THE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE.

Trinity College had its origin in Union Institute, a school of academic grade, located in northwest corner of Randolph County, North Carolina. It was opened to meet a local demand on the part of leading citizens for educational advantages for their children.

The late Rev. Dr. Brantley York was principal of Union Institute" from 1838 , the year of its foun- dation, to 1842. Rev. B. Craven, then elected Principal, remained in office from 1842 to 1851.

With the year 1851 this institution entered upon the second stage of its history. It was rechartered then as Normal College, the leading purpose of which was the training of teachers for the public schools.

Before the end of this decade it had outgrown its distinctly normal purpose and considerably enlarged its curriculum. In 1859 it assumed for the first time the charter of a college. The North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, then convening at Beaufort, accepted the the transfer of the property and rechartered it under the name of Trinity College.

The first class graduated in 1853. From that date to the outbreak of the civil war, the institution enjoyed an unusual degree of prosperity.

During the civil war its prosperity was of course

greatly reduced. In 1 863 President Ganv^M resigned, and Prof. W. T. Gannaway, then a member of the Faculty, was placed in charge as acting President. He held the position till the close of the war, in 1 865, the work of instruction being interrupted only from the time of the encamping of troops on the College grounds in the Spring of 1864, until the following January, an interval of about five scholastic months. Dr. Craven was re-elected President and the Col- lege resumed its work in the beginning of January, 1866. Following this, the history of the College is one of heroic endeavor to restore its fortunes and re- gain its former degree of success. The building of the College chapel was begun in 1873, and finally completed in 1875 About 1883 the first bequest was made by Dr. Siddle, of North Carolina, for the endowment fund. The death of its President, Dr. Craven, November 7, 1882, was a heavy loss to the progress of the Institution. At once Prof. W. H. Pegram, then a member of the Faculty, was made Chairman, in which capacity he served till June, 1883, when the Rev. Dr. M. L. Wood was elected President of the College. In December, 1884, Pres- ident Wood resigned and Prof. Heitman was chose* Chairman of the Faculty. In June, 1887, John F. Crowell, A. B., (Yale) was elected to the presidency, which office he held till June 1894 John C. Kilgo was elected to the presidency August 1, 1894.

Trinity College Park, the site of the College build- ings, consists of sixty-two and a half acres of land, formerly known as Blackwell's Park, on the west side of the city. It has been laid out in walks, bou-

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. 11

levards, drives and streets, connecting it with the new building sites of the land companies on. every side — north, east, south and west.

The points of special importance are — (i.) The whole Park is owned by the Board of Trustees of Trinity College. (2.) Its elevation is as good as could be desired. (3.) It is dry and cool in summer. (4.) It has a half-mile athletic track in the center. (5.) There are thirteen acres of ath- letic grounds. (6.) It is one of the healthiest loca- tions in Piedmont North Carolina. The buildings in use are —

1. The Main College Building.

2. The College Inn.

3. The Technological Building.

4. The Seven Residences for the Faculty

and Officers.

1. The Main Building is a three-story brick building, covered with slate, lighted with electric lights, heated with warm air, and ventilated by the famous Ruttan Warming and Ventilating system — a widely approved system for supplying pure air, warm or cold, and removing vitiated atmosphere from a building This is the system in use in over forty of the government school buildings in Wash- ington, D. C.

There are : (1) Nearly sixty dormitories on the second and third floors ; (2) Also twelve lecture- rooms and offices ; (3) Bathing apartments on every floor except the first ; (4) The dry-closet system ; (5) Underground drainage from the inside and from the surface about the building ; (6) A basement 208x50 feet, the size of the building, thus rendering the building proof against unsanitary conditions. (7)

12 TRINITY COLLEGE.

Finally, it may be well said to be the "most com- plete college building in the State," in point of ven- tilation, architecture, comfort and modern con- veniences. 2. The Technological Building containing, i) The School of Chemistry.

2) The School of Physics.

3) The School of Biology.

4) The Museum.

There are in this building separate apartments for each of these schools, including (1) two laboratories, (2) three lecture rooms, (3) one carpenter-shop, (4) one machine-room, (5) a museum of specimens, and (6) a dynamo-roorn.

' 37~*ThE-College lNJSL-£-This is a college building of extraordinary merit, both in architectural design and in point of utility. It contains 75 dormitories, two parlors, the college chapel, a dining-room hav- ing a seating capacity of 250 and a waiting-room. It is heated by warm air and lighted by electricity. Its sanitary arrangements are complete, including bath-rooms and water-closets on each main floor.

4. The Residences of the Faculty and Of- ficers of the College are mostly on Faculty Ave- nue in the College Park. They are furnished with bath-rooms, cold and hot water, are connected with the city water works, and lighted by electric lights.

Nearly all of the buildings in the College Park are lighted with electricity, furnished by a 720 light dynamo installed by the General Electric Company of New York.

ADiMISSION TO THE COLLEGE.

I. GENERAL REGULATION.

All persons applying for admission to College should be at least fifteen years of age.

Before anyone can be granted admission to classes he shall first furnish evidence of his fitness to enter upon the courses which he desires to take. This he will do either by a stated examination or by con- sultation with the respective instructors in charge of the classes he proposes to enter.

Students bringing certificates of proficiency in subjects required for admission to the Freshman class only, from preparatory schools on the "Schol- arship List," will be admitted without examination.

Applicants who desire to take advanced courses will be examined upon any or all preceding courses necessary to determine their fitness to do so.

Students from other colleges of like grade, will be credited with work already finished. They are required to present certificates giving their standing at the institutions from which they came.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE.

Applicants for admission to the Freshman class, will be examined on the following subjects :

(i.) Mathematics. — Algebra toQquadratic Equa-

13

14 TRINITY COLLEGE.

tions. Wentworth's "Elements of Algebra" is rec- ommended for preparatory work.

(2.) Latin. — Four books of Caesar's Gallic War and first two books of Virgil's ^Eneid or their equiv- alents. The student must be able to convert simple English prose into Latin.

(3.) Greek. — Two books of Xenophon's Anabasis.

(4.) English. — The knowledge of grammatical constructions and inflexions, such as may be ob- tained from Hyde's "Lessons in English," or Whit- ney's "Essentials of English Grammar." (2.) El- ementary Rhetoric and principles of composition, found in Gennung's "Outlines of Rhetoric." (3) Reading. — Evangeline, The Sketch Book, Lady of the Lake, some first class English novel — such as Ivanhoe,— The Merchant of Venice. Emphasis is especially laid on this last requirement. The Pre- paratory Schools need to require students to read some of the easier works of literature, suited to per- sons of that age.

(5.) History. — American History, as much as can be found in Johnston's, Montgomery's, Hansell's, or any similar book used in High Schools.

3. MATRICULATION. The terms of the collegiate year open at the be- ginning of September and of January. For each of these terms a matriculation fee of five dollars is paid at the beginning of the term, before admission to any of the privileges of the Institution. No in- structor will admit any applicant to any of his classes without the proper credentials — the matriculation card from the Treasurer. Application should be made for matriculation at the College office on the day of arrival at the College.

THE DESCRIPTION OF COURSES.

The tendency to multiply in colleges the number of lower degrees must result in lessening the stan- dards of educational work. These degrees render college diplomas very indefinite, and give to grad- uation no fixed meaning. Colleges can never fulfill their purposes by entering the field of preparatory schools. Trinity College, therefore offers only one graduate degree — Bachelor of Arts, the highest col- lege degree. But it offers three equally arranged courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

COURSE A.

Applicants for admission to Freshman Class in this course will be examined on Mathematics, Latin, Greek, English and History. (See Requirements for Entrance.)

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS.

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY.

PROFESSOR CRANFORD. JUNIOR YEAR.

In the Fall Term of Junior year two hours a week are devoted to the study of Logic.

This course begins with a brief historical introduction, giving the origin, the uses and the abuses of the science of Logic. The course is conducted on the theory that Logic is a safeguard against error, and in accordance with this theory, the great natural fundamental sources of error in reasoning are kept before the mind of the student ; and he is required, by written or oral applications, to show how each subordinate portion of the subject plays its part in guiding the reason to sound conclusions. In Deduction special attention is given to Definition, to Syllogistic Analysis, to popularizing syllogistic and syllogizing popular arguments, and to the correction of Fallacies. In Induction all the Fundamental principles of modern scientific methods are investigated and applied in written exercises. Text: William Minto's, with references.

In the Spring of Junior year two hours a week are devoted to the study of Philosophy.

This course investigates all classes of facts of human con. sciousness, attempts scientifically to describe and explain these facts, and to point out their significance in all realms of know- ing, feeling and doing. The student is encouraged to compare

21

»2 TRINITY COLLEGE.

the statements found in text and reference-books with those found by reflection and analysis of his own states of conscious- ness. The free and frank discussion of leading topics is always encouraged and often required, not at random, but from papers written for the purpose. Results of reference reading are required to be brought in on paper. Text: J. Mark Baldwin's reference, Ladd, Sully, Janes, Davis, etc.

SENIOR YEAR.

The Senior year will be devoted to the study of the Introduction to Philosophy (Stuckenberg); His- tory of Philosophy (Schwegler). Reference, to Erd- mour, Ueberweg, Lewis Zaller, and others. Prin- ciples of Ethics, Bowne.

SCHOOL OF ENGLISH. PROFESSOR MIMS.

The chief aim of this department is to arouse the students to a realization of the value of the best lit- erature in widening the mental horizon and culti- vating- the expression of thought. From the very first the masterpieces of English Literature are put into the hands of the students ; as many as possible are studied carefully in the class-room, while others are read as parallel work, which, however, is dis- cussed in the class under the guidance of the Pro- fessor. All details — grammatical, philological, and irrelevant matters — are subordinated to the aim of getting at the thought and beauty of the literature studied. Great poems and prose pieces are looked

28 TRINITY COLLEGE.

upon not merely as offering material for technical work, but as having in them the best thought and life of our best authors.

In teaching literature is found the best way of teaching Rhetoric, Composition and Grammar. As Prof. Corson says, the extensive and sympathetic reading of good authors is the best means of enlarg- ing the student's vocabulary, of cultivating a nice sense of the force of words, and of speaking and writing good English. Composition cannot be taught by a set of rules. Rhetoric is good only as it finds illustration and fuller meaning in literature, and Grammar itself is best appreciated as it is seen in models of grammatical usage.

Philology is considered as a graduate study, al- though words of striking and special significance afford opportunity for noting the origin and devel- opment of language. An elective course is given in Anglo-Saxon and Middle English for those who intend to pursue philological work at some univer- sity.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND POLIT- ICAL SCIENCE.

PROFESSOR BASSETT.

The work in this department has been arranged in two periods of study. It is expected that the first two years of the College course will be devoted to acquiring a knowledge of the merely narrative part of history. During this time the student will be collecting materials. The two following years will be devoted to a review of the same period but with the purpose of examining the institutions of the nations, the stories of whose lives have already been learned. The Junior year will be given to the de- velopment of European institutions, and the Senior year to the development of American institutions.

In addition, one hour a week will be spent in dis- cussing contemporary events. It is believed that this training will give a young man the historical knowledge necessary to study the problems of prac- tical life or to pursue advanced studies at an insti- tution of higher learning.

The regular text-book work will be supplement- ed with lectures, parallel readings, and written re- ports on the same. The upper classes will be ex- pected to consult reference books fully, and to prepare papers on assigned topics. An essay or an abstract may be allowed to replace an examination.

methods of securing an abundance of material wealth, and of distributing it justly, and of using it for the highest purposes.

The principles of Christianity are applied to ec- onomic life. All the great questions affecting the welfare of human beings are treated in a connected and systematic order.

The students are confined to text-book work the first year. The general principles of Political Econ- omy are taught by drilling and quizzing. In the second year the work is confined to lectures. The students take notes and are subject to frequent drills and quizzing. They are encouraged to form their own opinions about Social Problems by original in- vestigations and preparation of papers. During the past two years many of these papers have been of such character as to merit publication in the lead- ing newspapers of our State.

SCHOOL OF GERMAN. PROFESSOR ARNOLD.

The plan triat is to be pursued here has been well expressed by Prof. Babbitt, formerly of Harvard : "There are at least four distinct objects that can be

34 TRINITY COLLEGE.

aimed at in the study of a modern language, — abil- ity to speak the language, to understand it when it is spoken, to write it correctly, and to read it at sight. Of these the last is the only one which is of any direct use to nine-tenths of the students in our schools and colleges. The others have their place, but, under existing circumstances, those students for whom such results are of consequence can attain them quite as well after acquiring a practical read- ing knowledge of the language. Reading at sight, therefore, provides the most practical common ground upon which all beginners in a modern lan- guage can unite to take their first steps ; and it very properly forms the almost exclusive aim of the first vear's work in most of our colleges.

After a boy has studied Latin or Greek, the rel- atively much smaller amount of grammar work in the modern languages presents no great difficulty, and it is best kept subordinate to actual reading, ' which should be begun as early as possible. Still a certain amount of grammar is necessary ; and the earlier and more thoroughly the student masters this, the more rapid will be his progress in reading."

In this School there are two classes each of which meets at least three times a week.

I. Freshman. Four hours a week. Exercises twice a week.

SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY. PROFESSOR PEGRAM.

The work of this School is embraced in two courses, as follows:

36 TRINITY COLLEGE.

I. GENERAL CHEMISTRY.

This course consists of three lectures a week during the Junior year. One lecture per week may- be substituted by two hours of laboratory work. The character and scope of the lectures are indi- cated by the following partial list of topics treated:

(1) The relation of heat, light and electricity to chemical phenomena; (2) The nature and laws of chemical changes; (3) Chemical nomenclature; (4) Chemical formulae, both em- pyrical and constitutional; (5) Atomic theory; (6) Valence; (7) Chemical calculations ; (8) The elements considered as to their physical and chemical properties, their occurrence in nature, the methods of obtaining them in a free state, and their leading compounds; (9) Combustion; (lo) Reduction; (11) The leading compounds of carbon; (12) Industrial applica- tions of Chemistry; (13) Chemical Philosophy.

The laboratory exercises are intended to develope skill in the preparation and use of apparatus, a practical knowledge of the elements and their com- pounds, and the power to learn of nature by obser- vation and experiment. General Chemistry is taught by lectures and text-books, and by experi- ments conducted by the instructor in the presence of the class. Thorough drill in writing and inter- preting chemical equations, in making stoichio- metrical calculations, and in solving chemical problems, constitutes a leading feature of the course. Essays on special topics, demanding ex- tensive parallel reading, are required at times instead of regular lectures and recitations. The course is well designed to meet the wants of those who wish to gain a general knowledge of Chem- istry and of the methods used in the study of nature; for those who wish to enter the School of

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS. 37

Analytical Chemistry with the view of becoming analytical chemists, teachers of chemistry, or origi- nal investigators; and also for those who purpose entering the professional schools of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The Chemical Laboratory, Lecture-room and Store-room are on the third floor of the Techno- logical Building. The laboratory is large, well- lighted and ventilated; and its equipment consists of an ample variety of apparatus and chemicals, desks and lockers, water from the city hydrant, gas, furnaces, balances, and a well-selected refer- ence library.

Text-books — Remsen's Introduction to the Study of Chemis- try ; Remsen's Laboratory Manual ; Remsen's Inorganic Chem- istry.

Reference-book* — Fownes' Elementary Chemistry ; Roscoe & Schorlemmer's Elements of Chemistry; Watts' Dictionary of Chemistry ; Meyer's Modern Theories of Chemistry.

II. ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.

This course requires six hours per week of labor- atory work during the Senior year.

Fall Term — Qualitative Analysis. Six hours per week. Spring Term — Quantitative Analysis. Six hours per week.

Qualitative Analysis embraces: (1) The re-actions of the ele- mentary and compound radicals with various re-agents; (2) Methods of separation (a) of the metals and (b) of the acid radicals; (3) Use of the blow-pipe; (4) Use of the spectroscope; (5) Systematic analysis of unknown salts, and complex mix- tures of inorganic substances.

In Quantitative Analysis the gravemetric and volumetric methods of determining percentage composition are prsented.

38 TRINITY COLLEGE.

The student begins with the analysis of simple salts, and pro- ceeds to the complete analysis of minerals, ores, soils and mineral waters.

Text-books and Works of Reference — Appleton's Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis ; Fresenius' Qualitative and Quan- titative Analysis ; Kairns' Quantitative Analysis ; Cornwall's Blowpipe Analysis; Wanklyn's Water Analysis; Ricketts' Notes on Assaying.

DEPARTMENT OF BIBLE STUDY. JNO. C. KILGO.

The course in the Bible extends over four years and is required of every student. It is the object of this department to acquaint the student with the truths of Divine revelation, and to train him in the true methods of interpretation. The doctrines of human nature and its redemption will be the sub- jects of supreme interest. Special attention will be given to the evidences of Christianity. The supe- rior character of the ethics of Christianity will be emphasized. The course will therefore include the parallel study of those subjects that will aid in a proper study of the Bible.

Each student should provide himself with an Oxford Teacher's Bible, or some other good refer- ence Bible.

PROFESSOR JEROME DOWD.

ONE YEAR COURSE.

The object of this department is to fit young men for commercial life. Owing to the number of in- structors and the facilities offered by the library and literary societies, a young man who is unable to obtain a complete education can spend a year here to much better advantage than he could at an ordinary business college.

GENERAL INFORMATION.

THE CHOICE OF A COLLEGE.

There is no question that involves so much as the choice of the college at which a young man is to be educated. Colleges have characters as well as in- dividuals, and each college makes men after its own type. In the choice of a college therefore, is the choice of the principles that will constitute the el- ements of the future character.

The college should be positively christian. That is it should have a positive faith in Christ, and this faith should be the controling influence of the col- lege. The Bible should be emphasized and as much importance should be given to Paul as to Plato.

It should be a college free from the fads of social vagaries and dissipations. These not only cost money, but endanger character and dissipate all purposes to study.

It should be a college where the student can have personal access to his professors. Mere professional relations cannot inspire the noblest purposes. These are born out of personal relations.

It should be a growing college. Men and col- leges sometimes get grown and fossilize. Only grow- ing professors can create energy in their students. These are some of the items that should control in

43

44 TRINITY COLLEGE.

such an important choice. The monetary cost should always be subordinated to these higher ends.

ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION.

Trinity College is the only male literary college in North Carolina located in a city. Our ancestry thought that it would endanger the moral character of students if colleges were located in towns or cities, but the facts have long since refuted their ideas, and most all the large colleges and universities are located in towns and cities. The educational in- fluences of such environments are necessary. Stu- dents enjoy advantages in a city not to be had else- where, and come in contact with the questions that are prominent in the minds of the nations. ' They enjoy the best social and religious influences. Any young man's education is crippled who is denied these advantages.

THE CITY OF DURHAM.

Trinity College is located in Durham, a city of more than 8000 inhabitants. It is in easy reach of every section of North Carolina by the Southern, Lynchburg & Durham, Oxford & Clarksville, and Durham & Northern railroads. No city in North Carolina has had such marvellous growth. It is one of the largest manufacturing centers in the South, and its factories are universally advertised. Its name and enterprise hayebeen carried to every civ- ilized nation of the earth. The inspiration- which

GENERAL INFORMATION. 43

a young man gets from such marvellous business successes is itself no small part of an education.

The society of Durham is cultured and elegant, yet free from any of the evils that poison social life. No Southern town is blessed with larger hearted philanthropists. The monuments of their gener- osity will inspire the most magnanimous impulses in the minds of Trinity College students.

HEALTH.

The climate of Durham is mild and invigorating, and the health of the people is good.

The official record shows that the mortality of Durham for some years past has been less in pro- portion to population than any town in the State. There nas not been an epidemic of any kind in the past quarter of a century. Trinity College is sup- plied with water from the city water works. This water is thoroughly filtered and is free from impu- rities. The Watts Hospital furnishes ample pro- visions for the most scientific treatment of any crit- ical sickness.

CHURCHES.

Durham is a city of churches and a church- going people. In and around Durham 'there are about twenty churches of the various denomina- tions. These churches are thoroughly organized with all social and religious societies for the young, and the churches of no city have more influence upon the young people.

46 TRINITY COLLEGE.

These are only a few of the very many facts that make Durham a superior location for a college, and that secure to a college student the best advantages in the enviroments of his life.

EXPENSES.

Expenses at college vary largely according to the habits of the student. Ever}' item of expense has been reduced to the lowest possible amount for the advantages offered. All necessary college expenses can be met with $175.00 to $200.00.

Room Rent and Janitor's Fee . . $ 7 50 to $ 12 50 per term.

All students in Chemistry are required to a Labo- ratory Fee of $3.00 per term. Diploma Fee of $5.00 is required of each graduate, payable at graduation.

The itemized statement includes the care of rooms in which everything in the way of furniture is pro- vided, including two single beds with springs, hair mattresses and feather pillows; wash-stand, bureau, table, chairs; it also includes the free use of bath- rooms, hot and cold water, heat from furnaces day and night, light from the college dynamo, the use of the college libraries, the reading-room and all com- forts and conveniences belonging to the college.

GENERAL INFORMATION. 47

Each student furnishes for himself a change or more of blankets, sheets, pillow-slips and towels.

Special items of expense are the following: Com- mencement Fee, $2.50, payable to the Literary Societies; Commercial Certificate, $1.00; Labora- tory Fees, covering cost of breakage and material consumed in laboratory courses.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RENTING ROOMS.

All charges are due at the Book-room immediately after the opening of the term, and must be paid in full before the term closes.

No room will be rented for less than a term.

Each ocaupant will be liable only for his own charges, and no occupant will be allowed to rent or sublet 1 room to another occupant.

Wheh a room is once accepted and assigned to a student, no change will be permitted except upon permission of the President. Leaving one room without such permission and occupying another is strictly against the rule and will render the offender liable to full charges for both rooms for the entire term.

No deduction will be made from the regular rates of rent, heat or light for entering after the begin- ning or leaving before the end of the term, except in cases of absence due to sickness of a month's duration or more. Such a deduction will be only one dollar a month from each of the three items.

Every occupant is held responsible for the condi- tion of his room, and is required to keep it in decent order. Occupants are likewise held strictly respon- sible for disorders occurring in, or issuing from a

48 TRINITY COLLEGE.

room, and must make good any damage to furni- ture and fixtures beyond necessary wear and tear.

Any occupant whose presence may be deemed injurious, is liable at any time to be deprived of his room at once upon notice from the President.

Tampering with electric lights is strictly forbid- den. For repairs, application must be made at the office.

N. B. — Persons who have no reasonable expecta- tion of being able to pay their rent, heat and light bills zvhen due, are 7iot advised to enter eollege.

PRIVILEGED STUDENTS.

The sons of ministers and young men studying for the ministry are exempt from paying Tuition. They are required to pay all other college fees. Worthy young men who cannot pay Tuition are allowed, in some instances, to give their notes tor it, payable after they have finished their education. Candidates for the ministry, who are not the sons of preachers, are required to give theii notes for Tuition. If they enter the regular ministry within three years after leaving college, these notes are surrendered to them, otherwise they will be col- lected.

TIME OF ENTRANCE.

Attention is invited to this paragraph.

"Patrons of the college are earnestly requested to- take care that their boys are present on the 4th day of September, when the entrance examinations are

GENERAL INFORMATION. 49

held, the classes organized and the recitations begun. Those who enter after this time necessarily lose some part of the instruction, and are thus at a disadvan- tage in comparison with their more punctual class- mates. Students that delay their coming for a few weeks usually find themselves hopelessly behind, and are thus forced to drop into lower classes. Let it be especially noted that the middle of the session is not the time for entrance, for, as the classes are then half advanced, it is almost impossible to classify those who at that time apply for admission. So far from gaining time, the whole year is often lost in this way. The Faculty begs that parents, guardians and students give serious attention to this matter."

EXAMINATIONS.

Two written examinations are held during the year — one in December and the other in May. These examinations are limited to three hours duration. Upon these depend the decision of the advancement of students to higher classes. A student failing to pass the final examination will be required to repeat the class, or in case of small deficiencies, to do such extra work as the Professors may assign.

COLLEGE LIBRARY.

The Library contains more than 10,000 volumes, besides a large number of pamphlets and maga- zines. More than 1,000 volumes have been added during the present year. The Library is kept open five hours during the day under the direction of an

50 TRINITY COL LEGE

efficient Librarian. Each Professor assigns special lines of work for his classes to be done outside of the regular text-books. This not only renders the Library a necessity, but gives the students oppor- tunity to investigate subjects for themselves under the best directions. The Librarian's report shows that 300 volumes per month have been taken from the Library — nearly an average ot two volumes to each student. This does not include the work done in the Library, of which there can be no record. Each month shows an increased use of the Library. There can be no truer test of the educational spirit of a body of students than the use made of the Col- lege Library.

It is the purpose of the college to enlarge the Library each year. It occupies the largest room in the Main building, and already more room is needed. The friends and Alumni of the college make yearly very handsome donations to the Library, besides the amount spent by the college for the best and most recent books.

Friends will confer a great favor upon the col- lege by sending to the Library any books or old pamphlets and magazines. These may be of no use to them, but of great value to the college.

READING-ROOM.

Besides the Library an excellent reading-room has been established and provided, and students are kept in touch with current news and thought. Dur- ing the present year the following periodicals have been kept on the tables of the Reading-Room:

GENERAL INFORMATION. 51

Daily — New York Herald; Philadelphia Record; Philadel- phia Ledger ; Brooklyn Daily Eagle ; Wilmington Messenger ; Baltimore Sun ; Atlanta Journal ; Charlotte Observer ; Durham Daily Sun ; The News and Observer.

Weekly — North Carolina Christian Advocate ; The Christian Advocate, (Nashville); The Christian Advocate, (New York); Scientific American; The Progressive Farmer; The Western Sentinel ; Mecklenburg Times ; American Economist ; The Sign« cf the Times ; The Lincoln Courier ; The American Sentinel ; Nature ; Science ; Harper's Weekly ; The Outlook ; Judge ; Puck.

Monthly — Contemporary Review ; The Forum; The Review of Reviews ; The Century ; The North American Review ; Scrib- ner's Magazine; Harper's Magazine; Atlantic Monthly; Tab Methodist Review; The Arena ; The Charlotte Medical Journal.

LECTURES

Besides the regular lectures by the Professors in their class-rooms, the college arranges a series of public lectures to be delivered by the leading lec- turers of the day. The course for the present year was as follows :

1. Hon. Polk Miller,

''The Old Virginia Plantation Negro." Nov. 20th, 1894.

2. Prof. John B. De Malle, M. A., Ph, D.

"The Harp of the Senses," or "The Secret of Character Building."

Jan. 11th, 1895.

3. Dr. James Hedley,

'What is a Man Worth?" Feb. 9th. 1895.

52 TRINITY COLLEGE.

4. Hon. George R. Wendling, 1 "The Man of Galilee."

Feb. 20th, 1895.

Besides these lectures two concerts were given under the auspices of the college :

The Franz Wilczek Concert Company. Schubert Concert Company.

COLLEGE SOCIETIES.

1. The Columbian Literary Society.

2. The Hesperian Literary Society.

The Societies are literary and oratorical in their aim. The meetings are held regularly every Fri- day night during the collegiate year in their respec- tive halls on the first floor of the Main Building. Their record is one of diligence, honor and well- known achievement in public speaking, the practice of which is encouraged by the awarding of medals for excellence in that direction. As a means of self-discipline and a bond of fellowship, these soci- eties serve a valuable purpose in the education of young men. No student is obliged to become a member of either, though the advantages offered are well worth the expenses incident to membership.

TRINITY COLLEGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

This society was organized in 1892, and has be- come a recognized feature in the scholastic life of the college. It has met once a month throughout

GENERAL INFORMATION. 53

the year of 1894-5. It aims at securing and awak- ened interest in general historical matters and in North Carolina history in particular. During the current year it has begun the collection of historical specimens with a view to having a museum. Quite a number have already been secured. Friends of the college who have historical relics they would be willing to present or lend to this museum, may be assured that such relics if so disposed of, will be kept in all security. Donations are received with pleasure.

RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.

A devotional exercise is held every morning in the College Chapel, and students are required to attend. It is expected of every student to attend divine services on Sunday at the church he or his parents may choose.

THE Y. M. C. A.

The Young Men's Christian Association of Trinity College was organized in 1887, as the successor of an unaffiliated association of Christian young men previously organized. This association is a mem- ber of the State Association and sends representa- tives to its conventions. It holds meetings every Sunday afternoon, and has succeeded in awakening a vital religious interest throughout the college.

THE TRINITY ARCHIVE.

The Archive is a literary magazine published monthly by the Senior Class. It strives to give

54 TRINITY COLLEGE.

expression to the higher life and thought of the students. During the past year Mr. G. T. Rowe has been Editor in-Chief, and Mr. K. P. Carpenter, Businsss Manager.

THE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.

The laboratory for work in Biology is furnished with suitable tables for dissection and work with the microscope, chairs, cabinets for instruments, glassware and re-agents, and is equipped with com- pound microscopes, microtones, dissecting instru- ments, trays, glassware, re-agents, and materials for study. It is open with working room for twelve students at a time. The equipment will be added to each year, as the appropriations will permit, un- til a thoroughly equipped laboratory, with working room, instruments and other materials can be supplied each student working at one time in a laboratory.

THE MUSEUM.

Every effort is made to establish and enlarge the collections of animals and plants for the museum as fast as appropriations for cabinets, museum jars and alcohol will permit. It is intended that the museum shall serve not only for the illustration of lectures, but also for the general education of the public. Dissections and anatomical preparations, alcoholic and stuffed animals, plants and woods, minerals and curiosities, are all here placed on ex- hibition. People having objects and specimens of

general or special interests are requested to donate them to the museum, where they will be cared for and placed on exhibition with due acknowledge- ment.

MEDALS.

The Braxton Craven Medal is awarded to the student who obtains the highest grade in any regu- lar class in the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This Medal is the established gift of Mr. Julian S. Carr, Esq. , of Durham, N. C.

The Wiley Gray Medal is the annual gift of R. T. Gray, Esq., of Raleigh, N. C. , in memorial honor of a brother from whom the Medal takes its name. It was intended to be a reward for the graduation oration that should be, in the opinion of a committee appointed on the day of commence- ment, the best speech, both in respect to declama- tion and composition — not for the one or the other alone, but for the best combination of both.

DUKE SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Duke Scholarships are the gift of Mr. B. N. Duke and brothers, of Durham, N. C, for the pur- pose of enabling needy, capable and worthy young men in North Carolina to attend Trinity College. There are sixty of these, paying tuition only, at the rate ot $50 a year, to the incumbent. Two of these are assigned to each Presiding Elder's District in the State, others to the District High Schools of

56 TRINITY COLLEGE.

the M. E. Church, South, in North Carolina, and others still to the City Graded Schools.

Applicants for the Duke Scholarships covering tuition in Trinity College, should have three defi- nite qualifications:

1. They must be worthy of such help ; that is, they must be of good moral character and earnestly desirous of getting a colle- giate education.

2. They must be needy ; that is, they must be financially un- able to procure the advantages of collegiate training without the aid of a scholarship.

3. They must be capable ; that is, they must have such knowl- edge of preparatory branches as will enable them to pursue creditably courses of instruction offered.

Persons receiving appointments will be expected to use all available time in preparing themselves for admission, and to be on time at the opening of the term.

THE MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE.

Candidates for the M. A. Degree will be required to pursue three distinct lines of study, one "major subject" and two "minor subjects," and at the close of the work, to pass a special examination on those studies and write a thesis.

The Master's Degree is open to Bachelors of this college, or of any other reputable college or university. A residence of at least one year at the college is required, except as stated below:

1. Residents — Those who have received a Bachelor's degree at this college, or at any other reputable college or university,

GENERAL INFORMATION. 57

may be recommended for the corresponding Master's degree after a year's residence at the college, provided they pass ex- amination on an approved course of study, and present one satisfactory thesis on the major study.

2. Non-residents — A bachelor may be recommended for the corresponding Master's Degree, without residence at the college, provided he spends at least two years on a course of study ap- proved by the Faculty, presents a report of progress at least once in each term to the chairman of the committee in charge of his work, passes the required examinations at Trinity Col- lege,-and presents a satisfactory thesis.

SPECIAL REGULATIONS.

Applicants for an advanced degree, whether resi- dent or non-resident, are required to announce to the Faculty, through the president, as early as the 15th of October of each year, the particular branches of study to which they wish to give special atten- tion.

DONATIONS.

Trinity College has a host of friends not only in North Carolina, but throughout the South and West. It has received the largest single gifts ever made to an educational institution in North Caro- lina. During the year the following donations have been made:

In July, 1S94, Mr. J. H. Ferree, of Randleman,- N. C. , donated to Trinity College, for the benefit ■of the chemical and physical laboratories, a large and valuable gas machine, which was formerly used in lighting his cotton mills. It is made of pure •copper, and cost originally $1,200. Upon exami-

nation, it was found that the air-pump was of a special patent for large mills, and could not be utilized by the college.

Learning of this deficiency, Mr. J. S. Carr supple- mented the above donation and rendered it avail- able by forwarding to the college, in January last, a large air-pump, with cable, pulleys, weight-box^ and all necessary attachments.

ALUMNI.

There are more than five hundred full graduates from Trinity College, besides thousands of under- graduates. ^These men are scattered through the South and West, and very many of them have attained to high places of honor in State and Church. They are greatly interested in the work of their Alma Mater, and to them Trinity College points for the highest testimonials of her worth.

The following list is imperfect in several partic- ulars. We shall be glad to receive any correction. Memoirs, or any facts relative to those who are de- ceased, are desired.

Degrees received since graduation are added.

The History of the College.

Trinity College had its origin in Union Institute, a school of academic grade, located in the north- west corner of Randolph County, North Carolina. It was opened to meet a local demand on the part of leading citizens for educational advant- ages for their children.

The late Rev. Dr. Brantley York was principal of Union Institute from 1838, the year of its foundation, to 1842. Rev. B. Craven, then elected Principal, remained in office from 1842 to 1851.

With the year 18~)l-this institution entered upon the second stage of its history. It was re- chartered then as Normal College, the leading- purpose of which was the training of teachers for the puplic schools.

Before the end of this decade it had outgrown its distinctly normal purpose and considerably enlarged its curriculum. In 1859 it assumed for the first time the charter of a college. The North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, South, then convening at Beaufort,

10 TRINITY COLLEGE.

accepted the transfer of the property and re-char- tered it under the name of Trinity College.

The first class graduated in 1853. From that date to the outbreak of the civil war, the institu- tion enjoyed an unusual degree of prosperity.

During the civil war its prosperity was of course greatly reduced. In 1863 President Craven re- signed, and Prof. W. T. Gannaway, then a mem- ber of the Faculty, was placed in charge as act- ing President. He held the position till the close of the war, in 18(55, the work of instruction being interrupted only from the time of the encamping of troops on the College grounds in the Spring of 180."), until the following January, an interval of about five scholastic months.

Dr. Craven was re-elected President, and the College resumed its work in the beginning of Jan- uary, 180(5. Following this, the history of the College is one of heroic endeavor to restore its fortunes and regain its former degree of success. The building of the College chapel was begun in 1 873, and finally completed in 1875. About 1883 the first bequest was made by Dr. Siddle, of North Carolina, for the endowment fund. The death of its President, Dr. Craven, November 7, 1882, was a heavy loss to the progress of the in- stitution. At once Prof. W. H. Pegram, then :i member of the Faculty, was made Chairman, in which capacity he served till June, 1883, when

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. \\

the Rev. Dr. M. L. Wood was elected President of the College. In December, 1884, President Wood resigned and Prof. J. P. Ileitnian was chosen Chairman of the Faculty. In June, 1887. John F. Crowell, A. B., (Yale) was elected to the presidency, which office he held till June, 1894. In 1892 the College was moved from Randolph county to the city of Durham, N. C. Mr. W. Duke donated more than $100,000 for buildings, and Col. J. S. Can donated the elegant park upon which the College is located. John C. Kilgo was elected to the presidency August 1, 1894.

Trinity College Park, the site of the College buildings, consists of sixty-two and a half acres of land, formerly known as Blackwell's Park, on the west side of the city. It has been laid out in walks, boulevards, drives and streets, connecting- it with the new building sites of the land com- panies on every side — north, east, south and west. The points of special importance are — (1.) The whole Park is owned by the Boa I'd of Trustees of Trinity College. (2. ) Its elevation is as good as could be desired. (8.) It is dry and cool in summer. (4.) It has a half-mile athletic track in the center. ( 5. ) There are thirteen acres of athletic grounds. ((5.) It is one of the heal- thiest locations in Piedmont North Carolina.

12 TRINITY COLLEGE.

The buildings in use are—

1. The Main College Building.

2. The College Inn.

3. The Technological Building.

4. The Seven Residences for the Faculty

and Officers.

1. The Main Building is a three-story brick building, covered with slate, lighted with electric lights, heated with warm air, and ventilated by the famous Ruttan Warming and Ventilating system — a widely approved system for supplying pure air, warm or cold, and removing vitiated at- mosphere from a building. This is the system in use in over forty of the government school buildings in Washington, 1). C.

There are: (1) Nearly sixty dormitories on the second and third floors ; (2) Also twelve lecture rooms and offices; (3) Bathing apartments on every floor except the first; (4) The dry-closet system; (5) Underground drainage from the inside and from the surface about the building; (6) A basement 208x50 feet, the size of the build- ing, thus rendering the building proof against unsanitary conditions ; (7) Finally, it may be well said to be the "most complete college building in the State," in point of ventilation, architec- ture, comfort and modern conveniences.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. 13

2. Tup: Technological Building containing,

1) The School of Chemistry.

2) The School of Physics.

3) The School of Biology.

4) The Museum.

There are in this building separate apartments for each of these schools, including (1) two lab- oratories. (2) three lecture rooms, (3) one car- penter-shop, (4) one machine-room, (5) a museum of specimens, and (6) a dynamo-room.

3. The College inn. — This is a college build- ing of extraordinary merit, both in architectural design and in point of utility. It contains To dormitories, two parlors, the college chapel, a dining-room having a seating capacity of 250, and and a waiting-room. It is heated by warm air and lighted by electricity. Its sanitary arrange- ments are complete, including bath-rooms and water-closets on each main floor.

4. The Residences of the Faculty andOe- ficers of the College are mostlv on Faculty Av- enue in the College Park. They are furnished with bath-rooms, cold and hot water, are con- nected with the city water works, and lighted by electric lights. Nearly all of the buildings in the College Park are lighted with electricity, fur- nished by a 720 light dynamo installed by the General Electric Company of New York.

"I. No College shall be eligible to membership in this Association which furnishes preparatory instruction in any subject as part of its College organization.

"II. Xo College shall be admitted to or retain membership in this Association which does not hold written entrance examinations for admission of at least the scope indicated in Section III be- low, and publish the same annually, depositing copies of said examination papers with the Sec- retary of this Association.

"III. The Association prescribes the following as the minimum requirements for admission to College, the same to be binding on each Institu- tion belonging to this Association :

"In English — Requirements of the Association of Schools and Colleges in the Middle States and Maryland.

ADMISSION TO TRINITY COLLEGE. 19

"In History and Geography — United States History and Geography.

••In Mathematics — Arithmetic and Algebra through Quadratics, or Algebra to Quadratics, and three books of Geometry.

•;In Latin — Four books of Caesar and four ora- tions of Cicero (or their equivalent) with accom- panying work in Grammar and simple prose com- position (operative in '98).

••Of the above subjects, examinations in His- tory. Geography and English, shall be required of all students admitted to College, provided that students pursuing technical studies in not more than two subjects, may be excused from these examinations. Examinations in Latin, Greek and Mathematics respectively, shall be re- quired of all students expecting to continue these subjects. Certificates covering the above require- ments, may be accepted from duly accedited schools, in lieu of entrance examinations at the Colleges."

These requirements will be effective at Trinity College for the sessions of 1897-'98, and for the years following.

1. GENERAL REGULATION.

All persons applying for admission to Col- lege, should be at least fifteen years of age. Before any one can be granted admission to

20 TRINITY COLLEGE.

classes, lie shall first furnish evidence of his fit- ness to enter upon the courses which he desires to take. This he will do either by a stated ex- amination or by consultation with the respective instructors in charge of the classes he proposes to enter.

Students bringing certificates of proficiency in subjects required for admission to the Freshman class only, from preparotory schools on the * 'Schol- arship List," will be admitted without examina- tion.

Applicants who desire to take advanced courses will be examined upon any or all preceding- courses necessary to determine their fitness to do so.

Students from other Colleges of like grade, will be credited with work already finished. They are required to present certificates giving their standingatthe institution from which they came.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE, 1896-'97.

Applicants for admission to the Freshman class will be examined on the following subjects :

(1.) Mathematics. — Algebra to Quadratic Equations. Wentworth's "Elements of Algebra" is recommended for preparatory work.

(2.) Latin. — Four books of CaBsar's Gallic War and first two books of Virgil's JEneid, or their

ADMISSION TO TRINITY COLLEGE. 21

equivalents. The student must be able to eon- vert simple English prose into Latin.

(3.) Greek. — Two books of Xenophon's Ana- basis.

(4.) English. — The knowledge of grammatical constructions and inflexions, such as may be ob- tained from Hyde's "Lessons in English,1' or Whitney's '-Essentials of English Grammar.'' (2.) Elementary Rhetoric and principles of com- position, found in Genung's '-Outlines of Rhet- oric." (3.) Reading. — Evangeline, The Sketch Book, Marmion, The Merchant of Venice, some first class English novel, such us Ivanhoe. Em- phasis is especially laid on this last require- ment. The Preparatory Schools need to require students to read some of the easier works of lit- erature, suited to persons of that age.

(5.) History. — American History, as much as ran be found in Johnston's, Montgomery's, Han- sell's, or any similar book used in High Schools. Applicants for admission will also find it to their advantage to read carefully some good General History, as Myers' or Anderson's.

The terms of the collegiate year open at the beginning of September and of January. For each of these terms a matriculation fee of five dol-

22 TRINITY COLLEGE.

lars is paid at the beginning of the term, before admission to any of the privileges of the Institu- tion. No instructor will admit any applicant to any of his classes without the proper credentials — the matriculation card from the Treasurer. Application should be made for matriculation at the College office on the day of arrival at the College.

The Description of Courses.

The Tendency to multiply in colleges the num- ber of lower degrees must result in lessening the standards of educational work. These degrees render college diplomas very indefinite, and give to graduation no fixed meaning. Colleges can never fulfill their purposes by entering the field of preparatory schools. Trinity College, there- fore offers only one graduate degree — Bachelor of A arts, the highest college degree. But it offers three equivalent courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

COURSE A.

Applicants for admission to Freshman Class in this course, will be examined on Mathematics, Latin. Greek, English and History. (See Requirements for Entrance.)

Description of Schools for Under= graduates.

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY.

PROFESSOR CRANFORD.

JUNIOR YEAR.

In the F;ill Term of Junior year two hours a week are devoted to the .study of Logic.

This course begins with a brief historical introduction, giv

ing the origin, the uses and the abuses of the science of Logic. The course is conducted on the theory that Logic is a safeguard against error, and in accordance with this theory, the great natural fundamental sources of error in reasouing are kept before the mind of the student ; and he is required, by written or oral applications, to show how each subordinate portion of the subject plays its part in guiding the reason to sound con- clusions. Iu Deduction special attention is given to Dtinition, to Syllogistic Analysis, to popularizing syllogistic and syllogiz- ing popular arguments, and to the correction of Fallacies. In Induction, all the Fundamental principles of modern scien- tific methods are investigated and applied in written exercises. Text : William Minto's. with references.

In the Spring Term of Junior year two hours a week are devoted to the study of Pyschology.

This course investigates all classes of facts of human consciousness, attemps scientifically to describe and explain these facts, and to point out their significance in all realms

30

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS. 31

of knowing, feeling and doing. The student is encouraged to compare the statements found in text and reference-books, with those found by introspection and analysis of his own states of consciousness. The free and frank discussion of leading topics is always encouraged and often required, not at random, but from papers written for the purpose. Results of reference reading are required to be brought in on paper.

Text : J. Mark Baldwins: reference, Ladd, Sully. Janes, Davis, James, etc.

SENIOR YEAR.

In the Fall Term of the Senior year two hours per week are devoted to an Introduction to Phi- losophy.

This coarse is intended to introduce the student to the lead- ing problems of Philosophy proper. An attempt is made to distinguish between Philosophy and other disciplines, and to show the relation of Philosophy to the particular sciences, both physical and pyschical. The main problems of Knowing, of Being, of Feeling, and of Acting, are considered under Theory of Knowledge, Metaphysics. ..-Esthetics, Ethics, and Philos- ophy of Religion, and the way toward the progressive solution of these problems, and their relations to life are pointed out. The work is earned on by lectures, written and oral discus- sions and recitations.

SCHOOL OF HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR BASSETT.

It is the object of this department to bring into the lives of the student, the consciousness of the religious, political, artistic and industrial devel- opment of the past. It is intended that it shall always be borne in mind that history is life. A fairly complete survey of the history of the nations of the civilized world is presented in the four years course. As nearly as possible this has been ar- ranged so that it may be taken up consecutively. It is desired to show how one nation is related to, and how its life has grown out of the lives of, other nations. This course, it is believed, will give a young man the historical knowledge necessary to enable him to study intelligently the practical problems of the day, or to pursue advanced stud- ies in graduate work.

The method will be text-book work supple- mented by lectures and parallel readings, and by written reports on the same. Much satisfaction has been experienced from the plan of having

SCHOOL OF LATIN. PROFESSOR MERITT.

Latin is continued as a required study till the (•lose of the Sophomore year, when it is intended that the student shall have become acquainted with six or eight authors, and shall have been sufficiently drilled in forms, constructions and idioms to make further reading of the classic lan- guage comparatively easy. As the student ac- quires facility in reading, the study of the liter- ature is made more prominent, and individual work is assigned for careful and prolonged re- search. Considerable time is given to reading at sight, and to re- writing in Latin some of the stu- dent's own translations.

SCHOOL OF GREEK. P K( >FESS< >R C RA N F< > R I ) .

All language is but the expression of some mental state or process. It is usually the ex- pression of thought. It is always in the form of

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS. 41

a word or plira.se, ;i sentence, or a collection of sentences (literature). The object in the study of language is primarily to gel the thought which is expressed in it and to learn how to express thought by means of the language. The thought or idea contained in a word depends on the mean- ing of its root or stem together with the signifi- cation of the various modifications of the word in the way of suffixes, prefixes, declensions and conjugations: the thought in a sentence depends on the meanings of the words and their modes of combination; the thought in literature depends on the meanings of the words, sentences, and their modes of combination. These different de- partments of language cannot be kept separate; but in the Freshman and Sophomore years, prom- inence is given to the word and the sentence, and in the Junior and Senior years, prominence is given to the sentence and the discourse as liter- ature.

FRESHMAN YEAR.

In the Fall Term of the Freshman year, three hours per week are devoted to easy Attic Prose.

This course is intended to drill the student in accurate trans- lation of ordinary Attic Prose into English, and in word-con - constmctions. declensions and conjugations, ami in rendering easy English into Greek. Most of the work is required in writing or in black-board recitation.

Text: Xeiiophon' s Anabasis, Bks. III. and IV. with refer- ences to the Grammars of Hadlev and Allen and Goodwin.

42 TRINITY COLLEGE.

In the Spring Term of the Freshman year, four hours per week are devoted to the Translation of Attic Prose and Greek Prose composition.

This course is a continuation of the same kind of work as that done in tae Fall Term, and is carried on in much the same manner.

Text: Select Orations of Lysias and Jones' Krercises in Creek Prose Composition.

SOPHOMORE YEAR.

In the Fall Term of the Sophomore year, three hours per week are devoted to Homeric Greek.

In this course accuracy of translation of Greek into English and of English into Greek is insisted on, and drill in word- constructions, and inflections continued and clause construction emphasized. Homeric forms and constructions are compared and contrasted with those of Attic Prose.

Text: Homer's Iliad, Bks [-IV., or Odyssey, Bks. I IV.

In the Spring Term of the Sophomore year, four hours are devoted to the writings of Plato and Greek Prose composition.

In this course there is a continuation of the drill in word and clause construction, with increased attention to the literary features of the style and its fitness for the subject matter. Translation and analysis, written and oral.

Text: Apology of Socrates, Crito, etc.. Jones' Prose Compo sition.

JUNIOR AND SENIOR YEARS.

During both terms of the Junior and Senior years, three' hours per week are devoted to the Greek Dramatic Poets.

The work of the Junior and Senior years in Greek is elec- tive. The Junior and Senior classes are usually combined. In the Fall Term, D'Ooge's Sophocles Antigone is read, with drill in sentence-construction, word-construction, and declension, and conjugation. In the Spring Term, Wecklehvs jE&chylus Prometheus Bound is read in like manner, with drill in Greek Versification, covering the work of both terms. The works

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS. 43

read in the Junior and Senior years are studied from the stand point of Literature, and an attempt is made to get at the spirit, thought, and significance of some of the best creations of the Greek Poets.

SCHOOL OF FRENCH. PROFESSOR BASSETT.

One year's instruction in French is offered to students in the Senior Class, who desire to ac- quire a rapid and ready reading knowledge of the language. Continued drill is given in pronunci- ation. An idea of the peculiar beauty of the French literature will be presented to the stu- dent.

1. Exercises iit Grammar and Reading: The class will he- gin with Joynes" Minimum French Grammar and Reader. Other readings will follow as may be thought wise.

Fall Term— 3 hours.

2. French Readings : Various texts will be selected as the class has need of them. During the past year the class read La Cigale Chez Fourmis (Legonve et Labiche) and Madame Therese (Erckmann — Chatrian).

Spring Term — ./ hams.

SCHOOL OF ENGLISH. PROFESSOR MTMS.

The chief aim of this department is to arouse the students to a realization of the value of the best literature in widening the mental horizon

44 TRINITY COLLEGE.

and cultivating the expression of thought. From the very first, the masterpieces of English Liter- ature are put into the hands of the students; as many as possible are studied carefully in the class-room, while others are read as parallel work, which, however, is discussed in the class under the guidance of the Professor. All details — grammatical, philological, and irrelevant matters

are subordinated to the aim of getting at the

thought and beauty of the literature studied. Great poems and prose pieces are looked upon not merely as offering material for technical work, but as having in them the best thought and life of our best authors.

In teaching literature is found the best way of teaching Rhetoric, Composition and Grammar. As Prof. Corson says, the extensive and sympa- thetic reading of good authors is the best means of enlarging the student's vocabulary, of culti- vating a nice sense of the force of words, and of speaking and writing good English. Composi- tion cannot be taught by a set of rules. Rhet- oric is good only as it finds illustration and fuller meaning in literature; and Grammar itself is best appreciated as it is seen in models of grammatical usage.

Philology is considered as a graduate study, although words of striking and special signifi- cance afford opportunity L'or noting the origin and

DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS. 45

development of language. An elective course is given in Anglo-Saxon and Middle English for those who intend to pursue philological work at some university.

SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY. PROFESSOR PEG RAM.

The undergraduate work of this school is em- braced in two courses, viz.. General Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry.

General Chemistry is taught by lectures and text-books, and by experiments conducted by the instructor in the presence of the class. Thorough drill in writing and interpreting chemical equa- tions, in making stoichiometrical calculations, and in solving chemical problems, constitutes a leading feature of the course. Essays on special topics, demanding extensive parallel reading, are required at times, instead of regular lectures and recitations. All students in the course are re- quired to execute in the laboratory a series of well selected experiments, illustrating the gen- eral principles of the science. These laboratory exercises are under the supervision of the instruc- tor, and sire intended to develop skill in the prepa- ration and use of apparatus, a practical knowl-

edge of the elements and their compounds, n deeper insight into the nature of chemical phe- nomena, and especially the power to learn of nature by observation and experiment. The course is well designed to meet the wants of those who wish to gain a general knowledge of Chem- istry and of the methods used in the study of nature ; for those who wish to enter the School of Analytical Chemistry with the view of becom- ing analytical chemists, teachers of chemistry, or original investigators ; and also for those who purpose entering the professional schools of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The course in Analytical Chemistry is devoted to the study of chemical re-actions as applied in the practical work of analysis. The work con- sists mainly of laboratory exercises, with oc- casional lectures and recitation.

The Chemical Laboratory, Lecture-room and Store-room are on the third iioor of the Techno- logical Building, The laboratory is large, well lighted and ventilated; and its equipment con- sists of an ample variety of apparatus and chem- icals, desks and lockers, water from the city hy- drant, gas. furnaces, balances, and a well-se- lected reference library.

General Information.

THE CHOICE OF A COLLEGE.

There is no question that involves so much as the choice ol* the college at which a young man is to be educated. Colleges have characters as well as individuals, and each college makes men after its own type. In the choice of a college therefore, is the choice of the principles that will constitute the elements of the future character.

The college should be positively christian. That is. it should have a positive faith in Christ, and this faith should be the controlling influence of the college. The Bible should be emphasized and as much importance should be given to Paul as to Plato.

Tt should be a college free from the fads of so- cial vagaries and dissipations. These not only cost money, but endanger character and dissipate all purposes t<» study.

It should be a college where the student can have personal access to his professors. Mere pro- fessional relations cannot inspire the noblest purposes. These are born out of personal rela- tions.

hi

62 TRINITY COLLEGE.

It should hea growing college. Men and col- leges sometimes get grown and fossilize. Only growing professors can create energy in their stu- dents. These are some of the items that should control in such an important choice. The mon- etary cost should always be subordinated to these hiarher ends.

ADVANTAGES OF LOCATION.

Trinity College is the only male literary college in Xort Carolina located in a city. Our ancestry thought that it would endanger the moral char- acter of students if colleges were located in towns or cities, but the facts have long since refuted their ideas, and most all the large colleges and universities are located in towns and cities. The educational influences of such environments are necessary. Students enjoy advantages in a city not to be had elsewhere, and come in contact with the questions that a re prominent in the minds of the nations. They enjoy the best social and religious influences. Any young man's educa- tion is crippled who is denied these advantages.

THE CITY OF DURHAM.

Trinity College is located in Durham, a city of more than soon inhabitants. It is in easv reach

GENERAL INFORMATION. «:;

of every section of North Carolina by the Southern, Lynchburg & Durham, Oxford & Clarksville, and Durham & Northern railroads. No city in North Carolina has had such marvellous growth. Tt is one of the largest manufacturing centers in the South, and its factories are universally advertised. Its name and enterprise have been carried to every civilized nation of the earth. The inspiration which a young man gets from such marvellous business successes is itself no small part of an education.

The society of Durham is cultured and ele- gant, yet free from any of the evils that poison social life. No Southern town is blessed with larger hearted philanthropists. The monuments of their generosity will inspire the most magnan- imous impulses in the minds of Trinity College students.

HEALTH.

The climate of Durham is mild and invigorat- ing, and the health of the people is good.

The official record shows that the mortality of Durham for some years past has been less in pro- portion to population than any town in the State. There has nor been an epidemic of any kind in the past quarter of a century. Trinity Col- lege is supplied with water from the city water

64 TRINITY COLLEGE.

works. This water is thoroughly filtered and is free from impurities. The Watts Hospital fur- nishes ample provisions for the most scientific treatment of anv critical sickness.

CHURCHES.

Durham is a city of churches and a church-go- ing people. In and around Durham there are about twenty churches of the various denomina- tions. These churches are thoroughly organized with all social and religious societies for the young, and the churches of no city have more in- fluence upon the young people.

EXAMINATIONS.

Two written examinations are held during the year — one in January and the other in May. These examinations are limited to three hours duration. I'pon these depend the decision of the advancement of students to higher classes. A student failing to pass the final examination will be required to repeat the class, or in case of small deficiencies, to do such extra work as the Pro- fessors may assign.

Any student absent from the regular examina- tions without permission, will not be given an

GENERAL INFORMATION. 65

examination on the subject till the time of the regular examination on the same subject in the following year. This law will be strictly ob- served in every department.

Non-resident undergraduate work will not be accepted, and examinations on such work will not be given. Provided, this law shall not ap- ply to those students whose temporary absence from classes is unavoidable, and has been of short duration.

AVERA SCHOOL OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE.

The A vera School of Biblical Literature was established in honor of Mr. YV. H. A vera by his wife, who donated $2,500 for that purpose. The income from this amount will be used to equip the department with maps, charts and other nec- essary fixtures, and for the purchase of such books as will be necessary for the study of the Bible. The department of Biblical Literature in the Library will be increased each year, and stu- dents in this school will be able to consult lead- ing writers on Biblical subjects. This generous gift is a worthy exa mple to those who wish to erect a monument of enduring strength to the memory of a friend or relative. The friends of the col- lege have nnide frequent donations of books to

66 TRINITY COLLEGE.

this department of study, and all who are inter- ested in the study of the Bible should contribute such means as will make it most efficient.

TRINITY COLLEGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The Trinity Historical Society was organized on April 4, 1892. Its inception was due to the efforts of Dr. S. B. Weeks, the professor of His- tory and Social Science in the College. Its first president was Stonewall J. Durham, and its first Secretary Irvin E. Avery. It has continued in existence from that day until this. Its officers have been :

1892: S. J. Durham, President, and I. E. Avery, Secretary.

1892-,3: J. A. Baldwin. President, and L. T. Hartsell, Secretary.

1893-'4: R. L. Flowers, President, and W. P. Grill, Secretary.

1894-'5: J. S. Bassett, President, and S. S. Dent, Secretary.

1895-'6: J. S. Bassett, President, and P. V. Anderson, Secretary.

The society has always been an important fea- ture of the college life. It has seen no hopeless days. It has been in existence long enough to get itself deeply rooted in the hearts of the stu-

GENERAL INFORMATION. 67

dents. It is now aiding very materially the pro- nounced literary movement that is spreading over the college. It holds its regular meeting the last Saturday evening in each month. Its program usually consists of the miscellaneous business that may come up ; the presentation of relics to the museum, and about three-quarters of an hour of literary duties. Its meetings are always public and all friends of the college, ladies as well as gentlemen, are cordially invited to be present.

In the Fall of 1894, it began a movement for an historical museum. Interest awakened slowly at first. The first relics presented were three old almanacs which were donated on November 3, 1894, by Mr. J. H. Separk, of Raleigh, X. C. By Commencement 1895, enough relics had come in to fill a large case seven feet tall and four and a half feet wide.

From the Fall of 1895, very much interest has been manifested and relics have been presented by many people. A second case has just been donated by Dr. Kilgo,and already it is seen that a third is needed. A room formerly used by Prof. Dowd. for lecture purposes, has been fitted up for the museum, and all visitors are cordially in- vited to visit it. Friends of the cause of history, who have relics of the past are requested to con- tribute to the collection. It is especially desired to get such things as arms, uniforms, or accou-

trements that were used in one of the wars of the United States, or of other countries ; Indian re- mains, such as arrow and spear heads, bowls, beads, hatchets, axes, bows, etr. : rare and curi- ous minerals, or rare books ; old papers and doc- uments, autographs of prominent men. and ob- jects connected with and illustrating the past so- cial condition of the State. Persons who have such articles which they do not care to give away, may deposit them in the museum for exhibition, and they will be safely cared for and returned whenever the owner may desire them.

The Society is especially desirous of collecting any books that relate to America or North Caro- lina history. There are many garrets in the State that are tilled with old books or old papers. These are in most cases of value to students of history, but are not appreciated b}' the general reader. If any friend who has such books will box them and send them to the college, at the ex- pense of the college, he will greatly oblige the authorities. Persons who have old libraries that they fear will be scattered after death are re- quested to bequeath them to the Society. Among the books that it is especially desired to have are : Lawsou's Natural History of North Carolina; Brickell's Natural History of North Carolina; Foote's Sketches of North Carolina; William son's History of North Carolina; old Maps of

GENERAL INFORMATION. m

North Carolina ; books relating to the Reconstruc- tion period; the reports on the Ku Klux Klan ; Garden's Anecdotes ; Tarlton's Campaigns ; Greene's or Johnson's Life of Greene; McRee's Life of Iredell ; Draper's King's Mountain and the Heroes ; or any of the editions of the laws of North Carolina previous to the last ten years, es- pecially those of colonial days. Any one having one or more of these books will please commu- nicate with the president of the Society.

HISTORICAL PUBLICATION.

The Department of History has made arrange- ments to publish an Annual Collection of Histori- cal Papers. It will be devoted to North Carolina history and biography, and will be the only pub- lication in this field, in existence. It is the in- tention to make it the repository of the best histor- ical work in the State. The first number will be issued in October, 1896.

COLLEGE LIBRARY.

The Library contains more than 10,000 vol- umes, besides a large number of pamphlets and magazines. More than 500 volumes have been

70 TRINITY COLLEGE.

added during the present year. The Library is kept open live hours during the day, under the direction of an efficient Librarian. Each Pro- fessor assigns special lines of work for his classes, to be done outside of the regular text-books. This not only renders the Library a necessity, but gives the students opportunity to investigate sub- jects for themselves under the best directions. The Librarian's report shows that 250 volumes per month have been taken from the Library — nearly an average of two volumes to each student. This does not include the work done in the Li- brary, of which there can be no record. Each month shows an increased use of the Library. There can be no truer test of the educational spirit of a body of students than the use made of the College Library.

It is the purpose of the college to enlarge the Library each year. It occupies the largest room in the Main Building, and already more room is needed. The friends and Alumni of the college, make yearly, very handsome donations to the Li- brary, besides the amount spent by the college for the best and most recent books.

Friends will confer a great favor upon the col- lege by sending to the Library any books or old pamphlets and magazines. These may be of no use to them, but of great value to the college.

2. Hesperian Society.

The Societies are literary and oratorical in their aim. The meetings are held regularly ever Fri- day night during the college year, in their respec- tive halls, on the first fioor of the Main Building. Their record is one of diligence, honor and well-known achievement in public speaking, the practice of which is encouraged by the awarding of medals for excellence in that direction. As a means of self-discipline and a bond of fellowship, these societies serve a valuable purpose in the

education of young men. No student is obliged to become a member of either, though the ad- vantages offered are well worth the expenses in- cident to membership.

PUBLICATIONS OF THE COLLEGE.

The Christian Educator is a paper issued monthly. It is owned and edited by the college, and is published in the interest of Christian edu- cation. It is the only paper of the kind pub- lished by a Southern college, and serves a very great need. The world has a right to expect colleges to extend their life and inlinences as far as possible, and it is the confirmed policy of Trinity to contribute its influence to the develop- ment of public opinion along the highest lines.

THE ARCHIVE.

This is a literary magazine, published monthly by the Senior class. It strives to give expres- sion to the higher life and thought of the students. During the present year the Archive has earned an enviable position among Southern periodicals. Mr. S. W. Sparger, and a strong ed- itorial staff, have exerted themselves to make a magazene worthy of all the interests represented. Their success has been appreciated by leading journals in the State. "I like the tone of the

If there has been anything better published in the State we failed to see it. ' ' — (Wilmington Messenger. ) These are a few of the appreciative expressions of the lead- ing journals of the State.

ATHLETICS.

Believing that a sound and vigorous physical manhood is a necessary basis for the moral and intellectual development of young men, it is the policy of Trinity College to encourage all manly athletic sports. The college grounds are admir- ably suited to outdoor games of every rank. There are six excellent tennis courts laid off on the campus ; a half-mile track perfectly level for walking, running, or bicycling ; and a large base- ball field inclosed within the track.

Athletic contests with other college students, when conducted with proper principles, are rec- ognized as a valuable stimulus to athletic devel- opment, and such contests are permitted under the following restrictions :

GENERAL INFORMATION. 75

The students of Trinity College are not allowed to play games with any college team, which is not made up entirely of bonajide matriculates of the institution which it represents. This limitation must be construed to exclude any so-called stu- dents who have been induced to enter a college by money, free scholarships, or otherwise, for the purpose primarily of playing in match games. Students of this college are not allowed to play match games outside of the State, nor in the State with other than college teams. All plans for games, as to time and place, must be submitted to the President of the college for approval.

FOOT- BALL.

This game has grown to be such an evil that the best tastes of the public have rebelled against it. The authorities of the college have watched it with interest, and after several years of expe- rience and observation, they have determined that the best interests of the students demand that it be discontinued, especially as a game for inter-collegiate contest. If students wish to play foot-ball as a matter of pure recreation, no ob- jection will be raised, but under no condition will a match game with another college be allowed.

THE MUSEUM.

Every effort is made to establish and enlarge the collections of animals and plants for the mu- seum, as fast as appropriations for cabinets, museum jars, and alcohol will permit, [t is in- tended that the museum shall serve not only for the illustration of lectures, but also for the gen- eral education of the public. Dissections and anatomical preparations, alcoholic and stuffed an- imals, plants and woods, minerals and curiosities, are all here placed on exhibition. People having objects and specimens of general or special in- terests, are requested to donate them to the mu- seum, where they will be cared for and placed on exhibition with due acknowledgement.

MEDALS.

The Braxton Craven Medal is awarded to the

student who obtains the highest grade in any regular class in the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This Medal is the estab- lished gift of Julian S. Carr, Esq., of Durham. X. C.

Tlir Wiley Gray Medal is the annual gift of R. T. Gray, Esq.. of Raleigh, N. ('.. in memorial honor of a brother from whom the Medal takes it name. It was intended to be a reward for the graduation oration that should be, in the opinion

of a committee appointed on the day of com- mencement, the best speech, both in resj>ect to declamation and composition — not for the one or

the other alone, but for the best eombinition of both.

GOVERNMENT.

Trinity College was founded as a christian col- lege, and all its policy and aims are shaped by the methods and aims of Christ. The highest product of education is character, and the truest principles of character are those set forth by Christ. In the government of the college, this end controls all methods. Military regulations are avoided, because force can never produce personal character. Students are trusted, and when it is found that they cannot respond to con- fidence, they are quietly advised to return home. No publicity is given to their misfortunes, and t lt»- best ideals are constantly presented to them. This makes the government simple, and experi- ence has more than vindicated the wisdom of the method.

RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.

A devotional exercise is held every morning in the* College Chapel, and students are required r<> attend. It is expected of every student to attend

divine services on Sunday at the church he or his parents may choose.

THE Y. M. C. A.

The Young Men's Christian Asssciation of Trinity College was organized in 1887, as the suc- cessor of an unaffiliated association of Christian young men previously organized. This associa- tion is a member of the State Association, and sends representatives to its conventions. It holds meetings every Sunday afternoon, and has suc- ceeded in awakening a vital religious interest throughout the college.

PRIVILEGED STUDENTS.

The sons of ministers and young men studying for the ministry are exempt from paying tuition. They are required to pay all other college fees. Worthy young men who cannot pay tuition, are allowed, in some instances, to give their notes for it, payable after they have finished their educa- tion. Candidates for the ministry, who are not the sons of preachers, are required to give their notes for tuition. If they enter the regular ministry within three years after leaving college, these notes are surrendered to them, otherwise thev will be collected.

GENERAL INFORMATION. 79

TIME OF ENTRANCE.

Attention, is invited to this paragraph.

"Patrons of the College are earnestly requested to take care that their boys are present on the 8th day of September, when the entrance exam- inations are held, the classes organized and the recitations begun. Those who enter after this time necessarily lose some part of the instruction, and are thus at a disadvantage in comparison with their more punctual classmates. Students that delay their coming for a few weeks usually find themselves hopelessly behind, and are thus forced to drop into lower classes. Let it be especially noted that the middle of the session is not the time for entrance, for, as the classes are then half advanced, it is almost impossible to classify those who at that time apply for admis- sion. So far from gaining time, the whole year is often lost in this way. The Faculty begs that parents, guardians and students give serious attention to this matter.''

ENDOWMENT.

No enterprise offers greater inducements to philanthropists than the endowment of a college. It is an investment of a permanent nature, and one that must contribute to the progress of

80 TRINITY COLLEGE.

society. Men of large fortunes have found it the most profitable way to make contributions to the

public. Very many men desire to share their fortunes with some institution, but wish to invest in those institutions of greatest benefit to human progress. To such, a christian college offers the greatest consideration. The following plan is taken from the report of the Board of Education of the North Carolina Conference:

••During the present year Mr. W. Duke has shown his deep interest in christian education, and his faith in Trinity College, by proposing to donate §50,000 to the endowment fund on condi- tion that the two Conferences raise §75,000. The Board of Trustees suggests that our Conference undertake to endow, during the coming year, a chair with §25,000, to be known as the North Carolina Conference Chair. A like proposition has been made to the Western North Carolina Conference and accepted. This will secure §50,- ooo of the amount. The Board also suggests the endowment of the Braxton Craven Chair by the joint contributions of both Conferences, to the amount of §25,000.

••The Board also decided to raise scholarships worth §j, 000 each, the income from which will be loaned to worthy young men with which to pay their tuition. They are not to be free scholarships.

GENERAL TNFORMATrON: 81

"A church, a circuit, a town, an individual, or any set of individuals, may endow a scholarship.

These scholarships shall be part of the endow- ment, and shall be under the control of the Trus- tees of the College. All loans, when returned, shall be added to the principal, and will then increase the general endowment. Any individual endowing a scholarship shall be entitled to free tuition for his own sons at Trinity College, and after they have been educated the scholarships shall become the property of the College."

AID TO WORTHY YOUNG MEN. There are verv many worthy voting men who are desirous of a collegiate education, but who cannot immediately pay the entire expenses. It has always been the policy of Trinity College to render to such young men all proper assistance within the control of the college. For this reas< >n expenses have been put at the lowest possible point: tuition being less than at any of the lead- ing colleges in the State. Besides these special advantages, such young men are credited for their tuition fees, payable after they leave col- lege. In such cases the student gives his note to the college. This plan is superior to the free scholarship plan, and more satisfactory in many respects. It is of equal advantage, in that it

furnishes every worthy young man ;in opportu- nity, and no man should ask for more ; it does not depend upon any favoritism by which, fre- quently, the most worthy are denied scholarships, while those able to pay tuition, receive them ; it does not leave in a young- man the sense of hav- ing received something for nothing, but develops in him the highest sense of independence and self-help ; it does not enslave the student in any sense to the institution. These are reasons of vital importance, and should appeal to the no- blest impulses of a young man. It is bad policy to constantly emphasize a young man's poverty, and any benevolence that gives it emphasis, tends to create class feeling on a monetary basis.
