Emersonian : [Emerson College Yearbook]

— ' LJEM' i .i jc ; f. iUSlQNS ASST. D-T. 'C? / EMERSONIAN Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Seven Emerson College Boston, Massachusetts . Eighty-Seven Years Men have tried to communicate their wants to others for centuries. The cavemen grunted at first, blind people used braille, and deaf people use their hands and fingers. The more fortunate people can just speak. But just speaking or communicating is much harder than it seems. From world leaders to everyday housewives, this Art is strived for. Many desire it but feu attain real perfection. For this reason one professor and his six students felt it necessary to begin a college of oratory. Emerson has come a long way since it was founded in 1880. as a private school, by Charles Wesley Emerson. In those days it was more commonly known as The Boston Conservatory located at Pemberton Square. So the birth of a new school with new ideas began. But just as success and time never stand still, so it was with our Emerson of today. Mr. Emerson's college began a series of moves and name changes right up until 1 908. In the cool September of 1886, the Boston Conservatory of Oratory was removed to Wesleyan Hall on Bromfield Street and named the Monroe College of Oratory. Just a short four years later, as a result of a petition to the Legisla- ture. the institution was again renamed. This time the famil- iar word Emerson came into being. It was named Emerson College of Oratory And so time continued and the college grew. Finally men were beginning to filtrate into the once all woman enrollment. The College kept its name but not its physical location. More teachers and larger student body forced moves. By 1891. Emerson College of Oratory moved from Wes- leyan Hall to Odd Fellow's Hall on the corner of Berkeley and Tremont Street. Just at the turn of the century, the college moved from the south side of the city to C'hickering Hall This is near the New England Conservatory of Music across from the present day Symphony Hall. A final move made to the present location of Berkeley and Beacon during the presidency of Dr. Southwick (1908-1932). 2 Every organization must have its leaders and administrative heads. Emerson was fortunate to have several great, hard-working and inspiring presidents. As mentioned earlier, Mr. Charles Wesley Emerson was the founder. It was only fitting that after a time the College carried his name as well as his ideas. He was Emerson’s president for 23 years (the 2nd longest), from 1880-1903. There have been several presidents in the course of Emerson's eighty-seven years. Follow- ing Charles Wesley Emerson, there were such men as Mr. Rolfe, Dr. Southwick, Harry Sey- mour Ross, Dr. Boylston Green, Dr. Godfrey Dewey, Mr. Jonathan W. French Jr., and the present president since December 1, 1952, Dr. S. Justus McKinley. The three who have held the post the longest were Dr. Southwick (Mrs. Maxfield's father), twenty-four years; the founder, Charles Wesley Emerson, for twenty-two years; and our own Dr. S. Justus McKinley for fourteen years and five months. These eight presidents have formed the back- bone of Emerson’s history as a college of oratory, which brings us to the real meaning and purpose of Emerson's existence. Emerson's purpose is to train effective and responsible communicators. It’s three major depart- ments emphasize this fact: 1 ) Speech and Speech Therapy, 2) Broadcasting, and 3) Theater Arts. Year after year the college grows and turns out responsible men and women. The enrollment is over a thousand students, a far cry from the six students of 1880. But these thousand have the same belief that was instilled into Charles Wesley Emerson's six. That of: Expression Is Necessary To Evolution. 3 Jk 4 5 _L n 6 SHE is Uninhibited Visionary Ambitious Vibrant Active Daring Eager She is, in fact, the essence of today, the hope of tomor- row. For the qualities She possesses are the Building Blocks of the Future: 8 For this, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty- Seven, dedicate this year’s EMERSONIAN to 10 A Man and a woman came 14 years ago to Emerson College. Their Concern for Emersonians began its’ growth. 12 months out of every year these two Kept their time and efforts available. The Equation 10x10— 100% can well express the amount of Inspiration they extolled towards others. The 8 hour work day would just begin to touch the Never ending hours they poured into Emerson. 6 was the year just before they decided to rest. Love had been the key to their success 4 all these past years. Their rewarding Energy was appreciated. The Class of 1967 to these 2 people would like to make this Years presentation of the Emersonian to: ii Dr. & Mrs. S.
