The digging of the foundation was started by seniors, who removed trees and roots then left the easier digging for underclassmen. Springfield College Springfield, Massachusetts 01109 SPRINGFIELD’S FIRST CENTURY . The foundation and the establishment of Springfield College began in 1865, with Henry S. Lee, then the president of Springfield Institute for Savings. He and two other companions asked why a group of children were out sliding, instead of Sunday school. Their answer was that there was not a school for them to attend in the area. This sparked a response in Henry S. Lee that resulted in the establishment of a Sunday school in the home of a former slave named Eli Davis. The school was successful, and in the years to come, the attendance on Sundays grew so great that it was necessary to establish satellite Sunday Schools for the over flow of interested students. The idea of founding a school for Christian Workers was discussed and widely accepted during a discussion that took place on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week in 1884. The people present decided that the school's classes would begin in January of 1885. The newly elected president was Rev. David Allen Reed. The establishment of the school was a controversial issue between the area clergymen, and caused a “falling-out among them. The school, however, opened with an initial attendance of five students, and the first act of the faculty was to suspend classes for one week until the controversey had quited down. Below: Class of 1887 The first building used for classes was the Armory Hill Y.M.C.A. Tuition was free, but board could cost up to three dollars per week. The YMCA strongly supported the new school, with four men in the YMCA hierchy becoming trustees to the school. In 1877, all of the initial debts for the establishing of the school had been repaid, and two important men had joined the faculty: Luther Halsey Gulick and Oliver C. Morse. Robert Roberts was the first person to be placed in charge of the P.E. program, and within two years, at the age of 23, Luther Halsey Gulick became Roberts successor. The school’s growing P.E. programs established a need for more athletic fields, and a larger campus. Fortunately, both needs were satisfied with the purchase of property on Alden Street. ID S jf 6 V f r ( 3 Luther Halsey Gulick The inverted Triangle was adopted as the school's emblem three months before the first comencement ceremonies,. The symbol was devised by Luther Halsey Gulick and symbolized the unit of many in his spirit, mind and body. When Dr. Reed retired, Henry S. Lee reluctantly agreed to become president. During his two year term, Lee saw the invention of basket ball. Professor James Naismith needed a game to keep the students active between football and baseball, and therefore the game of basket ball came into being. (There is not a misspelling of the word. Originally, the game was two words, but numerous mispellings has caused it to be known as basketball today.) The cornerstone for the first building on the “new” campus was laid on May 12, 1894. This building is now known as the Administration Building. Originally, the building had classrooms, dorm rooms and offices. It was five stories tall, but had the top three floors removed during World War II, after being found structurally unsound by the government. 4 Faculty 1885: I. J.P. Browne; 2. Rev. C.S. Rogcr .

M.D. The need for a full-time president arose and in 1896, Dr. Lawrence Locke Doggett accepted the position of president, not becauses of the salary or academics, but because of the enthusiasim displayed by the young students. His presidencey lasted 40 years from 1896-1936. One of Doggetts decisions that drastically changed the position of the president, was that ALL fund-raising for the school should be established and maintained by the president. This new venture started slow'ly, and after a few costly mistakes, Doggett learned that the right way to raise funds was not to set the goals higher than expected. The sky was not the limit. Doggett’s fund raising activities helped to establish new buildings. By the 25th anniversary, the school had Pratt Field ready for dedication, a gymnasium ready for it’s cornerstone and the library ready for ground breaking activities. 5 During World War I, the effect of the war took it’s toll. The size of the classes were reduced, the faculty was reduced and the number of students and alumni that were killed in the war grew. The first class to graduate after WWI was the class of 1920. The members of that class donated a pair of plaques that were hung at the entrance of the Marsh Memorial Library. One carried the American’s Creed and the other carried the names of graduates who gave their lives during the war. In 1921, students petitioned the trustees that the name of the school be changed from The International Young Men’s Christian Association College to Springfield College. The suggestion was taken, and Springfield College was to be the name used. However, the former name of the school was used for the next thirty years on diplomas and stationary. At the end of summer classes in 1927, the announcement was made that women would be admitted to SUMMER classes the following year. Alumni Hall was dedicated in the fall of 1927, after an extensive fund drive was successful. 1932 saw the establishment of an Arts Sciences division at Springfield College, caused by the Depression and declining enrollment. In 1936, the school received sad news. President Doggett submitted his resignation after serving the school for 40 years. World War II greatly effected the campus. In 1944, the school’s campus was used as an Air Force training bas and Alumni Hall was used as a naval hospital. When the Navy left SC, the college persuaded them to donate a huge drill hall from Sampson Naval Station near Geneva, NY. This became the new Memorial Field House. After Stone’s retirement and the election of an interim president, a new president was selected. He was Rev. Dr. Glenn A. Olds. The Olds’ years saw the building and dedication of Massasoit Hall, Lakeside Hall, Reed Hall, International Hall, Appleton Hall and Schoo Hall. His presidency saw the school granted the right to award Bachelor of Arts degrees; the students voted to declare two cafes “off limits” and to bar the sale of cigarettes on campus. Olds also saw the celebration of the school’s 75th anniversay. Rev. Olds was the person who persuaded Art Linkletter to visit Springfield College. (Mr. Linkletter was to attend SC, but because of the Depression, finances would not allow it.) One year after first visiting Springfield, Art was awarded an Honorary Doctorate, and then elected as a Trustee the following year. Mr. Linkletter's work as a Trustee includes: fundraising for the Natatorium, which bears his name, the P.E. Complex, and the Fuller Art Building. In September of 1951, the first women entered Springfield College. The gift of Abbey Hall by Emily F. Abbey Gill was used as the first women’s dorm. The ivy that now adorns many of the buildings was brought to Springfield in 1953 by it's new president, Donald C. Stone. He and his 2 daughters planted 30 English Ivy plants. The various location included: the Memorial Filed House, Abbey Hall, Alumni Hall and a few other locations. His reasoning? In Stone’s words: “When I came to Springfield, I found the creeping professors in abundance but not much of the creeping ivy.” During the presidency of Stone, Springfield saw the adoption of a policy that would award scholarships on the basis of need, NOT athletic ability. Another change was the printing of “Springfield College” on all diplomas, and the school was pulled out of the red and placed in the black by Stone. 8 In April of 1966, Wilbert E. Locklin was sworn in. He was the Trustees unanimous choice as the new president for Springfield College. One of Locklin’s first dilemmas was the financing of the natatorium. It was Art Linkletter who helped. He donated his Beverly Hills estate and encouraged I OCX) students to raise $25,000 during a work week. Locklin was responsible for adding 5.3 acres and 5 buildings to the campus within his first three months as president. The natatorium was completed and dedicated in the fall of 1967. Linkletter defeated Professor Charles “Red” Sylvia in a 50-meter crawl-stroke. This was just the beginning. Under President Locklin, the school has seen the construction of Cheney Hall, in 1968; the relocation of the football field to where Benedum Field now stands; the construction of the Babson Library, Gulick Hall; the remodeling of four buildings into classrooms, a student health center and an arts building.

All of us realize that The late sixties saw demands placed on the administration by the students and the occupation of the Administration Building and Massasoit Hall more than once. These actions resulted in arrests for trespassing, suspensions and even some expulsions. 11 1972 saw the first student elected to the Board of Trustees. This move allowed the senior Student Trustee full voting priviledges and a junior Student Trustee-elect the right to sit in on meetings but not the right to vote. The school’s pub was established when the legal drinking age in Massachusetts was dropped to 18. School officials felt that this would reduce the risk of students driving to and from off-campus drinking spots, and thus allowing rigid control of alcohol consumption by the campus. 1973 saw the donation of $300,000 by Mrs William C. Bemis for the completion of a biology building that was named for her late husband. The next decade saw an increase in student enrollment, a student exchange program with China, the establishing of new majors, a freeze in the tuition, room and board rates, a crisis and a near crisis. On May 11, 1979, the Memorial Field House was condemned, ordered closed within 24 hours and then to be razed. Fortunately, the school had been informed of the problem 2 weeks earlier and plans for a new 3.6 million dollar structure was underway. As it turned out the new P.E. Complex ended up costing 5.3 million dollars and was completed 29 months after the condemnation of the Memorial Field House. In February of 1980, the mayor of Springfield announced that Springfield College’s East Campus was the perfect site for a new 42 million dollar high school, since it was located in the geographical center of the city of Springfield. The statement by the mayor was met with dismay and anger by all of the SC family, from the president, the school administrators and faculty to the students and alumni. Plans had been initiated to build a college chaple at East Campus, and funds had been set aside to pay for a director for the East Campus. In a speech before the school committee. President Locklin informed the city that: “If the School Committee is to get it, it will need to take it by eminent domain. Should that be attempted, the School Committee is entitled to know that I and my board, and my faculty, students, staff parents, alumni and neighbors will use every legal and ethical means to resist this needless damage to both Springfield College and the city of Springfield.” The battle for East Campus was fought and narrowly won by a 4 to 3 vote in favor of SC. This conflict resulted in a unification of the forces from both outside and within Springfield College. The Loveland Chapel was built as planned and a more organized and effective plan regarding the use of our East Campus was sought. 13 The last building to be erected during the “Locklin years” was the Fuller Arts Center. This building was different from others erected on campus in the sense that it was for the “Arts”; not a building for physical education the sciences or business areas. At first the Trustees weren’t convinced of the need or funding. One thing that convinced them of the student’s sincere interest was the donation of $1700 from the proceeds generated by productions of “Best of Broadway”. On May 4, 1984 Art Linkletter was Master of Ceremonies in the Appleton Auditorium of the new art center. On May 5, 1984 the college’s Trustees and Corporators were informed that President Locklin’s term would end on June 30th, 1985. He was quoted as saying: “Of course I’m going to miss being president of Springfield College and I do love the job a great deal, but I really love the college more than the job.” 14 During SC’s 100 years, traditions have come and gone. Some of the traditions that seem to have faded arc: the decoration of Henry S. Lee’s grave with flowers on commencement day; the illuminated canoe parade on Lake Massasoit; the tradition of throwing seniors into the lake. Sadly, the one tradition that showed the most dedication from the students has gone also. This tradition was that the seniors would remove any stumps and roots on the site for a new building, leaving the digging of the foundation (the easier task) for the underclassmen. The tradition of not smoking on campus was established in 1927, and if any senior was a known smoker, their name would be given to any potential employer, informing them of the fact. The ban of no smoking extended off-campus even to freshmen as long as they wore their green beanies. Today, freshmen only wear their beanies for a few days. When the school was younger, Freshmen had to wear their beanies until the spring, when they became upperclassmen. This ends the first century of Springfield College. The next 100 years begins with President Falcone heading the students, faculty and personnel of Springfield College. To him, the present and future faculty, students and graduates of Springfield College we pass on and entrust the traditions and excellence of the Springfield College family.

While playing up to its full potential Springfield has proven its ability to be competitive with the very best teams in the na- tion. Inconsistency, however, plaguing the team dur- ing much of the season, resulted in a number of close, heartbreaking losses. The 1984 season was extended, as the college hosted the NCAA Division I championship and the team itself traveled to England, combining field hockey competition, touring and enjoying the friendly hospitality of British families.
