f d LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE- 1914 Q ] The Engle Conservatory of Music The Engle Conservatory of Music is one of the oldest of our build- ings, having been erected in 1905. It is the gift of Benjamin F. Engle, who during his lifetime was one of L. Vs. most earnest supporters. The building is three stories high and is built of brownstone. On the first floor are the chapel, which has a seating capacity of about 600 and which contains a large pipe organ and a stage adequate for theatrical per- formances, star-course numbers, etc. ; the offices and parlor of the Depart- ment of Music; and a dressing room. The second floor contains practice rooms well equipped with pianos. On the third floor is a fine suite of rooms for the student-janitor of the building and the halls of the Kalo- zetean Literary Society. Page 19 ,j d ' ' ; ■ - y , ' -, %Cy ' ' ■fi ' C U n-

% -MB Ilia |IW f LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE- 1914 U j The Library The Library, which is situated south of the administration building, is partly the gift of Andrew Carnegie, whose name it bears. It is model- led after the Gothic type of architecture and well serves the purpose for which it was intended. Unlike the other college buildings it is only two stories high. On the first floor are the offices of the librarians, two read- ing rooms, and the book stacks. The one reading-room is well supplied regularly with a large number of the popular, educational, literary, religi- ous, social, and scientific journals and magazines, and local and metropoli- tan newspapers; while the other reading-room is for the use of students engaged in research work. These publications in connection with govern- ment reports, etc. are filed on a large semi-circular balcony and are of al- most inestimable value to students engaged in special research work or to those desirous of obtaining special or general information on the topics of the day. The library proper consists of 14,000 volumes, to which has recently been added the library of the late Dr. Eberly. On the second floor are the commodious recitation-room of the Department of Oratory and rooms designed to accommodate future additions to the library. Page 18 J

f LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE- lOT t j] P i! ' ■■ : : S l ; : m m:i ill! The Girls ' Dormitory The Girls ' Dormitory is a three-story building and modern in every respect. In the basement is a large kitchen and laundry. On the first floor is our college dining-room, which could amply accommodate another time as many students as it now does; the parlor, which is the scene of many a brilliant social occasion and the place where the girls entertain the fellows ; and lounging room for the girls. On the other floors are the suite of the matron, the rooms of some of the lady professors, and those of the young ladies — in all there are accommodations for about fifty ladies ; and the hall of the ladies ' society, the Clionian Literary Society. This is one of the most artistically designed and best executed buildings we have. This, of course, is perfectly proper, since it contains the best part of the student bodv. Page 20
