HISTORICAL STATEMENT.
C«r IN the year 1890, the Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences of
A) the Africano Methodist Episcopal Church decided that it was of the
^ utmost importance that there should be established by them a college
for all, regardless of creed or denomination? who "would like to avail them-
selves of the opportunity to p^et a good education. To this end, committees
from both Conferences were appointed to select Trustees and determine up¬
on a suitable site. In honor of one of its esteemed and venerable Bishops,
J. P. Campbell, the College was named.
ORIGINAL LOCATION.
The place selected was what was then known, as the extreme end of
South Cherry Street, Vicksburg, Miss., one mile from the center of the city,
and consists of twenty-eight and nearly an eighth acres of land. It was
.a very beautiful place indeed—high, healthy and easily reached. It was
sufficiently far from the city to be free from contaminating influences, and
commanded a delightful view of the Mississippi river, so that the mind,
weary from hard study, might find relief in beautiful scenery, and by seeing
now and then magnificent steamers plying up and down the Father of Waters.
In short, the location was one of the choicest spots nature has given to
the South.
Until 1898 the School remained at Vicksburg. During the administra¬
tion of Right Rev. W. B. Derrick, D. D., it was removed to Jackson, Miss.,
its present location.
Upon this super-structure Campbell College was built, and owes its
present usefulness.
The following articles of incorporation are the instruments by which
the school became known as an institution in law:

CAMPBELL COLLEGE
AMENDMENT OF THE CHARTER OF INCORPORATION
OF THE J. P. CAMPBELL COLLEGE.
J. P. Campbell College, a corporation with its domicile at the City of
Vicksburg, in the State of Mississippi, for educational purposes, the intention
being to educate the colored youth of the State, and recorded in the office
of the Secretary of the State, in Book of Incorporations No. 4, page 523,
December 29, 1890, pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Trustees, being
the successors of the incorporators, said resolution being duly passed and
recorded at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on February 2, 1899,
hereby makes application that section four of its charter be amended so as
to read:
Section 4. "The business and affairs of this corporation shall be
managed and conducted by a Board of Trustees, to consist of twenty (20)
in number and their election divided between the four Conferences of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Mississippi, viz., the North Mis¬
sissippi Conference, the Mississippi Conference, the Central Conference,
and the Northeast Mississippi Conference. Each of said Conferences at its
next annual meeting and every two years thereafter, shall elect five of the
twenty trustees, three of said five trustees so elected by the Conference,
shall be ministers of the gospel and two to be lay members of said church,
and said trustees shall hold their offices for the period of two years and until
their successors are elected. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees
shall be filled by appointment of remaining trustees and said appointment
shall continue until the next ensuing meeting of said Conference, in the rep¬
resentation of which the vacancy shall occur, and then such vacancy shall
be filled by election by the Conference, as in case of the election of regular
trustees. The majority of said trustees shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. Until the election of trustees as herein provided,
the persons now acting as trustees of said corporation shall continue so to act."
Sec. 5. That Section 5 of said Charter be amended so as to read:
"The officers of this corporation shall be President, Vice-President,
Secretary, and Treasurer, and such other officers as may from time to time
be deemed necessary by the Board of Trustees, and the duties and powers
of these officers shall be the same as usually appertain to and are conferred
upon officers of other corporations and other colleges operating under the
laws of the State of Mississippi. And the Treasurer shall give bond for the
faithful discharge of the duties of his office, in the manner and form to be
fixed by the Trustees."
That Section 6 of said Charter be amended so as to read:
Section 6. "The President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer
shall be elected by the Board of Trustees and from their own number and
said officers shall not, by virtue of their election to said offices, be ousted
from their positions as trustees and excluded from the performance of the
duties thereof, but shall act in both capacities. Said officers, President,
Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and such other officers as may
be appointed from time to time, shall hold office for the term of two years
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
11
and until their successors are elected, but the Board of Trustees at its first
annual meeting after the election of trustees by the respective Conferences,
as herein provided, shall elect the officers of said corporation for the ensuing
two years, the time for said election to be prescribed by the By-laws of said
corporation, but the officers now acting shall continue to act as such until
their successors are elected. The Principal and teachers of the school, to
be conducted and operated with this corporation, shall be nominated by
the President, by and with the consent of the trustees and shall hold office
for the term of one year from the time they are appointed and until their
successors are named."
That Section 7 of said Charter be amended to read:
Section 7. "The domicile shall be in the City of Jackson, Hinds
County, Mississippi, but it shall have the power to select any appropriate
town in the State at which to establish its College, or may move the College
now established to any appropriate town or city in the State and shall have
power to purchase or acquire the necessary ground, not to exceed fifty acres,
on which to locate said College when so established or removed."
The foregoing proposed amendment to the Charter of Incorporation
of the J. P. Campbell College, is respectfully referred to the Honorable Attor¬
ney General for his advice as to the constitutionality and legality of the same.

THE PRESENT LOCATION.
AMPBELL COLLEGE is now located at Jackson, on the Pearl
river—the capital of the State of Mississippi—just beyond the
city limit. While the school enjoys the advantages a large city
gives, yet it is far enough out to make it free from the immoral
taint of much of the life of a large city.
It is in the heart of the state's population and is the best school locality
in Mississippi. The ground is high, slightly rolling. The climate is good,
and unsurpassed for healthfulness. The advantages offered by Campbell
College to young men and women who desire to fit themselves for the in¬
dustrial and professional life of the world are the best in the history of the
school.
Jackson is the distributing point for Mississippi, the railroad center
of the state. Here Campbell College can be easily reached by railroad
almost every hour in the day, and is in telegraphic and telephone connection
with all parts of the country. Here the student has an opportunity to
visit the various church societies, the courts, the State institutions, and the
law-making bodies while in session.
THE PROPERTY OF THE COLLEGE.
The buildings and other property of the College are &s follows:
The Ellen Tyree Hall, a four-story brick structure, is equipped
with a modern heating plant and a laundry; contains the girls' dormitory,
the sewing and musical departments, kitchen, general dining hall and the
President's apartments.
Salter Hall is a building of the same proportion and equipment as
that of the girls' dormitory; contains the chapel, recitation rooms and boys'
dormitory.
These buildings were erected respectively in 1903 and 1906, and are in
perfect sanitary condition. These buildings were erected at a cost of about
$28,000.00.
The corporation owns one thousand acres of the finest land in the Mis¬
sissippi Delta, a portion of which land is under cultivation. There are a
number of small farm houses and other improvements on this land. When
this property shall have been put in suitable farming condition it will yield
a revenue sufficient to give the school a permanent endowment.
THE NEEDS OF CAMPBELL COLLEGE.
At present Campbell College needs permanent endowment to do the
work contemplated by its promoters; twenty acres of land is needed for an
industrial farm at or near the present College site; the school is in need of
sufficient endowment to establish chairs of professorship and scholarships.
The present dormitory accommodation is far too small to meet the
demands of the institution. While no students have been turned away
for the want of accommodation, yet in the dormitories the students were
so crowded together during the past year that the health and sanitary con-
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
15
dition of the institution were threatened to be undermined.
The management of Campbell College will consider any and all propo¬
sitions which will relieve this condition. Twenty thousand dollars will
build a much needed Administration Hall, where all of the literary work
can be done successfully. Music, sewing, the library, the general literary
and theological work as well as the Bible school require separate apartments
to insure the best results.
Twenty-five hundred dollars will build a model home for girls, where
that branch of science which affects the home life may be taught—that
branch which so deeply is interwoven in our American life and civilization.
Fifteen hundred dollars will build a president's home, which is so much
needed.
Any and all bequests, donations and gifts will be carefully considered
and will meet with prompt action.
THE INCOME OF CAMPBELL COLLEGE.
The sources of revenue for Campbell College are limited to a monthly
tuition, which barely pays the expenses of the students; an annual assessment
from each minister of the A. M. E. Church, which amounts to about $1,800;
and public collections from the people at large. To these sources the school
is indebted for its existence, as well as for its maintenance. Every cent of
the money used in running this institution comes from the hard earnings
of a poor, earnest and honest people, and this is the appeal offered to those
of a liberal mind, "Come over and help us."
The School needs endowment for prizes to inspire scholarship; endow¬
ment for industrial work; endowment for a Bible Training School; endow¬
ment for scholarships; endowment for salaries and general expenses; endow¬
ment for material and equipage to be used in the girls' department for sewing,
cooking and nursing.
This plea is made for the industrial, mental and spiritual salvation
of the Negro. Gifts or legacies can be made to this institution under its
corporate name, J. P. Campbell College, Jackson, Miss.
THE WORK IN CAMPBELL COLLEGE.
The advantages of Campbell College are offered to all persons of both
sexes, without regard to sectarian affiliation, and in the broadest possible
sense, race or nationality. The institution aims to give the students a
thorough education—preparatory, normal, collegiate, theological and in¬
dustrial—together with such instruction in the art of expression, music,
industry, business, and all those prerequisites which will contribute to their
efficiency in the home, the state and the nation.
The management of Campbell College purposes as far as possible to se-
sure the best and highest development in social and personal character,
and to accomplish this end it is using every available means to bring together
students—both boys and girls—from all sections of the state and country
16
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
under the college discipline. While the boys and girls occupy separate
buildings, and seem to move in different spheres, yet they constitute but
one family, and one social neighborhood. They are brought in contact
with each other in recitation, in their public socials, and in all religious,
exercises; but in every instance they are under the constant watch and care
of the teachers who take pride in this service which they render.
Campbell College is a Christian institution of learning. Its sole object
is the development of the Christian character, Christian citizenship and
patriotism. In this it is not sectarian—its doors are open to all who are in.
search of a liberal education. It is the aim of the management to make
the institution an intellectual home for those who attend, so that parents and
guardians will have no uneasiness as to the care of their children, but may-
rest assured that at all times the rules of the best conduct will be strictly-
enforced and observed.
MEMBERSHIP AND CONDITIONS.
Persons making application for membership in Campbell College must
furnish satisfactory testimonials of good moral character, and an evidence
of preparation to pursue the studies in the department they may desire to>
enter. Applicants from other schools in the interval between the opening:
and closing of such schools, must in all cases bring certificates of honorable
dismission from said school.
The Faculty reserves the right to exercise control over all resident
students, but is not responsible for non-resident students, only in so far as.
they are in actual attendance upon the daily college work on the grounds
of the school.
Application should be made for admission and room one month before
school opens, but no room will be reserved beyond a reasonable time for-
the coming in of a student after the school opens. Students should be
present on the first day the school opens, and remain until the last dajr
of its closing exercises; sometimes the delay of a few days will hinder and
hamper a student during the entire year.
Students from a distance should arrange their journey so that they"
■will not arrive on Sunday, the Lord's day, which should be honored and
respected as a day of rest. As the College aims to be thoroughly Christian
it purposes to practice those Christian virtues which it teaches. Students,
are advised to come directly to the college after reaching the city before
making arrangement for the delivery of trunks. Bring your checks -with
you and deposit them with the President, who will arrange for the deli very"
of all baggage.
Students in regular classes or grades must spend at least six months;
in that class or grade, and pass satisfactory all technical examinations be¬
fore being allowed to pass from that class or grade to the next higher class
or grade. One month's absence from any class or grade, if the student is.
regular, causes the student to lose membership in that class or grade- but
absence without leave, forfeits the student's right to membership in the.
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
17
institution. Students who have no fixed purpose and who do not regard
the improvement of their minds for larger usefulness and who have no desire
to fit themselves for the emergencies of life, are not received as applicants,
and the presence of such students -will not be tolerated.
The Bible is the central text-book in Campbell College, because in it
is contained the central thought; therefore each student should bring a Bible.
The Bible is needed for private meditation and thought, as well as for the
Sunday School, the church service, and the regular class-room work. '
On account of health and economy, young women and girls are required
to wear plain hats with bands, but no other trimming; navy blue serge
suits with plain white shirtwaists, and dark underskirts; plain white Indian-
head linen suits may be worn in season, during the spring and fall terms.
These suits need not exceed 10 to 15 cents per yard in cost. There is to be
no aim at display, but a neat and simple college dress will be worn which
will at once place all the students on an equal plane in respect to attire.
The high heel or fancy shoes will not be allowed in the school. Students
who contemplate matriculating will purchase flat heel shoes, or have the high
heels taken off. High heel shoes are unhealthy, unnatural and dangerous.
Rubber taps on shoe heels aid in walking properly.
EXPENSES.
The expenses of a student in Campbell College are reduced to the min¬
imum cost of living. The following are the general expenses:
Incidental fee, per year, and payable by each boarding student
when entering $1 00
A medical fee, per year (for which in return the student receives,
when necessary, vaccination, medicine and for slight troubles
such treatment as the ailment requires, but this does not in¬
clude physician's visits, nor payment for prescriptions).... 50
Board, including furnished room, fuel and lights, per month 6 50
Tuition, in the grades, per month 1 00
Tuition in all departments above the grades, per month 1 50
Laundry, per month 1 00
Sewing, per month 50
Music, per month, two lessons per week 2 00
Use of instrument, per term 1 00
Room rent to non-boarders, per month 2 00
A school month is four weeks, dating from the day school opens, or the
date on which a student enters. These dates will guide parents in sending
money to the school to pay their children's expenses. All bills must be paid
in advance. Students will not be permitted to enter classes before their
bills are paid, at least one month in advance. No reduction in tuition will
be allowed for absence, only in case of sickness, except for the time a student
may be absent for more than two weeks. Students need but little money
beyond what is necessary to pay their monthly expenses and to purchase
books and stationery, and for such purposes only should parents supply
18
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
money except when notified by the President.
The habit of the students receiving boxes of food and other perishable
articles, during the Christmas season, produces much unnecessary worry
and anxiety, and tends to inconvenience and demoralize the management.
We discourage such gifts; they are expensive and unnecessary.
Each student who expects to board in the dormitory must bring two
quilts, or a blanket and a quilt, two pillow slips, and towels for ^his own use.
Two students will occupy one room, which is supplied with a double
bed and suitable furniture.
All text-books may be purchased at the College at cost, and will be the
same as those used all over the state.
Old bills must be paid before entering the school for another year. This
is important, both to parents and students. If for any reason a student's
account has not been settled at the close of the school term, he is barred
from the privilege of again entering until such account has been satisfactorily
arranged.
All remittance in payment of bills should be made by money-order,
drafts, express or post-office money orders, registered letter or checks on
reliable banks. Students will be receipted for all money advanced in payment
of their bills.
RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The students, both residential and non-residential, are taught self-
respect as well as self-control, and as far as possible appeal is made to their
own moral sense, their own sense of equity, propriety and honor. Upon
entering the school, the students pledge themselves to obey all the rules
and regulations of the institution. In keeping with the aim of the school
to promote good scholarship and Christian character, the following rules
have been adopted for the accomplishing of that end:
Students are not allowed to use intoxicating liquors, nor tobacco in
any form; profane language, playing cards and games of chance, and every¬
thing of an immoral nature is discouraged ard forbidden; the use of fire¬
arms is not allowed by students under any circumstances.
Cleanliness of rooms and body, obedience to law and order, and a faithful
performance of any and all duties are required of each one. The students
will be held responsible for all breakages or damage in any form or shape to
the property of the institution, and the payment of such bills takes precedence
over any other bills.
Regular attendance uno" all recitations, public services, both during the
week and on the Sabbath required and is an item in summing up a student's
record.
Students are required to attend the following services: Church service
and Sunday school on the Sabbath; morning prayers at the chapel; daily
prayer at the boarding hall; class and general prayer meeting; and the other
Christian services held from time to time throughout the school year.
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
19
Whenever the faculty shall find a student that is not fulfilling the pur¬
pose for which he entered the College, or that he is disobedient or disorderly,
so as to prove himself an unworthy member of the institution, such student
shall be dismissed.
Any student who wilfully resists the order of the President or Faculty
shall be suspended or expelled.
Rooms must be accessible at all times to members of the Faculty.
Students are not permitted to invite guests to their rooms, or to any
part of the College premises without permission.
No rooms will be reserved unless paid for in advance.
Any student entering into a conspiracy to defeat the proper ends of the
school or authorities, shall be immediately dismissed.
Letters of inquiry touching any part of the school life of Campbell College
will be gladly received and promptly answered.

This course includes the study of the Bible in the original Hebrew and
Greek Tongues. Graduates from this course possessing the adequate literary
qualifications receive the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. The course of

II. THE ENGLISH COURSE.
This course of study is the same as the first except in one respect-
it omits the study of the original tongues of the Bible. It is designed for
those who, for want of time or of taste in this direction do not wish to pursue
the study of the Bible in the Hebrew and Greek languages. Those who
•complete this course receive a diploma.
III. THE BIBLE TRAINING COURSE.
This course has been arranged with special reference to the needs of
those who have not had the advantage of school in early life. There are
■also many ministers who have been preaching for some years who feel their
need of a better knowledge of the Bible. There are many others who prefer
& more full and exact knowledge of the Bible to much that is included in other
■courses. To all these the Bible Training Course will prove a great blessing.
Nothing will so fit them for their work as a thorough study of the English
Bible.
THEOLOGICAL AND BIBLE TRAINING COURSE
The aim of this combined course is to aid the Christian Ministers of
today to do better the work God has given them, and to teach them how to
grapple with the new foe of this new century, and to cope with the progress
of the age in which we live and in obedience to the Apostolic injunction to
be ready at all times to give answer to every man that asketh him a reason
for the hope that is in him. This department is open to ministers of all
denominations.
Candidates for a degree or a diploma must be graduates of some col¬
lege of recognized standing, or must satisfy the Faculty by college testimo¬
nials, or by standing and successfully passing an examination to show that
their education equals that of a college graduate. All degrees conferred
from any of these departments will be for merit based on scholarship.
The Bible training department is open to ministers of the gospel of all
•denominations, candidates for the ministry, Sunday and public school teach¬
ers and Christian lay workers. On complying with the rules of registration,
the student will receive a certificate of graduation on completing this course.
The Bible Training School will be modeled and conducted after the
John C. Martin Bible Course now in vogue in many of the schools of the coun¬
try, with the Bible as a regular text book, from which daily recitations are
to be made throughout the school for the entire year.
The first year, the students in the Theological department and all can¬
didates for the ministry as well as the students in the regular Bible course,
will study the Law as it relates to practical human life as it is taught in the
Pentateuch. The second year class reviews the Historical books empha¬
sizing the life of the leading characters and the judicial, political, and eccle¬
siastical life of Israel from the time of the Judges to the fall of the kingdom
of Judah. The third year, first term, the students will review the Prophetic
history of Israel and Judah, emphasizing the prophecies of Isaiah as to their
Messianic value, and the prophecy of Amos emphasizing the falling of the
kingdom of Israel, and the underlying causes. The second term will be
devoted to the Gospel books, the Acts and Epistles, emphasizing the life of
Christ and His Apostles.
To accomplish the ends herein set forth, the Faculty deems six things
necessary, and these they will encourage, viz. : Cleanliness, good ventilation,
plenty of light, a high moral sense, good order or discipline, and a deference
for God's Word.
All the courses are three years, except the regular college course, which
is completed after four years in the regular collegiate department.
THE BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL
NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS' CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
This is a distinct Department which opens and closes with the school
term of Campbell College.
A Theological Education is the best investment a Minister of the Gospel
can make. This applies to me.
Every Sunday and Public School Teacher and Christian Lay-Worker
of all denominations ought to take a course in Bible Training, in order to do
better the work of their profession.
TUITION.
Tuition for non-resident students, Fifty Cents (50c) per month in ad¬
vance. This small fee does not cover the expenses incurred, but it supple¬
ments another Fund and therefore enables us to carry on the work.
This course is offered to Ministers in good and regular standing of all
evangelical denominations upon the same condition as that offered to students
of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
EXPENSES.
The item of expenses can not be accurately determined, because the
value of an education and the means of acquiring it are incalculable. We
can only hope to approximate.
The fact that this is a correspondence course implies expenses which
ust be borne by the student or the school furnishing the course—Every
effort, however, is made to bring the cost within the reach of all classes of
our student-body. The school furnishes all the instruction free; the student
has but to ask for it. He pays for the correspondence and the clerk hire,
stamps and stationery.
In addition to the monthly tuition of 50 cents the student is required
to forward, with each lesson returned to the school, postage or a self-addressed
stamped envelope for the return of his lesson.
The Curriculum for the Three Years' Course:
FIRST YEAR.
Pre-re quisites for Taking the Course.
1. English Grammar and Rhetoric.
2. Mastery of the Outline Study of the English Bible.
3. Outlines of Christian Theology.
4. Church History.
5. Pastoral Care.
SECOND YEAR.
1. The Law and the Gospel.
2. Systematic Theology.
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
25
3. Church History.
4. Sermon Building.
5. Logic.
THIRD YEAR.
1. Life of Christ and His Apostles.
2. Systematic Theology.
3. Church History.
4. Psychology.
Collateral Studies.
1. Discipline A. M. E. Church.
2. Church Polity.
3. History of the Bible.
4. Pastoral Theology.
The text books used in this course are intended, as far as practicable,
to be the same as those used in the School of Theology of Campbell College.
THE OBJECT OF THIS COURSE.
First.—Is to place the essentials of a Theological education in the reach
of Ministers of the Gospel, whose environments prevent them from attend¬
ing a regular Theological School. Strictly speaking, it is intended to meet
an emergency, but was never intended to take the place of the regular Theo¬
logical Seminary where the student is brought in touch with the living teach¬
er and the living voice.
Second.—To popularize the Bible and to make its truth familiar to
Ministers of the Gospel, who are not able to attend a regular Theological
Seminary, is the prime object of this course.
It must be kept in mind that this is a Correspondence Course covering
a period of three years. Hence, a student, who, for any cause, does not
report either by letter or lesson within a period of ninety days after begin¬
ning the course, forfeits his right to continue in return for fees previously paid
The Correspondence Course is sufficiently elastic to admit and enroll
among its student-body superintendents, Sunday and public school teachers,
and Christian lay-workers who desire to take a special Bible course. The
conditions are the same for this class of students as for those taking the
Theological Course.
This is a Correspondence Course, and not a regular Theological School.
But, if for any cause, a student is not able to attend the Seminary during
the full time required before graduation, this course so prepares him that
he can graduate from the regular Theological Department after studying
in it one year, and passing a satisfactory examination, when he shall have
completed the Correspondence or Non-resident Course.
26
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
The regular Theological curriculum is here set forth so that persons
wishing to enter this department and taking advantages here offered, may
be properly informed as to the work to be done.
AN OUTLINE OF THE REGULAR THEOLOGICAL CURRICULUM-
Junior Year.
Historical Theology—English Bible, Bible History, Sacred Geography,
Expository Lectures.
Exegetical Theology—Old Testament and New Testament, using the Hebrew
and Greek text.
Systematic Theology—Outlines of Christian Theology, using Raymond
and the Bible as basical text books; Sacred Rhetoric; Elocution, and
the Homiletical value of Paul's discourses.
Middle Year.
Church History (New Testament, Greek and Hebrew), Systematic Theology
and Homiletics.
Senior Year.
Church History, History of Doctrine, Archaeology, Apologetics, Ethics and
Ecclesiastical law.
Students who are not prepared to take the full Theological Course on
account of a want of preparation in their literary work, will be allowed to
make up this deficiency by taking work with the regular classes in Campbell
College.
THE EQUIPMENT.
This Course is to be enlarged, and "with the proper encouragement ample
provisions will be made for the extension and spread of Ministerial education
among all classes of our preachers everywhere.
Students may take up this course at any time. Yet, we advise, that
for their own convenience, they enter at the beginning of the school year.
We recommend that our students thoroughly prepare themselves in the
primary branches, such as spelling, reading, writing, grammar, and arith¬
metic, before attempting to take upon themselves the heavy burden of a
Theological Course. Right speaking is essential to right thinking. Spelling,
reading, and writing are stepping stones to the higher branches of English
Composition, Rhetoric, Logic, and Psychology. These are the superstructure
of a complete Theological Course.
This course is given under the auspices of the management of Campbell
College, which devotes one hour each day to the study of the English Bible
for all the students in the collegiate, academic, scientific, normal and grade
courses. No student will be allowed to graduate from any department of
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
27
'Campbell College until he or she has studied and passed a satisfactory exam¬
ination upon the Bible, as one of the text books, belonging to the curriculum
of Campbell College. Upon the Bible the emphasis of this whole movement
must forever rest.
SCHOOL TERM.
The Correspondence Course will be conducted by mail from September
to June, each year.
During the summer Institutes will be held at places throughout the
State of Mississippi, convenient to all the students in the State in order that
•once a year for a few days our Correspondence students may have the presence
of the living teacher and receive personal instruction.
The Summer Institutes will be under the direction of a Faculty made
up from the Faculty of Campbell College and the Theological Department.
By the aid of these experienced teachers, and other advantages offered by
the Correspondence Course, the Minister of small opportunities will have at
his door a Theological School on wTheels.
TEXT BOOKS.
The text-books used in this Course will be modern and up-to-date,
such as are used in the leading Theological Schools of our day, as well as
those emphasizing Wesleyan Theology. The purpose of this Department
is to emphasize and insist upon evangelical Christianity. The text books
will, however, be changed from time to time, as the efficiency of the course
requires.
The student can order his text books direct from the publishers: Ray¬
mond's Theology, Hurst's Church History, and Broadus's Homiletics, can
be purchased from the Methodist Book Concern, 150 Fifth Avenue, New
York City; Methodist Polity and A. M. E. Discipline can be purchased at
>631 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
A RARE ADVANTAGE.
The Students' Bible Course, by the John C. Martin Educational Fund,
Is an indispensable guide to the study and elucidation of the Bible and Bible
truths. Price, $1.00.
This book can be purchased at Campbell College. For those who desire
to make a special study of the Bible this book is indispensable. Order at
once by mail.
PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE COURSE.
The primary and final purpose for which this Course is established is
to study the Bible, to magnify its importance, and to make its truths popular
82
CAMPBELL COLLEGE
and familiar among Christian workers. Hence, as religion takes the primacy
in all education, and as the Bible is the sacred book of our holy religion,
the further purpose, therefore, of this Course is to pledge our faith and loyalty
in the Divine teachings of the Bible.

are thoroughly studied, and all rules intelligently applied. Special attention
is given to the language used by the pupils in recitations. They are trained
to detect their errors of speech and to correct them.
The object of nature-study in this grade is to develop the power of"
quick and accurate observation, of exact description; to impart a knowledge
a.nd a love of nature; to lead the pupil to become a keen, accurate and sym¬
pathetic observer of the world about him. In studying plant and animal
life drawings on board and paper of the different stages of growth and de¬
velopment of objects under consideration are made by the pupil. Written
descriptions of these observations with appropriate illustrations are also-

Class devoting itself more or less to advanced work will be formed each year.
This particular character of the work will be done in what shall hereafter be
known as the Musical Society of Campbell College.
The plan is to adapt instruction to the personal needs of each student.
From this it is obvious that the details of the course cannot be specified;
the purpose in each case being the development of a musical touch and a
refined and intelligent style of playing. Thus the course is intended to get
control of the muscles of the fingers, hands and arms, making them responsive
to the commands of the will.
The training and cultivating of the voice will be a prevailing feature
in this course. There are ten grades in this department.
DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Training in the industries will receive attention in Campbell College.
The management of the Institution consider industrial training indispensable..
This branch of training strengthens the power of observation, cultivates
accuracy and skill, secures the formation of habits of industry and usefulness,
prepares for the home life, and is valuable in the development of mind and
heart. It is made a part of the prescribed course of study and is therefore
required of pupils in addition to their distinctively literary work.
