Chorus — Bragg's Headquarters’ Tower, Mission Ridge flUjattannoga HE City of Chattanooga is an ideal spot for a university. Situated in the very center of one of the greatest battlefields of the Civil War, in the midst of the most beautiful natural surroundings, with a high class of citizenship, and a healthful and salubri- ous climate, it is, in many respects, unex- celled as a college town. The University grounds consist of about thirteen acres, in one of the finest residence portions of the city, so elevated as to command an unob- structed view of Lookout Mountain, Mis- sionary Ridge, and Walden’s Ridge, with glimpses of the Tennessee River as it winds its way through the mountain ridges and plateaus. Chattanooga from Lookout Mountain— The Moccasin Bend Here were fought : The battle of Lookout Mountain — the “Battle Above the Clouds,” the battle of Mission- ary Ridge, and the battle of Chickamauga ; and here occurred the siege of Chattanooga. The Federal and State governments have recognized the historical import - ance of these points, and have spent millions of dollars in the creation of parks, the building of roads, and the erection of monuments. No person can view these scenes and contemplate the events of the past, which they commemorate, without becoming a broader and more patriotic citizen — an inportant factor in a well-rounded education. Opportunity is afforded for many interesting trips to these places of historic interest, and to the many beauti- ful spots around the city, such as Lookout Mountain, Lulah Falls, Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga Park, Lulah Falls, Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, Lookout Mountain Bridge over the Tennessee River National Cemetery, Walden’s Ridge and Mission Ridge, and the delightful boat excursions up and down the Tennessee River. Chattanooga is a city of 90,000 and is centrally located with regard to Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, St. Louis, Louis- ville, Cincinnati, etc. It is, in fact, one of the great railroad centers of the South, having nine trunk lines o f railway. Twenty -five million dollars are invested in manufacturing enterprises, employ- ing twenty -two thousand men. Chatta- nooga is a city whose progressive citizen- ship is deeply interested in the Uni- versity. Business men of the city are ‘Bluff View” National Cemetery, Chattanooga always ready to give work to self-supporting students and work is, as a rule, plentiful. This fact must appeal to many students. It has ten hotels, two steamer lines, two hospit- als, two infirmaries, one hundred churches, a $200,000.00 Y. M. C. A. building, a Carnegie Li- brary, an Auditorium , four theatres, two daily papers, and a ball park seating 10,000 people. It has thirty miles of paved streets, eighty miles of sewers and seventy -three miles of trolley lines. Among its many fine pub - lie buildings, may be named the fine new ter- minal station, custom house and post office, Hotel Patten, James Building, City Hall, Hamilton National Bank Building and the new Court House. The city has been and still is no small factor in the devel- opment of our nation. Georgia State Monument, Chickamauga Fort Oglethorpe, Chiclcamauga New Terminal Station variety of industries, geographical location, climate, religious life, etc., make Chattanooga the ideal place for an institution such as is now desired and necessary for a liberal education. Here the student comes in vital touch with the great political and industrial problems of the day. In these respects the University is as favorably located as are the institutions in the larger cities of the country.

Building (Hhr flnutfraitg O WHERE you will about the City of Chattanooga, two things will always be in plain view. One is “Old Lookout” and the other is the University of Chat- tanooga. Situated upon the highest eminence in a residence section, the main college build- ing overlooks all the surround- ing territory, and is the first building seen from the car win- dow by the traveller entering the city. The campus embraces almost the whole square be- tween McCallie, Oak, Baldwin and Douglas streets, and just north, across Oak Street, an entire square, extending from Oak to Vine streets. Electric cars pass through the campus every few minutes. Rapid transit is readily afforded to every section of the city, Bird’s-eye View of the Campus President Race and outlaying suburbs, and students can room and board wherever they please in the bounds of this terri- tory. Upon the campus are found the main college building, four stories in height, containing the college chapel, class-rooms and literary society halls, the lab- oratory building, another four-story building devoted entirely to class-rooms and laboratories, the president’s home, a splendid new structure just completed, and the finest college athletic field in the entire South — “Chamberlain Field” — fully equipped with commodious grand- stand and bleachers, with a gridiron, diamond, and running- track. In addition to these, three well- cared-for tennis courts have been provided just out- side the field. The members of the university faculty are men and women of scholarship and attainments, having been trained in the best universities of America and Europe. By far the greater part of the instruction, both in the elementary and advanced subject, is given by professors, and not by assistants and tutors. The student, on entering, comes at once into direct per- sonal touch with the best teachers and scholars of the institution. The University insists upon thorough Main Building work in all its departments. The facilities for instruction in the class-room and laboratories are of the most approved character and vary in accordance with the subject and needs of the students. The means for laboratory work in the various departments of science are ample, and the equipment is carefully selected, all the laboratories having been equipped with new apparatus. From year to year W. W. Hooper, Dean additions are The phys- laboratory for demon- laboratory of apparatus recent de- ially adapted tion in mechanics, heat, sound, light ity.

The biological laboratory has accommodations for about forty students. The laboratory is well furnished with tables, cases, sinks, excellent compound microscopes of the more recent design, cameras lucidas, immersion lenses, gas, water, incubators, air baths, aquaria, glassware, chemicals, jars, specimens, models, charts, books, period- icals, etc. ; in fact, with the necessary facilities to teach biology, histology, embryology, compara- tive anatomy, etc. The psychological laboratory on the fourth floor occupies rooms which are well fitted for demon- stration and practical work in optics and acoustics. These rooms are also connected with the neuro- logical laboratory. The psychological laboratory is well equipped with new and standard apparatus for general and special courses in experimental psychology.

In connection with the Carnegie library which is Stack Room Corner in the — open at all times for students of the University, over 20,000 volumes, comprising the best and newest works on literature, University Library art, science, education, philosophy, history, politics, sociology, economics, etc., are at the disposal of the student, as well as a large number of magazines and periodicals which are kept on file. Carnegie Library The Chapel GJljr (ttltapi'l 1^]HE chapel of the University is located on the second floor of the main building, just over the library. It has ample seating capac- ity for three hundred and fifty; is well lighted, and is seated throughout with opera-chairs. Here religious exercises are held daily at 10 a.m., all students being required to attend. The location of the school is such as to enable the University to se- cure frequent visits and lectures from the most eminent men of the country. Contests in Oratory and Debate as well as the Inter- Society Contests are held here, and numerous entertainments are given from time to time by the various organizations of the college. A Student’s Room g’tuiJrnts’ Snouts There are about forty students’ rooms in the main building. The rooms are pleasant and well lighted. A new steam heating plant has just been installed in this building. From the rooms one may look out upon scenery that is unexcelled, girt around on every side with the mountains and “the everlasting hills.” The President’s New Home (nearing completion) The “College Beautiful Club” at Work “Chamberlain Field" — A Part of the College Campus Athlrtira ^IHE two views given here of the famous “Chamberlain Field” express more vividly than words the fine athletic advantages which students of the University of Chattanooga enjoy. Football, baseball, basketball, track work and tennis all have their places in the athletic world.

The splendid gymnasium is afforded of all plays upon the field, and the “diamond” and “track” are also advan- tageously placed for spectators to see all that is taking place during the games. Last year our football team — “The Moccasins” won three games, tied two and lost two. The complete record is given below : ‘Playing the Game” Football Team— 1909 Tennis Courts of the Y. M. C.

Two of these are for men and one, the Kappa Chi, is for the young women. A spirit of friendly rivalry adds spice to the ^nrirltra routine work and the many inter-society contests keep the interest at concert- pitch. Each one of the so- cieties has an attractive hall in which to hold its Patten Hall Patten Literary Society meetings. The literary work done by these or- ganizations is kept up to a high standard and forms no small part of a student’s education. Kappa Chi Society Senior Class— 1910 Scene from College Play “A Word to the Wise" Dramatics HE students in the department of Oratory present at least one play each year. The annual Shakespearean play given at Commencement being the most important one of the year. An original farce, “A Word to the Wise” was given in 1908, Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” was played on the stage of the college chapel in 1909, and “As You Like It” was presented on the college campus this year. The play was given at night, the grassy stage being illuminated by means of searchlights placed in the upper windows of the college building. Scenes from all these plays are reproduced here.

Cash prizes in oratory are offered by Mr. John A. Patten, of the Board of Trustees each year, and other cash prizes in debate, by Mr. J. E. Annis, also a member of the Board. Contests are held in both schools annually, members of various literary societies competing. In ad- dition to these, the contest for the Chattanooga Savings Bank prize which is offered to the literary society present- ing the best program during an evening is a highly inter- esting event. The University paper, “The Echo,” which is pub- lished twice a month by the students of the University, affords another means by which the literary tastes of stu- dents may find cultivation. It is filled with matter per- taining to the various activities of the school, and affords a record of college affairs which is highly prized by alumni after graduation, as well as being a matter of interest to all undergraduates. Each year the various literary soci- eties take the publication of a special issue in hand and the rivalry in this direction is intense. SJpltgtmiB .IJnfUu'iin's The University is non-sectarian in the fullest sense of the word. Its aim has always been to build character upon the fundamental principles of the Christian religion. The members of the faculty have been appointed without regard to their church affiliations. Every effort is being made to surround the students with religious influences. The moral tone of the students is healthy, and the standard of conduct high and well maintained. The social life is remarkably free from the usual objectionable features. There are no saloons in the city. Through the large Bible class, the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., the Young Men’s daily and weekly prayer- meeting, and other Christian organizations, active and effective religious work is carried on, and everything is being done to develop an attractive and harmonious social and religious life in accordance with the highest ideals of Christian character. 7C VttPtlRPf?

The habits of students have much to do with the cost of living, but for such as expect to attend, the following itemized statement will give a careful estimate: H* 1 jKKA \ V Of TjHiP Tuition $50 Incidental fees 15 Boaixi re . n .V..""^^^ ... ^ Laundry Books .. 10 xjvERsirr of Illinois Minus tuition $136 statemen t will give a c ... $50 $30 $50 15 15 ... 18 32 48 ... 85 102 135 ... 8 10 16 ... 10 12 15 $186 $221 $279 $171 $229 “Unrkinx} (fur’s Wag” is the one almost universally in use. Through free scholarships, loan funds, etc., students may reduce their expenses by the sum of fifty dollars, which is the cost of tuition. But working one’s way through This is probably the only institution in the South that is so favorably located, on account of its being in one of the greatest manufacturing and industrial centers in the South, for a student of limited, and in fact, no means whatever, ex- cept talent and will to work. Upon investigation it has been found that about 40 per cent, of the students earn part of their expenses, and that 45 per cent, earn all their expenses. In fact, some students arrive with no money whatever, something which we do not encourage, but they are willing to do anything and are determined to face all difficulties. Such a class of students never fail to secure work. Students cUar on an average from $5.00 to $6.00 per week. The most in- experienced not less than $4.00, while a few clear from $8.00 to $10.00 per week. Booms are to be had in the University building as low as 50 cents per week. This includes heat. If the student is economical, $4.00 per week will cover all necessary expenses. This work does not interfere to any extent with the studies of the student if he works systematically and industriously. A large number of the students deliver newspapers, which work is done before or after recitations or lectures of the day, and on a commission basis.
