PORTRAITS OF THE FOUNDERS AN EDITOR ' S GUIDE The passage of decades often can be chronicled in the architecture of this 200 year-old nation, as evidenced in the opening photographs of the University Center, first as it stood in the late 1800 ' s (once known as Packer Hall), then as it appears today. This campus and the Bethlehem community have changed radically throughout the eleven decades of Lehigh ' s existence. However, as the introductory section reveals, both the community and the University have preserved their founding spirit and historical identity. Lehigh founder Asa Packer, once of the nation ' s earliest industrialists and philanthropists, founded in 1865 a University which soon became a leader in blending technological and scientific training with study or the liberal arts. In 1976, an age which places increasing importance on technology, Lehigh continues to embrace this founding philosophy. It is therefore appropriate to focus this 100th yearbook of Lehigh on our founder, and subsequent pioneers of his ideals. The 1976 Epitome undertakes to provide Portraits of the Founders during Lehigh ' s embryonic stages. This book is a capsulized history of Lehigh and American educational ideals of the late 1800 ' s. The Epitome also provides a personalized collection of the issues and events of Lehigh from 1972 through 1976. The traditional ingredients - senior portraits, directory, and sports, also have been maintained. We hope this Epitome, divided as outlined below, will provide a comprehensive portrait of Lehigh, one which will sustain interest through coming years. V OR£WORP , lo tke : iru-stee-s, i- ] -.. .

SPEAKERS AND ACTIVITIES The theme of Portraits of Founders is supported in this collection of the pioneers and leaders who lectured or performed on campus this year. Also included in this section, (pages 24 through 65), is a fairly extensive collection of student organizations which reflect the direction of this University in 1976. » r I E r THE LEHIGH EXPERIENCE This section provides a light-hearted, pictorial essay of The Lehigh Experience for 1976 graduates. The essay, compiled by Jo Fineman (pages 68 through 81) begins with the brief memoirs of one of Lehigh ' s older alumni, in order to provide a historical backdrop for the subsequent contemporary portrait. 18, Editor ' s Guide
