History
Josephine Young Case joined the
College's board of trustees in 1938 and was a key figure in its
major decisions for the next several decades. She chaired the
board for 11 years and served as acting president for 15 months
following President Val Wilson's sudden death in 1964. A poet
and novelist, she is perhaps most warmly remembered for her elegant
"Charge to the Architects," which guided the development
of the new campus.
Porter Plaza is named for David H. Porter, Skidmore president
from 1987 to 1998. The Burgess cybercafe is named for benefactors
Marjorie Litz Burgess '49 and husband, Richard.
Case Center was expanded and
renovated in 2000.
