Crum Creek, flowing through a wooded gorge of great natural
beauty, forms the western boundary of the College property,
which comprises over two hundred acres.

Students' Societies and Publications
Three literary societies are maintained by the students: the
Delphic and the Eunomian by the young men, the Somerville by the
young women. Regular meetings are held for literary exercises,
which afford opportunity to acquire skill in parliamentary practice and in debate.
They are regarded as valuable auxiliaries in
the work of the College. Each society has, under the management of its own members, but accessible to all students, a
library and a reading room containing periodicals and daily
papers.
The total number of books in these libraries is over
three thousand.
The Joseph Leidy Scientific Society has for its object to keep
touch with the results of modern investigation in the four
branches of Physical Science and in Engineering. At its meetings,
