International Center at Springfield College is Dedicated, Oct. 31, 1965
No full textA newspaper article published by the Springfield Sunday Republican on Oct. 31, 1965 titled "International Center at SC is Dedicated". The article talks about the new suite of rooms that was set up in Springfield College Alumni Hall that would house the International Center. The rooms were funded, in part, by the widow of SC president Laurence Locke Doggett, Olive Doggett. She gave $15,000 and the main room in the suite was named the "Laurence Locke Doggett Room." The article also contains a picture with the director, Attallah Kidess, Mrs. Doggett, and two students, Savitri Gautamadasa and Richard DeFay. The International Center at Springfield College celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015.The International Center was first established in 1965 and was dedicated to Springfield College President Laurence Locke Doggett, President of the college for forty years. The International Center originally consisted of a suite of three newly decorated rooms, of which the main one was named "The Laurence Locke Doggett Room," on the first floor of Alumni Hall. The International Center officially became the Laurence Locke Doggett International Center on November 18, 1972. At that time it was located in Marsh Memorial Building on the second floor. Dr. Attalah A. Kidess, the center's first director, believed it would serve to centralize SC's international outreach. A statement that has proved true well into the 2010s. Though its location has moved throughout the years, it remains the center for Springfield College's International Outreach.

National Volleyball Tournaments (May 27, 1951)
No full textPrinted on May 27, 1951 by the Springfield Sunday Republican, this section celebrates the five National Volleyball Championship Tournaments hosted by Springfield College: the National Open, Y.M.C.A., Women's, Veterans' and National collegiate champions. Containing mostly photographs of different volleyball games, the article has a brief section covering the history of volleyball and the sport’s creator, William G. Morgan (a Springfield College graduate, Class of 1894). There is also a section about the team from the University of Mexico, coached by Professor Rafael Santoyo, which beat the Springfield College Volleyball Club in the final match to take home the International Collegiate Championship of North America. Attended by more than ten thousand spectators, this was the first time these tournaments were held in the east. All games were played at the Springfield College Memorial Field house. “Doc” Walters acted as the official representative of the college, and the officers of the Springfield College Volleyball club were Walt Dobek (President), Wallace Case (Vice-President), and Ted Dreisbach (Secretary-Treasurer). Interestingly enough, Springfield College's Volleyball team was only considered a club at the time, and was not a varsity sport. This didn't stop the "club" from holding multiple championships, including the "National Collegiate Championship, Mid-Western Collegiate Championship, Middle Atlantic Collegiate Championship, Eastern Collegiate Championship, Canadian Championship, and the National Consolation Tournament Championship. The 1952 Massasoit yearbook stated hat "Members of the Volleyball Club play for one reason only. No Varsity letters, no official class cuts, and no school recognition is given to the club members. They play because they love to play volleyball." Marshall "Doc" Walters was also elected Vice President of the National Volleyball Association during his advisorship of the club. Wilbur Peck, a member of the club, was elected to the Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1999.Two small tears on right side; creases from folding

The formerly named Watershops Pond has 7 miles of shoreline and covers 186 acres. From 1892-1900, the buildings of Springfield College began to come about, and the name was changed to Lake Massasoit by Springfield College officials. The name came from a local hotel, the Massasoit House, owned by Marvin Chapin, a generous benefactor of the college. In 1920, the college purchased a large area of land on the upper end of the pond, and called it the “Freshman Camp.” Since the college was formed, students, faculty and visitors have used the Pond for sailing, swimming, ice skating and fishing. However, the lake was officially closed for swimming in 1984 when the lake was said to be unhealthy
