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  imposing  buildings. 

Williamsport  itself  is  known  as  "The  Queen  City  of  the  West 
Branch  of  the  Susquehanna  River,"  on  the  famed  Susquehanna 
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  and  Read- 
ing railroads,  with  their  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.  Capital,  TWA,  and  American  Airlines  place  the  time  at 
forty  minutes  to  Harrisburg,  an  hour  and  ten  minutes  to  Philadel- 
phia, one  hour  and  fifteen  minutes  to  New  York,  and  about  three 
hours  to  Boston. 

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  not  a  money-making  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-

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.  There  are  hardwood  floors  through- 
out. 

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  Gray  Memorial  Library,  and  one 
floor  of  men's  dormitories. 

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  nurses'  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. 

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.     The  pool  is  con- 

17 


structed  of  tile  and  is  amply  lighted,  with  windows  of  glass  blocks, 
making  a  sunlit  pool  at  nearly  all  hours  of  the  day. 

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 
auditorium  suitable  for  recitals  and  even  more  pretentious  produc- 
tions. 

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,  with  facilities  for  softball 
and  other  intramural  sports. 

New  bleachers  have  been  erected  which  accommodate  1,000 
people.  They  have  wooden  seats  on  a  steel  and  concrete  founda- 
tion, with  an  attractive  brick  wall  at  the  rear,  surmounted  with  a 
wrought  iron  fence.  Evergreens,  rose  of  Sharon,  and  spiraea  line 
the  inside  of  the  fence. 

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. 

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. 

18 


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  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. 

MEMORIAL  HALL.  Memorial  Hall  was  dedicated  on  Novem- 
ber I,  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  with  red  brick. 

THE  ANNEX.  To  the  south  of  Bradley  Hall  another  class  room 
building  has  been  erected  by  the  Federal  Works  Agency.  Depart- 
mental offices  are  also  located  here. 

LIBRARY  FACILITIES 

THE  LYCOMING  COLLEGE  LIBRARY.  A  new  college  library 
building  is,  as  this  bulletin  goes  to  press,  in  the  process  of  being 
constructed.  Completion  of  the  structure  is  planned  for  July  15, 
1951.  The  cost  is  estimated  at  $301,000.  The  building  will  hold 
over  100,000  volumes  and  will  seat  approximately  250  students. 
There  will  be  a  browsing  recreational  reading  room,  periodical 
room,  and  a  typing  room  besides  the  regular  reading  rooms  and 
offices  on  the  first  floor. 

On  the  second  floor  an  audio-visual  classroom  for  100  students 
and  another  for  25  students  with  a  storage  room  between  will  form 
a  unit.  There  will  be  a  listening  room  for  groups  and  one  for 
individuals. 

Rare  books  and  historical  data  will  be  kept  on  the  second  floor. 
There  is  also  provision  for  seminar  rooms  on  this  floor. 

The  present  college  library  is  located  in  Bradley  Hall.  It  is 
well-lighted,  and  arranged   for   research   and   reflective   reading. 

19 


There  are  now  more  than  21,000  volumes,  and  this  number  is 
rapidly  being  augmented.  An  excellent  list  of  reference  works  has 
been  provided.  In  order  to  stimulate  the  interest  of  the  students 
in  books  not  directly  related  to  their  special  interests,  a  group  of 
books  for  general  reading  has  been  added. 

Currently  the  library  subscribes  to  two  hundred  and  sixty  peri- 
odicals, covering  all  subject  fields  offered  by  the  college,  and  ten 
newspapers,  including  three  foreign  language  papers.  Seven  peri- 
odical indexing  and  bibliographical  services  are  regularly  received. 

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. 

In  addition  to  the  usual  reading  material,  the  library  has  a 
collection  of  recordings  for  the  use  of  various  departments  and  the 
student  body.  Included  are  not  only  musical  records,  but  also  a 
number    of    literary    or    historical    records    and    albums. 

Located  within  two  squares  of  the  college  campus  is  one  of  the 
finest  Public  Libraries  in  the  state — the  James  V.  Brown  Library. 
Through  a  co-operative  arrangement,  its  professionally  trained  staff, 
ample  reading  and  reference  rooms,  and  large  collection  of  litera- 
ture are  freely  available  to  Lycoming  students. 

AUDIO-VISUAL  SERVICES 

Audio-visual  aids  in  instruction  are  relatively  new,  but  the  idea 
is  growing  more  important.  Progressive  educational  institutions 
are  not  ignoring  the  potentialities  of  visual  and  auditory  methods., 
and  with  this  in  view,  Lycoming  is  promoting  an  active  program  to 
incorporate  audio-visual  devices  for  more  purposeful  and  effective 
instruction.  Special  audio-visual  equipment  available  includes  a 
sound,  16  mm.,  moving-picture  projector,  a  silent  projector,  one 
two-by-two  slide  projector,  one  combination  two-by-two  slide  and 
35  mm.  filmstrip  projector,  three  combination  radio  and  record 
machines,  a  wire  recorder,  two  public  address  systems,  and  a  micro- 
film reader. 

20 


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  up  with  the  local  radio 
station,  WRAK,  an  NBC  affiliate.  Student  programs  are  broadcast 
regularly.  The  college  studio  is  known  as  the  Lundy  Broadcast- 
ing Studio. 

The  Library  is  building  a  collection  of  films,  filmstrips,  and 
records,  which  will  be  used  in  connection  with  classes,  special  groups 
on  the  campus,  and  for  the  pleasure  and  relaxation  of  students. 

A  special  room  is  equipped  to  carry  on  the  audio-visual  program, 
and  periods  are  designated  for  all  groups  and  classes  who  desire  to 
participate.

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  endownment  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  $200.00  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.) 

Regularly  enrolled  students  carrying  a  normal  schedule  of  from 
12  to  15  hours  of  class  or  laboratory  pay  the  full  tuition  charge. 
Those  students  taking  fewer  than  12  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  $12.50 
for  each  semester  hour  credit.  Because  of  the  individual  attention 
needed,  instruction  in  music  and  art  is  charged  on  a  different  basis. 
Complete   details   are   shown  on  page  24. 

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. 

23 


Upon  the  acceptance  of  a  student  for  admission  to  the  college, 
a  payment  of  $35.00  must  be  sent  to  the  Director  of  Admissions. 
This  payment  is  applied  against  the  general  charges  of  the  semester 
and  serves  as  a  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. 

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,  except  for  veterans  who 
are  attending  under  the  G.  I.  Bill.  The  bookstore  is  open  regis- 
tration day  and  daily  thereafter. 

ACTIVITIES  FEE 

In  support  of  student  activities,  including  athletics,  health,  stu- 
dent publications,  student  organizations,  lectures,  entertainment, 
and  the  Greater  Lycoming  Banquet,  and  for  use  of  the  library  and 
gymnasium,  a  yearly  fee  of  $25.00  (payable  $15.00  first  semester, 
$10.00  second  semester)  is  charged  to  the  residents  and  $20.00  to 
day  students   (payable  $10.00  each  semester). 

ART  AND  MUSIC 

Tuition  for  Music  Majors,  for  all  academic  and  theoretical  re- 
quirements as  well  as  applied  music  (voice,  piano,  organ,  violin, 
instrumental),  is  $225.00  per  semester. 

Special  or  part  time  music  students  are  charged  $40.00  per 
semester  for  one  one-half  hour  lesson  per  week. 

Where  the  organ  or  pianos  are  required  for  practise  a  charge 
of  $5.00  per  semester  for  piano  and  $10.00  per  semester  for 
organ  is  made.     This  is  for  one  period  per  day. 

Tuition  for  Art,  including  all  required  academic  subjects  and 
applied  art,  is  $225.00  per  semester. 

Special  or  part  time  applied  art  students  will  be  charged  $45.00 
for  six  class  periods  per  week   (three  credit  hours). 

Where  Art  is  used  as  an  elective  to  complete  15  credit  hours  for 
a  semester's  work,  an  adjusted  charge  will  be  made. 

24 


DAMAGE  DEPOSIT 

A  damage  deposit  of  $10.00  is  required  of  all  resident  students. 
General  damage  to  dormitory  property  will  be  charged  against 
this  fund.  The  remainder  will  be  returned  to  the  student  at  the 
end  of  the  college  year.  Wherever  possible,  damage  will  be  charged 
to  the  person  directly  responsible.  Damage  and  breakage  to  doors 
and  in  the  room  to  which  the  student  is  assigned  will  be  his  respon- 
sibility.

PARTIAL  PAYMENTS 

For  the  convenience  of  those  who  find  it  impossible  to  follow  the  sched- 
ule of  payments  as  listed  above,  registration  may  be  made  on  partial  pay- 
ment. However,  permission  to  do  so  must  be  obtained  in  advance  from  the 
President  or  Treasurer  and  arrangements  made  to  liquidate  the  entire  bill 
by  the  end  of  the  semester. 

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 

No  grades  will  be  issued,  no  diploma,  certificate,  transcript  of  credits,  or 
certification  of  withdrawal  in  good  standing  will  be  granted  to  any  student 
until  a  satisfactory  settlement  of  all  obligations  has  been  made. 

GUESTS 

Parents  or  guardians  visiting  students  are  the  guests  of  the  College  for 
the  first  twenty-four  hours.  Other  guests  may  be  entertained  if  their  stu- 
dent hosts  pay  the  regular  rates  for  their  entertainment.     In  all  instances, 

26 


the  Business  Office  should  be  notified  in  advance  of  expected  guests,  whether 
parents  or  other  friends,  and  payment  should  be  made  at  that  time.  Faculty

accordance  with  prevailing  rates.

Special  discounts  are  allowed  for  the  following:

whose  scholarship  or  behavior  is  unsatisfactory.

jects in  connection  with  a  regular  course  or  whether  the  student  is  majoring 
in  one  of  these  subjects. 

LOANS 

A  limited  number  of  worthy  students,  members  of  the  Methodist 
Church,  may  secure  loans  from  the  Student  Loan  Fund  administered  by  the 
Board  of  Education  of  that  Church.  Christian  character,  satisfactory 
scholarship,  promise  of  usefulness,  financial  responsibility,  and  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  church  to  which  the  applicant  belongs  are  essential  to  a 
loan.     Each  borrower  must  sign  an  interest-bearing  promissory  note. 

There  are  also  loan  funds  in  the  Philadelphia  and  the  Central  Pennsyl- 
vania Conferences  of  the  Methodist  Church  for  students  from  these  con- 
ferences on  practically  the  same  terms  as  above. 

The  income  from  $10,000.00,  from  the  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  F.  Rich  Loan 
and  Prize  Fund,  is  available  to  a  limited  number  of  students.  Each 
borrower  must  sign  an  interest-bearing  promissory  note.  The  recipients

There  are  opportunities  in  the  College  for  self-help  for  a  number  of 
women  students.  Also  some  men  students  are  able  to  earn  part  of  their 
expenses  in  various  ways  at  the  College,  and  there  are  frequent  opportuni- 
ties for  student  work  in  the  city.

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  one  week  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 
adjustment  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  fifteen  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  life.  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)  include  a  systematic  study  of  the  Bible,  Compara- 
tive Religions,  and  other  pertinent  fields.  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  undergradu- 
ates on  the  campus,  meets  weekly  at  Rich  Hall.     Speakers  include 

35 


many  prominent  civic  leaders,  faculty  members,  and  national  fig- 
ures. This  group  sponsors  many  and  varied  activities  which  aim 
to  promote  fellowship  and  spiritual  life  among  the  faculty  and 
students. 

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  head  of  this 
department  is  also  the  college  chaplain.  He  gives  a  large  portion 
of  his  time  to  promoting  a  helpful  religious  atmosphere  at  the  insti- 
tution and  in  aiding  students  to  solve  successfully  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  functions. 
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  to  provide  a  more  perfect  understanding  between  students  and 
administration. 

Certain  phases  of  dormitory  life  are  supervised  and  regulated 
by  a  student  dormitory  government.  In  this  way  students  are  pro- 
vided the  experience  of  sharing  the  responsibilities  which  are  the 

36 


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. 

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. 

STUDENT  ACTIVITIES 

CAMPUS  GROUPS.  In  addition  to  the  John  Wesley  Club,  Stu- 
dent Christian  Association,  and  the  Student  Government  there  are 
many  and  varied  organizations  on  the  campus  which  provide  stu- 
dents with  an  interesting  and  wholesome  social  life.  These  are 
organized  and  conducted  by  the  students  in  cooperation  with  the 
faculty.  Some  of  these  are  as  follows:  The  International  Rela- 
tions Club,  which  is  the  campus  focus  for  discussion  of  world 
affairs;  The  French  Club,  The  Spanish  Club,  and  The  German 
Club,  which  supplement  class  work  by  aiding  students  to  understand 
the  folklore  of  the  various  peoples  and  to  facilitate  ease  of  conver- 
sation in  the  language;  The  Camera  Club,  which  provides  students 
opportunity  for  developing  a  lifelong  hobby ;  The  Lycoming  College 
Players  which  affords  opportunity  for  acting  and  directing  plays; 
The  Ski  Club,  which  brings  together  a  group  of  enthusiasts  for 
winter  sports;  The  Psychology  Club,  which  schedules  lectures,  dis- 
cussions, and  movies  in  this  field;  the  Varsity  Club,  which  is  com- 
posed of  lettermen,  promotes  college  spirit  in  sports. 

COLLEGE  PUBLICATIONS.  There  are  three  college  publica- 
tions. The  Lycoming  Courier  is  the  official  student  paper,  de- 
voted to  local  interests  of  the  student  body,  reporting  current 
campus  events.  The  Arrow,  the  college  year  book,  is  published 
in  June  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  practises.  The  Alumni  Bulletin,  issued 
six  times  a  year,  keeps  the  alumni  posted  on  current  happenings  at 
the  college  and  on  alumni  activities. 

37 


MUSIC.  The  Music  Department  offers  several  organizations  for 
students  interested  in  music.  A  College  Choir,  Men's  Glee  Club, 
and  Women's  Glee  Club  are  open  to  all  students  desiring  to  join. 
The  Lycoming  Singers,  Women's  Quartette,  Men's  Quartette,  and 
an  A  Cappella  Choir  are  formed  of  selected  voices  and  represent  the 
college  at  many  events.  A  String  Ensemble  gives  instrument 
players  an  opportunity  to  enjoy  the  fellowship  of  good  music  to- 
gether. In  addition  are  the  College  Band  and  Symphony  Orches- 
tra, which  meet  several  times  each  week  for  practice  and  furnish 
the  college  with  music  for  many  entertainments,  athletic  events,  and 
celebrations  throughout  the  year. 

FRATERNITIES.  Six  Greek  letter  groups  on  the  campus  pro- 
vide a  means  of  bringing  to  men  students  the  advantages  of  a  fra- 
ternal organization.  The  social  life  of  the  college  is  carefully 
planned  by  both  administrative  and  student  government  to  be  help- 
ful to  the  individual  student  in  his  social  world. 

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,  swimming,  and  tennis. 
Lycoming  is  a  member  of  the  National  Association  of  Intercol- 
legiate Basketball. 

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 
instruction  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  organiza- 
tions on  the  campus,  the  Lecture  Series,  the  Record  Session,  motion 
pictures,  and  numerous  social  affairs,  offer  programs  of  interest. 

STUDENT  INSURANCE.  By  a  special  group  plan,  our  students 
are  able  to  secure  accident  insurance  covering  medical  and  hospital 
expenses  for  injuries  received  on  the  campus.  Reimbursement  will 
be  made  up  to  $500.00  for  each  accident.  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  the  faculty  member  who  checks  the  class  schedule. 
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. 

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  extraordinary 
situations. 

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.

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

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,  and  study  lamps.

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 

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.

tories. Permission  for  any  exception  to  this  rule  must  be  obtained

class  or  presenting  a  certificate  showing  all  grades  of  college  cer- 
tificate value  may  be  admitted  without  examination. 

Candidates  for  entrance  who  do  not  meet  the  above  require- 
ments for  admission  may  be  accepted  upon  making  a  satisfactory 
score  on  an  aptitude  test. 

TERMINAL  EDUCATION 

In  addition  to  programs  leading  to  the  Baccalaureate  Degree, 
Lycoming  offers  certain  two-year  terminal  courses  in  Art,  Music, 
Medical  Secretarial,  and  Secretarial  Science.  Upon  satisfactory 
completion  of  these  courses  a  certificate  is  awarded  at  the  graduation 
exercises. 

GUIDANCE 

An  advantage  of  a  small  college  is  the  rich  experience  gained  by 
students  and  faculty  knowing  each  other.  In  addition  to  this  val- 
uable personal  relationship,  which  affords  students  the  opportunity 
to  discuss  various  problems  with  their  instructors,  Lycoming  is 
proud  to  announce  that  a  well-rounded  guidance  program  is  avail- 
able to  its  students.  Under  the  direction  of  the  Dean  of  the  College, 
this  program  includes  areas  as  represented  by  the  College  Pastor, 
the  Dean  of  Men,  the  Dean  of  Women,  and  the  Guidance  Director 
with  his  group  of  faculty  advisers.  The  program  begins  with  a  per- 
sonal interview  between  the  Director  of  Admissions  and  the  candi- 
date for  admission.  These  interviews  are  sufficient  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  inter- 
views, 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 

42 


guidance  program,  which  stands  ready  to  help  him  make  an  intelli- 
gent decision  regarding  his  vocational  choice  and  solve  important 
personal  problems. 

SUPERVISION  FOR  STUDENT  PASTORS 

In  cooperation  with  the  Department  of  Town  and  Country  Work 
of  the  General  Board  of  Home  Mission  and  Church  Extension  and 
with  the  Town  and  Country  Commission  of  the  Central  Pennsyl- 
vania Conference  of  the  Methodist  Church,  a  Director  of  Rural 
Training  was  appointed  June  1,  1950.  The  Director,  Assistant 
Professor  of  Sociology,  will  teach  courses  in  rural  sociology,  conduct 
a  weekly  seminar  for  student  pastors,  supervise  accepted  student 
supply  pastors  of  the  Conference  in  the  work  of  their  parishes,  be 
available  for  counseling  ministerial  students,  and  assist  in  other 
rural  church  work.  Projects  such  as  student  deputation  teams, 
demonstration  parishes,  church  and  community  surveys,  and  work- 
shops will  give  students  practical  experience  and  professional  guid- 
ance in  their  choice  of  and  preparation  for  their  vocation.  Through 
such  projects  students  will  represent  the  College  and  will  make  a 
contribution  to  the  church  and  community  of  town  and  country  areas. 

PLACEMENT  SERVICE 

A  placement  service  for  the  students  and  alumni  of  the  college 
was  begun  in  September,  1948. 

The  service  is  designed  to  aid  the  graduate  in  obtaining  positions 
which  make  use  of  college  training. 

The  placement  office  has  made  many  valuable  contacts  with 
employers  throughout  the  United  States.  Locally,  the  service  has 
been  well  accepted. 

The  service  is  designed  as  the  final  step  in  the  total  college 
guidance  program.  The  office  acts  as  the  intermediary  between 
employer  and  graduate  in  all  fields  of  college  activity. 

PROVISION  FOR  VETERANS 

Lycoming  is  fully  approved  for  the  educational  program  for 
Veterans  under  Federal  Public  Laws  346  and  16. 

43 


ADVANCED  STANDING 

A  student  may  be  admitted  to  Lycoming  with  advanced  standing 
provided  he  has  earned  satisfactory  credit  at  an  approved  college. 
Application  for  advanced  standing  must  be  supported  by  an  honor- 
able dismissal  and  an  official  transcript  of  the  college  previously 
attended.  A  student  admitted  with  advance  standing  must  satisfy 
graduation  requirements  to  be  awarded  a  degree. 

Some  academic  credit  may  be  allowed  for  training  courses  and 
educational  experiences  in  the  armed  services  according  to  the 
general  pattern  recommended  by  A  Guide  to  the  Evaluation  of 
Educational  Experiences  in  the  Armed  Services,  issued  by  the 
American  Council  on  Education,  provided  such  courses  or  experi- 
ences are  appropriately  related  to  a  college  of  liberal  arts. 

CLASSIFICATION  OF  STUDENTS 

Freshman:     See  requirements  for  admission. 

Sophomore:     Not   fewer   than   24   semester  hours   and   21    quality 

points. 
Junior:     Not  fewer  than  54  semester  hours  and  48  quality  points. 
Senior:     Not  fewer  than  86  semester  hours  and  90  quality  points, 

and  a  reasonable  chance  of  completing  all  requirements  for 

graduation. 
Unclassified:     Students  who  do  not  wish  to  enter  upon  a  regular 

course  of  study  may  pursue  studies  offered  for  which  their 

previous  training,  in  the  opinion  of  the  College,  fits  them. 

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  letter  system  of  grading  with  the  corresponding  quality 
points  is  used.  "A"  indicates  work  of  the  highest  excellence,  show- 
ing a  superior  grasp  of  the  content,  as  well  as  independent  and 
creative  thinking  in  the  subject,  and  represents  a  numerical  grade 

44 


between  90  and  100.  "B"  signifies  better  than  average  achieve- 
ment wherein  the  student  reveals  insight  and  ability,  and  represents 
a  numerical  grade  between  80  and  89.  "C"  is  given  for  satisfactory 
achievement  on  the  college  level  when  work  in  the  course  has  been 
conscientious  and  has  shown  no  considerable  deficiency  in  either 
quality  or  quantity,  and  represents  a  numerical  grade  between  70 
and  79.  "D"  indicates  that  work  in  the  course  has  met  the  mini- 
mum essentials,  and  represents  a  numerical  grade  of  60  to  69.  "F" 
is  failure,  and  represents  numerical  grades  below  60.  Work  in  the 
course  must  be  repeated  satisfactorily  before  any  credit  can  be 
obtained. 

Scholastic  rank  is  determined  on  the  quality  point  system  where 
"A"  counts  3  quality  points  per  credit  hour,  "B"  counts  2  points  per 
hour,  "C"  counts  1  point  per  hour,  "D"  carries  no  point  value,  and 
"F"  counts  — 1  point  per  hour. 

NORMAL  STUDENT  LOAD 

The  normal  load  per  semester  for  students  is  from  twelve  to 
fifteen  hours  of  academic  work,  one  hour  of  physical  education,  and 
one-half  hour  of  assembly  and  chapel. 

OVER  LOAD 

Students  who  wish  to  carry  in  excess  of  the  normal  load  are 
charged  $12.50  per  credit  hour.  A  schedule  of  more  than  seventeen 
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. 

PROBATION 

Students  whose  grade-point  average  falls  between  .00  and  .5  are 
placed  on  probation.  Students  on  probation  must  maintain  an 
average  of  1.0  in  fifteen  hours  with  fifteen  quality  points  for  a 
semester,  to  be  removed  from  probation. 

DISMISSAL 

Freshmen  who  fail  to  maintain  an  average  of  at  least  .00  the 
first  semester  will  be  asked  to  withdraw  from  the  College.     The 

45 


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. 

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. 

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. 

GRADUATION 

The  College  offers  courses  of  study  leading  to  the  degrees  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Science.  For  either  degree  the 
minimum  requirement  is  the  completion  of  120  academic  hours  plus 
one  hour  credit  of  physical  education  and  one  half  hour  credit  of 
assembly  and  chapel  for  each  fall  and  spring  semester  that  the 
candidate  is  in  attendance  at  Lycoming  College.  In  addition  the 
candidate  must  possess  at  least  120  academic  quality  points  (physi- 
cal education  and  assembly  and  chapel  carry  no  quality  points)  on 
the  basis  of:  A — 3  points  per  credit  hour;  B — 2  points  per  credit 
hour;  C — 1  point  per  credit  hour;  D — 0  points  per  credit  hour. 
The  work  of  the  final  year  is  to  be  taken  at  this  college.

SPECIAL  PROGRAMS 
FOR  STUDY 


Lycoming  is  anxious  to  aid  her  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  Director  of  Admissions,  or,  if  a  returning  student,  with  his 
adviser.

BUSINESS  ADMINISTRATION 

The  Business  Administration  Course  contains  highly  practical  courses 
in  the  field  of  Business  and  Economics.  In  addition,  the  elements  of  a 
broad,  cultural  background  valuable  in  preparation  for  positions  of  an 
administrative  and  executive  nature,  are  retained.  A  suggested  program

LABORATORY  TECHNOLOGY 

It  is  the  aim  of  this  course  to  supply  an  academic  background  of  the 
basic  science  courses  and  then  a  year  of  practical  work  in  the  field.  The 
first  two  years  may  serve  as  a  terminal  course,  while  the  complete  course 
leads  to  the  B.S.  degree  and  greater  professional  opportunities  in  the  medi- 
cal and  hospital  laboratories.

PRE-MINISTERIAL 

In  a  statement  on  pre-seminary  studies  issued  by  the  American  Associa- 
tion of  Theological  Schools,  it  is  suggested  that  a  student  acquire  a  total  of 
90  semester  hours  in  the  areas  listed  below.  A  major  in  English,  history, 
or  the  social  sciences  is  recommended.  Since  some  theological  schools  re- 
quire certain  specified  courses  for  admission,  students  are  advised  to  consult 
the  catalogue  of  the  school  they  are  considering  for  their  theological  training.

PRE-MEDICINE 

The  modern  physician  or  surgeon  is  no  longer  one  who  has  studied 
merely  medicine.  He  is  a  man  with  a  broad  cultural  training,  capable  of 
treating  more  than  physical  ailments.  Therefore,  medical  authorities  are 
recommending  a  full  four  years  of  a  liberal  arts  program,  and  requiring 
certain  specific  subjects  in  preparation  for  medical  school.  A  suggested 
program  is  listed  below:

PRE-DENTISTRY 

The  American  Council  on  Dental  Education  has  fixed  a  minimum  of 
two  full  years  of  college  work  as  a  requirement  for  entrance  to  dental 
schools.  However,  a  four-year  course  is  recommended  and  the  trend  to-

MUSIC 

The  Music  Course  is  a  two-year  course  open  to  those  who  are  regularly 
enrolled  at  Lycoming  College.  Other  students  attending  Lycoming  who 
are  not  registered  in  the  Music  Course  may  enroll  for  music  courses  with 
the  consent  of  the  Dean  of  the  College  and  the  Department  Chairman. 
It  is  possible  to  obtain  credit  toward  degrees  granted  by  the  College  for 
certain  of  these  courses  taken  as  electives.  Permission  to  do  this,  how- 
ever, must  be  obtained  from  the  Dean  of  the  College  in  writing  and  filed 
with  the  Registrar. 

Musical  excellence  in  both  the  fields  of  fine  technical  musicianship  and 
artistic  performance  is  sought  in  every  branch  of  musical  work  at  Lycom- 
ing. Special  attention  is  called  to  the  advantages  of  the  thorough-going 
fundamental  training  afforded  students  who  desire  to  matriculate  in  a 
regular  professional  school  of  music.  Class  and  public  recitals  are  held 
frequently  to  afford  students  the  opportunity  to  achieve  poise  in  per- 
formance. Instrumental  and  vocal  ensemble  work  hold  an  important  place 
in  the  curriculum,  and  are  therefore  required.  Class  sessions  and  private 
lessons  are  taught  in  conformity  to  the  college  calendar,  and  absences  are 
dealt  with  in  accordance  with  the  college  policy.

GIFTS    AND    BEQUESTS 

Extension  of  many  of  the  services  rendered  by  the 
College  must  depend  upon  the  generosity  of  private  bene- 
factors. A  gift  or  bequest  in  any  amount  will  be  helpful 
in  advancing  human  knowledge  and  in  providing  addi- 
tional educational  opportunities  for  the  youth  who  attend 
Lycoming  College. 

The  President  of  the  College  will  be  glad  to  discuss 
the  needs  and  projects  of  the  College  with  interested 
persons,  and  to  suggest  means  for  achieving  the  object 
of  their  benefactions. 

FORM    OF    BEQUEST 

To  the  Trustees  of  Lycoming  College,   I  give  and 

bequeath  the  sum  of  $ to  be  used  by  said 

Trustees  for  the  uses  and  purposes  of  said  Corporation.
