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

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
