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

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.

ELOCUTION. 

PROF.     GOODHUE. 

Elocution  is  taught  both  as  a  science  and  an  art.     As  high 
a  degree  of  attainment  is  required  as   in  other  departments 
It   embraces   Theophony,    or  proper  vocal   expression,    and 


HOWARD    COLLEGE.  I  5 


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.

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.

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.

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.

In  addition  to  these  subjects,  each  student  in  the  College 
classes  recites  once  a  week  in  the  Bible  throughout  the  ses- 
sion. For  course  of  study  and  requirements  see  department 
of  "Biblical  Literature." 


EXPLANATIONS    AND    REQUIREMENTS    REGARDING 
COURSES    AND    DEGREES. 

1.  Physiology  and  Hygiene,  having  heretofore  been 
taught  in  the  Senior  year,  is  allowed  to  remain  for  the  present 
in  the  work  for  the  fourth  year  of  the  two  A.  B.  courses. 

2.  For  the  divisions  of  the  subjects  taught  in  any  year

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. 


HOWARD    COLLEGE.  3  I 


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. 

COLLEGE    HONORS. 

MEDALS. 

The  College  offers  the  following  medals :

DEGREES. 

The  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  Bachelor  of  Science, 
Bachelor  of  Civil  Engineering,  Bachelor  of  Literature, 
and  Bachelor  of  Pedagogy,  are  conferred  upon  students 
who  complete  the  courses  prescribed  for  these  degrees.  For 
the  specific  requirements,  see  "Courses  of  Study,"  page  21 
and  following. 

REGULATIONS. 

1.  No  one  is  allowed  to  contest  for  a  medal  with  a  speech 
he  has  before  spoken  in  public  at  the  College. 

2.  No  student  is  admitted  to  a  degree,  or  permitted  to 
take  part  in  the  Commencement  exercises,  unless  he  has 
creditably  sustained  all  his  examinations,  performed  such 
other  exercises  as  may  have  been  assigned  him,  and  settled 
all  College  dues. 


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 

JUNIOR   CLASS.

Geo.  W.  Hopson,  Jr Vice-President 

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

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.
