TABOR, IOWA THE OFFER OF THE COLLEGE @ ® “To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count Nature a familar acquaintance, and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of Nature-atamiliar-acquaintanceand-Art-anintimate other men’s work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world’s library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to’be leaders in all walks of life: to lose yourself in generous enthus- ilasm and co-operate with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who are Christ- ians—this is the offer of the college for the best four four years of your life.” —WILLIAM DeWITT HYDE. A Group of Freshmen ATHLETICS. The physical welfare of the students of Tabor College is well guarded. The young women are given regular gymnasium work by a woman spec- ially trained for the work. The young men are un- der the direction of a competent athletic coach and physical director. Football, basketball and track are each stressed in their seasons. Letters are awarded the men who fulfill requirements. Both men and women are required to take a physical ex- amination by a competent physician before engaging in physical exercise. SOCIAL LIFE. When a person is graduated from a college, he is but half-educated unless he knows the common con- ventions of social contact and is easily able to adapt himself to people and to circumstances. Class- parties, all-school parties, picnics, and special func- tions of special organizations give ample opportunity for the development of social ease. The woods near Tabor and the ever interesting Waubaunsie Hills make attractive picnic grounds in the fall and spring, The social life at Tabor is directed but not unduly restrained and its spirit is democratic and wholesome. RELIGIOUS LIFE. The religious life of the college finds expression in the active organizations of the Y. W. C. A., and the Y. M. C. A., and in the various church organi- zations of the town. The Y, M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., are student organizations and all students may have a chance to work in them. Both do much to maintain a spirit of democracy and mutual help- fulness among the students. The Congregational, the Methodist, the Christian, the Latter Day Saints and the Faith Home churches all open their doors to college students. At the first of the year the new students are expected to find their church homes in the denominations of their choice. The pastors of the different churches con- tribute much to the religious life of the college. COURSES OF STUDY. Tabor College offers the regular standard college courses leading to the dezree of Bachelor of Arts. Fifteen hours per week is the minimum and eighteen hours the maximum amount required for regular work in the college department. The catalog will show the requirements for a major and a minor. The foundation for any specialization in any lit- erary, mechanical, scientific or professional work may be secured here under a competent and well- trained faculty at a minimum cost. The ranking of Tabor’s graduates in the Gradu- ate Schools of the Universities, ard the positions held by former students and Alumni, give ample evidence of the standard of scholarship which Tabor maintains. Attention is called to the catalog for those who desire special work in Education, Home Economics, Journalism, and Mechanical Drawing. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. A course in Business Administration will be of- fered for high school graduates. This course is de- signed to give the student who plans to enter bus- iness-life, a chance to acquaint himself with the methods of business procedure while he is securing his college course, DEBATE. Public Speaking and Debate have a prominent place in the college activities. Tabor has made a good record in intercollegiate debate, and all stu- dents who are interested may pursue this work un- der expert training. CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. Tabor College has for many years maintained a high reputation for the excellence of the work in the Conservatory of Music. People from miles away come every year to the annual concerts of the Ora- torio Society during the year and at Commencement time. Glee Clubs for both men and women, private lessons in piano, voice, violin, cello, pipe-organ and other instruments are some of the opportunities of- fered. The Oratorio Society is well known for its anrtual concerts in December, May and June. Men’s Sextette on tour EXPENSES The traditional policy of Tabor has been to offer highest standard of instruction at the lowest possi- ble cost. A study of the catalog and comparison with other colleges will show that this tradition is being maintained. Tuition is $100.00 per year. Board and room are from $6.50 to $7.00 per week. Consult the catalog for other details. For those students who must earn their own ed- ucation there are many opportunities for self-help. The following from some cf last year’s students will show how they were able to meet the expenses of the college year: “Dad paid everything.” Several girls: “Earned all (or part) of my board and room by working at Woods Hall. “Karned tuition and board by doing college jani- tor work.” “Earned my tuition. The folks paid the rest.” “Mowed lawns.” “Took care of a church.” Several: “Worked in the homes of Tabor.” “Worked in the Crafts Department.” An upper-classman: “Read themes for my tuition.” “Assisted in the library.” Home of the Conservatory MN 3 0112 105959263 UN SULJUDIY AIAT, 401UaS aoYO180,] “DNOL *hOQDL, Ww saynye ssn79 DPUOIAN SD PII MOT ULMOU AAIQLA?
