General Information

THE Mount Gretna Summer School is an extension of the work of Lebanon Valley College, authorized and approved by the trustees of the college and directed by the faculty. The sessions are held at Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania, in the buildings of the Pennsylvania Chau- tauqua Association. The environment, the social life of the resort, the opportunities for healthful recreation, as well as for quiet and effective study make this an ideal location for the Summer School. The courses are planned primarily for the following groups of men and women:

I. Those who wish to complete their college entrance re- quirements.

II. Those who desire to shorten the period of college resi- dence or to make up deficiences.

III. Teachers of Elementary schools, high schools, and normal schools who seek advanced instruction with or with- out the idea of acquiring a degree.

IV. Other persons who desire collegiate instruction or courses for general culture.

ADMISSION AND ATTENDANCE

There are no formal examinations for admission to the sum- mer school. Students, both men and women, will be admitted to such courses as the respective instructors find them qualified to pursue with advantage.

In order that the work may proceed with dispatch upon the opening of the term, it is urged that arrangements for registra- tion be made by mail. Applications for admission and regis- tration will be received by the Registrar up to and including Friday, June 23; address, Annville, Pa.

On Saturday, June 24, Monday, June 26 and Tuesday, June 27, registration will be continued in the C. L. S. C. Build- ing, Chautauqua Grounds, Mount Gretna. The registration hours will be from 1 P. M. to 4. P. M. Classes will be open to

6 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

all on June 26 and 27, but after June 27 they will be restricted to duly registered students.

Regular exercises will begin promptly on June 26. Notice of any proposed addition or cancellation of courses must be re- ported at once in person at the Office of the Registrar. Stu- dents will be allowed, after securing the consent of the Direc- tor, to make changes in their courses up to and including Tuesday, June 27, but after June 27 they will be permitted to make no changes whatever. Full credit will be given only for those courses for which students have registered and paid not later than June 27. Students registering June 28 to July 5th, inclusive, may receive half credit for the work done in any course; but students entering after July 5th will receive no academic credit. A student attending any course is re- quired to do the full work assigned to the class; auditors are not admitted. Absence from class exercises may be excused only in case of illness.

PROGRAM

Exercises will be held every day in every subject, but no stated exercises will be held on Saturdays. Each course will consist of thirty lectures or other exercises, or their equiva- lent in laboratory or field work.

Students are allowed to take one or more courses as they desire, although they are advised not to exceed six credits. All courses are assigned a certain number of tuition points and most courses have a credit value. A point is the credit gained for a duly matriculated student upon the completion of an hour weekly for one academic half year, or the equiva- lent thereof, unless otherwise specified, and is designated a semester hour credit. One hour of lecture or recitation, or two hours of laboratory or field work daily during the summer session will cover the requirements for two semester hours towards the bachelor's degree.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

The sessions are held at Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania, in the buildings of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Association, situated on the grounds of the Association. These buildings, especially designed for educational work, contain commo- dious and well equipped class rooms and are located in the

MT. GRETNA SUMMER SCHOOL 7

heart of the resort. Adjoining the grounds of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Association are grounds of the Campmeeting Association of the United Brethren in Christ. This resort of nearly five hundred cottages, scattered among the trees and shrubbery, accommodates a summer population of several thousand people. To the west of the grounds of the Chau- tauqua Association is the beautiful Lake Conewago which offers splendid facilities for bathing and boating. This lake is fed by pure mountain streams flowing from innumerable

CAMPUS VIEW

springs of the finest water to be found. The grounds also ad- join those of the military reservation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where encampments, attended by thousands of soldiers are held annually.

Mount Gretna is situated on the Lebanon Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, eleven miles from Conewago where it forms a junction with the main line. At Lebanon this railroad joins the Philadelphia and Reading, so that Mount Gretna is within commuting distance of Lebanon, Lancaster and Harris- burg. It is, moreover, easily accessible from these points by automobile, being located midway between the Lincoln High- way and the William Penn Highway.

Mount Gretna is a paradise for the Naturalist or Biologist. The opportunities for study of inland forms of life are un- limited. An abundant variety of plant and animal associa-

8 LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

tions and varied ecological conditions are accessible. The topography consists of mountains with a wide range of forest trees and shrubs, deep ravines, with cold mountain streams, carrying the pure spring water through densely vegetated swamps out into richly cultivated meadowlands. Old fields, once under cultivation and now reserved for military purposes, supply unusual types of uncultivated forms of life. The lake and ponds are rich in aquatic forms, some of which are very rare. The flora is rich in fungae, mosses, ferns and flowering plants. Over thirty species of ferns are found in the vicinity. Over one hundred species of flowering plants have been iden- tified by classes in a single day's tramp. An herbarium of several hundred species may be collected in a season.

Birds and insects are abundant both in species and numbers and in the summer season offer excellent opportunities for the study of breeding habits and life histories.

All necessary equipment from the biological laboratories of the college will be transferred to a laboratory which has been provided in the Hall of Philosophy at Mount Gretna.

ENTERTAINMENTS AND LECTURES

During the Summer Term a number of entertainments will be offered by the students of the school. Weekly lectures will be given to the entire student body by different mem- bers of the faculty.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE

During the closing week of the Summer School the United Brethren Bible Conference, directed by many of the most noted Bible teachers of the day will be in session on the grounds of the Campmeeting Association, to continue for a period of ten days.

THE FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

Although announcement of the Summer Session preceded the opening of the school by only several weeks, the attend- ance exceeded expectations and emphasized the need of the work offered. The session was not only successful from the standpoint of the number of students but from the character of the students, their loyalty and cooperation, and the ex- cellent quality of the work accomplished. The school is particularly indebted to the Pennsylvania Chautauqua As-

MT. GRETNA SUMMER SCHOOL 9

sociation through whose earnest and devoted cooperation its work was made possible. The complete educational equip- ment of the Association is generously placed at the disposal of the school.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Numerous demands from public school teachers striving to meet the higher educational standards required of them by recent legislation, and the appeal from the State Department of Public Instruction for the school to shape its curriculum to meet these requirements, have resulted in the organization of a separate department of the school which, following directly these suggestions, will be devoted entirely to the in- terests of teachers.

ENROLLMENT

Enrollments for the Summer Session of 1922 indicate a large increase in the number of students over the Session of 1921. Accommodations will be arranged by the school for those who request that this be done and register at a date early enough to make this possible.

A number of desirable rooms have been offered for students by the cottagers. Since the student body must be limited in accordance with accommodations and educational facilities, it will be to the advantage of the student to register as soon as possible in order to be assured of enrollment at the opening of the school.

RECREATION

The private beach of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Asso- ciation adjoins the grounds of the Summer School and is open to the students. This is an ideal resort for bathing, boating and canoeing and is visited each afternoon by a con- siderable portion of the student body. The refined nature of the amusements of the resort commend them to the student seeking healthful recreation after the strain of a hard day's study. A summer camp for men and boys, under the super- vision of the school, enables the student to enjoy the outing of a mountain camp while engaging in the regular work of the school. Tents will be provided by the school for those who apply within a reasonable time before the opening date.
