LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
The Founding of the Institution.
T EBANON VALLEY COLLEGE came into existence to -LX supply an absolute want. Denominational growth and an advancing civilization rendered it necessary for the Church of "The United Brethren in Christ," throughout the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Virginias, to make special pro- vision for the moral and intellectual culture of her children. After much deliberation and prayer, it was resolved that an in- stitution of learning be established, which would furnish the advantages of a thorough education alike to young men and women, under the safe and inspiring influences of the Christian religion.
To carry out this purpose, a committee of worthy gentlemen was chosen, with authority to elect a suitable place for its es- tablishment.
The Town of Annville,
located in the midst of the beautiful Lebanon Valley, was chosen on account of its accessibility, healthfulness and in- spiring scenery.
As a further inducement to locate the College at this place, a suitable building and grounds were donated by public-spirited citzens for educatfonal purposes. In jS86 the Institution was founded and chartered by a Special Act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Aim
of the Trustees and Faculty, from the first, has been to provide courses of study which will qualify students to be practical and self-reliant, as well as learned.
4 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
The Charter plainly indicates, that it was the intention of the founders to plant an Institution which would become so ample in facilities and manifold in departments as to furnish in- struction in all the subjects of a general and special education, and toward this original purpose the Institution will advance as rapidly as the necessary means are secured and circumstances will demand it.
Officers of the Corporation.
The Board of Trustees are elected by the Co-operating Con- ference, one-third of whom are elected annually for a term of three years.
The members of the Faculty, and two persons chosen by the Alumni from their own number, sustain an ex-officio re- lation.
Fidelity to Patrons.
The members of the Faculty believe that all pupils should be encouraged to educate as thoroughly as their means and native endowment will admit, even when there is promise of only moderate success; but when a student persists in a course of indifference and manifests no appreciation of time, money or opportunities, the Institution regards itself morally bound to make known the facts to its patrons, but not until every worthy method has been employed for his reformation.
Co-Education.
The principle of co-education of the sexes was adopted from the first by the founders of the College — and the entire absence of College barbarities and excesses, as well as the manifestation of a tendency to a higher standard of scholarship, from year to year, proves the wisdom of this natural order of things. The facilities of the College and the encouragements to a thorough education are offered alike to all. And experience has shown that there is no appreciable difference between the male and the female, as such, as to ability in mastering the studies of a College Course.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 5
Non-Sectarian.
While the College is denominational in management, it is positively free from sectarian bias; and the liberal patronage which it has enjoyed from homes representing all phases of Protestant faith, as well as from the homes of non-professors, attests the fact that Colleges may inculcate the principles of Christian Morality without traducing the religious convictions or personal belief of anyone.
Aggressive in Spirit.
The Institution is not bound in theory or practice to anti- quated methods, but it seeks to interpret the laws of science and of life in keeping with the spirit of progress and the lead- ings of Providence.
Guaranty.
Fidelity to these principles in the past is the guaranty that the Institution offers to its patrons in the future.

LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
BOURSES OF {BiUiDY.
The College offers four courses of study — the Classical, the Scientific, the Academical, and the Musical.
The Classical Course
is the most thorough, and should be elected by those who con- template entering the "Learned Professions," and by such as aspire to the ripest scholarship or purely literary pursuits. Those who satisfactorily finish this course are graduated with the degree — Bachelor of Arts.
The Scientific Course
requires but one ancient language — either the Greek or the Latin ; otherwise it is the same as the Classical Course. It leads to the degree, Bachelor of Science. .
The Academical Course
extends over three Collegiate years, and is as full and symmetrical as the time will admit. It is intended to furnish the necessary discipline and instruction for a practical education. A diploma will be awarded to those who complete this course.
The Musical Course,
in addition to the regular studies of the subject, requires a generous knowledge of such branches as are best suited to a musical education.

Department of Instruction.
MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY.
Mental and Moral Sciences. In the Senior year of the Classical and Scientific courses, students are admitted to the study of Psychology and Ethics. These subjects are taught by means of text-books and interlocutory methods, and it is ex- pected that those who pursue them will attain a fair knowledge of the history and present status of these sciences.
Seventeen weeks are devoted to the study of Psychology, and eleven weeks to the study of Ethics, with five recitations in each, per week.
Apologetics. Analogy of Religion and Evidences of Chris- tianity are studied in the Senior and Junior years, twelve weeks being devoted to each. Written theses are required, setting forth, briefly, the arguments of the authors' and students' views concerning them. In the study of these subjects, there are ex- ercises in the review of authors and their criticism.
Philosophy. This subject is taught with reference to origin and development of pure philosophical inquiry ; and to a com- parison of the various systems both "Ancient" and "Modern."
Social Science. Political Economy opens to the student the subject of individual and national well-being, and treats scientifically the living questions, Production, Distribution and Consumption.
Seventeen weeks are devoted to this subject during the Sopho- more year, and it is expected that intelligent views will be reached as to the theories of Tariff.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 25
LATIN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.
In this department the design is to give thorough instruction in the language and literature of the Romans. The authors whose writings are studied, are Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Livy, Horace, Quintilian, Tacitus, Terence and Juvenal. In the earlier stages the learner's attention is especially directed to the mastery of inflections, to the elements of the words declined and conju- gated, so as to obtain a perfect familiarity with the stems, signs, and endings. As the study advances Syntax is taken up, and by constant reviews of the Grammar, the knowledge obtained is confirmed and enlarged. To acquire the ability to translate faithfully and elegantly is a leading object. Students are asked to show the construction of the text, explain the derivation of words and apply the principles of grammar. In connection with the reading of the poets particular attention is given to Prosody.
Latin Composition is studied with care. After the text-book is completed there are regular exercises in writing Latin essays.
The Continental method of pronunciation is used. From the beginning pupils are taught correct accent and quantity, and by careful practice are trained to read the Latin text with facil- ity and grace.
During the Winter Term lectures are delivered every week, on the History of Roman Literature, before the class studying that subject, in which the early stages of its growth are traced, and the most prominent writers, from the time of Livius An- dronicus up to the patriotic era, are presented. Especially are the illustrious authors of the Augustine age and their works made the subjects of treatment. It is the aim in these lectures to give to the students of Latin Literature a comprehensive view of the subject, and to infuse a desire for the study of those literary masterpieces which have so long maintained an honored place among the educated classes of all civilized lands.
26 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
The following books of reference are recommended : White and Riddle's, or Leverett's Latin Lexicon, Roby's or Zumpt's Latin Grammar, Doederlein's Latin Synonyms, Johnston's Clas- sical Atlas, Mommsen's History of Rome, Ellis' Quantative Pronunciation of Latin, and Corssen's Ausprache Vocalismus und Betonung der Latinischen Sprache.
GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.
The subjects taught in this department are the Greek Lan- guage and Literature, the History of Greece, the History of Greek Literature, Antiquities and Comparative Philology.
In the Preparatory Classes the student is thoroughly drilled in the inflections of the language, and words are carefully ex- amined with reference to the application of the laws of euphonic change and rules of construction.
Written and oral translations, from Greek into English and from English into Greek, are given throughout the first two years. In all of these exercises strict attention is paid to the gram- matical principles involved, and the laws of accent are carefully applied.
A greater familiarity with idioms and the spirit of the lan- guage is acquired by means of the "Modern Method" of teaching languages — by questions and answers in the original tongue.
In the higher classes, special attention is given to the style, spirit and subject matter of the author. With these recitations are connected exercises in Comparative Philology and Histori- cal Etymology, in derivative words, tracing the transition from the primary meaning to secondary and figurative meanings, and observing the interchange of words through the cognate tongues.
The Greek Testament is studied throughout the Sophomore year, one recitation per week.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 27
Books of Reference. Anthon's Classical Dictionary, Al- len-Hadley's Greek Grammar, Veitch's Greek Verbs, Kuhner's Greek Grammar, Mahaffey's Greek Literature, Symond's Greek Poets, Papillion's Comparative Philology, Grote's History of Greece, Goodwin's Greek Moods and Tenses, Homeric Gram- mar, Grote's Plato, and introduction to the Rhythmic and Metric of the Classical Languages.
MATHEMATICS.
Geometry and Trigonometry. Geometry is a two-fold science, being demonstrative reasoning, and a system of prac- tical truths. In the study of this science we seek to bring out the meaning and practical utility of the abstract propositions, and seek to enable the student to feel that he deals with com- mon affairs, and not with abstractions of the imagination. By frequent application of practical problems, the principles are fixed in the student's mind, and thought is developed ; indeed practical applications are essential to a full apprehension of geo- metrical truths, otherwise the science becomes a mere discussion of abstract propositions. The work preceding the proportion- alities and measurement of polygons, circles, and solids is done in the Preparatory year. There are exercises in original inves- tigation and application of Algebra to Geometry.
One- half of Freshman year is devoted to Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. Students apply the principles to the measuring of heights and distances, and to Astronomy, as a part of class exercise.
Calculus and Surveying. The study of Calculus is taught during the Sophomore year, and is required of all students.
Surveying occupies the Spring term of the Sophomore year. Instruction is given in practical surveying, and the student is

taught, by use of instruments and field-pratice, to be self-reli- ant and thorough.
Books of Reference. Peck's Mathematical Dictionary, Gauss' Theory of Numbers, Todhunter's General Theory of Equations, Salmon's Modern Higher Algebra, Newcomb's or Wentworth's Geometry and Trigonometry, and Olney's General Geometry.
NATURAL SCIENCE.
The College does not propose to make specialists in any of the departments of Science ; yet, the design is to teach thor- oughly, and as minutely as time will permit, all the subjects em- braced in this Department.
Students begin the study of Science with Elementary Natural History of Animals in the first year of the Preparatory Course, and finish with Geology in the last term of the Senior year.
Geography of the Heavens and Physical Geography to- gether cover the Fall and Winter terms of the Preparatory- first year ; the studies being so arranged as to give the most fa- vorable season for the study of the constellations and heavenly
bodies.
Physiology, including Anatomy and Hygiene, is studied by Freshmen. The study of Anatomy will be aided, as far as practicable, by dissection of important organs, such as heart, eye, etc., of ox or sheep, and by the use of the microscope.
Zoology, embracing the topics, Biology, Comparative Anato- my, and Geographical Distribution of Animals, is begun in the latter part of the Fall term of the Freshman year, and extends through the Winter term.
Botany, structural and physiological, is studied by the use of text book and microscopic specimens ; Systematic Botany, by the analysis of specimens in the class-room and in the field. It is a Spring term study of the Freshman year.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 29
Natural Philosophy is studied by the Juniors during the entire year, devoting the Fall term to Mechanics and Hydrosta- tics ; Winter and Spring terms to Pneumatics and Physics.
Chemistry. — Instruction in Theoretical and Descriptive Chem- istry is given during the Fall term of the Senior year! A con- siderable time will be given to lectures and laboratory work.
Mineralogy and Geology are studied by the seniors during the Winter and Spring terms. A short course in Mineralogy follows the study of Dynamical and Historical Geology.
BOOKS OF REFERENCE.
In connection with the study of text books, students should read as much collateral matter as time will allow. The follow- ing books will be found valuable as furnishing fuller treatment of subjects than it is possible to give in text books : Huxley's Physiology or Dalton's Human Physiology; Packard's Zoology; Gray's Structural Botany; Plantl and Vine's Botany; Dana's Mechanics; Atkinson's Ganot's Physics or Deschanel's Natu- ral Philosophy; Cook's The New Chemistry; Wurtz's The Atomic Theory; Dana's Manual of Geology, Le Conte's Geolo- gy; Nicholson's Ancient Life History of the Earth.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.
In this department are taught English Grammar, Analysis, Higher English, General History, Bible History, Logic, Science of Government, Rhetoric, History of Civilization, Elements of Criticism, and English Literature.
We seek to bring to view the structure and uses of the lan- guage, not only by the study of rules, but by careful study of the best literary models, and original composition. Higher Lessons in English afford opportunities to those desiring ad-
30 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
vanced drill in the art of expression and composition. Rheto- ric, a subject pursued by the Juniors, also supplements this drill by a much more systematic study of the forms of Prose, Poetry and Style.
The view taken of the history of the world is, from necessity, somewhat cursory, but sufficient to create a taste for historical study. The history of our own country is studied during the Spring term. The fall term of seventeen weeks is given to the study of Bible History, which all are required to study with the same care that they do the other branches of the curriculum.
The "History of Civilization" is taught from text-books, but is supplemented by a series of dissertations, the subjects of which are assigned students at the beginning of the term, and which they are required to prepare either for oral or written delivery before the class.
Logic is studied by the Juniors. Special attention is given the forms of correct argument and fallacy.
The Science of Government, embracing a rapid, yet com- plete view of our political system, is taught with reference es- pecially to the duties of good citizenship.
Elements of Criticism, as related to the beautiful in nature and art, and a knowledge of the principles of good taste, is studied in the Senior year.
English Literature, taught by both manual and the works of the standard authors, is made one of the most interesting and important branches of this department. Our constant aim is to awaken new interest in the study of our own language and literature, and, whatever the study, the student may feel that his training in English is not neglected.
Books of Reference. The College Library is well supplied with histories and lite- rature bearing upon the subjects of this department, to some of which the student is referred almost daily, and in some in- stances required to examine for special information. The Li- brary is our great ally and aid in instruction.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 3 1
For special reference, the following are recommended :
Welsh's Development of the English Literature and Lan- guage ; Townsend's Art of Speech, Vols. I and II ; Smith's Old and New Testament History ; Whitney's Language and the Study of Language ; Whitney's Life and Growth of Language; Stille's Studies in Mediaeval History. Astronomy.
Astronomy occupies seventeen weeks of Senior year. The instruction is both by use of text-book and lectures which em- brace the latest discoveries and researches. In some respects the instruction is mathematical, as the students are required to find the periodic time and mass of planets, sun's rising and setting and beginning, and duration of twilight, eclipses, &c.
Students will have some practice with an Acromatic Tele- scope. They will be required, as a part of class work, to make observations of the Sun, Planets, Clusters of Stars, &c.
MODERN LANGUAGES.
Instruction is imparted in German and French by exercises in translation, by conversational practice and by writing. It is the aim in this department so to master these languages, that they may become of practical value. In addition to the text- books named in the course, the following are recommended : Adler's German and English Dictionary, and Spier's and Su- renne's French Pronouncing Dictionary.
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC.
Music Course. The course of instruction in either Piano or Voice will occupy three years. A Preparatory year is also required of those who expect to enter upon the regular course, and are not already
2,2 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
familiar with the rudiments of music. Pupils may devote their entire time to music, or take it in connection with other studies. The stated time for completing the course may be lengthened or shortened, according to the advancement of the pupil. Some pupils will accomplish in two years what would take others three or four years to complete. A knowledge of the elements of Harmony will be required, or one year's study, in order to graduate in either Piano or Voice. At the close of each term a written examination is made. A graduate in Voice is also ex- pected to acquire a degree of proficiency on the Piano, sufficient to enable him to play his own accompaniments.
Private and Class Lessons.
Private lessons will be given at extra cost, but the class system is strongly recommended. It is practiced in the best conserva- tories of this country and Europe. Mendelssohn says : "It has advantages over private instruction ; it produces industry, spurs on to emulation, and preserves against one-sidedness of educa- tion and taste." " The student of music will as surely fail of a complete musical education, by taking private instruction alone, as would the student of science without the advantage of the College or University."
Students in Piano are arranged in classes of two. Voice cul- ture pupils in classes of two or four. Harmony students in classes of four or six.
Elements of music, sight-singing and part-singing classes free to all music pupils. Public recitals are given by the music pupils every two months.
Pupils will take practice in ensemble playing.
Recitations. Classes in cultivation of the voice, piano-forte, organ, har- mony, and chorus practice receive two lessons a week. Stu- dents may enter at any time, but it is very desirable that they should begin with the term on account of grading, time of lessons, &c. A careful examination is made by the teacher in
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 33
charge, regarding the proficiency of all new pupils, that they may be properly classified in the course.
Sheet music, books, &c, can be obtained at reduced rates.
Those who complete the required course of study in either Piano or Aroice are awarded a diploma. Diplomas will be con- ferred only at the Annual Commencement.
PREPARATORY YEAR.

ART DEPARTMENT.
This department is well supplied with studies from the best artists, new additions being made from time to time. Ample opportunities are afforded for obtaining instruction in Free-hand Drawing, both from casts and the flat, Modeling in Clay, Paint- ing in Oil, China and Water Colors. It is intended to impart essential principles while training the eye and hand to accurate and successful practice.
Special advantages in this department are afforded by a sys- tem of giving daily lessons, which is not customary in schools not especially devoted to Art.
Students will find works of interest and assistance in the Col- lege Library.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 35
@ENERaii Information.
T EBANON VALLEY COLLEGE is located at Annville. J-V. This village is noted for its healthfulness and freedom from those temptations to vice so common to cities and large towns. It is accessible from all points, being located on the direct route of railroad travel from Harrisburg, via Reading, to Philadelphia or New York. Trains stopping at Annville leave Harrisburg and Reading seven times a day, Sunday excepted.
Buildings and Grounds.
There are two large brick buildings, capable of accommodat- ing a large number of students. The rooms are arranged for two students each, are well ventilated, contain clothes-presses and other conveniences.
There has recently been erected a third building, containing the Library, a large and well-lighted Art-Room, two Music Rooms, the entire Department of Natural Science, with its Laboratory and Museum. There is alo a fine campus of about six acres.
The Ladies' Hall is entirely separate from the other premises, and is under the immediate care of the Preceptress. Young ladies from abroad are furnished comfortable and pleas- ant homes, where they have every advantage for study and general improvement. Non-resident students board in the Insti- tution, where they are under the continual care of the President and Professors,
Furnishing and Outfit.
Students are required to furnish their own bedding, except the mattress, bolster and pillows. They should have their blankets, sheets, pillow-cases and clothing indelibly marked with their full name.
36 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
Spending Money.
Patrons are kindly but urgently reminded that students need very little pocket money.
It should be remembered that luxurious habits and good scholarship seldom go together, and that the principles and practice of economy are essential to a good education.
For All.
It is desired that the facilities of the College be kept within the reach of all, and it is therefore urged that jewelry be left at home, and that in dress there be no vain display of wealth.
All that is beyond a becoming neatness should be discarded by the student.
Discipline.
The object of the Institution is to afford a home, where pa- rents or guardians may place their sons, daughters, and wards, with safety and profit, and where young men and young women may be fitted for usefulness under influences calculated to refine their tastes, ennoble their aspirations, discipline their intellectual powers, and devolop a high Christian character. The Govern- ment of the College is strict, but parental, making its appeal to the student's own sense of honor, but no one habitually guilty of immoral practices, or who is persistently disorderly, can be tolerated in the institution. Every unexcused absence, failure, or misdemeanor of a student is reported to the Faculty, and a record made of the same.
The first three demerit marks will subject the student to pri- vate reproof; the first six to reproof before the Faculty ; the first nine to reproof in public, with notice to parent or guardian ; and the first twelve to dismission from the College.
The Faculty may, on evidence of reformation, restore a dis- missed student.
Studies and Recitation.
Students are required to pursue the studies of the classes to which they are assigned, unless exempted for special reasons.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 37
No student is permitted to take a study to which he has not been assigned, nor to discontinue a study without permission obtained from the Faculty.
Grading.
Students are graded on their work in the Recitation Room. The standard of perfection in scholarship is ioo. The student's standing is determined by the average of his term and examina- tion grades. A grade of less than 65 per centum will compel the student to submit to a second examination, or to repeat the study with the next lower class.
Parents having children in the College classes, and desiring their report and grades, may obtain them by applying to the Secretary of the Faculty.
Examinations.
Regular examinations are held at the middle and close of each term. The examinations are intended to be thorough, and have an influence in determining the standing of the student.
In all cases, when from any cause a student has failed to be present at the regular examination, he shall- undergo an exam- ination before being permitted again to recite in the classes of the College.
The final examinations of the Seniors are held two weeks be- fore Commencement, from which time they are subject only to such duties as are required for their preparation for graduation.
Candidates for class standing other than those who have regu- larly pursued their studies at the College, or who bring certifi- cates of class standing in other institutions, are required to pass special examinations, either at the beginning or end of a term. Examination fee, four dollars.
Promotion. At the beginning of each term, the old classes are re-organ- ized and new ones formed. At or near the close of each academic year, the names of all the members of each class sep-
38 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
arately, come before the Faculty for promotion, and those of the Senior Class for graduation, and no student is promoted to a higher class, or to graduation, except upon the unanimous vote of the Faculty.
Rhetorical Exercise.
All students upon entering the Institution are assigned to rhetorical classes, which are met on Wednesday of each week by members of the Faculty for Literary drill. These Rhetoricals, together with the Literary Societies, afford sufficient opportu- nities for exercise in Composition and Oratory. Advanced classes in the College are required to take part in public exer- cises two or three times a year.
Leave of Absence.
No student is allowed to be absent during the term without special permission. The absence of a student, for even a day, during his term-time, exerts on his progress an evil influence, which is seldom fully appreciated by parents and guardians ; hence no apology, but that of sickness or unavoidable accident, is sufficient to excuse a student from a regular attendance at recitation.
No student, during the term, is expected to quit the Institu- tion without the consent of the President and Faculty.
Any one withdrawing from the Institution during term-time without giving due notice and having permission to do so, will be marked upon the records as having irregularly withdrawn.
Any student prevented from attending class must present to the Professor in charge a written excuse for being absent.
Religious Exercises.
Religious service is held in the College Chapel on the morn- ing of each day, and all students are required to attend.
Students from abroad, who are residents of the College, are also required to attend public worship on the Sabbath in the College Chapel, unless otherwise directed by the Faculty, ex-
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 39
cept those who on account of church membership, or wish of parent or guardian, may prefer to attend church elsewhere.
A students' prayer meeting, to which all are invited, is held on each Tuesday evening.
Y. M. C. A.
There is a thrifty organization of the Young Men's Christian Association in the College which holds its meetings on Satur- day night of each week. The moral influence of this organi- zation is very salutary in the Institution.
Literary Societies.
There are connected with the College three literary societies — the Kalozetean, the Clionian, and the Philokosmian. The second is the Ladies' society. Each has its proper hall and its own library. These societies are regarded as valuable aids to college work, and students are advised to join one of them.
Physical Culture.
A well equipped gymnasium is in operation in the main Col- lege building, to which all students have access at stated times by the payment of a small fee. A careful " Director " has over- sight of these exercises to guard against accidents and immode- ration.
In addition to the physical discipline of the gymnasium, the students are required to take regular exercise in the open air when the weather will admit of it, and every precaution is taken to foster health.
Help for Indigent Students.
The College has methods of assisting a limited number of worthy young men who have not the means of defraying their own expenses, and yet scores apply from year to year, both of ladies and gentlemen, whom we have not the means to help. May not the statement of this fact be a sufficient appeal to lead many to endow scholarships, the income of which will be suf- ficient to help to an education those who could not otherwise obtain it?
40 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
Libraries and Cabinets.
The College Library, to which all the students have daily ac- cess without charge, contains twenty- five hundred volumes. The libraries of the literary societies also comprise a respectable number of well-selected and standard volumes. The libraries are constantly increasing by donations from friends and from the proceeds of a constantly accruing fund.
The cabinet contains a collection of specimens in Mine- ralogy, Geology and Natural History.
Reading Room.
There is in the College a well-stocked Reading Room which is daily accessible to the students, and in connection with it a Natural History Club which operates in conjunction with the corresponding department of the institution.
A small fee is charged for reading room privileges.
Degrees.
Bachelor of Arts. — This degree is conferred in course upon any student of the College who completes the studies of the Classical Course, and passes a satisfactory examination upon the same.
Bachelor of .Science. — This degree is confererred in course upon any student who completes the studies of the Scientific Course and passes a satisfactory examination upon the same.
Master of Arts. — This degree is, on application, conferred upon any Bachelor of Arts, who has, for at least three years after his graduation, devoted himself to literary or professional pursuits, and has, during the same time, sustained a good moral character. Fee, five dollars.
Inquiries Concerning Departments.
Persons wishing more detailed information than is given in this Catalogue, as to Courses of Study, Methods of Instruction, Examinations, etc., may address the President or the Professor in charge of the department concerned.
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE. 4 1
Schedule.
At the end of each term a Schedule of the College Exer- cises for the ensuing term is issued. Every student must take the equivalent of at least fifteen periods of recitation each week, unless excused by special action of the Faculty.
Normal S. S. Class.
A Normal Class for the instruction of Sunday School Teach- ers is conducted on each Sabbath morning by one of the Pro- fessors. The Course of Instruction reaches over one year, and is the one provided for and used at the Chautauqua Assembly. A diploma issued by the Sunday-school Board of the United Breth- ren Church is granted to students who complete the course.
Lecture Course.
A course of Popular Lectures will be delivered during the Fall and Winter Terms by some of the most noted Lecturers in the field.
Rev. M. P. Doyle, Prof. Bernard Bigsby, Prof. J. P. Mac- lean, President Edward H. Magill, L L. D., of Swarthmore College, Prof. Wm. B. Bodenhorn, A. M., Superintendent of Public Schools of Lebanon county, Hon. Henry Hauck, Dept. State Superintendent, and Prof. H. Lenich Meyer, have lec- tured during the present year.
In addition to these lectures, there was a lecture each week by a member of the Faculty upon miscellaneous subjects.
Announcement and Suggestions.
Additions are being made from time to time of apparatus for philosophical and laboratory purposes as well as of specimens of scientific and historic interest. Many of these additions are the gifts of friends to whom the College makes grateful ac- knowledgement.
The institution is prepared to suitably preserve and exhibit all specimens of any value, and in all cases the wishes of donors will be respected.
42 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.
Specimens in Geology, Mineralogy, Botany and Zoology are especially solicited.
Contributions to the College Library will also be highly ap- preciated, especially of old and rare books and manuscripts, which are liable to be lost if they are not deposited in the li- brary of a permanent institution.
Books, specimens and antique relics should be addressed to the librarian or Professor of the Natural Science Department, with the donor's name legibly signed.
Terms and Vacations.
The Collegiate Year is divided into three terms.
The Fall Term will begin Monday, August 29th, 1887, and will end on Friday, December 23d, 1887.
The Winter Term will begin on Monday, January 9th, 1888, and will close on Friday, March 23d, 1888.

The charges for room rent, heat and furniture is made on the basis of two persons to each room. In case where a student rooms alone he will be charged 50 cents additional per week. Any student not boarding in the institution and occupying a room in the building will be charged a reason- able rent for the same.
Extra washing, plain pieces, 50 cents per dozen. White dresses, etc., extra.
Each student will be held accountable for any damage he or she may cause to the college property. Damages by unknown parties may be assessed to the school. A deposit of $3 must be made on entering to cover damages that a student may do to room or other property. This will be returned when the student leaves in case no injury has been done.
Tuition and room rent are counted from the time of entering to the end of the term, and tuition from the first of the term for entrance second and third week.
We urge a comparison of these charges with those of other schools, be- lieving that such a comparison will establish the fact that our rates are more moderate for the advantages afforded than can be found elsewhere.
Terms of Payment.
All fees for diplomas and degrees must be paid thirty days before Com- mencement.
One-half of all other bills in advance. Balance in the middle of the term.
No student can have a special examination or be admitted to classes until all bills are satisfactorily settled with the Financial Secretary.

]$N£>OWMENT.
There are Christian men and women who could not devote themselves to the pursuits of knowledge for want of means ; throughout their life they have felt that they might have been more useful and happy, had the oppor- tunities of securing an education been afforded them. Will not these men and women become the benefactors of those worthy young people, many of whom now are thirsting for an education, but who are so circumstanced that they cannot obtain it ?
Those wishing to consecrate some of their means to such an end, are solicited to endow limited scholarships in Lebanon Valley College, to assist those who are deserving of help. These may vary in amount from $500 to $2,000. They may also help to bring the opportunities of an education within the reach of those in limited circumstances by contributing to the endowment .of the College.
Form of Scholarship Bequest.
I bequeath to my executors the sum of dollars, in trust, to pay
over the same in . . . . months after my decease, to the person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of Lebanon Valley Col- lege, founded at Annville, Pennsylvania, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, as a scholarship fund, the interest of which only is to be loand without charge to such pious young people as the Faculty of the College may deem worthy of help as students, the principal of the scholarship to be under the direction and management of the Trustees of the College.
Form of Bequest to the Endowment Fund.
I bequeath to my executors the sum of dollars, in trust, to pay
over the same in months, after my decease, to the person who,
when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of Lebanon Valley Col- lege, founded in Annville, Pennsylvania, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the same to be sacred as an endowment fund in said College, the interest only to be used for the payment of instructors
in the department; the principal of said bequest to be under
the direction and management of the Trustees of the College.

Dealliess, Diseases of tie Ear aVGatanl.
By DR. C. E. SHOEMAKER,
The well-known Experienced Aural Surgeon of Reading, Pa.
SENT FREE TO ALL.
This Guide to the Afflicted — a book of nearly ico pages — fully explains all about the Cause, Symptoms and Treatment of Deafness, Diseases of the Ear, and Catarrh, why they are not treated successfully by so many who claim they can cure them, and -what is absohitely necessary to obtain a cure in such cases, and whom to trust and who not to trust, in order to be properly treated and not imposed upon.
Dr. C. E. Shoemaker is a regularly educated Physician and Surgeon — having graduated from the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, at Philadelphia, March 3, i860, and after some years in successful general practice, took up the study of Aural Surgery and entered liellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City, where, under able instructors, as also at the Hospitals, Ear Dispensaries, and Institutes of that city, he mastered this branch of medical science, and since then has devoted all his time to the treatment of Deafness, Diseases of the Ear, and Catarrh exclusively.
Dr. Shoemaker gives his personal attention to every patient, and pre- scribes specialty for each case. Not from one bottle, or the same remedy for all cases, but only such remedies as an able and experienced Physician and specially educated Aurist would prescribe for such ailment after 26 years' experience.
Dr. Shoemaker keeps a full supply of the most valuable instruments to aid the deaf to hear, which the afflicted are always allowed to test before buying the same. By sending 50 cents to pay postage and expenses in sending, the Doctor will forward any he sells, ly mail to any address, and in case of buying, the 50 cents is deducted from the price or cost of instru- ment.
No one afflicted with Deafness, or Catarrh, or bad Headache (which is almost always caused by a mild catarrhal affection^, should fail in sending his or her address for a copy of this valuable guide. The Reading, Pa., Daily Times, says : " Every family should have a copy of this book."

THE U. B. MUTUAL AID SOCIETY
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Principal Office, - Lebanon, Pa.
The U. B. Mutual Aid Society is the oldest Assessment Company in this country. It has an assessment basis of $ 10,636,500, and has surplus assets over liabilities amounting to $181,901.
It has paid to the beneficiaries of deceased members up to January 1st, 1887, the enormous sum of #4,921,071, of which $58,715 was paid to the families of deceased ministers who were members of the Society. Bishop J. J. Glossbrenner, of the United Brethren Church, who died in January last, was its first president, and had his life insured for $4,000. His first certificate was issued to him March 16th, 187 1, for #1,000, at age of 58 years, on which he paid the Society $603.12. The same amount of insur- ance for the same age and time in an old-line company would have cost him $833.12, or $230 more than in the U. B. The Society opened a new Division — E — three years ago, in which are embodied all the improve- ments which sixteen years' experience have indicated.
Only males between the ages of 20 and 56 years are admitted in this Di- vision. None but the very best risks can become members of this Division, and the result of this careful selection in three years' experience is, that there have only been seven losses during this whole period, and that the assessments to a member 45 years of age on $1,000 was only #2.33 a year.
