York College of Pennsylvania Recognized for Passing Milestone

The York (PA) Daily Record published a brief historical sketch, "First freshman class seeking four-year degrees entered York College of Pa. 50 years ago," on August 8, 2018.  The article coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of baccalaureate programs at the institution and highlights the impact on the community.

York College of Pennsylvania traces its roots to the York County Academy founded in 1787 and York Collegiate Institute founded in 1870.  The name of York Junior College was adopted in 1941 and then changed to York College of Pennsylvania in 1968.

The webpage of the college Archives and Special Collections offers links to many historical photographs, college catalogs from 1856 to the present, yearbooks from 1901-2005, and other interesting resources.
