COLLEGE PROFILE
COLLEGE HISTORY
Officials of the East Pennsylvania Conference of the Church of the United
Brethren in Christ were acutely embarrassed in the spring of 1866. Five public-
spirited citizens of the town of Annville had come to Conference on February 22
and offered as a gift the Annville Academy building on Main Street, which they
had bought for $4,500, providing that the Conference would establish and
maintain there forever an institution of learning of high grade. The gift was
accepted. The name Lebanon Valley College was chosen. It was decided to lease
the property to someone qualified to operate a school. The opening date was
set — May 7. Planning then came to a stop, for they could find no one to take the
lease.
That was the situation seven weeks before the opening date, according to
George Washington Miles Rigor, whose short account is the earliest extant history
of Lebanon Valley College. There was no college graduate in the whole Confer-
ence, and a poll of Otterbein College graduates failed to turn up a prospect. Rigor,
a United Brethren minister who had attended college for only three years, stepped
into the breach. He enlisted the cooperation of a neighbor, Thomas R. Vickroy, a
Methodist minister and graduate of Dickinson College. They took over the lease as
partners for the next five years, Vickroy to run the school and Rigor to act as agent.
The building was readied and Lebanon Valley College opened on May 7, as
scheduled, with 49 students enrolled. From its first day it was coeducational.
President Vickroy's term was marked by action. Eleven acres were added to
the "lot and a half of ground" conveyed by the original deed. A spacious
four-story building was erected. A charter was granted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. A faculty was hired. A complete college curriculum, based on the
classics but including music and art, was established, and two classes were
graduated before Vickroy gave up his lease in 1871. The college was not leased
again but continued operations through a Board of Trustees.
The five presidents during the next 25 years had great difficulty in keeping
the college financially afloat, due to lack of support ranging from apathy to open
opposition. There was some progress. A library was established in 1874, and a
college newspaper appeared in 1888. However, in the fall of 1896, the school was
debt-ridden, living from hand to mouth, with an enrollment of only 80.
The administration of President Hervin U. Roop, starting in 1897, marked the
first real period of expansion. Under his leadership, five new buildings were
erected, including a library donated by Andrew Carnegie, and the Administration
Building was re-built after a disastrous fire on Christmas Eve, 1904. By 1905,
enrollment had soared to 470, with a faculty of 23.
Loss of public confidence and financial support prompted Roop's resignation
in 1905, and the college faced its darkest days. Bankruptcy was averted by the
keen business sense and personal generosity of President Lawrence Keister, who
served from 1907 to 1912.
President George D. Gossard finally gave the college stability when he
achieved for it accreditation and a million-dollar endowment fund, the income
from which was to form the financial cushion dreamed of by all the presidents
before him. By the end of his 20-year term in 1932, there were 653 students and 32
faculty members. Most important, the Conservatory of Music was accredited by
the Commonwealth for its program in public school music, marking the start of an
outstanding academic department.
Following Dr. Gossard's death in 1932, Dr. Clyde A. Lynch faced a series of
external crises which lasted throughout his 18 years as president. The stock
market crash shrank the handsome endowment raised by his predecessor. The
depression of the 1930's reduced the enrollment, and World War II lowered it still
further; the post-war influx of veterans then stretched it to more than capacity. In
spite of these trials, Dr. Lynch's administration began buying property adjacent to
the campus to allow for further expansion. It also raised over a half-million
dollars, part of which was to be used for a new physical education building. This
building, still unfinished at the time of Lynch's death in 1950, was named in his
honor upon completion.
The twelfth president of the college, Frederic K. Miller, served for almost 17
years. During his term, inflation caused mushrooming costs, but the so-called
"tidal wave of students" made possible selective admissions. The greatest physical
expansion in the history of the college occurred, with seven new buildings erected
and several renovated. Two major fund-raising drives were concluded success-
fully. Enrollment increased 60%, with a corresponding increase in faculty and
administrative staff. The centennial of the founding of the college was observed by
a year-long series of events.
On April 1, 1967, Dr. Miller retired, and Allan W. Mund, president of the
Board of Trustees, became acting president. It was not until February 3, 1968, that
Frederick P. Sample was elected by the board to become thirteenth president of
Lebanon Valley College. When Dr. Sample assumed office on September 1, 1968,
Lebanon Valley College faced its second century as a fully-accredited, church-
related, coeducational college of the liberal arts, occupying a 35-acre campus of 26
buildings, and supporting an enrollment of 900 and a full-time faculty of 58. In the
years since then, the college has continued to grow in acres and buildings, in
students and faculty. This growth is reaching its culmination in the 1970's with
the multi-million dollar ambitions of the Fund for Fulfillment.
Just as the college has changed through the years, so has the Church of the
United Brethren in Christ which gave it birth and offered its support. Organized in
1800 as the first Christian church indigenous to the United States, the denomina-
tion merged with the Evangelical Church to become the Evangelical United
Brethren Church in 1946. In April, 1968, this body joined with the Methodist
Church to form the United Methodist Church.
In looking to its second century, Lebanon Valley College is conscious of the
dream of its forefathers that it be "an institution of learning of high grade." It aims
to be essentially what it is now, a relatively small college of the liberal arts and
sciences that takes its Christian origins seriously.

Annville, Pennsylvania
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Lebanon Valley College affirms its Christian origins by maintaining affiliation
with the United Methodist Church and by recognizing the Christian faith as the
perspective for its policies. Both the Christian spirit, which encourages the
unhampered search for truth, and the academic program, which gives form to the
search for truth, combine to generate free and responsible inquiry by students and
faculty.
In accordance with the purposes of its founders, Lebanon Valley College seeks
to provide an atmosphere in which the student can respond creatively to the
contemporary world. Each person is encouraged (1) to develop a genuine concern
for cooperative living and community service; (2) to attain a heightened sense of
moral and spiritual values through a deepened awareness of how people have
thought of themselves in relation to nature, to society, and to God; (3) to appreciate
the close and unmistakable relationship among rational thought, creative imagi-
nation, and moral commitment; and (4) to deal candidly and intelligently with the
past, the present, and the future and their interrelationship.
The programs of the College are designed to provide a demanding as well as a
rewarding encounter with the means necessary to achieve the discovery of self
and society: consideration of humanity's most significant ideas and accomplish-
ments; development of logical thought and clear communication; practice in
precise analysis and effective performance. The academic, social, religious, and
aesthetic experiences blend to create the atmosphere of the College in a way that
fosters enlivened curiosity, discipline of self, and excitement about ideas that are
the hallmark of the educated individual.
Lebanon Valley College, with approximately one thousand students and a
low student-faculty ratio, in giving life to the concept of liberal arts as expressed
in the preceding paragraphs has chosen to maintain an educational institution
which is academically strong, guided by the Christian faith, and small enough to
give personal attention to all students.
Adopted February 1, 1975
Lebanon Valley College Board of Trustees
SUPPORT AND CONTROL
Lebanon Valley College receives support authorized by the General Confer-
ence of the United Methodist Church, individual congregations of the denomina-
tion in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and the Central Pennsylvania
Conference, endowments, and the Pennsylvania Foundation for Independent
Colleges. Also, since at Lebanon Valley College as at most other institutions of
higher learning the tuition and other annual charges paid by the student do not
cover the total cost of his education, additional income is derived through the
Lebanon Valley College Fund. The Fund is supported by industry, alumni, the
Board of Trustees, parents of students, and other friends of the college.
Total assets of Lebanon Valley College are approximately $20,000,000,
including endowment funds of about $3,300,000. Aside from general endowment
income available for unrestricted purposes, there are a number of special funds
designated for specific uses such as professorships, scholarships, and the library.
Control of the college is vested in a Board of Trustees composed of 49 elected
members, 24 of whom represent church conferences; 5 of whom represent the
alumni of the institution; 5 of whom represent the faculty; and 15 of whom,
including 3 students, are elected at large.
POLICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION
Lebanon Valley College admits students and appoints employees of any race,
color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age, and religion to all rights, privileges,
programs, and activities accorded or made available to students and employees at
the College. The College's administration of its employment policies, educational
policies, and all College-administered programs is conducted without regard to
race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age, and religion.

English, foreign language, mathematics, science, and social studies.
An applicant for admission whose preparatory courses do not coincide with
the distribution of subject units (see below) may be considered if his academic
record is of high quality and if he appears to be qualified to do college work
satisfactorily. All entrance deficiencies must be removed before sophomore
academic status will be granted.

Transfer Credit
A student applying for advanced standing at Lebanon Valley College after
having attended another accredited institution of higher education shall submit
an official transcript of his record and evidence of good standing to the director of
admissions. If requested, he must provide copies of the appropriate catalogs for
the years of attendance at the other institution or institutions.
Credits are accepted for transfer provided that the grades received are C-(1.7)
or better and the work is equivalent or similar to work offered at Lebanon Valley
College. Grades thus transfered count for hours only, not for quality points.
A candidate for admission holding an associate degree from a regionally
accredited two-year college can be admitted with full acceptance of course work at
the two-year institution. Course work in the major field, however, for which the
applicant has received a D will not be accepted on transfer.
Because Lebanon Valley College is a liberal arts institution, consideration of
full acceptance of the associate degree will be granted with the understanding that
the candidate has followed a basic course of study compatible with the academic
programs and curriculum of the College. Generally, it is assumed the candidate
has followed the liberal arts curriculum of the two-year college.
*If an applicant cannot present the two units of foreign language, he will be required to
take a minimum of two years of one language in college. His credits for this work will be
counted toward graduation requirements.
16
Students, with the exception of those in the medical technology and nursing
programs, who transfer from two-year institutions are required to earn at least 60
hours of credit from a four-year institution for graduation. A minimum of 30 hours
must be taken at Lebanon Valley College by all students to meet the residence
requirement.
Transfer students may be required to take placement examinations to demon-
strate adequate preparation for advanced courses at Lebanon Valley College.
Subject to the conditions listed in the second paragraph. Lebanon Valley
College will recognize for transfer credit a maximum of 15 hours of USAFI or
DANTES course work provided such credit is recommended by the American
Council on Education's publication, A Guide io the Evaluation of Educational
Experiences in the Armed Services.
Credit will not be granted for correspondence courses.
COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)
Credit is granted for acceptable achievement on such Subject Examinations of
the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) as are approved by the appropriate
College department and the Curriculum Committee. Students shall have achieved
a scaled score of 50 or better on the objective section and shall have earned a grade
of C or better, as determined by the appropriate department, on the essay section of
the examination.
Examinations may be taken prior to admission or after a student has
matriculated at the College. Credit is given only to students who have matricu-
lated at the College. Applicants for admission interested in receiving credit should
consult with the Office of Admissions; current students should consult with the
Vice President and Dean of the College. Applicants interested in the CLEP
Program should write to the Program Director, College Level Examination
Program, P. O. Box 1821. Princeton, N. j. 08540, for a CLEP Bulletin of Information
for Candidates, which provides information on examinations and the dates and
locations of test administrations.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement and/or credit in certain areas may be granted to entering
students who make scores of 3, 4, 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement
examination. In all instances, final determination is made by the College.
Advanced Placement without credit may be granted on the basis of the
Achievement Tests of the College Board examinations or such other proficiency
tests as may be determined by the assistant dean of the college and by the
chairman of the department in which advanced placement is sought.

make an advance room reservation deposit of $50.00 (Receipt must be presented at
the time of room sign-up which occurs during April.)
Occupants must pay for any breakage or loss of furniture or any other damage
for which they are responsible. Damage not assignable to an individual occupant

chairs, dressers, book case, and study tables. Drapes are provided in Mary Green
and Vickroy Halls. Other desired furnishings must be supplied by the student.
Students rooming in residence halls may not sublet their rooms to commuting
students or to others.
Since Lebanon Valley College is primarily a boarding institution, all students
are required to live in college-owned or controlled residence halls. Exceptions to
the above are: married students, students living with immediate relatives, or those
living in their own homes who commute daily to the campus.
Should vacancies occur in any of the residence halls, the college reserves the
right to require students rooming in the community to move into a residence hall.
The college reserves the right to close all residence halls during vacations and

19
Meals
All resident students are required to take their meals in the college dining
rooms. Commuting students may arrange for meals Monday through Friday, on a
semester basis, if space is available.
Financial Aid
Lebanon Valley College offers financial aid to deserving students who have
been accepted for admission insofar as aid funds permit. With the exception of
Presidential Scholarships, which are awarded on merit, financial assistance is
granted on the basis of need. The College subscribes to the philosophy that it is the
responsibility of the student and his or her parents to bear the burden of the
educational costs to the extent possible, but realizes that it is extremely difficult
for many families to meet these expenses. Lebanon Valley attempts to meet
financial need by allocating available funds (from federal, state, College, and
other sources) in an aid package which usually consists of grant, loan, and
employment.
Lebanon Valley College does not have its own financial aid application: the
Financial Aid Form (FAF) of the College Scholarship Service is used in determin-
ing the applicant's financial need. It is not necessary to await acceptance to the
College before applying for financial aid. Students applying for assistance through
any of the campus-based federal programs (Supplemental Education Opportunity
Grants, National Direct Student Loans, College Work-Study) or directly from
Lebanon Valley College must submit the FAF to the College Scholarship Service,
Box 176, Princeton, N.J. 08540 as soon as possible after January 1. Students
applying for state aid, such as Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency
(PHEAA) Grants or Loans, must file separate applications to the specific state
agency. Students may apply for Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) by
completing the appropriate section of the FAF and (for Pa. residents) the
appropriate section of the PHEAA Grant Application.
Students often receive assistance from sources outside the College. The
amounts and sources of outside aid must be reported, and the College reserves the
right to adjust the total financial aid package accordingly.
Financial Aid is granted for one year and is reviewed annually. Eligibility for
renewal is based upon need as established by the renewal FAF and satisfactory
academic performance.
The following is a brief description of the types of financial aid available at
Lebanon Valley College.
Presidential Scholarships
Awards to entering students by the President of Lebanon Valley College based
on superior high school performance and test results. A cumulative 2.5 grade
point average is required for renewal of the award. This is the only grant aid
offered by LVC which is not based on financial need.
Grants-in-Aid
LVC grant funds awarded to students demonstrating financial need, as
indicated by the FAF. A cumulative 2.0 grade-point average is required for
renewal. Annual renewal of the FAF is required for upperclassmen.
Basic Educational Opportunity Grants
Federal grants to students demonstrating financial need as determined by
specific Basic Grants criteria. Apply by completing appropriate section of FAF
and PHEAA Grant Application (Pa. residents only).
20
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
Grants to exceptionally needy students from federal allocations to College.
FAF required.
State Grants
Awards to student directly from state agencies. Pennsylvania State grants are
based on financial need and range from $100-$!, 500 per year. Apply directly to
state agency.
Student Loans
1.) National Direct Student Loans — Funded by federal allocations to College
with a maximum yearly loan of $1,000. Repayment with 3% interest begins nine
months after completion of studies. FAF required. 2.) Guaranteed Student
Loans — Banks serve as lender of state-financed funds, which are federally insured.
$2,500 maximum with 7% interest during repayment.
Student Employment

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
Lebanon Valley College confers five bachelor degrees. They are: Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Bachelor of Science
in Medical Technology, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who complete the
requirements for graduation in the following areas, and who are recommended by
the faculty and approved by the Board of Trustees: English, foreign languages,
French, German, history, humanities, music, philosophy, political science,
psychology, religion, sacred music, social science, sociology, and Spanish.

The professional degrees of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Bachelor of
Science in Medical Technology and Bachelor of Science in Nursing are conferred
upon students who complete the requirements in the respective professional areas
and who are recommended by the faculty and approved by the Board of Trustees.
Semester Hours
The requirements for degrees are stated in "semester hours of credit" which
are based upon the satisfactory completion of courses of instruction. Generally,
one semester hour of credit is given for each class hour a week throughout the
semester. In courses requiring laboratory work, not less than two hours of
laboratory work a week throughout a semester are required for a semester hour of
credit. A semester is a term of approximately 15 weeks.
Candidates for degrees must obtain a minimum of 120 semester hours credit
in academic work in addition to the required courses in freshman and sophomore
physical education. However, a student who has a physical disability may be
excused (on recommendation from the college physician) from the requirement in
physical education.
Major
As a part of the total requirement of 120 hours, every candidatie for a degree
must present at least 24 semester hours of course work in one department (this is
his major). The initial selection of a major may be indicated or recorded any time
before the end of the student's sophomore year. Such a choice of major must be
made by the time of registration for the junior year.
A student shall be accepted as a major in a department so long as he has not
demonstrated (by achieving less than the minimum grade-point average in the
desired major) that he is incapable of doing satisfactory work in the department. A
student accepted as a major has the right to remain in that department, except by
special action of the dean of the college, as long as he is in college.
Substitution or waiving of specific courses x'equired for the major may be
approved by the departmental chairman or advisers upon student request.
A student desiring to major in two subject areas should consult his current
adviser and the chairman of the department of his proposed second major
concerning requirements and procedure.
22
Examinations
Candidates for degrees are required to take end of course examinations as
scheduled.
Residence Requirement
Degrees will be conferred only upon those candidates earning in residence a
minimum of 30 semester hours out of the last 36 taken before the date of the
conferring of the degree, or before the transfer to a cooperating program.
Residence credit is given for course work completed in regular day classes and in
Weekend College, evening, and summer session courses taken on campus.
Grade-Point Averages
Candidates for degrees must also obtain a cumulative grade-point average of
1.75, computed in accordance with the grading system indicated below.
In addition, candidates must earn a grade-point average of 2.0 in the major
field of study.
Only grades received in courses taken on campus, in courses staffed by Leba-
non Valley College at the University Center at Harrisburg, or in courses in the
LVC-Central College International Studies Program are used to determine grade-
point averages.
System of Grading and Quality Points
The work of a student in each subject is graded A, B, C, D, or F, with the plus
and minus available to faculty members who wish to use them. These grades have
the following meanings:
A — distinguished performance
B — superior work
C — general satisfactory achievement
D — course requirements and standards satisfied at a minimum level
F — course requirements and standards not satisfied at a minimum level
A student may not take any course which has as a prerequisite a course that he
has failed. If a student fails in a course twice, he may not take it a third time.
In addition to the above grades the symbols "I," "W," "WP," and "WF" are
used on grade reports and in college records. "I" indicates that the work is
incomplete (that the student has postponed with the prior consent of the instruc-
tor and for substantial reason, certain required work), but otherwise satisfactory.
This work must be completed with the first six weeks of the beginning of the
semester following, or the "I" will be converted to an F. Appeals for extension
of time beyond six weeks must be presented in writing to the assistant dean of the
college not later than one week after the beginning of the next semester.
W indicates withdrawal from a course through the eighth week of classes in
the semester. In case of a withdrawal from a course thereafter through the last day
of classes in the semester, the symbol "WP" will be entered if the student's work is
satisfactory, and "WF" is the work is unsatisfactory. The grade of "WF" is counted
as an F in calculating grade-point averages.
For courses in which no academic credit is involved, student work is
evaluated as either S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory).
For each semester hour credit in a course in which a student is graded A, he
receives 4 quality points: A- , 3.7; B-i- , 3.3; B, 3; B-, 2.7; etc. F carries no credit
and no quality points.
Pass/Fail Grading
After attaining sophomore standing (28 semester hours credit), a student may
elect to take up to two courses per semester and one one-semester course per
23
summer session on a P/F basis, but only six of these courses can be counted toward
graduation requirements.
Any courses not being counted toward the fulfillment of the general require-
ments or the major requirements may be optional on a pass/fail basis. Any
prerequisite course taken on a P/F basis and successfully completed will satisfy
the prerequisite.
Each department may, with the approval of the dean of the college, designate
certain courses, including those required for the major, in which the grading will
be P/F for all students enrolled. Such courses may not be taken for regular grading
even if a student desires it. Any course so designated shall not count toward the
total number of courses available P/F to the student.
Any course taken on a P/F basis will be graded P/H (pass with distinction), P
(pass), or F (fail). P/H is defined as B+ and up, P is defined as D- through B; and F
is below D— .
Any course completed on a P/F basis shall be counted toward graduation
requirements, but only an F grade shall be included in computing the grade-point
average. All passing grades shall be treated on the record as is transfer credit.
The student will indicate at registration or through the eighth week of classes
in the semester the courses that he has elected to take on a P/F basis. He may, with
the approval of his adviser, change his option for P/F grading to the regular
grading basis or from regular grading to P/F grading during the same period.
Instructors may be informed of the grading option selected by the student
only after semester grades in the course have been recorded. Instructors will
submit for each student an A through F grade which will be converted to P/H, P, or
F for students selecting this grading system.
Transfer Students
Students transferring from two-year institutions (except those in the medical
technology and nursing programs) are required to have at least 60 hours of work at
a four-year institution for graduation. All students must take a minimum of 30
hours at Lebanon Valley College to meet the residence requirement. (See page 23.)
Students transferring from other institutions must secure a grade-point
average of 1.75 or better in work taken at Lebanon Valley College, and must meet
the 2.0 grade-point average in their major field.
Attendance at May Baccalaureate and Commencement Programs
All seniors are required to attend the May baccalaureate and commencement
programs at which their degrees are to be conferred.
Degrees will be conferred in absentia only for the most compelling reasons
and only upon a written request approved by the assistant dean of the college.
Such requests must be submitted at least two weeks prior to. the date of
commencement.
Faculty approval is required for the conferring of the degree and the issuance
of the diploma in any case of willful failure to comply with these regulations.

THE COLLEGE HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program provides an opportunity for superior students to develop
and to challenge their intellectual abilities, to challenge their originiality and
intellectual curiosity, and to nurture academic excellence both in students and
faculty.
The Program has two phases: lower division Freshman-Sophomore Honors:
upper division Honor Studies and Departmental Honors.
Prospective freshmen are selected, after interviews with members of the
Honors Subcommittee of the Academic Life Committee and Honors instructors, on
the basis of class rank, CEEB scores. Presidential Scholarship Examinations, and
other useful information. Others may be chosen by a similar procedure by the
Honors Subcommittee toward the end of the first semester, on the basis on
recommendations invited from all instructors.
To graduate with college honors, a student must earn twelve semester hours
in lower division honors and nine semester hours in upper division honors. In
upper division work, three semester hours must be gained in Honors Studies and
three in Independent Study. A student's grade-point average must be at least 3.0
overall and in Honors work.
FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE HONORS
Freshman-Sophomore Honors may be conducted in either lecture or seminar
format; all students are expected to contribute to seminar discussion. Participation
in Freshman-Sophomore Honors is restricted to Honor students; exceptions are
made only with consent of the instructor and the Honors Subcommittee of the
Academic Life Committee. Enrollment in Freshman-Sophomore Honors sections
should be limited to 15.
Freshman-Sophomore Honors sections are offered in the following courses
which meet the appropriate general and distribution requirements; English
111/112, English 227/228, Religion 111/112, Economics 110/120, Foreign Lan-
guage 315H/316H, History 125/126, Mathematics 170, and Psychology 110.
HONORS STUDIES
Honors Study is a team effort in independent work with the guidance of one
or more instructors. Honors Study generally deals with an interdepartmental
subject, is restricted to Honors Students at the junior-senior level, and consists of a
team of no more than seven students. An Honors student may participate in an
Honors Study after completing nine hours in Freshman-Sophomore honors. In
appropriate instances, the Curriculum Committee will be petitioned to approve
courses to meet the distribution requirements.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Departmental Honors is taken in the major field in junior and senior years.
The program consists of a reading and/or research program producing a thesis or
an essay. The latter is done on a problem or subject of the student's own choosing
under the supervision of a faculty adviser. Opportunity also exists to do creative
work. A maximum of nine hours credit may be earned in departmental honors.
AUXILIARY SCHOOLS
Summer, Evening, Weekend College, Extension
Summer sessions, evening classes on campus. Weekend College, and exten-
sion classes in the University Center at Harrisburg enable teachers, state employ-
ees, and others in active employment to attend college courses, and secure aca-
demic degrees. By a careful selection of courses made in consultation with the ap-
propriate adviser, students can meet many of the requirements for a baccalaureate
27
degree. Some courses may be taken for provisional and permanent teaching cer-
tification; others may be taken with the aim of transferring credit to another insti-
tution. Many courses lead to professional advancement or are of direct benefit to
persons in business or industry, while others assist in broadening the student's
vocational, social, and cultural background.
Separate brochures are published for the summer session, the evening classes,
and Weekend College. For copies or for other information pertaining to the sum-
mer session or evening classes write to the Assistant Dean of the College. Lebanon
Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania 17003. For brochures and other informa-
tion concerning the Weekend College, write to the Director of the Weekend Col-
lege, Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania 17003.
Summer Session
Regular enrolled students may, by taking summer session courses, meet the
requirements for the bachelor's degree in three years.
Campus Evening Classes
Evening classes are offered on the campus, Monday through Thursday, and
carry residence credit.
The evening school includes an ENRICH Program in Business Administra-
tion. The student receives a certificate of achievement upon successful completion
of the 60 semester-hour program.
Weekend College
The Weekend College offers full degree programs in Accounting, Business
Administration, Nursing, and Social Science-Sociology, with all of the necessary
classes meeting on Friday nights and Saturdays. These residence credit classes are

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Lebanon College offers an International Studies Program in cooperation
with Central College, Pella, Iowa. This affiliation, which is shared with twenty
three other colleges and universities across the country, enables Lebanon Valley
students to enroll for foreign study in France, Germany- Austria, Spain, Mexico,
Wales or England while maintaining their regular enrollment status at Lebanon
Valley and their college and other financial aid.
Students may also study abroad under a program administered by an
accredited American college or university, or in a program approved by Lebanon
Valley College. Such students must have maintained a 3.0 average at Lebanon
Valley College, must be proficient in the language spoken in the country in which
they will study, and must be persons in the judgment of the Assistant Dean of the
College and faculty will be worthy representatives of their own country. Their
proposed courses of study must be approved by the appropriate departmental
chairman and the Assistant Dean of the College.
Advisers; Capt. Cooper, Dr. Ford
MARINE BIOLOGY PROGRAM
Lebanon Valley College offers a limited program in marine biology in
cooperation with the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies and the
University of Georgia Marine Institute.
Under this program the student takes the necessary fundamental science
courses on campus and spends six to ten weeks in the summer between his junior
and senior years at the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies, Lewes,
Delaware. Nine credits of marine science work can thus be earned for transfer to
Lebanon Valley College.
In addition, short field trips are made to Lewes as part of the ecology course
(Biology 403). An extended field trip is made in the senior year to Sapelo Island,
site of the University of Georgia Marine Institute. Opportunities are given here for
study of various aspects of the ecology of an undisturbed marsh ecosystem and of
basic oceanographic research methodology.
The college believes that the best preparation for a career in marine biology is
a thorough grounding in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. With the
addition of the specific work in ecology and marine science, on campus and at the
cooperating institutions, a student is well prepared both for an immediate career
as well as for graduate work in the field.

MERRILL-PALMER INSTITUTE SEMESTER
Usually during their junior year, selected students may spend a semester in
Detroit, Michigan, at the renowned Merrill-Palmer Institute, enrolled for courses
and involved in a practicum experience, either working with children or with
community organization. The theme of the study program is "Children and
Families in Urban Communities." In the student residences small groups from
many different colleges and universities and from all sections of the United States
participate cooperatively in the management and social affairs of their houses,
with 12-18 persons in each residence.
Adviser: Dr. Lasky
WASHINGTON SEMESTER PROGRAM
Students at Lebanon Valley College are eligible to participate in the Washing-
ton Semester Program which is offered in cooperation with American University
in Washington, D. C. This includes the study of the American governmental and
political system as a whole (the Washington Semester), the urban polity and
intergovernmental decision-making in urban affairs (the Washington Urban
30
Semester), American foreign policy formulation and implementation (the Foreign
Policy Semester), and international development (the International Development
Semester). Students in the first two programs take a seminar, which includes
meetings with public officials, political figures, private interest group representa-
tives, and other knowledgeable persons; an individual research project deter-
mined in consultation with instructors at Lebanon Valley and American Univer-
sity; and either an elective course at the university or an internship program
arranged with a political or administrative office in Washington. The Foreign
Policy Semester and the International Development semester are modules, ex-
pected to occupy the student's full academic time.
The program is open to juniors and seniors in any major field who have at
least a 2.5 average, have had the basic courses in American national government,
and are recommended by the chairman of the department of history and political
science. Two students from the college will be selected each November by
American University to participate in the following spring semester. Students in
the program have the same status as full-time undergraduates at American
University and will receive full credit for one semester's work toward their degree
at Lebanon Valley College.

ACADEMIC PROCEDURES
Registration and Pre-Registration
Students are required to register for classes on official registration days and
on designated pre-registration days of each semester. Information concerning the
dates for official registration and pre-registration is listed in the college calendar,
page 4.
Late Registration and Pre-Registration
Students registering later than the days and hours specified will be charged a
late registration fee of ten dollars. Students desiring to register later than one week
after the opening of the semester will be admitted only by special permission of
the assistant dean of the college. Students who do not pre-register during the
designated time will be charged a late pre-registration fee of ten dollars.
Change of Registration
Change of registration, including pass/fail elections, when necessary, must be
made over the signature of the adviser. In most instances registration for a course
will not be permitted after the course has been in session for one full week. With
the permission of his adviser, a student may withdraw from a course at any time
through the last day of classes of the semester. (See page 23 for grading policy.) A
fee of $5.00 is charged for every change of course made at the student's request
after registration.
Orientation for New Students
A spring orientation day is held annually for incoming students. At this time
the activities include a general orientation to the college, counseling with
academic advisers, and pre-registration for courses. Special sessions for parents
are a vital part of the program.
An orientation period of several days at the beginning of the college year is
provided to help new students, both freshmen and transfers, to become familiar
with their academic surroundings. This time is devoted to lectures, social
activities, and informal meetings with upperclassmen and members of the faculty.
During the first semester all freshmen and transfer students are required to
participate in an orientation course which includes a series of lectures and
discussions on college procedures, campus activities, and methods of study.
31
Discontinuance of Course
The college reserves the right to withdraw or discontinue any course for
which an insufficient number of students have registered.
Repetition of Courses
No student shall be permitted to repeat for credit, grade, or quality points a
course for which he has already received a passing grade.
If a course on campus or staffed by Lebanon Valley College at the University
Center at Harrisburg is failed but is later repeated and passed at either location, the
failure is ignored in calculation of cumulative grade-point averages in the
semester in which the course is passed or thereafter. The grade of F remains on the
permanent record card, with an asterisk used to indicate that the course was
repeated and passed.
Concurrent Courses
A student enrolled for a degree at Lebanon Valley College may not carry
courses concurrently at any other institution without the prior consent of his
adviser and the assistant dean of the college. Neither may a regular student carry
work concurrently in evening, Weekend College, or extension courses without the
prior permission of his adviser and the assistant dean of the college.
A student registered at Lebanon Valley College may not obtain credit for
courses taken in other colleges, including the University Center at Harrisburg,
during the summer unless such courses have prior approval of his adviser and the
assistant dean of the college.
Auditing Courses
Students are permitted to register to audit courses with the consent of the
instructor and the academic adviser. Audited courses are counted in considering
the course load relative to limit of hours (overload). The regular tuition fee is
charged to part-time students. Neither grade nor credit is given either at the time
the course is audited or thereafter. A change of registration from credit to audit or
or from audit to credit must be accomplished by the end of the fifth week of classes
of the semester.
Faculty Advisers
Each student is assigned a faculty adviser who serves in the capacity of
friendly counselor.
The initial selection of a major may be indicated or recorded any time before
the end of the student's sophomore year. Such a choice of major must be made by
the time of registration for the junior year. A student shall be accepted as a major
in a department so long as he has not demonstrated (by achieving less than the
minimum grade-point average in the desired major] that he is incapable of doing
satisfactory work in the department. The chairman or another adviser of the
department in which the student has elected to major becomes the adviser for that
student. The adviser's approval is necessary before a student may register for or
withdraw from any course, select or change his pass/fail elections, or change
registration from credit to audit or from audit to credit.
Arrangement of Schedules
Each student arranges his course of study and his class schedule in consulta-
tion with, and by approval of, his faculty adviser. Students already in attendance
do this during pre-registration periods. New students accomplish this on the
spring orientation day.
32
Limit of Hours
To be classified as full-time, a student must take at least twelve semester hours
of work. Sixteen semester hours of work is the maximum permitted without
approval of the adviser and special permission of the assistant dean of the college;
physical education carries no credit. Audited courses are counted in determining
the course load.
The privilege of carrying extra hours will be granted only for compelling
reasons and only when a minimum 3.0 grade-point average has been achieved in
the previous semester or the student's cumulative grade-point average is at least
3.0.
Academic Classification
Students are classified academically at the beginning of each year. Mem-
bership in the sophomore, junior, or senior classes is granted to those students
who have earned-a minimum of 28, 56, or 84 semester hours credit respectively.
All entrance deficiencies must be removed before the academic-status of
sophomore is granted.
Comiseling and Placement
Lebanon Valley College recognizes as part of its responsibility to its students
the need for providing sound educational, vocational, and personal counseling.
Measures of interest, ability, aptitude, and personality, in addition to other
counseling techniques, are utilized in an effort to help each student come to a
fuller realization of his capabilities and personality. An important part of the
counseling program consists of a series of lectures and discussions conducted as a
non-credit orientation course for new students.
Placement services are provided by the college for aiding students in
procuring part-time employment while in college and in obtaining positions upon
graduation. A current file is maintained which contains information about
positions in various companies and institutions, civil service opportunities and
examinations, entrance to professional schools, assistantships, and fellowships.
Representatives of business, industry, and educational institutions visit the
campus annually to interview seniors for prospective employment. A file of
credentials and activities of those students availing themselves of the services is
available to prospective employers. Graduates may keep their individual files
active by reporting additional information to the director of industrial placement.
A Teacher Placement Bureau which assists students in finding positions is
maintained.
Records of students' credentials in all areas of student activities are on file.
ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS
The rules of the college are designed to provide for proper regulation of the
academic community. The rules and regulations as stated in this bulletin are
announcements and in no way serve as a contract between the student and the
college. Attendance at the college is a privilege and not a right. The student by his
act of registration concedes to the college the right to require his withdrawal any
time deemed necessary to safeguard the ideals of scholarship and character, and
to secure compliance with regulations. It is expected that the conduct of all
campus citizens will conform to accepted standards. All students are required to
respond to communications sent by any duly constituted authority of the college.
Class Attendance
Each student is held responsible for knowing and meeting all requirements
for each course, including regular class attendance. Because of differences in
various disciplines, specific regulations governing class attendance are set by
33
each department, approved by the dean of the college, and administered by the
instructor. At the opening of each course the instructor will clearly inform the
students of the regulations on class attendance. Violations of class attendance
regulations will make the student liable to being dropped from the course with a
failing grade, upon the recommendation of the instructor and with the approval of
the assistant dean of the college.
In case of absence from class because of illness and for most other reasons, the
student speaks directly with the instructor concerning the absence, whether
anticipated or not, even if an examination has been scheduled. The student
informs the assistant dean of the college only if the absence could not be
anticipated and the period of absence will be a week or more. The assistant dean of
the college informs faculty members of students who will be absent from classes
because of participation in official functions of the college. Students on academic
probation are permitted only excused absences.
Excused absences do not absolve the student from the necessity of fulfiUing
all course requirements.
Academic Dishonesty
Instances of open and conclusive academic dishonesty are dealt with in
accordance wth the following regulations:
For the first offense the faculty member shall have the authority to fail the
student in the course.
For the second offense the student shall be failed in the course and additional
action taken, up to and including expulsion from college, if deemed warranted by
the dean of the college.
For the third offense, if the second act of dishonesty did not warrant
expulsion in the opinion of the dean of the college, the student shall be punished
by failure in the course and expulsion from the college.
Chapel-Convocation Program.
A chapel-convocation program is held regularly each week. The weekly
programs are augmented by additional events at other times during the semester.
From the total of twenty-four programs each full-time student will select not less
than twelve to fulfill his attendance requirement for the semester. For each
unexcused absence, resulting in less than twelve attendances, one hour will be
added to the hours required for graduation.
Hazing
Hazing is strictly prohibited. Any infringement by members of other classes
upon the personal rights of freshmen as individuals is interpreted as hazing.
Cars and Student Parking
All cars owned or operated by Lebanon Valley College students must be
registered with the office of the dean of students. Violations of established parking
regulations will result in fines and may result in suspension or revocation of
parking privileges.
Transcripts
Each student, former student, or graduate is entitled to one transcript of his
college record without charge. For each copy after the first, a fee of two dollars is
charged.
34

Students on probation are expected to regulate their work and their time so as to
make a most determined effort to bring their performance up to the required
standard.
The extent of a probationer student's participation in extra-curricular ac-
tivities and in non-credit courses shall be determined by a consensus of the
student, the student's parents, and the Dean of the College. (The Dean shall
consult with appropriate college personnel— e.g. adviser, instructors. Dean of
Students, coaches.) All three of the primary parties in this decision shall express
their views in writing. No student on academic probation can initiate or continue
participation in extra-curricular activities and/or non-credit courses prior to these
consultations.
B. Suspension
1. A student who obviously fails to achieve at a level commensurate with his
measured ability may be suspended for at least one semester.
2. A student suspended for academic reasons is not eligible for reinstatement
for at least one semester, preferably two.
3. A student seeking reinstatement to Lebanon Valley College must apply in
writing to the dean of the college.
4. Students suspended for academic reasons are not permitted to register for
work in the auxiliary schools except for the most compelling reasons and then
only with the approval of the assistant dean of the college.
5. A student may be suspended without a prior period on probation.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
Lebanon Valley College was founded as a Christian college and continues to
be dedicated to its faith. All students are invited and urged to participate in some
phase of religious activity.
The Chapel-Convocation Program
A series of twenty-four programs is held each semester from which each
student selects a minimum of twelve to fulfill attendance requirements. These
programs include chapel services and convocation programs that are held on
Tuesday mornings, as well as cultural events selected by the Chapel-Convocation
Committee. This committee, with equal representation from administration,
faculty, and students, will announce the total chapel-convocation program at the
beginning of each semester.
Sunday Services
The United Methodist Church and the other churches of the community
extend a warm welcome to all college students who wish to attend Sunday
worship.
There are six congregations of different denominations in Annville itself.
Other parishes of major religious groups not found in Annville are located within
a five-mile radius of the college.
PROJECT
PROJECT is the all-campus organization which coordinates the activities of
the various denominational religious groups on campus. It also provides programs
and activities to fulfill the spiritual needs of the students and promotes the spirit
of brotherhood in the college community. Throughout the year the organization
sponsors a Big Sister-Little Sister, Big Brother-Little Brother program, and
all-campus retreats for fun, fellowship and relaxation. PROJECT also provides
special seasonal services, opportunities for weekend work camps, presentations
by guest speakers, films, dramas, and other types of programs. All students are
welcome to assist in the planning and to participate in these activities.
Denominational Organizations
It is possible for the different denominations and faiths to organize their
students into clubs or other type organizations. Each of these groups in turn elects
one of its members to the Executive Board of PROJECT.
Religious Emphasis Day
This is one of the outstanding religious events of the school year. Notable
speakers are invited to share their experiences with the student body through the
chapel-convocation programs and personal interviews. Other features usually
included in the activities of the day are a music program by a student group, and a
movie or drama.
The Balmer Showers Lectureship
This annual lectureship was established and endowed by the late Bishop
Emeritus J. Balmer Showers, '07, of the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
Under the stipulations of the endowment, the lectures are delivered by distin-
guished scholars of recognized leadership in the areas of Christian faith and the-
ology, biblical archaeology and interpretation, and Christian ethics of the Chris-
tian ministry.
37
Religion and Life Lectures
The purpose of the Religion and Life Lectures is to deepen the student's
understanding of some of the problems of life and the religious resources that are
available to meet such problems. Currently, the Religion and Life Lectures and the
Balmer Showers Lectures are coordinated into a series of three offerings at various
times during the year.
Delta Tau Chi
Delta Tau Chi is an organization composed primarily of students who have
decided to devote full-time service to church vocations. Membership is open,
however, to all students who wish to participate in its activities and subscribe to
its purpose. The group holds regularly scheduled meetings and daily meditations,
sends deputations to churches, conducts programs at various hospitals and homes,
and enters into other community projects.

in the department of music, and lectures sponsored by the various departments of
the colleges. In addition, the neighboring communities of Harrisburg, Hershey
and Lebanon offer concerts, lectures, and other cultural activities throughout the
year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Within the program and operation of Lebanon Valley College, there is a wide
commitment to the principle of shared governance. In this commitment, various
areas of student life come under the jurisdiction of student government in varying
degrees as that part of the total campus governance system has been developed
over a period of time.
The representative organizations described below are privileged to conduct
the affairs of the student body of Lebanon Valley College under their separate
responsibilities in such manner as to guide and promote the affairs of the students
and as to refrain from acting contrary to local, state, and federal laws and to the
Student Conduct Code as defined in the L-Book.
Student Council
The Student Council seeks to foster understanding and cooperation among
the students, faculty, and administration of Lebanon Valley College. It is the
responsibility of the Student Council to serve as the central clearing house for all
recommendations and grievances emanating from the student body and to make
recommendations for altering or establishing policy to the appropriate administra-
tive office or faculty committees. The Student Council also coordinates student
activities and provides for the financing of those activities. It is composed of
eighteen members.
Student Judicial Board
The Student Judicial Board is responsible for the investigating and/or ad-
judicating alleged infractions of the Student Conduct Code. It is composed of eight
elected students, eight selected students, and 3 non-student members represent-
ing the faculty, administration and Board of Trustees.
Judicial Appeals Board
The Judicial Appeals Board hears appeals from students on decisions ren-
dered by the Student Judicial Board and/or sanctions imposed by the Dean of
39
Students. It is composed of four students, three faculty members, and three
administrators.
Position Statement
The primary concern of the College in regard to the social life of its students is
to provide an atmosphere which stimulates scholarship and personal growth. It
attempts to provide the privacy and peace necessary for study, and to encourage
the individual to take as much responsibility as possible for his/her own behavior,
so that the rights of others to privacy, peace and property are not infringed.
As guidelines for the behavior deemed conducive to scholarship and develop-
ing sensitivity to the restraints of community living, the College recognizes the
position taken by the United Methodist Church, to which it is affiliated, and by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Discipline of that church firmly opposes the
misuse of drugs and affirms its long-standing recommendation of abstention from
alcoholic beverages because of the spiritual, physical, and social harm such
practices may produce. The College endorses this position and strongly discour-
ages the use of drugs and alcoholic beverages by its students. The laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania prohibit the possession and use of all illegal
drugs and the possession and use of alcoholic beverages by minors (presently
defined as those prior to their twenty-first birthday). The College fully supports
the laws of the state, and acknowledges the rights of enforcement of these laws by
civil authority.
Most of the success of any community in establishing a harmonious and
productive atmosphere rests on the voluntary cooperation of its members. In the
event, however, the failure of individuals to respect the rights and privileges of
others and of the institution, the offenders against the community will be subject
to penalties designated by the appropriate student government agencies and/or
administrative office.
STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
The complete Student Conduct Code appears in the L-Book. Several provi-
sions of that code that require emphasis are given here in order to prevent
misunderstanding on the part of all prospective students. A violation of the
Student Conduct Code occurs when a student:
1 . Limits or restricts the freedom of any member of the campus community
to move about in a lawful manner.
2. Creates or participates in a disturbance that infringes upon the individ-
ual's right to privacy.
3. Enters or uses facilities or property of the College or another person
without authorization from the appropriate College official or person.
4. Misuses, removes, damages fire or safety equipment.
5. Uses or possesses firearms, explosives (including firecrackers) or other
dangerous articles or substances potentially injurious to persons or property.
6. Possesses and/or consumes alcoholic beverages on any property owned
by Lebanon Valley College.
7. Possesses, distributes, sells, or is under the influence of narcotics,
hallucinogenics, dangerous drugs, or controlled substances except as permitted
by law.
8. Intentionally obstructs the administrative or academic operation and
functions of the College.
9. Visits in an individual's dormitory room at times and under conditions
that are prohibited by institutional policy. (See L-Bookj
10. Keeps pets in College buildings or on College grounds unless prior
approval by the Dean of Students has been given.
40
ATHLETICS AND RECREATION
Lebanon Valley College maintains a full program of intramural and intercol-
legiate athletic activities. Intramural leagues and tournaments are conducted in
the various sports for men and women.
The college participates in ten intercollegiate sports for men (baseball,
basketball, cross-country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, track, wrestling and ten-
nis) and three for women (basketball, hockey and lacrosse).
Lebanon Valley College is a member of the following national and regional
athletic associations; National Collegiate Athletic Association, Middle Atlantic
States Collegiate Athletic Conference, Eastern College Athletic Conference, the
Central Pennsylvania Field Hockey Association, and the Penn-Mar Conference for
women.
Aims and Objectives of Intercollegiate Athletics
Lebanon Valley College supports its intercollegiate athletics program because
it offers its students an opportunity to participate in activities that afford an outlet
for competitive spirit and vitality, while further providing each student with an
opportunity to develop, understand and appreciate the values of teamwork, pride,
morale, dedication, physical fitness and school spirit.
41
COURSES OF STUDY
GENERAL INFORMATION
Course Numbering System
The first digit of the three-digit course number indicates the academic year in
which the course is normally taken. Thus, a course is normally taken in the senior
year if the first digit is 4, in the junior year if it is 3, in the sophomore year if it is 2,
and in the freshman year if it is 1. (A first digit of 1 may also indicate that the
course may be taken by freshmen even though it is usually taken by sophomores,
juniors or seniors.) A first digit of 5 is employed for courses in private music
instruction and independent study courses. Course numbers for music organiza-
tions have 6 as a first digit. The same number is used each time a student enrolls in
a course whose first digit is 5 or 6.
A course is offered in the first semester if the third digit is an odd number, in
the second semester if the third digit is an even number. A course with 0 as a third
digit is a one-semester course offered in both semesters.
A comma separating the numbers of two courses with a common title
indicates that the first course (offered in the first semester) is a prerequisite to the
second course (offered in the second semester). A slash (/) separating the numbers
of two courses with a common title indicates that the first course is not a
prerequisite for the second course.
A course is offered every year if an academic year is not included.
Course Credit
Semester hours of credit, class hours per week, and laboratory hours per week
are indicated by three numbers at the end of the line containing the course number
and title. For example, "4:3:4" for Biology 201 means four semester hours of
credit, three classroom hours per week, and four laboratory hours per week.

stration, visual aids, supplementary reading.
BIOLOGY
Associate Professor Wolf, Chairman; Associate Professor Argot and Wolfe; As-
sistant Professors Henninger. Pollack, Verhoek, and Williams
The work outlined in the following courses in biology is intended to develop
an appreciation of man's relation to his universe, to acquaint students with those
fundamental concepts necessary for the proper interpretation of the phenomena

DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
The departmental honors program in elementary education permits the capa-
ble student to increase the depth of his understanding in an area of special interest
and the general scope of his knowledge of elementary education. It is planned as
an integral part of the student's major program rather than work superimposed
upon it.
A student majoring in elementary education may participate in the de--
partmental honors program when he completes the freshman-sophomore college
honors program or when he demonstrates in his academic work the caliber of
scholarship required to undertake an extensive research project. He must also
have achieved a 3.3 grade-point average in departmental courses and a 3.0
grade-point average in all college courses. Application is made in writing to the
chairman of the department not later than the end of the first semester of the junior
year. Approval of the application must be given by the dean of the college upon
recommendation by the department staff.
A maximum of nine credit hours may be earned in this program. These hours
will be distributed over the junior and senior years with a minimum of one and a
maximum of three hours to be taken in one semester. This must include participa-
tion in the Senior Seminar, Elementary Education 444, which is required of all
students majoring in elementary education. The student will investigate an area of
special interest beginning with the study of the literature and culminating in the
design and execution of an approved experimental or theoretical research project.
He will submit to the departmental chairman periodic progress reports and any
53
other indication of performance that may be required by the department. The
project should be completed by March of the senior year, at which time the
student will report and defend the findings of the project in a manner to be
determined by the departmental staff.
Graduation with departmental honors in elementary education will depend
on the quality of performance in the research project, the maintenance of the grade-
point averages required for admission to the program, success in the comprehen-
sive student-teaching program, and the final approval of the departmental staff
and the dean of the college.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Associate Professor Cooper, Chairman; Professor Emeritus Damus; Associate
Professor Cantrell; Assistant Professors Iglesias, Markowicz, Nowicki, Saylor,
Scott, and Strange
The study of a modern foreign language has a three-fold aim. The first is to
develop fluency in the basic communication skills — speaking, listening com-
prehension, reading and writing. The second is to provide a direct, concrete
understanding and appreciation of the literature, civilization and cultural heritage
of the people w^hose language is studied by use of the language and cultural
elements. The third aim is to develop an understanding of language as the
fundamental medium in which mankind thinks, perceives and interacts.
The department prepares the language major for a career in many crucial and
challenging fields: teaching, diplomatic and government service, foreign trade,
business and industry, and social service fields. Since knowledge of a foreign
language alone is often insufficient for many of these careers, the language major
should, as appropriate, combine study of foreign languages with work in other
disciplines.
Major: A student may elect either a major in one language or a departmental
major, which requires two languages. The major in one language requires 24
hours above the elementary level in that language; the departmental major
requires the same plus at least 12 hours above the elementary level in another
language. A major in one language with certification to teach requires 2 additional
hours. In all cases the general college requirement of completing a foreign
language at the intermediate level must be fulfilled in still another language.
In French, German and Spanish at least one advanced course in offered each
semester. All courses are conducted in the language studied with the exception of
Greek, Latin, and Scientific German.
It is strongly recommended that foreign language majors be proficient in more
than one language, and that the junior year be spent in study abroad. To facilitate
study abroad. Lebanon Valley College has become a cooperating member of the
International Studies Program of Central College (Pella, Iowa). This program
provides for 11 or 12 months study of German in Germany and Austria, French in
France, and Spanish in Spain.
Degree; For the student who majors in foreign languages, French, German, or
Spanish, the B.A. degree is offered.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Students who are majoring in foreign languages may become candidates for
departmental honors if they have a grade-point average of 3.0 in departmental
courses, and if they receive permission from the departmental staff and the dean of
the college, ordinarily no later than the end of the first semester of their junior
year.
59
Honors work will involve the selection of a topic for investigation under the
guidance of the department adviser, independent reading and study, frequent
conferences with the adviser, preparation of a paper to be submitted by March 15 of
the senior year, satisfactory defense of the paper before a committee composed of
the departmental staff, the dean of the college, and any other faculty members who
may be invited to participate, and, finally, an oral examination in the language of
major concentration. If these requirements are satisfied, the student will be
graduated with honors in his major language.

PHILOSOPHY
Associate Professor Thompson, Chairman; Adjunct Professor Ehrhart; Assistant
Professor Heffner
The department of philosophy serves a major purpose in the curriculum by
attempting to make the student aware of the need for a critical evaluation and
81
analysis of the ideas, beliefs, and faiths — scientific and humanistic — within the
Western intellectual tradition.
Part of the rationale for the study of philosophy at the college is found in the
value of its attempt to examine the history of ideas as it comes to us from the
ancient Greeks. But more than this, philosophy seeks to interpret and analyze
these ideas as they relate to the student's own existence and that of mankind as a
whole. The study of philosophy at Lebanon Valley College takes both inspiration
and justification from the maxim of Socrates that "the unexamined life is not
worth living."
Major: A total of twenty-four hours, including Philosophy 120, is required for
the philosophy major.
Degree: For the student who majors in philosophy, the B.A. degree is offered.

COOPERATIVE ENGINEERING PROGRAM
Adviser: Dr. Rhodes
Lebanon Valley College offers a cooperative program in engineering whereby
a student may earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Lebanon Valley College and
a Bachelor of Science degree in one of the fields of engineering from the University
of Pennsylvania or other cooperating institution.
Students who pursue this cooperative engineering program take three years of
work at Lebanon Valley College in the liberal arts and also in the mathematics and
physics courses prerequisite for engineering. Then, if recommended by Lebanon
Valley College, they may attend the University of Pennsylvania or other cooperat-
ing institution for two additional years of work in engineering. After the
satisfactory completion of the fourth year of the program the student is granted the
Bachelor of Science degree by Lebanon Valley College. At the completion of the
fifth year the University grants the appropriate engineering degree.
The College also participates in a 4-1 program in engineering with the
University of Pennsylvania. In this program the student completes his four-year
baccalaureate program at Lebanon Valley College and then moves into an
engineering curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania which leads to the
Master of Science degree in a field of engineering.
At the University of Pennsylvania the student may select from among eight
different curricula- — bioengineering, chemical engineering, civil and urban en-
gineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering and science,
mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, metallurgy and materials science,
or systems science and engineering. A typical program for the first three years of
the cooperative engineering program is given below, but each student's program
is planned to meet his particular needs.
