Painting and drawing especially should form parts of a liberal education, as they are efficient means of quickening the perceptive faculties. This is no unimportant matter, and none who know the power the eye gains by learning to draw would willingly dispense with it.
Lectures will be given embodying the principles of Linear Per- spective Composition of Pictures, Nature and Qualities of Pigments, Technicalities of Painting, Schools of Art, their History and Charac- teristics.
During the last week of the Spring Term will be held the Annual Exhibition of all Departments, consisting of work executed by mem- bers of the school during the past year.
Art Journals are provided for the pupils of this department.
No deduction made for absence except in case of protracted illness.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL TRAINING.
MARIE ORME ALLEN, M. E. L., PRECEPTRESS ELECT.
ENESEE Wesleyan Seminary is pioneer in making this a specialty. Social etiquette is one of the fine arts. Who shall say it does not deserve a large place in the cultivation of our youth. The strong are none the less manly because no longer rude, and the intellect no less vigorous by reason of its refinement. The idea is not an artificial mannerism, but to render the young people easy and natural in the customs of the best society. The following is the consecutive order of instruc- tion in this course :
Instruction in Behavior at Table.
Special Training in Personal Appearance and Manners, Intro- ductions, etc.
Letters of Friendship, Letters of Courtesy, Invitations and the few Business Letters of which a knowledge is required by every educated man and woman apart from a special business training.
Etiquette of the Parlor, Entering and Leaving Room, etc.
Visiting Cards, Calls, Introducing One's Self, etc.
Etiquette of Social Gatherings, Conversation, Drill in the Giving of Receptions, etc.
In addition to the class instruction, occasional chapel and dining- room talks are given on subjects pertaining to the Social Life of the students.
Those boarding in the Seminary spend one week each term at the table of the teacher of Social Training, receiving instruction in all those little amenities of life so often overlooked by young people.
The work of the department covers all that pertains to a refined, cultured and Christian home and social life, and furnishes invaluable preparation for future usefulness.

STATEMENT.
-
It is expected that students have completed their studies in the common branches before entering this course.
Special arrangements will be made to accommodate students taking the other courses in the Seminary.
Class work is free to Seminary students who take ten private lessons.
Substitutes will be allowed for literary studies mentioned in this course.
Students already prepared in the literary studies can finish the course in Oratory in two years.
We advise students to begin the course in the Fall, although they may commence the study at any time.
The aim of our work in Physical Training is to bring the body to a normal condition, to develop ease and precision in movement, and not, as in most gymnasium work, to gain simply strength.
The course in Social Training given to all students attending Genesee Wesleyan Seminary is free to the students of Oratory. It is a most valuable aid in developing true manhood and womanhood.
The first aim of this school is to develop the health and strength of its pupils, for no permanent success can be obtained without these are present.

GENESEE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The Commercial and Shorthand Departments have been con- solidated and placed under one management. This materially ben- efits the student and simplifies the instruction. Commodious apart- ments, revised courses, and a select corps of teachers assure the best results.
The great inducement for attending this institution is its locality. The endless confusion and the suffocating atmosphere of city life are unknown. Pleasant surroundings and pure air are conducive to the best physical and mental vigor. The high social and religious influ- ences in our Seminary and village stand unparalleled as safe-guards to our youth. Temptations to vice and intemperance are few. Parents appreciate these marked advantages and send to us their young men and women for business training. Read the following explanation in regard to the courses of study.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.
In this department there are three distinct courses: Commercial, Business Training and Penmanship. The Commercial Course is planned for two terms' work. All subjects applying directly to ordi- nary business transactions are taught ; students must pass stringent examinations in each before graduation. The Business Training Course is designed for students of the Literary departments of the Seminary. The elements of Bookkeeping, Business Practice, Corre- spondence and Penmanship are the main features. This Course is designed to occupy but half the student's time. The Course in Pen- manship has been enlarged. Thorough instruction is given in busi- ness, ornamental and ladies' penmanship. The professor of this department is an expert penman and an enthusiastic teacher.
CURRICULUM.
Bookkeeping-Single and Double Entry, Business Practice-Buying, Selling, Shipping, etc., Penmanship, Commercial Law, Civil Government. Correspondence, Business Arithmetic, Grammar and Spelling.
Rapid Calculations,
Commercial and Legal Forms,
Actual Business (Offices).
34
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
BOOKKEEPING.
Bookkeeping is the prominent study of the course. The initia- tory part consists of a thorough drill in the principles of Account, the Theory of Debits and Credits, Trial Balances, Balance Sheets, Opening and Closing Books by Single and Double Entry, etc. Williams & Rogers' Complete Bookkeeping in its revised form is the text-book used. This was recently introduced into this school. Its wide reputation bespeaks its practicability. A teacher experienced in this and various other texts has charge of the department.
PENMANSHIP.
Many a man highly educated in common branches and possessed of good business intellect fails in his career, simply because he is a poor penman. The fact that many prominent men write an illegible hand is no plea for neglecting the art. It has been so systematized that any person by a little careful effort may acquire ability in this direction. Everyone connected with either the Commercial or Short- hand College must take Penmanship, unless thoroughly skilled.
COMMERCIAL LAW.
In order to transact business and to avoid litigation, one must be . posted in practical law. It would be impossible to get a wide knowl- edge of so great a subject in the limited time ; but by application on the part of the student and by means of the condensed text-books used, all practical branches may be studied.
CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
This subject is elective.
CORRESPONDENCE.
The art of letter writing is a rare accomplishment. Nearly all the business of the world is done by correspondence, and many are the blunders and misunderstandings occasioned by carelessness and inability to express the true idea in writing. The first requisites are practical grammar and rhetoric. In commercial correspondence brevity, accuracy and clearness are necessary. As correspondents are usually unacquainted personally, they have no other way to judge each other's business qualities than by the letters interchanged. Consequently, great care should be exercised not only in construction but in form and neatness. An hour every day is devoted to this study, which includes Practical Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Pronunciation, etc. Members of both colleges are compelled to attend this class ; and students from the various seminary depart- ments are admitted free.
35
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
BUSINESS ARITHMETIC.
This subject is taught daily in class drills. Rapid calculations and extensive mental discipline are the ends in view. No text-book is used, as students are expected to understand the principles of written Arithmetic before beginning the Course. However, if any are deficient in this, they may enter a class suited to their ability in the Mathematical Department of the Seminary.
BUSINESS OFFICES.
The principal offices of this department are Commission House, Wholesale House, Real Estate, Insurance, Commercial Exchange, Freight and Transportation and National Bank. In each office there is a complete set of books, and each student in the Commercial Course is given charge of the successive businesses until he shall have become proficient.

SHORTHAND DEPARTMENT.
The Shorthand and Typewriting courses are thorough and practical. Only persons of good educational and business abilities are admitted. Competent stenographers are rare, but only such will be graduated. The standard of excellence is constantly rising, and this institution proposes to keep pace with the times. Its equipments are modern and complete. The time required to finish the course is remarkably short. · The success of our graduates, and the high opinion of their employers are our best references.
SHORTHAND.
THEORY-The first two weeks, or thereabouts, are spent in acquiring a knowledge of the principles and their use. Easy dicta- tion is given from the first. As far as practicable work is done in classes, but a bright pupil is not held back, nor a delinquent one allowed to retard the progress of others.
DICTATION-After learning the theory of the art, constant prac- tice in writing from dictation is given. All Shorthand notes must be read, besides daily reading of Shorthand writing in the text-book and exercises prepared by the principal.
ACTUAL BUSINESS-When sufficiently advanced, students are practiced in receiving actual business letters, forms, etc., which are transcribed either in typewriting or long-hand. They are urged to report all speeches, lectures, and sermons, in order to acquire celerity and accuracy in writing. Each pupil transcribes and submits for correction daily a portion of his Shorthand notes.
37
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
TYPEWRITING.
The past decade marks a radical change in the methods of correspondence. Business men save much valuable time by dictating their letters and other papers to a stenographer, who returns the matter written in plain type. This ingenious device in its perfected form has become so popular that no less than one hundred thousand of them are in use. Competent operators are in great demand, and they receive good remuneration.
MACHINE USED-The more practical machines are used. In the department there are at present Caligraphs and Remingtons.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION-In class, general remarks are given, and technical points discussed. Most of the instruction, however, is given individually, while the student is at the machine. First, the machine must be studied to learn its mechanism and care; then, exercises in fingering are given, followed by speed sentences and easy copying. In the advanced work, business letters and forms, legal and commercial papers, poetical selections, sermons and short- hand notes are transcribed and corrected.

INFORMATION.
The following statements apply to both colleges, unless other- wise qualified.
PREPARATORY EDUCATION-Formal entrance examinations are not given. Any person of ordinary ability and good moral character may pursue Commercial studies. No one known to be deficient in common English branches and business tact will be registered in the Shorthand Department; and at any time during the course if the faculty decide that a student will not succeed as a stenographer he will be advised to discontinue. This is a benefit to student, teachers and the profession.
TIME TO ENTER-New classes are organized at the beginning and middle of each term. However, students may enter the Com- mercial Department at any time. Each person's term will be reck- oned from the date of registration.
HOURS OF STUDY-Regular work in class-rooms from nine to twelve in the forenoon, and from two to four in the afternoon. At other hours the rooms may be used for study if desired. During the evening students work in their own rooms.
TIME REQUIRED-All depends upon the student's ability and application. Competency cannot be sacrificed for time. To be a competent typewritist and correspondent is no small accomplish- ment. Common sense in business is at a premium, and it takes hard work to get it.
The Commercial Course is arranged for two terms. Some are able to finish it in less time. Nothing is gained by rushing through school, neglecting important subjects and injuring health and brain by overwork. " Thoroughness and energy in all honorable under- takings" is a good recipe for success.
PUNCTUALITY-Study hours and recitations must be observed. Absences must be satisfactorily explained, or they will be placed to the student's discredit. Rules of this kind may seem odious ; but they are to protect the diligent and to correct the few careless ones.
EXAMINATIONS-Regular class examinations are held during the term in every department. The final examinations in the Commer- cial and Shorthand Courses consist of thorough class tests in all branches, and Regent's examinations in Grammar, Arithmetic, etc.,
39
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
unless evidence can be given that these subjects have been passed at some previous time. Every part of a given course must be mastered before graduation.
DIPLOMAS-Diplomas bearing the endorsement of the Faculty and Trustees of Genesee Wesleyan Seminary are awarded graduates.
POSITIONS-Much assistance is given in this direction. Compe- tent stenographers and accountants are always in demand. Only the unqualified need to be out of work. These are the great doors to commercial and professional pursuits. Hundreds are going in them daily, but the entrances are never blocked.
DELINQUENTS-Habitual delinquencies subject the offender to suspension. This is a business school, and work must be done in a business-like manner.
BOOKS AND STATIONERY-All supplies are kept in stock, and sold at reasonable prices.
REFUNDING MONEY-After registering no one will be allowed to change departments or leave the school for trivial reasons. The fickleness of Americans is a jest with the world. Investigate, decide, begin, and stick to it. Time lost on account of illness or unavoid- able absence may be made up within a reasonable time.
DOUBLE COURSE-The Commercial and Shorthand Courses are combined in what is called the Double Course. Two separate diplomas are given. Special tuition rates are an inducement.

GENERAL STATEMENT.
HE Seminary is situated in one of the finest sections of the Empire State. The entire region is absolutely free from Malaria, and cannot be excelled for beauty and health. It is of easy access, eighteen miles from Roch- ester by Lehigh Valley and Lima R. R., four from Honeoye Falls Station, on the New York Central Railroad, by the Lima R. R., and seven miles from Avon, on the Erie Railroad.
The village of Lima is neat and attractive. Its homes, stores, streets, sidewalks and lawns are well kept. There are four hand- some brick churches with pipe-organs and the other modern furnish- ings. The sanitary conditions of the town and Seminary are perfect. The sixty years of Seminary influence have largely moulded the moral and intellectual life of the people. It is vastly purer and safer than the great town or city for young people away from home.
The Seminary Buildings crown the large, shady campus above the village. The views on either side are charming. The hills skirting the city of Rochester are clearly in sight. A wide veranda extending along the entire front of the Seminary, one hundred and thirty-eight feet, and three stories high, has been constructed, and adds greatly to its convenience and pleasantness. The buildings are newly painted and renovated. An abundant supply of fresh spring water has been introduced into both gentlemen's and ladies' halls in the Seminary. A new dormitory for gentlemen will soon be erected on the campus. It will be a fine structure, 130 feet long, with society rooms and modern appointments. The entire Seminary Building will be fitted up for ladies.
ENDOWMENTS.
Besides the farm, the Seminary has a large, productive endow- ment ; all of its income means new facilities and lower rates for its patrons. Still, in order to keep the high grade of instructors, who are even now tempted to other fields by larger salaries, and to meet the growing demands of science and the competitions of State schools, there is a pressing need of more endowment. Genesee Conference is pledged to largely increase the present endowment.
43
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
CABINETS AND APPARATUS.
The Cabinet of Mineralogical and Geological specimens embraces an ample collection of rocks, soils, etc., etc., including a full suite received from the State, and it is deemed quite equal to the wants of students pursuing those branches.
The Cabinet of Natural History contains a large number and great variety of specimens ; and to this students have access at stated times.
The apparatus for illustration in Chemistry and Natural Philoso- phy is valued at $3,500. ' These abundant cabinets and apparatus afford facilities for instruction in the Natural Sciences unequaled, it is believed, by any other Seminary in the State.
LIBRARIES.
The Libraries contain about five thousand volumes, and are to be enlarged and vitalized by fresh life and thought in several depart- ments of literature and science from funds already on hand, and more are promised by a generous friend.
READING ROOM.
The Reading Room is furnished with the very best periodicals, dailies, weeklies, monthlies, reviews, quarterlies ; supported by the proceeds of the Lecture Course, and open gratuitously to all students at all hours of the day.
SOCIETIES.
For the Gentlemen, AMPHICTYON and GENESEE LYCEUM. For the Ladies, INGELOW and BROWNING. These societies have each a library and an appropriately furnished room.
They are the life of the Seminary .. In them the students learn to use what they know in debate, and become acquainted with all par- liamentary usage. The attachment to the Seminary is far stronger in those students who have society connections. It gives them always a Seminary home. The societies act as safeguards to the morals of their members. The faculty unreservedly recommend to each stu- dent to become a member of some one of them.
Each society is allowed to hold alternately a public during the Fall and Winter terms.
Organizations of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. exist in connec- tion with the Seminary. A large room in the College building has been fitted up for the purpose and beautifully furnished. A new
44
GENESEE WESLEYYN SEMINARY.
gymnasium has been constructed. Ladies will receive instruction in the Delsarte system by a competent instructor at an extra charge of $I per term. Military Tactics will be taught the gentlemen at a charge of $1 per term. No uniform except a hat or cap is required. The daily drill will be required of all students unless physically disabled.
JUNIORS.
Juniors in all literary courses appear in turn at chapel exercises with original essays and orations each term of the year.
RECORD.
A Record of scholarship and deportment is kept, and a statement when requested will be sent to parents or guardians at the close of each term.
To pass a study, the standing must be at least seventy-five, on a scale of one hundred, and if under this, the study must be taken again in order to graduate. One hundred in deportment secures a place on the Honor Roll.
PRIZES.
Prizes are given on a plan which does not involve personal com- petitions, each student having to do with his own work and record, so that the prizes are tonics to excellence, and not stimulants to emulation and strife.
THE SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE
Is based on the quality and amount of work, daily class attendance and conduct, and will be awarded to any member of the Senior Class whose average standings shall be ninety-five for one year, or ninety for two years, and whose deportment has been correct during attend- ance at the institution.
Prize, gold medal, Greek cross with wreath.
DECLAMATION AND RECITATION PRIZES.
The Declamation and Recitation Prizes will be awarded to gentle- men and ladies of the graduating class in Elocution, or in the Art, Musical and Literary Courses taking instruction in Elocution at least one term, whose deportment shall be correct during attendance at the institution, and whose estimated merit in Elocution shall be ninety- five.
Prize, gold medal.
45
GENESEE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.
The Scholarship Prizes for gentlemen will be sustained 1893 by G. W. Steitz, of Rochester, N. Y.
The Scholarship Prizes for ladies will be sustained 1893 by Rev. John Cline, of Victor, N. Y.
The Declamation Prize will be be sustained 1893 by Dr. James E. Bills.
The Recitation Prize will be sustained 1893 by W. R. Benham.
GOVERNMENT.
Only regulations essential to the purposes of the institution are enjoined. The appeal is to the good sense and conscience of the student. The ideal is to quicken the power of self-control, and to form habits of order, cleanliness and industry, with respect for the standards of the best society. The idle and vicious soon wear out their welcome. For the sake of health and the best results of study, all students are required to retire at ten o'clock.
Matched games with teams outside of the Seminary are not allowed.
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
Is required of all, unless excused for conscientious reasons. Morning attendance at the church and Sabbath-school chosen by the student is required. The Seminary prayer-meetings are voluntary, but are very generally attended by the students, and are occasions of deep religious interest. How many here begin the Christian life ! Away from home and old associations, they more easily yield to the strong tide of young thought and life setting Heavenward. There is no attempt to proselyte-this is no sectarian school-but all possible forces are used to reach and change character after the Christ life and teaching.
Lectures on health will be given without charge during the year by competent physicians. A course of Literary Lectures by some of the most eminent men and women of the country will extend through the year.

The first half day of the term is devoted to registration. All classes meet the afternoon of the first day. Come at the beginning.
