| As part of its 50th
anniversary observance, West Virginia University at Parkersburg recognized the WV
Legislature's March 3rd, 1961 confirmation of legislation
allowing the creation of branch colleges. The campus community and area
residents observed the milestone with a campus brunch Thursday (March
3). B.L.
Coffindaffer, who served as director of the branch from 1963 to
1971, spoke of the branch's early days. WVU
Parkersburg President Marie Foster Gnage presented Coffindaffer with a
replica of the original bell from the college's first location, an
elementary school building. |
