HISTORY OF ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE ELIZABETHTOWN College was founded by the Church of the Brethren in the year 1900. It arose from a recognition of the increasing need for educating young people in an atmosphere permeated with the spirit of Christ and His teachings. From the beginning an academy was operated in connection with the College department, but in 1925 the academy was discontinued and all the resources of the institution devoted to the pursuance of college work. On December 19, 192 1, the College was accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of Penn- sylvania for the preparation of teachers in both the elementary and secondary fields. Elizabeth town College was one of the first colleges in Pennsylvania to be accredited for the preparation of high school teachers in the commercial field. About seventy-five per cent of the graduates of the College enter the teaching profession. The State Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1928 placed Elizabeth- town College on the list of colleges approved to give the pre-legal course. The graduates of the College are admitted as candidates for graduate study at Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, and others. Membership in the Association of American Colleges is now pending. The examination of college seniors in the colleges of Pennsylvania in 1928 by the Carnegie Founda- tion for the Advancement of Teaching, ranked Elizabethtown College tenth among the forty-two colleges included in the test. The College has a beautiful twenty-five acre campus on which are situated five buildings which are entirely devoted to the work of the College. The total assets of the College according to the Treasurer ' s Report of August 30, 1930, are $745,445.65, of which amount $200,001 is endowment, with $191,215.59 additional in interest-bearing pledges. Recently the College received a gift of $46,860 as an addition to the endow- in ' nt within the next five-year period. The enrollment has grown st?adily during the last five years, as the following figures show: The total enrollment in all courses for the year 1925-26 was 391 ; for 1926-27, 453; for 1927-28, 474; for 1928-29, 473; for 1929-30, 511; for 1930-31, 478. The average attendance during the academic year is 160. With the growth of the College her alumni are yearly filling more important positions in the teaching profession and in other fields of service. With an en- thusiastic alumni supporting Elizabethtown College, a bright future is facing the institution. Page twenty-five
