 FOUNDATION AND OBJECT. 
 
 NoRTHFiELD SEMINARY was founded by Mr. D. 
 L. Moody and his friends, in the year 1879. 
 
 This Institution is designed to promote the 
 Christian education of young women. 
 
 The instruction, discipKne, and influences are such 
 as, it is beheved, will secure the best results in the 
 development of character, and be the most fitting 
 preparation for a life of consecrated service. 
 
 It has been the aim to bring the advantages of 
 the Seminary within the means of those who would 
 find it difficult to obtain an education elsewhere. 
 
 LOCATION AND GROUNDS. 
 
 Northfield is situated in northern Massachusetts^ 
 just on the boundary of Vermont and New Hamp- 
 shire. It is on the New London Northern Rail- 
 road, and is about twelve miles from Greenfield, 
 Mass., and the same distance from Brattleboro, 
 Vermont. 
 
 Connection with the Ashuelot and Connecticut 
 River Railroad can easily be made at South Vernon 
 Junction, two miles distant. 
 
Northfield is one of the most beautiful and health- 
 ful of New England towns. 
 
 The Seminary grounds include over two hundred 
 and fifty acres, and afford abundant opportunities for 
 exercise and recreation. A beautiful little lake has 
 recently been added to the Seminary property, and 
 skating and boating are thus made possible. 
 
 The buildings are situated on ground sufficiently 
 elevated to secure good drainage, and command 
 charming views of the surrounding hills, the winding 
 Connecticut, and the distant mountains. 
 
 BUILDINGS. 
 
 The Recitation Hall is in the center of the group 
 of Seminary buildings. In this beautiful and sub- 
 stantial stone hall all the recitations are conducted, 
 thus removing the noise of the schoolroom from the 
 home life. It is also believed that the short walk to 
 and from classes promotes the health of the stu- 
 dents. 
 
 In addition to its numerous and convenient class- 
 rooms, the Recitation Hall contains chemical, phys- 
 ical, and botanical laboratories for practical work. 
 A large chapel occupies the center of the second 
 floor. The rooms at the right and left of the chapel 
 are so arranged that the whole of the second floor 
 can be thrown into one vast assembly hall. 
 
 The Talcott Library, the gift of Mr. James Tal- 
 cott, is in process of erection. It will be complete 
 in all its appointments, and will supply what has 
 
> 
 <: 
 
 UJ 
 
 c/> 
 
been a growing need of the Seminary. There are 
 about 3,500 volumes belonging to the Library. 
 These are made as serviceable as possible by the 
 card catalogue and Dewey system of classification. 
 
 Near the Recitation Hall and the Talcott Library, 
 are Marquand Hall, East Hall, and Weston Hall, 
 the homes of the students. 
 
 The Frederick Marquand Memorial Hall, the gift 
 of Mr. D. W. McWilhams, a residuary legatee of 
 the Marquand estate, accommodates eighty-three 
 students, East Hall accommodates sixty, and Weston 
 Hall, the gift of Mr. David M. Weston, has room 
 for forty-five. Besides these halls, two small build- 
 ings, which have been arranged for Seminary use, 
 furnish quiet homes for thirty-nine. 
 
 No expense has been spared in making the build- 
 ings convenient and attractive. They are thoroughly 
 furnished, warmed by steam or furnace heat, lighted 
 by gas, have an excellent water supply, and com- 
 plete arrangements for ventilation. 
 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. 
 
 Candidates for admission to the Seminary must 
 be at least fifteen years of age, and must pass satis- 
 factory examinations in the following studies : — 
 
 Arithmetic, to Interest ; English Grammar, to 
 Syntax. 
 
 Warren's Common School Geography, to South 
 America. 
 
8 
 
 These examinations will admit to the Preparatory 
 class. 
 
 Candidates for the Junior class must pass exam- 
 inations through Arithmetic, English Grammar, and 
 Analysis, Geography, United States History, and 
 Civil Government. 
 
 Candidates fitted to enter the Junior class, will be 
 received in preference to those entering their names 
 for the Preparatory. 
 
 Students desiring to enter any class in advance 
 of the Junior, must pass examinations in the sub- 
 jects required in the Course of Study laid out for the 
 preceding years. 
 
 Students will not take special studies until the 
 work of the Preparatory year has been completed. 
 
 All who desire to be admitted at the beginning of 
 the winter or spring term, must pass examinations 
 on the work laid out for the previous terms in the 
 Course of Study which they wish to enter. 
 
 Before the candidate is accepted, she will be 
 required to fill out and return the blank which will 
 be forwarded to her on her application. 
 
 It is requested that a careful statement be made 
 with reference to health, as teachers cannot take the 
 responsibility of caring for young ladies who are 
 delicate. To meet the requirements of the Seminary 
 life, good health becomes an absolute necessity. 
 
 GOVERNMENT. 
 
 The government of our family is such as is need- 
 ful for the good of all ; and the ultimate end of all 
 
discipline is to aid in establishing habits of thought- 
 fulness, self-control, and courtesy. 
 
 No student who is unwilling to meet these require- 
 ments, or who seems to lack appreciation of the 
 benefits received, can expect to be retained, to the 
 injury of others, and the exclusion of more deserving 
 applicants. 
 
 It is desired that only those shall apply who have 
 a thirst for knowledge, and such an aim as will lead 
 them to improve every opportunity, and enter heart- 
 ily into the spirit of the Institution. 
 
 RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE. 
 
 While the Seminary is in no sense sectarian, it is 
 decidedly Christian in its purpose. 
 
 The study of the Bible is continued throughout 
 the course, since it is beUeved that a thorough 
 knowledge of the Scriptures should underlie and 
 overlie all education. 
 
 Lectures upon subjects connected with Bible 
 study are given frequently during the year. 
 
 It is desired to surround the students with such 
 
 religious and social influences as are fitted, with the 
 
 blessing of God, to bring them to the responsibilities 
 
 of life in the spirit of earnest consecration to the 
 
 • Master. 
 
 MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 A Missionary Society has been organized, and is 
 successfully sustained by the young ladies. Monthly 
 meetings are held, and the money contributed is 
 devoted to objects of benevolence. 
 
10 
 
 GYMNASIUM. 
 
 The Gymnasium is well equipped with apparatus. 
 Chest-weights, pulleys, the quarter-circle, rowing- 
 machine, clubs, and various other gymnastic ap- 
 pHances, are used by the students under the direction 
 of a teacher. It is the aim to secure health and the 
 best physical development. 
 
 DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT. 
 
 The students perform all the work of the house, 
 under the supervision of the Matron. 
 
 It is beheved that this system serves as an impor- 
 tant factor in the formation of character, and pro- 
 motes the health of the young ladies. 
 
 Each young lady is expected to perform cheerfully 
 the portion of work assigned her. 
 
 Laundry conveniences are furnished in the build- 
 ings for all the young ladies who desire to do their 
 own washing ; clothes are laun dried outside at fifty 
 cents per dozen. 
 
 TO APPLICANTS. 
 
 The rooms are nearly all designed for the use of 
 two students. They are pleasantly furnished, and 
 are provided with student-lamps. 
 
 Each student will bring her own sheets and pillow- 
 cases, towels, soap, napkins, napkin-ring, umbrella, 
 waterproof, and rubber shoes. Pillow-cases should 
 be made nineteen inches wide ; and sheets to fit 
 
II 
 
 single beds three feet wide. A gymnastic suit is 
 also necessary. All articles must be distinctly 
 marked with the owner's name in full. 
 
 Dentistry, shopping, and dressmaking should be 
 attended to in vacations, that nothing which fore- 
 thought can prevent may interfere with the regular- 
 ity of school-work. 
 
 All are expected to be present on the first day of 
 the term, and should come the day previous to the 
 date named in the Calendar for the opening of the 
 term, unless other arrangements have been made 
 with the Principal. 
 
 Students will not have boxes of food sent them. 
 No objection is made, however, to their receiving 
 fresh fruit. 
 
 Books and stationery can be bought at cost at the 
 Seminary Bookstore. 
 
 It is desirable that the students should bring with 
 them such books of reference as they may have. 
 The following are suggested : — 
 
 ENGLISH DICTIONARY, GEOGRAPHY, 
 ANCIENT ATLAS, BIBLE DICTIONARY, 
 
 CONCORDANCE, STANDARD HISTORICAL 
 
 AND POETICAL WORKS. 
 
 Applicants will address,

 helping poor girls who desire an education, and who 
 are ready to do all they can for themselves. The 
 assistance is given in the form of loans, which 
 those who receive the aid are to pay back without 
 interest, when they are able.

 membership fees and donations, and it is hoped that 
 all who are interested in this worthiest of all chari-

 selves, will identify themselves with this Society, 
 and send their contributions to aid in its work.
