IIIOXYNSIQND Sometimes. I believe. students. and faculty members too. see the college program going on and declare to themselves and to others, Nothing ever happens hereg nothing ever changes. Xvhy don't we do something new and ditterent7 l'erspective is needed to correct this impression, for the impression is anything but a valid one. I have bee11 here as the head of our program since September. 1929, and in that period have witnessed many, many changes. Xlihether they are all for the better. would be pretty dithcult to say. hut of some changes. we ca11 certainly comment with a lot of pardonable pride. I aiu sure none of you who read this would like 111C to take the pains to itemixe all the changes that Iiave come about in the intervening years si11ce 1929. l shall select a few of those most signiticant and jot IIICIII down. Ifirst. there isa very subtle change which many know nothing of. so far as the college itself is concerned. Since ltjfltj, we weathered a major depression, that SCl1t our budget from State sources from a high of approx- nnately S2gf5i,ooo.t,t: a year to a low of SilO0.000.00 less! In a small college such as this. that drop is significant! Xvhen some of you get restive over the fact that we have no new building, no adequate campus, you should recall that there were times when we could count ourselves fortunate in having any budget at all! In 1929. there was no tuition. No fees were chargedg the text hooks were furnished by the State and prac- tically all supplies as well. 'I'l1e only fee we collected then was a locker deposit of hfty cents. ln ltjflb. the curricula were all two years in length and we graduated a class in lanuary and in lune of each year. until unc. it 2 . 'I'he last two-year class Graduated . lv-1 . -7 in january. ltfgl. During H1211 gf . there were enrolled approximately 1,21 it students, though some graduated and left in january. XX ho stops to tlnnk that in IQZQ and in fact until several years later there was never a time when the whole student body was in school together? Now. in the tirst and third quarter of each year, all students .nc oncampns. il his change has resulted in a nnich hcttci opportunity for a well rounded program of student .u tiv ities. I cn vcaus ago. all students were assigned to a section on touting .is juniors ttherc were no I reslnnen f'rifl14rfi:' thenl and usually continued to attend all classes throughout their two years with that section. As a result, few students ever lJCCLlIllC acquainted with any other students except those in their section. I11 IQZQ-QO, the first Varsity Basketball team was organized. Soon after, a Student Organization Constitution was adopted, providing for class Zlllfl club representation O11 a student council. 'I'l1is was later revised i11 IQQ6-'57 to the present form of organization. Club and class dues were first budgeted and collected under the organiza- tion's auspices in IQQI. I11 1929, the only records kept of the students were the cumulative academic card 2ll'lCl a summary record of student teaching. Personnel tile folders and other rec- ords were inaugurated i11 IQQO-QI. In 1929 there were no student counselors and no student deans. I11 1929, a physician made one cursory health examination upo11 the student's entrance, and no health follow-up was given. 'I'he Fine Arts Curriculum was started i11 IQSZ. S1111n11er sessions were inaugurated 011 our own campus in IQQC. 'I'l1c school was authorized to grant the B2lCllClOT,S degree. luly 14, 19:,4. It was 11ot until April, 1937. that the name of the institution was changed to the New lersey State rlcachcrs College at Newark. In 1928, there was a small extension program, C011- ducted in off-campus centers. Now nearly 1,050 stu- dents enroll in afternoon, evening a11d Saturday classes. Practically all of these part-ti111e students are teachers in service who are working toward the Bachelor's degree. Our program of student personnel services. estab- lished in IQQO, is now internationally recognized as a pioneer program in this work. 'l'hc lengthening of the curricula has allowed our students the opportunity to receive approximately three times as much general cultural and background work as when the two-year program was operated. 'l'l1ese increases have been in the field of Iinglish, literature. history, science. inathematics, the arts, music. sociology, IlllllllIllllllllltlllltllllIIIltIIltIIIIIIIllllllIIIIllIIIllIItlIIItIIIIIIlltIlllIIIIIIIllIIllIIllIIllIIIIIIIlllltlllllllllllllllllllll 1913-38

1913-38 lllllIlllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Ilistorically interesting is the site on which the Col- lege now stands. lt is built on the foundations of the old Philip Kearny estate. one wall of which can still be sccn under the north walk of the building. On this bit of historic structure the Nu l.ambda Kappa Literary So- ciety placed a commemorative plaque in logo. Of historic interest in another way was the particif pation of the student body in XYorld XX'ar activities. Dr. XV. Spader XVillis, the Hrst principal of the State Normal School, points with enviable pride to the whole! hearted enthusiasm of the faculty and student body of those frenzied days of 'seventeen and 'eighteen. for their contributions of knitting. adopting war orphans, buying Liberty Bonds and becoming Farmcrettes. Following the XVar. members of the faculty under the leadership of Miss Beulah llurley aided materially in the recon- struction of the war-torn areas of Belgium and France. For this assistance, the Board of Directors of the Library of Louvain in Belgium requested that our school Hag be sent to them to be hung in the library together with the flags of other colleges and universities in America which had done outstanding work. Today. in the col- lection known as The Francklyn Paris Collection of University Flags, it hangs in the reading room of that University on the other side of the Atlantic. In athletics the College has always been more interf ested in the physical development of all the students rather than the exploitation of individuals. This policy has not. however. prevented meritorious work by the individual. In nineteen hundred tweutyvtwo, Camille Sabie scored thirteen of the thirty-three points captured by the American team in the first international compe- tition for women in which the United States competed. IIer record for the hundred yard high hurdle remains unbroken to the present day. In pursuance of the progressive policy of the College an experimental kindergarten was formed in nineteen hundred twenty-two under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Bowman, who is at present the head of the Kindergarten-Primary curricula. An integral part of the life of any college is the pub- lieations through which it communicates with the alumni. the patrons and the friends of the institution. Early in the history of the Normal School the students published a magazine which they humorously called. Pedageese. This hrst student effort gave way in nine- teen hundred twenty-four to the school annual chris- tened the Norm and to a school newspaper known as the Reflector XVith the change in the name of the school from State Normal School to State Teachers College, the Norm ceased and this volume, the anni- l'1l 1 rltllll XY. SITXDIZR XYILLIS Principal lfjlg-IQIS versary year book, commemorates the founding of lXIemorabilia l'l'hings remarkable and worthy of re membrance or record l. The student publications in- clude The Freslunan llandbookf' known familiarly as the Freshman Bible. The administration and faculty publish The Chronicle. a booklet for patrons: The Bulletin, an administrative bulletin for faculty: and catalogues for the residence and extension divisions of the College. The Library Council in nineteen hundred thirty-six added to this group of publications by launch- ing Information. a mimeographed weekly for the dis- semination of knowledge concerning library facilities and aids. lnnumerablc other special bulletins on the professional services offered by the College are edited and distributed to infservice teachers. supervisors and superintendents from time to time. XVhat the College has done in placement deserves mention in this history. for its record is commendable. It has prepared for state service nineteen per cent of the public school teachers in New Iersey. Its animal place ment approximates two hundred fifty. with an almost one hundred per cent mark from the fine arts and in- dustrial arts curricula. l or the exceptional personnel services the College renders, for the integrated program it conducts. for the thoughtful. forwardflooking administration. faculty and student body it boasts- .-Xlma Mater. llail! lllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllIlllIlllllllllllIIIIlllllllllIIIllIllIIIlllIIllIIIllIlllIIIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIllllllllIIIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllIIllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIII i o o Silver nniversar
