SCIENCE
AT LYCOMING
A LOOK BACK
TO SEE FORWARD
Lycoming College continually
tests the limits and makes
things happen. "Physics and
astronomy at Lycoming differ
from many other institutions
because of the emphasis on
lab-based instruction," states
Dr. David Fisher, professor
of physics. "It helps students
grasp theoretical concepts if
they can see them in practice
rather than just read about
them in a textbook.” After
graduation, Lycoming's
physics majors have followed
careers in industrial research,
secondary education,
development, or continued
their education in physics
or related areas at graduate
schools across the country.
PICTURED: “One of the new
courses being offered at
Williamsport Dickinson Junior
College this year (1941) is a
physics class, which entails two
laboratory periods each week.
Several thousands of dollars
worth of new equipment was
purchased in order to offer the
science course. Students are
pictured during a laboratory
session under the supervision of
Professor Joseph D. Babcock,
who teaches the class.”
