HISTORY  OF  THE  COLLEGE  7 

HISTORY  OF  THE  COLLEGE 

Lebanon  Vali^Ky  Collegk  originated  in  the  action  of  East  Penn- 
sylvania Conference  at  its  annual  session  held  at  Lebanon  in  March,  1865. 
Resolutions  were  passed  deciding  the  question  of  establishing  a  higher 
institution  of  learning  to  be  located  within  the  bounds  of  the  East  Penn- 
sylvania or  of  the  Pennsylvania  Conference.  One  year  later  the  com- 
mittee appointed,  recommended  in  its  report:  First,  the  establishment 
of  a  school  of  high  grade  under  the  supervision  of  the  church;  second, 
to  accept  for  this  purpose  the  grounds  and  buildings  of  what  was  then 
known  as  the  Annville  Academy,  tendered  as  a  gift  to'  the  Conference; 
and,  third,  to  lease  the  buildings  and  grounds  to  a  responsible  party 
competent  to  take  charge  of  the  school  for  the  coming  year.  School 
opened  May  7,  1S66,  with  forty-nine  students.  By  the  close  of  the  col- 
legiate year  one  hundred  and  iifty-three  were  enrolled,  thus  demonstrat- 
ing at  once  the  need  of  such  an  institution  in  this  locality  and  the  wis- 
dom of  the  founders. 

In  April,  1867,  the  Legislature  granted  a  charter  with  full  university 
privileges  under  which  a  College  faculty  was  organized  with  Rev. 
Thomas  Rees  Vickroy,  Ph.  D.,  as  president,  and  Prof.  E.  Benjamin 
Bierman,  A.M.,  as  principal  of  tlie  Normal  Department.  The  same  year 
the  Philokosmian  Literary  Society  was  organized  by  the  young  men, 
additional  land  was  purchased  and  a  large  brick  building  erected  there- 
on with  chapel,  recitation  rooms,  president's  office,  and  apartments  for 
sixty  boarding  students.  The  building  was  not  furnished  and  fully  oc- 
cupied till  the  fall  of  1868. 

The  first  regular  comm.encement  occurred  June  16,  1S70,  when  the 
first  three  graduates,  William  B.  Bodenhorn,  Albert  C.  Rigler,  and  Mary 
A.  Weiss  received  their  diplomas. 

About  two  years  later  opposition  to  the  school  manifested  itself  and 
President  Vickroy  stated  in  his  report  to  the  annual  Conference  that 
the  attendance  of  students  was  reduced  from  one  hundred  to  seventy- 
five,  and  the  cause  of  this  diminution  was  persistent  opposition  on  the 
part  of  certain  brethren. 

President  Vickroy  directed  the  affairs  of  the  institution  for  five 
years,  from  1866  to  1871.  During  his  administration  the  charter  was 
prepared  and  granted  by  the  State  Legislature,  the  laws  and  regulations 
for  the  internal  workings  framed  and  adopted,  the  curriculum  establish- 
ed, and  two  classes — those  of  1870  and  1871 — were  graduated.  In  June, 
187 1,  Prof.  Lucian  H.  Hammond  was  elected  president.  During  his 
term  of  office  five  classes  were  graduated,  the  Clionian  Literary  Society 


8  I.EBANON  VAIvLKY  COIvLKGE 

organized  by  the  ladies,  and  the  College  made  steady  and  substantial 
progress,  but  failing  health  compelled  him  to  resign  in  June,  1876. 

Rev.  David  D.  DeLong,  D.  D.,  became  the  third  president.  He 
found  it  necessary  to  reconstruct  the  faculty  and  retained  but  two  of 
the  former  teachers.  The  Kalozetean  Literary  Society  was  instituted 
to  awaken  interest  in  literary  work  among  the  young  men  by  means  of 
a  healthy  rivalry,  and  the  music  department  was  organized.  In  the 
summer  of  1883  a  large  two-story  frame  building  was  erected  on  College 
Avenue,  containing  art  room,  music  rooms,  the  department  of  natural 
science,  a  museum  and  the  College  library.  During  his  presidency 
one-hundred  and  seven  students  were  graduated,  fourteen  in  music  and 
ninety-three  in  the  literary  department. 

After  an  interregnum  of  several  months  Rev.  Edmund  S.  Lorenz, 
A.  M.,  was  elected  president  and  took  up  the  work  with  energy  and 
ability.  Enlargement  was  his  motto  and  the  friends  of  the  College 
rallied  to  his  support.  Post  graduate  studies  were  offered.  The  Col- 
lege Forum  made  its  appearance  under  the  editorship  of  the  Faculty. 
With  a  devotion  that  won  the  admiration  of  his  friends  he  labored  in- 
cessantly for  nearly  two  years  to  make  the  College  the  peer  of  any  in 
the  State,  but  under  this  strain  his  health  failed  and  he  was  obliged  to 
retire  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year  of  18S9. 

The  fifth  president.  Rev.  Cyrus  J.  Kephart,  D.  D.,  assumed  the 
duties  of  his  office  at  the  opening  of  the  fall  term  in  1889.  He  secured 
creditable  additions  to  the  endowment  fund  but  because  of  discouraging 
conditions  declined  re-election  at  the  close  of  the  first  year. 

The  question  of  re-locating  the  College  agitated  its  constituency, 
divided  its  friends  and  greatly  hindered  its  progress.  Some  were  al- 
most in  despair,  others  were  indifferent,  while  others  hoped  and  waited 
for  the  best.  Under  these  conditions  the  Board  of  Trustees  met  in 
special  session  July  28,  1890,  and  called  Dr.  E.  Benjamin  Bierman  to  the 
presidenc\ .  He  was  inaugurated  on  the  evening  of  the  sixth  of  Novem- 
ber following.  Buildings  were  renovated,  a  large  number  of  students 
enrolled  and  the  Marv  A.  Dodge  Fund  of  ten  thousand  dollars  received, 
"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  Silver  Anniversary  of  the  College  was  celebrated 
June  15,  1892.  when  money  was  raised  to  purchase  about  three  acres  of 
ground  to  be  added  to  the  college  campus.  With  the  experience  of 
twenty-five  years  of  earnest  effort  to  combat  opposition  and  overcome 
error  and  misconceived  notions  of  higher  education  and  to  build  up  an 
institution  of  learning  creditable  to  the    United    Brethren    Church,    the 


HISTORY  OF  THE  COLLEGE  9 

friends  of  the  College  entered  upon    the    second    quarter    of    a    century 
with  new  hope  and  aspiration. 

President  Bieruian  served  successfully  until  the  spring  of  1897,  when 
he  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Hervm  U.  Roop,  Ph.  D.,  who  held  the  ofQce 
till  Jan.  I,  1906,  after  which  time  the  administration  was  in  the  hands 
of  the  Executive  Committee  and  the  Faculty  until  the  election  of  Rev. 
A.  P.  Funkhouser,  A.  M.,  March  9,  1906. 

The  presidency  of  Dr.  Roop  stands  out  as  the  period  when  the 
group  system  in  the  College  curriculum  was  introduced,  when  the  ath- 
letic field  was  acquired,  when  tiie  disastrous  fire  of  December  24,  1904, 
occured,  sweeping  away  the  Administration  Building  in  a  few  hours, 
and  when  several  new  buildings  arose  on  the  campus — Engle  Music 
Hall  1899,  a^id  the  Carnegie  Library  and  Ladies'  Dormitory  in  1904.  The 
recuperative  powers  of  the  institution  were  put  to  the  test  by  the 
destruction  of  the  main  building.  At  a  meeting  held  January  5,  1905, 
the  friends  of  the  College  resolved,  amid  unusual  enthusiasm  to  rebuild 
at  once  and  with  the  stimulus  of  a  gift  of  fifty  thousand  dollars  from 
Andrew  Carnegie  received  b}'  the  President,  who  had  previously  secured 
$20,000  from  the  same  source  plans  were  matured  by  which  to  raise  one 
hundred  thousand  dollars  for  this  purpose.  The  erection  of  three  new 
buildings  was  projected — the  Men's  Dormitory,  the  Central  Heating 
Plant  and  the  new  Administration  Building,  the  latter  being  completed 
under  the  supervision  of  President  Funkhouser,  whose  term  of  office  is 
marked  also  by  a  strenuous  effort  to  straighten  ont  the  tangled  threads 
in  the  financial  skein  and  to  meet  the  debt  which  rose  to  almost  or  al- 
together ninety  thousand  dollars.  Bonds  were  issued  to  the  amount  of 
fifty  thousand  dollars  and  the  co-operative  college  circles  organized  to 
relieve  the  financial  conditions. 

Rev.  Lawrence  Keister,  S.  T.  B.,  D.  D.,  was  elected  president  of  the 
College,  June  10,  1907,  at  the  annual  session  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
During  his  first  year  he  solicited  the  money  to  secure  the  much  needed 
equipment  for  the  Science  Department.  The  debt  effort  authorized  by 
the  Board,  June  3,  1908,  was  carried  forward  successfully,  $50,000  hav- 
ing been  pledged,  before  Jan.  i,  1909,  according  to  the  condition  of  the 
pledge  which  also  required  the  continuation  of  the  canvass  to  secure 
another  $50,000  in  order  to  cover  the  entire  debt.  The  next  forward 
step  should  be  an  endowment  of  $250,000  to  commemorate  the  semi- 
centennial in  1916.

GENERAL  INFORMATION 

The  College  is  situated  in  Annville,  which  is  on  the  Harrisburg 
division  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railway.  Annville  is  also 
connected  by  trolley  line  with  Lebanon  and  Harrisburg. 

Buildings  and  Grounds. 

There  are  seven  buildings  on  the  campus,  the  Carnegie  Library,  the 
Engle  Music  Hall,  the  Women's  Dormitory,  the  Men's  Dormitory,  the 
Academy  Building,  the  Administration  Building,  and  the  Heating  Plant, 

THE  CARNEGIE  LIBRARY,  a  building  of  the  Gothic  style  of 
architecture,  erected  in  1904,  furnishes  commodious  quarters  for  the 
growing  library  of  the  College.  Each  department  has  its  particular 
books  for  reference  in  addition  to  the  large  number  of  volumes  for  gen- 
eral reference  and  study.  An  annual  amount  is  appropriated  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees  for  the  purchase  of  new  books,  and  plans  are  being 
made  for  the  enlargement  of  the  library  in  order  to  meet  the  growing 
needs  of  the  College. 

Two  large  reading  rooms  on  the  first  floor,  splendidly  lighted  and 
ventilated,  and  beautifully  furnished,  are  provided  with  the  leading 
magazines  and  daily  papers.  Periodicals  devoted  to  the  special  work 
of  each  department  are  here,  as  well  as  magazines  of  general  literature. 
On  the  second  floor  are  six  seminar  rooms  designed  to  be  equipped  with 
the  special  works  of  reference  for  the  various  departments,  where  stu- 
dents doing  the  most  serious  work  may  study  undisturbed. 

THE  ENGLE  MUSIC  HALL,  of  Hummelstown  brownstone, 
erected  in  1899,  contains  the  college  chapel,  used  for  all  large  college 
gatherings,  a  director's  office  and  studio,  practice  rooms,  and  a  large 
society  hall.  The  building  is  well  equippei^  with  pianos  and  a  large 
pipe  organ. 

THE  WOMEN'S  DORMITORY  was  erected  in  1905,  and  is  a 
building  of  beautiful  proportions.  In  addition  to  rooms  which  will  ac- 
commodate forty-five  students,  there  are  a  society  hall,  a  dining  hall,  a 
well  equipped  kitchen,  and  a  laundry. 

THE  MEN'S  DORMITORY  is  a  modern  structure  of  brick  with 
Indiana  limestone  trimmings.  It  contains  single  and  double  rooms  and 
sixteen  suites  of  two  bed  rooms  with  a  separate  study  room.  These 
afford  accommodations  for  eighty-five  students.  This  building  was  also 
erected  in  1905. 


GENERAI.  INFORMATION  ii 

THE  ACADEMY  BUILDING,  the  original  building  of  the  insti- 
tution, and  acquired  by  gift  in  1866  when  the  College  was  founded,  is 
now  used  as  a  dormitory. 

THE  HEATING  PLANT,  erected  in  1905,  is  in  harmony  with  the 
buildings  above  described.  It  contains  a  low  pressure  heating  system 
of  the  most  perfect  construction  and  supplies  the  heat  for  ail  the  build- 
ings on  the  campus.  It  is  constructed  with  a  view  to  the  installation  of 
a  light  plant. 

THE  ADMINISTRATION  BUILDING  is  the  most  important  and 
central  of  the  buildings.  It  is  built  of  buff  brick  with  terra  cotta  trim- 
mings, three  stories  high.  It  contains  the  recitation  rooms  of  the  Col- 
lege and  the  laboratories  of  the  science  department.  The  department 
of  art  has  here  commodious  and  modern  quarters.  The  administration 
offices  of  fire  proof  construction  are  on  the  first  floor. 

To  accommodate  all  these  buildings,  the  campus,  originally  of  ten 
acres,  has  been  recently  enlarged  by  purchase.  It  occupies  a  high  point 
in  the  centre  of  the  town  of  Annville  and  is  within  easy  access  of  all 
trolley  and  railroad  lines. 

The  athletic  field  of  five  and  one-half  acres  is  well  located  and  ad- 
mirably adapted  to  the  purpose  for  which  it  is  intended.  On  it  are 
erected  a  grand  stand  and  bleachers. 


Laboratories 

The  entire  northern  half  of  the  Administration  Building  is  occupied 
by  the  department  of  science.  The  Department  of  Chemistry  occupies 
the  first  floor;  Physics  the  second,  and  Biology  the  third. 

The  laboratories  of  each  department  are  constructed  after  the  most 
approved  modern  methods,  and  students  find  everything  arranged  for 
their  convenience.  Stock  rooms  and  special  laboratories  adjoin  the 
general  laboratories.  The  lecture  rooms  are  provided  with  risers  and 
Columbia  tablet  arm  chairs.     ySee  floor  plan  page  34). 


Religious  Work. 

Recognizing  that  most  of  its  students  come  from  Christian  families, 
the  College  has  always  tried  to  furnish  religious  training.  It  believes 
in  cultivating  the  heart  as  well  as  the  mind,  and  encourages  all  whole- 
some means  of  promoting  Christian  influence. 


12  LKBANON  VAIvIvKY  COI^IvEGK 

Each  school  morning,  a  regular  service  is  held  in  the  college  chapel, 
at  which  the  students  are  required  to  be  present.  At  this  service  there 
is  singing,  reading  of  Scripture,  and  prayer.  Members  of  the  Faculty 
conduct  this'  service. 

A  student's  prayer  meeting  is  held  once  a  week,  and  opportunities 
for  Bible  study  and  mission  study  are  offered  by  the  Christian  Associ- 
ations in  addition  to  those  afforded  by  the  regular  curriculum. 

All  resident  students  of  the  College  are  required  to  attend  public 
worship  in  churches  of  their  choice  every  Sunday. 

The  religious  life  during  the  past  year  has  been  earnest  and  help- 
ful, and  patrons  may  feel  satisfied  that  high  moral  influences  are  being 
exerted  constantly  over  their  children. 


College  Organizations 

Chri   fifln  '^^^    College   has   flourishing    Young    Men's    and 

Young  Women's  Christian    Associations,    which  hold 
regular    weekly     devotional    services     and     conduct 

special  courses  of  Bible  and  mission  study,  often  in  charge  of   members 

of  the  Faculty. 

Under  these  auspices   numerous   public   lectures,    entertainments, 

and  socials  are  held,  so  that  they  contribute  incalculably  to  the  pleasure 

of  the  student  body.     They  are  the  centre  of  the  spiritual  welfare  of  the 

students  and    deserve    the    hearty    support   of   all    connected    with    the 

College. 

Literarv  Excellent  opportunities   for    literary    improvement  and 

parliamentary  traininji  are  afforded  by  the  societies  of

the  College.  There  are  three  of  these  societies — one  sus- 
tained by  the  young  ladies,  the  Clionian,  and  two  bj^  the  young  men, 
the  Kalozetean  and  the  Philokosmian.  They  meet  every  Friday  even- 
ing in  their  well  furnished  halls  for  literary  exercises  consisting  of 
orations,  essays  and  debates.  These  societies  are  considered  valuable 
agencies  in  college  work,  and  students  are  advised  to  unite  with  one  of 
them.

Associations 


HISTORY  OF  THE  COLLKGK  13 

Athletic  ^^^^  Athletic  Association  is  composed  of  all  students 

.     .  and  others  connected  with  the  College,    who    pay    the 

Association     required  athletic  fee.     It  elects,  besides  its  own  officers, 
the  managers  of  the  various  athletic  teams. 

The  direct  supervision  of  athletics  is  in  the  hands  of  the  committee 
of  the  association,  called  the  executive  board  of  athletics.  This  board 
is  made  up  of  seven  members  as  follows:  Two  members  of  the  Faculty 
of  the  College;  the  president  of  the  association,  who  is  ex-officio  presi- 
dent of  the  board;  the  baseball,  football,  and  basket-ball  managers, 
and  the  treasurer  of  the  association. 

The  Mathematical  ^^'"^  Mathematical  Round  Table  is  an   organi- 

zation  of  the  students  of  the  College  who  are 
Round  Table  interested  in  Mathematical  Studies.  It  has 
been  in  successful  operation  for  over  a  year.  Its  object  is  to  create  in- 
terest in  and  love  for  the  "exact  science."  Its  meetings  are  held  on  the 
last  Wednesday  evening  of  each  month.  Papers  on  mathematical  his- 
tory and  biography  are  read  and  discussed.  Current  events  in  the 
mathematical  world  and  papers  on  various  mathematical  subjects  have 
made  the  meetings  very  interesting  and  helpful.  The  club  celebrated 
its  first  anniversary  on  February  twenty-third.  Prof.  George  H.  Hal- 
lett,  Ph.  D.,  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  delivered  the  address 
on  "Some  Concepts  which  are  Fundamental  to  Klementary  Mathe- 
matics." 

Modern  Lan=  ^"  order  to  stimulate  interest   in   the    study   of   the 

modern  languages,  at  the  request   of   the   junior   and 
*      *  senior  students  of  the  modern  language  group,  a  club 

has  been  formed  under  the  direction  of  the  adviser  of  the  group.  The 
club  meets  every  third  Saturday  afternoon  or  evening  as  occasion  sug- 
gests. Student  programs  alternate  with  lectures  by  the  teachers  in  the 
department. 

Literary  and  Musical  Advantages 

During  the  college  year,  the  student  body  has  the  privilege  of  hear- 
ing lectures  and  talks  delivered  by  resident  professors  and  men  of  note 
in  church  and  literary  circles. 

The  department  of  music  together  with  the  department  of  public 
speaking  presents  a  number  of  programs  during  the  year  for  the  pleas- 
ure and  benefit  of  the  general  student  body.  Concerts  and  recitals  by 
prominent  musicians  are  given  under  the  patronage  of   the   department 


14  IvEBANON  VAIvIvKY  COLLEGK 

of  music  with  the  aim  of  creating  in  the  student  an  appreciation  for  the 
best  in  art. 

There  is  a  lively  interest  in  the  drama.  Various  college  organiza- 
tions have  presented  Shakespearean  and  other  plays  of  a  high  grade. 

A  further  means  of  enjoyment  and  education  is  the  course  of  lec- 
tures and  concerts  under  the  management  of  the  Christian  associations 
of  the  College. 

Administration 

.  ,    .  The  following  are  the  advisers  for   the   students   in    each 

Advise  vs 

of  the  five  groups  in  which  courses  of  instruction  are  of- 
fered: For  the  classical  group,  Professor  Shroyer;  for  the  mathemati- 
cal-physical, Professor  Lehman;  for  the  chemical-biological,  Professor 
Derickson;  for  the  historical-political.  Professor  Shenk;  for  the  modern 
language,  Professor  Dodge;  for  the  freshman  class,  Professor  Shenk  and 
for  the  Academy,  Professor  Spessard.  The  students  of  each  group  are 
amenable  to  the  adviser  in  all  matters  of  conduct,  study  and  discipline. 
He  is  to  grant  leave  of  absence,  permission  to  go  out  of  town,  and  ex- 
cuses. His  approval  is  necessary  before  a  student  may  register  for  or 
enter  upon  any  course  of  study,  or  discontinue  any  work.  He  is  the 
medium  of  communication  between  the  Faculty  and  the  students  of  his 
group,  and  in  a  general  way  stands  to  his  students  in  the  relation  of  a 
friendly  counsellor. 

.    J.  It  is  earnestly  desired    that    students    may  be  influenced 

to  good  conduct  and  diligence  by  higher  motives  than 
fear  of  punishment.  The  sense  of  duty  and  honor,  the  courteous  and 
general  feelings  natural  to  young  men  and  women  engaged  in  literary 
pursuits,  are  appealed  to  as  the  best  regulators  of  conduct.  It  is  the 
policy  of  the  administration  to  allow  in  all  things  as  much  liberty  as  will 
not  be  abused,  and  the  students  are  invited  and  expected  to  cooperate 
with  the  Faculty;  but  good  order  and  discipline  will  be  strictly  main- 
tained and  misconduct  punished  by  adequate  penalties.  The  laws  of 
the  College  are  as  few  and  simple  as  the  proper  regulation  of  a  commu- 
nity of  young  men  and  women  will  permit.  The  College  will  not  place 
its  stamp  or  bestow  its  honors  upon  anyone  who  is  not  willing  to  deport 
himself  becomingly.  No  hazing  of  any  kind  will  be  permitted.  Every 
unexcused  absence  from  any  college  duty,  every  failure  or  misdemeanor 
of  a  student  is  reported  to  the  Faculty,  and  a  record  made  of  the  same.

as  follows:

Reports  of  standing  will  be  made  to  parent  or  guardian  at  the  end 
of  each  term  when  desired  by  them,  or  when  the  Faculty  deems  it  ex- 
pedient. The  standing  is  indicated  generally  by  classification  in  six 
groups,  as  follows: 

A  signifies  that  the  record  of  the  student  is  distinguished. 

B  signifies  that  the  lecord  of  the  student  is  very  good. 

C  signifies  that  the  record  is  good. 

D  signifies  the  lowest  sustained  record. 

E  (conditioned)  imposes  a  condition  on  the  student.  Conditions 
incurred  in  January  must  be  made  up  b}"  June;  conditions  incurred  in 
June  must  be  made  up  by  September.  Failing  to  make  up  a  condition 
at  the  time  appointed  is  equal  to  a  record  F. 

F  (failed  completely)  signifies  that  the  student  must  drop  or  repeat 
the  subjects,  and  cannot  be  admitted  to  subjects  dependent  thereon. 

If  the  student's  record  as  a  whole  is  poor,  he  may  be  required  to 
repeat  certain  subjects,  to  repeat  the  year,  or  to  withdraw.

of  the  Board  of  Trustees  on    recommendation    of   the 
ana      ip  oma     p^j^^it-y^  upon  students  who  have    satisfactorily    com-

graduate  work,  the  Faculty  deems  it  unwise  to    offer  any 

^  work  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  during  the  coming 
year.  In  rare  cases  sufficient  resident  work  upon  certain  advanced 
courses  may  be  outlined.  But  as  special  action  would  be  required  in 
each  case,  no  detailed  announcement  can  be  made  here.  All  inquiries 
about  graduate  work  should  be  addressed  to  the  Dean.

Scholarships 

The  College  offers  a  limited  number  of  one. hundred-dollar  free 
tuition  scholarships  to  honor  graduates  of  State  normal  Schools  and  ap- 
proved high  schools  and  academies.  One  scholarship  is  allotted  to  the 
first  honor  graduate  of  our  own  academy. 

Graduates  of  high  schools  and  academies  whose  standard  is  not 
equal  to  that  of  our  own  academy,  may  enter  the  senior  year  of  the 
academy  and  become  competitors  for  our  own  academy  scholarship. 

Honor  graduates  of  preparatory  schools  who  have  conditions  may 
be  allowed  to  make  them  up  in  the  freshmen  year.  If  the  first  sem- 
ester's work  shows  a  majority  of  A's  and  nothing  less  than  B  in  all 
work  including  conditions,  a  scholarship  may  be  awarded. 

The  Bishop  J.  S.  Mills'  scholarship  established  by  a  gift  of  $1000 
will  be  available  in  1910-11. 

The  Faculty  and  Executive  Committee  shall  make  all  scholarship 
awards.

Biology 

PROFESSOR    DERICKSON 

The  courses  of  instruction  cover  four  ^''ears.  They  are  recognized 
as  being  as  valuable  in  developing  the  powers  of  the  mind  as  the  other 
courses  in  the  college  curriculum,  in  that  they  develop  the  powers  of 
observation  and  thought  essential  to  the  understanding  of  all  phases  of 
the  phenomena  of  human  existence. 

The  courses  have  been  outlined  with  a  three-fold  purpose  in  view. 

First,  to  meet  the  demand  for  a  general  training  in  biology,  caused 
by  the  recently  established  conclusion  among  educators,  that  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  principles  of  biology  is  not  only  a  useful  but  an  essential 
factor  in  any  course  of  training  in  which  social  and  moral  questions  are 
to  be  considered. 

Second,  to  meet  the  demand  of  the  high  schools  for  college  trained 
teachers  in  biology. 

Third,  to  lay  a  broad  foundation  in  the  science  for  those  who  desire 
to  pursue  post  graduate  courses  in  universities  and  medical  colleges. 

Students  desiring  to  elect  a  single  year's  work  in  biology  are  ad- 
vised to  elect  I — b;  if  two  years,  i — a  and  i — b  or  i  —  b  and  3  and  4,  de- 
pending on  the  object  in  view.  Those  contemplating  a  career  in  medi- 
cine, or  the  profession  of  teaching  biology  or  a  post  graduate  course  in 
biology,  are  urged  to  complete  all  the  courses  offered. 

Description  of  Courses. 

i-a.  Plant  Biology — Four  hours.  Two  lectures  or  recitations  and 
two  laboratory  periods  of  two  hours  each,  per  week.  Throughout  the 
year.  The  object  of  the  course  is  to  give  the  student  a  broad  general 
knowledge  of  the  plant  kingdom.  The  form,  structure  and  functioning 
of  one  or  more  types  of  each  of  the  divisions  of  algae,  fungi,  liverworts, 
mosses,  ferns  and  flowering  plants,  are  studied. 

Special  attention  is  given  to  the  ontogeny  and  phylogeny  of  the 
several  groups  suggestive  of  evolution.

Experiments  are  performed  in  the  physiological  laboratory  to  de- 
termine some  of  the  relations  of  plants  to  water,  gravitation,  tempera- 
ture and  light.  Several  types  of  seeds  are  studied  as  to  their  structure, 
germination  and  development.  The  principles  of  classification  are 
learned  by  the  analysis  and  identification  of  representatives  of  at  least 
twenty-five  orders  of  spermatophytes. 

The  laboratory  and  class  room  work  is  supplemented  by  frequent 
field  trips. 

Each  student  is  supplied  with  a  compound  microscope,  dissecting 
instruments,  note  and  drawing  materials  and  portfolio.

tive study  of  representatives  of  several  phyla  animals.  The  amoeba, 
euglena,  paramoecium,  vorticella,  sponge,  hydra,  starfish,  earthworm, 
crayfish,  grasshopper,  mussel,  amphioxies  and  frog  are  studied.  A  care- 
ful study  is  made  of  the  embryologv  of  the  frog.  The  process  of  de- 
velopment is  closely  watched  from  the  segmenting  of  the  egg  until 
metamorphosis  takes  place.  Each  student  is  taught  the  principles  of 
technic  by  preparing  and  sectioning  embryos  at  various  stages  of  devel- 
opment. From  these  and  other  microscopic  preparations  the  develop- 
ment of  the  internal  organs  and  origin  of  tissues  is  studied.  This  is  fol- 
lowed by  a  histological  study  of  the  tissues  of  the  adult  frog. 

Each  student  is  required  to  keep  a  record  of  all  work  done  in  the 
laboratory  in  carefully  prepared  notes  and  drawings.

THE  ACADEMY  41 

Lebanon  Valley  Academy 

The  Academy  was  established  in  1866.  For  forty-two  years  it  has 
cherished  the  ideals  of  full  and  accurate  scholarship,  and  the  develop- 
ment of  character  that  fits  one  for  the  largest  service  to  society.  From 
its  inception,  college  preparation  has  been  its  main  purpose.  But  its 
curriculum  has  been  well  adapted  to  the  needs  of  those  who  have  en- 
tered immediately  on  practical  life  or  professional  study. 

The  Academy  is  an  integral  part  of  the  College  and  profits  by  the 
proximity  of  students  engaged  in  higher  studies  and  by  the  ready  ac- 
cess to  the  library,  athletic  field,  litterary  societies,  dormitory  and  lab- 
oratory privileges  and  by  the  opportunity  to  combine  courses  of  study 
in  the  Academy  with  others  in  the  College  and  Conservatory. 

Admission 

The  applicant  should  be  at  least  twelve  years  of  age.  It  is  desirable 
that  he  shall  have  completed  the  ordinary  common  school  branches. 
Classes  however  are  sometimes  formed  in  language,  arithmetic,  history, 
and  geography  when  deemed  necessary.  In  general  it  is  to  the  stu- 
dent's advantage  to  enter  in  September,  or  less  preferably  at  the  second 
half  year.  However  the  applicant  usually  finds  enough  work  if  he 
should  enter  at  any  time.      C^ee  college  calendar,  page  2.) 

Each  student  for  admission  shall  bring,  with  him  a  certified  state- 
ment of  work  done  in  the  school  last  attended.  Credit  will  be  given  for 
work  thus  certified.  Should  an  applicant  fail  to  present  this  certificate, 
he  shall  take  an  informal  examination  in  the  common  school  branches. 
He  will  then  be  assigned  work  at  the  discretion  of  the  Principal.  No 
student  will  be  admitted  until  his  registration  is  completed. 

Examinations 

Examinations  are  held  at  the  close  of  each  half  year.  At  this  time 
reports  are  sent  to  parents  or  guardians.  More  frequent  reports  are 
sent  when  requested  by  parents.  In  the  Academy  records,  A,  signifies 
excellent;  B,  very  good;  C,  fair;  D,  low  but  passing;  E,  conditioned; 
F,  repeat  in  class.  An  "E"  record  may  be  removed  by  a  test  an  any 
part  of  the  course  in  which  the  record  is  poor. 

For  this  test  a  fee  of  one  dollar  is  charged.  An  "F"  may  not  be 
removed  by  a  special  examination.

or  by  doing  specially  assigned  work  satisf}^  the  professor  in  charge  that 
he  has  a  creditable  knowledge  of  the  work  passed  over.  If  the  two 
absences  in  question  are  unexcused  the  student  shall  take  the  test  and 
pay  a  fee  of  one  dollar.  For  detailed  information,  see  the  absence  rules 
of  the  College.

a  quarter-unit  of  credit.     This  class  meets  once  a  week. 

Election  of  Studies 

While  there  are  two  definitely  prescribed  courses  in  the  Academy, 
there  is  considerable  room  for  election  of  courses  that  have  special  val- 
ue to  students  intending  to  specialize. 

The  Principal  advises  students  what  subjects  are  fundamental  to 
professional  and  engineering  courses. 


THK  ACADEMY  47 


Graduation 

The  required  credit  for  graduation,  as  outlined  in  the  Classical  and 
Scientific  Courses,  is  sixteen  units,  provided  that  the  student  shall  have 
completed  at  least  the  three  units  in  Mathematics,  the  three  units  in 
English,  three  units  of  l^atin,  two  units  of  German,  one  laboratory 
science,  and  one  unit  of  history. 

In  general  the  pursuance  of  a  four  or  five-hour  subject  per  week 
per  year  constitutes  a  unit.  Corresponding  credits  are  given  for  reci- 
tations reciting  fewer  times  per  week.  However,  all  credits  are  based 
upon  the  reports  of  the  committee  of  the  Association  of  Teachers  of 
Secondary  Schools.  In  short,  the  completion  of  seventy-two  hours  of 
work  as  above  outlined  entitles  the  student  to  a  diploma  of  graduation. 
If  said  student  desires  to  enter  Lebanon  Valley  College  he  shall  arrange 
his' work  so  as  to  meet  the  entrance  requirements  for  the  several 
courses. 

Sub-Preparatory  Course 

Sometimes  students  of  mature  age  come  to  us  not  fully  prepared  to 
enter  the  Academy.  They  have  for  various  reasons  attended  school  but 
a  short  time  and  find  it  embarassing  to  enter  the  public  schools  M^ith 
scholars  so  much  younger  than  themselves.  For  these  we  make  pro- 
vision. However,  at  least  sixteen  hours  of  regular  Academy  work  is 
required. 

Facts  to  be  Considered 

A  one  hundred  dollar  scholarship  is  awarded  each  year  to  the  Acad- 
emy graduate  who  has,  according  to  the  vote  of  the  Faculty,  made  the 
best  class  record  and  deported  himself  in  accordance  with  regulations. 

Academy  students  are  admitted  to  all  social  privileges  of  the  Col- 
lege. Excellent  opportunities  are  offered  for  self  improvement  in  the 
Literary  societies  and  Christian  associations.

Object 

The  department  has  for  its  object,  the  foundation  and  diffusion  of 
a  high  and  thorough  musical  education.  The  methods  used  are  those 
followed  by  the  leading  Kuropeau  conservatories.  The  courses  are 
broad,  systematic,  progressive,  and  as  rapid  as  possible,  and  the  con- 
servatnry  offers  the  means  for  a  complete  education  in  musical  art  at  a 
moderate  cost. 

HARRY  DYER  JACKSON 


TEACHER  OF  PIANOFORTE,  HARMONY  AND  THEORY 
The  musical  talent  of  Prof.  Jackson  manifested  itself  in  childhood 
and  he  began  the  study  of  music  at  the  age  of  eight.  He  was  a  student 
in  the  Conservatory  of  Music,  Jacksonville,  111.,  1S83-84;  New  England 
Conservatory  of  Music,  18S9,  under  the  instruction  of  Otto  Bendix,  piano 
and  H.  M.  Dunham,  organ.  He  giaduated  from  Boston  (Mass.)  Con- 
servatory of  Mcsic  under  Herman  P.  Chelius,  1892.  He  then  became 
director  of  Genesee  (111.)  Conservatory  of  music  where  he  remained  five 

years.  He  graduated  from  the  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music 
under  Charles  Porter,  piano,  H.  M.  Dunham,  organ,  and  post  graduate 
the  following  year.  After  two  years  as  director  of  the  Conservatory  of 
Music  of  the  Alabama  Conference  Female  College,  he  took  post  gradu- 
ate work  in  Paris,  Berlin,  and  Boston,  Mass.  He  became  director  of 
the  Ouincy  Conservatory  of  music  in  1902,  where  his  success  was  phe- 
nomenal. His  election  as  director  of  Engle  Conservatory  occurred 
June  2,  1908. 


Pianoforte 

The  course  is  divided  into  sixteen  grades,  equalling  four  grades  per 
annum  for  four  years  work.  A  comprehensive  study  of  the  standard 
literature  of  instructive  piano  work  is  absolutely  necessary  to  the  piano 
student  and  these  are  studied  through  the  various  grades.  The  new 
school  of  studies  edited  by  Carl  Thumer  and  published  in  sixteen  grades, 
along  with  Kceler's  and  Plaidy's  Technical  Exercises  are  the  basis  tor 
the  technical  and  etude  work  through  all  the  grades. 


50  LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE 

Voice 

It  is  the  aim  of  this  department  to  build  up  the  voice,  beginning 
with  the  simplest  forms  of  pure  tone  production  and  proceeding  sys- 
tematically to  advanced  vocalization.  Perfect  breath  control,  relaxa- 
tion and  correct  tone  placing  are  the  cardinal  points  in  voice  culture, 
and  these  are  careful  and  rigidly  insisted  upon.  Phrasing,  enunciation, 
and  resonance  are  also  given  important  consideration  in  the  course. 
Special  attention  is  paid  to  the  needs  of  individual  voices,  and  the 
studies  are  varied  accordingly. 

Organ 

The  student  must  be  advanced  to  at  least  the  sixth  grade  in  the 
pianoforte  course  before  taking  up  the  study  of  the  organ. 

The  course  prepared  is  based  on  the  best  methods  of  England, 
France,  and  Germany,  and  with  a  view  to  educating  the  student  in  the 
most  thorough  manner.  Special  attention  is  given  to  the  proper  modes 
of  service,  playing,  organ  accompaniments,  etc.,  as  well  as  concert  or 
recital  playing. 

Harmony  Course 

Is  based  on  Brockhoven's  Harmony  and  occupies  fourterms'  work. 
It  is  taught  in  classes,  but  backward  students  can  arrange  for  pirvate 
lessons. 


Theory  Course 

Is  based  on  Elson's  Theory  and  occupies  three  terms,  class  work. 

History  Course 

Is  based  on  Reimann's  History  of  Music   and    Filmore's  Lessons  in
