THIS IS LYCOMING
At Lycoming it is believed that a liberal arts edu-
cation is the best hope for an enlightened citizenry
and that vocational and professional specialization
must be built on a broad acquaintance with the vari-
ous disciplines. Programs are arranged within a lib-
eral arts framework so that all students study the
humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
Our experienced full-time teaching faculty is well
prepared to teach with 209 degrees from 101 col-
leges and universities. Over 59% of our classes at
Lycoming have 19 or less students; over 36% have
10 or less students. Greater personal attention is pos-
sible with experienced professors teaching freshman
through senior courses.
Ill
Beyond the level of general education, the College
stresses the pursuit of a major. This presses the stu-
dent to achieve competency in a more limited area
and encourages greater depth and sense of academic
achievement. The major relates to increased under-
standing of oneself and his world; it leads both to
graduate school and to vocation. Majors are not
confined to single departments of the College;
increasingly they are interdepartmental in nature,
thus permitting the student a wider range of ex-
perience in related fields.

Purpose and Objectives
Lycoming College encourages the search for meaning within a world of
changing values. Although its primary thrust is within the liberal arts, the
College recognizes the importance of vocational emphases to assure
competency in the world of work.
Free inquiry is essential to the pursuit of truth and self-understanding.
Within an atmosphere in which moral and religious values are considered
important, Lycoming College stresses:
(a) Competency in the use of language and appreciation for literature;
(b) Understanding of the basic principles of mathematics;
(c) Analysis of relationships and values through the study of philo-
sophy and religion;
(d) Experience in scientific method and knowledge;
(e) Basic understanding of the fine arts through an introduction to
music, the theatre, or the history of art;
(f) Experience in the methods and content of history, social sciences,
and the behavioral sciences, with at least an introduction to eco-
nomics, sociology, history, political science, or psychology.
(g) The importance of maintaining sound physical and mental health.
Beyond the level of general education, the College stresses the pursuit
of a major. This presses the student to achieve competency in a more
limited area and encourages greater depth and sense of academic achieve-
ment. The major relates to increased understanding of oneself and his
world; it leads both to graduate school and to vocation. Majors are not
confined to single departments of the College; increasingly they are inter-
departmental in nature, thus permitting the student a wider range of ex-
perience in related fields.
The College believes that the classroom is but one important phase of
the academic program. The student also lives in a residential unit or com-
mutes from home. He participates in multitudinous "activities'" or in
none at all. More recently he has been encouraged to take part in "the
governance of the college" and to express freely his own aims, ac-
complishments, and frustrations. These must each be the concern of the
College.
Lycoming College firmly believes that the search for values within the
historical setting of religious concern must be the function of the entire
institution. All of campus life, and not simply the activities of classroom
and chapel, must actively assist the student to discover his true vocation
as a human bemg.
1
History and Traditions
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 the advent of public schools in the city, the Academy expanded its
curricular offerings to include high school and college preparatory work.
In 1848, under the patronage of The Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Academy became Williamsport Dickinson Seminary. The Seminary con-
tinued as a private boarding school until 1929 when once again its offer-
ings were expanded, this time to include two years of college work. This
expansion 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 repu-
tation, 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 College, a four-year degree-
granting college of liberal arts and sciences.
Lycoming College is approved to grant baccalaureate degrees by the
Pennsylvania State Department of Education. The College is accredited
by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools
and the University Senate of The United Methodist Church. Lycoming
is a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Uni-
versities, 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" mean-
ing "Great Stream.'" It is a name that has been common to north
central Pennsylvania 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 continues to be an influential voice in the educational,
cultural and spiritual development of the entire north central Pennsyl-
vania region.
HISTORY AND TRADITIONS/3
Through more than a century of its history, the college has had the
stabilizing influence of The United Methodist Church. The evolution of
Lycoming from its origins to its present status has been accomplished
with the continuous conviction that a Christian philosophy of life is a
proper leaven of higher education. Lycoming fosters a Christian atmos-
phere in all aspects of the college program and stresses the development
and practice of a Christian way of life.
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 oppor-
tunities are off'ered every student for personal expression of religious faith.
Lycoming College firmly believes in Christian higher education. One
of its major objectives is continuous affirmation of the validity of the
Christian faith as a way of life. Fulfillment of this objective is aided by
the support of a strong Department of Religion. This department was
established 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 outstanding religious leaders to the
campus to share contemporary religious thinking with the students.

Academic Program
Admissions
Admissions Policy
The College Committee on Admissions sets policy and recommends
the standard to guide the selection of candidates. Selective admission is
based on academic achievement reflected in school records, class rank,
and SAT scores. In addition, subjects studied, counselor and teacher
recommendations, and other available information that might identify
well-qualified candidates are considered.
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 aca-
demic units with substantial work in the areas of English and mathe-
matics, 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 light of other academic information.
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.
♦Prospective music majors must provide a letter of recommendation from the applicants" private
teacher and/or high school music supervisor.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE/ 5
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 ap-
plications, personal recommendations, counselor's evaluations and other
available information. In addition, phone calls and letters are frequent!)
exchanged in an effort to discern the qualities in an applicant which pla>
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
tee 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
for which the student is eligible to return. It will be applied toward the
charges of the last semester in residence, normally 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.
EARLY 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 required to Day a
SI 00 fee.
FARLY NOTIFICATION. Appraisal of an applicant's credentials will be
sent (approximately 15 days following written request) to candidates who
designate 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 Office 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 I.
a) A completed application for admission and secondary school rec-
ord.
h) A recent photograph (approximately 2" x 3").
c) A fee of SI 5. 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 bv the college for items (</) and id).
6/ADVANCED STANDING BY PLACEMENT
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 Direc-
tor of Admissions or a representative of the Admissions Office. This
time provides an opportunity for reviewing the candidate's credential
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
placement examination of the College Entrance Examination Board, are
encouraged 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 ad-
ministered at the college during Freshmen Orientation Periods. Exami-
nations at this time may be taken in chemistry, foreign languages, and
mathematics.
Advanced Standing by Examination
Students may earn college credit for superior achievement on the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College
Entrance Examination Board. By achieving at the 75th percentile or
above on the General Examinations and the 65th percentile or above on
the Subject Examinations, students may earn up to 50 percent of the
course requirements tor the B.A. degree. These examinations are ad-
ministered the third week of each month at regional testing locations
around the nation. Further information may be obtained from the Office
of the Registrar. While these examinations may be taken after enrollment
at the College, entering freshmen are encouraged to take the examina-
tions of their choice during the second semester of their senior year in
high school so that the College will have the test scores prior to registra-
tion in order that the student may be placed at his level of competence.
admission as a special student/7
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 defined for Lycoming College students, in order to be consid-
ered for admission. A transfer student shall have his class status de-
termined by the number of course credit hours in which he was enrolled
at the previous institution(s).
The guidelines used by the Registrar in determining the status of
transfer students are as follows: (a) Courses in which ''C" or better
grades were earned shall not be charged against the student if these
courses are not transferrable because they are not comparable to courses
offered at Lycoming College, (b) "D'" grades up to the maximum allowed
by Lycoming College shall be charged against the transfer student in
determining student status, (c) No student shall be permitted to enroll in
more than a maximum of 164 credit hours in all institutions attended in
order to earn the minimum number of courses and grade point average
required for graduation, (d) Students must be in good academic standing
to be admitted on transfer.
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
enter the Summer Session upon certification by the dean of that institu-
tion that the applicant is an enrolled student and that the courses taken at
Lycoming will be accepted for credit if they are passed with certifying
grades.
Others applying for admission to the Summer Session may be ac-
cepted only upon presentation of official evidence of preparation to meet
the regular admissions requirements. An application form is available
from the Admissions Office. A summer school brochure will be available
upon request during the spring.
Admission as a Special Student

superior scholarship. Students are admitted to the Dean's List when they
have completed at least three courses with other than S/U and have a
minimum grade point average of 3.50 for the semester.

and Omicron Delta Epsilon.
10/ACADEMIC STANDING
Academic Standing
All students must complete a minimum of fifteen (15) unit courses with
an average of "C" or better to be advanced to upper division standing
(junior year). A student whose cumulative or semester average falls
below "C" is considered to be in academic difficulty and his academic
record will be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing. Such
students may be placed on academic probation, suspended, or dismissed
by the Committee on Academic Standing according to regulations estab-
lished by the Faculty.
Grading System
The college uses the traditional letter system of grading: A B C D F,
or Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory.
Any student enrolled full-time at Lycoming College may elect to take
up to a maximum of four courses on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.
Only one course may be taken on this basis during any semester. No
course taken by a student on a S/U basis after the declaration of his
major and his approval by the department involved may be used to
satisfy a requirement of that major.
A student must be in good academic standing in order to elect a
course on the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis during a summer session.
By the tenth day after the first day of class students must declare in the
Registrar's Office their intentions to be graded on a S/U basis. The
grading procedure cannot be changed after this declaration. Unless a
student chooses to do so himself, instructors will not be notified of the
decision to elect the S/U option. Those students admitted to the College
Scholar Program may elect to enroll in four courses on a Satisfactory/
Unsatisfactory basis in addition to those courses in the College Scholar
Program where enrollment on a S/U basis may be required. Enrollment
in these four courses will be according to the regulations of the Satis-
factory/Unsatisfactory policy established by the Faculty.
A student will receive full credit for a course passed with a Satisfac-
tory grade. Neither the "S" nor the "U" will count in computing the
grade point average.
Incomplete grades may be given where the student, for absolutely
unavoidable reasons, has not been able to complete the work requisite
to the course. Such circumstances usually stem from medical sources.
An incomplete grade must be removed within six (6) weeks of the next
regular semester.
ACADEMIC HONESTY/ II
Class Attendance
The academic program at Lycoming is based upon the assumption
that there is value in class attendance for all students. Individual in-
structors have the prerogative of establishing reasonable absence
regulations in any given course. Responsibility for learning and ob-
serving these regulations rests with the student.
Mid-Semester Evaluations For Freshmen
Mid-Semester evaluations are reported for freshman students who are
deficient. These reports are filed with the Registrar who then reports
them to the students concerned and their faculty advisors. The evaluation
report from the instructor may be one of two types: (a) submission of a
letter grade of "D"' or "F"; (b) submission of a written evaluation for
those freshmen who are performing below the satisfactory level.
Withdrawing From Courses
A student may drop any course during the first two weeks of classes
and no record of such enrollment shall be made on his permanent record
card. A student may also add any course during the first two weeks of
classes, subject to the approval of the instructor. Any student who wishes
to drop a course after the second week of classes must secure a with-
drawal card from the Ofl!ice of the Registrar. The student must present
this card to the instructor of the course in question who will then assign
one of the following grades:
W — Progress at the time of withdrawal cannot be determined.
WP — Progress at the time of withdrawal is satisfactory.
WF — Progress at the time of withdrawal is unsatisfactory.
This grade is then entered on the student's permanent record card. No
withdrawal grade is counted in the computation of the grade point
average, but the course from which the student withdraws is counted as
one of the thirty-eight (38) unit courses to which the student is limited in
completing his education at Lycoming.
Academic Honesty
The integrity of the academic process of the College requires honesty
in all phases of the instructional program. The College assumes that stu-
dents are committed to the principle of academic honesty. Students who
fail to honor this commitment are subject to dismissal from the College.
Procedural guidelines and rules for the adjudication of cases of academic
dishonesty are printed in the Faculty Handbook which is available to
students in the library.
Degree Programs
Lycoming College is a liberal arts institution granting the Bachelor of
Arts degree. A degree candidate must fulfill certain minimal course re-
quirements in breadth of learning — the distribution requirements — and
in depth of learning 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 academ-
ic value as any other course. For transfer purposes each course is con-
sidered 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 department and the instructor involved. Such meetings may be
on a lecture, discussion, 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 and the May term. Students may elect to enroll in five
(5) courses during any semester provided they were admitted to the
Dean's List during the preceding semester while carrying at least four
unit courses. Exceptions may be made by the Committee on Academic
Standing.
The Major
Except for individuals in the Lycoming Scholar program, all students
will complete a series of courses in a field of concentration known as the
major. The minimum number of such courses in any case is eight, and,
except for interdisciplinary majors, the concentration is within a given
department of the college.

ADMISSION TO THE MAJOR/ 13
Departmental Majors
Majors are available in the following departments:
Accounting History
Art Mathematics
Biology Music
Business Administration Philosophy
Chemistry Physics
Economics Political Science
English Psychology
Foreign Languages Religion
French Sociology and Anthropology
German Theatre
Russian
Spanish
Interdisciplinary Majors
An interdisciplinary major can be elected instead of one of the de-
partmental majors listed above. Two or more departments working
together establish these programs which must be approved by the Com-
mittee on Interdisciplinary Majors. Examples of established interdis-
ciplinary majors are: Accounting-Mathematics. Literature, Near
Eastern Culture and Archeology, and Soviet Area Studies. For a de-
scription of these majors, see page 56.
A student may take the initiative in designing a unique interdiscipli-
nary major in consultation with his faculty advisor. The Committee on
Interdisciplinary Majors must approve such programs.
Guidelines for individual interdisciplinary majors are as follows: (a)
Any student who is eligible to apply for a departmental major is eligible
to apply for an individual interdisciplinary major, (b) Normally two or
three departments are involved, (c) A minimum of ten courses beyond
those satisfying the distribution requirements is expected. If the inter-
disciplinary major involves departments not included in meeting the
distribution requirements, then the ten courses may include elementary
courses usually used to satisfy distribution requirements. However, the
student is expected to take at least six courses at the advanced (Junior or
Senior) level as determined in consultation with his advisors, (d) Students
are advised by a committee composed of one instructor from each de-
partment involved, with the chairman selected by the student.
Admission To The Major
Admission to a major is not automatic. Students desiring an individual
interdisciplinary major apply to the Committee on Interdisciplinary
14/THE DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
Majors. Those who wish to be admitted to an estabhshed interdis-
ciphnary major apply to the coordinating committee for that major.
Students who wish to be admitted to a departmental major must secure
the approval of the department involved and must meet the requirements
established by the department for admission to the major. Students
contemplating a departmental major should secure the requirements for
admission to that major from the departmental chairman. Applications
for a departmental major may be denied for academic reasons only.
When a student has been denied admission to a major, he may appeal to
the Committee on Academic Standing which, in consultation with the
student and the department, will make the final decision. Students who
have not been admitted to a major by the beginning of their junior year
are subject to dismissal from the College.
The Distribution Requirements
One of the reasons a student chooses to come to Lycoming College is a
desire to obtain a breadth of knowledge in many areas, a liberal arts ed-
ucation. A student that deliberately elects to attend a liberal arts college
is interested in more than training in a narrow major; he wants knowl-
edge in an area of special interest, his major, amplified by exploration
into kindred and "unrelated" fields.
Lycoming College, being a liberal arts institution, insists that a major
program of study be supported and challenged by the influences of a
diversity of subjects. The major must not become narrow in its vision and
sterile in its ability to help the student function eff'ectively in a world
where nothing is neatly isolated and compartmentalized. The College be-
lieves that the essence of liberal education is its potential for exposing the
student to the multitude of historical, traditional, and contemporary
avenues of thought and action which are brought to light in different
ways through the study of various disciplines.
By taking different kinds of subjects, a student can discover numerous
ways of seeing things. He can gain the advantage of learning to view
events and approach problems and questions from various points of
view. He can discover that the interpretation of events and the relevance
of solutions and answers will vary greatly for diff"erent individuals and
groups.
To have its students achieve at least a minimal insight into this multi-
plicity of perspective, thought, and reaction, Lycoming College requires
that they select some of their courses from six groups of courses as out-
lined below. The aim is not the garnering of specific, prescribed infor-
mation, but rather, the development of a broadly based perspective of all
aspects of life.
FINE ARTS/ 15
The distribution requirements in freshman Enghsh, Mathematics,
Fine Arts, Natural Science, and History and Social Science may be met
by superior performance on the General Examinations of the College
Level Examination Program. Further information may be obtained from
the Office of the Registrar.
ENGLISH. All students are required to pass English I and one other
English course.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR MATHEMATICS. All studcnts are required to meet a
minimum basic requirement in cither a foreign language or mathematics.
Foreign Language. Students electing to take a foreign language may
choose from among French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Russian, or
Spanish. The student is required to pass two courses on the inter-
mediate 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 lan-
guage in high school shall be admitted to the elementary course in that
same language for credit, except by written permission from the chair-
man of the department.
Mathematics. Students electing mathematics must complete four
courses in mathematics. By passing proficiency examinations on the
content of Mathematics 1 and Mathematics 2, a student may reduce
this requirement to two other courses. These examinations are
normally offered during the Freshman Orientation Period.
RELIGION OR PHILOSOPHY. All studcuts are required to pass one year (two
courses in the same subject) in either philosophy or religion.
Philosophy. A student electing the philosophy option usually begins
with Philosophy 10 and usually selects a second course from among
those numbered 16 through 29.
Religion. The distribution requirement may be satisfied by completing
two religion courses, at least one of which must be 10, 13, or 14.
FINE ARTS. All students are required to pass one year (two courses) in
one of the following:
Art. Any two art courses will satisfy this requirement.
Literature. Students may elect one year (two courses) of literature in
the English Department from the courses numbered 20 or above, or
one year (two courses) of literature in the Department of Foreign
Languages and Literature from the courses numbered 33 or above.
16/NATURAL SCIENCE
Music. Any combination of music courses totaling the equivalent of
two full-unit courses (academic full-unit courses — Music 1 through 46
and Music 70s; or applied fraction unit courses — Music 60 through 69)
will satisfy this requirement. A student can earn the equivalent of two
full units in Music in one of the following ways:
1 . Take two full-unit academic courses from those numbered Music 1
through 46 and Music 70s,
2. Take a total of two full units of applied music, from courses
numbered Music 60 through 69, which are earned fractionally as
follows:
a. 1/10 unit per semester for one half hour of instruction per week
in courses numbered 60 through 66.
b. 2/10 unit per semester for one hour of instruction per week in
courses numbered 60 through 66.
c. 2/10 unit per semester for music 67, 68, or 69.
3. Take one full-unit academic course (Music 1 through 46 and Music
70s) plus the equivalent of one full-unit course (10/10) earned
fractionally in applied music courses 60 through 69 as explained in
"2" above.
Theatre. Any two theatre courses numbered 10 and above will satisfy
this requirement.
NATURAL SCIENCE. All studcuts are required to pass one year (any
two courses) in one of the following: biology, chemistry, or physics.

Sociology / Anthropology. Take Sociology 10 plus one other course.
Special Opportunities for Students
The changing nature o'i American education finds greater emphasis
than ever before upon the development of significant opportunities for
self-fulfillment among students. Pertinent educational goals demand that
every student shall be accorded an opportunity to pursue a program that
offers him the best chance to realize his intellectual potential. It is for this
reason, that Lycoming has developed a curriculum that allows a maxi-
mum flexibility 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
INDEPENDENT STUDY/ 17
selection does not always allow as completely individualistic a program
as one might wish. Therefore, a variety of Special Education opportuni-
ties is provided. Lycoming College cannot assume responsibility for the
health, safety, or welfare of any student while engaged in or enroute to or
from any off-campus studies or activities which are not under the ex-
clusive jurisdiction of this institution.
LYCOMING SCHOLAR 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 pro-
gram which allows (a) greater specialization or (b) more interdisciplinary
work than the regular curriculum permits.
A Lycoming Scholar may be elected in either of two ways:
1. 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, interviews, and faculty recommendations.
Each Lycoming Scholar will be assigned to a professor by the council.
Jointly, they will construct a college program suited to the needs of the
student. In general all curricular requirements, with the exception of
successful completion of thirty-two 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 program for any course; may take independent reading or research
courses; and will engage in special seminars conducted by members of
the Lycoming Scholar Council.
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. 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 op-
18/SEMlNAR STUDY
portunity to students to work independently. Upon consent of the de-
partment head, and the instructor, a student may register tbr courses in
Independent Study. Normally, the opportunity for such study is provided
for the better qualified 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 scvcral departments may from time to time find it
possible to organize small classes or seminars for exceptional students in-
terested in subjects or topics not usually a part of departmental course
offerings. Establishment of the seminar and admission of students de-
pends upon the approval oi' the department involved. Occasionally,
Visiting Professors, Lecturers, or Specialists in Residence will offer such
seminar studies. Students who are privileged to elect Seminar Study in
any department register 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 limited to ten students.
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS. When a studcnt desires to enter an Honors
program and secures departmental approval to apply, a faculty committee
shall be convened whose initial responsibility shall be to pass upon the
student's eligibility to enter the program. The committee responsibility
shall also include the direction of the study, and final evaluation of its
worth. 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
permanent record. In the event that the study is not completed success-
fully, the student shall be re-registered in Independent 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 academic experience equivalent to the normal four unit courses.
This program is open to selected students who have special interests in
INTERNATIONAL INTERCULTURAL STUDIES/ 19
political science, law and American government. Ordinarily, only junior
students are eligible.
WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL SEMESTER. Upon the 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 International Semester is
intended to provide a unique academic experience in international
affairs within the milieu of a major world capital.
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 academic experience equivalent to the normal 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 oper-
ated by Drew University in conjunction with many other American col-
leges. 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 equivalent to the normal four courses. Ordinarily,
only junior students are eligible.
OVERSEAS STUDIES OPPORTUNITIES. Under the auspices of approved
universities or agencies, a student has the opportunity to study abroad in
a foreign university. While overseas study seems particularly attractive to
students majoring in foreign languages, this opportunity is open to all
students. Mastery of the foreign language is not required in all programs.
A file of opportunities for overseas study is available from the Reference
Librarian or the faculty coordinator of overseas study opportunities.
INTERNATIONAL INTERCULTURAL STUDIES. Lycoming College is a parti-
cipating member of the Association of Colleges and Universities for
International Intercultural Studies (ACUIIS). The Association sponsors
college courses taught during the summer at the University of Graz.
Lycoming College students are eligible for participation in this pro-
gram which extends over approximately seven weeks of the summer.
Total cost for 1971 was $850.00 and included air fare, tuition, room,
field trips, laundry 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.
Accounting, Business, and Economics
Lycoming College offers course work in the field of business adminis-
tration 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
curriculum 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 communica-
tion, and to expose the 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 permissible within the curriculum and the student is encouraged to
pursue course work most rewarding to him. Three years of high school
mathematics are recommended for preparation. For specific require-
ments, refer to individual course areas.
20
COOPERATIVE CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING /2I
Preparation for Dental, Medical, or Veterinary School
The curriculum for pre-dental, pre-medical, and pre-veterinary studies
are all organized around a solid foundation of basic courses in biology,
chemistry'^ and physics. Students in any of the three programs usually
major in one of the natural sciences.
At least three years of undergraduate study is suggested before entry
into a college of dentistry, medicine, or veterinary medicine. However,
the more normal procedure is to complete the bachelor of arts degree
before entering the professional school. The student should consult the
catalog of the college of dentistry, medicine, or veterinary medicine to
which he expects to apply so that all courses required by that institution
may be included in his program at Lycoming College. Consistent with
the suggestions of these professional colleges, a wide range of subject
matter from the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts are included in
the programs. More information is available through the chairman of
the biology department.
Cooperative Curriculum in Engineering
Consistent with increased attention being given nationally to engi-
neering 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 University 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
4
22 /COOPERATIVE PROGRAM IN FORESTRY
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: Bucknel! University:
chemical, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering; The Pennsylvania
State University: aeronautical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical or
sanitary engineering.
Prescribed work at Lycoming includes, in addition to the degree re-
quirements 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 when his plans as to type of engineering program preferred
have been finally fixed. The Chairman of the Physics department will aid
each cooperative engineering student in planning his program.
Cooperative Program in Forestry
Professional and scientific programs of study in forestry for men and
women are offered in cooperation with the School of Forestry, Duke
University. The student spends three years in residence at Lycoming and
an additional five semesters at Duke. Upon satisfactory completion of
two semesters at Duke the student will have earned the A.B. degree from
Lycoming, and upon completing the remainder of the program will be
awarded either the M.F. or M.S. degree from Duke, depending upon the
nature of the program.
Candidates should indicate to the Admission's Oflfice that they wish to
enroll in the Forestry program. At the end of the first term of the third
year, Lycoming will recommend qualified students for admission to the
Duke School of Forestry. No application need be made to the School of
Forestry before that time.
Major fields of forestry at Duke are:
FOREST resource ADMINISTRATION FOREST SCIENCE
Forest Resource Management Forest Ecology
Forestry Business Management Forest Entomology
Forest Protection Forest Pathology
Forest Resource Economics Tree Physiology
and Policy Tree Biochemistry
Biometry & Statistics Dendrology & Wood Anatomy
Systems Analysis Forest Hydrology
Forest Meteorology
Forest Soils
COOPERATIVE CURRICULUM IN DRAMA/23
Students with interests in Forest Resource Administration are ad-
vised to elect a concentration in biology, business management, eco-
nomics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, or sociology. Indi-
viduals planning careers in Forest Science should strengthen their back-
grounds in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Typical pro-
grams in fields offered at Duke are available upon request from the Dean
of the School of Forestry. Duke University. Durham. North Carolina
27706. More information is available from the chairman of the Biology
Department.
Cooperative Curriculum in Drama
The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Lycoming College
each recognize appropriate courses given by the other institution. At
Lycoming an exception is made in the residency requirements for gradua-
tion (page 9). Normally, in the case of the transfer student who is a
graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and recom-
mended by them and who has completed two years successful study at an
accredited college or university, 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. The affiliation with the Academy permits a
graduating Lycoming senior to be eligible for advanced standing at the
Academy upon recommendation of the Lycoming College Theatre De-
partment Chairman and acceptance by the Academy. For information
contact the Theatre Department Chairman.
24/ preparation for law school
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 applies
for admission. Interested students should contact the Political Science
Department Chairman.
Medical Technology
This curriculum is organized around an academic background of basic
science courses in addition to those liberal arts courses listed as require-
ments 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 ob-
taining 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 col-
lege 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 American Society of Clinical Pathologists. An
official transcript of studies completed at the hospital must also be sub-
mitted by the candidate. Lycoming College has a formal affiliation with
Williamsport Hospital and Divine Providence Hospital m Williamsport
and also with Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre and Lancaster General
Hospital. Interested students should contact the Chemistry Department
Chairman.
Religious Education
Any student desiring extensive study in biblical history and literature,
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 psychology, education, and sociology. This program of
study, completely within the liberal arts curriculum, is to qualify gradu-
ates for work as Educational Assistants, or after graduate study in a
theological seminary, as Directors of Christian Education. Interested or
TEACHER EDUCATION /25
prospective students are invited to contact the Director of Religious
Activities for further information concerning the opportunities, respon-
sibihties and requirements of these and other church vocations.
Preparation for Theological Seminary
(Christian Ministry)
Young men and women called to the Christian ministry or related
vocations will find the pre-ministerial curriculum at Lycoming College
an exciting 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 Ly-
coming College. Such courses offer a wide range of subject matter pre-
senting many opportunities 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, English, 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.
1 he choice of electives will depend upon the specific requirements of the
theological school in which the student expects to matriculate. Interested
students should contact the Director of Religious Activities.
Teacher Education
Lycoming College trains teachers for elementary and for secondary
education. The program is clearly identified with the liberal 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. Interested students should contact the
Education department chairman for further information. Applications
for student teaching (Professional Semester) must be submitted to the
Education department on or before March 1 in the student's junior year.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Expenses
General Expenses For The Academic Year 1972-73
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 public treasury: independent colleges achieve this by voluntary con-
tributions 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 $1,050.00 per semester, plus certain fees which
are listed on the following pages. The room expense for boarding stu-
dents amounts to $250.00 per semester except for men living in the Fra-
ternity Residence, who are assessed an additional $25.00. Board is
$300.00 per semester (the academic year comprises two semesters of
approximately sixteen weeks each). If, for justifiable reason, it is impos-
sible 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 comprise four subjects each semester. If there should be a
considerable increase in the price of commodities and/or services during
any semester, the College reserves the right to make appropriate in-
creases in the charges for the following semester. Additional detailed in-
formation will be furnished by the Treasurer's Office upon request.
Application Fee and Deposit
All students applying for admission are required to send an application
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 appli-
cable to the general charges of his final semester in attendance (see page
5); it is not an extra fee. This deposit is not refundable when the student
fails to matriculate at Lycoming College.
26
PAYMENT OF FEES/27
BOOKS AND Supplies
A modern 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.

Payment of Fees
The basic fees for the semester are due and payable on or before regis-
tration day for that semester. Checks or money orders should be payable
to Lycoming College.
Charges for laboratory supplies and additional credit hours will be
billed and payable immediately following each registration period.
28 /PARTIAL PAYMENTS
Partial Payments
For the convenience of those who find it impossible to follow the
schedule of payments as listed, arrangements may be made with the
College Treasurer for the monthly payment of college fees through
various educational 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
withdrawal is approved and before any refund is made.
Room charges have been fixed on a semester basis. Consequently,
students leaving college prior to the ending of a semester will not be en-
titled to any refund of room charge.
Refund of tuition and board will be made to students who withdraw
voluntarily from the college while in good standing and is fixed on the
followmg basis: Students leaving during the first four-week period are
charged 30"o; during the second four weeks, 60 °o; during the third four
weeks. 90 °o; 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 certifi-
cation 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 oc-
curing. 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
Lycoming recognizes the problem of constantly increasing educational
costs and offers a substantial program of financial aid to assist those
needing help to attend an excellent private coeducational college.
No academically qualified student should hesitate to apply to Ly-
coming College solely because of financial need.
At Lycoming, we make every effort to assure that qualified students are
not barred due to their limited resources. Our financial aid office will
assist as many qualified students as funds permit.
Lycoming has five forms of financial aid: Scholarships — Loans —
Work Study Grants — Educational Opportunity Grants — Grants-In-Aid.
The establishment of need is the controlling factor in determining the
amount of any financial aid. A scholarship may be awarded on the basis
of financial need and academic ability, while a grant is given on the
basis of financial need alone. Long term, low cost educational loans are
available to most students who need them from Federal and State
sources. If your academic standing is satisfactory, a portion of your col-
lege expenses can be earned by part-time work. In order to qualify for
continued financial aid, a student must maintain both a satisfactory
academic average and a record of good citizenship.
Since financial aid can be extended to you only after you are accepted
for admission to Lycoming College, your first step is to apply for admis-
sion. Request an application, and any other information you need, from
Director of Admissions
Lycoming College
Williamsport, Pa. 17701
Your admission application must be submitted by March 1. You should
apply for financial aid as soon as possible after you apply for admission.

if a 3.0 cumulative average is maintained and financial need continues.
Grants-in-Aid
For students who can not qualify for scholarships, Lycoming has an
extensive program of grants-in-aid up to full tuition. Awards are based
on demonstrated need and the prospect of the student contributing
positively to the college community. Renewal requires continued
financial need, maintenance of satisfactory academic and citizenship
standards, and participation in college activities.
MiMSThKiAi, Grants-! n-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 excep-
tional financial need who are in good academic standing. These are

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 families. These federal grants are
available under the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Community Scholarships
in many communities there are local groups and foundations which
provide funds to help worthy students. Often there are also high school
awards available. Your guidance counselor and principal are the best
sources of information.
Education Financing Plans
In addition to direct financial aid described above, the Business Office
or the Student Aid Office will provide information, upon request, about
plans enabling parents to pay college expenses on a monthly basis.
Students interested in receiving financial aid are urged to contact the
Financial Aid Office for additional information.
Religious Life
Lycoming College provides a student with many opportunities to
mature in his faith through participation in the religious life of the
campus.
Through the office of the Director of Religious Activities, a varied
religious life program is maintained as needs arise. Presently, the Campus
Church has emerged. Worship services are conducted each Sunday on a
voluntary basis, and at other times such as Holy Week. The services of
worship are planned and conducted by students and include the use of
outside speakers as well as our own faculty and students. The worship
committee is appointed by the Campus Church Council; the governing
body is elected by the Campus Church.
The mission of the Campus Church is activated by the Campus Church
Council through activities such as retreats, service projects and study
groups. Next year two major, campus-wide study-worship-action forums
are planned.
The Director of Religious Activities also provides counseling service
each afternoon in his office in Clarke Chapel.
A part-time Roman Catholic chaplain assists the activities of the
Newman Club and maintains office hours in Clarke Chapel for coun-
seling purposes.
Interfaith activities are carried out through special committees ap-
pointed by the Director of Religious Activities in consultation with the
Roman Catholic Chaplain and other interested persons.

Student Activities
Lycoming accepts the responsibility of trying to make 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 encourage-
ment of as many different activities as are necessary to provide all stu-
dents 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.; social organizations; social activities; self-govern-
ing 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 respon-
sibilities, and to learn as they participate.
Student Government
Self-government by students in certain areas of campus life is an ob-
jective achieved through the Student Government Association of Lycom-
ing College. The Student Council is the legislative body of the Associa-
tion. 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 prob-
lems of campus community life and is participaMng actively in the formu-
32
STUDENT UNION/ 33
lation of policy and procedures. Recognized by the college as the legiti-
mate representative body of the students, the Student Council has been
responsible for the organization of the Lycoming College Advisory
Council which is composed of students, faculty, and administrators.
This committee considers basic issues within the college, makes recom-
mendations, 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 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. In addition to their own committees, students are
voting members of all appointed faculty committees. Students partici-
pate in almost all aspects of College governance and policy making, both
curricular and administrative.
Other governing groups on the campus are tne Inter-Fraternity Coun-
cil, the Men's Residence Halls Council, the Women's Residence Halls
Council, and the Associated Women Students. Each operates under
limited authority in situations related to its specific area.
Social and Cultural Influences
The rapidly changing interests of students requires a flexible program
which can be adapted to fulfilling the needs and objectives of both the
College and the students. Social situations, which formerly served to pro-
vide educational experiences for students are frequently out-dated with
every new class of students.
The College creates as many opportunities as possible to fulfill every
student's objectives. The intention is to make it possible for the student to
choose from among a variety of situations, so that no student's interests
or needs are ignored.
Student Union
The Student Union Board of Lycoming College is an advisory and
functional group of students who work with an Assistant Dean of Stu-
dents who is responsible for development of the activity and social pro-
gram. Students are selected for membership on the Board after they have
served a year in the Apprentice Program.
The Board's services to the campus include poster making and pub-
licity, a travel service, social programs, dances, lectures, concerts, pic-
nics, films, tournaments, recreational activities, bridge, life-saving
courses, coffee-hours, and intercollegiate events.
A laboratory for learning, the Student Union offers students an op-
portunity to learn while serving the campus.

Hall. This office is responsible for all aspects of student development,
except in the academic program and the business office auxiliary serv-
ices. The staff" consists of the Dean of Student Development and five
assistant Deans, each of whom live on campus and are available for
counseling and advising students with individual problems. In addition,
each staff" member is responsible for a functional assignment: Religious
Activities and Health Service, Organizational Life. Student Activities and
the Student Union. Housing, Career Counseling and Placement, and
Special Programs.
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 scheduling, 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
schedules six to eight orientation sessions each lasting two and one half
days during 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 registra-
tion. The college is able to work more satisfactorily with new students in
planning programs of study tailored to each student's vocational and
academic interests. Each new student completes all preliminaries, in-
cluding registration, 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.
Academic Advisement
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.
41
42/PERSONAL COUNSELING
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. Upperclass students who do not feel they need a
formally assigned adviser may assume the responsibility for meeting
their degree requirements without the aid of an adviser.
Personal Counseling
The Dean of Student Services and his assistants provide advisement
and counseling for students with emotional and adjustment problems.
Each member of the staff is qualified to give assistance of a nontherapeu-
tic type. Students with severe emotional disorders are referred to private
practitioners whose services are available in the community. When a
student uses the services of a private clinician in the community he is re-
sponsible for the payment of his own fees.
In addition to counseling on personal problems, vocational advisement
and limited testing services are provided through the staff of the Student
Services Office.
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 ofifeied at various times
during the academic year. Skilled instructors teach students how to im
prove 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
hisis. The charge rs $50.00. Information is sent to the students during the
summer.
Career Counseling and Placement Service
The Career Counseling and Placement Service offers assistance to all
students in the selection of appropriate career objectives and job place-
ment through the provision of information and counseling on an indi-
vidual basis, seminars on vocationally related topics, including the
RESIDENCE /43
preparation of resumes, interviewing techniques, self-evaluation tech-
niques, etc. The office will also work with the academic departments to
develop information on employment opportunities for a person majoring
in a particular subject field, and will cooperate with faculty in assisting
students who are planning for professional and graduate schools.
The Placement Office, located on first floor of Long Hall, assists the
student in each of the following areas:
1. Securing part-time employment on the campus and in the com-
munity
2. Providing information about graduate school programs, scholar-
ships, and assistantships
3. Offering information on vocational opportunities, employer litera-
ture, job interviews, government service, and other data helpful to
seniors
4. Providing information about summer job opportunities
5. The college maintains an active teacher placement service for each
education graduate. Each year many districts send representatives
to the campus to interview prospective elementary and secondary
teachers. Over 3500 positions in the eastern states are listed yearly
in the Education Office.
By providing on-campus interviews with selected employers recruiting on
college campuses and by sending student credentials to prospective em-
ployers, the Placement Office opens broader vocational opportunities to
graduates seeking employment.

Dry Cleaning Co. Information is sent to all resident students concerning
this service following their assignment to a room.
All students who do not have permission to live oflf-campus must sign
a room agreement form, agreeing to observe the rules and regulations for
resident students. Agreements will be sent to all freshmen following the
payment of their advance deposit. Upperclassmen will receive the agree-
ments and rules and regulations each Spring.
Because of the inability of the College to predict enrollments by sex,
it may be necessary to change assignments of halls, on occasion, from
women to men. The college reserves the right to do so whenever neces-
sary, and such change will not invalidate the room rental agreement.
Women's Residence
Resident women currently live in Rich Hall, Crever Hall, North Hall,
or Forrest Hall. Rooms are arranged in suites of two rooms with two or
three students living in each room. Each suite has private bath facilities.
Laundry facilities are located in all women's dormitories. Lounges are
located on the first floor of each residence hall.

Association of Lycoming College. They establish standards and regula-
tions for community living, in cooperation with the College student
personnel staff, and endeavor to assist each new student in her adjustment
to living in a college dormitory.
Men's Residence
Resident men currently live in Wesley Hall, Asbury Hall, Skeath Hall
and the Fraternity Residence. Upperclassmen have priority in assignment
of rooms. Rooms for freshmen are assigned according to the date the
room agreement form is returned to the housing office.
All rooms are for double occupancy. Rooms are furnished with a single
bed, pillow, desk, desk chair, and a dresser for each occupant. The furni-
ture is built into the room, and a light is provided over the desk. Window
shades are provided in all rooms. It is advisable to wait until after arriv-
ing on the campus to purchase draperies and bedspreads.

Standards of Conduc t
The college expects all of its students to accept the responsibility re-
quired of citizens in a free democratic society. The rules and regulations
of the college are designed to protect the rights of every member of the
community against encroachment by individuals. The limitations which
are imposed upon the activities of individuals are established for the
common good of the entire college community.
Students who are unable to demonstrate that they can accept this re-
sponsibility or are antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose of the
college, or fail to abide by the regulations established by the college may
be dismissed or requested to leave the college at any time. Further, at the
end of any term or semester the College may deny a student the privilege
of attendmg any subsequent term or semester when the administration
deems this to be in the best interests of the College. In addition to the
regulations published here, specific rules are furnished each student in the
Guidepost.
The consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on campus or at
any college function is prohibited. Detailed information regarding
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are published in the
Handbook of Rules and Regulations.
Lycoming College does not condone the illegal use of drugs by its stu-
dents. A detailed statement regarding the policy on drugs is published in
the Guidepost.
Gambling, cheating and stealing are totally inconsistent with Lycom-
ing standards. Students who cannot accept the prohibition of such be-
havior should not apply. Although the adherence to proper conduct is an
individual responsibility it is a group responsibility as well. It is encum-
bent on all Lycoming students that they prevail upon their fellow stu-
dents to conduct themselves honorably for the collective good.
It is assumed that a willingness to accept these restrictions is implicit in
the acceptance of membership in the Lycoming College community.
Automobiles
Resident students of the college who have automobiles or other motor
operated vehicles must register all such vehicles with the college. Parking
privileges on the campus are limited to those persons with registered
vehicles.
Firearms
No resident student may keep firearms, ammunition, or explosive de-
vices in the place of his residence or stored in an automobile on the cam-
pus. Facilities for storing firearms for hunting and target purposes are
available.
46/ RESIDENCE HALLS
Residence Halls
Residence hall students are responsible for the furnishings and the
condition of their rooms. The college reserves the right to enter and
inspect any of its property, or the property of a room resident for reasons
of damage, health, safety, or to determine whether violation of its rules or
the law are taking place or have occurred. Charges will be assessed for
damages to rooms, doors, furniture, and comrnonly used areas.
Residence hall students are expected to vacate their rooms during the
vacation periods when the halls are closed and not later than 24 hours
following their last examinations, except for graduating seniors.
Regulations regarding quiet hours for study are established by the
appropriate residence hall councils and are published in the Residence
Halls' Handbook and on the bulletin boards in the halls.
Room visitation by members of the opposite sex is permitted only in
the Men's Residence Halls during hours established by the College.
Room visitation in Women's Residence Halls is permitted only during

Office. Withdrawals are permitted during office hours.
Marriage
Students who change their marital status are requested to notify the
Office of Student Services prior to their marriage.
Married students may live in the college residence halls only with
special permission.
Health Services
Medical History and Physical Examination
Each student entering the college is required to submit a medical
history record and a physical examination form prior to arriving on the
campus. The parent or guardian of each student under 21 years of age
must sign the health record which authorizes the college health author-
ities to give emergency medical treatment according to good medical
practice. In the event an operation or other treatment is required for a
serious accident or illness, the College Physician will always secure prior
parental consent if the circumstances permit.
Exemption, for medical reasons, from participation in physical activity
associated with physical education may be granted only by the College
Physician. This exemption is based upon the medical history, report of
the student's physician, and a physical examination by the College
Physician.
Infirmary Service
The college maintains an infirmary, located in Rich Hall, which is
staffed with registered nurses twenty-four hours a day five days a week
and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend
service after 4:00 p.m. is available at the Williamsport Hospital Emer-
gency Room through the Emergency Care Physicians Association, at the
expense of the student. The College Physician is on call when needed.
Normal medical treatment by the Health Service Staff at the college
infirmary is free of charge. However, special medications, x-rays,
surgery, care of major accidents, immunizations, examinations for
glasses, physician's calls other than in the infirmary, referrals for treat-
ment by specialists, and special nursing service, etc., are not included in
the free infirmary service.
Accident and Sickness Insurance
All resident students are required to purchase the Accident and Sick-
ness Group Insurance Plan of the college for the academic year, unless
they can present evidence that they are covered under some other health
insurance program. Non-resident students may participate in the College
Group Insurance Plan on a voluntary basis. If a student becomes in-
eligible under another plan because of age, he must enter the college
program in the semester in which he loses his other coverage. The in-
surance plan will also be available for twelve-month coverage on a
voluntary basis for all students. Information concerning the plan and
its benefits will be sent to all students during the summer.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS
Established Interdisciplinary Majors (EIM)
ACCOUNTING/MATHEMATICS
CO-ORDINATOR— Assistant Professor Feldmann
The Accounting-Mathematics InterdiscipUnary Major is designed to
offer, within a Hberal arts framework, courses which will aid students
in constructing mathematical models for accounting decision making.
The student will obtain a substantial background in mathematics and a
working knowledge in accounting.
Majors will be only four courses short of a math major and three
courses short of an accounting major. Required courses in accounting
are: Elementary, Intermediate. Cost and Budgetary Accounting Theory.
In Mathematics they are: Analytic Geometry and Calculus I. II. and III;
and Modern Algebra II; plus two courses from Differential Equations,
Introduction to Numerical Analysis, and Mathematic Statistics I and II.
Business courses required are Legal Principles I and II. Recommended
courses include: Computer Science, Introduction to Statistics, Financial
Management. Statistics Applied to Business. Insurance. Principles of
Economics, Industrial Psychology, Social Psychology, and Introduction
to Sociology.
LITERATURE
CO-ORDINATOR — Associate Professor Maples
This major recognizes literature as a distinct discipline beyond national
boundaries and combines the study of any two literatures in the areas of
English. French. German, Russian, and Spanish. Students can thus
explore two literatures widely and intensively at the upper levels of
course offerings within each of the respective departments while develop-
ing and applying skills in foreign languages. The major prepares for
graduate study in either of the two literatures studied or in Comparative
Literature.
The major requires six literature courses beyond the survey level,
equally divided between the two literatures concerned. Beyond these six,
the major must include at least two additional courses from among those
either department designates as counting toward its departmental major.
Any prerequisite courses in the respective departments (for example:
English 20, 21, 34, 35; French 33; German 33. 34; Russian 33, 34;
Spanish 33, 34, 35, 36) should be taken during the Freshman and
Sophomore years. In general, two of the major courses in each depart-
ment should be period courses. The third course, taken either as a regular
58
SOVIET AREA STUDIES/ 59
course or as independent study, may have as its subject another period;
a particular author, genre, or Hterary theme; or some other unifying
approach or idea. Students should design their program in consultation
with a faculty member from each of the literatures concerned. Programs
for the major must be approved by both departments.
NEAR EAST CULTURE AND ARCHEOLOGY
CO-ORDINATOR — Assistant Professor Lutz
The Near Eastern Culture and Archeology interdisciplinary major is
designed to acquaint the student with the "cradle of Western civilization",
both in its ancient and modern aspects. Majors will complete a minimum
of eight to ten unit courses related to the Near East.
Required courses are described in their departmental sections and
include:
1. Three courses (semesters) in language and culture from:
A. Old Testament Faith and History (Religion 13)
B. Religions of the World — Islam and Judaism (Religion 24)
C. History and Religion of the Ancient Near East (Religion 26)
D. Culture of the Ancient Near East (Religion 27)
E. Advanced Old Testament Topics (Religion 36)
F. Judaism and Christianity in the New Testament (Religion 40)
G. Two semesters of foreign language (Hebrew 11, 12; or independ-
ent study of related Semitic languages.)
2. Two courses (semesters) in archeology from:
A. Palestinian Archeology (Religion 46)
B. Field Palestinian Archeology (Religion 47)
C. Advanced Palestinian Archeology (Religion 48)
3. Two courses (semesters) in related departments, such as: Art.
History, Political Science, Religion, and Sociology-Anthro-
pology. These two courses, usually taken in the Junior or Senior
years, can be independent study. Topics should be related either
to the ancient or the modern Near East and must be approved in
advance by the committee supervising the interdisciplinary study.
Other courses may be required by the supervisory committee but not
beyond requiring ten courses in the major. The number of courses taken
within this program applicable toward fulfilling the College distribution
requirements will vary according to the selection of courses made by
the student.
SOVIET AREA STUDIES
CO-ORDINATOR — Assistant Professor Winston
The Soviet Area Studies major is an interdisciplinary major designed
to offer, within the framework of a liberal arts education, intensified
60/INDIVlDUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS (IIM)
Study of the Soviet Union, communism, and related matters. The pro-
gram enables the student to acquire a broader perspective of the USSR
than can generally be obtained within one discipline.
Required courses are described in their departmental sections and
include:
1. Six semesters of Russian language and/or literature beyond the
elementary level.
2. Topics in Russian and Soviet History (History 46 and 47).
3. Two courses (semesters) of Senior Seminar on the USSR.
4. Four courses (semesters) from:
Comparative Economic Systems (Economics 23)
Government of the Soviet Union (Political Science 36)
Foreign Policy of the Soviet Union (Political Science 37)
Social and Political Philosophy (Philosophy 22)
Modern Revolutions (History 36)
Under this program, up to nine courses required to satisfy the college
distribution requirements can be completed from the above courses.
Individual Interdisciplinary Majors (IIM)
REGISTRAR — Mr. Glunk
Any student eligible to apply for a major may apply for an inter-
disciplinary major to the Committee on Interdisciplinary Majors via the
Registrar, who will provide a copy of the Guidelines For Interdisciplinary
Majors and the other necessary forms.
Individual Interdisciplinary majors normally involve two or more
departments which each already offer a major. An IIM is normally
comprised of a minimum of ten courses beyond those satisfying the
distribution requirements. If the IIM involves departments not included
in meeting the distribution requirements, then the ten courses may
include elementary courses usually used to satisfy distribution require-
ments. However, the student is expected to take at least six courses at
the advanced (junior or senior) level as determined in consultation with
his advisors. Changes in this set of courses comprising the major, which
may be desired or needed as the student progresses, must be authorized
by the Committee on Interdisciplinary Majors.
An IIM student is advised by a committee composed of one professor
from each department involved. The student chooses the chairman who
functions as the advisor of record, maintains the student's records, etc.
The Committee on Interdisciplinary Majors must certify the successful
completion of the IIM for graduation. The student's transcript will show
Interdisciplinary major in (Departments), for example: Interdis-
ciplinary major in Urban Studies (History, Psychology, Sociology).
ACCOUNTING

48 Senior Seminar
Each semester a section of the senior seminar will be offered, led on each occasion by a
different faculty member, the two sections for each year being basically similar in
content and approach. The core reading for the course will be determined at the end of
the previous year by the juniors in consultation with the Department, and as far as
possible will represent the broad spectrum of English and American literature. The
primary responsibility for the seminar will rest with the students: faculty will be super-
visors rather than teachers, and not necessarily experts on any given work.
Majors in English will be expected to know the works in advance — either through
course work or summer reading. The seminar will consider kinds of critical approaches
to these works and will demand further reading, as well as reports by the students. A
work may be considered in its historical context (political, philosophical, occasional
background); in the context of other works by the author (for both thematic and
formal comparison) ; in the context of other works of the same period ; and in the con-
text of the entire spectrum of English and American literature for structural and
generic studies. Concurrently the student will become acquainted with examples of
practical and theoretical criticism which exemplify these various approaches.

The study of philosophy develops a critical understanding of the basic
concepts and presuppositions around which we organize our thought in
science, religion, education, morality, the arts, and other human enter-
prises. A major in philosophy, together with appropriate related courses,
can provide an excellent preparation for policy-making positions of
many kinds, for graduate study in several fields, and for careers in educa-
tion, law. and the ministry. The major consists of eight courses, including
Philosophy 30-31 and 35, normally taken in the Junior year. In addition
to the courses listed below, special courses and individual studies are
available — recent topics include: existentialism, Plato's ethics, philos-
ophy in literature, metaethics. and Schopenhauer.
