ANNUAL CATALOGUE
HISTORY.
Every enterprise has many beginnings whose absolute date and
character are indeterminable. One of the apparent movements that
stand in organic relation to Wilberforce University is dated Septem¬
ber 21,1844 when a committee was appointed in the Ohio Conference
of the A. M. E. Church to select a site for a seminary of learning on
the "manual labor plan." One hundred and seventy-two acres,
twelve miles west of Columbus, were purchased, and Union Sem¬
inary was projected.
On Sept. 28, 1853, the Cincinnati Conference of the M. E. Church
selected a committee which recommended "the establishment of a
literary institution of high order for the education of colored peo¬
ple generally" ; and oil May, 1856, "Tawawa Springs," a beautiful
Summer resort in Greene Co., Ohio, was purchased, and Wilberforce
University had location. By concurrent action, the M. E. and the
A. M. E. Conferences of Ohio entered into co-operation for the suc¬
cess of the University. It was incorporated Aug. 30, 1856, and a
board of twenty-four trustees selected, including Gov. Salmon P.
Chase, President E. S. Rust, Ashland Keith, of the colored Baptist
denomination, and Bishop D. A. Payne ; ami the broad principle
adopted that there shall never be any distinction among the trus¬
tees, faculty, or students, on account of race or color.
The University began its work in Oct., 1856. under Eev. M. P.
Gaddis, as principal. He was succeeded by Prof. James K. Parker,
and he, by Dr. Eichard S. Eust, the first president. During the first
epoch, which terminated with the Civil War, the number of students,
largely the children of southern planters, varied from seventy to a
hundred. Eevivals were experienced, and commendable progress
made in literary culture. The War closed the school, and the M. E.
Church withdrew from the field.
On March 10,1863,Bishop D. A. Payne purchased the property for
$10,000, and associated with himself Eev. James A. Shorter (afterwards
Bishop) and Prof. Jno. G. Mitchell, in the re-organization of the Uni¬
versity, Bishop Payne becoming President.
The Union Seminary property was sold, and proceeds, faculty, and
pupils merged into the larger enterprise. On the day that Lincoln was
assassinated, the main building was burned, and the growing work
checked. But the heroic founder and his associates redoubled their
Rt. Rev. Abram Grant, D. D.,
President of Board of Trustees.

efforts. Congress in 1870 appropriated $25,000 ; Chief Justice Salmon
P. Chase bequeathed $10,000; the Charles Avery estate added $10,-
000, and the American Unitarian Association gave for lectures $6,000.
During this administration, $92,875 was the agregate of receipts
from all sources, including loans, funds returned to the treasury etc.,
and the registration of students reached 1553, an average of 113.
For thirteen years Bishop Payne presided over the affairs of the
University. He called to his aid such instructors as Dr. Wm. Kent,
of England ; Prof. T. E. Suliot, of Edinburg, Scotland ; Dr. J. G.
Mitchell, of Oberlin; Prof. W. B. Adams, of Amherst ; Prof. B. K.
Sampson, of Oberlin, and Prof. J. P. Shorter, of Wilberforce, Ohio.
Among the ladies who rendered valuable service, were Miss Esther T.
Maltby and Miss Sarah Jane Woodson, of Oberlin, Mrs. Alice M.
Adams, of Holyoke, and Miss Mary McBride, of Oswego.
From under Bishop Payne's hands went out 26 graduates, inclu¬
ding Dr. J. T. Jenifer, Dr. T. H. Jackson, Prof. J. P. Shorter, Bishop B.
F. Lee, Dr. J. W. Beckett, Pres. S. T. Mitchell, Miss Hallie Q. Brown>
Hon. C. L. Maxwell, the Misses Copeland, and others of large ac¬
quirements and wide influence, known over the continent. In the
under-graduate column were Bishop Cain, Bishop Salter, Dr. Wm.
Hunter, Poet A. A. Whitman, and others. Pres. Payne left his im¬
pression on every line of development. He organized the Church of
the Holy Trinity, the Society of Inquiry on Missions, and the Wo¬
men's College Aid Society, and secured a Ward museum worth $2,000.
Rev. B. F. Lee, now Bishop of this district, succeeded to thepres-
idency in 1876. In all the elements of moral, mental and physical
ability, of devotion to a great enterprise, of personal sacrifice, of
tireless industry, of uprightness of character, of accurate judgment,
he was a worthy successor to a great founder. In 1887, Prof. Scar¬
borough, a graduate of Oberlin College, was appointed to the Chair
of Latin and Greek, and Mrs. S. C. Bierce (now Scarborough) of the
Oswego Normal School, was called to the principalship of the Nor¬
mal Department, which was rapidly developed under her manage¬
ment. She was also instructor of Natural Sciences, and instituted
the movement which resulted in obtaining the present Museum,
for which Bishop Payne secured the funds. Through the Missionary
Department of the church, the island of Hayti was brought into close
relations, and five of her sons entered upon various courses oC study.
President Lee continued at the head of affairs eight years, reg¬
istering 1,179 students, an average,of 147, and graduating 41. There
was entered as receipts during the period $79,202.80.

ANNUAL CATALOGUE
This administration gave to the world a brilliant galaxy of cul¬
tured young men and women, for the pulpit, for the school room, and
for general service. It included such graduates as Rev. E, A. Clark,
Prof, of Sciences at Wilberforce University; F. S. Delany, Princi¬
pal of Central High School, Louisville, Ky.; J. R. Gibson, Principal
High School, Galveston, Texas ; G. W. Prioleau, Chaplain 9th Cavalry
U. S. A. ; I. M. Burgan, President Paul Quinn College; J. R. Scott,
Ex-President Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla. ; Miss
Georgiana White; Mrs. Alice Cary, Principal of one of the largest
of public schools in Atlanta ; Mrs. Anna Jones Coleman, and others.
The University reached its highest enrollment, for the first twenty
years, in 1879-80, of 171 students. All through these years, revivals
occurred with -the return of every session, and hundreds of young
men and young women learned life's noblest lesson of consecrated
purpose to the cause of God and mankind.
In 1884, President Lee accepted the editorial chair of the " Chris¬
tian Recorder," Philadelphia, Pa., from which he arose to the high¬
est station in his church—the bishopric.
His successor is the present incumbent, S. T. Mitchell, of the
class of '73. The University has continued a steady growth through
the subsequent years. 2,924 students have registered, an average
of 209. The year 1896 showed the highest enrollment, 334. 249
students have graduated from literary and 210 from industrial cour¬
ses. Nine have completed the military course, and are officially en¬
tered in the United States Army register. There has been raised in
round numbers $300,125. The property has increased in value from
$13,500 when purchased by Bishop Payne, to $130,000 (including en¬
dowments) in 1892. On April 5, 1898, the Legislature of Ohio,' by a
unanimous vote in both Houses, placed at the credit of the Endow¬
ment Fund of the University, the Randolph Fund of $6,643.
On March 19, 1887, the Legislature passed a law establishing
the "Normal and Industrial Department." It is supported entirely
by the State, and over it the State exercises controlling power. It
is placed on the same financial basis as the other State educational
institutions, receiving a levy of one-hundredth of a mill on the
grand tax duplicate, about $17,800 per annum. No higher indorse¬
ment of a colored institntion can be found in the United States.
Prof. J. P. Shorter is the Superintendent.
On June 18,1891, Payne Theological Seminary was founded. It
has its own board of directors and its own faculty. Bishop Payne

was its first dean, his successor being Dr. Jno. G. Mitchell, one of the
founders of Wilberforce University. With him were associated Prof.
W. S. Scarborough and the Rev. G. W. Prioleau on the first Faculty.
Tuition is free. The Seminary is supported by the A.M. E. Church.
It has a faculty of three, and presents both an English and a Reg¬
ular course. We enter upon record the Seminary's and the Univer¬
sity's great loss in the death of Dean Mitchell, March 23, 1900.
There is only one colored institution that has a United States
Military Department. On January 9, 1894, President Cleveland de¬
tailed Lieut. John H. Alexander to organize and instruct in such a
Department at Wilberforce.
His sudden death created a vacancy which was filled by the ap¬
pointment of Lieut. Charles Young, the only remaining commission¬
ed colored officer in the United States Army. Lieut. Young render¬
ed excellent service to the University, not only in a military capacity,
but also in giving gratuitous instruction in French and Trigonometry.
GENERAL DATA.
The attendance is drawn from 30 States, or more, aside from Can¬
ada, Africa, West Indies, Mexico aud Jamaica and South America. In
inter-collegiate oratorical contests, Wilberforce has won twice in Ohio
—the only times entered, and furnishing the only colored contest¬
ants. She received a medal for her exhibit at New Orleans, a diplo-
main Paris, and a medal and diploma at the World's Fair at Chicago.
President Wm. McKinley and Frederick Donglass are on the
list of her honorary Alumni.
A Telephonic connection within the University secures the im¬
mediate transmission of all telegrams. Students and other persons
on reaching Xenia, will reduce expenses by using the depot telephone
or proceeding to the Telephone Exchange, calling up Wilberforce,
and ordering conveyance from the University.

Students will not pe readmitted to the University at a subsequent
session unless they have received the faculty's indorsement of good
character.
Students from other schools must present certificates of honor¬
able dismission from the proper authorities.
EXAMINATIONS.
For admission to advanced standing, candidates will be thor¬
oughly examined in the studies of the prvious year, or their equiv¬
alents.
At the close of each term, the classes are examined in the stu¬
dies of the term. Important examinations are held at various times
throughout the term. Both oral and written examinations are held
at the end of the year.
No student will be permitted to continue with his class unless
his record during the term and at the examination show good
scholarship, and reach the average required by the faculty.
The University library contains about 5,500 volumes. The per¬
sonal library of the late Eev. J. P. Morris is a valuable addition.
Excellent libraries belong both to Payne Seminary and the N. & I.
Department.
Miss Hallie Q. Brown continues her agency in England and Scot¬
land in the interest of Douglass Memorial Hall to be used for libra¬
ry purposes. The erection of this needed building is assured.
Friend are invited to co-operate.
MUSEUM.
Museum Hall was fitted up in 1876 for the reception of a Museum
valued at $2,000. The Museum contains excellent collections in Bot¬
any,Mineralogy, Paleontology,Lithology and Zoology. The selections
have been made with reference to working value and usefulness, and
afford students an opportunity for that scientific study which can
only be pursued successfully with suitable specimens. We solicit
from our friends such contributions as will add to the interest and
value of our collections.
The Art Room contains plaster models of statuary to the value
of $200, the gift of Rev. J. Ware, of Boston; also the private art
collection of Bishop Payne. We desire to increase these collections
and will gratefully acknowledge all gifts.

LABORATORY.
The Labratory has been recently enlarged, and is a valuable
auxiliary to the study of the sciences.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The late Mr. A. I. Powers, of Pottsdam, N. Y., established an
endowment ^und for two scholarships, and the late Mrs. Mary E.
Monroe endowed the Monroe scholarships. The bequest of Mrs.
Elizabeth T. Woodyear creates the Noah and Elizabeth Tillotson
scholarships, the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church maintains
others, while the will of Bishop Payne makes provisions for seven
Payne scholarships.
NEEDS.
Many of the students need a helping hand to enable them to con'
tinue their course; hundreds of letters imploring aid and opportu¬
nity for work, that an education may be obtained, are annually re¬
ceived by the President and Secretary. Great good would be 'accom¬
plished in this direction by contributions. While the Institution,
through its officers, will do all in its power to encourage worthy stu¬
dents who have little or no means, yet it cannot promise any definite
amount of work or support without work for any definite number
of students. wlll not our freinds aid us in helping the needy and
deserving ones ?
We are in need of additional apparatus for the department of Sci¬
ence and applied Mathematics. We need funds for the improvement of
buildings and grounds and especially for the erection of dormitories.
Scientific and Philosophical works that bring discovery and dis¬
cussion down to the latest hour, are needed as reference-books for
professors and students. It is believed that no better investments
can be made than to devote funds to the purposes mentioned.
SOCIETIES.
There are maintained by the students foui literary societies—the
Sodalian, the Philomathean, the Payne, and the Dodds—a Y. M. C. A.,
a Y. W. C. A., a Y. P. S. C. E., a missionary society, the Orpheus
Orchestra, an Athletic Association and the Wilberforce Brass Band.
There is a Woman's College Aid Society, the oldest and one of
the helpful auxiliaries at the University.
THE WORLD'S FAIR,
At the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, the literary
14
AMNUaL catalogue

its own special exhibit, and were awarded the Columbian medal and
diploma "for student work."
DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.
Upon those who have satisfactorily completed the Classical
course and sustained in the meantime a good moral character, the
degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred ; in the Scientific, Bachelor of
Science.
Graduates who have spent five years in literary pursuits on
presentation of a thesis to the faculty, may receive the degree of
A. M., or M. S.
PRIZES.
There are five permanent prizes for which students may com¬
pete :
Rst Prize.—The interest, at six percent, on the Rust Fund of

GOVERNMENT.
Only worthy students, possessing character and brain are ad¬
mitted to the privileges of this University; and requisite testimoni¬
als must be presented on entering.
the government is inflexibly strict in excluding all practice
tending to immorality, and in exacting a uniform regard for good
order, studious habits, and the prescribed routine of duty. Whole-
some regulations are instituted, designed to promote the prosperity,
and happiness of the students, which will commend themselves to
every well disposed mind, and receive the cordial support of every
lady and gentleman. A disposition to evade just and salutary rules
will meet with special disapproval.
In the work of instruction, as well as of discipline, the aim is to
inspire and increase in the student self-respect, self control and self-
development.

Wilberforce is three and a quarter miles northeast of Xenia which
is on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis By., 65 miles from
Cincinnati, and 55 miles from Columbus. Wilberforce Station, at
which accommodation trains stop, is within twenty minutes walk
westward to the University. The healtlifulness and beauty of the
locality in unsurpassed. Its mineral springs are of great value.
RELIGIOUS INFORMATION.
At 7:15 a. m. all the students assemble for Chapel service which
consists in reading a portion of the Scripture, singing a hymn, and
prayer.
All sectarianism will be discountenanced, but assiduous efforts will
be made to favor and render inviolate the profession of Christianity,
and to induce those who are not truly religious to become so. To all
who are inclined to respect the Christian religion and its institutions,
the welcome hand will be heartily extended; but to those whose
influence is prejudicial to religion and good morals, no protract¬
ed stay can be allowed ; since the success of an educational enter¬
prise is strictly proportional to its moral and religious tone.
FURNISHINGS.
Each room is furnished with a bedstead, mattress, two pillows,
table, and two chairs. University Hall is heated by steam, and
O'Neill Hall, by hot water. The Incidental Fees include the cost of
heating. Bath rooms have been arranged on every dormitory floor.

Subjects of Study.
SCIENCE.
The aim of this course is to give the student a knowledge of
natural science that will be a basis for extensive study in any sub¬
ject. The laboratory method is used with each branch. In Physics,
the lectures, experiments, and study are iti Mechanics, Heat, Elec¬
tricity and the applications of the last. Various works are used.
For the study of Botany, hundreds of herbarium specimens from
Europe and North and South America are available to the student.
The vicinity is especially rich in plant life of hill, meadow, riverside
and marsh.
In Chemistry the work is confined to principles, experiments in
general Chemistry and qualitative analysis.
The Museum offers special advantage in studying Mineralogy,
Paleontology, Lithology, and Zoology.
The laboratory practice of the last subject includes the study in
the dissecting-room of the vital parts of animals.

Military Department.
Through the influence of Senators John Sherman and Calvin S
Brice, Hon. George W. Hulick, and others, President Cleveland
authorized the Secretary of War to designate Wilberforce Univer¬
sity as a school for military training, and detailed Lieut. John H.
Alexander as professor of Military Science and Tactics. His sud¬
den decease led to the detail of a second officer, and Lieutenant
Charles Young, graduate of West Point, received such appointment.
The scholastic, physical, and disciplinary advantages of such a de¬
partment, in addition to the military, make it an acquisition of ex¬
ceptional value.
It is to the honor of Wilberforce that it is the first colored insti¬
tution, and as yet the only one, to receive such favor from the Gen¬
eral Government. The War Department has supplied arms, cannon,
and equipments, to the value of $3,386.21.
On May 23, 1895, the first inspection was had by Capt. Heistand,
the regular U. S. military inspector, the result of which was entire¬
ly creditable to the department. The uniforms were especially com¬
mended. The cost of uniform is about $10.00 a suit, made to order
and including caps. All male students, unless expressly excused,
take instruction and drill in this department. The University au¬
thorities expect its students to be uniformed, which can take the
place of other clothing at even less expense. Patrons are urged to
act upon this suggestion. The students of the N. & I. Department
'are required by the board to provide themselves with uniforms.
The following is the course of instruction.
COURSE OF STUDY.
Theoretical :
a. Includes recitations in the Drill regulations, supplemented by
lectures on minor tactics; army organization, administration and dis¬
cipline ; small arms, firing, regulations, and other military subjects.

in class standing, who are most exemplary in deportment, correct
in performance of duty, and military in bearing.
Special attention will be given to seeing that cadets wear their
uniforms at all military duties, that they are obedient, polite, or¬
derly, and cleanly, as from habits thus formed must be expected the
good to be derived from military training.
During the recent hostilities between the United States and
Spain, Lieutenant Young was granted a leave of absence by the
War Department, and was appointed Major of the Ninth Battalion,
Volunteer Infantry, by Governor Bushnell. Fourteen cadets and
ex-cadets entered the Battalion with him. Messrs. Bass, Ballard
and Welch were among those promoted to a Lieutenancy. Though
not called to the scene of battle, Lieut. Young held his position*
and was in camp until the war closed. Then he returned to us. In
the fall of '99 he rejoined his regular regiment in anticipation of ex
amination for promotion.
The efficiency of our cadets in the regular battalion drill was su¬
perior to anything else in the command.
During his absence, the senior officers in rank took command of
the cadets—Captain S. A. Hull, Class of '98, followed in turn by Cap¬
tain ,T. S. Coage, Class of '99, and later by Lieut. W. P. Welch, Class
of 1901. All of these young men gave good service, rendering sat¬
isfaction to all concerned.
Nine young men examined by the general inspecting officers
have graduated from the department, and their names are on file
with the War Department at Washington.

Three private libraries, containing in the aggregate about one thous¬

taining very valuable theological books, was the librsry of the late Bish¬
op Campbell; the second in size was that of Charles Ray ; the third be¬
longed to Joseph Ellington ; others to Bishops Wavman and Handy, and
Rev. J. R. Hamilton. About sixty small volumes have been con"
tributed by friends, through the solicitation of Mrs. S. W. Dodds, M. D.
Several periodicals, weeklies, monthlies, and quarterlies are received
regularly through Bishop D. A. Payne and Mrs. S. W. Dodds.
Theological students mey have free access to the Library and Read¬

and quarterlies, according to the rules and regulations for the govern¬
ment of the Library and Reading Room.

The library shall consist of a number of alcoves. Each alcove is to
number a thousand volumes. The alcove is to contain a certain num¬
ber of divisions 01* shelves. There will be a company organized for each
alcove, numbering, as many members as there are divisions in the al¬
cove. Each Bishop is to be the president of a company. The names of
the president and members of his company are to be engraved 011 a sil¬
ver plate or written 011 a suitable tablet and placed upon the alcove. Any
good and responsible person to have the privilege of organizing a
company and filling an alcove. These alcoves are all to be filled with
valuable books within five years from the time of the First Annual Meet¬
ing of the Board of Directors.
It is expected that a large fine building will be erected befdre the
expiration of five years. In this building the new library will be loca¬
ted. Every library given by a friend or friend's of the Seminarv will
be put into a special case, or a particular division of the case, or "an al¬
cove, and the name of the donor or donors placed upon it.

Born March 24, 1827, Departed tliis Life March 23, 1900.
He was confined to his bed but a few days. To him, death had no
sting. He lived a Christian life and died a Christian. One has said of
him that "he was one of the greatest members of the church." He was
ever loyal to the church, being pure in motive, earnest as a student and
consecrated as a follower of Christ. Truly he was a good man ; one who
loved true manhood and the law of God. He was a graduate of Oberlin
University and with him passed away the last of the founders of Wilber-
force University- The faculty lost in his death a beloved co-laborer ; the
students, a consecrated father ; the church a ripe scholar and theologian.
The spirit of this good, great and patient man has taken its flight
beyond our association and knowledge, but he liveth in the hearts which
he gladdened and also in the lives which he made brighter while he
moved on the earth.

ADMISSION.
A collegiate education, or its equivalent, constitutes the neces¬
sary preparation for the Regular course of Theology.
The English course has been established to meet a special de¬
mand of quite a large number of young men who have not the means
or time to complete the regular course, but who desire to qualify
themselves for the work of the Christian ministry. A good English
education will be necessary to enter this course.
There is a Theological Preparatory Department for those who
are not prepared to enter the English or short Theological course.

Normal and Industrial Department.
This Department was established at Wilberforce University by
Act of Legislature of Ohio in 1887, and by an almost unamimous
vote of the General Assembly in 1896 was placed upon permanent
support by direct levy with the other educational institutions of the
State.
It is under the control of a special Board of nine Trustees, five
selected by the Governor and four by the University Board. Accord¬
ing to the law under which it is organized, every member of the Leg¬
islature is entitled to select one or more youth from bis district who
may receive the benefits of this department free of tuition, room-
rent, heating and incidental expenses. This department is destined
to become the great centre in the North for Normal and Industrial
training for colored youth.
Certificates are valid for the entire course for which they are
given, but State students are required not to absent themselves at
any time during the school year for more than eight consecutive
weeks on pain of forfeiting their certificates.
State students may take both Normal and Industrial work. Stu¬
dents who select industrial work must continue in the line selected
through the year.
A diploma is awarded to those who complete the Normal and
Commercial courses, and a certificate to those who complete an in¬
dustrial or shorthand and typewriting course.
We invite attention to the advantages offered in our Industri¬
al courses.
Senators and Representatives who appoint State students to
this department, are respectfully asked to give the preference to
those who are prepared to enter upon the Normal or Commercial
course on the one hand, or to those who intend to follow one or
more industries to completion. The crowded condition of our build¬
ings would urge this suggestion, if no other demand were upon us.
o'neill hall,
Erected in 1890, is a fine brick building five stories high, including
62
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
mansard story and basement, and furnishes dormitory accomodations
for eighty young la¬
dies. On the first floor
are the Normal, Mu¬
sic, Beception, Libra¬
ry and Sewing rooms.
The dimensions are
120x42 feet; foun-
I dation of blue lime¬
stone; superstructure
of brick with tin roof.
The Hall is provided with all modern conveniences, and its com¬
pletion marks an epoch in the educational facilities at this institution.
The dormitories are furnished with bedsteads, spring mattresses,
pillows, dressers, washstands, chairs and tables ; heated by hot wa¬
ter, supplied with bath-rooms, laundry, kitchen and dining-rooms.
Pure spring water is brought to every floor by an electric mo¬
tor, while cold and warm soft water is furnished for all purposes,
Fire-escapes and Babcock fire-extinguishers have been provided.
To the philanthropy of the State of Ohio is due the progress
made in this direction. No language can measure the service ren¬
dered to the cause of education by our noble bodies of legislators.
The use of power and electricity was introduced in 1895—a forty
horse-power engine and a 500 incandescent dynamo being employed
for that purpose.
A three-story industrial building was erected, chiefly by the stu¬
dents, in 1895. Plans have been approved by the Board for another
large dormitory hall. The 74th General Assembly has made some
provisions toward this end, and its erection will be pushed forward
with all possible dispatch. Our present capacity has been taxed to
overflowing, to accommodate more than three hundred students.
A farm of 130 acres of land adjoining the University grounds
has been bought, under the direction of the Board, and develop¬
ments in agriculture are expected to follow.
Most valuable lectures on practical farming and domestic ani¬
mals have been given from time to time by prominent specialists
residing in the county.

NORMAL COURSE.
The Normal Course aims to meet the growing demand for pro¬
fessionally trained teachers. The "New Education" demands that
the teacher shall know what he is to train, why and how ; that he
shall be able to take the standpoint of the child, and develop its mind
according to natural laws ; that he shall keep pace with the age in
its educational theories and practices, as well as have a foundation
of culture studies sufficient for a strong mental grasp of the ped¬
agogical work. To this last end the requirements in the culture
studies of this curriculum bend.
The pedagogical work of the course embracing Philosophy and
History of Education, School Economy and Specific Method work,
with practice, aims to give a clear comprehension of the basic prin¬
ciples of pedagogics—such a knowledge as will enable the pupil
teacher to secure the best results in child-training. Practice work
is given daily during the Senior year.
In short the embryo teacher is taught that he is to teach the sub¬
ject rather than a text-book,—and that above all, he is to teach the
child :—to develop a mind, and to that end, he is inducted into the
most approved methods.

Commercial Course.
Henry N. Jenkins, M. I. A., Instructor.
A Commercial Course to meet the demands of the present age
should be practical, yet technical, and at the same time liberalizing
enough in its character eCs to be educational.
It is not enough for a Commercial School to train bookkeepers,
clerks, and assistants; but there is a more important need,—that
of training business men for life's varied duties.
The curriculum of such schools should be of such thoroughness
as to equally prepare the student for the duties of manager or pro¬
prietor as well as that of clerk or bookkeeper.
Such are our aims here. We keep in touch, through correspon¬
dence, with some of the leading expert Accountants in the United
States, and we aim to give the latest and best methods, and to teach
the most practical way of conducting business enterprises.
iStudents to enter upon this course must have passed through the studies of the
English Preparatory Department).

Carpentry Course.
Lowell W. Baker, Instructor.
An eminent divine in Chicago has said: " Probably one-half of
the crime and degradation in this country is caused by the the men
having no settled vocation and "every young man, no matter what
his station in life, should have a trade." To supply this growing
want, manual training schools and departments are daily forcing
themselves into greater prominence. In the carpenter's trade we
have one of the cleanest, most healthful and lucrative employments.
With the increase of population there is a constant demand for the
" house to live in," and four-fifths of the labor used in the construc¬
tion of this house must be done by the carpenter. In consequence,
a good carpenter is seldom out of employment.
We endeavor in this department to give the student a thorough
training.

Sewing Course.
A. I. Bond, Instructor.
Sewing has.become of late years so valuable an art, that a young
woman's education is no longer considered complete without some
knowledge of this very important branch. Because of this fact, to
the curriculum of most public and high schools and seminaries, sew¬
ing has. been added.
The course here has been planned so as to impress thoroughly
upon the student the value of order, accuracy in sewing, economy in
catting, the art of buying, the various kinds and qualities of mate¬
rials, and the colors, materials, and trimmings suited to the different
types of figures. The aim of this department is to fit young women to
meet especially the increasing demand for trained teachers and also
prepare \them to become practical dressmakers. Each student is re¬
quired to furnish and make for herself at least one dress before
graduation.
The students are requested to make their own clothing in the
department. This enables them to have more practice than could
be given otherwise. Only one-third of the value of making the
garment will be charged.

PRINTING COURSE.
James L. Lantz, Instructor.
Some one has said that " A nation's progress in civilization may
be measured by the amount of paper it consumes." The Printing
Press is indeed the chronicler of thought and the preserver of ideas.
Here at Wilberforce we are prepared to give to the race and the
world typos who first receive the elementary education required
and then supplement it. with the technical. With a new and com¬
plete outfit of type, press, binder, paper-cutter and general office
furniture and stock, with a College paper to issue and the Depart¬
ment and University job-work to execute, the young printer has am¬
ple facilities to acquire the art with rapidity and thoroughness.
Practical men of to-day are in close competition for bread and
homes. The long, loud, urgent call to the fathers and mothers to¬
day is, " Give the boy and girl a trade—a practical education—not
at the expense of brain culture, but on an equal footing with it."
The work aimed at by the Normal and Industrial Department here is
the harbinger of a brighter day, precursor of the time when the skill¬
ed right arm and dexterous hand of the man of darker hue will place
him in right relations with the masses of this country, will identify
his interests with theirs.

COOKING COURSE.
Lizzette M. Pinu, Instructor.
"Cooking is the art of preparing food for the nourishment of the
human body." -
Within the past few years much interest has - been taken in this1
particular branch of Domestic Science. The rapid and marked im¬
provement in cooking utensils ; the introduction of new fuels, for
cooking purposes ; valuable research along the line of Pood Econ¬
omy ; the establishment by the government of Food Experimental
Stations ; and the introduction of cooking classes into public schools
girls', academies and seminaries, and even into universities have all
helped to bring the matter before the public; so that "Scientific
Cooking" is no longer a mere fad but a demand of the present age.
To obtain the most nutritious food with the least expenditure of
time or labor ; and to prepare it with the least possible waste of food
material is the problem of the present day. The resources of our
country are such as to make it possible for every intelligent and
energetic American to be well fed at the minimum cost. The aim of
this course is to put that possibility within the reach of all who
will avail themselves of the opportunity.

DRAWING.
The instruction in Drawing consists of study of type-solids
and objects based upon them, clay modeling, stick laying, paper-
folding and cutting, color exercises.
In Form Study and Drawing, the work is taken up under three
heads: Construction, Representation and Decoration, and the pupil
is taught under these how to make free-hand working drawings,
free-hand outline drawings and free-hand perspective; and to draw
from natural objects, from dictation, copies and from memory; how
to develop surfaces and make patterns, to make models from pat¬
terns, to construct geometric units and to work out geometric prob¬
lems, designing for decoration purposes, grouping, and historic or¬
nament.
To this is added instruction in methods of teaching drawing.
Pastel, crayon portraiture, oil painting, water color, clay modeling
are also taught in special classes.

Voice Culture and Singing.
Geo. T. Simpson, Instructor.
Voice culture is a distinct branch in the department of music and
holds the same rank as instrumental music. The art of singing is the
foundation of all true musical culture. The study of instruments cannot
cultivate the ear to that perfection which is attained by the careful study
of vocal music. Every one, if possible, should learn singing. "Song is
man's own true, peculiar music."
The voice is our own peculiar connate instrument; it is the living,
sympathetic organ of our soul. Whatever moves within us ; whatever
sensation or emotion we feel, becomes immediately embodied and per¬
ceptible in our voice.
The ability to sing is like any other of the natural powers which
God has given us. The true cultivation of the voice consists in the de¬
velopment of pure tone. Correct use of the breath intonation, attack
legato accent, phrasing and enunciation are the leading features of tech¬
nical drill.
SINGING CLASSES.
Students are graded in Vocal Music, and promoted on examination)
the same as in any other study. With proper application, it is thus pos
sible for all who take courses of study to learn musical notation so as to
read readily any ordinary composition. Those completing the work of
the Singing Classes are thoroughly prepared to begin successfully
Voice Culture.
THE UNIVERSITY CHOIR.
The object of this organization is to study and from time to time, to
render in public, standard musical compositions of the most advanced
character, including the more difficult masses and oratorios, composi¬
tions of the best German, Italian and English writers. A Glee Club,
University Male Quartette, Ladies' Chorus and an excellent Church
Choir have been maintained affording excellent opportunities for the de¬
velopment of those who appear in public.
