PREFACE
TO THE STUDENTS
This is your stude nt handbook. Whether you are a senior or a freshman, you should know its conter ts. Requirements for graduation. What constitutes eligibility. Rules for probation. Class attendance. Procedures for change of curriculum. These points and many others are answered for you in your handbook. Ignorance of any of the rules and regulations as set forth in this book is no excuse.
You are all urged to take full advantage of the coun seling program. Know your counselor and your division chairman. Your professor sets aside a number of hours a week for office consultation with you and his other students. But you must make the appointment.
Best wishes to the Class of '67.

STUDENT HANDBOOK 5
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO THE STUDENT BODY Over the past few years I have on numerous occa sions placed great emphasis on PMC's physical and edu cational developments, its new physical plant, its ex panded faculty, its better selected student body, and its sharper cadet corps - in short, a PMC whose educa tional excellence makes it stand out among other col leges. These are exceedingly important attributes for they to a great degree determine the value of the PMC diploma in the academic market place. Ours is a college rich in accomplishments, proud of its traditions, and, above all, known for producing grad uates of character and integrity, none of which are dulled by PMC's new achievements. In the midst of other advances, we must continue to emphasize those things which characterize the PMC Man and mark him in all walks of life - his sense of honor, his sense of fair play, his respect for the rights and privileges of others, his loyalty to his country, and his pride in himself and in PMC. These a re the marks of a "Man of PMC." These are the characteristics which you seek as you choose PMC for your education. As a member of the PMC student body - cadet or day student- it is your respon sibility to uphold this standard everywhere. May I extend my sincere personal greetings to each of you, and especially to those of you who join the PMC family for the first time. 6 STUDENT HANDBOOK

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
The students of Pennsylvania Military College, believ ing that the true development of character and respon sibility lies in the ability to govern themselves, have established student government under a constitution. This constitution makes each student at Pennsylvania Military College a member of the Student Government Association and vests the Student Council with the au thority to make and enforce regulations governing stu dent activities and class organization as set forth in the constitution; HOWEVER, the Student Government Associ ation does NOT have jurisdiction over those aspects of student life covered by College Cadet Regulations. The attitude of every student should be one of cooperation, with a realization that the safety and general welfare of the students as a whole demand rules which may seem unnecessary to the individual; for only in this way can student government be effective. The Student Council has signed the following pledge and each student should include it in his own code of honor: "I hereby pledge my honor as a student of Pennsyl vania Military College, that I will abide by the regu lations of the Student Government Association, and that I will do honest work in and out of classes, and that for protection to myself and to others I will discourage any dishonest work or any violatior d the regulations that comes to my notice."

Any student whose grade point average is below 1.00 at end of any academic year (not including sum mer school) will be dropped. F. No student with a cumulative average of less than 2.00 in the two preceding semesters will be permitted to carry any overload. No student with a cumulative av erage of less than 3.00 in the two preceding semesters will be permitted to carry an overload of more than one course. Students whose cumulative average in the two preceding semesters is 3.00 or better will be permitted to carry overloads approved by their major adv·iser and the chairman of their division. G. A student who fails a course three times will be debarred from further repetition of the course and, if it is a required one, will be subject to mandatory change of curriculum or dismissal from college as the case may be. H. If a student carries less than twelve semester hours during a summer, the grades will be averaged with the grades of the preceding semester, and his academic standing will be determined by the revised average. If more than eleven hours is taken, the summer session establishes a new semester average of its own. I. Any student whose academic standing is so low that he would be placed on academic probation or dis missed and who successfully petitions for a change of curriculum, w ill be placed on academic probation in new curriculum and must remove it during following calendar year. J. A student deficient either in academic average or course completions is expected to attend summer sessions to the extent necessary to correct the defici ency. 66 STUDENT HANDBOOK K. ELIGIBILITY: Only those students in good academic standing in accordance with the above regulations will be permitted to: 1. Hold an elective office in a campus organization 2. Participate in intercollegiate athletics as a member of a squad or team 3. Hold any military rank in the cadet corps
II. ATTENDANCE A. Class Absences With the exception of the summer sessions, a student may be absent from a course twice as many times per semester as the course meets per week and remain eligible to stay in the course. In the summer pre-session program he may be absent from one day's class meet ing; in each of the other summer sessions he may be ab sent from two days' meetings. If he exceeds this limit he will be excluded from the course as overcut, and his course grade will be recorded as F. Instructors w ill keep their own attendance records. It is the responsibility of a student to keep record of his own attendance. However, he may, from time to time, request his instructors to tell him what his attendance record is. When a student is overcut, the instructor will notify the Dean of the College in duplicate on a form provided by the College and exclude the student from the course on verification of the Dean of the College. However, the instructor may permit the student to sit in class until he, the instructor, has verified the stu- STUDENT HANDBOOK 67 de nt's status w ith the Dean of the College, which should be done with the least practicable delay. The Dean will the n notify both the student by mail and the Recorder. The Recorder w ill record the course failure; retaining th e overcut notice. I In cases of prolonged absences from College of more tha n a week. petitions for reinstatement may be address ed to the Academic Council. Any such petition must be J acco mpanied by documentary evidence, in case of ill ness by a medical physician's report on a form prov1ded by the College. Special furloughs, senior furloughs, emergency dental a ppointments, etc., must be taken within the limits of the allowed cuts. It is evident from the foregoing that o student is never safe in taking more than half of the allowed limit of cuts. It is emphasized that the cut allowance is pro vided to take care of all emergencies, and that it is not an invitation to the student to absent himself from class without good reason. B. Field Trips The above cut rule is construed to cover all absences due to college activities, curricular and extracurricular (i ncl uding field trips), except those absences specifically authorized by the President of the College as advisable for the purpose of publicizing the institution. Ill. CURRICULUM IRREGULARITIES A. Change of major. Any student desiring to change his major w ill obtain first the approval of the Dean of Student Personnel, 68 STUDENT HANDBOOK
who will, if he approves, issue a form in sextuplicate to the student. The change must then be approved, and the form initialed, by the new and old major advisers, and finally by the Dean of the Colle,ge. The student will then return the form to the Dean's Office for distribution.
B. Procedure for dropping courses. Any student desiring to drop a course must ·obtain the permission first of his major adviser, then of the Dean of the College, who will notify the Recorder's Office, and lhe instructors involved, of courses dropped. A student who drops a course with the approval of the Dean of the College later than two weeks beyond the opening of a semester, but earlier than four weeks before its close, will be given a WP or a WF (Withdrawn Passing or Withdrawn Failing) for the course. A student may, with the permissi on of the Dean of the College, STUDENT HANDBOOK 69 ------drop a course during the first two weeks of a semester without record; if he drops a course during the last fo ur weeks of a semester, or drops a course withou~ r ermission at any time, he will receive a grade of F fo r the course.
IV. EXAMINATIONS A. Re-examinations. Fi nal and comprehensive re-examinations will nor ma ll y be given only in the case of unavoidable absence or other extraordinary circumstances, and then only upon recommendation by the instructor and authorization by the Dean of the College. Each final or comprehensive re exa mination given will be reported to the Business Office, w hich will charge each student taking the re-examination a fee of five dollars. B. Make-up examinations. It will be the prerogative of each division to dt•termine ;Is policy with respect to the making up of all quizzes a nd examinations (except final and comprehtnsive exa minations) missed by a student. Each division will a nnounce to the students its policy in this respect, and fi le a statement of its policy in the office of the Dean of the College. C. Final examinations. A. final examination will be given in each course. Th e nature and weight of the final examination w ill be at !he discretion of each division, provided these are consistent within the division. Copies of all final exam in a tions will be filed in the Office of the Dean of the Co llege. 70 STUDENT HANDBOOK
Any student whose account is not fully paid will be barred from final examinations unless previous ar rangements ore mode with the Business Office. D. Incomplete grades The grade of INCOMPLETE may be granted by the faculty only on the approval by the Dean of the College; this grade must be mode up within six .weeks after the end of the semester or else the grade will be automa tically converted from INCOMPLETE to FAILURE. V. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION* A. Curriculvm Revisions. Revisions in curriculum requirements will apply only to semesters beyond the student's level at the time of their introduction. B.

In the past, students of Pennsylvania Military College have occasionally sought to demonstrate, or to further, college spirit by making mischievous or even vandalic expeditions to rival campuses in anticipation of athletic contests. They have also sometimes made forays to neu tral locations where such contests were to be held, and they have on occasion caused damage, destruction or defacement at Pennsylvania Military College itself. Th is institution will always be in sympathy with any STUDENT HANDBOOK 79 proper measures for development of college spirit which ma y be undertaken. However, activities of the type de scribed do not fall into this category, and they fre que ntly operate to the detriment of our athletic endeavors rather than to their advancement. In addition, they re fle ct unfavorably upon the serious purposes of Pennsyl van ia Military College and the responsibility, maturity and discipline of its student body. The College wishes therefore to make it clear that ac tivities of the types mentioned are prohibited. This policy is f ully applicable even if the specific purpose of the contemplated action is not destructive or vandalic in nature. ' In the future, should any violation of this policy occur, it w ill be dealt with with utmost severity. Not only will a pp ropriate disciplinary action be taken against the students concerned, but they will be held strictly and personally liable for any damages or losses which may result. DRINKING. No alcoholic beverages will be introduced into any college building or on any property of the Col leg e; no student will appear on the campus under the infl uence of alcoholic beverages. A student who violates this rule shall be expelled or otherwise penalized ac cord ing to the nature and degree of the offense. GAMBLING is prohibited. GOOD CAMPUS CITIZENSHIP. A student is expected to fo ll ow the rules of the College, both in the classroom and on the campus. He will be friendly and courteous toward his fellow students and all members of the College staff. It is incumbent on a good citizen to use only the paths and walks on the campus and to keep the grounds free of unsightly trash. 80 STUDENT HANDBOOK GYMNASIUM, first floor of the Charles E. Hyatt Armory, open from 9:00a.m. until 5 :45 p.m. Soft sole shoes MUST be worn on the gym floor. SMOKING is prohibited at all times. IDENTIFICATION CARDS.

THE LIBRARY
HISTORY: PMC'S MEMORIAL LIBRARY is a handsome building of Georgian Colonial architecture. It was opened in 1952. The entire cost of the building and its furnishings a nd equipment was paid' for out of gifts from trustees, a lumni, parents, students, and friends.
The library collection is a rapidly growing and well balanced assortment of those books and m,agazines in all fi elds of knowledge that are considered most appropriate to all the purposes of this college. In July 196 ~ the collection included about 40,ooo volumes of bound books and periodicals, 45 drawers of pamphlet mate rials, 500 phonograph recordings of music and litera ture, and was receiving more than-S'OO periodicals each month. The collection is growing at a rate of 3,500 volumes a year.
The greater part of the collection is located on open shelves and stacks: Periodicals are in the· North Reading Room; reference works, in the South Reading Room; and ci rculating books, in the stacks bel~w the South Reading Room. Reserve books are kept behind the loan desk.
There are a number of special collections. Most notable a mong them are: The Lt. William J . Wolfgram Englis!-. Reference library, established by his parents and friends a s a memorial to the former cadet who, in 1945, gave hi s life in battle in Italy; the Sergeant Marshall Moss Science library, established as a memorial to another fo rmer cadet who died in the War; and the Military Col lection, an extensive group of books dealing w ith the history and conduct of war. 84 STUDENT HANDBOOK

Students ore not permitted to be in the library at any times other than during the hours posted even though the library doors may be found to be open. The library is never "open", and may not be used or materials with drown from it unless on attendant is on duty. Infractions of this rule will be dealt with severely. RULES The sole purpose of the library rules is to facilitate the use of the library. These rules ore posted on a bulletin board adjacent to STUDENT HANDBOOK 85 the entrance, and students ,will be held responsible for knowing them. Special note should be taken of the following: NO TALKING! Students are not permitted to talk in the rea ding rooms or stacks and ore required to maintain q ui et in all ports of the library building. NO SMOKING! Students are not permitted to smoke in the lavatories, the corridors, or in any part of the library building. ALWAYS enter and leave the library by main entrance only. Do not use any other entrance or exit except in case of serious emergency, such as fire. NEV ER replace books or other materials on the shelves; lea ve them on the tables in the reading rooms when you finish with them. NEVER come behind the loan desk or enter any office or workroom without express permission. NEVER enter the library at hours or on days when it is not scheduled to be " open." The days and hours of o pening are posted at the entrance. ALWAYS observe the circulation rules. NEVER take books out of the library without first charging them out at the loa n desk. Most books "circulate;'' that is, they may be borrowed from the library for a period of two weeks. Ex ceptions: Reference books, periodicals and other serials do not circulate; reserve books and Wolfgram collection books ore ordinarily restricted to use in the library; pam phlets circulate for 3 days only; recordings ore restricted to use in the library. ALWAYS note the date a book is due a nd return it promptly or have it renewed. ALWAYS re spond promptly to Library notices. Failure to observe these rules will result in penalties.

ALWAYS conduct yourselves quietly and with considera tion for others while in the library. INTERLIBRARY LOANS AND USE OF OTHER LIBRARIES The college is located in an area notable for the num ber of its academic and research libraries, but students must exhaust the resources of the PMC library before seeking permission to visit other libraries. A student wishing to visit another library should first obtain a letter of identification. Applications for letters should be made to the Readers' Services Librarian. In most in stances, a letter of identification will permit reference use of another library but not the withdrawal of books. Withdrawal of materials from other libraries should be made through the interlibrary loan provisions. Generally, permission to visit other libraries and inter library borrowing will be restricted to up perclassmen and faculty members. FINES: Because the late return of books may inconven ience other borrowers and adds to the cost and difficulty of service, fines are imposed on delinquent borrowers. To avoid fines, always check the date due that is stamped in the books, note any special restrictions that may be imposed by the loan desk attendant, and return them promptly when due or have them renewed. The borrower is charged 2¢ per day for each two-week book returned late. Room use reserve •books may not be taken frorr. the main floor of the library. For failure to comply w ith this rule, $1.00. Reserve books charged out STUDENT HANDBOOK 87 for overnight use are due before 9:00A.M. the next day the library is open. For returns after 9:00 A.M., 25¢ for the first hour, and 5¢ per hour thereafter, up to 8 hours, a nd 50¢ addition9l for each subsequent day or fraction thereof. For late return of 3-day and 7-day books and pamphlets, 10¢ per day will be charged. For each over d ue notice that must be sent to a borrower, 25¢ will be charged in addition to the fine. Failure to receive notice that a book is overdue does not relieve the borrower from his responsibility for return of the book and pa yment of the accumulated fine . For a lost book, the borrower will be charged the list price plus $2.00 to cover processing and replacement costs, plus any fines that ma y have accrued up to the time of reporting the book lost. Failure to pay any fines due will result in the with ho lding of grades and credits, and in the case of seniors, of diplomas and transcripts. If it should become necessary fo r the Business Office to bill a student for delinquent fi nes, a surcharge of $1.00 will be added to the other charges due.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower and President Cla rence R. Moll at PMC , 31 May 1963. STUDENT HANDBOOK 89 HISTORY OF P.M. C. Chartered since 1843, PMC has had collegiate powers si nce 1847. The College traces its origin from two sources, both boys' schools founded in Wilmington, Delaware. Th e first, begun by John Bullock, a leading Friend, opened in 1821 and became the leading boys' school in the city. In 1846, Samuel Alsop succeeded the founder to the control of the institution and conducted it until 1853, w he, he transferred, by sale, the equipment and good w ill to Theodore Hyatt, then the principal of another boys' school. The latter gentleman had previously been in charge of the parochial school of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington. From 1853 to 1859, the school w a s known as Theodore Hyatt's Select School for Boys. The second, The Wilmington Literary Institute, begun by the Reverend Corry Chambers in 1839, was incorporated by the Delaware legislature, February 28, 1843. In 1846, it became a military school, and, in 1847, its charter w as amended, changing its name to 1 he American lit e rary, Scientific and Military Institute and giving it col leg iate powers. In the fall of 1858, military instruction was introduced into the Hya.tt School and on Febr- uary 16, 1859, this school, using the charter of The Wilmington literary In sti tute, .was incorporated as the Delaware Military Acad e my, with Theodore Hyatt as president. The trustees of the new institutions, including the Rev. Mr. Chambers, w e re essentially those who had incorporated The Wil mi ngton Institute in 1843. On April 19, 1859, the Gov e rnor of Delaware, Hon. William Burton, ordered the d e livery to the institution of "certain public arms," equip me nt which consisted of an outfit of rifles and two six pound field pieces. Six days later, April 25, President 90 STUDENT HANDBOOK Hyatt was appointed aide-de-camp, with the rank of • colonel, on the staff of the, Governor. At the opening of the War Between the Sta.tes, in creased facilities for conducting the Academy became necessary. Accordingly, an extensive school property at West Chester, Po., was leased, and the school was then incorporated in Pennsylvania under an act of Pennsyl vania State Legislature, approved April 8, 1862, by Gov ernor Andrew G. Curtin. The new charter invested the Board of Trustees with all the powers and privileges of a military university. It authorizes the conferring of scho lastic h~nors and degrees, enjoins the conduct of theo retical and practical military instruction, and empowers the State authorities to supply arms for infantry, ar tillery, and cavalry drills, together with tents and other camp equipment. The following June, the Board of Trus tees organized under the corporate title of Pennsylvania Military Aoademy and elected Colonel Theodore Hyatt president of the institution. The first session in Pennsyl vania opened September 4, 1862, ,with all the students res:iding at the institution. In December, 1865, the institution changed its location to Chester, occupying, at first, the Crozer Normal School building. Two years later a fine tract of land was ac quired near the northeastern border of the city, and in June, 1867, the cornerstone of the present main building of the College was laid, construction being completed in time for the doors to be opened to the incoming corps of cadets on September 3, 1868. In 1869 the Military Department of the College was accorded Government recognition under Act of Congress, by the detail of an officer of the United States Army as Professor of Military Science and Tactics and an additional STUDENT HANDBOOK 91
off icer as Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tac tics, and by the furnishing of equipment and supplies for military instruction and training. This official connection w ith the Government, which has continued unbroken th roughout the years, includes all cadets in its operations, but it has never imposed any obli.gation of service to the United States, nor does it now impo~e any other obli gation than that of good citizenship. In order that the name of the institution might indicate without ambiguity that the legislature had invested the Board of Trustees 1with collegiate powers and priv ileges, the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County; Pe nnsylvania, on December 12, 1892, changed the cor porate title to Pennsylvania Military College. In the fall of 1918, all qualified students were in ducted into the Army but remained in. the College under the Students' Army Training Corps. The curriculum and Mi litary Science Program of PMC were such as to fall naturally into the pattern of the SATC. likewise, dis ba ndment of the SATC and1the return to ROTC following the next ·Christmas vacation had no serious impact on the institution. In November, 1934, the corporation became a non profi t, non-proprietary institution. The Board of Trustees, a se lf-perpetuating group, controls and operates the Col lege under the College charter. In 1942, early in World War II, the College adopted a year-round program of acceleration, revising its cal end ar in April, 1943, to a yea.r of four 12-week terms, corresponding to the then-proposed Army Specialized Tr a ining Program. The next month, all seniors·and juniors were called to active service in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, leaving the College depleted of students. However, 92 STUDENT HANDBOOK on 14 June, 1943, a Basic Engineering Unit of the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) was activated and continued to April, 1944. In July, 1944, Army Special ized Training Reserve Program was activated. The last ASTRP bo-ys left in May, 1946, overlapping by three months the incoming flood of veterans. In view of their previous military tf"aining and ser vice, veterans were admitted as non-military students, both day and boarding, and the long tradition of PMC as an exclusively military college with an exclusively boarding cadet corps came to an end. In 1949, off-campus living privileges for residents of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, were extended to non veterans on a day-cadet basis. At present, students liv ing within easy commuting distance are enrolled as day students, regardless of their military status; and all cadets are again members of the boarding Corps of Cadets. Prior to World War II, the curriculum at PMC had been largely technological and business. In 1947, academic offerings were expanded and now include programs in Liberal Arts, with majors in English, History, and Political Science; Science, with majors in Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry; Business Administration, with majors in Accounting and Economics; and Engineering, with majors in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineer ing. Beginning in the fall of 1948, a program was offered for Secondary School Teachers' certification. In 1954, in order to provJde a needed community ser vice, an Evening Division was launched and now pro vides degree pro,grams in Accounting, Engineering, and Management. STUDENT HANDBOOK 93 In 1956, an Industrial Services Center was developed to provide training programs and allied services to our ind ustrial community. This long record of traditional success does much to develop the espirit de corps in the PMC Cadet and a sense of pride in the day student which is conductive to e liciting the best efforts of both.

Annual Alumni Hollow Squa re Ceremony June 1963
PENNSYLVANIA MILITARY COLLEGE ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION
The Associatio n, formed in 1872, bore the name of Pennsylvania Military Academy Alumni Association, and Ch arles E. Hyatt was its first Secretary. None other than the fabulous R. Kelso Carter, of who m ma ny an old graduate has hea rd, w a s the first President. Th e recited feats of this gentleman always were good for raised eyebrows and some aspirations to emulate. 106 STUDENT HANDBOOK Because of the wide areas from which students came, there was formed in Chicago a Western Associ - tion of what was then the P. M. C. Alumni Association. This continued until the desire as first expressed in 1898 for a home or rallying place for graduates was realized in the dedication of the former "Alumni lodge." In 1905 the formal arrangements having been made, the Western Association disbanded and the united forces formed what is now the Pennsylvania Military College Alumni Association. The fraternity of the Alumni of such an institution has an almost unique nature, for the ties that bind men in such four years of training is a weld ing force, which under the high standards of P. M. C. discioline makes for the appreciation of personality and character. The growth in numbers of the Association has always been slow, save in the days of World War II, and since 1949, the greatly increased student body has enabled our Alma Mater to graduate unprecedented numbers. The present membership is approximately 3500, and in view of that, future days of much wider usefulness are clearly foreseen. The Constitution of the Association provides that: 1. Members: Every graduate at the adoption of this Constitution of the Pennsylvania Military College Alumni Association is, and every future graduate shall be, ipso facto, a member of this Association. Every student of the College who has completed one semester of full time study and who has left the College under honorable conditions shall, at the time of gradu ation of the class in which he entered, be a member of this Association. 2. Associate Members: Any person who has gradu- STUDENT HANDBOOK 107 a ted from the Pennsylvania Military Preparatory School, or w ho has completed at least one year in the aforemen tioned school between September 1953 and June 1956 sha ll be an Associate Member of this Association. 3. Affiliate Members: Any person who has completed a course of study and receives on Associate Degree or Certificate from the Evening Division of the Penn sylvania Military College shall be an Affiliate Member of this Association The dues are $5 per annum; life Membership, $50. This latter class may be attained by payment of $10 in five successive years. The objective of the Association is. "to further the ac quaintance and good fellowship among Pennsylvania Mil itary College Alumni and Students, and to promote the best interests of the College." All students ore cordially invited to visit the Alumni offi ce from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to look at archives,' to study the· history of Pennsylvania Military College, and to a cq uaint themselves 1with the Alumni Association.
