Frank R. Cubley, Potsdam, was one of 10 individuals to be inducted into Paul Smith’s College Hall of Fame on Oct. 22.

“When the college was chartered in 1937, Mr. Cubley became a member of the Board of Trustees. From 1948 until his death in 1960 he served as the president of the board. He was also the head of the Executive Committee of the college and had been instrumental in its phenomenal growth, resulting in it being the largest private junior college in New York State. Mr. Cubley was a well-known attorney of Potsdam. As a memorial to Mr. Cubley and in gratitude for his long service to the college, the new library, in 1960, was named the Frank L. Cubley Library,” a college press release stated.

Prior to the Hall of Fame Celebration, there was the official unveiling of the Paul Smith’s Conference Room at Hotel Saranac something that was announced in June 2021. The room and adjacent hallway are adorned with historical images from Paul Smith’s College.
