Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book recounts the first 25 years of Lebanon Valley College, from its initial inception, through several expansions, and even a change in leadership. Beginning with the 1866 purchase of the original academy building, which was owned by the Annville Academy, this book covers the legal and nancial challenges of establishing Lebanon Valley College, while placing these events within the broader context of higher educational institutions of the period. The author discusses the complex negotiations between the founders and various annual conferences of the United Brethren Church, and the establishment of a Board of Trustees to oversee the nances and operations of the school. At its inception, Lebanon Valley College was widely supported, and the text details both the reasons for and challenges to that support. The book also examines the process of establishing a curriculum and attracting students, as well as the leadership provided by key administrators and faculty members. Overall, this book provides insightful content for anyone with an interest in the history of Lebanon Valley College, or of higher education in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
