HISTORY
On September 21, 1844, a committee was ap¬
pointed in the Ohio conference of the A. M. K.
Church to select a site for a seminary of learning. One
hundred seventy-two acres, twelve miles west of
Columbus, were purchased and "Union Seminary"
was projected. In 1847, the school was opened, thus-
becoming the first school for the education of the
colored people in this country, the germ which later
developed into Wilberforce University. It incorpora¬
ted manual labor in its plan, and foreshadowed the
industrial idea in connection with literary work.
On Sept. 28, 1853, the Cincinnati Conference of
the M. E- Church selected a committee which recom¬
mended "the establishment of a literary institution of
high order for the education of colored people
generally; " and in May, 1856, "Tawawa Springs,"
a beautiful summer resort in Greene Co-, Ohio, was
purchased, and Wilberforce University had location.
By concurrent action, the M. E. and A. M. E. Con¬
ferences of Ohio entered into co-operation for the
success of the University. It was incorporated Aug.
30, 1856, and a board of twenty-four trustees, select"
ed, including Governor Salmon P. Chase, President
R. S. Rust, Ashland Keith of the colored Baptist de¬
nomination, and Bishop D. A. Payne. The broad
principle was adopted that there should never be any
discrimination among the trustees, faculties or students,
on account of race, color or creed.

WIIyBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
13
The University began its work in Oct., 1856, under
R.ev. M. P. Gaddis, as Principal. He was succeeded
by Prof. James K. Parker, and by Dr. Richard S-
Rust, the first President. During the first epoch,
which terminated with the Civil War, the number of
students, largely children of southern planters, varied
from seventy to a hundred. Revivals were ex¬
perienced, and commendable progress was made in
literary culture. The war closed the school, and the
M. E. Church withdrew from the field.
On March 10, 1863, Bishop D. A. Payne pur¬
chased the property for $10,000, and associated with
himself Rev. James A. Shorter and Prof. John G.
Mitchell. In the re-organization of the University,
Bishop Payne became President.
The Union Seminary property was then sold, and
proceeds, faculty, and pupils were merged into the
large enterprise. On the day that Lincoln was as¬
sassinated, the main building was burned and the
growing work checked. But the heroic founder and
his associates redoubled their efforts. Congress in
1870, appropriated $26,000 ; Chief Justice Salmon P.
Chase bequeathed $10,000; the Avery estate added
$10,000, and the American Unitarian Association
gave for lectures $6,000.
For 13 years Bishop Payne presided over the af¬
fairs of the University. He called to his aid such in¬
structors as Dr. William Kent, of England ; Prof. T.
E. Suliot, of Edinburgh Scotland ; Dr. John G-
Mitchell, of Oberlin ; Prof. W. B. Adams, of Am¬
herst; Prof. B. K. Sampson, of Oberlin ; Prof. J. P.
Shorter, of Wilberforce, Ohio. Among the ladies
who rendered valuable services were Miss Esther T.

ANNUAL CATALOGUE
Maltby and Miss Sarah Jane Woodson, of Oberlin^
Mrs. Alice M. Adams, of Holyoke, and Miss Mary
McBride, of Oswego. Under his management the
different Departments were organized : the Theologi-
calgin 1866, the Classical and Scientific in 1867, the
Normal in 1872.
From under Bishop Payne's hands went out
26 graduates. He left his impress on every line of
development. He organized the church of the Holy
Trinity, the Society of Inquiry on Missions, and the
I^adies College Aid Society, and secured a Ward
Museum in 1879 worth $2,000. Bishop Payne work¬
ed for the University to the day of his death in 1893,
Rev. B. F. L,ee, of the class of '72, succeeded to
the presidency in 1876. In 1877, Prof. W. S. Scar¬
borough, a graduate of Oberlin College, was appoint¬
ed to the chair of L,atin and Greek, and Mrs. S-
C- Bierce (now Scarborough,) of Oswego Normal
School, was called to the Principalship of the Normal
Department, which was rapidly developed under her
management. She was also instructor in Natural
Sciences, and instituted the movement, that resulted
in obtaining the present museum, for which Bishop
Payne secured the funds.
President L,ee continued at the head of affairs
eight years. All through these years, revivals occur¬
red with the return of every session, and hundreds of
young men and women learned life's noblest lesson
of consecrated purpose to the cause of God and man¬
kind. Through the Missionary Department of the
church, the island of Haiti was brought into close
relation, and five of her sons entered upon various
courses of study.

In 1884, President L,ee accepted the editorial
chair of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, Penn.
Prof. S. T. Mitchell, of the class of '73, was
elected to the presidency in . 1884. The University
continued a steady growth through subsequent years.
On March 19, 1889, the Legislature passed a law
establishing the Normal and Industrial Department.
It is supported entirely by the State. It is placed on
a financial basis similar to the other State educational
institutions, receiving a levy of one-hundred of a mill
of the grand tax duplicate. No higher indorsement
of a colored institution can be found in the United
States. Pres. Mitchell was also Superintendent of
this Department until 1896 when Prof. J.P.Shorter was
elected to the position, holding it until his death in
March, 1910.
On June 18, 1891, Payne Theological Seminary
was founded. It has its own board of directors.
Bishop Payne was its first Dean, his successor being
Dr. John G. Mitchell, one of the founders of Wilber-
force University, who served until his death in 1900.
With him were associated Prof. W. S. Scarborough
and Rev- G. W. Prioleau on the first faculty.
January 9, 1894, President Cleveland detailed
Lieut. John H. Alexander to organize a Military De¬
partment at Wilberforce and instruct in Military
Science and Tactics. His sudden death created a
vacancy which was filled by the appointment of Lieut
Charles Young, of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, the only
remaining colored officer in the United States Army,
who is a graduate of West Point. Lieut. Young
rendered excellent service to the University, not only
in a military capacity, but also in giving instruction

in French and Trigonometry.
In 1896, Prof. W. S. Scarborough who had been
transferred to the Seminary was re-transferred to the
college chair of Greek and Latin and made Vice
President of the University.
April 5, 1898, the Ohio Legislature, by a unani¬
mous vote in both houses, placed to the credit of the
Endowment Funds of the University, the Randolph
Funds of $6,643-
Pres. Mitchell, who was failing in health, resigned
in 1900- He died the following year.
Rev. Joshua H. Jones, of the class of '87 was
•elected President in 1900 and held this position for
eight years.
In the same year Bishop B. T. Tanner was elected
Dean of the Seminary and served until 1902, when he
resigned and Dr. G. F.. Woodson was elected to the
position which he still holds.
In 1901 the Scientific Course was raised to the
present standard.
In 1905 Lieut. B. O. Davis, of the Tenth U. S.
Cavalry was detailed by the War Department to take
the place of Captain Young who after service in the
Cuban War, was ordered to the Philippines. He
gave most efficient service, adding to his duties in¬
struction in Geometry by special permission of the
War Department. He was withdrawn in 1909, his
time for detail having expired.
In 1909 Lieutenant John E. Green of the 25th In¬
fantry was appointed to take the place.
Through the solicitation of Sec'y Talbert, ably as¬
sisted by other friends, Mr. Andrew Carnegie in 1907
presented the University with a Library Building, at
CARNEGIE LIBRARY, WILBERPORCE UNIVERSITY

a cost of $18,000.
In 1908, Vice President W. S. Scarborough, a
graduate of Oberlin College ('75) and one time
student in Oberlin Theological Seminary, was elected
President of the University. Chaplain T. G. Steward
was elected Vice-President at the same time.
In 1910, Prof. William A. Joiner of the class of
88 was called from Howard University to the Super -
intendency of the C. N. and I. Department.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Wilberforce is three and a quarter miles north¬
east of Xenia, which is on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis Ry. 65 miles from Cincinnati
and 55 miles from Columbus. Wilberforce station,
at which accommodation trains stop, is within twenty
minutes walk westward to the University. It is lo¬
cated geographically so as to be easy of access and
afford most excellent facilities for higher education,
especially to those desiring the environments of a cul¬
tured community where homes and lives stand for
the best ideals. A state Act prohibits any saloon or
low resort within two miles of the University- The
healthfulness and beauty of the locality are unsur¬
passed. Its mineral springs are of great value. It
is non-sectarian, and its charter prohibits any dis¬
tinction on account of race, color or creed among
trustees, faculty or students.
ACCOMODATIONS
The University is co-educational, and the best
possible advantages for the education and train¬
ing of girls as well as boys are given.
Arnett Hall is the only dormitory completed at
present exclusively for girls. It has a beautiful cam¬
pus, is well equipped, lighted by both gas and elec¬
tricity and heated by the Gurney hot water system.
Shorter Hall is situated on a campus with fine
forest trees. It is used for dormitory and recitation
18
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY

purposes. It is lighted by gas and heated by steam.
O'Neill Hall, has a well planted campus of
young trees, and affords a dormitory for boys. It is
heated by hot water and lighted by electricity and gas.
Mitchell Hall has a beautifully shaded campus,
and affords a dormitory for the theological students-
especially. It is heated by hot air and lighted by-
gas.
Galloway Hall is splendidly equipped as a trades
Building with offices and a fine auditorium. It is
lighted by electricity, and heated by hot water.
Study rooms are arranged in all these halls. Some
fifty acres altogether are devoted to afford for each a
fine campus, lighted by electric lights, and connected
with each other by fine cement walks. Fifteen other
buildings, brick and frame, afford room for power,
industries, homes for teachers and employees. A
senior Cottage for girls will be ready for occupancy
in September, 1911.
Two new dormitories for girls are already as¬
sured.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie generously offered to give
$17,500, for a $35,000 building and the remainder is
already contributed so that we begin the erection by
June, 1911.
A friend in Iyoridon, England, has also provided
generously for a girl's dormitory which will be begun
at the same time.
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The school year is divided into three terms of about
twelve weeks each. The first opens the first Tues¬
day in September (Sept. 5, 1911) when the opening.

EXAMINATIONS
Examinations are held at the close of each term
or upon the completion of definite portion of the work
in different departments. Impromptu, oral and
written tests are held from time to time, at the discre¬
tion of the instructors.
No .student will be permitted to continue with
his class unless his record during the term and at the
examination reaches the general average required by
the faculty rules.
Failure to attend examinations except for the
reason of absolute necessity will receive a zero mark
and be regarded as a serious delinquency. Another
examination is given only for a good cause.
CLASS STANDING
The daily recitations and the examinations com¬
bine with ratio of 2 to 1 to determine the scholarship
grade.
Reports are made at close of each term to parents
or guardians.
LIBRARY
Carnegie Library, the gift of Mr. Andrew Carne¬
gie, was dedicated June 19, 1907, and thrown open
for the use of students and patrons, September 1,1907.
This library now contains 10,500 -bound volumes.
Bishop D. A. Payne's library has been consolidated
with this, and smaller collections have been added.
It is catalogued, and open six days in the week. The
best of current periodicals is on file, also leading daily
and weekly papers. It contains spacious reading
rooms and several seminar rooms, with stack room.
It is equipped with the most modern furnishings and
apparatus for effective library administration. Every
22
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
student attending the University is required to pay a
Library fee. The various libraries, including those
of the different seminar rooms in departments, aggre¬
gate over 12,000 volumes.
MUSEUM
In 1879, a museum valued at $2,000 was procur¬
ed through Bishop Payne's efforts, and placed in the
University by Professor Ward, of Rochester, who be¬
came interested through the Instructor of Natural
Sciences and contributed $600 of the above amount in
specimens toward fitting it for our purposes. It con¬
tains excellent collections in Botany, Mineralogy,
Palentology, Lithology and Zoology. The selections
liave been made with reference to working value and
usefulness, and afford students opportunity for scien¬
tific study which can only be pursued successfully
-with suitable specimens. Gifts of smaller collections
have been added from time to time. We solicit from
our friends such contributions as will add to the in¬
terest and value of the collection.
ART ROOM
The Art Room was the gift of Rev. J. Ware of
Boston, in 1879, and contains plaster models of sta¬
tuary to the value of $200. Bishop Payne's private
art collection was added in 1894. We desire further
additions and look to our friends to increase the col¬
lections and add to its value.
LABORATORY
The Laboratory has been recently enlarged, and
is a valuable auxiliary to the study of the sciences.
SOCIETIES AND PUBLICATIONS
All Societies maintained are for the purpose of
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
23
improvement and helpfulness. No secret organiza¬
tion is allowed among the students.
The Sodalian and the Payne form the two literary
societies for the young men. The Philomathean and
the Dodds are the two literary societies for young
women. Out of the first three societies a Debating
Club has been formed, out of which debating teams
are chosen. These enter into contests with teams
from other colleges. Two such teams are now doing
active work in this line. All of these present public
literary exercises, aside from regular meetings. The
Sodalian Society publishes' 'The Sodalian,'' a monthly
magazine, giving news of the college life, student ac¬
tivities and keeping close connection with the Alumni
in the, field.
There are three Religious Societies, the Y. M. C-
A., the Y. W. C. A., the Y. P. S. C. E., and a Mis¬
sionary Society. The first three meet new students,
hold receptions for them and aim to exert a strong
moral influence.
These societies have sent delegates to the three
Student Volunteer Conventions in Ohio in 1909, also
to the daymen's Missionary Convention in Dayton,
Ohio, and to the International Students Volunteer
Convention in Rochester, N. Y.
The Musical Societies are the S. Coleridge-Tay¬
lor Association and several Glee clubs, with an Or¬
chestra association. Various recitals are given by
these organizations.
Athletics exist for both sexes. These are guid¬
ed by committees from the faculty acting in conjunc¬
tion with the students. All branches are represented
24
ANNUAL, CATALOGUE
in athletics—base-ball, basket-ball, foot-ball, with
tennis courts. The Military department work also af¬
fords exercises for healthful development. The
Commandant is advisor in girl's athletics.
A Ladies College Aid Society is the oldest and a
most helpful auxiliary to the University work and
life.
LECTURES AND RECITALS
The nearness to the city of Xenia, gives frequent
opportunities for hearing distinguished lecturers and
musical recitals upon the various lecture courses of¬
fered in the Opera House.
A lecture committee of the University also pre¬
sents individual lecturers of note to the student body
from time to time, while the societies and classes give
dramas, or musical recitals at stated intervals.
Public Rhetoricals are held monthly, and Found¬
er's Day, February 24, is a regular day set apart for
honoring the foundation, on which a distinguished
lecturer is heard.

year.
Rev. Samuel Gaskings Scholarship of $50.00, avail¬
able for 1911, is the gift of Rev. S. G. Gaskings of
Liverpool, England.
Walter Hall Steward Memorial Fund : From this-
fund of $ 1,309.84 given by Chaplain T. G. Steward
in memory of his son, the interest affords a first schol¬
arship of $ 50.00. Any income above this goes to¬
ward the founding of a second scholarship, and so on.
These scholarships are to be awarded to members of
the Senior College Class, by vote of the College Fac¬
ulty. The first scholarship was available in 1910.
Paul Lawrence Dunbar Scholarship. The first
scholarship of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Association
was recently voted to be given to Wilberforce Uni¬
versity. It is to be the interest on $2,000-00, and the-
Association names the recipient. Paul L- D. Taylor,
a nephew of the poet, is the first one named. Dr.
David Clark of Boston, W. D. Howells and other
prominent men, also women, are members of this
Association.
Senatorial Districts and County Scholarship.—
Each Senator and Representative of the General As_
semby of the State may designate one or more
youth resident of his District who shall be entitled

26
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
These scholarships afford tuition, room,heat and liffW
Conference Scholarships.—These are variable, a-
the discretion of the Conferences of the A. M.
Church, several of which afford stated help as they
may annually decide, to students preparing for the
ministry and others who may be selected by them as
beneficiaries.
Berea Scholarships.—Supports two students
from Kentucky, in lieu of admittance to Berea, from
which they are barred by Kentucky's recent decision.
"Boxwell-Patterson"—"The Boxwell-Patterson"
law affords free scholarships to Academic work as
equal to high school work to which this law renders
them eligible. Students having received Boxwell-
Patterson certificate of graduation from the public
schools may pursue with free tuition, the course in
Academic Department in lieu of High School.
All possible aid in the way of work is given to
worthy students who have little or no means, but
the University cannot promise any definite number of
students. The energetic and industrious find a limit¬
ed amount of employment in the various halls and
in connection with out-door work upon the farms and
general campus.
NEEDS
Scholarships are greatly needed. Many of
the students need a helping hand to enable them to
continue their course. Hundreds of letters imploring
aid and opportunity to work, that an education may
be obtained, are constantly being received by the
authorities. The University does all in its power to
afford such aid, but the calls far exceed its ability
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
27
to help. A contribution to this end will do great
good, and help many a needy and deserving student
to a life of usefulness. We beg our friends to assist
an this direction.
Our Endowment for general purposes should be
greatly increased, and at least two professorships
should be endowed at once. This is very important.
With the splendid new dormitories for girls as¬
sured and to be occupied before 1912, we must turn
our attention to a building for recitation work. This
can be afforded in a science building which is needed
for adequate work in this line.
We solicit contribution of scientific and philoso¬
phical works to the library. .
A chapel for general services is also needed. Plans
are being made for a Payne Memorial Chapel to be
erected by 1912. We hope to accomplish this
through the efforts of the Alumni, aided by friends.
RELIGION AND MORALS
The charter of the University forbids any re¬
ligious discrimination. All sectarianism is discoun¬
tenanced, but assiduous efforts are made to favor and
render inviolate the profession of Christianity, and to
induce those who are not truly religious to become so.
To all who are inclined to respect the Christian
religion and its institution, the welcome hand will
be heartily extended ; but to those whose influence is
prejudicial to religion and good morals, no protracted
stay can be allowed ; since the success of an educa¬
tional enterprise is strictly proportional to its moral
and religious tone.
At 7:45 all the students assemble for Chapel ser¬
vice which consists of reading a portion of the scrip-
28
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
ture, singing a hymn and prayer. Each Monday
evening, a student's prayer meeting is held under the
auspices of a Religious committee of the Faculty. All
students are required to attend these exercises, church,
on the Sabbath and Bible Class in the College Chapel.
The Bible is a recognized textbook in the Univer¬
sity.

Tuition, incidentals, room-rent, and library fee
must be paid in advance each term. No one will be pre-
mitted to recite until these bills are settled. Ex¬
perience recommends that all money for such pur¬
poses be sent to the Secretary or President of the
University two weeks before the beginning of each term.
The Secretary or President will receive and care for
all money students or parents may wish to deposit.
We cannot be responsible for losses unless this is
done.
Washing, lights, books etc., vary too much to
make an estimate, and are not included in the above
statement of expenses.
Each room is furnished with bedstead, mattress,
two pillows, table and two chairs. Students should
bring their own bed-clothing, towels, etc., with name
marked in full.
As all male students not excused from military
drill are required by the Boards to provide themselves
with a uniform, this can take the place of other
clothing at even less expense.
The cost of the uniform is about $12.00 a suit,
made to order and including a cap. Patrons are
urged to act upon this suggestion. All money for
uniforms should be sent the authorities, and not to
the student, to assure proper expenditures in this
direction.
DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.
Upon those who satisfactorily complete the Classi¬
cal Course and sustain in the meantime a good moral
character, the degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred ;
in the Scientific, Bachelor of Science. Graduates
who spend five years in literary pursuits, upon pre-
30

GOVERNMENT
The Government is inflexibly strict in excluding
all practice tending to immorality, and in exacting a
uniform regard for order, studious habits, and the
prescribed routine of duty. Wholesome regulations
are instituted, designed to promote the prosperity and
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
31
happiness of students, which will commend them¬
selves to every well disposed mind, and receive the
cordial support of every lady and gentleman. A dis¬
position tc evade just and salutary rules will meet
with special disapproval. In the work of instruction,
as well as of discipline, the aim is to inspire and in¬
crease in the student self-respect, self-control and
self-development.
A daily account is kept of each student in such a
way as to afford a full exhibit of his habits in regard
to regulation and punctuality, as well as to the merit
and demerit of his recitations each day, in his several
studies. A quarterly report is sent to each parent or
guardian.
All unexcused delinquences are registered, and
when the number amounts to three or any number
less than five, the student is called before the Disci¬
pline committee for admonition and warning. When
it amounts to five or any number more than five, and
less than ten, notice thereof is given to the student
and to the parent or guardian. When the number
of unexcused delinquences amounts to ten, he ceases
to be a member of the University.
Whenever the faculty is satisfied that a student
is not fulfilling or likely to fulfill the purpose of his
residence at the University, or is for any cause an
unfit member of the same, his parents or guardians
shall be notified, that they may have opportnnity to
withdraw him and if not withdrawn within reasonable
time he shall be peremptorily dismissed. Instant
dismissal may take place for those graver offenses
that may require it.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT
Through the influence of Senators, John Sher¬
man and Calvin S. Brice, Hon. George W. Hulick
and others, President Cleveland authorized the Sec¬
retary of War to designate Wilberforce University as
a School of military training and detailed Lieut. John
Alexander as Professor of Military Science and Tac¬
tics. His sudden decease led to the detail of a second
officer and Lieut. Charles Young, a graduate of West
Point,received such appointment. The scholastic,phys¬
ical and diciplinary advantages of such a department
make it an acquisition of exceptional value. It is to the
honor of Wilberforce that it is the first colored insti¬
tution, and as yet the only one, to receive such a favor
-of the general government. The War Department has
-supplied arms, cannon and equipments to the value of
.$4,000. On May 23, 1895, the first inspection was had
by Capt. Heistand, the regular U- S. military inspec¬
tor, the result of which was entirely creditable to the
-department.
During the recent hostilities between the United
States and Spain, Lieut. Young was granted a leave
of absence by the war department and was appointed
Major of the Ninth Battalion, Ohio Volunteer Infan¬
try by Govenor Bushnell. Fourteen cadets and ex-ca¬
dets entered the Battalion with him. Messrs. Bass,
Ballard and Welch were among those promoted to
lieutenancies. The efficiency of our cadets in the
54
wilberforce university
55
regular battalion drill was superior to anything else in
the command. Though not called to the scene of ac¬
tion, Lieut. Young held his position and was in camp
until the war closed. Then he returned to us. In
the fall of 1899 he rejoined his regular regiment
in anticipation of promotion. During his absence the
senior officers in rank took command of the cadets—
Capt. S.A. Hull,class of '98, followed in turn by Capt.
J. S. Coage, Class of '90, and later by Iyieut. W. P.
Welch, Class of '00, who was in turn followed by A. A.
Brown, Class of '02, C. M. Gaines, Class of '03, A. W.
Asbury Class of '02. All these young men gave good
service,rendering satisfaction to all concerned.
Lieut. B. O. Davis, was detailed by the War De¬
partment as instructor of Military Science and Tac¬
tics in the year 3905, and made a most excellent offi¬
cer. In 1909, his time for detail expired and he was
withdrawn. Iyieut. John K. Green of the 25th In¬
fantry was detailed to take his place, and is now in
charge.
Nine young men examined by the general in¬
specting officers have graduated from this department
and their names are on file with the War Department
at Washington.

The cadets are formed into a batallion officered
from their own numbers, these officers to be chosen
from those who excel in class standing-, who are most
exemplary in deportment, correct in the performance
of duty and military in bearing. Special attention
will be given to seeing that the cadets wear their uni¬
forms to all military duties, that they are obedient,
polite, orderly and clean, as from habits thus formed
must be expected the good to be derived from mili¬
tary training.
All male students, unless especially excused, take
instruction and drill in this department. ALL STU¬
DENTS ARK REQUIRED BY THE BOARD TO
provide themselves with uniforms, which can take the
place of other clothing at even less expense.
The cost of the uniform is about $12.00 a suit,
made to order and including a cap. Patrons are urged
to act upon this suggestion. All money for uniforms
should be sent to the authorities, and not to the stu¬
dent to assure proper expenditure in this direction.

HISTORY AND CALENDAR
The organization of Payne Theological Seminary
was brought about by the efforts of Bishop Benjamin
W. Arnett who interested in the effort Rev. John G.
Mitchell and his wife Fannie A. He secured the
option of their place, and then presented the plan to
Rev. James A. Handy, Professor J. P. Shorter, Bishop
W. J. Gaines, Bishop B.F. L,ee and Bishop A. Grant,
who approved and gave their hearty co-operation.
Authority was secured from the board of Trustees,
as follows :
The Board of Trustees of Wilberforce University,
at its session, June 1890, on motion of Bishop A.
Grant, made Bishop B. W. Arnett chairman of a com¬
mittee to consider the propriety and feasibility of
establishing a Theological Seminary at Wilberforce
to be a part of it, but to be controlled by a peculiar
arrangement, so that it would be made more efficient
than at that time. The following is the committee as
completed :
Bishop B. W. Arnett, D. D Wilberforce
Bishop W. J. Gaines, D. D Atlanta, Ga
Bishop A. Grant, D. D San Antonio, Tex

The subject of how to improve the facilities of the
Theological Department, and how to get more per¬
sons to attend, and thereby increase the power of
the pulpit, was considered prayfully. The growing de¬
mands of the church, the imperative requirements and
demands for trained and tried men to be the moral
and spiritual leaders, were weighed by the committee,
who came to the unanimous conclusion that unless
the church put forth some organized effort to perpet-
tuate an intelligent ministry, it would have to go to
the rear of the procession, or of progress, and even¬
tually lose its place as leader of the advanced guard
of race redeemers. It was apparent to the committee
that the magnitude of the work of the church and
complexity of the organization—that those who were
to control and manage it must be trained in the doc¬
trine, laws, customs and history of the church from
its organization to the present, so that they might see
its possibilities, and comprehend the work to be done
in the future.
The plan of the committee was presented to the
Trustee Board at its session, June 18, and after some
modifications, was unanimously adopted. The name
chosen was
The Payne Theological Seminary of
wllberforce.
The name was given in honor of Bishop Daniel
Alexander Payne. The senior Bishop of ehe A.M.E.
Church, who was born February, 1811, in Charleston
S. C., and who from early childhood had been en¬
gaged in the work of mental and moral training. He
was the pioneer educator in the South land before the
War. He was driven away from his home, May 15,
WII.BERFORCE UNIVERSITY
63-
1835, and found a home in the North, and there he
took the place of a leader of leaders, and stood for
more than fifty years without an equal or a superior
in the work of race redemption. He lived to see a
wonderful change in the work of education. When
the work began there were but few true and tried
friends. Now many leaders inside and outside of the
church are all champions of the cause of Christian
education.

O'NEILL HALL, WILBRRFORCE UNIVERSITY
COMBINED NORMAL & INDUSTRIAL
DEPARTMENT
This Department was established at Wilberforce
University by actor Legislature of Ohio in 1887, and
by an almost unanimous vote of the General assembly
in 1896 was placed upon permanent support by direct
levy with the other educational institutions of the
State.
It is under direct control of a special Board of
nine Trustees, five elected by the Governor and four
by the University Boards. According to the law under
which it is organized, every member of the legislature
•is entitled to select one or more youth from his district
who may receive benefits of the department free of
tuition, room rent, heating and incidental expenses.
But all students are required to pay the Library fee,
and the boys must take work in Military unless phy¬
sically disabled, and must procure uniforms.
Senators and Representatives who appoint State
students to this Department, are respectfully asked to
give the preference to those who are prepared to enter
upon the Normal or Commercial courses on the one
hand, or to those who intend to follow one or more
industries to completion. The crowded condition of
our buildings, would urge this suggestion, if no
other demand were upon us.
Certificates of such appointments are valid for the
entire course for which they are given, but the State
81
82
ANNUAL, CATALOGUE
students are required not to absent themselves at any
time during the school year for more than eight con¬
secutive weeks on pain of forfeiting their certificates.
State students may take either Normal or Com¬
mercial Courses, combined with some line of Indus¬
trial work. Students who select industrial work must
continue in the line selected during the year.
A diploma is awarded to those who complete the
Normal and Commercial Courses, and a certificate to
those who complete an Industrial or Shorthand and
Typewriting Course if literary conditions are fulfilled.
This department is destined to become the great
center in the North for Normal and Industrial train¬
ing for Colored youth.
We invite attention to the advantages offered in
our Industrial courses.
O'Neill Hall, erected in 1890, is a fine brick build¬
ing, five stories high, including mansard story and
basement, and furnishes dormitory accommodation
for eighty young men. On the first floor are the
Normal, Art and Practice rooms.
The dormitory rooms are furnished with bedsteads,
spring mattresses and pillows, dressers, washstands,
chairs and tables ; heated by hot water, supplied with
bath-rooms and laundry. Fire escapes and Babcock
fire-extinguishers have been provided ; also hose at¬
tachment with water works system.
The dormitory for young ladies, Arnett Hall ac¬
comodates over one hundred, and was occupied in
Sept. 1903. It contains laundry, kitchen, dining
rooms, and affords accommodation for Cooking, Sew¬
ing and Music Departments. There are also parlors
and a large reception room. It is heated with hot
WILBBRFORCE UNIVERSITY
83
water and supplied with modern conveniences. The
carpentry work was all done by students under the
snpervision of the head of the Carpentry Department,
affording the best possible advantage of what the
students can do.
The use of power and electricity was introduced in
1895, a forty horse-power engine and a 500 incandes¬
cent dynamo were employed for the purpose. These
were destroyed when the Carpentry building was
burned in 1902—a three-story brick-sheathed structure
erected chiefly by the students in 1895.
In 1900 a new brick building, Howells Hall, was
erected for the Printing Department and equipped
with a Cranston improved Newspaper and Book press,
and an 8x12 Chandler and Price Gordon.
In 1908 this Department was moved to Poindexter
Hall, built in 1905, where the Carpentry also found
quarters, leaving Howells Hall to be occupied by the
new industry Laundering. The students not only
did the carpentry work on these new buildings, but
also put in concrete foundations, moulded the concrete
blocks for trimmings and assisted in laying the brick
walls.
Other additions to the equipment have been add¬
ed, and the students now Print catalogues, reports,
diplomas and other school work.
In 1900 Shoemaking was included in the Indus¬
tries and when the legislature made provisions for in¬
creasing these so as to include Millinery, Tailoring,
Plumbing, Machine Work, Blacksmithing, Brickmak-
ing, Bricklaying and Stone Masonry, the first four of
these found place in the new Trades Building, Gallo¬
way Hall, which was erected in 1905-06. In 1905 a
84
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
brick building- was erected for Blacksmithing, con¬
taining five forges, and all necessary facilities for in¬
struction of students.
In 1904, the Legislature provided for a light and
heating plant, erecting a brick building for the same.
From this central power plant, all buildings are
heated and furnished with the electric lights, as are
also the grounds. Finding the power not sufficient
for increased demand upon it, in 1908 another boiler
and an engine were installed to provide for the con¬
tinued growth of the department.
Since 1909 one wing and the center of a Senior cot¬
tage have been completed for occupancy.
A farm of 130 acres of land adjoining the Univer¬
sity grounds was early added, and developments in
Agriculture are in progress.
Most valuable lectures on practical farming and
domestic animals have been given from time to time
by prominent specialists residing in the county.
To the philanthropy of the state of Ohio is due
the progress made in the direction of buildings and
increased facilities. No language can measure the
service rendered to the cause of education by our
noble bodies of legislators.

VOCAL MUSIC
George T. Simpson, Instructor
Voice Culture is a distinct branch in the depart¬
ment of Music- The art of singing- is the foundation
of all true Musical Culture. The voice is our pecul¬
iar connate instrument; it is the living sympathetic
organ of our soul. Whatever moves within us, what¬
ever sensation or emotion we feel, becomes immediate¬
ly embodied and is perceptible in our voice.
The ability to sing is like any of our natural pow¬
ers which God has given us. The true cultivation
of the voice consist in the developement of pure tone,
correct use of breath, intonation, attack, legate, accent,
phrasing, and enunciation, which are the leading fea¬
tures of technical drill.
Singing Classes
Students are graded in Vocal Music and promot¬
ed on examination. With application it is possible
for all who take this course to learn notation, and read
readily any ordinary composition. Those completing
the course are thoroughly prepared to begin success¬
fully Voice Culture.
COURSE OF STUDY
Elementary : Notation. One, Two, and three
part singing, Choral singing begun.
Intermediate*. Notation. One, Two, three and
Four part singing. Sight reading commenced, Choral
singing continued.
Advanced : Notation. Sight reading, Chorus
singing, Directing.
Lessons in Musical History,—Fillmore; Harmony

mediate, and advanced music classes, take one hour
per week for practice aside from their regular work.
From these classes, selections are made for the S.
Coleridge-Taylor Choral Union, University Choir,
Church Choir, Glee Club, Women's G Clef Club etc.
Such an arrangement greatly improves the congrega¬
tional, Choir and individual singing. Much is done

dent that will lead to the higher attainment of musi¬
cal culture in which our students as a class are apt.
The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Union

Notwithstanding the output of the modern Shoe
Factory, and the tendency in modern life to purchase
ready made goods, the function of the shoemaker is
by no means a past fact. He supplies a demand which
cannot be met otherwise, for the peculiarity of the
foot often requires the personal attention of the arti¬
san. Then there is the matter of repairs to be con¬
sidered in this statement of condition. The benefit
of the art to a community and the advantage to the
artisan himself, are evident for the reason that ac¬
curacy, neatness, taste and patience are essential in
the skilled shoemaker.
Once every week at least a lecture will be deliver¬
ed to the first and second year students.

thoroughly and efficiently, that those who learn it,
will be able to put garments far superior in fit and
workmanship to those of the ready-made clothier, and
far more pleasing and suited to the taste of the well-
dressed public.
All students entering this department are required
to know elementary drawing.
Two hours each week during the first year are
devoted to shop practice, and two hours each week
