Stephen Scanniello:
Life Is A Bed Of Roses
by Kathleen Yorty Thach
For the past three years, life for Stephen Scanniello '78
has been a bed of roses.
Strike that.
For the past three years, life for Stephen Scanniello 78 has
been a one-acre rose garden with 15 rosebeds and borders con-
taining nearly 6,000 rosebushes of over 1000 varieties.
Scanniello is rosarian for the nation's finest and most complete
collection of American roses, the Cranford Rose Garden in New
York City's Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Started 60 years ago with
funds donated by Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Cranford, the garden
was designed to be what some have called an 'animated text-
book', a place where learning and enjoyment blend in beauty.
As rosarian, Scanniello oversees the care of the roses from
planting to cultivating to fertilizing, pruning, weeding and
watering. There are times when it's a hands-on experience. In
fact, on his way to becoming rosarian in January of 1985, he
worked for a while as an instructor in the Children's Garden and
then as a gardener on the grounds crew responsible for the entire
52-acre Brooklyn Botanic Garden. He operated a back hoe,
removed tree stumps and dug ditches. Fortunately, the feel of
thorns (as he practiced for his pruning test) and the smell of fer-
tilizer (as he trucked in 50 tons of cow manure) have not
diminished his love for roses.
But no need to feel sorry for Scanniello. There is a glamorous
side to a rosarian's life as well. Consider, for one thing, how he
has worked along side the best landscape artists in planning the
city gardens of celebrities and politicians, and, for another, how
he gets h * glon in rave re\ lews ol rose-lovers w titers and garden
critics.
Scanniello seems to have found
the perfect job for someone who— for
as long as he can remember— has
had a fondness for growing things.
"The roses will fairly overpower you with their profusions of
color and scent."
". . . (the roses') vigor and diversity . . . make the finest display
that you are likely to see anywhere."
Then, too, the Cranford Garden's Annual Rose Day (when
"members only" get to enjoy the garden, lunch and a guest
speaker) can be a pretty glorious time for the rosarian-in-charge.
Scanniello's first Rose Day reinforced what experience has
already proved— that hard work and stress are indeed part and
parcel of even the more glamorous aspects of his job.
It was raining, he remembers, and he had to clean the
walkways. His nervousness mounted as he was introduced to the
donor's nephew. The awareness of his own inexperience became
painful as the former rosarian— who had been at the Gardens for
25 years— kept close watch over him. Only after the former
rosarian took Scanniello aside and said, "You've got it" could
Scanniello begin to enjoy the event.
With growing experience and proven performances have come
opportunities to travel to Europe, Bermuda and many cities
across the United States to talk about roses— from how-to

perience has already proved— that

seminars on selection, care and feeding to educational lectures
on the history of the rose. He's been invited to speak at rose con-
ventions, schools and garden clubs. And, because education is
his focus, that brings him almost as much satisfaction as the
roses themselves.
Education, he explains, has been the focus of the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden since it was built on the site of a city garbage
dump.
Scanniello shares the philosophy of Harold Rhys Caparn, the
landscape architect who designed the original gardens, so he has
had no difficulty in remaining faithful to the basic plans. The
original design of The Cranford Rose Garden included the use of
15 rosebeds to illustrate the development of the rose, from the
first China roses and tea roses brought from southern China to
Europe in the late 1700s to early hybrid perpetuals to floribundas
and grandifloras. The perimeter of the garden was planted with
original roses and old garden roses. Climbers and ramblers were
trailed up double arches on either side of the garden.
In researching the history of his garden, Scanniello was sur-
prised to discover that Caparn also had an LVC connection. It
was Caparn who provided landscape designs for the Lebanon
Valley College campus in the late '20s.
In American Landscape Architect for a December 1930 article
entitled "Scientific and Decorative Principles in a Botanical
Laboratory" and subtitled "A Detailed Study of the Plantings for
the Grounds of the Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Penn-
sylvania," Caparn presented a detailed list of plants and a sketch
of the campus. He opened the article with the following
description:
"Lebanon Valley College has a campus that covers about
eleven and a half acres in the middle of the town of Ann-
ville, Pennsylvania. Five large buildings and several
smaller ones are arranged to front along the enclosing
streets so as to enclose an interior open space of several
acres. It will be seen at once that this plan lends itself well
to the display of the buildings themselves, and to the
development of a good frame or setting of planting.
"Biological science is the chief subject of the curriculum.
Professor S. Hoffman Derickson is much interested in
botany and plant genetics and in carrying the educational
influence beyond the classroom. In the preliminary
discussion of the general planting problem, the writer sug-
gested that it might be possible to work out such a plan of
plant arrangement as that of the systematic section of the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, though on a much smaller and
simpler scale . . ."
Scanniello seems to have found the perfect job for someone
who— for as long as he can remember— has had a fondness for
growing things: a vegetable garden in quadrants in the backyard

of his boyhood home in River Edge, New Jersey; his grand-
parents' open garden, known to the seven Scanniello kids as
"the farm"; seeds he sold when elementary school age; the forget-
me-nots that grew by the pond at Kreiderheim; the beefsteak
begonia and cactus plants purchased from the LVC Auxiliary to
brighten up his freshman dorm.
But the perfect job didn't simply come to Scanniello when he
graduated from Lebanon Valley College. In fact, a career in his
field didn't seem so bright for the biology major. At first he took
odd jobs where he could find them. For a time he was an ap-
prentice in an art department and did part-time work as a
photographer. He also studied photography part-time at the
Manhattan School of Visual Arts, contemplating the possibility of
a career in nature photography. Nothing really satisfied him, so
when given the opportunity to take a job for Meadox Chemicals,
he took it. "Out of desperation," he says. At last he had a biology-
related position. Suturing sections of human umbilical cords
together to be used as prosthetic lower leg artery replacements.
A year later, when he learned through an educator of a staff
opening at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, he didn't let the
memory of his dad's warning to stay out of Brooklyn stand in his
way. He interviewed for the position on his 26th birthday and
was hired the following week. He worked first as an instructor in
the children's greenhouses, where hundreds of city children
learn about plants by planting. Then he became a traveling in-
structor, teaching three classes per day in hospitals and institu-
tions to children who couldn't come to classes at the Children's
Center.
"It was a depressing experience," he says. "But it was a fulfill-
ing experience. Children who wouldn't communicate with
anyone . . . became your friend by the end of the program."
He left the children with a living plant and, in many cases,
new reasons for hope.
For Stephen Scanniello, the
future looks rosey.
Today, Scanniello is using a variety of other ways to educate
and inspire with roses. He stars in a 45-minute video, "For the
Love of Roses: A Year in the Life of a Rosarian", released last
November and sold through seed catalogs and video stores. He's
working on the publication of a book. About roses, of course. He
has become an apprentice judge for The American Rose Society.
And he's working with the Lebanon Vallev College alumni office
on an alumni weekend program centered around the theme
"Everything's Coming Up Roses."
It's too tempting to not say it. For Stephen Scanniello, the
future looks rosey.

//
The Tailor"
by Kathleen Y. Thach
Mention the Class of '27, and the first name to pop into
mind may well be Sammy "the Tailor" Clark. Active in
the Alumni Association for more years than most peo-
ple can remember, a class agent and community leader, Sammy
has been invaluable to Lebanon Valley College.
One may wonder why he is so persistent in his efforts to build
up the Alumni Scholarship Fund, for example, or to get his
classmates to support the college in financial and service areas.
But when the account of his student days at LVC is told, the
wonderment ceases.
Sammy remembers coming to the Valley as a "poor, lonely
Jewish boy" in an Evangelical United Brethren environment. But
before his first year was over, he earned the respect and love of
students and staff .
Initially, because the food wasn't kosher, Sammy never ate in
the college dining rooms. Then, to his amazement, the cook ap-
proached him about the matter one day and offered to drive to
Harrisburg to procure the food and cooking utensils required to
prepare his food. "Just give me a list," he instructed.
Have a hearty belly laugh daily
even if it is against yourself ... let
the complaining for others, enjoy
every second of the day
"I went to my room and thought about what this man was
willing to do just for me," Sammy says as he remembers the in-
cident. The next day he went back to the kitchen and told the
cook that he had decided he could make some compromises
himself. He would simply eat what he could from the menu
shared by all students. Eating in the dining room helped
eliminate some of his feelings of aloneness. But he still faced
financial problems.
Having had experience working for a Lebanon tailor, Sammy
decided to offer to press clothes for students, for a small charge,
and he would use the money to help pay for his education. All
was going well with his dorm room pressing business until a
fellow student turned him in to college authorities for using the
college's electricity to make a profit.
Called before a faculty member Sammy now refers to fondly as
"the prosecutor," Sammy pleaded his cause.
"What uses more electricity?" he asked. "My iron or the irons
the students use to press their own clothes."
"How much do you charge for suits? the Prosecutor asked.
"Fifty cents," the Tailor replied.
The Prosecutor paused only briefly, then responded, "I'll bring
you three tomorrow."
And the case was closed .
Sammy "The Tailor"
Clark '27 keeps up with
the latest adventures of
world-traveling class-
mates and continues his
efforts to build up the
Alumni Scholarship
Fund.
But pressing pants didn't always bring inenough money to pay
for his college expenses. At one point when he just could not pay
his weekly bill, he went to the bursar to inform him Sammy
Clark would have to drop out of college.
The bursar listened empathetically and declared the debt to be
a grant.
Today, Sammy keeps in contact with fellow members of the
Class of '27. He keeps informed on the latest adventures of such
world travelers as Madeline Mark Colman, Roy Mouer, Myra
Sheaffer White, Bernetha Strickler Wright and others. He sor-
rows with those in ill health and those who — like Sammy— have
lost a mate. And through it all, he encourages everyone to "have
Faith . Obey doctor's orders . . ."
"Have a hearty belly laugh daily, even if it is against yourself . . .
let the complaining for others, enjoy every second of the day."
And he practices what he preaches. A typical day finds him
rising early to attend a prayer service and have breakfast with
friends. He also spends a few hours doing volunteer work as a
treasurer in the office of the Lebanon County Historical Society,
and he attends committee meetings at his synagogue.
Sammy proves his own philosophy: "Getting physically old
does not mean that you must get mentally or psychologically
old."

From Africa to Annville
by Edna J. Carmean
Born in Sierra Leone, West Africa (the year uncertain), "Lennv
the Leopard" was given to LVC in 1922 by Dr. William N.
Martin '18 when he returned from a mission in Africa. Since ar-
riving on campus, Lenny has become famous for his "travels."
A biology major at LVC, William Martin had served as
assistant to the department head, Dr. Samuel H.
Derickson. It was Dr. Derickson who persuaded him to
go to the mission field in Sierra Leone, West Africa. He went
there in 1919 and staved for seven years. He had two special pro-
jects: one, to research the fears and superstitions of the native
people, and two, to establish science training at Albert Academy,
the mission school of the United Brethren Church in Freetown.
(Since the church merger in 1968, Albert Academv has continued
under the sponsorship of the United Methodist Church.)
Once in Africa, Martin soon gained the confidence of the
natives and thev accompanied him for manv miles on trips to
visit tribes in the interior. In 1922, thev turned to him for help in
a crisis. Their lives were in danger. Leopards had been seen. In
one village, leopards had taken all the dogs and now the people
were afraid for the lives of their children and old people.
An experienced hunter in his Pennsylvania boyhood, Martin
met the challenge. He loaded his rifle, a Marlin 38-55, and
started up the trail. The entire staff and student body of the
Academv, about a hundred people, followed him— but at a
respectful distance. Martin walked slowly, warily, rifle at the
ready. The leopard suddenly appeared on the trail ahead of him
and charged. Martin shot through his open mouth. The bullet
knocked off half of the left killer fang and emerged from the back
of his neck. The animal fell dead and the audience surged
forward .
The Creole hunters wanted to sacrifice the carcass, nose to tail,
to appease the Old Chief, who they believed had returned as a
leopard. The Academy boys protested the sacrifice and thev
settled for a barbeque and the first Leopard Prayer Meeting. The
animal weighed at least 150 pounds. In his stomach was found:
one quart of Anteater scales, four hoofs of a Duiker (a small
antelope), and a dog collar with a little bell attached. One mother
cried when seeing the collar and said, "The leopard caught him
at my front door step."

Who's Got Lenny?
The following "cat tales" were submitted by two alumni
who were willing to come clean about "thefts of the
leopard" now that the Statute of Limitations has long since
passed.
. . . from David J. Padley '68
"I read your article on Lenny the Leopard in the recent
edition of The Valley with great interest. It reminded me of
one of Lenny's great adventures twenty years ago during
the school year of 1965/1966. I was living in the infamous,
and now long gone, Penway Apartments on Main Street
with my two roommates, Bill Hohenshelt and Jim Duke,
when Lenny escaped from his glass cage in the science
building and began his travels.
Lenny was gone for several months during which he
sent letters to the college paper telling of his travels. Sud-
denly, one evening he appeared at our apartment and ask-
ed our help in returning to his cage. He said that he had a
wonderful time but he missed all his friends at LVC. Of
course we agreed, so Bill, Jim, and I helped Lenny return
to his cage.
Lenny promised not to tell anyone who helped him
return to his cage that night and to the best of my
knowledge he kept that promise all these years. Since the
"Statute of Limitation" has now long passed, the truth can
now be told. I will be anxious to hear of other adventures
of my good friend Lenny."
. . . from Allen J. Koppenhaver '53
In any case, it began with Dr. Struble's American Lit
class. We were reading Poe's "The Black Cat" in which a
man, one of Poe's "driven" people, is tormented by a black
cat which he eventually, in a drunken rage, hangs by the
neck on a tree outside his house. Well, that night we had a
thick fog settle that was still there the next morning when
I got up to go over to work in the kitchen for breakfast. We
still had North Hall, the women's dorm and dining hall
downstairs. The campus had a large inner circle walkway
from the Men's Dorm to North to the Conservatory to the
Ad Bldg, and the usual lamp posts all around. On this
particular morning there was a dead cat hanging on each
of the posts, and those of us walking saw them one by one
through the fog on the way to breakfast. I should hasten to
say that the cats were "borrowed" from the Bio Lab where
they were kept in formaldehyde for dissection, so no one
lost a cat that night.
The piece de resistance, however, was Lenny. He had
also been borrowed and placed on the top step of the
porch of North Hall so that as we came to breakfast in the
fog, half awake, we'd start up the steps and there was Len-
ny looking as if he were ready to pounce. The perpetrators
had moved him back just far enough so that you couldn't
see the wooden stand. Needless to say, we were quite
awake for breakfast that particular morning. Does anyone
want to admit to the deed now that the statute of limita-
tions is past?"
Just who was in on this cat caper?
As recently as the early 80's, Lenny was spirited from
the College Center at 1:00 a.m. for a ride in a Dodge Dart
(doors open). He was missing a few weeks, but eventually
returned. Rumor has it that this kidnapping included
students, administrators and faculty.

Leopard! Leopard! travelin' light
'Cross the campus in the night
What immortal hands would try
To steal thy fearful symmetry?
From what dim and dusty lair
Do your eyes, now glassy, stare?
On what wings did you escape?
Who would dare to seize thy gape?
And what shoulders, or what dart,
Could come in stealth, and then depart?
And why thy place so empty leave?
Oh Lenny! Many sorely grieve.
What's the difference? What's to gain?
Lenny, please come home again.
What, in Annville? What dread group
Helped you, Lenny, fly the coop?
When the stars throw down their spears
And LVC is drenched in tears
Will they smile, their work to see,
Culprits one or two or three?
Leopard! Leopard! travelin' light
'Cross the campus in the night
What immortal hands would try
To steal thy fearful symmetry?
By A. Nonymous,
With apologies to William Blake
Because women were considered weak and inferior beings, the
natives believed that all leopards were male. Martin killed five
leopards in all and Number Three was undeniably a female, so
that superstition was laid to rest. After the five beasts were
destroyed, no more leopards were seen. The community was
safe, dogs re-appeared, and William Martin was hailed as a
savior. He had truly delivered the natives from evil.
It is not clear when the LVC leopard acquired the name
"Lenny". Martin referred to him as "Number One." Because of
admiration for his mentor, Dr. Derickson, Martin made a gift of
Number One to the College. Having taken a course in taxidermy
before going to Africa, Martin knew just how to proceed. He
took careful measurements of the animal from head to toe before
skinning it. Then he shipped the hide and the measurements to
Annville. It was mounted in Williamsport by Fred Beck of the
Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Dr. Derickson was delighted with the gift. As a result, he
wrote an article for The Evangel entitled, "Saving Souls with a
High Power Rifle."
The biology department maintained the Tyrone Biological
Museum under the skylight in the middle of the third floor in
the Administration Building, and Lenny became the centerpiece
of the exhibit. Generations of LVC students saw him standing
there.
One morning in the Spring of 1939, there was a large vacant
spot in the museum. Lenny was gone. There was great conster-
nation within the biology faculty and the administration. Presi-
dent Clyde A. Lynch was incensed at the effrontery of the
thieves. The next evening, special precautions were taken. Hans,
the night watchman, was posted outside the museum door,
where he sat all night. In the morning, early-rising students were
gleeful at the sight of a big-horned sheep's head (also from the
campus museum) perched on the peak of the heating plant roof.
The President's anger over the "kidnappings" was expressed
forcefully and he was rewarded by a series of post cards from
Lenny coming from different points in the state. Cards were also
sent to the Lebanon Daily News and the affair became a matter
of community amusement.
Lenny finally reappeared. He was discovered one dark night
on the steps of the Lebanon Post Office at the corner of Eighth
and Chestnut Streets. It was reported that a startled patrolman
drew his gun as he approached the menacing object and held the
animal at bay for a split second before the realization hit home.
The biology department main-
tained the Tyrone Biological
Museum under the skylight in the
middle of the third floor in the
Administration Building, and
Lenny became the centerpiece of
the exhibit.
No one has ever confessed publicly to this caper, but a few facts
came to us through the grapevine. The watchman outside the
museum door was too much of a challenge to ignore. It is said
that a small group of daring "cat burglars" climbed stealthily to
the roof of the Ad Building. They held one hardy volunteer by
the heels and dangled him through the skylight into the
museum. There he snatched what was within his grasp, the big-
horned sheep head. It was then child's play to mount it on the
roof of the heating plant.
The students marked the end of the episode when Phi Lambda
Sigma (Philo) held a "poverty dance" (Remember the Depres-
sion?) celebrating "Tabby's" return to campus.
There were at least two more kidnappings of Lenny in subse-
quent years, but none achieved the drama of the original. As a
souvenir, he was heavy and hard to conceal. He always came
back none the worse for his travels.
Dr. Martin, who returned to Sierra Leone in 1985, said, "I
staved in a modern eight-storv hotel built where I shot leopards in
the 1920's, and we flew over the interior where we had research-
ed on foot trails."
Lenny now stands defiantly in the Snack Bar of the College
Center in a handsome glass cage, a gift from the Palmyra Rotary
Club.
One may fancy that he also dreams of those wild and free
days in the jungle.

death. Three days later, Leo Frank,
superintendent of the pencil factory where
Mary Phagan worked, was arrested for her
murder.
NBC aired a special mini-series "The
Murder of Mary Phagan" on January 24 and
26 which starred Jack Lemmon.
Frank's trial took place in an atmosphere of
anti-Semitism and racial tension. He was
convicted and sentenced to death on the
testimony of a black janitor, who himself was
a suspect of the crime. After Georgia Gover-
nor John Slaton commuted Frank's death
sentence in 1915, a lynch mob abducted Frank
from his jail cell and hung him from the
branch of a tree.
After the lynching came the rebirth of the
Ku Klux Klan and the formation of te Anti-
Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith. A
witness finally came forth in 1982 and gave
new evidence on the murder that he had
withheld for almost 70 years. Four years later,
Frank was formally exonerated of the crime
by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and
Paroles.
The tense atmosphere that surrounded ths
event is vividly recalled in the Frey's account.

Alumni News Continued
Coming Home To LVC
In 1987 manv graduates returned to the
Lebanon Valley for reunions with friends
made during their college years. For some, it
was an on-campus reunion during Alumni
Weekend or Homecoming. For others— like
the "Consery Class of 1947"— it was an off-
campus reunion.
The Conservatory ('47)
Reunion
August 1987 Lancaster, PA
Reported bv organizers Harold and Evelyn
Spitler Wild and Paul and Sara Schott Fidler.
"It seems altogether fitting and proper to
recognize here the 'Conserv' Seniors who
have exhibited so fine a feeling of unity, with
plenty of originality, superb enthusiasm, and
a vim and vigor admired bv all. Besides be-
ing adequate performers in the 'Conserv,'
they had numerous 'get-togethers,' most
outstanding of which was their four-day trip
to New York City."
-The Quittapahilla 1948
That feeling of unity and togetherness has
prevailed and intensified through the forty
vears since our graduation. And it has
resulted in many reunions, particularly in re-
cent years. The most recent reunion took
place last August. Classmembers and their
spouses met in Lancaster's First United
Methodist Church where they renewed
friendships and shared reminiscences before
going through a vigorous choir rehearsal
directed by Paul Fisher. The rehearsal was in
preparation for their part in the worship ser-
vice to be held the next day.
The music provided by the class during the
Sunday morning worship service at First
United Methodist Church included a solo bv
J. Ross Albert, worship responses and two
anthems. But the most meaningful and emo-
tional aspect of the two-dav reunion was the
singing of the benediction always used by the
LVC Glee Club, "The Lord Bless You" and
Keep You" by Peter Lutkin.
A banquet at the new Willow Valley Con-
ference Center south of Lancaster was another
feature of the reunion. The program included
a mind-bending trivia quiz (administered bv
Harold Wild) on the extra-curricular activities
of classmembers during their senior year, an
inspirational talk by John Rauch, husband of
Betty June Gingrich Rauch, and a time of
silence in memory of deceased classmembers
Kenneth Fidler, Mildred Emerick Humphrey
and J. Richard Phillips.
Attending the reunion were: J. Ross Albert,
Kate Albert Heckard, Betty Jean Butt Fiorello,
Carl Derr, Helen Dickel Sandrock, Gladys
Flinchbaugh Slenker, Betty June Gingrich
Rauch, Richard Immler, Nancv Johns
Nevins, Barbara Kolb Beittel, Wayne L.
Mowrey, Marian Schade Stauffer, Arlene
Schlosser Keller and Franklin Unger.
Elementary Education
Homecoming '87
Blair Music Center
The elementary education department has
been holding alumni open houses since 1964.
June Herr, associate professor emerita, has
been the coordinator of these get-togethers
and continues to correspond with each
graduate. This year 35 graduates from New
Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania attended
the Homecoming Open House and another
54 (from Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey,
Colorado, Florida, Rhode Island, and
Georgia) sent letters and cards expressing
regrets in not being able to attend and thanks
to June Herr for her faithful correspondence
through the years. Manv graduates credit
LVC and June Herr for success and satisfac-
tion in their careers.
Math Department Reunion
Homecoming '87 at Hearsey's
More than eighty people attended the math
department open house at the home of Pro-
fessor Bryan Hearsev following the
Homecoming game between Susquehanna
and LVC. Included were approximately forty
graduates of the department and six mem-
bers of the mathematical sciences faculty.
A similar event is planned for next year.

Lois Lehrman Grass
Receives 1988 Founders Day
Award
Dr. William J. McGill, Acting President, congratulates
Lois Lehrman Grass, the recipient of the 1988 Founders
Day Award presented during the annual service held to
celebrate the founding ot LVC in 1866. The College will
celebrate its 125th Anniversary in 1991.
Dr Bernard C. Watson (left), president i
based William Penn Foundation, was guest speaker tor
Founders Dav His address focused on the importance of
individual voluntary efforts and private philanthropy in
America. Here, Watson is being interviewed by WLBR
radio of Lebanon.
1988's Founders Day award was presented
to Lois Lehrman Grass, a generous benefac-
tress and tireless volunteer in Harrisburg, PA,
at a celebration on campus Tuesday, February
23.
Speaker at the annual celebration was
L>. Bernard C. Watson, president and CEO of
the William Penn Foundation, Philadelphia,
PA.
Grass is well-known in the Harrisburg
community for her personal dedication to
volunteer work. She has sacrificed countless
hours to assist a multitude of Harrisburg-area
organizations, from health-care institutions to
groups that promote the arts.
In the aftermath of floodwaters that
devastated Harrisburg in 1972 and left many
elderly persons helpless, Grass helped con-
ceive the "Jewish Meals on Wheels" cam-
paign to provide senior citizens with food
meeting Jewish dietary laws. The program
was such a success that it has been made a
permanent service of the United Jewish
Federation.
One of Grass' best-known gifts to the com-
munity, the Rose Herman Lehrman Arts
Center of Harrisburg Area Community Col-
lege, is named for her mother, Rose
Lehrman.
Her generous donations also provided for
construction of the N.C.J.W. Research In-
stitute at Hebrew University's School of
Education; a Clinical Research Wing for the
Hadassah Hospital Institute of Onocology in
Jerusalem; and a clubhouse for discharged
mentally retarded patients on behalf of Har-
risburg's Aurora Club.
Grass currently serves as chairperson of
the Greater Harrisburg Foundation and
Metroarts' Sky Theatre project and is a board
member of Allied Arts.
Among the other organizations she has
served are the Hamilton Health Center,
Neighborhood Day Care Center, Dauphin
County Mental Health/Mental Retardation of-
fice, Jewish Community Center, Ohev
Sholom Reform Temple and the Tri-County
Council on Alcoholism.
She studied at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn
Mawr, and is a 1949 graduate of The Ethel
Walker School, Connecticut. She has four
children, Roger, Martin, Linda Grass Shapiro
and Elizabeth Grass Weese, and six
grand-children.
Sports Center Opened
February 19
The Edward H. Arnold Sports Center,
under construction since April, 1987, opened
February 19 for students and college staff.
The Center will primarily be used for
recreational and intramural purposes for the
student body as well as intercollegiate
volleyball competition.
The main section of the building contains
interchangeable basketball, volleyball and ten-
nis courts surrounded by a 200-meter track. It
also will house offices, a second-floor obser-
vation deck and a concession stand. Most of
the college's intercollegiate teams will con-
tinue to use the Lynch Gymnasium.
A feature story on the facility will run in
the upcoming Fall issue of The Valley.
Three LVC studenLs immediately took advantage of the
new 200-meter indoor track in the Arnold Sports Center
arena The interior includes space for basketball, tennis
and volleyball.

LVC in Top Ten Percent
LVC ranked 82 of 1200 of the nation's liberal
arts colleges producing graduates who earn
the doctoral degree. The rankings were
released recently in a study by Todd C. Han-
son of Randolph-Macon College, Ashland,
VA.
"Over the long term, the fact that a relative-
ly large proportion of a college's graduates
receive the doctoral degree suggests that the
college has established a mutually reinforcing
pattern of standards, expectations and
achievement bevond the ordinary," he
explained.
The studv focused on the time periods
1920-80 and 1970-80.
LVC joined several PA colleges including
Swarthmore (4), Franklin and Marshall (44),
Allegheny (72) and Bucknell and Muhlen-
burg(tiedfor97).
Unusual Quartet Founded
at LVC
The Quartet/Die Posaunen, the first trom-
bone quartet-in-residence at an American col-
lege or university, gave its premier perfor-
mance on Monday, February 15 in Lutz Hall
of the Blair Music Center on campus.
"With the exception of the 1930's and 1940's
Big Band sound made famous by Tommy
Dorsey and Glenn Miller, the trombone in
modern times is more or less identified as an
accompanying instrument by the general au-
dience," said James A. Erdman, II, LVC ad-
junct instructor in music and founder of
Quartet/Die Posaunen.
"Audiences coming to hear us will find
many pleasant surprises," he added.
Along with Erdman, members of Quartet/
Die Posaunen are: Ronald J. Garman, tenor
and alto trombone, who attended LVC;
Robert H. Hearson, tenor trombone, and
LVC's director of bands and assistant pro-
fessor of music and music education; and
Stephen E. Sniffer, bass trombonist, a self-
emploved musician in South Central Penn-
sylvania and former LVC student.
All four gentlemen are members of the In-
ternational Trombone Association.
Concert information is available by calling
the LVC Music Department (717) 867-6275.
O'Donnell Recognition
Dinner
Approximately 45 colleagues, current and
former students gathered the evening of
LVC's Homecoming to honor Dr. Agnes
O'Donnell on the occasion of her retirement
from the full-time faculty.
Alumni representing all three decades dur-
ing which she taught renewed acquaintances
and reminisced with their former teacher and
friend during a reception and dinner.
During the brief after-dinner program, Dr.
O'Donnell heard excerpts of tribute from her
former students and a mini-poetry reading
by English professors Arthur Ford and Philip
Billings. Dr. Ford recounted Dr. O'Donnell's
career in her beloved heroic couplets, while
Dr. Billings recited a Blues-inspired tribute in
"cowardly quartets."
The program ended with comments by Dr.
O'Donnell, who described the changes she
has observed in the students and the campus
during the past 26 years. She closed her
remarks bv thanking all those who helped
establish the O'Donnell Literature Scholar-
ship Fund, adding that she sees "this
scholarship not as a personal tribute but as a
bridge from past students to future students."
The $100 award will go to a deserving
English major each year.
Contributions to the O'Donnell Literature
Scholarship Fund sent to the Office of Ad-
vancement Lebanon Valley College, PA 17003.
Checks should be made payable to "Lebanon
Vallev College" and carrv the designation
"O'Donnell Literature Scholarship Fund."
Compact Discs Bring Fresh
Sound To Campus
After consultation with the Music Depart-
ment this past summer, the library decided to
discontinue expanding the traditional album
(33 V3) collection and to begin acquiring com-
pact disc recordings for faculty, administra-
tion and staff use.
Several factors played an important role in
this decision. The library's listening equip-
ment was obsolete and wearing out; space in
the album collection was becoming critically
short; and sound quality of music on com-
pact discs is unquestionably higher in quality
than that of albums.
Fifteen classical music compact discs were
purchased along with two new compact disc
players. Response, thus far, has been strong,
circulation has been heavy and feedback
from students, faculty and administration
has been positive.
Chemistry Department
Receives NSF Grant
A 526,000 grant from the College Science
Instrumentation Program of the National
Science Foundation (NSF-CSIP) will enable
LVC to train its students in the new and
rapidly advancing areas of recombinant DNA
research and gene cloning.
The NSF-CSIP grant is the second to be
awarded to LVC this year. The Chemistry
Department received a $23-thousand grant in
May, 1987, to support the acquisition of a gas
chromatograph/mass spectrometer for use in
analytical and organic chemistry laboratories.
The grant was awarded to LVC as the result
of a proposal submitted by Dr. Sidney
Pollack, associate professor of biology, and Dr.
Owen A. Moe, Jr., professor of chemistry, en-
titled "Ultracentrifuge and Electrophoresis
Equipment For Undergraduate Instruction In
Genetics, Molecular Biology And
Biochemistry."
The proposal outlined a project to develop a
new senior-level laboratory course in
molecular biology, and to strengthen existing
laboratory courses in biochemistry and
genetics. The funds granted by NSF-CSIP
will be applied to the purchase of a
preparative ultracentrifuge, a microcen-
trifuge, a biological hazards hood and equip-
ment for electrophoresis.
The acquisition of this state-of-the-art in-
strumentation will allow science students at
LVC to carry out new and sophisticated ex-
periments dealing with the preparation,
purification and analysis of recombinant
DNA, and to develop new experiments in the
areas of protein and lipid chemistry.
LVC is one of 40 small, private liberal arts
colleges nationwide that received two or more
instrumentation grants from NSF-CSIP in
1987.
Apartheid Addressed
On Campus By Native
South African
"If a ladder falls, the man at the top will
hurt more than the man at the bottom. The
blacks will be hurt with sanctions, but the
white ruling minority is at the top."
And with that, Jennifer Davis, a white
economist who fled her native South Africa
in 1966, called for more sanctions from the
United States government during her
"Challenge To Apartheid" address in
November at LVC, sponsored by the Student
Council.
An expert on political and economic
developments in South Africa, U.S. policy
and investment, Davis has worked to inter-
pret the liberation struggle to the American
people and expose the shortcomings of
United States policy.
"We've tested the theory that if there is
economic growth in South Africa, apartheid
will fade away. We told you it doesn't work.
Now we want to try something else," said
Davis.
"Under this system, if your skin is black
you cannot vote, choose your work or where
you live," continued Davis.
Davis also cited American television for not
reporting the continued torture under the
white minority rule. She also charged that
the Reagan administration should enact full
sanctions against her country instead of the
current policy of "constructive engagement."
"When people are being tortured under an
unjust rule, they need and want immediate
change," said Davis. "Patience is easier when
you are removed from the situation."
Davis has travelled widely in the front line
states of South Africa, including Angola,
Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. She
also has provided expert testimony before
Committees of Congress, state and municipal
legislatures and the United Nations. In addi-
tion, Davis has presented extensive research
documents for international forums in
Europe, Africa and Latin America.

Computer System Up
And Running
The $225,000 awarded LVC as a result of
the Whitaker Foundation grant has allowed
the College to substantially improve its com-
puting resources.
The purchase of a DEC VAX-8200 gives
students the opportunity to use a "state-of-
the-art" operating system. They are now able
to experiment freely with over 200 operating
system commands, something which was not
possible when administrative and academic
users shared one machine. Four dial-in
modems are being used by off-campus day
students, faculty and continuing education
students who have microcomputers either at
home or in their offices. Also, an electronic
mail and phone package allows students and
faculty to communicate virtually 24 hours a
day.
The new technology also gives students the
available memory and disk space to write
larger programs and data files. Students ex-
periment with inter-program communica-
tion, subprocesses, and directory structures.
An on-line help facility includes detailed
references for all operating system com-
mands. One of the most frequently talked-
about benefits is the increased speed that
students have available when developing and
debugging programs. A future project in-
cludes a dial-in bulletin board to be im-
plemented and maintained bv LVC students
tor the community.
The addition of Zenith PC's to the college's
computing labs allows students to com-
municate and share data with the VAX.
Thanks to Dr. Mike Fry, assistant professor of
mathematical sciences, who wrote a utility to
transfer data between the \AX and IBM's and
compatibles, uploading and downloading
data is fairly painless. A student with a PC at
home or in the dorm may work on
assignments there, then transmit the assign-
ment via phone line to the main system
where the professor may examine and res-
pond via electronic mail. The rudiments are
in place, and the students are eager to build a
fully integrated, networked campus.
Students Study Vietnam in
First-Ever Course
Last semester, 40 students enrolled in a
course entitled "Special Problem: The Viet-
nam Experience." This course, taught for the
first time at LVC, explored the traumatic ef-
fects of a war that was, and still is today, both
controversial and highly debated in our socie-
ty and government.
Dr. Eugene Brown, associate professor of
political science and Vietnam veteran, com-
mented recently on the students' interest.
"I have to remind myself that these stu-
dents were babies when this war occurred,"
said Brown. "Students today are probably
more open-minded than the generation that
lived with the war."
Brown split the class into two segments.
The first half of the semester was devoted to
studying the historical context including how
the U.S. became involved, the controversy it
caused in the U.S. and the domestic pressure
which forced the U.S. to withdraw from the
conflict.
The second half of the course discussed the
effect the war continues to have on our coun-
try and those who dodged the draft.
"I have never seen this kind of
enthusiastic student response to an
academic course in all my fourteen
years of teaching."
— Dr. Eugene Brown, associate
professor of political science.
"I didn't have an understanding of what
the Vietnam veteran went through and that
was a major reason I enrolled in the class,"
said Nikolaz Rael, a sophomore from
Clayton, New Jersey.
The class also had the opportunity to hear
guest speakers including Ann Thompson,
now employed at Lebanon's Veterans Ad-
ministration Hospital who served as an Ar-
my nurse; Lew Cooke, LVC athletic equip-
ment manager and a combat infantryman;
counselors from Harrisburg's Veterans
Center; and Donald Bailey, Pennsylvania
State Auditor General and Vietnam veteran.
Students also were required to interview
someone who went through the Vietnam
experience.
"I interviewed a Vietnam war widow who
lost her husband five weeks before his
discharge," said Melissa Huffman, a senior
English philosophy major from Lebanon, PA.
"She, like her husband, was very patriotic,
and despite her loss, she remains so today.
However, following the death of her husband,
she went through a year of bitterness and
directed her anger toward the world and
God. To this day, she cannot watch anything
related to the war, but now maintains a very
strong faith in God. For me, the personal in-
terview put a human face on what was
presented by written word in our textbooks."
Spirit of Berlin at LVC
Berlin's 750th anniversary as a city was
celebrated in September with displays, films
and a speaker.
The highlight of the nine-day program,
coordinated by Dr. James Scott, professor of
German, and students from Teutonia Vallis,
LVC's German Club, was a presentation given
bv Dr. Rado Pribic, associate professor of Ger-
man at Lafayette College, entitled, "25 Years
Of The Berlin Wall."
"It is appropriate to focus on Berlin as it
celebrates 750 years of existence because
Berlin is more than just a city," said Scott.
"Berlin is the keystone of great power in-
terests in Europe. The city and its Wall have
become a symbol of the world we live in."
As part of the celebration, a full scale
model of a section of the Berlin Wall was con-
structed and displayed outside the Mund
College Center, print information illustrating
the history of the city was displayed in the
Mund lobby, and films from the German
Reich as well as from contemporary East and
West Germany were shown.

LDI Holds Successful
Seminars
Supervisors, managers and small-business
owners learned to be more effective leaders
this past fall through seminars offered by
LVC's Leadership Development Institute
(LDI).
"Leaders are people who can get people to
accomplish tasks and be happy," said Barb
Denison, director of the Leadership Develop-
ment Institute. "The Institute's whole
philosophy is to educate people for life and
leadership."
Six one-day seminars from September to
November dealt with helping participants im-
prove their interpersonal and productivity,
such as leadership survival skills, interper-
sonal communication skills, motivating
others, influencing other's behavior, improv-
ing group skills and creative problem solving
and decision making.
In the spring semester, LVC's Leadership
Development Institute will offer eight one-dav
workshops: "Leadership Survival Skills"
(March 1); "Motivating Others" (March 8);
"Improving Your Written, Spoken and
Nonverbal Communication (March 22); "In-
fluencing Others" (April 5); "Managing Con-
flict and Stress in Your Business and Personal
Lives" (April 19); "Improving Your Group
Skills" (May 3); "Understanding Yourself and
Your Personality" (May 17); and "Creative
Problem Solving and Decision Making" (Mav
31).
The workshops are designed to help par-
ticipants develop their own critical leadership
style and learn practical techniques to imple-
ment changes and achieve goals as a leader in
business, industry, ser\'ice or voluntary
organizations, government or private
agencies.
YSI Program Continues To
Expand: Scholarship
Implemented In This Year's
jram
Progi
The Youth Scholars Institute will enter its
14th year this summer with six new pro-
grams and a $1,000 scholarship applicable to
LVC for eligible students who have par-
ticipated in YSI and wish to enroll at the Col-
lege in the 1988 fall semester.
To be eligible for the scholarship, the par-
ticipating students must be recommended by
their appropriate high school faculty member.
The scholarships are not automatic since the
student must demonstrate promise through
successful participation in the summer pro-
gram. Minimum qualifications are the same
as those for the leadership program, namelv,
ranking in the top 40% of the high school
graduating class; demonstrated academic
leadership; and combined SAT scores of 1,000
or higher. Any student who is offered a YSI
merit scholarship may still compete for a
leadership award or any other scholarship.
However, only one award will be given.
Additional programs to be added to the
program include: Management: Business
Law; Political Science: The Model Senate;
Sociology and Social Service; Spanish;
Psychobiology; and Sound Recording
Technology. These new programs bring the
total course offering to 22 subjects.
YSI is a unique program that was estab-
lished in 1975 by the Chemistry Department
as a means of exposing promising voung
people to chemistry as a potential career. YSI
continued to grow over the vears and now en-
compasses several academic disciplines. Dr.
Dale Erskine, assistant professor of biologv,
became director of the Institute in 1984 and is
responsible for coordinating the academic and
social activities. In 1987, YSI attracted 240
high school students interested in the
sciences, mathematics and computer sciences
and humanities and music.
Participants spend one week on campus
receiving intense training in an area of their
choosing. They work closely with highly
qualified faculty and undergraduate student
assistants in each field and interact with the
faculty outside of the classroom or laboratory.
The interaction with current students can be
an invaluable experience. Among past
assistants are an NSF-Fulbright Fellowship
winner, three current medical students, an
NSF Predoctoral Fellow at Memorial-Sloan
Kettering Cancer Research Center, and
graduate students at MIT, Johns Hopkins,
Cornell and the University of Virginia.
Coke VP Discusses
Marketing
by Rob Andrew, The Quad
YVillem Westerman, Vice-President of Inter-
national Marketing for the Coca-Cola Cor-
poration, discussed marketing Coke around
the world in the Little Theater on Tuesday,
February 16.
Westerman lectured on the diverse
management structures and techniques used
to market a single "non-essential" product
consistently in one hundred and fifty-five dif-
ferent countries. Westerman, who works out
of Atlanta, Georgia, began his career with
Coke in 1951 in England as a route salesman.
Coke, a nine billion dollar company
holding forty percent of the soft drink market
and employing 25,000 people, relies heavily
on advertising to sell its products. Westerman
concluded by showing several different ver-
sions of popular commercials as they were
adapted to be shown in different countries.
This lecture is part of The Springer Lecture
Series which is underwritten by Fred J.
Springer and the IBM Corporation.
Springer's daughter graduated from Lebanon
Valley College in 1987.

Gifts That Keep
On Giving
As D7C strives to maintain its enviable
position in higher education, gift and grant
income is essential both for the current
program and for the future well-being of
the institution.
The current program is supported large-
ly by student tuition and the Annual Fund
for Lebanon Valley College. It is worth
noting that presently the yearly tuition of
$7,950 covers only about 80% of the actual
cost to educate each student. (Room, board
and fees of $3,450 are not included in this
assessment.)
Future generations of young men and
women who will elect to study in our col-
legiate community must be considered to-
day, as well. In recent months a number of
alumni and friends have responded to this
challenge in a variety of ways. LVC is
strengthened measurably by these
considerations.
Each of the following examples reflects
the donor's most opportune means of
making a gift to Lebanon Valley College.
From among the many choices for a
charitable gift, our alumni and friends
selected that method of supporting our in-
stitution which would have the greatest
educational impact without eroding
needed personal resources. There are other
means, also, for originating charitable con-
tributions and we hope the generosity
shown by these several different examples
will prompt more of our constituents to
consider a "Gift that Keeps on Giving."
A meaningful bequest by the late
George E. Hollenbaugh of Middletown has
created the Mae Reider Hollenbaugh
Presidential Leadership Scholarships in
Chemistry and Biology. Each award was
established with a principal sum in excess
of $50,000.
The estate of Kathryn B. Engle '33 of
Hummelstown provided an endowed fund
of more than $30,000 with the income to
be utilized as needed.
Miss Beulah Harvey established a very
generous endowed scholarship in memory
of her sister, Rebecca S. Harvey, to
recognize a deserving senior student who
requires financial assistance to complete his
or her education .
The Honorable John Walter '53 and
Mrs. Patricia Lutz Walter '57 became
members of the Honors Society when they
named Lebanon Valley College the bene-
ficiary of a significant life insurance policy;
the proceeds are to be used where they
will be most advantageous to the
institution.
A gift from Mrs. Esther Hughes
Kelchner '25 endowed a discretionary
fund for the Vice President and Dean of
the Faculty; this income will support in
perpetuity those meaningful programs
and projects for students and faculty which
are considered essential but which were
unbudgeted.
Two book funds have been endowed by
Dr. Elizabeth K. Weisburger '44, President
of the Board of Trustees, as follows:
Lottie J. Snavely Book Fund in English
and Communications; Marion Snavely
Ellenberger Book Fund in History.
Mrs. Virginia C. Miller, mother of an
alumna, became a member of our Honors
Society when she named LVC in her will to
receive a sizable bequest to endow the
Reverend Joseph H. Miller Scholarship.
This income will be awarded a student
with an interest in sacred music.
A Unitrust Agreement with Dr. and
Mrs. Allan W. Mund brought a large prin-
cipal sum to the College which will pro-
vide quarterly payments to the donors dur-
ing their lifetimes. When the agreement
matures, Lebanon Valley College will
utilize the principal investment to further
underwrite the Allan W. Mund, Jr.
Scholarship. Also participating in the gift
were Dr. and Mrs. Richard G. Mund and
Mr. and Mrs. Brian R. Mund. This
scholarship will be one of the largest in the
College's endowment.
The several commitments mentioned
here total more than $533,000 for the
future well-being of Lebanon Valley Col-
lege. Additional alumni and friends also
are providing for the institution through a
host of methods. The 125th Anniversary
Campaign is contributing further en-
dowments to the College's investment port-
folio. These successes are noteworthy and
we are grateful to the many individuals
who have expressed in a tangible way their
belief in the future of Lebanon Valley
College.

ned giving, including a number of oppor-
tunities for tax advantages, can be obtained

Faculty Profile
Markowicz Accepts
New Position
After 17 years in the English department,
Dr. Leon E. Markowicz has accepted a new
challenge— he is the first and only full-time
professor of leadership studies at LVC.
"The leadership appointment is an oppor-
tunity to grow personally, develop profes-
sionally, and contribute both to the campus
and the community" said Markowicz. "I see
leadership studies as a way to draw all the
disciplines on campus together and to con-
nect LVC to the 'outside world.' "
The leadership position involves teaching
the general education leadership requirement
and working closely with the Presidential
Leadership Award recipients (students who
have been awarded S5,000 a year based on
leadership achievement, academic achieve-
ment, and an on-campus interview).
Markowicz is one of several professors
teaching: "LC 100: Theories and Applications
of the Leadership Process." This course, man-
datory for all entering students, focuses on
the concepts and theories of leaders and
followers, the interaction between leaders and
followers, the ethics and values of leadership,
and communication.
Markowicz is also one of several professors
teaching "LC 350: Advanced Leadership
Studies"— a mandatory course for all
Presidential Leadership Award recipients.
Lastly, these students must take "LC 400:
Leadership Internship," which is supervised
by Markowicz.
What has changed for the former professor
of "Management Communications?"
His syllabus certainly hasn't changed
much. With the exception of a few new
texts— Thomas Gordon's Leader Effectiveness
Training, Barbara Kellerman's Political
Leadership, and Richard Solomon's Ethics—
his leadership courses still include The New
York Times and Shakespeare. Students must
also bring a calendar to all classes.
"I still use the same techniques and
philosophy. Students in my leadership classes
write regularly, participate daily, and give
videotaped oral presentations," Markowicz
said. "I strive to teach students to teach
themselves."
Although his goal is the same, the subject
matter he covers isn't. "I need to become
familiar with new areas such as sociology
and psychology and to connect literature and
communications with Leadership Studies."
"This is a challenge that I find very
stimulating."
"I want to make this the best course a stu-
dent takes at LVC," added Markowicz. "I
hope each student grows as an individual
and as a member of society."

ship effectiveness for today's career women.
Dr. Dale Erskine, assistant professor of
biology, was one of 22 professors from
around the country invited to present a paper
at the annual meeting of the American In-
stitute of Biological Sciences held at Ohio
State University in August.
The program was sponsored by the Na-
tional Science Foundation, an independent
agency of the Federal Government responsi-
ble for supporting science and engineering
education at all levels. Erskine's paper "Im-
provement Of Undergraduate Laboratory Ex-
periences In Animal Physiology" includes
discussion on increased computer use in
animal physiology laboratory experiments.
Dr. Arthur Ford, chairman and professor
of English, recently published "Word Process-
ing In The Continuing Education Composi-
tion Class" in Computer-Assisted Composi-
tion Journal.

course to high school English teachers called
"Composition Theory and Computers." The
course reviewed the latest research in com-
position theory and examined the relation-
ship between the fluidity of word processing
and the process approach to the teaching of
writing.
In September, Ford published an article
"The Rose Garden Of The World: Near East
Imagery In The Poetry Of Walt Whitman" in
the Walt Whitman Review. The article is part
of a larger project Ford is currently working
on which examines the use of near east im-
agery in nineteenth-century American
poetry.

Actuarial Science:
A Special Program at LVC
"An actuary is a business professional
who uses mathematical skills to define,
analyze and solve financial and social
problems." This quote, from the Society of
Actuaries/Casualty Actuarial Society
booklet The Actuarial Profession,
highlights two key functions of the ac-
tuary. An actuary is a businessperson,
usually a member of a management team,
who uses mathematical training and ex-
perience to solve problems.
Professional status within the actuarial
profession is attained through completion
of a series of rigorous examinations ad-
ministered by the Society of Actuaries and
the Casualty Actuarial Society. Some of
these exams may be completed while the
student is in college, but most are com-
pleted through self-study after
employment.
LVC has one of the premier actuarial
science programs in the United States. The
opportunities provided by this outstanding
program are increasingly being recognized
by high school guidance counselors,
mathematics teachers and students.
A special feature of the LVC actuarial
science program is its existence within the
liberal arts environment of College. The
combination of mathematics and business
makes the actuarial profession an exciting
opportunity for mathematically talented
students.
Among the graduates of LVCs actuarial
science program are the Chief Actuary of
the State of Delaware, the President of
Prudential /Sony in Japan, the President of
Actex, the leading actuarial publishing
house, and two partners in the Harrisburg
pension consulting firm Conrad M. Siegel,
Inc. Other graduates of LVC are employed
in Philadelphia, Hartford, New York City,
Washington, Chicago, Baltimore, and other
locations in the East and Midwest.
The following LVC alumni passed
actuarial exams taken in May 1987.

One of Our Nation's Best
According to an article entitled "Get-
ting High On Study" in the October 26,
1987 issue of U.S. News & World
Report, Lebanon Valley College ranks
among the 125 best liberal arts colleges
in the country.
The article, based on a survey con-
ducted with college presidents, stated,
"the 125 schools making up this
category in the U.S. News survey offer
small classes with lots of individual at-
tention, a first-rate faculty committed to
teaching undergraduates, plus an
unswerving belief that courses in the
arts, sciences and humanities best
prepare students for life— and work."
