General  Information 


The  School 

WILLIAMSPORT  DICKINSON  SEMINARY  oflfers  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.  Williamsport  is  famed  for  its  picturesque  scenery,  its 
beautiful  homes,  and  the  culture  and  kindness  of  its  people.  The 
Pennsylvania  and  the  Reading  Railroads,  with  their  fast  trains,  and 
the  Lakes-to-Sea  and  the  Greyhound  Buses  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  Church,  and  is  regularly  char- 
tered 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 

9 


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  preparatory  field  and  contin- 
ued 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  pre- 
paratory 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  and  preparatory  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  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. 

Main 

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 oflSces,  class  rooms,  and  dormitories.  There  are  hardwood 
floors  throughout. 

10 


Bradley  Hall 

Bradley  Hall  was  erected  in  1895  of  red  brick  and  is  modern 
in  construction.  It  furnishes  dormitory  facilities  for  members  of 
the  faculty.    The  library  and  the  dramatic  studio  are  here. 


Eveland  Hall 

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  faculty  apartments. 


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  cultural  activities.  The  building  is  110  ft. 
by  88  ft.  6  in.,  beautifully  designed  and  of  semi-fireproof  construction. 

The  basement  includes  a  modern  swinuning  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  aU  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  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  pretentious 
productions. 

Athletic  Field 

BuUt  partially  on  the  site  of  the  old  athletic  field,  the  new  field 
runs  north  and  south  beginning  directly  behind  the  gymnasium  and 
dining  hall  and  extending  to  the  terrace  just  off  Washington  Boule- 

11 


vard  on  the  north.    Ample  room  is  provided  for  tennis  courts,  foot- 
ball field,  and  baseball  diamond. 

New  bleachers  have  been  erected  which  accommodate  1,000 
people.  They  are  of  steel  and  concrete  foundations  on  which  have 
been  placed  wooden  seats.  The  rear  wall  is  of  an  attractive  brick 
construction  surmounted  with  a  wrought  iron  fence.  The  entire 
athletic  field  is  surrounded  with  the  six-foot  steel  fence.  Each 
section  iron  is  topped  with  a  steel  acorn.  Evergreens,  rose  of  Sharon, 
and  spiraea  line  the  inside  of  the  fence. 

The  Clarke  Memorial 

This  new  chapel  and  dining  hall,  which  has  been  made  possible 
by  the  bequest  of  Miss  Martha  B.  Clarke  of  the  Class  of  1862  as 
a  memorial  to  her  brothers  and  herself,  is  designed  in  the  Colonial 
Style,  and  is  of  fireproof  construction.  With  proper  attention  hav- 
ing been  given  to  acoustics,  the  chapel  proper  provides  facilities 
for  devotional  services,  assemblies,  dramatics,  concerts,  and  lectures. 
It  is  planned,  with  the  balcony,  to  seat  six  hundred. 

The  dining  hall,  on  the  first  floor,  is  arranged  with  separate 
entrances  and  with  coat  rooms  and  wash  rooms  for  girls  and  boys. 
It  opens  on  a  terrace  overlooking  the  campus  and  athletic  field. 
Effort  has  been  made  to  produce  a  comfortable,  home-like  room. 
Either  table  service  or  cafeteria  service  is  available. 

Modem  methods  of  heating  and  air-conditioning  are  used,  and 
careful  attention  is  given  to  illumination  and  to  design  of  lighting 
fixtures. 

The  erection  of  this  building  fits  into  the  plan  of  an  attractive 
quadrangle,  and  other  improvements  extend  the  open  campus  to 
Washington  Boulevard. 

Fine  Arts 

The  buildings  on  the  extreme  northern  portion  of  the  campus  on 
Washington  Boulevard  facing  the  campus,  provide  a  modern  home 
for  the  President  and  a  well-equipped  Fine  Arts  Building,  for 
Music  and  Art.  The  new  Art  Studio  takes  the  full  northern  sweep 
on  the  second  floor  of  the  building.    Also  on  that  floor  are  a  number 

12 


Girls'  Dormitory 


of  private  practice  studios  and  conference  rooms  for  members  of 
the  faculty.  On  the  main  floor  of  the  building  there  are  three  large 
studios  and  several  smaller  rooms  for  practice  purposes.  The  in- 
terior walls  are  finished  in  light  buff  and  the  floors  in  oak.  There 
is  a  total  of  eighteen  rooms  in  the  new  building  which  is  devoted

The  purpose  of  WUliamsport-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 
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  school  as  homelike 
as  possible.  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 

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- 

13 


tions.  These  contacts  together  with  frequent  talks  by  instmctors  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  artis- 
tic 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. 

A  systematic  study  of  the  Bible  is  required  of  students.  (Op- 
tional with  non-Protestants).  Regular  attendance  is  required  at 
the  chapel  service  conducted  three  times  a  week.  Students  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  Christian  Associa- 
tion, a  member  of  the  faculty,  or  a  visiting  speaker.  There  are  chap- 
ters 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. 

It 


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. 

Certain  phases  of  the  discipline  in  the  dormitory  lives  of  the 
students  are  supervised  and  regvdated  by  two  student  government 
organizations,  one  chosen  by  the  boys  and  one  chosen  by  the  girls. 
The  officials  of  these  groups  are  elected  at  frequent  intervals.  Thus 
the  students  are  presented  the  opportunity  of  learning  how  to  be 
governed,  through  accepting  temporarily  the  responsibility  of  gov- 
erning others. 

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 
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, 

16 


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  tiie  physical  and  intellectual  efficiency  of  the  students.  Per- 
sistent eflFort  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  a  fair  game  than 
upon  winning.  Williamsport-Dickinson  is  represented  each  year 
in  interscholastic  contests  by  football,  basketball,  baseball,  and 
tennis  teams.  An  excellent  athletic  field  offers  every  facility  for 
football,  baseball,  tennis,  and  other  outdoor  sports.  During  the 
winter  months  the  tennis  courts  on  the  campus  are  flooded  provid- 
ing an  opportunity  for  skating. 


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. 
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,  desks,  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  eleven  thousand.  New  volumes  are  added 
each  year.  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  of  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 
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 

18 


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. 

Accelerated  Program 

The  time  allotted  for  completing  two  years  of  college  work  has 
normally  been  two  academic  years,  each  extending  from  September 
until  June.  Beginning  in  June,  1942,  Williamsport-Dickinson  will 
also  offer  many  of  its  curricula  in  an  accelerated  manner.  Among 
the  courses  so  offered  will  be  Arts  and  Science,  General,  Engineer- 
ing, Pre-Medical,  Pre-Dental,  Secretarial  Science,  and  Commerce 
and  Finance.  This  plan  is  in  accordance  with  the  expressed  desire 
of  the  Federal  Government  that,  during  the  present  emergency,  stu- 
dents may  be  fitted  for  useful  work  at  a  somewhat  earlier  age. 

A  student  desiring  to  take  advantage  of  this  accelerated  program 
will  be  able  to  start  the  freshman  year  in  June.  By  the  end  of  Au- 
gust of  the  following  year  the  student  will  be  able  to  complete  two  full 
years  of  college  work  and  receive  the  Junior  College  Diploma.  The 
student  would  then  be  eligible  for  admission  to  the  junior  class  of  a 
standard  four-year  course,  or  in  case  the  diploma  was  in  the  Secre- 
tarial Science  or  the  Commerce  and  Finance  Courses  be  qualified  to 
accept  a  business  position. 

For  those  who  do  not  desire  to  spend  their  summers  in  study, 
Williamsport-Dickinson  will  continue  to  offer  its  regular  program 
in  the  traditional  manner.  This  arrangement  permits  a  student  to 
complete  the  first  two  years  of  college  work  by  attending  school  from 
September  until  May  two  consecutive  years.

Science  degree. 

II.  General  Course. 

This  course  is  intended  for  students  who  do  not  look  forward  to  a

business  executive  positions.  These  who  plan  a  four-year  college  course 
in  Commerce  and  Finance  will  be  permitted  to  choose  as  their  Freshman  and 
Sophomore  studies  that  combination  of  Arts  and  Science  and  Commerce  and 
Finance  subjects  which  best  fits  their  particular  needs. 

IV.  Secretarial  Science  and  Stenographic. 

The  Secretarial  Science  Course  is  intended  to  furnish  a  fundamental

secretarial  science  diploma,  the  Stenographic  Course  is  offered.  This  gives 
an  intensive  year  of  training  primarily  upon  typewriting  and  shorthand. 
A  Certificate  of  Graduation  is  awarded  upon  the  successful  completion  of 
this  course. 

V.  Medical  Secretarial. 

The  purpose  of  the  Medical  Secretarial  Course  is  to  give,  both  from 
the  scientific  and  business  standpoint,  a  thorough  foundation  in  the  work 
needed  to  qualify  the  student  for  a  position  as  a  secretary  and  assistant 
in  a  physician's  oflSce. 

VI.  Home  Economics. 

The  Home  Economics  Course  is  designed  to  meet  the  needs  of  two 
groups  of  students.  First,  by  following  the  subjects  suggested  it  becomes 
a  Two- Year  Homemaking  Course  for  those  students  planning  only  two  years 
of  college  work.  However,  the  student  who  plans  to  transfer  later  to  a 
four-year  college  will  be  permitted  to  elect  that  combination  of  subjects 
from  the  Home  Economics  and  the  Arts  and  Science  Courses  which  will 
comprise  the  first  two  years  of  a  four-year  course  leading  to  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Home  Economics.

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. 

VIII.  Music. 

The  Junior  College  offers  a  two-year  course  in  music  paralleling  the 
first  two  years  of  courses  in  a  conservatory.

Spanish 

The  more  important  benefits  in  the  study  of  Spanish  are  these: 
direct  communication  with  Spanish-speaking  peoples,  pleasure  read- 
ing for  wholesome  leisure,  aid  in  commerce  and  business,  improve- 
ment of  mental  discipline  and  culture,  aid  in  research,  promotion  of 
peace  and  good-will,  better  understanding  of  English,  and  a  neces- 
sary preparation  for  radio  announcing. 

Dr.  L.  S.  Rowe,  Director  of  the  Pan-American  Union,  says  in 
part:  "In  reality  the  study  of  Spanish  is  essential  to  the  further 
development  of  true  Pan-Americanism.  Without  it,  we  cannot  hope 
to  proceed  very  far  in  the  path  of  mutual  understanding  between  the 
nations  of  America  which  is  so  essential  to  the  peace  and  prosperity 
of  this  continent." 

Two  years  of  Spanish  is  recommended  for  all  students  majoring

Art 

A  Junior  College  Diploma  will  be  awarded  to  students  who  sat- 
isfactorily complete  the  Two-Year  Course  in  Art  as  outlined  on  page 
26. 

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:  Fifty  per  cent  to  draw- 
ing, twenty-five  per  cent  to  design,  and  twenty-five  per  cent  to  color. 
This  work  is  taught  through  different  subjects,  which  naturally 
somewhat  overlap. 

The  work  of  the  year  must  be  left  for  exhibition  during  com- 
mencement. 

First  Year 
While  encouragement  is  given  to  the  development  of  individual 
aptitudes,  the  first  year's  art  work  for  all  students  is  practically 
the  same.     Through  the  application  of  the  work  in  Drawing,  Design, 

52 


and  Color,  the  student  is  enabled  to  build  a  foundation  suitable  for 
later  specialization. 

Second  Year 

The  individual  projects  in  Drawing,  Design,  and  Color  given  to 
the  students  will  be  modified  to  meet  the  particular  needs  of  each 
field  of  specialization  as  shown  below: 

Illustration.  Advanced  painting  in  oils  and  water  colors  from 
landscape  and  from  life.  Original  illustrations  from  given  subjects 
submitted  weekly. 

Commercial  Art.  Advanced  drawing,  color  harmony,  design  in- 
volving original  studies  in  space  and  line  arrangement,  pencil,  ink, 
and  color  renderings.  Principles  of  advertising  are  studied,  also 
cover  and  poster  designs,  book  plates,  decorative  page  arrangements 
and  study  of  reproduction  processes.

preparation  by  this  course). 

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. 

A  two-manual  electric  Everett  Orgatron  with  chimes  is  main- 
tained for  organ  lessons  and  practice.    The  arrangement  of  the  stop 

63 


tablets,  the  expression  pedal,  the  grand  crescendo  pedal,  the  con- 
cavity and  radius  of  the  standard  32-note  pedal  clavier,  the  angle 
of  the  keyboards,  the  overhang  of  the  keys  and  the  distance  between 
the  manuals  of  this  instrument  is  like  a  pipe  organ.  The  console  of 
the  Orgatron  is  designed  to  conform  to  the  specifications  set  up 
and  approved  by  the  American  Guild  of  Organists  and  the  Royal 
College  of  Organists  (Great  Britain). 

The  entire  Music  Department,  except  the  orgatron,  is  housed  in 
the  new  Fine  Arts  Building,  opened  in  1940. 

Full  and  complete  courses  are  offered  in  Organ,  Piano,  Voice,  Vio- 
lin, Ear  Training,  Harmony,  History  and  Appreciation  of  Music, 
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  Music  Faculty.  The  length  of  time  necessary  to 
complete  any  one  course  depends  altogether  on  the  ability  and  appli- 
cation of  the  student. 

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  65);  (2)  the  College  Music  Course, 
which  combines  in  an  excellent  manner  a  detailed  music  course  and  a 
considerable  amount  of  academic  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  65)  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  page  26. 

The  Music  Department  maintains  a  Choral  Club,  a  Double  Male 
Quartette,  a  Chapel  Choir,  an  Orchestra,  and  a  String  Ensemble.  All 
Williamsport-Dickinson  students  are  eligible  to  these  organizations.

Wherever  elective  subjects  are  listed  in  any  course,  it  is  the  aim 
of  the  faculty  to  schedule  a  student  in  the  way  which  wUl  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.

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  gradua- 
tion.    Optional  for  non-Protestants.

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.

English 

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- 
tion is  also  given  to  oral  expression  as  a  basis  for  composition  writing. 
For  first  practice  frequent  short  themes  are  assigned.

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

into  American  literature  to  study  Emerson,  is  studied  chronologically. 
Supplementary  readings  and  reports  are  required. 

Fifth  Year:  This  special  course  in  English  is  designed  pri- 
marily for  high  school  graduates  who  desire  a  general  review  of  the 
principles  of  grammar,  composition,  and  rhetoric  before  beginning 
the  study  of  English  in  college.  Thorough  drill  is  given,  with  spe- 
cial attention  to  the  needs  of  the  partictilar  group.

expansion,  the  development  of  free  institutions,  economic  progress 
and  social  change. 

III.  American  History  is  treated  in  a  topical  manner,  emphasiz- 
ing the  development  of  the  principal  movements  and  forces  leading 
to  contemporary  problems.  Historical  events  from  the  age  of  dis- 
covery to  the  present  are  analyzed  in  an  effort  to  gain  a  better  under- 
standing of  America  today. 

IV.  American  Government  is  offered  the  second  semester  only. 
In  this  course  both  the  present  structure  of  government  and  the 
problems  of  democracy  are  studied.  The  duties  and  responsibilities 
of  intelligent  citizenship  are  given  special  attention.

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

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  52-53),  except  that  no  work  in  the  academic 
departments  of  the  school  is  required.

A  Diploma  in  Preparatory  Music  is  granted  to  a  student  who 
completes  the  required  work  in  the  Preparatory  Music  Course  as 
described  below  in  the  catalogue.  The  candidate  must  have  com- 
pleted our  College  Preparatory  Course,  or  the  General  Academic 
Course,  or  its  equivalent.  Any  candidate  having  completed  the  work 
in  the  Preparatory  Music  Course,  but  who  does  not  have  the  equiva- 
lent of  a  high  school  diploma,  will  be  granted  a  Certificate  in  Pre- 
paratory Music.  All  students  in  the  Preparatory  Music  Course  must 
give  a  group  of  at  least  three  compositions  in  public  in  their

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  some  opportunities  for 
student  work  in  the  town. 


Loans 

A  limited  number  of  worthy  students,  members  of  the  Meth- 
odist Church,  may  secure  loans  from  the  Student  Loan  Fund 
administered  by  the  Board  of  Education  of  that  Church.  Christian 
character,  satisfactory  scholarship,  promise  of  useftdness,  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  Church  for  students 
from  these  conferences  on  practically  the  same  terms  as  above. 

Detailed  information  may  be  secured  from  the  President. 


Scholarships

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  will  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  buUding  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  until  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. 

78 


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  con- 
duct as  becomes  a  lady  or  a  gentleman. 

Students  should  be  sparingly  supplied  with  spending  money,  in- 
asmuch 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  supervis- 
ing all  expenditures. 

Students  should  place  money  and  valuables  in  the  school  safe. 
The  school  is  not  to  be  held  responsible  for  money  or  valuables  not 
placed  therein. 

No  firearms  of  any  kind  are  allowed  in  the  buildings. 

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  or  the 
Dean,  nor  are  they  permitted  to  hire  or  leave  the  city  in  automobiles 
without  special  permission. 

Rooms  at  Williamsport-Dickinson  are  thoroughly  furnished.  A 
comfortable  bed,  pillows,  pillow  slips,  sheets,  blankets,  and  counter- 
panes are  furnished.  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  meals  for  the  first  twenty-four  hours.  Other  guests  may  be 
entertained  if  permission  is  secured  from  the  President.  Their  stu- 
dent hosts  are  expected  to  pay  the  regular  rates  for  their  entertain- 
ment.

Students  are  subject  to  suspension  if  bills  are  not  paid  within 
ten  days  of  the  dates  mentioned  unless  ample  security  is  furnished. 

No  deduction  is  made  for  absence  except  in  prolonged  and 
serious  illness  or  other  unavoidable  providence,  when  the  price  of 
board  (not  tuition,  room,  etc.)  is  refunded.  No  deduction  is  made  for 
the  first  two  weeks  or  the  last  three  weeks  of  the  year  or  the  term. 

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  unnecessary  cause  since  the  school  is  unnecessarily  inconveni- 
enced and  disturbed  by  such  withdrawal. 

Music,  Art,  and  private  lessons  in  Expression  when  taken  in 
connection  with  a  regular  course  cost  extra. 

For  extra  service,  such  as  meals  served  in  rooms,  additional

extra  charge  is  made  to  both  students  and  faculty. 

In  order  to  graduate  and  to  receive  a  diploma  or  certificate  a 
student  must  have  spent  at  least  one  year  in  study  at  the  Seminary 
and  also  have  paid  all  his  bills,  in  cash  or  its  equivalent — not  in  notes. 

The  registration  fee  is  not  returnable  after  registration  is  ac- 
cepted. 

Discounts 

Special  discounts  are  allowed  on  the  regular  expenses  to  the 
following : 

( 1 )  Two  students  from  the  same  family  at  the  same  time. 

(2)  Children  of  ministers. 

(3)  Students  preparing  for  the  ministry  or  missionary  work. 

Not  more   than   one  discount  will  be  allowed  to  any  student. 

The  Seminary  reserves  the  right  to  withdraw  any  discount  from 
a  student  whose  Avork  or  behavior  is  unsatisfactory. 

No  discount  is  allowed  on  Music,  Art,  and  private  lessons  in 
Expression  whether  taken  as  extra  subjects  in  connection  with  a 
regular  course  or  whether  the  student  is  majoring  in  one  of  these 
subjects.

Persons  desiring  to  make  bequests  to  our  school  wUl

Dickinson  Seminary,  Williamsport,  Pa.  Each  state  has 
its  own  special  laws  relating  to  wills  which  should  be 
carefully  observed. 

Annuity  Bonds 

There  are  doubtless  persons  who  desire  to  give  the 
Seminary  certain  sums  of  money  but  need  the  income  on 
the  same  while  they  live.  To  all  such  we  gladly  state 
that  we  are  legally  authorized,  and  fully  prepared  to 
issue  Annuity  Bonds  on  which  we  pay  interest,  semi- 
annually, to  the  donors  as  long  as  they  live.  The  rate 
of  interest  varies  with  the  age  of  the  one  making  the 
donation.  Those  interested  will  please  correspond  with 
the  President  of  the  Seminary.
