Adapted for yearbook publication by David Ehrilich and edited by Stephen Kelly. 258 Worcester State College’s birth, growth, and present condition ex- emplifies and illuminates to a degree the course of American education during the last century. Just as the founding of the college’s predecessor, the Worcester Nor- mal School, was a direct product of the mid- 19th century pressures for a free and universal public school education; so too today’s state college continues to draw its vitality from contemporary social pres- sure. Needless to say, the history of the college, like American history, rarely ran smoothly and untroubled. Hostile forces such as penurious legislatures, public apathy, taxpayer revolts, wars and depr- essions often threatened its continued ex- istence. Despite the political vexations of all public institutions, and despite the fur- ther complications of its evolution from normal school through teachers college to state college, W.S.C. has for a full century displayed both resiliency and adaptability in striving to maintain its ideal of service to the community. Although 1874 is the accepted birth date of Worcester State College, a full account of its history would trace its genesis to one of the most influential educational developments of the nine- teenth century: the introduction of the normal school idea. Today it is merely a chapter in the history of education. The normal school idea of one hundred and fifty years ago, aroused high enthusiasm in the minds of reformers everywhere. That enthusiasm was transferred to both normal school students and faculty who advocated edu- cational reform, the purpose of which was to save public education. When that attitude reached Worcester some decades later it was neither new nor untried; its introduction was assisted by circumstances of social change famil- iar to most historians of the era. The state legislature’s resolution of May 26, 1871, called for the estab- lishment of a state normal school in Worcester. It not only took the first step toward today’s Worcester State College but also gave tacit recognition to the variety of forces already changing Cen- tral Massachusetts. Among those forces, none was more 259 important than the great migration from country to city, a folk movement that had been under way since the onset of the industrial revolution but which was spurred to an even greater degree by the conscription of the Civil War. Industrial cities like Worcester felt the impact of increasing population. Prior to the war in 1860, Worcester numbered 25.000 inhabitants, 5,400 of whom were school children. By 1875, however, the figure had doubled to approximately 50,000; including almost 10,000 children in both public and private schools. The county added 30,000 more to that total. Factors other than the historic shift from an agrarian to an industrial econo- my helped the dramatic increase in the number of children to be educated. The wealth generated by industrialism made it easier for municipalities to finance broader and better educational opportu- nities. The growing humanitarian spirit of the era (as exemplified by child-labor laws) freed more children for school at the very time compulsory education laws required their attendance. The organiza- tion of schools into graded systems, along with the growing centralization of power in cities and state, further affected the educational process and helped wid- en the demand for teachers. Worcester State Normal School 260 Finally the success of the normal schools elsewhere in the nation encour- aged their further development in Mas- sachusetts. There were only 12 state nor- mal schools nationally in 1860. By the time the Worcester facility opened in 1874, the number was increased to 73. Massachusetts at this time still had only four: Framingham founded in 1839, Westfield in 1839, Bridgewater in 1840, and Salem in 1854. However they were so successful in producing professionally trained teachers that agitation was soon under way in Worcester for a state nor- mal school in the city. Worcester was one of the largest population areas in the state, but lacked a state school. The State Board of Education in its 34th Annual Report in 1870, made special reference to this need and officially recommended a state normal school for Worcester. In fact the city had already recognized the obvious need. As early as 1868, under the direction of the School Committee, Colonel B.E. Chenowith, Superintendent, had instituted a city normal school. En- 261 titled the Worcester Normal and Train- ing School under the direction of Miss Delia A. Lathrop as principal and Miss Rebecca Jones as assistant, it operated out of the (then) new Dix Street School. After four years, it was moved to the Pleasant Street School (now the Oxford Street School) with Miss Jones as princi- pal. The short lived Worcester Normal and Training School graduated its last class in the summer of 1874, prior to the dedication of the new state normal school that was to become the primary source of teachers for Worcester County. In November 1870, the city committee began urging a state school in Worcester. They were convinced of the value of professionally trained normal school graduates. The award of an Honorable Mention to the city’s school system at the 1873 World Exposition in Vienna is evi- dence of Worcester’s commitment to quality education. 262 The city’s efforts were successful and the General Court in 1871 signified its approval by appropriating $60,000 to erect and equip a building. The neces- sary site was supplied by transferring a five acre lot from the land of the nearby Worcester State Hospital. The city was required to raise an additional $15,000 as its share of the expenses. As the city would now be free of the further financing for the normal school, the re- quested sum was quickly approved by the City Council On September 2, 1871, the lot was selected and all agreed that it was a good choice. It was within easy walking dis- tance of the new Union Depot then being constructed and the hub of a su- perb rail network, thus offering easy and rapid transportation. Furthermore, Hos- pital Hill (elevation 688 feet) provided seclusion, a superb view over the city, pure air, and plenty of granite to quarry the stone for the proposed structure. Designed to accomodate 200 students, the building was completed in 1874 and was dedicated on September 11, by Em- ory Washburn, a Worcester native and former Governor of Massachusetts. Four days later, on the 15 th, the doors were opened to the first of one hundred classes that followed. Sixty-nine students out of ninety applicants were accepted; tuition was free to those who intended to teach in public schools. For many years the Normal School remained a landmark of Worcester. The mansard roof, arched windows and cast- iron roof ornamentation was an appro- priate object lesson in the history of American architecture: for this was the age that sought to identify Victorian- Gothic architecture with higher educa- tion. Twenty years later the school was enlarged by the addition of a gymnasium in the newer romanesque style made popular by H. H. Richardson. Also con- structed at this time was a large princi- pal’s house and a dormitory for twenty girls called Stoddard Terrace in honor of Benjamin Stoddard of Worcester, Chair- man of the Board of Visitors and long- time champion of the school. Unhappily, aging implies deterioration and the years passed unkindly with the school. The nearby railroad which of- fered such convenience of transportation became a smoke-belching monster which attracted even more smoky factories. By 1911 Governor Foss was urging the De- partment of Education to investigate the possibility of moving the Normal Sctool to a new site. In addition he pointed to the deteriorating neighborhood, the proximity of the county jail and the In- sane Asylum, and finally, the lack of acreage for future growth. Before this adverse report, just after his appointment in 1908, Principal Lane urged relocation. He noted that most of the classrooms were located on the third and fourth floors, and since the girls already climbed to the top of the hill, then perhaps physical education require- ments could be abated. The state shortly thereafter took an option on a new lot; but World War I intervened and the plan was shelved. In 1928 after a decade of complaints, a new site was selected and construction started in 1930. The long awaited move was completed during Christmas vacation of 1931. Visitors to Normal Hill today will find little to remember the community that flourished there for so many years. Abandoned in 1932 when the school moved to its present site, the buildings soon fell into decay. Severely damaged by the devastating 1938 hurricane, the walls collapsed in ruins in 1943. A curious sidelight to the great hurricane (which placed the empty buildings on 263 E. Harlowe Russell 264 the front page of the state’s newspapers) emerged when the Board of Education undertook a crash program of emergency repairs on those teachers colleges which had been damaged. Somehow, in the rush, the abandoned normal school building was repaired at a cost of $46,000. The scandal became a cause celebre and the Commissioner of Educa- tion lost his job. The gymnasium remained standing but neglected as late as the 1 950’s before it too collapsed. However, the low stone wall surrounding the lot may still be traced under shrubbery. The handsome iron gates donated by the Graduates As- sociation in 1914 that marked the formal entrance were removed to the new col- lege. Principal Russell’s official resi- dence, now a private home, still stands at the corner of Prospect and Normal Streets. But the trees still stand, the same trees that the students planted each Arbor Day for so many years. Some are dead, but others flourish, symbolic of the nor- mal school’s ideals. They were trans- planted to the new campus but still grow as vigorously in the new environment as in the old. It was the policy of the Massachusetts Board of Education during most of the early period to deliberately choose strong leaders for the Normal Schools and to allow these men considerable latitude in shaping the institutions. In Worcester, the Board selected E. Harlow Russell to head the new normal school. In the course of his tenure of 34 years, E. Har- low Russell impressed his educational philosophy on the school, giving it some renown in educational circles. Russell created and developed an institution that over the course of a century has main- tained the priority of service both to scholars and the community. No doubt he was a bit disconcerted that his new school was comprised of only the building itself. There were no faculty, furnishings or students. Far from being discouraged, he welcomed the op- portunity to build from scratch. By open- ing day in September, 1874, the school was staffed and equiped and ready for the first of a hundred such days. A pioneer with G. Stanley Hall in what was later called the child-study movement, Prof. Russell made the Nor- mal School a laboratory for this new science. He also introduced the appren- ticeship system into the city schools rath- er than the more usual “model school”. But perhaps it was his complete dedica- tion evidenced not merely by his 35 years of inspired leadership but also his rejection of several prestigious posts. When he was invited to become the president of the Massachusetts Agricul- tural College at Amherst (now the Uni- versity of Massachusetts) and later at the Rhode Island Normal School in Provi- dence, he declined. In 1902 the Trustees of Clark University offered him the pres- idency of the newly organized under- graduate college and he made the same decision. He was also a man of wide interests. His scientific bent is evidenced by his leadership in the field of child psy- chology. His expertise was widely recog- nized. As a prominent citizen of Worces- ter, his friendships ranged from Senator George T. Hoar to Henry D. Thoreau. He acquired many of Thoreau’s papers and journals and was instrumental in their publication. A classic example of the strong-mind- ed leader who marked the early days of the normal school movement, he and others of his type were responsible for the normal schools becoming dominant in teacher education. This is all the more remarkable because of the opposition by private colleges and universities anxious to acquire this important function. 265 Fortunately Russell had established early relations with President Hall of Clark University, so that both institutions worked in a spirit of co-operation rather than rivalry. There is little doubt that in J the field of elementary teacher prepara- tion Worcester State Normal School was the leading institution in Central Mas- sachusetts in the late nineteenth century. That pre-eminence was the heritage of E. H. Russell. After his retirement in 1909, Russell returned to his boyhood home in New Hampshire. He died there in 1917. As was said during the local funeral eulo- gies, his true monument was the Worces- ter Normal School to which he dedicated his life for so many years powerfully shaping its destiny. The Board of Education was re-organ- ized and it grouped Worcester and the other state normal schools into a system under the direct control of a Commis- sioner of Education. The days of individ- ual principals and semi-autonomous schools ended. Of early, few faculty were college graduates. Many held only a normal school diploma, others came from a ca- reer of high school teaching. Neither Russell nor Miss Jones, for example, held a college degree. This was not a disadvantage; for in those formative years the emphasis was on elementary teaching. Many normal school educators were imbued with Pestalozzian principles of child oriented instructions and they felt that a liberal arts education was superfluous or harmful to sensitive teaching because it adhered to the classi- cal mode of instruction. With the passage of time and the desire for academic re- spectability, the number of college grad- uates increased slowly. However some held advanced degrees, such as Thaddeus Bolton and Frank Drew. Both had doctorates in psychology from Clark University and they taught at normal schools for a while. Indicauve of the changing times, nor- mal school graduate Russell was suc- ceeded as Principal in 1909 by Francis R. Lane, an ivi.D. irom George Washington University. In 1912, he gave way to Wil- liam B. Aspinwall, a Ph.D. from the Univei ‘y of Paris. On the whole though, Worcester Normal School’s fac- ulty remained uninfluenced by university degrees until well into the 20th century. What the faculty lacked in academic dis- tinction, they made up in longevity. By the end of the first World War, normal schools everywhere clearly aimed at college status complete with four year baccalaureate programs. Worcester State Normal took the step in 1921, broad- ening its teacher preparation course to include (for the first time) high school teaching and marking graduation with a bachelor’s degree. The now outdated two and three year programs were gradually eliminated over the next 15 years. The two year program ended by 1929 and the three-year program by 1935. From then on, all students were enrolled 266 267 in four-year programs. In 1932 the state had finally recognized the changes that occured in professional teacher education since the turn of the century and de- clared Worcester State Normal a teach- ers’ College. Along with collegiate status course content was upgraded and new courses were introduced as the new col- lege sought to live up to new standards. The early Normal School students were drawn largely from the same socio- economic class as students in the State College today. They were the children of skilled and blue collar workers and the lower-middle class who were and are upwardly mobile. So long as Worcester State remained a comparatively small school, many of its students and faculty reflected a kind of missionary fervor in the value of normal school training that is hard to grasp in the aimless nineteen-seventies. One can not peruse the records of the normal school— the apprentice diaries, the super- visors’ records, the few extant samples of student work— without sensing this belief in the special contributions of the normal school idea. They were convinced they had the formula that would invigorate and improve public school education and they were not reticent about it. No doubt they aggravated many first rate teachers of long practice who lacked formal train- ing. Some criticism arose in 1879 of the competence of the Normal School gradu- ates. However, evidence of their worth can be found in employment records in neighboring school systems. According to a poll carried out by Principal Russell, 98 of the graduates were quickly ap- pointed to teaching positions after their graduation and they continued to be re- appointed to the same or different posts each succeeding year. This is no surprise because the gradu- ates were well prepared to teach. Far too many of the state’s classrooms, particu- larly in the rural areas, were still staffed by Rip Van Winkle type teachers using their ancient methods without change. Despite the prevalent notion that the normal school students of a century ago were all girls, the records show a total of 63 males (usually one or two at a time) during the period from 1874 to 1915 at which time the school was officially re- stricted to girls. In 1940 it was re-opened to both. Other males who seemed to flourish in the predominantly female milieu were a number of graduates of liberal arts col- leges taking advantage of the special one-year course for college graduates who wished to teach. Nevertheless, when Worcesterites described the school as the “Old Maids’ Home”, they were not far from true: most of the students were girls, most of them did take up a career of school teaching and many of them did not marry (whether from economics or from preference is not known). While the men had to be at least seventeen years old to enter, the girls could enroll at sixteen. Both sexes had to be high school graduates and be able to pass entrance examinations. 268 Often overlooked in the history of Worcester Normal School is the opportu- nity offered to young women to pursue education beyond the high school level and to achieve a professional training that hopefully would lead to gainful em- ployment as a teacher. Teaching was one of the few occupations open to women at that time, and as most male dominated colleges were clearly restrictive in their admission policies for women, it was normal schools like Worcester State that for all practical purposes offered the only opportunity for women. Except for the Oread Institute (Eli Thayer’s short lived experiment in fe- male education), the introduction of the State Normal School meant that for the first time locally women had a practical and realistic opportunity to pursue their education beyond high school. The nor- mal schools were not of course colleges. With the exception of the professional courses, the curriculum was not too dif- ferent from that of a top-rank high school and naturally they did not award the bachelor’s degree. To hundreds of bright but impecunious girls, the normal school offered the only opportunity for higher education. Turn of the century classroom — Worcester Normal School 269 Each year more girls entered until th planned maximum of two hundred stu- dents was reached and then exceeded. In the beginning, old Yankee names like Proctor and Wentworth were prevalent, but as the decades passed (for this was the height of the immigration era), new names appeared on the rosters: Murphy, and Sullivan and Orfanello, Sjoquist, Cohen, Lewandowski and Tarkainen. Certainly Worcester State’s service to the community is testified by it’s long record of welcoming the children of im- migrants along with non-Native Ameri- cans. Black women also availed them- selves the opportunity. Sara Ella Wilson of the Class of 1894 was perhaps the best known because she spent almost thirty years as a dedicated teacher in Worces- ter’s Belmont School. She also had an active career in community affairs. Jen- nie Clough, who graduated ten years earlier in 1884, was the first Black girl to seize the opportunity offered through normal school education. Most of the graduates predictably be- came teachers, usually in or near Wor- cester. A surprising number, female and male, are identified as principals. At the time of the school’s fortieth anniversary, most of Worcester’s school principals were graduates of the Normal school. Certainly Worcester’s goal in 1874 of insuring a sufficiency of skilled teachers by creating a state normal school was successful. However not all were to be found in the classroom. Listed in the graduates records were stenographers, a nurse, a Radcliff student, a news report- er, a nun, a physician, a state representa- tive, a railroad station agent, and, a mis- sionary in China. There were also a host of housewives. During the normal school’s first sev- enteen years, out-of-town students were 270 foced to seek room and board with nearby families. This unsatisfactory situ- ation lasted until Stoddard Terrace, the school dormitory, was constructed in 18 9 1. It had rooms for about twenty girls. However, it included neither dining room nor kitchen and the girls still had to make their own arrangements with neighbors for meals. The usual cost was four dollars a week. Room rent was thirty-eight dollars for the school year with two girls sharing a furnished room. Generally two or three teachers also lived in the dormitory, both as a profes- sional internship and as supervision. By the time the dormitory was eliminated in 1932, the annual cost had risen to 325 dollars but that figure included meals. At all times however, Stoddard Ter- race was a happy and lively place, the scene of many dances, parties, and re- ceptions. On the other hand, the princi- pal lived next door, a couple of profes- sors upstairs, and the custodian in his basement apartment, it is doubtful if Victorian virtues were strained too far. A family spirit was created by the strict disciplinary measures. From the pages of crumbling scrap- books and yellowed photographs in the college records, the girl students of that forgotten past look out gravely as befits future teachers. Yet behind the primness one uncovers evidence of the universal nature of youth. The excitment of a mid- night stroll along the shores of Lake Quinsigamond, the fun of a hard game of tennis on the new (1904) courts, the sense of wonder and delight as the great ice storms of 1885 left the school and grounds looking Dr. Zhivago’s enchanted ice palace: all are but relics of that “land of lost content” that can never return. Worcester State Normal School in- novated student teaching in standard city Recreation Room, 1940’s 271 Stoddard Terrace 272 schools. Although it is accepted practice today, in 1874 it was a breakthrough in educational practice. From the earliest days of the normal school system, prac- tical experience in teaching was regarded as vital to the training of a teacher. Most normal schools provided this experience. The usual solution was a “model school”, one which was directly under the control of the normal school and which served as a laboratory where fu- ture teachers practiced their training on real students in a real classroom. In most cases, these model schools were located on or near the normal school campus. Pupils were drawn from the neighbor- hood and the cost of their education was usually divided between the town and the state. This system created conflicts between town and state over the equi- table sharing of costs and control. In addition, many parents objected to hav- ing their children removed from the town school to be taught not by ex- perienced teachers but bv novices. Partly to correct these flaws and partly because, he was convinced it was a supe- rior system. Principal E. H. Russell de- cided to have his normal school students practice teach in classrooms of the Wor- cester City School System. He and Re- becca Jones worked out the details, and by 1876 the First apprentices were placed in the City’s schools. The techniques de- veloped and modified at this time have proved their worth during a century of application. They are quite familiar to those hundreds of WSC education ma- jors of recent years. At First was a series of observations in certain city schools, (both kindergarten and primary grades) during the students’ third term at the normal school. In groups of six accompanied by their teacher, the normal students spent two hours a week trying to relate the prin- ciples of education as taught in the nor- mal school to what was done in a real classroom. Following this introduction to the world of teaching, the student was assigned (in her fourth term) to a city school for three six-week periods, each to be spent in a different grade. They were given as wide a variety as possible. The apprentices were graded on their teaching perform- ance by the normal school supervisors, (i.e. Miss Jones, and her co-operating teacher). In addition, each apprentice was required to write a diary of her experiences, many of which today are in the college archives. They offer testi- mony to the similarity of apprentices’ reactions then and now. On Saturdays (Sundays and Mondays were the normal school weekend almost until the First World War), the apprentices returned to the school for a series of discussions with the faculty concerning their week’s ex- periences. They also compared with each other the unexpected happenings that still astonish and delight student teach- ers. Principal Russell, like many of his counterparts elsewhere in the nation, also viewed apprentice teaching as a means of challenging the hold of the private colleges on preparing high school teach- ers. By selecting bright students for fur- ther study and then permitting them to student-teach for a full year in a Worces- ter High School rather than the usual single term, he hoped that these three year advance apprentices, could demon- strate their competence and could be acceptable in high schools as their com- petitors from the liberal arts colleges. A measure of the growing respect- ability of the normal school was its abili- ty to attract a few college graduates in- terested in Mr. Russell’s “certificated stu- dent” program. It was designed to pre- pare liberal arts graduates for the teach- ing profession. The course lasted a year and a half; two terms at the normal school studying teaching methods and one term student teaching in a class- room. Many of the graduates of this special program did go on to school teaching, but a surprising number were later enrolled in university graduate schools. Professional teacher education under- went many changes over the years as it attempted to respond to a variety of forces changing society. However the concept of apprentice teaching in city classrooms rather than the artificial envi- ronment of model schools, is as valid today as when Russell introduced it. It is no longer limited to city schools but included suburbia as well. Because of the special emphasis placed today on urban education, Russell’s insistence on ex- posing his students to that kind of ex- perience may be regarded as ahead of his time. Certainly the Federal Bureau of Education agreed when it included a whole chapter on the unique contribu- tion of Worcester State Normal in its detailed survey (published in 1891) on professional teacher education. When Principal Russell retired in 1901 and Rebecca Jones three years later, the first stage of Worcester State’s history came to an end. These were the pioneers and the shapers: given free reign to mold the institution as they thought best. They were willing to innovate and to ex- periment, yet as it is axiomatic that what is new today must be old tomorrow, fresh viewpoints were needed if the Nor- mal School were to continue its pre- eminence in its task of teacher education. The appointment of Dr. Francis Ran- 274 Student observation 275 some Lane as Principal in 1909, marks the beginning of this change. Youthful, vigorous, and outspoken, one of his first acts was to call for a new building to replace what he felt was an outmoded environment. Failing in this, he imme- diately initiated a complete overhaul and refurbishing of the classroom building. He had a long-needed kitchen and din- ing room installed in Stoddard Terrace. A believer in community relations, he made great efforts to bring the Normal School into close contact with the stu- dents’ homes and to encourage parents to participate in school affairs. The kin- dergarten movement at this time, reached a peak of popularity. It is no surprise that Lane introduced new courses for kindergarten teachers and es- tablished in the normal school building, a kindergarten for neighborhood chil- dren. Dr. Lane was clearly in keeping with the times, as noted by an historian of the era, Willis Rudy (formerly of Worcester State College). He points to the growing role of the kindergarten at this time as well as the effort to encourage parent participation which eventuated in the Parent-Teacher movement in 1908. Lane was successful in bringing the Normal School to the attention of Wor- cester in June, 1912, when with the as- sistance of Miss Ann Turner, the new director of the kindergarten, he present- ed a tremendous Children’s Play Festival on the school grounds. Over 1200 tots and their teachers attended. The multi- tude of children sang, played games, and performed folk-dances of the world. They were unaware that they were ob- ject-lessons (Pestalozzi redividus) in Dr. Lane’s attempt to encourage pro- grammed play as a proper educational device. He resigned shortly afterwards to re- turn to the principalship of the Prepara- 276 tory Institute in Brooklyn. This was a disappointment to many who hoped to see his promise developed even further. Fortunately for Worcester State, his re- placement was of the same attitude. Dr. William B. Aspinwall, 38 years old (the same age as the school) was the descendant of an old Brookline family and a Harvard graduate (1896) who earned a Ph.D. at the University of Paris in 1904. From then until his appointment as Principal in 1912, he was head of the model high school, professor, and assist- ant to the president of the New York State Normal College at Albany. He was the author of a college textbook, had numerous articles in professional jour- nals, and he encouraged his faculty at Worcester to do likewise. Before his first year of the normal school ended, Aspinwall created the first of nine annual conferences on rural edu- cation. According to one widely read history of the interrelationship between schools and society, “early in the present century educational leaders began to manifest a growing awareness that most of the educational gains in the nation had been made in the cities.” Aspinwall was one of these leaders who feared that rural education was being bypassed and he was correct. The little red school- house of tradition, stood unmoved and unchanged as progress swept around it. It was in answer to such problems as ungraded schools, a narrow curriculum, inadequate materials, poorly trained teachers and insufficient funding that Dr. Aspinwall founded his conferences. His first conference in February, 1913, was notable for his success in attracting the U.S. Commissioner of Education, the president of the National Education As- sociation, as well as state Commissioners and university experts. The conferences were continued until 1922 when they were canceled for lack of interest. Never- Original.

The discovery that 14.5% of the county’s school buildings were construct- ed prior to the War of 1812 was shock- ing. Coincidental with the gradual shift in philosophy from normal school to teach- ers college during the 1920’s, was the successful drive for a wholly new site and building. Once again the city of Worcester proved its desire to continue the school. They bought a 20 acre lot in 1928 at Chandler and May Streets -the present location— for $45,000 and do- nated it when the state finally made known its determination to replace the old school. Construction was completed in 1932 and the school moved in during the Christmas vacation. Quite appropriately, the last item removed from the normal school was a laboratory skeleton because, as Dr. Lawrence Averill of the Psy- chology department remarked as he car- ried it out, “a skeleton in a closet should be the last thing to come out of it.” The new building cost $365,000 and was a fitting home for a new college. In 1932 the Board of Education, in recogni- tion of the great changes that had taken place in teacher education, formalized the relocation by renaming the normal school as teacher’s college. The concept of professional teacher preparation in a collegiate setting was hardly new. In 1890 the state normal school at Albany had taken the lead by becoming the New York State Normal College with a four-year baccalaureate program. Motivated in part by a desire to achieve the respectability of their lib- eral arts colleagues, and in part by pres- sure from new accrediting associations that demanded college degrees for high school teaching, other normal schools across the nation began to broaden their curriculums and upgrade their content. All were pleased with the new status and consistent efforts to improve the college programs were made under the increas- ingly difficult conditions of the depressed 1930’s. The effort that came nearest to liqui- dating the college was a consequence of great depression of the 1930’s which struck industrial Massachusetts with par- ticular severity. Today Keynesian eco- nomics demands a dramatic upsurge of spending during times of depression to conteract the decline of spending in the private sector, but then the outcry was for economy in state spending and a cutback in services. Leading the call for retrenchment was a spokesman for the Massachusetts Tax- 278 payers Association who pointed to the number of unemployed teachers as well as the decline in the birthrate as suf- ficient rationale to justify closing at least some of the teacher’s colleges. As a re- sult, Governor Saltonstall in the spring of 1939, proposed to discontinue four colleges, one of which was Worcester State. When the news reached Worcester, a plan of counterattack was initiated. Local dignitaries and leading educators were urged to make public statements oppos- ing any closings while enormous peti- tions for retention were circulated and signed (16,000 names from Worcester). Publicity campaigns were started and supporting statistics were collected. By the time of the public hearing at the State House on April 18, 1939, the proponents of closing were forced to re- treat. Significantly, almost all the state teachers’ colleges stuck together in oppo- sition. They feared that if fate of these four, could easily become the fate of all should times become even harder in the future. Worcester State Teachers College ob- tained valiant support from local labor and business groups, the legislative dele- gation, city school committeemen and a hastily organized lobby of faculty, stu- dents, and parents. Senator Harold Lun- dgren of Worcester was appointed chair- man of the special committee of in- vestigation. This helped to retain Wor- cester State. With the exception of a few Clark University faculty acting as indi- viduals, little support was received from private colleges or universities. This was not the on ly attack. During the next two years, further efforts were made to reduce the number of state col- leges. A new supporting rationale came from a special committee appointed in William B. Aspinwall 280 1941 by the state legislature to re-exam- ine the teachers college question. They stressed that the only reason the colleges were originally established was to pro- vide skilled teachers for the state’s schools but that many of the students were “seeking primarily a low-cost edu- cation rather than a preparation for fol- lowing the teaching profession.” The committee recommended closing only one teachers college (this time not Worcester). Those students seeking a low-cost education were, in spirit if not in fact, the fore-runners of the post war movement that insisted on state subsi- dized college education. They not only eliminated further closure efforts but also helped to bring about the con- version of the colleges themselves from teacher training institutions to liberal arts colleges. The depression was a serious set back for Worcester Teachers College. Faculty today fighting hard for salary increases to cope with inflation would no doubt be shocked by the faculty fears of the 1930’s which were more concerned with the amount of proposed salary cuts as the state sought every avenue of retrench- ment. Not only salaries, but all areas of operation suffered during those years. This was not the only near disaster for Worcester State. In 1948 just as the post- war growth era was starting, a proposal was entered in the state legislature to have the newly established University of Massachusetts absorb both the profes- sional teacher training function of at least six of the teachers colleges (Worces- ter included) as well as reducing their status to that of junior colleges by restric- ting their programs to the first two years of college work. It passed in the House, but it was fortunately killed in the Sen- ate. A report of the presidents of the State Teachers Colleges as late as 1940 com- plained bitterly of the drastic cutbacks (in legislative appropriations) which forced curtailment of maintainance, sup- plies, and other necessary equipment. New sources of revenue were explored and for the first time since the opening of school, an annual tuition fee of $50.00 was imposed on students in 1934, and was increased again to $75.00 in 1940. The student body increased in number in the early part of the depression. Many high school graduates decided to delay their entry into the shrinking job market and remain in school. But the numbers began to drop noticeably as the depres- sion wore on. News that only six of the 28 graduates in 1938 were able to find teaching positions naturally tended to discourage students even more. Even though President Carpenter set aside the “girls only” policy in 1940 in a vain effort to counteract the diminishing enroll- ment, the numbers continued to de- crease. World War II almost destroyed the college as young men left for the armed services and girls flocked to better paying defense jobs. By 1943, only 121 students were enrolled, while at the war’s end, barely one hundred were enrolled. The total graduating class of 1945 numbered less than the members of the college’s student government today. With the en- tire student enrollment no greater than that of 1880, with too many faculty for too few students, a neglected plant, in- sufficient funding, and a general sense of drift, the future was dim. Fortunately circumstances turned out quite differently. The post-war baby boom eased fears of a drop in school population. The declining college enroll- ment was quickly alleviated by the G.I. Bill which encouraged thousands of vet- erans to go to college. Turn of the century Kindergarten class 282 The class of 1950 numbered over 60, about double the freshman class of the year before and six times larger than the graduating class. From this point on, the increase never stopped: 456 in 1950, 520 in 1955, 911 in 1960, 1493 in 1965, 2752 in 1970 and 3093 in 1973. Women out- numbered men by approximately two to one. The underlying cause of the rush to college transcended the G.I. Bill. The real source was a new attitude toward higher education expressed by Ameri- cans in the years after the war, an atti- tude that rejected the i dea that the ben- efits of college education should continue to be the prerogative of those social and economic classes who traditionally ben- efited in the past. Young people from all walks of life sought the better life offered through a college degree. This was a generation that grew and developed during the era of enormous growth of governmental power often a great depression and a great war. They accepted the idea of public higher education as an enormous opportunity. One writer has referred to them as “children of forgotten Americans.” They were the offspring of those who could never attend college: the immigrant des- cendents, the lower middle and the working classes, and the minorities. Their appearances at colleges bore an amazing resemblance to the popular demand for broadened educational opportunities that brought the Massachusetts normal schools into being a century before. In any case, for Worcester State their attendance meant not merely growth measured by number but an expansion of courses, programs, and resources that exceeded anything in the college’s past, an expansion whose ultimate impact was to bring about the final step in the pro- gression from Normal school, to teachers college, to state college. A growing num- ber of new students no longer desired the kind of teaching-oriented education that historically the college had offered. Because of this pressure, the curricu- lum in the 1950’s underwent a steady increase of liberal arts and science courses more characteristic of private colleges. When the Board of Education in 1960 voted to retitle Worcester State and its sister institutions as state colleges rather than teachers colleges, it was a recognition of a change already accom- plished in fact. The leadership of the college during these years of expansion sustained equal- ly significant changes. President Clinton C. Carpenter’s (1940-1946) sudden death in office, shook the staff considerably but Professor Albert Farnsworth of the His- tory department ably managed affairs as acting president until the Trustees named a permanent president. Chosen was a former native of Worcester and Holy Cross graduate, Eugene A. Sullivan. He was at ease in the state college system because of his many years of service at Fitchburg State Teachers College. It was Dr. Sullivan’s difficult task to oversee and direct the tremendous growth at Worcester State. Much of his help came from three deans who also had to teach classes (Dr. Joseph Shea, Academic Dean; Dr. Walter Busam, Dean of Men; and Miss Vera Dowden, Dean of Women also was an office staff that never numbered more than five). As the escalation continued unabated, the building designed in 1932 to accom- odate 300 students became insufficient. Efforts to gain state approval for addi- tion were brought to fruition in 1958 when the building at the western end of the Administration building was com- pleted. This added several classrooms as well as a new library, a gymnasium, and a larger cafeteria. These facilities were desperately needed as students of that era will easily recall. 284 Student symphathies in early 1960’s Any hopes of permanent relief how- ever, were not realized. Within three years of the addition of the new build- ing, the college population passed the thousand mark, a staggering growth compared to the hundred of only fifteen years before. With the opening of the Science Building in 1965, classroom space almost doubled. Its superb labora- tory facilities permitted the introduction of course work on a level previously unattainable. Paralleling the student explosion was a similar jump in faculty as the state policy demanded a student-faculty ration of 16:1. In this case though the increase was not merely numerical, it encompassed a diversity of background and scholarship uncommon in the state colleges. These were the years when a dozen or more new faculty would be added each sum- mer, drawn from universities across the nation and in some cases from across the world. As growth continued, plans were laid for a new library and for a student hous- ing complex, both to be located on the hill to the rear of the old college despite some doubts concerning the wisdom of such expansion. Both buildings were completed after lengthy and frustrating delays, in 1970 and 1972 respectively. The library is now called the Learn- ing Resource Center in deference to its vastly broadened scope. Chandler Village is a cluster of semi-attached student apartments far different from its pre- decessor, Stoddard Terrace. For twenty-three years, President Sul- livan successfully coped with endless problems of unparalled growth, a changed collegiate status, new higher ed- ucational philosophies and a much more complex bureaucratic structure. He re- tired in the Spring of 1970 and was replaced by Robert E. Leestamper, the sixth in line since E. Harlow Russell. The selection process of Dr. Leestam- per (Harvard, 1964) consisted of student and faculty input. It is an indication of Main gates to WNS, 1900’s Present site of gates 285 the changed times. His extensive back- ground in college administration at the Universities of New Mexico and Min- nesota. enable him him to expedite the further transition of Worcester State to a throughly modern, multi-purposed state college, one wholly in the mainstream of contemporary higher education. He was hardly on the campus when Cambodia and Kent State lit the fuse that had been smouldering on college campuses everywhere. Although a tense and exciting period for all at Worcester State, good sense prevailed and major confrontations were avoided. The col- lege ' s enrollment in 1970 reached a new high of 2,752. Approximately 200 were student nurses from various city hospitals who obtained one year of their training at Worcester State in a co-operative pro- gram. Still in existence, it is scheduled to be replaced in 1974 by a four year bac- calaureate program in nursing to be of- fered by the college itself. The college’s entry into occupational education like nursing is an indicator of the thrust of collegiate education in the 1970’s; as all colleges seek to meet stu- dent needs. Once limited by law to teacher education, Worcester State Col- lege now offers full programs in nursing, business administration, health services, library sciences, speech disorders, as well as in the traditional liberal arts. Despite the current setback in teacher education, almost 37% of the students are still en- rolled in education. Certainly change, innovation, and fer- ment are as characteristic of Worcester State in 1974 as of Worcester Normal in 1874. Then and now, powerful social forces have stimulated change that seems to increase each year. The college is forced to keep abreast of these changes. The faculty of 1974 is not only forty times larger than the founding faculty, nor is it simply a matter of greater diver- sity and higher professional status. Today the faculty is a much more asser- tive group as seen by its decision in 1972 286 to replace its Faculty Council with a more militant union. It was an effort to exercise greater control over their work- ing conditions. Students have also responded to the temper of the times. Their demands for a larger share of the governance of the college would not have been possible during the somnolent 1930’s. Matching the growth of faculty and students is an equal expansion, of admin- istration, much of which has been occa- sioned by the particular need to enlarge student services to a level never before imagined. Veterans, special students, mi- nority members, and others new to the college pose challenges not previously evident. Externally, Worcester State College welcomed the move in 1970 to strength- en the academic structure of the overall Worcester area by joining the Con- sortium of 1 1 colleges. This program en- ables students of all member colleges to cross register for courses at any other consortium college. Not all changes have been positive. Less government support has resulted in an unhappy competition on the part of concerned college leaders for shrinking financial resources. President Leestamper has been most active in the struggle to ensure continued adequate funding for public higher education; not an easy task in a state that is noteworthy for the prestige— and influence— of its private col- leges. Most members of the Worcester State College community (students, faculty ad- ministration and alumni) look on their college’s past with a degree of satisfac- tion and approval. When Principal Rus- sell announced that Worcester State Nor- mal could best serve the community by skilled and capable teachers, he estab- lished an ideal which the successor in- stitutions have continued to maintain. For one hundred years the students and faculty of Worcester State College have strived to uphold the principle of service to the community. Site of WNS today 287 288 SENIOR DIRECTORY ABDELMASEH.

We hope that we have dealt with W.S.C. and her history in a manner which renders respect. We the yearbook staff, wish to extend our sincere congratulations to State for a “Century of Service” and wish her luck in her future years. In attempting to produce a yearbook such as this, which concerned itself with not only the Senior Class but with W.S.C.’s 100th anniversary, more hours of work and involvement were necessary than what I believe, we on the staff had initially imagined. Without the assistance of a good many people, this publication could never have been possible. Steve was a “Godsend”; not only did his photographic talents make our lay-out more professional, but his patience and hospitality in inviting us to his home for our meetings made the job a bit more understanding. A special thanks goes to Jackie who shared with us her husband, her home and those much appreciated cups of coffee. Without the co-operation and dedication of Simonne and Leslye, I don’t believe Steve and I could have persevered for so long. And last but not least, appreciation goes to Joseph Madden for his many laughs and fine service, and to J. Joseph Donovan for his time and assistance. Sincere thanks to you all for a new and rewarding experience. 318 Official Centennial Class Yearbook Photographer Adams Studio 255 North Street Fitchburg , Ma. 01420 320 While Yet There Is Time Unknown The hours slip past; our moments meet into the eternity behind us; Time sweeps us on to a destination from which there is no return . . . While yet there is time look out upon the world, devour it with your eyes, and, if your spirit demands more, add at least one stone to the edifice being built. Fill your lungs with the smell of flowers: let the first cool breath of dawn blow through your hair. While there is time let us greet the dawn together: While there is time love, and be loved: Let our thoughts throw light in dark places. Let your lips blossom in a smile. While there is time let the hand of a friend feel the warmth of your hand. How much we have to do, to create, to express! While yet there is time graft a slender bough to a mighty tree. Do not say, “I love everyone be merciless to your enemies, be tender to your friends. While yet there is time live, labor, but live and labor so that when you are gone everyone will see that where you once were an emptiness yawns. 9 WM. J. KBLLBR A DIVISION Of HEKFF JONES . IUFFAIO.
