YESTERYEARS
50 YEARS AGO: It was announced that the week of April 11-14 would be “Dedication Week” for the then new campus of Stanislaus State College. The president of the campus, Alexander Capurso, announced dedication ceremonies would last four days and include a wide variety of activities, prominent public figures and others from education. To pay for it all the campus was asking for donated funds, and the Modesto Friends of Stanislaus State College donated $400.
