J.A•gi~lature in the same vcar a~ a College of Liberal Arts and Letter~,
and first opened its dour~ for the admission of stud~ntH in September,
1872. It is de~igm•d to ~ecure the highest grade of Classical, Scientific,
and Literary culture known to American Colleges.
LOCATION.
Buchtel College is lneated in Akron, Summit County, Ohio.
This city, with a population of about :50,000, is situated in the mid;.;t of
hills and valleys, an•l i~ one of the most picturesque in the country.
It is a h!>althy city, and ea;;y nf acees.~, heing loeat!'d on the line nf the
1\ew York, Penmylnmia & Ohio; Clen~land, Akron & Columbus;
Valley; Pittsburgh & \\'estern; J'ittshurgh, Akron & \Vestern; Akron
& Chieago .Junction (B. &. 0.) Railways, and haYing direct eonm•etion with all parts of the country.
COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.
The curriculum embraces:
Fw,-T: ,\ Classical Course.
SEcmm: A Philosophical Cour;;e.
THIRD:
A Scientific Course.
These are four-years courses and are e•pwl to those adopted by
the best institutions of the countr.L
PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.
In !'onnection with the College proper, the Trustees have pstahlishe•l a Preparatory ~cho<>l, in which students arc thoroughly fitted
for the college classes. The eonrse is fi1ll and practical, consisting of
the ~tudies usually fiHtiHl in lligh Sehools and Academies.
NORMAL WORK.
Teacher~, and t.ho~e d<'~igning to tk'ach, will receiYc Fpccial attention from thorough and experienced teachers in those studies which
}·:xaminin.~ Boards make essential to a thorough professional education.
-1~{-
Regular work will be given in Methods of Teaching, and in the Art of
School Management, whereby students may be better prepared for good
and successful work in their own school rooms. Certificates will be
given to those completing the N oi:'mal Course. For further information see page 4 7.
MUSIC.
Superior advantages are afforded for the study of Music, both
instrumental and vocal.
ART.
Buchtel Qollege offers excellent advantages for the study of Art.
LABORATORY AND APPARATUS.
The College is provided with excellent Mathematical Instruments,
and Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus of the most approved kind.
It has a laboratory open to students, well furnished with appliances for
making chemical experiments and analyses.
The Department of
Natural History is also well supplied with miscroscopes for the prosecution of biological work.
ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY.
The Observatory is intended for the use of students, and, although
some of the apparatus is very delicate and costly, yet it will be freely
placed in the hands of those students who prepare themselves for its
use. It is furnished with the following instruments :
An Equatorial Telescope of 4.5 inches aperture.
A 'Meridian Circl~ of 3 inches aperture provided with various
necessary accessory apparatus, and so mounted that it can be used as a
Zenith Telescope.
·
Two fine Astronomical Clocks furnished with electric connections.
A Chronograph.
Various other minor apparatus.
The Observatory is also a Meteorological Station of the Ohio State
Meteorological Bureau.
CABINET Of' NATURAL HISTORY.
The College Museum proper contains a fair collection of minerals
and fossils with the leading types of recent animal life. It is adapted
for teaching rather than for show, and the specimens are chosen with
the same object in view.
The collection consists of two parts-the gen~ral mu~eum, illustrating Natural History in general, and the local collection, intended
-14-
t.o illustrate the natural history of the region m which the College is
situated.
The new Science Hall, now in process of construction, will fimn an
q>Och in the histDry of the scientific department. The overcrowding
from whieh it has so long suffered will be relieved and greater justice
ean he done to the classes in Natural History and to the accumulated
material now stored in places where it is inaccessible when wanted .
.1\ II thi~ will become available for exhibition and for teaching. At the
iiame time the specimens now in hand will not suffice for the new
requirements, and contributions arc earnestly solicited from friends of
education in grncral and of Buchtel College in particular..
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
The College Library contains a m~ll selected collection of works
especially adapted to college uses. It numbers about 6,000 bound
volumes, exclusive of public documents, and a large collection of unbound pamphlets, all of which are arranged and classified by the Dewey
system of classification. The reference department is lib~rally supplied
with dictionaries, encyclopedias, hound sets of periodicals (many of
which arc complete, to date, or nearly so), and other works of reference,
which are accessible to students during all library hours.
The collection of books is being catalogued upon cards, and it is
expected that the usefulness of the Library will be much increased
when the catalogues are completed up to date. The catalogue of
authors is nearly finished and about ready to be thrown open to general
Ui'C.
During the college session the Library is open to the usc of students
daily (except Saturdays and Sundays), from 8 A.M. to 9 P. M. On
Saturdays it is open from 9 A. lii. to 9 P. lii., and on Sundays the
reference department and reading room are open from 8:30 to 9::30
A. llf., and from 2 to 5:30 1'. lii.
Books may be drawn from the Circulating Library by all officers
and students ofthc College.
In connection with the Library there is a Reading Room, upon
whose file~ are to be found many of the leading publications of the day.
This is considered an important part of the opportunities offered for
education. The subscript_ion list embraces eighty-seven periodicals,
di~tributed as follows:
Twenty-two on literary and educational
subjects; twenty-four on Natural and Physical Science; six on Mathematics and Astronomy; ten on Theology and Ethics; fonr on Political

COLLEGIATE COURSES.
THREE COURSES OF STUDY.
To att<ml an extensive field for the choice of studies, three
regular cour~fH, each of four years, arc provided, with three .'·pars of
preparatory work. These are:
I. The Classical Course, with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts,
for graduation.
1 I. The Philosophical Course, with the Degree of Bachelor of
Philosophy.
IlL
Science.
The Scientific Course, with the Degree of Baehelor of
ELECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES.
Buchtel College stands in line with the most progressive edncatnrs
aml colleges in the country in pre::;enting very extensive elective course~ .
.\..II studies in the above named con r~es are elective after the fir~t
term of the Sophomore year. Each student is expected to select finu·
subjects, sixteen recitation~, per week ; and to choose, as far as practicable, consecuti,·e lines of work. Those clectiug Htudies will be requirPd
to satisfy the Faculty that they arc qualified to pur~ue them, and &J to
elect that they will be able to obtain the reqni:-;ite number of subject~
each ~ession throughout the course. Hy mean~ of this system, applying
as it does to the latter two-thirds of the eom:>e, the professors are
enabled to extend each department of work considerably beyond
the limitations of the ordinary coliPge curriculum, and students are
enabled to follow out those lines of advanced study most congenial to
them. The experience of several year~ has proved this llletho<l to he
highly satisfactory and suecessful.
Students are re11uired to hand to the President, at least two weeks
before the beginning of any term, a list of their eleetive studic~ f(n· that
term.
TERMS OF ADMISSION.
Candidates for the Freshman Claso:, not }!resenting satisfactory
grad1'S, will be required to pass an ex:unination in the follo\ving or

SPECIAL STUDENTS.
All stndent.'l are advised to pursue a regular course of study, even
if it cannot be completed. Those students, however, who do not desire
to study for a degree, may obtain permission, by petition to the Faculty,
to select such branches and special lines of study a.~ they may be fiJUnd
fitted to pursue. Such irregular student.'l admitted to college cla..,scs
must be >'Ufficiently advanced to have substantially completed a high
school or college preparatory course of study.
Thus an opportunity is offered to a considemble nmuhcr of young
people who do not wi;;h to spend time for a filii course, but who desire
<"ome colleg~ work. Those preparing to teach, those fitting for business,
or those who intend to give time to mu;.ie or art, are especially thus
accommodated. Such students will also find thcmselve,; proportionally
adnmccd, should the~· later decide to take a regular course.
On the completion of their studil'"· such students will receive a
<'crtificate stating what work has been done.

SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTION
BY DEPARTMENTS.
MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY, AND NATURAL
THEOLOGY.
PRESIDENT CONE.
Psychology, which is an elective for the Juniors in the second and
third terms, is taught by text-books and oral instruction. Theses on
_important topics in the· science are required of studentR pursuing the
study, and are subjected . to criticism and discussion in the class.
The study and discussion of questions of metaphysics proper, constitute
the larger part of the work during the latter half of the third term.
Moral Philosophy is an elective in the last two terms of the Senior
year, and embraces theoretical and practical ethics, and discussions of
the origin of ethical ideas in the light of modern philosophy.
Natural Theology, which is an elective for the Seniors in the first
term, embraces a study of the evidences of Theism and a· critical
examination of the arguments from cosmology, teleology, etc., with a
view of the theories of modern speculation.
POLITICAL SCIENCE.
PRESIDENT CONE.
Political Economy is an elective for the Seniors in the first term,
and is taught so as to present the history of the science and lead to
a thorough comprehension of established principles. The reading of
the works of the masters of the science is called for in the preparation
of the theses required of the class.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE.
PROF. C. 1\f. KNIGHT, A. 1\f.
Ghemistry.-The elements of inorganic chemistry are taught by
recitations, lectures, and practical work in the laboratory. Each
student is assigned a desk in the laboratory, furnished with apparatus
and chemicals, and it is required that every statement shall be illustrated and confirmed by experiment ; each student is further required
to manufacture one or more salts under each basic element, and to
explain fully the proc;ess and principles involved.

.\ course iu blow-pipe aualysis iuclucles the tests for elcmeuts as
they occur in ort>-S of greatest economic value. The instruction in
organic chemistry consists of recitations, lectures aud laboratory work.
The lectmt:>s cli~euss the theories and present the latest rcsearche;,;; work
in the laboratory eornprisr.s proximate aualysis and the preparations, hy
:.;ynthcsis, of organic products.
Thf' in,.:truction in analytical chemistry cxt{mds through the larger
part of the ."1 unior year; the course, including qualitati \·e aurl quantitati n: analysis, involves such a variety of methods and processes as will
enable the student to undertake any chemical analysis.
fndustrial chemistry is taught hy lectures and laboratory practice.
\\·heuever practicable, actual products are exhibited to the student~, and
tlte manufacturing processes reproduced in miniature. The great losses
h:· imperfect methods of manufacture and by waste products are pointed
out, and the student taught t'> see the true economy of production.
Jllu~trativc of the topics studied, \"isits are made to various marmfacturing estahli~hments, and an opportunity given to see manufacturing
OJ'Cratiom:l iu actual working.
Pli!J-'ir·.,.-'flle course includes rccitatiom, lcc~tures and laboratory
practice in Optics, Heat, .Acoustics and Electricity. A simple ex po~i­
tion of tlw experimental f'acts of these branches is first undertaken,
fi.llowecl by theoretical discussions to show the connection of their
principl(~~. and to bring out their common relation to the doctrine of
the conserYation of energy. Leeturcs prc:sent the recent advances of
Phy~ieal f-'cienee, awl point out the practical application of its
prineiples. The Huhject of Photography, induding it~ variou;; application~ in the science~ aud arts, iR taught by pmctical work.
Sttl(l<'nt~ arc required to become familiar with the projecting lantern
a~ an in~tnunent of demonstration in the lecture room, and, in general,
to perform with their own hands all experimental illu~tration. The
apparatus fur illu1;trating general principles is being ~upplenwnted by
in~trument:; fin· making accurate mcasurcrnents.
Thosl' wishing to take Physics mu~t take the 1\fechanic~ of tlw

MODERN LANGUAGES.
J'HOF. !'. F. KOLBE, A. 111., I'll. 1>.
The ( ;erman and French languages, the leading one::: among- the
J\f,,dern Lauguage~ in Buchtel Colll•ge, arc taught with a Yicw to the
!-!reateRt prartieal result~. The German language, r~pccially, reC'eives
full recogniti<m in Buchtel College. lt i~ on unequal footing with ot.her
;;turlie;. in the result~ obtained thmt a seveml years' C'oursr. It i~ taken
-:ll--
up, as a new study, in the Freshman Class (except by students of the
Classical Course, who may begin the study of German in the Junior
year), and is made obligatory during this year, as well as the first term
of the Sophomore year. It may be continued during the remainder of
the Sophomore and the entire Jimior year.
Thus a three years' course with requirements corresponding to a
'systematic progress, guarantees to the faithful student an accurate and
comprehensive knowledge, furnishing the key to the vast field of literature vouchsafed by this language.
Beyond this, however, the course of instruction recognizes the
practical claims of the German language, in a country where millions of
German-speaking people live, where business relations and demands, in
their various forms, call for an actual and practical use of this language,
and where, ,therefore, this language, above all, should become a living
language in..the mouth of the student. To obtain this end, in its widest
possible range, the German language is spoken, by the teacher and ·
student, in the class-room, a practice which is continued through the
entire course. The student who gradually becomes accustomed to the
sounds of the foreign language soon learns to use and express himself in
the same.
Buchtel College, then, uses the German language as the medium of
teaching German, and it can be said truthfully that, during the many
years of its use, satisfactory results in general, and surprising results in
very many cases, have been obtained by this well-tested method. 'With
this experience of past years, this department is prepared to extend its
requirements with each succeeding year, securing thereby to the student
increased benefits.
The French language is studied during the Senior year-at a time
when the discipline of years of study of other languages enables the
student of a more ripened judgment and increased ability of observation
to rapidly acquire and apply an extended knowledge of this language,
far in advance of requirements generally resulting from the study of this
language, for a similar period, under ordinary circumstances.
GREEK.
PROF. W. D. SHIPMAN, A. :>\f.
Mter a thorough course of preparation, we not only aim to acquire
a good knowledge of the Greek language, and to profit by the disciplinary drill attendant upon the study of its syntax, but we undertake to read the masterpieces of Ancient Greece, from a literary point
of view. This includes a study of the different kinds of composition;
written translations of select passages, both in prose and in verse; a
-32-
II
eouHich·ratiou of tla• plan and outline of all works studied, even though
they arr rPad hut in part; written sketeheii of the life, the style, and
the worb of each author taken up; and a study of the logical and
rhetorical feature~< which we arc constantly meeting.
The ntrious author;; read may be seen by consulting the Course of
Study. This \rill be adhered to for the must part, though oecasioJJal
de,·iatiou,; may be made.
Throughout the College ('our:'P-which iuelude~, hy rea~OJI of the
ekctive sy,.tem, the whole four years-Rome time is regularly devoted
tu related :,:ul~jcet", as follows: During the Fr!'8lunan year attention
i,.; given to c•pic peculiarities, the Homeric question, and the nature :tJI(I
leading fiJrms of history. During the~ Sophomore year we give espeeial
atteutiou to the origiu and cour~P of the drama. Jn connection with
t.ho .T unior work, WI' study during the fir~t term the princi pies of
oratory; in the second, the JWCtdiar character of Attic comcd y ; and
in connection with tlw Xcw Te~tmnent we gi\·e attention to the pPctdiaritics of dialect, the most illlportant IIJannseript< and \'crsion!>, and the
principles of textual critici~nl. During the Senior year, in the first
term \\'e con~ider thP fimns and phases of lyric poetry; in contwction
wit.h the study of l'lato, the ~en era! charaetPr :lllC! development of
philo~ophi<· thought aruonp; the Greeks; \rhile the third term's ;:pecial
suhjeet depends on what author is ,;elected fut· ela~s work.
A manual of (;reek Literature is taken up during the Freshman
and Sophom"re year~, and a system a tie gcrl('ral view of its eou rsc aud
eharacter obtained. The work is supplemented br library rdcrerwcs
and by leeture~.
ln eonn<•etion with Homer, the dr:una, and the lyri<~ poet.•:, the
varieti<•;: of ~eansion arc studied.
Attention is given throughout the cour~e to the dcrin1tion of
words; and a constant efl(Jrt is made to duly appreciate the life and
thought of til(> .\neient Greek people.
PHILOLOGICAL SCIENCE.
l'l{OF. \\'.fl. SIIII'3L\:\', A.
~1.
Throughout the .Junior year, an elective in l'hilology is offered iu
all cour,;es. The ~uhj<~et i~ taken up and treated from a scientific rather
than from a literary point of Yicw. Linguistics, both in its comparatiYe
and histnrieal form, is no\\· attracting- wide attention, and is here gi\'en
a prominent plaee.
The idea is t<> make ;;tudeut.~ familiar nut only with a wide range
of intere~t.ing and important facts, but also with the leading doetrinef'
eouc<'ming t.lw nature and origin of language, the eaul;es that ha\·e
-33--
brought it to its present forms, and the forces now operative in its
modification.
The special text-books used are Whitney's Life and Growth of
Language, and Skeat's Concise Etymological Dictionary. The regular
recitation work is supplemented by class lectures, by the e_nlarged
treatment of particular subjects, preparing summaries of important arti. cles, and the like, by the aid of books of reference, encyclopaedias, and
philological periodicals, with wtich the College library is well supplied.
'Ve aim not merely to increase knowledge by learning, but also by
employing the inductive method, to establish scientific habits, and to
train and strengthen the mental powers.
The first term is occupied with a general survey of the nature and
science of language, with a few special exercises ; the second, with the
historical and philosophical aspects of the subject, with more outside
work; while the third term is mainly devoted to a consideration of the
historical and scientific basis of the English language. This includes
study of the elements of Anglo-Saxon and Gothic Grammar, the
reasons for the loss of our inflections, dialectic peculiarities, spelling
reform, and the like. Some original work is also undertaken.
LATIN.
PROF. CI-IAS. C. BATES, A. I\1.
The course in Latin, embracing a period of seven years, three in
the Preparatory. and four i~ the Collegiate Department, is designed to
furnish the student with a thorough knowledge of the grammatical and
rhetorical features of the Latin language, and also acquaint him with
the principal productions of the foremost prose and poetical writers in
the various periods of Roman Literature.
The list of authors whose works are studied comprises Caesar,
Cicero, Virgil, Livy, Horace, Tacitus, Terence, Plautus, .Juvenal,
Persius, Pliny, Seneca and Lucretius.
These are supplemented by Latin Prose Composition, Roman
History and Antiquities, Roman Literature, and the Elements of Philology.
The foundation is laid by the requisite drill upon grammatical
forms, syntactical principles and idiomatic expressions, while careful comparis0ns are instituted between the literal and the smooth rendition of
passages.
At an early period the student is thereby enabled to intelligently
appropriate the truths inculcated by the author, and appreciate the
beauties of the language employed.
-34-
Two nwthod,; of pronunciation, the English and the Homan, are
11,ed, hut tlw prcf('n'Itee is given to the lattC'r.
In poetry, fiuuiliarity with prosodr and Heansion i~ acquired.

arC' studied during two terms, the fornH~r of which is den>tPd to tlw

TIH dcgeription and drawing of the natural objects are here important
meuns of mental eulture and advancement.
Lecture.~ arc ;;u pplcmcntary to thi~ part of the work, and arc
intPnded not to he a substitute for a text-hook, but to explain what the
student lw. <;. hut partially understood or to direct hi1~ further work.
They are al~o the means of bringiug befi>re hi111 much ~eientific infill·mat.ion that i~ otherwise <tuite inacees~ihle.

This, and not the men~ aceuBllllation of facts, i~ the Ji>rC'mo~t ohject de~ireu hy the introduction of
this branch of :;tudy in a collC'gc cour;:e.
For the successful study of the hig-her branehe,;, the Compound
:\Ticroscope is cs.~cntial, and familiarity with the usc of this iustruniCilt
may be obtained iu the Sophomore Class, in Phy~iology and lfi:stolog-y.
Acquaintance with the instrument it~elf, and with the method of
microscopical work and lllanipulatiou, are r('<]llired a~ a condition for
entrance to the su hject of Biology or A natom ~--
-35-
Means of instruction in this department are yearly improving,
and a considerable addition to the microscopical outfit has been made
during the past year by the liberality of the trustees.
The collections, both general and local, have been also increased
and improved for teaching purposes. Especially during the past year
the ornithological collection has been carefully examined, and the specimens, when worth the labor, have been cleaned and repaired. Many
skins, chiefly of our local avifauna, have been added to the collection, ·
and a substantial improvement has thus been made. Much material
that bas been accumulating for some years past has also been cleared,
studied, and placed in the Museum by the ,Junior Class in Geology.
By these various means is afforded the opportunity of becoming
acquainted with the general scope of Natural Science and the methods
of scientific work, and also, if desired, of carrying on minute investigation in a limited portion of this great and yearly widening field.

The aim of this department is to provide such i>pportunitie;, as
will enable the faithful ;;tudent to furni~<h himself with an excellent
outfit and an invaluable preparation tiw life's work.
\Vith the exception of a single term, the work is continuou,; from
matriculation to the "ecoml term of the Renior year. The instruction
i~ of' the most practical kind, strengthenin~ the pupil's individuality at
e\·ery step and giving him constantly increasing control over his audi('!lce and owr himself. It embrace;; the following sul~jeets:
I. l'nY~TC.\L Cn:rnu:. By this we mean the cnltivation and
r<•tinement of the entire body by training it to express the emotions and
pnrp<>~eR of the ;;oul. The daily exPrcises develop every muscle in the
··-
---·)j-
body, give tone to the nervous system and vital organs, cultivate grace,.
and render every part so responsive to the mind that mechanical gesture
becomes an impossibility. To neglect such a course of training is to
live beneath our privilege and close many avenues of usefulness.
The Emerson System of Physical Culture is made the basis of
this work.
II. Vorci;; CuLTUHE. The first and most important step in
voice culture is to secure correct physical and mental conditions.
Elasticity of 'tone and freedom from harsh and impure qualities may
be attained by obedience to natural laws. A free, natural and impressionable voice is secured by careful training. The voice is most
perfectly developed by proper use in ·expressing one's thoughts and
feelings.
III. RHETORIC. . In teaching the art of writing, mere book
knowledge 'is of little service. The pupil is first taught to observe men
and things, then to record the result of his observation. Skill in expressing one's thoughts in writing is the constant aim. Special attention
is given to the requisites of a good style.
· IV. 0RA'.fORY. Delivery is taught exclusively from the mind
side. All imitative and mechanical methods are discarded and the
pupil trained from the beginning to a self-reliant use of his own powers.
Oratory being essentially a social matter, the class naturally constitutes
an audience for each speaker in turn. Further opportunities for public
speaking are afforded in the Oratorical and Ashton prize contests.
ENGLISH LITERATURE.
PROF. MARGARET G. BRADFORD,
B. A.
In the first term of the Sophomore year in the Scientific course·
British and American Oratory is taught, by means of lectures and
readings from the principal orators. Beginning with the second term
of the Sophomore year, the work is elective in all courses. ·In the
second and third terms of the Sophomore year, the History of English
Literature is studied. Representative works of the best authors are
read critically in class. The life of the author and the history of his
time are also made the subject of study. In the first term of the
Junior year, the History o~. American Literature is taught by means of
lectures and readings from ~ur best American authors.
No literature text-books are used except the works of the authors
themselves, which, as far as possible, are put into the hands of the
students. The library is well supplied with the best works upon biography and criticism, and constant reference is made to these authorities.

LAW.
CHARLES R. GRANT, A. B., INSTRUCTOR.
It is the design of this department to furnish instruction in the
elements of Jurisprudence and Civil Government.
The Fall Term is occupied in studying the principles of
American Constitutional Law, with frequent reference to the Constitutions of European Governments.
The ·winter Term is devoted to the study of Municipal Law.
This will include the law of the Domestic Relations, Property,
Contracts, Crimes, and Procedure in the Courts:
International Law is the subject for discussion in the Spring
Term. This will include not only the rules by which the intercourse
between nations is governed, but the obligations which one nation or
state is under, at times, to enforce the laws of another.
No attempt will be made to fit men for legal practice ; but it is
possible for students, who pursue the law in this department diligently
throughout the year, to be admitted to the Bar after one year's
additional study in a Law Scho(l].

PIANO.
The Musical Department of Buchtel College offers superior
advantages of musical culture to all students of music. The study of
piano-forte playing is one of the most important parts of a musical
education, to the vocalist as well as to the student of string instruments,
and for c-omposition it is indispensable.
A good technique together with intellectual musical ideas forms the
foundation of good piano playing ; the one without the other is faulty.
Strict attention must be given to the formation of a smooth, sympathetic
touch and good technique, as well as to the careful development of deep
musical sentiment. The same course of instruction is employed as in
the European Conservatories.
Private as well as class lessons are given, the latter being especially recommended to those wishing to make the teaehing of music a
profession.
Instruction in ensemble playing is an important feature of the
course of study; to all piano students a course of Harmony is
recommended.

STUDENT REHEARSALS, RECITALS AND LECTURES.
Cia~~ n•hearsals, at whieh pupils arc in~truct.ed in analyf'is of
eompositwu, expression and phrasing, tnkc plaee weekly at the
Director's ~tudiu. Puhlie recitals of ~tudentB occur monthly at College
Hall. They are Jor the purpo~e of giving to the student self-control
and ea"e in appearance before the public.
Students with professional aspirations will he i;1strurted onee a
we(•k in the art of teaehing by the Director.
Lectures on musical a(~sthetics and mu:;ical history are p:ivcn in
connection with im:truction in harmony.
VOICE CULTURE.
"He who knows how to hrenthc and pronounce wen, knows how to sing wcll."-Pucrldarotti.
The careful emi:;sion of the voice is to vocal music what touch is
tu piano playing; hence the first duty of the teacher, in rno:::t ca:::e", i~ t(>
correct habit:s strengthened by year,; of earelcss singing.
In the course of instruction e,;pccial atteution will be given to
the followiug important featun•;;: The corrcet manner of using the
n·spiratory and vocal organs, based upon thorough hygicuic methods
and principles; the production and forrnatiou of tones with special
rPgard to their purity, sweetness, softnc~s, and e:t.~e of style; U(~curacy of
pitch; variety of expression; distinctness of artieulation, ami eulti\"ation and relinement in taste. Special pain~ will be devoted to obtaining
a carcfhl, gradual and natural growth of the voice, without straiu or
undue foreing, and to building np and strengthening the physieal
condition of pupil~, in connection with their vocal culture, and as an
indi,;pensable adjunct to it.
The singing of simple legato songs of \Veber, )Iozart, Spohr,
Haydn, Ml:'ndds,:ohn, Knchcn, and others, is early introduced in the
cour'iC as a practical and interesting manner of obtaining desired
resul~.
The "tudy of selections from the Oratorios of Handel, Haydn and
Mcndebsohn; the operas of the old masters, Rossini, ~Icrcadante,
Vonizetti and Bellini; and English, German and Italian songs arc
included in the course of instruction.
The exact work of each term will not he given here, as the
natural ability and advancement of a pupil largely determine the order
of studies and length of time required for their completion. .At least
two les.<,ons a week will he required at the beginning of the year.
Practice periods of twenty minut€S to a half hour each at least twice a
day will be ncce<:sary.
No pupils U> be received for less than a t€rm of twenty le8son~.

ART.
Miss Minnie C. Fuller, a member of the Art Students' League, of
New York, has charge of this department.
This school, for the thorough study of art in its elementary and
higher branches, offers advantages equal to the best art schools in the
country. Attention is called to the methods of study, wide range of
material the pupil may work in, time arrangement, and other means
employed to secure the best results.
Two dominant ideas prevail in the art school. First: All practical knowledge of art is based upon drawing. Second: All drrmJn:ng
rnust be from nature.
CouRSJ<J. As far as possible a system of progress is followed.
This is applicable to the individual only, and not to the class. Each
pupil retains his individuality, while still following a course laid down
for all. If the pupil has not heretofore drawn from nature, he will
begin with
STILL LIFE. Masters and artists of all times have agreed that
the wisest way to teach beginners to draw is to place an object before
them and bid them draw it. As the pupil advances in skill other
·objects are added, till whatever shall fall under the eye can be repro·duced with accuracy and effect. Following this comes a most thorough
<drill in
CAsT DRAWING. Drawing from cast is the grammar of practical
·art work, and must not be slighted. The pupil is now obliged to work
·with the utmost care and exactness. Having now acquired some readi:tles~>iin drawing, the pupil takes up the study of

In the summer of 1892 Dr. Phinney, a friend of the College and
late Assistant State Geologist of Indiana, offered his valuable collection
to the College for a part of its value, in}ending to make it in part a gift.
After making the necessary investigation the Trustees decided to purchase it ahd thus to secure for the new Museum a Geological Collection
which could not be duplicated except at much greater cost. It covers
the formations as developed in Indiana and adjoining States from the
lower silurian to the carboniferous.
A large addition has been made to the representative avifauna of
the Western Reserve in the Museum by the employment of a taxidermist.
Many of the specimens thus prepared have been presented by friends
of the College and others have been purchased. The Entomological
Collection has also been thoroughly renovated by one of the graduates
of last year, who has rearranged most of the existing materials, added
many speries ht>rt>t.ofore not represented, and named the greater part of
the Iepidoptera in the cases.
A friend of the College, who desires for the present to remain unknown, has promised to defray the cost of a cast of the American
mastodon as his contribution to the equipment of the new Scientific
Museum.
Valuable arlrlit.ions aho haw het>n made to the department for the
study of Anatomy, hy the preparation of several excellent skeletons,
cl1iefly of nnr rlomeF<tie animals, hy the memhf:'rs of the Senior Class,
during the year.
