CV.d iLlli.f 11- t -4 Yesterday Today Tomorrow In the year 1866, vhen President Thomas Ries Vickroy hegan teaching classes in the old Annville Academy, he also wound tlie springs of a clock, that clock whose dial is the symbol of the passing scene at Lebanon Valley College. One year later the college was chartered by the state of Pennsylvania under its present name, Lebanon Valley College, and construction was Ijcgun on its first building. A new insti- tution of liigher learning was ushered into the world, but as is the case with all infants, it had to lie nurtured and properly cared for. To this end, there came to Lebanon Valley College a group of devoted professors and educators who gave the school a firm foothold in the direction of its avowed interest — leaching young men and young women to I)ecome l)etter Christians and better citizens. Countless revolutions of the hands and a few decades later found the face of the clock changed even more. Many new Ijuildings such as Engle Hall. Carnegie Library, North Hall and Men ' s Dorm now dotted the campus. Along with the rise of its physical plant, the administration constantlv tried to secure the best available professors for its faculty. This policy greatly enhanced the quality of education that was being afforded to the students. It is a policy for which we, as students might well l)e grateful. Today we are involved in another great face lifting of the clock svmbolizing the growth of our college. The echo of car- j)enters ' liammers. concrete mixers, and pneumatic drills from the walls of the new Women ' s Dormitory were lost in the din of the new library rising from the dust. It appears that the time piece shows no signs of slopping or even slowing down. Through the years, as the school grows in both academic and physical stature, we will come to look with pride at the ever-changing face of that symbol, the clock that represents all that Lebanon Valley College is, was, or ever will be.
