International Students at MSNS, 1856-1920 Created by Janet Dotterer The Lancaster County Normal Institute Catalog for 1855 lists 38 female students and 96 male students. As expected a majority of the students came from Lancaster County but out of the 134 students listed 26 students came from outside the county. We had students from the following counties in Pennsylvania: Beaver, Bucks, Cambria, Chester, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Lebanon, Montgomery, Perry, Susquehanna, Washington, Wayne and York. Plus we had a male student from New York, NY and another male student from St. George’s, Delaware. Our first international student, F.J.P. Varro, is listed in the 1856-1857 catalogue as coming from Strasburg, France. Mr. Varro is mentioned in letters home from Sallie Bolton, a fellow student, noting that he will be taking mathematics. After leaving Millersville, Mr. Varro moved to Washington, PA in the western part of the state. He joined the Pennsylvania Militia during the Civil War, serving in September 1862. He died in 1868 in Dixmont, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Following Mr. Varro, there were a handful of students who traveled a great distance to attend MSNS: George E. Huey, from Londonderry, Ireland, attended in 1858-1859. There were no international students attending MSNS between 1860 and 1865. However, 28 students traveled from out of state to attend the Normal School during the 1860-1861 school year, including Ursula Cushman from Portland, Maine; Fanny M. Haley from Boston, Massachusetts and George N. Church from Vicksburg, Mississippi. Our next international students were G. W. DeLeon, from Kingston, Jamaica, attended in 1865-1866; Bessie, Lillian and William Eastty, from Montreal, Canada, attended in 1868-1869; Charles Rowe, from Cornwall, England, attended in 1869- 1871; and Florence Geary, from London, England, attended 1870-1871. According to the catalogue they only attended one year and did not graduate so we have no record of what became of them. This was true for many of the early students. After one year of schooling they could get a job teaching and rarely returned to actually earn their degree. Prior to 1880 a majority of the international students were from Europe, the exception being our three students from Canada and one from Jamaica. After 1880, the majority of our international students came from Central and South America, though there were students from other parts of the world as well. According to the catalogs there were students from the following countries at MSNS between 1880 and 1920: Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico, The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Trinidad, Honduras, Colombia, Ecuador, Great Britain, Japan, India, South Africa, Switzerland, Spain and Ontario. In all, 164 students traveled from around the world to attend MSNS between 1856 and 1920. 1856-1857: F.J.P. Varro Strasburg, France 1858-1859: George E.

Santiago, Cuba Portuondo, Petro Santiago, Cuba There were many ways students could participate in the everyday life of MSNS: the literary societies, athletics and social organizations. The international students were active in these many pursuits, with the most participation in athletics. Jose Villalon played forward on the basketball team; Miguel Cocco played guard on the basketball team and played end on the football team, and was President of the class in 1907; Juan Villa played left field on the 1907 baseball team; Lorenzo Ruiz played infield on the baseball team in 1905 and 1907, and right end on the 1906 junior football team; Manuel Casares played outfield on the 1905 baseball team; Lorenzo Alvarez played left halfback and Antonio Martinez played right half back on the 1908 junior football team; J.C. Lopes played on the football team from 1912 through 1914 and on the basketball team from 1913 through 1915, earning a varsity letter; Ramon Caceres was a substitute on the 1912 prep basketball team.. Juan Estiu played flute in 1902 Normal Orchestra; Jose Portuando was an assistant patrolman on the Life Saving Corps and Andres Fernandez was in the 1902 Military Company.

Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo Zaballa, Ramon Santa Clara, Cuba The two students from Japan were children of an MSNS graduate who was a missionary in Japan. The Rev. Irwin H. Correll, Class of 1871, chose to send his daughters to his alma mater in 1903- 1904. Ethel and Florence Correll were two of the Rev. Correll’s eight children. It appears that they were the only two children he chose to send to MSNS. In later years he wrote one of his daughters had chosen to teach kindergarten and be a missionary in Japan but was stricken and died. Since he does not name the daughter we do not know if it was one the daughters that attended MSNS. Alvarez, Lorenzo J. Santiago, Santo Domingo Batlle, Augusto Santiago, Santo Domingo Bory, Charles R.

  • The City of Kenner
    CITY OF KENNER OFFICE OF THE MAYOR MICHAEL S. YENNI EMILE LAFOURCADE MAYOR ASSISTANT TO THE MAYOR, PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2010 NICARAGUA ASSN. OF LA. SPONSORS SANTO DOMINGO FESTIVAL Patron of Managua, other Latin Nations Honored Kenner’s Heritage Park, in the heart of old Rivertown, will be the focal point Saturday, August 14,for the 10th annual observance of “El Tope de Santo Domingo,” Sponsored by the Nicaragua Association of Louisiana. Rafael Saddy, events coordinator for the organization, said the celebration, which runs from 3 to 10 p.m., will feature music and other entertainment, special Hispanic cuisine, folklore dances and dresses and the selection of a festival queen. Saddy said at the end of the 19th Century in Managua, there was the discovery of a small statuette of St. Dominic that was believed to have mystical powers and it soon became an object popularly sought after for viewing by a growing number of people. Dominic de Guzman was popular in the New World and New Orleans as the founder of the Dominican Order of priests and nuns. The Order of Preachers, as they are known, staffed a college, a high school and several church parishes in this region. But the small statuette in Managua, Saddy said, provoked the start and evolution of a massive traditional festivity there that is colorful and full of fervor and happiness which ultimately transformed into patron saint festivities of the capital city. Every August, mostly on the first days and on the tenth of the month several major streets in Managua are filled with people who come to celebrate “Minguito,” the festival of the fondly remembered little statuette.

  • San Jose State University Furnishes an Elementary School in Las Sierritas De Santo Domingo, Nicaragua
    San Jose State University Furnishes an Elementary School in Las Sierritas de Santo Domingo, Nicaragua San Jose State University (SJSU) in California has taken advantage of IRN’s Surplus Asset Reuse Program since 2010. In that time SJSU has provided more than 6,300 items of surplus furnishings to nonprofit relief and development organizations through IRN. Before SJSU started working with IRN, these furnishings – which have packed 35 tractor trailers top-to-bottom – would all have ended up in the landfill. In mid-August 2012, the SJSU let IRN know they would have several hundred pieces of classroom furniture to dispose of after a renovation project. These included student desks and chairs, file cabinets, bookshelves, work tables, and other classroom items no longer needed by the University. They asked IRN to find a match for this inventory among IRN’s worldwide network of charitable recipients. IRN identified and offered the SJSU inventory to charitable partners who are active in educational development. The shipment was quickly claimed by IRN’s longtime partner Food for the Poor (FFP). Through local partnerships and their own staff, FFP supports relief and development programs in 17 countries in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Working in partnership with the American Nicaraguan Foundation, FFP matched the SJSU furnishings with the September 15 Elementary School near Managua, Nicaragua. Coordinating the schedule with IRN, FFP ordered two overseas shipping containers to be put on trailers and dispatched to SJSU. This would be a “live load” – that is, the furnishings would not pass through a warehouse, but would be sealed into the shipping containers in San Jose, and would not see daylight again until they were unloaded at their final destination.
