Dedication From the first School Ma ' am in 1910 to the 1969 Bluestone, it was a tradition to dedicate the yearbook to a person who has done an outstanding job serving our school. In recognition of JMU ' s 75th anniversary, the Bluestone would like to revive this tradition by dedicating our diamond edition to President Ronald E. Carrier, who since his arrival in 1970. has had perhaps more impact on this institution than any president before him. As the steering instrument. Carrier has more than doubled JMU ' s enrollment, faculty, bachelor degree programs and departments. Under his term we have seen our athletic program grow from little more than men ' s club sports and women ' s in-state competition to scholarship programs and nationally ranked teams. Carrier is responsible for more than S50 million in construction including 20 buildings and Newman Lake. Carrier ' s accomplishment of greatest impact, so far is the instigation of our school name change from Madison College to James Madison University. On March 2, 1974 Carrier witnessed the signing of our name change into law by Governor Mills Godwin. Regardless of his administrative responsibilities and accomplishments. Carrier has always had his hand on the pulse of the student body whic h has earned him the affectionate title, ' Uncle Ron. Dr. Carrier is not just a name sitting in Wilson Hall: he is a familiar face on campus, and at athletic events — always friendly, always encouraging. Dr. Carrier, for all students who have attended this institution under your term, we would like to say, Thank you. Uncle Ron, this one ' s for you! Dedication

' ' Man is no longer the sole bread-winner, nor is woman any longer the non-productive, petted and idealized idol of chivalry. Necessity has made her a co-worker with man, if not his competitor. Chivalry demands for her equal preparation to the struggles; injustice alone consents for less. Excerpt from a report given to the Virginia General Assembly by a committee to study the establishment of another Normal School in Virginia. 1903. Highlighted by world and local events the 75-year history of our school is a fascinating account. Producing graduates through two world wars, the Great Depression, Vietnam, and Space Age technology, this institution has continued to thrive emerging as one of the leading undergraduate schools in the nation. In H.N.S. ' s first session, 1909-1910, tuition was free for all students who had already taught in public schools and for all others it was $2.00 a quarter or $6.00 a year; add that to $14.00 a month for room and board and you ' re talking about a total of $1 18.00 for a year of college education — a far cry from the $3672.00 in-state students paid for the 1982-83 session.
