Courses of Study.
The special work of the Dickinson
Collegiate Preparatory School is to pse-
pare young men and young women for
college. Besides the special work of
preparing students for college a gem
eral academic education is given to
those who cannot take regular course.
There are three courses, arranged
with reference to fitting students for
college, as follows:

history Of the Dickinson Collegiate

other. The students in the preparatory

and benefits of the college. The presi-

Some Historical Data.

educational tendencies which early
manifested themselves in all American
colonial history. Dickinson College was
the direct fruition of this movement
which had already resulted in the cs-
tablishment of eleven institutions of
higher learning in the colonies, one of
which had for ii quarter of century
existed in Philadelphia. The growth
OF the commonwealth and the dcvel-
opment of the country at the close Of
the revolutionary war further crystal
lized public sentiment into recognition
OF the demand for better educational
facilities at some more westerly point.
Many of the leading men of the COM
monwealth contributed literally to the
fund for the initiation of this import
ant movement, and. in 1888. "A charter

Literary Societies.
The Gamma Epsilon Literary society
and the Reed Literary society, while
under the general control and super
vision of the faculty, are entirely man
aged by the students. Effective and
valuable work is done by their men,
bers who are interested in further de-
veloping the work of the organizations.
The Reed society has been formed dur

lines. The preliminary training secured
in these societies is a great aid in the
work afterward to be done in the COL

which of the many scholar
ships offered would be most desirable
for their needs. Most of the contestants
near the top Of the list are working
for some definite scholarship, but If
they do not get this particular one there
are plenty Of others for them to fall
back upon. Some are all ready to step
into one of the universities should they
be fortunate enough to secure one Of
these as a reward, while others are not
sufficiently advanced in their studies to
enable them to enter one of these high
er institutions of learning for several
years, and SO it is quite possible that
the contestant who finishes at the very
top of the list will choose scholarship
in one Of the preparatory schools. In
fact, it is also possible that all of these
scholarships will go first, yet this is
hardly probable as it is known that
several of those who are now leading
contestants have set their hearts on
university scholarship.
In order that the young people may
be aided in making a choice of the
scholarships offered. The Tribune will
endeavor to give from time to time de-
tailed descriptions of the advantages of
each institution it's location, the
courses of study, requirements to enter,
and all other information of interest to
present contestants or those who may
be considering taking up the work. APP
pended to each description is given in
detail just what The Tribunes schol-
arship includes, SO that there can be
no possible misunderstanding.

in mind. however, that it is not in the
college that The Tribune offers schol-
arship. but in the preparatory school,
which, while under the government Of
the college, is still entirely separate.
There may be some contestants who
think that the contest is now so far
advanced that it would be useless to
enter. We wish to call attention to just
one fact-last year the contestant who
finished at the top of the list did not
enter until the contest was within
twelve weeks of it's end (the present
contest has still nearly eighteen weeks
to run), and eight weeks from the close
had but fifty points. while the young
man who then headed the list had 44l.
This would indicate that there was still
good opportunity to secure valuable
scholarship, even for those who have
not scored a point, particularly when it
is considered that this year there are
thirty-three scholarships offered when
