ing to their attainments. • •;T(i«Srt(r.This course is formed to meet the immediate demand for teachers throughout

the State. A certificate of graduation will be given to those who complete this course.

Rhetorical exercises and -weekly JBillc lessons tin? required throughout all the courses.

MEMBEESHIP.For membership in the Institution a person must have a good moral

character, and must sign a pledge to abstain from the use of all intoxicat­ ing drinks and tobacco in every form, while a member of the school.

Pupils from other schools must present certificates of honorable dis­ mission.

Applications for admission should be made at least a month before the beginning of the school year.

Pupils should enter the first day of the school year that they may be immediately classified and thus lose no time. Students in regular classes lose their membership when absent any part of the year. Those pursuing a regular course are held amenable to the authority of the school during vacation, as well as during term time.

Those who have not a fixed purpose to improve their time, and an earnest desire to fit themselves for usefulness, should not seek admis­ sion, as the presence of such is not tolerated.

STUDENT AID.Several students have been aided during past years by the Peabody

Fund and contributions from the friends of popular education. It is ex­ pected that this help will be continued.

There are special funds available for those proposing to enter upon the Theological Course, provided they are able to meet the conditions re­ quired for membership in that course.

The only permanent fund is the "Plainfield Scholarship" of three hundred dollars. • . i

Persons should not come to the school hoping to receive aid until they have applied for it, and received a favorable answer. Those applying should state their pecuniary circumstances, their advancement in their studies, and, as far as possible, what pursuit they intend to follow.

It is expected that those who are aided will, when able, return the amount to aid others.

26 GENERAL INFORMATION.

MUSIC.Instruction is given in both Vocal and Instrumental Music,

BIBLICALSpecial attention is given to instruction in the Bible in order to pre­

pare students for work in Sunday Schools, and for other forms of Christian

service.

.: ." . GEAYES LIBEAEY.By the liberality of K. R. Graves, Esq., of New York, and a few other

friends, the library now contains between two and three thousand vol­ umes. Mr. Graves has also given a permanent endowment of five thous­ and dollars, which secures its steady growth.

In connection with the Library is a Reading Room, well supplied with the leading papers and periodicals of the country, and to both the students have free access.

APPAEATTJS.A good beginning has been made in procuring Philosophical Appara­

tus. A complete set of Surveyor's Instruments has also bscn rrocurcd. Additions will be made from time to time.

STATE APPEOPEIATIOKAt the last session of tlie Georgia Legislature an act was almost unani­

mously passed making an annual appropriation of eight thousand dollars to this Institution. The appropriation was made on condition that the Board of Visitors of the State University should also visit this school; that the money should not be paid by the Governor till the Commissioners, Chancellor H. II. Tucker, D. D., Prof. William LeRoy Broun, A.M., and Professor William L. Mitchell, A.M., members of the Paculty of the Uni­ versity of Georgia, had approved the plan of the Trustees for its expendi­

ture, and that the Institution should educate, free of tuition, one pupil for every member of the House of Representatives, to be nominated by the members. It is hoped that these enlarged facilities will be made use of by those for whom they are designed, and that members of the Legislature will interest themselves to secure the attention of such worthy young per­ sons as reside in their counties. In this way the pressing demand for Common-School teachers may be early supplied.

GENERAL INFOBMATION.

TEACHING-.

Nearly all of those who are sufficiently advanced in scholarship aid themselves by teaching. The demand for teachers is usually in excess of the supply.

County Superintendents of Schools, and others desiring teachers from this Institution, will find it for their interest to arrange their schools, if possible, so as to include its summer vacation, viz., the months of July, August and September. Communications from all such will be promptly attended to.

Students of this Institution desiring to teach will be furnished with certificates of membership and standing. As a means of protection from imposition, applicants for schools claiming to be from the Atlanta .Uni­ versity should be required to exhibit such certificates. '

HISTOEY.This Institution was begun in accordance with a plan formed early

in the history of the work ot American Missionary Association in the South.

The Freedman's Bureau, the Association, and the State of Georgia, •with a few friends, have furnished the means for what has been done.

Atlanta, because of its central position and healthful climate, was selected as the best place for such an institution. A charter was obtained in October, 1867, and a Board of Trustees formed.

The Trustees now hold about sixty acres of land on one of the high­ est elevations in the city, and commanding a fine view in all directions.

The first building was completed in September, 1869. It is a sub­ stantial, four-storied, brick building, neatly finished, and contains parlors, dining rooms, kitchen, bath-rooms, and dormitories for forty girls. Another building of about the same style, in which arc temporary school rooms, and dormitories for one hundred boys, has since been completed. This building is now heated throughout by steam.

DESIGN.

The plan of the Institution for the immediate future, comtemplates an addition to the ladies' hall, and also a central building, for chapel, school rooms, lecture rooms, cabinet, library, &c.

28 GENERAL INFORMATION.

It is expected that a majority of the students will engage in teaching,

and instruction in all departments is adapted to that end. Earnest efforts arc made to induce young men to prepare for the ministry.

The Institution stands on the broadest possible platform, and while intended to be thoroughly Christian, is in no respect sectarian. It offers its advantages to all o° either sex, without regard to sect, race, color, or

nationality.

It is desired to make the school, as far as possible, a home for those who attend. Not only their intellectual, but also their social, moral and religious culture, receive careful attention.

WANTS.

The school being without endowments, is dependent upon the Ameri­ can Missionary Association for all support not derived from other sources.

There is pressing and immediate need of an addition to the Ladies'

Hall.

Other needs are such as all young Colleges have—building, endow­

ments, scholarships, reference books, maps, apparatus, &c.

It is hoped that the time is not far distant when funds will flow into the treasury of this Institution as freely as they do into those of colleges in other parts of the country.

EXPENSES.

Tuition and board, including furnished rooms, fuel, lightsand washing, - per month. $12.00

Tuition for day pupils, - - - - - " " 2.00

Instruction in Instrumental Music, - - .'•' " 2.00 Uss of Instrument one hour a day, - - <«•'•».. 1.00

All payments must bo made in advance on the first day of each month.

All pupils are required to work for the Institution at least one hour a

day. This requirement makes the above low charges possible.

Remittances in payment of bills should be made by money-orders,

drafts, in registered letters, or by express.Make money-orders and drafts payable, during 1875-70, to E. A. Ware,

and address all moneys to him. Receipts will be promptly returned.

GENERAL IXFORJIATION.

MISCELLANEOUS.Eacli pupil should bring a Bible. It is needed for private reading,

for the Sunday School, and for the weekly Bible lesson.

Il is well to bring the text books formerly used.

All should be provided with warm clothing.

Young ladies should have rubbers and waterproofs.

Economy and good taste demand plain and simple clothing. Parents are urged to co-operate with teachers in seeing that none other is worn. No extra dress is required for the close of school.

Letters should be directed to Atlanta L'niversity, Atlanta, Ga.

Experience has taught that much evil comes from pupils receiving food from home. They are, therefore, not allowed to receive it. Friends will please not send it.

Students who do not board at their homes arc not allowed to board out of the Institution, except by special permission.

Boarders are expected to furnish their own towels.
