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.
H
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
8 / LYCOMING COLLEGE
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.

12 /LYCOMING COLLEGE
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.
a) A completed application for admission and secondary school rec-
ord.
b) A recent photograph (approximately 2" x 3").
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.
A student who is a candidate for a degree from another college may
14 /LYCOMING COLLEGE
enter the Summer Session upon certification by the dean of that institution
that the apphcant is an enrolled student and that the courses taken at Ly-
coming will be accepted for credit if they are passed with certifying grades.
Others applying for admission to the Summer Session may be accepted
only upon presentation of official evidence of preparation to meet the regular
admissions requirements. An application form is available from the Admis-
sions Office. A summer school brochure will be available upon request dur-
ing tlie spring of 1970.
Admission as a Special Student
Lycoming College offers a number of courses in the late afternoon and
evening. These are a part of the regular college program and are open to
all cjualified students. Students who wish to enroll in one or more of these
courses must be admitted, through the Admissions Office, as a special stu-
dent. The course offerings given the eighth (4:00-4:50 p.m.) and ninth
(6:30-8:00 p.m.) periods are such that any student may obtain all or nearly
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
are well-suited to the elementary and secondary school teacher who needs
continuing work, as, for example, to qualify for permanent certification.

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.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM / 19
Foreign Language. Students electing to take a foreign language may
choose from among French, German, Greek, Russian or Spanish. The student
is required to pass two units on the intermediate or a higher course level.
Placement at the appropriate course level will be determined by the faculty
of the Department of Foreign Languages.
No student who has had two or more years of a given foreign lanjuage
in high school shall be admitted to the elementary course in that same
language for credit, except by written permission from the Chairman of
the department.
Mathematics. Students electing the mathematics option will be given a
placement test. The student may satisfy this requirement in one of the
following ways:
a) Mathematics 10 and 11.
b) Any four of Mathematics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, or Business 23.
c) Achievement of minimum standards as determined by the Mathematics
Department and completion of any two courses named in (b) above
except Mathematics 1.
Religion or Philosophy. All students are required to pass one year ( two
unit courses) in one of the following; (a) Philosophy, (fo) Religion.
Philosophy. Students electing the philosophy option must take Philosophy
10 and one other Philosophy course ; except upon the consent of the depart-
ment, this other course will not be Philosophy 28, 31, or 38.
Religion. Students electing the religion option must take Religion 10 and
one other Religion course. This will normally be either Religion 13 or 14,
but with the consent of the instructor the student may enroll in other
Religion courses.
Fine Abts. All students are required to pass one year ( two unit courses )
in one of the following:
a) Art. Normally, any two courses in art, including Education 14, will
satisfy this requirement.
h) Literature. Students may elect one year of hterature in the Enghsh
Department from the courses numbered 20 or above, or one year of
literature in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature
from the courses numbered 33 or above.
c) Music. The basic courses in Music Appreciation, Music 10-11; Educa-
tion 12-13; or Music Theory, Music 23-24 will satisfy this requirement.
d ) Theatre. Any two Theatre courses numbered 10 and above will satisfy
this requirement. Theatre I, a course in basic speech is not applicable
toward meeting the requirement in fine arts.
20 / LYCOMING COLLEGE
Natubal Science. All students are required to pass one year (two unit
courses) in one of the following; (a) Biology, (b) Chemistry, (c) Geology,
or (d) Physics.
History and Social Science. All students are required to pass one year
(two unit courses) in one of the following: (a) Economics, (b) History,
(c) Political Science, (d) Psychology or (e) Sociology and Anthropology.
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

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.

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.
Preparation for Dental School
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.

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.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION / 33
Loans: Federal National Defense Student Loans are available to needy
students. Other loans are available through the various state student loan
programs.
Work-Study Grants are allocated to students in academic good standing
who come from low income famihes. These federal grants 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.
College Publications and Communications
There are several oflBcial college publications. Each is devoted to a
specific area of college life, and is designed to communicate to selected
groups of the college community.
The Bell, official student newspaper, is pubUshed weekly and is devoted
to interests of the student body, reporting current campus events.
The Arrow, college yearbook, is pubUshed in August and presents a record
of student life during the current academic year.
The Freshman Handbook, published annually by Student Government, is
a handbook of regulations and miscellaneous information which is distrib-
uted to freshmen prior to their arrival on the campus.
The Alumni Bulletin is published by the Alumni Office four times yearly.
It is designed to keep the alumni informed of current happenings at the
college and on alumni activities. The Newsletter is pubUshed periodically
between issues of the Bulletin.
The President's Report, an annual review of college operations to the
Board of Directors, is distributed to all alumni and parents.
The Student Bulletin and The Faculty Bulletin are published weekly by
the oflBce of the Dean of the College.
The Lycoming Library Student Handbook is pubhshed by the Ubrary
every September.

The Campus Radio Station, VVLCR, broadcasts nightly from 5:00 p.m.
until midnight on a wired circuit to all residence halls. The station broad-
casts music, news commentary, sports results, and special programs of inter-
est to the student body.
The Pennsylvania Folklore Society
In 1961 Lycoming College became official headquarters of the Pennsyl-
vania Folklore Society, a scholarly organization founded in 1920 for the
purpose of collecting, preserving, and disseminating knowledge about
Pennsylvania folklore. The society publishes a quarterly journal, the Key-
stone Folklore Quarterly, which is sent to individual and institutional
subscribers throughout the United States and Canada.
Campus Clubs and Organizations
A variety of organizations on the campus provide opportunities for social
and intellectual growth. These groups are organized and conducted by
students in cooperation with faculty sponsors or advisors.
Some of the groups are: the Student P.S.E.A.-N.E.A., which gives prospec-
tive teachers current information on the teaching field and an insight into
the problems of education; The Lycoming College Theatre, which stages
a variety of dramatic productions including original work; The Varsity
Club, composed of lettermen, which promotes college spirit in sports; the
Business Club for students majoring in business administration; the French,
German, Russian and Spanish Clubs, which study the language and the life
and culture of the countries; the Model United Nations Society, the Practical
Politics Society, political clubs, and the Associated Women Students, which
sponsors parties and teas for student, faculty, and parents.
Musical organizations at Lycoming oflFer to singers and instrumentalists
aUke a fine opportunity to learn by doing. There are several choral groups
and instrumental ensembles ofi^ering every able student the chance to par-
ticipate both on the campus and on torn:.
Fraternities
Six Greek letter fraternities on the campus provide a means of bringing
to men students the advantages of national fraternal organizations as well
as group housing. They include the Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho, Beta
Lambda Chapter of Sigma Pi, Iota Beta Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi
Alpha, Epsilon Beta Chapter of Theta Chi, and Gamma Rho Chapter of
Alpha Sigma Phi, and Mu Theta Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
The Inter-Fraternity Council coordinates the activities of the fraternities.

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.

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

the East in athletic competition. Contests are scheduled with other colleges
in football, soccer, basketball, wresthng, swimming, baseball, tennis, golf,

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-
rection of a qualified clinical psychologist.
The Psychological Services Center provides limited diagnostic and psy-
chotherapeutic services to all students desiring help in the solution of
emotional and behavioral problems. Under certain circumstances psycho-
logical testing is offered. Any student member of the college community
desiring either psychological counseling or an informal consultation may
use the services of the clinic. Students are charged for therapy extending
beyond three sessions.
Study Skills Center
A series of study skills sessions are scheduled as the need arises under
professional direction. Groups of six to ten students are enrolled for a
series of six to ten hours in each session. They include sessions on reading
skills, test-taking, note-taking, psychological blocks to studying, etc.
Reading Improvement Course
A course designed to improve reading skills is offered at various times dur-
ing the academic year. Skilled instructors teach students how to improve
reading speed and comprehension in short courses which span a six-week
period— four one-hour periods each week. A student who is deficient in
reading skills may sign up for this course on a voluntary basis. The charge
is $50.00. Information is sent to the students during the summer.
Placement Services

dent in each of the following areas:
1. Securing part-time employment on the campus and in the community

and assistantships
3. Offering information on vocational opportunities, employer literature,
job interviews, government service, and other data helpful to seniors
50 / LYCOMING COLLEGE
4. Providing information about summer job opportunities

education graduate. Each year many districts send representatives to
the campus to interview prospective elementary and secondary teach-
ers. Over 3500 positions in the eastern states are Usted yearly in the

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.
