GENERAL STATEMENT

FROM time to time members of the Faculty of Lebanon Valley
College have been called upon to conduct "extension courses"
in various places, so as to meet the needs of such persons
as found it impossible to attend the courses given within the college.
The service developed very naturally, and almost unnoticed. The
college is always willing and ready to extend its services where they
are needed and appreciated. To those who have so loyally supported
and encouraged the success of this movement the college is greatly
indebted. It hopes to meet this obligation by employing its edu-
cational facilities in a manner productive of the greatest service to
those interested in educational advancement. Accordingly, the col-
lege will be glad to receive requests from groups who desire courses
other than these, and to arrange, whenever possible, to supply such
instruction as may be desired.

The courses offered are, for the most part, intended primarily for
those engaged in teaching. However, all other qualified persons will
be admitted to extension courses, and some courses are more or less
definitely planned to meet the needs or interests of persons outside
of the teaching group. All courses will be taught by members
of the College * Faculty, and will be of college grade and
receive credit as such. Inasmuch as Lebanon Valley College is an
accredited institution, on the first list of colleges and universities,
persons who complete these courses may safely assume that their
credits will be honored wherever they may be presented. The credits
earned in these courses will be counted by Lebanon Valley
College towards its Baccalaureate degrees.

CALENDAR

Each class will meet for thirty sessions at the specified time each
week from September to May, exclusive of Thanksgiving, Christmas
and Easter recesses. The first meeting of each group will be held
in the week of September 28.

REGISTRATION

Registration may be made at the time and place of the first meet-
ing of the classes. All those who are interested are invited to
attend the first meeting of any class, at which time questions may
be asked and the nature of the work more fully explained.

4 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

(a) For College Credit

College credit will be given only to those who have fulfilled
the College Entrance Requirements as described on pages
26-27 of the regular College Catalogue.

(b) Without College Credit

A limited number of persons whose preparation may not meet
the requirements as set forth above may be admitted to courses
at the discretion of the instructors.

COURSES LEADING TO THE BACCALAUREATE
DEGREES

An effort is being made by the College to offer in the Extension
Department and the Summer Session all the General Requirements
for the Baccalaureate degree. Most of these courses are announced
for the present year, and the remainder will be made available at
an early date. In cases where six semester hours are required, the
departments will normally offer four hours in Extension work
and a two hour supplementary course in Summer School. The
residence requirement of one year may be met by attendance at
Summer School. In this way the Baccalaureate degree will be
made available to those who are not able to attend the regular
annual College sessions.

For the convenience of those working towards a degree, a full
statement of the requirements is printed below:

ARRANGEMENTS OF COURSES OF STUDY

Lebanon Valley College offers three courses of study leading to
the Baccalaureate degree:

(1) A course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.)

(2) A course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

(3) A course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Edu-
cation (B.S. in Ed.)

The total number of credits required of candidates for these
degrees is the same in each case, and will in 1927 and thereafter
be 126 semester hours. In the interim the following requirements
will apply: 1926 — 129 semester hours.

As part of this total requirement, every candidate must present
at least 24 semester hours in one department (to be known as his
Major), and at least 16 semester hours in another department (to
be known as his Minor). Both Major and Minor must be selected
not later than the beginning of the Junior year, the Minor to be

EXTENSION SCHOOL BULLETIN 5

suitably related to the Major, and chosen with the advice and
approval of the Head of the Major department.

The A.B. degree will be awarded to those fulfilling the require-
ment for a Major in the following departments: Bible and New
Testament Greek, English, French, German, Greek, History, Latin,
Mathematics (Arts option), Political and Social Science, Philosophy
and Religion.

The B.S. degree will be awarded to those fulfilHng the require-
ments for a Major in the following departments: Biology, Chem-
istry, Mathematics (Science option). Physics.

The B.S. in Ed. degree will be awarded to those fulfilling the
requirements for a Major in Education, but in this case two Minors
of not less than 16 semester hours each must be presented.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Certain courses, embodying the fundamentals of a liberal educa-
tion, are required of all students. These courses, which vary slightly

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the General Requirements listed above, some of the
departments require students majoring therein to take certain addi-
tional courses in subjects closely related to the Major.

Students outlining a course for a degree should communicate at

6 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

once with the Head of the Department in which they intend to
Major.

Candidates for the Baccalaureate degree who desire to be admitted
to advanced standing, by virtue of work done in other institutions,
should lose no time in having their credits evaluated by the Registrar,
in order that they may be informed as to what requirements they
must still meet for graduation.

THE MASTER'S DEGREE

Some of the courses offered in the Extension Department may
be taken for credit towards a Master's degree, provided arrangements
are made in advance with the instructor. Some extra work will be
required, such as additional reading, reports, experiments, etc. The
complete regulations governing graduate work for the degrees of
A.M. and M.S. may be obtained upon application to the Registrar
of the College.

PLACE AND TIME OF CLASSES

In Harrisburg the classes will meet in the Technical High School.
Lebanon classes will meet in the Harding Junior High School.
Classes meeting in the college at Annville are specifically so noted.

Classes will regularly meet for one two hour period each week,
the time of meeting to be arranged by the instructor and students
at the organization meeting of each course.

WITHDRAWAL OF COURSES

Any of the courses announced in this bulletin may be withdrawn
in case the registration is not sufficient to justify the forming of a
class. Ten registrations will be considered sufficient for courses to
be given at Annville, and twenty registrations for courses to be
given in the other places.

BIOLOGY
Dr. Derickson

The Department of Biology aims to offer in extension courses to
teachers the courses in Biological Science required for graduation
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Edu-
cation, or in the fulfillment of the requirements of a minor in Biology.
The courses offered also constitute the first three courses required
of those majoring in Biology.

The courses include a course in General Biology, one in Botany
and one in Zoology. Not all of the courses are offered in the same
year. The course in General Biology was given in 1923-24. The
course in Botany was given last year and the course in Zoology
will be offered in 1925-26.

While a course in General Biology will prove very helpful to those
pursuing the courses in Botany and Zoology, the latter are so ar-
ranged that they may be taken without the former.

Each of the courses is divided into two parts. Part one consists of
lectures, demonstrations and recitations. Part two consists of labora-
tory and field work.

The following will be offered this year:

E-38. Zoology. Part One. Two hours. Throughout the year.
Lectures, demonstrations and recitations.

The object of the course is to give the student a broad, general
knowledge of the animal kingdom. The lectures will give a general
survey of the animal kingdom from the simplest to the most com-
plex, giving consideration to structure, physiological processes, life
history, ecological relationships and economic importance. Each
animal studied will be viewed from the standpoint of its origin and
constant comparison with others.

The course, although inculcating the scientific habit of thought,
will emphasize the cultural rather than the technical aspects of the
subjects. Credit, 4 semester hours.

Part Two. Two hours. Throughout the year. Laboratory and
field work.

Representatives of practically every class in the animal kingdom
will be studied in the laboratory with reference to structure and
Hfe history and in the field to ascertain their ecological relationships.
In this work the student has the opportunity to get, by personal

8 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

observation, concrete ideas of the principles and generalizations dis-
cussed in Part One.

Methods of conducting field work, of collecting materials for
laboratory and reserving same for museum or demonstration, the
preparation of microscopic slides, etc., are included in this part of
the course. Credit, 4 semester hours.

The laboratory work is given only at the college laboratory at
Annville, where every modern facility for conducting the work is
provided. Each student is furnished with compound microscope,
dissecting instruments, apparatus for experiments, note book and
drawing materials, for which a laboratory fee of six dollars per
semester is charged in addition to the tuition for the course. Field
trips are made to several points of interest. Materials are available
for those who desire to prepare specimens for use in teaching.

CHEMISTRY
Dr. Bender

The college offers this year two lecture demonstration courses in
chemistry.

E-14. General Chemistry. Two hours. Throughout the year. An
introduction to the study of chemistry, including a study of the ele-
ments, their classification and properties, and a study of the important
compounds of each element. During the course constant reference is
made to manufacturing and industrial processes, and interpretation of
the phenomenal material development of the present century is made
in the light of the rapid increase in chemical knowledge. Each
lecture will be illustrated by lecture experiments and the use of
charts and industrial products. Credit, 4 semester hours.

The laboratory work of this course can, if desired, be done on
Saturdays in the College laboratories, for which an additional credit
of four semester hours will be given. The course thus offered is
equivalent to Course Chemistry 18 offered in the College.

E-24. Orgajiic Chemistry. Two hours. Throughout the year.
A study of the sources, classification and type reactions of organic
materials, of food-stuffs and their relation to nutrition, dyes, pharma-
ceuticals, explosives, coal tar intermediates, manufacturing processes
and recent developments in this field of Chemistry. The course
will include a carefully selected series of demonstrations, the display
of a large number of representative materials, and the use of about
one hundred charts specially designed and prepared by the instructor.
A knowledge of the elements of Chemistry will be assumed. Credit,
4 semester hours.

The laboratory work of this course can, if desired, be done on

EXTENSION SCHOOL BULLETIN 9

Saturdays in the College laboratories for which an additional credit
of four semester hours will be given. The course thus offered is
equivalent to Course Chemistry 48 offered in the College.
