�Wilk~es College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. From its
inception the college has been dedicated to twin goals-a sound
and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community.
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts
in the community. It was believed that these ends could be
served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control.
The original concept of community services has been
strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing
experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students,
the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative
effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on
trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in
cooperative action.
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied
their support during the past decades and the campus has
expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties
facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment
has kept pace with the expansion of the campus.
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the
Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late
Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the
wisdom of their decision. With ~esponsibility came ,a pressing
desire to strengthen the work of the Faculty, united in their
faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student
are vigorous where the creative mind is free.

�Admissions
True education demands a love of learning and a spirit of
sacrifice and service. Education is not a right or privilege but
an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by
the College and responsibilities shared with the student.
This concept has guided the faculty and trustees in developing the philosophy and procedures of the Admissions Committee,
making it possible for students of ability, determination, and
soundness of character to study at Wilkes.
Here the students will find an atmosphere of competitive
learning in the world of ideas. His desire to undertake study at
Wilkes places him among the ready men for whom education
is an experience in excellence. He will be charged with the
responsibility for fulfilling that trust.
The careful selection of able and committed students is
deemed essential to the attainment of high standards and warm
personal relationships between students and faculty.

interview with a candidate for admission. Students and their
families are cordially invited to visit the College at their convenience. It is advisable to write for an appointment so that the

The spirit of the College is the integrity of its
mission, the intellectual climate that enriches the
student as a person.
The spirit of the College derives from the ideals
of the Faculty and the quality of its instruction;
from its library, its laboratories and equipment.
The College believes that no attention can be
too great which intensifies a student's thinking or
deepens his interest or develops his techniques
and skills.
It believes that a good student commits himself
to the disciplines of his work. To learn, to master,
and to understand he must accept the responsibilities that he shares with others.

The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage
the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to
assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all
he must learn to assume responsibility for all he does.

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The transition from the directed work of the high school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the
term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their
academic program.
During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest,
foreign language, and English-placement tests. The week also
gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum,
and the student activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for
one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic,
and vocational objectives. Representatives of the Faculty discuss
with them:
I. Methods of intelligent self-directed study.

2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships
with others.

3. Values of the College extra-curricular program.
4. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy
of life.

By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and
conducting these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.

STUDENT ADVISEMENT
Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social,
and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental

�Page 28 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

health affect his studies and his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructors,
his faculty adviser, the Deans, or the Department Chairmen concerning his scholastic progress.
COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE
The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance
to students with difficulties of a personal or environmental
nature. Students may apply directly to the Consultation Service
for appointments or may arrange for consultation through the
Deans• Office. Interviews with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential basis.

Educational Resources
THE LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the gift of Allen P. Kirby, houses the College
library. Students and faculty use the resources of its periodical
and reference rooms and depend on the more than 50,000 volumes and some 400 current periodicals and journals for research
and reading assignments.
Shelved on open stacks, the books are easily accessible and may

RESEARCH

Research in the sciences has included such varied work as
allergy research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health,
Education and Welfare; immunochemical research sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Heart Association; basic research on plant
development sponsored by the National Science Foundation; and
basic research in protozoology sponsored by the National Science
Foundation.

Student Activities
The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The Faculty encourages a program
of extra-curricular activities that contribute to the educational
development of the student who chooses to participate.
Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of
tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College
community. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics,
the College Band; Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male
Chorus, Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers.
There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic, professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed
for students in cooperation with the Faculty. All women students
are members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own executive
committee, which plans and arranges social activities.
The Faculty discourages the formation of campus organizations that are not open to all students, and groups that are
exclusive do not exist. All student groups work in cooperation
with faculty advisers and the Deans.

STUDENT c;ovERNMENT

Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of
annually elected members representing the classes and other
student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency;
it appropriates funds from the Student Activities budget to all
student groups; it supervises the College social calendar; it
arranges the program for Homecoming; it establishes social regulations and conduct; and it serves in an advisory capacity to the
Director of Student Activities and the Administrative Council.

INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL

The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives from the men's and women's residence halls, plans and

�Page 32 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

coordinates dormitory social functions and develops and administers dormitory policy.
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE
Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given
during the academic year are planned and presented by students.
The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each
fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the
administration and student organizations in arranging these
programs and awards a trophy to the group that presents the best
program of the year.
Each student is required to attend assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following
number of cuts each year:
Freshman and sophomore year-four cu ts.
Junior year-eight cut&amp;.
Senior year-fifteen cuts.
These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.

Publications
The students publish the Beacon, a weekly newspaper; the
Manuscript, a literary magazine, issued in the Spring; and the
A mnicola, the College annual. There are opportunities for
students on the editorial, art, and business staffs.
Graduated amounts, in the form of tuition stipends, are available to students in the upper classes who hold editorial and
managerial positions on the student publications. Students
eligible for these grants should make written application to the
faculty director of the publication before April I.

�Athletics
Athletics are an integral part of the activity program and as
such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration
and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The College maintains intercollegiate schedules in eight varsity
sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, swimming, and wrestling. Men who take part in intercollegiate sports
satisfy the requirements for physical education for the duration
of that sport.
A program of intramural sports and physical education stresses
physical standards and cooperative team spirit and recreation.
Every man has a chance to participate in basketball, touch football, volleyball, softball, and bowling. The athletic program for
women includes dancing, folk and modern; bowling, basketball,
softball and swimming.

ATHLETIC POLICY
Intercollegiate athletics are introduced for the benefit of the
student body and in consequence athletes receive the same consideration in admissions and in the awarding of scholarships that
is given to other students. Wilkes enters into intercollegiate
competition with other colleges of the Middle Atlantic Conference adhering to similar policies of admission and maintaining
comparable scholastic standards.
The College is a member of the Middle Atlantic Collegiate
Athletic Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Student Regulations
It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis
of good relations between individuals. Informal and friendly
associations between students and faculty are a tradition on
campus.
Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have
been established in the best interests of the individual and the
College. A few are mentioned here:
1. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden,
and none will be served at college affairs.

2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, in the
library, or on the first floor of the Commons. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke
during their free periods.
3. The College provides several parking lots for student automobiles. Since facilities are limited, dormitory and commuting
students are required to purchase at the Finance Office a permit
which entitles them to park their cars in the areas reserved for
their use. Cars which do not display appropriate parking sticker
will be towed away at the student's expense. Freshmen and
sophomore dormitory students are not permitted to maintain
cars on campus.
4. Although participation in at least one student act1v1ty is
encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively.
5. The Faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special
religious observances; in such cases, the student shall present his
instructors with a note from the Deans explaining his absence.
In all instances the student is expected to make up the work that
is missed.

�Page 36 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

The students in a great measure determine the influences of
the College. The Faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals.

The Academic Program
of the College

Because students benefit from a program and policies to which
they subscribe, the College may request students to withdraw
when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to
the best interests of the student body.

Learning
at

Wilkes

Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and
beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better
expression of man's purpose than his sense of
belonging to a uni verse ruled by truth.
Thought has roots in the world of human
experience. Creative thinkers set the standards
and the high aims of education. One may not
reach these standards in his lifetime; that they
are recognized and sought after is the measure of
one's creative interests.
The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner resources of the
mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his
achievement.
The Faculty can teach the student facts, but his
contribution to a free society depends upon the
continual expansion of his knowledge and upon
its relevance to human experience.
Education is the process of connecting and relating, of testing and retesting, of discovery and
rediscovery.
The Faculty encourages the student to cultivate
learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way
the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise
and delight at rediscovering itself.

DEGREE PROGRAMS

Wilkes is a liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural
,ciences. The College also confers the degree of Bachelor of
Science in chemistry, medical technology, commerce and finance,

1961 the physics program will be extended to include the full
four years of study required for the Bachelor 's degree.
TERMINAL PROGRAMS
tudents may earn terminal Certificates in the two-year secretarial and pre-dental curricula, in addition to the three-year
pre-dental program.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION

EVENING DIVISION

The evening division offers educational opportunities to adults
who cannot attend day classes. Students may register for courses
in the Evening Division and earn credits toward an undergraduate degree.
Students will confer with the Director of the Evening Division
to arrange a course of study to meet their needs, abilities, and
special requirements. During the semester students will consult
with the Assistant Director of Evening Classes concerning their

When the student completes thirty hours, his record is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. At this time the Committee recommends that a student continue to work for a degree,
or be placed on probation, or withdraw from the Evening
Division.
Students who do not desire a degree are admitted to all classe~
which they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity,
previous education, and experience. High school training is
desirable but not necessary, provided the student is qualified

�Faculty Requirements
GRADES
The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the
student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students
for purposes of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to
students and parents at the end of each term. Mid-term reports
are sent if the work is unsatisfactory.
Five numerical grades and a subscript E for English usage are
given for academic work.

FACULTY REQUIREMENTS - Page 4~

COURSE CREDITS

Each course at the College is assigned a specific 11-umber of
credits. For example, English 101 is a $ credit cou,r:5_e and English
151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course
are determined by the number of hours that ~he class meets per
week.

POINT AVERAGES
The student is given a number grade for every course in which
he is enrolled. To calculate the number of points earned in a
course, multiply the grade in each course by the number of credit
hours for the course. To compute the point average, total these
points for all courses and divide by the total number of credit
hours.
Below is an example illustrating the method used to compute
point averages.

2 ........ .. ............ . Good
I ..... . ...... . .......... Passing
0 ....................... Failing
An E subscript is given with the grade for the course when the
written or oral English of the student is below standard. If the
student at the end of any term is judged deficient by two or more
instructors of subjects other than English, he must complete satisfactorily an additional course in English composition. This cour e
shall be taken during the term immediately following, if possible,
but under any circumstance it must be taken during the following
year. No student is eligible for graduation unless he is deemed competent in the use of the English language.

Inc. means that a student receives an incomplete grade. Incompletes will be granted to students who because of illness or
reasons beyond their control have been unable to satisfy specific
course assignments. All unfinished work must be completed
before the sixth week of the following term. If an incomplete is
not removed within this period, the grade will be changed to a
zero.

�Advanced Study

College and Community

PREPARATION FOR PROFESSIONS

The College was founded to serve the community and has
received a large measure of its ever-growing support from outtanding leaders in the community. It has recognized for many
years that its growth was related to the economic and social
redevelopment of the community and, therefore, it has sought
to participate in every effort for community betterment. In consequence, a pattern of cooperation has developed in which t~e
College and the Community work with one another for then
mutual benefit.

Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as
early as possible with their department chairman. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students may meet
the entrance requirements of graduate and professional school.
Liberal arts preparation provides an excellent background for
work in professional schools, such as those of Business Administration, Education, Library, Law or Theology.
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction
of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State
of New York.
ALUMNI OFFICE
The Alumni Office keeps records of the addresses of all living
graduates and alumni of the College. It edits the Alumnus and
acts as liaison for the College with alumni and interprets to the
alumni chapters the changes and needs of the institution.
GRADUATE PLACEMENT
The Placement Office assists seniors in finding permanent employment in a position suitable to their talents and training. It
also extends such assistance to any graduate of the College.

LABOR-MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
Because Wilkes serves an area which has been undergoing
drastic economic readjustments, it is deemed essential that every
effort be made to encourage cooperative planning and action.
To e tablish a climate for industrial redevelopment the College
has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which
the needs of the individual and the company are analyzed.
Plans are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and
other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific requirements of the particular company. Where several firms
are confronted with common problems, special classes are organized to include representation of several companies.
The program designed for members of labor unions is tailored
to the particular needs of the group. Broad topics in economics
are presented to provide a basis for the discussion of ideas, laws,
and practices. All classes are conducted on the College campus
where the academic climate induces and stimulates free intellectual inquiry. It has been demonstrated that in this atmosphere
the members participate more freely in the discussion and
con ideration of significant problems.
As an integral part of the three-pronged Labor-Management
Training Program, union and management personnel sometimes
meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding
that is essential to constructive action.

�Degree Programs
BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, biology, mathematics or music choose their
major when they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except chemistry,
education, and physics. The requirements for each major are specified in the
section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.

A major may also be taken in social science. The social-science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours

in each of the other three. Social science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.

BACHELOR OF ARTS
General requirements for all majors other than art, biology,
mathematics, and music

Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in. education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for t~e prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in t~e public schools wal receive credit toward the social science major for all
required courses in economics, history, pol itical science, and sociology.

Major in Mathematics
Students planning to major in mathematics should take courses in high
school that prepare them to start the college mathematics program with the
course in Analytic Geometry. However, since not all students are prepared for
this course, the program may be started with the course in College Algebra
and Trigonometry. Students doing the latter should plan to finish Differential
Equations and Infinite Series by the end of the fourth semester. This may be
accomplished in several ways:
1. Math. 107 and Math. 109 may be taken in the summer session preceding the freshman year.
2. After completion of Math. 105 and Math. 122 in the freshman year,
Math. 125 may be taken in the summer session between the freshman
and sophomore years.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY

Seventh Semester

The chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training in the
fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the general education of the
student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry immediately upon graduation or may continue their studies in graduate school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete one
hundred thirty-four credits. These credits include forty-five in chemistry,
thirty-two in physics and mathematics, fifteen to twenty-one in the social
sciences and psychology, twenty-one to thirty-three in the hwnanities, and
the language requirement.
Students planning to major in Chemistry or Physics should take courses in
high school that prepare them to start the college mathematics program with
the course in Analytic Geometry. However, since not all students are prepared
for this course, the program may be started with the course in College Alg&lt;:bra
and Trigonometry. Students doing the latter should plan to finish Differential
Equations and Infinite Series by the end of the fourth semester. This may be
accomplished in several ways:
1. Math. 107 and Math. 109 may be taken in the summer session preceding the freshman year.
2. After completion of Math. 105 and Math. 122 in the freshman year,

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS
Wilkes College offers the first two years of work leading toward a major
in physics or in engineering physics. The need for men with this type of education is emphasized by the many new problems which have arisen with the
application of nuclear energy. The curriculum offers a firm grounding in the
fundamentals, without which further study cannot be continued profitably.
The course in physics prepares the student for industry, teaching, or research.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it appeals to those genuinely interested in mathematics, the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields ·
research appeals most to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may
be interested in development and design; others find . satisfaction in the
tangible results of construction, operation, andJroduction. Technically trained
men are always needed to sell applications an equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the student should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engineering and one of the other branc~es of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or
mechanical engineering.
.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high school
that prepare them to start the college mathematics program with the course in
Analytic Geometry. However, since' not all students are prepared for this
course, the program may be started with the course in College Algebra and
Trigonometry. Students doing the latter should plan to finish Differential
Equations and Infinite Series by the end of the fourth semester. This may be
accomplished in several ways:
.
1. ;Math. 107 and Math. 109 may be taken in ·the summer session preceding the Freshman year.
2. After completion of Math. 105 and Math. 122 in the. Freshman year,
Math. 125 may be taken in the summer session between the Freshman
and Sophomore years.

The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to m~et cost an_d pr?duction req~iremen~s. Prepar~t~on ':'ith
a background in science, engmeermg, economics, business admm1strat1on,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability b~t also economic and ~umanistic
interests, as well as character and personality. He must work with others
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
engineer deals with people as well as with machines an~ ma~eri~ls. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those pnmanly mterested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the po~er
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future.

PSYCHOLOGY
Assistant Professor R. Riley, chairman; Assistant Professor Gaito; Instructors Kanner and Krasno.
A major in psychology consists of twenty-four hours. Psychology
100 is not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 is accepted.

The Department requires that psychology majors take one year of a
laboratory science; they may elect biology, chemistry, or physics and subtitute this for either Biology 100 or Physics 100. Students planning to
take graduate work in psychology should study either French or German
in order to meet graduate school requirements.
The major in psychology is designed for students who plan to continue the study of psychology on the graduate level, as well as for those
whose interests lie in the teaching of psychology in colleges or in the
application of the study to such fields as advertising, clinical work, business, education, and industrial personnel work. Students are cautioned
that an undergraduate major in psychology does not qualify them for
professional psychological work. No student can qualify as a psychologist without advanced graduate study; in a great many fields today,
moreover, professional psychologists must hold the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy.
Students who desire certification by the Pennsylvania Department of
Public Instruction as psychological examiners or public school psychologists should carefully plan their programs under the direction of their
faculty advisers to preclude the possibility of omitting necessary courses.

�IN PERSPECTIVE

In Perspective
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Buckn~ll U~iversity, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. In September 1933 the .first classes
were offered in rented quarters with a student body of 196; a local
faculty and administration of .five persons were assisted by commuting
members of the Bucknell faculty.
During its .first few years, it was looked upo~ ~s an_ extension of
Bucknell University and was governed by the admm1strat10n an~ board
of the University. By 1937 it was apparent, however, that 1t could
better serve the community if it was governed and supported locally,
and was free to develop a program suited to the peculiar needs of the
Wyoming Valley. Recognizing the desirability of greater_ aut~nomy and
increased local responsibility, the Board of Bucknell Um~e~s~ty authorized the creation of a local Board carrying full respons1b1hty for the
maintenance and development of the Junior College. On January 13,
1938 with President Arnaud Marts of the University presiding, the
newl; elected board of nineteen members h:ld its first m~eting a~d
elected as its .first chairman, Gilbert S. McClmtock whose mterests m
young people and cultural affairs had long established him as an outstanding leader of the community.
Although a large measure of the responsibility for the Junior College
was transferred to a local Board of Trustees in 1938, nine years were
to elapse before the financial responsibility and property were to be
transferred from Bucknell to the newly incorporated Wilkes College.
During these intervening years, that were interru~ted
World War
it was understood by the Boards of both the Urnvers1ty and the Junior
College that complete autonomy would be granted when the College
was given sufficient endowment to assure its independent development.
By the spring of 1947 three buildings on South River Street had
been given by Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark, Mrs. John N.
Conyngham, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen P. Kirby, and th_e endowment
had been started by gifts of $500,000. With these tangible assets the
local Board sought an independent charter and on June 26, 1947,
Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college dedicated to twin
goals-a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and
a program of service to the community.
Although a new institution was born of the University that ha~ sustained it for fourteen years, its character had already been established
during the years in which its trustees and faculty had worked to
achieve an independent status for it.

?Y

:I,

19

From its beginning the College had been non-denominational in
character even though its parent, Bucknell University, was affiliated
with the Baptist church. It was inevitable, however, that the new
college should be non-sectarian for its purpose was to serve all students
equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with
all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these
ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control.
As this decision grew from the relation of the college to the community, so did other decisions emerge from the efforts of the College to
serve the community. One or two years of experience showed that
high standards could not be maintained nor could intellectual inquiry
be encouraged without the selection of able students and the refusal of
those who were deficient in ability, ambition, or intellectual drive. The
intermingling of these two groups was detrimental to both, and in consequence, a policy of selective admissions was adopted in 1937./
Another policy emerged from the growing conviction that group
differences and antagonisms are dangerous in a world that grows
smaller as communications are speeded up, and ideological conflicts grow more intense. To break through the psychological barriers
that separate individuals and groups, it was decided to discourage the
formation of campus organizations that were not open to all students.
In consequence, clubs and activities at the College are open to all
students, and groups that are exclusive do not exist. Other activities
have taken their place and the students have cultivated unity of spirit
and purpose in the midst of diversity.
The desire of the College to encourage respect for and understanding of others inevitably led to the conclusion that the College must
welcome students from other areas and other states. In consequence,
a dormitory system has been developed and students now come from
many states and countries, and the number of these students increases
with each expansion of our dormitories.
In a day when many institutions wish to enlarge the student body,
the faculty and trustees of Wilkes have decided to keep enrollment
within limits that will assure the warmest possible relationship between
students and faculty. This self-imposed limitation has been adopted
because it is believed that education is not a one-way street with the
teacher offering and the student accepting knowledge, but is, on the
contrary, a mutual quest for understanding and insight in which students and teachers both participate. To maintain this relationship, it
is hoped to limit the day enrollment to about 1200 selected students.
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the com-

�20

WILKES COLLEGE

munity all benefit from cooperative effort, and it is expected that this
cooperative relationship will be expanded as modern trends establish
the need for trained intelligence, extended planning, and cooperative
action. Education is no longer isolated from the mundane affairs of
life. It is a part of our life and is essential to the further development
of our economic, political and social institutions.
Only through conviction and dedication can these goals be gained,
and the faculty has been chosen because of its convictions, and has
been held by its dedication to the purposes of the College. Its members come from many universities and from different nations. They
represent diverse points of view but are united by their faith that the
creative mind must be free, and by their desire to create at Wilkes an
atmosphere that will release and nurture the intellectual and spiritual
resources of the individual.
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a quickened interest in the welfare of students and a pressing desire to build
an institution that would awaken and cultivate the talents of its students.
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common.
Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion
of the campus.

�GENERAL INFORMATION

23

CURRICULA

The College offers programs leading to the Bachelor's degree in liberal
arts, biology, chemistry, commerce and finance, and elementary, secondary, business, music, and nursing education, in addition to two years
of work in physics and engineering. A student who successfully completes the physics or the engineering program may transfer as a junior
to an institution granting degrees in his .field.
TERMINAL PROGRAMS

Terminal programs in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work,
laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work are open to the
student who desires only two years of college.
EXTENSION CLASSES

General Information

Bucknell University gives extension courses in education on the Wilkes
campus. Graduate credit earned in these courses may be applied toward
the degree of Master of Science in Education and State certification in
guidance and administration. A person desirous of taking the degree
of Master of Science in Education at Bucknell University may earn
eighteen of the required thirty hours in Wilkes-Barre but must earn the
remaining twelve in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
New York.
ADMISSIONS

The College wishes to simplify admission procedures so that applications may be received and acted upon with a minimum of difficulty
for the student seeking admission. To this end the following plan has
been adopted:
1. Applications for admission, accompanied by a $5.00 fee, may be

submitted to the Director of Admission by mail or in person. Upon
receipt of the application, the Director of Admissions will write
for the high school transcript and wiU -obtain references from
those persons who are listed on the application form.
2. Admission tests are given in Stark Hall at 9:00 a.m. on two Satur-

days of each month from October through May. Information on
the testing dates may be obtained from the Director of Admissions.
Students may substitute Co11ege Board Examinations when it
is more convenient to take these tests than to make a special trip
to Wilkes-Barre.

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

3. Personal interviews will be scheduled by the Director of Admissions for students whose records, references, and tests indicate that
they can benefit from the work offered by the College.
ADVANCED STANDING

A student who wishes to transfer to the College from another institution should follow the regular procedure for admission. He should
request the college or university from which he desires to tra?sf r to
7
forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable d1sm1ssal.
After the College has made a tentative evaluation of the record of the
student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive_ credit for ~he
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.
MARKS

Five numerical grades and a
for academic work. These are:
Grade
4
3

special mark for English usage are given

Interpretation
Superior
Very Good
2
Good
1
Passing
O
Failing
-E
English usage is unsatisfactory
Averages are computed by multiplying the grade earned in a subject
by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are
added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of
credits taken by the student. This quotient shall be called the point
average.
The subscript -E will be given by instructors of subjects other than
English whenever the written or oral English of the student is below
standard. If the student at the end of any term is judged deficient by
two or more instructors, he must complete satisfactorily an additional
course in English composition. This course shall be taken during the
term immediately following, if possible, but under any circumstance it
must be taken during the following year.
USE OF MARKS

Although the primary purpose of any marking system is to inform

GENERAL INFORMATION

25

th~ student of his_ achievement, m~r~s are also used by the College as
gmdes to counsellmg and for administrative purposes.
The faculty :ounsellor, before discussing future plans, must be informed concernmg the student's ability, stability, interests, and achievement for it is these factors that suggest the possibilities for development
of the student.
Marks and averages also indicate something of the values gained from
College. It is generally admitted that superior and good grades indicate
that a student is benefiting from his studies; it is similarly accepted that
a student who makes a poor record is gaining little from College. Marks
and averages are therefore used to determine whether or not the student
is receiving sufficient benefit to remain in College. For the guidance of
both students and faculty, the following averages are required for advancement from class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required:
Class
Sophomore ............... .
Junior ................... .
Senior ................... .

Average
1.4
1.7
1.85

Any student failing to meet these requirements will withdraw from
the College unless he appears before the probation and evaluation committee and convinces them that he merits another opportunity.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

To be_ eligible for gradu~tion all requirements of the College and of
the curriculum must be satisfied. These requirements are:
1. The completion of all subjects required for the degree.
2. A grade of 1 or better in each required subject.
3. An average of 1.85 for all courses.

4. An average of 2.0 for all subjects within the student's major.
5. Satisfaction of all requirements pertaining to the orientation and
assembly programs and physical education.
6. Satisfaction of all requirements in English usage.
7. Transfer students must complete a minimum of 30 credits m
residence at the College.
TERMINAL CERTIFICATES

Students taking terminal courses must complete all course requirements and must average 1. 7 credit points for all courses.
Two-YEAR ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS CERTIFICATES

Certificates in engineering and physics will be awarded to students
who have:

�26

WILKES COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION

1.

Completed 60 credits of required work and P. E. 101, 102, 103,
104, 105, 106.

2. Attained an average of 1. 7 for all courses.
PROBATION

Any student not attaining the grade necessary to advance him to the
next class will be put on probation for one semester. If, at the end
of that period, he has not attained the minimum average for admission
to his class, he will be dropped from college.
WITHDRAWALS

A student may withdraw from any course during the .first two weeks
of a semester without penalty. A student who withdraws from one or
more courses after the first two weeks but who continues other courses
will receive an "O" unless the Dean, faculty adviser and instructor
agree that the student be permitted to drop the course without prejudice.
TAKING OF DEGREES

In order to receive his degree or certificate, a candidate must be present
at commencement. If circumstances prevent his attendance, he must
apply to the appropriate Dean for permission to take the degree or
certificate in absentia.
COUNSELING

Each student will be assigned a faculty adviser at the beginning of
his freshman year and will be expected to confer with this adviser concerning the schedule and other educational problems.
REGISTRATION

Every student is expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. Late registrations may be accepted for two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no
registrations will be accepted. A student who registers after the registration dates will pay an additional charge of $2.00.
STUDENT LOAD

Students shall ordinarily be limited to the normal load for the course
of their choice. In the Liberal Arts this will be 16 hours with Pfr sical
Education; in the Sciences it will sometimes be 17 or 18 hours, and in
Engineering it will vary from 17 to 19 hours. Any student wishing to
carry an overload must obtain the approval of the Dean and his
advisor.
The maximum load for students with a 2.0 average shall be 18 hours,
and 20 hours the absolute maximum for all students.
Credits in excess of the normal load are charged at the usual rate per

27

credit, unless it can be shown that a student is compelled to take an
overload because of the rotation of courses within a department.
ATTENDANCE

Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed
a sufficient cause for failure.
Five consecutive absences from a class place a student on probation.
He may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate
Dean and the Department Chairman concerned.
Each student is required to attend weekly assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following number
of cuts each year:
Freshman and sophomore year Junior year - eight cuts.
Senior year - fifteen cuts.

four cuts.

These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.
FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its
teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers bring to the College a breadth
of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their subjects in
large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide
the intensive training essential to their various fields.
LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the College library, houses approximately 40,000 volumes.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number of
student employees.
Shelved on open stacks to encourage students and faculty members
to make full use of them, the books, with the exception of those reserved

for reference and as supplementary reading matter for particular courses,
may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Also available to members
of the College community are some four hundred current periodicals.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate or professional schools. It is recommended that
the student who wishes to extend his education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate
professional examination in his senior year. Such examinations are

�28

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

1. A student who desires to study at another college during the summer must have his summer schedule approved by the Graduation Committee prior to enrollment in the other college if his summer work is
to be credited toward graduation from Wilkes College.
2. When credits for the work taken in the summer at another college
are requested at Wilkes, it will be necessary for this work to be
evaluated. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take
examinations before credit is granted.
3. A student from another college who wishes to take summer work
at Wilkes must secure the approval of the proper officer of his own
institution if he expects to receive credit for such work.
EXPENSES

The flat tuition rate adopted by the College enables a student to gain
an education in most of the curricula outlined in the catalogue at the
rate of $325.00 a semester for tuition. In music, the sciences and the
secretarial studies, additional fees are charged for laboratory work and
individual instruction. In the event a student takes fewer courses than
are required in any given semester, he will pay $22 per semester hour
or $325.00, whichever is less. If a student elects a heavier schedule than
is required, he will be charged $ 22 for each additional hour of credit.
The tuition of $ 325 also includes a charge for maintaining student
activities.

Student Welfare
UREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library is intended to obviate the one great factor in
occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service provided not
only for seniors but for all classes in the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes .first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
culled from this raw material provide background information, which
is under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than .five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
several days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this .first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules under
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acquainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, some
of the problems of college adjustment. By placing responsibility upon
the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College
encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE

The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with personal problems. Students who desire such help may apply
directly to the Consultation Service staff for appointments. Interviews
with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential
basis.

COUNSELING

The College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
concerned with his progress with information about his abilities, interests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college
career to consult with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
progress or social and personal problems with which he needs hdp.
The Deans cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
with information and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the
student to discover bis own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.

New students or those who are unacquainted with this resource may be
referred to the Service by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, or any
other interested faculty member.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical applications rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters are studying life insurance problems
and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them

�34

WILKES COLLEGE

for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in chemistry may be available to small
industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.
PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College maintains a placement office in Hollenback Hall, South
Franklin Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment. More than one-third of the students
earn part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly helpful
to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is that of
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.
SPECIAL SERVICES

Accident and Sickness Insurance. Accident and sickness group insurance is required of all dormitory students, but is optional with day
students. The plans are described in material mailed to all applicants
upon admission to the College.
The accident policy provides reimbursement for expenses arising out
of any accident in which the student is involved during the entire college
year. Reimbursement is made up to $500.00 for each accident.
The sickness policy provides additional reimbursement for all expenses attendant upon any illness to which the student becomes subject during the college year. Under this coverage there is reimbursement up to $200.00 for each illness.
Broad in scope, the plan covers all the student's illnesses and accidents, regardless of how or where they may occur. Benefits under the
plan are paid in addition to benefits to which the student is entitled
under any personal policy or membership in any hospital association.
The fee for accident and sickness coverage is $25.00 payable at the
time of registration. It is underwritten by the Mutual Benefit Health
and Accident Association of Omaha and is under the supervision of
Howell &amp; Jones, Inc., Wilkes-Barre.
Accident Insurance. Accident insurance must be carried by all sh1•
dents to protect them from unnecessary loss during the school year. To

STUDENT WELFARE

35

provide thi~ coverage at a minimum the College has arranged for group
coverage with the Mutual Benefit Health and Accident Association of
Omaha. The fee of $7 .00 provides protection for the full period of the
College term and is payable at the beginning of the term.
Day students who wish to obtain both health and accident insurance
may buy this more comprehensive coverage at the same rate paid by
boarding students.
Lockers. The College provides a number of conveniently located
lockers for students who wish to safeguard their personal belongings.
A student may rent one of the lockers at the rate of $1.00 a year, one
quarter of which will be refunded when he surrenders his key. The
fee is payable at registration.

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student Activities
The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic work alone.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL

The Inter-Dormitory Council is the planning and co-ordinating group
for dormitory residents. The Council is made up of elected representatives from the various housing units. It plans the social schedule for the
dormitories, assists with administration, and the general functioning of
resident hall life.

37

CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.
The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
ORCHESTRA

The Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
aegis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three symphony concerts annually. Membership in the orchestra is open to talented
instrumentalists in the student body.
MADRIGAL SINGERS

This small group specializes in the madrigal works of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century European composers. Its Christmas program is one
of the most attractive features of the Town &amp; Gown Concert Series at
the College.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given during
the academic year are planned and presented by students. The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the administration and student
organizations in arranging these programs and awards a trophy to the
group that presents the best program of the year.

PUB LI CATIO NS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those interested in
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to join
the staffs.
DEBATING

DRAMATICS

Students interested in drama present several one-act plays and two
major productions each year. The students are given training in the
arts of the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and
stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at athletic events and gives concerts throughout
the year.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
be easily adapted to current interests.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate
sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every

�38

WILKES COLLEGE

man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, touch football, volleyball,
and bowling are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming.
ATHLETIC CODE

Athletics are an integral part of the activity program at Wilkes College, and as such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration, and approved by the Board of Trustees.
In arranging the extra-curricular program, whether it be athletics,
dramatics, debating, or the yearbook, each student is responsible for
determining how much participation is desirable for him. Whenever
participation in activities detracts from the scholastic achievement of the
student, it also tends to detract from development of those individual
qualities to which the activity should contribute.
It is believed, therefore, that at Wilkes College a balance must be
maintained between scholastic and extra-curricular activities so that
scholarship will not be impaired by excessive participation in student
activities.
In the athletic phase of the extra-curricular program at Wilkes College a particular problem is posed because the college maintains athletic
relations with other colleges. The experiences of other colleges have
demonstrated beyond any doubt that there can be neither fair competition nor good sportsmanship in intercollegiate contests if relations are
not confined to colleges adhering to similar policies.
The emphasis upon intellectual development at Wilkes College makes
it infeasible to emphasize athletics. It is the belief of the administration
and faculty that high scholastic standards cannot be attained when too
much emphasis is placed upon any one phase of an extra-curricular
activity. Therefore, the college gives no scholarships for the sole purpose of encouraging athletes to attend Wilkes College. Athletes will
receive the same consideration in admissions, in the classroom, and in
the awarding of scholarships that is given to other students.
Should the winner of the scholarship wish to participate in any student activity, he is free to do so. In no instance will the continuance of
his scholarship depend upon such participation. High scholarship and
good influences will entitle any scholarship recipient to the retention of
his award.
In arranging for intercollegiate competition, Wilkes College seeks to
establish permanent ties with colleges adhering to the same policies of
admission, maintaining similar scholastic standards, and offering assistance on the same basis.

Types of Aid
Wilkes College seeks to make a college education available to all
students of ability and determination without regard for their financial
circumstance.
To provide assistance for those who need :financial help, the College
receives substantial gifts from friends. The purpose of their gifts is not
to do for a student anything he can do for himself. Their gifts are intended to give needed help to those who are already making every effort
to help themselves. These gifts have enabled the College to establish
scholarship and loan funds which are available to students who demonstrate seriousness of purpose, capability, and a willingness to exert every
effort for the advancement of their own education.
In accepting any form of aid from the College the student also accepts an obligation-which is also the obligation of every other conscientious student-to:
1. Maintain a good scholastic record.
2. Exert a constructive influence in the College and the community.
3. Participate in an activity of his own choice.
In planning to meet any difference between his own resource£ and the
cost of education the student should consider a combination of work,
loans, and scholarships, and should consult with the College personnel
regarding his problems and his aspirations.
SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are the basis of the student aid program. It is not intended, however, that scholarships shall cover the full cost of education.
They are designed to bridge the gap between need and demand or
to permit greater participation in the program of the College.
The type of scholarship available to a student will vary with his needs
and interests, and the student who needs assistance should apply for the
type of grant that best suits his own situation.
Grants In Aid:

Grants are available to students with good records of achievement and
rerformance in high school or college who cannot fully finance the cost
of their college education and who can demonstrate seriottsness of purpose and effort.
Work Scholarships:

The College also offers a number of work scholarships. The holder
of these scholarships will meet all obligations of his assignments or forfeit all help from the College.
Honor Scholarships:

A few scholarships are awarded to students of outstanding achievement as a means of stressing appreciation of their contribution to the

�40

intellectual life of their group. The amount of each grant will be determined by need.
Publication Scholarships:
Scholarships are offered to students in the upper classes who hold
responsible and demanding positions on the student publications. These
scholarships are awarded as follows:

Adolph Herskowitz Memorial Scholarship Fund. For a period of
years Mr. Ernest Herskowitz is giving funds that will assist a worthy
student to gain an education.
William B. Schaeffer Memorial Scholarships. In 1951 a substantial bequest was left to the College by Mr. Schaeffer with the thought
that it would be used to advance the interests of the College and the
students. By action of the Board of Trustees a considerable portion of
the income from this bequest has been set aside for scholarships.
Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni has endowed a scholarship which will be
used to assist students of unusual promise and proved ability.

�42

WILKES COLLEGE
TYPES OF AID

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in all .fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and .finally atomic research have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are to the d~ad." The c~aracter of a man's world has always been determined by h1s understandmg
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the .field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background in the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who enrolls ~or the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the social studies and choose
electives in English, literature, and other subjects useful in his future

work.

In engineering and in commerce and .finance the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the liberal
arts program are required and the choice o~ ele~tives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the engrneerrng course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization_ eve~ thou$h t~ey do n?t
make engineering their life work. The curncula m engmeenng and m
commerce and finance will also prepare those who plan to teach these
subjects.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

47

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
CHEMISTRY

A steady demand for chemists and chemical engineers comes from
industry, government ( including the Armed Forces), and education. The
variation in kinds of employment is extreme. In industry, the chemist
may be in basic or development research; in pilot plant work, production,
administration, sales, or personnel. Advanced study is encouraged by
the chemical industry; while teaching positions require the B.S. or doctorate degrees.
ENGINEERING

The .first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools. With slight modification of their program, students
may complete the first two years of work in such additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining and metallurgical, and administrative.
JOURNALISM

A number of well-known graduate schools of journalism require a
preliminary four-year college course, but aspirants may also follow the
old-fashioned method of securing experience on local newspapers and
working their way up. Almost any type of college work will be found
applicable to the broad demands made upon the newspaper reporter and
editor, although English composition is fundamental.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major is the most popular
choice of journalism students, but the science and other courses also
prove useful, since the newspaper reports all phases of human activity.
The increasing interests of the United States in other countries make a
knowledge of foreign languages particularly desirable in preparation for
responsible positions as foreign correspondents.
Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or
Manuscript.
I.Aw

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fund amental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a required major in undergraduate work.

LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college course
before beginning their specialized library training. Foreign languages,
English, science, history, economics, sociology, or education constitute
appropriate major fields. Many library schools also require a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency in typewriting is desirable.
MUSIC

The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may lead them to participate actively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have special
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or performers.
Although students who concentrate in music may commence their study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college training is very
desirable.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach music in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillment of the fundamental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living."

liberal arts course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses p repared to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In consequence, schools of nursing and hospitals are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable graduates of approved schools
of nursing to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education.
A minimum of sixty-four college credits is needed to fulfill the requirements for the degree.
Extension courses in Nursing Education may be arranged by writing
to the Chairman of the Department of Nursing Education.
High School graduates desiring college experience before entering a
school of nursing may receive guidance in the selection of a program
suited to meet their individual needs.
The College maintains a cooperative relationship with local hospital
1;chools of nursing and provides instruction in the physical, biological
and social sciences.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

For those who wish to prepare for positions as medical technologists
and as technicians in research and industrial laboratories, a program for
registration by the Registry of Medical Technologists of the American
Society of Clinical Pathologists is strongly advised. This program calls
for a minimum of two years of college work, including certain prescribed
courses, and a technical training period of at least twelve months in an
approved school of medical technology. A student who meets these
pre-technical and technical training requirements is eligible to take the
examination given by the Registry for certification as a registered medical
technologist.
MEDICINE

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted to the requirements
of the various medical schools. The latter have, in recent years, restricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should determine as soon as
possible, though consultation with the Deans and their advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the requirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the

PHYSICS

The Erst two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine ( to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, and industry.

WILKES COLLEGE

SOCIAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in recent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distribution of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
agencies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
poverty, and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
supplemented by work in psychology, biology, and aIIied fields, provides
a valuable background.
SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The CoIIege offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and
dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this .field.
TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For coIIege and university work the best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take the Arts degree; students who expect
to teach in the schools of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or
degrees in such specialized .fields as engineering.
Certification for public-school teaching is usuaIIy based on the following requirements: the coIIege degree, specialized courses in education,
and a measure of specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is
authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare
elementary- and secondary-school teachers in most .fields of instruction.
p ART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional training. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 150.)
Anyone interested in a career not included in this list of the major
professions and vocations should consult the Director of Admissions.

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

Degree Programs
The basic requirements for degree programs are outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may be chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to meet the requirements for
graduation within each major program as conditions may require.

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.
DIVISIONS

Humanities
Art
English
Foreign Languages
Mathematics
Music
Philosophy
Religion

Social Sciences
Economics
Education
History
Political Science
Sociology

Sciences

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Psychology

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, biology, mathematics or music choose their
major when they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except chemistry,
education, and physics. The requirements for each major are specified in the
section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social-science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students w1ll not qualify for this
course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. Taking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman

in physics or in engineering physics. The need for men with this type of education is emphasized by the many new problems which have arisen with the
application of nuclear energy. The curriculum offers a firm grounding in the
fundamentals, without which further study cannot be continued profitably.
The course in physics prepares the student for industry, teaching, or research.

Students planning to major in Chemistry or Physics should take courses in
high school that will prepare them to start their college program with the
course in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students will not qualify for
this course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a
more elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:

WILKES COLLEGE

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
trans£ er to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania State College, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University
of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interested in
mathematics and the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the student should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or
mechanical engineering.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high
school that will prepare them to start their college program with the course
in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students will not qualify for this
course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. T aking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman
year, or
2. Starting the Freshman year with Math. 105, taking Analytic Geometry, Math. 122, in the second semester, and then completing the
first course in Calculus, Math. 125, in the summer between the
Freshman and Sophomore years.

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is basic to the study of aeronautical engineering.
Therefore, the first two years in mechanical engineering prepare the student
for the advanced work offered by several universities.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The d1emical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer.

�The Evening Division
To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who

desire and need training to fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business fields.
5·. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.

All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be approved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College may
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

TRAINING PROGRAM - LECTURE SERIES

151

MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
To fill a need in the community, Wilkes College offers a program for
the development of managerial skills among foremen and others who
aspire to become part of the management group.
The needs of each company are analyzed and, in consultation with
officials, foremen and others in the company, a program is arranged to
meet the general and specific requirements of the personnel in the company. The program is arranged in periods of 16 weeks in which the participants meet once a week at the College during the day or evening for a
two hour session.

Special Community Lecture Series
As a community college, Wilkes feels obligated to
provide opportunities for adults to continue their education. Ir therefore offers, in the Evening Division, an
introductory program in adult education, from which
it believes positive good will result.
Community members who register for one of the
lecture courses in the series meet one evening a week
throughout the ten or fifteen weeks the course is in
session. They do not receive regular college credit.
Given each semester, the lectures cost considerably

�Contents
Marks of An Educated Man ...
1. He seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding, and
without understanding the problems that separate us are insoluble.
2. He is able to communicate ideas in a manner that assures under•
standing.

3. He has faith in man. He respects differences because he knows how
they have come to be. He fears uniformity because it confines both
mind and spirit. He is aware of his own limitations and his neighbor's possibilities.
4. He possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great , t•
tainments. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
5. He cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich
his daily living and sustain him in times of crises.
6. He has ethical standards by which he lives.
7. He is aware of the human struggle for progress and comprehend
the forces that have assured or jeopardized this progress. He know
that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and
physical stamina.
8. He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen, and participate
constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community.

A History of the College

T

o PROVIDE opportunities for education comparabl~ to ~hos~ offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell Univers1t!, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named 1t Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, :X7i~kes-Barre an~ t~e
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community m Pennsylva111a, 1f
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was mainta~ned o~ an ex~rimental basis while the interest of students in advancmg their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and
plans for a permanent college were mad~.
.
. .
While these plans were under cons1derat1on, Bucknell _D~1vers1ty
adopted a policy in relation to the Juni?r ~ollege t~at s1g01ficantly
affected its development. In 1938, the U01vers1ty promised th~ College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as such support was of
value to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred
to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future
needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and
by successive steps extended its program to include four_ years of work.
In 1946, the University offered extension courses enablmg students to
.finish their junior and senior years in Wilkes-Barre, and the_ College
Trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an
endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied the requirement~
of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in
June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
Early in World War II, from February, 1913, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College
with the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were
quartered at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the regular college classes.
Although the war deterred the growth of the College for a time,
the impetus to education resulting from war experiences acce!crated
its development in the years immediately following the cessat10n of
hostilities.
RECORD OF GROWTH
The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 15 5 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn
from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three
years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citi-

zens to enable the College to move trom rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Slark were
the first donors, and John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given
in 1937, were dedicated by President Arnaud C. Marts of Bucknell
on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed
to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby's gift of the former residence of his
parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from
quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named
the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named
I aac Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the
cause of the American Revolution; Zebulon Butler Hall, in honor of
the Amencan patriot; and Gies Hall, in memory of Paul Gies, beloved
professor of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property,
Ashley Hall, was deeded to the College in 1946 by the heirs of the
Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs.
Roccena Wolfe. In 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the
College with the lot at the corner of South Franklin and South streets,
and later in the same year a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium, construction of which was completed in 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Pickering Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring;
..terling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of Colonel
Walter C. Sterling; and the President's residence was purchased with
funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
To provide adequate housing facilities for out-of-area women students, Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
give h,s South River Street home to the College in 1951. Now called
McClintock Hall, the building, together with the other four College
re 1dcnces, permits the accommodat10n of approximately one hundred
boarding students.
The gracious old Sturdevant house on South Franklin Street was purchased in the summer of 1952. Its rooms have been converted into
offices and classrooms for the departments of Education and Psychology.
In the following year, Miss Anna Hollenback bequeathed the College her home on South Franklin Street. It is now used for offices for
the Veterans Admmistration and the College's Guidance and Place-

�20

WILKES COLLEG E

ment Bureau. These offices were formerly located in Ashley Hall,
which has now been converted into a men's residence to accommodate
the increase in out-of-town students.
Since 1953 six additional properties have been acquired by gift and
purchase. Of these properties David Roberts Warner Hall is used as a
dormitory for men, and Harding House is reserved for the book store
and a student lounge. The other properties have been reserved for parking areas or are temporarily used for class purposes.
In September 1957, the Harold R. Stark Hall was opened for use by
the science departments. This building of approximately 50,000 square
feet has been given by a group of anonymous friends and will provide
students with the most modern facilities of study in the fields of
biology, chemistry, and physics.
Fortunately, endowment has kept pact with the expanding facilitie ·
of the College so that the tuition of each student is supplemented by
further income from endowment. Annual gifts from friends and alumni
also add to the funds spent for the education of each student.

CURRICULA

The College offers programs leading to the Bachelor's degree in liberal
arts, biology, chemistry, commerce and .finance, and elementary, secondary, business, music, and nursing education, in addition to two years
of work in physics and engineering. A student who successfully completes the physics or the engineering program may transfer as a junior
to an institution granting degrees in his .field.
TERMINAL PROGRAMS

Terminal programs in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work,
laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work are open to the
student who desires only two years of college.
EXTENSION CLASSES

General Information

Bucknell University gives extension courses in education on the Wilkes
campus. Graduate credit earned in these courses may be applied toward
the degree of Master of Science in Education and State certification in
guidance and administration. A person desirous of taking the degree
of Master of Science in Education at Bucknell University may earn
eighteen of the required thirty hours in Wilkes-Barre but must earn the
remaining twelve in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
l ew York.
ADMISSIONS

An applicant for admission to the College should write to the Director of Admissions to request a personal interview and a set of application
forms. Upon completing the forms, he should return them, together
with a $5.00 fee, to the admissions office.
Although it is desirable that the interview with the Director of Admissions or the appropriate Dean should take place at the College,
other arrangements may be made in instances in which a trip to WilkesBarre would seriously inconvenience the student applying for admission.
Admissions tests will ordinarily be scheduled during the interview.
An applicant who has taken the tests given by the College Entrance
Examination Board may be excused from the examination administered
by the College.
Upon receipt of an applica6on, the Director of Admissions will obtain
an official transcript from the secondary school or college formerly attended by the applicant. The Committee on Admissions will then consider the full record of the student and will notify him of its action
as early as possible.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WILKES COLLEGE

ADVANCED ST.ANDING

A student who wishes to transfer to the College from another insti•
tution should follow the regular procedure for admission. He should
request the college or university from which he desires to transfer to
forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable dismissal.
After the College has made a tentative evaluation of the record of the
student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the stu•
dent following a final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive credit for the
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.
MARKS

Five numerical grades are given by the College for academic work.
These grades are:
Interpretation
Grade
Superior
4
Very Good
3
Good
2
Passing
1
Failing
0
Averages are computed by multiplying the grade earned in a subject
by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are
added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of
credits taken by the student. This quotient shall be called the point
average.

25

both students and farulty, the following averages are required for adran~ement from class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required:

Any student failing to meet these requirements will withdraw from
th~ College unl~ss he appears before the probation and evaluation committee and convmces them that he merits another opportunity.
RlQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

To be_ eligible for gradu~tion all requirements of the College and of
the curriculum must be satisfied. These requirements are:
1. The completion of all subjects required for the degree.
2. A grade of 1 or better in each required subject.
3. An average of 1.85 for all courses.
4. An_ aver~ge of 2.0 for all subjects within the student's major.

5. Satisfact10n of all requirements pertaining to the orientation and
assembly programs and physical education.
6. Tr~nsfer students must complete a minimum of 30 credits at
Wtlkes.
TFRMINAL CERTIFICATES

tudents taking terminal courses must complete all course requirements and must average 1. 7 credit points for all courses.

USE OF MARKS

Although the primary purpose of any marking system is to inform
the student of his achievement, marks are also used by the College a
guides to counselling and for administrative purposes.
The faculty counsellor, before discussing future plans, must be in•
formed concerning the student's ability, stability, interests, and achieve•
ment for it is these factors that suggest the possibilities for development
of the student.
Marks and averages also indicate something of the values gained from
College. It is generally admitted that superior and good grades indicate
that a student is benefiting from his studies; it is similarly accepted that
a student who makes a poor record is gaining little from College. Mark
and averages are therefore used to determine whether or not the student
is receiving sufficient benefit to remain in College. For the guidance of

Two-YEAR ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS CERTIFICATES

en ior year - fifteen cuts.

four cuts.

These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.
FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its
teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers bring to the College a breadth
of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their subjects in
large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide
the intensive training essential to their various fields.
LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the College library, houses approximately 40,000 volumes.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number of
student employees.
Shelved on open stacks to encourage students and faculty members
to make fu11 use of them, the books, with the exception of those reserved
for reference and as supplementary reading matter for particular courses,
may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Also available to members
of the College community are some four hundred current periodicals.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate or professional schools. It is recommended that
the student who wishes to extend his education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate
professional examination in his senior year. Such examinations are
generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

1. A student who desires to study at another college during the summer must have his summer schedule approved by the appropriate Dean
prior to enrollment in the other college if his summer work is to be
credited toward graduation from Wilkes College.

Student Welfare
LlREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library is intended to obviate the one great factor in
occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service provided not
only for seniors but for all classes in the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
culled from this raw material provide background information, which
is under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and gueries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING

The College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
concerned with his progress with information about his abilities, interests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his col1ege
career to consult with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
progress or social and personal problems with which he needs help.
The Deans cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
with information and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the
student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
ereral days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules under
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acquainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, some
of the problems of college adjustment. By placing responsibility upon
the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College
encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE

The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with personal problems. Students who desire such help may apply
directly to the Consultation Service staff for appointments. Interviews
with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential
basis.
New students or those who are unacquainted with this resource may be
referred to the Service by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, or any
other interested faculty member.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical applications rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters are studying life insurance problems
and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them

STUDENT WELFARE

for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in chemistry may be available to small
industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.
PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College maintains a placement office in Hollenback Hall, South
Franklin Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment. More than one-third of the students
earn part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly helpful
to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is that of
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.
SPECIAL SERVICES

Accident and Sickness Insurance. Accident and sickness group insurance is required of all dormitory students, but is optional with day
students. The plans are described in material mailed to all applicants
upon admission to the College.
The accident policy provides reimbursement for expenses arising out
of any accident in which the student is involved during the entire college
year. Reimbursement is made up to $500.00 for each accident.
The sickness policy provides additional reimbursement for all expenses attendant upon any illness to which the student becomes subject during the college year. Under this coverage there is reimbursement up to $200.00 for each illness.
Broad in scope, the plan covers all the student's illnesses and accidents, regardless of how or where they may occur. Benefits under the
plan are paid in addition to benefits to which the student is entitled
under any personal policy or membership in any hospital association.
The fee for accident and sickness coverage is $25.00 payable at the
time of registration. It is underwritten by the Mutual Benefit Health
and Accident Association of Omaha and is under the supervision of
Howell &amp; Jones, Inc., Wilkes-Barre.
Accident Insurance. Accident insurance must be carried by all students to protect them from unnecessary loss during the school year. To

35

provide this coverage at a minimum the College has arranged for group
coverage with the Mutual Benefit Health and Accident Association of
Omaha. The fee of $7 .00 provides protection for the full period of the
College term and is payable at the beginning of the term.
Day students who wish to obtain both health and accident insurance
may buy this more comprehensive coverage at the same rate paid by
boJrding students.
Lockers. The College provides a number of conveniently located
lockers for students who wish to safeguard their personal belongings.
A student may rent one of the lockers at the rate of $1.00 a year, one
quarter of which will be refunded when he surrenders his key. The
fee is payable at registration.

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student Activities
The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic ~?rk alo_ne.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one act1v1ty during
the year.

37

The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
tudcnt officers and management.
ORCHESTRA

The Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
aegis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three symphony concerts annually. Membership in the orchestra is open to talented
instrumentalists in the student body.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a c~-~~dinatif:g agency, to e~tablish social _standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
super~ising, and executing ·the program of student activities.

MADRIGAL SINGERS

This small group specializes in the madrigal works of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century European composers. Its Christmas program is one
of the most attractive features of the Town &amp; Gown Concert Series at
the College.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given during
the academic year are planned and presented by students. The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the administration and student
organizations in arranging these programs and awards a trophy to the
group that presents the best program of the year.
DRAMATICS

Students interested in drama present several one-act plays and two
major productions each year. The students are_ gi_ven trainin~ in the
arts of the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-bmldmg, costummg, an~
stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at athletic events and gives concerts throughout
the year.
The College owns instruments which are used _by mu~icians _who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A umform 1s provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with me_mbership open t_o all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal exp~ncnce
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.

PUBLICATIONS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those interested in
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to join
the staffs.
DEBATING

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic .fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
be easily adapted to currenr interests.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate
sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every
man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, touch football, volleyball,
and bowling are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming.
ATHLETIC CODE

Athletics are an integral part of the activity program at Wilkes College, and as such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration, and approved by the Board of Trustees.

�38

WILKES COLLEGE

In arranging the extra-curricular program, wheth~r it be a:hletics,
dramatics, debating, or the yearbook, each student is responsible for
determining how much participation is desirable for him. Whenever
participation in activities detracts from the scholastic achievem_ent_ the
student, it also tends to detract from development of those 10d1V1dual
qualities to which the activity should contribute.
It is believed, therefore, that at Wilkes College a balance must be
maintained between scholastic and extra-curricular activities so that
scholarship will not be impaired by excessive participation in student
activities.
In the athletic phase of the extra-curricular program ~t \X:ilkes Co~lege a particular problem is posed because the college mamtarns athletic
relations with other colleges. The experiences of other colleges ha, c
demonstrated beyond any doubt that there can be neither fair competition nor good sportsmanship in intercollegiate contests if relations are
not confined to colleges adhering to similar policies.
The emphasis upon intellectual development ~t Wilkes Coll~g_e ma~c.
it infeasible to emphasize athletics. It is the belief of the admmistrat1on
and faculty that high scholastic standards cannot be attained whe? too
much emphasis is placed upon any one phase of an extra-cumcuhr
activity. Therefore, the college gives no s~holarships for the sole pu_rpose of encouraging athletes to attend Wilkes College. Athletes w~ll
receive the same consideration in admissions, in the classroom, and in
the awarding of scholarships that is given to other students.
Should the winner of the scholarship wish to participate in any student activity, he is free to do so. In no instance will the continuance of
his scholarship depend upon such participation. High scholarship and
good influences will entitle any scholarship recipient to the retention of
his award.
In arranging for intercollegiate competition, Wilkes College seeks to
establish permanent ties with colleges adhering to the same Rolicies. of
admission, maintaining similar scholastic standards, and offerrng assistance on the same basis.

Scholarships and A wards
GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Alth_o~gh Wilkes College was established to bring educational opportunities to the young people of northeastern Pennsylvania it has
becon:1~ clear with t?e passing of the years that many of o~r most
prom1s1ng student~ still requ~re financial assistance if they are to develop
those talents that l1e latent within them.
To. assist these able and ambitious students, friends of Wilkes College
contribute each year to a substantial scholarship fund that enables the
College to more adequately serve those for whom it was created.
Because these funds are given by generous men and women who are
desirous of helping young people in their efforts toward sel/improvement and self-development, it is essential that worthy and able students
be carefully selected and that the purpose for which these funds have
been given be clearly understood.
W~th the intention of assuring this understanding, the following
principles have been adopted:
1. Awards shall be limited to students who have demonstrated ability, ambition, and need, plus a desire to attend Wilkes College.
2. No application for scholarships shall be considered before the
student has been admitted to the College.

3. Every applic_ant for ~cholarship aid shall be expected to submit
confidential mformat10n pertaining to his financial needs and his
record of achievement.
4. No scholarship shall be granted until the student has demonstrated a sincere desire to gain an education and has made every
reasonable effort to finance as large a portion as possible of the
costs of this education.
'
'
5. It is anticipated that the family will cooperate with the student
and the College by offering the maximum of encouragement and
support. When su_ch home support is lacking, the College will
seek to dev~lop with the student a plan whereby his education
may be contmued through work, loans and scholarships.
6. No stude~t ma! simultaneously hold more than one scholarship.
7. Scholarships will be forfeited if the student, at any time, carries
fewer hours than are normal for the course.
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE APPLICANT

1. To establish eligibility for a scholarship, the student must first

ap~ly for admi~si~n to the College and must be accepted. Application for admusion should be made prior to March J.

LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS

Leadership Scholarships shall be award~d _to sel~cted big~ school
graduates who have demonstrated. leade_rs~~P m theu academic work,

annually if the student's performance in College measures up to his
promise in high school.

that the College may be able to provide needed assistance to able :i.nd
ambitious students. These grants amount to one-half tuition plus a
small amount to cover some of the difference between the tuition
changes and the cost of education.

The W. S. Carpenter Memorial Fund was established in 1956 by
W. S. Carpenter, Jr., and his sons in memory of W. S. Carpenter, who
was born in Wilkes-Barre on April 5, 1853, and lived in this community during his entire active business life. The fund was given to
strengthen the work of the science division by subsidizing res~a~ch
projects, assisting the College in attaining able teachers, prov1dmg
scholarships for outstanding students, providing lectures by speakers of
national prominence, purchasing exceptional tools, apparatus or other
equipment for use in the science department.

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in all fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as _tech•
nical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally atomic research have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are _to the d~ad." The c~aracter of a man's world has always been determmed by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a backwound in. th.e hum~nities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Spec1al1zed tram.
ing should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education f?r life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general educat10n develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses re•
quired for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific voca•
tions by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who ~molls ~or the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the soe1al studies and choose
electives in English, literature, and other subjects useful in his future
work.
In engineering and in commerce and finance the course of stu?y is,
by contrast, primarily technological, alth?ugh cours~s fr~m the liberal
arts program are required and the choice of_ ele~t1ves 1s left to the
individual preference. Students find the engmeerrng course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization. eve°: thou~h t~ey do n?t
make engineering their life work. The curricula m engmeenng and m
commerce and finance will also prepare those who plan to teach tl,ese
subjects.

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
(HE MISTRY

A steady demand for chemists and chemical engineers comes from
industry, government (including the Armed Forces), and education. The
variation in kinds of employment is extreme. In industry, the chemist
may be in basic or development research; in pilot plant work, production,
administration, sales, or personnel. Advanced study is encouraged by
the chemical industry; while teaching positions require the B.S. or doctorate degrees.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools. With slight modification of their program, students
may complete the first two years of work in such additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining and metallurgical, and administrative.
JOURNALISM

A number of well-known graduate schools of journalism require a
preliminary four-year college course, but aspirants may also follow the
old-fashioned method of securing experience on local newspapers and
working their way up. Almost any type of college work will be found
applicable to the broad demands made upon the newspaper reporter and
editor, although English composition is fundamental.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major is the most popular
choice of journalism students, but the science and other courses also
prove useful, since the newspaper reports all phases of human activity.
The increasing interests of the United States in other countries make a
knowledge of foreign languages particularly desirable in preparation for
responsible positions as foreign correspondents.
Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or
M(lnt/JCt'ipt.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

LAW

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fundamental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a reguired major in undergraduate work.

WILKES COLLEGE
PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complet: ~ four-yea~ college course
before beginning their specialize~ librar~ trarnmg. Forei$n langu~ges,
English, science, history, econo~ics, soc10logy, or educ~tion constitute
appropriate major .fields. Many ~ibrar~ schools ~l~o r:qmr~ a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency m typewntmg is desirable.

Music
The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may_ lead them to participate ~ctively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have speoal
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or perf?rmers.
Although students who concent~ate in m_usic may commen~e _the1~ study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college tramrng is very
desirable.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in ~us_ic
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach musJC_m
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillm:nt of th_e _fun~amental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living.
MEDICINE

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted _to the requirement·
of the various medical schools. The latter have, m recent years, re•
stricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should det~rmin: as soon a·
possible, though consultation with the Deans and theu advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required ot
prospective ministers. The pre-theol?gic~l .st_u dent should learn the requirements of his de~orninati?n and its ~ivm!ty sc~~ols. In ge~eral, the
liberal arts course, with a maJor or electives m religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses prepared to assume administrative, supervis_ory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In consequence, schools of nursing and hospitals are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable Waduates of approved schools
of nursing to obtain the necessary preparat10_n, th~ Colleg~ offers a ~rogram leading to the degree of Bachelo~ o~ Science m Nursing Educat1?n.
A minimum of sixty-four college credits is needed to fulfill the requirements for the degree.

49

Extensi~n courses in Nursing Education may be arranged by writing
to the Chal!man of the Department of Nursing Education.
High School graduates desiring college experience before entering a
school of nursing may receive guidance in the selection of a proo-ram
suited to meet their individual needs.
b
The College maintains a cooperative relationship with local hospital
,chools of nursing and provides instruction in the physical, biological
and social sciences.
PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications electronics
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engine;ring, manu~
facturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, and industry.
OCIAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in recent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distribution of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
a"encies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
poverty. and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
supplemented by work in psychology, biology, and allied fields, provides
a valuable background.
SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and

�50

WILKES COLLEGE

dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.
TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For college and university work the best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take the Arts degree; students who expect
to teach in the schools of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or
degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification for public-school teaching is usually based on the following requirements: the college degree, specialized courses in education,
and a measure of specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is
authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare
elementary- and secondary-school teachers in most fields of instruction.
PART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional train•
ing. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 150.)
Anyone interested in a career not included in this list of the major
professions and vocations should consult the Director of Admissions.

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

Degree Programs

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.
DIVISIONS

The basic requirements for degree pr~grams ar~ outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may ?e chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to m~~t the reqmrer:nents for
graduation within each major program as conditions may requue.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, biology, mathematics or music choose their
major when they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except chemistry,
education, and physics. The requirements for each major are specified in the
section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social -science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
tudents preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

Students planning to major in mathematics should take courses in high
school that will prepare them to start their college program with the cour e
in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students will not qualify for this
course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. Taking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman

�Seventh Semester

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY
The chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training in the
fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the broad general education
of the student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry immediately upon
graduation or may continue their studies in graduate school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete one
hundred thirty-four credits. These credits include forty-five in chemistry,
thirty-two in physics and mathematics, fifteen to twenty-one in the social
sciences and psychology, twenty-one to thirty-three in the humanities, and
the language requirement.
Students planning to major in Chemistry or Physics should take courses in
high school that will prepare them to start their college program with the
course in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students will not qualify for
this course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a
more elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.

\'\'ilkcs College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students ha:ve transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic Unirersity, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Lehig~, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania State College, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University
of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
va t range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the _student shoul_d consid~r his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but 1t should appeal to those genuinely interested in
mathematics and the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
~e earch a~peals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested m development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always need_ed. to sell applications and e3uipment. As his experience
broadens and hrs Judgment matures, the engmeer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the student should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical or
mechanical engineering.
'
tudents pl~nning to major in Engine~ring should take courses in high
~hool th~t will prepare them to start their college program with the course
m Analytic ~eometry. Unf~rtu1;1ately, all students will not qualify for this
course, and, rn consequence, 1t will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. Taking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman
year, or
2. Starting the Fresh1;11an year with Math. 105, taking Analytic Geometry, Math. 122, m the second semester, and then completing the
first course in Calculus, Math. 125, in the summer between the
Freshman and Sophomore years.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer include
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in science, engineering, economics, business administration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability but also economic and humanistic
interests, as well as character and personality. He must work with others
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
engineer deals with people as well as with machines and materials. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those primarily interested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installa•
tion, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
a.pplication of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an under•
standing of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future.

INTRODUCTION TO

Musrc- Three hours
MR. DETROY, MR. MORAN

An elementary course in the art of enjoying and listening to music.

forms, styles, and media. Emphasis is placed upon enlarging the musical
horizon through the use of a considerable number of illustrations.

Mus. 101-102-103-104.

THEORY OF

Music- Five credits each course
MR. DETROY,

MR.

MORAN

The study of the theory of music is centered upon three main prin
ciples:
(1) The recognition of intervals and meter through
dictation.
(2) The structure of chords and chord progressions
through keyboard harmony.
( 3) The writing of music through exercises in
harmonic and contrapuntal technics.
The first two semesters of theory are divided between ear training,
two hours; solfeggio, two hours; harmony, one hour. The third and
fourth semesters are divided between ear training, one hour; solfeggio,
one hour; harmony, three hours.
The concentration of all theory into these four courses is in accord·
ance with the method now employed in many of our leading school
of music.
There is no prerequisite for Mus. 101. Students may be admitted
to Mus. 102, 103, and 104 by examination.

�TRAINING PROGRAM - LECTURE SERIES

The Evening Division
To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who
desire and need training to fit them for advancement.

2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and
training for work in a new .field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the pro
f essional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business .fields.
S,. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain .fields for their personal satisfaction and im
provement.

All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each stu•
dent registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to regder for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be ap•
proved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College may
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

�HISTORY

A History of the College
o PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community in Pennsylvania, if
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and
plans for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly
affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as such support was of
value to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred
to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future
needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and
by successive steps extended its program to include four years of work.
In 1946, the University offered extension courses enabling students to
.finish their junior and senior years in Wilkes-Barre, and the College
Trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an
endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied the requirements
of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in
June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
Early in World War II, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College
with the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were
quartered at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the regular college classes.
Although the war deterred the growth of the College for a time,
the impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated
its development in the years immediately following the cessation of
hostilities.

T

RECORD OF GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 15 5 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn
from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three
years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citi-

19

zens to enable the College to move trom rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given
in 1937, were dedicated by President Arnaud C. Marts of Bucknell
on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed
to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby's gift of the former residence of his
parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from
quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named
the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named
Isaac Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the
cause of the American Revolution; Zebulon Butler Hall, in honor of
the American patriot; and Gies Hall, in memory of Paul Gies, beloved
professor of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property,
Ashley Hall, was deeded to the College in 1946 by the heirs of the
Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs.
Roccena Wolfe. In 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the
College with the lot at the corner of South Franklin and South streets,
and later in the same year a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium, construction of which was completed in 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Pickering Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring;
Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of Colonel
Walter C. Sterling; and the President's residence was purchased with
funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
To provide adequate housing facilities for out-of-area women students, Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
gave his South River Street home to the College in 1951. Now called
McClintock Hall, the building, together with the other four College
residences, permits the accommodation of approximately one hundred
boarding students.
The gracious old Sturdevant house on South Franklin Street was purchased in the summer of 1952. Its rooms have been converted into
offices and classrooms for the departments of Education and Psychology.
In the following year, Miss Anna Hollenback bequeathed the College her home on South Franklin Street. It is now used for offices for
the Veterans Administration and the College's Guidance and Place-

�20

WILKES COLLEGE

ment Bureau. These offices were formerly located in Ashley Hall,
which has now been converted into a men's residenc&lt;:: to accommodate
the increase in out-of-town students.
Since 195 3 six additional properties have been acquired by gift ancl
purchase. Of these properties David Roberts Warner Hall is used as a
dormitory for men, and Harding House is reserved for the book store
and a student lounge. The other properties have been reserved for parking areas or are temporarily used for class purposes.
By September 1957, the Harold R. Stark Hall, which is now under
construction, will be ready for use by the science departments. This
building of approximately 50,000 square feet has been given by a group
of anonymous friends and will provide students with the most modern
facilities of study in the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics.
Fortunately, endowment has kept pact with the expanding facilities
of the College so that the tuition of each student is supplemented by
further income from endowment. Annual gifts from friends and alumni
also add to the funds spent for the education of each student.

�GENERAL INFORMATION

23

CURRICULA

The College offers programs leading to the Bachelor's degree in liberal
arts, biology, chemistry, commerce and finance, and elementary, secondary, business, music, and nursing education, in addition to two years
of work in physics and engineering. A student who successfully completes the physics or the engineering program may trans£ er as a junior
to an institution granting degrees in his field.
TERMINAL PROGRAMS

Terminal programs in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work,
laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work are open to the
student who desires only two years of college.
EXTENSION CLASSES

General Information

Bucknell University gives extension courses in education on the Wilkes
campus. Graduate credit earned in these courses may be applied toward
the degree of Master of Science in Education and State certification in
guidance and administration. A person desirous of taking the degree
of Master of Science in Education at Bucknell University may earn
eighteen of the required thirty hours in Wilkes-Barre but must earn the
remaining twelve in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
New York.
ADMISSIONS

An applicant for admission to the College should write to the Director of Admissions to request a personal interview and a set of application
forms. Upon completing the forms, he should return them, together
with a $5.00 fee, to the admissions office.
Although it is desirable that the interview with the Director of Admissions or the appropriate Dean should take place at the College,
other arrangements may be made in instances in which a trip to WilkesBarre would seriously inconvenience the student applying for admission.
Admissions tests will ordinarily be scheduled during the interview.
An applicant who has taken the tests given by the College Entrance
Examination Board may be excused from the examination administered
by the College.
Upon receipt of an application, the Director of Admissions will obtain
an official transcript from the secondary school or college formerly attended by the applicant. The Committee on Admissions will then consider the full record of the student and will notify him of its action
as early as possible.

WILKES COLLEGE

ADVANCED STANDING

A student who wishes to transfer to the College from another institution should follow the regular procedure for admission. He should
request the college or university from which he desires to transfer to
forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable dismissal.
After the College has made a tentative evaluation of the record of the
student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive credit for the
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.
MARKS

Five numerical grades are given by the College for academic work.
These grades are:
Interpretation
Grade
Superior
4
Very Good
3
Good
2
Passing
1
Failing
0
Averages are computed by multiplying the grade earned in a subject
by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are
added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of
credits taken by the student. This quotient shall be called the point
average.
USE OF MARKS

Although the primary purpose of any marking system is to inform
the student of his achievement, marks are also used by the College as
guides to counselling and for administrative purposes.
The faculty counsellor, before discussing future plans, must be informed concerning the student's ability, stability, interests, and achievement for it is these factors that suggest the possibilities for development
of the student.
Marks and averages also indicate something of the values gained from
College. It is generally admitted that superior and good grades indicate
that a student is benefiting from his studies; it is similarly accepted that
a student who makes a poor record is gaining little from College. Marks
and averages are therefore used to determine whether or not the student
is receiving sufficient benefit to remain in College. For the guidance of

both students and faculty, the following averages are required for advancement from class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required:

Class
Sophomore .... . .......... .
Junior ................... .
Senior ................... .

Average
1.4
1.7
1.85

Any student failing to meet these requirements will withdraw from
the College unless he appears before the probation and evaluation committee and convinces them that he merits another opportunity.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

To be eligible for graduation all requirements of the College and of
the curriculum must be satisfied. These requirements are:
1. The completion of all subjects required for the degree.
2. A grade of 1 or better in each required subject.
3. An average of 1.85 for all courses.
4. An average of 2.0 for all subjects within the student's major.
5. Satisfaction of all requirements pertaining to the orientation and
assembly programs and physical education.
TERMINAL CERTIFICATES

Students taking terminal courses must complete all course requirements and must average 1.7 credit points for all courses.
Two-YEAR ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS CERTIFICATES

Certificates in engineering and physics will be awarded to sh1dents
who have completed at least 64 hours of required work approved by the
engineering faculty for entrance to other engineering schools and have
earned an average of 1.7 for all courses.
PROBATION

Any student not attaining the grade necessary to advance him to the
next class will be put on probation for one semester. If, at the end
of that period, he has not attained the minimum average for admission
to his class, he will be dropped from college.
WITHDRAWALS

A student may withdraw from any course during the .first two weeks
of a semester without penalty. A student who withdraws from one or
more courses after the first two weeks but who continues other courses

�GENERAL INFORMATION

27

WILKES COLLEGE

26

will receive an ''F" unless the Dean, faculty adviser and instructor
agree that the student be permitted to drop the course without prejudice.
TAKING OF DEGREES

In order to receive his ~egree or certificate, a candidate must be present
at commencement. If circumstances prevent his attendance, he must
apply to the appropriate Dean for permission to take the degree or
certificate in absentia.
COUNSELING

. Each student will be assigned a faculty adviser at the beginning of
his ~reshman year and will be expected to confer with this adviser concerning the schedule and other educational problems.
REGISTRATION

Every stude~t is expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. Late registrations may be accep~ed f?r two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no
r~gistrations _will be accepted. A student who registers after the registration dates will pay an additional charge of $5.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered by the tuition charge of $275 a semester is indicated in the
program of courses. No student may carry an overload without the
approval of his adviser and the Dean. Any student taking an overload
must have earned at least a "B'' average during the preceding term.
Each hour of work beyond that listed in the catalogue must be paid for
at the hourly rate.

teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers bring to the College a breadth
of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their subjects in
large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide
the intensive training essential to their various fields.
LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the College library, houses approximately 40,000 volumes.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number of
student employees.
Shelved on open stacks to encourage students and faculty members
to make full use of them, the books, with the exception of those reserved
for reference and as supplementary reading matter for particular courses,
may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Also available to members
of the College community are some four hundred current periodicals.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate or professional schools. It is recommended that
the student who wishes to extend his education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate
professional examination in his senior year. Such examinations are
generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.

ATTENDANCE

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed
a sufficient cause for failure.
Five consecutive_ absences from a class place a student on probation.
He may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate
Dean and the Department Chairman concerned.

1. A student who desires to study at another college during the summer must have his summer schedule approved by the appropriate Dean
prior to enrollment in the other college if his summer work is to be
credited toward graduation from Wilkes College.
2. When credits for the work taken in the summer at another college
are requested at Wilkes, it will be necessary for this work to be
evaluated. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take
examinations before credit is granted.
3. A student from another college who wishes to take summer work
at Wilkes must secure the approval of the proper officer of his own
institution if he expects to receive credit for such work.

. Each student is requ_ired to attend weekly assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following number
of cuts each year:
Freshman and sophomore year- four cuts.
Junior year - eight cuts.
Senior year - fifteen cuts.
These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.
FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its

�STUDENT WELFARE

Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library is intended to obviate the one great factor in
occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service provided not
only for seniors but for all classes in the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
?3-lled from this raw material provide background information, which
1s under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or prof essional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING

The College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
concerned with his progress with information about his abilities, interests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college
career to consult with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
progress or social and personal problems with which he needs help.
The Deans cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
with information and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the
student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.

33

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
several days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules under
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acquainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, some
of the problems of college adjustment. By placing responsibility upon
the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College
encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.

The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with personal problems. Students who desire such help may apply
directly to the Consultation Service staff for appointments. Interviews
with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential
basis.
New students or those who are unacquainted with this resource may be
ref erred to the Service by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, or any
other interested faculty member.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical applications rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters are studying life insurance problems
and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them

for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in chemistry may be available to small
industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.

provide this coverage at a minimum the College has arranged for group
coverage with the Mutual Benefit Health and Accident Association of
Omaha. The fee of $7 .00 provides protection for the full period of the
College term and is payable at the beginning of the term.
Day students who wish to obtain both health and accident insurance
may buy this more comprehensive coverage at the same rate paid by
boarding students.
Lockers. The College provides a number of conveniently located
lockers for students who wish to safeguard their personal belongings.
A student may rent one of the lockers at the rate of $1.00 a year, one
quarter of which will be refunded when he surrenders his key. The
fee is payable at registration.

PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College maintains a placement office in Hollenback Hall, South
Franklin Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment. More than one-third of the students
earn part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly helpful
to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is that of
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.
SPECIAL SERVICES

Accident and Sickness Insurance. Accident and sickness group insurance is required of all dormitory students, but is optional with day
students. The plans are described in material mailed to all applicants
upon admission to the College.
The accident policy provides reimbursement for expenses arising out
of any accident in which the student is involved during the entire college
year. Reimbursement is made up to $500.00 for each accident.
The sickness policy provides additional reimbursement for all expenses attendant upon any illness to which the student becomes subject during the college year. Under this coverage there is reimbursement up to $200.00 for each illness.
Broad in scope, the plan covers all the student's illnesses and accidents, regardless of how or where they may occur. Benefits under the
plan are paid in addition to benefits to which the student is entitled
under any personal policy or membership in any hospital association.
The fee for accident and sickness coverage is $25.00 payable at the
time of registration. It is underwritten by the Mutual Benefit Health
and Accident Association of Omaha and is under the supervision of
Howell &amp; Jones, Inc., Wilkes-Barre.
Accident Insurance. Accident insurance must be carried by all students to protect them from unnecessary loss during the school year. To

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student Activities
The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic work alone.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given during
the academic year are planned and presented by students. The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the administration and student
organizations in arranging these programs and awards a trophy to the
group that presents the best program of the year.

37

The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
ORCHESTRA

The Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
aegis of the College in the fall of 19 51, presents a series of three symphony concerts annually. Membership in the orchestra is open to talented
instrumentalists in the student body.
MADRIGAL SINGERS

This small group specializes in the madrigal works of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century European composers. Its Christmas program is one
of the most attractive features of the Town &amp; Gown Concert Series at
the College.
PUBLICATIONS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those in~ereste~ ~n
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to JOtn
the staffs.
DEBATING

DRAMATICS

Students interested in drama present several one-act plays and two
major productions each year. The students are given training in the
arts of the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and
stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at athletic events and gives concerts throughout
the year.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate
sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every
man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, touch football, volleyball,
and bowling are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
he easily adapted to current interests.

�SCHOLARSHIPS AND AW ARDS

39

Scholarships and Awards

Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni has endowed a scholarship which will be
used to assist students of unusual promise and proved ability.

Scholarships are awarded each year to entering students of outstanding ability and to students of high achievement who require
assistance that they may complete their college work.
To retain their scholarships, winners must remain in good scholastic
standing, must carry a full schedule of studies, and must conduct
themselves in a manner creditable to themselves and to the College.
Scholarships may not be used as an initial payment, but they are
accepted for the final balance of each term. A scholarship student
who withdraws during the term cancels his scholarship arrangements
with the College.

Mrs. Lewis H. Taylor left a bequest to the College for the assistance of worthy students. In appreciation of this gift the Board of
Trustees has set aside the income from the bequest to be used in
assisting students of outstanding scholastic ability who without assistance could not gain a college education.

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

Competitive scholarships are offered each year to students from the
first quarter of their high school class who make outstanding records
on the scholarship examinations given at the College on the last Saturday in April. All participants in this competition must apply for
admission to the College prior to the date of the examination.
Leadership scholarships are offered to young men and women who
have combined leadership in student activities with high scholastic
achievement. Students seeking these scholarships must apply for admission a week before the scholarship examinations which are offered
by the College on the last Saturday in April.
Music and art scholarships are available to a limited number of students who possess marked aptitude for either music or art.
Scholarships
Amnicola Scholarships. Each year the editor-in-chief of the yearbook is offered a full-tuition scholarship valued at $480. Tuition
scholarships of $100 are awarded to the business manager, assistant
editor, and picture editor of the publication.
Beacon Scholarships. The editor-in-chief of the College newspaper
is awarded an annual full-tuition scholarship worth $480. The business manager, the news editor, and the feature editor are awarded
tuition grants of $100 each.
Adolph Herskowitz Memorial Scholarship Fund. For a period of
years Mr. Ernest Herskowitz is giving funds that will assist a worthy
student to gain an education.
William B. Schaeffer Memorial Scholarships. In 1951 a substantial bequest was left to the College by Mr. Schaeffer with the thought
that it would be used to advance the interests of the College and the
students. By action of the Board of Trustees a considerable portion of
the income from this bequest has been set aside for scholarships.

Dickson Memorial Scholarships. Funds for four scholarships have
been given to the College by the Trustees of the Allan H. and Kate
P. Dickson Memorial Trust. These half-tuition scholarships will be
granted to students of high scholastic achievement and aptitude who
have also demonstrated leadership in student affairs during their high
school years.
The William H. Conyngham Memorial Scholarship is awarded
annually by Mrs. Conyngham in memory of her late husband, a friend

W. S. Carpenter, Jr., and his sons in memory of W. S. Carpenter, who
was born in Wilkes-Barre on April 5, 1853, and lived in this community during his entire active business life. The fund was given to
strengthen the work of the science division by subsidizing research
projects, assisting the College in attaining able teachers, providing
scholarships for outstanding students, providing lectures by speakers of
national prominence, purchasing exceptional tools, apparatus or other
equipment for use in the science department.

PICK
H

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in all fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally atomic research have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: ''Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background in the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who enrolls for the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the social studies and choose
electives in English, literature, and other subjects useful in his future

work.
In engineering and in commerce and finance the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the liberal
arts program are required and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in engineering and in
commerce and finance will also prepare those who plan to teach these
subjects.
BUSINESS .ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

43

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
CHEMISTRY

A steady demand for chemists and chemical engineers comes from
industry, government (including the Armed Forces), and education. The
variation in kinds of employment is extreme. In industry, the chemist
may be in basic or development research; in pilot plant work, production,
administration, sales, or personnel. Advanced study is encouraged by
the chemical industry; while teaching positions require the B.S. or doctorate degrees.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools. With slight modification of their program, students
may complete the first two years of work in such additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining and metallurgical, and administrative.
JOURNALISM

A number of well-known graduate schools of journalism require a
preliminary four-year college course, but aspirants may also follow the
old-fashioned method of securing experience on local newspapers and
working their way up. Almost any type of college work will be found
applicable to the broad demands made upon the newspaper reporter and
editor, although English composition is fundamental.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major is the most popular
choice of journalism students, but the science and other courses also
prove useful, since the newspaper reports all phases of human activity.
The increasing interests of the United States in other countries make a
knowledge of foreign languages particularly desirable in preparation for
responsible positions as foreign correspondents.
Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or

Manuscript.
LAW

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fundamental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a required major in undergraduate work.

�44

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

WILKES COLLEGE

LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college course
before beginning their specialized library training. Foreign languages,
English, science, history, economics, sociology, or education constitute
appropriate major fields. Many library schools also require a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency in typewriting is desirable.
Music
The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may lead them to participate actively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have special
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or performers.
Although students who concentrate in music may commence their study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college training is very
desirable.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach music in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillment of the fundamental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living."
MEDICINE

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted to the requirements
of the various medical schools. The latter have, in recent years, restricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should determine as soon as
possible, though consultation with the Deans and their advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the requirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the
liberal arts course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses prepared to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In consequence, schools of nursing and hospitals are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable graduates of approved schools
of nursing to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education.
A minimum of sixty-four college credits is needed to fulfill the requirements for the degree.

45

Extension courses in Nursing Education may be arranged by writing
to the Chairman of the Department of Nursing Education.
High School graduates desiring college experience before entering a
school of nursing may receive guidance in the selection of a program
suited to meet their individual needs.
The College maintains a cooperative relationship with local hospital
~chools of nursing and provides instruction in the physical, biological
and social sciences.
PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may trans£er to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine ( to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of i.
sound foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in colleg
teaching, clinical work, education, business, and industry.
S0OAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in recent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distri bution of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
agencies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
poverty, and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
supplemented by work in psychology, biology, and allied fields, provides
a valuable background.
SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and

�46

WILKES COLLEGE

dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.
TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For college and university work the best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take the Arts degree; students who expect
to teach in the schools of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or
degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification for public-school teaching is usually based on the following requirements: the college degree, specialized courses in education,
and a measure of specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is
authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare
elementary- and secondary-school teachers in most fields of instruction.
PART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional train•
ing. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 146.)
Anyone interested in a career not included in this list of the major
professions and vocations should consult the Director of Admissions.

DEGREE PROGRAMS

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

Degree Programs
The basic requirements for degree programs are outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may ?e chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to m~:t the reqmrei:nents for
graduation within each major program as conditions may reqmre.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, biology, mathematics or music choose their
major when they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except chemistry,
education, and physics. The requirements for each major are specified in the
section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social-science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

WILKES COLLEGE

DEGREE PROGRAMS

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS

The chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training in the
fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the broad general education
of the student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry immediately upon
graduation or may continue their studies in graduate school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete one
hundred thirty-four credits. These credits include forty-five in chemistry,
thirty-two in physics and mathematics, fifteen to twenty-one in the social
sciences and psychology, twenty-one to thirty-three in the humanities, and
the language requirement.
FRESHMAN YEAR
Second Semester
First Semester

Wilkes College offers the first two years of work leading toward a major
in physics or in engineering physics. The need for men with this type of education was greatly emphasized by the many new problems which needed solution
during the recent conflict. The curriculum offers a firm grounding in the
fundamentals, without which further study cannot be continued profitably.
The course in physics prepares the student for industry, teaching, or research.

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Lehig~, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvama State College, ,P urdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University
of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engil:"leer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the .student shoul_d consid~r his natural interests. The demands of this profession a~e exactmg, but 1t should appeal to those genuinely interested in
mathematics and the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
~esearch a_ppeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested m development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always need.ed. to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his Judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
_During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the _stud 7nt should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engmeermg and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical or
mechanical engineering.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

ELECfRICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chem·
icals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may bt
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer.

To?ay nea~ly eve!y a~ivity of civ~lized life depends upon electricity. The
electrical engineer 1s trarned to design, construct, and operate all electrical
generating equipment. He must supervise and control the distribution of
electricity for driving the machinery in mills, factories, and mines; for electric
railways, chemical processing, heating, lighting, and for all electrical devices
used in the home.
The communications field, including telegraph, telephone, radio, radar,
teletype, transmission of print and pictures, offers numerous opportunities.
Development of electronic tubes, transistors, circuits, and equipment for commercial processes offers opportunities in many fields of endeavor.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in science, engineering, economics, business aaministration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability but also economic and humanistic
interests, as well as character and personality. He must work with others
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
engineer deals with people as well as with machines and materials. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those primarily interested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future.

�TRAINING PROGRAM - LECTURE SERIES

147

The Evening Division
To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
Tht:: courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who
desire and need training to fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and
training for work in a new field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business fields.
5·. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be approved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College may
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

�A History of the College

T

o PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community in Pennsylvania, if
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and
plans for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly
affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as such support was of
value to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred
to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future
needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and
by successive steps extended its program to include four years of work.
In 1946, the University offered extension courses enabling students to
finish their junior and senior years in Wilkes-Barre, and the College
Trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an
endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied the requirements
of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in
June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
Early in World War II, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College
with the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were
quartered at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the regular college classes.
Although the war deterred the growth of the College for a time,
the impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated
its development in the years immediately following the cessation of
hostilities.
RECORD OF GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn
from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three
years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citi-

�18

WILKES COLLEGE

HISTORY

zens to enable the College to move trom rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given
in 1937, were dedicated by President Arnaud C. Marts of Bucknell
on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed
to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby's gift of the former residence of his
parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from
quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named
the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named
Isaac Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the
cause of the American Revolution; Zebulon Butler Hall, in honor of
the American patriot; and Gies Hall, in memory of Paul Gies, beloved
professor of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property,
Ashley Hall, was deeded to the College in 1946 by the heirs of the
Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs.
Roccena Wolfe. In 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the
College with the lot at the corner of South Franklin and South streets,
and later in the same year a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium, construction of which was completed in 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Pickering Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring;
Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of Colonel
Walter C. Sterling; and the President's residence was purchased with
funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
To provide adequate housing facilities for out-of-area women students, Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
gave his South River Street home to the College in 1951. Now called
McClintock Hall, the building, together with the other four College
residences, permits the accommodation of approximately one hundred
boarding students.
The gracious old Sturdevant house on South Franklin Street was purchased in the summer of 1952. Its rooms have been converted into
offices and classrooms for the departments of Education and Psychology.
In the following year, Miss Anna Hollenback bequeathed the College her home on South Franklin Street. It is now used for offices for
the Veterans Administration and the College's Guidance and Place-

ment Bureau. These offices were formerly located in Ashley Hall,
which has now been converted into a men's residence to accommodate
the increase in out-of-town students.
Generous monetary gifts have enabled Wilkes to adapt its acquisitions and equip them completely. In the fourteen years following the
promise of autonomy by Bucknell University, assets have been increased by more than $2,600,000.

CURRICULA

ADVANCED STANDING

The College offers courses leading to the Bachelor's degree in liberal
arts, biology, chemistry, commerce and finance, and elementary, secondary, business, music, and nursing education, in addition to two years
of work in physics and engineering. A student who successfully completes the physics or the engineering program may transfer as a junior
to an institution granting degrees in his .field.

A student who wishes to transfer to the College from another institution should follow the regular procedure for admission. He should
request the college or university from which he desires to transfer to
forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable dismissal.
After the College has made a tentative evaluation of the record of the
student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a .final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive credit for the
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.

TERMINAL PROGRAMS

Terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work,
laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work are open to the
student who desires only two years of college.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Bucknell University gives extension courses in education on the Wilkes
campus. Graduate credit earned in these courses may be applied toward
the degree of Master of Science in Education and State certification in
guidance and administration. A person desirous of taking the degree
of Master of Science in Education at Bucknell University may earn
eighteen of the required thirty hours in Wilkes-Barre but must earn the
remaining twelve in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
New York.
ADMISSIONS

An applicant for admission to the College should write to the Director of Admissions to request a personal interview and a set of application
forms. Upon completing the forms, he should return them, together
with a $5 .00 fee, to the admissions office.
Although it is desirable that the interview with the Director of Admissions or the appropriate Dean should take place at the College,
other arrangements may be made in instances in which a trip to WilkesBarre would seriously inconvenience the student applying for admission.
Admissions tests will ordinarily be scheduled during the interview.
An applicant who has taken the tests given by the College Entrance
Examination Board may be excused from the examination administered
by the College.
Upon receipt of an application, the Director of Admissions will obtain
an official transcript from the secondary school or college formerly attended by the applicant. The Committee on Admissions will then consider the full record of the student and will notify him of its action
as early as possible.

GRADES

Grades will be given to students in the middle and at the end of
each term. The mid-term grade is given to show student and faculty
the quality of work being done; the final grade indicates the accomplishment of the student in the whole course.
The grading system is as follows:
A-Excellent
B-Above average
C-Average
D-Below average, but passing
F-Failure
Inc-Incomplete-work must be made up by the end of the sixth
week of the following semester or the grade will
automatically become an F.
WP-Withdrew Passing- given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are passing the course.
WF-Withdrew Failing- given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are failing the course.
The student's academic standing is determined by the quantity and
quality of his work. The quantity is shown by the number of credit
hours of work performed during the term. The number of credit
hours applicable to each course is printed in italics following the title
of the course in the catalogue. The quality of work is shown by the
student's point average, which is determined in the following manner:
The letter grades are given numerical values, called point values,
as follows: A, 3 points; B, 2 points; C, 1 point; D and F, no points.
A student with a certain grade earns the point value of the grade for
each credit hour of the course. Thus, if his grade is "A" in a threehour course, he will gain 9 points; if "B'' in a four-hour course, he

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

will gain 8 points. His point average will be computed by dividing
the total number of points gained in all his courses by the total number of credit hours. The following sample record will illustrate more

DEAN'S LIST

The Dean's List published at the end of each term carries the name
of every student whose point average is 2.25 or higher.
HONORS

The distribution of honors at commencement is based upon the record
made by the student during his last two years at the College. Requirements for honors are as follows: for cum laude, a point average of 2.35;
magna cum laude, 2.60; summa cum laude, 2.80.

25

WITHDRAWALS

A student may withdraw from any single course during the first two
weeks without penalty. A student who withdraws from one or more
courses after the first two weeks but who continues to attend other
courses will receive an "F" unless the administrative council, upon
recommendation of the Dean and faculty adviser, allows "WP" or
"WF."
A student who withdraws from college after the first two weeks will
receive a ''WF" or "WP" for each course he has taken, together with a
notation from each instructor explaining the reason for his mark.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

A candidate for graduation must meet all course requirements as to
both quantity and quality of work and must comply with all regulations of the College.
TAKING OF DEGREES

In order to receive his degree or certificate, a candidate must be present
at commencement. If circumstances prevent his attendance, he must
apply to the appropriate Dean for permission to take the degree or
certificate in absentia.
COUNSELING

Each student will be assigned a faculty adviser at the beginning of
his freshman year and will be expected to confer with this adviser concerning the schedule and other educational problems.
REGISTRATION

Every student is expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. Late registrations may be accepted for two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no
registrations will be accepted. A student who registers after the registration dates will pay an additional charge of $5.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered by the tuition charge of $250 a semester is indicated in the
program of courses. No student may carry an overload without the
approval of his adviser and the Dean. Any student taking an overload
must have earned at least a "B" average during the preceding term.
Each hour of work beyond that listed in the catalogue must be paid for
at the hourly rate.
ATTENDANCE

PROBATION

Any student
next class will
of that period,
to his class, he

not attaining the grade necessary to advance him to the
be put on probation for one semester. If, at the end
he has not attained the minimum average for admission
will be dropped from college.

Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed
a sufficient cause for failure.
Five consecutive absences from a class place a student on probation.
He may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate
Dean and the Department Chairman concerned.

�26

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Each student is required to attend weekly assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following number
of cuts each year:
Freshman and sophomore year- four cuts.
Junior year - eight cuts.
Senior year - fifteen cuts.
These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.

2. When credits for the work taken in the summer at another college
are requested at Wilkes, it will be necessary for this work to be
evaluated. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take
examinations before credit is granted.
3. A student from another college who wishes to take summer work
at Wilkes must secure the approval of the proper officer of his own
institution if he expects to receive credit for such work.

27

EXPENSES
FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its
teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers bring to the College a breadth
of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their subjects in
large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide
the intensive training essential to their various fields.
LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the College library, houses approximately 32,000 volumes.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number of
student employees.
Shelved on open stacks to encourage students and faculty members
to make full use of them, the books, with the exception of those reserved
for reference and as supplementary reading matter for particular courses,
may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Also available to memoers
of the College community are some four hundred current periodicals.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate or professional schools. It is recommended that
the student who wishes to extend his education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropnate
professional examination in his senior year. Such examinations are
generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

1. A student who desires to study at another college during the summer must have his summer schedule approved by the appropriate Dean
prior to enrollment in the other college if his summer work is to be
credited toward graduation from Wilkes College.

The flat tuition rate adopted by the College enables a student to gain
an education in most of the curricula outlined in the catalogue at the
rate of $250.00 a semester for tuition, provided the normal load of
semester hours as stated in the catalogue for each semester is not exceeded. An additional charge of $17.00 will be made for each semester
hour in excess of the normal load.
The tuition of $250.00 includes a charge for maintaining student
activities.

�Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library is intended to obviate the one great factor in
occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service provided not
only for seniors but for all classes in the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
culled from this raw material provide background information, which
is under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING

The College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
concerned with his progress with information about his abilities, interests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college
career to consult with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
progress or social and personal problems with which he needs help.
The Deans cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
with information and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the
student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.

�STUDENT WELFARE

WILKES COLLEGE

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
several days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules under
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acguainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, and
with as little faculty participation as possible, some of the problems
of college adjustment. By placing responsibility upon the student for
planning and conducting these discussions, the College encourages
clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
Students who are over the age of twenty-two or who have attended
another college for at least one term may be excused from the sixweek orientation course and from freshman regulations.
COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE

The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with personal problems. Students who desire such help may apply
directly to the Consultation Service staff for appointments. Interviews
with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential
basis.
New students or those who are unacquainted with this resource may be
referred to the Service by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, or any
other interested faculty member.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical applications rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters are studying life insurance problems

and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them
for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in chemistry may be available to small
industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.
PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College maintains a placement office in Hollenback Hall, South
Franklin Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment. More than one-third of the students
earn part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly helpful
to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is that of
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.
SPEOAL SERVICES

Accident and Sickness Insurance. Accident and sickness group insurance is required of all dormitory students, but is optional with day
students. The plans are described in material mailed to all applicants
upon admission to the College.
The accident policy provides reimbursement for expenses arising out
of any accident in which the student is involved during the entire college
year. Reimbursement is made up to $500.00 for each accident.
The sickness policy provides additional reimbursement for all expenses attendant upon any illness to which the student becomes subject during the college year. Under this coverage there is reimbursement up to $200.00 for each illness.
Broad in scope, the plan covers all the student's illnesses and accidents, regardless of how or where they may occur. Benefits under the
plan are paid in addition to benefits to which the student is entitled
under any personal policy or membership in any hospital association.
The fee for accident and sickness coverage is $25.00 payable at the
time of registration. It is underwritten by the Mutual Bene.fit Health

�3·1

WILKES COLLEGE

and Accident Association of Omaha and is under the supervision of
Howell &amp; Jones, Inc., Wilkes-Barre.

Student Activities

Blue Cross. A student of the College may avail himself of Blue Cross
hospitalization coverage in the Wilkes College Student Group Plan at the
special rate of $1.40 a month (subject to adjustment). An application
for this service may be .filed with the Comptroller at the time of
registration.

The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic work alone.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.

Lockers. The College provides a number of conveniently located
lockers for students who wish to safeguard their personal belongings.
A student may rent one of the lockers at the rate of $1.00 a year, one
quartet of which will be refunded when he surrenders his key. The
fee is payable at registration.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities. Its meeting room is located on the third floor of Hollenback Hall.
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given during
the academic year are planned and presented by students. The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the administration and student
organizations in arranging these programs and awards a trophy to the
group that presents the best program of the year.
DRAMATICS

Students interested in drama present several one-act plays and two
major productions each year. The students are given training in the
arts of the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and
stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at athletic events and gives concerts throughout
the year.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.

�36

WILKES COLLEGE

The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.

Scholarships and Awards

ORCHESTRA

This small group specializes in the madrigal works of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century European composers. Its Christmas program is one
of the most attractive features of the Town &amp; Gown Concert Series at
the College.

Scholarships are awarded each year to entering students of outstanding ability and to students of high achievement who require
assistance that they may complete their college work.
To retain their scholarships, winners must remain in good scholastic
standing, must carry a full schedule of studies, and must conduct
themselves in a manner creditable to themselves and to the College.
Scholarships may not be used as an initial payment, but they are
accepted for the final balance of each term. A scholarship student
who withdraws during the term cancels his scholarship arrangements
with the College.

PUBLICATIONS

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

The Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
aegis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three symphony concerts annually. Membership in the orchestra is open to talented
instrumentalists in the student body.
MADRIGAL SINGERS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those interested in
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to join
the staffs.
DEBATING

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate
sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every
man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, touch football, volleyball,
and bowling are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, basketball, and softball.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
be easily adapted to current interests.

Competitive scholarships are offered each year to students from the
first quarter of their high school class who make outstanding records
on the scholarship examinations given at the College on the last Saturday in April. All participants in this competition must apply for
admission to the College prior to the date of the examination.
Leadership scholarships are offered to young men and women who
have combined leadership in student activities with high scholastic
achievement. Students seeking these scholarships must apply for admission a week before the scholarship examinations which are offered
by the College on the last Saturday in April.
.Music and art scholarships are available to a limited number of stuJents who possess marked aptitude for either music or art.
Special Scholarships

Amnicola Scholarships. Each year the e&lt;litor-in-chief of the yearbook is offered a full-tuition scholarship valued at $480. Tuition
scholarships of $100 are awarded to the business manager, assistant
editor, and picture editor of the publication.
Beacon Scholarships. The editor-in-chief of the College newspaper
is awarded an annual full-tuition scholarship worth $480. The business manager, the news editor, and the feature editor are awarded
tuition grants of $100 each.
Adolph Herskowitz Memorial Scholarship Fund. For a period of

�Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in all fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally atomic research have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background in the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who enrolls for the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the social studies and choose
electives in English, literature, and other subjects useful in his future
work.
In engineering and in commerce and finance the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the liberal
arts program are required and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in engineering and in
commerce and finance will also prepare those who plan to teach these
subjects.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

�42

WILKES COLLEGE
PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background .find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
CHEMISTRY

A steady demand for chemists and chemical engineers comes from
industry, government (including the Armed Forces), and education. The
variation in kinds of employment is extreme. In industry, the chemist
may be in basic or development research; in pilot plant work, production,
administration, sales, or personnel. Advanced study is encouraged by
the chemical industry; while teaching positions require the B.S. or doctorate degrees.
ENGINEERING

LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college course
before beginning their specialized library training. Foreign languages,
English, science, history, economics, sociology, or education constitute
appropriate major fields. Many library schools also require a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency in typewriting is desirable.
Music
The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may lead them to participate actively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have special
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or performers.
Although students who concentrate in music may commence their study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college training is very
desirable.

The .first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools. With slight modification of their program, students
may complete the .first two years of work in such additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining and metallurgical, and administrative.

The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach music in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillment of the fundamental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living."

JOURNALISM

MEDICINE

A number of well-known graduate schools of journalism require a
preliminary four-year college course, but aspirants may also follow the
old-fashioned method of securing experience on local newspapers and
working their way up. Almost any type of college work will be found
applicable to the broad demands made upon the newspaper reporter and
editor, although English composition is fundamental.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major is the most popular
choice of journalism students, but the science and other courses also
prove useful, since the newspaper reports all phases of human activity.
The increasing interests of the United States in other countries make a
knowledge of foreign languages particularly desirable in preparation for
responsible positions as foreign correspondents.
Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or
Manuscript.
LAW

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fundamental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a required major in undergraduate work.

43

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted to the requirements
of the various medical schools. The latter have, in recent years, restricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should determine as soon as
possible, though consultation with the Deans and their advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the requirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the
~iberal arts_ course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
1s appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses prepared to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In consequence, schools of nursing and hospitals are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable graduates of approved schools
of nursing to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education.
A minimum of sixty-four college credits is needed to fulfill the requirements for the degree.

�44

WILKES COLLEGE

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

Extension courses in Nursing Education may be arranged by writing
to the Chairman of the Department of Nursing Education.
High School graduates desiring college experience before entering a
school of nursing may receive guidance in the selection of a program
suited to meet their individual needs.
The College maintains a cooperative relationship with local hospital
schools of nursing and provides instruction in the physical, biological
and social sciences.

dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.

PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine ( to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, and industry.
SOCIAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in recent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distribution of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
agencies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
poverty, and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
supplemented by work in psychology, biology, and allied fields, provides
a valuable background.
SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and

45

TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For college and university work the best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take the Arts degree; students who expect
to teach in the schools of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or
degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification for public-school teaching is usually based on the following requirements: the college degree, specialized courses in education,
and a measure of specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is
authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare
elementary- and secondary-school teachers in most fields of instruction.
PART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional training. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 141.)
Anyone interested in a career not included in this list of the major
professions and vocations should consult the Director of Admissions.

�Degree Courses
The basic requirements for degree courses are outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may be chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to meet the requirements for
graduation within each major program as conditions may require.

PURPOSE
The liberal arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM
A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF

A

MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, mathematics or music choose their major when
they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except biology,
chemistry, education, and physics. The requirements for each major are
specified in the section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social-science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social-science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social-science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
trans£er to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students ha:7e transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic Univers!ty, Columbia, Cornell,. Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Leh1g~, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvama State College, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University
of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern en~ineer~ng techni9.ues. In selecting his particular field,
the _student shou~d cons1d~r his natural mterests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interested in
mathematics and the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
~esearch al?peals to the imaginativ~ mind; the more practical person may be
rnterested rn development and_ design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of constructwn, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always need_ed. to sell applications and equipment. As his ~xperience
broadens and his Judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the student should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical or
mechanical engineering.

Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad iield of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer include.;
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fund amentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in science, engineering, economics, business administration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability but also economic and humanistic
interests, as well as character and personality. He must work with others
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
engineer deals with people as well as with machines and materials. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those primarily interested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future.

SECRETARIAL COURSE

MEDICAL STENOGRAPHY

The two-year intensive secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general education; to develop an understanding of business activities;
and to give specialized training for secretarial work.
The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the degree
Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Finance or toward that of Bachelor of
Science in Business Education when students desire to continue their education after completing their secretarial training.

Medical secretaries require special training so that they may have an intelligent understanding of their part in the work of a medical office. To provide
the essential background, the secretarial courses are supplemented by biology
and laboratory courses in chemistry and physiology. The courses in secretarial
accounting and office procedures are adapted to the needs of the students
preparing for work in the offices of physicians.

the first week of the term to determine their levels of attainment.

A candidate for a degree with a major in medical stenography should consult with his adviser before planning his program of study. A student who
completes the two-year program and then decides to continue work toward a
degree should carefully plan the last two years with his adviser.

course includes a study of several of the famous experiments in the .field
of psychology. Also included is practice with the older as well as the
more recent methods of experimental research. ( Offered in alternate
years.)
Prerequisite: Psychology 100.

l00 is not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 is accepted.

The Department requires that psychology majors take one year of a
laboratory science; they may elect biology, chemistry, or physics and substitute this for either Biology 100 or Physics 100. Students planning to
take graduate work in psychology should study either French or German
in order to meet graduate school requirements.
The major in psychology is designed for students who plan to continue the study of psychology on the graduate level, as well as for those
whose interests lie in the teaching of psychology in colleges or in the
application of the study to such fields as advertising, clinical work, business, education, and industrial personnel work. Students are cautioned
that an undergraduate major in psychology does not qualify them for
professional psychological work. No student can qualify as a psychologist without advanced graduate study; in a great many fields today,
moreover, professional psychologists must hold the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy.
Students who desire certification by the Pennsylvania Department of
Public Instruction as psychological examiners or public school psychologists should carefully plan their programs under the direction of their
faculty advisers to preclude the possibility of omitting necessary courses.

Three hours

Discussion and demonstration of practical values in visual and other
sensory aids; standards for appraising and their_ r~lationship_ to the curriculum; guiding principles and techniques; m1mmum equipment and

To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who

desire and need training to fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
disrnssion courses offered in various business fields.
5·. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be approved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College may
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

o PROVIDE opportunities for edu~ation comparabl~ to t_hos: offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell Umvers1ty, m 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community in Pennsylvania, if
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and
plans for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly
affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as such support was of
value to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred
to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future
needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and
by successive steps extended its program to include four years of work.
In 1946, the University offered extension courses enabling students to
finish their junior and senior years in Wilkes-Barre, and the College
Trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an
endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied the requirements
of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in
June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
Early in World War II, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College
with the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were
quartered at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the regular college classes.
Although the war deterred the growth of the College for a time,
the impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated
its development in the years immediately following the cessation of
hostilities.
RECORD OF

GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 15 5 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn
from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three
years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citi-

HISTORY

zens to enable the College to move trom rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given
in 1937, were dedicated by President Arnaud C. Marts of Bucknell
on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed
to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby's gift of the former residence of his
parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from
quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named
the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named
Isaac Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the
cause of the American Revolution; Zebulon Butler Hall, in honor of
the American patriot; and Gies Hall, in memory of Paul Gies, beloved
professor of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property,
Ashley Hall, was deeded to the College in 1946 by the heirs of the
Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs.
Roccena Wolfe. In 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the
College with the lot at the corner of South Franklin and South streets,
and later in the same year a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium, construction of which was completed in 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Pickering Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring;
Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of Colonel
Walter C. Sterling; and the President's residence was purchased with
funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
To provide adequate housing facilities for out-of-area women students, Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
gave his South River Street home to the College in 1951. Now called
McClintock Hall, the building, together with the other four College
residences, permits the accommodation of approximately one hundred
boarding students.
The gracious old Sturdevant house on South Franklin Street was purchased in the summer of 1952. Its rooms have been converted into
offices and classrooms for the departments of Education and Psychology.
In the following year, Miss Anna Hollenback bequeathed the College her home on South Franklin Street. It is now used for offices for
the Veterans Administration and the College's Guidance and Place-

ment Bureau. These offices were formerly located in Ashley Hall,
which has now been converted into a men's residence to accommodate
the increase in out-of-town students.
Generous monetary gifts have enabled Wilkes to adapt its acquisitions and equip them completely. In the fourteen years following the
promise of autonomy by Bucknell University, assets have been increased by more than $2,600,000.

request the college or university from which he desires to transfer to
forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable dismissal.
After the College has made a tentative evaluation of the record of the
student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive credit for the
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.

TERMINAL PROGRAMS

Terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work,
laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work are open to the
student who desires only two years of college.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Bucknell University gives extension courses in education on the Wilkes
campus. Graduate credit earned in these courses may be applied toward
the degree of Master of Science in Education and State certification in
guidance and administration. A person desirous of taking the degree
of Master of Science in Education at Bucknell University may earn
eighteen of the required thirty hours in Wilkes-Barre but must earn the
remaining twelve in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREOITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
New York.
ADMISSIONS

An applicant for admission to the College should write to the Director of Admissions to request a personal interview and a set of application
forms. Upon completing the forms, he should return them, together
with a $5.00 fee, to the admissions office.
Although it is desirable that the interview with the Director of Admissions or the appropriate Dean should take place at the College,
other arrangements may be made in instances in which a trip to WilkesBarre would seriously inconvenience the student applying for admission.
Admissions tests will ordinarily be scheduled during the interview.
An applicant who has taken the tests given by the College Entrance
Examination Board may be excused from the examination administered
by the College.
Upon receipt of an application, the Director of Admissions will obtain
an official transcript from the secondary school or college formerly attended by the applicant. The Committee on Admissions will then consider the full record of the student and will notify him of its action
as early as possible.

GRADES

Grades will be given to students in the middle and at the end of
each term. The mid-term grade is given to show student and faculty
the quality of work being done; the final grade indicates the accomplishment of the student in the whole course.
The grading system is as follows:
A-Excellent
B-Above average
C-Average
D-Below average, but passing
F-Failure
Inc-Incomplete-work must be made up by the end of the sixth
week of the following semester or the grade will
automatically become an F.
WP-Withdrew Passing - given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are passing the course.
WF-Withdrew Failing- given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are failing the course.
The student's academic standing is determined by the quantity and
quality of his work. The quantity is shown by the number of credit
hours of work performed during the term. The number of credit
hours applicable to each course is printed in italics following the title
of the course in the catalogue. The quality of work is shown by the
student's point average, which is determined in the following manner:
The letter grades are given numerical values, called point valttes,
as follows: A, 3 points; B, 2 points; C, 1 point; D and F, no points.
A student with a certain grade earns the point value of the grade for
each credit hour of the course. Thus, if his grade is "A" in a threehour course, he will gain 9 points; if "B'' in a four-hour course, he

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

will gain 8 points. His point average will be computed by dividing
the total number of points gained in all his courses by the total number of credit hours. The following sample record will illustrate more

DEAN'S LIST

The Dean's List published at the end of each term carries the name
of every student whose point average is 2.25 or higher.
HONORS

The distribution of honors at commencement is based upon the record
made by the student during his last two years at the College. Requirements for honors are as follows: for cum laude, a point average of 2.35;
magna cum laude, 2.60; summa cum laude, 2.80.

25

WITHDRAWALS

A student may withdraw from any single course during the first two
weeks without penalty. A student who withdraws from one or more
courses after the first two weeks but who continues to attend other
courses will receive an "F" unless the administrative council, upon
recommendation of the Dean and faculty adviser, allows "WP" or

"WF."

A student who withdraws from college after the first two weeks will
receive a ''WF" or "WP" for each course he has taken, together with a
notation from each instructor explaining the reason for his mark.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

A candidate for graduation must meet all course requirements as to
both quantity and quality of work and must comply with all regulations of the College.
TAKING OF DEGREES

In order to receive his degree or certificate, a candidate must be present
at commencement. If circumstances prevent his attendance, he must
apply to the appropriate Dean for permission to take the degree or
certificate in absentia.
COUNSELING

Each student will be assigned a faculty adviser at the beginning of
his freshman year and will be expected to confer with this adviser concerning the schedule and other educational problems.
REGISTRATION

Every student is expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. Late registrations may be accepted for two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no
registrations will be accepted. A student who registers after the registration dates will pay an additional charge of $5.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered by the tuition charge of $250 a semester is indicated in the
program of courses. No student may carry an overload without the
approval of his adviser and the Dean. Any student taking an overload
must have earned at least a "B" average during the preceding term.
Each hour of work beyond that listed in the catalogue must be paid for
at the hourly rate.
ATTENDANCE

PROBATION

Any student not attaining the grade necessary to advance him to the
next class will be put on probation for one semester. If, at the end
of that period, he has not attained the minimum average for admission
to his class, he will be dropped from college.

Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed
a sufficient cause for failure.

Five consecutive absences from a class place a student on probation.
He may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate
Dean and the Department Chairman concerned.

�GENERAL INFORMATION

27

WILKES COLLEGE

26

Each student is required to attend weekly assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following number
of cuts each year:
Freshman and sophomore year - four cuts.
Junior year - eight cuts.
Senior year - fifteen cuts.
These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.
FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its
teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers bring to the College a breadth
of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their subjects in
large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide
the intensive training essential to their various fields.
LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the College library, houses approximately 32,000 volumes.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number of
student employees.
Shelved on open stacks to encourage students and faculty members
to make full use of them, the books, with the exception of those reserved
for reference and as supplementary reading matter for particuiar courses,
may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Also available to memoers
of the College community are some four hundred current periodicals.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate or professional schools. It is recommended that
the student who wishes to extend his education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate
professional examination in his senior year. Such examinations are
generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

1. A student who desires to study at another college during the summer must have his summer schedule approved by the appropriate Dean
prior to enrollment in the other college if his summer work is to be
credited toward graduation from Wilkes College.

2. When credits for the work taken in the summer at another college
are requested at Wilkes, it will be necessary for this work to be
evaluated. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take
examinations before credit is granted.
3. A student from another college who wishes to take summer work
at Wilkes must secure the approval of the proper officer of his own
institution if he expects to receive credit for such work.
EXPENSES

The flat tuition rate adopted by the College enables a student to gain
an education in most of the curricula outlined in the catalogue at the
rate of $250.00 a semester for tuition, provided the normal load of
semester hours as stated in the catalogue for each semester is not exceeded. An additional charge of $17 .00 will be made for each semester
hour in excess of the normal load.
The tuition of $250.00 includes a charge for maintaining student
activities.

�Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library is intended to obviate the one great factor in
occupational maladjustment of American youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting service provided not
only for seniors but for all classes in the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
culled from this raw material provide background information, which
is under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING

The College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
concerned with his progress with information about his abilities, interests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college
career to consult with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
progress or social and personal problems with which he needs help.
The Deans cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
with information and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the
student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.

�32

W ILKES COLLEGE

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
several days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules under
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acquainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, and
with as little faculty participation as possible, some of the problems
of college adjustment. By placing responsibility upon the student for
planning and conducting these discussions, the College encourages
clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
Students who are over the age of twenty-two or who have attended
another college for at least one term may be excused from the sixweek orientation course and from freshman regulations.
COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE

The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with personal problems. Students who desire such help may apply
directly to the Consultation Service staff for appointments. Interviews
with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential
basis.
New students or those who are unacquainted with this resource may be
referred to the Service by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, or any
other interested faculty member.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical applications rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters are studying life insurance problems

and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them
for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in chemistry may be available to small
industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.
PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College maintains a placement office in Hollenback Hall, South
Franklin Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment. More than one-third of the students
earn part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly helpful
to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is that of
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.
SPECTAL SERVICES

Accident and Sickness Insurance. Accident and sickness group insurance is required of all dormitory students, but is optional with day
students. The plans are described in material mailed to all applicants
upon admission to the College.
The accident policy provides reimbursement for expenses arising out
of any accident in which the student is involved during the entire college
year. Reimbursement is made up to $500.00 for each accident.
The sickness policy provides additional reimbursement for all expenses attendant upon any illness to which the student becomes subject during the college year. Under this coverage there is reimbursement up to $200.00 for each illness.
Broad in scope, the plan covers all the student's illnesses and accidents, regardless of how or where they may occur. Benefits under the
plan are paid in addition to benefits to which the student is entitled
under any personal policy or membership in any hospital association.
The fee for accident and sickness coverage is $25.00 payable at the
time of registration. It is underwritten by the Mutual Benefit Health

WILKES COLLEGE

and Accident Association of Omaha and is under the supervision of
Howell &amp; Jones, Inc., Wilkes-Barre.
Blue Cross. A student of the College may avail himself of Blue Cross
hos~italization coverage in the Wilkes College Student Group Plan at the
special_ rate o~ $1.40 a month (subject to adjustment). An application
for. this. service may be filed with the Comptroller at the time of
registration.
Lockers. The College provides a number of conveniently located
lockers for students who wish to safeguard their personal belongings.
A student may_ rent _one of the lockers at the rate of $1.00 a year, one
quarter of whICh will be refunded when he surrenders his key. The
fee is payable at registration.

Student Activities
The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic work alone.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities. Its meeting room is located on the third floor of Hollenback Hall.
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Approximately half of the weekly assembly programs given during
the academic year are planned and presented by students. The Assembly Committee, to which freshmen are elected each fall to replace members who have been graduated, assists the administration and student
organizations in arranging these programs and awards a trophy to the
group that presents the best program of the year.
DRAMATICS

Students interested in drama present several one-act plays and two
major productions each year. The students are given training in the
arts of the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and
stage lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at athletic events and gives concerts throughout
the year.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

a

The College maintains mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.

�36

WILKES COLLEGE

The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
ORCHESTRA

The Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
aegis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three symphony concerts annually. Membership in the orchestra is open to talented
instrumentalists in the student body.
MADRIGAL SINGERS

This small group specializes in the madrigal works of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century European composers. Its Christmas program is one
of the most attractive features of the Town &amp; Gown Concert Series at
the College.

Scholarships and A wards
Scholarships are awarded each year to entering students of outstanding ability and to students of high achievement who require
assistance that they may complete their college work.
To retain their scholarships, winners must remain in good scholastic
standing, must carry a full schedule of studies, and must conduct
themselves in a manner creditable to themselves and to the College.
Scholarships may not be used as an initial payment, but they are
accepted for the final balance of each term. A scholarship student
who withdraws during the term cancels his scholarship arrangements
with the College.
TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

PUBLICATIONS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those interested in
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to join
the staffs.
DEBATING

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Colleges within the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate
sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every
man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, touch football, volleyball,
and bowling are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, basketball, and softball.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
be easily adapted to current interests.

Competitive scholarships are offered each year to students from the
first quarter of their high school class who make outstanding records
on the scholarship examinations given at the College on the last Saturday in April. All participants in this competition must apply for
admission to the College prior to the date of the examination.
Leadership scholarships are offered to young men and women who
have combined leadership in student activities with high scholastic
achievement. Students seeking these scholarships must apply for admission a week before the scholarship examinations which are offered

assisting students of outstanding scholastic ability who without assistance could not gain a college education.
Dickson Memorial Scholarships. Funds for four scholarships have
been given to the College by the Trustees of the Allan H. and Kate
P. Dickson Memorial Trust. These half-tuition scholarships will be
granted to students of high scholastic achievement and aptitude who
have also demonstrated leadership in student affairs during their high
school years.
The William H. Conyngham Memorial Scholarship is awarded
annually by Mrs. Conyngham in memory of her late husband, a friend

�Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in all fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally atomic research have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's.world has always been determined by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background in the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations_ Tl1e general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who enrolls for the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the social studies and choose
electives in English, literature, and other subjects useful in his future
work.
In engineering and in commerce and finance the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the liberal
arts program are required and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in engineering and in
commerce and finance will also prepare those who plan to teach these
subjects.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

�42

WILKES COLLEGE

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
CHEMISTRY

A steady demand for chemists and chemical engineers comes from
industry, government (including the Armed Forces), and education. The
variation in kinds of employment is extreme. In industry, the chemist
may be in basic or development research; in pilot plant work, production,
administration, sales, or personnel. Advanced study is encouraged by
the chemical industry; while teaching positions require the B.S. or doctorate degrees.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may trans£er their credits to other
engineering schools. With slight modification of their program, students
may complete the first two years of work in such additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining and metallurgical, and administrative.

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

43

LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college course
before beginning their specialized library training. Foreign languages,
English, science, history, economics, sociology, or education constitute
appropriate major fields. Many library schools also require a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency in typewriting is desirable.
MUSIC

The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may lead them to participate actively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have special
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or performers.
Although students who concentrate in music may commence their study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college training is very
desirable.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach music in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillment of the fundamental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living."
MEDICINE

JOURNALISM

A number of well-known graduate schools of journalism require a
preliminary four-year college course, but aspirants may also follow the
old-fashioned method of securing experience on local newspapers and
working their way up. Almost any type of college work will be found
applicable to the broad demands made upon the newspaper reporter and
editor, although English composition is fundamental.
The Bachelor of Arts degree with an English major is the most popular
choice of journalism students, but the science and other courses also
prove useful, since the newspaper reports all phases of human activity.
The increasing interests of the United States in other countries make a
knowledge of foreign languages particularly desirable in preparation for
responsible positions as foreign correspondents.
Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or
Manuscript.
LAW

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fundamental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a required major in undergraduate work.

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted to the requirements
of the various medical schools. The latter have, in recent years, restricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should determine as soon as
possible, though consultation with the Deans and their advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the requirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the
liberal arts course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses prepared to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In conseguence, schools of nursing and hospitals are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable graduates of approved schools
of nursing to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education.
A minimum of sixty-four college credits is needed to fulfill the requirements for the degree.

�45

WILKES COLLEGE

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

Extension courses in Nursing Education may be arranged by writing
to the Chairman of the Department of Nursing Education.
High School graduates desiring college experience before entering a
school of nursing may receive guidance in the selection of a program
suited to meet their individual needs.
The College maintains a cooperative relationship with local hospital
i.chools of nursing and provides instruction in the physical, biological
and social sciences.

dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.

44

PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, and industry.
SOCIAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in recent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distribution of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
agencies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
poverty, and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
supplemented by work in psychology, biology, and allied fields, provides
a valuable background.
SPEAKING .AND DR.AM.ATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and

TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For college and university work tbe best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take tbe Arts degree; students who expect
to teach in the schools of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or
degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification for public-school teaching is usually based on the following requirements: the college degree, specialized courses in education,
and a measure of specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is
authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare
elementary- and secondary-school teachers in most :fields of instruction.
PART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional training. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 141.)
Anyone interested in a career not included in this list of the major
professions and vocations should consult the Director of Admissions.

�Degree Courses
The basic requirements for degree courses are outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may be chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to meet the requirements for
graduation within each major program as conditions may require.

PURPOSE
The liberal arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
whid1 he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in art, mathematics or music choose their major when
they enter the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except biology,
chemistry, education, and physics. The requirements for each major are
specified in the section headed "Description of Courses" in the catalogue.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social- science major
requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social-science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
twenty hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. for that reason, a student preparing to teach social studies
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social-science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

WILKES COLLEGE

DEGREE COURSES

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN COMMERCE AND FINANCE

Wilkes College offers the first two years of work leading toward a major
in physics or in engineering physics. The need for men with this type of education was greatly emphasized by the many new problems which needed solution
during the recent conflict. The curriculum offers a firm grounding in the
fundamentals, without which further study cannot be continued profitably.
The course in physics prepares the student for industry, teaching, or research.

The commerce and finance curricula provide training for economic and
business activities supplemented by a study of the humanities, sciences, and
social sciences. Its objectives are to prepare the student for effective personal,
social, and economic life in a competitive society, to aid in the development
of an appreciation for cultural pursuits, to broaden the viewpoint, to develop
sound thinking and intellectual interests, and to provide technical instruction
in preparation for business and professional careers and graduate study.
To insure a well-balanced program faculty advisers assist each student in
the choice of his elective studies.
The commerce and finance curricula include four groups of study to meet
the individual needs and purposes of the students. These groups are: Group I,
Accounting; Group II, Business Administration; Group III, Retail Merchandising; Group IV, Secretarial Studies.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
Wilkes College offers the .first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
trans£ er to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette,
Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania State College, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University
of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interested in
mathematics and the natural sciences and in their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the student should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or
mechanical engineering.

2 Electives

may be selected from academic subjects (Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology) or Nursing Education courses with approval of the adviser.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer,

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in science, engineering, e onomics, business administratio~
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability but also economic and humanistic
interests, as well as character and personality. He must work with others
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
engineer deals with people as well as with machines and materials. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those primarily interested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future.

MEDICAL STENOGRAPHY

SECRETARIAL COURSE
The two-year intensive secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general education; to develop an understanding of business activities;
and to give specialized training for secretarial work.
The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the degree
Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Finance or toward that of Bachelor of
Science in Business Education when students desire to continue their education after completing their secretarial training.

Medical secretaries require special training so that they may have an intelligent understanding of their part in the work of a medical office. To provide
the essential background, the secretarial courses are supplemented by biology
and laboratory courses in chemistry and physiology. The courses in secretarial
accounting and office procedures are adapted to the needs of the students
preparing for work in the offices of physicians.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

PSYCHOLOGY
Instructor R. Riley, chairman; Assistant Professor Dominguez; Instructor Kanner.
A major in psychology consists of twenty-four hours. Psychology
100 is not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 is accepted.

The Department requires that psychology majors take one year of a
laboratory science; they may elect biology, chemistry, or physics and substitute this for either Biology 100 or Physics 100. Students planning to
take graduate work in psychology should study either French or German
in order to meet graduate school requirements.
The major in psychology is designed for students who plan to continue the study of psychology on the graduate level, as well as for those
whose interests lie in the teaching of psychology in colleges or in the
application of the study to such fields as advertising, clinical work, business, education, and industrial personnel work. Students are cautioned
that an undergraduate major in psychology does not qualify them for
professional psychological work. No student can qualify as a psychologist without advanced graduate study; in a great many fields today,
moreover, professional psychologists must hold the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy.
Students who desire certification by the Pennsylvania Department of
Public Instruction as psychological examiners or public sd1ool psychologists should carefully plan their programs under the direction of their
faculty advisers to preclude the possibility of omitting necessary courses.

The Evening Division
To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who

desire and need training to fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
disrnssion courses offered in various business fields.
5·. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be approved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College may
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

Special C01nmunity Lecture Series
As a community college, Wilkes feels obligated to
provide opportunities for adults to continue their education. It therefore offers, in the Evening Division, an
introductory program in adult education, from which
it believes positive good will result.
Community members who register for one of the
lecture courses in the series meet one evening a week
throughout the ten or fifteen weeks the course is in
session. They do not receive regular college credit.
Given each semester, the lectures cost considerably
less than the regular undergraduate courses at the
College.
The present program includes series in current events
and art for business and professional persons.
Further information concerning the program may be
secured from the Director of Admissions.

�A History of the College

T

o PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community in Pennsylvania, if
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experi- ·
mental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and
plans for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly
affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as such support was of
value to the new college At the same time, the responsibility originally assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred
to a local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future
needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and
by successive steps extended its program to include four years of work.
In 1946, the University offered extension courses enabling students to
finish their junior and senior years in Wilkes-Barre, and the College
Trustees expanded the facilities of the College and established an
endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied the requirements
of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in
June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
Early in World War II, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College
with the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were
quartered at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the regular college classes.
Although the war deterred the growth of the College for a time,
~he impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated
its development in the years immediately following the cessation of
hostilities. For several years after the war, veterans were a majority,
as in most colleges. Since September, 1948, however, they have been
outnumbered by non-veterans, who now comprise almost the entire
student body.
RECORD OF GROWTH

The .first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn

�18

WILKES COLLEGE

from the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three
years, the Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable the College to move from rented quarters into a permanent home. The response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the .first donors, and John N. Conyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given
in 1937, were dedicated by President Arnaud C. Marts of Bucknell
on April 9, 1938. Five hundred residents of the Valley contributed
to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allan Kirby's gift of the former residence of his
parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall provided the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from
quarters that were already overcrowded. The new building, named
the Kirby Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named
Isaac Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the
cause of the American Revolution; Zebulon Butler Hall, in honor of
the American patriot; and Gies Hall, in memory of Paul Gies, former
professor of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property,
Ashley Hall, was deeded to the College in 1946 by the heirs of the
Ashley estate, Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs.
Roccena Wolfe. In 1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the
College with the lot at the corner of South Franklin and South streets,
and later in the same year a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium, construction of which was completed in 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Pickering Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring;
Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of Colonel
Walter C. Sterling; and the President's residence was purchased with
funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
To provide adequate housing facilities for out-of-area women students, Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
gave his South River Street home to the College in 1951. Now called
McClintock Hall, the building, together with the ·other three College
residences, permits the accommodation of approximately one hundred
boarding students.
Generous monetary gifts enabled the College to adapt and equip
these properties for use as classroom buildings and dormitories. In
the thirteen years following the promise of autonomy by the University, College assets have been increased by more than $2,500,000.

General Information

WILKES COLLEGE
GENERAL lNFORMA TION

21

CURRICULA

The College offers courses leading to degrees in liberal arts, chemistry, biology, commerce and finance, and elementary, secondary, commercial music and nursing education. In addition, the first two years
are off~red in' physics and engineering; thereafter, the student who
successfully completes these courses may transfer to some other institution as a junior.
TERMINAL CURRICULA

To students who desire only two years of college the College offers
two-year terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial work, laboratory and medical technology, and pre-dental work.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension courses in education are offered by Bucknell University
for graduate credit. This credit may be applied toward the degr~e of
Master of Science and will also qualify the teacher for State certification in guidance and administration. Persons seeking the degree of
Master of Science from Bucknell University may take eighteen hours
in Wilkes-Barre but must take the remaining hours in residence at
Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania1 the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the University of the State of
New York.
ADMISSIONS

A student applying for admission to the College is requested to
arrange a personal interview with the Director of Admissions or the
Deans and to submit his application, accompanied by a $5.00 fee,
on forms provided by the College.

Interviews are a part of the admissions program and may be scheduled at the College. In the event that the home of the student is
some distance from the College, the Director of Admissions will
arrange an interview at a time and place that are mutually convenient.
During the interview, arrangements for taking admissions tests will
ordinarily be made. A student who has taken College Entrance Examination Board tests may submit the results of them and be excused
from the examination given by the College.
Following receipt of the application, the Director of Admissions
will obtain an official transcript from the high school or college formerly attended by the student. The Committee on Admissions will
then consider the full record of the applicant and will notify him of
its action as early as possible. Since it takes much time to assemble

all reports required by the committee, it is well to allow a minimum
of two weeks for action. In some instances, tardiness in the submission
of transcripts may delay action for a month or more.
ADVANCED STANDING

A student wishing to transfer from another college will follow the
usual procedure for admission. He will request the institution last
attended to forward to the College a transcript and a letter of honorable dismissal. The Committee on Advanced Standing will then make
a tentative evaluation, and a faculty adviser will counsel the student
concerning his new schedule. Upon the student's completion of his
tirst term at the College, a final evaluation will be made and the
credits included on his record at Wilkes.
Students who do not have credits to transfer but who are equipped
to enter advanced courses in college may do so upon the passing of a
placement examination. They will not receive credit for the courses
omitted, but they will be saved the necessity of repeating work which
they have already covered outside of college.
GRADES

Grades will be given to students in the middle and at the end of
each term. The mid-term grade is given to show student and faculty
the quality of work being done; the final grade indicates the accomplishment of the student in the whole course.
The grading system is as follows:
A-Excellent
B-Above average
C-Average
D-Below average, but passing
F-Failure
Inc-Incomplete-work must be made up by a speci.fied date or
the grade will automatically become an F.
WP-Withdrew Passing- given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are passing the course.
WP-Withdrew Failing- given to students who, at the time of
withdrawal, are failing the course.
T~e stude~t' s academic standing is determined by the quantity and
quality of h1s work. The quantity is shown by the number of credit
hotJrs of work performed during the term. The number of credit
hours applicable to each course is printed in italics following the title
of the course in the catalogue. The quality of work is shown by the
st
udent's point average, which is determined in the following manner:
The letter grades are given numerical values, called point values,
as follows: A, 3 points; B, 2 points; C, 1 point; D and F, no points.
st
A udent with a certain grade earns the point value of the grade for
each ci-edit hoM of the comse. Thus, if his grade is "A" in a three-

�WILKES COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION

hour course, he will gain 9 points; if " B'' in a four-hour course, he
will gain 8 points. His point average will be computed by dividing
the total number of points gained in all his courses by the total nwnber of credit hours. The following sample record will illustrate more
fully the method:

WILKES COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION

25

FACULTY

Inasmuch as the values to be derived from a college are less dependent upon its material resources than upon the character of its
teachers and the quality of their interest in its students, the College
has carefully selected its faculty for their training, experience, and
personalities. They have been granted graduate degrees by such universities and colleges as Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell University, Dickinson, Eastman School of Music, Louisiana State University,
McGill, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Northwestern, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State, Syracuse, Warsaw, Yale, and Zagreb.
A cosmopolitan group, Wilkes teachers have served in schools, colleges, and universities throughout the United States and Europe. They
bring to the College a breadth of experience and of vision that enables
them to treat their subjects in large perspective and an academic preparation that fits them to provide the intensive training essential to their
various fields.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Approximately forty per cent of the graduates of Wilkes have entered graduate and professional schools. It is recommended that
students wishing to extend their education beyond the Bachelor's degree take the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate
professional examination in their senior year. These examinations are
generally required by graduate and professional schools, and it is best
to take them at the end of the college course.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

1. Students wishing to study at other colleges during the summer

must receive approval of their summer schedules from the Dean of Men
or Dean of Women prior to their enrollment in the other colleges if
their summer work is to be credited toward graduation from Wilkes
College.
2. When credits for the work taken in the summer at other colleges
are requested at Wilkes, it will be necessary for this work to be
evaluated. In some cases it may be necessary for students to take
examinations before credit is granted.

3. Students from other colleges taking work at Wilkes College

during the summer likewise must first receive the approval of their
respective deans if they wish to receive credit for their summer work.
EXPENSES

The flat tuition rate adopted by the College enables a student to gain
an education in most of the curricula outlined in the catalogue at the
rate of $225.00 a semester for tuition, provided the normal load of
semester hours as stated in the catalogue for each semester is not ex-

ceeded. An additional charge of $15.00 will be made for each semester
hour in excess of the normal load.
The tuition of $225 includes a charge for maintaining student
activities.

PAYMENTS

Bills for tuition, fees, and incidentals are payable at the beginning

less, must be paid at the time of registration.
No students may take a mid-term examination until satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Comptroller for the payment of
all bills. No student may take a final examination until all financial obligations to the College have been satisfied.

CAREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library has taken its place on the campus because the
College recognizes its responsibility for helping a student to launch
his career with maximum effectiveness. The library is intended to
obviate the one great factor in occupational maladjustment of American
youth, namely, scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the
consulting service provided not only for seniors but for all classes in
the College.
A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established
and continues to maintain contact with representative industries and
professional associations throughout the country. From these primary
sources comes first-hand information on careers. Thousands of pages
culled from this raw material provide background information, which
is under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems
and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right vocational direction.
One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships,
and company training programs. Another has to do with careers from
a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines,
and professional periodicals are included in the collection as are some
six hundred catalogues and bulletins from more than five hundred
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement
but rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student
should have availed himself of this service.

WlTHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

COUNSELING

Refund of tuition will be made to students who withdraw voluntarily
from the College while in good standing under the following conditions:
During the first six weeks of a term, one-half the tuition will be
refunded upon request if the withdrawal is made for adequate and

~he College considers counseling one of the most effective ways in
which to encourage the development of its students. It considers each
st.udent's personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
his application so that, as far as possible, it can plan its academic
program to enable him to realize those objectives.
Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing
program, the purpose of which is to provide all of those who are
~oncerned with his progress with information about his abilities inerests, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college

�STUDENT WELFARE

WILKES COLLEGE

28

The guiding principle of all Wilkes counselin~ i~ ~o encourage t~e
student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist
him in making sound, independent decisions.
ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The transition from the directed work of the secondary school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College oc~asionally
causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early adjustment,
several days at the beginning of the term are set aside for discussions
with freshmen. This program ranges from individual conferences to
lectures on the meaning of a college education.
During this first week, new students take aptitude~ interest, _foreign
language, and English-placement tests. They also discuss their plans
and hopes with their faculty advisers and arrange schedules un~er
their guidance. The week also gives the new students an opportunity
to become acquainted with one another and to learn about student
activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet once a
week with representatives of the faculty. They discuss informally, and
with as little faculty participation as possible, some. of the pro?l~~s
of everyday living and college adjustment. By placing respons1b1hty
upon the student for planning and conducting these discussions,. the
College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.

29

offered by the Department of Music, and a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare them
for the examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able
to offer similar courses in economics, selling, and advertising; and it
is hoped that technical services in ~hemistry may be avail~ble_ to small
industries requiring laboratory serv1Ces that cannot be mamtamed economically in their industrial plants. The Economics Department of
Wilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.
PLACEMENT OFFICE AND STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The College, with the financial assistance of the Seligman J. Strauss
Lodge of B'nai B'rith, maintains a placement office in Ashley Hall,
South River Street. One purpose of the office is to help undergraduates to find part-time employment; more than one-third of the students
earn some part of their expenses, and the office has been particularly
helpful to this large group. Students desiring such part-time work
should communicate with the Director as early in the school year as
possible.
Another important service rendered by the Placement Office is
assisting the graduating student to find permanent employment in a
position suitable to his talents and training. Students who desire this
service should see the Director early in the senior year. The Office
will, moreover, be pleased to extend such assistance to any graduate
of the College.

SPECIAL INTERESTS

Many students have interests and abilities that lie outside the College
curricula. The College therefore supplements its academic program
with such activities as athletics, dramatics, debating, journalism, choral
work, and the work of departmental clubs. All are conducted b_y
students with the guidance of members of the faculty, and care 1s
taken to prevent their conflicting with the time needed for study.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers non·
credit programs for groups and organizations desiring spec~alized
training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires_ of
the sponsoring groups and emphasis is placed upon practical appl1Cations rather than theory.
Some idea of the services that are available may be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in drafting, mathematics, and engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters is studying life insurance problems
and policies to increase thei~ understa1:ding o_f the_ services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses m mus1Cal literature have been

CAREERS CONFERENCE

As a further step toward assisting a student to choose a career and
to find suitable employment, Wilkes College has instituted the Careers
Conference. Through the conference, students are enabled to hear
and to question leading industrialists and professional men, each
highly successful in his sphere and each representing a well-known
enterprise. The speakers address the whole group of students on matters of general interest, such as the following: how to apply for a
position; how to conduct oneself in an interview; what a business firm
looks for in a candidate for employment; education and the business
~orld. The conference then breaks up into smaller groups to con51der matters of specialized interest.
The value of the Conference to the students is that they hear matters of vital importance to them discussed by people who speak with
the aut~ority conferred by practical experience, personal distinction,
and active participation in great affairs.
For dates of meetings of the Careers Conference, see the calendar,
page 5.

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student Activities
The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They
supply values which cannot be realized through academic work alone.
Each student is encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
DRAMATICS

Students of the drama present several one-act plays and two major
productions each year. The students are given training in the arts of
the theatre: acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and stage
lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for major and experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band, organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at all athletic events and gives concerts throughout the year.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is provided for
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets once each week for the study of choral
literature covering various periods of music history and presents
several programs before the College community and the general public
each semester.
The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
ORCHESTRA

Under the aegis af the School of Music, the Wilkes-Barre Symphony
Orchestra is currently being reorganized. Membership in the orchestra
will be open to talented instrumentalists in the student body.

31

PUBLICATIONS

Amnicola, a yearbook; the Beacon, a newspaper; and Manuscript,
a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those interested in
writing, photography, art and advertising have an opportunity to join
the staffs.
DEBATING

Debating has proved particularly popular with students preparing
for the law or interested in public speaking. A number of intercollegiate debates are arranged each year.
ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, baseball,
basketball, golf, soccer, swimming and wrestling. Colleges within the
state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate sport for physical education if they meet departmental requirements.
A program of intramural sports and physical education gives every
man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, boxing, handball, volleyball, bowling, and table tennis are some of the sports available.
The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern;
bowling, tennis, basketball, and softball.
CLUBS

Special clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic .fields. These clubs, developed cooperatively
by students and faculty, are kept quite flexible in order that they may
be easily adapted to changing and current interests.

�SCHOLARSHIPS AND AW ARDS

Scholarships and Awards
Scholarships are awarded each year to entering students of outstanding ability and to students of high achievement who require
assistance that they may complete their college work.
To retain their scholarships, winners must remain in good scholastic
standing, must carry a full schedule of studies, and must conduct
themselves in a manner creditable to themselves and to the College.
Scholarships may not be used as an initial payment, but they are
accepted for the final balance of each term. A scholarship student
who withdraws during the term cancels his scholarship arrangements
with the College.
TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

Competitive scholarships are offered each year to students from the
first quarter of their high school class who make outstanding records
on the scholarship examinations given at the College on the last Saturday in April. All participants in this competition must apply for
admission to the College prior to the date of the examination.
Leadership scholarships are offered to young men and women who
have combined leadership in student activities with high scholastic
achievement. Students seeking these scholarships must apply for admission before April 20 and must take the examinations offered by
the College on the last Saturday in April.
Special Scholarships

Amnicola Scholarships. Each year the editor-in-chief of the yearbook is offered a full-tuition scholarship valued at $450. Tuition
scholarships of $100 are awarded to the business manager, assistant
editor, and picture editor of the publication.
Beacon Scholarships. The editor-in-chief of the College newspaper
is awarded an annual full-tuition scholarship worth $450. The business manager, the news editor, and the feature editor are awarded
tuition grants of $100 each.
William B. Schaeffer Memorial Scholarships. In 1951 a substantial bequest was left to the College by Mr. Schaeffer with the thought
that it would be used to advance the interests of the College and the
students. By action of the Board of Trustees a considerable portion of
the income from this bequest has been set aside for scholarships.
Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni has contributed funds to be used in assisting students of unusual promise and proved ability.
Mrs. Lewis H. Taylor left a bequest to the College for the assistance of worthy students. In appreciation of this gift the Board of
Trustees has set aside the income from the bequest to be used in

33

assisting students of outstanding scholastic ability who without assistance could not gain a college education.
AWARDS

Each year a number of awards are given for outstanding scholarship in selected fields.
The W. F. Dobson Award in Accounting is given annually to the
graduate who has made the most outstanding record in accounting
during his four years at the College.
The L. J. Van Laeys Award in f ournalism is given each year to the
graduate who has done the most creditable work in journalism courses.
The Engineering Award is given annually by Mr. Voris B. Hall,
head of the Department of Engineering, to the student whose achievement in the two-year engineering course is most outstanding.
The Mrs. fames McKane Awards of $25 each will be made in the
fall of 1952 to the man and woman in the junior class who have
ranked highest in their class throughout their first two years of college.

�PROFESSIONS A D VOCATIONS

35

Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in many fields, but they alone are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and .finally the atomic
bomb have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote; "Educated men are as much
superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background in the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The liberal arts and science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist who enrolls for the Bachelor
of Arts course may major in one of the social studies and choose
electives in English composition, literature, and other subjects useful
in his future work.

In engineering and in commerce and finance the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the liberal
arts program are required and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in engineering and in
commerce and finance are also adapted for those who plan to teach these
subjects.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most .fields of business is offered in the various
programs of the commerce and finance curricula.
The commerce and finance curricula cover business principles and
practices; they also include electives in liberal arts. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for a

business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.
(HE MISTRY

Modern industries offer many opportunities to the chemist and cl1Ct~ical engineer. Today, most large industries employ both chemists and
chemical engineers. In the smaller industries either may be called upon
to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories,
analyzing, studying, and perfecting procedures and developing new
processes, new methods and new uses. He meets the chemical engineer
in the pilot plant where together they design and construct, on a small
scale, the new manufacturing plant. The duties of the engineer may
include design, construction, or operation of the chemical plant. M~n1.gers of industrial and chemical plants need technical training, as do
salesmen for specialized products, buyers for manufacturing concerns,
employees in many fields of government service and other activities. The
chemical industries include coke, gas, dyes, gasoline, and other petroleum
products, rubber, textiles, explosives, cement, metallurgy, plastics, nylon,
paint~, ceramics, fertilizers, solvents, leather, drugs, light and heavy
~hem~cals and other substances. lastly this is an atomic age and to be an
mtell1gent modern, one can scarcely gain too great an understanding
of chemistry.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end. of ~he second year, students may trans£er their credits to other
engr~een~g schools if they make their plans in advance. With slight
mod1fica~1on of their program, students may complete the first two years
of work tn su~h additional types of engineering as aeronautical, mining
and metallurgical, and administrative.

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

WILKES COLLEGE

Journalism students may gain practical experience by working on the
staff of one of the student publications: the Beacon, Amnicola, or
Manusct'ipt.
LAW

Preparation for the practice of law is based on the fundamental liberal
arts: English, history, political science, economics, sociology, natural
science, languages, and mathematics. Most law schools do not specify
a required major in undergraduate work.
LIBRARY WORK

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college course
before beginning their specialized library training. Foreign languages,
English, science, history, economics, sociology, or education constitute
appropriate major fields. Many library schools also require a knowledge
of two foreign languages. Proficiency in typewriting is desirable.
MUSIC

The aim of the Wilkes music curricula is two-fold: to interest the
many in music as an avocation that may lead them to participate actively in musical organizations and to assist the few who have special
talents along the road to professional careers as teachers or performers.
Although students who concentrate in music may commence their study
of applied music at Wilkes, high quality pre-college training is very
desirable.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education fully equips students to obtain certificates to teach music in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in music represents the fulfillment of the fundamental purpose
of the liberal arts program, "an education for living."
MEDICINE

Wilkes offers a pre-medical course that is adapted to the requirements
of the various medical schools. The latter have, in recent years, restricted their enrollment, and most of them scrutinize closely the qualifications of applicants. Medical aspirants should determine as soon as
possible, though consultation with the Deans and their advisers, exactly
what demands they must meet.
MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the requirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the
liberal arts course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.

37

NURSING

The demand for nurses trained to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In consequence, schools of nursing and_ hospitals. are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable persons interested 10 such a
career to obtain the necessary training, the College offers a course leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. In this
five-year program three years of hospital training are combined with
at least two years of college study. Although the catalogue suggests
that the two years of college training follow the undergraduate program
in the hospitals, it is possible to reverse this order if such a reversal
seems best for the student.
PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized or understood. The tools of communications, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
application of the fundamental laws of physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
psychology in many diversified fields. Since then, the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
soun? foundation in psychology, biology, sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
O~portunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work education business and industry.

SOCIAL WORK

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously in re~en~ years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard distriutio~ of charity as a matter of political patronage. Governmental
a?encies, municipal, county, state, and federal, are realizing the necessity for a professional approach to the problems of unemployment,
;ove~, and crime. Wilkes offers a pre-social-work program. Sociology,
a;) emblented by work in psychology, biology, and allied fields, provides
a ua e background.

WILKES COLLEGE

SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and
dramatics and practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.
TEACHING

A teacher's training depends upon the kind of teaching contemplated.
For college and university work the best institutions require advanced
degrees; their faculty members ordinarily take graduate work in the field
in which they concentrated as undergraduates. Prospective teachers of
English, history, sociology, take the Arts degree; teachers in the schools
of science take the Bachelor of Science degree or degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification for public school teaching is usually based on the following requirements: the college degree, specialized courses in education,
and some specialization in teaching subjects. Wilkes College is authorized by the State Department of Public Instruction to prepare elementary
and secondary teachers in most fields of high school instruction.
PART-TIME STUDY

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional training. It is sometimes practicable for employed persons to continue their
education without giving up their positions. In its desire to be of the
widest possible service to Wyoming Valley, Wilkes welcomes part-time
and special students. (See Evening Division, page 136.)
Anyone interested in some special opening not included in this list
of the major professions and vocations should consult the Director of
Admissions.

Degree Courses
The basic requirements for degree courses are outlined on the following pages. All courses listed are required. Electives may be chosen to
satisfy the interests of the students and to meet the requirements for
graduation within each major program as conditions may require.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS IN SEMESTER HOURS
FOR
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The liberal arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills. It is expected, however, that ability
in expression and interpretation will be developed.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students wishing to
major in mathematics or music must choose their major when they enter
the College. The attention of students wishing to major in psychology is
drawn to note 1, page 42.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except biology,
chemistry, education, and physics. The requirements for each major are
specified preceding the description of courses.
A major may also be taken in social science. The social science major
requires a total of 36 hours in economics, history, political science, and
sociology; 18 hours must be taken in one of these and at least 6 hours in
each of the other three. Social science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
cwency hours in education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirements
mentioned above. Hence, a student preparing to teach social studies in the
public schools will receive credit toward the social science major for all
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology.

WILKES COLLEGE

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION
The curricula in education are designed to equip students for teaching in
elementary or secondary schools. They seek to combine specialization in education and in teaching subjects with a broad general background in the
humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences. To this end a program of
general educationrrecedes and parallels basic training in the principles, the?ry,
and philosophy o education and in the techniques and methods of teaching.
It is fundamental that the prospective teacher should be intimately acquainted
with his chosen subjects of instruction.
The student preparing for elementary school teaching should elect a broad
range of academic subjects, emphasizing the sciences, the social studies, and
English. The student preparing for seco~dary school te~ching shou!d. elect
a minimum of 24 semester hours in his maJor field of teaching and a mm1mum
of 18 hours in at least one additional field. In these elections consideration
should be given not only to the interests of the student, ~ut also to ~h_e provision of a combination of subjects which will enhance his opportunities for
employment.
The programs of study are planned for certification in Pennsylvania but may
be modified if certification is desired in other states. The student should consult the Department of Education regarding certification requirements of a
particular state.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN COMMERCE AND FINANCE

Wilkes College offers the first two years of work leading toward a major
in physics or in engineering physics. The need for men with this type of education was greatly emphasized by the many new problems which need:d so_lution
during the recent conflict. The curriculum offers a firm groundmg m the
fundamentals, without which further study cannot be conti?-ued profitably.
The course in physics prepares the student for industry, teaching, or research.

The commerce and finance curricula provide training for economic and
business activities supplemented by a study of the humanities, sciences, and
social sciences. Its objectives are to prepare the student for effective personal,
social, and economic life in a competitive society, to aid in the development
of an appreciation for cultural pursuits, to broaden the viewpoint, to develop
sound thinking and intellectual interests, and to provide technical instruction
in preparation for business and professional careers and graduate study.
To insure a well-balanced program faculty advisers assist each student in
the choice of his elective studies.
The commerce and finance curricula include four groups of study to meet
the individual needs and purposes of the students. These groups are: Group I,
Accounting; Group II, Business Administration; Group III, Retail Merchandising; Group IV, Secretarial Studies.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING

Major in Secretarial Studies

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed their
work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania
State College, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interestea in
mathematics, the natural sciences and their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must
take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester. For this reason
the _stud~nt should decide by the middle of the first year between chemical
engmeermg and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula
change further at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student
should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or
mechanical engineering.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is basic for the study of aeronautical engineering.
Therefore, the first two years in mechanical engineering prepare the student
for the advanced work offered by several universities.

To~ay near.ly eve:y ac~ivity of civ~lized life depends upon electricity. The
electnc~l engm~er 1s tramed to design, construct, and operate all electrical
generatmg eqmpment. He must supervise and control the distribution of
electricity for driving the machinery in mills, factories, and mines; for electric
railways, chemical processing, heating, lighting, and for all electrical devices
used in the home.
The communications field, including telegraph, telephone, radio, radar,
teletype, transmission of print and pictures, offers numerous opportunities.
Development of electronic tubes, circuits, and equipment for commercial processes offers opportunities in many fields of endeavor.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development or sales engineer.

The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
met.hods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in s~ience, engineering, economics, business administration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
possess not only technical skill and ability but also economic and humanistic
mtrest~' as well as character and personality. He must work with others
:~ . enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industrial
·ne!r deals with people as well as with machines and materials. This
in t~~uai:,. 0 !fers _the first two years of work for those primarily interested

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installa•
tion, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life and how its
development and expansion affect our future .

PSYCHOLOGY
Assistant Professor Dominguez, chairman; Instructors Boyle, Guttman, Harker*, Kanner*, Kelly, and R. Riley.
A major in psychology consists of twenty-four hours in this field.
Psychology 100 is not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 is accepted.
The Department requires that psychology majors take one year of a
laboratory science; they may elect biology, chemistry, or physics. Students
planning to take graduate work in psychology must study either French
or German in order to meet graduate school requirements.
The major in psychology is designed for students who plan to continue the study of psychology on the graduate level, as well as for those
whose interests lie in the teaching of psychology in colleges or in the
application of the study to such fields as advertising, clinical work, business, education, and industrial personnel work. Students are cautioned
that an undergraduate major in psychology does not qualify them for
professional psychological work. No student can qualify as a psychologist without advanced graduate study; in a great many fields today,
moreover, professional psychologists must hold the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy.
Students who desire certification by the Pennsylvania Department of
Public Instruction as psychological examiners or public school psychol~·
gists should carefully plan their programs under the direction of thetr
faculty advisers to preclude the possibility of omitting necessary courses.

�The Evening Division

SPECIAL COMMUNITY LECTURE SERIES
137

To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
I. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who

desire and need training to fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and
training for work in a new field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
disrnssion courses offered in various business fields.
5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and

aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon such a student's completion of thirty semester hours, his
high school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at his request, and he may then be registered as a degree candidate.
No student, however, may expect to count toward an undergraduate
degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have .first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is q_uali
fied to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register fo~
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this regulation must be ap·
proved by the Deans.
Whenever a student's record of achievement indicates that he is not
obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study, the College ma}'
request that he withdraw from the Evening Division.

Special Community Lecture Series
As a community college, Wilkes feels obligated to
provide opportunities for adults to continue their education. It therefore offers, in the Evening Division, an
introductory program in adult education, from which
it believes positive good will result.
Community members who register for one of the
lecture courses in the series meet one evening a week
throughout the ten weeks the course is in session. They
do not receive regular college credit.
Given each semester, the lectures cost considerably
less than the regular undergraduate courses at the
College. The fee charged each person enrolled in one
of the courses is $10 a semester.
The present program includes lecture courses in current events, contemporary literature, and selected topics
on modern psychiatry.
Further information concerning the program may be
secured from the Director of Admissions.

WILKES-BARRE

�Marks of An Educated Man . . .
1.

He seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding, and
without understanding the problems that separate us are insoluble.

2.

He is able to communicate ideas in a manner that assures understanding.

3. He has faith in man. He respects differences because he knows how
they have come to be. He fears uniformity because it confines both
mind and spirit. He is aware of his own limitations and his neighbor's
possibilities.
4.

He possesses visron, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

5. He cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich

his daily living and sustain him in times of crises.
6. He has ethical standards by which he lives.
7.

He is aware of the human struggle for progress and comprehends the
forces that have assured or jeopardized this progress. He knows that
man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical stamina.

8. He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen, and participates

constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community.

..lby other communities of the nation, Bucknell University,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre
Wyoming Valley were the largest community in Pennsylvania,
the United States, lacking a local college.

in 1933,
Bucknell
and the
if not in

For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and plans
for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were .firmly established, but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as this support was of value
to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally
assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred to a
local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future needs
and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and by
successive steps extended its program to include four years of work. In
1946, the University offered extension courses in Wilkes-Barre enabling
students to finish their Junior and Senior years at Wilkes-Barre. At the
same time, the College trustees expanded the facilities of the College and
established an endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied
the requirements of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes
College in June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
World War II deterred the growth of the College for a period of
years, but the impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated its development in the years immediately following the cessation
of hostilities. Early in the war, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College with
the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were quartered
at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the
regular college classes. For several years following the war, veterans
Were a majority, as in most colleges. Since September, 1948, however,
they have been outnumbered by non-veterans, and their numbers will
continue to diminish during the next two or three years.
During the years in which the College offered only two years of study,
gra~u_ates transferred to more than I 00 four-year colleges and universities; in two-thirds of these colleges they made records superior to

WILKES COLLEGE

those earned at Bucknell University Junior College. At present, only
two classes have been graduated, but a surprising number of graduates
have entered graduate and professional schools. Present reports show
that more than 37 percent of the graduates are continuing their studies
beyond the baccalaureate degree.
RECORD OF GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn from
the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three years, the
Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable
the College to move from rented quarters into a permanent home. The
response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Coyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given in
1937, were dedicated by President Marts on April 9, 1938. Five hundred
residents of the Valley contributed to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allen Kirby's gift, of the former residence of his parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall, provided
the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from quarters
that were already overcrowded. The new building, named the Kirby
Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named Isaac
Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the cause of
the American Revolution, Zebulon Butler Hall in honor of the American
patriot, and Gies Hall, named in memory of Paul Gies, former professor
of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property, Ashley Hall,
was deeded to the College in 1946, by the heirs of the Ashley estate,
Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Roccena Wolfe. In
1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the College with the lot at the
corner of South Franklin and South Streets, and later in the same year
a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium,
the construction of which is planned for 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Picke_ring Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring; and in
December, Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of
Colonel Walter C. Sterling, and the President's residence was purchased
with funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
Monetary gifts paralleled these other gifts and purchases, and per·
th
mitted the equipping, adaptation, and erection of new buildings. In e
eleven years following the promise of autonomy by the University, assets
have been increased by more than 2,000,000.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CURRICULA

The College offers courses leading to degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry, Biology, and Commerce and Finance. In addition, the first two
years are offered in Physics and Engineering; thereafter, the student who
successfully completes these courses may transfer to some other institution as a Junior.
TERMINAL CURRICULA

To students who desire only two years of college or who are unable
to make arrangements for a four-year college course, the College offers
two-year terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial
work, radio production, and laboratory-technician training.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension courses from Bucknell University are offered for both undergraduate and graduate credit. Selected courses have been offered in the
evening during the past ten years, and now courses are being offered
through which students may obtain a special training or credit toward
a degree. Persons seeking a Master's degree from Bucknell University
may take six hours in Wilkes-Barre, but must take the remaining hours
in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction
of the State of Pennsylvania, and by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Liberal Arts and Science Programs
are also approved by the University of the State of New York.
ADMISSIONS

Students applying for admission to the College are requested to arrange a personal interview with the Director of Admissions or the Deans,
and to submit their application, accompanied by a 5.00 fee, on forms
provided by the College.
Interviews are a part of the admissions program and may be scheduled
at the College. In the event the home of the student is some dista?ce
from the College, the Director of Admissions will arrange an inter~1ew
at a time and place that are mutually convenient. During the interview,
arrangements for taking admissions tests will ordinarily be made. Ho~ever, a student who has taken "College Board Examinations" may subaut
these results in place of the examination ordinarily given by the Colleg_e.
Following receipt of the application the Director of Admissions wil~
obtain an official transcript from the high school or college f?rmerly
attended by the student. Upon receipt of this record the Comr~11ttee
Admissions will consider the full record of the applicant and will nott Y
the applicant as early as possible. It takes much time, however, to as-

REGISTRATION

Students are expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. late registrations may be accepted
for two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no registrations will be accepted. Students registering after the "registration dates"
will pay an additional charge of $S.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered
by the tuition charge of $225 per semester is indicated in the program
of courses. Any student taking a load beyond that which is recommended
must maintain at least a "B" average and must pay for each additional
hour at the usual hourly rate.
ATTENDANCE

Attendance at all classes is taken for granted and repeated absence is
deemed a sufficient cause for failure.
Satisfaction of the requirements for attendance at assemblies is also
expected. Failure to meet these requirements may lead to the withholding of all credit.
FACULTY

The value to be derived from a college is less dependent upon material
equipment than upon the character of its teachers and the quality of their
interest in the students. The faculty of the College have been carefully
selected for their training, experience and personalities. They have
been granted degrees by forty colleges and universities in the United
States, Canada, and Europe: Alabama, Boston University, Bryn Mawr,
Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Comenius, Cornell, Cracow, Delaware,
Dickinson, Duke, Harvard, Hunter, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
New England Conservatory of Music, New Rochelle, New York, North
Carolina, Northwestern, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania State, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee State,
Warsaw, Washington and lee, Western Reserve, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Yale, Zagreb. A cosmopolitan group, they have taught in schools and
universities throughout the United States and Europe, and their travels
have taken them to all parts of the world. They bring to the College
a breadth of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their
subjects in large perspective, and they bring an academic preparation
that

The Guidance Center of the College, which was set up in April, 194.5,
offers its services to veterans seeking entitlement under the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act and "G. I. Bill." A staff of experienced Vocational
Counselors and a Testing Department, headed by a clinical psychologist,
are on hand five days a week to help veterans and students explore their
backgrounds, capacities, interests, and general qualifications for the
purpose of developing or forwarding a vocational plan.

CAREERS

LIBRARY

The Careers Library has taken its place on the campus because the
College recognizes its responsibility for helping a student to launch his
career with maximum effectiveness. The library is intended to obviate
the one great factor in occupational maladjustment of American youth,
namely scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting
service which is provided not only for Seniors but for all classes in the
College. A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established and continues to maintain contact with representative industries
and professional associations throughout the country. From these
primary sources comes first hand information on careers. Thousands of
pages culled from this raw material provide background information,
and are under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right
vocational direction. One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships, and company training programs. Another has to do
with careers from a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines, and professional periodicals are a feature. In the
library there are some 600 catalogs and bulletins from more than .500
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional

bel.

The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement but
rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student should
have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING
. Counseling at Wilkes College is considered to be one of the most
nportant
ways in which we are able to help in the development and
0
~r wth of the student. Each student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives are considered at the time of application, so that, insofar
as ~ossible, the academic program can be planned to enable him to
realize these objectives.

During the first term the Freshman class is divided into small sections
which meet once a week with a representative of the faculty. These
groups discuss informally, and with as little faculty participation as possible, some of the problems of every day living and college adjustment.
By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and conducting
these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise,
and breadth of view.
SPECIAL INTERESTS

Many students have interests and abilities that lie outside the .field of
studies. Activities supplementing the academic program provide opportunities for the expression and development of interests and talents in
such recreational and semi-professional fields as athletics, dramatics, debating, journalism, and choral work. Special clubs include Economics,
Pre-Medical, Engineering, Debating, French, German, Spanish, International Relations, Psychology, Sociology, Cue 'n' Curtain, lettermen's,
Literary, etc. All are conducted by students with the guidance of a member of the faculty, and care is taken to prevent their conflicting with the
time needed for study.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of the
sponsoring group, and emphasis is placed upon practical applications
rather than theory.
The character and extent of such work may be determined by means
of a job analysis, thus assuring the practicability of the work. Some
idea of the services that are available can be gained from a statement of
services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in Drafting, Mathematics, and Engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters is studying Life Insurance problems
and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music. Also, a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare for the
examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able to
offer similar courses in Economics, Selling and Advertising; and it is
hoped that technical services in Chemistry may be available to small industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained eco;?1ically in their industrial plants. The Economics department of
ilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.

�Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in many iields, but they are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally the atomic
bomb have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world, and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.

Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
nperior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by bis understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background of the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offurs two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The Liberal Arts and Science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist may enroll for the Bachelor
of Arts course; he may major in one of the Social Studies and choose
electives in English composition, literature, and other subjects useful
in his future work.
In Engineering, and in Commerce and Finance, the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the Liberal
Arts program are required, and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the Engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization, even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in Engineering and in
Commerce and Finance are also adapted for those who plan to teach these
subjects.

CHEMISTRY

Modem industries offer many opportunities to the chemist and chemical engineer. Today, most large industries employ both chemists and
chemical engineers. In the smaller industries either may be called upon
to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories,
analysing, studying, and perfecting procedures and developing new
processes, new methods and new uses. He meets the chemical engineer
in the pilot plant where together they design and construct, on a small
scale, the new manufacturing plant. The duties of the engineer may
include design, construction, or operation of the chemical plant. Managers of industrial and chemical plants need technical training, as do
salesmen for specialized products, buyers for manufacturing concerns,
employees in many fields of government service and other activities. The
chemical industries include coke, gas, dyes, gasoline, and other petroleum
products, rubber, textiles, explosives, cement, metallurgy, plastics, nylon,
paints, ceramics, fertilizers, solvents, leather, drugs, light and heavy
chemicals and other substances. Last, this is an atomic age and to be an
intelligent modem, one can scarcely gain too great an understanding
of chemistry.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools if they make their plans in advance. With slight
modification of their program, students may complete the first two years
of work in such additional types of Engineering as aeronautical, mining
and metallurgical, and administrative.
Two years of the engineering curriculum afford a foundation fo~ a
wide range of occupations. Students desiring such technological tram·

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The student should learn the requirements of his
denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the Liberal Arts
course, with major or electives in Religion and Bible, is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses with college training has increased with the
progress of medical science and the wide adoption of highly skilled
scientific techniques. A number of hospitals and universities now offer
three years of training with a Bachelor of Science degree to student
nurses who have completed two years of college. For those who wish
to make a life work of nursing, and who aspire to administrative positions in the major hospitals, this course is recommended.
Demand for extended training has been further accelerated by the
recent expansion of health services in Federal Agencies and by increased
governmental support to medical programs.
PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of Physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized nor understood. The tools of communication, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
employment of the fundamental laws of Physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
Psychology in many diversified fields. Since then, the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal Arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in Psychology, Biology, Sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, industry and personnel.

Student Activities
P UB LICATIONS

The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They supply
values which cannot be developed through academic work alone. All
students are encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
DRAMATICS

Students of the drama present several one-act plays, and two major
productions each year. The students are given training in the arts of
the theatre, acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and stage
lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for major and experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band is organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at all athletic events, and gives concerts throughout the year.
.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is distributed to
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly
supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets three times each week for the study of
choral literature covering various periods of music history. Several
programs are presented each semester before the College community and
the general public.
The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
COLLEGE ORCHESTRA

All sl:udents interested in forming an orchestra should consult. wi~h
the director of the School of Music. The College is eager to assist 10
the development of instrumental music and an orchestral society will be
organized as soon as student interest and abilities are discovered on the
campus.

�College Curricula
The curricula include courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degrees, and a number of shorter programs requiring only two or three years of college training.
The degree courses include four-year programs in the Liberal Arts,
Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Education, and two-year
programs in Physics, Engineering, and Music Education. Students completing these two-year programs satisfactorily may transfer credits for
their first two years of work to selected colleges offering degrees in these
three fields of study.
The two- and three-year programs lead to no degree but do give
professional, semi-professional, and technical training required in a
number of occupations. Among the occupations which may require two
or three years of college background are dentistry, chiropractic, osteopathy, medical technology, laboratory technology, secretarial work for
business and medicine, music, and radio.
Special programs may be arranged for persons wishing to select
courses that will satisfy individual interests or needs.

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The Liberal Arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills. It is expected, however, that ability
in expression and interpretation will be developed.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

Major Subject

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is_desirable that a ma1or be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that 1t _be
elected before the beginning of the Junior year. Students wishing to maJor
in Biology, Mathematics, or Music must choose their major when they enter
the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except Chemistry,
Education, and Physics. The requirements for each major are specified preceding the description of courses.
A major may also be taken in Social Science. The Social Science major
requires a total of 36 hours in Economics, History, Political Scier:ce, and
Sociology. Eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social Science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to _take twen~}'
hours in Education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible for t e
prospective teacher of Social Studies to satisfy all of the above requiremen~f
Hence, a student preparing to teach Social Studies in the public schools w~o
1
receive credit toward the Social Science major for all required courses
Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION
.

Secondary
This course in Education is intended to prepare students for teaching in the
Secondary Schools. The required course will enable the student to obtain
certification in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As the requirements vary
from state to state, it will be necessary for students wishing to teach in other
states to satisfy the special requirements of the state by electing the required
subjects.
To attain proficiency in the subject which the student wishes to teach, it will
be necessary to elect a minimum of 24 hours in that subject. In addition, the
student should take a minimum of 18 hours in at least one additional field. By
following this plan each student can meet the minimum requirements for
teaching in at least two fields. Careful consideration should be given to the
combination of teaching subjects that are of greatest interest to the student and
which, at the same time, will give the !::est opportunity for employment.

MAJOR IN SECRETARIAL STIJDIES

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the Engineering curriculum.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the Junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed, their
work at such representative colleges as: Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania
State College, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interested in
Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and their application.

The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
Research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needai to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.

During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception that Chemical Engineering students must take two additional hours more Chemistry in the second term. For this reason the student
should decide by the middle of the first year between Chemical Engineering
and one of the other branches of Engineering. The curricula change further
at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student should decide
by then whether he will pursue Civil, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical
Engineering.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical Engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all Chemical Engineering. The training of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of Chemical, Mechanical, and Electrical
Engineering as will make him a competent development or sales engineer.

The civil engineer deals with problems in structural, highway, railroad,
hydraulic, and sanitary engineering, and also with surveying and geodesy. He
specializes in the design, construction and maintenance of bridges, tunnels,
dams, and the structural members of buildings. His services are indispensable
in the design of river, canal, and harbor improvements; in the development
and control of water resources; in the treatment and disposal of sewage ~od
industrial waste; and in the location and construction of all transportat10n
facilities.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence and result of his profession upon our way of life
and how its development and expansion affect our future.

The two-year intensive secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general education; to develop an understanding of business activities;
and to give specialized training for secretarial work.
The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the Bachelor
of Science Degree in Commerce and Finance when students desire to continue
their education after completing their secretarial training. The flexibility of
the program leading to this degree permits students to elect a 24-hour sequence
either in commerce and finan ce or in another field of study, according to the
interests and objectives of each student.

his own bodily safety; but it must not be assumed that that interest is
always active. Ways will be discussed to arouse and develop the interest
that lies dormant; or is covered up by bad habits of attention, emotion
and maladjustment to life; or is not sufficient to safeguard the individual
because he is of low-grade intelligence, lacks knowledge, or has not been
properly trained.

The Evening Division

SAFETY EDUCATION-

Discussion and demonstration of practical values in visual and other
sensory aids; standards for appraising and their relationship to the curriculum; guiding principles and techniques; minimum equipment and
sources; housing and distribution.

To meet the needs of ambitious men and women, who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1.

Those employed in business or governmental organizations who
desire and need training to fit them for advancement.

2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new field.

3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business fields .
5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon comple6on of thirty semester hours, the student's high
school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at
the request of the student, and he may then be &lt;egistered as a degree
candidate. However, no student may expect to count toward an undergraduate degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is gua!i.
fied to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishEs to regisc.::r.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this must be approved by th,
Deans.
ATTENDA CE

Attendance at evening classes may be discontinued whenever the
record of achievement indicates that the person is nor obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study.

Index
lecture Courses
In its role as a community college, Wilkes believes that
positive good will result from the continuing education of
adults. Toward that end, an introductory program in adult
education is being offered in the Evening Division .
These non-credit courses will meet one night each week
for ten weeks during the semester.
The charge for these non-credit courses is considerably
less than that of the regular undergraduate courses. Each
person will pay $10 per course per semester.
Courses to be offered during the regular college year of
1951-52 will be announced during the summer.
Further information about this Non-Credit Program may
be obtained by contacting the Director of Admissions.

�Marks of An Educated Man . . .
1.

He seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding, and
without understanding the problems that separate us are insoluble.

2.

He is able to communicate ideas in a manner that assures understanding.

3. He has faith in man. He respects differences because he knows how
they have come to be. He fears uniformity because it confines both
mind and spirit. He is aware of his own limitations and his neighbor's
possibilities.
4.

He possesses visron, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

5. He cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich

his daily living and sustain him in times of crises.
6. He has ethical standards by which he lives.
7.

He is aware of the human struggle for progress and comprehends the
forces that have assured or jeopardized this progress. He knows that
man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical stamina.

8. He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen, and participates

constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community.

..lby other communities of the nation, Bucknell University,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre
Wyoming Valley were the largest community in Pennsylvania,
the United States, lacking a local college.

in 1933,
Bucknell
and the
if not in

For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and plans
for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were .firmly established, but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as this support was of value
to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally
assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred to a
local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future needs
and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Under this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and by
successive steps extended its program to include four years of work. In
1946, the University offered extension courses in Wilkes-Barre enabling
students to finish their Junior and Senior years at Wilkes-Barre. At the
same time, the College trustees expanded the facilities of the College and
established an endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied
the requirements of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes
College in June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
World War II deterred the growth of the College for a period of
years, but the impetus to education resulting from war experiences accelerated its development in the years immediately following the cessation
of hostilities. Early in the war, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
contingent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College with
the Sixth College Training Detachment. These cadets were quartered
at the Hotel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the
regular college classes. For several years following the war, veterans
Were a majority, as in most colleges. Since September, 1948, however,
they have been outnumbered by non-veterans, and their numbers will
continue to diminish during the next two or three years.
During the years in which the College offered only two years of study,
gra~u_ates transferred to more than I 00 four-year colleges and universities; in two-thirds of these colleges they made records superior to

WILKES COLLEGE

those earned at Bucknell University Junior College. At present, only
two classes have been graduated, but a surprising number of graduates
have entered graduate and professional schools. Present reports show
that more than 37 percent of the graduates are continuing their studies
beyond the baccalaureate degree.
RECORD OF GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn from
the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three years, the
Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable
the College to move from rented quarters into a permanent home. The
response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Coyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given in
1937, were dedicated by President Marts on April 9, 1938. Five hundred
residents of the Valley contributed to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allen Kirby's gift, of the former residence of his parents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall, provided
the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from quarters
that were already overcrowded. The new building, named the Kirby
Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named Isaac
Barre Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the cause of
the American Revolution, Zebulon Butler Hall in honor of the American
patriot, and Gies Hall, named in memory of Paul Gies, former professor
of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property, Ashley Hall,
was deeded to the College in 1946, by the heirs of the Ashley estate,
Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Roccena Wolfe. In
1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the College with the lot at the
corner of South Franklin and South Streets, and later in the same year
a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a gymnasium,
the construction of which is planned for 1950.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy Picke_ring Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees in the spring; and in
December, Sterling Hall was left to the College through a bequest of
Colonel Walter C. Sterling, and the President's residence was purchased
with funds contributed specifically for that purpose by a friend of the
College.
Monetary gifts paralleled these other gifts and purchases, and per·
th
mitted the equipping, adaptation, and erection of new buildings. In e
eleven years following the promise of autonomy by the University, assets
have been increased by more than 2,000,000.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CURRICULA

The College offers courses leading to degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry, Biology, and Commerce and Finance. In addition, the first two
years are offered in Physics and Engineering; thereafter, the student who
successfully completes these courses may transfer to some other institution as a Junior.
TERMINAL CURRICULA

To students who desire only two years of college or who are unable
to make arrangements for a four-year college course, the College offers
two-year terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial
work, radio production, and laboratory-technician training.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension courses from Bucknell University are offered for both undergraduate and graduate credit. Selected courses have been offered in the
evening during the past ten years, and now courses are being offered
through which students may obtain a special training or credit toward
a degree. Persons seeking a Master's degree from Bucknell University
may take six hours in Wilkes-Barre, but must take the remaining hours
in residence at Lewisburg.
ACCREDITMENT

Wilkes College is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction
of the State of Pennsylvania, and by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Liberal Arts and Science Programs
are also approved by the University of the State of New York.
ADMISSIONS

Students applying for admission to the College are requested to arrange a personal interview with the Director of Admissions or the Deans,
and to submit their application, accompanied by a 5.00 fee, on forms
provided by the College.
Interviews are a part of the admissions program and may be scheduled
at the College. In the event the home of the student is some dista?ce
from the College, the Director of Admissions will arrange an inter~1ew
at a time and place that are mutually convenient. During the interview,
arrangements for taking admissions tests will ordinarily be made. Ho~ever, a student who has taken "College Board Examinations" may subaut
these results in place of the examination ordinarily given by the Colleg_e.
Following receipt of the application the Director of Admissions wil~
obtain an official transcript from the high school or college f?rmerly
attended by the student. Upon receipt of this record the Comr~11ttee
Admissions will consider the full record of the applicant and will nott Y
the applicant as early as possible. It takes much time, however, to as-

REGISTRATION

Students are expected to register at the beginning of each term on
the dates designated for this purpose. late registrations may be accepted
for two weeks following the beginning of classes; thereafter no registrations will be accepted. Students registering after the "registration dates"
will pay an additional charge of $S.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered
by the tuition charge of $225 per semester is indicated in the program
of courses. Any student taking a load beyond that which is recommended
must maintain at least a "B" average and must pay for each additional
hour at the usual hourly rate.
ATTENDANCE

Attendance at all classes is taken for granted and repeated absence is
deemed a sufficient cause for failure.
Satisfaction of the requirements for attendance at assemblies is also
expected. Failure to meet these requirements may lead to the withholding of all credit.
FACULTY

The value to be derived from a college is less dependent upon material
equipment than upon the character of its teachers and the quality of their
interest in the students. The faculty of the College have been carefully
selected for their training, experience and personalities. They have
been granted degrees by forty colleges and universities in the United
States, Canada, and Europe: Alabama, Boston University, Bryn Mawr,
Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Comenius, Cornell, Cracow, Delaware,
Dickinson, Duke, Harvard, Hunter, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
New England Conservatory of Music, New Rochelle, New York, North
Carolina, Northwestern, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania State, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee State,
Warsaw, Washington and lee, Western Reserve, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Yale, Zagreb. A cosmopolitan group, they have taught in schools and
universities throughout the United States and Europe, and their travels
have taken them to all parts of the world. They bring to the College
a breadth of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their
subjects in large perspective, and they bring an academic preparation
that
fields.fits them to give the intensive training essential to their various

Approximately forty percent of the Wilkes graduates have entered
graduate and professional schools. It is recommended that students
wishing to extend their education beyond the Bachelor's degree take
the Graduate Record Examination or another appropriate professional
examination in their Senior year. Th~.,e examinations are generally
required by graduate and professional schools and it is best to take them
at the end of the college course.

CAREERS

LIBRARY

The Careers Library has taken its place on the campus because the
College recognizes its responsibility for helping a student to launch his
career with maximum effectiveness. The library is intended to obviate
the one great factor in occupational maladjustment of American youth,
namely scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting
service which is provided not only for Seniors but for all classes in the
College. A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established and continues to maintain contact with representative industries
and professional associations throughout the country. From these
primary sources comes first hand information on careers. Thousands of
pages culled from this raw material provide background information,
and are under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right
vocational direction. One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships, and company training programs. Another has to do
with careers from a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, employee magazines, and professional periodicals are a feature. In the
library there are some 600 catalogs and bulletins from more than .500
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional

bel.

The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement but
rather with the way to a career. Long before graduation a student should
have availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING
. Counseling at Wilkes College is considered to be one of the most
nportant
ways in which we are able to help in the development and
0
~r wth of the student. Each student's personal, educational, and vocational objectives are considered at the time of application, so that, insofar
as ~ossible, the academic program can be planned to enable him to
realize these objectives.

During the first term the Freshman class is divided into small sections
which meet once a week with a representative of the faculty. These
groups discuss informally, and with as little faculty participation as possible, some of the problems of every day living and college adjustment.
By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and conducting
these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise,
and breadth of view.
SPECIAL INTERESTS

Many students have interests and abilities that lie outside the .field of
studies. Activities supplementing the academic program provide opportunities for the expression and development of interests and talents in
such recreational and semi-professional fields as athletics, dramatics, debating, journalism, and choral work. Special clubs include Economics,
Pre-Medical, Engineering, Debating, French, German, Spanish, International Relations, Psychology, Sociology, Cue 'n' Curtain, lettermen's,
Literary, etc. All are conducted by students with the guidance of a member of the faculty, and care is taken to prevent their conflicting with the
time needed for study.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In addition to its regular classes, the College occasionally offers noncredit programs for groups and organizations desiring specialized training. All such programs are adapted to the needs and desires of the
sponsoring group, and emphasis is placed upon practical applications
rather than theory.
The character and extent of such work may be determined by means
of a job analysis, thus assuring the practicability of the work. Some
idea of the services that are available can be gained from a statement of
services that already have been offered.
During the war, special courses in Drafting, Mathematics, and Engineering were offered to prepare persons for work in defense plants.
Currently, a group of underwriters is studying Life Insurance problems
and policies to increase their understanding of the services they sell.
Over a period of years, special courses in musical literature have been
offered by the Department of Music. Also, a refresher course has been
offered for chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania to prepare for the
examination given by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
As the College expands its faculty and facilities, it will be able to
offer similar courses in Economics, Selling and Advertising; and it is
hoped that technical services in Chemistry may be available to small industries requiring laboratory services that cannot be maintained eco;?1ically in their industrial plants. The Economics department of
ilkes College is engaged in research projects on a community basis.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A number of scholarships are available through the interest and
generosity of friends of the College. They are awarded to students who
rank in the upper quarter of their high school classes and who receive
the highest grades in competitive examinations.
Scholarship winners must remain in good standing in order to retain
the scholarship. The Deans will review the records of all scholarship
holders at the end of the academic year.
The William Hillard Conyngham Scholarship is awarded annually
by Mrs. Conyngham in memory of her husband, formerly a friend and
neighbor of the College, and for years an outstanding leader in business
and community life.
Competitive scholarships are offered each year to students from the
upper quarter of the high school class who make outstanding records
on the scholarship examinations given at the College on the last Saturday in April. All participants in this competition must apply for admission to the College prior to the date of the examination.
Leadership scholarships are offered to young men and women who
have combined leadership in student activities with high scholastic
achievement. Students seeking these scholarships must apply for admission before April 20, and must take the examinations offered by the
College on the last Saturday in April.
Scholarships may not be used as an initial payment, but they are accepted for the final balance of each term. A student who withdraws during the term cancels any scholarship arrangements.
The holder of a scholarship must take the full course that is scheduled
in the catalog in order to receive the funds that have been appropriated
to his account.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

More than one-third of the students earn some part of their College
expenses. Students desiring work should apply to the Director of Placement. A number of part-time jobs are available. Requests for student
help are frequently received from local business offices and referred to
the placement office.
PLACEMENT SERVICE

A placement office for students and graduates is located in the
Guidance Center. All students interested in obtaining employment are
requested to register in this office. Employers seeking students for part·
time employment are requested to make inquiries at this office.

�Preparation for Professions and Vocations
Training and skill are required in many iields, but they are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally the atomic

science and technology reduce the size of the world, and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.

Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
nperior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by bis understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background of the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offurs two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
The Liberal Arts and Science courses may be adapted to specific vocations by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist may enroll for the Bachelor
of Arts course; he may major in one of the Social Studies and choose
electives in English composition, literature, and other subjects useful
in his future work.
In Engineering, and in Commerce and Finance, the course of study is,
by contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the Liberal
Arts program are required, and the choice of electives is left to the
individual preference. Students find the Engineering course a useful
preparation for our mechanized civilization, even though they do not
make engineering their life work. The curricula in Engineering and in
Commerce and Finance are also adapted for those who plan to teach these
subjects.

CHEMISTRY

Modem industries offer many opportunities to the chemist and chemical engineer. Today, most large industries employ both chemists and
chemical engineers. In the smaller industries either may be called upon
to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories,
analysing, studying, and perfecting procedures and developing new
processes, new methods and new uses. He meets the chemical engineer
in the pilot plant where together they design and construct, on a small
scale, the new manufacturing plant. The duties of the engineer may
include design, construction, or operation of the chemical plant. Managers of industrial and chemical plants need technical training, as do
salesmen for specialized products, buyers for manufacturing concerns,
employees in many fields of government service and other activities. The
chemical industries include coke, gas, dyes, gasoline, and other petroleum
products, rubber, textiles, explosives, cement, metallurgy, plastics, nylon,
paints, ceramics, fertilizers, solvents, leather, drugs, light and heavy
chemicals and other substances. Last, this is an atomic age and to be an
intelligent modem, one can scarcely gain too great an understanding
of chemistry.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to other
engineering schools if they make their plans in advance. With slight
modification of their program, students may complete the first two years
of work in such additional types of Engineering as aeronautical, mining
and metallurgical, and administrative.
Two years of the engineering curriculum afford a foundation fo~ a
wide range of occupations. Students desiring such technological tram·
ing should consult the Registrar or the Engineering faculty when plan-

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The student should learn the requirements of his
denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the Liberal Arts
course, with major or electives in Religion and Bible, is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses with college training has increased with the
progress of medical science and the wide adoption of highly skilled
scientific techniques. A number of hospitals and universities now offer
three years of training with a Bachelor of Science degree to student
nurses who have completed two years of college. For those who wish
to make a life work of nursing, and who aspire to administrative positions in the major hospitals, this course is recommended.
Demand for extended training has been further accelerated by the
recent expansion of health services in Federal Agencies and by increased
governmental support to medical programs.
PHYSICS

The first two years of work leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Physics may be taken at Wilkes College. After that, students
may transfer to other colleges to complete their course. The program
at Wilkes has been carefully designed to fulfill the requirements of
those colleges to which students are likely to transfer.
In the modern world, the application of Physics to everyday life is
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently
recognized nor understood. The tools of communication, electronics,
transportation, the motion picture, illumination, engineering, manufacturing, and medicine (to mention but a few of the many activities
of modern industrial civilization) are developed and perfected by the
employment of the fundamental laws of Physics.
PSYCHOLOGY

World Wars I and II stressed the importance of the application of
Psychology in many diversified fields. Since then, the need for graduate
work and specialized training has been recognized.
Liberal Arts preparation on the undergraduate level, consisting of a
sound foundation in Psychology, Biology, Sociology, and related fields,
provides an excellent background for work in graduate schools.
Opportunities for the professional psychologist are available in college
teaching, clinical work, education, business, industry and personnel.

Student Activities
P UB LICATIONS

The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They supply
values which cannot be developed through academic work alone. All
students are encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
DRAMATICS

Students of the drama present several one-act plays, and two major
productions each year. The students are given training in the arts of
the theatre, acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and stage
lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for major and experimental productions.
COLLEGE BAND

The College band is organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at all athletic events, and gives concerts throughout the year.
.
The College owns instruments which are used by musicians who do
not have their own bass horns, drums, etc. A uniform is distributed to
each member at the beginning of the year. The band library is constantly
supplemented by the best martial and concert music.
CHORAL CLUB

The College maintains a mixed chorus with membership open to all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal experience
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required of
members. The chorus meets three times each week for the study of
choral literature covering various periods of music history. Several
programs are presented each semester before the College community and
the general public.
The Choral Club is directed by a member of the faculty. It elects its
student officers and management.
COLLEGE ORCHESTRA

All sl:udents interested in forming an orchestra should consult. wi~h
the director of the School of Music. The College is eager to assist 10
the development of instrumental music and an orchestral society will be
organized as soon as student interest and abilities are discovered on the
campus.

�College Curricula
The curricula include courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degrees, and a number of shorter programs requiring only two or three years of college training.
The degree courses include four-year programs in the Liberal Arts,
Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Education, and two-year
programs in Physics, Engineering, and Music Education. Students completing these two-year programs satisfactorily may transfer credits for
their first two years of work to selected colleges offering degrees in these
three fields of study.
The two- and three-year programs lead to no degree but do give
professional, semi-professional, and technical training required in a
number of occupations. Among the occupations which may require two
or three years of college background are dentistry, chiropractic, osteopathy, medical technology, laboratory technology, secretarial work for
business and medicine, music, and radio.
Special programs may be arranged for persons wishing to select
courses that will satisfy individual interests or needs.

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The Liberal Arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills. It is expected, however, that ability
in expression and interpretation will be developed.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

Major Subject

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is_desirable that a ma1or be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that 1t _be
elected before the beginning of the Junior year. Students wishing to maJor
in Biology, Mathematics, or Music must choose their major when they enter
the College.
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except Chemistry,
Education, and Physics. The requirements for each major are specified preceding the description of courses.
A major may also be taken in Social Science. The Social Science major
requires a total of 36 hours in Economics, History, Political Scier:ce, and
Sociology. Eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and at least six hours
in each of the other three. Social Science courses required in the first two
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to _take twen~}'
hours in Education to obtain certification. It is therefore impossible for t e
prospective teacher of Social Studies to satisfy all of the above requiremen~f
Hence, a student preparing to teach Social Studies in the public schools w~o
1
receive credit toward the Social Science major for all required courses
Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION
.

Secondary
This course in Education is intended to prepare students for teaching in the
Secondary Schools. The required course will enable the student to obtain
certification in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As the requirements vary
from state to state, it will be necessary for students wishing to teach in other
states to satisfy the special requirements of the state by electing the required
subjects.
To attain proficiency in the subject which the student wishes to teach, it will
be necessary to elect a minimum of 24 hours in that subject. In addition, the
student should take a minimum of 18 hours in at least one additional field. By
following this plan each student can meet the minimum requirements for
teaching in at least two fields. Careful consideration should be given to the
combination of teaching subjects that are of greatest interest to the student and
which, at the same time, will give the !::est opportunity for employment.

MAJOR IN SECRETARIAL STIJDIES

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the Engineering curriculum.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the Junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed, their
work at such representative colleges as: Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania
State College, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interested in
Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and their application.

The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
Research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needai to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.

During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception that Chemical Engineering students must take two additional hours more Chemistry in the second term. For this reason the student
should decide by the middle of the first year between Chemical Engineering
and one of the other branches of Engineering. The curricula change further
at the beginning of the second year. For this reason the student should decide
by then whether he will pursue Civil, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical
Engineering.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical Engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical industry
in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change. Such materials
include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroleum products, coke, gas, dyes,
electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics, drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all Chemical Engineering. The training of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of Chemical, Mechanical, and Electrical
Engineering as will make him a competent development or sales engineer.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field. His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence and result of his profession upon our way of life
and how its development and expansion affect our future.

The two-year intensive secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general education; to develop an understanding of business activities;
and to give specialized training for secretarial work.
The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the Bachelor
of Science Degree in Commerce and Finance when students desire to continue
their education after completing their secretarial training. The flexibility of
the program leading to this degree permits students to elect a 24-hour sequence
either in commerce and finan ce or in another field of study, according to the
interests and objectives of each student.

MR. RICHARDS

COBLEIGH, MR. MORAN

The study of Music Theory is centered upon three main principles:
(I) The recognition of intervals and meter through
dictation.

(2) The structure of chords and chord progressions
through keyboard harmony.
( 3) The writing of music through exercises in
harmonic and contrapuntal technics.
The concentration of al] Theory into these four courses is in accordance with the method now employed in many of our leading Music
schools.

SAFETY EDUCATION-

Discussion and demonstration of practical values in visual and other
sensory aids; standards for appraising and their relationship to the curriculum; guiding principles and techniques; minimum equipment and
sources; housing and distribution.

To meet the needs of ambitious men and women, who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1.

Those employed in business or governmental organizations who
desire and need training to fit them for advancement.

2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new field.

3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business fields .
5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon comple6on of thirty semester hours, the student's high
school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at
the request of the student, and he may then be &lt;egistered as a degree
candidate. However, no student may expect to count toward an undergraduate degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is gua!i.
fied to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishEs to regisc.::r.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic failure will be permitted to register for
evening school, nor will such student receive credit for subsequent work
done in evening school. Any exception to this must be approved by th,
Deans.
ATTENDA CE

Attendance at evening classes may be discontinued whenever the
record of achievement indicates that the person is nor obtaining sufficient benefit to justify continued study.

In its role as a community college, Wilkes believes that
positive good will result from the continuing education of
adults. Toward that end, an introductory program in adult
education is being offered in the Evening Division .
These non-credit courses will meet one night each week
for ten weeks during the semester.
The charge for these non-credit courses is considerably
less than that of the regular undergraduate courses. Each
person will pay $10 per course per semester.
Courses to be offered during the regular college year of
1951-52 will be announced during the summer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS - 1950-1951

WILKES-BARRE
PENNSYLVANIA

�Marks of An Educated Man . . .
1. He seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding, and

without understanding the problems that separate us are insoluble.
2. He is able to communicate ideas in a manner that assures understand-

ing.

3. He has faith in man. He respects differences because he knows how
they have come to be. He fears uniformity because it confines both
mind and spirit. He is aware of his own limitations and his neighbor's
possibilities.
4. He possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
5 He cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich

his daily living and sustain him in times of crises.
6. He has ethical standards by which he lives.
7
· He is aware of the human struggle for progress and comprehends the

forces that have assured or jeopardized this progress. He knows that
man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical stamina.
8
·

He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen, and participates
cons~ructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community.

A History of the College
l""J'"10

PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered
J.by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley were the largest community in Pennsylvania, if not in
the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an experimental basis while the interest of students in advancing their education
and the willingness of citizens to support the new college were determined. By 1938, the response from both groups was known and plans
for a permanent college were made.
While these plans were under consideration, Bucknell University
adopted a policy in relation to the Junior College that significantly affected its development. In 1938, the University promised the College
complete autonomy when its foundations were firmly established, but
offered to continue its sponsorship as long as this support was of value
to the new college. At the same time, the responsibility originally
assumed by the Board of Trustees of the University was transferred to a
local Board as being more strategically placed to forecast future needs
and to integrate the College as a community institution.
Und~r this agreement, the Junior College advanced rapidly and by
successive steps extended its program to include four years of work. In
1946, the University offered extension courses in Wilkes-Barre enabling
students to finish their Junior and Senior years at Wilkes-Barre. At the
same ~ime, the College trustees expanded the facilities of the College and
established an endowment of more than $500,000. Having satisfied
te requ~rements of the State, the Junior College was chartered as Wilkes
ollege m June, 1947, and thus gained an independent legal status.
World War II deterred the growth of the College for a period of
yers, but the impetus to education resulting from war experiences ac~~ ~~te?_i~s development in the years immediately following the cessation
conti~tilities. Early ~n the war, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
th s·gent of 250 Air Crew students was stationed at the College with
at eth t ~ College Training Detachment. These cadets were quartered
regu: otel Sterling and received training in classes separate from the
werear college classes. For several years following the war veterans

those earned at Bucknell University Junior College. At present, only
two classes have been graduated, but a surprising number of graduates
have entered graduate and professional schools. Present reports show
that more than 37 percent of the graduates are continuing their studies
beyond the baccalaureate degree.
RECORD OF GROWTH

The first classes were held in a rented office building with an enroll·
ment of 155 students, and a majority of the faculty were drawn from
the staff of Bucknell University. After an experimental three years, the
Administration and local Trustees appealed to leading citizens to enable
the College to move from rented quarters into a permanent home. The
response was prompt and generous.
Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral and Mrs. Harold R. Stark were
the first donors, and John N. Coyngham Hall and Chase Hall, given in
1937, were dedicated by President Marts on April 9, 1938. Five hundred
residents of the Valley contributed to the funds for adapting these buildings to college use. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Weckesser added the residence at 78 West Northampton Street to the College property in 1938.
In 1941, Mr. Allen Kirby's gift, of the former residence of his par·
ents with spacious grounds adjoining those of Chase Hall, provided
the College with a real campus and permitted expansion from quarters
that were already overcrowded. The new building, named the Kirby
Home for Education, was dedicated on December 2, 1941.
Members of the Board of Trustees gave the College three additional
buildings during 1945 and 1946, which were subsequently named Isaac
Barr&lt; Hall, in honor of the English statesman friendly to the cause of
the American Revolution, Zebulon Butler Hall in honor of the American
01
patriot, and Gies Hall, named in memory of Paul Gies, former profess
of music, who died in 1948. Another adjacent property, Ashley Hall.
was deeded to the College in 1946, by the heirs of the Ashley estate,
Mrs. Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Roccena Wolfe. thIo
1947, Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni presented the College with the lot at e
corner of South Franklin and South Streets, and later in the same yea&lt;
a lot on South Franklin Street was purchased as the site of a
the construction of which is planned for 1950.
.
In 1949, three additional properties were acquired. Timothy_ p,~e:,;
ing Hall was purchased by the Board of Trustees tn the spnng, ,n of
December, Sterling Hall was left to the College through a 1,equ;\.i
Colonel Walter C Sterling, and the President's residence was
(th&lt;
with funds contributed specifically for that purpase by a fnen
College.

CURRICULA

The College offers courses leading to degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry, Biology, and Commerce and Finance. In addition, the fust two
years are offered in Physics and Engineering; thereafter, the student who
successfully completes these courses may transfer to some other institution as a Junior.
TERMINAL CURRICULA

To students who desire only two years of college or who are unable
to make arrangements for a four-year college course, the College offers
two-year terminal courses in music, secretarial work, medical secretarial
work, radio production, and laboratory-technician training.
EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension courses from Bucknell University are offered for both undergraduate and graduate credit. Selected courses have been offered in the
evening during the past ten years, and now courses are being offered
through which students may obtain a special training or credit toward
a degree. Persons seeking a Master's degree from Bucknell University
may take six hours in Wilkes-Barre, but must take the remaining hours
in residence at Lewisburg.

REGISTRATION

Students are required to register at the beginning of each term on the
dates designated for this purpose. Failure to comply with this regulation necessitates an additional charge.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered
by the tuition charge of $225 per semester is indicated in the program
of courses. Any student taking a load beyond that which is recommended
must maintain at least a "B" average and must pay for each additional
hour at the usual hourly rate.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at all classes is taken for granted and repeated absence is
deemed a sufficient cause for failure.
Satisfaction of the requirements for attendance at assemblies is also
expected. Failure to meet these requirements may lead to the withholding of all credit.
FACULTY

The value to be derived from a college is less dependent upon material
equipment than upon the character of its teachers and the quality of their
interest in the students. The faculty of the College have been carefully
selected for their training, experience and personalities. They have
been granted degrees by forty colleges and universities in the United
States, Canada, and Europe: Alabama, Boston University, Bryn Mawr,
Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Comenius, Cornell, Cracow, Delaware,
Dickinson, Duke, Harvard, Hunter, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
New England Conservatory of Music, New Rochelle, New York, North
Carolina, Northwestern, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania State, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee State,
Warsaw, Washington and lee, Western Reserve, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Ya_le, ~Web. A cosmopolitan group, they have taught in schools and
universities throughout the United States and Europe, and their travels
hat taken them to all parts of the world. They bring to the College
a 6~eadth of experience and of vision that enables them to treat their
t~ Jects in large perspective, and they bring an academic preparation

GUIDANCE CENTER

The Guidance Center of the College, which was set up in April, 1945,
offers its services to veterans seeking entitlement under the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act and "G. I. Bill." A staff of experienced Vocational
Counselors and a Testing Department, headed by a clinical psychologist,
are on hand .five days a week to !ielp veterans and students explore their
backgrounds, capacities, interests, and general qualifications for the
purpose of developing or forwarding a vocational plan.
CAREERS LIBRARY

The Careers Library has taken its place on the campus because the
College recognizes its responsibility for helping a student to launch his
career with maximum effectiveness. The library is intended to obviate
the one great factor in occupational maladjustment of American youth,
namely scarcity of information. It is an instrument of the consulting
service which is provided not only for Seniors but for all classes in the
College. A consultant on careers, maintained by the College, has established and continues to maintain contact with representative industries
and professional associations throughout the country. From these
primary sources comes first hand information on careers. Thousands of
pages culled from this raw material provide background information,
and are under constant revision. Individual attention is given the problems and queries of each student as he seeks to set himself in the right
vocational direction. One section of the library is devoted to scholarships, fellowships, and company training programs. Another has to do
with careers from a geographic point of view. Forty house organs, emp_Ioyee magazines, and professional periodicals are a feature. In the
library there are some 600 catalogs and bulletins from more than 500
American colleges and universities, in addition to announcements from
foreign institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional
level.
The Careers Consulting Service is not concerned with placement but
rather
'th th e way to a career. Long before graduation a student should
h
Wt
ave availed himself of this service.
COUNSELING

imCounseling at Wilkes College is considered to be one of the most
gr!o~ant ways in which we are able to help in the development and
~ion""~ 0.f t?e student. Each student's personal, educational, and vocaas ; 0 ?{cttves are considered at the time of application, so that, insofar
reali; ssihle, the academic program can be planned to enable him to
e t ese objectives.

Upon entering the College, each student participates in a testing program, the purpose of which is to provide all of us who are concerned
with his progress with information about his abilities, interests and
aptitudes. Through a program of faculty advisement, each student has
a continual opportunity to consult with a member of the faculty for the
purpose of discussing scholastic progress and any social or personal
problem with which the student needs help.
The Deans of Men and Women cooperate with faculty advisers in
providing the student with information and guidance wherever possible.
Students are urged to avail themselves of these opportunities for help.
Realizing that the problem of choosing a career is a realistic and pressing
one for most college students, the College has instituted a Careers Library,
located in the Guidance Center, which makes available to the student
a wealth of current information about hundreds of occupations, pro-

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, basketball,
wrestling, baseball, tennis, soccer, golf, and swimming. Colleges within
the state and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an intercollegiate sport for physical education courses if they meet
departmental requirements. A program of intramural sports and
physical education gives every man an opportunity to participate. Basketball, boxing, handball, volley ball, bowling, swimming, and table tennis
are some of the sports available. Physical Education requirements are

PLACEMENT SERVICE

Training and skill are required in many fields, but they are not
enough. The world needs men possessing broad vision as well as technical competence. The telegraph, radio, airplane, and finally the atomic
bomb have rendered obsolete the isolated nationalism of yesterday. As
science and technology reduce the size of the world, and man's mobility
increases the tempo of competition, a liberal education becomes a necessity rather than a privilege.
Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: "Educated men are as much
snperior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead." The character of a man's world has always been determined by his understanding
of the motives of other men. To offset the trend of specialization which
limits the field of a man's knowledge, the scientist and technologist need
increasingly to temper their training with a background of the humanities, the distilled essence of the experience of mankind. Specialized training should be combined with courses that help the student to understand
human nature, his own and other men's.
The College offers two opportunities: a general education for life,
and specific training for various vocations. The general education develops understanding of our civilization and prepares the student for
constructive citizenship. The specific training consists of courses required for selected occupations and professions.
. The Liberal Arts and Science courses may be adapted to specific vocations _by the selection of congenial fields of concentration and of appropriate electives. A prospective journalist may enroll for the Bachelor
of Arts course; he may major in one of the Social Studies and choose
~le~ives in English composition, literature, and other subjects useful
10 his future work.

b In Engineeri_ng, ~nd in Comm~rce and Finance, the course of study is,
contrast, primarily technological, although courses from the Liberal
. ~~ _program are required, and the choice of electives is left to the
in ividu~l preference. Students find the Engineering course a useful
::aratio_n fo~ our mechanized civilization, even though they do not
e engmeermg their life work. The curricula in Engineering and in
C0 rnrnerce d psub·
an mance are a1so adapted for those who plan to teach these
Jects.

The Commerce and Finance curriculum covers business principles and
practices; it also includes Liberal Arts electives. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for
business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and
women with this broad cultural background find themselves eligible
for opportunities dosed to those lacking such training.
CHEMISTRY

Modern industries offer many opportunities to the chemist and chemical engineer. Today, most large industries employ both chemists and
chemical engineers. In the smaller industries either may be called upon
to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories,
analysing, studying, and perfecting procedures and developing new
processes, new methods and new uses. He meets the chemical engineer
in the pilot plant where together they des~gn and construct, on a small
scale, the new manufacturing plant. The duties of the engineer may
include design, construction, or operation of the chemical plant. Man·
agers of industrial and chemical plants need technical training, as do
salesmen for specialized products, buyers for manufacturing concerns,
employees in many fields of government service and other activities. The
chemical industries include coke, gas, dyes, gasoline, and other petroleum
products, rubber, textiles, explosives, cement, metallurgy, plastics, nylon,
paints, ceramics, fertilizers, solvents, leather, drugs, light and heavy
chemicals and other substances. Last, this is an atomic age and to be an
intelligent modern, one can scarcely gain too great an understanding
of chemistry.
ENGINEERING

The first two years of work in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial,
and mechanical engineering may be taken at Wilkes College. At the
end of the second year, students may transfer their credits to othet
engineering schools if they make their plans in advance. With sltght
modification of their program, students may complete the first two ye_•~
of work in such additional types of Engineering as aeronautical, muung
and metallurgical, and administrative.
Two years of the engineering currirulum afford a foundation fo&lt;
wide range of oa:upations. Students desiring such technological to•n·
ing should consult the Registrar or the Engineering faculty when plan·
ning their programs.

MINISTRY

The various churches differ widely as to the training required of
prospective ministers. The student should learn the requirements of his
denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the Liberal Arts
course, with major or electives in Religion and Bible, is appropriate.
NURSING

The demand for nurses with college training has increased with the
progress of medical science and the wide adoption of highly skilled
scientific techniques. A number of hospitals and universities now offer
three years of training with a Bachelor of Science degree to student
nurses who have completed two years of college. For those who wish
to make a life work of nursing, and who aspire to administrative positions in the major hospitals, this course is recommended.
Demand for extended training has been further accelerated by the

Student Activities
PUBLICATIONS

The scholastic program is supplemented by a representative group of
student activities, organized and controlled by the students. They supply
values which cannot be developed through academic work alone. All
students are encouraged to participate in at least one activity during
the year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

To provide a co-ordinating agency, to establish social standards, and
to assure responsibility, a Student Council, representative of all students, is elected annually. The Council is responsible for planning,
supervising, and executing the program of student activities.
DRAMATICS

Students of the drama present several one-act plays, and two major
productions each year. The students are given training in the arts of
the theatre, acting, make-up, scenery-building, costuming, and stage
lighting. The College Theatre serves as workshop for major and experimental productions.

The two- and three-year programs lead to no degree but do give
professional, semi-professional, and technical training required in a
number of occupations. Among the occupations which may require two
or three years of college background are dentistry, chiropractic, osteopathy, medical technology, laboratory technology, secretarial work for
business and medicine, music, and radio.
Special programs may be arranged for persons wishing to select

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS IN SEMESTER HOURS
FOR
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

The Liberal Arts course is primarily concerned with individual development
and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the
men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men
and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and
perspective as opposed to narrow skills. It is expected, however, that ability
in expression and interpretation will be developed.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

A liberal program must necessarily include a wide range of subjects if it is
to cultivate understanding of the thoughts, ideals, and institutions upon which
our civilization is based. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from
which he will select his major study.

ALtjor Subject
SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is_ de·
sirable that a ma1or be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that it _be
elected before the beginning of the Junior year. Students wishing to maior
in Biology, Mathematics, or Music must choose their major when they enter
the College.
5t
A major may be taken in any subject listed in the divisions except C~emi ry~
Education, and Physics. The requirements for each major are specified pre
ceding the description of courses.
.
A major may also be taken in Social Science. The Social Scie~ce maJO~
requires a total of 36 hours in Economics, History, Political Scie~c\ 0~r
t
Sociology. Eighteen hours must be taken in one of these and a~ leaS sr t t\\.0
in each of the other three. Social Science courses required m the rs
years shall not count toward this major.
•enty
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are requ(red to
the
hours in_ Education to obt~in certi_fication .. It is therefore impossi rernent .
prospective teacher of Sooal Studies to satisfy all of the above_ re9Ji 0 ols "'•ill
Hence, a student preparing to teach Social Studies in the pub~ic s urses in
receive credit toward the Social Science major for all required co
Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology.

Seventh Semester

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the Engineering curriculwn.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the Junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed, their
work at such representative colleges as: Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Colwnbia, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania
State College, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interestea in
Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various .fields:
Research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may _be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
with the exception that Chemical Engineering students must take two additional hours more Chemistry in the second term. For this reason the student
should decide by the middle of the first year between Chemical Engineering
and one of the other branches of Engineering. The curricula change further
at the middle of the second year. For this reason the student should decide
by then whether he will pursue Civil, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical
Engineering.

Electives ..... •••·· ·· · ·· ·····

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the Engineering curriculwn.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records may
transfer to the Junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed, their
work at such representative colleges as: Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Drexel, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, Pennsylvania
State College, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and University of Nebraska.
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries
to the uses of civilization. The engineer is obliged to specialize because of the
vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his particular field,
the student should consider his natural interests. The demands of this profession are exacting, but it should appeal to those genuinely interestea in
Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and their application.
The following general distinctions may be made between the various fields:
Research appeals to the imaginative mind; the more practical person may _be
interested in development and design; others find satisfaction in the tangible
results of construction, operation, and production. Technically trained men
are always needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience
broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher
executive and administrative positions.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the same
V:ith the exception that Chemical Engineering students must take two additional hours more Chemistry in the second term. For this reason the student
should decide by the middle of the first year between Chemical Engineering
and one of the other branches of Engineering. The curricula change further
at the middle of the second year. For this reason the student should decide
by then whether he will pursue Civil, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical
Engineering.

Today nearly every activity of civilized life depends upon electricity. The
electrical engineer is trained to design, construct, and operate all electrical
generating equipment. He must supervise and control the distribution of
electricity for driving the machinery in mills, factories, and mines; for electric
railways, chemical processing, heating, lighting, and for all electrical devices
used in the home.
The communications field, including telegraph, telephone, radio, radar,
teletype, transmission of print and pictures, offers numerous opportunities.
Development of electronic tubes, circuits, and equipment for commercial processes offers opportunities in many fields of endeavor.

The field of Industrial or Management Engineering has to do with the
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel; and
of design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparation with
a background in science, engineering, economics, business administration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful industrial engineer must
not only possess technical skill and ability; it is of equal importance that he
~ve economic and humanistic interests, and character and personality as well.
e must work with others and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a
co?Imon goal. The industrial engineer deals with people as well as with macb~nes and materials. This curriculm offers the first two years work for those
primarily interested in the administration of technical enterprises.

A PRELIMINARY PROGRAM IN MUSIC EDUCATION

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The mechanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction, installation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical application of
mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power from whatever source
derived. The generation of power, whether by steam, hydro or internal-combustion engines is of primary concern to the mechanical engineer in the power
field . His services are necessary wherever process equipment and machine
tools -are made or used.
The mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the fundamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill in the
application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have an understanding of the influence and result of his profession upon our way of life
and how its development and expansion affect our future.

~e two-year intensi~e secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general education; to develop an understanding of business activities ·
and to give specialized training for secretarial work.
'
The required courses in this curriculum may be counted toward the Bachelor
of Science Degree in Commerce and Finance when students desire to continue
their education after completing their secretarial training. The flexibility of
t~e pr~gram leading to this degree ~ermits students to elect a 24-hour sequence
either m commerce and finance or m another field of study, according to the
interests and objectives of each student.

As the influence of radio increases, so will an. in_evitable d~mand_ for me~
and women possessed of broad training and speci~ltzed tech_nical skills. This
course does not pretend to develop experts in radio produ&lt;;tion: and pr?gr~mming, but it does help to cre~te familiarity with broadcasting m combination
with courses in general education.
The course in general education will be given in the college an_d the t~chnical courses will be given in the workshop of a local broadcasting station.

dictation.
( 2) The structure of chords and chord progressions
through keyboard harmony.

Assistant Professor Dominguez; Instructors Boyle, Guttman, Harker,
Kanner, and Riley.
A major in Psychology consists of a minimum of twenty-four hours in
this field. Psychology 100 is not accepted toward a major; Sociology

The department requires that Psychology majors substitute one year
of a laboratory science in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics in place of
Biological Science. Students planning to take graduate work in Psychology must take either French or German to meet future graduate school
requirements.
The major in Psychology is designed for students who plan to continue
the study of Psychology on a graduate level, or whose interest lies in the
teaching of Psychology in college, or in the application of Psychology to
such fields as advertising, clinical work, business, or educational or industrial personnel. The student is cautioned that an undergraduate
major in Psychology does not qualify him for professional psychological
work. Advanced graduate study is always required before the individual
can qualify as a psychologist. In a great many fields today, the Ph.D.
degree is being required for qualification.
Students who wish to become certified by the Pennsylvania Depart·
ment of Public Instruction as psychological examiners or as public school
psychologists should plan their program carefully under the direction
of their faculty adviser so that necessary courses may be taken.

To meet the needs of ambitious men and women, who, while employed, desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes
College has organized the Evening Division.
A wide program of courses is offered each semester from which selections may be made according to individual tastes and requirements.
The courses offered by the Evening Division are designed for their
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who

desire and need training to .fit them for advancement.
2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study and

training for work in a new .field.
3. Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire additional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them.
4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and
discussion courses offered in various business fields.
5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and
aspire through the study of accounting courses to qualify for
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified
Public Accountants.
6. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and improvement.
All students who register for evening courses are classed as special
students. Upon completion of thirty semester hours, the student's high
school transcript and his record as a special student will be evaluated at
the request of the student, and he may then be registered as a degree
candidate. However, no student may expect to count toward an undergraduate degree more than thirty credits earned as a special student.
Students who do not seek a degree are admitted to all classes which
they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, previous education,
and experience. Although it is advisable, when possible, for each student registering to have first completed his high school course, the lack
of part or all high school training does not debar an applicant from the
advantages of the practical training of the College, provided he is qualified to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.

Entrepreneur Terr Jones visits campus Earthshot Prize
advocates for
environment

By Sean Schmoyer
Managing Editor
On Oct. 21, Terry Jones, founder of
Travelocity and founding chairman of Kayak.
com, spent the day speaking with students and
touring campus.
Jones' visit was organized by the Allan
P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and
Entrepreneurship. With a full day of activities,
Jones spoke with students at an Honors Q&amp;A
panel which was open to honors program
students, Kirby scholars and students in
certain business classes. After the panel,
Jones attended a dinner and then closed out
his night with his lecture, "On Innovation:
Powerful Ideas to Create a More Innovative
Organization:
Executive Director of the Allan P. Kirby
Center, Chuck Pierce commented on the visit.
"It was really engaging, especially from the
student aspect. It was a long time coming. It
was something we had to reschedule over and
over through COVID. A lot of hours went into
it but it was very rewarding. This is something
we try to do twice a year. Finding someone
like Terry Jones who has name recognition,
maybe not his name but the companies that he
started, is really relevant:'
At the Q&amp;A Jones took questions from
students, covering topics ranging from his
books, "On Innovation' and "Disruption
Off: partnerships between companies, how
to adapt and move past failure, how to raise
capital and the challenges of it and his creative
process for generating ideas.

By Morgan Rich
Staff Writer

In response to a question about failure,
Jones said, "You have to look at failure as an
open door. Look at Silicon Valley. We look for
people who have failed, because they may have
a better attitude, they may not be so passionate
about things and not waste money, tltere could
be a lot of things that they learn.
long as
you learn from failure, map.y of you are on the
cross country team or on a sports team, why
is it that after a race that you dont win that
you go back and t to figure out everything
you did wrong? It is not to assess blame, it is
to ensure victory, to ensure the next time you
do not do if'
Jones went on to explain that in sports you

get lots of chances to fail and that it should be
the same in business, and that now there are
tools to experiment with at low costs between
artificial intelligence, 3D printing and websites.
He also talked about his creative process
expressing how modern education has flaws
in that students will learn about technology
that will be obsolete by the time they reach
the field His solution is to spend your time in
school learning how to learn.
Jones talked about how he grew up in an
advertising family with the ability to read a
large number of magazines and would go to

The first international Earthshot Prize
was held on Oct. 17 in London and
awarded five different nominees for their
contributions to environmentalism.
The Earthshot Prize is the most
distinguished global environmental prize
in history and aims to help repair and bring
change to the planet. The prize was started
by the Royal Foundation of The Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge in 2020. The Royal
Foundation will run the Earthshot Prize
until the end of 2021.
According to the Earthshot Prize
website, inspiration for the prize was
taken from President John F. Kennedy's
Moonshot, which was when he challenged
the nation to land a man on the moon and
claim a leadership role in space exploration
by the end of the 1960s.
The Earthshot Prize is centered around
five different "Earthshots:' which is
supported by UN Sustainable Development
Goals and other internationally recognized
measures. Together they form a unique set
of challenges that are rooted in science
and aimed to produce new and different
ways of thinking, technologies, solutions,
systems, as well as policies.

Student Government notes: Oct.·20 weekly meeting
By Zach Paraway
Staff Writer
The Student Government held its sixth
meeting of the semester. It started in
traditional fashion with a call to order and roll
being taken. Next was the approval of minutes
and the treasurer,s report. The treasurer's
report stated that there is a total of $42,713
across all SG accounts.
The first order of business was a request
from the Air Force ROTC about a club trip.
It was given by Shawn Cottee. The request
was for $1,800 to go toward a trip to Paintball
Asylum to gain field training that they believe
will be beneficial to the cadets. Many of the
cadets have no experience in field combat
and the trip would relieve financial burdens
on the families and give a chance for cadets to
gain valuable experience. The decision is to be
made at next week's meeting.
The second order of business was a
presentation of the Table Tennis Chili, for a

review of their constitution and asking to be
activated as a club on campus. As presented
by the president, first year chemistry student
Saurabh Patel, the club would present the
opportunity for a new
intramural on campus
for students. The club
has asked for $300 in
order to afford table
tennis racquets and
balls. Without much
promotion, the club
already has heard back
with interest from at
least 11 students. The
club is to be supervised
by Megan Boone
Valkenburg.
The third order
of business was a
presentation from Zach Niemiec, a P3
pharmacy student, about the review of the
constitution and reactivation of the Ski and

Snowboard Club. It was last active in 2019.
The club hopes to visit ski resorts in the
greater Northeastern Pennsylvania region
for students who have a desire to ski and
snowboard. The club,
with limited promotion,
has seen interest from
at least 58 students.
With a full e-board,
the club looks to add
,.members that want to
have fun while skiing
d
snowboarding
together. The club and
constitution will be
voted on next week
The fourth order
of business was a
presentation from Olivia
Schanbacher, a junior
musical theater major, about the review of the
constitution and activation of the Tap Club.
This is to be different from the dance and

Nobel Prize winner. Dr. William D. Phillips speaks on science
By Jake Maskulyak
Staff Writer

f

Dr. William D. Phillips, a co-recipient
of the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics, was
welcomed to Wilkes on Oct. 20 for a
presentation on modern science.
The chemistry department hosts the
Catherine H. Bone lecture in chemistry
series on a regular basis, hosting notable
guests. This series of lectures has been made
possible by the previous work of Catherine
H. Bone, a former professor of chemistry at
Wilkes.
The most recent speaker was a Nobel
Prize winner who has garnered and earned
several other achievements in his field.
Phillips was born in Wilkes-Barre and
spent his early childhood in Kingston
before his family moved out of the area.
He attended Juniata College where he
earned his bachelor's degree, followed by a
doctorate of philosophy in physics from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He
has since worked for the National Institute
of Standards and Technology as well as
serving as a professor of physics at the
University of Maryland.
Phillips started the lecture by introducing
himself, as well as some colleagues that
he worked closely with in the past. This
introduction was brief, and he explained
the many entertaining concepts that he
could cover in the field relating to his topic,
"Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the
Universe:'
Phillips emphasized that he wanted the
audience to have fun, and that rather than
covering several topics that would take up
an hour each, he would instead explain the
theory of special relativity and the discovery
that time and space were not constant.
The lecture that was given kept the
audience engaged, with several pieces
of humor and interesting stories. In the
lecture, Phillips explained the concept of
time and the speed of light to explain GPS,
and how GPS worked, including how the
distance from satellites allows us to know
where we are on the face of the earth.
"People use GPS for everything, such as
to figure out how far they are from home;'
said Phillips. "When we drove here, to this
lovely bed and breakfast last night, the
GPS guided us right to the front door. So
everybody uses this all the time. I think that
sometimes, people wouldn't know how to
find their local grocery store if they didn't
have GPS. But, the point is, that time is
important for your daily lives:'
Later in the presentation, Phillips talked

about his team's work in using a laser and
a magnetic field to decelerate and cool an
atomic beam.
"The coldest thing you've ever seen is
liquid nitrogen;' Phillips said. "It boils when
it hits the ground. It turns rubber bands
into dry twigs. It's 77 degrees above absolute
zero. We're supposed to get within 240
millionths of a degree above absolute zero:'
To prove his point, Phillips walked around
with a bottle of liquid nitrogen and poured

experiments that Phillips was able to use to
show discoveries his team had made within
their experiments. The audience was treated
to many demonstrations, which kept them
engaged and interested in the material. One
demonstration showed how cold liquid
nitrogen was in comparison to the room.
Phillips put a container of liquid nitrogen
under a small plastic trash can, then telling
the audience they would get back to the
experiment later. The audience did get

llquld nitrogen around Stark 101.
it all around the Stark to 1 lecture hall, to
show how it was so cold that it boiled when
it touched the ground.
He went on to explain the experiment
that led his team to the discovery that would
earn them the Nobel Prize.
"The temperatures we could get were
really tremendously lower than we had
predicted;' said Phillips. "We got the
temperature down to seven-tenths of a
millionth of a degree of absolute zero:'
The presentation highlighted several

back to it later, when the pressure created
an explosion that made the trash can fly in
the air, while Phillips was in the middle of
explaining something else.
After the lecture, Phillips fielded
questions from the audience for more than
30 minutes. Students who came to see the
lecture were interested in the topics, no
matter the discipline or age they were.
Phillips mentioned in his presentation
that it was the first time he spoke to a live
audience since the pandemic. Student

reception was positive.
"The presentation had stuff that kids
could understand, but not enough to bore a
physics minor;' said Ashlynn Allison, senior
mechanical engineering major with a minor
in physics.
Allison noted Matthew Schwarztrauber, a
Pl pharmacy student and chemistry minor,
who also attended the lecture with her felt
that the mix of chemistry and physics was
beneficial.
"It was really entertaining to sit here
because Matthew does chemistry, I do
physics, so he understood one thing, then I
understood the next thing, and it went back
and forth, and back and forth;' said Allison.
Michael Nowak, a sophomore electrical
engineer, explained how the surprises and
demonstrations made the presentation
interactive and engaging.
"You can pay attention better. You can
understand what he's talking about;' said
Nowak. "Sometimes professors talk and
they just like to go through notes. When
he does interactive stuff, you can see it
happening as he's talking about it."
Schwarztrauber also noted the new
learning opportunities featured in the
lecture.
"You can see that there's a lot of
intersection between a lot of science
disciplines;' said Schwartztrauber.
Dr. Donald Mencer, professor in the
chemistry department, was glad to have
Philips at Wilkes. He felt it was an honor to
have an internationally recognized scientist
accept the invitation to deliver the lecture.
"Dr. Phillips is well known for his
contributions to laser cooling, a technique
to slow the movement of gaseous atoms in
order to better study them;' said Mencer.
"His work, along with that of Steven Chu
and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, has been
important in the advancement in the area of
low temperature physics:'
Mencer was also satisfied with how, aside
from giving the lecture, Phillips sat down to
have lunch with students and staff during
his visit to campus.
''.All of the students I spoke to about the
lunch meeting spoke highly of the event and
mentioned how comfortable Dr. Phillips
was able to make them feel;' said Mencer.
"He is very approachable:'

The Beacon - October 27, 2021

- TERRY JONES, from front
He encouraged students to be curious and
expose themselves to ideas from different
creatives and fields and to take those ideas
from others and apply them to the areas of
study students are working in.
Pierce commented on the impact of
Jones's responses during the Q&amp;A.
"Mr. Jones was very gracious to sit with
honors students, Kirby scholars and some
students from our classes and brought a
lot of their questions down to the student
level to show them that everyone can be an
entrepreneur. He said it does not matter what
curriculum you're in, what area of study it is,
it is about persistence and bringing that idea
forward and into reality;' said Pierce.
For his lecture, Jones spoke to an audience
in the Darte Center as well as to an online
audience via Zoom.
As his lecture began, Jones told the story of
a limousine ride where the driver of the limo
was the owner of the limousine business.
The owner asked Jones to review his website
and Jones told him that he should create a
new one that experiments with elements he
was lacking, like pricing and booking.
"I said, 'how old are you?' he said, Tm
55' I said, 'that's too bad because if you
don't change I don't think you'll make it to
retirement;' Jones continued, "This was just
at the beginning of Uber. He didn't want to
change and unfortunately, a few years later I

got a notice that he went bankrupt. He went
bankrupt because he couldn't change:'
Jones used this anecdote to talk about
innovation and its importance. During his
lecture, he again talked about culture and
team serving as the two biggest components
of innovation and change. He talked about
the need to build a culture that promotes
failure as a learning experience. In addition
to that, he talked about his recruiter who,
when recruiting, would ask new hires who
the smartest person they knew was and then

go and try to recruit that person.
He also expanded on his earlier comments
on the generation of ideas and innovation.
"Today I think innovation can come
from anywhere in the organizational chart,
because everyone has access to information.
The best ideas I've seen over and over again
come from the bottom of the organization,
the customer service rep, the salesperson,
the person on the line making the product:'
He went on to explain that innovation
that comes from the top-down is orderly but

dumb, and innovation that comes from the
bottom-up is chaotic but smart. The biggest
obstacle he explained is something called
the Bozone layer.
The Bozone layer, as Jones describes it, is
middle management stopping good ideas
from moving up. Jones explains that when
employees are not rewarded for change,
the Bozone layer starts to kick in and kills
innovation from the bottom up.
Jones concluded his lecture with another
round of Q&amp;A, this time from a larger
audience. He gave more advice to both
students and community members, some
of who were in the process of starting their
own businesses.
John Pezzolanti, a senior engineering
management major and Kirby scholar of
project management, client outreach and
engineering said, "It was a great opportunity
to help plan the Kirby lecture along with
the rest of the Kirby scholars and Wilkes
administration. It was also a great honor
to be chosen to give the introductory
remarks. I learned how to deal with failure
with projects and what investors look for
when choosing investments. It was a great
experience talking with Mr. Jones. It was
inspiring to hear about how to move past
failures and hearing all his experiences:'

Creative Writing Office offers ((Writing our" every Thursday
By Maddy Kinard
Staff Writer

Every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
the creative writing graduate office, located
in Cox Hall, is offering a "Writing Hour" in
which any student, faculty or staff can utilize
this quiet space in order to accomplish work.
When writing, many find that they need
a change of scenery or a change of company.
Cox Hall is seeking to be this space to respark motivation and inspiration for writers
on campus by offering that change of pace
that may be necessary for accomplishing
tasks.
David Hicks, director of creative writing,
finds this sentiment to be true as he has
noticed it in his own life.
"The common perception of writers is that
we're all a bunch of loners, but while there's
some truth to that (we tend to be introverts),
in reality we thrive in community;' said
Hicks.
Inspiration for the writing hour also stems
from the writing community on campus,
which is a bit of a secret as Hicks alludes to.
"Over a dozen of our staff and faculty

members have graduated from our Creative
Writing graduate program, and judging
from our literary magazine, Manuscript,
we have some excellent writers in our
undergraduate student populations as well;'
said Hicks. "What they all have in common
is that they wish they were writing more
often. So, we have this beautiful mansion as

our office space, with several quiet roomswhy not turn them into writing spaces?"
Students present on the first "Writing
Hour" this past Thursday anticipate
returning to the space as they found they
were able to get work done while present.
"It's nice to have a captive audience. So
if you can get other people to come with

e eacon m1 y
Farnell! and Martinez get creative during the "Writing Hours".

you, it's fun:' said Darren Martinez, senior
English major.
Senior English major Fenn Farnelli also
agrees with the positive response for a space
to do work outside of the usual dorm.
"It's pretty neat;' said Farnelli. "This hits
the vibe for places I like to be to do work:
empty, quiet:'
The creative writing office would also
like to expand time spent in the lounge
and two other available conference rooms
to Tuesdays club hours as well. Outside of
Thursday's "Writing Hour;' Cox Hall also
offers other spaces so long as students honor
it as a quiet space for writing. One of the
aforementioned conference rooms, located
right inside the front door, is available every
day of the week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No
appointment is required and is free for use
so long as the space is not being used as a
classroom.
While working, Cox Hall also offers free
coffee, tea and snacks for anyone who is
visiting.
"Just step into our kitchen and help
yourself;' said Hicks.

Diversity and Inclusion Conference continues annual tradition
By Zach Paraway
Staff Writer
For the first time in two years, Wilkes was
able to host the annual Diversity and Inclusion
Student Conference on Oct. 24.
It was the fourth time this event was held
and six speakers, along with the keynote
speaker, spent the day presenting topics
ranging from the experience of Black men to
the biases oflanguage and privilege.
The first session was held by the keynote
speaker of the day given by Dr. Cassandra St.
Vill. Vill works out of her home in Maryland
and is currently a high school teacher and
professor of social sciences. Her work has
led her across the world and with her five
degrees has been at the forefront of seeking
progression for black people.
Vill gave her speech over Zoom and started
with a tour of her home. She showed the room
she was in, and what everything in that room
said about her. She had stuffed animals that
represent her emotions and the importance
of having all of them. One stuffed animal
included Sadness from the animated movie
«Inside Out:'
As Vill moved the camera, the upper
part of her wall showed pictures and quotes
from famous activists in history. One she
highlighted was from Malcom X, the quote
from him being, «The future belongs to those
who prepare for it today."
Vtll used this to seque into the main idea

of her speech, something she repeated
throughout much of her presentation.
«Don't put flowers on my tombstone, help
me plant the garden today;' was the theme
of the session. Vill explained the quote in
reference to world leaders. She said they don't
need anymore people to admire them, and
instead they need people to fight with them
and support them.
Vill continued and integrated this
explanation into the Q&amp;A portion. Instead
of answering the questions given to her, she
had students answer their own questions to
show that they have just as many answers
to problems as she does. Vill would give her
ideas in response to the questions, but the
point of her method was to highlight the
power students have. The method of question
answering was seen as eye-opening for those
who attended, as people from all different
backgrounds were giving answers to the
problems of today.
Students were then given the choice of two
different sessions. One session was «The Black
Male Experience" given by Wilkes alumnus
Woodly M. Augustin. The presentation
gave Black students a chance to share their
experiences together, some of which were
hard to speak about, and explain how those
experiences that they go through are different
than counterparts of different races.
The presentation opened with a vi eo that
students felt was powerful. In th Video, a man
was jogging 2.3 miles and decided to wear a
~

Dr. Mia Briceno gave a presentation on bias and prlvledge during the
Diversity and lncluslon Conference.

mask for the whole trip instead of the first
mile like he normally would. He said it was
still running, but running at a disadvantage,
or running while knowing one would have to
work twice as hard.
The man told the story of Ahmaud Arbery.
Arbery was a 25-year old Georgian man
who was shot and killed by three white men
who pursued him while he was jogging. The
comparison was made that being a black man
in America is like jogging with a mask, which
makes everything much harder.
Augustin then talked about what colorism
has done to Black society, explaining that
the arguments that colorism creates inhibits
Black people from fighting for their justice
when they are fighting within their own
communities.
Augistin ended the presentation with the
importance of mental health and having a hold
on it. It is a stigma in the Black community
to not get therapy and instead deal with
problems independently. Black men also have
the secondary stigma as many men have a
stigma against therapy and mental health.
To anyone dealing with issues such as these
or any on campus at all, students can visit
the Health and Wellness Center to talk to
therapists that are on campus.
The last session was a~out privilege and
was given by Dr. Mia Briceno, an associate
professor of communication studies at Wilkes.
The presentation began with an activity, where
each member of the audience took a bag and

walked around the room to the papers on the
wall that had different phrases about privilege
in the country. Each paper had seven phrases
and for every phrase that applied students
would put a candy in their bag.
Once the activity was over, everyone had
pieces of candy. While some students had
more pieces, all had the same general number.
Briceno used this as a metaphor to highlight
that everyone has privilege in some way.
After this activity, many people in the
audience shared their experiences of biases.
This activity and the following discussion
showed that everyone has different privileges
compared to others, but understanding what
that difference in privilege is, is necessary.
Learning and understanding privilege is a
tool for growth.
Erica Acosta, director of Diversity
Initiatives, said, "The Fourth Annual
Diversity &amp; Inclusion Student conference
is an opportunity for students to engage in
conversation about diversity and social justice
topics.The conference is also an opportunity
for our students to network with other
students from other universities/colleges:'
She continued, "The theme was 'Education
is Key' because I feel education is important.
It's important because education can open
doors for our students in marginalized
communities.

· Celebrating the service and memory of Colin Powell
By Genny Frederick
News Editor

General Colin L. Powell, former United
States secretary of state, died on Oct 18. His
family reported on Facebook that his death was
the result of complications from COVID-19.
Powell also had multiple myeloma
and
Parkinson's
disease
and
his
immunocompromised health put him at
greater risk once contracting COVID. He was
84 when he died.
Powell was born in 1937 and was raised in
the South Bronx. He attended college at the
City College of New York. During his time in
college, he was also a member of ROTC and,
upon graduation, received both a bachelor's
degree in geology as well as a commission as
an Army second lieutenant.
He served two tours in Vietnam and, during
the second tour, earned the Soldier's Medal
for bravery after surviving and then rescuing
three others from a helicopter crash.
Powell returned to the United States and
had his first position working with a president
when President Richard Nixon appointed him
a White House Fellowship.
Powell then traveled to Germany to
command the V Corps in Frankfurt,
Germany. It was here that Lt. Col. Mark Kaster,
professor of earth and environmental science
and veteran's counselor, met Powell during a
briefing.
When asked about his experience serving
under Powell, Kaster said, "He was a soldier's
soldier. Powell looked out for his troops. They're
the priority. When you're a commander, you
want to make sure your people are taken care
0£ And when they're taken care of, they'll go

the extra distance, the extra mile. They'll do
those things that by themselves, they would
think are impossible, but with good leadership,
you can take the hill:'
During Ronald Reagan's presidency, Powell
was the National Security Advisor. Notably,
he took part in negotiations with Mikhail
Gorbachev over arms treaties. During the
presidency of George H. W Bush, Powell
was appointed a four-star general, serving as
commander in chief of Forces Command He
served in this position only briefly as he was
appointed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff by Bush.
Powell was the youngest officer and first
African American to have this position.

f

During Powell's time as chairman that the U.S.
was involved in conflicts such as the invasion
of Panama and Operation Desert Storm.
Dr. Andrew Miller, associate professor of
political science, remarked on Powell's work in
foreign and military policy.
"The most important contribution of Colin
Powell was his formulation of the Powell
Doctrine, which argued that before any
military action is taken, there should be clear
foreign policy goals, o
helming strike
capability and public support;' said Miller.
After spending much time in politics, many
thoughthew9uldputinabidforthepresidency.
However; Powell explained his distaste for
politics pfevented him from running. Instead,

he was appointed as Secretary of State under
George W. Bush and held the position as the
first Black secretary of state.
The biggest stain on his record came
during his time as Secretary of State when
he claimed that there was proof that Iraq was
holding weapons of mass destruction. In a
United Nations meeting in 2003, Powell cited
Iraqi defectors as proof that weapons of mass
destruction were being created and stored by
Saddam Hussein.
Senate reports and other investigations
found that this speech was composed of false
information created to gain international
support for an invasion of Iraq. In 2004 he
testified before the Senate Governmental
Affairs Committee reporting that these
weapons were not likely to be found.
While Colin Powell's life included much
military and political work, his legacy lives on
outside these areas. One of which is the Colin
Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership
at the City College of New York. The school
houses the social science departments,
leadership development and public service
programs.
The school mourns the loss of Powell, and in
an online statement, told how he would never
miss a graduation and would "show up early
to meetings on campus so that he could stand
in front of Shepard Hall and meet students as
they walked by. Heu hear their stories and tell
them his own:'
Powell's long career can be seen as one of
service to the country and its people.
"We lost a national treasure:' said Kaster.

CCDI holds virtual career, grad school and internship fair

Wilkes University Center for Career
Development and Internships hosted its
annual Career, Grad School and Internship
Fair on Oct. 21. The fair ran from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. virtually.
Students registered for the event on
Handshake. After registration, students signed
up for one-on-one events or group sessions
that were available during the event. The virtual
aspect created more flexibility for students.
The virtual event was created in hopes to
keep the students and community partners
safe during COVID-19. This virtual medium
also allowed students and employers to speak
to each other without their masks on.
"I was able to express a part ofmy personality
during the meetings instead of submitting
a paper resume;' said sophomore political
science and history major Kaelin Hughes.

"rn

see full faces for once:'
In total, 319 students registered for the event,
and 132 employers were also in attendance.
Employers came to Wilkes from as nearby ass
a few blocks away and asfar as California.
Grad schools included Wilkes, West
Chester, Widener and DeSales. Hughes spoke
to Widener and Wake Forest in regards to their
graduate law programs.
"It benefited me a lot especially in what I
want to do after my undergraduate career;'
said Hughes.
Some employers included the Times Leader,
the US Navy and Deluxe Digital.
Digital Deluxe, located in California hosted
a hiring session during the event. Bryan
Stevens explained that two of his teams had
hiring positions.
"We do a lot of work for Disney Plus and

HBOMax," sai'd Stevens m
· the group session.
·
The virtual medium can be difficult. Some
employers and students encountered problems
such as miscommunication of links for the
event
The event was live via Handshake, an app
that allows students and employers to network
remotely. However, a Zoom link was also sent
out in case of troubleshooting. Some students
and employers experienced confusion between
the two links.
"Next time we will make sure to send links
out a few days prior to the event and explain
thoroughly on what the link is for;' said Sharon
Castano, director of internships and parent
programs.
"Of course, it is much more pleasant to talk
with someone face to face, but we just have to
do our best for now. I am hoping for a hybrid
style fair next semester;' said Castano.
Castano and the rest of the CCDI office are

The fair will have two parts: one in person and
one online. Offering both options will allow
interested students and employers who cannot
travel or attend these events in person to still be
able to communicate with each other remotely.
Regardless of the issues, the event had a
big turnout. In 2019 Castano explained that
the in-person fair almost hit 500. During the
pandemic, numbers went down, but for 319
this year, it is a bigger turnout than expected.
"Were hoping to have over 500 students
attend the spring," said Castano.
With the numbers of attendants rising, the
spring turnout looks promising.
The Center for Career Development and
Internships is hosting an open house on Nov.
5 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. More information
about this open house can be found through
wilkes.edu or to visit the Center itself for more

Programming board hosts its annual Fall Fest event
By Jordan Danlel
Life, Arts &amp; Entertainment Editor

On Oct. 21, Programming Board held
its annual Fall Fest event on the greenway
for students to attend and enjoy some fallrelated activities. Many came out to take a
break from their busy schedule, play games
and eat some delicious free food.
"I hope that this event would be a nice
break from routine for students:' said
junior pharmacy major and president of
Programming Board Maddy Yeager. "I also
hoped that the event would promote a sense
of community on campus:'
Fall Fest is a combination of many fall
festivities, such as cornhole, a pie-eating
contest and a donut on a string contest. A
s'mores station, a caramel apple station and
a dinner that included macaroni and cheese
and pulled pork were provided. There was
also a photo booth, a Plinko board, a mini
pumpkin patch and pumpkin painting.
"My favorite activity of Fall Fest is probably

'

the mini pumpkin patch and the pumpkin
painting;' said Yeager. "It's something
different to do and I end up leaving the event
with a cool keepsake that I made:'
Past Fall Pests have garnered 100 to 1SO
students; therefore, programming board was
prepared to host the same amount of people
for this year's Fall Fest. Almost every student
who showed up was excited and they seemed
to have participated in all the events.
"Based on talking with friends, one of the
activities I think students were the most
excited for was the pie-eating contest;'
said Ellie Preiss, a sophomore mechanical
engineering and physics double major and
small events chair on Programming Board.
Since the event started at 7 p.m. it was
getting dark outside on the greenway.
However, that did not stop people from
enjoying their time with their friends, eating
food, dancing to music and doing some fall
activities.
"I went to Fall Fest because I thought
it would be a fun way to spend time with

at Fall Fest. Marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers and skewers were
provided by programming board so students could make their own yummy
s'mores.

friends;' said junior biology major Hera
Mukhtar. "I think the most fun activity was
watching the different competitions:'
Additionally, the events that Programming
Board hosts are great for students because
they are usually always free and it is a way
for the whole campus to feel a sense of
community. Those who missed out on Fall
Fest and are still looking to get in on the fall
fun should consider going to events that are
associated with Freak Week.
Programming board's Freak Week is an
annual event and usually occurs during
the last week of October. This year it began
on Oct. 25, with a Mocktail Monday and
a zombie mocktail vendor in the Henry
Student Center.
On Tuesday, there was a Murder Mystery
event at 7 p.m. on Zoom. Students were
able to work together to figure out who
the murderer was. A door prize was also
available to those students who attended.
Wednesday is a Paint and Sip in the
ballroom of the· Heiiry Student Center at 7

p.m. This event has a maximum of 50 people
who can attend, so sign up at the welcome
desk in the Henry Student Center as soon as
possible if interested.
The next day, Thursday, is Trick or Treat
Bingo, and students are encouraged to wear
their costumes to be entered in and win a
bonus bingo board.
Trick or Treat Bingo will be at 7 p.m. in the
ballroom of the Henry Student Center.
The last day of Freak Week, Friday, is a
giveaway happening at 11 a.m. in the Henry
Student Center. In order to receive the
giveaway, students must have three out of
four places hole punched on a punch card
given out at the other events happening at
the beginning of the week.

other Programming Board events, follow

Halloween Treat: Doggy Delicacies' mini PB apple bite snacks
By Emlly Cherkauskas
Editor-in-Chief

An important part of the Halloween
season is trying all the delicious treats
and snacks that fit the spooky theme of the
holiday. If your dog is uncooperative with
costumes, this simple treat recipe will allow
your pup to enjoy the Halloween season
regardless.
Ingredients:
2 apples
1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
Pretzel sticks
Mini dog treats
Directions:
First, clean your apples. In order to
make the mini apple bites, you can use
a cookie dough scooper, melon baller or
spoon.
Use your tool to carefully cut out the
bite-sized pieces. Be careful to not cut too
deep into the apple and gently cut to avoid
too much apple juice leaking out.
Rinse the apple bites to wash away the
juice. As they are drying, you can move on
to the next step.
Combine the peanut butter and coconut

oil in a small cup, deep enough to dip the
apples in. Heat them in the microwave
for up to 30 seconds to let the coconut oil
melt. Mix together until homogenous.
Take the pretzel sticks and stick them
into the apples. Let the skin of the apple
act as the bottom of the bite so stick the
pretzel into the apple's flesh.
Holding on the pretzel stick, dip the
apples into the peanut butter and let the
excess drip off. You might have to give the
apples a gentle shake to get some of the
excess away.
Due to the number of apple bites and
their sizes you can simply place them on a
plate to let them harden. Once nothing is
dripping, place them.
You can also stick small dog treats onto
the apples. You might have to use some of
the peanut butter to act as an adhesive.
Refrigerate the apple bites until they are
fully cooled and hardened.
Notes:
I recommend using gala apples for their
sweetness but it can depend on what your
dog prefers.

Students share unique ways to get in the Halloween.spirit
Many are excited to celebrate their favorite holiday
By Lauren Gardner
Staff Writer

Halloween is here again. People of all
ages enjoy Halloween as there is so much
to do this time of the year.
Haunted houses, pumpkin patches,
apple picking, hayrides and corn
mazes are just a few common favorites.
Northeastern Pennsylvania is surrounded
by beautiful mountains, which makes this
time of the year always scenic as the leaves
change colors. Plus, children always look
forward to the time of year when they
can choose to dress up as their favorite
character and go trick-or-treating.
After all, who doesn't like free candy?
Although COVID-19 has made it
challenging to keep the tradition of trickor-treating alive, it is always something to
look forward to.
While children enjoy these activities,
adults look forward to annual pumpkin
spice lattes and hard apple cider. During
this time of year people also enjoy football
games, especially the community here on
campus.
There are several local farms that
offer a variety of activities.
So m e
of these activities include
picking apples and picking
pumpkins.
"Carving
pumpkins and
sitting around
a campfire with
family
and
friends on a
chilly night
is always
fun;'
said

their favorite creators' TikToks on
Halloween outfits and click the Amazon
link, which will lead them to the exact
outfit or accessory that they would like to
replicate.
"I love seeing the creativity of other
costumes and I enjoy dressing up and
having a good time with my friends;'
said junior computer science major, Tori
Duffy. "Fall is definitely my favorite
season."
Whether it is enjoying a pumpkin spice
latte or dressing up with your friends, the
fall season and Halloween is a great way
to come together and make memories.
"My favorite thing about this time of
year is being able to drink lots of apple
cider and wear comfy clothes;' said
junior nursing major Lizzy Antes. "I
also celebrate Halloween by dressing up
and hanging out with my friends. I look
forward to sitting by the fireplace and
watching movies:'
Other fun things people enjoy are the
Halloween pop-up stores.

communication studies alum, Maria
DiBou.
DiBou also enjoys all of the fall foliage
that Northeastern Pennsylvania has to
offer.
Moreover,
some
more
indoor
Halloween activities that people enjoy are
watching Halloween movies.
"I love watching bad vampire and sci-fl
movies from the 1970s and 1980s during
this time of year:' said communication
studies alum, Toni Pennello.
Carving pumpkins on the morning of
Halloween is a tradition of Pennello.
Halloween parties and costume
contests are always a fun way to celebrate
Halloween with friends.
Halloween
is a holiday people enjoy because it
allows them to get creative and express
themselves. People get to collaborate
with their friends by wearing matching
costumes, dressing as their favorite
characters and of course, taking pictures
for Instagram.
While most people purchase their
costumes at the Halloween stores that
pop up during this time of the year,
thrifting different pieces for your costume
has been increasingly popular
throughout th
last several
years. To find inspiration for a

"I love Spirit Halloween and Halloween
City;' said musical theater and creative
writing alum Madison Black. "Just seeing
a variety of other stores designate an area
to costumes, candy and other scary decor
is my absolute favorite:'
Black usually celebrates this time of
the year by getting together multiple
Halloween costumes for a variety of
parties or attending "The Rocky Horror
Picture Show:'
"This year, I am unfortunately working
every single weekend in October for a
Halloween event at my work;' said Black.
However, this does not stop her festive
Halloween spirit. As Black is employed by
Great Wolf Lodge, each night she tries to
do an elaborate or eccentric face painting
for the children at her job.
This goes to show that, despite
restrictions or other obligations, it is still
possible to enjoy Halloween, even in the
simplest of ways.

Step 3: Continue making the
pumpkins repeating the previous
steps untll there are enough to fill
the garland.

Step 4: Thread the twine through

Halloween is almost here, and that
means it is a perfect time for one more
spooky DIY decoration.
This pumpkin yarn garland is easy to
do and is perfect for a last-minute party
decoration that is sure to amaze your
Halloween party guests.
·
The required supplie
r the pumpkin

hand, wrap it around the middle in front
and back through the middle and ring
fingers to meet the other end in the back.
Tie a knot with the two ends of the
yarn wrapped around the spool. Once
there is a knot at least holding it loosely
together, pull the yarn off of the hand
and tie this knot tighter. Double knot it
as tight as it can be.
Cut any excess yarn left from making
the knot or any stray pieces. Next, adjust
the yarn ball to spread it out so that the
two halves meet.

This should create a somewhat
flattened ball with the yarn that resembles
the general oblong shape of a pumpkin.
Adjust any stray pieces of yarn to get the
desired shape.
Now, it is time to make the stem.
Grab the green pipe cleaner and cut
it into thirds. Thread the pipe cleaner
through the middle string, holding the
pumpkin together on top by the knot
that was made. Fold the pipe cleaner in
half around the string and wrap it around
itself so that it becomes one stick.
Then, bend the pipe cleaner over to
create a stem shape. Each stem can be
different and unique on each pumpkin.
Some can be short, long, have multiple
twists, etc.
The pumpkin should definitely be
apparent at this step. Do any final
adjustments to get the desired pumpkin
shape.
Repeat these steps for the amount of
desired pumpkins for the garland. This
can be time-consuming and tedious,
but it is relaxing, which makes it a nice
spooky stress reliever.
Once there are enough pumpkins, it is
time to make the garland. Grab the twine
and thread this through the middle string
on each pumpkin underneath where the
pipe cleaner is placed.
Thread each pumpkin onto the twine
and adjust the spacing of the pumpkins
as desired. The garland can be short and
have the pumpkins close together, or
they can be longer with them being more
spaced out.
Once the pumpkins are all on the
garland, cut the excess twine and feel
free to display that final spooky touch for
Halloween.

EARTHSHOT, from front
By 2030, the Earthshot Prize hopes to
protect and restore nature, clean the air,
revive the oceans, build a waste-free world
and fix the climate.
The council, which selects the finalists
and winners of the prizes, is composed
of 15 influential individuals who are
committed to campaigning positive actions
in the environment. The Earthshot Prize
ceremony completed a 10-month global
search with more than 750 nominations
around the world.
The winners each receive £ 1 million
($1.4 million) in prize money, a medal
and a network of support to produce their
environmental solutions. The finalists will
receive tailored support to help scale their
solutions and create a huge impact with
their groundbreaking work despite not
winning the award.
The Republic of Costa Rica won the
Protect and Restore Nature award, Takachar
won the Clean our Air award, Cora Vita
won the Revive our Oceans award, The
City of Milan Food Waste Hubs won the
Build a Waste-Free World award and Aem

Celebrities joined Prince William and
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, on
the red carpet including Emma Watson,
Emma Thompson, David Oyelowo, Jessica
Oyelowo, Mo Salah, Dani Alves, Joana Sanz,
Yemi Alade, KSI, Sadiq Khan and Saadiya
Khan. At the event, Emma Watson was the
biggest celebrity to turn heads.

Life, Arts &amp; Entertainment

Until this event, Watson had not been
on the red carpet since the premiere of the
movie "Little Womer{ in 2019. Watson is an
English actress and activist who has gained
recognition for her roles in blockbuster and
independent films.
She is known for her acwve participation
in womens rights but is best known for

her acting in the films "Perks of Being a
Wallflower;' "Beauty and the Beast,, and the
"Harry Potter,, frapchise.
Watson's outfft made a large statement in
regard to the goal of the Earthshot Prize,
which is to save the planet and care for
the environment. Watson wore an outfit
by London designer Harris Reed, who is

known for designs that do not conform to
a specific gender.
According to Harper's BAZAAR, Watson
wore a white gown with black flared
trousers. The dress had an open back,
floral detailing and a tulle skirt made of 10
upcycled wedding dresses from Oxfam.
"I really like the white lace cut at the
shoulders along with the open back;' said
Jaden Greco, a sophomore pharmacy major.
"I think the front may contain too much
material at the chest which draws away from
hair and makeup but overall a beautiful cut
and color for her complexion and haircut:'
However, Watson was not the only one
serving up looks on the red carpet. The
Duchess of Cambridge wore a memorable
red carpet look that was previously worn in
2011.
The Duchess wore a lilac Alexander
McQueen dress that features a wide boat
neck collar and is cinched around the
waist with an elaborate belt. This dress was
created by one of the royal family's favorite
designers, Sarah Burton.
Meanwhile, Prince William contrasted
with an emerald green blazer that was
layered over a black turtleneck and black
trousers.

Viral TikTok dog determines people's days, mental health
Learning how to make the most of a "bones day" or "no bones day"
By Cassidy Taylor
Staff Writer
If you have not already heard of
Noodle the Pug, you are going to want
to get familiar with what a "bones day,,
or "no bones day,, is. Head to Jonathan
Graziano's account (@jongraz) on the
TikTok app and you will see that, every
morning, Noodle's owner checks to see if
his 13-year-old pug woke up with bones
or not and shares the video on TikTok.
Graziano picks up Noodle's body and
sits him up, and if the pug falls right back
over, that means it is a "no bones day;' and
if he stays sitting up, that means it is a
"bones day:' This silly idea has taken over
TikTok, and people are making decisions
about their day based on what Noodle
does in these videos.

A ~'no bones day,, ~enerally consists_ of
relaxmg, self-care, kindness and bemg
comfortable. A "bones day,, is about
productivity, going out and t~ating
yourself.
Here are some ideas 9f what to do on
each type of day. Since a "no bones day,, is
meant for relaxing d self-care, they are
the best for staying tn comfortable clothes,
being at home and filling your own cup.
"No bones days,, are suitable to make
your state of well-being the top priority.
You can do simple things like light your
favorite candle, drink lots of water, catch
up on your favorite TV show or take a nap.
If you would like to take your "no bones
day,, one step further, you can do some
true meditation and self-reflection. Find
a comfortable place to sit where you can
have your feet on the floor and your back

straight. Having your feet placed firmly
on the floor helps to keep you grounded
and your back straight helps you to feel
powerful and more confident.
Then, close your eyes, inhale through
your nose for five seconds, hold your
breath for three seconds and then exhale
through your mouth for seven seconds.
Exhaling longer than you inhale can
actually help to lower your heart rate,
which lowers stress.
Spend some time doing this breathing
exercise, and once you feel ready, grab a
notebook and write down three things you
are grateful for, three things you are proud
of and three short-term goals you have.
You can save those goals and stash them
away to go after on the next bones day.
Some other great journaling prompts
to help you reflect on dur~ng your "no

bones,, relaxation are writing a letter to
your IO-year-old self, writing a letter to
your future self or answering the question:
"what does your life look like when you
are at your best?"
Many people feel that Noodle the
Pug and his "bones or no bones day,,
predictions have brought a lot of joy to
their lives.
"I just think it's a fun, cute way to
determine the kind of day you'll have,
kind of like a daily horoscope, except it's
an elderly pug;' said senior psychology
major, Alison Gardner. "The world is so
divided, but it's nice to see an elderly pug
that no one has ever met before bring
everyone together:'

'Halloween Kills'
Murderously good and nostalgic

By Hannah Simerson
Staff Writer

A week ago, the highly anticipated
"Halloween Kills" movie hit theaters
across the country. With Halloween right
around the corner, what better time for
the boogeyman to terrorize the big screen
again?
"Halloween Kills" picks up right where
"Halloween" (2018) left off. We follow
the three Strode women as they let their
guard down, believing they killed Michael
Meyers in an elaborate trap, only to put
their guard right back up again when they
realize that Meyers survived.
Once the town learns of his return
to Haddonfield, they fopn a mob of
protestors to ensure " that "evil dies
tonight:' What ensues is pure chaos until
the very last moment.
The film throws a bone to its fans by
bringing back some of the characters from
the 1978 film. Tommy Doyle, the young
boy whom Laurie is babysitting in the
original "Halloween" film makes another
appearance in the new adaptation.
Lindsey Wallace, another young child
whose babysitter was killed by Meyers,
makes her return to Haddonfield. Lonnie
Elam, Nurse Chambers and Sheriff
Brackett also join in this film.
"Halloween Kills" is laden with the
nostalgia that makes fans adore
the original films. The film
incorporates many flashbacks to
the original night of Halloween
in 1978. Audiences get an
unfamiliar perspective of
some of the events from that
night and learn more about
what makes Meyers tick.
There is something to be
said about the fact that this
series transcends the boundaries
of time. We entered the world of
Haddonfield, Ill., back in 1978, and
we are just as invested in 2021. This is

Dean's Deep DiVes: Yung Lean, the bard of a sad generation
By Dean Bowen
Staff Writer
The internet has provided a route to fame
for innumerable artists, especially in music.
Streaming services are more accessible to
independent musicians than ever and social
media provides a ready-made platform to
grow your esteem. The prototype for this
system looked far different, however. Out
of this early web of internet subculture and
innovation came Yung Lean, Swedish cloud
rap pioneer and pillar of internet music
subculture.
Lean's discography is vast, encompassing
ten albums, eight years and countless genre
shifts. This prolificity has not come without
a cost, for behind the music lies a story of
tragedy, drug abuse and finding meaning.
Through the following ten songs I will tell this
story, giving a chronological introduction to
the life and music of one of the most lasting
and talented names in alternative hip-hop.

acclaimed blend of cloud rap and Houston
drill, "Rodeo:' in the year after working
with SBE in Sweden. Sound thievery aside,
"Ghosttown'' is a demonstration of Lean's
ability to shift his sound at will, ignoring the
binds of genre and effortlessly providing hits.
4. "Hoover" - "Warlord"

Following the success of "Unknown
Death 2002:' Lean moved from Stockholm
to Miami, Florida. It was in Miami that
Lean's lifestyle rather quickly caught up to
him. While working on "Warlord;' Lean's
numerous drug addictions ended up nearly
killing him via an overdose. Immediately
following his subsequent hospitalization,
Lean's longtime friend and manager Barron

them that even during his hospitalization
they were all he thought about. The track also
features fellow SBE member Bladee, a poprap innovator in his own right. Underneath
the cheerful enamourment of "Hennessy
&amp; Sailor Moon'' and other tracks off "Frost
God;' however, it was becoming more and
more evident that Lean had not yet recovered
fully from the tragedy of Miami.
6. "Hotel in Mill&amp;'' - "Psychopath
Ballads"

Briefly escaping 'the Yung Lean title and
releasini ':Psychopath Ballads" in summer
2017 under an alteration of his real name
(jonatail leandoer96 being the chosen
pseudonym), Lean took this EP as a chance to

1. "Lemonade" - "Unknown Death 2002"

2. "Kyoto" - "Kyoto"

3. "Ghosttown" - "Unknown Memory"

"Unknown Memory'' is possibly the closest
thing to a proper rap album that Lean has
ever put out. Seeking a more mainstream
sound with his own twist on it, "Ghosttown''
was yet another evolution in form, with Lean
dropping his signature aloof delivery in
favor of a more pointed flow. "Ghosttown''
- also features a pre-superstardom Travis
, S~ott, who would go on to drop a critically

8. ~gony" - "Stranger"

Along with honesty comes pain, and
''.Agony" is the perfect embodiment. Quite
simply, this song hurts. Lean sings truthfully
over a stripped-down instrumental composed
mainly of an intentionally out-of-tune
piano, with a revitalized lyrical performance
unavoidable in its scale and ability. Lean even
finds time amongst his nuanced descriptions
of mania to fit in a poignant quotable, with
"Can't write a song, only do hooks:' Both
referencing a common criticism he received
in his earlier career and emphasizing his
inability to see anything through due to his
mental state. This displays a brutal candor
that Lean picked up on his journey to stability.
9. "Bender++Girlfriend" - "Poison Ivy"

Lean's time in the spotlight began early,
first gaining popularity on the internet in
2013 at the age of 17. "Unknown Death 2002"
was his first proper introduction as an artist,
and it delivered on that front. Produced
by fellow Sad Boys Entertainment (SBE)
member Sherman and featuring fellow Swede
Baba Stiltz, "Lemonade" is a demonstration
of Lean's ability to captivate the ear. Recorded
in a rudimentary home studio, what it
lacks in serious content it makes up for in
unreplicable creativity.
Released as a single in the months following
"Unknown Death 2002:• "Kyoto" was a
clear sign that Lean was refining his sound.
Enlisting another phenomenally talented SBE
producer in Gud, "Kyoto" is to this day Lean's
most popular track Finding his confidence
in success, Lean buzzes over a synthheavy beat, proclaiming his hatred towards
criticism, his love of recreational drugs and
his indifference towards fame. "Kyoto's" brief
stay as a mainstream hit further popularized
Lean, beginning a gradual accumulation of
stress and addiction that would plague his
career for years to come.

Philadelphia while touring "Warlord:' "Red
Bottom Sky" was a rejuvenation of Lean's
sound, proving he finally was taking himself
(and his art) seriously.

Machat was killed in a car accident. Upon
this tragic chain of events, Lean disappeared
into isolation in Sweden, leaving Gud and
Sherman to finish "Warlord:' It is haunting
to hear this startlingly manic, chaotic record
knowing the circumstances that it was created
in. Despite this, "Hoover" and "Warlord" as
a whole was a driving, invigorating change
in direction for Lean, proving that he could
develop his sound beyond cloud rap.
5. "Hennessy &amp; Sailor Moon" - "Frost
God"

Following the events surrounding
"Warlord;' Lean remained surprisingly
upbeat. Released in late 2016 about 10
months after "Warlord;' "Hennessy &amp; Sailor
Moon'' was the lead single for "Frost God:'
Delivering a potent ballad over an ethereal
beat, Lean reminisces over a lover, reminding

be more open and honest. "Hotel in Minsk" is
a stellar example of this shift, as Lean waxes
poetic about love, loss, and the pain that his
mental illness and addiction have caused
him over a simplistic piano beat. He seemed
to finally be opening up, a trend he would
continue to great esteem despite the inherent
somber nature of the resulting music.
7. "Red Bottom Sky'' - "Stranger"

With his reinventive tendencies in mind,
it was clear that "Stranger" was to be Lean's
biggest shift in sound yet, beginning with its
lead single. "Red Bottom Sky" caused a stir
upon its release, with a refreshing sound
and a refined focus. Over a gorgeous Gud
instrumental, Lean serenades the listener
with lamentations of loss, self-introspection,
and a reference to an attempted shooting
perpetrated on him and his friends in

Coming off the cathartic experience that
was "Stranger:' Lean sought yet another sound
to experiment with. He found his answer in
SBE member and producer Whitearmor, who
executively produced every song on "Poison
Ivy:' This focus allowed for a more detailed
delve into a gothic sound that he had touched
on before, with the second half of this splittrack especially showing both Whitearmor's
ridiculous ability at production and Lean's
ability to sound good on any instrumental he
chooses.
I 0. "Sunset Sunrise" - "Stan"
"Starz" gives the listener Lean at his
happiest, finally sober and relatively in
control of his demons. With the album art
being a simple lightly edited picture of himself
(borrowing a concept from his jonatan
leandoer96 run), the project is authentic
to its core. "Sunset Sunrise" is a standout,
with a hauntingly beautiful Whitearmor
instrumental supporting Lean's use of
religious metaphor to signify his departure
from his previous chosen subject of worship,
recreational drugs.
Rapping it up

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of
Lean's career is that although it spans over
eight years and counting, he is still only
twenty-five years old. He has the experience
and ability of a veteran with the energy and
drive of an unproven rookie and is sure
to continue to provide some of the most
sonically interesting music available. No
matter how much the industry shifts around
him, Lean will undoubtedly continue to be a
trailblazer for years to come.

Does Aaron Rodgers own the Chicago Bears? A clear answer
By Zara Lantzman
Staff Writer

On Oct. 17, Aaron Rodgers trotted into
the endzone for a rushing touchdown
of six yards at the bottom of the fourth
quarter.
As Rodgers did his iconic discount
double-check celebration, in the stands,
Bears fans flipped Rodgers off. Rodgers
then retaliated with a quote that will
never be forgotten.
'Tve owned you all my f-ing life:'
Rodgers said. "I own you. I still own you:'
Rodgers has a career record of 22-5,
6,208 yards and 57 touchdowns against
the Bears. One of those wins was against
the Bears in the 2010 NFC Championship.
Rodgers then went on to win the Super
Bowl.
The Bears and Packers have the oldest
rivalry in the NFL. The current record
for Packers versus Bears is 102-95-6 with
the Packers leading the series. Before
the Rodgers era, the all-time record for
Packers versus Bears was 80-90-6 with
the Bears leading the series. Rodgers

completely turned this entire series
around with the Bears.
Every game for Rodgers against the
Bears is special. One of the greatest games
he has ever played was on Nov. 9, 2014.
The game was known as the "Sunday
Night Massacre:'
The Packers led the Bears 42-0 at
halftime. Halftime. Rodgers threw for
315 yards and 6 touchdowns in one half.
That is unheard of. The Packers ended up
winning that game with a final score of
55-14.
One of my all-time favorite Rodgers
versus the Bears moments was a week
one opener on Sunday night football on
Sept. 10, 2018. A game that can never be
forgotten.
Rodgers was coming off a season where
he was out due to a broken collarbone.
With nine minutes left in the second
quarter, the Packers were down to the
Bears 10-0. Rodgers got sacked by
defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris
and injured his knee
he play. Packers
backup quarterback Deshone Kizer came
in for the injured R~gers and fumbled

on his first drive. Kizer's next possession
ended in an interception for a touchdown.
The Packers were down 17 -0 at halftime.
After being carted to the locker room
before the half, Rodgers then comes back
onto the field, walking on one leg and
gets the biggest standing ovation he has
ever had.
You can see the fear in Bears fan's eyes
when he walked in. The Bears' first drive
of the half ended in a field goal, and the
game looked over after the Bears had a
lead of 20-0. That, however, was far from
the truth.
Rodgers on one leg single-handedly
brought the Packers back from the deficit.
The Packers only scored a field goal on
their first drive but that one score started
to give them momentum.
At the start of the fourth quarter,
Rodgers threw an absolute laser to the
back right corner of the end zone to
wide receiver Jieronimo Allison for a
touchdowrr: "
Following the touchdown, on the next
Packers drive, they scored again with
a touchdown pass for 12 yards to wide

receiver Davante Adams. The score was
20-17 with nine minutes left in the game.
The Bears got a field goal on their next
drive to bring the score to 23-17 with two
minutes left in the game.
Rodgers and the Packers started their
two-minute drill. The first play started
off with a dropped interception by Bears
cornerback Kyle Fuller.
In the very next play, wide receiver
Randall Cobb runs across the middle
of the field for a slant and takes it 75
yards for a touchdown. That touchdown
brought the final score to 24-23 Packers.
Aaron Rodgers, on one leg, brought the
Packers back from a 20-3 deficit going
into the fourth quarter. If that is not
owning the Bears, then I do not know
what is.
Aaron Rodgers owning the Bears is a
yearly occurrence as they play twice a
year. Rodgers will continue to own the
Bears until he retires. A record of 22-5
just says it all.

Why Wilkes should offer American sign lcinguage classes
By Lindsey Scorey
Opinion Staff Writer

American
Sign
Language,
the
predominant gestural language used by
the deaf community in the United States,
has become a dynamic part of creating
an inclusive society. Yet, many education
systems still lack sufficient classes in ASL
even though it is arguably just as much a
necessity as any other language.
I wish I could say I have always been an
outspoken advocate of ASL as a language
requirement or elective in schools, but
it began in high school when it was
finally offered as an extra-curricular
and was not sufficiently taught. Once an
individual passes puberty it is statistically
harder to develop fluent language skills.
However, ASL incorporates a variety of
expressional and spatial techniques that
can be beneficial at any age. If other
languages are learned at different points
in life, ASL seems to be no different, if
not better to take on now.
It is never too late to learn, as my
family and I are finally planning on
taking classes this coming year. I have a
baby cousin who will likely learn and use
ASL in the future. While I have always
wanted to have a background in ASL,
this circumstance feels like the perfect
opportunity to become more inclusive
and fluent.
I was thinking, however, that I wish I
could capitalize on the education I am
already paying for to fulfill this need.
This newfound realization made me
ponder, why do more universities and
colleges not offer classes in ASL?
I remember in my high school years
of competing in speech and debate, a
competitor and friend of mine had told
me she was going to university and
majoring in ASL. I can still remember the
fascination I had when she told me this
and I had yet to ever even take a class or
at the least self-learn through YouTube
and/or the internet in general. Since
then, my subtle research began.
The benefits of learning ASL are
numerous, whether it were to be offered
as a language requirement or elective
option at colleges and universities.
Inclusivity is typically first and foremost
on the minds of those learning it. Wilkes
does pride itself in being an inclusive and
diverse campus, so expanding disability
services to the deaf community and

those who wish to support through ASL
acquisition seems more than appropriate.
To disclaim this notion, I am not aware
of the full package of disability services
offered to individual students in the deaf
community here on campus, but for this
article's purposes, I am simply discussing
the broader education of ASL to the
campus as a whole.
In talking about inclusion, ASL also
enriches interpersonal relationships.
Whether it is through expanding learning
to new relationships or practicing better
communication with those in the deaf
community, it is an all-around win. ASL
has also been proven to create longterm cognitive skills, making it a mindstrengthening tool. If you wish to see all
the positive outcomes of ASL acquisition
just open the internet and watch your

similar to how other departments and
language courses run. Perhaps a basic
course, such as an ASL 101, could lay
down all the groundwork, fundamentals
and give a solid foundation for greater
learning just as with any other language.
Then it could expand to higher-level
courses. ASL could even become a minor
and so on, the educational domino effect
continues.
I would imagit?{, if this were brought
to fruition, m.ost students would choose
to take the 101 course only. Usually, when
a s dent takes a language class they do
not;come out a fluent speaker, but can at
least communicate and understand basic
phrases such as greetings and common
questions. ASL foundational classes
would be similar in that a student could
likely remember the alphabet or be able

time fly by, as there are many.
In communication studies, we always
discuss how to expand our audiences
and develop better skills in expression
and personal relations. ASL utilizes this
beautifully and allows all majors and
students to learn these techniques if it
were to be offered.
Now, I recognize this would require
the university to likely have to hire a new
professor and/or maneuver services and
language requirements, but this does
not seem too unreasonable a request.
It has been done in the past for other
departments, so why not continue the
enrichment?
If Wilkes were to offer ASL courses,
it feels only appropriate that it be done

to properly greet someone in the deaf
community after taking the class. This is
a win in my book, no matter how small.
But would the courses be popular? I
imagine making it an optional degree
requirement would give it just as
much popularity as Spanish, French
or philosophy, which are three of the
options as of now for those required to
take a language course.
As I began crafting the idea for this
article, many students had reached out
to me or said in passing how wonderful
it would be to have the option to take
an ASL class here at the university level.
Adding it to the normal semester course
load would take away that financial
barrier if it did exist. Many excuses, such

as ones I have even made for myself like
time or money, would become minute.
Danielle Morris, junior digital design
and media art major, believes that
bringing ASL classes to campus is a great
idea. Morris explained that the only
program she had offered for ASL was
in high school, lasting roughly an hour
a week and was not as thorough as she
would have liked it to be.
"If I had the option, I totally would
have taken it as my language requirement.
I didn't mind taking a language I was
somewhat familiar with from high
school, but college is all about trying new
things and broadening your horizons;'
she stated. "Even if it weren't offered as
a requirement option, I think having it
as an elective option gives students the
opportunity to learn something that
is not only out of their comfort zones
but also something that they may find
themselves using in the future:'
A fascinating and important point
that Morris brought up was the impact
of COVID-19 and mask-wearing on the
deaf community.
"I would assume it's even more
important now that people are able to
communicate with ASL because of mask
mandates - if someone who relies on ASL
can't read lips with masks on, I would
imagine it's frustrating to communicate
with someone who does not know ASL;'
said Morris.
Having students who know the basics
of communicating ASL and even some
hopefully who become fluent would
be a win-win for the university. Wilkes
provides a broader education curriculum
and also becomes more inclusive to
current and incoming students. It can
even become a great marketing tool
for bringing in students who have
hearing impairments and practice ASL
or even for those who have had similar
experiences to those mentioned and want
an educational experience in ASL.
Considering all the benefits and
possible solutions ASL could bring
to not just our campus, but all social
relationships and communities alike, it
feels like it should not be an if, but rather
a when we decide to implement ASL
instruction.

FH: Wilkes goes 2-0 on week against MAC Freedom opponents
By Baylee Guedes
Asst. Sports Editor

'

The field hockey team went 2-0 this week
in the MAC Freedom after beating King's
College on Oct. 20 and DeSales University on
Oct. 23.
"I knew this was going to be a big one
(game) and I expected to see King's have one
of their best games;' said head coach Charlotte
MacDonald. ''Any conference win always feels
good but beating a dose rival just added to it.
The game was a really strong team effort and a
lot of runs and work from all lines:'
The Wilkes and King's battle of the Barre
started off with multiple fouls for both teams,
leading to scoring positions on both sides of
the field. The Monarchs took eight shots on
goal but the Colonel's defense and sophomore
goalie Carly Eidle blocked all of the attempts.
The Blue and Gold attacked King's defense
with three strategic shot attempts, senior
forward Morghan Murphy drilled one in right
past sophomore Monarch goalie Ellie Glatz.
This was Murphy's ninth goal of the season
with an assist by first year midfielder Bridget
Rosenfeld.
"I knew early on we had to come out strong
and put one on the board;' said Murphy. "I
was able to do so by having a strong shot from
the top of the circle in our first penalty corner:'
The second and third quarters were
scoreless for both Wilkes and Kings. The
Colonels had three shot attempts to King's 11,
but both defenses fought back to keep the ball
out of the goal.
Penalties were called consistently on both
sides of the field as both teams were aggressive
on the ball in an attempt to claim the "Barre"
title. The fourth quarter's intensity brought
Wilkes to the winners circle as they held the
Monarchs to a scoreless match.
The final score read 1-0 and the Colonels
took the title of"Wilkes Barre:' The hometown
rivalry is always strong between Wilkes and
King's, but this win was especially important
for Murphy as her family consists of all King's
alumni.
'i\s the 'rebel' of my family, nothing feels
better than beating King's as the little familyfun rivalry,' said Murphy. "Every year, King's
brings their A game against us and tonight we
were able to fight back with a win:'
On Saturday, Wilkes hosted the DeSales

Bulldogs in a MAC Freedom conference
game. The Blue and Gold honored their five
seniors, Laura Bayzick, Ali Dunn, Laurel
Hopfer, Morghan Murphy, and Lauren
Shiplett, prior to the contest.
Eight minutes into the first, Wilkes'
sophomore midfielder Emily Latoski collected
a rebound on a Colonels shot attempt and

made it into the goal, making the score 1-0.
With 30 seconds left in the first, DeSales'
Taylor DeMasi followed Latoski's goal with a
shot ofher own, scoring on Wilkes' goalkeeper
Eidle.
"It felt like we were finally finding a
rhythm and playing our game;' said Latoski.
"Everyone contributed to my goal: the passing,

the defense, the mids, and then the forwards
made it possible. The communication from
Morghan and Ali helped tremendously. It was
definitely a team goal:'
The second quarter was big for Wilkes as
they scored two goals and held the Bulldogs
to none. First-year midfielder Kellie Scott
assisted Rosenfeld for a goal at the 19 minl\te
mark.
"We were very excited after beating King's;'
said Rosenfeld. "It was a huge conference win
for us and we wanted to use that momentum
to go into another huge conference game
against DeSales. Our team really clicked
today, everyone truly worked together and
played with heart:'
Moments after Rosenfeld's goal, senior
forward Ali Dunn assisted first-year defender
Olivia Gayoski on a crowded on-goal shot,
making the score 3-1 for the Colonels.
In the third quarter, the Blue and Gold held
the Bulldogs to their one point from the first
quarter. The defense put up a solid fight as
DeSales put up eight shots right at the start, all
of which were unsuccessful.
Wilkes made the gap in score larger as Scott
drove one in for the Colonels, leading the
score to read 4-1.
"I really try to emphasize a passing game
and today was our best execution of that;'
said MacDonald. "We created many goal
scoring opportunities and that was evident
with goals coming from all different scorers.
It was so rewarding to see the hard work and
investment from everyone come together
with a strong result like thaf'
Eight minutes remained in the fourth
quarter and DeSales' DeMasi scored off of a
pass from the 20 yard line for the Bulldogs.
Wilkes kept the ball out of the net on offense
and defense to end the fourth. The final score
read 4-2 as Wilkes came out on top.
Eidle ended the game with nine saves for the
Blue and Gold on DeSales' 21 shot attempts.
"It felt amazing to beat DeSales;' said
Rosenfeld. "We have not been able to (beat
them) in years and having a 4-2 win against
them on senior night really made it special. It
was an amazing team win and we especially
played hard for the seniors who deserved this
win:'
The field hockey team has one final in-season
game left, which will be played at home against
Misericordia University on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.

SWIM: Colonels look forward to in-person meets this season
By Arlel Reed
Sports Editor

The Beacon/Ariel Reed

Trey Harloff grins In between the sets of his 100 IM repeats on Oct. 7, 2020,
during one of their practices.

Wilkes swimming returns to the water
this year to compete against "real" teams for
the first time since the 2019-2020 season.
Last year, the teams competed virtually
due to the regulations outlined by the
Middle Atlantic Conference because of the
pandemic.
'Tm really looking forward to in-person
meets this year;' said he coach Thomas
Limouze. "I am really proud of how the team
handled virtual meets- last year, and I know
they're looking forward to getting back to
normal. Jast night I heard a sophomore
say, Tm e:rtited to see a new pool: So it's all
of those other parts of.competing in person
that I and I think the team are looking
forward to: the bus ride, highway scenery,
new places, other campuses and other
pools:'
The restrictions last year made the team
compete only at their home pool (the CYC)
and upload their times to the MAC where
they were then compared to the team they
were competing against.
"I think the impi!l:t of having in person
meets again is that now you are swimming
next to another
·mmer head to head
which drives you a lot more to go faster;'
said junior freestyle/IM Liam White. "With
virtual meets, it was just swimming and
timing yourself.'
Limouze also felt the importance of
having opponents to compete against to be
crucial to the results of the meet. However,

he does not believe that the
in-person
competition will automatically make the
team faster.
Senior Fly/IM Trey Harloff will be leading
this team as he is the returning record
holder for the 200 IM and a part of four
relay records (400 and 800 free, 200 and 400
medley).
"I am most looking forward to being
able to swim under a more normal setting
and perform at high-level competitions
including MACs and to challenge myself
and my teammates the best I can, while
enjoying and excelling in my senior year in
mechanical engineering;' said Harloff.
The men's team is looking to use
this season to improve upon their 11th
place performance in the virtual MAC
championship last season.
The women's team is small but mighty this
season as they are returning five swimmers.
Senior distance/IM Abby Keating is a 5th
year pharmacy student who holds seven
individual records, junior sprint/ distance
Alexa Crossgrove who holds five individual
records and senior captain Emilie Detweiler
look to lead this team to improve upon their
13th place performance in the virtual MAC
Championships last season.
The teams will travel for most of their
meets this year, but will be hosting Lycoming
on Jan. 22 at the CYC and competing against
the local colleges.

XC: Cross country making strides to finish the season strong
By Chris Gowarty
Associate Sports Editor
Similar to all other athletics at Wilkes,
the COVID-19 pandemic interfered with
the fluidity of the cross country team.
However, the team was able to compete
once again in the 2021 season, and has
adapted to the training and longer miles
of collegiate running.
Before 2021, both cross country teams
last ran competitive meets throughout Nov.
2019.Nov.2 was the MAC Championship,
followed by the ECAC Championship on
Nov. 9 and the NCAA Mid East Regional
Championship on Nov. 16th.
From that point from nearly two years
ago, the running Colonels did not see a
competitive meet until Sept. 3 of this year,
when they participated in the Misericordia
Invitational 4K.
"It was difficult to get back in the swing
of things;' said head coach Nick Wadas.
"We had a long layoff from competition.
In addition, with the absence of a track
and field program, our cross country
athletes had very limited competition. It
has definitely impacted our team:'
After their first meet, the Colonels next
ran on Sept. 18 ,once again at Misericordia
,with the 6k Cougar Classic, followed by
the Dickinson Long-Short Invitational
on Sept. 25. This meet was the DeSales
Invitational on Oct. 9, where Wadas saw
his team adjust to the longer distances of
collegiate cross country.
"My favorite meet so far was the

DeSales Invitational for various reasons;'
said Barlow. "I ran my goal for the 6k,
and it was my first 6k of the season. The
highs of this meet include getting top 30
overall1 obtaining my goal time of getting
a 24-minute 6k and making school history
as the 14th fastest women's 6k time:'
Not only is this season an adjustment
for first-year students, but it is also a new
challenge for sophomore runners. Because
of cancelled competition last year, 2021
is the first time that both first-years and
sophomores have represented Wilkes and
raced longer distances, compared to their
meets during their high school athletic
careers.
"Having a real season was challenging,
especially when the mileage was tough
from starting out;' said Dustin Edsall,
sophomore electrical engineering student.
"This was my first college athletic season
for cross country. It was very different
from running in high school due to the
increased mileage:'
After the DeSales Invitational, the
Colonels competed at the Inter-Regional
Border Battle on Oct. 16, followed by the
LVC Last Chance Run Invitati nal on Oct.
22.
"The DeSales invite was a good meet;'
said Wadas. "I saw a 15t of good racing.
We had a slow start in the race, but it is
a learning curve. Most of our team never
ran a 6k or 8k and they need to learn that
balance between going out hard enough
and running smart:'
They next compete at the Middle

Atlantic Conference Championships at
DeSales University on Oct. 30. The runners
are looking to train to be able to get a shot
at running at the NCAA Regionals.
"For the MAC Championship meet, I'm
putting in my miles for training and trying
to run my best during our workouts;' said
Edsall. 'Tm also staying hydrated and
mentally preparing to race at DeSales; I'm
ready to have another PR:'
Wadas hopes to see his runners
compete with confidence at
MACs in order to potentially
put them in a spot to run at
the NCAA Mid-Atlantic
Regional Championship
on Nov. 13 at Dickinson
College.
This will be the
Colonels last meet of
the season, finishing
a challenging yet
successful
year
after not competing
for 657 days.
"In terms of
MAC: believe in the
training and"'have a positive
mindset;' said Wadas. "They
need to control what they
can control. Eat well, hydrate
properly, sleep well enough,
bring a positive mindset and be
persistent:'

put everything we had onto the table;' said
jun· r linebacker Billy Doron. "We talked
to oor coaches, we reflected on ourselves,
and we came out in the second half much
stronger:'
The teams traded punts for much of
the second half. It felt like the next team
that scored would win. Thankfully for the
Colonels, they were able to deliver a final
blow to their opposition.
With just under four minutes left on
the clock, and Wilkes with the ball around
midfield, Jules broke for a run down the
left sideline after he broke a few tackles,
and scored a 49-yard touchdown to put the
game out
ach.
Jules was a tough man to bring down

all afternoon as he finished with 124 yards
on16 carries and three catches for 33 yards.
He was a force to be reckoned with, and was
able to deliver the knockout punch to LVC.
"I mainly just followed my blocks, and
had trust in the play;' said Jules. "I believed
the plays we were running were good calls,
and I knew we had leverage on the outside,
so I just followed the blocks and got to the
endzone:'
The Wilkes defense was able to keep
the Dutchman from putting a comeback
effort together. Their secondary was lockdown, while the defensive line pressured
Bohannon into making difficult passes.
The defense was stout the entire second
half, never letting LVC get into a rhythm
and score in the second half
'Tm happy to come out with a win, ready
to move on to next weekend, and continue
to improve on a day to day basis;' said
Drach.
Wilkes will look to build off this
momentum as they fight for a conference
championship as they travel to Williamsport
on Saturday to face Lycoming in another
MAC Freedom contest. The game will start
at 1 p.m. as the Colonels look for their
seventh win of the season.

you and I have something in common: We both graduated this year and

are entering the next phase of our lives. If you're like me, it's difficult to leave Wilkes because it is
such a special place. And yet it is time to move on to new things.
When I graduated from college, I wondered, "How will this work out for me?" It was a scary time,
venturing off into the unknown. The life I'd known at college - the life that I thought was so
wonderful -- was suddenly over. I found that it was important to think about that time as a beginning
instead of an ending. Though times are tough economically, I urge all of you to see this as a time of
great opportunity to think about what your passions are and pursue them. I am doing that myself as
I retire.
While you were at Wilkes, you might have found a new direction and succeeded at things you never
thought possible before you came to the University. Now it's time to celebrate
your accomplishments ,
.,,
such as earning a degree, an acceptance to graduate school or landing #first job in your chosen field.
It's also important to spend some time appreciating the relationships you've formed with faculty and
with your fellow students.
_,- ·
I'm doing much the same thing as I begin the next phase of my life. The accomplishments I'm
celebrating are ones I've helped to make happen while leading this University. The most visible one
is the new science building that will offer great new facilities for students and faculty. During my
time at Wilkes, we've also earned honors, such as the grant from the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute and grants to our facuity from prestigious organizations like the National Science
Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. There have been additions to our academic
programs - such as the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, four master's degree programs and ,
two doctoral degrees. We even showed that we could muster an Army of Colonels when the
community needed it after the September 2011 floods. For me, there is so much to celebrate and be
thankful for - just as there is for all of you.
-,-.:·"'

As I retire as president, it's time for me to decide what I'll be doing in the next phase of my life. I
want to continue my professional involvement as a consultant and perhaps write a book. But I also
remind myself of something that I want to share with you: be comfortable with uncertainty. Even as
you contemplate the future and make plans for the next chapter in your life, it's important to keep
your heart open to possibilities that haven't yet presented themselves. Experience has taught me that
those unforeseen challenges can offer some of the greatest opportunities of our lives.
Good luck to each and every one of you.

���Cross Country
The Colonels men's and women's
cross country teams opened up this
year in Kirby Park where they hosted

eighth out of 14 teams and the women
finished tenth out of 13. This allowed
them to compete at the NCAA
Division III Mideast Regionals where
the Colonels finished 38th of 4 7 and
the Lady Colonels finished 41 st of 4 7.

Wilkes picked up their first win against Arcadia who they shut out 1-0. Their next win, 2-0,
against Delaware Valley College, wouldn't come until after a couple of tough losses. With

�Football
Wilkes was expected to finish third
overall this season within the MAC.
They started off on a positive note by
having sophomore, Tate Moore-Jacobs,
named a Preseason All-American. Todd
Eagles, wide receiver, was named to the
MAC Honor Roll after his performance
in a tough loss against Susquehanna
University. Throughout the rest of the
season to follow fellow players;
Moore-Jacobs (2), Zach Tivald (2), Rob
Houseknecht, Andrew Regan were also
named to the Honor Roll. The new
football stadium was named in honor of
our legendary football coach Rollie
Schmidt, who had the third-longest
winning streak in collegiate football
history with a record of 32 straight
games. In the same day as the
renaming, the Colonels defeated
Widener 35-27 and Alex George was
named MAC Offensive Player of the
Week. They finished out the season
strong on senior day with a strong win
over Stevenson. Wilkes was proud to
name six to the All-MAC football teams.
Tivald , Ben Webb , Moore-Jacobs,
received first team All-Middle Atlantic
Conference. Eagles, Houseknecht, and
Regan were named to the second team.

�Students Cele
Last spring, you may have walked across the
Greenway and noticed a group of people running
around and throwing colors at each other. You may
have thought this was peculiar, right? Well, this is
completely normal in parts of India during this time
of year, because they were celebrating Holi. Every
year, Hindus celebrate the festival of Holi, best
known in the West as The Festival of Colors. Like
most events in the Hindu calendar, this festival has
many purposes, both religious and social. It is by far
the least religious holiday, but still one of the most
exhilarating celebrations. Holi celebrates the arrival
of spring, originally to commemorate the abundant
harvests from the fertile land. 1n modern times, Holi
has become a tradition to just celebrate during the
onset of spring. Although its social significance has
been altered over time, its religious purpose remains
intact-it honors events present in Hindu
mythology. The days looming to Holi are buzzing
with excitement and joy. The event takes place over
a period of two days; on the first day, which is Holi,
participants hold a bonfire (Holi means fire) to
honor the death of a demon in Hindu mythology,
and on the following day, known as Dhuletti
{dhoo-let-tea), colored powder is thrown at each
other to celebrate spring.

-What was the theme of this year's recital?
"The theme last year was focused on the end of the world
'
and had general dark undertones to it. Lynne Mariani's modern
piece rev9lved around the world ending 'in 201 f and used a very
intense instrumental piece. Usually the theme is based around
one of the pieces that will have the most impact on the audience
emotionally.
-How many hours a week do you dedicate to dancing?
"Each class I was taking involved three hours of rehearsal
in class and I was in Jazz and Modern so that is 6 hours of class '
time. I also learned a dance choreographed by Kris Cross, that&lt;- 1 . . ,
she taught to a few select dancers that met for an hour a week.
On top of that I was in four dance CO\llposition pieces that
students choreograph. Those required one hour a week as well.
So on average I was in the studio for 11 hours a week.
-What is the most rewarding part of being a dancer?
"Being on stage in front of an audience. Just like singing
you have to hit every note perfectly, in dance every move with
precision. But perfection is hard to achieve so my main goal is
to light up the stage. I love to perform and pl})ject my emotions ·
to the audience whether it is happiness.,
sadness, hist, anger or

anything in between. No matter what is going on in my life at

�A Minersville, PA native, Drebitko picked up skiing when he was five years old. It originally
started out as a family sport. But racing was found within his blood passed down from his father.
Skiing only became serious when he left baseball at Wilkes in 2011, to pursue competition. For
years Jon would only ski four to six times a year as a hobby. In the last two years though this
increased substantially to four to six times per week! A benefit of this was the opportunity to
travel. Some of the farthest slopes were Salt Lake
•
City, Utah; Copper, Colorado; Killington, VT;
and Okemo, VT. Jon's favorite slope is Solitude
in Salt Lake City. No wonder, it's one of his
favorites, it's ranked #3 for Best Powder and has
an annual snowfall .of 500 inches. With over
2,500 acres to j}{i on and 64+ runs it has ample
opportuniti~s for long days on the slopes. Skiing
is not,a .sport that is easy to fund. He easily
spends thousands of dollars to cover equipment.
gas, entry and organizational fees, and travel per
year. That's why Drebitko applied at Sno
Mountain to become one of their ski instructors
and pace setters. According to Professional Ski
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Instructors of America (PSIA) he is ranked level I
out of 3. With more training and experience he will move qHickly through the ranks. Working at
Sno Mountain has its advantages, it allows him to ski for free and receive pro forum discounts
from certain retailers. In his free time
Jon loves to still play baseball and swing a bat. He also
..,...
enjoys taking his dog for walks on the mountain and of course watching skiing whenever it's on
TV. John Teller is Jon's favorite ski cross racer but his all-time favorites are Bode Miller
(pictured) and Lindsey Vonn all of who compete on the US team.
Drebitko knows the true definition when it comes to speed. He's been
clocked between 6 5 to 7 5 mph during a ski cross race on some of the
international courses. Normally the speed reached depends on the type
and/ or discipline of the race. Jon had the chance to qualify for the
USASA Nationals Competition; which was hosted in April 2012 at slopes
in Copper Colorado. At Nationals he met competitors and coaches who
shared the same skiing passion and were willing to exchange ideas on
techniques. For most of the year Jon found himself ranked at #1 for the

History was made on the eve of January 21st.
The Wilkes Colonels and the Kings Monarchs
came head to head in a challenge that neither
side has seen before. The teams traveled to
the Mohegan Sun Area to participate in the
first annual Wilkes vs. Kings hot dog eating
contest. The stakes were high as Justin "The
Maniak" Franiak, Bryan "Wizzer" Wislosky,
"Amish" Phil Leid, Devin "Devo" Kane, and
Mark "So..l!_g Menace" Fowler entered the
packed arena during a Penguin's Hockey
game. When asked how he prepared for the
event, Phil said he fasted for 24 hours.
According to Bryan, Kings didn't even stand
a chance. In the end, Wilkes conquered 25
hot dogs in under 5 minutes and were
crowned the champions. Maniak Franiak's
technique was to "dip and shove". When
asked if he would have done anything
differently, Franiak said he would have worn
a tighter shirt.

�As Editor -in-Chief of the Amnicola yearbook, I am proud to say that the
2011-2012 school year has been one of our most successful. It is with that sentiment
that I would like to give my sincerest thanks to all of the members of the Amnicola
staff that helped to make this year's yearbook another great success in the Wilkes
University legacy.
First, I would like to thank our faculty advisor Jamie Miller. Jamie, it is fair to say
that without you this yearbook would not exist. You took on the arduous tasks of
balancing the budget and basically dealing with the administrative tasks that no one
else wanted to do. Most of all, anytime one of us had an idea, you did anything
within your power to facilitate us.

To Jesse Villella: Jesse, to say that you exceeded my exp~~tations of you this year
would be a huge understatement. I will admit that J,was unsure of how you would
perform this year as an editor. However, you ended up becoming the
right-hand-man and friend that I really needed. You always supported me one
hundred percent and for that I cannot thank you enough.
/'

To Melanie Nolt: Mel, you took on so many roles this year. You put yourself in
charge of not only all of the copy in this book, but also tl1e budget, as well as
personally contacting anybody that CO}lld possibly help·us make this book better. On
top of all of this, you came up witfi p~rsonally engineered special projects that had
never been done the yearbook before. It is this creativity, passion, and drive that
you not only displayed yourself but inspired in myself and the rest of the staff that
made this book possible.
To everybody else that helped with this book: Cora, Jasmine, Nipa, and Bobby you
all brought so many ideas and talents to the table this year. It is all of your creativity
and hard work that made this book possible. Thank you all so much for sticking
with me and the yearbook this entire year. I hope that you all bring the same
passion and ambition to the yearbook staff next year.
Thank you and good luck everybody!

Volume 54
Copyright 2002
The Wilkes University Yearbook

�hen you decided in high school that college was the right choice, did you ever imagine it
would be like what it is today? We see in the movies the sororities, the constant frat
parties, the completely disorganized and chaotic life of a college student. If this was really
true, colleges would have died out a long time ago.
By no means is college life a walk in the park. Attendance, quizzes, tests, final exams,
labs, papers, research... and those are just for the fifteen credits you take on each semester.
Add on the extra curricular activities you get yourself into:
writing for the Beacon, hopping on air with your very own radio
show on WCLH, joining the Psych Club, the Pharmacy Club, or
any club related to your major, going into politics with the
student government, or perhaps forming an underground
organization to fight for some student rights.
Then there are sports. Football in the fall, baseball and softball
in the spring. Training year round, making it to practices, revving
up for the big game.
And if that wasn't enough, then we have to worry about paying
for this whole experience. Some of us are lucky enough to get a
scholarship or a grant to make up some of the difference, but even
so, that only provides for room, board, and class.
So we go out and find a part-time job, either to help pay for our
education , or just so we have some cash on the weekends to pay
the cover charge at the clubs.
Class, work, activities, and your personal life all get crammed
into a few years where you are studying to become whatever it is
you wish to accomplish.
Sometimes it seems like an endless maze that you just won't
make it through, and other times you twiddle your thumbs
looking and hoping for something to do. Sleep for a few hours,
never getting enough, going to class, spending an evening at
work, practice or on occasion out with some friends, and
studying into the night, and then crashing for those few precious
moments, before repeating the whole process again.

Introduction

�Loice, did you ever imagine it
e sororities, the constant frat
lege student. If this was really
~e, quizzes, tests, final exams,
its you take on each semester.

f Wilkes was only about classes and majors
leading to a degree, what point would there
be in coming here? Wilkes is so much more
- we make friendships with our classmates,
attend parties, watch our sport teams win
and lose, and find ourselves as we are
about to embark into the real world.
Our first taste of Wilkes is Freshman Orientation, those few
days you spend in the summer learning about the campus so
that it isn't a total shock when you arrive for your first semester.
Exploring campus, registering your first 15 (or more) credits,
and starting to make new friends you will hopefully graduate
with down the road.
And of course we can all remember our first day of class, a
lowly freshman in a world unlike any other. But all of that soon
changes when we realize we aren't alone, and not everybody is
out to get us.
Living on campus, the first battle you come upon is your new
roommate, and of course the people you share your bathroom
with. Some step up to make a schedule, only to realize in college
life that even classes don't always run perfectly on schedule.
Those first few weeks we suddenly realize the newness of it
all has begun to wear off, and college life as we have come to
know it sets in.

�When someone comes into your
life so unexpectedly, yet so
appropriately, it has the possibility
of changing your life forever. They
can impact you and those
around you so greatly that your
life can never be the
same.However, it is when that
person must leave, that you must
be at your strongest, for it is a
great blessing that you had even

Off-Campus Council is a branch of Student Government that works directly
with off-campus students. The council's goals include obtaining safe housing,
working with non-student neighbors, and staying friendly with the city.
This year has been eventful for the Off-Campus Council. In the fall semester,
OCC helped raise money for nine fire victims displaced from their apartments.
This semester, OCC had a very successful hoagie sale fundraiser. OCC is also
participating in the Bowl for Kid's Sake to support the Big Brother/Big Sisters
program. The Off-Campus Council has club representatives attend each of the
local Neighborhood Crime Watch meetings. The big event for Off-Campus
Council was the Block Party which took place on Saturday, April 27th.

On Saturday, March 2, 2002 a group of 7 students and 2
staff advisors left Wilkes Barre for Alexandria, LA. The
Alternative Spring Break crew members spent a week there
working with Habitat for Humanity's College Challenge.
They volunteered at two work sites. At the first site, they
painted walls of a brand new, made from scratch home.
While in Alexandria, they were hosted by the First United
Methodist Church; Billie and Wayne Malone (members of
the church) "adopted" the group, arranging dinner each
night and making them feel welcome in the south. At the
end of their work week, the crew drove to nearby New
Orleans for a day of sight-seeing and fun. The 24-hour
drive brought them home to Wilkes Barre Sunday, March
10th.

Building on their momentum from 1999-2000, Wilkes Roller Hockey made national waves last year
with a run ending in Upland, California at the Collegiate Roller Hockey League National
Championship Tournament, where Wilkes was ousted by eventual champion Eastern Michigan
Cniversity in the Elite Eight, 5-2. The graduation of Chris Jarzyk and Jason Waterbury and loss of
Eric Bonacci left some big shoes to fill, but Wilkes still retains most of their nucleus. The veteran talent
of Captain Dave Peer and Rob Hersker around an incredible pool of underclass talent promised even
greater accolades and accomplishments for the team in 2001-2002, as the Colonels looked to build on
lheir #7 national ranking in Division II.
Wilkes remained competitive throughout the 2001-2002 season, but unfortunately had a poor
howing in the regional playoffs and ended its season in 6th place in their conference. They will look
to rebound in the 2002-2003 season and regain their national ranking.

To the Classes of 2001 and 2002:
My heartiest congratulations! Graduation is a significant achievement. I hope in the
intervening years you have taken time to reflect on how much you accomplished in
your years at Wilkes University.
I hope you also took time to thank those who helped you achieve this significant
goal. Like any major achievement, college graduation cannot be attained without
help. Your parents, siblings, extended family, friends and the faulty and staff here al
Wilkes helped in some way. Thank them and give them something in return.
I also hope you know much we appreciated your contributions to Wilkes University.
As an institution, our job is to create communities of students who learn together
wiht their faulty. Without you, we could not have achieved this core purpose. You
added so much to the Wilkes learning experience that was important and worthy of
our thanks.

You are now on to new and exciting endeavors. We hope you are successfuly in
whatever you have undertaken. I truly believe we have equipped you well for this
next step in your life. Work hard, work smart and care about those around you. Take
a chance, make a difference, do the right thing, and laugh a lot.
And don't forget that Wilkes cares about you and what lies ahead of you. Keep in
close touch through the alumni association. Come back from time to time to add
knowledge on to great foundation you laid in your undergraduate career. And if you
have the means, give back to the University so that future students can have the
same opportunities at Wilkes you had.

Facing a daunting schedule, and lacking a great deal of experience, the
W
ilkes University football team found the going tough during a 4-6 2001
campaign.
The Colonels opened their season with back-to-back road games against
nationally-ranked opponents. The squad played at Montclair State in their
opener, dropping a 28-0 decision, before falling to MAC champion Widener, 5213, in week two.
But, then came week three. The Colonels were once again on the road, this
time at MAC foe Juniata. The contest marked the much anticipated debut of
freshman running back Brett Trichilo. Trichilo, a highly-touted rookie out of
Dunmore High School, missed most of the early part of the season due to an
injury.
Against Juniata, Trichilo showed that the wait was worth it, rushing for a
school-record 254 yards on 30 carries to propel the Colonels to a 34-20 win.
The game marked the first of seven consecutive games in which Trichilo
would surpass the 100-yard mark.
Trichilo earned first team Freedom Conference honors after amassing
1,222 yards on 255 carries, while also scoring ten times.
Freshman quarterback Matt Kaskie enjoyed some late-season success after
taking over the starting role in week eight. Kaskie played in six games,
including three as the starter, and threw for 651 yards and three scores.
Junior wide receiver Chris Banyas, who had 23 catches for 464 yards and
two scores, and sophomore Mike Walk, who hauled in 14 receptions for 144
yards, also came on strong late in the season.
The Wilkes offensive line featured four underclassmen, including first
team Freedom Conference all-star Tim Letcher. Letcher, along with Mike
Liberski, Jason Holloway, and Tom Wighard, joined forces with lone senior
Matt Berger, to form a unit that improved consistently throughout the
season.
Junior Linebacker Mike DaRe, a first team Freedom Conference all-star,
and sophomore linebacker Steve Rogers, anchored the Colonels defensive
unit. DaRe had a team-leading 88 tackles, including 12 for a loss of 54 yards,
and four sacks. Rogers had 79 stops and two interceptions.
Senior Demetri Tzovolos and junior Dustin Bernatovich were outstanding
along the defensive front. Tzovolos was a first team Freedom Conference allstar after tallying 62 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Bernatovich was named a second
team all-star after recording 43 tackles, six of which were for a loss.
The secondary was paced by senior free safety Mark Hendry. Hendry
chipped in 69 tackles and two sacks. Fellow senior Brian Hostler had 41
tackles and a team-leading five interceptions.
Junior Will McLaughlin connected on 5-of-10 field attempts, while
successfully converting l 9-of-24 extra point attempts.

The Wilkes University men's basketball team had its share of ups and downs during the 20012002 campaign. The Colonels finished the season with an overall record of 15-11 and posted a 77 mark in the Freedom Conference. The Blue and Gold qualified for the Freedom Conference
playoffs, where they dropped an 89-84 decision to cross-town rival King's College in the semifinal round.
The Colonels got off to a tough start, splitting their first eight games of the season. But, a fourgame winning skein with victories over St. Mary's (MD), Baptist Bible, Susquehanna and
DeSales improved the team's record to 8-4 overall, and 2-1 in the conference play.
Following the winning streak, Wilkes fell on hard times, dropping four of their next five
contests to see their overall record move to 9-8 and their conference record move to 3-5. But, the
Colonels responded by winning six of their final eight regular season games, including four of six
contests in the conference, to qualify for the playoffs.
Sophomore guard Dave Plisko led the Colonels averaging 12.3 points, 3. 7 rebounds and 2.8
assists per game. Senior Ron McIntyre, who earned a first team Freedom Conference all-star
berth, contributed 11.4 points, and 6.2 rebounds, while shooting an impressive 69.9 percent
from the field. Senior Tom Stambaugh rounded out the Colonels three doublefigure scorers.
Stambaugh ended the season averaging 10.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
Several newcomers also made key contributions, including sophomore transfers Mike Morgan
and Phil Bonczewski. Morgan, who transferred from Division I Lafayette prior to the start of the
second semester, played in 14 games and averaged 9.3 points and 1.9 rebounds. Bonczewski
transferred from Division I Marist at mid-semester and played in 16 games. He averaged 8.4
points and 4.6 rebounds. Freshman John Yanniello also saw plenty of playing time a season ago.

assumed the starting point guard job late in the season and responded well. Kresock,
who started the season at the off-guard position, moved to point guard due to a rash of
injuries and tossed in seven points, and 3 .6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game.
Junior center Caitlin Lee gave Wilkes another needed inside presence. Lee
averaged 5 .5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Sophomore center Corinne Stewart,

numerous nationally ranked teams present, Wilkes went 2-3. Wilkes defeated
nationally reanked Corland State and N.C. Methodist while losing to College of New
Jersey, N.C. Wesleyan, and national runners-up Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
That tournament was followed up with another tournament in Salisbury,
Maryland. Wilkes went 2-2, defeating Bates College and nationally ranked Salisbury
State, while losing to Cabrini and Moravian, who both were also ranked at the time.
Returning to the MAC Freedom conference playoffs as the second seed. On the
first day of the playoffs Wilkes defeated Scranton and King's to enter the second day
of the tournament undeafted. However, the Colonels lost two close one run games to
King's to finish the Freedoms Conference runners-up.
Individually the Colonels had several noteworthy achievements. Robyn
Mendygral, Sandy Mullen, and Lisa Hartman were named the first team all
conference, with Mendygral taking home the MVP award. Second team honors went
to Brooke Sheaves and Erin Priestman.
Robyn Mendygral left Wilkes with every career offensive school record and Alice

The 2002 softball team started off very well for the Colonels. The season opened
in the very tough Virginia Wesleyan Tournament in Virginia Beach. The Colonels
easily defeated Eastern Mennonite University to open the tournament. They then
defeated three NCAA tournament teams consecutively, including a win over
nationally ranked North Carolina Methodist. They finished the tournament 4-0.
The next week Wilkes moved on to the Sea Gull Tournament in Salisbury, MD.
Wilkes opened with a convincing win over Mary Washington College. The five game
winning streak ended with a loss over nationally ranked Moravian in extra innings,
before beating Virginia Wesleyan. Wilkes returned home with a 7-1 record after two
tough tournaments.
MAC play opened with a split at DeSales, before getting a sweep over Ursinus.
Moving on to Drew, Wilkes lost a tough nine inning game in the opener before
dropping the second game of the doubleheader as well. In the second game, Wilkes
lost starting pitcher Maryellen Korty and shortstop Lindy Lutz to season ending
injuries. A few games later they lost leading hitter Carly Streznetcky for the season
as well.
The Colonels played tough the rest of the way minus the three starters but came
out losing 11 one run games and four in extra innings to finish the season 21-19.
Lisa Hartman was outstanding in having to pitch every game the rest of the way.
Some outstanding individual performances were turned by Sandy Mullen, Melissa
Mendygral, and Leora Kleist. Hartman was named to the to the second team as the
DIP, along with Streznetcky who made it despite of missing several games.
Lisa Hartman left Wilkes with numerous pitching records. Among them were
individual season records for inning pitched (223), games (36), games started (33),
and complete games (29). She also set career records for wins with 54 and no hitters

Life
On
Campus

Here at Wilkes there are three
different types of housing a student can
choose from. Besides the typical dorm ,
Wilkes
also
offers
on-campus
apartments and mansion style dorming.
The only typical dorm on-campus is a
co-ed dorm style building, Evans Hall,
which is co-ed by suites. The next type
of housing on campus is the mansion
style housing. The mansions that are on
our campus were donated to Wilkes
University by the wealthy families that
lived around our university. Instead of
tearing them down and building a more Above: The main entrance to Evans Hall on the corner of

buildings, Wilkes kept these beautiful m ajo rity of fres hmen students every year in its four floors.
buildings
and
converted
them
i:htons for the students to live. There are currently twelve mansions on campus which
are single sex dorms. There is one co-ed mansion on campus , Barre Hall which is co-ed
by floor. Ross Hall is our multicultural dorm on campus and most of the residents are
members of the Multicultural Society. The last style of housing a student can get is an
on-campus apartment. There are ten on-campus apartments. Two of which are co-ed
by apartment, Fortinsky Hall and Rifkin Hall. All the rest of the apartments are on
South River Street.

Dorm life enables students to meet a wide
variety of people and create a wealth of
friendships.
Hall socials and group
activities allow these students to get out of
the dorms, forget their studies for a while,
and just kick back with their friends.
Besides fun, their is the academic side of
dorming. Rarely can you walk through a
dorm, especially Evans Hall, without
seeing a group of students studying in the
lounge together. Dorm life has allowed
students to get help with their work and to
study together. Whether it's hanging out
in the dorms and eating pizza or studying
with a group of kids in your class, dorm
life allows students to live together as a
"family" unit.

SECURITY
For Graduation Events

When Attorney General Janet Reno came to Wilkes as the guest
speaker for commencement, Wilkes security personnel went into
overdrive trying to coordinate their activities with the FBI and
the Wilkes-Barre police department. The FBI officers assigned to
Reno came to survey the area the day before the event in order to
set their parameters. These parameters including choosing the
route she would take to get to the stage, clearing people out of
the way, and keeping offensive people away from her. A meeting
was held with Reno the day before commencement to discuss
these parameters and designate which officer would be
responsible for which tasks. These jobs were divided among
seventeen officers-six FBI men, four policemen, and seven
Wilkes security personnel. Jerry Cookus, chief of Wilkes security,
said that, "it was a cooperative effort that required planning the
day before, but everything went very well and according to plan."

Festivities
For Graduating Students

The Senior Week festivities at Wilkes University
are a time for all graduating seniors to gather one
final time before graduation day.
The festivities included meetings at local bars and
restaurants as well as a dinner/ dance to bring this
exciting week to a close.This is a very important
week for seniors because it provides students an
opportunity to be careless one last time before
entering the "real world.". A well known
student,"Comfortable Cad" Jason Cadwallader
strikes a pose while sporting two refreshments
from the bar at the senior dance.

�Little babe (now)

Little babe (then)

Little babe in unlearned state
Reason keep you from mistake
wasteful words of nursery rhyme
and laughing long in nonsense time.
Logic shall protect you well
from superstitious preacher's hell,
machines will fight the world's wars
and Science find diseases' cures.
Grow you up emotionless
with drugs designed to lower stress
and if flesh fails to play its part
replace your weakened human heart.

Little babe so meek and mild
God protect thee from the wild
elfish arrow's poison flight,
and hungry Ogre's fearsome might.
May the Lord thee safely keep
from Winter's cold and Ocean's deep,
wasteful wars of willful kings,
pestilence, plagues, and unseen things.
Grow you up both strong and bold
and lie you down when you are old
to sacred rest from ceaseless toil
'neath shaded shroud of somber soil.

This account I faithfully instate
trusting in The Interest Rate.

This I faithfully pray Oh Lord
trusting in Thy Holy Word.

The Show
Califomia baby, passing out jaded dreams at the door
To mopey dope heads scootin' to the beat down below.
Pretty girls, and nowhere to go-The notes wane in the air, breaching the hallway,
And slowly drift through lips and souls
As time taps, your feet taking over.
Toy-like silhouettes spin and jig
In illuminated halls that billow yellow smoke.
Purple circle skylights reflect in the tears the fog had drawn.
Miles of smiles and patches and heads
Sporadically flash in thousands like
Blind fireflies in summertime.
And it ends as oddly as ends could ever begin,
With the crinkled stub and exhausted smile
Lasting to the car and a good concrete mile.

In My Sleep

I had a dream. Mine wasn't quite so elegant or profound as Dr.
King's. I saw my parents once again united and happy. My older
brother was married and responsible, no longer existing for the
moment with women and friends. Two of my younger sisters
enjoyed sharing one another's company. My youngest sister found
contentment in being, playing with Barbies and applying herself to
school work. As for myself, I had long since left college heading
for a life that was both exciting and fulfilling. Maybe I had a wish.

This I faithfully pray Oh Lord
trusting in Thy Holy Word.

The Man in the Moon once danced with the Spoon
that the Cat ran away with you see,
and the birds in the sky sang sweet notes high
in the songs that they sang for me.
A tree and a rope or some snow and a slope
kept long summers and winters fun.
Spring and fall were spent with a ball
and somewhere wide open to run.
Cool quiet nights were lit with no lights
but the Moon and the stars in the sky.
With a big soft bed, pillow under head,
eyes closed, and I could fly.

�Iced Tea
I came into town during a mid-afternoon iced-tea break
between friends, the heat was oppressive, and extremely
unusual for early May.
The labor pains came on quickly, and they were intense.
Her labor was long; I am told that twenty-six hours had
passed before I finally budged.
Oh, but then my legs clumsily came out, my toes showing
before any other part!
They told my mom, "She's breached, she's coming out backwards!"
Though I don't remember anything, I can listen to this story
as my mother repeats it, and wonder why my mom never took any
notice of the omens that plagued my birth.

Sipping on a Forty and Wishing for Something Better
Otis Redding serenades me before a secondfloor window above the dark street.
Sipping on aforty and wishing for something better.
I've been wearing sunglasses at night.
You should've seen my baby's face, her eyes would knock you out.
I am having a hard time determining what I want.
Jobs are insignificant, and work is for suckers.
I met a woman and she's so purdy.
She likes to dance and so do I.
The way my grandparents dance.
She thinks I'm quiet and brings it up.
I play coy, and just nod my head.
Sometimes I like to imagine what It would be like to take her to one of those early
Appalachian dances.
The ones that were held around the harvest.
I'd imagine that the temperature would be nice enough that we wouldn't sweat,
as we gallivant around the gazebo.
We would feel the heat coming from the fire on our face if we got too close.
I would definitely be smelling pies made from the fall crops.
And the whole town would be watching us because we are the youngest couple.
That would be great.
But, now my forty is empty, and the truth at the bottom is...
I am just a poor man, and the son of an Appalachian monster.
I am not built for this kind of beauty.
She could surely do better than this.

The Key

Failure

There is no real importance for my existence.
I have failed even before I h&amp;ve started
Mediocre dreams .. .
Shattered desires .. .
Fear keeps me from starting
Failure in the shadows
I won't start the race because I'll come in last,
Or lose somewhere in the middle.
Never even trying, just to say I did
Excuses aplenty to avoid the inevitable.
Frozen here on a plateau
Nothing will get better.
Hope, a faint glimmer, dies out.
To stand by myself,
Is to cower behind you.
Doubt envelops me,
Embracing my soul and thoughts.
A great figure chastising my faults
Berating my child-like mentality.
A decision is the hardest to make.
Fate my only stronghold,
Praying it will guide me.
I wi II not be remembered for great things,
For there will be nothing I have accomplished.
And thus I shall die a nobody,
That someboy once knew.

So many questions arise when I dig out these"f&gt;ld black and white photos.
I want to know where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing. I've
often heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words,
but thase pictures that I have of you are worth a thousand questions.
You look about five years old, in your holster and guns.
Who are you pretending to be? Buffalo Bill Cody?
I can imagine, although I will never really know, that this was a most memorable
Christmas for you.
The tree is shining and its brightness is reflected in your face as you smile
mischievously, gun in hand.
Now you are older, probably in eighth grade.
It's funny how eighth-graders look so much older nowadays.
You, though, had a very young face.
And even though your lips are not parted in a smile, I can tell that you are
waijing for the photographer to signal that you are done,
so that you c0uld break out into your laughter.
You always looked so serious, yet those that know you,
know that you were almost always smiling on the inside.
Who ironed your shirt, I wonder.
It looks so crisp and clean, definitely not an indicator of the poor
circumstances in which you grew up.
Nor do you look deprived as Buffalo Bill Cody,
smiling broadly beside the shimmering Christmas tree.

Did you like to pretend a lot?
Did you play make-believe in your holster set? I can hear you say, "Aw, c'moli
Bill," when your older brother wouldn't indulge your Buffalo Bill fantasy. He never
had fun like you because he was too serious.
He could laugh out loud, but not like you did.
.
.
You, you laughed inside and out, and your laughter spread hke seeds caught 1n
a wind.
Now you are grown.
You have graduated.
Did they tell you at your graduation that you are called to be a leader,
and you must help mankind in his quest for the greater good?
Did they tell you that you are the key to the future?
Did you believe them?
You should have, because you were the key to my future.
You are the key to my future.
I could say that these black and white photographs bring back memories,
but they don't.
I know nothing of them, as they are your memories and you are not here to
explain them.
I could tell you the truth, and that would be that these old phot09raphs upset me,
despite the happiness I see in them. I could also say that looking at these
pictures makes me angry,
and that would be true too. I am angry because I cannot ask you to explain
them because you are gone.
There will be no more photographs.
They are all I have, and yet, they are really nothing.

Impromptu Things
I hear this as I step cautiously into the men's room
near the food court of the local mall: "Man! This ... is ... the
BEST day of .. .my LIFE!"
Admittedly I'm pleased-that whiny and throaty
statement was definitely the funniest thing I've ever heard
come out of a stall in a men's room. Well, farts were real
funny when I was younger, but this is different. I guessed
the kid to be around five. "First we go ...to ...JOEY'S, and
THEN ... wecometotheMALL ... and, and, and there's a
MERRY-GO-ROUND! This's the best day of my life. I
really think."
Now I'm really happy, I'm dumbfounded! This voice
was the epitome of happiness, of simplicity, of joy. When
was the last time I saw anything so clearly, or so
innocently, what a gift! I could not wait to meet this little
guy. It made me glow to just think about Joey's, a merrygo-round, and the best day of my life. Why cc3:n't it stay
so simple? I had to see this kid! "And , and I didn't know
about any of it! I, I, didn't know. I didn't know where we
going, and .. .and this is, I LOVE this."
I was in awe; what a show! As the door opens, I turn
and see my little friend, the boy who made my day by
basking in his innocent and ignorant gloiy. He had on a_
bright red button-down sweater with a w~1te collared s~,rt
underneath that made him stand out against the pale tile
of the restroom. I was not disappointed. He looked up at
me smiling, one tooth short of a row on both top an?
bottom and went for the sink. He was awesome. His
'

huge brown eyes were opened wide as if still surprised,
and his freckled cheeks jiggled back and forth as he
spread the soap between his hands. He was perfection.
He was fat, and that made it even better. He dried his
hands and met his father. "Dad," he said, as he looked
three feet straight up, "I didn't even know."
I was so pleased with the timing of my bladder. I
looked at the father, expecting to get a smile back, an
acknowledgement of how damn cute and innocent his fat
son is, how great it is that he is so happy, and that it took
so little.
Just a small recognition of my inspiration! No such
luck.
"l know son," began his father. "Impromptu things
usually are quite fun."
The boy's smile faded slightly. His head suddenly leapt
off the scruff of his upper back, to its thinking position,
which was not unlike that of a confused puppy trying to
figure out his master's command. His head cocked back
into place.
"Huh?"
"You know son, impromptu. Spur-of-the-moment, all-ofa-sudden. Com'mon, let's go."

�Untitled
A Crooked Hall
I feel grossly inadequate,
Like a wooden rowboat in a sea of gilded galleons.
I don't Jong for golden timbers,
And I am not envious of the advantages that a gilded galleon provides,
;However I am in a constant hunt for the blessed majesty,
That the adorned ships thrust upon you.
I am constantly spinning clockwise with my arms extended
And without an axis, hoping to bump into someone,
That I can only pray would look at me twice.
Once for curiosity.
Twice for sincerity.
But if they only look once,
With me standing, patiently anticipating a second glance,
I am reminded that I am nothing but a wooden rowboat,
In a sea of gilded galleons.

�The Dignified Man

He was like that ever since he could remember. Even in grade school he
carried himself with an air of sophistication. Sure the other kids didn't like him very
much, but he didn't value their opinions about anything so it didn't matter. There was
the time whe he was dared to eat paste, and almost considerd it to earn the respect of
his peers. But he didn't and the teacher had been watching him and congratulated
him on being a very grown up boy for the first grade. Compliments from teachers,
dignity was always good for that. Dignity was all he ever wanted. He could dress
more carefully than anyone else in his school. Jeans and a T-shirt didn't cut it for
him. He needed effort. Shirts that you had to button proved that he took his time
getting dressed in the morning. The more buttons, the better. Ties added more effort
to the process. A nice tie (under a button down collar of course) and he was ready to
face the world. He spoke with proper grammar at all times: may I go to the lavatory,
to whom did you wish to speak. Hell, he never even cursed.
He didn't like the music his peers did, effort again; Mozart put effort into his
music, three guys with guitars and a drummer wouldn't know the definition of effort.
He didn't act the way his peers did, mainly because it consisted of listening to
effortless music and getting drunk; apparently the high school equivalent of eating
paste. So consequently, he was not very popular with those peers. But he didn't need
them. Why go to a party to listen to noise surrounded by people he considered
undignified when they were sober let alone trashed off their asses? There was a short
time when he did consider going to his senior prom. The thought of all those tuxedos
and prom dresses made him almost forget whom he was really thinking about. In the
end though, he decided it didn't matter how nice they were dressed; they would never
act dignifed enough to suit him. The music would be wrong, and the whole point of
prom night was afterwards you'd get drunk, eat paste, smoke something, get laid,
anything but act the way intelligent human beings were supposed to act.
So dignity didn't win him many friends, but it didn't make him any enemies
either, and it had gotten him his job, and then his promotion. Yes, dignity had done it
all. He loved his job. They were so impressed at the interview that they hired him
immediately. He was the youngest employee ever to be promoted to management.
Now almost everyone who worked there had to call him sir, and he thought
(correctly) that he made more money than all of his classmates combined.

Which is why he found it odd that dignity left him when it did. Not when he was old
and could no longer take care of himself, as he had seen happen to so many who were
dignified in the past. The past was where he wished he lived. A good suit from the
Twenties had a vest to button, a jacket to button, and even a hat to straighten. But no,
dignity didn't leave him when he was forced to buy a meager meal with food stamps,
as he feared he would before he got his job. No, instead his old friend left him while
he was walking to the bank in his favorite suit with his best power tie around his neck
and his big, fat dignified check in hand. That is when he met some drunken, fat slob
who had apparently long ago decided that dignity didn't mean anything and recently
decided that neither did red lights. And as the dignifed man laid there on the street
(his legs now quite an undignified mass of bone, blood, urine, and Italian silk) all he
could think was, "this will not do, this will not do at all." But he was wrong, death
suited him well and everyone who attended his wake agreed that he was the most
dignifed corpse they had ever seen.

starry night and placid moon shimmer
their light calms
but the glow is so far away.
As a distant clock
strikes an early hour.
Wishful thinking
is this reality?
Certainty is lost as the realization sets in
this is a dream from which no one wakes ...

I feel so dizzy, but not dizzy enough to miss everyone's stares .. . What's the matter?
Are we walking the wrong way?
Some of us seem to have forgotten our shoes.
I GUESS Krista's water bottle is cute ...
. . . though I don't feel it was meant to cleverly disguise rum and coke.
Maybe a ride
on the Ferris Wheel ...
. . . no, it's too breezy, I wish I changed into pants.
The SALT WATER AIR tickles my NOSE.

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP WALKING INTO US?
Our fortunes are mysteriously read, only we take them seriously

The music beats out of the psychedelic t-shirt shop,
of course we stop to dance.
"WATCH THE TRAM CAR, PLEASE" echos mechanically in our heads as we watch

I think we need new shot glasses.
We get our photos taken in a tiny booth to remind us:
It IS fun to have a little too much to drink and then brave the boardwalk.
Hey, Jenny, did you grab that ankle bracelet?

�Y2K-A Love Saga
Oh yeah, that's right! Caress me, touch me. Push my
buttons, baby. You know how to make me happy. Wrap those
words around my screen, no need for you to type enter.
All day long I sit here, being violated every few minutes
by the people who "need" me. People have no
consideration for my feelings. No one ever stops to ask
me if they are typing too hard or too fast for me to
respond. They get fed up because they never learned to
type properly. Of course, it's my fault for the typos. Sure,
blame me ... WHATEVER.
You, yes you. The ones who sneeze and then type all
over me, spreading germs to the next user, or should I
say victim. It's like transmitting STD's. Only there are no
condoms for keyboards. **Note to self- idea, a computer
condom for protection. File that somewhere in my
memory.**
I could tell you so much, but no one ever asks. I
remember everything that is typed on me. From research
papers to ludicrous emails, to those crazy chat rooms. I see
you visiting those porn sites. www.YouAreAPervert.com.
The internet is a crazy place, I tell ya. I have seen it all,
played all the games, solitaire and the like. Really, how
come no one wants to play chess against me? It's so
discouraging.
Click, click, click ... it's all I hear. I wish somehow I could
voice my own opinion. Sometimes when I am really mad,
I make one of my keys stick. Or worse yet, I'll freeze the
screen. Ha, ha, ha .. .

Ahh the screen ... why won't she notice me? All day
long, I sit right beneath her. It's like she can't even see
me. That's impossible though, every thought typed on
lne, she knows. She sees me, right underneath her. I
think I love her ... My monitor. My one, my all, my reason
for typing. I try to send her messages, yet she ignores
me. Only sometimes, she collaborates with me to
frustrate a student trying to type a term paper an hour
before it's due. She'll freeze her screen, they really hate
that. SHE, she may freeze the computer, but she freezes
my heart too.
I think maybe she is having an affair. Maybe she's
sleeping with the mouse? Or that damned tower. He has
such a high and mighty "I am better than you" attitude.
Just because he has the disk drives, and all the memory.
Screw you, tower! I hope a disk gets stuck in your drive
buddy!
AHH, to be the keyboard. Good night monitor, I love
you ................. .

�Your Words

They float through the air at me,
For I am their lonely target.
Sometimes they flow past like gusts of wind.
Sometimes they stab with the sharpness of daggers.
Sometimes, the best times,
are when they caress my ears
and nestle into the crevices of my heart.
It is pointless to run, they always find me.
Silent stalkers ready to pounce when I am weakest.
Moaning ghosts whose restless souls cannot be settled.
Old friends that comfort me when I am at my lowest point.
If I welcome them forever,
will I finally be rid of you?

�A Refuge for George
A tainted spot of earth stands at my feet,
held up by the four corners of a mahogany box.
This box-held in geometric perfection by nailsnow knows the scent of a broken structure,
a breath after death,
as muffled complaints issued from the bowels of its only friend.
And the earth that fills the gap between the living and the stillness of the un-still
speaks as it's awakened by my falling tears.
And he complains of his toiling,
the pressure under which he folds,
simply to thread more room for this noisy, wooden box,
which holds my crying friend in its angular, wooden belly.
Now that hungry stomach-that catalyst of his decay
stands as a home for my boy's bones
which carries his moans as they roam the four corners
of his tiny wooden box.
"Yes-and my friends,
to show my worth,
decorated my box with Southern Comfort, packed bowls a' plenty,
and all sorts of other treasures I held
from my death back to my birth."
And as I kneel
to the
ground,
crumbling in hurt,
I realize that
all it amounts to- all this man's worth
lies cradled in wooden arms,
decaying in
dirt.

Shore leave doesn't end in garbage bags

Letters sent home to families
don't make widowed wives.
Bomb loaders don't scour beaches
for pieces of fallen crew.
Waves roll in from the ocean
a bloodless shade of blue,
and Danny Thomas will stumble along
unscathed through his teens
'cause shore leave doesn't end in garbage bags

�The New Student Center
Wilkes University saw many
changes in the 1999 school year.
One of the most significant
changes was the transition from
Pickering Hall to the new student
center. Included in the transitions
was the fare well to Pickering party
and the begining of construction
starting with demolition of the "old
cafe," Pickering Hall. The ground
breaking ceremony fallowed with
several students, faculty, and community member picking up shovels Chris Thompson and Mike Rosh celebrate Homecoming by
to dig in to the dirt. After months
saying farewell to the decorated Pickering Hall.
of construction, the dedication ceremony was the most exciting aspect of the transition for the students.
Plaques were placed around the building honoring those who donated to the
new student center.

Headlines around the campus, and community read, "Swallowing Up the Old Cafe," as Pickering was demolished.

students to wonder if
the new Student Center would ever be

was well worth the
wait.

Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad,
Well, that never happened!"

Congratulations and Best Wishes
We love you!

�Fellow Students, Faculty, and Staff,
As this, the 53rd volume of the Amnicola comes
ne Tomassoni
to a close, it brings with it a variety of emotions. We
- - - - - are thrilled that the book is finally finished, but also
disappointed in the events that led to this
publication. We have learned the hard way that it
takes more than just 2 people to pull a yearbook
together. We feel that we did the best with what we
had to work with.
rl Witkowski
We would like to thank our advisor, Jim Harrington
_ _ _ _ for all of his help and understanding. He had faith in
us when nobody else did.
To the faculty and staff not represented, we
apologize, we used the photos we had to work with.
To our fellow classmates, we wish you the best of
luck in all of your future endeavors. We hope you
have enjoyed your days at Wilkes as much as we
have.
To future yearbook staff members, GOOD LUCK.
Remember, it takes more than two people to pull a
book together (without going crazy that is).
