Running Time: 50:42


Let’s Play 6 Degrees of Separation. There are 2 actors in this episode who will go on to co-star-in separate movies that featured Faye Dunaway. One will even win an academy award for their work. Name the 2 films, about 8 years apart, and name the two actors involved.

Administration Building. I don’t remember there ever being that many cars parked there-do you?


Fun Fact: Gladys Cooper had a supporting role here about 2 years before she played Mrs Higgins in My Fair Lady.


Rose Hill makes a reappearance at the 48:24 mark as the closing credits start to roll.


Personal Aside: There are scenes in a chemistry lab that could be Fordham? Without any outside windows and knowing the old chemistry building has not been in use since the 1970s it is impossible to know if the lab tables and beakers are from the university or recreated on a soundstage?


Quiz Answer: 

Paul Burke worked with Dunaway in the original The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Beatrice Straight won an academy award for her performance in Network (1976). Incredible when you recall just how small a part it was, but Ms. Straight made it special.

Tale Of Two Universities And How They Handled A Closed College

  Long Island University & the closing of Southampton College vs. Fordham & the Closing of Marymount College in Tarrytown. L.I.U. In the course of the Southampton campus tenure under Long Island University, it produced 34 Fulbright scholars, most of which hailed from the marine science program. After many years of fiscal mismanagement, the University announced a multimillion-dollar capital campaign, launched a new interdisciplinary CORE curriculum and the construction of a new library to revamp the campus. After one year of a 10-year plan however, Long Island University officials ceased all plans, and Long Island University decided to effectively close the campus. On March 24, 2006, SUNY announced a final agreement for the purchase of the 81-acre (330,000 m2) Southampton College property from L.I.U. SUNY paid US $35 million ($54,792,500 in 2025.) for the 84-acre campus and its waterfront facility for its famed Marine Biology Department, as well as the NPR-affiliated WLIU FM...

The Fordham College Of Pharmacy Closing

Image
  THE FORDHAM COLLEGE OF PHARMACY CLOSING A number of factors impacted the closing of Fordham University's College of Pharmacy in 1972. Among them the national academic upgrading of pharmacist academic requirements; the changing role of independent pharmacies during the growth of chain retail stores; Fordham's lack of training pharmacy graduates for work in hospital settings as well as the industrial side of this field; The persistent rumor of then various school administrators' lack of support for retaining an expensive college at a Catholic Institution where most of the students were Jewish; Finally, the school's economic downturn in the 1970s bringing this to a head. In 1910 Jacob Diner, M.D., both a pharmacist and physician, received permission to create the Fordham College of Pharmacy. He became the first Jewish dean in the history of the University. Opening in 1912, it moved into the building known today as Thebaud Hall in 1914.   ( Fordham Centurion ©1941) Ford...

  Michele Beach Harrington                                                                                             Executive Director- Alumni and Employer Engagement Long Island University  I was a little nervous meeting her; In large part because she drove up to meet me. We picked a diner in Brewster, NY so she could return home easily, via I-684, to the Long Island campus. For those of us, of a certain age, Michele was quick to remember, “That Brewster is the town where ‘That Girl’ was from.” (Marlo Thomas’ character in the ...
