PHILADELPHIA OPTICAL COLLEGE
Was organized In 1889 and chartered
under the laws Of Pennsylvania In lS92.
IL proved success from the start, and
soon advanced to q leading place among
the Optical Colleges OF the United States.
Its diplomas are recognized all over the
country as the most positive evidence OF
the scientific skill Of the graduate,
because they are awarded only after the
most searching examination 70 those
who prove themselves entitled 10 the
same.
Teaching by mail IL modern idea.
DR.. c. II. Brown, Professor In charge OF
the Philadelphia Optical College, WAS the
originator OF the Correspondence Method
OF Instruction a. applied to Optics, and
eight years experience has demonstrated
Il to be entirely practical. A few days
or even q few weeks attendance at an
Optical College or with an itinersnt
teacher, presents the subject so glibly
and rapidly that 10 many cases nothing
remains but confused mass OF mixed
up facts, that have made but q Temporal
~ and indistinct impression upon the
students memory, and finally proves OF
but little advantage.
In contrast with this the advantages OF
our Correspondence Department are pre-
eminent. Here the student acquires all
his knowledge by his own efforts. Dir
ficult subjects are re-read and re-studied
until their truths become clear, and are
by the same means permanently fixed In
the memory never to be forgotten. The
great historian Gibbon says every indi-
vidual has two educations; one he re-
ceives from others, and the other, the
more important, which he gives TO him.
SELF" Hence the education the self
made optician receives through our Cor
respondence System Is to be preferred as
superior to any other.
DR.. Samuel Richards Of South Paris
showed considerable foresight In the APP
great system OF instruction, rs he was
the first Matriculate In our Correspond
ence Department In 1890. and the first
graduate, since when nearly q thousand
men from all parts of the country have
followed his footsteps. The student IL
conducted over the whole field OF study
and Is required to pass q most rigorous
examination before he can receive his
diploma, and the high standard Of excel
lence Of our College. carries the infec-
ton Of confidence and reliability into our
Correspondence Department, aud hence
4 diploma Of the Philadelphia Optical
College means great deal.
DR.. Richards received first the Master
Opticians Diploms, and three years
later, on account OF his skill and expert
ence, the degree OF Doctor Of Refrsction
was conferred on him. The estimation
In which he Is held by the College Is
shown by his selection for the Presiden-
cy Of the Alumni Association.
