Gettysburg College 175th Anniversary
I just thought it would be interesting to point out that my alma mater, Gettysburg College, was incorporated on this day 175 years ago. It was originally founded as Pennsylvania College by Samuel Simon Schmucker. During the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1863, the Old Dorm building, now referred to as Penn Hall, was used as a field hospital for soldiers. The college is rich in history and strong in academics. I feel proud to have been associated with such a wonderful institution. I can hardly believe it has been nearly six years since I graduated from there. It seems like a lifetime ago.
