General Information
The College
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary offers college courses for young men and women, and during 1947-1948 will provide limited preparatory work for college admission.
Location
It is located at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, "The Queen City of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River," on the famed Sus- quehanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York, and Wash- ington, D. C. Williamsport is famed for its picturesque scenery, its beautiful homes, and the culture and kindness of its people. The Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads, with their fast trains, and the Lakes-to-Sea and the Greyhound Busses put it within two hours' reach of Harrisburg, four and a half of Philadelphia, and six hours of Pittsburgh and New York.
History
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded in 1848 by a group of men of Williamsport under the leadership of Rev. Ben- jamin H. Crever, who, hearing that the old Williamsport Academy was about to be discontinued, proposed to accept the school and conduct it as a Methodist educational institution. Their offer was accepted and, completely reorganized, with a new president and faculty, it opened September, 1848, as Dickinson Seminary, under the patronage of the old Baltimore Conference. It was acquired in 1869 and is still owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Church, and is regularly chartered under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. It is not a money-making institution. All of its earnings as well as the generous gifts of its friends have been spent for maintenance and improvements. During a large part of its history its curriculum covered the work now included in a high school course and at the same time included about two years of college work. By its charter it is empowered to grant degrees, which authority was for a time exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself to the college prepara- tory field and continued in that field until 1929. From that date until June 1947 it operated as a Junior College. The increased college attendance following the war, and trends in higher educa-
10
tion in recent years clearly indicate need for more 4-year colleges. After giving the matter careful consideration, the Board of Di- rectors, at a special meeting January, 1947 authorized and set in motion plans to adopt a four-year college program. This catalogue, therefore, contains an announcement of subjects for the first three years of college. The fourth year will begin September, 1948. College preparatory work will not extend beyond the close of the year 1947-1948.
The campus is located near the center of the city on a slight eminence, which causes the school to be affectionately referred to as "The School Upon the Hilltop." Stately elms, maples, and trees of other varities add beauty and dignity to the campus and form an attractive setting for the imposing buildings. To the south and across the Susquehanna, within twenty minutes' walk is the beautiful Bald Eagle Range of the Allegheny Mountains, af- fording a view of perennial charm. To the north are the Grampian Hills. In fact, Williamsport, "beautiful for location," is seldom surpassed or equaled in its wealth of beautiful scenery.
Aim
It is the aim of Williamsport Dickinson to provide education for properly qualified high school or preparatory school graduates along the following lines :
1. Education of a general nature to provide a background for intelligent understanding and appreciation of the economic, political, historical, social, scientific, and religious aspects of life.
2. Education preparatory to specialization in the professions of law, medicine, dentistry, engineering, etc., and to grad- uate work in some field of concentration.
3. Terminal education in secretarial courses for business and medicine.
Cultural Influences
Williamsport Dickinson aims to develop in its students an easy familiarity with the best social forms and customs. Young men and women meet in the dining hall, at receptions, and other social functions. These contacts together with frequent talks by in- structors do much to develop poise and social ease. Persons of prominence are brought to the school for talks and lectures, and excellent talent is provided by community organizations which bring the best artistic talent to the city. Students whose grades justify it are permitted and urged to take advantage of these opportunities.

Admission and Registration
Complete application forms for admission to Williamsport-Dick- inson may be secured from the President, Registrar, or from the Administrative Offices.
Applicants who are accepted will receive a statement evaluating their high school credits and granting freshman classification. Those rejected will be notified.
A registration fee of $10.00 for boarding students and $5.00 for day students is required with the application. This fee is re- funded in case the application is rejected. A request for room reservations in the college dormitories for both new and returning students may be made with a reservation payment of $25.00. This fee is applied to the main bill and is not returnable after July 15, except upon rejection of application.
Requirements for Admission
Applicants for admission must present:
1. Certificate of graduation from an approved high school showing credit for the following:
a. English — i years
b. History — 1 year
c. Science — 1 year
d. Mathematics — 2 years (Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry)
e. Electives — 8 years
Total — 16 years
2. Scholastic standing in upper three-fifths of high school class.
Applicants not meeting the above requirements may be ad- mitted upon satisfactory performance in an aptitude test for college work.
Requirements for Graduation
Williamsport Dickinson will award the Bachelor of Arts degree only. This is in accord with the objective of providing a back- ground of knowledge in the humanities, social studies, and sciences. It is assumed that an intelligent understanding of the past enables one better to appreciate the present and to plan more ably for the future. Accordingly, certain required courses are listed for these
12
areas. In addition a student should have selected by the end of his sophomore year some field of concentration in which he wishes to specialize.
The liberal arts program is basic to the professions of Medi- cine, Theology, Teaching, Law, Dentistry, and is desirable in En- gineering Science, Pharmacy, Nursing and Veterinary. The re- quirements for graduation at Williamsport Dickinson permit these pre-requisite subjects.

Any grade below "D" is indicated by "F" and no credit is given for this course. Averages are determined on the point system where an A counts 3 points per hour, B counts 2 points per hour, C counts 1 point per hour, D carries no point value, and F counts- 1 point per hour.

Special Information
Discipline
The discipline of the college is firm, reasonable, and sympathe- tic. All students are considered responsible citizens and members of a Christian community. Any student who is antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose, or who fails to abide by the regulations set up by the college may be asked to withdraw from the college at any time during the school year.
Regulations
The school regulations in addition to those published here are furnished each student upon matriculation.
Students from a distance are required to reside in the dormi- tories. Permission for any exception to this rule must be obtained from the Administration.
Money and valuables should be placed in the school safe; the college will not assume responsibility unless this is done.
No intoxicants or drinking of intoxicants is permitted.
Permission to maintain automobiles on the campus must be obtained from the administration.
Dormitories
Rooms at Williamsport-Dickinson are furnished as follows: Desk, bureau, chair, single bed, mattress, and pillow are provided. Students must bring their bed linen, blankets, and study lamp with them.
It has been the policy of the college to furnish bed linen and blankets and to provide laundry service; but with the beginning of the college year 1947-1948 both of these services will be dis- continued; accordingly, a reduction of $25.00 is made in living expenses. The students will therefore make arangements for their own laundry service. We recommend six sheets (single bed), three pillow cases, and two double-blankets.
Damage and breakage in the room will be the responsibility of the students assigned there.
Teachers and students remaining at Williamsport-Dickinson during the short vacations will be charged $2.00 for each day or part of a day. Parents or guardians visiting pupils are the guests of the college for meals for the first twenty-four hours. Other guests may be entertained if permission is secured from the Presi- dent. Their student hosts are expected to pay the regular rates for their entertainment.
20
Student Insurance
By a special group plan our students are able to secure accident insurance, covering medical and hospital expenses for injuries re- ceived on the campus. The limit of coverage for women is $600.00 and for men $250.00. All students are advised to carry this pro- tection.
General Expenses
Following are the rates covering tuition, board and special fees. Board includes furnished room and board at the college dining hall. Tuition includes the normal schedule of from 12 to 16 hours per semester, including physical education, or for veterans excused from physical education 12 to 15 semester hours. Additional credit beyond the normal schedule is charged at the rate of ten dollars for each semester hour credit. In line with the increase in salaries, repair and up-keep of buildings, and other general expenses, an increase of $50.00 per year is made in tuition. Fees are listed and assessed as they apply.
