COURSE OF STUDY.
We are pleased to announce to our patrons and friends
that our course of study has been changed so as to enable
us to do better work in all departments, and, too, to give our
students the benefit of a higher standard by the establishment
of a regular College Department.
The school work covers such studies as will prepare stu¬
dents for the practical business relations of life, and our
students will no> longer have1 occasion toi go- elsewhere before
they can take up studies in College Work.
The English Course insures a good foundation, covering a
period of three years. To enter, students must give satis¬
faction as to having had sufficient primary training to pass
them on to this course.
Our Normal Department, which has already been acknowl¬
edged to be a strong one, is now made stronger by the addition
of some very essential studies. The time allowed for this
course is three years, ait the end of which students who have
sustained a good record and made the requisite standard will
be granted Diplomas,
The College Department embraces the studies of a regular
College Course, and covers a period of four years, at the end
oi which Diplomas are awarded with degrees.

THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC.
Music, both vocal and instrumental, has always held a
prominent place in the training1 given, by the College. The
aim has been to furnish thorough instruction in all branches
taught. To do this our goal has been the school of music.
The steps to this have been natural, commencing with music
as a branch of study, then later making it a distinct depart¬
ment of study, finally ending in the music school of the
present.
COURSE OF STUDY.
In Class Instruction two students a.re assigned to the
same hour. Each student, however, receives more than
twenty minutes of instruction, He has that amount of per¬
sonal supervision, but in addition he receives all of the criti-
18
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
cisms and suggestions made by the teacher to each of his class¬
mates, which lie will generally find quite as valuable as those
made to himself. The instruction in the case of each stu¬
dent is personal, and aims to meet his individual needs, and
while the class may or may not be studying the same, compo¬
sition, the suggestions and principles developed are applicable
to all.
Twoi 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 de¬
velop a good performer and an intelligent teacher. The aim
being to establish a clear, ringing touch, strong, vet sympa¬
thetic; 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, making 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 in¬
tellectual culture, thus forming a ready link between the
technics and master works.
III. Composition by the best ancient and modem writers,
ensemble playing, etc., intended to develop a love for the
truly beautiful.
VOICE CUETURE.
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 of singing the proper management of
the breath, to produce a. good round tone, and to sing with
ease and expression.
Careful drills are given in vocal technics, vocalises, scales
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
19
and practice in singing selections from tlie best English, Ger¬
man, 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 educa¬
tion. In Harmony^ the object is to train students to think
musically, to become ready readers and to follow intelligently
any master performance.
In composition students are taught the principles of Tune,
Formation and Musical Form. To1 this end a careful study
of the different forms of composition will be pursued, special
stress being laid on vocal composition.
BAND INSTRUMENTS.
The great demand for competent band masters for college
and town bands makes it necessary to offer training for such
work in our music school.
I. In this branch students will be taught the principles of
Music, Marks and Abbreviations, different kinds of Time,
Movement, etc.
II. Formation of Bands, the instruments used in large
and small bands, and their use; how to produce tone, scales
and fingering.
III. The study and practice of the best arrangements for
ordinary Brass Bands.
DELSARTE METHOD.
Classes are formed each year in which young ladies are in-
20

structed in the Delsarte Method of physical culture, expres¬
sive speaking, enunciation and gesture; developing graceful
and easy motions of the body.
RECITALS.
There are recitals and rehearsals at stated times, thus giv¬
ing the students of the school of music 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 rendering standard choruses,
operettas and oratorios.

GIRLS' HOME.
Miss LOVEY A. MAYO, Lady Principal.
Mrs. MARGARET W. GORDON, Assistant Lady Principal.
It is the aim of this department to develop in our girls
those faculties and traits which result in a sensible, rounded
womanhood.
As our students come to us we assume the responsibility of
their social, physical, mental and moral instruction. While
our facilities are not what we desire we are in a great measure
prepared to do good work in giving our girls practical domes¬
tic training. We spare no* pains in the attempt to develop
their higher natures.
Special attention is given to instructing the members of the
Senior and Middle classes in the art of sewing, cutting, fit¬
ting, etc. Under the present arrangements of thei sewing de¬
partment a very deep interest is manifested on the1 part of
the above classes, and we have cause to feel that, the dignity
and self-respect gained by the completion of every carefully
finished article rivals the skill required to make; the garment.
While the theory and practice given in the short time allowed
are not sufficient for a full-fieged dress-maker the progress
made by our girls encourages us to believe that any student
of average ability may, after remaining a member of the
sewing class two years (the length of time prescribed), be
independent of any dress-maker; certainly so far as her own
wardrobe is concerned.
Great stress is laid on a proper observance of order and
decency in the home; especially as to the care of rooms and
clothing, and the performance of all duties.
Ail girls must have comfortable underclothing, wraps, gos¬
samers, over-shoes and umbrellas.
Parents and guardians are requested not to send their
children expensive dresses for any occasion.
22
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
Arrangements must be made for incidental expenses for
medicine, stationery, shoe-polish, etc., as girls are not allowed
to make purchases of any kind except through the one in
charge.
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
The library,in a great measure the gift of interested friends,
contains about sixteen hundred volumes and something over
five hundred magazines and pamphlets. Many of these vol¬
umes are valuable reference books which greatly aid the stu¬
dent in his search for knowledge.
We are also' glad to note the eagerness with which this re¬
search is carried on. In this the student is assisted by the
Librarian who exercises some care in selecting such books as
are best suited to the needs of the individual students.
The reading room has on its tables some of the leading
monthly magazines and weekly journals, also several daily
papers. This room is opened daily, thus giving the students
an opportunity to know1 what is going on in the world at large
as well as giving good recitations in the class room.
We avail ourselves of the opportunity to' thank those who
have helped by their contribution of books and magazines to
make our book room what it is, and will be grateful to others
who may feel disposed to add to our present stock.
BOARDING DEPARTMENT.
Miss ROSA E. ALEXANDER in Charge.
Arrangements have been made to run the Boarding De¬
partment in connection with the Girls' Home, under the direc¬
tion of a special manager.
EXPENSES FOE BOARDING STUDENTS.
The board, room, fuel and lights, $8.00 per month. Six
(6.00) must be paid in cash, the balance, two dollars ($2.00)
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
23
may be paid in work if the student agrees to accept of assign¬
ment to some school work, and is faithful in the performance
of the same. Those who do not accept the assignment of
work, must pay the full $8.00 in cash, the first of each month.
Young men must pay 50 cents extra per month for washing
and ironing if done on school grounds.
Girls are required to do their own laundry work or arrange
for the same, furnishing their own soap' and starch.
BOARD BILLS PAYABLE MONTHLY IN ADVANCE.
At this very low rate of charges the boarding department
can not be sustained on any other than a, cash, basis.
The first month's board bill must be paid on entering, and
payments for each month thereafter will be considered due
on the first day of each month. If the required amount for
any month is not paid before the tenth (10th) of said month,
the student is liable to be cut off from recitations until full
payment is made. If at the end of the month satisfaction for
board is not given said student's name may be dropped from
boarding department.
Students will save money and time1 by entering at the be¬
ginning of the month from which time accounts are reckoned.
If after being enrolled for one month any student becomes dis¬
satisfied and leaves school or is sent away for misconduct, said
student need not ask for refunding of any money paid for that
month.
All accounts must be settled before baggage is removed
from boarding halls.
The treasurer becomes responsible for all deposits made
by students, and at the end of each month will submit a regu¬
lar statement showing balance due.
THINGS FURNISHED BY SCHOOL.
Beds with proper linen and necessary room furniture are
furnished by the school.
24
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.

penses of medicine furnished in case of sickness. This does

morning and evening. Sunday School in the afternoon. All

There are also weekly prayer meetings conducted by teach¬
ers and pupils in which all are privileged to enjoy spiritual
praise without any feeling of restraint or compulsion.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION AND YOUNG PEOPLE^
SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Aside from general Christian work mentioned elsewhere
there is a regular branch of the Y. M. C. A., conducted very
successfully by the young men, under the rules of the Col¬
lege Association of Y. M. C. A., also a regular organization
of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor.
The work of these societies proves very helpful to its mem¬
bers and to the school generally.
LITERACY SOCIETIES.
THE HANDY LITERARY SOCIETY.
The Handy Literary Society is the name of the young
men's organization and is under the supervision of the fac¬
ulty, yet governed by the young men themselves. There are
two departments: the Literary and the Judicial. The work
of the former consisting of composition, debates and declama¬
tion and oration ; the latter for trying all fines that come from
the literary department, mock trials and appeals. The so¬
ciety has proven very helpful and instructive to the young
men. Every male student is required to join and perform all
duties as prescribed in the code of laws. The Club celebrates
its anniversary yearly, at which time the middle-year prize
contest takes place.
THE BUSY WORKERS^ CLUB.
The Society was organized among the young girls, at the
same time the young men organized theirs, and has been
26
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
managed by the girls very successfully. The work of the
society is divided into different departments and systematized
so as to give every girl a chance to perform some literary
work.
On entering school every girl must become a, member of
this society, and will be held responsible for a strict observance
of the society rules which are approved by the faculty.
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
This department was established to enable us to give our
students some practical instruction in honest labor and
thereby make them more self-reliant.
For the regular work that requires special managers, a lim¬
ited number of young men and young women are engaged as
work students who take charge of different departments of
work during the day and receive instruction at night.
Only a few can be provided for in this way, and such ar¬
rangements must be made before the school year begins.
For general duties connected with the school work all stu¬
dents are subject to such duties as may be assigned by the
faculty, except those who prefer to pay the $8.00 in full.
The work done by students reduces board bills from $8.00 to
$0.00 per month, as explained under the head of Boarding
Department elsewhere.
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.
SHOE SHOP.
We have a regular shoe-shop on the school grounds, and all
repairing is done at reasonable rates.
CATALOGUE OF KITTRELL COLLEGE.
27
AMUSEMENTS.
As far as possible we seek to make our school life pleasant
and happy. Special preparations are made to afford time
end means for healthy and pleasant recreation. Suitable
grounds are set apart for out-door sports and special time
allowed for them.
Occasional socials are given in the school assembly room,,
where the members of the faculty and such guests as they
may invite, join in helping to encourage true social dignity
and refined manners.
DISCIPLINE.
Great care is exercised in trying to develop in all a spirit
of self-reliance and Christian manhood and womanhood.
Our boys have the advantage of the latest tactics of regular
military drill and discipline.
A careful record of each student's progress in studies, grade
of work and general deportment is kept by the Registrar of
faculty. This record helps to determine the student's grade
of standing.
WORK FOR GRADUATES.
When our students have satisfactorily finished our course
and gone out from us we take great pleasure in securing for
them positions where they can do good work and receive good
salaries.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOUNDATION AND HISTORY.
The school was founded by the African Methodist Episco¬
pal church, and began its first session at Kittrell, 1ST .C., Feb¬
ruary 7, 1886. Incorporated by the Legislature of North
Carolina, March 7, 1887, under the name of The Kittrell
Normal and Industrial Institute, which has been changed to
Kittrell College, governed by a board of trustees, represent-

iiie; different denominations. The Board purchased sixty
CGO) acres of land at Kittrell and estbalished the work there.
The progress has been slow, but sure, and as we now look
forward to the future the prospects seem brighter than ever
before. We present our claims to the friends of education,
and ask them to favor us with their aid and patronage.
DESCRIPTION.
The school is located on the historic place known as "Kit-
trell's Springs," in Vance County, ]ST. C., on the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad, eight miles south of Henderson, and
thirty-seven miles north of Raleigh. The place is a prefera¬
ble one for a school of this kind, because it is quiet, with but
few attractions to induce the young people to leave the prin¬
ciples of virtue. The site contains sixty acres, with two
streams flowing through it. Upon the school premises are
two mineral springs.
As an evidence of the healthfulness of the place, it has
become one of the most popular resorts for those who leave
their Northern homes in winter, in search of a more congenial
climate.
BUILDINGS.
The steady increase of numbers has called for additional
room each year, and we have tried to meet the demand.
At present we have four main buildings.
Allen Building. (Rebuilt.) Girls Home, a beautiful
three-story building, one hundred and twenty-two (122) feet,
by thirty-eight (38) feet, with extension from centre sixty
(60) by thirty-four (34) feet, three stories and basement.
This building affords ample doinitory accommodations for
one hundred and sixty girls, teachers' private rooms, dining
hall, sewing room, girls' parlor, rooms for music school and
an assembly room, with seating capacity of one thousand, and
other apartments for home life.

GENERAL REMARKS.
In submitting the above information concerning the course
of study and regulations of this work, we beg to emphasize
that we have by noi means reached the crowning point. Our
standard is being raised every year and better work is re¬
quired of all.
All who enter upon the course of study in either depart¬
ment should, if possible, complete it.
In making preparation to come to school, let that prepara¬
tion be extensive enough to cover the entire term of eight
months.
Kemember, too, that it is necessary to- make some provision
for incidental expenses that require cash money.
There are demands that every student must recognize, such
as the purchasing of stationery and stamps, repair of shoes
and clothing, keeping up dues of literary societies, travelling
expenses, church and Sunday School contributions, and such
things as relate to the student's personal comfort and happi¬
ness.
If these cautions are observed everything will move on
smoothly and much unpleasant annoyance saved to both pupils
and teachers.
Everyone should learn as soon as possible to provide for
self and let each day have its telling influence.
Everyone will be urged to do his best and leave behind a
noble record.
