David B Sykes Gate (1997)

The David B Sykes Gate at the entrance to Lycoming College at the corner of Little League Boulevard and Market Street. Mr. Sykes graduated from Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and Junior College in 1938, and continued his education at Pennsylvania State University. He earned a bachelor's degree and became a Certified Public Accountant. After serving in World War II, he became an accountant, and later became controller of Giant Food, Inc. He retired in 1996 as director, senior vice president of finance, corporate secretary, treasurer, and the chief financial officer of Giant. He has made generous contributions to Lycoming College. Each class officially enters Lycoming College by walking as a group with their class banner through the Sykes Gate, and pass out through the Metzler Memorial Gate at graduation.
