ROOSEVELT UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES THE VANGUARD 1957 A PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENTS OF ROOSEVELT UNIVERSITY 430 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Page 1 p gc 2 A SHORT HISTORY OF ROOSEVELT UNIVERSITY The history of Roosevelt University is in essence the history of an idea -— an idea which did not originate at any one time but which grew up out of centuries of man's struggle for freedom and growth, out of man's longing to develop to his highest capacities to fulfill his destiny. As man's desire for self-improvement has grown so have educational facilities been born and a measure of a society has been taken from the quality and scope of its educational opportunities. Throughout history barriers to the learning process have been many and stubborn. As each one is pene- trated the ideal toward which man strives becomes a greater reality. Roosevelt University is the product of the deter- mination of a group of free men to maintain a free and dem- ocratic educational institution. To be meaningful any history of Roosevelt University must start back in 1936 when as the new president of Cen- tral YMCA College of Chicago, discriminations against mi- nority groups were brought to my attention. As each one appeared the faculty and staff, in deep conviction, worked toward their elimination so that from 1936 until 1945 all students, regardless of race, color and creed, were admit- ted to the college on equal terms, and all activities, academic, physical and social, were open to every student alike. Competence was made the only criterion for faculty additions, and all were given complete freedom to teach and to learn. By 1943 and 1944, with the war in progress, national trends began to affect the enrollments of this institution which admitted students only on the basis of ability. Mi- nority groups found their way to this college where they had a chance and bv the Fall of 1944 pressure began to come from the Board of Directors of the college and the Board of Managers, not only to reduce the number of Negro, Japanese and Jewish students, but to curtail discussion of contro- versial subjects within the classroom. By the Spring of 1945 demands for reduction in the numbers of minority groups were formalized and I, as pres- ident of the institution, was asked to modify the policies of freedom of opportunity and academic freedom, or resign. On April 16, 1945, I sent the following message to the Board of Directors: Since coming to Central YMCA College as president on July 26, 1936, the faculty, the college staff, and I have stood to- gether for academic freedom, and equal educational opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed. Page 3 During this past year the college board took action seeking to limit academic freedom, and members of the board, in- dividually, tried to influence me to bring about a change in the entrance policy, limiting certain minority groups, particularly, Negroes. Realizing that the college cannot further develop under these auspices, and under these circumstances can no longer remain true to its pledge of academic freedom and equal educational opportunities for all, and being personally unwilling to compromise on these principles, I hereby submit my resignation as President of Central YMCA College. On April 17, 1945, a ten dollar check was sent to the State of Illinois applying for a charter for Thomas Jeffer- son College, which within a week became Roosevelt College in honor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who died on April 12, leaving us the heritage of the Four Freedoms. Before funds were secured to make Roosevelt College more than a name 62 of the 79 members of the faculty of Central YMCA College resigned and the student body almost unanimously declared their intention to follow the faculty. This in reality made the creation of Roosevelt College pos- sible for only through the dedication of a group of men to an ideal could our institution have been born and developed. Marshall Field, through the Field Foundation, and Edwin Em- bree, through the Rosenwald Fund, saw the need and the dream. Each one gave $75,000 to help make the dream a reality, en- abling Roosevelt College to take its first breath after be- ing born. In addition, thousands of public spirited citi- zens moved by the vision and the need rose up to add their moral and financial support to this new venture. In so short a history there is not space to tell the story of the struggle to obtain that first building on Quincy and Wells, to get classrooms ready for opening on September 17, 1945, amid war-time restrictions, to recount the inconveniences tolerated by the faculty and by the 1,200 loyal students who registered that first Fall. Roosevelt College did open on September 17, and was dedicated at the first Roosevelt College dinner on Novem- ber 16, 1945, by Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt with the words: Roosevelt College of Chicago was founded to provide educational opportunities for persons of both sexes and of various races on equal terms' and to 'maintain a teaching Page 4 faculty which is both free and re- sponsible in the discovery and dissemination of truth. I, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, dedicate Roosevelt College to the fulfillment of these dynamic principles! to the enlightenment of the human spirit through the constant search for truth; and to the growth of the human spirit through knowledge, understanding and good will. Roosevelt College was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools after six months of operations. It grew each semester until burst- ing seams demanded larger quarters and so Chicago's old Auditorium Hotel at Congress and Michigan was purchased as its permanent home. Its faculty grew in numbers and stature until there are now 225 on its teaching staff In its tenth year Roosevelt College became Roosevelt University and was accredited by the North Central Assocation for awarding of Master's degrees in eleven fields. That Roosevelt University is meeting a need in the city of Chicago is evidenced by the large percentage of growth in enrollment each year for the past three years and by its present enrollment of 4,200 students. That it needs added material resources is evidenced by the underpaid superior faculty and the holes in the floor. As graduates of Roosevelt you have experienced our strengths and our weaknesses. You also know of our striv- ings to help you fulfill your destiny. Perhaps the best way to sum up this spot of history is to quote a sentence from a letter of a Roosevelt grad- uate, now a college professor: Roosevelt University was a place where I was not afraid to be friendly. Perhaps the best way to envision the future of Roosevelt University is to see the whole physical plant in terms of the newly restored Banqueting Hall (now the Rudolph Ganz Recital Hall), and to view the academic program in the light of ever deepening search for knowledge in an atmosphere of Education for Freedom. EDWARD J. SPARLING President rch 15, 1957 Page 5 The 1957 VANGUARD is humbly ded- icated to Dr. Siegfried Marck and Dr. Irving Tenner, in sincere apprecia- tion for the many benefits Roosevelt University has shared with them. The printed page can do scant justice to their accomplishments as educators, nor can words capture the warmth of their personalities. Only in our hearts can we record their many per- sonal gestures, and only in our lives can we hope to reflect in some meas- ure the example of their dedicated lives. The loss of these distinguished men was aeeply felt by faculty and students alike. The men -- teachers and friends -- were loved and revered by all who knew and associated with them. Dr. Irving Tenner, Professor of Accounting at Roosevelt University, died December 25, 1956, in Colum- bus Hospital. Dr. Tenner taught at R. U. since 1946. He also taught at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. Dr. Tenner was an indepen- dent accountant in Chicago, speciali- aing in audits of municipalities. An accountant, educator, and author. Dr. Tenner was a native of Romania, but came to the United States when he was only 13, and was educated here; he received his Ph. D. in Economics from Northwestern University, and his C.P. A. certificate from the State of Illinois. Dr. Tenner was the author of Financial Administration of Municipal Utilities, Manual of Water Works Accounting, and Municipal and Gov- ernmental Accounting. The latter is a text used by Roosevelt University as well as by other colleges. Page 6 Dr. Siegfried Marck, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Roosevelt University was a member of the orig- inal faculty of Roosevelt College, when it was established in 1945. He started his teaching career in 1917 in his native Germany, but was forced to flee the country when Hitler's regime seized control. Dr. Marck taught in France prior to coming here in 1939. After being heard by Deans Hillman and Leys at a guest lecture he gave at the University of Chicago, he was offered a teaching position at the old Central YMCA Col- lege where he taught for the next six years. Dr. Marck was co-author of the book: Germany - To Be or Not To Be; in addition, he wrote many other books and articles in both German and English. Dr. Marck died February 16, 1957, in his home.

Page 9 430 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE Chicago 5. Illinois TELEPHONE WABASH 2-3 S 80 March 19, 19£7 TO THE EDITORS: I wish to express my appreciation to the student editors of VANGUARD for the yeoman task they have done in a few short weeks. After a financially disasterous yearbook in 1947, there had been no inclination to tackle another until now. In fact, there had been no faculty or administrative encouragement to do so for fear of another loss. The fact that the VANGUARD has come to life after all these years is entirely due to the students' insistence that they wanted one, plus their willingness to give the necessary hours of work to putting out a book. My congratulations to you all for a job well done! G. Nicholas Paster Director of Student Activities GNP et Page 10 ADMINISTRATION [ [ r [ t [ t [ t e d [ [ t t t t t [ t [ teft to Right: Edward J.

Our candid camera just happened to be around to catch these pictures of our beloved Dean of Student Services, Emery W. Balduf. Because Dean Balduf is leaving us in June, the faculty and students want to take this opportunity to wish him only the very best of everything, always. Dean Balduf, may you continue to guide and inspire young people for many years to come. Nice talking to you! Page 14 The once-renowned recital hall of Roosevelt University was dedicated to Rudolph Ganz in honor of his 30th birthday, February 2b. The hall, built by Adler and Sullivan at the end of the last century, was called the 3anqueting Hall of the Auditorium Hotel and was k known as one of the most beautiful rooms in the country A contemporary sums up his long description of the room by saying: There is every reason for believing that this Banqueting Hall is now, and will continue to be, for generations, a constant fountain of inspiration to all who love art No one has ever visited it with- out feeling that Chicago was a much better place than he had believed. Joseph Creanza Director of Chicago Musical College Restoring the room as a recital hall and dedicating it to Rudolph Ganz on his 80th birthday was the idea of Joseph Creanza, Direc- tor of the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University. A year ago, the campaign was launched to secure the $75,000 needed for the project under the co-chairmanship of Mr. Theodore Steinway and Mrs. John VI under the co-chairmanship of Mr. Theodore Steinway and Mrs. John V. Spachner. At the dedication, Mrs. Spachner reported that over $75,000 had been donated and pledged to the campaign. The goal of the drive was reached within a year. Page 15 Lowell F. HueIster, Vice-President and Treasurer Office of the Controller Administration A $1,825 000 capital gifts and stabilization campaign high- lighted the 1956-57 administrative year. The fund drive received its official kick-off at a dinner in the Palmer House, March 5 where approximately 1,000 business and civic leaders heard the appeal made by the University s Development Council and Page 16 Board of Trustees Mayor Daley, one of the principal speakers at the dinner, which also marked the 120th anniversary of the incorporation of Chicago as a city, said that Roosevelt came up the hard way .«against odds that often seemed insurmountable. He also predicted that Roosevelt wi.ll have to be ready to teach some 9,000 persons in the next three years, compared to the present 6,000 enrollment. Wilson M. Compton, president. Council for Financial Aid to Education, Inc., New York, another of the guest speakers at the dinner, said, Here in this capital of the American Middle West, we are in the very shadow of three great universities which deserved recognition through- out the nation and even around the world. Yet...institutions like Roosevelt University, more and more throughout recent years, have been opening up college opportunity to thousands to whom the doors heretofore had largely been closed. It is the great credit of this institution that it has ventured to be different — different in its campus surroundings, differ- ent in its organization, different in the nature and scope of its appeal to the public. The University’s Board of Trustees announced its own contribu- tion as $100,000, to kick off the campaign. Another $272,000 in advance gifts and pledges from friends of the University was announced by Jerome Stone, speaking for the Board of Trustees. One million dollars of the campaign money will go principally into rehabilitation of the University building, enlarged classroom and laboratory space, library facilities for the graduate division, subsidies Page 17 for faculty research, increased faculty salaries and the establishment of a student center and recreational area. The long-range goal of the Development Council is to raise a total of 16 million dollars to meet the future educational needs of the community served by Roosevelt University, as its contribution to the future growth and expansion of Chicago. Roosevelt's 300 member ’-.’omen's Scholarship Organization pledged to raise $100,000 in the next three years for education, at the organization's second annual meeting and tea, January 30. A goal of $h0,000 was set for 1997. Of this money, to be applied to the Roosevelt University Scholarship Fund, a total of approximately $11,800 has been raised since September 1, 1956. The Association elected its officers and Board of Directors for the coming year, including Mrs. Jean Dago, Mrs. Allison Davis, Mrs. Sam Diamond, Mrs. Earl Dickerson, Mrs. William Gibbs, Mrs. Wendell Phillips, Mrs. George Prince, Mrs. John Sehgstacke, and Mrs. Katie Thompson, all members of the Board of Directors. The Women's Scholarship Association, established in 19££ was organized the same year that Roosevelt University celebrated its tenth anniversary. Since that time, it has raised over $61,000, and has helped more than 200 men and women go to college. Page 18 ♦ 4 f brmry Page 21 M Council Executive ROBERT H. ATWOOD B.A., English JAMES R.

A major portion of the University's social life is centered around its three fraternities -- Beta Sigma Tau, Praetorians, and Tau Delta Phi -- and single sorority. Phi Delta Rho. Most of the proceeds from the organizations' year-round social calendar find their way to the coffers of the Roosevelt University Scholarship Fund, or some worthy outside charity. TAU DELTA PHI Lamda Epsilon Iota, local fraternity of Roosevelt University, completed affiliation with Tau Delta Phi national fraternity in an induction ceremony at the Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel, January 27, 1957. The national fraternity was represented by Stanley Goodman, national secretary, Alan Freeman, regional vice-consul, and the consuls of the Loyola and Northwestern chapters of Tau Delta Phi. Roosevelt University was represented by Nick Paster, director of student activities. LEI is now known as Tau Pi chapter of Tau Delta Phi. Tau Pi represents the newest chapter in the history of the fraternity, which was established in 1910. Highlight of the Tau Delt's social calendar will be their annual gala dance, A Dream Come True, which represents co-op- eration on the part of almost every Midwestern University. Proceeds from the sale of bids will contribute to the fight against nephrosis, the killer disease which claimed the life of a former Roosevelt student, Hershey Schneider.

The dance was presented in the Bal Tabarin Room of the Sherman Hotel, December 22, featuring music by Martin Roberts and his orchestra. Sheila Vigat, Phi Gamma Tau candidate, was elected Queen of the highly successful all-campus affair. The two runners-up selected with Miss Vigat as finalists after six days of very stiff competition, were Arlene Horn, WRBC candidate, and Wilma Wright, of Phi Delta Rho. The judges were Jim Mills, popular Chicago disc-jockey who emceed the affair; Mr. Franklin, who represented Roosevelt University; and Mr. Noack, a representative of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, recipient of the dance proceeds. In addition to a full round of social activities, the Praetorians were active in intra-mural sports throughout the year. Page 70 BETA SIGMA TAU EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Back Row: D. Cherry, S Davis, S.

This valuable opportunity is offered by the George D. Gaw chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma national professional auvertising fraternity for men. Highlighting the group's activities was a college advertising contest conducted in conjunction with Playboy Magazine among the active chapters of Alpha Delta Sigma. Member chapters of ADS composed an advertisement exemplifying the impact and acceptance of Playboy at their particular college level, thus providing an opportunity for students to gain valuable experience in the preparation of effective auvertising.

Newman PHI DELTA RHO Phi Delta Rho, Roosevelt’s sole social sorority, en- deavors to develop school spirit among its members and to provide them with opportunities to share good times together. The girls work in conjunction with other organizations here at RU to promote social life and rah-rah spirit among the students. Fall semester events included a dinner dance, Hallo- ween party, card party, and pajama party. In addition to providing good times, the program of social events enables the sorority to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, of which it is an affiliate. Through their Queen for a Night dance, highlight of the sorority’s social year, the girls hope to donate several hundred dollars to combat the dread disease. Phi Delta Rho's first undertaking this fall was a huge membership drive. For the first time in its history, the sorority opened its doors to all university girls interested in joining. A Rush Tea was held enabling all potential mem- bers to get together and meet one another. An outstanding achievement of the sorority last semester was its work on the scholarship bazaar. Through the combined efforts of all the girls on the book booth, the sorority raised more than 8330. for scholarships. Page 73 Left to Right: Adrienne Feinberg, Jeannine Best, Go-Editors THE EDITORS SPEAK The task of producing the 1957 VANGUARD was undertaken by us as an answer to the demands of our fellow students. It started as an idea and matured to a reality on a limited budget, coupled witn many prayers, hard work, and many disappointments. The day has finally come---the VANGUARD is completed, and as you turn these pages, we sincerely hope that many fond memories of the good times and close friends you have had at Roosevelt will be recalled. One or two people alone cannot put out a yearbook, and we feel that we must give special thanks to Nick Paster, who went along with us all the way -- encouraging and advising whenever we need him; and to the men of A. D. S. Advertising Agency whose help and co-operation were priceless to us. It is our hope that this book will be an inspiration to the students of the future classes at Roosevelt University, to continue our pioneering, and each year improve the book until it reaches the top among University Annuals.

The Vanguard, commemorating the opening year of Roosevelt's second decade is designed to launch a continuing series of University annuals. Page 75 STUDENT COUNCIL Roosevelt has an ideal setup for democracy in practice - balanced government. Through the elected student council, representing the stuuent body and through joint faculty-student boards the students of Roosevelt exercise a powerful voice in campus affairs. Working within a framework of general policies laid down by the School the Council advised by faculty representatives, directs such student activities as publications, organizations, and, to some extent, social events. Besides its activities as the students chief co-ordinating organi- zation the council, Robert Atwood presiding launched a full- scale orientation drive, one of the most successful in Roosevelt's ten-year history in welcoming the Spring Class of 1957. The council with the co-operation of students, faculty and administra- tive personnel, set up the program to answer the critical need for a re-evaluation of the University's orientation procedures.

Leroy Lilly. Jr. succeeded Sheldon Treshansky early in the semester as editor-in-chief of the Torch. Page 84 Roosevelt's Metropolitan Players, directed by Miss Anna Helen Reuter, delighted audiences this year with their renditions of The Grass Harp, Dark of the Moon and Medea. Five RU students made their debuts in the Met Players' season opener, a theater-in-the-tound production of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp. This comedy fantasy shows how the pure in heart, like the meek, inherit the earth through a greater capacity for love than most aggressive people. All the common impulses of the world are enlisted against a trio who find sanctuary in a tree house. The penetrating character portrayal, the rich, comic dialogue, and a final scene written with great tenderness make The Grass Harp an original, disarming, gifted piece of writing. Witches, conjour people, a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and an odd assortment of just plain humans went to mke up a delightful rendition by the Met Players of William Berney and Howard Richardson's drama, Dark of the Moon. There is singing, dancing, and comedy in this unusual drama which revolves around the love of a witch boy for a human girl and has as its setting the Smoking Mountains. The down- to-earth dialogue of these common mountain people is flavored with much humor, and at the same time each scene holds tremendous dramatic impact. Robinson Jeffers' version of Euripedes' famed Medea was the third featured performance this season. Unlike most university theater groups, which limit active participation in drama productions to speech majors, the Metropolitan Players is open to all full-time university students.

As many as ten and twelve fraternities, clubs and inuependent teams will be engaged in the jousting every Sunday afternoon. By mid-November the cleats have been hung up and the population is ready to concentrate upon the fall table tennis tourney and bowling. As February rolls around Olivet Institute will be overflowing with Rooseveltians getting ready for the basketball tilts. Praetorians, Beta Sigs, Tau Delts and numerous inuependent teams can be seen sharpening up their eyes, perfecting ball handling techniques, and smoothing out plays By mid-March the horse-hides will be put away, and preparations for the Spring ping-pong joust will get underway, as well as bowling which is actually carried over from the fall, and softball. Softball is one of the bigger entries, usually featuring as many as sixteen teams in two separate leagues, with regular playoffs. Because Roosevelt lacks the facilities to participate, on a large scale, in intercollegiate sports it concentrates its efforts at the intra-mural level, with quite a bit of success. On Letterman's Day, in May, tro- phies are presented to the winning teams of the various tournaments, and awards are given to outstanding players of the year in the various sports. At this time too, letters are presented to athletes who played on the school's Basketball, Golf, and Tennis teams.
