general ^Infornjutioq.

Fvery applicant for admission must present evidence, of good moral character; and if from any other institution, a certificate of hon-orahle dismission from the proper authorities.

All students in the University are required to attend daily pray­ers, religious services on the Lord's day, and such exercises of in­struction and recitation as may lx» assigned to them.

.Students regularly advanced with their classes in the courses of study are required to return promptly to the University at the open­ing of the session.

The expenses of a student in Lincoln University need not exceed i?150 a year. An exact estimate of the personal expenses of a student, ahove what is included in the session hills, cannot be made.

Many benevolent friends of education are co-operating with the Trustees and Faculty in providing aid for those who need it. Care­ful discrimination is exercised in directing this aid to individuals, so as not to Weaken the sense of personal responsibility and self-reliance. Those who can pay their own bills have only to comply with the reg­ulations for admission, and they will be admitted to the standing in (he classes ior which their previous training has titled them; hut no earnest young man of good abilities and good moral character should be discouraged from seeking the advantages which are here offered. All who need aid should apply for admission to the President, or to some member of the Faculty, and state in their application their pur­pose in seeking an education, what progress they have made in study, and what part of the expenses they can meet.

The students board in clubs, or in boarding-houses adjacent to the University. The cost of board cannot be lixed at an unvarying rate from year to year. During the current year board and washing have been furnished for ?!l per month.

Devotional exercises, consisting of reading the Scriptures, sing­ing and prayer, are held with the students in the chapel every day."

A voluntary prayer meeting is held by the students every eve­ning except Friday.

The Library contains about 8,500 volumes and about 3,500 mag­azines and miscellaneous pamphlets.

THE ENGLISH COURSE. In the year 1S7(> the Board of Trustees of Lincoln University ad­

dressed the following memorial and overture to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church :

"Tlie Hoard of Trustees of Lincoln University, deeply interested in the condition of the Freetlmen, and convinced that their continued destitution of an authorized educated ministry is a reproach to tlie Church and a source ot danger to the country, respectfully urge the General Assembly to devise ami adopt some practical plan to supply this want ; and overture the Assembly to consider and act upon the following propositions :

"First.—Resolved, That this Assembly recognize it as the im­perative duty of tbt! Church to send tlie Gospel to the Freetlmen without delay.

"Second.—That while in the considerate judgment of this Assembly tlie regulations embodied in the fourteenth chapter of the Form of Government respecting the trial of condidates for licensure are an authoritative guide to Presbyteries in determining their qual­ifications, they supersede the discretion of the Presbyteries in the responsibility of committing the ministry of the word to faithful men.

" Third.—That all Presbyteries providentially brought into rela­tions with the Freetlmen be hereby advised to license all colored men of whose call to preach the Gospel they may be satisfied, and whose training and abilities they may deem sufficient to qualify them for this sacred work.

"Fourth.—That tlie Board of Education be instructed to assume in behalf of the Church the pecuniary responsibility of educating in a thorough course of Theological studies in the English language all colored candidates for the ministry recommended to their care by the Presbyteries."

To this memorial and overture the Assembly returned the fol­lowing answer :

"First.—The Assembly has no authority to modify the regulations

LfNlOLN TXIVKKSITY

of our form of government in respect to (jualilie itious of licentiates, so as to make provision for anv class of exceptional cases. At the same time the Assembly recognizes the propriety of the exercise, by Presbyteries, of a wise discretion in their administration of the func­tions intrusted to them by the Church, in view of the great work to be done by our Church among the colored people in this country. The Assembly specially accords such discretion to those Presbyteries, which are Providentially brought into special relations to that work ; meanwhile, in view of the experience of several years, enjoining upon such Presbyteries the obligation to take great care lest incompetent or unworthy men be admitted into the ministry of our Church.

"Second.—This General Assembly does not deem it wise to modify the existing rules governing the Hoard of Education in the aiding of candidates for the ministry in our Church. The Assembly, however, earnestly commends the exceptional cases, referred to in the over­ture, to the sympathy and charity of the Churches, and trust that the friends of our work among the Freedmen will suffer no worthy young man, devoting-himself to that work, to fail for lack of pecu­niary aid."

Minutes of the General Assembly, lK7(i. This answer of the General Assembly virtually affirm-* the first

proposition, that it is the duty of the Church to send the Gospel to the Freedmen without delay. The Assembly specially accords to partic­ular Presbyteries discretion in licensing, as preachers of the Gospel, candidates who have been exercised in a thorough course of Theolog­ical studies in the English language, according to the second and third propositions. And although the Assembly did not instruct the Hoard of Education to adopt a wider policy in supporting colored can­didates for the ministry, its past policy, which has been liberal, was not restricted. The education of colored men in a thorough course of Theological studies in the English language was commended by the Assembly to the sympathies and charity of the Churches and friends of our work among the Freedmen.

The English course in the Theological Department occupies two years. I t embraces the same studies as the full course with the ex­ception of the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures.

ECCLESIASTICAL liELA TIOXS. By the charter of Lincoln University the Theological Depart­

ment is placed under the care of the General Assembly of the Presby­terian Church, iu conformity with the general plan adopted for the supervision of Theological Seminaries. The General Assembly, which met in Chicago in May, 1871, accepted the oversight of the Theo'ogical Department of Lincoln University, as provided in the charter, and approved the appointments and proceedings of the

30 LINCOLN UNIVERSITY.

She was the first to enter this field, when there was no other to under­take the work. Lincoln University was chartered in 1854. She is .still doing a large share of the higher work. Worthy applicants are knocking at our doors, eager for the benefits here afforded. Who will say to us, "Turn no worthy man away who desires an education for the sake of the good he can do with it ?"

Five hundred young men have been sent out from the Prepara­tory Department and from the lower classes of the Collegiate Depart­ment, many of whom are engaged in important positions as teachers in the Southern States.

Two hundred and thirty four have been graduated from the Collegiate Department, after a course of instruction extending through four and in many cases six years. Most of these graduates are engaged in professional and educational labors in the Southern States.'

More than one hundred of the students of Lincoln University have received ordination as ministers in the several Evangelical Pro­testant denominations.

Nine of our students have gone to Africa as missionaries of the cross. Six have laid down their lives in that work. Three others are laboring there as teachers.

The University is consecrated to the glory of God and the good of man. I t has received the endorsement of all who are acquainted with its work. The friends of the education of "colored youth" are cordially invited to investigate its plans and operations, and to co­operate with its officers in conferring the benefits of a liberal and Christian culture on those who prize and so much need this blessing.
