29th
Annual
Intercollegiate
Woodsmen1s

this

another

one
which
will

be
remembered
and
we
all
look
forward
to
the

President's
Message
July
23,
1976
Dear
Members
of
the
PSC
Alumni
Association:
My
first
eight
weeks
here
have
been
both
a
time
for
reflection
and
a
time
for
generating
ideas
as
to
what
will
be
required
at
Paul
Smith’s
College
in
the
future
in
order
to
con
tinue
it
as
a
viable
institution
of
higher
edu
cation.
Its
been
a
long
time
since
that
first
class
graduated
in
1948--a
class
in
which
it
was
my
privilege
to
be
a
member.
Since
that
time,
under
the
very
able
direction
of
Dr.
Chester
L.
Buxton,
this
institution
has
not
only
grown
but
it
has
gained
in
stature
and
its
graduates
can
now
be
found
within
the
realms
of
many
of
the
nation’s
most
enterprising
businesses.
All
institutions
of
private
education
are
facing
extremely
difficult
times
due
to
infla
tion,
utility
rates,
increased
maintenance
and
operating
costs,
and
competition
from
the
public
sector.
PSC
is
unique
in
that
it
has
land
holdings
with
future
economic
potential,
an
operating
commercial
hotel,
and
the
ability
to
attract
students
because
of
the
opportunities
they
have
in
gainful
employment
upon
graduation.
At
the
July
meeting
of
the
College
Board
of
Trustees
it
was
agreed
that
we
would
take
several
immediate
and
significant
steps:
1)
We
will
initiate
limited
cutting
pro
grams
so
as
to
avoid
a
loss
of
timber
through
blowdown
and
age
and
in
doing
so
we
will
return
some
economic
benefits
to
the
College.
2)
We
will
spend
in
excess
of
a
half
million
dollars
over
the
next
several
years
in
improving
the
Hotel
Saranac
through
the
complete
rehabi
litation
of
our
professional
and
teaching
kitchens
and
the
installation
of
fire
safety
equipment
so
as
to
meet
State
mandated
regula
tions.
This
will
amount
to
half
of
what
we
would
like
to
spend
in
order
to
rehabilitate
the
Hotel
and
bring
it
up
to
a
justifiable
standard
for
the
future.
Hopefully,
that
can
still
be
done
after
we
have
installed
these
basic
mandated
necessities.
Financial
support
will
be
sought
from
corporations,
hotels
and
alumni
to
make
this
project
a
reality.
3)
We
agreed
to
initiate
new
fund
appeals.
Those
providing
$500
or
more
in
a
given
year
will
become
members
of
a
select
group
to
be
known
as
Paul
Smith’s
College
Associates.
Those
providing
between
$100
and
$499
per
year
will
become
members
of
The
President’s
Associ
ates
.and
they
will
be
duly
recognized.
Smaller
amounts
will,
of
course,
continue
to
be
en
couraged
and
donors
will
be
recognized
as
sup
porters
of
the
College.
Specific
projects
will
be
detailed
for
support.
4)
We
adopted
new
By-laws.
Three
members
of
the
Alumni
Association
will
at
all
times
sit
as
voting
Trustrees.
Hopefully,
we
can
gain
much
more
financial
and
moral
support
from
graduates
of
this
College.
We
would
hope
that
we
can
both
increase
the
number
of
donors
and
the
amount
provided
in
funding.
During
the
last
campaign
415
Alumni
provided
$8,585
in
College
support.
I
would
hope
that
by
June
30,
1977
we
will
gain
support
from
1000
graduates
in
the
amount
of
$15,000.
This
is
not
only
possible
but
necessary.
We
will
appeal
to
foundations,
individuals
and
business
firms
around
the
country
and
in
the
immediate
College
area
for
support
of
speci
fic
projects.
For
instance,
there
is
a
great
need
to
resurface
the
two
tennis
courts
on
the
quad.
We
need
a
four-wheel
drive
truck
for
the
Lands
Department.
We
need
added
parking
facilities,
a
recreation
field
and
monies
for
rehabilitation
of
existing
dormitories
as
well
as
a
sawmill
and
greenhouse.
It
is
hoped
that
through
the
initiation
of
these
special
funding
projects
we
will
be
able
to
entice
the
dollar
support
necessary
for
both
the
improvement
of
the
campus
and
the
addition
of
needed
equipment
and
facilities.
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
of
serving
this
College.
To
be
successful,
will
require
the
support
of
many
individuals,
both
from
the
College
community
and
the
area
adjacent
to
the
College.
Significant
support
must
also
come
from
those
who
had
the
opportunity
of
gaining
their
educational
experience
at
this
institu
tion.
I
trust
that
in
the
future
we
can
initiate
improved
relationships
among
our
alumni
by
establishing
regional
and
metropolitan
chapters.
You
will
be
hearing
more
of
our
needs.
I
do
ask
for
your
continued
support
of
this
fine
College.

A
life-long
dream
to
see
the
world
came
true
for
Dr.
Chester
L.
Buxton,
72,
on
his
retire
ment
day
last
December.
For
on
that
day,
Dr.
Buxton.,
who
was
princi
pal
of
Paul
Smith’s
College,
New
York,
for
the
past
27^
years,
was
presented
with
a
round-the-
world
trip
by
the
students
and
staff
of
the
college
”in
appreciation
of
his
dedicated
ser
vice.”
”1
was
overcome
when
told,”
said
Dr.
Buxton
who
flew
into
Singapore
on
Saturday.
’
’
T
h
e
gift
was
more
than
anyone
could
expect>
he
added
during
an
interview
at
Apollo
Hotel
yesterday.
But
there
was
one
thing
to
mar
his
happi-
ness--he
has
to
see
the
world
alone
because
his
wife
died
three
years
ago
after
a
45-year
marriage.
”1
had
always
wanted
to
see
the
world
with
my
wife
but
I
kept
putting
it
off
and
now
it
is
too
late,”
he
said.
When
Dr.
Buxton
arrived
here,
another
sur
prise
awaited
him--three
of
his
former
students
were
in
Singapore
to
welcome
him.
”1
am
glad
to
see
my
former
students
doing
well
in
their
work,”
said
Dr.
Buxton
whose
college
specializes
in
forestry
and
hotel
management
training.
Dr.
Buxton,
who
is
on
a
six-week
world
tour,
has
already
visited
Japan,
Taiwan
and
Hong
Kong
After
his
four-day
stay
here,
he
will
go
to
Bangkok,
New
Delhi,
Cairo,
Athens,
Rome
and
Montreal.
