GENERAL INFORMATION

THE COLLEGE

Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution. It is co-educa-
tional and provides facilities for both day and boarding students.
The four year program offers courses of study leading to Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. In addition, certain two-
year terminal programs are available.

LOCATION

The college is located near the center of the city of Williams-
port, Pennsylvania, on a slight eminence, which causes the institu-
tion to be affectionately referred to as "The College upon the Hill-
top." Its stately elms, maples, and numerous shrubs form an attrac-
tive setting for the college buildings.

Williamsport itself is known as "The Queen City of the West
Branch of the Susquehanna River," and is on the famed Susque-
hanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York, and Washington,
D. C. It is famed for its picturesque scenery, its beautiful homes,
and the culture and kindness of its people. The Pennsylvania and
Reading 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

of Williamsport, under the leadership of Reverend Benjamin H.
Crever, hearing that the Academy was about to be discontinued,
proposed to accept the school and conduct it as a Methodist educa-
tional institution. Their offer was accepted, and completely reor-
ganized with a new president and faculty, it opened September,
1848, as Dickinson Seminary, under the patronage of the old Balti-
more Conference. It was acquired in 1869 and is still owned by the
Preachers' Aid Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of
the Methodist Church, and is regularly chartered under the laws of
the state of Pennsylvania. It is a non-profit institution. All of its
earnings as well as the generous gifts of its friends have been spent
for maintenance and improvements.

During a large part of its history, its curriculum covered the
work now included in a high school course and at the same time
included about two years of college work. By its original charter
it was empowered to grant degrees, which authority was for a time
exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself to the college prepara-
tory field and continued in that field until 1929. From that date
until June, 1947, it operated as a preparatory school and junior
college.

The increased college attendance following the war and trends
in higher education in recent years clearly indicated a need for more
four year colleges. After giving the matter careful consideration,
the Board of Directors, at a special meeting January, 1947, author-
ized and set in motion plans to adopt a four year college program.
The college preparatory department was discontinued June, 1948.
In the same year, after approval of the Pennsylvania Department
of Education, the charter was amended to include the power to
grant Baccalaureate Degrees. The name of the institution was
then officially changed to Lycoming College. Lycoming is an Indian
name closely associated with this region from early colonial days.

AIM

It is the aim of Lycoming College to provide to qualified stu-
dents education of such a nature as to supply the background for
a more intelligent understanding and appreciation of the economic,
political, historical, social, scientific, esthetic, and religious aspects

The Gymnasium

of life. In addition to the broad, general education, courses pre-
paratory to specialization in law, medicine, dentistry, engineering,
and business, or courses preparatory to graduate work in some field
of concentration are offered. Terminal education is available in
Art, Medical Technology, Medical Secretarial, Music, and Secre-
tarial Science.

BUILDINGS

OLD MAIN. The Main Building is an imposing structure of
brick occupying the central part of the campus. In this building
are administrative and faculty offices, class rooms, men's day room,
lounge, and dormitories for men.

RICH HALL. Dedicated October 15, 1948, Lycoming's modern,
brick, women's dormitory is of Georgian Colonial style and fireproof
in construction. This beautiful building houses 120 young women.
Each suite of two rooms has private bath facilities which are shared
by four students. Lounges are conveniently located for entertain-
ing guests and for small student meetings. Also located in the
building are the Infirmary and nurse's quarters, game rooms, and
the women's day room. The building has been completely furnished
with new and attractive furnishings.

EVELAND HALL. Eveland Hall is also of red pressed brick,
and is a modern fire-proof building. The basement houses the
heating plant. A modern chemistry laboratory and class rooms
occupy the first floor. The second and third floors contain dormi-
tories.

FRANKLIN STREET HALL. A large private home has been
converted into dormitory and living quarters, arranged to accom-
modate approximately twenty men. It is currently occupied by
the colony of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

CLARKE MEMORIAL. This building was made possible by the
bequest of Miss Martha B. Clarke, of the class of 1862, as a
memorial to her brothers and herself. It is designed in colonial
style, is of fireproof construction, and houses tlie 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.

JOHN W. LONG LIBRARY. The John W. Long Library was
dedicated and formally opened October 20, 1951. Constructed of
brick in Georgian Colonial style, this imposing building is located
on the east side of the campus directly across the athletic field from
Rich Hall. The interior is so designed that floor space is adaptable
to various modifications in arrangement. The library has space for
100,000 volumes and seats 250 students. It is excellently equipped
throughout and is illuminated by lights of the newest design which
are located in ceiling panels.

The large reading room, periodical and reference rooms, offices,
typing room, and beautifully furnished recreational reading room
are located on the first floor. On the ground floor is a faculty
reading room. Two audio-visual rooms, one to accommodate sev-
enty-five students and one for twenty students, with a film projec-
tion booth and storage room between, are located on the second floor.
They are equipped with film projectors for showing films, filmstrips,
slides, and other visual material. Two rooms designed for listening
to records and equipped with turntables for group and individual
listening are also on the second floor. The rare book and historical
data room, seminar rooms, and individual study and typing rooms
occupy one wing of this floor.

There are now more than 26,500 volumes in the library, and
this number is being augmented rapidly. An excellent list of
reference works has been provided. A group of books for general
reading has also been included in oi'der to stimulate student interest
in books not directly related to specific courses.

The library currently subscribes to 260 periodicals which cover
all subject fields offered by the college; ten newspapers, including

three in foreign languages ; and seven periodical indexing and
bibliographical services.

There are 280 albums of literary, foreign language, dictation,
social science, and musical recordings. This record collection is in
the library for the use of various departments and the students.

A full-time professionally trained librarian, three assistant
librarians, and a secretary to the librarian are in charge of the
library. Student assistants are employed as needed. This staff is
available to help in locating reference material and in preparing
bibliographies.

BRADLEY HALL. Bradley Hall, a four story building, is con-
structed of red brick^ and contains the Dramatic Studio, the Lundy
Radio Broadcasting Studio, the Business Administration offices and
one floor of men's dormitories.

MEMORIAL HALL. Memorial Hall was dedicated on Novem-
ber 1, 1947. It is a three-story building and has floor space of 8,000
square feet. It contains class rooms, departmental offices, and the
biology and physics laboratories. This building, erected through
the cooperation of the college and the Federal Works Agency, is
attractively faced with red brick.

FINE ARTS. The Fine Arts building is located at the northern
end of the campus. Three large studios and several smaller prac-
tice rooms on the first floor are occupied by the Music Department.
The Art Department is located on the second floor and has the
advantage of northern lighting. There also are private studios and
conference rooms for members of the faculty. The building is well
equipped and attractively furnished throughout.

THE GYMNASIUM. Lycoming is fortunate in having a splendid
modern gymnasium, which is a popular center of activities. The
building is 110 feet by 88 feet, beautifully designed and of semi-
fireproof construction.

The basement includes a modern swimming pool 20 by 60 feet,
equipped with a sterilization and filtration plant.

There are also two bowling alleys of latest design, and separate
rooms and showers for both home and visiting teams. Provision is
made for private dressing rooms and shower rooms for women.

The gymnasium floor proper is 90 by 65 feet with a stage at the
easterly end. The main floor can readily be converted into an audi-
torium suitable for recitals or more pretentious productions.

ATHLETIC FIELD. Built partially on the site of the old
athletic field, the new field runs north and south, beginning directly
behind the gymnasium and dining hall, and extending to the terrace
just off Washington Boulevard on the north. Ample room is pro-
vided for tennis courts and football field and other intramural sports
with bleachers which accommodate 1,000 people.

THE PRESIDENT'S HOME. The architectural style of the
President's Home harmonizes with the Fine Arts building and with
it forms an imposing unit at the northwest corner of the campus.

AUDIO-VISUAL SERVICES

Special audio-visual equipment includes a 16 mm. sound moving
picture projector, a silent projector, one two-by-two slide projector,
one combination two-by-two slide and 35 mm. filmstrip projector, a
radio, a tape recorder, a wire recorder, two public address systems, a
micro-film reader, a micro-card reader, and four turntables for rec-
ords. Connected with two turntables are ear-phones which makes it
possible for several students to listen to different records at the
same time without disturbing one another.

A collection of films, filmstrips, micro films, micro cards, and
records is being built which is being used in connection with classes,
special groups on the campus, and for the pleasure and relaxation of
students. One-half of the second floor of the new John W. Long
Library is equipped to carry on the audio-visual program.

Through the generosity of the Lundy Construction Company,
a Radio Studio has been installed on the ground floor of Bradley
Hall where students may be trained in radio speech, announcing,
and script writing. The equipment is linked with the local radio
station, WRAK, an NBC afl^liate.

FINANCIAL
INFORMATION

GENERAL

In considering the expenses of college, it is well to bear in
mind that no student actually pays the full cost of his education.
State colleges are enabled to keep the cost of tuition within reason-
able limits by grants from the public treasury ; independent colleges
achieve this by voluntary contributions supplemented by income
from their invested endowment funds. At Lycoming College, a non-
profit institution, the tuition fee which each student pays represents
approximately three-fourths of the total instruction cost. Tuition
is kept at the lowest possible minimum consistent with adequate
facilities and competent instruction.

Tuition at Lycoming is $225.00 per semester, plus certain fees
which are listed on the following pages. The present cost of Room
and Board per semester is $275.00 for women and $260.00 for men.
(The academic year comprises two semesters of approximately six-
teen weeks each.)

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 $15.00
for each semester hour credit. Because of the individual attention
needed, instruction in music and art is charged on a different basis,
as is indicated on page 22.

APPLICATION FEE AND DEPOSIT

Every student who desires admission is required to send a
registration fee of $10.00 with the application. This payment
partially covers administrative costs of handling the application.
The fee is not refundable.

After a resident student is notified that he has been accepted
for admission by the college, he must send a payment of $35.00 to
the Director of Admissions. This payment is applied against the
general charges of the semester and serves as a room reservation
deposit. It will not be refunded unless notice is received at least
30 days prior to the beginning of the semester that the student will
be unable to attend.

In order to reserve the room selected by a returning student,
the student must have a room deposit of $25.00 paid on or before
July 15, 1953. This amount will be applicable to the general
charges of the semester.

BOOKS AND SUPPLIES

A modern book and supply store is conveniently located on the
campus. Books and supplies are purchased by the individual stu-
dent. The estimated cost is approximately $50.00 per year, but
will vary somewhat in accordance with the course of study which
the student is pursuing. Terms are cash. The bookstore is open
registration day and daily thereafter.

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 art and music majors is higher than the other
courses of study. In these programs best results are obtained by
individual instruction ; consequently the expense is greater. The
cost in excess of the normal tuition varies according to the student's
program of study but does not exceed $50.00 per semester. The
exact cost is determined at the time of registration.

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

A charge of $5.00 per semester for piano and $10.00 per semes-
ter for organ is made when these instruments are required for
practice. These rates are for one period per day for each lesson
scheduled.

Special or part time applied art students will be charged $50.00
for six class periods per week (three credit hours).

DAMAGE CHARGES

Wherever possible, damage to dormitory property will be
charged to the person or persons directly responsible. Damage and
breakage occurring in a room will be the responsibility of students
occupying the room.

Halls and bathroom damage will be the responsibility of all
students of the section where damage occurs. Actual cost of repairs
will be charged.

STUDENT LIFE

PROVISION FOR FRESHMEN

The college recognizes the need for giving the freshmen assist-
ance in making desirable adjustments to the college situation. A
special program has been prepared for the orientation of freshmen.

All freshmen are required to come to the college several days in
advance of the upper-classmen. During this time various tests are
given which will aid the college staff in advising the student in his
choice of courses. During this period problems of freshmen ad-
justment are discussed, and directions for study, tlie use of the
library, and other instructional aids are given. Provision is also
made for recreation and a wholesome social life.

RELIGIOUS TRADITION

Lycoming College is a Methodist educational institution. How-
ever, it is non-sectarian. A check of the Board of Directors, the
faculty, and the student body indicates membership in twenty dif-
ferent denominations including Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish.
Traditionally, the college attempts to help students of all faiths find
the place of religion in their lives. Students attend Sunday morning
services at churches in the city. Each student is encouraged to be
loyal to the church of his choice.

The college aims to stress the development and practice of a
Christian philosophy of life. Courses in Religion (optional with
non-Protestants) include a systematic study of the Bible. Religious
emphasis week brings to the college campus outstanding religious
leaders. Many of the chapel and assembly programs are religious
in nature. The Student Christian Association, membership open
to all undergraduates on the campus, meets weekly at Rich Hall.
Speakers include many prominent civic leaders, faculty members,
and national figures. This group sponsors many and varied activi-
ties 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 Depa'rtment
of Religion has been established at the College. The department
head gives a large portion of his time to promoting a helpful relig-
ious atmosphere at the institution and to aiding students toward
a successful solution of personal problems which arise while they
are on the campus.

CULTURAL INFLUENCES

Lycoming aims to develop in its students an easy familiarity
with the best social forms and customs. Young men and women
meet in the dining hall, at receptions and other social 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 of providing a more perfect understanding between students
and administration.

Certain phases of dormitory life are supervised and regulated
by student dormitory governments. In this way students are pro-
vided the experience of sharing the responsibilities which are the
outgrowth of living closely with each other. The Dean of Women
and the Dean of Men exercise an over-all supervisory influence on
dormitory life.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

CAMPUS GROUPS. In addition to the John Wesley Club, Stu-
dent Christian Association, and the Student Government, there are

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 Foreign Language Club, which supplements class work
by aiding students to understand the folklore of the various peoples
and facilitates ease of conversation in the language; The Lycoming
College Players, which affords opportunity for acting and directing
plays as demonstration of the work in the dramatic courses of the
curriculum; The 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 four college publica-
tions. The Lycoming Courier is the official student paper, devoted
to local interests of the student body, reporting current campus
events. The Arrow, the college year book, is published in May
and presents a record of student life during the current academic
year. The staffs of both publications are composed of students
interested in gaining more knowledge and experience in journalism
and business practices. The Alumni Bulletin, issued six times a
year, keeps the alumni posted on current happenings at the college
and on alumni activities. The Guidepost, published by the Student
Government, is a student handbook of regulations and miscellaneous
information which is distributed during the first week of school.

MUSIC. The Music Department offers several organizations for
students interested in music. A College Choir, 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, there are the College Band and Symphony
Orchestra, which meet several times each week for practice. These
furnish the college with music for many entertainments, athletic
events, and celebrations throughout the year.

FRATERNITIES. Five Greek letter groups on the campus pro-
vide a means of bringing to men students the advantages of a
fraternal organization. They include the Psi colony of Kappa
Delta Rho, Lambda Chi Alpha colony, and the Nu chapter of
Alpha Gamma Upsilon, as well as two locals, Zeta Delta Kappa
and Zeta Tau Beta, a professional business fraternity.

The Inter-Fraternity Council coordinates the activities of the
fraternities.

RECREATION AND HEALTH

INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS. The college offers an attrac-
tive program of intercollegiate athletics. Varsity teams represent
the college in competition with other four year institutions in such
sports as basketball, baseball, and tennis. Lycoming is a member
of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Conference and the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association.

RECREATION. An extensive program of intramural athletics
affords opportunity for every student not a member of a varsity
team to participate in one or more sports. These are run in con-
nection with the required physical education program. Basic in-
struction in game techniques is given in physical education class,
and the intramural program affords opportunity for individual and
team competition. Some of these sports are tennis, swimming,
basketball, handball, badminton, bowling, volleyball, softball, and
table tennis for both women and men; rhythmical activities, field
hockey and archery, for women; boxing, touch football, and water
polo for men.

In addition to the athletic recreation program, various organi-
zations on the campus, the Lecture Series, motion pictures, and
numerous social affairs offer programs of interest.

STUDENT INSURANCE. By a special group plan, our students
are able to secure accident 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 a faculty member from the Physical Education
department.

In connection with the physical examination, all entering stu-
dents must have a chest X-ray. If this cannot be arranged before
entering, the Tuberculosis Society will take chest X-rays at a nomi-
nal cost. The student bears the expense of the X-ray.

INFIRMARY SERVICE. The infirmary fee, included in the
over-all activities fee, covers the following medical service: the
college nurse holds infirmary hours each day, except Sunday, that
the college dormitories are open; she is also available for first aid
treatment and will call to the attention of the college physician any
case demanding special treatment.

Such service, however, shall not be interpreted to include X-
rays, surgery of more than minor nature, care of major accidents
on or off campus, immunization for colds, examination for glasses,
doctors' calls, cases of serious chronic disorder, or other extraor-
dinary situation.

Each student is entitled to three days of infirmary service per
school year, including routine nursing and ordinary medicines.
There will be a charge of $2.00 per day for each additional day or
fraction thereof beyond the allotted days.

Special nursing service and special medicines and prescriptions
will be at the expense of the student. Parents will be notified by
the College when students are confined to the infirmary with serious
illnesses.

RESIDENT STUDENT LIFE

Living quarters are provided on the campus for 140 women and
215 men. Efforts are made each year to keep the dormitories in
such repair that they constitute comfortable and attractive homes
for tlie students.

Rooms at Lycoming are furnished as follows : desk, bureau,
chair, single bed, mattress, and pillow. Students must supply their
own bed linen, blankets, study lamps, and alarm clocks.

The students will make their own arrangements for laundry ser-
vice. A local laundry has a representative on campus for the con-

venience of all boarding students. It is recommended that the
student bring a minimum of six sheets (single bed), three pillow
cases, and two double blankets.

DISCIPLINE

The discipline of the College is firm, reasonable, and sympa-
thetic. All students are considered responsible citizens and mem-
bers of a Christian community. Any student who is antagonistic
to the spirit and general purpose, or who fails to abide by the
regulations set up by the College, may be asked to withdraw from
the College at any time during the school year.

REGULATIONS

It is understood that students entering Lycoming do so with the
intention of making an honest effort to do satisfactory work in every
respect. When a student is not able to conform to the school pro-
gram, the parents or guardians are asked to withdraw the student
from the school.

The College regulations, in addition to those published here, are
furnished each student upon matriculation. Announcements dur-
ing the year by college authorities maj^ amend or supplement the
catalogue regulations and are to be adhered to as such.

Students from a distance are required to reside in the dormi-
tories. Permission for any exception to this rule must be obtained
from the administration. When such permission is granted, the

has a well-rounded guidance program for its students. Under the
direction of the Dean of the College, this program includes areas
as represented by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the
Guidance Director with his group of faculty advisers. The program
begins with a personal interview between the Director of Admis-
sions and the candidate for admission. These interviews are suf-
ficient in length to obtain a picture of the student, his background,
and his plans for the future. When the student enters the College
as a Freshman, he is given the opportunity to take aptitude and
psychological examinations. On the basis of preparatory or high
school records, aptitude and psychological examination scores, and
various interviews, an evaluation of the student can be formed.

Additional information is obtained as the student progresses
through his college life. His welfare is the sole purpose of the
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 tlie 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 Penn-
sylvania 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

The Placement Bureau maintains a register listing the talents
and major interests of students and recent alumni. Literature
from businesses and industrial associations is kept available. Con-
sultations with the Placement Director assist students toward wise
selection of a profession. Interviews are then scheduled when
students meet and confer with representatives from companies in
which they are interested. The goal of the Bureau is to make the
best possible connection for each graduate. Lycoming graduates
are usually placed before commencement.

There are many diversified businesses in Williamsport. These
firms give students at Lycoming splendid opportunities for visits,
tours, and career conferences. They also afford our student body a
variety of part-time jobs during each college session. The Place-
ment Bureau serves as a clearinghouse for part-time employment
and can usually find work for every student needing it. Normally
the demand exceeds our supply of available workers.

PROVISION FOR VETERANS

Lycoming is fully approved for the educational program for
Veterans under Federal Public I-aws 346. 16, and 550.

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.

Junior: Not fewer than 54 semester hours.

Senior: Not fewer than 86 semester hours 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 number system of grading with the corresponding quality
points is used. "3" indicates work of the highest excellence, show-
ing a superior grasp of the content, as well as independent and
creative thinking in the subject. "2" signifies better than average
achievement wherein the student reveals insight and ability. "1" is
given for satisfactory achievement on the college level when work in

the course has been conscientious and has shown no considerable de-
ficiency in either quality or quantity. "0" indicates that work in
the course has met the minimum essentials. "-1" is failure. Work
failed must be repeated satisfactorily before any credit can be
obtained for that course.

Scholastic rank is determined on the quality point system where
"3" counts 3 quality points per credit hour, "2" counts 2 points per
hour, "1" counts 1 point per hour, "0" carries no point value, and
"-1" counts -1 point per hoiir.

NORMAL STUDENT LOAD

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

OVER LOAD

Students who wish to carry in excess of the normal load are
charged $15.00 per credit hour. A schedule of more than seventeen
hours of academic work may be taken if the student has an average
of 2.0 for all previous work and obtains written permission from
the Dean of the College or has an average below 2.0 and receives
the written permission of a special committee.

PROBATION

Students whose grade-point average falls between .00 and .5 are
placed on probation. Students on probation must maintain an
average of 1.0 for a normal load for a semester, or during a summer
to be removed from probation.

DISMISSAL

Freshmen who fail to maintain an average of at least .00 the
first year shall be asked to withdraw from the College. The
College also reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant
or to dismiss any student at any time if the administration considers
such action to be for the best interests of the student or the College,
Students dismissed for academic reasons may request reinstatement
after one semester.

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.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

The college offers courses of study leading to the degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. For either degree the
minimum requirements are:
120 academic hours, including required courses and one major of

at least 24 hours.
120 or more academic quality points on the basis of: "3" — 3 points

per credit hour; "2" — 2 points per credit hour; "1" — 1 point

per credit hour; "0" — 0 points per credit hour.
4 semester hours credit of physical education (not included in the

120 academic hours).
Chapel credit for each fall and spring semester of attendance at

Lycoming College (% of number of chapel periods per

semester).
One course in Bible for all Protestant students.
All financial obligations incurred at the college must be paid.
The work of the final year is to be taken at this college, except in

the case of students enrolling in the cooperative programs

in engineering or forestry as outlined on page 65.

PROGRAMS FOR STUDY

Lycoming is anxious to aid its students to prepare for living a
normal, well-adjusted life, as well as to prepare them for a variety
of careers. The growing belief in professional schools that the
best preliminary training is a broad cultural education has added
new emphasis to the type of program now offered by Lycoming.
This program offers a general education, conceded as necessary to a
well-rounded individual living in today's ever smaller world, and
yet is equipped to add more specialized courses so that a student
looking forward to a particular career may specialize in the field
of Iiis 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 sufiicient demand. It is
recommended, therefore, that the student discuss his proposed plan
with the Registrar, or, if a returning student, with his adviser.

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 liberal arts program and are requiring
certain specific subjects in preparation for medical school.
