General Information

The College

Williamsport Dickinson Seminary offers college courses for
young men and women, and during 1947-1948 will provide limited
preparatory work for college admission.

Location

It is located at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, "The Queen City
of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River," on the famed Sus-
quehanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York, and Wash-
ington, D. C. Williamsport is famed for its picturesque scenery,
its beautiful homes, and the culture and kindness of its people. The
Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads, with their fast trains, and
the Lakes-to-Sea and the Greyhound Busses put it within two hours'
reach of Harrisburg, four and a half of Philadelphia, and six hours
of Pittsburgh and New York.

History

Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded in 1848 by a
group of men of Williamsport under the leadership of Rev. Ben-
jamin H. Crever, who, hearing that the old Williamsport Academy
was about to be discontinued, proposed to accept the school and
conduct it as a Methodist educational institution. Their offer was
accepted and, completely reorganized, with a new president and
faculty, it opened September, 1848, as Dickinson Seminary, under
the patronage of the old Baltimore Conference. It was acquired in
1869 and is still owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the Central
Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Church, and is regularly
chartered under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. It is not
a money-making institution. All of its earnings as well as the
generous gifts of its friends have been spent for maintenance and
improvements. During a large part of its history its curriculum
covered the work now included in a high school course and at the
same time included about two years of college work. By its charter
it is empowered to grant degrees, which authority was for a time
exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself to the college prepara-
tory field and continued in that field until 1929. From that date
until June 1947 it operated as a Junior College. The increased
college attendance following the war, and trends in higher educa-

10

tion in recent years clearly indicate need for more 4-year colleges.
After giving the matter careful consideration, the Board of Di-
rectors, at a special meeting January, 1947 authorized and set in
motion plans to adopt a four-year college program. This catalogue,
therefore, contains an announcement of subjects for the first three
years of college. The fourth year will begin September, 1948.
College preparatory work will not extend beyond the close of the
year 1947-1948.

The campus is located near the center of the city on a slight
eminence, which causes the school to be affectionately referred to
as "The School Upon the Hilltop." Stately elms, maples, and
trees of other varities add beauty and dignity to the campus and
form an attractive setting for the imposing buildings. To the
south and across the Susquehanna, within twenty minutes' walk is
the beautiful Bald Eagle Range of the Allegheny Mountains, af-
fording a view of perennial charm. To the north are the Grampian
Hills. In fact, Williamsport, "beautiful for location," is seldom
surpassed or equaled in its wealth of beautiful scenery.

Aim

It is the aim of Williamsport Dickinson to provide education
for properly qualified high school or preparatory school graduates
along the following lines :

1. Education of a general nature to provide a background for
intelligent understanding and appreciation of the economic,
political, historical, social, scientific, and religious aspects
of life.

2. Education preparatory to specialization in the professions
of law, medicine, dentistry, engineering, etc., and to grad-
uate work in some field of concentration.

3. Terminal education in secretarial courses for business and
medicine.

Cultural Influences

Williamsport Dickinson aims to develop in its students an easy
familiarity with the best social forms and customs. Young men
and women meet in the dining hall, at receptions, and other social
functions. These contacts together with frequent talks by in-
structors do much to develop poise and social ease. Persons of
prominence are brought to the school for talks and lectures, and
excellent talent is provided by community organizations which bring
the best artistic talent to the city. Students whose grades justify
it are permitted and urged to take advantage of these opportunities.

Admission and Registration

Complete application forms for admission to Williamsport-Dick-
inson may be secured from the President, Registrar, or from the
Administrative Offices.

Applicants who are accepted will receive a statement evaluating
their high school credits and granting freshman classification. Those
rejected will be notified.

A registration fee of $10.00 for boarding students and $5.00
for day students is required with the application. This fee is re-
funded in case the application is rejected. A request for room
reservations in the college dormitories for both new and returning
students may be made with a reservation payment of $25.00. This
fee is applied to the main bill and is not returnable after July 15,
except upon rejection of application.

Requirements for Admission

Applicants for admission must present:

1. Certificate of graduation from an approved high school
showing credit for the following:

a. English — i years

b. History — 1 year

c. Science — 1 year

d. Mathematics — 2 years (Elementary Algebra and Plane
Geometry)

e. Electives — 8 years

Total — 16 years

2. Scholastic standing in upper three-fifths of high school
class.

Applicants not meeting the above requirements may be ad-
mitted upon satisfactory performance in an aptitude test
for college work.

Requirements for Graduation

Williamsport Dickinson will award the Bachelor of Arts degree
only. This is in accord with the objective of providing a back-
ground of knowledge in the humanities, social studies, and sciences.
It is assumed that an intelligent understanding of the past enables
one better to appreciate the present and to plan more ably for the
future. Accordingly, certain required courses are listed for these

12

areas. In addition a student should have selected by the end of
his sophomore year some field of concentration in which he wishes
to specialize.

The liberal arts program is basic to the professions of Medi-
cine, Theology, Teaching, Law, Dentistry, and is desirable in En-
gineering Science, Pharmacy, Nursing and Veterinary. The re-
quirements for graduation at Williamsport Dickinson permit these
pre-requisite subjects.

Special Information

Discipline

The discipline of the college is firm, reasonable, and sympathe-
tic. All students are considered responsible citizens and members
of a Christian community. Any student who is antagonistic to the
spirit and general purpose, or who fails to abide by the regulations
set up by the college may be asked to withdraw from the college
at any time during the school year.

Regulations

The school regulations in addition to those published here are
furnished each student upon matriculation.

Students from a distance are required to reside in the dormi-
tories. Permission for any exception to this rule must be obtained
from the Administration.

Money and valuables should be placed in the school safe; the
college will not assume responsibility unless this is done.

No intoxicants or drinking of intoxicants is permitted.

Permission to maintain automobiles on the campus must be
obtained from the administration.

Dormitories

Rooms at Williamsport-Dickinson are furnished as follows:
Desk, bureau, chair, single bed, mattress, and pillow are provided.
Students must bring their bed linen, blankets, and study lamp with
them.

It has been the policy of the college to furnish bed linen and
blankets and to provide laundry service; but with the beginning
of the college year 1947-1948 both of these services will be dis-
continued; accordingly, a reduction of $25.00 is made in living
expenses. The students will therefore make arangements for their
own laundry service. We recommend six sheets (single bed), three
pillow cases, and two double-blankets.

Damage and breakage in the room will be the responsibility of
the students assigned there.

Teachers and students remaining at Williamsport-Dickinson
during the short vacations will be charged $2.00 for each day or
part of a day. Parents or guardians visiting pupils are the guests
of the college for meals for the first twenty-four hours. Other
guests may be entertained if permission is secured from the Presi-
dent. Their student hosts are expected to pay the regular rates
for their entertainment.

20

Student Insurance

By a special group plan our students are able to secure accident
insurance, covering medical and hospital expenses for injuries re-
ceived on the campus. The limit of coverage for women is $600.00
and for men $250.00. All students are advised to carry this pro-
tection.

General Expenses

Following are the rates covering tuition, board and special fees.
Board includes furnished room and board at the college dining hall.
Tuition includes the normal schedule of from 12 to 16 hours per
semester, including physical education, or for veterans excused
from physical education 12 to 15 semester hours. Additional credit
beyond the normal schedule is charged at the rate of ten dollars
for each semester hour credit. In line with the increase in salaries,
repair and up-keep of buildings, and other general expenses, an
increase of $50.00 per year is made in tuition. Fees are listed and
assessed as they apply.
