ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. 
 
 The Administration building, erected in 1905-06 at a cost 
 of $65,000.00, is a large imposing" structure of brick and 
 stone. The walls of the principal rooms are tinted and fres- 
 coed. The large chapel is one of the handsomest halls of 
 its kind in the state. The recitation rooms are large^ sup- 
 \)]\v(\ with good seats, an abundance of light, good ])]ack- 
 boards, and other conveniences for teaching. The scientific 
 department is located in the basement of this building. The 
 laboratories are large rooms well furnished and erpiipped. 
 The society halls and the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. rooms 
 are attr-active and well fui-nished. The entire ])uilding is 
 heated with steam and lighted with electiicity.

 is healed with «as and lighted with electricity. 
 
 Tne Dormitory is the best place for boys at the Wesleyan. 
 The testimony of the Dormitory boys is: ''lAve with the 
 fellows, and you will never regret it." In the Dormitory 
 one bed room is always reserved for any old student that 
 may stop in Winchester for a night. At Clark Hall a genuine 
 welcome awaits every visiting K. W. C. student. 
 ^^M4here is no Dormitory for girls at the Wesleyan, they 
 in ay secure boai^. in approved private homes. 
 
 OUR NEW LIBRARY. 
 
 Our new libraty is completed. The cost pri^e $i 5,000.00, 
 was a gift of Mr. Carnegie. The friends of the Wesleyan 
 contributed $15,000.00 for its endowment. It is a beautiful 
 stone structure. On the main floor are the stack rooms, 
 librarian's room, and two reading rooms. The furniture is 
 of first class material, good workmanship, and attractive in

 appiaiaiice. On the basement iiocrs are the furnace ]*ooni, 
 unpacking- i-ooni, toilet rooms, and a large i oom that may 
 l)e used for an additional stack room. The buildini>- is heated 
 with hot water and lighted with electricity. The libi-ary is 
 inderd a valuable addition to our college plant. 
 
 Recently the library has received several donations (»f 
 books. A large pai*t of the private library of the late Dr. 
 Iv II. Pearce will be placed in the library before the opening 
 of* college in September. 
 
 TilK PRh]PARATORY DEPARTMENT. 
 
 During the year 1906, a two-:stoi'y brick and ston^ build- 
 ing was erected on the campus for the use of the l^repai-a- 
 tory Dei)ar'tinent. This building is modern in all its ap- 
 pointments; its rooms are large and well lighted and heated. 
 
 THE PRESIDENTS HOME. 
 
 This l)uilding- was recently purchased by the l^oaid of 
 Kdncation for the president's use. It is a neat frame build- 
 ing, conveniently arranged, and well located, it is situated 
 just acioss the street from the cami)us. At the home of the 
 I)j('sident, the students and friends of the Wesleyan are 
 ever- welcoiiie. 
 
TIIK (JYMNASIUIVI. 
 
 The okl gyiimasiuin was too small, especially for Uaskct- 
 bnll puiposes, so it was determined to provide an additional 
 j^ymnasium. J^ast fall the ])ioom plant was torn down and 
 rebuilt to meet our <»ymnasium neuls. The new gymnasium 
 is a concrett-block buildinji. Jt has a fine floor. There are 
 two dressing' I'ooms connected with this building. The batii 
 room, equipped with shower baths, is connected with th<? 
 old gymnasium. The old gymnasium is equipped with, ap- 
 paratus necessary to the proper physical development of 
 the students. With two gymnasiums the M^esleyan can 
 surely meet all reasonable demands for physical training. 
 
 The Kentucky~Wesleyan is well located. Winchester is 
 situated at the intersection of three important railroads — 
 the Louisville and Nashville, the Chesapeake and Ohio, and 
 the Lexington and Eastern. There is no more healthful 
 location in Kentucky. Winchester is one of the best and 
 most attractive towns in the famous blue-grass region; and 
 there is no more attractive place in or about the town than 
 the Kentucky Wesleyan campus. There are eight acres in

 The Weslcyan is one of the recognized colleges {)f the 
 state. Fifteen units are required for admission; throuj^h 
 college courses leadiut? to the degree of B. S., A. B., and 
 M. A. Tbe work done at the Wesleyan is accepted by 
 leading universities. 
 
 Wesleyan graduates make good; fifty-six business mo)i, 
 72 teachers, 45 lawyers, 22 physicians, 26 farmers, 5 drug- 
 gists, 4 journalists, 6 college presidents, 1 Y. M. C. A. scc- 
 r-etary, 7 missionaries, 46 ministers. Graduates are in 28 
 Slates and 6 countries. Ten graduates this year make the 
 total number three hundred. 
 
 The Wesleyan is especially interested in those preparing 
 for the ministery and other Christian service. In addition 
 to the regular college courses, it offers a four yearns course^ 
 in the English Bible; also a cour*se in Sunday School and 
 Christian work methods. Many appreciating their value take 
 th(!se courses. The Bible course is required. 
 
 The college is also intensely interested in the education 
 of prospective teachers. Successful teaching demands 
 thorough preparation. There is an increasing demand foi' 
 college-trained teachers, especially is this true in connection 
 with the High schools. This year the demand has ])e(n 
 greater than the supply. As an incentive to prospective 
 teachers to secure more thorough preparation, the recent

 Athletic Association, Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, 
 StatT of the Kentucky Wesleyan and Student Volunteer Band. 
 
 Under supervision of the faculty Wesleyan teams are per- 
 mitted to take part in the intercollegiate athletics. The 
 various teams made a reasonably good record during the 
 past year. There is promise of greater interest, activity, 
 and success next year. There is a fine opportunity at the 
 Wesleyan for students desiring to take part in athletics.

 Kentucky Wesleyan College is a Christian institution — 
 not a sectarian institution. Its professors are Christians. 
 Wholesome moral and religious influence is brought to bear 
 upon the students. Christian students are stimulated to seek 
 the highest development of character and perfection of life; 
 non-Christian students are encouraged to accept Christ. The 
 object of the institution is to provide distinctively, Qhrimiau 
 education. The Christian college stands -^Or "the complete 
 development of the student ; body, mind, and soul. Believ- 
 ing the religious element essential to true education, Ken- 
 tucky Wesleyan College" provides for the same. 
 
 T^: college has just closed a very successful year, the 
 next session will open September 8th, 1915.

 THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. 
 
 The completion of the eighth grade is required for ad- 
 mission. The preparatory course is equivalent to a first- 
 class High school course. 
 
 The teachers are competent and experienced. We are for- 
 tunate in securing Prof. D. H. Lyon to assist in teaching in 
 this department next year. 
 
 Parents, contemplating sending children away from home 
 to secure High school training, would do well to place them 
 in the preparatory department at the Wesleyan. The ex- 
 pense will not be greater; the advantages will be much greater.
