OHLONE COLLEGE

long before Spanish priests named local Indians Costanoans, they were known by a neighboring Miwuk Tribe as the Ohlones or people of the West Distinouished by peaceful pursuits, especially In agriculture, they held profound reverence for the earth, believing it was theirs for living and not for the taking. They aided the Franciscan Fathers in building the Mission San Jose de Guadalupe in the late 18th Century, and prospered until 1809 when an epidemic virtually destroyed the tribe. However, some descendants still live in this area. It was in recognition of these early distinguiShed people, and those who followed them, that Ohlone College derived its name on June 28, 1967

DEDICATION

WEEK

â&#x20AC;˘ MAY 11-18,1975

PRESIDENT OF THE FREMONT-NEWARK COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES I view Ohlone College Dedication Week with great pleasure, and on behalf of other members of the College community in particular, and the citizens and voters of our two cities in general, with intense pride. More than a decade has gone by since the concept of a local community college was first tentatively discussed by local community leaders. We who are privileged to serve now owe these visionaries a great debt. Many of them will be with us this Dedication Week and we especially take note of their good works at this time. We have now a fine plant, a first-rate faculty and staff and thousands of students. And we've only just begun. Let us take this opportun ity to ded icate not on Iy these handsome bu i Idings - but also to rededicate ourselves to the Goals and Objectives of this institution.

Dedicatory Statell1ents

/PRESIDENT

The new campus of Ohlone College is the result of the vision and hard work of many citizens, including laymen, board members, staff and students. Special recognition at this time of dedication should be given to the pioneers who laid the ground work, long before the December, 1965 election authorizing a college district. Our appreciation goes to all who aided in creating a college to serve the educational needs of the citizens of Fremont and Newark ... of all races and of both sexes, of all religions and of all ages. The future of the College, although appearing bright, is not assured and will depend on the continued support and efforts of the people through the years to come. Ohlone College must continue to improve its programs and develop new ones in the future to meet all the educational needs of the Fremont-Newark community.

r ~~ Dr. Stephen E. Epler

PRESIDENT-ELECT Dedication of the campus is a significant achievement in the progress of Ohlone College. The hopes and plans of district citizens, who conceived the idea of establishing a community college within the FremontNewark environs, have become a reality. Long hours of work by members of the Board of Trustees and countless meetings of staff, in addition to normal academic and administrative endeavors, has resulted in a beautiful and functional campus. Much remains to be accomplished in completion of the campus and strengthening instruCtional programs. Challenges remain and will be met. As with all things, flux is the order of nature, nothing is static. Notwithstanding, we have reached an important plateau which best may be described as "the end of the beginning." In paraphrase of the Greek philsopher, Horace, who stated it well, he who has begun has but half the work done.

Dr. William B. Richter

The College offers an excellent curriculum to meet the educational needs of students and the community.

COLLEGE

. HISTORY

The Fremont-Newark Community College District came into existence on December 5,1965, the result of a 73 percent affirmative vote by the people. In January, 1966, a sevenmember Board of Trustees had been elected and was functioning, and in July, 1966, Dr. Stephen E. Epler became the first district superintendent and the first president of Ohlone College. Classes began on September 25,1967, at the former Serra Center Home for Girls at 650 Washington Boulevard, Fremont, which served as the temporary home of Ohlone College until September, 1975. Adjunct temporary classrooms also were established in Fremont and Newark schools, the former Fremont City Hall, Mission Boulevard, and Our Saviour Lutheran Church. FOllowing a year-long search by a Citizens' Site Selection Committee and feasibility studies, the Board of Trustees unanimously selected this location, which had been the Huddleson Ranch, located in the Mission foothills for the college's permanent campus. The master architectural plan was drawn by Ernest J. Kump and Associates, of Palo Alto. A contract for the first phase of construction was awarded to the general contracting firm of Rothschild and Raffin, of San Francisco, in December, 1971 and construction began on the new campus in January, 1972. This consisted of the Learning Resources Center, four large classroom buildings and two lecture halls.

AND

DEVELOPMENT

The second phase of construction was awarded to Dickman Construction, Inc., of Mountain View to include a college center - housing a bookstore and food services - the gymnasium, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a warehouse, two outdoor playing fields, and additional parking facilities. Portions of this phase have been or are in the process of com pletion. These buildings were set against a backdrop of the Mission San Jose hills, giving an appearance of a close-knit, compact community which the architect described as an "educational village." The cluster-type construction, emphasizing tiled roofs, adobe-like stucco walls and numerous walkways, was designed to blend with existing arch itecture of nearby Mission San Jose as developed by the early Franciscan fathers. Even though this beautiful campus is being dedicated, much remains for its continuing development. This is exemplified in the stark contrast that when the doors of the temporary campus were opened, enrollment was 1 ,670. Today, 8,500 students use these faci Iities; testament to the fact that Oh lone College is a viable, growing educational facility. Thus, in a broader sense, the dedication is not a culmination but a plateau to the beginning of more to come as the College looks to the future and the needs of an ever-growing, expanding community.
