Lebanon  Valley  College, 

JS23-1884. 


The  College,  four  years  ago,  added  one  year  to  its 
Courses  of  Study,  which,  as  was  anticipated,  affected 
the  present  Junior  Class  in  point  of  numbers,  and  has 
also  lessened  all  of  the  under-graduating  classes;  but 
the  elevating  of  the  standard  has  commended  itself  to 
all,  and  it  is  confidently  believed  that  the  increasing  in- 
terest which  is  now  felt  in  the  cause  of  Christian  educa- 
tion, will  result  in  a  greatly  increased  attendance,  and 
a  much  larger  number,  who  will  complete  the  pre- 
scribed courses.

COURSES  OF  STUDY. 


The  Collegiate  Department  offers  two  courses  of  study,  the 
Classical  and  the  Scientific.  The  Classical  course  requires  four 
years,  in  addition  to  two  years  of  preparatory,  for  completion; 
and  the  Scientific  four  years,  with  one  year  of  preparatory. 

The  studies  laid  down  in  these  departments  are  such  as  expe- 
rience has  proved  efficient  in  securing  a  full  and  harmonious 
development  of  all  the  intellectual  faculties,  and  in  furnishing 
the  student  with  first  principles,  and  with  an  intelligent  out- 
line of  those  branches  of  knowledge  with  which  every  well- 
educated  person  should  be,  to  some  extent  acquainted.  It  is, 
therefore,  a  leading  object  to  bring  into  exercise,  all  those  pow- 
ers by  which  the  mind  may  become  prepared  to  acquire  knowl- 
edge rapidly,  and  use  it  to  the  best  possible  advantage. 

In  the  Scientific  Department,  students  who  prefer  to  do  so, 
may  substitute  Greek  for  Latin,  French  and  History  for  Ger- 
man.

DEPARTMENTS  of  INSTRUCTION. 


:NTAL  AND  MORAL  PHILOSOPHY. 


Mental  and  Moral  Sciences.  In  the  Senior  year  of  the 
Classical  and  Scientific  courses,  students  are  admitted  to  the 
study  of  Psychology  and  Ethics.  These  subjects  are  taught  by 
means  of  text-books  and  interlocutory  methods,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  those  who  pursue  them  will  attain  a  fair  knowledge 
of  the  history  and  present  status  of  these  sciences. 

Seventeen  weeks  are  devoted  to  the  study  of  Psychology,  and 
eleven  weeks  to  the  study  of  Ethics,  with  five  recitations  in  each, 
per  week. 

Apologetics.  Butler's  Analogy  of  Religion  and  Hopkins' 
Evidences  of  Christianity  are  used  as  text-books. 

These  subjects  are  studied  in  the  senior  and  junior  years, 
twelve  weeks  being  devoted  to  each.  Written  theses  are  re- 
quired, setting  forth,  briefly,  the  arguments  of  the  authors  and 
the  students's  views  concerning  these.  In  the  study  of  these 
subjects,  there  are  exercises  in  the  review  of  authors  and  their 
criticism. 

Philosophy.  In  the  senior  year  the  various  systems  of 
Philosophy  are  reviewed.  Haven's  "  History  of  Ancient  and 
Modern  Philosophy  "  is  used  as  a  text,  and  the  subject  is  taught 
with  reference  to  a  comparison  of  systems. 

Social  Science.  Political  Economy  opens  to  the  student 
the  subject  of  individual  and  national  well-being,  and  treats 
scientifically  the  living  questions,  Production,  Distribution  and 
Consumption. 

Seventeen  weeks  are  devoted  to  this  subject  during  the  Soph- 
omore year,  and  it  is  expected  that  intelligent  views  will  be 
reached  upon  the  Tariff  Question.

LATIN  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE. 


In  this  department  the  design  is  to  give  thorough  instruction 
in  the  language  and  literature  of  the  Romans.  The  authors 
whose  writings  are  studied,  are  Csesar,  Cicero,  Virgil,  Livy, 
Horace,  Quintilian,  Tacitus,  Terence  and  Juvenal.  In  the 
earlier  stages,  the  learner's  attention  is  especially  directed  to 
the  mastery  of  inflections,  to  the  elements  of  the  words  declined 
and  conjugated,  so  as  to  obtain  a  perfect  familiarity  with  the 
stems,  signs,  and  endings.  As  the  study  advances  syntax  is 
taken  up,  and  by  constant  reviews  of  the  grammar,  the  knowl- 
edge obtained  is  confirmed  and  enlarged.  To  acquire  the  abil- 
ity to  translate  faithfully  and  elegantly  is  a  leading  object. 
Students  are  asked  to  show  the  construction  of  the  text,  explain 
the  derivation  of  words  and  apply  the  principles  of  grammar. 
In  connection  with  the  reading  of  the  poets  particular  attention 
is  given  to  prosody. 

Latin  composition  is  studied  with  care.  After  the  text-book 
is  completed  there  are  regular  exercises  in  writing  Latin  essays. 

The  Continental  method  of  pronunciation  is  used.  From  the 
beginning  pupils  are  taught  correct  accent  and  quantity,  and  by 
careful  practice  are  trained  to  read  the  Latin  text  with  facility 
and  gracefulness. 

During  the  Winter  Term  lectures  are  delivered  every  week, 
on  the  History  of  Roman  Literature,  before  the  class  studying 
that  subject,  in  which  the  early  stages  of  its  growth  are  traced, 
and  the  most  prominent  writers,  from  the  time  of  Livius  An- 
dronicus  up  to  the  patristic  era  are  presented.  Especially  are 
the  illustrious  authors  of  the  Augustine  age  and  their  works 
made  the  subjects  of  treatment.  It  is  the  aim  in  these  lectures 
to  give  to  the  students  of  Latin  Literature  a  comprehensive  view 
of  the  subject,  and  to  infuse  a  strong  desire  for  the  study  of  those 
literary  masterpieces  which  have  so  long  maintained  an  honored 
place  among  the  educated  classes  of  all  civilized  lands. 

The  following  books  of  reference  are  recommended :  White 
and  Riddle's  or  Leverett's  Latin  Lexicon,  Roby's  or  Zumpt's 
Latin  Grammar,  Doederlein's  Latin  Synonymes,  Johnston's  Clas- 
sical Atlas,  Mommsen's  History  of  Rome,  Ellis'  Quantitative 
Pronunciation  of  Latin,  and  Corssen's  Aussprache  Vocalismus 
und  Betonung  der  Latinischen  Sprache. 


26  LEBANON    VALLEY   COLLEGE. 


GREEK  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE. 


The  subjects  taught  iu  this  department  are  the  Greek  Lan- 
guage and  Literature,  the  History  of  Greece,  the  History  of 
Greek  Literature,  Antiquities  and  Comparative  Philology. 

In  the  preparatory  classes  the  student  is  thoroughly  drilled 
in  the  inflections  of  the  language,  and  words  are  carefully  ex- 
amined with  reference  to  the  application  of  the  laws  of  euphonic 
change  and  rules  of  construction. 

Written  and  oral  translations,  from  Greek  into  English  and 
from  English  into  Greek,  are  given  throughout  the  first  two 
years.  In  all  of  these  exercises  strict  attention  is  paid  to  the 
grammatical  principles  involved,  and  the  laws  of  accent  are  care  - 
fully  applied. 

A  greater  familiarity  with  the  idioms  and  spirit  of  the  lan- 
guage is  acquired  by  means  of  the  "  Modern  method  "  of  teach- 
ing languages — by  questions  and  answers  iu  the  original  tongue. 

In  the  higher  classes,  special  attention  is  given  to  the  style, 
spirit,  and  subject  matter  of  the  author.  With  these  recitations 
are  connected  exercises  in  Comparative  Philology  and  Historical 
Etymology,  in  derivative  words,  tracing  the  transition  from  the 
primary  meaning  to  secondary  and  figurative  meanings,  and  ob- 
serving the  interchange  of  words  through  the  cognate  tongues. 

The  Greek  Testament  is  studied  throughout  the  Sophomore 
year,  one  recitation  per  week. 

Books  of  Reference.  Anthon's  Classical  Dictionary,  Had- 
ley's  Greek  Grammar,  Veitch's  Greek  Verbs,  Kiihner's  Greek 
Grammar,  Mahaifey's  Greek  Literature,  Symond's  Greek  Poets, 
Papillion's  Comparative  Philology,  Grote's  History  of  Greece, 
Goodwin's  Greek  Moods  and  Tenses,  Homeric  Grammar,  Grote's 
Plato,  and  Introduction  to  the  Rhythmic  and  Metric  of  the  Clas- 
sical Languages.

MATHEMATICS. 


Geometry  and  Trigonometry.  Geometry  is  a  two-fold 
science,  being  demonstrative  reasoning,  and  a  system  of  practi- 
cal truths.  In  the  study  of  this  science  we  seek  to  bring  out 
the  meaning  and  practical  utility  of  the  abstract  propositions, 
and  seek  to  enable  the  student  to  feel  that  he  deals  with  com- 
mon affairs,  and  not  with  abstractions  of  the  imagination.  By 
frequent  application  of  practical  problems,  the  principles  are 
fixed  in  the  student's  mind,  and  thought  is  developed  ;  indeed 
practical  applications  are  essential  to  a  full  apprehension  of  geo- 
metrical truths,  otherwise  the  science  becomes  a  mere  discussion 
of  abstract  propositions.  The  work  preceding  the  proportionali- 
ties and  measurement  of  polygons,  circles,  an/1  solids  is  done  in 
the  preparatory  year.  There  are  exercises  in  original  investiga- 
tion and  application  of  Algebra  to  Geometry. 

One-half  of  Freshman  year  is  devoted  to  Plane  and  Spheri- 
cal Trigonometry.  Students  apply  the  principles  to  the  meas- 
uring of  heights  and  distances,  and  to  Astronomy,  as  a  part  of 
class  exercise. 

Calculus  and  Surveying.  The  study  of  Calculus  is  taught 
during  the  Sophomore  year,  and  is  required  of  all  students. 

Surveying  occupies  the  spring  term  of  the  Sophomore  year. 
Instruction  is  given  in  practical  surveying,  and  the  student  is 
taught  to  be  self-reliant  and  thorough  by  use  of  instruments  in 
field  practice,  &c.  , 

Astronomy.  Astronomy  occupies  seventeen  weeks  of  Senior 
year.  The  instruction  is  both  by  use  of  text-book  and  lectures 
which  embrace  the  latest  discoveries  and  researches.  In  some 
respects  the  instruction  is  mathematical,  as  the  students  are  re- 
quired to  find  the  periodic  time  and  mass  of  planets,  sun's  rising 
and  setting,  beginning  and  duration  of  twilight,  eclipses,  &c. 

Students  will  have  some  practice  with  an  Acromatic  Telescope. 
They  will  be  required,  as  a  part  of  class  work,  to  make  observa- 
tions of  the  Sun,  Planets,  Clusters  of  Stars,  &c. 

Books  of  Reference.  Peck's  Mathematical  Dictionary, 
Gauss'  Theory  of  Numbers,  Todhunter's  General  Theory  of 
Equations,  Salmon's  Modern  Higher  Algebra,  Newcomb's  or 
Wentworth's  Geometry  and  Trigonometry,  Olney's  General 
Geometry,  Chauvenet's  Spherical  Astronomy,  and  Loomis's 
Practical  Astronomy. 


28  LEBANON   VALLEY    COLLEGE. 


ENGLISH  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE. 


In  this  department  are  taught  English  Grammar,  Analysis, 
Higher  English,  General  History,  Bible  History,  Logic,  Science 
of  Government,  Rhetoric,  History  of  Civilization,  Elements  of 
Criticism,  and  English  Literature. 

We  seek  to  bring  to  view  the  structure  and  uses  of  the  lan- 
guage, not  only  by  the  study  of  rules,  but  by  careful  study  of 
the  best  literary  models,  and  original  composition.  Higher 
Lessons  in  English  affords  opportunity  to  those  desiring  ad- 
vanced drill  in  the  art  of  expression  and  composition.  Rheto- 
ric, a  subject  pursued  by  the  Juniors,  also  supplements  this 
drill  by  a  much  more  systematic  study  of  the  forms  of  Prose, 
Poetry  and  Style. 

The  view  taken  of  the  history  of  the  world  is,  from  necessity, 
somewhat  cursory,  but  sufficient  to  create  a  taste  for  historical 
study.  The  history  of  our  own  country  is  studied  during  the 
Spring  term.  The  fall  term  of  seventeen  weeks  is  given  to  the 
study  of  Bible  History,  which  all  are  required  to  study  with 
the  same  care  that  they  do  the  other  branches  of  the  curriculum. 

The  "  History  of  Civilization  "  is  taught  from  text  book, 
•but  is  supplemented  by  a  series  of  dissertations,  the  subjects  of 
which  are  assigned  students  at  the  beginning  of  the  term,  and 
which  they  are  required  to  prepare  either  for  oral  or  written  de- 
livery before  the  class. 

Logic  is  studied  by  the  Juniors.  Special  attention  is  given 
the  forms  of  correct  argument  and  fallacy. 

The  Science  of  Government,  embracing  a  rapid,  yet 
complete  view  of  our  political  system,  is  taught  with  reference 
especially  to  the  duties  of  good  citizenship. 

Elements  of  Criticism,  as  related  to  the  beautiful  in  nature 
and  art,  and  a  knowledge  of  the  principles  of  good  taste,  is 
studied  in  the  Senior  year. 

English  Literature,  taught  both  by  manual  and  the  works 
of  the  standard  authors,  is  made  one  of  the  most  interesting  and 
important  branches  of  this  department.  Our  constant  aim  is  to 
awaken  new  interest  in  the  study  of  our  own  language  and  litera- 
ture, and,  whatever  the  study,  the  student  may  feel  that  his 
training  in  English  is  not  neglected.

BOOKS  OF  REFERENCE. 

The  College  Library  is  well  supplied  with  histories  and  lit- 
erature bearing  upon  the  subjects  of  this  department,  to  some  of 
which  the  student  is  referred  almost  daily,  and  in  some  instances 
required  to  examine  for  special  information.  The  Library  is 
our  great  ally  and  aid  in  instruction. 

For  special  reference,  the  following  are  recommended  : 
Welsh's  Development  of  the  English  Literature  and  Lan- 
guage ;  Townsend's  Art  of  Speech,  Vols.  I  and  II ;  Smith's 
Old  and  New  Testament  History ;  Whitney's  Language  and  the 
Study  of  Language ;  Whitney's  Life  and  Growth  of  Language ; 
Stille's  Studies  in  Mediaeval  History.

The  College  does  not  propose  to  make  specialists  in  any  of  the 
departments  of  Science ;  yet,  the  design  is  to  teach  thoroughly, 
and  as  minutely  as  time  will  permit,  all  the  subjects  embraced 
in  this  Department. 

Students  begin  the  study  of  Science  with  Elementary  Natural 
History  of  Animals  in  the  first  year  of  the  Preparatory  course, 
and  finish  with  Geology  in  the  last  term  of  the  Senior  year. 

Geography  of  the  Heavens  and  Physical  Geography  to- 
gether cover  the  Fall  and  Winter  terms  of  the  Preparatory — 
first  year ;  the  studies  being  so  arranged  as  to  give  the  most 
favorable  season  for  the  study  of  the  constellations  and  heavenly 
bodies. 

Physiology,  including  Anatomy  and  Hygiene,  is  studied  by 
Freshmen.  The  study  of  Anatomy  will  be  aided  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable by  dissection  of  important  organs,  such  as  heart,  eye,  &c, 
of  ox  or  sheep,  and  by  the  use  of  the  miscroscope.  Text  book — 
Cutter. 

Zoology,  embracing  the  topics,  Biology,  Comparative  Anat- 
omy, and  Geographical  Distribution  of  Animals,  is  begun  in  the 
latter  part  of  the  Fall  term  of  the  Freshman  year,  and  extends 
through  the  Winter  term. 

Botany,  structural  and  physiological  is  studied  by  the  use  of 
text  book  and  microscopic  specimens ;  Systematic  Botany,  by  the 
analysis  of  specimens  in  the  class-room  and  in  the  field.  It  is  a 
Spring  term  study  of  the  Freshman  year.      Text  book — Gray. 

Natural  Philosophy  is  studied  by  the  Juniors  during  the 
entire  year,  devoting  the  Fall  term  to  Mechanics  and  Hydro- 
statics ;  Winter  and  Spring  terms  to  Pneumatics  and  Physics. 
Text  book — Snell's  Olmsted's. 


30  LEBANON    VALLEY   COLLEGE. 


Chemistry.  Instruction  in  Theoretical  and  Descriptive 
Chemistry  is  given  during  the  Fall  term  of  the  Senior  year.  A 
considerable  time  will  be  given  to  lectures  and  laboratory  work. 

Mineralogy  and  Geology  are  studied  by  the  Seniors  dur- 
ing the  Winter  and  Spring  terms.  A  short  course  in  Mineral- 
ogy precedes  the  study  of  Dynamical  and  Historical  Geology. 
Text  book — Dana. 

BOOKS  OF  REFERENCE. 

In  connection  with  the  study  of  text  books,  students  should 
read  as  much  collateral  matter  as  time  will  allow.  The  follow- 
ing books  will  be  found  valuable  as  furnishing  fuller  treatment 
of  subjects  than  it  is  possible  to  give  in  text  books:  Huxley's 
Physiology  or  Dalton's  Human  Physiology  ;  Packard's  Zoology  ; 
Gray's  Structural  Botany ;  Plantl  and  Vine's  Botany ;  Dana's 
Mechanics ;  Atkinson's  Ganot's  Physics  or  Deschanel's  Natural 
Philosophy  ;  Cook's  The  New  Chemistry  ;  Wurtz's  The  Atomic 
Theory ;  Dana's  Manual  of  Geology,  Le  Conte's  Geology;  Nich- 
olson's Ancient  Life  History  of  the  Earth. 


MODERN  LANGUAGES. 


Instruction  is  imparted  in  German  and  French  by  exercises  in 
translation,  by  conversational  practice  and  by  writing.  It  is  the 
aim  in  this  department,  so  to  master  these  languages,  that  they 
may  become  of  practical  value.  In  addition  to  the  text  books 
named  in  the  course,  the  following  are  recommended  :  Adler's 
German  and  English  Dictionary,  and  Spier's  and  Surenne's 
French  Pronouncing  Dictionary. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  MUSIC. 


MUSIC  COURSE. 

The  course  of  instruction  in  either  Piano  or  Voice  will  occupy 
three  years.  A  preparatory  year  is  also  required  of  those  who 
expect  to  enter  upon  the  regular  course,  and  are  not  already  fa- 
miliar with  the  rudiments  of  music.  Pupils  may  devote  their 
entire  time  to  music,  or  take  it  in  connection  with  other  studies. 
The  stated  time  for  completing  the  course  may  be  lengthened  or 
shortened,  according  to  the  advancement  of  the  pupil.     Some 


LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE.

pupils  will  accomplish  in  two  years  what  would  take  others  three 
or  four  years  to  complete.  A  knowledge  of  the  Elements  of 
Harmony  wTill  be  required,  or  one  year's  study,  in  order  to  grad- 
uate in  either  Piano  or  Voice.  At  the  close  of  each  term  a 
written  examination  is  made.  A  graduate  in  Voice  is  also  ex- 
pected to  acquire  a  degree  of  proficiency  on  the  Piano,  sufficient 
to  enable  him  to  play  his  own  accompaniments. 

PRIVATE  AND  CLASS  LESSONS. 

Private  lessons  will  be  given  at  extra  cost,  but  the  class  sys- 
tem is  strongly  recommended.  It  is  practiced  in  the  best  con- 
servatories of  this  country  and  Europe.  Mendelssohn  says:  "It 
has  advantages  over  private  instruction;  it  produces  industry, 
spurs  on  to  emulation,  and  preserves  against  one-sidedness  of  edu- 
cation and  taste."  "The  student  of  music  will  as  surely  fail  of 
a  complete  musical  education,  by  taking  private  instruction 
alone,  as  would  the  student  of  science  without  the  advantage  of 
the  College  or  University." 

Students  in  piano  are  arranged  in  classes  of  two.  Voice  cul- 
ture pupils  in  classes  of  two  or  four.  Harmony  students  in 
classes  of  four  or  six. 

Elements  of  music,  sight-singing  and  part-singing  classes  free 
to  all  music  pupils.  Public  recitals  are  given  by  the  music  pu- 
pils every  two  months. 

Pupils  will  take  practice  in  ensemble  playing. 

RECITATIONS. 

Classes  in  cultivation  of  the  voice,  piano-forte,  organ,  har-1 
mony,  and  chorus  practice  receive  two  lessons  a  week.  Students 
may  enter  at  any  time,  but  it  is  very  desirable  that  they  should 
begin  with  the  term  on  account  of  grading,  time  of  lessons,  &c. 
A  careful  examination  is  made  by  the  teacher,  in  charge  regard- 
ing the  proficiency  of  all  new  pupils,  that  they  may  be  properly 
classified  in  the  course. 

Sheet  music,  books,  &c,  can  be  obtained  at  reduced  rates. 

Those  who  complete  the  required  course  of  study  in  either 
Piano  or  Voice  are  awarded  a  diploma.  Diplomas  will  be  con- 
ferred only  at  the  Annual  Commencement.

Water  Colors.  It  is  intended  to  impart  the  essential  principles 
while  training  the  eye  and  hand  to  accurate  and  successful  prac- 
tice. Special  advantages  in  this  department  are  afforded  in  the 
system  of  giving  daily  lessons,  which  is  not  customary  in  schools 
not  specially  devoted  to  Art.  Students  in  this  department  will 
find  work  of  interest  on  the  subject  of  Art  in  the  College  Li- 
brary, and  are  required  to  study  "Samson's  Art  Criticism"  and 
"  DwigMs  Studies." 


ANNOUNCEMENTS. 


In  entering  upon  its  nineteenth  year,  the  College  re-announces 
its  faith  in  Christian  education  as  a  necessary  agency  in  the 
preservation  and  further  extension  of  Christian  civilization  and 
the  elevation  of  the  race.  It  also  warns  Christian  parents  against 
sending  their  sons  and  daughters  from  home  to  such  schools  as 
are  not  positively  under  religions  influences. 

The  College  advocates  the  liberal  education  of  the  masses, 
and  aims  to  furnish,  at  the  least  possible  expense  to  patrons,  the 
facilities  of  a  thorough  collegiate  education. 

For  location,  this  institution  is,  perhaps,  unsurpassed  in  beauty 
of  scenery  and  healthful nees  of  climate,  and  it  proposes  to  be  a 
faithful  guardian  of  the  moral,  intellectual,  and  physical  train- 
ing of  its  pupils ;  and  with  a  good  degree  of  satisfaction,  it  points 
to  its  brief,  but  successful  record.

GENERAL  INFORMATION. 


The  College  is  now  prepared  to  properly  preserve  and-  exhibit 
all  specimens  suitable  for  the  Museum,  and  contributions  are 
solicited;  in  all  cases,  care  will  be  taken  to  acknowledge  dona- 
tions, and  the  wishes  of  donors  will  be  fully  respected. 

Specimens  in  Geology,  Mineralogy,  Botauy  and  Zoology  are 
especially  solicited. 

Contributions  to  the  College  library  will  also  be  highly  appre- 
ciated, especially  of  old  and  rare  books  and  manuscripts  which 
should  be  preserved. 

Many  such  have  been,  and  will  be,  lost  in  the  possession  of 
private  individuals,  which  would  be  preserved,  if  deposited,  in 
the  library  of  a  permanent  institution. 


Books,  specimens  and  antique  relics  should  be  addressed  to 
the  Librarian,  or  Professor  of  the  Natural  Science  Department, 
with  the  donor's  name  legibly  signed. 


LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE  is  located  at  Annville, 
a  pleasant  rural  village,  situated  in  one  of  the  most  delightful 
portions  of  the  beautiful  Lebanon  Valley.  This  village  is  noted 
for  its  healthfulness  and  freedom  from  those  temptations  to  vice 
so  common  to  cities  and  large  towns.  It  is  accessible  from  all 
points,  being  located  on  the  direct  route  of  railroad  travel  from 
Harrisburg,  via  Reading,  to  Philadelphia  or  New  York.  Trains 
stopping  at  Annville,  leave  Harrisburg  and  Reading  seven  times 
a  day,  Sunday  excepted. 

Buildings  and  Grounds. 

There  are  two  large  brick  buildings,  provided  with  modern 
improvements,  and  capable  of  accommodating  a  large  number 
of  students.  The  rooms  are  arranged  for  two  students  each,  are 
well  ventilated,  contain  clothes  presses,  and  other  conveniences. 

There  has  recently  been  erected  a  third  building,  containing 
the  Library,  a  large  and  well-lighted  art  room,  two  music  rooms, 
the  entire  department  of  Natural  Science,  with  its  Laboratory 
and  Museum.  There  is  also  a  fine  campus  of  about  six  acres. 
The  Ladies'  Hall  is  entirely  separate  from  the  other  premises. 


LEBANON   VALLEY    COLLEGE. 


35 


The  Ladies'  Department  is  under  the  immediate  care  of  one 
of  the  lady  teachers,  and  young  ladies  from  abroad  are  furnished 
comfortable  and  pleasant  homes,  where  they  have  every  advan- 
tage for  study  and  general  improvement.  Non-resident  students 
board  in  the  Institution,  where  they  are  under  the  continual 
care  of  the  President  and  Professors. 

Furnishing  and  Outfit. 

Students  are  required  to  furnish  their  own  bedding,  except 
the  mattress,  bolster  and  pillows.  They  should  have  their 
blankets,  sheets,  pillow-cases  and  clothing  indelibly  marked  with 
their  full  names. 

Parents  and  guardians  are  advised  that  the  student  needs 
very  little  pocket  money.  In  many  cases  it  is  safer  that  his 
funds  be  entrusted  to  an  officer  of  the  Institution,  whose  discre- 
tion may  regulate  his  expenditures. 

Matriculation. 

No  one  is  recognized  as  a  student  or  permitted  to  enter  any 
class  of  the  College  until  he  is  matriculated,  and  his  matricula- 
tion is  deemed  a  pledge,  on  his  part,  to  obey  all  the  rules  and 
regulations  of  the  College. 

Recognizing  the  danger  and  evil  attendant  upon  the  practice 
of  carrying  fire-arms,  no  one  will  be  matriculated  who  brings 
with  him  a  pistol  or  revolver,  and  the  possession  of  either,  while 
connected  with  the  College,  will  be  deemed  sufficient  cause  for 
the  removal  of  the  offender.  The  attention  of  parents  and  guar-* 
dians  is  especially  called  to  this  condition  of  membership  in  the 
College. 

Discipline. 


The  object  of  the  Institution  is  to  afford  a  home,  where  par- 
ents or  guardians  may  place  their  sons,  daughters,  and  wards 
with  safety  and  profit,  aifd  where  young  men  and  young  women 
may  be  fitted  for  usefulness  under  influences  calculated  to  refine 
their  tastes,  ennoble  their  aspirations,  discipline  their  intellec- 
tual powers,  and  develop  a  high  Christian  character.  The  gov- 
ernment of  the  College  is  strict,  but  parental,  making  its 
appeal  to  the  student's  own  sense  of  honor,  but  no  one  habitually 
guilty  of  immoral  practices,  or  who  is  persistently  disorderly, 
can  be  tolerated  in  the  institution.  Every  unexcused  absence, 
failure,  or  misdemeanor  of  a  student  is  reported  to  the  Faculty, 
and  a  record  made  of  the  same. 


36 


LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE. 


The  first  three  demerit  marks  will  subject  the  student  to  pri- 
vate reproof ;  the  first  six  to  reproof  before  the  Faculty;  the 
first  nine  to  reproof  in  public,  with  notice  to  parent  or  guardian; 
and  the  first  twelve  to  dismission  from  the  College. 

The  Faculty  may,  on  evidence  of  reformation,  restore  a  dis- 
missed student. 

Studies  and  Recitation. 

Students  are  required  to  pursue  the  studies  of  the  classes  to 
which  they  are   assigned,  unless  exempted  for   special  reasons. 

No  student  is  permitted  to  take  a  study  to  which  he  has  not 
been  assigned,  nor  to  discontinue  a  study  without  permission 
obtained  from  the  Faculty. 

Grading. 

Students  are  graded  on  their  work  in  the  recitation  room. 
The  standard  of  perfection  in  scholarship  is  one  hundred.  The 
student's  standing  is  determined  by  the  average  of  his  term  and 
examination  grades.  A  grade  of  less  than  sixty-five  per  centum 
will  compel  the  student  to  submit  to  a  second  examination,  or  to 
repeat  the  study  with  the  next  lower  class. 

At  the  end  of  each  term  the  grades,  with  a  report  of  the  gen- 
eral deportment  of  all  preparatory  students,  are  sent  to  the  par- 
ents or  guardians  of  the  same.  Parents  having  children  in  the 
College  classes,  and  desiring  their  report  and  grades,  may  obtain 
them  by  applying  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Faculty. 


Examinations. 


Regular  examinations  are  held  at  the  middle  and  close  of  each 
term.  The  examinations  are  intended  to  be  thorough,  and  have 
an  influence  in  determining  the  standing  of  the  student. 

In  all  cases,  when  from  any  cause,  a  student  has  failed  to  be 
present  at  the  regular  examination,  he  shall  undergo  an  exami- 
nation before  being  permitted  again  to*  recite  in  the  classes  of 
the  College. 

The  final  examinations  of  the  Seniors  are  held  two  weeks  be- 
fore Commencement,  from  which  time  they  are  subject  only  to 
such  duties  as  are  required  for  their  preparation  for  graduation. 

Candidates  for  class  standing,  other  than  those  who  have 
regularly  pursued  their  studies  at  the  College,  or,  who  bring 
certificates  of  class  standing  in  other  institutions,  are  required  to 
pass  special  examinations,  either  at  the  beginning  or  end  of  a 
term.     Examination  fee,  five  dollars. 


LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE.

Promotion. 

At  the  beginning  of  each  term,  the  old  classes  are  re-organized* 
and  new  ones  are  formed.  At  or  near  the  close  of  each  aca- 
demic year,  the  names  of  all  the  members  of  each  class  sepa- 
rately, come  before  the  Faculty  for  promotion,  and  those  of  the 
senior  class  for  graduation,  and  no  student  is  promoted  to  a 
higher  class,  or  to  graduation,  except  upon  the  unanimous  vote 
of  the  Faculty. 

Rhetorical  Exercise. 

There  are  five  rhetorical  classes  in  the  College,  which,  with 
the  literary  societies,  afford  frequent  opportunities  for  exercise 
in  composition  and  oratory. 

Advanced  classes  are  required  to  take  part  in  public  exercises 
two  or  three  times  a  year. 

Leave  of  Absence. 

No  student  is  allowed  to  be  absent  during  the  term  without 
special  permission.  The  absence  of  a  student,  for  even  a  day, 
during  his  term  time,  exerts  on  his  progress  an  evil  influence, 
which  is  seldom  fully  appreciated  by  parents  and  guardians; 
hence,  no  apology,  but  that  of  sickness  or  unavoidable  accident, 
is  sufficient  to  excuse  a  student  from  a  regular  attendance  at 
recitation. 

No  student,  during  the  term  is  expected  to  quit  the  Institu- 
tion without  the  consent  of  the  President  and  Faculty.  , 

Any  student  prevented  from  attending  class  must  present  to 
the  professor  in  charge  a  written  excuse  for  being  absent. 

Religious  Services. 

Religious  service  is  held  in  the  College  Chapel  on  the  morn- 
ing of  each  day,  and  all  students  are  required  to  attend. 

Students  from  abroad,  who  are  residents  of  the  College,  are 
also  required  to  attend  public  worship  on  the  Sabbath  in  the 
United  Brethren  church,  unless  otherwise  directed  by  the  Fac- 
ulty, except  those  who  on  account  of  church  membership,  or 
wish  of  parent  or  guardian,  may  prefer  to  attend  church  else- 
where. 

A  students'  prayer  meeting,  which  all  are  invited  to  attend, 
is  held  on  each  Tuesday  evening. 

A  prayer  meeting  is  conducted  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  of  the 
College,  on  each  Saturday  evening.

Highee  Education  of  Women. 

The  principle  of  co-education  of  the  sexes  was  adopted  from 
the  first  by  the  founders  of  the  College — and  the  entire  absence 
of  College  barbarities  and  excesses,  as  well  as  the  manifestation 
of  a  tendency  to  a  higher  standard  of  scholarship,  from  year  to 
year,  prove  the  wisdom  of  this  natural  order  of  things.  The 
facilities  of  the  College — the  courses  of  study — and  the  encour- 
agements to  a  thorough  education  are  offered  alike  to  all.  And 
experience  has  shown  that  there  is  no  appreciable  difference  be- 
tween the  male  and  the  female,  as  such,  as  to  ability  in  master- 
ing the  studies  of  a  college  course. 

Help  for  Indigent  Students. 

The  College  has  methods  of  assisting  a  limited  number  of 
worthy  young  men  who  have  not  the  means  of  defraying  their 
own  expenses,  and  yet  scores  apply  from  year  to  year,  both  of 
ladies  and  gentlemen,  whom  we  have  not  the  means  to  help. 
May  not  this  fact,  in  its  simple  statement,  be  a  sufficient  appeal 
to  lead  many  to  endow  a  scholarship,  the  income  of  which  will 
be  sufficient  to  help  to  an  education  those  who  could  not  other- 
wise obtain  it? 


Libraries  and  Cabinet. 

The  College  Library,  co  which  all  the  students  have  daily  ac- 
cess without  charge,  contains  nineteen  hundred  volumes,  one 
hundred  volumes  having  been  added  the  past  year.  The  libra- 
ries of  the  literary  societies  also  comprise  a  respectable  number 
of  well-selected  and  standard  volumes.  The  libraries  are  con- 
stantly increasing  by  donations  from  friends  of  the  College. 

The  cabinet  contains  a  collection  of  specimens  in  Mineralogy, 
Geology  and  Natural  History. 

The  collection  of  apparatus,  as  well  as  of  specimens,  receives 
additions  from,  time  to  time,  through  the  kindness  and  liberality 
of  friends  of  the  College.  Among  the  gifts  of  the  present  year 
may  be  mentioned:  An  air-pump  by  the  Class  of  1883,  and  a 
collection  of  the  minerals  of  Berks  County,  by  Prof.  D.  B. 
Brunner,  of  Reading,  Pa.

Literary  Societies. 

There  are  connected  with  the  College  three  literary  societies — ' 
the  Philokosmian,  the  Kalozetean,  and  the  Clionian. 
The  last  is  the  ladies'  society.  Each  has  its  proper  hall  and 
its  own  library.  These  societies  are  regarded  as  valuable  aids  to 
college  work,  and  students  are  advised  to  join  one  of  them. 

There  is,  also,  a  branch  organization  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association  which  holds  weekly  meetings. 

In  addition  to  the  above  advantages,  the  Philokosmian 
Literary  Society  has  an  established  Reading  Room,  in  which

ENDOWMENT. 


There  are  Christian  men  and  women,  who  in  their  youthful 
days,  could  not  devote  themselves  to  the  pursuits  of  knowledge, 
for  want  of  means;  throughout  their  life  they  have  felt  that  they 
might  have  been  more  useful  and  happy,  had  the  opportunities  of 
securing  an  education  been  afforded  them.  Will  not  these  noble 
men  and  women  become  the  benefactors  of  those  worthy  young 
people,  many  of  whom  now  are  thirsting  for  an  education,  but 
who  are  so  circumstanced  that  they  cannot  obtain  it. 

Those  wishing  to  consecrate  some  of  their  means  to  such  an 
end,  are  solicited  to  endow  limited  scholarships  in  Lebanon  Val- 
ley College,  to  assist  those  who  are  deserving  of  help.  These 
may  vary  in  amount  from  $500  to  $2,000.  They  may  also  help 
to  bring  the  opportunities  of  an  education  within  the  reach  of 
those  in  limited  circumstances  by  contributing  to  the  endowment 
of  the  College. 


Form  of  Scholarship  Bequest. 

I  bequeath  to  my  executors  the  sum  of dollars, 

in  trust,  to  pay  over  the  same  in months  after  my 

decease,  to  the  person  who,  when  the  same  is  payable,  shall  act 
as  Treasurer  of  Lebanon  Valley  College,  founded  at  Ann- 
ville,  Pennsylvania,  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
sixty-seven,  as  a  scholarship  fund,  the  interest  of  which  only  is, 
to  be  loaned  without  charge,  to  such  pious  young  people  as  the 
Faculty  of  the  College  may  deem  worthy  of  help  as  students, 
the  principal  of  the  scholarship  to  be  under  the  direction  and 
management  of  the  Trustees  of  the  College. 

Form  of  Bequest  to  the  Endowment  Fund. 

I  bequeath  to  my  executors  the  sum  of dollars, 

in  trust,  to  pay  over  the  same  in months  after  my 

decease,  to  the  person  who,  when  the  same  is  payable,  shall  act 
as  Treasurer  of  Lebanon  Valley  College,  founded  in  Ann- 
ville,  Pennsylvania,  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
sixty-seven,  the  same  to  be  sacred  as  an  endowment  fund  in  said 
College,  the  interest  only  to  be  used  for  the  payment  of  instruc- 
tors in  the department;  the  principal  of  said  be- 
quest to  be  under  the  direction  and  management  of  the  Trustees 
of  the  College.
