Happy Anniversary Hartline Science Center!
Fifty years ago today, April 26, 1969, Hartline Science enter was dedicated. The campus now had a new state-of-the-art science classroom and laboratory facility. Hartline Science Center was named in honor of the Hartline family: Professor Daniel S. Hartline, chair of the biology department from 1897-1935; his wife Harriet Keffer Hartline, a member of the biology faculty; and his son Haldan Keffer Hartline, a 1920 graduate of the college prep program at the Bloomsburg State Normal School and 1968 Nobel laureate in medicine for his work on the mechanisms of vision. Below is the description from the dedication day program.
