HISTORY OF TEMPLE UNIVERSITY TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, now multiplying its many forms of helpful influence, had a very humble beginning thirty-nine years ago. In 1844 an earnest young man, desirous of entering the Christian ministry, but unqualified in not having the necessary education, suggested that a course of study for ambitious young men might be offered at night. The present President endorsed the plan, a small group of students came together, with the President as its first teacher. The educational movement, which had its rise in such an unpretentious way, has gradually grown to commanding proportions. Two years after its inception the increase in the number of students necessitated a removal to a separate building. At the time when the institution secured the College Charter—1888—the number of students was 590. The number of students for the academic year 1922 was 8500 in regular courses. The power to confer degrees was granted in 1891. and the Day Department opened in the fall of the same year. On December 12, 1907, the charter was amended, changing the name from the Temple College to Temple University. The Theological School was opened in the fall of 1892; the Law School in the early spring of 1895: the Medical School in September of 1901. During the year 1907 the Philadelphia Dental College, one of the oldest and best known dental colleges in the United States, federated with Temple University. The teaching force has been gradually enlarged until at present the total number of regular instructors is 335. The University conducts classes morning, aiternoon and evening during the academic year and for six weeks of the summer. Temple University is an incorporated, non-sectarian institution kept under a strong moral and religious influence, hut neither professors nor students arc subjected to any denominational tests. The intention of the University management is to conduct the institution so as to stimulate the students to the determination to secure the most useful education by earnest study at the University and at home. The classroom's best help is in arousing the energies and developing the capacity of the students to help themselves. Thus they have all the self-reliance and progressiveness of self-made men and women, with the additional breadth and cultivated symmetry of the collegian. Each student is encouraged to do his liest work tor his own advancement. for the honor of the University and for the good of others. The University is a benevolent enterprise, established solely for the public go xl.
