HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
Lebanon Valley COLLEGE 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, 1866, with forty-nine students. By the close of the col-
legiate year one hundred and nftj'-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 the 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 commencement occured June 16, 1S70. About two
years later opposition to the school manifested itself and President Vick-
roy stated in his report to the annual Conference that the attendance of
students was reduced from one hundred to seventy-five, the cause of
this diminution being 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
organized by the ladies, and the College made steady and substantial
progress, but failing health compelled him to resign in June, 1876.
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE 9
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-
cessantl}' 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 1889.
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 hindred 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, 1830, and called Dr. E. Benjamin Bierman to the
presidency. He was inaugurated on the evening of the sixth of Novem-
ber following. Buildings were renovated, a large number of students
enrolled and the Mary A. Dodge Fund often 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
errors and misconceived notions of higher education and to build up an
institution of learning creditable to the United Brethren Church, the
friends of the College entered upon the second quarter of a century
with new hope and aspiration.
io LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
President Bierman served successfully until the spring of 1891, when
he was succeeded by Rev. Hervin U. Roop, Ph. D., who held the office
till Jan. 1, 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 the 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, and 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 by 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 out 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.
He solicited $7,700 for the equipment of the Science Department,
secured the Mills Scholarship $1000 and the Immel Scholarships $2000.
The debt effort authorized by the Board, June 3, 1908, was carried for-
ward successfully, $50,000 having been pledged, before Jan. 1, 1909, ac-
cording to the condition of the pledge which also required the continu-
ation of the canvass to secure another $50,000 in order to cover the
entire debt. At the death of the Rev. Daniel Eberly, D. D., July 9,
1910 whose will bears date of September 17, 1909, the College came into
possession of property valued at about $45,000, the major part being
given for the endowment of the Latin Chair. According to the Treas-
urers books the amount of outstanding bonds April 1, 1912 was $43,000,
GENERAL INFORMATION n
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 larger 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 equipped 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.
12 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
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 all 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.
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.
Each school morning, a regular service is held in the college chapel,
GKNERAIv INFORMATION 13
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 Associa-
tions 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 helpful,
and patrons may feel satisfied that high moral influences are being ex-
erted constantly over their children.
College Organizations
Christian ^e 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 Col-
lege.
I iterarv Excellent opportunities for literary improvement and
parliamentary training are afforded by the societies of
Societies
the College. There are three of these societies— one sus-
tained by the 3'oung ladies, the Clionian, and two by 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.
p. ... The Biological Field Club offers to any student of the
College an opportunity to collect, study, and discuss ob-
jects of interest in the field of living nature. Frequent
excursions are made to places of special interest to members of the club.
Athletic ^e Athletic Association is composed of all students
. . and others connected with the College, who pay the
required athletic fee. It elects, besides its own officers,
the managers of the various athletic teams.
14 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
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 Mathmatical The 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 interest
in and love for the "exact science." Its meetings are held on the last
Wednesday evening of each month. Papers on mathematical history
and biography are read and discussed. Current events in the mathe-
matical world and papers on various mathematical subjects have made
the meetings very interesting and helpful.
Modern I an- *n or(^er *0 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
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.
GENERAL INFORMATION 15
Administration
The following are the advisers for the students in each of
Advisers
of the five groups in which courses of instruction are of-
fered: For the classical group, Professor Shroyer; for the mathematic-
cal-physical, Professor Lehman; for the chemical-biological, Professor
Derickson; for the historical-political. Professor Peters; for the modern
language, Professor Wisewell; 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 discip-
line. He is to grant leave of "absence, permission to go out of town, and
excuses. 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 Facult}' and the students of his
group, and in a general way stands to his students in the relation of a
friendly counsellor.
It is earnestly desired that students may be influenced
P to good conduct and diligence by higher motives than
fear of punishment. The Wfise 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 adminisl ration 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.
The maximum number of hours, conditioned, per-
mitted for senior standing is four; for junior standing,
six; for sophomore, eight and for freshmen, to be decided for individ-
ual students by the committee on classisification.
The permitted number of extra hours of work above that prescribed
by the curriculum is limited by the student's record for previous years
as follows:
(a) Majority of A's, nothing less than B — no limit.
(b) Majority of B's, nothing less than C— fourhours.
; (c) Lower record than (b) — no extra hours.
16 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
The scholarship of students is determined by result
** of examinations and daily recitations combined. The
grades are carefully recorded.
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 record 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 by 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.
p. The degree of bachelor of arts is conferred, by a vote
of the Board of Trustees on recommendation of the
an P Faculty, upon students who have satisfactorily com-
pleted any of the groups.
„ . . Since all its members are fully occupied with under-
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 a special action would be required in
each case, no detailed announcement can be made here. All inquiries
about graduate work should be addressed tc 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
GENERAL INFORMATION 17
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
is available.
The H. S. Immel Scholarships being a gift of $2000, will be avail-
able ''for young men in the college who are preparing for the ministry
in the church of the United Brethren in Christ."
The proceeds of the Eberly farm became available for "indigent
students" in 1911-12.
The Charles B. Rettew Scholarship in Bonebrake Seminary is limit-
ed to students from East Pennsylvania Conference and Lebanon Valley
College.
The Faculty and Executive Committee shall make all scholarship
awards.

20 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
These rates are fixed by special act of the Board of Trustees. Fail-
ure to pay a bill before another falls due will exclude a student from
classes and the privileges of the College.
The regular College expenses are divided into four installments,
and students are required to pay each installment in advance. The first
installment is due at the opening of the School Year; the second, No-
vember ist; the third, January 4th and the fourth, March 27th.
Students who are candidates for degrees must make satisfactory
settlement for all dues and bills before degrees are voted.
No reduction will be made for tuition and room-rent, for a semes-
ter, except for protracted sickness. In case of long continued illness,
the loss is shared equally by the College and the student.
No reduction will be made for table board, for an absence of less
than one week, and then only in case of sickness, or important duties
that compel the student to be absent from his College work. Reduc-
tions cannot be allowed for banquet trips, or Club trips, or Athletic
trips.
Students are required to furnish their own towels, napkins, soap,
and all bed furnishings, except mattresses.
Any student who receives beneficiary aid from the college, may be
called upon to render services to the College for all or part of the aid so
received.
Opportunity for self-help is extended to a limited number of stu-
dents. One hundred and twenty Dollars ($120) is allowed to those who
are given waiterships. Sixty-six dollars and fifty cents ($66.50) to the
librarians. Fifty-seven dollars ($57.00) to the janitor of the Library.
Forty-seven dollars and fifty cents ($47.50) to the janitors in the Men's
Dormitory and in the Administration Building. Thirty-eight dollars
($38.00) to the janitors in the Music Hall. In each case the term of ser-
vice is thirty-eight weeks, and a close application is required to the
work assigned. A neglect of duty is sufficient cause for a removal of
the student from the position.

DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTION 33
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION
Philosophy
PROFESSOR PETERS
As there is no such thing as final authority in Philosophy every
student in this department is urged to react upon both the text books
to which he is referred and to the opinions submitted by the instructor.
It is the primary purpose of the department to stimulate vigorous, in-
dependent thinking upon questions pertaining to Philosophy.
1. Psychology — Three hours. First Semester.
k Special emphasis will be placed upon (1) the application of psycho-
logical laws to practical life, and (2) the philosophical bearing of cer-
tain psychological principles. Thus, without departing from the mode
of treatment appropriate to a natural science, this course will be made
to serve as a general introduction to philosophy. Text book James's
Psychology (Briefer course.)
2. Logic — Three hours. Second Semester.
The intimate relation between Logic and Psychology will be em-
phasized throughout this course. From this point of view the tradi-
tional subject matter of elementary logic will be carefully discussed and
the detection and classification of fallacies drilled upon. The bearings
of Logic upon the problems of Philosophy will then be taken up. Text-
book Creighton's "An Introductory Logic."
3. ' History of Ancient Philosophy — Three hours. First Semester.
In this course, and in its sequel, Philosophy 4, the aim will be (1) to
trace the development of philosophy, pointing out what of permanent
value each system, as it arose, contributed toward a final solution of the
problem of the nature of being, and (2) to show the interaction between
philosophic thought and the practical life of the period during which it
flourished. Text-book Cushman's "A Beginner's History of Philoso-
phy." Vol. I.
4. History of Modern Philosophy — Three Hours. Second Semes-
ter.
The work of this course will be critical as well as expositor}', and
an effort will be made at reconstruction on the basis of the great sys-
tems of philosophy worked out from Decartes to Spencer. Text-book
Cushman's "Beginner's History of Philosophy." Vol. II and Royce's
"The Spirit of Modern Philosophy."
3. Types of Modern Philosophy — Three Hours. First Semester.
A critical discussion of Skepticism, Realism, Mysticism, Pragma-
34 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
tism Modern Science, the Philosophy of Evolution, Psycho-physical
Parallelism, the New Realism, and Kantian, Fichtean, and Hegelian
Idealism. This course is intended as an approach to Philosophy 6.
6. Metaphysics. Three hours. Second Semester.
This course will deal constructively with the fundamental problems
of reality. Text-book Royce's "The World and the Individual," refer-
ences to Taylor, Bradley and Ward.
7. Psychology of Religion — Two hours. First Semester.
The religious nature of man will be studied psychologically as
manifested in childhood, adolescence, and maturity, including the phe-
nomena of conversion and Christian growth.
8. The Philosophy of Right— Two hours. Second Semester.
This course will consist of lectures, library references, and dis-
cussions. The aim will be to sketch a Philosophy of Life in as untech-
nical language as possible and to emphasize its bearing on the concrete
problems of daily life. The more theoretical aspects of Ethics will be,
for the most part, avoided. The discussion will center about two topics
(1) The inherence of change, and the consequent necessity for continual
re-adjustment, in a developing universe; and (2) the Spirit of Loyalty
as a criterion of conduct amid these shifting relationships. The course
will be open to all students in the college and to those students in the
adjunct departments who get permission from the instructor.
9. Ethics — (Theoretical) — Two hours. First Semester.
An investigation of the nature and the bases of morality.
10. Ethics — (applied)— Two hours. Second Semester.
This course is a continuation of Philosophy 9. From the stand-
point of the theory worked out in the preceding part of the course there
will be taken up such subjects as, the ethical significance of contem-
porary social and moral institutions and present day social tendencies,
a critical investigation of recent forms of individualism, a discussion of
the problems which grow out of progress, some studies in casuistry,
etc. Text-books Mackenzie's and Muirhead's, Library References and
Supplementary lectures.
11. Seminar in Philosophy — Fortnightly 7:30-9:30 p. m. Throuoh-
out the year.
This course is for graduate students and advanced under-graduates.
The subjects investigated will vary from year to year, and will be de-
termined largely by the interests of those who register for the course.
Some member of the seminar will have charge at each meeting, and
will read and defend a paper in which some topic, appropriate to the
general subject of the year, is intensively treated. At least three papers
DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTION 35
and a thesis will be required of each member. These papers will or-
dinarily contain from five to eight thousand words and the theses will
be of a somewhat greater degree of elaboration.
Persons who wish to take this course, but who can not be present at
the meetings, may arrange to send in their papers. Of such members,
however, somewhat more work will be required than of those who regu-
larly attend the meetings.
Note — Courses 1, 2 and n will be offered every year. The other
courses will alternate as follows: 3 with 5, 4 with 6, 7 with 9, and 8 with
10. The latter of each group will be offered in 1913-14 and the former
in 1912-13.

Biology
PROFESSOR DERICKSON
The courses of instruction cover four years. 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 power 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 reecntly 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 questious 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 1 — b; if two years, 1 — a and 1 — b or 1 — band 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. Three 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.
Required of freshmen in chemical-biological group. Elective for
others.
Text-books: Text-book of Botany, Coulter, Barnes and Cowles;
Principles of Botany, Bergen and Davis; Nature and Development of
Plants, Curtis. Gray's new manual of Botany.
i-b. Animal Biology — Four hours throughout the year.
Three lectures and two laboratory periods of two hours each, per
week.
The principles of biology are learned by making a careful compara-
tive study of representatives of several phyla of animals. The amoeba,
46 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
euglena, Paramecium, vorticella, sponge, hydra, starfish, earthworm,
crayfish, grasshopper, mussel, amphioxus and frog are studied. A care-
ful study is made of the embryology 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.
For sophomores in the chemical-biological group. Elective for
others.
Text-books: Parker's Zoology, Sedgwick and Wilson's General Bi-
ology, Holms, The Frog.
2. Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy — Four hours. Throughout
the year. Six hours laboratory work and two conferences each week.
The course consists of the dissection and thorough study of a suc-
torial fish, a cartilaginous fish, a bony fish, an amphibian, a reptile, a
bird and a mammal. Carefully lebeled drawings are required of each
student as a record of each dissection.
Text-books: Pratt's Vertebrate Zoology, Kingsley's Text-book of
Vertebrate Zoology.
3. ^Vertebrate Histology — Four hours (with Biology 4.) Beginning
of the year to the end of the first week in March. Two conferences and
six hours laboratory work per week.
The normal histology of the human body is made the basis of the
class work. Each student is required to acquire a practical knowledge
of all phases of histological technic.
All the tissues as well as the structure of all of the organs of the
body are studied. Each student prepares about one hundred and fifty
slides.

Elective for juniors and seniors.
4. Embryology of Vertebrates— (a continuation of Biology 3.)
Second week in March to the end of the year. Two lectures and six
hours laboratory work per week. The laboratory work is based on the
development of the chick and comparisons made with that of the frog
and mammal. A study is made of living embryos at various stages of
development. These are later killed, prepared and sectioned by the
student for the study of the development of the internal organs. Fully
labeled drawings are required.

THE ACADEMY 53
Lebanon Valley Academy
The Academy was established in 1866. For forty-six 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 intregal 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, literary 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.
In genera] it is to the student'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. (See 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 on any
part of the course iu 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.
54 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
General Information
For special tests, given on work not completed because of absences
or otherwise, a fee of one dollar is charged. For special examinations
a fee of two dollars is charged. Monthlyreports are sent to parents or
guardians which state the student's record to date and his total number
of absences.

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
60 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
a short time and find it embarrassing to enter the public schools with
scholars so much }7ounger 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 the regula-
tions.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC 63
Location and Equipment
The Engle Music Hall is a handsome three-story stone structure.
It contains a fine auditorium with large pipe organ, director's room,
studios, practice rooms, waiting and writing room for students' use,
large society rooms, lavatories, etc. The whole building is lighted by
electricity, and heated by steam, and designed and furnished with a
view to having it complete in every respect for the study of music in all
its branches. A complete musical education from the very first steps to
the highest artistic excellence may be secured. The director will use
every effort to obtain positions for those students who have finished the
courses, and who may wish to teach or perform in public.
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 European conservatories. The courses are
broad, systematic, progressive, and as rapid as possible, and the conser-
vatory offers the means for a complete education in musical art at a
moderate cost.
Description of Courses
I. PIANOFORTE
The course in Pianoforte is divided into five divisions; Sub-Fresh-
man, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior.
The course marked out, must, however, necessarily be varied ac-
cording to the ability and temperament of the pupil. Many works must
be studied by all, but there is much that may be essential for one stu-
dent and not at all necessary for another. Individual instruction only
is given.
A system of technics is used that is in line with the most approved
methods. Special attention is paid to the development of a true legato
touch and a clear, smooth technique. The use of the pedal so much
neglected is emphasized. At the same time expression and interpre-
tion are not neglected. Technical and theoretical ability are worthless,
except as it enables the performer to bring out the beauties and mean-
ing of the composer.
The Virgil Practice Claver, which is now generally recognized by
64 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
the leading teachers and artists of the day as an important aid in the de-
velopment of technique, has been introduced.
Memorizing music is required of all students. It is a great acqui-
sition to be able to perform a number of selections from memory.
Sight Reading — This, although to a certain extent a natural gift,
can be greatly improved by systematic work. One who can read well
has all music at his command, while a poor reader has but the few
pieces which may have been learned.
Practice — Special effort is made to teach pupils how to practice.
Difficult places are pointed out and the students are taught how to learn
them in the quickest and most thorough manner. Quality is of more
value than quantity in practice.
Ensemble Playing — It is impossible to overestimate the value of
thorough training in duet, trio and quartette playing. Students are
given drill in these as well as in accompaniment playing.
II.— VOCAL MUSIC
The basis of all music studies should be vocal music. Singing de-
velopes the musical ear and leads to a discernment of tone color without
which the fundamental principles of technique and touch on the piano-
forte cannot be obtained.
The method used is largely that of the Italian schools, but no one
method is employed exclusively. The development of a pure tone and
an easy and natural control of the voice in singing is the end which is
sought. Correct breathing, intonation, attack, legato, accent, phrasing
and pronunciation are features of. technical drill. At the same time
naturalness and an artistic style of singing are constantly urged upon
the student.
III.— THE ORGAN
The churches of our country are making an increasing demand for
well trained organists. The organ is no longer looked upon as an in-
strument solely for accompaniments and church use, but has taken its
place among solo instruments and gained a distinct recognition from
the music-loving public.
A large field, therefore, is open to the student of the Organ. The
work as outlined aims to provide a thorough training in all that per-
tains to a mastery of the organ for church or concert use. A two-man-
ual Moller pipe organ is used in the Conservatory.
IV.— THE VIOLIN
Among the stringed instruments, the Violin stands as one of the
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC 65
oldest and has always been admired for its beautiful and thrilling strains.
The musical possibilities within the compass of the violin are mar-
velous and unexcelled by any other instrument. The best artists of the
olden and modern times were skillful on the violin, and it appeals to
those of the finest musical taste today.
Nowhere in English literature do we find a nobler or more glowing
tribute to the violin than is the little poem penned by our own immor-
tal "Autocrat," where he places the violin among the highest order of
musical instruments.
V.— THEORETICAL MUSIC
Theoretical studies are essential to rapid and comprehensive sight
reading and to excellence in the higher grades of music. Good pedal-
ing depends on a knowledge of harmony, and memorizing is greatly
facilitated by it.
An intelligent insight into the foundation, upon which rests the art
of music, gives interest to the pupils in their playing and singing and
makes them musicians, as well as performers.
Recitals
Students' Thursday Evening Recitals — At least twice each term a
recital is given in which students, who have been prepared under the
supervision of the instructors, take part. These recitals furnish incen-
tives to study and experience in public performance.
Students' Recital Class — Students who are not sufficiently advanced
to appear in the Thursday Evening Recitals are given experience in
public performance in the Students' Recital Class. These classes are
not open to the public. Rules governing Concert Deportment are
brought to the attention of the students and each performer shown what
is expected of him or her when before an audience. The result is a
smoother and more satisfactory appearance in the Evening Recitals
when assigned to such work.
Artist Recitals — Not less important than the daily class room work
is the opportunity afforded students of hearing the representative works
of the great masters performed by artists of recognized ability of this
and foreign countries. These recitals have met with much favor and
enthusiasm among the students and citizens.
Senior Recitals — Each candidate for graduation shall give a public
recital during the last year.

72 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
Oratory and Public Speaking
PROFESSOR ADAMS
The work of this department is primarily personal culture, the high-
est development of the personality of the student. "The development
of the art of oratory is the development of the orator himself."
The course in Oratory affords opportunity for those who wish to
develop their powers of expression either as interpreters or creative
thinkers, through the interpretative study of the finest in literature.
As the interpretation and adequate expression of the literature demands
a high degree of mental activity at the moment of speech, and the stu-
dent must think and feel with the author, his mental and spiritual pow-
ers are quickened with every step, and his progress tested by his ability
to move his audience, the class.
The course requires two years of study of prescribed work. Upon
the completion of the studies a certificate is awarded.
Students entering the regular course must have had a high school
