I E WIBLE, STEAM PRINTER, CARLISLE 1888. Historical Xote. PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE, of Gettysburg, was chartered in 1832. It originated from a sense, in the Lutheran Church in this country, of the need of affording her young men facilities for higher Christian education. A start in this direction had been made in the Gettysburg Gymnasium, established in 1827, from which the College developed. The first Faculty was composed of S. S. Schmucker, D. D., LL. D., E. L. Hazelius, D. D., Rev. H. L. Baugher, Rev. M. Jacobs and Rev. J. H. Marsden. The first two were Professors in the Theological Seminary and retired from the college work on the election of C. P. Krauth, D. D., in 1834, as President of the College. Prof. H. L. Baugher, D. D., suc- ceeded to the Presidency in 1850, and was succeeded by M. Valentine. D. 1)., in 1868, who was followed, in 1884, by H. W. McKnight, U. D. The course of instruction has been modeled after the best systems, and the institution has maintained a high position, as doing thorough educa- tional work. The College began its work with no endowment, but by gradual growth the invested fund now amounts to 5123,000. The larger indi- vidual gifts—from Mr. J. E. Graeff, Philadelphia, $20,000, have been applied to the establishment of the Chair of English Language and Lit- in partial erature : from the Ockershausen Bros., of New York, $10,000 Pearson, support of the Professorship of Natural Sciences ; from Davis Esq., of Philadelphia, by legacy, $12,000, and from his widow, Mrs. Mary Pearson, s8,ooo, for the endowment of a Pearson Professorship; from Mr. C. A. Morris, of York, 525,000, applied under direction of the donor to building expenses, particularly in connection with the present Pa., Preparatory School building : from Mr. John Eyerman, of Easton, 53,000. The rest of the endowment has been derived from State appro- priations and from smaller individual gifts. The Board of Trustees has, in the management of the funds entrusted to them, exercised such care that no loss has ever occurred. The first class was graduated in 1834. The alumni now number 790 of whom 644 are yet living. Besides these about three thousand have attended the institution during one or more years. A very large pro- portion of those who have received their education here, now occupy PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE, I 887-88. 3 positions of honor and trust in Church, schools, the state and in busi- ness employments. The buildings of the College are surrounded by a large campus, with trees and lawn. The main building, 150 ft. long and four stories in height, was erected in 1836-8. It contains Chapel, Recitation and Li- brary Rooms, Halls of the Literary Societies and rooms for the accom- modation of about ninety students. Linnaean Hall was erected in 1846-7, principally through the energy of the students then in attendance, and contains the Chemical Laboratory and Lecture room and a large room for the display of the cabinets in the Natural Science department. The Preparatory School building, on Carlisle street, was erected in 1867-8, the McCreary Gymnasium building in 1872, and the Astronomical Ob- servatory in 1874. An additional large, new building is now in process of erection. Location. GETTYSBURG is situated in the healthful high ground east of the ^i foot hills of the South Mountains. The moral tone of the commu- nity is unusually good. There are fewer temptations than in most towns of its size and the direct influence on the young men is excellent. By frequent trains over the Baltimore & Harrisburg and the Gettysburg & Harrisburg Railroads and their connections, Gettysburg is very easily reached from all points. The great battle of the civil war, fought here July 1-3, 1863, has made Gettysburg historically famous. The preservation of the lines of battle, and the many commemorative monuments erected under the au- spices of the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, bring annu- ally thousands of visitors, and constantly instil lessons of patriotism. The location, therefore, has become National and has some advantages in this respect. The Theological Seminary of the General Synod of the Lutheran Church is also located at Gettysburg. The two institutions have sep- arate Boards of management, different Faculties, and each has its own endowment fund. Trustees. John E. Graeff, President, Philadelphia. Hon. John A.
