PRESIDENT JAMES G. MORGAN 1857—1957 WE LIVE IN DEEDS NOT YEARS As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mansfield, we are proud, not so much that this college is now one hundred years old, as we are of the progress made in terms of educational opportunity and service in the lives of thousands who claim Mansfield as their Alma Mater. The college had its beginning in the establishment of the Mansfield Classical Seminary, chartered January 7, 1857. Unfortunately six days after the opening of the second term, the building burned to the ground. Undaunted by this disaster, and after many disheartening delays, another building was partially completed and opened in December 1861. Due to many financial difficulties, the Seminary was ready to close its doors when on December 12, 1862, it became the State Normal School of the Fifth Senatorial District — the third oldest normal school in the Commonwealth. Mansfield as a sem- inary, normal school and college has developed through one hundred years into an outstanding state institution, authorized to grant degrees and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Hundreds of her alumni have become outstanding leaders in every field of human endeavor and are proud to claim her as their Alma Mater. We can only chart the future as we know the contributions of the past and present and what would appear to be the trends and objectives of the future. As we stand on the threshold of another hundred years, we are proud, not so much that the college is one hundred years old or as we see the progress made in rapidly growing enrollments, faculty and facilities, but that she has adhered to the primary purpose of preparing good teachers for the public schools of the Commonwealth and is gearing that program of teacher education to the rapidly changing times in contemporary history and enlarging her vision as to needs and services. The challenge of the future to the Mansfield State Teachers College was never as great as it is now. We believe in that future and that this college will continue to meet the educational needs of thousands of students in the spirit of the college motto: Character as the essential; scholarship as the enrich- ment; and service as the end of all worthy endeavor. 28 (Ja fC z yu y)io
