L»ebanon Valley College. rf|¥i ¥ ii|i ' Jl HE church of Christ is the repository of divine truth and the ff m fi conservatory of Christian education. This has been and al [f T ji ways will be true. Hence the leaders of the church through [l j] the centuries have been the leaders of the higher education. [Siij5 ' i»iiiil[ jIjinIJ Uwight, Edwards and Finney were great educational as well as religious leaders. Luther, Wesley and Otterbein, great denominational founders, were University men, and hence champions of Christian educa- tion. Though the founder of the church of the United Brethren in-Christ was as scholarly as saintly, the demands for education in our early liistory were either meager or slightly recognized. About the middle of the nine- teenth century, the need of a Christian College in the eastern part of the Church, became imperative and led to the establishment of Lebanon Valley College in the year 1866 and the granting of a Charter, with full University privileges in the following year. By nature ' s endowment, in the heart of Lebanon Valley, unsurpassed in beauty and healthfulness, Annville is the most desirable site in the State, for a college. Three commodious and well equipped buildings, the Ladies Hall, the Administration building and the Engle Conservatory of Music grace the beautiful ten-acre campus. The Conservatory and the annex to the Administration building have been additions of the last three years, with largly increased internal equipments for the growing needs of the College. The enrollment for the past five years, in 1897-124; in 1898- 04; in 1899-257; in 1900-292; in 1901-325; shows our steady and substantial growth . Three standard courses leading to the regular degrees in Arts and Sciences are offered in the College proper, besides the Preparatory and Music courses. Within thirty-four years 318 persons have been graduated and more than 4000 have received partial training for life ' s great work.
