COURSES OF STUDY.
THEOLOGICAL 3DEPART3^EE1TT.
An elementary course of instruction in the Bible and on sub¬
jects in theology has been given, for years, to students desiring
to enter the ministry of the Gospel.
Several years ago the time seamed opportune to establish the
course of study herein published, covering a period of three years.
It provides, with sufficient thoroughness, for instruction in the
same fundamental subjects treated in the best divinity schools of
the North, while at the same time, it has special reference to the
peculiar need of our Southern churches. It really includes two
courses,—one for graduates of the classical department, in which
the Bible is studied in its original languages, and the other for
those whose education has been confined wholly to English
studies. There are now classes in both of these courses.
Hitherto the growth of this department has been somewhat
hindered by the want of suitable accommodations. This want
has now been happily supplied. The new7 central building
contains twro commodious rooms set apart for instruction in the-
ology, and dormitories sufficient to accommodate thirty students,
and a reading room; so that the students in theology will here¬
after have a beautiful home separate from the rest of the school.
The University is, therefore, now7 prepared to meet the de¬
mand of our churches for an intelligent and consecrated ministry.
We invite correspondence from young men who wish to qual¬
ify themselves for this sacred profession.

Manual training has for many years been a marked feature
at Straight University. During the past year, however, far
better results have been attained, owing to the excellent equip¬
ment which has been provided. The late Mrs. Frederick Chaf¬
fee of Rutland, Vermont, gave $1000 to this Department as a
memorial of her father, Reuben Rose Thrall, who during his
long life wTas a devoted friend of the Negro race. His name will
hereafter be associated with this branch of the work of this insti¬
tution.
The industries taught are Wood-working, Drafting, Sewing,
Dressmaking, Printing and the different kinds of Household Work.
While the technical idea is kept prominent in all the training of
this Department, yet the main idea is to make all the instruction
bear upon the improvement of the homes of the colored people.
WOOD-WORKING.
The course is systematic and progressive. The work pro¬
ceeds step by step from the easier to the more difficult features and
is calculated to impart a fair degree of skill and a general knowl¬
edge of tools, materials, methods and principles, rather than a
nicety of execution which can be acquired only by long practice.
The course is also specially designed to furnish constant practice
in arithmetical calculations and the use of'detail" drawings, as
the same are used in the workshops of the country.
Our course extends through three years. The sixth, seventh
and eighth grades devote from two to five hours per week to this
work. Each student has a blue print -of his exercise and works
from it. The exercises are graded, running from the simple to
the more difficult, the aim being to adapt them to the mental ca¬
pacity of the student as well as to his manual dexterity and to
make them 3 helpful part of his school-work.
The following is a synopsis of the work:

STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
Students during this course are required to make out bills
of materials for their exercises, and from other drawings, also, to
make occasional working drawings, to learn the names of tools
and their parts, their uses and the reasons for their character¬
istics, facts about materials used, to observe in what way and
where the principles in the exercises enter into construction and
to learn, as far as possible, the scientific basis on which they rest.
They are expected, within reasonable limits, to read plans of
wood construction and to execute them intelligently. Much is
added to the above, as the needs of classes or individuals require,
but nothing omitted.
During the year the following machines have been added to
the equipment of the shop:
1 Leland and Falconer Universal Trimmer. 1 Victor Scroll
Saw. 1 Combination Saw. 1 Rex Moulder. 1 Drilling Machine
for repairs, and quite a quantity of general tools and appliances.
In addition to the class work some of the students devote
two or more hours daily to practical joinery and cabinet-making.
All cases, fittings etc., needed for the institution are made
by the students and repairs are done by them.
MECHANICAL DRAWING.
Mechanical Drawing has this year been made compulsory
in the first year Normal and the third year College Preparatory
classes, and the attention due to its importance has been given.
One of the best rooms in the Central Building has been fitted
with the most approved tables and instruments.
The following is the synopsis of the work:
Use and Care of Drawing Instru- evation), Enlarging and Re-
ments. ducing Given Plans.
Geometric Problems. Working Drawings from Given
Projection (Plane and Isometric,.) Objects and Buildings.
AVorking Drawings (Plan and El- General Architectural Problems.
SEWING AND DRESSMAKING.
The following course has been arranged and will be followed
substantially, although variations will be made whenever it seems
for the interest of the pupil. The complete course extends
through three school years of eight months each.
In connection with the course, talks are given upon the
various materials used, the adaptability of different goods to
various uses, form and harmony of color in dress and advice in
regard to purchasing judiciously. Samples of the different kinds
and qualities of materials will be used to illustrate. The sewing
room is large and well lighted and supplied with sewing ma¬
chines, large tables for drafting, tracing and cutting, mirrors,
books of models, samples of dress materials and a glass case for
finished work, tools for sewing and pressing and other con¬
veniences.

Aside from the course given above many practical ideas are
introduced from time to time. The girls are required to draw
upon the black-board and paper illustrations of all the different
stitches taught and to explain the uses of them and of all the
implements, required in their work. In the dressmaking classes
the pupils draft upon the black-board the different parts which
make up an entire dress. The exact measurements are given
them by the teacher and the proper proportions more clearly
defined. A course in cutting and fitting is followed by the addi¬
tion this year of a Dressmaker's Form of the most approved de¬
sign. Much more interest has been developed on this account
in this branch. Articles needed in the institution such as
bedding, table linen, towels and aprons, which are constantly
called &for, are made by the students. Pupils of the sewing
classes number one hundred and fifty this year.

STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
PRINTING.
Probably no similar institution has such a complete outfit of
newspaper and job type, and printer's tools, as has Straight
University. The equipment consists of about four hundred
pounds of Roman type, fifty fonts of job type, two excellent
Gordon Presses, and one 25 inch "Reliance" Lever Paper
Cutter.
The students on entering the printing office are taught the
different sizes of type, the different boxes in a case and the meth¬
od of spacing evenly. They are kept setting type until they
can do it well; they are then taught the proof marks and how to
correct a proof. Their work is greatly admired by our Northern
visitors and friends. The College paper, The Olio, the annual
catalogue of the University, The Tougaloo News, the job work
required by the institution and that ordered by outside parties,
are printed here. All the work is done by the students, the in¬
structor simply making up the form.
DANIEL HAND PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
One of the great hindrances to our work is the lack of good
preparatory schools by which the pupils can be fitted for the
higher grades. The students who come from the country are
usually compelled to begin in the lower grades. The Hand
School meets this want in a large measure. A Principal and
four assistants form the teaching force. The most modern and
approved methods of primary instruction are employed. The
school is supplied with material and apparatus.
REGULATIONS.
The privileges of the University are open to all of either
sex, without regard to denomination, race, color, or nationality.
Regular and punctual attendance upon all hours of study
and recitation, and upon the established religious exercises of
the Institution is required, as also cheerful compliance with its
regulations, and ready and willing obedience to all its officers.
No student is received from any other University without a certi¬
ficate showing good standing.
All students from abroad are required to board at the Uni¬
versity, unless special permission is given to board elsewhere.
Students absenting themselves from their classes, or leaving
the Institution without permission, render themselves liable to
discipline.
Students are expected to avoid traveling on the Sabbath.
Each girl must be provided with water-proof, rubber over¬
shoes and umbrella.

tember will be Johnson, Yt.
EXPENSES,
The charges for board and tuition do not cover one-half ol
the actual cost of running the Institution. The aim of Straight
University'is to make it possible for students of small means to
secure a good education.

Students should not come expecting to pay any part of their
expenses by extra work unless they have made definite arrange¬
ments with President and Treasurer.

STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of the University is strict and impartial. ]\o
student who does not obey the necessary rules and who does not
show faithfulness in his work, will be allowed to remain in the
University.
NEEDS.
1. We need money for scholarships and professorships.
The people have reached a stage in their intellectual develop¬
ment when they need and demand the higher education. But
there are two serious obstacles with which just now wTe have to
contend, the poverty of the students, and lack of means to secure
the requisite number of professors. We trust that kind friends,
who have the means, will come to our aid in these respects. In
most cases, fifty dollars will carry a student through the year
with what he can do for himself, and surely there can be no bet¬
ter investment than putting this amount into the education of
promising boys or girls, who shall go forth as teachers aud lead¬
ers of their people, missionaries of a true culture and a purer re¬
ligious life. This is the work that God has assigned to Straight
University and it is of the first importance that she shall be ade¬
quately equipped therefor.
2. We need books for our library, and newspapers and
periodicals for our reading room. The importance of a good
library in a school like ours, in creating a taste for good litera¬
ture and in thus furnishing a safeguard against temptation, can¬
not be too strongly emphasized. Experience proves that stu¬
dents may pass through the prescribed course of study without
acquiring a love of reading unless they have access to good books
and are directed properly in their selection. Through the gen¬
erosity of friends something has been done to replace the loss by
the fire, but much remains to be done.
3. We need chemical and philosophical apparatus. This
need is quite pressing.
4. We need gifts of bedding, table-ware, furniture, and
clothing for our poor students.
KXST OZR-3T_
The present year completes the twenty-seventh since the
founding of Straight University by the American Missionary As*
sociation, upon which it is. sti'lJ dependent. The first building
was erected by the United States Government, on Esplanade
street, upon land purchased by the American Missionary Asso¬
ciation. Upon the destruction of this building by fire in 1877,
the school was removed to the present more central location on
Canal street. Here, in 1S7S, was dedicated a new building: here
also subsequently were erected the two fine dormitories—Stone
and Wliitin Halls.
The history of the University is a record of steady growth
and expanding influence. It was the pioneer school in this sec¬
tion of the South, in offering the recently emancipated race the
opportunity for an education leavened with the spirit of the Gos¬
pel,—an opportunity of which, from the very first, they availed
themselves with grateful appreciation. During all the years
since, though not without those trials which have tested the faith
and devotion of her friends, her progress has been steady and
salutary, keeping pace with the growing intelligence of the peo*
pie, her courses of study being enlarged from time to time to
meet their higher intellectual wants, the manifest fruit, in large
part, of her own faithful educational ministry. Thus her history
is, in some respects, the intellectual history of the colored people
in this part of the South, since they received the gift of freedom,
the successive additions of the Normal, Collegiate end Theological
departments marking and measuring the moral and intellectual
advancement of the race.
The institution received its name from the late Hon. Sey¬
mour Straight of Hudson, Ohio, in grateful acknowledgement of
his liberal gifts and wise counsel. During the last part of his
life age did not diminish his interest in the welfare of the Uni¬
versity, nor interfere with his generous plans for its promotion.
Twice in her history the University has been tried by fire,
the second occuring the night of November 30, 1891, and, each
time profiting by her misfortunes, she has risen out of the ashes
with larger purposes and increased means of usefulness. The
building destroyed by fire was devoted wholly to school and
chapel purposes and stood apart from the dormitories. A new
and beautiful central building was erected by the American Mis*
sionary Assciation. It is considerably larger than the one
burned and has been constructed with reference to the prospec¬
tive growth of the school in • all its higher departments. The
building is three stories high, of a pleasing style of architecture,
and contains, on the first floor, the Chapel with a seating capac*
ity of about five hundred, sewing room, four school rooms, and
53

offices for the President and Treasurer; on the second floor, the
large College and Normal room, three recitation and three school
rooms, music room, library and chemical laboratory, and two
rooms for the theological department; and, on the third floor,,
dormitories and reading room for the theological students.
STONE HALL;
with the ground upon which it stands, is a fine monument to the
considerate generosity of Mrs. Valeria G.Stone, of Maiden, Mass.
It is a dormitory for the girls, and the home of the President and
most of the teachers. Here, too, are the kitchen, and the cool
and spacious dining room.
The general housekeeping is under the supervision of an effi¬
cient matron, and an experienced and competent preceptress
teaches the girls how to care for their rooms and their health,
and trains them in the manners of a refined Christian home. In
a word, the whole management of Stone Hall, with the constant
inculcation of the principles of good breeding by precept and ex¬
ample, is an impressive object lesson to the students of what con¬
stitutes the ideal Christian family.
WHITIN HALL,
a dormitory for boys, is a memorial of the generosity of the
late Hon. Seymour Straight, and the late John C. Whitin, of
Mass. This is under the charge of an accomplished matron.
