42 Northwood Observes Tenth Anniversary 1959-1969 This year marks the Tenth Anniversary of the founding of Northwood and its education. The original campus was, and still is at Alma but it was back in 1962 that Northwood of Midland was created in five and one half short months. The history of Midland’s Northwood goes like this: Alden B. Dow and Associates, Inc., had been commissioned to design the then-proposed new campus following purchase of the site in the late summer of 1961. By Spring of 1962, architects were working with Northwood in the development of a master site plan. President Turner and Vice-President Stauffer told the architects they wanted to be in the new buildings by September. Key men from the architectural firm were used in all areas, working night and day and weekends for the first few months in a closely co- ordinated effort. When construction work started April 13, there were no plans or specifications. The first undertaking was to chop one and a half miles of temporary road through the woods. The road job and site preparations required removal of about four and a half acres of timber. After strikes by the steelworker’s union and a plumber’s union, the Midland campus opened only weeks after the proposed date. Classes started September 25, while stu- dents attended courses in temporary classrooms in the dormitory and commons area, workers finished the job. The actual Tenth Anniversary ceremonies commemorate the founding of Northwood at Alma, Mich., March 23, 1959 by Turner and Stauffer, where only 103 students enrolled in 1959.

Dale Pegg There are those who look at a Dale Pegg photo as they would read a novel. There is a direct sense of Communication in his photographs of the Northwood campus and of its people. And from these very perceptive photos, a visitor can draw some understanding of what the campus is about. The general nature of Dale Pegg’s photos seem to probe into the fact of his material, whether it be a study of the woods, or a study of a personality. Realistic—all of them, outstanding statements of the Northwood en- vironment. 41
