110-91

110. Triangle of Pine Trees.
In 1945, students memorialized Susquehannans killed in World War II by purchasing and planting evergreen trees at the south end of the campus and in a triangle between Bogar Hall and the old Alumni Gym. The triangle of trees was removed in 2000 to make room for an addition to the athletic facilities.

Donald Wissinger '50

109. Donald Wissinger '50.
As a student athlete, he specialized in the kicking game for Amos Alonzo Stagg Jr. and Sr., earning the nickname, “Mr. Toe.” He returned to the college in 1959 as director of alumni affairs and subsequently became a professor in education. He also served many years on the Board of Directors.

Lester Karschner '37

108. Lester Karschner '37.
After graduation from SU, he entered seminary and became a Lutheran pastor serving parishes in central Pennsylvania. He also served on the Board of Directors for many years and in that capacity worked with Chaplain Joseph Flotten to ease tensions during the spring 1966 chapel boycott crisis.

William "Red" Swoope '16 and Seminary '21

107. William “Red” Swoope '16 and Seminary, '21.
He was among the finest football players to play for SU. He also exemplified how loose the rules were at that time. In 1914, after starting the season playing for another college team, he returned to SU for the last four games and was welcomed back with a bonfire and coeds who appeared on the roof of Seibert porch “in their silk wrappers and smiles,” to give “a hefty Oski-Wow-Wow for Swoope.”

106. Pine Lawn Constructed, 1928.
The President's house was built on the same site where Henry Ziegler, Susquehanna's second president, had constructed a plain wood-frame house in 1859. Money was tight in 1928 and Pine Lawn was controversial, described as “Smithsonian” because its first occupant was the recently installed president, G. Morris Smith.

105. Paul Overbo.
Professor Overbo was a popular teacher of physics and the busy manager of the Motet Choir, 1935-1940, in which he also sang.

104. Night Shirt Protest, 1902. Students and alumni desired a gymnasium; the board wanted a dormitory for women. When the board decided to build a woman's dorm, male students and alumni protested on the eve of Seibert Hall's cornerstone laying, wearing night shirts as they paraded before the homes of professors.

103. Elizabeth and Catherine Born. The Born sisters were the daughters of Peter Born, principal of the classical department, 1859-1881, and president, 1881-1894. They were the first women educated at and graduating from the Missionary Institute, Susquehanna's forebearer. Both married Lutheran pastors who briefly served as university president, Catherine to Franklin Manhart (1894-95) Elizabeth to J. B. Focht (1905-06).

102. James Steffy. The director of SU's bands and teacher of lower horns, he was appreciably responsible for the qualitative and quantitative growth of the music program in the 1960s and 1970s when he was the head of that department. Subsequently, he served the college as the interim vice president for academic affairs and dean of academic services.

101. Catherine Steltz. As dean of women, she was a strong voice for students in the inner councils of the university during the 1960s. She was responsible for the leadership conferences held for SU student leaders in the middle years of that decade. During these retreats students gathered a collective voice heard during the campus protests of that decade.

100. Frederick Stevens. He came to Susquehanna in the early 1930s to teach voice and conduct choirs. He initiated and led the very successful Motet Choir in the late 1930s. He briefly left the college during World War II; when he returned, it was to teach the social sciences and history, not music.

99. Student Army Training Corps (SATC), 1918-19. When the U.S. entered World War I in April 1917, the university's male students quickly joined up and SU faced financial catastrophe, as did most small schools. The SATC was established to prepare enrolled students for the prospect of warfare and to help colleges avert financial catastrophe due to decreased male enrollments.

98. Conservatory Building, 1921-1958. When President Jonathan Rose Dimm (1895-99) died in 1920, his home was sold to the college and became “the Con,” the home of SU's Conservatory. An austere, brick building which had several additions to it over the years, it was located immediately east of the main entrance to the campus.

97. Jacob Diehl.
Pastor of the “college church,” Trinity Lutheran (now part of Sharon Lutheran), Diehl was a part-time member of the seminary faculty. He was appointed interim president in May 1927, when President Charles Aikens died. His status was quite temporary as is attested by his official title, “representative” of the college's executive committee.

96. Axel Kleinsorg.
He taught theater courses at Susquehanna in the late 1940s and the 1950s. He was founder and tireless director of the enormously successful Shakespeare Festivals that each spring brought thousands of high-school students and their teachers to see performances in the “Little Theater” in Bogar Hall.

95. Academy Closed, 1925.
In 1900, the Academy was created out of the preparatory program of the Missionary Institute's old classical department. By the 1920s, it enrolled a small number of students, and was closed in 1925. Roger Blough may have been its best known graduate.

Edward Brungart 1900

94. Edward Brungart 1900.
Student, administrator, teacher and director of the physical plant, he served the college in many ways. As a student, he played football when that was a particularly brutal sport. He then worked at the school from 1904 to 1952, first as principal of the academy and then as director of the physical plant.

93. “Little Crusaders,” 1924.
In the early 1920s, the athletic program at Susquehanna was reformed under the hand of Athletic Director Luther Grossman. “Ringers” were outlawed, coaches became university employees and funds were obtained to finance all sports. These reforms prompted a Philadelphia sports writer to refer to those at Susquehanna as “Little Crusaders,” and was the origin of the school's nickname.

92. Donald Harnum.
He served SU as basketball and golf coach, and from 1978 to 2003 as director of athletics. His basketball teams were among the best ever seen on the hardwood at Susquehanna; the 1985 team played into the NCAA quarterfinals and his golf teams invariably appeared in NCAA tournaments at the end of the season.

91. Play Days, 1930-1960.
The intercollegiate sports program for women often occurred through a play day format from 1930 to 1960. These were round-robin tournaments in which SU's “honors” team played women from several other colleges. After the contests were over, the women gathered for a social hour.
