HISTORY.
In the year 1880, the ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church in the State of Georgia, realizing the necessity of an institution that
would educate and prepare young men for the ministry, and young women
for Christian work, and also of an Industrial Training School for both sexes)
determined upon the building of Morris Brown College
In February, 1881, the beautiful site, overlooking the city of Atlanta,
was purchased at a cost of $3,500, which amount has been paid in full and
title deeds duly recorded.
In 1884, the foundation of the east wing of the college was laid, the
same being completed and dedicated on the 24th day of November, 1885, at
a cost of $9,000, making $12,500 expended in the purchasing of the grounds
and building the east wing. After an earnest effort means were provided
for furnishing the building with the necessary school furniture, at a cost
of $600.
October 15, 1885, the doors of Morris Brown College were opened,
and 107 pupils entered its portals. To complete the college will require
$30,000. To raise this large sum of money by our own efforts, every honest
means and reasonable sacrifice must he made.
In the summer of 1891, the foundation of the south wing of the college
was laid, and thereon has been erected another beautiful building of the
same size as the other. Thus we are enabled to accommodate a large num¬
ber of the pupils who have been yearly turned away for want of room.
We are still in need of larger accommodations for the steadily increas¬
ing number of patrons of the school and desire the co-operation and assist¬
ance of our friends.

Brent lines of street railway leading from the center of the city. One elec-
ric street car line runs by the College on the Boulevard.

cter, and must pledge themselves to abstain from the use of all intoxicat-
ng drinks and tobacco in every form while a member of the school. Pu-
>ils from other schools must present certificates of honorable dismissal'
aid in order to enter advanced classes must pass an examination on the
vork gone over by the class.
Pupils should enter the first day of the school year in order to prevent
,oss of time in being classified.
Classes.
Classes are formed at the beginning of the term, at which time all per¬
sons desirous of entering should endeavor to be present.
Examinations.
Written examinations are required in all the courses at the close of each
month and term. At the end of the spring term oral examinations wil
be conducted.

uation, is required to prepare and present to the President, by the first
Monday in May, a thesis on some topic related to his course.

ry examinations. A fee of five dollars is charged for diplomas and three
dollars for certificates.

Morris Brown College.
Expenses.
The following is a summary of the principal necessary expenses of a stu¬
dent. The Boarding Department is regularly established. Students from
abroad are required to board in the College building unless excused by
the President:
Board (including furnished room, fuel and light) per month $5 75
Washing 1 00
Tuition fee 1 00
Music (instrumental) 1 50
All College bills are due and must be paid in advance on the first of each
month.
Each student will be required to do an hour's manual labor each day.
This helps to reduce the expenses of board to the above price.
Parents and guardians are advised to deposit with the President the
amount of money needed to meet the regular expenses of a student tor
tuition, board aL,d books.
Day Pupils.
Day pupils are strictly forbidden, under penalty of exclusion from the
College to receive or deliver mail or communications, or to perform an
errand for boarding pupils without permission of the President.
For day pupils the charges are fifty cents par month for the First and
Second grades; one dollar per month for all other grades.
Societies.
In connection with the school there are five societies. The Wesley J.
Gaines and Delta Literary Society and the Y. M. C. A., for young men; the
Florida Grant Literary Society and the Y. W. C. T, U., for young women.
These organizations are great factors for the further development of the
latent faculties and energies of the students. They have been instruments
of much good in elevating the moral tone of the college and in cultivating
within the student's mind a higher and nobler idea of life and its respon¬
sibilities.
Sectarianism.
The school is owned and controlled by the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, but is not sectarian in any of its teachings. Students are admit¬
ted to all the privileges of the school without regard to sect or sex.
Religious Exercises.
While administering to the intellectual and physical needs, special at¬
tention is also given to the spiritual necessities of the pupils entrusted to
our care. Prayer meetings and Bible readings are conducted in the inter¬
est of the students every Friday afternoon. Through the influence of the
Christian teachers and Christian students a large number of pupils have
been converted to Christ and take an active part in the religious meetings.
A systematic course of Bible study is offered to all students.
Library.
r,,he library contains about 1,500 volumes, many of which are very val -
uable, both for reading and reference; but we need many more, and we
earnestly desire that the patrons of education will aid us in this direction.
Mokris Bjrown CotLKfiE.
37
Museum.
Collections in archajology, ethnology, history, natural history, the indus¬
trial and fine arts are gradually beihg added to the museum.
Financial Condition.
Our school, like many others in their early history, depends, in a great
measure, upon the benevolent for support. The current expenses of the
College exceed its income from tuition. A handsome endowment to this
institution from some patron of education would be a lasting monu¬
ment to his name and liberality. A donation of this kind would not
only be appreciated by those receiving its benefits, but would meet the ap¬
proval of God, whose Providence gave birth to this school.
i: cholarship.
Any of our large churches or any individual would do honor to the cause
of education by establishing scholarships of $50.00 or $100.00 to be used
by some worthy young man or woman struggling for an education.
General Regulations.
The President and Faculty reserve all rights to decide on the character
of the work and actions of students.
Association with the opposite sex without permission is strictly prohib¬
ited.
Students are assigned seats in the order in which their fees are paid and
must occu >y the same seat throughout the term.
Strict attention to study and to all other duties is required.
The entrance of students into the school is considered a promise that
they will conform to the laws and obey the rules of the Institution.
Whenever the faculty shall find that any student is not fulfilling the pur¬
pose for which he entered the College, or that he is disobedient or disor¬
derly so as to prove himself an unworthy member of the Institution, such
students may be expelled.
Students are held responsible for all carnage done by them to the prop¬
erty of the College.
