MEMBERSHIP.

For membership in the Institution a person must have a good moral
character, and must sign a pledge to abstain from the use ef all intoxi-
cating drinks and tobacco in every form, while a member of the school.

Good health being necessary for success in study, it is expected that
none who are permanently weak or diseased will apply for admission.
The Institution has had a good reputation for healthfulness, and the
interests of the people for whom it was founded demand that this rep-
utation should be maintained.

Pupils from other schools must present certificates of honorable
dismission.

Applications for admission should be made at least a month before
the beginning of the school year.

Pupils should enter the first day of the school year, that they may-
be immediately classified, and thus lose no time.

24 Atlanta University.

Any who cannot be here the first day, should so time their coming
as to get here on Wednesday, as Thursday will be the day for examina-
tion for admission.

Students lose their membership when absent one month. During
vacation, as well as during term time, Btudents are held amenable to
the authority of the school.

Those who have not a fixed purpose to improve their time, and an
earnest desire to fit themselves for usefulness, should notseek admission,
as the presence of such is not tolerated.

The Institution is riot sectarian in its religious instruction or influ-
ence, while aiming to bo thoroughly Christian. It is open to all stu-
dents of either sex.

Remittances in payment of bills should be made by money orders,
drafts, in registered letters, or by express.

Make money-orders and drafts payable, during 1885-80, to II.
Bumstead, and address all moneys to him. Receipts will be promptly
returned.

STUDENT AID.

Some students have been aided during the past years by contribu-
tions from the friends of popular education. It is expected that this
help will be continued.

The income of the King, the Cassedy, the Dodge, the Hastings, and
the Plainfield Scholarship Funds, is now available.

Persons should not come expecting to receive aid until they have
applied for it, ami received a favorable answer. Those applying should
state their pecuniary circumstances, their advancement in their studies,
ami, as far as possible, what pursuit they intend to follow.

It is expected that those who are aided, will, when able, return the
amount to aid others.

TEACHING IN VACATION.

Nearly all of those who are sufficiently advanced in scholarship,
aid themselves by teaching. The demand for teachers is usually in ex-
cess of the supply.

County Superintendents of Schools, and others desiring teachers
from this Institution, will find it for their interest to arrange their
schools, if possible, so as to include its summer vacation, viz: the
months of July and August and September. Communications from all
such officers will receive prompt attention.

Students of this Institution, desiring to teach, will be furnished
certificates of membership and standing. As a means of protection
against imposition, applicants for schools claiming to be from Atlanta
University should be required to exhibit such certificates.

It is expected that a majority of the students will engage in teach-
ing; and instruction in all departments is adapted to that end. Earnest
efforts are made to induce young men to prepare for the ministry.

GRAVES LIBRARY.

By the liberality of the late R. R. Graves, Esq., of New York, and
a few other friends, the library now contains over six thousand volumes.
Mr. Graves also gave a permanent endowment of five thousand dollars,
which insures its steady growth.

In connection with the Library is a Reading Room, well supplied
with the leading papers and periodicals of the country, and the students
have free access to both.

APPARATUS.

A good beginning has been made in procuring Philosophical Appa-
ratus. Enough has been obtained for illustrating some of the simpler
principles of Natural Science, and also instruments for Surveying and
Engineering purposes.

An excellent telescope and microscope have been secured, largely
by the gift of friends.

MUSIC.

Facilities for instruction in both Vocal and Instrumental Music are
ample. The elements of Vocal Music are taught without extra charge,
by the Tonic Sol-fa Method.

For practice in Instrumental Music, there are four organs and two
pianos. (See expenses.)

26 Atlanta Unh'trsitx.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.

The boys of the College, College Preparatory and Normal courses,
are taught the use of tools. (See Mechanical Course, p. 21, and Knowles
Industrial Building, p. 28.)

The hoys are also taught some of the principles of farming and
gardening. Attention is given to the raising and care of stock, to the
raising of fodder crops, their comparative value and fitness for this soil
and climate. The cultivation of vegetables is encouraged by competi-
tion and prizes for the best results.

The girls are taught various branches of household science, such as
plain sewing, dressmaking, cooking, and nursing the sick.

GOVERNMENT.

Discipline is administered with firmness and impartiality, and aims
to induce a high moral sentiment which shall be in itself a powerful
governing fores in the school.

When it becomes plain that a pupil has not a fixed purpose to
improve his time, and an earnest desire to fit himself for usefulness,
parents will be requested to take him home.

Suspension from school is resorted to when other means of correc-
tion fail.

When students are exposing themselves to permanent harm, it is
expected that high-minded individuals will be governed by the dictates
of conscience and common-sense, rather than by any false sense of
honor, in regard to disclosing the facts to the proper authority.

MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS.

Bach pupil should bring a Bible. It is needed for private reading,
for the Sunday-school, and for the weekly Bible lesson.

It is well to bring the text books formerly used.

All should be provided with warm clothing.

Young women must have rubbers and waterproofs.

Economy and good taste demand plain and simple clothing. Pa-
rents arc urged to co-operate with teachers in seeing that none other is
worn.

Parents will do well not to send clothing unless the request for it
is endorsed by the Matron. No extra dress is required for the close
of school.

Experience has taught that much evil comes from pupils receiving
food or large quantities of fruit or candy from home. They are, thero-
■or« not allowed to n-ceive it. Friend* trill please not send it.

Atlanta University. 27

Letters should be directed to Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.

Students who do not board at their homes are not 'allowed to board
out of the Institution, except by special permission.

Boarders are expected to furnish their own towels. s'

Keeping or using fire arms on the premises is forbidden.'

During term-time, students shall not, without permission, actively
participate in any political or mass meeting.

Students from a distance should arrange their journeys so as not
to arrive on the Sabbath, as they will not be admitted on that day.
When going away, they should apply for dismission in season to arrive
at home before the Sabbath.

Students are not allowed to make visits on the Sabbath, and their
friends are earnestly requested not to call upon them on that day.

The Institution is the result of benevolent efforts, and that it be de-
cidedly religious in its influence, without being sectarian, is the reasona-
ble expectation of its friends". Among the appropriate means for secur-
ing such results, the Sabbath, with its religious services, is most impor-
tant. The excitement of visiting friends. prevents, in a great. measure,
the benefit that.may.be derived from a proper observance ot the day.

It is desired to make the school, as far as possible, a home for those
who attend. Not only their intellectual,. but also their physical, social,
moral, and religions culture, receive careful. attention.

BUILDINGS.

The buildings are situated on high ground in the western part of
the city, and are surrounded by about sixty acres of land belonging to
the Institution.

DORMITORIES.— During the summer of 1869 a plain four storied,
brick building was erected, containing sleeping-rooms for about forty
pupils, and also a parlor, dining room, kitchen, etc. It was designed for
a girl's dormitory, but, during the first year, furnished all accommoda-
tions, both school and boarding, for boys and girls. In August of 1870,
another building of the same st}*le, but larger, containing sleeping-rooms
for about sixty boys, besides temporary school-rooms, was completed.
In the summer of 1871 this building was enlarged by a wing, providing
rooms for about forty additional pupils, and other school-rooms. In tne
summer' of 1880, a portion of the gift of Mrs. Stone, of Maiden, Mass.,
was used'in erecting a wing to the 'first named bnilding. This wing
provides for fifty additional pupils, arid has a large study hall.

In the summer of 1884, large rooms for' the accommodation of the
cooking classes and for other purposes^ *were added to this building.

STONE II A LL. —This building, erected in I882,stands between the
two dormitories, and is the gift of the late Mrs. Valeria G. Stone, of Mai-
den, Mass. [t contains the chapel and library ; the school-room, recitation
and lecture rooms for the more advanced students ; the philosophical and
chemical laboratory; offices, etc. This building and the two dorm ito-
riesare heated bj* steam from one large engine.

KNOWLES [NDUSTRIAL BUILDING.— This building, erected
in 1884, is tor t lie use of the Mechanical Department. It is a memorial of

the late Mr. L.J. Knowles.ot Won/ester, Mass.. his widow having appro-
priated from his estate $6,000 for its erection.

The building is of brick, one hundred by forty-four feet, and three
stories high. One room, forty by ri it v teet, is furnished with eighteen

spoke-shave, screw-driver, brad-awl. nail-set, oil stone and oil can.

At the beginning of the next school year, the rest ot the building
will be furnished with engine and machinery.

Other contributors toward the building and its furnishing are Mr.
F. C. Sessions, of Columbus, O., 8700.00 ; the Slater Fund, 8500.00; a
friend in New York, and friends in Massachusetts.

THE BARN.— A barn, erected in 1882, forty by sixty feet, with cel-
lar the same size, furnishes facilities for the development of the farm
work of the I nstitution.

PROJECTED BUILDINGS.— Efforts are being made to raise
momtv for a Cottage for the Housekeeping School, and also for a build-
ing for the Grammar School, so that it may give greater advantages as

a practice school for the Normal Department.

FUNDS.

The school being almost entirely without endowments, is depend-
ent upon the American Missionary Association tor all support not de-
rived from other sources.

The Legislature of Georgia, in 1S7<>, appropriated to this school

$8,000. The same amount was received in 1S71 and in 1873. In 1H74
a bill was almost unanimously passed making an annual appropriation
Of $8,000. The bill was entitled "All act equitably to adjust the claims
of the colored people to a share of the Agricultural Land Scrip." It

Atlanta University.

made the appropriation on condition that th Board of Visitors of the
University of Georgia should also visit this school; that the money
should not be paid by the Governor till a conimissfon of three members
of the Faculty of the University of Georgia had approved the plan of
the Trustees for the expenditure of the money, and that the school
should educate, free of charge for tuition, one pupil for every member
of the House of Representatives, to be nominated by the members. The
Constitutional Convention of 1877 recognized the constitutionality of
such legislation.

The Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund have appropriated $2,000
a year, a part of which is used for aiding students.

Mr. Tuthill King, of Chicago, has founded the King Scholarship
Fund of five thousand dollars.

Mr. J. H. Cassedy, of New York, has founded the Cassedy Scholar-
ship Fund of five thousand dollars.

The late Hon. Win. E.Dodge, of New York, has founded the Dodge
' Scholarship Fund of five thousand dollars.

A friend has founded the Hastings Scholarship Fund of one thou-
sand dollars.

The Plainfield Scholarship Fund consists of three hundred dollars,
and the Garfield Scholarship Fund, now being raised, has reached the
sum of $389.06.

WANTS.

Our most pressing needs at present are the following :

Donations for Student aid.

Donations for increased current expenses incident to the enlarge-
ment and improvement of our work.

Donations for additional buildings.

Endowment of professors' chairs.

An endowment of at least one hundred thousand dollars for cur-
rent expenses.

THE WORK OF OUR PUPILS.

Nearly all the graduates and many others who have left before
finishing their course, are engaged in teaching during a part or all of
the year. Besides these, during the three months of the summer vaca-
tion, a large number of students engage in teaching, and it isestimated
that over ten thousand children in Georgia are taught, annually, by
thoso who have been connected with this Institution.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EXAMINERS.

Atlanta, Ga., June 12, 1884.
To the Board of Visitors to the State and Atlanta Universities :

The undersigned, members of the general board of visitors, appointed by you to
attend the examination! of the Atlanta University, colored, submit the following
report :

The University is a large, flourishing and well conducted institution. It enjoys,
among other revenue, an annual income from the State of Georgia of $8,000, which
is used to pay teachers, and, for this, is under obligations to furnish free tuition to
one pupil for every Representative in the General Assembly, to be nominated by the
members. We do not find this privilege used to the extent that it should be, proba-
bly in ignorance of its existence. We would suggest that some provision be made
for informing the representatives and securing a wider utilization of this privilege.

The curriculum of studies, whose examination we attended, embraced Reading,
Geography, Grammar, Arithmetic, History, Languages, Temperance and Science in
the Grammar School ; and Science of Government, Latin, (Tacitus, De Senectute and
Virgil,) Natural Resources of United States, Geometry, Botany, Physics, Methods,
Elementary Algebra, Greek Lessons, Memorabilia, and Lieber's Civil Liberty, in the
Norma) Department and College.

There have been enrolled this past year at the institution 310 pupils, of which
201 took the Grammar School course; 74 the Normal course; 15 the Preparatory
College course, and 20 the final College course. Of the whole, 159 were males, and
151 females, 19] boarders, and 119 day pupils.

The students came from sixty-one counties of Georgia and eight other States.
They embraced all ages, from twelve years to maturity, and representatives from
every class of our colored people.

Your committee desire to express their gratification at the uniformly creditable
character of these examinations. Such scholarship as we have witnessed in so large
and reprerentative a body of the colored people has impressed us with their capaeity
for education, as well as for application to study. In the highest as well as the lowest
branches of the curriculum, we found correct information, mastery of detail and
ability to communicate clearly. Alike well posted, they seemed to be, both male and
female, in such difficult branches as advanced Latin and Greek, geometry, physics,
algebra and political science. The exan inations were honestly made, and the com-
mittee were allowed full latitude in testing the pupils' knowledge. Nor did it seem
to be a technical knowledge merely. It appeared to go to the substance of things.
It was evident that the teachers had instructed faithfully and the scholars had stud-
ied zealously and learned correctly. The result was very interesting and full of good
augury. It has seemed to be a favorable issue to the experiment of colored educa-
tion.

While the oral examinations were thus excellent, the few written examinations
■were equally meritorious and uniformly good, and the papers showed, in addition to
knowledge of the subjects, neat penmanship, correct grammar and accurate spelling,
as well as the valuable quality of tidiness.

There are 17 teachers in the University, and their fidelity and skill are conclu-
sively demonstrated in the harvest of their labors.

There are now some seventy graduates of this University engaged in teaching
their own people, maiiv of them principals of the colored high schools of the cities,
and in the present body of students there are seventy-four proposing to teach. W«

Atlanta University. 3 1

cannot but regard tbe normal branch of the University as one of its most valuable
departments. It is sought to send out a class of colored native teachers, not only
well up in scholarly qualifications, but to whose morals and views upon private pub-
lic duties the greatest care has been given.

Your committee would state that there was no department of this University
that struck them more favorably than the industrial education in its various forms.
It was with unusual interest that these industrial departments were examined.

The farm and garden department is well run. The boys are taught actual agri-
culture and gardening, and practice them an hour a day. A good farmer teaches
the boys how to plant every kind of produce, how to prepare the ground, to fertilize,
to work the crops, and to harvest. The pupils have competitive plats of ground, and
get prizes for the best results of their culture. A good feature is the test of grasses,
and instruction in pruning, grafting and budding. The most of the pupils are in-
formed on cultivating cotton and corn. This education increases and diversifies
their practical knowledge.

The department of carpentry is another excellent one. It is under the manage-
ment of a practical mechanic. There are seventeen sets of carpenter's tools, and
the boys are taught their use. A complete set of specimens of progressive work at-
tested their advancement in carpentry. All of the staple achievements in wood
work they are taught. An hour a day is devoted to this.

Philosophical apparatus for illustrating the simpler principles of natural science,
instruments for surveying and engineering purposes, telegraph battery, wires and
instruments, and other scientific appliances, are in use and are skiltully employed to
extend the practical acquirements of the students. ' Gradually the institution is
widening its facilities for teaching mechanical pursuits, and we may be pardoned for
expressing the decided opinion that every step in this direction will enhance the use-
fulness of the University, and direct its mission for the public benefit.

The housekeeping department, under a competent lady for the graduating girls,
we especially liked. The specimens of cooking that we tested gave us a good opin-
ion of her labors. We found bread, meat, pastry and cakes well cooked by the girls
under her instruction. A special cottage is used for these embryo housekeepers and
cooks, and they occupy it under the direction of this lady, taking turns in all the
duties. The girls are also taught plain sewing.

In conclusion, recognizing the enterprise, ability and honesty with which this
large and growing University is managed, and estimating it, thus conducted, not
only as a credit to the cause of education and the State, and a well known object of
interest and practical sympathy to philanthropists over the entire union, but as a po-
tential instrumentality of Christian civilization for a class ef our citizenship that de-
serve our most enlightened and thoughtful attention, your committee earnestly com-
mend the institution to a continuance of the fostering care of the State, and the sup-
port and esteem of good people everywhere.

Respectfully submitted.
