Office of the President (508) 697-1201

Dear Alumni and Friends

Within the past several weeks we have observed at Bridgewater two special events, each wonderful in its own right and together representative of a college whose oldest and proudest traditions take on new dimen­ sions in a modern era. Winter Commencement was held on January 29th, and more than 600 undergraduate and graduate degrees were presented. This was the seventh annual, and in terms of numbers of graduates, the largest winter ceremony to date. A quarter-century ago, 600 graduates would have been nearly as many as received diplomas in the entire year. Further, among the undergraduate degrees presented, the single field with the greatest number of graduates - Management Science, with exactly 100 - wasn't even offered as a major a dozen years ago. At the same time, the number of undergraduate degrees awarded in the School of Education remains very strong - in total, 120. These figures confirm to me that Bridgewater maintains its roots while broadening its academic vision in a healthy manner. I note too that among the graduates there were 154 Massachusetts cities and towns represented (as well as thirteen other states and one foreign country), but the overwhelming majority of degree recipients came from the southeastern region of Massachusetts. We remain a comprehensive teaching institu­ tion with a regional mission. The next evening the campus community, joined by many friends and neighbors from throughout the state, observed the fourth annual "Hall of Black Achievement Celebrations." This year marked the event's return to the College (the previous three were held in Boston) and the spirit and enthusiasm associated with this celebration are truly uplifting and inspiring. As its 1993 recipient of the "Mary Hudson Onley Award" (which is named after the College's first black graduate), the commissioners of the Hall chose The Right Reverend Barbara C. Harris, a woman who has dedicated her life to the service of others. Her acceptance speech upon receiving the Onley Award was a clarion call against injustice and discrimination and for tolerance and peace in a society still struggling to overcome prejudice in all of its form. Every year one of the genuine highlights of this event is the recognition of "Student Achievers" - minor­ ity men and women from each of the state colleges who have been selected by their institutions as examples of academic accomplishment and involvement in the lives of their schools. At Bridgewater, we were proud this year to nominate Jennifer Adams and Gisele Beard for this honor. Both exemplify those qualities of character shared by people committed to excellence in their personal and professional lives. Jennifer and Gisele are ideal role models for all of us. I know that as alumni and friends of Bridgewater you follow closely developments on campus and are interested and supportive of this College. Therefore, it is a pleasure for me to have this space in the magazine to share with you my perspectives on how Bridgewater continues to evolve and be responsive. Our sense of heritage - the College is 153 years old now - provides a solid foundation to every endeavor we approach. So too does your part in our community. If you have a comment or a suggestion, write to me and let me know. Good communication goes both ways, and I'm always delighted to hear from alumni and friends of Bridgewa­ ter. Sincerely ~r!:2::~ President (, I 4 BRIDGEWATER "

School of School of Arts & Sciences & Education An Interview with Founding Dean An Interview with Founding Dean Dr. Clark Hendley by Kimberly DeCaro Williams Dr. Ann Lydecker

In a significant movelastyear, BridgewaterStateCollege created a School ofArts and Sciences and a School of Education to head up the institution's 22 academic departments. Supporting these new schools are two founding deans -Dr. Clark Hendley, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Ann Lydecker, dean of the School of Education.

Theywerepleased to discover theysharedsimilarphilosophies and goals, and were eager to begin their tenure at Bridgewater. The role of the deans at the College is multi-fold. They are charged with overseeing the administrative functions in their areas, serving as liaisons between faculty and administration, providing advocacy and attention to interdisciplinary!interdepartmental issues, assisting in determining priorities and advocating for faculty, as well as advising on growth management.

Association President's Message

BRIDGEWATER ALUMNI ASSOCIAnON Gender Equity in College Athletics

The Education Act of 1972, Title IX states:

"No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the rights of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance."

One of the first to speak out in opposition to Title IX was Edward Joyce, V.P. of Notre Dame. He referred to it as "asinine." Notre Dame offered $1 million in financial aid to men and $0 for women. The University of New Mexico had an athletic budget of $527,000 for men and $9,150 for the wornens' program. The University of Washington appropriated $2.5 million for their athletic budget, but allocated only $18,000 for their women athletes. These were not isolated cases, but rather the typical allocation of athletic funds throughout the country. The NCAA Division I budget for women's intercollegiate athletics in 1973 was $27,000. By 1981 it had increased to $400,000 (Boutelier & San Giovanni, 1983, p 217). In 1993 Title IX and gender equity are still explosive issues. How much of the athletic dollar should be directed to the women's program? Division I schools allocate 70% of their athletic budget to the men's program. Legislation is being prepared that would require a proportionate share for women. (This proposal will be presented for a vote at the 1994 NCAA Convention.) As in 1972 there is a concern that men's programs will be in jeopardy. Charlie McClendon, former LSU coach, said, "1 don't think there's really any question that football is being threatened. If we go to a 50-50 split you could see one-platoon football." Donna Lopiano, executive director of the Women's Sports Foundation defended the gender equity issue by saying, "We're not going to cut into football, we're going to cut into the extravagant lifestyle of the big-time football coach. Do they really need inlaid team logos on their tables and $5,000 telephone bills during recruiting season? Do they need to spend $100,000 a year recruiting?" Although Bridgewater is not a Division I College, the gender equity issue and the outcome of the vote at the 1994 NCAA Convention will no doubt have an impact on the twenty varsity sports offered to men and women here on campus. Hopefully a financial compromise can be reached and the quality of men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs will remain intact.

Friendship • Knowlege • Maturity Bridgewater alumni 50 years apart share common traits

by Shari Silvers, '93

Members of the Class of 1993 approaching their graduation will soon take on new roles as Bridgewater State College alumni. They will join more than 32,000 other Alumni Association members in carrying on Bridgewater's traditions. The return of Bridgewater's Class of 1943 to the college, in celebration of its fiftieth reunion, provides the opportunity to observe the different perspectives both classes have on the college and on their roles as alumni. Comments from the Class of 1943, when asked what each member gained from his or her years at B.s.c., were very similar to the responses of prospective '93 graduates. Friendship, knowledge and maturity were among the most widely expressed traits gained from the Bridgewater experience. As Class of 1993 student Sandy Cohen comments, "I've gained knowledge, academically and socially, that I never would have received had I not attended college. To me, college is more learning about life than the emphasis on grades." Jeremy Greene, Class of 1993, states: "1 gained knowledge about the world that I didn't have before, and I met people from varying backgrounds." In comparison, Eleanor Kuchmeister Crabill, from the Class of 1943, observes "The friendships and learning experiences are still with me fifty years later. The joy of having a roommate (Amy Spollett) whom I can still enjoy a laugh with, Alumna Megan O'Donnell, '93, at or a more serious conversation with, is a marvelous bonus. Bridgewater January's winter commencement. More is important to me and I will always give it credit for helping me mature than 600 students received degrees at this into a happy and, I hope, worthwhile human being." Strong friendship ceremony. In 1943, less than 125 ties and knowledge of varying backgrounds proved very helpful in graduates received degrees at commence­ ment, and no winter ceremonies were held. dealing with the changing times for both generations. Living in a nation at war seems to have taken its toll on both the Class of '43 and '93. Christine Crowley, '93, remembers watching the news to monitor the latest of the Gulf War updates. In addition she recalls being interviewed by a local T.V. station on whether or not she supported the troops and President Bush's decisions regarding the Gulf War. "1 remember thinking that this isn't a textbook, this is reality, the present" says classmate, Sandy Cohen who continues: "1 never imagined that there would be a war, let alone one in which people I was actually close to and knew participated." Eleanor Kuchmeister Crabill, '43, recalls the war days at B.5.C. flOur lives at Bridgewater were quickly changed by World War II when friends and relatives interrupted their lives to serve their country. College life was patriotic and somber. We spent much time discussing all the war news." Further, Amy Wentworth Spollett, '43, notes "We

were children of the great war and the great depression and were affected by both." College life for these students changed with the war as they studied First Aid and defense courses. Ellen Mercer Diming gives an excellent descrip­ tion of this change in the 1943 Bridgewater State College year­ book: "We had practice black outs and air raids, and gradually we began to adjust ourselves to living in a nation at war." It is clear that the changing political and eco­ nomic times have taken their toll on both classes, /43 and /93. It has been said that with time comes change. Each class was asked how it felt the college and the campus had changed, and responded in somewhat similar ways. Patricia Reardon, /93/ says Members of the Class of 1943 during their Bridgewater days "We are expanding the campus with new buildings, and it seems /43/ "The growth of buildings, "For the 1993 graduates, the that Bridgewater State College is facilities, programs and the world is a much tougher place/" trying to increase its name recogni­ tremendous enrollment growth of says /43 graduate, Mrs. Spollett, tion and standing in the commu­ under-grads and graduate stu­ "but it is a much more exciting nity as well."
