An Academic Course has been arranged for each Collegiate Course, intended to meet the wants of those who may be in attendance without the needed qualifications for the Collegiate Department. The foundation of success in the higher classes is laid in this preparatory work. While it is preparatory to the more advanced studies of theCoUegiate Course, still it is complete in itself. It comprehends, an excellent Academic Course. Any student having completed nothing more than the studies in this department, will have receiv. ed .systematic mental culture.

The regular course covers three or four years, accord- ing to the time spent daily in the Art room. It is desirable that students enter at the beginning of the term, but they will be received any time. Lesson hours: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

A careful examinatiojt of the following regulatio7is is requested of all who desire to enter this department : All students, on entering the Music Department, must obtain a matriculation card from the President of the Univesity, and be sub- ject to all the rules and regulations of the institution; but all buis- ness arrangements, forming of classes, changing. of lesson hours, paying of tuition, must be transacted with the Director of Music De- partment . Tuition payable strictly in advance for the entire term. Pupils entering the third grade in the courses in Piano or Voice, are requsted to study Harmony, unless special arrangements are made, and a discount of 10 per cent, will be given on Harmony tui- tion. Sheet music will be sold at a liberal discount, A statement of sheet music, etc., will be sent to pupils at the eiid of BAKER UNIVERSITY. 15 each month, and it is expected that all such bills will be paid promptly. Pupils will not be received for less than one term, or the unexpired portion of the term remaining after entrance. The department does not furnish instruments for pupils, but will gladly assist them in securing the use of pianos. Concert Grand Piano will be used during the school year. No deduction for temporary absence, nor for lessons discontinued, only in case of protracted illness, when the department will share loss with pupil. For further information addess C. A. Preyer. Music Department, Baker University, Baldwin. Kansas. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. Prof. Samuel E. Robertson, Principal. ZiMRi H. Lewis, Penniajiship, Stenography and Type Writing. There has been such a demand for a practical business course that the authorities have established a full Commercial Department, re- quiring one year to complete it. Prof. S. E. Robertson, for six years a successful instructor in Pond's Business College, of Topeka, has been secured as principal. He is enthusiastic in his work, and will give as good instruction and discipline as can be secured anywhere. There are advantages in taking a Business Course in connection with a regular College. The use of Library, privileges of the Library So- cieties, popular lectures and association with pupils in various de- partments, greatly enhance the desirability of taking a Business Course in regular College. The success of this department during the Fall term has been most gratifying. More students have elected business studies than ever before. The zest and energy manifested by all the classes have attracted many new students to this depart- ment. BRANCHES TAUGHT. Penmanship. —ThexQ is no pursuit in life that can ignore penman- ship. Legible, accurate, rapid business writing, is indispensable to the world. We have had students enter this department who were confident they could never learn to write, but we have never failed in teaching them to write a beautiful business hand in a few months. No young man of limited means can have a better capital with which to^commence life than a good hand writing. Book-Keeping, as is the case in all courses of commercial study, constitutes the frame-work of the business course. i6 BAKER UNIVERSITY. The financial failure of a large number of business men can be at- tributed to ignorance of double-entry book-keeping. New classes in this branch are organized at the beginning of every term. The entire school year is devoted to the study, thus enabling the student to become thoroughly conversant with both single and double- entry. Every one that completes the full course will be thoroughly pre- pared to enter upon the practical duties of an accountant. Principles and Practice of Business follows the course of book- keeping. The student here handles his money, makes out notes, drafts, checks and statements. Every paper that would be required in business has its place here. The work as performed in our leading offices and counting-rooms is here duplicated. Every transaction is guarded and not passed over until thoroughly understood. Commercial law. — It is certainly necessary for all to have some knowledge of points of law pertaining to business. We do not claim to make lawyers of our students, but we do claim to give them a knowledge of the principles of law whereby they may be able to protect their own interests. All points of law pertaining to business are fully and clearly brought before the student in the pursuing of this study. Commei'cial Ai'ithmetic. — This indisputable branch of Business Ed- ucation forms the very foundation of business enterprise and success. In this age of progress it is necessary for the man of business to make calculations in the most rapid and accurate manner. Such tho- rough and protracted drill is given as will answer both accuracy and rapidity. All the important abbreviated methods are used in giving instruction in this branch. English Grammar. — This important branch receives special atten- tion. Analyzing is made the basis of all the work. The exercises in Diagraming, Analyzing, Sentence-building, and in impromptu Composition, give an interesting variety to the study. Capitalization, punctuation and use of proper language, is also care- fully and thoroughly taught. Political Economy. — Large amounts of hard-earned money are finally lost by poor management, defective plans and short-sighted- ness. These defects can all be remedied by securing a knowledge of Political Economy. With a proper conception of this study the stu- dent, on entering a practical life, is enabled to see and steer clear of the difficutlies which cause so many shipwrecks in the financial world. Business Correspondence. — The subject of letter-writing is thor- oughly classified, embracing forms and matter. No drill the pupil BAKER UNIVERSITY. 17 receives can be made of more practical utility than a thorough knowl- edge of the common courtesies, forms and methods, in correspon- dence. A knowledge how to arrange and compose a good busi- ness letter is an accomplishment with which every one expecting to enter business circles should be familiar. Civil Government. — The time has come when the man of business must understand the history, purposes, philosophy and plan of the general government. The safety of the country depends largely on the intelligence of the people as to the various forms and objects of government. For this reason Civil Government has been attached to the course. Business Spelling: — He who cannot spell is regarded as an ignora- mus ; hence the importance of this study. A large collection of words used in business has been arranged for this branch. The stu- dents write their spelling lessons, thus training at once the eye, hand and brain, to do the work so often done in a lifetime. Business Pape7's and Legal Blanks. — In this branch the student is instructed how to make out in legal form, under the instruction of a competent teacher. Deeds, Notice to tenant to quit premises, Mort- gage on Personal Property, Mortgage, Satisfaction and Release, Agreement, general form, Mechanic's Lien, Bill of Sale, Notice, Prop- erty Statement Lease farm property. Mortgage, Lease general form- Bond for Deed, and all other important legal papers. Detection of Counterfeit Aloney.— Any one receiving a piece of eounterfeit money, according to business rules makes good the loss. The student is here instructed how to tell a genuine piece of money from a counterfeit. Though some may imagine that but few counter- feits exist now, the total of counterfeit money captured and secured during one year was $8,830,125. Marking Goods. — An accomplishment easily learned, and at the same time very useful, especially to those expecting to engage in clerical work. Shorthand. — With the ordinary method of writing we would be un- able to transact the great volume of business daily presenting itself. All leading merchants, bankers, corporations, lawyers, and in fact every one having an extensive correspondence, finds it necessary to employ a short-hand writer. The supply of good short-hand writers is unequal to the demand, at a salary that is by no means meager. Type-writing is also taught in connection with short-hand. Stu- dents have the preference of learning one or both. The demand for intelligent, skillful manipulators of the type-writer or caligraph, is constantly increasing, aai th; tim^ is not fir distiii w'lii th; typj- i8 BAKER UNIVERSITY. writer will be in as general use as the sewing machine of the present time. For charges in this department see page 1 1 of this circular. GENERAL INFORMATION. Location — The institution is pleasantly located at Baldwin, Doug- las County, on the line of the Southern Kansas Railroad. No more pleasing or desirable -location can be found for an'educational cen- ter. It is in the midst of an agricultural district, and the best fruit growing section in the State. It is easily reached by rail, as two trains pass and repass each day, making ready connection with the great through lines North, South, East and West. The town has been improved very much in the past year. Many new residences have been erected, and many mcrre will be built the coming year. The social advantages and church privileges are very good. The mutual relation of students and citizens are most amica- ble. All seek to make the stay of the students pleasant. The busi- ness interests are gradually improving. This is a desirable place for the young for educational purposes. History. — Baker University is the oldest living educational in- stitution in the State, having been chartered in February, 1858. Its doors were open to students in the autumn of the same year and reg- ular work has been done every term since. Like most denomination- al schools, Baker has had a hard struggle for an existence, but having survived many disasters, the friends feel that the crisis is now fully past, and the success of the last few years inspires hope for the future Building and Grounds. — There are two substantial buildings, locat. ed in a campus of sixteen acres or more, adorned with numerous trees which are making a vigorous growth, and will soon afford abundant shade. The stone building erected some years since, is 60x80 ft; contains five recitation rooms, library and reading room, art department and two society halls. Centenary hall is built of stone and brick. It contains five recita- tion rooms, president's ofifice, five private rooms, two rooms used by janitor, lecture room and chapel, with a regular seating capacity for nine hundred, and twelve hundred can be accommodated on special occasions. These buildings afford facilities for giving instruction to five hun- dred pupils. The new building has made the woirk of the institution J3AKER UNIVERSITY. 19 much more satisfactory. The property of the coUege is worth, at a fair estimate, $100,000. Govcr7inie7it. — The government of the institution is vested in the Faculty, and is adapted to the relations that exist in a college. The students are recognized as possessing a moral sense and ideas of propriety. These are appealed to and relied upon in a very large measure. If, however, this course should fail, the authorities will re- sort to such measures as are adequate to secure good government. The students are under salutary restrictions respecting social rela- tions. The principles of honor are inculcated, and Christian courtesy encouraged. Experience has shown that with the majority this is suffi- cient; but with a few, other restraints are necessary. The Faculty will determine by proper rules, when necessary, the relations of the young men and women socially, and will prescribe at what times and under what conditions they may or may not enjoy each others society. All persons boarding students will be expected to co-operate with the Faculty in enforcing such rules of the University as relate to stu- dents in boarding houses; and should there be failure to co-operate- in case of flagrant violations, the Faculty will change the place of boarding of said students.

All unexcused absences become marks of demerit, and may re- sult in private admonition, public reprimand, suspension or expul- sion. 5. Five demerits require a private admonition from the President; ten, a written notice to parents; and fifteen, suspension /from all the privileges of the University. 6. Willful violation of the rule respecting church attendance, ab- sence from town, or absence from room later than ten o'clock, incurs a demerit of five. Board. — In private families, with furnished room, light and fuel, per week, $2.75 to $3.50. Club rates, including room rent, $2.00 to $2,50. Self boarding, from $1.50 to $2.00. Total expenses for a year will vary from $100 to $300, as parents and pupils please to make them. Parents are admoished to not furnish too much spending money for miscellaneous purposes. Young men and women should be taught the lesson of econony. The merchants of Baldwin are hereby earn- e stly requested to refuse credit to young students, without instruc- tion from parent or guardian. Examinations and Degrees. — Oral examinations are held at the close of the Fall and Winter terms, before a committee of the Fac- ulty, and at the close of the Spring term, before a committee of the patronizing Conferences. Winter examinations will be held when the text is completed and at the close of the year, and the manuscripts will be preserved for inspection by the visiting committee. Any stu- dent being absent from examination must pass a private examination before admission to advanced standing in classes. A grade below 70 in scale of 100, will require a review of the branch. The Degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who complete the Classical course and pass a satisfactory examination in the same. The Degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred upon students who complete the Scientific course and pass a satisfactory examination in ^AKER UNIVERSITV. 2t The degree of Bachelor of Literature is conferred upon those com- pleting the Literary course and passing the required examination. Those completing the Normal course will receive a diploma from that department. Those who complete the Business course will re- ceive a certificate to that effect. Literary Societies. — There are four Literary Societies. Two are sustained by the young gentlemen, and two by the young ladies. They meet weekly for literary, oratorical and social improvement. They afford an excellent drill m parliamentary law, and the best usages of deliberative bodies. The Societies are under the general supervision of the Faculty, but in all the details of practical work their exercises are under their own management. The Yoimg Men s and the Young Women s Christian Association. — The objects of these organizations are sufficiently understood, so that it is not necessary to explain them. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. of Baker are in excellent condition. Meetings are held every week for Bible study and other religious exercises. The members of the Association are active in their attention to strangers, new stu- ents who are in need of Christian symyathy and friendship. The Christian young ladies of the College co-operate in practical religious work, holding a Gospel service every Sabbath, and giving all encour- agement to their associates to consecrate their lives to Christ. On Tuesday evening the President of the University meets the students in a prayer meeting. Attendance upon this service is optional, but dur- ing the past year the interest has been such that a congregation rep- resenting a large majority of the students and many young people of the town were present at each meeting. Endoxoment. — A vigorous effort is now being made to secure an en- dowment. The past year has been productive of some valuable work in this direction. The Convention of Laymen held in Baldwin, Dec. II and 12, 1888, was an occasion of great interest to all the friends of the University. Several subjects, pretaining to the present status of the educational work of Methodism in Kansas, were discussed ably and earnestly. But the subject which received chief attention was the importance of an immediate effort to secure an endowment The results of this convention are manifest in greater solicitude on the part of laymen as well as ministers in our patronizing territory to build up an adequate endowment. This interest was greatly increas- ed by the Reunion of the Kansas and South Kansas Conferences in Baldwin, March 8, 1889. The Laymen's Convention on Tuesday and Wednesday of Commencement week, June 4 and 5, so organized this v\-9r]k that complete sugce^s geen)§ Jvsgyre4< d2 BAKER UNIVERSITY. The Convention held Dec. lo, 1889, was largely attended, and the business took a more practical turn than ever before, The Rev. J. W. Walker of Emporia, has been secured as Corresponding Secretary of the Endowment Association, and during the short time he has been engaged in this work, his efforts have been attended with the most gratifying results. Some liberal and appreciative friends of the University have made generous propositions to contribute to the endowment on such condi- tions as will make their gifts of much greater value in case others will respond on similar conditions. These offers are worthy of the most careful attention, and constitute a great incentive to the friends of learning to unite in building up an institution which has already ren- dered such valuable service in promoting the intellectual and moral welfare of the people. It is believed that by allowing the windows of the Chapel, recitation rooms, corridors, libraries, museums, cabinets and professorships to bear the names designated by the donors of specific amounts, that a large portion of this much needed endowment can be raised. A number of persons have stated, confidentially, their intention to bequeath to the University a portion of their estate. Such expres- sions are encouraging, and are gratefully remembered; but experi- ence has shown that it is far better to make investments in the cause of Christian education directly, by gift or deed of trust, than to risk the uncertainties of a last will and testament. Our friends are requested to keep in mind the great advantages se- cured to the University by our liberal charter respecting the holding of real estate. Aged and invalid persons who desire to assist the College can do so in such a way as to relieve their own minds of care, by transferring to the Educational Association their property, and re- ceiving an annuity in money for the same. Baker University presents to men of wealth a rare opportunity to make their money a blessing to thousands of the most deserving young men in the land, long after the donors have passed from the scenes of time. The example of great and useful philanthropists shows that money given to Christian education is more likely to accomplish good than in any other channel of beneficence. Our ever devoted friends, the pastors, are earnestly requested to search diligently for every possible source of increasing the endow- ment of the University. Do not hesitate to make known to the offi- cers of the Board, or the Faculty, any suggestion which may promote |he interests ^f pur cherished school, BAKER UNIVERSITY. 23 The officers of the Laymen's Endowment Association are: Hon.
