A sa Packee, of Mauch Chunk, during the year 1865, appropriated the sum of $500,000, to which he added one hundred and fifteen acres of land in South Bethlehem, to establish an educational institution in the Lehigh Valley. On this foundation rose The Lehigh Univeesity, incorporated by the Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1866. In addition to these gifts, made during his lifetime, Judge Packer by his last will secured to the University an endowment of $1,500,000, and to the University Library one of $500,000. DESIGN. The original object of Judge Packer was to afford the young men of the Lehigh Valley a complete education, technical, literary, and scientific, for those professions represented in the development of the peculiar resources of the surrounding region. In furtherance of this purpose instruction is liberally provided in Civil, Mechanical, Mining, and Electrical Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemistry, and in all needful collateral studies. A thoroughly equipped School of General Literature was also established Including the Classical and Latin-S cientific courses. SITE. South Bethlehem is situated at the junction of the Lehigh Valley, the New Jersey Central, and the Reading (N orth Pennsylvania) Railroads, and the University buildings are about a halfmile from the station. New York is eighty-seven and Philadelphia fifty-seven miles distant. The situation of the institution is healthful and beautiful.
