OBERLIN COLLEGE.
Thorough instruction in Vocal Music is free to all. Tuition, inciden- tals and all extra charges are payable each term in advance. Second- hand text-books can usually be purchased at the book-stores at largely reduced prices.
LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS.
The College is located at Oberlin, Lorain county, Ohio, a pleasant and healthful village of nearly four thousand inhabitants, thirty miles west of Cleveland. Situated on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, it is easily accessible from all parts of the country. The place was founded as a home for the College, and the population consists chiefly of those who have been drawn there by educational attractions. This gives it a special atmosphere of culture and good order, while as a home for students it is remarkably free from the temptations and dangers often surrounding school life. Hazing is an unknown feature of College life; and the common antagonism between students and the people of the town does not exist in the least degree. There are no drinking saloons in town. But those who seek bad company will find it-or make it- anywhere, and the College does not offer itself as a reformatory for young people who are too wayward for home restraints. The churches of the place consist of two Congregational - numbering some six hun- dred members each-two Methodist, one Protestant Episcopal, and one Baptist. Each student attends the church of his choice.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A student can enter at any time, but it is specially desirable to be present, if possible, at the opening of the term. No money is refunded to a student who leaves before the close of the term, except in cases where one is excused from his classes, within two weeks of the opening of the term, on account of sickness. .
Students who do not wish to take a full course can select such studies in any department as they are qualified to pursue to advantage.
Opportunities are afforded by the lecture courses, that are kept up through most of the college year, to hear the best lecturers in the land ; and choice musical entertainments are furnished, from time to time, in connection with the Conservatory.
Letters of inquiry may be addressed to the Secretary and Treasurer, J. B. T. MARSH, Oberlin, Ohio.

should state their age, state of health, previous attainments, etc. Those who are admitted will be seasonably notified. Young women purposing to live in private families are expected to consult the Principal before engaging their boarding places. Young women are not allowed to board themselves except in special cases, for which arrangements must be made with the Principal beforehand.
Room rent in Council Hall is free, and the rooms are completely fur- nished. The charge for ineidentals is $5.00 a term. In Tappan Hall the rooms are furnished with stove, table, chairs, wash-stand and bed- stead. The charge-for two rooms-when occupied by only one person, is $5.00 a term; when occupied by two persons, $3.00 each. Bedding and other articles of furniture can be rented at a small additional charge.
The price of board varies somewhat with the costof provisions. At present table board at the Ladies' Hall is $2.45 per week, making cost of room and board at the Ladies' Hall about $3.25 per week. The charge, to gentlemen, for rooms in Tappan Hall, with board at the Ladies' Hall, is $2.95 per week. In private families, table board and furnished rooms range in price, according to quality, from $2.25 to $4.00 per week, fuel and lights extra. There is no difficulty in securing board and rooms at any time of the year.
EXPENSES.
The following may be considered as a near estimate of the necessary expenses for a term of thirteen weeks, in any department except the Theological, in which there is no charge for tuition, room rent, or use of Library.

supporting students, and the College has funds for otherwise aiding cer- tain classes of indigent students to some extent. But the chief advan- tage it can offer poor students is the very low rate at which all its facili- ties are afforded.
LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Ladies in all the Departments of Study are under the supervision of the Principal of the Ladies' Department, and the management of the Ladies' Board. They are required to be in their rooms after eight o'clock in the evening during the spring and summer months, and after half- past seven during the fall and winter months.
Every lady is required to present, once in two weeks, a written re- port of her observance and her failures in the observanee of the regula- tions of the Department signed by the matron of the family in which she boards. These reports, together with the marks of her recitations, are recorded by the Principal, and are open at all times for the inspec- tion of the Faculty, the Ladies' Board, and all friends interested.
ROOMS AND BOARD.
Rooms and table board can be had in the College buildings or in pri- vate families as preferred. The Ladies' Hall has rooms for eighty young women, and a boarding hall for the accommodation of its occupants, and of gentlemen rooming elsewhere. It is a fine brick building, with pleas- ant grounds, and easy of access to the recitation rooms. The Principal of the Ladies' Department makes her home here. Each room is in- tended for two occupants. It has a closet attached, and is furnished with inside blinds, air-tight wood stove, bedstead. spring bed, husk mat- tress, carpet, wash-stand, chairs, non-explosive lamp, and other neces- sary furniture, excepting bedding. The latter the occupant furnishes herself. Or, if desired, she can rent it on reasonable terms from the Steward. Each lady also furnishes her own towels and table napkins. Room rent in the Hall is $10.50 a term for each person. This pays, also, for lights, the privileges of the house, and the care of an excellent nurse in any ordinary sickness. Fuel is furnished-delivered in the room-as required. the charge being according to the amount consumed. No room will be considered engaged for any term unless two dollars has been paid in advance on rent. This sum will be forfeited if the room is not taken, unless written notice is given to the Treasurer two weeks be- fore the opening of the term. Any one leaving before the end of the term will not be entitled to a return of any part of the money paid for room rent. Room rent is payable each term in advance, at the Treas- urer's office. Table board is payable each half term in advance, to the Steward of the Ladies' Hall. Applications for admission to the Hall should be made to the Principal of the Ladies' Department. Applicants

students, water and gas supplies, chemicals, apparatus, ete. Those stu- dents electing the Lecture course in Chemistry will also be permitted to eleet in addition the experimental course in Laboratory Practice, using Eliot & Storer's manual. For this Laboratory course a fee of $5.00 for the term will be charged to cover cost of material and supplies consumed. The second term in Chemistry, elective to members of the Junior class, is devoted to Qualitative Analysis-using Fresenius' Manual. A fee of $10.00 will be here charged to cover cost of re-agents and analytical ma- terial supplied.
Students desiring to pursue a further course in Quantitative Analy- sis can do so by making special arrangements with the Professor of Chem- istry. The Laboratory is well furnished with fine balances and appara- tus for advanced chemical work.
MINERALOGY. - The facilities afforded in the pursuit of this study are : An extensive Mineralogical Cabinet; a large collection of crystal models ; Blowpipe tables, furnished with gas and Bronsen burners.
PHYSIOLOGY .- For the use of classes in Physiology the College pos- sesses skeletons, anatomical preparations, models, charts and drawings.
GYMNASIUMS.
The College nas two well-equipped gymnasiums-one for young men and one for young women-in which students are required to take exer- cise with their respective classes, unless excused because of manual labor.
FACILITIES FOR SELF-SUPPORT.
The College does not furnish manual labor to students. Diligent and faithful young men can usually find employment in the village, with satisfactory compensation, for all the time that they can profitably spare from their studies. A large number of the students earn enough while studying to meet a great part of their expenses-by working at trades, doing chores at private houses, taking care of gardens, sawing wood, teaching schools in vacations, etc., etc. Occasionally a student by rigid economy and hard work, is able to meet all his expenses from his earnings in these ways. But in such case his health or his studies are almost sure to suffer. No one should come, expecting to support him- self without at least fifty dollars at his command to use as needed. No student suffers in social position or class favor because he is self-support- ing. A few young men find work in' the care of the college buildings, and about thirty students of both sexes, in the higher classes, are em- ployed one or two hours a day as assistant teachers in the English Pre- paratory School. Special arrangements are made so that those students who are obliged to teach in the winter, can make up the studies of the winter term in the summer vacation, under the instruction of members of the Faculty. Free tuition is furnished to a limited number of self-
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
There is a weekly prayer meeting for all young people, conducted by the students ; and a weekly prayer meeting for each class, conducted by one of the teachers.
EXAMINATION.
At the close of each term the classes are examined in the studies of that Term, and at the end of the year there are general examinations, oral and written, in all Departments.
Every recitation and examination is marked, and a record is kept by the Faculty of the attainments of each student, and also of his delin- quencies. Information concerning his progress and deportment is, when requested, communicated to the parent or guardian.
DEGREES AND DIPLOMAS.
The Degree of BACHELOR OF DIVINITY is conferred upon the gradu- ates of the Regular Course in the Department of Theology; that of BACHELOR OF ARTS upon the graduates of the Classical and Scientific Course in the Department of Philosophy and the Arts.
The Degree of MASTER OF ARTS is conferred upon any Bachelor of three or more years' standing, who has been engaged in literary or sci- entific pursuits, and has sustained a good moral character.
Diplomas, certifying the successful completion of the prescribed Course of Study, are given to the graduates of the Literary Course in the Department of Philosophy and the Arts, and to the graduates of the Conservatory of Music.
LIBRARY.
The Libraries connected with the College number over fifteen thous- and volumes, and are receiving additions every week. They are made doubly valuable to students by the counsel and assistance of a compe- tent librarian.
CABINETS.
The Cabinets in Geology and Natural History amply illustrate the branches of Mineralogy, Lithological Geology, Palaeontology, Archae- ology, Radiate Life, American and Foreign Shells and Insects, and many branches of Vertebrate Life. Extensive and valuable additions have been recently made to these collections.
CHEMICAL LABORATORY.
A Chemical lecture room and Analytical Laboratory have been newly equipped with the proper facilities-convenient work tables for
General Information,
ADMISSION.
The educational facilities at Oberlin have always been open to all applicants, without regard to sex or color. The student, in every De- partment, pursues his studies in his private room and meets with his elass in the publie room for recitation. No arrangement is made for those who have not sufficient maturity and self-control to study profit- ably under these conditions. Both sexes recite in the same classes when pursuing the same studies.
Candidates for admission to any of the Departments must bring tes- timonials of good character; and those coming from other institutions must bring a certificate of honorable dismission. None are admitted to full membership until they have honorably passed a probation of six months. None will be received under sixteen years of age, unless com- mitted to the care of some approved resident of the place; nor any under fourteen, except by special arrangement with the Faculty.
Ladies desiring admission to the Ladies' Hall, should make previous application in writing, certifying their age, state of health, previous attainments, and the time they propose to remain here. Those who are admitted will be duly apprized of their admission. All ladies are ex- pected to consult the Principal before selecting their boarding places.
REGULATIONS.
The regulations of the Institution are few and simple, appealing to the student's self-respeet and personal responsibility. He is required to abstain from the use of Tobacco and Intoxicating Drinks, and from connection with any Secret Society. No student is permitted to visit one of the other sex at a private room, except by permission in case of severe sickness.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.
All students are required to attend Church twice on the Sabbath, and to attend daily prayers in the Chapel, and in the morning with the families in which they board. Every class has a weekly exercise in the English Bible, which all are required to attend.

throughout the year, according to the announcement in the Courses of Study. .
Practical Lectures on General Habits, Methods of Study, and other important subjects, are delivered once in two weeks to the ladies, by the Principal of the Ladies' Department, and to the young men of the Pre- paratory Schools by the Principal of those Schools.
A lecture is given in the College Chapel to the students of all De- partments, each Thursday afternoon. These lectures cover a wide vari- ety of topics, and are delivered in turn by the President and Professors, and by invited speakers from abroad.

The course comprises, besides David's School, Etudes by Wichtel, Kayser, Kreutzer, Prume, etc., with selections from the compositions of Alard, Rode, De Beriot, Spohr, Lafont, Schumann, Schubert, Weber, Mozart and Beethoven.
Viola and Violoncello are also taught, and pupils who are sufficiently advanced in the study of any of these instruments, will have opportunity for practice in string quartettes, trios, concertos, and the Conservatory Orchestra.
The length of time necessary for the completion of this Course can- not be stated definitely, but will vary from three to four years. No pu- pil is allowed to enter upon the last year in any department of Music who has not presented to the Director satisfactory evidence of proficiency in the fundamental branches of an English education.
