Salutatnu6. fENTLE Reader.— The Third I ' oliime of the BizaeeE, the product of the honest toil and industrious labors of the class -ai of 1901, greets you. We hope that you are eager and anxious to examine the results of our labor. Of course a College Annual is, in a sense, the book of a year and of a Class. That it might not, however, be a mere gay Ephemeron, the Book of a Day, the Editors have tried to give you a Publication which would represent the inner life of Lebanon Valley College, and still hold its place among its contemporaries. Uniform kindness and courtesy were shown us by all classes, societies, and from whomsoever material was obtained. To all contributors the Editors say : Gratias reddimns. All that has been said , and whatever caricatures may appear on these pages, is not intended to harm anyone, but with the kindliest feelings toward all. The work of the Editors is finished. Editors.

Xebanon Dalles Colleoe, ll EBANON Valle3 ' College, founded in faith and prayer, has wrought faithfully and successfully for the Church and the world f i through thirty-four years. Standing, as it does, for character, high scholarship, noble manhood and womanhood, it has wielded a silent but far reaching influence, permeating, uplifting, and vitalizing the whole organism — the Church. The institution has been carried forward as nearly as possible in the spirit of the founders and with gratifying success. Its aim is to secure the highest form and grade of literary, scientific, and Christian education through trained, experienced, and thorough teachers under constant and positive religious principles and influences without restriction of individ- ual opinion. The College offers three full four year courses of study, — well adapt- ed to the attainment of a thorough training for culture and discipline, affording in this way the best preparation for the learned professions, for technical study, or for the practical duties of life. The studies are so ar- ranged that the students, from the very beginning of the course come in contact with the regular professors, thus receiving not only careful per- sonal attention, but also the inspiration which the genuine scholar and teacher, by his influence, always imparts. As a result, the College has again and again sent out students and teachers who have taken high rank and honors in the oldest and greatest institutions in our land. During the past few years the College has had phenomenal success. The number of students has been more than doubled ; the Faculty has been increased ; the courses of study revised and strengthened ; the old buildings greatly improved ; the handsome and commodious Music Hall erected, and now an 84x60 foot wing is being built to the north end of the main College structure. All these improvements are proving satisfactory, stimulating to higher work. The Schools of Music, Art, and Elocution have had an honorable record of success. While we now have the best internal organization and equipment in our history, yet the time has come for even a more vigorous propaganda.
