A STATEMENT-HORTATORY.

The officers of the College are glad to be aole to speak with encour­agement in regard to the outlook in general. It is confidently believed that the institution was never more prosperous. The number of students has reached the " high water mark" -and the increasingly large numbers that enter the ad vaneeu classes is very gratifying. There are now no debts to embarrass the finances of the College; and although the income from invested endowment, tuition fees and donations is sorpewhat larger than in the past it is yet all too small to meet all the growing demands.

We, thel'efore, feel justified in pleading for a m(l)re adequate endow­ment, for a larger faculty of inst.ruclion and for new and more com­modious dormitories for students.

The F. A. Palmer bequest is not yet available and it is only by the strictest economy that the necessary expenses are fully met. It is our settled policy to couduct the business interests of the school on a cash' basis, aud no obligations are incurred finanCially. unless there are avail­able fun us, outside of endowment proper, to meet them when due. We feel that such a policy is not only wise and safe but that it is just to those donors who have contributed to the formation of the permanent endow­ment funds.

There is urgent need, however, of more money in order that m01'e good w01'k may be accomplished. It seems almost necessary to enhrge the outlay. We do not think it wise to increase the cost of tuition since the present low rates are intended to keep first-class advantages within the reach of young men and women of Iimitecl means; hence the college must appeal as do most similar schools to the churches, an 1 conferences and benevolent !Den and women who have meallS to aid the cause.

It is a hopeful sign when so many bequests are being arranged and executed in behalf of christian education, which is the best education, the only true education.

May we not have many voluntary responses to this appeal of Union Christian College during the year to come.

In behalf of the cause, L. J. ALDRICH, PRESIDENT.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSES OF STUDY.

The studies are arranged as nearly as practicable in the natural order. Students in different departments, pursuing the same branches, recite in the same classes.

Classical Course. To complete the classical course the student must obtain thi?-ty-six c?'edits for work done (required and elective) after enter­ing the Freshman year. The ?'equired work in the collegiate department is two years each of Latin, Greek, Mathematics and Sciences; also one year ea~h of Philosophy, Literature and History. The elective work in­cludes a large variety of subjects more distinctly professional. This course, when satisfactorily completed, entitles the candidate to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, (A. B.) .

Scientific Course. Students who take the Scientific Course omit the College Greek (two years) and take German (one year) and Higher Math­ematics (one year) 01' other elective branches instead. Thi?'ty-six credits are required in this course, as in the classical, and the candidate receives the degree, Bachelor of Science, (E. S) .

Theological Course-Classical. This course is design_ed to follow or supplement the collegiate courses, and is intended for those who are pre­paring for the Christian ministry. It leads to the degree Bachelor of Divinity and may be pursued in connection with the college work proper. To merit a degree the candidate is required to obtain thirty- six credits in the following required studies: Two years each of English Bible and Bib­lical Literature, College Greek and Latin, also two terms each of Sys tematic and Pastoral Theology, Homiletics, Church and General History, Rhetoric, Science and Literature, Ethics, Logic and Psychology.

Theological Course-English. This course does not lead to a degree. It omits the Greek, Latin and Hebrew of the classical course and requires

-14--

a record for twenty- seven credits. including three years of English Bible, one year each of English Grammar, History and Rhetoric; also two terms each of Homiletics, Theology, Church History, Science, Logic, Mental and Moral Philosophy. It is a good course for ministers who cannot take the classics for want of time and means.

Preparatory Courses-English and Classical. These courses are planned so as to enable the student to fit himself for the collegiate work proper in a thorough and speedy manner. English Grammar and Litera­ture, Mathematics to Geometry, the Elementary Sciences, United States History, ancient, Medi reval and Model'll History, two years of Latin and one of Greek are required for admission to the Freshman class. Students who come from commissioned high schools and other reputable institu­tions will be given credit, without examination, for all work done else­where, provided sllch work is properly accredited.

Normal Courses. The work in tbis course is designed primarily for teachers. It includes a wide range of studies which the progressive teacher must pursue in oreler to win the best success in his profession. This course may also be pursued in connection with the classical or scien­tific courses proper, and when completed will merit the degree Bachelor of Pedagogy.

In this course the Science of Education , Mental and Moral Science, His­tory, Language and Literature are specially emphasized.

Each Spring Term extra Normal classes are formed for review 1oo?-k preparatory to examination for teacher's license. The aim is to provide for those who teach during the fall and winter and hence cannot attend college during the entire year. Our review classes in the common branches are usually strong anel enthusiastic.

Special Courses. Under this head is classed the work arranged for In­strumental and Vocal Music, Penmanship, Bookkeeping, TypewriLing, Short Hand, Drawing, Painting, Oratory and Physical Culture. The tu­ition for these branches is extra. That is, the student who takes music, for example, in addition to regular college work, must pay pro ?'ata for the extra work taken in these special courses. (See table of expenses elsew here.)

It is often found to be very practicable, however, to do some technical work of this kind in connection with the fuller courses without detriment to either.

The courses offered· in the Special Departments are elsewhere described and will indicate the high grade of work done.

THE DEPARTMENTS CLASSIFIED.

Biblical Literature, Psyckology-Ethics.

PRES. ALDRICH, HEAD OF DEPAl{Tl\1ENT-Dl~. MCWHINNEY, ASSISTANT.

The work offered in this department is systematic and thorough . Be­ginning with the study of the Life of Christ, students in English Bible pursue the Harmony of the Gospels, The Acts of the Apostles, The Epis­tl~s and Revelation; also Old Testament History, The Pentateuch, Proph­eCles, Job and the Psalms. The aim is to study carefully and discuss in the class room all the salient points of the entire Bible during the three years' course. Some students elect English Bible who are not preparing directly for the ministry. The standard of preparation and examination required of the student is the same as in other branches.

The work in Theology prope1' is more professional and specific. It com­prises most of the branches usually offered in Theological Seminaries of high grade. The text-books employed are standard works, not confined to anyone denominational belief, but works of authors of unquestioned ability and soundness of Christian raith.

The study of Literature is being more emphasized in all the colleges and seminaries. Union Christian College has recently enlarged her work in Literature and the student may ha\Te an extended course of practical work in. this department. Shakespeare's Drama's, Scott's Poetical Works, Irv­ing's Sketch Book, Paradise Lost, and llUmerous selections from Longfel­low, Tennyson, Lowell, Whittier, Bryant and Holmcs are studied during the course, as well as the English Bible.

Logic, MentCtl and lI10ral Philosophy are each requircd in courses leading to a degree. Nothing can well take their place in a liberal training. Christian Ethics are at present taught by the lecture method.

rlathematics and Sciences.

PROF. McHENHY, HEAD OF DEPAR'nlENT.

The full course in mathematics is arranged to occupy five recitations per week for fifteen terms of school after the completion of Arithmetic. The aim is tQ inculcate in the student the power of exactness and rapidity in reckoning, of sharp, clear, quick thought, and of concise and sound reasoning. , The order of the studies and the time d,evoted to each can readily be seen by conSUlting the curriculum.

- 16-

Natural Sciences.

These comprise Chemistry, Mineralogy, Geology, Astronomy, Physics, Botany, Physiology and Zoology. Instruction in these branches is de­signed to be accurate, practical and thorough. The field of study is nature, and text-books are to be used as helps in interpreting nature. In inductive reasoning progress is made and truth attained by discovering the material embodiment of the Creator's ideas, so that we do truly think His thoughts after him. The creation is a realization of divine ideas, prepared for our study. We verily believe that the study of natural science properly pursued tends to increase faith in the Author of the two great books, the book of nature and the book of revelation.

The time devoted to each of the natural sciences is five recitation hours per week for the terms indicated in the curriculum.

Greek and German. PROF. HATTEN, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT.

The ,alue of German and Greek is admitted by all. "He that knows nothing of a foreign language knows nothing of his own." Une nation has bequeathed to another its rich legacy of literature, and the student of to·day finds an ever new delight in claiming as his own these word treas­ures. The English language is made up so largely of borrowed words, that it. gains deeper significauce when the derivation of these words is un­derstood.. Besides the pleaszb1'e that r esul t from the study of Greek and German there are many practical benefits in the line of greater ability to conceutrate thought, and increased power of observation and a stronger tendency to precision and accuracy in every detail of work.

The G1'eek 11)ork occupie~ two years in college and one year in the pre­paratory, five lessons per week.

GeTman is elective and may he pursued instead of Greek by those who take the Scientific Course.

Latin, Normal and Parliamentary Law.

PROF. WILKINSON, HEAD OF DEPARDlENT.

The latin langzbage, by common consent, takes a prominent place in a liberal education. The inductive method of recent ypars has served to make the study of the ancient classics more popular even than heretofore. In the hands of a live profesRol" employing live methods, the Latin is no longer a "dead language," but alive with interest as well as valuable for discipline. The work in this department contemplates a progressive

- 17-

course of four years, two preparatory and two collegiate, five lessons a week throughout.

The N01'mal 01' teacheTS' depaTtment is desigued to give a thorough and complete line of work for those who desire to rise in the profession of teaching. The common branches are reviewed , methods discussed and illustrated in the class room, and a systematic course in Mathematics, History, Science and Literature arranged for the various grades of ad­vancement. The work: also includes (for graduation) Pedagogy, Rhetoric, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Literature and Logic Students may enter this department at any time and pursue such branches as they are pre­pared to pursue with profit. During the spring term each year ex/m classes for teachers are organized. These classes are usually large and enthusiastic.

Oivil gove1'nment and practice in parliamentary usage is a part of the work required of all students.

English Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic.

PROF. WARD, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT.

The common bmnches lie at the foundation of good scholarship and there is no danger of being too thorough in them. Union Christian Col lege, however, does not believe it necessary for mature students to spend an abnormal amount of time on these branches in ordeI' to be very thor­ough in them.

The work laid out in this department is progressive aud contemplates such progress on the part of the earnest studeut that one year or less of faithful effort will complete these studies in a manner entirely satisfactory.

The College has no primary department, but simply provides for those who are old enough to do work in a standard text-book covering the sub­jects in hand.

Instrumental Music-Piano and Organ.

MISS HESS, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT.

This department is being emphasized. There is a decided advantage in pursuing Music in connection with an institution that maintains sev­eral other departments. The advantage, moreover, is mutual. Pupils of all grades stimulate each other in the work. The plan of the work in piano and organ provides for two regular lessons per week and from two to five hours of practice daily. Students pursning work in other depart­ments may also take music as their time permits. Many take but one les·

-18-

son per week, while keeping up regular work in other classes. The tui­tion for Piano and Organ is extra. [See list of expenses.]

Instrumental rtusic-Strings and Cornet. MR. STODDARD, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT.

Violin, Guitar, Orchestra and Band Instruments are taught systemati­cally and thoroughly. The course consists of foul' grades, beginning with the elementar:v principles of notation, construction and proper use of in­struments. The exercises, studies, &c., are presented in graded order in­cluding beginning and advanced work from the best authors. Thosewho are prepared frequently have opportunity to play at public recitals and concerts, also in connectiou with the choir of the college church.

Drawing and Painting. MISS FAIRFIELD, HEAD OF DEPAUTMENT.

The student pursuing art is led through the various stages of his depart­ment by progressive steps in the studio. He receives personal instruction in Crayon Work, Water Colors, India Ink, Oil, Landscapes, Portraits, &c.

The elementary principles of drawing are thoroughly inculcated, thus enabling the student to do original work in design, geometrical figures, animals, birds and trees.

The graduating course requires from two to three years, according to the aptnes& of the student and the class ~f work contemplated.

Business-Book~Keeping.

MR. CREAGER, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT.

New classes are organized at the beginning of each term. Anyone having taken book-keeping at any other time or school will be given credit for work done.

In theoretical work the student becomes familial' with making Daybook and Journal entries, opening and closing Ledger in both Single and Dou­ble entry; with all form of Inventories, Bills, Discounts, etc.; with books and fprms used in Shipping and Commission, Partnership, Railroading and Banking; also a complete course in Shorthand and Typewriting.

Practical Work.

"We learn to do by doing," the work is here actually performed. The student does manuscTipt work, transacting business on his own account,

. taking in partners at certain stages of his business, after which he passes - 19-

to the various offices which represent wholesale and retail houses, and lastly the Bank. During which time the studeut ismade thoroughly acquainted with all forms of negotiable papers-Checks, Notes, Drafts, Deeds, Mort­gages, by writing them as an actual transaction.

Short-Hand and Type-Writing.

The time is fast approaching when the education of no young person will be considered complete without a fair knowledge of short-hand and type-writing. We are living in a fast age, people write and travel by electricity. No one can afTord to write at the rate of only twenty-five or thirty words per minute when the mind is capable of thinking at the rate of 250 words per minute. To be a rapid type-writer and reporter is a • means by which time and labor can be made less.

Our course in this department gives opportunity to become skilled in all branches of the work expected of the practical stenographer and qper­ator. We use the best system and the best instruments in the market. Expenses are very low.

Penmanship.

MR C. L. DIW.

"The noblest acquisition of man is speech, and the most useful is writ­ing."

In order to elf'vate the standard of business writing and supply the de­mand for competent teachers in penmanship, a special course in penman-ship is provided, including daily drills. '

This course includes Plain Writing, Analysis, Blackboard Writing, Fancy Writing, Combinations, Card Writing, Flourishing, Designing and Fancy Lettering. Notice carefully the opportunity you have of becoming a fine penman.

Those completing the course receive a fine Diploma.

- 20-

Elocution and Physical Culture. MUSETTE OSLER STODDARD, HEAD OF DEPARnIENT.

The course consists of private and public work and regular class study in the Science of Elocution and Art of Expression.

Special attention is given to the Physical Exercise.. The needs of each student is noted, and such exercise as wi.ll afford strength and ease are adapted.

Free hand movements, Indian Clubs, Dumb Bells, Wands and Rings, both single and double, Posing Drills, Greek Postures, Pantomimes, etc., constitute a course of one year.

Club Contests will occur at different times during the year, at which a prize of $3 will be presented to the successful contestant.

There is a physical culture class each day. lhis affords systematic ex­ercise and an opportunity for every student to acquire this essential edu­cation.

Degrees and Diplomas. The Degree "Bachelor of Arts" is conferred upon students of good

moral character who complete, in a satisfactory manner, the Classical com'se; that of "Bachelor of Science" upon those who complete the Scien· tific COU1·se.

Graduates of the institution who have received the first degree will be entitled to the second degree [A. M. or M. S.] upon presenting satisfactory evidence of baving pursued at least three years of advanced study or suc­cessful expel1ence in one of the literary professions.

Diplomas of graduation [not degrees] are presented to all those who complete, in a manner satisfactory to the faculty and trustees, either of the shorter courses. These diplomas are in the form of "Certificates of Proficiency," and bear the seal of the college, together wiLh the signatures of the President and Secretary.

A fee of fiv e dolla1's is charged for either the first or second degree, and three dollars for a diploma representing a limited course.

Honorctry degrees are rarely conferred and are intended as a testimonial of advanced scholarship and special achievements.

Terms of Admission. Students may enter the institution at any time. It is, however, very

desirable that everyone should enter as near the beginning of the term as possible.

Those who apply for admission for the first time are requested to bring -21-

letters of recommendation from responsible persons. Those coming from other colleges must bring certificates of honorable dismission.

No student is regarded fully a member of the college until he has shown himself to be worthy of its privileges. Any student may be privately or publicly dismissed at the discretion of the faculty whenever his further conuection with the institution is not desired.

R.ules and R.egulations. These are not numerous or burdensome to the student. Every young

man and woman is treated with confidence and respect until found to be unworthy of the same. The rules are such as self-respecting students cheerfully endorse and obey. They are only such as long experience has tested, and found to be desirable in the administrat.ion of the school.

Among other things, the regulations call for a 13rompt attendance upon the regularly assigned duties or exercises of the school; and a conscien­tious regard to good personal habits and deportment in society.

The use of ardent spirits as a beverage is absolutely forbidden; also the use of tobacco and firearms in 01' about the college buildings.

Students of the opposite sex are permitted to visit each other in a gen­eral reception room only.

Those who are not willing to abide by these regulations need not ask · for admission.

The Ladies' Hall. The trustees have built and furnished a hall for the exclusive use of

young women who come from a distance, and who desire a convenient, home-like place under the immediate supervision of an experienced ma­tron.

Thc rooms are each about !)x12 feet, designed for two occupants, and are provided with a stove and stove furniture, two chairs [plain] table, bureau or dresser, carpet and bed. The price of a room thus furnished is $6 per term for each occupant. Those who prefer to room alone may do so, by permission, provided they pay $3 cxtra. Those who bring carpet and bed may diminish the room rent one-third. The Ladies' Hall pro­vides accommodations for about thirty young women; also a generalre­ception room or parlor, which is open to the students at all suitable hours.

Those especially interested in the Hall would like the hearLy co-opera­tion of parents and daughters that the influence of the Woman's Depart­ment may continue to widen and deepen for good. The world needs m01'e consecrated young womanhood.

THE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.

Literary.

The literary activity of the students finds a most wholesome stimulus in the work of the Franklin and Linconia Societies. These are open organi­)lations, conducted by the students themselves; and affording excellent opportunities for practice in Debate, Essays, Reviews, Oratory and Par­liamentary Usage. Both Societies admit ladies on equal terms with the young men, and both societies have large and neatly furnished halls.

R.eligious. The following associations for distinctly reUgious work are also main­

tained by the young men and women of the College. 1. The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, each

meeting weekly and each maintaining several Bible classes for its mem­bers, also classes for personal Christian work.

2. The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. This Society is under the auspices of the ChrisLian Church of the College, and its power is felt in the school for good, especially along the line of missions. The Societ.y has three of its representatives already at work in the city of T,okio Japan.

Church and Sunday School Privileges. Preaching services and Sunday School Bible classes are maintained

every Sabbath at the College Chapel, under the direction of the College Church.

There are also services at the M. E . Church iu the town each alternate Sunday evening.

Religion is not compulsory at Merom, but it is gratifying to find our students so generally preseut at the regular Sabbath services and also sharing in the responsibilities of the Church work of the community.

Libraries and R.eading R.oom. The library already contains nearly 3,800 volumes of standard and

reference books, and is rapidly enlarging from year to year. Works of Fiction, Biography, History, Science and Ethics have been selected with great care . Several of the best Dictionaries, Encyclopcdias, and Biblical Commentaries have already been added.

Through Lhe generosit.y of Prof. W. A. Bell, editor and proprietor of the Indiana School Journal, we have an excellent variety of miscellaneous

-23-

works, many of them practical helps in Bible study; also a new edition of the Encyclopedia Britanica.

The class of 1866, represented by ex-President T. C. Smith, Selma. Ingersoll and others, has added "Allen's Complete History of Civiliza­tion" and Spurgeon's "Treasury of David." Other members of the alumni association have made recent contributions in a substantial way.

A very valuable and welcome donation to the library was made a few years since by Hon. N. G. Buff, who presented almost his entire pdvate collection of between three and four hundred volumes. Mr. Buff was one of the founders of the college and a member of the first faculty and board of trustees.

A collection of forty volumes bequeathed by Rev. Phillip Zeigler, de­ceased, is very iimely. Brother Zeigler was formerly a trustee of the col­lege.

The reading rooms contain a good variety of first-class periodicals, in­cluding daily and weekly political journals, the North American Review, The Century, The Fornm, Review of Reviews, The Indiana School Jour­nal, Public Opinion, The New York Independent, Herald of Gospel Lib­erty, &c., &c. To all these periodicals the stndent has access f1'ee of charge. There is no extra fee for the use of books in the library.

Expenses.

The necessary outlay at Merom is chiefly for board. Board is very low. Other expenses will vary according to the personal habits of the student. Sound economy and industry are encouraged. Parents and guardians alie requested to examine carefully into this matter of unnecessary personal expenses which so often hinder rather than help a yonn£1; per~on in secUl-­ing an education,

The following may be considered a fair estimate of thij cost at Union Christian College for a term of twelve weeks: T~tition, full work in any single department. Board, including furnished rooms. Ln~md1'y, "litel and light. . . _ . . . Books and stationery ("rent plan") .

Total for twelve weeks . . . .

6.00 2.00

$10.00 30.00 8.00 2.00

..... $36.00 to $50.00 There are n'o extra charges except for Instrumental Music, Art, Pen­

manship, Commercial, Elocution and the use of instruments. The charge for Instrumental Music is $6.00 for one-half term and $10.00 for full term

-24:-

of 24 lessons, piano, organ or string. Art is from $5.00 to $10.00, accord­ing to the grade of the work done. Penmanship from $1.00 to $2.00 pel' term for daily lessons. A single study additional in College Instru­mental Music, Art or Commercial, will be $3.00 extra; two or more stud­ies, $2.50 each. The use of instruments is from $1.50 to $2.00 pel' term for each hour of daily practice.

Physical a~tltU1'e and Elocution is from $1.00 to $2.00 per term for daily lessons and practice.

Vocal Music isj7'ee to all members of the school, one lesson pel' week; also chorus drill in connection with the choir.

Opportunities for Self. Help.

While the college authorities do not contract to furnish positions for all who may apply, we do enconrage, in every way possible, faithful and in­dustrious young people who need to earn means to pay their way in school. Many young men pay a large part of all their expenses by manual labor. Others. teach as thbY are prepared. Yonng women also find opportunity to help themselves in various lucrative employments. A number practice self-boarding.

Positions Secured.

Members of the faculty are in frequent correspondence with agencies .and parties desiring well trained men and women for lucrative positions in the various callings of 'business, teaching and the gospel ministry. It has 'been a pleasure for us to recommend the worthy for these positions in the past, and a satisfaction to be assured that our graduates have proved so uniformly successful in the positions to which they have been called.

How to R.each Merom.

The college and towp are located on a high and picturesque bluff over­looking the Wabash River and Lamotte Prairie in the State of Illinois. Those coming from the North or South in Indiana can take the E. & T. H. H. R, getting off at Sullivan, the county seat, thence to Mero m J~mction via of the I. & r. S. R R Those who come from the North or South in Illinois will take the Big Four or Illinois Central to Robinson, thence to Merom by the r. & r. S. Students living East of Merom can connect with the Merom trains at Switz City. Those living West, with the trains from Effingham, Ill. The college buildings are two miles distant from the sta-tion. .

-25-

Telegraph Communications.

The Railroad Company has a neat and comfortable station at Merom Junction, also very good telegraph facilities. Messages and express may be received or sent to or from Merom direct. Four trains are scheduled to pass Merom daily, between Effingham and Switz City.

Students who request it beforehand will be met either at Merom Junc­tion, Sullivan or Hutsonville and conveyed to the college at reduced rates.

TEACHERS' CLASSES.

Special.

A department of Pedagogy is maintained for the special training of public school teachers.

Year by year the standards are being raised, and this is well. The work of primary instruction demands the best minds thoroughly equip­ped. The field is most attractive and hopeful.

The Union Christian College claims to do her full share in providing for tho demand of the age, by sending out those who are prepared to teach.

We aim to meet the wants of those teachers whose terms of work In the public schools close about thA last of March, and who desire to qualify _ themselves for advanced positions in the profession of teaching.

The CO)DION BRANCHES are thoroughly reviewed-NORllAL METHODS discussed and practiced: Mental and M01'al Ecience-, Pedagogy, Botctny, Zoology, Philosophy, Book-keeping, Penmanship, ShoTt Hand and M~tsic are each taught by experienced professors.

A course of lectures by members of the faculty and distinguished edu­c~tors from other institutions is given at least once a year. The topics discussed are such as the following: Psychology and Child Stuely, Ethics. Methods of Or'ganization and Gover'nment-Hygiene, etc. . As fal: as possible opportunity is given for definite practice in giving lllstructlOll by modern methods, under the critical supervision of experi­enced professors.

More than forty men and women, students at Merom within the past year, are now employed in actual teaching in counties adjoining the Col­lege.
