In September 1968, York became Pennsylvania ' s newest four-year college. Although our new name and status may suggest that we are In our Infancy, we have. In reality a long heritage as an educational Institution. Ours Is a legacy which had its beginning almost two centuries ago. Our ancestral in- stitutions, York County Academy founded In 1787 and York Collegiate Institute founded in 1873, laid the groundwork for the establishment of York Junior College In 1941, with a modestenrollment of forty-two students. In 1961, York Junior College moved to its present site and after seven years ob- tained its present four-year status and an enrollment of nearly two thousand. YJC 1941 YCP 1968

A NEW EXPERIENCE . . . ' Freshman Parents are greeted by Dr. Anderson during Parents ' Weekend. Through new construction, the college con- tinues to grow. This year proved to be a new experience not only for the incom- ing Freshman class but also for the sophomores, faculty and administra- tion. Beanies and signs, dorm life, Parents ' Weekend, and registration (Man ' s inhumanity to man) were just a few of the new experiences which greeted the first class of York Col- lege. New courses being organized and staffed, as well as an increased number of students added to the burdens of the faculty and adminis- tration. A new college, a new bur- den, a new experience are offered to York College and its students. i ill York ' s first filmstars acted (?) in several Coke commercials.
