The work of founding Fisk University was begun in October, 1865, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, of New York City, and the Western Freedman's Aid Commission, of Cincinnati. At the beginning of the enterprise the purpose of establishing for the colored people of the South a university that should adequately provide for them the advantages of Christian education, to whatever extent tne capacity and energy of the race should in the future demand, was distinctly an¬ nounced. It has been the unfaltering purpose of the American Missionary As¬ sociation, and of those who have been its representatives in the Univer¬ sity, to make good, in letter and in spirit, this bold and comprehensive promise, made to an emancipated race in the bright morning of its new life. Fisk University thus aims to be a great center of the best Christian edu¬ cational forces for the training of the colored youth of the South, that they may be rightly disciplined and inspired for leaders in the vitally important work that needs to be done for their race in this country and on the continent of Africa. To found a college and thoroughly to establish among the colored youth the conviction of the absolute necessity of patient, long continued, exact, and comprehensive work in preparation for high positions and large responsibilities, seemed fundamental to the accomplishment of the true mission of the University. Solid, radical and permanent results have been sought in all methods of work. The University was incorporated under the laws of Tennessee, August 22, 1867. Its Charter confers upon the Board of Trustees all the rights, privi¬ leges and powers necessary for the perpetuation and enlargement of the University. Professional schools are to be established on the foundations laid by college instruction and discipline. In the accomplishment of this great mission Fisk University pleads for sympathy and generous financial aid. HISTORICAL OUTLINE 7 FISK MEMORIAL CHAPEL. HISTORICAL OUTLINE.

G. Merrill, D.D., elected President 1901 8 FISK UNIVERSITY The University owns a campus of thirty-five acres and eight buildings. Jubilee Hall was erected at a cost of over $100,000. It con¬ tains dormitories for girls and the boarding department of the University. 'Livingstone Hall was erected principally through the gift of $60,000 by Mrs. Valeria G. Stone, of Maiden, Mass. The Gymnasium and Workshop was erected in 1889, through a legacy of $4,000, left by Mr. Howard, of Philadelphia, but formerly of Nashville, and $1,000 contributed by Deacon Jabez Burrell, of Oberlin, Ohio. Theological Hall was erected in 1891, at a cost of $25,000. The money was furnished partly by a band of Jubilee Singers, and partly by the American Missionary Association. The Fisk Memorial Chapel was built in 1892 by a legacy by Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, which was devoted to the erection of a memorial building, in accordance with the wishes of his family. The Chapel gives a perfect audience room for one thousand per¬ sons in the regular seats. The President's House, which stands on the southeast corner of Jubilee Hall Square, owes its origin to Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk, the contribution from Miss Mary F. Penfield, a former teacher, of her house and lot near the University, which was sold for $2,000, and generous help from Mr. Paul D. Cravath, of New York City. The Daniel Hand Training School is a complete and most ad¬ mirably arranged house, and was erected at a cost of $5,000, in 1895, by the American Missionary Association, with money from the income of the Daniel Hand Fund. It gives a permanent home to the "School of Observation and Practice," and adds greatly to the facilities of the Normal Department. Magnolia Cottage contains four rooms, and is used by the De¬ partment of Music. The permanent building for this department is to be built near it. . The value of campus, buildings and apparatus exceeds $350,000. THE FUTURE 9 THE FUTURE. The first thirty-seven years of Fisk University have been marked by many signal providences, and its foundations have been securely laid in faith, prayer, labor and sacrifice. Much has been done to make possible great results in the future. THE IMPERATIVE DEMAND now is for greatly enlarged resources, to enable the University to build on the broad and solid foundations that have been laid so as to realize the hopes and expectations not only of those who have toiled and built thus far, and of those who have been giving generously and self-denyingly during these earlier years, but especially of those who are looking to Fisk University for the Christian educational advantages which they must have in order to fit themselves for the highest, noblest and most useful forms of work in the interests of their depressed and suffering race. It must be that the hopes and plans which the wonder¬ ful success of these years has created are to be realized. Humanly speaking, this depends entirely upon the enlarged lib¬ erality of those who* have the money, with which to equip and endow great schools of Christian learning. Up to the present time, salaries have been met largely by the American Missionary Association, but with the hope that the success of its work would create for the University friends who would' gladly endow it. Fisk University needs a liberal endowment to enable it to keep abreast with the best educational work. nlne professorships have been created, of which not a single one is fully endowed. The endowment thus far is as follows: For Instruction— Endowment President's Chair $12,480 40 Eleanor J. Swain Endowment Fund 20,586 10 Dr. William M. Taylor Memorial Fund 3401 00 IO FISK UNIVERSITY General Endowment Fund $1,764 08 Theological Endowment Fund 1,307 74 H. S. Bennett Professorship 1,000 00 Miss Lena E.

Rannev, Annuity Fund 5,000 00 Mrs. Carrie Kay Seymour, Scholarship 1,000 00 The Edward Russell Scholarship 1,000 00 Annual Contributions.—Scholarships of $50 each are solicited by letter or personal agency from churches, Sunday-schools, mis¬ sionary societies and individuals. For the continuance and en¬ largement of this source of supply we most earnestly plead. The Daniel Hand Fund.—During the present year the Amer¬ ican' Missionary Association has made an appropriation to the University from the income of this fund, which has enabled us to help sixt)r-three students. The most formidable obstacles encountered in the work of education among the colored people of the South arise from their poverty. But the readiness of many parents to sacrifice themselves for the education of their children, and the intense THE. FUTURE il desire for a good education on the part of a large number of > young men and women who have no reliance beyond their own efforts, are a constant source of surprise and admiration. To give encouragement and help to such persons is one of the most efficient and economical ways of helping to lift up and bless their race. The best success of Fisk University in its most useful forms of Christian educational work is dependent largely upon its ability to command money, so as to render financial help to earnest, struggling, worthy young men and women in securing their education. The income from all these sources has fallen far short of the sum required to meet the possibilities of the year. The principal on which student aid is given is a rigid one. Satisfactory evidence is required that the student is worthy; that he has done the best practicable to help himself; that he practices proper self-denial and economy, and that he is willing to render such service to the University in return as is required of him. It is believed to, be better for the student to earn the help as far as he can. For next year an increase of scholarships must be se¬ cured in order to meet the growing demands that are al¬ ready upon us. STATE NORMAL SCHOLARSHIPS. The State of Tennessee provides sixty-six scholarships in the interest of the education of colored youth within her borders. Each Senator has power to appoint two students to Normal scholarships for the two years of his term of office. Attendance at some recognized school for eight months is required as a condition of receiving the full benefit of the $50 help annually from one of these scholarships. Any student holding a scholarship appointment can come to Fisk University and receive a credit of $6.25 a month on account of a State scholarship. RECITATION HALL. The great central building which will bring our group of buildings into unity and give permanent reception rooms, begins to be greatly needed. Here is a great opportunity for beneficent 12 FISK UNIVERSITY work in the case of any one who desires to transform money into a permanent memorial that shall help to bless and elevate the colored youth of the South for many generations. HALL FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. The Department of Music has had 194 pupils in the school year 1903-1904. It is natural and right that Fisk should be the great center for the best education of colored youth in all branches of music. The present campus, as has been stated above, was secured, and Jubilee Hall was built, by the songs of the Jubilee Singers. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Department of Music in Fisk should be most popular and prosperous. Unfortunately, this Department is without a hall of its own. A suitable hall is, therefore, sorely needed for the good of the Department of Music and for the relief of other departments of work. We present this as a golden opportunity for some friend of the education of the colored youth in the South to invest in a hall that shall bear his or her name, and that shall give to our Department of Music facilities for enlargement and for great in¬ crease of efficiency. SPECIAL AGENCIES FOR ENDOWING THE UNIVERS¬ ITY AND ENLARGING ITS EQUIPMENT. First.—President Merrill has, during the year, devoted the larger portion of his time and effort to this work. Second.—Miss Frances L. Yeomans, Solicitor for the Stu¬ dent Aid Fund, has spent a large part of the year visiting churches and friends of the LTniversitv in the North. GENERAL INFORMATION 13 GENERAL INFORMATION. Letters asking for information should be addressed to Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. ADVANTAGES. (1) Healthfulness of location; (2) environment—Nashville is the great educational center of the South; (3) ease of com¬ munication, because of the numerous railroads which radiate from the city; (4) convenience and extent of accommodations furnished by the large buildings and extensive grounds; (5) the numerous courses of study established, which enable the student to be graded to the best advantage for success in study; (6) the presence of a large number of advanced students, who give tone and character to the social and intellectual life among^ the stu¬ dents; (7) the large number of professors and teachers. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR YOUNG WOMEN. Fisk University recognizes the absolute necessity of the right education of the girls and young women of the race whose ele¬ vation and advancement it was founded to promote. The highest interest of every race and community depends largely upon the intelligence, frugality, virtue and noble aspirations of its women. This general truth has unusual force in its application to the future well-being of the colored people of the South. To enable Fisk University to meet its responsibility in this direction special efforts have been made to provide the best possible ad¬ vantages for the education and training of girls and young women. In the class-room they have equal advantages with the young men, and can pursue any one of the courses of study established in the University. In addition, special provision has been made for them in a department peculiarly their own. 14 FISK UNIVERSITY JUBILEE HALL. One of the largest, best equipped, and most beautifully located school buildings in the South has been erected as the home of the young women. It is surrounded by eight acres of land, well laid out with walks, and planted with trees and shrubbery, which furnish ample grounds for healthful exercise and give retirement to their home life. ADDISON AVE. AND JUBILEE HALL. The Principal of the Women's Department has the general oversight and direction of this home life, and gives special in¬ struction and counsel regarding true womanly conduct and char¬ acter. An experienced woman is employed to look after the health of the young women, and to give individual advice. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR YOUNG MEN—LIVING¬ STONE MISSIONARY HALL stands on the second square south of Jubilee Hall, and is also commanding and beautiful for situation. It contains rooms for one hundred and twenty young men. The rooms are large, well GENERAL INFORMATION 15 furnished and heated by steam. There are large grounds for games and athletic sports. Livingstone Hall also contains a chapel, study room, library, museum, laboratory, classrooms, and the offices of the President and Treasurer. LIVINGSTONE HALL. THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT is conducted as a Christian home. The discipline is parental in character and aims to develop Christian manhood and woman¬ hood. The rules are few, and in general those of a well-reg¬ ulated household, and are administered with firmness and im¬ partiality. Each boarder is required to give a period a day, on the average, to some form of labor, as directed by the University. This arrangement, conducive to good health and right habits, renders it possible to keep the price of board at a lower rate than could otherwise be done. Minors committed to the care of the institution as boarders are not permitted to leave except by request of their parents or guardians. If dismissed for any cause, the parent or guardian will receive due notice and the reason of dismissal. The Boarding Department is closed during the summer vaca¬ tion. Students from a distance desiring to remain in Nashville i6 FISK UNIVERSITY during the summer will be assisted as far as possible by the officers of the University in obtaining suitable boarding places. Students from outside of the city are not admitted to the University unless they enter the Boarding Department, except in special cases, for which permission must be obtained of the Faculty. RELIGIOUS SERVICES. The aim of the founders and supporters of Fisk University has always been to make its students strong, earnest, broad- minded Christian men and women, who shall give their lives to the uplifting and benefiting of their people. The distinctively religious services are on the same plane of required attendance as are regular recitations, as far as circum¬ stances will permit. Many of our pupils live with their parents, and are under their care, except during school hours. Such pupils usually attend regular services on the Sabbath with their friends, but are always welcome at the services of the Univer¬ sity. For those who are under the direct care of the University there is provided a regular church service on Sabbath morning, conducted by the pastor, a Sunday-school at 2 130 p. m., and on Wednesday night a meeting for social worship. There is a very efficient Society of Christian Endeavor among the young women, and there are five Circles of King's Daughters. The young men have a large and active Young Men's Christian Association; also a White Cross League of 272 members, many of whom have graduated, but are still counted as members of this League. A missionary meeting is held the second Wednesday evening of each month. Its object is to disseminate information about missionary work in all lands, but more especially in Africa, and thus to create an intelligent and earnest missionary zeal among the students. Letters of great interest and profit are occasionally received from graduates and former teachers in mission fields. APPARATUS AND MUSEUM. The University has made a good beginning in securing the necessary apparatus in the various branches of Natural Science. GENERAL INFORMATION 17 Laboratory work in Elementary Chemistry and Mineralogy is now systematized and established. The Museum contains a well arranged collection of over three thousand specimens in Natural History, Geology, Mineralogy and Ethnology. The wants of the growing College Department call for liberal additions in apparatus, museum, specimens, models, books of ref¬ erence, charts and diagrams. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. The Library contains 7,700 bound volumes and a large num¬ ber of periodicals. The interest of an endowment of $1,750, and a fee of fifty cents a year charged for the use of the Library, give a small annual income for the purchase of books. The Library is carefully catalogued by the card method. The Reading Room is an adjunct of the Library, and this year has been provided with twenty-eight of the best magazines and thirty-five weekly and daily newspapers. LITERARY SOCIETIES. The Union Literary Society admits young men from all the departments below the College. The Excelsior, Extempo and Dunbar Clubs are organized among the young men of the College Department. The Decagynian and D. L. V. Clubs hold their meetings in Ju¬ bilee Hall. These societies furnish their members admirable drill in writ¬ ing and speaking; also discipline in parliamentary usage. The students, and the teachers as well, take a just pride in maintain¬ ing in them, a high standard of literary work. LECTURES. A regular course of popular lectures and entertainments is maintained during the school year. The following persons have appeared in the course during the present year: Prof. Richard Jones, Vanderbilt University. Ira Landrith, D.D., Chicago, 111. Wm. M. Anderson, D.D., Nashville. o i8 FISK UNIVERSITY S. A. Mynders, State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Tennessee. Prof. A. T. Barrett, Peabody Normal. Prof. H. A. Peterson, Peabody Normal. Prof. Fred. W. Mueller, Tarkio, Mo. Prof. Geo. W. Andrews, Oberlin, Ohio. Frederic Douglass, Washington, D. C. Prof. A. M. Harris, Vanderbilt University. PUBLIC RHETORICAL EXERCISES. Six of these are given, so that each member of the College classes, and of the Senior Normal Class, has the opportunity of appearing once during the year before a public audience with an oration, essay or declamation. These exercises are largely attended by the people of the city, and furnish excellent drill in composition and public speaking. THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS. Both the College and the Normal Alumni Associations are seeking to assist in the endowment of the University. An effort is made to secure an annual contribution on the part of each member of one per cent of the year's income. A circular letter is sent out by the Associations each year, and the bond of fraternity and loyalty among graduates is strengthened by this united effort to enlarge the influence and usefulness of their Alma Mater. More than $1,600 has been contributed by the College Alumni, and over $300 by the Normal Alumni. The hope is that year by year the privilege of making this annual free-will offering will be more and more prized, and that every graduate will share in it, so that the amount of income from this source may steadily increase. THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS. This degree will be conferred on Bachelors of Arts of Fisk University or other colleges, only 011 the presentation of evidence that they have made satisfactory progress in liberal studies after graduation. In general, the requirements will be the equivalent of a year of systematic study, not professional. GENERAL INFORMATION 19 Graduates of other colleges must spend some time in resident study before they can receive a second degree. For graduates of Fisk University the following plan has been adopted as best suited to present conditions: Each professor is authorized to arrange with any graduate of the Classical Department a course of advanced work in any of the lines of study included in his pro¬ fessorship. After conferring with the student, he will determine the authors to be studied, fix the limit of time for preparation, and arrange for examinations. Each professor will submit his conclusions to the Faculty for approval, and when the aggregate of approved work by any student shall be considered equivalent to a year of regular study, he will be recommended for the Degree of Master of Arts. This plan gives a broad range of subjects from which to make selection, and enables any graduate, though engaged in professional life or in business, to secure his second degree. It is hoped by the Faculty that this arrangement will encour¬ age and stimulate the graduates of the University to systematic study. OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHING. Students who are sufficiently advanced in scholarship earn money by teaching public schools during vacation, and at other times, thus doing good to others while benefiting themselves. County Superintendents of Schools and others desiring .teach¬ ers from this institution will find it to their interest to arrange their schools, if possible, so as to have them in session during the months of June, July, August and September, as the Summer vacation extends through most of these months. Communica¬ tions asking for teachers will receive prompt attention. GENERAL REGULATIONS. The privileges of the University are offered alike to all, with¬ out distinction of race, sex, or religious belief. Every student should be present on the first day of the school year and continue until its close. All new students must come prepared to take an examination in the English branches and in such other studies as they may desire to have accepted as equiv¬ alents for similar courses in the University curriculum. 20 FISK UNIVERSITY Monday and Tuesday, September 26 and 27, 1904, have been set apart for such examinations, and it is especially important that all new students be present at that time. Those who are so unfortunate as to be unable to do this will be received at any time on presentation of a satisfactory reason for their delay, but they cannot expect to do as good work as those who are present at the beginning of the term. New students and old students having conditions must appear for examination and classification on Monday and Tuesday of the first week of the year. The regular recitations will begin on Wednesday, and students not registering on or before that day will be charged an extra fee of one dollar, unless previously excused. A similar charge will be made in case of tardiness at the beginning of the second or third terms of the year. Students who live at their homes or with their friends, and those who, by special permission of the Faculty, are allowed to board in families, are expected to observe, in general, the same regulations respecting attendance upon religious services, con¬ duct, deportment, and habits of study as those living in the Uni¬ versity. 1 Students absenting themselves from their classes, or leaving the institution without permission, render themselves liable to discipline. All students are subject to the discipline of the University for immoral or unworthy conduct during absence from the insti¬ tution. The .following practices are strictly forbidden: Profanity, bet¬ ting and gambling, the use of ardent spirits as a beverage, and the use of tobacco; also card-playing and dancing. No student is allowed to keep or use pistols or other weapons, or any fireworks, in or about the University. Students are expected to avoid traveling on the Sabbath. The clothing of students must be warm, becoming, plain, and substantial. Those who bring extravagant and unnecessary finery will be required to lay it aside while in the University. 'Every young woman must have a waterproof and rubbers. The Faculty has this year voted to adopt a uniform for all the stu¬ dents in Jubilee Hall, to be worn on all public occasions from the time they arrive until the close of the year. GENERAL INFORMATION 21 This uniform consists, first, of a white shirt waist suit, skirt and waist without trimming except tucks. This suit can be made at home. Second, a navy blue shirt waist suit, to be bought and made in Nashville. As this is to serve for all public occasions, there will be no use for other than everyday dresses; hence the price, twelve dollars and a half, is in the direction of economy for the student. The hats will be furnished at Jubilee Hall at the lowest whole¬ sale rates. Students in'the Boarding Department are expected to furnish their own table napkins, toilet soap and towels. The young ladies will not be allowed to wear any hats except plain ones, with simple trimming. ' No silk or satin dress skirts or waists, and no silk or ribbon sashes will be allowed. Elaborate and expensive trimmings for dresses are forbidden. The graduation gowns shall be of uniform material, purchased under the direction of a committee of the Faculty. No silk, satin or lace trimmings will be allowed on these gowns. Light shoes and gloves are forbidden on the occasion of graduation. In addition to these rules, we would urge upon parents and guardians to provide comparatively small amounts of pocket money to students, as there are but few incidental expenses. The young men must provide themselves with rubber-soled shoes for the required gymnasium work. Suitable shoes can be purchased in Nashville for about fifty cents a pair. A reference Bible is a required text-book, and must be pur¬ chased with other text-books, unless the student is already pro¬ vided with one. All text-books used in the University can be bought at the Treasurer's office, and students should come pre¬ pared to get them. They are sold for cash only. Every student, by entering the University, is regarded as giv¬ ing a sacred promise to observe these and all other established regulations. FIRE PROTECTION. Iron fire-escapes have been placed upon all our dormitories at a large expense during the last year. This was done to "make assurance-doubly sure." Our buildings, at the outset, were con- fi.sk university structed for the safety of their occupants in this regard. V\ e have also ropes and buckets filled with water on each floor. As our buildings are heated by steam, danger from stoves is elimi¬ nated. We furnish and require the use of safety-matches, purchase guaranteed oil for our lamps; in fact, have constantly used every human precaution to protect the lives of those entrusted to our care. TO THE GATE IN JUBILEE GROUNDS. NECESSARY EXPENSES 23 NECESSARY EXPENSES. Fisk University aims to place a good education within the reach of those who are dependent largely upon their own efforts. The charges to students do not cover one-half the actual cost of the advantages furnished them by the University. The balance is provided for by voluntary contributions of Christian and phi¬ lanthropic people, given through the American Missionary Asso¬ ciation, or directly to the University, and by help from the Daniel Hand Fund.

Students rooming in the University are required to deposit fifty cents with the Treasurer, which will entitle them to a key to their room. This money will be refunded on return of the key, when students leave the University. All payments must be made at least monthly in ad¬ vance, unless by special arrangement with the treasltrer. Students should not come expecting to pay any part of their expenses by extra work, unless they have previously made defi¬ nite arrangements for doing so with the Treasurer. Those who apply for extra work should state their age, pecu¬ niary circumstances, and advancement in study. Only a very limited number can be aided by extra -work, and no pledges are given to continue such aid to a student who proves unworthy of it, or who does not do the work assigned in a man¬ ner satisfactory to the officers of the University. No promise of help is made for more than one year. Those who have received warrants or certificates of indebt¬ edness for teaching, or State Normal Scholarships, will be ad¬ mitted to the Boarding Department, other conditions being com¬ plied witlj, by depositing their warrants, certificates, or normal scholarships with the Treasurer till the money is obtained, pro¬ vided it be within reasonable length of time. 25 Remittances of money in payment of bills, or for deposit, should be made by post-office money orders, bank drafts, regis¬ tered letters, or by express. Money orders and drafts should be made payable to E. C. Stickel, Treasurer, and all money sent to him. Remittances will be promptly acknowledged. Students are required to pay for any injury done to the rooms they occupy, or to furniture, or any other University property, through intention, carelessness or neglect. When students wish to leave they must give timely notice, and settle all accounts with the University. No student is en¬ titled to an honorable dismissal unless his accounts are properly settled. VIEWS ABOUT NASHVILLE. 26 FISK UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS OF STUDY. THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. FACULTY. James G. Merrill, President. Cornelius W. Morrow, Roscoe A. Grant, James Bond. Theological Hall contains three large lecture rooms, a library and reading room, and thirty-seven dormitory rooms, all of which are light and airy and heated by steam. Theological students in Fisk have access to the University library and reading room; but in1 addition they have a reading room of their own, with a reference library of over eight hundred volumes. They also enjoy the privileges of lectures, entertain¬ ments, and the general social life of the University, and, by spe¬ cial arrangement with the Faculty, can pursue studies in the Literary Department. Tuition is free. Cost of room, light, heat and board, $10.50 per calendar month. We invite correspondence on the part of young men who de¬ sire to qualify themselves for the work of the ministry. Letters may be addressed to President J. G. Merrill. THE THREEFOLD PURPOSE OF THE DEPARTMENT. Fisk University has always accepted as a part of its mission the work of helping to provide an educated and consecrated m'rri- istry for the people in whose interests it was founded. A fair percentage of its graduates have taken courses of study in North¬ ern theological seminaries, and are doing effective work in the ministry. There are, however, many advantages in having min¬ isters educated in the midst of the people for whom' they are to labor, and in vital contact with them. Many theological stu- THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT 27 dents cannot go to Northern seminaries for their instruction. Those in Southern seminaries can do direct religious work dur¬ ing the vacations, and, to a limited extent, during term time. Theory and practice can tnus be combined, to the mutual ad¬ vantage of student and people. This theological school is under Congregational auspices, but, like all Congregational institutions, it does not limit itself to the denomination. Students from any evangelical church will be welcomed, and will find the emphasis of instruction laid upon the doctrines in which all Christians are agreed. Wherever contro¬ verted matters come up, both sides will be presented, and the student will be urged to form independent convictions. As a matter of fact, this school has trained not only Congregational students, but those who were looking forward to serving churches of other denominations, and it is hoped that this element in our student body will increase. I. REGULAR THEOLOGICAL COURSE. This course extends over a period of three years, and is open to those who have received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or who pass a satisfactory examination in Greek, Psychology, Logic, Moral Science, Political Economy, English Literature and Rhet¬ oric. LTpon the completion of this course the degree of Bach¬ elor of Divinity is conferred. II. ENGLISH THEOLOGICAL COURSE. This course is provided for those who have taken Normal or High School courses, or have done equivalent work without grad¬ uation. Under the present conditions of educational and Chris¬ tian work, there are many who have the natural qualifications for success in the ministry and also the requisite moral and spir¬ itual qualifications, who have not been so favored that they could take a course in college, and yet are eager to undertake the work of preaching the gospel. The aim of the English course is to give' such the best opportunities possible to prepare for their work. It covers essentially the ground of the regular course, with the exception of the Hebrew and Greek. The course occu¬ pies two years, and those completing it receive a diploma with¬ out a degree. 28 FISK UNIVERSITY III. BIBLE COURSE FOR LAY WORKERS. The churches greatly need educated men who will give their whole time to the ministry. They need in much greater numbers, however, Christian laymen, earning their living in some other occupation than the ministry, but ready and able to conduct Sunday-schools, deliver religious addresses, give Bible readings, and in other ways to exert a positive, systematic and intelligent Christian influence. The graduates of a Christian college are naturally looked to for such work, and Fisk University has no dearer hope for its sons and daughters than to find them fore¬ most in such labors. For all of its students, in all its courses and classes, Bible study is provided, and to the students of the three higher classes of the College Course special electives are open. The subjects are changed from year to year, but the course offered will substantially cover the following field: 1 ne Life of Christ, the Teachings of Christ, ]ytessianic Prophecy, the Apos¬ tolic Church, the Teachings of the Apostles, New Testament Introduction, the Old Testament as History and as Literature, Old Testament Introduction. Training will also be given in the public utterance of Christian truth, in prayer-meeting work and lay preaching. Such a course, having the Bible constantly as its center, cannot fail to be of great value to all who seek Chris¬ tian influence as the highest form of power. More than this will doubtless be desired and sought by some who have no thought of entering the ministry, but who intend, for example, to teach. Recognizing the educating power of the¬ ology, "the queen of the sciences," a;id the vital interest of man's history as a religious thinker and builder, they will be ready to take post-graduate work for a year along the lines in which they are most interested. Such additional training would be as val¬ uable for young women as for young men; it would not only further discipline the mind, and so increase the teacher's effi¬ ciency, but would furnish the material which has always been found the most directly valuable in influencing men to accept the highest ideals of life. THE THEOLOGICAL CURRICULUM. The following is an outline of the regular course, as it would be taken by one giving his whole time to it. Students taking this Bible Course in the college years can finish the regular course in THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT two additional years. The order of studies, and in some measure the subjects themselves, will be subject to such modifications as may be required to adjust them to the needs and acquirements of the theological students. Junior Year.—Greek Testament (readings in the Pauline •epistles) ; Homiletics and Pastoral Theology; Old Testament as history and as literature, with study of "Introduction." Middle Year.—Greek Testament for half year (readings in John, Peter, etc.) ; Elements of Hebrew for half year; Systematic and Biblical Theology; Life of Christ, Teachings of Christ, Mes¬ sianic Prophecy. Senior Year.—Hebrew Testament (readings in history, Psalms and prophecy); Church History, general and special; History of the Apostolic Church, Teachings of the Apostles, New Testament Introduction.

The work of this course includes the study of the "Art of Teaching," Methods of Teaching English Branches in Element¬ ary Grades, School Management, Child Study, and requires one year of Practice Teaching in the Model School. It is a part of the regular work of the Normal Course, and is an elective in the Junior College year. In addition to the regular class work, much individual help is given in supervision of teaching and lesson plans, class lessons in criticism, personal suggestions and opportunity to observe class work. Many of the latest books on teaching, methods and child study have been added to the College Library for the benefit of this work. Educational periodicals are kept at the Model School, and Practice Teachers are urged to inform themselves on cur¬ rent topics of interest to teachers. A Mothers' Meeting is held each month for the purpose of securing the co-operation of parents in school work and as an object lesson for students. All Practice Teachers are required to attend these meetings and to give such assistance as may be required in the rendering of programmes. All applicants for work in this department must pass a satis¬ factory examination in English branches. This examination is given on the last Friday of November. BIBLE STUDY.

Third Year—Poetical and Prophetical Books and Inter-Testa¬ ment History. Junior—The Life of Christ. Senior—The Propagation of the Gospel. 38 FISK UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSION. A growing demand for a summer session at Fisk University resulted in such a session in 1902 and 1903. Terms of five weeks instruction in Pedagogy, Child Nature, School Management, and Methods of Teaching the English Branches were carried on to the satisfaction of those who attended. Between sixty-five and seventy teachers were enrolled, and the greatest interest and en¬ thusiasm prevailed throughout the sessions. At the request of these and other teachers, plans are being made for a similar ses¬ sion the coming summer. The work will be planned with special reference to the needs of and requests of teachers in public schools. The number of in¬ structors will be increased; a Boarding Department will be open; the beautiful grounds of Jubilee Hall will afford a com¬ fortable and pleasant place in which to spend a few weeks of study and recreation, and it is hoped that many teachers will take advantage of the opportunity offered to fit themselves for more efficient teaching, and to raise the standard of the public schools. EXPENSES—(FOR SUMMER SESSION). Tuition.—For the entire session, $5, payable on entering. Board.—Room and table board for ladies at $3 per week. This will include table board, furnished room, lights, laundry of bed¬ ding and towels. No personal laundry will be included. Table board will be furnished those who may room elsewhere at $2.25 per week. Text-books.—The text-books used will be kept at the Uni¬ versity office. The following courses of study are offered.: Pedagogy, Child Nature, Literature, Science, Vocal Music, Reading, Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar and United States History. The Model School will continue its usual work for a half ses-' sion each day from 9 a. m. to 12 mv giving teachers opportunity t"> cb:erve class work. Each instructor will teach classes m his branch to illustrate methods presented. COLLEGE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT 39 COLLEGE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. FACULTY. James G. Merrill, President. Helen C.

Carrie B. Chamberlin, Mrs. C. W. Morrow, Susan A. Cooley, Fred J. Work. This department is a necessity in order to meet the wants of the people in whose interest this University has been especially founded. It provides for a thorough and systematic course of study in the common branches, and lays a good foundation in correct habits of study for the advanced courses. Written examinations in this department occur at the end of each term, which, averaged with daily scholarship, give the term grade. An average of the term grades in each study gives the year's standing and determines promotions. Any pupil falling below 75 per cent in any study will be conditioned in that studv; falling below 75 per cent in two or more studies will fail of pro¬ motion. A CLASS. Fall Term. Mental Arithmetic.
