General Information
The School
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY offers col-
lege preparatory and junior college courses for young
men and women. It provides facilities for both day school
and boarding students offering two years of college and four years
of preparatory work, including 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 most healthful city in the
State of Pennsylvania, and it is reported to be the third most health-
ful city in the United States. Williamsport is famous for its pic-
turesque 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 patron-
age of the old Baltimore Conference. It was acquired in 1869 and
is still owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the Central Pennsyl-
vania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is regu-
larly 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 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 con-
tinue 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 out-
lined 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 school 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 beautiful
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 admin-
istrative offices, dining room, chapel, school parlor, class rooms, and
dormitories. There are hardwood floors throughout.
11
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 modem
fireproof building. The basement and the first floor house the heat-
ing plant and the laundry. The second and third floors contain
dormitories and are used for the boys of the Junior College.
The Gymnasium
Williamsport Dickinson is fortunate in having a splendid new
Gymnasium, dedicated November 8, 1924, which is a popular center
of physical, social, and cviltural activities. The building is 110 ft.
by 88 ft. 6 in., beautifully designed and of semi-fireproof construction.
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 and 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 90x66 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 pretentious
productions. In every way the building is a center of athletic, social,
and cultural activities.
Aim
The purpose of Williamsport Dickinson 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
12

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 under conditions afford-
ing 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
Williamsport Dickinson 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 homelike
as possible. Here lasting friendships are formed, and memories are
stored up to which they may, in future years, look back with affection
and pride.
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 func-
tions. These contacts together with frequent talks by instructors do
much to develop poise and social ease. Persons of prominence are
brought to the school for talks and lectures, and excellent talent pro-
vides for recreation and entertainment. Courses of entertainment
are 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.
Religious Influences
Williamsport Dickinson 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 students. Reg-
ular attendance is required at the daily chapel service. Students
18
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 Associations
that do active work in promoting the religious life of the school.
The John Wesley Club is composed of students preparing for the
ministry or other forms of religious work. Through regular meet-
ings and deputation teams they gain valuable training and experience
in religious work.
Through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for
eighteen years President of the Board of Directors, a Department of
Religion has been established in the school, and the professor in
charge of this department is also COLLEGE PASTOR 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
School 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.
It is understood that students entering Williamsport Dickinson
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 influences are
14
mutually helpful. Boys become more refined and careful of their
appearance and conduct. Girls learn to appreciate the sterling
qualities of purposeful boys 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 selected
Christian men and women. The two ideals they hold before them-
selves are scholarship and character. They live with the students,
room on the same halls, eat at the same tables, and strive in every way
to win their confidence and friendship. Williamsport Dickinson
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 eflSciency of the students. Per-
sistent effort is made to interest everybody in some form of indoor
and outdoor sports. Intramural athletic games between groups of
students not members of varsity teams encourage athletic activities
on the part of all students. 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 winning. Williamsport Dickinson is represented
each year in inter-scholastic contests by football, basketball, base-
ball, track, and tennis teams. An excellent athletic field offers every
facility for football, baseball, tennis, and other outdoor sports. Dur-
ing the winter months the tennis courts on the campus are flooded
providing an opportunity for skating.
16
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 be-
come free and more graceful. Gymnasium work largely takes the
form of games in swimming, bowling, basketball, and other floor
work, with attention to those needing special corrective exercises.
Teams in basketball and swimming represent the school in outside
competition. Outdoor activities include archery, hockey, tennis,
skating, hiking, and horseback riding.
The Dr. E. J. Gray Memorial Library
The library is playing an increasingly important part in any
educational program today. Recognizing this, Williamsport Dick-
inson completely reorganized its library with the beginning of its
Junior College program. Commodious, well lighted, and attractive
quarters conveniently located in Bradley Hall were provided. The
equipment is entirely new, including steel shelving, quartered oak
tables and chairs, desk, filing cabinets, etc. The more than six
thousand volumes in the old library were carefully assorted, retain-
ing four thousand volumes, to which new volumes have been added
bringing the total to eight thousand. The majority of the new
volumes are directly related to the various departments of the
Junior College. A very excellent list of reference works has been
provided and an attractive group of books for general reading
has been added in order to stimulate the interest of the students in
books not directly related to their special interest.
The library is in charge of a full time professionally trained
librarian and a full time experienced assistant librarian, together
with student help as needed.
The James V. Brown Library is within two squares of the School.
Its large collection of books as well as its courses of lectures and
entertainments is freely open to all students of the college and the
preparatory department.

The Junior College
The Junior College has become one of the most significant devel-
opments in the field of higher education. The high school graduate
usually needs to make new social contacts, to learn to accept respon-
sibility, and to form systematic habits of study and living. The
Junior College offers these advantages in connection with college
studies so that the student's educational progress is not retarded while
these important habits are being established.
The Junior College offers two types of courses: (1) those
which are called terminal, that is, complete educational units in
particular fields; and (2) those which cover the first two years of a
four-year college for those who desire to complete their degree re-
quirements later. Both types of courses meet the highest college
standards and afford both pleasant and desirable college experience.
The development of the junior college is the result of an increas-
ing demand for an individualized program in higher education, a
program in which emphasis is placed on meeting the cultural and
practical needs of the individual student. Instruction in small
groups is offered in the place of mass education. At Williamsport
Dickinson the student bridges the gap between high school and col-
lege by easy, natural stages, each young man and woman being given
a chance for self examination and experiment before definitely decid-
ing upon the courses which will lead to his or her chosen profession
or vocation. As the enrollment is purposely kept at relatively low
figures, the faculty is able to become personally acquainted with each
individual. Class groups are therefore small and permit of constant
discussion and participation by each student in class problems.
Experience has shown that many high school graduates are im-
mature when they enter college, and fail to succeed because they are
not able to cope with the freedom and responsibilities suddenly thrust
upon them. The individualized program in practice at Williamsport
Dickinson seeks to remedy this condition by personalized instruction
17
and intimate social contacts. The problems of the student become
the very real problems of the instructor who with his personal ac-
quaintance with the pupil can guide his energies in the direction best
fitted to his aptitudes and talents. Many noteworthy successes result
from what otherwise would be failure. Too large a percentage of
students who enroll in a four-year college, do not, for various reasons,
remain in college until graduation. It is better for these students to
enter a Junior College and complete the course, receiving a diploma,
than to have the feeling of having dropped from college at a time
when the work was only partially completed. The small size of the
student group is a spur to greater participation in both scholastic
and extracurricular activities developing thereby the qualities of
both character and leadership. Thus the Williamsport Dickinson
Junior College offers a well rounded and comprehensive program
that not only prepares the student for his profession or vocation but
for life as well.
Recognition and Transfer Privileges
Williamsport Dickinson Junior College is a member of the Amer-
ican Association of Junior Colleges, is approved by the University
Senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Pennsylvania
State Council of Education, and accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Graduates from
the Junior College have been accepted with advanced standing by
the leading colleges and universities to which they have applied for
admission and have made unusually high scholastic records.
Individual cases naturally depend on the student's preparation,
the calibre of his work and the course which he desires to pursue.
Upon registering at Williamsport Dickinson the student should fully
acquaint the President with his future plans so that credit require-
ments of the college to which he plans to go may be anticipated in
advance.
18
Junior College Curricula

other and of the organism to its environment, development, growth,
reproduction, and the mechanism and laws of heredity. The princi-
ples developed in the classroom are illustrated in the laboratory
through a study of different types of plants and animals. The view-
point of the adaptation of structure to function is stressed and com-

Art
A Junior College diploma will be awarded to students who satis-
factorily complete two years of art work plus English, Bible, and
Physical Education in the freshman year and an academic elective
and Physical Education in the sophomore year.
The aim of the art course is to give the student thorough training
in artistic creation; to guide in developing taste and power of dis-
crimination in general aesthetic appreciation; to give preparation
for entrance into various fields of professional art work; to give
practical training which may be put to immediate or future use in
the business world; and to create a desire for research in the great
art periods of the past. Care is taken not to interfere with indi^
viduality but to develop the student's own latent abilities.
A well-balanced and practical art course is provided by dividing
the time devoted to art subjects as follows: Sixty per cent to draw-
ing, twenty per cent to design, and twenty per cent to color. This
work is taught through different subjects, which naturally somewhat
overlap. Drawing is taught through anatomy, cast, costume life,
still life, perspective, and composition; design, through block print-
ing, costume design, plant analysis, pen and ink, textile design,
poster design, and interior decoration; color, through portrait,
posters, textiles, interiors, oils, water colors, pastels, and plant
analysis. If there is a demand, work will be offered in clay model-
ing and leather tooling.
The work of the year must be left for exhibition during com-
mencement.
While encouragement is given to the development of individual
aptitudes, the first year's art work for all students is practically the
same and is as follows:
First Year
Prerequisite Course
First year subjects required of all students working toward a
diploma:
Drawing from cast and costume life, painting in water colors
from still life and flowers, clay modeling, fundamental principles of
39
design as related to decorative and commercial art, free-hand per-
spective, theory and practice of color harmony and lettering. Stu-
dents with a taste for art not yet sufficiently defined to justify the
choice of a profession will find tliis a suitable foundation for later
specialization.
Second Year
In the second year, students will specialize in one of the follow-
ing fields: Illustration, Commercial Art, Costume Design, or In-
terior Decoration.
Illustration
Advanced painting in oils and water colors from landscape and
from life. Original illustrations from given subjects submitted
weekly. Art appreciation — illustrated lectures.
Commercial Art
Advanced drawing, color harmony, design involving original
studies in space and line arrangement, pencil, ink, and color render-
ings. Principles of advertising are studied, also cover and poster
designs, book plates, decorative page arrangements and study of
reproduction processes. Art Appreciation.
Costume Design
Advanced studies in color harmony, nature study and its adapta-
tion to design. History of costume — its value and adaptation,
designing of costumes and accessories, block printing, rendering of
costumed models in various mediums. Art Appreciation.

Note: Students expecting to study architecture will be given valuable
preparation by this course.
40
Music
The highest standard of musical excellence and artistic worth is
maintained in every branch of the musical work at Williamsport
Dickinson. Special attention is called to the advantages attendant
upon pursuing 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, Theory,
and Ensemble. All certificate and diploma students are required to
do a certain amoimt 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 complete any one
course depends altogether on the ability and application of the stu-
dent. 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, (see page 56) ; (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
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 56) 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 College
Music Course as outlined in the catalogue on subsequent pages.

College Preparatory
Department
Admission
Students may be enrolled in the Preparatory Department at any
time and will be placed in those classes to which their previous aca-
demic record justifies admission.
Courses of Study
The Diploma of the Seminary will be awarded to the student who
completes any one of the following courses: College Preparatory,
General Academic, Regular Commercial, Piano, Voice, Violin, Ex-
pression, or Art.
Students completing a course in one of the special departments
but without the necessary academic requirements wlU be awarded a
certificate instead of a diploma.
The CoUege 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 Prepara-
tory course consists of fifteen and one-half units, three of which must
be in English, and two and one-half of which must be iu Mathematics.
American History and Civics, one unit of Science, not less than two
units each of two Foreign Languages or four of one Foreign Lan-
guage and one-half unit in Bible must be included in the fifteen and
one-half 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 Regular Commercial Course is designed not only to prepare
the student for immediate employment, but also to give a broad edu-
46
cation in the general principles underlying all bus»f»css. In addition,
students receive a thorough training in related secondary school sub-
jects. 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.
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 Williamsport Dickinson.
A unit represents one year of work, thirty-six weeks, five fifty-
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 thoroughness 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 certificates.
A number of colleges are now admitting by certificates only those
who rank in a certain section of their class, usually the first half.

Courses of Instruction
COLLEGE PREPARATORY
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 religious
thought will be pointed out. Memory passages, maps, and reports
on special topics are required. One semester required for graduation.
Optional for non-Protestants.
Classical Languages
The practical value of a study of the classics has often been ques-
tioned, 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 adopted to bring the student to an acquaintance
with the sources of inspiration of all the literature of succeeding
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 de-
rivatives 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
49
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.
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. Rep-
resentative classics of England and America are studied, along with
the history of the literatures of the two countries. The schedule of
English classics for college entrance requirements is followed
throughout the four years. An attempt is constantly made to instill
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 Greenlaw
and others, are used throughout the course — one each year. Besides
the classics from "Literature and Life" listed below for intensive
study during the four years, all the introductions to the various chap-
ters in the "Literature and Life" books, as well as practically all of
the stories, essays, poems, etc., therein, are carefully read. The
chapter introductions to Books II and IV comprise brief, but com-
prehensive, histories of American and English Literatures respec-
tively, 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. Atten-
50
tion 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
Translation ; Lowell, The Vision of Sir Launf al ; 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 and introduction to
the forms of discourse in themes ; forms for social and business let-
ters; practice in oral expression. Special credit is given for extra
reading.
Classics for intensive study: Scott, Quentin Durward or Ivan-
hoe; Eliott, Silas Marner; selected stories from the works of Poe,
Hawthorne, Hardy, Doyle, Kipling, and others ; Stevenson, Travels
with a Donkey; Burns, Tarn O'Shanter; Keats, The Eve of St. Agnes ;
Byron, The Prisoner of Chillon; 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 ele-
mentary 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 de-
tailed 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 pre-
pare the student adequately for Freshman English in college. The
course includes a thorough review of the principles of grammar, com-
position, and rhetoric. Verse is studied intensively, and other types
are given adequate attention. English literature, with an excursion
51
into American literature to study Emerson, is studied chronologically.
Supplementary readings and reports are required.
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.
Fifth Year: This special course in English is designed primarily
for high school graduates who desire a general review of the princi-
ples of grammar, composition, and rhetoric before beginning the study
of English in college. Thorough drill is given, with special attention
to the needs of the particular group.
History
Students are required to fill in outline maps, to take notes of
class work and to prepare reports on subjects assigned for individual
investigation. Collateral reading of not less than five hundred pages
is required. Current topics are emphasized in connection with the
history courses.
I. Ancient History begins with a brief introduction of the East-
ern nations, which is followed by a thorough study of Greece and
Rome, to about 800 A. D., with special reference to their institutions
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 modem age, as well as
giving suitable attention to the rise of the modem states, European
expansion, the development of free institutions, economic progress
and social change.
III. American History and Civil Government. In History a
topical treatment is followed, emphasizing the development of the
principal movements and forces leading up to contemporary prob-
lems. In Government both the present structure of government and
the problems of democracy are studied.
62
Mathematics
Algebra I. This course meets the requirements for elementary
algebra according to College Board requirements, through quadratic
equations solved by factoring.
Algebra II. A month is devoted to a thorough review of first
year work. 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 devel-
opment of the ability to give clear and accurate expression to state-
ments and reasons in demonstration. A large amount of independent
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 applica-
tion to mensuration problems is 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 for-
mulae are among the topics discussed.
Mathematics Review. A course presenting a thorough review of
the first two years of algebra together with plane geometry. It is
intended for those students having credit in these subjects but who
desire additional preparation for college mathematics.
French
Courses are offered in French which fully prepare for college
entrance. The aim is to give at least the beginnings of a real insight
into the language and literature. As far as possible the language
studied is made the language of the class room. Daily exercises in
grammar, translation, and composition are supplemented by frequent
conversational exercises, the memorizing of standard poems, and
class singing. French table.

of College Preparatory,
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.
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.

year, the course consisting of four recitations and two hours of lab-
oratory work each week. The course includes descriptive chemistry,
and a thorough and systematic treatment of the science with consid-
erable emphasis put on the chemistry of modern life. Forty experi-
ments are completed and written up in the laboratory.
64
Spanish
The class meets ten times each week thus affording students the
opportunity of obtaining two years' credit in the language during the
one school year. The course includes a complete study of one Span-
ish Grammar and two Readers, vocabulary drills, exercises on pro-
nunciation, and finally, emphasis on reading ability.
Art
A diploma in preparatory art will be awarded to students who
satisfactorily complete two years of art work. Thirty class periods
a week for two years are required to obtain a diploma. The sub-
jects taught are the same as those given in the Junior College Art
department (see pages 39-40), except that no work in the academic
departments of the school is required.
The introductory work during the first year is practically the
same for all students, although individual abilities and aptitudes are
encouraged. (The prerequisite course is not required of those who
wish special work not leading to a diploma). In the second year,
the student may choose his own field of specialization from the
following courses: Illustration, Commercial Art, Costume Design,
Interior Decoration. For a description of the prerequisite and
elective courses (see pages 39-40).

Special Information
Any young person of good moral character may enter Williams-
port Dickinson at any time of year for a single semester or longer.
Applicants must bring a certificate of work done and recommen-
dations from the schools previously attended, or from former instruc-
tors, or other responsible persons.
Regulations
It is the endeavor of Williamsport Dickinson to create a homelike
atmosphere of good fellowship in which study and recreation are
pleasantly blended to achieve a maximum amount of progress without
an excess of restrictive disciplinary measures. However, a certain
number of regulations are naturally essential to the smooth running
of an organization the size of Williamsport Dickinson. The school
regulations, in addition to those which are given here, are published
in the form of a hand book, which wUl be furnished to each student
upon matriculation. These regulations have evolved from the exper-
iences of many years which have shown that Williamsport Dickinson
has a group of students of unusually high calibre, the majority of
whom have a definite goal in life. Student government and self dis-
cipline are encouraged by the school authorities as exerting a definite
influence upon the building of good character and good citizenship.
Students from a distance are required to live in the building, but
those having near relatives residing in Williamsport are sometimes
granted permission to make their homes with them.
Students will find it much easier to grasp the work and get a good
start for the school year if they plan to arrive on the first day of the
semester and remain untU the last day.
Absences from classes at the beginning or end of holiday recesses
count double and will only be excused for very special reasons.
It is suggested to parents that they should not call their children
home during the semester as any absence interferes with good work.
70
As students are responsible to Williamsport Dickinson en route to
and from school, they are expected to report at the Seminary imme-
diately upon arriving in Williamsport. Williamsport Dickinson ex-
pects each student to maintain the honor of the school by such conduct
as becomes a lady or a gentleman.
Students should be sparingly supplied with spending money, inas-
much as the tuition and board take care of all ordinary expenses. If
it is so desired, a member of the faculty will act as patron, paying
weekly such allowances as may be designated and supervising all
expenditures.
No firearms of any kind are allowed in the buildings.
All students are expected to provide themselves with a hymnal for
use in the chapel service.
Students in residence at Williamsport Dickinson are not permit-
ted to maintain automobiles at the school or in the city, except for
special reasons, and on permission from the President, nor are they
permitted to hire or leave the city in automobiles without special per-
mission.
Rooms at Williamsport Dickinson are thoroughly furnished. A
comfortable bed, pillows, pillow slips, sheets, blankets, and counter-
panes are furnished. One 50 watt bvdb is supplied for each room.
For each additional light socket in the room the student will be
charged $2.50 each semester. The student should bring the follow-
ing: 4 table napkins, 2 laundry bags, 1 pair of slippers, shoe polish-
ing outfit, 1 clothes brush, 1 bath robe, 6 face towels, 4 bath towels.
The school supplies two double blankets. If students wish more
than this number they should bring them. Every article of clothing
that goes to the laundry should be plainly marked with the student's
full name with THE BEST INDELIBLE INK THAT CAN BE
PURCHASED or with name tapes.
Teachers and students remaining at Williamsport Dickinson dur-
ing the short vacations will be charged $1.50 for each day or part of a
day. Parents or guardians visiting pupils are the guests of the Semi-
nary for the first twenty-four hours. Other guests may be enter-
tained if permission is secured from the President. Their student
hosts are expected to pay the regular rates for their entertainment.

Expenses
Boarding Students Academic Year
Board and Tuition $600.00
This sum includes board, furnished room, laundry (twelve ordi-
nary pieces per week) and tuition in all regular courses, except
music, in the Junior College and Preparatory Department, and is
for two students rooming together. Students rooming alone must
pay, at the time the room is engaged, an extra charge of $16 per
semester.
This includes in the College five regular subjects in addition to
Orientation, required Bible Course, and Physical Education, for
which there is no charge, and four or five five-hour literary subjects
in the Preparatory Department. Any additional regular subject in
the College or Preparatory Department costs $20 per semester.
Activities fee $12.00
The activities fee, a charge made to all students, admits to all
entertainments, lectures, musicals, athletic games, et cetera, arranged
by Williamsport Dickinson, and also entitles them to library privi-
leges and to an annual subscription to the Dickinson Union, but it
does not cover class dues or other student organizations within the
school.
Books are extra and the cost depends upon the courses taken, but
books, laboratory fee, and activities fee together ought not to cost
more than $50 in addition to the $600 mentioned above.
Music, Art, and private lessons in Expression when taken in con-
nection with a regular course cost extra. See pages 73-74.
Students not in commercial courses using typewriters will be
charged $20 per semester for use of machine and instruction.
A damage fee deposit of $10 will be required of each boarding
student and a damage fee deposit of $5 from each day student at
time of admission. Any unused balance will be returned pro rata
at the end of the school year.
All applications for admission must be accompanied before regis-
tration is completed by a ten-dollar registration fee for boarding
72
students and a five-dollar registration fee for day students, which
fee is not returnable after registration is accepted. This fee is a
charge for services in connection with registering the student and
does not apply to the regular bill.
No payment or any part of the same will be refunded in the case
of a student who withdraws on account of homesickness or other un-
necessary cause since the school is unnecessarily inconvenienced and
disturbed by such withdrawal.
A deposit of fifty cents is required for each key.
For extra service, such as meals served in rooms, additional laun-
dry work, private instruction outside the class room, et cetera, an
extra charge will be made.
