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 department, pursues his studies in his private room, and meets with his class in the public room for recita- tion. No arrangement is made for those who have not sufficient maturity and self-control to study profitably under these conditions. Both sexes recite in the same classes when pursuing the same studies.
Candidates for admission to any of the departments must furnish satisfactory evidence 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 committed to the care of some approved resident of the place, after special arrangement with the Faculty.
REGULATIONS. .
The regulations of the Institution are few and simple, appealing to the student's self-respect and personal responsibility. He is required to abstain from the use of tobaccco and intoxicating drinks. Secret societies are not allowed in connection with the College. No student is allowed to visit one of the other sex at a private room, except by special 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 evening at 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.
There is a weekly prayer meeting on Monday evening for all young people, conducted by the students; and a weekly prayer meeting for each class, conducted by one of the teachers.
EXAMINATIONS.
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 delinquencies. Information
