SUMMARY. 


According  to  precedent  this  catalogue  should  have  been 
issued  about  the  close  of  1894,  simultaneously  with  the  Report 
to  the  General  Assembly.  But  as  that  body  did  not  meet  last 
winter  the  usual  Report  was  not  prepared  and  it  seemed  advis- 
able to  make  the  catalogue  conform  to  the  regular  collegiate 
year.  On  the  15th  of  November  the  enumeration  of  students 
was  as  follows : 

Post  graduates ..  10 

Graduates 11 

Seniors 13 

Juniors 18 

Sophomores  20 

Freshmen 49 

Preparatory  and  Special 197 

Among  this  number  there  were  : 

Students  of  the  Piano 23 

Students  in  Voice  Culture 9 

Students  in  Bookkeeping 13 

Students  in  Stenograph}^ 11 

This  catalogue  contains  the  names  of  all  students  during 
five  terms,  in  order  to  make  the  record  continuous;  but  the 
number  properly  falling  within  the  collegiate  year  is  285.

The  figures  in  parenthesis  indicate  the  number  of  exercises 
per  week.  To  the  obligatory  work  there  should  be  added  eight 
exercises  in  Elocution  and  sixty  in  Pedagogy — the  latter  in  the 
early  part  of  the  course.  It  is  believed  that  the  above  four 
courses  are  equal  in  educational  value,  and  all  require  about 
twenty-five  hundred  hours  of  class-room  work  for  their  comple- 
tion. In  addition  to  the  obligatory  subjects  the  student  will  be 
permitted  to  elect  any  other  for  which  in  the  judgment  of  the 
Faculty  he  is  prepared.

ORIGIN  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY. 
The  existence  of  the  Ohio  University  was  provided  for  as 
early  as  1787,  in  the  purchase  made  from  the  Government  of  the 
United  States  by  the  Ohio  Company  of  Associates.  By  the  con- 
tract between  these  two  parties,  two  townships  of  land  were  set 
apart  for  the  purpose  of  a  University,  and  placed  under  the 
care  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State.  The  University  was 
organized  under  an  act  of  the  lyCgislature  passed  in  1804.  Its 
Trustees  are  appointed  by  State  authority  and  the  Governor  of 
the  State  is  ex- officio,  a  member  of  the  Board. 

LOCATION. 

Athens,  the  seat  of  the  University,  is  situated,  in  the  south- 
eastern part  of  the  State.  It  is  easily  accessible  from  the  east 
and  west  by  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Southwestern  Railroad  and 
its  branches ;  from  the  central  and  Northern  portions  of  the 
State  by  the  Columbus,  Hocking  Valley  and  Toledo,  and  Kana- 
wha and  Michigan  Railwaj^s.  By  these  routes  it  is  about  one 
hundred  and  sixty  miles  east  from  Cincinnati,  and  seventy-five 
miles  southeast  from  Columbus. 

The  lover  of  natural  scenery  cannot  fail  to  be  charmed  with 
its  picturesque  surroundings.  The  winding  valley  of  the  Hock- 
hocking  and  the  wooded  hills  beyond,  present  a  series  of  lovely 
views  from  the  University,  while  the  wide  prospects,  as  seen  at 
certain  seasons  from  some  of  the  neighboring  summits,  are  sel- 
dom surpassed   in  quiet  and  varied  beauty. 

The  site  of  the  University  buildings  is  a  spot  of  unusual 
attractions.     The  buildings  occup}^  a  slight  elevation,  extending 

( xxxii )

east  and  west  across  the  grounds.  Ou  the  north  front  lies  a  park 
of  about  four  acres,  which  contains  a  grove  of  fine  forest  trees, 
skirted  along  its  northern  limit  by  a  row  of  magnificent  elms. 
That  portion  of  the  grounds  lying  in  the  rear  of  the  buildings  is 
set  apart  for  recreation. 

THE    BUII.DINGS. 

These  are  four  in  number.  The  main  building  was  erected 
in  1817,  and  is  the  oldest  college  edifice,  as  the  University  itself 
is  the  oldest  institution  of  learning  northwest  of  the  Ohio  River. 
This  venerable  structure,  made  dear  to  many  by  a  thousand 
strong  and  tender  associations,  and  to  many  more  by  the  names 
of  eminent  men  who  have  studied  or  taught  within  its  walls,  has 
recenlty  been  remodeled,  and  while  retaining  the  same  general 
proportions,  is,  to  all  intents,  a  new  building.  It  is  admirably 
planned  and  well  finished.  With  its  slate  roof  and  massive  cor- 
nice, its  lengthened  windows,  its  convenient  arrangement  and 
pleasant  appointments,  it  will  compare  favorably  in  appearance 
and  adaptation  to  its  purpose,  with  most  college  buildings  in  the 
West. 

The  two  wing  buildings,  originally  used  for  dormitories, 
have  been  transformed  into  recitation-rooms  and  laboratories, 
repainted  and  one  of  them  heated  with  steam.  The  room  for 
many  years  used  as  a  chapel  has  been  provided  with  suitable 
furniture,  and  is  now  occupied  as  a  school-room. 

The  new  building  stands  on  an  eminence  at  the  western 
side  of  the  campus.  In  design  it  is  unique  and  elegant ;  the 
material  is  brick  with  cut-stone  trimmings.  Its  dimensions  are 
forty  feet  in  width  by  seventy-six  feet  in  length,  and  two  stories 
in  height.  It  has  two  fronts,  one  on  the  west,  toward  Court 
street,  which  is  the  principal  street  in  the  town,  and  one  on  the 
east  toward  the  main  building.  The  first  floor  contains  the 
chapel  or  assembly  hall,  tw^o  corridors  and  stairwa5^s,  and  a  wait- 
ing room.  The  second  floor  contains  two  society  halls,  with  a  com- 
mittee room  attached  to  each.  The  building  has  been  occupied 
since  the  fall  of  1883.

COURSES    OF    STUDY. 


Such  courses  of  study  iiave  been  adopted  as  experience  has 
proved  to  be  the  best  adapted  to  the  purpose  of  liberal  education. 
The  classical  course,  in  fullness  and  matter,  will  compare  favor- 
ably with  that  of  the  best  institutions.  The  philosophical  course 
is  so  arranged  as  to  meet  the  wants  of  those  who  maj*  prefer  to 
stud}"  modern  languages  and  English  branches  instead  of  Greek, 
for  which  French,  German  and  English  are  substituted.  In  the 
scientific,  prominence  is  given  to  mathematics  and  the  ph5-sical 
sciences. 

The  pedagogical  course  is  intended  to  fit  3'oung  people  for 
the  profession  of  teaching.  A  fuller  statement  of  its  aims  and 
methods  will  be  found  in  another  part  of  this  catalogue. 

Those  who  are  able  to  attend  for  a  short  only,  ma}^  take  a 
select  course,  provided  the  studies  thej'  wish  to  pursue  are  such 
as  they  are  qualified  to  enter  upon  with  advantage.  But  no 
student  will  take  a  studj'  to  which  he  has  not  been  assigned,  or 
discontinue  a  study,  without  permission  obtained  from  the  Faculty. 

No  students,  except  Seniors,  and  those  taking  a  select  course, 
are  permitted  to  recite  in  the  Senior  studies  of  the  third  term, 
and  the  Senior  examinations  of  the  third  term  are  limited  to  the 
regular  Senior  studies  of  that  term. 

LIBRARY   AXD    READING    ROOM. 

In  the  stud}'  of  Literature  and  Histon,-,  the  most  important 
aid  in  addition  to  a  good  teacher,  is  a  large  stock  of  .well  selected 
books.  In  this  respect  the  O.  U.  is  liberalh-  provided.  The  col- 
lege and  society  libraries  contain  about  15,000  volumes,  a  large 
part  of  which  are  of  recent  purchase.  In  addition  to  the  books 
of  a  general  character,  the  private  libraries  of  the  professors, 
which  contain  works  of  a  more  special  character  to  the  number 
of  several  thousand,  are  also  accessible  to  the  students  under 
certain  limitations.  The  reading  room  furnishes  access  to  the 
latest  contributions  to  all  topics  under  current  discussion.  Some 
of  the  larger  works  are  not  onh-  useful  for  reference,  but  also  for 
purposes  of  original  investigation.  Of  the  more  important  may 
be  mentioned,  a  complete  set  of  the  Living  Age  in  200  volumes. 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  35 

of  the  Atlantic  Monthly  in  70  volumes,  of  the  Nation  in  55 
volumes,  of  the  Transactions  of  the  American  Philological 
Association  in  20  volumes,  and  the  American  Philological  Jour- 
nal in  15  volumes.  There  is  also  a  complete  set  of  Valpy's 
L,atin  Classics  in  159  volumes ;  of  the  Greek  Classics  in  150  vol- 
umes; Bursian's  Jahresbericht  in  80  volumes;  of  Kuhn's  Zeit- 
schrift  in  30  volumes,  and  of  Iwan  Mueller's  Handbuch  in  25 
volumes.  Among  the  dictionaries  that  have  been  provided  are 
the  Encyclopedic  Dictionary  in  14  volumes ;  Sander's  Deutches 
Woeterbuch  in  four  volumes  ;  Littre's  Dictionaire  Francaise  in 
five  volumes,  and  Forcellini's  lyatin  Dictionary  in  four  volumes. 
There  are  complete  editions  of  the  German  and  French  Classics, 
aggregating  more  than  three  hundred  volumes,  and  all  of  the 
leading  English  poets  and  prose  writers.  Of  Reference  work 
the  principal  are  the  Encyclopedia  Britannica  in  29  volumes  ;  the 
new  American  Encyclopedia  in  27  volumes ;  McClintock  and 
Strong's  Cyclopedia  in  12  volumes ;  The  Schaff-Herzog  Cyclo- 
pedia in  three  volumes ;  Pierer's  Lexicon  in  22  and  Me5^er's  in  19 
volumes ;  Baumeister's  Denkmaeler  des  class.  Altertums,  in 
three  volumes ;  also,  Lalor's  Cyclopedia  of  Political  Economy ; 
the  Century  Dictionary ;  the  Oxford  Dictionary  as  far  as  pub- 
lished, etc.  A  number  of  years  ago  the  English  Government 
presented  the  University  Library  with  a  lot  of  volumes  in  large 
folio,  among  which  are  Acts  of  the  Parliament  of  Scotland,  Stat- 
utes of  the  Realm,  Domesday  Book,  Rymer's  Fcedera,  Parlia- 
mentary Writs,  Proceedings  in  Chancery,  and  many  others. 

Among  recent  acquisitions  are  a  set  of  Westermann's  Mon- 
atshefte,  Harper's  Magazine,  the  Century  and  Scribner's  Maga- 
zine, Revue  des  deux  Mondes,  the  Dictionary  of  American  Bi- 
ography, the  Edinburg  Review,  Mind,  Das  Paedagogium,  etc. 

It  is  the  special  aim  of  the  managers  of  the  Library  to  ac- 
quire as  rapidlj'  as  issued  all  the  leading  works  bearing  on  Peda- 
gogy' whether  in  German,  French  or  English.  A  large  number 
of  works  on  this  topic  and  the  history  of  education  is  already  on 
hand.  The  Library  is  so  managed  as  to  be  accessible  every  day. 
The  reading-room,  in  which  are  placed  most  of  the  reference 
books  and  all  the  periodicals,  is  accessible  at  all  times.  The 
reading  of  well  chosen  books   not  onlv  tells   the  student  what

others  have  thought  in  even.-  department  of  knovv"ledge,  but  hke- 
wise  stimulates  him  to  think  for  himself.     A  good  library-  is  of 

itself  a  university. 

APPARAXrS  AND  CAEIXET. 

Much  valuable  apparatus  has  been  procured  for  the  various 
departments  of  Mathematics.  Astronomy,  Physics  and  Chemis- 
try- :  and  these  subjects  are  illustrated  b}"  experiments.  A  Chem- 
ical Laboraton.-  has  been  provided,  which  contains  working  tables 
supplied  with  gas  and  water,  and  affords  even.-  facility-  for  prac- 
tical work. 

A  Biological  Laboratory-  has  also  been  fitted  up  with  the 
necessan.-  appliances  for  pursuing  work  in  the  departments  of 
Biolog}-. 

A  considerable  part  of  the  annual  State  appropriation  is  ex- 
pended in  the  purchase  of  apparatus  for  the  departments  of 
Chemistry-,  Physics  and  Biology-.  In  the  selection,  special  refer- 
ence is  had  to  laboratory  work  by  the  students  themselves.  Ad- 
ditions are  being  constantly  made  to  the  apparatus.  A  fine  set 
of  survej-ing  instruments  of  the  most  approved  kind  has  recently 
been  purchased  for  the  students  in  field  work.  The  cabinet 
affords  important  aid  in  the  study  of  Mineralogy-  and  Geolog3". 
But  we  are  greath*  in  need  of  further  contributions  thereto,  and 
to  this  end  the  assistance  of  the  friends  of  the  institution  is 
greatl}-  desired  and  earnestly  solicited. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES. 

There  are  three  literary-  societies  in  the  Universitj- — the 
Athenian,  the  Philomathean  and  the  Adeiphia — the  last  being 
composed  exclusiveh-  of  ladies.  The  members  have  opportunity 
to  exercise  themselves  in  declamation,  composition  and  debate, 
and  to  become  familiar  with  the  modes  of  conducting  business 
in  deliberative  assemblies.  The  work  of  these  societies  forms  a 
valuable  part  of  college  training,  and  all  students  are  strongl}'- 
urged  to  join  one  of  them.  Xo  student  will  receive  a  diploma 
who  has  not  been  a  member  of  one  of  these  societies  at  least  a  j-ear.

METHODS  OF   INSTRUCTION. 

Instruction  is  giv^n  both  by  recitation  and  lectures.  The 
constant  aim  in  both  is  to  awaken  interest  in  study,  to  aid  in  the 
acquisition  of  knowledge,  and  to  develop  the  powers  of  thought 
and  communication, 

Some  subjects  can  be  better  treated  in  lectures  than  others. 
The  knowledge  the  student  has  of  a  subject  is  likewise  a  factor 
that  is  taken  into  account.  The  lecture  method  is  generally  bet- 
ter adapted  to  advanced  students  than  to  those  who  are  still  in 
the  elements.  After  the  elementary  principles  have  been  thor- 
oughly mastered  from  the  text-book,  supplemented  with  such 
elucidations  as  seemed  to  be  called  for,  the  student  is  generally 
prepared  to  profit  by  the  lectures  of  the  teacher,  and  to  grasp  the 
wider  outlook  that  is  the  result  of  a  knowledge  of  a  subject 
rather  than  of  the  contents  of  any  single  book,  or  even  of  sev- 
eral books.  In  the  observational  studies  the  learner  is,  as  far  as 
possible,  brought  face  to  face  with  the  objects  themselves  under 
consideration.  The  classes  in  Botany  and  Geology  make  excur- 
sions into  the  surrounding  country  for  the  purpose  of  collecting 
specimens  and  deriving  scientific  knowledge  from  original 
sources.  The  classes  in  Surveying  and  Mensuration  have  prac- 
tice in  the  use  of  instruments  in  field  work. 

ADMISSION   AND    DISCIPLINE. 

Entering  the  University  v^^ill  be  considered  a  pledge  to  obey 
its  rules  and  regulations.  These  are  few  and  simple,  appealing 
to  the  student's  self-respect  and  sense  of  personal  responsibilit5^ 
Persons  of  known  bad  character  or  of  lazy  habits  are  not  wanted 
and  will  not  be  retained  unless  they  show  a  decided  desire  to  re- 
form. Students  from  other  colleges  must  present  certificates  of 
honorable  dismissal. 

Candidates  for  advanced  standing  are,  in  all  cases,  examined 
to  ascertain  their  thoroughness  and  proficiency;  but  certificates 
from  other  institutions  will  be  accepted  for  the  amount  of  woik 
done  in  the  different  departments. 

In  exceptional  cases  students  are  admitted  to  classes  for  a  week 
on  trial,  without  examination,  provided  the  Professors  in  charge 
are   reasonably    certain   that  they  can   maintain    their   standing. 


38  OHIO  UNWERSITY. 

Ladies  are  admitted  to  all  departments  of  the  University  on 
the  same  terms  and  under  the  same  conditions  as  those  prescribed 
for  young  men. 

A  record  is  made  of  the  daily  work  of  each  student.  When 
the  standing  of  the  student,  as  shown  by  this  record  and  exami- 
nation, falls  below  an  average  grade  of  70  per  cent.,  he  must  re- 
view the  study.  A  record  is  also  kept  of  each  student's  deport- 
ment. A  low  standing  of  either  record  is  followed  bj'  private 
admonition,  and  notice  is  giveu  to  the  parent  or  guardian. 

Whenever  the  conduct  of  a  student  is  such  as  to  indicate 
that  he  is  unfit  to  be  a  member  of  the  Universit^^  either  because 
of  immoralit}-  or  because  of  habitual  neglect  of  his  college 
duties,  he  will  be  dismissed.  But,  in  the  latter  case,  his  parents 
■will  first  be  requested  to  withdraw  him,  and  if  not  withdrawn 
within  a  reasonable  time,  he  will  be  dismissed. 

Stress  is  laid  upon  the  fact  that  no  3-oung  man  or  woman 
need  hesitate  to  enter  the  Ohio  Universit}'  for  lack  of  means,  or 
because  of  inadequate  preparation.  The  surest  guaranty  of 
success  is  an  honest  and  determined  efforf  to  succeed.  If  the 
student  has  learned  nothing  more  during  the  3'ears  spent  in  col- 
lege than  how  to  study,  and  how  to  investigate  any  subject  of 
which  he  takes  hold,  no  matter  how  meager  his  knowledge  ma}" 
be  at  the  start,  he  will  be  able  to  enlarge  it  with  astonishing 
rapidit}'.  His  time  thus  spent,  whether  it  be  measured  b}-  terms 
or  3-ears,  will  have  been  wiseh'  employed.  Our  age  is  sadh"  in 
need  of  men  and  women  who  have  such  a  preparatory^  training 
for  life's  duties. 

RELIGIOUS     INFLUENCE. 

Students  are  required  to  be  present  at  prayers  in  the  chapel 
ever}"  morning,  unless  excused  b}'  the  Faculty,  and  to  attend 
public  worship  on  the  Sabbath;  but  the  choice  of  the  place  of 
attendance  is  left  with  the  student  or  his  parents.  A  students' 
pra\'er  meeting  is  held  once  a  week,  at  which  attendance  is  op- 
tional. The  Universit}'  is  not  sectarian,  and  no  effort  is  made  to 
inculcate  the  doctrines  of  anj-  particular  creed  or  denomination ; 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  39 

but  the  utmost  care  is  taken  to  promote  sound  and  healthy  reli- 
gious sentiments.  We  feel  sure  that  nowhere  do  these  matters 
receive  more  careful  attention. 

The  founder  of  the  Ohio  University  believed  that  "religion, 
morality  and  knowledge  are  necessary  to  good  government  and 
the  happiness  of  mankind;"  and  it  has  been  the  steady  purpose 
of  those  to  whom  has  been  entrusted  the  duty  of  carrying  out 
his  plans  to  insist  on  the  intimate  relation  existing  between  the 
three.  The  good  man,  the  good  citizen  is  not  he  who  is  best  in- 
formed, but  he  who  is  constantly  inspired  with  the  thought  that 
his  knowledge  should  be  used  for  the  good  of  his  fellow-men. 
Knowledge  without  virtue  is  a  curse  and  not  a  blessing.  It  is 
the  constant  policy  of  both  Trustees  and  Faculty  to  inspire  stu- 
dents with  the  love  of  knowledge,  and  with  desire  to  practice 
religion  and  morality.  Accordingly  only  those  persons  are  in- 
vited to  profit  by  the  means  of  instruction  here  placed  within 
their  reach,  who  are  willing  to  conform  their  conduct  as  far  as 
possible  to  the  teachings  of  the  Bible.  We  expect  students  who 
have  spent  some  time  with  us  to  depart  not  only  wiser  but  also 
better  than  they  came.  If  such  is  not  the  case  it  will  not  be  for 
want  of  care  on  the  part  of  the  Faculty. 

DEGREES. 

The  degree  of  Bachelor  is  conferred  upon  students  who 
have  completed  any  one  of  the  four  courses  laid  down  in  another 
part  of  this  catalogue.     The  fee  for  diploma  is  five  dollars. 

The  degree  of  Master  will  be  conferred  upon  graduates  of 
this  or  any  other  college  who  give  evidence  to  the  Faculty  that 
they  possess  such  literary  and  scientific  attainments  as  will  make 
them  worthy  recipients  of  it,  without  reference  to  the  time 
elapsed  since  graduation.  The  fee  for  this  degree  is  ten  dollars. 
For  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  see  another  part  of 
this  Catalogue. 

No  degree  will  be  coiif erred  imtil  all  dues  are  paid.

TUITION. 


Regular  tuition  in  all  departments,  per  term $7  00 

Contingent   fee    for    all    students   whether   they  have  free 

scholarships  or  not,  per  term 3  00 

In  addition  to  these  fees  there  are  the  following  extras  : 

Piano  or  voice  culture,  per  term,  two  lessons  per  week $10  00 

Use  of  piano  one  hour  per  day,  per  term 3  00 

Book-keeping  and  allied  branches,  per  term 5  00 

Stenography  and  type-writing,  per  term 5  00 

The  regular  fee  in  chemistry  and  electrical  engineering  is 
one  dollar  per  term  to  cover  the  cost  of  materials  used.  To  this 
should  be  added  a  small  charge  for  breakage — to  careful  students 
usually  not  more  than  a  few  cents.  After  the  second  term  in 
chemistry  the  regular  fee  is  two  dollars  per  term. 

Those  students  who  wish  to  pursue  studies  privately  in  the 
collegiate  departments  for  which  they  desire  to  have  credit  toward 
the  attainment  of  a  degree  will  be  required  to  pass  an  examina- 
tion on  each  branch,  and  for  this  examination  an  extra  fee  of  |5 
will  be  charged,  which  may,  however,  be  remitted  by  a  vote  of 
the  Faculty. 

A//  hdtion  bills  must  be  paid  within  the  first  thirty  days  of  the 
term.     No  exceptions  can  be  tnade  to  this  regulation. 

One  student  from  each  county  of  the  State  is  admitted  free  of 
eharge  for  tuition.  Any  one  desiring  to  have  the  benefit  of  a 
county  scholarship,  must  receive  his  appointment  from  the  auditor 
and  commissioners  of  the  county,  and  obtain  from  them  a  cer- 
tificate stating  that  he  or  she  is  of  good  moral  character  and  an 
actual  resident  of  the  county  from  which  sent. 

Board  can  be  obtained  within  a  reasonable  distance  of  the 
University  at  $2.75  per  week.  By  forming  clubs,  students  may 
board  at  $1.75  per  week.  Those  students  whose  circumstances 
require  it,  are  allowed  to  board  themselves,  by  which  means  their 
expenses  maj^  be  still  further  reduced ;  but  this  plan  is  not  recom- 
mended, because  liable  to  be  prejudicial  to  health. 

The  actual  cost  of  an  education  at  the  University  will  depend 
very  much  upon  the  disposition  and  habits  of  the  students.  The 
necessary  cost  is  very  low — as  low  as  at  any  other  institution 
affording   equal   advantages.     It    is   earnestly  recommended   to 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  41 

parents  not  to  furnish  their  sons  or  daughters  with  extravagant 
means.  The  scholarship  and  character  of  a  student  are  often 
injured  by  a  free  indulgence  in  the  use  of  money.  Whatever  is 
bej'ond  a  reasonable  supply,  exposes  him  to  numerous  temptations 
and  endangers  his  success  and  respectability. 

As  persons  frequently  wish  to  know"  as  near  as  may  be,  the 
cost  of  a  student  for  one  year  at  the  Ohio  University,  the  follow- 
ing estimates  are  here  given : 


LOWEST. 

Contingent   Fee   and   Free 

Scholarship ?9  00 

Board  in  clubs 70  00 

Room 30  00 

Books 11  00 


Tuition $30  00 

Board  in  private  family l-oO  00 

Room 100  00 

Books 20  00 


S200  00 


S120  00 

This  estimate  is  for  three  terms  or  forty  weeks,  and  includes 
all  necessar}'  expenses  except  washing,  and  a  small  fee  for  mem- 
bership in  the  literarj^  societies.  The  additional  charges  for 
students  who  take  electives  in  chemistry-  and  for  the  special  class 
in  electricity  are  elsew^here  noted. 

MAPS  AXD  CHARTS. 

An  excellent  set  of  maps,  chiefly  those  of  Kiepert,  intended 
to  illustrate  the  phj^sical  features  and  political  changes  of  the 
historical  countries  of  Europe  and  the  East  has  latel}"  been  added 
to  the  equipment  of  the  institution.  These  in  addition  to  those 
alread}'  on  hand,  afford  an  important  and  well  nigh  indispensable 
aid  to  the  study  of  Histor}-  and  Geograph}-.  The  outfit  in  this 
regard  is  believed  to  be  unusuall}-  complete. 

THE  EMERSON  PRIZE  POEM  FUND. 

The  late  W.  D.  Emerson,  of  the  class  of  '33,  bequeathed  to 
the  Trustees  of  the  University  the  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars, 
the  interest  of  w^hich  is  to  be  awarded  everj^  second  3-ear  to  the 
student  or  graduate  of  the  institution  who  shall  write  the  best 
original  poem.  The  interest  of  this  fund  will  again  be  available 
in  June  1895.  As  at  present  invested  it  yields  an  annual  revenue 
of  §65.     The  first  award  was  made  in  1893  to  Miss  Carrie  Schwefel. 


42  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

ELECTIVES. 

EactL  Student  in  a  regular  course  will  be  required  to  take  at 
least  fifteen  class  exercises  per  week,  and  no  student  will  be  per- 
mitted to  take  more  than  seventeen,  except  on  permission  of  the 
Faculty.  This  permission  will  be  given  onlj-  on  the  written  re- 
qiiest  of  the  student.  Students  in  any  one  of  the  courses  can 
select  subjects  in  any  one  of  the  others  below  the  class  to  which 
the}'  are  assigned,  but  not  above,  except  on  approval  of  the  Fac- 
ult}',  who  must  be  convinced  that  they  have  had  suflScient  pre- 
liminary- training  to  pursue  the  elected  study  with  advantage. 
As  will  be  seen,  about  half  the  subjects  after  the  Freshman  year 
are  elective.  But  in  addition  to  these  a  large  number  of  others 
are  ofiered  for  the  benefit  of  those  persons  who  wish  to  specialize 
still  further  along  particular  lines.  It  needs  to  be  noted  however, 
that  the}-  are  not  offered  unconditionalh*.  Regard  will  be  had  to 
the  time  at  the  disposal  of  the  teachers  and  to  the  number  of 
students  taking  am*  particular  elective,  as  well  as  to  their  pre- 
liminary training.  In  all  cases  where  a  student's  knowledge  of 
English  is  defective  he  must  pursue  this  branch  until  his  de- 
ficiencies are  made  up. 

During  the  past  few  yesLVS  a  number  of  students,  both  under- 
graduate and  post  graduate,  have  pursued  advanced  studies  on 
special  lines.  With  the  recent  increase  in  the  number  of  the 
Faculty  a  larger  number  of  students  can  be  accommodated  and 
in  a  larger  number  of  branches. 

ABOUT    GETTING    POSITIOXS. 

The  President  and  the  diff"erent  members  of  the  Faculty  are 
frequentl}-  asked  what  they  can  do  in  the  matter  of  finding  em- 
ployment for  students  upon  graduation,  or  even  before.  To  this 
question  the  invariable  answer  is  that  the}-  do  not  and  can  not 
conscientiously  make  any  promises:  nor  can  any  self-respecting 
body  of  men  similarly  situated.  But  their  experience  and  ob- 
ser^-ation  has  been  as  to  those  who  seek  positions  as  teachers, 
.  that  the  demand  for  competent  and  thoroughly  trained  men  and 
women  has  generally  exceeded  the  supply.     Not   infrequently 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  43 

students  wlio  give  promise  of  success  are  induced  to  leave  col- 
lege before  graduation  by  the  offer  of  a  tempting  situation. 

It  needs  to  be  kept  in  the  mind  that  knovv^ledge  and  educa- 
tion do  not  fit  any  person  for  any  employment.  These  are  in- 
deed important — in  fact  essential ;  but  the  personal  equation  is 
also  important.  Students  who  get  along  smoothly  with  their 
superiors  and  their  fellows,  and  who  make  a  good,  or  even  fair, 
record  in  their  classes,  rarely  fail  of  success  in  after  life.  On  the 
other  hand,  those  who  are  chiefly  concerned  to  get  a  maximum 
of  credit  for  a  minimum  of  work  ;  who  are  in  constant  fear  lest 
their  merits  should  not  be  duly  recognized  ;  and  who  are  more 
concerned  to  seem  than  to  be,  may  expect  to  be  estimated  at  their 
true  value  sooner  or  latter. 

In  every  occupation  those  who  are  willing  to  begin  pretty 
near  the  bottom,  no  matter  how  well  educated,  but  who  are  con- 
stantly on  the  alert  to  supplement  their  knowledge  and  training 
with  the  experience  of  practical  life,  rarely  fail  of  regular  and 
fairly  rapid  promotion.  More  essential  to  success  than  mere  in- 
tellectual ability,  are  trustworthiness,  an  honest  and  conscientious 
desire  to  do  one's  best,  united  to  promptness  and  fidelity  in  the 
performance  of  duty.  Students  who  do  their  best,  whether 
under  the  eye  of  an  overseer  or  not,  rarely  fail  to  make  successful 
teachers,  or  professional,  or  business  men,  even  when  their  class 
record  has  not  been  particularly  high.  It  is  the  observation  of 
all  teachers  that  students  who  are  regular  in  the  performance  of 
their  daily  duties  for  several  years,  usually  become  good,  some- 
times even  fine  scholars.  .He  who  has  learned  how  to  study,  has 
an  education  within  his  reach. 

It  is  the  constant  aim  of  the  officers  of  the  O.  U.  to  make 
their  students  self-reliant,  to  cultivate  in  them  the  spirit  of  honor 
— in  short,  to  make  them  manly  men  and  womanly  women. 
They  also  make  it  a  point  to  inform  inquirers  about  the  qualifica- 
tions of  candidates  for  positions  as  nearly  as  possible  as  to  the  exact 
facts  in  the  case,  believing  such  a  course  to  be  the  only  just  one 
toward  all  the  parties  concerned.  While  they  do  not  claim  to  be 
infallible,  they  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  in  hardly  a 
single  instance  have  they  misjudged  a  student  who  has  been 
under  their  tuition  for  two  or  more  years.     No  student  or  pros-

pective  employer  should  assume  that  a  recommendation  will  be 
forthcoming  from  the  President  or  any  member  of  the  Faculty 
upon  demand,  merely  because  they  have  stood  to  each  other  for 
some  years  in  the  relation  of  teachers  and  pupils.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  Trustees  and  P'aculty  will  co-operate  heartily  to  aid 
every  worthy  student  in  every  possible  way,  both  while  in  col- 
lege and  afterward. 

POST  GRADUATE  STUDIES  AND  THE  DEGREE   OF  PH.  D. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  will  be  conferred  on 
persons  who  furnish  evidence  to  the  Faculty  that  they  possess 
conspicuous  scientific  attainments.  Such  evidence  may  consist 
either  in  the  written  or  printed  work  of  the  candidate,  or  in  the 
examination  he  undergoes  before  the  Faculty,  or  both.  A  thesis 
will  in  all  cases  be  required,  and  it  must  be  submitted  at  least  six 
weeks  before  commencement.  Great  stress  is  laid  upon  the  fact 
that  no  mere  mastery  of  other  men's  labors,  however  complete, 
will  entitle  a  candidate  to  the  degree.  He  must  give  evidence  of 
possessing,  not  merely  a  measure  of  natural  ability,  but  that  kind 
of  scientific  training  which  qualifies  him  to  be  an  original  in- 
vestigator in  his  chosen  department.  He  will  be  expected  to 
know  not  only  all  that  others  know  upon  his  chosen  theme,  but 
to  have  added  some  new  discovery,  however  slight.  If  the  sub- 
ject chosen  be  literary,  or  historical,  or  philosophical,  the  matter 
should  be  so  arranged  and  combined  as  to  exhibit  new  results  or 
justify  some  new  inferences.  Candidates  are  reminded  that  no 
mere  essay  or  lecture  of  a  popular  character  can  be  accepted. 
Under  ordinary  circumstances  they  should  allow  themselves  at 
least  a  year  in  which  to  prepare  a  thesis ;  and  under  the  most 
favorable  conditions  less  than  six  months  will  hardly  suffice. 
The  shorter  time  will  be  sufficient  only  when  the  writer  is  already 
thoroughly  familiar  in  a  general  way  with  the  subject  of  which 
his  thesis  treats. 

We  do  not  require  residence  because  we  have  found  that  this 
condition,  though  eminently  desirable,  debars  some  capable  spec- 
ialists from  receiving  the  recognition  to  which  their  attainments 
justly  entitle  them.     It  is,  nevertheless,  the  purpose  of  the  ofl&- 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  45 

cers  of  the  O.  U.  that  the  degree  of  Ph.  D.,  when  conferred  by 
them,  shall  have  such  a  definite  value  as  to  commend  the  bearer 
to  the  consideration  ot  competent  judges. 

We  have  frequently  been  asked  to  lay  down  a  course  of 
study  for  this  degree.  The  Faculty  have  always  refused  to  do  so 
for  the  reason  that  it  would  only  be  continuing  the  college  course 
somewhat  further.  One  w^ho  is  worthy  of  this  degree  ought  to 
be  so  familiar  with  the  field  in  which  he  proposes  to  work  as  to 
need  but  little  guidance ;  he  ought  to  know  more  of  the  particu- 
lar subject  that  he  has  investigated  than  any  one  before  him. 
He  should  himself  be  the  best  judge  of  the  matter  he  can  use  to 
advantage  bearing  upon  the  special  line  of  investigation  he 
wishes  to  pursue.  In  view  of  these  conditions  it  is  evident  that 
so  few  will  apply  to  us  for  this  degree  as  to  make  printed  direc- 
tions superfluous.  In  short,  we  hold  that  the  degree  of  Ph.  D. 
should  be  granted  to  thoroughly  mature  students  only.  The 
Faculty  will,  however,  be  glad  to  correspond  with  prospective 
candidates  and  to  make  such  suggestions  as  may  seem  proper 
under  the  circumstances. 

It  is  not  to  be  assumed,  as  a  matter  of  course,  that  failure 
or  inability  to  gain  the  degree  indicates  a  general  lack  of  capacity. 
A  man  may  possess  great  ability,  and  yet  not  be  a  poet,  or  an 
orator,  or  a  scientific  investigator.  Sometimes  fine  general  schol- 
arship, great  intellectual  breadth,  or  superior  skill  in  the  correla- 
tion and  combination  of  facts  discovered  by  others  may  incapaci- 
tate him  for  the  minute  examination  of  a  single  point.  Some- 
times, again,  lack  of  time,  or  defective  mental  training,  which 
circumstances  render  it  impossible  to  overcome,  put  out  of  the 
reach  of  persons  the  needed  intellectual  concentration  which  the 
scientific  study  of  a  subject  postulates.  While  the  Faculty  do 
not  design  to  make  the  attainment  of  this  degree  unreasonably 
difficult,  they  do  intend  that  it  shall  signify  thorough  scientific 
training  and  not  mere  general  scholarship,  however  extensive. 
A  reading  knowledge  of  at  least  one  modern  language  will  be  an 
indispensable  requisite.  The  fee  for  diploma  is  $25.  In  addition 
to  this  a  fee  of  $5  must  accompany  the  thesis. 

Note — The  above  general  statement  taken  from  former  catalogues 
is  allowed  to  stand  for  the  present.      But  as  the  requirements  for  the  de- 


46  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

gree  of  Doctor  of  Philosoph}-  are  now  under  consideration  by  the  Ohio 
College  Association  and  as  it  is  certain  that  these  requirements  -will,  in  the 
near  future,  be  considerably  modified,  this  section  of  the  catalogue  should 
be  understood  to  have  only  teniporar}*  validity.  Prospective  candidates 
may  ascertain  the  state  of  the  case  by  correspondence  with  some  member 
of  the  Faculty. 

SCHOLARSHIPS. 

At  their  meeting  in  1892  the  Trustees  established  ten  schol- 
arships having  a  cash  value  of  one  hundred  dollars  each.  These 
scholarships  will  be  awarded  by  the  Faculty-  to  graduate  students 
of  this  or  any  other  college  whose  previous  studies  have  qualified 
them  to  profit  bj'  the  advantages  they  afford.  Their  object  is  to 
encourage  special  studj^  within  comparatively  narrow  and  well 
defined  limits.  In  most  cases  the  recipients  will  be  required  to 
teach  one  hour  per  da3\  These,  so  far  as  at  present  determined, 
are  as  follows : 

1,  Biolog}-.  2,  Chemistry.  3,  Educational  History-.  4, 
English  Literature.  -5,  Latin  and  Roman  Histor}'.  6,  Greek. 
7,  Philosoph}-.  8,  Psycholog}*.  9,  Mathematics.  10,  Phj^sics. 
Candidates  who  intend  to  make  application  for  any  of  these 
scholarships  are  requested  to  correspond  with  the  members  of 
the  Faculty'  in  whose  department  the  subjects  belong. 

HONOR    COURSES. 

The  Faculty  have  established  a  series  of  honor  courses  to 
which  students  will  be  admitted  on  the  following  conditions: 
The  applicant  must  have  completed  the  work  of  the  Sophomore 
3'ear  or  its  equivalent ;  he  must  show  more  than  average  capacity 
for  the  studies  he  wishes  to  pursue;  he  must  be  able  to  speak 
and  write  the  English  language  correcth-  and  with  ease.  The 
studies  that  constitute  these  courses  are  a  good  deal  more  difii- 
cult  than  the  regular  work  of  the  last  two  3'ears.  Some  of  them 
are  criven  in  this  catalogue. 


H)eta(leC)  Statement 


OF  THE 


Departments  of  Unetructton. 


GREEK. 


PROFESSOR    SUPER. 
ASSOCIATE   PROFESSOR   DUNKIvE. 

It  is  the  aim  of  this  department  not  only  to  teach  students 
to  read  the  authors  commonly  read  in  colleges,  but  also  to  make 
them  acquainted  as  far  as  possible  with  the  literature  and  life  of 
the  ancient  Greeks.  In  teaching  the  language,  especially  that 
of  Homer,  constant  attention  is  called  to  the  words  related  to 
other  languages,  particularly  Eatin,  German  and  English ;  and 
the  laws  of  consonantal  mutation  are  explained.  Especial  prom- 
inence is  given,  as  the  student  progresses,  to  the  following  points: 
First,  form ;  second,  vocabulary ;  third,  relation  to  cognate  lan- 
guages ;  fourth,  literature  and  history.  The  ear  is  regarded  as 
equally  important  with  the  eye  in  the  interpretation  of  words. 
When  possible,  some  entire  work  of  an  author  is  read,  as  it  is 
thought  a  more  lasting  and  more  satisfactory  impression  will 
thus  be  made  upon  the  mind  of  the  student  than  by  the  use  of 
selections  only. 

It  is  a  well-established  principle  in  the  study  and^teaching  of 
the  ancient  languages  that  they  should  be  made,  as  far  as  possi- 
ble, the  basis  of  a  study  of  antique  life.  The  Greek  language 
embodies  the  experience  of  the  most  remarkable  people  of  an- 

(xlvii)

tiquity — a  people  whose  achievements  in  literature,  in  the  arts, 
and  in  government  have  been,  and  doubtless  will  continue  to  be, 
inexhaustible  sources  of  profitable  instruction.  It  is  here  claimed 
that  a  study  of  the  Greek  language,  together  with  all  that  should 
properly  be  taken  in  connection  therewith,  will  contribute  the 
most  important  element  of  a  liberal  education. 

Before  admission  to  the  college  class  in  this  department,  the 
student  must  be  fairly  familiar  with  the  Greek  Grammar  and 
have  read  three  books  of  the  Anabasis  and  three  books  of 
Homer's  Iliad. 

The  Freshman  read  about  seventy-five  pages  of  Herodotus 
in  Goodwin's  Greek  Reader ;  nearly  the  same  number  of  pages 
in  Winans'  edition  of  Xenophon's  Memorabilia ;  and  the  Apol- 
ogy and  Krito  of  Plato  entire.  The  work  for  the  Sophomore 
year  is  usually  a  Tragedy,  a  Comedy  and  Demosthenes'  DeCor- 
ona.  More  important,  however,  than  the  amount  of  text  per- 
functorily read,  is  a  knowledge  of  the  Greek  language  and  a 
true  conception  of  the  life  of  Greek  antiquity. 

Works  of  Reference  :  Hadley's  and  Goodwin's  Greek  Gram- 
mars, Goodwin's  Greek  Moods  and  Tenses,  Liddell  &  Scott's 
Greek  Lexicon,  Anthon's  and  Smith's  Classical  Dictionaries, 
Autenrieth's  Homeric  Dictionar}^,  Ginn  &  Heath's  Classical 
Atlas. 

KlECTives. — Students  who  wish  to  pursue  the  study  of 
Greek  beyond  the  regular  course  can  be  accommodated  with 
three  exercises  per  week  for  three  terms,  the  subjects  to  be 
studied,  or  the  authors  to  be  read,  to  be  selected  by  the  professor. 
The  following  is  the  general  program  :  As  the  Freshman  year  is 
devoted  to  a  review  of  the  Syntax,  the  Accidence  of  the  Greek 
language  in  general,  the  student  is  prepared  to  take  up  the  study 
of  masterpieces,  either  in  oratory,  philosopy  or  poetry,  with 
special  reference  to  the  characteristics  of  each.  With  these  ends 
in  view,  one  or  more  terms  may  be  given  to  one  or  more  of  the 
Attic  orators,  to  one  longer  and  two  shorter  Platonic  dialogues, 
or  to  some  of  the  principal  dramas.  One  elective  term  in  Greek 
History  is  offered,  and  one  in  Comparative  Philology.

LATIN. 

PROFESSOR   EVANS. 
ASSISTANT    PROFESSOR    CONAWAY. 

To  enter  the  Freshman  class,  students  are  examined  on  four 
books  of  Caesar,  seven  orations  of  Cicero,  and  six  books  Virgil's 
.Eneid. 

Romae  Viri  Illustres,  Sallust's  Catiline,  and  selections  from 
Ovid  may  be  substituted  for  parts  of  the  other  authors. 

During  the  first  part  of  the  Freshman  year  attention  is  di- 
rected to  Latin  Rhetoric  as  exemplified  in  the  works  of  Cicero 
and  Livy.  During  the  latter  part  of  the  3'ear,  the  class  reads  the 
Odes  of  Horace  and  studies  Roman  Histor3^  Throughout  the 
whole  year  there  are  frequent  exercises  in  sight  reading  and  in 
turning  into  the  original,  English  renderings  of  Csesar,  Eutropius, 
and  Nepos. 

In  the  whole  work  the  endeavor  is  to  impress  on  the  minds 
of  the  students  that  Latin  is  the  language  of  a  moral  and  practi- 
cal people  who  left  their  mark  on  the  world  in  law  and  govern- 
ment ;  and  that  "  Rome  is  the  center  of  our  studies  and  the  goal 
of  our  thoughts ;  the  point  to  which  all  paths  lead,  and  from 
which  all  paths  start  again." 

Hand-books  :  Allen  and  Greenough's  or  Harkness'  Gram- 
mar ;  Allen's  Roman  History  ;  Harper's  Lexicon. 

Kiepert's  wall  maps  of  the  Roman  Empire  and  of  various 
countries,  Ginn  and  Co.'s  Classical  Atlases,  Gow's  "  Companion," 
Smith's  Dictionary  of  Classical  Biography,  and  Smith's  and  Sey- 
fert's  { Nettleship  and  Sandy )  Dictionaries  are  freely  accessible 
to  students  for  reference  in  their  work. 

Electives  :      Each   year  one  of  the  following   courses  is 
offered  to  students  who  desire  to  continue  the  study  of  the  Roman 
people,  beyond  the  course  that  is  required. 
1.     Latin  : 

Terence,  Cicero,  Lucretius,  Horace,  Juvenal,  Tacitus,  Pater- 
culus,  and  Quintilian  are  studied  according  to  the  tendency  or 
the  choice  of  the  class. 

The  students  have  access  also  to  Simcox's,Teuffel-Schwabe's, 
(Warr's  translation),   and    Browne's  Histories  of  Latin   Litera- 


60  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

ture,  and  to  Guhl  and  Koner's  Life  of  the  Greeks  and  Romans. 
2.     Ro7nan  History: 

A  whole  year  is  given  to  the  study  of  the  military  and  polit- 
ical history  of  Rome,  special  attention  being  directed  to  the 
causes  of  the  struggles  between  the  Patricians  and  Plebeians,  and 
between  Rome  and  Carthage;  and  to  those  which  made  Rome 
the  conqueror  of  the  world,  as  well  as  to  those  causes  which  led 
to  the  decline  of  the  Republic. 

Books  for  study  and  reference :  Epochs  of  Ancient  His- 
tory ;  Lanciani's  Ancient  Rome  in  the  Light  of  Recent  Excava- 
tions ;  The  Great  Captains — Hannibal — by  Dodge  ;  Duruy's  and 
Mommsen's  Histories  of  Rome,  Long's  Decline  of  the  Roman 
Republic,  and  Labberton's  Historical  Atlas. 
S.      The  Ro7nan  Constitutiofi  a7id  Outlines  of  Roma^i  Law: 

This  course  is  of  interest  to  students  who  look  forward  to 
the  study  of  law,  as  a  study  of  Roman  law  helps  one  to  get  a  clear 
idea  of  the  fundamental  conceptions  of  Jurisprudence.  The  study 
of  the  development  of  the  Roman  constitution  and  laws  will  help 
to  understand  how  all  constitutions  and  laws  grow.  In  the  last 
two  courses  described,  students  are  required  to  consult  Roman 
authors  in  addition  to  the  authors  already  mentioned.

MATHEMATICS  AND   ASTRONOMY. 

PROFESSOR   HOOVER,   ASSISTED   BY   ONE   OR   MORE   TUTORS. 

The  course  in  pure  Mathematics  embraces  nine  terms,  dis- 
tributed as  follows :  Algebra,  three  terms ;  Geometry  two  terms ; 
Trigonometry  and  Surveying,  two  terms ;  Analytic  Geometry,  one 
term ;  Calculus,  one  term.  Of  these,  three  terms,  including  Al- 
gebra to  Series  and  Plane  Geometry,  are  required  for  admis- 
sion into  the  Freshman  class ;  the  remaining  six  terms  are  in- 
cluded in  the  College  Department,  covering  the  Freshman  and 
Sophomore  years. 

See  also  courses  of  study  and  electives. 

In  teaching  the  pure  mathematics,  especial  attention  is 
directed  to  the  value  of  the  study  as  a  means  of  training  the  logical 
faculties.  Constant  stress  is  laid  upon  the  steps  of  reasoning 
which  underlie  the  various  processes  ;  and  it  is  insisted  that  the 
principal  business  of  the  college  student  of  mathematics  is  to 
apprehend  these  clearly. 

Power  to  apply  the  principles  is  tested  by  a  wide  range  of ' 
exercises    drawn    from   various    sources,    and    adapted    to   the 
capacity  of  the  student. 

A  part  of  the  Spring  term  in  the  Freshman  year  is  devoted 
to  the  subject  of  land  surveying  and  to  other  applications  of 
Trignometry.  This  work  is  important  as  giving  good  examples 
of  the  utility  of  mathematical  science  in  its  practical  applica- 
tions.    The  department  is  in  possession  of  an  excellent  set  of 


52  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

sun'e34ng  instruments,  including  a  transit,  level,  rod,  and  other 
necessarj'  appurtenances.  These  are  in  frequent  use  b}-  the 
students. 

Electives. — In  this  department  the  following  electives  are 
ofifered :  Differential  Equations,  Statics  and  Dynamics ;  El- 
liptic Functions ;  Spherical  Harmonics ;  Quaternions ;  Deter- 
minants :  Mathematical  Optics ;  Least  Squares,  and  Astronomy. 

HONOR   COURSE.

Third  Term. — Elliptic  Functions,  twent}"  hours  per  week. 

The  student  must  have  a  reading  knowledge  of  one  of  the 
Modern  Languages  before  he  enters  on  this  course.  For  the  w^ork 
of  this  3'ear  there  may  be  substituted  studies  in  Mathematical

RHETORIC  AND  ENGLISH  LITERATURE. 

PROFESSOR  BOUGHTON. 
ASSISTANT,     MISS    BURNS. 

The  work  of  this  department  is  intended  to  accomplish  two 
objects  :  First,  to  cultivate  the  art  of  expression  ;  second,  to  give 
the  student  a  practical  knov/ledge  of  English  and  American  au- 
thors. 

Preparator}^  to  collegiate  work,  the  student  must  show  pro- 
ficiency in  the  use  of  English,   and  must  have  a  knowledge  of 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  53 

the  elements  of  Rhetoric.  In  other  words,  he  must  have  had 
the  following  work  or  an  equivalent :  Reed  and  Kellogg's  Higher 
Lessons  in  English,  Waddy's  Elements  of  Composition  and 
Rhetoric,  and  Genung's  Practical  Rhetoric. 

The  required  work  in  English  is  as  follows :  For  the  B.  S. 
degree,  English  IV.,  First  Term  ;  for  the  A.  B.  or  B.  Ph.  degrees, 
English  IV.;  for  the  B.  Ped.  degree,  English  IV.,  and  the  First 
term  of  English  V.  The  other  courses  given  below  are  electives, 
open  only  to  such  students  as  are  prepared  for  the  work. 

ENGLISH  I.       PRACTICAL    JOURNALISM. 

This  is  a  three-hour  course  extending  through  the  year,  but 
students  of  any  grade  may  enter  the  class  at  any  time.  The  work 
consists  in  gathering  current  news,  educational  items,  and  lite- 
rary notes  and  in  preparing  this  matter  for  publication.  Ever}^ 
student  is  a  reporter  for  some  newspaper  published  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  Athens,  and  is  held  responsible  for  a  certain  amount  of 
copy  weekly.

BIOLOGY  AND  GEOLOGY. 

PROFESSOR   CHAPIN,  with    ONE    OR   MORE   ASSISTANTS. 

Students  in  all  the  preparatory  courses  have  been  required 
to  pursue  the  subject  of  Ph3^sical  Geography  in  this  department, 
though  the  study  is  treated  in  as  broad  a  manner  as  time  and 
facilities  will  permit.  Work  in  Physics  is  not  presupposed,  but, 
as  some  knowledge  of  ph3'sical  laws  is  essential  to  a  fair  compre- 
hension of  the  subject  matter,  several  lessons  are  devoted  to  this 
branch  at  the  outset,  accompanied  by  a  few  experiments.  During 
the  term,  talks  are  given  upon  animal  and  plant  life,  and  some 
simple  geological  principles  are  discussed.  Eor  practical  work 
in  Meteorolog}^  each  student  is  required  to  keep  a  daily  record 
of  the  barometer  and  thermometer,  prevailing  wind,  etc.,  and  to 
prepare  barometric  charts*for  examination. 

The  work  in  Zoology  being  assigned  to  the  winter  term,  use 
is  made  of  alcoholic  and  dry  specimens  of  animals  that  have 
been  collected  earlier  in  the  year  from  the  streams  and  fields  of 
this  locality,  to  which  is  added  a  liberal  supply  of  marine  types. 
Two  sets  of  these  types  have  been  received  from  the  United 
States  Government,  which,  together  with  the  material  secured  by 
purchase  from  different  collectors,  constitute  a  very  valuable 
collection.  The  student  enters  the  laboratory  at  the  very  start, 
and  such  t^'pes  are  placed  before  him  for  examination  and  dis- 
section as  will  lead  him,  step  bj^  step,  to  correct  habits  of  obser- 
vation, by  which  he  is  enabled  to  comprehend  the  close  relations 
of  one  form  of  life  to  another.  As  this  work  is  in  progress,  the 
subjects  under  examination  are  freeh^  discussed,  and,  on  the  com- 
pletion of  each  dissection,  the  student  is  examined  upon  the  work 
done.  Drawings  are  required  of  the  different  parts  and  organs, 
in  all  cases.  After  a  course  in  the  laboratory,  the  subject  of 
classification  receives  more  careful  attention,  all  the  branches  of 
the  animal  kingdom  being  taken  up  in  their  order.     An  advanced

course  in  Zoology  has  been  arranged,  and  a  scholarship  has  been 
established  which  will  insure  free  tuition  and  laboratory  privi- 
leges at  the  Marine  Biological  Laboratory,  Cold  Spring  Harbor, 
Long  Island,  to  the  student  in  this  department  doing  the  highest 
grade  of  work.  The  importance  of  the  advantages  thus  secured 
cannot  be  overestimated,  as  the  student  is  given  abundant  oppor- 
tunit}^  to  study  marine  life  amidst  its  proper  environment.  He 
will,  to  this  end,  be  expected  to  assist  frequently  in  dredging,  for 
which  a  naphtha  launch  is  provided,  in  charge  of  a  competent 
seaman. 

The  course  in  preparatory  Ph^^siology  aims  to  give  a  good 
general  knowledge  of  Anatom}^  and  H5'giene,  and  the  functions 
of  the  different  organs.  Occasional  dissections  are  performed 
before  the  class,  and  some  laboratory  work  is  required  of  all. 
In  the  collegiate  course,  this  subject  is  studied  by  more  advanced 
methods.  Osteologj^  receives  close  attention,  and  each  student 
is  expected  to  do  some  work  in  dissection,  besides  making  a 
practical  stud}'  of  a  few  histological  structures.  Physiological 
principles  and  theories  are  discussed  according  to  the  latest  inves- 
tigations, and,  in  this  connection,  experiments  are  performed  in 
the  laboratory.  The  department  is  supplied  with  a  valuable 
skeleton  and  superb  French  anatomical  models.  (For  more  ad- 
vanced work  in  Anatomy  and  Physiology,  see  Preparatorj^  Medi- 
cal Course.) 

Elementary  Botanj^  is  required  in  the  Preparatory  Peda- 
gogical Course  only,  though  many  from  the  collegiate  courses 
pursue  this  study.  Work  begins  with  an  observational  study  of 
germinating  plantlets,  all  students  being  required  to  sow  the  seeds 
of  several  representative  plants,  and  to  make  careful  drawings 
of  the  different  stages  of  growth.  Leaves,  roots  and  stems  are 
studied  from  the  objects  as  far  as  practicable,  and  careful 
dissection  of  certain  typical  flowers-precedes  the  regular  work 
of  Systematic  Botany.  As  time  permits,  the  student  is  given  some 
insight  into  the  microscopic  structure  of  plants  b}'  practical  work 
in  the  laboratory.  An  herbarium  of  not  less  than  fort}''  plants 
will  be  required  of  all,  or  an  equivalent  in  laboratory  work.  In 
the  collegiate  course,  the  student  is  set  to  work  at  once  with  the 
microscope,  the  object  being  to  secure  a  knowledge  from  actual 


58  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

observation  of  the  general  anatomy  and  physiology  of  plants. 
This  is  followed  by  work  upon  the  Cryptogams,  and  all  will  be 
encouraged  to  make  some  special  investigations  for  themselves. 

The  University  is  thoroughly  equipped  for  work  in  General 
Biology,  a  required  subject  in  all  the  collegiate  courses.  A  bio- 
logical laboratory  has  recently  been  completed  and  fitted  up  with 
modern  apparatus,  including  a  steam  sterilizer,  fine  optical  ap- 
pliances, dissecting  instruments,  water  bath^  paraffine  bath, 
CO2  freezer,  etc.  The  student  is  given  practical  training  in 
Microscopy,  and  is  taught  the  processes  of  staining  and  how  to 
prepare  permanent  mountings.  It  is  the  intention  to  give  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  structure  and  mode  of  growth  of 
typical  plant  and  animal  forms,  and  the  laboratory  work  is  ac- 
companied with  lectures,  in  which  the  composition  of  organisms, 
methods  of  reproduction,  development  and  other  biological  sub- 
jects are  discussed. 

At  an  early  stage  of  the  work  in  Geology,  such  objective 
study  of  minerals  is  pursued  as  will  enable  the  student  to  com- 
prehend the  composition  of  rocks,  which  is  next  taken  up.  To 
supplement  the  text,  lectures  may  be  given  from  time  to  time 
upon  dynamical,  structural  and  paleontological  Geology,  and 
these  subjects  are  further  studied  in  the  field.  Work  is  also 
offered  in  determinative  Mineralogy.  A  large  cabinet  of  minerals 
is  open  at  all  times  to  the  student  of  Geology.

PREPARATORY  MEDICAL  COURSE. 

It  is  desirable  in  many  cases  that  students  looking  forward 
to  the  medical  profession  should,  after  spending  four  years  in 
collegiate  work,  be  admitted  to  advanced  standing  in  the  medical 
schools,  whereby  a  j^ear's  time  may  be  gained.  With  this  object 
in  view,  the  department  of  Biology  now  offers  such  work  as  is, 
in  conjunction  with  Phj^sics  and  Chemistry,  recognized  by  the 
best  of  these  schools  the  full  equivalent  of  a  year's  professional 
study.  The  departments  of  Phj'sics  and  Chemistry  furnish 
abundant  opportunities  for  the  work  required  in  that  direction. 
The  biological  work  is,  from  the  very  outset,  suited  to  the  needs 
of  the  medical  student.  To  this  end,  it  properly  begins  with 
General  Biolog}',  to  be  followed  by  a  comparative  study  of 
animal  forms  and  of  phanerogamic  and  cryptogamic  plants.  The 
development  of  some  vertebrate  is  closely  studied,  and  prepara- 
tions of  embryos  are  required  of  each  student.  Throughout  the 
course,  close  attention  to  laboratory  work  is  insisted  upon. 
Practical  instruction  is  given  in  the  preparation  of  microscopic 
objects,  and  the  student  is  taught  the  technique  of  section  cut- 
ting and  mounting.  A  practical  knowledge  of  Human  Anatomj' 
is  obtained  from  the  careful  dissection  of  some  mammal,  the 
many  resemblances  to  the  anatomy  of  man,  and  the  few  differ- 
ences, being  continually  referred  to.  Arrangements  have  been 
made  wherebj"  students  of  the  University  are  allowed,  under 
certain  conditions,  to  attend  post  mortem  examinations  and  to. 
assist  in  the  work.  The  laboratory  is  provided  with  modern 
apparatus  for  accurate  investigation  of  disease  germs,  and  the 
student  is  therefore  required  to  do  practical  work  in  the  all-im- 
portant subject  of  Bacteriology. 

Upon  the  completion  of  this  course,  an}^  student  may  receive 
credit  for  one  3'ear's  work  in  the  regular  course  of  stud}'  at  the 
Starling  Medical  College,  Columbus,  Ohio.  Valuable  conces- 
sions will  also  be  granted  to  our  graduates  b}-  the  Medical  De- 
partment of  the  Universit}^  of  Penn5'slvania,  Jefferson  Medical 
College,  Medical  Department  of  the  Universit}'  of  Cincinnati, 
and  other  leading  medical  schools. 

Among  the  works  of  reference  to  be  found  in  the  library

PEDAGOGICS   AND   PHILOSOPHY. 

It  is  the  aim  of  this  department  to  prepare  students  for  the 
profession  of  teaching.  Such  preparation  requires  (1)  a  vivid 
conception  of  the  true  end  of  education:  (2)  a  knowledge  of, 
and  a  practical  acquaintance  with,  the  right  method  to  be  used 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  61 

in  attaining  that  end  ;  (3)  a  knowledge  of  the  principles  upon 
which  those  methods  are  based ;  (4)  a  true  conception  of  educa- 
tional values;  (5)  a  broad  range  of  scholarship  and  general  cul- 
ture. Everj^  opportunity  is  improved  to  impress  upon  the 
students  the  fact  that  the  object  of  education  is  not  primarily 
the  communication  of  knowledge,  but  symmetrical  development  of 
the  powers  of  the  mind.  It  is  a  prominent  object  of  instruction  in 
the  history  of  education  to  make  the  history  of  nations  illustrate 
on  a  grand  scale  the  fact  that  defective  and  stunted  types  of 
civilization  are  largely  due  to  false  educational  ideas.  The  be- 
lief is  that  students  will  be  helped  in  this  way,  as  they  can  in  no 
other,  to  a  true  conception  of  what  education  should  be,  and  to 
a  realization  of  its  transcendent  importance.  It  is  an  equally 
prominent  object  of  instruction  in  the  history  of  education  to 
help  students  to  gather  from  the  theories  of  the  great  educa- 
tional reformers  those  principles  which  may  fairly  be  claimed  to 
have  universal  validity,  and  to  have  a  place  in  the  science  of 
pedagogy. 

As  a  further  preparation  for  the  science  of  education, 
psychology  is  studied  with  great  care.  After  a  careful  and  criti- 
cal study  of  the  history  of  education  and  psychology  has 
familiarized  students  with  the  true  idea  of  education  and  the 
principles  upon  which  intelligent  efforts  to  attain  it  must  be 
based,  instruction  is  given  in  the  science  of  education — which 
is  but  the  systematic  and  orderly  statement  of  the  principles 
with  which  at  that  point  students  are  already  familar — and  also 
in  methods. 

If  the  primary  end  of  education  is  development  of  faculty 
rather  than  the  communication  of  knowledge,  the  question 
which  Spencer  regards  as  first  in  logical  order  in  the  theory  of 
education,  "what  knowledge  is  of  most  worth? "  is  not  the  first, 
or  even  second.  The  question  is,  what  faculty  is  of  most 
worth?  What  stress  shall  be  laid  upon  the  culture  of  the  various 
faculties  of  the  mind  in  order  to  attain  the  true  end  of  education, 
the  symmetrical  development  of  the  entire  man  ?  And  the  second 
is,  what  is  the  education  value  of  the  various  studies  in  the 
curriculums  of  our  schools  and  colleges  ?  In  other  words,  what 
is  their  capacity  when  rightly  studied  to  contribute  to  this  end  ?

This  is  deemed  an  important  part  of  the  theory  of  education, 
and  the  attempt  is  made  to  give  students  as  definite  an  idea  of 
it  as  its  great  difficulty  and  complexity  admit. 

And  no  opportunity  is  neglected  to  impress  upon  students 
the  fact  that  the  highest  success  possible  to  the  teacher  cannot 
be  obtained  by  the  pedant,  however  profoundly  he  may  have 
studied  the  science  and  art  of  education.  The  effort  is  con- 
stantly made  to  make  them  feel  that  to  succeed  as  teachers,  they 
must  be  men  with  a  broad  range  of  sympathies,  interested  in  all 
that  concerns  men. 

While  these  ideas  may  be  said  to  shape  the  methods  of  in- 
struction in  this  department  with  all  classes,  very  different  de- 
grees of  prominence  are  given  to  them  under  different  circum- 
stances, the  attempt  being  made  to  have  regard  to  the  needs  and 
development  of  students.  The  Department  of  Pedagogy,  as  at 
present  organized,  has  two  courses — a  short  course  about  equal 
in  length  and  thoroughness  to  that  of  the  best  state  normal 
schools  in  the  country,  and  a  long  course,  leading  to  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Pedagogy,  and  fully  equal  in  thoroughness  and 
culture  value  to  any  of  the  other  courses  offered  by  the  college. 
The  great  object  of  instruction  in  the  Department  of  Pedagogy, 
in  the  shorter  course,  is  to  give  students  as  vivid  an  idea  as  pos- 
sible of  the  true  value  of  education,  and  a  living  knowledge  of 
the  being  to  be  educated — "the  living,  learning,  playing  child." 
Text-book  instruction  in  psj^cholog}^  is  constantlj^  supplemented 
by  reports  of  observations  of  children,  and  students  are  daily 
asked  to  report  observations  that  illustrate  the  matter  in  hand — 
or  indeed  observations  of  children  in  general.  The  attempt  is 
made  to  interest  students  in  children  as  deeply  as  possible,  since 
all  methods  of  teaching  have  their  roots  in  the  nature  of  their 
minds. 

The  historj^  of  education  in  the  shorter  course  aims,  (1)  to 
interest  students  in  the  lives  and  labors  of  the  pioneers  of  edu- 
cational thought,  and  (2)  to  emphasize  those  theories  that  seem 
to  be  of  a  practical  character  today. 

Pedagog3^  proper,  in  the  shorter  course,  is  largely  a  study  of 
methods.  The  subject  is  taken  up  in  the  last  term  of  the  year, 
after  ps5^chology  and  the  history  of  education  have  been  pur- 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  63 

sued,  and  it  is  one  of  the  chief  aims  to  fix  and  organize  the 
practical  suggestions  and  hints  that  have  been  made  in  con- 
nection with  those  two  subjects. 

In  the  longer  course,  the  department  aims  to  keep  con- 
stantlj'  in  mind  that  it  is  dealing  with  those  who  are  to  be  leaders 
of  the  educational  thought.  The  aim  is  to  teach  Psychology 
with  such  thoroughness  that  those  students  who  afterwards  be- 
come Superintendents  may  teach  it  intelligently  to  their 
students,  and  at  the  same  time  learn  all  that  it  has  to  teach  con- 
cerning the  principles  that  underlie  all  correct  methods  of 
teaching. 

Students  are  urged  and  stimulated  to  accept  nothing  on  the 
authorit}'  of  the  text-book  when  it  can  be  at  all  avoided.  An 
important  aim  of  the  instruction  is  to  encourage  them  to  verify 
as  far  as  possible  the  statements  of  their  author — to  induce  them, 
in  a  word,  to  study  the  subject,  and  not  simply  a  book  about  the 
subject. 

The  history  of  education  in  this  course  is  divided  into  two 
parts :  First,  a  study  of  educational  ideals,  and  ideas  and  theories 
and  systems  and  institutions  of  the  past  as  they  have  appeared 
in  the  great  nations  of  the  world ;  and  second,  a  study  of  con- 
temporaneous systems  and  'institutions — state  and  city  school 
systems  in  this  countrj^  American  colleges  and  the  systems  of 
England  and  France  and  Germany.  It  is  a  chief  aim  of  this  de- 
partment to  train  students  of  education  to  develop  an  interest  in, 
and  an  aptitude  for,  the  study  of  the  subject  that  underlies  all 
others.  Students  are  made  to  feel  that  the  varying  educational 
S3^stems  and  institutions  all  over  the  world  are  so  many  experi- 
ments in  the  great  educational  laboratory,  and  that  society  has 
the  highest  possible  interest  in  knowing  precisely  what  these 
experiments  teach.  It  is  made  a  part  of  their  work  to  make 
studies  of  educational  subjects,  the  results  of  which  are  read  be- 
fore the  class  and  thoroughh'  criticised  by  them. 

The  study  of  the  history  of  education  proper  is  to  a  large 
extent  a  study  of  the  intellectual  development  of  the  world,  since 
the  history  of  education  is  the  history  of  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant factors  of  that  development. 


64  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

The  science  of  education  in  this  course  aims  to  take  a  sur- 
vey of  the  entire  subject-— aims  to  put  students  at  the  point  of 
view  where  they  have  a  keen  appreciation  of  such  practical  prob- 
lems :  As  courses  of  study,  school  architecture,  superintendence, 
etc.,  as  well  as  to  give  them  a  clear  grasp  of  the  principles  and 
methods  that  naturallj'  follow  from  the  laws  of  the  mind.  And 
here,  as  everywhere,  the  aim  is  to  keep  as  close  to  life  as  possible 
— to  illustrate  the  various  conclusions  reached,  by  an  appeal  to 
the  actual  experience  of  some  part  of  the  world,  wherever  that  is 
possible.

POLITICAI.  SCIENCE. 

PROFESSOR    LE    ROSSIGNOL. 
ASSOCIATE    PROFESSOR    HIGLEY. 

Instruction  in  the  principles  of  Civil  Government  is  given  in 
the  Preparatory  Department.  The  text-books  used  are  named  be- 
low, but  they  serve  for  little  more  than  to  indicate  the  order  in 
which  the  various  topics  are  studied.  The  public  is  just  now 
especially  interested  in  questions  of  political  economy  and  in  the 
larger  one  of  sociology.  Consequently  many  books  and  shorter 
articles  are  constantly  appearing  in  the  public  prints,  many  of  them 
worthy  of  the  attention  of  the  student  who  wishes  to  keep  abreast 
with  the  progress  of  thought  in  these  matters.  The  standard 
works  are,  however,  carefully  studied  and  the  viev/s  therein  ex- 
pressed, examined  and  discussed  with  approval  or  dissent. 

A  right  understanding  of  the  questions  arising  from  the  sub- 
jects connected  with  this  department  is  regarded  as  of  the  highest 
moment  to  those  who  will  hereafter  become  members  of  the  body 
politic ;  and  no  pains  are  spared  to  equip  them  for  a  right  under- 
standing of  the  social  problems  in  the  solution  of  which  they  may 
hereafter  be  called  upon  to  assist. 

Among  the  periodicals  especially  to  be  recommended  to  the 
students  in  this  department  are  The  Forum,  The  N.  A.  Review^ 
The  Political  Science  Quarterly,  and  The  Annals  of  the  American 
Academy  of  Political  and  Social  Science.  Lalor's  Cyclopedia  of  Po- 
litical Scie?ice  is  at  all  times  accessible.  It  is  the  constant  aim  of 
the  teaching  in  this  department  to  impress  upon  students  the  im- 
portance of  investigating  political  and  social  questions  in  the  light 
of  all  the  facts  bearing  upon  them,  with  minds  as  free  as  possible 
from  partisan  prejudices  and  preconceived  theories.

PROFESSOR   ATKINSON. 
ASSISTANT,    MR.    YOUNG. 

1.'    Elementary  Practical  Physics. 

This  course  is  designed  for  students  in  the  Classical,  Phi- 
losophical and  Pedagogical  courses,  of  whom  one  term  is  required 
in  the  Sophomore  j^ear.  The  course  consists  of  a  series  of  phys- 
ical measurements  in  the  laboratory  directed  towards  imparting 
clear  ideas  of  the  fundamental  laws  of  mechanics,  and  of  general 
physical  processes  such  as  measurements  of  length,  area,  volume 
and  mass,  specific  gravity,  tenacity,  elasticity ;  also  outlines  of 
the  subject  of  heat.  The  laboratory  work  will  be  supplemented 
hy  lectures  and  recitations  on  the  methods  and  principles  in- 
volved. In  addition  to  giving  the  student  familiarity  with  the 
principles  and  methods  of  physical  measurements,  particular 
attention  is  paid  to  the  training  of  the  senses  to  accuracy  in 
observation  and  manipulation,    full   notes   being   taken   in   the

laboratory.     Lectures  twice  a  week,  laborator}^  twice  a  week,  of 
two  hours  each. 

2.  General  Physics. 

This  course  is  required  throughout  the  Junior  year  of  the 
Scientific  course,  and  ma}-  be  taken  as  an  elective  by  students  in 
the  other  courses,  provided  they  have  taken  those  studies  re- 
quired regularly  of  students  in  this  course.  In  all  cases,  unless 
previously  taken,  the  Junior  course  in  Chemistry  must  be  begun 
in  connection  with  this  work  in  Physics.  No  student  can  enter 
upon  this  course  until  he  has  completed  the  mathematics  of  the 
first  two  years  of  the  Bachelor  of  Science  course.  Students 
electing  Analytical  Mechanics  will  be  excused  from  the  first 
term  of  Phj'sics.  The  instruction  is  given  by  means  of  oral  and 
written  recitations  with  experimental  demonstrations.  Barker's 
Physics  is  used  as  a  text  book,  but  frequent  references  will  be 
given  to  works  bearing  upon  the  subjects  discussed.  The  first 
term  is  devoted  to  kinematics,  dynamics,  the  conceptions  and 
properties  of  matter  and  sound ;  the  second  to  heat  and  light, 
and  the  third  to  electricity  and  magnetism.  A  portion  of  each 
term  is  spent  in  the  laboratory  in  finding  experimental  proofs  of 
the  general  principles  discussed.  The  object  of  the  course  is  to 
give  accurate  conceptions  of  the  general  principles  of  the 
science,  and  to  find  their  bearing  on  the  law  of  the  conservation 
of  energy. 

3.  Physical  Laboratory. 

A  practical  laboratory  course  in  heat,  light  and  sound  is 
open  as  an  elective  to  those  who  have  taken  Course  1.  Glaze-

ments in  electricity  and  magnetism;  for  which  purpose  there  is  a 
thoroughly  equipped  laboratory.  Stewart  and  Gee,  Kempe  and 
Ayrton  will  be  used  constantly  as  laboratory  references.  Three 
times  a  week,  of  two  hours  each. 

ELECTRICAL   ENGINEERING. 

The  rapid  development  of  electricity  for  the  purpose  of  light 
and  power,  and  its  general  introduction  into  nearly  all  sections 
of  the  country,  have  created  a  great  demand  for  men  well 
qualified  in  this  branch  of  engineering.  This  profession  now 
offers  more  inducements  to  young  men,  and  the  chance  of  rapid 
promotion  is  greater  than  in  almost  any  other  field ;  this  condi- 
tion of  affairs  will  doubtless  prevail  for  many  years  to  come. 
The  thoroughly  educated  man  who  combines  practical  experi- 
ence with  the  theoretical  knowledge  of  electricity  and  magnetism 
is  in  special  demand,  as  many  of  those  now  engaged  in  this 
vocation  are  but  poorly  fitted  for  its  duties.  The  University 
possesses  a  model  incandescent  light  plant,  used  for  lighting  the 
buildings  and  campus,  with  the  design  of  extending  to  the 
student  practical  training  in  the  construction,  operation  and  care 
of  electrical  and  steam  machinery. 

The  plant  consists  of  a  twelve  horse-power  automatic  engine 
built  by  the  Racine  company,  of  Wisconsin,  a  horizontal  steel 
boiler  of  the  latest  type,  made  by  the  Erie  City  Iron  Works,  a 
Thompson-Houston  and  a  Westinghouse  dynamo.  This  plant 
also  furnishes  power  to  the  Westinghouse  motor  (on  the  U.  S. 
system),  which  drives  a  Gould  triplex  pump  by  means  of  which 
the  University'  is  supplied  with  water.  The  switch-board  is  com- 
pletely equipped  with  rheostats  and  instruments  for  measuring 
current  and  potential.  The  switches  and  fittings  on  the  board 
have  been  constructed  by  the  students  in  our  own  shops.  The 
wiring  and  general  work  of  installation  is  done  by  them  as  well ; 
they  are  thus  afforded  an  excellent  opportunity  to  obtain  practice 
in  putting  in  electrical  plants. 

The  electrical  profession  requires  a  certain  amount  of 
mechanical  ability  and  training  in  the  use  of  tools  and  machinery 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  73 

for  working  both  wood  and  metals.  Besides  the  ordinary  car- 
penter shop,  the  department  is  provided  with  two  shops,  a  metal 
and  wood- working  shop.  These  are  supplied  with  wood  and 
metal  working  lathes,  and  an  unusually  complete  outfit  of  tools, 
to  which  additions  are  being  constantly  made.  As  will  be  seen 
from  the  outlined  course  below,  while  mastering  the  use  of  tools 
the  student  is  taught  the  construction  of  useful  pieces  of  ap- 
paratus for  laboratory  purposes.  The  ability  thus  to  construct 
apparatus  and  machinery,  to  preserve  the  proper  relations  of  the 
several  parts  in  fitting  them  together,  and  in  overcoming  difficul- 
ties that  may  arise  in  embodjang  one's  ideas,  has  a  high  educa- 
tional value,  aside  from  its  practical  aspect. 

The  theoretical  portion  of  the  work  is  indicated  below. 
This  includes,  also,  seminary  work  with  references  to  the  leading 
treatises  on  electricity  and  magnetism  and  the  machinery  em- 
ployed for  lighting  and  power.  Periodicals,  as  the  Electrical 
Review,  Electrical  Engineer,  Electrical  World,  Power,  Scientific 
American,  Popular  Science  News,  Scientific  American  Supple- 
ment, Electric  Power,  Electricity  and  Engineering  Magazine,  are 
kept  on  file,  and  are  included  in  the  seminary  references.  This 
work  is  collateral  with  a  series  of  lectures  extending  through  the 
year.  For  the  practical  plant  work  each  division  of  those  in  this 
course  is  now  on  duty  one  night  out  of  each  week.  Each  engi- 
neer is  required  to  keep  a  record  of  steam  pressure  and  of  the 
current  of  each  machine  at  regular  intervals.  Through  the 
kindness  of  the  Athens  Electric  Light  and  Power  company, 
there  is  cooperation  with  the  city  arc  light  plant,  and  an  additional 
night  of  each  week  is  spent  in  learning  its  care  and  operation 
under  competent  supervision.  Here  also  steam  readings  are 
taken  every  fifteen  minutes,  and  the  amount  of  coal  consumed 
and  water  evaporated  is  measured  accurately,  and  estimate  made 
of  the  cost  in  coal  per  pound  of  water  evaporated ;  also  the 
amount  of  coal  used  per  indicated  horse-power  per  hour,  and  the 
fuel' cost  for  each  lamp  that  is  maintained.  The  student  is  thus 
from  the  beginning  taught  to  operate  an  electric  light  plant  both 
with  efficiency  and  economy. 

Requirements  :  This  course  is  elective  as  a  whole,  and  it  is 
expected  that  those  electing  it  unless  they  have  previously  taken 


74  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

a  portion  of  it,  shall  pursue  the  course  regularly.  None  will  be 
admitted  to  the  course  without  sufl&cient  mathematical  prepara- 
tion. The  required  number  of  hours  must  be  made  up  from  one 
of  the  regular  courses.  Mathematics  is  required  up  to  and  in- 
cluding Trigonometry,  though  analytical  Geometry,  Calculus 
and  Analytical  Mechanics  are  strongly  recommended.  The 
Junior  courses  in  Physics  and  in  Chemistry  are  also  required. 
When  the  regular  electrical  course  and  the  above  required  studies 
are  completed,  a  certificate  will  be  given  showing  the  character 
of  the  work  done,  and  where  it  is  deserved,  a  recommendation  of 
the  student's  ability  and  proficiency  in  theoretical  and  practical 
electricity.  The  following  is  an  outline  of  the  course  as  at 
present  constituted ;  this  however,  is  subject  to  such  changes 
from  time  to  time  as  the  rapid  development  of  the  subject  may 
dictate:

CHEMISTRY. 

PROFESSOR    BOWMAN. 

In  this  department  the  following  courses  are  offered : 
Inorganic  Chetnistry :  This  course  extends  over  two  terms 
and  consists  of  four  laboratory-  exercises  per  week,  in  which  the 
student  from  the  beginning  is  instructed  in  the  handling  of  ap- 
paratus and  the  making  of  experiments,  and  of  one  or  more  re- 
views per  week  of  the  subjects  treated  in  the  text-book  and  the 
work  done  in  the  laboratory,  including  questions  put  both  to  and 
by  the  student.  Problems  in  writing  are  also  given  out  from 
time  to  time  to  make  the  student  familiar  with  such  calculations 
as  the  chemist  needs.  The  laboratorj'  work  is  considered  an  im- 
portant part  of  this  course,  as  being  the  best  means  of  gaining  a 
clear  understanding  of  the  fundamental  ideas  of  chemical  science; 
of  the  connection  between  Chemistr}-  and  Physics  and  of  general 
laws  regarding  the  combination  of  the  elements  and  their  inor- 
ganic compounds.  Incidental  mention  is  also  made  of  the  vari- 
ous applications  of  chemical  laws  and  products  to  the  ends  of  the 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  79 

arts,  medicine,  and  manufactures.  During  the  latter  weeks  of 
this  course,  some  time  is  given  to  the  study  of  the  History  of 
Chemistry. 

Text-book,  Remsen's  Introduction  to  the  study  of  Chemistry 
(Briefer  Course  ) ;  Venable's  Short  History  of  Chemistry. 

Recommended  for  reference,  Roscoe  and  Schorlemmer's  Ele- 
ments of  Chemistry,  Bloxam's  Inorganic  Chemistry. 

Analytical  Chemistry :  The  work  of  this  course,  which  will 
require  two  terms  for  its  completion,  naturally  falls  into  two 
divisions : 

1.  Qualitative  Analysis,  four  laboratory  exercises  per  week 
during  one  term.  After  gaining  further  practice  in  chemical 
manipulation  and  a  wider  knowledge  of  the  compounds  and  re- 
actions of  the  common  elements,  the  student  advances  to  a  sys- 
tematic course  in  Inorganic  Qualitative  Analj^sis.  Ores,  alloys, 
mixtures  of  salts  and  technical  products  are  examined  both  in 
the  dry  and  wet  way. 

2.  Quantitative  Analysis,  four  laboratory  exercises  per  week 
during  one  term.  In  this  division  a  course  follows  in  Inorganic 
Quantitative  Analysis,  both  gravimetric  and  volumetric.  The 
composition  of  ores,  minerals,  fertilizers,  technical  products, 
etc.,  is  determined.  At  the  same  time  the  study  of  general  Inor- 
ganic Chemistry  is  continued  during  each  division  of  this  course, 
with  one  or  more  reviews  each  week. 

Text-books,  Eliot  and  Storer's  Manual  of  Qualitative  Chem- 
ical Analysis,  Appleton's  Quantitative  Analysis,  Remsen's  Ad- 
vanced Course  in  Inorganic  Chemistry. 

Recommended  for  reference,  Fresenius'  Qualitative  and 
Quantitative  Analysis. 

Organic  Chemistry:  The  work  of  this  course  consists  of 
four  laboratory  exercises  per  week  for  one  term.  The  same 
method  is  pursued  here  as  in  the  study  of  general  inorganic 
Cliemistr}^  great  stress  being  laid  upon  the  laboratory  work. 
The  compounds  of  carbon  are  prepared  and  examined  with 
reference  both  to  their  physical  properties  and  chemical  relations. 
There  will  be  one  or  more  reviews  each  week.

In  addition  to  the  preceding  regular  courses,  there  will  also 
be  given  opportunities  for  doing  practical  Tvork  along  special 
lines,  e.  g.,  examination  of  coal,  potable  waters,  illuminating  gas, 
fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials,  food  products,  etc.  Medical 
students  will  hare  a  good  chance  to  gain  such  chemical  knowl- 
edge and  practice  as  thej'  need. 

Graduation  in  Inorganic  Chemistry'  is  required  for  the  B.  A., 
B.  Ph.  and  B.  Sc.  degrees.  Elective  work  in  chemistrj-  maj-  be 
taken  as  per  prescribed  courses.  For  information  concerning  the 
honor  course  in  Chemistrs',  see  elsewhere.

room, weighing  room,  lecture  hall  and  private  office  of  the  Pro- 
fessor. It  is  warmed  throughout  by  hot  air  and  water  and 
lighted  b}'  electricity- ;  it  is  well  supplied  with  approved  ap- 
pliances, apparatus,  etc.  The  desks,  are  furnished  with  gas, 
water  and  all  the  apparatus  and  chemicals  necessary-  for  practical 
work.  The  facilities  for  table  work  thus  offered  are  excellent. 
No  labor  or  expense  will  be  spared  to  render  this  department  thor- 
oughly efficient  and  to  keep  it  abreast  of  the  times  both  in  the 
methods  of  instruction  employed  as  well  as  in  its  general  outward 
equipment.

MODERN  LANGUAGES. 

KATE  CRANZ,  ASSOCIATE  PROFESSOR. 

Modern  L/anguages  are  taught  from  a  practical  standpoint. 
Our  object  is  to  secure  three  things;  facility  in  translation  at 
sight,  and  as  wide  a  range  of  reading  as  is  possible  in  the  time 
allowed;  some  study  of  the  literature  of  each  language;  and 
practice  in  translation  from  English  into  the  foreign  tongue,  with 
a  training  of  the  ear  by  conversation. 

The  required  work  in  this  department  is  six  terms  of  German, 
and  three   of  French,  for  all  students  in  the  Philosophical  and 


82  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

Scientific  Courses;  and,  if  elected,  three  of  German  or  French 
for  all  in  the  Pedagogical  Course. 

All  advance  work  in  German  is  based  on  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  the  grammar  and  an  abilit)^  to  read  narrative  prose  with 
ease.  No  abridged  method  of  any  kind  is  used,  and  all  examina- 
tions are  held  in  German.  The  work  for  the  ensuing  year  is  as

ELOCUTION  AND  ORATORY. 

CATHERINE   A.    FINDI^EY,   ASSOCIATE   PROFESSOR. 

The  design  of  this  department  is  to  make  good  conversa- 
tionalists, good  readers,  good  speakers.  The  ideal  speaker  must 
not  only  instruct  his  hearers,  but  he  must  persuade  them  and 
move  them  to  action.  His  power,  apart  from  the  importance  of 
his  subject,  lies  in  his  personal  magnetism,  which  depends  largely 
on  the  measure  of  his  sympathies.  That  which  the  speaker  has 
to  impart  to  his  audience  of  his  personal  experience  at  the  time  of 
speaking  persuades  his  hearers  and  moves  them  to  action. 

The  constant  effort  made  in  the  reading  lesson  to  put  our- 
selves in  rapport  with  the  author ;  to  see  what  he  sees  and  feel 
what  he  feels,  developes  and  controls  our  own  imaginative  and 
emotive  powers.  Our  voices  and  our  bodies  become  instruments 
of  communication  between  us  and  our  hearers.  Now,  then, 
comes  the  need  for  training.  Believing  that  the  voice  is  simply 
a  medium  for  the  soul's  emotions,  we  develop  it  to  its  greatest 
extent  of  power,  flexibility  and  beauty,  that  it  may  more  power- 
fully set  forth  those  emotions. 

But  we  do  not  stop  here.  There  is  a  language  more  eloquent 
than  words — the  language  of  the  eye,  the  hand,  the  plastic  form. 
Nor  can  these  be  separated  from  the  voice.  When  we  are  stirred 
to  speak,  the  face  lights  up,  the  chest  expands,  the  whole  body 
becomes  infused  with  new  life,  and  speaks  a  language  more 
eloquent  than  words. 


84  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

That  master  of  expression,  Francois  Delsarte,  spent  his  Ufe 
in  the  study  of  human  nature  as  exhibited  in  unconscious  action 
— especially  of  the  Southern  nations,  who  gesticulate  more  freely 
than  we  do — and  from  that  study  he  deducted  a  method  by  which 
we  train  the  whole  muscular  system  to  respond  to  every  change 
of  the  soul's  emotions. 

The  course  then,  will  include,  in  connection  with  the  study 
of  literature,  the  development  of  the  voice  and  the  training  of 
the  form  according  to  the  Delsarte  method. 

First  Term. — Physical  culture,  development  of  the  voice, 
inflection,  phrasing  and  expressive  reading,  using  Curry's  Classic 
Selections  as  a  text-book. 

Second  Term. — Development  of  the  voice,  articulation  and 
pronunciation,  with  use  of  the  same  text-book. 

Third  Ter-m. — Esthetic  gymnastics  for  relaxing,  energizing 
and  directing  muscular  force ;  gesture  begun ;  the  use  of  a 
dramatic  classic  as  a  text-book. 

Foiirth  Ter^n. — Gesture  continued  with  use  of  a  dramatic 
classic  as  a  text-book. 

Two  declamations  or  orations  per  term  will  be  required  from 
each  student. 

An  elective  consisting  of  the  dramatic  rendering  of  a 
Shakespearing  drama  will  be  offered  during  the  middle  term  of 
the  Senior  year  to  those  who  have  completed  the  courses  in 
Literature  and  Elocution. 

VOCAIv  AND  INSTRUMENTAL  MUSIC. 

MYRTLE   STINSON    AND    LULA    C.    KING,    INSTRUCTORS. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  have  recently  added  a  course  in 
Music  without  determining  precisely  what  its  relation  to  the 
other  departments  should  be.  This  course  for  the  present  is  as 
follows  : 

a.  Chorus  and  Sight-reading. 

b.  Voice  Culture. 

c.  Piano  and  Theory. 

Under  the  first,  the  work  is  distributed  into  elementary  in- 
struction on  the  lines  and  spaces  as  representing  sounds ;  notes 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  85 

as  representing  quantity ;  the  clefs,  rhythm,  the  diatonic  major 
scale.  Further  lessons  in  dictation  in  connection  with  black- 
board exercises  for  the  purpose  of  familiarizing  the  student  with 
the  simplest  succession  of  tones  and  rhythmic  form.  Next,  the 
interval  system.  Here  progressive  exercises  are  used  in  order  to 
familiarize  the  pupil  with  the  various  intervals,  and  particular 
attention  is  given  to  correct  intonation  and  purity  of  tone. 
Finally,  the  theoretical  and  practical  development  of  the  major 
and  minor  scales,  followed  by  exercises  in  the  use  of  both  modes. 

With  students  of  the  second  grade  the  matter  in  the  first  is 
recapitulated.  This  is  followed  by  solfeggio  exercises  in  two 
parts  on  the  compositions  of  ancient  and  modern  masters.  Pupils 
of  the  third  grade,  study  three  and  four  part  compositions  in 
which  special  stress  is  laid  on  the  acquisition  of  a  correct  pro- 
nunciation of  both  vowel  and  consonant  sounds. 

Under  the  head  of  Voice-culture,  instruction  is  given  upon 
the  correct  position  while  singing;  the  position  of  the  mouth, 
tongue  and  larynx;  the  manner  of  attacking  and  leaving  a  note; 
the  manner  of  forming  pure  tones  in  the  different  registers,  and  of 
connecting  tones  without  slurring.  Next  in  order  are  respiratory 
exercises  in  which  the  pupil  is  taught  how  to  acquire  a  long, 
noiseless  and  easy  breathing  by  slow  inhalations  and  exhalations. 
These  are  followed  by  exercises  in  scales,  runs,  trills  and  other 
embellishments.  The  laws  of  expression  as  set  forth  in  the 
works  of  old  and  modern  masters  are  also  studied.  Last  in  order 
is  the  expression  of  vowel  and  consonant  sounds.  The  pupil  is 
taught  how  to  pronounce  distinctly  without  injuring  the  purity 
of  the  vocal  tones. 

PIANO. 

This  instrument  is  studied  in  the  following  order  : 
First    Grade. — Doerner's    Technical     Exercises,    Grade  1;

and  arpeggios,  both  major  and  minor :  Studies  by  Hiller,  opus 
45  and  46  :  Sonatinas  and  the  easier  pieces  of  Kullak,  Clementi, 
Kohler  and  Schorwenka :  Brethorn's  Rondo  in  C  major  and 
Brethom's  Variations,  opus  3. 

Third  Grade. — Doemer's  Technical  Exercises.  Grades  1, 
2  and  3  :  Kullak's  first  book  of  octave  studies  ;  Czernj-'s  Ve- 
locity Studies :  Cramer's  Studies ;  Bach's  Inventions  in  two 
and  three  voices  :  Schuman's  Compositions:  Mendelssohn's  Songs 
without  words,  and  Sonatas  by  Mozart  and  Haydn. 

Fourth  Grade. — Doerner's  Technical  Exercises,  Grades  1,  2 
and  3:  Kullak's  second  book  nf  octave  studies;  Tausig's  Daily 
Studies :  Czerny's  Daily  Studies ;  Gradus  and  Parnassum,  by 
Clemanti;  Bach's  Well-tempered  Clavichord;  Mendelssohn's 
Songs  without  "Words.  Finally,  Mozart  and  Beethoven's  Con- 
certos together,  with  compositions  b}'  old  and  modern  masters. 

All  the  pupils  in  this  department  are  required  to  take  the 
complete  course  in  Harmon}'  contained  in  class  A  and  B  of 
Broekhoven's  System  of  Harmony.  The  requirement  for  the 
pupils  in  vocal  music  is  limited  to  class  A.  Students'  recitals 
will  be  given  in  the  college  chapel  each  term,  in  which  all  who  are 
qualified  wul  be  expected  to  take  part.  The  value  of  such  prac- 
tice need  not  be  dwelt  on  here. 

Last  year  the  Faculty  of  the  Ohio  "C  niversity  issued  a  special 
circular  regarding  the  recently  established  course  in  Music.  It  is 
deemed  best  to  give  it  here  entire. 

The  object  of  this  circular  is  to  set  forth  in  brief  the  course  in 
music  that  has  recently  been  arranged  in  this  institution.  It  is 
planned  in  the  recognition  of  the  fact  that  music,  if  properly 
studied,  has  an  educational  value  nearh-  or  quite  equal  to  any 
other  branch.  It'i  object  is  not  so  much  to  make  skillful  players 
as  intelligent  judges  of  good  music.  The  Facult}'  are  aware  that 
this  is  to  study  music  with  a  totally  different  purpose  from  that 
generalh'  pursued,  but  they  are  thoroughly  convinced  that  this 
is  the  only  proper  and  legitimate  object  to  place  before  students. 
We  wish  to  attain  the  most  valuable  results.  Those  who  desire 
to  become  performers  will  be  accommodated  as  far  as  possible, 
but  the  chief  attention  of  teachers  will  be  directed  toward  the

attainment  of  genuine  musical  culture.     The   required   work  in 
departments  as  follows: 

A  Foreign  Language 540  hours 

Mathematics 180  ' ' 

Physics 60  " 

Physiology.^ 60  " 

Psychology 60  " 

Logic 60  " 

English  Literature 180  "

As  about  2,500  hours  of  class-room,  work  are  necessary  to  a 
degree  this  leaves  room  for  some  700  hours  of  elective  work. 
The  degree,  the  student  wnll  receive  wall  be  chiefl}'  determined 
by  his  electives. 

Students  who  have  had  three  years  of  lessons  on  the  piano, 
two  per  week,  and  one  of  theory,  or  an  equivalent,  may  be  ex- 
cused from  all  language  study  in  the  Preparator}'  Department. 
Musical  theorj'  shall  constitute  one  study  and  may  be  pursued 
as  long  as  the  student  desires  to  do  so.  Those  who  take  two 
lessons  per  week  in  instrumental  music  or  vocal  training  may 
receive  credit  for  75  hours'  elective  work  per  year.  A  good 
knowledge  of  English  will  be  insisted  on.  Those  who  attain  a 
sufficient  degree  of  proficiency  in  music  ma}'  receive  a  certificate 
in  addition  to  their  diploma. 

Among  the  text-books  used  will  be  Behnke's  Mechanism  of 
the  Human  Voice;  Behnke's  &  Browne's  Voice,  Speech  and  Song, 
and  The  Child's  Voice;  Elson's  German  Song  and  Song  Writers; 
Fay's  Music  Studj^  in  Germany  ;  Fetis'  Music  Explained  to  the 
World;  Goodrich's  Music  as  a  Language,  and  Complete  Musical 
Analysis;  Hand's  Aesthetics  of  Musical  Art;  Upton's  Standard 
Operas,  and  Oratorios;    Biographies   of  the   Great   Musicians  by 


88  OHIO  UNIVERSITY. 

Nohl  and  by  Huefter;  Ritter's  History  of  Music;  Musical  Acous- 
tics by  Broadhouse;  Grove's  Dictionary  of  Music  and  Musicians, 
etc. 

A  comparison  of  the  above  course  v^ith  any  other  in  the 
country  will  show  that  it  is  surpassed  in  excellence  and  thorough- 
ness by  none  and  equalled  by  few.  Those  who  complete  it  will 
not  only  have  an  intelligent  comprehension  of  music  both  in  it- 
self and  its  relation  to  the  other  arts  of  civilization  but  will  pos- 
sess an  excellent  education  in  addition.  A  musical  literary  club 
meets  once  in  two  weeks  for  the  study  of  the  literature  and  his- 
tory of  music. 

DRAWING  AND  PAINTING. 

SARAH  STINSON,  AI,ICE  J.  PIIvCHER,  INSTRUCTORS. 

It  is  the  aim  of  this  department  to  give  a  practical  knowl- 
edge of  art,  and  to  lead  pupils,  through  the  cultivation  of  their 
observing  powers,  to  an  appreciation  and  love  of  the  beautiful  as 
found  in  nature  and  as  expressed  in  the  handiwork  of  man.  As 
form-study  and  drawing  furnish  the  foundation  for  this  course  of 
instruction,  special  attention  is  given  to  that  part  of  the  work. 
No  pupil  will  be  allowed  to  take  painting  who  has  not  had  at  least 
three  terms  of  drawing.  Charcoal  is  the  medium  chosen,  and  all 
drawings  must  be  made  from  the  object.  Pencil  and  pen  and  ink 
may  be  used  in  the  advanced  grades.  Instruction  in  out-of-door 
sketching  will  be  offered  during  the  spring  term  to  those  who 
have  completed  five  terms  in  charcoal  drawing. 

The  course  of  instruction  is  as  follows  :  - 

DRAWING. 

First  Grade — (1)  Outlines  from  geometrical  solids.  (2) 
Shaded  studies  from  geometrical  solids.  (3)  Outlines  and  shaded 
studies  from  still  life.  (4)  Outlines  and  shaded  studies  from 
features. 

Second  Grade — (1)  Outlines  from  elementary  blocked  heads. 
(2)  Detached  features  of  the  face,  hands  and  feet  in  outline.  (3) 
Detached  features  of  the  face,  hands  and  feet  shaded. 

Third  Grade — (1)  Outlines  from  advanced  blocked  heads. 
(2)  Masks  in  outline.  (3)  Masks  shaded.  (4)  Busts  in  outline 
and  shaded  the  size  of  the  orginal. 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY.  89 

Fourth  Grade — (1)  Outline  from  life.  (2)  Shaded  studies 
from  life. 

PAINTING. 

First  Grade. — Still  life  objects,  single  and  in  groups. 
Second  Grade. — Still  life  and  draperies. 

Third  Grade. — (1)  Studies  from  nature.  (2)  Studies  from

STENOGRAPHY,  TYPEWRITING  AND  COMMERCIAL 
BRANCHES. 

MABI.E    K.    BROWN,    B.    PH.,    AND    CHARLES    M.    COPELAND,    IN- 
STRUCTORS. 

Owing  to  a  large  demand  for  this  kind  of  instruction  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  with  efficient  teachers  in  these  branches 
to  take  charge  of  this  work.  For  the  present,  however,  their  de- 
partments form  no  portion  of  the  regular  courses  of  study.  But 
this  department  affords  excellent  opportunities  for  practice  in 
spelling  and  English  composition  in  addition  to  the  purely  tech- 
nical work.  It  ought  not  to  be  necessary  to  urge  upon  young 
people  the  importance  of  proficiencj-  in  these  subjects.  Those 
who  can  neither  spell  nor  write  correctly-  ought  first  of  all  to 
overcome  these  defects  for  upon  their  success  in  this  regard  their 
success  as  bookkeepers  and  stenographers  largety  depends.  Gen- 
erall}'  speaking,  it  requires  about  a  year  for  students  of  average 
ability  and  attainments  to  acquire  the  proficiency  that  will  entitle 
them  to  receive  our  certificate.  Time,  however,  is  not  an  im- 
portant factor;  we  look  to  results  attained.  This  department 
furnishes  an  excellent  opportunity^  for  young  people  to  acquire 
the  elements  of  an  English  education  while  the}"  are  gaining  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  commercial  branches.  Those  who 
have  a  business  career  in  view  can  not  do  better  than  avail  them- 
selves of  it.

PREPARATORY  DEPARTMENT. 

ELI    DUXKLE,    A.    il.,    PRINCIPAL. 

This  department  is  designed  to  prepare  students  for  the  reg- 
ular courses  of  the  college.  Students  are  also  received  who  wish 
to  pursue  elementar)"  studies,  even  though  they  may  have  no  in- 
tention of  entering  upon  one  of  the  higher  courses. 

Candidates  for  admission  to  this  department  must  furnish 
satisfactory-  evidence  of  good  character,  and  must  pass  examina- 
tion in  Geography,  Arithmetic  as  far  as  percentage,  English 
Grammar  as  far  as  syntax,  and  all  studies  of  the  courses  lower 
than  those  which  they  wish  to  pursue.  Much  of  the  instruction 
is  given  by  the  regular  college  professors. 

Persons  who  have  certificates  from  countj'  examiners  in  Ohio 
will  be  admitted  without  examination  in  the  subjects  named  in 
the  certificates.  But  students  who  expect  to  graduate  from  the 
Normal  Department,  must  give  evidence  that  the\'  are  thoroughly 
familiar  with  the  common  school  branches.  Opportunity  is  of- 
fered ever}'  term  for  reviewing  some  or  all  of  these.  Additional 
information  of  interest  to  those  who  contemplate  entering  this 
department  will  be  found  in  other  parts  of  this  catalogue. 

SUMMER  TERM. 

Experience  has  shown  that  a  considerable  number  of  young 
persons  desire  to  profit  by  such  opportunities  for  instruction  as 
can  be  offered  during  the  months  of  Juh*  and  August.  Accord- 
ingly, a  summer  term  will  begin  Juh'  1,  1895,  and  continue 
six  weeks.  For  this  term  the  tuition  will  be  six  dollars, 
or  for  less  than  the  entire  term,  one  dollar  per  week.  Most 
of  the  classes  in  the  Preparatory  Department,  but  especially  those 
in  the  common  branches,  will  be  organized  during  this  term  and 
will  receive  the  same  attention  as  during  the  rest  of  the  year. 
Those  students  who  have  done  advanced  work  or  propose  to  do 
so,  but  who  feel  the  need  of  reviewing  the  elementan,-  branches 
will  do  well  to  avail  themselves  of  this  opportunity'.  Students 
who  desire  to  pursue  advanced  subjects  during  this  term  will  be 
accommodated  as  far  as  possible ;  and  will  receive  credit  for  them 
in  the  same  manner  as  if  taken  at  an}'  other  time  of  the  j'ear.

ERRATA. 


The  following  errata  have  been  pointed  out  to  us  in  the  last 
General  Catalogue:  The  figures  1836  should  be  inserted  be- 
tween the  names  of  William  McElhen}^  and  Edgar  T.  Brown  on 
page  82.  The  name  of  Francis  L.  Hemry  was  omitted  from  the 
class  of  1876,  and  that  of  A.  H.  Gunnett  from  its  place  in  the 
alphabetical  list  on  page  105. 


preface* 


The  aim  and  purpose  of  the  founders  of  the  Ohio  University 
was  the  establishment  of  an  institution  that  should  provide  for 
the  youth  of  the  country  the  means  of  obtaining  a  liberal  educa- 
tion. To  this  end  the  work  it  has  done  in  the  ninety  years  of  its 
existence  has  been  steadily  directed.  And  it  is  not  too  much  to 
say  that  it  has  been  eminently  successful  so  far  as  its  means  have 
permitted.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  establish  purely  tech- 
nical or  professional  courses.  On  the  other  hand,  the  physical  and 
biological  sciences  and  the  modern  literatures  have  gained  recogni- 
tion as  well  as  an  honorable  place  in  its  courses  of  study  as  rapidly 
as  their  growing  importance  has  made  it  advisable.  Within  the 
last  several  years  the  teaching  profession  has  obtained  a  con- 
spicuous place  in  its  curricula  and  has  to  a  greater  or  less  extent 
modified  them  all.  It  is  one  of  the  very  few  colleges  in  the 
country  that  gives  prominence  to  the  fact  that  the  knowledge  of 
the  prospective  teacher  should  not  be  less  than  that  which  is  in- 
tended as  a  preparation  for  any  other  profession,  while  at  the 
same  time  it  imperatively  demands  the  introduction  of  some  sub- 
jects peculiar  to  itself.  Purely  technical  studies  have  been  but 
sparingly  admitted,  and  these  chiefly  in  the  Preparatory  Depart- 
ment. The  collegiate  courses  in  their  earlier  portion  do  not  differ 
materially  from  each  other  or  from  those  that  have  formed  the 
basis  of  a  liberal  education  during  the  last  four  centuries;  but  it 
has  been  /ound  possible  and  deemed  advisable  to  make  a  place 
for  the  newest  subjects  in  the  form  of  electives  in  the  later  por- 
tions in  order  to  satisfy  all  the  demands  of  those  who  have  in 
view  any  of  the  learned  professions.  It  is  therefore  confidently 
believed  that  within  the  limits  it  has  set  for  itself,  the  Ohio 
University  provides  the  means  of  gaining  a  liberal  education  as 
thorough  as  any  institution  in  the  country.

pieliminar?  IRemarks* 


The  last  General  Catalogue  of  the  Universit}-  was  printed  in 
1885.  As  the  edition  was  large  a  considerable  number  of  copies 
have  not  j^et  been  distributed.  It  seemed  unnecessarj-  therefore, 
to  repeat  the  historical  information  therein  contained,  and  it  is 
proposed  in  the  present  volume  to  give  onh'  the  more  important 
events  connected  with  the  University  occurring  during  the  last 
ten  3'ears.  This  plan  is  the  more  justifiable  as  it  is  expected  that 
a  full  history  of  the  University  from  its  inception,  including  much 
matter  not  5'et  printed,  will  be  published  about  the  close  of  the 
present  centur3\  But  it  will  be  proper  to  state  here  what  a  com- 
parison of  this  catalogue  with  its  predecessor  of  ten  3'ears  ago 
will  demonstrate,  that  these  years  have  been  characterized  b}^  a 
remarkable  growth  and  expansion  of  the  University.  This  has 
been  made  possible  by  the  more  liberal  policy-  of  the  State  in  pro- 
viding funds  for  its  support.  In  certain  directions  it  has  been 
able  to  keep  pace  with  the  educational  needs  of  the  times,  and 
it  is  entireh'  safe  to  say  that  for  man}-  kinds  of  undergraduate 
work  its  equipment  is  not  surpassed  b}'  that  of  am^  institution 
in  the  state,  and  equalled  b}'  few.  While  its  friends  can  never 
hope  to  make  it  a  university  in  the  full  sense  of  the  term,  it  is 
reasonable  to  expect  that  it  will  be  able  to  maintain  university 
rank  in  a  few  departments. 

In  the  course  of  the  decade  ending  with  '95,  more  than  one 
hundred  persons  have  received  diplomas  in  evidence  of  having 
completed  one  of  the  regular  college  courses.  To  equal  this  rec- 
ord requires  almost  the  two  preceding  decades.  While  numbers 
do  not  themselves  indicate  real  growth,  it  is  safe  to  saj-  that  the 
amount  of  work  represented  b}'  the  later  degrees  is  much  in 
advance  of  that  represented  by  the  former.  This  statement  may 
be  made  while  freelj-  admitting  that  a  degree  stands  for  a  mini-

mum  of  work  done,  and  not  a  maximum,  and  that  there  have 
always  been  students  whose  attainments  at  graduation  were  more 
or  less  in  excess  of  a  fixed  standard. 

During  the  last  several  years  more  than  fifty  students  have 
received  certificates  showing  that  the}'  have  completed  the 
shorter  pedagogical  course,  or  one  of  the  other  courses  in  the 
Preparatory  Department.  In  view  of  the  competition  among 
schools  of  all  grades  and  the  general  increase  of  their  resources, 
to  say  nothing  of  new  institutions  and  added  courses  in  the 
older  ones,  the  friends  of  the  Ohio  Universit}'  have  no  reason 
to  be  ashamed  of  the  record  it  has  made.  And  this  may  be 
said  both  with  reference  to  the  work  of  its  students  while  in 
college  or  their  achievements  in  the  sphere  of  practical   life. 

It  is  also  proper  to  sa}*  that  during  the  past  several  5-ears 
there  have  always  been  a  few  students  in  attendance  who  were 
doing  post-graduate  work. 

The  alumni  record  is  unfortunately  less  complete  than  we 
tried  to  make  it.  Though  but  a  few  5'ears  have  elapsed  since 
a  considerable  number  of  them  have  graduated,  we  could  not 
ascertain  definitely  the  location  of  several,  and,  of  course,  anj^ 
further  information  was  out  of  the  question.  It  is  known,  how- 
ever, that  some  of  the  smallest  classes  are  already-  scattered  far 
and  wide.  In  some  cases  the  postofiice  address  is  given  from 
the  best  evidence  attainable.  The  necrology"  is  believed  to  be 
fairly  complete,  though  in  a  number  of  cases  definite  dates  are 
lacking.  It  is  not  deemed  advisable  to  wait  longer  before  go- 
ing to  press.  We  have  done  the  best  we  could  to  attain  com- 
pleteness and  regret  an}^  omissions  that  may  have  occurred.
