Clyemiftgf and Public .Ypealzing Englixb Formed with the Junior College as a model, the Collegiate Center at Medina was organized to give an opportunity to those students who could not otherwise attend college. Students who matriculate here may work in the daytime and go to school evenings with very little cost. Regular college courses, accredited at most colleges, are offered under the auspices of Alfred University and the supervision of the State Department of Education. Besides having over sixty students enrolled, the Medina Collegiate Center claims eight teachers including the librarian and the supervisor. Classes begin at 4:40 P.M. and continue until 9 P.M. The subjects offered include English composition and liter- ature, Spanish, French, German, public speaking, chemistry, history, economics, business law, trigonometry, analytic geometry, psychology, logic, and calculus. The extra-curricular activities comprise the publication of a magazine, occasional assemblies, dances, and basketball games. 18

The passage of seventy years brings in its train many changesg but hardly any of these are greater contrasts than the differences between the first class to be graduated from the Old Medina Academy and the Class of 1936. To the mathematically minded, there may be some mystical significance in the fact that numerical comparisons between the classes seem to run to sixes and multiples of six, for the Class of 1936 is twelve times the size of the Class of 1866, whose nu- merical strength was one-half of twelve or six-all Of which is a long-winded way of saying that the number graduating has increased by leaps and bounds. In the Class of 1936 the balance between girls and boys is fairly even, in the Class of 1866 there was not a single male. Apparently equal rights for women were realized very early in Medina. Nevertheless, in the midst of all these changes, one perennial feature has been left unaltered. That is the graduation exercises. In a sweltering heat in Bent's Opera House, the only auditorium of the day, on June 29, 1866, the same type of program was given to which the Class Of 1936 also may listen On a swel- tering June day. Thus do trivial details live on after all else is changed.
