelly  (apparently  un- 
scrubbed  )  vehicles  along  any  and  all  of  the  bus  routes. 
The  Academy  is  a  forty-minute  ride  from  the  pensione 
—we  took  cattle  truck  #75  home  for  100  lire  (six- 
teen cents)  and  immediately  took  a  bath,  of  necessity. 

While  at  Naples  we  were  able  to  live  at  the  Hotel 
Majestic  which  had  a  roof-top  dining  room  offering  a 


view  of  the  entire  Bay  of  Naples  and  which  was  a 
block's  walk  from  the  harbor  and  fish  markets.  From 
our  base  at  Cumae,  near  Naples,  numerous  field  trips 
originated— several  days  in  the  incomparable  ruins  at 
Herculaneum,  Stabiae,  and  Pompeii;  an  excursion  (a 
bit  nerve-wraeking  in  spite  of  the  fact  we  were  told 
the  trip  was  safe)  down  inside  dormant  Vesuvius;  and 
cruises  to  Ischia  and  Capri.  At  these  times  we  were 
privileged  to  watch  Dr.  Amadeo  Maiuri,  Italy's  fore- 
most archaeologist,  and  Pellegrino  Sestieri,  southern 
Italy's  archaeological  genius,  at  work.  Raymond  V. 
Schoder,  S.  J.  of  St.  Louis  University,  was  the  director 
of  the  Cumae  School. 

The  library  of  the  American  Academy  is  said  to  be 
the  most  complete  classical  library  in  the  world.  This 
is  readily  believed  when  one  sees  the  scholars  and 
fellows  from  France,  England,  Germany,  Japan  and 
India  studying  or  gleaning  research  materials  there, 
if  only  for  a  few  days.  The  privilege  of  receiving  lec- 
tures from  some  of  the  most  outstanding  classical 
minds  from  the  United  States,  England,  and  Italy 
was  incomparable. 

Before  we  left  Rome  the  Academy  was  granted  a 
private  audience  with  Pope  John  XXIII  at  Castel- 
gandolfo.  The  Pope  spoke  through  an  interpreter  be- 
cause he  was  afraid  his  English  was  not  quite  good 
enough,  and  gave  each  of  us  the  papal  blessing. 

It  would  be  impossible  to  conclude  without  men- 
tioning a  phenomenon  of  Italian  weather  which  no  one 
could  explain.  From  the  day  we  landed  at  Fiumacino 
until  August  15  scarcely  a  drop  of  rain  fell— every  day 
was  hot  and  sunny.  The  natives  told  us  that  promptly 
on  August  15  the  weather  would  become  cooler  and 
rain  would  finally  fall,  and  so  it  did!  The  August  holi- 
days, called  the  Ferragosto,  begin  about  that  date.  For 
us  it  marked  a  seasick-belabored  journey  across  the  Bay 
of  Naples  to  Ischia.  Mai  de  mer  was  rampant  ( the  worst 
storm  of  the  season )  on  the  Bay  because  of  the  violent 
change  in  the  temperature  and  the  pouring  rain. 

Friday,  August  25,  was  sailing  day  from  Naples 
aboard  the  American  Export  Lines'  Independence.  The 
four-day  cruise  through  the  Mediterranean  stopping  at 
Genoa,  Cannes,  and  Gibraltar's  port  Algeciras,  Spain 
was  everything  a  sunlane  cruise  should  be.  Once  in 
the  Atlantic  the  tail-end  of  the  season's  first  hurricane 
showed  us  how  tough  the  water  could  get— and  this 
display  of  violence  accompanied  by  rain,  fog,  and  a 
violently  rolling   ship   continued   for   five   days. 

We  landed  in  New  York  on  September  4  — 
Labor  Day— at  7:15  a.  m.  It  had  taken  almost  five 
hours  to  bring  the  ship  into  port  from  the  open  sea  be- 
cause of  heavy  fog.  After  three  hours  we  got  through 
customs,  immigration,  and  passport  control  and  put 
our  feet  on  much-welcomed  land  again.

Susquehanna  Given 
AAUW  Approval 

Susquehanna  University  at  Se- 
linsgrove  was  notified  in  June 
that  the  104-year-old,  coeducational 
liberal  arts  college  has  been  placed 
on  the  list  of  institutions  approved 
for  membership-eligibility  in  the 
American  Association  of  University 
Women. 

In  a  letter  addressed  to  Sus- 
quehanna's President  Gustave  W. 
Weber  the  AAUW  president,  Dr. 
Anna  L.  Hawkes,  said  that  all 
women  graduates  of  Susquehanna, 
past  or  future,  are  now  eligible  for 
membership  in  the  association. 
Some  500  of  the  nation's  2300  col- 
leges and  universities  enjoy  AAUW 
approval. 

A  pioneer  in  coeducation,  Sus- 
quehanna first  admitted  women  to 
its  classes  in  1873.  In  September, 
the  university's  enrollment  is  ex- 
pected to  total  925— about  60  per- 
cent men  and  40  percent  women. 
The  current  expansion  program 
prompted  Susquehanna  officials  to 
apply  for  AAUW  listing.

This  new  addition  to  S.  U.'s  Alumni  Gymnasium  provides  two  large  rooms  for  wrestling 
and  general  physical  education  purposes,  while  at  the  same  time  eliminating  the  un- 
sightly, yellow  tile  north  wall  which  formerly  greeted  the  visitor  who  entered  the  main 
gate.  The  enlarged  gym  will  serve  Susquehanna's  growing  student  population  until 
sufficient  gifts  have  accumulated  to  begin  construction  of  a  new  field  house  2nd 
swimming  pool.

ON    OUR   COVER 

Don  Wissinger  '50  and  John  Hendricks 
'57  go  over  a  recent  copy  of  Susque- 
hanna Alumnus  as  Don  turns  over  to 
John  the  office  of  Director  of  Alumni  Re- 
lations.    See  story,  page  4. 

You'll  find  this  issue  of  your  magazine 
somewhat  "tighter"  than  you're  used  to, 
and  you'll  not  be  getting  it  before  Home- 
coming. The  changeover  in  the  Alumni 
Office,  the  pressure  of  other  projects  for 
Susquehanna,  and  the  earlier  date  of 
Homecoming  have  all  combined  to  put 
us  in  a  tighter  squeeze  than  usual.  But 
bigger  and  better  issues  are  just  around 
the  corner. 

By  the  way,  be  sure  to  see  the  message 
and  questionnaire  on  page  15.  It's  im- 
portant.

THE  TRIAL 

AND  TIME  of  His  Life 

byLYNNE  0.    RAMER   '23,  Sem. '26 


In  the  old  auditorium  in  Seibert  Hall— as  it  was  in 
the  Twenties— many  concerts,  lectures,  recitals,  and 
programs  by  Ladies'  Choral  Clubs,  Men's  Glee  Clubs, 
and  Orchestras  were  held,  but  few  had  the  drama  of  a 
"mock  court  trial"  of  a  snow-white  haired  gentleman— 
who  is  now  a  legend  at  Susquehanna  University. 

For,  on  that  night,  he  had  the  trial— and  time— of 
his  life.  For  that  matter,  it  was  quite  a  time— and  trial 
—for  all  present  at  the  event:  cooks,  kitchen  girls,  laun- 
dry help,  janitors,  maintenance  personnel,  student 
waiters,  student  dishwashers  and  dishdriers,  mail  boys, 
and  so  on.  It  was  a  very  select  audience  who  listened, 
laughed,  and  wept  at  the  testimony,  consternation,  and 
joy  of  Mr.  Thomas  Horton  ("Pappy"),  as  he  meekly 
submitted,  unsuspectingly,  to  the  trial  —  and  time  —  of 
his  life. 

The  occasion  was  his  birthday— which  one  doesn't 
matter. 

The  scheming  employees,  and  "board  and  lodg- 
ing" earners,  had  planned  an  elaborate  trick  on  "Pappy" 
in  the  form  of  a  charge  "that  he  had  taken  the  kitchen 
help  to  the  movies"— and  further,  the  charge  included 
that  "he  had  only  taken  the  females." 

The  ensuing  trial  evoked  side-splitting  merriment, 
among  both  the  court  and  the  spectators,  and  consider- 
ably heightened  the  natural  pink  color  of  "Pappy's" 
cheeks  as  he  blushed,  stammered  and  sputtered  vehe- 
ment denials  of  evil  intents  that  were  implied  in  the 
charges.  (The  fact  was,  Mrs.  Thomas  Horton  always 
accompanied  those  theatre  crowds,  but  this  fact  was 
never  allowed  to  be  admitted  as  testimony). 

The  Judge  was  the  Seminarian  Alvin  Teichart, 
stern  and  forbidding,  and  sober,  as  a  judge  should  be. 
The  trial  jury— unfortunately  for  the  defendant— was 
not  "of  his  peers,"  but  consisted  of  those  whose  serv- 
ices he  employed  daily.  I  cannot  recall  the  identity  of 
the  prosecuting  and  defending  attorneys,  but  there  was

deacon  in  Royal 
Oak,   Michigan. 


a  deal  of  legal  talent  displayed  as  they  questioned  the 
witnesses,  adlibbing  and  imagining  all  sorts  of  possibil- 
ities of  events  that  could  occur  in  a  very  dark  theatre. 

The  "damning  evidence  piled  up  relentlessly,  and 
the  outcome  was  never  in  question.  The  witnesses 
against  the  defendant  were  legion  —  and  not  a  single 
witness  in  behalf  of  "Pappy.  Taking  the  stand,  in  his 
own  behalf,  he  practically  admitted  his  guilt,  but  tried 
to  express  his  true  intent.  That  could  not  be  admitted 
as  evidence,  so  the  side-splitting  laughter  continued  to 
confuse  the  highly  embarrassed  "Tommy."  As  a  good 
sport,  and  getting  in  tune  with  the  occasion,  he  tried 
to  involve  Mrs.  Horton  and  others,  but  got  so  entangled 
with  his  own  machinations  that  the  "case"  became 
"cases,"  that  proved  his  guilt  "beyond  a  reasonable 
doubt." 

Poor  "Tommy"  couldn't  even  call  on  Mrs.  Horton 
for  help,  to  prove  the  innocence  of  his  intents.     It  be- 


OCTOBER     1962 


came  more  and  more  evident  that  he  had  been  "guilty 
as  accused"  on  several  prior  occasions— and  now  his  con- 
genial liberality  had  him  "strictly  on  a  spot." 

Since  that  was  the  era  of  crystal  sets  and  ear- 
phones, and  recording  devices  were  not  readily  avail- 
able, one  of  the  finest  events  in  Susquehanna's  history 
didn't  get  "recorded"— except  in  the  "fading  memor- 
ies" of  those  present.  ( Methinks  there  are  many  oth- 
ers who  could  give  a  better  narration  than  this  one— 
and  a  "gabfest  reunion"  would  likely  produce  some  of 
the  exact  phrases  among  the  various  testimony! )  For 
this  reason— only— I  felt  this  should  be  written  "for 
those  that  run"  to  read. 

The  summation  of  the  damning  testimony,  despite 
the  fervent  plea  to  the  jury  by  "Tommy's"  lawyer,  left 
the  Judge  no  alternative  but  to  charge  the  jury  to 
bring  in  a  quick  verdict  of  "GUILTY."  This  was  clear- 
ly foreseen,  and  the  jury  "returned"  just  as  expected— 
and  as  planned. 

So  the  Judge  hailed  the  stammering,  flustered, 
blushing  and  sweating  "Tommy"  before  the  bench 
(orchestra  leaders'  lectern)  and  "Al"  solemnly  pro- 
nounced, 

"I  sentence  you  to  be  'watched'  and  'chained'  all 
the  rest  of  vour  life." 


Thereupon  he  produced  a  gold  watch  and  chain 
(plus  fob),  and  placed  it  in  Mr.  Thomas  Horton's  vest 
pocket.  Tears  flowed  and  sinuses  were  cleared  during 
the  next  few  dramatic  moments  as  "Pappy"  tried  to  ex- 
press his  gratitude. 

The  watch  had  been  properly  inscribed  with  the 
above  "sentence"  and  date  of  the  occasion.  It  was  the 
combined  gift  of  those  present;  it  represented  a  heap  of 
odd-jobbin'— in  some  cases— and  a  mite  of  pocket  money 
in  other  cases,  but  it  was  a  proper  gift  to  a  proper 
gentleman  who  made  possible  a  good  share  of  the 
funds  that  paid  for  their  education.  No  one  was  more 
concerned  about  "my  boys  and  my  girls"  than  was  lov- 
able, affectionate,  irascible  "Tommy  Horton." 

A  few  of  those  who  were  present  at  the  "trial"— 
and  "time"— have  become  Susquehanna  legends,  along 
with  "Tommy."  If  there  are  more  names  than  those 
following,  I  am  sure  the  editors  will  include  them: 
"Dave"  Dagle,  "Jack"  Spangler,  "Socrates"  Swonger, 
"Han"  Erb.  and  "Tommy"  Atkinson. 

As  for  the  others  present,  and  still  living,  they  are 
busy  "writing  their  names  on  places"  near  and  far  away 
from  Susquehanna's  campus.  None  of  these  ever  fail 
to  pay  their  respects  to  "Tommy"  Horton,  whose  days 
at  S.  U.  were  the  "trials"— and  "times"— of  his  life. 


John  Hendricks  Is  New 
S.   U.  Alumni  Director 


Susquehanna's  alumni  office  changed  hands  during 
the  summer  when  Don  Wissinger  '50,  director  since 
1959,  became  an  assistant  professor  of  education  at  S.U. 
and  turned  over  his  former  responsibilities  to  John  S. 
Hendricks  '57. 

The  new  director  of  alumni  relations  has  been  on 
the  job  since  August  20.  He  got  his  "feet  wet"  pretty 
quickly  and  already  is  carrying  out  his  duties  as  if  he 
had  been  an  alumni  director  all  his  life.  The  future  is 
in  good  hands. 

Susquehanna  and  its  alumni  are  grateful  indeed  for 
Don's  three  years  of  truly  outstanding  service,  energy 
and  accomplishment  in  launching  a  New  Era  in  S.  U. 
alumni  interest  and  support.  And  they  wish  him  the 
very  best  in  his  return  to  the  classroom. 

John  Hendricks,  who  is  31,  is  a  native  of  Sunbury 
and  a  graduate  of  Sunbury  High  School.  Before  en- 
tering Susquehanna,  he  spent  four  years  in  the  U.  S. 
Marine  Corps  with  the  First  Division  in  Korea  and 
was  discharged  as  a  staff  sergeant.  He  earned  his  B.S. 
after  three  years  of  study  and  then  joined  Dun  &  Brad- 


street  of  New  York  City,  first  as  a  traveling  reporter  for 
the  Philadelphia  office  and  later  as  a  service  manager 
in  York. 

In  the  spring  of  1959  he  accepted  a  position  with 
the  Shipley  Humble  Petroleum  Division  of  York  Ship- 
lev.  Inc.  of  York,  for  whom  he  was  office  manager  un- 
til he  was  tapped  for  the  S.  U.  alumni  post. 

While  an  undergraduate,  Hendricks  majored  in 
economics  and  was  active  in  Pi  Gamma  Mu  honorary 
social  science  fraternity  as  well  as  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
social  fraternity.  He  is  a  member  of  the  American 
Legion  and  the  Veterans  of  Foreign  Wars. 

John  and  his  wife,  the  former  Nancy  Joy  Smith 
of  Glenside,  Pa.  and  a  graduate  of  Cedar  Crest  Col- 
lege, live  on  a  newly-purchased  farm  property  just  a 
couple  of  miles  from  Selinsgrove  with  their  son  Palmer 
S.,  age  5.  They  are  attending  Zion  Lutheran  Church 
at  Kratzerville. 

To  John  Hendricks,  too,  alumni  wish  the  very  best 
as  Susquehanna  continues  to  move  forward  in  all  of 
its  activities.

Amos  Alonzo  Stagg  Sr.  was  100  years  old  on  August  16  and  Susquehanna  joined 
with  other  colleges  and  cities  across  the  nation  in  helping  The  Grand  Old  Man 
celebrate  his  birthday.  The  pictures  above  and  below  were  taken  at  the  S.  U. 
Birthday  Party  in  Seibert  Hall  as:  Dr.  Bernard  W.  Krapf,  assistant  to  the  president, 
presented  a  plaque  for  placement  in  Alumni  Gymnasium  to  Jim  Garrett,  athletic 
director  and  head  football  and  baseball  coach;  as:  Rich  Young  '54,  Jim  Peters  '49 
and  Bob  Pittello  '51  admired  the  Stagg  "Old  Hat"  trophy  emblematic  of  victory 
in  the  annual  Sunbury  Kiwanis  Charities  game;  and  as:  friends,  alumni,  and  Se- 
linsgrove  Kiwanis  and  Rotary  members  observed  the  event  together.  At  the  left:

Alumni  Fund  Pushing  $35,000  Goal 


Over  the  summer  months,  Sus- 
quehanna's 1962  Alumni  Loyalty 
Fund  inched  upwards  towards  the 
$35,000  goal.  At  press  time  it  stood 
at  $32,246.20  in  cash  and  pledges- 
less  than  $3000  to  go! 

Loyalty  Fund  Chairman  Clyde 
Spitzner  '37  was  confident  that  the 
remainder  will  be  forthcoming  be- 
fore the  end  of  the  calendar  year. 

"Since  we're  so  close  to  victory," 
he  said,  "I'm  sure  that  loyal  Sus- 
quehannans  will  go  all  out  to  close 
the  gap  between  the  present  total 
and  the  goal.  I  know  we  can  do 
it,  for  the  growth  of  our  Fund  over 
the  past  few  years  has  definitely 
shown  that  S.U.  alumni  can  do  anv- 


thing  they  put  their  minds  and 
hearts  to.  The  entire  committee 
appeals  to  all  who  have  not  yet 
given,  to  do  so  now." 

Perhaps  even  more  satisfying 
than  the  actual  amount  of  money 
raised  by  the  Fund  is  the  fact  that 
more  persons  have  participated 
than  ever  before.  Thus  far,  1056 
have  given  in  1962— compared  with 
last  year's  record  822.  At  the  same 
time,  our  average  gift  is  holding  up 
at  $30.53,  only  a  whisper  behind 
the  1961  average  of  $32.18. 

All  of  which  speaks  very  well 
for  the  sons  and  daughters  of  Sus- 
quehanna—to  whom  the  University 
is  eternally  and  sincerely  grateful.

Crusaders  Post  First  Win  In 
Defense  of  MAC  Championship 


Autumn  has  come  around  all  too 
soon  for  those  busy  people  who 
never  seemed  to  find  the  time  to 
"take  a  proper  vacation."  But,  is 
it  really  too  soon? 

For  the  saving  grace  of  autumn 
—once  we've  managed  to  get  the 
household  organized  again,  pack 
the  kids  off  to  school  and  so  forth— 
is  that  old  American  phenomenon, 
King  Football. 

At  Susquehanna,  King  Football 
was  much  in  evidence  on  August 
31  when  71  candidates  reported  to 
Head  Coach  Jim  Garrett  and  his 
staff.  All  but  five  lettermen  were 
back  from  the  undefeated  1961 
Middle  Atlantic  Conference  north- 
ern college  division  championship 
team.  By  the  time  the  Crusaders 
were  ready  for  their  first  game  on 
September  22,  the  total  squad  had 
been  reduced  to  46  well-condition- 
ed,   eager-to-play    footballers. 

And  they  brought  home  the  ba- 
con—besting Upsala  College  in  the 
third     annual     Sunburv     Kiwanis 


*  '  T  ...' 


Football  Charities  Festival,  16-0, 
thus  extending  their  unbeaten 
streak  to  14  successive  games  and 
winning  the  Amos  Alonzo  Stagg 
Old  Hat  trophy  for  the  third  year 
in  a  row.  The  "star"  of  the  contest 
might  be  said  to  be  junior  center 
John  Bowlands,  who  shot  through 
the  Vikings'  forward  wall  like  a 
cannonball  and  continually  nailed 
Upsala  passers  for  big  losses  be- 
hind the  line  of  scrimmage— and, 
incidentally,  won  a  trophy  as  the 
game's  "best  defensive  player." 

Then  again,  hard-earned  touch- 
downs by  junior  fullback  Larry 
Kerstetter  and  sophomore  halfback 
Larry  Erdman  didn't  hurt  either. 
And  junior  halfback  Terry  Kissing- 
er's 60-yard  scamper  with  the  sec- 
ond half's  kickoff  did  put  fire  in  a 
game  which  was  scoreless  up  to 
that  point.  All  in  all,  it  was  really 
a  fine,  team  effort  with  substitu- 
tions freely  made,  and  augured 
well  for  the  eight  big  games  to  fol- 
low. S.  U.  seemed  to  be  readv  for 


. 


Coach  Garrett  lines  up  with  '62's  returning  lettermen,  front  row:  center 
John  Rowlands,  end  Jim  Gibney,  end  Mike  Rupprecht,  quarterback 
Don  Green,  fullback  Larry  Kerstetter.  Back  row:  guard  John  Garrett, 
guard  Richie  Caruso,  halfback  John  Luscko,  tackle  Neal  Markle,  center 
Tom    Samuel,    halfback    Terry    Kissinger,    and    halfback    Larry    Erdman. 


Team  captain  this  year  is  halfback 
John  Luscko  of  Mt.  Ephraim,  N.  J. 
For  the  past  two  seasons  he  has 
been  the  leading  ground-gainer  in 
the  MAC  northern  college  division. 


Ursinus  the  next  week— everyone 
realizing  that  the  Lycoming  battle 
in  Williamsport  on  October  6  could 
be  a  critical  point  in  the  '62  cam- 
paign. After  Wagner  on  Home- 
coming, October  13,  the  Crusaders 
have  four  weeks  on  the  road  in 
four  different  states  before  return- 
ing to  Selinsgrove  to  finish  the 
season  with  Delaware  Valley  on 
November  17. 

Besides  those  already  mentioned, 
these  are  the  Crusaders  from  whom 
the  best  performances  are  expected 
this  year: 

Quarterbacks  Don  Green  and 
Sam  Metzger;  halfback  and  cap- 
tain John  Luscko;  ends  Mike  Rup- 
precht, Jim  Gibney  and  Richie 
Hirsch;  tackles  Neal  Markle  and 
Dave  Revak;  guards  Richie  Caruso 
and  John  Garrett;  center  Tom  Sam- 
uel. Only  Luscko,  Markle  and 
Samuel  are  seniors. 

Whatever  the  results  in  '62,  Or- 
ange and  Maroons  are  promised 
plenty  of  action  on  Saturday  after- 
noons. And  even  though  we  can't 
expect  an  undefeated  season  every 
year— now  that  autumn  is  in  its 
full  glory,  there  are  those  who 
dream!

AN    APPEAL 

FOR 

INFORMATION 


Susquehanna  and  the  Alumni  Association   last  published  an  Alumni  Directory  in   1954.  Many  changes, 

additions,  etc.   have  occurred  since  then  and   it  is  essential     that     a     new     Directory    be     published — we're 

shooting   for  Alumni   Day,   May  4,  1963.      We  only    have    a    few    months    to    gather    all    the    information; 
will  you  cooperate? 

Last  year  we  received  only  a  25  per  cent  response  to  a  mail  questionnaire  sent  from  the  Alumni  Office, 
but  we're  certain  this  percentage  can  be  improved  by  your  prompt  answers  to  the  questions  on  this  page 
and  the  next.  PLEASE  PRINT  OR  TYPE,  clip  out  the  whole  page,  and  mail  to  the  Alumni  Office,  Susque-

Suggestions? 


The  Alumni  Association  nominates  two  members  to  be  elected  to  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  Susquehanna  University  to  represent  the  alumni.  While  there 
are  several  other  members  of  the  Board  who  are  alumni  and  alumni  interests  are 
certainly  well  represented,  your  two  official  representatives  would  like  to  express 
their  interest  in  seeing  that  any  ideas  or  suggestions  of  alumni  are  brought  to 
the  attention  of  the  Board.  It  is  with  this  in  mind  that  this  note  appears,  and 
we  hope  that  individual  alumni,  as  well  as  the  Council,  will  help  us  in  the 
performance  of  our  proper  duties. 

Susquehanna  is  on  the  move  and  we  must  keep  her  going.  She  needs  your 
help  in  other  areas  besides  money.  We  hope  that  alumni  who  have  not  taken 
an  active  interest  will  begin  to  participate  in  the  many  things  which  they  can 
do  to  help,  such  as  guiding  the  better  students  toward  Susquehanna,  partici- 
pating in  the  district  club  activities,  helping  with  funding  campaigns,  and  visit- 
ing the  University.  In  addition,  your  serious  suggestions  will  be  carefully  con- 
sidered by  the  Board,  and  will  be  welcomed.

ON     OUR    COVER 

Homecoming  was  quite  a  day— and 
so  was  the  entire  '62  football  season, 
played  just  70  years  after  the  game  was 
first  introduced  at  Susquehanna.  These 
are  the  two  Crusaders  who  made  the 
most  headlines:  sophomore  halfback 
Larry  Erdman  of  Herndon,  Pa.,  carrying 
the  pigskin  behind  junior  fullback  Larry 
Kerstetter  of  Port  Trevorton,  Pa. 

Don't  miss  the  season's  wrap-up  story 
about  your  Crusaders— who  own  the 
longest  undefeated  collegiate  streak  in 
the  nation!  "They  Did  It  Again,"  by 
Ron  Berkluimer,  begins  on  page  9.

Financing 

Your  Child  in  College 


What  does  it  cost  to  attend  college?  And  where 
will  the  money  come  from?  Perhaps  you  have  read 
that  it  can  cost  anywhere  from  $500  to  $5,000  a  year 
to  send  a  child  to  college  these  days.  Do  you  wonder 
why  there  is  this  great  range— and  where  you  would 
get,  say,  $8,000  for  the  four-year  education  of  each  of 
your  children?  If  your  children  are  young,  are  you 
alarmed  at  predictions  that  college  costs  will  increase 
markedly  in  five  years,  and  may  actually  double  in  ten 
or  fifteen? 

The  facts  are  sobering  enough.  But  they  should 
not  produce  the  jitters  or  cause  parents  to  panic. 
Through  careful  planning,  a  family  can  prepare  to 
meet  college  expenses  as  easily  as  it  prepares  to  buy 
a  house,  an  automobile,  or  a  major  home  appliance. 

While  it  is  safe  to  predict  that  all  costs  of  attend- 
ing college  will  increase  each  year  between  now  and 
1965,  1970,  and  1975,  all  of  the  economic  trends  indi- 
cate that  family  income  for  most  of  us  will  increase  pro- 
portionately. Although  families  will  be  paying  more 
dollars  each  year  toward  the  costs  of  a  college  educa- 
tion, in  most  cases  they  will  not  be  paying  an  increas- 
ing proportion  of  the  educational  costs  or  devoting  a 
larger  fraction  of  their  income  to  these  purposes. 

There  is  nothing  mysterious  about  the  costs  of  at- 
tending college.  They  break  down  into  two  segments. 
Educational  costs,  which  are  minor,  are  set  by  the  col- 
lege. But  living  costs,  which  are  major,  can  be  con- 
trolled to  a  large  extent  by  the  student  and  his  family. 

If  we  examine  the  two  segments  separately,  we 
can  then  put  them  together  to  show  total  costs.  But 
before  we  do,  let  it  be  clearly  understood  that  all  the 
comments  below  on  costs  and  on  sources  of  funds  are 
limited    to    single,    full-time,    resident,    undergraduate 


college  students.  In  public  colleges,  we  will  further 
restrict  ourselves  to  costs  for  students  who  are  resi- 
dents of  the  state  in  which  the  institutions  are  located 
and  who  therefore  do  not  pay  the  higher  tuition  charged 
to  non-residents.  The  story  would  be  too  complicated, 
and  both  costs  and  sources  of  funds  would  lose  focus, 
if  we  included  commuting  and  part-time  students, 
married  students,  or  those  attending  graduate  or  pro- 
fessional schools. 

Educational  costs  —  tuition,  fees,  books,  educa- 
tional equipment  and  supplies  —  are  not  the  major  part 
of  the  total  expense  of  going  to  college.  At  public- 
supported  colleges,  educational  costs  average  only  one 
sixth  of  the  total  that  each  student  spends.  At  private 
colleges,  where  tuition  is  higher,  these  expenses  still 
average  only  about  one  third  of  the  total.  The  student 
pays  for  only  a  portion  of  what  it  really  costs  his  col- 
lege —  public  or  private  —  to  provide  his  education. 
And,  as  a  result,  his  educational  expenses  remain  rela- 
tively low. 

Although  educational  costs  have  risen  from  6  to  9 
percent  each  year  since  \Yorld  War  II  —  and  75  per- 
cent in  the  last  decade  —  they  began  at  a  very  low  level 
indeed.  And,  despite  some  instances  of  very  high 
tuition,  the  averages  are  still  low  enough  to  be  within 
the  reach  of  nearly  everyone. 

There  are  state  universities  where  annual  tuition 
and  fees  have  reached  $800  per  student.  Yet  the  aver- 
age is  still  under  $275.     And  at  ten  outstanding  public

At  private  colleges,  the  student  pays  a  larger  share 
of  what  it  costs  the  college  to  provide  his  educational 
program.  But  only  at  the  less  well-managed  institu- 
tions does  he  pay  more  than  60  percent  of  the  actual 
educational  cost.  The  rest  is  made  up  by  each  college 
from  its  endowment  and  current  gifts.  The  average 
charge  for  tuition  and  fees  at  the  superior  private  col- 
leges was  $768  in  1961-62,  and  the  middle  half  of 
them  charged  from  $565  to  $980. 

What  makes  financing  four  years  in  college  truly 
burdensome  is  the  high  cost  of  living— and,  sometimes, 
the  cost  of  high  living.  On  a  national  average,  living 
costs  make  up  five  sixths  of  student  expenses  at  public 
colleges,  and  two  thirds  at  private  colleges.  While 
most  parents  would  prefer  less  high  living  and  more 
high  thinking,  they  do  want  their  children  housed 
comfortably,  fed  well,  and  provided  with  wholesome 
recreation,  medical  care,  and  other  student  services. 
All  of  this  costs  money.  The  truth  is,  we  prefer  it  to 
the  plain  living  of  yesteryear. 

Both  the  college  and  the  student  make  decisions 
which  determine  the  cost  of  living.  Auxiliary  facilities 
and  services  provided  by  the  college,  many  of  which 
contribute  to  education  as  well  as  to  comfort  and  well- 
being,  largely  determine  whether  an  institution  has  an 
atmosphere  of  relative  austerity  or  of  a  "country  club." 
But  living  costs  at  any  given  institution  are  also  gov- 
erned by  what  the  student  and  his  family  consider  a 
reasonable  budget. 


A  student  on  a  luxury  budget  often  spends  three 
or  four  times  as  much  as  one  on  an  economy  budget. 
At  the  University  of  Illinois,  for  example,  single  under- 
graduate students  spent  in  1960  anywhere  from  $850 
to  $3,400,  averaging  $1,744.  Only  $376  of  this  was  for 
tuition,  fees,  and  other  educational  costs. 

If  we  look  just  at  the  totals  for  tuition,  fees,  room 
and  board,  omitting  other  incidental  expenses  for  the 
moment,  the  1961-62  figures  ranged  from  a  low  of 
$600  in  67  public  and  24  private  colleges  to  a  high  of 
82,000  in  six  public  and  125  private  colleges.  The 
average  of  these  costs  in  493  accredited  public  colleges 
was  $913.     In  886  private  colleges,  it  was  $1,392. 

All  these  figures  support  the  view  that  the  essen- 
tial costs  of  going  to  college  are  still  within  the  reach 
of  most  families. 


A  superior  undergraduate  college  education  can 
cost  a  lot  or  a  little  today,  and  the  same  is  likely  to  be 
true  in  the  future.  Let's  take  a  look  at  how  students 
and  their  parents  are  meeting  these  costs,  and  suggest 
some  new  ways  for  meeting  them. 

The  man  was  right  who  said  the  easiest  way  to  fi- 
nance a  college  education  is  to  choose  parents  who  are 
in  the  upper  income  brackets  or  grandparents  who  es- 
tablished a  trust  fund  for  the  purpose. 

Less  fortunate  but  more  enterprising  persons  cut 
college  expenses  by  choosing  a  superior  college  in  a 
section  of  the  country  where  costs  are  low.  At  least 
300,000  undergraduates  who  do  this  are  saving  up  to 
30  percent  of  the  total  cost  of  attending  college.  A 
public  or  private  college  in  New  England  or  the  Mid- 
dle Atlantic  states,  for  example,  will  cost  much  more 


JANUARY    1963 


than  an  institution  of  the  same  high  standards  in  the 
South  or  Middle  West.  High  school  and  college  coun- 
selors can  give  leads  to  such  information,  and  the  en- 
terprising family  can  save  hundreds  of  dollars  by  fol- 
lowing them. 

If  a  student  does  not  choose  to  go  where  superior 
education  is  least  expensive,  another  sure  way  of  sav- 
ing in  cash  outlay  is  to  stay  home  and  become  a  com- 
muting student.  At  least  half  of  the  undergraduates  in 
the  country  live  close  enough  to  a  college  to  save 
money  in  this  way.  But  by  doing  so,  they  would  lose 
the  social  growth  inherent  in  a  residential  college.  This 
and  other  decisions  leading  to  the  choice  of  a  college 
cannot  be  made  lightly,  of  course. 


Whlle  the  amount  of  money  required  for  four 
years  in  college  varies  with  such  factors,  the  pattern 
of  who  provides  it  does  not  vary  gieatly.  Parents  of 
commuting  students,  for  example,  pay  less  in  cash  and 
more  in  kind;  but  they  nevertheless  provide  about  the 
same  proportion  of  the  student's  total  budget  as  do  all 
other  parents. 

The  most  recent  comprehensive  report  of  where 
the  money  comes  from  was  my  study  for  1952-53  (U.  S. 
Office  of  Education  Bulletin  No.  9,  1957).  Recent 
smaller  studies  indicate  the  patterns  have  not  changed 
much  since  then.  That  study  included  16,000  single 
undergraduate  students  in  110  public  and  private  col- 
leges in  41  states.  It  showed  that  41  percent  of  the 
money  came  from  family  and  relatives,  26  percent 
from  student  earnings,  20  percent  from  assets  (sav- 
ings, etc.),  10-  percent  from  scholarships,  1  percent 
from  loans,  and  2  percent  from  miscellaneous  sources. 

These  figures  are  averages,  and  they  do  not  mean 
that  all  students  received  income  from  all  of  these 
sources.  In  fact,  the  studies  show  that  only  about  20 
percent  of  all  students  receive  any  funds  from  scholar- 
ship sources,  and  that  nearly  25  percent  do  not  receive 
any  funds  from  parents  or  other  relatives.  On  the 
other  hand,  two  thirds  of  the  men  and  half  the  women 
had  income  from  work  during  the  school  year  or  the 
preceding  summer. 

The  number  of  students  who  borrow  money  has 
increased  markedly  since  Congress  enacted  the  Nation- 
al Defense  Education  Act  in  1958.  For  the  school  year 
1960-61,  under  this  act  alone,  151,115  students  bor- 
rowed $71  million.  What's  more,  the  liberal  terms  of 
the  act  regarding  the  making  and  repayment  of  loans 
have  had  an  important  influence  on  other  student  loan 
funds.  At  least  21  states  now-  have  substantial  loan 
funds.  Long-term,  low-interest  loans  are  also  avail- 
able from  religious,  labor,  service  and  philanthropic 
organizations.  Banks  and  insurance  companies  are 
making    commercial    loans    to    students    in    increasing 


numbers,  usually  through  parents  or  other  adults.  In 
1961,  banks  alone  reported  making  13,000  educational 
loans  amounting  to  $37.3  million. 


But  parents  still  provide  a  major  portion  of  the 
money  for  college  expenses,  as  they  always  have.  Let 
us  look  at  the  factors  which  influence  how  much  par- 
ents contribute,  and  how  they  manage  to  do  so. 

Lower  income  families  tend  to  send  their  children 
to  low-cost  institutions,  where  they  provide  as  large  a 
proportion  of  the  total  budget  as  a  wealthier  family 
contributes  at  a  high-cost  college.  Too  often  this  puts 
a  B-plus  student  from  a  D-plus  economic  family  into  a 
C-minus  college.  The  obvious  immediate  remedy  is 
to  let  the  student  attend  a  superior  college,  contribute 
the  same  number  of  dollars,  and  let  the  student  and  the 
college  make  up  the  balance  through  work  opportunit- 
ies, loans,  and  scholarships.  The  long-range  remedy 
calls  for  a  family  investment  plan  that  begins  when 
die  child  enters  elementary  school,  or  before. 

It  is  a  greater  error  of  judgment  to  send  ones 
child  to  a  shoddy  college  in  order  to  save  a  few  hun- 
dred dollars  on  a  lifetime  investment  than  it  is  to  save 
a  few  dollars  on  a  short-term  investment  in  shoddy 
clothes.  Yet  parents  are  more  prone  to  make  the  first 
than  the  second  mistake.  We  tend  to  forget  that  dur- 
ing the  first  five  of  his  productive  years  a  student 
usually  earns  the  difference  in  what  it  costs  to  attend 
a  college  that  gives  a  superior  education. 

Once  a  student  has  been  admitted  to  a  college 
suited  to  his  needs  and  capacities,  the  family  contribu- 
tion to  his  budget  is  determined  by  some  combination 
of  the  following  six  factors,  listed  in  the  order  of  then 
importance:  (1)  family  income,  (2)  parents'  level  of 
education,  (3)  the  breadwinner's  occupation,  (4)  sex 
of  child,  5 )  the  number  of  brothers  or  sisters  now  in 
college  or  who  have  recently  been  graduated,  and  (6) 
the  number  who  may  later  attend  college. 

Level  of  income  is  obviously  the  most  important 
of  the  six  factors,  but  it  does  not  operate  alone.  The 
parents'  own  education  and  occupation  usually  influ- 
ence both  how  much  money  is  earned  and  for  what 
purposes  it  is  spent. 

A  1960-61  study  of  student  economics  by  Professor 
L.  J.  Lins  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin  explored 
some  of  the  relationships  of  family  income  to  the 
amounts  spent  for  college.  The  study  revealed  a  re- 
markable difference  at  each  income  level  between  the 
total  college  expenditures  of  in-state  and  out-of-state 
students.  It  also  confirmed  the  fact  that  parents 
spend  more  to  send  daughters  to  the  University  of  Wis- 
consin than  to  send  sons.  And  of  course  it  showed  that 
student  budgets  rist'  gradually  from  austerity  to  luxury 
with  family  income. 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


The  median  college  expenditures  for  students 
from  Wisconsin  families  with  incomes  under  $4,000 
were  $1,250  for  men  and  $1,267  for  women.  At  the 
other  extreme,  men  students  from  Wisconsin  families 
with  incomes  over  $20,000  spent  an  average  of  $1,651, 
and  women  students  $1,919.  Men  from  out-of-state 
families  in  tin's  hracket  spent  $2,270,  and  women  $2,564. 

Other  studies  show  that  the  education  and  occupa- 
tion of  parents,  especially  at  lower  income  levels,  help 
determine  whether  qualified  children  will  go  to  col- 
lege, and  how  much  of  the  family  income  will  he  used 
to  assist  them.  In  general,  the  more  education  parents 
have  and  the  more  culturally  significant  their  occupa- 
tions, the  greater  is  their  willingness  to  make  sacrifices 
in  order  to  help  finance  their  children's  college  educa- 
tion. 

How  much  parents  pay  toward  college  expenses 
depends  also  on  how  many  children  they  have  at  about 
college  age.  Fewer  than  one  fifth  of  the  couples  with 
one  child  in  college  have  one  or  more  other  children 
attending  college  at  the  same  time.  About  one  third 
have  older  children  who  have  previously  attended 
college.  But  half  of  the  families  have  younger  children 
who  are  potential  college  students. 

The  average  student  with  no  brothers  or  sisters 
spends  more  than  students  who  have  them.  In  the 
University  of  Wisconsin  study,  for  example,  students 
with  no  brothers  or  sisters  had  budgets  that  averaged 
$1,775,  and  those  with  four  or  more  siblings  spent 
$1,390.  The  presence  of  one  additional  child  to  be 
put  through  college  tends  to  reduce  the  average  an- 
nual budget  of  a  student  by  $100;  of  two  children,  by 
$175;  three  children,  $250;  and  four  or  more  additional 
children  by  at  least  an  average  of  $350. 

Parents  provide  two  fifths  of  the  expenses  of  single 
undergraduate  students.  And  most  of  them  do  so 
now  on  a  sporadic,  catch-as-catch-can  basis— most  fre- 
quently by  cutting  down  on  current  family  expenditur- 
es. About  one  fourth  of  the  parents  say  they  make  all 
their  contributions  from  normal  current  income. 

About  half  of  the  students  who  enter  college  get 
10  to  15  percent  of  their  freshman  and  sophomore 
hudgets  from  gifts  and  inheritances  or  from  other  fam- 
ily capital. 

Parents  can  take  on  extra  work  to  provide  the 
necessary  funds.  The  father  can  secure  a  second  job, 
or  the  mother  can  take  one  on,  or  both.  Thirty  percent 
of  parents  report  that  part  of  the  family  contribution 
to  college  expenses  comes  from  extra  earnings  by  some 
family  member  other  than  the  student. 

More  and  more  of  those  parents  whose  children 
are  not  yet  of  college  age  are  committing  themselves 
to  comprehensive  plans  for  saving  money  systematical- 
ly for  the  college  education  of  their  children.    Yet  the 


number  who  are  saving  in  a  realistic  way  is  still  alarm- 
ingly low. 

A  Ford  Foundation-sponsored  survey  made  in  1959 
showed  about  three  fifths  of  the  parents  whose  children 
are  not  yet  of  college  age  have  no  plan  at  all  to  pro- 
vide money  for  college  expenses.  According  to  this 
survey,  24  percent  of  parents  have  insurance  programs 
to  save  money  over  a  ten  to  fifteen-year  period  before 
their  children  are  of  college  age.  Eleven  percent  have 
savings  in  bank  accounts,  6  percent  have  Government 
bonds,  4  percent  have  common  stocks,  and  4  percent 
have  other  types  of  plans. 

But  those  who  need  such  savings  plans  most  are 
least  likely  to  have  them.  Some  58  percent  of  parents 
in  high  income  brackets  have  savings  plans,  averaging 
about  $670  a  year.  Only  38  and  28  percent  of  those 
in  average  and  below-average  income  brackets  are 
saving  about  $130  and  $100  a  year,  respectively,  for 
college  expenses.  The  average  family  with  one  child 
saves  $140  per  year  for  this  purpose;  with  two  children, 
$150;  and  with  three  or  more  children,  $180. 

Compare  these  figures  witli  those  given  above  for 
college  costs,  and  you  will  see  that  families  are  not 
accumulating  enough  funds  to  meet  two  fifths  of  the 
cost  of  four  years  in  college  (the  current  average  fam- 
ily contribution),  much  less  this  portion  of  the  increas- 
ed costs  expected  by  1970  or  1975.  There  is  an  urgent 
need  for  those  who  are  saving  for  college  attendance 
to  double  the  amount  they  now  set  aside.  And  there 
is  an  even  more  urgent  need  for  the  60  percent  who 
are  not  currently  saving  to  devise  plans  that  are  ade- 
quate for  their  purposes. 

As  indicated  above,  parents  who  have  savings  plans 
rely  largely  on  lending  their  money  and  accumulating 
interest.  When  asked  in  the  Ford  Foundation  survey 
why  they  chose  the  plans  they  did.  parents  who  arc 
using  insurance  policies  said  they  liked  the  regular 
forced  payments,  the  protection  in  case  of  death,  the 
fact  that  cashing  the  policies  is  discouraged,  and  the 
fact  that  payments  are  extended  over  a  long  period. 
Those  using  savings  accounts  reported  they  did  so  be- 
cause this  type  of  investment  is  easier,  can  be  used 
for  other  things,  pays  a  higher  interest  rate,  and  isi 
safe.  Those  who  prefer  investing  in  Government  bonds 
like  them  for  reasons  of  safety,  high  interest,  payroll 
deductions,  patriotism,  and  because  the  money  isn't 
readily  available  to  be  spent  for  other  things. 

Savings  and  loan  associations,  which  now  pay  4 
to  4.75  percent  and  which  guarantee  deposits  up  to 
$10,000  through  an  agency  of  the  Federal  Government, 
provide  another  sound  but  relatively  little-used  method 
for  long-term  investment  by  those  who  put  safety  of 
principal  above  the  risks  of  investing  directly  in  the 
private  enterprise  system. 


JANUARY    1963 


Those  who  invest  in  the  economy  directly  to  ac- 
cumulate funds  for  college  attendance,  through  com- 
mon stocks  or  otherwise,  do  so  primarily  in  the  expec- 
tation of  a  higher  return  on  the  investment,  and  as  a 
hedge  against  inflation.  Because  saving  for  college 
is  a  long-term  investment,  they  believe  it  is  not  endang- 
ered by  the  short-range  vagaries  of  the  stock  market. 
They  say  they  prefer  to  invest  in  the  economy  them- 
selves, rather  than  to  lend  their  money  to  someone  else 
who  will  do  so  to  his  own  profit. 

One  of  the  newer  plans  for  saving  to  meet  college 
costs  is  investment  in  the  shares  of  mutual  funds.  This 
arrangement  enables  one  to  put  his  money  in  shares 
of  a  variety'  of  portfolios  of  common  stocks  or  of  prefer- 
red stocks  and  bonds,  and  leave  the  management  to 
qualified  investors.  There  are  some  250  mutual  funds 
operating  in  the  United  States.  They  range  all  the 
way  from  funds  emphasizing  growth  stocks,  which 
may  pay  low  dividends  but  may  increase  greatly  in 
value  in  a  few  years,  to  funds  based  on  portfolios  of 


preferred  stocks  or  bonds  that  produce  relatively  high 
dividends  but  have  low  growth  potential. 

It  costs  a  lot  to  go  to  college  today,  and  of  course 
it  will  cost  more  tomorrow.  Yet  parents  who  look 
realistically  at  college  costs  need  not  be  alarmed. 
Student  budgets  are  flexible,  and  they  can  be  controlled 
to  a  remarkable  extent  by  family  desires  and  family 
circumstances.  Nearly  everyone  can  afford  to  invest 
in  a  college  education,  with  careful  planning  in  ad- 
vance. 

Such  planning  should  lead  to  a  systematic  program 
of  saving  for  the  future  college  expenses  of  our  child- 
ren. Yet  too  few  parents  have  such  savings  programs, 
and  many  of  those  who  do  are  not  saving  enough. 

Every  parent  owes  it  to  his  children  to  consider 
early  where  the  money  for  college  will  come  from. 
Few  families  in  the  nation  can  see  their  children 
through  college  without  sacrifice  of  some  sort  —  either 
long-term  or  short.  But  the  rewards  are  great,  and 
of  lifelong  duration.

ALUMNI    DAY,   TOO 

Plans  for  Susquehanna's  1963 
Alumni    Day    are    already    taking 


shape.  John  Hendricks  '57,  direct- 
or of  alumni  relations,  and  Ron 
Fouche  '57,  committee  chairman, 
have  announced  that  the  festivities 
are  being  patterned  somewhat  af- 
ter the  highly  successful  1962 
schedule  which  saw  a  number  of 
innovations  on  the  day's  card. 

The  date  is  May  4  and,  for  the 
third  consecutive  year,  events  will 
take  place  in  a  huge  (larger  than 
last  year)  circus  tent.  Once  again, 
a  main  feature  will  be  the  Reunion 
and  Awards  Luncheon.  And  once 
again  a  Broadway  musical  comedy 
will  be  presented  by  a  student 
group  under  the  direction  of  Fran- 
ces Alterman  and  James  Steffy. 
The  show:  the  unforgettable  and 
ever-popular  "Brigadoon." 

All  S.  U.  alumni  will  want  to  mark 
their  calendars  for  Saturday.  May 
4-Alumni  Day  for  1963.  And,  also 
on  the  subject  of  calendar-marking. 
1963's  Homecoming  will  be  held 
on  October  26.

Judged  by  any  standards,  the  1962  football  season 
must  be  considered  the  greatest  in  Susquehanna  Uni- 
versity's long  gridiron  history,  which  dates  back  70 
years  to  1892. 

The  '62  Crusaders  won  more  games  (9)  than  any 
previous  Susquehanna  team,  were  undefeated  for  the 
second  consecutive  year,  won  the  championship  of  the 
Middle  Atlantic  Conference  Northern  College  Divi- 
sion for  the  second  year  in  a  row,  and  became  the  pos- 
sessor of  the  longest  unbeaten  streak  of  any  college- 
large  or  small— in  the  nation. 

This  distinction  came  to  Susquehanna  on  the  final 
day  of  the  season,  when  the  Orange  and  Maroon 
stretched  its  streak  to  22  games  by  smothering  Dela- 
ware Valley  51-3.  On  the  same  day,  Georgia  Tech 
scored  a  7-6  upset  over  Alabama,  ending  Alabama's 
string  at  26  games.  The  Crusaders  were  held  to  a  7-7 
tie  by  Oberlin  in  1961,  but  they  haven't  been  defeated 


since  October  15,  I960  when  they  were  nipped  by  Up- 
sala,  8-7. 

Only  one  other  team  in  university  history  managed 
to  complete  an  undefeated  and  untied  season.  That 
was  the  1951  squad,  coached  by  Amos  Alonzo  Stagg 
Jr.  and  Sr.,  which  played  only  six  games.  S.U.  actual- 
ly can  boast  of  a  total  of  five  undefeated  teams,  but 
three  of  them  had  to  settle  for  one  tie  game.  The  1932 
squad,  coached  by  William  W.  Ullery,  won  seven 
games  and  played  to  a  0-0  tie  with  Pennsylvania  Mili- 
tary College.  The  1940  team,  led  by  A.  A.  Stagg  Jr., 
posted  an  identical  record,  including  a  scoreless  tie 
with  Juniata  College,  and  the  1961  Crusaders,  coached 
by  the  present  mentor,  James  W.  Garrett,  wound  up 
with  an  8-0-1  mark,  including  the  tie  with  Oberlin. 

The  1962  team  outscored  its  nine  opponents  by  242 
to  50  points  and  outgained  them  by  3,069  to  1,318 
yards.     Trinity   College  was   the  only   team   to   score

SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


At  the  annual  Football  Banquet 
sponsored  by  Selinsgrove's  Crusad- 
er Quarterback  Club,  power-driving 
fullback  Larry  Kerstetter  lat  right) 
received  the  President's  Cup  as 
the  season's  Most  Valuable  Player 
from  Dr.  Weber.  Kerstetter  and 
quarterback  Don  Green  were 
named       co-captains       for       1963.

more  than  one  touchdown  against  the  Crusaders,  who 
won  their  first  three  games  by  shutouts.  In  the  final 
Lambert  Cup  ratings,  S.U.  ranked  sixth. 

These  are  impressive  statistics,  but  they  are  some- 
what misleading  if  they  suggest  that  Susquehanna  won 
all  of  its  games  with  ease.  The  Crusaders  had  three 
hair-raisingly  close  contests  with  Lycoming  (3-0), 
Wagner    (14-7)    and  Trinity    (20-16). 

The  S.U. -Lycoming  clash  was  a  bruising  defensive 
battle  marked  by  vicious  tackling  by  both  teams. 
Senior  linebacker  and  place-kicking  specialist  Tom 
Samuel  finally  won  it  for  the  Crusaders  with  a  36-yard 
field  goal  in  the  fourth  quarter. 

Wagner's  Seahawks  came  to  Selinsgrove  to  pro- 
vide the  opposition  in  Susquehanna's  Homecoming 
game  and  almost  spoiled  the  occasion.  Sparked  of- 
fensively by  the  accurate  passing  of  sophomore 
quarterback  Dan  Couglin,  Wagner  became  the  first 
team  to  score  against  the  Crusaders.  With  about  four 
minutes  remaining  and  the  score  tied  at  7-7,  the  Sea- 
hawks  also  got  tough  on  defense  and  stopped  a  Sus- 
quehanna drive  inches  from  the  Wagner  goal.  How- 
ever, the  Crusaders  forced  Wagner  to  fumble  on  the 
next  play  and  Susquehanna  center  John  Rowlands 
recovered.  Sophomore  halfback  Larry  Erdman  then 
dashed  across  with  the  winning  touchdown. 

Trinity,  which  has  been  coached  for  the  past  30 
years  by  Dan  Jessee,  a  former  major  league  infielder 
with  the  Cleveland  Indians,  was  perhaps  the  best  all- 
around  team  that  Susquehanna  faced  all  season.  S.U. 
opened  the  scoring— when  Erdman  broke  loose  for  a 
73-yard  touchdown  run— and  led  throughout  the  game, 
but  Trinity's  dangerous  offense  kept  the  issue  in  doubt 
until  the  last  few  seconds  of  play. 

A  series  of  costly  injuries  hampered  Susquehanna 
in  the  early  part  of  the  season.     Senior  team  captain 


John  Luscko  and  junior  Terry  Kissinger,  who  were 
Susquehanna's  regular  halfbacks  in  1961,  both  missed 
several  games  this  year  and  had  to  be  used  sparingly 
in  others.  Roger  Forgerson,  a  promising  sophomore 
end,  suffered  a  badly  wrenched  knee  in  the  second 
game  (against  Ursinus)  and  did  not  play  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  season. 

Largely  as  a  result  of  these  injuries,  Susquehanna's 
offense  did  not  jell  until  about  mid-season.  S.U.  reeled 
off  308  yards  rushing  in  its  22-8  victory  over  Western 
Maryland,  which  incidentally  was  the  only  loss  that 
the  Green  Terrors  suffered  this  year. 

During  the  rest  of  the  season,  Susquehanna's  ex- 
plosive ground  game  was  a  thing  of  sheer  power  and 
beauty.  The  Crusaders  reeled  off  357  yards  rushing 
against  Trinity,  416  yards  in  a  42-7  rout  of  Oberlin,  388 
yards  in  a  46-9  triumph  over  Union,  and  419  yards  in 
a  season-ending  51-3  slaughter  of  Delaware  Valley.  In 
these  last  five  games,  the  S.U.  juggernaut  racked  up  a 
staggering  total  of  1,888  yards  on  the  ground  for  an 
average  of  378  per  game. 

Although  Susquehanna's  1962  achievements  were 
primarily  the  result  of  a  team  effort,  the  Crusaders  did 
not  lack  individual  honors  either.  Junior  fullback 
Larry  Kerstetter  was  named  to  the  first  team  of  the 
Associated  Press  All-State  squad,  Rowlands  was  named 
to  the  third  team  and  Erdman,  junior  quarterback  Don 
Green  and  sophomore  guard  Richie  Caruso  were  hon- 
orable mention  selections.  Erdman  and  Kerstetter  also 
were  named  to  the  Southern  College  Division  All-Star 
team  of  the  Eastern  College  Athletic  Conference. 

In  addition,  Kerstetter  and  Erdman  led  a  double- 
barreled  assault  which  practically  rewrote  the  univer- 
sity's record  books.  The  fleet-footed  Erdman  gained 
757  yards  to  shatter  Susquehanna's  old  single-season 
record  of  660  yards  bv  Bob  Bastress  in  1938.     Kerstet-

High-flying  on  the  gridiron,  the  Crusad- 
ers did  some  high  flying  in  the  air,  too — 
to  the  Oberlin,  Trinity  and  Union 
games.  Here  they  are  shown  boarding 
their    plane    at   the    Williamsport    Airport. 


ter  was  second  to  Erdman  in  rushing  with  583  yards 
and  first  in  scoring  with  74  points,  three  more  than 
Susquehanna's  previous  all-time  single-season  record 
of  71  set  by  Rich  Young  in  1951. 

Although  he  has  another  full  season  remaining, 
Kerstetter  already  has  gained  more  yards  and  scored 
more  points  in  his  career  than  any  other  player  in  S.U. 
history.  His  total  of  1,628  yards  rushing  tops  the  prev- 
ious record  of  1,517  by  Bastress,  who  played  at  Sus- 
quehanna in  1933,  '34,  '37,  and  '38.     Kerstetter's  total 


of  160  points  is  well  above  the  131  scored  by  Young 
in  the  '50  through  '52  seasons. 

Quarterback  Green  may  not  have  broken  any 
records,  but  his  '62  statistics  also  are  very  impressive. 
Green  rushed  for  a  total  of  527  yards  and  gained  an 
average  of  7.4  yards  each  time  he  carried  the  ball. 

Susquehanna's  fabulous  football  achievements  are 
perhaps  even  more  striking  when  they  are  considered 
over  a  three-year  period.  In  the  three  seasons  that 
Garrett— an  ex-Xational  Football  League  player  with 
the  Philadelphia  Eagles  and  New  York  Giants— has 
been  head  coach,  the  Crusaders  have  won  24  games, 
lost  only  1  and  tied  1.  A  season-by-season  breakdown 
of  this  golden  era  shows  that  S.U.  was  7-1-0  in  1960, 
8-0-1  in  1961  and  9-0-0  in  1962. 

Susquehanna  should  have  another  small-college 
grid  powerhouse  next  season  since  only  three  of  the 
players  from  the  "62  squad  —  Luscko,  Samuel  and 
tackle  Neal  Markle— will  be  lost  through  graduation, 
while  17  lettermen  are  expected  to  return.  However, 
Coach  Garrett  and  his  staff  look  forward  with  some 
misgivings  to  a  1963  schedule  which  Garrett  calls  "mur- 
derous." Only  four  of  S.U.'s  nine  1962  opponents  will 
play  the  Crusaders  again  next  year.  The  five  new 
foes  had  a  cumulative  record  this  season  of  26  wins  and 
16  losses.  Washington  &  Lee  led  the  way  with  a  7-1 
log,  followed  by  Juniata  (6-2).  Youngstown  (6-3), 
Alfred  (4-4)  and  Temple  (3-6).       The  '63  schedule:

GIFT  FROM   HARRISBURG  CLUB 
PUSHES  FUND  OVER  THE  TOP! 

The  photo  at  right  is  an 
historic  one  indeed.  It 
shows  Marjorie  Stapleton 
Deibert  '46,  president  of 
the  Harrisburg  District 
Alumni  Club,  presenting 
Alumni  Director  John 
Hendricks  '57  with  a  check 
for  $500-Harrisburg  Club's 
President's  Club  member- 
ship in  the  1962  Alumni 
Loyalty  Fund. 

This  contribution  made 
the  difference  between  fail- 
ure   and    success    for    the 

Fund,  bringing  its  total,  in  the  waning  days  of  1962,  to  $35,103— 
just  over  the  $.35,000  goal  and  more  than  $8000  over  1961's 
$27,066. 

Harrisburg  Club  is  certainly  to  be  congratulated  for  making 
such  creative  and  timely  use  of  funds  accumulated  over  the 
years.  The  money  is  now  in  an  interest-bearing  fund  of  some 
$75,000  which  is  set  aside  for  Susquehanna's  new  field  house 
and  swimming  pool.  Thanks  to  Harrisburg  and  thanks  to  all 
donors  to  the  1962  Fund. 

Now  officially  closed  out,  the  1962  Loyalty  Fund  represents 
gifts  from  1138  persons  and  groups,  with  an  average  gift  of 
$30.85.  The  President's  Club,  with  gifts  of  $500  or  more,  has  a 
membership  of  15;  143  joined  the  Century  Club  by  giving  $100 
or  more. 

Of  the  total  number  of  donors,  1101  are  S.  U.  alumni.  This 
is  nearly  29  percent  of  current,  living  alumni— and  compares 
with  5.7  percent  participation  in  1959,  13.9  percent  in  1960,  and 
21.2  percent  in  1961.  A  truly  marvelous  rate  of  growth  for  which 
Susquehanna,  alumni  leaders  and  the  1962  Fund  Committee  are 
warmly  grateful!

A  New  Alumni  Directory  .  .  . 

has  been  prepared  for  you.  The  first  to  be  published 
since  1954,  Susquehanna's  new  Directory  contains  up- 
to-date  addresses  of  all  known  living  alumni— and  it's 
divided  into  four  sections  for  easy  and  useful  reference: 
a  complete  Alphabetical  List,  with  addresses;  a  Geo- 
graphical List,  for  selecting  alumni  according  to  where 
they  live;  Class  Lists,  starting  'way  back  in  1858;  and  a 
listing  of  all  Honorary  Degree  holders.  The  new  edi- 
tion will  be  available  on  May  4,  Alumni  Day,  for  over- 
the-counter  sales  at  $1.50  per  copy.  Mail  order  copies 
are  priced  at  $1.75  each,  postpaid.  You  won't  want  to 
be  without  one— an  order  coupon  appears  on  page  35 
of  this  Alumnus.    Use  it  today! 


A  quickie  on  the  1963  Loyalty  Fund:  To-date, 
there  is  reason  for  both  optimism  and  pessimism.  Re- 
ceipts are  running  about  neck-and-neck  with  last  year's, 
which  is  fine.  And  which  makes  the  committee  happy. 
But  the  1963  goal  is  $5,000  higher  than  that  for  1962 
($40,000  vs.  $35,000) -which  means  we  should  be  do- 
ing a  bit  better  at  this  point.  On  March  15,  there  were 
11  President's  Club  members,  compared  with  13  last 
year;  and  there  were  82  Century  Club  members,  up 
from  68  at  the  same  time  last  year.  There's  a  big  job 
ahead— but  the  committee  feels  that  if  $30,000  can  be 
realized  by  Alumni  Day,  there's  a  very  good  chance 
that  the  goal  will  be  reached.  This  makes  your  gift 
doubly  important.  If  you  haven't  yet  contributed,  why 
not  do  so  today?  We  haven't  failed  to  exceed  our  goal 
in  any  of  the  past  three  years,  and  Susquehanna  needs 
our  help  now  more  than  ever  before.    Many  thanks.

IT  TAKES 

A  LOT  OF  PEOPLE 


Alumni   Day  committees,  speakers,  entertainers, 
and     staff    cooperate     in     program     for    May     4 


It  takes  a  lot  of  people  to  plan,  promote  and  conduct 
a  big  event.  At  Susquehanna,  Alumni  Day  is  one  of 
the  biggest  events  of  each  year,  and  a  conservative  es- 
timate is  that  more  than  100  persons  are  directly  in- 
volved in  helping  to  make  the  day  one  to  be  remem- 
bered by  all  who  make  the  visit  back  to  Selinsgrove 
for  its  observance. 

The  list  is  long,  beginning  with  the  committee 
members  and  including  actors,  actresses,  singers,  di- 
rectors, cooks,  waiters,  professors,  student  guides, 
speakers,  musicians,  secretaries,  printers,  prop  men, 
chair-movers,  picker-uppers,  and  so  on— to  say  nothing 
of  several  hundred  additional  students,  faculty  and 
staff  members  who  play  somewhat  lesser  roles  in  car- 
rying out  details  which  contribute  to  the  total  program. 

Of  equal  importance  is  each  and  every  alumnus 
and  former  student  who  attends,  for  each  person's 
presence  has  meaning  and  significance  for  someone 
else. 

Even  a  cursory  look  at  this  year's  schedule  of 
events,  page  6,  is  sufficient  to  show  that  a  good  deal  of 
talent  will  be  on  hand  for  Alumni  Day,  May  4,  1963. 
The  program  includes  a  number  of  events  being  repeat- 
ed because  of  past  successes  or  popular  demand,  as 
well  as  several  innovations— all  designed  to  make  this 
"the  biggest  one  yet." 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the  key  people,  the  prime- 
movers,  the  more  familiar  faces  you'll  see  as  you  move 
about  the  campus  taking  part  in  Alumni  Day  1963.  .  . 

Ron  Fouche  and  his  busy  committee,  and  the 
chairmen  of  10  five-year  classes  holding  their  reun- 
ions. The  50-year  class  of  1913  is  chaired  by  retired 
pastor  R.  L.  Lubold,  who  will  offer  the  invocation  at 
the  Alumni  Luncheon  under  the  big  tent  .  .  .  the  casts 
of  two  big  productions— the  Rroadway  musical,  "Brig- 


adoon,"  in  which  leading  roles  are  sung  by  Arlene 
Roberts  and  Nate  Ward  (who,  as  president  of  the  class, 
will  present  the  1963  class  gift  at  the  luncheon);  and 
Shakespeare's  "Twelfth  Night,"  with  veteran  student 
performers  including  John  Pignatore,  known  by  some 
alumni  for  his  Shakespearean  readings  offered  at  dis- 
trict club  meetings  .  .  . 

Faculty  Forum  speakers  Dr.  William  Russ,  pro- 
fessor of  history;  Dr.  Benjamin  Lotz,  associate  profes- 
sor of  religion  and  philosophy;  Warren  Pirie,  director 


These  are  among  the  many  who  are  planning  S.  U.'s  gala  Alumni 
Day  for  1963,  seared:  Committee  Chairman  Ron  Fouche 
'57,  Louise  Mehring  Koontz  '35,  1918  Reunion  Chairman  Evelyn 
Strohecker,  John  Hendricks  '57.  Standing:  1958  Chairman  Jim 
White,  1953  Chairman  Dave  Bennett,  Simon  Rhoads  '30,  1928 
Chairman  Harold  Ditiler,  Nate  Ward  '63,  1913  Chairman 
R.  L.  Lubold.  Other  reunion  chairmen  are  Bob  Wohlsen  '48, 
Harry  Wilcox  '43,  Preston  Smith  '38,  Josephine  Hoy  Lamb  '33, 
and  Beatrice  Rettinger  '23.

A  Call    For  Volunteers 

Webster  defines  the  volunteer  as  "One  who  enters 
into,  or  offers  himself  for,  any  service  of  his  own  free 
will."  Probably  the  most  important  word  in  this  defin- 
ition is  "sen  ice."  The  desire  to  perform  a  specific  task 
or  involve  oneself  in  an  endeavor  solely  for  the  benefit 
of  others  is  a  rare  quality  indeed.  Too  often  the  poten- 
tial contributor  of  service  sits  back  waiting  for  the  task 
to  be  done  by  others.  How  many  times  has  this  man 
said  to  himself  and  others  that  a  particular  cause  or 
goal  is  a  good  one,  and  yet  when  asked  to  serve  he  is 
usually  too  busy?  Once  the  task  is  completed  and  a 
specific  need  is  met— then  everyone  can  share  in  the 
benefits  obtained  through  the  work  of  a  few.  We  are 
sure  this  man  will  want  to  share  in  the  benefits  and 
more  than  likely  his  children  will  also!  Why  then  does 
he  find  it  so  difficult  to  volunteer  his  services  to  help 
accomplish  the  ends  which  will  eventually  result  in 
such  benefits?  This  question  is  best  left  unanswered. 
Our  primary  aim  is  to  cause  a  self -evaluation  which  we 
hope  will  result  in  an  ever-increasing  number  of 
volunteers. 

We  of  Susquehanna  can  point  with  pride  to  a 
group  of  over  two  hundred  people  who  have  volun- 
teered their  services  in  support  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion and  ultimately  the  University.  It  was  not  always 
this  way!  Prior  to  1959  there  was  little  more  than  a 
handful  of  persons  who  could  be  called  upon  to  assist 
in  committee  work,  student  recruiting,  fund  raising, 
etc.  The  vigor  that  has  since  developed  must  be  at- 
tributed to  the  specific  goals  established  and  the  re- 
lentless effort  put  forth  by  the  starting  few!  Once  the 
bandwagon  started  to  roll,  more  and  more  Susquehan- 
nans  climbed  aboard.  These  people  wanted  to  help— 
thev  wanted  to  serve.  The  enthusiasm  they  have  dis- 
played thus  far  has  resulted  in  progress  never  before 
seen  at  Susquehanna.  We  are  confident  that  such  pro- 
gress will  continue. 

Recently  we  learned  that  a  Selinsgrove  alumnus,  a 
man  who  graduated  shortly  after  the  turn  of  the  cen- 
tury, hopes  to  donate  time  and  service  to  the  University. 
He  has  volunteered  two  days  of  each  week  to  work  on 
the  campus.  Another  man,  an  alumnus  from  Ashland, 
Pa.,  has  been  responsible  for  the  eventual  matriculation 
of  no  less  than  eighty  students  at  Susquehanna.  This 
man  is  an  educator  and  a  volunteer  of  services  to  his 
alma  mater.  A  third  man,  an  alumnus  from  the  Phila- 
delphia area,  spends  much  of  his  time  traveling,  yet  still 


finds  time  to  serve  as  a  University  director,  a  Loyalty 
Fund  worker  and  an  active  club  member.  These  are 
just  a  few  of  the  "volunteers"  who  serve  and  serve  well 
in  the  cause  of  higher  education  at  Susquehanna. 

What  about  the  immediate  future-1963  and  1964? 
Will  there  be  enough  volunteers  to  handle  the  alumni 
programs  during  these  years?  Will  we  have  sufficient 
help  on  the  annual  Loyalty  Fund?  Will  too  many 
people  be  too  busy?  Or  can  we  expect  continued  suc- 
cess in  this  respect  also? 

Often  in  the  past  we  have  heard  the  remark, 
"They've  never  asked  me  to  help!"  Rather  than  miss 
this  opportunity,  we  are  now  putting  forth  a  call  for 
volunteers!  We're  calling  on  you!  The  only  prerequi- 
site is  a  genuine  desire  to  serve.  The  only  compensa- 
tion is  satisfaction.    The  only  possible  result  is  success. 

If  you  have  an  earnest  desire  to  assist  in  strength- 
ening your  alma  mater  and  would  like  to  be  a  part  of 
the  alumni  team,  just  write  to  the  Alumni  Office.  Your 
time  and  talent  can  be  put  to  use  in  the  cause  of  higher 
education.  One  day,  one  week,  one  month— you  be  the 
volunteer! 

An   Alumni    Evaluation   Team 

Your  alma  mater  is  presently  undergoing  an  evalu- 
ation by  members  of  the  Middle  States  Association  of 
Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools.  It  is  designed  to 
bring  about  a  critical  self-appraisal  of  the  University, 
its  staff  and  facilities.  The  eventual  results  will  be 
utilized  in  reaffirming  our  accreditation  by  the  Middle 
States  organization.  There  is  little  doubt  of  the  value 
derived  from  such  an  appraisal  particularly  since  it  is 
the  University  itself  which  must  stand  before  the  look- 
ing glass  and  observe  its  own  strengths  and  weak- 
nesses. 

Since  we  are  seeking  an  "honest  reflection"  we 
have  decided  to  go  one  step  further.  At  a  recent  meet- 
ing of  alumni  it  was  suggested  that  an  evaluation  team 
comprised  solely  of  alumni  be  utilized  to  supplement 
the  appraisal  made  by  Middle  States.  The  suggestion 
was  accepted  and  a  committee  appointed  to  select 
members  of  the  team. 

A  review  of  the  chosen  Susquehannans  shows  a  ge- 
ographic distribution  of  22  states.  They  are  active  in 
almost  every  profession  and  represent  every  Susque- 
hanna graduating  class  from   1930  through   1949.     In 


APRIL    1963 


many  instances  these  people  have  not  had  an  opportun- 
ity to  return  to  campus  in  recent  years  and  as  a  result, 
should  be  in  an  excellent  position  to  appraise  the  pres- 
ent campus  in  light  of  the  past. 

Acting  on  the  committee's  suggested  agenda,  the 
program  has  been  set  for  October  18-19,  1963.  The 
two  clays  will  be  spent  in  class  visitations,  campus  tours 
of  facilities,  chapel  attendance,  discussion  periods  with 
faculty,  administration  and  students,  and  finally  (for 
recreation)  attendance  at  the  Washington  &  Lee  vs. 
S.  U.  football  game. 

During  the  next  few  weeks,  President  Weber  will 
be  extending  a  personal  invitation  to  each  selected  mem- 


ber of  the  Alumni  Evaluation  Team.  These  team  mem- 
bers and  their  wives  or  husbands  will  be  guests  of  Sus- 
quehanna throughout  the  evaluation  period. 

The  Alumni  Evaluation  Team  idea  is  a  new  one 
for  us.  It  has  been  utilized  by  other  universities  with 
much  success  and  in  all  instances  has  clearly  shown  the 
interest  most  alumni  have  for  their  alma  mater.  Dur- 
ing the  past  few  years  Susquehanna  has  stepped  out 
in  front  in  every  possible  respect.  There  is  still  much 
to  be  accomplished  and  it  is  only  through  an  interest- 
ed alumni  body  that  many  of  the  goals  will  be  attained. 
The  Evaluation  Team's  efforts  will  be  a  part  of  Susque- 
hanna's accomplishments.

SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


Basketball  Team  Wins  20 


Crusaders    have    good    season    but    are 
second     best     to     Hofstra     in     playoffs 


A  new  Susquehanna  University 

record  for  games  won  in  a  single 
season  and  an  11-game  winning 
streak  were  two  of  the  highlights 
of  an  outstanding  basketball  cam- 
paign at  S.  U. 

The  1962-63  Crusaders,  coached 
by  John  E.  Barr,  turned  in  a  glit- 
tering record  of  20  victories  and  4 
losses.  They  were  undefeated  in 
12  home  games  and  for  a  part  of 
the  season  they  seemed  almost  un- 
beatable as  they  reeled  off  11  con- 
secutive triumphs. 

The  streak  began  on  January  5 
with  an  81-50  victory  over  Albright 
and  ended  February  16  with  a  51-72 
loss  to  Hofstra— a  team  which  prov- 
ed to  be  S.U.'s  nemesis,  also  defeat- 
ing the  Crusaders  (50-65)  in  the 
championship  game  of  the  Middle 


Atlantic  Conference  College  Divi- 
sion playoffs. 

No  previous  Susquehanna  team 
had  ever  won  more  than  17  games 
in  a  single  season  —  that  was  the 
1960-61  squad,  which  included 
three  members  of  this  season's 
starting  five,  Clark  Mosier,  Bill 
Moore  and  Jim  Gallagher. 

A  special  tribute  should  be  paid 
to  this  trio,  all  of  whom  will  grad- 
uate in  June  after  playing  four  out- 
standing seasons  of  varsity  ball  to- 
gether. During  these  four  years, 
Susquehanna  teams  compiled  a 
cumulative  record  of  61  triumphs 
and  only  26  losses. 

Mosier  completed  his  superb 
career  with  a  total  of  1,801  points, 
by  far  the  most  ever  accumulat- 
ed by  an  S.U.  player.     In  87  var- 


Semor   co-captains   this    year   were    Bill    Moore,    Shamokin;    Clark 
Mosier,  Dallas;  and  Jim  Gallagher,  Centralia,  all   Pennsylvanians. 


Longest  Crusader  hoopster  is  6'8" 
Tom  McCarrick,  junior  center, 
from    Millport,    near    Elmira,    N.    Y. 


sity  contests,  he  averaged  20.7 
points.  Although  his  scoring  aver- 
age dropped  from  a  sizzling  28.3 
in  his  junior  year  to  16.5  in  his  sen- 
ior campaign,  he  became  better  as 
a  team  player  and  playmaker. 

Moore,  the  30-year-old  father  of 
four  from  economically-depressed 
Shamokin,  ranks  as  the  greatest  re- 
bounder  in  Susquehanna  history, 
with  a  four-year  total  of  1,176  car- 
oms (also  in  87  games)  for  an  av- 
erage of  13.4  per  contest.  He  also 
scored  1182  points  (13.6  a  game). 

Gallagher  was  not  far  behind 
with  a  career  total  of  976  rebounds 
(11.5)  and  734  points  (8.8)  for  83 
varsity  games.  One  of  the  most  ac- 
curate  shooters    Susquehanna   has 


APRIL    1963 


ever  produced,  he  sank  61.9  per 
cent  of  his  field  goal  attempts  as  a 
sophomore  and  56.3  per  cent  as  a 
senior. 

The  1962-63  team  also  gained 
prominence  as  one  of  the  top  ten 
small-college  defensive  clubs  in  the 
nation,  allowing  its  opponents  on- 
ly 50.5  points  per  contest.  The 
Crusaders  scored  at  a  67.1  p.p.g. 
pace  and  ourrebounded  their  foes 
by  50  to  34.8  per  game. 

Another  sparkling  achievement 
was  a  62-54  victory  over  Westmin- 
ster College  on  Westminster's  court 
in  New  Wilmington,  Pa.  Press 
polls  rated  Westminster  the  No.  1 
small-college  team  in  the  nation  at 
the  beginning  of  the  season. 

But  despite  all  of  this,  the  cam- 
paign was  not  without  its  disap- 
pointments. Conference  losses  to 
Wagner  and  Hofstra  forced  the 
Crusaders  to  settle  for  second  place 
in  the  MAC's  Northern  College  Di- 
vision. In  fact,  they  would  have 
dropped  to  third  if  Juniata  College 
had  not  scored  a  68-67  upset  tri- 
umph over  Elizabethtown.  Then, 
the  loss  to  Hofstra  in  the  playoffs 
deprived  S.U.  of  a  coveted  berth 
in  the  NCAA's  nationwide  small- 
college  tournament. 

Nevertheless,  a  20-4  record  is 
still  mighty  impressive.  Coming 
on  the  heels  of  S.U.'s  undefeated 
football  season,  it  added  lustre  to 
a  great  athletic  year. 


The  graduation  of  Georgiann  "Toby" 
Brodisch  will  be  felt  as  keenly  by  next 
season's  women's  basketball  team  as 
Clark  Mosier's  loss  to  the  men's  team. 
Miss  Brodisch  sparked  the  Crusaderettes 
to  a  9-4  record  this  season  and  was  the 
leading  scorer  last  fall  on  the  undefeated 
women's  field  hockey  team.  Betsy  Mc- 
Dowell, women's  basketball  coach,  de- 
clares: "Toby  is  the  best  girl  player  I've 
ever  seen."  In  her  final  collegiate  game. 
Miss  Brodisch  scored  21  points  and  made 
two  foul  shots  with  15  seconds  remain- 
ing to  give  S.  U.  a  44-43  victory  over  the 
Bloomsburg  State  College  girls.  In  the 
third  quarter  of  the  game,  her  glasses 
were  shattered  and  as  a  precautionary 
measure,  her  eyes  were  carefully  washed 
in  the  locker  room.  She  played  the  last 
quarter  and  scored  the  winning  points 
while   wearing    sun-glasses.

WHAT 
RIGHT 

HAS 
THIS 

MAN... 


he  holds  a  position  of  power  equaled  by  few  occu- 
pations in  our  society. 

His  influence  upon  the  rest  of  us — and  upon  our 
children — is  enormous. 

His  place  in  society  is  so  critical  that  no  totali- 
tarian state  would  (or  does)  trust  him  fully.  Yet  in 
our  country  his  fellow  citizens  grant  him  a  greater 
degree  of  freedom  than  they  grant  even  to  them- 
selves. 

He  is  a  college  teacher.  It  would  be  difficult  to 
exaggerate  the  power  that  he  holds. 

►  He  originates  a  large  part  of  our  society's  new 
ideas  and  knowledge. 

►  He  is  the  interpreter  and  disseminator  of  the 
knowledge  we  have  inherited  from  the  past. 

►  He  makes  discoveries  in  science  that  can  both 
kill  us  and  heal  us. 

►  He  develops  theories  that  can  change  our  eco- 
nomics, our  politics,  our  social  structures. 

►  As  the  custodian,  discoverer,  challenger,  tester, 
and  interpreter  of  knowledge  he  then  enters  a  class- 
room and  tells  our  young  people  what  he  knows — or 
what  he  thinks  he  knows — and  thus  influences  the 
thinking  of  millions. 

What  right  has  this  man  to  such  power  and  in- 
fluence? 

Who  supervises  him,  to  whom  we  entrust  so 
much? 

Do  we  the  people?  Do  we,  the  parents  whose 
children  he  instructs,  the  regents  or  trustees  whose 
institutions  he  staffs,  the  taxpayers  and  philan- 
thropists by  whose  money  he  is  sustained? 

On  the  contrary:  We  arm  him  with  safeguards 
against  our  doing  so. 

What  can  we  be  thinking  of,  to  permit  such  a 
system  as  this?

HclVinQ     idG3S    an(*  disseminating  them,  is  a 

risky  business.  It  has  always 

been  so — and  therein  lies  a  strange  paradox.  The  march 

of  civilization  has  been  quick  or  slow  in  direct  ratio  to 


the  production,  testing,  and  acceptance  of  ideas;  yet 
virtually  all  great  ideas  were  opposed  when  they  were 
introduced.  Their  authors  and  teachers  have  been  cen- 
sured,   ostracized,   exiled,    martyred,    and    crucified — 


usually  because  the  ideas  clashed  with  an  accepted  set 
of  beliefs  or  prejudices  or  with  the  interests  of  a  ruler 
or  privileged  class. 

Are  we  wiser  and  more  receptive  to  ideas  today? 


Even  in  the  Western  world,  although  methods  of  pun- 
ishment have  been  refined,  the  propagator  of  a  new 
idea  may  find  himself  risking  his  social  status,  his  politi- 
cal acceptability,  his  job,  and  hence  his  very  livelihood. 


For  the  teacher:  special 
risks,  special  rights 


Normally,  in  our  society,  we  are  wary  of  per- 
sons whose  positions  give  them  an  oppor- 
tunity to  exert  unusual  power  and  influence. 

But  we  grant  the  college  teacher  a  degree  of 
freedom  far  greater  than  most  of  the  rest  of  us 
enjoy. 

Our  reasoning  comes  from  a  basic  fact  about  our 
civilization: 

Its  vitality  flows  from,  and  is  sustained  by,  ideas. 

Ideas  in  science,  ideas  in  medicine,  ideas  in  poli- 
tics. Ideas  that  sometimes  rub  people  the  wrong 
way.  Ideas  that  at  times  seem  pointless.  Ideas  that 
may  alarm,  when  first  broached.  Ideas  that  may  be 
so  novel  or  revolutionary  that  some  persons  may 
propose  that  they  be  suppressed.  Ideas — all  sorts — 
that  provide  the  sinews  of  our  civilization. 

They  will  be  disturbing.   Often  they  will  irritate. 

But  the  more  freely  they  are  produced — and  the 
more  rigorously  they  are  tested — the  more  surely 
will  our  civilization  stay  alive. 

THIS  IS  the  theory.  Applying  it,  man  has  de- 
veloped institutions  for  the  specific  purpose  of 
incubating,  nourishing,  evaluating,  and  spread- 
ing ideas.  They  are  our  colleges  and  universities.  As 
their  function  is  unique,  so  is  the  responsibility  with 
which  we  charge  the  man  or  woman  who  staffs  them. 

We  give  the  college  teacher  the  professional  duty 
of  pursuing  knowledge — and  of  conveying  it  to  oth- 
ers— with  complete  honesty  and  open-mindedness. 
We  tell  him  to  find  errors  in  what  we  now  know. 
We  tell  him  to  plug  the  gaps  in  it.  We  tell  him  to 
add  new  material  to  it. 

We  tell  him  to  do  these  things  without  fear  of  the 
consequences  and  without  favor  to  any  interest  save 
the  pursuit  of  truth. 

We  know — and  he  knows — that  to  meet  this  re- 
sponsibility may  entail  risk  for  the  college  teacher. 
The  knowledge  that  he  develops  and  then  teaches  to 
others  will  frequently  produce  ground-shaking  re- 
sults. 

It  will  lead  at  times  to  weapons  that  at  the  press 
of  a  button  can  erase  human  fives.  Conversely,  it 
will  lead  at  other  times  to  medical  miracles  that 
will  save  human  lives.   It  may  unsettle  theology,  as 


did  Darwinian  biology  in  the  late  1800's,  and  as  did 
countless  other  discoveries  in  earlier  centuries.  Con- 
versely, it  may  confirm  or  strengthen  the  elements 
of  one's  faith.  It  will  produce  intensely  personal 
results:  the  loss  of  a  job  to  automation  or,  con- 
versely, the  creation  of  a  job  in  a  new  industry. 

Dealing  in  ideas,  the  teacher  may  be  subjected  to 
strong,  and  at  times  bitter,  criticism.  It  may  come 
from  unexpected  quarters:  even  the  man  or  woman 
who  is  well  aware  that  free  research  and  education 
are  essential  to  the  common  good  may  become 
understandably  upset  when  free  research  and  edu- 
cation affect  his  own  livelihood,  his  own  customs, 
his  own  beliefs. 

And,  under  stress,  the  critics  may  attempt  to 
coerce  the  teacher.  The  twentieth  century  has  its 
own  versions  of  past  centuries'  persecutions:  social 
ostracism  for  the  scholar,  the  withdrawal  of  finan- 
cial support,  the  threat  of  political  sanctions,  an 
attempt  to  deprive  the  teacher  of  his  job. 

Wherever  coercion  has  been  widely  applied — in 
Nazi  Germany,  in  the  Soviet  Union — the  develop- 
ment of  ideas  has  been  seriously  curtailed.    Were 


such  coercion  to  succeed  here,  the  very  sinews  of  our 
civilization  would  be  weakened,  leaving  us  without 
strength. 

WE  recognize  these  facts.   So  we  have  de- 
veloped special  safeguards  for  ideas,  by 
developing  special  safeguards  for  him  who 
fosters  ideas:  the  college  teacher. 


We  have  developed  these  safeguards  in  the  calm 
(and  civilized)  realization  that  they  are  safeguards 
against  our  own  impetuousness  in  times  of  stress. 
They  are  a  declaration  of  our  willingness  to  risk  the 
consequences  of  the  scholar's  quest  for  truth.  They 
are,  in  short,  an  expression  of  our  belief  that  we 
should  seek  the  truth  because  the  truth,  in  time, 
shall  make  us  free. 


What  the  teacher's 
special  rights  consist  of 


The  special  freedom  that  we  grant  to  a 
college  teacher  goes  beyond  anything  guaran- 
teed by  law  or  constitution. 

As  a  citizen  like  the  rest  of  us,  he  has  the  right 
to  speak  critically  or  unpopularly  without  fear  of 
governmental  reprisal  or  restraint. 

As  a  teacher  enjoying  a  special  freedom,  however, 
he  has  the  right  to  speak  without  restraint  not  only 
from  government  but  from  almost  any  other  source, 
including  his  own  employer. 

Thus — although  he  draws  his  salary  from  a  col- 
lege or  university,  holds  his  title  in  a  college  or 
university,  and  does  his  work  at  a  college  or  uni- 
versity— he  has  an  independence  from  his  employer 
which  in  most  other  occupations  would  be  denied 
to  him. 

Here  are  some  of  the  rights  he  enjoys: 

►  He  may,  if  his  honest  thinking  dictates,  expound 
views  that  clash  with  those  held  by  the  vast  ma- 
jority of  his  fellow  countrymen.  He  will  not  be 
restrained  from  doing  so. 

►  He  may,  if  his  honest  thinking  dictates,  pub- 
licly challenge  the  findings  of  his  closest  colleagues, 
even  if  they  outrank  him.  He  will  not  be  restrained 
from  doing  so. 

►  He  may,  if  his  honest  thinking  dictates,  make 
statements  that  oppose  the  views  of  the  president 
of  his  college,  or  of  a  prominent  trustee,  or  of  a 
generous  benefactor,  or  of  the  leaders  of  the  state 
legislature.  No  matter  how  much  pain  he  may  bring 
to  such  persons,  or  to  the  college  administrators 
entrusted  with  maintaining  good  relations  with 
them,  he  will  not  be  restrained  from  doing  so. 

Such  freedom  is  not  written  into  law.  It  exists 
on  the  college  campus  because  (1)  the  teacher  claims 


and  enforces  it  and  (2)  the  public,  although  wincing 
on  occasion,  grants  the  validity  of  the  teacher's 
claim. 

WE  grant  the  teacher  this  special  freedom 
for  our  own  benefit. 
Although  "orthodox"  critics  of  educa- 
tion frequently  protest,  there  is  a  strong  experi- 
mental emphasis  in  college  teaching  in  this  country. 
This  emphasis  owes  its  existence  to  several  in- 
fluences, including  the  utilitarian  nature  of  our 
society;  it  is  one  of  the  ways  in  which  our  institu-

tions  of  higher  education  differ  from  many  in 
Europe. 

Hence  we  often  measure  the  effectiveness  of  our 
colleges  and  universities  by  a  pragmatic  yardstick: 
Does  our  society  derive  a  practical  benefit  from 
their  practices? 

The  teacher's  special  freedom  meets  this  test. 
The  unfettered  mind,  searching  for  truth  in  science, 
in  philosophy,  in  social  sciences,  in  engineering,  in 
professional  areas — and  then  teaching  the  findings 
to  millions — has  produced  impressive  practical  re- 
sults, whether  or  not  these  were  the  original  ob- 
jectives of  its  search: 

The  technology  that  produced  instruments  of 
victory  in  World  War  II.  The  sciences  that  have 
produced,  in  a  matter  of  decades,  incredible  gains 
in  man's  struggle  against  disease.  The  science  and 
engineering  that  have  taken  us  across  the  threshold 
of  outer  space.  The  dazzling  progress  in  agricultural 
productivity.  The  damping,  to  an  unprecedented 
degree,  of  wild  fluctuations  in  the  business  cycle. 
The  appearance  and  application  of  a  new  architec- 
ture. The  development  of  a  "scientific  approach"  in 
the  management  of  business  and  of  labor  unions. 
The  ever-increasing  maturity  and  power  of  our 
historians,  literary  critics,  and  poets.  The  gradua- 
tion of  hundreds  of  thousands  of  college-trained 
men  and  women  with  the  wit  and  skill  to  learn  and 
broaden  and  apply  these  things. 

Would  similar  results  have  been  possible  without 
campus  freedom?  In  moments  of  national  panic  (as 
when  the  Russians  appear  to  be  outdistancing  us  in 
the  space  race),  there  are  voices  that  suggest  that 
less  freedom  and  more  centralized  direction  of  our 
educational  and  research  resources  would  be  more 
"efficient."  Disregard,  for  a  moment,  the  fact  that 
such  contentions  display  an  appalling  ignorance 
and  indifference  about  the  fundamental  philosophies 
of  freedom,  and  answer  them  on  their  own  ground. 


Weighed  carefully,  the  evidence  seems  generally  to 
support  the  contrary  view.  Freedom  does  work — 
quite  practically. 

Many  point  out  that  there  are  even  more  im- 
portant reasons  for  supporting  the  teacher's  special 
freedom  than  its  practical  benefits.  Says  one  such 
person,  the  conservative  writer  Russell  Kirk: 

"I  do  not  believe  that  academic  freedom  deserves 
preservation  chiefly  because  it  'serves  the  commu- 
nity,' although  this  incidental  function  is  important. 
I  think,  rather,  that  the  principal  importance  of 
academic  freedom  is  the  opportunity  it  affords  for 
the  highest  development  of  private  reason  and  im- 
agination, the  improvement  of  mind  and  heart  by 
the  apprehension  of  Truth,  whether  or  not  that  de- 
velopment is  of  any  immediate  use  to  'democratic 
society'." 

The  conclusion,  however,  is  the  same,  whether  the 
reasoning  is  conducted  on  practical,  philosophical, 
or  religious  grounds — or  on  all  three:  The  unusual 
freedom  claimed  by  (and  accorded  to)  the  college 
teacher  is  strongly  justified. 

"This  freedom  is  immediately  applicable  only  to  a 
limited  number  of  individuals,"  says  the  statement 
of  principles  of  a  professors'  organization,  "but  it  is 
profoundly  important  for  the  public  at  large.  It  safe- 
guards the  methods  by  which  we  explore  the  un- 
known and  test  the  accepted.  It  may  afford  a  key  to 
open  the  way  to  remedies  for  bodily  or  social  ills,  or 
it  may  confirm  our  faith  in  the  familiar.  Its  preser- 
vation is  necessary  if  there  is  to  be  scholarship  in 
any  true  sense  of  the  word.  The  advantages  accrue 
as  much  to  the  public  as  to  the  scholars  themselves." 

Hence  we  give  teachers  an  extension  of  freedom — 
academic  freedom — that  we  give  to  no  other  group 
in  our  society:  a  special  set  of  guarantees  designed  to 
encourage  and  insure  their  boldness,  their  forth- 
rightness,  their  objectivity,  and  (if  necessary)  their 
criticism  of  us  who  maintain  them. 


The  idea  works  most 
of  the  time,  but .  . . 


■  ike  many  good  theories,  this  one  works  for 
most  of  the  time  at  most  colleges  and  uni- 
I™  versities.  But  it  is  subject  to  continual 
stresses.  And  it  suffers  occasional,  and  sometimes 
spectacular,  breakdowns. 

If  past  experience  can  be  taken  as  a  guide,  at  this 
very  moment: 

►  An  alumnus  is  composing  a  letter  threatening  to 
strike  his  alma  mater  from  his  will  unless  the  insti- 
tution removes  a  professor  whose  views  on  some 
controversial  issue — in  economics?  in  genetics?  in 
politics? — the  alumnus  finds  objectionable. 

►  The  president  of  a  college  or  university,  or  one 
of  his  aides,  is  composing  a  letter  to  an  alumnus  in 
which  he  tries  to  explain  why  the  institution  cannot 
remove  a  professor  whose  views  on  some  controver- 
sial issue  the  alumnus  finds  objectionable. 

►  A  group  of  liberal  legislators,  aroused  by  reports 
from  the  campus  of  their  state  university  that  a 
professor  of  economics  is  preaching  fiscal  conserva- 
tism, is  debating  whether  it  should  knock  some 
sense  into  the  university  by  cutting  its  appropria- 
tion for  next  year. 

►  A  group  of  conservative  legislators  is  aroused  by 
reports  that  another  professor  of  economics  is 
preaching  fiscal  liberalism.  This  group,  too,  is  con- 
sidering an  appropriation  cut. 

►  The  president  of  a  college,  faced  with  a  budget- 
ary crisis  in  his  biology  department,  is  pondering 
whether  or  not  he  should  have  a  heart-to-heart  chat 
with  a  teacher  whose  views  on  fallout,  set  forth  in  a 
letter  to  the  local  newspaper,  appear  to  be  scaring 
away  the  potential  donor  of  at  least  one  million 
dollars. 

►  The  chairman  of  an  academic  department,  still 
smarting  from  the  criticism  that  two  colleagues  lev- 
eled at  the  learned  paper  he  delivered  at  the  de- 
partmental seminar  last  week,  is  making  up  the  new 
class  schedules  and  wondering  why  the  two  up- 
starts wouldn't  be  just  the  right  persons  for  those 
7  a.m.  classes  which  increased  enrollments  will  ne- 
cessitate next  year. 

►  The  educational  board  of  a  religious  denomina- 
tion is  wondering  why  it  should  continue  to  permit 
the  employment,  at  one  of  the  colleges  under  its 


ti&t&k 


control,  of  a  teacher  of  religion  who  is  openly  ques- 
tioning a  doctrinal  pronouncement  made  recently 
by  the  denomination's  leadership. 
►  The  managers  of  an  industrial  complex,  worried 
by  university  research  that  reportedly  is  Unking 
their  product  with  a  major  health  problem,  are  won- 
dering how  much  it  might  cost  to  sponsor  university 
research  to  show  that  their  product  is  not  the  cause 
of  a  major  health  problem. 

Pressures,  inducements,  threats:  scores  of  exam- 
ples, most  of  them  never  publicized,  could  be  cited 
each  year  by  our  colleges  and  universities. 

In  addition  there  is  philosophical  opposition  to 
the  present  concept  of  academic  freedom  by  a  few 
who  sincerely  believe  it  is  wrong.  ("In  the  last 
analysis,"  one  such  critic,  William  F.  Buckley,  Jr., 
once  wrote,  "academic  freedom  must  mean  the 
freedom  of  men  and  women  to  supervise  the  educa- 
tional activities  and  aims  of  the  schools  they  oversee 
and  support.")  And,  considerably  less  important 
and  more  frequent,  there  is  opposition  by  emotion- 
alists and  crackpots. 

Since  criticism  and  coercion  do  exist,  and  since 
academic  freedom  has  virtually  no  basis  in  law,  how 
can  the  college  teacher  enforce  his  claim  to  it? 


In  the  face  of  pressures, 
how  the  professor  stays  free 


IN  the  mid-1800's,  many  professors  lost  their  jobs 
over  their  views  on  slavery  and  secession.  In  the 
1870's  and  '80's,  many  were  dismissed  for  their 
views  on  evolution.  Near  the  turn  of  the  century,  a 
number  lost  their  jobs  for  speaking  out  on  the  issue 
of  Free  Silver. 

The  trend  alarmed  many  college  teachers.  Until 
late  in  the  last  century,  most  teachers  on  this  side 
of  the  Atlantic  had  been  mere  purveyors  of  the 
knowledge  that  others  had  accumulated  and  written 
down.  But,  beginning  around  1870,  many  began  to 
perform  a  dual  function:  not  only  did  they  teach,  but 
they  themselves  began  to  investigate  the  world 
about  them. 

Assumption  of  the  latter  role,  previously  per- 
formed almost  exclusively  in  European  universi- 
ties, brought  a  new  vitality  to  our  campuses.  It  also 
brought  perils  that  were  previously  unknown.  As 
long  as  they  had  dealt  only  in  ideas  that  were  clas- 
sical, generally  accepted,  and  therefore  safe,  teach- 
ers and  the  institutions  of  higher  learning  did  little 
that  might  offend  their  governing  boards,  their 
alumni,  the  parents  of  their  students,  the  public, 
and  the  state.  But  when  they  began  to  act  as  in- 
vestigators in  new  areas  of  knowledge,  they  found 
themselves  affecting  the  status  quo  and  the  inter- 
ests of  those  who  enjoyed  and  supported  it. 

And,  as  in  the  secession,  evolution,  and  silver  con- 
troversies, retaliation  was  sometimes  swift. 

In  1915,  spurred  by  their  growing  concern  over 
such  infringements  of  their  freedom,  a  group  of 
teachers  formed  the  American  Association  of  Uni- 
versity Professors.  It  now  has  52,000  members,  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada.  For  nearly  half  a 
century  an  AAUP  committee,  designated  as  "Com- 
mittee A,"  has  been  academic  freedom's  most  active 
— and  most  effective — defender. 

The  aaup's  defense  of  academic  freedom  is 
based  on  a  set  of  principles  that  its  members 
have  developed  and  refined  throughout  the  or- 
ganization's history.  Its  current  statement  of  these 
principles,  composed  in  collaboration  with  the  As- 
sociation of  American  Colleges,  says  in  part: 

"Institutions  of  higher  education  are  conducted 


for  the  common  good  and  not  to  further  the  interest 
of  either  the  individual  teacher  or  the  institution  as 
a  whole.  The  common  good  depends  upon  the  free 
search  for  truth  and  its  free  exposition." 

The  statement  spells  out  both  the  teacher's  rights 
and  his  duties: 

"The  teacher  is  entitled  to  full  freedom  in  re- 
search and  in  the  publication  of  the  results,  subject 
to  the  adequate  performance  of  his  other  academic 
duties .  .  . 

"The  teacher  is  entitled  to  freedom  in  the  class- 
room in  discussing  his  subject,  but  he  should  be 
careful  not  to  introduce  .  .  .  controversial  matter 
which  has  no  relation  to  his  subject  .  .  . 

"The  college  or  university  teacher  is  a  citizen,  a 
member  of  a  learned  profession,  and  an  officer  of  an 
educational  institution.  When  he  speaks  or  writes  as 
a  citizen,  he  should  be  free  from  institutional  censor- 
ship or  discipline,  but  his  special  position  in  the 
community  imposes  special  obligations.  As  a  man  of 
learning  and  an  educational  officer,  he  should  re- 
member that  the  public  may  judge  his  profession 
and  his  institution  by  his  utterances.  Hence  he 
should  at  all  times  be  accurate,  should  exercise  ap- 
propriate restraint,  should  show  respect  for  the 
opinions  of  others,  and  should  make  every  effort  to 
indicate  that  he  is  not  an  institutional  spokesman." 

How  can  such  claims  to  academic  freedom  be 
enforced?  How  can  a  teacher  be  protected 
against  retaliation  if  the  truth,  as  he  finds  it 
and  teaches  it,  is  unpalatable  to  those  who  employ 
him? 

The  American  Association  of  University  Profes- 


sors  and  the  Association  of  American  Colleges  have 
formulated  this  answer:  permanent  job  security,  or 
tenure.  After  a  probationary  period  of  not  more  than 
seven  years,  agree  the  AAUP  and  the  AAC,  the 
teacher's  services  should  be  terminated  "only  for 
adequate  cause." 

If  a  teacher  were  dismissed  or  forced  to  resign 
simply  because  his  teaching  or  research  offended 
someone,  the  cause,  in  AAUP  and  AAC  terms, 
clearly  would  not  be  adequate. 

The  teacher's  recourse?  He  may  appeal  to  the 
AAUP,  which  first  tries  to  mediate  the  dispute  with- 
out publicity.  Failing  such  settlement,  the  AAUP 
conducts  a  full  investigation,  resulting  in  a  full  re- 
port to  Committee  A.  If  a  violation  of  academic 
freedom  and  tenure  is  found  to  have  occurred,  the 
committee  publishes  its  findings  in  the  association's 
Bulletin,  takes  the  case  to  the  AAUP  membership, 
and  often  asks  that  the  offending  college  or  univer- 
sity administration  be  censured. 


So  effective  is  an  AAUP  vote  of  censure  that  most 
college  administrators  will  go  to  great  lengths  to 
avoid  it.  Although  the  AAUP  does  not  engage  in 
boycotts,  many  of  its  members,  as  well  as  others  in 
the  academic  profession,  will  not  accept  jobs  in  cen- 
sured institutions.  Donors  of  funds,  including  many 
philanthropic  foundations,  undoubtedly  are  influ- 
enced; so  are  many  parents,  students,  alumni,  and 
present  faculty  members.  Other  organizations,  such 
as  the  American  Association  of  University  Women, 
will  not  recognize  a  college  on  the  AAUP's  censure 
list. 

As  the  present  academic  year  began,  eleven  insti- 
tutions were  on  the  AAUP's  list  of  censured  admin- 
istrations. Charges  of  infringements  of  academic 
freedom  or  tenure  were  being  investigated  on  four- 
teen other  campuses.  In  the  past  three  years,  seven 
institutions,  having  corrected  the  situations  which 
had  led  to  AAUP  action,  have  been  removed  from 
the  censure  category. 


Has  the  teacher's  freedom 
no  limitations? 


How  sweeping  is  the  freedom  that  the  college 
teacher  claims? 
Does  it,  for  example,  entitle  a  member  of  the 
faculty  of  a  church-supported  college  or  university 
openly  to  question  the  existence  of  God? 

Does  it,  for  example,  entitle  a  professor  of  botany 
to  use  his  classroom  for  the  promulgation  of  political 
beliefs? 

Does  it,  for  example,  apply  to  a  Communist? 
There  are  those  who  would  answer  some,  or  all, 
such  questions  with  an  unqualified  Yes.  They  would 


JTZ 


argue  that  academic  freedom  is  absolute.  They 
would  say  that  any  restriction,  however  it  may  be 
rationalized,  effectively  negates  the  entire  academic- 
freedom  concept.  "You  are  either  free  or  not  free," 
says  one.  "There  are  no  halfway  freedoms." 

There  are  others — the  American  Association  of 
University  Professors  among  them — who  say  that 
freedom  can  be  limited  in  some  instances  and,  by 
definition,  is  limited  in  others,  without  fatal  damage 
being  done. 

Restrictions  at  church-supported 
colleges  and  universities 

The  AAUP- AAC  statement  of  principles  of  aca- 
demic freedom  implicitly  allows  religious  restric- 
tions: 

"Limitations  of  academic  freedom  because  of  re- 
ligious or  other  aims  of  the  institution  should  be 
clearly  stated  in  writing  at  the  time  of  [the  teacher's] 
appointment  ..." 

Here  is  how  one  church-related  university  (Prot- 


estant)  states  such  a  "limitation"  to  its  faculty 
members: 

"Since  X  University  is  a  Christian  institution 
supported  by  a  religious  denomination,  a  member  of 
its  faculty  is  expected  to  be  in  sympathy  with  the 
university's  primary  objective — to  educate  its  stu- 
dents within  the  framework  of  a  Christian  culture. 
The  rights  and  privileges  of  the  instructor  should, 
therefore,  be  exercised  with  discretion  and  a  sense  of 
loyalty  to  the  supporting  institution  .  .  .  The  right  of 
dissent  is  a  correlative  of  the  right  of  assent.  Any 
undue  restriction  upon  an  instructor  in  the  exercise 
of  this  function  would  foster  a  suspicion  of  intoler- 
ance, degrade  the  university,  and  set  the  supporting 
denomination  in  a  false  light  before  the  world." 

Another  church-related  institution  (Roman  Cath- 
olic) tells  its  teachers: 

"While  Y  College  is  operated  under  Catholic  aus- 
pices, there  is  no  regulation  which  requires  all  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  to  be  members  of  the  Catholic 
faith.  A  faculty  member  is  expected  to  maintain  a 
standard  of  life  and  conduct  consistent  with  the  phi- 
losophy and  objectives  of  the  college.  Accordingly, 
the  integrity  of  the  college  requires  that  all  faculty 
members  shall  maintain  a  sympathetic  attitude  to- 
ward Catholic  beliefs  and  practices,  and  shall  make 
a  sincere  effort  to  appreciate  these  beliefs  and  prac- 
tices. Members  of  the  faculty  who  are  Catholic  are 
expected  to  set  a  good  example  by  the  regular  prac- 
tice of  Catholic  duties." 

A  teacher's  "competence" 

By  most  definitions  of  academic  freedom,  a  teach- 
er's rights  in  the  classroom  apply  only  to  the  field  in 
which  he  is  professionally  an  expert,  as  determined 
by  the  credentials  he  possesses.  They  do  not  extend 
to  subjects  that  are  foreign  to  his  specialty. 

".  .  .  He  should  be  careful,"  says  the  American 
Association  of  University  Professors  and  the  Asso- 
ciation of  American  Colleges,  "not  to  introduce  into 
his  teaching  controversial  matter  which  has  no  re- 
lation to  his  subject." 

Hence  a  professor  of  botany  enjoys  an  undoubted 
freedom  to  expound  his  botanical  knowledge,  how- 
ever controversial  it  might  be.  (He  might  discover, 
and  teach,  that  some  widely  consumed  cereal  grain, 
known  for  its  energy-giving  properties,  actually  is  of 
little  value  to  man  and  animals,  thus  causing  con- 
sternation and  angry  outcries  in  Battle  Creek.  No 
one  on  the  campus  is  likely  to  challenge  his  right  to 
do  so.)  He  probably  enjoys  the  right  to  comment, 
from  a  botanist's  standpoint,  upon  a  conservation 
bill  pending  in  Congress.  But  the  principles  of  aca- 
demic freedom  might  not  entitle  the  botanist  to  take 


a  classroom  stand  on,  say,  a  bill  dealing  with  traffic 
laws  in  his  state. 

As  a  private  citizen,  of  course,  off  the  college  cam- 
pus, he  is  as  free  as  any  other  citizen  to  speak  on 
whatever  topic  he  chooses — and  as  liable  to  criti- 
cism of  what  he  says.  He  has  no  special  privileges 
when  he  acts  outside  his  academic  role.  Indeed,  the 
AAUP-AAC  statement  of  principles  suggests  that 
he  take  special  pains,  when  he  speaks  privately,  not 
to  be  identified  as  a  spokesman  for  his  institution. 

Hence,  at  least  in  the  view  of  the  most  influen- 
tial of  teachers'  organizations,  the  freedom  of 
the  college  teacher  is  less  than  absolute.  But 
the  limitations  are  established  for  strictly  defined 
purposes:  (1)  to  recognize  the  religious  auspices  of 
many  colleges  and  universities  and  (2)  to  lay  down 
certain  ground  rules  for  scholarly  procedure  and  con- 
duct. 

In  recent  decades,  a  new  question  has  arisen  to 
haunt  those  who  would  define  and  protect  academic 
freedom:  the  problem  of  the  Communist.  When  it 
began  to  be  apparent  that  the  Communist  was  not 
simply  a  member  of  a  political  party,  wilhng  (like 
other  political  partisans)  to  submit  to  established 
democratic  processes,  the  question  of  his  eligibility 
to  the  rights  of  a  free  college  teacher  was  seriously 
posed. 

So  pressing — and  so  worrisome  to  our  colleges 
and  universities — has  this  question  become  that  a 
separate  section  of  this  report  is  devoted  to  it. 


The  Communist: 
a  special  case? 


Should  a  Communist  Party  member  enjoy  the 
privileges  of  academic  freedom?  Should  he  be 
permitted  to  hold  a  position  on  a  college  or 
university  faculty? 

On  few  questions,  however  "obvious"  the  answer 
may  be  to  some  persons,  can  complete  agreement 
be  found  in  a  free  society.  In  a  group  as  conditioned 
to  controversy  and  as  insistent  upon  hard  proof  as 
are  college  teachers,  a  consensus  is  even  more  rare. 

It  would  thus  be  a  miracle  if  there  were  agree- 
ment on  the  rights  of  a  Communist  Party  member 
to  enjoy  academic  privileges.  Indeed,  the  miracle 
has  not  yet  come  to  pass.  The  question  is  still 
warmly  debated  on  many  campuses,  even  where 
there  is  not  a  Communist  in  sight.  The  American 
Association  of  University  Professors  is  still  in  the 
process  of  denning  its  stand. 

The  difficulty,  for  some,  lies  in  determining 
whether  or  not  a  communist  teacher  actually  propa- 
gates his  beliefs  among  students.  The  question  is 
asked,  Should  a  communist  gym  instructor,  whose 
utterances  to  his  students  are  confined  largely  to 
the  hup-two-three-four  that  he  chants  when  he 
leads  the  calisthenics  drill,  be  summarily  dismissed? 
Should  a  chemist,  who  confines  his  campus  activities 
solely  to  chemistry?  Until  he  overtly  preaches  com- 
munism, or  permits  it  to  taint  his  research,  his 
writings,  or  his  teaching  (some  say),  the  Communist 
should  enjoy  the  same  rights  as  all  other  faculty 
members. 

Others — and  they  appear  to  be  a  growing  num- 
ber— have  concluded  that  proof  of  Communist 
Party  membership  is  in  itself  sufficient  grounds  for 
dismissal  from  a  college  faculty. 

To  support  the  argument  of  this  group,  Professor 
Arthur  O.  Lovejoy,  who  in  1913  began  the  move- 
ment that  led  to  the  establishment  of  the  AAUP, 
has  quoted  a  statement  that  he  wrote  in  1920,  long 
before  communism  on  the  campus  became  a  lively 
issue: 

"Society  ...  is  not  getting  from  the  scholar  the 
particular  service  which  is  the  principal  raison 
d'etre  of  his  calling,  unless  it  gets  from  him  his 
honest  report  of  what  he  finds,  or  believes,  to  be 
true,  after  careful  study  of  the  problems  with  which 


he  deals.  Insofar,  then,  as  faculties  are  made  up  of 
men  whose  teachings  express,  not  the  results  of  their 
own  research  and  reflection  and  that  of  their  fellow- 
specialists,  but  rather  the  opinions  of  other  men — 
whether  holders  of  public  office  or  private  persons 
from  whom  endowments  are  received — just  so  far 
are  colleges  and  universities  perverted  from  their 
proper  function  ..." 

(His  statement  is  the  more  pertinent,  Professor 
Lovejoy  notes,  because  it  was  originally  the  basis 
of  "a  criticism  of  an  American  college  for  accepting 
from  a  'capitalist'  an  endowment  for  a  special  pro- 
fessorship to  be  devoted  to  showing  'the  fallacies  of 
socialism  and  kindred  theories  and  practices.'  I 
have  now  added  only  the  words  'holders  of  public 
office.'  ") 

Let  us  quote  Professor  Lovejoy  at  some  length, 
as  he  looks  at  the  communist  teacher  today: 

"It  is  a  very  simple  argument;  it  can  best  be  put, 
in  the  logician's  fashion,  in  a  series  of  numbered 
theorems: 

"1.  Freedom  of  inquiry,  of  opinion,  and  of  teach- 
ing in  universities  is  a  prerequisite,  if  the  academic 
scholar  is  to  perform  the  proper  function  of  his 
profession. 

"2.  The  Communist  Party  in  the  United  States 
is  an  organization  whose  aim  is  to  bring  about  the 
establishment  in  this  country  of  a  political  as  well 
as  an  economic  system  essentially  similar  to  that 
which  now  exists  in  the  Soviet  Union. 

"3.  That  system  does  not  permit  freedom  of  in- 
quiry, of  opinion,  and  of  teaching,  either  in  or 
outside  of  universities;  in  it  the  political  govern- 
ment claims  and  exercises  the  right  to  dictate  to 
scholars  what  conclusions  they  must  accept,  or  at 
least  profess  to  accept,  even  on  questions  lying 
within  their  own  specialties — for  example,  in  philos- 
ophy, in  history,  in  aesthetics  and  literary  criticism, 
in  economics,  in  biology. 

"4.  A  member  of  the  Communist  Party  is  there- 
fore engaged  in  a  movement  which  has  already  ex- 
tinguished academic  freedom  in  many  countries  and 
would — if  it  were  successful  here — result  in  the 
abolition  of  such  freedom  in  American  universities. 

"5.  No  one,  therefore,  who  desires  to  maintain 


academic  freedom  in  America  can  consistently  favor 
that  movement,  or  give  indirect  assistance  to  it  by 
accepting  as  fit  members  of  the  faculties  of  uni- 
versities, persons  who  have  voluntarily  adhered  to 
an  organization  one  of  whose  aims  is  to  abolish 
academic  freedom. 

"Of  these  five  propositions,  the  first  is  one  of 
principle.  For  those  who  do  not  accept  it,  the  con- 
clusion does  not  follow.  The  argument  is  addressed 
only  to  those  who  do  accept  that  premise.  The 
second,  third,  and  fourth  propositions  are  state- 
ments of  fact.  I  submit  that  they  cannot  be  honestly 
gainsaid  by  any  who  are  acquainted  with  the 
relevant  facts  .  .  . 

"It  will  perhaps  be  objected  that  the  exclusion  of 
communist  teachers  would  itself  be  a  restriction 
upon  freedom  of  opinion  and  of  teaching — viz.,  of 
the  opinion  and  teaching  that  intellectual  freedom 
should  be  abolished  in  and  outside  of  universities; 
and  that  it  is  self-contradictory  to  argue  for  the 
restriction  of  freedom  in  the  name  of  freedom.  The 
argument  has  a  specious  air  of  logicality,  but  it  is 
in  fact  an  absurdity.  The  believer  in  the  indis- 
pensability  of  freedom,  whether  academic  or  politi- 


cal, is  not  thereby  committed  to  the  conclusion  that 
it  is  his  duty  to  facilitate  its  destruction,  by  placing 
its  enemies  in  strategic  positions  of  power,  prestige, 
or  influence  .  .  .  The  conception  of  freedom  is  not 
one  which  implies  the  legitimacy  and  inevitability 
of  its  own  suicide.  It  is,  on  the  contrary,  a  concep- 
tion which,  so  to  say,  defines  the  limit  of  its  own 
applicability;  what  it  implies  is  that  there  is  one 
kind  of  freedom  which  is  inadmissible — the  freedom 
to  destroy  freedom.  The  defender  of  liberty  of 
thought  and  speech  is  not  morally  bound  to  enter 
the  fight  with  both  hands  tied  behind  his  back.  And 
those  who  would  deny  such  freedom  to  others,  if 
they  could,  have  no  moral  or  logical  basis  for  the 
claim  to  enjoy  the  freedom  which  they  would  deny . . . 
"In  the  professional  code  of  the  scholar,  the  man 
of  science,  the  teacher,  the  first  commandment  is: 
Thou  shalt  not  knowingly  misrepresent  facts,  nor 
tell  lies  to  students  or  to  the  public.  Those  who  not 
merely  sometimes  break  this  commandment,  but 
repudiate  any  obligation  to  respect  it,  are  obviously 
disqualified  for  membership  in  any  body  of  investi- 
gators and  teachers  which  maintains  the  elementary 
requirements  of  professional  integrity. 


"To  say  these  things  is  not  to  say  that  the  eco- 
nomic and  even  the  political  doctrines  of  commu- 
nism should  not  be  presented  and  freely  discussed 
within  academic  walls.  To  treat  them  simply  as 
'dangerous  thought,'  with  which  students  should 
not  be  permitted  to  have  any  contact,  would  give 
rise  to  a  plausible  suspicion  that  they  are  taboo 
because  they  would,  if  presented,  be  all  too  con- 
vincing; and  out  of  that  suspicion  young  Commu- 
nists are  bred.  These  doctrines,  moreover,  are  his- 
torical facts;  for  better  or  worse,  they  play  an 
immense  part  in  the  intellectual  and  political  con- 
troversies of  the  present  age.  To  deny  to  students 
means  of  learning  accurately  what  they  are,  and  of 
reaching  informed  judgments  about  them,  would 
be  to  fail  in  one  of  the  major  pedagogic  obligations 
of  a  university — to  enable  students  to  understand 
the  world  in  which  they  will  live,  and  to  take  an 
intelligent  part  in  its  affairs  ..." 

IF  every  communist  admitted  he  belonged  to  the 
party — or  if  the  public,  including  college  teachers 
and  administrators,  somehow  had  access  to  party 
membership  lists — such  a  policy  might  not  be  diffi- 
cult to  apply.  In  practice,  of  course,  such  is  not  the 
case.  A  two-pronged  danger  may  result:  (1)  we  may 
not  "spot"  all  Communists,  and  (2)  unless  we  are 
very  careful,  we  may  do  serious  injustice  to  persons 
who  are  not  Communists  at  all. 

What,  for  example,  constitutes  proof  of  Commu- 
nist Party  membership?  Does  refusal  to  take  a 
loyalty  oath?  ( Many  reo/i-Communists,  as  a  matter 
of  principle,  have  declined  to  subscribe  to  "dis- 
criminatory" oaths — oaths  required  of  one  group 
in  society,  e.g.,  teachers,  but  not  of  others.)  Does 


invoking  the  Fifth  Amendment?  Of  some  200  dis- 
missals from  college  and  university  faculties  in  the 
past  fifteen  years,  where  communism  was  an  issue, 
according  to  AAUP  records,  most  were  on  grounds 
such  as  these.  Only  a  handful  of  teachers  were  in- 
con  trovertibly  proved,  either  by  their  own  admission 
or  by  other  hard  evidence,  to  be  Communist  Party 
members. 

Instead  of  relying  on  less-than-conclusive  evi- 
dence of  party  membership,  say  some  observers, 
we  would  be  wiser — and  the  results  would  be  surer — 
if  we  were  to  decide  each  case  by  determining 
whether  the  teacher  has  in  fact  violated  his  trust. 
Has  he  been  intellectually  dishonest?  Has  he  mis- 
stated facts?  Has  he  published  a  distorted  bibli- 
ography? Has  he  preached  a  party  line  in  his  class- 
room? By  such  a  determination  we  would  be  able 
to  bar  the  practicing  Communist  from  our  campuses, 
along  with  all  others  guilty  of  academic  dishonesty 
or  charlatanry. 

How  can  the  facts  be  established? 

As  one  who  holds  a  position  of  unusual  trust,  say 
most  educators  (including  the  teachers'  own  or- 
ganization, the  AAUP),  the  teacher  has  a  special 
obligation:  if  responsible  persons  make  serious 
charges  against  his  professional  integrity  or  his  in- 
tellectual honesty,  he  should  be  willing  to  submit 
to  examination  by  his  colleagues.  If  his  answers  to 
the  charges  are  unsatisfactory — evasive,  or  not  in 
accord  with  evidence — formal  charges  should  be 
brought  against  him  and  an  academic  hearing,  con- 
ducted according  to  due  process,  should  be  held. 
Thus,  say  many  close  observers  of  the  academic 
scene,  society  can  be  sure  that  justice  is  done — 
both  to  itself  and  to  the  accused. 


Is  the  college  teacher's  freedom 
in  any  real  jeopardy? 


How  free  is  the  college  teacher  today?  What 
are  his  prospects  for  tomorrow?  Either  here 
or  on  the  horizon,  are  there  any  serious 
threats  to  his  freedom,  besides  those  threats  to  the 
freedom  of  us  all? 

Any  reader  of  history  knows  that  it  is  wise  to 
adopt  the  view  that  freedom  is  always  in  jeopardy. 
With  such  a  view,  one  is  likely  to  maintain  safe- 


guards. Without  safeguards,  freedom  is  sure  to  be 
eroded  and  soon  lost. 

So  it  is  with  the  special  freedom  of  the  college 
teacher — the  freedom  of  ideas  on  which  our  civiliza- 
tion banks  so  much. 

Periodically,  this  freedom  is  buffeted  heavily.  In 
part  of  the  past  decade,  the  weather  was  particular- 
ly stormy.  College  teachers  were  singled  out  for 


Are  matters  of  academic  freedom  easy 

Try  handling  some  of  these 


You  are 

a  college  president. 

Your  college  is  your  life.  You  have 
thrown  every  talent  you  possess  into 
its  development.  No  use  being  mod- 
est about  it:  your  achievements 
have  been  great. 

The  faculty  has  been  strength- 
ened immeasurably.  The  student 
body  has  grown  not  only  in  size  but 
in  academic  quality  and  aptitude. 
The  campus  itself — dormitories,  lab- 
oratories, classroom  buildings — 
would  hardly  be  recognized  by  any- 
one who  hasn't  seen  it  since  before 
you  took  over. 

Your  greatest  ambition  is  yet  to 
be  realized:  the  construction  of  a 
new  library.  But  at  last  it  seems  to 
be  in  sight.  Its  principal  donor,  a 
wealthy  man  whom  you  have  culti- 
vated for  years,  has  only  the  techni- 
calities— but  what  important  tech- 
nicalities!— to  complete:  assigning 
to  the  college  a  large  block  of  secur- 
ities which,  when  sold,  will  provide 
the  necessary  $3,000,000. 

This  afternoon,  a  newspaper  re- 
porter stopped  you  as  you  crossed 
the  campus.  "Is  it  true,"  he  asked, 
"that  John  X,  of  your  economics 
department,  is  about  to  appear  on 
coast-to-coast  television  advocating 
deficit  spending  as  a  cornerstone  of 
federal  fiscal  policy?  I'd  like  to  do 
an  advance  story  about  it,  with  your 
comments." 

You  were  not  sidestepping  the 
question  when  you  told  the  reporter 
you  did  not  know.  To  tell  the  truth, 
you  had  never  met  John  X,  unless 
it  had  been  for  a  moment  or  two  of 
small-talk  at  a  faculty  tea.  On  a 
faculty  numbering  several  hundred, 
there  are  bound  to  be  many  whom 
you  know  so  slightly  that  you  might 
not  recognize  them  if  they  passed 
you  on  the  street. 

Deficit  spending!  Only  last  night, 


your  wealthy  library-donor  held 
forth  for  two  hours  at  the  dinner 
table  on  the  immorality  of  it.  By 
the  end  of  the  evening,  his  words 
were  almost  choleric.  He  phoned  this 
morning  to  apologize.  "It's  the  one 
subject  I  get  rabid  about,"  he  said. 
"Thank  heavens  you're  not  teaching 
that  sort  of  thing  on  your  campus." 

You  had  your  secretary  discreetly 
check:  John  X's  telecast  is  sched- 
uled for  next  week.  It  will  be  at 
least  two  months  before  you  get 
those  library  funds.  There  is  John 
X's  extension  number,  and  there  is 
the  telephone.  And  there  are  your 
lifetime's  dreams. 

Should  you  .  .  .? 

You  are 

a  university  scientist. 

You  are  deeply  involved  in  highly 
complex  research.  Not  only  the 
equipment  you  use,  but  also  the 
laboratory  assistance  you  require, 
is  expensive.  The  cost  is  far  more 
than  the  budget  of  your  university 
department  could  afford  to  pay. 

So,  like  many  of  your  colleagues, 
you  depend  upon  a  governmental 
agency  for  most  of  your  financial 
support.  Its  research  grants  and 
contracts  make  your  work  possible. 

But  now,  as  a  result  of  your 
studies  and  experiments,  you  have 
come  to  a  conclusion  that  is  dia- 
metrically opposite  to  that  which 
forms  the  official  policy  of  the 
agency  that  finances  you — a  policy 
that  potentially  affects  the  welfare 
of  every  citizen. 

You  have  outlined,  and  docu- 
mented, your  conclusion  forcefully, 
in  confidential  memoranda.  Re- 
sponsible officials  believe  you  are 
mistaken;  you  are  certain  you  are 
not.  The  disagreement  is  profound. 
Clearly  the  government  will  not 
accept  your  view.  Yet  you  are  con- 


vinced that  it  is  so  vital  to  your 
country's  welfare  that  you  should 
not  keep  it  to  yourself. 

You  are  a  man  of  more  than  one 
heavy  responsibility,  and  you  feel 
them  keenly.  You  are,  of  course,  re- 
sponsible to  your  university.  You 
have  a  responsibility  to  your  col- 
leagues, many  of  whose  work  is 
financed  similarly  to  yours.  You  are, 
naturally,  responsible  to  your  coun- 
try. You  bear  the  responsibility  of  a 
teacher,  who  is  expected  to  hold 
back  no  knowledge  from  his  stu- 
dents. You  have  a  responsibility  to 
your  own  career.  And  you  feel  a 
responsibility  to  the  people  you  see 
on  the  street,  whom  you  know  your 
knowledge  affects. 

Loyalties,  conscience,  lifetime  fi- 
nancial considerations:  your  di- 
lemma has  many  horns. 

Should  you  .  .  .? 

You  are 

a  business  man. 

You  make  toothpaste.  It  is  good 
toothpaste.  You  maintain  a  research 
department,  at  considerable  ex- 
pense, to  keep  it  that  way. 

A  disturbing  rumor  reached  you 
this  morning.  Actually,  it's  more 
than  a  rumor;  you  could  class  it  as 
a  well-founded  report.  The  dental 
school  of  a  famous  university  is 
about  to  publish  the  results  of  a 
study  of  toothpastes.  And,  if  your 
informant  had  the  facts  straight,  it 
can  do  nothing  but  harm  to  your 
current  selling  campaign. 

You  know  the  dean  of  the  dental 
school  quite  well.  Your  company, 
as  part  of  its  policy  of  supporting 
good  works  in  dental  science,  has 
been  a  regular  and  substantial  con- 
tributor to  the  school's  development 
fund. 

It's  not  as  if  you  were  thinking  of 
suppressing  anything;  your  record

problems. 


of  turning  out  a  good  product — the 
best  you  know — is  ample  proof  of 
that.  But  if  that  report  were  to 
come  out  now,  in  the  midst  of  your 
campaign,  it  could  be  ruinous.  A 
few  months  from  now,  and  no  harm 
would  be  done. 

Would  there  be  anything  wrong 
if  you  .  .  .? 

Your  daughter 
is  at  State. 

You're  proud  of  her;  first  in  her 
class  at  high  school;  pretty  girl; 
popular;  extraordinarily  sensible, 
in  spite  of  having  lots  of  things  to 
turn  her  head. 

It  was  hard  to  send  her  off  to  the 
university  last  fall.  She  had  never 
been  away  from  the  family  for  more 
than  a  day  or  two  at  a  time.  But 
you  had  to  cut  the  apron-strings. 
And  no  experience  is  a  better  teacher 
than  going  away  to  college. 

You  got  a  letter  from  her  this 
morning.  Chatty,  breezy,  a  bit  sassy 
in  a  delightful  way.  You  smiled  as 
you  read  her  youthful  jargon.  She 
delights  in  using  it  on  you,  because 
she  remembers  how  you  grimaced 
in  mock  horror  whenever  you  heard 
it  around  the  house. 

Even  so,  you  turned  cold  when 
you  came  to  the  paragraph  about 
the  sociology  class.  The  so-called 
scientific  survey  that  the  professor 
had  made  of  the  sexual  behavior  of 
teen-agers.  This  is  the  sort  of  thing 
Margie  is  being  taught  at  State? 
You're  no  prude,  but .  .  .  You  know 
a  member  of  the  education  com- 
mittee of  the  state  legislature. 
Should  you  .  .  .?  And  on  the  coffee 
table  is  the  letter  that  came  yester- 
day from  the  fund-raising  office  at 
State;  you  were  planning  to  write  a 
modest  check  tonight.  To  support 
more  sociology  professors  and  their 
scientific  surveys?  Should  you  .  .  .? 


special  criticism  if  they  did  not  conform  to  popular 
patterns  of  thought.  They,  and  often  they  alone, 
were  required  to  take  oaths  of  loyalty— as  if  teach- 
ers, somehow,  were  uniquely  suspect. 

There  was  widespread  misunderstanding  of  the 
teacher's  role,  as  defined  by  one  university  presi- 
dent: 

"It  is  inconceivable  .  .  .  that  there  can  exist  a  true 
community  of  scholars  without  a  diversity  of  views 
and  an  atmosphere  conducive  to  their  expression 
...  To  have  a  diversity  of  views,  it  is  essential  that 
we  as  individuals  be  willing  to  extend  to  our  col- 
leagues, to  our  students,  and  to  members  of  the  com- 
munity the  privilege  of  presenting  opinions  which 
may,  in  fact,  be  in  sharp  conflict  with  those  which 
we  espouse.  To  have  an  atmosphere  of  freedom,  it  is 
essential  that  we  accord  to  such  diverse  views  the 
same  respect,  the  same  attentive  consideration,  that 
we  grant  to  those  who  express  opinions  with  which 
we  are  in  basic  agreement." 

The  storm  of  the  '50's  was  nationwide.  It  was 
felt  on  every  campus.  Today's  storms  are 
local;  some  campuses  measure  the  threat  to 
their  teachers'  freedom  at  hurricane  force,  while 
others  feel  hardly  a  breeze. 

Hence,  the  present — relatively  calm — is  a  good 
time  for  assessing  the  values  of  academic  freedom, 
and  for  appreciating  them.  The  future  is  certain  to 
bring  more  threats,  and  the  understanding  that  we 
can  build  today  may  stand  us  in  good  stead,  then. 

What  is  the  likely  nature  of  tomorrow's  threats? 

"It  is  my  sincere  impression  that  the  faculties  of 
our  universities  have  never  enjoyed  a  greater  lati- 
tude of  intellectual  freedom  than  they  do  today," 
says  the  president  of  an  institution  noted  for  its 
high  standards  of  scholarship  and  freedom.  "But 
this  is  a  judgment  relative  only  to  the  past. 

"The  search  for  truth  has  no  ending.  The  need  to 
seek  truth  for  its  own  sake  must  constantly  be  de- 
fended. Again  and  again  we  shall  have  to  insist 
upon  the  right  to  express  unorthodox  views  reached 
through  honest  and  competent  study. 

"Today  the  physical  sciences  offer  safe  ground  for 
speculation.  We  appear  to  have  made  our  peace 
with  biology,  even  with  the  rather  appalling  im- 
plications of  modern  genetics. 

"Now  it  is  the  social  sciences  that  have  entered 
the  arena.  These  are  young  sciences,  and  they  are 
difficult.  But  the  issues  involved — the  positions 
taken  with  respect  to  such  matters  as  economic 
growth,  the  tax  structure,  deficit  financing,  the  laws 


affecting  labor  and  management,  automation,  social 
welfare,  or  foreign  aid — are  of  enormous  conse- 
quence to  all  the  people  of  this  country.  If  the  critics 
of  our  universities  feel  strongly  on  these  questions, 
it  is  because  rightly  or  wrongly  they  have  identi- 
fied particular  solutions  uniquely  with  the  future 
prosperity  of  our  democracy.  All  else  must  then  be 
heresy." 

Opposition  to  such  "heresy" — and  hence  to  aca- 
demic freedom — is  certain  to  come. 

IN  the  future,  as  at  present,  the  concept  of  aca- 
demic freedom  will  be  far  from  uncomplicated. 
Applying  its  principles  in  specific  cases  rarely 
will  be  easy.  Almost  never  will  the  facts  be  all  white 
or  all  black;  rather,  the  picture  that  they  form  is 
more  likely  to  be  painted  in  tones  of  gray. 

To  forget  this,  in  one's  haste  to  judge  the  Tight- 
ness or  wrongness  of  a  case,  will  be  to  expose  oneself 


to  the  danger  of  acting  injudiciously — and  of  com- 
mitting injustice. 

The  subtleties  and  complexities  found  in  the  gray 
areas  will  be  endless.  Even  the  scope  of  academic 
freedom  will  be  involved.  Should  its  privileges,  for 
example,  apply  only  to  faculty  members?  Or  should 
they  extend  to  students,  as  well?  Should  students, 
as  well  as  faculty  members,  be  free  to  invite  con- 
troversial outsiders  to  the  campus  to  address  them? 
And  so  on  and  on. 

The  educated  alumnus  and  alumna,  faced  with 
specific  issues  involving  academic  freedom,  may 
well  ponder  these  and  other  questions  in  years  to 
come.  Legislators,  regents,  trustees,  college  ad- 
ministrators, students,  and  faculty  members  will  be 
pondering  them,  also.  They  will  look  to  the  alumnus 
and  alumna  for  understanding  and — if  the  cause  be 
just — for  support.  Let  no  reader  underestimate  the 
difficulty — or  the  importance — of  his  role.

COLLEGE  IS 

AMERICA'S 

BEST  FRIEND 

Today,  a  nation's  power  is 
brainpower.  And  America  will 
go  forward  or  fall  behind  de- 
pending- on  the  brainpower  it 
uses  in  business,  science  and 
national  affairs. 

Brainpower  comes  from  high- 
er education  — how  steady  is 
our  supply?  Not  as  steady  as 
our  population  growth.  In  fact, 
there  are  serious  shortages. 
Even  now  some  colleges  are 
overcrowded  and  in  ten  years 
applicants  will  double. 

To  hold  our  high  place  among 
nations,  we  need  more  college 
classrooms,  libraries,  labora- 
tories. Even  more  important, 
there  must  be  a  steady  supply 
of  absolutely  top-notch  teach- 
ers and  professors. 

Give  to  the  college  of  your 
choice.  Help  it  to  do  its  part  in 
furthering  America's  future.

Dependable  and  True 

(Originally  published  as  an  Ode  to  Attending 
District  Meetings  and  Other  Reunions) 

by  Dr.  C.  D.  Russell  '93 

In  a  pleasant  recollection 
Mem'ry  once  more  takes  direction 

Toward  those  happy  Campus  days  at  dear  S.U. 
Not  much  then  but  one  lone  building. 

Few  conveniences— no  gilding, 

Outdoor  pump— stove,  oil-lamp,  chairs,  bed,  room  for  two. 
But  they  laid  there  the  beginnings 
Of  these  later  brilliant  innings, 

And  we're  proud  of  the  big  strides  S.U.  has  made, 
Growth  in  academic  standing, 
Near  and  far  respect  commanding, 

As  she  still  is  stretching  toward  that  upper  grade. 
We're  indebted,  and  we  know  it— 

But  she  helped  us  find  ourselves  and  get  a  start. 
Tis  a  privilege  to  know  her, 
And  in  real  ways  we  would  show  her 

That  we  really  have  her  interests  at  heart. 
Don't  defer  till  some  time  later- 
Keep  your  tryst  with  Alma  Mater, 

Travel  back  in  thought  and  reckon  what  is  due. 
Visit  the  old  Campus— view  it— 
If  you've  lost  your  love,  renew  it. 

And  keep  faith  throughout  the  years  with  old  S.U. 
Now  just  what  of  Susquehanna. 
Shall  we  say  to  her,  "Manana" 

And  postpone  that  bit  of  service  that  we  owe? 
Let  the  world  know  you  are  for  her— 
Make  a  record  as  "High-scorer"; 

If  you  think  she's  doing  fine  work,  tell  her  so. 
Tell  it,  not  in  terms  romantic, 
Nor  in  word  and  pose  pedantic. 

But  in  warmth  of  interest— investment  too. 
Back  her  plans  with  splendid  fervor, 
Not  as  mere  side-line  observer, 

But  as  one  who  proves  dependable  and  true.

SUSQUEHANNA  WINS  HONORABLE  MENTION  FOR 
INCENTIVE  AWARD,  SECOND  STRAIGHT  YEAR 


7-9-63 

FOR  IMMEDIATE  RELEASE 


ATLANTIC  CITY,  N.J. Susquehanna  University  tonight  won  its 

second  consecutive  honorable  mention  award  for  improvement  in  the 
Small  Coeducational  Colleges  category  of  the  American  Alumni 
Council's  Alumni  Giving  Incentive  Award  program.   The  awards  are 
sponsored  annually  by  American  business  and  industry  and  financed 
by  the  U.  S.  Steel  Foudation. 

Susquehanna's  award,  which  includes  a  certificate  and  a  cash 
grant  of  $125,  was  presented  to  John  S.  Hendricks,  S.  U.  director 
of  alumni  relations,  at  the  AAC's  50th  anniversary  banquet  here 
in  the  Chalf onte-Haddon  Hall  hotel. 

Given  for  "distinguished  achievement  in  the  development  of 
alumni  support,"  the  award  constitutes  tangible  recognition  of  the 
university  alumni's  success  in  oversubscribing  the  1962  Alumni 
Loyalty  Fund  goal  of  $35,000.   The  Fund  totaled  $35,103  and  was 

contributed  by  1138  donors  of  which  1101  were  alumni 29  percent 

of  the  known,  living  alumni  group. 

In  1961,  Susquehanna's  annual  Fund  totaled  $26,155  and  was 
contributed  by  21.2  percent  of  potential  alumni  donors.

registration  facilities  kept  busy  all 
of  Saturday  morning  while  the 
program  got  under  way.  One  of 
the  afternoon  features  was  laying 
of  the  cornerstone  for  the  univer-

Alumni  Association  of  Susquehanna  University  Business  Meeting,  May  4,   1963 


The  Annual  Luncheon  Meeting  of  the  Susquehanna 
University  Alumni  Association  was  held  May  4,  1963 
on  the  University  campus  under  the  Big  Top  on  Alumni

Business  Meeting  to  order  at  12:45  P.  M.  and  introduc- 
ed the  director  of  alumni  relations,  John  S.  Hendricks 
'57.  Mr.  Hendricks  recognized  each  reuning  class  and 
its  chairman— 1913  through  1958.  The  Emeriti  group 
and  the  50th  reunion  Class  of  1913  were  presented  with 
roses  by  May  Queen  Jane  Beers  '63  and  her  Court. 
Presented  to  the  1913  class  were  framed  woodcuts  of 
the  University  library  personally  autographed  by  Pres- 
ident Gustave  \Y.  Weber. 

Association  President  Chaffee  welcomed  the  Class 
of  1963  into  the  Alumni  Association  and  brief  remarks 
were  made  in  response  by  Senior  Class  President  Nath- 
an Ward,  who  then  presented  to  Dr.  Weber  the  class 
gift— a  check  in  the  amount  of  $10,000  to  be  used  in 
construction  of  a  gateway  at  the  west  end  of  the 
campus.

The  Romance  of  the  Shakers 


by   ROBERT  W.   MEADER 

A  former  professor  at  S.  U.,  Mr. 
Mesder  now  is  director  of  the 
Shaker  Museum  at  Old  Chatham, 
N.  Y. 


In  1774  ax  extraordinary  woman,  Ann  Lee,  came 
to  America  from  her  native  England,  where  she  and 
her  family  had  lived  in  industrial  Manchester.  A 
nominal  member  of  the  Anglican  Church,  she  came  in 
contact  with  James  and  Jane  Wardley  and  their  little 
group  of  dissident  Quakers.  Always  of  a  mystical  and 
visionar\  nature,  married  life  as  the  wife  of  Andrew 
Stanlev  and  the  mother  of  four  children— none  of  whom 


lived  over  six  years— convinced  her  that  celibacy  was 
essential  to  the  religious  life.  Shortly  after  her  arrival 
in  New  York  with  her  eight  disciples  her  husband  left 
her,  whereupon  she  resumed  her  maiden  name. 

Establishing  herself  at  Watervliet,  just  outside 
Albany,  she  gathered  about  her  a  small  group  of  faith- 
ful followers  whose  zealotrv  had  been  stirred  by  the 
Great  Awakening.    For  the  next  ten  vears  she  traveled 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


extensively  on  missionary  journeys  in  western  Massa- 
chusetts and  upper  Connecticut,  making  converts  in 
many  hamlets,  and  meeting  the  violent  hostility  that 
was  the  lot  of  St.  Paid  and  of  most  of  the  more  liberal 
Calvinists  of  New  England.  It  was  a  grim  record  of 
mobbings,  beatings,  jailings,  and  harrassments;  indeed, 
she  died  in  1784  at  the  age  of  48,  as  much  from  the 
privations  and  trials  she  had  endured  as  from  any  other 
single  thing. 

Within  three  years  her  scattered  followers  in  east- 
ern New  York  had  been  organized,  "gathered"  as  the 
Shakers  put  it,  into  a  community  at  New  Lebanon, 
New  York,  on  lovely  upland  acres  on  the  side  of  Leb- 
anon Mountain,  astraddle  the  New  York-Massachusetts 
boundary.  This  gradually  grew  into  the  Mother  House 
of  the  Order,  and  at  the  period  of  its  greatest  size,  in- 
cluded 600  brethren  and  sisters,  each  sex  living  in  its 
own  quarters.  The  community  consisted  of  eight  sub- 
communities  called  Families,  and  for  the  most  part 
designated  by  geographical  location,  as  the  East  Fam- 
ily, South  Family,  etc.  The  original  nucleus  of  each 
community  was  known  as  the  Church  Family;  the  cen- 
tral meeting  house  was  there  located,  and  in  that 
Family  dwelt  the  covenant  or  full-fledged  members, 
gathered  in  from  novitiate  families.  By  1850  the  or- 
iginal handful  had,  in  the  18  established  communities, 
grown  to  some  6000  people.  These  communities  were 
located  in  seven  states:  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Mas- 
sachusetts, Connecticut,  New  York,  Ohio  and  Kentucky. 
Sporadic  and  ephemeral  groups  were  organized  in 
Indiana,  Georgia,  Florida,  and  Philadelphia;  they  lasted 
but  a  few  years. 

By  the  time  of  the  Civil  War,  an  obvious  decline 
had  set  in.  That  conflict  was  unkindest  to  the  Ken- 
tucky communities,  which  were  raided  regularly  by 
both  armies.  It  is  pathetically  ironic  that  this  decline 
began  in  Kentucky,  as  it  was  from  that  state  that  there 
came  the  greatest  influx  of  members  (at  the  time  of 
the  Kentucky  Bevival)  and  the  greatest  outpouring 
of  Shaker  music. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  but  two  active  com- 
munities, one  at  Sabbathday  Lake,  Maine,  and  the 
other  at  East  Canterbury,  New  Hampshire;  the  latter 
village  holds  nine  elderly  sisters  and  is  the  present  Moth- 
er House,  while  at  Maine  there  are  thirteen  sisters;  two 
live  outside.  The  last  remaining  Shaker  brother,  Del- 
rhar  C.  Wilson,  died  in  December  1961.  He  was  a 
delightful  and  exceedingly  active  old  man  of  88.  Bro- 
ther Delmar  exemplified  the  diversity  of  gifts  so 
characteristic  of  these  people:  he  was  a  business  man, 
surveyor,  artist,  photographer,  orchardist,  farmer, 
plumber,  electrician,  carpenter,  cabinet  maker  and 
general  handyman,  at  most  of  which  occupations  he  was 
active  until  his  death.     Maine  has   the  distinction   of 


having  the  oldest  Shaker  (91)  and  the  youngest  (36). 

The  reasons  for  the  decline  of  the  Shaker  Church 
(or,  to  use  the  technical  name,  the  United  Society  of 
Believers  in  Christ's  Second  Appearing)  are  many. 
Celibacy  naturally  played  a  part,  though  a  minor  one 
(their  numbers  had  increased  by  conversion  of  adults, 
by  the  raising  of  children  of  converts  who  came  into 
the  Order  with  their  parents,  and  by  the  adoption  of 
orphans);  much  more  important  was  the  fact  that 
Communism,  whether  religious  or  political,  by  its  na- 
ture will  not  work.  Internal  friction,  mismanagement 
of  temporal  affairs,  idealism  that  at  times  refused  to 
see  the  spots  on  the  apple,  inability  or  disinclination 
to  adapt  hand  skills  to  the  demands  of  modern  mass 
production,  the  refusal  to  compromise  religious  con- 
victions to  the  siren  call  of  The  World  —  all  these  and 
other  reasons  forced  the  Shakers  to  retreat  ever  more 
and  more  into  their  cloistered  walls.  They  never  mixed 
in  politics  nor  voted,  they  were  in  the  world  but  not  of 
it  —  and  idealism  of  that  type  cannot  long  survive  on 
its  own.  Of  all  the  large  numbers  of  communities  that 
erupted  in  the  mid-1800's,  and  of  the  Utopias  that  came 
to  birth  in  that  interesting  century,  only  that  of  the 
Believers  (or  Shaking  Quakers,  as  they  had  been  nick- 
named)  endured,  intact  as  at  the  beginning. 

Pioneer  people  in  general,  and  seemingly  Yankees 
in  particular,  have  long  been  noted  for  their  ingenuity 
and  inventiveness;  and  of  all  the  Yankees,  the  Shakers, 
with  their  predominantly  Scots-English  ancestry,  seem 
to  have  been  the  quintessence.  The  list  of  their  in- 
ventions and  contributions  to  the  welfare  of  the  coun- 
try as  a  whole  is  astonishing.  In  1789  the  famous 
Shaker  chair  industry  was  established,  with  no  furni- 
ture other  than   chairs   and   footstools   ever  made  for 


Shaker  sisters'  workroom   for  cutting   garments, 
making     rugs,     etc.       Shaker    attic     is     beyond.

public  sale.  However,  this  industry  had  to  wait  until 
about  1852  to  adopt  mass-production  methods.  The 
chairs  were  very  early,  perhaps  about  1820,  seated  with 
woven  tapes,  which  appear  forty  years  later  in  Scandi- 
navia (the  Shakers  had  made  some  Swedish  converts). 

In  1794  the  equally  famous  packaged-seed  indus- 
try was  set  up— the  first  such  in  this  country.  Always 
practical  farmers,  the  Shakers  knew  too  well  the  in- 
furiation  of  farmers  over  seed  that  would  not  germin- 
ate or  run  true  to  type,  so  they  applied  themselves  to 
improve  and  standardize  strains  of  a  large  number  of 
garden  seeds.  Shaked  seed  routes  went  as  far  west 
as  Texas  (for  the  Southern  communities)  and  Michi- 
gan, and  the  entire  length  of  the  Atlantic  seaboard. 


Broom  corn  was  raised  in  1781  at  the  Watervleit  settle- 
ment, and  by  1798  the  growing  of  this  corn  and  making 
of  brooms  for  market  was  an  established  industry.  All 
broom-tying  machinery  now  used  is  Shaker  inspired. 
Indeed,  so  neat  and  tidy  were  these  people  that  it  can 
be  truly  said  that  the  broom  is  perhaps  the  most  fitting 
symbol  of  their  faith  —  "for,"  said  Mother  Ann,  "there 
is  no  dirt  in  heaven!"  The  year  1800  saw  the  establish- 
ment of  the  other  great  Shaker  industry,  the  growing, 
processing,  and  packaging  of  medicinal  herbs  and  sim- 
ples. Indeed,  theirs  was  the  very  first  pharmaceutical 
business  in  the  United  States;  the  Tilden  Company  of 
New  Lebanon,  and  the  first  pharmaceutical  house 
(three  miles  from  the  great  Shaker  village)  was  not 
established  until  1824. 

The  list  of  inventions  and  practical  adaptations  is 
more  or  less  limited.  The  famous  Shaker  stoves,  an 
adaptation  of  the  Franklin  stove,  appeared  about  1800. 
Sister  Tabitha  Babbitt  (born  Sarah  Babbitt)  of  Har- 
vard, Massachusetts,  introduced  the  circular  saw  to  this 
country;  in  1826  David  N.  Smith  invented  a  planing  ma- 
chine, and  in  1828  Henry  Bennett  and  Amos  Bisby  of 
Mt.  Lebanon  produced  a  machine  for  tonguing  and 
grooving  boards.  A  short  listing  of  other  commonly- 
accepted  inventions  will  cause  astonishment;  the  screw 
propeller,  babbitt  metal  (probably  invented  by  Dan- 
iel W.  Baird  of  North  Union,  Ohio),  a  rotary  harrow,  a 
speed  governor  for  an  overshot  water  wheel;  a  turbine 
water  wheel,  cut  nails  (Tabitha  Babbitt  is,  among  oth- 
er people,  credited  with  this  also),  a  very  famous  im- 
proved washing  machine  for  commercial  installations 
that  took  the  Gold  Medal  at  the  Philadelphia  Centen- 
nial Exposition,  a  pipe  machine,  pea  sheller,  first  Am- 
erican one-horse  wagon,  the  machine-made  common 
and  snap-clothespins,  silk-reeling  machine  (a  Shaker- 
introduced  industry),  metal  pens,  the  flat  (as  against 
the  round  or  "Indian")  broom,  printing  presses  for 
printing  seed  bags  and  herb  packages,  machinery  for 
filling  herb  packages,  and  a  great  number  more. 

Shaker  music,  too,  was  particularly  famous,  as 
that,  together  with  a  stylized  type  of  ritual  dance  or 
inarch  used  in  public  worship,  characterized  these  peo- 
ple above  all  others.  Shaker  music  seems  to  be  a  com- 
pound of  the  secular  folk  music,  chiefly  Scots-English, 
of  the  time,  together  with  Watt's  hymns,  Anglican 
hymns,  patriotic  songs  and  ballads,  all  melded  together 
with  a  dash  of  something  indefinable  yet  peculiarly 
Shaker.  For  many  years  this  music  was  written  down 
in  a  system  they  themselves  devised  for  members  who

pitch,  but  as  the  music,  until  very  late,  was  both  a  ca- 
pella  and  unison,  any  system  more  elaborate  was  not 
called  for.  A  recording  of  fourteen  of  these  songs  is 
available  from  the  Shaker  Museum. 

Students  of  religion,  not  to  mention  phychology, 
find  the  Shaker  faith  fascinating  to  study-  Basically 
the  Shakers'  religion  was  largely  that  of  their  spiritual 
parents,  the  Quakers,  but  with  interesting  variations. 
Their  foundress,  "Mother"  Ann  Lee,  they  considered 
the  Queen  of  Heaven,  the  Christ-spirit  reincarnate  in 
female  form  sent  to  redeem  womankind  as  Jesus,  that 
same  Christ-spirit  in  male  form,  was  apparently  sent 
to  redeem  male  humanity.  Neither  was  prayed  to  at 
the  beginning,  and  Ann  Lee  never,  since  both  were 
considered,  after  the  Judeo-Christian  concept,  mere 
prophets.  Therefore,  as  in  Christian  Science,  which 
borrowed  heavily  from  the  Shakers,  the  God-head  was 
considered  dual,  the  Father-Mother  God  of  the  Sci- 
entists. The  sin  of  Adam  was  the  lust  and  concu- 
piscence of  the  flesh;  indeed,  sexual  repressions  are 
painfully  apparent  in  practically  all  of  their  writings, 
from  hymns  to  books  of  theology.  The  basic  principles 
of  the  Order  are  Virgin  purity,  peace,  justice  and  love, 
as  expressed  in  the  celibate  life,  non-resistance  (they 
are  pacifists,  like  the  Quakers),  community  of  goods, 
and  universal  brotherhood.  From  the  beginning  they 
practiced  equality  of  the  sexes  in  all  things,  freedom 
of  speech  and  toleration  of  the  thought  and  religion 
of  others,  temperance  in  all  things,  practical  benevo- 
lence, and  true  democracy 


This  last  seems  sometimes  to  have  been  left  a  bit 
behind,  since  the  government  of  the  Church  was  tightly 
theocratic.  At  the  head  of  a  community  was  the  Min- 
istry, consisting  of  Ministry  Elders  and  Eldresses,  two 
of  each,  who  had  charge  of  the  spiritualities  of  the 
Church.  Below  and  responsible  to  them  were  the 
Trustees,  also  two  of  each  sex,  responsible  for  the 
temporalities.  Lowest  in  the  hierarchy  were  the  Dea- 
cons and  Deaconesses,  who  were  the  "straw-bosses" 
in  charge  of  the  kitchens,  gardens,  dairies,  infirmaries, 
and  all  the  various  shops  and  activities  of  the  commun- 
ity. Each  sub-community  or  Family  had  its  own  El- 
dership, Trusteeship,  and  Diaconate,  responsible  to 
and  taking  orders  from  the  Ministry.  Several  com- 
munities in  a  given  area  were  lumped  into  a  "bishop- 
ric," the  Ministry  Elders  of  which  were  occasionally 
spoken  of  as  Bishops,  but  with  none  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  or  Methodist  concepts  of  that  office.  The 
present  head  of  the  Shaker  Order  is  Eldress  Emma  B. 
King,  age  91,  who  is  at  once  a  Ministry  Eldress  (hav- 
ing general  oversight  of  both  existing  communities), 
Eldress  of  Canterbury,  and  Trustee  of  the  temporalit- 
ies.   All  officials  were  appointed  by  the  Ministry. 

It  is  this  fascinating  group  of  people  that  the 
Shaker  Museum,  located  in  Old  Chatham,  New  York 
(halfway  between  Albany  and  Pittsfield),  was  estab- 
lished to  honor,  and  whose  arts  and  skills,  industries, 
inventions,  faith,  and  voluminous  writings  it  preserves 
and  interprets.  The  collections  are  the  largest,  most 
comprehensive,  and  most  important  of  any  in  the  coun-

try,  and  consist  of  13,000  catalogued  items,  housed  in 
29  galleries  and  five  secondary  buildings.  Very  com- 
plete collections  of  the  magnificently  simple  and  beau- 
tifully constructed  furniture  are  attractively  displayed 
in  rooms  reflecting  the  original  settings;  many  types  of 
shops  are  found  fully  equipped  to  make  brooms,  tin- 
ware, shoes,  furniture,  oval  boxes,  ironwork,  textiles, 
etc. 

The  Museum  Library  has  one  of  the  richest  col- 
lections in  die  country  of  bound  volumes  on  and  by 
the  Shakers,  together  with  a  very  rich  selection  of 
unique  and  priceless  manuscripts.  This  library  is 
available  for  research  to  qualified  people  upon  appli- 
cation to  the  Director.  Much  work  has  already  been 
done  in  it  on  Shaker  music,  theology,  and  economics. 
It  is  constantly,  though  slowly  (owing  to  the  scarcity 
of  available  material),  being  enriched.  This  section  of 
the  Museum  is  open  throughout  the  year,  as  is  the 
Museum  office.  The  galleries  are  closed  from  Novem- 
ber 1  to  May  1  since  the  buildings  are  unheated  and  the 
number  of  people  wishing  to   go  through   too   small. 


From  May  1  through  October  it  is  open  seven  davs  a 
week;  over  10,000  people  visit  it  annually,  including 
busloads  of  school  children,  club  groups,  etc. 

The  first  weekend  in  August  is  the  annual  two- 
day  Festival,  at  which  Shaker  ritual  dances  and  music 
are  presented,  the  institution  is  staffed  with  costumed 
hostesses,  an  antique  automobile  meet  is  held,  and  an 
antique  show  of  some  25  of  the  finest  dealers  in  the 
East  call  as  many  as  2500  visitors  to  the  grounds.  The 
Museum  has  a  number  of  publications  for  sale  on  many 
phases  of  Shakerism;  slide  lectures  are  available  on  loan 
without  charge  except  for  mailing  to  schools,  colleges, 
libraries,  and  other  educational  institutions  and  groups. 
The  Director  is  available  for  winter  lectures. 

The  Museum,  now  entering  its  fourteenth  year,  is 
chartered  by  the  Regents  of  the  University  of  the  State 
of  New  York,  and  eagerly  seeks  to  interpret  to  the 
American  people  their  considerable  heritage  from  this 
most  interesting  and  significant  group  of  Utopians,  the 
United  Societv  of  Believers.

Teaching    Team    at    Selinsgrove    High    School    —    Linda    Leach, 
Toby  Brodisch,  Linda  Rambler,  Thomas  Manley,  James  Richards 


Team  Teaching 


by   RONALD   BERKHEIMER 


Oxe  of  the  newest  and  most  promising  educa- 
tional techniques  is  known  as  "team  teaching." 

Educators  have  predicted  that  it  will  be  widely 
adopted  in  the  future,  but  at  present  it  is  being  used 
by  only  a  small  number  of  schools. 

One  of  these  is  Selinsgrove  High  School,  where 
ICth  grade  biology  is  taught  by  this  method.  The  pro- 
gram there  has  been  so  successful  that  school  officials 
are  considering  its  adoption  in  other  subjects,  such  as 
general  science  and  problems  of  democracy. 

Focus,  a  magazine  read  by  educators  throughout 
Pennsylvania,  printed  a  feature  article  about  the  pro- 
gram at  Selinsgrove  High  School  in  a  recent  issue. 

Susquehanna  University  is  involved  in  the  pro- 
gram, too,  since  S.  U.  provides  the  high  school  with 
student  teachers.  During  the  recently  completed  spring 
semester,  two  Susquehanna  seniors— Georgiann  Brod- 
isch of  Millerstown,  Pa.  and  Linda  Leach   of  Windber, 


Pa.— participated  in  team  teaching  under  the  direction 
of  Thomas  R.  Manley,  head  of  the  high  school's  science 
department. 

Both  Miss  Brodisch  and  Miss  Leach  consider  it  a 
valuable  experience.  Robert  M.  Bastress  '39,  assistant 
professor  of  education  at  Susquehanna  and  coordinator 
of  S.  U.'s  student  teaching  program,  also  predicts  that 
"this  will  be  an  excellent  item  for  them  to  have  on  their 
records.  The  fact  that  they  have  had  team  teaching 
experience  will  attract  the  attention  of  a  lot  of  pros- 
pective employers." 

Briefly,  this  is  the  team  teaching  plan  at  Selins- 
grove High: 

Tenth  grade  biology  is  taught  at  three  levels— for 
students  in  the  academic,  commercial,  and  practical 
arts  courses.  The  students  in  each  course  are  further 
divided  into  three  sections,  grouped  homogeneously 
according  to  their  aptitudes,  thus  allowing  the  teaching 


JULY    1963 


13 


team  to  adapt  its  instruction  to  the  abilities  of  each  sec- 
tion. 

Each  course  level  meets  as  a  group  of  60  to  100 
students  every  Monday  in  the  high  school  auditorium, 
where  the  teachers  introduce  the  material  to  be  covered 
during  the  remainder  of  the  week.  Then,  each  section 
or  small  group  meets  on  Tuesday  or  Wednesday  to 
discuss  the  material  on  its  own  level. 

In  addition,  a  double-period  (100-minute)  labora- 
tory each  week  gives  every  student  a  chance  to  work 
with  the  plants  and  animals  currently  being  studied 
and  another  large-group  meeting  on  Friday  allows  the 
teachers  to  review  and  summarize  the  material  pre- 
sented during  the  week. 

It  has  already  been  suggested  that  one  of  the  ad- 
vantages of  the  plan  is  that  it  gives  the  teachers  a 
chance  to  tailor  their  instruction  to  the  learning  speed 
of  each  group.  But  it  is  also  more  flexible  than  con- 
ventional teaching  in  several  other  respects.  For  ex- 
ample, each  teacher  can  concentrate  on  those  areas  in 
which  he  feels  most  competent  or  in  which  he  has  the 
greatest  interest.  Moreover,  any  class  or  laboratory  can 
be  taught  by  one  or  more  teachers,  depending  upon 
the  day's  subject  matter. 

At  least  once  a  week  the  teaching  team  meets  in 
conference  to  discuss  its  progress  and  the  subject  ma- 
terial and  to  exchange  ideas.  These  discussions  are 
led  by  the  master  teacher,  Mr.  Manley,  who  is  in 
charge  of  the  program  and  charts  its  course.  Mr.  Man- 
ley  has  a  bachelor's  degree  from  Fairmont  State  Col- 
lege, Fairmont,  W.  Va.,  and  a  master  of  science  degree 
in  genetics  from  West  Virginia  University.  In  addition, 
he  worked  toward  his  doctorate  for  a  year  at  Ohio 
State  University  and  attended  Yale  University  for  an- 
other year  as  a  John  Hay  Fellow.  He  also  has  spent 
three  summers  at  Yale  working  on  a  research  project  in 
evolutionary  entomology  through  a  National  Science 
Foundation  grant. 

The  fourth  member  of  the  team  is  James  Richards, 
a  biology  teacher  at  the  high  school.  Valuable  assist- 
ance also  is  provided  by  the  high  school  librarian, 
Miss  Linda  Rambler. 

Perhaps  the  biggest  advantage  of  team  teaching 
is  that  it  breaks  up  the  routine  —  for  both  student  and 
teacher.  By  watching  their  fellow  teachers  and  ex- 
changing ideas  with  one  another,  the  teachers  are  stim- 
ulated to  do  better  work  and  maintain  a  fresh  approach 
to  the  subject.  The  students  enjoy  the  variety  of  lis- 
tening to  different  teachers  and  of  being  in  a  large 
group  one  day  and  in  a  small  group  or  laboratory  the 
next  day. 

One  thing  which  might  be  considered  a  drawback 
is  that  the  program  requires  a  great  deal  of  prepar- 
ation. 


S.    U.'s   student  teachers  take   part 
in    both    lecture    and    lab    periods. 


"Extra  time  for  preparation  and  research,  not  only 
in  subject  matter  but  in  manner  of  presentation,  is  es- 
sential," Mr.  Manley  noted.  "The  gamut  of  audio- 
visual materials  must  be  known  and  available  for  use." 

"However,  the  hours  of  preparation  will  be  re- 
warded by  a  masterful  preparation  enthusiastically  ac- 
cepted by  the  students,  from  which  much  learning  will 
result,"  he  added. 

Mr.  Manley  also  spoke  glowingly  about  the  caliber 
of  the  work  which  the  two  Susquehanna  student  teach- 
ers contributed  to  the  program. 

"Linda  (Miss  Leach)  and  Toby  (Miss  Brodisch) 
worked  very  hard  preparing  their  lectures,  grading 
quizzes,  drawing  a  variety  of  charts,  etc.  Their  en- 
thusiasm for  their  work  and  their  value  to  the  team 
teaching  program  cannot  be  minimized,"  he  said.

SUSQUEHANNA   ALUMNUS 


Record-setting  S.  U.  Tennis  Squad 


Tennis  Team  Finishes  10-2,  Best  Yet 


As  if  determined  to  prove  the 
old  adage  that  "what  happens 
twice  happens  thrice,"  Coach  Fred 
Grosses  tennis  squad  became  the 
third  Susquehanna  University 
athletic  team  within  the  1962-63 
academic  year  to  set  a  new  all-time 
university  record  for  victories  in  a 
single  season. 

The  Crusader  netsters  turned  in 
a  fine  10-2  record,  won  their  final 
seven  matches,  and  finished  a 
strong  third  in  the  Northern  Col- 
lege Division  of  the  Middle  Atlan- 
tic Conference. 

Unfortunately,  both  of  the  Sus- 
quehanna losses  were  in  confer- 
ence competition— to  Dickinson  and 
Lycoming  by  identical  scores  of 
7-2.  Lycoming  went  on  to  tie  La- 
fayette for  first  place  as  each  turn- 
ed in  MAC  records  of  7  wins  and 
2  losses,  compared  to  S.U.'s  6-2. 
However,  the  Crusaders  managed 
to  gain  revenge  against  Lycoming 
by  beating  the  Lycos  5-4  in  a  re- 
turn  match. 

Even  though  the  Crusaders  nar- 
rowlv   missed   out   on    the   confer- 


ence championship,  they  still  had 
quite  a  season.  No  previous  S.U. 
tennis  team  ever  won  more  than  7 
matches  in  a  single  campaign.  The 
1961  squad,  coached  by  Amos 
Alonzo  Stagg  Jr.,  finished  with  a 
7-5  log  and  the  1962  squad,  under 
Mr.  Grosse,  wound  up  with  a  7-6 
record. 

Following  on  the  heels  of  the 
"winningest"  football  (9-0)  and 
basketball  (20-4)  campaigns  in 
S.U.  history,  the  tennis  squad's  per- 
formance assured  the  recently  com- 
pleted school  year  of  a  prominent 
place  in  the  university's  athletic 
record  books. 

Amazing  Clark  Mosier,  highest 
scoring  basketball  player  ever  to 
perform  for  the  Orange  and  Mar- 
oon, also  turned  in  the  most  im- 
pressive individual  tennis  record. 
Mosier,  who  never  played  compe- 
titive tennis  before  the  spring  of 
1962,  lost  his  first  match  this 
spring  and  then  won  his  last  11. 
He  polished  off  most  of  his  oppon- 
ents by  one-sided  scores,  although 
Coach     Grosse    gradually    moved 


him  up  from  the  number  four  to 
number  two  position. 

Jerry  Melech  and  Dave  Sales,  a 
pair  of  promising  freshmen,  posted 
5-2  and  7-3  records,  respectively, 
and  Sales  teamed  up  with  the 
squad's  No.  1  player,  Wally  Woer- 
nle,  to  form  a  nifty  doubles  com- 
bination which  turned  in  a  7-1 
mark. 

The  netmen  were  forced  to  over- 
come several  minor  handicaps  dur- 
ing the  course  of  the  season.  To 
begin  with,  they  had  to  hold  their 
first  several  weeks  of  practices 
from  11  p.  m.  until  midnight  be- 
cause at  the  time  they  were  shar- 
ing the  limited  facilities  of  Alumni 
Gymnaium  with  the  men's  and 
women's  basketball  teams  and  the 
football  team,  which  was  engaged 
in  spring  training.  When  basket- 
ball season  ended  and  warmer 
weather  finally  arrived,  the  heavy 
traffic  in  the  gymnasium  subsided. 

Woemle  and  another  regular  play- 
er, Bob  Summer,  both  missed 
matches  because  they  were  involv- 
ed in  extracurricular  music  activit- 
ies. Even  Coach  Grosse  missed  two 
contests  when  he  came  down  with 
an  attack  of  chicken  pox.  His  as- 
sistant, Jim  Herb,  took  over  and  S. 
U.  won  both. 

What  are  Susquehanna's  tennis 
prospects  for  next  year?  Grosse  re- 
luctantly admits  that  "we  probably 
won't  be  quite  as  strong,  since  we 
lose  three  lettermen— Mosier,  Sum- 
mer, and  Jack  Graham.  Woemle 
will  be  back  and  should  be  a  very 
strong  No.  1  man  next  year,  but 
some  of  die  other  players  may  have 
a  hard  time  winning  at  No.  2  and 
No.  3"— the  positions  vacated  by 
Mosier  and  Summer. 

"It  will  depend  on  what  kind  of 
new  material  we  get,"  Grosse  add- 
ed. "If  we  come  up  with  three 
more  freshmen  like  Sales,  Melech, 
and  Wayne  Fisher,  we'll  be  pretty 
tough,  but  that  may  be  a  lot  to 
hope  for."

Overall  Spring 
Sports  Record 
Is  Only  So-So 

Susquehanna's  four  spring  sports 
teams  completed  the  1963  season 
with  a  composite  record  of  24  vic- 
tories and  29  losses. 

The  baseball  and  tennis  squads 
had  winning  records,  with  the  ten- 
nis squad  (10-2)  reaching  an  all- 
time  Susquehanna  high  for  victor- 
ies attained  in  a  single  season. 

However,  the  golf  and  track 
teams  were  less  fortunate,  finishing 
with  1-11  and  2-8  records,  respect- 
ively. 

Strong  pitching  carried  coach 
Jim  Garrett's  baseballers  to  an  11-8 
mark,  despite  the  fact  that  the  Cru- 
saders had  a  team  batting  average 
of  only  .202. 

Sophomore  righthander  Jim 
Gibney  was  voted  the  team's  most 
valuable  player  and  received  the 
trophy  presented  annually  by 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity.  Gib- 
ney won  7  games,  lost  2,  compiled 
an  earned  run  average  of  3.03  and 
struck  out  69  opposing  batters  in 
62 1/3  innings  of  pitching.  He 
walked  only  11. 

John  Vignone,  sophomore  center- 
fielder,  led  the  team  in  hitting  for 
the  second  straight  year  with  an 
average  of  .314.  He  also  paced 
the  Crusaders  in  home  runs  (4) 
and  runs  batted  in  ( 15 ) .  Joe  Billig, 
a  junior  pitcher-outfielder,  batted 
.295  and  Don  Green,  junior  left- 
fielder,  was  tops  in  runs  scored 
(16)  and  stolen  bases  (9). 

Bill  Gerkens,  junior  second  base- 
man, was  elected  captain  for  the 
1964  season.  Two  of  this  spring's 
highlights  were  sophomore  Jim 
Hutchinson's  no-hitter  against  Ly- 
coming in  his  first  college  starting 
assignment  and  a  come-from-be- 
hind  10-9  victory  over  nearby  rival 
Bucknell  in  the  last  game  of  the 
season. 


Sprint  star  Larry  Erdman  domin- 
ated most  of  the  track  headlines. 
The  leading  ground  gainer  for  the 
football  team  last  fall,  Erdman 
established  what  are  believed  to  be 
new  school  records  and  University 
Field  records  in  the  100  and  220- 
yard  dashes,  running  the  100  in  10 
seconds  flat  and  the  220  in  21.75. 
He  was  the  track  squad's  top  point 
producer  with  a  total  of  74/4  points 
in  one  triangular  and  eight  dual 
meets. 

Pete  Freimanis  was  second  in 
scoring  with  47  points  and  set  new 
university  records  in  the  high  jump 
(5-10)  and  javelin  (167-2).  An- 
other record-breaker  was  Walt 
Henss,  who  now  holds  the  S.  U. 
discus  record  with  a  toss  of  123-1 
and  the  shotput  mark  with  a  heave 
of  42-3.  Henss  was  the  No.  3  scor- 
er with  40  points.  Erdman,  Frei- 
manis and  Henss  all  were  sopho-

mores,  which  gives  Coach  Bob 
Windish  hopes  for  a  more  success- 
ful season  next  spring. 

Golf  Coach  John  Barr  had  look- 
ed forward  to  starting  the  1963 
season  with  what  he  thought  would 
be  a  strong  squad,  but  his  plans 
were  rudely  shattered  at  the  end 
of  the  first  semester  when  the  team 
lost  its  four  top  1962  players 
through  ineligibility  and  transfers 
to  other  universities. 

Dominated  by  freshmen,  Barr's 
team  showed  improvement  as  the 
season  progressed,  but  managed  to 
score  only  one  victory.  Art  Bros- 
ius,  a  junior,  played  well  in  the 
tough  No.  1  position  and  placed 
sixth  in  a  field  of  100  golfers  com- 
peting in  the  Middle  Atlantic  Con- 
ference championships  May  13  at 
the  Oak  Terrace  Country  Club  of 
Philadelphia.

SUSQUEHANNA   ALUMNUS 


MEMO 


by  JOHN  S.   HENDRICKS  '57 
Director    of    Alumni    Relations 


from  the  Alumni  Office 


Who's   to    Blame? 

The  year-to-date  progress  on  the  1963  Loyalty 
Fund  (page  18)  leaves  much  to  he  desired.  Possibly 
our  optimism  in  observing  the  past  three  years'  per- 
formance is  too  great— three  successive  goals  surpassed 
with  dollars  to  spare!  Naturally,  we  expect  the  trend 
to  continue.  The  Loyalty  Fund  Committee,  headed 
by  Dr.  Ralph  Geigle,  showed  great  enthusiasm  at  our 
pre-fund  meeting  in  the  fall.  Our  initial  mailings  were 
right  on  time  and,  as  though  indicative  of  even  greater 
successes,  the  support  of  early  donors  was  good.  Each 
gift  seemed  to  be  just  a  little  bigger  than  last  year  and 
our  Century  Club  memberships  were  running  10  to  20 
percent  ahead. 

But  sometime  during  the  month  of  March— right 
about  the  time  so  many  of  our  volunteer  workers  were 
making  their  personal  solicitations— we  noted  a  definite 
slow-down  in  the  incoming  gifts.  At  present  we  can 
point  to  the  less-than-$100  contributions  as  our  biggest 
deficiency!  It  is  in  this  area  we  have  placed  so  many 
of  our  hopes  for  success  because  through  these  loyal 
givers  we  are  seeking  to  increase  the  percentage  of 
Susquehannans  who  contribute. 

Normally,  our  personal  solicitation  by  over  200 
workers  results  in  the  attainment  of  this  objective- 
such  has  not  been  the  case  thus  far  this  year.  Who's 
to  blame?  Surely  not  the  volunteers  who  did  so  very 
much  to  make  a  success  of  the  program— their  efforts 
can  be  rewarded  only  through  feelings  of  personal 
satisfaction  in  knowing  that  it  lias  been  a  job  well 
done.  Can  the  blame  be  placed  upon  the  University 
and  its  representatives  for  showing  a  lack  of  progress 
back  on  campus?  Most  assuredly  this  could  not  be 
the  case— many,  many  returning  alumni  have  remarked 
about  the  unbelievable  job  that  has  been  accomplished 
in  improving  your  Alma  Mater.  Have  we  asked  for 
too  much  in  expecting  at  least  half  of  the  alumni  to 
support  their  Alma  Mater?  Personally,  I  do  not  think 
so!  Haverford  College,  with  a  total  alumni  body  of 
3800  (200  less  than  our  own  S.  U.)  recently  reported 
62  percent  effectiveness  or  2340  contributors  to  a  cur- 
rent campaign  for  funds.     This  is  an  outstanding  ex- 


ample of  what  a  strong  alumni  group  can  do.     Surely 
we  can  at  least  match  it— or  can  we? 

More  and  more  we  are  becoming  aware  that  the 
most  important  contribution  is  the  one  that  you  make 
—not  necessarily  the  $5000  gift  your  classmate  sent  in 
(although  we  certainly  need  these  too)  or  the  $10  gift 
from  another  Susquehannan  you  know,  but  the  dollars 
that  come  from  your  own  pocket,  your  share  is  the 
one  that  counts— it  serves  notice  to  all  that  you  have 
counted  yourself  among  others  who  really  care  what 
happens  at  your  Alma  Mater— Susquehanna  University. 
So,  Who  is  to  blame? 

Matching    Gifts 

Just  before  we  went  to  press— and  after  the  class 
tabulations  and  Decade  Results  were  compiled— our 
Fund  received  one  of  its  largest  Matching  Gifts  on 
record:  $1000  from  the  Stackpole  Holl  Foundation, 
matching  an  equivalent  two-year  donation  from  Dr. 
Erie  I.  Shobert  II  '35,  hc'57  of  the  Stackpole  Carbon 
Company.  Over  the  years,  S.  U.  has  not  received  many 
Matching  Gifts.  Perhaps  this  is  because  we  don't 
have  many  alumni  working  for  companies  which  par- 
ticipate, perhaps  some  have  failed  to  check  on  whether 
or  not  their  employers  participate. 

All  alumni  were  sent  an  up-to-date  list  of  Match- 
ing Gift  companies  with  our  first  Fund  mailing.  Why 
not  check  now?  If  your  employer  does  not  now  par- 
ticipate in  Matching  Gifts,  perhaps  you  can  be  instru- 
mental in  having  him  do  so.  Most  firms  which  do, 
have  joined  the  plan  after  just  such  personal  sugges- 
tions from  employees  who  are  enthusiastic  about  high- 
er education  and  their  own  alma  mater. 

The   Alumni    Census 

With  the  recent  publication  of  the  1963  Alumni 
Directory  we  prepared  a  comparative  census  of  alumni 
distribution,  1954  vs.  1963.  Along  with  an  overall  25 
percent  increase  in  the  size  of  our  alumni  body  we 
have  corresponding  increases  in  many  of  the  states. 

The  Professions— as  of  this  year  we  have  301  pas- 
tors, deaconesses,  etc.,  1071  educators,  24  lawyers  and 
156  doctors  of  medicine.

Advanced  Degrees— 261  have  obtained  their  doc- 
torate, 470  hold  master's  degrees,  95  hold  honorary 
degrees  and  250  hold  advanced  degrees  other  than 
those  mentiond. 

For  our  geographic  breakdown,  see  the  accom- 
panying list. 

Who    Is    a    Susquehanna    Alumnus? 

Quite  often  during  district  club  meetings,  fund 
solicitations,  and  day-by-day  contact  with  the  alumni 
I  am  asked  about  the  membership  status  in  the  Alumni 
Association  of  a  certain  individual  —  usually  a  non- 
graduate.  To  clear  up  this  question,  let  me  quote  from 
the  Constitution  and  By-Laws: 

"Article  III— Membership— Any  person  who  has 
received  a  degree  from  Susquehanna  University 
or  successfully  completed  one  semester  of  study 
at  the  University  or  its  predecessor  organizations 
shall  be  a  member  of  the  Association.  Other 
persons  who  are  recommended  by  a  majority  vote 
of  the  members  present  at  the  annual  meeting 
shall  be  Honorary  Members  of  the  Association." 

There  are  no  annual  dues  required  for  member- 
ship in  the  Alumni  Association;  however,  as  stipulated 
in  the  Constitution  ".  .  .  regular  contributions  are  ex- 
pected in  lieu  of  membership  dues."

Do  You  Remember  When? 


Fifty  Years  Ago  . . . 

Ralph  Witmer  '15,  president  of  the 
Snyder  County  Trust  Co.,  was  playing 
center  position  on  the  S.U.  basketball 
team  in  a  game  against  Bucknell.  Early 
in  the  first  half  he  was  sidelined  when 
his  nose  was  broken  by  a  head-on  col- 
lision with  one  of  the  Bucknellians.  Dur- 
ing the  same  game,  Dr.  L.  G.  Shannon 
'15,  retired  minister,  was  injured  but 
was  able  to  finish  the  game.  Although 
the  final  score  was  contested  it  stood  21- 
18  in  favor  of  Bucknell. 

During  June  1913,  the  $20,000  Charles 
Steele  Science  Hall  was  dedicated.  (To- 
day—50  years  later— the  new  science 
building  is  under  construction  at  a  cost 
of  $1,100,000!) 

On  June  11,  50  years  ago,  Helen  Fish- 
er, senior  class  valedictorian  presented 
the  graduation  oration,  "Unhappy  Mex- 
ico." 

During  the  Commencement  season 
Board  member  William  Decker,  now 
deceased,  pledged  $25,000  to  the  en- 
dowment fund  of  Susquehanna.  The 
gift  was  to  be  paid  in  five  equal  annual 


payments  unless  the  board  of  directors 
would  raise  an  additional  fund  of  $75,000 
within  the  year.  He  would  then  make 
an  immediate  and  full  settlement  of  the 
generous   pledge. 

Forty   Years  Ago  .  .  . 

Maty  Beck  Grant  '23,  currently  living 
in  Snow  Hill,  Md.,  was  elected  May 
Queen  in  1923.  Dorothy  Margerum  App 
'23,  now  of  Elizabethville,  Pa.,  was  her 
Lady-in-Waiting. 

The  Bev.  /.  Wilson  Kepner  '24,  a  min- 
ister in  Baltimore,  Md.,  was  elected 
editor  of  The  Susquehanna,  student  pa- 
per. 

Thirty   Years  Ago  .  .  . 

1933  appeared  to  be  the  year  of  acci- 
dents—in February  Ted  Hutchison  '34, 
Richard  Shade  '34  and  Fred  Biltman  '36 
survived  an  auto  crash  while  returning 
from  an  orchestra  engagement  ( Ted  was 
driving)— in  April  Al  Meyer  and  Martin 
Graykoskie,  both  of  the  class  of  '36,  nar- 
rowly escaped  death  when  their  car  ov- 
erturned   south    of    Selinsgrove  —  George 


"Jack"  Spaid  '29  suffered  severe  injuries 
when  he  crashed  in  his  newly  purchased 
airplane— in  May  1933  the  Susquehanna 
Relay  Team,  George  T ruckenmiller  '33, 
Bill  Swarm  '33,  John  Oherdorf  '34  and 
Coach  Herb  Snell  33',  was  involved  in 
an  accident  while  returning  in  Snell's 
Peerless  roadster  from  the  Penn  Relays. 

Twenty  Years  Ago  .  .  . 

During  the  summer  of  1943  Susque- 
hanna abandoned  intercollegiate  football 
because  of  lack  of  manpower.  Baseball, 
track  and  tennis  had  also  been  dropped 
during  the  spring  of  that  year. 

Many  Susquehannans  were  now  in  the 
armed  forces  serving  all  over  the  world: 
Xavier  Abbott  '35  was  serving  in  North 
Africa  as  a  corporal;  Ensign  Clyde  Spitz- 
ncr  '37  had  just  returned  from  foreign 
convoy  service  with  the  Navy;  and  Ed- 
ward E.  Richards  '47  was  serving  some- 
where where  he  hadn't  seen  a  white 
woman  in  eight  months;  however,  he  re- 
ported that  they  were  returning  him  to 
the  States  to  act  as  a  drill  instructor  for 
WAAC  recruits.

ON    OUR   COVER 

"Our  students  saw  what  communist 
control  is  without  anybody  making  a 
speech  about  it,"  commented  Dr.  Otto 
Reimherr,  associate  professor  of  philoso- 
phy and  religion  who  directed  Susque- 
hanna's European  Seminar  June  12- 
August  22.  Most  of  the  30  participants 
are  in  the  cover  picture,  taken  just  before 
take-off  by  S.A.S.  jet  at  New  York's  Idle- 
wild  International  Airport.  Purpose  of 
the  Seminar  was  to  study  Christianity  and 
Communism  in  Berlin  —  both  East  and 
West— and  to  concentrate  on  art  and  ar- 
chitecture in  the  museums  and  cities  of 
eight  countries  of  Western  Europe.  The 
Rev.  John  W.  Whetstone  of  die  Com- 
mission on  Church  Architecture,  Luther- 
an Church  in  America,  was  visiting  pro- 
fessor of  art  and  architecture. 


GOOD    LUCK,    JOHN 

John  Hendricks  '57  served  as  Director 
of  Alumni  Relations  for  about  14  months. 
He  has  just  left  to  return  to  his  former 
post  in  industry.  John's  contributions  to 
alumni  work  at  Susquehanna  cannot  be 
taken  lightly,  for  he  rendered  vigorous,  in- 
telligent, loyal  and  creative  service  to  his 
alma  mater.  The  stamp  of  his  leader- 
ship will  not  soon  be  forgotten.  Sincere 
thanks  to  John  and  to  his  family,  and 
best  wishes  for  the  future. 

Alumni  will  want  to  read  John's  own 
comments— they    appear    in    his    column 

MEMO    FROM    THE    ALUMNI    OFFICE,    page 
10. 

A  new  alumni  director  had  not  yet  been 
named  as  we  went  to  press,  but  the  an- 
nouncement was  expected  soon.  Mean- 
while, your  patience  is  requested  as  we 
try  to  keep  things  moving  in  the  interim.

SUSQUEHANNA   ALUMNUS 


PEE-DEE  ENT  .  . 

The  General  and  the  Man 


Airman,  leader  and  innovator,  this  son  of  Susquehanna  was 
among  the  most  illustrious  of  America's  military  figures. 


They  called  him  'Tee-Dee"  —  for  Pennsylvania 
Dutchman.  P.  D.  could  also  have  stood  for  Personal 
Determination,  for  this  was  the  trait  which  character- 
ized his  life  and  career. 

He  was  Major  General  Uzal  G.  Ent,  the  boy  from 
Northumberland,  Pa.  who  studied  at  Susquehanna  with 
the  class  of  1921  and  later  became  one  of  the  truly 
great  military  heroes  of  World  War  II.  Susquehanna 
paid  tribute  to  him  on  August  1 — 20th  anniversary  of 
his  most  famous  exploit— when  his  portrait,  given  anon- 
ymously, was  hung  in  historic  Selinsgrove  Hall. 

General  Ent's  entire  life  was  a  series  of  accom- 
plishments reflecting  skill,  courage  and  determination. 
He  is  probably  best  known  for  personally  leading  the 
August  1,  1943  low-level  bombing  attack  on  the  heav- 
ily-defended oil  refineries  at  Ploesti,  Romania,  where 
175  B-24  Liberators  of  U.  S.  Ninth  Air  Force  bombard- 
ment groups  dropped  300  tons  of  explosives. 

Back  in  1917,  after  graduating  from  Northumber- 
land High  School  at  the  age  of  16,  Ent  had  tried  to 
enlist  in  the  Army  but  was  turned  back  as  underage. 
That  fall  he  entered  Susquehanna  University  as  a  can- 
didate for  the  Lutheran  ministry.  Although  commuting 
to  classes  by  the  old  trolley  line  which  ran  from  North- 
umberland through  Sunbury  to  Selinsgrove,  the  youth 
was  active  on  campus.  He  joined  Alpha  Sigma  Omega 
(now  Phi  Mu  Delta)  fraternity,  and  played  football 
with  the  "Irregulars,"  a  team  which  engaged  in  several 
intercollegiate  games  after  95  percent  of  the  varsity 
had  "joined  up"  to  fight  World  War  I. 

Ent's  own  fond  desire  to  serve  in  the  armed  forces 
finally  won  out,  however,  when  he  dropped  out  of  col-

lege  and  enlisted  in  March  of  1918.  His  brother  Bill 
(formerly  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Police  and  now 
Justice  of  the  Peace  in  Mechanicsburg.  Pa. )  recalls  that 
Uzal  told  the  family  he'd  be  staying  on  campus  over- 
night, and  then  caught  the  train  to  Williamsport  instead 
of  the  trolley  to  Selinsgrove.  In  Williamsport,  he  join- 
ed a  group  of  Army  recruits.  The  family  received  word 
from  him  several  days  later  from  an  enlistment  center. 
During  World  War  I  he  served  in  a  balloon  company 
whose  experiments  were  valuable  in  developing  tech- 
niques for  observing  enemy  movements  in  trench  war- 
fare. 

Following  the  war  Ent  qualified  by  competitive 
examination  for  enrollment  in  the  U.  S.  Military  Acad- 
emy at  West  Point  in  1919.  Later  disqualified  for  fail- 
ing mathematics,  he  had  to  leave  the  Academy.  De- 
termined to  continue  his  military  training,  however, 
he  returned  to  Susquehanna  for  more  concentrated 
preparation  and  then  attended  a  special  school  for 
washed-out  cadets  seeking  reexamination.  He  was  re- 
appointed to  West  Point  in  June  1920  and  graduated 
four  years  later. 

Entering  the  pioneering  air  service,  the  future 
Major  General  soon  began  a  spectacular  career  in  that 
branch  of  the  Army  and  earned  a  wide  reputation  for 
successful  performance  in  peaceful  as  well  as  wartime 
pursuits. 

He  first  made  aviation  history  in  1928  by  landing 
an  Arm\'  blimp  on  the  deck  of  the  steamer  American 
Trader  three  miles  off  Ambrose  Light,  N.  Y.,  while  the 
ship  was  in  motion.  This  was  the  first  accomplishment 
of  such  a  feat. 

Also  in  1928,  he  entered  the  national  balloon  elim- 
ination race  at  Pittsburgh,  with  Lieutenant  Paul  Evert 
as  the  pilot.  A  bolt  of  lightning  killed  Evert  and  set 
the  balloon  afire.  Not  realizing  Evert  was  dead,  Ent 
refused  to  save  himself  by  bailing  out.  Instead,  he  tried 
without  success  to  revive  the  pilot,  and  eventually 
landed  the  flaming  bag  safely  even  though  he  was  un- 
der severe  shock  and  temporarily  paralyzed.  For  this 
act  of  courage,  he  received  both  the  annual  Cheney 
Award  (for  outstanding  achievement  in  aeronautics) 
and  the  Distinguished  Flying  Cross  from  President 
Calvin  Coolidge. 

His  military  carreer  continued  with  appointment 
to  posts  in  the  U.  S.  and  the  Philippine  Islands.  In 
1935  then-Captain  Ent  became  the  first  military  attache 
at  the  U.  S.  Embassy  in  Lima,  Peru.  Here  he  was  di- 
rectly responsible  for  ending  armed  conflict  between 
Bolivia  and  Peru  by  settling  a  bitter  border  war.  Flying 
the  rival  commanders  over  the  disputed  border,  he 
showed  them  that  it  was  a  jungle  area  not  worth  fight- 
ing for.     For  this  practical  solution  and  success  of  the

orn.  Freshman  Uzal  Ent  is  the  third

mission  he  was  given  the  Distinguished  Service  Medal, 
Bolivia's  Condor  of  the  Andes,  and  the  Peruvian  Mili- 
tary Order  of  Ayacucho  and  Aviation  Cross. 

When  World  War  II  began  Ent  was  tapped  for 
active  service  with  the  Ninth  Air  Force  units  operating 
from  North  Africa.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to  lead  an 
air  strike  against  Rome  while  it  was  still  under  Axis 
control.  As  commanding  general  (now  holding  the 
rank  of  brigadier)  of  the  Ninth  bombardment  groups, 
he  carried  out  the  Ploesti  assignment— regarded  as  one 
of  the  most  strategic  air  raids  of  the  war  because  the 
Ploesti  complex  of  refineries  produced  about  one-third 
of  Hitler's  fuel  supply,  and  because  this  was  the  first 
large-scale  attack  made  at  levels  low  enough  to  escape 
radar  detection. 

According  to  an  account  of  this  bombing  raid,  the 
operational  preparations  were  left  entirely  to  General 
Ent,  who  was  described  as  a  "small,  amiable  Pennsyl- 
vania Dutchman,  with  a  searching  mind  and  remark- 
ably varied  attainments.  (He)  ...  .  was  a  qualified 
specialist  in  chemical  warfare,  engineering,  meteor- 
ology, and  aerial  navigation  and  piloting." 

General  Ent  personally  led  the  first  flight  of  B-24 
bombers  against  Ploesti.  Although  the  losses  in  Ameri- 
can men  and  planes  were  high,  half  of  the  productive 
capacity  of  the  largest  oil  refinery  in  Europe  was 
destroyed  and  it  was  estimated  that  the  war  was 
shortened  by  at  least  three  or  four  months. 

The  preparations  for  this  raid,  the  engagement 
itself  and  the  heroism  of  the  men  involved  were  im- 
mortalized last  fall  in  an  exciting  book,  "Ploesti,"  sub- 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


titled  "The  Great  Ground-Air  Battle  of  August  1,  1943," 
published  by  Random  House  and  authored  by  James 
Dugan  and  Carroll  Stewart.  The  volume  includes  a 
few  errors  in  facts  concerning  Ent's  background  and 
career  at  Susquehanna,  but  it  is  a  vivid  and  highly 
readable   account. 

The  General  returned  to  the  U.  S.  shortly  after 
Ploesti  and  appeared  on  the  Susquehanna  campus  in 
September  to  address  the  personnel  of  the  35th  College 
Training  Detachment  (AAF  cadets),  the  rest  of  the 
student  body  and  the  faculty.  Susquehanna  Alumnus, 
issued  that  month,  said: 

"General  Ent  held  his  mixed  audience  enthralled 
from  beginning  to  end  in  a  talk  that  was  not  only  ser-

Ent — excerpted  from  a 
group  portrait — as  an

player  in  1917  with 
the  team  which  played

because  of  the  wartime 
manpower        shortage. 


ious  and  also  at  times  humorous,  but  always  inspiring 
with  the  spirit  of  American  determination,  singleness 
of  purpose,  and  practical  idealism.  .  .  .  Firsthand  hear- 
ing and  seeing  General  Ent  produce  renewed  pride 
and  confidence  in  the  greatness  of  American  military 
leadership." 

Ent  was  then  appointed  chief  of  staff  of  the  Second 
Air  Force  at  Colorado  Springs  and  later,  as  major  gen- 
eral, took  over  as  commanding  general.  This  unit  was 
training  B-29  pilots  and  crews  which  soon  were  to  be- 
come a  key  force  in  the  air  war  against  Japan.  Ent 
was  scheduled  to  direct  this  phase  of  the  war  and  was 
generally  regarded  as  the  man  most  likely  to  be  named 
commander-in-chief  of  the  Army  Air  Forces. 

A  much-decorated  military  figure,  he  wore  many 
medals  besides  those  already  mentioned,  including  the 


Distinquished  Service  Cross;  Air  Medal;  Oak  Leaf 
Cluster  for  DFC,  DSM  and  DSC;  Great  Britain's  Cov- 
entry Cross  and  Commander  of  the  Order  of  the  British 
Empire;  and  a  special  decoration  from  King  George  of 
Greece. 

General  Ent's  active  career  ended  abruptly,  how- 
ever, on  October  10,  1944  when  he  was  piloting  a  B-25 
bomber  on  take-off  from  Fort  Worth,  Texas.  Misin- 
terpreting Ent's  signal.  Ins  co-pilot  drew  up  the  landing 
gear  before  die  plane  was  airborne,  causing  it  to  nose- 
over  and  crash  on  the  runway.  One  of  the  propellers 
pierced  the  cabin,  struck  the  General  in  the  back, 
and  nearly  severed  his  spinal  cord.  A  paraplegic  for 
the  remainder  of  his  life,  he  was  hospitalized  at  Fort 
Worth  and  later  at  Halloran  Hospital,  Staten  Island, 
N.  Y. 

Despite  this  tragic  accident  and  its  results, 
General  Ent  did  not  give  up.  He  designed  a  more  ef- 
ficient set  of  braces  to  help  paraplegics  walk  with  the 
aid  of  crutches.  He  fought  a  long  but  finally  success- 
ful battle  to  have  these  braces  introduced.  He  also 
drew  up  plans  for  the  government  to  set  up  a  colony 
for  afflicted  and  disabled  war  veterans— and  he  studied 
law  for  a  future  career.  Officially  retired  from  the 
service  in  1946,  he  and  his  family  setded  in  Colorado 
Springs. 

On  March  5,  1948,  a  month  before  his  47th  birth- 
day, the  man  whom  Dugan  and  Stewart  called  "the 
little  leader"  died  at  Fitzimmons  General  Hospital  in 
Denver.  Following  a  request  he  had  made  before  his 
death,  his  cremated  remains  were  scattered  from  the 
air  over  the  hills  of  his  boyhood  haunts  in  Northum- 
berland. 

General  Ent  was  survived  by  his  wife,  the  former 
Eleanor  Martiwz  of  Pittsburgh,  and  their  son  Girard. 
Both  are  now  living  in  Pittsburgh,  where  Girard  is  an 
engineer.  A  nephew  and  namesake,  Uzal  W.  Ent  of 
Shiremanstown,  Pa.,  attended  Susquehanna  after  World 
War  II  and  currently  is  a  major  in  the  Pennsylvania 
National  Guard.  Both  he  and  his  father  (the  Gener- 
al's brother  Bill)  visited  the  Susquehanna  campus  for 
the  portrait  presentation  during  the  summer. 

Throughout  his  life,  General  Ent  was  truly  a 
"Keystone  of  Greatness,"  as  a  life-long  friend  headlined 
an  editorial  after  the  General's  death.  Harry  H.  Haddon, 
publisher  of  The  Sunbury  Daily  Item,  gave  a  capsule 
description  of  Uzal  Ent  when  he  said  that  "above  all 
else,  General  Ent  won  the  respect  and  admiration  of 
all  with  whom  he  came  in  contact,  in  and  out  of  mili- 
tary service.  He  proved  his  worth  as  a  soldier  in  an 
unprecedented  degree,  and  earned  the  enduring  appre- 
ciation of  five  countries."

Cars  On 
Campus 


It    seems    that    all    colleges 
share  this  common  problem. 


Nearly  two  million  automobiles  will  work  their 
way  through  college  this  year. 

A  survey  of  the  college  parking  problem  by  The 
Goodyear  Tire  &  Rubber  Company  indicates  that  44 
percent  of  die  nation's  4.5  million  undergraduates  were 
due  to  report  to  classes  on  wheels  this  year. 

Questionnaires  sent  by  Goodyear  to  colleges,  both 
large  and  small,  in  all  sections  of  the  nation,  revealed 
that  the  increase  since  pre-World  War  II  days  in  the 
number  of  student  autos  parked  on  campus  ranges  from 
300  to  1,000  percent. 

Understandably,  the  daytime  parking  problem— not 
to  be  confused  with  its  midnight  counterpart— poses  a 
problem  for  campus  police  chiefs  as  well  as  cleans. 

Parking  facilities  are  virtually  non-existent  at  many 
colleges  in  metropolitan  areas,  the  study  found.  For 
example,  the  10,000  daytime  students  and  14,000  night 
schoolers  at  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York  either 
ride  the  subway  or  race  parking  meters.  A  handful 
of  daring  faculty  members  commute  through  Manhat- 
tan on  motor  bikes. 

In  contrast,  the  University  of  Minnesota  will  park 
automobiles  1,900,000  times  in  the  course  of  the  school 
year.  Minnesota  has  a  "self-supporting"  parking  set- 
up where  everyone  on  campus  pays  to  park. 

Most  colleges  have  an  annual  fee,  ranging  up  to 
$10.  Rutgers,  which  claims  the  largest  parking  facility 
in  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.  (3,000),  operates  26  buses  to 
shuttle  students  from  parking  areas  to  four  school  areas. 

Higher  education  is  not  necessarily  conducive  to 
the  fight  against  traffic  violators.     Last  year  Rutgers 


passed  out  10,000  tags  to  students,  faculty  members 
and  others. 

Some  of  the  Ivy  League  schools,  notably  Yale  and 
Princeton,  do  not  allow  on-campus  parking.  Columbia 
does,  but  has  no  parking  facilities.  Both  faculty  and 
students  park  on  Manhattan  streets  on  a  "catch  as 
catch  can"  basis. 

Dartmouth  allows  parking,  making  it  easier  for 
seniors  and  married  students  by  slicing  the  registration 
fee  in  half  to  $5.00.  The  college  is  especially  tough 
on  student  auto  violations.  Last  year  it  suspended  a 
star  halfback  because  he  was  caught  owning  a  car 
while  attending  the  school  as  a  financial  aid  student. 
The  player  lost  all-East  recognition  while  the  football 
team  won  nine  straight. 

Dartmouth's  assistant  business  manager  Jack 
Skewes  makes  the  point  that  seat  belts  are  required  in 
all  cars  starting  this  fall.  The  University  of  Texas, 
like  manv  institutions,  bans  freshmen  from  parking  on 


S.  U.  registers  student  autos  for  $10  each. 
Freshmen  are  not  permitted  cars— a  restric- 
tion which  next  year  extends  to  sophomores 
also,  as  well  as  to  all  financial  aid  recipients. 
Exceptions  prevail  for  commuters  and  on 
special  occasions.  With  1050  students  and 
some  140  staffers,  S.U.  registered  more  than 
400  motor  vehicles  in  September  1963.

campus.  To  all  drivers,  the  university  hands  out  an 
attractive  four-color  map  of  the  campus— along  with  a 
copy  of  its  stringent  regulations. 

Time  was  when  a  visitor  to  the  campus  could  just 
follow  the  crowd  and  wind  up  in  the  right  place.  Not 
so  any  more,  relates  the  public  relations  director  at 
Boston  College.  One  night  last  winter  a  Pulitzer  Prize 
winner  was  on  one  B.C.  dais;  a  seminar  on  ethics  for 
local  businessmen  was  held  in  another  hall;  a  synopsis 
on  Civil  War  events  in  a  third;  the  evening  classes  were 
in  session,  and  a  basketball  game  was  in  progress.  A 
stranger  drove  on  the  campus  expecting  to  see  the  B.C.- 
Navy  basketball  game.  He  parked  his  car  and  follow- 
ed the  crowd,  but  wound  up  listening  to  James  Reston, 
N.  Y.  Times  Washington  correspondent,  speaking  on 
the  state  of  the  nation. 

Estimates  of  the  number  of  used  cars  on  campus 


varied  widely  from  45  to  90  percent  of  the  total  number. 
Surprisingly,  the  highest  percentage  of  used  cars  was 
found  at  Harvard,  generally  considered  the  richest 
university  in  the  country. 

College  police  chiefs,  deans,  and  others  concerned 
with  parking  problems  disagreed  widely  on  one  ques- 
tion posed  by  the  Goodyear  survey:  "Is  today's  student 
a  better  driver  than  his  father?" 

The  Northwestern  respondent  said,  "We  doubt  it." 
Dartmouth  replied,  "About  the  same  at  comparable 
age."  Columbia  answered,  "Unlikely."  "Yes,  but  less 
cautious,"  said  Maine.  Wisconsin  and  Harvard  gave 
an  unqualified  "Yes,"  while  Tennessee  wrote,  "?" 

Perhaps  the  most  succinct  observation  came  from 
Northwestern 's  manager  of  parking  and  traffic.  At  the 
bottom  of  his  questionnaire  he  wrote,  "Cars  are  still 
unnecessary  to  a  college  education."

MEMO 


by  JOHN  S.   HENDRICKS  '57 


from  the  Alumni  Office 


The    Case    of    the    Forgotten    Dollars 

'Way  back  in  1959  an  S.U.  student  asked  the 
Bursar's  office  to  hold  30  dollars  of  his  money  for  "safe- 
keeping." It  was  placed  in  an  envelope  and  locked  in 
the  safe.  The  student  subsequently  graduated  and  ap- 
parently never  thought  about  the  money  again  —  the 
money  had  by  then  slipped  to  the  back  of  the  safe- 
very  safe!  During  a  recent  house-cleaning,  the  envel- 
ope was  discovered  and  the  graduate  was  informed  of 
the  "safe"  manner  in  which  his  money  had  been  kept. 
Gratefully,  he  reciprocated  by  donating  the  forgotten 
$30  to  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  The  loyal  alum- 
nus: Harry  "Bucky"  Clark  Jr.  '59.  Anyone  else  have 
"forgotten  dollars"  which  could  chaw  good  interest  in 
the  Fund?

Oops!     We    Missed    One    .    .    .    and  Other    Club    Meetings 

In  the  last  alumnus  we  failed  to  report  one  of  the 
most  successful  club  meetings  held  this  year  —  North 
Jersey's  spring  dinner-dance  on  March  23  at  the  Bock 
Spring  Corral  Inn,  West  Orange.  Frank  Zeidler  '48, 
club  president,  was  in  charge.  Dr.  Norman  Ofslager, 
associate  professor  of  sociology,  was  the  speaker. 

Early  fall  club  get-togethers  included  that  of  North 
Jersey  at  the  Hotel  Suburban,  East  Orange,  on  Septem- 
ber 21,  where  a  goodly  crowd  wept  over  Susquehanna's 
12-34  football  defeat  at  the  hands  of  Upsala  College; 
and  that  of  Susquehanna  Valley  at  the  Governor  Snyder 
on  September  28.     At  this  one,  the  gang  was  able  to 


celebrate    an    S.  U.    victory,    12-7,    over    highly-touted 
Youngstown  University  of  Ohio. 

Scheduled  for  October  21  was  a  Pittsburgh  dinner 
meeting  at  the  Gaslite  Boom  of  Stouffer's  Oakland 
Restaurant,  with  George  Tamke,  assistant  to  the  presi- 
dent at  S.  U.,  as  speaker.  Also,  Philadelphia  will  have 
an  after-the-game  affair  on  November  16  at  the  Sunk- 
en Gardens.  That's  after  the  Crusader-Temple  game— 
which,  incidentally,  will  be  telecast  live  over  WFIL- 
TV,  Channel  6  for  those  who  find  it  absolutely  impos- 
sible to  get  to  Temple's  stadium  for  this,  Susquehanna's 
last  1963  grid  contest. 

A    Parting    Note 

Regretfully,  I  must  take  this  opportunity  to  in- 
form Susquehanna  alumni  of  my  resignation,  effective 
October  1,  1963  when  I  return  to  York,  Pa.  and  the 
employ  of  the  company  with  which  I  was  formerly  affil- 
iated. 

During  the  past  year  I  have  had  the  privilege  to 
take  part  in  the  most  energetic  and  progressive  expan- 
sion program  ever  engaged  in  by  our  Alma  Mater.  The 
people  involved  and  the  results  achieved  have  left  little 
to  be  desired.  This  year  has  enabled  me  to  associate 
with  some  of  the  finest  people  I  have  ever  met.  The 
members  of  the  faculty,  administration,  students,  and 
most  of  all,  the  Alumni  Association,  have  displayed  a 
dedication  and  enthusiasm  which  becomes  a  part  of 
anyone  in  contact  with  it.  To  all  of  you,  I  extend  my 
personal  thanks  for  the  cooperation  and  assistance  I 
have  received. 

Despite  my  brief  tenure  in  office,  I  can  point  with 
pride  to  mv  own  "conversion"  from  a  half-hearted 
helper  to  an  active,  interested  participant!  1  only 
wish  many  of  our  less  loyal  supporters  could  have  an 
opportunity  to  observe  the  needs  of  our  Alma  Mater 
as  I  have  during  the  past  year. 

My  own  interest  in  Susquehanna  will  continue.  I 
hope  to  serve  in  any  capacity  in  which  I  can  be  of  as- 
sistance in  the  future,  and  will  do  all  I  possibly  can 
during  the  next  few  months  to  make  the  changeover  a 
successful  one.  If  I  can  be  of  help  to  any  alumnus, 
please  contact  me  at  York-Shipley,  Inc.,  York,  Pa.

SUSQUEHANNA   ALUMNUS 


Loyalty  Fund  Nears  $40,000  Goal 


Susquehanna's  1963  Alumni  Loy- 
alty Fund  crept  onward  and  up- 
ward over  the  summer  months.  Not 
too  fast.  Not  too  slow,  although  a 
little  disappointing  now  and  then— 
with  a  spurt  of  improvement  re- 
sulting from  the  "Wanted  by  S.U." 
mailing. 

At  press  time— superseding  the 
box  score  totals  at  the  right— the 
Fund  had  reached  $35,900,  ex- 
ceeding last  year's  $35,103.  Num- 
ber of  contributors  totaled  1038,  no- 
where near  the  1138  who  contribut- 
ed in  1962. 


In  other  words,  there  are  many 
who  have  not  been  heard  from— 
who  have  forgotten,  who  have  lost 
interest,  or  who  perhaps  are  not 
able  to  do  as  much  as  they  did  last 
year  and  are  waiting,  hoping  to  do 
better. 

But,  there  is  a  $40,000  goal  to  be 
reached  and  the  ALF  committee, 
headed  by  Dr.  Ralph  C.  Geigle  '35, 
is  very  eager  to  reach  it  success- 
fully before  the  end  of  1963. 

If  you  have  not  yet  given,  why 
not  do  it  now!  After  all,  yours  is 
the  gift  that  really  counts,  whether 
large  or  small.

They're  Out 

To  Beat 

The  Crusaders 

by   RON   BERKHEIMER 


Ed.  Note:  This  article  was  prepared  for  printing 
just  prior  to  1963's  opener,  lost  to  Upsala  12-34. 
S.  U.  bounced  back,  however,  winning  the  next 
three  over  Youngstown,  12-7,  Ursinus,  32-0,  and 
Juniata,  1  4-6. 


Crusader    Coach    Jim    Garrett    with    Co- 
captains  Don  Gresn  and  Larry  Kerstetter. 


Having  established  themselves 
as  the  New  York  Yankees  of  small- 
college  football,  Susquehanna  Uni- 
versity's Crusaders  were  faced  with 
a  difficult  task  as  they  began  pre- 
parations for  the  1963  season. 

Everyone  likes  to  beat  the 
champs  and  there  are  teams  on  S. 
U.'s  schedule  who  want  to  whip 
the  Crusaders  every  bit  as  much 
as  the  down-trodden  teams  in  the 
American  League  want  to  trounce 
the  Yankees. 

Dick  Giessuebel,  the  burly 
tackle  and  team  captain  of  Upsala 


College,  Susquehanna's  opening 
game  opponent,  wrote  letters  to  his 
teammates  periodically  through- 
out the  summer  telling  them  that 
Upsala  could  get  national  recogni- 
tion by  breaking  S.U.'s  22-game  un- 
defeated streak.  Upsala  players 
even  tried  psychological  warfare  by 
writing  to  Susquehanna  players  and 
declaring:  "You're  not  so  tough. 
We're  going  to  beat  you  this  time." 
S.  U.  Head  Coach  Jim  Garrett 
described  the  long  streak  as  a  dou- 
ble-edged sword,  both  a  curse  and 
a  blessing.    On  one  hand,  it  placed 


Halfbacks    Vignone    and    Erdman. 


his  team  under  tremendous  pres- 
sure. Not  only  were  Crusader  op- 
ponents priming  themselves  to  play 
at  their  best  against  Susquehanna, 
but  some  of  Susquehanna's  fans 
were  adding  to  the  problem  by  con- 
fidently asserting  that  the  Crusad- 
ers would  be  unbeatable  in  1963. 

On  the  other  hand,  Coach  Gar- 
rett also  recognized  that  the  streak 
was  a  great  morale  booster  that 
"raised  team  spirit  sky  high  and 
probably  helped  us  to  win  several 
games    last    year." 

After  wrestling  with  the  prob- 
lem for  weeks,  Garrett  finally  re- 
marked: "Look,  the  only  thing  the 
players  and  coaching  staff  can  do 
is  to  give  their  best  at  all  times. 
There  is  no  use  worrying  about  it. 
If  we  win,  we  win,  and  if  we  lose, 
we  lose." 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the 
shadow  of  the  long  streak  seemed 
to  have  little  effect  on  some  of  the 
players.  One  of  the  starting  line- 
men declared:  "Nobody  will  stop 
us  this  year."  Don  Green,  senior 
quarterback  and  co-captain,  added: 
"We'll  be  even  stronger  than  we 
were  last  season." 

These  sanguine  predictions 
were  based  on  the  fact  that  most 


12 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


of  the  key  players  from  last  year's 
team  had  returned  for  another  year 
of  varsity  competition.  Among  the 
13  returning  lettermen  were  10  of 
last  season's  11  starters. 

The  lettermen  included  six 
linemen  i  center  John  Rowlands, 
guards  John  Garrett  and  Richie 
Caruso,  tackle  Ken  Minnig  and 
ends  Mike  Rupprecht  and  Jim  Gib- 
ney)  and  seven  backs  (quarter- 
backs Don  Green  and  Sam  Metz- 
ger,  halfbacks  Larry  Erdman,  Ter- 
ry Kissinger  and  John  Vignone,  and 
fullbacks  Larry  Kerstetter  and  Bill 
Galbraith). 

Thus,  only  one  starting  posi- 
tion had  to  be  filled  with  a  player 
who  did  not  win  a  letter  in  1962— 
the  second  tackle  slot,  which  is  cap- 
abb1  manned  by  Bill  Muir,  a  husky 
6-1,  228-pound  transfer  student 
from  Tulsa  University. 

With  Green,  Kerstetter  and 
Erdman  returning  to  the  backfield, 
Susquehanna  once  again  figured  to 
have  a  strong  running  attack.  This 
trio  gained  a  total  of  1,867  yards 
last  year,  with  Erdman  accounting 
for  757  and  a  new  one-season  S.U. 
rushing  record,  while  Kerstetter 
added  583  and  Green  527. 

In  practice  sessions  and  pre- 
season scrimmages.  Green  and 
Metzger  also  appeared  to  be  throw- 
ing better  than  in  previous  seasons, 
leading  the  coaching  staff  to  believe 
that  the  Crusaders  also  would  have 
an  improved  passing  attack  this 
year. 

\\ith  the  starting  team  and  sec- 
ond unit  dominated  by  returning 
veterans,  freshmen  are  not  likely  to 
see  much  action  with  the  varsity 
this  season.  An  exception  might 
be  Tom  Rutishauser  of  Scotch 
Plains,  N.  J.,  a  fleet,  165-pounder 
who  came  to  Susquehanna  as  a 
quarterback,  but  has  been  switch- 
ed to  halfback.  Coach  Garrett  has 
been  using  Rutishauser  on  defense. 

Bob  Estill,  a  transfer  from 
Valley  Forge  Military  Academy,  is 
another  promising  newcomer   and 


has  won  a  job  as  a  tackle  on  the 
second  unit. 

One  dark  cloud  in  the  other- 
wise bright  horizon  for  the  1963 
Crusaders  is  what  Coach  Garrett 
refers  to  as  a  "murderous  schedule." 
With    teams    like    Washington    & 


Lee,  Trinity,  and  Temple  still  to 
be  played,  Susquehanna  could  con- 
ceivably play  better  than  last  sea- 
son and  still  lose  several  games. 

As  Garrett  puts  it:  "One  way 
or  another,  it  looks  as  though  we're 
in  for  a  very  interesting  season." 


The   starting    line:   Gibney,    Muir,   Caruso, 
Rowlands,    Garrett,    Minnig,    Rupprecht

WHEN   SUSQUEHANNA   PLAYED   PRINCETON 

A  1936  football  ticket  fluttered  to  the  floor  this  summer  when  workmen 
tore  apart  an  old  storage  cabinet  while  renovating  the  Bursar's  office. 

Slightly  discolored  but  still  in  good  condition,  the  27-year-old  ticket 
was  for  general  admission  to  the  "Princeton  vs.  Susquehanna''  game  on 
November  7,  1936,  at  S.U.'s  University  Field. 

The  1936  records  indicate  that  Susquehanna  defeated  Princeton's  "B" 
team,  13-0.  The  victory  was  one  of  three  wins  in  eight  games  recorded  that 
year  under  the  coaching  of  Amos  Alonzo  Stagg  Jr. 

The  ticket  indicated  that  football  prices,  like  almost  everything  else, 
have  gone  up  since  1936.  General  admission  tickets  cost  75  cents  then  but 
are  $1.50  now. 

The  ticket  also  shows  that  in  1936  the  nation  was  still  in  the  grip  of  the 
depression.    The  price  included  three  cents  for  the  "Pa.  Relief  Tax."

The  Rev.  Raymond  L.  Lubold  13,  a  retired  pastor,  is  well-known  as  an 
active  Loyalty  Fund  worker  and  as  founder  with  his  wife  of  the  Fisher- 
Lubold  scholarships  at  his  alma  mater.  Few  people,  however,  may  know- 
that  he  is  an  avid  horticulturist  and  that  his  skill  in  growing  flowers  has 
helped  to  beautify  the  Susquehanna  campus. 

Last  year  his  offer  to  provide  and  care  for  flowers  to  decorate  the 
campus  was  gladly  accepted.  In  front  of  existing  shrubbery  he  planted 
yellow  marigold,  a  type  of  chrysanthemum,  and  purple  basil,  an  herb  of 
the  mint  family.  Visitors  can  see  these  colorful  plants  at  Landes  Gateway, 
around  the  Library,  at  the  new  northwest  gateway,  and  several  other  lo- 
cations. 

Growing  flowers  has  always  been  Pastor  Lubold's  hobby,  but  he  prob- 
ably has  more  time  to  devote  to  it  now,  since  he  retired  in  1961  after  45 
years  of  full-time  service  in  the  Christian  ministry.  He  continues  to  preach 
as  a  supply  pastor  for  Lutheran  churches  in  the  Selinsgrove  area. 

Pastor  Lubold  graduated  from  both  Susquehanna  and  its  Seminary. 
He  also  studied  at  Northwestern  University  and  Oberlin  College.  A  pastor 
in  Ohio  for  most  of  his  active  ministry,  he  was  in  Toledo  at  the  time  of  his 
retirement  and  was  serving  on  Ohio  Synods  Home  Mission  Board.  He  and 
his  wife,  the  former  Florence  L.  Fisher,  returned  to  Selinsgrove  two  years 
ago. 

At  Alumni  Day  last  spring  he  was  chaairman  of  the  1913  graduates 
observing  their  50th  anniversary,  and  he  will  be  chairman  of  the  Emeriti 
group  at  the  1964  Alumni  Day.

Dr.  Christie  E.  Zimmerman  '25, 
he  57,  Lutheran  missionary  to 
India  now  on  furlough  here,  has 
proven  The  Lanthorn  correct  in  its 
estimation  of  her  character. 

In  1925,  The  Lanthorn  said  that 
"new  students  find  in  her  a  kind, 
considerate  friend,  one  who  is  al- 
ways ready  to  assist  them  .  .  .  ." 
No  description  could  be  truer  than 
that  of  this  lively  spirit  who  has 
spent  most  of  the  past  32  years  as 
a  missionary  devoted  to  helping  others. 

Dr.  Zimmerman  is  in  charge  of  a  Bible  Training  School  for  women  in 
Guntur,  in  the  southeastern  section  of  India.  She  teaches  Indian  women  how 
to  conduct  Sunday  school  classes  and  women's  organizations  and  especially 
how  to  teach  the  Gospel  to  non-Christian  women. 

"The  non-Christian  women  are  very  eager  to  hear  the  Gospel  story," 
reports  Miss  Zimmerman,  "and  those  who  accept  Christianity  are  very 
zealous  in  their  religious  life.  Christians  have  begun  to  occupy  high  posi- 
tions in  India's  educational  system.  Although  India  still  does  not  have 
compulsory  education  for  everyone,  the  idea  of  education  has  gradually 
spread  down  to  the  common  people." 

She  adds  that  the  number  of  colleges  and  universities  has  multiplied 
tremendously  since  she  first  went  to  India.  At  the  same  time,  there  has 
been  an  amazing  increase  in  the  national  and  per  capita  incomes  and  in 
production. 

Deeply  fond  of  her  work  and  the  people  of  Guntur,  Dr.  Zimmerman 
will  return  to  them  at  the  end  of  her  furlough  in  February— perhaps  not 
without  mixed  emotions,  for  she  says  there  isn't  any  scenery  in  the  world 
to  compare  with  the  Susquehanna  Valley  and  Central  Pennsylvania. 

She  currently  is  staying  with  her  aunt,  Miss  Hattie  Zimmerman  '05,  a 
retired  teacher,  at  203  South  High  St.,  Selinsgrove.

Athletic  spirit  hasn't  changed  at  all 
since  the  early  1900's,  but  needs  do. 
Witness  this  picture  of  students  who  were 
agitating  for  the  construction  of  Susque- 
hanna's original  Alumni  Gymnasium,  fin- 
ally completed  in  1903.  A  statement  on 
one  of  their  posters,  "Must  Have  New 
Gym,"  was  echoed  recently  when  Jim 
Garrett,  S.U.'s  athletic  director,  address- 
ed the  Philadelphia  Alumni  Club  and 
urged  prompt  building  of  the  new  Field 
House.  "Every  student  enrolled  at  Sus- 
quehanna," he  said,  "deserves  [the]  op- 
portunity to  enjoy  physical  participation." 
The  new  Field  House  is  necessary,  he  said, 
to  provide  facilities  for  one  hundred 
percent  of  the  student  body.  On  the 
march  toward  providing  sufficient  funds, 
the  Field  House  building  fund  has  now 
passed  the  $100,000  mark  by  $392. 
Alumni  Loyalty  Fund  Gifts,  unless  other- 
wise designated,  are  currently  being 
applied  to  this  purpose.  The  1963  Fund, 
with  a  goal  of  $40,000,  reached  approx-

THE  3  BIG  FACTS 

about  the  1964  Loyalty  Fund 


Susquehanna's  1964  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund,  while  still  retaining 
its  identity  as  an  annual  program,  is  being  coordinated  with 
the  larger  funding  effort  of  $2.5  million  being  conducted  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  This  was  voted  by  the 
alumni  themselves  in  a  meeting  on  October  26,  1963. 

The  overall  $2.5  million  campaign,  a  five-year  project,  is  to 
raise  $750,000  for  a  Chapel-Auditorium,  $600,000  for  a  Gym- 
nasium and  Pool,  $450,000  for  a  Fine  Arts  building,  and  $700,- 
000  for  a  Student  Center.  The  new  Chapel-Auditorium,  along 
with  another  government-financed  men's  dormitory,  will  begin 
construction  this  spring.  The  other  buildings  will  proceed  as 
funds  become  available.  Under  this  plan,  all  these  badly- 
needed  facilities  will  be  completed  or  in  process  by  the  end  of 
the  five-year  period. 

The  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund  Committee,  under  the  chairmanship 
of  Erie  I.  Shobert  II  '35  of  St.  Marys,  Pa.,  has  accepted  as  its 
share  of  the  total  program  a  goal  of  $500,000-$100,000  per  year 
for  the  five  years— which  represents  20  percent  of  the  campaign 
goal.  This  is  a  large  effort,  one  to  challenge  the  vision  and 
commitment  of  every  alumnus,  but  one  which  the  committee 
is  confident  can  be  achieved  because  the  results  will  mean  so 
much  to  every  Susquehannan.  The  wheels  of  organization  are 
turning  now;  we'll  all  be  hearing  much  more  in  the  immediate 
weeks  ahead.

JANUARY    196-1 


December  10  was  a  big  night  for  little  Susque- 
hanna. The  Orange  and  Maroon  banner  hung  in  the 
place  of  honor  over  the  podium  in  the  Waldorf-As- 
toria's Grand  Ballroom.  Fifteen  hundred  men— includ- 
ing dozens  of  nationally-known  leaders  in  government, 
religion,  business  and  education— were  on  hand  for  the 
Awards  Dinner  of  the  National  Football  Foundation 
and  Hall  of  Fame. 

The  MacArthur  Bowl,  given  annually  to  "the  top 
college  football  team  in  the  country,  went  to  the  Uni- 
versity of  Texas  .  .  .  Ten  football  greats  of  the  past  were 
inducted  into  the  National  Football  Hall  of  Fame.  .  . 
Scholar-Athlete  trophies  were  presented  to  nine  college 
players  of  today.  .  .  . 

But  the  Gold  Medal  Award,  highest  individual 
honor  the  Foundation  bestows,  was  given  to  Susque- 
hanna's Boger  Blough  '25,  who  played  tackle  and  guard 
for  the  Crusaders  in  1921,  1922  and  1924.  The  medal 
is  awarded  each  year  to  an  outstanding  American  who 


has  participated  in  the  game  in  college— who  needn't 
necessarily  have  been  a  star,  but  whose  career  embod- 
ies the  highest  ideals  for  which  football  stands.  Previous 
winners  have  been  former  Presidents  Dwight  D.  Eisen- 
hower and  Herbert  Hoover,  the  late  President  John  F. 
Kennedy,  General  of  the  Army  Don  das  MacArthur.  and 
Supreme  Court  Justice  Byron  "Whizzer"  White.  A 
special  medal  also  was  given  on  his  9Sth  birthday  to 
Amos  Alonzo  Stagg  Sr.,  one-time  co-coach  at  S.  U. 

Blough— now  chairman  of  the  Board  of  U.  S. 
Steel  and  national  chairman  of  Susquehanna's  $2.5  mil- 
lion building  fund— delivered  the  main  address  of  the 
evening.  He  joked  about  the  Crusaders  record  of  6 
victories,  17  defeats  and  2  ties  during  his  three  varsity 
seasons,  noting  that  "a  statistician  with  a  great  capacity 
for  charity  has  calculated  that,  a  least,  we  won  75  per- 
cent of  the  games  we  didn't  lose." 

"In  the  first  of  those  years.  Army  beat  us  53-0.  In 
the  second  Colgate  took  us  87-6,  and  in  the  third  Cor- 
nell romped  over  us  91-0,"  he  added.    "Obviously  your

(selection)   committee  felt  that  anyone  with  a  record 
like  that  .  .  .  deserved  a  medal  for  sheer  survival." 

He  recognized  current  football  quality  at  Sus- 
quehanna, too,  however,  said  there  is  now  "plenty  of 
glory  to  go  around"  and  he  was  "very  content  to  bask 
in  die  shade  of  our  modern  team's  record." 

The  prominent  Susquehanna  alumnus  gave  elo- 
quent testimony  to  his  feelings  for  the  game,  the  les- 
sons of  teamwork  it  teaches,  and  the  foundation  it 
builds  for  life.  He  said  it  is  "more  than  a  game  we 
love  to  play  and  we  love  to  watch;  it  is  an  important 
American  experience." 

His  citation  read: 

"While  holding  firm  to  your  responsibilities,  you 
accepted  as  well  those  the  moment  decreed  to  promote 
greater  understanding  between  the  forces  of  business 
and  government  to  serve  the  nation's  common  interest. 
We  honor  this  spirit  of  teamwork  learned  on  our  play- 
ing fields.  You  led  your  fellows,  you  inspire  our  youth." 

JANUARY    1964 


Roger  Blough  '25,  clockwise, 
with  General  MacArthur,  the 
Foundation's  President  Chester 
LaRoche,  Francis  Cardinal  Spell- 
man,   and,   as   an   S.    U.    tackle. 


Alumni  have  been  hearing  for  the  past  four  years  about  Susquehanna's 
rapid  and  amazing  growth  in  physical  facilities  and  enrollment.  But,  as  some 
who  have  not  seen  for  themselves  have  asked,  what  has  happened  to  Susque- 
hanna academically?  What  changes,  if  any.  have  come  about  in  the  curricu- 
lum, the  course  offerings?  Has  the  factdty  been  increased  to  keep  pace  with  the 
increase  in  enrollment? 

Of  course,  from  time  to  time  new  faculty  appointments  have  been  an- 
nounced, but  the  average  alumnus  cannot  get  an  overall  picture  from  such  an- 
nouncements alone. 

To  give  our  readers  a  "perspective"  of  today's  academic  situation,  we  have 
talked  with  Dean  Wilhclm  Rcuning  (at  S.  U.  since  1959)  and  examined  current 
publications  and  up-to-date  material  prepared  for  the  February  23-26  visit  (reg- 
ular, ten-year  revaluation)  of  the  Middle  States  Association's  accrediting  com- 
mittee.    From   these  sources,   the  following   informal  summary   was   prepared. 


Focus  on  Academics 


When  Susquehanna  University  opened  for  the 
1963-64  academic  year,  there  were  88  persons  on  the 
faculty  and  1049  students  enrolled.  This  was  a  tre- 
mendous leap  for  a  college  which  had  40  faculty  and 
less  than  500  students  in  the  spring  of  1959.  Susque- 
hanna plans,  however,  to  retain  the  status  of  a  small 
college  and  expects  to  remain  at  its  present  level  of  en- 
rollment in  the  immediate  future. 

After  considering  part-time  factors,  Susquehanna 
has  an  excellent  faculty-student  ratio  of  approximately 
1:13.  The  faculty  includes  10  full-time  staff  officers 
whose  duties  include  teaching,  eight  part-time  instruct- 
ors, and  four  librarians  with  faculty  status.  Since  1959 
the  University  has  hired  11  new  administrative  staff 
members  and  19  replacements.  Over  the  same  five-year 


period  65  new  faculty  members  have  been  appointed— 
37  of  them  to  entirely  new  positions.  In  addition,  there 
has  been  an  average  of  six  part-time  lecturers  teaching 
each  year. 

The  level  of  academic  preparation  among  the  fac- 
ulty remains  high  as  the  University  follows  the  plan  of 
appointing  faculty  with  broad  training  in  their  fields 
and  depth  of  study  in  their  specialties.  Thirty-seven 
percent  have  earned  doctor's  degrees  and  several  others 
are  expecting  to  complete  their  requirements  this  year. 
The  faculty  represent  more  than  SO  different  colleges 
and  universities  from  25  states  and  four  foreign  coun- 
tries. 

In  keeping  with  its  purposes  and  objectives  Sus- 
quehanna intends  to  remain  basically  a  Liberal  Arts  col-

lege  offering  the  B.  A.  degree.  Other  programs  lead  to 
the  B.  S.  degree  in  Business  Administration  and  Music 
Education.  Degree  candidates  are  required  to  complete 
12S  semester  hours  of  course  work  and  four  hours  of 
physical  education.  The  freshman  and  sophomore  years 
are  devoted  primarily  to  general  cultural  courses  and 
the  junior  and  senior  years,  to  courses  concentrating  in 
a  student's  major  and  minor  fields. 

Susquehanna  offers  300  courses  in  28  areas  of  stud}' 
which  are  arranged  in  five  Academic  Divisions:  Lan- 
guage and  Literature,  Natural  Sciences  and  Mathemat- 
ics, Social  Studies,  Business  Administration,  Music. 

As  the  University  reviews  its  curricula  constantly, 
it  changes,  adds  or  eliminates  courses  to  meet  the  needs 


The  Music  Division,  now  a  full  member  of  the 
National  Association  of  Schools  of  Music,  is  looking  to- 
wards a  gradual  increase  to  an  enrollment  of  100  stu- 
dents. Approximately  80  students  are  majoring  in  the 
Division  this  year,  and  enrollment  may  reach  90  in  '64- 
'65.  More  cannot  be  cared  for  with  the  present  staff 
and  facilities. 

Susquehanna's  three  other  divisions  do  not  expect 
to  increase  enrollment  and  will  change  only  to  meet  the 
demands  of  the  student  body.  Students  majoring  or 
planning  to  major  in  these  divisions  this  year  numbered 
122  in  Language  and  Literature,  186  in  Natural  Sciences 
and  Mathematics,  and  207  in  Social  Studies. 

In  the  Liberal  Arts  areas  faculty  are  holding  dis-

of  students.  For  example,  all  Secretarial  and  Business 
Education  courses  are  being  phased  out  gradually  after 
having  been  offered  for  nearly  a  century.  Missionary 
Institute,  the  forerunner  of  Susquehanna  University, 
began  teaching  such  subjects  in  1873  when  it  absorbed 
the  Susquehanna  Female  College  and  became  a  pion- 
eer in  coeducation. 

While  discontinuing  Business  Education,  the  Uni- 
versity is  increasing  and  revising  its  curriculum  and 
expanding  the  staff  in  the  Business  Division.  This  part 
of  the  academic  program  has  attracted  250  students  or 
nearly  25  percent  of  the  enrollment.  The  Business 
Division  is  aiming  for  390  students  and  will  actually 
have  the  capacity  for  400  when  renovation  of  Steele 
Hall  is  completed  next  September. 


cussions  to  plan  for  the  immediate  future.  The  general 
education  program  for  the  B.  A.  degree  is  being  revised 
and  will  be  spread  out  over  a  three-year  period.  This 
will  permit  a  broader  and  more  flexible  education  than 
before  and  enable  a  student  to  concentrate  in  his  spe- 
cial field  of  interest  at  an  earlier  time. 

The  University  plans  to  establish  an  honors  pro- 
gram after  increasing  the  number  of  its  seminars.  This 
can  be  done  more  easily  now  than  before  since  en- 
rollment is  expected  to  stabilize  around  the  present 
level. 

A  good  honors  program,  however,  depends  on  an 
adequate  library  because  enriched  reading  and  individ- 
ual research  are  essential.  For  this  reason  as  well  as  to 
meet  standards  set  by  the  American   Library  Associa-

This  graph  indicates  the  phenome- 
nal enrollment  increases  over  the 
past  several  years  and  parallels  the 
results  of  national  and  internation- 
al     crises      during      this      century. 


Hon,  a  continuing  effort  is  being  made  to  improve  and 
increase  the  book  collection.  The  Library  currently  lists 
some  54,000  volumes  (exclusive  of  periodicals),  but 
according  to  the  ALA  there  should  be  about  70,000 
books  for  1000  students.  The  institution  is  working  as 
rapidly  as  possible  to  remedy  this  situation  and,  in  fact, 
doubled  its  acquisition  of  books  last  year  to  nearly 
4000  volumes. 

Susquehanna's  academic  growth  can  be  seen  best 
by  looking  at  the  course  offerings  by  general  fields. 
Figures  following  the  name  of  each  field  indicate  the 
number  of  faculty  (approximate  full-time  equivalents 
after  taking  into  account  part-time  instructors  and  those 
splitting  their  responsibilities  between  departments)  and 
the  number  of  student  majors,  where  a  major  is  offered. 

Art  (1-no  major)— Although  Art  is  not  a  depart- 
ment officially,  the  University  has  increased  the  course 
offerings  slightly  and  will  continue  to  do  so  as  part  of 
its  general  revision  program. 

Biology  (4-62)— This  program  has  been  raised  to 
the  level  of  modem  standards  and  needs,  affecting  not 
only  the  Biology  major  but  also  the  pre-medicine  major. 
General  Biology  has  replaced  two  courses  in  Botany 
and  Zoology  which  were  moved  to  the  sophomore 
level. 

Business  Administration  (6-254)— Bevised  in  the  di- 
rection of  greater  Liberal  Arts  content  and  for  more 
flexibility.  All  of  the  majors  in  the  Business  Division 
have  been  strengthened.  Some  seminar  work  has  been 
begun  in  Marketing  and  Management  and  will  be  ex- 
panded as  time  goes  on.  The  Accounting  Internship 
has  been  developed  into  a  six-week  program  with  seven 
accounting  firms  participating,  and  a  new  Banking  and 
Finance  Internship  has  just  been  established. 

Chemistry  (  2!>  -  24  )— Currently  engaged  in  revis- 
ing its  curriculum  in  accord  with  the  standards  of  the 


American  Chemical  Society.  Bevision  has  been  done 
on  paper  but  will  probably  take  several  years  to 
achieve.     New  Science  Building  is  bound  to  help. 

Classics  (2)2-3)— Course  content  broadened  slightly. 
One  notable  development  is  the  offering  of  Greek  and 
Latin  literature  in  translation,  designed  for  the  general 
Liberal  Arts  major— not  as  a  part  of  the  major  but  to 
help  acquaint  the  student  with  Classical  literature. 

Economics  (2^- 26)— Major  has  been  strengthened 
in  course  offerings.  The  University  recognizes  the  im- 
portance of  Economics  and  is  urging  all  students  to  be- 
come acquainted  with  it  during  their  four  undergradu- 
ate years.  Next  year  the  department  expects  to  offer 
seminar  work. 

Education  (3  faculty,  departmental  majors)— Pro- 
gram has  been  strengthened  along  lines  required  by 
the  Department  of  Public  Instruction  in  Harrisburg. 
Additions  in  curriculum  include  a  year  course  in  de- 
velopment reading  and  a  semester  course  in  visual  aids. 
Next  year  Susquehanna  will  offer  students  a  teaching 
program  for  eight  consecutive  weeks.  During  the  first 
eight  weeks  of  the  year  students  will  take  courses  in 
their  professional  fields  before  beginning  student  teach- 
ing on  a  full-time  basis. 

English  (11  -  88 )  —The  University  has  eliminated 
two-credit  courses  and  is  planning  seminar  courses.  In 
1962-63  Susquehanna  began  to  strengthen  its  offerings 
in  more  recent  fields  of  literature  and  will  continue  to 
do  so.  One  notable  development  has  been  the  recogni- 
tion of  able  students  in  English  composition  by  allow- 
ing them  to  omit  the  regular  freshman  course  (History 
will  do  the  same  with  its  majors  next  year).  The  Eng- 
lish Department  is  concerned  not  only  with  teaching 
Modern  Literature  but  also  Linguistics  i  English  gram- 
mar and  usage ) . 

Geology  and  Geography  (  1  -no  major)— Has  been 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


added  as  a  minor.  Will  be  developed  into  a  major  if 
student  interest  increases. 

History  and  Political  Science  (6/2-86)  —  More 
courses  added  and  old  ones  overhauled  to  give  a  pro- 
gram of  greater  variety  and  intensity  of  study.  Main 
emphasis  has  been  in  presenting  work  in  contempor- 
ary development.  Courses  in  non-Western  History 
added.  Political  Science  has  been  changed  to  a  major. 
Courses  include  Government  and  Political  Theory,  In- 
ternational Relations  and  Comparative  Government. 
The  Department  plans  to  add  in  1965  an  instructor  in 
Public  Administration. 

Mathematics  (3-67)— Modernizing  to  keep  up  with 
current  needs  of  the  space  age.  This  development  be- 
gan about  three  years  ago. 

Modem  Languages  (6/2-27)— Courses  in  elementary 
and  intermediate  Russian  have  been  added— more  to 
come  as  needs  appear.  German,  French  and  Spanish 
continue  in  popularity  as  the  required  language  choice 
of  many.  Recognizing  the  need  for  oral-lingual  work, 
the  Department  expects  to  install  a  language  laboratory 
next  fall  but  will  keep  a  balance  between  learning  by 
speaking  and  learning  by  waiting,  and  reading. 

Music  (10-81)— Has  completely  revised  its  cur- 
riculum. The  Division  not  only  meets  state  require- 
ments but  is  a  full  member  of  the  National  Association 
of  Schools  of  Music. 

Physics  (2-12)— Until  now,  lack  of  space  and 
equipment  have  prevented  development,  but  the  new 
Science  Building  will  enable  Susquehanna  to  strength- 
en this  Department.  The  3-2  engineering  program  in 
cooperation  with  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  con- 
tinues. 

Psychology  (3'A  -  77)— One  of  the  University's  most 
active  departments,  Psychology  is  eagerly  looking  for- 
ward to  its  new  laboratories  to  be  provided  next  fall 
in  Steele  Hall.  It  is  expected  that  greater  emphasis 
will  be  placed  upon  experimental  and  physiological 
psychology. 

Religion  and  Philosophy  (4-4)— The  purposes  of 
Susquehanna  demand  a  broad  preparation— including 
basic  studies  in  Religion.  Courses  in  Religion,  there- 
fore, are  still  required  of  every  undergraduate.  Phil- 
osophy has  recently  been  added  as  a  major  field. 

Sociology  and  Anthropology  (3  -  30)— Anthropol- 
ogy has  been  developed  to  the  point  where  the  Uni- 
versity now  employs  a  full-time  anthropologist.  The 
Sociology  program  has  been  completely  revised  and 
will  include  seminar  work  and  independent  research. 

There  are  31  students  working  for  B.  A.  degrees 
with  double  majors:  15  in  Biology-Chemistry,  6  in 
Physics-Mathematics,  10  in  Psychology-Sociology.  In 
addition,  there  are  17  working  for  mixed  majors  in 
other  fields.    175  students  have  not  chosen  their  majors.

JANUARY    1964 


by   RON   BERKHEIMER 


Has  the  "Golden  Era"  of  Susquehanna  Univer- 
sity football  passed?  There  are  skeptics  who  think  it 
has  and  their  reasoning  cant  be  dismissed  lightly.  They 
point  out  that  graduation  ceremonies  this  spring  will 
take  away  seven  great  players,  five  of  whom  have  been 
starters  for  the  past  four  seasons,  helping  S.  U.  to  com- 
pile a  magnificent  record  during  that  span  of  32  victor- 
ies, 2  defeats  and  1  tie. 

The  seven  arc  halfbacks  Terry  Kissinger  and 
Roland  Marionni,  quarterback  Don  Green,  fullback 
Larry  Kerstetter,  end  Mike  Rupprccht,  guard  John 
Garrett  and  center  John  Rowlands. 

Kerstetter,  Green  and  Kissinger  completed  their 
careers  as  the  first,  second  and  fifth  leading  ground  gain- 
ers, respectively,  in  the  university's  history.  Kerstetter 
finished  with  2101  yards.  Green  with  1681  and  Kissinger 
with  1201. 

Players  like  these  will  not  be  easy  to  replace,  say 
the  skeptics,  and  no  one  is  going  to  argue  with  them 
on  this  point.  Nevertheless,  Head  Coach  Jim  Garrett 
is  anything  but  pessimistic  as  he  makes  plans  for  spring 
practice.  "I  have  an  idea  that  some  of  the  boys  who 
have  played  behind  our  fine  seniors  for  the  past  several 
seasons  will  do  a  real  job  for  us  next  fall,"  he  declared. 

Despite  the  heavy  losses  through  graduation, 
the  Crusaders  still  will  have  19  returning  lettermen,  in- 
cluding no  less  than  six  tackles.  A  backfield  of  Sam 
Metzger,  quarterback,  Larry  Erdman  and  John  Vig- 
none,  halfbacks,  and  Rill  Galbraith,  fullback,  will  give 
Susquehanna  opponents  a  lot  of  trouble. 

«  o  « 

In  some  respects  S.  U.'s  S-l  football  record  of 
1963  was  more  satisfying  than  its  9-0  mark  in  1962. 
The  '63  season  eertainlv  was  more  dramatic.    The  Cru- 


Honored  by  the  Crusader  Quarterback  Club  at  the 
annual  football  banquet  were  Coach  Jim  Garrett  and 
eight  seniors,  seated:  Roland  Marionni,  Union  City, 
N.  J.;  Terry  Kissinger,  Se!iasgrove;  Don  G:een,  Har- 
risburg;  Larry  Kersteirer,  Pott  Trevotton,  Fa.  Stand- 
ing: Coach  Jim  Garrett;  Mike  Ruppreckt,  York,  Pa.; 
John  Garrett,  Robesonia,  Fa.;  John  Rowlands,  Wilkes- 
Barre,       Pa.;       Jay      Snyder,       Se!insgrove,       manager. 


saders  opened  with  a  blaze  of  fanfare  and  the  longest 
undefeated  streak  (22  games)  of  any  college  football 
team  in  the  nation,  but  in  the  first  game  they  were  un- 
ceremoniously trounced  by  Upsala,  34-12,  and  hopes 
for  another  great  year  seemed  to  have  gone  up  in 
smoke. 

"I  can't  help  remembering  our  utter  dejection 
after  that  Upsala  game,"  Garrett  remarked  later.  "I 
asked  the  members  of  the  coaching  staff  the  next  day 
how  many  games  they  thought  we'd  win.  All  of  us 
thought  we  were  in  for  a  rough  season  except  for  Rob 
Pittello  i  guard  coach  and  an  S.  I7,  alumnus).  He  had 
more  faith  in  the  boys  and  was  sure  we  would  bounce 
back." 


SUSQUEHANNA    ALUMNUS 


Pittello's  faith  was  justified.  The  next  week 
Susquehanna  came  from  behind  in  the  final  minute  of 
play  to  beat  a  strong  Youngstown  team  12-7  and  start 
a  new  winning  streak.  Then  came  victories  of  32-0'  over 
Ursinus,  14-6  over  Juniata,  31-0  over  previously  unde- 
feated Washington  &  Lee,  41-0  over  Trinity,  68-0  over 
Alfred,  42-6  over  Union  and,  finally,  a  thrilling  22-18 
triumph  over  Temple. 

The  Temple  victory  gave  the  season  a  story- 
book ending.  In  the  week  before  the  game,  a  number 
of  articles  appeared  in  Philadelphia  newspapers  quoting 
remarks  by  Temple  players  calling  Susquehanna  a 
"dirty"  team. 

One  of  the  stories  was  headlined:  "Well  be 
Ready  for  Rowdy  Susquehanna."  Another  referred  to 
Susquehanna  players  as  "ghouls"  and  "a  bunch  of 
frustrated,  hungry  animals  who  know  they  can't  beat 
Temple  and  will  come  down  here  and  try  to  hurt 
someone." 

After  the  game  Coach  Garrett  conferred  with 
members  of  the  Susquehanna  administration  and  an- 
nounced that  S.  U.  would  not  schedule  any  further  ath- 
letic events  with  Temple  after  present  contracts  had 
been  fulfilled.  In  retaliation.  Temple  suggested  can- 
cellation of  the  two  remaining  events— a  basketball  and 
a  baseball  game— and  Susquehanna  agreed. 

The  football  game  itself  was  tremendously  ex- 
citing and  a  spectator's  delight.  The  lead  changed 
hands  several  times  before  Erdman  scored  the  winning 
touchdown  on  a  77-yard  run  in  the  fourth  period.  Tem- 
ple continued  to  threaten,  but  Vignone  saved  the  lead 
with  two  interceptions,  one  on  the  S.  U.  five-yard  line 
in  the  final  play  of  the  game. 

Vignone,  incidentally,  was  the  leading  rusher 
for  the  season  with  515  yards,  while  Green  was  second 
with  486  and  Kerstetter  third  with  483. 

o  o  o 

Susquehanna  was  well  represented  on  the  Asso- 
ciated Press  All-Pennsylvania  squad,  with  Green  being 
named  to  the  first  team,  Vignone  and  end  Jim  Gibney 
to  the  second  team  and  Kerstetter  and  Rupprecht  to  the 
honorable  mention  list.  A  significant  aspect  of  the  All- 
Pennsylvania  squad  is  that  it  is  chosen  from  all  colleges 
and  universities  in  the  state,  including  such  major- 
college  powerhouses  as  Penn  State,  Pitt  and  Villanova. 
Green  also  was  named  to  the  Little  All-America  squad 
and  was  invited  to  play  in  the  second  annual  "Challenge 
Rowl"  in  Corpus  Christi,  Tex.— where  he  helped  the 
National  All-Stars  wallop  the  Southwest  All-Stars,  66-14.

Under  the  guidance  of  new  coaches,  Susque- 
hanna's soccer  and  cross  country  teams  turned  in  im- 


proved records  during  the  1963  season.  James  J.  Eng- 
lish, S.  U.  registrar,  took  over  as  soccer  coach  and  led 
the  hooters  to  a  5-5-1  record,  which  represented  quite 
a  jump  in  comparison  with  the  1962  mark  of  1-9.  Dr. 
Tarn  Poison,  dean  of  students,  helped  to  give  the  cross 
country  team  a  similar  boost,  directing  the  harriers  to 
a  5-6  log  in  comparison  with  their  2-7  record  the  prev- 
ious fall.  A  freshman-dominated  women's  field  hockey 
team,  coached  by  Miss  Beverly  Reed,  finished  with  a 
2-2-1  record. 


A  rugged  schedule  and  the  graduation  last  spring 
of  three  of  S.  U.'s  finest  basketball  players  are  obstacles 
the  1963-64  cagers  have  found  difficult  to  overcome.  As 
we  were  writing  these  lines,  the  Crusader  hoopsters  had 
won  2  games  and  lost  7. 

Biggest  problem  in  the  early  games  was  a  lack 
of  rebounding— which  Susquehanna  never  had  to  worry 
about  before  the  graduation  of  Bill  Moore,  Jim  Galla- 
gher and  Clark  Mosier  (who,  incidentally,  is  going 
great  this  season  with  the  Wilkes-Barre  Barons). 

Even  with  them,  however,  S.  U.  would  probably 
have  trouble  this  year  matching  last  year's  20-4  record. 
No  less  than  five  of  the  current  opponents— Rider,  Mt. 
St.  Mary's,  Philadelphia  Textile,  Wittenberg  and  Hof- 
stra— won  berths  in  either  the  NCAA  or  NAIA  small  col- 
lege tournaments  last  season  and  Wittenberg  was  se- 
lected by  both  the  AP  and  the  UPI  as  the  Number  1 
small-college  team  in  the  nation.  The  Tigers  handed 
Susquehanna  two  of  its  defeats  this  season,  by  scores 
of  68-47  and  87-46.  Rider  outscored  the  Crusaders 
108-91,  and  Mt.  St.  Marys  was  responsible  for  a  79-62 
defeat. 

o  o  o 

Susquehanna  did  come  up  with  one  impressive 
upset  victory,  beating  Philadelphia  Textile  91-77  as  Otto 
"Butch"  Uguccioni,  promising  sophomore  from  Hawley, 
Pa.,  scored  27  points. 

Joe  Billig,  senior  team  captain  from  Milton,  Pa., 
and  Tom  McCarrick,  6-8  senior  center  from  Elmira,  N. 
Y.,  were  the  Crusaders'  early-season  statistical  leaders. 
Billig  paced  the  team  in  scoring  with  an  average  of  13 
points  per  game  while  McCarrick  was  the  top  rebound- 
er  with  about  10  caroms  a  game. 

Other  players  who  saw  a  lot  of  action  were 
guards  Billy  O'Brien,  sophomore  from  Locust  Gap,  Pa. 
and  Bob  Hancock,  junior  from  Johnstown,  Pa.;  and 
Clark  Schenck,  senior  forward  from  Robesonia,  Pa. 

Despite  the  team's  poor  start,  Coach  John  Ban- 
insisted  that  the  Crusaders  have  "good  potential"  and 
might  play  some  exciting  basketball  before  the  close  of 
the  season.

Loyalty  Fund  Over  the  Top  for  Fourth  Year 


For  the  fourth  straight  year  Susquehanna's  Alumni 
Loyalty  Fund  was  oversubscribed  with  a  grand  total  of 
Si  1,046  in  cash  and  pledges  toward  1963's  $40,000  goal. 
A  little  more  than  $2000  is  currently  outstanding  in 
pledges. 

The  total  represents  gifts  from  1090  persons  and

Susquehanna  graduates  are  enthusiastic  about  their  aima  mater,  judging  from  the  re- 
actions of  those  who  served  on  the  Alumni  Evaluation  Team  in  October.  Their  com- 
ments, recorded  on  a  questionnaire  and  complementing  staff  studies  made  in  preparation 
for  the  10-year  reevaluation  by  the  Middle  States  Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary 
Schools,  reveal  that  all  members  of  the  group  were  pleased  with  S.  U.'s  new  buildings 
and  plans  for  additional  expansion.  They  agreed  that  to  provide  for  the  current  high 
enrollment  the  University  needs  to  enlarge  its  library  and  physical  education  facilities 
(especially,  build  a  swimming  pool).  Also,  it  must  as  quickly  as  possible  add  a  chapel- 
auditorium  and  a  student  center.  They  not  only  applauded  the  current  curricula  and 
quality  of  instruction,  but  also  made  some  constructive  suggestions  for  the  future.  Most 
of  the  evaluators  felt  that  Susquehanna  is  not  ready  at  this  time  to  offer  a  program 
leading  to  the  master's  degree.  These  alumni  and  some  of  their  spouses  were  photo-

Keep   In  Tune  With  S.  U. 

Now  alumni  within  an  area  some  200  miles  in  diameter  en- 
compassing Central  and  Eastern  Pennsylvania  can  hear  about 
S.U.  by  radio  in  addition  to  newspapers  and  magazines.  Station 
WKOK-AM-FM  in  Sunbury,  Pa.  has  increased  its  power  to 
10,000  watts  and  broadcasts  at  this  wattage  between  7:30  a.m. 
and  5  p.m.  at  1070  kilocycles.  During  nighttime  hours,  the  sta- 
tion returns  to  1,000  watts. 

A  15-minute  weekly  news  program,  "Susquehanna  On  the 
Air,"  is  prepared  by  the  S.U.  Public  Relations  Department  and 
is  broadcast  at  7:45  a.m.  Saturdays.  Half  of  the  show  is  devoted 
to  University  news  and  the  other  half  to  interviews  with  faculty, 
administration  or  with  guests  on  campus  for  lectures  or  concerts. 

The  increase  in  broadcasting  power  means  that  WKOK  can 
be  heard  over  a  much  wider  area  than  before.  These  towns  in- 
dicate the  approximate  outside  rim  of  the  area:  To  the  South  — 
Chester  and  Gettysburg,  Pa.  and  Hagerstown,  Md.;  to  the  North 
—  Coudersport,  Westfield,  Wellsboro,  Canton,  Towanda  and 
Montrose;  to  the  West  —  Bedford,  Altoona  and  Bellefonte;  to  the 
East  —  Milford  and  Allentown-Bethlehem.

Now  on  permanent  display  in  the  exhibit  area  on  the  lower  floor  of  the  University 
Library  is  this  flag  from  post-Civil  War  days.  For  more  than  20  years  the  banner  was 
used  at  meetings  and  during  Memorial  Day  parades  by  Capt.  C.  S.  Davis  Post  148  of  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic.  The  local  GAR  Post,  officially  organized  on  January  22, 
1880,  included  the  survivors  of  Company  G,  147th  PennsyKar.ia  Volunteer  Infantry,  as 
well  as  other  veterans  of  the  War  Between  the  States.  Company  G  left  for  the  war  on 
September  13,  1862  under  the  command  of  Captain  Charles  Selin  Davis  of  Selinsgrove. 
The  soldiers  fought  at  Gettysburg,  in  the  Western  battles  and  at  Atlanta,  and  accom- 
panied General  Sherman  on  his  march  to  the  sea.  Captain  Davis  was  mortally  wounded 
at  Ringgold,  Ga.  and  was  taken  to  Chattanooga,  Tenn.,  18  miles  away,  where  he  died. 
Whi!e  a  resident  of  Selinsgrove,  Capt.  Davis  had  lived  in  what  is  now  the  Hotel  Selin, 
North  Market  Street.  Following  the  war,  the  veterans  held  informal  meetings  on  the 
second  floor  of  a  small  house  on  Chestnut  Street,  now  the  home  of  Mrs.  Arthur  H. 
Wilson,  widow  of  a  former  Susquehanna  professor,  and  directly  behind  Professor  Jane 
Barlow's  home  on  High  Street.  In  1880  the  veterans  formed  an  official  GAR  chapter 
and  moved  to  a  room  on  the  third  floor  of  a  building  across  f;om  the  Governor  Snyder 
Hotel.  They  met  here  until  disbanding  on  March  2,  1901.  Their  former  meeting  place 
on  Chestnut  Street  became  the  insurance  office  of  the  late  Richard  L.  Schroyer  who 
graduated  from  Missionary  Institute  in  1 888  with  John  Woodruff  and  George  Fisher. 
Mr.  jchroyer  was  a  member  of  Susquehanna's  Board  of  Trustees  for  42  years  and  sec- 
retary of  the  Board's  Executive  committee.  He  presented  the  flag  to  the  University  for 
its  historical  collection.  The  Library's  exhibit  area  was  recently  equipped  with  glassed- 
in    display   eases  which    can   be    locked   to    protect   valuable    memorabilia.

At  this  writing,  only  the  earliest  of  reports  have  been  received  from  area 
captains  for  the  1964  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  They  inchoate  an  enthusiastic- 
response  wherever  the  story  has  been  told.  About  a  fifth  of  the  goal  has  already 
been  pledged.  If  the  trends  prevail,  Susquehanna  alumni  will  be  successful  in 
raising  $100,000  per  year  over  the  next  five  years  towards  the  University's  $2.5 
million  capital  gifts  campaign. 

But  it's  not  in  the  bag!  There  is  lots  of  work  still  to  be  done.  In  a  sincere 
attempt  to  have  every  possible  alumnus  and  alumna  personally  solicited,  we 
have  organized  workers  in  almost  every  area  where  there  is  a  district  alumni 
club.  A  few  of  these  areas  have  not  yet  launched  their  Fund  efforts  and  solici- 
tation, but  are  expected  to  do  so  very  shortly.  ^Yhere  personal  visitation  is  im- 
practical, we  have  to  depend  upon  mailings. 

Your  Alma  Mater  deserves  a  response  from  each  and  every  member  of  its 
alumni  body;  it  deserves  the  largest  response  you  can  possibly  make.  Whether 
you're  one  of  the  workers  making  calls,  one  of  those  being  called  upon,  or  one 
of  those  who  live  in  areas  where  we  arc  not  able  to  personalize  the  calls,  let's 
pull  together  and  get  the  job  done! 

As  Dr.  Weber  put  it,  this  is  indeed  our  "Moment  of  Truth."

Benjamin  Apple  Theatre  in  Bogar  Hall 
was  the  site  for  S.  U.'s  15th  annual 
Shakespearean  Festival  which  completed 
a  month-long  observance  of  the  Bard's 
400th  birthday.  Twelve  performances 
of  "Midsummer  Night's  Dream"  were 
presented  by  the  University  Players.  Di- 
rector was  Dr.  Bruce  L.  Nary,  associate 
professor  of  English.

The 
Money 


Behind 
Our  Colleges 


Abe  America's  colleges  and  universities  in  good  financial  health — 
XX  or  bad? 

Are  they  pricing  themselves  out  of  many  students'  reach?  Or  can — and 
should — students  and  their  parents  carry  a  greater  share  of  the  cost  of 
higher  education? 

Can  state  and  local  governments  appropriate  more  money  for  higher 
education?  Or  is  there  a  danger  that  taxpayers  may  "revolt"? 

Does  the  federal  government — now  the  third-largest  provider  of  funds 
to  higher  education — pose  a  threat  to  the  freedom  of  our  colleges  and 
universities?  Or  is  the  "threat"  groundless,  and  should  higher  education 
seek  even  greater  federal  support? 

Can  private  donors — business  corporations,  religious  denominations, 
foundations,  alumni,  and  alumnae — increase  their  gifts  to  colleges 
and  universities  as  greatly  as  some  authorities  say  is  necessary?  Or  has 
private  philanthropy  gone  about  as  far  as  it  can  go? 

There  is  no  set  of  "right"  answers  to  such  questions.  College  and 
university  financing  is  complicated,  confusing,  and  often  controversial, 
and  even  the  administrators  of  the  nation's  institutions  of  higher  learning 
are  not  of  one  mind  as  to  what  the  best  answers  are. 

One  thing  is  certain:  financing  higher  education  is  not  a  subject  for 
"insiders,"  alone.  Everybody  has  a  stake  in  it. 


Where  U.S.  colleges 
and  universities 
get  their  income 


These  days,  most  of  America's  colleges  and  universities  manage 
to  make  ends  meet.  Some  do  not:  occasionally,  a  college  shuts 
its  doors,  or  changes  its  character,  because  in  the  jungle  of  educational 
financing  it  has  lost  the  fiscal  fitness  to  survive.  Certain  others,  qualified 
observers  suspect,  hang  onto  life  precariously,  sometimes  sacrificing 
educational  quality  to  conserve  their  meager  resources.  But  most  U.S. 
colleges  and  universities  survive,  and  many  do  so  with  some  distinction. 
On  the  surface,  at  least,  they  appear  to  be  enjoying  their  best  financial 
health  in  history. 

The  voice  of  the  bulldozer  is  heard  in  our  land,  as  new  buildings  go 
up  at  a  record  rate.  Faculty  salaries  in  most  institutions — at  critically 
low  levels  not  long  ago — are,  if  still  a  long  distance  from  the  high-tax 
brackets,  substantially  better  than  they  used  to  be.  Appropriations  of 
state  funds  for  higher  education  are  at  an  all-time  high.  The  federal 
government  is  pouring  money  into  the  campuses  at  an  unprecedented 
rate.  Private  gifts  and  grants  were  never  more  numerous.  More  students 
than  ever  before,  paying  higher  fees  than  ever  before,  crowd  the  class- 
rooms. 

How  real  is  this  apparent  prosperity?  Are  there  danger  signals?  One 
purpose  of  this  report  is  to  help  readers  find  out. 

How  do  colleges  and  universities  get  the  money  they  run  on? 
By  employing  a  variety  of  financing  processes  and  philosophies. 
By  conducting,  says  one  participant,  the  world's  busiest  patchwork 
quilting-bee. 

U.S.  higher  education's  balance  sheets — the  latest  of  which  shows  the 
country's  colleges  and  universities  receiving  more  than  $7.3  billion  in 
current-fund  income — have  been  known  to  baffle  even  those  men  and 
women  who  are  at  home  in  the  depths  of  a  corporate  financial  state- 
ment. Perusing  them,  one  learns  that  even  the  basic  terms  have  lost  their 
old,  familiar  meanings. 

"Private"  institutions  of  higher  education,  for  example,  receive  enor- 
mous sums  of  "public"  money — including  more  federal  research  funds 
than  go  to  all  so-called  "public"  colleges  and  universities. 

And  "public"  institutions  of  higher  education  own  some  of  the 
largest  "private"  endowments.  (The  endowment  of  the  University  of 
Texas,  for  instance,  has  a  higher  book  value  than  Yale's.) 

When  the  English  language  fails  him  so  completely,  can  higher  edu- 
cation's balance-sheet  reader  be  blamed  for  his  bafflement? 


In  A  recent  year,  U.S.  colleges  and  universities  got  their  current-fund 
income  in  this  fashion : 
20.7%  came  from  student  tuition  and  fees. 
18.9%  came  from  the  federal  government. 
22.9%  came  from  state  governments.  j 

2.6%  came  from  local  governments. 
6.4%  came  from  private  gifts  and  grants. 


COPYRIGHT   1964  BY  EDITORIAL  PROJECTS  FOR  EDUCATION.  INC. 


9.4%  was  other  educational  and  general  income,  including  income 
from  endowments. 

17.5%  came  from  auxiliary  enterprises,  such  as  dormitories,  cafeterias, 
and  dining  halls. 

1.6%  was  student-aid  income. 

Such  a  breakdown,  of  course,  does  not  match  the  income  picture 
at  any  actual  college  or  university.  It  includes  institutions  of  many  shapes, 
sizes,  and  financial  policies.  Some  heat  their  classrooms  and  pay  their 
professors  largely  with  money  collected  from  students.  Others  receive 
relatively  little  from  this  source.  Some  balance  their  budgets  with  large 
sums  from  governments.  Others  not  only  receive  no  such  funds,  but  may 
actively  spurn  them.  Some  draw  substantial  interest  from  their  endow- 
ments and  receive  gifts  and  grants  from  a  variety  of  sources. 

"There  is  something  very  reassuring  about  this  assorted  group  of 
patrons  of  higher  education,"  writes  a  college  president.  "They  are 
all  acknowledging  the  benefits  they  derive  from  a  strong  system  of  col- 
leges and  universities.  Churches  that  get  clergy,  communities  that  get 
better  citizens,  businesses  that  get  better  employees — all  share  in  the 
costs  of  the  productive  machinery,  along  with  the  student .  . . ." 

In  the  campus-to-campus  variations  there  is  often  a  deep  significance; 
an  institution's  method  of  financing  may  tell  as  much  about  its  philos- 
ophies as  do  the  most  eloquent  passages  in  its  catalogue.  In  this  sense, 
one  should  understand  that  whether  a  college  or  university  receives 
enough  income  to  survive  is  only  part  of  the  story.  How  and  where  it 
gets  its  money  may  have  an  equally  profound  effect  upon  its  destiny. 


PRIVATE  INSTITUTIONS: 
34.3%  of  their  income 
comes  from  student  fees. 


from  Students    20.7  per  cent 


Iast  fall,  some  4.4  million  young  Americans  were  enrolled  in  the 
J  nation's  colleges  and  universities — 2.7  million  in  public  institutions, 
1.7  million  in  private. 

For  most  of  them,  the  enrollment  process  included  a  stop  at  a  cashier's 
office,  to  pay  tuition  and  other  educational  fees. 

How  much  they  paid  varied  considerably  from  one  campus  to  another. 
For  those  attending  public  institutions,  according  to  a  U.S.  government 
survey,  the  median  in  1962-63  was  $170  per  year.  For  those  attending 
private  institutions,  the  median  was  $690 — four  times  as  high. 

There  were  such  differences  as  these: 

In  public  universities,  the  median  charge  was  $268. 

In  public  liberal  arts  colleges,  it  was  $168. 

In  public  teachers  colleges,  it  was  $208. 

In  public  junior  colleges,  it  was  $113. 

Such  educational  fees,  which  do  not  include  charges  for  meals  or  dormi- 


PUBLIC  INSTITUTIONS: 
10%  of  their  income 
comes  from  student  fees. 


TUITION  continued 


ton-  rooms,  brought  the  nation's  public  institutions  of  higher  education  a 
total  of  S415  million — one-tenth  of  their  entire  current-fund  income. 

By  comparison: 

In  private  universities,  the  median  charge  was  $1,038. 

In  private  liberal  arts  colleges,  it  was  $751. 

In  private  teachers  colleges,  it  was  $575. 

In  private  junior  colleges,  it  was  $502. 

In  1961-62,  such  student  payments  brought  the  private  colleges  and 
universities  a  total  of  $1.1  billion — more  than  one-third  of  their  entire 
current -fund  income. 

From  all  students,  in  all  types  of  institution.  America's  colleges  and 
universities  thus  collected  a  total  of  $1.5  billion  in  tuition  and  other 
educational  fees. 


Are  tuition  charges 

becoming 

too  burdensome? 


No  nation  puts  more  stock  in  maximum  college  attendance  by 
its  youth  than  does  the  United  States,"  says  an  American  report 
to  an  international  committee.  "Yet  no  nation  expects  those  receiving 
higher  education  to  pay  a  greater  share  of  its  cost." 

The  leaders  of  both  private  and  public  colleges  and  universities  are 
worried  by  this  paradox. 

Private-institution  leaders  are  worried  because  they  have  no  desire  to 
see  their  campuses  closed  to  all  but  the  sons  and  daughters  of  well-to-do 
families.  But,  in  effect,  this  is  what  may  happen  if  students  must  con- 
tinue to  be  charged  more  than  a  third  of  the  costs  of  providing  higher 
education — costs  that  seem  to  be  eternally  on  the  rise.  (Since  one-third 
is  the  average  for  all  private  colleges  and  universities,  the  students' 
share  of  costs  is  lower  in  some  private  colleges  and  universities,  con- 
siderably higher  in  others.) 

Public -institution  leaders  are  worried  because,  in  the  rise  of  tuition 
and  other  student  fees,  they  see  the  eventual  collapse  of  a  cherished 
American  dream :  equal  educational  opportunity  for  all.  Making  students 
pay  a  greater  part  of  the  cost  of  public  higher  education  is  no  mere 
theoretical  threat;  it  is  already  taking  place,  on  a  broad  scale.  Last  year, 
half  of  the  state  universities  and  land-grant  institutions  surveyed  by 
the  federal  government  reported  that,  in  the  previous  12  months,  they 
had  had  to  increase  the  tuition  and  fees  charged  to  home-state  students. 
More  than  half  had  raised  their  charges  to  students  who  came  from 
other  states. 

Can  the  rise  in  tuition  rates  be  stopped — at  either  public  or  pri- 
vate colleges  and  universities? 
A  few  vocal  critics  think  it  should  not  be;  that  tuition  should,  in  fact, 
go  up.  Large  numbers  of  students  can  afford  considerably  more  than 
they  are  now  paying,  the  critics  say. 

"Just  look  at  the  student  parking  lots.  You  and  I  are  helping  to  pay 
for  those  kids'  cars  with  our  taxes,"  one  campus  visitor  said  last  fall. 
Asked  an  editorial  in  a  Tulsa  newspaper: 


"Why  should  taxpayers,  most  of  whom  have  not  had  the  advantage 
of  college  education,  continue  to  subsidize  students  in  state-supported 
universities  who  have  enrolled,  generally,  for  the  frank  purpose  of 
eventually  earning  more  than  the  average  citizen?" 

An  editor  in  Omaha  had  similar  questions: 

"Why  shouldn't  tuition  cover  more  of  the  rising  costs?  And  why 
shouldn't  young  people  be  willing  to  pay  higher  tuition  fees,  and  if 
necessary  borrow  the  money  against  their  expected  earnings?  And  why 
shouldn't  tuition  charges  have  a  direct  relationship  to  the  prospective 
earning  power — less  in  the  case  of  the  poorer-paid  professions  and 
more  in  the  case  of  those  which  are  most  remunerative?" 

Such  questions,  or  arguments-in-the-form-of-questions,  miss  the 
main  point  of  tax-supported  higher  education,  its  supporters  say. 

"The  primary  beneficiary  of  higher  education  is  society,"  says  a  joint 
statement  of  the  State  Universities  Association  and  the  Association  of 
State  Universities  and  Land-Grant  Colleges. 

"The  process  of  making  students  pay  an  increasing  proportion  of  the 
costs  of  higher  education  will,  if  continued,  be  disastrous  to  American 
society  and  to  American  national  strength. 

"It  is  based  on  the  theory  that  higher  education  benefits  only  the 
individual  and  that  he  should  therefore  pay  immediately  and  directly 
for  its  cost — through  borrowing  if  necessary.  .  .  . 

"This  is  a  false  theory.  ...  It  is  true  that  great  economic  and  other 
benefits  do  accrue  to  the  individual,  and  it  is  the  responsibility  of  the 
individual  to  help  pay  for  the  education  of  others  on  this  account — 
through  taxation  and  through  voluntary  support  of  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, in  accordance  with  the  benefits  received.  But  even  from  the 
narrowest  of  economic  standpoints,  a  general  responsibility  rests  on 
society  to  finance  higher  education.  The  businessman  who  has  things 
to  sell  is  a  beneficiary,  whether  he  attends  college  or  not,  whether  his 
children  do  or  not 

Says  a  university  president:  "I  am  worried,  as  are  most  educators, 
about  the  possibility  that  we  will  price  ourselves  out  of  the  market." 

For  private  colleges — already  forced  to  charge  for  a  large  part  of  the 
cost  of  providing  higher  education — the  problem  is  particularly  acute. 
As  costs  continue  to  rise,  where  will  private  colleges  get  the  income  to 
meet  them,  if  not  from  tuition? 

After  studying  100  projections  of  their  budgets  by  private  liberal 
arts  colleges,  Sidney  G.  Tickton,  of  the  Fund  for  the  Advancement  of 
Education,  flatly  predicted: 

"Tuition  will  be  much  higher  ten  years  hence." 

Already,  Mr.  Tickton  pointed  out,  tuition  at  many  private  colleges  is 
beyond  the  reach  of  large  numbers  of  students,  and  scholarship  aid 
isn't  large  enough  to  help.  "Private  colleges  are  beginning  to  realize 
that  they  haven't  been  taking  many  impecunious  students  in  recent 
years.  The  figures  show  that  they  can  be  expected  to  take  an  even  smaller 
proportion  in  the  future. 


Or  should  students 
carry  a  heavier 
share  of  the  costs?

TUITION  continued 


PRIVATE  INSTITUTIONS:

22.9  per  cent     from  States 


PUBLIC  INSTITUTIONS: 

39.7%  of  their  income

"The  facts  are  indisputable.  Private  colleges  may  not  like  to  admit 
this  or  think  of  themselves  as  educators  of  only  the  well-heeled,  but  the 
signs  are  that  they  aren't  likely  to  be  able  to  do  very  much  about  it  in 
the  decade  ahead." 

What  is  the  outlook  at  public  institutions?  Members  of  the  Asso- 
ciation of  State  Colleges  and  Universities  were  recently  asked  to  make 
some  predictions  on  this  point.  The  consensus: 

They  expect  the  tuition  and  fees  charged  to  their  home-state  students 
to  rise  from  a  median  of  $200  in  1962-63  to  $230,  five  years  later.  In 
the  previous  five  years,  the  median  tuition  had  increased  from  $150  to 
$200.  Thus  the  rising-tuition  trend  would  not  be  stopped,  they  felt — but 
it  would  be  slowed. 

The  only  alternative  to  higher  tuition,  whether  at  public  or  private 
institutions,  is  increased  income  from  other  sources — taxes,  gifts, 
grants.  If  costs  continue  to  increase,  such  income  will  have  to  in- 
crease not  merely  in  proportion,  but  at  a  faster  rate — if  student  charges 
are  to  be  held  at  their  present  levels. 

What  are  the  prospects  for  these  other  sources  of  income?  See  the 
pages  that  follow. 


Colleges  and  universities  depend  upon  many  sources  for  their  fi- 
nancial support.  But  one  source  towers  high  above  all  the  rest:  the 
American  taxpayer. 

The  taxpayer  provides  funds  for  higher  education  through  all  levels 
of  government — federal,  state,  and  local. 

Together,  in  the  most  recent  year  reported,  governments  supplied  44.4 
per  cent  of  the  current-fund  income  of  all  U.S.  colleges  and  universities— 
a  grand  total  of  $3.2  billion. 

This  was  more  than  twice  as  much  as  all  college  and  university  stu- 
dents paid  in  tuition  fees.  It  was  nearly  seven  times  the  total  of  all 
private  gifts  and  grants. 

By  far  the  largest  sums  for  educational  purposes  came  from  state  and 
local  governments:  $1.9  billion,  altogether.  (Although  the  federal 
government's  over-all  expenditures  on  college  and  university  campuses 
were  large — nearly  $1.4  billion — all  but  $262  million  was  earmarked  for 
research.) 

States  have  had  a  financial  interest  in  higher  education  since  the 
nation's  founding.  (Even  before  independence,  Harvard  and  other 
colonial  colleges  had  received  government  support.)  The  first  state  uni- 
versity, the  University  of  Georgia,  was  chartered  in  1785.  As  settlers 


moved  west,  each  new  state  received  two  townships  of  land  from  the 
federal  government,  to  support  an  institution  of  higher  education. 

But  the  true  flourishing  of  publicly  supported  higher  education  came 
after  the  Civil  War.  State  universities  grew.  Land-grant  colleges  were 
founded,  fostered  by  the  Morrill  Act  of  1862.  Much  later,  local  govern- 
ments entered  the  picture  on  a  large  scale,  particularly  in  the  junior- 
college  field. 

Today,  the  U.S.  system  of  publicly  supported  colleges  and  universities 
is,  however  one  measures  it,  the  world's  greatest.  It  comprises  743  in- 
stitutions (345  local,  386  state,  12  federal),  compared  with  a  total  of 
1,357  institutions  that  are  privately  controlled. 

Enrollments  in  the  public  colleges  and  universities  are  awesome,  and 
certain  to  become  more  so. 

As  recently  as  1950,  half  of  all  college  and  university  students  attended 
private  institutions.  No  longer — and  probably  never  again.  Last  fall, 
the  public  colleges  and  universities  enrolled  60  per  cent — one  million 
more  students  than  did  the  private  institutions.  And,  as  more  and  more 
young  Americans  go  to  college  in  the  years  ahead,  both  the  number  and 
the  proportion  attending  publicly  controlled  institutions  will  soar. 

By  1970,  according  to  one  expert  projection,  there  will  be  7  million 
college  and  university  students.  Public  institutions  will  enroll  67  per  cent 
of  them. 

By  1980,  there  will  be  10  million  students.  Public  institutions  will 
enroll  75  per  cent  of  them. 


The  financial  implications  of  such  enrollments  are  enormous. 
Will  state  and  local  governments  be  able  to  cope  with  them? 

In  the  latest  year  for  which  figures  have  been  tabulated,  the  current- 
fund  income  of  the  nation's  public  colleges  and  universities  was  $4. 1 
billion.  Of  this  total,  state  and  local  governments  supplied  more  than 
$1.8  billion,  or  44  per  cent.  To  this  must  be  added  $790  million  in  capital 
outlays  for  higher  education,  including  $613  million  for  new  construc- 
tion. 

In  the  fast-moving  world  of  public-college  and  university  financing, 
such  heady  figures  are  already  obsolete.  At  present,  reports  the  Commit- 
tee for  Economic  Development,  expenditures  for  higher  education  are 
the  fastest-growing  item  of  state  and  local-government  financing.  Be- 
tween 1962  and  1968,  while  expenditures  for  all  state  and  local-govern- 
ment activities  will  increase  by  about  50  per  cent,  expenditures  for  higher 
education  will  increase  120  per  cent.  In  1962,  such  expenditures  repre- 
sented 9.5  per  cent  of  state  and  local  tax  income;  in  1968,  they  will  take 
12.3  percent. 

Professor  M.M.  Chambers,  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  has  totted 
up  each  state's  tax-fund  appropriations  to  colleges  and  universities  (see 
list,  next  page).  He  cautions  readers  not  to  leap  to  interstate  compari- 
sons; there  are  too  many  differences  between  the  practices  of  the  50 
states  to  make  such  an  exercise  valid.  But  the  differences  do  not  obscure 


Will  state  taxes 

be  sufficient  to  meet 

the  rocketing  demand?

continued  opposite 


the  fact  that,  between  fiscal  year  1961  and  fiscal  1963,  all  states  excep 
Alabama  and  Montana  increased  their  tax-fund  appropriations  to 
higher  education.  The  average  was  a  whopping  24.5  per  cent. 

Can  states  continue  to  increase  appropriations?  No  one  answer  will 
serve  from  coast  to  coast. 

Poor  states  will  have  a  particularly  difficult  problem.  The  Southern 
Regional  Education  Board,  in  a  recent  report,  told  why: 

"Generally,  the  states  which  have  the  greatest  potential  demand  for 
higher  education  are  the  states  which  have  the  fewest  resources  to  meet 
the  demand.  Rural  states  like  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Mississippi,  and 
South  Carolina  have  large  numbers  of  college-age  young  people  am 
relatively  small  per-capita  income  levels."  Such  states,  the  report  con- 
cluded, can  achieve  educational  excellence  only  if  they  use  a  larger  pro- 
portion of  their  resources  than  does  the  nation  as  a  whole. 

A  leading  Western  educator  summed  up  his  state's  problem  as  fol 
lows: 

"Our  largest  age  groups,  right  now,  are  old  people  and  youngster: 
approaching  college  age.  Both  groups  depend  heavily  upon  the  pro- 
ducing, taxpaying  members  of  our  economy.  The  elderly  demand  state- 
financed  welfare;  the  young  demand  state-financed  education. 

"At  present,  however,  the  producing  part  of  our  economy  is  com- 
posed largely  of  'depression  babies' — a  comparatively  small  group.  For 
the  next  few  years,  their  per-capita  tax  burden  will  be  pretty  heavy,  anc 
it  may  be  hard  to  get  them  to  accept  any  big  increases." 

But  the  alternatives  to  more  tax  money  for  public  colleges  and  uni 
versities — higher  tuition  rates,  the  turning  away  of  good  students — may 
be  even  less  acceptable  to  many  taxpayers.  Such  is  the  hope  of  thos 
who  believe  in  low-cost,  public  higher  education. 


Every  projection  of  future  needs  shows  that  state  and  local  gov 
ernments  must  increase  their  appropriations  vastly,  if  the  people's 
demands  for  higher  education  are  to  be  met.  The  capacity  of  a  gov 
ernment  to  make  such  increases,  as  a  California  study  has  pointed  out, 
depends  on  three  basic  elements: 

1)  The  size  of  the  "stream  of  income"  from  which  the  support  for 
higher  education  must  be  drawn; 

2)  The  efficiency  and  effectiveness  of  the  tax  system;  and 

3)  The  will  of  the  people  to  devote  enough  money  to  the  purpose. 
Of  these  elements,  the  third  is  the  hardest  to  analyze,  in  economic 

terms.  It  may  well  be  the  most  crucial. 

Here  is  why: 

In  their  need  for  increased  state  and  local  funds,  colleges  and  univer 
sities  will  be  in  competition  with  growing  needs  for  highways,  urban 
renewal,  and  all  the  other  services  that  citizens  demand  of  their  govern 
ments.  How  the  available  tax  funds  will  be  allocated  will  depend,  in 
large  measure,  on  how  the  people  rank  their  demands,  and  how  insist 
ently  they  make  the  demands  known. 


"No  one  should  know  better  than  our  alumni  the  importance  of 
having  society  invest  its  money  and  faith  in  the  education  of  its  young 
people,"  Allan  W.  Ostar,  director  of  the  Office  of  Institutional  Research, 
said  recently.  "Yet  all  too  often  we  find  alumni  of  state  universities 
who  are  not  willing  to  provide  the  same  opportunity  to  future  genera- 
tions that  they  enjoyed.  Our  alumni  should  be  leading  the  fight  for 
adequate  tax  support  of  our  public  colleges  and  universities. 

"If  they  don't,  who  will?" 

To  some  Americans,  the  growth  of  state-supported  higher  educa- 
tion, compared  with  that  of  the  private  colleges  and  universities, 
has  been  disturbing  for  other  reasons  than  its  effects  upon  the  tax  rate. 

One  cause  of  their  concern  is  a  fear  that  government  dollars  inevitably 
will  be  accompanied  by  a  dangerous  sort  of  government  control.  The 
fabric  of  higher  education,  they  point  out,  is  laced  with  controversy, 
new  ideas,  and  challenges  to  all  forms  of  the  status  quo.  Faculty 
members,  to  be  effective  teachers  and  researchers,  must  be  free  of 
reprisal  or  fears  of  reprisal.  Students  must  be  encouraged  to  experiment, 
to  question,  to  disagree. 

The  best  safeguard,  say  those  who  have  studied  the  question,  is  legal 
autonomy  for  state-supported  higher  education:  independent  boards 
of  regents  or  trustees,  positive  protections  against  interference  by  state 
agencies,  post-audits  of  accounts  but  no  line-by-line  political  control 
over  budget  proposals — the  latter  being  a  device  by  which  a  legislature 
might  be  able  to  cut  the  salary  of  an  "offensive"  professor  or  stifle 
another's  research.  Several  state  constitutions  already  guarantee  such 
autonomy  to  state  universities.  But  in  some  other  states,  college  and 
university  administrators  must  be  as  adept  at  politicking  as  at  edu- 
cating, if  their  institutions  are  to  thrive. 

Another  concern  has  been  voiced  by  many  citizens.  What  will  be  the 
effects  upon  the  country's  private  colleges,  they  ask,  if  the  public- 
higher-education  establishment  continues  to  expand  at  its  present  rate? 
With  state-financed  institutions  handling  more  and  more  students — 
and,  generally,  charging  far  lower  tuition  fees  than  the  private  insti- 
tutions can  afford — how  can  the  small  private  colleges  hope  to  survive? 

President  Robert  D.  Calkins,  of  the  Brookings  Institution,  has  said: 

"Thus  far,  no  promising  alternative  to  an  increased  reliance  on 
public  institutions  and  public  support  has  appeared  as  a  means  of 
dealing  with  the  expanding  demand  for  education.  The  trend  may  be 
checked,  but  there  is  nothing  in  sight  to  reverse  it.  .  .  . 

"Many  weak  private  institutions  may  have  to  face  a  choice  between 
insolvency,  mediocrity,  or  qualifying  as  public  institutions.  But  en- 
larged opportunities  for  many  private  and  public  institutions  will  exist, 
often  through  cooperation By  pooling  resources,  all  may  be  strength- 
ened.... In  view  of  the  recent  support  the  liberal  arts  colleges  have  elicited, 
the  more  enterprising  ones,  at  least,  have  an  undisputed  role  for  future 
service."

18.9  per  cent    from  Washington 


PRIVATE  INSTITUTIONS: 

19.1%  of  their  income 

comes  from  Washington. 


I  seem  to  spend  half  my  life  on  the  jets  between  here  and  Washing- 
ton," said  an  official  of  a  private  university  on  the  West  Coast,  not 
long  ago. 

"We've  decided  to  man  a  Washington  office,  full  time,"  said  the 
spokesman  for  a  state  university,  a  few  miles  away. 

For  one  in  20  U.S.  institutions  of  higher  education,  the  federal  govern- 
ment in  recent  years  has  become  one  of  the  biggest  facts  of  financial 
life.  For  some  it  is  the  biggest.  "The  not-so-jolly  long-green  giant,"  one 
man  calls  it. 

Washington  is  no  newcomer  to  the  campus  scene.  The  difference, 
today,  is  one  of  scale.  Currently  the  federal  government  spends  between 
$1  billion  and  $2  billion  a  year  at  colleges  and  universities.  So  vast  are 
the  expenditures,  and  so  diverse  are  the  government  channels  through 
which  they  flow  to  the  campuses,  that  a  precise  figure  is  impossible  to 
come  by.  The  U.S.  Office  of  Education's  latest  estimate,  covering  fiscal 
1962,  is  that  Washington  was  the  source  of  $1,389  billion— or  nearly 
19  per  cent — of  higher  education's  total  current-fund  income. 

"It  may  readily  be  seen,"  said  Congresswoman  Edith  Green  of  Ore- 
gon, in  a  report  last  year  to  the  House  Committee  on  Education  and 
Labor,  "that  the  question  is  not  whether  there  shall  be  federal  aid  to 
education." 

Federal  aid  exists.  It  is  big  and  is  growing. 


PUBLIC  INSTITUTIONS: 

18.6%  of  their  income 

comes  from  Washington. 


The  word  aid,  however,  is  misleading.  Most  of  the  federal  govern- 
ment's expenditures  in  higher  education — more  than  four  and  a 
half  times  as  much  as  for  all  other  purposes  combined — are  for  research 
that  the  government  needs.  Thus,  in  a  sense,  the  government  is  the  pur- 
chaser of  a  commodity;  the  universities,  like  any  other  producer  with 
whom  the  government  does  business,  supply  that  commodity.  The  re- 
lationship is  one  of  quid  pro  quo. 

Congresswoman  Green  is  quick  to  acknowledge  this  fact: 

"What  has  not  been  .  .  .  clear  is  the  dependency  of  the  federal  govern- 
ment on  the  educational  system.  The  government  relies  upon  the  uni- 
versities to  do  those  things  which  cannot  be  done  by  government  person- 
nel in  government  facilities. 

"It  turns  to  the  universities  to  conduct  basic  research  in  the  fields 
of  agriculture,  defense,  medicine,  public  health,  and  the  conquest  of 
space,  and  even  for  managing  and  staffing  of  many  governmental  re- 
search laboratories. 

"It  relies  on  university  faculty  to  judge  the  merits  of  proposed  re- 
search. 

"It  turns  to  them  for  the  management  and  direction  of  its  foreign  aid 
programs  in  underdeveloped  areas  of  the  world. 


"It  relies  on  them  for  training,  in  every  conceivable  field,  of  govern- 
ment personnel — both  military  and  civilian." 


The  full  range  of  federal-government  relationships  with  U.S.  high- 
er education  can  only  be  suggested  in  the  scope  of  this  report. 
Here  are  some  examples: 

Land-grant  colleges  had  their  origins  in  the  Morrill  Land  Grant  Col- 
lege Act  of  1 862,  when  the  federal  government  granted  public  lands  to 
the  states  for  the  support  of  colleges  "to  teach  such  branches  of  learning 
as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,"  but  not  excluding 
science  and  classics.  Today  there  are  68  such  institutions.  In  fiscal  1962, 
the  federal  government  distributed  $10.7  million  in  land-grant  funds. 

The  armed  forces  operate  officers  training  programs  in  the  colleges  and 
universities — their  largest  source  of  junior  officers. 

Student  loans,  under  the  National  Defense  Education  Act,  are  the 
major  form  of  federal  assistance  to  undergraduate  students.  They  are 
administered  by  1,534  participating  colleges  and  universities,  which 
select  recipients  on  the  basis  of  need  and  collect  the  loan  repayments.  In 
fiscal  1962,  more  than  170,000  undergraduates  and  nearly  15,000  gradu- 
ate students  borrowed  $90  million  in  this  way. 

"The  success  of  the  federal  loan  program,"  says  the  president  of  a 
college  for  women,  "is  one  of  the  most  significant  indexes  of  the  im- 
portant place  the  government  has  in  financing  private  as  well  as  public 
educational  institutions.  The  women's  colleges,  by  the  way,  used  to  scoff 
at  the  loan  program.  'Who  would  marry  a  girl  with  a  debt?'  people 
asked.  'A  girl's  dowry  shouldn't  be  a  mortgage,'  they  said.  But  now 
more  than  25  per  cent  of  our  girls  have  government  loans,  and  they 
don't  seem  at  all  perturbed." 

Fellowship  grants  to  graduate  students,  mostly  for  advanced  work  in 
science  or  engineering,  supported  more  than  35,000  persons  in  fiscal 
1962.  Cost  to  the  government:  nearly  $104  million.  In  addition,  around 
20,000  graduate  students  served  as  paid  assistants  on  government- 
sponsored  university  research  projects. 

Dormitory  loans  through  the  college  housing  program  of  the  Housing 
and  Home  Finance  Agency  have  played  a  major  role  in  enabling  col- 
leges and  universities  to  build  enough  dormitories,  dining  halls,  student 
unions,  and  health  facilities  for  their  burgeoning  enrollments.  Between 
1951  and  1961,  loans  totaling  more  than  $1.5  billion  were  approved. 
Informed  observers  believe  this  program  finances  from  35  to  45  per 
cent  of  the  total  current  construction  of  such  facilities. 

Grants  for  research  facilities  and  equipment  totaled  $98.5  million  in 
fiscal  1962,  the  great  bulk  of  which  went  to  universities  conducting 
scientific  research.  The  National  Science  Foundation,  the  National 
Institutes  of  Health,  the  National  Aeronautics  and  Space  Administra- 
tion, and  the  Atomic  Energy  Commission  are  the  principal  sources  of 
such  grants.  A  Department  of  Defense  program  enables  institutions  to 
build  facilities  and  write  off  the  cost. 

To  help  finance  new  classrooms,  libraries,  and  laboratories,  Congress 
last  year  passed  a  $1. 195  billion  college  aid  program  and,  said  President 


Can  federal  dollars

Johnson,  thus  was  "on  its  way  to  doing  more  for  education  than  any 
since  the  land-grant  college  bill  was  passed  100  years  ago." 

Support  for  medical  education  through  loans  to  students  and  funds  for 
construction  was  authorized  by  Congress  last  fall,  when  it  passed  a  S236 
million  program. 

To  strengthen  the  curriculum  in  various  ways,  federal  agencies  spent 
approximately  $9.2  million  in  fiscal  1962.  Samples:  A  $2  million  Na- 
tional Science  Foundation  program  to  improve  the  content  of  science 
courses;  a  $2  million  Office  of  Education  program  to  help  colleges  and 
universities  develop,  on  a  matching-fund  basis,  language  and  area-study 
centers;  a  $2  million  Public  Health  Service  program  to  expand,  create, 
and  improve  graduate  work  in  public  health. 

Support  for  international  programs  involving  U.S.  colleges  and  univer- 
sities came  from  several  federal  sources.  Examples:  Funds  spent  by  the 
Peace  Corps  for  training  and  research  totaled  more  than  $7  million.  The 
Agency  for  International  Development  employed  some  70  institutions 
to  administer  its  projects  overseas,  at  a  cost  of  about  $26  million.  The 
State  Department  paid  nearly  $6  million  to  support  more  than  2,500 
foreign  students  on  U.S.  campuses,  and  an  additional  $1.5  million  to 
support  more  than  700  foreign  professors.

But  the  greatest  federal  influence,  on  many  U.S.  campuses,  comes 
through  the  government's  expenditures  for  research. 

As  one  would  expect,  most  of  such  expenditures  are  made  at  univer- 
sities, rather  than  at  colleges  (which,  with  some  exceptions,  conduct 
little  research). 

In  the  1963  Godkin  Lectures  at  Harvard,  the  University  of  California's 
President  Clark  Kerr  called  the  federal  government's  support  of  research, 
starting  in  World  War  II,  one  of  the  "two  great  impacts  [which],  beyond 
all  other  forces,  have  molded  the  modern  American  university  system 
and  made  it  distinctive."  (The  other  great  impact:  the  land-grant  college 
movement.) 

At  the  institutions  where  they  are  concentrated,  federal  research  funds 
have  had  marked  effects.  A  self-study  by  Harvard,  for  example,  revealed 
that  90  per  cent  of  the  research  expenditures  in  the  university's  physics 
department  were  paid  for  by  the  federal  government;  67 per  cent  in  the 
chemistry  department;  and  95  per  cent  in  the  division  of  engineering  and 
applied  physics. 

Is  this  government-dollar  dominance  in  many  universities'  research 
budgets  a  healthy  development? 
After  analyzing  the  role  of  the  federal  government  on  their  campuses, 
a  group  of  universities  reporting  to  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for  the 
Advancement  of  Teaching  agreed  that  "the  effects  [of  government  ex- 
penditures for  campus-based  research  projects]  have,  on  balance,  been 
salutary." 

Said  the  report  of  one  institution: 

"The  opportunity  to  make  expenditures  of  this  size  has  permitted  a 


research  effort  far  superior  to  anything  that  could  have  been  done  with- 
out recourse  to  government  sponsors.  .  .  . 

"Any  university  that  declined  to  participate  in  the  growth  of  spon- 
sored research  would  have  had  to  pay  a  high  price  in  terms  of  the  quality 
of  its  faculty  in  the  science  and  engineering  areas.  .  .  ." 

However,  the  university-government  relationship  is  not  without  its 
irritations. 

One  of  the  most  irksome,  say  many  institutions,  is  the  government's 
failure  to  reimburse  them  fully  for  the  "indirect  costs"  they  incur  in 
connection  with  federally  sponsored  research — costs  of  administration, 
of  libraries,  of  operating  and  maintaining  their  physical  plant.  If  the 
government  fails  to  cover  such  costs,  the  universities  must — often  by 
drawing  upon  funds  that  might  otherwise  be  spent  in  strengthening 
areas  that  are  not  favored  with  large  amounts  of  federal  support,  e.g., 
the  humanities. 

Some  see  another  problem:  faculty  members  may  be  attracted  to  cer- 
tain research  areas  simply  because  federal  money  is  plentiful  there. 
"This  .  .  .  may  tend  to  channel  their  efforts  away  from  other  important 
research  and  . . .  from  their  teaching  and  public-service  responsibilities," 
one  university  study  said. 

The  government's  emphasis  upon  science,  health,  and  engineering, 
some  persons  believe,  is  another  drawback  to  the  federal  research  ex- 
penditures. "Between  departments,  a  form  of  imbalance  may  result," 
said  a  recent  critique.  "The  science  departments  and  their  research  may 
grow  and  prosper.  The  departments  of  the  humanities  and  social  sci- 
ences may  continue,  at  best,  to  maintain  their  status  quo." 

"There  needs  to  be  a  National  Science  Foundation  for  the  humani- 
ties," says  the  chief  academic  officer  of  a  Southern  university  which  gets 
approximately  20  per  cent  of  its  annual  budget  from  federal  grants. 

"Certainly  government  research  programs  create  imbalances  within 
departments  and  between  departments,"  said  the  spokesman  for  a  lead- 
ing Catholic  institution,  "but  so  do  many  other  influences  at  work  within 
a  university ....  Imbalances  must  be  lived  with  and  made  the  most  of,  if 
a  level  of  uniform  mediocrity  is  not  to  prevail." 

The  concentration  of  federal  funds  in  a  few  institutions— usually 
the  institutions  which  already  are  financially  and  educationally 
strong — makes  sense  from  the  standpoint  of  the  quid  pro  quo  philoso- 
phy that  motivates  the  expenditure  of  most  government  funds.  The 
strong  research-oriented  universities,  obviously,  can  deliver  the  commod- 
ity the  government  wants. 

But,  consequently,  as  a  recent  Carnegie  report  noted,  "federal  support 
is,  for  many  colleges  and  universities,  not  yet  a  decisive  or  even  a  highly 
influential  fact  of  academic  life." 

Why,  some  persons  ask,  should  not  the  government  conduct  equally 
well-financed  programs  in  order  to  improve  those  colleges  and  uni- 
versities which  are  not  strong — and  thus  raise  the  quality  of  U.S.  higher 
education  as  a  whole?

This  question  is  certain  to  be  warmly  debated  in  years  to  come. 
Coupled  with  philosophical  support  or  opposition  will  be  this  pressing 
practical  question:  can  private  money,  together  with  state  and  local 
government  funds,  solve  higher  education's  financial  problems,  without 
resort  to  Washington?  Next  fall,  when  the  great,  long-predicted  "tidal 
wave"  of  students  at  last  reaches  the  nation's  campuses,  the  time  of 
testing  will  begin. 


6.4  per  cent    from  Gifts  and  Grants 


PRIVATE  INSTITUTIONS: 

11.6%  of  their  income 

comes  from  gifts  and  grants. 


PUBLIC  INSTITUTIONS: 

2.3%  of  their  income 

comes  from  gifts  and  grants. 


ASA  source  of  income  for  U.S.  higher  education,  private  gifts  and 
Xl  grants  are  a  comparatively  small  slice  on  the  pie  charts:  11.6%  for 
the  private  colleges  and  universities,  only  2.3%  for  public. 

But,  to  both  types  of  institution,  private  gifts  and  grants  have  an  im- 
portance far  greater  than  these  percentages  suggest. 

"For  us,"  says  a  representative  of  a  public  university  in  the  Midwest, 
"private  funds  mean  the  difference  between  the  adequate  and  the  ex- 
cellent. The  university  needs  private  funds  to  serve  purposes  for  which 
state  funds  cannot  be  used:  scholarships,  fellowships,  student  loans,  the 
purchase  of  rare  books  and  art  objects,  research  seed  grants,  experi- 
mental programs." 

"Because  the  state  provides  basic  needs,"  says  another  public- 
university  man,  "every  gift  dollar  can  be  used  to  provide  for  a  margin 
of  excellence." 

Says  the  spokesman  for  a  private  liberal  arts  college:  "We  must  seek 
gifts  and  grants  as  we  have  never  sought  them  before.  They  are  our  one 
hope  of  keeping  educational  quality  up,  tuition  rates  down,  and  the 
student  body  democratic.  I'll  even  go  so  far  as  to  say  they  are  our  main 
hope  of  keeping  the  college,  as  we  know  it,  alive." 


From  1954-55  through  1960-61,  the  independent  Council  for  Finan- 
cial Aid  to  Education  has  made  a  biennial  survey  of  the  country's 
colleges  and  universities,  to  learn  how  much  private  aid  they  received. 
In  four  surveys,  the  institutions  answering  the  council's  questionnaires 
reported  they  had  received  more  than  $2.4  billion  in  voluntary  gifts. 

Major  private  universities  received  $1,046  million. 

Private  coeducational  colleges  received  $628  million. 

State  universities  received  nearly  $320  million. 

Professional  schools  received  $171  million. 

Private  women's  colleges  received  $126  million. 

Private  men's  colleges  received  $117  million. 

Junior  colleges  received  $31  million. 

Municipal  universities  received  nearly  $16  million. 


Over  the  years  covered  by  the  CFAE's  surveys,  these  increases  took 
place: 
Gifts  to  the  private  universities  went  up  95.6%. 
Gifts  to  private  coed  colleges  went  up  82%. 
Gifts  to  state  universities  went  up  184%. 
Gifts  to  professional  schools  went  up  134%. 

Where  did  the  money  come  from?  Gifts  and  grants  reported  to  the 
council  came  from  these  sources: 
General  welfare  foundations  gave  $653  million. 
Non-alumni  donors  gave  $539.7  million. 
Alumni  and  alumnae  gave  $496  million. 
Business  corporations  gave  $345.8  million. 
Religious  denominations  gave  $216  million. 
Non-alumni,  non-church  groups  gave  $139  million. 
Other  sources  gave  $66.6  million. 

All  seven  sources  increased  their  contributions  over  the  period. 

BUT  the  records  of  past  years  are  only  preludes  to  the  voluntary 
giving  of  the  future,  experts  feel. 

Dr.  John  A.  Pollard,  who  conducts  the  surveys  of  the  Council  for 
Financial  Aid  to  Education,  estimates  conservatively  that  higher  educa- 
tion will  require  $9  billion  per  year  by  1969-70,  for  educational  and 
general  expenditures,  endowment,  and  plant  expansion.  This  would  be 
1.3  per  cent  of  an  expected  $700  billion  Gross  National  Product. 

Two  billion  dollars,  Dr.  Pollard  believes,  must  come  in  the  form  of 
private  gifts  and  grants.  Highlights  of  his  projections: 

Business  corporations  will  increase  their  contributions  to  higher  educa- 
tion at  a  rate  of  16.25  per  cent  a  year.  Their  1969-70  total:  $508  million. 

Foundations  will  increase  their  contributions  at  a  rate  of  14.5  per 
cent  a  year.  Their  1969-70  total:  $520.7  million. 

Alumni  will  increase  their  contributions  at  a  rate  of  14.5  per  cent  a 
year.  Their  1969-70  total:  $591  million. 

Non-alumni  individuals  will  increase  their  contributions  at  a  rate  of 

12.6  per  cent  a  year.  Their  1969-70  total:  $524.6  million. 

Religious  denominations  will  increase  their  contributions  at  a  rate  of 

12.7  per  cent.  Their  1969-70  total:  $215.6  million. 

Non-alumni,  non-church  groups  and  other  sources  will  increase  their 
contributions  at  rates  of  4  per  cent  and  1  per  cent,  respectively.  Their 
1969-70  total:  $62  million. 

"I  think  we  must  seriously  question  whether  these  estimates  are 
realistic,"  said  a  business  man,  in  response  to  Dr.  Pollard's  estimate  of 
1969-70  gifts  by  corporations.  "Corporate  funds  are  not  a  bottomless 
pit;  the  support  the  corporations  give  to  education  is,  after  all,  one  of 
the  costs  of  doing  business.  ...  It  may  become  more  difficult  to  provide 
for  such  support,  along  with  other  foreseeable  increased  costs,  in  setting 
product  prices.  We  cannot  assume  that  all  this  money  is  going  to  be 
available  simply  because  we  want  it  to  be.  The  more  fruit  you  shake 
from  the  tree,  the  more  difficult  it  becomes  to  find  still  more." 


Coming:  a  need 

for  $9  billion 

a  year.  Impossible?

But  others  are  more  optimistic.  Says  the  CFAE: 

"Fifteen  years  ago  nobody  could  safely  have  predicted  the  level  of 
voluntary  support  of  higher  education  in  1962.  Its  climb  has  been  spec- 
tacular. . . . 

"So,  on  the  record,  it  probably  is  safe  to  say  that  the  potential  of 
voluntary  support  of  U.S.  higher  education  has  only  been  scratched. 
The  people  have  developed  a  quenchless  thirst  for  higher  learning  and, 
equally,  the  means  and  the  will  to  support  its  institutions  adequately." 

A  lumni  and  alumnae  will  have  a  critical  role  to  play  in  determining 
XO.  whether  the  projections  turn  out  to  have  been  sound  or  unrealistic. 

Of  basic  importance,  of  course,  are  their  own  gifts  to  their  alma 
maters.  The  American  Alumni  Council,  in  its  most  recent  year's  com- 
pilation, reported  that  alumni  support,  as  measured  from  the  reports 
of  927  colleges  and  universities,  had  totaled  $196.7  million — a  new 
record. 

Lest  this  figure  cause  alumni  and  alumnae  to  engage  in  unrestrained 
self-congratulations,  however,  let  them  consider  these  words  from  one 
of  the  country's  veteran  (and  most  outspoken)  alumni  secretaries: 

"Of  shocking  concern  is  the  lack  of  interest  of  most  of  the  alumni. . . . 
The  country  over,  only  about  one-fifth  on  the  average  pay  dues  to  their 
alumni  associations;  only  one-fourth  on  the  average  contribute  to  their 
alumni  funds.  There  are,  of  course,  heartwarming  instances  where 
participation  reaches  70  and  80  per  cent,  but  they  are  rare.  .  .  ." 

Commenting  on  these  remarks,  a  fund-raising  consultant  wrote: 

"The  fact  that  about  three-fourths  of  college  and  university  alumni 
do  not  contribute  anything  at  all  to  their  alma  maters  seems  to  be  a 
strong  indication  that  they  lack  sufficient  feeling  of  responsibility  to 
support  these  institutions.  There  was  a  day  when  it  could  be  argued 
that  this  support  was  not  forthcoming  because  the  common  man 
simply  did  not  have  funds  to  contribute  to  universities.  While  this  argu- 
ment is  undoubtedly  used  today,  it  carries  a  rather  hollow  ring  in  a 
nation  owning  nearly  two  cars  for  every  family  and  so  many  pleasure 
boats  that  there  is  hardly  space  left  for  them  on  available  water." 

Alumni  support  has  an  importance  even  beyond  the  dollars  that 
it  yields  to  higher  education.  More  than  220  business  corporations  will 
match  their  employees'  contributions.  And  alumni  support — particu- 
larly the  percentage  of  alumni  who  make  gifts — is  frequently  used  by 
other  prospective  donors  as  a  guide  to  how  much  they  should  give. 

Most  important,  alumni  and  alumnae  wear  many  hats.  They  are  indi- 
vidual citizens,  corporate  leaders,  voters,  taxpayers,  legislators,  union 
members,  church  leaders.  In  every  role,  they  have  an  effect  on  college 
and  university  destinies.  Hence  it  is  alumni  and  alumnae,  more  than  any 
other  group,  who  will  determine  whether  the  financial  health  of  U.S. 
higher  education  will  be  good  or  bad  in  years  to  come. 

What  will  the  verdict  be?  No  reader  can  escape  the  responsibility  of 
rendering  it.

The  Rev.  Dr.  William  M.  Reab- 
ick  MI  '94,  Sem.  '97,  he  '19  of  Car- 
lisle, Pa.  is  observing  several  anni- 
versaries this  year,  one  of  which 
marks  a  turning  point  in  S.  U.'s 
historv. 


One  of  the  LJniversity's  oldest 
graduates  and,  in  fact,  a  member 
of  the  first  S.  U.  football  team,  Dr. 
Rearick  celebrated  his  93rd  birth- 
day December  25,  1963.  In  June 
he  will  observe  the  70th  year  since 
his  graduation  from  Missionary  Institute,  forerunner  of  Susquehanna  Uni- 
versity. Although  there  are  MI  grads  living  from  classes  before  his,  he  is 
the  only  living  graduate  in  the  Class  of  1894— the  last  and  largest  class  of 
Missionary  Institute.  (S.  U.  archives  turned  up  this  photo  taken  at  the  time 
of  his  graduation.) 

A  veteran  Pennsylvania  minister,  he  is  past  president  of  the  former 
Synod  of  Central  Pennsylvania  and  of  the  Susquehanna  Synod.  He  held 
tliree  pastorates  in  Pennsylvania,  beginning  with  the  Buffalo  charge  at 
West  Milton,  1897-1905;  Bellefonte,  1905-1906;  and  Mifflinburg  First  Luth- 
eran Church,  1906-1945.  He  was  honored  in  1956  for  50  years  of  service 
in  the  ministry  at  a  special  service  of  the  Mifflinburg  Church;  the  late  Dr. 
G.  Morris  Smith,  then  S.  U.  president,  gave  the  sermon. 

The  only  emeritus  member  of  S.  U.'s  Board  of  Directors,  Dr.  Rearick 
served  the  Board  from  1904  to  1959  and  was  president  from  1929  until 
1951.  His  alma  mater  awarded  him  an  M.  A.  degree  in  1907  and  a  D.  D. 
degree  in  1919.

College  at  its  annual  awards  banquet 
January  21  at  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Hotel 
in  New  York  City.  In  his  acceptance 
speech  he  pointed  out  that  automation 
is  only  one  of  the  factors  causing  job 
employment.  Much  more  basic  are  the 
gradual  replacement  of  older  industries 
by  new  ones  and  die  subsequent  failure 
to  re-train  workers  for  new  positions.

It's  Buss  Carr  '52 


Buss    Carr    '52 


Eyek  since  the  alumni  relations  directorship  was 
vacated  at  Susquehanna  last  October,  people  have  been 
wondering  and  asking  who  would  take  over  the  post. 

Meet  him.  It's  Charles  H.  "Buss"  Carr,  who  earned 
a  music  degree  at  S.  U.  in  1952.  Joining  the  staff  at  Troy 
(Pa.)  High  School  right  after  graduation,  he  has  been  its 
football  coach  and  music  teacher  and,  for  the  past  six  years, 
guidance  counselor.  Still  active  in  music,  he  should,  as 
one  wag  put  it,  make  things  "hum  around  the  Alumni 
Office  (ouch!). 

A  native  of  Tipton,  Pa.,  Buss  is  a  graduate  of  Bellwood- 
Antis  High  School.  At  college,  he  played  varsity  football 
and  was  a  member  of  Bond  &  Key  (now  Lambda  Chi 
Alpha )  and  various  musical  organizations.  In  his  senior 
year  he  was  a  Lutheran  Brotherhood  Life  Insurance  So- 
ciety Scholar  and  was  elected  to  "Who's  Who  Among  Stu- 
dents in  American  Universities  and  Colleges. 

He  has  been  a  regional  officer  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Music  Educators  Association  and  director  of  a  community 
men's  glee  club,  and  most  recently  directed  the  choir  of 
the  Methodist  Church  in  Troy.  In  addition,  he  is  a  PIAA 
football  official  and  a  member  of  the  American  Personnel 
and  Guidance  Association.  He  holds  a  master  of  education 
degree  from  Penn  State  and  has  done  additional  graduate 
work  at  Cornell.  Buss  also  has  served  two  years  with  Spe- 
cial Services  in  the  U.S.  Army. 

He  is  married  to  a  classmate,  the  former  Voylet  Dietz 
'52  of  Wrightsville,  Pa.,  also  a  music  graduate.  Their  little 
Crusaders  are  Julie  5  and  Bon  3. 

Buss  arrives  on  July  1— before  you  receive  this  Alum- 
nus. We  warmly  welcome  him  and  his  family.  We  know 
his  presence,  his  talents,  and  his  love  for  Susquehanna  will 
be  significant  contributions  to  university  life  and  alumni 
participation  in  it.  We  call  upon  all  Susquehannans  to  give 
him  their  very  best  support. 

And  we  express  in  large  capital  letters  our  SINCEBE 
THANKS  to  PEG  EBNST  i  Mrs.  Donald  H.),  secretary  in 
the  Alumni  Office,  for  keeping  things  going  so  wonderfully 
and  so  well  during  the  absence  of  a  director. 

Have  a  pleasant  summer,  everyone.  God  willing,  we'll 
be  with  you  in  the  fall.

The  Marrow 
Of  Knowledge 


by  RICHARD  W.   REEVES 


University    Library    and    Landes    Gate- 
way    greet    visitors    to     Susquehanna. 


Throughout  history,  the  marrow  of  a  student's 
knowledge  has  been  fed  and  developed  through  his 
study  of  a  collection  of  books.  For  all  Susquehannans, 
such  has  been  the  nourishment  offered  by  the  Univer- 
sity Library.  Now  in  a  period  of  rapid  growth,  the 
Library  is  expanding  to  serve  an  increased  enrollment 
and  to  meet  long-range  objectives. 

When  the  University  Library  was  constructed  in 
1928,  the  book  collection  numbered  8,000.  By  1957 
the  collection  had  risen  to  33,000  volumes,  and  it  was 
necessary  to  construct  an  addition  to  the  south  end  of 
the  Library,  doubling  the  floor  space.  Now  once  again, 
the  Library  faces  needs  caused  by  a  rising  enrollment 
and  a  steadily  increasing  number  of  accessions. 

The  administration  has  recognized  the  needs  of  the 
Library  and  has  been  attempting  to  meet  them  by  add- 
ing to  the  staff,  improving  the  facilities  and  increasing 
the  annual  budget.     Physical  expansion,  too,  is  plan- 


ned for  the  future  with  the  addition  of  a  three-story 
wing. 

"The  Library  now  has  a  circulating  collection  of 
more  than  52,000  volumes,"  reports  Alfred  J.  Krahmer, 
University  librarian,  "and  has  recently  raised  its  rate 
of  accessions  to  4,000  volumes  annually.  An  objective 
of  70,000  volumes  has  been  set  to  follow  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  American  Library  Association  for  an 
enrollment  of  1,000  students." 

(Krahmer  is  particularly  well-suited  to  be  librar- 
ian for  a  church-related  college,  since  he  has  had  a 
varied  experience  in  educational  and  religious  work. 
An  ordained  Lutheran  pastor,  he  served  in  two  parish- 
es and  worked  in  college  and  church  public  relations 
before  becoming  a  professional  librarian). 

Through  a  grant  of  $10,000  from  the  Kellogg 
Foundation  Susquehanna  has  been  able  to  fill  many 
gaps  in  the  Library's  collection.  In  addition,  there  have

doubled   by   1957   Library  addition. 


Alfred      J.       Krahmer, 
librarian    since     1960. 


been  gifts  of  $8,000  from  the  Class  of  1964.  gifts  of  more 
than  $500  from  the  Japan  Society,  books  from  the  Jew- 
ish Chatauqua  Society,  as  well  as  annual  donations  of 
money,  books  or  periodicals  from  alumni. 

In  the  past  five  years  the  college  administration 
lias  increased  the  library  staff  from  three  professionals 
and  two  part-time  clerks  to  four  professionals  and  three 
full-time  clerks.  As  a  result,  the  Library  has  been  able 
to  raise  its  hours  of  service  to  69  per  week,  including 
Saturday  and  Sunday  afternoons.  A  50  per  cent  in- 
crease has  been  made  in  seating  capacity— to  accom- 
modate 250  students.  This  is  still  not  considered  ade- 
quate for  an  enrollment  of  1,000  students. 

The  college  has  more  than  doubled  the  Library's 
book  budget,  from  $10,775  in  1959-60  to  $23,000  in 
1963-64.  The  budget  had  been  raised  two  to  three 
thousand  dollars  each  year  until  the  past  year  when  it 
was  raised   nearly  $6,000  from   the    1962-63   figure   of 


$17,575.     In  1964-65  the  budget  will  be  $26,000. 

Although  the  figures  about  the  Library's  collection 
show  growth  in  the  past  five  years,  a  faster  rate  of 
growth  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that  each  year  more 
titles  are  being  catalogued.  For  example,  during  1959- 
60  the  Library  catalogued  1,S9S  titles;  this  year,  3,000 
titles,  representing  4,000  volumes. 

To  make  room  for  the  Library's  expanding  book 
collection,  the  college  added  new  book  stacks  on  the 
mezzanine  floor.  Equipment  for  listening  to  the  record 
collection  is  kept  in  a  room  on  the  mezzanine.  The 
Library's  holdings  of  records  in  music,  literature  and 
foreign  languages  have  increased  from  281  to  338  rec- 
ords. Other  facilities  on  the  mezzanine  are  a  closed 
study  room,  a  typing  room  for  student  use,  movable 
carrells  and  a  lounge. 

Alumni  may  remember  the  classroom  on  the  main

Jane  Schnure  '47,  assistant  librarian  and  archivist, 
oversees  valuable  holdings  —  like  this  book  published 
in  Germany  in  1780  by  permission  of  the  Holy  Roman 
Emperor,  containing  maps  of  the  Old  and  New  Worlds. 


hand-colored  maps  published  in  Germany  around  1780, 
Charles  Burney's  "History  of  Music"  (1789),  Cotton 
Mather's  "Ecclesiastical  History  of  England"  (1820) 
and  "Life  and  Speeches  of  Henry  Clay"  (1843). 

Along  with  the  Library's  increase  in  its  book  collec- 
tion, there  has  been  an  increase  in  the  periodical  sub- 
scription list— from  206  to  276.  More  will  be  added  in 
the  fall  of  1964. 

The  Library  staff  has  had  to  meet  the  problem  of 
space  for  periodicals  and  has  solved  the  problem  par- 
tially by  increasing  microfilm  holdings.  Besides  The 
New  York  Times,  which  now  goes  back  to  1935,  the  Li- 
brary has  five  other  journals  wholly  or  partially  on  mi- 
crofilm. Equipment  for  reading  the  microfilm  rolls  is 
kept  in  the  Downstairs  Beading  Boom.  Here  also  is 
the  Visible  Listing  Becord  which  indicates  what  back 
issues  of  periodicals  the  Library  holds.  All  the  indexes 
and  abstracts  of  periodicals  are  filed  here.  Current  is- 
sues of  periodicals  and  newspapers  are  kept  in  the 
Upstairs  Periodicals  Boom  for  short  periods  of  time 
before  being  moved  downstairs.  The  Library  also 
houses  downstairs  the  collection  of  the  Snyder  County 
Historical  Society. 

While  the  Library  has  been  growing  in  the  num- 
ber of  volumes,  staff  and  hours  of  service,  the  use  of  the 
Library  has  also  increased.  Figures  for  1959-60  show 
requests  for  9,555  books  from  the  circulating  collection, 


reference  collection.  Also,  shelves  were  erected  in  the 
basement  of  Hassinger  Hall  for  valuable  old  books 
which  are  not  often  in  demand.  Many  of  these  had 
been  in  the  closed  stacks  on  the  Library's  lower  floor 
where  back  issues  of  periodicals  have  been  shelved, 
but  the  increasing  number  of  periodicals  forced  them 
out. 

Although  the  Library  contains  the  Wilt  bequest 
of  books  of  interest  mainly  to  music  students,  an  addi- 
tional collection  of  books  to  be  used  exclusively  by 
music  students  is  kept  in  Heilman  Hall,  headquarters 
of  the  Music  Division. 

A  comparatively  new  part  of  the  Library  is  the 
Archives  in  a  room  off  the  main  floor.  Here  files  are 
kept  of  valuable  correspondence,  photographs,  pro- 
grams and  University  publications.  Alumni  and  friends 
have  helped  the  archivist  to  obtain  back  issues  of  Uni- 
versity publications  and  material  relating  to  the  col- 
lege's history.  Under  the  archivist's  care  are  such 
treasures  as  a   1583  Bible,   a  geography  volume   with 


From  time  to  time  these  pages  carry  notice  of 
various  items  which  are  needed  by  the  Library  Archives 
to  complete  series  of  University  publications  and  to  in- 
crease the  holdings  of  historical  material  and  Susque- 
hanna memorabilia.  The  hope  is  that  if  you  have  any 
such  material  which  you  no  longer  need,  you  might  see 
fit  to  forward  it  to  the  Archives  for  permanent  safe- 
keeping. Thanks  to  the  thoughtfulness  and  generosity 
of  alumni  and  other  friends,  the  collection  has  been 
increased  substantially  by  this   means. 

Right  now,  the  call  is  out  for  S.  U.  Band  Concert 
programs.  Lacking  are  the  printed  programs  for  most 
concerts  held  before  1932  and,  also,  for  concerts  held 
in  1934, 1937,  1943-48,  and  1959.  Can  you  help?  If  so 
please  send  any  available  copies  to  Miss  Jane  Schnure 
'47,  assistant  librarian.

The  periodical  room  offers  a  pleasant-  corner  for  last- 
minute  cramming  or  for  browsing  in  some  of  the  near- 
ly 300  periodicals  which  arrive  regularly  from  many 
countries  in  the  world  and  deal  with  countless  subjects. 


9,139  books  placed  on  reserve  and  2,450  back  issues  of 
periodicals.  Now  five  years  later,  with  enrollment  near- 
ly doubled,  usage  of  the  Library  has  nearly  doubled— 
to  requests  for  16,968  regular  books,  14,871  reserve 
books  and  5,489  periodicals. 

Obviously,  students  realize  the  vital  contribution 
which  the  Library  makes  to  their  education  because 
they  continually  donate  gifts  which  help  the  Library 
increase  its  facilities  and  holdings. 

According  to  Krahmer,  the  Class  of  1964  was  not 
the  first  senior  class  to  think  of  the  Library  in  its  fare- 
well gifts.  The  classes  of  1954,  1955  and  1956  gave 
funds  which  made  it  possible  to  purchase  The  New 
York  Times  in  microfilm  for  the  years  1941  through 
1949. 

'The  gift  of  the  Class  of  1964,"  he  said,  "will  help 
the  University  Library  to  push  on   toward  its  goal  of 


70,000  volumes  and  to  provide  materials  for  new  cours- 
es and  seminars  which  are  being  added  to  the  curricu- 
lum." 

Even  after  graduation,  Susquehannans  do  not  for- 
get the  Library,  since  they  continue  to  give  money  for 
purchasing  books  or  periodicals.  Others  have  made 
contributions  from  their  personal  libraries. 

Among  such  alumni  is  Mrs.  Gwendolyn  Schlegel 
Cramer  '36.  She  sends  a  check  for  the  purchase  of 
books  each  year  to  Dr.  William  A.  Russ  Jr.,  professor 
of  history,  who  then  suggests  to  the  librarian  the  titles 
to  be  ordered. 

George  A.  Fisher  he  '22,  a  resident  of  Selinsgrove, 
has  been  making  valuable  contributions  to  the  Library 
annually.  He  donates  copies  of  important  scientific 
journals  and  of  Fortune  magazine.  Since  many  of  these 
are  periodicals  which  the  Library  must  have,  his  gifts 
save  the  college  subscription  money  every  year. 

Authors  among  alumni  have  also  remembered  to 
send  copies  of  their  works.  In  the  past  few  years,  the 
Library  has  received  "The  Moffat  Road,"  a  new  book 
on  a  western  railroad,  written  in  1962  by  Edward  T. 
Bollinger  '30.  Another  gift  was  "DePauw  Through  the 
Years,"  a  history  of  De  Pauw  University  published  by 
Dr.  George  Bom  Manhart  TO  in  1962.  During  the  past 
year  the  Library  has  also  catalogued  many  scientific 
pamphlets  received  from  Dr.  Harold  N.  Moldenke  '29. 

One  of  the  finest  gifts  came  from  Dr.  Harry  Knorr 
'17,  recently  retired  as  physicist  for  the  Charles  F. 
Kettering  Foundation.  He  gave  the  Library  his  own 
bound  copies  of  such  journals  as  American  Journal  of 
Physics,  American  Physical  Society  Bulletin,  American 
Scientist,  Electronics,  Journal  of  Applied  Physics,  Jour- 
nal of  Chemical  Physics,  Nucleonics,  Optical  Society 
of  America  Journal,  Physical  Review,  Physical  Review 
Letters,  Physics  Today,  Review  of  Scientific  Instru- 
ments, Reviews  of  Modern  Physics,  and  Science.  Most 
of  the  journals  were  new  to  the  Library's  holdings  and 
are  valued  at  $500,  at  least. 

"Alumni  gifts  to  the  Library  are  welcome,"  Krahmer 
said,  but  he  emphasized  that  "it  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  quality  must  take  precedence  over  quantity.  In 
other  words,  don't  empty  your  book-shelves  and  give 
the  volumes  to  the  Library  without  consulting  the  li- 
brarian. All  the  gifts  listed  previously  are  thoughtful 
ones  and  were  aimed  at  meeting  specific  needs. 

"Alumni  might  examine  their  book-shelves  in  an- 
other way,  however.  Each  year  a  number  of  old  grads 
leave  their  alma  mater  without  bringing  back  the  books 
which  they  borrowed  but  did  not  charge  out.  Inven- 
tories in  the  past  two  years  indicate  a  considerable  loss 
from  the  shelves.  If  you  have  such  volumes  on  your 
book-shelves,  send  them  along.     These  we  need." 


JULY    1964 


THIS  YEAR  IN  ADMISSIONS 


Susquehanna  University  is  cur- 
rently receiving  more  than  three 
times  the  number  of  applicants  it 
can  accept— ample  indication  in- 
deed of  the  high  regard  in  which 
the  institution  is  held. 

The  Admissions  Office  reports 
that  1278  applications  were  submit- 
ted as  of  June  1  for  375  places 
available  to  new  students.  These 
applications  represent  an  increase 
of  32  percent  over  those  received 
up  to  the  same  date  in  1963. 

Next  fall  Susquehanna's  total  en- 
rollment will  be  somewhere  be- 
tween 1050  and  1075.  When  the 
new  mens  dormitory  is  completed 
in  September  1965,  it  is  expected 
that  enrollment  will  reach  1100.  For 
the  immediate  future,  the  Univer- 
sity expects  to  level  off  at  that  fig- 
ure. 

"We  have  had  many  more  women 
students  applying  for  September 
1964  than  we  can  accommodate 
and  had  to  stop  taking  applications 
by  February  1,  1964,"  reported  Dan 
MacCuish,  director  of  admissions. 
"Since  housing  for  men  is  more 
flexible,  however,  we  can  still  ac- 
cept a  few  more  men.  Latecom- 
ers will  be  required  to  live  in  ap- 
proved rooming-houses  in  the  com- 
munity." 

He  advised  that  any  alumnus 
who  might  be  counseling  with  stu- 
dents should  have  a  catalog.  If  he 
will  drop  a  note  to  the  Admissions 
Office,  he  may  have  a  copy,  as 
long  as  the  supply  lasts. 

"Every  year  alumni  have  sent  us 
many  students— including  some  of 
our  best  students,  in  fact.  Natur- 
ally we  want  to  encourage  this 
help,  but  before  getting  a  student 
excited  about  Susquehanna,  an  al- 
umnus should  check  with  the  stu- 
dent's high  school.  He  should  find 
out  a  little  about  the  student's  rec- 
ord and  test  scores  and  learn  how 


Dan  MacCuish  traveled  some 
20,000  miles  recruiting  Sus- 
quehanna    students     last     year. 


the  counselor  feels  about  this  par- 
ticular student  considering  a  col- 
lege such  as  Susquehanna. 

"Applicants  should  have  scores 
in  the  500s  in  both  the  verbal  and 
mathematical  sections  of  the  Col- 
lege Board  tests.  With  regard  to 
rank  in  class,  we  hope  that  students 
are  in  the  top  quarter  or  very  close 
to  it." 

The  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test 
(College  Boards,  morning  tests) 
scores  of  students  accepted  by  Sus- 
quehanna have  risen  nearly  12  per- 
cent in  a  five-year  period.  Admis- 
sions Office  figures  show  that  stu- 
dents entering  in  1960  had  aver- 
aged 474  in  the  verbal  and  500  in 
the  mathematics  sections  of  the 
SAT,  whereas  those  accepted  thus 
far  for  September  1964  indicate 
averages  of  529  verbal  and  559 
math.  Women  have  consistently 
run  about  35  points  better  than  men 
in  the  verbal  scores,  while  men 
maintain  a  slight  edge  in  the  math. 

MacCuish  pointed  out  that  high 
schools  today  are  encouraging 
students  to  give  serious  considera- 
tion   to    college    before    entering 


their  senior  year.  This  means  that 
students  should  visit  Susquehanna, 
study  the  catalog  and,  in  many 
cases,  submit  their  applications  by 
the  end  of  their  junior  year. 

"Susquehanna,  like  many  other 
colleges,  has  an  Early  Decision  ar- 
rangement, whereby  a  student  will 
be  offered  admission  by  the  end  of 
the  junior  year  if  the  high  school 
record  is  strong  and  the  College 
Board  scores  are  sufficiently  high." 

MacCuish  gave  as  an  illustra- 
tion the  application  of  Carol  Goeh- 
ry,  niece  of  Raymond  G.  '47  and 
Dorothy  Dellecker  Hochstuhl  '43 
of  Bloomfield,  N.  J.  Through  the 
interest  of  Dr.  Harry  M.  Rice  '26. 
he  '48,  principal  of  Bloomfield  (X. 
J. )  High  School,  she  submitted  her 
application  March  1,  1964  for  ad- 
mission in  September  1965. 

A  student  at  Bloomfield  High 
School,  she  has  a  straight-A  average 
and  scored  about  550  in  the  verbal 
and  above  650  in  the  mathematical 
sections  of  the  Scholastic  Aptitude 
Test. 

"All  the  academic  evidence  is 
now  clear,"  MacCuish  said,  "and 
there  is  no  reason  why  in  such  cas- 
es our  Admissions  Committee  can- 
not make  its  decision  before  the 
student  finishes  the  junior  year." 

A  more  average  student  should 
apply  not  later  than  January  1  of 
the  senior  year.  For  the  class  en- 
tering in  1965,  the  Admissions 
Committee  has  decided  to  con- 
tinue the  plan  of  processing  appli- 
cations as  soon  as  they  are  received. 
The  obviously  qualified  student 
will  be  granted  admission  immed- 
iately, and  the  obviously  unquali- 
fied student  will  be  notified  immed- 
iately so  that  he  can  apply  to  other 
colleges.  Those  whose  records  are 
close  to  the  average  will  be  noti- 
fied of  the  Committee's  decision 
sometime   after   Februarv  1,    1965.

SPORTS 


by    RON    BERKHEIMER 


The  university's  golf  and  track  teams  grabbed 
most  of  the  headlines  during  the  spring  sports  season. 
Coach  John  Barr's  golfers  won  8  matches,  lost  only 
1  and  placed  third  among  24  teams  competing  in  the 
1964  Middle  Atlantic  Conference  Golf  Championships. 
The  track  squad,  coached  by  Bob  Windish,  lost  its  first 
two  meets  and  then  won  its  remaining  five  to  compile 
Susquehanna's  best  track  record  since  the  sport  was 
reorganized  at  the  university  in  1960. 

The  baseball  and  tennis  squads  were  somewhat 
less  successful,  finishing  their  seasons  with  records  of 
11-13  and  5-8,  respectively.  Coach  Jim  Garrett's  base- 
ballers  got  off  to  a  good  start  and  even  had  ambitions 
of  winning  the  MAC's  Northern  Division  championship, 
but  then  slumped  badly  in  the  final  two  weeks  of  the 
season  and  lost  their  last  eight  games.  The  tennis 
team,  on  the  other  hand,  suffered  through  seven  straight 
losses  and  then  bounced  hack  to  win  five  in  a  row 
before  losing  its  final  match,  5-4  to  Lycoming. 

Bolstered  by  three  fine  freshman  golfers,  the  S.  U. 
linksmen  showed  a  complete  reversal  of  form  from 
their  disastrous  1963  season,  when  they  managed  only 
one  victory  compared  to  11  defeats.  One  of  the  fresh- 
men, Doug  MacCuish,  took  over  the  squad's  No.  1  po- 
sition and  became  its  most  consistent  winner.  At  the 
season's  end,  his  teammates  elected  him  their  1965 
captain.  (MacCuish  is  the  son  of  Susquehanna's  di- 
rector of  admissions  Dan  MacCuish.) 

Garner  Traher  Jr.  and  Dave  Jolinson  are  the  other 
two  freshmen  who  won  places  on  the  team,  along  with 
senior  Art  Brosius,  juniors  Don  Smith  and  Dennis 
Willman,  and  sophomore  Ken  Bapp.  Brosius  is  the  only 
player  lost  through  graduation. 

Susquehanna  also  served  as  host  team  for  the  an- 
nual Middle  Atlantic  Conference  Golf  Tournament  and 
finished  a  highly  respectable  third  among  the  24  com- 
peting teams.  St.  Joseph's  College  of  Philadelphia  won 
the  team  championship,  with  Lehigh  Universitv  plac- 
ing second.  Brosius  led  Susquehanna's  four-player 
tournament  squad  with  a  36-hole  score  of  159. 

The  performances  of  freshmen  and  other  newcom- 
ers also  were  big  factors  in  the  track  team's  winning 
record.  Freshmen  Bill  Sterling  and  Nick  Dunn,  for 
example,  scored  33  and  31  points,  respectively,  in  the 
Crusaders'  seven  meets.  Sterling  set  a  new  university 
record  in  the  pole  vault  and  Dunn  was  a  consistent 


Third  place  I  among  24  schools)  in  the  MAC  Golf  Tournament 
was  wrested  for  S.  U.  by:  W.  Garner  Traher  Jr.,  Selinsgrove; 
Doug  MacCuish,  Selinsgrove;  Coach  John  Barr;  Captain  Art 
Brosius,   Avondale,    Pa.;    Don   Smith,    DuBois,    Pa. 


scorer  in  the  broad  jump  and  high  jump.  Sophomores 
Larry  Giesmann  and  Mike  McCahan  and  junior  Larry 
Galley  were  other  valuable  additions  to  the  roster. 
Giesmann  tallied  46  points  in  the  broad  jump  and 
middle  distance  events,  McCahan  picked  up  36  in  the 
sprints  and  440,  Galley  added  24li  in  the  hurdles. 

For  the  second  straight  season,  the  team's  top 
point  producer  was  sprinter  Larry  Erdman,  with  65 
points.  Pete  Freimanis,  high  jumper  and  javelin 
thrower,  was  second  to  Erdman  with  56  points.  A  total 
of  11  new  university  records  were  set  during  the  season 
—all  by  athletes  who  will  be  returning  next  year. 

Bob  Chandler,  another  freshman,  was  an  outstand- 
ing performer  for  the  baseball  team.  He  won  the 
squad  batting  championship  with  a  .338  average  and 
fielded  brilliantly  at  shortstop.  John  Vignone,  junior 
outfielder  who  missed  the  first  eight  games  of  the  sea- 
son because  of  a  shoulder  injury,  averaged  an  even 
.300.  Vignone  also  played  varsity  football  and  basket- 
ball to  accomplish  the  increasingly  rare  feat  of  lettering 
in  three  sports  during  the  same  academic  year.  Junior 
righthander  Jim  Gibney  was  the  team's  most  effective 
pitcher.  He  won  four  games,  lost  six  and  compiled  an 
earned  run  average  of  2.07.  In  74  innings  he  shuck  out 
75  batters  and  walked  only  14. 

Senior  Walk  Woernle  and  freshman  Bill  Wrege 
paced  the  tennis  team.  In  single  matches,  Woernle  won 
8  and  lost  4  while  Wrege  was  8-3.  Lance  Larsen,  also 
a  freshman,  won  7  and  lost  4.  Woernle  played  in  the 
No.  1  position,  with  Wrege  and  Larsen  competing  in 
the  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  slots.

Luther  Clarence 
Hassinger  '96  of  Bris- 
tol, Va.,  was  honored 
May  31  with  a  doctor 
of  humane  letters  de- 
gree     conferred      by 

Emory  and  Henry  College,  Emory,  Va.     In  the 
by  E  &  H  Dean  Daniel  G.  Leidig  Jr. 

Like  his  father  Martin  Luther  Hassinger, 
Hassinger  Hall  is  named,  he  has  carried  on  the  family  tradition  of  helping 
higher  education.  Besides  joining  his  alma  mater's  Century  Club  each 
year,  he  has  given  substantially  to  Emory  and  Henry  through  financial 
gifts  and  service  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1912-1932).  Dur- 
ing a  critical  part  of  these  two  decades  he  was  chairman  of  the  Board. 

A  native  of  Pennsylvania,  Hassinger  moved  in  1905  to  Konnarock,  Va. 
where  he  pioneered  in  the  timber  industry.  Until  1929  he  headed  one  of 
the  largest  sawmill  operations  in  the  East.  He  became  one  of  the  develop- 
ers of  Great  Smoky  Mountains  National  Park  and  a  nationally  recognized 
authority  on  the  conservation  of  natural  resources.  He  is  the  oldest  living 
member  of  the  American  Forestry  Association. 

In  its  citation  Emory  and  Henry  College  referred  to  him  as  a  member 
of  "a  dwindling  company  of  men  yet  alive  who  saw  (the  College)  through 
days  of  unusual  turbulence."  He  was  praised  as  "a  man  of  massive  vision, 
bold  genius  and  unshakable  courage  ....  The  College  owes  Luther  Hass- 
inger a  debt  which  can  never  be  fully  paid."

Dr.  Claude  A.  Buss,  former  Sunbury 
resident,  has  published  his  seventh  book, 
Asia  in  the  Modern  World.  Like  his  other 
books,  it  is  based  on  first-hand  experience 
and  observation.  Dr.  Buss  returned  this 
spring  from  a  mission  for  the  Department 
of  State  to  weigh  American  policy  and 
its  success  in  India,  North  Africa  and  the 
Middle  East.  A  member  of  the  Stanford 
University  faculty,  he  has  been  on  loan 
for  a  year  to  the  National  War  College, 
Washington,  D.  C.  He  returned  to  Sun- 
bury  in  April  for  a  brief  visit  with  his 
brother  Morris  Groom.

Roger  M.  Blougli  he  '53,  chairman  of 
U.  S.  Steel  Corp.,  received  the  15th  an- 
nual William  Penn  Award  May  19  from 
the  Greater  Philadelphia  Chamber  of 
Commerce  in  recognition  of  the  "better 
relations  and  understanding  he  helped  es- 
tablish between  the  White  House  and 
the  nation's  business  economy."  In  his 
acceptance  speech,  Blough  theorized  that 
international  corporations  which  had  in- 
vested more  than  $25  billion  abroad, 
may  turn  out  to  be  the  most  effective 
means  of  bringing  nations  together  in 
peace.

the  proper  natural  development  and 
maintenance  of  current  and  future  land 
projects,  and  guide  the  Conservancy's 
education  program.  Mr.  Lewis  has  taught
