ORGANIZATION.
The College is composed of seven Academic Schools or departments, as follows :
I. School of the Latin Language and Literature.
IL School of the Greek Language and Literature.
in. School of English and Elocution.
IV. School of Modern Languages.
V. School of Mathematics.
VI. School of Natural Sciences.
VII. School of Mental and Moral Sciences.
In addition to these a professional course in Pedagogy is offered. Instruction is also given in History and the English Bible.
In every department correct English, in grammar and spelling, is a requirement The student is graded according to his knowledge of English syntax, orthography, punctu- ation and pronunciation.
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.
1.-SCHOOL OF LATIN.
PROF. DILL.
The subjects taught are the Latin language and literature. The studies of the department comprehend a course of four 3'ears, divided as follows ;
lO IIOWAKO COI LEGK.
SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS.
Tlie requirement for admission into this class is a fair knowledge of English Grammar.
In this department the aim is to prepare the student to read intelligently the less difficult Latin authors. Thor- ough drill in the inflections and elementary syntax, in the translation — Latin into English and English into Latin — first, of simple sentences, and, later, of more difficult ones and of passages of easy Latin prose, constitute the work of the first year.
Text-book : Tuell and Fowler's First Book in Latin.
FRESHMAN CLASS.
Text-books : Casesar's Gallic War, Cicero's Orations against Cataline and Allen & Greenough's Latin Grammar.
In connection with the text read, the class makes a re- view and further study of the inflections and syntax. A written translation of an English exercise into Latin is re- quired at leact once a week.
SOPHOMORE CLASS.
Text-books: Virgil's Aeneid, Horace's Satires and Epis- tles, Allen & Greenough's Latin Grammar, a classical dic- tionary, and Collar's Practical Latin Composition.
The course of study comprehends the following topics : First : Throughout the session much attention is paid to the analysis of the inflections of declension and conjugation, the seeming exceptions being explained by the rules of eu- phony. The simple sentence is also analyzed into its com- ponent elements, the connective, subject, verb, object or complement, and adjunct, with their several modifiers. The method of analysis of word and sentence is based upon the Compendium of Analytical Etymology and Syntax prepared by Prof. Dill.
Second : During the first term the class is drilled in the more common and essential rules of concord and government ; in the second term the most difficult points of syntax occur-
HOWARD COLLEGE. I I
ring ill the text are indicated by the Professor, and the stu- dent is required to state the facts involved, and to give the corresponding rule in the Grammar.
Third : Versification and the rules of quantity are studied throughout the session.
Fourth: Mythology, Ancient Geography, and Ancient History are required in reference to the names of persons and places appearing in the text read.
Fifth : Exercises in the translation of English into Latin are required two days in the week throughout the session.
JUNIOR CLASS.
Text-books : Crowell's Selections from Latin Poets, Cicero's Select Letters, Arnold's Latin Prose Composition. Books of reference as in the preceding course.
In addition to the constant review of topics previously taught, the following new subjects are taken up :
First: The rules of word-building are applied to the explanation of derivatives and compounds in the text read. The student is also encouraged by prize marks to apply the principles of Latin word-building to the English language, in the performance of work prescribed by the professor in addi- tion to the daily recitations.
Second : The subject of syntax is also completed by the thorough and exhaustive analysis of compound and complex sentences. The sentence as a whole is defined, and the rela- tion of the several classes explained ; and each clause is analyzed as taught in the previous class.
II.-SCHOOL OF GREEK.
PROF. ANSLEY.
The course of study in this department extends through a period of four years.
The Purpose of Instruction; (i) To lead the stu- dent to the mastery of the inflections of the language, its vocabulary and syntax, and thus enable him to read Greek with accuracy and readiness ; (2) to give him some acquaint-
12 HOWARD COLLEGE.
ance with the masterpieces of Greek literature, and to awaken in him an appreciation of the excellences of Hellenic genius and cultivate a taste for classical learning ; (3) to make the study of the Greek language an aid in the mastery of En- glish, especially in the acquirement of a vocabulary ; (4) the proper use of classical instruction as an effective exercise in training and developing the faculties of the mind.
The Method of Instrcution. — The Freshman Class be- gins with the alphabet — special emphasis being placed upon pronunciation and classification of the letters — and continues, by carefully graded lessons consisting of the Grammar lessons and the exercises in the beginners' book, until the student has mastered the regular inflections of the language. All along careful attention is given to the more important principles of euphony, to accentuation and pronunciation. The student is encouraged to appeal to his reason and learn principles rather than to spend his time in the mere memorizing of forms and facts. The analysis of words, especially verbs, into stem or theme and inflectional endings is frequently re- quired. As soon as the student has passed beyond the First and Second declensions and the Present Indicative of verbs, he is put to reading passages of simple Greek prose. Attention is given to the leading principles of syntax, especially where the Greek differs from the English. An important part 01 the work throughout the session is the translation of English into Greek.. In the second term, the class enters well upon the study of the Anabasis.
The Sophomore Class reads Xenophon ; and, in addition to the review of the topics previously studied, further in- struction is given in the inflections, especially in the irregu- larities of the verb ; and a more thorough and systematic study of syntactical constructions is required. As a further drill in the principles and vocabulary of the language, from once to twice a week exercises in Greek prose composition, based upon the text read, are assigned.
In the second term, the class continues the work of the first term and reads Homer. Scanning, the peculiarities of the Homeric dialect, word-formation and Grecian History
HOWARD COLLEGE. I 3
and Mythology are the subjects which receive special atten- tion. The study of comparative philology is also introduced in the tracing out, in Latin and English, of the cognates of Greek roots occurring in the text.
In the Junior Class, the authors studied are Plato or Lysias, and Demosthenes. The specialties are, the rapid and accurate translation of Greek into idiomatic English and the further study of syntax, especially that of the verb. Occa- sional exercises in writing connected Greek prose are required, each student being assigned a separate exercise and encour- aged to bring up original work.
The work of the Senior Class will depend upon the needs of the students composing it. The class will be occupied mainly in reading the New Testament in the original, in the study of the principles of New Testament Greek, and in oral and written exercises in Greek prose composition.
Throughout the entire Greek course, constant attention will be given to the Greek elements in English words; and the student will be encouraged, in this way, to extend his vocabulary and acquire accurate knowledge of the definitions of English words derived from the Greek.

action. Special attention is given to the cultivation of the voice and the emotional nature. The end sought to be at- tained is the ability to express easily, naturally, forcibly and with pleasure to the hearer, any idea the mind may entertain, whether in private conversation or public speaking.
Defects in utterance, whether natural or the result of habit, are sought to be remedied.
The fact that each of the literary societies bestows a medal upon its best declaimer, is an indication of the interest taken in Elocution.
IV. SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
PROFS. GOODHUE AND BRAND.
A two years' course is provided in both German and French. Thorough drill in the grammars is given through- out the first year. The translation of easy prose, such as Grimm's Maerchen, Super's Elementary French Reader, is begun in the second term of this year. The second year's work will consist largely of reading, prose composition and conversation.

V. -SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS.
PROFS. BRAND AND WALDROP.
This school offers a course in Mathematics extending through the four years of collegiate study. A thorough knowledge of Arithmetic and Elementary Algebra is re- quired for admission into the Freshman class.
Throughout the entire course, reasoning rather than mem- orizing is insisted upon. Numerous original problems and exercises are given, to test accuracy and to encourage self- confidence on the part of students.
The Freshman and Sophomore years include only pure Mathematics. The Juniors continue the same line of work, with the addition of Astronomy, Plane Surveying, and such applications of Mathematics as may seem beneficial to the particular class.
The Senior year, consisting largely of Applied Mathe- matics, is required of none but students of Engineering. This vicinity offers rare opportunities to students of En- gineering. Beginning with the second term of the Junior year, occasional outings will be made to the numerous rail- roads, mines, furnaces, foundries, factories, power-houses, etc., in and around Birmingham.

2
l8 HOWARD COLLEGE.
Medical College. This is an unusual opportunity in this de- partment.
CHEMISTRY.
All students must take this course throughout their Junior year. It embraces : (i) Phenominal Chemistry, and (2) Qualitative Analysis.
Lectures on organic and physiological chemistry will be given in this department, and all students of the regular chemistry class will be required to attend them.
MINERALOGY.
Mineralogy will be taught in connection with chemistry and geology. Text : Dana's Manual.
Second term of the Senior year : Dynamical, structural and historical geology will be so divided and taught as to enable the student to acquire a general knowledge of the subject in the allotted time. Charts, maps and specimens obtained from geological surveys, will be used in teaching the subject. The Birmingham district, with its formations of coal, iron, limestone, and other minerals, affords the best field in the state for the study of Geology. Text : LeConte.
Senior class : Gage's Principles of Physics will be used. Special attention will be given to the general principles and laws of physics ; and it will be the constant effort of the in- structor to create interest in the study by the experiments performed and knowledge acquired.
Electricity, light, and sound will have careful attention; and the students will be encouraged to perform for them- selves such experiments as will be of most benefit to them.
Through the kindness of the Consolidated Electric Light Company, the class will have the privilege of visiting their electric plant.
Howard College, located, as it is, in the Birmingham dis- trict with its varied resources, industries, and institutions, is
HOWARD COLLEGE, 1 9
unsurpassed in facilities for giving students a practical knowledge of the natural sciences.
VII.-SCHOOL OF MENTAL AND MORAL SCIENCES.
PROF. ROOF.
This department embraces regular text-book and lecture courses covering the Junior and Senior years.
The course in Psychology is intended to give the student a clear knowledge of the powers and special faculties of the mind, and to acquaint him with the interdependence of these qualities, the order of their natural development and the re- lations between mental and bodily activities.
Experience has shown that a knowledge of these facts is not only important within itself, but that it aids the student in finding the best means for quickening a healthy and har- monious development of his own mental powers, and assists him in his other studies.
The course in Ethics is expected to furnish the student with a knowledge of the doctrine of human character ; to reveal to him his obligations to himself, his fellows and his Creator; to invest him with the power of self control, and to aid him in forming correct habits of conduct.
The course is as follows : /•
JUNIOR CLASS.
First Term. — Physiological Psychology, James; Practical experiments in the study of the special senses.
Second Term. — Descriptive Psychology, James.
SENIOR CLASS.
First Term. — Physiological and Descriptive Psychology, Roark ; Experimentation.
Second Term. — Ethics, Hickok.
In addition to the text-books mentioned, students will have access to the library of this department and will be re- quired to acquaint themselves with the views of noted authors on the most important topics.
20 HOWARD COLLEGE.
PEDAGOGY COURSE.
The strong and ever-increasing demand for teachers oi professional training as well as scholarly attainments evi- dences the fact that thorough preparation on the part of the teacher is the very best economy of time and money. During fhe past year the Howard has not been able to fill the appli- cations it has received for such teachers. Trained teachers are always in demand at good salaries.
In view of these facts the Faculty has considered it necessary to add to the Department of Mental and Moral Sciences a one-year's course in Pedagogy, for the benefit of studeiits who expect to teach and for teachers who have already had some experience in teaching and who desire to take a professional course to fit themselves for positions more desirable and remunerative.
The course arranged includes the work in Mental and Moral Sciences outlined for the Junior and Senior years, with additional courses in Pedagogy proper, School manage- ment, Principles and Methods of Teaching, History of Greek Philosophy, comparative study of the different Schools of Modern Psychology, Temperaments and Environment in Education, and a study of the principles of lighting, heatings ventilating and sanitation.
This course can be completed in one year by those who give it all their time; and, where the student is able to do it, one or two other collegiate studies may be added without increase of time or expense.
Those who desire to do so may take this with other regu- lar courses, completing it in two years instead of one.
The regular degree for the completion of this course is Bachelor of Pedagogv. Those who have had at least three years' experience in successful teaching will receive the degree of Master of Pedagogy. These degrees, however, will not be conferred on any except those who, at the time of receiv- ing them, are graduates of this or of some other reputable college, or who have done equivalent work.
Women as well as men will be admitted to this depart- ment.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 21
Through the courtesy of Supt. J. H. PhilHps, one of the strongest members of the Howard College Lecture corps, arrangements have been made by which students of this department can visit the Birmingham public schools from time to time and observe the work in a graded school system which is second to none.
BIBLICAL LITERATURE.
DR. HOBSON.
The Bible is the greatest of all books, and no man has a finished education without some knowledge of its teachings. This course is neither theological nor sectarian, its purpose being to give such general information of the Scriptures as every one will need, no matter what his profession in life or his religious creed. In addition to Bible readings and reci- tations, a course of lectures, by the different members of the Faculty and distinguished gentlemen of this and other states, has been arranged for next session. All students beginning with the Freshman class will be required to attend the recitations. The Senior class will be required to stand a satisfactory examination before graduation.
COURSES OF STUDY AND DEGREES.
There are four regular undergraduate courses of study, and one professional course, — that of Pedagogy:
1. The Classical Course (the A. B. Courses I. and II.) The Literary Course. The Scientific Course. The Civil Engineering Course. The Course in Pedagogy. These courses, except the Course in Pedagogy, are out- lined below, and lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Civil Engineering, and Bachelor of Literature, as indicated in the schedule.
The course for the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy is given under " Pedagogy," page 20.
22 HOWARD COLLEGE.
Each of the regular courses requires usually four years for
its completion ; but, in some cases, a course may be com- pleted in less time. Especially is this true with reference to
the course for Bachelor of Literature, which may be com- pleted in three years.

old student ; and those now in the Junior and Senior classes will be allowed, as far as possible or necessary, to pursue their courses as already arranged.
4. Senior Greek is optional with all except ministerial students who are pursuing the Classical Course.
POSTGRADUATE DEGREES.
The postgraduate degrees are Master of Arts, Master OF Science, Master of Literature, and Civil Engineer. A postgraduate degree may be obtained by a graduate of this College, or of any other institution of equal grade, by pursuing, in residence, a one-year's course of study approved by the Faculty.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 29
HOWARD COLLEGE ACADEMY.
(SUB-COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT).
This department is designed to prepare young men for ad- mission into the College classes. The students are under the same regulations and enjoy the same advantages as those in the College. The methods of instruction and the courses of study conform and lead directly to the College Curriculum, thus making the department a natural and easy door to the College. Students bearing certificates of proficiency from this department are received into the College classes without further examination. Any student deficient in the studies of any Schools of the College course is allowed to finish these studies in the Academy, and at the same time, if desirable, pursue other studies in the College.
The instruction in the Academy is given by the Professors in the College, and, in some cases, by competent assistant in- structors.

BUSINESS COURSE.
Believing that a thorough elementary education is the prime essential for mastering a commercial course of studies.
30 HOWARD COLLEGE.
and enabling one to use successfully the knowledge thus ob- tained, the Faculty has decided to offer to young men of limited means and time a one-year's business course. The advantages of such an addition are twofold :
1. Many young men who desire to enter a business Col- lege have never had opportunity to get the elementary edu- cation necessary. Such students may recite with the regular classes of the College or Academy, and at the same time pursue the studies outlined for the business course.
2. Many will desire the commercial training in addition to the regular College course. These will be allowed to take the business course in connection with their academic studies.
For entering this department, a young man should have completed the course, or the equivalent of the course, taught in the Academy, Latin excepted ; but he may carry on the work of the Academy and business course together, subject to the approval of the Faculty.
On the completion of the business course, together with the preliminary studies, a certificate will be granted.
COURSE OF STUDY.
One year's work in English, Book-keeping, Penmanship, Commercial Law, Business Forms, and Commercial Arith
i-netic.

GRADING AND EXAMINATIONS.
In every class the student is questioned on the lesson of the day and graded according to his knowledge of the sub- ject. A record of daily marks is kept by the Professor. At the end of each month an average of these marks is calculated and recorded. From this record the student's class-standing is determined.
To the parent or guardian is sent, monthly, a transcript of this record of class standing, together with such other in- formation as may be deemed important. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these reports may be made of great value in promoting im- provement and in sustaining a just discipline.
EXAMINATIONS.
In addition to the daily questioning, written examina- tions, embracing the subjects treated in a given time, are held near the close of each term and at such other times dur- ing the session as may be necessary. These examinations are given to test the student's knowledge of the subjects passed over and to determine whether he is prepared to pass to a higher class or to graduate. In order to pass, students in all classes must make 70 per cent, of the maximum. In the final average, the examination average counts one-third with the final daily average.
Students must not absent themselves from their examina- tions.

HOWARD COLLEGE. 33
GENERAL INFORMATION
Howard College, the property of the Alabama Baptist State Convention, was chartered by the General Assembly of Alabama in 1841. It has twice been destroyed by fire, but has each time come forth stronger than before. It was first located in Marion, but in 1887 was removed to its present location, East Lake, a beautiful and healthful suburb of Birmingham.
LOCATION.
Ready transportation between the city and the College is afforded by an electric line on which cars run, each way, at intervals of twelve minutes. The distance is six miles, and the fare five cents.
The authorities of the College are largely aided in the ad- ministration of a moral discipline by the favorable surround- ings of the institution.
Religious worship is regularly held every Sabbath in the Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodist churches, which are located within a few hundred yards of the College buildings. By special statute, the sale of ardent spirits is prohibited within a radius of three miles.
INCIDENTAL ADVANTAGES.
By reason of the proximity of Ho^vard College to a large city, it enjoys immense advantages without experiencing the disadvantages of city life.
The life and energy characteristic of this region are apt to awaken a corresponding spirit in the young men who alttnd this institution of learning. This, taken in connection with the public lectures and libraries of a large city, is not without vast benefit to the young men seeking development, while the firm but kind discipline serves to restrain students from the corrupting influences of the city. Birmingham
34 HOWARD COLLEGE.
citizens have remarked upon the fact that no Ho'vard student is ever seen in a barroom.
PERSONAL ATTENTION OF THE PROFESSORS.
The Professors devote all their time to the students, giving instruction in the class room during the day, and visiting dor- mitories night and day. Parents committing their sons fully to the care of the College officers may be assured that physical comfort, moral influences, and intellectual training will be provided.
To avoid distracting influences, to command full attention, and to facilitate study, young men are required to board and lodge in the College, unless their relatives live in town, or by consent of the President, for special reasons.
RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
Devotional exercises are held every morning in the Chapel, and the Faculty and students attend.
Students are required to attend the churches of their choice every Sabbath morning ; they are also required to attend Sabbath school, provided there is one belonging to the church of their choice accessible. They may be entirely relieved of the duty of attendance upon Sabbath school by presenting to the President a written request to that effect from their parents or guardians. In no instance is a student forced to attend any Sabbath school other than the one of his own or his parents' selection.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUNG BOYS.
Special attention will be given to boys under the ordinary age of college students. These will, as far as possible, be placed in the rooms of students of settled habits and good moral character. Ministerial students can often be induced to assume this responsible charge.
SICKNESS.
When ill, students have the personal attention of the Pres- sident and College Physician. Parents and guardians are
HOWAKD COLLEGE. 35
promptly notified of the sickness of students, and advised, from time to time, of the tendency of the disease.
BUILDINGS.
There is one main College building of brick, and there are four brick dormitories ; also a large two-story wooden building with thirty-two rooms for dormitory purposes. Pleasant and commodious quarters are thereby furnished.
The main building is three-stories high, and embraces lecture rooms, offices, laboratory, society halls, and chapel.
LIBRARIES, CABINETS, ETC.
Each of the two literary societies has a good library and the College has one. Additions are constantly being made to the libraries. Contributions of books are earnestly so- licited from the friends of the College.
The Geological and Mineralogical Cabinets contain a large variety of specimens. A handsome series of Maps, Charts, and Engravings illustrate lectures on Geology, Astronomy, and Physiology. The College is in possession of a good chemical laboratory.
PLAN OF INSTRUCTION.
Piofessors and teachers are occupied as many hours as are necessary to examine thoroughly each day all the members of every class, and thus allow no neglect of any study.
The classes are divided into small sections, so that each student may receive special attention. The members of sec- tions are arranged according to merit in each branch, and the students are kept constantly stimulated to attain and preserve good positions.
The progress of each class and the relative merit of the members are recorded. At the end of two weeks the results are reported to the President and afterward posted on the bulletin board for encouragement or warning.
GOVERNMENT.
The government is administered by the President and Professors in accordance with the regulations adopted by the
V
36 HOWARD COLLEGE.
Board of Trustees. A copy of the laws is kept in each student's room.
These laws inculcate manly virtue, preserve order, require sobriety and morality, protect and encourage good students, and do not allow the persistently idle and immoral to remain where they can injure others.
The personal influence of the President and Faculty is exercised to encourage the young men in the discharge of their duties ; and the co-operation of parents is solicited, as the success of college government depends greatly upon the support which is given from home to the administration of discipline.
Daily reports of conduct, and semi-monthly reports of studies, are made to the President. From these, monthly reports are made to parents and guardians. The reports to parents show the absolute and relative standing in each class,, and other facts that may be thought of interest.
CADET CORPS.
P'or the purpose of physical education — erect, graceful and manly carriage of the bod}', a vigorous and healthy con- stitution ; for cultivating politeness, moral courage, respect for self, deference to others, frankness, perseverance, indus- try and self-reliance ; and for giving the mind power of close and continued attention, all students over fifteen years of age are required to join the Cadet Corps, which is drilled not more than one hour a day, and at such times as not to in- terfere with their studies.
No student is excused from this duty, unless it be by the President and Commandant for special reasons.
TO NEW STUDENTS.
If new students will inform the President when they ex-^ pect to arrive in Birmingham, they will be met at the depot by some student, or member of the Faculty.
Baggage of students will be transferred from Birmingham to East Lake on the presentation of the check to the Quar- termaster at the College.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 3/
Rooms will be assigned before the opening of the session whenever application is made. Little trouble, however, is experienced in securing desirable rooms, and the matter can usually be attended to after arrival at the College.
AUXILIARY OR ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.
Any high school or academy in the state, whose course of study and methods of teaching are approved by the Presi- dent and Faculty of Howard College, will, upon application, be declared an Auxiliary or Accredited School of the How- ard, and will be awarded a certificate to this effect. The President invites correspondence with the principals of such schools.
Students presenting certificates from the Auxiliary or Accredited Schools of the Howard will be admitted to the College without examination.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are, in connection with the College and in success- ful operation, two literary societies — the Philomathic and the Franklin. They are provided with well selected libraries, and with elegant halls where they meet every Saturday evening for declamation, debate and other things pertaining to the inter- est of the societies. Besides these weekly meetings, each society holds, during the session, three public meetings, two for debate and one for declamation. The latter are arranged as a part of the Commencement exercises ; and each society gives a medal for the best declamation. The medallists for 1897-98 were as follows :
FRANKLIN.
S. E. Chesnutt Birmingham, Ala.
PHILOMATHIC.
H. B. Woodward Bevill, Sumter Co., Ala.
The two societies unite in publishing the Howard Col- legian, a monthly magazine of about fifty pages.
These literary societies are regarded as valuable aids to
38 HOWARD COLLEGE.
the student in forming a literary taste, in affording oppor- tunities for exercise in debate, and in obtaining a knowledge of parliamentary rules. All students in the College are re- quired to join and attend one of the societies.
THE MINISTERIAL CLASS.
The ministerial students meet Friday evenings for the purpose of studying and analyzing Scripture texts and for the discussion of matters of interest and profit to themselves. A series of lectures by leading ministers and Christian workers is given, and is of great benefit to the class.
By the co-operation of the Executive Committee of the Birmingham Baptist Association, young ministers are given work in the destitute places of the Association. Besides this, the care of churches in the suburbs of Birmingham and at adjacent points is offered. Thus abundant opportunity is afforded for the exercise of the ministerial powers, and lor doing untold good in the Master's cause.
CLASS ORGANIZATION.
The Junior and Senior classes have organizations. The ofificers for the session of 1897-98 were as follows:
SENIOR CLASS.
N. M. Hawley President
Hugh Witherspoon Vice-President
J. H. Perdue Secretary
C. B. McGriff Treasurer

SOCIETY OF ALUMNI.
The object of this society is, to unite the Alumni in a common bond of fellowship, to foster their love for their Alma Mater, and to enliven their interest in her welfare.
The annual meeting is held on Tuesday evening of Com- mencement week. The Anniversary Oration is delivered at 8:30 p. m. of the same evening. The Alumni meet in an- nual banquet on Wednesday evening following.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
The Howard College Athletic Association, composed of students aud professors, will have general control of the gym- nasium and outdoor sports. Physical culture is encouraged by the military drill, gymnasium training and outdoor games. An annual Field-Day, with certain medals to be awarded, will be arranged so as to give greater incentives to this work.
REGULATIONS.
1. The President and Faculty have general oversight and control of all athletics.
2. Any cadet who falls below reputable standing in his class-work is excluded from the privileges of the Association.
3. All practice or match games must be held at East Lake.
4. Only matriculated students of the College are eligible to membership, and the Faculty has the right to remove from the Association at any time any objectionable member.
5. No cadet who has failed in his final examination will be allowed to enter the Field-Day contests for medals.
INFORMATION CONCERNING ENTRANCE, TUITION, BOARD, Etc.
THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR.
The session begins on the Tuesday nearest to the 24th of September, and continues thirty-eight weeks, the annual Com- mencement occurring on the second Wednesday in June. The next session, therefore, will begin September 27, 1898. The session is divided into two terms, the second term begin-
40 HOWARD COLLEGE.
ning February ist. The exercises are suspended for one ■week at Christmas and one day in spring, that is, on "Field- Day," for competitive out-of-door sports.
Students are urged to be present at the opening of the session, and to return promptly after the holidays. The delay or loss of even a few days is often a great hindrance to the future progress of the student.
MATRICULATION.
Every applicant for admission, on arriving in the city, is required to report promptly to the President. To be ad- mitted, he must be of good moral character; and, if he has been a student at another institution, he must present satis- factory evidence of good moral conduct while there ; and he must undergo such examination as will satisfy the Faculty that his character and attainments will justify his admission. Then, after arranging with the Treasurer for his expenses for the term, he is required to matriculate at once.
CLASSIFICATION.
The class the student will enter is determined after exami- nation by the Professors in the departments he may wish to study. Great care is exercised that no one enter higher than liis previous training and present attainments will justify.
ADMISSION WITHOUT EXAMINATION.
Students having certificates of proficiency, or diplomas, from high schools or academies of high grade and recognized thoroughness, will be admitted into classes without exami- nation, and classified according to the degree of advancement indicated by their certificates or diplomas. The student thus admitted will, of course, be transferred to a lower class, if it shall be found later that he was allowed to enter too high at the beginning.
SELECTION OF STUDIES.
A student is allowed to select the course of study that will best qualify him for his life's vocation. The Faculty, be- lieving in the necessity and utility of a broad and liberal
HOWARD COLLEGE. 4 1
education, will always encourage a complete course. To this end, the right is reserved to prescribe the studies of students in any case where, in the wisdom of the Faculty, it seems necessary. The student is expected to adhere throughout the session to the course selected.
Every one is required to have at least fifteen recitations a week. Twenty recitations a week are regarded, in the ex- perience of the Faculty, as sufficient for the average student, and even for the student of greatest capacity. To undertake more than these means a class of work unsatisfactory to the Professor and to the student, and may result in failure. Hence, no student is allowed to carry more than twenty reci- tations a week, unless it be by consent of the Faculty for special reasons.
EXPENSES.
All expenses are payable strictly in advance at the bcgifining of each term.
Remittances should be made by registered letter, money order or New York exchange to Prof. F, M. Roof, Treasurer, East Lake, Ala.
The expenses in detail are as follows :
Tuition. — Tuition in the Collegiate Department is ;^30.oo per term; in the Sub-Collegiate Department, $25.00 per term.
Board. — Board is $50.00 per term for all students. This includes room-rent and the laundry of sheets and pillow-cases. Students lodge in the dormitories, and take their meals at the mess-hall, where excellent table board is furnished. Great care is exercised in the selection and preparation of the food. The rooms of students are furnished with the most approved style of iron bedsteads, on each of which is placed a wire- woven mattress. Tables, chairs, mattresses, and other articles of necessity are provided by the College. Every student, however, is required to bring a pair each of blankets or comforts, sheets and pillow-cases. When he retires from the College, he may remove them as a portion of liis baggage.
42 HOWARD COI.LKGE.
Incidental Fee.- -An incidental fee of $5.00 per term is charged ev^ery student. No exceptions are made. This fee is required for fuel, repairs, and the incidental expenses of the College.
Medical Fee. — Observation has taught us that every student needs some medical attention during the session, while some need a great deal. In order to economize in the matter of medical fees, a College Physician has been elected by the Board of Trustees.
His services will be given any student the entire year for the payment to t'r.e Treasurer of ^2.50 at the beginning of each term.
Every student will be required to deposit this amount as a medical fee with the Treasurer. This does not apply to such students as attend from home, unless they should desire it.
Diploma Fee. — A fee of $5.00 is charged for every diploma conferring a degree.
Laboratory Fee. — Students in the Chemistry classes are required to pay a fee of ;?3.oo for chemicals used in the laboratory.
Cost of Uniforms. — Arrangements have been made by the Faculty with a responsible firm, whereby cadets can se- cure uniforms, made of the best material. West Point regula- tion style, at a cost not exceeding ^14. 50 per suit. While all students in the Cadet Corps are required to purchase uni- forms, yet they cost less than citizens' suits of the same quality, and are more durable. Therefore, they diminish rather than increase the student's expenses at College.
Incidental Expenses of the Student. — In addition to the above named expenses, the student will need a small amount of money for stationery, books, lights, laundr}', etc. But the Faculty would impress upon parents and guardians that students need little money beyond what is advertised in the College Catalogue ; and parents are advised to limit the amount of pocket-change allowed their sons.
When requested to do so, the President or Treasurer will act as Jisca/ guardian of students, granting only such sums to
HOWARD COLLEGE. 43
them as may, from time to time, be needed. Nothing con- tributes more to the demorah'zation of the young man at College than a well filled purse for private use. No student will be allowed /o keep in his room, during any night, a sum ex- ceeding 53.00.
Not infrequently complaint is made because of the ex- travagance of a student at College, as if the institution were responsible for the amounts sent from time to time by parents or guardians. The actual College expenses are stated in the catalogue, and if parents or guardians are lavish in their gifts of money to their sons or wards, they should not hold the College responsible.
SUMMARY OF EXPENSES.
It will be seen from the above specifications that board, tuition and required fees cost the student in the boarding de- partment ;
Collegiate 137.50 per term; S175.00 per session
Subcollegiate $82.50 per term ; $165.00 per sessioa
Students not boarding in the College ;
Collegiate $35.00 per term; $70.00 per session
Subcollegiate $30.00 per term; $60.00 per sessioa
Special attention is called to the fact that expenses have been considerably reduced in the boarding department.
The foregoing expenses are as low as it is possible to make them and yet insure efficient work and first-class ac- commodations. To lower the expenses further would mean to lower the standard of work and the character of accommo- dations. It is proposed, on the contrary, to raise these without increase of expense to the students. No one who understands the importance of the right kind of education would prefer cheapness to thoroughness. It is the purpose of the management to give full " value received " for every cent charged. The Howard's mission is to make ine\i, not money — to protect its students from the ruinous habits of vice and dissipation, and to develop their mental, moral and phys- ical possibilities into strong, harmonious characters, that will

Stand unshaken by the storms of life when weaker ones are falhng about them.
SONS OF MINISTERS.
The sons of active ministers are given one-half of their tuition free.
STUDENTS FOR THE MINISTRY.
Young men studying for the Gospel ministry, who come duly approved by their churches and endorsed by the Board of Ministerial Education, are admitted free of charge for tuition. They are charged for board and fees the same as other students.
Hereafter ministerial students must, at matriculation, pay the dues required at entrance, or make satisfactory arrange- ments for the same with the Board of Ministerial Education. The Faculty will assume no risks on deferred payments.
The Board of Ministerial Education will assist worthy young men from Baptist churches in Alabama in paying their expenses at College. Those needing aid should write to the President or Secretary of the Board for information.

MONEY REFUNDED.
When a student leaves College before the close of the term, board, room-rent, etc., are refunded, but no tuition or medical fee.
