General Information

THE Mount Gretna Summer School Is an extension of the
work of Lebanon Valley College, authorized and ap-
proved by the trustees of the college and directed by the
faculty. The sessions are held at Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania,
in the buildings of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Association.
The environment, the social life of the resort, the opportunities
for healthful recreation, as well as for quiet and effective study
make this an ideal location for the Summer School. The
courses are planned primarily for the following groups of men
and women:

I. Those who wish to complete their college entrance re-
quirements.

II. Those who desire to shorten the period of college resi-
dence or to make up deficiencies.

III. Teachers of Elementary schools, high schools, and nor-
mal schools who seek advanced instruction with or without the
idea of acquiring a degree.

l\\ Collegiate graduates who desire to acquire credits
towards their master's degree.

V. Other persons who desire collegiate instruction.

ADMISSION AND ATTENDANCE

There are no formal examinations for admission to the summer
school. Students, both men and women, will be admitted to such
courses as the respective instructors find them qualified to pursue
with advantage.

In order that the work may proceed with dispatch upon the
opening of the term, it is urged that arrangements for registra-
tion be made by mail. Applications for admission and registra-
tion will be received by the Registrar up to and including Satur-
day, June 18; address, Annville, Pa.

On Monday, June 20, and Tuesday, June 21, registration will
be continued in the C. L. S. C. Building, Chautauqua Grounds,
Mount Gretna. The registration hours will be from 1 P. M. to

6 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

4. P. M. Since the number of students will necessarily be
limited by the accommodations available, an early communi-
cation will insure the applicant reservation and a supply of
necessary equipment. Classes will be open to all on June 20 and
21, but after June 21 they will be restricted to duly registered
students.

Regular exercises will begin promptly on June 20. Notice of
any proposed addition or cancellation of courses must be re-
ported at once in person at the Office of the Registrar. Students
will be allowed, after securing the consent of the Director, to
make changes in their courses up to and including Tuesday,
June 21, but after June 21 they will be permitted to make no
changes whatever. Full credit will be given only for those courses
for w^hich students have registered and paid not later than June
21. Students registering June 22 to 30, inclusive, may receive
half credit for the work done in any course; but students enter-
ing after June 30 will receive no academic credit. A student at-
tending any course is required to do the full work assigned to
the class; auditors are not admitted. Absence from class exer-
cises may be excused only in case of illness.

PROGRAM

Exercises will be held every day in every subject, but no stated
exercises w411 be held on Saturdays, with the exception of the
first week, Saturday, June 25. Each course will consist of thirty
lectures or other exercises, or their equivalent in laboratory or
field work.

Students are allowed to take one or more courses as they de-
sire, although they are advised not to exceed six credits. All
courses are assigned a certain number of tuition points and most
courses have a credit value. A point is the credit gained for a
duly matriculated student upon the completion of an hour
weekly for one academic half year, or the equivalent thereof, un-
less otherwise specified, and is designated a semester hour credit.
One hour of lecture or recitation, or two hours of laboratory
work daily during the summer session will cover the require-
ments for two semester hours towards the bachelor's degree, and
in some cases towards the master's degree.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

The sessions are held at Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania, in the
buildings of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Association, situated
on the grounds of the Association. These buildings, especially
designed for educational work, contain commodious and well
equipped class rooms and are located in the heart of the resort.
It is through the kind and generous cooperation of the Pennsyl-
vania Chautauqua Association that the excellent facilities for edu-
cational work of that Association are placed at the disposal of the
summer school. Adjoining the grounds of the Pennsylvania

CA^^IPUS VIEW

Chautauqua Association are grounds of the Campmeeting Asso-
ciation of the United Brethren in Christ. This resort of nearly
five hundred cottages, scattered among the trees and shrubbery,
accommodate a summer population of several thousand people.
To the west of the grounds of the Chautauqua Association is the
beautiful Lake Conewago which offers splendid facilities for
bathing and boating. This lake is fed by pure mountain streams
flowing from innumerable springs of the finest water to be found.
The grounds also adjoin those of the military reservation of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, w^here encampments, attended
by thousands of soldiers are held annually.

Mount Gretna is situated on the Lebanon Branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, eleven miles from Conewago where it
forms a junction with the main line. At Lebanon this railroad

8

LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

joins the Philadelphia and Reading, so that Mount Gretna is
within commuting distance of Lebanon, Lancaster and Harris-
burg. It is, moreover, easily accessible from these points by
automobile, being located midway between the Lincoln Highway
and the William Penn Highway.

BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES

Mount Gretna is a paradise for the Naturalist or Biologist.
The opportunities for the study of inland forms of life are un-
limited. An abundant variety of plant and animal associations
and varied ecological conditions are accessible. The topography
consists of mountains with a wide range of forest trees and shrubs,
deep ravines, with cold mountain streams, carrying the pure
spring water through densely vegetated swamps out into richly
cultivated meadowlands. Old fields, once under cultivation and
now reserved for military purposes, supply unusual types of
uncultivated forms of life. The lake and ponds are rich in aquatic
forms, some of which are very rare. The flora is rich in fungae,
mosses, ferns and flowering plants. Over thirty species of ferns
are found in the vicinity. Over one hundred species of flowering
plants have been identified by classes in a single day's tramp.
An herbarium of several hundred species may be collected in a
season.

Birds and insects are abundant both in species and numbers

TENNIS COURTS

MT. GRETNA SUMMER SCHOOL 9

and in the summer season offer excellent opportunities for the
study of breeding habits and life histories.

All necessary equipment from the biological laboratories of
the college will be transferred to a laboratory which has been
provided in the Hall of Philosophy at Mount Gretna.

ENTERTAINMENT AND LECTURE COURSES

During the Summer Session a series of lectures and entertain-
ments, under the direction and supervision of the Summer
School faculty and the Women's Auxiliary Society of the Penn-
sylvania Chautauqua Association, will be offered to the public.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE

The United Brethren Bible Conference, directed annually by
many of the most noted Bible teachers of the day, follows im-
mediately after the close of the Summer School. This Confer-
ence is held on the grounds of the Campmeeting Association.
