GENERAL  INFORMATION 


THE  COLLEGE 

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

LOCATION 

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

Williamsport  itself  is  known  as  "The  Queen  City  of  the  West 
Branch  of  the  Susquehanna  River,"  and  is  on  the  famed  Susque- 
hanna Trail,  midway  between  Buffalo,  New  York,  and  Washington, 
D.  C.  It  is  famed  for  its  picturesque  scenery,  its  beautiful  homes, 
and  the  culture  and  kindness  of  its  people.  The  Pennsylvania  rail- 
road, with  its  fast  trains,  and  the  Lakes-to-Sea  and  the  Greyhound 
busses  put  it  within  two  hours  of  Harrisburg,  four  and  a  half  hours 
of  Philadelphia,  and  six  hours  of  Pittsburgh  and  New  York.  Cap- 
ital, TWA,  and  Allegheny  Airlines  place  the  time  at  forty  minutes  to 
Harrisburg,  an  hour  and  ten  minutes  to  Philadelphia,  one  hour  and 
fifteen  minutes  to  New  York,  and  about  three  hours  to  Boston. 
Highway  routes  14,  15,  and  220  pass  through  the  city. 

HISTORY 

Lycoming  College  has  a  long  and  varied  history  of  service  in  the 
educational  field.  Founded  in  1812,  it  was  known  for  a  period  of 
thirty-six  years  as  Williamsport  Academy.     In  1848  a  group  of  men 

15 


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

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

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

AIM 

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

ing guests  and  for  small  student  meetings.  Also  located  in  the 
building  are  the  Infirmary  and  nurse's  quarters,  game  rooms,  and 
the  women's  day  room.  The  building  has  been  completely  furnished 
with  new  and  attractive  furnishings. 

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

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

CLARKE  MEMORIAL.  This  building  was  made  possible  by  the 
bequest  of  Miss  Martha  B.  Clarke,  of  the  class  of  1862,  as  a 
memorial  to  her  brothers  and  herself.  It  is  designed  in  colonial 
style,  is  of  fireproof  construction,  and  houses  the  chapel  and  the 
dining  hall.  The  chapel  which  seats  six  hundred,  has  excellent 
acoustics,  provides  facilities  for  devotional  services,  assemblies, 
dramatics,  concerts,  and  lectures. 

17 


The  dining  hall,  on  the  first  floor,  is  arranged  with  separate 
entrances  and  with  coat  rooms  and  wash  rooms  for  men  and  women. 
It  opens  on  a  terrace  overlooking  the  campus  and  athletic  field. 
Effort  has  been  made  to  produce  a  comfortable,  home-like  room. 
Either  table  service  or  cafeteria  service  is  possible. 

The  erection  of  this  building  fits  into  the  plan  of  an  attractive 
quadrangle.  On  the  north  the  open  campus  extends  to  Washington 
Boulevard. 

JOHN  W.  LONG  LIBRARY.  The  John  W.  Long  Library  was 
dedicated  and  formally  opened  October  20,  1961.  Constructed  of 
brick  in  Georgian  Colonial  style,  this  imposing  building  is  located 
on  the  east  side  of  the  campus  directly  across  the  athletic  field  from 
Rich  Hall.  The  interior  is  so  designed  that  floor  space  is  adaptable 
to  various  modifications  in  arrangement.  The  library  has  space  for 
100,000  volumes  and  seats  250  students.  It  is  excellently  equipped 
throughout  and  is  illuminated  by  lights  of  the  newest  design  which 
are  located  in  ceiling  panels. 

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

There  are  now  more  than  29,000  volumes  in  the  library,  and 
this  number  is  being  augmented  rapidly.  An  excellent  list  of 
reference  works  has  been  provided.  A  group  of  books  for  general 
reading  has  also  been  included  in  order  to  stimulate  student  interest 
in  books  not  directly  related  to  specific  courses. 

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

18 


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

There  are  310  albums  of  literary,  foreign  language,  dictation, 
social  science,  and  musical  recordings.  This  record  collection  is  in 
the  library  for  the  use  of  various  departments  and  the  students. 

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

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

MEMORIAL  HALL.  Memorial  Hall  was  dedicated  on  Novem-

square  feet.  It  contains  class  rooms,  departmental  offices,  and  the 
biology  and  physics  laboratories.  This  building,  erected  through 
the  cooperation  of  the  college  and  the  Federal  Works  Agency,  is 
attractively  faced  vrith  red  brick. 

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

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

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

19 


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

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

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

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

AUDIO-VISUAL  SERVICES 

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

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

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

FINANCIAL 
INFORMATION 


GENERAL 

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

Tuition  at  Lycoming  is  $225.00  per  semester,  plus  certain  fees 
which  are  listed  on  the  following  pages.  The  present  cost  of  Room 
and  Board  per  semester  is  $275,00  for  women  and  $260.00  for  men. 
(The  academic  year  comprises  two  semesters  of  approximately  six- 
teen weeks  each.)  If  a  student  requests  to  use  a  double  room  as  a 
single  room,  he  will  be  charged  50%  more  than  regular  rates. 

Regularly  enrolled  students  carrying  a  normal  schedule  of  from 
13  to  15  hours  of  class  or  laboratory  pay  the  full  tuition  charge. 
Those  students  taking  fewer  than  1,3  hours  of  work  per  semester, 
or  fewer  than  6  hours  of  work  per  semester  in  the  summer  session, 
are  charged  $15.00  per  credit  hour.  Additional  credits  beyond 
the  normal  schedule  of  15  hours  are  charged  at  the  rate  of  $16,00 
for  each  semester  hour  credit.  Because  of  the  individual  attention 
needed,  instruction  in  music  and  art  is  charged  on  a  different  basis, 
as  is  indicated  on  page  22. 

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

21 


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

In  order  to  reserve  the  room  selected  by  a  returning  student, 
the  student  must  have  a  room  deposit  of  $25.00  paid  on  or  before 
August  1,  1954.  This  amount  will  be  applicable  to  the  general 
charges  of  the  semester. 

BOOKS  AND  SUPPLIES 

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

ART  AND  MUSIC 

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

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

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

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

charges  will  be  due  and  payable. 

All  discounts,  scholarships,  and  earnings  from  college  employment  will 

be  applied  to  the  student's  account  at  the  end  of  the  semester. 

23 


PARTIAL  PAYMENTS 

For  the  convenience  of  those  who  find  it  impossible  to  follow  the  sched- 
ule of  payments  as  listed,  the  College  has  made  arrangements  with  The 
Tuition  Plan,  Incorporated,  for  the  monthly  payment  of  college  fees.  Addi- 
tional information  concerning  partial  payments  may  be  obtained  from  the 
President  or  Treasurer. 


WITHDRAWALS  AND  REFUNDS 

The  date  on  which  the  Dean  of  the  College  approves  the  student's  with- 
drawal sheet  is  considered  the  official  date  of  withdrawal.  In  the  case  of 
minors,  the  approval  of  the  parent  or  guardian  is  required  before  the  with- 
drawal is  approved  and  before  any  refund  is  made. 

Room  rentals  have  been  fixed  on  a  semester  basis.  Consequently,  stu- 
dents leaving  college  prior  to  the  ending  of  a  semester  will  not  be  entitled  to 
any  refund  on  room  rent.  Board  will  be  pro-rated  by  the  week  over  the 
period  of  attendance. 

Refund  of  tuition  will  be  made  to  students  who  withdraw  voluntarily 
from  the  College  while  in  good  standing  and  is  fixed  on  the  following  basis: 
Students  leaving  during  the  first  four-week  period  are  charged  30% ;  during 
the  second  four  weeks  60% ;  during  the  third  four  weeks,  90% ;  after  twelve 
weeks,  full  charge. 

Dropping  a  subject  from  the  original  schedule  after  the  second  week  of 
either  semester  will  not  justify  any  claim  for  refund  of  tuition  charges. 
Written  permission  to  drop  the  subject  must  be  obtained  from  the  Admis- 
sions Office.  No  refund  will  be  made  to  those  students  who  are  asked  to 
withdraw  from  college. 

Other  fees  cannot  be  refunded  for  any  reason  whatever. 

PENALTY  FOR  NON-PAYMENT  OF  FEES 

A  student  will  not  be  registered  for  courses  in  a  new  semester  if  his 
account  for  previous  attendance  has  not  been  settled. 

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

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. 

24

STUDENT  LIFE 


PROVISION  FOR  FRESHMEN 

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

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

RELIGIOUS  TRADITION 

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

The  college  aims  to  stress  the  development  and  practice  of  a 
Christian  philosophy  of  life.  Courses  in  Religion  (optional  with 
non-Protestants  who  may  substitute  a  course  in  Philosophy)  include 
a  systematic  study  of  the  Bible.  Religious  emphasis  week  brings  to 
the  college  campus  outstanding  religious  leaders.  Many  of  the 
chapel  and  assembly  programs  are  religious  in  nature.  The  Student 
Christian  Association,  membership  open  to  all  undergraduates  on 
the  campus,  meets  weekly  at  Rich  Hall.  Speakers  include  many 
prominent  civic  leaders,  faculty  members,  and  national  figures.  This 
group  sponsors  many  and  varied  activities  which  aim  to  promote  fel- 
lowship and  spiritual  life  among  the  faculty  and  students. 

33 


The  John  Wesley  Club  is  composed  of  students  preparing  for 
the  ministry  or  other  forms  of  religious  work.  Through  regular 
meetings  and  deputation  teams,  they  gain  valuable  training  and  ex- 
perience in  religious  work. 

Through  the  generosity  of  the  late  Honorable  M.  B.  Rich,  for 
eighteen  years  President  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  a  Department 
of  Religion  has  been  established  at  the  College.  The  department 
head  gives  a  large  portion  of  his  time  to  promoting  a  helpful  relig- 
ious atmosphere  at  the  institution  and  to  aiding  students  toward 
a  successful  solution  of  personal  problems  which  arise  while  they 
are  on  the  campus. 

CULTURAL  INFLUENCES 

Lycoming  aims  to  develop  in  its  students  an  easy  familiarity 
with  the  best  social  forms  and  customs.  Young  men  and  women 
meet  in  the  dining  hall,  at  receptions  and  other  social  functiens. 
These  contacts,  together  with  frequent  talks  by  instructors,  do  much 
to  develop  poise  and  social  ease.  Persons  of  prominence  are 
brought  to  the  school  for  talks  and  lectures,  and  excellent  talent  is 
provided  by  community  organizations  which  bring  outstanding 
artists  to  the  city. 

STUDENT  GOVERNMENT 

The  college  aims  to  develop  in  each  student  a  sense  of  loyalty 
and  responsibility  to  good  citizenship.  To  this  end  there  is  estab- 
lished a  Student  Government  representing  the  entire  student  body 
with  the  purpose  of  promoting  the  general  welfare  of  the  college 
and  of  providing  a  more  perfect  understanding  between  students 
and  administration. 

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

STUDENT  ACTIVITIES 

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

34 


varied  organizations  on  the  campus  which  provide  students  with  an 
interesting  and  wholesome  social  life.  These  are  organized  and  con- 
ducted by  the  students  in  cooperation  with  the  faculty.  Some  of 
these  are  as  follows :  The  International  Relations  Club,  which  is  the 
campus  focus  for  discussion  of  world  affairs ;  the  Foreign  Language 
Club,  which  supplements  class  work  by  aiding  students  to  under- 
stand the  folklore  of  the  various  peoples  and  facilitates  ease  of  con- 
versation in  the  language;  The  Lycoming  College  Players,  which 
affords  opportunity  for  acting  and  directing  plays  as  demonstration 
of  the  work  in  the  dramatic  courses  of  the  curriculum;  the  Varsity 
Club,  which  is  composed  of  lettermen,  promotes  college  spirit  in 
sports;  the  Pre-Medical  Society,  which  has  discussions  and  hears 
lectures  on  various  medical  data ;  some  religious  groups,  the  Canter- 
bury Club,  the  Catholic  Club,  and  the  Methodist  Student  Movement. 

COLLEGE  PUBLICATIONS.  There  are  four  college  publica- 
tions. The  Lycoming  Courier  is  the  official  student  paper,  devoted 
to  local  interests  of  the  student  body,  reporting  current  campus 
events.  The  Arrow,  the  college  year  book,  is  published  in  May 
and  presents  a  record  of  student  life  during  the  current  academic 
year.  The  staffs  of  both  publications  are  composed  of  students 
interested  in  gaining  more  knowledge  and  experience  in  journalism 
and  business  practices.  The  Alumni  Bulletin,  issued  six  times  a 
year,  keeps  the  alumni  posted  on  current  happenings  at  the  college 
and  on  alumni  activities.  The  Guidepost,  published  by  the  Student 
Government,  is  a  student  handbook  of  regulations  and  miscellaneous 
information  which  is  distributed  during  the  first  week  of  school. 

MUSIC.  The  Music  Department  offers  several  organizations  for 
students  interested  in  music.  A  College  Choir  and  the  Men's  Glee 
Club  are  open  to  all  students  desiring  to  join.  The  Lycoming  Sing- 
ers, Men's  Quartette,  and  an  A  Cappella  Choir  are  formed  of  select- 
ed voices  and  represent  the  college  at  many  events.  A  String  En- 
semble gives  instrument  players  an  opportunity  to  enjoy  the  fellow- 
ship of  good  music  together.  In  addition,  there  are  the  College 
Band  and  Symphony  Orchestra,  which  meet  several  times  each 
week  for  practice.  These  furnish  the  college  with  music  for  many 
entertainments,  athletic  events,  and  celebrations  throughout  the  year,

FRATERNITIES.  Five  Greek  letter  groups  on  the  campus  pro-

RECREATION  AND  HEALTH 

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

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

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

STUDENT  INSURANCE.  By  a  special  group  plan,  our  students 
are  able  to  secure  accident  and  sickness  insurance  covering  medical 
and  hospital  expenses  whether  at  home  or  at  college  during  one 
academic  year.  Reimbursement  will  be  made  up  to  $500.00  for  each 
incident.     All  students  are  advised  to  carry  this  protection. 

PHYSICAL  EXAMINATION.  A  physical  examination  of  all 
students  is  required.  This  examination  is  conducted  by  the  stu- 
dent's own  physician  and  a  report  each  year  made  on  a  standard 
form  supplied  by  the  College.  This  report  is  presented  on  Regis- 
tration Day  to  a  faculty  member  from  the  Physical  Education 
department. 

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

37 


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

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

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

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

GUIDANCE 

An  advantage  of  a  small  college  is  the  rich  experience  gained  by 
the  close  association  of  students  and  faculty.  In  addition  to  this 
valuable  personal  relationship,  which  affords  students  the  opportu- 
nity to  discuss  various  problems  with  their  instructors,  Lycoming 
has  a  well-rounded  guidance  program  for  its  students.  Under  the 
direction  of  the  Dean  of  the  College,  this  program  includes  areas 
as  represented  by  the  Dean  of  Men,  the  Dean  of  Women,  and  the 
Guidance  Director  with  his  group  of  faculty  advisers.  The  program 
begins  with  a  personal  interview  between  the  Director  of  Admis- 
sions and  the  candidate  for  admission.  These  interviews  are  suf- 
ficient in  length  to  obtain  a  picture  of  the  student,  his  background, 
and  his  plans  for  the  future.  When  the  student  enters  the  College 
as  a  Freshman,  he  is  given  the  opportunity  to  take  aptitude  and 
psychological  examinations.  On  the  basis  of  preparatory  or  high 
school  records,  aptitude  and  psychological  examination  scores,  and 
various  interviews,  an  evaluation  of  the  student  can  be  formed. 

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

38 


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

PLACEMENT  SERVICE 

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

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

PROVISION  FOR  VETERANS 

Lycoming  is  fully  approved  for  the  educational  program  for 
Veterans  under  Federal  Public  Laws  346,  16,  650,  and  894. 

RESIDENT  STUDENT  LIFE 

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

Rooms  at  Lycoming  are  furnished  as  follows:  desk,  bureau, 
chair,  single  bed,  mattress,  and  pillow.  Students  must  supply  their 
own  bed  linen,  blankets,  study  lamps,  and  alarm  clocks.  The  men 
can  make  their  rooms  more  attractive  by  using  throw  rugs  and  plas- 
tic drapes. 

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

39 


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

DISCIPLINE 

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

REGULATIONS 

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

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

Students  from  a  distance  are  required  to  reside  in  the  dormi- 
tories. Permission  for  any  exception  to  this  rule  must  be  obtained 
from  the  administration.  When  such  permission  is  granted,  the 
place  of  residence  and  living  accommodations  must  be  approved  by 
the  Dean  of  Women  or  the  Dean  of  Men. 

Money  and  valuables  should  be  placed  in  the  school  safe;  other- 
wise the  College  will  not  assume  responsibility. 

No  intoxicants  or  drinking  of  intoxicants  is  permitted. 

Permission  to  maintain  automobiles  on  the  campus  must  be 
obtained  from  the  administration.  License  numbers  must  be  record- 
ed during  registration. 

Firearms  for  hunting  must  be  deposited  with  the  Dean  of  Men 
while  on  the  campus. 

Dormitory  students  are  expected  to  vacate  their  rooms  during 
the  vacation  periods.  Exceptions  must  be  reported  to  the  Dean  of 
Men.

Unclassified:  Students  who  do  not  wish  to  enter  upon  a  regular 
course  of  study  may  pursue  studies  offered  for  which  their 
previous  trainings  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  £or  that  course. 

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

NORMAL  STUDENT  LOAD 

The  normal  load  per  semester  for  students  is  from  twelve  to 
fifteen  hours  of  academic  work  and  two  classes  per  week  of  physical 
education  during  the  first  two  years. 

OVER  LOAD 

Students  who  wish  to  carry  in  excess  of  the  normal  load  are 
charged  $15.00  per  credit  hour.    A  schedule  of  more  than  seventeen 

43 


hours  of  academic  work  may  be  taken  if  the  student  has  an  average 
of  2.0  for  all  previous  work  and  obtains  written  permission  from 
the  Dean  of  the  College  or  has  an  average  below  2.0  and  receives 
the  written  permission  of  a  special  committee. 

PROBATION 

Students  whose  grade-point  average  falls  between  .00  and  .6  are 
placed  on  probation.  Students  on  probation  must  maintain  an 
average  of  1.0  for  a  normal  load  for  a  semester,  or  during  a  summer 
to  be  removed  from  probation. 

DISMISSAL 

Freshmen  who  fail  to  maintain  an  average  of  at  least  .00  the 
first  year  shall  be  asked  to  withdraw  from  the  College.  Upper 
classmen  whose  averages  fall  below  .00  for  any  semester  may  be 
asked  to  withdraw  from  the  College.  The  College  also  reserves  the 
right  to  deny  admission  to  any  applicant  or  to  dismiss  any  student 
at  any  time  if  the  administration  considers  such  action  to  be  for  the 
best  interests  of  the  student  or  the  College.  Students  dismissed  for 
academic  reasons  may  request  reinstatement  after  one  semester. 
Readmission  of  a  student  may  be  refused  if  in  the  considered  opin- 
ion of  the  Admissions  and  Standards  Committee  he  does  not  meet  all 
the  requirements  of  the  College  in  the  specific  curriculum  for  which 
readmission  has  been  sought. 

ATTENDANCE 

The  program  at  Lycoming  is  built  on  the  assumption  that  there 
is  value  in  class  and  assembly  and  chapel  attendance  for  all  stu- 
dents. Therefore,  all  students  are  expected  to  attend  all  classes 
and  a  specified  number  of  assembly  and  chapel  exercises. 

44 


Specific  regulations  as  to  permissible  absences  and  penalties  for 
excessive  absences  are  announced  from  time  to  time.  Responsi- 
bility for  learning  and  complying  with  these  regulations  rests  with 
the  student. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  GRADUATION 

The  college  offers  courses  of  study  leading  to  the  degrees  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Science.  For  either  degree  the 
minimum  requirements  are: 

120  academic  hours,  including  required  courses  and  one  major  of 
at  least  24  hours. 

120  or  more  academic  quality  points  on  the  basis  of:  "3" — 3  points 
per  credit  hour;  "2" — 2  points  per  credit  hour;  "1" — 1  point 
per  credit  hour;  "0" — 0  points  per  credit  hour. 

4  semester  hours  credit  of  physical  education  (not  included  in  the 
120  academic  hours). 

Chapel  credit  for  each  fall  and  spring  semester  of  attendance  at 
Lycoming  College  (%  of  number  of  chapel  periods  per 
semester).

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  pages  69  and  70. 


45 


PROGRAMS  FOR  STUDY 


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

Choosing  one's  life  work  is  an  important  and  serious  matter. 
In  this  selection,  Lycoming,  as  a  liberal  arts  college,  plays  an  im- 
portant role.  While  some  students  enter  college  with  a  well-defined 
aim,  many  others  are  far  from  settled  in  their  minds  as  to  their  own 
particular  vocation.  The  first  two  years  of  a  liberal  arts  course 
give  the  student  glimpses  into  many  fields  and  thus  by  the  beginning 
of  his  third  or  Junior  year,  the  student  with  this  background  and 
with  the  advice  of  the  faculty,  usually  is  well  prepared  to  indicate 
his  field  of  specialization. 

The  following  pages  contain  some  of  the  programs  offered  at 
Lycoming.  Others  are  available  upon  sufficient  demand.  It  is 
recommended,  therefore,  that  the  student  discuss  his  proposed  plan 
with  the  Registrar,  or,  if  a  returning  student,  with  his  adviser.

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

MUSIC 

The  two-year  Music  Course  is  open  to  those  who  are  regularly  enrolled 
at  Lycoming  College.  Other  students  attending  Lycoming  who  are  not

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-gaing 
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

combines  the  advantages  of  the  smaller  liberal  arts  college  with  the  train- 
ing to  be  secured  at  a  large  engineering  school.  By  arrangement  with 
Bucknell  University,  and  The  Pennsylvania  State  University,  the  College 
pffers  a  five-year  course,  the  first  three  years  of  which  are  spent  at 
Lycoming,  the  final  two  at  Bucknell  or  The  Pennsylvania  State  University. 
A  student  may  secure  a  degree  in  liberal  arts  and  a  degree  in  engineering 
by  this  program. 

The  student's  three  years  at  Lycoming  include  prescribed  work  in 
English,  foreign  language,  chemistry,  mathematics,  and  physics.  At  Buck- 
nell University,  or  The  Pennsylvania  State  University,  the  student  will
