Accessed September 23, 2019.","The Anthony-Seeger Campus School was a combination nursery/K-6 elementary school (K-7 1965-1968) that operated on the JMU campus from 1958-1982. Named after two former directors of the Madison College teacher training program, Katherine M. Anthony (1885-1975) and Mary L. Seeger (1882-1975), and spearheaded by Harrisonburg Public Schools superintendent M. H. Bell and JMU's third president Dr. G. Tyler Miller (1902-1988), Anthony-Seeger acted as a lab for student teachers to learn the art of teaching, as well as a model school designed to offer a top-level educational experience for enrolled students. Attendance at the school was by application only, and enrollment vacillated between 200-400 students during the school's 24-year history. A significant portion of Anthony-Seeger students (e.g., 43.5% of K-6 students during the 1979-80 school year) were the children of university employees. Attendance for these students was free; all other students paid an annual tuition fee.","Starting in 1971, amid concerns over funding and the closure of other lab schools across the state, JMU's fourth president, Dr. Ronald E. Carrier (1932-2017), commissioned three studies to determine the efficacy of the Anthony-Seeger School and the practicability of its continued operation. The first study, commissioned in 1972, recommended the expansion of the school to include a learning diagnostic center for students with mental and physical disabilities. A subsequent study in 1979 raised the possibility of transferring operation of the school to Harrisonburg City Public Schools, or closing; neither option was pursued. A follow-up study in 1980 again considered closure, and again opted for continued operation, but in 1981, the school lost its bid for continued state funding and officially closed on June 4, 1982. In the years since, the Anthony-Seeger building has housed the local public radio station, WMRA; JMU's student-run radio station, WXJM; and JMU's newspaper,  The Breeze  (all now located off-campus). The building currently provides offices for the JMU police and the Center for Assessment and Research Studies.","Parent Teacher Association minutes and a set of scrapbooks kept by two teachers at Anthony-Seeger, housed in the Special Collections cage since 1982, were officially acquired and combined with aforementioned materials from the College of Education in March 1993 (AS 93-0303).","In addition to discarding non-archival material, in 1992-1993 staff organized the remainder of the collection intellectually as well as physically, grouping administrative materials and PTA minutes in one box and the scrapbooks and oversized paperwork in two others. Staff further divided the administrative materials into folders by type and the scrapbooks into folders labeled chronologically; they also added page numbers to the scrapbooks dated after 1971. A review of the collection in September 2019 revealed minor errors regarding date ranges on some of the folders; staff corrected these errors, along with moving the scrapbooks to flat boxes (to preserve their original organization) and reassigning numbers to the scrapbooks folders (for clarity of citation). The September 2019 review also resulted in the collection being assigned a new catalog number.  The collection was previously cataloged as AS 91-1016 and AS 93-0303.","Anthony-Seeger Campus School Photographs, James Madison University Historic Photographs, 1919-ca. 2000, UA 0051, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University.","The Anthony-Seeger Campus School Records, 1956-1982, consist of administrative, historical, and personal materials related to the Anthony-Seeger Campus School. Materials include a variety of administrative files and items related to school history; graduation programs; Parent Teacher Association minutes; and two scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1958-1982, consists of material relating to the history and everyday operation of the Campus School, including accreditation records (1978-1982), insurance information (1978-1981), and general PTA paperwork (1962-1974). Of special note is a Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers year book from the 1971-1972 school year (does not include student information or photos), a 1981-1982 handbook, graduation programs from 1975-1982, a school history compiled by the last graduating sixth grade class in 1982, and a copy of the 1980 study commissioned by Dr. Carrier, which includes breakdowns of the student body by race and gender. Three folders contain PTA minutes ranging from 1958-1979, along with a few loose materials concerning the school's opening and closing.","Series 2: Scrapbooks, 1956-1981, consists of two sets of scrapbooks maintained by teachers at Anthony-Seeger. The first, compiled by second grade teacher Ruth Cooper, covers her tenure at the school (1958-1973); the second, maintained by fourth grade teacher Dr. Marguerite Wampler (1923-2013), covers the years 1973-1979. Both sets of scrapbooks include newspaper clippings, correspondence, programs, photographs, and ephemera related to the school's history. Of special note is a copy of the letter sent by Superintendent Bell to parents in 1956, alerting them to the school's imminent opening; photos of Cooper's second grade class watching the construction of an addition to the Anthony-Seeger building; and multiple articles on Anthony and Seeger, including their obituaries.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

The first, compiled by second grade teacher Ruth Cooper, covers her tenure at the school (1958-1973); the second, maintained by fourth grade teacher Dr. Marguerite Wampler (1923-2013), covers the years 1973-1979. Both sets of scrapbooks include newspaper clippings, correspondence, programs, photographs, and ephemera related to the school's history. Of special note is a copy of the letter sent by Superintendent Bell to parents in 1956, alerting them to the school's imminent opening; photos of Cooper's second grade class watching the construction of an addition to the Anthony-Seeger building; and multiple articles on Anthony and Seeger, including their obituaries.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

Harrisonburg (Va.): Madison College.","Audrey Louise Hawkins (1927-2016) was born in Charles Town, West Virginia to Roy Benton Hawkins Sr. and Pauline Olive Larrick Hawkins. She attended Madison College and graduated in 1950 with a degree in accounting. While a student, Hawkins was active in the Business Club, YWCA, and Theta Sigma Upsilon, serving as its vice-president her senior year and attending the national convention in the summer of 1949. She also served as the assistant editor of the student handbook. After graduation, Hawkins taught at Ashby Lee Elementary School in Shenandoah County for 19 years.","Hawkins married John William \"Bill\" Rosenberger on November 26, 1950.","Items were originally donated to the Alumni Association by Audrey Rosenberger at an unknown date, but likely before 2016.","The Audrey Hawkins Rosenberger Papers, 1950-1956, document Hawkins' time as a student at Madison College and include photographs, printed ephemera, and a bucket hat.","The collection includes a program from the Margaret Webster Shakespeare Company's production of \"Julius Caesar\" presented at Madison College on January 10, 1950; the fall 1950 issue of \"The Torch,\" a publication by Theta Sigma Upsilon; Hawkins' Theta Sigma Upsilon bucket hat; three photographs of the 1956 May Day celebrations; and two oversize group photographs, presumably of Theta Sigma Upsilon members. Hawkins is not identified in any of the photographs.","Likely Theta Sigma Upsilon members at sorority events.","A copy of the 1945 Schoolma'am yearbook, a 1949-1950 student handbook, and two issues of The Madison Quarterly (November 1944 and March 1945) were removed from the collection and added to Special Collections holdings.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.
