Gettysburg College is the oldest Lutheran affiliated college in the
United States. At its founding in 1832 -- a time of social ferment
and advancing democracy -- college leaders emphasized a liberal
arts mission. Pennsylvania College, as it was known until 1919,
numbers among its graduates many clergy, lawyers, and physicians,
as well as politicians, social gospel advocates, scientists,
business executives, and university presidents. Although the
college has grown considerably since World War II, its mission has
remained consistent: devotion to the pursuit of truth and active
citizenship. Through historic photographs, Gettysburg College
documents significant themes in the college's history: an expanding
campus, the emergence and influence of intercollegiate athletic
teams and social fraternities, curricular change, and key national
events that affected the college, none of the latter more important
than the Battle of Gettysburg and two world wars. Always respected
for its academic program, Gettysburg College has in the past
generation diversified its faculty and student body, expanded its
interdisciplinary programs, and gained in reputation as a leading
national liberal arts college.
