The insert for the Lake Erie magazine at the url in the post includes the following text, "Ground was later broken for The Garfield Center on June 6, 1950 and the building was dedicated in 1952. The College maintained a separate identity for the program<br />until 1985, when Garfield Senior College was eliminated and male students were admitted as fulltime traditional and residential students. From that point on, with the merging of Lake Erie College for Women and Garfi eld Senior College, all students were graduates of Lake Erie College."Ray Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123638351874519446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681679449862850915.post-33724192412863327512012-01-30T12:34:13.983-06:002012-01-30T12:34:13.983-06:00Would that be Garfield as in James?

We don't read much about Garfield in our history books about Garfield but I suspect it was a big loss for the United States. I wonder whether Garfield Senior College was named in his honor. Do you know what years it existed?Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926464658353101290noreply@blogger.com
