ENTRANCE TO COLLEGE GROUNDS

The Henry Whittemore M,emorial Gate, whichis at the entrance to the campus, was given bythe Classes of l9I7 , 1918, and 1919, and namedfor Mr. Whittemore, Principal of the Framing-ham Normal School from 1898 to 1917.

OUR FRAMINGHAM BACKGROUND

Over a hundred years ago, Massachusetts schoolswer'e faced with the fact that their teachers wereunfitted for teaching because of ignorance, notonly of teaching methods, but of t-b. subje-ctmatter as well. To overcome this difficulty, theMassachusetts Board of Education was formedin 1837, rvith Horac,e Mann as its first Secretary.This board made possible the establishment ofthree normal schools, one of which has grown tobe our Framingham State Teachers College. OurNormal School was established in 1839 at Lex-ington under Reverend Cyrus Peirce, as Prlncipal.Reverend Samu,el J . May succeeded Peirce in1842, but after two years the latter again becamePrincipal. In 1849 he rn'as follovved by Eben Sterns.The school was moved to Framingham in 1853.The first woman Principal, Miss Annie E. John-son, s,erved from 1866-1875, and re-establishedthe practice school. She was followed bl MissEllen Hyde, who became Principal in 1875.Until 1898, the school prepared for the elemen-tary grades only, but during that year the U"tyHemenway School of Domestic Science in Bos-ton was added. In 1920 the Vocational Depart-ment was established by the F'ederal Board of\/ocational Education.Henry Whittemore became Principal in l89B andconducted the school for nineteen years. He wassucceed,ed by Dr. James Chalmers, who retiredin 1930.Francis A. Bagnall, who followed Dr. Chalmers,retired in 1936. Martin F. O'Connor took hisposition as President in September of that year.With extension to the State Normal Schools ofthe privilege of granting degrees because of theestablishment of the f our-year course and therecognition of the work don,e as of collegiategrade, the Legislature in March, 1932, changedthe names of all State Normal Schools inMassachusetts to State Teachers Colleges.6

TOBLIGATIONS OF A FRAMINGH^A'MSTATE TEACHERS COLLEGE STUDENT

On entering Framingham as a freshman, eachstudent upon payment of the budget fee becomesautomatically a member of the Student Cooper-ative Association, and f rom then on her mem-bership in this Association implies that she willbe willing to accept her obligations as a citizenof the college and conf orm to its standards.There are certain obligations and responsibilitiesas well as privileges connected with the StudentCooperative Association at Framingham, andeach girl should be ready and willing to assumeher full share.A wisely adjusted balance of academic and non-academic responsibilities contributes to thedevelopm,ent of an all round student.The attitude of every student towards the col-lege community should be that of constructiveccioperation. She should accept and support thefundamental standards of the group and shouldalso be willing to conform .to all customs andprocedures which have proved to be for the bestinterests of the community.Each member of the Student Cooperative Asso-ciation should take active part in offering sug-gestions for improvement and should feel herselfto be a vital part of a flexible and progressivedemocracy.

Moreover, while each student is identified withthe college, she is, inevitably, its representativewherever she goes and should feel the obligationof loyalty in maintaining its rep'utation atall times.10

THE ELLA C. RITCHIE LIBRARYOn the s,econd floor of Dwight Hall is lo'catedthe college library recently named the Ella C.Ritchie l,rbraty as a tribute to the librarian whoserved the college from 1923 until her death inl94L In addition to this main library there areseveral departmental libraries on the camPus'making more easily available the books and o'therlibrarf materials needed for special class work.The library of about 18,000 volumes includes anadequate collection of ref erence books, booksspecifically chosen f or class work, books forrecreational and cultural reading, newspapers'and more than 150 periodicals on a wide varietyof subj,ects. Since the books and periodicals havebeen selected to answer the many needs of bothfaculty and students, certain rules regarding theuse of the library and its materials are necessaryso that all m,embers of the college communitymay enjoy equal library privileges.1. Ref erence books do not circulate ; they are

needed in the librarY at all times.2. Current periodicals do not circulate ; they

may b,e read in the librarY3. Certain books needed f or class assignments

are taken from the main collection from timeto time and placed on special shelves f orlimited periods. These so-called r'eservedbooks are charged f or over night only. Inthis way a few copies serve many students.

4. A1l other books and other library materialsmay be taken out for a period of two we'eks.;at the end of that time renewal is allowed.

Either the librarian or a student assistant isalways on duty in the library. All users of thelibraiy are urged to consult the desk att'endantat any time when they need help in using tlttlibrary. The college library is a place for quietreading and study; it is an agency of instructionrather than a sto,rehous'e of books ; it should bethe academic center of the institution.

OFF-CAMPUS CONTACTS

A Framingham girl aims to be informed. She isnot ,enclosed behind brick walls, but rather seesvital connections between her studies and theworld she lives in.Many students join the Foreign Policy Associa-tion, the Twentieth Century Club, and the Pan-American League, where they have an oppor-tunity to attend lectures on the social, economic,and political problems in the world today. Theyalso broaden their cultural background by visit-ing some of the museums that are comparativelynear the college : in Boston, Cambridge, andWorcester.Many of the students join the Civic MusicAssociation which brings to Framingham out-standing artists in the musical world.Home economic students make supervised visitsto markets, stores, and industrial plants.All departments at Framingham €ncourage aclose relationship between scholastic work andrelated cultural opportunities in the surroundingcommunities. There are opportunities to con-tinue affiliation with Scouts, 4-H, and Rainbow,and to b,ecome an active member of the CivicLeague Players, and the Framingham Commun-ity Choral Society.

Students are encouraged to become activelyidentified with their church in Framinghamthrough social service work, choir, and youngpeopl,e's organizations.

50

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Good relations and sympathetic understandingbetw,een a teachers college and the public whichhas f urnished and supports it are extremelyimportant.As an undergraduate everything you do willreflect credit or discredit upon your co'llege.Ary awards or honors which may come to you,in school or out, will be shar,ed by the college,just as you will share in any distinctions thatmay come to your school. The reverse is alsotrue, of course.This interdependence between you and yourcollege is inevitable and inescapable. It isbeyond your power to avoid this responsibility,but it is very much within your power to addsubstantially to the reputation and fame of yourcollege.

Seek out opportunities to promote its ideals andstrengths. B e quick to resent and prepared torefute any derogatory remark about your chosencollege or your chos'en profession.Bear in mind, however, that the best possiblepublic relations are promoted by your own per-sonality as a serious, maturing student of edu-cation, in training for the most important dutyand privilege civilization off'ers, the honor ofinstructing its young.

51

PERTINENT POINTS

Remember that you are entering a professionalcoll,ege, and a professional attitude is expectedof you.First impressions are important.Rise when an older person stops to speak to you.

Framingham recommends you on the basis ofyour reputation here.Books or equipment obligingly loaned should b'ereturned promptly and in good condition.Permission should be secured for the use of anylaboratory equipment outside of class.Pass through the corridors quietly and as seldomas possible-while classes are being held.

Avoid calling to people, or watching campus pro-grams, from dormitory or classroom windows.Chapel is a spiritual exercise and merits reverentattention.Avoid carrying unnecessary material to Chapelor Assembly programs.

Students rise upon presentation of guest artistsand Assembly speakers, who should always re-ceive courteous attention.

Begin well ! Poor work in th'e first semester mayhandicap you through your whole college course.

If you are not doing well in a sub-je.-t, dg not hesi-tafe to ask for a conference with the instructor.Lead,ers must first be followers-be cooperative.

F'ramingham with its beautiful c?mPqs, attractivedorms, ind vic parties offers ideal facilities forweek-end entertainment.

The Centre is not the only direction in which towalk ; there are many lovely spots in and aroundF'ramingham.

52

This is the place to make friends ; don't chumwith one girl exclusively. There are approxi-mately four hundred at Framingham. Don't beafraid to speak to the girl who smiles at you.Careful grooming is expected of every student.The best dressed student is the one who dressesto suit the occasion.The electric current in the dormitories is D.C.not alternating and car,e should be taken lestelectrical appliances requiring alternating beruined.

Attendance is expected at every chapel.

SMOKING ROOM

There is a smoking room in the basement ofDwight Hall and this is the only place on thecampus where smoking is allowed.The student government rules r,elative to thesmoking room will acquaint all students withthe system for keeping this room attractive andclean. It is expected that each girl wishing touse this room will assume the responsibilityassign'ed to her.The smolcing room is .not to be used duringChapel or Assembly hours, otherwise it is openall day, and is available between dinner andquiet hours and on week-ends.No smoking is permitted in the dormitori,es orany of the other college buildings.
