HOWARD COLLEGE. ' 25

PLAN OF INSTRUCTION.

Professors and teuchers 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 constantl}" stimulated to obtain and
]^reserve good positions.

The progress of each class and the relative merit of the
members are recorded. At the end of each week 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 b}^ the
Board of Trustees. A cop}- of the laws is kept in each stu-
dent's room.

These laws inculcate manl}" virtue, preserve order, rec{uire
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 ex-
ercised to encourage the young men in the discharge of their
duties, and the co-operation of })arents is solicited.

REPORTS TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.

Daily reports of conduct and weekly reports of studies are
made to the President. From these, semi-quarterly reports
are made to parents and guardians. The reports to parents
show the absolute and relative standings in each class and
other facts that may be thought of interest.

26 HOWARD COLLEGE.

RELIGIOUS CULTURE.

Prayers are hold everj- morning in the Chapel, and the
Faculty and .students attend.

Students are required to attend the churches of their
choice every Sabbath morning; and they do, of their own
accord, generally, attend Sabbath -school in the morning and
church at night.

MORAL TRAINING.

By attaching more than usual attention to moral and
social culture, this College has received a large patronage.
No feature of the Institution is more highly appreciated b}'
parents and b}' the public. And justly so; for what is the
worth of intellectual power, if the habits and sentiments are
corrupt? To prevent such harm it is the policy of this Col-
lege to give the morals of its students more than usual at-
tention. As a means of protection against evil influences it
is a regulation (191) of the College, that, Avhenever it shall
have become apparent from any cause that it is to the inter-
est of any student or of the College that he shall withdraw
from the Institution, his resignation may be demanded by
the President.

SOCIETIES.

There are in connection with the College, and in success-
ful operation, two literary societies — the Philomathic and
the Franklin. These societies, provided with well-selected
libraries, are regarded as valuable aids to the student in the
formation of a literary taste, and in affording opportunities
f()r exercise in debate, and in obtaining a knowledge of par-
liamentary rules.

All students in the College classes are required to join and
attend one of the societies, or recite on Saturdays to one of
the professors.

Secret Societies are not allowed.

HOWARD COLLEGE.

At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of How-
ard College of 1881, the following preamble and order were
passed :

Whereas, The influence of secret college societies has
proved, in the general experience of educational institutions,
unfavorable to discipline and scholarship, and therefore to
the welfare of colleges and to the best interests of students,
it is hereb}^ ordered by the Board of Trustees of Howard
College,

That no student of this Institution, who may, after the 1st
of September, 1881, become a member of such secret society
or fraternit}', shall be eligible to the offices or honors of
Howard College.

LOCATION.

Howard College is located at East Lake, six miles from
Birmingham; with which city East Lake is connected b}' a
dummy line. The situation supplies every condition essen-
tial to health. The undulating surface of the countr}' af-
fords ample natural drainage; springs of pure, cool water
are frequent, and wells are obtained everywhere with little
difficulty. The temperature in warm weather is modei-ated
by constant mountain breezes. In short, the location is all
that could be desired in regard to health or moral influence.
Services are held regularly every Sabbath in the Baptist
and Methodist churches, within a few hundred yards of the
College ; and spirits cannot be legally sold within three miles.

-'"^ HOWARD COLLKOK.

It is the purpose of the East Lake Land Company that
Ea«t Lake shall ho tlie siihurh of Biriuingliam, set apart for
churches and schools and homes. In carrying out their
plan, the}- discountenance all persons and practices tiiat do
not commend tiuinselves to the moral and religious elements
of society.

BUILDINGS.

We have secured a drawing for a pile of huildings cover-
ing 400 feet front, and including a main building, dormitory,
dining hall and science building; and the general plan for
the pile of buildings has been adopted by the Board of
Trustees. The drawings and plans for the main building
have been s})eciall3^ adopted, with L. B. AVheeler, of New
York, and John Sutcliffe, of Birmingham, Ala., as architects.
The contract for the foundation of the main building has
been awarded to Allen & Taylor, of Birmingham, and work
has comnu'iiced.

The main building is to be a handsome structure, UJOxTl,
and three stories high, and estimated to cost $50,000. The
l)ile ol buildings is estimated to cost about $125,000.

Tlie buildings completed last October are estimated to
have cost $8,000. ^Phese include seven recitation rooms,
over thirty sleeping rooms, a dining hall, kitchen, and other
apartments essential to the boarding department.

LIBRAEIES.

Each ot the two literary societies has a good library, ami
the College has one.

Contributions to these libraries are solicited.
CABINETS.

The Geological and Mineralogical Cabinets contain a large
variety of specimens. A handsome series of Maps and
Cliarts and Engravings illustrate Lectures on Geology.

the dormitories iiiglit smd da}'. Parents, committing their
sons fully to the care of the College officers, may be assured
that physical comforts, moral influences, and intellectual
training will be ])rovided.

To avoid distracting influences, to command full atten-
tion, and lo facilitate stud}', young men are i-equired to
board and lodge in the College, unless their relatives live in
town, or unless the Board of Trustees, for special reasons,
allow otherwise.

MINISTERIAL STUDENTS.

Studeiits who come with licenses from their churches do
not pay any tuition fee.

CADET CORPS.

For the purpose of physical education — erect, graceful and
manl}' carriage of body, a vigorous and healthy constitu-
tion ; for cultivating politeness, moral courage, i-cspect for
self, deference to others, frankness, perseverance, industry,
and self-reliance ; and for giving to the mind the power of
close and continued attention — the students are expected to
join the Cadet Corps, which is drilled not more than one
hour a day, and at such a time as not to interfere with
studies. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees the follow-
ing I'esolutions were passed :

1. That all secular students will be required to join the
Cadet Corps, excepting such as may be excused b}' the Pres-
ident for special reasons.

2. That while it shall be optional witii ministerial stu-
dents as to their joining the Corps, yet the Board of Trus-
tees recommend and re(]uest that they shall do so.

In the appointment of officers, scholarshij) and class-mem-
bership are the prevailing considerations, other things being
equal. But for special military excellence, rank may be
held in abevance.

HOWARD COLLEGE. 31

UNIFOEM.

Students should bring from home a good supjjly of under-
clothing, but only one suit of outer wear.

The uniform suit consists of coatee, pants, fatigue cap,
and dress cap. The cost of these is $23,60, of good and du-
rable cloth. The usual cloth can be had for less than this,
but w^e think no lower grade should be bought. For $27.40
a uniform made of the best cloth that is to be found in the
United States can be had. Fatigue coats are not required.

VACATION.

There is no vacation during the session. Classes push
rajiidly ahead every day ; and a student cannot leave at any
time without loss. One day is given at Christmas, but no
student is allowed to go home at this time. If parents insist on
seeing their sons at home during the session, notwithstand-
ing the loss, they are requested to arrange for a visit b}^ cor-
respondence with the President. Such time will be given
as not to disorganize classes and damage other students, and
such time as will work as little detriment as possible to the
individual. But no furlough will be allowed within two
weeks before nor one week after Christmas, and none to in-
clude Christmas.

COMMENCEMENT AND DEGEEES.

1. The Annual Commencement is held on the Second
Wednesday in June.

2. No student is admitted to a Degree or permitted to
take any 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, including a graduating fee of five dollars.
