Entrance Requirements
The authorities of Millsaps College prefer that appli-
cants for admission into the College should submit them-
selves to the regular test of an entrance examination. Butin
case the Principals of Preparatory schools desire to have
their pupils admitted on trial without examination, arrange-
ments looking to that end may be made as a result of cor-
respondence with the College authorities.
Special attention is called to the following statement
of requirements for admission into the several depart-
ments:
I. Latin and Greek — Applicants for admission into
the Freshman Class are examined on the work of the
Preparatorv Department. This, as may be seen, com-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 15
prises, in Latin, the reading- of four books of Caesar's
Gallic War, or an equivalent; in Greek, the satisfactory
completion of the First Greek Book; and in both lang-uag-es
a careful study of the forms and of the leading principles
of the syntax. Applicants are expected also to have some
facility in translating simple Latin and Greek at sight and
in writing easy English sentences in Latin and Greek
prose.
To be more specific, a course of study is outlined
below for the guidance of the teachers of Preparatory
Latin and Greek throughout the State:
FIRST YEAR.
Latin — The First Latin Book (Collar and Daniell); Grad-
atim (Collar); Grammar (Allen and Greenough.)
SECOND YEAR.
LATiN^First Latin Readings (Arrowsmith and Whicher);
Caesar, Gallic War (Kelsey, 8th edition); New Latin
Composition (Daniell); History (Creighton's Primer).
Greek — The First Greek Book (White); Anabasis (Good-
win and White);Grammar (Goodwin); History (Fyffe's
Primer).
To do satisfactorily the work here indicated, it will
require five recitations a week of one hour each for two
years in Latin; for one year in Greek.
It is thought advisable to set before the students con-
tinuous passages for translation as soon as practicable,
and for this purpose selections from Collar's Gradatim
and something of the Anabasis may be read toward the
end of the first year.
It is recommended also, as a prerequisite to the best
results, that throughout the first year, in both Latin and
Greek, written exercises be made an essential part of each
day's work. During the second year of the Latin course
two exercises a week will be sufficient.
16 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Certainly as much history as is indicated above may
be asked of the preparatory schools, but it is hoped that
they will make a place also for works of a more discursive
character, in which the stories of Greece and Rome will
find more attractive, not to say romantic treatment.
IL Mathematics — For admission to the Freshman
Class in Mathematics, a thorough knowledge of Arithme-
tic, of Algebra to quadratic equations, and of two Books of
Geometry is required. The only suggestion here offered
to teachers of these subjects is that there be joined to
systematic and thorough teaching a judicious system of
examinations. Such examinations help to better metbods
of study, and tend to remove unreasonable dread of
entrance examinations. The student making the best
average grade in Freshman Mathematics during the ses-
sion of 1902-1903 was prepared for College in the Prepara-
tory Department of Millsaps College.
III. English — The candidate for admission into the
Freshman Class will be examined on the equivalent of the
work done during the second year of the Preparatory De-
partment. He is expected to be thoroughly familiar with
gramatical forms and he must be acquainted with the ele-
mentary facts of practical rhetoric. He will be required
to write a short composition — correct in spelling, punctua-
tion, and grammar — on a subject chosen from the books
assigned for reading.
It is desirable that the preparatory schools make use
of the list of books for reading and study, looking toward
the uniform entrance requirements in English adopted
by the principal American colleges. No student need
apply for admission into the Freshman Class who is not
prepared to stand an examination on the works prescribed
"for careful study" or on specific equivalents for these
works. We shall expect preparation on the works given
below.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 17
FOR READING.
1903— George Eliot's Silas Marner; Pope's Translation of
the Iliad (Books I, VI, XXII, and XXIV); The Sir
Roger de Coverley Papers in the Spectator; Gold-
smith's Vicar of Wakefield; Scott s Ivanhoe; Shakes-
peare's Merchant of Venice; Cooper's Last of the
Mohicans; Tennyson's Princess; Coleridge's Rime of
the Ancient Mariner.
1903 and 1904 — Same requirements as in 1902.
FOR CAREFUL STUDY.
1903— Shakespeare's Macbeth; Milton's L'Allegro, II Pen-
seroso, Comus and Lycidas; Burke's Speech on Con-
ciliation with America; Macaulay's Essays on Addison
and Milton.
1903 and 1904 — Same requirements as in 1902.
The Bachelor's Degree
The reader of the arrangement of courses will notice
that three undergraduate degrees are offered by the Lit-
erary Department of the College— B. A., B. S., Ph. B. It
will also be seen from the following schedule that the prep-
aration required for the different courses is not the same.
B. A. Degree — The Bachelor of Arts course offers special
instruction in the departments of Latin and Greek,
with an option on a Modern Language. This course
presupposes one year of preparatory work in Greek
two in Latin. In order to be allowed to enter upon the
B. A. course, the applicant must stand an approved
examination in English, Latin, Greek and Mathematics.
B. S. Degree — The Bachelor of Science course offers
special work in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
Instead of Greek and partly of Latin, French and
German are studied. In order to be allowed to enter
18 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
upon the B. S. course, the applicant must stand an
approved examination in Eng-lish, Mathematics, and
Latin.
Ph. B. Degree — The Bachelor of Philosophy course offers
great freedom of election. In order to be allowed to
enter upon Ph. B. course, the applicant must stand an
approved examination in English and Mathematics.
LL. B. Degree— No entrance examination is exacted of
Law students who apply for the Junior Class. They
are expected to have a good elementary English edu-
cation. Applicants for the Senior class are examined
in the Junior course.
The Master's Degree.
Each school of collegiate instruction offers work look-
ing toward the Master's Degree. Applicants for the M.
A. or M. S. degree will be required to elect three courses
of study, not more than two of which may be in the same
school or under the same professor. The principal sub-
ject chosen — known as the major course — will be expected
to employ one-half the applicant's time; each of the minor
courses, one-quarter of his time. It is expected that the
applicant for a master's degree, after receiving a bach-
elor's degree, spend at least one year at Millsaps College
•engaged in graduate study. In most cases non-resident
study during two or more years will be accepted as the
equivalent of one year's resident work. All examinations
must be stood in Jackson. Attention is directed to the
schedule of degrees following, and to the statement in
connection with the account of work done in each depart-
ment. The courses so announced are major courses; a
minor course is expected to require for its completion half
the time required for the completion of a major course.
M. A. Degree — To take the Master of Arts Degree the
student must choose for his major course Latin, Greek,
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 19
Philosophy, or English. His minor courses must be
in schools in which he has already finished the full
course for the bachelor's degree.
M. S. Degree — To take the Master of Science Degree, the
student must choose his major and one minor course
from the Schools of Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
Geology, Mathematics, or Astronomy. His second
minor must be in a school in which he has already
finished the full course for the bachelor's desrree.

PROFESSOR SWEARINGEN.
In the outline of departmental courses the text and
editions used in this department are enumerated. For
the g-uidance of students and dealers the titles are there
g-iven in full, but it is not to be understood that in every
case the entire ground indicated will be covered in class.
The work of the Freshman Class is limited in extent
and is meant to be correspondingly thorough. The end
in view is to furnish the student with an accurate founda-
tion for classical scholarship. The entire session is there-
fore devoted to the studv of Cicero and Xenophon. The
forms are carefully reviewed, the systematic study of the
syntax is begun, and the importance of acquiring a voca-
bulary is at all times emphasized. Throughout the year
daily practice in inflecting and construing is kept up, and
the principles of syntax met with in the texts are practi-
cally applied to the writing of weekly exercises in prose
composition.
22 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The main object of the course outlined for the Sopho-
more Class is to read the texts selected with some appre-
ciation of their value as works of art. To this end the
class is first put in possession of the literary and histori-
cal setting of each selection by a required course of paral-
lel reading-, supplemented by informal lectures. The
attempt is then made to teach the student to understand,
without translating, the less involved passages of the
authors read, and to use in translating a pure English
idiom. This ability to grasp the thought in the order of
the original is the necessary condition of an adequate
appreciation of the classics as literature. Reading at
sight, therefore, forms a not unimportant part of the work
of the class room, while portions of the texts are, from
time to time, required to be turned, in writing, into the
best English which the class can command.
The Junior Class is assumed to have reached a some-
what advanced stage in the study of the classics. Matters
of grammatical detail are therefore subordinated, in the
work of this year, to studies of an historical and literary
kind. Homer and Vergil have been purposely deferred
until this time when the class shall presumably, at least,
have attained such facility in translating that the readings
may be rapid and extensive and the interpretation intelli-
gent and appreciative. Incidentally a study, in outline,
will be made of the Homeric Question, of the Iliad and
^Eneid as types of the epic, and of the history in general
of this form of poetry.
The Satires of Horace are made the basis of a running
commentary on the customs and institutions of the time.
His Epistles challenge a critical and historical examina-
tion of his views on literature, and invite consideration of
his philosophic reflections as the expression of the maturer
thoughts and higher aspirations of an enlightened pagan.
In the study of the Attic tragedy and comedy the
history of the Greek drama and of dramatic contests at
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 23
Athens is taken up, and the results of recent excavations
on the sites of ancient theatres are laid under contribution
to suppl}' the setting and technical information necessary
to a clear conception of a Greek play on the stage, and so
to an intelligent estimate of its dramatic as well as of its
literary worth.
Courses Leading to the Master's Degree.
Two courses are offered leading to the degree of Mas-
ter of Arts. The one is a literary course, designed to
continue the work of the Junior year, and has to do chiefly
with the origin and development of the Greek Drama and
of the Roman Satire as forms of literature. The other is
more technical in character, and deals almost exclusively
with the subject of Epigraphy. In both courses a mini-
mum of history and philology is required.
The scope of each cour.se is indicated by the schedule
which follows of the texts to be read and of the works of
reference to be used in connection therewith:
I. In Either Course: Remnants of Early Latin (Allen);
Grammaire Comparee du Grec et du Latin (Henry,
fifth edition, or the translation of the second edition);
History of Greece (Bury); History of Rome (Shuck-
burgh).
II. In the Course in Literature: A. Latin: Roman
Satire (Lucilius, Horace, Persius and Juvenal); The
Roman Satura (Nettleship); Roman Literature (Crutt-
well); Latin Poetry (Tyrrell). B. Greek: Aeschylus,
the Orestcia; Sophocles, the Oedipus Plays; Euripides,
the Alcestis,the Hippolytus, the Medea; Aristophanes,
the Frogs; Das Griechische Theater (Doerpfeld und
Reisch); Greek Literature (Jevons); Greek Poetry
(Jebb).
III. In the Course in Epigraphy: A. Latin: An Intro-
duction to the study of Latin Inscriptions (Egbert);
Cours d'EpigraphieLatine (Cagnat); Historical Latin
24 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Inscriptions (Rushfortta); Exempla Inscriptionum
Latinarum (Wilmanns). B. Greek: An Introduction
to Greek Epigraphy (Robertson); Grammatik der
Attischen Inschriften (Meisterhans); Greek Historical
Inscriptions (Hicks);The Dialects of Greece; (Smith);
Delectus Inscriptionum Graecarum (Cauer).
Of the works here enumerated several are required
only in part. The candidate is expected, for example, lo
have a g-eneral acquaintance with Doerpf eld's new theor}?-
of the Greek theater and of the evidence which led to his
conclusions, but not necessarily to make a minute study
of the book. The collections of the inscriptions, too, by
Willmanns, Hicks and Cauer, are not to be read entire, but
consulted from time to time for further illustration of
matters inadequately presented in the introductions of
Eg-bert and Robertson.
The courses outlined above, in which Latin and Greek
are offered conjointly, are major courses, but they can be
so recombined or modified as to form either a major or
minor course in either subject.
III.TheSchool of Mathematics and Astronomy
PROFESSOR MOORE.
The subjects taug-ht in this school are subdivided as
follows: /. Pure Mathematics. II. Applied AlatJicmatics.
In pure Mathematics the following' subjects are taug-ht:
Alg-ebra, Geometry, Tng-onometry, Analytic Geometry,
Diiferential and Integ-ral Calculus, and Determinants and
Theory of Equations; and in Applied Mathematics the fol-
lowing-: Land Surveying-, Mechanics, and Astronomy.
The g-eneral aim is to have the work of this depart-
ment broug-ht within snch limits, and made so systematic
and thorong-h as to secure to the student a full mastery of
leading- principles and methods, for it is believed that only
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 25
in this way can the best results be obtained. The text-
book will form the basis of instruction to be supplemented
by frequent explanations, criticisms, and discussions of
the progress of inquiry on leading and crucial points of
the science.
I. Pure Mathematics. — Algebra and Geometry are
the studies of the Freshman year. In Algebra the aim
will be to secure to the student skill and accuracy in alge-
braic work and an increased power of abstract analysis
and reasoning. The value of Geometry, in promoting,
when properly studied and taught, definiteness of con-
ception, precision and directness of statement and correct-
ness of deduction is well kaown. The student will be
aided in forming correct geometrical conceptions and in
gaining an insight into the true spirit and methods of geo-
metrical reasoning. Throughout the course original exer-
cises will be required.
The required studies of the Sophomore year arePlane
and Spherical Trigonometry and Plane Analytic Geome-
try. The course in Trigonometry goes beyond the mere
solution of triangles and includes, as far asthe time allotted
to the subject will admit, a study of Trigonometry as
a branch of mathematical analysis. The course given in
Plane Analytic Geometry, being the last course in Pure
Mathematics required for all degrees, is made correspond-
ingly prominent and thorough.
junior Course (^A) — Embraces the Differential and
Integral Calculus. The logical rigor of the Calculus, as
well as the ef&ciency, brevity and comprehensiveness of
its methods are carefully investigated. This course is
required for the B. S. degree.
Junior Course {B) — Includes, (1) Solid Analytic Geom-
etry. (2) Determinants and the Theory of Equations.
26 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
11. Applied Mathematics — The course in Astronomy,
Senior Mathematics (A), includes two recitations per
week for the year and frequent use of the six inch Equa-
torical Telescope of the James Observatory. In general,
it can be more profitably taken in the Senior year. The
course in Mechanics, Senior Mathematics (B), requires
two recitations per week during- the year, and is most
advantageously taken in the Senior year. The class in
Surveying- will recite once a week during- the second term
and have one two-hour field practice period per week dur-
ing the third term. The instruments used on the field
are the chain, the compass, and the transit. This course
belongs, properly, in the Sophomore year, but may be
taken later.
The list of text-books, subject to change, is announced
elsewhere.
Courses Leading ie the Mastej-'' s Degree.
Those desiring work in this department leading to
the M. A. or M. S. degree are requested to give notice of
this fact by August 1st, of the year in which the course is
to be entered upon, and, promptly upon such notice, a
suitable course will be outlined.
IV. The School of English
PROFESSOR BISHOP
The work of the Freshman year will be pursued with
two purposes in view. It will be an aim, first, through
compositions and exercises, through criticisms and lec-
tures, through a study of the principles and forms of good
composition, to give the student a writing command of
English, to equip him for writing good prose with proper
regard for unity, proportion, and coherence in paragraphs
and in the whole composition. In the second place, selec-
tions from English poetry will be studied in class four
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
times a week with the purpose mainly of developing' liter-
ary appreciation in the student; so, these poems will be
studied in their absolute literary character rather than
with reference to the authors or to their relation to litera-
ture in g-eneral. Parallel reading- will be assigned.
In the first term of the Sophomore year the time will
be given to the study of English literature. In addition to
studying the development of the literature, the class will
study masterpieces in recitation. Parallel work will be
assigned. In the second term the class will study selec-
tions from Tennyson and from Browning in recitation and
as parallel work. The work of the third term will be an
application of the plans and methods used in the first term
to the study of American literature. Throughout the
whole year there will be work in prose composition, and
some purely creative work will be required in story
writing-.
In the first term of the Junior year, Anglo-Saxon will
be studied with the primary purpose of giving the student
an introductory study in the history of the Eng-lish lan-
guage. Supplementary to this work and continuing
throughout the year, Lounsbury's "History of the English
Language" will be studied. In the second and third terms
Shakespeare will be studied in class and as parallel.
The work of the Senior year will be given to the study
of Browning, Matthew Arnold, and Clough. This course
will be pursued with special reference to two ever recur-
rent and alternating phases of literary thought: the one,
characterized by faith and optimism, the other as distinct!}'-
characterized by doubt and melancholy. In the study of
Browning extensive and frequent use will be made of the
poetry of Tennyson and of Wordsworth; in the study of
Arnold and Clough, a like use will be made of Byron and
Keats.
Courses Leading to the Master^ s Degree.
Students who apply for graduate work in English may
elect for a philological course a study of Old English
28 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
poetry, taking some assigned subject in philology tor
special investigation; they may elect as courses in litera-
ture a study of the development of the English novel, a
study of recent literary movements in the South, or a
study of some aspect of Victorian literature.
V. The School of History
PROFESSOR YOUNG
In the outline of courses leading to degrees, the text-
books used in the work in History are enumerated. The
College Library is well equipped with historical works
and books of reference, and extensive reading therein,
with reports on assigned topics, will be required of the
student.
The College authorities have recently added the Mac-
Coun historical charts to the equipment of the Department
of History, and these will serve to illuminate the impres-
sions of the changes from era to era, already gained by
the student from his reading.
For the present, the courses in History will be chiefly
concerned with American historical topics. During the
coming year, however, a course in General History may
be substituted for the course in General American His-
tory. In the Senior year the institutions and Constitution
of the United States will be taken up, an edition of Bryce's
American Commonwealth, or Ashley's American Federal
State, being used as text, with special studies in the vari-
ous lines of development of our country. A short course
in the elements of sociology was given to the class of a
preceding year, and may possibly be repeated. In both
these courses the student will be required to rely upon
himself as much as possible, and will be encouraged to
develop his historical judgment and his ability to correlate
facts and events.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 29
VI. The School of Modern Languages
PROFESSOR YOUNG
A course extending- over three years is offered in both
French and German, the third year in each being- given in
case sufficient students make application for the work.
The first \ ear's work in each language comprises:
1, careful drill in pronunciation; 2, the rudiments of gram-
mar, including the inflection of the regular and the more
common irregular verbs, the plural of nouns, the inflection
of adjectives, participles and pronouns; the use of personal
pronouns, common adverbs, prepositions and conjunc-
tions; order of words in the sentence, and elementary
rules of syntax; 3, abundant easy exercises, designed not
only to flx in memory the forms and principles of gram-
mar, but also to cultivate readiness in reproducing natural
forms of expression; 4, the reading of 100 to 175 duodec-
imo pag-es of graduated texts, with constant practice in
translating into the language easy variations of the sen-
tences read (the teacher giving the English), and in re-
producing from memory sentences previously read; 5,
writing the languag-e from dictation.
The second year's work comprises: 1, the reading of
250 to 400 pages of easy modern prose in the form of
stories, plays, or historical or biographical sketches; 2,
constant practice, as in the previous year, in translating-
easy variations upon the texts read; 3, frequent abstracts,
sometimes oral and sometimes written, of portions of the
text already read; 4, writing the language from dictation;
5, continued drill upon the rudiments of grammar, with
constant application in the construction of sentences; 6,
mastery of the forms and use of pronouns, pronominal
adjectives, of all but the rare irregular verb forms, and
of the simpler uses of the conditional and subjunctive.
The advanced work in both French and German will
be arranged by the instructor after the classes are organ-
30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
ized. An outline of courses already offered appears in the
"Outline of Departmental Courses," but the texts used
may be changed by the instructor.
VII. The School of Chemistry and Physics
PROFESSOR SULLIVAN
The rooms given up to the study of these subjects
are m<^dern both in size and convenience, and occupy the
whole lower floor of Webster Science Hall. The recita-
tion room and physical laboratory open into a dark room
for photography and optical experiments, and into a room
specially isolated and designed to retain delicate physical
apparatus. It is connected by forty feet of folding doors
with the chemical laboratory, by which arrangement a
large auditorium forty by sixty feet is obtainable for pub-
lic scientific entertainments. The chemical laboratory
opens conveniently into a small fuming room outside of
the building so that vapors may not pass from one to the
other, and is also connected with the storeroom. Gas,
water, experiment tables, hoods and pneumatic troughs
are to be found in convenient places. There is a cellar for
gas and electric generators, and for assay and other
furnaces.
The course in this department consists of three years
of chemistry and two of physics. One year of each study
is required of candidates for the A. B. degree, while B. S.
students are required in addition to take a second year of
chemistry. Those in the Ph. B. course are required to
study only one year of physics. The department emplo^^s
an assistant in laboratory work. Each student will be
expected to keep accurate notes.
Chemistry — This subject is taught by recitations and
lectures and work which each student must perform in the
laboratory. It is aimed that the laboratory be kept well equips
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 31
ped with apparatus necessary to the correct appreciation of
the science. Each student has his own desk and apparatus
and is closely supervised, so that he may not only gain a true
idea of the substances under inspection; but also cultivate
a hand careful to the smallest detail, an eye observant of
the slightest phenomenon, and habits of neatness, skill and
economy.
I. The Sophomore course consistsper week of three rec-
itationsand one period in the laboratory experimenting with
substances considered in the recitation. Members of the
class will be called upon to assist in experiments per
formed during lecture hours. The work of this year is
wholly introductory, being a necessary prerequisite to
either of the Junior Courses, one of which should be
entered if the student would have a satisfactory apprecia-
tion of chemistry.
II. The Junior (A) course occupies two hours a week
in the recitation room and one period in the laboratory.
Elementary organic chemistry is thoroughly studied. In
addition to the text a course of lectures will be given, and
students will be expected to consult various works of
reference. All facilities are provided for the preparation
of tpyical organic compounds, and for intelligent work in
Qualitative Analysis. The latter is not confined to mere
test tube exercises, but is the subject of regular quizzes.
The third term's recitations are on Physiological Chem-
istry, and the whole course will appeal specially to prelim-
inary medical students.
III. The Junior (B) course is intended to be a con-
tinuation of the work of the Sophomore year. Each year
some phase of advanced chemistrv will be taught — theore-
tical, inorganic, or physical. A study of chemical calcula-
tions will be included. The course extends through two
hours of recitation and one period of laboratory work. It
is designed for those who would know more of chemistry
32 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
than is possible in the Sophomore year and would, at
the same time, prepare themselves for the Senior work.
The laboratory work will be the same as in course (A)
IV. The Seniors spend one period weekly through-
out the year upon the quantitative analysis of drinking
water, fertilizers, soils and ores. A special room is fitted
up for this course. Library copies of Watt's Revised Dic-
tionary, Thorp's Applied Chemistry, and Roscoe and
Schorlemmer's Treatise are on hand for reference. This
course is becoming- better equipped each year. In both
Junior and Senior courses some laboratory work will be
required outside of the regular schedule.
Finally, it should be said that in the chemical labora-
tory, text books will be dispensed with as far as possible.
The student will be taught to feel that the substances and
apparatus around him are his alphabet. The teacher is
constantly on hand to question and suggest, and in other
ways to stimulate thoughtfulness.
Physics I. — Tne Junior year, required of all students
before graduation, consists of two hours' recitation and
one period in the laboratory every week. Ths physical
laboratory will soon be equipped for effective work. All
experiments are carefully performed by the students
themselves. The mental side of laboratory work is stressed
fully as much as the manual. Lectures and quizzes will
be given in connection with the laboratory work.
II. The Senior course is largly a study of special top-
ics in physics. The texts will be varied from year to
year. It is designed that this class especially shall keep
in touch with the scientific progress of the day.
Course Leading to the Master^ s Degree.
In the post-graduate work of this department, 200
hours of laboratory work in the subject chosen are
required.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 33
In Chemistry, courses are offered as follows. The
Analysis of Potable and Mineral Waters; texts, Mason's
Examination of Water and Fresenins 'Quantitative Analysis,
Band, II. (b). A study by analysis of the various Missis-
sippi Mineral products, such as Iron Ores, Gypsum, Marl,
Fire clay and Limestone, (c) An advanced course inaccu-
rate Quantative Analysis, and molecular v^eight deter-
minations; text, Clowes and Coleman, (d) A course in
the preparation and analysis of Organic Substances; text,
Gattermann.
In Physics, the courses offered are measurements in
(a) mechanics, (b) heat, or (c) electricity. The physical
laboratory is being- equipped for work of this order; text,
Ames' and Bliss' Manual of Experiments in Physics.
In addition, a satisfactory examination must be passed
in one of the following" reading courses:
Chemistry— Rem sen's Theoretical Chemistry, Lach-
man's Spirit of Organic Chemistry. Jones' Physical
Chemistry, Thorp's Industrial Chemistry, Halliburton's
Chemical Physiology and Pathology.
Physics — Peddie's Physics, Thompson's Electricity
and Magnetism, Cajori's History of Physics, Glazebrook's
Heat and Light, Stewart's Conservation of Energy.
The courses outlined are for major subjects, and for
minors, each will be reduced one-half.
VIII. The School of Geology and Biology
J. M. SULLIVAlSr.
A. H. SHANNON.
One of the front rooms on the lower floor of Webster
Science Hall is occupied by this department. The Museum
contains about 300 minerals collected from various parts
of the world, 200 specimens of rocks presented by the
United States Geological Survey, a fine cabinet of 300 min-
34 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
erals and rocks presented by the Woman's College of
Baltimore, and a fine collection of Mississippi rocks and
fossils, all thoroughly indexed. The excellence of the
latter is yearly increased by donations from friends of the
college.
Seniors, except those applying for the Ph. B. degree,
are required to study geology. Biology is elective. Each
class recites twice a week. In the case of the latter science
it is aimed to enhance the interest of the subject by micro-
scopic work of a general character.
Several geological expeditions regularly made in the
fall and spring to localities easily accessible from Jackson,
give the class a practical conception of this kind of survey-
ing. The college is fortunate in being located in the
midst of a region that is quite varied in geological char-
acter. Occasionally the Faculty grants a class a week's
1 eave of absence on trips to more distant points. In the
last month of the year, Hilgard's Geology of Mississippi
is used as a text. Annual reports of the Smithsonian
I nstitution and of the U. S. Geological Survey are used
with the class.
Courses Leading to the Master'' s Degree.
Graduate work, as a minor subject is offered in both
geology and biology, but for the present no regular field
or laboratory work will be required. An examination
must be passed upon a course of reading, which, for each
subject is as follows:
Geology — Tarr's Economic Geology of the United
States, William's Elements of Cry sta]lography, LeConte's
Elements of Geology, Hilgard's Geology of Mississippi.
Selected articles in geological reports.
Biology — William's Biological Geology, Wilson's Cell
in Development and Inheritance, Haddon's Study of Man.
Jordan's Bacteriology.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 35
Sociology
PROFESSOR SHANNON.
The work done in Sociology during the year 1902-03,
formed part of the Senior course in History. The first
term was devoted to History, and the second and
third terms to Sociology.
The work of the second term consisted of a careful
study of Elementary Sociology, and original investigation.
Small and Vincent's "Introductiontothestudy of Society"
was used as a text. The aim of the course was to give the
student a method for future study and to make him
familiar with the classification of the elements entering
into the organization of Society.
As the city presents a large number of social prob-
lems in concrete form, the third term was devoted to the
study of those cities which have led the way in dealing
with municipal problems. Shaw's "Municipal Govern-
ment in Great Britian" was used as a text. The organi-
zation and municipal activities of the leading English
cities were carefully studied and compared with those of
American cities.
These courses will be offered (subject to change)
during the year 1903-1904. The work of the third term
will consist of a careful study of the leading modern social
problems; much time will be given to reading and original
investigation. The class work will be supplemented
throughout the year with occasional lectures.

William Belton Murrah, D. D., LL. D., President
of the College.
Edward Mayes, LL. D., Dean and Professor; for
fourteen and a half years Professor of Law in the State
University.
Albert H. Whitfield, LL. D., Professor; Chief Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court; for three and a half years Pro-
fessor of Law in the State University.
William R. Harper, Esq., Professor,
The work of the school will be distributed between
these instructors as follows:
1. — Professor Mayes: The Law of Real Property;
Equity Jurisprudence; Equity Pleading and Practice.
2. — Professor Whitfield: The Law of Evidence; Crim-
inal Law; Criminal Procedure; Law of Corporations;
Constitutional Law; Federal Courts, Jurisdiction and
Practice; Conflict of Laws.
3. — Professor Harper: The Law of Pleading and
Practice; Personal Property; Commercial Law; Contracts;
Torts; Statute Law.
In the original foundation of Millsaps College, it was
designed by its promoters to establish, in due season, and
when the success of the Literary Department should be
assured, a Department of Professional Education, em-
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 37
bodying a Law and a Theological School.
In the year 1896 the time came when, in the judgment
of the trustees, it was possible and proper to establish
the Law Department. Accordingly, they directed that
at the beginning of the next session, the doors of this
institution should be opened for the students of law, and
Professor Edward Mayes was engaged to take the active
control and instruction of that class.
Our law school was not, even then, in any sense, an
experiment. Before that step was determined on, a
respectable class was already secured for the first session.
Dr. Mayes came to us with fourteen years of experience
as a law professor in the State University, and with a rep-
utation for ability and skill as an instrnctor which was
thoroughly established. He had already secured the val-
uable assistance of a numberof most accomplished lawyers
who promised to deliver occasional lectures, thus adding
greatly to the interest and variety of instruction offered.
These gentlemen were, besides others whose aid was
afterward obtained, Judge J. A. P. Campbell, Ex-Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court; Hon. Frank Johnston, Ex-
Attorney-General; Hon. S. S. Calhoun, Ex-Circuit Judge,
and President of the Constitutional Convention; Hon. Thos.
A. Mc Willie, State Reporter.
The total attendance during the first year was twenty-
eight, of whom fifteen were classed as Seniors. At the
expiration of the college year, fifteen students presented
themselves to the Hon. H. C. Conn, Chancellor, presiding
over the Chancery Court, for examination for license to
practice law in conformity with the requirements of the
Annotated Code of 1892. They were subjected to a rigid
written examination in open court, and their written
answers were, as the law directs, forwarded by the Chan-
cellor to the Supreme Judges. Every applicant passed this
ordeal successfully and received his license. Not one failed.
We are now closing the seventh annual session of our Law
38 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
School. We point with pride to the results. We now
have more than sixty g-raduates; and in all the four years
not one candidate presented to the Chancery Court for
license has failed.
The nature of the examination passed, being held by
the Chancellor in his official character, and the examina-
tion answers being graded and valued exclusively by the
Judges of the Supreme Court, puts beyond question or
cavil the genuiness of that result. We do not ask of our
patrons or those who may contemplate becoming our pat-
rons to accept any statement of our own. The finding
and the statement are those of the Judicial Department of
the State; and every law graduate of Millsaps College
stands before the world endorsed, not by the College alone,
which is much, but also by the State itself, speaking
through its Supreme Judges. This is more than can be
said for any other young lawyers in the State. None
other have such a double approval as part of their regular
course.
The location of the school at Jackson enables the
managers to offer to the students extraordinary advan-
tages, in addition to the institution itself. Here is located
the strongest bar in the State, whose management of their
cases in court, and whose arguments will furnish an inval-
uable series of object lessons and an unfailing fountain of
instruction to the students. Here also are located courts
of all kinds known in the State, embracing not only the
ordinary Municipal and the Circuit and Chancery Courts,
but also the United States Court and the Supreme Court.
Thus the observant student may follow the history and
course of cases in actual litigation from the lowest tribunal
to the highest; and observe in their practical operation the
nice distinction between the State and Federal jurisdic-
tion and practice. Here also is located the extensive and
valuable State Law Library, unequalled in the State, the
privileges of which each student may enjoy without cost.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 39
Here, too, where the Legislature convenes every second
year, the student has an opportunity, without absenting-
himself from his school, to witness the deliberations of
that body and observe the passage of the laws which, in
after life he may be called upon to study and apply; thus
he acquires a knowledge of the methods and practice of
legislation.
Applicants for admission to the Junior class must be
at least nineteen years of age; those for admission to the
Senior class must be at least twenty. Students may enter
the Junior class without any preliminary examination, a
good English elementary education being all that is
required. Students may enter the Senior class upon sat-
isfactory examination on the matter of the Junior course
or its equivalent. No student will be graduated on less
than five months of actual attendance in the school.
Each student will be required to present satisfactory
certificates of good moral character.
Each student will be required to pay a tuition fee upon
entrance, of fifty dollars, for the session's instruction. No
rebate from this fee will be made because a student may
desire to attend for a period less than a full session.
Course of Study
The full course of study will consist of two years, the
Junior and Senior, each comprising forty weeks, five exer-
cises per week.
The instruction will consist mainly of daily oral exam-
ination of the students on lessons assigned in standard
text-books. Formal written lectures will not be read. The
law is too abstruse to be learned in that way. The pro-
fessor will accompany the examination by running com-
ments upon the text, illustrating and explaining it, and
showing how the law as therein stood has been modified or
reversed by recent adjudications and legislation.
The course will be carefully planned and conducted so
40 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
as to meet the requirements of the Mississipyi law in re-
spect to the admission of applicants to practice law, by
examination before tne Chancery Court, and will there-
fore embrace all the titles prescribed by law for that
examination, viz: (1) The Law of Real Property; (2)
The Law of Personal Property: (3) The Law of Pleading-
and Evidence; (4) The Commercial Law; (5) The Crimi-
nal Law; (6) Chancer}^ and Chancery Pleadings; (7) The
Statute Law of the State; (8) The Constitution of the State
and the United States.'
The objects set for accomplishment by this school
are two:
First, to prepare young men for examination for license
to practice law, in such manner as both to ground them
thoroughly in elementary leg-al principles and also to pre-
pare them for examination for license with assurance of
success; Secondly, to equip them for actual practice by a
higher range of leg-al scholarship than what is merely
needed for a successful examination for license. There-
fore our course of study is so arranged as fully to meet
both of these ends.
First — The curriculum of the JuniorClass will embrace
each of the eight subjects on which the applicant for
license is required by the Code to be examined. A care-
ful, detailed and adequate course is followed, so that any
student, even although he shall never have read any law
before coming to us, if he will apply himself with reasona-
ble fidelity, can go before the Chancellor at the expiration
of his Junior year, with a certaint}' of success. The prep-
aration of applicants for license, in one year, will be, in
short, a specialty of this school.
When a student shall have completed his Junior year,
he will have open to him either one of two courses: He
may stand his examination for license before the Chan-
cellor, or be may stand his examination before the law pro-
fessor simply for advancement to the Senior Class if he
MILLSAPS iCOLLEGE 41
does not care to stand for license at that time. If he shall
be examined before the Chancellor, and pass, he will be
admitted to the Senior Class, of course, and without fur-
ther examination, in case he shall desire to finish his
course with us and take a degree of Bachelor of Laws.
On the other hand, if he prefer to postpone his examina-
tion for license, he can be examined by the professor for
advancement merely, and stand his test for license at the
hands of the court at the end of the Senior year.
As stated above, the Senior year is designed to give to
the student a broader and deeper culture chan is needed
only for examination for a license. It is not, strictly speak-
ing, a post-graduate course, since it must be taken before
graduation; but it is a post-licentiate course, and the
degree conferred at its conclusion represents that much
legal accomplishment in excess of the learning needed for
license to practice.
The Senior Class is required to attend the recitations
of the Junior Class, by way of review, and to be prepared
for daily questioning on the daily lessons of the Junior
Class.
Moot Courts will be conducted under the direction of
the professor in charge, in which the young men will be
carefully instructed and drilled in the practical conduct of
cases.
42 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION,
Millsaps Colleg-e is named in honor of Major R. W.
Millsaps, whose munificent gifts have made the existence
of the institution possible. The College is the property
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and was organ-
ized by the concurrent action of the Mississippi and North
Mississippi Conferences. It is not sectarian, however,
but numbers among its patrons members of all the Chris-
tian denominations.
The College has an endowment of $100,000, and sev-
eral partially endowed scholarships. The buildings and
the grounds are worth about $100,000. The first scholastic
session began September 29th, 1892, and the College has
had remarkable prosperity from the beginning. The gen-
erous founder. Major Millsaps, by the gift of the Webster
Science Hall, at a cost of $10,000, and the Jackson College
property, at a cost of more than $30,000, has greatly en-
larged our facilities.
Location
Jackson, the capital of the State, and the seat of the
College, is easily accessible by five lines of railway. Four-
teen passenger trains arrive and depart daily. The College
is located just north of the city, on a commanding eleva-
tion, with perfect drainage, and in a beautiful campus of
seventy-five or more acres. A healthier spot it would be
difficult to find within the limits of the State. The loca-
tion secures all the advantages of the town and yet sup-
plies all the healthful conditions and immunities of the
country. Jackson is a small city of 30,000, with handsome
churches and public buildings and is noted for the refine-
ment and intelligence of its people. Its literary, social and
religious advantages are superior. Bishop Galloway, Pres-
ident of the Board of Trustees, resides here, and his
lectures and special sermons delivered from time to time
add greatly to the interest and profit of each session.
The James Observatory
Millsaps College is prepared to offer the very finest
advantages in the study of astronomy. Mr. Dan. A.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 43
James, of Yazoo City, Miss., has built an observatory for
the College in honor of the memory of his father, Mr.
Peter James, and of his brother, Mr. Samuel James. He
has also furnished the observatory with a magnificent tel-
escope.
Library
The Library has commodious quarters for alcoves
and a reading room in Webster Science Hall. It is a mat-
ter of great gratification that the College, so early in its
history has such a large and valuable collection of books.
Most of the well-selected libraries of the late Dr. C. K.
Marshall, and Rev. W. G. Millsaps, besides many excel-
lent volumes from Ex-Chancellor Edward Mayes, Rev. A.
F. Watkins and others, have been generously contributed.
In addition to his other munificent gifts. Major R. W.
Millsaps has made many valuable contributions to the
Library.
Martha A. Turner Library. — Mrs. J. R. Bingham,
of Carrollton, Miss., has given $1,000.00 to endow the
Martha A. Turner Library of English and American Lit-
erature. The fund is invested and the annual interest used
in purchasing books in this special field.
Literary Societies
Two large halls have been provided for the Literary
Societies organized for the purpose of improvement in
debate, declamation, composition and acquaintance with
the methods of deliberative bodies. These societies are
conducted by the students, under constitutions and by-
laws of their own framing. They are named, respec-
tively, the Galloway and Lamar Societies, and contribute
greatly to the improvement of their members.
Boarding Facilities
We have established "Students' Homes," capable of
accommodating a limited number of boarders, and each
placed in charge of a Christian family. Two of these
homes, Asbury Home and Williams Home, each with a
capacity of from twenty-four to thirty young men, are now
ready for occupancy. In addition we have several small
cottages in which students can board themselves at
44 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
reduced cost; or, if they prefer, lodge there and take their
meals elsewhere. No studeat will be permitted to room
at the cottag-es without special permission from the
President.
Memorial Cottages. — The friends of the late John
A. Ellis, of the Mississippi Conference, and Rev. J. H.
Brooks, of the North Mississippi Conference, have built
tv-^o cottages for the accommodation of students. These
homes are named, respectively, the John A. Ellis Cottage
and the J. H. Brooks Cottage.
Founder's Hall
Through the generosity of Major Millsaps we have
recently come in possession of additional valuable property
including a large dormitory building. This supplies the
finest facilities for boarding accommodations. The rooms
are heated with steam, and are furnished with iron bed-
steads, and mattresses,jChairs and tables. The management
of the Hall is in charge of Rev. A. H. Shannon, a member
of the Faculty and an accomplished Christian gentleman.
As a member of the Faculty he will exercise the full
authority of an officer of the college.
Table Board in Founders Hall can be had at $7.00 per
month. All of the advantages of the Hall, including lodg-
ing, fires in winter, and table board will cost only ^9.00
per month.
Scholarships
Several scholarships have been established, the income
from which will be used in aiding deserving young men in
securing a collegiate education. — The W. H. Tribbett
Scholarship, the W. H. Watkins Scholarship, the Jefferson
Davis Scholarship, established by Mrs. Annie Davis Gun-
nmg, and the Peebles Scholarship, established by Mrs. N.
P. McPherson.
The Oakley Memorial. — Under the direction of Mrs.
J. R. Bmgham, of Carrollton, Miss., a fund has been
raised to establish a memorial in honor of the late Rev. J.
S. Oakley, who was for manj^ years an honored member
of the North Mississippi Conference. The following Sun-
day Schools have contributed to this fund: Macon, Black
Hawk, Carrollton, Rosedale, Starkville; Wood Street,
Water Valley; and W^inona.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 45
College Mails
All correspondence intended for students at the Col-
leg"e should be addressed care Millsaps College. Mails are
distributed to students on the campas, thereby avoiding
the necessity of personal visits to the city postofl&ce.
Election of Classes and Courses
Students are allowed some liberty of choice of classes
and courses, either by themselves, or their friends, limited
to the judg-ment of the Faculty and by the exigence of
classification. A student is not allowed to withdraw from
any class to which he has been assigned, without per-
mission of the President and the Professor in his de-
partment.
Examinations
Written examinations will be held three times a year,
and special examinations at other times as the several
professors may elect.
There is a tendency among students to withdraw just
before or in the midst of the June examinations. This
results in a loss to the student, for examinations are more
than a test of knowledge. They are an educational instru-
ment for teaching method, promptitude, self-reliance; for
training in accuracy, and for developing in the student the
power of concentration of attention and readiness in the
shaping and arranging of thought. Examinations will not
be given in advance of the set time. No student who
leaves College before the completion of his examinations
will be admitted to the next higher class until he has sub-
mitted himself to the prescribed tests.
During the session reports will be sent to the parent
or guardian of each student, in which will be an estimate
of his class standing and deportment.
Discipline
It will be the constant care of the administration to
guard the moral conduct of students. The dicipline will
be firm. Obedience to college regulations will be strictly
required. Young men unwilling to submit to reasonable,
wholesome government are not desired and will not be
retained.
46 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Certificates of Good Character
Candidates for admission are required to g-ive satis-
factory evidence of good, moral character; and, if the can-
didate comes from another college, he must show that he
was honorably discharged.
Prizes
Prizes are annually awarded for excellence in:
1. Oratory. The J. B. Ligon medal and the Oscar
Kearney Andrews medal.
2. Reading the Sacred Scriptures. The Gunning
medal.
3. Declamation. The Millsaps medal.
4. Essay. The Clark medal.
Candidates for Admission
Applicants for admission must report to the Presi-
dent and to the Secretary as soon as possible after their
arrival, and secure board at some place approved by the
College authorities. Except in cases where special per-
mission is granted students to board in the cottages or in
town, they will be required to board in one of the Stu-
dent's Homes or in private families near the College.
New students should be present on Monday and Tuesday
that they may be examined and classed before the opening
daj^ Wednesday, September 23.
Entrance Examinations
Examinations for those applying for admission into
Millsaps College will be held September 22-23. See cal-
ender, on page 2. See detailed statement as to entrance
requirements, page 14.
Atiiletics
With the help of friends, the students have equipped
a commodious gymnasium. The annual spring Field Day
gives opportunity for public contests in running, jumping,
putting the shot, etc. There is a student organization,
the Millsaps College Athletic Association, which helps to
keep up enthusiastic interest in healthful sports. A mem-
oer of the Faculty is president of this association.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 47
Religious Instruction
Students will be required to be present at morning
worship in the College Chapel. In this daily service the
Faculty and students come together to hear the reading
of the Sacred Scripture and to engage in singing and
prayer.
The Young Men's Christian Association holds weekly
meetings, and prayer meetings are regularly conducted
by the students. These agencies keep up a healthy spirit-
ual interest, and at the same time train the young men in
active Christian work. The Y. M. C. A. occupies an
attractive and commodious hall on the first floor of the
main building, All students are required to attend church
at least once every Sunday, and are expected to be present
at the Sunday school.
Public Lectures
With the view of promoting general culture among
the students, and to furnish them pleasant and profitable
entertainment, occasional lectures are delivered in the Col-
lege Chapel by distinguished speakers.
Expenses— Literary Department
Tutition for full scholastic year $30.00
Incidental fee. 5.00
Library fee 1.00
The tuition may be paid in two installments, as fol-
lows: First payment, $15.00, at the beginning of the ses-
sion, and the second payment, $15.00, the first of Febru-
ary. The Incidental and Library fees mnst be paid in
full when the student enters.
Students preparing for the work of the ministry in
any Christian denomination, and the sons of preachers,
will have no tuition to pay, but all students will be required
to pay the Incidental and Library fees.
BOARD in "Students' Homes" and good families can
be had at $12 per month, including lodging and lights.
Students are expected to furnish their own fuel; but, if
they prefer, it will be supplied at a cost of $5.00 for the
session. Each student is expected to furnish his own pil-
low, bed clothes and toilet articles.
If students prefer to room in one of the cottages and
48 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
take their meals elsewhere, table board will not cost them
more than $10 per month.
Ample facilities are provided for boord at the above
rates. Any student may feel assured that board will not
cost him more than $120 for the entire session.
We are not unmindful, however, of the fact that there
are hundreds of worthy young" men, rich in mental and
moral gifts and capabilities, who are compelled to reduce
the cost of living- to the minimum in order to enjoy the
advantages of educational institutions. Millsaps College
will always be in hearty sympathy with this class of young
men, and the authorities will encourage them in every pos-
sible way.
Many of our students, by boarding themselves, reduce
the cost of living below $7 per month. Our facilities for
accommodating this class of students have been enlarged.
In addition to the Tuition and Incidental Fees, stu-
dents in Laboratory Work will be charged a fee of $5;
students in Geology will be charged $1.00; students on
graduation will be required to pay a diploma fee of $5.00.
Tuition in Law Department, $50.
THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT
HEAD MASTER RICKETTS
ASSISTANT MASTER HUDDLESTON
The main object of this department is to prepare stu-
dents for the Freshman class of the College. The lack, at
present, of good training schools in our State makes the
need for such a department imperative. To students who
find it necessary to leave home in order to fit themselves
for college, we offer special advantages. By coming here
they will be quickly and thoroughly prepared for tbe reg-
ular college classes. Young men who are prepared for
college in their English studies, but who are behind in
their Latin or Greek, will find in this department the facil-
ities they need for bringing up their studies.
MILLS APS COLLEGE 49
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION '
No student will be admitted into this department who
is under 14 3'ears of ag-e. For entrance into the First
Year preparatory class, the pupil must be able to read
well, and must display a fair knowledg-e of the rudiments
of Eng-lish Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic. In other
words, he must be familiar with the leading- facts in geog-
raphy, particularly that of Europe and America; should be
prepared to solve intelligently examples in Grammar
School Arithmetic to Powers and Roots, and in English
Grammar should know well the parts of speech and their
modification, and the construction and analysis of simple
sentences.
Applicants for admission into the Second Year Class
will be expected to have completed Geography, United
States History, High School Arithmetic, Elementary Alge-
bra and English Grammar. In case Latin is studied, the
candidate will be examined on Collar and Daniell's First
Latin Book, or its equivalent. As the transition from dis-
connected sentences to Caesar would be too abrupt for
most students, selections from Viri Romse are read in
class during the last quarter of the first year, in connec-
tion with the First Latin Book. It is therefore recom-
mended that students preparing to enter the Caesar class
read at least fifty pages in this or some equivalent text-
book.
Greek is beg-un in the second year of the Preparatory
course. White's First Greek Book being the text-book
used. Pupils are thoroughly drilled on the forms of the
the language, and are also familiarized with the principles
of syntax treated of in the latter part of the First Book.
This lang"uag"e is so taught as to render the student able
by the end of the session to convert English sentences of
moderate difficulty into Greek and to translate passag-es
from Xenophon with facility.
In the second term of the second year the study of
practical rhetoric is begun. The student is at this point
drilled in the correction of exercises in false syntax, and
is taught to disting-uish the principal figures of speech.
These exercises are supplemented by compositions on
familiar subjects.
The course in English is designed not only to teach
the student to write and speak with grammatical correct-
5o MILLSAPS COLLEGE
ness, but also to inspire in him a love of good literature.
The reading and study of classics like Scott's Lady of the
Lake and Ben Franklin's Autobiography can hardly fail
of being beneficial in effect.
Those who do not take a regular college course will be
expected to pursue all the studies laid down with the
exception of Latin and Greek. Physical Geography and
Civil Government are not required of those taking Greek.
In the work of the Department thoroughness is at all times
insisted upon.
In the second year a short course in Science is offered,
so that the work of the Department covers all that is
required for a first grade teacher's certificate in the pub-
lic schools of our State.
Students in this department who wish to prepare them-
selves for ordinary business life may have their studies
directed to this end. The work so arranged will embrace
the Preparatory English Course with the addition of Book-
keeping. Special attentitn will be given also to Penman-
ship Practical Composition, and Commercial Arithmetic.
Those who purpose taking this course should corres-
pond with the President or with the Headmaster of the
Department.
