16 Pathway's to the Present A History of UAH
The story of the University of Alabama really began in Huntsville while it served as the temporary state capital from June through December of 1819. Included in the first state constitution, adopted on August 2, 1819, was a provision for the acceptance of two townships of land which had been donated by the federal government for the purpose of establishing a seminary of higher learning for the State. On December 17, the first state legislature voted to create a commission to handle the sale of these lands in order to provide the funds for the actual creation of the institution. The offi cial acts establishing the University were passed during the next three years while the state capital was located at Cahawba. After a decade of concerted effort on the part of the Board of Trustees, the University finally opened its doors to students on a campus located at Tuscaloosa, then the currentcapital of Alabama.
For more than 125 years Madison County sent many of its potential leaders to Tuscaloosa, to be educated, but eventually people of the Tennessee Val!ey sought to bring the University's educational opportunities to their own doorstep. On September 1, 1966, the University of Alabama in Hunts ville became one of the three campuses of the University of Alabama. The creation of UAH was the culmination of a period of growth and develop-
17 ment which began as an idea twenty years earlier. With the aid and co operation of interested citizens and local governments, the University of Alabama began the operation of a small undergraduate program on Jo·n urory 6, 1950, in temporary quarters at Butler High School furnished by the Madison County Boord of Education.
The instructional program gradually expanded to include both undergrad uate ond graduate degrees. Initially this program wos designed to meet the needs of evening students; but in 1964, the University committed its re sources to the development of undergraduate degree programs in Hunts ville in the College of Arts ond Sciences and in the College of Engineering. Undergraduate degrees were awarded for the first time in May of 1968. Continuous graduate instruction began in the fall of 1955, and since 1963 graduate degree programs hove been available at the Huntsville Campus in o number of fields closely related to the scientific and techno logical complex of the area. A special continuing education program on a non-credit basis has been developed to include a variety of short-courses, seminars, conferences, institutes, and similar activities designed to meet the needs of specific groups ot both the undergraduate and graduate level of instruction.
1B The Research Institute, which was created by the University of Alabama in 1960, enables many faculty members to conduct research related to the aerospace and physical sciences.
The Huntsville Campus consists of 326 acres located within the city limits and adjacent to lands zoned by the City of Huntsville for a resea re~ park. In 1959 the University of Alabama received a donation of eighty-three acres of land upon which to construct permanent buildings. The city of Huntville and Madison County governments then contributed $250,000 each toward the construction of Morton Hall, th,e first building on the campus. Later, additional acreage was purchased by these governing bodies to in sure orderly growth of a unified campus. The Research Institute Building, provided by the State of Alabama, was completed in 1964. In the fall of 1966, the Graduate Studies Building was completed to house administra tion and faculty offices, classrooms, and additional library space. Funds for this structure were given by citizens and industries of the Tennessee Valley ($900,000) and by the United States government through the Higher Education FacilitiesActof1963 ($420,000).
19 Four additional buildings now under construction are being financed by a state bond issue, federal grants, and loans. The first stage of a library com plex which will eventually contain four units is located in such a way as to form the hub around which a number of academic buildings will be clustered. The second of these structures will house the instructional labora tories for science and engineering; and the third will serve as an all purpose building containing classrooms, faculty offices, large lecture rooms and facilities for the fine arts. The fourth, a student union building, will pro vide spaces for a bookstore, dining facilities, assembly halls, a lounge, and varied student activities.
The rapid growth of all aspects of the University's activities has closely paralleled the dynamic development of Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama as a center of culture, education, research and industry.

The Univo/a had four editors: the first, Frankie Glynn, is now working for the Huntsville Times; the second, William Simmons, is busineu manager of " exponent"; Pat Stephens works for Computer Sciences and occasionally tokes cauues al UAH; and John Sheppe is now editor of " exponent." " exponent" came to UAH on January l 5, 1969, a complete deporture from the old Un ivola. Greater insight into the news was combined with o more modern, open layout. Innovation became the hallmark of "exponent." More emphasis was placed on interpretation by the staff.

87 The Huntsville Village Singers
The Village Singers ore the second oldest choral organization eicisling on the UAH cam pus. First organized in Jonuory of 1967 under the leode'5hip of Or. 0 . Royce Boyer, a small group of twelve singers began on ambitious program of Broadway pop tunes interspersed with choral chamber music. The addition of choreography to the lighter music provided increased stimulus lo both the songs and the Singers. After but three months of reheorsol, the Village Singers were informed by Or. Boyer that on extended lour through six Southeostem hod been planned for la te April of that yeor. The highlight of the tour was the oppeorence of the Singers ot Shreveport's " Holiday in Dixie," on annual spring festival. Among other performances scheduled were engagements ot Centenary College, olso ol Shreveport, and the little Rock Air Force Bose. Of course, th e group also performs in ond around Huntsville, and in its two and o half year existence hos sung before many clubs and social orgonizotions in North Alobomo, running the gamut from church affiliations to garden clubs. The spring tour in 1968 Included an op peorence al LaGrange College in Georgia and several performances on the woy there. Never having exceeded more than twelve members at a rime, the Huntsville Village Singers ore afforded a unique opportunity to achieve o blend and balance unobtainable In choirs of a larger size. This fact a lso enables each member lo know and oppreclote others in the group, form lasting friendships, and rejoice in the knowledge that he or she ls a vita! part of a vibrant organization.

World Perspective Club The World Perspective Club hos been an active organization al UAH since 1966, making it one of the oldest club-groups on campus. Formerly known as the Hi1tory Club, the name was changed in the fall of 1968. Although mainly initiated far the purpose of af fording history majors and minors a forum for di1eu1sing current events on the world scene, it has been found that students not directly connected lo the field of history have also token on interest in the Club. One of the greatest benefits derived from attendance at the World Perspective's monthly meetings is the studenr's unique opportunity to meet and diKuu favorite topics and ideas with professors in o friendly and "homey" atmos phere not easily attainable in the classroom.

At first there wos no great enthusiasm over the idea but eventually the idea gained support. In the coming months o group of interested students were gathered together ot this school, believe it or not, with the ambition of putting the first yearbook together for UAH. Finally after lengthy discussions with students, faculty, administrators and numerous represent atives of Yearbook printen, oll trying to sell us their product, the yearbook committee h Jd some ideo what the yearbook business wos all about. By the middle of the summer quarter of 1968, an elec:tion wos held to decide who should be editor of this new adventure In learning. In the following months the new editor and his staff attempted to negotiate o contract with o yearbook publisher. Flnally in October of 1968 the Univer sity and the Yearbook Stoff decided upon a publisher. Para gon Yearbooks were granted the honor of publishing the first book in the history of the University of Alaboma in Huntsville. The energetic, idealistic group of students who had volun teered to edit the first yearbook far the University began to find out that building a yearbook from scratch is no easy job. The staff started out with about thirty interested students and soon under the preuure and fire of the work that was to be done, began lo slowly disappear into the thin a ir of no telling where. As the year pragreued the yearbook some how managed to survive to its finally publicotion date. The dedication of a sl im few students kept the idea alive and they deserve all the credit and acclaim for the publication of this inagural edition. Acknowledgement should be given to the following students for their work in producing this publi cation: Kathy Register, Shirley Camus, Steve Taylor, Dwight Stinnett, Carol Hoffman, Joe Adcock, Terry Breyman, Janet Foutch, Jim Henderson, Bill Coffey, Greg Geis, WIii iam Sim mons, Jim Duland and numerous other students. Appreciation also is extended to the members of the Publications Board who gave the Staff moral support in its times of need and troubles: Dr. Bond, Mr. Michael Labouve, John Scheppe and others. In closing the inagural publication of DEBRIS 1969, a gathering of fragments of student life, I hope you have en joyed our attempt to present the 1969 year in plint. TOM CONWELL EDITOR IN CHIEF P.S. This Is a note to future editors and students that should be followed: Roll up your sleeves, lose some sleep, miss some meals, get involved. 158 159 160
