8  LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE 

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.

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.

nual expense  below  two  hundred  and  seventy  dollars,  the  lowest  esti- 
mate, in  the  following  table. 

A  more  liberal  expenditure  would  approximate  three  hundred  and 
ninety- six  dollars  for  a  college  year  of  thirty-eight  weeks. 

Thus  the  expenditure  of  a  student  while  passing  through  Lebanon 
Valley  College,  ranges  from  thirty  to  forty-four  dollars  per  month,  not 
including  clothing,  car-fare  and  luxuries.  In  going  over  the  list  of

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. 

Requirements  for  Admission 

The  following  are  the  reguirements  for  admission  to  a  course  lead-

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. 

SPECIAL  COURSES  IN  PHILOSOPHY 

PRESIDENT   KEISTER 

B.  Metaphysics — One  hour  and  a  half  throughout  the  year. 

Our  fundamental  conceptions  are  considered  beginning  with  the 
notion  of  being.  By  a  process  of  criticism  contradictions  are  eliminated 
and  a  clear  and  consistent  view  of  the  world  is  set  forth.  The  conclu- 
sions are  valid  for  reason  and  show  the  value  of  personality  human  and 
divine. 

The  text-book  used  is  Bowne's  Metaphysics. 

Given  in  1910-11. 

C.  The  Gospel  of  John — One  hour  and  a  half  throughout  the  year. 
This  course  is  given  by  lecture   in   connection   with  the   course  in 

Metaphysics.     It  is  a  study  of  the  doctrine   of   the   Gospel    of  John  in 
order  to  obtain  a  clearer  view  of  the  Person  of  Christ  who  is  the    center 
of  a  religious  system  that  is  consistent  in   itself,    vital   in   its   influence 
and  final  for  faith  and  reason. 
Given  in  1910-11. 

D.  Theory  of  Thought  and  Knowledge — By  Prof.  Borden  P.  Bowne, 
a  study  of  thought  as  process,  a  subjective  activity  having  its  forms  and 
laws  and  then  also  as  product  having  objective  validity  and  leading  to 
knowledge. 

Given  in  1911-12. 

E.  The  Philosophy  of  Christianity — By  Dr.  James  E.  Latimer, 
which  deals  with  fundamental  problems  of  the  Christian  system  of  doc- 
trine, being  constructive  in  aim  and  orthodox  in  spirit.  Each  one  hour 
and  a  half  throughout  the  year. 

List  of  books  for  reference  reading:  A  History  of  Philosophy, 
Ueberweg;  The  World  a  Spiritual  System,  Snowden;  The  Christian 
Faith,  Curtis;  The  Person  of  Christ,  Schaff;  Addresses  on  the  Gospel  of 


36  LEBANON  VALLEY  COLLEGE 

John,  St.  John  Conference.  The  Teaching  of  the  Gospel  of  John, 
Smith;  The  Gospel  for  an  Age  of  Donbt,  Van  Dyke;  The  Philosophy  of 
the  Christian  Religion,  Fairbairn;  The  Universal  Elements  of  the  Chris- 
tian Religion,  Hall;  The  Gospel  of  the  Divine  Sacrifice,  Hall;  Person- 
ality, Human  and  Divine,  Illingworth;  Personalism,  Bowne.

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- 


DEPARTMENT  OF  INSTRUCTION  45 

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

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.

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.

of  History.  If  the  candidate  desires  to  enter  Lebanon  Valley  College

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.

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 
course  or  its  equivalent.
