fiistory.
On September 21, 1844, a committee was appointed in the
Dhio Conference of the A. M. E. Church to select a site for a
seminary of learning. One hundred and seventy-two acres,
twelve miles west of Columbus, were purchased and Union
Seminary was projected.
On Sept. 28, 1853, the Cincinnati Conference of theM. E.
Church selected a committee which recommended ' 'the estab¬
lishment 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 con¬
current action, the M. E. and the A. M. E. Conferences 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 selected, including Gov. Salmon P. Chase, President
R. S. Rust, Ashland Keith, of the colored Baptist denomination,
and Bishop D. A. Payne ; and the broad principle adopted that
there shall never be any distinction among the trustees, faculty,
or students on account of race or color.
The University began its work in Oct., 1856, under Rev.
M. P. Gaddis, as Principal. He was succeeded by Prof. James
K. Parker, and he by Dr. Richard S. Rust, the first President.
During the first epoch, which terminated with the Civil War,
the number of students, largely the children of southern plan¬
ters, varied from seventy to a hundred. Revivals were expe¬
rienced, and commendable progress 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 purchased the pro¬
perty 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 becoming President.
The tJnion Seminary property was sold, and proceeds,
faculty, and pupils merged into the larger enterprise. On the
day that Iyincoln was assassinated, the main building was burned

and the growing work checked. But the heroic founder and
his associates redoubled their efforts. Congress, in 1870, appro¬
priated $ 25,000; Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase bequeathed $ 10,
000; the Chas. Avery estate added $ 10,000, and the American
Unitarian Association gave for lectures $6,000. During this
administration, $92,875 was the aggregate of receipts from all
sources, including loans, funds returned to the treasury, etc.,
and the registration of students reached 1553, an average of 113.
For 13 years Bishop Payne presided over the affairs of the
University. He called to his aid such instructors as Dr. Wm.
Kent, of England; Prof. T. E. Suliot, of Edinburgh, Scotland;
Dr. John G. Mitchell, of Oberlin; Prof. W. B. Adams, of
Amherst; Prof. B. K. Sampson, of Oberlin; and Prof. J. P.
Shorter, of Wilberf orce, Ohio. Among the ladies who rendered
valuable services, were Miss Ester T. Maltby and Miss Sarah
Jane Woodson, of Oberlin, Mrs. Alice M. Adams, of Holyoke,
and Miss Mary McBride, of Oswego.
From under Bishop Payne's hands went out 26 graduates.
President Payne left his impress on every line of development.
He organized the Church of the Holy Trinity, the Society of
Inquiry on Missions, and the Ladies' College Aid Society,
and secured a Ward museum worth $2,000.
Rev. B. F. Lee succeeded to the presidency in 1876. In
1877, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, a graduate of Oberlin College,
was appointed to the chair of Latin and Greek, and Mrs. S. C.
Bierce (nowScarborough), of Oswego Normal School, was called
to the Principalship of the Normal Department, which was
rapidly developed under her management. She was also in¬
structor in Natural Sciences, and instituted the movement that
resulted in obtaining the present Museum, for which Bishop
Payne secured the funds. Through the Missionary Department
of the church, the island of Haiti was brought into close rela¬
tions, and five of her sons entered upon various courses of study.
President Lee continued at the head of affairs eight years,
registering 1,179 students, an average of 147, graduating 41.
There was entered as receipts during the period $79,202.80.
The University reached its highest enrollment, for the first
twenty years, in 1879-80, of 171 students. All through these
*4 ANNUAL CATALOGUE
years, revivals occurred with the return of every session, and
hundreds of young men and young women learned life's noblest
lesson of consecrated purpose to the cause of God and man¬
kind.
In 1884, President I^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. During the incumbency of Pres.
Mitchell, 2,924 students registered, an average of 209. The
year 1896 showed the highest enrollment, 334. 249 students
graduated from literary and 210 from industrial cources. Nine
completed the military course, and are officially entered in the
United States Army Register. There was raised in round num-
>ers $ 300,125. The property increased in value from $ 13,500
when purchased by Bishop Payne, to $ 130,000 (including en¬
dowments) in 1892. On April 5,1898, the Ohio legislature, by
a unanimous vote in both Houses, placed at the credit of the
Endowment Fund of the University, the Randolph Fund of $6,
643-
Rev. Joshua H. Jones, A.M., D.D., was elected Presi¬
dent of the University in 1900, and it appears that under his
administration an era of prosperity and progress unsurpassed
in the history of the institution is about to dawn.
On March 19, 1887, the legislature passed a law establish¬
ing the Normal and Industrial Department. It is supported
entirely by the State. It is placed on the same financial basis
as the other State educational institutions, receiving a levy of
one-hundredth of a mill on the grand tax duplicate, about
$17,800 per annum. No higher indorsement of a colored in¬
stitution can be found in the United States. Professor J. P.
Shorter is the Superintendent.
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 Wilberforce University. With him were
associated Prof. W. S. Scarborough and the Rev. G. W. Prio-
leau on the first faculty. Tuition is free. The Seminary is
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
supported by the A. M. E. Church. It has a faculty of three,
and presents both an English and a Regular course.
On January 9, 1894, President Cleveland detailed Lieut.
John H. Alexander to organize, and instruct in a Military
Department at Wilberforce. His sudden death created a
vacancy which was filled by the appointment of Lieut. Charles
Young, the only remaining colored officer in the United States
Army who is a graduate of West Point. Lieut. Young ren¬
dered excellent service to the University, not only in a military
capacity, but also in giving gratuitous instruction in French
and Trigonometry.
GENERAL DATA.
The attendance is drawn from 30 States, or more, aside from
Canada, Africa, the West Indies, Mexico and South America.
In inter-collegiate oratorical contests, Wilberforce has won twice
in Ohio — the only times entered, and furnishing the only col¬
ored contestants. She received a medal for her exhibit at
New Orleans, a diploma in Paris, and a medal and a diploma
at the World's Fair at Chicago.
President William McKinley and the Hon. Frederick
Douglass are on the list of her honorary Alumni.
CONDITIONS FOR ADMISSION.
Every person applying for admission must bring testimo¬
nials of good moral character.
No student from abroad under fourteen years of age will
be admitted as a member of the University nor of a lower grade
than the First Year English Preparatory.
When it is desired that students board in families, their
parents and guardians must consult the faculty before selecting
their boarding places.
Students, having been dismissed, will not be re¬
admitted to the University at a subsequent session unless
they have received the indorsement of the faculty.
Students from other schools must present certificates of
honorable dismission from the proper authorites.

thoroughly examined in the studies of the previous year, or
their equivalents.
At the close of each term, the classes are examined in the
studies of the term. Important examinations are held at va¬
rious times throughout the term. Both oral and written exam¬
inations are held at the end of the year.
No student will be permitted to continue with his class
unless his record during the term and at the examination show
good scholarship, and reach the average required by the fac¬
ulty.
LIBRARY.
The University library contains about 5,500 volumes.
The personal library of the late Rev. J. P. Morris is a val¬
uable addition. Excellent libraries belong both to Payne Sem¬
inary and the Normal and Industrial Department.
MUSEUM.
Museum Hall was fitted up in 1876 for the reception of a
Museum valued at $2,000. The Museum contains excellent
collections in Botany, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Lithology
and Zoology. The selections have been made with reference
to working value and usefulness, and afford students an oppor¬
tunity for scientific study which can only be pursued success¬
fully with suitable specimens. We solicit from our friends
such contributions as will add to the interest and value of
our collections.
ART ROOM.
The Art Room contains plaster models of statuary to the
value of $200, the gift of Rev. J. Ware, of Boston; also the pri¬
vate art collection of Bishop Payne. We desire to increase
these collections and will gratefully acknowledge all gifts.
LABORATORY.
The Laboratory has been recently enlarged, and is a valu¬
able auxiliary to the study of the sciences.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The late Mr. A. I. Powers, of Pottsdam, N. Y., estab¬
lished an endowment fund for two scholarships, and the late
Mrs. Mary E. Monroe endowed the Monroe scholarships.

the A. M. E. Church maintains others. While the will of
Bishop Payne makes provisions for seven Payne scholarships.
NEEDS.
Many of the students need a helping hand to enable them
to continue their course; hundreds of letters imploring aid and
opportunity for work, that an education may be obtained, are
annually received by the President and the Secretary. Great
good would be accomplished in this direction by contributions.
While the Institution, through its officers, will do all in its
power to encourage worthy students who have little or no
means, yet it cannot promise any definite amount of work or
support, without work, for any definite number of students.
Will not our friends aid us in helping the needy and deserving
ones?
We are in need of additional apparatus for the depart¬
ment of Science and applied Mathematics. We need funds for
the improvement of buildings and grounds, and especially for
the erection of dormitories. Scientific and philosophical works
that bring discovery and discussion down to the latest hour,
are needed as reference-books for professors and students. It
is believed that no better investments can be made than to de¬
vote funds to the purposes mentioned.
SOCIETIES.
There are maintained by the students four literary socie¬
ties—the Sodal ian, the Philomathean, the Payne, and the
Dodds—a Y.M.C.A., a Y.W.C.A., a Y.P.S.C.E., a missionary
society, the Orpheus Orchestra, an Atheletic Association, and
the University Brass Band. There is a Ladies' College Aid
Society, the oldest and one of the most helpful auxiliaries at
the University.
THE WORLD'S FAIR.
At the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, the lit¬
erary and industrial products of Wilberforce University were
presented in its own special exhibit, and were awarded the Co¬
lumbian medal and diploma "for student work".

and the prescribed routine of duty. Wholesome regulations
are instituted, designed to promote the prosperity and happi¬
ness of students, which will commend themselves to every well
disposed mind, and receive the cordial support of every lady
and gentleman. A disposition to 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 increase in the
student self-respect, self-control and self-development. All
students are expected to conduct themselves in manly and
womanly manners.

any number more than five, and less than ten, notice thereof
is given to the student and to his parents or guardian. When
the number of unexcused delinquencies amounts to ten, he
ceases to be a member of the University. Any student who
marries while pursuing studies at the University, forfeits his
membership.

filling 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 guardian shall be notified, that they may have
opportunity to withdraw him, and if not withdrawn within a
reasonable time he shall be peremptorily dismissed.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Wilberforce is three and a quarter miles northeast of Xenia
which is on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, & St. Louis Ry.
65 miles from Cincinnati, and 55 miles from Columbus. Wil¬
berforce Station, at which accommodation trains stop, is within
twenty minutes walk westward to the University. The health-
fulness and beauty of the locality is unsurpassed. Its mineral

MEDICAL SERVICE.
Mrs. Susan Maria Steward, M.D.,an experienced physician,
formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., now of Wilberforce, has been
elected by the Trustee Board as Resident Physician. She
readily answers all demands at a medium charge for services.
TELEPHONE SERVICE.
A telephonic connection within the University secures the
immediate transmission of all'telegrams. Students and other
persons on reaching Xenia, will reduce expenses by using the
depot telephone or proceeding to the Telephone Exchange,
calling up Wilberforce, and ordering conveyance from the Uni¬
versity,. ^ none is found in waiting.
RELIGIOUS INFORMATION.
At 7:45 all the students assemble for Chapel service which
consists in reading a portion of the Scripture, singing a hymn,
and prayer.
All sectarianism will be discontenanced, but assidious
efforts will be 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 institutions, 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 educational enterprise is strictly propor¬
tional to its moral and religious tone..
FURNISHINGS.
Each room is furnished with bedstead, mattress, two
pillows, table, and two chairs. University Hall is heated by
steam, and O'Neill Hall, by hot water. The incidental fees
include the cost of heating. Bath rooms have been arranged

Subjects of Study.
Science.
The aim of tnis course is to give the student a knowledge of
natural science that will be a basis for extensive study in any sub¬
ject. The laboratory method is used with each branch. In Physics
the lectures, experiments and study are in mechanics, heat, electric¬
ity and the applications of the last. Various works are used. For
the study of Botany hundreds of herbarium specimens from Europe
and North and South America are available to the student. The
vicinity is especially rich in plant life of hill, meadow, riverside and
marsh. In Chemistry the work is confined to principles, experi¬
ments in general chemistry and qualitative analysis. The Museum
offers special advantage in studying Mineralogy, Paleontology, Lith-
ology and Zoology. The laboratory practice of the last subject in¬
cludes the study in the dissecting-room of the vital parts of animals.

The aim of this department is twofold: to teach the why and the
how. Principle is never sacrificed for brevity. The text book is
used merely as a text book. When necessary, additional problems

are given of the demonstrations in the text are discarded. The stu¬
dent learns early to criticise his own statements, those of his class¬
mates, the teacher and the text. In this manner accurate, concise,
progressive statements are secured.
Arithmetic extends through the English Preparatory work. ^Al¬
gebra covers two years. The first year completes the work to quad¬
ratics. In College Algebra the first term reviews to quadratics; the
second and third complete the book.
The solution of propositions in Geometry requires a clear con¬
ception of definitions, of what is given and what is required. Neith¬
er careless statements nor carelessly drawn figures afe accepted,
Originality is developed by the solution of original propositions.
The study of Trigonometry requires a good knowledge of Ge¬
ometry, Algebra and Logarithms. The trigonometric functions are
taught by projections. The generality of each formula is empha¬
sized. Identities receive much attention. The idea of directed
lines is enlarged. In Surveying, fields are surveyed, plotted and the
areas computed. The department is in need of some first class in¬
struments.
Analytic Geometry and the Calculus are being introduced for the
first time and much can not yet be said concerning them.
Caution. Students to do the best work in this department
must be here at the opening of the school year. A month late crip-

Applicants, before admission to the course, will be required to
pass a satisfactory examination in English studies. A knowledge of
Latin is very desirable. A Classical or a Scientific Course is recom¬
mended as a preparatory basis f >r a course in law. While the text
books indicated will be regularly studied, collateral reading will be
arranged.
Terms: Instruction and use of text books, per term, $16.00, or
$96.00 for the entire course.
It is the aim of this department to give its students a thorough
training, not merely that they may become proficient in playing the
Pianoforte, but also thoroughly versed in Harmony, Theory and
History of Music. Ensemble work is 'ff-red in this course. Two
rehearsals are held each month which give the student an opportun¬

military Department.
Through the influence of Senators John Sherman and
Calvin S. Brice, Hon. George W. Hulick and others, President
Cleveland authorized the Secretary of War to designate Wilber-
force University as a school for military training and detailed
Lieut. John H. Alexander as Professor of Military Science and
Tactics. 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, physical and disciplinary
advantages of such a department, in addition to the military,
makes it an acquisition of exceptional value. It is to the honor
of Wilberforce that it is the first colored institution, and as yet
the only one, to receive such favor from the general govern¬
ment. The War Department has supplied arms, cannon and
equipments to the value of $3,386.21. On May 23, 1895, the
first inspection was had by Capt. Heistand, the regular U. S.
military inspector, the result of which was entirely creditable
to the department. The uniforms were especially commended.
The cost of the uniforms is about $12.00 a suit, made to order
and including a cap. All male students unless expressly excus¬
ed take instruction and drill in this department. The Univer¬
sity authorities expect its students to have uniforms which can
take the place of other clothing at even less expense. Patrons
are urged to act upon this suggestion. All students are RE¬
QUIRED BY THE BOARD to provide themselves with
uniforms.
Theoretical—a Includes recitations in the drill reg¬
ulations, supplemented by lectures on minor tactics, army
organization, administration and discipline, small arms, firing,
regulations and other military subjects, b Military signal
code, c Student essay upon military subjects.
Practical—a Military drill and gymnastics, b Artillery
drill and maneuvers, c Target practice, d Military signal¬
ing. E Marching, castrametation and exercises in minor tactics.
The cadets are formed into a battalion officered from their
own numbers, these officers to be chosen from those who excel
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY 35
in class-standing, who are most exemplary in deportment, cor¬
rect in the performance of duty and military in bearing.
Special attention will be given to seeing that the cadets wear
their uniforms at all military duties, that they are obedient,
polite, orderly and cleanly, as from habits thus formed must
be expected the good to be derived from military training.
During the recent hostilities between the United States
and Spain, Lieut. Young was granted a leave of abscence by
the war department and was appointed Major of the Ninth
Battalion, Ohio Volunteer Infantry by Governor Bushnell.
Fourteen cadets and ex-cadets entered the Battalion with him.
Messrs. Bass, Ballard and Welch were among those promoted
to lieutenances. The efficiency of our cadets in the regular
battalion drill was superior to anything else in the command.
Though not called to the scene of action 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 cadet—Capt.
S. A. Hull, Class of '98, followed in turn by Capt. J. S. Coage,
Class of '99, and later by Lieut. W. P. Welch, Class of 'oo.
All these young men gave good service, rendering satisfaction
to all concerned.
Nine young men examined by the general inspecting offi¬
cers have graduated from the department and their names are
on file with the War Department at Washington.
Note.—Subjects for graduating theses from all depart¬
ments must be handed in by the first day of the second term
of each year.

Payne theological Seminary-
fiistory and Catalogue.
The organization of Payne Theological Seminary was
brought about by the efforts of Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett,
who interested in the effort the Rev. John G. Mitchell and his
wife, Fannie A. He secured the option of their place, and
then presented the plan to Rev. Jas. A. Handy, Prof. J. P.
Shorter, Bishop W. J. Gaines, Bishop B. F. Lee 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 committee to consider the
propriety and feasibility of establishing a Theological Semina¬
ry 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 complet¬
ed:
Bishop B. W. Arnett, D.D Wilberforce, O
Bishop W. J. Gaines, D.D Atlanta, Ga
Bishop A. Grant, D.D San Antonio, Tex
Rev. J. A. Handy, D.D Washington, D. C
Rev. B. F. Lee, D.D., LL.D Philadelphia, Pa
Rev. T. H. Jackson, D.D Wilberforce, O
Prof. J. P. Shorter, A.M., LL.D..Wilberforce, O
The subject of how to improve the facilities of the Theo¬
logical Department, and how to get more persons to attend,
and thereby increase the power of the pulpit, was considered
prayerfully. The growing demands of the church, the imper¬
ative requirements and demands of the age for trained and
tried men to be the moral and spiritual leaders, were weighed
b}^ the committee, who came to the unanimous conclusion that
unless the church put forth some organized effort to perpetuate
an intelligent ministry, it would have to go to the rear of the
procession of progress, and eventually lose its place as the lead¬
er 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 con¬
trol and manage it must be trained in the doctrine, laws, cus¬
toms and history of the church from its organization to the
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY 53
present, so that they may 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, 1891, and after some modifications,
was unanimously adopted. The name chosen was
The; Payne Theological Seminary op Wilberforce.
This name was given in honor of Bishop Daniel Alexander
Payne, the Senior Bishop of the A. M. K. Church, who was
born February 24, 1811, in Charleston, S. C., and who from
early childhood had been engaged 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
r5> I^35, and found a home in the North, and there he took
the place of a leader of the 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.

LIBRARY.
Three private libraries, containing in the aggregate about
one thousand volumes, have recently been given the Seminary.
The largest, containing very valuable theological books, was
the library of the late Bishop Campbell; the second in size was
that of Charles Ray ; the third belonged to Joseph Ellington ;
others to Bishops Waymanand Handy, and Rev. J. R. Hamil¬
ton. About sixty small volumes have been contributed by
friends, through the solicitation of Mrs. S. W. Dodds, M.D.
Several periodicals, weeklies, monthlies, and quarterlies are
received regularly through Bishop Payne and Mrs. S. W.
Dodds.
Theological students may have free access to the Library
and Reading Room, may borrow books, and use carefully the
weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies, according to the rules and
regulations for the government of the library and Reading
Room.
At the first Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors,
June 13, 1893, a plan was adopted to secure a large library for
the Seminary. An outline of that plan is as follows :
The library shall contain a number of alcoves. Each al¬
cove is to number a thousand volumes. The alcove is to con¬
tain a certain number of divisions or shelves. There will be
a company organized for each alcove, numbering as many
members as there are divisions in the alcove. Each Bishop is
to be the president of a company. The names of the president
and members of his company are to be engraved on a silver
plate or written on a suitable tablet and placed upon the alcove.
Any good and responsible person is to have the privilege of
organizing a company and filling an alcove. These alcoves
are all to be filled with valuable books within five years from
the time of the First Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors.
It is expected that a large fine building will be erected be-
58
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
fore the expiration of five years. In this building the new li¬
brary will be located. Every library given by a friend or
friends of the Seminary will be put into a special case, or a
particular division of the case, or an alcove, and the name of
the donor or donors placed upon it.
ADMISSION.
A collegiate education, or its equivalent, constitutes the
necessary preparation for the Regular course of Theology.
The English course has been established to meet a special
demand of quite a large number of young men who have not
the means or time to complete the regular course but who
desire to qualify themselves for the work of the Christian
ministry. A good English education will be necessary to en¬
ter this course.
There is a Theological Preparatory Department for those
who are not prepared to enter the English or short Theologi¬
cal course.

Location.
THIS COMBINED NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT at Wilberforce
University, is situated in the village of Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio, three miles
northeast of the city of Xenia, and three-fourths of a mile north of Wilberforce Station
on the I/ittle Miama Division of the P. C. C. & St. Iy. R. R. The grounds are among the
most picturesque in Southern Ohio, and for many years prior to the founding of the
University, they were an attractive health resort, widely known because of numerous
Mineral Springs, to which the Indians gave the name Ta-wa-wa, "The Sweet Waters."
The location is an exceptionally beautiful one and is free from influences which tend
to detract from student work.

Combined normal ana industrial Department.
This Department was established at Wilberforce Univer¬
sity by Act of Legislature of Ohio in 1887, and by an almost
unanimous vote of the General Assembfy in 1896 was placed
upon permanent support by direct levy with the other educa¬
tional institutions of the State.
It is under the control of a special Board of nine Trustees,
fiveselected by tlie Governor and four by the University Board.
According to the law under which it is organized, every mem-
be® of the Legislature is entitled to select one or more youth
from his district who may receive the benefits of this department
free of tuition, room-rent, heating and incidental expenses.
This°department is destined to become the great centre in'the
North^for Normal and Industrial training for colored youth.
Certificates are valid for the entire course for which they
are given, but State students ate required not to absent them¬
selves at any time during the school year for more than eight
consecutive weeks 011 pain of forfeiting their certificates.
State students may take both N ormal and Industrial work.
Students who select industrial work must continue in the line
selected through the year.
A diploma is awarded to those who complete the Normal
and Commercial Courses, and a certificate to those who com¬
plete an industrial or the Shorthand and Typewriting Course,
if literary conditions are fulfilled.
We invite attention to the advantages offered in our Indus¬
trial courses.
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 Com¬
mercial course on the one hand, or to those who intend to fol¬
low one or more industries to completion. The crowded
condition of our buildings, would urge this suggestion, if no
other demand were upon us.
O'Neill Hall, erected in 1890, is a fine brick building, five
stories high,including mansard story and basement,and furnish¬
es dormitory accommodation for eighty young men. On the first
floor are the Normal, Business, Reception, Library and Milli¬
nery rooms. The dimensions are 120x42 feet ; foundation of
blue limestone ; superstructure of brick with tin roof. The hall
is provided with all modern conveniences, and its completion
marked an epoch in the educational facilities at this institution.
The dormitories are furnished with bedsteads, spring mat¬
tresses and pillows, dressers, washstands, chairs and tables ;

Fire-escapes and Babcock fire-extinguishers have been provied.
The new dormitory for young ladies, Arnett Hall, accom¬
modates over one hundred,and was occupied in September, 1903.
It contains laundry, kitchen, dining rooms, and affords
accommodation for Cooking, Sewing and Music Departments.
There are also parlors and a large reception room. It is heated
with hot water and supplied with modern conveniences. The
carpentry work was all done by students under the supervision
of the head of the Carpentry Department, affording the best
possible example of what the students can do.
To the philanthropy of the State of Ohio is due the pro¬
gress 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.
The use of power and electricity was introduced in 1895—
a forty horse-power engine and a 500 incandescent dynamo
being employed for that purpose.
A three-story industrial building was erected, chiefly by
the students, in 1895, where the Carpentry Department has
its headquarters.
In 1900 a new brick building, Howells Hall, was erected
for the Printing Department and equipped with a Cranston
Improved Newspaper and Book press, an 8x12 Chandler and
Price Gordon ; about 300 pounds of body type, and about 40
fonts of job type. Other additions have been made during the
past year, enabling us to give students thorough practical
training. Under the supervision of the head of this Depart¬
ment, the students now print catalogues, reports, diplomas and
other work for the school.
The same year a beginning in Shoemaking was made for
which a larger building will be provided as soon as means are
available.
The Legislature of 1902 made provisions for increasing the
industries so as to include Millinery, Blacksmithing, Brick-
making, Bricklaying and Stone-masonry. A building was
erected last year for the Blacksmithing, containing five forges
and all necessary facilities for instruction of students. A be¬
ginning was made and the work will be developed as rapidly
as possible. The work in Millinery was also begun with very
satisfactory results.
A farm of 130 acres of land adjoining the University
grounds has been bought, under the direction of the Board,
and developments in agriculture are now in progress.
Most valuable lectures on practical farming and domestic
animals have been given from time to time by prominent

normal Course*
Sarah C. Bierce Scarborough, M.Pd., Principal.
The Normal ^Course aims to meet the growing demand
for professionally trained teachers. The New Education
demands that the teacher shall know what he is to train, why,
and how—that he shall keep pace with the age in its educa¬
tional theories and practices, and that he shall have a founda¬
tion in culture studies sufficient for a strong mental grasp of
the pedagogical work. To this last end the requirements ill
the culture studies of this curriculum bend. Students recite
in these studies with college classes, except in Literature.
The pedagogical work consists of General and Educational
Psychology with Philosophy of Education, History of Educa¬
tion, General and Special Pedagogy, School Economy, and
Practice teaching.
General and Educational Psychology.—This course
gives a foundation for all educational theory and method. It
begins with study of the nervous system, sensation, followed
by mental processes. It discusses such topics as aim of educa¬
tion and instruction, self-activity, attention, interest, correla¬
tion, apperception and imagination, habit, memory and
association, also the emotions, preparatory to Ethics. Child
study also receives attention.
Philosophy of Education.—This is carried 011 in con¬
nection with the preceding by lectures on the principles of ed¬
ucation and discussion of special topics, as educational value
and development.
History of Education.—The aim here is to give a clear
view of the general trend and progress of education by study¬
ing the history of education, institutions, the theories, systems,
methods and individual educational leaders with critical reading
of educational classics; the evolution of the public school sy.->tem
in the United States, some typical city system, types of schools,
present tendencies in education and their value, etc. Kinder¬
garten work is illustrated. Essays are prepared.
General and Special Pedagogy.—Here the aim is first
to show the relation of education as a science to other sciences
as sociology, etc., to show what problems are met in education
and to present special literature upon the subject. The special
methods include language (reading and grammar), geography,
literature and history, number, arithmetic, and nature study.
Grammar and Reading.—Grammar is considered as a
science. The formal steps of instruction are studied and a
typical course in language planned. Reading methods includes
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY
study of fundamental principles involved in teaching reading,
a review and comparison of various methods, and preparation
of typical lessons.
Geography Methods aim to teach not only what Geog¬
raphy is, the preliminary work in home geography, the relation
of concepts such as relief, drainage, soil, climate, productions,
with practical work and consideration of the proper use of text
books, but also the relation the subject bears to other subjects.
A graded course is outlined and discussed.
History Methods take up discussion of topics and typical
periods as centers for work, rise from chronicles, and narrative
to history proper, comparison of old and new methods.
Numbers and Arithmetic Methods cover evolution of
numbers, discussion of Grube and Speer systems of teaching,
Child's first notions, relations, analytic and synthetic processes,
operations and their order, with an outlined grade course, the
developmentof arithmetic—expression, logical order of subjects,
necessary topics for public schools, text-books, plans of develop¬
ment of difficult points.
Nature Study Work includes study of its place in schools
and relation toother studies, its educational value, how studied
in elementary schools and how correlated with other work.
Graded courses are arranged applying to Plants, Animals, Min¬
erals (preparatory for physical geography), Physics and Chem¬
istry (water, air and heat as earth forces).
School Economy.—The work here discusses plans, objects
and requisites of public schools, school-houses, furniture, ap¬
paratus, library, records, organization, qualifications, rights
and duties of teacher, schoolroom habits, recitations, objects,
incentives, study and government.
Literature.—This work extends over the four years of
the course. The aim is to make it a means of culture—form¬
ing and directing taste in reading and gaining high ideals in
life, as well as giving discipline and knowledge. The relation
of history to the literature of each period is brought out by
lectures and chart work, Rhetoric and composition are con¬
sidered throughout the course. The first year is taken up with
selections from both American and English authors. Regular
work begins the second year with review of early English
history and the introduction into the English language of its
various elements. Chaucer's prologue to the Canterbury
Tales, with supplementary reading follows, two cantos of
Spenser's Faery Oueen are read in class; two plays of Shake-
spheare are critically studied, others read; of Bacon's essays,
three or four are studied; Milton's Comus, L' Allegro and

in this connection on (i) Chivalry as an Institution, (2)
Motive Force of Greek Chivalry, (3) Ancient Idylls and
Idyll Makers, (4) Modern Idylls, (5) Tennyson's Minor
Idylls, (6) The Arthurian Story, (7&8) Tennyson's Idylls
of the King, (9) Tennyson's Debt, (10) Tennyson's Mes¬
sage to the World. The rise of American literature follows.
Selections from Longfellow, Lowell, Whittier, Holmes and
others are read or studied, and outlines made.
All possible supplemantary reading is required. Critiques
are studied, synopsis of reading work is given, essays are
written, lives studied, quotations constantly memorized, and
poems are illustrated by original drawings or by use of selected
pictures. The work closes in Senior year with Methods of
teaching literature, given by lectures and practical work, cov¬
ering aims, means and methods.
The entire aim of the course work is to teach how best to
develop the mind of the child, also that the subject is to be
taught, rather the text-book.

Commercial Course.
Henry N. Jenkins, Instructor.
A Commercial Course, to meet the demands of the present
age, should be practical, technical, and at the same time liberal
in its character so as to be educational.
It is not enough for a Commercial School to train book¬
keepers, clerks, and assistants ; but there is a more important
need,— that of training business men for life's varied duties.
The curriculum of such a school should be of such thorough¬
ness as to prepare the students equally for the duties of Jian-
ager or proprietor as well as that of clerk or bookkeeper. Such
are our aims here.

Carpentry Course.
Lowell W. Baker, Instructor.
An eminent divine in Chicago has said: <<Probabl}''one-
half of the crime and degradation in this country is caused by
the men having no settled vocation"; and ('every young man,
no matter what his station in life, should have a trade." To
supply this growing want, manual training schools and depart¬
ments are daily forcing themselves into greater prominence.
In the carpenter's trade we have one of the cleanest, most
healthful and lucrative employments. With the increase of
population there is a constant demand for the "house to live
in'', and four-fifths of the labor used in the construction of this
house must be done by the carpenter. In consequence a good
carpenter is seldom out of employment.
We endeavor in this department to give the student a
thorough training.

Sewing Course.
A. Irene Bond, Instructor.
Sewing has become of late years so valuable an art that a
young woman's education is no longer considered complete with¬
out some knowledge of this very important branch. Because
of this fact, to the curriculum of most public and high schools
and seminaries, sewing has been added.
The course here has been planned so as to impress thor¬
oughly upon the student the value of order, accuracy in sew¬
ing, economy in cutting, the art of buying, the various kinds
and qualities of materials, and the colors, materials and trim¬
mings suited to the different types of figures. The aim of this
department is to fit young women to meet especially the in¬
creasing demand for trained teachers and also prepare them to
become practical dressmakers. Each student is required to fur¬
nish and make for herself at least one dress before graduation.
The students are requested to make their own clothing in
the department. This enables them to have more practice
than could otherwise be given. Only one-third of the value of
making the garment will be charged.
Students to graduate from this department and receive
certificate must have passed through studies equivalent to the
Third Year English Preparatory as in this catalogue.

Printing bourse.
Charles Alexander, Instructor.
There is a great lack of first-class printers in the United
States, and especially among the Negroes,—printers who have
a thorough understanding of the rudiments of the business.
Many of those who are engaged in the work do certain things
in a certain way without knowing why; they have no in¬
telligent reason to offer. They have but a superficial knowledge
of the Art Preservative. They are sadly in need of
theoretical as well as practical training in the requisites of the
art. They seem not to understand the fact that the man who
claims a practical knowledge of his business, but does not
understand the theory, has no real knowledge of it at all.
The object of this course is to fit young men to meet the
requirements of the average Country Printing office. The
course provides instruction in Job, Newspaper, and Book
printing, with special reference to bill-heads, statements, letter-
jieads, business cards, dodgers, circulars, programmes, blank-

"Cooking is the art of preparing food for the nourishment
of the human body."
Within the past few years much interest has been taken
in this particular branch of Domestic Science. The rapid and
82
ANNUAL CATALOGUE
marked Improvement in cooking utensils ; the introduction of
new fuels for cooking purposes ; valuable research along the
line of Food Economy ; the establishment by the government
of Food Experimental Stations ; and the introduction of cook¬
ing classes into public schools, girls' academies and seminaries,
and even into universities, have all helped to bring the matter
before the public; so that "Scientific Cooking" is no longer a
mere fad bm a demand of the present age.
To obtain the most nutritious food with the least expen¬
diture of time or labor; and to prepare it with the least possible
waste of food material is the problem of the present day. The
resources of our country are such as to make it possible for eve¬
ry intelligent and energetic American to be well fed at the mini¬
mum cost. The aim of this course is to put that possibility with¬
in reach of all who will avail themselves of the opportunity.

also a means by which to gain control of the muscles, while it
exercises a refining influence upon the character.

Uocal music.
George T. Simpson, Instructor.
Voice Culture is a distinct branch in the Department of
Music and holds the same rank as Instrumental Music. The
art of singing is the foundation of all true musical culture.
The study of instruments cannot cultivate the ear to that per¬
fection which is attained by the careful study of vocal music.
Every one, if possible, should learn to sing. "Song is man's
own true peculiar music."
The voice is our own peculiar connate instrument; it is the
living, sympathetic organ of our soul. Whatever moves with¬
in us, whatever sensation or emotion we feel, becomes immedi¬
ately embodied and perceptible in our voice,
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY 85
The ability to sing is like any other of the natural powers
which God has given us. The true cultivation of the voice
consists in the development of pure tone, correct use of the
breath, intonation, attack, legato, accent, phrasing and enun¬
ciation which are the leading features of technical drill.
SINGING CLASSES.
Students are graded in Vocal Music and promoted on ex¬
amination the same as 111 any other study. With proper ap¬
plication it is thus possible for all who take courses of study
to learn musical notation so as to read readily any ordinary
composition. Those completing the work of the Singing class¬
es are thoroughly prepared to begin successfully Voice Culture.
THE UNIVERSITY CHOIR.
The object of this organization is to study, and from time
to time, render in public, standard musical compositions of the
most advanced character, including the more difficult masses,
oratorios and compositions of the best German, Italian and
English writers. A Glee Club, a University Male Quartette,
a Eadies Chorus and an excellent Church Choir have been
maintained affording excellent opportunities for the develop¬
ment of those who appear in public.

SPECIAL WORK IN VOICE CULTURE.
Choral Classes composed of the First, Second and Third
Year Vocal Music, allowing one hour per week for practice
aside from their regular work. From these Choral Classes, se¬
lections are made for the University Choir, the Church Choir,
the Glee Club, the Male and Female Quartettes. Such an
arrangement greatly improves the congregational, choir, and
individual singing. Much is done to cultivate a desire for
work on the part of the students that will lead them to the
higher attainment in musical culture for which our students
as a class are naturally gifted.
Tuition for special Voice Culture is the same as that for
Instrumental Music.

millinery Course.
Minnie Battles, Instructor.
Millinery is an art which may be easily mastered, is
very fascinating, and best of all, very remunerative. Few
women realize the money which can be made and saved by
doing millinery work, and for this reason every girl should
avail herself of the opportunity to learn this very valuable
branch of Domestic Art. As no substantial structure can be
built without a good foundation, so no art can be acquired
without a knowledge of the principles governing it. These,
in milliner}^, are the mechanical part, the artistic and the fine
points; and these can be gotten only by special training. We
have tried to arrange our course, which covers a period of one
year, so as to give the student a thorough training in the
practical and artistic principles of millinery, so that they may
be fitted to do good and efficient work along this line.
