The Cecil C. Tyrrell Award – photo
from the 1949 college year
book "The Citadel“. In April,
1946, the New York Legislature
passed a bill providing for an
Institute of Applied Arts and
Sciences to be founded in
Binghamton. The problem of
securing the right person,
qualified to direct its material,
as well as its academic
development, was the first task
in forming the institute. After
four months of search, Mr.
Cecil C. Tyrrell was selected as
Director of the Institute.
