TO THE CLASS OF 1936
GREETINGS:
'l'he President of Alfred University ex- tends a hearty welcome to all the members of the Class of 1936. As you enter Alfred, for the Ilrst time, a new experience awaits yon. College life is vastly different from home life and high school experiences. All the resources of Alfred are now opened to you. You now become a part of this all- cient and honorable institution of learning.
and Alfred challenges you to show the metal tbat is in you, and to realize your unmeasured possibilities. I am anxious that you should start right and keep right.
and SO have nothing to 1'el,"1'et later. To become a competent, cultured, man or wo- man of. character, is no easy task. It means hard work and plenty of it. Alfred aspires to keep Its present high rating, and to be among the best of undergraduate colleges. This aim requires good students and high scholarshi p. College life at Al- fred also requires social, ethical, and cit- izeuship. responsibiltties. Onr ideal is a
"Golden Rule" democracy. Stndents hav~
responsibility for the good government.
good name and houor of the campus and of the student body. Character is the goal of college life. That requires tbe gaining of mental and moral balance! and the ability to choose the good and reject the bad. To be an Alfred man or woman is a privilege, but it implies responsibility as well. In welcoming you to the privileges and pleas- ures of college life at Alfred, I welcome you also to work and responsibility-to n large sbare in making the next four years the best in .Alfred's bistory. You will get ont of college, as rou get ont of life, in exact proportion to what yon put into it.
You will get much as yon give much.
BOOTBE C. DAVIS, President.
THE FRESHMAN CAMP Alfre<! University for the first time is In·
auguratlllg a Freshman Camp this Fall.
The camp Is located about twenty miles from our campus. It has wonderful boat·
mg and swimming facilities along with othf'r qual!fications to make a good Camp.
The mam purpose of this camp is to bring the new Frosh in a man·to-man con·
tact with the faculty members and the upper classmen. With this idea ill mind we feel that a better understanding of col- le!"e life will be founded.
The camp stall' is composed of faculty members and selected members from each
~raterulty on the campus. The camp pro·
Ject comes under the work of the Y. M. C.
A. activities.
FRESHMA.r.~ WEEK
Matriculating Freshmen wlll form the first ties of their acquaintance with Alfred In the week preceding the beginning of instruction. During this period they will have an opportunity to gain 'an insight into the spirit of Alfred's purposes, Ideals, and traditions, through an orientation pro·
gram designed with that end in view.
Freshman Week will enable members of th€ Incoming class to become settled h.
their places of residence, and find them·
selves, In a measure, before the varied ac- tivity of actual colleg.e begins. A sense of class fellowship and unity can be derived from the intimate associations of these in- troductory c"llege days, and when the Fresh- men ar€ finally welcomed at the annual reception held by the Christian Associations at the Library, they will have actively step·
ped into their beginning of Alfred life.

STORY OF ALFRED UNIVERSITY To you young men and young women coming upon the campus of Old Alfre!l for the first time, coming to make yours.,lves A lfred's and Alfred yonrs; to yon I sa:\, We questions will naturally arise: "How and when and why !lid Alfred University start." "What has it been~" "How has It become wbat we 1I0W see~" To be sme, there Is a spirit and ideal here that you can learn about only by contact and ex- perience with it; but glimpses at the story of its past can be given. which will aid you to learn of its spirit.
It was ninety,six years ago the fifth day of next December that thirty·seven young people got together in an upper room In one of the eight or ten houses tbat made up Alfred Center. as it was then called.
forming the select schOOl, the seed of AI·
fred University. The teacher WaR a young man named BethueJ C. Church. He taught one winter, and was succeeded the second winter by a student from Union College.
naDled James R. Irish. The school w~.s
already a success and people had said. "Go to. let us build a school building for our new schOOl." This was dono by the fall of 1837. The new building had 28 by 38 feet floor space and was ten feet higb to the eaves. It wns surmounted hy a cupola which caused the stUdents to dut·
23
it the "Horned Bug," hut more dignified peopie called It "The Cadmus" It cost
$550. •
In 1839, when ?llr. Irish resigned another Union stud.ent, famous in Alfred' hist!>r' tool< .charge and gave his whole liCe to
tl~~
bulldI!lg up of Alfred University. Wheu the. lIttle se.lect school was chartered as an ,tcademy III 1843, his title beeame Prin- cipal, and when It asked In 1857 for a college. chll;rter, but got a university char- ter, bIS ~Itle was changed to Presid~nt.
He died In the presidential harness ten
years later. .
.Altl!ough . "Tbe Cadmus" was enlarged, stili bigger Ideas were incubating. A tract of forest land was bought on the lower slope of Pine Hill (perhaps you are sitting somewhere on it as you read this) lIud was slowly made to resemble a campus.
B,v 1.846, three new hulldings appeared oil tIle hIllside. Lumb.er and labor were cheap much of both was donated so that tb~
total cost of these structures was $16 ono' There was North Hall, a dormitory, \~hlcl;
had a checkered career. It stood about where the Stelnhelm now stands. In 1868 It was sold to the school dlstl'ict and moved down to the present site of KalJakaden Hall" and. used as a school house. But Its movmg down" propensities had not diBl!-ppeared, for It waS acquired hy a private IndlVl?Ual and moved still further down
th~ hIll. and fitted up as a hotel. TJlls private mdlvldual was Mr. Wllliam C Bur- dick, who, In 1896 allowed the University t? use. the building as a dormitory. Later hiS hem;: gave it to the school. Have y<>u
gj uessed I!? Yes, that's it, its present name s--Burdlck Hall.
Th~n, there was old South Hall, a girls'
dorml~ory. It stood where the Social Hall now IS, and went up in smOke one cold
24
February morning In 1858. Middle Hall. "
boarding place, and a home for some of tlIP teachers, stood on that old cellar site south of the Steinheim. Later it came to be th~
home of President' Allen, and just after being wholly remodelled as a college dorm- itory, it was burned early in 1912.
Meantime the old Chapel (Alumni lIall, with the quill-pen weather vane), 1852, /lnd the Brick, 1859, so-called to lllark It, contrast with all the other buildings, which were of wood, appeared. In due til1lP
(1863-66) was completed the William ,\.
Rogers ObfjCrvatory (now taken down) in- troducing the name of ODe of the most fa- mous men in the field of science Alfred has ever pOSJ;essed.
When President William C. Kenyon ended his labors in 18(\7, all eyes turned to It
memher of the faculty, Jonathan Allen, a~
his logical successor. Professor Allen 1",<1 been a student in that first select SCllool, and like some of his classmates, bad paid his tuition by chopping six cords of four foot wood. He shrank from tbe task Im- posed upon him by the trustees, hutprove<l that they and other friends had been right in naming him president, for under his direction Alfred University prospered, and his influence spread far and wide in th ..
land.
In 1879 the unique and beautiful ~true·
ture called the Steinhelm was finiBhe,i.
It represented many things, including a Rhine castle, the geological formation here·
abouts, and in its Interior finish, many local woods. The building and its collectlou"
were given to the University by its owners, President and Mrs. Allen.
At President Allen's suggestion, a suit·
able monument to President Kenyon wa~
erected (1882) in the beautiful Kenyon l'vIem orial Hall. The Gothic was a faculty mem-
25
ber's home, and was purchased by the University in 1885.
President Allen managed Alfred's alfairs for an even quarter of a century, dying in 1892. The late Professor A. B. Kenyon, as acting-president for a year, and Dean Ar- thur E. Main as President for two years.
brings our story to 1895, when Presitlellt Davis began his long and suceessfnl sel"- vice as huilder of the New Alfred. 'l'lwn came others of our familiar buildings: Hub·
cock Hall of Physics (1897) (hurned in 1929), the Ceramic School (1900), Kana- kadea Hall (1908), the School of Agricul- ture (1909), the Carnegie Library (1912).
the central lleating plant (1917), 'Allen life- morial Laboratory (1923), Track and Jj'ieltl HOllse (1929), SURal;} Howell Social Hall (1930), Bartlett Memorial DQrmitory (1931), and the new CeramiC College build- ing (1931) . . These huildings constitute the obvious Alfred of 1932. Again let it' 10 ..
remarked that kl;}owledge of the inner AI-
fred-~the soul Of these buildings and cam·
pus-is a matter of slow growth in appre·
ciation.I,et me drop one hint. It is said that when South Hall waS on fire ·in 1858.
one of the loyal snpporters of the school.
accompanied by bis wife, was riding to town in the old farm wagon. When til ..
pair reached the crest of the 11ill west· of the village and SaW the flames and smoke.
the wife exclaimed: "South Hall's afire! I see where I wear my· old dress another year."
Incidents like this enahle us to sense more vividly tbe meaning of a stanza of Alma
Mater which runs: .
"She was founded In toil, ('emented .wIth bloo!l,
And nurtured through yearnings and tears.
Her treasure, the llearts of brave heru~s
who stood
26
Undaunted throughout trying year~. b ttl' Jllach stone was a prayer and hel a e
ments there,
'lave memories of purposes strong.
Ntauncb daughters and sons are Ill'r monll
lr.ents fair, "
And they lift up the grateful song.
