Edward W. Biddle Lectures

Honor Edward W. Biddle lectured at the school entitled, “Carlisle Old and New” which presented places of interest in the town as they were in “old” Carlisle, and contrasted them to how they looked in 1907. He told an interesting history of the town itself and important events/people involved with the town. In Dickinson College, he took particular interest in Denny Hall because Washington stood at its original steps reviewing the troops in the Whiskey Rebellion. This lecture was a part of the Civic Club’s Entertainment Courses lecture series. Biddle, a member of the Class of 1870, also served on the Board of Trustees.
