SIENA COLLEGE: 1937-1962 THE TASK of Christian education was inaugurated in St. Francis Hall, The Friary. Ninety-five students took their places in the small classrooms of a flve-room house on the bright morning of September 21, 1937. One hundred and fifty feet before the door of this white, colonial building stretched the United States Highway 9. The students, however, who occupied the rear of the building viewed a typical rural scene that embraced fields and barns. The Garrett Estate, as this fertile farm land was called by the residents of the town- ship, had been purchased by the Province of the Holy Name of Jesus the previous spring. Seven priests and two brothers entered the newly designated St. Francis Hall and began the great work of Franciscan education in the diocese of Albany. The intangible cornerstone of Christian learning was thus laid on this brisk, autumn morning, a cornerstone which would support the educational insititution of St. Bernardine of Siena College. An enterprising Bishop of Albany, The Most Reverend Edmund Francis Gibbons and a fore- sighted Franciscan, Father Thomas Plassmann, had made this first day of class possible when, in April, 1937, they completed negotiations for the establishment of a liberal arts college on thirty-eight acres of farmland four miles north of the city of Albany. To establish a college in Central New York State in those turbulent times was a bold venture; yet both men realized the pressing need for a Catholic institution of higher learning in the Capitol District.
