Campus Life
History
Lycoming is an Indian name closely associated with the north Central area of Pennsylvania from early colonial days. The name is representative since the College has been involved in the gradual development of this area from its founding in 1812. It began as an Academy with the power to grant degrees. Because of the needs of that day, however, the school at first concerned itself primarily with the early stages of the educational experience.
As the passing of time brought increasing complexity to the pattern of American life, the program was changed to the prepara- tory, then to the junior college and finally to the liberal arts college level. Under the guidance of The Methodist Church, the College has steadily held strongly to the high ideals and standards of the Methodist tradition in higher education. Through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Lycoming enjoys the highest accreditation available to a liberal arts college. It cooperates freely in the Association of American Colleges.
Tradition
Lycoming's physical location has played a necessary part in determining the character of its tradition. Like other old eastern colleges, it is located near the center of a city. Williamsport, on the west branch of the Susquehanna River, has grown around and beyond the College campus as it has developed into a major com- munity. Rail, air and bus lines link it with the metropolitan cen- ters of the East. A radius of 200 miles includes Washington, Phila- delphia, New York, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
In spite of this expansion by the city, the college has maintained its life as an academic community with a closely knit arrangement of buildings on fifteen acres of land. Though set apart for the purpose of study, the College is awake to the demands of modem life and seeks to serve them with a challenging program for leader- ship.
Co-educational experience in a well rounded academic, religious and cultural program is designed to train the student for life in modern society not only through the development of specialized talents but also through the cultivation of the whole personality.
22
In a small liberal arts college there is a close community of interest— both academic and social. The extreme individualist finds that he must consider the rights of others. The quiet person learns to take his part in the life of the college community.
Every student can share in the exhilaration of varsity sports, for, whether player or spectator, he feels close to this expression of school spirit. He also participates in a competitive intramural program.
The chapel provides a focus for the student's life. It is here that he goes for worship, assemblies, academic gatherings and student productions. Surrounding these experiences and constantly guiding him in them is the life of the classroom. Here he becomes familiar with the ideas of enduring significance that have come from the minds of the learned and wise men of all the ages. He learns the techniques of government which mankind has perfected and then seeks to practice them in student life. He delves into science. He develops the ability to read and converse in the languages of other lands. He discovers a new awareness of the fine arts. The open stacks of the library afford him the opportunity to search for the ideas that will meet the challenge offered in class.
In all of this he has personal guidance as he shares his faculty advisor with a few other students. When he leaves the college for the graduate schools of the great universities, the professional schools of medicine, law and theology or the modern disciplines of engineering, forestry, industry, government and management, he takes with him the sharp edged tools of intellect and the broad cultural background of the liberal arts tradition. Human relations has become for him no mere professional term but a vital experience.
Purpose
It is the aim of Lycoming College to provide to qualified stu- dents education of such a nature as to supply the background for a more intelligent understanding and appreciation of the economic, political, historical, social, scientific, esthetic, and religious aspects of life. In addition to broad general education, courses preparatory to specialization in law, medicine, the ministry, dentistry, engineer- ing, and business, or courses preparatory to graduate work in some field of concentration are offered. Certificates are awarded to stu- dents completing two years of work in some special fields.
23
Extra-Curricular Activities
Freshman Program
The college recognizes the need for giving the freshmen assis- tance in making desirable adjustments to the college situation. A special program has been prepared for the orientation of freshmen.
All freshmen are required to come to the college several days in advance of the upper-classmen. During this time various tests are given which will aid the college staff in advising the student in his choice of courses. During this period problems of freshman ad- justment are discussed, and directions for study, the use of the library, and other instructional aids are given. Provision is also made for recreation and introduction to a wholesome social life.
Religious Tradition
Lycoming College is a Methodist educational institution. How- ever, it is non-sectarian. A check of the Board of Directors, the faculty, and the student body indicates membership in twenty dif- ferent denominations including Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish. Traditionally, the college attempts to help students of all faiths find the place of religion in their lives. Students attend Sunday morning services at churches in the city. Each student is encouraged to be loyal to the church of his choice.
The college aims to stress the development and practice of a Christian philosophy of life. Through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for eighteen years President of the Board of Directors, a Department of Religion has been established at the College. Courses in Religion (optional with non-Protestants who may substitute a course in Philosophy) include a systematic study of the Bible. The Religious Life Council is the student organization responsible for coordinating the religious activities of the campus. The Director of Religious activities serves as adviser to this group. Under the direction of the Council, the Committee for the Religious Emphasis Week brings to the campus outstanding religious leaders. Many of the chapel and assembly programs are religious in nature. Speakers include prominent civic leaders, faculty members, and national figures.
The John Wesley Club is composed of students preparing for the ministry or other forms of religious work. Through regular
24
meetings and deputation teams, they gain valuable training and ex- perience in religious work.
Cultural Influences
Lycoming aims to develop in its students an easy familiarity with the best social forms and customs. Young men and women meet in the dining hall, at receptions and other social functions. These contacts, together with talks by instructors, do much to develop poise and social ease.
The Artists and Lecturers Series provides additional opportuni- ties to broaden one's cultural horizon. At these events, the student learns to appreciate the ballet, an artist in drama, voice, or instrument, a lecturer, fine choral singing or group instrumental music. This is an important part of a liberal arts education.
Student Government
The college seeks to develop in each student a sense of loyalty and responsibility to good citizenship. To this end there is estab- lished a Student Government representing the entire student body with the purpose of promoting the general welfare of the college and of promoting understanding between students and administration.
Certain phases of dormitory life are supervised and regulated by student dormitory governments. In this way students are pro- vided the experience of sharing the responsibilities which are the outgrowth of living closely with each other. The Dean of Women and the Dean of Men exercise an over-all supervisory influence on dormitory life.
Campus Groups
There are various organizations on the campus which provide students with an interesting and wholesome social life. These are organized and conducted by the students in cooperation with the faculty. Some of these are as follows: The International Relations Club, which is the campus focus for discussion of world affairs; the Future Teachers of America which gives prospective teachers the opportunity to receive current information as well as insight into the problems of the education field; The Lycoming College Players, which affords opportunity for acting and directing plays as demon- stration of the work in the dramatic courses of the curriculum; the Varsity Club, which is composed of lettermen, promotes college spirit
25
in sports; the Pre-Medical Society, which has discussions and hears lectures on various medical data; the Engineering Society for pre- engineering students; the Hiking Club for those interested in hiking; some religious groups, the Canterbury Club, the Catholic Club, the Lutheran Student Movement, the Student Christian Association, and the Methodist Student Movement.
The College Choir and College Band are open to all students desiring to join. These furnish the college with music for many entertainments, athletic events, and celebrations throughout the year.
College Publications
There are six college publications. The Lycoming Courier is the official student paper, devoted to local interests of the student body, reporting current campus events. The Arrow, the college year book, is published in May and presents a record of student life during the current academic year. The staffs of both publica- tions are composed of students interested in gaining more knowledge and experience in journalism and business practices. The Alumni Bulletin, issued three times a year, keeps the alumni posted on cur- rent happenings at the college and on alumni activities. The Guide- post, published by the Student Government, is a student handbook of regulations and miscellaneous information which is distributed during the first week of school. The Student Bulletin is issued week- ly and The Faculty Bulletin as needed by the Dean's office.
Fraternities
Five Greek letter groups on the campus provide a means of bringing to men students the advantages of national fraternal organi- zation as well as group housing. They include the Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho, Beta Lambda Chapter of Sigma Pi, Iota Beta Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, Epsilon Beta Chapter of Theta Chi, and the Nu Chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon.
The Inter-Fraternity Council coordinates the activities of the fraternities.

General Programs and Rules
Intercollegiate Sports
The college offers an attractive program of intercollegiate ath- letics and encourages wide participation by its students. It is a member of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Lycoming annually meets some of the top-ranking small college teams in the country in athletic com- petition. Contests are scheduled with other colleges in football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf, swimming, and soccer.
Intramural Athletics
An extensive and diversified program of intramural athletic competition affords opportunity for every student to participate in one or more sports of his own choosing.
Sports for men include touch football, basketball, volleyball, bowling, badminton, table tennis, tennis, softball, golf, wresding, swimming, horseshoes, track and field.
Sports for women include competition in basketball, volleyball, bowling, badminton, table tennis, tennis, softball, swimming, field hockey, archery, and rhythmical activities. Field days are arranged with WAA groups of other colleges and universities during the school year.
Physical Education
Physical Education is one phase of the education of the whole student. It is here that the student develops not only in physical ability, but also in leadership and in proper habits of living. Here students are encouraged to gain and improve skills, attitudes, and knowledge that will provide a sound recreational outlet following graduation. It is to this end that the program of activities is directed.
Physical Education is required of all freshmen and sophomores except veterans, who are exempt. All classes are for the purpose of instruction.
The college accepts no financial responsibility for medical, surgical, or other expenses arising from injuries occurring in physical education classes or the intramural program which exceeds the care provided for in the normal college Infirmary service.
29
Required Health Information
The following data is required by the College Physician: (1) a medical report signed by the candidate's physician and by his parent or guardian; and (2) a card signed by the physician indicating the basis for any necessary restriction in, or exclusion from, the physical education activity program.
Veterans are exempt from the second requirement.
In connection with the physical examination, all entering stu- dents must have a chest X-ray. If this cannot be arranged before entering, the Tuberculosis Society will take chest X-rays at a nomi- nal cost. The student bears the expense of the X-ray.
Infirmary Service
The infirmary fee, included in the over-all activities fee, covers the following medical service: the college nurse holds infirmary hours each day, except Sunday, that the college dormitories are open; she is also available for first aid treatment and will call to the attention of the college physician any case demanding special treatment.
Such service, however, shall not be interpreted to include X- rays, surgery of more than minor nature, care of major accidents on or off campus, immunization for colds, examination for glasses, doctors' calls, cases of serious chronic disorder, or other extraordi- nary situation.
Special nursing service and special medicines and prescriptions will be at the expense of the student. Parents will be notified by the College when students are confined to the infirmary with serious illnesses.
Student Insurance
By a special group plan, our students are able to secure acci- dent and sickness insurance covering medical and hospital expenses whether at home or at college during one academic year. Reim- bursement will be made up to $500.00 for each accident. All stu- dents are advised to carry this protection.
30
Guidance
An advantage of a small college is the rich experience gained by the close association of students and faculty. In addition to this valuable personal relationship, which affords students the opportu- nity to discuss various problems with their instructors, Lycoming has a well-rounded guidance program for its students. Under the direction of the Dean of the College, this program includes areas as represented by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the Guidance Director with his group of faculty advisers.
The program begins with a personal interview between the Director of Admissions and the candidate for admission. These interviews are sufficient in length to obtain a picture of the student, his background, and his plans for the future. When the student enters the College as a Freshman, he is given the opportunity to take aptitude and psychological examinations. On the basis of preparatory or high school grades, interest inventories, and other psychological tests, the student is offered counseling in the area of educational and vocational choice. Additional counseling is available to the stu- dent in the area of personal and emotional adjustment. WTiere spe- cific need is indicated by the student, the Guidance Director is pre- pared to offer intensive personal adjustment counseling.
At any point in his college career, the student's welfare is the sole purpose of the guidance program. It stands ready to help him make intelligent decisions concerning vocational and educational choices, and to solve important personal problems.
Placement Service
The Placement Bureau maintains a register listing the talents and major interests of students and recent alumni. Literature from businesses and industrial associations is kept available. Con- sultations with the Placement Director assist students toward wise selection of a profession. Interviews are then scheduled at which students meet and confer with representatives from companies in which they are interested. The goal of the Bureau is to make the best possible connection for each graduate. Lycoming graduates are usually placed before commencement.
There are many diversified businesses in Williamsport. These firms give students at Lycoming spendid opportunities for visits, tours, and career conferences. They also afford the student body a
31
variety of part-time jobs during each college session. The Place- ment Bureau serves as a clearinghouse for part-time employment and can usually find work for every student needing it.
Provisions for Veterans
Lycoming is fully approved for the educational program fot Veterans under Federal Public Laws 550, 634, and 894.
Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is a significant part of the college experience.
Rooms at Lycoming are furnished as follows: desk, bureau, chair, single bed, mattress, and pillow. Students must supply their own bed linen, blankets, and alarm clocks. The men can make their rooms more attractive by using throw rugs and plastic drapes.
The students will make their own arrangements for laundry ser- vice. A local laundry has a representative on campus for the con- venience of all boarding students. It is recommended that the student bring a minimum of six sheets (single bed), three pillow cases, and two double blankets.
Discipline
The discipline of the College is firm, reasonable, and sympa- thetic. All students are considered responsible citizens and mem- bers of a Christian community. Any student who is antagonistic to the spirit and general purpose, or who fails to abide by the regulations set up by the College, may be asked to withdraw from the College at any time during the school year.
Regulations
It is understood that students entering Lycoming do so with the intention of making an honest effort to do satisfactory work in every respect. When a student is not able to conform to the school pro- gram, the parents or guardians are asked to withdraw the student from the school.
The College regulations, in addition to those published here, are furnished each student upon matriculation. Announcements dur-
32
ing the year by college authorities may amend or supplement the catalogue regulations and are to be adhered to as such.
Students from a distance are required to reside in the dormi- tories. Permission for any exception to this rule must be obtained from the administration. When such permission is granted, the place of residence and living accommodations must be approved by the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men.
Money and valuables should be placed in the school safe; other- wise the College will not assume responsibility.
No intoxicants or drinking of intoxicants is permitted on campus.
Students found in an intoxicated condition will be expelled.
Permission to maintain automobiles on the campus must be obtained from the administration and official decals must be secured from the College Bookstore. Freshman men and all resident women are not permitted to maintain automobiles while attending the College.
Firearms for hunting must be deposited with the Dean of Men while on the campus.
Dormitory students are expected to vacate their rooms during the vacation periods. Exceptions must be reported to the Dean of Men.

Academic Program
Standards
Grading System
A credit hour is defined as one hour of classroom work, or the equivalent, each week during a full term of sixteen weeks. Ordi- narily two hours of laboratory work are rated as one credit hour.
The number system of grading with the corresponding quality points is used. "3" indicates work of the highest excellence, show- ing a superior grasp of the content, as well as independent and creative thinking in the subject. "2" signifies better than average achievement wherein the student reveals insight and ability. "1" is given for satisfactory achievement on the college level when work in the course has been conscientious and has shown no considerable de- ficiency in either quality or quantity. "0" indicates that work in the course has met the minimum essentials. "-1" is failure. Work failed must be repeated satisfactorily before any credit can be obtained for that course.
Scholastic rank is determined on the quality point system where "3" counts 3 quality points per credit hour, "2" counts 2 points per hour, "1" counts 1 point per hour, "0" carries no point value, and "-1" counts -1 point per hour.
Probation
All students who receive an average of .5 or less during the first semester will be placed on academic probation and must attain an average of at least 1.0 during the second semester or be automatically dismissed from the college.
All students who receive an average between .5 and 1.0 during the first semester must attain an average of at least 1.0 during the second semester, or they will be placed on academic probation. Such students must attain at least 1.0 during their subsequent session (either summer school or the fall semester) or they will be dismissed from the college at the conclusion of that session.
The probation rule does not prevent the immediate dismissal of any student who establishes an exceptionally low academic record in any semester.
36
Dismissal
Freshmen who fail to maintain an average of at least .00 the first year shall be asked to withdraw from the College. Upper classmen whose averages fall below .00 for any semester may be asked to withdraw from the College. The College also reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant or to dismiss any student at any time if the administration considers such action to be for the best interests of the student or the College. Students dismissed for academic reasons may request reinstatement after one semester. Readmission of a student may be refused if in the considered opin- ion of the Admissions Committee he does not meet all the require- ments of the College in the specific curriculum for which readmission has been sought.
Attendance
The program at Lycoming is built on the assumption that there is value in class and assembly and chapel attendance for all stu- dents. Therefore, all students are expected to attend all classes and a specified number of assembly and chapel exercises.
Specific regulations as to permissible absences and penalties for excessive absences are announced from time to time. Responsi- bility for learning and complying with these regulations rests with the student.
Normal Student Load
The normal load per semester for students is from twelve to fifteen hours of academic work and two classes per week of physical education during the first two years. Freshmen also attend one Study Habits class each week.
Overload
Students who wish to carry in excess of the normal load are charged $17.50 per credit hour. A schedule of more than seventeen hours of academic work may be taken if the student has an average of 2.0 for all previous work and obtains written permission from the Dean of the College or has an average below 2.0 and receives the written permission of a special committee.
37

Admission
Admissions Policy
The policy of Lycoming College is to admit applicants who, in the opinion of the Admissions Committee are best qualified to profit by the opportunities offered by the College, and who can at the same time make positive contributions to undergraduate life. Due consideration is given not only to academic attainment, as evidenced by school records and examinations, but also to the applicant's char- acter, personality, and interest and accomplishments in extracurricular pursuits.
Admission to Lycoming College is on a competitive basis. Early application, while encouraged, does not assure admission.

41
Curricula
Programs of Study
Lycoming College confers the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees after eight semesters of study normally taken over a course of four years. The Bachelor of Arts is taken in the liberal arts and sciences. It provides broad training in preparation for graduate work or immediate service to the community in places of leadership. Major areas of study include: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English, History, Language, Mathematics, Music, Philos- ophy, Physical Science, Political Science, Psychology, Social Science, and Sociology. (Fields of concentration in Social Science may be selected in Economics, History, Sociology, Political Science, or Psychology.) Professional areas of preparation include medicine, dentistry, law, the ministry, art, music, teaching, engineering and forestry. The first four require additional training at profes- sional schools. Engineering and forestry are taken in five year cooperative programs with Bucknell University, The Pennsylvania State University, and Duke University.
The Bachelor of Science is taken in the specific fields of business administration, medical technology, nursing, and teaching. If the student wishes to spend two years in certain fields of study given by the college, a certificate of credit hours completed will be issued at the end of that period. Schedules may be adjusted with a two year program in view.
All schedules are planned individually with an advisor. Enter- ing students plan with the Director of Admissions. Second semes- ter freshmen and sophomores plan with general faculty advisors. Juniors and seniors plan with divisional and department heads.
All seniors, during the first semester of their final year, check with the Registrar for graduation requirements.
Freshman and Sophomore Years
During these first two years the student in the liberal arts and sciences program takes a broad course in general education. He not only has the opportunity to develop wide understanding of the world in which he lives, but also discovers where his own talents and interests lie. Thus he is prepared to choose a major field at the end of his sophomore year.
42
During the freshman year he takes:
(1) English Composition— This is to develop a facility for reading and writing that will help him in the transition from high school to college level work. One of the requirements of our mod- ern civilization in business as well as the professions is that the individual be able to express himself freely and clearly. Those students who are not adequately prepared in grammar for college study may be required to successfully complete a non-credit course in remedial grammar.
(2) History of Western Civilization— No student can proceed to specific fields of study until he fully understands the backgrounds of our western way of life.
(3) Natural Science— Though there is choice in the field of science that he may study, each student must have an experience in scientific method, which has been the great development in western civilization during this century.
(4) A Foreign Language— Though he may have further choice as to the particular language he studies, no student could expect to understand the small world of today without knowing some other language than his own and also the way in which that language was developed. Understanding the symbols of communication is a major step in the process of abstract thought.
(5) A Survey Course in Cultural Appreciation— It opens up these cultural areas for enrichment of life.
(6) Religion— A broad background study in the historical development of the Hebrew-Christian traditions.
During his sophomore year, he takes:
(1) English and American Literature— Having learned to ex- press himself the student now gets a glimpse of the way the great English and American writers have expressed themselves. This course is a source of future personal reading habits as well as an understanding of our culture.
(2) United States History— Having received the background of western civilization, the student learns our American contribution to the present world scene.
(3) Foreign Language— If the student has not taken suffi- cient language in secondary school, he must continue his language study for the second year. If he has satisfactorily passed two years of the language in secondary school, he must take only the year of intermediate language in college although he may wish to continue in Advanced Conversation.
(4) Psychology and Political Science— These requirements
43
introduce him to the fields as well as provide a broad survey for his general background.
(5) Philosophy— This requirement gives him perspective on life as a whole as well as the basic purpose of the College.
From the broad understanding that the student has received and the perspective that he has gained in several fields, he is able to choose a major. This requires at least 24 credit hours in his chos- en field. In some cases, courses from different departments may be grouped together to form a major. This leaves a wide range of courses for a minor field of study and electives to broaden his educa- tion. He plans his program for the next two years with the division- al or departmental head of his major field of study.

Pre-Medicine
The modern physician or surgeon is no longer one who has studied
merely medicine. He is a man with a broad cultural training, capable of
treating more than physical ailments. Therefore, medical authorities are recommending a full four years of liberal arts program and are requiring certain specific subjects in preparation for medical school.

Expenses and Scholarships
Expenses
General Expenses
In considering the expenses of college, it is well to bear in mind that no student actually pays the full cost of his education. State colleges are enabled to keep the cost of tuition within reasonable limits by grants from the public treasury; independent colleges achieve this by voluntary contributions 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 minimum consistent with adequate facilities and competent in- struction.
Tuition at Lycoming is $250.00 per semester, plus certain fees which are listed on the following pages. For students taking meals at the College, Rooms in Rich Hall, Rich Hall Annex, the Men's new Dormitory, and the Fraternity Houses are $100.00 per semester. In Old Main— $75.00 per semester. (The academic year comprises two semesters of approximately sixteen weeks each.) If for any justifiable reason it is impossible for a student to eat in the College Dining Hall, 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.
Regularly enrolled students carrying a normal schedule of from 13 to 16 hours of class or laboratory pay the full tuition charge. Those students taking fewer than 13 hours of work per semester, or fewer than 6 hours of work per semester in the summer session, are charged $17.50 per credit hour. Additional credits beyond the normal schedule of 16 hours are charged at the rate of $17.50 for each semester hour credit. Additional detailed information will be furnished by the Treasurer's office upon request.
Application Fee and Deposit
All students applying for admission are required to send an application fee of $10.00 with the application. This charge is to
106
defray the costs of processing the application, and of keeping academic records.
After a resident student is notified that he has been accepted for admission by the college, he is required to make a deposit of $50.00. This deposit is evidence of the applicant's good intention to matricu- late, and serves as a room reservation fee.
Non-resident students are required to make a deposit of $25.00 after they are notified that they have been accepted. Deposits re- quired of both resident and non-resident students are applicable to the general charges of the semester, and are not extra fees.
All returning students are required to pay a deposit of $25.00 on or before July 1, to reserve their place in the student body. This fee is credited to their account. No fees are returned except in case of illness.
Books and Supplies
A modern book and supply store is conveniently located on the campus. Books and supplies are purchased by the individual student. The estimated cost is approximately $65.00 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.
Art and Music
Tuition for art and music majors is higher than it is for the other courses of study. In these programs best results are obtained by individual instruction; consequently the expense is greater. The cost in excess of the normal tuition varies according to the student's program of study but does not exceed $50.00 per semester. The exact cost is determined at the time of registration.
Special or part time music students are charged $50.00 per semester for one one-half hour lesson per week.
A charge of $5.00 per semester for piano and $10.00 per semes- ter for organ is made when these instruments are required for practice. These rates are for one period per day for each lesson scheduled.
Special or part time applied art students will be charged $60.00 for six class periods per week (three credit hours).

Dropping a subject from the original schedule after the first week of either semester will not justify any claim for refund of tuition charges. Writ- ten permission to drop the subject must be obtained from the Dean's Office. No refund will be made to those students who are asked to withdraw from college.
Other fees cannot be refunded for any reason whatever.
Penalty for Non-Payment of Fees
