General Information
The School
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY is a high
grade boarding school for both sexes. It offers two years
of college and four years of preparatory work, also
courses in music, art, expression, and business.
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 Washing-
ton, D. C. Statistics prove it to be the healthiest city in the State
of Pennsylvania, and it is reported to be the third healthiest city in
the United States. Williamsport is famous for its picturesque
scenery, its beautiful homes, and the culture and kindness of its
people. The Pennsylvania, the Reading, and the New York Central
Railroads, with their fast trains, put it within two hours' reach of
Harrisburg, four and a half hours of Philadelphia, and six hours
of Pittsburgh.
History
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded in 1848 by a
group of men of Williamsport under the leadership of Rev. Benja-
min 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 Episcopal
Church, and is regularly chartered under the laws of the State of
Pennsylvania. It is not a money-making institution. All of its
'From these gates sorrou' flies afar.
See here be all the pleasures
That fancy can beget on youthful thoughts.
earnings as well as the generous gifts of its friends have been spent
for maintenance and improvements. During a large part of its his-
tory 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 au-
thority was for a time exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself
to the college preparatory field and continued in that field till 1929.
After considering both the opportunity and the need of doing more
advanced work, the Board of Directors at their meeting in October,
1928, voted to continue the college preparatory and general
academic work, and to add two years of college work, paralleling
the freshman and sophomore years in a liberal arts college. These
junior college courses are outlined herein and may be found on
later pages of this catalogue.
Grounds and Buildings
The campus is located near the center of the City on a slight
eminence, which causes the Seminary to be affectionately referred
to as "the school upon the hilltop." Stately elms, maples, and trees
of other variety 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 beau-
tiful Bald Eagle Range of the Allegheny Mountains, affording 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.
On the campus stand the buildings conveniently grouped. They
are of brick and steel construction, heated by steam from a central
plant, lighted by electricity and supplied throughout with hot and
cold water and all modern conveniences. The rooms are large, airy
and well lighted.
The Main Building is an imposing structure of brick and occu-
pies the central part of the campus. In this building are the ad-
ministrative offices, dining room, chapel, school parlor, class rooms,
and dormitories. There are hardwood floors throughout.
"// you played your part In the world of men,
The Critic will call it good."
Bradley Hall is the Fine Arts Building. It was erected in 1895
of red brick and is modern in construction. The splendid music
studios and practice rooms, the art studios, and the library are here.
The Service Building is also of red pressed brick and is a mod-
em fireproof building. The basement and the first floor house the
heating plant and the laundry. The second and third floors contain
dormitories and are used for the boys of the Junior College.
The G3nmnasium
The new gymnasium, which was dedicated November 8, 1924,
meets the needs for more adequate equipment in the department of
Physical Education which was felt for a long time.
The building itself is 110 ft. by 88 ft. 6 in., of semi-fireproof
construction, and of beautiful design. The exterior is of red brick
corresponding with Bradley Hall and the Service Building, with
limestone and granite trimmings. A feature of the exterior archi-
tecture is a balcony over the entrance portico.
Entrance to the new building is through a pretentious vestibule
flanked on either side with stairs of ornamental iron and marble.
Leading from the entrance hall is a door to a retiring room for
women, provided with ample toilet facilities. To the left is a room
for the Physical Director and an examination room, from which
point of vantage the entire gymnasium is under the personal super-
vision of the Physical Director at all times.
The basement includes a modern swimming pool 20x60 ft.,
equipped with a sterilization and filtration plant. The pool is con-
structed of tile and is amply lighted, with large sash to the open air
making a sunlit pool at nearly all hours of the day.
There are also two bowling alleys of latest design with separate
private rooms and showers for both home and visiting teams. Pro-
vision for private dressing rooms and shower rooms for girls and
women is made.
The gymnasium floor proper is 90x65 ft. with a stage at the
easterly end so that the main floor can readily be converted into an
auditorium if need be, suitable for recitals and even more preten-
tious productions. In every way the building is a center of athletic,
social and cultural activities.
Aim
The purpose of Dickinson Seminary is to prepare students for
their life work in a homelike religious atmosphere at a minimum
cost. In its Preparatory Department it fits its students for any
college or technical school. For those who do not plan to go to
college it offers exceptionally strong courses leading to appropriate
diplomas. In the Junior College Department it aims to give two
years of college work under the most favorable conditions, especially
appealing to those who graduate from high school at an early age
and who would like to take the first two years of college work un-
der conditions affording more intimate personal contacts with the
teachers and assuring personal interest and helpful guidance. It
offers a large amount of college work in the form of electives to
those whose college career will likely be confined to two years.
A Home School
The Seminary recognizes the fact that it is more than a school.
It accepts responsibility for the home life of its students as well.
Every effort is put forth to make the Seminary as home like as pos-
sible. Here lasting friendships are formed, and memories are
stored up to which they may, in future years, look back with affec-
tion and pride.
Cultural Influences
The Seminary aims to develop in its students an easy familiarity
with the best social forms and customs. Young people of both sexes
meet in the dining hall, at receptions, and other social functions.
These contacts together with frequent talks by instructors do much
in this way for both girls and boys. Persons of prominence are
brought to the school for talks and lectures, and excellent talent
provides for recreation and entertainment. Courses of entertain-
ment are provided by community organizations which bring the
10
best artistic talent to the city. Students whose grades justify it
are permitted and urged to take advantage of these opportunities.
Religious Influences
The Seminary is a religious school. It is not sectarian. At
least four religious denominations are represented on its Board of
Directors. Every student is encouraged to be loyal to the church
of his parents. The atmosphere of the school is positively religious.
Every effort is made to induce students to enter upon the Christian
life and be faithful thereto.
A systematic study of the Bible is required of all students.
Regular attendance is required at the daily chapel service. Stu-
dents attend the Sunday morning service at one of the churches in
the city. On Sunday evening all attend a Vesper Service held in
the school chapel. There is a weekly Prayer Service in charge of the
College Pastor, a member of the faculty, or a visiting speaker. There
are chapters of Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Asso-
ciations that do active work in promoting the religious life of the
school.
Through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for
eighteen years President of the Board of Directors, a Department
of Religious Education has been established in the school, and the
professor in charge of this department is also COLLEGE PAS-
TOR and gives a large portion of his time in promoting a helpful
religious atmosphere in the school and in personal interviews with
students on matters of vital interest to them.
Government
It is aimed to develop in each student a sense of loyalty to the
Seminary and a sense of fitness in his actions through the appeals
of ideals and examples. Offenses are dealt with by the withdrawal
of certain student privileges; while good work in class room and
good conduct in school life are rewarded by special privileges
granted only upon the attainment of certain levels of scholarship
and deportment.
11
It is understood that students entering Dickinson Seminary do
so with the intention of making an honest effort to do satisfactory-
work in every respect. Where a student is not able to conform to
the school program, the parents or guardians are asked to withdraw
the student from the school.
Coeducation
Coeducation, properly administered, is both highly satisfactory
and desirable. In a coeducational school where boys and girls asso-
ciate under proper conditions and supervision their mfluences are
mutually helpful. Boys become more refined and careful of their
appearance and conduct. Girls learn to appreciate the sterling
qualities of purposeful boys rather than the more flashy attractions
of the fop when they are permitted to associate and compete with
them in the activities of school life.
The apartments of the girls are entirely separate from those of
the boys. Proper supervision of the girls and boys is maintained
at all times.
Faculty
The Faculty is composed of thoroughly trained, carefully se-
lected Christian men and women. The two ideals they hold before
themselves are scholarship and character. They live with the stu-
dents, room on the same halls, eat at the same tables, and strive in
every way to win their confidence and friendship. The Seminary
aims to make the home and working conditions of the members of
the faculty so pleasant they will be encouraged to do their very
best work and look forward to years of pleasant and helpful service
in the school. This policy has resulted in building up a faculty of
which we are justly proud.
Athletics and Physical Training (Boys)
The object of this department is to promote the general health
and the physical and intellectual efficiency of the students. Per-
sistent effort is made to interest everybody in some form of indoor
and outdoor sports. All forms of sane and healthful exercise are
12
encouraged, but excesses and extravagances are discouraged. The
athletic teams are carefully selected and systematically trained.
They are sent into a game to win if they can, but more emphasis
is placed upon playing the game fair and straight than upon win-
ning. The Seminary is represented each year in inter-scholastic
contests by football, basketball, baseball, track, and tennis teams.
An excellent athletic field offers every facility for football, base-
ball, tennis, and other out-door sports.
Athletics and Physical Training (Girls)
The aim of this work is the care and the development of the
body by means of appropriate exercises. The results to be achieved
are better health, good poise, and the overcoming of such physical
defects as will yield to corrective exercises. A portion of the time
each week is given to physical culture with the purpose that the
body may become free and more graceful. The gymnastic exercises
consist largely of floor work and include arm and leg exercises,
dumbbell, wand and Indian club work. All the girls are given
training in basketball according to girls' rules.
Library
A part of the new equipment to meet the enlarged program of
the Junior College is the library. Commodious, well lighted, and at-
tractive quarters conveniently located in Bradley Hall have been
provided. The equipment is entirely new including steel shelving,
quartered oak tables and chairs, desk, filing cabinet, etc. The more
than six thousand volumes in the old library were carefully as-
sorted, retaining four thousand volumes, to which new carefully se-
lected reference volumes have been added and will continue to be
added. A trained full time librarian and a full time assistant are
in charge and every effort is made to train the student in an intel-
ligent use of the library with its facilities.
The James V. Brown Library is within two squares of the
Seminary. Its large collection of books as well as its courses of
lectures and entertainments are freely open to all students of the
Seminary.
13
The Junior College
The Board of Directors of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary
at their fall meeting in October, 1928, decided to establish a Junior
College Department with a desire to enlarge the scope of service
and influence of the Seminary. This department offers the Fresh-
man and Sophomore years of college work. It is not intended to
interfere in any way with the excellent College Preparatory De-
partment which the school has maintained from the beginning. The
junior college work is organized on a separate basis. The college
students room in separate dormitories and meet in separate classes;
the faculty meets all of the standard requirements for college
teachers, and the work is in all ways of a collegiate grade.
The following considerations were taken into account in adding
junior college work:
In recent years the enrollment in institutions of higher learn-
ing in Pennsylvania has increased rapidly, far above the average
for the United States and without a proportionate increase in col-
lege facilities. While a great many new high schools have been
built and most communities have increased their high school facili-
ties, few colleges have been established in the last fifty years. The
lack in expansion and building equipment has resulted in over-
crowding and limiting enrollment.
Students are graduating from high schools at an early age.
Crowding into the larger universities while so immature results in
a large freshman mortality which every one, particularly the par-
ents and young people themselves, would like to avoid. Attending
a preparatory school after graduating from high school has its ad-
vantages, but the scholastic work in that case is largely review while
those who attend a Junior College get all the advantages of a
boarding school and their scholastic work is of a collegiate grade.
The Junior College offers many special advantages. Smaller
classes, more frequent contacts with the professors, and larger op-
14
portunity for self-expression are some of the most obvious advan-
tages. Probably its chief justification is in helping every student
to find himself before he enters into the larger life and freedom
of the university.
The Junior College was opened September, 1929, with an en-
rollment of fifty students and with courses in Liberal Arts, Busi-
ness Administration, and Secretarial Science. The standards for
Junior Colleges set up by the Association of Colleges and Prepara-
tory Schools of the Middle States were met from the beginning.
Additions were made to the faculty, a full time Librarian was added,
the Library and Laboratories were enlarged, new furniture and
equipment were added. Thus the conditions necessary to do sat-
isfactory college work were secured from the outset. New courses
will be added and additional members of the faculty will be secured
as the enrollment and demand justify.
The Seminary's enviable record made through eighty years of
educational effort in which the highest standards of scholarship and
character have been maintained is the best guarantee that this new
department will be maintained on the same high level, embodying
the best of the old and the new in educational theory and practice.
The Junior College graduated its first class June, 1931. All of
these who made application were admitted to other institutions with
advanced standing. Reports from these institutions at the end of the
first semester indicate that all of these students were doing satisfac-
tory work, making practically the same grades in the higher institu-
tions which they maintained while students at Dickinson Junior
College. This would seem to indicate that our graduates may be
reasonably certain that they will be able to do successful work in any
institution to which they may be admitted later.
Junior College Curricula
The Junior College offers the following courses leading to a
diploma or a certificate:
I. Arts and Science.
This course comprises the first two years of a standard four-year
course in a senior college leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
Science degree.
15
II. General Course.
This course is intended for students who do not look forward to a
four-year college course or to advanced study. It aims to provide the
essential intellectual background of an educated person, and to lay the
foundations upon which may be built a solid structure of broad knowl-
edge and good citizenship.
III. Secretarial Science and Commerce and Finance.
These courses are intended to furnish a fundamental business edu-
cation in preparation for positions as secretaries and minor business
executives. The Commerce and Finance Course also oflFers the studies
in the first two years of a four-year college course in Commerce and
Finance, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
IV. Christian Workers' Course.
The Christian Workers Course is intended primarily to fit yoimg
women for positions as pastors' assistants.
A yoimg woman, trained in secretarial duties, with courses in Bible
and Religious Education and with training in Public Speaking, Dramat-
ics and Pageantry will be able to give the pastor and church invaluable
help.
A yoimg woman with "gifts and graces" and with the training afford-
ed by the above course will be a most valuable assistant to the overbur-
dened pastor. She will find congenial employment and an opportimity
for unselfish service.
V. Art.*
These courses are intended for (1) those who desire to major in
art in the Fine Arts College of a university; (2) those who desire to
pursue advanced study in an Art School; (3) those who do not intend
to pursue a professional art career, but who desire training in general
art for its cultural and practical value.
VI. Music.
The Junior College offers a two-year course in music paralleling
the first two years of courses in a conservatory.
For detailed statement of art courses see pages 54 and 55.
16

Music
The highest standard of musical excellence and artistic worth
is maintained in every branch of the musical work at Dickinson.
Special attention is called to the advantages attendant upon pur-
suing a course of study in a regular and fully equipped school of
music. Private and public recitals are frequently held, in which
the students take part. Instrumental and vocal ensemble work
also has a definite place in the curriculum.
Full and complete courses are offered in Piano, Voice, Violin, Ear
Training, Harmony, History and Appreciation of Music, Elemen-
tary Theory, and Ensemble. All certificate and diploma students
are required to do a certain amount of public recital work, and all
other students are required to appear in private or public recitals at
the discretion of the Director. The length of time necessary to com-
plete any one course depends altogether on the ability and applica-
tion of the student. All students in the Preparatory Music Course
must give a group of at least three compositions in public in their
senior year, and all students in the College Music Course must give
a graduating recital in their final year of work.
Two distinct courses are offered in music: (1) the Preparatory
Music Course, which is a four-year course, designed to be conveniently
taken along with the College Preparatory Course, or the General
Academic Course, or the History and Literature Course (see page
57) ; (2) the College Music Course, which combines in an excellent
manner a detailed music course and a considerable amount of work
in the Junior College.
The College Music Course is a two-year course, and is open only
to those students who present the same entrance qualifications as
88
those who enter the regular Junior College work, namely, a high
school diploma. In addition, it is understood that the student shall
present musical qualifications equivalent to the Preparatory Music
Course as outlined in this catalogue (page 57) with the exception
of the theoretical work. A diploma in College Music is granted to
a student who successfully completes the required work in the Col-
lege Music Course as outlined in the catalogue below :
The Music Department maintains a Choral Club, an Orchestra,
a Band, and a String Ensemble. All Seminary students are eligible
to these organizations.

Note: In the case of a student who possesses stifficient talent to pass
the requirements in practical music as outlined in the Preparatory Music
Course, but who has had no theoretical training, the student may take Har-
mony I and Ear Training I in the first year of the College Music Course,
and substitute Harmony II and Ear Training II for the Elective in the
second year, though this will be allowed only in the case of a talented
student, and depends entirely on the decision of the Director and the
Music Faculty.

College Preparatory
Department
Courses of Study
The Diploma of the Seminary will be awarded to the student
who completes any one of the following courses: College Prepara-
tory, General Academic, History and Literature, Regular Commer-
cial, Piano, Voice, Violin, Expression, and Art.
Students completing a course in one of the special departments
but without the necessary academic requirements will be awarded
a certificate instead of a diploma.
The College Preparatory course offered by the Seminary covers
the needs of those preparing for college and technical school.
The minimum requirement for graduation in the College Pre-
paratory course consists of fifteen and one-half units, three of which
must be in English, and two and one-half of which must be in
Mathematics. American History, one unit of Science, not less than
two units each of two Foreign Languages or four of one Foreign
Language and one-half unit in Bible must be included in the fifteen
units.
The General Academic course is not intended necessarily to pre-
pare for college. The minimum requirement for graduation in this
course consists of seventeen units, four of which must be in English,
two in Foreign Language, one in American History and Civics, one
in Science, one in Algebra, one in Geometry, and one-half unit in
Bible.
The minimum requirement for graduation in the History and
Literature course consists of twelve units. Only those students who
are graduating at the same time in Music, Art, or Expression are
eligible to graduate in this course.
A student in any course must have to his credit one semester of
Bible, five periods per week. He must also have one year of Physi-
cal Training for each year spent in Dickinson Seminary.
43
A unit represents one year of work, thirty-six weeks, five forty-
five-minute periods per week, except in the case of English and
First and Second-year Algebra, in which cases only three-fourths
of one unit is allowed for one year of work.
Wherever elective subjects are listed in any course, it is the
aim of the faculty to schedule a student in the way which will best
train him or her for the particular college course or vocation to be
pursued.

Emphasis will be laid upon thorougtiness of work. The faculty
reserves the right to limit the number of studies which any pupil
will be allowed to carry.
Students who do not intend to pursue one of the regular courses,
with the consent of their parents and the approval of the faculty,
may elect such studies as they desire.
At least two years of any language elected in any course will
be required for graduation.
For more detailed information, see Courses of Instruction.
Certificates, with recommendation for admission to college, will
be granted in any subject only to students who make a grade of
at least 80%.
Our certificates are accepted by all colleges accepting certifi-
cates. A number of colleges are now admitting by certificates only
those who rank in a certain section of their class, usually the first
half.
45
Courses of Instruction
Bible
The material of the Old and New Testaments is presented in
story form. The aim is to teach the content of the Bible rather
than to treat it critically. However, evidences of growth in re-
ligious thought will be pointed out. Memory passages, maps, and
reports on special topics are required. Required for graduation.
One semester. Five hours.
The course will be offered each semester.
Classical Languages
The practical value of a study of the classics has often been
questioned, but nothing has ever been found to take their place.
The classics are still retained in the best courses of the best schools,
and are pre-eminently adapted to bring the student to an acquain-
tance with the sources of inspiration of all the literature of suc-
ceeding periods.
Latin
First Year: Careful study of simple Latin forms and construc-
tions. Sight and prepared translation of connected Latin sentences.
Prose composition. Vocabulary building. Study of simple English
derivatives. Frequent reviews to fix the work.
Second Year: Thorough and systematic review of First Year
forms and constructions. Continued study of more difficult inflec-
tions and principles of syntax. The readings are confined to easy
stories, Roman history and biographies, the first semester, and to
selections from Caesar, the second semester. Study of English
derivatives continued. Prose composition.
Third Year: Review of grammar of the First and Second Years.
The readings are limited mainly to the select orations and letters of
Cicero. Attention is directed to the style, personality, and influence
of the author, and such phases of Roman life are studied as will
lead to a better understanding of the Latin read. Prose composition.
46
Fourth Year: Review of grammar of the previous years. The
readings are confined to selections from Ovid and Vergil's Aeneid.
Scansion is emphasized. Assigned readings in mythology. Con-
tinued study of such phases of Roman life as will help the student
better to understand the text read.
English
The purpose of the work in English is to develop, as far as pos-
sible, in every student, the ability to speak and write correctly.
Representative classics of England and America are studied, along
with the history of the literatures of the two countries. The sched-
ule of English classics for college entrance requirements is followed
throughout the four years. An attempt is constantly made to in-
still a "feeling for language," and to inculcate some conception of
style, and toward the end of the course interpretative criticism on
the part of the students themselves is striven for.
The four books of the "Literature and Life" series, by Green-
law and others, are used throughout the course — one each year. Be-
sides the classics from "Literature and Life" listed below for in-
tensive study during the four years, all the introductions to the
various chapters in the "Literature and Life" books, as well as
practically all of the stories, essays, poems, etc., therein, are care-
fully read. The chapter introductions to Books II and IV comprise
brief, but comprehensive, histories of American and English Litera-
tures respectively, and are stressed.
Two pieces of written work are required of each student each
week. Oral themes are required also from time to time. Each
student, in addition to his regular class work, must read, and report
on, four books each year. These books are selected with the ap-
proval, or on the recommendation, of the teacher.
First Year
The work of the first year includes a thorough study of the
functions of words, the sentence, and the paragraph. Attention is
also given to oral expression as a basis for composition writing.
For first practice frequent short themes are assigned.
Classics for Intensive Study: Coleridge, The Rime of the An-
cient Mariner; Homer, The Odyssey, Books VI-VIII, Bryant's
4.7
Translation; Lowell, The Vision of Sir Launfal; Scott, The Lady
of the Lake; Shakespeare, Julius Caesar; Stevenson, Treasure
Island.
Second Year
This course includes continued study and review of vocabulary,
punctuation, paragraph structure; an introduction to the forms of
discourse in themes ; forms for social and business letters ; practice
in oral expression. Special credit is given for extra reading.
Classics for intensive study: Scott, Quentin Durward or Ivan-
hoe; Eliot, Silas Marner; selected stories from the works of Poe,
Hawthorne, Hardy, Doyle, Kipling, and others; Stevenson, Travels
with a Donkey; Burns, Tam O'Shanter ; Keats, The Eve of St. Agnes ;
Byron, The Prisoner of ChUlon; Arnold, Sohrab and Rustum; Tenny-
son, Enoch Arden and selections from The Idylls of the King;
Shakespeare, As You Like It ; Goldsmith, She Stoops to Conquer.
Third Year
This course includes a continued review of the elementary work
of the first two years, mentioned above, with increased emphasis
upon the rhetorical principles of unity, coherence, and emphasis in
the paragraph and the longer theme. The student makes practical
application of the principles in themes, which receive detailed
criticism from the instructor. Special credit is given for extra
reading.
An intensive study is made of Shakespeare's Tempest, Franklin's
Autobiography, Melville's Typee, and selections from the following
authors: Bryant, Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Longfellow,
Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Lanier, Whitman, Bret Harte, Mark
Twain, Hamlin Garland, O. Henry, Morley, Frost.
Fourth Year
A special effort is made in the fourth year to prepare the student
adequately for Freshman English in college. The course includes
a thorough review of the principles of grammar, composition, and
rhetoric. Verse is studied intensively, and other types are given
adequate attention. English literature, with an excursion into Amer-
ican literature to study Emerson, is studied chronologically. Supple-
mentary readings and reports are required.
48
Classics for intensive study: Chaucer, The Prologue to the Can-
terbury Tales; Everyman; Shakespeare, Macbeth; Bacon, Essays Of
Studies, Of Truth, Of Wisdom for a Man's Self; Milton, Lycidas:
Papers from the Spectator; Gray, Elegy Written in a Country
Churchyard; Goldsmith, The Deserted Village; Macaulay, The
Life of Samuel Johnson; Arnold, Wordsworth; Emerson, Manners,
Self Reliance; Rosetti, The Blessed Damozel; Tennyson, A Dream
of Fair Women.
History
Students are required to fill in outline maps, to take notes of
class work and to prepare reports on subjects assigned for indi-
vidual investigation. Collateral reading of not less than five hun-
dred pages is required. Current topics are emphasized in connec-
tion with the history courses.
I. Ancient History begins with a brief introduction of the
Eastern nations, which is followed by a thorough study of Greece
and Rome, to about 800 A. D., with special reference to their insti-
tutions and permanent contributions to the modern world.
II. Mediaeval and Modern History includes a review of the
later Roman Empire, the rise of the Christian Church, the later
mediaeval institutions, the beginnings of the modern age, as well as
giving suitable attention to the rise of the modern states, European
expansion, the development of free institutions, economic progress
and social change.
III. American History and Civil Government. One semester
is given to each of these subjects. Texts used: An American His-
tory, Muzzey; American Government, Magruder.
Mathematics
Arithmetic. Arithmetic is completed in the Academic and Com-
mercial courses. Standard Arithmetic, Milne.
Algebra I. The four fundamental operations are thoroughly
mastered, with special emphasis on inspection methods. The sub-
ject is pursued through factoring, fractions, and simultaneous equa-
tions. The large number of carefully graded written problems show
both the value and interest of algebraic processes and develop the
student's powers of applying principles to practical problems.
49
Algebra II. A month is devoted to a thorough review of first
year vpork. Intermediate work is completed through quadratics, the
progressions, and the binominal theorem and logarithms, fully pre-
paring the student for advanced work.
Plane Geometry. A complete working knowledge of the prin-
ciples and methods of the subject is aimed at, together with a de-
velopment of the ability to give clear and accurate expression to
statements and reasons in demonstration. A large amount of inde-
pendent exercise of the reasoning powers is required.
Solid Geometry. By emphasis on the effects of perspective,
and by the use of models, the student is helped to a comprehension
of figures and relations in three dimensions. The practical appli-
cation to mensuration problems are a feature of the course.
Plane Trigonometry. This course involves the solution of plane
triangles by means of logarithms and the functions of the angles.
Identities, equations, circular measure, derivation of laws and
formulae are among the topics discussed.
Romance Languages — French
Courses are offered in French which fully prepare for college
entrance. The aim is to give at least the beginnings of a real in-
sight into the language and literature. As far as possible the lan-
guage studied is made the language of the class room. Daily exer-
cises in grammar, translation and composition are supplemented by
frequent conversational exercises, the memorizing of standard
poems, and class singing. French table.

Spanish
The growing commercial relations between the United States
and South America and the valuable literature and history found in
the Spanish language, make the study of that language more and
more desirable if not a necessity. We are, therefore, offering a
two years' course in this subject. The aim will be to acquire as
early as possible a ready use of the spoken language, and to meet
the requirements for admission to the colleges, all of which now
allow credit in Spanish for entrance. Spanish table.

Sciences
Biology. This one-year course aims to give the proper perspec-
tive to the student beginning the study of science. It seeks to ap-
proach the study of life, especially in its simpler forms, with the
idea of opening before the student the door to a true realization of
the meaning of physical life and to an appreciation of its problems.
51
Physics. One year is devoted to the study of Physics. The
course includes four recitations and two hours of laboratory work
per week. Forty experiments are performed, data recorded, and
notes written up in the laboratory. Practical Physics, Carhart and
Chute.

year, the course consisting of four recitations and two hours of la-
boratory work each week. The course includes descriptive chemis-
try, and a thorough and systematic treatment of the science with
considerable emphasis put on the chemistry of modern life. Forty
experiments are completed and written up in the laboratory.
Commercial Courses
The business world offers attractive and varied opportunities for
those whose talents and inclinations fit them for its pursuits. It
affords the biggest field in which education can be put to practical
use, and it is the field which pays the highest immediate returns to
those who possess initiative, ambition, and a careful business
training.
Regular Commercial Course
Diploma Course
This course is designed not only to prepare the student for im-
mediate employment, but also to give a broad education in the gen-
eral principles underlying all business. In addition, students re-

Self-Help
There are opportunities in the school for self-help for only a
very few girls. About forty boys are able to earn part of their
expenses in various ways in the school, and there are many oppor-
tunities for student work in the town.
Loans
A limited number of worthy students, members of the Method-
ist Episcopal Church, may secure loans from the Student Loan
Fund administered by the Board of Education of that Church.
Christian character, satisfactory scholarship, promise of usefulness,
financial responsibility, and the recommendation of the church to
which the applicant belongs are essential to a loan. Each borrower
must sign an interest-bearing promissory note.
There are also loan funds in the Philadelphia and the Central
Pennsylvania Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
students from these conferences on practically the same terms as
