About This Collection

The Lycoming College Collection begins after the accreditation of the Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and Junior College as a four year college. It is a growing collection that chronicles the evolution of this small liberal arts institution, and will include photographs, annuals, catalogs, event programs, alumni newsletters, and promotional material. Student life is represented in publication and information concerning organizations and activities. Continuing in the tradition of the forerunners of the college, a rich musical, theatrical, and artistic environment is documented. Athletics also figure prominently in this collection. An expanding collection of faculty and presidential papers have been contributed, along with records from the libraries, Archival items include assorted artifacts, numerous photographs, and a collection of scrapbooks spanning forty-five years.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is shown leaving Clarke Chapel, followed by Lycoming's president, Dr. D. Frederick Wertz and Philip C. Hammond, Director of Religious Activities. At the time, King was president of the Montgomery Improvement Assn., the organization that led the protest against segregated buses in Montgomery, AL. His topic was: 'Facing the Challenge of a New Age.' The Williamsport Sun-Gazette reported: 'Touching on colonialism and imperialism, Dr. King told his audience that the peoples of the world have gotten tired of being plunged into exploitation; of being dominated politically; of being segregated and humiliated. As a result, he pointed out, those people are breaking loose from colonialism; imperialism is passing away, and freedom and justice are coming into being. 'The present tensions, he stated, "are the usual things that accompany a new birth -- historically and biologically. There can be no birth without growing pains,' he added, referring to what he termed as the 'new age.'" He was entertained at a luncheon at The Lycoming before leaving Williamsport for Philadelphia on his way back to his home in Montgomery, AL.
