A BRIEF HISTORY OF HOWARD COLLEGE.
By Rev. John R. Sampey, D.D., LL.D.,
Professor in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
In August, 1833, the Alabama Baptist State Convention,
at a thinly attended meeting, resolved to found a school for
the education of young ministers. It M^as deemed best to com-
bine manual laboi with mental cultivation. In 1834 a farm of
three hundred and fifty-five acres, within a mile of Greens-
boro, was purchased for $6,390, payment to be made in three
annual installments. At a meeting of the State Convention in
1835 the agents reported that $12,000 had been subscribed for
the Manual Labor School. The Trustees of the institution
announced to the Convention of 1836 the attendance of fifty
students. By formal resolution the Convention declared that
the chief aim in founding the school was "the improvement of
the ministry of our denomination." The financial panic of 1837,
together with internal disorder and dissensions in the Manual
Labor School, so discouraged the State Convention that at an
adjourned session in December, 1837, it ordered the sale of
the property to meet an indebtedness of $7,000. The balance
of $2,000 was appropriated to ministerial education.
In Rev. Thomas Chilton's admirable Report on Educa-
tion, presented to the Alabama Baptist State Convention in
1849, may be found a brief history of the founding and early
life of the Howard. We quote the first two paragraphs : " The
incipient steps towards establishing Howard College were taken
by the Alabama Baptist State Convention, at its regular annual
meeting in Talladega, in November, 1841. At that time it was
resolved to establish a college of a high character ; a plan for
its endowment was proposed ; an agent was appointed ; Marion,
HOWARD COLLEGE. /
Perry County, was selected as the location ; a Board of thirteen
Trustees was appointed to control said institution, to whom all
subscriptions were to be made payable, and by whom, when
they should become a corporate body, all property of the
institution should be held."
In January, 1842, the school was opened, with Prof. S. S.
Sherman, a graduate of Bowdoin College, and more recently
a tutor in Tuskaloosa, as President and sole teacher. Nine
small boys, meeting in a modest wooden building, formed the
original student body over which the accomplished and wise
young master presided. The number of students rose to thirty-
one before June, 1842.
The Board of Trustees announced to the State Convention
in 1842 that a charter for Howard College had been obtained,
and proposed a plan for endowing a Professorship of Theology
with $20,000. The Convention approved the plan, and two
years later the entire amount had been subscribed. During the
session of 1842-3 Mr. Sherman was re-enforced by Prof. S
Lindsey and an assistant. Profs. A. A Connella and Jesse
Hartwell were added to the Faculty during the session of
1843-4.
In 1844, just as Rev. J. H. DeVotie was commencing a
campaign for the further endowment of the Howard, the
college building was destroyed by fire. Through the earnest
efforts of the students, aided by the citizens, the library and
the physical and astronomical apparatus were saved. New
grounds were purchased for $1,500, and a better building,
erected at a cost of $11,500, was ready for occupancy in 1846.
During the earlier years of its history Howard was not
strictly a college, but only a preparatory school, advancing
students through the Sophomore year. During the session of
1846-7 a Junior class was formed, and on the 27th of July,
1848, four young men were graduated with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts, and three with that of Bachelor of Science.
During the session of 1847-8 there were only two theo-
logical students in the Howard. At the close of the session
Dr. Jesse Hartwell resigned as Professor of Theology, and
Rev. T. F. Curtis, of Tuskaloosa, was elected to the chair.
8 HOWARD COLLEGE.
During the session of 1848-9 there were six ministerial stu-
dents in the College, an increase which the Board noted with
much satisfaction, and the total enrollment rose to one hun-
dred and forty-five,- There were now six regular instructors,
besides a pupil who assisted in the teaching. President Sher-
man was building wisely, and the Baptist people were justly
proud of their twin schools at Marion.
On the first of January, 1852, Professor Curtis, who had
previously notified the Board of his purpose to resign, was suc-
ceeded by Rev. Henry Talbird, of Montgomery. Before the
close of the session of 185 1-2, Professor Sherman, who had
presided over the fortunes of the College from its foundation,
informed the Trustees of his intention to sever his connection
with the school at the end of the session. Noah K. Davis, a
gifted scholar and teacher, took Professor Sherman's chair of
Natural Sciences, and Dr. Talbird was chosen as President, a
position which he filled with great acceptance until the war
interrupted the work of the College. Dr. Talbird then donned
the uniform of a Confederate soldier and went to the front.
During the session of 1852-3 the total enrollment of the
students was one hundred and forty-eight, of whom fourteen
were in the Theological Department.
On the night of October 15th, 1854, the college building
was burned to the ground. Only one student lost his life
through the fire, but two professors and about ten students
were more or less seriously injured, most of them from having
to jump to the ground from the upper floors.
The apparatus, cabinets and libraries in the building were
a total loss. Howard College was left with a building lot, old
notes on endowment estimated at $40,000. and new subscrip-
tions, obtained in the summer of 1854 by Rev. Z. G. Hender-
son, amounting to something over $10,000. In this season of
calamity the friends of the Howard rallied to its support.
Marion led in the good work. Dr. J. T. Barron, a member
of the first graduating class of the College, gave a better lot
for the new buildings, and the citizens of Marion subscribed
liberally for the erection of these buildings. Rev. J. H.
DeVotie accepted the position of financial agent for the Col-
HOWARD COLLEGE. 9
lege, and within a year had raised $40,000 for new buildings
and additional endowment. Prof. Noah K. Davis drew the
plans for the three new buildings, which when completed,
became the home of Howard College until its removal to East
Lake in 1887.
In 1856 Rev. Washington Wilkes, one of the first grad-
uates of the College, succeeded Rev. J, H DeVotie as finan-
cial agent. Early in 1857 the Board of Trustees reported that
the total endowment fund of Howard was $95,528.21. The
chapel and one of the dormitory buildings were then ready for
occupancy. During 1857 Rev. Z. G. Henderson added to the
permanent funds of the College $48,000. In the report for
1857, the Board for the first time mentioned the name of
Mr. Jere H. Brown, of Sumter County, who did so much for
the Howard within the next three years. They tell us that
Mr. Brown had promised to support six theological students.
Within two years the number of ministerial students rose from
seven to twenty-one, of whom Mr. Brown was supporting
twelve. Rev. W. S. Barton, the financial secretary for 1858,
reported to the Board $47,000 in conditional subscriptions. It
was agreed that none of these subscriptions would be binding
unless $100,000 should be raised. During the session of 1858-9
there were twenty-four students for the ministry in Howard.
Howard College has had only one Jere H Brown. Blessings
on his memory !
Early in the Civil War President Talbird became Colonel
of the Forty-first Alabama Regiment. The attendance of stu-
dents fell ofif until only two professors were retained in the
College — A. B. Goodhue and D. G. Sherman. In 1862 Gen-
eral E. D. King, of Marion, died. Dr. B, F. Riley does not
overstate the value of his services when he says : "It is not
too much to say that the denomination of the State is more
indebted to General E. D. King for the successful establishment
and maintenance of its two schools than to any other."
In May, 1863, the Confederate authorities made applica-
tion for the use of the Howard buildings for hospital purposes.
The request was granted, and the exercises of the College were
suspended until after the war. In 1865 the Federal soldiers
10 HOWARD COLLEGE.
occupied the buildings as a hospital. Against the earnest and
repeated protest of the Trustees, one of the dormitories was
appropriated to the use of the freed negroes. As was foreseen,
this resulted in serious damage to the building. The property
of the College was held under libel for confiscation by the
United States Marshal, but was subsequently released.
In the fall of 1865 the College was opened for students,
with a Faculty consisting of Profs. A. B Goodhue, E. Q.
Thornton, and Tutor D. P. Goodhue. Dr. Talbird decHned to
accept the office of President. Shortly after the meeting of
the State Convention in November, 1865, Dr. J, L. M. Curry
yielded to the entreaty of the Board, and became President
of the Howard until the close of the session of 1867-8. He
labored against untold difficulties arising from the impover-
ished condition of the people of Alabama. The crops of 1866
were almost a failure, so that he could do little to provide
funds for the institution. In the face of the financial depres-
sion, the ladies of Marion spent nearly $600 for repairs and
improvements upon the buildings and grounds.
During the first three sessions after the war the attend-
ance of students in the Howard was small. In 1867-8 there
were only fifty names on the roll.
After Dr. Curry's resignation, Professor Thornton was
made the administrative head of the school. His brief admin-
istration of one year was eminently successful in increasing the
attendance, one hundred and fifteen names appearing on the
roll. At the close of the session he gave up the presidency,
retaining, however, his chair in the College. Rev. Samuel R.
Freeman, who was graduated from the Howard in 1855, was
elected President of the College in 1869. He met the highest
expectation of his friends during the two years he held the
place. The attendance rose in 1869-70 to one hundred and
eighty-four. There was a considerable falling oflf the following
year.
In the catalogue for 1869-70 appeared for the first time
the name of Thomas J. Dill as Professor of Greek and Latin
Literature. For more than a quarter of a century this great
HOWARD COLI.EGE. II
teacher gave to Howard College service of the first order.
Hundreds of young men in a score of States revere his memory.
When Dr. Freeman gave up the presidency in 1871, retain-
ing for a short time the position of Professor of Theolog}', the
Trustees called Colonel J. T. Murfee, who was already known
to the people of Alabama as an excellent organizer, disciplina-
rian and instructor, to become President of Howard College.
For sixteen years he filled the office with great ability, and it
was the wish of the alumni and other friends of the College
that he should preside over its fortunes as long as his strength
would allow. He resigned in 1887, when the Convention
decided to remove the Howard from Marion to East Lake.
The first serious effort to endow Howard College after the
war had its origin in connection with the Centennial of Ameri-
can Independence. The subject of endowment came before the
Alabama Baptist State Convention in 1875 and it was agreed
that the Centennial among Alabama Baptists should be cele-
brated by raising an endowment for Howard College. It was
suggested that it was practical to secure as much as one dollar
from every Baptist in the State. A Central Centennial Com-
mittee consisting of one member from each district association
in the State, was appointed, and Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, D.D.,
was chosen as general agent to superintend the movement. He
went over the State making speeches in the interest of the Col-
lege, and did much to advertise the school among the Baptists
everywhere, but the plan was foredoomed to failure, as far
as financial results were concerned. Wealthy Baptists were
prompt to come forward with one dollar each, when they ought
to have put hundreds and thousands into the endowment. The
agent gave a year of self-sacrificing toil to the cause of educa-
tion, and those who are familiar with the situation before and
after 1876 think the year bore good fruit in many directions.
But Howard had no endowment at the close of the Centennial
campaign.
From 1876 to 1878 W. D. Fonville was Professor of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. During the sessions of
1877-9 J- M. Dill taught Chemistry and Natural History. In

the fall of 1876 Lewis T. Gwathmey came to teach Mathe-
matics and Modern Languages. He was a teacher of the first
rank and a Christian gentleman of exalted ideals. He was
stricken with a fatal attack of fever in the summer of 1881.
Colonel W. R. Boggs served as Professor of Chemistry, etc.,
from 1879 to 1 88 1. Colonel A. F. Redd succeeded Professor
Boggs in 1881, and Prof. A. D. Smith took the place of the
lamented Gwathmey. The Faculty for the last six years at
Marion consisted of J. T. Murfee, Thomas J. Dill, A. F. Reed
and A. D. Smith, together with a teacher of the Preparatory
Department.
The attendance of students in 187 1-2 was one hundred
and thirty-five. It fell to eighty-eight in 1879-80. The aver-
age attendance for the last sixteen years at Marion was one
hundred and twelve.
In 1884 Howard College was sold, the property being
bought in by certain friends of the school. This step was
taken in order to settle forever the question of free tuition for
persons holding ante-bellum certificates of scholarship.
The State Convention in Birmingham in 1886 tendered
its thanks to Captain J. B. Lovelace and Dr W. W. Wilkerson
for their wisdom and generosity in securing the title to the
College property and dedicating it to the Convention. Now
that the Convention had a title to Howard College, unincum-
bered, it was deemed wise to proceed at once to raise an ade-
quate endowment. Pledges amounting to $6,600 were made
by the members of the Convention in a few minutes, and the
enthusiasm ran high. This was on Saturday afternoon, July
17th, 1886. On the following Monday night Dr. E. B. Teague
introduced a resolution looking to the removal of Howard Col-
lege to the neighborhood of Birmingham. After much earnest
discussion on Tuesday morning the resolution inviting bids
from land companies for the removal of the College was
adopted. A committee of five was appointed to receive bids
and report back to the next meeting of the Convention. Dr.
G. A. Nunnally, appointed financial agent, raised in cash
$2,172.97 and in subscriptions for permanent endowment about
$14,000. Partly owing to the discussion of removal, the attend-
HOWARD COLLEGE. 1 3
ance at Howard fell off a little ckiring the session of 1886-7,
and there was a deficit of $1,632.29 for the year.
At the State Convention in Union Springs in July, 1887,
there was a spirited debate over the question of removing the
Howard from Marion. Several bids were reported from land
companies. It was finally decided that the College should be
removed, and a prudential committee of thirteen was appointed
to examine the various bids, with power to accept the bid which
promised most for the future of the College. The subscription
of the East Lake Company and others cooperating with them
amounted to an estimated total of $170,075, most of which con-
sisted of donations of land at the inflated prices then prevailing
in and around Birmingham. This bid was ultimately accepted
by the prudential committee, and the College opened at East
Lake in October, 1887.
Meantime the boom at Birmingham had collapsed, and
men found it difficult to redeem their pledges in money. More-
over, but little had actually been subscribed apart from dona-
tions of land. It was with great difficulty that $8,000 could
be got together to erect two temporary wooden buildings for
the school by October ist.
Professors Dill, Smith and Giles came with the books and
fixtures to East Lake, and Professors Macon and Waldrop
were added to the Faculty. Prof. Robert Frazer, LL.D., hav-
ing declined the presidency, Dr. T. J. Dill was elected Chair-
man of the Faculty for the session of 1887-8. He discharged
the duties of the office in a most creditable manner.
Prof. J. L. Johnson, LL.D., of the University of Missis-
sippi, was elected by the Board in 1888 as President of the
Howard, but he declined the call. Late in the summer of 1888
the position was tendered to Rev. B. F. Riley, who accepted,
and at once went to work to secure students for the approach-
ing session. The presence of yellow fever in the State greatly
hindered the new President, so that the enrollment for the
year was only one hundred and forty-three. Dr. Riley main-
tained a close supervision over the student body. He soon
became known as a rigid disciplinarian and diligent canvassing
agent. Early in 1889 Rev. D. I. Purser succeeded Dr. Shaffer

as financial agent, and secured about $32,000 in notes for the
erection of a permanent building. During the summer of 1889
Mrs. Tartt, of Livingston, Mrs. Ethridge, of Avondale, and
other ladies furnished new beds and bedding for the Howard
dormitory. Dr. Riley and two of his colleagues went all over
Alabama during the vacation, canvassing for students, and they
had their reward in the increased attendance.
At Selma, in November, 1889, the Baptists of the entire
State rallied nobly to the support of their College, pledging
$14,415.51 for the new buildings. The Convention of 1889
was remarkable for the restoration of harmony in the ranks of
the denomination. The number of students during the session
of 1889-90 was one hundred and seventy, and during the fol-
lowing session it rose to two hundred and six, a larger number
than had ever before been matriculated at the Howard. The
main building was completed in the spring of 1891.
In June, 1892, Howard College celebrated its semi-cen-
tennial, when addresses were delivered by Rev. J. B. Haw-
thorne, D.D., General George D. Johnston. Prof. D. G. Lyon
and others. In the summer of 1893 Dr Riley accepted a pro-
fessorship in the University of Georgia. Rev. A. W. McGaha,
an alumnus of the Howard, was chosen as President of the
College. Dr. McGaha found the College deeply in debt, owing
to the failure of many subscribers to meet their notes to the
building fund.
During the session of 1893-4 one hundred and fifty-two
students were enrolled, nineteen of whom were graduated in
June, 1894. The College grounds were improved in appear-
ance by the voluntary work of the students, who dug up trees
and stumps, and made and graded walks through the campus.
A gracious revival of religion swept through the College, under
the preaching of Rev. L. O. Dawson and Rev. J. H. Foster,
all the students in the barracks except one being converted.
In the summer of 1895 Prof. G. W Macon accepted a call
to Mercer University. Mr. S. J. Ansley was selected to assist
Professor Dill in Latin and Greek. In June, 1896, Dr. McGaha
declined re-election as President, and Prof. A. D. Smith was
made Chairman of the Faculty for the year 1896-7. Drs. B. D.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 15
Gray and P. T. Hale and Rev. W. A. Hobson took the field in
the interest of the Howard, and soon raised in cash $8,000.
But the debt of the College, allowing liberally for certain assets,
was not $26,000.
Prof. A. D. Smith resigned his chair in Howard at the
close of the session of 1896-7. Prof. F M. Roof was made
Chairman of the Faculty, and Edwin H. Foster was elected
Professor of English. Edgar P. Hogan, a recent alumnus of
the Howard, was chosen Professor of Natural Sciences, and
he is now Chairman of the Faculty, and Commandant. In 1898
Prof. Edward Brand, a graduate of the University of Kentucky,
was added to the Faculty.
A committee, appointed by the State Convention in Decem-
ber, 1897, to ascertain the value of the land and buildings,
reported that the buildings and fixtures were worth about
$30,000, and all the lands, originally put at over $100,000,
were now worth about $8,105.20. If a purchaser could have
been found for the college property in 1897, the institution
would not have been able to meet its indebtedness with the
proceeds of the sale.
The Faculty of Howard College now came to the rescue
and were successful in their management of affairs. The State
Convention at Opelika in 1898 decided to come to the relief
of the brave Faculty. Through the labors of a committee, con-
sisting of B. D. Gray, A. C. Davidson, F. M. Roof and D. L.
Lewis, the entire debt of Howard College was paid in full on
the 14th day of July, 1899. D. L. Lewis, of Sycamore, Ala-
bama, led all the givers, though others gave liberally. He also
aided his colleagues of the committee in securing large con-
tributions from men of means. It began to look as if the spirit
of Jere H. Brown had come back to earth again.
Meantime President Roof and the Faculty conducted the
discipHne and instruction with great faithfulness and good suc-
cess. In June, 1902, President Roof voluntarily retired from
the presidency, after five years of good work. Rev. L. O.
Dawson was elected President later on in the same month, but
declined the office. At the State Convention in New Decatur,
June, 1902, steps were taken to improve the charter of the
l6 HOWARD COLLEGE.
College, and nearly $2,000 were subscribed towards paying the
salary of the incoming President.
In 1 90 1 Allen J. Moon, a graduate of Howard College and
some time a student in the University of Virginia, was chosen
Professor of Greek and Latin. In 1902 G. W. Cunningham,
an alumnus of Furman University, was put in charge of Eng-
lish and Philosophy, and the next year John C. Dawson, who
graduated from Georgetown College, was elected to the chair
of Modern Languages. The year before M. B. Garrett, an
A.M. of Howard College, was added to the teaching corps.
Since the fall of 1902 A. P. Montague, LL.D., has pre-
sided over the fortunes of the Howard. The Trustees counted
themselves happy to be able to secure the services of a trained
and experienced educator, who had demonstrated in other
States his ability to cope with difficult situations. Since Dr.
Montague's connection with the Howard the grounds have
been much improved in appearance, a substantial stone wall
has been placed in front of the campus, additions have been
made to the Faculty, the roll of students has been increased
from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and seventy-five,
Renfroe Hall, a commodious brick dormitory, has been erected
and furnished at a cost of $18,000, and the Baptists of the
State have contributed nearly $3,000 a year to current expenses.
President Montague threw himself into the work of canvass-
ing for students and raising money with such unremitting zeal
that he seemed at one time about to break down his health.
The friends of the College rejoice in his recovery, and stand
ready to follow his leadership in promoting the interests of
the Howard.
ORGANIZATION.
The College is composed of eight academic schools or
departments, as follows :
I. School of Latin Language and Literature.
IL School of Greek Language and Literature.
IIL School of English and Elocution.
IV. School of Modern Languages.
V. School of Mathematics.
VL School of Natural Sciences.
VIL School of Mental and Moral Sciences.
VIIL Biblo Study.
Instruction is also given in History.
In every department correct English is a requirement.
The student is graded according to his knowledge of English
syntax, orthography, punctuation and pronunciation.
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.
I.— School of the Latin Language and Literature.
Professor Moon,
Professor Dazvson^
Professor Garrett,
Mr. Stakely.
The purpose of the instructors in this department is to give
the student thorough knowledge of the inflections and exten-
sive famiharity with the vocabulary of the language, systematic
training in the principles of syntax, and some acquaintance with
the history and criticism of Latin literature and with the public
and private life of the Romans ; but greater emphasis is
placed on the study of the language, so as to lay a broad and
solid foundation for more advanced work. The method is
intensive rather than extensive.
Five courses in Latin are offered.
COURSE I.— For Beginners.— Thorough drill in pro-
nunciation, inflections, vocabulary, and the general principles
of syntax ; translation of Latin into English and English into
Latin, in the form of graded exercises ; the reading of easy
Latin prose. Five periods a zveek.
Students who desire to take this course must show a fair
knowledge of English grammar.
COURSE IL— Freshman.— The reading of (i) selec-
tions from Caesar's Gallic War, (2) Cicero's Orations against
Catiline, (3) Vergil's yEneid ; careful and persistent study of
forms, constructions, and idioms ; oral and written exercises
in Latin prose composition, and practice in reading at sight.
Five periods a iveek.
The requirement for admission into this class is such

hensive and inspiring view of grammar, dealing especially with
the nature and structure of the sentence. This is followed by
a study of the first principles of practical composition and a
reading of some classics. This course presupposes a thorough
acquaintance with grammar.
Texts. — The English Sentence, Kimball; Composition and Rhet-
oric, Lockwood and Emerson; Classics.
COURSE II. — Sophomore. — Five hours a week, -first
term. This course is devoted exclusively to a study of prac-
tical composition. Emphasis is placed upon originality and
neatness in work and accuracy in expression. Themes are
written frequently by students and submitted for correction.

COURSE III. — Sophomore. — Five hours a week, second
term. This work attempts a view of the field of American
literature, its historical as well as literary aspect being taken
into consideration. Frequent themes, based upon a study of
representative masterpieces of American authors, are required.
Texts. — History of American Literature, Bronson ; Masterpieces
of American Literature.
COURSE IV. — Junior. — Three hours a zveck, entire
year. The purpose of this course is to gain a comprehensive
view of English literature. The literary history of England
from Chaucer through the age of Victoria is carefully fol-
lowed ; and this study is supplemented by a first-hand investi-
gation of authors representative of the different periods. Fre-
quent lectures by Dr. Montague present the vital obligations
of English literature to the literature of Greece and Rome.
Texts. — History of English Literature, Halleck ; Classics.
COURSE V. — Senior. — Three hours a week, entire year.
In this course the interpretative powers of the student are
tried by a critical study of prose and poetry, and a sympa-
thetic appreciation of literature is cultivated. The first term
is devoted to a brief study of the theory of style, followed
by an investigation of selections from the works of English

and American prose writers, such as De Quincey, Burke,
Arnold, Hawthorne, and Lowell. The latter part of the course
deals with definite periods of English literature, the study of
each period being based upon the works of its representative
poet. This year's class has studied Shakespeare, Milton, and
Wordsworth.
Texts. — Philosophy of Style, Spencer ; Principles of Success in
Literature, Lewes; Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis, Genung; Classics.
For reference : Practical Elements of Rhetoric, Genung.

School of Mental and Moral Sciences.
Professor Cunningham.
This department embraces regular text-book and lecture
courses covering the Junior and Senior years. It aims to give
the student a scientific knowledge of the powers and faculties
of his mind ; to aid him in clear, logical thinking ; to show him
the nature of the process of thought ; to acquaint him with the
theory of human character and conduct.
COURSE I. — Two hours a zveek, first term. This course
endeavors to give a scientific knowledge of mind, its elemental
processes, the combination of these processes into ideas, and
the significance of ideas and complexes of ideas in mental
experience.
Text. — Outlines of Psychology, Titchener.
COURSE n. — Two hours a zveek, second term. In this
course the function of mind is studied. The process of thought

in both its deductive and inductive aspects is considered, and
its laws and organic nature are emphasized.
Text. — An Introductory Logic. Creighton.
COURSE III. — Three hours a week, three months. This
work presents to the student the theory of wealth, and the laws
that govern man in his efforts to attain it.
Text. — Political Economy, Walker.
COURSE IV. — Three hours a week, six months. The
first part of this work is devoted to a study of the history of
ethics, the attitudes of the greatest thinkers from Socrates to
Kant being noticed. This is followed by a study of the theory
of morals as such, in which study the obligations of man as a
moral agent are set forth.
Texts. — History of Ethics, Sidgwick; Manual of Ethics, Mackenzie.
Old Testament History.
Rev. J. A. Hendricks, A.M.
The aim in this work has been to familiarize the student
with the general make-up and contents of the Old Bible. To
do this the historical setting and bearing of each book have
been emphasized, while we keep in mind the progressive deal-
ings of God with his people, (i) with the race in general, (2)
with his chosen family, and (3) with his people as a nation.
In this development the great periods have received notice ;
and then the leaders in each period have been studied rather
closely, with suitable emphasis given to the great doctrines that
have been suggested by their teachings or deeds. The histo-
rical places of the great prophets have been pointed out to the
class and their teachings studied in that light — as only in this
way can we appreciate the great prophets of Israel, and have
an intelligent view of their work. Doubtless this work will be
raised to increasing efficiency and grow in popularity with both
the students and the denomination.

V. — School of Mathematics.
Professor Brand.
This school offers a course in mathematics extending
through the four years of collegiate study. A thorough
knowledge of arithmetic and elementary algebra is required
for admission into the freshman class.
Throughout the entire course reasoning rather than mem-
orizing isi insisted upon. Numerous original problems and
exercises are given to test accuracy and to encourage self-
confidence on the part of students.
28 HOWARD COLLEGE.
The freshman and sophomore years include only pure
mathematics. The Juniors continue the same line of work,
with the addition of Plane Surveying, Plane Analytic Geom-
etry, and such applications of mathematics as may seem bene-
ficial to the particular class.
The senior year, consisting largely of applied mathematics,
is required of none but students of Engineering. This vicinity
offers rare opportunities to students of Engineering. Begin-
ning with the second term of the junior year, occasional outings
will be made to the various railroads, mines, furnaces, foun-
dries, factories, power-houses, etc., in and around Birmingham.

chemistry is taught by means of texts, experiments, lectures,
and individual laboratory work. The latest and very best texts
are used, and experiments are performed before the class by
the professor. The fundamental principles of the science are
studied, and each element and its various compounds are given
HOWARD COLLEGE 3I
the time that their importance justifies. The students are
required to do individual laboratory work under the super-
vision of the instructor. They are required to make the prep-
arations, perform the experiments, write the reactions, and
make the tests. They thus become familiar with the chemicals,
apparatus, chemical nomenclature, and reactions. The students
make a large number of tests for each element in its various
compounds.
Laboratory work ten hours per zveek.
Text. — Remsen's College Chemistry, supplemented by laboratory
notes.
Reference Books. — Witthaus, Simon, and Hartley.
First Year. — Qualitative Analysis. — Students, having-
finished the course in general inorganic chemistry, are well
prepared to do thorough work in qualitative analysis. This
work is required during the second term of first year in the
study of chemistry. Preliminary Vvork is given in tests for the
different groups of acids and salts, after which each group of
elements is taken up, the individual student being required,
under the supervision of the instructor, to work out his scheme
for the same. After the class becomes familiar with the
analysis of the different groups, unknown solutions containing
elements in one or all of the groups are given to the student
for analysis. They are required to make and to become familiar
with the flame, bead, and dry tests.
Laboratory work ten to tzvehe hours per week.
Texts. — McGregory and Fresenius.
Course II.
First Term oe Second Year. — Laboratory work in gen-
eral inorganic chemistry, and advanced work in qualitative
analysis. This work is required of the young men who are
applicants for the B.S. degree. They are required to go into
the work of the subject more thoroughly than the applicants
for the A.B. degree. They are required to prepare and make
experiments with all of the most common elements. They
prepare acids, bases, and salts, making tests and performing
32 HOWARD COLLEGE.
experiments with them. The class is also required to analyze
a large number of unknown solutions and to test compounds
that are given to them. This is done under the direction of
the instructor.
Laboratory work ten to twelve hours per week.
Texts. — Remsen's Advanced Course, and Fresenius.
Second Term oe Second Year. — This division of chem-
istry is taught during the second term of the second year m
chemistry. The general and fundamental principles of organic
chemistry receive careful attention. Many of the compounds
of the various divisions and classes of organic compounds are
studied. Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Organic Acids,
Ethers, Compounded Ethers, Carbohydrates, Amines and
Amids, Cyanogen compounds, Proteids, and Alkaloids are
among the classes of compounds that receive special attention.
Laboratory ten hours per week.
Text. — Remsen's Organic Chemistry.
Reference Books. — Witthaus, Simon, and Hartley.
BIOLOGY.
Course I.
Physiology. — An elementary course is given during i;he
first term of the freshman year. Any pupil may take this. The
tissue, organs, special senses, systems and their functions are
studied. The organs are examined and histological structures
observed by the use of the microscope. Knowledge that all
should have concerning the human organism and its functions
is given in this course.
Zoology. — This subject is studied by the freshman and
sophomore classes. Charts, prepared microscopical slides,
specimens alive and preserved, are examined by each student.
The members of the class are required to procure live speci-
mens for examination and experimentation in the laboratory.
Text. — Colton's, Descriptive and Practical.
Botany. — The freshman and sophomore classes study this
subject during the spring term. Specimens are procured for
study, and microscopical examinations are made in the labo-
HOWARD COLI.EGE. 33
ratory. A great deal of outdoor and laboratory work is done
by the pupils.
Course III.
PhysioIvOGy, Senior. — This course is intended for Seniors,
and is advanced work in this department. Cells, tissues, organs,
systems, and their functions are studied. The anatomical and
histological structures are taken up. The secretions and excre-
tions are studied. The special sense organs, digestion, circu-
lation, and respiration, are given close study and investigation.
The brain and spinal cord of the cerebro-spinal system, the
sympathetic system, and the nerve supply of the different
organs are given special attention. Many experiments are
performed on the frog and such other of the lower animals as
may be required.
The class has the privilege of visiting the dissecting room
of the Birmingham Medical College, and can see and hear the
demonstrations on the cadaver.
Special lectures are given on Biology, including Embry-
ology, and Physiological Chemistry.
Text. — Kirke's, English and American editions.
GEOLOGY AND BIOLOGY.
Course II.
Sophomore Year. — It is not our purpose to make special
geologists, but realizing the vast importance of this subject, we
give a very thorough course in it, taking up the great divisions
of the subject, and requiring the pupils to acquire the knowl-
edge of each, and also of the subject of geology as a whole.
Dynamic and Structural Geology is studied during the first
term of the sophomore year. Historical Geology is studied
during the second term. The eras, ages, periods, and epochs
are carefully studied. Zoology and Botany, the study of which
was begun in the Freshman class, are again taken up in con-
nection with the fauna and flora of the historical geology. It
is found that these subjects taken up in this way add great
interest to each other.
34 HOWARD COLLEGER.
The Birmingham district, with its formations of coal, iron,
Hmestone, and other minerals, affords the best field in the State
for the study of Geology.
Text. — Le Conte's Elements.
Supplementary Reading. — Frye's Geography and Brigham's Geo-
graphic Influences.
THE M.S. DEGREE.
The M.S. degree will be granted to any student who has
previously taken the B.S. degree, upon satisfactorily completing
a year's resident work of ten hours per week in either Chemistry
or Biology in connection with work in Modern Languages.
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
Professor M. B. Garrett.
Course I. — English History. — Since England is virtually
the source of all our own institutions, to the American stu-
dent a knowledge of English history is very essential. This
course presupposes a thorough knowledge of United States
History. Its object is to lead the student further into the field
of history and give a deeper insight into our own national
development. Lectures and topical work used in connection
with text-book drill.
Text-Books. — Montgomery's English History, and Collateral
Authorities.
Course H. — Greek and Roman History. — This is a thor-
ough course in the history of two of the greatest peoples of

Roman Empire in the West to the present time. Occasional
lectures, topical work, and class drill.
Text-Books. — Myers' Mediaeval and Modern History taken as
the basis.
Course IV. — American History. — This course is designed
for advanced students, already familiar with the leading facts
of history, who desire to examine closely into the fundamental
principles of government and the great political movements in
the history of America.
LECTURES TO THE MINISTERIAL STUDENTS.
The President of the College has, during the current aca-
demic year, given a short course of lectures to the ministerial
students.
In these lectures he has presented certain suggestions con-
cerning the educational needs of the preacher, general and
special preparation for preaching, style, illustration, methods,
manner, and other topics that appertain to pulpit and pastoral
work.
The interest shown will probably lead to a considerable
expansion of this course. ,
PHYSICAL TRAINING AND ATHLETICS.
Director, C. Harry Miles.
The physical training course in the gymnasium and the
outdoor athletic sports and games keep the body strong and
healthy and furnish pleasant recreation, as necessary to the
student as study.
Mr. C. Harry Miles, who so successfully conducted the
work in this department last session, has been elected Director
of Physical Training and Athletics.
Mr. Miles received his later training under Dr. D. A.
Sargent, at Harvard University. He has been in charge of
the Birmingham Athletic Club for the last nine years.
36 HOWARD COLLEGE
The annual field day and the annual athletic exhibition,
with medals awarded to successful contestants, are among the
most interesting features of Commencement week.
All students, physically able, are required to take regular
work in physical training, health and physical development
being among the most important features of an education.
THE ACADEMY.
Professor Garrett, Principal.
Messrs. T. A. Gunn, B.S., and J. O. Colley, A.B., Assistants.
This department is designed to prepare young men for
admission into the College classes. The students are under the
same regulations and enjoy the same advantages as those in the
College. The method of instruction and the course of study
conform and lead directly to the College curriculum, thus
making the department a natural and easy door to the College.
Students bearing certificates of proficiency from this depart-
ment are received into the College classes without further
examination. Any student deficient in any schools of the Col-
lege course is allowed to finish these subjects in the Academic
department, and at the same time, if desirable, to pursue other
studies in the College,
Each student is required to take four subjects with Read-
ing, Spelling and Penmanship in addition to his English, and
recite five times a week in each. Many of the subjects are
continued through the two years, so that ample time may
be had to give the young men, who come to us poorly pre-
pared, thorough preparation for their College course. Stu-
dents with some ability and previous training, however, often
do the work in one year. The examinations are held at the
end of each term, the last being the final Before entering any
of the higher classes in this department, the student must stand
a satisfactory examination, or furnish some other evidences of
preparation satisfactory to the teacher.

BUSINESS COURSE.
Davis P. Stakely, A.B., LL.B.
Believing that a thorough elementary education is the
prime essential for mastering a commercial course of studies
and enabling one to use successfully the knowledge thus
obtained, the Faculty has decided to offer to young men of
limited means and time a one year's business course.
The advantages of such an addition are two-fold:
I. Many young men who desire to enter a business college
V
38 HOWARD COLLEGE.
have never had opportunity to obtain the elementary education
necessary. Such students may recite with the regular classes
of the College or sub-freshman department, and at the same
time pursue the studies outlined for the business course.
2. Many will desire the commercial training in addition
to the regular College course. These will be allowed to take
the business course in connection with their academic studies.
For entering this department, a young man should have
completed the course, or the equivalent of the course, taught
in the sub-freshman department, Latin excepted; but he may
carry on the work of the sub-freshman department and the
business course together, with the approval of the Faculty.
On completion of the business course, together with the
preliminary studies, a certificate will be granted.
COURSE OF STUDY.
One year's work in English, Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Business
Forms, and Commercial Arithmetic.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 39
COURSES OF STUDY AND DEGREES.
There are five regular undergraduate courses of study:
1. The Classical Course (A.B., Courses I. and II.).
2. The Scientii^ic Course (B.S., Courses I., II. and

Explanations and Requirements Regarding Courses
and Degrees.
1. For the divisions of the subjects taught in any year and
the text-books used, the student is referred to the separate
schools under the head "Departments of Instruction."
2. Students who are candidates for any one of the several
degrees are required to pursue the course of study outlined for
that degree. Deviations are allowed on the approval of the
Faculty.
Graduate Degrees.
The graduate degrees are Master of Arts and Master
OF Science. A graduate degree may be obtained by a grad-
uate of this College, or of any other institution of equal grade,
by pursuing, in residence, a one-year's course of study approved
by the Faculty. Special courses looking to the graduate degrees
will be given in the several schools.
44 HOWARD COLI.EGE.
GRADING AND EXAMINATIONS.
In every class the student is questioned on the lesson of the
day and graded according to his knowledge of the subject. A
record of daily marks is kept by the professor. At the end
of each month an' average of these marks is calculated and
recorded. From this record the student's class standing is
determined.
To the parent or guardian is sent periodically a transcript
of this record of class standing, together with such other infor-
mation as may be deemed important. By the prompt and
judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these
reports may be made of great value in promoting improvement
and in sustaining good discipline.
EXAMINATIONS.
In addition to the daily questioning, written examinations,
embracing the subjects treated in a given time, are held near
the close of each term, and at such other times during the
session as may be necessary. These examinations are given
to test the student's knowledge of the subjects passed over, and
determine whether he is prepared to pass to a higher class or to
graduate. In order to pass, students in all classes must make
70 per cent, of the maximum. In the final average the exami-
nation average counts one-third; the daily average two-thirds.
Students must not absent themselves from their exami-
nations.

HOWARD COI^LEGE^ 4/
GENERAL INFORMATION.
LOCATION.
Ready transportation between the City and the College is
afforded by an electric line, on which cars run each way at
intervals of twelve minutes. The distance is six miles and the
fare five cents. Regular day students get a half rate.
The authorities of the College are largely aided in the
administration of moral discipline by the favorable surround-
ings of the institution.
Religious worship is regularly held every Sabbath in the
Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist churches, which are located
within a few hundred yards of the College buildings. By spe-
cial statute the sale of ardent spirits is prohibited within a
radius of three miles.
INCIDENTAL ADVANTAGES.
By reason of the proximity of Howard College to a
large city, it enjoys many advantages without experiencing
the disadvantages of city life.
The life and energy characteristic of this region are apt to
awaken a corresponding spirit in the young men who attend
this institution of learning. This, taken in connection with the
public lectures and libraries of a large city, is not without vast
benefit to the young men seeking development, while the firm
but kind discipline serves to restrain students from any evil
influences of the city. Birmingham citizens have remarked
upon the fact that no Howard student is ever seen in a bar-room.
PERSONAL ATTENTION OF THE PROFESSORS.
The professors devote all their time to the students, giving
instruction in the class room during the day and visiting dor-
.48 HOWARD COI,I,EGE.
mitories night and day. Parents committing their sons fully
to the care of the College officers may be assured that phys-
ical comfort, moral influences and intellectual training will be
provided.
To avoid distracting influences, to command full attention
and to facilitate study, young men are required to board and
lodge at the College, unless their relatives live in town.
RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
Devotional exercises are held every morning in the Chapel,
and the Faculty and students attend.
Students are required to attend the churches of their choice
every Sunday morning; they are also required to attend Sun-
day-school, provided there is one belonging to the church of
their choice accessible. They may be entirely relieved of the
duty of attendance upon Sunday-school by presenting to the
President a written request to that effect from their parents or
guardians. In no instance is a student forced to attend any
Sunday-school other than the one of his own or his parents'
selection.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUNG BOYS.
Special attention will be given to boys under the ordinary
age of college students. These will, as far as possible, be placed
in the rooms of students of settled habits and good moral char-
acter. Ministerial students can often be induced to assume this
responsible charge.
SICKNESS.
When ill, students have the personal attention of the
Faculty and College physician. Parents and guardians are
promptly notified of the sickness of students, and advised from
time to time of their condition.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings are one main college building and five
dormitories.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 49
The main building- is three stories high, and embraces
lecture rooms, offices, laboratories, society halls and chapel.
Renfroe Hall, the new dormitory, is a large and handsome
building, which accommodates nearly one hundred students.
It is expected that during the coming school year a com-
modious and attractive building will be erected, to be used for
recitations, chemical laboratory, library, and other purposes.
GYMNASIUM.
The College is provided with a well equipped gymnasium.
LIBRARIES, CABINETS, ETC.
Each of the two literary societies has a good library, and
the College has one. Additions are constantly being made to
the libraries. Contributions of books are earnestly solicited
from the friends of the College.
The Barnett Library, furnished and supplied with
magazines and papers, is accessible to students from 9 a. m. to
10 p. M., and is both attractive and valuable.
The Ladies' Co-operative Association of Alabama will
annually provide $300, $120 of which will be devoted to the
payment of the board of some worthy ministerial student, who
will act as Librarian, and $180 to the purchase of books.
The Geological and Mineralogical Cabinets contain a large
variety of specimens. A handsome series of maps, charts an<l
engravings illustrate lectures on Geology, Astronomy anrl
Physiology. The College is in possession of a good chemical
laboratory.
PLAN OF INSTRUCTION.
Professors and teachers are occupied as many hours as are
necessary to examine thoroughly each day all the members of
each class, and thus allow no neglect of any study.
The classes are divided into sections, so that each student
may receive special attention. The members of sections are
arranged according to merit in each branch, and the students
are kept constantly stimulated to attain and preserve g-ood
positions.
50 HOWARD COI^LEGE.
The progress of each class and the relative merit of the
members are recorded. At the end of six weeks the results are
reported to the President and afterwards posted on the bulletin
board for encouragement or warning.
GOVERNMENT.
The government is administered by the President and pro-
fessors in accordance with the regulations adopted by the Board
of Trustees. The rules inculcate manly virtues^ preserve order,
require sobriety and morality, protect and encourage good stu-
dents, and do not allow the persistently idle and immoral to
remain where they can injure others.
The personal influence of the President and Faculty is
exercised to encourage the young men in the discharge of their
duties, and the co-operation of parents is solicited, as the suc-
cess of college government depends greatly upon the support
which is given from home to the administration of discipline.
Daily reports of conduct and semi-monthly reports of
studies are made to the President. From these monthly reports
are made to parents and guardians. The reports to parents
show the absolute and relative standing in each class, and other
facts that may be thought of interest.
CADET CORPS.
For the purpose of physical education — erect, graceful
and manly carriage of the body, a vigorous and healthy con-
stitution ; for cultivating politeness, moral courage, respect for
self, deference to others, frankness, perseverance, industry and
self-reliance, and for giving the mind power of close and con-
tinued attention, all students over fifteen years of age are
required to join the Cadet Corps, which is drilled not more
than one hour a day, and at such times as not to interfere with
their studies.
No student is excused from this duty, unless it be by the
President and Commandant for special reasons.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 51
TO NEW STUDENTS.
If new students will inform the President when they expect
to arrive in Birmingham, they will be met at the depot by some
student or member of the Faculty.
A committee from the Y. M. C. A. meets all incoming
trains bringing students.
Baggage of students will be transferred from Birmingham
to East Lake on the presentation of the check and transfer fee
to the Quartermaster at the College.
Rooms will be assigned before the opening of the session.
Those intending to enter College are urged to make application
for rooms at least one month before the day of opening.
AUXILIARY OR ACCREDITED SCHOOLS.
Any high school or academy in the State, whose course of
study and methods of teaching are approved by the President
and Faculty of Howard College, will, upon application, be
declared an Auxiliary or Accredited School of Howard, and
will be awarded a certificate to this effect. The President
invites correspondence with the principals of such schools.
Students presenting certificates from the Auxiliary or
Accredited Schools of Howard will be admitted to the College
without examination.
52 HOWARD COLLEGE.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are, in connection with the College and in success-
ful operation, two literary societies: the Philomathic and the
Franklin. They are provided with well selected libraries and
with handsome halls, where they meet every Saturday evening
for declamation, debate, and other things pertaining to the
interest of the societies. Besides these weekly meetings, each
society holds during the session three public meetings : two for
debate and one for declamation. The latter is arranged as a
part of the Commencement exercises, and each society gives a
medal for the best declamation. The medalists for i903-'04
were as follows:
FRANKLIN.
S. T. Jones Dale County.
PHILOMATHIC.
H. J. Martin Jefferson County.
The two societies unite in publishing the Howard Col-
legian, a monthly magazine of about fifty pages, which is
earnestly commended to the support of the alumni and other
friends of the College.
These literary societies are regarded as valuable aids to
the student in forming a literary taste, in affording opportuni-
ties for practice in debate, and in obtaining a knowledge of
parliamentary rules. All students in the College are required
to join and attend one of the societies.
^. THE MINISTERIAL CLASS.
The ministerial students meet Tuesday evenings for the
purpose of studying and analyzing Scripture texts, and for the
HOWARD COIvIvEGE. 53
discussion of matters of interest and profit to themselves. A
series of lectures by leading ministers and Christian workers
is given, and is of great benefit to the class.
By the co-operation of the Executive Committee of the
Birmingham Baptist Association, young ministers are given
work in the destitute places of the Association. Besides this,
the care of churches in the suburbs of Birmingham and at
adjacent points is offered. 1/
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
In the fall of 1898 a Y, M. C. A. was organized among the
students of the College. During the last two sessions the work
done by the Association has by far surpassed that of any other
year in its history. This is largely due to the fact that the
members are better informed concerning the work, having come
in contact with the able Y. M. C. A. workers at the Asheville
Conference. Classes in Bible study and personal work have
been organized, and are doing good work. In addition to this,
the Missionary Committee has been doing effective work.
The plans for the ensuing year are already made. Dele-
gates will attend the Summer Conference, and will return fully
equipped as leaders in the different departments.
A special feature of the work is the interest manifested by
the members towards new students. A committee is appointed
to meet all trains and welcome the new boys.
It is hoped that the College Y. M. C. A. will during the
coming year have comfortable and commodious quarters in the
building soon to be erected on the campus. In that room the
Association will meet for services, and keep all papers and
books belonging to the organization.

INFORMATION CONCERNING ENTRANCE,
TUITION, BOARD, ETC.
THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR.
The next session begins on Tuesday, the 19th of Septem-
ber, and continues nine scholastic months, the annual Com-
mencement occurring on the last Wednesday in May. The
session is divided into two terms, the second term beginning
January 30th. The exercises are suspended for one week at
Christmas.
Students are urged to be present at the opening of the ses-
sion and to return promptly after the holidays. The delay or
loss of even a few days is often a great hindrance to the future
progress of the student. Patrons are particularly requested to
cooperate with the Faculty to the end that all students shall
remain in College before the Christmas recess and the close of
the session until all exercises shall have been concluded.
MATRICULATION.
Every applicant for admission, arriving in the city, is
required to report promptly to the President. To be admitted
he must be of good moral character ; and, if he has been a
student of another institution, he must present satisfactory
evidence of good moral conduct while there; and he must
undergo such examination as will satisfy the Faculty that his
character and attainments will justify his admission. Then,
after arranging with the treasurer for his expenses for the
term, he is required to matriculate at once.
CLASSIFICATION.
The student is examined and classified according to his
advancement in each of the several subjects he may wish to
study. Great care is exercised that no one may enter higher
than his previous training and present attainments will justify.
HOWARD COLLEGE. 55
ADMISSION WITHOUT EXAMINATION.
Students having certificates of proficiency, or diplomas
from high schools or academies of high grade and recognized
thoroughness, will be admitted into classes without examina-
tion, and classified according to the degree of advancement
indicated by their certificates or diplomas. The student thus
admitted will, of course, be transferred to a lower class, if it
should be found later that he was allowed to enter too high at
the beginning.
SELECTION OF STUDIES.
A student is allowed to select the course of study that will
best qualify him for his life's vocation. The Faculty, believing
in the necessity and utility of a broad and liberal education, will
always encourage a complete course. To this end, the right is
reserved to prescribe the studies of students in any case where,
in the wisdom of the Faculty, it seems necessary. The student
is expected to adhere throughout the session to the course
selected.
Every one is required to have at least fifteen recitations a
week. Twenty to twenty-two recitations a week are regarded,
in the experience of the Faculty, as sufficient for the average
student and even for the student of greatest capacity. To
undertake more than these means a class of work unsatisfac-
tory to the professor and the student, and the result may be
failure. Hence, no student is allowed to carry more than
twenty-two recitations a week, unless it be by consent of the
Faculty for special reasons.
EXPENSES.
All expenses are payable strictly in advance at the begin-
ning of each term.
When a student leaves College before the close of the
term, board is refunded, but no fees ; and tuition will be
refunded only when resignation from College is caused by ill
health, certificate of which must be presented from the College
physician.
56 HOWARD COLLEGE.
No reduction in board or tuition is allowed for absence of
less than four weeks.
Remittances should be made to the Treasurer by registered
letter, money order, or New York exchange.
The expenses in detail are as follows:
Tuition. — Tuition in all departments is $30.00 a term.
Board. — Board is $60.00 per term for all students. Stu-
dents lodge in the dormitories and take their meals in the Col-
lege dining hall. Great care is exercised in the selection and
preparation of the food. The dining hall is in charge of a
competent and worthy matron.
The rooms of students are furnished with the most
approved styles of iron bedsteads, provided with wire-woven
springs. Tables, chairs, mattresses and other articles of neces-
sity are provided by the College. Every student, however, is
required to bring a pair of blankets or comforts, sheets and
pillow-cases. When he retires from the College he may remove
them as a portion of his baggage.
Incidental Fee. — An incidental fee of $5.00 per term is
charged every student. No exceptions are made. This fee is
required for fuel, repairs and the incidental expenses of the
College.
Medical Fee. — Observation has taught us that every stu-
dent needs some medical attention during the session, while
some need a great deal. In order to economize in the matter
of medical fees, a College physician has been elected by the
Board of Trustees. He makes daily visits to the College dor-
mitories, and renders any medical service the students may need
during the entire session. For this service each student is
required to deposit with the Treasurer a fee of $2.50 at the
beginning of each term.
Gymnasium Fee. — A fee of $1.00 per term is charged as
a gymnasium fee.
Diploma Fee. — A fee of $5.00 is charged for every
diploma.
Laboratory Fees. — Students in the Chemistry classes are
required to pay a fee of $5.00 for chemicals used in the labo-
HOWARD COI.LEGE. 57
rator3^ Students in Physics pay $2.50 per year for the use of
apparatus.
Cost oi^ Unif'orms. — Arrangements have been made by
the Faculty with a responsible firm, whereby cadets can secure
uniforms, made of the best material, West Point regulation
style, at a cost not exceeding $16.00 per suit. While all stu-
dents in the Cadet Corps are required to purchase uniforms,
yet they cost less than citizens' suits of the same quality, and
are most durable. Therefore they diminish rather than increase
the student's expenses at college.
Incidental Expenses of the Student. — In addition to
the above named expenses, the student will need a small amount
of money for stationery, books, lights, laundry, etc. But the
Faculty would impress upon parents and guardians that stu-
dents need little money beyond what is advertised in the Col-
lege catalogue ; and parents are advised to limit the amount of
pocket change allowed their sons.
When requested to do so, the Treasurer will act as iiscal
guardian of students, granting only such sums to them as may
be needed. Nothing contributes more to the demoralization of
the young man at college than a well-filled purse for private use.
Not infrequently complaint is made because of the extrav-
agance of a student at college, as if the institution were respon-
sible for the amounts sent from time to time by parents or
guardians. The actual college expenses are stated in the cat-
alogue ; and if parents or guardians are lavish in their gifts of
money to their sons or wards, they should not hold the college
responsible.
SUMMARY OF EXPENSES.
It will be seen from the above specifications that board,
tuition and required fees cost the student in the boarding
department :
Per term $98 50
Per session 197 00
Students not boarding in the College :
Per term $36 00
Per session 72 00
58 HOWARD COLLEGE.
The foregoing expenses are as low as it is possible to make
them and yet insure efficient work and first-class accommoda-
tions. To lower the expenses further would mean to lower the
standard of work and the character of accommodations. It is
purposed, on the contrary, to raise these without increase of
expense to the students. No one who understands the impor-
tance of the right kind of education would prefer cheapness to
thoroughness. It is the purpose of the management to give
full "value received" for every cent charged. Howard's mis-
sion is to make men, not money — to protect its students from
the ruinous habits of vice and dissipation, and to develop their
mental, moral and physical possibilities into strong, harmonious
characters.
SONS OF MINISTERS.
The sons of active ministers are given one-half of their
tuition free.
STUDENTS FOR THE MINISTRY.
Young men studying for the Gospel Ministry, who come
duly approved by their churches and indorsed by the Board of
Ministerial Education, are admitted free of charge for tuition.
They are charged for board and fees the same as other students.
Ministerial students must, at matriculation, pay the dues
required at entrance, or make satisfactory arrangements for the
same with the Board of Ministerial Education. The Faculty
will assume no risks on deferred payments.
The Board of Ministerial Education will assist worthy
young men from Baptist churches in Alabama in paying their
expenses at College.
They must conform to the following regulations:
1. Moral. — In addition to being a member in good stand-
ing of a Missionary Baptist Church, the beneficiary must bring
the indorsement of his church, expressing their belief that he
is called of God to preach the Gospel.
2. Financial. — The object of the Board is to help only
those who need help ; therefore it refuses to contribute anything
HOWARD COLLEGE. 59
to a student who has resources of his own. The Board very
earnestly asks that the church and association giving indorse-
ment of a brother signify at the same time their purpose to
render him financial aid to the extent of his necessities or their
ability.
3. Education. — The Board has decided to require all
beneficiaries hereafter to be prepared for the freshman class
before entering Howard College.
Young men needing aid should write to one of the
OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL EDUCATION.
Rev. J. M. Shelbume, L.H.D., President East Lake, Alabama
C. C. Jones, M.D., Secretary and Treasurer East Lake, Alabama
Friends of the College will confer upon the institution a
great favor, and will aid the cause of Christian education, if
they will send the President, the Chairman of the Faculty, or
the Secretary the names and addresses of young men who may
be led to enter Howard College. The constant co-operation
and sympathy of all interested in higher education are earnestly
invoked.
For catalogues and general information address the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of the Faculty at East Lake, Alabama.

ENDOWMENT.
The buildings and appointments of the College represent
an expenditure of $75,000. The friends of Christian educa-
tion have donated over two hundred acres of land, described
below. More than one-half of this land lies around Birming-
ham ; some of it is to-day desirable building property, and most
of it will rapidly enhance in value with the development of
Birmingham, Woodlawn and East Lake.
The Alabama Baptist State Convention, with a unanimous
vote, offers the College yearly the interest on $100,000 at six
per cent., or $6,000 ; this to continue until the permanent endow-
ment of the institution has been increased by this amount.

KIND WORDS.
A distinguished clergyman, after conducting a ten days'
meeting in the College, during which he mingled freely with
Faculty and students, and repeatedly visited the class rooms,
thus writes in The Alabama Baptist (April 26, 1905) :
" One can not remain inside the College and enter into its life for
many hours without being made sensible of the fine atmosphere per-
vading the community. The very air is charged with noble aspirations,
high ideals, broad, sane, wise and elevated views of life, — large, full,
manly, — and this atmosphere, being constantly breathed by students and
Faculty, is developing a rich and splendid type of character.
"Appeal is constan1<ly made to the highest motives, and as a rule
met with a manly response. One is struck with what I may be per-
mitted to call the team work of the teaching force. Each member of
the Faculty, while stronger, as he ought to be, in his own department
than in any other, still does his work in harmony with the work in other
departments. Thus many ' double plays ' are made.
" The College is not a legion, but a mighty force for good, and a
plaee where God's people can invest their means in its enlargement and
better equipment with assurance that here they will undoubtedly reap a
large dividend of blessings far-reaching, widespread, to the glory of God
and the uplift of humanity.
"As I look at it, Howard College is, and may become more and
more, one of the greatest factors for the coming of the Kingdom in
Alabama ; and as such I commend it, from the standpoint of one who
has seen its inside workings, to the consideration of our people as
worthy of an interest in their prayers and support."
