LEIG-.A.CY' FOR, EDUCATION The Charles Voorhis School for Boys, which later became the Southern California Branch of California State Polytechnic College was opened in 1929. It was heralded as a main step in developing San Dimas into a well rounded community. The school was originally built not as an institution but as a home for boys. Mr. Charles Voorhis and his son Gerry furnished their students room and board plus all the little things until they completed high school. The cost to the Voorhis, was a thousand dollars a year per boy for all expenses. The Voorhis' also absorbed the total construction cost of the Voorhis Campus in 1929. The school was donated to the state, as the Southern California branch of Cal Poly S.L.O. in 1939. The gift of the school by Voorhis was an act to help preserve the school. Today the Voorhis campus is still used as an educational and convention center. The school will continue in this capacity until the completion of Kellogg West. The future holds for the Voorhis Campus a new dimension in teaching: the experimental college. The college offers courses that interest students. The classes are offered on a non-credit basis. The present use of it will insure that it meets the desire of Charles Voorhis in serving as a home and educational center for those who attend. .-r f.
