By Libby Melcher

Since its founding in 1920, The College of Saint Rose has grown gradually and steadily, house by house, building by building. In 1968 the college solicited the professional assistance of Victor Christ-Janer of New Canaan, Connecticut, and under their auspices developed an organized plan for future physical expansion of the campus.

The report of the study, published in August of that year, contains an evaluation of the college’s present facilities and projected recommendations based on these. It is an analysis - the basw of what is sometimes referred to as Project 70 - designed to fully utilize the limits of existing aissets and provide feasible guidelines for the f^ture. It is a report, encouraging for its straight-forwardness, which seeks to describe the physical setting in which Presently in the library there is a seating capacity, The Physical Education and Recreation Center students and faculty can most advantageously for slightly more than 150 students; although the will be the biggest innovation for the St. Rose employ the expanding curriculum and outlook of stacks are adequate now, the space is rapidly filling. campus. Its proposed site is currently occupied by the college. The building is deemed “highly usable” despite Quillinan, Cabmi, Madison, and Carey Halls. As having reached its capacity for books, readers and proposed, it will house a swimming pool, locker, As proposed, the plan is divided into two phases. staff. The library annex plan includes 350 shower and dressing rooms and facilities for indoor games. It will also provide kitchen and snack bar The first phase deals with the erection of a new additional individual carrels, five group carrels, facilities. boiler plant, an expansion of the library, and the space for the transfer of the curriculum library As inoted in the report, of all the areas ol construction of a new dormitory and a Physical from its present location in Avila Hall,. :typing education at GSR. physical education suffers the Education and Recreation Center.

What is propo.sed is a carefully planned two-campus scheme designed to preserve what has developed up to now by coincidence. If Phase I is still in the unforeseeable future. Phase II is beyond even that. Any recommendations made will require considerable refinement, dependent in large part upon the college's feasible land acquisitions. Nevertheless, a Fine Arts Center is envisioned, housing separate theaters lor drama ' and music, with classroom space, rehearsal rooms, listening, dressing, and wardrobe rooms and art studios for painting, printmaking and ceramics. I he classroom an^ faculty office annex is seen as a space pool that the college may tap as it expands its undergraduate student body to the foreseen limit ol approximately 1100. There will be an always- increasing need for general classroom and ' administrative space. The estimated cost of Phase I alone is very near to $4 million. This includes construction costs, landscaping and site-work, furnishing.s. and equipment that will be needed, such as for the snack bar. It does not include architectural fees, nor does it take into account the rising costs of construction which can make a proposed budget fall considerably short of the actual cost. It should be noted that the model plan lor the future CSR campus consists only of the recommendations of professional planners; as yet no architects have been contracted to actualize these directives, despite the sequential timetable that has been determined. Page 4 INSC A PE ANNIVERSARY ISSUE By Marguerite Pileggi In New York State, at the time of the post-World War I boom and women’s suffrage, there was no Catholic women’s college between Buffalo and New York City. The vacuum this situation created in higher education was recognized by Catholic educators in the Albany EHocese. Msgr. Joseph A. Delaney, then Vicar-Gerteral of the diocese, noted their valid concern and, in 1920, proposed an institution to serve the Capital District area. With the approval of Bishop Edmund F. Gibbons, he approached Sister Blanche Rooney who was in charge of education for the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondolet of the Albany Province and asked help in staffing such an institution. The idea of the College of Saint Rose began to crystallize into fact. On March 4, 1920, the William Keeler home (now Moraii Hall) was purchased, and Saint Rose gained its first dorm-lecture hall — auditorium — chapel. The following month the New York State Board of Regents granted the school a provisional charter. The name of the college was chosen by Bishop Gibbons in honor of the Western Hemisphere’s first canonized saint, Saint Rose of Lima. On her feast day, August 30, 1920, formal dedication ceremonies took place. THE ALBANY ARGUS described the school’s first setting in 'a September 5, 1920 article: “The grounds surrounding the college buildings are tastefully laid out and well cultivated. Wide lawns, a pine grove and a tennis court afford facilities for outdoor exercise and healthful amusement. The college consists at present of two buildings, the dormitory and general building and the scientific lab, but it is anticipated other buildings will be needed by next spring.” College History Reiterates CSR’S The -College of Saint Rose formally opened September 22, 1920. Bishop iGibbons and Msgr. Delaney served as president and vice-president, respectively. Reverend* Mother Rosina Quillinan was chosen as the first dean. Under its provisional charter, the college was empowered to grant three degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Music. In that first year, the faculty was comprised of seven memters; the library, one room; the science lab, the Keeler garage. The first class admitted was made up of freshmen; Marion Carey, Albany; Ursula Casey, ' Valley J^alls; Helen Cunningham, Rochester; Marion Dee, Fort Edward; Margaret Disney, Albany; Sarah Fahey, Cranesville; Maryrose Gilroy, Utica; Katherine Grewen, Johnstown; Dorothy Jackson, Troy; Margaret Keane, Amsterdam; Margaret Kelley, Cohoes; Madeline Kretchner, Albany; Winifred McGowan, Schenectady; Margaret McNamara, Albany; Margaret Ray, Albany; Catherine Agnes Ryan, Delmar; Emily Smith (Daughter of Governor A1 Smith), Albany; Augusta Woloan, Rensselaer and Gertrude O’Connell, Troy. Of that group, 16 graduated in 1924, benefiting • from a curriculum of liberal arts and teacher training. Admittedly conservative, the college’s educational policy had established a high level of achievement. In less than ten years after its establishment, CSR won approval from the Middle States Association of Colleges and has been reaccredited by this same association on four successive dates. March 19, 1931 saw the granting of an absolute charter from the State of New York Education Department. In the meantime, summer sessions (1924) were added with Saturday sessions to follow in 1934. For the purposes of broadening the employment opportunities of CSR graduates, commercial and nursing courses were added in 1932. The medical program offered preparation for entrance to a medical or dental school, research or nursing.

The nursing program was, at the titne, a credit to the communities with which it was affiliated. In the first program, the student nurse spent two years on Page 5 ANNIVERSARY ISSUE INSCAPE campus and two additional years in practice at They were warmly greeted by the lay male faculty cooperating hospitals in Troy, Amsterdam, with a “beer party” held in the basement of Saint Syracuse, Westchester and Jamaica, New York.

“Girls thought different about going to a Catholic college back then. Why, no one would go to State if they could have afforded Saint Rose. It just wasn’t done. We were so ingrained with the value of a Catholic education that we wouldn’t think twice about going to a public school if we could go to a Catholic one.” “I’m disappointed in the growth of Saint Rose. There are only about 800 undergraduates now. That’s pretty small compared to other colleges. Siena seems to have grown so quickly in comparison.”

“But a small college is good too. Look at all the individual attention that we got from the teachers. 1 bet we got a whole lot more than they’re getting today.”

“Oh, I don’t feel that way at all. The only teachers I felt I knew pretty well were Mr. Walton, and Sister John Joseph. I couldn’t have sat down and eaten with any of the others.”

“But we couldn’t have eaten with our teachers anyway, the way the cafeteria was set up, with all the boarders always eating together and all the dayhops in another room.” “Yes, I agree, the way the cafeteria is now helps both the classes and the faculty to get to know each other better.”

“That was the crime of the century, to take her mother’s hard earned money and then tell her she couldn’t continue in the program. Think of the bitterness that she endured.” “Yes, the college was wrong.”

Four years later, her words have proved prophetic. At the same time, she is too much a part of CSR to be forgotten. Coeducation, new curfews, 4-1- 4...all are testaments to her administration.

Sister urges, “Think, question, argue, reason — but always in peace and mindful of the rights of others.” Looking back on her presidency, she says, “The most rewarding aspect of my term in office was the opportunity to discuss ideas with faculty, administration, students and alumni.

“All these men and women have been a source of great inspiration to me. Ideas and opinions are “To each of you. 1 say a special thank you for strong, but the important point to be remembered is what you have done for CSR.

In her farewell speech to the college community. Sister epitomized the mood she purveyed during her term. “Rather than look back,” she said,” let us look forward together.”

Sister always viewed herself as a teacher rather than an administrator. “1 believe in the youth of our country,” she said when announcing her resignation. “I love and respect these young men and women deeply. 1 believe that 1 can serve them more effectively as a teacher. This is what 1 want to do.”

Therefore, Si^iier Margaret has Icit CSR to return to the classroom. She will not be here to enjoy fruition of programs she enacted. Rather, she is where the need is greater.

Sister is teaching her chosen field of biology at the Red Cloud Indian School in South Dakota. She chose the Indian reservatipn because of an aesthetic love for nature. “1 love the mountains, the outdoors, standing to look at the stars and thinking,” she told a TIMES UNION interviewer. “1 respond to the beauties of nature.”

But in a greater sense, humane, Christian reasons led her to Red Cloud. She is not merely trying to do a stint in social action; rather, her interest in the American Indian is deep-founded. 'Bridge To Tlie Uncertain Future’ A NN/VERSA R Y ISSUE INSCA^E' Page 9 Dr. Miele Faces Challenging Problems

The position of college president has grown quite lackluster. The appeal it might have had once has been dulled by campus unrest. Accepting such an appointment is virtually throwing yourself at the mercy of both frustrated, angry students and equally angry trustees, alumni and benefactors. The College of Saint Rose is particularly fortunate in finding an individual who is not only willing to serve, but is also notably qualified and capable. Dr. Alfonse R. Miele, the first male, lay president of CSR, look officc this summer, only weeks after the student strike initiated by the killings at Kent Slate had thrust campuses nationwide into turmoil. As a result, he sees a new dimension has been added lo ihc college presidency. “Part of our job is not to have unrest take place insofar as humanly possible, engendering a spirit of ’ teamwork and having people listen to each other and know why decisions are made," Dr. Miele Stipulates. “ There was no pattern of reaction,” he says of the strike, "since no one was really prepared to react. Hiu now that there is no pressure. I hope students are realistically assessing their actions to determine what best benefited ihem. “Anything that disrupts the educative process is a debatable issue. I'ach individual ought lo act responsibly.” If Dr. Miele’s educational philosophy were to be summed up in one word, that word would be communication. In 'theory as well as practice, he stresses the importance of communication. He feels lhal the president can best communicate with the students by meeting them in small. informal groups. He feels that it is best i»> “get out with the studenls and meet them as an equal regarding their problems.” As a result. Dr. Miele can be seen eating lunch at a table of students, sitting in on classes and partieipatini! in their.discussions and walking into the Camelol Room. He fet'ls personal relations should be increased with the education process. His concept of a college is a "community that takes in all segments.” He einphasi/es “intellectual growth” and "concern on Ihc part of allmetnbersof the c»>mmunity on how we The relationship is also reciprocal. One of the can give young people the experiences and the From 1946-47 Dr. Miele served as Instructor of main problems Dr. Miele sees facing the college in knowledge lhal they will need lo make French and Public Speaking at Fordham Prep in coniributions to society." the immediate future is that “Saint Rose can’t be all New York City.

This method allows the student to be exposed to several faculty members teaching in one area, and all within one course. As a result of allowing students to determine their own requirements, certain departments suffered a loss in registration. But in the end, teachers in those departments feel this will be a good thing, because in the future, students in their departments will have a different psychological motivation.^ “Only those will take the course who are interested — there will be no deadwood.”

Many students felt that some departments would not be able to hold their own under the new system because of lack of registration. Ironically this is not the case. For example, theology and art courses are now those most quickly closed out. Because of imagination and creativity on the part of many faculty members, their departments are growing faster than they can provide for. In some cases, additional sections of certain courses have been set up to accommodate the students. Course scheduling is also different this year. All courses are scheduled to meet five times a week during the day, but teachers have the option of meeting fewer times if they desire. In many cases this has meant less class time but more independent reasearch time for the student. It has also meant for many the elimination of all Friday classes, giving both students and faculty an uninterrupted reading day, or the coveted long weekend. Many courses for undergraduates are now being offered at night. In addition, more movies, guest lectures, field trips and seminar type discussions are supplanting the traditional classroom situation. Students now have the option of taking electives for a pass or fail grade, rather than for a lette grade. It is hoped that this will encourage mon students to take electives in subjects they may hav feared otherwise. ANNIVERSARY ISSUE INSCAPE Page 19

By Millie Ellis and Kathy Shields The Art Department at the College of Saint Rose has experienced a peculiar pattern of growth; from art major in 1932, recessing into an arm of the education program, to an art education major in 1970. An art major was first instituted when the Science Hall.was opened. Room 411, the site of the present Business Department, was reserved for art classes. The department somehow never got off the ground. For example, a sink was provided to facilitate creative genius, but alumni can recall carrying pails of water from the janitor’s closet. Alter a few years, the college was forced to abandon the major due to lack of demand and increased expenses. There remained only a few electives, most notable a one-hour course in appreciation of fundamental art. The field of study bccame virtually a mere handmaiden ol the F.lementary Education Department. Since then, demand for art courses has grown, beginning with authorization of the Bachelor ol Science in Education degrees in 1950. Gaining m status, the department moved from the fourth floor to St. Iherese Hall, one of the three houses located at the present site of the Campus Center. Within a lew years, the department outgrew St. I hcrese’s and once again moved, this time to St. Margaret’s Hall. At that time, graduate and special education art courses were added, to be taught esery second semester. I he driving force of the present Art Department appeared almost l« years ago in the person of Sister Margaret Maria O’Donnell. Having .studied at Pius XII Institute ol Fine Arts in Italy, Sister Margaret Maria sought to share with the CSR community her knowledge of and love lor art. Academically, the Art Department reached its The smallness of this department has never The art appreciation course grew into a four-hour maturity last year when the New York State prevented its being a main social force at CSR.

Eileen Lomasney. A series of exhibits are scheduled for this year.

The Festival of the Arts, a student-sponsored activity, has long been a feature of spring life at CSR. Emphasizing creativity, it gives CSR students the opportunity to exhibit their own works and offers cultural enrichment such as concerts, lectures DESORMEAU and fllms. The scope of fine arts at CSR is by and large interdisciplinary. Particular cooperation is seen between the Art and Music E>epartments and Art and English Departments. An example of the latter is The Hungry Ear, a series of coffee-house VENDING CORPORATION meetings initiated last year. Two years ago Saint Rose received a $10,000 grant from New York State to develop Vision ’68. The program, conducted by five members of the Education, Music and Art Departments, invited area social studies and English teachers to study the fine arts. The seminar group made field trips to the 860 New Loudon Rd. Saratoga Performing Arts Center and to New York City to attend plays, musicals, orchestrations and museums.

CSR students will have a similar opportunity this January in the off-campus course on American Art. Latham, N. Y. The mini-sejnester will include three weeks of sightseeing in New York City.

The Art Department is certainly destined for further expansion. Additional faculty members and additional electives guarantee the cuhural aspect to the well-rounded CSR education. ANNIVERSARY ISSUE IN SCAPE Page 21
