  • tJepartment of liberal ~rts. Three Courses of study are provided for those who wish to

    enter upon a regular curriculum of college training: the Clas-sical, the Scientific, and the Literary.

    Terms of J.dmlsslotJ. Candidates for admission to the Freshman class in the Liter-

    ary course are required to pass satisfactory examination in the following branches:

    English: Orthography, Reading, Grammar, Lessons in Eng-lish, Elementary Rhetoric, Elocution, Commercial Law, and seven terms of Studies in English and American Authors.

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS 7

    The requirements for admission to the Classical Course are the same as to the Scientific Couse, omitting Modern History, Mechanical Drawing, Botany, Physical Geography, and Civil Government; and substituting therefor, Greek Grammar, Com-position (Jones' or equivalent), three books of the Anabasis, and three books of the Iliad.

    For list of schools whose graduates can be admitted without examination, see la~t page of .. General Information."

    ~odr.se of l1J.strdcUotl. The following is descriptive of all branches of this depart-

    ment:

    PSYCHOLOGY AND EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY.

    THE PRESIDENT.

    Psychology: Two terms in the Senior year are devoted to this study. The first is assigned to the Intellect; the second to the Sensibility and Will. In addition to this class wark, instruc-tion in practical Ethics is given by lectures throughout the year to the school assembled for devotions.

    Christian Evidences are examined during two periods (nine hours per week), of the Spring term. The texts used cover the important grounds and evidences of Christian belief, as estab lished in history, analogy, and other important fields of thought and investigation. In addition to the text

  • 8 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    ment by the people, discuss the essential guarantees of personal liberty, and examine and compare various forms of government as developed in the constitutions of the leading civilized states.

    Political Economy: The VVinter term is devoted to the con-sideration of fhe underlying principles of Political Economy with abundant application to questions of present interest and impor-tance, such as: banking, currency (including bi-metallism), tax-ation (including tariff and the .. single4ax" theory), the wage question (including trades unions and strikes), the theory of Mal-thus, and the reflex influence of distribution and consumption upon the production of wealth.

    Sociology: In the Spring term the causes of social unrest are considered, and the conclusions established during the two previous terms are applied to the current theories of Social-ism, and to the present trend toward a larger control of busi-ness affairs by the state, with a view to ascertain what dangers are ahead and what changes are likely to prove advantageous to mankind.

    In addition to the information derived from text~books and considerable collateral reading, much valuable material is placed before the class in reports presented by students appointed to investigate special topics of interest.

    PEDAGOGY.

    PROFESSOR U'HIPPLE.

    Pedagogy: In this study the principles of Mental Philoso-phy are reviewed so far as is necessary to understand the nature of children's minds, and the methods best adapted to secure their natural and harmonious development. Then the principles and maxims of teaching are discussed, and finally a study is made of the methods of instruction to be pursued in the various common school branches.

    Moral training, the use of the Bible in schools, and school discipline receive a due share of attention.

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS

    Students are required to visit the best public schools in the vicinity, and report upon the degree of !uccess therein attained in the application of the principles of the science of teaching.

    Those who pursue this study may expect to become reasona-bly well prepared to meet the growing demand that teachers shall have some professional training before entering upon their work.

    GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY.

    PROFESSOR U'HIPPLE.

    Geology and Mineralogy are :pursued in the Fall term of the Senior year. LeConte's elements is the text used in Geol-ogy. The plan followed is, in the main, that of the text, attention being directed to the dynamical agencies-atmospheric, aqueous, igneous, and organic-at work, fashionng and forming the world; to the structure of the earth -its soil, the rocks and mountains; to its history as recorded in the rocks and fossils; in short, to the general important geological facts.

    Constant reference is made to the collections of fossils and minerals contained in the College Cabinet, and for additional il-lustrations, excursions are made to the Field Museum in Chi-cago, and to quarries along the Fox River.

    In Mineralogy a few lectures on the principles of crystal-lography, and on the general physical properties of minerals are given. By b!ow pipe analysis and chemical tests, and guided by Crosby's Tables of Minerals, the student determines at least twenty~five specimens.

    PHYSICS.

    PROFESSOR FISCHER.

    Physics: The course in Physics includes a thorough study of the text

  • t6 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    ries involved, and students are taught to verify them by actual measurements. The institution is provided with a physical lab· oratory recently fitted up. and apparatus for individual work. Three hours per week of laboratory work are required of each student.

    BIOLOGY.

    PROFESSOR MULLENIX.

    In this course the science of living things is studied in a more comprehensive way than in Zoology and Botany. It supple. ments and correlates those studies. Plants and animals are studied first, simply as living things, and the differences between living matter and lifeless matter are discussed; Then they are compared, both as to the processes which characterize each and differentiate the one from the other, and as to the methods for the accomplishment of these processes. Daily laboratory work pre-pares the students for these generalizations. The biological ar-guments for and against the coctrines of evolution are consid-ered. Parker is used as a text.

    Histology and Laboratory Technique: By special arrange-ment those desiring it may receive instruction in the prepara-tion of permanent slides for the microscope, including dehy-dration, staining, double.staining, imbedding in celloidin and in paraffin, sectioning, and mounting, followed by a microscopical examination of the tissues thus prepared. This is a fascinating line of work, which, though it does not necessarily form a part of a general education, will be very valuable to those expecting to teach, or to study medicine.

    GENERAL INORGANIC CHEMISTRY.

    PROFESSOR MULLENIX.

    This subject is taught by a combination of the laboratory method, frequent quizzes, occasional lectures, and the constant use of the text,book.

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS Ii

    The laboratory work is conducted with two distinct objects in view, viz.: to cultivate the habit of thinking independently and accurately, and to give the student a basis for a knowledge of the laws of chemical action. Each student makes an accurate rec-ord of the work done, the results obtained, and the inferences de-rived therefrom. These records are carefully criticised by the instructor.

    In the recitation room the students discuss the results of their experiments, are tested in the usual way as to their knowl-edge of the lessons assigned, and receive such additional ex-planations as are necessary. Remsen's Introduction is used as a text,book, and Remsen and Randall's Manual is used as a guide in the laboratory.

    Qualitative 4nalysis: During the Winter term the Soph-omores of the Scientific and Literary courses continue the study of Inorganic Chemistry, the experiments being so planned as to give the student ability to determine the composition of unknown substances. After a series of preliminary experiments, each stu-dent is given a number of simple salts, of which he is required to ascertain both the base and the acid radical. This work is fol-lowed by the analysis of alloys, and of mixtures containing sev-eral salts. Accompanying this is a brief discussion of the theory of solutions as applied to Qualitative Analysis. Noyes'text-book is used.

    MATHEMATICS.

    PROFESSOR H. A. FISCHER.

    Geometry: During the Freshman year students complete the Geometry, including Solid and Spherical.

    Algebra: The ground covered in Algebra includes Varia-tions, Series, Permutations and Combinations, Binomial Theo-rem (proved for negative and fractional exponents as well as positive), Undetermined Coefficients, Logarithms, General The-ory of Equations, Solution of Higher Equations, etc.

  • 12 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    Plane Trigonometry and Surveying: In connection with Plane Trigonometry, Surveying is taught, and students are re-quired to perform outdoor work in Triangulation and Determina-tion of Areas.

    ·General Geometry and Calculus: During the Sophomore year, General Geology and Calculus (both Differential and Inte-gral) are offered as electives. Students choosing these studies find in them an excellent review of all their previous mathemat-ics, as well as new and interesting fields for mathematical study. For Spherical Trigonometry and further applications of Mathe-matios, see Physics and Astronomy in the Junior year.

    The aim throughout is to make the students familijir with mathematical principles, to develop the logical faculties of their minds, and to give them ability to state clearly the different steps by which they reach their conclusions.

    Astronomy: The course in Astronomy covers two terms. It is introduced by Spherical Trigonometry, which is subse-quently applied to the celestial sphere. After this, students are made familiar with astronomical facts, principles, and nomen-clature; they learn the use of astronomical instruments, includ-ing the spectroscope for finding the Physical constitution of heavenly bodies, apply the laws of Mechanics to their mo-tions, make calculations relating to their distances and masses, and learn the reasons for such phenomena as eclipses, transits, etc. In addition to text~book work, lectures are delivered, illustrated by numerous stereopticon views. By an outdoor study of the heavens with a stellar lantern and telescope, students become fa-miliar with the principal planets, fixed stars, and constellations.

    LATIN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

    PROFESSOR GREENWOOD.

    The authors read in College are selected primarily for con-tents and style-as representative poets and historians-rather

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS 13

    than as exponents of words set to Latin rules; while form and construction are noted so far as auxiliary to this higher aim of marking the genius of the language. Reading and scam,ion translations, oral and written, in both prose and verse, which are faithful to the text, but expressed in idiomatic and ornate Eng-lish, are among the tasks set the student. The history, govern-ment, religion, society, and military spirit of the Romans are studied in themselves, and by continual comparison with the corresponding phases of our own and other civilizations. A thorough course is taken in Latin Literature, includir.g in chron-ological order the chief authors, works, and styles.

    GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

    PROFESSOR GU/TNER.

    The course in Greek aims to give a critical and practical knowledge of the language itself, and to impart a general liter-ary culture by a systematic study of the best models of Grecian Literature. Such attention is given to forms, idioms, and con-structions as is necessary to supplement the work of the Prepar-atory School. while more time is given to the elaboration of thought and the discussion of literary and historical subjects. Throughout the whole course attention is given to the memoriz-ing of choice passages, reading at sight, and the translation of English into idiomatic Greek. Exercises in Greek composition are based on the authors studied. By the assignment of special topics and prescribed collateral reading, knowledge is acquired of Hellenic civilization and the range and scope of its literature and art. The course of reading is comprehensive, including the best authors of the Classical period and the Greek Testament.

  • 14 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    GERMAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

    PROFESSOR FISCHER.

    German: The course in German begins with some essential forms and simple constructions. Easy reading matter is intro-duced almost from the start, and the forms, constructions, and words learned are familiarized in conversational exercises. At the same time the student is trained to accuracy by written exercises, translating English sentences into German. This preliminary study of words, grammatical forms, and construc-tions, including a study of the Subjunctive mode, requires a lit-tle more than a term. The remainder of the second term is de-voted to sight and class reading of easy texts, such as Niebuhr's "Heroen Geschichten," and" 1m Zwielicht," supplemented by fre-quent written and conversational exercises. The remaining four terms are devoted to a more critical study, both of the I;wguage itself and of its literature. Sight reading and written exercises are continued throughout the course, and class work is carried on mostly in the German language, thus affording a large amount of incidental practice in speaking and understanding the lan-guage. The main object, however, is to introduce the student to classical German literature, of which a number of typical works are read and discussed.

    FRENCH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

    MRS. GREENWOOD.

    The course in French occupies one year, and secures a prac-tical introduction to this most fascinating of languages. Cor-rect pronunciation, critical and fluent translation, familiar conver-sation, simple composition, and the essence of grammar, includ-ing the irregular verbs, are kept in view throughout. In reading, the student advances rapidly from simple narrative to an ac-quaintance with several of the representative classic authors.

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS

    LOGIC AND RHETORIC.

    PROFESSOR STRA W.

    Logic: The text~book used is Jevon's. We aim to hav\;! the student acquire a critical knowledge of the science, and byappli-cation and example to gain such facility in logical thought as to make it of practical value.

    Science of Rhetoric: Hill's text is made the basis of a term's work. Every topic studied is illustrated by example and referred to its proper place and purpose. Since in the Preparatory School the elements of Rhetoric are learned, here the student acquires a comprehensive view of the science, with its underlying principles. About one4hird of the term is given to special exercises in criti-cism and construction.

    ENGLISH LITERATURE AND CRITICISM.

    PROFESSOR DOW.

    English Literature: In English Literature, beSIdes follow-ing the text~book in a general view of of the leading literature of our language, an acquaintance with the authors is made more fa-miliar by informal lectures and such reading of their works as is possible. Constant use of the library is urged,and students re-port their impressions of what they have read, thus affording an opportunity for correction and direction as to what they should find in the works perused.

    English Criticism: The course in English Criticism contem-plates the critical study of a few works of standard excellence, aiming not only at a thorough acquaintance with those works, and a genuine appreciation of their merits, but also at the formation of pure taste and correct habits of thought for use in all after reading.

    The work for anyone term will deal with the literary mas-terpieces of a single period, or with works which illustrate the life of that period.

  • 16 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    BIBLE STUDY.

    MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY.

    VVe have outlined a Bible Course for the College, comprising four years of progressive, inductive study, covering the Old Tes-tament and Revelation. The Freshman year is devoted to the Pentateuch. The Sophomores study the remaining historical books. The Junior year is given to the poetical books and the minor prophets. The Seniors study the remaining prophets of the Old Testament and the Revelation. This work is pursued after the manner of other College study; not for vain discussion of disputed questions, but to give the student a thorough, compre-hensive knowledge of the \Vord of God, with the known facts of science and history bearing upon it. Believing that this is the most important book for the scholar as well as for others, we aim to have it studied scientifically.

    HISTORY.

    MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY.

    Throughout the College courses a system of historical read-ing is pursued, arranged so that each of the four College classes reads two standard works each year. The· course embraces the histories of the more important nations of ancient and modern times, besides several on general topics.

    The classes meet once a week for discussing portions read, and are examined at the end of each term.

    Following is a list of books in the order in which they are read: Fyffe's Greece (primer), supplemented by readings from Grote's and Curtius' Greece; Creighton's Rome (primer), supple-mented by readings from Mommsen, Merrivllle, and Gibbons' Rome; Montgomery'li England; Creasey's English Constitution; Taylor's Germany; D'Aubigne's Reformation; Haven's History of Philosophy; Fisk's Critical Period of American History.

  • DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS 17

    ORATORICAL WORK.

    THE PRESIDENT AND PROFESSOR STRAW.

    During many years the efforts of the Faculty have been di-rected toward the cultivation of a manly and effective oratory. To this end throughout the Fall term of Junior year, Rtetorical work is pursued as a regular study with Professor Straw. Daily drill is combined with theoretical study in the delivery of Selec-tions from Literature, original Essays, Lectures, and Orations. Personal instruction is added to class instruction; the art of com-position is practised with the aid of friendly and faithful criti-cism. The aim throughout is to apply laboratory and studio methods to the expression of thought. During the Senior year the members of the Senior class are under the personal care of the President for work in this department.

    The degree, Bachelor of Arts, is conferred on those who com-plete the Classical Course, the degree, Bachelor of Science, is conferred on those who complete the Scientific Course, and the degree, Bachelor of Literature, on those who complete the Liter-ary Course. One year or more after graduating, holders of the degree, Bachelor of Arts, will be recommended to the Board of Trustees for the degree, Master of Arts, provided they pass satis-factory examinations in one year of advanced study prescribed by the Faculty, and pay the necessary fees.

    FOUR COURSES of study are provided for those who have finished the common English branches, ane! wish to enter upon a prescribed course of study; the Classical Preparatory, the Scien-tific Preparatory, the Literary Preparatory, and the Normal Course. The three former prepare for admission to the Fresh-man class of the corresponding College Courses. The Normal Course is complete in itself, and is designed for those preparing to teach in the public schools or desiring a more limited course than that offered in the College.

    In addition to these the English Course is arranged for those who may be deficient in the common branches.

    Terms of Admission: Students are admitted to the first year of the Classical, Scientific, aI¥ol. Literary Preparatory Courses, and to the first year of the Normal Course upon satisfactory examina-tion in the studies of the English School. For entering the sec-ond or third year of these courses, examination will be required in the preceding studies.

    The following presents the instruction in all departments of the Preparatory School:

    LATIN.

    duction to this strong language as spoken, written, read. Ac-cordingly, simple stories read aloud, memorized, translated, and rendered back into the Latin, come first, accompanied by such grammatical details of accidence and syntax as are demanded at this stage of the work. With the third term the easier classics are begun, more rigid grammatical work required, and more ad· vanced composition assigned, until the entire subject is covered, as represented by such manuals as Jones' Prose Composition. The texts read, are, selections from the BreviariutJl of Eutropius, De Viris lnlustribus of Nepos, De Bello Gallico of Caesar, Noctes Atticae of Gellius, De Natura Deorum of Cicero, and the Histo· riae of Livy; six orations of Cicero, and six books of Virgil. " These are critically studied in their grammar, literature, and his-tory, besides the history, customs, religion, politics, and ~ocial life of the Romans.

    GREEK.

    PROFESSOR GUiTNER.

    The preparatory course in Greek occupies two years, which are devoted to the grammar, the An"abasis, and the Iliad. Forms and constructions are required to be mastered with rigid thor-oughness, so that later advances may be made with rapidity and satisfaction. Exercises in composition are required from the be-ginning.

    Such attention is given to collateral reading and the general literature of the authors studied as will give a just appreciation of the text.

    ELEMENTARY PHYSICS AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

    PROFESSOR MULLENIX.

    Elementary Physics: Two terms are devoted to this study in the senior year of the Preparatory Course. The work includes

  • VVHEATON COLtEG£

    a study of the properties of matter; the mechanics of solids, li· quids, and gases; beat; light; sound; magnetism; electricity. Students are required to perform many easy experiments for themselves, and the more difficult ones are performed by the in-structor in the presence of the class. Each student records every experiment carefully, stating what was done, how it was done, the results obtained, and the conclusions arrived at. Thus are developed the habits of observing carefully, and of seeking tht' reason tor things. This branch serves as an introduction to tbe study of the physical sciences, as well as affords valuable information.

    Physical Geography: This branch of study follows imme-diately upon the work of Elementary Physics. It can hardly be called a science of itself, but rather a correlation of several sci-ences as applied to the structure and conditions of the surface of the earth. It in.vestigates the relations which exist between the earth and other heavenly bodies, and their results, such as tides. It studies the laws of Physics as applied to the earth, pro-ducing ocean currents, winds, precipitation of moisture, deserts, storms, cyclones, tornadoes, variations in climate in the same lat-itude, etc. The condition of the interior of the earth, the compo· sition and structure of the surface of the earth, drainage, the dis-tribution of plants, animals, and minerals, and many other inter-esting and important subjects receive careful study. This study being placed in the last term of the Preparatory Course, pupils come to it with a thorough preparation for it, from their previous study of Botany, Zoology, and Physics. The text,book is supple· mented by lectures and reports.

    ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY.

    PROFESSOR MULLENIX.

    Zoology: The plan of the work in Zoology is for each stu-dent to make a thorough study of at least one animal from each

  • PREPARATORY SCHOOL 27

    branch of the animal kingdom. The method of procedure is from simple to complex. The lower animals are examined with the aid of the compound microscope, and the hight;r ones are dissected. Note~books are prepared which consist of written descriptions of the forms studied, and of drawings representing their structure. The laboratory work is supplemented by collateral reading on forms allied to the ones examined. Observed resemblances and differences serve as the basis for intelligent classification into classes, orders, families, etc.

    Botany has been defined as .. the science which attempts to answer every reasonable question about plants." In accordance with this idea, the method employed is to seek to learn as much as may be regarding the life

    MATHEMATICS.

    PROFESSORS FISCHER AND WHIPPLE.

    Algebra: During three terms of the Preparatory years devoted to Algebra, students are expected to acquire among other things, the following: first, thorough familiarity with the definitions and symbols of Algebra, and with Algebraic quantities, including neg-atives; second, accuracy and rapidity in the fundamental opera-ions, including factoring, findmg the G. C. D. and L. C. M., involu-tion, and evolution; third, neatness in working on paper or at the blackboard, and clearness in explaining the work done; fourth, ease in handling fractional expressions; fifth, ability to eliminate unknown quantities, to solve equations of the first and second de-grees, and to state problems; sixth, ability to discuss problems, including the proper interpretation of zero, infinity, negative and imaginary results; seventh, the theory of exponents, including radicals, negative and fractional exponents; eighth, a knowledge of inequalities, involution, and evolution. In most text~books on Higher Algebra, the above ground is covered in the chapters pre-ceding Ratio and Proportion.

    Plane Geometry: After learning the definitions and axioms, the students are required to learn the important mathemat-ical principles contained in the theorems and corollaries, in their logical order; to prove these principles; to find original demonstrations for propositions not proved in the text~book; to solve a variety of geometrical problems, such as constructing figures, calculating areas, etc., and to perform blackboard work neatly.

    ENGLISH LITERATURE.

    PROFESSOR DOW.

    The study of English classics in the Literary Preparatory School comprises a term of text~book work in American Literature,

  • PREPARATORY SCHOOL

    and a two years' course of study in English and American Authors beginning with the fall term of the second year.

    The course is chronologically arranged beginning with Elizabethan Literature in the third term, the two previous terms being devoted to American authors, together with readings chiefly from Shakespeare and Scott, relating to the periods of English History, immediately preceding the Age of Elizabeth.

    Other readily accessible authors, notably Macaulay and Carlyle, will be made use of freely out of their chronological order as auxiliary readings; and one or more plays of Shake-speare will be studied each term throughout the course.

    The outline of study for the coming year is as follows:

    FALL TERM.

    Milton, Dryden, Pope, Addison, Readings on the Stuart Period: Macaulay's Milton, Hampden, Bunyan, and Dryden; Henry Esmond; etc.

    Shakespeare's Roman Plays.

    WINTER TERM.

    Johnson, Goldsmith, and Burke; Cowper, Burns, and Scott; Romeo add Juliet. Winter's Tale.

    SPRING TERM.

    \Vordsworth, Coleridge, and Byron; Heroes and Hero-Worship and Representative Men. Silas Marner, Macbeth. Midsummer Night's Dream.

    EXPRESSION IN ENGLISH.

    PROFESSOR STRA W.

    Letters a.nd Essa.ys: To speak our language in its purity, to write it with elegance, to master its strength of expres-sion, and to interpret its classic literature afford a valuable culture which every young person should possess. Grammar is completed in the English School, while the Preparatory courses

  • 30 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    furnish a continuation of language work in the study and practice of written and oral expression. Beginning with the simplest original composition directed by the teacher and graded to lead naturally into a ready expression of the student's own best thought, the first term includes businefs, social, and literary letters, and essays descriptive, narrative, expository, argumenta-tive, historical, scientific, imaginative, etc. The first themes are on familiar subjects to afford facility at once in composing and writing, the date and time are prescribed to develop promptness and speed, and a continual advance leads up to the more abstruse and elaborate productions.

    Rhetoric: The students in Rhetoric are thus prepared for a profitable study of the theory of effectiveness in discourse. Their experience gives them a clearer view of the application of rhetorical principles. Now they learn the elements of discourse; the principles which underlie rhetorical rules and which therefore determine when those rules should be followed and why there are exceptions to them; rhetorical aids and rhetorical faults; the va-rious purposes, sorts, and styles of discourse, and a more purpose-ful planning and outlining of their thoughts.

    Elocution: This important and delightful art is founded upon scientific principles, and, so taught, it becomes a valuable discipline as well as an elegant accomplishment.

    It includes voice culture; the modifications of tone; enun-ciation; physical training for the purpose of physical expression; eradication of faults in delivery; thought interpretation; intellec-tual, emotive, and volitional expression;-all pursued with induc-tive and drill exercises. All students preparing for public exer-cises are given one rehearsal free.

    Private lessons in Elocution: Two hours a week, $20.00 per term; per hour, $1.00.

    Orations: In the spring term of third year composition is continued in the writing of Orations, which are delivered before the

  • PREPARATORY SCHOOL 31

    couraging students to express their opinions on subjects of public importance in occasional debates. At the same time a course of reading is pursued with the professor, the characteristic merit of the different Classic Orators in English being noted. This gives the student a criterion, ~nd a comparison of his own work with the various models. All composition work, after being criti-cised, is rewritten with corrections until satisfactory. The frequent delivery of original thought before the class gives free-dom, self-command, grace, -and effectiveness, with an opportunity for helpful suggestions. By this course, rhetorical work, instead of being an unsatisfactory bugbear to students, becomes a delight-ful study, thorough and progressive.

    HISTORY.

    THE FACULTY.

    The first term of General History is devoted to the old East and the later Mediterranean States of ancient tImes. The stu-dents use some one of the several good texts now in vogue but are referred to others on points of special importance. Outlin-ing and map~drawing form part of the work required. The sec-ond term's study completes the preparatory work in History and therefore covers both Medi::eval and Modern times. .The stu-dents are guided into a useful analysis of the life and civilization of modern nations by noting the successive stages of develop-ment through which Europe has passed, and the work of the term is summarized in outline form.

    BIBLE STUDY.

    THE FACULTY.

    A course of Bible Study has been provided, extending through the Preparatory School and the entire College courses. In the First Preparatory Year, memory wor~ is done, Thi~ in-

  • VVHEATON COLLEGE

    cludes dates of leading events, principal persons, sacred geogra-phy, and such other items as will be used in all Bible Study.

    In the Second Year, the class study the journeys of St. Paul, taking up the journeys in their order, considering one journey each term, completing his life and labors with this year.

    The Senior Preparatory class study the life of Christ in the same manner as above indicated. In both these last named class-es, the memory work of the first year is reviewed and continued.

    ENGLISH DEPARTMENT.

    MISS COOK. AND OTHERS OF THE FACULTY.

    The English Department is composed of students who are not sufficiently advanced to enter one of the reguiar courses, and others who select studies.

    Persons who have mastered Reading, Spelling, and the fun-damental operations of Arithmetic, including Common Fractions, can profitably enter upon this work.

    Provision is always made for classes who need instruction in Arithmetic, English Grammar, and Geography. Instruction in these branches is suited to the ability of the students, and such methods are used as will secure the most rapid advancement consistent with thoroughness. Many students come whose ability enables them to make up deficiencies in these branches in half the time usually devoted to them. Our aim is to give the student the greatest possible amount of help for the time and money in-vested. The course is arranged as follows:

    In the Fall Term, Arithmetic, Grammar, and Geography. In the \Vinter Term, Arithmetic, Spelling, and Grammar. In the Spring Term, Arithmetic, Grammar, and United

    States History.

    Diplomas are granted to graduates from the Normal and preparatory Courses.

  • BdSilless eollege.

    The instruction in this department has been arranged for the purpose of developing the business capacity of the student. He enters upon a complete course of training, covering all the de-tails of business from the simplest transaction to the most complex.

    Our object is to prepare the student to use to the best advan-tage the means and oPPo.rtunities within his reach, and to enable him to make an independent and honorable living.

    It is our aim no.t only to make bookkeepers and stenogra-phers, but also to impart a knowledge of subjects related to the business world such as will furnish the student with that symmet-rical education necessary for a successful commercial career.

    THE BUSINESS COURSE

    Includes Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Business Correspondence, Spelling, Office Prac-tice, and Rapid Calculation.

    In Bookkeeping the student is not confined to the Text" Book, but Business Practice is so combined with it as to make the work a pleasure, and give the best idea of the way in which actual business is done and real books are kept. The student is requi.red to make out various forms of commercial paper which would be used in the business in which he engages. He is fur-nished with College Currency as capital, rents his store, opens an account with the College Bank, procures a stock of goods from the \Vholesale House, proceeds to. fill orders which come through the Co.llege mail, conducts his correspondence, and so receives a valuable drill in writing business letters.

  • BUSINESS COLLEGE 39

    He discount. notes and other paper received .from his cus-tomers at the bank, buys exchange, pays freight, and in fact per-forms all the transactions connected with the business. At the dose of the set he is required to make out a full and complete statement which must exhibit his net gain or loss, and his present worth.

    Business Office Department: After the student has become thoroughly acquainted with all the books essential to different classes of business, he is advanced to the Business Office Depart-ment, which includes a College Bank, Wholesale House, and Merchants' Emporium.

    The College Bank receives deposits, discounts paper, issues certificates of deposit, and makes collections, etc., as an actual bank would do.

    The student performs in order the Duties of Payil)g Teller, Receiving Teller, Bookkeeper, and Cashier.

    Wholesale House: Here the student in his first work makes his purchases, and later is advanced to the position of bookkeeper, and cashier for the same. Here is to be found all the merchan-dise needed for carrying on a wholesale business. Journal, cash book, sales book, purchase book, bill book, and ledger, are used in this office.

    The Merchants' Emporium is for the transaction of busi-ness which does not properly belong to the other offices.

    Business Arithmetic: It is very necessary that the account-ant should be able to use fig!lres in a quick and accurate manner. If there is anyone thing that the bookkeeper must possess, it is the ability to perform calculations rapidly. Special attention is paid to the arithmetical principles constantly employed in bus-iness; such as addition, multiplication, and division; and much time is devoted to a drill in a variety of short methods.

    Penmanship: The value of rapid and legible handwriting cannot be overestimated. The applicant for a position as book-keeper or clerk will find his penmanship either his best or poorest

  • 40 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    recommendation. If he is a good penman his application will receive attention, but if he is a poor writer it will be consigned to the waste basket. Students in all departments of commercial work receive one hour's instruction daily in practical penmanship.

    Oorrespondence is closely connected with Penmanship, and in this the student is instructed in the form and composition of business letters, and required to submit his work to the teacher for inspection and correction.

    Oommercial Law: It is essential that all persons expecting to be connected with business affairs· should have a fair knowl-edge of Commercial Law. A knowledge of this one branch might save a student, in a single transaction, the entire cost of his business education.

    The student is required to write up the various forms of legal documents.

    THE SHORTHAND COURSE

    Includes not only the theory and practice of Shorthand, but likewise Penmanship, Typewriting, Punctuation, Spelling, Cor-respondence, and Manifolding,

    In Stenography the student is taught the principles of Shorthand, and immediately applies the same by writing simple words arranged in sentences and letters so that the work is made very interesting from the start. His vocabulary is being con-stantly enlarged by the use of new matter, and his speed gradu-ally increased. The letters and other matter used for dictation are, as far as possible, taken directly from actual business corres-pondence, thus giving the student a thorough drill in business phraseology.

    Typewriting: The student is required to practice daily on the typewriter, and his work is examined, corrected, and re-turned to be rewritten. Many stenographers fail simply from their inability to write a neat and correct letter on the machine, and therefore particular stress is given to this matter. The busi-

  • BUSINESS COLLEGE 41

    ness man does not inquire what system of shorthand his sten, ographer employs, but he does desire his letters to be properly arranged, rightly spelled, and correctly punctuated.

    The machine used is the Remington.

    Penmanship and Correspondence: All students in Short-hand do the same work in Penmanship and Cortespondence as those in the Bookkeeping Course.

    COMBINED COURSE.

    Students desiring the best possible preparation for business should combine the Business and the Shorthand Courses. A per-son understanding Stenography and Typewriting, and having a fair knowledge of Bookkeeping, has his chances for a good position greatly enhanced. In this event he can accept a situation either as bookkeeper or stenographer, or, as occurs very frequently, he can fill a position requiring both these qualifications. Many firms have not sufficient work to require the full services of a book-keeper, and it is necessary that the person employed to do this work also attend to the correspondence. This brings the em-ployee in closer touch with, and increases his value to the em-ployer, thus affording him a better salary than if he performed but one kind of £ervice.

    and Shorthand Courses.

    .AdmiSSIon. While no examinations for admission to the Business College

    are required, a common school education is essential to the stu-dent's rapid advancement. All persons deficient in the common branches will pursue them in the Preparatory School in connec-tion with their regular work without extra charge.

  • The ~onservatory of Jdll$ie.

    Piano, Pipe Organ, Cabinet Organ, Voice Culture, Chorus Singing, Violin, Cornet, Guitar, Harmony, Counterpoint, Canon, Fugue, Musical Form, Musical History.

    PIANO.

    All students of the Piano are required to pursue the most thorough modern technical system of training practicable, special attention being given to hand formation, the cultivation of touch, interpretation, and correct musical taste.

    Beginners and those not far advanced are especially wel-come, as they possess few or none of the erroneous ideas and bad habits which are so easily formed by incorrect teaching or by careless practice, and which prove in many cases, almost insur-mountable obstacles to high cultivation. They therefore receive more readily the correct fundamental principles, and can, as a rule, make steady and rapid progress, uninterrupted by the tedi-ous process of un/earnil1g bad habits which retards the advance-ment of those less fortunate.

    Selections are made from the following works, which embrace all styles and schools of composition:

    Kohler op. 1

  • e s:: III -(')

  • CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 43

    sen op. 32; Moscheles op. 70; Nicode Etudes; MacDowell Etudes; Bach's Lighter Composition; two and three part Inven-tions, Preludes, Fugues, Sonatas and pieces by Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Weber, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Scharwenka, Moskowski, Raff, Kwast, Grieg, Gade, Noskowski, Brassin, Henselt, Godard, Wilm, Tschaikow-sky, Paderewski, and others.

    All graduates in Piano must have at least two years' work in Theory, and one year in Musical History.

    VOICE.

    The Orpheus Club, composed of those who are able to satisfy the Examining Committee that they are competent to do chorus work of an advanced character, has already made a reputaion for itself by its creditable rendition of some of the compositions of the best writers.

    The work of the Philharmonic Club is to fit those who are musical, but who have had little experience in chorus work, for membership in the Orpheus Club.

    A thorough course in reading and tone work is laid out, and all pupIls are advised to apply for membership in one of these clubs.

    VOCAL CULTURE.

    The regular course for graduation includes exercises for gaining control of the diaphragm, rib, and chest muscles, practice in tone placing, exercises in velocity (including the Viardot, Lut-gen, Concone, and Marchesie exercises, ballads, songs, concert oratorio, and operatic music.

    All pupils in this department must also take a short course on the Piano, and in the Theory and History of Music, and one year of German.

    VIOLIN.

    The regular course for graduation includes Violin, Theory, and Musical History. The course in Violin is as follows:

  • 44 VVHEATON COLLEGE

    Easy Exercises, Studies and Pieces, Scales, Embellishments, Airs Varies by Dancla, Studies by Kreutger and Alard, Con-certos and Sonatas by the best composers. The Violin has al-ways been the leading instrument of the orchestra, and the de-mand for good violinists in the large cities is increasing every year.

    PIPE ORGAN.

    The regular course for graduation includes Organ, Theory, and Musical History. Aside from the position the organ holds as a means of culture, there is a growing demand for good organist, in churches as well as schools. The plan of work provides for thorough training in all that p:!rtains to a mastery of the organ for church and concert uses, including special exercises in play-ing church music and voluntaries, drill in technics and registra-tion.

    The course is arranged to give a knowledge of the different schools of organ music as represented by the best composers of each. There is a fine two manual organ in the chapel on which lessons are gIven and on which pupils may practice.

    HARMONY.

    Harmony is as necessary to a music student as grammar and rhetoric are to a literary student. It not only gives a student an insight into the structure of composition, but also helps him to read music with greater facility. There will be two classes; the first year's class will study Harmony proper, and the second year's class will study advanced Theory, including counterpoint. strict and free, imitation, Canon, Fugue, and Form.

    HISTORY OF MUSIC,

    All students are required to take one year in Musical History No student can render intelligently any composition unless he

    is familiar with the life and characteristics of the composer, and knows something of the period in which he lived.

  • CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 45

    RECITALS.

    Public recitals by both the faculty and the pupils are given from time to time. All pupils who are competent to take part are expected to do so at the request of the Director. These perform-ances give pupils greater freedom before the public, and also give them confidence in themselves.

    LESSONS MISSED.

    Only in cases of sickness will lost lessons be made up. Lessons occuring on National Holidays are not counted out.

    MUSIC.

    All music that pupils requi~e from time to time will be sup-plied by the teachers at reduced rates.

    RULES.

    Pupils are required to pay tuition strictly in advance. Sheet music must be paid for when obtained or as soon thereafter as possible.

  • Jlrt Cf)epartmen t. The class in Free-hand Blackboard Drawing is open, without

    extra charge, to all members of the institution who desirc to en-ter it; others will be clxuged $3.00 per tcrm.

    Pencil and Crayon Drawing, and Painting in Oil and \Vater Colors are extra studies. The terms are low and thc instruction thorough. Spccial attention is given to study from lite, composi-tion, designing, and qualifying pupils for teaching.

    In Painting and Drawing, a regular course will be pursued, and Diplomas awarded to such as complete it.

    The coursc includes studies from flat, object-drawing, studies from casts, mechanical (irawing, linear perspective, fruits, flowers and landscapes in still life, animals, portraits, and the human figure.

    In all these studies, the aim is to teach the pupils to see, to think and to do, ilH\ependently of the teacher; and not merely to make artist~ of the few who can spend the requisite time, but to cultivate the imitative faculties and love of the beautiful in all who pursue thcm.

    The terms are as follows:

  • ART DEPAKDIE:-iT.

    The method of teaching Drawing, and the end aimed at in the school, can be best expressed by a quotation from Ruskin:

    "Therefo['~. :he chief aim and bent of the following system is to obtain, first, a perfectly patient-~and to the utmost of the pupil's power, a delicate ~mcthod of work, such as may insure his seeing truly. For I alllnearly convinced that whcn once we sce keenly enough, there is very little difficulty in drawing what we see; but even supposing that this difficulty be still great, I belicve that the sight is a more important thing than the drawing; and I would rather teach drawing, that the pupils may learn to love ~ ature, than teach the looking at Nature, that they may learn to draw."

    Summer Term, hegins on Tuesday aftcr Commencement, and continues six weeks.

  • General Information. How to reach Wheaton. If on the Freeport or Iowa

    lines of the Chicago and ~orthwestern Railway buy your ticket for \Vheaton and come direct. If on the Burlingtor. lines buy your ticket to Aurora, Ill, and then transfer to the Northwestern. If east or north of Chicago buy your ticket to Chicago and then transfer to the Northwestern. It is only twenty,five miles from Chicago to Wheaton and the fast trains make the distance in thirty'eight minutes.

    What to do on arrival at Wheaton. Leave your baggage at the station, hold your check, and come at once to the College. If you wish a room in the College Buildings you can select it and have your baggage brought up; if you wish a room in a private family you will find help in selecting a suitable place.

    How much will it cost me at Wheaton? That depends. You will find expenses for board, room rent, etc., detailed else-where. If you wish to reduce the cost write to the President who will tell you of various ways in which it can be done. Two hun-dred dollars per year will enable one to live comfortably though some use more than that sum and others less.

    We desire our friends to observe that for sixty dollars per term or one hundred eighty dollars per year young women can have room rent, heat, light, tuition, and board in our new and beautiful hall. It will be well for those desiring rooms next year to make application to Miss Dow at once.

    What Course of Study do you recommend? \Ve have three four'year courses as exhibited in the pages preceding. We advise all students to select some course of study and pursue it faithfully until it is completed. Our Literary Course is intended

  • GENERAL INFORMATION. 51

    for those wishing modern European Languagfis and English. High School graduates who have done good work can enter the Freshman Class in that course. Those who have taken a Clas-sical course in a good High School will do better in the Scientific or Classical course.

    When must one enter? Studenti may enter at any time in the term or year. Those WHO come in late cannot choose their work so easily nor pursue it so successfully as can those who are in at the beginning. It is usually best to be prompt at opening and save a little time at the close of the term if it is impossible to work the whole term.

    How long does it take for Business Course? One wh, has done high school work well can master the Stenographic or C;:ommercial Course in from three to six months. Those not so "ell fitted will require longer time, usually not less than nine months.

    Must every student take a regular Course? No. We ad-vise but do not require this. Students may wish to fit for some College other than our own, or they may wish to take Music, Art, or Business studies with others in College or Preparatory school. We permit free choice and accommodate all such persons as fully as possible.

    What can a person do to help Wheaton College? He may give money for current expenses, for endowment of professorships or scholarships, or for buildings. He may give books for the libra-ry, or apparatus for the laboratories, or specimens for the botan-ical or geological cabinets. He may take our catalogues and in-troduce us to possible students. He may provide for the College by will, in which case the bequest should run to, The Trustees of Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill.

    What are rents in Wheaton? They vary. If you wish to come to the city to remain for a term of years until your children are educated write to the President or any member of the Faculty. It will be a pleasure to furnish all information in our power.

    HALL PRIZES.

    AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CIVICS.

    [CALEB G. HALL PRIZE FUND.]

    The students of this institution are permitted to contest for the Hall Prizes of the American Institute' of Civics, as are stu-dents of all other Colleges in which that Institution has a repre· sen tati I'e.

    Theses must treat of American civic affairs, and have rela-tion to questions in Ethics, Civil Polity, Economics, Law, or History.

    The prizes consist of select volumes bearing on American civic affairs, and are accompanied by a handsomely engraved certi ficate of reward.

    l\Iembers of the Senior Class desiring to compete for said prizes should make the fact known to the President of the Col-lege, and present their theses very early in the spring term.

    SOCIETIES. BELTIONIAN ASSOCIATION.

    This Association was organized in September, 1855, as the Philomathean Society. It was the first literary society organize

  • 54 WHEATON COLLEGE.

    These meetings are always occasions of public interest. The As-sociation may well be proud of its members who have in years past graduated from the Institution, and are now filling important positions in life.

    EXCELSIOR ASSOCIATION.

    The Exce lsior Association was organized in 1872, being the result of the increasing number of students and the conviction that there was defini te work which required its organization. It was chartered by the state in 1882.

    As an inducement to skiil in oratory, the Alumni of the Asso-ciation have provided an ample fund the income of which is used in purchasing the prizes awarded to the successful competitors in the Annual Oratorical Contest. The success of these contests has been very marked. The Excelsior Lectureship was founded in 1891 for the purpose of contributing to the wider culture of the members by means of occasional lectures, during each year, delivered before the Association, in its hall.

    The meetings of the Association are held every Friday eve-ning of the College year in the Excelsior hall. The work of the Association has been uniformly characterized by that seriousness of purpose and unity of action which give power to the individual members and strength to the organization.

    KREITONIAN ASSOCIATION.

    The Kreitonian Association was organized in February, 1892. The large membership of the other gentlemen's societies, in the College rendered it desirable to have better facilities for those inexperienced in literary work.

    This Association affords opportunity for competition on equal terms among preparatory students and removes the embarrass-ment they wou!d feel in an Association com posed largely of more experienced debaters.

    Any male student in the Preparatory School will be heartily welcomed by this Association.

    JELIOlON ASSOCIATION.

    This year has been one of progress for the JElioian society. Our force of workers has increased till, at the present time, we number thirty~five strong.

    The debates of late have been very interesting indeed as has been shown by the ready response when open to the house and the thorough preparation of the leaders. The members have shown a growing interest in the important issues of the day. The delinquents have been very few, each member being glad to improve the opportunity of speaking before the society.

    We. appeciate more and more the great accomplishment of thinking while speaking before an audience. Long may the soci-ety live and flourish which offers us the privilege of attaining this end, and gives us, as young women of to>day, a refinement and culture not otherwise obtained in the college course.

    PHILALETHEAN SOCIETY.

    This Association was organized in March, 1893, to provide in-creased facilities for training young women in parliamentary practice, extemporaneous speaking, and general literary work.

    It has a neatly furnished hall on the third floor of the Woman's Building and an active membelship of over thirty.

    The Society meets every Friday night for regular work and gives the public a sample of its exercises in its annual open meet-ing.

  • \VHEATOX COLLEGE.

    Among the things r~quired of the studerts are: a proper de-portment; a decorous intercourse among themsel ves; a respectful treatment of their officers; not to leave town during term time, or their rooms during study-hours, or at night without permission; a punctual attendance upon all the prescribed exercises of the Col-lege, and upon public worship and Bible recitations on the Sabbath.

    And, that there may be no misunderstanding, the following things are positively disallowed: all offensive, indecent, profane language and behavior; playing at billiards, cards, and other games of chance; the use of intoxicating drinks and tobacco; at-tending any secret soc iety while connected with the College; all disorder in rooms for study, or in College buildings, or on College premises, particularly at night; injury to College property; throw-ing water, fire, or filth from the windows; desecration of the Sab-bath; the propagation of infidel sentiments; interchange of visits between the sexes in their private rooms, or the occupation of the same room for study, except in company with the family where they board; entering the marriage relation while members of the College; everything, in fact, inconsistent with the utmost propri-ety of intercourse between young ladies and young gentlemen, and therefore adverse to the most successful improvement of their minds and hearts.

    For any violation of these rules, or other disorderly conduct' any officer of the College has power to suspend a student until the next meeting of the Faculty.

    RULES ADOPTED BY THE FACULTY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE SOCIETIES.

    It is to be understood that the Literary Societies are a part of the Institut!on, and, as such, are not subject merely to their own regulations, but both the societies, and the individuals composing them, are, for any disorderly and factious conduct, amenable di-rectly to the Faculty, and will be dealt with in such a manner a~ good order may seem to require.

  • GENERAL T)oIFOR~IATIO)oI. 57

    The Faculty will, from time to time, make such regulations concerning the Literary Societies as may seem necessary to their efficiency and the good of the College. Those in existence at present are the following:

    1St. No person, not otherwise connected with the Institution shall be a member of any Literary Society with the exception of previous members who may be admitted to membership from term to term by special vote of the Faculty, and this exception is extended to members of the Senior class in \Vheaton High School who intend to enter the College at the opening of the next school yeJ.r. Persons thus admitted become so far forth members of the Institution, and subject to its discipline.

    2d. The societies shall adjourn at or before 10.30 P.:\[. 3d. Alterations in the constitutions of the societies are sub.

    ject to the approbation of the Faculty. 4th. There shall not be more than two public meetings in

    any term, and the entire program of the exercises shall be suh-mitted to the Committee on Rehearsals for approval or modifica-tion not less than one week previous to the date of any such meeting.

    5th. Members of a society guilty of factious or disorderly conduct will not be allowed to continue in the society.

    6th. Ko special meetings shall be held during study hours without special permission.

    7th. Gentlemen are not permitted to visit the ladies' societies without permission from the President, and ladies are not per-mitted to visit the gentlemen's societies without permission from the Lady Principal.

    MARKS.

    Students are marked upon their daily recitations on the scale of ten. The final examinations are marked by a committee ap-pointed by the Faculty. In making up the complete mark in each study, two written monthly examinations and a final exami-nation each count one-sixth. A grade of seven is required for ad-vancement. Those who are absent from any recitation or exami-

  • 58 WHEATON COLLEGE.

    nation are marked zero, but on presenting a satisfactory excuse may, atthe teacher's discretion, make up the lost work and receive credit therefor.

    No teacher will excuse any student from final examination in any class, unless deficient in term-marks, and intending to pursue the same study again, or to withdraw from the course in which it occurs. The standing of others who are, for good reason, excused by the Faculty, will be reserved until the beginning of the next or subsequent term, at which time, upon the payment of a fee of fifty cents, they will be examined and their standing made up from their term marks in the usual way.

    A record is kept of the standing of students.

    LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

    So great a portion of the year is allotted to vacation that it seems unnecessary for students to visit their friends during term-time, except for urgent and unforeseen reasons. The occasional loss of a day or two can not fail to have an injurious effect upon the standing and mental habits of a student. It is hoped that parents and guardians will not desire the students to be absent except when circumstances positively require. Leave of absence must be obtained of the proper officer.

    SPECIAL REGULATIONS.

    Athletic sports on the campus are forbidden between the hours of 8:30 A. M. and 3:15 P. M.

    Evening study hours begin in the Fall and \Vinter Term at 7 P. M., and in the Spring Term at 7:30 P. M.

    All students who remain in Wheaton over Sunday are re-quired to attend services at the College Chapel on Sabbath morning and Bible recitations in the same place, unless some oth-er place of worship is designated for them in writing by their parents or guardians.

    Attendance upon 5abba-th evening services is voluntary, but those who do attend such services, are expected to be present at the same placl' as that selected for attendance in the morning.
