f 1 I af f HE HISTORY OF DICKINSON COL- LEGE has so often found its way into words that it was deemed unnecessary that the 1938 MICROCOSM should again reprint it. Instead, we are attempting to offer a satisfy- ing glimpse ofit through the campus photo- graphs which follow. Above these lines is the date 1783, carved into the stone above the main portal of Old West- the first College building. Old Wert and 1783 are forever linked with the beginning of Dickinsong there is history in the stone and history in the building. Old West, Old East, and Bosler, covered with rich ivy, deep in Dickinson tradition, carry the mind back to the earliest days of the College's history. They represent its origin, its struggles, and its early success. The quiet campus paths, the aged elms and bitches, the clock of Denny in the sun- light, hurrying students, and Conway's much-used doorway are Dickinson's pres- ent This is the Dickinson we know best, and the part we shall never forget. But the past and the present are not the whole story. In the Alumni Gymnasium and the Baird Biology Building we see the pioneering steps to the Dickinson of the future. By these mute evidences of history, the past is linked to the present, and the present to that still to come. In all, it is true that Dickinson history lives as much in these buildings, and in its campus, as in the volumes of words that have been compiled concerning it.
