“The Gymnasium which is a building of exceptional beauty,
was erected in 1911-12. It is built of Berea sandstone, and is thoroughly
adequate in its proportions and appointments for systematic physical training.
The plans for the building were completed after a thorough study of some of the
best gymnasium buildings in the country. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the basement are a baseball cage, a room for visiting
teams, locker rooms, and bath-rooms with the most improved showers. On the
first floor are offices and the main gymnasium floor, fifty-two by eighty-six
feet. The gymnasium is completely equipped with all modern forms of apparatus
for heavy gymnastics and special work. On the next floor is a running track and
visitor’s gallery.” </div>

During World War II, a requirement of hosting a V-12 unit
was that BW would need to build a swimming pool for the men to train. The pool
was quickly constructed and added to the rear of the gym. If you look at the
back of the SAC, you can still see the arch “scar” on the building. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually the building became outdated and too small to
hold athletic events. In the 1977-78 catalog,
the gym was described in the Athletics section as, “”The Women’s Gymnasium,
which houses facilities for women students and the Baldwin-Wallace Swimming
pool.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
The gym was converted to the Student Activity Center and dedicated in 1990. For more information about the SAC, please visit: http://www.bw.edu/stulife/union/sac/<br />

As the story goes, John Baldwin’s personal commitment to
education spawned from an incident concerning his mother. He was aware that she
was denied a college education because of her gender. The documented evidence
of Baldwin Wallace University’s commitment to producing well-trained teachers can
be traced through Baldwin Institute, Baldwin University, and Baldwin Wallace
College catalogues. [The italics are taken from the catalogues.]</div>

The 1847 Baldwin Institute Catalogue documents the origins
of the Normal Department:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“This department is
designed particularly for those preparing to teach. The exercises will consist
chiefly of a through and practical course of training, in the elementary
branches, designed not only to instruct in the most thorough manner, but to
illustrate the art of teaching. It will be sustained chiefly by the Acting
Principal”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

The next year an additional statement was issued: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Those
wishing to qualify themselves for teaching, will receive special instruction in
a normal class.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Students enrolled in 1849
might take courses such as reading, spelling, arithmetic, and penmanship. However, it was noted that: <i>“Ladies
who desire a more ornamental course may substitute Drawing and Painting for
Latin, each quarter. Ladies or gentlemen of correct deportment, who thoroughly
accomplish the course of study prescribed, will receive a diploma.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1856, there was a designed “Teacher’s Class.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“It is the design to
organize a Teachers’ Class, composed of members of the Institution and others,
on Tuesday, November 3d, 1856, near the close of the First Term—Course, two
weeks—during which time a series of Lectures will be delivered, on subjects
appropriate to Teachers; and the members of the Class will be drilled in those
studies generally pursued in Common Schools. Efforts will be made to provide,
on a reasonable terms, board, during the course, for those Teachers who are not
members of the Institution. Tuition for the course—to members of the
Institution, $1.00; to others, $1.50.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

By 1888, a college degree became invalabule for anyone
wishing to teach. This is evident in the first line of the description:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The time is past for
thinking that “any body can teach school.” The demand for trained teachers is
growing more emphatic every year. Boys and girls who have scarcely become
acquainted with the branches of common school study will find here long that

schools.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

desk.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to graduate, a student must be examined and produce
a thesis: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Examinations and tests
of the Normal students will be frequent, and so thorough as to leave no doubt
of the student’s knowledge upon the branches of study in hand.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Every student will be
required to take his final examination before the Board of Examiners of
Cuyahoga County, and receive from that Board grades, not one of which shall
fall below eight-five percent .<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i>The graduating thesis
must be upon some subject connected with the profession of teaching. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

By 1901, practice, or student teaching, had become part of
the degree requirement:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“A Practice school has
been secured for the coming year, and all those expecting to teach must take
some training in this department. The school is divided into grades and the
student will have an opportunity to do work along the line that he is preparing
to teach. Practice allows theory and proves the worth or worthlessness of the
theory. No student will receive a diploma from the Normal Department who has
not had four weeks’ training as a minimum.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By 1942, the curriculum became very similar to what is
required today:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“The courses in
education afford the student intending to teach opportunities for securing
theoretical knowledge and practical experience in this vocation. Most states
now require professional training as a prerequisite for a certificate to teach.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A student wishing to teach in 1942 would have to take
courses such as: Intro to teaching/ history of education/ educational
sociology/ educational psychology/ vocational and educational guidance/
classroom management/ principles of teaching in secondary schools/ principles
of secondary education/ adolescent psychology/ mental hygiene/ educational
statistics/</div>

<b>T</b>oday, hundreds of people pass by the rocks without
notice. Situated off of Barrett Road, on
Valley Parkway (Metroparks), visitors can use the scenic waterfalls look out
and view The Rocks from above. However, when students in the 1890s/1900s were
visiting, they would often sit on the rocks. Some would even carve a name or a
date on an old stone. Next time you are driving past the area, you might
consider pulling into the parking lot and stepping onto the platform for a nice
view of a Berea landmark. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I was walking around campus yesterday, I couldn’t help
but notice all of the freshmen moving into the dorms. It got me thinking about
the tiny brown and yellow hats that sit in the Baldwin Wallace Archive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
hats you ask? Well some of you might remember these hats, or beanies as they
were known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the 1960s it
was customary that frosh had to purchase a beanie during the first weeks of
school. These hats singled out the new students and, according to The Exponent,
“if caught without one, any upperclassmen could ask the beleaguered freshman to
suffer such embarrassments as walking around trees backward.” Another Exponent
article has a bit more serious result of the relationship, “This quaint
practice often lead to an incoming freshmen having another adventure… his first
visit to the Health Center. Or, in extreme cases it leads to the adventure of
quitting his first college.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYv8r49QNd5qfsuycVLNnZTwqvy4yFS3fc05GfMJp_zXlSEK9pLPAI23lI99UM55CN7BzjRJv9ODivPl0cZmmgxwKnNPq72HgFihyz83xCw4mDhR8G4Hw90rk0T4-hpMDyWQ4KzB7l1cc/s1600/img041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYv8r49QNd5qfsuycVLNnZTwqvy4yFS3fc05GfMJp_zXlSEK9pLPAI23lI99UM55CN7BzjRJv9ODivPl0cZmmgxwKnNPq72HgFihyz83xCw4mDhR8G4Hw90rk0T4-hpMDyWQ4KzB7l1cc/s320/img041.jpg" width="211" /></a><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
it can be seen, the practice of wearing the beanies could be a bit frightful.
When talks began about the possibility to get rid of the beanie, a student took
to the editorials of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Exponent</i>:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Don’t
ban the beanie</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, be reasonable, Charlie—how can you condemn the Freshman
Beanie as being morally decadent when it’s actually one of the very few institutions
(I know: “Who wants to live in an institution?”) remaining with B-W that really
doesn’t harm anyone? Who cares that dinking is undignified? The petty
embarrassment is only for the moment, and seven or eight hundred people having
to dink in a common situation—that of being freshmen--might indeed have certain
advantages.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>First,
when a freshman is lost or even mildly confused while wandering about the
campus attempting to get oriented, wondering where he’s supposed to eat, stay,
go to classes, he is chagrined and shy, unwilling to ask anyone outright just
where he should be; he doesn’t like being caught ignorant. But if he wears a
beanie that marks him as a candidate for assistance, then most of the
upperclassmen would thoughtfully inquire if they could help in any way, and he
would not have to feel embarrassed. The dinking then becomes just one of those
little irritations the freshman has to live with—and even then, for only a
short period.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Look
at dinking more closely, though. The usually practice is pick on a frosh until
his frustration toleration level is reached, then grin madly and introduce
yourself. If he isn’t too sullen, he will reveal his mysterious identity, and
you have each gained another acquaintance if not a friend. The freshman also realizes
that it’s not a bad idea to get “connections” from the very start. Furthermore,
in the line of meeting other people, he will know immediately which students
are his own classmates and will not fear to break down and cry in their
presence. So you see, what’s so bad about the Freshman Beanie? Recall that the
student is under to real obligation to wear one, that he can beat the
upperclassmen in some silly game and get out of his beanie days, and what
upperclassmen doesn’t want posterity to have all the experience he had,
besides? Plus the fact that it brings in a little more cash for College, and
there’s no denying that nearly any source is welcomed these days. And colorful-brown
and gold are rather attractive when you’re used to them, and the freshman will
probably be satisfied with them eventually. The beanies begin a little cheer
into the hectic weeks of becoming adjusted, here referring to all the student
body. To summarize, each must find his own reason for wearing or in some cases,
not wearing, the B-W Freshman Beanie, but the College should at least make them
available to the freshmen at beginning of Fall Quarter.”</div>

Ms. Horton was a former May Queen and had quite a few pictures that she wanted to donate to the archive. Her photographs add a new prospective to the 1961 May Day festivities.

When enrollment began to grow,
Baldwin Wallace needed to build a new library. Groundbreaking for Ritter Library
took place October 18, 1956 and was dedicated on October 15, 1958. Ritter
Library was designed by Mellenbrook, Foley, and Scott and constructed by the
R.S. Ursprung Co.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
library was named after the parents of Dr. George W. Ritter. Dr. Ritter was a Baldwin Wallace Trustee, and
graduate of Baldwin University. The main
level of the library was named after Charles and Mary Jane Spahr.<br />
Today the library is still undergoing changes and students returning to campus for next semester will be in for a treat as the new cafe style lobby will be available for studying and congregating. </div>

The second photograph depics the severity of the quarrying.
This is the reason why there are no physical remnants of Baldwin University in
the Metroparks, due to the depth of the digging and excavating. To the far
left, you can see the tower of Hulet Hall and to the right is Baldwin Hall.</div>

As the quarrying crept closer to the campus, there had been
disagreements between Baldwin University and the Cleveland Stone Company as to
the fate of the land. Eventually the Cleveland Stone Company agreed to pay
Baldwin University for the land and gave them several years to move to the
present day North Campus. It is interesting to think that the business that
made John Baldwin wealthy and allowed him to create BU, also resulted in the
destruction of campus.</div>

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provenance" target="_blank">provenance</a> of many pictures is lost. What you end up with are photos that have neat images and can be identified as Berea pictures, but missing context.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I have included three cabinet cards that have no identification. Cabinet cards were popular between the late 1860s to 1890s. The images depict three interesting individuals, but how they relate to BW might possible remain a mystery forever. Because of the missing information, it begs the question, "Who am I?"</span><br />

Carnegie Hall has had quite an interesting history dating
back to the 1800s. Originally the building was used as a boarding hall and was
located near the first Baldwin University Campus (present day metro parks.) The
building itself was constructed on present day South Rocky River Road.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The 1874-75 Baldwin University Directory mentions the
building, known as Ladies Hall and describes it as follows: <i>“An elegant and commodious Boarding Hall for
ladies is in process of erection. This building, which is to consist of a
basement of stone, already erected, and two additional stories of brick, will
be pushed forward to completion as rappidly(sic) as the collection of the
subscriptions will justify.” </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the building was complete, it featured a unique front
porch. Under the porch were steps that went to the basement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The big news came in 1888 when Baldwin University finally
sold the University’s land to the Cleveland Stone Company. The quarrying had
encroached to a point where it was not viable to stay at that location. The
news was included in the 1888 Baldwin University Directory:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Within the past year
this campus was sold to the Cleveland Stone Company, along with some other
college quarry land, for the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, and this
amount was added to the permanent endowment fund of the University. But the
University does not give possession of the campus until the expiration of five
years from the date of the sale.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Within this period a
new campus of from twenty-five to fifty acres in extent will be selected and
new building erected<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Ladies’ Hall, the finest
building owned by the University, is not located upon the campus and was not
included in this sale of property.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously when the campus moved to the current location
(North Campus), Ladies Hall was in an inconvenient location. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luckily for Baldwin University, Steel Tycoon and Philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie donated money for a science hall to be built on campus. The
decision was made to move Ladies Hall to North Campus and turn it into a
Science Hall. As the legend goes, John Baldwin Jr. (John Baldwin’s son)
supervised the relocation of the hall and numbered each stone so that the
building could be reassembled exactly as it stood. The only casualty of the
move was the front porch.</div>

I finally had a chance to visit the new Durst Welcome Center. As I strolled through the building, I couldn’t help thinking about the land where the new Durst Welcome Center sits.

I decided to do some research and came across these two pictures that highlight the area.
Before the student union was built in 1963, there was Centennial Hall. The hall was originally located in Willow Run, Michigan. However, with the large numbers of men returning to campus after World War II, BW needed to accommodate for the larger than normal enrollment. The administration decided to have the hall shipped from Michigan.
Centennial Hall was always a work in progress.<br />
<br />
<i> The Exponent</i> (September 28, 1948) stated: “Redecorations and remodeling in Centennial Hall have put the GI Dorm back in shape for the New Year. Repairs and a new paint job in all the wings and a remodeled lounge will brighten the building.”<br />
The end of the hall was spelled out in the October 4, 1962 <i>Exponent</i>. It read, “Union Nears Reality As Site is Selected. On the basis of the questionnaire survey taken last year and campus expansion, a site for the College Union has been selected. The structure will be erected on the present site of Centennial Hall and in the area to the west along Grand Street.”<br />
<br />
However, Centennial Hall didn’t go down without a fight! The January 10, 1964 Exponent read: “Old Centennial Hall is destroyed as work begins on B-W New College Union. The wrecking crew encountered some difficulties when they broke into the reinforced concrete basement walls.”<br />
<br />
Next time you walk over to the Strosacker Student Union or the Durst Welcome Center, perhaps you will think about ole' Centennial Hall.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09712153180311028908noreply@blogger.com1
