Thomas William Macquarrie's most significant contributions were the expansion of the physical plant and the curriculum. Many buildings were constructed and acquired, including the women's gymnasium, education building, men's gymnasium, the stadium, science building, library building, Memorial Chapel, and the old city library was converted into the first student union. At the time of his retirement, the music and engineering buildings were under construction and contracts for the speech and drama buildings were finalized. He combined the junior college and teachers college courses to offer more types of degrees. In addition, he initiated a student teaching program and abolished the training school. Born in Ontario in 1879, he and his family moved to Wisconsin where he attended the State Normal School in Superior. During World War I, he served with the rank of major in France. After the war, he earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Stanford University and taught at the University of Southern California before becoming president of San Jose State Teachers College. http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/presidents/ |
