History of the College
In 1866 the East Pennsylvania Conference of the Church of the United
Brethren in Christ sought to establish an institution of higher learning
within its boundaries. Site selection had been narrowed to two towns
— Annville and Lebanon. The town making the best financial offer would
become the future site of the college. Thus, five visionary citizens of Ann-
ville purchased the red brick, Annville Academy on Main Street for the sum
of $4,500 and presented it to the church conference "on the condition that
they would establish and maintain forever an institution of learning of high
grade." That institution became Lebanon Valley College and remains, today,
more than 114 years later, true to its founding fathers' dream, "an institution
of learning of high grade."
Over the years, Lebanon Valley College has progressed from a simple
one building complex on a few acres of land to an 80-acre campus with 33
buildings ranging in age from 1900 to 1975, and assets totaling more than
$20 million. College landmarks bear the names of presidents, benefactors,
and influential faculty and staff— Bender, Bollinger, Blair, Faust, Pencil,
Funkhouser, Green, Gossard, Hammond, Kreider, Keister, Lynch, Miller,
Mund and Vickroy— men and women who believed in the dream of 1866,
and who committed themselves to its fulfillment.
But Lebanon Valley College history is more than a collection of build-
ings and artifacts. Few colleges and universities are fortunate enough to
have living historians on campus. At Lebanon Valley College, Dr. Samuel O.
Grimm, professor emeritus of physics, is a living link with the past. "Soggy"
(an affectionate nickname) came to Lebanon Valley College in 1909 as a
student and returned to teach in 1912. His acquaintences, then, were the
very people who knew the founding fathers. Professor Grimm still visits his
laboratory daily, and he and his wife Maude take their daily walk down Main
Street past the site where the Annville Academy once stood. Despite his age
of 91 years. Dr. Grimm looks forward to the fulfillment of another piece of
Lebanon Valley College history:
Today, under the capable leadership of its thirteenth president. Dr.
Frederick P. Sample, Lebanon Valley College embarks upon its most chal-
lenging goal fulfillment in its entire history— the raising of $10 million to
substantially increase the endowment fund of the college and to construct a
$4.8 million new science center on the campus. As history repeats itself,
Lebanon Valley College will realize this goal and others, while remaining
"an institution of learning of high grade," committed to perpetuating the
dream of 1866.

Where Is Lebanon Valley College?
At Lebanon Valley College you can have the best of both worlds as far as
location is concerned. Although the college is located in a small town it is close
to urban centers such as Lebanon, Hershey, Lancaster, Reading and Harrisburg.
While the small town of Annville offers peace and quiet which in itself is an
asset, it also offers the services of gas stations, a drugstore, food markets, several
banks, churches, a hardware store and restaurants. On the other hand, the urban
centers offer numerous social and cultural opportunities within the reach of
many students.
Lebanon Valley College is located in the southcentral "Pennsylvania Dutch"
country of rolling farmlands, within an hours drive of the cities of Lancaster,
Reading and Harrisburg. The college is just minutes away from the towns of
Lebanon (famous for Lebanon bologna) and Hershey (famous for chocolate
and its amusement park).
access routes including the Penn-
sylvania Turnpike (76) and Interstate 81
with nearby connections to Interstates 80
and 83.

What Is Lebanon Valley College?
Over the years, Lebanon Valley College has gained a fine reputation as a co-educa-
tional, church related, liberal arts institution.
Since our founding in 1866, Lebanon Valley College has been church related, and is
today affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Throughout our more than 110 years
of existence, we have constantly examined our reasons for being in the business of
education. Today, as much as ever, we at Lebanon Valley College have 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.
Consequently, there are only 950 full-time students on our campus, and when you
stack that up against our 75 full-time and 30 part-time teaching faculty, that does mean
personal attention. In many cases it means contact on a first name basis. But personal
attention isn't the only thing we're interested in at Lebanon Valley College.
We are dedicated to providing you with a quality liberal arts education tempered with
enough practical experience to help you enter the job market at graduation time. If you
come to Lebanon Valley College you'll find that there's plenty of hard work involved in
pursuing a college career, but that we try to offer a variety of social, cultural and personal
experiences to make your four-year college experience a well-rounded one.
"Who Is Lebanon Valley College?
At Lebanon Valley College you will meet a number of interesting and thought provok-
ing people, whether they are students, members of the administrative staff or faculty
members.
Our 950 students represent 15 states and 5 foreign countries. There is an equal
distribution between men and women. Approximately 66% of our students come from
Pennsylvania and 19% from New Jersey. 820 of the students live on campus while 130
are commuters.
Our professional administrative staff which numbers 34 keeps the college's business
affairs running smoothly while offering such student services as career planning and
placement, publicity and health care.
Our professors represent a unique cross section of individuals. Of the associate and
full professors 85% hold an earned doctorate degree. Our faculty members come from
6 What Is L. V.C? such schools as the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, the Juilliard School
of Music, Yale University and Boston University, to name just a few. Our faculty also
represent more than 50 undergraduate institutions, while representing nearly 60 post-
graduate institutions. This broad base of faculty education helps to insure that the
college expresses a wide range of thoughts and ideas in all academic disciplines.
In addition to having some of the nation's finest schools as background, our faculty
are intensely interested in one thing— teaching. Because of our extremely low student to
faculty ratio (10.5-1), we are able to claim an average class size of 18 students. While
some lower level freshman and introductory courses are of the larger lecture type, nu-
merous upper level courses are of the informal seminar type, often with class size of 10
or fewer. And that allows for maximum teaching effectiveness.
Since on the average a professor spends only 11 hours a week in the classroom, he has
sufficient time to spend in class preparation, research and providing out-of-classroom
help for those students who need help and seek it.
Many of our professors work on field-related projects in their spare time and add yet
another dimension to their classroom teaching— first hand experience. One of our soci-
ology professors is the coordinator of a Women's Crisis Intervention Center in a local
community. A professor in the English department has written two books, both pub-
lished in the prestigious Twayne United States Author Series. A husband and wife team
in biology bring additional outside research findings to their classes. She has discovered
two previously unknown plants in the Michoacan mountain province in Southern Mex-
ico. He continues original research in the field of carnivorous plants. And the list of
faculty accomplishments goes on and on.
Our students represent a diverse cross section of individuals. Our administrative staff
members are dedicated to improving the operation of the college. And our faculty are
primarily interested in teaching. At Lebanon Valley College, students, staff and faculty
work together to create an atmosphere that fosters enlivened curiosity, self-discipline,
and excitement about ideas. All are characteristic of an educated individual.
Campus Life
When you come to Lebanon Valley College the first thing that you may notice is that
it is a very friendly place. Not only will many of your professors know you on a first name
basis, you will also develop many first name relationships with other students.
There is no imposed segregation between upper and underclassmen at the college. As
a freshman you may live on the same floor as upperclassmen and you may notice a
number of upperclassmen in some of the courses that you select.
When you're not in class or studying, your free time is your own. Many students elect
8 Campus Life to become involved in numerous campus organizations, choosing a variety of extra-
curricular experiences. Other students are more selective and choose to devote consid-
erable time to one or two campus organizations. And the campus organizations that you
can choose from are very diverse.
For students in the academic departments of biology, chemistry, elementary education
and mathematics there are departmental clubs. There are several special interest groups
including a chess club, an international relations club, a photography club, and a ski
club. There is a service fraternity and sorority on campus as well as five social fraternities
and sororities.
Another area of intense student interest is in dramatics and musical productions.
Each year the Wig and Buckle Society presents two performances— a dramatic perfor-
mance and musical production. Alpha Psi Omega, the dramatics fraternity, has presented
a series of one-act-plays for Parents Weekend for the past several years. Sinfonia and
SAI, the men's and women's music fraternities, also present a musical each year. All of
the Lebanon Valley College productions take place in the College Center Little Theater
entirely under student supervision. If you have a flair for acting, producing or like to
work behind the scene of a stage production, there is plenty of opportunity to do so.
Recent productions have included The Glass Menagerie, Applause, Little Mary Sun-
shine and The Comedy of Errors.
If you're into music, there are nine musical organizations on campus, and you don't
need to be a music major to be a member. These organizations include the unique All
Girl Band, the Concert Choir and Chamber Orchestra that goes on tour each Spring, and
the LVC Jazz Band. Other more traditional music groups include the Marching Band,
the College Chorus and the Symphony Orchestra.
Another important part of your student life at Lebanon Valley College could include
religious activities. The college employs a full-time chaplain who coordinates several
interfaith activities and who is available for counseling. Each week a chapel convocation
program presents outstanding lecturers, both sacred and secular, who speak on a variety
of thought provoking subjects. Guest artists and performers are also part of the chapel
program series. Each year opening semester convocations have presented such well-
known speakers 3iS National Review publisher William Rusher, political activist, Julian
Bond, former CIA director, William Colby, and China expert, Ross Terrill. A Religious
Emphasis Day, held each spring, presents such speakers as Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr.,
Ruth Carter Stapleton, and Colonel James Irwin.
In addition to participating in on-campus religious activities, students are welcomed
by community congregations. Our students represent more than 30 different religious
denominations. Some students serve in such capacities as organists, choir directors,
guest musicians, Sunday School teachers and supply ministers in local churches.
Athletics could also be an important part of your life on the Lebanon Valley campus.
We offer a wide range of programs in intramural and intercollegiate athletics. Lebanon
Valley College is a member of Division III of the Middle Atlantic Conference in athletic
competition. For men the college offers intercollegiate baseball, basketball, cross-coun-
try, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, track and wrestling. For women the college
offers intercollegiate basketball, field hockey and lacrosse. Additional sports offered in
10 Campus Life intramural athletics include weightlifting, volleyball, paddleball, squash, ping pong,
%.
I f nk
Softball, swimming and billiards for men, and tennis, volleyball, paddleball, ping pong
and Softball for women.
Other student activities at Lebanon Valley College revolve around the College Center
complex. The facility includes offices for the campus radio station (WLVC), the year-
book, and the Spring Arts Festival. The center also includes the snack shop, a game
room, the college bookstore, a music listening lounge, the dining halls, the little theater
and a television lounge.
The College Center has a spacious entrance lobby used for monthly art exhibits
featuring the works of artists from central Pennsylvania. You may also appreciate the
annual Spring Arts Festival held on the campus the last weekend of April. This event,
conceived by a student more than ten years ago, has blossomed into one of the largest
arts festivals of its kind in the area. Thousands visit the campus to enjoy outdoor art
exhibits with arts and crafts for sale, a juried arts and crafts exhibition, numerous
performing groups, as well as theme exhibits and performances during the four-day
affair. The festival is directed by students and community volunteers.
In student government, Lebanon Valley college has three organizations, all with
student representation. The Student Council serves as a clearing house for recommen-
dations coming from students, in addition to coordinating and financing student activi-
ties such as concerts, symposiums and movie series. The Student Judicial Board is
responsible for investigating alleged infractions of the student conduct code, for hearing
cases, and for recommending appropriate discipline in the cases of conduct code viola-
tions. The Judicial Appeals Board, in turn, hears appeals from students on decisions
handed down by the Judicial Board or the Dean of Students.
You may have some questions about dormitory life. All of our dormitories have been
built since 1957. There are three large dormitories for men and three for women. There
are also several small housing units available. The majority of our rooms are double
which means that you will probably have a roommate. If you are a freshman you may
specify a roommate from your hometown or other acquaintance. If you don't have a
specific roommate in mind we'll try to match you with someone of your own lifestyle.
Each year, upperclassmen are allowed to sign up for next year's room and roommate.
Freshmen are not segregated from upperclassmen in housing arrangements.
Each of the new dormitories has one or more study lounges, a television lounge,
student mailboxes, food and drink concessions, and laundry facilities. None of the dorms
are coeducational but there is an intervisitation policy for all students.
Recognizing the laws of Pennsylvania and our founding's background, the college
prohibits the possession and use of both alcohol and illegal drugs on the campus.
The primary concern of the college regarding social life is to provide an atmosphere
which stimulates scholarship and personal growth. We realize that recreation is an
important part of college life, but after all, the primary reason that most people come to
college is to receive an education. We attempt to provide you with the privacy and peace
necessary for study, and to encourage you to take responsibility for your behavior so that
12 CampusLife your fellow student's right to privacy, peace and property are not abused.

Academic Life
Since you are interested in a liberal arts college you probably already realize that you
will need to take a number of courses of a general nature in addition to those courses
that relate specifically to your major. These general requirements take up about one third
of your coursework during your four years at LVC and are selected, by you, from a number
of specified courses. These general requirements fall under the following headings:
Writing Skills; Religion or Philosophy; Natural Science; Individual and Group Behavior;
Language; Arts and Letters; and Physical Education.
In addition to fulfilling the general requirements, you will also need to complete the
required number of hours and courses for your major. These requirements vary from
department to department, but you will supplement your major with courses of your own
choice and consistent with your own interests.
The flexibility of the Lebanon Valley College curriculum is especially helpful if you
enroll without a particular vocational or educational goal in mind. During the freshman
and sophomore years you can choose from courses offered by any department of the
college while fulfilling general requirements. The two-year period is usually sufficient
for a student to choose a major.
If one of our 33 majors doesn't suit your needs, you can design your own major with
the help of two advisers. Some students major in two fields.
You'll also find that you will be eligible for one of four degrees offered by Lebanon
Valley College. They include the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science
degree, the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology degree, and the Bachelor of
Science in Chemistry degree (American Chemical Society certified). Your major, with
the exception of the individualized major, will determine the type of degree that you
receive at graduation. The individualized major's degree is determined by the specific
areas of concentration.
At Lebanon Valley College you may take advantage of a number of special programs:
Beginning in the sophomore year you may elect to take up to two courses per semester
on a pass/fail basis, with a total of six courses permitted pass/fail in the last three years.
The college honors program provides an opportunity for superior students to develop
and challenge their intellectual abilities. For students interested in doing special study
on their own, each major department offers the independent study program.
In addition to attending traditional courses on the college campus, you may also
participate, for credit, in off-campus educational opportunities, usually during the junior
and senior years. These opportunities include the Germantown Metropolitan semester,
the Merrill-Palmer Institute semester, the Junior Year Abroad, the. Marine Biology
summer study program and the Washington semester program. You may also participate
in internship programs which provide major-related work experience with various com-
munity businesses and service organizations.
14 Academic Life For graduation you will need to have completed a minimum of 120 total hours of

credit (including general requirements, requirements for the major and elective courses)
plus two courses in physical education.
If you are transferring to Lebanon Valley College you will need to complete a minimum
of 30 hours of work on the Lebanon Valley campus in order to qualify for graduation.
Each transfer student s credits are considered on an individual basis.
Students holding an associate degree from a regionally accredited two-year college
will be admitted with full acceptance of course work, providing the work is compatible
with the liberal arts curriculum at Lebanon Valley College.
Although there are a number of requirements for all students, the thing to remember
is that they are of a general nature. When it comes to making a choice of courses within
a particular area, the decision is yours. The requirements within your major are also
designed to give you a basic background of information within a specific field, augmented
by elective courses of interest to you and consistent with your future vocational goals.
M'e Offer You Help
Regarding the many decisions that you will make, don't think that once you get to
college we'll abandon you. Lebanon Valley College's dual advising system is designed to
give a new student a good start in college life. You will be assigned an academic adviser
who will help you select a course of study suited to your specific needs. A second adviser,
assigned to you during your first year at the college, will try to help you with any
adjustment problem that you might encounter— or he or she may just turn out to be a
friend that you like to visit when you have a few minutes.
Even after you have started classes, our concern for you doesn't stop. If you need help
you can get it. Our faculty, who are primarily teaching oriented, spend considerable time
with students. This is one of the advantages of our low student to faculty ratio. During
class, professors spend sufficient time in answering questions as well as presenting new
material. After class you don't have to contend with graduate students for a professor's
time, nor do you have to seek a teaching assistant for help. Our professors' schedules are
flexible enough that if you need extra help you can get it.
Some departments offer tutorial help, and the college recently irhplemented a reading
and study skills program. Students may enlist the services of a Student Writing Center
which offers individualized instruction in writing to any Lebanon Valley College student.
This informal, unpressured and personal learning environment allows tutor and student
to work together to improve a student's writing skills.
Throughout your four years at Lebanon Valley College you will be asked to make a
number of decisions regarding your education. For many students the decisions will be
clear and simple. For others, decisions are best made with an adviser's guidance. We are
mainly concerned, however, that you are an active participant in choosing and creating a
program of study that suits your individual needs.

statement of
Purpose
20 State, 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 unham-
pered 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 con-
temporary 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 imagination, and
moral commitment; and (4) to deal candidly and intelligently with the past, the
present, and the future and their inter relationship.
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 accomplishments;
development of logical thought and clear communication; practice in precise anal-
ysis and effective performance. The academic, social, religious, and aesthetic ex-
periences 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 instituion which is
academically strong, guided by the Christian faith, and small enough to give per-
sonal attention to all students.

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.
Throughout the year several organizations (PROJECT, Delta Tau Chi and Fellow-
ship of Christian Athletes) contribute to the overall religious atmosphere at the college
by sponsoring retreats, lectures, seasonal communion services and daily devotions.
Each year the college also sponsors several religious lectureships including the
Balmer Showers Lectureship, Religion and Life lectures and Religious Emphasis Week.
Students are also encouraged to participate in local congregations of their own
faith, or at the College Church, Annville United Methodist Church.
Social Life
22 Cult. Opport.
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 developing
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 Common-
wealth 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 discourages 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, of
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.
The complete Student Conduct Code appears in the L-Book. Several provisions 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 ttie 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 individual's right to privacy.
3. Enters or uses facilities or property of the col-
lege or another person without authorization from the
appropriate college official or person.
4. Misuses, removes, damages tire or safety
equipment.
5. Uses or possesses firearms, explosives (includ-
ing firecrackers) or other dangerous articles
or substances potentially injurious to persons or
property.
6. Possesses and/or consumes alcoholic bever-
ages on any property owned by Lebanon \'alley
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. \'isits in an individual's dormitory room at
times and under conditions that are prohibited by in-
stitutional policy^St'L' L-Buok)
10. Keeps pets in college buildings or on college
grounds unless prior approval by the dean of students
has been given.
Student
Condtict
Code
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 responsibili-
ties 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 theL-Book.
Student Council
The Student Council seeks to foster understand-
ing 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 administrative office or fac-
ulty committees. The Student Council also coordi-
nates 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 adjudicating alleged infractions
of the Student Conduct Code. It is composed of eight
elected students, eight selected students, and non-
student members appointed by the president of the
college.
Judicial Appeals Board
The Judicial Appeals Board hears appeals from
students on decisions rendered by the Student Judicial
Board and/or sanctions imposed by the dean of stu-
dents. It is composed of four students, three faculty
members, and three administrators.

Advanced placement in appropriate courses and credit will be granted to entering
students who make scores of 4 or 5 on College Board Advanced Placement examinations.
For scores of 3, final determination is made by the appropriate department.
Advanced Placement without credit may be granted on the basis of the Achieve-
ment Tests of the College Board examinations or such other proficiency tests as may be
determined by the registrar and by the chairman of the department.
College
Level
Examina-
tion
Program
(CLEP)
Credit is granted for acceptable achievement on such Subject Examinations of the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) as are approved by appropriate depart-
ments and the Curriculum Committee. Students shall have achieved a scaled score of 50
or better on the objective section and earned a grade of C or better, as determined by the
appropriate department, on the essay section of the examination.
Six (6) semester hours credit each is granted for achievement of a composite score
in the 50th percentile or above in General Examinations in English Composition, Hu-
manities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and History. Three (3) hours credit will be
applied to the appropriate General Requirement areas. For the English Composition
Examination, the student is given credit for English 111. For the Mathematics Exami-
nation, the student is given credit for Mathematics 100. Request for credit must be
submitted to the director of auxiliary schools for Weekend College students, and to the
registrar for other students prior to the student's completion of 30 semester hours credit.
Examinations may be taken prior to admissions or after a student has matriculated
at the College. Credit is given only to students who ha\'e matriculated at the College.
Applicants for admission interested in receiving credit should consult with the Office of
Admissions; current students should consult with the registrar. Applicants interested in
the CLEP Program should write to the Program Director, College Level Examination
Program, PO. 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.
A student applying for advanced standing after having attended another accredited
instituion shall send an official transcript to the dean 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 transferred count for hours only, not for quality points.
A candidate for admission holding an associate degree from a regionally accredited
college can be admitted with full acceptance of course work at the previous institution.
Course work in the ynajor field, however, for which the applicant has received a D will
not be counted toward fulfilling the major requirement.
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 curriculum and
academic programs of the college and has been enrolled in a transfer program.
In most instances the applicant may be expected to complete the baccalaureate
degree within two years. However, when the requirements of a particular major field or
the nature of the previous study demand additional work beyond two years, the applicant
will normally be notified at the time of admission.
Transfer
Credit
Two spring orientation days, one in April and another in May, are 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 aca-
demic surroundings. This time is devoted to lectures, social activities, and informal
meetings with upperclassmen and faculty members.

Costs and Financial Aid
Financial
Support
Lebanon Valley College receives support authorized by the General Conference of
the United Methodist Church, individual congregations of the denomination in the
Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and the Central Pennsylvania Conference, endow-
ments, and the Pennsylvania Foundation for Independent Colleges. Also, since at Leba-
non 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 $3,600,000. 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.

Student charges are based upon the principal of prepayment (i.e., to keep student
charges at a minimum and yet at a level consistent with maintaining adequate facilities
and high quality instruction, payment is a prerequisite for registration). The student
does not pay the full cost of his education, for a portion of the cost of his education is
derived from endowment earnings, gifts, and grants.

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
between semesters.
The college reserves the right to inspect any student's room at any time. Periodic
inspection of residence halls will be made by members of the administration.
The college is not responsible for loss of personal possessions by the students. It is
recommended that each student consider the need to provide private insurance coverage.
32 Meals
f^i^OtS ^'^ 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.
Lebanon Valley College makes every effort to financially assist those students who,
without such assistance, would be unable to attend. It is impossible for many students to
meet the high costs of the quality education which Lebanon Valley provides, and this is
supported by the fact that nearly 70"o of current LVC students are receiving some type of
aid.
Lebanon Valley s financial aid program is based on the premise that it is the respon-
sibility of the student and his or her parents to meet educational expenses to the extent
that they are able. When it is determined that a student demonstrates financial;?ft?t/ (the
difference between overall educational costs and the amount of money the family can
reasonably make available for educational purposes), aid resources are then allocated in
an effort to meet that need. Lebanon Valley subscribes to the nationally accepted need
analysis guidelines known as uniform methodology.
In order to assist the greatest number of needy students, limited financial aid
resources are allocated equitably in packages consisting of gift aid (grants, scholarships)
and "self-help (loans, work). No student should be expected to carry an unusual burden
of self-help under normal circumstances, nor should any student expect his need to be
met entirely with grant funds.
Financial
Aid
Financial Aid 33
T^pesof
Financial
Assistance
Financial aid resources available to students attending Lebanon Valley College are
of three basic types— grants and scholarships, loans, and employment. Sources of aid
include federal and state governments, various private agencies, and Lebanon Valley
College.
Grants and scholarships are outright gift aid to stu-
dents, and do not have to he repaid. With the e.xcep-
tion of L\'C Presidential Scholarships, which are
merit awards, all grants are need-based. These grants
include: Basic Educational Opportunity Grants
(BEOG). Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (SEOG). Pennsylvania (PHE.A.-X) and other
State Grants, L\'C Grants-in-.Aid. and external grants
and scholarships.
Loans to students are available in the form of Na-
tional Direct Student Loans (XDSL), and Guaran-
teed Student Loans (GSL). The NDSL is a need-
based loan, whereas the GSL may be obtained bv any
student who is enrolled at least halftime, regardless
of need. These loans must be repaid at low interest
rates upon the student's departure from the institu-
tion.
Campus Employment opportunities are available to
students in such areas as the dining hall, library, or
academic departments. Needy students are assigned
part-time jobs under the federally-subsidized Col-
lege Work-Study program; other students may ob-
tain jobs under the institutionally-funded work-aid
program if: 1.) their services are requested by a par-
ticular department, or 2.) there are jobs available
after needy students have been assigned.
More detailed information regarding specific aid programs is contained in the Financial
Aid brochure published each fall by the LVC Financial Aid Office.
Application
Procedures
1.) .All students applying for financial aid at Lebanon
\'alley College must file the complete Financial
.Aid Form (F.AF plus the Supplement) with the-
College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New
Jersey. Filing this form will allow students to be
considered for L\'C Grants, NDSL, SEOG, and Col-
lege Work-Study. The FAF may also be used to
apply for BEOG and some state grants (i.e. New
Jersey). Forms are available in high school guid-
ance offices and college financial aid offices, and

ally. Returning students should file the FAF prior
to .April 1.
Award
Notification
to Students
34 Types of Fin. Afsis.
Students are notified of the amount and provisions of all financial aid awarded upon
the college's receipt and evaluation of all necessary forms. Where awards from external
agencies are expected but not yet made official, estimated awards will be stated. Stu-
dents are responsible for notifying the college of acceptance or rejection of the aid
offered, and are responsible for signing and returning all necessary forms.
Awards to new students are made within two weeks of receipt of all necessary
information, and the college subscribes to the standard financial aid acceptance date of
May L Returning student award notices are sent to students within four weeks of the
end of the spring semester, with an expected response period of thirty days.
The financial aid officer at Lebanon Valley College is responsible for the allocation
of LVC Grants as well as federal campus-based student assistance (NDSL, SEOG, Work-
Study). These resources are used to meet remaining need after BEOG, state grants, and
external awards (not made by LVC) are considered. Lebanon Valley attempts to achieve
a comparable grant vs. self-help ratio in the total aid package of all incoming students,
however, the wide variance in external aid awards (i.e. state aid) often makes this
impossible. Limited institutional resources also require that students' academic talents
and special abilities be considered in the awarding of LVC Grants.
Each student's financial need is computed yearly, and LVC attempts to maintain
approximately the same proportion of grant aid in the student's package, unless the
applicant's need changes drastically

academic requirements are defined as: 1.) students
must be enrolled fulltime, and 2.) must either not
be on academic probation, or, if on probation have
a cumulative grade-point average higher than the
corresponding semester GPA levels which serve as
criteria for academic probation. A student's status
is evaluated each semester. Presidential Scholar-

GPA to insure retention of that award.

In order to demonstrate satisfactory social stand-

Scholarships, students must not be placed on dis-
ciplinary probation by the dean of students. Stu-
dents will be denied L\'C grant assistance for each
semester (including portions of semesters) during
which the student is in probationary status. The
denial of aid will take place in the semester(s) im-
mediately following ttie semester in which disci-

Academic Programs/Procedures
Lebanon Valley College confers four bachelor degrees upon students who are rec-
ommended by the faculty and approved by the Board of Trustees. They are: Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and Bachelor of Science in
Medical Technology.
The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred upon students who complete requirements
in the following areas: English, foreign languages, French, German, history, humanities,
music, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sacred music, social science,
sociology and Spanish.
The Bachelor of Science degree is conferred upon students who complete require-
ments in the following areas: accounting, actuarial science, biochemistry, biology, busi-
ness administration, chemistry, computer science, cooperative engineering, cooperative
forestry, economics, elementary education, mathematics, music education, nuclear med-
icine technology, nursing, operations research, physics and social service.
As appropriate, the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science is conferred
upon the student who completes an individualized major program.
The professional degrees of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Bachelor of
Science in Medical Technology are conferred upon students who complete the respective
requirements.
Degrees
Requirements for degrees are stated in semester hours of credit. 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 two semester hours credit in physical educa-
tion. However, a student who has a physical disability may be excused (on recommen-
dation from the college physician) from the physical education requirement.
Semester
Hours
Each student is assigned a faculty adviser who serves in the capacity of friendly
counselor. 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, change course hours credit, or change from credit to audit or vice
versa.
Faculty
Advisers

Major
As part of the 120 semester hours credit required in academic work, every degree
candidate must present at least 24 semester hours credit in a major. The initial selection
of a major may be indicated or recorded any time before the end of the 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 faculty, as long as the student is in college.
Substitution or waving of specific courses required 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 the
requirements and procedure.
Residence
Require-
ment
Degrees will be conferred only upon those candidates earning in residence a mini-
mum 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.
Transfer
Students
Students transferring from two-year institutions (except those in the medical tech-
nology 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.
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.
Grade-Point
Averages
38 Major
Candidates for degrees must obtain a cumulative grade-point average of 1.75, com-
puted in accordance with the grading system indicated below. In addition, candidates
must earn a major grade-point average of 2.0.
Only grades received in courses taken on campus, in courses staffed by Lebanon
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.
student work is graded .4, B, C, D oxF, with the plus and minus available to faculty
members who wish to use them. These grades have the following meanings:
A —distinguished performance
5— superior work
C— general satisfactory achievement
Z)— 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.
In addition to the above grades, the symbols /, W, WP, and WF are used on grade
reports and in college records. / indicates that the work is incomplete (that the student
has postponed with the prior consent of the instructor and for substantial reason, certain
required work), but otherwise satisfactory. This work must be completed within the first
six weeks of the beginning of the next semester, or the / will be converted to an F.
Appeals for extension of time beyond six weeks must be presented in writing to the
registrar not later than one week after the beginning of the next semester.
W indicates withdrawal from a course through the eighth week of semester classes.
In case of a withdrawal from a course thereafter through the last day of semester classes,
the symbol WP will be entered if the student's work is satisfactory, and WF if unsatisfac-
tory. The grade of WF is counted as an F in calculating the grade-point averages.
For physical education courses and courses in which no academic credit is involved,
student work is evaluated as eitherS (satisfactory) oxU (unsatisfactory).
For each semester hour credit in a course in which a student is graded A, he receives
4quality points:/! - 3.7;/?+, 3.3; 5, 3.0; 5- 2.7; and so on. F carries no credit and no
quality points.
Grading
System and
Quality
Points
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.
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 com-
panies and institutions, teaching, 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 place-
ment.
Records of students' credentials in all areas of student activities are on file.

Attendance
All seniors are required to attend the May baccalaureate and commencement pro-
grams at which their degrees are to be conferred, except for the most compelling reasons
and only upon a written request approved by the registrar and submitted to him at least
two weeks prior to commencement. Faculty approval is required for conferring of the
degree and issuance of the diploma in any case of willful failure to comply with these
regulations.
Students graduating in January (mid-winter) or August (summer) are invited, along
with their families, to attend an informal but meaningful ceremony marking the comple-
tion of their collegiate experience. Participation in these exercises is not required.
Students graduating in January or August are also entitled to participate in the May
Commencement and Baccalaureate if they desire.
Pass/Fail degree students prior to first semester, 1979- 1980
After attaining sophomore standing (28 semester hours credit), a student may elect
to take up to two courses for the semester and one-semester course per summer session
on a P/F basis, but only six of these courses can be counted toward graduation require-
ments.
Any courses not being counted toward the fulfillment of the general requirements
or the major requirements may be optional on a pass/fail basis. Any prerequisite course
taken P/F and successfully completed will satisfy the prerequisite.
Each department may, with the approval of the dean of the faculty, designate certain
courses, including those required for the major, in which the grading will be P/F for all
students. Courses so designated shall not count toward the total number of courses
available P/F to the student.
A course taken P/F will be graded P/H (B^and higher), P (D- through B), and F
(below D-).
A course passed P/F shall be counted toward graduation requirements, but only an
F grade shall be included in computing the grade-point average.
The student, with approval of his adviser, will indicate at registration or through
the eighth week of semester classes the courses that he has elected to take P/F. He may,
with approval of his adviser, remove a course from P/F during the same period.
Instructors may be informed of P/F options selected by students only after semes-
ter grades have been reported. Instructors will submit for each student an A through F
grade which will be converted to P/H, P, or F.

Gen. Requirements 41
OoUC^C "^^^ Honors Program provides an opportunity for superior students to develop and
'^ to challenge their intellectual abilities, to challenge their originality and intellectual
nOflOrS 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 infor-
mation. Others may be chosen by a similar procedure by the Honors Subcommittee
toward the end of the first semester, on the basis of 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 for-
mat: 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 requirements: Biology 101, Chemistry 115, Economics
110/120, English 111/112, English 227/228, Foreign Languages 225/226, History
111/112, History 125/126, Mathematics 170, Philosophy 110, Political Science 111/112,
Psychology 100 and Religion 110.
YTqi^qI^c 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
SttlClieS 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.
Departmen-
tal Honors
42 College 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.
Summer sessions, evening classes on campus, Weekend College, and extension
classes in the University Center at Harrisburg enable teachers, state employees, and
others in active employment to attend college courses, and secure academic degrees. By
a careful selection of courses made in consultation with the appropriate adviser, students
can meet many of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Some courses may be
taken for provisional and permanent teaching certification; others may be taken with the
aim of transferring credit to another institution. 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.
Brochures are published for the summer session, the evening classes, and Weekend
College. For copies or for other information write to the Director of Auxiliary Schools.
Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania 17003.
Summer Session
Regular enrolled students may, by taking summer
session courses, meet the requirements for the bache-
lor's degree in three years.
Campus Evening Classes
Evening classes are offered on the campus, Mon-
day through Thursday, and carry residence credit.
The evening school includes an ENRICH Pro-
gram in Business Administration or Accounting. The
student receives a certificate of achievement upon suc-
cessful completion of the 60 semester-hour program.
Weekend College
The Weekend College offers full degree programs
in accounting, business administration, nursing, so-
cial science— sociology, and social service, with all of
the necessary classes' meeting on Friday nights and
Saturdays in both the academic semesters and the

ogy; Forestry (Cooperative Program); Environmental
Management (Cooperative Program).
Field trips to the College of Marine Studies, Uni-
versity of Delaware, and the llniversity of Georgia Ma-
rine Institute. Sapelo Island. Georgia, are made by stu-
dents involved in the Marine Biology and Ecology
programs. Students in the cooperative forestry and en-
College is not limited totally to on-campus
off-campus learning experiences for which
vironmental management programs visit Duke L'niver-
sity each year. Freshwater pond and forest ecosystems
which are used for ecological study are located on the
campus at Kreiderheim. Wilderness areas which in-
clude the transition zone between southern and north-
ern forests occur within a few miles of campus. Flooded
limestone quarries are available for students who de-
sire more intensive training in aquatic ecology and/or
limnology.

areas have been arranged with local industries and mu-
nicipal governmental agencies. On occasion these
lead directly to future employment.
The faculty of the Department of Biology in-
cludes professors specifically trained in and actively
engaged in research in the areas of marine biology,
ecology, plant taxonomy, animal ta.xonomy, and plant
physiology. All hold doctoral degrees in their area of
specialty and all involve students in their research ef-
forts. The result has been an unusually high degree of
achievement in student research projects, a number of
which have been published in prominent scientific
journals.
It is the experience of the department that stu-
dents well trained in all areas of science who have an
understanding of mathematical methods, chemical
techniques, and biological theory meet with the great-
est success both in finding employment and in their
future graduate work. Therefore a well-balanced pro-
gram of courses in science is stressed with emphasis
on those important for environmental biology, and stu-
dents in these areas are encouraged to obtain a biology
major. However, if a student wishes his/her major to
be in a more specialized area such as Marine Biology,
this can be arranged through the College's Individual-
ized Major Program.

Germantown Metropolitan Semester
Lebanon Valley College sponsors an urban semes-
ter program through the Metropolitan Collegiate Cen-
ter of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This
is a one-semester program of a pre-professiimal intern-
ship and academic seminars relating to the city. The
program is designed especially for students who are
interested in cities and the opportunity of living and
working in a pluralistic urban world; or who want the
practical and personal advantages of concrete work
experience especially for purposes of vocational and
educational decisions.
Internship placements are available in a diverse
range of social service, mental health, law enforce-
ment, medical research, and health-care-delivery agen-
cies. Fifteen academic credits are offered in the pro-
gram. Metropolitan Semester students live in housing
approved by the Center staff. Total costs are compara-
ble to those of a semester on campus.
Adviser: Dr. Lockwood
International Studies Program
Lebanon Valley 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 J
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 \'alley College, must be proficient
in the language spoken in the country in which they
will study, and must be a person who, in the judgment
of the registrar and the faculty, will be worthy repre- ,
sentatives of their own country. Their proposed courses I
of study must be approved by the appropriate depart- I
mental chairman and the registrar.
.Advisers: Dr. Iglesias, Dr. Ford !
Washington Semester Program
students at Lebanon \'alley College are eligible
to participate in the Washington Semester Program
which is offered in cooperation with American Univer-
sity 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 af-
fairs (the Washington Urban Semester), American for-
eign policy formulation and implementation (the For-
eign Policy Semester), and international development
(the International Development Semester). Students
in the first two programs take a seminar, which in-
cludes meetings with public officials, political figures,
private interest group representatives, and other
knowledgeable persons; an individual research project
determined in consultation with instructors at Leba-
non Valley and .American L^niversity; and either an
elective course at the university or an internship pro-
gram 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 Depart-
ment 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.
Adviser: Dr. Geffen
There are a number of academic procedures necessary to insure that all students are
given every opportunity to take courses which contribute to their total educational
program.
Preregistration and Registration
Students are required to preregister and register
for courses on designated days of each semester. These
dates are listed in the official college calendar.
Late Preregistration and Registration
Students preregistering or registering later than
the days and hours specified will be charged a fee of
$10.00. Students desiring to register later than one
week after the opening of the semester will be admit-
ted only by special permission of the registrar.
Change of Registration
Change of registration, including pass/fail elec-
tions, changes of course hours credit, changes from
credit to audit and vice versa, must be approved by
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 the adviser, a student may withdraw from a course
at any time through the last day of semester classes
(see grading policy). A fee of $10.00 is charged for
every change of course made at the student's request
after registration.
Discontinuance of Courses
The college reserves the right to withdraw or dis-
continue any course for which an insufficient number
of students have registered.
Repetition of Courses
A student may repeat as often as desired, for a
higher grade, a previously taken course in which he
received a passing grade, including P or P/H, or a
grade of F or WF, subject to the following provisions:
the course must have been taken in all registrations on
campus and/or in courses staffed by the college at the
University Center at Harrisburg. Semester hours credit
are given only once. The grade received each time
taken and computed in the semester grade-point aver-
age. The higher or highest grade is used to compute
the cumulative grade-point average. Each semester
grade report will show hours credit each time passed,
but the total hours toward degree will be equal only to

the semester hours credit for the course. For a course
previously passed P/F, the grade received in the sub-
sequent registration for regular grade is the "higher
grade." Each grade received remains on the permanent
record card and a notation is made thereon that the
course has been repeated.

College may not carry courses concurrently at any
other institution or in Evening School. Weekend Col-
lege or the L'niversity Center at Harrisburg without
prior consent of his adviser and the registrar.
A student registered at Lebanon Valley College
may not obtain credit for courses taken in other col-
leges, including the University Center at Harrisburg,
during the summer unless such courses have prior ap-
proval of his adviser and the registrar.
Auditing Courses
students may register to audit courses with ap-
proval of 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
grade of AU (audit) will not be entered on the student's
permanent record card if he seldom attended classes.
A change of registration from credit to audit or from
audit to credit must be accomplished by the end of the
fifth week of semester classes.
Arrangement of Scliedules
Each student arranges a semester program of
courses in consultation with, and by approval of, his
faculty adviser. Students already in attendance do this
during preregistration periods. New students accom-
plish this on one of two spring orientation days.
Limit of Hours
To be classified as full-time, a student must take
at least twelve semester hours of work. Si,\teen semes-
ter hours of academic work is the maximum permitted
without approval of the adviser and special permission
of the registrar. Audited courses are counted in deter-
mining the course load, but physical education and
course RSS 1 10 (Reading and Study Skills) are not.
Academic Classification
Students are classified academically at the begin-
ning of each year. Membership in the sophomore, ju-
nior or senior classes is granted to students who have
earned a minimum of 28, 56 or 84 academic semester
hours credit respectively.
Administra-
tive Regula-
tions
The rules of the college are designed to provide for proper regulation of the aca-
demic 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 author-
ity of the college.
46 Admin. Reg.
Class Attendance
Each student is held responsible for knowing and
meeting all requirements for each course, including
regular class attendance. Because of differences in var-
ious disciplines, specific regulations governing class
attendance are set by each department, approved by
the dean of the faculty, and administered by the in-
structor. At the opening of each course the instructor
will clearly inform students of class attendance regu-
lations. \iolations of regulations will make the stu-
dent liable to being dropped from the course with a
failing grade, upon the recommendation of the instruc-
tor and with the approval of the registrar.
In case of a short 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 registrar
iinly if the absence could not be anticipated and the
period of absence will be a week or more. The registrar
informs faculty members of students who will be ab-
sent from classes because of participation in official
functions of the college. Students on academic proba-
tion are permitted only excused absences.
E.xciised absencL>.<; do not afoo/rc .'itudents from
the necessity/ of fulfilling nil course requirements.
Academic Dishonesty
Instances of open and conclusive academic dis-
honesty are dealt with in accordance with the follow-
ing regulations: for the first offense the faculty mem-
ber 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 war-
ranted by the dean of the faculty; for the third offense,
if the second act of dishonesty did not warrant expul-
sion in the opinion of the dean of the faculty, the stu-
dent shall be failed in the course and expelled 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.
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 college
center. 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 en-
titled to one transcript of his college record without
charge. For each copy after the first, a fee of two dollars
is charged.
Regulations Regarding Academic
Probation, Suspension, Dismissal,
Withdrawal
A. Probation
A student can be placed on academic probation
by the dean of the faculty or suspended or dismissed if
his academic standing fails to come up to the grade-
point average shown in the following table;
Suspension or
Probation dismissal
1st semester 1.25
2nd semester 1.50 1.25 cumulative
3rd semester 1.65
4th semester 1.75 1.50 cumulative
5th semester 1.75
6th semester 1.75 1.65 cumulative
7th & 8th semesters .... 1.75 in all courses
A student placed on academic probation is noti-
fied of such status by the dean of the faculty and in-
formed of the college regulations governing proba-
tioners. Students on probation are expected to regulate
their work and their time so as to make a most deter-
mined effort to bring their performance up to the re-
quired standard.
The extent of a probationer student's participa-
tion in extra-curricular activities and in non-credit
courses shall be determined by a consensus of the stu-
dent, the student's parents, and the dean of the faculty
(The dean shall consult with appropriate college per-
sonnel—e.g. adviser, instructors, dean of students,
coaches.) All three of the primary parties in this deci-
sion shall express their views in writing. No student
on academic probation can initiate or continue partic-
ipation 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 semes-
ter, preferably two.
3. A student seeking reinstatement to Lebanon
Valley College must apply in writing to the dean of the
faculty.
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 registrar.
5. A student may be suspended without a prior
period on probation.
6. A student twice suspended for academic rea-
sons shall be considered for readmission, upon appli-
cation, only if the following conditions are fulfilled; (a)
He shall present firm evidence of renewed interest and
motivation, (b) He shall have completed a significant
amount of transferrable academic work at an accred-
ited institution subsequent to his second suspension.
|c) He shall be readmitted on probationary status on
recommendation of the appropriate academic depart-
ment. The student shall achieve at such a level as will
make likely the successful completion of this program
or he will be subject to dismissal.
C. Dismissal
A student dismissed for academic reasons is not
eligible for readmission.
D. Withdrawal from College and Readmission
Official withdrawal from the college is accom-
plished only by the completion of withdrawal forms
obtained in the office of the registrar. This is the sole
responsibility of the student.
Application for readmission will be considered
only if the formal withdrawal procedure has been fol-
lowed at the time of withdrawal.

Courses of Study
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
The first digit of the course number indicates the academic year in which the course is
normally taken. (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 used for courses in private music instruction and independent study courses.
Course numbers for music organizations begin with 6.
A course is offered in the first semester if the third digit is an odd number, in the
second semester if it is an even number. A course with 0 as a third digit is a one-semester
course offered in either or 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.
Not all courses are offered each year. Some courses are offered on demand only.
Students should consult registration schedules for each semester's course offerings.
PRE-REQUISITES
Some courses require pre-requisites which are designated in italics at the end of the
course description.
COURSE CREDIT
The number otcredits that a specific course carries is also indicated in italics at the
end of the course description. Some courses carry variable credit. Some courses carry no
credit. Some courses require both classroom and laboratory work. Some courses may be
taken more than once for credit (i.e., most independent study courses, some special
topics courses, and others) and are so indicated in italics (i.e., 1-3 credits per semester.
Maximum of 9). Students should consult registration schedules for hour requirements.

sional schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, osteopathic medicine, or podiatry; or
to teach chemistry.
The chemistry courses are designed to present the interaction of theoretical and
experimental chemistry. In all laboratory courses, special emphasis is given to the use of
instrumentation including extensive instruction in computer programming and interfac-
ing. A required independent study course for senior chemistry majors is designed for the
investigation of basic or applied research problems involving both library research and
laboratory work. Opportunities are available for all students to do additional laboratory
work in conjunction with their chemistry courses.
During their college careers, students have many opportunities to work independently.
Some students participate in research programs funded by such organizations as the
Petroleum Research Fund or Research Corporation. These students often become co-
authors on research papers published in the chemical journals in addition to presenting
papers at student research conferences.
There are also opportunities for some students to gain practical work experience in
local industries such as Alcoa and Michter Distilleries. Such experience during college
prepares students for entering industry and government service upon graduation. Recent
graduates have accepted positions with such industries as General Electric, American
Cyanamid, Borg-Warner, and Sterling Drugs.
Our graduates have also enrolled in such institutions as Temple University Medical
School, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, the School of
Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Pennsylvania Dental School,
Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, the Medical College of Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia
College of Podiatry.
Graduate programs in which recent chemistry graduates have enrolled include Ari-
zona State University (physical chemistry), Drexel University (inorganic chemistry),
Indiana University at Bloomington (organic), Lehigh University, Michigan State Univer-
sity, Ohio State University and University of Florida (biochemistry). Northwestern Uni-
versity (business administration, physical chemistry), Pennsylvania State University (en-
vironmental engineering), Purdue University (analytical chemistry). University of
California at I3erkeley (physical chemistry). University of California at Los Angeles
(computer science), University of Maryland (environmental chemistry). University of
Pennsylvania (physical chemistry and biochemistry), University of Pittsburgh (biochem-
istry and forensic chemistry), and the University of Wisconsin (theoretical mathematics).

In keeping with the aim of the college, the Department of Economics and Business
Administration's program of study is designed to provide majors in accounting, business
administration, and economics with a broad liberal education, so that graduates of the
department will play a more active role in the changing world of ideas and actions,
coupled with a sound and integrated knowledge of the essential principles and problems
of accounting, business administration and economics.
Regardless of major, a set of core courses is required for all, so that everyone will have
a common framework of reference as well as common tools of analysis to pursue special
interests within their particular major. The department offers three majors: accounting— a
tool for summarizing and analyzing business performance and making practical man-
agement decisions; business administration— a study to prepare for making manage-
ment decisions and to gain an understanding of contemporary business practices; and
economics— a theoretical and empirical study of the economic well-being of mankind
and society in terms of stable growth in real income, full employment, and optimum
allocation of resources.
Classroom experience is supplemented by various major-related activities including
an annual field trip for departmental upperclassmen to New York and Washington finan-
cial and business centers; internships for qualified upperclassmen in local business and
industry; and special projects involving both primary and secondary research methods as
well as computer assisted instruction.
Majors in accounting can look forward to professions in the areas of auditing, taxes,
government, banking, financial analysis, corporate accounting, not-for-profit accounting,
teaching, consulting, and systems analysis.
Majors in business administration may seek employment in consulting, retailing,
productive management, government, wholesale and distribution, advertising, transpor-
tation, and teaching.
Majors in economics anticipate careers in government, banking, public utilities,
teaching, and industry.
A number of graduates of all three majors attend graduate and professional schools,
and work in a variety of businesses and industry including Aetna Life Insurance, DuPont,
Reliance Insurance, and AMP, Inc. Other students work for a number of small accounting
firms, banks, family-owned businesses or are self-employed.
Degree: B.S. degree with a major in accounting or business administration or eco-
nomics.

60 Education
Students who may be concerned about ttie oversupply of elementary school teachers
should be aware that there is always a demand for well-trained and conscientious teach-
ers. The high school graduate who enjoys working wth children should be encouraged to
participate in Lebanon Valley Colleges teacher training program which includes train-
ing in all phases of teaching, and sufficient individualized attention to each student fori
realizing his full potential. The elementary education program is field-centered. Students "
have opportunities both voluntarily and required to work with children in schools
throughout their college years. J
As a freshman, a student will spend two hours a week observing and assisting in an
elementary school. As a sophomore, a student gives two volunteer hours a week in
assistance in an elementary classroom. In a student s junior year, one hour per week is
spent tutoring a child or a small group of children in reading, as partial requirements for
the teaching of reading course. Two volunteer hours per week of the junior year are spent
in assignment as a student aid. Also during the junior year and during the summer
following the junior year, a student may qualify for an independent study internship with
a local Mental Health— Mental Retardation center. During the senior year, the first
semester is spent in full-time student teaching. The second semester provides opportu-
nities to work with nursery school children and with classes for exceptional children.
In the student teaching semester, the careful selection of the cooperating teacher is
crucial. Every attempt is made to match the student teacher with a cooperating teacher
who is compatible in personality, philosophy, and goals of education. The teacher edu-
cation program emphasizes the developmental process of the whole student in prepara-
tion for teaching the whole child.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
The departmental honors program in elementary educaton permits the capable stu-
dent 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 departmental
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 faculty upon recommendation by the department staff.
Degree: B.S. degree with a major in elementary education.

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 comprehension, reading
and writing. The second is to provide a direct understanding and appreciation of the
literature, civilization and cultural heritage of the people whose language is studied.
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 a variety of challenging
fields: teaching, diplomatic and government service, foreign trade, business and industry,
and social service. 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.
Lebanon Valley College encourages language majors to spend some time studying in
the country of their language. 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 6 to 12 months of study in France, Germany and
Austria, or Spain.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Students who are majoring in foreign languages may become candidates for depart-
mental 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 faculty, ordinarily
no later then the end of the first semester of their junior year.
Honors work will involve the selection of a topic for investigation under the guidance
of the departmental 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 faculty, and any other faculty members who may be invited to participate,
and, finally, an oral examination in the language of major concentration. If these require-
ments are satisfied, the student will be graduated with honors in the major language.
Degree: For the student who majors in foreign languages, French, German or Spanish,
the B.A. degree is offered.
Major: A student may elect to major in one foreign language or in Foreign Languages.
A major in one language requires Foreign Languages 252 and 24 hours above the

Lebanon Valley College offers pre-professional training in the medical (medicine,
osteopathy, optometry, podiatry, pharmacy, chiropractic, and dentistry) and veterinary
fields. Students interested in one of these careers usually follow a science curriculum
with a major in biochemistry, biology or chemistry. At Lebanon Valley College we feel
that a strong background in the basic natural sciences is requisite for careers in the
health professions.
In addition to the basic natural sciences suited to advanced professional study, the
student who is interested in veterinary medicine may participate in a cooperative pro-
gram between the college and local veterinarians, specializing in both small and large
animal medicine. Students not only receive credit for the work, but also gain valuable
experience in the field.
A health professions committee coordinates the various plans of study at the college
in addition to offering advice and assistance to those persons interested in health profes-
sions careers.
For those students interested in podiatry, Lebanon Valley College and the Pennsyl-
vania College of Pediatric Medicine have established an accelerated podiatric medicine
education curriculum consisting of a minimum of ninety undergraduate semester hours
and four years of podiatric medical education. Following three years of study at Lebanon
Valley College a student may be recommended for further study at the Pennsylvania
College of Podiatric Medicine. Lebanon Valley College than awards the baccalaureate
degree, with a major in biochemistry, biology or chemistry, to those students who
complete successfully one year of basic science education at the Pennsylvania College of
Podiatric Medicine.
Majors in biology and chemistry with an interest in health professions have been
admitted to some of the nations finest schools including Johns Hopkins University
Medical School, The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Pittsburgh, Jefferson

74 Humanities
Students at Lebanon Valley College may major in humanities, taking courses from a
variety of departments, and combining them in such a way as to create a major suited to
a specific individual's needs. The major examines mankinds response to his speculative
and creative urges, and explores human values through literature, art, music and philos-
ophy.
This interdisciplinary approach allows the student to explore the humanities in more
breadth than do the traditional majors and at the same time allows for a degree of
concentration in one specific area of the humanities.
The program is concerned with the full intellectual development of the student as
well as with vocational preparation, such as for graduate, theological, and law schools,
and for careers in business and government.
Degree: B.A. degree with a major in humanities.
Major: A core set of courses is required including Art 110, Art 201 or 203; English
227/228; Foreign Language 115, 116 (French, German or Spanish); Music 100; Philos-
ophy 110, 228; and History 111/1 12, for a total of 33 hours, and concentration in one of
the following areas:
English: English 221, 222, 322, 337, for a total of 12 hours.
Foreign Language: 12 additional hours in the same language above the 116 level.
Philosophy: Philosophy 120; and 323 or 333, and any other two courses in philosophy
for a total of 12 hours.
Majors in philosophy, psychology and English and other interested students find the
interdisciplinary courses at Lebanon Valley College to be highly valuable in adding extra
dimensions to coursework within a particular major. Courses are taught by several
members of the different departments represented by the interdisciplinary coursework.
Courses in Interdisciplinary Subjects
130. Philosophy in Literature. A detailed critical
examination of various literary works having philo-
sophical content. Exact topics and works to be consid-
ered will vary from year to year. Prerequisite: Philos-
ophy 110 or consent of the instructors. 3 credits.
332. Seminar in Psychology and Literature. A
consideration of major psychological theories for use
in literary interpretaion. Prerequisite: a major in psy-
chology or English, junior or senior standing and/or
permission of the staff 3 credits.
334. Seminar in Philosophy and Psychology. A
detailed consideration of matters of common interest
to philosophy and psychology taught by members of
both departments. Topics will vary from year to year.
Prerequisite: consent of the instructors. 3 credits.
Interdisci-
plinary
Courses
Occasionally a student finds that his career goals cannot be met by a traditional major
at the college. For this student an individualized major may be a logical choice. Working
with two advisors a student develops a plan of study including a rationale for the specific
major, a schedule for taking existing college courses which relate to the individualized
major, as well as describing those courses which the student needs to pursue on an
independent study basis. The plan of study must also include those courses to fulfill the
general requirements of the college. The curriculum is then submitted to the dean of the
faculty for approval.
An example of an individualized major might include international studies. This
program would allow a student to study, in depth, such areas as the language, history,
art, politics and geography of a specific country.
Another example of an individuahzed major could be studies in church service, inte-
grating coursework from the departments of sociology, religion and psychology.
When we say that the major is individualized we mean just that— a course of study,
designed by you and your advisers, to meet your specific educational and vocational
needs.
Degrees: B.A. or B.S. degree (depending upon concentration) with an individualized
major.
Requirements: Those courses specified within the approved individualized major
plus those courses to meet the general requirements of the college.

76 Math.Sci.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers one of the most modern, versatile,
and highly respected undergraduate programs in the country. Since 1974, 95 percent of
the graduates from the department have found attractive mathematical employment, or
continued in graduate school. Since 1970, the number of majors in the department has
more than doubled, while nationwide the comparable number is less than one-third of
what it was in 1970.
The department offers a wide range of courses which support major programs in
Actuarial Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Operations Research. The
major in Mathematics can be tailored to prepare for Graduate School, Secondary School
Teaching, Industrial Mathematics, or to dove-tail with a second major in another depart-
ment. A Special Topics course allows coverage of material specifically requested by
interested students. In Independent Study, outstanding students conduct further study
and research in areas for which they show particular talent and interest. An Internship
Program provides a further broadening of the students' experience.
In the last five years, we have placed systems analysts with PP&L, AT&T Long Lines,
Air Products, Western Electric, Hershey Foods, EDS, the State of Delaware; applied
mathematicians with the US Treasury Department, American Bank and Trust Co.,
Smidth Industries; teachers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland; computer sci-
entists with Blue Shield, and a school district. Two of our graduates have started their
own computer software consulting firm. Finally, our graduates received graduate assis-
tantships in Mathematics, Computer Science, or Operations Research from North Caro-
lina State, Wisconsin, Cornell, Carnegie-Mellon, Lehigh, Washington State, and Dela-
ware Universities. In each of 1977 and 1978 one of our graduates held a Fulbright
Scholarship for study overseas.
The major in ACTUARIAL SCIENCE is rather unique. Lebanon Valley College is the
only four-year college east of the Mississippi which offers courses specifically designed
to prepare for the first four examinations of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty
Actuarial Society.
In Actuarial Science the demand for our graduates is, and will continue to be, much
larger than the supply. During the last five years, we have placed graduates with Provident
Mutual, Prudential, Reliance, State Mutual, Liberty Mutual, GEICO, Allstate, Crum &
Forster, and Prupac insurance companies, and with the consulting firms of Conrad M.
Siegel, and Alexander & Alexander. A special option recognizes the need for mathemat-
ically trained persons in forest management: after three years at Lebanon Valley College
and two years at Duke University, a student can receive the B.S. in Actuarial Science
from LVC, and the M.S. in Forestry from Duke University.
The major in COMPUTER SCIENCE has a strong scientific orientation, conforming
with the recommendations of the Association for Computing Machinery. Required
courses in Physics will acquaint the student with the hardware aspects of computers, and
an internship in a business computer operation will expose him/her to the "real world"
of computer applications. The curriculum includes courses in English, Psychology, and
Philosophy in order to expand the student's view of the societal and ethical implications
of computer technology.
Lebanon Valley College is the only four-year college in the East to offer a major in
OPERATIONS RESEARCH with a strong foundation in Mattiematics. In scope and
importance to society this field may be the fastest growing of the applied mathematical
sciences.
A rigorous study of MATHEMATICS is the common foundation of all four major
programs in the department. The core courses required of all students in the department
provide the first phase of this effort. This core structure allows each student complete
flexibility in the choice of one of the four majors, usually by the end of the second year of
study. A strong effort is made not to differentiate between the students in the department
by majors. Thus, talented students of any major are encouraged to be a member of the
departmental Putnam Examination team which participates annually in this national
mathematics competition. Similarly, the Mathematics Club is open to any interested
student. This club sponsors a variety of activities including an annual mathematics
competition for area high school students.
Degrees: B.S. with a major in mathematics. B.S. with a major in actuarial science.
B.S. with a major in computer science. B.S. with a major in operations research.

]tf |l^|p Students who major in any of the three areas in the Music Department (music perfor-
mance, sacred music, music education) quickly reahze the aims of the program to be the
preparation of performers, church musicians and teachers; the teaching of music histor-
Facuity: ically and aesthetically as an element of liberal culture; the offering of courses that give
a thorough and practical understanding of theoretical subjects.
Mrs.Bowers (Adj') Each music student regardless of his major takes a required core of both theory and
Mr. Burrichter history courses. Each individual major, then, augments the basic core requirements to
Mr. Chandler (Adj.) xmei the needs of performers, teachers, and church musicians.
Mr. Dunn (Adj.) Attendance at a portion of faculty and student recitals is compulsory. All majors in
Mrs. Engiebrighi the department are required to take private instruction on campus in their principal
'^M^G'^'r"ei performance medium. Participation in music organizations may be required of all ma-
br. Getz jors. One-half hour of private instruction is included in the basic tuition.
Mrs. Gingrich (Adj.) The MUSIC PERFORMANCE major is designed for those students desiring a liberal
Mrs"^ Knlslev (tdj 1 ^^^^ context in their preparation for a career in applied music.
Dr. Lau (Chmnj All majors are required to take an hour lesson per week in their principal performance
Mr. Meashey (Adj.) medium and are expected to perform a half recital in the junior year, and a full recital in
Mr.ReedTAdj" the Senior year.
Dr. Richardson All majors outside of the keyboard area are required to study piano (private or class)
Mr. Smith until the minimum requirements have been met.
Mrs. stambachTAdj^ ^^^^ SACRED MUSIC major prepares students for full-time work as directors of
Mr. strohman (Adj.) church music, as ministers of music, or as college teachers. The program is open to those
Dr. Sweigart individuals whose interest falls mainly within the areas of voice or organ.
All majors are expected to acquire sufficient skill to assume responsibilities as a
qualified parish church musician.
Majors whose principal performance medium is organ are expected to study voice for
at least two years, one of which may be class experience.
Majors whose principal performance medium is voice, upon admission to the program,
are expected to show sufficient keyboard proficiency so that after two additional years of
piano study (normally by the end of the sophomore year) they may benefit from a year of
organ study.
The MUSIC EDUCATION major, approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Edu-
cation and the National Association of Schools of Music, is designed for the preparation
of teachers of public school music. Additional courses are determined by the student's
selection oi a track program. The track programs may be of a general nature or may be a
concentration in either the instrumental or the keyboard/vocal fields. In all cases the
student participates in student teaching in local elementary and secondary schools.
The music education curriculum requires voice instruction (class or private) for a
minimum of one year and piano instruction (class or private) for a minimum of two years.
A competency jury must be passed successfully in each area.

Lebanon Valley College has developed a cooperative program in Nuclear Medicine
Technology with the University of Virginia Medical Center. The student spends three
years at Lebanon Valley College, taking a minimum of 92 semester hours. During the
junior year, application is made to the University of Virginia Medical Centers School of
Nuclear Medicine Technology, and if accepted into their program, the student spends
the fourth year at that institution. After successfully completing this course of study the
degree of Bachelor of Science, with a major in nuclear medicine technology, is awarded
by Lebanon Valley College.
Requirements: Biology 111,112, 201, 202, 452 (Special Topics in Human Anatomy);
Chemistry 111, 112, 113, 114, 213, 214; Physics 103, 104 or 111, 112; Mathematics 102,
101 or 161, 166; Computer Programming 170; courses to meet the general requirements
(to include one course in psychology and one course in sociology) and an overall mini-
mum of 92 hours of work at LVC. The following courses are strongly recommended:

The nursing program at Lebanon Valley College offers students the opportunity to
obtain a liberal arts education in connection with an accredited hospital school of
nursing of their choice. Each student spends two years at Lebanon Valley College and a
minimum of two years at an accredited hospital school of nursing from which credits are
accepted and counted toward graduation. Either phase of the program may be taken
prior to the other.
Although the college is not affiliated with the National League of Nurses, we do not
find that this is a drawback to our nursing program. Each year Lebanon Valley College
attracts numerous nursing students to a program which has proven to be highly flexible.
Following the completion of their two years of work at LVC, nursing students may
transfer to a hospital nursing school of their choice. Students at schools with a nursing
school affiliation, on the other hand, must transfer to the hospital nursing school affi-
liated with their undergraduate institution. Also, under Lebanon Valley's program, tui-
tion is paid to LVC only for the two years of academic training on our campus. The
tuition, then, for clinical training is paid to the hospital at the lower hospital tuition
rate.
Each year Lebanon Valley s nursing majors transfer to hospitals of their choice includ-
ing such schools as Columbia University School of Nursing, Reading General Hospital,
Sacred Heart Hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, Muhlenberg Hospital (NJ), Geisin-
ger Medical Center, Chester County School of Nursing, Allentown General Hospital,
Lankenau, and the Einstein Hospital School of Nursing, Philadelphia.
Graduates of the LVC nursing program are employed in a variety of positions including
positions on nursing staffs of numerous hospitals, as well as continuing their educations
in their professional areas.
Degree: B.S. degree with a major in nursing.
Major: A year's study of a natural science (from among Biology 101/102, or 1 1 1/112;
Biology 451/452; courses to meet the general requirements and an overall minimum of
64 hours of work on the LVC campus.

Mr. Thompson (Chrnn.)
The study of philosophy at Lebanon Valley College directly involves the student in
the process of sharpening critical and analytical abilities. This is accomplished by
relatively small classes which are taught by a combination of the lecture and the discus-
sion method. In advanced courses the discussion method is predominant. In all classes
heavy emphasis is placed upon the writing of critical and analytic papers dealing with
various aspects of philosophical thought as it pertains, for example, to the questions and
issues of knowledge, human values and conduct, history, politics, religion, science,
society, and the nature of human beings. Lebanon Valley College offers such study since
it is a vitally important part of liberal learning.
Extensive studies in philosophy, whether done by means of a full major specialization,
or through the taking of a number of courses, provides an excellent background and
preparation for post-graduate activities such as law school and legal studies, business,
theological and seminary training. Undergraduate study in philosophy is also an appro-
priate field of intellectual activity for the student who is not preparing for any specific
vocation or profession and who desires a broad undergraduate exposure to humanistic
learning.
Students, even those planning for specialized occupation following their graduation
with a major in philosophy, are encouraged to pursue a double major with another
discipline such as English literature, a foreign language, religion, history, or business. A
double major is easily arranged and will aid in insuring a broader program of study in
liberal learning.
INDEPENDENT STUDY AND DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Students who wish to do independent work in philosophy beyond the scope of courses
listed in the college catalog may elect, with departmental approval, to take Independent
Study, Philosophy 500, which is conducted in a tutorial fashion.
A junior or senior student may, with departmental permission, undertake to do indi-
vidual study for honors by enrollment in Philosophy 500, Independent Study. This
involves the writing and oral defense of a detailed research project or critical study on an
approved topic. This program is open ordinarily only to departmental majors who have
done well in their course work and are aiming at advanced work in philosophy; it is not,
however, limited to such students. The student who successfully meets the requirements
of the program shall be recommended to the dean of the faculty for graduation with
departmental honors.
Degree: B.A. degree with a major in philosophy.
Major: Philosophy 120 plus an additional 21 hours of philosphy courses for a total of
24 hours.

Physical Education Department's aim to encourage attitudes and habits of good total
health, to develop the student's physical capacities, and to provide activities which will
enrich leisure throughout one's life.
In addition to the family physician's report, it is strongly recommended that all enter-
ing students also undergo a thorough visual examination.
Students are required to wear the regulation gymnasium outfit, which may be pur-
chased at the college store.

90 Physics
The Department of Physics at Lebanon Valley College attempts to develop in the
student an increased understanding of the basic laws of nature as they relate to our
physical environment, and to indicate the possible extent, as well as the limitations, of
our knowledge of the physical world.
In this age of science and technology when members of a free society must make
decisions on such issues as the size of a national space program, the rate of development
of nuclear energy, and the control of environmental pollution, physics has an important
contribution to make toward the liberal education of people involved in the decision-
making process.
The Department of Physics strives to be of service to as many students as possible in
a variety of curriculum. For those who will not pursue a science major the department
offers a course dealing with the impact of physics on society. For those with a strong
interest in music the department offers a course in the physics of music.
Since physics, as the basic natural science dealing with forces, motion, energy, heat,
sound, light, electromagnetism, electronics, atomic structure, and the structure and
interactions of all matter, underlies work in all other natural sciences as well as the areas
of applied science including engineering, the department offers comprehensive introduc-
tory courses for students majoring in any of the natural sciences.
For those students who plan careers in the field of physics, or in engineering, or in any
area in which several natural sciences overlap (astrophysics, biophysics, geophysics, and
computer science), the department offers a three or four year sequence of courses to
prepare for future employment or for further study in a chosen field.
Laboratory work is an integral part of all physics courses, and is designed to acquaint
the student with the experimental techniques and the measuring instruments appropri-
ate to the various areas of investigation.
To the graduate with a degree in physics, positions are available in research and
development in governmental laboratories, such as the National Bureau of Standards,
Goddard Space Center, Naval Research Laboratory, and also in industrial laboratories.
Those students who have had a semester of professional preparation in teaching will find
jobs available in the teaching of physics and mathematics in secondary schools. A
background in physics may also prepare a student for study at the graduate level not only
in physics, but also in various fields of engineering, astronomy and astrophysics, geology
and geophysics, meterology, biophysics, computer science and others.
Recent LVC graduates in physics hold such varied positions as technical research
assistant at Hershey Medical Center, electrical engineer at the Naval Air Research
Center, research physicist with Exxon Corporation, technical writer and abstracter at
the Research Laboratory of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, research physicist at the
Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, and post-doctoral fellow in cryogenic physics, the
University of Pennsylvania. Graduate schools represented include the University of Penn-
sylvania and the University of Texas.
INDEPENDENT STUDY AND DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Independent Study, Physics 500, is available to all physics majors with the approval of
the departmental chairman. Experimental facilities are available in the department for
independent investigations in X-ray diffraction, neutron reactions, radioactivity, Moss-
bauer effect, gamma ray spectroscopy, and wave analysis. Theoretical problems may be
chosen from classical physics, statistical mechanics, or quantum mechanics.
Physics majors who have demonstrated high academic ability may, with the permis-
sion of the departmental chairman and the dean of the faculty, participate in the depart-
mental honors program in physics. Application for admission to this program should be
made before the end of the junior year. A student admitted to the program enrolls in
Physics 500 and works on an experimental or theoretical research project, normally for
a period of a year, with departmental supervision. Upon the satisfactory completion of
an approved project and the formal presentation of a research paper before an examining
committee, the student will be recommended to the dean of the faculty for graduation
with departmental honors.

92 Psychology
For many students courses in psychology are primarily a contribution to their general
education, a background for more meaningful living. For others a major in psychology is
pre-professional, leading to graduate study in psychology. Our alumni have done well in
graduate programs in experimental, clinical, educational, and school psychology. Some
majors have entered other graduate programs, including social work, medicine, business
administration, divinity and education. Many who have not gone to graduate school hold
responsible positions in hospitals, community agencies, government offices, and indus-
try.
Recently a number of students have chosen a double major, with psychology and either
education, sociology, business administration, or a foreign language. A double major in
psychology and education provides certification to teach in elementary school, as well
as preparation for graduate work.
In addition to course work there is a program of directed studies, developed individ-
ually, to introduce the student to research, or to permit pursuing particular academic
interests by reading, by projects in the laboratory, or by supervised work in a school or
agency There is also an internship program which may include off-campus, full-time
work during the summer and part-time work during the academic year. There are semes-
ter-programs in Philadelphia and abroad.
INDEPENDENT STUDY AND DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
For the capable student who wishes to take part in selecting and planning his own
investigation within particular areas of psychology, a program of independent study and
research for credit may replace courses. The student is assisted by a member of the
faculty with whom he has individual conferences. The student's investigation is desig-
nated as Independent Study (Psychology 500), whether or not he is a candidate for
departmental honors.
In order to begin a program of individual study for departmental honors, a psychology
major is required to: (1) have an over-all grade-point average of 2.5; (2) have an average of
3.0 in psychology courses; (3) show consistently high interest and initiative; and (4)
obtain the approval of the departmental staff and the dean of the faculty.
Graduation with honors in psychology will depend on the quality of independent
study, the written and oral reports, and the maintenance of the grade-point averages
specified for admission to the study program.
Degree: B.A. degree with a major in psychology.
Major: Psychology 100, 120, 216, 236, 343 and 443; one of the following: 235, 335,
444; and two of the following: 321, 332, 346, and 431 — for a minimum of 27 hours.

The entire program of the Religion Department at Lebanon Valley College is designed
to give students insight into the meaning of man's religious experience, and such an
investigation is particularly appropriate in light of the colleges affirmation of its ties
with the Christian heritage which fostered the founding of the college in 1886. Course-
work in the department introduces the student to the various historical and contempo-
rary expressions of Christian heritage as well as those which acquaint him with the
diverse religious traditions of mankind. As pre-professional preparation, courses are
provided for those who are looking toward graduate studies in the humanities, social
sciences, world cultures, the Christian ministry, world missions, and other church voca-
tions, as well as the academic teaching of religion.
Many of the courses in the Religion Department are of general interest to the whole
campus community, and specific courses are of particular interest to such curriculums as
philosophy, sociology and sacred music.
Coursework is supplemented by a number of extra-curricular and off campus oppor-
tunities including field trips to museums including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and
the University of Pennsylvania museum (World Religions), and a visit to the nationally
historic Ephrata Cloister in nearby Lancaster County (Religion in America).
Majors in the department hold monthly meetings planned around topics of their own

choosing for a kind of pre-professional growth and enrichment. Discussion subjects
include examination of personal faith and commitment as well as anticipated situations
in future work following graduation.
While field experience in religion is not discouraged (some religion majors serve as
youth ministers, supply pastors, and Sunday school teachers) the department primarily
encourages a solid academic background prior to continued education at a theological
school or seminary.
Although the college is related to the United Methodist Church and its forerunner the
Evangelical United Brethren Church, departmental majors come from a variety of reli-
gious backgrounds as does the whole campus community. Likewise, graduates of the
department have been able to attend virtually any seminary or graduate school of their
choice including schools such as Duke University, Princeton, Boston University, United
Theological Seminary and Wesley Theological School.

in group relationships within that structure. This interdisciplinary program provides an
opportunity for the student to explore the basic concepts of a broad spectrum of social
science disciplines— economics, history, political science, and sociology— and then to
do more concentrated work in his choice of one of these subject areas.
The program also offers basic preparation for graduate, theological, and law schools,
and for careers in business, government, social work, and teaching.

Students who major in sociology at Lebanon Valley College do so to benefit from a
richer understanding of contemporary issues, and are encouraged to develop a strong
sense of personal selfhood and identity. The primary motivation for majoring in social
service is that ours is a service-oriented society, and such a major increases the job
competitiveness for a student who is interested in social work, social welfare, or in a
related field.
Students majoring in social service may elect to concentrate their studies in one of
four areas: criminal justice— dealing with incarceration and its alternatives, family inter-
vention—counselling with families as a unit, gerontology— working with the aging, and
thanatology— focusing on care for the terminally ill.
In addition to providing the necessary coursework needed for majors in sociology and
social service, the department has developed an extensive network of community service
agency positions where students may participate in internships to gain valuable pre-
professional training. Agencies represented in internship programs include: Lebanon
County Workshop, RSVP, Child Welfare, area nursing homes, and state government
agencies in Harrisburg.
Recent graduates in the department have attended graduate school at the University
of California-Berkeley, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Stanford, Northwestern, Maryland, the Col-
lege of William and Mary, and the University of York (United Kingdom). Graduates have
assumed positions in the Lehigh Valley Head Start program, the Lancaster Community
Action Program, Urbana College, Montours State Hospital, the Children's Care Center
in Harrisburg, the Camden County (N.J.) Welfare Board, and the Penn State Extension
Service.

service.
