Lycoming College - Williamsport Dickinson Seminary Junior College and College Preparatory School

About This Collection

This collection contains material originating from and telling about Williamsport Dickinson Seminary Junior College and Preparatory School. Although spanning almost two decades, from 1928 through 1947, the collection is modest in size. The publications, annuals, catalogs, alumni newsletters and promotional material, are well represented and provide a wealth of information about the school, the faculty and the students. Evident from the collection is a rich musical and social atmosphere. Athletics and official events are also well documented. Reflecting world history, two significant events in the life of the Junior College occur as a result of World War II. Almost one- third of the collection centers around the school's involvement with the war effort. The institution of two different military training programs are chronicled here. Records of accreditation from a junior college to a four year institute are included, which was also influenced by World War II and the resulting return of military personnel desiring to pursue opportunities for higher education. A small part of the collection consists of items not specifically produced by the college but most likely accumulated by staff or faculty, enhances the portrayal of the time period,

From article on back, 'Jean Flook is Named Dickinson May Queen': 'Selection of the queen and her court was made by members of the Women's Student Council of the junior college, shown in the accompanying picture. The girls are: First row, left to right: Sara Jane Person, Jeanne VanTilburg, Ruth Guest, Miss Leslie Minor, advisor. Second row: June Kaley, Emmy Lou Heyd, Doris Losch, Pauline Parker. Third row: Julia Minds, Betty Foresman, Jean Flook, the May Queen, and Sara Graham. May Day at the junior college is always a bright affair, with pageantry and regality taking place of the usual informal campus demeanor. The ceremonies usually are held on the north campus, except when the weather is inclement. In that case, the proceedings are carried on in the gymnasium. Guest day at the school has been set aside for prospective students to visit the institution as guests, together with their parents, so that they can get some idea of life and learning at the school.'
