^'■THE LnEflTrnN.<-

Chattanooga, the seat of the University, already a historic city, is one of the most enterprising places in
the South, and is centrally located and easy of access. The University grounds comprise twelve acres in the
residence portion of the city, so elevated that they command an unobstructed view of Mount Lookout, Mission
Ridge, and Walden's Ridge, with glimpses of the Tennessee River. Statistics show the city to be healthful, and
the University has a most favorable location — one that will be conducive to the health of its teachers and
students.

^^^^^"""^js^^^^

^*THE BUILHINE**

Is a four-story brick structure, with a high stone basement — 120 feet front by 100 feet deep — containing over
eighty rooms, besides wardrobes, bath-rooms, and every modern convenience. The architectural beauty of the
building is marked by all, and the internal arrangement and finish are not surpassed, if equaled, by auy school
building in the South, The plan is the result of long experience and wide observation in the educational field,
and the chief aim has been to provide for the comfort, convenience, and health of the teachers and students.
The entire building will be lighted by gas, supplied with water, and heated by steam, thereby securing the
largest degree of safety, as well as comfort.

^CnURSES HF.STUnY.^

Complete courses of study will be arranged for the various Departments. The studies in Preparatory
Schools will be extended to meet the wants of those who may wish at least one year's work in the common
branches. Regular exercises in composition will be required throughout the course, and Literary Societies will be
organized to afford greater opportunities for exercise in debate, elocution, composition, and other means for
mental and social culture.

^EXPENSES.^
Tuition for each term will be ten dollars; and board (including furnished rooms warmed and lighted) will
be two dollars ($2.00) per week. Students in the Theological Department will have free tuition, and be
charged only one-half the regular rates for board. The children of all miuisters engaged in regular ministerial
work will have free tuition. Music, Fine Arts, French, and German will be extra — but the terms will be as
low as practicable.

i-half at the beginning of the term, and the other half in the middle of the term,
rates will be secured for students on all the lines of railroad leading into the city.

^THE EEHTHflL UHIUEHSITY.^

Fifteen years ago Drs. Cohleigh, Fuller, Pearne, Spence, and their co-adjutors in the Central South, under-

X standing the educational wants of this section, developed the grand idea of a University that should be the ce}i-

1 iral institvtion for the Holston, Central Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Blue Ridge, and Virginia Conferences

J of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In course of time (his idea gathered such force that a committee,

/ representing these conferences, was raised to select a location for such a Central University, and this com-

\ mittee, after visiting the three, cities that seemed most eligible, expressed its preference as follows: First,

\ Chattanooga; Second, Knoxville ; Third, Athens. The Freedmen's Aid Society which, representing the Meth-

' odist Episcopal Church in its educational work in the South, was to provide the property, concurred with the

locating committee in its first choice, namely, Chattanooga. This selection was subsequently approved by the

Holston and other Conferences, and tlie Freedmen's Aid Society proceeded to secure sufiicient land, and put

up an adequate building. The result is the best structure owned by our Church in the South, and a property

; for which, by the time the school is opened, fully §90,000 will have been expended — chiefly the ofleriug of our

t Methodism to her Southern educational work in the Central South — that the conferences named may have the

I Central University which has been the dream and hope of their wisest and best men. Let a full school be the

ml munificent work of our Church.

SOLLEgE OF LIBERAL ARTS,

There are three courses of study provided in this de-
partment: the classical, the philosophical, and the scien-
tific. The classical course leads to the degree of bachelor
of arts It covers four years, and is designed to afford
opportunity for acquiring a good general knowledge of a
wide range of subjects, embracing ancient and modern
languages, mathematics, history, natural science, litera-
ture, and philosophy. The philosophical and the scientific
courses are, for the present, arranged for three years, and
lead to the degrees of bachelor of philosophy and bach-
elor of science, respectively. The aim, in all these courses,
is general rather than special culture, and a symmetrical
and carefully graduated development, rather than the ex-
haustive investigation of a few subjects to the neglect
of the rest. In all the courses, the prescribed fifteen ex-
ercises a week, besides rhetoricals, are required. Students
may elect one or more studies outside their own course,
if the faculty approve the choice.

PROMOTION.

Frequent examinations are required in all the studies
pursued. When a subject or text-book is completed, a
final examination tests the student's ability to pass to the
next in order. Failure to pass in a single study may not
prevent him from continuing with his class, but the work
must invariably be made up afterwards.

A careful record of each student's work is kept, a re-
port of which is furnished him at the close of each term.
An average of seventy per cent is required to pass from

Chattanooga University 15

any stuclv to the next higher, in computing which the reci-
tation mark counts twice as much as the examination
mark. At least fifty per cent must be madt in recitations,
to admit the student to the final examination. An
average of ninety-three per cent in any study, entitles
the student to honors therein.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.

All candidates for admission to the freshman class
in the classical course are examined in the following studies:

English — Grammar, Composition, and Literature.

Latin — Grammar and Composition, Mythology, four
books of Caesar's Commentaries, Sallust's Catiline, six
books of Virgil's ^neid.

Greek — Grammar and Composition, Mythology,
Anabasis, four books.

Mathematics — Arithmetic, Algebra to Quadratics,
Plane and Solid Geometry.

History — United States, General, and Sacred.

Science — Descriptive and Physical Geography, Phys-
iology, and Civil Government.

Candidates for the scientific or the philosophical course
substitute for Greek one year's work in English Classics
and one in French or German.

Candidates for advanced standing are subject to
examination in all the prescribed antecedent work. In
suitable cases, substitutes will be accepted.

Amm% DEPARTMENT,

In this Department three preparatory courses of
study are ofiferecl : classical, philosophical, and scientific,,
of three years each, leading to corresponding courses in the
College of Liberal Arts. The last two differ from the
first mainly in the omission of Greek. But all students
are earnestly advised to be satisfied with nothing less
than the full classical course. Even if only a limited
time is available for attendance at school, it will be
found preferable, in most cases, to take regular work.

A select course ma\ be pursued by all who desire,,
provided the work chosen meets the approval of the fac-
ulty and the hours of recitation do not conflict.

Promotion and honors are given on the same terms
as in the Collegiate Department. Report.s of scholarship
and deportment are made out for each student in the
middle and at the close of each term. If the parent or
guardian requests it, these reports will be mailed to him.
regularly.

ANCIENT LANGUAGES.

Professor Starr.

The Latin Language still retains its place as the
foundation of a liberal education. It is a required study
throughout all the regular courses in the Academic De-
partment, and during the first two years in the Collegiate.
The best results are aimed at, in instruction in elementary
forms, idiomatic expressions, and in securing rapid and
easy translations. The Roman method of pronunciation
has been adopted, and candidates for admission to the
College classes are expected to be familiar with it. Allen
and Greenough's Latin grammar is the standard authority,
and the text-books edited in connection with this grammar
are recommended.

The study of Greek begins one year later in the course,
and proceeds side by side with that of Latin. It is required
in the classical course, which offers a wide range of instruc-
tion in the standard authors of this immortal literature.
Goodwin's grammar is the standard, and Ginn Brothers'
texts are recommended.

MODERN LANGUAGES.

Mr. Steudel.

The growing demand for instruction in French and
German has led to the incorporation of these languages in
the required courses of study. In providing thus for these
studies, reference is had not only to their practical uses in
social and professional life, but to their broader utilit iny
meeting the modern requirements of a liberal education.
Comfort's German grammar and reader, and Fasquelle's

■22 CHATTAiSTOOGA UNIVERSITY.

Complete French Course, are used, followed by selections
from standard authors in both languages.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

Mrs. Presnell and Miss Bachman.

Especial attention is paid to these subjects. The
iirst preparatory year of all the courses is devoted to a
thorough review of English grammar, with careful drill in
■easy composition and elementary rhetoric. In the philo-
sophical and scientific courses this is followed by a year's
critical study of English classics, which is intended to be
an invaluable auxiliary to the acquirement of a correct lit-
erary taste and st\ le. Advanced rhetoric is taught later in
the course, and English literature receives a liberal allot-
ment of time for extended reading and study. Lectures
are frequently delivered by the professor in charge, and by
other scholars and specialists, upon the more important
subjects. American literature is not neglected. Courses
of colhnteral reading are arranged for those who desire, and
frequent essays and orations afford opportunity to practice
the principles learned. The text-books in use during the
past year have been Reed and Kellogg's Higher Lessons
in English, selected volumes of the Riverside Classics,
Adams S. Hill's Rhetoric, and Arnold's English Literature.

HISTORY.

Dr. Manker, Mrs. Presnell, Miss Bachman.

The course in history covers nearly three years
United States history is first studied, which is followed
by a year's work in ancient, mediaeval, and modern his-
tory. Following this is a study of the history of the Jewish
nation, according to the sacred Scriptures In connection
with the general subject, the civil government of our own

country is made a special line of instruction. The his-
tory of civilization closes the course in the Senior Colle-
giate year. The text-books in use are Thalheimer's
United States, Anderson's General History, Smith's Sa-
cred History, Young's Government Class-book, and Gui-
zot's History of Civilization.

MATHEMATICS.

Mr. Robertson.

This ancient science occupies its usual place of prom-
inence in our curriculum, being taught throughout the
preparatory years and during much of the Collegiate, in
all the courses. Wentworth and Hill's Arithmetic, Olney's
Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Trigonometry, and Sur-
veying.

NATURAL SCIENCE.

Professor Hooper.

The constant effort will be to make this department
as thorough and practical as possible, enabling the pupil
fully to comprehend the principles underlying each subject
and so to unite these as to make all subsequent work both
easy and delightful.

Besides the regular required work, classes will be or-
ganized to take up new branches or to pursue further those
required, whenever there shall be a sufficient number of
students desiring so to do.

Good rooms, conveniently located, have been set apart
for a laboratory and a museum, and already a good
beginning has been made in the line of physical and chem-
ical apparatus. Through the kindness and liberality of
Prof. P. C. Wilson, of Chattanooga, this department has
been supplied with an excellent stereopticon and a large
number of views, illustratory of the subjects of astronomy,

24 Chattanooga University.

anatomy, and physiology, and of noted scenery and his-
torical events.

Physical Geography is taught during the first term
of the third academic year. Maury's text (revised edi-
tion) is used, and the recitations will be accompanied by
lectures showing the connection between this and kindred
branches.

Instruction is given in anatomy and physiology during
the third term of the third academic year. The text-
book used is Martin's Human Body.

The required work in chemistry is taken in the first
term of the Freshman year, and those wishing to continue
the study may do so during the second term of this year.
Instruction is given by text-book, lectures, and experi-
ments. So far as practicable, each student will be re-
quired to perform the experiments for himself, under the
direction of the teacher.

The Freshman class takes up mineralogy in the
third term. This study is required in the scientific course,
and elective in all others.

The aim is to familiarize the student with the phys-
ical character and composition of the common minerals
and rocks.

In biology the student studies structural and system-
atic botany, and structural and systematic zoology, by
the use of the microscope upon prepared and mounted
specimens, structural affinities, the ways and means by
which the various functions of life are carried on, and the
life history of typical forms are dwelt upon.

The study of comparative zoology, structural and sys-
tematic, is pursued during the second term of the sopho-
more year. An excellent opportunity will be afforded each
student in this branch for microscopic examinations Or-
ton's text (revised edition) is used.

Chattanooga University. 25

Botany. — During the first six weeks of the term there
are daily recitations from the text-book, and the remaining
fonr weeks are spent in analytical and field work. Gray's
Field, Forest, and Garden Botany is used.

Physics. — The first term of the junior year is devoted
to the study of the properties and conditions of matter,
dynamics, machines, liquids, sound, and light. The sec-
ond term to pneumatics, electricity, and heat.

Geology. — The first term of the senior year is de-
voted to structural, dynamical, and historical geology.
The text-book (Le Conte's Compend of Geology) is supple-
mented by lectures. Some attention will also be given to
applied geology and museum practice. Classes will also
be formed in the geology of Tennessee, which will enable
the pupil to obtain a good idea of the rock formations and
wonderful mineral resources of the State.

The course in descriptive astronomy extends through
the second term of the senior year. It aims not only to
give a general knowledge of the heavenly bodies, but to
give such information concerning them as will acquaint
the student with the methods of determining the figure,
size, density, distance, motions, and physical constitution
of the bodies constituting the solar system ; the nature of
comets and meteors, with their relations to the solar sys-
tem j the nature of the stellar universe, and the various
theories concerning the formation of the solar and stellar
systems.

'PHILOSOPHY AND CHRISTIAN EVIDENCES.

Professor Le'wis.

The cognate subjects under these general heads, in
the course of study, have been carefully selected and
arranged. Psychology is begun in the junior year as the
basis of subsequent work. A practical knowledge of the
phenomena and faculties of the human soul is sought.

26 Chattanooga University.

especially of consciousness, rational intuition, perception,
and the will. The bearing of a true psychology upon the
other sciences, the art of teaching, success in all the learned
professions, individual well-being, morals, and religion, and
its value in neutralizing the exclusively practical tendencies
of the age, are emphasized throughout. Butler's Analogy
of religion to the constitution and course of nature is
studied in the senior year. Space is also given to aesthet-
ics, in order that the culture of the taste may not be
neglected. The principles of man's nature, as addressed
by the fine arts, are presented, together with an exposition
of the elementary principles of criticism of drawing, sculp-
ture, architecture, painting, landscape-gardening, and the
decorative arts. Moral science is carefully taught, the
supreme authority of conscience advocated, and the pre-
cepts of positive authority explained and fortified. In nat-
ural theology the scientific theories of recent years that
"have tended to make the basis of theism the focal point
of the thought of the age," are examined, and the natural
evidences of the being and attributes of God are set forth.
This study is followed by that of the evidences of Chris-
tianity, embracing the supernatural testimony of revelation.
Finally, the history of philosophy is read, as the long
search of the human soul for the ultimate causes of phe-
nomena. An outline of each of the great systems is pre-
sented, its place in the current of thought fixed, and its
influence upon subsequent systems noted.

Instruction in this department is given by questions,
lectures, diagrams, and informal conversations. The text-
books are Schuyler's Empirical and Rational Psycliology,
Malcom's Butler's Analogy, Samson's Art Criticism,
Hickok's Moral Science, Valentine's Natural Theology,
Hopkins's Evidences of Christianity, and Schwegler's
History of Philosophy.

Chattanooga University. 27

MOOL OP THEOLOgY.

The design of the School of Theology is to aid
young men who are called to preach, in thoroughly pre-
paring themselves for the Christian ministry.

Candidates for admission must present their creden-
tials as licentiates, or satisfactory testimonials from the
proper officers or authorities of their respective Churches^
that they are suitable persons to be admitted to a course
of study in preparation for holy orders.

Such persons will be admitted to the Theological
School, and if necessary to classes in the College of Lib-
eral Arts, free of tuition.

The regular course of study, leading to the degree of
B. D., occupies three full years, and for its successful
prosecution, requires a previous course of collegiate
training.

For the benefit of young men who can not take both
the collegiate and the theological course, a Biblical course
has been arranged, which provides for one year's work in
academic studies, following this with a careful selection in
higher English branches, general and Church history,
theology in its several departments, together with three
years' systematic study in the English Bible itself.

This course offers special advantages to candidates
for the ministry who can spend only a short time in school,
and who desire to pursue a select course in academic,
collegiate, and theological studies, without the ancient lan-
guages and higher mathematics.

ART DEPARTMENT.

In this depaitrnent instruction is furnished in drawing,
crayon, portraiture, water-color, lustre, oil, and china paint-
ing. The studio is large and well lighted, and provided
with art-furniture, models, and studies. Those who have
availed themselves of the opportunities for culture afforded
by this department, have made rapid progress, and pro-
duced pictures showing excellent taste and skill. The
pencil and the brush are not only the implements of an
elegant accomplishment, but of a practical art. In this
day of universal ornamentation, the designer's skill finds
wide scope ; and the paths of industrial art are open both
to men and women. The method of instruction is simple
and natural, adapted to the individual needs of each pupil,
and supplemented by lectures and diagrams.

gENERAL INFORMATION,

HISTORY.

/^ The Chattanooga University opened its doors for the \

reception of students September 15, 1886. The object of
its establishment was to provide the very best facilities for
thorough culture in all departments of learning. Five
schools have already been organized, and courses of in-
struction arranged in Academic, Collegiate, Theological,
Musical, and Art work.

Fifteen years ago, Drs. Cobleigh, Fuller, Pearne,
Spence, and their coadjutors in the Central South, under-
standing the educational wants of this section, developed
the grand idea of a University that should be The Central
Institution for the Holston, Central Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia, Blue Ridge, and Virginia Conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. In course of time this idea
gathered such force that a committee, representing these
conferences, was raised to select a location^ for such a
Central University ; and this committee, after visiting the
three cities that seemed most eligible, expressed its prefer-
ence as follows: i^/rj/, Chattanooga ; Second, Knoxville j
Third, Athens. The Freedmen's Aid Society, which, rep-
resenting the Methodist Episcopal Church in its educa-
tional work in the South, was to provide the
property, concurred with the locating committee in its first
choice, namely, Chattanooga. This selection was subse-
quently approved by the Holston and other Conferences,
and the Freedmen's Aid Society proceeded to secure suf-
ficient land, and put up an adequate building. The result
is the best structure owned by our Church in the South,

36 Chattanooga University.

and a property for which fully $90,000 has been ex-
pended— chiefly the offering of our Methodism to her
Southern educational work in the Central South — that the
conferences named may have the Central University which
has been the dream and hope of their wisest and best men.
A full school has been the appreciative response to this
good and munificent work of our Church, and this great
enterprise starts most auspiciously upon its high career.

LOCATION.

Chattanooga, the seat of the University, already a
historic city, is one of the most enterprising places in the
South, and is centrally located and easy of access. The
University grounds comprise twelve acres in the residence
portion of the city, so elevated that they command an un-
obstructed view of Mount Lookout, Missionary Ridge, and
Walden's Ridge, with glimpses of the Tennessee River.
Statistics show the city to be healthful, and the University
has a most favorable location — one that will be conducive
to the health of its teachers and students.

THE BUILDING

Is A four-story brick structure, with a stone basement — 120
feet front by 100 feet deep — containing over eighty rooms,
besides wardrobes, bath-rooms, and every modern conven-
ience. The architectural beauty of the building is marked
by all, and the internal arrangement and finish are not
surpassed, if equaled, by any school-building in the South.
The plan is the result of long experience and wide obser-
vation in the educational field, and the chief aim has been
to provide for the comfort, convenience, and health of the
teachers and students. The entire building will be lighted
by gas, supplied with water, and heated by steam, thereby
.securing the largest degree of safety, as well as comfort.

Chattanooga University. 37

LIBRARY AND APPARATUS.

The University is already able to offer a fair measure
of assistance to students by means of current newspapers,
books of reference, natural history specimens, maps, charts,
globes, and physical and chemical apparatus. By the gen-
erosity of Professor P. C. Wilson, A. M., a valuable stere-
opticon has been placed in the Hall, and a large number
of instructive views have been exhibited to the students.
Pianos are provided for musical practice, and a large
variety of studies and models, for students in art.

The importance of these general accessories to the
work of instruction is highly estimated, and large additions
of books and periodicals, as well as scientific specimens
and appliances, will be constantly made.

TERMS OF ADMISSION.

These should be clearly understood. In general,
every student, by the act of application for admission,
agrees to the willing performance of all duties prescribed
by the University, and to govern himself according to its
rules. His signature in the matriculation-book is given
as his personal pledge to this agreement, and no student
may be admitted to any of the privileges of the University
without such matriculation. Candidates for admission
must present satisfactory testimonials of good character.
Those who have been members of other institutions must
present certificates of honorable dismissal and satisfactory
proof of being qualified for the classes which they propose
to enter. Although most students may and should pro-
pose for themselves a regular course of study in some de-
partment, yet large liberty is allowed in the selection of
work, to any who may desire instruction in a single branch
or in special lines. It is quite feasible for many whose
time is partially occupied with business or domestic duties,

38 Chattanooga University.

to pursue special studies in the University, with great profit
to themselves. All students, however, assume the obliga-
tions above referred to, and are bound by them until re-
leased by the expiration of the session, or regularly dis-
missed by the president.

GOVERNMENT.

This is primarily the duty of the student himself, and
its responsibilities are not sought by the faculty. The
University is not a reformatory institution, and it would be
seriously impeded in its educational work if it should
spend its strength in struggling with mischievous and re-
fractory youth. It offers no substitute for earnest and
patient work, and desires none other than upright and
honorable students. If the student is disposed to work
he will receive judicious and faithful assistance from his
instructors ; if he should become careless and fall into
transgression, he will receive a kind remonstrance and
patient forbearance for a time ; but if he persistently re-
fuses to govern himself, the faculty will not hesitate to
sever his connection with the University.

LITERARY AND RELIGIOUS.

Two literary societies have been organized among
the students, the Demosthenean and the Waldenean, and
have been profitably maintained thus far. Each has been
assigned a commodious hall in the University building,
which it has handsomely furnished and used for weekly
meetings. Joint public sessions are held in the chapel
from time to time, which have been attended by large
audiences.

The Manker Theological Society was organized in
the fall. It occupies a richly furnished room on the first
floor of University Hall, and possesses a valuable library,

Chattanooga University. 39

which will be constantly enlarged. It holds weekly meet-
ings whose programs are specially arranged with reference
to the best discipline of young ministers, and has already
proved to be a valuable auxiliary to the other means of
culture afforded by the University.

Visits of eminent scholars and professional men have
been of frequent occurrence, many of whom have favored
us with one or more lectures or addresses. Among these,
the past year, have been Bishop Bowman, Bishop Foss,
Bishop Walden, Bishop Mallalieu, Bishop Fowler, Dr.
R. S. Rust, Mrs. Dr. R. S. Rust, Dr. J. H. Bayliss, Dr.
Earl Cranston, Dr. J. Braden, Dr. R. Keeler, Rev. John
S. Barnitz, Dr. T. C. Carter, Prof W. P. Thirkield, Prof.
P. C. Wilson, Prof. Walter Gregg, Dr. James Mitchell,
Rev. A. B. Riker, Dr. L. W. Munhall, Dr. Frank T.
Smith, Rev. C H. Mead, and Prof. A. A. Hopkins.

The religious influence of the school is carefully
guarded. Two prayer-meetings are maintained by the
students, with occasional song services on Sunday. All
boarding students are required to attend the Church of
their choice every Sunday morning, and they generally at-
tend Sunday-school and other services. A prayer service is
held in the chapel every morning, which all students are
required to attend.

BOARDING.

A first-class Boarding Department is maintained in
the University building, furnishing accommodations for
about one hundred students. Most of the rooms accom-
modate two students each, and all are provided with
steam and gas fixtures, bedstead, springs, mattress, pil-
lows, blankets, comforts and linen, dresser, washstand,
table, chairs, and mosquito-bar. The dining-hall, kitchen,
and laundry are large and thoroughly equipped for at

under the supervision of an experienced housekeeper.
Boarding-students are under the special care of the resi-
dent members of the faculty. The young ladies are re-
sponsible to the preceptress, who gives them her constant
attention and assistance. The design of this Department
is to furnish a pleasant and comfortable home for stu-
dents, at the lowest possible cost.

The sanitary arrangements of the building are per-
fect, and the health, the manners, and the morals of
students are faithfully guarded. Professor Hooper is the
superintendent of this Department.

EXPENSES.

Reference to the table following will show these to
be very low. The Methodist Episcopal Church, in the
maintenance of this University, is making it possible to
secure superior educational advantages at rates within the
reach of any youth of health and energy. Thousands of
successful ventures have proved it entirely practicable to
enter upon a course of study with little or no accumulated
means, and to prosecute it successfully. The way opens
before earnest and consecrated young men and women. A
city like Chattanooga affords many opportunities for em-
ployment, and most people are glad to help worthy young
men and women help themselves. Boarding is the
principal item of expense, and this is furnished at less than
half the usual rates. The tuition fees are low, and books
are not necessarily numerous nor costly. Laundry work
is done in the institution at cost, and these comprise the
necessary expenses of the student. Much of the work re-
quired in the care of the Hall and grounds, is done by
students, whose applications are preferred to those of out-
side persons, and honored as the mark of self-reliance and
genuine manhood.
