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.

Asbury Hall was named in honor of Bishop Francis Asbury, the father of The United Methodist Church in America. He was a bishop in the Susquehanna Valley in 1912, when the Williamsport Academy, the institution from which Lycoming College got its roots, was formed.
