09 autumn reporter 1-20 - Franklin College

Joe Van Valer ’59
“At a Franklin College term registration I encountered
professor I. George Blake, who was my counselor. I had
been so wrapped up with the fear that I did not learn
everything and couldn’t do everything upon graduation
from high school that there was a complete absence of
any idea of what a college student could or should do.
Professor Blake gave me a mountain of information about
all of the steps that college students should relentlessly
pursue. Then, he got to the really important matters,
which were not really advice but orders to pursue!
I was told to major in history (he taught history) and
become an SAE (he was an SAE), and if I encountered
any difficulty I should immediately contact him.
Professor Blake’s home was only three houses from the
SAE house and generally I talked with him very often,
and he initiated most conversations. He offered a
considerable amount of advice as well as direction.
He also treated me quite well in the classroom.
Another memorable person on the staff was Dr. Mary
Owen. She instilled my love of history as well as the
importance of knowing about our evolution and how
we moved forward to where we are. An overwhelming
amount of information was directed to students in a
matter to create the desire to pursue more. She taught
us the value of historical study and understanding. I will
never forget that history continues, and its study shall
remain as an extremely valuable and interesting pursuit.”
