Breaking ground, laying corner- stones, completing structures, these are but physical manifestations of the de- velopment of a college. This retro- spection cannot be designated a his- tory of our institution. The faculty that inaugurated and fostered educa- tion in the Liberal Arts; the alumni who participated in the formative years of the inStitution; the students who pass through her halls today; they are the history of Siena College. What shall the future hold for this institution which, having been estab- lished in years of national economic recovery, survived the darkness of war and thrived in the illumination of peace and prosperity? Siena College, under the patronage of St. Bernardine, has granted twenty-hve years Of serv- ice to the student and the nation. May she continue to give glory to God and flourish in the cause of higher edu- catlon.

1311$- . .-i3!!!?'l II ON AUGUST 10, 1948, His Excellency Bishop Gibbons, blessed and broke ground for the Saint Bernardine of Siena Friary. REV. EDMUND F. CHRISTY, O.F.M., President, aids in laying the cornerstone for the Father Jerome Dawson Memorial Library. OVER 100,000 VOLUMES are catalogued in the Li- brary, a memorial to the First Chairman of the Board of Trustees. In 1950, a Graduate School was formed at Siena College. Courses of study leading to Masters degrees in Arts, Science, Science in Education and Business Administration were offered. The student interested in graduate work at Siena was thus given an opportunity to increase his academic and professional competence through the means of advanced instruction and indi- vidual reasearch. Another milestone in the Colleges his- tory was the construction of the Father Jerome Dawson Memorial Library in 1954. The attic of Siena Hall had served as a library, but the pressing need for more space had long been realized. Father Jet- ome had been the first chairman of the 15 Board of Trustees of Siena. He had held that position in the critical years of the school and had helped to guide the school's administration from its conception. The Fall semester of 1959 was delayed two weeks as the construction was com- pleted on the long-awaited residence hall. Dedicated to the memory of Thomas Plass- mann, this dormitory accomodates two hundred and fifty students. A Dining Hall was also constructed which can serve five hundred students. The most recent step in the schools development is the building of a new dormitory, adjacent to Plassmann Hall, to be ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1962.
