' ' Lebanon VaUe ' KBANON Valley College was founded to meet a need in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ in the East. Other institutions of learning had been founded in the states beyond the Alleghanies, but as the years passed, the growth of the church in the eastern states demanded a school for the training of its young people in the best things of life. Thus about the close of the Civil War this imperative need culminated in an effort to find a suitable location . Annville was finally made the choice of the committee appointed for the purpose, and here the college was founded in 1866. It was char- tered in 1867 by the Legislature of Pennsylvania with full power to do the most advanced collegiate work. In accord with the purposes of the founders to establish an institution that would meet the needs of the times in general and practical training, with a view to the best intellectual development and equipment, the col- lege offers three courses of study — Classical, Scientific and Musical. The buildings are three in number and a fourth is now in process of construction. This latter has been made possible by the generosity of an earnest and enthusiastic friend of the college,, and will be the home of the Conservatory of Music, together with the Library, Reading Room and Society Halls. The college has been co-educational from its founding and numbers among its graduates many alumnae who are to-day serving their gener- ation in the responsible duties that devolve upon refined and cultured womanhood. The alumni are to be found in every section of the country, and engaged in the professions and varied occupations open to the trained of the sterner sex. Many others — numbering into the thousands — have received partial training and are the better in personal ability and char- acter and in service and practical usefulness to society for such training. — Anon.

Editors ' Greeting. nothp:r year has rolled by and out of it has sprung this, the second number of the Bizarre, the product of the honest and industrious labors of the Class of 1900. Recognizing the efficiency of Lebanon Valley College under her present management, and the demands of the times, we have endeavored to present to our readers a book which we believe to be in full sympathy, and which shall represent the inner life of our college during the past year. In gathering material for this volume we have received the uniform courtesy of all classes, societies, etc., and extend our hearty thanks for the same. We trust that no offence will be occasioned to an} ' one on account of whatever may appear to be grinding in these pages, but that these things will be taken in the light in which they were intended, viz: as jokes. Hoping that this Bizarre may meet with approbation whithersoever it goeth, we submit it to our readers. The editors rest, now let the cross examination of the critic begin. — Editor.s.
