1. GETTYC_160603_008.JPG: College History Gettysburg College, Witness to America's History Anti-slavery theologian Samuel Simon Schmucker founded Pennsylvania College in 1832. Five years later, the institution (which became Gettysburg College in 1921) moved into Pennsylvania Hall on land provided by abolitionist Congressman and College Trustee Thaddeus Stevens, author of the 14th Amendment that guarantees full civil rights to citizens of all states. Today, our founders' commitment to social justice continues through the College's Center for Public Service. The Civil War's decisive battle swept through campus in July 1863; Pennsylvania Hall became a hospital. On Nov. 19, 1863, students, faculty, and townspeople marched to hear Abraham Lincoln hallow the National Cemetery with his Gettysburg Address. An 1851 graduate of the College, David Wills, invited Lincoln to deliver "a few appropriate remarks." Today, first-year students recreate the procession through town to hear an honored guest read the Address, and the College remains known nationally for its Civil War programs. A half-century after the Civil War, Dwight Eisenhower commanded a training camp on the Gettysburg battlefield. After serving as US President from 1953 to 1961, he retired here, became a College trustee, and wrote his memoirs in the College's Admission Office, now known as Eisenhower House. His legacy continues through the College's Eisenhower Institute for public policy. Gettysburg College's commitment to the liberal arts and sciences is reflected in our graduates' continuing contributions: Nobel Prize-winning cancer researcher Michael Bishop '57; Oscar-nominated cinematographer Owen Roizman '58; 9/11 Commission member and counsel to two US presidents Fred Fielding '61; past UNICEF and Peace Corps director Carol Bellamy '63' Newbery Medalist Manic Magee author Jerry Spinelli '63; former NAACP President Bruce Gordon '68; past Lutheran World Relief President Kathryn Wolford '79; Broadway actor Rick Holmes '85; TV and fashion star Carson Kressley '91; Rhodes Scholar Luke Norris '06.

6. GETTYC_160603_078.JPG: The Battle Arrives Pennsylvania Hall "The U.S. Signal Corps, soon after came into the College… This created considerable noise and aroused suspicions." -- Horatio Watkins, Class of 1864 When completed in the fall of 1837, the Edifice, known today as Pennsylvania Hall, became the heart of the campus. It housed all classrooms, meeting rooms, libraries and dormitories, as well as the College's first president and steward. The building comfortably held around 100 students, but by the summer of 1863 very few remained. Attendance dropped with the onset of the Civil War and plummeted further in June 1863 when the Confederate army marched into Pennsylvania, causing 54 students to join a volunteer militia in defense of the state. On the morning of July 1, 1863. students attended their classes, still unaware that thousands of soldiers were converging on the quiet college town. College President Henry Baugher was in the midst of a lecture when the U.S. Signal Corps entered the Edifice to use its cupola as a vantage point. Order collapsed as the first echoes of cannon fire shook the peaceful campus. The Battle of Gettysburg had begun. Alarmed and unprepared, students and faculty scattered, many seeking shelter in town. They fled just in time. Within a few hours, the campus became part of the battlefield. That afternoon "shot and shell fell around rather lively" striking the Edifice and the grounds. By nightfall, the agonized cries of hundreds of wounded and dying men filled the corridors and classrooms of the once peaceful Edifice. (sidebar) Michael Culver, Class of 1863 Michael Culver was on his way to class when fellow student Horatio Watkins called to him from the third floor of the Edifice, asking if Culver heard gunfire. Culver "instantly heard the ominous sounds." Together they went to Seminary Ridge to investigate. "We saw… pickets of both armies exchanging bullets," Culver wrote. Later, from a cabin outside of town, Culver earned "the title of doctor" for his efforts to care for the wounded. Colver and Watkins observed the skirmishing from the cupola of the nearby Theological Seminary. When a shell whizzed by their ears, they decided they had seen enough.

12. GETTYC_160603_152.JPG: "... you know nothing about the lesson anyhow." "We will close...you know nothing about the lesson anyhow." With those words, Pennsylvania College Professor Michael Jacobs reluctantly gave in to the distraction of mounting cannon and musketry fire on the morning of July 1, 1863, and dismissed his mathematics class. The College soon took on a bizarre and unexpected role in the battle. Shortly after the dismissal of the classes, Pennsylvania Hall began an arduous month of service as a hospital for the wounded of both sides. More than 600 Confederate casualties would be quartered inside the building while tables were set up on the porticos where surgeons amputated shattered limbs. The College contributed more than its buildings to the Union cause. On June 17th, sixty-one students left classes and volunteered for service in the hastily formed 26th Pennsylvania Emergency Volunteer Regiment. Nine days later, they fought with the regiment when it unsuccessfully opposed the advance of Confederate forces three miles west of Gettysburg. Relieved of its wounded and hospital duties in mid-August, the College miraculously was able to recover and reopen in time for the fall term. (Photo Caption) The Gettysburg College campus in 1863.

13. GETTYC_160603_185.JPG: For the Union Cause: The Norris-Wachob Alumni House: "Some eighteen wounded of the 1st Corps were carried to the splendid mansion of the Professor [Baugher]. Day and night the family were unremitting in their attention to the wants of the sufferers." -- David Weaver, 90th Pennsylvania When Confederate troops occupied the Gettysburg College campus on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, College President Dr. Baugher and his family found themselves in Confederate territory. Even so, the family risked imprisonment to harbor wounded Union soldiers in their on-campus home, known as the White House. Despite repeated searches, the soldiers went undetected. One of the men in the Baughers' care, Private George Kimball of the 12th Massachusetts, later praised the family, especially the President's daughter Alice. "Though shells were frequently bursting about the grounds, the fragments crashing against the walls of the building and tearing limbs from trees in the yard," Kimball wrote, Alice "paused not in her noble work nor shrank from any danger, however great." Other College faculty members risked similar dangers to help the wounded. From their home on the town square, Professor Martin Stoever and his family fed hungry soldiers out of their backyard and sheltered wounded Union men in their dining room and cellar. Professor Charles Schaeffer cared for Frederick Lehmann, a young student in the College's Preparatory Division who was wounded outside Schaeffer's home on Chambersburg Street. The battle had turned homes into hospitals and civilians into medics. It would take the town and the College months to recover from the vast damage inflicted during the three-day battle. Still, the faculty later asserted that they "would be willing to suffer the same thing over again for the same cause."

15. GETTYC_160603_192.JPG: Michael Jacobs Professor Michael Jacobs provided one of the first eye-witness accounts of the Battle of Gettysburg. Jacobs monitored the battle from his home at 101 West Middle Street, all the while taking copious notes. Within months of the battle, he published Notes on the Rebel Invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania and the Battle of Gettysburg, a book compiled from his observations. The account quickly became a valuable primary source and established Gettysburg College's longstanding tradition of premier Civil War scholarship. The battle cast Jacobs, a professor of mathematics and science, into the unexpected role of reporter and historian.
16. GETTYC_160603_204.JPG: The College Hospital Pennsylvania Hall "No voice of speaker, student, or stranger was heard in our halls... Instead the voice of prayer, the cry of the wounded, and the groans of the dying." -- Dr. Henry L. Baugher, College President, 1850-1868 When Michael Culver, Class of 1863, returned to the Edifice (Pennsylvania Hall) after the Battle of Gettysburg, the building scarcely resembled the one he had left just days earlier. "All rooms, halls and hallways were occupied with the poor deluded sons of the South," he wrote. "The moans, prayers and shrieks of the wounded and dying were heard everywhere." Confederate troops had occupied the campus on the first day of the battle, converting the Edifice into a field hospital. Throughout the course of July, the building would house between 500 and 900 wounded men, many of whom perished within its walls. Like much of Gettysburg, the scene at the College gave testimony to the battle's terrible toll. Soldiers, "maimed in every conceivable way by every kind of weapon and missile," filled every room and hallway. Surgeons, nurses and volunteers hurried from one man to the next, offering what little help and comfort they could. Blood stained the floors and piles of amputated limbs grew. The bodies of the dead filled hastily-made grave on College grounds. By August, the wounded were evacuated and the College began to repair the damage left behind. Although the school's fall term began on schedule, students found horrific reminder of the events that had occurred that summer. Bullets and shell fragments littered the campus and for years to come, construction projects would turn up the remains of soldiers buried on the grounds. (sidebar) Euphemia Goldsborough Among the volunteers who flooded Gettysburg after the battle was Euphemia Goldsborough of Baltimore, Maryland. First stationed at the Edifice, Euphemia went to great, even dangerous, lengths to serve the Southern cause. In one instance, she smuggled a pair of boots into the Edifice for a wounded Confederate, an act strictly forbidden by the federal government. Men who lived to thank Euphemia did so vehemently. One lieutenant wrote that because of her care, his "College Days" were "the green spot of the days of my captivity". At the Edifice, Euphemia supported an unconscious Confederate colonel for an entire night in an effort to keep him upright and prevent suffocation.

22. GETTYC_160603_262.JPG: A Historic Year Gettysburg College in 1863 "There was no one among us who had the smallest comprehension of all that an invasion of our soil could mean." -- Henry Eyster Jacobs, Class of 1862 When the Confederate army advanced into Pennsylvania in June 1863, no person or place went untouched by the events that followed. The invasion made refugees of College janitor John Hopkins and his family. It made soldiers of the 54 students who joined Company A, 26th Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia. On June 26 the Company met with the "bronzed and scarred veterans" of the Confederate army on the outskirts of town. The boys, many of whom had never fired a gun, retreated, and several became prisoners of the enemy. On July 1 the battle arrived. That afternoon, the Union XI Corps retreated from its position north of town. As they swept across the northern grounds of Gettysburg College, the troops brought with them a barrage of gunfire, turning the quiet campus into a deadly battlefield. Pennsylvania Hall later became a Confederate field hospital. As the battle raged on, staggering casualty counts made medics out of every available man and woman, College students and faculty included. Life in Gettysburg had just begun to return to normal when the town was again thrust into the national spotlight. On November 19, 1863, students and faculty joined the thousands who gathered for the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery and witnessed President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. It soon became evident that, while the monumental battle and the famous speech that followed had a profound effect on individual lives, Gettysburg had hosted two events that would redefine the war, the nation, and the history of Gettysburg College.

Wikipedia Description: Gettysburg College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gettysburg College is a private, four-year liberal arts college founded in 1832, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States, adjacent to the famous battlefield. The 225-acre (91 ha) campus is located at 300 North Washington Street in the Northwest corner of the town.

Known as the Bullets, the school hosts 24 NCAA Division III men's and women's teams, with a large number of club, intramural, and recreational programs.

Gettysburg College has about 2,700 students, with roughly equal numbers of men and women. Gettysburg students come from 43 states and 35 countries.

In 2012, U.S. News & World Report ranked it 46th among Best Liberal Arts Colleges. In 2015, the Princeton Review ranked Gettysburg College as the 11th in its list of the Best Schools for Internships, only 1 out of 4 liberal arts schools in the top 25. It's also consistently rated as one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States, due to its close proximity to the Gettysburg Battlefield National Park.

The college is the home of The Gettysburg Review, a literary magazine.

History

Founding and early roots

Gettysburg College was founded in 1832, as a sister institution for the Lutheran Theological Seminary. Both owe their inception to Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican and abolitionist from Gettysburg. The college's original name was Pennsylvania College; it was founded by Samuel Simon Schmucker. In 1839, seven years after Gettysburg College was first founded, Drs. George McClellan (founder of Jefferson Medical College), Samuel George Morton, and others, founded a medical school, Pennsylvania Medical College, which was located in Philadelphia. The school had money troubles within four years, forcing all founding members to leave their posts. After a failed agreement to combine with the Philadelphia College of Medicine in 1858 (closed in 1859, with the faculty begin rolled into Pennsylvania Medical College), the college was forced to close the medical school in 1861. Students from the seceding southern states had withdrawn to return home, leaving it without adequate revenue.

Battle of Gettysburg

In June 1863, southern Pennsylvania was invaded by Confederate forces during the Gettysburg Campaign. Many local militia forces were formed around the area between Chambersburg and Philadelphia to face the oncoming foe.

Among these units was Gettysburg's 26th Pennsylvania Emergency Militia Regiment (PEMR). Composed mostly of students from the College and Seminary, the 26th PEMR was mustered into service on June 22, 1863. Four days later, the students saw combat just north of town, skirmishing with advanced units of Confederate division commander Jubal A. Early. Casualties were light on both sides, but about 100 of the militiamen were captured and paroled.

During the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Hall, or Old Dorm, was used as both a signal corps station and field hospital. Due to the geographic position it held, it was used by both Confederate and Union troops during the battle for signal work and surgery.

On November 19, 1863, College President Henry Louis Baugher gave the benediction at the ceremony opening the National Soldiers’ Cemetery at Gettysburg; speaking after Abraham Lincoln. Classes were canceled at the college as students and faculty to hear the now famous Address, establishing the now annual tradition of the "First Year Walk." Henry Baugher was the president of Gettysburg College from 1850 until his death in 1868.

Relationship with the Eisenhowers

Early in his military career, Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, lived in a house in Gettysburg that was across the street from the college (the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity House until 1955 on N. Washington Street). Both were fond of the town, so they decided to retire to a working farm adjacent to the battlefield after he left the army. It was there that President Eisenhower recuperated from his 1955 heart attack.

While living in Gettysburg, Eisenhower became involved with Gettysburg College. He served on the Gettysburg College Board of Trustees, and he was given an office, which he used when writing his memoirs. Eisenhower’s old office is now named Eisenhower House and is occupied by Gettysburg College’s office of admissions. Eisenhower’s grandson, David, and his granddaughter Susan continue a certain level of family involvement with the institution.

Today the Eisenhower Institute, a nationally recognized center for leadership and public policy based in Gettysburg and Washington, D.C., is formally recognized as a distinctive program of the college.
