Back to the Alumnae Association Home PageThe purpose/mission of the Cedar Crest Alumnae Museum is to preserve the history of Cedar Crest College and to develop/foster an appreciation of the history of women.
Museum History "The Cedar Crest Alumnae Museum opened its doors for the first
time for a Reunion in May of 1992 in conjunction with the college's 125th anniversary.
Through the years, Priscilla Gelach Rosendale '52, Althea Mantz '45, and I
nurtured a dream for a permanent place to keep our 'treasures' from the past.
This all came true when the Alumnae were given storage and display space in
Curtis Hall. Later, this space would expand during the summer of 1996.
My second goal for the museum was to provide a paid internship program available
initially for Juniors and Seniors, but more recently, to Sophomores as well.
Interns are given opportunities to plan exhibits using fashions and memorabilia
collected since 1867. Students who wish to stay with the Museum after their
internship may become paid Museum Associates. We also provide a Museum Work
Study program to other students who are interested in working to preserve this
part of Cedar Crest College's past."
Marcia Root Walsh,
Class of 1951
Alumnae Museum Curator
" The Alumnae Museum is a time machine. It lets us travel back to opening night
of a Greek play fifty years ago or graduation in 1890 or the wedding of one of
our alumnae. Through the imagination and support of Marcia Walsh and other dear
friends of the College, the clothes and other treasures of past days come alive
and let us relive those sweet earlier times at Cedar Crest."
Dr. Dorothy Gulbenkian Blaney,
President of Cedar Crest College
" When women's colleges were first started people had the idea that a college
girl was quite out of the ordinary. She was advanced. She was supposed to be
not only studying the classics, but to be striving for a better, saner mode of
life; a more rational style of dress; in short, to be an example to the community.
Well, she was. For a few years we had a number of awkward, corsetless females,
with hair 'slicked' back tight, flat-heeled boots, unfitted gowns, and possibly
spectacles, who stood for the type of a college girl, and who were not one whit
better psychically than their trimly corseted sisters."

Daughters and Granddaughters of Alumnae are invited to become a part of the Cedar Crest College Alumnae Daughters' Club!
Your daughter or granddaughter will become a senior in high school one day
and will want to go to college. Unfortunately, daughters do not always listen
to their mothers and grandmothers as much as they should, so the Cedar Crest
College Admissions Office can help! Let us introduce your daughter or granddaughter
to the Cedar Crest family and what we have to offer by enrolling her in the
Alumnae Daughters' Club!
It is very easy. Please complete this registration form now!
By being a member of the Alumnae Daughters' Club, she will receive information
about Cedar Crest as she approaches high school graduation. And thanks to you,
she will be eligible for a Heritage Grant, a Cedar Crest College Program especially
for daughters and granddaughters of Cedar Crest graduates.
Please help the Cedar Crest family grow as your family grows. If the future
includes an addition to your family, please enroll your daughter as soon as
possible.

The purpose of P.I.N. is to establish and maintain a source of funding in support of activities that will enhance the education of nursing students at Cedar Crest College.
Among the activities supported by P.I.N. include:
Additional funding will provide for expansion of activities to include Student Recognition Awards, purchase of teaching materials, and community interdisciplinary lectures.

alumnae, other healthcare professionals, faculty, and community leaders,
Partners in Nursing has received contributions of nearly $100,000 during
its first five years of operation.
Gifts to P.I.N. are tax deductible and are administered by the Development
