Far and wide though we may wander, Still our hearts are true; To our hilltop Alma Mater We our pledge renew. Ever seaward Susquehanna Never resting flows; Ever upward, striving, climbing Onward Bloomsburg goes. Chorus 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 curriculum 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. The Master of Education degree is being awarded at this convocation for the first time in the history of the college. 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 first students enrolled in this program will begin their studies in September, 1963. The Academic Costume The academic costumes worn by members of the faculty have a special significance. The inside collar of the hood indicates the colors of the college or university which awarded the degree. The color of the outside rim of the hood symbolizes one of the following departments of learning: Arts, Letters, Humanities - White Music - Pink Business - Drab Philosophy - Blue Economics - Copper Physical Education - Sage Green Education - Light Blue Science - Gold Yell ow Fine Arts - Brown Social Science - Citron Library Science - Lemon Theology or Divinity - Scarlet
