Roy Bubb '53

Brad Schreiber from advancement asked about him. He is not only a grad, but was a professor in Education c1961-1985, and supports a scholarship. I couldn't find a lot on him, some basic bio info, but then I did discover a folder of his hand written letters to his professor Dorothy Foster relating his student teaching experiences at the old "Clarkson Grammar School," which would have been in the brick academy building by the Clarkson church on Ridge Rd.

Baseball box score

Part of the fun of archives, one question is on a 19th century principal and his background, the next is about baseball scores for a particular game in 1970-71! Will search athletics files, Stylus... The player was Ernie Kittelberger '74.


Update: I just can't find anything. The Athletics records I have are pretty extensive, but focus primarily on varsity, not junior varsity level teams. For the period in question all the baseball records are of the varsity team. Nothing in Stylus either for '71 frosh baseball games.

Charles MacLean query

Had another query from the historian of Gamma Sigma re MacLean and his background. He was particularly interested in when MacLean graduated from University of Rochester (he went there after Clarkson Academy and our Collegiate Institute, c1850s.) Part of his interest was wondering if while at U of R MacLean had been part of the "Delphic" society there, and had been inspired by that to start Gamma Sigma at Brockport in 1870.


Have contacted U of R archives, am looking through some things here...

Lynda Cochrane, Dance

Was a response to the Daily Eagle post re 50th anniversaries, wanted to know more about her department (1967). They actually have some of their own archival materials scanned and in Digital Commons, sent her a link. Also shared some other info.

Pictures of 5 championship wrestling teams

From Athletics, for a request they received from an outside group. Found some, still looking for a couple, it is hit and miss with athletics stuff. Some years Jim D. shot pics of all the teams, some years not, some were done by free lancers and we may not have the photos...
