In what some call "the golden days of American higher education," the tough­ est job for Admissions Offices through­ out the country was perhaps processing all of the applications and choosing the best and brightest candidates. The realities confronting virtually every private college are succinctly stated in a report by Springfield Col­ lege's Task Force on Enrollment Man­ agement: liThe next five years will force most educational institutions to deal with a significantly different environment than has been enjoyed over the last two decades. This period will reflect the sig­ nificant reduction in the number of 18 year olds who have traditionally made up the majority of Springfield's under­ graduate enrollment. The projections suggest an average drop of 16% (nation­ ally) in this age group over the next five years. This decline is accentuated by the corresponding demographic move­ ment towards the Sunbelt.

15 International Students Enjoy Their First Thanksgiving SC Family Opens Its Doors to Students

When it comes to capturing the spirit of Americana, especially when it involves a tradition as cherished as Thanksgiving, no one can come close to achieving a sense of family warmth on canvas better than Norman Rockwell did. Springfield College has many of its own Norman Rockwells when it comes to sharing the holidays with others, especially those international students who find it impossible to return to their homelands during such a short holiday break as Thanksgiving. 16 But the pictures they paint are not families usually gather to celebrate and land while many remained in the Spring­ preserved on canvas for all the world enjoy a sumptuous meal. field area at the homes of fellow students, to see.

Ted decided to retire last Spring. But two of his players from the football teams that he coached for 17 years could not allow Te,d to simply walk away from a college that has been so very fortunate to have benefited from his dedication to both the students and the institution. Scott H. Taylor, the college's Director of Student Activities, and Dr. Richard Whiting, Sprinfield's Counseling Center Director as well as Taylor's roommate and teammate in the early 1960s organi'zed the testi­ monial dinner. Reflecting on Dunn's influence upon athletics, the 40-year-old Taylor has said, "There is a special bond amog all of us because of Ted Dunn." But Ted's relationship with athletics is only a part of his story. In 1975 he stepped down as head football coach. At the age of 55 and with a Master's Degree, he could 'have remained in the classroom doing a superb job teaching. But Ted felt he needed a doctorate to make a complete contribution. He en­ rolled in a doctoral program at Boston University. When research and course loads demanded it, he rented an apart­ ment and stayed in Boston. In 19S1-at Dr. Edward T.

38 The Boathouse on the shores of Lake M{:lssasoit served for 40 years as the college's center for aquatics instruction. It was erected in 1901 through the efforts of the students and, as liThe Massasoit" yearbook stated, "through the generous gift of Mr. Frank Beebe of Holyoke." The building was physically constructed by the members of the Class of 1901, who were assisted by the faculty in clearing the'land behind where the Beveridge Center now stands. Even President Laurence Locke Doggett was a frequent presence among the diggers at the time. The fate of the building, however, remains in question. In 1941, with the advent of World War II, few students could be found on campus and communication was at a minimum. If any alumnus has information about the ultimate demise of the building, we'd appreciate hearing from you.
