�BACHELOR OF ARTS
The general purpose of the Bachelor of Arts course is to give the essenJiberal education. This course combines a broad cultural training
with a sound preparation for the specialized work of the professional schools
such as the giaduate school, law ichool, medical school, theological school,
and business- school; by proper selection of courses the student may also
prepare
for further specialized work in many other fields.
Although the libiral arts course is primarily concerned in serving this
broad cultriral purpose, there are many vocations such as secondary school
tials of

teaching and administration, government service, social work, journalism,

and aciounting, for which

i

liberal arts course may afiord

a

direct

preparation.

students who wish to major in Music in the last two years at Lewisburg may take practical work at the Junior College. For one.weekly lesson
in v"oice or instiument, with at least five hours each week of practice, one
semester hour of college credit is given each semester.

IN BIOLOGY

The Biology course is inte,ded to prepare the student to enter the
various fields dealing- with life from the viewpoint of modern biological
science. one of the functions of the Biology course is that of afioriing
pre-medical training in a four-year program, the first two of which arI
offered at wilkes-Barre. In harmony with the general feeling among the
heads of o.r medical schools as to what pre-mediial work shou"ld comf,rise,

the course as adapted for pre-medical students is arranged to combine so
far as possible a broad cultural background with the n.ie.sury pre-profession_al training. other functions of- the Biology course ,.i io p..pu..
students to enter laboratories as technicians arrd to work in the held of
public health, as well as to teach or to enter graduate schools for advanced
rvork.

5$::

T'l-re two-year program outlined can be adapted also to meet the entrance
requirernents for the work in dentistry or osteopathy.

applications of chemistry. Types o{ work in rvhich students are employed

include analytical and research work, plant development and operation,
sales, general engineering work, and executive control.
Civrr- ENoTNEERTNc
The civil engineer deals with problems in structural, highway, railroad,
hydraulic and sanitary engineering, together with surveying and geodesy.
In these fields his services are required in the design) construction and
maintenance of fixed structures such as bridges, tunnels, elevated railways,
and the structural members of buildings; in the design of other engineering
projects such as canal and harbor improvements; in the development and
control of water resources; and in the location and construction of railroads, highways and pavements.

Erncrxrcnr, ENcrNnnntxc
The electrical engineer's services are required for the generation of
electrical power in steam or rvater polver plants, for its distribution, and for
its use in driving the machinery in miils, factories or minesl for the driving
of. electric railways; for electro-plating and chemical processing; for heating; for lighting streets and homes; and for all the electrical devices used
in the home. Communication by telegraph, telephone or radio are additional fields controlled b5, him. He ma-v design, construct, test or market
electrical apparatus.

Mrcrraxrcar, EucrNnnmxc
The mechanical engineer deals rvith the development of mechanical
power and its applications to the industries through machinerl,, and has
opportunities in combustion, heating and ventilating, marine, refrigerating,

�ORGANIZED STUDENT AC'IIVITIES
The _scholastic prograrn of a college is not sufficiently broad nor flexible
to provide the breadth of experience essential to a broad education. Eclucation is not concerned with the mind alone, but also with development of
ideals and character that rvill assure the proper use of those poi'ers that
are developed. To provide this breadth of experience the student body a,d
faculty are constantly c-oope,rating for the development of a finer program
of activities. Superficialll, these activities all contribute to personaiity ana
are intended to develop the poise and judgment which are the real marks
of -an educated person. Fundamentally ihey encourage initiative. good
judgment, and a sense of- responsibility.

was evidence also that a constantly grolving number of persons
were aware of the cuitural enrichment that a college may offer
to the community as a whole. The new institution was made
increasingly lvelcome and was encouraged by the sympathy
and support of residents of the Valley. The desirabiiity of
establishing the college in permanent quarters in an attractive
environrnent was plain. These new quar:ters were made available early in 1937 through the generosity of Mrs. John N.
Conyngham and of Admii'al and Mrs. Harold R. Stark. By an
outright gift of their handsome residences on South River Street,
these donors evinced their concern rvith the higher education
in Wyoming Valley and strengthened greatly the status of the
Junior College. Their generosity made it possible for the
institution to begin its fifth year in commodious quarters facing
on Wilkes-Barre's,attractive Rir"er Common.

Buildinos These trn'o buildings have been named in memory
atld Eqiib- of those to whom they originally belonged. The
John N. Conyngham Hail perpetuates the memment

ory of John N. Conyngham, a former resident of
Wyoming Valley and husband of the donor. Chase Hall stands
as a memorial to Frederick M. Chase and Ellen Stark Chase, the
sister of Admiral Stark. Both buildings were dedicatetl by
President Marts on April 29, 1938, and have lent themselves
admirably to the purpose they now serve.
The spacious rooms of Conyngham Hall have been made into
excellent classrooms and traboratories. The latter have been
equipped with the finest and most modern apparatus. A library
of 6000 volumes also is located in this building.
Chase Hall is the administration building and social center.
Here are located offices of the faculty and administration,
recreation rooms, a reoeption room, and the classrooms of the

language departments.

Within the past year two new additions have been made to
the college. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Weckesser have given
the residence at 78 West Northampton Street, adjacent to Conyngham HaIl, to be used as headquarters for the "Collegium
Musicum" and as the residence of the Director. The building
tel

�HISTORICAL SKETCH
behind Chase Hall has b'een converted into a theatre. A small
building, seating one hundred twenty persons, it has been used
for piay production and for experimental work in dramatics.
The purpose of the Junior College is to offer
Purpose
students within commuting distance of WilkesBarre an opportunity to secure two years of college training
while living at home. A high standard of work has been maintained, which has enabled students after the completion of their
course to adjust themselves readily to the work of the junior
year in four-year colleges. Every effort has been made to
attract a faculty that is well-equipped in scholarship, experience,
and personality, and to offer a program that meets the requirements of four-year colleges. The records made ,by students
who have transferred to the junior year of other colleges
indicate that these students have been successfully prepaned.
Students completing either one or two years of work in WilkesBarre have thus far secured advanoed standing at, f.orty colleges
throughout the eastern states.
Curricwlum The curriculum ineludes those courses generally
offered in the first two years of the best liberal
arts colleges. All courses are intended to correlate with the
work offered by universities and colleges in the junior and
senior years. Subjects offered by the Junior College lead toward the bachelor's degree in the Arts and Sciences, Commerce
and Finance, Education, and Engineering. Most student programs eombine subjecis of general cultural value with the
technical instruction required as preparation for prof,essional
and business fields. A modified Secretarial Course is offered
for students of exceptional ability. This is a eombination of
courses that may ;be credited toward the bachelor's degree with
those technical courses essential for secretarial work. At the
end of two years under this program students may either begin
office work or continue their studies in the junior year of a
university.
Accred,it- The Junior College is fully aacredited by all
agencies having jurisdiction in this area. It

to individual students many speciar aids to their iraiviauat

I11l

�HISTORICAL SKETCH

by regularly ol:ganized conferences betr'r,een the student and
his 'advisor, whereby it is hoped to reduce coilege maladjustments to a minimum and to assure the student of intelligent
and sympathetic understanding of his probiems.

Pltysical

Although the College has no gymnasium of its
own, facilities of unusual excellence have been

Christian Association with the full use of its modern equipment.
tsasket-ball, swimming, hand-ball, squash, bowling, and other
organized activities are carried on in the gymnasium of the
Y.M.C.A. The physical program for wo nen consists of a course
in eurythmics, given in the College Theater under the direction
of a member of the faculty.

I'Iany students nlave interests and abilities that
iie outside the field of studies. A number of
activities have been provided to complement
studies by giving opportunity for expression of these interests"
These cover a wide range in fields of a recreational and semiprofessional character: athletics, dramatics, newspaper and
choral lvork, debating, efr. There are speciai clubs of Pi'eMedical and Engineering students, French and German Clubs,
and a Foreign Relations Club. These are all conducted by the
students u"ith the guidance of a member of the faculty, and
care is taken to prevent their conflicting rvith the student's
program of studies.
The vzrlue to be derived from a college is less

and strong personalities. Doctor's degrees have been granted
to members of the faculty by Harvard, Yale. Corneli, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, New York, and Stanford; master's d.egrees by
Oxford, Columbia, Northwestern, fowa, Syracuse, Virginia, and
Wisconsin. The experience of these men and rvomen has been

�ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
General Information
The Junior College seeks to admit those students whose scholastic aptitude, and o her personal qualifications give evidence
that they can sucoeed in college. Admission will be determined
by high school grades, standing in trr'e graduating class, principal's rating, college aptitude tests, and a personal interview.
This plan admits those students who are capable of doing
satisfactory college work, and increases their chances,of successful accomplishment. Students ,are by this plan brought into
association with others who are both capable and interested.
These daily associations serve to stimulate thoughtful e{forb
and raise the level of achievsment for individual sfudents.
Applieation for admission should be made as early as possible,
and those who plan to attend the college should arrange with
their school counsellors a program that will meet the-college
requiremeqts. This ordinarily should be done at the beginning
of lhe high school course. Application for admission must be
made upon a special form whii[ can be secured from the office
of the Registrar.
- A deposit of 910.00 is required with the application. This
deposit will be credited toward the tuition wheir-registration is
completed or will be returned if the application is withdrawn
four weeks before the opening of eollege.
No matriculation fee will be charged to any student rnaking
proper application before August 1, 1g3g. Students submittinf
|pUlications after August 1, rvill be charged a matriculatioil
fee of $2.50.
Special ReEr,irements
The level at which each student begins his college work in
"determined
Fnglish, mathematics or foreign languages will be
by tle results of placement teits in thes-e subjects. A student
may lose credit in foreign languages if the results of the examination indicate that he is unprepared to do the work in the
course he would normally enter.
Students _who plan to enter an engineering course should
-have
a good- foundation in algebra, plane geometry, and solid
geometry. Solid geornetry is required of civil, eleitrical, a^nd
- engineering students.- It is
mechanical
electi,i-e for cheinical
engineering students. Students who plan to enter the Comrnrerce and Finance or Science courses ihould take at least one
and.one-half
of algebr,a and one year of plane geometry
in hieh school._years
[14]

�ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
Ad,mission To Ad,aanced Standing
Applications for admission to advanced standing should be
made to the Registrar of the Junior College. The applicant
should also request the institution last attended to send to the
Registrar of the Junior College a transcript of all work accepted
for admission and of all work completed there, accompanied by
a letter of honorable dismissal.

Registration
students are to appear for registration on Tuesday,
September 1-9. At this time all course schedules will be completed and fees for the first term will be due. In the event
that some ,arrangement for deferred tuition is desired it is
essential that a definite agreement for delayed payments be
made at this time.
During his first semester a student may not register for more
than eighteen semester hours. In each succoeding sernester he
may be allowed to register for one additional hour, beyond the
normai requirement, for each nine quality crredits earned during
the preceding semester. The normal number of semester hours
required in each sernester of the course leading to any degree is
indicated in the conspectus for that course.

All

Fresktnon Week
The student must make a new adjustment upon entering
college. In general the college gives the student more freedom
than is offered by the secondary school, and at the same time,
expects him to attain a higher level of work in a broader field.
This transition from the dirrected work of the secondary school
to the independent and more intensive work of the college
o-ccasionally causes difficulty to students who have not prepared
themselves for this change. To assure an early adjustment to
this new responsibility, four days preceding the opening of
classes are set aside for discussions with incoming Freshmen.
These discussions range from personal talks between individual
students and members of the facuity to lectures concerning the
meaning of a college education and an outline of the significance
of the eourses offened. In these days the students will arrange
their schedules for the semester with their faculty advisers and
wil! be given every opportunity to discuss their plans and hopes
with these advisers. They will also be given opportunities to
bgqgme acquaint'ed with one another and will le-arn something
of the student activities that are open to them. These four days,
if profitably used, should assist eve,ry student in arranging fhe
program that will be most helpful to him.
[15]

�THE CURRICULUM
aaa

The Buckneil university Junior college offers two years of
work preparing for degrees in the liberal arts, the scilnces of

biology, chemistry and physics, commerce and finance, education,
and engineering. These courses are identical to those offered by
the university at Lewisburg and are intended to prepare the
student for the work of the junior and senior years.

The large proportion of graduates continuing thefr u,ork in
the junior class of four year colleges necessitates reasonably
close adherence to the requirements of other colleges and the
laying of a strong scholastic foundation. There are, however,
many students who desire a generai education that will extend
their experience and broaden their perspectil,e ri'ithout considelation for future training. For these students, as weil as for
those rvith speciai interests, progxams can be arranged that will
meet their needs and desires.

[16]

�BACHELOR, OF AR.TS

The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts course is to give the
essentials of a liberal education by combining a broad cultural
training with a sound preparation for the speoialized work of
the professional schools such as the graduate, law, medical,
theoiogical, and business schools" By proper selection of courses
the studrent may also prepare for further specialized work in
many other fields.
Although the liberal arts course is prirnarily concerned in
servring this broad cultural purpose, there are many vocations
such as secondary school teaching and administration, goverxment service, social work, jour-nalism, the fine arts, law, and
aecounting, for which a liberal arts course may afford a direet
preparation.
Students rvho wish to major in Music in the last two years at
Lewisburg may take practical work at the Junior College. For
one weekly lesson in voioe or instrument, with at least five hours
each week of practice, one semester hour of college credit is
given each semester.

�BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
The purpose of the work in the Commerce and Finance department is to prepare students for their future life's work and
at the same time to give them a well rounded education. With
this end in view, the work has been so aruanged that the student
devotes approximately half his time to courses of a general
academic nature. Students who desire to enter the world of
business lay the groundwork for future study in accounting,
banking, real estate, brokerage, insurance, general business,
selling, advertising, and similar fields.
There is a growing demand for persons trained to serve as
secretaries to men in important positions in the business and
professional world, a position more than that of a mere clerk

or

stenographer.

The Secretarial Course provides training in stenography,
typewriting, office practice, correspondence work, filing, record
keeping, making reports, meeting people, conducting an offioe,
and duties of a sirnilar nature.
For those who desire to prepare for teaching commercial and
business subjects, a complete four-;rear course in training is
offered, the first two years at Wilkes-Barre. This work has been
approved for certification of teachers by Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Ohio.

CIVIL ENGINEEEING
The civil engineer deals with problems in structural, highway, railroad,
hydraulic, and sanitary engineering, together with surweying and geodesy.
In these fields his services are required in the design, constructiln, and
maintenance of fixed structures such as bridges, tunnels, dams,
and the
structural members of buildings, His services are indispensable in
the
design of other engineering projects such as river" canal
and harbor improvementsl in the development and control of water
resources, treatment
and disposal of sewage and industrial wastes; and in the location
and
construction of all transportation facilities.

�SCHOLARSHIPS,AND ASSISTANCE
To aid outstanding students rvho may be in need of financial
assistance, every effor-t is made to establish adequate scholarship
funds. Applications for schorarships, other than the university
competitive scholarships, may be made through the Registrar of
the Junior College.
JuNron Cor,r,ncn Coupp:rrrlvs ScHoLRnsHrps
A limited number of scholarships have been made available
each year through the interest and generosity of friends of
the
Junior college. These schorarships are awarded to students
from the upper fifth of the high schoor class who receive outstanding scores in a competitive examination.

AuonrclN Assocurrox op UNivonsrry WolrnN
The local chapter has made available a sum of money to be
awarded to students, of outstanding ability and personality.
These scholarships ordinarily are awarded tostudents who
have
excelled in the examinations for the competitive schorarships.
LoaN FUND
The wyoming valley woman's crub has created a revolving
loan fund from which small sums may be borrowed on a p,ersonal note.

- !,r*. of $50.00 per year may be borrowed from a similar fund
held by Bucknell university. No interest is charged while the
student is enrolled in the Junior college or in Bucknell university, but an interest charge does commence when the student

Ieaves college.

The scholastic activities of the Junior College are supple*
mented by a well-rounded prograrn of student activities. These
activities are organized. and conirolled by the students. They
are varied in character and will satisfy a variety of interests"
It is felt that values can be obtained from these activities which
cannot be developed through the scholastic work of the college,
and all students are encouraged to participate in at least one
activity during the year.

In so far as is practicable student activities are planned, or'ganized, and initiated by students. To provide a co-ordinating
ageney for all student groups, to establish fine social standards,

and to assure responsibility for student activities, a student
council, representative of all student groups, is elected annualiy.
To a great extent the success of student activities depends upon
the leadership of this group.

�.A1arks 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 his ideas to others in a

manner that assures understanding and enlists
cooperation.
3. He is tolerant, for his knowledge creates an awareness of his own limitations and his neighbor's
possibilities. He respects differences because he
knows how they have come to be. He fears uniformity because it confines both mind and spirit.
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, for he knows that
crisis reveals the strength or weakness of a man,
and he knows that crisis demands independence of
judgment and action.

ILKES COLLEGE was founded in Wilkes-Barre as a Junior College in 1933 by Bucknell University and was established to offer
young men and women of the Wyoming Valley opportunities previously
denied them. At the time, this was the largest community in Pennsylvania:, if not in the United States, lacking a local college.
The .first classes were held in a rented office building with an enrollment of 155 students. 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 r•ented 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 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. Fred Weckesser added the
residence ·at 78 West Northampton Street to the college property in 1938.
Mr. Allen Kirby's gift in 1941 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 1945-46, all neighbors to the campus: 154 and 158
South River Street, and 191 South Franklin Street. Another adjacent
property, the former Ashley residence at 164 South River Street, has
been deeded to the College by the heirs of the Ashley estate, Mrs.
Marion A. Ahlborn, Dr. Henry A. Carr, and Mrs. Roccena Wolfe.
From February 1943 to June 1944, the Sixth College Training Detachment of the Army Air Forces was stationed at the College. Two
hundred and .fifty Air Corps cadets, quartered at Hotel Sterling, received
training in separate classes.
Responsibility originally assumed by the administration and board
of trustees of Bucknell University was transferred in 1938 to an jn.
digenous board of trustees as being more strategically placed to forecast
future needs and to integrate the College as a community institution.
11

�Bucknell University, while continuing to lend its support, offered the
College complete independence whenever the affiliation ceased to be
advantageous.
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 year at Wilkes-Barre. At the same
time authorization was received for the extension of this program to
include the senior year in 1947 and 1948. Meanwhile, 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.
Although Wilkes College is legally an independent institution, it will
maintain close relations with Bucknell University until commitments
made to students, while the Junior College was an integral part of the
University, have been satisfied. It is anticipated that these commitments
can be met in 1948 or 1949. Thereafter the separation of the two
institutions will be completed.

Information
CURRICULUM

The College, with the cooperation of Bucknell University, is now
offering four years of college work in the liberal arts, biology, chemistry,
commerce and finance, and education. Two years are offered in physics
and engineering. These courses lead toward the bachelor's degree in
the Arts and Sciences, Commerce and Finance, Education, and Engineering. They combine subjects of general cultural value with the
technical instruction required as preparation for professional and business fields.
TERMINAL CURRICULA

To students desiring only two years of college or unable to make
arrangements for a four-year college course, the College offers terminal
courses, completed in two years, in music, secretarial work, radio production, and laboratory-technician trnining.
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 special training or credit
toward a degree. Persons seeking a master's degree from Bucknell
University may take 18 hours in Wilkes-Barre, but must take the remaining 12 hours in residence at Lewisburg.
AccREDITMENT
Wilkes College was fully accredited by the Department of Public
Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania in June, 1947.
Bucknell University Junior College, which preceded Wilkes College,
was accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of· the State of
Pennsylvania in 1936 and by the Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Middle States Association and Maryland in 1937. Prior
to the incorporation of Wilkes College, the Junior College division was
accredited by all accrediting agencies having jurisdiction in this area.
During the period of its affiliation with Bucknell University, all students received credit for their work from the offices of the University.

12

13

�Because the present junior and senior classes were admitted to Bucknell
University at the same time that they were admitted to the Junior College,
the University is continuing its affiliation and giving credit for courses
taken in Wilkes-Barre until these classes have graduated in June, 1949.
In consequence of this arrangement, work taken at Wilkes College in
conjunction with Bucknell University is given the recognition that is extended to work done in accredited institutions.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS

Heretofore, graduates have transferred to the Junior classes in more
than one hundred colleges, although a majority have continued their
work in the last two years at Bucknell University. Now that four
years of college work are offered on this campus, transfer is still
possible. but no longer necessary except for degrees in physics and
engineering.
VETERANS' GUIDANCE CENTER

The Veterans' Guidance Center of the College, which was set
up in April, 1945, offers its services to veterans seeking entitlement
u.nder the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and the "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 the veteran
explore his background, capacities, interests, and general qualifications
for the purpose of developing or forwarding a vocational plan.
VOCATIONAL COUNSELLING

Choice of a career is a baffling problem for many students. It is relatively rare for a young person to know exactly what he wants to do and
how to go about it. He needs to know so much, not only about himself,
but about practical opportunities. There is always a large group who,
although unable to determine a special interest, are capable of fine work
in many .fields. Such students face ,two choices: the selection of a special
field of work, or of a course that will develop varied interests and breadth
of experience. The effectiveness of any training must ultimately depend
upon the interest, capacity, and effort of the student.
Although each individual must make his own choice, the College,
recognizing the seriousness of the problem, assigns a faculty adviser to
counsel with each student in his selection of a course and a career.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION

mental 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. Veterans may receive physical education
credit for their armed service records if they so desire.
The physical education program for women includes rhythmic dancing, archery, badminton, bowling, bicycling, hiking, swimming, tennis,
ice hockey, and basketball.
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.
These talks range from individual conference 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. This week also gives the new students the
opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to learn about
student activities.
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
Pre-Medical, Engineering, French, German, Spanish, International Relations, Sociology, Camera, 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.
BUILDINGS

The College buildings stand on South River Street and South Franklin Street between \Vest Northampton and South Streets along the
Susquehanna River Common. Besides classrooms and administration
and faculty offices, the buildings include a men's dormitory, a women's
dormitory, a joint dining room, a cafeteria, and lecture hall.

Intercollegiate sports schedules are maintained in football, basketball,
wrestling, baseball, tennis, and swimming. Colleges within the state
and in adjacent states are met in these sports. Men may substitute an
intercollegiate spott for physical education courses if they meet depart-

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 has been carefully

14

15

FACULTY

�selected for their training, experience and personalities. Doctor's degrees
have been granted to the members of the faculty by the following u:ii·versities: Columbia, Michigan, Cornell, Chicago, Zagreb, Cracow, Mmnesota, Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins; master's degrees by Bucknell,
Chicago, Columbia, Indiana, Syracuse, Temple, N~w York, Warsaw,
and Pennsylvania and special training has been obtamed through study
at Berlin, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Marburg, Mexico, Muenster, Munich,
Prague,and the Sorbonne. A cosm opolitan 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 fits them to give the intensive training essential to
their various fields.
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.
Simultaneously, chiropractors from eastern Pennsylvania are meeting to
prepare for refresher examinations that are being given by the State
Board of Medical Examiners. Over a period of years, special courses in
musical literature have been offered by the Department of Music.
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.

16

Admission
Wilkes seeks students who give promise of developing sound intellectual interests. Admission is determined by high school grades,
principal's rating, college aptitude tests, and a personal interview.
APPLICATION

Application for admission should be made early. Prospectiv~ stude_nts
should arrange their school programs, preferably on entermg high
school, to meet the college requirements. Required forms for application may be secured from the Registrar in Chase Hall. A matriculation
fee of $5 must accompany the application.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Placement tests determine the level at which the student begins his
college work in English, mathematics, foreign languages, and other
subjects. A student may lose credit in foreign languages if his examination indicates that he is not prepared for the course he had expected to
enter. Students will be advised of dates of these tests.
The Engineering course presupposes an adequate knowledge ~f
mathematics. For preparation, courses in algebra, plane and solid
geometry, and trigonometry are recommended. Students entering the
Commerce and Finance or Science courses should have had at least two
years of algebra, or one year of algebra and one year of plane geometry
in high school.
WAIVER OF HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS FOR VETERANS

Veterans who show unusual promise may be accepted with only a high
school equivalent certificate if such certificate is awarded on the basis
of successful completion of the General Educational Development Tests
of the American Council on Education and is approved by the Department of Public Instruction.
ADVANCED STANDING

Application for admission to advanced standing should be made to
the Registrar. The institution last attended should be asked to send the
Registrar a transcript of all work accepted for admission, and of all work
completed, accompanied by a letter of honorable dismissal.

�REGISTRATION

Students must register on the dates fi."Ced at the beginning of each
term, when all course schedules are completed and fees for the term
are due.
The maximum registration allowed a student during his first semester
is the normal amount for the particular course as specified in the catalogue. In succeeding semesters a student may be allowed additional
hours beyond the normal requirement, provided the student's record
indicates ability to carry a heavier schedule. A student will not be permitted to carry more than twenty hours without permission of the
Dean.

Preparation for Professions and Vocations
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, aeroplane, 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 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 t~ 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 vocational, 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.

18

19

�LIBRARY WORK
LAW

Preparation for practice of the 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. Requirements can usually be
met in the four-year course of accredited colleges and universities.

Librarians are generally expected to complete a four-year college
course before beginning their special 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 also desirable.
JOURNALISM

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.
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 of
science take the B.S. or degrees in such specialized fields as engineering.
Certification is usually based on the following requirements: the
college degree, specialized courses in education, and some specialization
in teaching subjects. Bucknell University is authorized by the Sta~e
Department of Public Instruction to prepare secondary teachers m
most of the usual :fields of high school instruction and offers work
in Wilkes-Barre for the benefit of school teachers and Wilkes College
students.
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 the demands they must meet.
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. It has been further accelerated by the war need
for nurses of superior intelligence and capacity. A number of hospitals
and universities now offer three years of training with a B.S. 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.

20

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 to
fit in with 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 interest of the United States in other countries and its participation in
international affairs makes 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, the yearbook, or the
literary magazine.
SPEAKING AND DRAMATICS

The College offers preliminary work in speech. Courses in speech and
dramatics, practical experience in debating and play production afford
opportunity for development in this field.
SOOAL 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 economics, biology, and allied fields, provides a
valuable background.
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

21

�upon to do the work of both. The chemist usually works in the laboratories, analysing, studying, and per£ ecting 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 and chemical plants need
technical training, as do salesmen for specialized products, buyers for
manufacturing concerns, many fields of government service, and similar 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.

GENERAL OPPORTUNITIES

Promotion or advancement is often made possible by additional training. It is sometimes practicable for students who are employed 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.
Anyone interested in some special opening not included in this list
of the major professions and vocations should consult the Registrar
and the professors in charge of related subjects. They will be glad to
discuss appropriate courses.

ENGINEERING

Bucknell University grants degrees in chemical, civil, electrical, and
mechanical engineering. The first two years of work in these four-year
courses may be taken at Wilkes College. Students may also transfer
their credits to other engineering schools if they make their plans in
advance. With slight modification of program, students may complete
the first two years of work in such types of engineering as aeronautical,
mining and metallurgical, and industrial, although Bucknell University
does not grant degrees in these fields.
Two years of the engineering curriculum affords a foundation for a
wide range of occupations. Students desiring such technological training should consult the Registrar or the engineering faculty when planning their programs.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Training applicable to most fields of business is offered in the three
programs of the Commerce and Finance curriculum. The General Course
is for those desiring a broad business background; the Secretarial Course
for secretarial positions; the Business Education Course for teachers of
business subjects.
The Commerce and Finance curriculum covers business princi plcs and
practice; it also includes Liberal Arts electives. This diversification of
program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for
a business, secretarial, or teaching career. Young men and women with
this broad cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities
closed to those lacking such training.

�outlined at the beginning of the freshman year, although there may be
some shifting of courses at the beginning of the sophomore year.

General Regulations
Regular attendance in class is expected of all students.
A student is also expected to attend all assemblies during his freshman and sophomore years unless excused by the Deans. Students failing
to meet this requirement will not receive their grades until an arrangement for satisfying this requirement is made with the Dean.
Any student withdrawing from the college should promptly notify

the Registrar.
REPORTS

Students receive oral reports from their faculty advisers in the middle
of each term; written reports are mailed home at the end of each term.
The grades have the following significance:
A-Excellent
D-Passing
B-Good
Con-Condition
C-Average
I-Incomplete
F-Failure

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

Candidates for graduation must meet requirements as to both quantity
and quality of work. The student must have completed one hundred
and twenty hours of academic work plus four hours in Physical Education, unless he has been excused from the latter by the College upon
certification by a physician that he is physically disqualified. In addition,
the student must have earned one hundred and twenty-four quality
credits, including four quality credits for Physical Education.
Candidates for the Junior College certificate must complete the require.
ments in their selected course and must earn at least sixty quality credits.
Quality credits must also equal at least 95 per cent of the semester hours
of work taken ·in college.
No student notably deficient in the use of spoken or written English
will be recommended for graduation until he has satisfied the faculty
that his deficiencies have been corrected.

Quality credit "points" are assigned to each grade as follows:
Each hour of A grade, 3 points
Each hour of B grade, 2 points
Each hour of C grade, 1 point
Each hour of D grade, O points
QUALITY CREDITS

A student earning no better than a passing grade in all of his work
will scarcely receive sufficient benefit to justify continuation of his college
course. To enter the sophomore class, the student is therefore required
to have earned a minimum of 20 quality credits during his freshman
year. To continue at Wilkes or Bucknell for more than two years, a
student must have earned not less than 50 quality credits. To enter the
senior class, a minimum of 85 quality credits is required. For graduation a student must have a minimum of 124 quality credits. The quality
credits also must equal at least 95 per cent of the semester hours taken
by the student.
SELECTION OF A MAJOR FIELD

Students should select a major field and arrange their schedules to
satisfy all requirements. The complete program should be tentatively

24

�BACHELOR OF ARTS
The Liberal Arts course makes available to the student the accumulated wisdom of mankind. It helps him to identify the basic values of
modern civilization and to discover objectives worthy of a lifetime's
interest and effort. It may also contribute to his preparatiqn for a
specific vocation.

College Curricula
The College offers courses leading to both the B.A. and B.S. degrees.
Four years of work are offered in the Liberal Arts, Biology, Chemistry,
and Commerce and Finance.
Only the freshman and sophomore years in Physics and Engineering
may be taken at Wilkes College. The college has made arrangements to
place students in the junior year of the engineering schools at Bucknell
University or at other colleges chosen by the students.
Students, wishing to teach in high schools, may elect the liberal arts
and scientific courses, although the required courses in education must
be taken with Bucknell University under a special plan arranged by the
University and the College.
For students planning less than four years of study the College offers
other programs. Two-year terminal courses are offered in music, radio
production, secretarial training, and laboratory technology. Special programs may be arranged for persons interested in a program of study
suited to their particular needs and interests.
Before completing his program, a student should always consult his
faculty adviser or the Dean, thereby preventing misunderstandings and
disappointments.

To provide the breadth of vision required in the Liberal Arts, it is
necessary that a student explore several fields of knowledge. Therefore
the work of the student is spread in four fields from which he must
select certain courses.
To provide depth of knowledge it is necessary that the student concentrate in one of these four fields. In his field of concentration it is
necessary that he take at least 24 hours in one subject and in addition
one-half of the work of the junior and senior years should be confined
to other subjects within the same field. Exceptions to this rule occur
in the fields of Mathematics, the Social Studies, and Philosophy.
A major in Mathematics must take 24 hours in courses numbered
above 200 but is not required to take one half of the work of his junior
and senior years in related fields.
A major in the Social Studies will take 18 hours in one of four subjects, History, Economics, Political Science, or Sociology, of which
nine semester hours must be in courses numbered above 200. In addition, he must take six semester hours in each of the other three
subjects.
A major in Philosophy may consist of 3 3 hours distributed over the
departments of Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion. Not less than
nine hours will be allowed in any one of these departments.
The selection of work is to be made under the direction of the
student's adviser. Substitutions to meet the needs of individual cases
may be allowed with the consent of the student's adviser and the Dean.
A well-planned program enables students to prepare for secondary
school and college teaching or administration, government service,
social work, journalism, the fine arts, law, and accounting.
The following courses are not accepted toward a major: Biological
Science 100; Chemistry 101, 102; Economics 116, 123, 124, 125, 135,
136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 235, 236; English 101, 102, 121, 131, 132;

Electives should be divided between economics and liberal arts courses according
to the interests and vocational objectives of each student.

�BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
The engineer's main purpose is to apply scientific knowledge and
discoveries to the uses of civilization. He is obliged to specialize because
of the vast range of modern engineering techniques. In selecting his
particular field, the student should consult 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 needed to sell applications and equipment. As his experience broadens and his judgment matures, the engineer qualifies for the higher executive and administrative positions.

His services are indispensable in the design of river, canal, and harbor
improvements; in the development and control of water resources, treatment and disposal of sewage and industrial waste; and in the location
and construction of all transportation facilities.
ELECTRICAL 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.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering is basic for the study of aeronautical engineering. Bucknell University does not offer the last two years in this
field, but its first two years in mechanical engineering qualify the student
for the advanced work offered by several universities.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Students desiring to become chemical engineers may select one of
three courses. All take a two year course at Wilkes College. They, then,
may transfer to a school -0f their choice to complete the four year course
for a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. They may take the B.A. degree in
chemistry at Wilkes College and then enter another institution for specialized training in engineering taking a B.S. in Chemical Engineering:
This is frequently done in larger colleges and universities. Sometimes the
B.S. degree is taken first and then the B.A. degree. This allows for a
liberal education which is the best preparation for success in all fields of
pure and applied sciences. The other choice is to terminate their formal
education at the end of the second year. They are then prepared for careers
as assistants in industrial plants or laboratories, draftsmen, electricians,
shopforemen, or salesmen.
CIVIL ENGINEERING

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.

36

The mechanical engineer specializes in the application of mechanical
power to industry. It is his job to utilize power economically, whether
by diesel, gas, or steam propulsion. He applies it in refrigeration, transportation, and other fields. He is responsible for the design, constructi-0n,
and maintenance of the machinery used in transportation and in other
fields of engineering.

The College offers the first two years of the Engineering curriculum.
A more complete statement in regard to engineering as a profession
will be found in the Engineering Bulletin of Bucknell University. AU
engineering students will receive this Bulletin.

�MEDICAL STENOGRAPHY*

RADIO PRODUCTION

Medical secretaries require special training so that they may possess
an intelligent understanding of the work in which they will assist the
physician. To provide this essential background the secretarial courses
are supplemented by courses in biology, physiology, and bacteriology.

As the influence of radio increases, it will inevitably demand men and
women possessed of broad training and specialized technical skills. This
course does not pretend to develop experts in radio production and
programming, but it does aid to create familiarity with broadcasting in
combination with courses in general education.

Laboratory periods in bacteriology and physiology are not required
for the secretarial students, but they will attend all lectures and meet all
other requirements of these two courses. The courses in secretarial accounting and office procedures will be adapted to the needs of students
preparing to work in a medical office.

The Chemistry Department offers four-year curricula leading to a B.A.
or B.S. in Chemistry, a B.S. in Biochemistry. The aim of the department
is to train students thoroughly in the fundamentals of the various
branches of chemistry.
For a B.S. degree 57 semester hours in chemistry (more than meeting
the requirements of the American Chemical Society), and, in addition,
foundation courses in physics, mathematics, and a minimum of certain
.social and humanistic subjects are required. This curriculum is planned
primarily for those desiring to enter industrial laboratories immediately
after graduation.
The curriculum for a B.A. degree is planned for students who wish
to become professional chemists, or to enter a graduate school of chemistry. Students graduating with a B.S. in pure chemistry meet the admission requirements of standard graduate schools and are eligible for recommendation for assistantships, scholarships, teaching or employment in
chemical industry and government service. Only thirty four hours of
chemistry, a year of physics and mathematics through calculus are required for this degree. This permits a broader education which is the
equipment of every well educated man and which is essential for the
proper training of chemists, because of its practical application in industrial, business and civic life.
A B.A. in biochemistry requires less chemistry and mathematics and is
recommended to those who intend to become physicians, druggists, home
economists, medical technicians, nurses, dentists, patent lawyers, secondary school teachers, or enter the laboratories of manufacturers of drugs,
dairy and various food products. It is the most pliable and permits other
fields of minor concentration.
Students desiring to take an A.B. degree in Chemistry should elect
chemistry and mathematics in both their freshmen and sophomore years.
In addition, they should start German in their sop11omore year.

47

�Students desiring to take an A.B. in Biochemistry should elect chemistry and mathematics in their freshmen year and chemistry and biology
in their sophomore year.
All students in chemistry during the last semester of their sophomore
year should seek the advice of the Head of the Chemistry Department
and a special Curriculum will be arranged to meet their particular abilities, interests and aims.

�Scholarships and Assistance

Student Activities

To aid superior students in need of financial assistance, the College
makes every effort to provide scholarships. Applications for such aid
and for work may be made through the Registrar.
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 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

COMPETITIVE

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.
All competitors must apply for admission to the College to be eligible
1
for the test.
LOAN FUND

The Wyoming Valley Women's Club has created a revolving loan
fund from which small sums may be borrowed on a personal note. Loans
of $50 per year may be borrowed from a similar fund held by the College. No interest accrues while the student is enrolled in the College,
but interest is charged when the student leaves the College.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

More than one-third of the students are earning some part of their
College expenses. Students desiring work should apply to the Dean of
Men. A number of part-time jobs are available; requests for student
help are frequently received from local business offices.
PLACEMENT SERVICE

A placement office for students and graduates is centered in the office
of the Deans. All students interested in obtaining employment are requested to register in this office. Employers seeking students for parttime employment are requested to make inquiries at this office.
Graduates of the College, or those in their last year who seek immediate employment upon graduation, are invited to register.
The Seligman

J. Strauss Lodge of B'nai B'rith is sponsoring

this office

To provide a coordinating 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.
CHORUS

A mixed chorus gives several public recitals, broadcasts programs
over the radio, and meets for training twice a week. Members of the
chorus meeting College requirements may receive one credit each year
for this work. The chorus is directed professionally, but its business
affairs are handled by a student manager.
PUBLICATIONS

Amnicola, an annual yearbook; a newspaper, the Beacon; and
Manuscript, a literary magazine, are published by the students. Those
interested in writing, photography, 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. Students may earn credits for
debating if their work attains required standards.

available.
The athletic program for women includes: rhythmic dancing, archery,
badminton, bowling, bicycling, hiking, swimming, tennis, ice hockey,

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

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

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

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-

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
recent expansion of health services in Federal Agencies and by increased
governmental support to medical programs.

In the modern world, the application of Physics to everyday life i:;
becoming more and more common but is, perhaps, not sufficiently

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.

BAND
The College band is organized for the furtherance of instrumental
experience, performs at all athletic events, and gives concerts through-

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 t? all
students who pass an elementary voice test. Previous vocal exp~nenc;
O
and the ability to read music at sight are important but not required f
members. The chorus meets three times each week for the study

�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, and Commerce and Finance, 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.

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_ 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.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

60

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.

SECRET ARIAL COURSE
RADIO PRODUCTION

~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.

PSYCHOLOGY
PSY.

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
255 is acceptable.
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.

�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

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.

Training and skill are required in many iields, but they are not

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.

SCIENCES
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Training and skill are required in many iields, but they are not

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.

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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 cultural background find themselves eligible for opportunities closed to those lacking such training.

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.

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.

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.

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.

�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

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.

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:

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.

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 $5.00.
The maximum registration recommended for each course and covered by the tuition charge of $225 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

Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed
a sufficient cause for failure.
~tudents are required to attend the weekly assemblies during each of
their four years. They will, however, be allowed the following nwnber

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.

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.

�38

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 .

MUSIC
LABORATORY AND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

A two-year course in music is offered for those who wish to extend their
musical training without devoting four years to a college program. Ordinarily
such a restricted course should be followed by more advanced study and instruction. It is possible, however, during two years of concentrated study, to
establish a sound foundation in the fundamentals of music.

The following requirements for laboratory technicians or me~ical technologists are those set forth by the Registry of Medical Technolowsts of _the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Students who complete this terminal
curriculum are eligible to apply for registration.

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.

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.

�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.
E~rly in World War II, from February, 1943, to June, 1944, a
conttngent 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,
~e 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 farulty 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.

WILKES COLLEGE

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
McOintock Hall, the building, together with the other three 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.
Generous monetary gifts have enabled the College to adapt these
properties to its purposes and to equip them completely. In the fourteen
years following the promise of autonomy by the University, College
assets have been increased by more than $2,600,000.

WILKES COLLEGE

CURRICULA

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 trans£er as a junior
to an institution that grants a degree in his field.
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.

Five consecutive absences from a class place a student on probation.
He may be readmitted to the class only by aaion 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 - three cuts.
Junior year - eight cuts.
Senior year - £ifteen cuts.
If the student fails to satisfy the requirements for any year it will
be necessary for him to make up the excess cuts by increasing his
attendance during the following year. All requirements must be satisfied before graduation.
His seat for the assembly will be assigned at registration.
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 studied at such universities, colleges, and
professional schools as Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell University, Dickinson, Eastman School of Music, Louisiana State University,
Minnesota, National Academy of Design, 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.
LIBRARY

The Kirby Home for Education, the College library, houses approximately 27,000 volumes of expertly selected books and bound
periodicals.
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.
The library is staffed by three professional librarians and a number
of student employees. Its light, attractive reading rooms on the first,
second, and third floors have a total seating capacity of 178.

UREERS 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
foreignlevel.
institutions of learning, especially at the graduate or professional
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
st_udenf s personal, educational, and vocational objectives at the time of
h1s 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, interest,, and aptitudes. He has opportunities throughout his college
career to cons~t with his faculty adviser concerning his scholastic
prog,ess ot soc,a1 and personal problems with which he needs help.
.1be Deans . cooperate with faculty advisers in providing students
"'•th mformatton and guidance wherever possible, and the College
urges students to avail themselves of their services.

�STUDENT WELFARE

WILKES COLLEGE

31

30

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,
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 everyday living and college adjustment. By placing responsibility
upon the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the
College encourages dear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
COLLEGE CONSULTA110N 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
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 tl1e services that are available rnay be gained from a
statement of services that already have been offered.
During ,the war, special courses in drafting, mathem,atic.s, and engineerjng were offered to prepare persons for w9rk in defense pla~ts.

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.
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 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.
HORAL 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
~embers. 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.

LAW
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,
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 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. 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.
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.
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.

NURSING

The demand for nurses prepared to assume administrative, supervisory,
and instructional duties has for years far exceeded the supply of trained
personnel. In cons~quence, schools of nursing and_ hospitals. are constantly seeking qualified nurses. To enable persons mterested m such a
career to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a course
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. In
this five-year program three years of basic nursing education 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 for students to take the first year
of college study, with minor modifications, before entering a school of
nursing and to complete the requirements for the degree after obtaining
a nursing-school diploma and State registration.
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

FOR
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS

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.
ATURE OF TH E 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 b:ised. For the sake of simplicity, these subjects are classified
into three divisions in which the student will carry on his explorations and from

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 mathematics or music choose their major when
they enter the College. The attention of students wishing to major in psychol·
ogy is drawn to note 1, page 46.
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 hours0
in each of the other three. Social-science courses required in the first tw
years shall not count toward this major.
Students preparing to teach in the public schools are required to take
rwenry hours in education to obrain certi&amp;cation. It is therefore impossible
for the prospective teacher of social studies to satisfy all of the requirement&gt;
mentioned above. For that reason, a student preparing to teach social stud!~1
in the public schools will receive credit toward the social-science major for •
required courses in economics, history, political science, and sociology-

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION

58

MME,RCE AND FINANCE

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 education{recedes and parallels basic training in the principles, theory,
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 instmction.
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 secondary school teaching should elect
a minimum of twenty-four semester hours in his major field of teaching and a
minimum of eighteen hours in at least one additional field. In these elections
consideration should be given not only to the interests of the student, but also
to the 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.

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, 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 interestea 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.

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, 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.

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
O,emical 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 be
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturlng processes which under·
lie 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.

MEDICAL STENOGRAPHY
SECRET ARIAL COURSE

Medical secre~aries require special training so that they may have an intelligent unde_rstandmg of their part in the work of a medical office. To rovide
th~ fttial background, the serretarial rourses are supplemented by tology
an a ?ratory courses in chemistry and physiology. The courses in secretarial
accoun~mg and offi_ce procedures are adapted to the needs of the students
prepanng for work ID the offices of physicians.

The two-year intensive secretarial program has a threefold purpose: to
provide a general eduration; 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.

The study of the theory of music is centered upon three main principles:

stration (examination) before the music faculty are necessary if credit
is to be obtained for such study.
Students who are not music majors may receive one credit each semester for voice or instrumental study. No examination is necessary if
credit is not desired by the student.
The ability, interest, and progress of students intending to major in
music will be evaluated at the end of the sophomore year by the music
faculty. Students will be advised before rhe opening of the following semester if the faculty does not recommend a continuation of the
music major.

(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 accordance with the method now employed in many of our leading schools
of music.
There is no prerequisite for Mus. 101. Students may be admitted
to Mus. 102, 103, and 104 by examination.

Treats one of the major approaches to the solution of the safety problem by means of developing better understanding of human nature and
methods of dealing with it. It may be assumed that man is interested in
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.

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.

MISS D OMINGUEZ

Supervision of psychological testing is o_ffered to individuals work~ng

one semester hour of credit.
Prerequisite: Psychology 255-256 or equivalent.

tional 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 Community Lecture Series
As a community college, Wilkes feels obligated co
provide opportunities for adults to co°:tinue ~h~~r education. It therefore offers, in the Evemng D1vmon, 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.

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.

�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

T

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

18

WILKES COLLEGE

zens 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, 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 ~cqu1S1tions and equip them completely. In th~ fo~rteen years followmg t_he
promise of autonomy by Bucknell University, assets have been mcreased by more than $2,600,000.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WILKES COLLEGE

CURRICULA

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_ p~ysics or the engineering program may transfer as a junior
to an mstttut1on that grants a degree in his field.
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
o~ 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.

23

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.
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 specified 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.
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
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

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.

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 $240 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.

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.

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.

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 studied at such universities, colleges, and
professional schools as Bucknell, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell University, Dickinson, Eastman School of Music, Louisiana State University,
Minnesota, National Academy of Design, 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.

27

�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.

causes difficulty. To assist students in making an early ad1ustment,
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 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

33

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 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 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

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
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.
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 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.

�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 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

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
~e 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 students who possess marked aptitude for either music or art.
Special 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.
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.

�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 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.

PICK

H

Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote: ·'Educated men are as much
s11perior 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 tr~ining 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 designed 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

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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.

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

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,
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. 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.
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.

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

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.

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 trammg required of
prospective ministers. The pre-theological student should learn the re9uirements of his denomination and its divinity schools. In general, the
liberal arts course, with a major or electives in religion and philosophy,
is appropriate.

WILKES COLLEGE

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 persons interested in such a
career to obtain the necessary preparation, the College offers a course
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. In
this five-year program three years of basic nursing education 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 for students to take the first year
of college study, with minor modifications, before entering a school of
nursing and to complete the requirements for the degree after obtaining
a nursing-school diploma and State registration.
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,

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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
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 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

PURPOSE

FOR
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS

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.

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 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.

Third Semester

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, 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.

For exception see page 44.
Electives will be chosen from academic subjects (Economics, Political Science, Psy•
chology, Sociology) or Nursing Education courses with approval of the adviser.

Chemical engineers will register for Chemistry 102 ( six hours) . All other engineering
students will register for Chemistry 104 ( four hours).

WILKES COLLEGE

DEGREE COURSES

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 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.

CIVIL ENGINEERING
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 and
industrial waste; and in the location and construction of all transportation
facilities.

ELECfRICAL 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.

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 mu.st
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 educacation after completing their secretarial training.

Medical secretaries require special training so that they may have an intelligent und~rstanding of their part in t~e work of a medical office. To provide
the essential backgrouD:d, the s_ecretanal cou~ses are supplemented by biology
and laboratory courses rn 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.

�SPECIAL COMMUNITY 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 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 Community Lecture Series
A~ a community college, Wilkes feels obligated to
pr~v1de opportunities for adults to continue their educanon.
..
·
d It therefore offers • in the Even1·ng 0·1v1s10n,
an
~n~ol' uctory ~r_o gram in adult education, from which
It e ieves posmve good will result.

1 Community _members who register for one of the
ecture courses m the series meet one evening a week
thr~ughout the ten or fifteen weeks the course is in
seSSion. They do not receive regular college credit.

l Given each semester, the lectures cost considerably
essll than the regular undergraduate courses at the
C o ege.
an

Jhe present ~rogram includes series in current events
art for busmess and professional persons.

Further information concerning the prooram may be
secured from the Director of Admissions. o

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.

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.
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

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 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

�34

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
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.
Special 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.

�38

WILKES COLLEGE

Mr. Andrew J. Sordoni has endowed a scholarship which will be
used to assist 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
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
and neighbor of the College, and for years an outstanding leader in

�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 NURSING EDUCATION
The course in nursing education is designed for the preparation of instructors, head nurses, and supervisors in hospitals and schools of nursing. It presupposes graduation from an approved school of nursing and State registration.1 Credits required for the degree are one hundred twenty-four, of which
at least sixty-four must be college credits. The number of credits allowed for
the school of nursing program ranges from forty to sixty and will be determined by an evaluation of the student's record and by results obtained on the
Graduate Nurse Qualifying Examination.
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE AND WILKES COLLEGE
Lebanon Valley College and Wilkes College have entered into a cooperative program whereby nurses working in the vicinity of Annville and Lebanon
may earn a degree in Nursing Education from Wilkes College by taking their
academic credits on the campus at Lebanon Valley College and their professional credits at Wilkes, either in extension at the Hospital or in residence at
Wilkes-Barre.
The usual residence requirements for a degree in Nursing Education may be
satisfied by taking one-half the work on the campus at Lebanon Valley College
and the other one-half at 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.

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.

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

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.

Marks of An Educated Man . ..
l. 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 attain-

ments. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

�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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

�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.

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

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.

FOR
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS

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.

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.

LABORATORY AND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

MUSIC

TI1e following requirements for laboratory technicians or medical technologists are those set forth by the Registry of Medical Technologists of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Students who complete this terminal
curriculum are eligible to apply for registration.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Biology:
Twelve semester hours, of which ten hours must be in zoology. Additional
courses which may be taken to fulfill this requirement are histology, embryology, comparative anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, and hygiene.
Chemistry:
Twelve hours of general inorganic chemistry, including laboratory work.
Four hours of quantitative analysis, including laboratory work.

A two-year course in music is offered for those who wish to extend their
musical training without devoting four years to a college program. Ordinarily
such a restricted course should be followed by more advanced study and instruction. It is possible, however, during two years of concentrated study, to
establish a sound foundation in the fundamentals of music.

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.

Students who have had shorthand and typewriting in high school may substitute electives for one or more of the courses in the stenographic skills, provided they demonstrate adequate skill. Placement examinations will be given
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

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.

�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

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.

�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.
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
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

35

�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

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.

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.

CIVIL ENGINEERING
The civil engineer deals with problems in structural, highway, railroad,
hyd~au!ic, a_nd sanitar~ engineering,. and also with surveying and geodesy. He
specializes m the design, construct10n and maintenance of bridges, tunnels,
?ams, and _the stru~ural members of buildings. His services are indispensable
m the design of river, canal, and harbor improvements; in the development
~nd co1:1trol of water r~sources; in _the treatment and disposal of sewage and

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.

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.
