Ursinus College is a private liberal arts college in Collegeville, Pennsylvania.[8] It was founded in 1869 and occupies a 170-acre (0.69 km2) campus.[8] Ursinus College's forerunner was the Freeland Seminary founded in 1848.[9] Its $127 million endowment supports about 1,500 students.[8][9] Students choose from 60 courses of study.[8]

History

19th century

In 1867, members of the German Reformed Church began plans to establish a college where "young men could be liberally educated under the benign influence of Christianity."[citation needed] The founders hoped to establish an alternative to the seminary at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania (the present-day Lancaster Theological Seminary), a school they believed was increasingly heretical to traditional Reformed faith.[10]: 1–2 

Two years later, the college was granted a charter by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to begin operations on the grounds of Todd's School (founded 1832) and the adjacent Freeland Seminary (founded 1848).[10]: 1 [11] John Bomberger, served as the college's first president from 1869 until his death in 1890.[12][13][11] Bomberger proposed naming the college after Zacharias Ursinus, a 16th-century German theologian and an important figure in the Protestant Reformation.[11][10]: 9 [14][15]

In 1870, instruction began at the college in September;[10]: 13  on October 4, the Zwinglian Literary Society was founded.[10]: 35–36  For many years the annual opening meetings of "Zwing" and its rival society, Schaff, were the major events of the student year.[10]: 35–36 

Women were first admitted in 1881,[11] as a direct consequence of the closing of the Pennsylvania Female College in 1880.[10]: 32  A separate literary society for women, The Olevian, was formed in 1885.[10]: 36 

The town of Freeland was officially incorporated as the Borough of Collegeville in 1896. The Reading Railroad had named it that in 1869 — because of the Pennsylvania Female College; and not, as many believe, because of the then brand new Ursinus.[10]: 8  However, in years since, the "college" in Collegeville has come to mean Ursinus.

The Ruby, Ursinus' yearbook, was first published by the Class of 1897. The name was a tribute to Professor Samuel Vernon Ruby,[10]: 16  who collapsed as he was entering Bomberger Hall in 1896 and died in its chapel, surrounded by students and teachers who had gathered there for morning prayers.[10]: 70 [non-primary source needed]

20th Century

In 1921, the first aerial photograph of Ursinus was taken, by future college president D. L. Helfferich, and was published in the 1921 Ruby.[10]: 71 

J. D. Salinger enrolled at Ursinus for the 1938 fall semester and spent one semester there before leaving.[16][17]

"In 1938, Jerome D. Salinger, described as gallant and charming, came from New York City and lived in Ursinus’s Curtis Hall. He wrote a column in the student newspaper called “The Skipped Diploma,” but did not return for spring semester. The author of The Catcher in the Rye and other works later spoke fondly of Ursinus."[18]

Berman Museum of Art

At the start of the US's involvement in World War II, Ursinus' male enrollment decreased from 535 to 350 students. During the war, Ursinus made a concerted effort to bring in military students from across the country, even acquiring a Naval V-12 unit.[10]: 149–150  It also accepted 3 students between 1939 and 1940 who were exiled from Austria and Germany because of the war.[10]: 149 

In 1988, the F.W. Olin Foundation awarded a $5.37 million grant to Ursinus to construct a humanities building.[19]

The Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art opened on campus in 1989.[20]

Phi Beta Kappa invited Ursinus into its ranks in 1992.[21][22] At the time, only 242 of the nation's 3,500 colleges and universities had gained acceptance into the group.[22]

Ursinus joined the Centennial Conference at its inception in 1993, a regional athletic conference, consisting of Swarthmore College, Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Dickinson College, Gettysburg College, Johns Hopkins University, Franklin & Marshall College and others.[citation needed]

In 1995, the college appointed John Strassburger as its 12th president, the first president from outside the Ursinus alumni group. Under President Strassburger, Ursinus initiated the Summer Fellows program in which selected students worked on individualized research projects with faculty advisors. During President Strassburger's tenure as president, Ursinus became affiliated with numerous prestigious groups such as the Annapolis Group, the Watson Foundation, the Kemper Scholars group and Project Pericles.[18]

21st Century

Ursinus College was profiled in New York Times education editor Loren Pope's popular guidebook, Colleges That Change Lives in 2006.[23][24]

In 2006, the college attempted to capitalize on J. D. Salinger's brief time there by establishing a "J. D. Salinger Scholarship" which would allow a freshman to study creative writing and live in Salinger's dormitory room for a year.[17] However, the reclusive author's representatives wrote to the college within a week to ask that his name be removed.[17] The college conceded and named it simply the College Creative Writing Award[25] though it is known colloquially as the "Not the J.D. Salinger Scholarship.[17]

Following the death of President Strassburger in 2010, long-time Trustee John E. F. (“Jef”) Corson was appointed Interim President to serve until such time that President Strassburger’s successor could be named.

In 2011, Ursinus was designated as a Top Ten Up and Coming College by U.S. News & World Report.

Bobby Fong, a graduate of Harvard and UCLA and former president of Butler University, began his tenure as the 13th president of Ursinus on July 1, 2011.[26][27] Fong died suddenly of natural causes at his home in Collegeville in 2014.[28] Terry Winegar, the Dean and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, was appointed Interim President.[29]

Brock Blomberg, Dean of the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance at Claremont McKenna College, was named 17th president of Ursinus in 2015.[30] Blomberg announced that he planned to depart Ursinus in September 2021 for the California Institute of Integral Studies.[31]

Robyn Hannigan, former Provost of Clarkson University and patented inventor in the field of medical technology,[32] was named the 19th President of Ursinus College in 2022.[33] Hannigan began her duties on July 1, 2022.

Academics

Students can choose from 60 courses of study.[8] Popular majors at the college are biology, English, psychology, international relations, business and economics, and health and exercise physiology.[15]

Common Intellectual Experience

The Common Intellectual Experience (CIE) is Ursinus' unique seminar course required of all first-year students and is a requisite for the bachelor's degree.[8] It was established in 1999.[34] It is composed of two semester-long seminar courses that help students to figure out their degree path and their path after college.[35][36] Students read from a range of philosophers and academic thinkers, and discuss them with their classmates.[34][8]

In September 2012, Ursinus and Columbia University were awarded a joint grant from the Mellon Foundation to work together on the core of their seminar courses – Ursinus College's CIE, and Columbia University's Core Curriculum. The $300,000 grant allowed Ursinus faculty with prior experience teaching CIE classes to work with, and mentor, post-doctoral students at Columbia, created post-doctoral fellowship program at Ursinus, and also supported campus visits and guest lectures from Columbia faculty who have expertise in the subject matter of CIE.[37]

Student life

While the first students enrolled at Ursinus were almost exclusively Pennsylvanians,[citation needed] today the school's 1,500 students come from 35 states and 12 countries.[15] 22% are students of color and 2% are international students.[14] The school ranges from a 11:1 to a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio.[15][38]

Greek life

The Ursinus College Greek community consists 12 societies – 5 sororities, 4 fraternities, and 3 gender-inclusive societies.[39] The Ursinus College Inter-Greek Council serves as the elected governing body of all social Greek organizations.[40]

Sororities (women-only)

Fraternities (men-only)

Gender inclusive societies

Clubs and organizations

The Leadership Development and Student Activities Office provides the student body with leadership opportunities through its more than 100 student clubs and organizations. Ursinus College clubs and organizations include student government, community service, academic honor societies, political clubs and intramural sports.[53] Their student-run newspaper is called, The Grizzly – the name taken from the Latin root of Zacharias Ursinus' surname (ursus translating as 'bear'). Ursinus also publishes The Lantern, one of the oldest, continuously produced student literary journals.[54]

Athletics

As of 2019, 40% of Ursinus students competed on one of its athletic teams.[8] Ursinus is a member of the Centennial Conference, founded in 1993, and which now contains eleven private colleges in the mid-Atlantic region, including Bryn Mawr, McDaniel, Johns Hopkins, Dickinson, Haverford, Franklin and Marshall, Swarthmore, Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, and Washington.[55]

In the immediate years following its founding, there were no organized athletics at Ursinus College. Baseball matches held against neighboring towns, hiking along the Perkiomen Creek and in the nearby area that is now Valley Forge National Historical Park, and skating, bathing and boating in the Perkiomen were popular pastimes for students. In fact, students used to be able to rent canoes and fishing rods from the same location where they can now[when?] rent bikes. Students then organized a tennis club in 1888, and intercollegiate baseball began with play against Swarthmore College, Haverford College, and Muhlenberg College between 1886 and 1890.[11] The college's first football team was also fielded in 1890 but did not play against another team until 1893 in which they lost 62–0 against Pennsylvania Military College.[11] A field house with shower and locker facilities was first built in 1909, and a "field cage" with facilities for indoor basketball practice was built behind the field house in 1910.[citation needed]

The college was well known for many years for its Patterson Field endzone, in which a large sycamore tree grew undisturbed from the 1920s.[11] Ripley's Believe it or Not featured the famous tree for being the only one on an active field of athletic play. A new sycamore, growing since 1984 from a seedling taken from the old tree, stood nearby until a turf field project required its removal in 2011.[56]

In 1974, the NCAA Award of Valor was presented to the 1973 basketball team. Every member of the team had entered a burning building, with their combined efforts leading to the rescue of 14 persons.[57] In the 2003–2004 season, senior shooting guard Dennis Stanton led all NCAA Men's Basketball scorers, averaging 32.6 points per game.[58]

The Ursinus women's field hockey team has historically been very successful. During the tenure of Eleanor Frost Snell as coach of women's athletics from 1931, the "Snell's Belles" had many winning seasons.[11] More recently they were the 2006 National Champion for NCAA Division III. The team earned spots in the national championship game three times before, between 1975 and 1977, as a Division I program, and the United States Field Hockey Hall of Fame's permanent home is at the college.

Ursinus' women's lacrosse team were the 1986, 1989, and 1990 NCAA Division III Women's lacrosse champions and the 1985, 1987, and 1991 runners-up.[citation needed]

In November 2019, Ursinus College canceled their Women’s and Men’s swim teams after finding that team members violated the college’s anti-hazing policy and student code of conduct. As an additional consequence, Ursinus College placed Men’s and Women’s Swim Team Head Coach Mark Feinberg on probation.[59]

In 2020, the NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions found that a former Ursinus College Vice President and Dean of Enrollment Management improperly awarded financial aid to prospective students based on their participation in athletics and input from coaches.[60] The committee found that approximately $335,300 in financial aid packages was improperly awarded to student-athletes over 17 sports. As a disciplinary measure, the committee publicly reprimanded Ursinus College and placed them on probation while also requiring them to attend the 2020 and 2021 NCAA Regional Rules Seminars. Additionally, Ursinus College self-imposed numerous penalties upon themselves.
