A Business College in a large city has advantages and facilities for a practical education not to be obtained in a small town. With the school in the heart of the city, the student becomes accustomed to an atmosphere of business activity. With the intimate relations between the school and business public, the course of study is more likely to meet the requirements of actual business. These intimate rela- tions present unequaled opportunities for employment.
BUSINESS COLLEGE
This Business College enjoys all the advan- tages mentioned above. It is one of the largest and best in the West. It is located at the corner of the two most prominent thoroughfares in the city, with large, light rooms, and first-class ac- commodations. The instruction is thorough in every respect, being under the immediate direc- tion of specialists of experience, recognized ability and reputation. The tuition and expenses are moderate. The course of study includes bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, penman- ship, arithmetic, commercial law, business forms, etc. Day and evening sessions. Send for catalogues and information.

REMARKS ON THE COURSES OF STUDY.
TEXT BOOKS.
The Text Books for every study will be carefully selected, and change s will not be made except where the advances in knowledge and methods make it necessary. Owing to the reorganization of the faculty and the addi- tions made necessary in many departments in passing from Fort Wayne College to Taylor University, explanatory information concerning the courses of study can not be got ready in time for this first catalogue of Taylor Uni- versity; but all these things will be arranged before the opening of the first session of the University.
It will be well, however, to state that the arithmetic classes of the Nor- mal Course will embrace all the essentials of arithmetic. They are intended for the general student and for those who are preparing to teach. Special business methods in arithmetic will be taught in the Business College.
It is undoubtedly better that a student should pursue studies according to some definite plan than at random. There is mutual interdependence, even in academic studies, which should not be overlooked. It is earnestly advised that students commence at the beginning of the foregoing courses of study and prosecute them consecutively to the end. Students sometimes think it is best to select studies from any part of the course, but in almost every case their judgment in after years has been that it is much better to begin at the beginning and proceed through the course of study as laid down in the catalogue. If students desire to change from one course to another, and it meets the approval of the Faculty, it can be done. Or, if for good reasons, the student desires to take studies out of their regular order, and it can be arranged without conflicting with other recitations or the forming of extra classes, it may be done. We desire, however, to lay emphasis on the follow- ing suggestions:
1. Settle upon what course you want to take, and then make everything bend in that direction.
2. Let neither trifles, nor ease, nor honest hard labor, nor mountains of difficulty hinder you. Remember, "Where there's a will there's a way.
3. Be present, ready for work, on the first day of the term.
MILITARY TACTICS.
A military company is organized each term and continued through the year. Springfield rifles and acoutrements have been furnished by the State, and the cadets are drilled in the U. S. Infantry tactics by a competent and experienced commander.
The drill is optional, but when a student has joined the company, he is expected to be prompt and regular on all drills.
A fee of one dollar is charged to pay for instruction.
The purchase of uniforms is also optional, though it is urgently requested that all members provide themselves with the prescribed uniform. This con- sists of coat, pants and cap of dark blue, with Indiana regulation buttons. The suit costs only $14.00, and is serviceable and becoming. Some of the advantages from the drill are as follows:
14
1. It affords exercise. Boarding students particularly are liable to suffer from want of exercise. The change from active employment to the sedentary life of the student deranges the system. The military drill in a large measure counteracts this.
2. The drill cultivates good form in standing and walking, and promotes neatness in dress. Spurgeon says that every theological seminary ought to have the drill to enable its members to walk without shuffling, or stooping or stumbling. A manly, erect carriage is certainly induced by long con- tinued military drill.
3. The prompt obedience, unflagging attention, and steadiness of nerve required in executing the orders of the commandant, afford a valuable mental and moral discipline.
TEACHERS COURSE IN BIBLE STUDY.
This course will open Monday, October 13, 1880, and continue four weeks. Missionaries, Evangelists, Deaconesses and Sunday School Teachers will find it specially suitable as a preparation for their work. Two Bible readings will be given in the University building each day. Dr. Daniel Steele, of Boston, will deliver two lectures during the course on "How to Teach the Word." Dr. S. A. Keen, Cincinnati, Ohio, will deliver three lec- tures on "Preparation for Teaching the Word."
Miss M. C. Hedrick, for five years superintendent Calcutta Girls School, Calcutta India, will deliver two lectures on "How to Save the Masses.".
Bishop William Taylor, of Africa, Dr. C. A. VanAnda, of Indianapolis, Ind., and E. P. Brown will also lecture during this course.
Tuition for Teachers course in Bible Study, including lectures, $5.00; Missionaries free.
NORMAL COURSE IN SACRED MUSIC,
Commencing October, 13, 1890, and continuing four weeks. Forty les- sons will be given; also a chorus class will be organized, to which all taking Normal Course will be admitted free. This course will be expressly adapted to teachers, choristers, organists, with all who may lead in Sacred Song. The course will include Notation, Expression, Articulation, Adaptation, Organ- ization and Government. A complete programme will be sent to all desiring to enter this course, by addressing R. E. Hudson, Alliance, O., or Dr. C. B. Stemen, Fort Wayne, Ind.
Tuition for Normal Course of forty lessons, including chorus class of ten lessons, $10.00.
