The Jubilee Fund.

H^WO years ago, June 13th, 1889, the Central Wesleyan College cele-

-*- brated its 25th anniversary. An effort was made on the part of

the old students to commemorate this occasion by increasing the endow-

ment fund of the college by $25,000. The matter was taken in hand

earnestly, withjprayer and enthusiasm, and with a clear-cut plan of work.

How about the results ? They are certainly very gratifying. The

old students and many other friends responded with generous gifts. The

Fund got a good start, kept it, and still continues to grow. Of the

$25,000, nearly one-half, namely $12,276 is secured in cash; $9,165 in

notes, and $2150 in subscriptions, making a total of $23,591, leaving

a balance of $1409 to be yet provided for.

To help the "grand cause," as Bishop Hurst calls it, and to encour-

age the friends of the college to extra effort, the Messrs. F. G. and

W. F. Niedringhaus of St. Louis promised an additional $15,000 upon

the condition that the $25,000 Jubilee Fund be secured. But they have

exceeded their promise by giving $1500 toward purchasing Prof. Stroe-

ter's property for an official residence of the President, and by settling

their $15,000 subscription before the conditions were fully met.

The importance of this undertaking can not be easily overestimated.

It means a better equipment and a larger development for our college.

It means a grander success, which will grow in volume as the years go

on. It means $40,000 for a school that is sending out a consecrated

and educated ministry. Surely an educational institution that does

such work, and in addition has prepared thousands of young men and

women for increased usefulness in the service of Christ is as worthy an

object of Christian charity, as gospel preaching at home or missionary

effort abroad.

The outlook for the Fund is as good for the future as the results in

the past were gratifying. Loyal students, a devoted people and liberal

friends will not let it fail after the goal has been so nearly reached. The

ball will be kept rolling until it gets there. No effort and no sacrifice

will be spared to make the Fund a complete success. I have a strong

persuasion that hitherto we have been providentially guided, and that

the Lord will give us victory. Soli Deo gloria

seneral (Information.

|p|ENTKAL Wesleyan College was founded by the

}!& German Methodists of the West, and is under the

patronage of the St. Louis German and the WesternGerman Conferences. It is denominational, but not

sectarian. Hundreds of young ladies and gentlemen of

the various denominations have availed themselves of the

privileges here so liberally offered. It is Christian from

principle, because it believes that Christianity is the high-

est form of the divine revelation to man, and destined to

become the absolute religion. It is Christian from policy,

because without exhibiting and teaching the principles of

the Christian religion, the best types of a broad culture,

pure morality, and active philanthropy cannot be realized.

The prosperity of our school during these 27 years has

been of permanent and healthy growth. The number of

our patrons and friends is steadily increasing and God is

opening hearts and purses to meet the growing wants and

requirements. Onr successful past should but serve as a

new impetus for us and all our friends to increased zeal

and greater faithfulness in the important work of thorough

Christian education for our German American youth.

AIM.

Central Weslej^an College makes a liberal Christian

education equally attainable to all. It aims to meet the

wants of all classes of students, and to help them in

their efforts to prepare themselves for their mission in

life. It, however, recognizes the fact, that a large majority

of those seeking a liberal culture, come from the laborer's

13

home, from the farm and the shop ; and, therefore, it hasreduced expenses as low as possible, so that the poorest

youth need not be deprived of the benefits of a thorougheducation. From the first, ladies have been admitted onthe same terms as gentlemen to all the departments andprivileges of the College.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE.

A characteristic feature of the College is the attention

which is paid to German. Its facilities for giving the stu-

dent not only a theoretical, but a practical mastery of the

language, are unequalled by any college in the West. Themajority of the students are of German parentage. Germanis used as a medium of instruction in about one-fourth of

the classes. One of the four literary societies of the College

conducts its exercises entirely in the German language.

All of the Professors understand German, and three of them

completed their education in Germany.

LOCATION.

The College is located at Warrenton, Mo., sixty miles

north-west of St. Louis, on the Wabash and Western Rail-

way, which makes connections at all prominent and inter-

mediate points, North, South, East and West.

The location is high and healthy, in a pleasant part of

the State, on the dividing ridge, separating the Missouri

and Mississippi rivers.

The College has a large and commodious three-story

brick building which supplies rooms for chapel, recitation,

museum and library purposes. The ^ve buildings belong-

ing to the College are situated in a beautiful grove of

maples and forest trees, and present a very attractive and

homelike appearance.

Remarks on the Courses,

CLASSICAL COURSE.Instead of Mathematics, students in the senioryear may

elect seme other study with the advice of the faculty. Stu-

dents completing this course will receive the degree of A. B.

SCIENTIFIC COURSE.This embraces the same studies as the classical course,

with the exception of Litin and Greek, for which Germanand French are substituted.

Students who prefer, may, by permission, substitute

Latin for French. Lessons in Drawing are required. Oicompleting this course the degree of Bachelor of Science is

granted.

LITERARY COURSE.

In this course less Latin and Mathematics are required;

instead there will be found History, German and French.

It leads to the degree of Bachelor of Literature.

Students are earnestly advised to choose one of these

regular courses, since they furnish the most thorough dis-

cipline and offer the best preparation for later professional

study. If, however, students do not desire to complete a

course, they may, by permission of the facult}', enter anyclass for which they are prepared.

NORMAL, COURSE.

An object of the School is to give young ladies andgentlemen an opportunity to prepare themselves to becomeefficient teachers in English, German, or English-GermanSchools. For this purpose a Normal Course of two years

has been organized, offering special advantages to those

intending to teach. This course, in addition to the com-mon branches, includes the practically more useful of the

higher branches, and is thus suited to many, who, for wantof means or other reasons, cannot complete the Classical

or Scientific Course.

19»

Students in this course are required to take Drawingand Vocal Music at least one year, and at least single en-

try Book-keeping.

Any student completing the Normal Course will re-

ceive a diploma as a Normal Graduate.

THEOLOGICAL COURSE.Students desiring to prepare for the ministry will find

a complete Theological Course laid down. Since the studies

are taken in German, it is not deemed necessary to give

the course in the English catalogue.

MERCANTILE DEPARTMENT.In this department special facilities are offered for

gaining a thorough knowledge of Book-keeping by single

and double entry. Besides, students receive instruction in

commercial law, business correspondence, penmanship,

and everything pertaining to mercantile life. They also

have an opportunity of joining classes in the other courses,

if they desire. The full course can be completed in two

terms, if the student has the requisite preparatory knowl-

edge. Having finished the course and passed satisfactory

examinations, the student is entitled to a diploma attesting

his proficiency.

BOOK-KEEPING.The course embraces the theory of accounts by single

and double entry. The student becomes familiar with

day-book and journal entries, opening and closing the

ledger, making trial balances, financial statements etc.,

with books and forms as used in retailing, wholesaling,

commission, shipping, partnership, banking and other

kinds of business. Correct, neat, and businesslike work is

required to pass in this department. — Crittenden's Bookkeeping is used.

COMMERCIAL LAW.The study of this branch embraces the subjects of

contracts, negotiable paper, agency, partnerships, sales,

warranties, guaranties, liens, common carriers etc. The

20

object is to give the student such a knowledge of the law in

regard to these subjects as will enable him to transact

business so as to protect his interests.

PENMANSHIP.We aim to teach our students plain and rapid business

penmanship. The instruction is given by an experienced

penman by means of black-board illustration and copies

written by himself.

Students receive individual as well as class instruction.

Weekly drills are also given throughout the year in all

kinds of business correspondence as : Letters, notes, re-

ceipts, drafts, orders, checks etc.

SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING.Opportunities are also given in this department to ac-

quire a knowledge of the principles of Shorthand and Type-

writing for office work and correspondence. The latest andmost approved systems are taught.

MUSICAL DEPARTMENT.Instruction is given on the Piano, Cabinet Organ, Pedal

Organ, Violin, etc., also in Singing and Harmony. Those,

however, who have the necessary intellectual culture andwho desire to make music a professional study, are earn-

estly advised to pursue a full course.

This consists of the following

:

1. A knowledge of the masters, old and new, and the

ability to play them, (especially Haydn, Clementi, Mozart,

Beethoven, Weber, Mendelssohn).

2. A course in solo-singing ; text-book — Concone's

Etudes.

3. A course in harmony ; text-book — Johnson's Har-

mony.

4. A knowledge of the history of music.

To receive a diploma, students must make a fair stand-

ing in the three subjects of Instrumental Music, Vocal Mu-sic, and Harmony.

B3" For Prices see Page 24. *=C8

2{

RHETORICAL EXERCISESare required at stated times throughout the year.

SOCIETIES.

The Beethoven and the Mendelssohn Associations unite

the musical talent in the school for harmonious action andsupply the music for literary entertainments and concerts.

Three Societies enable students to engage in various

kinds of literary exercises, and to gain practically a famil-

iarity with parliamentary law.

The Goethenian Society consists of young men, who,in all their society exercises, use only the English language.

The Germania-Verern, consisting also of young men,permits only German to be used within its Hall.

The Garfield Society offers special advantages to

younger students.

The societies are in a flourishing condition, and are

considered a very important addition to the ordinary school

work.

The Heading Boom Association keeps a number of the

best Journals, Magazines and Papers, in both English andGerman. Students thus have an opportunity of becomingfamiliar with current events and the literature of the day.

LECTURES.During the year a course of lectures on various sub-

jects will be given, as announced, by members of the fac-

ulty and by distinguished gentlemen from abroad.

For the past yenr the course was as follows

:

Prof.^J. H. Frick: The A. A. A. S. in the Indiana Gas-fields.

Rev. K. Kupfer, Missionary to China : China and the Chinese.

Rev. Dr. Naumann : German Character.

Rev. H. Haggerty : Know Thyself.

Rev. Wm. Schwind : Investigation of Truth.

Miss Anna Geisinger, Missionary to India: Mission "Work

LIBRARY.

The Library contains about 3900 Volumes of reference

and miscellaneous books, which are proving of great use

to students in their work. During the present year about

100 volumes were added by purchase and by donations.

A card catalogue and an index to the magazines in our col-

lection greatly increase the efficiency of the Library. Aterm-fee of 50 cents is required from all students for Libra-

ry purposes, whether they use the Library or not. Dona-tions of books, pamphlets, magazines, etc., received with

thanks. Library donations for the present year amount to

81 volumes. (See page 28.

)

APPARATUS.

The School is supplied with the necessary apparatus

to illustrate and explain tbe snbject of Chemistry andPhysics by means of experiments. Students in Astronomyhave the use of a six foot five inch diameter, refracting tel-

escope. An excellent Engineer's transit also enables stu-

dents in surveying to do practical work.

MUSEUM.

The Museum contains a large number of specimens,

charts, etc.. illustrating mineralogy, geology and zc ology,

and applied sciences ; skeletons and charts are provided

for teaching physiology, and a Herbarium for students in

Botany.

It is hoped that the friends of the College will take an

interest in this department, and assist us in making our

collections as complete and valuable as possible.

24

TUITION.

Tuition charges will not be made for less than a term,

unless a Student enters after the close of the third week of

that term.

No allowance made for any absence less than half a

month at one time, whether caused by sickness or other

good reason ; one-half of the regular prices will be charged.

When students, on account of sickness, are compelled

to leave the school, tuition fees and the amount of board

which have been paid in advance, will be refunded. Full

tuition, however, will be charged those who, for any other

reason, leave before the end of the term or school year. Atleast one month's tuition will be charged in all cases.

BOARDING DEPARTMENT.

The charges for board, light and fuel are only $2.50

per week, making the total expense as low as in Institu-

tions where the students board themselves in clubs. In

the catalogues of such institutions generally the cost of

board only is given, and nothing is said about the ex-

penses for room-rent, furniture, fuel, lights, beds and bed-

ding, and washing the same. All these with but few ex-

ceptions (see below) are furnished at the College for $2.50

per week. Students also avoid all the care, trouble andinconveniences which pertain to a boarding club, and can

devote their whole time to study. Securing supplies,

cooks, kitchen furniture, fuel, etc., give them no care or

anxiety whatever.

The College is in possession of large commodiousbuildings containing private rooms for pupils, and hence a

large number of students can have their rooms and get

their meals at the institution, and so be entirely under the

supervision of the Faculty and Officers of the School.

ROOMS.

Each room is furnished with the necessary furniture

with the exception of mirrors, blankets, pillows and feather

beds. These must be furnished by the students themselves.

They must also furnish their own toilet soap and lampchimneys. Blankets will be furnished at the rate of 25

cents each per term.

If any one wishes to occupy a room alone, he must payextra charges for the same, The Boarding Departmentand rooms for students are in close proximity to the Col-

lege, requiring little or no exposure in winter, and sur-

rounded by pleasant grounds and beautiful shade trees,

making it delightful in warm weather.

26

YOUNG LADIES' HOME.

To accommodate the large and constantly increasing

numbers of young ladies, there is a commodious "Ladies'

Home." It is beautifully situated, has nicely furnished

study and sleeping rooms, and offers to young ladies an

agreeable and pleasant home. Young ladies rooming

here, are under the special care of the matron.

Board, lodging, light and fuel cost $3.00 per week.

REDUCTION OF EXPENSES.

A number of students who board at the College Board-

ing Department will have an opportunity to work, andthereby reduce their expenses considerably.

TEXT BOOKS.

Text books and stationery can be bought at the Col-

lege at reduced prices for cash.

DEPOSIT OF MONEY.

Money can be deposited wih the President for safe

keeping. Parents will do well to note this fact. For manyreasons it is not good for young persons to have control of

large sums of money. The consequences are generally evil.

BOTH SEXES ADMITTED.

Central Wesleyan College admits students of both

sexes to all branches taught in the school. Experience has

shown that co-education of the sexes is for the mutual ad-

vantage of both. In this way some of the advantages of a

well regulated family life may be secured, while at school.

But students of both sexes are not allowed to board in the

same private family, without th^ permission of the Presi-

dent. The association of the two spxes outside of the

school room is strictly forbidden. Students are expected to

note this fact and govern themselves accordingly.

27

DISCIPLINE.

The discipline of the School is mild and in accordance

with moral and Christian principles. Unneccessary strict-

ness and severity will be avoided. In cases where pupils

refuse to be governed by mild means, and admonitions,

warnings and reprimands are disregarded, suspension, dis-

missal or expulsion will be resorted to, in order to preserve

the good name of the school, and to preserve others from

being injured by their bad example. No student who uses

intoxicating drinks, swears, or is guilfey of any other gross

misconduct, is allowed to remain in the College.

We can assure parents and children, pastors and so-

cieties, that we earnestly seek the good of those intrusted

to our care, and, while it may happen, that some few whohave been here, honor neither themselves nor us, the re-

sults of our methods in general have been good and blessed

from On High.

Any further information in regard to the School or its

arrangements will be gladly given. The correspondence of

all interested parties is therefore earnestly solicited.
