Many went on to lives of great contri- bution and significance like Mary Hunter Austin, who fol- lowed them in her own com- mencement eighteen years later. You are a special class, gradu- ating in a special year, from a very special college. We wish you a very special and signifi- cant life. 1987-88 was an eventful 150th Anniversary Year, begin- ning with a special Homecom- ing which featured an unprec- edented return of all three “Hudson Sisters”, a game fea- turing our Prairie Conference Soccer Champions, and a memorable Homecoming Pa- rade through Carlinville which was festooned - all year - with “old rose” Blackburn banners. Second Semester brought Gwendolyn Brooks as our Founder Day Speaker and a vis- it of a number of black alumni who presented the College with a new scholarship in memory of alumnus Dr. James Clark, M.D. March brought the first ever international concert tour to Germany and Austria by the Blackburn Choir and the Unit- ed States Navy Band to Spring- field to honor the Sesquicen- tennial Year. In April we com- memorated the 75th year of the Work Program with a convoca- tion and symposium of promi- nent resource people, including Dr. John R. Coleman, author of Blue Collar Journal. On that occasion we dedicated both the halls of Work Plaques in Lud- lum Hall honoring former Work Managers and also a new Blackburn Athletics “Wall of Fame” in Woodward Center. Some 30 former Work Manag- ers returned to the campus for Dr. William F. Denman, President this event. A week later, Blackburn hosted a meeting of the four other American Work Colleges - Alice Lloyd, Berea, School of the Ozarks and Warren Wilson - under a Ford Foundation sponsored conference on identi- fying common themes among the group. The final events of the 150th year were Baccalaureate and Commencement, the latter in honor of the noted American author, Mary Hunter Austin, Class of 1888. These ceremonies attracted celebrated Indianapo- lis mayor William Hudnutt and former Wisconsin Governor Lee Sherman Dreyfus. Eight former Student Marshals who also returned to campus for Commencement Weekend were our special guests, including Distinguished Alumnus Gordon McLeod, M.D. Class of 1954. A college with a 150 year his- tory is exceptional and the events of 1987-88 succeeded in reminding us all of that fact and the sacrifices and contribu- tions of so many over such a period which have brought Blackburn to its present cir- cumstances: an institution which has again recently been ranked by the Carnegie Foun- dation among the 120 strongest liberal arts colleges in the Na- tion.

Gideon Blackburn, D.D. 3 ) o 1772 - 1838 Blackburn College is named for the Reverend Gideon Blackburn, a Presbyterian min- ister whose missionary activity was to provide education in the American wilder- ness. One such accomplishment was to organize Presbyterian Churches and local residents to deed 80 acres on the edge of Carlinville for the establishment of an institution of higher learning. In-1837 the land was deeded to an independent Board of Trustees providing Blackburn with a campus. Dr. Blackburn died August 23, 1838 and was buried in the Goode graveyard in Carlinville. GIDEON BLACKBURN, THE MAN The following excerpts are from a letter written by the Reverend J.W. Hall, D.D., Dayton, Ohio, December 20, 1848. Gideon Blackburn had passed away ten years previous on August 23, 1838. The letter is from the Archives, Blackburn College. In his person, Dr. Blackburn was much above the ordinary stature, being about six feet.one or two inches high. He was not fleshy, but ordinarily of a habit rather full than lean. He had a slight stoop of the shoulders; and when in motion you might perceive that he was somewhat lame. His lameness was occasioned by a twofold cause-by a fracture of the thigh bone in early life, which was badly set, and by a white swelling afterwards on the same limb, from which he suffered dreadful pain for many months .... The features of Dr. Blackburn were strongly marked. He had a high and somewhat receding forehead-eyebrows prominent but smooth-eyes large, full, light blue or rather grayish. His nose was large, but not heavy, and slightly aquiline. His lips were thin, finely chiseled, and greatly compressed, and the corners of his mouth being slightly elevated, he usually looked as one wearing a benignant smile. His chin was broad and prominent, giving the aspect of solidity and firmness to the countenance. His complexion was ruddy and healthful. His head was large, and when he was a young man, was clothed with a heavy suit of glossy black hair-in his latter years his hair became perfectly white, and being parted on the crown of his head, it hung in large graceful curls over the back part of his neck, and almost to his shoulders, which added to his fair complexion and fine face, gave him a most venerable and even majestic appearance. It was his eye, however, that was the most striking feature in his whole countenance. Calm, mild, benevolent and even somewhat languid in its ordinary expression, it was capable of outshadowing every thought, feeling, and emotion or passion of his soul, without effort. In his manners, Dr. Blackburn was of the old school-easy, gentle, mild, courteous, affable, but always dignified. There was even something of reserve, if not distance, in his manners, and that too in his own family, and among his most intimate friends. No one could treat him with familiarity. The sentiment inspired by his presence was reverence rather than love, or perhaps I should say it was reverence and love. His dignity was not assumed or laid aside at pleasure. He could not have parted with it, if he had tried. In the family, and in social life, the Doctor was according to the direction of Paul, “blameless, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, one that ruled well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity.” 2 A'finished scholar he was not. Latin he read with facility; Greek indifferently; of Hebrew he knew nothing or next to nothing. His knowledge of the physical sciences was general rather than minute. Of Mathematics, beyond the simplest elements of Algebra and Geometry, it is believed that he knew nothing. History, Geography, Chronology, Logic, Rhetoric, Mental and Moral Philosophy-in these he excelled, and his Lectures on Rhetoric and his illustrations in the art of speaking, his pupils will never forget. THE BURNIAN The first publication attempted by Blackburn Col- lege was in 1868 under the title of The Gleener. The first number of The Gleener appeared February 3, 1868. The subscription price was $1.50 per year. It was con- ducted under the auspices of the Philomathean Society. It was therefore a society paper rather than a college paper. The Gieener had a good advertising patronage, quite a large circulation, considering its era and sur- roundings, one issue reaching nearly three hundred but it seems to have been run extravagantly, and notwith- standing its liberal support became financially short, leaving its editors in the lurch, and expiring with the year which witnessed its birth. By 1871 the college had improved facilities, increased faculty and enrollment, and had opened its doors to women. A college newspaper was now demanded, and hence the origin of the Blackburn Gazette which made its debut in September 1871. Everything was favorable from the start. It received generous cooperation and support and proceeded through its first volume of nine numbers triumphantly. The second volume of the Ga- zette began with the September number of 1872. But notwithstanding its success, the Gazette went to the wall with its second volume, never to be revived. The Blackburn Courier was started in November of 1881. The name Courier had already been adopted by Monmouth College which caused the paper to be rech- ristened as the Blackburnian. Today, the paper contin- ues to be published under a shortened title, The Bur- nian.

Each club or organization and dorm must have a constitution that the Student Senate has accepted at some time. The Senate looks at every constitution that is brought before them and determines if it is acceptable not only to the members of the Senate but also to the college. In keeping with representing the students, the Senate looks into areas that affect the students more directly. They discuss such issues as campus morale, the judical system, and health aid.

The Senate recognizes these issues as major areas in students’ lives and sticks with these issues in hopes of benefitting the students. Meeting in two. special sessions, Student Senate mem- bers spoke of two topics that greatly affected and will affect the campus community. The first meeting occured the day after the burning of the Carlinville High School and dealt with the opening of the classrooms to the 6th grade students. The members that attended voiced opinions ranging from the idea itself to longer meal lines that could occur. In the second meeting, Don Weiss met with the members to answer questions and to listen to opinions about the Strategic Flan that will be implemented into the callecs Chartered 1857 Blackburn College The Only Self Help College in Illinots | 500 p the . | eet im of $19,500 le Orn ON’T give up college because you think | : sit _Varris. ; May January Wo oe eee of the late der earaity he you cannot afford it.

AND MOTHER HUDSON 1912 - 1945 Emerson’s statement that “An institution is but the lengthened shadow of a man” comes to being literally true of Blackburn. Our College would not be what it is if Dr. and Mrs. Hudson had not come here, and if they had not put thirty-three years into the up- building of the institution. They built their characters and their ideals into the College to such a degree that Blackburn will reflect these qualities for decades to come. When Dr. Hudson came to Blackburn there were not more than 35 students in the College and in the academy then operated by the College. Blackburn’s financial resources were so meager as almost to be non-existent. We had no work plan. There were two buildings. When he retired there were about 300 students, six buildings, a famous work plan, and a large endowment. These physical, tangible improvements were matched by a deep and strong spirit of enthusiasm and faith. Dr. Hudson was ably assisted in all his work by Mrs. Hudson, whose devotion to Blackburn was at least as great as his. Blackburn is fortunate that the Hudsons came here. We are glad to salute them, and to honor their achievements. Robert P. Ludlum President Beaver Tales 1951 11 .OLD MAIN The old building was erected at different times. The south half was built in 1859 following the granting of the charter in 1857. Twelve years later, the tower, the north half, and the Mansard roof were erected. The building included the library, a large reading room, the chapel, five large class rooms, all the college offices and housing for 80 men. THE FIRE Early Monday morning, August 22, 1927, fire broke out in the upper story and despite the best efforts of the local fire department the building could not be saved. The fire destroyed the greater part of the library, much of the office equipment, two pianos, furniture in the five classrooms and 40 dormitory rooms. The burning of the books continued for days. The morning after photo is a view from the south. CLEAN UP While the ruins of Old Main were still smoking hot, Blackburn boys began removing the debris. Neighbors lent teams while the students loaded the wagon and helped dump the loads. With the aid of friends, neighbors, The Pullman Company and Standard Oil, railroad cars were brought to the campus. Temporary buildings were set up. The fire 12 was August 22, school opened September 15 as usual. THE FARM The college farm, the dairy herd, the dairy and the swine herd were all operated and managed by the students. The dairy herd consisted of registered Holsteins and the swine herd of registered Duroc- Jersey Hogs. The feeding and the caring for the cows and hogs was all done by students. In 1948 the college barn burned to the ground and the decline of the farm began. World War II caused a labor _ shortage and even though the barn was partially reconstructed, the farm never recovered and was eventually shut down. Dawes Sport Center, now Woodward Physical Education Center was built on the site of the farm. 1. Blackburnia Miss Homestead. Raised and developed in the college herd. 2. Swine judging 3.

A few with a natural gift for making money can go to any university, work their way, have a fine time socially, and come out richer than they went in. Such chaps are always found in college, but they are not common. Others can help to pay their way by a limited amount of work. With assistance from home or friends, they get along splendidly. Still others have neither the money-making knack, nor friends with cash. For them, life in a big, expensive college with students from families of all degrees of wealth may be difficult and spiritually embittering. The self- help college is a solution here.” Neil M. Clark, The American Magazine 1. Fifty loaves of bread a day! 2. Fresh, warm bread brings a smile. 3. Learning to prepare meals. 14 THE WORK PROGRAM Initially, all of the work done by the students was divided along the tradi- tional lines of men and women’s work. The men doing the heavy farm and typical men’s work with the women do- ing domestic type chores of cooking, cleaning, and laundering. The young women did all of the cooking and the serving of meals except on Sunday when the men served the meals. In addition to the farm work, the men performed all of the common labor work when the various buildings were being erected on the campus. Today, there is no distinction be- tween the work performed by the men and women. Tasks are assigned on the basis of need and student preference as far as is possible. The women may be found on construction scaffolds laying brick, painting, driving tractors as well as working in the office. During World War I the idea of stu- dent management was added to that of self-help at Blackburn. First rate em- ployees were scarce then, and an incom- petent woman was in charge of the col- lege kitchen. Some student said: “We could do that work.” Dr. Hudson agreed that they might have a trial and they have been doing the work ever since. Since student management worked so well in the kitchen it was tried else- where. Today, al student work is man- aged by the students. BEAVER TALES In 1880, a monthly literary magazine, The Courier was published and its commence- ment issue included many features of an an- nual. Not until 1932, however, was an annual in pictorial form published. The new publi- cation, The Blackburnia, was published er- ratically over the period from 1923-1931 which was the date of its last known publica- tion. The Blackburnia developed into an an- nual format with many pictures, societal ac- tivities and a record of year by year campus life. Also during the twenties, The Blackbur- nette appeared as a humorous take off of the college annual. Apparently, The Blackbur- nette was completely inspired, composed and published by several students. Our present annual, Beaver Tales, has been preserving memories of college life for Blackburn students since 1950. Beaver Tales has been published each year since that time.

The fire department succeeded in containing the fire but not before extensive damage was done to the entire building. The fire gutted the entire third floor of the school. There was extensive water damage to the remainder of the building and its contents. The entire community, including Blackburn gathered around to do what it could to help in the crisis. As the community aided Blackburn in the years past as when Old Main burned to the ground, so Blackburn did w hat was possible during this crisis. Specifically, Blackburn provided classrooms for five classes of sixth grade children for approximately six weeks. The children were bussed to the college each morning, returned to the high school for lunch and then returned to the college for the rest of the school day. The sixth grade students seemed to enjoy “going to college” as much as BU students enjoyed having them around. “Here they come!” 18 Sixth graders go to college Judy Schwartz, School Board President and Carol Froehlke, BU Devel- opment Office serve cold drinks. Dr. Pat Kowal, Director, BU Learning Center and Dick Spohr, High School Principal serve soft ice cream Eventually, the high school was cleaned up, school resumed and the situation did not seem as bad as had been anticipated. To celebrate, everyone from the community gathered on the campus and participated in an old fashioned ice cream social. The community band played, speeches of thanks were given and the kids had a great time climbing all over the fire department’s snorkel truck. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream, the beautiful weather and the spirit of brotherhood in the community. Future firemen try on the snorkel truck for size.

It was the kick-off of Black- burn’s 150th birthday and also the 75th anniversary of the year Dr. Hudson stepped off the train and found he was head of a college with only 10 students. A special program on Friday evening featured a presentation to Dr. Hudson’s three daughters. They reminisced what it was like to live at Blackburn during the early years of the Work Program, the Depression and the World Wars. Queen Helen was crowned and reigned over the weekend festivities that included the 150th Birthday Par- ty, alumni soccer game, dance and many other activities.

The festive occasion continued this year. The production is under the direction of Dr. Roger Hatlestad who is always very ably assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers who stage the scene and make the costumes. A madrigal is a 16th century secular composition usually for unaccompanied voices, written for casual, around the table, after dinner entertainment. When first introduced the music was passed around -and each guest participated, the expectation being that cultured persons could sight read music. Madrigals became popular in Italy and England at the same time. 34 box of candy kanes a, Jan Petee oys a Gregg Stade enj HUME e A an Duff and Coleman in Kev CH 37 BLACK EXPERIENCE II An attentive audience listens to Black Experience II.

CLARK MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND In the words of Dr. Fred Marsh, 58, James R. Clark, “exemplified the highest values of Blackburn.” James Clark, 58, was an outstanding student and graduate of Blackburn. Jim was a campus leader, achieving positions as Work Manager, president of the Student Council, presi- dent of his senior class and earned both the citizenship prize and the student government prize. He did advanced work in biochemistry at Washington University and earned a medical degree at Howard University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. After completing his residency at the V.A. Hospital in San Francisco, Dr. Clark gave generously of his time and skill, treating needy patients at little or no cost and per- forming extensive charity work. He was instrumental in establishing the Columbia Area Sickle-Cell Anemia Foun- y dation which has been renamed in his memory. Dr. Clark’s life came to a tragic end in February, 1979. Classmates Marie Douglass Dargan and Dr. Fred Marsh decided to perp etuate the memory of Dr. Clark by estab- lishing a scholarship in Clark’s name. Cecil Butler, 59, joined the plans and the Dr. James R. Clark Memorial Scholarship Fund was presented to the college during the February Founders Day Convocation. The scholarship is : for students who qualify academically but have disadvan- — _ taged socio-economic backgrounds. Delores Washington, Dr. Clark’s sister, attended the convocation representing the family. The Clark family also helped establish the scholarship. Dr. Marsh, in telling of Dr. Clark’s accomplishments, quoted Shirley Thrasher, 59. “He was a model of idealism that translated into the highest level of humanity in car- ing and giving.” eo en Delores Washington, sister of Dr. Clark, Dr. Fred Marsh, Marie Douglass Dargan 44 CaNGRATS BLECKBESE iS8Te Trustee Harry Starr, wife Betty receive commendation for leadership in the 150 Year celebration program Dr. Brooks 45 1988 Valentine’s Court Tony Fout, Wendy Thomas, Wayne Koelemeyer (standing in for King Derek Fultz), Queen Kim Winche, Alan Hughes, Kim Newby, Greg Stade, Michelle Averbuch. : ; 1.

Dr. Hudson found there was a shortage of personal funds for education rather than a shortage of those desiring an education. He was able to help both the students in the area as well as the college by instituting a self-help or Work Program at Blackburn. Dr. Hudson introduced a Work Program where the students paid $100 for room, board, and tuition in addition to working 18 hours per week. The initial program was patterned after that of Park College, Parkville, Missouri. The 75th Anniversary of the Work Program was celebrated on April 27, 1988 with a special Labor Day Convocation. In addition to its longevity, the Blackburn Work Program’s outstanding feature is that it is the only student managed work program among the five work = The Labor Day Convocation of the 150th Anniversary Year Geri Marti Richard Schott Lisa Scott Daniel Lochner Joel Parent Trina Kirby Kenny Knox Ruth Roady Chris Galardi Steve Harders Blackburn College Carlinville, Illinois Bothwell Auditorium Don Yowell 10:00 A.M. Wednesday, April 27, 1988 colleges in the country. Student supervision was instituted shortly after the program started. The program has evolved to the point where most of the operational management is in the hands of the students. In addition to economic benefits, an equally important purpose of the program is to provide a learning experience for the students. This experience ranges from specific job skills to the awareness of the nature and responsibilities of work itself. For those willing to accept the challenge, the program provides the opportunity for increased growth and learning by providing positions as student managers. The 1987-88 Work Committee had a particularly arduous set of tasks during their term of office. The Committee made many changes in the operation of the program in addition to their regular duties of scheduling, directing and evaluating the student work force. Members of the Committee also had participatory roles in national meetings of the five work colleges in the nation; Warren Wilson College, NC; School of the Ozarks, MO; and Berea College and Alice Llyod College, KY. These meetings were sponsored by the Ford Foundation in an effort to find common factors in the programs that might be of value to other educational institutions. The Committee also had a part in developing the special Labor Day convocation. The Labor Day Program began the night before with the Honor’s Banquet. The Convocation was followed by a Work Symposium, Labor Day Games, Picnic, an evening Chapel Service and ended with a Blues Concert. Faculty and staff performed the necessary work functions of the day so that the students could enjoy their own special Labor Day.

Through the generosity of an anonymous donor a $250,000 gift was given to the College to assist in the expansion of Lumpkin Library. Additional funding has been received from friends of the College. The gifts will fund a new wing to house a sixty seat auditorium, archives, a government document area, an audio-visual studio, and a photographic dark- room. Ground was broken Saturday, May 21st shortly before commencement exercises. The occasion sym- bolizes the beginning of construction of the new wing of Lumpkin Library. Footings will be laid during the summer and construction will continue in the fall when students return to campus. This addition will be the first new construction on campus in five years. Dr. M.
