Scope Note: 

 

This collection contains many, though not all, of the catalogs published by Moravian College and its precursors, Moravian College and Theological Seminary (1858-1954) and Moravian Seminary and College for Women (1913-1954).  The latter’s predecessors – Moravian Female Seminary and, beginning in 1863, Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies – are also represented.  It should be noted that the constituent components of Moravian College and Theological Seminary and Moravian Seminary and College for Women often published separate catalogs, a practice that continued in part after their merger.  To this day, Moravian College issues both a collegiate and a theological catalog.  The catalogs in this collection articulate the mission of their institutions, as well as the specific opportunities available to students, notably in the form of courses.  These catalogs are also authoritative enunciations of the standards, regulations, and charges that students have had to satisfy in order to matriculate and graduate – from the rule that “the correspondence of the students must all pass through the hands of the Principal or his wife” (1855-1856) to the provision that “exceptionally well-qualified high school juniors may apply for admission to Moravian at the end of the junior year” (2002-2004).  The names of students, faculty, administrators, and trustees are also found in these catalogs, though graduates of Moravian College’s collegiate and theological programs ceased to be listed beginning with the catalogs of 1972-1973 and 1987-1989 respectively.  For these reasons, the Catalog Collection is an essential tool in understanding the evolving character of Moravian College and its predecessors over the course of a century and a half.
