Opening:
Plans to establish an engineering camp for Cooper Union, New York City, on the Hewitt estate in the Ramapoo Mountains near Ringwood, N.J., were adopted at a recent meeting of the Cooper Union Board of Trustees. Norvin Hewitt Green has offered to convey by gift a tract of 150 acres to the union as a memorial to his mother, the late Amy Hewitt Green, daughter of Abram S. Hewitt, former mayor of New York, and granddaughter of Peter Cooper. Title to the property, which will be known as the Green Engineering Camp [...] will pass to Cooper Union early in January. [...] the camp will be opened in 1940 as a summer center of engineering education. [...] Dr. Gano Dunn, president of the union, pointed out that the Cooper and Hewitt families have been intimately associated with the institution since its founding by Peter Cooper in 1859 as a free school for the education of the working classes, and have made vital contributions to its progress.
Founding meeting of Society of Women Engineers:
The meeting was called to order by the president Phyllis Evans. The meeting was a continuation of the meeting held on May 27th, 1950. [...]a motion was made and passed to make Dr. Gilbreth an honorary member.
Closing:
John F. White, president of Cooper Union, said the camp would be closed Saturday pursuant to a unanimous vote by the school's 11‐member board of trustees. "For years now the camp has been tremendously underutilized while our expenses have gone up. Last year, upkeep charges were $150,000 (equivalent to $1,092,600 in 2023) and we feel that we cannot continue to commit our resources to maintaining the camp," Mr. White said.

In Cooper_Union#Financial crisis_and tuition controversy, there is a "Free Cooper Union" link currently for cusos.org ... this currently gives an error, but here is the last working archived version.
Some current related pages are 10-year-plan and Your Support Matters. There's also the Free Cooper Union home page, which is basically a "links" page with topics pertinent to the "Free Cooper Union" movement.
This issue also affects Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests (under "external links"). Fabrickator ( talk) 03:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
