KITTRELL COLLEGE
1917-1918
General Information
Kittrell College is under the auspices of the A. M. E.
Church and is supported by the Conferences of the Second
Episcopal District, and is located on the historic place
known as "Kittrell Springs," in Vance County, N. C., on
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, eight miles South of Hen¬
derson and thirty-six miles North of Raleigh. The
place is an excellent one for a school of this kind, because
it is quiet and has few attractions to allure the young
people from the paths of virtue. The site contains sixty
acres, with two streams flowing through it. Upon the
school premises are two mineral springs.
The outlook is that Kittrell is destined to become a
great educational centre, attracting hither not only hun¬
dreds of boys and girls, but families who wish to locate
where the best educational advantages may be enjoyed.
OUR BUILDINGS
At present we have five main buildings.
Diekerson Hall, an excellent three-story frame building
recently enlarged and remodeled with modern equipment
throughout, is now used as Boys' Dormitory.

Prospectus
Shady side Cottage is a neatly appointed cottage used
as a teachers' home and occupied by one of the Instruc¬
tors.
Orient Cottage is an attractive two-story building, with
modern improvements, occupied by the Dean of the Theo¬
logical Department and known as the Deanery.
Fairview Cottage is a commodious modern home, well
appointed and beautifully situated, now used as the resi¬
dence of the head of the College and known as the Presi¬
dent's Home.
Duke-Memorial Hall is a large four-story brick struc¬
ture with ample accommodation for two hundred girls,
has modern conveniences and the very best arrangements
for home and school life. It contains the college chapel,
dining room, music room, parlor and offices. It is one of
the best school buildings in North Carolina.
The Pearson-0*Kelly Model Sehool is a beautiful struc¬
ture made of native stone, concrete blocks and brick,
containing rooms for the work of the Model School and
the Teacher Training Classes.

Departments of Study
Domestic Science and Arts
Our department of Domestic Science and Arts was
established and is being maintained to meet a great need.
Here thorough instruction and training are given in cook¬
ing, plain and fancy sewing, dressmaking in its different
branches, laundering and general housekeeping. The in¬
struction in these subjects is both theoretical and practi¬
cal, so that the girls may be able not only to do well their
own work, but may also teach others, both by precept and
example.
INSTRUCTION IN COOKING
First Year—Kitchen management, dish-washing, care
of cooking materials, glass, china and silverware; meas¬
uring, practice work in cooking breads and plain foods,
cereals and vegetables.
Second Year—Classification of food materials, care of
foods, equipment of dining room and table service; prac¬
tice work in cooking eggs, griddle cakes, puddings.
Third Year—Fancy cooking, lectures on Domestic
Chemistry and Household Sanitation, practice work in
cooking pastry, cakes, custards, soups.
Fourth Year—Invalid cookery, beverages, frozen
dishes, arranging menus, marketing, practice work in
cooking.
Two lessons a week. Time one hour and a half.
INSTRUCTION IN SEWING
The course in sewing may be completed in three years.
The first year's work consists of instruction in making
different stitches, patchwork and plain sewing, taking
notes of all important points taught.
The second year is given chiefly to the making of
8
Prospectus
undergarments, aprons, wash dresses, etc., drafting and
taking notes.
During the third year students learn drafting and the
different branches of dressmaking.
The above is the regular course for class work. Stu¬
dents who wish to specialize in any one of the depart*
ments will be given the special course, for which there
will be an extra charge.
Business Department
The demand for intelligent young men and women
who have received a business education, is a call that is
heard all over the country.
In our Business Department students are thoroughly
instructed in all forms of modern office work, including.
Bookkeeping, Typewriting and Stenography.
Persons desiring more explicit information will have
the kindness to write the President of the College or
Dean.
BOOKKEEPING COURSE
The Bookkeeping Course embraces the following:
Bookkeeping, Rapid Calculation, Commercial Law,
Penmanship, Correspondence, Spelling, Arithmetic, Type¬
writing, Commercial Geography.
SHORT-HAND COURSE
The Short-hand Course embraces :
Short-hand, Penmanship, Spelling, Typewriting, Cor¬
respondence.
THE COMBINED OR SECRETARIAL COURSE
This course is a combination of both of the above
courses. A general knowledge of commercial papers and
the general routine of office work is of great value to
short-hand writers who may not be called upon to make a
Kitirell College

business of bookkeeping. The ability to write a neat busi¬
ness hand, to assist with books, to handle cash and to
make out notes, checks, drafts and commercial papers
makes it easy to secure employment, command better
salary and increases the opportunity for advancement
after employment is secured.
School of Music
Music, both vocal and instrumental, has always held a
prominent place in the training given by the College.
The aim has been to furnish thorough instruction in the
branches taught. To do this our goal has been the school
of music. The steps to this have been natural, commenc¬
ing with music as a branch of study then later making it
a distinct department of study, finally ending in the music
school of the present.
COURSE OF STUDY
In Class Instruction two students are assigned to the
same hour. Each student, however, receives more than
twenty minutes of instruction. He has that amount of
personal supervision, but in addition he receives all of the
criticisms and suggestions made by the teacher to each
of his classmates, which he will generally find quite as
valuable as those made to himself. The instruction in the
case of each student is personal and aims to meet his in¬
dividual needs, and while the class may or may not be
studying the same composition, the suggestions and prin¬
ciples developed are appreciable to all.
Two lessons a week will be given in all branches
unless special arrangements are made for more or less.
PIANO-FORTE
For piano students there is a regular piano-forte
course covering four years which, if faithfully- followed,
will develop a good performer and intelligent teacher.
10
Prospectus
The aim being to establish a clear, ringing touch, strong,
yet sympathetic, to develop a ready reader and confident
executor.
The course includes:
I. Technical exercises intended to give the student
control of the muscles of the arm, hand and fingers, mak¬
ing them respond to the orders of the will.
II. Etudes by the best teachers and writers, the
purpose of which is to give further technical development
as well as intellectual culture, thus forming a ready link
between the techniques and master works.
III. Composition by the best ancient and modern
writers, ensemble playing, etc., intended to develop a love
for the truly beautiful.
VOCAL CULTURE
The cultivation of the voice in singing has always been
regarded as an important branch of study, the object of
which is to teach the student in singing the proper man¬
agement of breath, to produce a good round tone, and to
sing with ease and expression.
Careful drills are given in techniques, vocalises, scales,
and practice in singing selections from the best English,
German, Italian, French and American song writers,
operatic airs and oratorios for the purpose of acquiring
pure style and expression.
ORGAN
Organ pupils follow a systematic course consisting of
voluntaries, church tunes at sight, combining and playing
four-part music.
THEORY AND MUSIC HISTORY
Theory, embracing Harmony, Analysis, Thorough-
Bass and Composition is taught all who are desirous of
becoming thorough musicians, as an essential part of a
musical education. In Harmony, the object is to train
students to think musically; to become ready readers and
to follow intelligently any master performance.
Kittrell College
11
In Composition students are taught the principles of
Tune, Formation of Musical Form. To this end a careful
study of the different forms of composition will be pur¬
sued, special stress being laid on vocal composition.
Instruction is also given in the use of band and orches¬
tral instruments. The school maintains both a brass
laand and an orchestra.
RECITALS
There are recitals and rehearsals at stated times, thus
giving the students of the school of music an opportunity
to appear in public thereby becoming accustomed to the
audience. A choral society is formed each year of the
best voices in the entire school for the purpose of render¬
ing standard choruses, operettas and oratorios.
PIPE ORGAN
It will be interesting to our students to learn that a
fund has been started looking forward to the purchase of
a pipe organ for this department of our work. There
is an ever increasing demand for those who can play the
pipe organ.

Prospectus
ENGLISH COURSE
This course includes only the English studies, and is
maintained for those who desire a ministerial training,
but who have not attained such degree of scholarship as
would warrant their taking the full course in Theology.
Applicants must have at least a Grammar School educa¬
tion to be admitted to this course. Applicants who can¬
not meet this requirement will be allowed to spend most
of their time in the Grammar School, taking the more
essential studies of this course. The course covers three
years of eight months each. Those completing this
course to the satisfaction of the faculty receive a diploma.
The full Theological course includes everything in the
English Course, with the addition of Greek and Hebrew.

Divinity.
EXTENSION COURSE IN THEOLOGY
This Course is to take the place of our former Corres¬
pondence Course and is conducted for the special benefit
of ministers in the active pastorate, aspirants for the min¬
istry, who have not the time to spend at the College, but
who desire a course of systematic theology, and Sunday-
school and lay church workers. It covers four sessions
of six months each comprising seven series of questions
and two or three examinations per year. The sets of
questions are sent out to the College Extension Pupils
each month and personal examinations are conducted at
the sessions of the District Conference, the Sunday School
Convention, and the Annual Conference, at all of which
meetings students of this course are expected to be pres¬
ent. At the Annual Conference class promotions are
made and recommendations named to the Conference
Class Committee and the College Faculty. We recommend
this course to all who have not the means of attending

Industrial Department
This department was established to enable us to give

and thereby make them more self-reliant.
For the regular work that requires special managers a
limited number of young women and young men are en¬
gaged as work students, who take charge of the different
phases of work during the day and receive instruction at
night. Only a few can be provided for in this way, and
such arrangements must be made before the school year
begins.
For general duties connected with the school work all
Kittrell College
19
students are subject to such duties as may be assigned by
the faculty. The work done by students enables the Col¬
lege to run at minimum cost to students.
PRINTING
The school has established a regular Job Printing
Office with a sufficient outfit to enable us to do most of our
own printing and also some outside work.
A College monthly is published by faculty and students.
SHOE SHOP
We have a regular shoe shop on the school grounds
and all repairing is done at reasonable rates.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE COLLEGE RELATIVE TO
WORK
Owing to the very small amount of monthly charges
made by the College, all students entering must do at
least nine hours work a week. The time and method of
performing this work will be announced in the regular
College bulletin. To complete the nine hours work re¬
quired all students will work at least four hours on Satur¬
day.
Also in this department instruction is given in manual
training, carpentry, masonry, plumbing and agriculture.
On the school farm of 100 acres, each student, male and
female, is given instruction in truck farming, horticulture
and landscape gardening in connection with the text.
LIBRARY
It is a well known fact that habits formed during
school life are the most lasting. The world is filled with
beautiful literature, and to cultivate a taste for the read¬
ing of good books is impressed upon the minds of the stu¬
dents. That they may keep .in touch with the things of
the world, daily papers and some of the leading maga¬
zines and journals are at their disposal. The library is
open daily for reading and reference.
Not more than two books are allowed a student at one
20
Prospectus
time; for not longer than two weeks. Our library has
twelve hundred and fifty books and seven hundred and
twenty magazines. Most of these have been the gifts of
friends. Some of the students, realizing the needs of
the library, have already a movement on foot to increase
during the summer months the number of books. They
see that good books not only give life, zest and push, but
will better prepare them for the broad arena of life.
Through the generosity of that philanthropist, John
Merrick, President of the N. C. Mutual and Provident
Association, there has been erected on the school campus
of brick and stone a modern library building of splendid
proportions which affords the students opportunities for
research work as never before realized. Many hundred
volumes will be added during the present year, and we
earnestly request each of our friends to donate at least
one book.
Rules and Regulations
The policy of the institution is personal liberty and
individual responsibility. It is therefore hoped that stu¬
dents will observe the rules and regulations of the school,
not from fear of punishment but from a desire to do
right.
Students are expected to be respectful and obedient to
members of the faculty, polite to all, clean in their per¬
sonal habits, and orderly in their conduct at all times and
places.

Ha! Wah! Bish! Boom: Bah!

1 Our hearts leap forth when we behold
Our Dear Old College, strong and bold
Encircled e'er by hill and dell,

And hold thee dear in memory,
Though time shall lead us far away,
Our love will never stray;
Thy students thou canst always trust,
Thy banner ne'er shall-trail'the dust
We love, adore and honor thee,
(Spoken) Now give three cheers for old K. C.

Hurrah! for old K. C.
