1866 19161 Lebanon Valley College will observe its Fiftieth Anniversary in June, 191 6. Among the speakers on this occasion will be the Hon. M. G. Brumbaugh, Governor of Pennsylvania, the Hon. Henry Houch, Secretary of Internal Affairs of Pennsylvania, and others prominent in church and state. The College has always stood for high ideals and symmetrical development of all its students. Its graduates from the various departments number almost a thousand, while great numbers of others studied in its various courses. These have gone out to fill places of honor and responsibility in almost every state in the Union and in many foreign countries. The work is divided into five general departments, namely, College Proper, Academy, Music, Oratory and Art. The general trend has been upward and onward. Its beginning was very humble, but it has grown to be one of the great denomina- tional schools of the state. Its buildings, grounds and equipment are worth $300,000; its endowment fund and other assets add $100,- 000 more, so that the College is valued at $400,000. Its buildings are new and modern with one exception. The student-bodv has grown until it now numbers 42c;, the largest in the history of the school. The College department proper enrolled this vear 276, while three vears ago the department numbered 121 and the total number in all the departments was 242. The freshman classes the last two vears have each numbered about 100 as compared with 22 eleven years ago. We have outgrown our dormitories. Fifty of our students are compelled to room out in town. Our dining hall is no longer adequate. More than a hun- dred take their meals in the ladies ' parlor. Our general advancement along all lines calls for an enlarge- ment everywhere. We can have from i;oo to 1000 students in a few vears if we are prepared to accommodate them and I believe our people are ready and equal to the task. Among our present needs are a Men ' s Dormitorv, a Woman ' s Dormitorv, a large Dining Hall, an Flectric Light Plant, and an adequate Endowment Fund. When this is done we can have and will have 1000 students. Let us all say, If anybody can do it, we can, and then conclude by saying, We can do it, and we will. —DR. G. D. Gossard, Pres.
