SUMMER SESSIONS FOUNDED AT HUNTINGTON LAKE
Busy as he was with developing the new campus, McLane
took time to establish the normal school's Sierra Summer
Session in 1914 in an abandoned power company work
camp at Cascade. Two years later it was relocated on 14
acres near Huntington Lake.
There students could combine summer fun and outdoor
study, and an estimated 5,000 had participated in the annual
six week sessions by the time rising costs and declining attendance forced the school's closing in 1948.
With the establishment of the Fresno Teachers College
the Fresno Junior College at the high school joined the college on the present campus.
Enrollment increases necessitated more adequate equipment. To meet the increase of the college the 1925 legislature
appropriated $50,000 for the purchase of land. The appropriation was used to obtain the present site of the college
stadium. Construction costs of $51,000 were raised by the
sale of investment certificates. The installation of the lighting
system for evening athletic events was made with an additional expenditure of $9,000.
During the summer of 1925 a new training school building was erected on the north side of the campus. The removal of the training department from the main building
released many class rooms for the use of regular college
classes.
FRANK W. THOMAS became the second college
president in 1927 and retired in 1948 at the
age of 70.
NORMAL SCHOOL coeds, wearing high button shoes, long dresses and their hair in a bun, flocked
to the cafeteria in 1916.
PARKING SPACE was no problem in 1922—few students owned cars and the streets were long and wide.
