PUBLIC EXHIBIT

5. A COLLEGE IS BORN,
1962-1968


5.1		"The Bernard M. Baruch School of Business and Public Administration 50 Anniversary" (1969)

		Many changes took place since the establishment of the School of Business and Civic Administration in 1919. The school was established during a period when business education was in its infancy and grew to a prominent place among institutions of higher education in New York City. This booklet was published to celebrate its achievements as of 1969. [Source: "The Bernard M. Baruch School of Business and Public Administration 50 Anniversary," The Bernard M. Baruch College, 1969.

5.2		"School Site Maybe on St. Nicholas Park"(May 17, 1966)

		The need for additional space for the Baruch school was an ongoing concern. In 1966 it looked a bit more promising that funds would be made available for a new campus. Several proposals were made, one of which was to move the college to Harlem. After much opposition the plan was dropped. [This article is from the Ticker, May 17, 1966. From the collection of the Baruch College Archives.]


5.3		"BHE Votes for Study on New Baruch Site" (May 29, 1966)

		Another site proposal for a new campus was the Washington Market site. It was one of the more popular proposals because it was close to the business centers of New York. This plan also never materialized. [This article is from the Ticker, March 29, 1966. From the collection of the Baruch College Archives.]


5.4		Special Committee on the Future of the Baruch School (September 27, 1967)
