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.

The Lycoming College Choir, standing on the concrete stairway in front of the columned entryway of the John W. Long Library, performs during the dedication ceremony. The library was dedicated Saturday, October 20, 1951. Parts of an article from the November, 1951 Lycoming Bulletin follow: 'Shortly before 11:00 o'clock the academic procession consisting of representatives of student and alumni associations, secondary schools, colleges and universities, educational and learned associations, trustees of the college, faculty, senior students, Bishop of the Methodist Church, the president of the college and speakers, marched from the gymnasium to the scene of the dedication in front of the new library while members of the a cappella choir moved from the interior of the library to form a colorful background of gold and blue at the top landing prior to opening the service by singing 'O Magnify the Lord With Me,' led by Mr. Walter G. McIver … Robert F. Rich, president of the Board of Directors, presided over the program and introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Fred G. Holloway, president of Drew University … [a sentence from Dr. Holloway's address]: 'The very fact that you are naming this library in honor of the president of this college, John W. Long, I should like to say that you are by that very fact also perpetuating a great personality who, in a sense, becomes enshrined in this building and his personality will be felt all through the years because of what he is and what he has been and this is a fitting tribute in recognition of that fact.'
