IDistor of tbe Ifnstitution, HE vigorous growth of the Church of The United Brethren in Christ throughout Pennsylvania, Marj ' land and Virginia, and her desire to keep abreast of the times in the moral and intel- lectual culture of her sons and daughters, made Lebanon Valley College a necessitj ' . Accordingly in 1866 this institution was founded, and in 1867 chartered by a special act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Annville, located in the heart of the beautiful Lebanon Valley, was chosen on account of its accessibility, healthfulness and inspiring scenery and because of the liberalit} ' of public-spirited citizens. It is the purpose of Lebanon Valley College to give such liberal cul ture as will qualif} young men and women to be practical and self, reliant as well as learned. The purpose of the founders, as set forth in the charter, was to plant an institution which would become so ample in facilities and manifold in departments as to furnish instruction in all the subjects of a general and special education. Towards this original purpose the institution is rapidly advancing. Its courses of study — Classical, Scientific and Musical — are extensive and thorough, equal to those of the best colleges in the country, pro- viding that liberal culture and breadth of knowledge at which the higher education aims. The buildings, three in number, are situated on a fine campus of about ten acres, within easy access of the railroad station, post-office, churches and the usual business centres. Since the founding of the institution, the following have served as Presidents : Thomas R. Vickroy, i866- ' 7i. Lucian H. Hammond, iSyi- ' je. David D. De Long, i876- ' 87. Edmund S. Lorenz, i887- ' 89. Cyrus J. Kephart, iSBg- ' go. E. Benj. Bierman, i890- ' 97. Hervin U. Roop, 1897.
