The Prench is made one of the elective studies of the Theological Classes in
order that they may be incited to consider and labor in the missionary fields of
Iiayti and San Domingo.
We believe that the scientific character of this course will give our Theolog¬
ical graduates a greater ability to meet and vanquish modern infidelity. No one
can enter into conflict with the infidel of our times, by using the arguments of
Turetin. It is modern science that is modifying the views of this age in relation
to Theology. It is some hard working man in his laboratory, some traveling
lecturer, some culler of plants and flowers, some microscopic anatomist or exam¬
iner of human skulls, some geologist busy with his fossil remains, that is secretly
unsettling the belief of men in the truth of the Mosaic accounts of Creation, or
of the unity of the human race.
The modern infidel has seized upon the field of physical science, and there
must the modern theologian meet, fight and vanquish him. This he must do in
the name, by the grace, and for the glory of that God \yho made both Nature
and the Bible.
Moreover, a careful, prayerful and prolonged study of the Natural Sciences,
widens the theologian's vision, familiarizes him with the general and particular
24
ANNUAL CATALOGUE.
laws of the universe, and thereby gives him a deeper insight into the Divine
Government by means of which he attains a higher and more perfect conception
of God, whom he professes to love and obey, and whose relations he professes to
teach.
ADVANTAGES FURNISHED THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS.
We have opened and, under divine favor, intend to perpetuate a chain of
missions and circuits, to a distance of forty miles around the institution, in which
the students in the Theological Department are permitted to exercise their gifts
and graces; by this means they acquire experience in Pastoral duties before en¬
tering the regular work of the pastorate.
Tuition is given gratuitously to those only who are prepared to enter imme¬
diately on the regular Theological course.
LAW DEPARTMENT.
TEXT BOOKS.
FIRST YEAR.
Walker's Introduction to American Law, Blackstone's Commentaries, Kent's
Commentaries, Smith on Contracts, Greenleaf on Evidence.
SECOND YEAR.
Gould's Pleadings, Bliss 011 Code Pleading, Edward on Bills and Promissory
Notes, Williams on Real Property, Hillard on Torts, Hilcomb's Equity, Becaria
on Crime, Story on the Constitution, Lectures, Moot Courts.
Applicants, before admission to the department, will be required to pass a
satisfactory examination in English Grammar, Arithmetic, Geography and the
History of the United States. A knowledge of Latin is recommended. These
are the least qualifications required for admission.
A Classical and Scientific Course is recommended, because it gives more
depth and compass to the mind of the lawyer.
While the text books indicated will be regularly studied, others will be
consulted.

The government is inflexibly strict in excluding all practice tending to immorality,
and in exacting a tmiform regai d for good order, studious halnts, and attending to
the prescribed routine of duty. Every student, but particularly such as are of im¬
mature years, receives the individual and prayerful watch-care of members of the
Faculty. Wholesome regulations are instituted, designed to promote the pros¬
perity 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 disapproba¬
tion.
In the work of instruction, as well as of discipline, our aim is to inspire and
increase in the students self respect, self control and self-developnjent.
A daily account is kept of each student in such a way as to afford a full ex¬
hibit of his habits in regard to regularity and punctuality, as well as to the merit
and demerit of his recitations each day,- in his several studies. A monthly re¬
port will be sent to the parents or guardian of each student.
RERUIREMENTS.
1. Proper observance of the Sabbath—attendance at Church and Sabbath
School.
2. Bathing and all preparations for the Sabbath must be faithfully attended
to on Saturday evening.
3. Punctual attendance at prayers, recitations and exercises.
4. Strict observance of the appointed study hours.
5. Every student will be held responsible for all improper conduct occur-
ing in his room, and particularly accountable for all injury beyond ordinary use.
6. Every room must be accessible at all times to the members of the Fac¬
ulty.
7. Students must keep their room in good order, and leave them clean at
the end of the term.
8. Students must rise in the morning at the ringing of the first bell, cleanse
and set their room in order for the day, before study hours commence.
PROHIBITIONS.
1. The association with the opposite sex without permission.

ceases to be a member of the same.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Wilberforce is three and a quarter miles northeast of Xenia, which is on the
Little Miami R. R., sixty-five miles from Cincinnati, and fifty-five miles from
Columbus; hence it has direct communication with allpartsof the United Stales.
Pierce's Station on t. at line, where accomodation trains stop, is within fifieen
minutes walk of the University. The Mineral Springs and other natural sur¬
roundings, afford at the same time a most beautiful and healthful location.
The State by special legislation prohibits the sale of intoxicants, ami the
maintenance of any place of ill-repute within tivo miles of the University. <
RELIGIOUS INFORMATION.
At 7:45 A. M. and at 3 P. M., all the students assemble in the chapel for re¬
ligious devotion, which consists in reading a portion of the Scriptures, singing a
hymn, and prayer. These exercises have a most happy influence upon the stu¬
dents, and have done muHh in making the labors of governing comparatively
light.
Great care is taken to guard the students from immoral habits, profane lan¬
guage, and reading improper books.
The religious element will receive particular encouragement and protection.
No repulsive sectarianism will be indulged. While such a disposition will be
discountenanced, there will be assiduous efforts to favor and render inviolate the
profession of Christianity, and to induce those who are not truly religious to be¬
come so. To all inclined to respect the Christian religion and its institutions,
the welcome hand will be heartily extended; but to those whose influence is

2Q
ADMISSION.
Every person applying for admission must bring testimonials of good moral
character.
Divinity Students must come to us fully indorsed by the church authorities
as possessing gifts, graces and iruits, otherwise they will not be permitted to en¬
ter the Theological Department.
No student from abroad under fourteen years of age, will be admitted as a
member of the institution except by special arrangement with the Faculty. For
all such pupils, application in writing should be made previous to coming to Wit¬
her force.
When ever it is desired that students board in families, their parents and
guardians must consult the Faculty before selecting their boarding places.
Students from other schools must present certificates of honorable dismission
from the proper authorities.
For admission to advanced standing, candidates will be thoroughly examin¬
ed in the studies of the previous year, or their equivalents.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the close of each term, the classes are examined in the studies 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 records
during the term and at the examinations show good scholarship, and reach the
average required by the Faculty
COMBINED NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
Through the noble generosity of the State of Ohio, there has been estab¬
lished a combined Normal and Industrial Department at this University. A
special Board of Trustees selected by the Governor and the University Board
directs its management. According to the law under which it is organized, every
member of the Legislature is entitled to select a youth from his district, who
may receive the benefits of that department free of tuition. The immediate
effect of this act will be to increase the efficiency of the normal instruction now
given, and inaugurate a line of technical training. It is earnestly hoped that
around this new education—the industrial—will cluster the substantial sympathy and
co-operation of the friends of the race.
State students are required to not absent themselves at any time during the
school year for more than eight consecutive weeks, on pain of forfeiting their
certificate.
3^
ANNUAL CATALOGUE.
Certificates are valid only for the school year in which they ore given, and
should be renewed by all desirous of retaining them.
State students will take both normal and industrial work.
Industrial drawing is an inseparable part of the course of carpentry as therein
specified. Students who select industrial work must continue a full term, at least.
LIBRARY.
Our library contains about 4,000 volumes, many of which are valuable to
both professors and students; but we need additional works of a philosophic and
scientific character, as books of reference for the use of the professors and stu¬
dents.
Contributions of such works as will increase the size and value of the library,
are solicited from our friends.
MUSEUM.
Museum Hall was fitted up in 1879 for the reception of a Museum valued at
$2,000. The museum contains collections in Botany, Mineralogy, Paleontology,
(casts principally) Lithology and Zoology. These selections have been made
with special reference to working value and usefulness. They thus are at once
adapted to meet the long felt need of affording students an opportunity for their
scientific study, which can only be pursued successfully with suitable specimens.
We solicit from all our friends such specimens as will add to the interest and
value of our collections.
ART ROOM.
The Art Room contains plaster moulds of statuary, to the value of $200, the '
gift of the late Rev. J. F. Ware, of Boston. We desire to enlarge these collec¬
tions, and will gratefully acknowledge.all gifts.
OTHER GIFTS.
Among the generous benefactors of the University we would mention the
lamented Chief-Justice Chase, who left $ro,ooo; Mr. John Pfaff, Cincinnati, O.,
' $ 1000 ; the Trustees of the Avery Fund, $10,000; Dr. Rust, of Cincinnati, and
Miss Ella M. Graves and mother, N. Y.; Bishop J. P. Campbell, Philadelphia,

1000 acres of land in Eastern Kentucky, with others whose names will be held
in grateful remembrance by those who are striving to build up the University.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The late Mr. A. I. Powers, of Potsdam, N. Y., established an Endowment
Fund for 1 wo Scholarships; the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church has
established Scholarships. The Trustees of the George Washington Fund in
Illinois, by selection under testimonials and competitive examinations, maintain
students at the University.
AIMS.
The University aims to provide for students a liberal education, to«give them
the training necessary to fit them for teaching others, or fill with credit any
position for which the various departments design them.
NEEDS. •
Many of the students need a helping hand to enable them to pursue their
course. Great good would be accomplished in this direction by contributions.
While the institution, through its officers, will do all in its power to secure aid
in the form of labor for all worthy students 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. Will not our friends aid us in helping the needy and,
deserving ones ?
The buildings and land are paid for, but progress is retarded by lack of
sufficient means to enlarge the operations according to the plans. Another
building is needed for dormitory purposes. At present, we are scarcely able to
accomodate all who come. We are much in need of apparatus for the depart¬
ment of Natural Philosophy, and Applied Mathematics.
It is believed that no better investment can be made than to devote funds
to the purposes above mentioned.
READING ROOMS.
Two Reading Rooms were established in 1878, for ladies and gentlemen
respectively. Quite a number of publications are to be found on the files ; and
as means increase, it is our desire to supply them with all the leading news¬
papers, magazines and reviews.
LABORATORY.
The laboratory has been recently enlarged, and is a valuable auxiliary to the
study of the Sciences. It has received important additions from Bishop B. W.
Arnett.
SOCIETIES.
There are maintained by the students four literary societies—the Sodalian,
the Philomathean, the Payne and the Dodds ; a Y. M. C. A., a Y. W. C. A.,
a Missionary Society, the Harmonic Association and the Wilberforce Brass Band.
