THIS  IS  LYCOMING 


Purpose  and  Objectives 


Lycoming  College  devotes  itself  to  the  vocation  of  humanity:  the  vocation 
that  enables  man  to  become  aware  of  what  it  means  to  love  truth,  goodness 
and  beauty,  by 

fostering  free  inquiry  and  learning  in  a  curricular  experience  that  pro- 
vides basic  knowledge  of  the  cultural,  social  and  natural  world, 

developing  searching,  critical,  and  creative  attitudes  of  mind  by  encour- 
aging cultural  explorations  essential  to  a  free  society, 

afiBrming  the  Christian  faith  as  a  valid  interpretation  of  the  vocation  of 
humanity, 

developing  an  appreciation  for  the  values  of  social,  mental  and  physical 
well-being,  and 

preparing  students  for  professional  and  vocational  opportunities  that 
may  be  pursued  upon  a  more  humanitarian  level  because  of  founda- 
tions laid  by  a  strong  liberal  education. 

"Vocation  of  humanity"  suggests  that  the  primary  concern  of  the  college 
is  human  life  and  living.  We  find  this  concern  manifesting  itself,  in  a  Chris- 
tian setting,  as  an  afiBrmation  of  the  fundamental  dignity  and  worth  of  all 
human  beings.  The  entire  program  of  the  college  is  directed  toward  fulfill- 
ment of  objectives  that  seek  to  fit  young  men  and  women  for  "the  living  of 
these  days,"  in  a  global  society  in  which  the  priceless  commodity  is  human 
life.  Lycoming  College  redefined  its  educational  mission  recently  by  the  for- 
mulation of  the  specific  objectives  above.  It  now  faces  the  decade  ahead 
with  the  confidence  that  man's  best  chance  for  survival  lies  in  wisdom, 
knowledge,  and  understanding  bom  of  Hberal  education. 


Local( 


Lycoming  College  is  situated  upon  a  slight  prominence  in  downtown 
Williamsport,  Pennsylvania,  overlooking  the  beautiful  West  Branch  Valley 
of  the  Susquehanna  River.  Greater  Williamsport  has  a  population  of  nearly 
seventy-five  thousand.  Residents  consider  the  college  one  of  Williamsport's 
finest  assets. 

Wilhamsport  was  once  the  center  of  the  lumbering  industry  of  the  north- 
eastern United  States  and,  while  vestiges  of  that  enterprise  remain,  today  the 
city  is  expanding  with  many  widely  diversified  industries. 

The  area  around  Wilhamsport  is  known  for  its  lovely  mountain  scenery 
and  fine  outdoor  recreational  facilities.  Yearly  thousands  are  attracted  to 
the  woods  and  crystal-clear  streams  where  hunting  and  fishing  are  unsur- 
passed. The  city  has  two  large  parks,  a  municipal  golf  course,  tennis  courts 
and  numerous  playgrounds.  Public  education  is  represented  by  excellent 
schools  both  in  the  city  and  in  the  surrounding  townships  and  boroughs. 
Cultural  opportunities  are  provided  by  Lycoming  College,  the  Civic  Choir, 
the  Community  Arts  Festival  and  the  Community  Concert  Association. 
Eighty-eight  churches,  representing  a  number  of  denominations,  minister  to 
the  spiritual  needs  of  the  community. 

Within  America's  industrial  Northeast,  Williamsport  is  centrally  located. 
It  is  approximately  two  hundred  miles  from  the  major  urban  centers  of  the 
region:  Washington,  Baltimore,  Philadelphia,  New  York,  Syracuse,  Roch- 
ester, Buffalo  and  Pittsburgh.  The  city  is  easily  accessible  by  airline,  train, 
bus  and  automobile.  Allegheny  Airlines  provides  daily  flights  with  direct 
passenger  service  to  virtually  all  Pennsylvania  cities  as  well  as  to  New  York, 
Buffalo,  Boston,  Cleveland,  Detroit,  Hartford,  Newport  News,  and  Wash- 
ington. The  Penn  Central  Railroad  offers  daily  passenger  service  to  Buffalo, 
Harrisburg,  and  Washington  with  connections  at  Harrisburg  to  all  major 
cities.  Greyhound  Bus  Lines  and  Edwards  Lakes  to  Sea  System  operate  daily 
schedules  to  all  points.  U.S.  Highways  15  and  220  are  routed  through  the 
Williamsport  area  as  are  State  Highways  87,  118,  147,  and  287.  The  new 
Interstate  Highway  80  ( the  Keystone  Shortway )  crosses  the  state  just  a  few 
miles  south  of  Wilhamsport.

istory 


While  the  specific  objectives  of  the  college  have  varied  somewhat  with 
the  changing  years,  its  purpose  of  providing  educational  opportunities  for 
young  men  and  women  has  remained  consistent  throughout  the  157  years 
of  its  history. 

Founded  in  1812  as  Williamsport  Academy,  it  is  the  oldest  educational 
institution  in  the  city  of  Williamsport.  At  first,  the  Academy  served  only 
the  young  through  what  are  now  recognized  as  the  elementary  grades.  With 


■■*■        ^  T

the  advent  of  public  schools  in  the  city,  the  Academy  expanded  its  curricu- 
lar  offerings  to  include  high  school  and  college  preparatory  work. 

In  1848,  under  the  patronage  of  The  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  the 
Academy  became  Wilhamsport  Dickinson  Seminary.  The  Seminary  con- 
tinued as  a  private  boarding  school  until  1929  when  once  again  its  offerings 
were  expanded,  this  time  to  include  two  years  of  college  work.  This  expan- 
sion resulted  in  a  change  of  the  institution's  name  to  Williamsport  Dickinson 
Junior  College.  During  its  years  as  a  junior  college  under  President  John 
W.  Long,  the  institution  forged  a  strong  academic  reputation,  strengthened 
its  faculty  and  expanded  its  physical  plant. 

Increasing  national  demands  for  higher  education  following  World  War 
II  prompted  another  significant  step  in  the  growth  of  the  institution.  In 
1948,  the  junior  college  became  Lycoming,  a  four-year  degree-granting 
college  of  hberal  arts  and  sciences.  It  is  approved  to  grant  baccalaureate 
degrees  by  the  Pennsylvania  State  Department  of  Education.  It  is 
accredited  by  the  Middle  States  Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary 
Schools  and  the  University  Senate  of  The  United  Methodist  Church.  It  is  a 
member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Association  of  Colleges  and  Universities,  the 
National  Association  of  Schools  and  Colleges  of  The  United  Methodist 
Church,  the  Association  of  American  Colleges,  and  the  National  Commission 
on  Accrediting. 

The  name  Lycoming  is  derived  from  an  Indian  word  "lacomic"  meaning 
"Great  Stream."  It  is  a  name  that  has  been  common  to  north  central  Penn- 
sylvania since  colonial  times  and  is  an  appropriate  one  for  a  school  whose 
purpose  has  been  consistently  that  of  educating  the  area's  young  men  and 
women.  Through  fulfillment  of  its  specific  objectives,  it  has  been  and  con- 
tinues to  be  an  influential  voice  in  the  educational,  cultural  and  spiritual 
development  of  the  entire  north  central  Pennsylvania  region. 


Traditions 

The  long  history  of  Lycoming  and  the  attractive  geographic  setting  com- 
bine to  provide  fertile  ground  for  the  seeds  of  enriching  expansion,  one  of 
the  college's  major  traditions.  Alumni  nostalgically  remember  Old  Main 
and  other  buildings  from  the  past,  but  what  is  most  characteristic  of  their 
college  is  its  amazing  capacity  for  growth  that  continues  to  meet  the  de- 
mands of  our  changing  society  and  its  evolving  culture. 

Through  more  than  a  century  of  its  history,  the  college  has  had  the  stabil- 
izing influence  of  The  United  Methodist  Church.  The  evolution  of  Lycoming 
from  its  origins  to  its  present  status  has  been  accomplished  with  the  con- 
tinuous conviction  that  a  Christian  philosophy  of  life  is  a  proper  leaven  of 
higher  education.  Lycoming  fosters  a  Christian  atmosphere  in  all  aspects  of 
the  college  program  and  stresses  the  development  and  practice  of  a  Chris- 
tian way  of  life. 


THIS  IS  LYCOMING  /  9 

Lycoming  College  is  owned  by  the  Preachers'  Aid  Society  of  The  Central 
Pennsylvania  Annual  Conference  of  The  United  Methodist  Church.  Faculty 
and  students  express  their  religious  convictions  through  membership  and 
participation  in  nearly  thirty  Protestant  denominations  as  well  as  the  Roman 
Catholic  and  Hebrew  faiths.  Significant  opportunities  are  offered  every  stu- 
dent for  personal  expression  of  religious  faith. 

Lycoming  College  firmly  believes  in  Christian  higher  education.  One  of  its 
major  objectives  is  continuous  afiirmation  of  the  vahdity  of  the  Christian 
faith  as  a  way  of  life.  Fulfillment  of  this  objective  is  aided  by  the  support 
of  a  strong  Department  of  Rehgion.  This  department  was  estabhshed 
through  the  generosity  of  the  late  Honorable  M.  B.  Rich,  for  ten  years 
President  of  the  Board  of  Directors. 

An  emphasis  upon  Christian  worship  and  thought  is  offered  by  the  weekly 
chapel  program  which  brings  to  the  campus  outstanding  religious  leaders 
who  share  with  the  student  body  contemporary  rehgious  thinking.

ACADEMIC  PROGRAM 


Admissions 


Admission  to  college  today  is  becoming  increasingly  competitive  and 
undoubtedly  it  will  continue  to  be  so;  thus,  it  is  for  each  college  to  define  its 
future  position. 

At  Lycoming  College  there  is  to  be  an  increase  in  the  size  of  the  campus, 
the  addition  of  new  facilities,  the  continuous  improvement  of  the  faculty, 
and  the  development  of  a  larger  student  body.  The  intent  is  to  provide  a 
quality  education  for  an  increased  number  of  students,  while  maintaining 
identification  as  a  small  church-related  college. 

Admissions  Policy 

The  College  Committee  on  Admissions  sets  pohcy  and  recommends  the 
standard  to  guide  the  selection  of  candidates.  Admission  is  regarded  as 
selective  and  is  on  a  competitive  basis. 

In  making  selections  emphasis  is  placed  upon  academic  measures  as  evi- 
denced by  school  records  and  examinations.  Consideration  is  given  to  sub- 
jects studied,  classroom  achievement,  relative  rank  in  class,  difiFerences 
among  schools,  counselor's  recommendation  and  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test 
scores. 

Attention  is  given  to  qualities  of  character  and  leadership,  in  addition  to 
activities  and  interests  in  school  and  community. 

Academic  Requirements 

1.  Graduation  from  an  approved  secondary  school  is  required. 

2.  Although  a  set  pattern  of  high  school  subjects  is  not  required,  a  strong 
program  of  academic  subjects  is  recommended  as  the  most  desirable 
preparation  for  college.  This  should  include  a  total  of  15  or  16  academic 
units  with  substantial  work  in  the  areas  of  English  and  mathematics,  and 
additional  work  in  foreign  language,  social  studies,  and  science.' 

3.  The  College  Board  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test  is  required.  Acceptable 
scores  are  considered  in  the  hght  of  other  academic  information. 


"  Music  majors  must  provide  a  letter  of  recommendation  from  the  applicants'  private  teacher  and/ 
or  high  school  music  supervisor.

Selection  Process 


Applications  are  accepted  until  March  1,  after  which  the  selection  process 
begins.  Criteria  have  been  established  to  identify  well-qualified  candidates 
who  are  sincerely  motivated  to  high  academic  performance. 

Although  it  might  seem,  with  the  emphasis  placed  on  test  scores,  class 
rank,  and  other  statistical  information,  that  numbers  are  all  important, 
this  premise  is  not  entirely  so.  Many  hours  are  devoted  to  reading  applica- 
tions, personal  recommendations,  counselor's  evaluations  and  other  avail- 
able information.  In  addition,  phone  calls  and  letters  are  frequently  ex- 
changed in  an  effort  to  discern  the  qualities  in  an  applicant  which  play  an 
important  part  in  the  success  of  the  student  at  Lycoming.  Each  candidate  is 
carefully  considered  in  a  very  personal  way. 

Candidates  are  notified  of  the  committee's  decision  sometime  after  March 
15,  but  before  April  1.  Those  selected  are  required  to  pay  a  $100  fee  no 
later  than  May  1.  This  amount  is  not  an  extra  charge  but  is  used  to  reserve  a 
space  at  the  college  for  the  fall  and  each  succeeding  semester.  It  will  be  ap- 
plied toward  the  charges  of  the  last  semester  in  residence,  nomially  the 
semester  prior  to  graduation.  When  a  student  decides  to  terminate  his 
enrollment  at  Lycoming  College  prior  to  graduation,  this  fee  will  be 
refunded  when  a  written  request  is  made  to  the  Registrar  before  the  end 
of  the  student's  eighth  week  of  his  last  semester. 

Eably  Decision  Plan.  Lycoming  College  has  adopted  an  Early  Decision 
Plan  which  will  permit  the  Director  of  Admissions  to  notify  well-qualified 
candidates  at  the  beginning  of  their  senior  year  in  high  school  that  their 
admission  to  the  college  is  assured  upon  graduation.  To  be  considered  under 
the  early  decision  plan,  a  candidate  must  complete  application  requirements 
before  November  1.  Candidates  accepted  in  this  category  will  be  notified 
by  December  1  and  will  be  recjuired  to  pay  a  $100  fee. 

Early  Notification.  Appraisal  of  an  applicant's  credentials  will  be  sent 
(approximately  15  days  following  written  request)  to  candidates  who  desig- 
nate Lycoming  as  first  preference. 

Application  Procedure 

1.  Persons  desiring  to  apply  for  admission  should  request  official  forms 
from  the  Director  of  Admissions. 

2.  The  Admissions  Ofiice  compiles  a  personal  folder  for  each  applicant 
and  the  following  items  must  be  submitted  before  a  candidate  is  con- 
sidered for  admission.  These  items  should  be  received  at  the  college 
before  March  1.

ord.

ACADEMIC  PROGRAM  /  13 

c)  A  fee  of  $15,  which  is  a  processing  charge  and  is  not  refundable. 

d)  Confidential  reports  from  two  persons  listed  as  references  in  the 
application. 

Note:  Forms  are  supplied  by  the  college  for  items  (a)  and  (d). 

e )  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test  scores  of  the  College  Entrance  Examina- 
tion Board.  Results  from  the  test  written  during  the  senior  year  are 
preferred.  Results  from  the  test  written  during  the  junior  year  may 
be  accepted  for  early  decision  candidates. 

Note:  It  is  recommended  that  candidates  who  write  achievement 
tests  have  the  results  reported. 

3.  Candidates  are  invited  to  visit  the  campus  and  to  meet  with  the 
Director  of  Admissions  or  a  representative  of  the  Admissions  Office. 
This  time  provides  an  opportunity  for  reviewing  the  candidate's  cre- 
dential file,  discussing  plans,  and  answering  questions. 

Advanced  Standing  by  Placement 

Students  entering  as  freshmen,  who  have  studied  an  advanced  course 
while  in  secondary  school  and  have  taken  the  appropriate  advanced  place- 
ment examination  of  the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board,  are  en- 
couraged to  apply  for  credit  and  placement.  A  grade  of  three  or  above  is 
generally  considered  to  be  satisfactory. 

Grades  of  the  examinations  and  supporting  materials  are  evaluated  in 
deciding  whether  a  candidate  is  given  credit  with  advanced  placement  or 
advanced  placement  only.  Credit  given  is  entered  upon  the  student's  record 
without  charge  for  tuition. 

Students  may  also  receive  advanced  placement  by  examinations  admin- 
istered at  the  college  during  Freshmen  Orientation  Periods.  Examinations 
at  this  time  may  be  taken  in  foreign  languages  and  mathematics. 

Advanced  Standing  by  Transfer 

Transfer  students  applying  to  Lycoming  College  shall  have  their  records 
evaluated  by  the  Registrar  prior  to  admission.  A  transfer  student  must  meet 
the  minimum  requirements  for  normal  progress  toward  the  degree,  as  de- 
fined for  Lycoming  College  students,  in  order  to  be  considered  for  admission. 
A  transfer  student  shall  have  his  class  status  determined  by  the  number  of 
course  credit  hours  in  which  he  was  enrolled  at  the  previous  institution  ( s ) . 

If  an  interview  is  to  be  required,  a  mutually  convenient  time  will  be 
arranged. 

Admission  to  the  Summer  Session 

Students  who  are  candidates  for  degrees  at  Lycoming  College  are  eligible 
to  register  for  the  Summer  Session.

ing tlie  spring  of  1970. 

Admission  as  a  Special  Student 

Lycoming  College  offers  a  number  of  courses  in  the  late  afternoon  and

all  of  his  A.B.,  requirements  at  these  times  and  on  a  part-time  basis. 

In  addition  many  advanced  courses  are  given  at  these  times.  The  courses

grades  of  B  or  one  with  a  grade  of  C. 

Bachelor  of  Arts,  magna  cum  laude — at  least  one-half  of  all  unit  courses 
shall  have  been  passed  with  grades  of  A,  the  remainder  to  have  been  passed 
with  grades  of  B  or  equivalent  ( one  A  for  every  C ) . 

Bachelor  of  Arts,  cum  laude — at  least  one-fourth  of  all  unit  courses  shall 
have  been  passed  with  grades  of  A,  the  remainder  to  have  been  passed  with 
grades  of  B  or  equivalent  ( one  A  for  every  C ) . 

High  quality  scholarship  is  also  recognized  by  the  election  of  students  to 
membership  in  The  Sachem,  Gold  Key,  Blue  Key,  Phi  Alpha  Theta  and 
Omicron  Delta  Epsilon. 

Academic  Standing 

Freshmen  are  admitted  to  sophomore  standing  when  they  have  passed 
a  minimum  of  six  unit  courses,  four  with  grades  of  C  or  better. 

Sophomores  are  admitted  to  junior  standing  when  they  have  passed  a 
minimum  of  fourteen  unit  courses,  ten  with  grades  of  C  or  better. 

Juniors  are  admitted  to  senior  standing  when  they  have  passed  a  mini- 
mum of  twenty-two  unit  courses,  sixteen  with  grades  of  C  or  better. 

When  students  are  not  making  satisfactory  progress,  as  described  above, 
within  the  normal  eight  semesters  of  college  work,  their  cases  are  reviewed 
by  the  Faculty  Committee  on  Academic  Standing.  Continuing  unsatisfactory 
progress  shall  be  just  cause  for  dismissal  from  college. 

The  college  reserves  the  right  to  dismiss  any  student  whose  grades  are 
excessively  low  in  any  one  semester.  It  also  reserves  the  right  to  dismiss  any 
student  when  such  dismissal  is  in  the  best  interests  of  the  college. 

Class  Attendance 

The  academic  program  at  Lycoming  is  based  upon  the  assumption  that 
there  is  value  in  class  attendance  for  all  students.  Individual  instructors  have 
the  privilege  of  estabhshing  reasonable  absence  regulations  in  any  given 
course.  Responsibihty  for  learning  and  observing  these  regulations  rests  with 
the  student. 


Degree  Programs 


Lycoming  College  is  a  liberal  arts  institution  granting  the  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree.  A  degree  candidate  must  fulfill  certain  minimal  course  requirements 
in  breadth  of  learning— the  distribution  requirements— and  in  depth  of  learn- 
ing in  a  chosen  subject  matter  field— the  major. 

Instruction  at  Lycoming  College  is  organized,  with  few  exceptions,  on  a 
departmental  basis.  Nearly  all  courses  are  unit  courses,  meaning  that  each 
course  taken  by  the  student  is  considered  to  carry  the  same  academic  value 
as  any  other  course.  For  transfer  purposes  each  course  is  considered  to  be 
equivalent  to  four  semester  hours  of  academic  work.  This  does  not  mean 
that  all  courses  will  meet  for  four  one-hour  lectures  each  week  although 
many  will  do  so.  Rather  each  course  meets  on  a  schedule  set  by  the  depart- 
ment and  the  instructor  involved.  Such  meetings  may  be  on  a  lecture,  dis- 
cussion, laboratory  or  tutorial  basis.  Varying  amounts  of  additional  reading, 
writing,  study  and  research  will  be  required  for  each  course.  The  number  of 
actual  class  meetings  may  vary  from  two  to  six  or  seven  per  week. 

Normally  each  student  will  elect  four  courses  each  semester,  although  in 
unusual  circumstances  a  student  may  take  more  or  less  than  this  number. 
One  unit  course  may  be  elected  during  each  of  the  four-week  summer 
sessions. 

The  Major 

Except  for  individuals  in  the  Lycoming  Scholar  program,  all  students  will 
complete  a  series  of  covuses  in  a  field  of  concentration  known  as  the  major. 
The  minimum  number  of  such  courses  in  any  case  is  eight,  and,  with  one 
exception  (Soviet  Area  Program),  the  concentration  is  within  a  given 
department  of  the  college. 

Majors  are  available  in  the  following  departments: 

Accounting  Music 

Art  Philosophy 

Biology  Physics 

Business  Administration  Political  Science 

Chemistry  Psychology 

Economics  Religion 

English  Russian 

French  Sociology  and  Anthropology 

German  Spanish 

History  Theatre 

Mathematics 

In  addition,  one  may  elect  to  major  in  the  interdisciplinary  Soviet  Area 
Program. 

Some  courses  are  offered  in  subjects  in  which  a  major  is  not  available. 
These  courses  are  normally  elective,  but  in  some  instances,  they  may  be 


18 /LYCOMING  COLLEGE 

used  to  fulfill  supporting  or  distribution  course  requirements:  Czech,  Edu- 
cation, Geology,  Greek. 

Selection  of  a  major  is  entirely  at  the  discretion  of  the  student.  The  choice 
is  governed  by  such  important  factors  as  vocational  aims,  aptitudes,  and 
interest.  Whatever  the  reason,  the  student  must,  by  the  close  of  his  sopho- 
more year,  have  selected  a  major. 

Some  fields  are  such  that  the  program  of  study  is  highly  standardized 
and  most  of  the  major  courses  are  specified  while  others  allow  a  wide  lati- 
tude of  choice.  In  any  case,  however,  all  major  departments  offer  a  series 
of  advanced  level  courses  enabling  the  serious  student  to  probe  more  deeply 
into  his  field  of  interest.  Specific  subjects  selected  for  such  advanced  studies 
may  be  highly  diversified,  and  may  take  the  form  of  independent  study, 
honors,  seminars,  or  small  classes  informally  organized. 

Knowledge  in  some  academic  departments  may  be  considerably  enhanced 
by  knowledge  obtained  from  another.  For  example,  knowledge  of  chemistry 
is  imquestionably  supported  and  enhanced  by  knowledge  of  fundamental 
concepts  of  mathematics.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  a  student's  educational 
program  shall  include  a  number  of  unit  courses  from  departments  other 
than  the  major.  Some  such  courses  are  specified  by  various  departments 
while  others  may  be  elected  by  the  student  in  consultation  with  his  faculty 
advisor. 


The  Distribution  Requirements 

There  are  many  definitions  and  many  approaches  to  liberal  education. 
Certainly  the  liberally  educated  man  will  have  the  breadth  of  training  which 
will  enable  him  to  bring  many  of  the  historical  and  traditional  avenues  of 
thought  to  bear  on  the  problems  and  questions  he  finds  within  the  world, 
his  community  and  himself.  His  study  and  learning  will  emphasize  his 
humanity  and  should  enable  him  to  bring  all  of  the  aspects  of  life  into  a 
proper  perspective. 

In  order  to  aid  in  accomplishing  this  end,  most  liberal  arts  colleges  estab- 
lish distribution  requirements,  a  set  of  groups  of  courses  from  which  the 
student  may  choose  in  order  to  satisfy  the  criterion  of  breadth  of  learning. 
Courses  that  meet  these  requirements  are  selected  in  consultation  with  the 
faculty  advisor.  At  Lycoming  College  each  student  must  meet  the  following 
requirements: 

Freshman  English.  All  students  are  ordinarily  required  to  pass  Enghsh 
10,  Rhetoric,  and  English  11,  Introduction  to  Literature.  Students  who  have 
achieved  a  sufficiently  high  score  in  the  ETS  Advanced  Placement  Test  in 
English  may  have  the  requirements  of  English  10  and  11  waived. 

Foreign  Language  or  Mathem.\tics.  All  students  are  required  to  meet 
a  minimum  basic  requirement  in  either  a  foreign  language  or  mathematics.

Special  Opportiuiities  for  Students 

The  changing  nature  of  American  education  finds  greater  emphasis  than 
ever  before  upon  the  development  of  significant  opportunities  for  self-fulfill- 
ment among  students.  Pertinent  educational  goals  demand  that  every 
student  shall  be  accorded  an  opportunity  to  pursue  a  program  that  oflFers 
him  the  best  chance  to  realize  his  intellectual  potential.  It  is  for  this  reason, 
that  Lycoming  has  developed  a  curriculum  that  allows  a  maximum  flexi- 
bility in  course  selection,  especially  among  those  courses  that  support  the 
major  as  well  as  those  that  effectively  meet  the  requirements  of  the  college's 
objectives  in  liberal  education.  But  wide  variety  in  course  selection  does  not 
always  allow  as  completely  individualistic  a  program  as  one  might  wish. 
Therefore,  a  variety  of  Special  Education  opportunities  is  provided. 

Lycoming  Schoi..\r  Program.  This  program  is  designed  to  meet  the  needs 
of  a  small  number  of  exceptional  students  who  would  profit  from  a  more 
flexible  curriculum  than  that  normally  required.  The  Lycoming  Scholar  may 
choose,  depending  on  his  background  and  interests,  a  program  which  allows 
(a)  greater  specialization  or  (b)  more  interdisciplinary  work  than  the  regu- 
lar curriculum  permits. 

A  Lycoming  Scholar  may  be  elected  in  either  of  two  ways: 

L     By  having  been  elected  in  competition  with  other  applicants,  prior 

to  enrollment  at  Lycoming. 
2.  By  being  selected  by  the  Lycoming  Scholar  Council,  which  adminis- 
ters the  program,  on  the  basis  of  proven  performance  at  Lycoming 
College.  Any  student  may  apply  for  admission  up  to  the  beginning 
of  his  junior  year,  provided  he  has  maintained  a  grade  point  average 
of  3.25  or  higher  for  two  consecutive  semesters  at  the  time  of  appli- 
cation. Selection  by  the  council  is  based  on  board  scores,  high  school 
record,  college  record,  faculty  recommendations  and  interviews. 

Each  Lycoming  Scholar  will  be  assigned  to  a  professor  by  the  council. 
Jointly,  and  with  the  approval  of  the  Lycoming  Scholar  Council,  they  will 
construct  a  total  college  program  suited  to  the  needs  of  the  student.  In 
general  all  curricular  requirements,  with  the  exception  of  English  10  and 
successful  completion  of  thirty  unit  courses,  are  waived.  Lycoming  Scholars 
are  permitted  to  take  more  or  fewer  than  four  unit  courses  at  a  time;  may 
substitute,  with  permission  of  the  instructor,  an  independent  study  pro- 
gram for  any  course;    may  take  independent  reading  or  research  courses; 


ACADEMIC  PROGRAM  /  21 

and  will  engage  in  special  seminars  conducted  by  members  of  the  Lycoming 
Scholar  Council  in  the  freshman  and  senior  years. 

All  Lycoming  Scholars  must  take  a  comprehensive  examination.  The 
student  is  to  elect  whether  he  will  take  the  comprehensive  made  up  by  the 
Lycoming  Scholar  Council  for  the  Lycoming  Scholars  or  the  comprehensive 
in  his  major,  if  he  has  one. 

If  the  performance  of  a  Lycoming  Scholar  is  unsatisfactory  he  may  be 
dropped  from  the  program.  Such  a  student  will  be  expected  to  complete 
a  major  if  possible  and  to  complete  the  curricular  requirements  set  by  the 
council. 

The  student  should  note  that  no  financial  aid  is  automatically  granted 
any  Lycoming  Scholar.  In  addition  any  Lycoming  Scholar  who  elects 
five  courses  in  one  semester  will  be  charged  for  the  fifth  course  as  would 
any  other  student.  No  aid  automatically  accrues  to  any  Lycoming  Scholar 
who  elects  to  spend  one  or  more  semesters  either  overseas  or  at  other 
campuses  in  the  United  States.  However,  all  Lycoming  Scholars  will  be 
given  careful  consideration  when  election  of  one  of  the  special  aspects 
of  the  program  places  an  additional  financial  burden  on  the  student  and 
his  family.    The  scholar  should  consult  with  the  financial  aid  officer. 

Independent  Study.  Each  department  granting  a  major  provides  oppor- 
tunity to  students  to  work  independently.  Upon  consent  of  the  department 
head,  and  the  instructor,  a  student  may  register  for  courses  in  Independent 
Study.  Normally,  the  opportunity  for  such  study  is  provided  for  the  better 
quahfied  major  student  who  has  successfully  completed  the  courses  making 
up  the  core  of  his  major  program.  Except  under  unusual  circumstances, 
registration  for  the  studies  course  is  limited  to  one  unit  course  during  each 
semester.  If  a  student  wishes  to  elect  more  than  one  unit  during  a  semester 
or  three  or  more  unit  courses  in  Studies  in  his  total  college  program,  approval 
of  the  Academic  Standing  Committee  must  be  secured.  Students  who  are 
privileged  to  elect  Independent  Study  in  any  department  register  for  courses 
numbered  80-89,  Studies,  with  an  appropriate  title  to  be  entered  upon  the 
student's  permanent  record. 

Seminar  Study.  The  several  departments  may  from  time  to  time  find  it 
possible  to  organize  small  classes  or  seminars  for  exceptional  students  inter- 
ested in  subjects  or  topics  not  usually  a  part  of  departmental  course  offer- 
ings. Establishment  of  the  seminar  and  admission  of  students  depends 
upon  the  approval  of  the  department  involved.  Occasionally,  Visiting  Pro- 
fessors, Lecturers,  or  Specialists  in  Residence  will  offer  such  seminar  studies. 
Students  who  are  privileged  to  elect  Seminar  Study  in  any  department  regis- 
ter for  courses  numbered  70-79,  Studies,  with  an  appropriate  title  to  be 
entered  upon  the  student's  permanent  record.  Enrollment  in  seminar  courses 
is  normally  Hmited  to  ten  students. 

Depahtmental  Honors.  When  a  student  desires  to  enter  an  Honors  pro 
gram  ahd  secures  departmental  approval  to  apply,  a  faculty  committee  shall 
be  convened  whose  initial  responsibifity  shall  be  to  pass  upon  the  student's 


22 /LYCOMING  COLLEGE 

eligibility  to  enter  the  program.  The  committee  responsibility  shall  also 
include  the  direction  of  the  study,  and  final  evaluation  of  its  worth.  The 
committee  shall  be  composed  of  two  faculty  members  from  the  student's 
major  department,  one  of  whom  shall  be  the  faculty  member  under  whose 
immediate  supervision  the  study  is  performed,  and  one  member  from  each 
of  two  other  departments  related  to  the  subject  matter  of  the  study.  Com- 
mittee members  shall  be  selected  from  among  the  faculty  members  who 
are  personally  acquainted  with  the  applicant's  abihties.  Selection  of  persons 
to  serve  on  the  committee  is  made  by  the  chairman  of  the  applicant's  major 
department,  after  consultation  with  the  chairmen  of  other  departments 
involved.  Usually  the  Honors  program  involves  independent  study  in  two 
consecutive  unit  courses.  Students  who  are  privileged  to  elect  Honors 
register  for  courses  numbered  90-99. 

Honors  study  is  expected  to  result  in  the  completion  of  a  thesis  to  be 
defended  in  a  final  oral  examination.  Acceptable  theses  shall  be  deposited 
in  the  college  library.  Successful  completion  of  the  Honors  program  will 
cause  the  designation  of  honors  in  the  department  to  be  placed  upon  the 
pennanent  record.  In  the  event  that  the  study  is  not  completed  sucessfully, 
the  student  shall  be  re-registered  in  Studies  and  given  a  final  grade  for  the 
course. 

Washington  Semester.  Upon  recommendation  of  the  faculty  of  the 
Department  of  Political  Science,  students  may  be  permitted  to  attend  the 
American  University,  Washington,  D.C.,  for  a  period  of  one  full  semester. 
The  Washington  Semester  program  is  intended  to  provide  a  first-hand 
acquaintance  with  various  aspects  of  the  nation's  capital,  as  well  as  an  aca- 
demic experience  equivalent  to  the  normal  four  unit  courses.  This  program 
is  open  to  selected  students  who  have  special  interests  in  political  science, 
law  and  American  government.   Ordinarily,  only  junior  students  are  eligible. 

United  Nations  Semester.  Upon  recommendation  of  the  faculty  of  the 
Departments  of  History  or  Political  Science,  students  may  be  permitted  to 
attend  Drew  University,  Madison,  New  Jersey,  for  a  period  of  one  full 
semester.  The  United  Nations  Semester  is  intended  to  provide  a  first-hand 
acquaintance  with  the  United  Nations,  New  York  City,  as  well  as  an  aca- 
demic experience  equivalent  to  the  nonnal  four  unit  courses.  This  program 
is  open  to  selected  students  who  have  special  interests  in  world  history, 
international  relations,  law,  and  politics.  Ordinarily,  only  junior  students 
are  eligible. 

London  Semester.  Upon  recommendation  of  the  faculty  of  the  Depart- 
ments of  History  or  Political  Science,  students  may  be  permitted  to  attend 
London  University  for  a  period  of  one  semester.  This  program  is  operated 
by  Drew  University  in  conjunction  with  many  other  American  colleges. 
It  is  intended  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  character  of  one  of  the 
principal  sources  of  American  law  and  politics  as  well  as  to  provide  an 
academic  program  ecjuivalent  to  the  nonnal  four  courses.  Ordinarily,  only 
junior  students  are  eligible. 


ACADEMIC  PROGRAM  /  23 

Junior  Year  Abroad.  Under  the  auspices  of  approved  universities  or 
agencies,  a  student  may  be  privileged  to  spend  one  or  two  semesters  of  his 
junior  year  in  a  foreign  university.  The  program  has  seemed  to  be  espe- 
cially attractive  to  students  majoring  in  foreign  languages  but  it  is  entirely 
possible  for  other  students  to  participate.  A  file  on  opportunities  within 
the  Junior  Year  Abroad  program  is  available. 

International  iNTERCxrLTtrRAL  Studies.  Lycoming  College  is  a  participat- 
ing member  of  the  Association  of  Colleges  and  Universities  for  International 
Intercultural  Studies  (ACUIIS).  The  Association  sponsors  college  courses 
taught  during  the  summer  at  a  center  agreed  upon  by  the  member  institu- 
tions. During  the  summer  of  1969,  the  program,  consistmg  of  a  number  of 
courses,  was  held  at  the  University  of  Graz  in  Austria,  July  3-August  22. 
Lycoming  College  students  are  eligible  for  participation  in  this  program, 
extending  across  seven  weeks  of  the  summer.  Total  cost  will  approximate 
$800.00-$850.00  and  includes  air  fare,  tuition,  room,  board,  field  trips,  laun- 
dry and  insurance.  Students  interested  in  this  program  should  consult  the 
Dean  of  the  College. 


Vocational  Aims 

Courses  of  study  at  Lycoming  College  are  designed  to  fulfill  two  specific 
but  interrelated  purposes.  The  first  is  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the 
liberal  arts  heritage  of  human  civilization  and  the  American  nation.  The 
second  is  to  provide  him  an  opportunity'  to  explore,  from  an  elementary  to 
an  advanced  level,  various  fields  that  may  fit  him  for  life's  vocation  or 
direct  him  toward  professional  or  graduate  schools.  A  wide  variety  of 
vocations  may  be  entered  directly  upon  graduation.  These  include  posi- 
tions in  business,  industry,  government,  and  the  professions,  including 
teaching.  Students  interested  in  any  of  these  areas  are  referred  to  their 
advisor,  to  the  appropriate  departments  or  to  special  advisors  assigned  for 
each  of  the  areas  mentioned  above. 

Economics  and  Business 

Lycoming  College  oflFers  course  work  in  the  field  of  business  administra- 
tion particularly  designed  for  training  prospective  business  leaders.  The 
three  areas  of  specialization  are  business  administration,  accounting,  and 
economics.  Business  is  a  highly  diversified  occupation;  therefore  the  cur- 
riculum is  not  designed  to  be  vocational  or  narrowly  pre-professional.  The 
purposes  of  the  business  administration  curriculum  are  to  train  and  to  equip 
the  minds  of  men  and  women  to  recognize  and  to  solve  complex  problems 
facing  business  executives,  to  develop  an  appreciation  for  rigorous  analysis, 
to  practice  the  arts  of  verbal  and  written  communication,  and  to  expose  the 


24/LYCOMINC  COLLEGE 

developing  mind  to  as  wide  as  possible  a  range  of  course  work  represented 
by  the  traditional  liberal  arts  curriculum,  to  the  end  that  a  student  becomes 
truly  well  educated.  Considerable  flexibility  is  pennissible  within  the  cur- 
riculum and  the  student  is  encouraged  to  pursue  course  work  most  reward- 
ing to  him.  Three  years  of  high  school  mathematics  are  recommended  for 
preparation.    For  specific  requirements,  refer  to  individual  course  areas.

At  least  three  years  of  pre-dental  study  are  suggested  before  entn'  into 
a  college  of  dentistry.  However,  many  dental  schools  prefer  their  students  to 
defer  their  matriculation  in  a  dental  college  until  they  have  earned  a  Bach- 
elor of  Arts  degree.  The  pre-dental  curriculum  is  organized  around  the  basic 
courses  in  biology,  chemistry  and  physics.  Electing  a  major  in  one  of  the 
natural  sciences  is  the  usual  procedure.  The  student  should  consult  the 
catalog  of  the  college  of  dentistry  to  which  he  expects  to  apply  so  that  all 
courses  specifically  required  by  that  college  of  dentistry  may  be  included  in 
his  program  at  Lycoming  College.  The  modem  practitioner  of  dentistry  is 
not  just  a  dentist.  He  is  a  human  being  dealing  with  other  human  person- 
alities and  as  such  must  be  conversant  in  a  great  variety  of  human  experi- 
ences. For  this  reason,  the  pre-dental  curriculum  will  be  augmented  with 
courses  from  many  areas  of  academic  work.  In  addition  to  the  science 
courses,  therefore,  the  pre-dental  student  will  include  in  his  curriculum 
courses  from  the  fine  arts,  humanities  and  social  sciences,  as  well  as  a 
foreign  language. 

Cooperative  Curriculum  in  Engineering 

Consistent  with  increased  attention  being  given  nationally  to  engineer- 
ing education,  Lycoming  College  offers  a  cooperative  curriculum  combining 
the  manifold  advantages  of  a  small  liberal  arts  college  with  the  training  to 
be  secured  at  an  engineering  school.  By  arrangement  with  Bucknell  Uni- 
versity and  The  Pennsylvania  State  University,  the  colleges  offer  a  five-year 
program  in  which  the  first  three  years  are  spent  at  Lycoming  and  the  final 
two  at  the  engineering  school.  Upon  completion  of  the  first  year  at  the 
engineering  school,  the  student's  record  will  be  sent  to  Lycoming  College. 
If  the  work  is  satisfactory,  Lycoming  College  will  award  the  Bachelor 
of  Arts  degree.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  five-year  program  of  studies,  a 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Engineering  is  awarded  by  the  engineering  school. 
Combined  programs  offer  an  opportunity  for  completion  of  studies  in  the 
following  areas:  Bucknell  University:  chemical,  civil,  electrical,  or  mechani- 
cal engineering;  The  Pennsylvania  State  University:  aeronautical,  civil, 
electrical,  industrial,  mechanical  or  sanitary  engineering. 

Prescribed  work  at  Lycoming  includes,  in  addition  to  the  degree  require- 
ments outlined  above,  courses  in  chemistry,  mathematics  and  physics. 
Because  the  demands  of  the  engineering  curricula  may  differ  somewhat,  a 
program  of  studies  at  Lycoming  College  will  be  designed  for  each  student 


ACADEMIC  PROGRAM/ 25 

when  his  plans  as  to  type  of  engineering  program  preferred  have  been  finally 
fixed".  A  member  of  the  teaching  staff  in  the  physical  sciences  will  aid  each 
cooperative  engineering  student  in  planning  his  program. 

Cooperative  Curriculum  in  Forestry 

Lycoming  College  offers  a  program  for  forestry  students  which  combines 
a  strong  liberal  arts  background  with  professional  training  in  forestry  at  the 
Duke  School  of  Forestry,  Duke  University,  Durham,  North  Carolina. 

The  program  as  established  is  of  five  years'  duration.  A  student  electing 
to  pursue  this  program  of  study  will  spend  three  years  at  Lycoming  where 
he  will  meet  the  hberal  arts  degree  requirements,  including  such  subjects  as 
English,  biology,  chemistry,  physics,  mathematics  and  economics. 

Upon  satisfactory  completion  of  these  three  years'  work  at  Lycoming 
College,  the  student  will  apply  for  admission  to  the  Duke  School  of  Forestry 
for  one  summer  and  two  years  of  training  in  forestry.  At  the  end  of  his  first 
year  at  Duke,  his  record  will  be  sent  to  liycoming  College.  If  the  work  is 
satisfactory  for  this  fourth  year  in  college,  Lycoming  will  award  the  Bach- 
elor of  Arts  degree.  Upon  the  satisfactory  completion  of  the  second  year  in 
forestry  school,  the  professional  degree.  Master  of  Forestry,  will  be  awarded 
by  Duke  Universtry. 

Cooperative  Curriculum  in  Drama 

The  American  Academy  of  Dramatic  Arts  and  Lycoming  College  recog- 
nize appropriate  courses  given  by  the  other  institution.  At  Lycoming  an 
exception  is  made  in  the  residency  requirements  for  graduation  (page  15). 
Normally,  in  the  case  of  the  transfer  student  who  is  a  graduate  of  the 
American  Academy  of  Dramatic  Arts  and  recommended  by  them  and  who 
has  completed  two  years  successful  study  at  an  accredited  college  or  uni- 
versity, the  residency  requirement  shall  be  two  summers  with  The  Arena 
Theatre  and  two  consecutive  semesters  in  an  academic  year.  Course  work 
may  be  required  during  summer  sessions.    Each  case  is  subject  to  review. 

Preparation  for  Law  School 

Many  colleges  of  law  require  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  for  admission. 
The  four-year  degree  program  in  pre-law  at  Lycoming  College  provides  a 
background  for  the  prospective  student  of  law.  Requirements  include 
courses  in  political  science  and  history,  but  also  specified  is  a  wide  range  of 
subject  matter  designed  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  vast  scope  of 
human  experience.  Students  may  expect  to  major  in  economics,  history, 
political  science,  or  related  fields  as  they  prepare  for  matriculation  in  law 
school.  Individual  programs  are  tailored  to  fit  the  student's  needs  as  well  as 
to  meet  the  specific  requirements  of  the  law  school  to  which  he  apphes  for 
admission. 


26  /  LYCOMING  COLLEGE 

Preparation  for  Medical  College 

This  curriculum  is  organized  around  a  solid  foundation  of  the  basic 
courses  in  biology,  chemistry  and  physics.  Pre-medical  students  usually 
major  in  one  of  the  natural  sciences.  The  student  should  be  aware  of  the 
specific  pre-medical  course  requirements  demanded  by  the  medical  college 
to  which  he  will  apply  so  that  all  such  requirements  can  be  fitted  properly 
into  his  curriculum  at  Lycoming  College.  Consistent  with  suggestions  of  the 
medical  colleges,  a  wide  range  of  subject  matter  from  the  humanities,  social 
sciences  and  fine  arts  is  also  to  be  included  in  the  curriculum.  Some  stu- 
dents may  matriculate  in  a  college  of  medicine  after  three  years  of  pre- 
medical  work,  but  the  more  normal  procedure  is  to  elect  four  years  of 
pre-medi(;al  study  and  enter  the  medical  college  with  a  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree. 

Medical  Technology 

This  curriculimi  is  organized  around  an  academic  background  of  basic 
science  courses  in  addition  to  those  liberal  arts  courses  listed  as  requirements 
for  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree.  Three  unit  courses  in  biology  are  required 
as  well  as  one  of  mathematics.  In  chemistry.  General  Chemistry  and  one 
other  course  are  required.  Three  or  four  years  are  spent  in  obtaining  this 
academic  background;  the  final  year  is  spent  in  the  medical  laboratories  of 
an  approved  hospital.  This  will  consist  of  an  internship  of  a  full  calendar 
year  at  a  hospital  accredited  in  the  Registry  of  Medical  Technologists  of  the 
American  Society  of  Clinical  Pathologists.  The  college  will  give  credit  for 
the  year  when  it  is  informed  that  the  student  has  successfully  passed  the 
examinations  given  by  the  Registry  of  Medical  Technologists  of  the  Ameri- 
can Society  of  Clinical  Pathologists.  An  official  transcript  of  studies  com- 
pleted at  the  hospital  must  also  be  submitted  by  the  candidate.  Lycoming 
College  has  a  formal  affiliation  with  Williamsport  Hospital,  Divine  Provi- 
dence Hospital  in  Williamsport  and  Robert  Packer  Hospital  in  Sayre,  Penn- 
sylvania. 

Religion  and  Religious  Education 

Any  student  desiring  extensive  study  in  biblical  history  and  bterature, 
the  historical  development  of  Christianity,  and  Christian  doctrine,  may 
major  in  religion.  A  qualified  student  planning  to  enter  the  vocation  of 
religious  education  should,  besides  majoring  in  religion,  elect  five  or  six  unit 
courses  in  prescribed  psychology,  education,  sociology,  and  church  music. 
This  program  of  study,  completely  within  the  liberal  arts  curriculum,  is  to 
qualify  graduates  for  work  as  Educational  Assistants,  or  after  graduate  study 
in  a  theological  seminary,  as  Directors  of  Christian  Education.  Interested  or 
prospective  students  are  invited  to  contact  Mr.  Neufer  of  the  Department  of 
Religion  for  further  information  concerning  the  opportunities,  responsi- 
bihties  and  requirements  of  these  and  other  church  vocations. 


ACADEMIC  PROGRAM/ 27 

Soviet  Area  Studies  Program 

Interest  in  Russian  history,  government,  culture,  and  foreign  relations  is 
so  important  that  Lycoming  College  offers  special  opportunity  for  those 
students  desiring  to  speciahze  in  study  of  such  subjects.  This  curriculum 
permits  one  to  select  courses  stressing  Russian  experience  in  a  variety  of 
fields  and  combine  them  with  four  years  of  Russian  language  study  to  form 
a  satisfactory  graduate  major. 

Preparation  for  Theological  Seminary 

(Christian  Ministry) 

Young  men  and  women  called  to  the  Christian  ministry  or  related  voca- 
tions will  find  the  pre-ministerial  curriculum  at  Lycoming  College  an  excit- 
ing and  challenging  opportunity.  Basic  courses  specified  by  the  American 
Association  of  Theological  Schools  are  virtually  identical  with  the  program 
of  courses  required  for  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  at  Lycoming  College. 
Such  courses  offer  a  wide  range  of  subject  matter  presenting  many  oppor- 
tunities for  the  pre-ministerial  student  to  acquaint  himself  with  the  broad 
scope  of  human  experience.  Preparation  for  seminary  includes  earning  a 
Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  with  a  major  in  one  of  a  variety  of  fields  such  as 
religion,  Enghsh,  history,  and  philosophy.  So  that  every  student  may  have 
a  curriculum  designed  to  fit  his  individual  needs,  the  offerings  in  the  junior 
and  senior  year  are  largely  elective.  However,  the  choice  of  electives  will 
depend  upon  the  specific  requirements  of  the  theological  school  in  which 
the  student  expects  to  matriculate. 

Teacher  Education 

Lycoming  College  trains  teachers  for  both  elementary  and  secondary 
education.  The  program  is  clearly  identified  with  the  hberal  arts  nature  of 
the  college,  and  hence,  no  candidate  for  the  profession  of  teaching  is  con- 
sidered apart  from  the  total  liberal  arts  objective.  Teacher  education  can- 
didates meet  all  general  course  requirements  of  the  college  including  a 
major  in  a  subject  matter  field. 


FINANCIAL  INFORMATION 


bxpenses 

General  Expenses 

In  considering  the  expenses  of  college,  it  is  well  to  bear  in  mind  that  no 
student  actually  pays  the  full  cost  of  his  education.  State  colleges  are  en- 
abled to  keep  the  cost  of  tuition  within  reasonable  limits  by  grants  from  the 
pubhc  treasury;  independent  colleges  achieve  this  by  voluntary  contribu- 
tions supplemented  by  income  from  their  invested  endowment  funds.  At 
Lycoming  College,  the  tuition  fee  which  each  student  pays  represents  only 
a  portion  of  the  total  instruction  cost.  Tuition  is  kept  at  the  lowest  possible 
level  consistent  with  adequate  facilities  and  competent  instruction. 

Tuition  at  Lycoming  is  $925.00  per  semester,  plus  certain  fees  which  are 
listed  on  the  following  pages.  The  room  expense  for  boarding  students 
amounts  to  $250.00  per  semester  except  for  men  living  in  the  Fraternity 
Residence,  who  are  assessed  an  additional  $25.00.  Board  is  $275.00  per 
semester  (the  academic  year  comprises  two  semesters  of  approximately 
sixteen  weeks  each ) .  If,  for  justifiable  reason,  it  is  impossible  for  a  student 
to  eat  in  the  College  Dining  Room,  permission  may  be  given  the  student  to 
make  other  arrangements  for  meals.  However,  in  the  event  such  permission 
is  granted,  the  room  cost  will  be  50%  higher  than  the  above  rates.  If  a 
student  requests  the  use  of  a  double  room  as  a  single  room  and  the  room  is 
available,  he  will  be  charged  50%  more  than  regular  rates. 

The  tuition  charged  covers  the  regular  or  prescribed  course  of  study 
which  normally  comprises  four  subjects.  Additional  detailed  information 
will  be  furnished  by  the  Treasurer's  Office  upon  request. 


Application  Fee  and  Deposit 

All  students  applying  for  admission  are  required  to  send  an  apphcation 
fee  of  $15.00  with  the  application.  This  charge  is  to  partially  defray  the 
cost  of  processing  the  application  and  maintaining  academic  records  and  is 
non- refundable. 

After  a  student  is  notified  that  he  has  been  accepted  for  admission  by  the 
college,  he  is  required  to  make  a  deposit  of  $100.00.  This  deposit  is  evidence 
of  the  applicant's  good  intention  to  matriculate  and  is  applicable  to  the 
general  charges  of  his  final  semester  in  attendance  (see  page  12);  it  is  not 
an  extra  fee.  This  deposit  is  not  refundable  when  the  student  fails  to 
matriculate  at  Lycoming  College. 


30  /  LYCOMING  COLLEGE 


Books  and  Supplies 


A  modem  book  and  supply  store  is  conveniently  located  in  the  Wertz 
Student  Center.  Books  and  supplies  are  purchased  by  the  individual  stu- 
dent. The  estimated  cost  is  approximately  $75.00  per  year,  but  will  vary 
somewhat  in  accordance  with  the  course  of  study  which  the  student  is 
pursuing.  The  bookstore  is  open  registration  day  and  daily  thereafter.

The  college  reserves  the  right  to  adjust  charges  at  any  time. 

Payment  of  Fees 

The  basic  fees  for  the  semester  are  due  and  payable  on  or  before  registra- 
tion day  for  that  semester.  Checks  or  money  orders  should  be  payable  to 
Lycoming  College. 


FINANCIAL  INFORMATION  /  31 

Charges  for  laboratory  supplies  and  additional  credit  hours  will  be  billed 
and  payable  immediately  following  each  registration  period. 

Partial  Payments 

For  the  convenience  of  those  who  find  it  impossible  to  follow  the  sched- 
ule of  payments  as  listed,  arrangements  may  be  made  with  the  College 
Treasurer  for  the  monthly  payment  of  college  fees  through  various  educa- 
tional plans.  Additional  information  concerning  partial  payments  may  be 
obtained  from  the  Treasurer  or  Director  of  Admissions. 

Withdrawals  and  Refunds 

The  date  on  which  the  Dean  of  the  College  approves  the  student's  with- 
drawal sheet  is  considered  the  official  date  of  withdrawal.  In  the  case  of 
minors,  the  approval  of  the  parent  or  guardian  is  required  before  the  with- 
drawal is  approved  and  before  any  refund  is  made. 

Room  rentals  have  been  fixed  on  a  semester  basis.  Consequently,  students 
leaving  college  prior  to  the  ending  of  a  semester  will  not  be  entitled  to  any 
refund  of  room  rent. 

Refund  of  tuition  and  board  will  be  made  to  students  who  withdraw  vol- 
untarily from  the  college  while  in  good  standing  and  is  fixed  on  the  following 
basis:  Students  leaving  during  the  first  four-week  period  are  charged  30%; 
during  the  second  four  weeks,  60%;  during  the  third  four  weeks,  90%; 
after  twelve  weeks,  full  charge. 

Dropping  a  unit  course  from  the  original  schedule  after  the  first  week  of 
either  semester  will  not  justify  any  claim  for  refund  of  tuition  charges. 
No  refund  will  be  made  to  those  students  who  are  asked  to  withdraw  from 
the  college. 

Other  fees  cannot  be  refunded  for  any  reason  whatever. 

Penalty  for  Non-Payment  of  Fees 

A  student  will  not  be  registered  for  courses  in  a  new  semester  if  his  ac- 
count for  previous  attendance  has  not  been  settled. 

No  grades  will  be  issued,  no  diploma,  transcript  of  credits,  or  certification 
of  withdrawal  in  good  standing  will  be  granted  to  any  student  until  a 
satisfactory  settlement  of  all  obligations  has  been  made. 

Damage  Charges 

Wherever  possible,  damage  to  dormitory  property  will  be  charged  to  the 
person  or  persons  directly  responsible.  Damage  and  breakage  occurring  in 
a  room  will  be  the  responsibility  of  students  occupying  the  room. 

Halls  and  bathroom  damage  will  be  the  responsibility  of  all  students  of 
the  section  where  damage  occurs.   Actual  costs  of  repairs  will  be  charged. 


Financial  Aid 


A  generous  program  of  financial  aid  for  students  is  designed  to  recognize 
outstanding  achievement  and  to  supplement  limited  resources  by  providing 
assistance  to  students  in  their  eflForts  to  obtain  a  college  education.  This 
assistance  may  take  any  one,  or  any  combination,  of  the  following  forms: 
(1)  Scholarships,  (2)  Grants-in-aid,  (3)  Educational  Opportunity  Grants, 
(4)  Loans,  (5)  Work-Study  Grants. 

The  establishment  of  need  is  the  controlling  factor  in  determining  the 
amount  of  the  grant  or  award.  To  this  end,  Lycoming  uses  the  College 
Scholarship  Service  sponsored  by  the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board. 
Prescribed  forms  are  available  from  high  school  counselors  or  from  the 
college  upon  request. 

Scholarships  are  awarded  to  the  beginning  student  on  the  basis  of  aca- 
demic achievement  as  evidenced  by  the  scores  on  the  College  Entrance 
Examination  Board  tests  and  a  ranking  in  the  first  fifth  of  the  high  school 
class.  To  continue  receiving  the  award  during  succeeding  years,  a  cumu- 
lative average  of  3.0  must  be  maintained  together  with  satisfactory  campus 
citizenship. 

Lycoming  offers  a  limited  number  of  Lycoming  Fellowships  to  outstand- 
ing students  on  a  competitive  basis.  Candidates  should  be  in  the  top  tenth 
of  their  high  school  class  and  have  verbal  and  quantitative  College  En- 
trance Examination  Board  scores  above  600.  Examinations  and  interviews 
are  held  on  the  campus  on  two  occasions  in  December  and  February.  Suc- 
cessful candidates  will  be  awarded  grants  ranging  up  to  full  tuition, 
depending  on  need,  for  their  four  years  at  Lycoming  College  providing 
they  maintain  a  3.0  average.  In  addition  they  are  eligible  to  join  the 
Lycoming  Scholar  Program  (page  20). 

Grants-in-aid  are  awarded  annually  to  students  on  the  basis  of  a  demon- 
strated need.  The  size  of  the  grant  is  determined  by  need  and  by  the 
promise  of  becoming  beneficial  members  of  the  college  communit)-.  Con- 
sideration is  also  given  to  families  with  more  than  one  student  at  the 
college. 

Ministerial  Grant s-in- Aid:  Financial  assistance  is  available  through  grants 
from  The  United  Methodist  Church  to  children  of  ministers  and  ministerial 
students. 

Educational  Opportunity  Grants  are  given  to  students  with  exceptional 
financial  need  who  are  in  good  academic  standing.  These  are  available 
under  the  Higher  Education  Act  of  1965.

CAMPUS  LIFE 


Religious  Life 


Lycoming  College  provides  a  student  with  many  opportunities  to  mature 
in  his  faith  through  participation  in  the  religious  life  of  the  campus. 

A  Director  of  Religious  Activities,  who  is  a  member  of  the  faculty  with 
teaching  responsibilities,  is  responsible  for  co-ordinating  the  religious  activi- 
ties of  the  college  and  provides  counseling  in  the  area  of  religion  to  students 
who  request  his  assistance.  He  serves  as  Executive  Secretary  to  the  Religious 
Life  Council.  The  Religious  Life  CouncO,  a  student  organization  which 
coordinates  the  religious  program  on  the  campus,  is  composed  of  representa- 
tives from  student  organizations,  faculty,  administration,  and  the  local  clergy. 
Throughout  the  year  it  plans  campus-wide  discussions,  forums,  lectures, 
etc.,  with  the  aim  of  helping  persons  discover  meaning  in  life. 

Weekly  worship  services  on  Sunday  morning  in  Clarke  Chapel  are  planned 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Director  of  Religious  Activities  and  the  Religious 
Life  Council.  Regular  Protestant  ecumenical  services  are  provided,  along 
with  occasional  Catholic  masses  planned  and  scheduled  by  the  Catholic 
students  under  the  direction  of  the  chaplain  to  Catholic  students,  associated 
with  St.  Roniface  Roman  Catholic  Church.  Jewish  students  are  invited  to 
associate  with  either  the  Orthodox  or  Reformed  Synagogue. 


Student  Activities 


Lycoming  College  accepts  the  responsibility  of  making  every  situation 
in  which  learning  occurs  constructive  and  positive.  The  college  believes 
that  learning  is  a  continuous  process  that  takes  place  not  only  in  the  class- 
room, but  also  in  every  college  activity. 

The  college  assumes  its  responsibility  in  this  area  by  directing  the  extra- 
curricular educational  experiences  of  the  students  in  such  a  way  that  these 
activities  contribute  to  the  achievement  of  the  objectives  of  the  college,  by 
complementing  the  academic  life  of  the  campus. 

The  college  considers  one  of  its  responsibilities  to  be  the  encouragement 
of  as  many  different  activities  as  are  necessary  to  provide  all  students  with 
the  opportunity  to  participate  constructively  in  this  area  of  student  life. 
Departmental  clubs;  athletics,  both  intercollegiate  and  intramural;  varied 
interest  groups  such  as  denominational  clubs,  the  choir,  the  band,  etc.; 


36  /  LYCOMING  COLLEGE 

social  organizations;  social  activities;  self-governing  groups;  and  many 
informal  associations  are  equally  important  in  a  well-integrated  program 
of  student  activities. 

Recognizing  the  need  for  skilled  leadership  in  our  world,  the  college  aims 
to  utilize  students  in  as  many  of  the  leadership  positions  as  possible.  In 
doing  so,  it  will  give  students  the  opportunity  to  accept  greater  responsibili- 
ties, and  to  learn  as  they  participate. 

Student  Government 

Self-government  by  students  in  certain  areas  of  campus  life  is  an  objective 
achieved  through  the  Student  Government  Association  of  Lycoming  College. 
The  Student  Council  is  the  legislative  body  of  the  Association.  The  officers 
of  the  Student  Government  Association  are  elected  from  the  entire  student 
body.  Members  of  Student  Council  are  elected  by  classes  and  certain 
other  organizations. 

As  the  Student  Council  has  been  delegated  authority  for  certain  areas  of 
campus  life,  it  has  also  become  more  directly  involved  with  the  problems  of 
campus  community  life  and  is  participating  actively  in  the  formulation  of 
policy  and  procedures.  Recognized  by  the  college  as  the  legitimate  repre- 
sentative body  of  the  students,  the  Student  Council  has  been  responsible  for 
the  organization  of  the  Tri-Partite  Committee  which  is  composed  of  stu- 
dents, faculty,  and  administrators.  This  committee  considers  basic  issues 
within  the  college,  makes  recommendations,  and  refers  items  to  the  various 
campus  groups  authorized  to  take  action. 

A  number  of  standing  committees  of  Student  Council  are  concerned  with 
specific  areas  of  student  life.  The  Social  Calendar-Concessions  Committee 
is  responsible  for  approving  the  scheduling  of  all  social  activities  by  student 
organizations,  and  awards  concessions  to  student  groups  for  "fund-raising" 
purposes  upon  request.  The  Dining  Room  Committee  advises  the  manager 
in  menu  planning  and  other  areas  of  concern. 

Homecoming  and  Spring  Weekend  are  major  social  activities  under  the 
sponsorship  of  Student  Council.  Each  of  these  weekends  features  a  major 
concert  or  dance  along  with  a  full  program  of  activities,  which  is  financed 
by  a  social  fee  of  $16.00  per  year  for  all  students. 

This  fund  has  sponsored  concerts  by  Martha  and  the  Vandellas,  The 
Happenings,  The  Paul  Butterfield  Blues  Band,  and  Gary  Puckett  and  The 
Union  Gap. 

Other  governing  groups  on  the  campus  are  the  Inter-Fraternity  Council, 
the  Men's  Dormitory  Council,  the  Women's  Dormitory  Council,  and  the 
Associated  Women  Students.  Each  operates  under  limited  authority  in 
situations  related  to  its  specific  area. 

Social  and  Cultural  Influences 

Lycoming  gives  its  students  every  possible  opportunity  to  become  famihar 
with  the  best  social  customs  and  usages.  The  development  of  poise  and  ease 


CAMPUS  LIFE/ 37 

in  handling  oneself  in  social  situations  is  an  objective  in  the  program  of  the 
college.  These  experiences  are  provided  through  the  dining  room,  coffees 
and  receptions,  and  other  social  functions. 

The  Artist  and  Lecture  Series  presents  several  performances  of  the  best 
obtainable  talent  in  music,  drama,  the  dance,  and  the  lecture.  The  series  is 
presented  to  provide  wider  cultural  experiences  than  might  normally  be 
available  to  the  student.  Although  the  series  is  entertaining,  its  prime  ob- 
jective is  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  arts  and  the  humanities  as  they 
are  performed  on  a  professional  level. 


Student  Union 

The  Student  Union  of  Lycoming  College  is  a  unique  organization.  It  is 
operated  by  a  Board  of  Students  who  are  selected  for  membership  after 
they  have  served  at  least  a  year  in  the  apprentice  program.  Its  services  to 
the  campus  include  poster-making,  pubHcity,  and  a  travel  board.  The 
Student  Union  Board  is  responsible  for  the  entire  Student  Union  Program. 
It  sponsors  dances,  lectures,  picnics,  tours,  concerts,  intercollegiate  mixers, 
films,  tournaments,  recreational  activities,  bridge,  skiing,  life-saving  courses, 
and  coffee  hours,  and  provides  an  informal  place  for  students  to  gather. 

Programs  presented  in  the  past  include  Ogden  Nash,  Carey  McWiUiams, 
The  Riverside  Chamber  Singers,  the  New  York  Baroque  Ensemble,  and 
numerous  other  lectm-ers  and  performers.  The  Board  cooperates  in  the  spon- 
sorship of  the  Artist  and  Lecture  Series  by  providing  funds  and  personnel. 

A  laboratory  for  learning,  the  Lycoming  Student  Union  offers  students 
a  real  opportunity  to  learn  while  serving  the  campus.

Programs  and  Rules 


Orientation 

The  orientation  program  at  Lycoming  College  is  designed  to  help  the 
student  entering  college  for  the  first  time  to  start  this  new  adventure  under 
the  most  favorable  circumstances.  An  entirely  new  concept  of  courses,  class 
scheduUng,  and  methods  of  instruction  must  be  assimilated.  Adjustments 
to  this  new  experience  are  important. 

In  order  to  prepare  for  the  beginning  of  this  experience,  Lycoming  sched- 
ules six  to  eight  orientation  sessions  each  lasting  two  and  one  half  days  dur- 
ing the  summer.  Each  new  student  is  required  to  attend  one  of  these  sessions 
accompanied  by  at  least  one  parent. 

The  summer  program  makes  it  possible  to  schedule  ample  time  for  aca- 
demic advisement,  placement  testing,  library  orientation,  and  registration. 
The  college  is  able  to  work  more  satisfactorily  with  new  students  in  plan- 
ning programs  of  study  tailored  to  each  student's  vocational  and  academic 
interests.  Each  new  student  completes  all  preliminaries,  including  registra- 
tion, during  the  summer  orientation  period.  Textbooks  are  available  for 
purchase  and  perusal  prior  to  the  opening  of  classes  in  the  fall. 

Information  regarding  the  dates  of  orientation  sessions,  a  typical  schedule 
and  a  pre-registration  form  are  mailed  to  each  new  student  admitted  to 
Lycoming  College. 

Intercollegiate  Sports 

The  college  offers  an  attractive  program  of  intercollegiate  athletics  and 
encourages  wide  participation  by  its  students.  It  is  a  member  of  the 
National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association,  the  Eastern  Collegiate  Athletic 
Conference  and  the  Northern  Division  of  the  Middle  Atlantic  Conference. 
Lycoming  annually  meets  some  of  the  top-ranking  small  college  teams  in 
the  East  in  athletic  competition.  Contests  are  scheduled  with  other  colleges 
in  football,  soccer,  basketball,  wresthng,  swimming,  baseball,  tennis,  golf, 
and  track. 

Intramural  Athletics 

An  extensive  and  diversified  program  of  intramural  athletic  competition 
affords  opportunity  for  every  student  to  participate  in  one  or  more  sports  of 
his  own  choosing. 

Sports  for  men  include  touch  football,  basketball,  volleyball,  bowling, 
badminton,  table  tennis,  tennis,  softball,  golf,  wrestling,  swimming,  horse- 
shoes, track  and  field.

universities  during  the  school  year. 


CAMPUS  LIFE/ 49 

Academic  Counseling 

An  advantage  of  a  small  college  is  the  rich  experience  gained  by  the 
close  association  of  students  and  faculty.  The  counseling  program  at  Ly- 
coming enables  students  to  discuss  various  academic  problems  with  their 
instructors,  the  Dean  of  the  College,  and  the  Dean  of  Student  Services. 

As  an  entering  Freshman,  the  student  is  assigned  to  a  faculty  adviser 
who  meets  with  him  as  needed  during  the  year.  The  Freshman  finds  his 
adviser  willing  to  guide  and  assist  in  the  many  problems  that  confront  a 
new  college  student. 

Psychological  Services 

The  college  provides  a  program  of  psychological  services  under  the  di-

The  Alumni  Association 

The  Alumni  Association  of  Lycoming  College  has  a  membership  of  over 
six  thousand  men  and  women.  It  is  governed  by  an  Executive  Board  of  five 
oflBcers  and  twenty-one  members  nominated  and  elected  by  the  membership. 
It  elects  annually  a  member  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  College  for  a 
three-year  term.  The  Director  of  Alumni  Affairs  directs  the  activities  of  the 
Alumni  Office. 

The  Alumni  Association  of  Lycoming  College  has  two  objectives:  (1)  to 
promote  the  interests  of  the  college,  and  (2)  to  foster  among  its  members 
loyalty  and  devotion  to  their  alma  mater.  All  persons  who  have  successfully 
completed  one  year  of  study  at  Lycoming  College,  or  Wilhamsport  Dickin- 
son Junior  College,  and  all  former  students  of  Williamsport  Dickinson 
Seminary  are  members  of  the  Association. 

The  Alunini  Office  is  located  on  the  first  floor  of  Long  Hall.  Arrangements 
for  Homecoming,  Alumni  Day,  Class  Reunions,  club  meetings  and  similar 
activities  are  coordinated  through  this  office.  There  are  active  alumni  clubs 
in  Harrisburg,  Lehigh  Valley,  Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh,  State  College, 
Northern  New  Jersey,  Rochester,  Schenectady,  Syracuse,  Connecticut,  Bal- 
timore, and  Washington,  D.  C. 

Lycoming  College  holds  Class  A,  B,  and  C  memberships  in  the  American 
Alumni  Council.  Through  its  Alumni  Fund,  the  Alumni  OflBce  is  closely 
associated  with  the  development  program  of  the  college. 

Acting  as  the  representative  of  alumni  on  the  campus,  and  working  also 
with  undergraduates,  the  Alumni  Office  aids  in  keeping  alumni  informed 
and  interested  in  the  program,  growth  and  activities  of  the  college. 

Communications  to  the  Alumni  Association  should  be  addressed  to  the 
Alumni  OflBce.
