Purpose and Objectives

Lycoming College devotes itself to the vocation of humanity: the vocation that enables man to become aware of what it means to love truth, goodness and beauty, by

fostering free inquiry and learning in a curricular experience that pro- vides basic knowledge of the cultural, social and natural world,

developing searching, critical, and creative attitudes of mind, encourag- ing cultural explorations essential to a free society,

aflRrming the Christian faith as a vahd interpretation of the vocation of humanity,

developing an appreciation for the values of social, mental and physical well-being, and

preparing students for professional and vocational opportunities that may be pursued upon a more humanitarian level because of founda- tions laid by a strong liberal education.

"Vocation of humanity" suggests that the primary concern of Tlie Col- lege is human life and living. We find this concern manifesting itself, in a Christian setting, as an affirmation of the fundamental dignity and worth of all human beings. The entire program of The College is directed toward fulfillment of objectives that seek to fit young men and women for "the living of these days," in a global society in which the priceless commodity is human life. Lycoming College redefined its educational mission in 1960 by the formulation of the specific objectives above. It now faces the decade ahead with the confidence that man's best chance for survival lies in wis- dom, knowledge, and understanding born of liberal education.

10

History

While the specific objectives of The College have varied somewhat with the changing years, its purpose of providing educational opportunities for young men and women has remained consistent throughout the 153 years of its history.

Founded in 1812 as Williamsport Academy, it is the oldest educational institution in the city of Williamsport. At first, the Academy served only the young dirough what are now recognized as the elementary grades. Widi the advent of pubhc schools in the city, the Academy expanded its cur- ricular offerings to include high school and college preparatory work.

In 1848, under die patronage of The Methodist Episcopal Church, the Academy became Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. The Seminary con- tinued as a private boarding school until 1929 when once again its offerings were expanded to include the first two years of college work. This expan- sion resulted in a change of the institution's name to Williamsport Dickinson Junior College. Dtning its years as a junior college under President John W. Long, the institution forged a strong academic reputation, strengthened its faculty and expanded its physical plant.

Increasing national demands for higher education following World War II prompted another significant step in the growth of the institution. In 1948, the junior college became Lycoming, a four-year degree-granting college of liberal arts and sciences. The name Lycoming is derived from an Indian word "lacomic" meaning "Great Stream." It is a name that has been common to north central Pennsylvania since colonial times and is an appropriate one for a school whose purpose has been consistently that of educating die area's young men and women. Tlirougli fulfillment of its specific objectives, it has been and continues to be an influential voice in the educational, cultural and spiritual development of die entire north central Pennsylvania region.

11

Locali

Lycoming College is situated upon a slight prominence in downtown Williamsport, Pennsylvania, overlooking the beautiful West Branch Valley of the Susquehanna River. The cit>- has a population of some forty-five thousand who consider The College one of its finest assets.

WiUiamsport was once the center of the lumbering industry of the northeastern United States and, while some ^'estiges of that enterprise remain, the mid-twentieth century finds the city expanding with many widely diversified industries.

The area around \^'illiamsport is famous for its beautiful mountain scenery and fine outdoor recreational facilities. Every year, thousands are attracted to the wooded mountain sides and crystal-clear streams where the outdoor sports, hunting and fishing, are unsurpassed. The city has two large parks, a municipal golf course, tennis courts and numerous play- grounds. Public education is represented by excellent schools both in the city and in the surrounding townships and boroughs. Many cultural opportunities are provided by Lycoming College, the Civic Choir, the Community Arts Festixal and the Community Concert Association. Eighty- eight churches representing a number of denominations minister to the spiritual needs of the community.

Within America's industrial Northeast, Williamsport is indeed centrally located. It is appro.ximately two-hundred miles from die major urban cen- ters of the region: Washington, D. C, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. The cit>' is easily accessible by airline, train, bus and automobile. Allegheny, United and Trans World Airlines provide seventeen flights dail>- with direct passenger service to \irtually all Penns>'lvania cities as well as New York, .\lbany. Rochester, Buffalo, Boston, Providence, Cleveland, Detroit and \\'ashington, D. C. The Pennsylvania Railroad offers daily passenger ser\'ice to Buffalo, Harris- burg, and Washington widi connections at Harrisburg to all major cities. Greyhound Bus Lines and Ed\\ards Lakes to Sea S>stem operate daily schedules to all points. U. S. Higliways 15 and 220 are routed through the Williamsport area as are State Highways 87, 118, 147, and 287. The new Interstate Highway 80. The Keystone Shortway, will cross the state just a few miles south of Williamsport.

12

Traditions

The long and enduring history of Lycoming and the attractive geo- graphic setting combine to provide fertile ground for the seeds of enriching expansion, a factor that has become one of the College's major traditions. To be sure, the alumni nostalgically remember "Old Main" and the other buildings, but what seems most characteristic of their college is its amazing capacity for growth: growth that continues to meet the demands of our changing society and its evolving culture.

Through more than a century of its histor\-, The College has had the stabilizing influence of The Methodist Church. The evolution of Lycoming from its origins to its present status has been accomplished with the con- tinuous conviction that a Christian philosophy of life is the proper leaxen of higher education. Lycoming strives to foster a Christian atmosphere in all aspects of the college program and to stress the development and prac- tice of a Christian way of life.

Lycoming College is owned by the Preacher's Aid Society of The Cen- tral Pennsyhania Annual Conference of The Methodist Church. The faculty and students express their religious convictions through membership and participation in the churches of almost thirty' Protestant denominations as well as the Roman Catholic and Hebrew faiths. Significant opportunities are offered every student for personal expression of religious faith. Loyalty to the church of one's choice is encouraged.

Lycoming College firmly believes in Christian higher education. One of its major objectives is continuous affirmation of the validity of the Chris- tian faith as a way of life. Fulfillment of this objective is accomplished by the support of a strong Department of Religion. This department was established through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for ten years President of the Board of Directors.

An emphasis upon Christian worship and thought is also offered by the weekly Chapel Program. It brings to the campus outstanding religious leaders who share with the Student Body die best in contemporary religious thinking. Chapel has become a strong tradition on the Lycoming campus. Attendance is required of all students who are enrolled full-time. Students are expected to attend The Chapel on a regularly scheduled basis on at least fourteen occasions throughout any one college year.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Ad

missions

Admission to college today is becoming increasingly competitive and undoubtedly it will continue to be so; thus, in this situation, it is for each college to define its future position.

At Lycoming College there is to be an increase in the size of the cam- pus, the addition of new facilities, the continuous improvement of the faculty, and the development of a larger student body. There is no intent to become so large as to lose identity as a small church-related college, but large enough to provide quahty education for an increased number of students.

ADMISSION POLICY

The College Committee on Admissions sets policy and constructs the standard to guide the selection of candidates.

It is the wish of the Committee diat, in making selections, emphasis be placed upon academic measures as evidenced by school records and exam- inations. Strength of character, acceptable social habits, and contributions to school and community are other factors considered by the Committee.

Admission to Lycoming College, in addition to the aforementioned criteria, requires the usual evidence of satisfactory secondary school prep- aration: graduation from an approved school with sixteen academic units including four units of English, at least two units of one foreign language, two units of science, two of history, and two of mathematics.

Cooperative engineering students and mathematics majors must include plane geometry as one of the two units of mathematics. A letter of recom- mendation from die applicant's private teacher and/or high school music supervisor should accompany the application of music majors.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Persons desiring to apply for admission should request official forms from the Director of Admissions.

The Admissions Office compiles a personal file for each applicant and the following items must be submitted before a final decision is made:

16

Admissions 17

1. Application for Admission and secondary school record on forms supplied by the College. A registration fee of $15.00 must accompany each application. This fee is not refundable.

2. A small recent photograph ( approximately 2" .x 3" ) of the applicant.

3. The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board. Applicants wishing to enter the College in September should arrange to take these e.xaminations no later than February of their senior year. Although not officially a requirement, candidates are encouraged to submit die Writing Sample exercise offered by the College Entrance Examination Board.

Note: The responsibility for arranging to take these examinations rests with the applicant. The Office of Admissions, however, will be glad to advise any applicant on this matter.

4. Candidates are requested to visit the campus and to meet with the Director of Admissions or a representative of the Admissions Office. This time provides an ox^portunity for reviewing the candidate's credential file, discussing plans, and answering questions.

SELECTION PROCESS

Admission to Lycoming College is on a competitive basis and should be regarded as selective. Early filing of an application, while encouraged, does not assure admission, because applications will be accepted until a number large enough to assure a reasonable selection has been received.

Candidates who have completed applications before March 1, may e.xpect to hear from the committee sometime after March 15, but before Aprill.

Candidates who complete applications after March 1 may expect to hear sometime after April 1. These candidates, even if well qualified (especially in the case of women), might necessarily have to be placed on a waiting list.

EARLY DECISION PLAN

Lycoming College has adopted an Early Decision Plan which will permit die Director of Admissions to notify Well qualified candidates at the beginning of their senior year in high school diat their admission to the college is assured upon graduation. Further information concerning the Early Decision Plan can be obtained from the Director of Admissions.

ADVANCED STANDING BY PLACEMENT

Incoming freshmen who have achieved satisfactory scores in the stand- ard Advanced Placement Examinations are permitted to enroll in advanced courses on the college level during their freshman year. Such students receive college credit equal to that assigned to the freshman course which is waived. These credits are to be entered upon the students' records without the regular tuition charge. Students who offer satisfactory scores in four or more Advanced Placement Examinations are admitted to The College as sophomores.

ADVANCED STANDING BY TRANSFER

Transfer students whose records are satisfactory in all respects may apply for advanced standing. Those who apply should follow the application pro- cedure described previously, and in addition, should submit a transcript of previous college work, letters of reference from both the Academic and Personnel Deans of the college and evidence of honorable dismissal.

A student admitted with advanced standing is required to complete his last two years at Lycoming in order to qualify for a bachelor's degree. To be awarded a degree, transfer students must satisfy all of the graduation requirements of Lycoming College.

If an interview is to be required, you will be notified and a mutually convenient time will be arranged.

A procedure list to be followed by transfer students when applying for admission will be sent upon request.

SUMMER ENROLLMENT OF PRE-COLLEGE STUDENTS

By special arrangement, qualified high school students who have com- pleted their sophomore, junior or senior years may be admitted to the Col- lege summer program to take certain courses. Such students will receive college credit for all work that is passed. Courses especially recommended in this program are the college freshman and sophomore courses in foreign languages and mathematics. Admission to the sophomore level courses in these departments would depend upon previous achievement as deter- mined by a qualifying examination administered at the time of registration.

The College reser\'es the right to dismiss any student whose grades are excessively low in any one semester. It also reserves the right to dismiss any student when such dismissal is in the best interests of The College.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The academic program at Lycoming is based upon the assumption that there is value in class attendance for all students. Individual instruc- tors have the privilege of establishing reasonable absence regulations in any given course. Responsibility for learning and observing these regula- tions rests with the student.

Degree Programs

BASIC CONCEPTS IN LIBERAL EDUCATION. From among the many valid approaches to fulfillment of collegiate aims and objectives, Lycoming has selected fresh interpretations of some old and honorable concepts: That education is continuous accrual of knowledge and wisdom; that human knowledge of trutlis has been accrued chiefly by means of in- vestigations into specific areas of possible inquiry; that the traditional liberal arts are the great and fundamental reservoirs of these truths; and that teacher and students together provide the best opportunity for transmitting these truths.

DEPARTMENTAL STRUCTURE. In redefining its collegiate charac- ter, Lycoming recognizes the validity of cataloguing knowledge into specific categories in order that learning may be transmitted more readily. Courses offered by the College are organized therefore, by departments patterned after the traditional liberal arts and sciences. In many instances, these de- partments carry the same names as courses taken in the high school. So it is that college students may continue to deepen interests in well-known subjects, but at the same time, they are expected to increase the scope of their intellectual development by electing courses in other departments with less familiar titles.

UNIT COURSE. Lycoming also recognizes the validity of conveying knowledge and wisdom by means of the traditional course offering. It has reinterpreted the traditional course to mean a single unit of academic work consisting of teaching and learning in classroom experiences for approximate- ly four hours each week for a semester. Thus, all courses offered by the College are unit courses, each carrying identical credit, each making similar demands in time and effort upon the student. Normally, four unit courses will be elected during any one semester. One unit course may be elected during each of the three four-week summer sessions.

22

Decree Programs 23

THE MAJOR

New interpretations of the traditional departmental approach to learn- ing involve increasing emphases upon deepened interests and scholastic opportunities in a single department referred to as The Major.

College standards demand that all students pass at least eight specified unit courses in the major. Courses numbered 1-8 in most departments will compose the normal sequence of major courses. However, some deviation, with consent of the facult)' advisor, will be permitted for e.xceptional students.

The eight units making up the core of the major program are the suggested minimum. Many students will be satisfied with this minimum, but ample opportunity is pro\'ided for the gifted student to probe somewhat more deeply into his major. A series of ad\anced le\el courses open onl\' to qualified junior and senior students with consent of the department head or instructor shall be made available in each department ofi^ering a major. The specific subjects selected for such advanced studies may be highly diversified, and may take the form of independent study, honors, seminars, fundamental research or small classes informally organized. It is under- stood that all such courses shall normally be one unit courses.

Selection of a major is entirely at the discretion of the student. The choice is governed by some important factors such as vocational aims, apti- tudes and interests. Whatever the reason, the student should, by the close of his freshman year, have selected a major. In some instances, it is possible to defer this decision until the end of the sophomore year but any further postponement is likely to mandate some additional summer work in order to complete the major on schedule.

The number of departments offering majors to Lycoming College students is not extensive. However, all the departments encompassing the great liberal traditions are represented. At least eight unit courses (suffi- cient for a major) are ofiFered in each subject as follows:

Accounting Mathematics

Art Music

Biology Philosophy

Business Administration Physics

Chemistry Pohtical Science

Economics Psychology

Enghsh Religion

French Russian

German Sociology and Anthropology

History Spanish

International Relations Theatre

24 Lycoming College Bulletin

Some courses are also offered in subjects in which a major is not available. These courses are normally elective, but in some instances, they may be used to fulfill supporting or distribution course requirements

Czech Latin

Education Law

Geolog)' Speech

Greek Statistics Italian

Occasionally, students may be privileged to pursue a kind of academic major that cuts across the more traditional departmental major. Such a program is the major in American Civilization, where students may, with consent of the Chairmen of the History and English departments, organize a course of studies imolving advanced work in both departments, supple- mented by course elections from other departments that will contribute significantly. Appro\'al to follow majors of this nature must be secured from the facultv committee on instruction.

COURSES SUPPORTING THE MAJOR

The special fields of human inquiry show clear evidence of interde- pendence. Knowledge in some academic departments may be considerably enhanced by knowledge obtained from another. For example, knowledge of chemistry is unquestionably supported and enhanced by knowledge of fundamental concepts of mathematics. It is for this reason that a student's educational program shall include a number of unit courses from depart- ments other than the major. Counsel of the facult>' advisor is always sought in determining which courses will properly support the major.

THE DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

The major and its supporting courses are inseparably entwined within the heart of Christian liberal education. In some degree, the educational objectives of a college, particularly that of depth in a subject, might be fulfilled by the satisfaction of major and supporting course requirements. But the truly liberally educated Christian has something more than depth in a subject can provide. His aesthetic and literary tastes are cultivated, his perception of the environment is unmasked, his conscience is quickened in tlie light of the world's problems, his sensitivity to cultural change is honed to a new sharpness, and his awareness of the ethical and religious implications of his personal behavior is deepened. The magnitude of the

Degree Programs 25

task suggested by these characteristics places unusual stresses on the educa- tional program of any Christian liberal arts college. Ne\'ertheless, L\'coming accepts the responsibilities of the challenge. It does so by requiring that students pass at least one year ( two unit courses ) of collegiate le\'el work in each of the following areas or groups of departments. Courses that meet these distribution requirements are selected by the student in consultation with his faculty advisor.

FRESHMAN ENGLISH. All students are required to pass English 1-2, Freshman English. Students who have achieved a sufficiently high score in the ETS Advanced Placement Test in English may have this requirement waived in favor of English 3-4.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR MATHEMATICS. All students are required to pass at least one year (two unit courses) of second or third year Foreign Language or Mathematics. This requirement may be met in one of several ways.

Foreign Language. Students electing to take a foreign language may choose from among French, German, Greek, Latin (if offered), Russian or Spanish. Placement at the appropriate course le\el in the selected language will be determined by the faculty members of the Foreign Language Department. Determination of the appropriate course le\el is based upon a review of the student's record including high school grades, scores on the College Board Achie\'ement Tests or scores of similar examinations admin- istered by the College.

A prior record of sufficient quality may enable the student to be entered into second or third year courses in a language. In such cases, only one year (two unit courses) is required. A record of insufficient quality, or the absence of any appropriate language on the high school record will cause the student to be entered into a first year language course. In such cases, two years (four unit courses) of one language are required.

Mathematics. Students electing to take mathematics will be placed at appropriate levels of competence as detenuined by Placement Tests.

RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY. All students are required to pass one year (two unit courses) in one of the following: (a) Philosophy, (b) Religion.

26 Lycoming College Bulletin

FINE ARTS. All students are required to pass one year (two unit courses) in one of the following:

(a) Art. Normally, any two courses in art will satisfy this requirement.

(b) Literature. Students may elect one year of English Literature, English 3-4, or one year of a Foreign Language chosen from among courses numbered 5-6 or above.

(c) Music. The basic courses in Music Appreciation, Music 1-2, or Music Theory, Music 3-4 will satisfy this requirement.

(d) Theatre. Theatre 1-2 will satisfy this requirement. However, stu- dents who participate in the Summer Theater Workshop ha\e also satisfied the fine arts requirement. Courses in basic Speech are not applicable toward meeting the requirement in fine arts.

NATURAL SCIENCE. All students are required to pass one year (two unit courses) in one of the following: (a) Biology, (b) Chemistry, (c) Geology or (d) Physics.

HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE. All students are required to pass one year (t^vo unit courses) in one of the following: (a) Economics, (b) Histor\'. (c) International Relations, (d) Political Science, (e) Psychology or (f) Sociology and Anthropology.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS

The changing nature of American education finds greater emphasis than ever before upon the de\elopment of significant opportunities for self- fulfillment among students. Pertinent educational goals demand that every student shall be accorded an opportunity to pursue a program that offers him the best chance to realize his intellectual potential. It is for this reason, that Lycoming has developed a curriculum that allows a maximum flexibility in course selection, especially among those courses diat support the major as well as those that effectively meet the requirements of the College's ob- jecti\'es in liberal education. But wide variety in course selection does not always allow as completely individualistic a program as one might wish. Therefore, a variety of special educational opportunities are provided.

Decree Programs 27

Studies

INDEPENDENT STUDY. Each department granting a major provides opportunity to students to work independently. Upon consent of the depart- ment head, and the instructor, a student may register for courses in in- dependent study. Nonnally, the opportimity for such study is provided for the better quahfied major student who has successfully completed the courses making up the core of his major program. Except under unusual circum- stances, registration for the studies course is limited to one unit course dur- ing each semester. If a student wishes to elect three or more unit courses in Studies in his total college program, approval of the Faculty Committee on Instruction must be secured. Students who are privileged to elect Indepen- dent Study in any department register for courses numbered 31-32, Studies, with an appropriate title to be entered upon the student's permanent record.

SEMINAR STUDY. The several departments may from time to time find it possible to organize small classes or seminars for e.xceptional students interested in subjects or topics not usually a part of departmental course offerings. Establishment of the seminar and admission of students depends upon the approval of the department involved. Occasionally, Visiting Pro- fessors, Lectvirers, or Specialists in Residence \\ill offer such seminar studies. Students who are privileged to elect Seminar Study in any department regis- ter for courses numbered 31-32, Studies, with an appropriate title to be en- tered upon the student's permanent record. Enrollment in seminar courses is limited to ten students.

DEPARTMENTAL HONORS. \\'hen a student desires to enter an Honors program and secures departmental approval to apply, a facult\- committee shall be con\'ened whose initial responsibility shall be to pass upon the student's eligibility to enter the program. The Committee responsi- bility shall also include the direction of the study, and final e\aluation of its worth. The committee shall be composed of two faculty members from the student's major department, one of whom shall be the faculty member under whose immediate supervision the study is performed, and one mem- ber from each of two other departments related to the subject matter of the study. Committee members shall be selected from among the faculty members who are personally acquainted with the applicant's abilities. Selec- tion of persons to serve on the committee is made by the head of the appli- cant's major department, after consultation with the heads of other depart- ments invoh'ed. Usually the honors program involves independent study in two consecutive unit courses. In order that a student be privileged to register for three or more unit courses in Honors in his total college program.

28 Lycoming College Bulletin

approval of the Faculty Committee on Instruction must be secured. Students who are privileged to elect Honors register for courses numbered 41-42.

Honors study is expected to result in the completion of a tliesis to be defended in a final oral e.xamination. Acceptable theses shall be deposited in the College Library. Successful completion of the Honors program will cause the designation of honors in the department to be placed upon the permanent record and the commencement program. In the event that the study is not completed successfully, the student shall be reregistered in Studies and given a final grade for the course.

EXTRA-MUHAL StXJDIES

Full college credit will be allowed for satisfactory completion of aca- demic work in appro\ed studies programs at other institutions. Such pro- grams may be entered into for one semester or one )'ear. Among such approved programs are the following:

WASHINGTON SEMESTER. Upon recommendation of the faculty of die Department of Political Science, students may be permitted to attend the American University, Washington, D. C, for a period of one full semester. The Washington Semester program is intended to provide a firsthand acquaintance with various aspects of the nation's capital, as well as an academic experience equivalent to the normal four unit courses. This program is open to selected students who luue special interests in Political Science, Law and American Go\'ernment. Ordinarily, only junior students are eligible.

UNITED NATIONS SEMESTER. Upon recommendation of the faculty of the Departments of History, International Relations, or Political Science, students ma\' be permitted to attend Drew Uni\'ersit\', Madison, New Jersey, for a period of one full semester. The United Nations Semester is intended to provide a firsthand acquaintance with the United Nations, New York City, as well as an academic experience equi\'alent to the normal four unit courses. This program is open to selected students who have special interests in \\'orld History, International Relations, Law, and Poli- tics. Ordinarily, only junior students are eligible.

JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD. Under the au.spices of approved uni\ersities or agencies, a student may be pri\ileged to spend one or two semesters of his junior year in a foreign universit\'. The program has seemed to be especially attracti\'e to students majoring in foreign languages but it is entirely possible for other students to participate. A file on opportunities within the Junior Year Abroad program is a\ailable in the Office of the Dean of the College who serves as advisor to the program.

Curricula

PURPOSES OF THE CURRICULA

Courses of study in Lycoming College are designed to fulfill tvvo specific but interrelated purposes. The first is to acquaint the student with the liberal arts heritage of human civilization and the American nation, and the second is to provide him an opportunity to explore from an elementary to an advanced level various fields that may fit him for a life's vocation or direct him toward professional or graduate schools.

The curricula are organized so that the basic purposes may be fulfilled simultaneously within the normal 32 unit courses (eight semesters of college work ) .

AMERICAN CIVILIZATION MAJOR

Recognizing the rich intellectual heritage associated with the founding and subsequent development of the American nation, the Departments of English and History in Lycoming College have established a combined English-History curriculum which focuses attention upon American civiliza- tion. Here die uniqueness of American democracy, cradled and nurtured on diis continent, is stressed throughout. In order to achiexe the deepest insight into the American scene, both historical and contemporary, the curriculum includes, in addition to those freshman and sophomore history and English requirements, eight unit courses in English and History. Students desiring a thorough background in American civilization in prep- aration for graduate work, the Christian ministry, ci\il or foreign ser\ice or teaching will find this a most attractive and exciting curriculum.

PREPARATION FOR DENTAL SCHOOL

At least three years of pre-dental study are suggested before entry into a college of dentistry. Howe\er, many students prefer to defer their matric- ulation in a dental college until they have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. The pre-dental curriculum is organized around the basic courses in biology, chemistry and physics. Electing a major in one of the natural sciences is the usual procedure. The student should consult the catalogue of the college of dentistry to which he expects to apply so that all courses specifically

29

30 Lycoming College Bulletin

required by that college of dentistry may be included in his program at Lycoming College. The modern practitioner of dentistry is not just a dentist. He is a human being dealing with other human personalities and as such must be conversant in a great variety of human experiences. For this reason, the pre-dental curriculum will be augmented with courses from many areas of academic work. In addition to the science courses, therefore, the pre-dental student will include in his curriculum courses from the fine arts, humanities and social sciences, as well as a foreign language.

COOPERATIVE CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING

Consistent with increased attention being gixen nationally to engineer- ing education, Lycoming College offers a cooperative curriculum combining the manifold advantages of a small liberal arts college with the training to be secured at an engineering school. By arrangement with Bucknell Univer- sity and The Pennsylvania State University, the College offers a five-year program in which the first three years are spent at Lycoming and the final two at the engineering school. Upon completion of the first year at the engineering school, the student's record will be sent to Lycoming College. If the work is satisfactory, Lycoming College will award the Bachelor of Arts degree. Upon the completion of the five-year program of studies, a Bachelor of Science in Engineering is awarded by the engineering school. Combined programs offer an opportunity for completion of studies in the following areas: Bucknell University: chemical, civil, electrical, or mechani- cal engineering; The Pennsylvania State University: aeronautical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical or sanitary engineering.

Prescribed work at Lycoming includes, in addition to the degree requirements outlined above, courses in chemistry, mathematics and physics. Because the demands of the engineering curricula may differ somewhat, a program of studies at Lycoming College will be designed for each student when his plans as to type of engineering program preferred have been finally fixed. The Director of the Division of Natural Science or a member of the teaching staff in the physical sciences will aid each cooperative engineering student in planning his program.

COOPERATIVE CURRICULUM IN FORESTRY

Lycoming College offers a program for forestry students which com- bines a strong liberal arts and science background with professional train- ing in forestry at the Duke School of Forestry, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.

Curricula 31

The program as established is of five years' duration. A student electing to pursue this program of study will spend three years at Lycoming where he will meet the liberal arts degree requirements, including such subjects as English, a foreign language, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and economics.

Upon satisfactory completion of these three years' work at Lycoming College, the student will apply for admission to the Duke School of Forestry for one summer and t\vo years of training in forestry. At the end of his first year at Duke, his record will be sent to Lycoming College. If the work is satisfactory for this fourth year in college, Lycoming will award the Bach- elor of Arts degree. Upon the satisfactory completion of the second year in forestry school, the professional degree. Master of Forestry, will be awarded by Duke University.

PREPARATION FOR LAW SCHOOL

Many colleges of law require a Bachelor of Arts degree for admission. The four-year degree program in pre-law at Lycoming College provides a background for the prospective student of law. Requirements include courses in political science and history, but also specified is a wide range of subject matter designed to acquaint the student with the vast scope of human experience. Students may e.xpect to major in economics, history, political science, or related fields as they prepare for matriculation in law school. Individual programs are tailored to fit the student's needs as well as to meet the specific requirements of the law school to which he applies for admission.

PREPARATION FOR MEDICAL COLLEGE

This curriculum is organized around a solid foundation of the basic courses in biology, chemistry and physics. Fre-medical students usually major in one of the natural sciences. The student should be aware of the specific pre-medical course requirements demanded by the medical college to which he will apply so that all such requirements can be fitted properly into his curriculum at Lycoming College. Consistent with suggestions of the medical colleges, a vdde range of subject matter from the humanities, social sciences and fine arts is also to be included in the curriculum. Some stu- dents may matriculate in a college of medicine after three years of pre- medical work, but the more normal procedure is to elect four years of pre-medical study and enter the medical college with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

32 Lycoming College Bulletin

PREPARATION FOR THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

(Christian Ministry)

Young men and women called to tlie Christian ministry or related voca- tions will find the pre-ministerial curriculum at Lycoming College an excit- ing and challenging opportimity. Basic courses specified by the American Association of Theological Schools are virtually identical with the program of courses required for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Lycoming College. Such courses offer a wide range of subject matter presenting many opportunities for the eager pre-ministerial student to acquaint himself with the broad scope of human experience. Preparation for seminary includes earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in one of a variety of fields such as religion, English, history, philosophy and American civilization. So that every student may have a curriculum designed to fit his individual needs, the offerings in the junior and senior year are largely elective. However, the choice of electives will depend upon the specific requirements of the theo- logical school in which the student expects to matriculate.

CURRICULUM IN RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Any student desiring extensive study in Biblical history and literature, the historical development of Christianit>', and Christian doctrine, may major in religion. A qualified student planning to enter the vocation of religious education should, besides majoring in religion, elect five or six unit courses in prescribed psychology, education, sociology, and church music courses. This program of study, completely within the liberal arts curriculum, is to qualify graduates for work as Educational Assistants, or after graduate study in a theological seminary, as Directors of Christian Education. Inter- ested or prospective students are invited to contact Mr. Neufer of the De- partment of Religion for further information concerning the opportunities, responsibilities and requirements of these and other church vocations.

TEACHER EDUCATION

Lycoming College trains teachers for both elementary and secondary education. The program is clearly identified with the liberal arts nature of the College, and hence, no candidate for the profession of teaching is con- sidered apart from the total liberal arts objective. Teacher education candi- dates meet all general course requirements of the College including a major in a subject matter field.

Curricula 35

THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CURRICULUM

Lycoming College offers course work in the field of business administra- tion particularly designed for training prospective business leaders. The three areas of specialization are business administration, accounting, and economics. Business is a highly diversified occupation; therefore the cur- riculum is not designed to be vocational or narrowly pre-professional. The purposes of the business administration curriculum are to train and to equip the minds of men and women to recognize and to solve complex problems fac- ing business e.xecuti\'es, to develop an appreciation for rigorous analysis, to practice the arts of verbal and written communication, and to expose the developing mind to as wide as possible a range of course work represented by the traditional liberal arts curriculum, to the end that a student becomes truly well educated. Considerable flexibility is permissible within the cur- riculum and the student is encouraged to pursue course work most reward- ing to him. Three years of high school mathematics are recommended for preparation. For specific requirements, refer to indi\'idual course areas.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

This curriculum is organized around an academic background of basic science courses in addition to those liberal arts courses listed as requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Three unit courses in biology are required as well as one of mathematics. In chemistry, General Chemistry and Quantitative Analysis are specified. Three or four years are spent in obtain- ing this academic background; the final year is spent in the medical labora- tories of an approved hospital. This will consist of an internship of a full calendar year at a hospital accredited in the Registry of Medical Tech- nologists of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. The College will give credit for the year when it is informed that the student has successfully passed the examinations given by the Registry of Medical Technologists of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. An official transcript of studies completed at the hospital must also be submitted by the candidate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Expenses

GENERAL EXPENSES

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 reasonable limits by grants from die public treasury; independent colleges achieve this by voluntary contri- butions supplemented by income from their inxested endowment funds. At Lycoming College, the tuition fee which each student pays represents only a portion of the total instruction cost. Tuition is kept at the lowest possible le\el consistent with adequate facilities and competent instruction.

Tuition at Lycoming is $600 per semester, plus certain fees which are listed on the following pages. The room expense for boarding students amounts to $225.00 per semester except for men living in the Fraternity Residence who are assessed an additional $25.00. Board is $225.00 per semester (die academic year comprises two semesters of approximately sixteen weeks each ) . If, for justifiable reason, it is impossible for a student to eat in the College Dining Room, permission may be given the student to make other arrangements for meals. Howe\er, in the event such permission is granted, the room cost will be 50" higher than die above rates. If a student requests the use of a double room as a single room and the room is a\ ailable, he will be charged 50% more than regular rates.

The tuidon charged covers the regular or prescribed course of study which nomially comprises four subjects. Additional detailed information will be furnished by the Treasurer's Office upon request.

APPLICATION FEE AND DEPOSIT

All students applying for admission are required to send an application fee of $15.00 with the application. This charge is to partially defray the costs of processing the application, maintaining academic records and is non-refundable.

This assistance may take any one, or any combination, of die following forms: (1) Scholarships, (2) Grants-in-aid, (3) Loans, (4) Workships.

42 Lycoming College Bulletin

Grants-In-Aid are awarded annually to students on the basis of a dem- onstrated need. The size of the grant is determined by need and by the promise of becoming beneficial members of The College family and of society.

He is responsible for co-ordinat- ing the religious activities of the College and provides counseling in the area of religion to students who request his assistance. He serves as Executive Secretary to tlie Religious Life Council.

It is composed of repre- sentatives from all student religious organizations, Student Govern- ment, Faculty, Administration, and the local clergy. Early in the second semester the Council sponsors a week of religious emphasis. Students and faculty discuss together common problems in some aspect of re- ligious experience with the objective of stimulating interest throughout the campus community.

through religious organizations which include the Methodist Student Movement (meeting weekly at the College Church, Pine Street Meth- odist Church, located at the intersection of Pine Street and Edwin Street) and the John Wesley Club. Other denominational groups include the Canterbury Club ( Episcopal ) , die Presbyterian Fellowship, the Lutheran Student Association, the Roger Wilhams Club (Baptist), and the United Campus Christian Fellowship (Disciples, E. U. B., and Reformed). Each of these meets regularly to provide members of its faith with the opportunity to participate in activities of common interest.

Campus Life

Lycoming College accepts the responsibility of making every situation in which learning occurs constructive and positive. The College believes that learning is a continuous process that takes place not only in the class- room, but also in every college activity.

46

Religious Life 47

The College assumes its responsibility in this area by directing the extra-curricular educational experiences of the students in such a way that these activities contribute to the achievement of the objectives of The Col- lege, by complementing the academic life of the campus.

The College considers one of its responsibilities to be the encouragement of as many difiFerent activities as are necessary to provide all students with the opportunity to participate constructively in this area of student life. Departmental clubs; athletics, both intercollegiate and intramural; varied interest groups such as denominational clubs, the choir, the band, etc.; social organizations; social activities; self-governing groups; and many informal associations are equally important in a well integrated program of student activities.

Recognizing the need for skilled leadership in our world. The College aims to utilize students in as many of the leadership positions as possible. In doing so, it will give students the opportunity to accept greater responsi- bilities, and to learn as they participate.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Self-government by students in certain areas of campus life is an objective achieved through the Student Government Association of Lycom- ing College. The Student Council is the legislative body of the Association. The Officers of the Student Government Association are elected from the entire student body. Members of Student Council are elected by classes and certain other organizations.

The Student Council has been delegated authority for certain areas of campus life. The establishment of parking regulations and their enforce- ment is the responsibility of Student Government. Students are employed by Student Council to serve as enforcement officers. All fines collected for violations are turned over to Student Council to pay for the costs of the registration of automobiles and the enforcement officers.

A Student Court has been established by Student Council to hear cases involving the violation of the parking regulations. This court is also empow- ered to consider cases referred to it by the Student Union Court or to hear cases on appeal of students from the Student Union Court.

The Student Court is composed of four students appointed by the President of the Student Council with the approval of the Council and the Dean of Students.

A number of standing committees of Student Council are concerned with specific areas of student life. The Social Calendar-Concessions Com-

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES

Lycoming aims to give its students every possible opportunity to become familiar with the best social customs and usages.

These experiences are provided through the dining room, coffees and receptions, and other social functions.

The Artist and Lecture Series presents several performances of the best obtainable talent in music, drama, the dance, and the lecture. The Series is presented to provide wider cultural experiences than might normally be available to the student. Although the Series is entertaining, its prime objective is to acquaint the student with the arts and the humanities as they are performed on a professional level.

STUDENT UNION

The Student Union of Lycoming College is a unique organization. It is operated by a Board of Students who are selected for membership after they have served at least a year in the apprentice program. Its serv'ices to the campus include poster making, publicity, and a travel board. The Student Union Board is responsible for the entire Student Union Program. It sponsors dances, lectures, picnics, tours, concerts, inter-collegiate mixers, films, tournaments, recreational activities, dancing, bridge, skiing, and life saWng courses, coffee hours, and provides an informal place for students to gather.

The orientation program at Lycoming College is designed to help the student entering college for the first time to start this new adventure under the most favorable circumstances. An entirely new concept of courses, class scheduling, and methods of instruction must be assimilated. Adjust- ment to this new experience is important.

In order to prepare for the beginning of this experience, Lycoming schedules seven orientation sessions each lasting two and one half days during the summer. Each new student is required to attend one of these sessions accompanied by at least one parent.

The summer program makes it possible to schedule ample time for academic advisement, placement testing, library orientation, and registration.

Each new student completes all preliminaries, including registration, during the summer orientation period. Textbooks are available for purchase and perusal prior to the opening of classes in the Fall.

Information regarding the dates of orientation sessions, a typical sched- ule and a pre-registration form are mailed to each new student admitted to Lycoming College.

DISCIPLINE

The College expects all of its students to accept the responsibility required of citizens in a free democratic society. The rules and regulations of The College are designed to protect the rights of every member of the community against encroachment by individuals. The limitations which are imposed upon the activities of individuals are established for the com- mon good of the entire college community'.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

The position of Lycoming College regarding the use of alcoholic bev- erages by its campus constituency is based upon the official position of The Methodist Church, which is stated in Paragraph 2022 of the Discipline of The Methodist Church, 1960 edition, and upon the premise that any activity not contributing constructively to the development of a mature citizen in the college community is inconsistent with the aims and ideals of The College.

Specific rules and regulations regarding the use of alcoholic beverages are based on the abo\'e statement and are consistent with the statutes of the Commonwealth of Penns\l\ania in regard to the purchase and use of alcoholic beverages by persons under 21 years of age.

The following situations may result in dismissal from The College or other disciplinary action:

1. The possession and/or use of alcoholic beverages inside any College building, or on College propert\-, including the storage of such bever- ages in automobiles on the campus.
