COMMERCIAL COURSE.
This course of study is narrower in its range than either of the preced - ing. Its design is to prepare pupils for the counting room, and to give them such knowledge of book-keeping as is important for every business man. Many young men and women are so strongly predisposed to some activo business life that they can not brook the restraint of school-life eveu for the time necessary to enable them to complete an Academie or lligh School Course of study, They want to be at work. To such as these the Business College Course affords a means of qualifying themselves in a short time for positions of usefulness and profit.
Another class of yonng persons ought to take this course of study . The college graduate, or the night school graduate, ought not to engage in business until he has added to his other acquisitions a knowledge of the science of accounts. Every lawyer, doctor, preacher, mechanic, farmer, and tradesman ought to be able, in a systematic and intelligible way, to keep a record of his own business transactions. Nearly all cases of bankruptcy have resulted from loose book-keeping. Multitudes of highly educated men are annoyed and put to expense because they do not know how to keep accounts.
OUTLINE OF COURSE OF STUDY.
There are no examinations on entering, and no specifle qualifications ar e required.
There is no class system ; each student receives individual instruction, not being held back by classes but is promoted as rapidly as his atten tion and ability will admit.
The course is divided into two departments-Department of Theory, and. Practical Department.
21
DEPARTMENT OF THEORY.
In this department the student is instructed in the Theory of Accounts ; the nature and use of the Day Book, Cash Book, Journal and Ledger, that part of Arithmetic pertaining dircetly to Business, Commercial Law, Corres- pondence, the form and use of the various kinds of business paper.
Here Mercantile Books best adapted to the different branches of the merchandise trade, such as Groceries, Dry Goods, Hardware, Furniture, Pro- visions, Grain, etc., are opened, conducted, and closed in accordance with the usages of the leading business houses in the large cities.
Commission Books are arranged to meet the demands of firms engaged in the receipt and sale of merchandise and other property on account of the owners and consigners.
Manufacturing-A set illustrating this line of work is opened, conducted and closed, and its pecular forms carefully impressed.
Wholesale Houses and Jobbers' Books of the most improved kinds are used, illustrating the manner in which the principal firms in these lines of trade record their transactions.
Banking Books-Each student is required to classify, and enter into the proper books the transactions of twelve days' business, thus fully illustrat- ing the use of these books.
PRACTICAL, DEPARTMENT.
Here the student shows how thoroughly he has done the work in the Theory Department. Each student is furnished with a capital consisting of College Currency and is required to buy and sell for cash, receive and give notes, draw and accept drafts, deposit and check out money, give and take leases, insure and be insured-in short, perform every kind of transaction that would naturally occur in any line of business, from that of the simplest retail trade to the more complicated wholesale jobbing, commission, and banking business.
Ilaving passed the required examinations he is promoted to the whole- sale house, and finally to the bank, where he keeps for a time all books re- quired in any ordinary bank.
The course in Business Arithmetic will treat of simple Addition, Sub- traction, Multiplication, and Division, and short methods in each.

23
MUSICAL COURSE.
The demands for musical instruction at Fort Wayne College have made it necessary to devote several rooms in the college building to this purpose. Students who wish to devote their entire time to this branch of study can do so under good instruction, and at much less expense than is often paid in other schools. The music rooms are neatly furnished, kept comfortable, and . contain pianos of a quality superior to those usually foun 1 in music schools. These rooms are so located as to be entirely free from interruptions and are under the constant supervision of teachers.
COURSE OF STUDY FOR GRADUATION.
I .- INSTRUMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
In this department the course will include the following topics :
1. A thorough knowledge of notation, including all the peculiarities in writing, fingering, abbreviations, etc., of ancient and modern works for the piano.

3. Technical Studies-the standards in this branch.
4. Reading at sight.

In the course of one or two terms an industrious student can acquire such knowledge as will enable him to pro ceed without further instruction.

REMARKS ON THE COURSES OF STUDY.
It is undoubtedly better that a stu lent should pursue studies according to some definite plan than nt random. There is a mutual interdependence, even in academie 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 case, nor honest hard labor, nor mountains of diffleulty hinder yon. Remember. " Where there's a will. there's a WAY."
3. Be present, ready for work, on the first day of the term.
THE INSTITUTION.
The FORT WAYNE COLLEGE was established in 18.46 by the ministers of the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was chartered in 1847 as the Fort Wayne Female College, afterwards consolidated with an institution known as the Fort Wayne Collegiate Institution for Young Men, and the present name assumed. Since that time the college has been open to both sexes on equal terms.
The school building was erected in 1846-7 on a plat of ground at the west end of Wayne street, Fort Wayne, Ind., one of the most desirable locations in the city. Fort Wayne has an estimated population of nearly 45,000, is n railroad center accessible from ten different directions and a well ordered and healthful city
Extensive improvements were made to the College building in 1884 by an addition 60x73 feet and four stories high. This sandy immediately in front of the main edifice and presents a handsome appearance. This addi. tion contains chapels, recitation rooms, library, reading room, office, dining room and chemien! laboratory, and cost about $15,000. The recitation rooms in the old building have been partitioned into music and art rooms and are well fitted for these purposes.
It is the purpose of thic trustees to ereet ut an early day n new dormitory. Plans have been drawn and accepted by the board. This is a most excellent opportunity for some liberal person interested in Christian education, not only to build for himself a most creditable monument, but to place his means where it will do immense good for generations to come.
25
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.
The spirit of the College is not objectionably denominational, but is distinctively Christian. No effort will be made to make Methodists of stu- dents who are already affiliated with other denominations ; but decided efforts will be put forth to have all our students be religious, and grow in all that constitutes true Christian character. Even the irreligious acknowledge it is safe to be religious. Parents in other denominations may feel safe in sending their sons and daughters to this school, and they will doubtless pre- fer to know that the religious exercises are carried on according to the usages of the Methodist Episcopal Church rather than to have no religious exercises, or that they are not carried on according to the usages of any evangelica! denomination. All students are required to attend chapel exercises each school day and public worship once each Sabbath. A daily religious meeting has been kept up by the students during the past years at an hour most con- venient for all, which has proved helpful to spiritual improvement. Through the influence of these meetings souls have been converted, and many who had well nigh lost their faith in God have been quickened into new life. Students are urgently requested to attend as many of these meetings as they can consistently with their other obligations.
COMFORT AND HEALTH.
It will be the special aim of those in charge of the school to do all in their power for the comfort and health of the students. This will be done by giving special attention to the cleanliness of each room and surroundings; the variety, quality and quantity of the food ; and the regular habits of the the students as to sleep, recreation and study. With extra care on these lines and the healthful location of the institution, patrons of the school need have no undue anxiety concerning the comfort and health of the students.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The Thalonian Society was organized in the earlier years of the institu- tion and is strong and vigorous. Among its former members are found some of the most prominent citizens of the state.
The Philalethean Society was organized in 1878, and has the enthusiasm of a new organization. Its membership is rapidly increasing every year and makes it a lively competitor.
Both societies hold reunions at each commencement that are occasions of great interest to members and visiting friends. Each society has a nicely carpeted and well furnished hall, a fine piano and a good library. Both alike are open to ladies and gentlemen, and students are advised to identify them selves with one or the other, ny they will thereby receive a training which only the literary society can give.
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
A first-class College Library is one of the needs of this institution. There are, however, quite a number of valuable books to which the students mny have access at nn'y timo. Tac Librarian will give special attention to

both the library and reading room, and see that the latter is well supplied with religions and seenlar papers, and many of the leading monthly periodi- cals of the day.
DIPLOMAS AND DEGREES.
Those who graduate with diploma from the Commercial or Academic departments will be charged a fee of two dollars and fifty cents. For those who gradnate with the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Philosophy, or who take the degree of Master of Arts in course, the fee will be five dollars.
THE PEARSON PRIZE IN ORATORY.
The Pearson prize of $25.00, the gift of Rev. F. C. Pearson, D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa., will be awarded to that member of the Thaloninh or Phil- alethean Literary society who shall write and pronounce an English oration in the best manner, the oration not to exceed twelve hundred words. Each society will select two of its members in such a manner as may be determ- ined by the Faculty. Three judges will be appointed whose decision in the matter will be final.
BOARDING AND DORMITORY ACCOMMODATIONS.
The Dining Hall is new, comfortable in summer and winter, well venti- lated, easy of a cess, delightfully situated and large enough to accommodate two hundred boarders. Students who do not room in the college building can secure rooms conveniently near and take their meals in the College din- ing hall. The Dormitory consists of wings attached to the main building, accommodating about ninety students. Ladies ocenpy the north wing ex- elnsively, and gentlemen the south wing. Rooms are furnished with bed- stead, springs, matresses, pillows, all needed bedding, wash stand, bowl and pitcher, slop pail, mirror, study table, stove and chairs. The ladies' rooms are carpeted with ingrain carpets, and the gentlemen's rooms are carpeted for one dollar extra per term.
The trustees at an early day expect to remodel the dormitory rooms, arranging them as far as possible in suits consisting of study, bedroom and wardrobe, all thoroughly repaired, papered and painted. In connection with these improvements will be the heating of the entire building by steam.

PRESIDENT YOCUM'S REASONS WHY YOU OUGHT TO COME TO FORT WAYNE COLLEGE.
1. You ought to have an education. EDUCATION PAYS. It pays in a money making view. Your fathers have become wealthy, perhaps, with little education. But the country was new then. The lands they bought for a small price have constantly risen in valne, and those who onee were poor are now rich, simply by the general development of the country. No such opportunity exists for you. Competition is sharp and you must go to the work of life with a mind disciplined by study. EDUCATION PAYS IN THE HONOR ABLE POSITIONS IT ENABLES YOU TO OCCUPY. All the Supreme Judges. nearly all the Senators of the United States, and a large majority of the members of the House of Representatives are EDUCATED. A Very small proportion of the citizens of the United States have graduated at college, and yet out of that small proportion a very LARGE PROPORTION of the men of rank and station in civil and military life have been chosen. EDUCATION PAYS IN THE SATISFACTION IT GIVES ITS POSSESSOR. The educated man enn sing with the poet, " My mind to me a kingdom is." You cannot be robbed of the enjoyment which springs from a cultivated, fruitful mind.
