�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.

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.

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

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.

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.

SAFETY EDUCATION-

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

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

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

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

training for work in a new field.

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

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

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

�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-

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

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

CAREERS

LIBRARY

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

bel.

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

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

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

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

SCHOLARSHIPS

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

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

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

science and technology reduce the size of the world, and man's mobility

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

program enables the student to secure a comprehensive foundation for
business, secretarial, public service, or teaching career. Young men and

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.

The demand for trained social workers has grown enormously i~ r~cent years. Taxpayers rebel against the wastefulness of haphazard di 5tr1·

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.

MUSIC

I

\

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.

MUSIC
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 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.

�A History of the College

T

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

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

�18

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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.

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.

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.

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

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN COMMERCE AND FINANCE

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

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

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING

Major in Secretarial Studies

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

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

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

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

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

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

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

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

�The Evening Division

SPECIAL COMMUNITY LECTURE SERIES
137

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

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

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

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

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-

�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.
ACCREOITMENT

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

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

GRADES

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

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

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

DEAN'S LIST

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

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

25

WITHDRAWALS

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

"WF."

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

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

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

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

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

PROBATION

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

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

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

�GENERAL INFORMATION

27

WILKES COLLEGE

26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

�Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

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

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

�32

W ILKES COLLEGE

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

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

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

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

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

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

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

�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.

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
business and community life.

�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.

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

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

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

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

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

�A History of the College

T

o PROVIDE opportunities for education comparable to those offered
by other communities of the nation, Bucknell University, in 1933,
established a two-year center in Wilkes-Barre and named it Bucknell
University Junior College. Prior to that year, Wilkes-Barre and the
Wyoming Valley comprised the largest community in Pennsylvania, if
not in the United States, lacking a local college.
For several years the Junior College was maintained on an 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-

HISTORY

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

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

CURRICULA

ADVANCED STANDING

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

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

TERMINAL PROGRAMS

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

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

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

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

GRADES

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

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

to his class, he

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

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

�26

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

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

27

EXPENSES
FACULTY

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

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

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

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

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

�Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

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

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

�STUDENT WELFARE

WILKES COLLEGE

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

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

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

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

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

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

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

�3·1

WILKES COLLEGE

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

Student Activities

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

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

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

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

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

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

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

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

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

�36

WILKES COLLEGE

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

Scholarships and Awards

ORCHESTRA

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

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

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

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

�42

WILKES COLLEGE
PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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

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

LIBRARY WORK

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

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

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

JOURNALISM

MEDICINE

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

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

43

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

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

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

�44

WILKES COLLEGE

PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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

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

PHYSICS

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

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

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

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

TEACHING

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

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

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

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

SELECTION OF

A

MAJOR

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

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 regist_ration.1 Credits required for the degree ~re one hundred twenty-[our, 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 wi!l be determined by an evaluation of the student's record and by results obtarned 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 vicin~ty of Annville and ~ebano_n
may earn a degree in Nursing Education from Wilkes College by ta½mg 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.

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.

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

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

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

SECRETARIAL COURSE

MEDICAL STENOGRAPHY

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

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

PSYCHOLOGY
Instructor R. Riley, chairman; Assistant Professor Dominguez; Instructor Kanner.
A major in psychology consists of twenty-four hours. Psychology

135

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

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

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

Three hours

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

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

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

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

�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-

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.

EXTENSION CLASSES

General Information

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

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

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

WILKES COLLEGE

ADVANCED STANDING

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

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

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

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

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

Average
1.4
1.7
1.85

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

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

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

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

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

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

�GENERAL INFORMATION

WILKES COLLEGE

26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ATTENDANCE

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

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

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

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

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

�STUDENT WELFARE

Student Welfare
CAREERS LIBRARY

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

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

33

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

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

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

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

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

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

37

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

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

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

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

DRAMATICS

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

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

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

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

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

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

�SCHOLARSHIPS AND AW ARDS

39

Scholarships and Awards

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

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

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

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS

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

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

�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.

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.

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
mdustnal waste; and m the locat10n and construction of all transportation
facilities.

icals, solvents, and many others. The chemical engineer is one skilled in the
design, construction, operation and management of industrial plants in which
materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engineer may bt
engaged in research or in the development of a process, for he is expert in
the application of the fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes
a thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics and a sound
understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical, and electrical
engineering as will make him a competent development, control or sales
engineer.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

A History of the College

T

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

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

�20

WILKES COLLEG E

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

CURRICULA

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

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

General Information

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

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

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

WILKES COLLEGE

ADVANCED ST.ANDING

A student who wishes to transfer to the College from another insti•
tution should follow the regular procedure for admission. He should
request the college or university from which he desires to transfer to

student, a faculty adviser will counsel him concerning his new schedule.
The transferred credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the stu•
dent following a final evaluation at the end of his first term at the
College.
A student who has no credits to transfer but who is equipped to enter
advanced courses in college may enroll in such courses upon passing a
placement examination. Although he will not receive credit for the
courses that he has omitted, he will be spared the necessity of repeating
work that he has previously covered outside of college.
MARKS

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

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

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

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

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

USE OF MARKS

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

Two-YEAR ENGINEERING AND PHYSICS CERTIFICATES

Certificates in engineering and physics will be awarded to students

four cuts.

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

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

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

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

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

Student Welfare
LlREERS LIBRARY

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

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

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

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

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

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

STUDENT WELFARE

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

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

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

35

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

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

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

37

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

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

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

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

MADRIGAL SINGERS

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

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

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

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

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

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

PUBLICATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

�38

WILKES COLLEGE

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

Scholarships and A wards
GUIDING PRINCIPLES

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

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

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

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

LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS

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

As these awards are made in expectation that the qualities of leadership manifested in high school will be demonstrated in t~e College, the
scholarships will be awarded for one year only, but will be renewe_d
annually if the student's performance in College measures up to his
promise in high school.

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

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

LAW

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

WILKES COLLEGE
PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

LIBRARY WORK

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

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

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

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

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

49

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

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

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

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

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

�50

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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

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

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

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

Degree Programs

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

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

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

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

Students planning to major in mathematics should take courses in high
school that will prepare them to start their college program with the cour e
in Analytic Geometry. Unfortunately, all students will not qualify for this
course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. Taking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman
year, or
2. Starting the Freshman year with Math. 105, taking Analytic Geometry, Math. 122, in the second semester, and then completing the
first course in Calculus, Math. 125, in the summer between the
Freshman and Sophomore years.

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

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

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

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

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

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

INTRODUCTION TO

Musrc- Three hours
MR. DETROY, MR. MORAN

An elementary course in the art of enjoying and listening to music.
Non-technical, it covers briefly the entire range of music in various
forms, styles, and media. Emphasis is placed upon enlarging the musical
horizon through the use of a considerable number of illustrations.

Mus. 101-102-103-104.

THEORY OF

Music- Five credits each course
MR. DETROY,

MR.

MORAN

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

�TRAINING PROGRAM - LECTURE SERIES

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

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

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

�IN PERSPECTIVE

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

?Y

:I,

19

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

�20

WILKES COLLEGE

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

�GENERAL INFORMATION

23

CURRICULA

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

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

General Information

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

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

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

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

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

�24

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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

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

special mark for English usage are given

Interpretation
Superior
Very Good
2

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

Although the primary purpose of any marking system is to inform

GENERAL INFORMATION

25

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

Average
1.4
1.7
1.85

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

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

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

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

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

�26

WILKES COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION

1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

27

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

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

four cuts.

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

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

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

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

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

�28

WILKES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

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

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

Student Welfare
UREERS LIBRARY

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

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

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

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

COUNSELING

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

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

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

�34

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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

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

STUDENT WELFARE

35

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

�STUDENT ACTIVITIES

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

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

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

37

CHORAL CLUB

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

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

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

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

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

PUB LI CATIO NS

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

DRAMATICS

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

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

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

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

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

�38

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

�40

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

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

�42

WILKES COLLEGE
TYPES OF AID

HALL

�PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS

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

work.

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

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

47

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

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

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

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

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

LIBRARY WORK

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

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

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

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

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

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

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

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

PHYSICS

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

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

WILKES COLLEGE

SOCIAL WORK

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

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

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

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

BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

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

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

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

Humanities
Art
English
Foreign Languages
Mathematics
Music
Philosophy
Religion

Social Sciences
Economics
Education
History
Political Science
Sociology

Sciences

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Psychology

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

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

course, and, in consequence, it will be necessary for them to start with a more
elementary course in College Algebra and Trigonometry, Math. 105.
This deficiency can be made up by:
1. Taking Math. 105 in the summer session preceding the Freshman

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

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

WILKES COLLEGE

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

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

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

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

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

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

TRAINING PROGRAM - LECTURE SERIES

151

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

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

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

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

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

Students may substitute College Board Examinations when it
is more convenient to take these tests than to make a special trip
to Wilkes-Barre.

Wilkes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

�Page 28 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

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

Educational Resources
THE LIBRARY

Kirby Hall, the gift of Allen P. Kirby, houses the College
library. Students and faculty use the resources of its periodical
and reference rooms and depend on the more than 50,000 volumes and some 400 current periodicals and journals for research
and reading assignments.
Shelved on open stacks, the books are easily accessible and may
be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Reserve books for particular courses circulate for the time period specified by the
, instructor.
The library is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 A.M.
to 9:30 P.M. and on Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; on
Saturday from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. During vacation periods
the hours are 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; during examination
periods from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
The services of the two community libraries, the Osterhout
Free Library in Wilkes-Barre and the Hoyt Library in Kingston,
are also available to students.

SCIENCE FACILITIES
Stark Hall, named in honor of Admiral Harold R. Stark and
completed in 1958, houses the science departments of the college.
These facilities include 5 physics laboratories completely
equipped for studies in all fields of the physical sciences; 5 chemical laboratories equipped for instruction and research in all fields
of chemistry; 5 biology laboratories completely equipped for instruction and research in the biological sciences.
In addition to the completely equipped class laboratories in
each department, there are thirteen faculty offices equipped for
research, two photographic dark rooms, animal rooms, greenhouse
facilities, and student research rooms available for undergraduate
studies.

�Page 30 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

RESEARCH

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

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

STUDENT c;ovERNMENT

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

INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL

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

�Page 32 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

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

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

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

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

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

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

�Page 36 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

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

The Academic Program
of the College

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

Learning
at

Wilkes

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

DEGREE PROGRAMS

Wilkes is a liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural

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

4 ............ . .. . .... . .. Superior

3 ..... . ................. Very good

FACULTY REQUIREMENTS - Page 4~

COURSE CREDITS

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

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

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

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

student maintain a 1.85 over-all average and a 2.0 over-all
average in his major field.

�Advanced Study

College and Community

PREPARATION FOR PROFESSIONS

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

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

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

�Page 52 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN

INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
The Institute of Municipal Government, developed from the
activities of the Political Science department, offers an educational program for public officials. By providing training, the
Institute informs locally elected or appointed public leaders of
modern practices in government. The Institute does not campaign or enter politics. The Institute does cooperate with

timely articles related to the responsibilities of local officials
interested in the rehabilitation of the region.
The Institute has offered courses to magistrates, borough and
township secretaries, police, councilmen and commissioners,
health officers, and school directors. During the past five years
over one hundred merit awards have been presented to outstanding local officials for service to their communities.

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.
DIVISIONS

Humanities

Social Sciences

Sciences

Art
English
Foreign Languages
Mathematics
Music
Philosophy
Religion

Economics
Education
History
Political Science
Sociology

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Psychology

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

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

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

�Page 56 - WILKES COLLEGE BULLETIN
DEGREE PROGRAMS - Page 57

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

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

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

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

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMISTRY

Seventh Semester

The chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training in the
fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the general education of the
student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry immediately upon graduation or may continue their studies in graduate school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete one
hundred thirty-four credits. These credits include forty-five in chemistry,
thirty-two in physics and mathematics, fifteen to twenty-one in the social
sciences and psychology, twenty-one to thirty-three in the hwnanities, and
the language requirement.
Students planning to major in Chemistry or Physics should take courses in
high school that prepare them to start the college mathematics program with
the course in Analytic Geometry. However, since not all students are prepared
for this course, the program may be started with the course in College Alg&lt;:bra
and Trigonometry. Students doing the latter should plan to finish Differential
Equations and Infinite Series by the end of the fourth semester. This may be
accomplished in several ways:
1. Math. 107 and Math. 109 may be taken in the summer session preceding the freshman year.
2. After completion of Math. 105 and Math. 122 in the freshman year,
Math. 125 may be taken in the summer session between the freshman
and sophomore years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

�COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY - Page 9

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

Office of Community Services
In cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, The Industrial Fund, and other community groups, the College has provided for some years a program designed for the improvement
of labor-management relations and for the study of modern
practices in local government. These efforts have been maintained on a minimum basis by funds from the College, the
Chamber of Commerce, local governments, and other civic
groups.
These local efforts have been recently strengthened by a grant
of $150,000 from the Ford Foundation. In consequence, the
work in both areas will be enlarged and a new Area Research
Center has been established at Wilkes College.

AREA RESEARCH CENTER

others; (2) to assure continuity of studies so that long-time
trends may be known and their significance in the local and
national scene may be understood; (3) to make special studies
for public and private groups, including municipalities, the
Industrial Fund, corporations, labor organizations, the Economy
League, school boards; (4) to cooperate with the Planning Commi sions of the City and County, with the United Fund, and with
other social agencies and civic organizations.

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

The Area Research Center provides professional direction and
secretarial and research assistance in cooperation with the county
and city development agencies, the Economy League, the Industrial Fund, the Committee of 100, the Chamber of Commerce,
employers, labor unions, the Planning Council of the United
Fund, and other agencies desiring special services.

As an integral part of the three-pronged Labor-Management
Training Program, union and management personnel sometimes
meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding
that is essential to constructive action.

The purposes of the Center are (1) to coordinate the many
studies of community problems and trends so that the results
may always be available to interested community groups and to

tional program for public officials. By providing trammg, the
Institute informs locally elected or appointed public leaders of
modern practices in government. The Institute does not campaign or enter politics. The Institute does cooperate with
municipal leagues and associations engaged in consultation and
research on the local governmental level.

Policies and Objectives
of the College

The Institute publishes a monthly Newsletter containing
timely articles related to the responsibilities of local officials
interested in the rehabilitation of the region.
The Institute has offered courses to magistrates, borough and
township secretaries, police, councilmen and commissioners,
health officers, and school directors. During the past five years
over one hundred merit awards have been presented to outstanding local officials for service to their communities.

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

made to maintain a homelike atmosphere. Students and their
families are invited to inspect these homes. Each room includes a
bureau, desk, chair, and a bed. Students will supply their own
blankets, towels, and linen.

3. Grants-in-aid and scholarships will be credited toward the
student's bill at the beginning of each term.

To provide assistance for those who need financial help, the
College receives substantial gifts from friends. These gifts provide
scholarship aid to those who are already making every effort to
help themselves.
In accepting any form of aid from the College the student
accepts an obligation-which is also the obligation of every other
conscientious student-to:
I. Maintain a good scholastic record.

2. Exert a constructive influence in the College and the community.
3. Participate constructively in an all-college activity of his
own choice.
In planning to meet any difference between his own resources
and the cost of education the student should consider a combination of work, loans, and scholarships.

COLLEGE COMMONS
The Commons serves as a dining hall for the resident students.
It also provides cafeteria service for commuting students.

Scholarships and grants are available to students with good
records of achievement and performance in high school or college
who cannot fully finance the cost of their college education and
who can demonstrate seriousness of purpose and effort.
A few honor scholarships are awarded without regard to need
to students of outstanding achievement in appreciation of their
contribution to the intellectual life of the group. The amount of
each grant will be determined by the Scholarship Committee.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
I. Students must be admitted to the College before their applications for scholarships will be considered.

• The amount is higher or lower depending upon the student's curriculum.

2. All applicants for scholarships must obtain an interview

is supported by a good academic record, by evidence of continued
need, and by constructive participation in at least one all-college
activity of his own choice.
8. The amount of the grant is confidential, and any breach of
this confidence shall terminate the scholarship.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE APPLICANT

PEG/AL LOAN FUND
The Florence and Joseph A. Goldman Loan Fund has been
created by the donors to assist Juniors and Seniors whose education may be interrupted by unexpected difficulties. The loan bears
no interest and is to be repaid by the student at the earliest practical time so that other students may also receive needed assistance
from this rotating loan fund.

Employment
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT
College makes strict demands on a student's time. The student
who finds it necessary to seek full-time employment during a
semester is advised to work a year and then apply for admission.
The College cautions the student to limit off-campus work,
especially during the freshman year, when working may result in
academic failure.
However, part-time jobs in offices, stores, and industry are
available for students wishing to earn part of their expenses.
For such jobs the student shall register with the College Placement Office.

CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT
The College also offers part-time employment at standard rates

Founders of Scholarships

made available from the interest of a fund established by the late
Miss Sturdevant.

Each year some 700 friends contribute to the scholarship fund
of the College on an annual basis. Other friends have created
scholarships which bear the names of the donors or of persons
whom they have memorialized by means of a scholarship.

JOHN WELLES HOLLENBACK SCHOLARSHIP. Miss Anna
Hollenback has created a scholarship in memory of her father,
John Welles Hollenback, and the annual interest of the principal is used for scholarship purposes.

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.

THE RICHARD H. ROYER SCHOLARSHIP is awarded annually to a student who has demonstrated outstanding ability in
his studies and in student activities.

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

bequest has been set aside for scholarships.

MR. HARLAND W. HOISINGTON gives an annual scholarship to assist students of high scholastic ability.

ANDREW J. SORDONI FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP.
This scholarship will be used to assist students of unusual
promise and proved ability.

Wilkes

Higher education is the area wherein men of
conviction are brought together in their
search for know ledge.

In college the teacher works with the student, challenging him to extend the limits of
his mind. He encourages him to think
courageously and truthfully and to create with
all his resources so that he may act with
independent judgment.
In a college community freedom of inquiry
and responsibility are essential.
In the world community the right of the
individual to differ safeguards the fri:!edom of
all men.
As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of
learning becomes the responsibility of
everyone.

The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage
the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to
assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all
he must learn to assume responsibility for all he does.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAJ\f
The transition from the directed work of the high school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the
term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their
academic program.
During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest,
foreign language, and English-placement tests. The week also
gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum,
and the student activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for
one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic,
and vocational objectives. Representatives of the Faculty discuss
with them:
1. Methods of intelligent self-directed study.

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

3. Values of the College extra-curricular program.
1. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy
of life.
By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and
conducting these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
STUDENT ADVISEMENT
Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social,
and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental

�Page 30 - COUNSELING

health affect his studies and his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructor ,
his faculty adviser, the Deans, or the Department Chairmen concerning his scholastic progress.

COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE
The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance
to students with difficulties of a personal or environmental
nature. Students may apply direct]y to the Consultation Service
for appointments or may arrange for consultation through the
Deans' Office. Interviews with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential basis.

Educational Resources
THE LIBRARY

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

ticular courses circulate for the time period specified by the
instructor.
The library is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 A.M.
to 9:30 P.M. and on Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; on
Saturday from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. During vacation periods
the hours are 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; during examination
periods from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
The services of the two community libraries, the Osterhout
Free Library in Wilkes-Barre and the Hoyt Library in Kingston,
are also available to students.

CIENCE FACILITIES
Stark Hall, named in honor of Admiral Harold R. Stark and
completed in 1958, houses the science departments of the college.
These facilities include 5 physics laboratories completely
equipped for studies in all fields of the physical sciences; 5 chemical laboratories equipped for instruction and research in all fields
of chemistry; 5 biology laboratories completely equipped for instruction and research in the biological sciences.

In addition to the completely equipped class laboratories in
each department, there are thirteen faculty offices equipped for
research, two photographic dark rooms, animal rooms, greenhouse
facilities, and student research rooms available for undergraduate
studies.

�Page 32 ,__ EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

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

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

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of
annually elected members representing the classes and other
tudent groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency;
it appropriates funds from the Student Activiti~s budget to a~l
tudent groups; it supervises the College social calendar; 1t
arranges the program for Homecoming; it establishes social regulations and conduct; and it serves in an advisory capacity to the
Director of Student Activities and the Administrative Council.

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

Intercollegiate athletics are introduced for the benefit of the
student body and in consequence athletes receive the same con~ide~ation in admissions and in the awarding of scholarships that
1s give~ . to ot_her students. Wilkes enters into intercollegiate
compet1t10n with other colleges of the Middle Atlantic Conference adhering to similar policies of admission and maintainino0
comparable scholastic standards.
The. College is a member of the Middle Atlantic Collegiate
~thlet1c Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

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

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

�Page 38 - STUDENT REGULATIONS

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

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

The Academic Program
of the College

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

Learning
at
Wilkes

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

Undergraduate Programs
Wilkes is a liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural
sciences. The College also confers the degree of Bachelor of
Science in chemistry and in physics, medical technology, commerce and finance, and elementary, secondary, art, business,
music, and nursing education.

ENGINEERING
Qualified students may enter the two-year engineering curriculum. Upon the successful completion of the engineering program
the student may transfer as a junior to an institution granting
degrees in his field.

TERMINAL PROGRAMS
tudents may earn terminal Certificates in the two-year secretarial and pre-dental curricula, in addition to the three-year
pre-dental program.

Graduate Programs
To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the
nation, Wilkes plans to introduce two new curricula leading to
the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics.
These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time
graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training
employed in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Full details of this program will be published in the Bulletin
of the Graduate Division.

COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION
Wilkes is cooperating with two universities, Bucknell and
Temple, to bring to the area graduate programs in education.

�CURRICULA - Page 43

Page 42 - CURRICULA

The Bucknell University program leads to the degree of
Master of Science in Education and satisfies the requirements of
the Commonwealth in guidance and administration. Courses
are offered in the evening.

The courses offered in the Evening Division are designed for
special value to the following groups:
1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations
who desire and need training to fit them for advancement.

The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master
of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers.

2. Men and women who wish to prepare themselves by study
and training for work in a new field.

Candidates may register at the College. Under the cooperative
program existing between Wilkes and the two universities, all
credits are granted by the universities.

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.

Details of these graduate programs may be obtained by writing
to the Director of Admissions.

EVENING DIVISION

4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and discussion courses offered in various business fields.
5. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to
increase their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction
and improvement.

The evening division offers educational opportunities to adults
who cannot attend day classes. Students may register for courses
in the Evening Division and earn credits toward an undergraduate degree.

Day School students will be allowed to take courses in the
Evening Division only after having received written permission
from the Deans or the Registrar.

Students will confer with the Director of the Evening Division
to arrange a course of study to meet their needs, abilities, and
special requirements. During the semester students will consult
with the Assistant Director of Evening Classes concerning their
program.

SUMMER SCHOOL

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

The Faculty offers selected courses during an eight week summer session, which begins in the third week of June.
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.

�FACULTY REQUIREMENTS - Page 45

Faculty Requirements
COURSE CREDITS

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

Grade

Interpretation

4 ....................... Superior
3 ....................... Very good

Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of
credits. For example, English 101 is a 3 credit course and English
151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course
are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per
week.
POINT AVERAGES

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

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

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

PROBATION
A student failing to meet these requirements must petition
the Deans' Probation and Evaluation Committee and convince
them that he merits another opportunity. All petitions must
be submitted by July 20.
Any student failing to meet the grade requirements for his
class, but permitted to return by action of the Deans' Committee, shall be given only one term to establish his ability and
willingness to meet the requirements of the College.

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

STUDENT LOAD
Students shall ordinarily be limited to the normal load for the
course of their choice. In the Liberal Arts this will be 16 hours
with Physical Education; in the Sciences it will sometimes be 17
or 18 hours. Any student wishing to carry an overload must
obtain the approval of his adviser and of the Dean.
The maximum load for students with a 3.0 average shall be 18
hours, and 20 hours the absolute maximum for all students.

Credits in excess of the normal load are charged at the usual
rate per credit, unless it can be shown that a student is compelled
to take an overload because of the rotation of courses within a
department.

WITHDRAWALS
Students may change their courses during the first two weeks
of a semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty
adviser and the Dean. A student who withdraws from a course
after the first two weeks but who continues other courses will
receive a zero unless the Dean, faculty adviser, and instructor agree
that the student be permitted to drop the course without prejudice.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's day school program for academic reasons will be permitted
to register in the Evening Division without the written consent
of the Deans and then will be allowed to register only as a nonmatriculating student.
Students who withdraw from the Evening Division or drop
courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the
Director of the Evening Division and to the instructors concerned, in order that their records may not unjustly show failure
in courses.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM
Students who wish to transfer from one department to another
shall obtain the approval of the Department Chairmen. The
student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of the Bulletin
in force at the time of transfer.

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS
Students desiring to study at another college during the summer must petition the Graduation Committee for approval. The
student must earn a grade of 2 or higher in order for the work
to be credited toward graduation. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take examinations before credit is granted.

Description of Courses

�Degree Programs
BACHELOR OF ARTS
PURPOSE

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

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

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, and it is essential that
it be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Students who expect to
take the Bachelor's degree in 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

BACHELOR OF ARTS

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.

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

The chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training in the
fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the general education of the
student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry immediately upon graduation or may continue their studies in graduate school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete one
hundred thirty-four credits. These credits include forty-five in chemistry.
thirty-two in physics and mathematics, fifteen to twenty-one in the social
sciences and psychology, twenty-one to thirty-three in the humanities, and
the language requirement.
Students planning to major in Chemistry or Physics should take courses in
high school that prepare them to start the college mathematics program with
the course in Analytic Geometry. However, since not all students are prepared
for this course, the program may be started with the course in College Algebra
and Trigonometry. Students doing the latter should plan to finish Differential

Beginning with the_ academic year 1961, a four-year curriculum leading
to the Ba~helor of Science in Physics will be inaugurated. The third year
courses will be offered for the first time in the fall of 1962; and in the fall
of 1963 the fourth year courses will be given.
. The physics curriculum is designed to provide a thorough grounding
m the fundam~ntals of this rapidly-~xpanding science, as well as to acquaint
the stu~ent with the c~rrent frontiers of knowledge and research. Upon
complet10n_ of the reqmrements for the degree, the student will be wellprepared either to proceed to graduate study leading to an advanced degree,
or to undertake an industrial position.
Students planning to major in physics should seek to complete high
school courses in trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra so that
they may begin their college mathematics with the course in analytic geometry. In event of a deficiency in this respect, it must be made up by summer
school attendance so that the course in differential equations can be completed before the beginning of the junior year.
A detailed curriculum for this program will be included m the next
issue of the bulletin.

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

and Sophomore years.

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.

The civil engineer deals with problems in structural, highway, railroad,
hydraulic, and sanitary engineering, and also with surveying and geodesy. HP
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 transport:itinn
facilities.

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, control or sales
engineer.

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, transistors, circuits, and equipment for commercial processes offers opportunities in many .fields of endeavor.

ENGINEERING PHYSICS

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The curriculum in engineering physics is designed to equip men with a
flexible background of basic scientific knowledge. The primary emphasis
is on the fundamental principles of physics. At the same time the engineering viewpoint is developed so that practical problems can be pushed to
completion. The first two y~ars of :Vork, offered at ~ilkes, are simi~ar to
those of the other engineering cumcula. They provide a sound basis for
study toward advanced degrees in either physics or specific fields of
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
derelopment and expansion affect our future.

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 req~iremen.ts. Prepar_at~on ~ith
a background in science, engineering, economics, ~usines~ adm1.n1stration,
management, and history is necessary. The successful indust~tal engineer n:iu~t
possess not only technical skill and ability b~t also economic and ~umantshc
interests, as well as character and personaltty. He must work w1~h oth~rs
and enlist their co-operation in the pursuit of a common goal. The industnal
engineer deals with people as well as with machines an~ ma.teri~ls. This
curriculum offers the first two years of work for those pnmanly interested
in the administration of technical enterprises.

Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately
1400 full-time day students and 500 part-time evening school
students.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
goals-a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts
in the community. It was believed that these ends could be
served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control.

The original concept of community services has been
strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing
experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students,
the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative
effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on
trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in
cooperative action.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and
our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together
students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encour-

ages them to maintain their conv1ct10ns and their loyalties. It
encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for
differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and
good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong failh
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before
you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must fir t make
them men."

Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied
their support during the past decades and the campus has
expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties
facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment
has kept pace with the expansion of the campus.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control ol the
Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late
Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the
wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pres mg
desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in thei1
faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student
are vigorous where the creative mind is free.

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

Education
at

Wilkes

The spirit of the College derives from the ideal
of the faculty and the quality of its instruction;
from its library, its laboratories and equipment.
The spirit of the College is the integrity of it
mission, the intellectual climate that enriches the
student as a person.
The College believes that no attention can be
too great which intensifies a student's thinking or
deepens his interest or develops his techniques
and skills.
l t believes that a good student commits himself
to the disciplines of his work. To learn, to master,
and to understand he must accept the responsi•
bilities that he shares with others.

The careful selection of able and committed students is
deemed essential to the attainment of high standards and warm
personal relationships between students and faculty.

Admission Requirements

Candidates applying for admission to Wilkes ,r,hould be high
·chool graduates and should offer at least fifteen units of work

which entitles them to park their cars in the areas reserved for
their use. Cars which do not display appropriate parking stickers
will be towed away at the student's expense. Freshmen and
ophomore dormitory students are not permitted to maintain
cars on cam pus.
4. Although participation in at least one student activity is
encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively.

5. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special
religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student
shall present his intructors with a note from the Deans. In all
instances the student is expected to make up the work that is
missed.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

The Academic Program

The students in a great measure determine the influences of
the College. The faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals.
Because students benefit from a program and policies to which
they subscribe, the College may request students to withdraw
when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to
the best interests of the student body.

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS

To fulfill its objective of service to the community and th e
nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to
the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics.
These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time
graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers
and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed
in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Full details of this program are published in the bulletin of
the Graduate Division.

COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAM
Wilkes is cooperating with Temple University to bring to the
area a graduate program in education.

Learning
at
Wilkes

Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and
beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better
expression of man's purpose than his sense of
belonging to a universe ruled by truth.
Creative thinkers set the standards and the
high aims of education. One may not reach these
standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought a£ ter is the measure of one's
creative interests.
The faculty encourages the student to cultivate
learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this w_ay
the mind in its journeyings finds constant surpme
and delight at rediscovering itself.

The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master
of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers.
Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative
program all credits are granted by Temple University.
Details of this graduate program in education may be obtained
by writing to the Director of Admissions.

Undergraduate Programs
Wilkes is a liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor
of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural
sciences.

1·

All course work in education required for careers in leaching
available in combination with the degree programs mentioned.

�CURRICULA - Page 51

Page 50 - CURRICULA

The College also confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in
chemistry, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance,
and secondary education.
A detailed description of these programs is provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."

PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM
Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to
qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an excep·
tion to this requirement for medical and dental students. The c
students may, with the approval of the graduation committee,
satisfy the requirements for the bachelor's degree by completing
three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting
credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school.
Such students must petition the graduation committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the
final approval for the granting of the degree rests with the gradu•
ation committee of Wilkes College.

ENGINEERING
Qualified students may enter the two-year engineering curricu•
lum. Upon the successful completion of the engineering program
the student may transfer as a junior to an institution granting
degrees in his field. A detailed description of these programs is
provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."
TERMINAL PROGRAM
Students may earn a terminal Certificate in the two-year secretarial curriculum. A detailed description of this program will be
found under "Degree Programs."

Evening Division
The evening division offers educational opportunities to adults
who cannot attend day classes. Students may register for course
in the Evening Division and earn credits toward an undergraduate degree.

Student5 will confer with the Director of the Evening Division
arrange a course of study to meet their needs, abilities, and
special requirements. During the semester students will consult
with the Assistant Director of Evening Classes concerning their
program.
to

When the student completes thirty hours, his record is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. At this time the Committee recommends that a student continue to work for a degree,
or be placed on probation, or withdraw from the Evening
Division.
Students who do not desire a degree are admitted to all classes
which they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity,
previous education, and experience. High school training is
desirable but not necessary, provided the student is qualified
to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to
register.
The courses offered in the Evening Division are designed for
special value to the following groups:
l. 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. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to
increase their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction
and improvement.
Day School students will be allowed to take courses in the
Evening Division only after having received written permission
from the Deans or the Registrar.

�Page 52 - CURRICULA

Sum1ner School
The faculty offers selected courses during an eight week summer session, which begins in the third week of June.
A student from another college who wishes to take summer
work at Wilkes must secure the approval of the proper officer o[
his own institution if he expects to receive credit for such work.

Academic Requirements
GRADES

The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the
student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students
for purposes of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to
students and parents at the end of each term. Mid-term reports
are sent if the work is unsatisfactory.
Iive numerical grades are given for academic work.

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

Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of
credits. For example, English 101 is a 3 credit course and English
151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course
are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per
week.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 55

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

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

If these yearly averages are not attained, the student's record is
reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing to determine
whether or not he should be allowed to remain in college.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Any student failing to meet these grade requirements will be
placed on probation. Failure to attain these standards in the next
semester will result in automatic dismissal from the College.
Unless special permission is granted, a student dropped for
academic failure will not be considered for readmission until one
ear after being dropped.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is
deemed a sufficient cause for failure.
Five consecutive absences from a class place a student on
probation. He may be readmitted to the class only by action of
the appropriate Dean and the Department Chairman concerned.
STUDENT LOAD

== 2.0

Notice that the student has accumulated 12 credits toward
graduation. The zero grade in English means that the student
must repeat that course.
Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be
added to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end
of his senior year a 1.85 average in all his courses and a 2.0
average in his major field.

No students shall be allowed to carry an overload without
approval of the adviser and the Dean. An overload will be permitted only for students with an average grade record of 3 or
special need.
Credits in excess of the normal load are charged at the usual
rate per credit, unless it can be shown that a student is compelled
to take an overload because of the rotation of courses within a
department.
WITHDRAWALS

CLASS STANDING
Marks and averages at the end of each of the four academic
years indicate a student's progress. The faculty expects students to
achieve the following averages:
Average

End of Freshman Year .................................. ]A
End of Sophomore Year ............ ....... ............. 1.7
End of Junior Year ... .. .. ............................. 1.85

Students may change their courses during the first week of a
semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty adviser and the Dean. A student who withdraws from a course after
the first week but who continues other courses will receive a zero
unless the Dean, faculty adviser, and instructor agree that the
tudent be permitted to drop the course without prejudice. Students may drop overloads at any time without prejudice.

�Pa~e 56 - ACA DEMlC REQUIREMENT

Students carrying a normal load may drop courses for personal
reasons with the permission of the Dean, but the grades for the
remaining courses will not count toward honors, awards, or
scholarships.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's day school program for academic reasons will be permitted
to register in the Evening Division without the written consent
of the Dean and then will be allowed to register only as a nonmatriculating student.
Students who withdraw from the Evening Division or drop
courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the
Director of the Evening Division and to the instructors concerned, in order that their records may not unjustly show failure
in courses.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM
Students who wish to transfer from one department to another
shall obtain the approval of the Department Chairmen and the
Dean. The student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of
the Bulletin in force at the time of transfer.

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS
Students desiring to study at another college during the summer must petition the Graduation Committee for approval. The
student must earn a grade of 2 or higher in order for the work
to be credited toward graduation. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take examinations before credit is granted.

DEAN'S LIST
The faculty gives recogmt10n for high quality work. Candidates for the Dean's List, published at the end of each term,
must obtain a point average of 3.25 or higher for all courses
taken. Students taking less than the full credit load for their
curriculum will not be eligible for the Dean's List.

ACADEMIC REQUIH.EMENTS - Page 57

HONORS
The granting of Honors at Commencement is based upon the
academic record made by students carrying a normal load for
their curriculum during their last two years at the College. Requirements for Honors are as follows: for cum laude, a cumulati,c average of 3.35; magna cum laude, 3.60; summa cum

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

It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate,
that makes a man sink into the depths. To think
there is no escape from preordained misery is to
make the misery perpetual. To seek new path
in a constant renewal of strength-that has
always been the secret of progress. When a man
waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of
fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of
manhood.
If we could free even one village from the
shackles of helpnessness and ignorance, an ideal
for the whole of India would be established. Let
a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall
say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India.

Towards Univ ersal Ma11

In cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, The Industrial Fund, and other community groups, the College has pro\ icled for some years a program designed for the improvement
of labor-management relations and for the study of modern
practices in local government. These efforts have been maintained on a minimum basis by funds from the College, the
Chamber of Commerce, local governments, and other civic
groups.
These local efforts have been recently strengthened by a grant
of $150,000 from the Ford Foundation. In consequence, the
work in both areas will be enlarged and a new Area Research
Center has been established at Wilkes College.
AREA RESEARCH CENTER

The Area Research Center provides professional direction and
secretarial and research assistance in cooperation with the county
and city development agencies, the Economy League, the Industrial Fund, the Committee of 100, the Chamber of Commerce,
employers, labor unions, the Planning Council of the United
Fund, and other agencies desiring special services.
The purposes of the Center are (I) to coordinate the many
studies of community problems and trends so that the results
may always be available to interested community groups and to

�COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY - Page 65

others; (2) to assure continuity of studies so that long-time
trends may be known and their significance in the local and
national scene may be understood; (3) to make special studie
for public and private groups, including municipalities, the
Industrial Fund, corporations, labor organizations, the Economy
League, school boards; (4) to cooperate with the Planning Commissions of the City and County, with the United Fund, and with
other social agencies and civic organizations.

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

INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
The Institute of Municipal Government, developed from the
activities of the Political Science department, offers an educa-

tional program for public officials. By providing training, the
Institute informs locally elected or appointed public leaders of
modern practices in government. The Institute does not campaign or enter politics. The Institute does cooperate with
municipal leagues and associations engaged in consultation and
research on the local governmental level.
The Institute publishes a monthly Newsletter containing
timely articles related to the responsibilities of local officials
interested in the development of the region.
The Institute has offered courses to magistrates, borough and
township secretaries, police, councilmen and commissioners,
health officers, and school directors. During the past five years
over one hundred merit awards have been presented to outstanding local officials for service to their communities.

Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra
The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
c£gis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three
ymphony concerts annually. A number of the members come
from the department of music of the College.

Fine Arts Fiesta
The College participates with area-wide cultural groups in the
Wyoming Valley Fine Arts Fiesta, a program of music, drama,
and the arts presented on the public square each spring.

Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our
society can never accept uncertainty and confusion
as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can
grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final
answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths,
or we can make every effort to comprehend the
significance of new facts, new truths, and new
conditions.
We must endeavor to extend the vision of our
students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and
developing our social institutions.

DR. EUGENE s. FARLEY,
President, Wilkes College

The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students
may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools.
Liberal arts preparation provides an excellent background for work in
professional schools, such as those of Business Administration, Education,
Medicine, Library, Law, or Theology.
Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as early
as possible with their department chairman.
In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal
education which aims at helping students achieve intellectual, social,
resthetic, and spiritual development, and for the concentration in special
areas for which students are qualified and have interest.
In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs the
College endeavors to acquaint the student with the nature and extent of
knowledge in all the principal fields, and to give him some idea of the
methods used in controlling and extending that knowledge. In addition
to gaining this general knowledge the student is required to develop
greater competence and understanding in one major field of study.

Bachelor of Arts Degree
The Bachelor of Arts degree programs are 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.
Studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions,
art and science. Programs are designed to create breadth and perspective
as opposed to more specialized skills.
A liberal arts 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 areas in which the student will carry
on his explorations.

from those listed above and from those listed under the Bachelor of Science degree
programs that follow. Individual department programs will define the necessary
course requirements. Teaching certification requirements for most states may be
met at Wilkes College. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with specific
state requirements.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

1 In

all curricula requiring foreign language the level of the course will depend upon
the achievement of the student. Except for foreign language majors, the language
requirement is through the 104 course, or an equivalent course prescribed by thr
student's adviser.

2

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, especially in the
areas of biology, mathematics, and music. It is essential that the major
field of concentration be elected before the beginning of the junior year.

Students planning to major in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and
Physics should take courses in high school that prepare them to start the College
mathematics program with the course in Analytic Geometry, Math. 122. Experience
has shown that many students can prof it from a course in algebra and trigonometry. These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges and universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman year.

The specific requirements for a degree in any of the above majors
are listed in the section of this bulletin titled "Degree Requirements."
The student with his faculty adviser will plan the proper sequence of
his major course requirements.

Bachelor of Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science degree programs require more concentration
upon a restricted area of human thought and activity. Although these
programs emphasize knowledge and skill in special fields, a basic program of general education is coupled with this specialized effort.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR B. S. DEGREE
The general requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree are basically the same as those required for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Specific
requirements are described in this bulletin under the section titled

Biology 1
Students who major in Biology may be planning careers in medicine,
teaching, industrial biology, research, or pre-professional training required for many positions in science-oriented business or professional
schools. The biology program is a general program covering basic areas
of biology. Specific pre-professional training is minimized in favor of
the broadest possible background in the liberal arts as well as the biological sciences. Students planning to major in biology should take
courses in high school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122.
Experience has shown that many students can profit from a course in
algebra and trigonometry. These courses are usually offered in the
summer at most colleges and universities and may be taken in the
summer prior to the freshman year. The following are the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in biology.

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING

Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable record
may transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.

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

In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed
their work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexell, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ne\\
York University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Chemical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical
industry in_ wh.ich materials undergo a physical or a chemical change.
Such materials mclude pape:, textiles, gasoline, other petroelum products,
~oke, gas, dyes, electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, ceramics,. drugs: heavy ?hemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical
engineer Is one skilled in the design, construction, operation and man~gement of industrial p~ants in .which materials are produced by chemical change. The chemical engmeer may be engaged in research or in
the development_ of a process, for he is expert in the application of the
fun?am~ntal umt-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical
t'ngmeenng. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes a
thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics and a
sound understanding of such fundamentals of chem1·cal mecha · 1

an e ectnca engm~ermg as will make him a competent development,
control, or sales engmeer. (For freshman year see page 88.)

During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses arc the
same with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester.
For this reason the student should decide by the middle of the first year
between chemical engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula change further at the beginning of the second year.
For this reason the student should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high
school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with
the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122. Experience has shown that
many students can profit from a course in algebra and trigonometry.
These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges and
universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman year.

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.

a fle~1~le background of basic scientific knowledge. The primary emphasis 1s on the fundamental principles of physics. At the same time the
engineering viewpoint is developed so that practical problems can be
pushed to completion. The first two years of work, offered at Wilkes
are similar_ to those of the other engineering curricula. They provide ~
sound basis for study toward advanced degrees in either physics or
specific fields of engineering.

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 necessar\
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.

Students planning to major in physics should seek to complete high
school courses in trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra
so that they may begin their college mathematics with the course in
analytic geometry. In event of a deficiency in this respect, it must be
made up by summer school attendance so that the course in differential
equations can be completed before the beginning of the junior year.

Terminal Program
Secretarial Studies
The College awards a Certificate to those students who successfully
complete the requirements of the following program. 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 program may be counted toward the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Commerce and Finance or toward that of Bachelor of Science Education when students desire to continue their education after completing
these courses. 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 ability.
Placement examinations will be given the first week of the term to
determine the student's levels of attainment.

Individual and group instruction is offered at all levels of difficulty
to students in piano, pipe organ, voice, and orchestral and band instruments. A series of fifteen lessons a semester and a practical demonstration (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 the opening of the following semester if the faculty does not recommend a continuation of the
music major.
Fees for private instruction are m addition to the regular tuition

Mus. 101-102-103-104. Theory of Music
The study of the theory of music is centered upon three main principles:
(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.

Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University
Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter
a a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to
its current enrollment of approxin~ately 1400 full-time day students
and 500 part-time evening school students.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.

A N IN D EPEND ENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best
by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence
and non-denominational in its control.

Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and
spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative
mind is free.

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
che thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their con,ictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships
based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that
create unity and good will amidst diversity.

�While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance
unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine
character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make
men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.

A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning,
has resulted in cooperative action.

DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the
expansion of the campus.

ACCREDITATION
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been
accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State
of New York.

Wilk~es College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately
1400 full-time day students and 500 part-time evening school
students.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
goals-a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE

It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts
in the community. It was believed that these ends could be
served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control.

Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the
Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late
Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the
wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing
desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their
faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student
are vigorous where the creative mind is free.

A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and
our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together
students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encour-

ages them to maintain their conv1ct10ns and their loyalties. It
· encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for
differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and
good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before
you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make
them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.

DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied
their support during the past decades and the campus has
expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties
facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment
has kept pace with the expansion of the campus.

A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been
strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing
experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students,
the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative
effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on
trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in
cooperative action.

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

Education
at
Wilkes

The spirit of the College derives from the ideals
of the faculty and the quality of its instruction;
from its library, its laboratories and equipment.

Ad1nission Requirements

The spirit of the College is the integrity of its
mission, the intellectual climate that enriches the
student as a person.

Candidates applying for admission to Wilkes should be high
school graduates and should offer at least fifteen units of work
representing the equivalent of the usual four-year high school
or preparatory school course. For entrance into certain departments, specific courses in high school are necessary. An example
would be four years of Mathematics for those interested m
studying the physical sciences, engineering, or mathematics.

HIGH SCHOOL RECORD

The College believes that no attention can be
too great which intensifies a student's thinking or
deepens his interest or develops his techniques
and skills.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS

It believes that a good student commits himself
to the disciplines of his work. To learn, to master,
and to understand he must accept the responsibilities that he shares with others.

All candidates for admission to the freshman class will be
required to take entrance examinations. The Admissions Committee considers these test results in relation to the applicant's
high school transcript and the record of performance during
the high school years.

�Page 12 - ADMISSIONS

ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE
The Admissions Committee is comprised of the Director of
Admissions, Dean of Men, Dean of Women, and three faculty
members. This committee acts upon special cases referred to it
by the Director of Admissions.

ADMISSIONS - Page 13

tmt10n and dormitory deposit by May l; local students are requested to forward a $50.00 tuition deposit by June 1 in order to
guarantee their entree into the College.
The College accepts a limited number of applications for the
February class. Procedures are similar to those followed in the
fall semester.

Admissions Procedure
TRANSFER STUDENTS
APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION
To assist students seeking admission, the College has adopted
procedures designed to simplify admissions.

Applications for admission may be obtained from the Director
of Admissions and should be returned to him with a $10.00 registration fee. Upon receipt of the application, the Director of
Admissions will write to the student concerning his high school
transcript and recommendations.
ADMISSION TESTS

The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board is required of all applicants. The December, January, or March tests are recommended as most suitable. If
unusual circumstances prevent the applicant from caking this
test, he must notify the Director of Admissions. Wilkes is a member of the College Entrance Examination Boards.
Students communicating with the Educational Testing Center
in Princeton, New Jersey, or in Los Angeles, California, should
refer to the Wilkes College code number 2977.
PERSONAL INTERVIEWS

A personal interview with each student is not required. Students and their families are invited to visit the College at their
convenience. It is advisable to write for an appointment so that
the Deans may arrange to meet with them.
ACCEPTANCE OF ADMISSION AND DEPOSIT

The Admissions Committee meets each week and acts upon
all completed applications. Notification of admission is sent immediately. Resident students are required to forward a $100.00

Candidates from other institutions wishing to enter with advanced standing shall follow the regular procedure for admission.
The student should request the college or university he is attending to forward to Wilkes a transcript and an official statement of
his 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. Acceptable credits will
be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a final
evaluation.
College policy prohibits the Admissions Committee from considering for admission any student who has been placed on
academic probation or who has been dropped from any other
college or university.
ADVANCED COURSE STANDING

Superior students who have undertaken college-level courses in
secondary school may request college credit for such work and
permission to enter advanced courses. To qualify for advanced
placement, the high school student must take the Advanced
Placement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, in
addition to the regular Scholastic Aptitude tests required for
admission. Action by the College will be determined by scores
obtained on the Advanced Placement Examination, the high
school record submitted by the student, and the recommendations
of the high school faculty. After he is admitted the applicant will
request the College Entrance Examination Board to send the
results of the Advanced Placement Tests to the Director of
Admissions. The request will then be considered by the Admissions Committee and the appropriate department chairman. The
applicant will be advised of their action prior to registration.

Buildings and Plant

�The Facilities of the College
Buildings and Plant
The College is constantly seeking to implement and improve
its facilities for instruction. A growing campus provides added
classrooms, modem laboratories, and an up-to-date scientific
research center. Preparations are under way for building a new
library, dormitory and dining quarters. A theater and recital hall

rediscovery.
The faculty can teach the student facts, but his
contribution to a free society depends upon the
continual expansion of his knowledge and upon
its relevance to human experience.
The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner resources of the
mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his
achievement.

This three-floor stone structure contains more than 70,000
volumes and some 500 current periodicals and journals. Students
and faculty use the resources of the periodical, reference, and
Treasury rooms for research and reading assignments. Shelved
on open stacks, the books are easily accessible and may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Reserve books for particular
courses circulate for the time period specified by the instructor.
The library is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m.
to IO p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Saturday and
.Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. During vacation periods the hours
are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; during examination periods from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. on weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, and
from I p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Students may borrow books
from the ten nearby libraries (public and college) through the

Dormitories are named after prominent local families and for
patriots of the American Revolutionary War, whose history forms
part of the rich heritage of the Wyoming Valley region.

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

The transition from the directed work of the high school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the
term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their
academic program.

Studying
at

Wilkes

In college the teacher works with the student, challenging him to extend the limits of
his mind. He encourages him to think
courageously and truthfully and to create with
all his resources so that he may act with
independent judgment.
In a college community freedom of inquiry
and responsibility are essential.
In the world community the right of the
individual to differ safeguards the freedom of
all men.
As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of
learning becomes the responsibility of
everyone.

During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest,
foreign language, and English-placement tests. The week also
gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum,
and the student activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for
one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic,
and vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty discuss
with them:
1. Methods of intelligent self-directed study.

2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships
with others.
3. Values of the College extracurricular program.
4. The value of college experiences in developing a philo5ophy
of life.
By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and
conducting these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.
STUDENT ADVISEMENT

Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social,
and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and menta]

�Page 38 - COUNSELING

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

Student Activities
The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program
of extracurricular activities that contribute to the educational
development of the student who chooses to participate.
Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of
tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College
community. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics,
the College Band, Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male
Chorus, Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers.
There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic, professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed
for students in cooperation with the faculty. All women students
may become members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own
executive committee, which plans and arranges social activities.
The College requires that all campus organizations be open
to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not
exist. All student groups work in cooperation with faculty advisers and the Deans.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of
annually elected members representing the classes and other
student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency;
it appropriates funds from the Student Activities budget to all
student groups; it supervises the College social calendar; it
arranges the program for Homecoming; it establishes social regulations and conduct; and it serves in an advisory capacity to the
Director of Student Activities and the Administrative Council.
INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL
The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives from the men's and women's residence halls, plans and
coordinates dormitory social functions and develops and administers dormitory policy.

�Page 40 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Social 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.
Each student is required to attend assemblies during each of
his four years. He will, however, be allowed the following
number of cuts each year: freshman and sophomore year, four
cuts; junior year, eight cuts; senior year, fifteen cuts.
These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.

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

The College believes in helping students to help themselves.
Groups are encouraged to initiate programs that will serve their
interest and benefit others. It has been found that students gain
most from those activities, social and cultural, which release the
best talents of the individual.
Special projects include the following: TDR's Golden Agers
Christmas party, at which residents of Convalescent Homes are
entertained; Student Government's party for children of St. Stanislaus Orphanage; Wilkes J.C.'s party for YMCA children; Student Work Day, in support of an orphan in a foreign land.
In addition there are various social affairs to raise money for
the United Fund, to collect toys for the Salvation Army, and to
donate books for students in foreign countries.
The Student Seminar Committee, patterned after the Faculty
Seminars, encourages discussion of topics of interest to the student body. Under sponsorship of Student Government, the seminars attract students as well as faculty.
A full and varied program of social and recreational activities
supplements the extracurricular program. At all these functions
members of the faculty and their wives are invited guests and
chaperones.
COME-AND-MEET-US-PARTY
Student Government makes plans for student leaders to welcome the freshmen one week before the semester starts. An
informal party and dance for the entire student body culminate
the week's introduction to college life.
PARENTS' DAY
After they have adjusted themselves to the academic life of the
College, students invite their families to a weekend of social,
cultural, and athletic events. Preparations for the annual Parents'

�Page 42 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Day program are entirely the responsibility of a Student Planning
Committee. The agenda includes intercollegiate soccer and football games, luncheon with the faculty, a play, and a film.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - Page 43

WILKES OPEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT

To welcome returning alumni, students construct displays on
campus and decorate dormitory and classroom buildings. For
the outstanding displays an alumni committee presents awards
during halftime ceremonies at the football game. A Homecoming
Queen and her escorts are feted at a dinner dance.

Between Christmas and New Year's the College sponsors the
Wilkes Open Wrestling Championships. Known as the "Rose
Bowl of Wrestling," this annual tournament attracts athletes
from over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout
the United States. Wilkes wrestlers join them in competing for
individual and team awards. Tourneys and clinics are held over
a three-day period in the Wilkes gymnasium. The Tournament,
the largest in the country, has the record for the most number
of entries.

FORMAL DANCES

WINTER CARNIVAL

Student organizations and clubs sponsor four formal affairs,
open to the entire student body. The Homecoming Dance, for
alumni and undergraduates; the Lettermen's Christmas Formal;
Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Formal; and during Spring Weekend the Cinderella Ball have become traditions on campus.

Student Government sponsors a Winter Carnival, held at one
of the nearby resorts in the Poconos. A day of skiing, tobogganing, and ice skating climaxes the close of the examination period.

TDR AND LETTERMEN TEAS

Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and
organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes
on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. At the Ball at midnight on Saturday
a senior, chosen by the student body by secret ballot, is crowned
Cinderella Queen.

HOMECOMING

Throughout the year TDR and the Lettermen sponsor afternoon teas and student receptions. The women of Theta Delta
Rho entertain those high school seniors who plan to enter the
College the following year.

IDC CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Inter-Dormitory Council sponsors an annual Christmas
party preceding the winter vacation. The student body, faculty,
and administration are invited to a buffet and dance at the
Commons.

HAMPTON EXCHANGE PROGRAM
IDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students
from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Several Wilkes students during the last week of April and an
equal number of Hampton students during the first week of May
visit the other's campus. Faculty members and Deans accompany
both groups.

SPRING WEEKEND

THE MANUSCRIPT FILMS
During each semester the Manuscript Society brings to the
campus distinguished motion pictures, produced by American
and foreign film companies.

CLUB ACTIVITIES
In addition to the regular social calendar, campus organizations plan their own special activities, such as the Beaux Arts
Ball, sponsored by the Art Club.

THE PRESIDENT'S PICNIC
On the Saturday before Commencement the graduating class
is invited by the President to a picnic and outing in the country.

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

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

Student Regulations
It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis
of good relations between individuals. Informal and friendly
associations between students and faculty are a tradition on
campus.
Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have
been established in the best interests of the individual and the
College. A few are mentioned here:

I. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden,
and none will be served at college affairs.
2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, in the
library, or on the first floor of the Commons. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke
during their free periods.
3. The College provides several parking lots for student automobiles. Since facilities are limited, dormitory and commuting
students are required to purchase at the Finance Office a permit
which entitles them to park their cars in the areas reserved for
their use. Cars which do not display appropriate parking stickers
will be towed away at the student's expense. Freshmen and
sophomore dormitory students are not permitted to maintain
cars on campus.
4. Although participation in at least one student activity is
encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively.
5. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special
religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student
shall present his intructors with a note from the Deans. In all
instances the student is expected to make up the work that is
missed.

STUDENT REGULATIONS

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

The Academic Program

The students in a great measure determine the influences of
the College. The faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals.
Because students benefit from a program and policies to which
they subscribe, the College may request students to withdraw
when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to
the best interests of the student body.

Graduation Requirements

�Curricula
Graduate Programs
CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the
nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to
the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics.
These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time
graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers
and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed
in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Full details of this program are published in the bulletin of
the Graduate Division.
COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAM
Wilkes is cooperating with Temple University to bring to the
area a graduate program in education.

Learning
at
Wilkes

Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and
beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better
expression of man's purpose than his sense of
belonging to a universe ruled by truth.
Creative thinkers set the standards and the
high aims of education. One may not reach these
standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought after is the measure of one's
creative interests.
The faculty encourages the student to cultivate
learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way
the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise
and delight at rediscovering itself.

The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master
of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers.
Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative
program all credits are granted by Temple University.
Details of this graduate program in education may be obtained
by writing to the Director of Admissions.

Undergraduate Programs
Wilkes is a liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor
of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural
sciences.
All course work in education required for careers in teaching
is available in combination with the degree programs mentioned.

�Page 50 - CURRICULA

The College also confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in
chemistry, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance,
and secondary education.
A detailed description of these programs is provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."
PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM
Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to
qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an exception to this requirement for medical and dental students. These
students may, with the approval of the graduation committee,
satisfy the requirements for the bachelor's degree by completing
three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting
credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school.
Such students must petition the graduation committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the
final approval for the granting of the degree rests with the graduation committee of Wilkes College.
ENGINEERING
Qualified students may enter the two-year engineering curriculum. Upon the successful completion of the engineering program
the student may transfer as a junior to an institution granting
degrees in his field. A detailed description of these programs is
provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."

CURRICULA - Page 51

Students will confer with the Director of the Evening Division
to arrange a course of study to meet their needs, abilities, and
special requirements. During the semester students will consult
with the Assistant Director of Evening Classes concerning their
program.
When the student completes thirty hours, his record is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. At this time the Committee recommends that a student continue to work for a degree,
or be placed on probation, or withdraw from the Evening
Division.
Students who do not desire a degree are admitted to all classes
which they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity,
previous education, and experience. High school training is
desirable but not necessary, provided the student is qualified
to follow special courses of instruction in which he wishes to
register.
The courses offered in the Evening Division are designed for
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.

TERMINAL PROGRAM

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.

Students may earn a terminal Certificate in the two-year secretarial curriculum. A detailed description of this program will be
found under "Degree Programs."

4. Business executives who are interested in advanced problems and discussion courses offered in various business fields.

Evening Division

5. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to
increase their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction
and improvement.

The evening division offers educational opportunities to adults
who cannot attend day classes. Students may register for courses
in the Evening Division and earn credits toward an undergraduate degree.

Day School students will be allowed to take courses in the
Evening Division only after having received written permission
from the Deans or the Registrar.

�Page 52 - CURRICULA

Summer School
The faculty offers selected courses during an eight week summer session, which begins in the third week of June.
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.

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

Grade

Interpretation

4 ............ Academic achievement of outstanding quality.
3 ............ Academic achievement of high quality.
2 ............ Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting requirements for graduation .
. . . . . . . . . . . . Academic achievement of quality below the
average required for graduation.
0 ............ Academic achievement below the minimum
required for course credit.
Inc. means that a student receives an incomplete grade. Incompletes will be granted to students who because of illness or
reasons beyond their control have been unable to satisfy specific
course assignments. All unfinished work must be completed
before the fourth week of the following term. If an incomplete
is not removed within this period, the grade will be changed to
a zero.
COURSE CREDITS

Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of
credits. For example, English 101 is a 3 credit course and English
151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course
are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per
week.

�Page 54 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 55

POINT AVERAGES
The student is given a number grade for every_ course in w~ich
he is enrolled. To calculate the number of pomts earned I~.a
e multiply the grade in each course by the number of c~e It
for the course. To compute the point average, total tnes_e
points for all courses and divide by the total number of credit
hours.

If these yearly averages are not attained, the student's record is
reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing to determine
whether or not he should be aIIowed to remain in college.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Any student failing to meet these grade requirements wiU be
placed on probation. Failure to attain these standards in the next
semester will result in automatic dismissal from the CoIIege.
Unless special permission is granted, a student dropped for
academic failure wiU not be considered for readmission until one
year after being dropped.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at aII 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.
STUDENT LOAD

Notice that the student has accumulated 12 credits toward
graduation. The zero grade in English means that the student
must repeat that course.

No students shaII be allowed to carry an overload without
approval of the adviser and the Dean. An overload wiII be permitted only for students with an average grade record of 3 or
special need.

Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be
dded to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end
:, his senior year a J .85 average in all his courses and a 2.0
average in his major field.

Credits in excess of the normal load are charged at the usual
rate per credit, unless it can be shown that a student is compelled
to take an overload because of the rotation of courses within a
department.

CLASS ST ANDING

WITHDRAWALS

Marks and averages at the end of each of the four academic
years indicate a student's progress. The faculty expects students to

Students may change their courses during the first week of a
semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty adviser and the Dean. A student who withdraws from a course after
the first week but who continues other courses wiU receive a zero
unless the Dean, faculty adviser, and instructor agree that the
student be permitted to drop the course without prejudice. Students may drop overloads at any time without prejudice.

�Page 56 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

Students carrying a normal load may drop courses for personal
reasons with the permission of the Dean, but the grades for the
remaining courses will not count toward honors, awards, or
scholarships.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's day school program for academic reasons will be permitted
to register in the Evening Division without the written consent
of the Dean and then will be allowed to register only as a nonmatriculating student.
Students who withdraw from the Evening Division or drop
courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the
Director of the Evening Division and to the instructors concerned, in order that their records may not unjustly show failure
in courses.
CHANGE OF PROGRAM

Students who wish to transfer from one department to another
shall obtain the approval of the Department Chairmen and the
Dean. The student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of
the Bulletin in force at the time of transfer.
TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS

Students desiring to study at another college during the summer must petition the Graduation Committee for approval. The
student must earn a grade of 2 or higher in order for the work
to be credited toward graduation. In some cases it may be necessary for a student to take examinations before credit is granted.

DEAN'S LIST

The faculty gives recogmt10n for high quality work. Candidates for the Dean's List, published at the end of each term,
must obtain a point average of 3.25 or higher for all courses
taken. Students taking less than the full credit load for their
curriculum will not be eligible for the Dean's List.

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

It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate,
that makes a man sink into the depths. To think
there is no escape from preordained misery is to
make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths
in a constant renewal of strength-that has
always been the secret of progress. When a man
waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of
fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of
manhood.

If we could free even one village from the
shackles of helpnessness and ignorance, an ideal

say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India.

Towards Universal Man

In cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, The Industrial Fund, and other community groups, the College has provided for some years a program designed for the improvement
of labor-management relations and for the study of modern
practices in local government. These efforts have been maintained on a minimum basis by funds from the College, the
Chamber of Commerce, local governments, and other civic
groups.
These local efforts have been recently strengthened by a grant
of $150,000 from the Ford Foundation. In consequence, the
work in both areas will be enlarged and a new Area Research
Center has been established at Wilkes College.
AREA RESEARCH CENTER
The Area Research Center provides professional direction and
secretarial and research assistance in cooperation with the county
and city development agencies, the Economy League, the Industrial Fund, the Committee of I 00, the Chamber of Commerce,
employers, labor unions, the Planning Council of the United
Fund, and other agencies desiring special services.
The purposes of the Center are (I) to coordinate the many
studies of community problems and trends so that the results
may always be available to interested community groups and to

�COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY - Page 65

Page 64 - COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY

others; (2) to assure continuity of studies so that long-time
trends may be known and their significance in the local and
national scene may be understood; (3) to make special studies
for public and private groups, including municipalities, the
Industrial Fund, corporations, labor organizations, the Economy
League, school boards; (4) to cooperate with the Planning Commissions of the City and County, with the United Fund, and with
other social agencies and civic organizations.
LABOR-MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
Because Wilkes serves an area which has been undergoing
drastic economic readjustments, it is deemed essential that every
effort be made to encourage cooperative planning and action.
To establish a climate for industrial redevelopment the College
has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which
the needs of the individual and the company are analyzed.
Plans are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and
other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific requirements of the particular company. Where several firms
are confronted with common problems, special classes are organized to include representation of several companies.
The program designed for members of labor unions is tailored
to the particular needs of the group. Broad topics in economics
are presented to provide a basis for the discussion of ideas, laws,
and practices. All classes are conducted on the College campus
where the academic climate induces and stimulates free intellectual inquiry. It has been demonstrated that in this atmosphere
the members participate more freely in the discussion and
consideration of significant problems.
As an integral part of the three-pronged Labor-Management
Training Program, union and management personnel sometimes
meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding
that is essential to constructive action.
INSTITUTE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
The Institute of Municipal Government, developed from the
activities of the Political Science department, offers an educa-

tional program for public officials. By providing training, the
Institute informs locally elected or appointed public leaders of
modern practices in government. The Institute does not campaign or enter politics. The Institute does cooperate with
municipal leagues and associations engaged in consultation and
research on the local governmental level.
The Institute publishes a monthly Newsletter containing
timely articles related to the responsibilities of local officials
interested in the development of the region.
The Institute has offered courses to magistrates, borough and
township secretaries, police, councilmen and commissioners,
health officers, and school directors. During the past five years
over one hundred merit awards have been presented to outstanding local officials for service to their communities.

Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra
The \Vilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
a!gis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three
symphony concerts annually. A number of the members come
from the department of music of the College.

Fine Arts Fiesta
The College participates with area-wide cultural groups in the
Wyoming Valley Fine Arts Fiesta, a program of music, drama,
and the arts presented on the public liquare each spring.

�Undergraduate Programs
The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students
may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools.
Liberal arts preparation provides an excellent background for work in
professional schools, such as those of Business Administration, Education,
Medicine, Library, Law, or Theology.
Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as early
as possible with their department chairman.

In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal
education which aims at helping students achieve intellectual, social,
resthetic, and spiritual development, and for the concentration in special
areas for which students are qualified and have interest.
In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs the
College endeavors to acquaint the student with the nature and extent of
knowledge in all the principal fields, and to give him some idea of the
methods used in controlling and extending that knowledge. In addition
to gaining this general knowledge the student is required to develop
greater competence and understanding in one major field of study.

Leadership

Wilkes

Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our
society can never accept uncertainty and confusion
as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can
grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final
answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths,
or we can make every effort to comprehend the
significance of new facts, new truths, and new
conditions.
We must endeavor to extend the vision of our
students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and
developing our social institutions.

Bachelor of Arts Degree
The Bachelor of Arts degree programs are 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.
Studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions,
art and science. Programs are designed to create breadth and perspective
as opposed to more specialized skills.
A liberal arts 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 areas in which the student will carry
on his explorations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR B. A. DEGREE

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

The following courses are required of all candidates for the Bachelor
of Arts degree. They will usually be taken in the semesters indicated.

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, especially in the
areas of biology, mathematics, and music. It is essential that the major
field of concentration be elected before the beginning of the junior year.

In a curriculum that requires a student to begin with courses at a
more advanced level, the advanced course will be accepted as fulfilling
the general requirements in that subject.

In all curricula requiring foreign language the level of the course will depend upon
the achievement of the student. Except for foreign language majors, the language
requirement is through the 104 course, or an equivalent course prescribed by the
student's adviser.
2 Students planning to major in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and
Physics should take courses in high school that prepare them to start the College
mathematics program with the course in Analytic Geometry, Math. 122. Experience

Biology 1
Students who major in Biology may be planning careers in medicine,
teaching, industrial biology, research, or pre-professional training required for many positions in science-oriented business or professional
schools. The biology program is a general program covering basic areas
of biology. Specific pre-professional training is minimized in favor of
the broadest possible background in the liberal arts as well as the biological sciences. Students planning to major in biology should take
courses in high school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122.
Experience has shown that many students can profit from a course in
algebra and trigonometry. These courses are usually offered in the
summer at most colleges and universities and may be taken in the
summer prior to the freshman year. The following are the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in biology.

Philosophy-Religion
A major in the combined fields of Philosophy and Religion consists of
twenty-four hours in philosophy and religion courses. Philosophy 101
and 102 will not count toward the major but must be taken as part of
the general requirements. Philosophy-Religion majors must schedule
courses in philosophy and religion in their sophomore year.

Psychology
A major in Psychology consists of twenty-four hours. Psychology 101
and 102 are not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 and Education
200 are accepted. Psychology 203 and 204 are required for the major. In
addition to the general requirements the department requires that the
two-semester courses in mathematics, physics, and biology be taken. In
addition, English 131 and Economics 231 are required.
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.

Political Science
A major in Political Science consists of twenty-four hours. Political
Science 101 and 102 are not accepted toward a major.

Social Science
The Social Science major requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and sociology. Eighteen hours must be

in one of these subject areas and at least six hours in each of the other
three. Only courses beyond the 101, 102 level will count toward these
major requirements. Exception will be made to this requirement for
students preparing to teach in public schools. In order to meet the
certification requirements in education 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.

Sociology-Anthropology
A major in Sociology consists of twenty-four hours. Although Sociology 101, 102 are prerequisites to all the courses in sociology, they are
not accepted toward a major in sociology. Political Science 204 and
Philosophy 206 will be accepted toward the major in sociology. Students
who intend to major in sociology are requested to plan their work in the
department in consultation with the chairman. A major in sociology
should ordinarily include the following four courses: Sociology 230,
255, 265, and 280. With the approval of the department chairman, however, other courses may in some instances be substituted.

Course Requirements for

B. S. Degree Programs
Chemistry
The Chemistry curriculum is planned to provide thorough training
in the fundamentals of the science and to contribute to the general
education of the student. Graduates in chemistry may enter industry
immediately upon graduation or may continue their studies in graduate
school.
To satisfy the requirements for this degree students must complete
one hundred thirty-one credits. These credits include forty-four in
chemistry, thirty-two in physics and mathematics, a minimum of fortysix in the social sciences and the humanities, and the language requirement.1
1A

reading knowledge of scientific German or of French is required for this degree.
The requirement may be satisfied as follows:
1. A student prepared in a language may take a reading-knowledge test.
2. A student who has taken two years or more of German in high school must
complete scientific German; if he has taken two years or more of French he
must complete six hours of intermediate or advanced French.
'
3. Students beginning either language must complete twelve semester hours.
Those beginning German must include German 105 in the twelve hours.

Engineering
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records
may transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed
their work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexell, Georgia School of Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New
York University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Stevens Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the
same with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester.
For this reason the student should decide by the middle of the first year
between chemical engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula change further at the beginning of the second year.
For this reason the student should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high
school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with
the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122. Experience has shown that
many students can profit from a course in algebra and trigonometry.
These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges and
universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman year.

Mechanical engineering is basic to the study of reronautical 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 petroelum 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. (For freshman year see page 88.)

CIVIL ENGINEERING

ENGINEERING PHYSICS

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.

The curriculum in engineering physics is designed to equip men with
a flexible background of basic scientific knowledge. The primary emphasis is on the fundamental principles of physics. At the same time the
engineering viewpoint is developed so that practical problems can be
pushed to completion. The first two years of work, offered at Wilkes,
are similar to those of the other engineering curricula. They provide a
sound basis for study toward advanced degrees in either physics or
specific fields of 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 cooperation 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.

�An

Educated
Man

seeks truth, for without truth there can be no
understanding;
possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;
has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;
knows that man's progress requires intellectual
vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;
cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength,
for they enrich his daily living and
sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures
understanding, for understanding
unites men in their search for truth.

Formulated and adopted by the
faculty as a guide to learning.

�Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Uni ·
versity, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College
has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 1,700
full-time day students and 900 adults in the Evening College and
special classes.
From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE

It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served
best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its
influence and non-denominational in its control.
FREEDOM OF INQUIRY

Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of
their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to
strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the
intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
where the creative mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY

A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our
world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of
peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students

�Page 6 - WILKES COLLEGE

of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them
to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages
them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and
to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst
diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you
can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the
community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative
relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended
planning, has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded
steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the
River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace
with the expansion of the campus.
ACCREDITATION
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has
been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of
the State of New York.

SUMMER COLLEGE
Information
Curricula
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The summer program is designed for men and women interested
in accelerating degree work, and for recent high school graduates
interested in beginning their college careers. Courses are open to
Wilkes College students, students of other colleges, and nonmatriculated students.
Course load is limited to six semester hours of credit for each
six-week session. Students are cautioned to exercise judgment and
care in scheduling both day and evening courses.
Most classes for courses offered during the six-week day sessions
will meet five days per week during the morning hours as follows:
FIRST PERIOD - 8:00 A.M. TO 9:30 A.M.
SECOND PERIOD - 9 :45 A.M. TO 11: 15 A.M.
Except where designated in the course schedule, classes for
courses offered during the eight-week evening session will be
scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings between
the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M.
The College reserves the right to withdraw any course for which
there is insufficient enrollment. Students who have registered for
courses that may be cancelled because of insufficient enrollment
will be notified as promptly as possible.
WITHDRAWAL
A student who withdraws from the summer sessions or drops
courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the Director
of the Evening and Summer College and to the instructors concerned in order that their records may not unjustly show failure
in courses.

�Page 8 - INFORMATION

Students in good standing who withdraw from the College will
receive a refund of tuition under the following conditions: During
the first week of the six-week sessions and during the first two
weeks of the eight-week evening session one-half of the tuition will
be refunded upon written request to the Director of Evening and
Summer College, if the withdrawal is made for adequate and satisfactory reasons. After the periods designated no refunds are allowed
and the student is obligated for the full costs of the term. No student who is suspended or expelled shall be entitled to any refunds.

GRADUATE PROGRAM
Wilkes College cooperates with Temple University in offering a
General Education Program for Teachers (G.E.P.T.) leading to
the Degree of Master of Science in Education. The program is
open to anyone who meets the academic requirements and is
interested in exposure to a broad-base general education program.
This summer a Symposium in Education will be offered.
RESEARCH AND GRADUATE CENTER
During the summer months the Research and Graduate Center,
an integral part of the College complex, will continue the various
research projects now in progress.
nIOLOGY SUMMER INSTITUTE
The Department of Biology will conduct a Summer Institute for
high school teachers of biology made possible by a grant from the
National Science Foundation. The Institute will be a seven-week
program from July 5 to August 20, 1966. The program of this
Institute is designed to meet the needs of the secondary school
teacher of biology who has little preparation in the subject or no
recent exposure to modern concepts in molecular biology and
ecology. Registration for this Institute closed on February 15, 1966.

Facilities
The College is located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the
heart of the picturesque and historic Wyoming Valley. This ideal
location in the foothills of the Poconos offers wonderful cultural
and recreational facilities and affords close proximity to the metropolitan areas of New York and Philadelphia.

THE FACILITIES OF THE COLLEGE

Wilke College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Uniity, re ponding to a request of community leaders, established
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
niv r ity Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
r h cl it charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The Colha grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately
full-time day students and 500 part-time evening school
fr m it inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
I -a ound and stimulating intellectual experience for stud nt and a program of service to the community.

ar have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the
Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late
ilb rt S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the
wi dom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philo ophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
b the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and
our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together
tudent of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encour-

ages them to maintain their conv1ct10ns and their loyalties. It
encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for
differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and
good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little import•
ance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before
you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make
them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.

DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied
their support during the past decades and the campus has
expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties
facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment
has kept pace with the expansion of the campus.

knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, a_n d physical

strength, for they enrich his daily living
and sustain him in times of crisis;

A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been
strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing
experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students,
the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative
effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on
trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in
cooperative action.

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

Education
at
Wilkes

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

Admission Requirements
HIGH SCHOOL RECORD

Candidates applying for admission to Wilkes should be high
chool graduates and should offer at least fifteen units of work
r presenting the equivalent of the usual four-year high school

rediscovery.
The faculty can teach the student facts, but h
contribution to a free society depends upon the

its relevance to human experience.
The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner resources of the
mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his
achievement.

th

FRE HMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The transition from the directed work of the high school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occaionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the
t rm are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their
cad mic program.

Studying
at

Wilkes

In college the teacher works with the stu•
dent, challenging him to extend the limits of
his mind. He encourages him to think
courageously and truthfully and to create with
all his resources so that he may act with
independent judgment.
In a college community freedom of inqui
and responsibility are essential.
In the world community the right of the
individual to differ safeguards the freedom of
all men.
As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of
learning becomes the responsibility of
everyone.

During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest,
for ign language, and English-placement tests. The week also
giv the new students an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum,
nd the student activities.
Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for
one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic,
, nd vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty discuss
with them:
l. Methods of intelligent self-directed study.

2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships
with others.
3- Values of the College extracurricular program.
4. 1 he value of college experiences in developing a philosophy
of life.

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

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

�Page 40 - COUNSELING

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

tudent Activities
tudent activities of the College broaden a student's interb gun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program
of tracuu icular activities that contribute to the educational
d velopment of the student who chooses to participate.

t and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College
ommunity. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics,
th
ollcge Band, Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male
horu, Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers.

COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAM

Learning
at
Wilkes

Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and
beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better
expression of man's purpose than his sense ol
belonging to a universe ruled by truth.
Creative thinkers set the standards and the
high aims of education. One may not reach these
standards in his lifetime; that they are recog
nized and sought after is the measure of one'
creative interests.
The faculty encourages the student to cultivate
learning that he may grow in wisdom. In thiswa
the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprilt
and delight at rediscovering itself.

Wilkes is cooperating with Temple University to bring to the
r a a graduate program in education.
The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master
of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers.

�Page 56 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 57

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

Notice that the student has accumulated 12 credits toward
graduation. The zero grade in English means that the student
must repeat that course.
Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be
added to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end
of his senior year a 1.85 average in all his courses and a 2.0
average in his major field.

CLASS ST ANDING
Marks and averages at the end of each of the four academic
years indicate a student's progress. The faculty expects students to

whether or not he should be allowed to remain in college.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

ny student failing to meet these grade requirements will be
pla ed on probation. Failure to attain these standards in the next
mester will result in automatic dismissal from the College.
nlc pecial permission is granted by the Academic Standing
mmiuee, a student dropped for academic failure will not be
on idcred for readmission until one year after being dropped.

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

It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate,
that makes a man sink into the depths. To thinl
there is no escape from preordained misery is to
make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths
in a constant renewal of strength-that ha
always been the secret of progress. When a man
waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of
fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of
manhood.
If we could free even one village from the
shackles of helpnessness and ignorance, an ideal
for the whole of India would be established. Let
a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall

say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India.

Towards Universal Man

ln cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, The Industrial Fund, and other community groups, the College has pro, ided for some years a program designed for the improvement
of labor-management relations and for the study of modern
practices in local government. These efforts have been maintained on a minimum basis by funds from the College, the
Chamber of Commerce, local governments, and other civic
groups.
Thee local efforts have been recently strengthened by a grant
of 150,000 from the Ford Foundation. In consequence, the
work in both areas will be enlarged and a new Area Research
enter has been established at Wilkes College.
AREA RESEARCH CENTER

The Area Research Center provides professional direction and
ecretarial and research assistance in cooperation with the county
and city development agencies, the Economy League, the Industrial Fund, the Committee of 100, the Chamber of Commerce,
employers, labor unions, the Planning Council of the United
Fund, and other agencies desiring special services.
The purposes of the Center are (1) to coordinate the many
tudies of community problems and trends so that the results
may always be available to interested community groups and to

�Page 66 - COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY

others; (2) to assure continuity of studies so that long-time
trends may be known and their significance in the local and
national scene may be understood; (3) to make special studie
for public and private groups, including municipalities, the
Industrial Fund, corporations, labor organizations, the Econom}
League, school boards; (4) to cooperate with the Planning Commissions of the City and County, with the United Fund, and with
other social agencies and civic organizations.

tional program for public officials. By providing training, the
Jn titute informs locally elected or appointed public leaders of
modern practices in government. The Institute does not campaign or enter politics. The Institute does cooperate with
municipal leagues and associations engaged in consultation and
r earch on the local governmental level.
. The In~titute publishes a monthly Newsletter containing
umely articles related to the responsibilities of local officials
interested in the development of the region.

Because Wilkes serves an area which has been undergoing
drastic economic readjustments, it is deemed essential that every
effort be made to encourage cooperative planning and action.
To establish a climate for industrial redevelopment the College
has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which
the needs of the individual and the company are analyzed.

The Institute has offered courses to magistrates, borough and
town hip secretaries, police, councilmen and commissioners,
health officers, and school directors. During the past five years
over one hundred merit awards have been presented to outstanding local officials for service to their communities.

Plans are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and
other employees and are designed to meet the general and spe•
cific requirements of the particular company. Where several finn
are confronted with common problems, special classes are or•
ganized to include representation of several companies.

Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra

The program designed for members of labor unions is tailored
to the particular needs of the group. Broad topics in economics
are presented to provide a basis for the discussion of ideas, laws,
and practices. All classes are conducted on the College campu
where the academic climate induces and stimulates free intellectual inquiry. It has been demonstrated that in this atmosphere
the members participate more freely in the discussion and
consideration of significant problems.
As an integral part of the three-pronged Labor-Management
Training Program, union and management personnel sometime
meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding
that is essential to constructive action.

Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our
society can never accept uncertainty and confusion
as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can
grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final
answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths,
or we can make every effort to comprehend the
significance of new facts, new truths, and ne\l
conditions.

Pro rams leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily conrn d with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and

of th men who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around
m n and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs

of knowledge in all the principal fields. The student will carry
on his explorations in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

Mathematics
Students planning to major in Mathematics should take courses in
high school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program
with the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122. Experience has sho\\n
that many students can profit from a course in algebra and trigonometry. These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges
and universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman
year.

ddition to the general requirements the department requires that the
two-semester courses in mathematics, physics, and biology be taken. In
ddition, English 131 and Economics 231 are required.
The major in Psychology is designed for students who plan to continue
th 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 profession! psychological work. No student can qualify as a psychologist without
dvanced graduate study; in a great many fields today, moreover, prof sional psychologists must hold the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

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, Cath•
olic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel Institute, Georgia School of
Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technolog}
New York University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Stevens
Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the
same with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course stu•
dents 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 pur•
sue civil, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high
school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with
the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122. Experience has shown tha
many students can profit from a course in algebra and trigonometry.
These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges and
universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman year

4 Students planning to teach in Pennsylvania should elect a course in America
History for permanent certification.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Ch mical engineering is concerned with the broad field of chemical
mdu try in which materials undergo a physical or a chemical change.
uch materials include paper, textiles, gasoline, other petroelum products,
coke, gas, dyes, electrochemical products, paints, rubber, plastics, cer~mi drugs, heavy chemicals, solvents, and many others. The chemical
nginccr is one skilled in the design, construction, operation and mangcment of industrial plants in _which materials are pr?duced by che~i I change. The chemical engmeer may be engaged m research or m
the development of a process, for he is expert in the application of the
rundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all chemical
ngineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includes a
thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics and a
ound understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechanical,
nd electrical engineering as will make him a competent development,
control, or sales engineer.

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

ENGINEERING PHYSICS
The curriculum in engineering physics is designed to equip men with
fl ible background of basic scientific knowledge. The primary emphasis is on the fundamental principles of physics .. At the same time the
ngineering viewpoint is developed so that practical problems ca_n be
pushed to completion. The first tw~ yea~s of wo_rk, offered at W~lkes,
are similar to those of the other engmeermg curricula. They provide a
ound basis for study toward advanced degrees in either physics or
s ific fields of engineering.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

SOPHOMORE YEAR 1

The field of industrial or management engineering has to do with t
methods of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personne
and design control to meet cost and production requirements. Prepara
tion with a background in science, engineering, economics, busin
administration, management, and history is necessary. The successf
industrial engineer must possess not only technical skill and ability b
also economic and humanistic interests, as well as character and person
ality. He must work with others and enlist their cooperation in th
pursuit of a common goal. The industrial engineer deals with peop
as well as with machines and materials. This curriculum offers the firr.
two years of work for those primarily interested in the administratio
of technical enterprises.

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

EVENING SESSION
Fall Semester

1966-1967
WILK.ES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA

�An
Educated
Man

seeks truth, for without truth there can be
no understanding;
possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;

Wilkes College
ilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Unir ity, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Juni r College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University
Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter
a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to
it current enrollment of approximately 1750 full-time day students
and 900 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and
continuing education programs.

has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;

Fr n its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
g ls - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a pr gram of service to the community.

knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;

AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for it purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
i bed the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best
by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence
and non-denominational in its control.

cultivates inner resources and spiritual
strength, for they enrich his daily Ji,.
ing and sustain him in times of crisi ;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner t at assures
understanding, f o r
understandin3
unites men in their search for truth.

Formulated and adopted by 1h,
faculty as a guide to learning,

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
' ar have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
Hege to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
cClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
d ision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
ork of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and
piritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative
mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philo ophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
th thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
require not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its mall circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
ba grounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their conietions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships
b
upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that
aeate unity and good will amidst diversity.

�While academic work is the basis of the College program, rbe
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importuee
unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine
character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can mab
men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."

�seeks truth, for without truth there can be
no understanding;

An
Educated
Man

possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;

Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Unier ity, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University
Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter
a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to
i current enrollment of approximately 1950 full-time day students
and 900 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and
oootinuing education programs.

has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;

From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
ls - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.

knows that man! s progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physial
endurance;

It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,

cultivates inner resources and spiritual
strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures
understanding, f o r understanding
unites men in their search for truth.

Formulated and adopted by th,
faculty as a guide to learning.

AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
ished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best
by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence
and non-denominational in its control.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a ~ocal Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and
piritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative
mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its mall circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their conietions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships
b upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that
er te unity and good will amidst diversity.

�While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance
unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fule
character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, ..Before you can make
men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."

Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the com•
munity all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning,
has resulted in cooperative action.

�Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Uni·
r ity, responding to a request of community leaders, established
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
ived its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College
grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,000
ull-time day students and 900 adults in the Evening College and
pecial classes.
From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
oals- a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.

AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
rished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served
t by an independent college that was interdenominational in its
uence and non-denominational in its control.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
1cClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of
their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to
trengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the
tellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
here the creative mind is free.

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
Acollege that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
b· the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our
orld requires not only great vision but warm understanding of

�Page 6 - WILKES COLLEGE

peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together studcn
of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them
to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encoura
them to create friendships based upon respect for difference, and
to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amid
diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, th
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong f ith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before yo
can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men'
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It ha
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and th
community all benefit from cooperative effort. This coopcrati
relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended
planning, has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded
steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing th
River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pa
with the expansion of the campus.

Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately
1900 full-time day students and 500 part-time evening school
students.
From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community.

It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts
in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served
best by an independent college that was interdenominational in
its influence and non-denominational in its control.

Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of
their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to
strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the
intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
where the ere a tive mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and
our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together

�Page 6 - WILKES COLLEGE

students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It
encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for
differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and
good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you
can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.

DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded
steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the
River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace
with the expansion of the campus.

A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience.
It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and
the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative
relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended
planning, has resulted in cooperative action.

ACCREDITATION
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has
been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of
the State of New York. The Chemistry curriculum is approved by
the American Chemical Society.

Man

no understanding;
possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;
has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;
knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;

for they enrich his daily living and
sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures
understanding, for understanding unites
men in their search for truth.

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

Admission Requirements
Education
at
Wilkes

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

HIGH SCHOOL RECORD
Candidates applying for admission to Wilkes should be high
school graduates and should offer at least fifteen units of work
representing the equivalent of the usual four-year high school preparatory school course. For entrance into certain departments,
specific courses in high school are necessary. An example would be
four years of Mathematics for those interested in studying the
physical sciences, engineering, or mathematics.
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
To assist students seeking admission, the College has adopted
procedures designed to simplify admissions.
Applications for admission and instructions regarding high school
records, recommendations, and entrance examinations may be
obtained from the Director of Admissions. The completed applications should be returned to him with a $10.00 registration fee.

�ADMISSIONS - Page 13

Page 12 - ADMISSIONS

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS
All candidates for admission to the freshman class will be required to take entrance examinations. The Admissions Committee
considers these test results in relation to the applicant's high school
transcript and the record of performance during the high school
years.

ADMISSIONS TESTS
The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board is required of all applicants. Students should plan to
take this examination in December or January of their senior year.
If unusual circumstances prevent the applicant from taking this
test, he must notify the Director of Admissions. Students who wish
the Admissions Committee to review their application on the basis
of College Boards taken in their junior year should make this request in writing to the Director of Admissions. Wilkes is a member
of the College Entrance Examination Boards.
Students communicating with the Educational Testing Center
in Princeton, New Jersey, or in Los Angeles, California, should
refer to the Wilkes College code number 2977.

ACCEPTANCE OF ADMISSION AND DEPOSIT
After receipt of the senior College Board scores the Admissions
Committee meets and acts upon all completed applications. Notification of action by the Committee is sent immediately. Resident
students are required to forward a $100.00 tuition and dormitory
deposit by May 1; local students are required to forward a $50.00
tuition deposit by May 1 in order to guarantee their entry into
the College.
The College accepts a limited number of applications for the
February class. Procedures are similar to those followed in the fall
semester.

The Admissions Committee is comprised of the Director of Admissions, Dean of Men, Dean of Women, and three faculty mem-

bers. This committee acts upon special cases referred to it by the
Director of Admissions.

PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
A personal interview with each student is not required. Students
and their families are invited to visit the College at their convenience. It is advisable to write for an appointment so that the Deans
may arrange to meet with them.

TRANSFER STUDENTS
Candidates from other institutions wishing to enter with advanced standing shall follow the regular procedure for admission.
The student should request the college or university he is attending
to forward to Wilkes a transcript and an official statement of his
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. Acceptable credits will be placed on
the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation.
College policy prohibits the Admissions Committee from considering for admission any student who has been placed on academic probation or who has been dropped from any other college or
university.

ADVANCED COURSE STANDING
Superior students who have undertaken college-level courses in
secondary school may request college credit for such work and
permission to enter advanced courses. To qualify for advanced
placement, the high school student must take the Advanced Placement tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, in addition to the regular Scholastic Aptitude tests required for admission.
Action by the College will be determined by scores obtained on the
Advanced Placement Examination, the high school record submitted by the student, and the recommendations of the high school
faculty. After he is admitted the applicant will request the College
Entrance Examination Board to send the results of the Advanced
Placement Tests to the Director of Admissions. The request will

�The Facilities of the College
Buildings and Plant
The College is constantly seeking to implement and improve its
facilities for instruction. A growing campus provides added classrooms, modern laboratories, and an up-to-date scientific research
center. A new dormitory and dining quarters were completed in
the fall of 1966. The Center for the Performing Arts was dedicated
in the fall of 1965. The Board of Trustees has approved plans for
the construction of a music and art building adjacent to the theater.
A new library, with a capacity of 300,000 volumes and study
facilities for over six hundred students, will be completed in 1968.
THE LIBRARY

The present library is the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Morgan Kirby. The home was presented to the College in 1941 as a
gift of Allan Kirby, son of Wilkes-Barre's most generous benefactors. The building was first named the Kirby Home for Education.
Since 1947 it has been used as the College library.

Education is the process of connecting and relating, of testing and retesting, of discovery and

its relevance to human experience.
The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner resources of thr
mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his
.achievement.

This three-floor stone structure contains more than 75,000 volumes and some 500 current periodicals and journals. Students and
faculty use the resources of the periodical, reference, and Treasure
rooms for research and reading assignments. Shelved on open
stacks, the books are easily accessible and may be borrowed for
periods of two weeks. Reserve books for particular courses circulate
for the time period specified by the instructor.
The library is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to

10 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Saturday and
Sunday from I p.m. to 4 p.m. During vacation periods the hours
are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; during examination periods from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. on weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and from
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Students may borrow books from the
ten nearby libraries (public and college) through the interlibrary
loan system.
An introduction to the use of the library is given to every freshman during the freshman orientation week.

Student Regulations

�Counseling
The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage
the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to
assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all he
must learn to assume responsibility for all he does.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The transition from the directed work of the high school to
the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the term are
therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their academic
program.
During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign language, and English-placement tests. The week also gives
the new students an opportunity to become acquainted with one
another and to learn about the College, the curriculum, and the
student activities.

In college the teacher works with the stu-

Studying
at

Wilkes

dent, challenging him to extend the limits of
his mind. He encourages him to think courageously and truthfully and to create with all
his resources so that he may act with independent judgment.

In a college community freedom of inquiry
is essential.
In the world community the right of the
individual to differ safeguards the freedom of
all men.
As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone.

Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for
one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic,
and vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty discuss
with them:

1. Methods of intelligent self-directed study.
2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships
with others.

3. Values of the College extracurricular program.
4. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy
of life.
By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and
conducting these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view.

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

�Page 40 - COUNSELING

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

Student Activities
The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program of
extracurricular activities that contribute to the educational development of the student who chooses to participate.
Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of
tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College
community. The student activities includ~ Athletics, Dramatics, the
College Band, Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male Chorus,
Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers.
There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic,
professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed for students in cooperation with the faculty. All women students may
become members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own executive
committee, which plans and arranges social activities.
The College requires that all campus organizations be open to
all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist.
All student groups work in cooperation with faculty advisers and
the Deans.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of
annually elected members representing the classes and other student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency; it appropriates funds from the Student Activities budget to all student
groups; it supervises the College social calendar; it arranges the
program for Homecoming; it establishes social regulations and
conduct; and it serves in an advisory capacity to the Director of
Student Activities and the Administrative Council.
INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL
The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives
from the men's and women;s residence halls, plans and coordinates
dormitory social functions and develops and administers dormitory
policy.

�Page 42 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE

Social Activities

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.

The College believes in helping students to help themselves.
Groups are encouraged to initiate programs that will serve their
interest and benefit others. It has been found that students gain
most from those activities, social and cultural, which release the
best talents of the individual.

Each student is required to attend assemblies during each of his
four years. He will, however, be allowed the following number of
cuts each year: freshman and sophomore year, four cuts; junior
year, eight cuts; senior year, fifteen cuts.

Special projects include the following: IDR's Golden Agers
Christmas party, at which residents of Convalescent Homes are
entertained; Student Government's party for children of St. Stanislaus Orphanage; Wilkes J.C.'s party for YMCA children; Student
Work Day, in support of an orphan in a foreign land.

These requirements must be satisfied to establish eligibility for
graduation.

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

In addition there are various social affairs to raise money for the
United Fund, to collect toys for the Salvation Army, and to donate
books for students in foreign countries.
The Student Seminar Committee, patterned after the Faculty
Seminars, encourages discussion of topics of interest to the student
body. Under sponsorship of Student Government, the seminars
attract students as well as faculty.
A full and varied program of social and recreational activities
supplements the extracurricular program. At all these functions
members of the faculty and their wives are invited guests and
chaperones.

COME-AND-MEET-US-PARTY
Student Government makes plans for student leaders to welcome
the freshmen one week before the semester starts. An informal
party and dance for the entire student body culminate the week's
introduction to college life.

PARENTS' DAY
After they have adjusted themselves to the academic life of the
College, students invite their families to a weekend of social, cultural, and athletic events. Preparations for the annual Parents'

�SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - Page 45

Page 44 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Day program are entirely the responsibility of a Student Planning
Committee. The agenda includes intercollegiate soccer and football
games, luncheon with the faculty, a play, and a film.

HOMECOMING
To welcome returning alumni, students construct displays on
campus and decorate dormitory and classroom buildings. For the
outstanding displays an alumni committee presents awards during
halftime ceremonies at the football game. A Homecoming Queen
and her escorts are feted at a dinner dance.

FORMAL DANCES
Student organizations and clubs sponsor four formal affairs, open
to the entire student body. The Homecoming Dance, for alumni
and undergraduates; the Lettermen's Christmas Formal; Theta
Delta Rho's Valentine Formal; and during Spring Weekend the
Cinderella Ball have become traditions on campus.

TDR AND LETTERMEN TEAS
Throughout the year TDR and the Lettermen sponsor afternoon
teas and student receptions. The women of Theta Delta Rho entertain those high school seniors who plan to enter the College the
following year.

IDC CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Inter-Dormitory Council sponsors an annual Christmas
party preceding the winter vacation. The student body, faculty,
and administration are invited to a buffet and dance.

HAMPTON EXCHANGE PROGRAM
IDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students
from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia
Several Wilkes students during the last week of April and an equal
number of Hampton students during the first week of May visit
the other's campus. Faculty members and Deans accompany both
groups.

WILKES OPEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT
Between Christmas and New Year's the College sponsors the
Wilkes Open Wrestling Championships. Known as the "Rose
Bowl of Wrestling," this annual tournament attracts athletes from
over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout the
United States. Wilkes wrestlers join them in competing for individual and team awards. Tourneys and clinics are held over a
three-day period in the Wilkes gymnasium. The Tournament, the
largest in the country, has the record for the most number of entries.

WINTER CARNIVAL
Student Government sponsors a Winter Carnival, held at one of
the nearby resorts in the Poconos. A day of skiing, tobagganing,
and ice skating climaxes the close of the examination period.

SPRING WEEKEND
Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and
organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes
on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. At the Ball at midnight on Saturday
a senior, chosen by the student body by secret ballot, is crowned
Cinderella Queen.

THE MANUSCRIPT FILMS
During each semester the Manuscript Society brings to the campus distinguished motion pictures, produced by American and
foreign film companies.

CLUB ACTIVITIES
In addition to the regular social calendar, campus organizations
plan their own special activities.
THE PRESIDENT'S PICNIC
On the Saturday before Commencement the graduating class
is invited by the President to a picnic and outing in the country.

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

Student Regulations
It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis
of good relations between individuals. Informal and friendly
associations between students and faculty are a tradition on campus.
Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have
been established in the best interests of the individual and the
College. A few are mentioned here:

I. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden,
and none will be served at college affairs.
2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, or in the
library. Facilities are available in various buildings for students
who may wish to smoke during their free periods.

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

3. Although participation in at least one student activity is
encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing
his time effectively.
4. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special
religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student shall
present his instructors with a note from the Deans. In all instances
the student is expected to make up the work that is missed.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
The students in a great measure determine the influences of the
College. The faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing
the highest possible standards of intellect and morals.
Because students benefit from a program and policies to which
they subscribe, the College may request students to withdraw when
their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to the best
interests of the student body.

�Curricula
Graduate Programs
CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, AND BIOLOGY
To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the
nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to the
degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics. These
curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time graduate
study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers and
scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed in the
Wilkes-Barre area. A program leading to a Master of Science degree in Biology will begin in September, 1967.
Full details of these programs are published in the bulletin of
the Graduate Division.

COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAM

Learning
at

Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and
beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better
expression of man's purpose than his sense of
belonging to a universe ruled by truth.

Wilkes
Creative thinkers set the standards and the
high aims of education. One may not reach these
standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought after is the measure of one's
intellectual interests.
The faculty encourages the student to cultivate
learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way
the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise
and delight at rediscovering itself.

Wilkes is cooperating with Temple University to bring to the
area a graduate program in education.
The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master
of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers.
Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative
program all credits are granted by Temple University.
Details of this graduate program in education may be obtained
by writing to the Director of Admissions.

Undergraduate Programs
Wilkes is an independent, liberal arts college that offers the
degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences,
and the natural sciences.
All course work in education required for careers in teaching
is available in combination with the degree programs mentioned.

�Page 52 - CURRICULA
CURRICULA - Page 53

The College also con£ers the degree of Bachelor of Science in
chemistry, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance,
and secondary education.
A detailed description of these programs is provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."

PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM
Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to
qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an exception to this requirement for medical and dental students. These
students may, with the approval of the graduation committee,
satisfy the requirements for the bachelor's degree by completing
three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting
credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school.
Such students must petition the graduation committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional
school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the final
approval for the granting of the degree rests with the Academic
Standing Committee of Wilkes College.

ENGINEERING
Qualified students may enter the two-year engineering curriculum. Upon the successful completion of the engineering program
the student may transfer as a junior to an institution granting
degrees in his field. A detailed description of these programs is
provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs."

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

When the student completes thirty hours, his record is reviewed
by the Admissions Committee. At this time the Committee recommends that a student continue to work for a degree, or be placed
on probation, or withdraw from the Evening Division.
Students who do not desire a degree are admitted to all classes
~hich they are qualified to take by reason of their maturity, prev10us education, and experience. High school training is desirable
but not necessary, provided the student is qualified to follow special
courses of instruction in which he wishes to register.
The courses offered in the Evening Division are designed for
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 discussion courses offered in various business fields.

5. Individuals wishing to broaden their knowledge or to increase
their skill in certain fields for their personal satisfaction and
improvement.
Day School students will be allowed to take courses in the Evening Division only after having received written permission from the
Deans or the Registrar.

Summer School
The faculty offers selected courses during summer sessions of six
and eight weeks. The summer sessions begin in the third week of
June.

�Page 54 - CURRICULA

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.
A student from Wilkes College who wishes to take summer work
at another institution must secure the approval of the Academic
Standing Committee. Application in writing shall be made through

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

Grade

Interpretation

4 ......................... Academic achievement of outstanding quality.
3

..................... Academic achievement of high quality.

2 ......................... Academic achievement of acceptable quality
in meeting requirements for graduation.
1 ....................... Academic achievement of quality below the
average required for graduation.
0 .......................... Academic achievement below the minimum
required for course credit.

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

COURSE CREDITS
Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of
credits. For example, English IOI is a 3 credit course and English
151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course are
determined by the number of hours that the class meets per week.

�ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 57

Page 56 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

POINT AVERAGES

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

Notice that the student has accumulated 12 credits toward graduation. The zero grade in English means that the student must
repeat that course.

If these yearly averages are not attained, the student's record is
reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee to determine
whether or not he should be allowed to remain in college.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

Any student failing to meet these grade requirements will be
placed on probation. Failure to attain these standards in the next
semester will result in automatic dismissal from the College.
Unless special permission is granted by the Academic Standing
Committee, a student dropped for academic failure will not be
considered for readmission until one year after being dropped.
Upon readmission the student will still be on probation and
shall be given one semester in which to prove his ability to continue in college.
ATTENDANCE

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

Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be added
to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end of his
senior year a 1.85 average in all his courses and a 2.0 average in
his major field.

STUDENT LOAD

CLASS STANDING

Credits in excess of the normal load are charged at the usual
rate per credit, unless it can be shown that a student is compelled
to take an overload because of the rotation of courses within a
department.

Marks and averages at the end of each of the four academic
years indicate a student's progress. The faculty expects students to
achieve the following averages:
End of Freshman Year .. ..... .. .... .......... ... ...... ....... .....
End of Sophomore Year ........ ........ ............. ... ... .......
End of Junior Year ...... .......................................... ..

General

No students shall be allowed to carry an overload without approval of the adviser and the Dean. An overload will be permitted
only for students with an average grade record of 3 or special need.

WITHDRAWALS

Students may change their courses during the first week of a
semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty adviser

Page 58 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

and the Dean. A student who withdraws from a course after the
first week but who continues other courses will receive a zero unless the Dean, faculty adviser, and instructor agree that the student be permitted to drop the course without prejudice.
No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's
day school program for academic reasons will be permitted to
register in the Evening Division without the written consent of the
Dean and then will be allowed to register only as a non-matriculating student.
Students who withdraw from the Evening Division or drop
courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the Director
of the Evening Division and to the instructors concerned, in order
that their records may not unjustly show failure in courses.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM
Students who wish to transfer from one department to another
shall obtain the approval of the Department Chairmen and the
Dean. The student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of the
Bulletin in force at the time of transfer.

TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS
Students desiring to study at another college during the summer
must petition the Academic Standing Committee for approval. The
student must earn a grade of 2 or higher in order for the work to
be credited toward graduation. In some cases it may be necessary
for a student to take examinations before credit is granted.

DEAN'S LIST
The faculty gives recognition for high quality work. Candidates
for the Dean's List, publishe_d at the end of each term, must obtain
a point average of 3.25 or higher for all courses taken. Students
taking less than the full credit load for their curriculum will not be
eligible for the Dean's List.

HONORS
The granting of Honors at Commencement is based upon the
academic record made by students carrying a normal load for their
curriculum during their last two years at the College. Requirements
for Honors are as follows: for cum laude, a cumulative average of
3.35; magna cum laude, 3.60; summa cum laude, 3.80.

�Graduation Requirements
All candidates for degrees and certificates must be present at
Commencement. If circumstances prevent their attendance, students must apply to the appropriate Dean for permission to take

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

Wilkes

It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate,
that makes a man sink into the depths. To think
there is no escape from preordained misery is to
make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths in
a constant renewal of strength - that has always
been the secret of progress. When a man waits
helplessly for the turning in the wheel of fortune,
he has to be regarded as shorn of manhood.

If we could free even one village from the
shackles of helplessness and ignorance, an ideal
for the whole of India would be established. Let
a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall
say they are my India. That is the way to disco·,er
the true India.

The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college
organization which views regional problems as belonging to no
simple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. It is really the natural
integration of prior activities in which members of the Wilkes
College faculty have engaged for at least twenty years. The Institute of Regional Affairs was created to assure the coordination of
these varied efforts and better understand and resolve complex
and contemporary problems.
Its resources include not only the College faculty in the social
sciences - economics, psychology, government, sociology - but
also those experts in the region who can lend their talents to teaching, research, and consultation. Its four-fold purpose is: education
and training, community information, research, and consultation.

I. Labor-Management Courses
To establish a climate for industrial progress, the College has
pioneered a management training program under which special
classes are org~nized for personnel in industry, commerce, and
banking to meet the needs of business firms in this region. Such
programs are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and
other employees to meet the specific problems of a particular company.

�Page 66 - COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY - Page 67

A program designed for members of labor unions is also tailored
to the needs of a particular group. All classes are conducted on
the campus where the intellectual climate stimulates free intellectual inquiry.
Union and management personnel sometimes meet together in
an effort to develop that mutual understanding that is essential to
constructive action.

As a result of the support and the success of the College's Area
Research Center, an independent Economic Development Council
has been established to serve Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
College has supported a number of programs in their infancy and
helped them become independent, community activities.

Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra
2. Banking
Short courses have been co-sponsored with both the Institute of
Banking and the Savings and Loan Institute. The instructional
program offered to the personnel of these two groups is intended
to assist them to meet changing needs and acquire a broad knowledge in their fields.

3. Municipal Government Program
The fundamental general purpose in assisting local governments
has been to help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government,
so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems. The
program of training, information and consultation service, publications, and research in this field have been aimed at improving
the world of local government officials, both elected and appointed.
In the fall of 1964, the Glen Alden Coal Company made available
an area in Hanover Township known as Concrete City - a 40
acre site - for training the police, firemen, and civil defense
workers. The In-Service training program for local government
officials has been offered in full cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the
regis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of three
symphony concerts annually. A number of the members are students and faculty from the department of music of the College.

Fine Arts Fiesta
The College participates with area-wide cultural groups in the
Wyoming Valley Fine Arts Fiesta, a festival of music, drama, and
the arts presented on the public square each spring.

Performing Arts Center
The Center for the Performing Arts provides a varied program
of cultural and educational events for the Community as well as
the College.
Completed in 1965, the gift of friends of the College, the Center
has facilities for theater, ballet, music, and films. Dramatic productions, student recitals, lectures, choral and band concerts, Town
and Gown programs, and other cultural programs are offered
throughout the year.
The Center is operated by the students under faculty direction
and supervision.

4. Other Activities
From time to time, the Psychology Department, the Sociology
Department, the Education Department, and the Guidance Center
have initiated and participated in seminars, conferences, and workshops, in the fields of social welfare, mental health, and education.

The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students
may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools.
Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as early as
possible with their department chairman.

In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal
education and for the concentration in special areas for which students
are qualified and have interest. In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science degree programs the faculty encourages the student to achieve
intellectual, social, and spiritual development.

Wilkes

Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our
society can never accept uncertainty and confusion
as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can
grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final
answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths,
or we can make every effort to comprehend the
significance of new facts, new truths, and new
conditions.
We must endeavor to extend the vision of our
students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and
developing our social institutions.

Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily concerned with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and
of the men who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around
men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs
are designed to create breadth and perspective as opposed to more specialized skills.
A liberal arts program must acquaint the student with the nature and
extent of knowledge in all the principal fields. The student will carry
on his explorations in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR B.A. DEGREE

The following courses are required of all candidates for the Bachelor
of Arts degree. They will usually be taken in the semesters indicated.

This is a time of specialization and of dis integration: and one is the
consequence of the other.

In a curriculum that requires a student to begin with courses at a
more advanved level, the advanced course will be accepted as fulfilling
the general requirements in that subject.

The rapid development of knowledge makes universal knowledge impossible. There is so much to know that no one can master all the
knowledge available in even a single area. Because there is so much
to know, specialization of study in the professions and in all work is
essential.

Required
Courses

Over specialization narrows the man and splinters society into groups
that cannot understand one another. In some instances, specialists become so involved in their narrow fields that they fail to recognize they
are all indebted to the same society.
Because specialization is inevitable, and because specialization can
become a divisive force, Wilkes College wishes to inject into its program,
courses that will broaden the horizons of its students and cultivate some
understanding of the "wholeness" of modern society.
To accomplish this end the College requires students to familiarize
themselves with the thinking, the processes, and the institutions upon
which modern society is founded. Through this program it is hoped
that each student will gain breadth of vision, depth of understanding,
and an ability to communicate with others so that ideas may be exchanged and understanding attained. Only men and women who combine depth of understanding with breadth of vision can become a unifying force in modern society.

SELECTION OF A MAJOR

Bachelor of Science Degree

To provide depth of knowledge, some concentration is required. It is
desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, especially in the
areas of biology, mathematics, and music. It is essential that the major
field of concentration be elected before the beginning of the junior year.

The Bachelor of Science degree programs require more concentration
upon a restricted area of human thought and activity. Although these
programs emphasize knowledge and skill in special fields, a basic program of general education is coupled with this specialized effort.

Majors in the Bachelor of Arts degree program may be selected from
the following subject areas:

Course Requirements in the Majors
Biology 1
Students who major in Biology may be planning careers in medicine,
teaching, industrial biology, research, or pre-professional training required for many positions in science-oriented business or professional
schools. The biology program is a general program covering basic areas
of biology. Specific pre-professional training is minimized in favor of
the broadest possible background in the liberal arts as well as the biological sciences. Students planning to major in biology should take
courses in high school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122.
Experience has shown that many students can profit from a course in
algebra and trigonometry. These courses are usually offered in the
summer at most colleges and universities and may be taken in the
summer prior to the freshman year. The following are the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in biology.

Political Science 101 and 102 or Sociology 101 and 102

Political Science
A major in Political Science consists of twenty-four hours which must
include either Political Science 201 or Political Science 202. Political
Science 101 and 102 are not accepted toward a major.

A major in Psychology consists of twenty-four hours. Psychology 101
and 102 are not accepted toward a major; Sociology 255 and Education
200 are accepted. Psychology 203 and 204 are required for the major. In
addition to the general requirements the department requires that the
two-semester courses in mathematics, physics, and biology be taken. In
addition, English 131 and Economics 231 are required.
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.

ocial Science
The Social Science major requires a total of thirty-six hours in economics, history, political science, and sociology. Eighteen hours must be
in one of these subject areas and at least six hours in each of the other
three. Only courses beyond the 101, 102 level will count toward these
major requirements. Exception will be made to this requirement for
students preparing to teach in public schools. In order to meet the
certification requirements in education 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.

ociology-Anthropology
A major in Sociology consists of twenty-four hours. Although Sociology 101, 102 are prerequisites to all the courses in sociology, they are
not accepted toward a major in sociology. Political Science 204 and
Philosophy 206 will be accepted toward the major in sociology. Students
who intend to major in sociology are requested to plan their work in the
department in consultation with the chairman. A major in sociology

MAJOR IN BUSINESS EDUCATION

The degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Education is designed
to provide a background in general education while it prepares the student for teaching business subjects in secondary schools or for a career
in business.

A student planning to enter as a freshman may find it advantageous,
at first, to consider a two-year program leading to a certificate in general
office or secretarial proficiency. This two-year program provides a
foundation for general secretarial preparation, or prepares for later
specialization in the four-year major in business education.

Engineering
Wilkes College offers the first two years of the engineering curricula.
Upon completion of the second year, students making acceptable records
may transfer to the junior year of other engineering schools.
In the past, students have transferred to, and successfully completed
their work at, such representative colleges as Alabama, Bucknell, Catholic University, Columbia, Cornell, Drexel Institute, Georgia School of
Technology, Lafayette, Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
New York University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue, Stevens
Institute, Syracuse, and the University of Nebraska.
During the first year the curricula for all engineering courses are the
same with the exception of chemical engineering, in which course students must take two additional hours of chemistry in the second semester.
For this reason the student should decide by the middle of the first year
between chemical engineering and one of the other branches of engineering. The curricula change further at the beginning of the second year.
For this reason the student should decide by then whether he will pursue civil, industrial, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Students planning to major in Engineering should take courses in high
school that prepare them to start the College mathematics program with
the course in analytic geometry, Math. 122. Experience has shown that
many students can profit from a course in algebra and trigonometry.
These courses are usually offered in the summer at most colleges and
universities and may be taken in the summer prior to the freshman year.

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is basic to the study of reronautical 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 petroelum 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.

The curriculum in engineering physics is designed to equip men with
a flexible background of basic scientific knowledge. The primary emphasis is on the fundamental principles of physics. At the same time the
engineering viewpoint is developed so that practical problems can be
pushed to completion. The first two years of work, offered at Wilkes,
are similar to those of the other engineering curricula. They provide a
sound basis for study toward advanced degrees in either physics or
specific fields of engineering.

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 cooperation 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.

The program 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. Credits required for the degree are one hundred
twenty-three, of which at least seventy-three must be college credits.

An
Educated
Man

possesses vision, for he knows that vision pre•
cedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;
has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;
knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;
cultivates inner resources and spiritual
strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the com•
munity;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding
unites men in their search for truth.
Formulated and adopted by lbt
faculty as a guide to learning.

Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University
Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter
as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to
its current enrollment of approximately 2000 full-time day students
and 900 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and
continuing education programs.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best
by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence
and non-denominational in its control.
FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and
spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative
mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships
based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that
create unity and good will amidst diversity.

�While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance
unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine
character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, ••Before you can make
men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT

The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the com•
munity all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning,
has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH

Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Com•
mon. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the
expansion of the campus.

has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which the
needs of the individual and the company are analyzed.

other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific
requirements of the particular group. Where several firms are confronted with common problems, special classes are organiz•.:d to include representation of several companies.

�An
Educated
Man

seeks truth, for without truth there can be
no understanding;
possesses vision, for he knows thac vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;

Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established its
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University
Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter
as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to
its current enrollment of approximately 2200 full-time day students
and 1000 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and
continuing education programs.

has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;

From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.

knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;

AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best
by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence
and non-denominational in its control.

cultivates inner resources and spiritual
strength, for they enrich his daily Jiving and sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the ocial, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding
unites men in their search for truth.
Formulated and adopted by

,h,

facuity as a guide to learning.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and
spirirual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative
mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world
requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In
its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,
backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships
based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that
create unity and good will amidst diversity.

�While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance
unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine
character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, .. Before you can make
men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT

The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning,
has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH

Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the
expansion of the campus.
ACCREDITATION

Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been
accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State
of New York.

other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific
requirements of the particular group. Where several firms are confronted with common problems, special classes are organized to include representation of several companies.
INSTITUTE OF REGIONAL AFFAIRS
The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college

Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation.
The underlying philosophy of the Institute of Regional Affairs
is cooperation, rather than reform or partisanship.

possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and belief~
that exist among men;
has faith in the power of ideals to shape the
lives of men;
knows that man's progress requires intellectual
vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;
cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength,
for they enrich his daily living and
sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the rel~gious convictions of all men;

communicates ideas in a manner that assures

�Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established
its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College
has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,200
full-time day students and 900 adults in the Evening College and
special classes.
From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
and a program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian,
for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served
best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its
influence and non-denominational in its control.
FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of
their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to
strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the
intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
where the creative mind is free.
UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our
world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of

�Page 6 -

WILKES COLLEGE

peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students
of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them
to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages
them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and
to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst
diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you
can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men."
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community services has been strengthened
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the
community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative
relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended
planning, has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded
steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the
River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace
with the expansion of the campus.
ACCREDITATION
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, Certified Public Accounting Examiners of
the State of New York, and the American Chemical Society.

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

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR B.A. DEGREE
This is a time of specialization and of disintegration:
consequence of the other.
The rapid development of knowledge makes universal knowledge
possible. There is so much to know that no one can master all
knowledge available in even a single area. Because there is so m
to know, specialization of study in the professions and in all \\Or
essential.
Over-specialization narrows the man and splinters society into gro
that cannot understand one another. In some instances, speciali ts
come so involved in their narrow fields that they fail to recognize t
are all indebted to the same society.
Because specialization is inevitable, and because specialization
become a divisive force, Wilkes College wishes to inject into its progr
courses that will broaden the horizons of its students and cultivate
understanding of the "wholeness" of modern society.
To accomplish this end the College requires students to famili r
themselves with the thinking, the processes, and the institution u
which modern society is founded. Through this program it is ho
that each student will gain breadth of vision, depth of understand'
and an ability to communicate with others so that ideas may be
changed and understanding attained. Only men and women who co
bine depth of understanding with breadth of vision can become a um
ing force in modern society.
To provide a feasible and productive combination of courses the
lege's program of general education requires the student to acq
familiarity with the humanities, the social sciences, and the scien

the development of a process, for he is expert in the application of
fundamental unit-manufacturing processes which underlie all che
engineering. The equipment of the chemical engineer includ
thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics and
sound understanding of such fundamentals of chemical, mechan·
and electrical engineering as will make him a competent developm

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Th fi Id of industrial or management engineering has to do with the
thod of manufacture and production; the effects thereon of personnel;
nd design control to meet cost and production requirements. Preparan ith a background in science, engineering, economics, business
dmini tration, management, and history is necessary. The successful
du trial engineer must possess not only technical skill and ability but
I
nomic and humanistic interests, as well as character and personlit . He must work with others and enlist their cooperation in the
ur uit of a common goal. The industrial engineer deals with people
II a with machines and materials. This curriculum offers the first

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Th m chanical engineer is concerned with the design, construction,
t llation, and operation of machinery necessary for the economical
pplication of mechanical power to industry. He must utilize power
rorn whatever source derived. The generation of power, whether by
m hydro or internal-combustion engines, is of primary concern to
h mechanical engineer in the power field. His services are necessary
h re,er process equipment and machine tools are made or used.

Th mechanical engineer must of necessity be broadly trained in the
undamental sciences and in economics and humanities. Ability and skill
nth application of the basic sciences are not sufficient. He must have
n understanding of the influence of his profession upon our way of life
nd how its development and expansion affect our future.

Wilkes [ollege
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University,
r ponding to a request of community leaders, established its Junior

College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior
College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a
four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its curnt enrollment of approximately 2200 full-time day students and 1000
v ning students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing
ducation programs.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals
a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a
program of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for
1t purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished
h College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the comunity. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an ind pendent college that was interdenominational in its influence and
non-denominational in its control.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY

Y ars have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
d cision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
ork of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is

fre .
Formulated and adopted by the
faculty as a guide to learning.

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY

college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its
mall circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,

�backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their con•
victions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendship
based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals tha
create unity and good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the facul,
ty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unl
students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character
In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men docto
and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
The original concept of community effort has been strengthen
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has b
clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the communi
all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship,
its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has result
in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH
Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied th
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadil
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Comma
Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansio
of the campus.
ACCREDITATION
Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Coll
and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accred•
ited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of e
York.

�Wilkes C:ollege

seeks truth, for without truth there can be
no understanding;

An
Educated
Man

possesses vision, for he knows that vision
precedes all great attainments;
is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs
that exist among men;
has faith in the power of ideals to shape th
lives of 11 zen;
knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical
endurance;
cultivates inner resources and spiritual
strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis;
has ethical standards by which he lives;
respects the religious convictions of all men;
participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community;
communicates ideas in a manner that assures
understanding, for understanding unites
men in their search for truth.

ilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University,
ponding to a request of community leaders, established its Junior
College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior
College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a
four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its curnt enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 1000
ening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing
ducation programs.
From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals
a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a
rogram of service to the community.
AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for
t purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished
College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the comunity. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an inpendent college that was interdenominational in its influence and
on-denominational in its control.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY

Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their
cision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the
ork of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spirual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is

r e.
Formulated and adopted by the
faculty as a guide to learning.

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY

A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
hilosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by
e thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its
mall circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths,

�backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their c
victions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friend h
based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideal
create unity and good will amidst diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, the fa
ty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance uni
students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine char ct
In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men docto
and lawyers, you must first make them men."
Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT

The original concept of community effort has been strengthen
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has b
clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the commun
all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship,
its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has r ul
in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH

Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied th
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded ste d
so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Commo
Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the e pan ·
of the campus.
ACCREDITATION

Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of
State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Associati011 of Colle
and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been ace
ited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of

�Wilkes College
Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Unir ity, responding to a request of community leaders, established
Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell
( ni\crsity Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College
r hed its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College
h grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,400
full-time day students and 1,000 adults in the Evening College and
cial classes.
J'rom its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin
oal - a ound and stimulating intellectual experience for students
nd n program of service to the community.

AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE

It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian,
for it purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters
i hed the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in
the community. It was believed that these ends could be served
t by an independent college that was interdenominational in its
'nfluence and non-denominational in its control.

FREEDOM OF INQUIRY
Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior
College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S.
lcClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of
their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to
rcngthcn the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the
·ntellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous
~h re the creative mind is free.

UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY
college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite
philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided
b} the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our
odd requires not only great vision but warm understanding of

�Page 6 -

WILKES COLLEGE

peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together studen
of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages th m
to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourag
them to create friendships based upon respect for difference, and
to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amid t
diversity.
While academic work is the basis of the College program, th
faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith
and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you
can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them m n.
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT

The original concept of community services has been strengthen d
with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It ha
been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and th
community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperati\
relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended
planning, has resulted in cooperative action.
DECADES OF GROWTH

Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their
support during the past decades and the campus has expanded
steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the
River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pa
with the expansion of the campus.
ACCREDITATION

Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Im.lruction of
the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of Colle
and Secondary Schools, Certified Public Accounting Examiner of
the State of New York, and the American Chemical Society.
