GENERAL INFORMATION
THE COLLEGE
Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution. It is co-educa- tional and provides facilities for both day and boarding students. The four year program offers courses of study leading to Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. In addition, certain two- year terminal programs are available.
LOCATION
The college is located near the center of the city of Williams- port, Pennsylvania, on a slight eminence, which causes the institu- tion to be affectionately referred to as "The College upon the Hill- top." Its stately elms, maples, and numerous shrubs form an attrac- tive setting for the college buildings.
Williamsport itself is known as "The Queen City of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River," and is on the famed Susque- hanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York, and Washington, D. C. It is famed for its picturesque scenery, its beautiful homes, and the culture and kindness of its people. The Pennsylvania rail- road, with its fast trains, and the Lakes-to-Sea and the Greyhound busses put it within two hours of Harrisburg, four and a half hours of Philadelphia, and six hours of Pittsburgh and New York. Cap- ital, TWA, and Allegheny Airlines place the time at forty minutes to Harrisburg, an hour and ten minutes to Philadelphia, one hour and fifteen minutes to New York, and about three hours to Boston. Highway routes 14, 15, and 220 pass through the city.
HISTORY
Lycoming College has a long and varied history of service in the educational field. Founded in 1812, it was known for a period of thirty-six years as Williamsport Academy. In 1848 a group of men
15
of Williamsport, under the leadership of Reverend Benjamin H. Crever, hearing that the Academy was about to be discontinued, proposed to accept the school and conduct it as a Methodist educa- tional institution. Their offer was accepted, and completely reor- ganized with a new president and faculty, it opened September, 1848, as Dickinson Seminary, under the patronage of the old Balti- more Conference. It was acquired in 1869 and is still owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Church, and is regularly chartered under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. It is a non-profit institution. All of its earnings as well as the generous gifts of its friends have been spent for maintenance and improvements.
During a large part of its history, its curriculum covered the work now included in a high school course and at the same time included about two years of college work. By its original charter it was empowered to grant degrees, which authority was for a time exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself to the college prepara- tory field and continued in that field until 1929. From that date until June, 1947, it operated as a preparatory school and junior college.
The increased college attendance following the war and trends in higher education in recent years clearly indicated a need for more four year colleges. After giving the matter careful consideration, the Board of Directors, at a special meeting January, 1947, author- ized and set in motion plans to adopt a four year college program. The college preparatory department was discontinued June, 1948. In the same year, after approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the charter was amended to include the power to grant Baccalaureate Degrees. The name of the institution was then officially changed to Lycoming College. Lycoming is an Indian name closely associated with this region from early colonial days.
AIM
It is the aim of Lycoming College to provide to qualified stu- dents education of such a nature as to supply the background for a more intelligent understanding and appreciation of the economic, political, historical, social, scientific, esthetic, and religious aspects

of life. In addition to the broad, general education, courses pre- paratory to specialization in law, medicine, dentistry, engineering, and business, or courses preparatory to graduate work in some field of concentration are offered. Terminal education is available in Art, Medical Technology, Medical Secretarial, Music, and Secre- tarial Science.
BUILDINGS
OLD MAIN. The Main Building is an imposing structure of brick occupying the central part of the campus. In this building are administrative and faculty offices, class rooms, men's day room, lounge, and dormitories for men.
RICH HALL. Dedicated October 15, 1948, Lycoming's modern, brick, women's dormitory is of Georgian Colonial style and fireproof in construction. This beautiful building houses 120 young women. Each suite of two rooms has private bath facilities which are shared by four students. Lounges are conveniently located for entertain- ing guests and for small student meetings. Also located in the building are the Infirmary and nurse's quarters, game rooms, and the women's day room. The building has been completely furnished with new and attractive furnishings.
EVELAND HALL. Eveland Hall is also of red pressed brick, and is a modern fire-proof building. The basement houses the heating plant. A modern chemistry laboratory and class rooms occupy the first floor. The second and third floors contain dormi- tories.
FRANKLIN STREET HALL. A large private home has been converted into dormitory and living quarters, arranged to accom- modate approximately twenty men. It is currently occupied by the Iota Beta Zeta chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
CLARKE MEMORIAL. This building was made possible by the bequest of Miss Martha B. Clarke, of the class of 1862, as a memorial to her brothers and herself. It is designed in colonial style, is of fireproof construction, and houses the chapel and the dining hall. The chapel which seats six hundred, has excellent acoustics, provides facilities for devotional services, assemblies, dramatics, concerts, and lectures.
17
The dining hall, on the first floor, is arranged with separate entrances and with coat rooms and wash rooms for men and women. It opens on a terrace overlooking the campus and athletic field. Effort has been made to produce a comfortable, home-like room. Either table service or cafeteria service is possible.
The erection of this building fits into the plan of an attractive quadrangle. On the north the open campus extends to Washington Boulevard.
JOHN W. LONG LIBRARY. The John W. Long Library was dedicated and formally opened October 20, 1961. Constructed of brick in Georgian Colonial style, this imposing building is located on the east side of the campus directly across the athletic field from Rich Hall. The interior is so designed that floor space is adaptable to various modifications in arrangement. The library has space for 100,000 volumes and seats 250 students. It is excellently equipped throughout and is illuminated by lights of the newest design which are located in ceiling panels.
The large reading room, periodical and reference rooms, offices, typing room, and beautifully furnished recreational reading room are located on the first floor. On the ground floor is a faculty reading room. Two audio-visual rooms, one to accommodate sev- enty-five students and one for twenty students, with a film projec- tion booth and storage room between, are located on the second floor. They are equipped with film projectors for showing films, filmstrips, slides, and other visual material. Two rooms designed for listening to records and equipped with turntables for group and individual listening are also on the second floor. The rare book and historical data room, seminar rooms, and individual study and typing rooms occupy one wing of this floor.
There are now more than 29,000 volumes in the library, and this number is being augmented rapidly. An excellent list of reference works has been provided. A group of books for general reading has also been included in order to stimulate student interest in books not directly related to specific courses.
The library currently subscribes to 260 periodicals which cover all subject fields offered by the college; ten newspapers, including
18
three in foreign languages ; and seven periodical indexing and bibliographical services.
There are 310 albums of literary, foreign language, dictation, social science, and musical recordings. This record collection is in the library for the use of various departments and the students.
A full-time professionally trained librarian, three assistant librarians, and a secretary to the librarian are in charge of the library. Student assistants are employed as needed. This staff is available to help in locating reference material and in preparing bibliographies.
BRADLEY HALL. Bradley Hall, a four story building, is con- structed of red brick, and contains the Dramatic Studio, the Lundy Radio Broadcasting Studio, the Business Administration offices and classrooms, and one floor of men's dormitories.
MEMORIAL HALL. Memorial Hall was dedicated on Novem- ber 1, 1947. It is a three-story building and has floor space of 8,000 square feet. It contains class rooms, departmental offices, and the biology and physics laboratories. This building, erected through the cooperation of the college and the Federal Works Agency, is attractively faced vrith red brick.
FINE ARTS. The Fine Arts building is located at the northern end of the campus. Three large studios and several smaller prac- tice rooms on the first floor are occupied by the Music Department. The Art Department is located on the second floor and has the advantage of northern lighting. There also are private studios and conference rooms for members of the faculty. The building is well equipped and attractively furnished throughout.
THE GYMNASIUM. Lycoming is fortunate in having a splendid modern gymnasium, which is a popular center of activities. The building is 110 feet by 88 feet, beautifully designed and of semi- fireproof construction.
The basement includes a modern swimming pool 20 by 60 feet, equipped with a sterilization and filtration plant.
19
There are also two bowling alleys of latest design, and separate rooms and showers for both home and visiting teams. Provision is made for private dressing rooms and shower rooms for women.
The gymnasium floor proper is 90 by 65 feet with a stage at the easterly end. The main floor can readily be converted into an audi- torium suitable for recitals or more pretentious productions.
ATHLETIC FIELD. Built partially on the site of the old athletic field, the new field runs north and south, beginning directly behind the gymnasium and dining hall, and extending to the terrace just off Washington Boulevard on the north. Ample room is pro- vided for tennis courts and football field and other intramural sports with bleachers which accommodate 1,000 people.
THE PRESIDENT'S HOME. The architectural style of the President's Home harmonizes with the Fine Arts building and with it forms an imposing unit -at the northwest corner of the campus.
AUDIO-VISUAL SERVICES
Special audio-visual equipment includes a 16 mm. sound moving picture projector, a silent projector, one two-by-two slide projector, one combination two-by-two slide and 35 mm. filmstrip projector, a radio, a tape recorder, a wire recorder, two public address systems, a micro-film reader, a micro-card reader, and four turntables for rec- ords. Connected with two turntables are ear-phones which makes it possible for several students to listen to different records at the same time without disturbing one another.
A collection of films, filmstrips, micro films, micro cards, and records is being built which is being used in connection with classes, special groups on the campus, and for the pleasure and relaxation of students. One-half of the second floor of the new John W. Long Library is equipped to carry on the audio-visual program.
Through the generosity of the Lundy Construction Company, a Radio Studio has been installed on the ground floor of Bradley Hall where students may be trained in radio speech, announcing, and script writing. The equipment is linked with the local radio station, WRAK, an NBC affiliate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
In considering the expenses of college, it is well to bear in mind that no student actually pays the full cost of his education. State colleges are enabled to keep the cost of tuition within reason- able limits by grants from the public treasury ; independent colleges achieve this by voluntary contributions supplemented by income from their invested endowment funds. At Lycoming College, a non- profit institution, the tuition fee which each student pays represents approximately three-fourths of the total instruction cost. Tuition is kept at the lowest possible minimum consistent with adequate facilities and competent instruction.
Tuition at Lycoming is $225.00 per semester, plus certain fees which are listed on the following pages. The present cost of Room and Board per semester is $275,00 for women and $260.00 for men. (The academic year comprises two semesters of approximately six- teen weeks each.) If a student requests to use a double room as a single room, he will be charged 50% more than regular rates.
Regularly enrolled students carrying a normal schedule of from 13 to 15 hours of class or laboratory pay the full tuition charge. Those students taking fewer than 1,3 hours of work per semester, or fewer than 6 hours of work per semester in the summer session, are charged $15.00 per credit hour. Additional credits beyond the normal schedule of 15 hours are charged at the rate of $16,00 for each semester hour credit. Because of the individual attention needed, instruction in music and art is charged on a different basis, as is indicated on page 22.
APPLICATION FEE AND DEPOSIT Every student who desires admission is required to send a registration fee of $10.00 with the application. This payment partially covers administrative costs of handling the application. The fee is not refundable.
21
After a resident student is notified that he has been accepted for admission by the college, he must send a payment of $35.00 to the Director of Admissions. This payment is applied against the general charges of the semester and serves as a room reservation deposit. It will not be refunded unless notice is received at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester that the student will be unable to attend.
In order to reserve the room selected by a returning student, the student must have a room deposit of $25.00 paid on or before August 1, 1954. This amount will be applicable to the general charges of the semester.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
A modern book and supply store is conveniently located on the campus. Books and supplies are purchased by the individual stu- dent. The estimated cost is approximately $50.00 per year, but will vary somewhat in accordance with the course of study which the student is pursuing. Terms are cash. The bookstore is open registration day and daily thereafter.
ART AND MUSIC
Tuition for art and music majors is higher than the other courses of study. In these programs best results are obtained by individual instruction ; consequently the expense is greater. The cost in excess of the normal tuition varies according to the student's program of study but does not exceed $50.00 per semester. The exact cost is determined at the time of registration.
Special or part time music students are charged $40.00 per semester for one one-half hour lesson per week.
A charge of $5.00 per semester for piano and $10.00 per semes- ter for organ is made when these instruments are required for practice. These rates are for one period per day for each lesson scheduled.
Special or part time applied art students will be charged $50.00 for six class periods per week (three credit hours).

Addi- tional information concerning partial payments may be obtained from the President or Treasurer.
WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS
The date on which the Dean of the College approves the student's with- drawal sheet is considered the official date of withdrawal. In the case of minors, the approval of the parent or guardian is required before the with- drawal is approved and before any refund is made.
Room rentals have been fixed on a semester basis. Consequently, stu- dents leaving college prior to the ending of a semester will not be entitled to any refund on room rent. Board will be pro-rated by the week over the period of attendance.
Refund of tuition will be made to students who withdraw voluntarily from the College while in good standing and is fixed on the following basis: Students leaving during the first four-week period are charged 30% ; during the second four weeks 60% ; during the third four weeks, 90% ; after twelve weeks, full charge.
Dropping a subject from the original schedule after the second week of either semester will not justify any claim for refund of tuition charges. Written permission to drop the subject must be obtained from the Admis- sions Office. No refund will be made to those students who are asked to withdraw from college.
Other fees cannot be refunded for any reason whatever.
PENALTY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FEES
A student will not be registered for courses in a new semester if his account for previous attendance has not been settled.

STUDENT LIFE
PROVISION FOR FRESHMEN
The college recognizes the need for giving the freshmen assist- ance in making desirable adjustments to the college situation. A special program has been prepared for the orientation of freshmen.
All freshmen are required to come to the college several days in advance of the upper-classmen. During this time various tests are given which will aid the college staff in advising the student in his choice of courses. During this period problems of freshmen ad- justment are discussed, and directions for study, the use of the library, and other instructional aids are given. Provision is also made for recreation and a wholesome social life.
RELIGIOUS TRADITION
Lycoming College is a Methodist educational institution. How- ever, it is non-sectarian. A check of the Board of Directors, the faculty, and the student body indicates membership in twenty dif- ferent denominations including Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish. Traditionally, the college attempts to help students of all faiths find the place of religion in their lives. Students attend Sunday morning services at churches in the city. Each student is encouraged to be loyal to the church of his choice.
The college aims to stress the development and practice of a Christian philosophy of life. Courses in Religion (optional with non-Protestants who may substitute a course in Philosophy) include a systematic study of the Bible. Religious emphasis week brings to the college campus outstanding religious leaders. Many of the chapel and assembly programs are religious in nature. The Student Christian Association, membership open to all undergraduates on the campus, meets weekly at Rich Hall. Speakers include many prominent civic leaders, faculty members, and national figures. This group sponsors many and varied activities which aim to promote fel- lowship and spiritual life among the faculty and students.
33
The John Wesley Club is composed of students preparing for the ministry or other forms of religious work. Through regular meetings and deputation teams, they gain valuable training and ex- perience in religious work.
Through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for eighteen years President of the Board of Directors, a Department of Religion has been established at the College. The department head gives a large portion of his time to promoting a helpful relig- ious atmosphere at the institution and to aiding students toward a successful solution of personal problems which arise while they are on the campus.
CULTURAL INFLUENCES
Lycoming aims to develop in its students an easy familiarity with the best social forms and customs. Young men and women meet in the dining hall, at receptions and other social functiens. These contacts, together with frequent talks by instructors, do much to develop poise and social ease. Persons of prominence are brought to the school for talks and lectures, and excellent talent is provided by community organizations which bring outstanding artists to the city.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The college aims to develop in each student a sense of loyalty and responsibility to good citizenship. To this end there is estab- lished a Student Government representing the entire student body with the purpose of promoting the general welfare of the college and of providing a more perfect understanding between students and administration.
Certain phases of dormitory life are supervised and regulated by student dormitory governments. In this way students are pro- vided the experience of sharing the responsibilities which are the outgrowth of living closely with each other. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men exercise an over-all supervisory influence on dormitory life.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
CAMPUS GROUPS. In addition to the John Wesley Club, Stu- dent Christian Association, and the Student Government, there are
34
varied organizations on the campus which provide students with an interesting and wholesome social life. These are organized and con- ducted by the students in cooperation with the faculty. Some of these are as follows : The International Relations Club, which is the campus focus for discussion of world affairs ; the Foreign Language Club, which supplements class work by aiding students to under- stand the folklore of the various peoples and facilitates ease of con- versation in the language; The Lycoming College Players, which affords opportunity for acting and directing plays as demonstration of the work in the dramatic courses of the curriculum; the Varsity Club, which is composed of lettermen, promotes college spirit in sports; the Pre-Medical Society, which has discussions and hears lectures on various medical data ; some religious groups, the Canter- bury Club, the Catholic Club, and the Methodist Student Movement.
COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS. There are four college publica- tions. The Lycoming Courier is the official student paper, devoted to local interests of the student body, reporting current campus events. The Arrow, the college year book, is published in May and presents a record of student life during the current academic year. The staffs of both publications are composed of students interested in gaining more knowledge and experience in journalism and business practices. The Alumni Bulletin, issued six times a year, keeps the alumni posted on current happenings at the college and on alumni activities. The Guidepost, published by the Student Government, is a student handbook of regulations and miscellaneous information which is distributed during the first week of school.
MUSIC. The Music Department offers several organizations for students interested in music. A College Choir and the Men's Glee Club are open to all students desiring to join. The Lycoming Sing- ers, Men's Quartette, and an A Cappella Choir are formed of select- ed voices and represent the college at many events. A String En- semble gives instrument players an opportunity to enjoy the fellow- ship of good music together. In addition, there are the College Band and Symphony Orchestra, which meet several times each week for practice. These furnish the college with music for many entertainments, athletic events, and celebrations throughout the year,
35
FRATERNITIES. Five Greek letter groups on the campus pro- vide a means of bringing to men students the advantages of a fraternal organization. They include the Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho, Beta Lambda Chapter of Sigma Pi, Iota Beta Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, a colony of Theta Chi, and the Nu Chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon.
The Inter-Fraternity Council coordinates the activities of the fraternities.

RECREATION AND HEALTH
INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS. The college offers an attrac- tive program of intercollegiate athletics. Varsity teams represent the college in competition with other four year institutions in such sports as football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Lycoming is a member of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Conference and the Nation- al Collegiate Athletic Association.
RECREATION. An extensive program of intramural athletics affords opportunity for every student not a member of a varsity team to participate in one or more sports. These are run in con- nection with the required physical education program. Basic in- struction in game techniques is given in physical education class, and the intramural program affords opportunity for individual and team competition. Some of these sports are tennis, swimming, basketball, handball, badminton, bowling, volleyball, softball, and table tennis for both women and men; rhythmical activities, field hockey and archery, for women; boxing, touch football, and water polo for men.
In addition to the athletic recreation program, various organi- zations on the campus, the Lecture Series, motion pictures, and numerous social affairs offer programs of interest.
STUDENT INSURANCE. By a special group plan, our students are able to secure accident and sickness insurance covering medical and hospital expenses whether at home or at college during one academic year. Reimbursement will be made up to $500.00 for each incident. All students are advised to carry this protection.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. A physical examination of all students is required. This examination is conducted by the stu- dent's own physician and a report each year made on a standard form supplied by the College. This report is presented on Regis- tration Day to a faculty member from the Physical Education department.
In connection with the physical examination, all entering stu- dents must have a chest X-ray. If this cannot be arranged before entering, the Tuberculosis Society will take chest X-rays at a nomi- nal cost. The student bears the expense of the X-ray.
37
INFIRMARY SERVICE. The infirmary fee, included in the over-all activities fee, covers the following medical service: the college nurse holds infirmary hours each day, except Sunday, that the college dormitories are open; she is also available for first aid treatment and will call to the attention of the college physician any case demanding special treatment.
Such service, however, shall not be interpreted to include X- rays, surgery of more than minor nature, care of major accidents on or off campus, immunization for colds, examination for glasses, doctors' calls, cases of serious chronic disorder, or other extraor- dinary situation.
Each student is entitled to three days of infirmary service per school year, including routine nursing and ordinary medicines. There will be a charge of $2.00 per day for each additional day or fraction thereof beyond the allotted days.
Special nursing service and special medicines and prescriptions will be at the expense of the student. Parents will be notified by the College when students are confined to the infirmary with serious illnesses.
GUIDANCE
An advantage of a small college is the rich experience gained by the close association of students and faculty. In addition to this valuable personal relationship, which affords students the opportu- nity to discuss various problems with their instructors, Lycoming has a well-rounded guidance program for its students. Under the direction of the Dean of the College, this program includes areas as represented by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the Guidance Director with his group of faculty advisers. The program begins with a personal interview between the Director of Admis- sions and the candidate for admission. These interviews are suf- ficient in length to obtain a picture of the student, his background, and his plans for the future. When the student enters the College as a Freshman, he is given the opportunity to take aptitude and psychological examinations. On the basis of preparatory or high school records, aptitude and psychological examination scores, and various interviews, an evaluation of the student can be formed.
Additional information is obtained as the student progresses through his college life. His welfare is the sole purpose of the
38
guidance program, which stands ready to help him make an intelli- gent decision regarding his vocational choice and solve important personal problems.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The Placement Bureau maintains a register listing the talents and major interests of students and recent alumni. Literature from businesses and industrial associations is kept available. Con- sultations with the Placement Director assist students toward wise selection of a profession. Interviews are then scheduled at which students meet and confer with representatives from companies in which they are interested. The goal of the Bureau is to make the best possible connection for each graduate. Lycoming graduates are usually placed before commencement.
There are many diversified businesses in Williamsport. These firms give students at Lycoming splendid opportunities for visits, tours, and career conferences. They also afford the student body a variety of part-time jobs during each college session. The Place- ment Bureau serves as a clearinghouse for part-time employment and can usually find work for every student needing it. Normally the demand exceeds the supply of available workers.
PROVISION FOR VETERANS
Lycoming is fully approved for the educational program for Veterans under Federal Public Laws 346, 16, 650, and 894.
RESIDENT STUDENT LIFE
Living quarters are provided on the campus for 140 women and 215 men. Efforts are made each year to keep the dormitories in such repair that they constitute comfortable and attractive homes for the students.
Rooms at Lycoming are furnished as follows: desk, bureau, chair, single bed, mattress, and pillow. Students must supply their own bed linen, blankets, study lamps, and alarm clocks. The men can make their rooms more attractive by using throw rugs and plas- tic drapes.
The students will make their own arrangements for laundry ser- vice. A local laundry has a representative on campus for the con-
39
venience of all boarding students. It is recommended that the student bring a minimum of six sheets (single bed), three pillow eases, and two double blankets.
DISCIPLINE
The discipline of the College is firm, reasonable, and sympa- thetic. All students are considered responsible citizens and mem- bers of a Christian community. Any student who is antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose, or who fails to abide by the regulations set up by the College, may be asked to withdraw from the College at any time during the school year.
REGULATIONS
It is understood that students entering Lycoming do so with the intention of making an honest effort to do satisfactory work in every respect. When a student is not able to conform to the school pro- gram, the parents or guardians are asked to withdraw the student from the school.
The College regulations, in addition to those published here, are furnished each student upon matriculation. Announcements dur- ing the year by college authorities may amend or supplement the catalogue regulations and are to be adhered to as such.
Students from a distance are required to reside in the dormi- tories. Permission for any exception to this rule must be obtained from the administration. When such permission is granted, the place of residence and living accommodations must be approved by the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men.

Only a limited number of unclassified students are accepted. Such students are not admitted to candidacy for a degree.
GRADING SYSTEM
A credit hour is defined as one hour of classroom work, or the equivalent, each week during a full term of sixteen weeks. Ordi- narily two hours of laboratory work are rated as one credit hour.
The number system of grading with the corresponding quality points is used. "3" indicates work of the highest excellence, show- ing a superior grasp of the content, as well as independent and creative thinking in the subject. "2" signifies better than average achievement wherein the student reveals insight and ability. "1" is given for satisfactory achievement on the college level when work in the course has been conscientious and has shown no considerable de- ficiency in either quality or quantity. "0" indicates that work in the course has met the minimum essentials. "-1" is failure. Work failed must be repeated satisfactorily before any credit can be obtained £or that course.
Scholastic rank is determined on the quality point system where "3" counts 3 quality points per credit hour, "2" counts 2 points per hour, "1" counts 1 point p>er hour, "0" carries no point value, and "-1" counts -1 point per hour.
NORMAL STUDENT LOAD
The normal load per semester for students is from twelve to fifteen hours of academic work and two classes per week of physical education during the first two years.
OVER LOAD
Students who wish to carry in excess of the normal load are charged $15.00 per credit hour. A schedule of more than seventeen
43
hours of academic work may be taken if the student has an average of 2.0 for all previous work and obtains written permission from the Dean of the College or has an average below 2.0 and receives the written permission of a special committee.
PROBATION
Students whose grade-point average falls between .00 and .6 are placed on probation. Students on probation must maintain an average of 1.0 for a normal load for a semester, or during a summer to be removed from probation.
DISMISSAL
Freshmen who fail to maintain an average of at least .00 the first year shall be asked to withdraw from the College. Upper classmen whose averages fall below .00 for any semester may be asked to withdraw from the College. The College also reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant or to dismiss any student at any time if the administration considers such action to be for the best interests of the student or the College. Students dismissed for academic reasons may request reinstatement after one semester. Readmission of a student may be refused if in the considered opin- ion of the Admissions and Standards Committee he does not meet all the requirements of the College in the specific curriculum for which readmission has been sought.
ATTENDANCE
The program at Lycoming is built on the assumption that there is value in class and assembly and chapel attendance for all stu- dents. Therefore, all students are expected to attend all classes and a specified number of assembly and chapel exercises.
44
Specific regulations as to permissible absences and penalties for excessive absences are announced from time to time. Responsi- bility for learning and complying with these regulations rests with the student.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
The college offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. For either degree the minimum requirements are:
120 academic hours, including required courses and one major of at least 24 hours.
120 or more academic quality points on the basis of: "3" — 3 points per credit hour; "2" — 2 points per credit hour; "1" — 1 point per credit hour; "0" — 0 points per credit hour.
4 semester hours credit of physical education (not included in the 120 academic hours).

45
PROGRAMS FOR STUDY
Lycoming is anxious to aid its students to prepare for living a normal, well-adjusted life, as well as to prepare them for a variety of careers. The growing belief in professional schools that the best preliminary training is a broad cultural education has added new emphasis to the type of program now offered by Lycoming. This program offers a general education, conceded as necessary to a well-rounded individual living in today's ever smaller world, and yet is equipped to add more specialized courses so that a student looking forward to a particular career may specialize in the field of his vocational interest.
Choosing one's life work is an important and serious matter. In this selection, Lycoming, as a liberal arts college, plays an im- portant role. While some students enter college with a well-defined aim, many others are far from settled in their minds as to their own particular vocation. The first two years of a liberal arts course give the student glimpses into many fields and thus by the beginning of his third or Junior year, the student with this background and with the advice of the faculty, usually is well prepared to indicate his field of specialization.
The following pages contain some of the programs offered at Lycoming. Others are available upon sufficient demand. It is recommended, therefore, that the student discuss his proposed plan with the Registrar, or, if a returning student, with his adviser.
