Development NEWS Social Parlor dedicated to Louise Price The Louise Price Social Parlor was dedicated during Alumni Weekend 2010 in memory of a woman who had influenced Lake Erie students for many years. Louise Price was director of residence in College Hall from 1956 through 1972. She ruled College Hall with grace, dignity and an iron fist, but she was dearly beloved by all of “her” students. The Class of 1960 led an initiative as part of Lake Erie’s Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2006 to renovate and rename Social Parlor in Mrs. Price’s honor. Eighty-three alumnae who had lived in College Hall under the leadership of Louise Price donated to the fund, which was a wonderful tribute to a remarkable woman. The Louise Price Social Parlor was renovated in fall 2006 and has become again a fitting setting for the priceless antiques and collections that are housed there. It is almost possible to feel the spirit of the students, faculty and guests who have studied and socialized there since the early days of the Seminary. Mrs. Price would be pleased indeed. Class of 1960 endows scholarship fund The Class of 1960 has reached their goal of raising $50,000 to establish an endowed scholarship fund; this is the largest gift ever given by a Lake Erie College class. Fifty-six members and friends contributed to the scholarship. Leaders of the fundraising effort were 1960 alumnae Joan (Blanchard) Gay, Kathie (Stamm) Havener and Delores (Persichitti) Saada. These ladies were instrumental in encouraging their classmates to donate to the fund, and the College thanks them for their special efforts. of the three pillars of the College: Excellence. Tradition. Service,” President Victor said. The Class of 1960 established this Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund during Homecoming/Alumni Weekend 2010 in honor of their 50th anniversary and in memory of their deceased classmates. The scholarship will be awarded beginning in 2012 to students demonstrating financial need, with preference given to students who have shown a high level of commitment to their classmates and/or the College through their individual or group efforts and activities. “We are touched by the generosity of the Class of 1960. Their commitment to their alma mater, their respect for their fellow classmates and their legacy to those who will benefit reminds us 30 L A K E E R I E | FALL ‘11
