MAY 25, 1937 Queens College flung open its doors to a horde of 400 students on October 4, 1937, but the oflicial fanfare and the cutting of red ribbons took place some months before. It was on April 6 that the Board of Higher Education gave Queens County's 1,300,000 citizens their only center of higher learning. And it was on May 25 that Paul Klapper was named President of Queens College, and told the city fathers that this youngest of the municipal colleges was founded on the belief that education is not for the elite, the chosen few students with money to spare. Queens Collegef' he told its community, was not just another college whose sole end was to turn out robot-like products of several well-selected instructors and textbooks. It is fundamentally a college of liberal arts Whose primary and immediate purpose is to serve youth. But youth can best be served by a college which enters fully and helpfully into the life of its community. Based on the- firm conviction that Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen -Everyman -wants to knows about the world that surrounds him, Queens College was still' quite Wet behind its ears when it opened its two-barreled campaign to become the pivotal point of Queensboro's cultural life. ' Weekly forums on politics and literature, psychological Warfare and movies, city planning and the stage, conferences of price control and health, radio broadcasts on democracy and Axis education, a speech clinic for boys of 6 and girls of 60, concerts, recitals, oratorios . . . these fulfilled the pledge made in 1937 by President Paul Klapper that- Queens will be a peop1e's college.
