GENERAL STATEMENT

From time to time members of the Faculty of Lebanon Valley-
College have been called upon to conduct "extension courses" in
various places, so as to meet the needs of such persons as found it
impossible to attend the courses given within the college. This
service developed very naturally, and almost unnoticed. Last year
it was believed the time had come when this phase of the activities of
the college should be definitely organized. As an organization, the
Extension School Department offered courses of study in Lebanon,
Annville and Harrisburg which were so well received and attended
that the demand for a continuation of this work prompted an en-
largement of the program so as to include similar work to be offered
at Reading. The college is always willing and ready to extend its
services where they are needed and appreciated. To those who have
so loyally supported and encouraged the success of this movement
the college is greatly indebted. It hopes to meet this obligation
by employing its educational facilities in a manner productive of
the greatest service to those interested in educational advancement.
Accordingly, the college will be glad to receive requests from groups
who desire courses other than these, and to arrange, whenever pos-
sible, to supply such instruction as may be desired.

The courses offered are, for the most part, intended primarily for
those engaged in teaching. However, all other qualified persons will
be admitted to extension courses, and some courses are more or less
definitely planned to meet the needs or interests of persons outside
of the teaching group. All courses will be taught by regular members
of the college Faculty, and will be of regular college grade and re-
ceive credit as such. Inasmuch as Lebanon Valley College is an
accredited institution, on the first list of colleges and universities,
persons who complete these courses may safely assume that their
credits will be honored wherever they may be presented. The credits
earned in these courses will be regularly counted by Lebanon Valley
College towards its degrees.

CALENDAR

Each class will meet for thirty sessions at the specified time each
week from October to May, exclusive of Thanksgiving, Christmas

and Easter recesses. The first meeting of each group will be held
in the week of October 1.

REGISTRATION

Registration may be made at the time and place of the first meet-
ing of the classes. All those who are interested are invited to at-
tend the first meeting of any class, at which time questions may be
asked and the nature of the work more fully explained.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

The requirements for admission are set forth in the annual catalog
of the college. College credit will be given only to those who have
had a four year high school course or the equivalent. A teacher's
certificate will be accepted as evidence of satisfactory preparation
for admission to the courses. A limited number of persons whose
preparation may not meet the requirements as set forth above may
be admitted at the discretion of the instructors.

PLACE AND TIME OF CLASSES

In Harrisburg the classes will meet in the Technical High School.
Lebanon classes will meet in the Junior High School. Classes in
Reading will meet in the Boys' High School Building at Eighth and
Washington streets. Classes meeting in the college at Annville are
specifically so noted.

Evening classes will meet for a double period, beginning at 7:30
and continuing until 9:15. The time of meeting of other classes is
stated in connection with the description of the course.

EXPENSES

A fee of $2.00 will be charged for matriculation and registration
in the case of all who have not been previously matriculated in the
college. The tuition charge for extension courses will be $6.00 for
each credit point, a point being a semester hour. For example, the
charge for matriculation and registration in courses leading to eight
points credit would be $50.00. This is approximately the regular fee
for tuition in the college. Fees for the first term are due and payable
on or before October 13 and for the second term, on or before Feb-
ruary 9. Remittances should be made to the Treasurer, and may be
sent by mail, or, if more convenient, by the person of the instructor.
