Description: Dickinson College, another Methodist school. Rev. Crever is considered to be the founder of Lycoming College as he was the one to transition the high school into its collegiate beginnings. After turning the Williamsport Academy into an institution of higher learning, Crever moved on to serve as a chaplain in the Civil War and founded a total of four schools. Only Lycoming College remains as his educational legacy. In 1921, Rev. John W. Long became the ninth president of the school. Pastor at S. Paul's Methodist Church in State College and founder of the Wesley Foundation at Pennsylvania State College, now Penn State University, he had experience as a pastor and working with students. He became president of three institutions without moving. He transformed Williamsport Dickinson Seminary into Williamsport Dickinson Seminary and Junior College in 1929. It was the first private junior college in the state and another frontier in higher education in America. In 1947, the school became Lycoming College, a four-year school. The College adopted the name "Lycoming" in 1948, a Native American word for a nearby stream which means, "sandy stream," and the name of the County. These changes came with substantial support from the Board of Trustees and the local community. In 1949, the college conferred its first baccalaureate degrees. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1909, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear.
