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.

View of Forrest Hall looking northwest. This photo was taken in the spring of 1998. The three-story residence hall was built to accommodate ninety-two women students. The rooms are arranged as suites, with an adjoining bathroom between two rooms. Groundbreaking for the building was in September 1968, and it was completed in 1969. It was designed and constructed by Unitec Corporation of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Forrest Hall is a memorial from James M. and Katherine Forrest Mathers to Mrs. Mathers' parents, Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher Bliss Forrest, and sister, Anna Forrest Burfeindt. Katherine Forrest Mathers graduated from Williamsport Dickinson Seminary in 1928. She earned an A.B. degree in 1932, and Master of Arts degree in 1933, both from Bucknell University. She continues to come back for Homecoming and other campus events.
