| Skidmore College is Chartered |
Although its charter only permitted the Skidmore School of
Arts to offer secondary level courses, the ambitious President Keyes began
to introduce collegiate level instruction into the curriculum. The
School slowly began phasing out its secondary level courses throughout
decade, and by the early 1920s, was poised to offer its students baccalaureate
degrees. In 1922, President Keyes won over the Board of Regents,
and the Skidmore School of Arts became Skidmore College, a four-year degree-granting
institution. |
