Dickinson College

East College 1860-1880


Faculty Changes

Under President McCauley, Dickinson College is in the middle of an enrollment slump. In 1874 after a controversial faculty “reconstruction,” as Sellers calls it, students seem to be repelled from the college. The Board of Trustees even considers waiving entrance exams for the freshman and sophomore classes.

Economics

It cost $15 to attend the fall term at Dickinson College in 1876 and $25 to attend the spring and winter terms.
