PROGRESS Some people think of a college as a group of buildings, Others see a place where people work, play, and leam, together. Webster would call it an institution of higher leaming. In all these respects our college has grown since the class of l950 came to Oswego .... To the freshmen of l946 our college meant two buildings-one general elementary and one industrial arts. At that time, flve hundred students walked its campus. Athletics and fra- temities had iust been reactivated after the war years. The lodge on the lakeshore was being completed and the trees behind the l. A. building were giving way to Splinter Village. The auditorium resembled a hall in that it had no permanent seats or curtains. A new cafeteria, dormitories, and a men's gym were merely plans for the future .... In the past four years, the campus has expanded in all directions. Intensive construction has become the scene. First, all the temporary buildings, at present the new dormitories across Sheldon Avenue and the annex to the Industrial Arts Building, in the future, a new gym- nasium and elementary school .... Oswego State has grown in more than physical facili- ties. The curriculum and activities have been widened. Two years ago the college was authorized to grant the master's degree. The class of l950 will be the Hrst general ele- mentary class to receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education .... We at Oswego are living parts of a momentum started by our institution's founder, Dr. Sheldon. Our achievements were not easy. These accomplishments were struggles-long laborious struggles. We have a history we can be proud of. With this in mind we can only expect improvements and progress in the direction of higher standards. We must strive to main- tain our heritage. -,Hi ll rl . , , . , . f'r- S-. Q . -r .T : r-.HL E t a 1 z 5 lg to Q l. 1 1: r ., 5 ,, R ft E Q H 11 li l 1, 1,

DEDICATICN To .... Dr. Charles Yager, B,A., M.A., Ph.D., who despite the formality of those impressive titles and degrees, is one of those rare creatures we call the salt of the earth .... He is one of the true friends and counsel- lors to the students of this college. Doc will be remem- bered for his fine teaching, his refreshing philosophy on life, his freely offered help and his never ending stream of stories. Just where he gets all those stories will always be a mystery to us .... Dr. Yager has been at Oswego since l936 and has taught every course in the science field with the lone exception of geography. He has seen fourteen classes come and go. We are the richer because of our contact with him .... We bid you hail and fairwell.
