April 11, 1992 Dr. L. Earl Griswold, professor at Western Maryland
April 11, 1992 Dr. L. Earl Griswold, professor at Western
Maryland Obituary
http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/04/april-11-1992-dr-l-earl-griswold.html
http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/04/april-11-1992-dr-l-earl-griswold.html
Dr. Griswold was a fixture at the Westminster United
Methodist Church. I grew up in the Westminster United Methodist Church and spent
much of my childhood, going back to the 1950s, at Western Maryland College –
now McDaniel. I have the vaguest memories of Old Main…. Up until the early
1970s, the college was affiliated with the Methodist Church. I was part of the
first summer church camps that were integrated at the college. And I have fond
memories of talking with Dr. Ensor about the integration of the college.
I have very clear and fond memories of Dr. Griswold. In
addition to my memories of Dr. Griswold at church and up at the college, he was
also the dad of a Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate.
He was very kind and always had time for those of us who had
a keen interest in the college and the academic – and religious worldview. I
was especially intrigued with his films – and his interest in traveling and
documenting his travels.
I use many things I learned from Dr. Griswold – to this day.
We should never forget the folks who went before us and paved the way for the
infrastructure and community we enjoy today.
I had saved a place in my writing schedule to write about
him upon the anniversary of his death, but once again, this year, current
events have overtaken that opportunity. Perhaps I’ll do it anyway out of linear
sequence. I’m not much a fan of linear history anyway. Just saying. God Bless
you and your work, Dr. Griswold…..

Services for L. Earl Griswold, retired chairman of the
sociology department at Western Maryland College, will be held at 2 p.m.
tomorrow at the Westminster United Methodist Church.
Dr. Griswold, who was 71, died Thursday after an apparent
heart attack at his home in Westminster. He retired five years ago as chairman
of the sociology department, and had taught courses in anthropology at the
college since 1956.
In the 1970s, he made films, many of them on deafness and
others on anthropological research in conjunction with the college, and also
promotional films for Carroll County and other Maryland subdivisions.
In 1972, one of the films on deafness, "They Grow in
Silence," won an award from the Public Broadcasting System. The college
for many years has had an extensive degree program accommodating deaf students.
[…]
During World War II, he flew B-17s in Europe for the Army
Air Corps. He was a psychological warfare officer for the Air Force during the
Korean War.

Carroll County Firefighters respond to minor chemical spill at McDaniel College
Firefighters from Westminster New Windsor, Reese, and the
Carroll County Hazmat response team responded Thursday morning to a minor
chemical spill at McDaniel College
Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 staff report
Thursday, December 17, 2015
The Carroll County operations center first received a call
at approximately 9 a.m. this morning with a report of a small chemical spill on
the second floor of Eaton Hall.
At 9:06 a.m. emergency units were dispatched from the Westminster,
New Windsor, Reese fire departments, and the Carroll County Hazmat response
team.
Campus officials later reported, “A minor laboratory
chemical spill occurred in Eaton Hall this morning. Local authorities
immediately responded and quickly determined that this was not a life
threatening situation. Cleanup is currently in progress. As a precaution, Eaton
and Lewis Hall will reopen on Monday morning for regular business hours.”
The first units arrived on scene at 9:10 a.m. with
Westminster chief 3-1 in command. Upon arrival, firefighters evacuated the
building. At that time the Carroll County hazmat response team monitored the
building and evaluated the situation and determined that there was no danger to
the public.
According to Westminster fire department officials, the
incident involved a small accidental spill involving 3-Heptanone which had
spilled down an elevator shaft while being transported by cart.
One person involved in the incident was medically evaluated
on the scene by paramedics, but not transported to the hospital. There were no
injuries.
The building was returned to McDaniel at 11:15 a.m. for
building repairs and minor cleaning. Firefighters and equipment remained on the
scene until 11:30 a.m.

On Sept. 12, 1924, Westminster, along with communities
across the nation, observed National Defense Day.
At the time, the event was billed as a nationwide drill to
test the readiness of our nation's defenses in the event of an attack.
[…]
Many local businesses, fire companies, schoolchildren, the
Westminster Municipal Band and the Western Maryland College Football squad all
took part in the parade.
The article also goes to great lengths to explain: "The
members of Company H Machine Gun Company entertained the crowd with
demonstrations in machine gun firing... Four machine guns were set up on the
southern terrace of Hoffa field (at Western Maryland College — now known as
McDaniel College) with four targets… The shooting was decidedly accurate.…
Tracer bullets were used in the final shooting event. One target was a five
gallon can of gasoline which was struck by the second shot. The can flamed in a
mass when struck by the bullet."
Somehow, I simply cannot imagine such an occasion these
days.
