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.

F ar 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.

Chorus

Words-Joseph H. Dennis

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, 1964, 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 begun in 1927 when authority to confer the Bachelor of Science
degree in Education was granted. 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 first students enrolled in this program began their
studies in September, 1963
