About This Collection

The Lycoming College Campus - Past and Present collection is an exhibit of photographs depicting the buildings and grounds of the campus from its earliest days as the Williamsport Academy to the present Lycoming College campus. An effort has been made to show the transformation of the campus through the years, respecting the legacies of the past and acknowledging the changes that the future requires. This collection also honors the individuals from whom several of the buildings were named, by displaying their photographs, if possible, and short summaries of their significance in the lives of their families, their communities, and the college.

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall
Doors and doorways, Hand railings, Stone walls, Windows, Memorial Hall (1947-1968)
View of Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. Memorial Hall was a war surplus building originally used by the government as an office building. The Junior College acquired the frame building from the Susquehanna Ordinance Depot. The 12,000 square foot floor space doubled the classroom space at Dickinson. The additional space was needed as the Junior College was changing to four-year institution, Lycoming College. Renovations were made, including bricking the exterior. The extra space was used for recitiation rooms and laboratories for the Physics and Biology departments, and offices for instructors. The building was dedicated to twenty-five war dead and more than four hundred World War II service men and women. The building was razed in 1968 due to its deteriorating condition.
