Campus  Life 


History 


Lycoming  is  an  Indian  name  closely  associated  with  the  north 
Central  area  of  Pennsylvania  from  early  colonial  days.  The  name 
is  representative  since  the  College  has  been  involved  in  the  gradual 
development  of  this  area  from  its  founding  in  1812.  It  began  as  an 
Academy  with  the  power  to  grant  degrees.  Because  of  the  needs 
of  that  day,  however,  the  school  at  first  concerned  itself  primarily 
with  the  early  stages  of  the  educational  experience. 

As  the  passing  of  time  brought  increasing  complexity  to  the 
pattern  of  American  life,  the  program  was  changed  to  the  prepara- 
tory, then  to  the  junior  college  and  finally  to  the  liberal  arts  college 
level.  Under  the  guidance  of  The  Methodist  Church,  the  College 
has  steadily  held  strongly  to  the  high  ideals  and  standards  of  the 
Methodist  tradition  in  higher  education.  Through  the  Middle 
States  Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools,  Lycoming 
enjoys  the  highest  accreditation  available  to  a  liberal  arts  college. 
It  cooperates  freely  in  the  Association  of  American  Colleges. 


Tradition 


Lycoming's  physical  location  has  played  a  necessary  part  in 
determining  the  character  of  its  tradition.  Like  other  old  eastern 
colleges,  it  is  located  near  the  center  of  a  city.  Williamsport,  on  the 
west  branch  of  the  Susquehanna  River,  has  grown  around  and 
beyond  the  College  campus  as  it  has  developed  into  a  major  com- 
munity. Rail,  air  and  bus  lines  link  it  with  the  metropolitan  cen- 
ters of  the  East.  A  radius  of  200  miles  includes  Washington,  Phila- 
delphia, New  York,  Albany,  Syracuse,  Buffalo  and  Pittsburgh. 

In  spite  of  this  expansion  by  the  city,  the  college  has  maintained 
its  life  as  an  academic  community  with  a  closely  knit  arrangement 
of  buildings  on  fifteen  acres  of  land.  Though  set  apart  for  the 
purpose  of  study,  the  College  is  awake  to  the  demands  of  modem 
life  and  seeks  to  serve  them  with  a  challenging  program  for  leader- 
ship. 

Co-educational  experience  in  a  well  rounded  academic,  religious 
and  cultural  program  is  designed  to  train  the  student  for  life  in 
modem  society  not  only  through  the  development  of  specialized 
talents  but  also  through  the  cultivation  of  the  whole  personality. 

20 


In  a  small  liberal  arts  college  there  is  a  close  community  of 
interest— both  academically  and  socially.  The  extreme  individualist 
finds  that  he  must  consider  the  rights  of  others.  The  quiet  person 
learns  to  take  his  part  in  the  life  of  the  college  community. 

Every  student  can  share  in  the  exhilaration  of  varsity  sports, 
for,  whether  player  or  spectator,  he  feels  close  to  this  expression  of 
school  spirit.  He  also  participates  in  a  competitive  intramural 
program. 

The  chapel  provides  a  focus  for  the  student's  life.  It  is  here 
that  he  goes  for  vi^orship,  assemblies,  academic  gatherings  and  student 
productions.  Surrounding  these  experiences  and  constandy  guiding 
him  in  them  is  the  life  of  the  classroom.  Here  he  becomes  familiar 
with  the  ideas  of  enduring  significance  that  have  come  from  the 
minds  of  the  learned  and  wise  men  of  all  the  ages.  He  learns  the 
techniques  of  government  which  mankind  has  perfected  and  then 
seeks  to  practice  them  in  student  life.  He  delves  into  science.  He 
develops  the  ability  to  read  and  converse  in  the  languages  of  other 
lands.  He  discovers  a  new  awareness  of  the  fine  arts.  The  open 
stacks  of  the  library  afford  him  the  opportunity  to  search  for  the 
ideas  that  will  meet  the  challenge  offered  in  class. 

In  all  of  this  he  has  personal  guidance  as  he  shares  his  faculty 
advisor  with  a  few  other  students.  When  he  leaves  the  college 
for  the  graduate  schools  of  the  great  universities,  the  professional 
schools  of  medicine,  law  and  theology  or  the  modern  disciplines  of 
engineering,  forestry,  industry,  government  and  management,  he 
takes  with  him  the  sharp  edged  tools  of  intellect  and  the  broad 
cultural  background  of  the  liberal  arts  tradition.  Human  relations 
has  become  for  him  no  mere  professional  term  but  a  vital  experience. 


Purpose 


It  is  the  aim  of  Lycoming  College  to  provide  to  qualified  stu-

of  life.  In  addition  to  broad  general  education,  courses  preparatory 
to  specialization  in  law,  medicine,  the  ministry,  dentistry,  engineer- 
ing, and  business,  or  courses  preparatory  to  graduate  work  in  some 
field  of  concentration  are  offered.  Certificates  are  awarded  to  stu- 
dents completing  two  years  of  work  in  some  special  fields.

Extra-Curricular  Activities 


Freshman  Program 

The  college  recognizes  the  need  for  giving  the  freshmen  assis- 
tance 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  freshman  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  introduction  to  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.  Speakers  include  prominent  civic  lead- 
ers, faculty  members,  and  national  figures.  This  group  sponsors 
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. 

22 


Through  the  generosity  of  the  late  Honorable  M.  B.  Rich,  for 
eighteeen  years  President  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  a  Department 
of  Religion  has  been  established  at  the  College.  The  Director  of 
Religious  Activities  gives  a  large  portion  of  his  time  to  promoting 
a  helpful  religious  atmosphere  at  the  institution  and  to  aiding  stu- 
dents 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  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  seeks  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  promoting  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. 

Campus  Groups 

In  addition  to  the  John  Wesley  Club,  Student  Christian  Asso- 
ciation, and  the  Student  Government,  there  are  varied  organizations 
on  the  campus  which  provide  students  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  Relations  Club,  which  is  the  campus 
focus  for  discussion  of  world  affairs;  the  Foreign  Language  Club, 
which  supplements  class  work  by  helping  students  to  understand 

23 


the  folklore  of  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  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;  the  Phalanx  Club,  a  Y.  M.  C.  A,  affiliate; 
some  religious  groups,  the  Canterbury  Club,  the  Catholic  Club, 
and  the  Methodist  Student  Movement. 

College  Publications 

There  are  six  college  publications.  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  publica- 
tions 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  Guide-post, 
published  by  the  Student  Government,  is  a  student  handbook  of 
regulations  and  miscellaneous  information  which  is  distributed  dur- 
ing the  first  week  of  school.  The  Student  Bulletin  is  issued  weekly 
and  The  Faculty  Bulletin  as  needed  by  the  Dean's  office. 

Music 

The  Music  Department  offers  organizations  for  students  inter- 
ested in  music.  The  College  Choir  and  College  Band  are  open 
to  all  students  desiring  to  join.  These  furnish  the  college  with 
music  for  many  entertainments,  athletic  events,  and  celebrations 
throughout  the  year. 

Fraternities 

Five  Greek  letter  groups  on  the  campus  provide  a  means  of 
bringing  to  men  students  the  advantages  of  fraternal  organization 
as  well  as  group  housing.  They  include  the  Psi  Chapter  of  Kappa 
Delta  Rho,  Beta  Lambda  Chapter  of  Sigma  Pi,  Iota  Beta  Zeta 
Chapter  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha,  Epsilon  Beta  Chapter  of  Theta  Chi, 
and  the  Nu  Chapter  of  Alpha  Gamma  Upsilon.

General  Programs  and  Rules 


Physical  Education 

Physical  Education  is  one  phase  of  the  education  of  the  whole 
student.  It  is  here  that  the  student  develops  not  only  in  physical 
ability,  but  also  in  leadership  and  in  proper  habits  of  living.  Here 
students  are  encouraged  to  gain  and  improve  skills,  attitudes,  and 
knowledge  that  will  provide  a  sound  recreational  outlet  following 
graduation.    It  is  to  this  end  that  the  program  of  activities  is  directed. 

Physical  Education  is  required  of  all  freshmen  and  sophomores 
except  veterans  who  are  exempt.  All  classes  are  for  the  purpose 
of  instruction. 

The  college  accepts  no  financial  responsibility  for  medical, 
surgical,  or  other  expenses  arising  out  of  injuries  occuring  in  physical 
education  classes  or  the  intramural  program  which  exceeds  the  care 
provided  for  in  the  normal  college  Infirmary  service. 

Intercollegiate  Sports— The  college  offers  an  attractive  program 
of  intercollegiate  athletics  and  encourages  wide  participation  by  its 
students.  It  is  a  member  of  the  Middle  Atlantic  Athletic  Conference 
and  the  National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association.  Lycoming  an- 
nually meets  some  of  the  top-ranking  small  college  teams  in  the 
country  in  athletic  competition.  Contests  are  scheduled  with  other 
colleges  in  football,  basketball,  wrestling,  baseball  and  tennis. 

Intramural  Athletics— An  extensive  and  diversified  program  of 
intramural  athletic  competition  affords  opportunity  for  every  student 
to  participate  in  one  or  more  sports  of  his  own  choosing. 

Sports  for  men  include  touch  football,  basketball,  volleyball, 
bowling,  badminton,  table  tennis,  tennis,  softball,  golf,  wnrestling, 
swimming,  horseshoes,  track  and  field. 

Sports  for  women  include  competition  in  basketball,  volleyball, 
bowling,  badminton,  table  tennis,  tennis,  softball,  swimming,  field 
hockey,  archery  and  rhythmical  activities.  Field  days  are  arranged 
with  WAA  groups  of  other  colleges  and  universities  during  the 
school  year. 


Student  Insurance 

By  a  special  group  plan,  our  students  are  able  to  secure  acci- 
dent and  sickness  insurance  covering  medical  and  hospital  expenses 

26 


whether  at  home  or  at  college  during  one  academic  year.  Reim- 
bursement 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  student's  own  physician  and  a 
report  each  year  made  on  a  standard  form  supplied  by  the  College. 
This  report  is  presented  on  Registration  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  extraordi- 
nary situation. 

Each  student  is  entided  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. 

27 


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  aptitute  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. 


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  spendid  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. 

28 


Provisions  for  Veterans 

Lycoming  is  fully  approved  for  the  educational  program  for 
Veterans  under  Federal  Public  Laws  346,  16,  550,  and  894.

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- 
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- 

29 


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  on 
campus. 

Students  found  in  an  intoxicated  condition  will  be  expelled. 

Permission  to  maintain  automobiles  on  the  campus  must  be 
obtained  from  the  administration.  Freshmen  will  find  it  almost 
impossible  to  obtain  such  permission. 

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.

Registration 


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. 

Music  Program 

The  Music  Department  at  Lycoming  College  serves  a  dual 
purpose  in  that  it  seeks  to  provide  students  with  a  fine  musical 
background  through  courses  offered  while,  at  the  same  time,  the 
department  brings  to  the  campus  and  to  the  community  musical 
programs  which  aim  to  enrich  the  cultural  life  of  students  and 
townspeople. 

Before  being  accepted  as  a  candidate  for  the  AB  degree,  with 
a  major  in  music,  prospective  students  must  appear  before  a  faculty 
committee  to  show  evidence  of  adequate  musical  preparation.  It  is 
the  purpose  of  the  department  to  guide  the  development  of  every 
student  in  such  a  way  as  to  effect  his  maximum  growth  in  per- 
formance and  in  a  keen  awareness  of  sound  musical  values. 

The  music  major  consists  of  30  hours  adequately  distributed 
in  Principles,  History  and  Literature,  and  Applied  Music.  All 
music  majors  must  complete  minimum  requirements  in  piano. 

In  the  field  of  Applied  Music  students  will  have  two  private 
lessons  per  week  in  their  principle  field  of  performance  and  one 
private  lesson  per  week  in  their  subordinate  field  of  performance. 

35 


Since  musical  understanding  can  be  achieved  only  through  a 
great  deal  of  listening,  music  majors  are  required  to  attend  all  major 
musical  performances  on  the  campus  and  in  the  community  as  well 
as  the  sessions  of  recorded  music  directed  by  staff  members. 


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. 


Overload 

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. 


36 


Standards 


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  hour. 


Probation 

Students  whose  grade-point  average  for  a  semester  is  .5  or  lower 
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 

37 


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. 

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  regulation  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  hours;  "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  and  a  second  course 
in  Philosophy  for  non-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  pages  61  and  62.

Curricula 


Programs  of  Study 

Lycoming  College  confers  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor 
of  Science  degrees  after  eight  semesters  of  study  normally  taken  over 
a  course  of  four  years.  The  Bachelor  of  Arts  is  taken  in  the  liberal 
arts  and  sciences.  It  provides  broad  training  in  preparation  for 
graduate  work  or  immediate  service  to  the  community  in  places  of 
leadership.  Some  of  the  specific  areas  of  preparation  include  medi- 
cine, dentistry,  law,  the  ministry,  art,  music,  teaching,  engineering 
and  forestry.  The  first  four  require  additional  training  at  profes- 
sional schools.  Engineering  and  forestry  are  taken  in  five  year 
cooperative  programs  with  Bucknell  University,  Duke  University, 
and  The  Pennsylvania  State  University. 

The  Bachelor  of  Science  is  taken  in  the  specific  fields  of 
business  administration,  medical  technology,  nursing  and  teaching. 
If  the  student  wishes  to  spend  only  two  years  in  any  one  of  the 
fields  of  study  given  by  the  college,  a  certificate  of  credit  hours 
completed  will  be  issued  at  the  end  of  that  period.  Schedules  may 
be  adjusted  with  a  two  year  program  in  view. 

All  schedules  are  planned  individually  with  an  advisor.  Enter- 
ing students  plan  with  the  Director  of  Admissions.  Second  semes- 
ter freshmen  and  sophomores  plan  with  general  faculty  advisors. 
Juniors  and  seniors  plan  with  divisional  and  department  heads. 


Freshman  and  Sophomore  Years 

During  these  first  two  years  the  student  in  the  liberal  arts 
and  sciences  program  takes  a  broad  course  in  general  education. 
He  not  only  has  the  opportunity  to  develop  wide  understanding 
of  the  world  in  which  we  live,  but  also  discovers  where  his  own 
talents  and  interests  lie.  Thus  he  is  prepared  to  choose  a  major 
field  at  the  end  of  his  sophomore  year. 

During  the  freshman  year  he  takes: 

(1)  English  Composition— This  is  to  develop  a  facility  for 
reading  and  writing  that  will  help  him  in  the  transition  from  high 
school  to  college  level  work.     One  of  the  requirements  of  our  mod- 

39 


ern  civilization  in  business  as  well  as  the  professions  is  that  the 
individual  be  able  to  express  himself  freely  and  clearly. 

(2)  History  of  Western  Civilization— No  student  can  proceed 
to  specific  fields  of  study  until  he  fully  understands  the  backgrounds 
of  our  western  way  of  life. 

(3)  Science— Though  there  is  choice  in  the  field  of  science 
that  he  may  study,  each  student  must  have  an  experience  in  scien- 
tific method  which  has  been  the  great  development  in  western 
civilization  during  this  century. 

(4)  A  Foreign  Language— Though  he  may  have  further  choice 
as  to  the  particular  language  he  studies,  no  student  could  expect 
to  understand  the  small  world  of  today  without  knowing  some  other 
language  than  his  own  and  also  the  way  in  which  that  language 
was  developed. 

(5)  A  Survey  Course  in  Cultural  Appreciation— It  opens  up 
these  cultural  areas  for  enrichment  of  life.  This  choice  is  made  in 
the  area  of  the  art  or  music. 

During  his  sophomore  year,  he  takes: 

(1)  English  and  American  Literature— Having  learned  to  ex- 
press himself  the  student  now  gets  a  glimpse  of  the  way  the  great 
English  and  American  writers  have  expressed  themselves.  This 
course  is  a  source  of  future  personal  reading  habits  as  well  as  an 
understanding  of  our  culture. 

(2)  United  States  History— Having  received  the  background 
of  western  civilization,  the  student  learns  our  American  contribution 
to  the  present  world  scene. 

(3)  Foreign  Language— If  the  student  has  not  taken  suffi- 
cient language  in  secondary  school,  he  must  continue  his  language 
study  for  the  second  year.  If  he  has  satisfactorily  passed  two  years 
of  the  language  in  secondary  school,  he  does  not  have  to  take  the 
second  year  in  college  although  he  may  wish  to  continue  in  Ad- 
vanced Conversation. 

(4)  Psychology  and  Political  Science— These  requirements 
introduce  him  to  the  fields  as  well  as  provide  a  broad  survey  for  his 
general  background. 

(5)  Philosophy  and  Religion— These  requirements  give  him 
perspective  on  life  as  a  whole  as  well  as  the  basic  purpose  of  the 
College. 

40 


From  the  broad  understanding  that  the  student  has  received 
and  the  perspective  that  he  has  gained  in  several  fields,  he  is  able 
to  choose  a  major.  This  requires  at  least  24  credit  hours  in  his  chos- 
en field.  In  some  cases,  courses  from  different  departments  may  be 
grouped  together  to  form  a  major.  This  leaves  a  wide  range  of 
courses  for  a  minor  field  of  study  and  electives  to  broaden  his  educa- 
tion. He  plans  his  program  for  the  next  two  years  with  the  division- 
al or  departmental  head  of  his  major  field  of  study.

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.

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  toward  this  has 
been  very  rapid  following  World  War  II.

Pre-Law 

Many  law  schools  are  at  present  requiring  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  for 
admission.  Training  in  law  is  not  only  basic  to  the  practice  of  law  but  also 
makes  possible  many  other  forms  of  public  service.

Nursing 

The  five-year  Nursing  Plan,  which  leads  to  the  B.S.  degree,  offers  to 
young  women  an  opportunity  to  obtain  a  liberal  arts  education  in  connection 
with  a  nurse's  education. 

The  program  of  the  first  three  years  consists  of  the  regular  nursing  training 
curriculum  taken  in  the  School  of  Nursing  at  the  Williamsport  Hospital.  If  a 
student  enters  from  another  school  of  nursing  approved  by  the  Pennsylvania 
State  Board  of  Nurse  Examiners  where  no  college  science  courses  are  offered, 
she  must  also  take  Chemistry  103,  Biology  103,  and  Biology  104  and  114.  To 
qualify  for  the  college  degree,  passing  of  the  State  Board  Examinations  is 
required. 

Students  who  take  their  nursing  training  in  some  other  state  must  present 
equivalent  training  to  that  required  in  Pennsylvania.

Expenses  and  Scholarships 


Expenses 


General  Expenses 

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

Tuition  at  Lycoming  is  $250.00  per  semester,  plus  certain  fees 
which  are  listed  on  the  following  pages.  The  present  cost  of  Room 
and  Board  is  $300.00  per  semester.  (The  academic  year  comprises 
two  semesters  of  approximately  sixteen  weeks  each.)  If  a  student 
requests  to  use  a  double  room  as  a  single  room  and  the  room  is 
available,  he  will   be   charged   50%   more  than  regular  rates. 

Regularly  enrolled  students  carrying  a  normal  schedule  of  from 
13  to  16  hours  of  class  or  laboratory  pay  the  full  tuition  charge. 
Those  students  taking  fewer  than  13  hours  of  work  per  semester, 
or  fewer  than  6  hours  of  work  per  semester  in  the  summer  session, 
are  charged  $17.50  per  credit  hour.  Additional  credits  beyond 
the  normal  schedule  of  16  hours  are  charged  at  the  rate  of  $17.50 
for  each  semester  hour  credit.  Additional  detailed  information  will 
be  furnished  by  the  Treasurer's  office  upon  request. 

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. 

103 


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,  1956.  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.  The  bookstore  is  open  registration  day 
and  daily  thereafter.

itemized   statement,   showing   all   charges   and   payments,   will   be   mailed   to 

the  person  who  is  responsible.     On  receipt  of  the  bill  the  balance  of  term

All    grants,    scholarships,    and    earnings    from    college    employment   will 

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

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.  Consequendy,  stu- 
dents leaving  college  prior  to  the  ending  of  a  semester  will  not  be  entided 
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  vdthdraw  voluntarily

weeks,  full  charge. 

Dropping  a  subject  from  the  original  schedule  after  the  first  week  of

Office.  No  refund  will  be  made  to  those  students  who  are  asked  to  withdraw
