^ LEL^jXD HNIYER^ITY.

This Institution was originated and is carried on for the purpose

of promoting Christian education among the people of Louisiana

and a(ijacent States.. It aims to prepare ministers for the work

of preaching the Gospel, to fit teachers for their important field

of usefulness, and to qualify men for business, thus seeking to

advance religion, sound morality, intelligence, and prosperit}'
V . „i

among- classes

„ yccorcing to the provisions of its charter, no person is ever to
Cy^ excluded from its privileges on account of race, color or
"Previous condition.

The Cniversity owes its existence to the wise forethought and
broad generosity of the late Holbrook Chamberlain and his
estimable wife. It was incorporated in 1870, and the first steps
in erecting the building were taken the same year. The school
was opened in 1874; has been in successful operation for ten
years. The success thus far attained, the patronage enjoN'ed, and
the liberal encouragement of its friends, at home and abroad,
warrant the Faculty and Board of Managers in aiming at grander
results, and in sparing no pains to make the training at Leland
University second to that of no similar institution.

LOCATION AND BUILDINGS.

The University is located on St. Charles Avenue, corner of
Chestnut Street, and oi)posite the exposition park. No more
beautiful or healthful location could be found in New Orleans,
while its retirement from the crowded part of the city renders it
peculiarly suited to study. Tlie main building is of brick, one
hundred by eighty feet, three stories above the basement.

Here are the chapel, recitation rooms, library, oflftces, and
rooms for the president, professors and male students, besides
accommodations in the basement for boarding, industrial shops,
etc. The Girls' dormitory will be ready for occupanc}' October
1st. It is also of brick, three stories, one hundred by fifty feet.
Here are the rooms of the lady teachers, the preceptress, and
the young lady puj)ils ; also music rooms, boarding, laundry,
and industrial rooms for the girls. The grounds comprise four
entire squares, or ten acres, furnishing ample op})ortunity for
horticultural training under the supervision of the College
farmer.

be abtient from their duties during the entire school session,

,not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth," — a con"
demed course has been arranged for their especial benefit, con-
tinuing two months, from November Ist to December 24th. Beside
the regular instruction from the professors of this department,
a course of lectures by distinguished Divines will be given.

Students desiring to pay n part of their expenses by aditional
labor on the College farm or in the shops, will have opportunity
to do go.

It is hoped that the hearty spirit of cooperation already man-
ifested in the prosecution of this Department, will prompt phi-
lanthropic friends to furnish the shops and supply a generous
beneficiary fund to help those students who thus prove their wil-
lingness to help themselves.

Reviews, constant and thorough, and strict examinations at
the close of each term, oral or written, at the discretion of the
Faculty, to test the diligence and ability of the pupil. Students,
to retain their class standing, must pass satisfactory examina-
tions. ^

The daily sessions of the school are opened with prayer and
singing, and study of the Bible, in which all the scholars par-
ticipate.

Meetings for Bible study are held every evening. Prayer meet-
ing of the Young Men's Christian Association on Friday evening.
There is a Sunday School held in the Chapel every Sunday p. m. ;
also a Preaching Service at 7 p.m. Students are also permitted
to attend the Churches in the vicinity of the University, for the
purpose of performing Christian labor in connection therewith.
This is done under the direction of the Faculty, and is the means
of good, both to the students and to the Churches, Aimless
wandoring about on Sunday is not permitted.

The Faculty, with their families and the Christian students,
compose a regularly organized Bapti^^t Church, holding meetings,
observing the ordinances, and maintaining discipline as a Church
of Christ. The President is acting Pastor. Beside the spiritual
berjcfits resulting from this organization, tlie members derive
instruction in church methods and work. Students are requested
to bring church letters with them and unite with the College
Church during their course.

The library is not large, thou.^h a good beginning has been
made in gathering one. Donations of books are solicited.
Benevolent friends will confer ji lasting benefit on the school by
placing money in the hands of the teachers, to expend on books
for the library. In the reading room may be found a number of
papers furnished us by well-wishers of the school. An increase
of such matter would be gratefuljy welcomed.

The Leland Lyceum, for elocutionary and literary practice,
meets every Friday.

The Young Men's Christian Association holds regular weekly
meetings, for prayer and the encouragement of Christian
endeavor.

The Temple of Honor holds regular meetings in the interests
of temperance.

The Alumni Association holds its annual meeting Commence-
ment Week.

SaTerrLULsnt.

It is the constant aim of the officers of the school to induce
those under thpir charge to govern themselves in accordance with
the principles of advanced civilization and religion. Those who
will not yield to wholesome restraint are not allowed to remain
in the school. There are regular hours for study, during which
students are required to be in their rooms. All students from
abroad are required to room in the University Building, (except
by permission of the President) where they will be under the
immediate care of the Faculty. The President desires to call the
special attention of patrons and guardians to this requirement,
as experience proves that the progress of the student is thereby
greatly facilitated. The young ladies are under the special care
of an experienced and judicious preceptress. Parents may rest
assured that every effort will be put forth to seoure their
daughters in the greatest safety, both by kind and faithful in.
struction, and b^ vigilant watchfulness against evil.

By the wise and kindly forethought of the Woman's Baptist
Home Mission Society, a discreet Christian woman is stationed
at the University, to have the culture and oversight of the pupils

in Mission Labors.

AdmissiDn.

Students of good moral character are received at anytitne, and
upon examination will be assigned to their appropriate classes;
hnt the iinportrnicf of promjii attendance at the beginning of terms
cannot he too ntrongJy vrged. Without prompt attendance the
classes cannot bo properly formed, and much time is lost.
Those who fail to take their places in their classes at the begin-
ning of the year, fall behind, and drop into lower classes, to their
own damage and dissatisfaction, and to the inconvenience of
students and instructors.

Courses of study cannot be successfull}' prosecuted and com-
pleted except by those wlio hold their places in their classes
from year to year. --^

Candidates for admission coming from other institutions must
present certificates of honorable dismission. Ministers and Li-
centiates are not required to pass examination for Theological
Department, but must bring testimonials.

.Students may, at any time, after one month, receive honorable
dismission, provided that their bills are paid, and there is no
reason connected with the government of the University for re-
fusing it. Those leaving during the session without satisfactory
reason will be regarded as suspended.

Young men and young women whose abilities and character
give promise of special usefulness, and whose circumstances
render it necessary, will be furnished with help in so far as
resources shall justify, to enable them to remain in school. In

CAUTION.

Those coming to the Institution are advised to have nothing
to do with hackmen or express drivers, as they will charge exor-
bitant prices for services. If your baggage is too heavy to bring
yourself, leave it on the boat or at the baggage room, then inquire
of a policeman the way to Baronne Street, and there take a green
car for Carrollton, which, for ten cents, will leave you at the gate
of the school. The cars will bring a small trunk for a slight
additional sum. Advice will be given at the school about getting
heavy baggage up.
