O O 'VJER.NMJENT.
The government is inflexibly strict in excluding all practice tending to immorality,
and in exacting a uniform regard for good order, studious habits, and the prescribed
routine op duty. Every student, but particularly such as are of immature years,
receives the individual and prayerful watch-care of the members of the faculty.
Wholesome regulations are instituted, designed to promote the prosperity and
happiness of the students, which will commend themselves to every well dis¬
posed mind, and receive the cordial support pf every lady and gentleman. A
disposition to evade just and salutary rules, will meet with special disapprobation.
In the work of instruction, as well as of discipline, our aim is to inspire and
increase 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 ex¬
hibit of his habits in regard to regularity and punctuality, as well as to the merit
and demerit of his recitations each day, in his several studies. A monthly report
is sent to the parents or guardian of each student.
REQUIREMENTS.
1. Proper observance of the Sabbath—attendance at church and Sabbath-
school.
2. Bathing and all preparations for the Sabbath must be faithfully attended
to on Saturday evening.
3. Punctual attendance at prayers, recitations and exercises.
4. Strict observance of the appointed study hours.
5. Every student will be held responsible for all improper conduct occur-
ing in his room, and particularly accountable for all injury beyond ordinary use.
6. Every room must be accessible at all times to the members of the faculty.
7. Students must keep their rooms in good order, and leave them clean at
the.end of the term.
8. Students must rise in the morning at the ringing of the first bell, cleanse
and set their room in order for the day, before study hours commence.
PROHIBITIONS.
1. The association with the opposite sex without permission.
2. The use of intoxicating drinks, tobacco, fire-arms, or other deadly
weapons ; games of chance, profanity and obscenity.
3. The use or possession of any immoral books or papers.
22
4. Visiting each other's rooms during study hours.
5. Absence from premises, or visiting families without permission.
6. All improper conduct.
7. Cutting, marking, or in any way defacing the buildings or their appur¬
tenances.
8. Visiting the kitchen without permission.
9. Throwing water, trash, litter, or anything offensive, from the windows.
All unexcused delinquencies are registered, and when the number amounts
to five or any number more than five, and less than ten, notice thereof is to be
given to the student and to his parents or guardian. When the number of unex¬
cused delinquencies amounts to ten, the student ceases to be a member of the
University. Any student who marries while pursuing studies at the University
ceases to be a member of the same.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Wilberforce is three and a quarter miles north-east of Xenia, which is on the
Little Miami R. R., sixty-five miles from Cincinnati, and fifty-five miles from
Columbus; hence it has direct communication with all parts of the United States.
Wilberforce Station, at which accommodation trains stop, is within fifteen min¬
utes walk of the University. The mineral Springs and other natural surround¬
ings, afford at the same time a most beautiful and healthful location.
RELIGIOUS INFORMATION.
At 7:45 a. m., all the students assemble in the chapel for devotional exer¬
cises, which consist in reading a portion of the Scriptures, singing a hymn, and
prayer.
No repulsive sectarianism will be indulged. While such a disposition will
be discountenanced, there will be assidous efforts 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 proportional to
its morals and religious tone.
FURNITURE, ETC.
Each room is furnished with a bedstead, mattress, two pillows, table and
two chairs. The main building is now heated by steam and live I tidies' Hall by
WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY.
23
hot water. The incidental fees now include the cost of heating. Bath rooms have
been arranged on every dormitory floor, and a laundry room for young men will
prove a convenience and an economy.
Students should bring their own bedclothing, towels, etc.,^with name
marked in full.

all moneys for such purposes be sent to the Secretary of the University, direct,
two weeks before the beginning of each term.
Board must be paid in advance, weekly or monthly, by the term or year, as
desired.
N. B.—Washing, light, books, etc., vary too much to make any estimate.
MAILS, TELEGRAMS, TELEPHONE, ETC.
All mail and other matter intended for students or professors, should be
marked Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio.
A Telephone in the University secures the immediate transmission of all
telegrams. Students and other persons, on reaching Xenia, will reduce expense
by proceeding to the Depot Telephone, calling up Wilberforce, and ordering con¬
veyance from the College.
For further information, address S. T. Mitchell, President, or J. P. Max
well, Secretary.
Every person applying for admission must bring testimonials of good moral
character.
24 ' ANNUAL CATALOGUE,
Divinity students must come to us fully endorsed by the church authorities
as possessing gifts, graces and fruits ; otherwise they will not be permitted to
enter the Theological Department.
No student from abroad under fourteen years of age will be admitted as a
member of the institution except by special arrangement. For all such pupils,
application in writing should be made to the President, previous to coming to
Wilberforce.
k Whenever it is desired that students board in families, their parents and
guardians must consult the faculty before selecting their boarding places.
Students from other schools must present certificates of honorable dismission
from the proper authorities.
For admission to advance standing, candidates will be thoroughly examined
in the studies of the previous year, or their equivalents.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the close of each term the classes are examined in the studies of the term.
Important examinations are held at various times throughout the term. Both
oral and written examinations are held at the end of the year.
No student will be permitted to continue with his class unless his records
during the term and at the examinations show good scholarship, and reach the
average required by the faculty.
LIBRARY.
Our library contains about 5°°° volumes, many of which are valuable to
both professors and students; but we need additional works of a philosophic and
scientific character, as books of reference for the use of professors and students.
Contributions of such works as will increase the size and value of the library,
are solicited from our friends. Acknowledgments are hereby made to Senator
John Sherman, Hon. R. E. Doan and Smithsonian Institution and others for
valuable donations.
MUSEUM.
Museum Hall was fitted up in 1879 for the reception of a Museum valued at
$2000. The Museum contains collections in Botany, Mineralogy, Paleontology,
Lithology and Zoology. These selections have been made with special reference
to working value and usefulness. They thus are at once adapted to meet the
long felt need of affording students an opportunity for their scientific study,
which can only be pursued successfully with suitable specimens.
We solicit from all our friends such specimens as will add to the interest and
value of our collections. We acknowledge the contributions of Mr. Robert Barr,
an undergraduate at the instance of Rev. Horace Talbert, of Buffalo, N. Y.
The Art Room contains plaster moulds of statuary to the value of $200, the
gift of the late Rev. J. F. Ware, of Boston. We desire to enlarge these col¬
lections, and will gratefully acknowledge all gifts.

GIFTS AND BEQUESTS.
Among the generous benefactors of the University we would mention Chief-
Justice Chase, who left $10,000; Mr. John Pfaff, Cincinnati, O., $1000; the
Trustees of the Avery Fund, Pittsburg, Pa., $10,000; Dr. Rust, of Cincinnati, and
Miss Ella M. Graves and mother, N. Y.Bishop J. P. Campbell, Philadelphia,
$1,000; Bishop J. A. Shorter, $1,000, Mrs. Bishop Shorter, $1,000; Mrs. Mary
E. Monroe, Cleveland, O., $1,000; Miss Jane Vorhees, Hamilton, O., $500;
Wm. Thaw, Pittsburg, Pa., $200; Mrs. Teagle, West Chester, Pa., one-fourth
interest in property, valued at $30,000; Rev. E. N. Yelland, LL. D., 1,250acres
of land in Eastern Kentucky, with others whose names will ever be held in
grateful remembrance.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The late Mr. A. I. Powers, of Potsdam, N. Y., established an Endowment
Fund for Two Scholarships; the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church main¬
tains others, and Mrs. Mary E. Monroe is endowing by annual contributions the
Monroe Scholarships. The bequest of Mrs. Elizabeth T. Woodyear creates the
Tillotson Scholarship. A number of noble Christian Women whose names we
would gladly mention, if at liberty, make it possible for young men and women
whom they have selected, to qualify for efficient service.
Sabbath Schools in Pittsburg, Buffalo and Wilberforce have organized
scholarships and sent students. Their plan is most commendable and auspicious.
AIMS.
The University aims to provide for students a liberal education, to give them
the training necessary to fit them for teaching others, or fill with credit any
position for which the various departments design them.
NEEDS.
Many of the students need a helping hand to enable them to pursue their
course. Great good would be accomplished in this direction by contributions.
While the institution, through its officers, will do all in its power to secure aid
in the form of labor for all 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 etudents. Will not our friends aid us in helping the
needy and deserving ones.
We are in need of apparatus for the Department of Natural Philosophy and
Applied Mathematics ; and especially need funds for the improvement of build¬
ings and grounds.
It is believed that no better investment can be made than to devote funds
to the purposes mentioned.
READING ROOMS.
Two Reading Rooms were established in 1878 for ladies and gentlemen,
respectively. Quite a number of publications are to be found on the files ; and,
26
ANNUAL CATALOGUE,
as means increase, it is our desire to supply them with all the leading newspapers,
magazines and reviews. The Y. M. C. A., and Y. \V. C. A., maintain active
organizations and pleasant reading rooms.
LABORATORY.
The laboratory has been recently enlarged, and is a valuable auxiliary to the
study of the Sciences. It has received important additions from Bishop B. W.
Arnett.
SOCIETIES.
There are maintained by the students four literary societies—the Sodalian,
the Philomathean, the Payne and the Dodds ; a Y. M. C. A., a Y. W. C. A ; a
Missionary Society, the Harmonic Association, an Athletic Association and the
Wilberforce Brass Band,

COMBINED NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
Through the noble generosity of the State of Ohio, the Combined Normal
and Industrial Department at Wilberforce was established in 1887. It is under
the control of a special Board of Trustees, selected by the Governor and the
University Board. According to the law under which it is organized, every mem¬
ber of the Legislature is entitled to select a youth from his district, who may re¬
ceive the benefits of this department free of tuition. The immediate effect of
this Act will be to increase the efficiency of the normal instruction now given,
and inaugurate a line of technical training. It is earnestly hoped that around this
new education'—the industrial—will cluster substantial sympathy and co-operation.
State students are required not to absent themselves at any time during tjie
school year for more than eight consecutive weeks, on pain of forfeiting their
certificates.
Certificates are valid for the entire course for which they are given, but
they should be renewed annually by all desirous of retaining them.
State students will take both normal and industrial work.
Industrial drawing is an inseparable part of the course of carpentry as
therein specified. Students who select industrial work must continue a full term
at least.
A diploma is awarded to those who complete the Normal Course, and a
certificate to those who complete an Industrial Course.

LADIES NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL HALL.
The Ladies Normal and Industrial Hall corresponds with the illustration
shown above. It is five stories high, including mansard story and basement,
and furnishes dormitory accommodations for eighty young ladies. On the first
floor are the Normal, Music, Reception, Library and Industrial rooms. The di¬
mensions are 120x42 feet; foundation of blue limestone; superstructure of
brick with slate roof. The Hall is provided with all modern conveniences, and
its completion marks an epoch in the educational facilities at this Institution.
In November last University Hall was given up entirely to young men, the
young women transferring to their pleasant apartments in Normal Hall. They
are furnished with spring bedsteads, mattresses, pillows, dressers, wash stands,
chairs and tables. Heated by hot water, supplied with bath rooms, laundry,
kitchen and dining rooms; pure spring water brought to every floor by an
hydraulic ram, and cold and warm soft water for all purposes. Fire escapes will
be provided by the next session.
To the philanthropy of the State of Ohio is due the progress made in this
direction. The liberal appropriation of the 69th General Assembly of $16,000
prepared the Ladies' Hall for occupancy in the fall term of '91. An equally
generous appropriation of $16,000 by the 70th General Assembly meets every
outstanding obligation and completes the work as heretofore designed. No lan¬
guage can measure the service rendered to the cause of education by those noble
bodies of Legislators. Our present capacity hss been taxed to overflow, to ac¬
commodate the largest attendance of students ever registered. Hundreds have
applied for catalogues and special information, relative to beginning a course of
study next season. They represent nearly every State in the Union, Canada,
West Indies, Bermudas, South America and Africa. God's providence points to
the fields. Will friends strengthen the cause.
