Ursinus College In choosing an appropriate name for the College its founders selected the Latinized name of a German scholar and churchman of the Reformation who had been baptized Zacharias Baer. He was born in Breslau, Germany, in 1534. In 1561 he was appointed head of the theological department of the University of Heidelberg and while there he became the principal author of the Heidelberg Cate-chism. The religious and moral principles of Ursinus College are in essential harmony with those of the man whose distinguished name the College bears. Educational work on what is now the College campus dates back to a primitive schoolhouse built about two centuries ago. It was razed in 1832 when Todd's School was built. This in turn gave way to Freeland Seminary, a private secondary school for young men which was founded in 1848. Three years later Pennsylvania Female College was founded, one of the earliest collegiate institu-tions for women, which was in operation until the late 1870's. Dur-ing the decade of their co-existence Ursinus and Pennsylvania Fe-male College had interlocking faculties and directorates. Ursinus College was founded by a group of members of the German Re-formed Church in 1869. The buildings of Freeland Seminary were bought, and instruction was begun on September 6, 1870. Women were admitted to the College in 1881. 1'he shield-mounted seal in the college colors, red, old gold and bl ack, reproduced on the cover of this fo lder is a gift to the Coll ege from the class of 1913 and was designed and created by the late Dr. Ellwood S. Paisley, a meml.ier of tha t Cl ass. URSINUS COLLEGE FOUNDED 1869 FOUNDERS 1 DAY CONVOCATION November 6, 1983 2:30 P.M.

Wack HYMN-Our God, Our Help in Ages Past Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. HYMN-Now 'I1hank We All Our God Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream, Dies at the opening day. Our God, our help in ages past. Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last. And our eternal home. Now thank we all our God, With heart, and hands, and voices, Who wondrnus things hath done, In whom His world rejoices; Who from our mother's arms, Hath blest us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today. 0 may this bounteous God, Through al.J our life :he near us, With ever joyful hearts, ·And •blessed peace to cheer us; To keep us in His grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills, In this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God, The Father, now he given, The Son, and Him who reigns, With them in highest heaven, The One Eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall he evermore. Amen. Dedication November 6, 1983 Zacharias Ursinus '' ... not to i:~:~~~~~~~ honor the man, rather to share in his spirit." "In executing the monument to Zacharias Ursinus, I felt it was most important that the sculpture be built on the same principles which were embraced by Ursinus and are embodied in his work. As with the work of Ursinus, I have chosen a posture which is straightforward and without heroic gesture. A good deal of attention has been paid to detail and nuance while striving to remain true to the simple form of the whole. Structured on the cross and interlocking circles, symbolic of God, the sculpture is an interplay of ordered and free-flowing forms, of intellect and emotion, of literal and symbolic, solidly anchored and upwardly soaring." The idea is not to honor the man, rather to share in his spirit." - MICHAEL B. PRICE The Artist: Michael B. Price is associate professor of art and chairman of that department at Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota. He holds the MFA degree from Tulane University and earned the MA and AB in Mathematics at the University of Illinois. He has held several one-man shows in galleries in New York City and exhibited in this country and South America. Another of Mr. Price's commissioned works, "John and Lydia Morris", can be seen at Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia. The work was commissioned by Dr. and Mrs. Philip I. Berman of Allentown. Dr. Berman is chairman of Hess's Department Stores, headquartered in Allentown, and of the Pennsylvania Public Television Network Commission. The Berman's many gifts for and to Ursinus College include: Upheaval II, The Bearkeeper, and Philadelphia Cakewalk '83.
