MARY COLLEGE St. Mary College is a boarding and day college for young men and boys. It is empowered by the Assembly of the State of Ohio to confer degrees. The extensive grounds of over 50 acres are located in South Park, a remarkably picturesque spot within the city of Dayton, overlooking the Miami Valley.

The selec- tion of studies is made with the assistance of an Advisory Board and with the approval of the Pre- fect of Studies. Philosophy and English are con- sidered fundamental studies for all degrees in the College of Arts, Letters, and Science. Latin and Greek are characteristic studies for students wish- ing to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Latin, History, and Modern Languages are ehehacrerietic studies for candidates aspiring to the degree of Bachelor of Letters. Candidates desiring a course in General Science may arrange for a course with the Prefect of Studies. An extensive study of mathematics con- stitutes an essential feature. Upon the successful completion of the course, the degree of Bachelor of Science is awarded. Department of Physics College of Engineering The College of Engineering was inaugurated in September, 1910, at the urgent request of Alumni and friends of St. Mary. No effort is spared to acquaint the student body thoroughly with the fundamental principles and to give them a deep insight into the theoretical analy sis of engineering problems. While emphasis is laid on fundamental theor y, continual attention Departmert of Chemistry is paid to the solution of practical problems for the purpose of imbedding principles and illustrating the lines of their general industrial application. At the same time students are trained to habits of initiative and industry, and will thus be well pre- pared to adapt themselves readily to actual condi- tions and requirements, and to grapple with new problems that from time to time confront the pro- fessional engineer. Lecture and text-book courses are accompanied throughout by quantitative work in well-equipped laboratories. Frequent visits are made to accessible engineer- ing establishments to make the student thoroughly conversant with the trend of current engineering practice. For such purpose Dayton offers excep- tional facilities owing to the great number and variety of engineering plants located in the city and vicinity. “Lectures by engineers in active ser- vice will help to keep the student in touch with professional work. Upon the successful completion of one of the Engineering Courses, the degree of Bachelor of Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical or Civil Engin- eering is awarded. HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT St. Mary has a four years’ High School or Pre- paratory Course that is accredited to Case School of Apphed Science, as well as to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which comprises the universities of Michigan, In- diana, Ilinois, and Ohio, and in general the univer- sities of the Middle West. The four years’ course is prescribed, not elective, and corresponds to the college preparatory course recognized by the leading educators as the only logical outline of studies for students who intend to take up higher studies. A diploma from the high school-department of St. Mary or any of the accredited high schools of the North Central Asso- ciation admits to the freshman year of the College of Arts, Letters, Science, or Engineering.

S. M. C. Band and Orchestra MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department of the College is in- tended primarily to accommodate those who wish to pursue the study of music for its cultural ad- vantages and as a refined accomplishment. The students of the Department of Music are encouraged to acquire the proficiency requisite for membership in the Student Orchestra, 8. M. C. Orchestra, and S. M. C. Band. These musical or- ganizations give recitals and concerts in the course of the year and furnish the music at all dramatic and athletic events. They have been well received for years and have earned the continued favor of large audiences by their exceptional rendition of classical as well as popular programs. Voice culture is fostered in all departments of the College. Sight singing is taught to the younger students who are encouraged to become members of the S. M. C. Choir of select voices. Students of the Collegiate Department are eligible to member- ship in the 8. M. C. Glee Club, a popular organiza- tion among the young men of the college. S. M. C. DRAMATIC CLUB The S. M. C.
