“If the (Historic Preservation
Program) wasn’t in existence, I
don’t know that anyone would
have found these things,” Singer
said.
Tepfer said the program has
been a great help to University
Planning.
“We rely on the expertise of fac
ulty and students in die program,”
Tepfer said. “We’re reminded
everyday how important that pro
gram is. It has helped us preserve
the asset of a beautiful campus.”
George Bleekman, a project
manager for University Facilities
Services, surveyed the restored
west-facing facade of Villard Hall.
Decorations and ornaments that
were part of the original building
have been faithfully and accurate
ly restored to their 1886 appear
ance.
Students from a historic preser
vation class that Bleekman taught
have been doing work on the Vil
lard Hall restoration project,
which should be completed this
summer, he said.
“ Students actually get to do a lot
of hands-on work,” he said. “It’s
an almost unheard of opportunity
in the United States to have
novices working on a National
Landmark,”
The partnership between Facili
ties Services and the Historic
Preservation Program has been
mutually beneficial, Bleekman
said.
The Historic Preservation Pro

from the fine arts, architecture,
and planning, public policy and
management programs, under

review sound familiar to many
people in the University’s smaller,
underfunded programs.
“After nearly two decades of re
markable achievement with mini
mal University funding, the His
toric Preservation Program stands
at a crossroads,” the report stated.
It went on to describe the state of
the “overworked and exhausted
regular and adjunct faculty” and
warned that the program is in dan
ger without increased funding.
Many within the program fear
that the services, which exist now
largely due to volunteerism and
the passion of adjunct professors,
will fall apart if more money is not
made available.
“A lot of the adjuncts [are] do
ing this more for love than mon
ey,” said Scott Bogle, a Historic
Preservation master’s student
identified by others as a leader
within the program. He said he is
worried who will pick up the ball
when the program’s current direc
tor, Don Peting, retires.
The Historic Preservation Pro
gram’s budget comes out of the ar
chitecture school’s discretionary
fund.
Architecture and Allied Arts
Dean Robert Melnick said he is do
ing what he can to put more mon
ey into the program. He described
it as “very important to the
school,” but said “it’s not as if
there’s a lot of discretionary mon
ey that I’m funneling elsewhere,”
he said.
He said he recently allocated
some funds from private dona
tions to the Historic Preservation
Program.
For Singer, the Historic Preser
vation Program goes way beyond
discovering architectural treas
ures in the darkened corners of
this campus: The work the pro
gram does has a greater societal
impact.
“You can’t ignore the fact that
when you just remove any refer
ence to history in a place, you lose
your connection to it. Historic
preservation revitalizes communi
ties.”
