S The Tribune's Educational
f I Contest progresses, those who
"M are In the list of lenders arc
ml deciding; In their own minds
which of the many scholar
ships offered would be most desirable
for their needs. Most of the contestants
near the top of the list are working
for some definite scholarship, but If
they do not get this particular one there
are plenty of others for them to fall
back upon. Some ate all ready to step
Into one of the universities should they
be fortunate enough to secure one of
these as a reward, while others are not
sufficiently advunced In their studies to
enable them to enter one of these high
er institutions -of learning for several
years, and so It is quite possible that
the contestant who finishes at the very
top of the list will choose a scholarship
in one of the preparatory schools. In
fact, it is also possible that all of these
scholarships will go first, yet this is
hardly probable as It is known that
several of those who are now leading
contestants have set their hearts on a.
university scholaiship.
In order that the young people may
be aided in making a choice of the
scholarships offered. The Tribune will
endeavor to give from time to time de
tailed descriptions of the advantages of
each institution Its location, the
courses of study, requirements to enter,
and all other Information of Interest to
piesent contestants or those who may
be considering taking up the work. Ap
pended to each description is given in
detail just what The Tiibune's schol
aiship includes, so that there can be
no possible misunderstanding.
This morning we publish an interest
ing account of the founding and history
of Dickinson College, together with a
fund of other Information regarding its
location, etc. Contestants should bear
in mind, however, that it is not In the
idlese that The Tribune offers a schol
arship, but In the preparatory school,
which, while under the government of
the college, is still entirely separate.
There may be some contestants who
think that the contest is now so far
advanced that It would be useless to
enter. We wish to call attention to just
one fact last year the contestant who
finished at the top of the list did not
enter until the contest was within
twelve weeks of its end (the present
contest lias still nearly eighteen weeks
to run), and eight weeks from the close
had hut fifty points, while the young
man who then headed the list had 441.
This would indicate that there was still
a good opportunity to secure a valuable
scholarship, even for those who have
not scored a point, particularly when it
is considered that this year there are
thirty-three scholai ships offered when
last year there weio only ten.
DICKINSON COLLEGE.
Some Historical Data.
The frame of tlio government, grant
ed by William Bonn to the freemen of
his province, provided for public
schools, and Initiated In Pennsylvania
educational tendencies which early
manifested themselves In all American
colonial history. Dickinson College was
tlio direct fruition of this movement
which had already resulted In the es
tablishment of eleven Institutions of
higher learning In the colonics, one of
which had for u quarter of a century
existed In Philadelphia, The growth
of the commonwealth und tlio docl
opment of the country at the close of
the revolutionary war further crystal
lized public sentiment Into recognition
or the demand for better educational
facilities at somp moro westerly point,
Many of tlio lea'ding men of the com
ninnwealth contributed liberally to tlio
fund for tlio Initiation of this inipoit

GEORGE E. REED. LL. D.
President Dickinson Collesrc.
was granted by the general assembly,
providing for the location of a college
at Carlisle. Conspicuous among the
adherents of the plan were Benjamin
Rush, signer of the Declaration of In
dependence and surgeon-general of the
Revolutionary army, and John Dickin
son, a stutesman and general, one of
the authors of the Constitution of the
United States, and, at the lime of the
foundation of the college, the chief
magistrate of the state.
The active participation of so distin
guished a personage rendered It emi
nently suitable that the charter should
specify thut "In memory of the great
and Important services rendered to his
country by Ills Excellency, John Dick
inson, esq., piesident of the supremo
executive council, and In commemora
tion of his very liberal donation to the
institution, the said college shall be
forever after called and known by the
name of Dickinson College."
The Starting of the College.
On the l.'th of September, 178.1, with
in a week after the granting of the
charter, a meeting of the Incorporators
was held at the executive mansion, In
Philadelphia, and President Dickinson
was elected the first president of the
board of trustees, an office which he
retained thenceforward until his death
in 1808.- His gifts Inducted a plantation
of 200 acres In York, and another of 300
acres In Cumberland county, $300 In
cash and a valuable selection of books
from his library. The assured Incom"
of the young institution was only $C30
a year, which was, however, supple
mented bv donations from private
sources and by occasional apptopila
tlons of the legislature.
The college came Into active being o'i
the 6th of April, 1784, when the trustees
met at Carlisle and elected a faculty
of two members, Dr. Charles Xisbet, of
Scotland, principal, and flames ltifs,
professor of Greek and Latin. The
grammar school was at onceinuugu
lated under the direction of 1'iof. liop,
to whom was given an assistant In the
person of Robert Johnson. When Dr.
Nisbet arrived In July, 17S3, the faculty
was further increased by the appoint
ment of Rev. Robert Davidson, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Carlisle,
to the chair of history and belles let
tres, and the promotion of II r. John
son to the professorship of mathemat
ics, while a Mr. Jalt was elected to
"teach the students to lead and write
the English language with elegance
and pioprlety." Principal Xisbet taught
moral philosophy, logic, philosophy of
the mind and systematic theology.
More Early History.
During the earlier years of the liT-ti-tution,
instruction was given In a .small
two-story brick building near the coi
ner of Bedford street and Liberty ave
nue, in the southeastern pat t ot the
town. This site was never satisfactory,
and various pioject.s were proposed for
obtaining a better one, notable amo.ig
them being the scheme to purchase,
from the government the old Hessian
Barracks, occupied for many years as
a military post, and now forming the
Carlisle Indian school. In 1708 Hip
present fine site, comprising a full town
square, was purchased from the Penns
for a Iiuudicd and fifty dollars, and a
commodious and complete building
erected upon It, but before Its comple
tion It was desttoyed by fire. Sym
pathy with this misfortune was wide
spread and btibscilptlous for a new edi
fice came from all directions. Thomas
Jefferson gave a hundred dollars, and
Count do la Luzerne, the French min
ister, headed one subscription list, while
upon another appeared the names of
seventeen members of congress. Tlio
plans and specifications were prepared
by the United States government archi
tect, and the present superb example of
colonial architecture, known as West
College, was erected.
Great Progress Shown.
West College was the beginning of
the series of twelve line buildings In
which tlio Institution is now housed.
Tlio hi st to he provided was South Col
lege, for which additional ground was
purchased In is;;r. and a building elect
ed, to he utilized for public; worship
and for the purposes of the grammar
school, This structure was desttoyed
by 11 ro tlio following year, but was ut
onco leplaced by the present substan
tial Illicit edifice. Although for ninny
years diverted from the purposes for
which ll was originally designed, South
College Is noV again In service for
dormitory and recitation purposes, be
rntiso of the predion of n Itiindsomn
and wcll-cqulppcd building for the t're
piirnlory Srliool upon a stfperb site re
cently purchased. Hast College, bttllt
In 1836 from native llmottunr, Is it mas
sive structure, finely adapted for dor
mitory purposes, equipped with tile beat
modern conveniences and up-to-date lit
nil Its arrangements, tn 1S77 Emory
Chapel, originally erected as a Metho
dist Kplscopnl church, passed Into tlio
hands of the college and was used as a
preparatory school until the erection
of the Tome Sclentlllfi building, through
the generosity of the late Jacob Tome,
of Port Deposit, Mil., In 1884, permit
ted the removal of lite sclontlllo deport
ment from South College. It became
then, In 1890, the homo of the Law
School. In 1S84 a fine gymnasium was
presented anonymously, with nmple
facilities for the best type of physical
culture. In 1883 the James W. Rosier
Memorial Library hall was opcncd.wlth
accommodations for the college and so
ciety libraries and for the chapel ser
vices and public exercises of the In
stitution. In 1893 n handsome and com
modious residence wob provided as a
dormitory for the female students who
hod been admitted on an equality with
men since 1S8I. In 1896 Denny Memor
ial hall was built for the accommoda
tion of recitation rooms, college offices
and the halls of the literary societies.
This superb pile of brownstono and
Ellzabethlan architecture Is one of the
finest scholastic structures In the coun
try. Instruction Past and Present.
The Instruction given during the early
days of the Institution was mainly by
means of lectures, which, while It ob
viated the necessity for the purchase
of textbooks, then so expensive as to
moke a heavy draft upon the purses
of the students, nevertheless, by the
enormous bulk of the Instruction so
conveyed, made so material a strain
upon the young scholars as to elicit
many complaints from them. The
course of President Xisbet In system
atic theology was comprised In no less
than 418 lectures, lequlring two years
for their delivery. In the beginning no
classification of students was made, the
men being grouped according to their
knowledge of the subjects studied. Un
der this arrangement the firt gradu
ates passed out from the college in 1787
and in the succeeding years until 1796,
when a division of the students Into
three classes, fieshman, junior and
senior, was adopted, the college work
O
being nt the some time classified ac
cording to thec divisions. The sop'v
more' class and a four yeais' course did
not appear until twelve yoais 1'ilor,
in 1808.
With tlio development of the art of I
printing and the growth of native
sciiolaishlp, the lecture system came to
be progressively supplanted by the plnn
of recitation fiom textbooks, mary of
which were the product of Dickinson
scholarship. i
Work along the traditional classical
lines was thenceforward ofteted for hair
a century, during which the Inrtltutlnti
attained a high degree of reputation for
scholarship and progrosslvonos. In
1S63 there wore authorized, In Biblical
scienco and literature and In natural
science, eloctlves, which opened the
way to the present broad field of cholco
afforded to the student In all directions
of learning, In 1879 the Latin Scientific
course was introduced; from 1.'83 to
1900 a modern science course, now ills
continued, was offeredi and since 1898,
a Medical Preparatory coin so has been
In active operation,
A New Era.
In tlio spring of 1889 Dr. Cleorgu Ed
ward Reed, who had been elected presi
dent dm lug the preceding winter, tool;

In tho college life and activity. In tho
prime of his manhood, zealous, earnest,
hopeful and courageous, ho ontered
upon his duties w(th a determined pur
pose that Infused new life into the
Institution, Ho was born In 1816, grad

successful pastorates at Wllllmantlc,
Fall River, New Haven and Brooklyn:
his numerous published articles; his
success on the lecture platform, and his
many-sided but well-rounded character
as a man led tho board of trustees to
select him for this arduous and most
responsible position. His marked suc

COLLEGIATE FREPABATORY
SCHOOL.
Where The Tribune Has Arranged
for a Scholarship.
Attached to the main college is
the Dickson Collegiate Preparatory
School, tn which The Tribune of-
fcrs a scholarship to some- young
lady or young gentleman. The
history of the Dickinson Colleglate
l'reparatory School Is fo Interwoven
with that of the college that to write
ot one Is to give the narrative of the
other. The students In the preparatory
reboot enjoy many of the privileges
and benefits of the college. The presi
dent of the college Is the president of
the iaculty of the Preparatory School.
Preparatory School Building.
During the past year a handsome new
school building has bpen constructed
nt a total cost of about $60,000. The
lot upon which the building stands is
located but half a square from ttw col
lege campus, with a frontage on High
street of 1C0 feet and extending north
ward to Lollther, a distance of 50) feel.
The windows of the building, on all
sides, command most beautiful i?wsof

to students' rooms, contains the chapel,
which has a seating capacity for H00
persons. The third and fouith stories
of the building are used exclusively for
dormitory purposes.
The building is one of the most com

classes by certificates from other schools
they will be placed on trial in such
classes as their certificates may seem
to warrant. Definite gradation will
afterward be determined according to
their ability. Students nro received at
any time dming tho year, though en
trance at tho beginning of a term Is,
for many reasons, desirable. As tho

Courses of Study.
Tho special work of tho Dickinson
Collegiate Preparatory School Is to pre
pare young men and young women ior
college. Besides tho special work of
prepailng students for college a gen
eral academic education Is given to
those who cannot tako a regular course,
There avo three courses, arranged
with reference to fitting students for
college, as follows:
1, Classical Cpiii'Be.,
2. Latin-Scientific Course.
3, Scientific Course.
Each of these courses extends through
four years. Students who have cov
ered a port 'of any coutso before enter
ing will bo allowed to complete It as
speedily as possible.
Gymnasium and Athletic Field.
Students of schoojs of a similar
grade seldom have access vto so line a
gymnasium and to one so splendidly
equipped In every detail and few are
so fortunate as to receive the benefit
of the training of a physical Instructt.r
so careful and experienced. The (,'s'm
naslum furnishes umple accommoda
tion to meet all the modern demands
for physical training. The main hall,
7r feet In length by 40 In width, . Is
Hanked on the eastern and western ex
tremities by wings. The western wing,
In dimensions 84 feet by 20, contains
, ins rooms mm office.
Thp equipment proper embraces a
complete supply of the latest and most

School are regularly drilled twice a
week during the winter and have gen
eral practice In the gymnasium four
times a week. The physical instructor
is always present and Is careful to see
that nothing hazardous Is attempted.
Within three minuter.' walk of the
school is the athletic field, affording

Methods of Instruction.
English Pi of. Slgmund. Speclul at
tention Is given to tho study of Eng
lish. In tho freshman and sophomore
years a careful study of grammar Is
inade, together with composition writ
! , l i
Group of College Buildings. , ,-,
. I . .'i..lu
ing based on the easier English class
ics. In tho 'junior and tho senior years
Scott and Denney's textbooks on rhe
toric, both elementary and advanced,
arc studied.
Clreok I'rof. Craver. In the two
years devoted to the study of Greek,
the aim Is to ptepare the student to
translate rapidly and accurately the
ordinary Gieek of the Attic dialect.
That tho student may be thoroughly
grounded In this dialect, It has been
deemed wise to defer, until a later per
iod, the study of the Iliad.
History Prof. Presby. The course In
history embraces the study of the his
tories or the United States, of Greece
nnd of Rome. The advunced course In
United States history deals particularly
with tho constitutional and the politi
cal development of the country. It pic
sents a rapid synopsis of the processes
through which our national life has
acqulied Its present forms.
Latin Profs. Craver and Presby. As
a portion of the curriculum of the Col
legiate Preparatory School, the main
object of tho work In this department
Is a preparation In the Latin required
for examination Into our colleges and
universities. Two courses, one of four,
and another of throe years, are offered.
At the close of the first year's work
the student Is expected to be thorough
ly familiar with tho various inflectual
endings and prepared rapidly to utilize
his knowledge In the ordinary case,
tense and mood constructions.
Mathematics Profs. Downcs and
Kline. The essential correlation of the
different branches of mathematics is
recognized, and In teaching each branch
those subjects aro especially dwelt
upon which have Important bearing
upon future work. In tho study of
arithmetic some subjects are deferred
until taken up In the algebra, while
other subjects, ordinarily unessential,
such nr, average of payments, duties
and customs, and the like, are omitted
altogether. Tt Is aimed to give the
.student a rigid drill In those subjects
which are thp most practical and which
are os&entlnlly pertinent to college
work. In the algebra special stress Is
It! 1 upon the fundamental laws and
I rhic.'p!''-0, In order to make, the work
less mechanical tn the student. "Fac
toilng" and "Radicals" arc recognized
as cpednlly Important, The plan
adoptei In benim-lns the study of ge
omstry K to make hasto slowly. An
! entirp term Is taken In covering the
lllit two book, ft Is aimed from first
to Ian to train the student to think
Independently, and. tho. th all needed
..assistance K given him. thl'idea is con
stantly kept In mind.
I Modern Lnnugage? Prof. Hoover.
The Instruction in the modern lon
, cjirtes aims to meet the dsmand due
' to the raplcily Increasing Impoitance of
thcs brain hoi nf ntudy. One year's
'woik In either Fieneh or German Is
1 required of students in the Latin-Scl-j
eutifie I'ource, while a year of each is
'lequlred In the Scientific course. The
work in both languages Is similar In
! nature. Ths purpose of the department
It to acquaint the student with the ele
1 iP-its of grammar and the Idioms;. The
papll Ij thereby enabled to lead easy
t::ls and Is likewise pienared for the
s lontlllc and classical reading of his
r.ioie advanced work in college.
j TI13 Tribune's Offer.
1 Vie expenses of the young man or
.'oi nr woman, who selects this seholor
sli'p as a special reward for work done
01 behalf of The Tribune during this
Educational Contest, will be paid by
The Tilnuno for three years, at a total
1 ih aliie of ?2.VJ per year, or $730
