Course descriptions

Haven't had many of these lately, but one just in, needed course descriptions for 4 course taken in early '80s. Scanned the pages from the catalogs, merged, emailed to him.

Brockport enrollments

Query from Mike Andriatch & Jeff Lashbrook re peak enrollments. Didn't have time to go thru everything, but noted that:

I can tell you that in the 1971-72 catalog it states that “enrollment in Sept. 1970 was 8,200 of whom 6,200 were undergrads… An enrollment of more than 10,400 is expected in Sept. 1971.”

   In the 1981 Middle States the total student enrollment, undergrad and grad, was 7,300. The enrollment may well have spiked at around 12K in the early ‘70s.

Vick genealogy

A classmate of Roxanne J's from college asked her about researching an ancestor she thought went here ca 1910. I didn't find her as a grad, but did find a piece on her wedding, and ID'd two other relatives of same name who did graduate from here.

Stylus online!

Finally, after a year plus, the Stylus is finally online at nyshistoricnewspapers.org!!! It is there 1928-2014; that's what I had on microfilm that could easily be digitized. The earliest years were scanned by Mary Jo G. and are online at NY Heritage.

Public History class

Am meeting with Bruce Leslie's public history class again in a couple weeks, prepping for that, including updating list of possible projects - each student has to do a 30 hour project, and some will do it using college archives.

Anthony Conetta

All American wrestler '83, found one photo for athletics from when he played, still looking for one taken when he was inducted in our hall of fame in '98.

MMH 50th

Am speaking at the Morgan Manning House 50th anniversary this Saturday, have been preparing a talk for the occasion.
