Moyer Ruth M. Wilmarth ALMA MATER Far above the river winding Midst the mountains grand, Stands our College, dear to students Far throughout the land. Ever seaward Susquehanna Never resting flows; Ever upward, striving, climbing Onward Bloomsburg goes. Chorus Far and wide though we may wander, Still our hearts are true; To our hilltop Alma Mater We our pledge renew. Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg College Up on College Hill; Years to come shall find us ever True to Bloomsburg still. Words-Joseph H. Dennis Air-"Annie Lyle" History of Bloomsburg State College Academy, Literary Institute, State Normal School, State Teachers College, and State College - such has been the development of the Bloomsburg State College since its inception as an Academy in 1839. A charter providing for the Bloomsburg Literary Institute was drawn up in 1856. The school was recognized as a State Normal School on February 19, 1869, but remained a private institution until May 22, 1916 when it was purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The transition from Normal School to State Teachers College was completed in 1927 when permission was granted to offer a four year course of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Education. By an Act of the General Assembly in January, 1960, the fourteen State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania became State Colleges. Authorization to offer courses leading to the Master of Education degree was given by the State Council of Education in the same year. In the Spring of 1962, the College was granted approval by the State Council of Education to offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in the Natural Sciences, the Social Sciences, and the Humanities, beginning September, 1962. The Academic Costume The academic costumes worn by members of the faculty have a special significance.
