GENERAL INFORMATION
The School
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY is a high
grade boarding school for both sexes. It offers two years
of college and four years of preparatory work, also
courses in music, art, expression, home economics, and business.
Location
It is located at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, "The Queen
City of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River," on the
famed Susquehanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York,
and Washington, D. C. Statistics prove it to be the healthiest
city in the State of Pennsylvania, and it is reported to be the
third healthiest city in the United States. Williamsport is fa-
mous for its picturesque scenery, its beautiful homes, and the
culture and kindness of its people. The Pennsylvania, the Read-
ing, and the New York Central Railroads, with their fast trains,
put it within two hours' reach of Harrisburg, four and a half
hours of Philadelphna, and seven hours of Pittsburgh.
History
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded in 1848 by a
group of men of Williamsport under the leadership of Rev.
Benjamin H. Crever, who, hearing that the old Williamsport
Academy was about to be discontinued, proposed to accept the
school and conduct it as a Methodist educational institution.
Their offer was accepted and, completely reorganized, with a new
president and faculty, it opened September, 1848, as Dickinson
Seminary, under the patronage of the old Baltimore Conference.
It was acquired in 1869 and is still owned by the Preachers' Aid
Society of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, and is regularly chartered under the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania. It is not a money-making
institution. All of its earnings as well as the generous gifts of
its friends have been spent for maintenance and improvements.
During a large part of its history its curriculum covered the
work now included in a high school course and at the same time
included about two years of college work. By its charter it is
empowered to grant degrees, which authority was for a time
exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself to the college pre-
paratory field and has continued in that field up to the present
time. After considering both the opportunity and the need of
doing more advanced work, the Board of Directors at their meet-
ing in October, 1928, voted to continue the college preparatory
and general academic vi^ork, and to add two years of college
work, paralleling the freshman and sophomore years in a liberal
arts college. These junior college courses are outlined herein
and may be found on later pages of this catalogue.
Grounds and Buildings
The campus is located near the center of the City on a slight
eminence, which causes the Seminary to be affectionately re-
ferred to as "the school upon the hilltop." Stately elms, maples,
and trees of other variety add beauty and dignity to the campus
and form an attractive setting for the imposing buildings. To
the south and across the Susquehanna, within twenty minutes'
walk, is the beautiful White Deer Range of the Allegheny Moun-
tains, affording a view of perennial charm. To the north are
the Grampian Hills. In fact Williamsport, "beautiful for loca-
tion," is seldom surpassed or equaled in its wealth of beautiful
scenery.
On the campus stand the buildings conveniently grouped.
They are of brick and steel construction, heated by steam from
a central plant, lighted by electricity and supplied throughout with
hot and cold water and all modern conveniences. The rooms
are large, airy and well lighted.
The Main Building is an imposing structure of brick and oc-
cupies the central part of the campus. In this building are the
administrative offices, dining room, library, chapel, school parlor,
class rooms, and dormitories. There are hardwood floors
throughout.
Bradley Hall is the Fine Arts Building. It was erected in
1895 of red brick and is modern in construction. The splendid
music studios and practice rooms, the art studios, and the ac-
commodations for the Home Economics Department are here.
The dormitory rooms in this building are large and afford splen-
did quarters for the girls in the Junior College.
The Service Building is also of red pressed brick and is a
modem fireproof building. The basement and the first floor
house the heating plant and the laundry. The second and third
floors contain dormitories and are used for the boys of the Junior
College.
^
The Swimming Pool
The Boxvling Alleys
The Maids' Building is located directly back of the Main
Building and provides quarters for the maids employed by the
school. On the first floor is the school bakery.
The New Gymnasium
The new gymnasium, which was dedicated November 8, 1924,
meets the needs for more adequate equipment in the department
of Physical Education which was felt for a long time.
The building itself is 110 ft. by 88 ft. 6 in., of semi-fireproof
construction, and of beautiful design. The exterior is of red
brick corresponding with Bradley Hall and the Service Building,
with limestone and granite trimmings. A feature of the exterior
architecture is a balcony over the entrance portico.
Entrance to the new building is through a pretentious vesti-
bule flanked on either side with stairs of ornamental iron and
marble. Leading from the entrance hall is a door to a retiring
room for women, provided with ample toilet facilities. To the
left is a room for the Physical Director and an examination
room, from which point of vantage the entire gymnasium is
under the personal supervision of the Physical Director at all
times.
The basement includes a modern swimming pool 20x60 ft.,
equipped with a sterilization and filtration plant, that necessi-
tates changing the water only four times a year. The pool
is constructed of tile and is amply lighted, with large sash to the
open air making a sunlit pool at nearly all hours of the day.
There are also two bowling alleys of latest design with sepa-
rate private rooms and showers for both home and visiting teams.
Provision for private dressing rooms and shower rooms for girls
and women is made.
The gymnasium floor proper is 90x65 ft. with a stage at the
easterly end so that the main floor can readily be converted into
an auditorium if need be, suitable for recitals and even more
pretentious productions. In every way the building is a center
of athletic, social and cultural activities.
Aim
The purpose of Dickinson Seminary is to prepare students
for their life work in a homelike religious atmosphere at a mini-
mum cost. In its Preparatory Department it fits its students for
any college or technical school. For those who do not plan to
go to college it offers exceptionally strong courses leading to
appropriate diplomas. In the Junior College Department it aims
to give two years of college work under the most favorable
conditions, especially appealing to those who graduate from high
school at an early age and who would like to take the first two
years of college work under conditions affording more intimate
personal contacts with the teachers and assuring personal interest
and helpful guidance. It offers a large amount of college work
in the form of electives to those whose college career will likely
be confined to two years.
A Home School
The Seminary recognizes the fact that it is more than a
school. It accepts responsibility for the home life of its students
as well. Every effort is put forth to make the Seminary as home
like as possible. Here lasting friendships are formed, and
memories are stored up to which they may, in future years, look
back with affection and pride.
Cultural Influences
The Seminary aims to develop in its students an easy fa-
miliarity with the best social forms and customs. Intercourse
with young people of both sexes in the dining hall, at receptions
and other social functions, together with frequent talks by in-
structors, do much in this way for both girls and boys. Persons
of prominence are brought to the school for talks and lectures,
and excellent talent provides for recreation and entertainment.
Two courses of entertainment are provided by community or-
ganizations which bring the best artistic talent to the city.
Students whose grades justify it are permitted and urged to take
advantage of these opportunities.
Religious Influences
The Seminary is a religious school. It is not sectarian. At
least four religious denominations are represented on its Board
of Directors. Every student is encouraged to be loyal to the
church of his parents. The atmosphere of the school is posi-
tively religious. Every effort is made to induce students to enter
upon the Christian life and be faithful thereto.
A systematic study of the Bible is required of all students.
Regular attendance is required at the daily chapel service. Stu-
dents attend the Sunday morning service at one of the churches
in the city. On Sunday evening all attend a Vesper Service
10
The Dining Room
Girls' Dormitory Room
At Work in the Art Department
The Dart Board — llie Senior Class Annual
held in the school chapel. There is a weekly Prayer Service
conducted by the President, a member of the faculty, or a visit-
ing speaker. There are chapters of Young Men's and Young
Women's Christian Associations that do active work in promoting
the religious life of the school.
Government
It is aimed to develop in each student a sense of loyalty to
the Seminary and a sense of fitness in his actions through the
appeals of ideals and examples. Offenses are dealt with by the
withdrawal of certain student privileges ; while good work in class
room and good conduct in school life are rewarded by special
privileges granted only upon the attainment of certain levels of
scholarship and deportment.
It is understood that students entering Dickinson Seminary
do so with the intention of making an honest effort to do satis-
factory work in every respect. Where a student is not able to
conform to the school program, the parents or guardians are
asked to withdraw the student from the school.
Coeducation
Coeducation, properly administered, is both highly satisfactory
and desirable. In a coeducational school where boys and girls
associate under proper conditions and supervision their influences
are mutually helpful. Boys become more refined and careful of
their appearance and conduct. Girls learn to appreciate the
sterling qualities of purposeful boys rather than the more flashy
attractions of the fop when they are permitted to associate and
compete with them in the activities of school life.
The apartments of the girls are entirely separate from those
of the boys. Proper supervision of the girls and boys is main-
tained at all times.
Faculty
The Faculty is composed of thoroughly trained, carefully se-
lected Christian men and women. The two ideals they hold be-
fore themselves are scholarship and character. They live with
the students, room on the same halls, eat at the same tables, and
strive in every way to win their confidence and friendship. The
Semmary aims to make the home and working conditions of the
members of the faculty so pleasant they will be encouraged to
do their very best work and look forward to years of pleasant
and helpful service in the school. This policy has resulted in
building up a faculty of which we are justly proud.
11
Athletics and Physical Training (Boys)
The object of this department is to promote the general
health and the physical and intellectual efficiency of the students.
Persistent effort is made to interest everybody in some form of
indoor and outdoor sports. All forms of sane and healthful
exercise are encouraged, but excesses and extravagances are
discouraged. The athletic teams are carefully selected and syste-
matically trained. They are sent into a game to win if they can,
but more emphasis is placed upon playing the game fair and
straight than upon winning. The Seminary is represented each
year in inter-scholastic contests by football, basketball, baseball,
track and tennis teams. An excellent athletic field offers every
facility for football, baseball, tennis, and other out-door sports.
Athletics and Physical Training (Girls)
The aim of this work is the care and the development of the
body by means of appropriate exercises. The results to be
achieved are better health, good poise, and the overcoming of
such physical defects as will yield to corrective exercises. A
portion of the time each week is given to physical culture with
the purpose that the body may become free and more graceful.
The gymnastic exercises consist largely of floor work and include
arm and leg exercises, dumbbell, wand and Indian club work.
All the girls are given training in basketball according to girls'
rules.
Library
A part of the new equipment to meet the enlarged program
of the Junior College is the library. A large, well lighted, and
attractive room conveniently located in the main building has
been provided. The equipment is entirely new including steel
shelving, quartered oak tables and chairs, desk, filing cabinet, etc.
The more than six thousand volumes in the old library were
carefully assorted, retaining four thousand volumes, to which
new carefully selected reference volumes have been added and
will continue to be added. A trained full time librarian is in
charge and every effort is made to train the student in an intelli-
gent use of the library with its facilities.
The James V. Brown Library is within two squares of the
Seminary. Its large collection of books as well as its courses of
lectures and entertainments are freely open to all students of
the Seminary.

THE JUNIOR COLLEGE
The Board of Directors of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary
at their fall meeting in October, 1928, decided to establish a Junior
College Department with a desire to enlarge the scope of service
and influence of the Seminary, This department offers the Fresh-
man and Sophomore years of college work. It is not intended to
interfere in any way with the excellent College Preparatory De-
partment which the school has maintained from the beginning.
The junior college work is organized on a separate basis. The
college students room in separate dormitories and meet in sepa-
rate classes; the faculty meets all of the standard requirements
for college teachers, and the work is in all ways of a collegiate
grade.
The following considerations were taken into account in add-
ing junior college work:
In recent years the enrollment in institutions of higher learn-
ing in Pennsylvania has increased rapidly, far above the average
for the United States and without a proportionate increase in
college facilities. While a great many new high schools have
been built and most communities have increased their high school
facilities, few colleges have been established in the last fifty
years. The lack in expansion and building equipment has re-
sulted in overcrowding and limiting enrollment.
Students are graduating from high schools at an early age.
Crowding into the larger universities while so immature results
in a large freshman mortality which every one, particularly the
parents and young people themselves, would like to avoid. At-
tending a preparatory school after graduating from high school
has its advantages, but the scholastic work in that case is largely
review while those who attend a Junior College get all the ad-
vantages of a boarding school and their scholastic work is of a
collegiate grade.
The Junior College offers many special advantages. Smaller
classes, more frequent contacts with the professors, and larger
opportunity for self-expression are some of the most obvious
advantages. Probably its chief justification is in helping every
student to find himself before he enters into the larger life and
freedom of the university.
The Junior College was opened September, 1929, with an
enrollment of fifty students and with courses in Liberal Arts,
Business Administration, and Secretarial Science. The standards
for Junior Colleges set up by the Association of Colleges and
13
Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland were
met from the beginning. Additions were made to the faculty, a
full time Librarian was added, the Library and Laboratories were
enlarged, new furniture and equipment were added. Thus the
conditions necessary to do satisfactory college work were secured
from the outset. New courses will be added and additional
members of the faculty will be secured as the enrollment and
demand justify.
The Seminary's enviable record made through eighty years
of educational effort in which the highest standards of scholar-
ship and character have been maintained is the best guarantee
that this new department will be maintained on the same high
level, embodying the best of the old and the new in educational
theory and practice.
Requirements for Admission
Fifteen units of high school work are required for admission
to the junior college. Graduates of accredited high schools are
accepted on certificate. Students wishing to pursue a liberal
arts course with a view toward completing the remaining years
elsewhere should be able to present credentials for the following :
English 3 units*
Algebra 1^ units
Plane Geometry 1 unJt
Science 1 unit
Foreign Language 2 units
History 1 unit
Electives 5^ units
Total 15 units
Where the student wishes to pursue only special studies or
courses the above mentioned units are not applicable in detail.
In addition to the above scholastic requirements every candi-
date for admission must present a certificate of good moral char-
acter from some responsible person, a recommendation from his
high school principal; and upon admission he must present a
certificate of vaccination from his physician.
* A unit of work represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary
school consisting of approximately a quarter of a full year's work. Four
years of English, however, are considered as only three units.
14
Requirements for Graduation
The Seminary does not award degrees. Upon completion of
64 semester hours of work the junior college diploma will be
awarded.
Required Work for the Freshman Year
English 6 hours
Mathematics or Science 6 or 8 hours
History 6 hours
Foreign Language 6 hours
Orientation 2 hours
Electives 6 hours
Total 32 or 34 hours
Required Work for the Sophomore Year
English 6 hours
Foreign Language 6 hours
Electives 18 or 20 hoiu-s
Total 30 or 32 hours
Students who desire two years' work of college grade and
who do not for the present plan to attend a senior college later,
may choose their work in both the Freshman and Sophomore
years from a wide range of electives including Bible, Religious
Education, Economics, Business Administration, Sociology,
Psychology, Public Speaking, and Home Economics. The special
departments in Music and Art offer unusual facilities to students
planning only two years of college work.

Secretarial Science
This course prepares its graduates to take positions as "secre-
taries," not mere stenographers.
Business men, leaders in the arts and sciences, and men and
women of affairs in general, require the services of private secre-
taries ; and no other kind of service puts the alert, reliable, and
ambitious young woman or young man in intimate touch with
leaders in the various lines of endeavor as does secretarial work.
Since this work requires a high type of individual and thor-
ough preparation, the compensation and the opportunities for
advancement are much better than for the stenographer.

Music
The highest standard of musical excellence and artistic worth
is maintained in every branch of the musical work at Dickinson.
Special attention is called to the advantages attendant upon pur-
suing a course of study in a regular and fully equipped school
of music. Private and public recitals are frequently held, in
which the students take part. Instrumental and vocal ensemble
work also has a definite place in the curriculum.
Full and complete courses are oft'ered in Piano, Voice, Violin,
Ear Training, History and Appreciation of Music, Elementary
Theory, and Ensemble. All certificate and diploma students are
required to do a certain amount of public recital work, and all
other students are required to appear in private or public recitals
at the discretion of the Director. The length of time necessary
to complete any one course depends altogether on the ability and
application of the student. All students in the Preparatory Music
Course must give a group of at least three compositions in
public in their senior year, and all students in the College Music
Course must give a graduating recital in their final year of work.
Two distinct courses are offered in music : ( 1 ) The Prepara-
tory Music Course, which is a four-year course, designed to be
conveniently taken along with the College Preparatory Course,
or the General Academic Course, or the History and Literature
Course (see page 33) ; (2) The College Music Course, which
combines in an excellent manner a detailed music course and a
considerable amount of work in the Junior College. The College
Music Course is a two-year course, and is open only to those
26
students who present the same entrance qualifications as those
who enter the regular Junior College work, namely a high school
diploma. A Diploma in College Music is granted to a student
who successfully completes the required work in the College
Music Course as outlined in the catalogue below.
The Music Department maintains a Choral Club, an Orches-
tra, and a String Ensemble. Any Seminary students are eligible
to these organizations.
Outline of The Junior College Course in Music
Note: A credit of one semester hour is given for each hour of class
work. A credit of two semester hours is given for each hour of daily
practice, six days per week.

Course, and substitute Harmony II and Ear Training II for the Elective
in the second year, though this will be allowed only in the case of a talented
student, and depends entirely on the decision of the Director and the

COLLEGE PREPARATORY
DEPARTMENT
Courses of Study
The Diploma of the Seminary will be awarded to the student
who completes any one of the following courses: College Pre-
paratory, General Academic, History and Literature, Regular
Commercial, Piano, Voice, Violin, Expression, Art and Home
Economics.
Students completing a course in one of the special depart-
ments but without the necessary academic requirements will be
awarded a certificate instead of a diploma.
The College Preparatory course offered by the Seminary
covers the needs of those preparing for college and technical
school.
The minimum requirement for graduation in the College
Preparatory course consists of fifteen college entrance units,
three of which must be in English, and two and one-half of
which must be in Mathematics. American History, one unit of
Science, and not less than two each of two Foreign Languages
or four of one Foreign Language must be included in the fif-
teen units.
The General Academic course is not intended to prepare for
college. The minimum requirement for graduation in this course
consists of sixteen and one-half units, four of which must be in
English. The student must also have a credit for American
History.
The minimum requirement for graduation in the History and
Literature course consists of twelve units. Only those students
who are graduating at the same time in Music, Art, or Expres-
sion are eligible to graduate in this course.
A student in any course must have to his credit one year of
Bible and one year of Physical Training for each year spent in
Dickinson Seminary.
A unit represents one year of work, thirty-six weeks, five
forty-five-minute periods per week, except in the case of English
and First and Second-year Algebra, in which cases only three-
fourths of one unit is allowed for one year of work.
Wherever elective subjects are listed in any course, it is the
aim of the faculty to schedule a student in the way which will
30
best train him or her for the particular college course or vocation
to be pursued.
Emphasis will be laid upon thoroughness of work. The fac-
ulty reserves the right to limit the number of studies which any
pupil will be allowed to carry.
Students who do not intend to pursue one of the regular
courses, with the consent of their parents and the approval of
the faculty, may elect such studies as they desire.

studied carefully from the beginning to the division of the King-
dom. Selected passages are memorized. Maps are required.
Topics are assigned for investigation. Active use is made of the
Bible itself.

Classical Languages
The practical value of a study of the classics has often been
questioned, but nothing has ever been found to take their place.
The classics are still retained in the best courses of the best
schools, and are pre-eminently adapted to bring the student to
an acquaintance with the sources of inspiration of all the litera-
ture of succeeding periods.
Greek
First Year
First Greek Book, White. The first year is devoted to a
thorough drill of forms, and study of constructions. Stress is
placed upon translation of Greek sentences, including short para-
graphs, giving, in simplified form, the connected story of the
Anabasis. In this way a practical vocabulary is learned for
second year work. There is also the writing of English sen-
tences in Greek, and a study of English derivatives.
Second Year
The second year offers, first, a review of grammar, and then
an advanced and more detailed study of the fundamentals of the
language, together with work in prose composition. The work
in translation includes Xenophon's Anabasis, Books I-IV, and
sight translations from Book V. Goodwin's Greek Grammar is
used as a reference book.
Latin
First Year: Careful study of simple Latin forms and con-
structions. Sight and prepared translation of connected Latin
sentences. Prose composition. Vocabulary building. Study of
simple English derivatives. Frequent reviews to fix the work.
Second Year: Thorough and systematic review of First Year
forms and constructions. Continued study of more difficult in-
flections and principles of syntax. The readings are confined to
easy stories, Roman history and biographies, the first semester,
and to selections from Caesar, the second semester. Study of
English derivatives continued. Prose composition.
Third Year: Review of grammar of the First and Second
Years. The readings are limited mainly to the select orations
and letters of Cicero. Attention is directed to the style, per-
sonality, and influence of the author, and such phases of Roman
life are studied as will lead to a better understanding of the
Latin read. Prose composition.
Fourth Year: Review of grammar of the previous years.
The readings are confined to selections from Ovid and Vergil's
Aeneid. Scansion is emphasized. Assigned readings in mytho-
logy. Continued study of such phases of Roman life as will
help the student better to understand the text read.
English
The purpose of the work in English is to develop, as far as
possible, in every student, the ability to speak and write cor-
rectly. Representative classics of England and America are
studied, along with the history of the literatures of the two
countries. The schedule of English classics for college entrance
requirements is followed throughout the four years. An at-
34 I
tempt is constantly made to instill a "feeling for language," and
to inculcate some conception of style, and toward the end of
the course interpretative criticism on the part of the students
themselves is striven for.
The four books of the "Literature and Life" series, by
Greenlaw and others, are used throughout the course — one each
year. Besides the classics from "Literature and Life" listed be-
low for intensive study during the four years, all the introduc-
tions to the various chapters in the "Literature and Life" books,
as well as practically all of the stories, essays, poems, etc.,
therein, are carefully .read. The chapter introductions to Books
II and IV comprise brief, but comprehensive, histories of Ameri-
can and English Literatures respectively, and are stressed.
Two pieces of written work are required of each student
each week. Oral themes are required also from time to time.
Each student, in addition to his regular class work, must read,
and report on, four books each year. These books are selected
with the approval, or on the recommendation, of the teacher.

functions of words, the sentence, and the paragraph. Attention
is also given to oral expression as a basis for composition writ-
ing. For first practice frequent short themes are assigned.

vidual investigation. Collateral reading of not less than five hun-
dred pages is required. Current topics are emphasized in con-
nection with the history courses.
L Ancient History begins with a brief introduction of the
Eastern nations, which is followed by a thorough study of Greece
and Rome, to about 800 A. D., with special reference to tlieir
institutions and permanent contributions to the modem world.

and by the use of models, the student is helped to a comprehen-
sion of figures and relations in three dimensions. The practical
application to mensuration problems are a feature of the course.
Solid Geometry, Durrell and Arnold.

SPECIAL INFORMATION
Young people of good moral character may enter the Semi-
nary at any time for a single semester or longer.
Applicants must bring certificate of work done and recom-
mendation from schools previously attended or from former
instructors, or other responsible persons.
Students from a distance are required to live in the buildings,
but those having near relatives residing in Williamsport are some-
times granted permission to make their homes with them.
Students are expected to come on the first day of the semester
and remain until the last day. Absences from classes, at the be-
ginning or end of holiday recesses, count double and will not be
excused, except for very special reasons.
Parents should not call their children home during the semes-
ter. Any absence interferes with good work.
Permits from home are accepted as advices, not mandates. In
any case the final decision as to whether a permission will be
granted, rests with the President and Faculty. A permit, to be
considered, should be mailed directly to the President.
No student shall be considered as having severed his connec-
tion with the Seminary, until notice has been given and permis-
sion obtained from the President.
Students must report at the Seminary immediately upon ar-
rival in Williamsport.
Students should be sparingly supplied with spending money.
Whenever desired a member of the Faculty will act as patron,
paying weekly such allowances as may be designated, and super-
vising all expenditures.
The whole wardrobe for girls should be in good taste but
simple and inexpensive. Unbeseeming costume and elaborate
jewelry are not permitted.
Frequenting hotels and pool rooms, using intoxicating liquors,
playing at cards or games of chance, indulging in coarse or pro-
fane language are strictly forbidden.
No firearms of any kind are allowed in the buildings.
Any student, who for disciplinary reasons, is requested to
leave the city before a certain time, shall be considered as having
expelled himself if he delays his departure beyond the time
designated.
The Sabbath must be fittingly observed. Attendance upon
church services is required of all.
54
r
All students are expected to provide themselves with a hymnal
for use in the chapel service.

mission from the President.
Our rooms are thoroughly furnished. We supply bed, bed-

lowing: 4 table napkins, 2 laundry bags, 1 pair slippers, shoe
polishing outfit, 1 clothes brush, 1 bath robe, 6 face towels, 4
bath towels. We supply two double blankets. If students wish
more they must bring them. Every article of clothing that goes
to the laundry should be plainly marked with the student's full
name with the best indelible ink that can be purchased.
Meeting or engaging in conversation by boys and girls is for-
bidden except at such times and places as may be arranged for by
the Faculty.
Teachers and students remaining at the Seminary during the
short vacations will be charged $1.50 for each day or part of a
day.
Guests may be entertained only when the permission of the
President has first been obtained and their hosts pay the regular
rates for their entertainment. Parents or guardians visiting pupils
are for the first twenty-four hours the guests of the Seminary.
No visitors are allowed in the halls or in the students* rooms
without permission.

lations. In addition to the above some of the things expected

gunning, or riding without permission from the President.
To obtain the permission of the Faculty before dropping any

tendance upon recitations.
To attend the morning chapel services.
To procure from parent or guardian a written excuse for
