Most Significant Event of 1964 DECISION TO BECOME FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE No ' ember 16, 1964, and HISTORY was in the makinf; at York Junior College. On that day the Board of Trustees decided to develop YJC into a four-year college. Mr. Benjamin Root, president of tiie Trustees stated that the date for admitting the first freshman class for study leading to the Baccalaureate was set for September 1968, but several im- portant things would have to be done to make it a reality. In the intervening period, an intensive study of facilities, fac- ulty add itions, admission policies, and new courses must be un- dertaken. There are also the matters of creating a half million dollar endowment, discussion with and guidance by the Penn- sylvania Department of Public Instruction, plus the addition of 25,000 ' olumes to the library. The curricula leading to a four-year degree will be Liberal Arts and Business Administration. At a special Convocation, November 18, 1964 Dr. Miller an- nounces the Trustees ' decision. Students assemble on bleachers to hear the big news. 19
