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.

DR. 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
