Historical/Biographical Information

SUNY New Paltz History 1828 - 2001

SUNY New Paltz traces its beginnings to the year 1828, when a group of leading citizens founded the New Paltz Classical School. Five years later, with the promise of financial support from the New York State Board of Regents, local citizens gathered funds to expand the school to a full-fledged Academy. The New Paltz Academy was located on Huguenot Street, in a white frame building overlooking the Wallkill River. Two programs of study were offered, the English course which covered the three R’s, and the Classical course, which added instruction in Greek and Latin.

Within three years of the academy’s incorporation, additional teachers had to be hired to accommodate the increasing enrollment. By 1840, a northern and southern wing were added to the original building. When the academy celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1883, a movement was afoot to enlarge the facility once again. In September of that year, a committee was formed to consider the enlargements. However, their charge was short lived, for in February of 1884, a fire started in the principal’s office and the academy burned to the ground.

From Academy to Normal School

While trustees, committee members, and local citizens quickly gathered funds for the construction of a new academy, consideration was given to converting the new building to a state normal school. Eighteen years had passed since the last normal school had been established at Buffalo, and nearly all the teacher-training institutions were located in the western half of the state. There was every reason to believe that legislative support would be found to create a normal school in the Hudson Valley.

In late 1885, after an intense political campaign, the state accepted the newly raised academy as the New Paltz State Normal School. A new local board of trustees was named, and Dr. Eugene Bouton was appointed the school’s first principal.

While the school was now under the auspices of New York State, it rested upon a stipulation by the local board of trustees that an academic department exist for students who did not wish to become teachers. Consequently, this gave the New Paltz Normal School something of an independent, and experimental character from its very beginning.

Within two years, enrollment was flourishing and Principal Bouton requested that an additional wing be added, effectively doubling the size of the school. By 1889, the new wing was complete, and Dr. Frank S. Capen became the second principal of the New Paltz State Normal School.

Dr. Capen was a Union army veteran and had been a professor of mathematics at Cortland Normal School for fifteen years. He was well suited to manage the growing student body and curriculum. Three courses of study were now being offered;the two year Normal Course, the three year Normal High School Course, and the four year Academic Course. The two Normal Courses prepared graduates to teach in the New York public school system, while the Academic Course was designed for pupils who did not desire the teacher-training curriculum. The Academic Course was open to New Paltz residents only, and consisted of additional fees not covered by the state.

By 1899, with his health failing, Dr. Capen retired as principal of New Paltz Normal. He was succeeded by Yale graduate Dr. Myron T. Scudder (later to become principal of the Scudder School for Girls in New York City). With the tenure of principal Scudder came the initiation of a series of innovative programs at the school. In 1899 a "school city"was inaugurated to manage the everyday affairs of student life. Mr. Wilson Gill, originator of the school city movement, was called in to organize the system. The idea of the "school city"was that citizenship was to be learned by performing the duties of citizenship. The school was divided into three cities, the Primary, the Intermediate, and the Normal. Each city had its own mayor, councilmen, policemen, courts, and public works. A governor and lieutenant governor were elected, as well as an attorney general, senators, and assemblymen. All electoral processes were kept as true to life as possible.

A second innovative program under the tenure of principal Scudder included the admittance of the school’s first foreign students. As a result of Cuba’s liberation from Spanish colonial rule in 1898, fifty Cuban girls were invited to America for a year or more of teacher training. New Paltz was selected as the school best suited to train the girls because of its strong emphasis on citizenship education and democratic processes embodied in the "school city"program. Several Spanish speaking teachers were added to the faculty and a local hotel was leased to serve as a dormitory for the young women. Arrangements were made to repeat the experiment a second year, but the Cuban government was unable to provide the necessary funds, and only one of the girls remained to graduate.

Normal Moves up the Hill

In 1906, disaster struck again when the Normal School was gutted by fire over the Easter recess. Faculty homes and churches were used to conduct classes for the remainder of the school year. Once again, the citizens of New Paltz found themselves lobbying the state legislature for financial support. After a year of campaigning, funds were appropriated to rebuild the school on a new ten-acre site, approximately one-half mile east of the Wallkill River. According to the 1885 agreement with the state, the old four acre site was returned to the Trustees of the Academy. After nearly three years of planning, the new "main building"was dedicated on February 12, 1909.

With the new building came a new principal, Dr. John C. Bliss. From 1900 to 1904, Dr. Bliss had been in charge of teacher certification for the State Education Department in Albany. He was extremely well suited to lead a normal school, and quickly began making changes. The faculty was increased to twenty-one members, and certification standards brought up to date. In 1909 the school was reorganized yet again, and three departments were formed:the normal school, the training school, and the high school. As in previous years, the training school was limited to New Paltz residents.

The year 1911 marked the silver anniversary of the State Normal School. In its brief twenty-five year history, the school had experienced its share of both prosperity, and hardship. The curriculum was approaching a more modern one, with courses in psychology, American history, literature, music, and mathematics. Extra-curricular activities were as popular as ever, with students having the opportunity to join over a dozen athletic and social organizations on campus.

The Normal School continued to grow, and in 1913, the state legislature voted to provide $100,000 for a new wing to be added to the main building. Then governor William Sulzer vetoed the bill on the grounds that it would place too severe a strain on the state treasury. Funds were later appropriated in 1917, and building soon began on the new wing which we now call Studley Theatre.

With the close of the First World War, and a return to more peaceful times, enrollment once again increased at the Normal School. By 1923, the graduating class was nearing one hundred students, up significantly from a post-war low of fifty-nine graduates in 1920. By mid-decade, a six-week summer session had also been added to the teacher-training curriculum. The new course marked yet another requirement in the growing preparation of New York State teachers.

In July of 1923, with his health failing, Principal John C. Bliss resigned after fifteen years of service to the Normal School. His replacement, Dr. Lawrence H. van den Berg, held a Master's degree from Columbia, and an honorary doctorate from the New York State College for Teachers in Albany. Before coming to New Paltz, Dr. van den Berg had served as superintendent of schools in Grand Haven, Michigan, as well as Director of Training at Oswego Normal School.

Under the inspiration of his new leadership, the school’s perception of a teacher training program quickly widened. The traditional course of study was extended from two years to three, and student teachers were soon able to specialize in various grade-level concentrations such as kindergarten-primary, intermediate, or junior-high.

By 1928, increasing enrollment and overcrowding were becoming major issues. The Practice School, Normal School, and High School were all being housed in a single building. That same year, Principal van den Berg petitioned the state to provide funds for a separate Practice School to be built on Normal School grounds adjacent to the Main Building. The state denied the request, ordering instead that the High School department, located on the top floor, be discontinued and absorbed by the village. At first, opposition to the establishment of a local high school was intense. Eventually however, a compromise was struck, and thirteen local school districts joined together to establish a new village high school under a local board of education.

Having now met the terms of the state, an appropriation of $600,000 was granted for the construction of a new Practice School to be directed by the Normal. Ready for occupancy in 1932, the new building was officially named the "Lawrence H. van den Berg School of Practice".

In 1938, requirements for graduation were extended from a three-year course of study to four, and by 1942, the New York Board of Regents had authorized the school to grant the Bachelor of Science degree in teacher education. Later that same year, the New York State Legislature changed the name of the school to the "State Teachers College at New Paltz", officially ending a 56 year period of normal school training in the village of New Paltz.

The Haggerty Administration

With Dr. van den Berg's untimely death in 1943, Dr. William J. Haggerty assumed the second presidency of the college in 1944. Holding a doctorate in education and political science from the University of Chicago, Dr. Haggerty had spent four years as Director of Student Personnel at the University of Connecticut. Assuming the presidency at age 35, Dr. Haggerty became one of the youngest college presidents in the country.

As the war intensified in Europe, New Paltz students once again directed their thoughts overseas. Blood drives were established, war bonds were sold, and scrap metal collecting became a common practice. Men trained at nearby Stewart Airfield, and aviators were taught in the classrooms of the van den Berg School of Practice. The student literary magazine of the day, the Paltzonette, contained prayers and poems for the enlisted soldiers. By 1943, the magazine featured a regular insert from the United States War Department aimed at recruiting student officers in the fields of education, physics, medicine, and engineering.

With the close of the Second World War, increasing enrollments and overcrowding again became an issue. In 1948, a temporary cafeteria and classroom building were constructed on campus until the new College Union could be completed in 1951. Situated on the eastern side of campus, the new building contained much needed dormitory space, dining facilities, lounge areas, and a new college bookstore.

In 1948, the State University of New York was established to provide a comprehensive system of publicly-funded higher education in New York State. The State Teachers College at New Paltz was one of 31 existing state institutions immediately incorporated into the new system.

Under Dr. Haggerty's energetic leadership, the college soon broadened its curriculum to include a graduate program in education, as well as a specialized major in art education. New administrative positions were created, and the faculty were divided into five areas to help cope with the increasingly broad range of subjects being offered.

A year after the dedication of the new College Union, the state legislature authorized the construction of a new library building on campus. Completed in 1954, the two-story library housed over 70,000 volumes and contained seating for some 300 researchers.

A Global Curriculum

In addition to the new academic buildings on campus, a major reorganization of the curriculum was also underway by the mid-1950's. A two-year general education program was instituted, followed by a required major in teaching or the liberal arts. Inspired by Dr. Haggerty, an emphasis in non-western studies became a major theme of the new curriculum.

In 1956, a World Study Center was established on the second floor of the College Library. Its broad aim was to promote world understanding among students, faculty, and teachers in the Mid-Hudson Valley. More specifically, the Study Center was responsible for supporting the newly required curriculum in Afro-Asian Studies and World Literature.

In July of 1959, the college was renamed the State University College of Education at New Paltz. The decision to drop the name "teacher's college"reflected the institution's growing role within the state university system. One year later, the colleges at New Paltz and Fredonia became the first SUNY four-year colleges authorized to grant a Bachelor of Arts degree in liberal arts studies.

In 1961, the college celebrated its 75th Normal School anniversary or Diamond Jubilee. The occasion was celebrated with numerous articles and events, including the release of In a Valley Fair, the official one-volume history of the college. Since its early focus on teacher training, the school had successfully evolved into a comprehensive institution of higher education, with a proud emphasis on student development and global understanding.

By the early 1960's, many of the new buildings on campus were nearing completion. Two new dormitories, a new dining hall, and a new gymnasium accommodated the rapidly growing student body. In addition, a new fine arts complex solidified the college's newly established liberal arts curriculum. Despite the new facilities, however, President Haggerty still felt dissatisfied with the progress and growth of the campus. In a 1962 letter to university architect Otto Teegan, the president called for additional construction. Haggerty envisioned an expanded student union, additional instruction space, more faculty offices, a larger infirmary, and a second college library. In order for the campus to accommodate these new structures, the president suggested that the campus be expanded to the south and west of Excelsior Avenue.

Continued Expansion and Change

Plans for the additional construction received serious consideration, when in March of 1962, Governor Rockefeller announced the creation of a new State University Construction Fund. The $1 billion fund provided for "an accelerated program of campus construction throughout the State University system."By May of 1964, President Haggerty announced a Master Building Plan for the New Paltz campus. The $30 million plan called for the construction of five additional academic buildings, seven new dormitories, two service buildings, a student infirmary, a student union building, and an administration building.

While the campus underwent tremendous physical change, the faculty began to express a desire for increased participation in college governance. Until this time, president Haggerty had personally overseen many aspects of the institution. By 1965, many faculty wanted to play a larger role in both the administrative and educational policies of the college. In April of 1966, a small number of faculty announced their intention to unionize and applied for a charter from the American Federation of Teachers. One month later, 65 faculty members gathered off campus to install the first officers of the State University Federation of Teachers, Local 1669, New Paltz, NY.

In September of that same year, President Haggerty announced his intention to retire after 22 years at New Paltz. Under Haggerty's leadership, the college had grown in both size and stature. Enrollment had increased from 357 students in 1944, to over 3,000 at the time of his retirement. Among his hopes for the future of the college, Dr. Haggerty cited the continued international focus of the curriculum, as well as the continuation of the 1957 General Education Program.

Transition and Protest

Following Dr. Haggerty's resignation, two interim presidents guided the college until Dr. John Neumaier became the third president of the college in September of 1968. Prior to his arrival at New Paltz, Dr. Neumaier had been president of Moorhead State College in Minnesota for ten years.

Upon his arrival, the new president was anxious to install a more democratic system of government at the college. With the help of his administration, the former academic divisions of the college were re-structured into academic departments. The new structure was intended to be more manageable for both faculty and administration.

Throughout the late 1960's, student demands for academic reform and self-regulation steadily mounted. Rapidly changing social norms, coupled with growing anti-war sentiment, fueled political awareness on campus.

In April of 1967, students held their first major protest. The action was organized in response to the presence of military recruiters on campus. By 1970, political activism had become widely accepted among the student body. In early May, 1,000 students took over the Main Building and declared a student strike. The boycott was directed toward the ongoing war in Vietnam, and the recent shootings at Kent State. The non-violent strike had the support of many faculty members, and the administration was forced to cancel classes for the remainder of the semester.

In response to student requests for increased academic reform, the administration eliminated the general education requirement in December of 1971. It would be twenty years before a revised general education program would be reestablished at New Paltz.

The Lean Years

In September of 1972, President Neumaier retired after four years at the college. He was succeeded in 1973 by Dr. Stanley Coffman. Before arriving at New Paltz, Dr. Coffman had served as both provost and vice president of academic affairs at Bowling Green University in Ohio.

Upon assuming the presidency, Dr. Coffman was quickly confronted with sizeable budgetary cuts from the state. Despite these initial concerns, the Coffman administration was able to establish one of the first Women's Studies Programs in the SUNY system. Within two years, the successful program was offering twenty-one courses to over 600 students.

By the mid-1970's, however, state budgetary cuts could no longer be absorbed by the college. In the summer of 1976, a Program Review Committee was formed to examine the issues of program termination and faculty retrenchment. After serious review, the committee recommended numerous retrenchments along with the abolishment of the African and Asian Studies majors. Three years later, the college received its most severe budget cuts of the decade. A final round of faculty retrenchments followed, resulting in the complete elimination of the African and Asian Studies Programs.

In March of 1979, President Coffman announced his retirement from the college. While his administration had established popular new programs in women's studies and computer science, severe budgetary constraints overshadowed many of the college's achievements during this period.

A Strengthened Reputation

In the summer of 1980, Dr. Alice Chandler became the fifth president of the college. Dr. Chandler received her Ph.D. from Columbia University and had most recently been the acting president of the City College of New York.

During her first year, President Chandler immediately began to strengthen the public reputation of the college. She quickly reaffirmed institutional policies governing academic standards and behavior. In addition, the president addressed outstanding issues such as unregulated student housing, and pervasive substance abuse on campus.

Within three years, the college established new academic programs in the fields of business administration, nursing, and electrical engineering. In response to these new offerings, freshman applications rose dramatically throughout the 1980's. By the end of the decade, the college had become increasingly selective, adding further degrees in the fields of sociology, international relations, journalism, and accounting.

In late December 1991, the college faced an unexpected environmental crisis when a local electrical spike caused several campus transformers to overheat and emit hazardous PCBs into the atmostphere. A number of academic and residential buildings on campus were seriously effected. Fortunately, the accident occurred over winter break, and the college was able to resume classes after a one month delay.

After several years of planning, a second Fine Arts Building opened in late 1994 on the southwest portion of the campus. In addition, the newly renovated Hopfer Alumni Center opened its doors to alumni, visitors, parents, and prospective students.

In November of 1995, President Chandler announced her intention to retire from the college the following June. In her 15 years of service, the college had undergone a renaissance in academic program development, and had truly become "a regional university for the Mid-Hudson Valley."

An International University

In the summer of 1996, Dr. Roger Bowen became the college's sixth president. Dr. Bowen held a doctorate in political science, and had most recently been the vice president of academic affairs at Hollins College in Virginia. The new president pledged to maintain the college's competitive standing, while striving to reach "even higher goals"for the college.

President Bowen immediately set about strengthening student scholarships, fundraising, student retention, and campus beautification. The president also emphasized new programs in international education and travel.

In 1997, the SUNY New Paltz received national attention when President Bowen permitted a women's sexuality conference entitled Revolting Behavior to take place on campus. The president came under heavy criticism from both Governor George Pataki and the SUNY Board of Trustees. One year later, the president was recognized by the American Association of University Professors for his staunch defense of academic freedom.

In reaffirming its designation as a regional university, SUNY New Paltz launched a new MBA program in the spring of 2000. The highly anticipated program offered numerous areas of concentration, including marketing, accounting, management, and international business.

In the fall of 2001, New Paltz remains one of the most selective universities in the Northeast, and among the five percent of campuses across the country who accept fewer than half of their applicants. Plans for additional residence halls and athletic facilities underscore the university's commitment to campus housing and increased student retention.
