The six buildings now in use by the institution cannot adequately be shown in a single picture, nor can all points of interest be included in such a work as this. But in the hope of giving a clearer idea of the institution than can be done alone by a descriptive catalogue, we present this book of views, hoping it may stimulate interest sufficient to follow an examination of its pages by a careful study of the catalogue, or better still, by a personal visit. Any further information not furnished by catalogue or booklet will be gladly supplied if inquiries are addressed to the President, Joseph H. Apple, Woman’s College, Frederick, Md. THE PRESIDENT IN HIS OFFICE A High Standard. hile the college offers courses in College or Preparatory, in Music or Art, in Expression, Domestic Science or Physical Culture, it maintains in each and all a high standard. This has been made possible by a faculty of trained teachers working with a body of earnest students. Each teacher is expected to be both an authority and an inspiration. Our teachers are constantly supplementing their training by vacation study under the best auspices at home and abroad. Students are thus given the benefit of the best that can be obtained, and are stimulated to be satisfied with nothing less than the best in their own work. THE ENTRANCE—EAST HALL Social Training. Jcarcely less important in the young woman’s preparation for life is the high social standard we strive to maintain. The mental training of the college woman makes it imperative that she have training as well in the forms and usages of good society. Her power is greatly enhanced when to her mental vigor is added the distinctive grace and charm of the cultured, well-bred woman. This important phase of our work is made definite and effective in a department presided over by the Lady Principal. THE PARLORS Religious Influences. highest and best place is to be accorded to g religious influences of the college. These g positively Christian and helpful. The 'ort is made to have them pervade every phase of the activity of teachers and students. And since we believe them to be of deepest significance, we aim to make them of most lasting benefit. They find definite expression in and through theworkings of theYoung Women’s Christian Association, which serves as a medium for individual study and training in religious work. COLLEGE HALL A Growing Library and a Trained Librarian. Indispensable to thorough work in any depart¬ ment is our large and growing library of well selected books, carefully indexed and made readily accessible to students by a trained librarian. THE LIBRARY Scientific Laboratories. N adequate number of laboratories is provided, equipped with sufficient apparatus for doing thorough work along modern lines. Biology, Physics, and Chemistry each has its separate laboratory. Only the last named is shown in the illus¬ tration. CHEMICAL LABORATORY A Gymnasium and a Physical Director. o maintain a healthy body as the necessary basis for a sound mind, we have a well equipped gymnasium and an athletic field, both under the supervision of a competent physical director. The gymnastics occupy the period from about December 1st to April 1st. Of course we require the regulation gymnasium suit and conduct the work according to the latest and best methods. Physical measurements at the beginning indicate the course best suited to each individual, and at its close show the results obtained. THE GYMNASIUM Athletics. rior to, and after the gymnasium work, physical exercise is obtained by means of Tennis, Croquet, Basket-Ball and Field Hockey. The campus is supplemented by an athletic field— one of the finest to be found anywhere. Teams are organized in the several sports and healthy rivalry leads to tournaments, and class or college contests. THE TENNIS COURTS The College Farm. he athletic field is located on the college farm of thirty acres, just ten minutes walk from the buildings. This is designed later to be the permanent home of the college. Meanwhile it supplies fresh milk and vegetables for the table, and also serves as an excellent outlet for the exuberant spirits of college girls. THE ATHLETIC FIELD Health. UR location was chosen on account of its healthfulness, and the record extending over many years has justified the choice. We avoid extremes of climate, have abundant food, pure air and water, and therefore, have little or no sickness. There is an excellently arranged and equipped infirmary, capable of complete isolation, and it conduces to the comfort and peace of mind of the entire institution to know that there is such adequate provision for caring for such cases of sickness as may arise. We do not show the infirmary in this booklet—it is so little used we hardly thought it worth while. THF, DINING ROOM Music. UR work in music is carried forward in a regularly organized Conservatory with separate building, faculty and course of study. A Director gives his entire time to teaching and supervising the work of four associates. New pianos throughout, and a new pipe organ constitute an admirable equipment. Concerts and recitals by students, teachers, and artists from a distance, aid in stimulating ambition and creating an atmosphere that is helpful to students of both college and conservatory. MUSIC DIRECTOR'S STUDIO Art. School of Art also has its separate studio, teacher and assistant, and its course of idy leading to graduation. Drawing, Crayon¬ s', painting in water, oils, and china, sketching, designing, and modeling all receive due attention. The work is exhibited twice a year and calls forth general commendation. The course prepares either for practical work or for teaching. THE ART STUDIO Dome&ic Science and Art. roviding for the intellectual, the physical, the social, the spiritual, and the artistic, we do not neglect the domestic side of a young woman’s education. In a fully equipped and arranged dining room and kitchen under the instruction of a trained teacher, the class prepares and consumes a regular meal. The course includes one year for practical home use ; the second a Normal course of two years, with certificate for those intending to teach. A thorough theoretical, and practical training in the nutritive, chemical and financial values of foods, with their relative prepara¬ tion for families and institutions is given. In Domestic Art, special attention is paid to the drafting of garments and dress making. H re. STUDENTS' ROOM School of Expression. he School of Expression is fortunate in the possession of a completely equipped hall with scenery and stage settings, with a seating capacity of 300. Here an experienced teacher gives instruction in elocution and public reading, and also trains in dramatic expression. Plays are given at intervals throughout the year, and students are given practice in public appearances. A Normal department prepares for teaching, and many of its graduates have already made good records as teachers. SENIOR DRAMATICS "TWELFTH NIGHT” REFERENCES Mr. Edwin Pettit, Stuttgart, Ark.
