BELMONT COLLEGE. LOCATION.

ELMONT, the historic Southern residence, will be immediately recognized as an ideal college home. To its original and magnificent interior and exterior attractions, perfected conveniences for the elegant accommodation of girls and young women have constantly been added. Though located in West End, Nashville, Tenn., with electric car-lines to the north and west entrances, Belmont has perfect repose and freedom, and combines all the essential advantages of suburban life with easy access to a city, the acknowledged center of education and culture in the South. From the beautiful grove, well shaded with native forest trees on the north, to the bright and sunny exposure of the Park on the south, all is one scene of beauty, appealing warmly to the ~sthetic nature too frequently neglected in our hurried American life. The adamant walks and macadamized drives, the gymnasium and bowling-alley, tennis, golf and hockey, the conservatories, the pavilions, the statuary, flowers and shrubbery in profusion, all persuade the student to much out-door exercise, without which no mind is capable of its best work.

CHARACTER. The guiding thought or spirit of our work is the conscious desire to impart practical knowledge in such manner as best develops power, recognizing that far higher than this is the pure, unconscious influence that emanates from the atmosphere and environment of a wisely directed school, and is woven into the lives of all who come within its contact. Our efforts to develop womanly character have not been without reward, and to thorough scholarship we would unite culture and refinement, seeking to eliminate the elements of extravagance and fashionable dissipation, and to encourage economy and earnest, thoughtful preparation for lives of usefulness. We would continue our work in "the fear of the Lord," striving, with his blessing, to elevate the tastes and uplift the minds of young women to the appreciation and enjoyment of all that is finest in the bountiful gifts of an ever-indulgent Providence. It is our purpose to furnish opportunities for a liberal education, obviating the necessity of leaving the traditions and associations of the South during the formative period of young womanhood. Special courses for those unfitted by circumstances for

the work of the regular Schools will be maintained at a high degree of artistic excellence. College preparatory courses are offered for those who desire to continue their studies in the older Eastern colleges and universities. We desire to acquaint our pupils with the finest expressions in art, music and oratory, and the opportunities of the school will be constantly supplemented by visits to the city, which is easily reached in fifteen minutes. Nashville, so rich in resources, is pronouncedly a city of churches, as well as of schools, and no young woman will find herself remote from the place of worship of her choice. In pursuance of our present plans and intentions, students will, in the course of their culture, be prepared for travel, both in this country and abroad.

LIMITED NUMBER.

•

Long the advocates of a comparatively limited number, recent years have taught us that the best work is accomplished where the classes are sufficiently small to secure individuality of instruction and training, and yet so large as to insure interest and enthusiasm. All large classes are divided and subdivided that earnest, thorough study may be exacted from each student. Girls thinking more of amusement and entertainment than of self-improvement are not advised to enter Belmont.

Only a limited number of new students can be received each year, and parties wishing to secure rooms will be under the necessity of reserving them early.

PLAN OF WORK. The College embraces Eleven Schools, viz.:

1. SCHOOL OF ENGLISH. 2. SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES. 8. SCHOOL OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES. 4. SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS. 5. SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCE 6. SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY. 7. SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION. 8. SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. 9. SCHOOL OF ART. 10. SCHOOL OF MUSIC. 11. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SCHOOL OF ENGLISH. MISS WENDEL. MISS BUCHANAN.

MISS MAXWELL. MISS WILSON.

We are unusually well prepared to give such attention to the study of English as the times demand, and since it is estimated that another half-century may see our vernacular the language of the civilized world, to speak and write correct and elegant Engiish may well be young lady. In this, as in other schools, we lay a foundation for the entire course in the preparatory work, observing the natural ordercorrect use first, then theory. We strive earnestly to make our students familiar with our rich, flexible, and wonderful mother tongue.

°" "

The course embraces Study of Words, Structure and Analysis of Sentences, Rhetoric, Composition, Criticism, History of Literature, and Classics. Especial attention is given to composition, and each young lady is expected to write as well as speak her language correctly. Written tests are made throughout the school, to serve a twofold purpose: first, to test the pupil's knowledge of the subject treated and her power to retain and reproduce that which she has studied; second, to make habitual good spelling, careful punctuation, and correct forms of expression. Advanced Rhetoric classes make a thorough study of style, laying claim for their verpoee to ehe vole 9 trasuko. A as nary ins a aae gt and, whenever found, is perseveringly encouraged; the development of taste in this direction is a subject for studious consideration. The last year's course embraces a critical study of prose, poetry and versification. The principles of a chaste and elegant prose style are thoroughly impressed. Summaries of historical periods, analyses in science, reviews in literature and art are constantly required for practice. Students of English Literature occupy themselves with the literary history of the language, the historical occurrences of the age, and the biography of authors, and make so far as time permits, acquaintance with their works. Reading-clubs, conducted by the different teachers, have as their aim the promotion of a fondness for reading and a cultivation of the taste with respect to what shall be read. Students are divided into these clubs according to their already developed taste, and a literary classification is thus secured to which the English masterpieces are applied. Translations from other tongues are also profitably and entertainingly used. Senior and post-graduate classes devote themselves to extended courses of reading.

""y]

The talks and lectures on History are continued throughout the course. Conversar tions, discussions, debates, serve to give pupils a facile hold on the information gained-

•

BELMONT COLLEGE.

Truth is sought wherever it may be found, and gleanings compared. Newspapers and magazines are not ignored, and conclusions drawn from the experience of the past are recommended as guides to right living in the present. Biography forms an important feature in all historical work. Earnest effort 1S made to give pupils a comprehensive view of the march of events. Periods are studied with special reference to their bearing on passing events, and with a vigor of research that secures healthy mental discipline and fits young women to cope intelligently with the issues of the present.

SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES. MISS SCHOENI.

We invite students to the class-room of this school with pleasurable satisfaction. Our teacher is fully abreast of the times in her knowledge of methods, employing in her teaching such plans of instruction as have been most successful in the schools of the East. Constant and persuasive attention is given to conversation; students conversing almost before they are aware, the method contributing to interesting, rapid and thorough advancement. In the French classes many devices are employed to attain fluency, while a systematic, scientific study of the language is progressing. Conversation at tables, "French Evenings," dramatic readings in the Recreation Hall, win attention to the language and contribute to the profit and enjoyment of all. In the German course, instruction in grammar is given in all classes with written and oral exercises and reading of prose and poetry, the matter read being made the subject of conversation in German. Translations at sight from German into English and English into German will be used as a means of mastering the language, special attention being given to idiomatic expressions. The history and literature of Germany will be considered throughout the course, and the rich treasures of the language will be brought into prominent notice. Choice extracts are committed to memory, and such a foundation is laid as will attract to an extended study of the language after school years. The excellent results attained in this school may be measured by the French and German recitations and dramatic performances of Commencement week, and by visits to the French dining-room and German table.

SCHOOL OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES. MISS COURTNEY.

On account of its direct bearing on English and because it furnishes the key to several modern languages, we desire especially that all pupils shall study Latin. Wisely presented at the beginning, the study presents few difficulties to the young mind. A knowledge of this language and of Greek is of the highest value in acquiring a clear and forcible command of English, and without an acquaintance with these tongues a vast amount of our own literature becomes comparatively meaningless. A study of the classical languages affords one of the best means of intellectual culture, and she who is not versed in them can lay no claim to a scholarly education. There is no charge for these studies, and we invite our students to an extended acquaintance with authors whose works gave them pleasure, and to the pursuit of other and more advanced works, urging that they will, in after years, feel abundantly repaid for the time and energy spent in the preparation of their advanced Latin and Greek. Our methods are those learned educators have found best adapted to conduct the student into close acquaintance with these noble tongues, and they have universally won the applause of visiting scholars.

BELMONT COLLEGE. SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS. MISS BLALOCK. MISS WILSON.

As the end of all study should be growth rather than acquisition, pure mathematics is taught with special reference to the healthy exercise and development of the reasoning faculty. In these trying studies of relations, comparisons, and applications, we endeavor to have our pupils attain thoroughness and independence. Rules are deduced from underlying principles and demonstrated in accordance with the same. We proceed on the principle that a theory is useless until practice impresses its truths and makes it serviceable. These branches are studied mainly for the mind-training they give, but applied and practical mathematics are not neglected. In the study of arithmetic we seek to secure accuracy in practical work, and all calculations that are called for in every-day life are investigated and mastered. The degree of mental discipline necessary to the beginning of abstract reasoning having been secured, Algebra is commenced, and the development of this faculty is kept constantly in mind hereafter. Geometry is taught by recitations from the text-book, original demonstrations of problems, and by applications of the principles studied to numerical examples. Having gained facility in the use of the tables, students in Trigonometry apply the principles taught to work in mensuration and surveying. In our senior years students consider the elementary properties of lines and surf aces of the second degree, supplementing their knowledge by numerous exercises and applications, the last year being devoted to Analytical Geometry of three dimensions. So careful is the teaching in this school and so judicious the adaptation of subjects and treatment to the learner's capacity, that fully one-third of our students are prepared to enter the lists for highest honors. We are gratified to note a growing interest in solid study, and those showing special aptitude for mathematical studies are encouraged to wider and more vigorous investigations.

SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCE. MISS COOKE. MISS WILSON.

Our motto in this most delightful school is "Read Nature in the language of experiment." In the words of a famous scientist we urge our students to "look and learn.'' We conduct the study of the positive sciences, begun in the oral science lessons, in such manner as to bring the student into more careful and accurate acquaintance with nature and the laws of nature. A spirit of inquiry and investigation is encouraged by every legitimate means. Text-books are used to aid in classifying and mapping out information on the subject in hand, and to secure the axioms and a comprehensive view of the whole science; then the natural object becomes, so far as possible, the subject of observation and thought. Our teacher is fertile in devising material for and in conducting experiments, and our laboratory and museum will rapidly increase in extent and value. Long, delightful days in the fields and woods reward the patient, persevering student of the elements, and, studying the laws and processes of nature, the mind turns gratefully to the Creator who made and orders all. Careful thought is given to this school as a means of mental discipline, and earnest attention is invited to the laws of the human body and the means of preserving it in a healthy state and increasing its powers of endurance that it may be efficient in the Master's service. (See special Laboratory Leaflets.)

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY. MISS BLALOCK.

The subject of Mental Philosophy is presented historically with outlines and lec tures on the different schools of Philosophy. Writers are studied, different opinions

=m:

BELMONT COLLEGE.

examined and compared, and a wide range of the topic under consideration is presented to classes for discussion. As students gain correct views of the mental operations and their relations to each other, Moral Philosophy is taken up. A system of morals, practical rather than theoretical, is taught, setting forth man's duties and showing the application thereto of the laws of morality. Logic takes its appropriate place in the study of the mind, and our students are recommended to pursue this subject earnestly, that they may secure precision, method, and definiteness in thought, and the consequent clear and adequate expression of it. Political Economy and Civil Government are taught by Lectures. Essays, Analyses and Discussions enter largely into the work of this school, and, with due respect to authority, independent and original thought is encouraged.

SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION. MISS TOWNSEND. MISS PENDLETON.

"Art is the expression of man's joy in his work."

We dignify this department with the name school because we believe the subject is nowhere more acceptably taught. We have unusual facilities for presenting it forcibly and attractively. With teachers, graduates of two of the first schools of oratory of the country, and special students with several well-known masters of expression, pupils may enjoy exceptionally fine opportunities at Belmont. It is fair to say that the teaching in this school is reflected throughout the institution, arousing our students to no small degree of energy and enthusiasm. Since easy reading and power to easily glean thought from the printed page lie at the foundation of all successful work in the further progress of education, particular attention is paid to the reading of the younger girls. Many difficulties that collegiate students experience in gleaning thought from the printed page are directly traceable to erroneous teaching of the first reading-lessons. Students should be led to expect to find and find thought in everything they read. As a word should suggest spontaneously an object or idea, so should a collection of words a thought. The student reading understandingly reads with pleasure, reads more, acquires a greater knowledge of word-meanings and more facts, and teachers no longer endure the helpless gropings of students in their efforts to fathom the text-book explanations. Great care is taken to preserve purity of voice, and absolute correctness in the quality of the elementary English sounds is perseveringly insisted upon. Careful harmonic training, thorough drills in articulation and wisely-considered appeals to the emotional nature, prepare pupils for the further pursuit of the subject. All students have free access to class instruction in this school, extra charge only being made for individual instruction and special class instruction where the number is limited All students continue in reading until their voices are rich and round, and until they can read at sight easily and intelligently. In advanced classes close attention is given to the science and art of Elocution. No pupil can afford to lose this opportunity for securing a pure, characterful voice, correct and refined speech, and an easy, reposeful manner. By the nice attention it demands to the "living thoughts of leading thinkers," elocution stimulates mental action, quickens the moral sensibilities, and impresses spiritual truths. Demanding, as it does, one's best physical powers, it promotes attention to health and thoughtful care of bodily conditions, and is, therefore, a fitting preparation for other studies. The same training that is necessary to fit one for finished platform perform ances reflects upon the conversational voice and manner, and bespeaks the lady of culture and refinement. Our students show a uniform improvement in voice soon after entering our classes. We have had students, pupils of Miss Heron for four and six years, who are fitted to

take enviable place among the professional teachers and readers now before the public.

Readings in which one young lady gives the entire programme are special features of

our school.

SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. MISS HILTON.

Our Gymnasium is directed by teachers of experience, who are well prepared to present the subjects of physical training in their most attractive as well as most approved forms. . . . . • It is desired that every student shall participate in these exercises; the training and development thus secured being invaluable, whatever the sphere afterwards occupied; and to this end the charges have been put at the low rate of twenty dollars for the Gymnasium year.

It is now too late to urge the importance of systematic physical training when women everywhere, from the fashionable belle to the earnest business woman, are devoting themselves assiduously to the pursuit of physical culture; but the young are uninformed and inexperienced, and we frequently find students most needing this culture least inclined to enter upon it. The flabby, muscleless girl; the bent and stooping, without power of erectness; the stiff and angular, may all be greatly improved in general appearance as well as health, by wisely-directed exercises carefully followed. Southern girlhood has, as a rule, very little to cultivate its power of endurance. Many women break and fall by the way when the strain of actual life is upon them. Where our English sisters walk, we ride. How many girls are really good walkers? How many cultivate persistently other healthful forms of out-door exercise? The Gymnasium must help to remedy the defects this neglect has entailed, and teach at the same time a more rigid perseverance in out-door exercise. Daily military drills for all students constitute a unique and wholesome feature of our work in behalf of health and grace.

TEACHERS' COURSE. Our graduates and special students seeking positions to teach are invited to correspond with us as heretofore. The teachers' registry will be maintained, and our opportunities for assisting deserving and well-qualified young women are constantly on the increase. For immature and undisciplined girls seeking to prepare themselves for a means of self-support we cordially recommend our Teachers' Course. Here the student, while engaged in the regular course, or a special course adapted to her particular needs, has the privilege of attending without cost the sight-singing, drawing, and modern language classes, and of observing the methods, expedients, and devices of the specialists there engaged. The same opportunities, according to her line of work, are accorded her in all the other classes of the College. To the observant and earnest student these occasions are full of suggestion and inspiration, and furnish a means of practical training more potent than the best devised, most discriminating theory. As a part of her training she also, upon invitation, takes charge of regular classes in the presence of the regular teachers, receiving beforehand that teacher's instructions and suggestions as to the work to be taught, and afterwards her criticisms and counsel. This training is supplemented by a carefully-arranged course of reading from the excellent teachers' libraries now extant, practical talks upon the teachers' experience, and lectures upon the science and art of teaching. All letters and communications concerning this course, or positions to teach, should be addressed to the "Teachers' Register."

BELMONT COLLEGE.

BUSINESS COURSE. Those desiring a complete and thorough business education will be afforded the opportunity. Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting, and Telegraphy are taught by capable and experienced teachers. Students needing a review in Orthography, Grammar and Rhetoric, Penmanship and Business Arithmetic, may take it without extra charge in the regular collegiate classes. Those acquiring the desired proficiency will be assisted in securing remunerative positions. The inexperienced are carefully prepared to meet the obstacles and temptations incident to a business career. Diplomas are conferred upon those satisfactorily completing the course.

SCHOOL OF ART. MISS DAVIESS. MISS LIPPINCOTT

In view of the great importance of drawing as an educational factor, we urge all pupils to avail themselves of a knowledge which will render them practically familiar with scientific and mathematical illustrations and with the industrial arts, which at this time open so many avenues to lucrative and delightful employment. A knowledge of the principles of drawing is also absolutely necessary to the successful pursuit of any branch of art, no pupil, however talented, being able to advance without correctness in drawing. Class exercises and drawings in the subjects studied during the year, together with the paintings, if any, must be submitted to show if the pupil has secured the knowledge and manipulative skill necessary to pursuing her work alone. If the works are approved and the average per cent in time-sketches and tests has been reached, the student will be entitled to a certificate of distinction at the end of the year. Students failing to meet approval in any part of the work may repeat that part another year, but will not receive any certificate until all test-subjects have been passed and all certificate works approved. The teachers require a certain amount of work to be done by the students between lectures and class-periods, which must be regarded as part of the regular studio work. Two hours' instruction per day in class is allowed each pupil. Extra charges for longer time. Not less than one work nor more than two works from the set belonging to each student will be retained as the permanent property of the school. The student who produces the best set of works in her class will receive a certificate testifying to the fact; these sets will remain for one year on exhibition in the school. At the close of each year a medal will be awarded to the student who has the highest general average in studio deportment, diligence, regularity, class exercises, tests, and practical work in drawing or painting, or both. 'This medal, therefore, is a flattering tnbute to several womanly qualities, as well as a testimonial to high standing as an amateur artist." Our methods necessarily develop self-dependence, and we desire to lead our pupils to create, not copy. All works are selected in order to apply and illustrate knowledge already acquired, and hence our students have trained hands guided by a mind which intelligently interprets what the eye sees Our studio is well equipped with models for drawing, and the Belmont statuary offers some fine models for special study. Our pupils will be afforded every possible opportunity of seeing and learning of good pictures, that their art taste may grow until they can appreciate and enjoy that which is fine, and be able to judge works of art that come in their way with some degree of discrimination and taste.

BELMONT COLLEGE.

During the entire course appropriate works of art, selected by the teacher, will be read by the students in different grades. The Art Circle has as a part of its work the presentation of current art news and subscription to and continuance of art journals and periodicals in the College. Lectures on the History of Art, Artists, and Artistic Anatomy will be given during each year. All works of the School of Art will be on exhibition during Commencement week and at occasional Art Receptions during the year.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC. EDOUARD HESSELBERG,

Director. (Send for Music Pamphlet.)

No expense will be spared to sustain the present high standard of our School of Music. The methods established will be continued, and these will be strengthened by the experience of teachers who have supplemented their home instruction by years of study in the best schools abroad. Music is taught as a science and understandingly. Piano, Organ, Violin, Guitar, Theory of Music, Musical Composition, and History of Composers take their appropriate places. The History of Music is, also, an interesting theme of study. Special attention is paid to Technique and Theory. All music pupils have class lessons in reading and writing music, and those desiring special lessons in harmony may make arrangements for them. Due prominence is given to the cultivation of readiness in sight-reading, and all students are subjected to tests of their capacity in this direction. Playing from memory is, also, assiduously cultivated. As a means of compelling accuracy of time. much attention is given to duet and quartette performances, and ensemble playing. Pupils of similar advancement frequently attend one another's lessons that they may compare results, and, by observation of the varying performances, establish standards of excellence. Selections studied by the pupils to be performed at their rehearsals are frequently played at the teachers' recitals. Teachers will give programmes of classical music and 'programmes of modem music and public concerts twice yearly. The opportunity of hearing as much good music as possible is earnestly coveted for our pupils. To the usual opportunities of appearing frequently in rehearsal and concert, any young lady sufficiently advanced may add a recital. The advantages are obvious. Besides the cultivation of independence, self-reliance, and the stimulus to an increased repertory, a young lady so appearing acquires a sense of power usually missing in the amateur performer. We add a few programmes. Much interest has been manifested in our Violin Class, and in the Mandolin and Guitar Clubs, and some of our concerted numbers have been highly enjoyed by critical musicians. Students of Vocal Music will continue the same careful work, developing and cultivating their voices, according to approved methods. The emotional nature as touched and aroused by elocutionary training is reflex in benefit here, our pupils singing with more expression than is usual. The principles of Vocal Music, sight-reading, etc., are taught to the school as a whole. The chorus, which has proved such a stimulating feature of our school-room work, will receive an increased attention. Frequent lectures upon musical subjects will serve to broaden the student's knowledge, to increase her interest and enthusiasm, and to secure appreciation and enjoyment. Students finishing successfully the course in Piano or Voice and passing the various musical tests will receive the Diploma of the School of Music Certificates indicating excellence or teaching power are also given.

Special Notice. Students passing the certificate examination shall not take it as an absolute guarantee of graduation at the end of the following scholastic year. The completion of any grade does in no case mean one year's work; the making of a grade depends on the intelligence, diligence, perseverance, and above all the musical ability and talent of each individual student. Hereafter each candidate for graduation must pass creditably a preliminary test at the end of the first term. These tests shall be assigned by the Director of Music to each candidate individually, and only upon having passed such a test to the satisfaction of the entire Music Faculty will the candidates for graduation be allowed to give their graduation recitals and stand final examinations.

HISTORY OF MUSIC. MISS CONNER.

A course of lectures is given, comprising one hour each week throughout the year. These lectures deal with the development of music in all its forms, from the earliest traces of music down to the present day, and form the basis of the private reading of the students.

The course is required of all candidates for graduation. Admission to the class will be limited to those who are able to give to the instructor in charge evidence of the requisite advancement in general musical knowledge.

CERTIFICATES, DIPLOMAS AND DEGREES. These will be awarded according to the teachers' estimates of the candidate's standing, womanhood and general culture, and according to the results of her tests, and are as follows: 1. CERTIFICATE OF DISTINCTION. 2. CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY. s. DIPLOMAS IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. 4. ENGLISH DIPLOMA. 5. LATIN DIPLOMA. 6. LATIN DIPLOMA WITH A.B. 7. LATIN DIPLOMA WITH A.M. 1. Certificates of Distinction are conferred upon students who have been uniformly consistent and honorable in conduct and faithful and conscientious in study. A pin has been adopted. 2• Certificates of Proficiency are awarded to all students who have met the teachers' requirements and passed with distinction all the tests upon any study of any of the regular Schools. (See pages 27-37.). 3• All students completing the course of study in any particular School will receive the diploma of that School. (See "Plan of Work" and pages 27-37.) Only such students as have completed our Junior Course,or its equivalent, are eligible as candidates. A scholarship average of 80 will be required. 4• A1l students completing the courses of the four Schools, English, Science, Mathematics and Philosophy, submitting an essay of approved merit, and bearing evidence of sufficient womanhood and general culture, will receive the English diploma. A scholarship average of 80 will be required. 5• All students completing the above and the course in Latin will receive the English diploma and the Latin certificate. 6. Such as add to the above the course in one modern language or the course in Greek will receive the Latin diploma and the degree A.B. 7• Such as hold our Latin diploma and the degree A.B. will, upon the completion of our Post-graduate work, or its accepted equivalent, receive the degree A M.

MEDALS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. Medals are not given to supersede the natural rewards of a good conscience and pleasure in mental conflict and attainment, but as incentives to the less industrious. less ambitious students. By providing so many rewards we widen the circle of competition and, we believe, meet one of the gravest objections to the system. There is, moreover, a pleasurable, zestful interest in a trial of skill among well-matched companions that should probably not be denied the young. Gold medals will be awarded for the following: Promptness and Regularity, Scholarship, Art, Elocution, or may all be given for Promptness and Regularity alone. Handsome gold medals are awarded by the Jesse French Piano & Organ Company for Piano and Voice, and by some of the teachers for Piano and Violin. Also, the Director's Medal, and the medal for Voice Culture, by the Kimball Piano Co. For conditions see Music Pamphlet.

MEDAL-STUDENTS' CONTEST. As encouragement to progress and the pursuit of self-improvement after leaving school, there may be held at Belmont some evening during the Commencement week of 1908 Medal-Students' Contests in Expression, Voice, Piano and Violin. A11 students hold'c {"9ls in these subjects from schools directed by Miss Hood and Miss Heron are eligible to these contests. Students desiring to compete should send in their names immediately, that the date may be fixed and the terms and conditions of the contest leisurely determined.

BELMONT COLLEGE.

REGULATIONS. Encouraging experiments in student government are being made and increasingly the principles of self-control and self-regulation will be magnified, but always in accordance with the spirit of the following customs, the practical value of which the tests of experience have demonstrated:

. Absolute promptness in response to all bells and in performance of all duties is inflexibly insisted upon. Regular attendance upon classes is demanded. Plans for daily exercise must be cheerfully met, the beautiful old Park of fifteen acres, the halls, verandas, and balconies offering attractive inducements. Deliberate carelessness in regard to health is severely reprimanded; hence young

women must dress properly, must avoid exposure, and articles of food must not be kept in rooms to be eaten at unseasonable hours. Light weight, long-sleeved underwear, heavier hosiery and high shoes are required in winter.

Boxes of fresh fruit will be received, but, except at Christmas-time, no other eatables will be delivered. Parents are urged to spare us disagreeable duty in this respect.

Students must never leave the college grounds without informing Miss Buchanan, who is personally responsible for their whereabouts. Their return, also, must be promptly announced to her. Miss Lloyd grants permissions during school hours. Rooms must be left in order for the servants, who will do all sweeping and cleaning, but will not be responsible for books, sheet-music, or articles of apparel out of place about the rooms or building. Neatness in dress is expected of each student. Necessary shopping will be done by Mrs. Myers. A seamstress will come to the house when absolutely needed, not otherwise. All sewing and dressmaking, dentistry, photography, etc., should receive attention at home, since they seriously interfere with study and progress.

Students are expected to keep an itemized account of expenses, and forward the same to parents monthly. Parents are requested to require this. Borrowing is distinctly prohibited, being both bad practice and bad taste. Borrower and lender are alike subject to reproof.

All mail, packages, boxes, and telegrams to and from the College pass through the hands of the authorities, subject to their inspection. Suspected communications are opened in the presence of the student or are immediately forwarded to parents, who are expected to select and limit their daughter's correspondents. (See special communication.)

Gentlemen callers must bring letters of introduction, but will only be received occasionally, and only from eight to nine at night. Frequent and regular calling is not permitted. Newly acquired acquaintances must not expect the privilege. Gifts from gentlemen are not delivered, and flowers and candy are immediately sent to some charitable institution. Visitors will not be received in student's rooms nor in Chapter Houses.

No student will leave the grounds without a chaperon, nor remain out of the College over night excepy g,"at permission jrom parents and arrangement with faculty. Indolent and disorderly students must not expect visiting privileges. Students breaking study hour, leaving their rooms or talking or burning lights after the last bell, will report to faculty. Lights must be turned out during dinner. All studious, trustworthy girls keep study hours in their rooms at night; all others in the Assembly Hall.

As room decorations each young lady will be allowed only four framed pictures, two photographs and two College pennants on her walls and dresser. Considerations of health and good taste necessitate this rule, which is inflexibly kept. A just regard for college property and for students who occupy the rooms afterwards should be a sufficient incentive to keep the custom cheerfully.

BELMONT COLLEGE.

Due reverence for the Sabbath prohibits visiting, reception of company, driving, unseemly reading, or loud and boisterous talking and laughing. Gossip, slang, exgerations, light and frivolous conversations are deplored at all times. ag Good principles and high-toned, honorable conduct are conditions to be weighed 1 the award of certificate, diploma, degree, medal or honors. From first to last the student who wishes to be contented and successful must find her pleasure and happiness in study. Outside diversions may afford temporary relief, but they cannot compensate for the true happiness and delight that come with a sense of duty done. . . . Students will also closely acquaint themselves with the following: in

REMARKS TO PATRONS. we would respectfully emphasize the following, which, with the foregoing page, ust be understood as conditions of entrance: m Charges for board and tuition are payable as per statement, page 56, and may be remitted by draft, post-office order, registered letter, or express, to the Registrar. NO student is received for less time than the year or the unexpired part of the year. Parents desiring success and high standing for their daughters should be careful to have them present the first day of school and the last. Several distinctions and rewards will be conferred upon those who are proverbially prompt and regular in attendance. The College will be open for the reception of students Wednesday, September 18, but not before. Especial observance of this statement is requested. Early arrivals distract and delay. Friends are most earnestly requested not to invite girls out during the first two weeks of school, as the progress of organization and classification is thereby seriously impeded.' . . . . All dues must be paid before a pupil can receive certificate, diploma, degree, medal or honor. Letters, packages, boxes, should be addressed in care of the College. To insure prompt delivery, express Pe°*fees must be prepaid. The Belmont Bank, of which the Bursar is Cashier, is run on regular banking principlesand without expense to the °Pf""T* The College wilt be responsibte tor no money of students except sums deposited in this bank. Students should therefore be instructed by their parents or guardians to deposit their spending money in the bank, receiving therefor bank book and check book, and drawing out amounts as needed. The double advantage of this plan is that absolute safety of funds is insured and the students are thus early taught how tp keep a bank account, to draw checks, etc. Parents will give their daughters, or deposit with the Bursar, cash sufficient to meet the necessary expenses for books, sheet-music, stationery, art materials, laboratory supplies, trunk covers, etc., all of which will be furnished by the College at the lowest retail prices. Credit will not be allowed. No accounts will be opened in the city. A safe is provided, and the College will be responsible only for money and valuables left in its care. It is recommended that jewelry be left at home. When requested, the Bursar will take. charge of girls' pocket money, rendering periodical statements. we would warmly urge extreme simplicity in the preparation of wardrobes. Correct taste demands simple costumes for the schoolgirl, and a most important Christian sr°° j nested when those "{° en anora ihe expenditure repress the 1ove ot qe "9939. .5.2995,9" ,{rps sage hmm» a pa, aurabte, and 1mited gT55 striving to rye fer «sad et an hgie or concern about dress, that her mind may be free for high mental triumphs.

BELMONT COLLEGE.

The uniform for winter wear, which consists of tailor-made suit, waist, hat, and gloves, will be made in New York, and costs $30. The simple white muslin dress, hat, and gloves, or appropriate equivalent, for spring wear cost about $12. A1l suits for the physical training clubs will be made in the city, where attention to proper size and suitability may be secured; cost about $4. Trunk covers must, also, be made at the College that color schemes may be preserved. No uniform will be required for daily wear. No expensive, elaborate dresses or unduly low necks and short sleeves will be allowed in the College.

Each pupil furnishes two pairs of pillow cases, size of pillows 22 x 28, three sheets, one white counterpane, or two if occupying a single bed, a comfort and a pair of blankets; also towels, toilet articles, table napkins, napkin ring, and two laundry bags. She must also be provided with umbrella, water-proof, overshoes, a dictionary, Bible and song book. Each article must be plainly and indelibly marked with full name, Ra rad is suggested, as ti-u wear an, Umbrellas should be marked with white paint in large, wide-spread letters on the goods. Trunks must be marked with full names and home address.

. Laundry must be kept within two and one-half dozen pieces. Fragile, delicate pieces wic returaea dad&ramie gt who caretyly counts her laundry. both ggjng and coming, exacting corrections wdekty, invariabty secures excellent results. White skirts and white waists are not allowed in winter.

Weekly opportunity to visit the dentist, oculist, etc., is provided by the College. A suitable chaperone resides in the College, and those needing further service must make their own arrangements with her, at fifty cents an afternoon, which expense may be divided among those going. All work of this kind, including sewing and dressmaking, should obviously receive thorough attention at home before the student comes to College.

Our study-hall and class-rooms are at all times open to our patrons and friends, who must visit us to know us and our plans of instruction. In no other way can they know us aright. Our patrons are invited to a comparison of views. Our methods are the result of much study of the young mind, but we welcome request and suggestion. Parents are earnestly requested to write us freely concerning any cause of disqyietuds or annoyance. Aa".add,e your go-operation,so are ve glad to sypehie with your wishes and contribute, so far as lies in our power, to their accomplishment. Assure your daughter that complaints will be cheerfully heard and causes removed. is our sincere desire to oppose ourselves to the too prevalent practice of massing pupils and losing sight of the individual. We hope to do better teaching and win far better results than can be secured by such customs. Backward and timid pupils may expect our close and sympathetic attention. Students with defective eyes may, at reasonable cost, engage a teacher to read to them at nights. Those desiring it may have special private instruction. Ambitious students will be

advanced rapidly.

Laggards must be coached •

Receptions are given occasionally, and young ladies assist in receiving and entertaining the invited guests. 1aaal so&tat intercourse will be the aim of these occasions. udents sufficiently advanced will give recitals in voice, piano, violin or expression. st Art pupils finishing pictures without assistance will then exhibit them.

TUTORING. Students who cannot, or do not, advance with their classes are not allowed to retard the progress of the whole, but are provided with a competent, skillful tutor, who investigates their difficulties and assists them to proceed. A little timely help is often of great advantage to the discouraged pupil, and the idle and negligent are thus inflexibly held to duty. The charges, fifty cents per hour, are only one-half the usual professional rate, and may be shared by the students occupying the period.

BELMONT COLLEGE. VISITORS.

Our College is also our home, to which we delight to invite our patrons for visits of two days at a time. Longer visits are detrimental to the general good, and oftentimes sacrifice the best interests of the student vista, When students have visitors, either in the College or in the city, they are required to attend all their regular duties, but will be favored when these are finished, and out of school hours. Visitors are requested not to call on Sunday and during school hours, not to infringe upon the hours devoted to faculty meetings, nor to prolong evening calls beyond ten o'clock. The guard makes his last round at that hour, securing the house for the night. Commencement visitors cannot be received until the Wednesday before the close. Persons desiring to drive through Belmont Park and visit the conservatories will be given permission by telephone. Sunday driving is not permitted.

HOLIDAYS. Thanksgiving day is spent in the city at church and in attendance upon the athletic games of the universities. All students are required to be with us at dinner, 6 P. M., of that day. This is a time-honored custom from which there has been very little deviation in many years. Visitors are cordially welcome, but must not ask that students be excused the fallowing day. We also value the tradition which holds our young ladies unbrokenly together until the close before Christmas and until the last day of the session in May. The best interests of the more earnest students demand that we give only a limited number of holidays at Christmas, and, as intimated above, we most urgently insist that students who go home may not leave before the regular closing time. If they must take more time than the College gives, let it be after Christmas, since this is less damaging to to the her progress classes. of their classmates. No right-minded girl is willing to be a hindrance Other holidays are given from time to time, as the health of individuals, or of the body, may seem to require and as attractions of interest visit us or are in the city.

CO-OPERATION. close solicited. co-operation of parents in the following most important particulars is veryThe warmly When some students reach the point where a study demands sustained and vigorous mental effort and where intellectual development and power would presently begin, they write home and beg permission to drop this study. Ofttimes the indulgent parent consents too readily and without consultation with us. The student is frequently an unfit judge of what is best for her, but thus sustained by home authority she is not amenable to reason or persuasion and persists in her way. we » 997° "2.8 ea lo5a ju aw «em young men acquaintances permission to call; about granting permissions to leave »ammo av see 9fS"?\ a «sat «sang a hage amount'yE 5aa6 honey an unnecessary new suits, hats and wraps.

RELIGIOUS. Our school is strictly non-sectarian, but our educational system is based upon sound Christian principles as the only substantial basis for the formation of character. Students attend the church designated by their parents. A period Saturday night is spent in the preparation of the Sabbath-school lesson, and one hour of the Sabbath is given to selected readings of a religious or spiritual nature. The Sabbath Song Service is arranged at an hour most convenient to the household. Ministers of the gospel are cordially invited, whenever convenient, to visit us and address the students. At the hour of family worship effort is made to inculcate lessons of truth and morality. Incidents of the day are used to point principles of right and wrong, and teachers cull from their reading and present such sentiments as may be deemed helpful to spiritual grown. xba lnaracters tom tsory, neon, or every-day life are held to the view of young women, and the beauty of the one pure

and perfect model is daily impressed.

The Young Woman's Christian Association, a Mission Study Class, Bible Circles, and a Daughters of the King Chapter follow their suggested work. The "Tongue Guard," with its motto, "Slow to Speech," has been helpful to chaste, thoughtful words, and language. instrumental in defeating tendencies to exaggeration, slang, abusive and slanderous

SOCIETIES, CIRCLES, ETC. Organization in different departments has as its object the extension of special knowledge and the refinement and elevation of taste. According to the varying inclination and ability of the students, some or all of the following are sustained each year: The Art Circle which performs efficient service for its members. The Jenny Lind and Clara Schumann Societies and the Girls' Glee Club add to the enjoyment of the institution and contribute to their own musical advancement. The two literary societies, the Teen Hut and me Craddock,renaevaials "rs odjoamna, ta nld» kso Bro»an,hued bi-rorf. pr an sdlhailala aka dam among dnc kada,a.courages latent journalistic talent and serves to give information as to the proceedings of the College. "The Travelers," receive information by reading and lecture, that "knowledge may be power," in prospective journeys. At some time the coming year, and according as may seem advisable, a trip will be taken to some of the following points. Lookout Mountain, Mammoth Cave, Cincinnati, Chicago, Niagara Falls, St. Augustine, New Orleans, Washington, New York or the Jamestown Exposition. In June atour party girls and teachers may leave for London and a three months' on of theBelmont continent. For obvious reasons, teachers and outsiders are requested not to canvass among

our students for parties of their own.

RECITALS. We prove, in part, our assertion that each teacher is prepared to advance students to the dignity of specialists, by the interesting "Student's Recitals" given each vear. The young lady appearing is the artiste of the evening, and her work is heard and criticised from the art standpoint. Finish and repose mark the work in elocution; superior technique and method, together with expression, distinguish the musical numbers. A tew programmes are appaldsa.(sa pages as, , aa-

BELMONT COLLEGE.

OUT-DOOR FEATURES. Amateur photography is another feature of the recreative out-door life at Belmont. The several "camera girls" rival one another in the reproduction of the charming views and landscapes about the place. . Many are the delightful souvenirs of school life which are captured by their pretty, tiny cameras and finally brought to light from the mysteries of the "dark room." Meantime, with the gathering of these same "souvenirs" there has come a closer familiarity with nature's beauties, a study of light and shade effect and a habit of observation for scenic charm which is the foundation of much pleasure in after-life. Fine tennis courts, a golf course on the commons, hockey and basket ball secure to students ample and healthful out-door exercise. No less interesting is "pavilion life" at Belmont, with its engagements to study, read or talk, and for dainty "teas" and spreads" of all descriptions. Parties for rides, drives and auto rides on the beautiful country pikes are made up at merely nominal cost. Rowing on Wautauga Lake and roller skating at the rinks are also favored pastimes.

MEMORIAL CORRIDORS. Our Memorial Corridors grow in interest and beauty yearly. Students are requested to leave or send, framed photographs of themselves. Classes, clubs, sisters. and intimate friends framed together contribute to the beauty of the corridors and awaken pleasant recollections. We hope to see every Belmont girl's face there eventually.

CHAPTER-HOUSES. There are still a few vacancies in our delightful Chapter-houses, which places may be secured by trustworthy, reliable girls on early application. Here the student enjoys a large measure of the quiet and repose of home life, together with uninterrupted opportunity for study and pleasant association with congenial classmates and teachers. Each house is presided over by a motherly lady, who makes the health, comfort, habits, manners and morals of the girls entrusted to her care her first concern.

TO OUR NORTHERN FRIENDS. Students from more Northern regions are urged to a close and critical investigation of our advantages, climate, location, and environment. Nature says, "Go South in the winter,"' and the student may well consider her advice. If to the depleting effects of close study, conflict with long and cold winters is added, the student is manifestly at a disadvantage, and especially if she be frail. We make bold to say that our educational ministry is second to none in the land, and to it is added the enthusiasm of a large and progressive school and college community, Nashville being truly the "Athens of the South." Our climate permits a free outdoor life for fully two-thirds of the college year, and greater safety is secured by the long, sunny, southern exposure of the larger portion of our lovely old Park. With city and country in happy medium, electric cars to the door, a location, to quote the words of the late Dr. Briggs, ''proverbially above and beyond the sick line,'' and influences and associations so carefully guarded, earnest, cultured girls from other sections may wisely seek the acquaintance of their young Southern sisters, whose social instincts, soft musical voices, and refined manners add an indefinable grace and charm to early womanhood.

BELMONT COLLEGE.

TESTIMONIALS AND PRESS NOTICES. From the Nashville American.-"And when we build a great University for women let us never think of putting it in the city, where 'cribbed, cabined, confined' under sooty atmospheres, the soul is shut off from the ennobling fellowship of nature; but like the wise founders of Vassar, go out where we can have space to breathe and room to expand, and by blending nature and art create an environment that will in itself prove a nobler education." From the Chamber of Commerce Manual.-'There are as many pleasant days out of doors here (Nashville) as there are anywhere in the world."

From HoN. RoBERT L. TAYLOR, Ex-Governor of Tennessee.-"I regard Belmont College as in the lead with the foremost institutions of learning in the South. Its management is unexcelled in the whole Union. Its location cannot be improved upon. Its grounds are gorgeously beautiful, and its buildings are roomy, well ventilated,

and healthful.

"My three little girls entered this delightful institution last September. I am thoroughly satisfied with their advancement in their studies, and with their training generally. Their health has improved, and they are contented and happy. "Miss Hood and Miss Heron, the Principals of the College, are masters of college government. They are not only disciplinarians, but their nobility of character and warm hearts win the affection of their pupils.

"With all my heart I give indorsement to Belmont College." From the late DR. THOMAS A. ATCHISON, Emeritus Professor of State Medicine and Hygiene.-"Belmont College is situated upon a suburban eminence, commanding a magnificent view of the city of Nashville and her girdle of hills. The site was selected by a gentleman of wealth and culture as a private residence, and was improved without the limitation of cost. The buildings are large and imposing in style, and so con-

structed as to admit of the freest ventilation. The water supply is from pure springs and ample cisterns. The grounds are laid out in walks and drives, firmly paved and decorated with statuary. The entire place glows in floral and arboreal beauty. In the forty years of my acquaintance with this place as a residence and school, it has never been visited by a contagious or epidemic disease, nor has a case of fever of any kind ever originated there. Belmont combines in a high degree the conditions of a school and sanitarium. Those who come with pallid cheeks leave with the blush of the rose and a languid step gives way to the elastic spring of health."

From MRs. S R. FRANCIS, Lunenberg, Mass. "Edith writes glowing accounts of her life at Belmont. You have been very kind to grant her so many favors, and she and Mr. Stevens have appreciated your kindness. He writes that he has been treated royally They both think that Belmont is an ideal place, and that Edith could not have found a school better suited to her needs in every way. She writes that she has not coughed at all and that she is all right. That, of course, is good news for her father and mother."

From the New York Sun.-"At a public dinner in Hartford, Judge Woodward, the father, said he was satisfied from his own experience that the small colleges graduated the best students, because they were able to give each individual their personal attention.' From MRs. J. S. CHURCH, Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York.-"When Mr. Church visited Maud during the holidays he was very much pleased to find her in such excellent health, for she was a very frail girl when she left us. I sincerely regret

BELMONT COLLEGE.

that I did not send her to you three years ago. I cannot thank you enough for your untiring kindness to her, and I feel confident that when she leaves school she will do so with honor to you and herself. I trust she will win your lasting love and confdence.'

From MRs. F. J. PECK, Mt. Carmel, Conn.-"Your letter was read with great pleasure both by Mr. Peck and myself. I thank you so much for your kind words which show that you appreciate Florence's efforts. It is also a great satisfaction to me that she is "ien choke vto tate such a kindly interest in her welfare and happmess. Her letters home have only words of praise and affection for Belmont." From a private letter.-''It is amidst such surroundings as yours that Edmond Demolius wishes to introduce his new educational system, which it is alleged combines all the advantages of the present French, German and English methods. He says of schools: 'They must be established not in cities, but on private estates. Each school must have several arces of land and be placed in proximity to a woods and garden and orchard and open fields.' Belmont certainly has all these advantages for mental and physical development.''

From MRS. VAN LEER KIRKMAN, President Woman's Department of the Tennessee Centennial.-''It is a particular pleasure to me to testify to the worth of Belmont College both as an educator and a home for girls.

"Having recently had the opportunity of judging personally, I am sure that none of the many schools in this city of schools, or in all the South, is doing more than Belmont College for the true and best education of Southern girls, and I only wish that the South had more such institutions. Its teachers seem to have acquired the faculty of teaching every branch which a true woman should know. "In its location and the home-like atmosphere of the boarding department it is especially to be commended." From HoN. Z. W. EwING, Speaker of the Senate of Tennessee.-'Speaking from

observation and knowledge, I can say that this school has no superior in the State, and I believe few, if any, in the South. Its distinctive features are a high moral and religious tone, thorough character building, a high grade of scholarship, a close and constant watchfulness over the health of the pupils and a genuine honesty in everything done or attempted."

From MISS ALICE FRENCH (OCTAVE THANET), Davenport, Iowa.-'I remember with pleasure my visit to Belmont. The pretty, gentle, natural girls, the beautiful school and the delightful home atmosphere must appeal to every visitor. I know they did to me."

From the Central Christian Advocate.-"Now the question whether it is better for a young woman to be taught and trained in a college where co-education obtains, or whether her needs will be better met in one of the colleges where womanly ideals, a womanly atmosphere, and a constant sense of womanly needs are the ruling ideas of the institution, is a problem concerning which people will agree to disagree. There is no doubt, however, that there is a great drift of students towards the woman's colleges, and there seems to be an increasing number of parents who desire their girls to be trained in schools for women only."

From MRs. JULIA A. MouLToN, Chicago, Ill.-"I desire to express my sincere appreciation of the mental and physical advantages of Belmont, hoping thereby to be of use to other parents. My adaagtter returned tom Belmont delighted with its natural beauty and the healthfulness of the climate. She cannot speak too highly of the kindness and ability of the faculty, and will long remember the happiness she experienced during the time she spent with you."

From JvpoE U.M. Ros», Little Rock, Ark.-"• • • We did not send our daughtf to your school without first having made extensive inquiries concerning other

BELMONT COLLEGE.

schools of a like sort in different parts of the country. Now that she has graduated, and is closing a post-graduate course, I can only say that we have never had any cause to regret our choice, and that we are highly pleased with the treatment she has received, and with the results of her study." From MR. R. M. RENSHAW, Butte City, Montana.-"It is with pleasure that I give my testimonial to the many benefits my daughter is receiving in your college. To tell of the advantages the college and its location are to her health alone would be enough, but in addition to that, I feel she is breathing in a gentle refinement and culture that not many of our more public colleges afford. She frequently speaks of her attachment to the school and its instructors. I am fully in accord with your methods of government, and am entirely satisfied with my daughter's progress." From Ho. E. D. HoGE, Salt Lake City, Utah.-"It affords me great pleasure to express my high appreciation of your most excellent school for the education and training of young ladies. I feel sure that a location more beautiful or more conducive to a good state of health cannot be found in all our country. My daughter returned home from your care and instruction greatly improved in general culture and in the best of health, and considers her year at Belmont as one of the most pleasant and profitable of her life." From the Nashville Christian Advocate.-'Belmont College, in Nashville, Tenn., opened, as it has uniformly done, with an overflowing house. It is not difficult to explain its phenomenal success. Its matchless grounds, scholarly faculty, elegant buildings, and almost perfect management, all attract students. This session has drawn them from Philadelphia to San Francisco and El Paso, from Butte City to New Orleans and St. Augustine, and all the intermediate country. The genius of success presides, and Providence favors.' From T. G. HoRN, M.D.-" . . . This noble institution of learning has won a world-wide reputation for its educational advantages, strict discipline, kind, courteous intercourse with its pupils, social advantages for young ladies, and 'home influences' for younger girls. These facts being well known, it is my desire at this time more particularly to ask the attention of parents of Northern and Northwestern girls whose nervous systems are taxed to the utmost by continued hard study in these trying altitudes. Belmont, situated in the suburbs of the beautiful city of Nashville, Tenn. (a city of schools), on an elevated point, containing some fifteen acres of ground most beautifully laid out in walks and drives around plateaus of shrubbery and flowers of choicest Southern variety, is picturesque to the eye and restful and refreshing to the tired mind and body, and the location cannot fail to prove valuable to those who wish to recuperate and at the same time to pursue their studies. Young ladies in these higher altitudes are pushed, crowded, and so overtaxed by a determination to accomplish the desired end that the physical and nervous systems are worn out and cry loudly to us for rest. Many feel that they cannot take time for this much-needed rest, continue the course of study, and thus emerge from college an educated physical wreck. I look upon Belmont as a refuge prepared by nature, and with the equipment supplied by the noble ladies at her head she abundantly meets the needs of our young women. These facts have been demonstrated beyond a doubt, and personal cases will be given by addressing T. G. Horn, M.D., Colorado Springs, Colorado." From the late Rwy. D. L. W1LsoN, D.D., Bristol, Tenn.-"Not long since a friend My reply was, 'It is better than that. It is a real school.' It is the sort of school a great many people are looking for. The geographical location is admirable. The climate of Nashville is a happy mean between the extreme heat of the South and the severe cold of the Northwest, North and East. There are not many days in the winter when young ladies may not take open air exercise in the beautiful and spacious park which surrounds the building, a fact to which I would call the especial attention of those living in the Northwestern and North Central States. The building itself is a model of architectural beauty, comfort, of mine said to me, 'Belmont is an ideal school.'

and convenience. But the crowning glory of Belmont is the excellence of its moral training and the thoroughness of its intellectual discipline. Were you to ask me where you could find in happy combination beauty, luxury, comfort and convenience, and at the same time enjoy advantages for physical, intellectual, moral and religious culture equal to the best to be found anywhere, I would say, 'At Belmont College,' " From MRS. E. A. FERNALD, Philadelphia (Germantown), Pa.-'Your letter in reference to Maud's progress gave me much satisfaction. I have only commendation for the care you have lavished on her instruction, and the watchfulness that has followed her moral and physical nature. As you are aware, she has attended other schools of considerable fame, but I find her progress with you more satisfactory than ever before. The milder and more agreeable climate of Belmont has also worked greatly to her advantage. I count the day I determined to intrust her to your instruction and care as one of the most fortunate of my life." From MRS. THEO. ARTER, Cleveland, Ohio.-"It gives me cordial pleasure to commend Belmont as a school of unusual advantages for young ladies. My daughter gave evidence of great progress in her studies, and returned home much improved in health." From JUDGE N. W. MCCONNELL, Helena, Montana.-"It affords me pleasure to give Belmont my unqualified approval. "I have personally examined your work and found it systematic and thorough, and have shown my faith in you by giving you, after much thoughtful inquiry, my only daughter to educate. "Beautiful and picturesque in situation, Belmont offers as lovely a home to the school-girls of our country as the world affords." From Ex-Go0VERNOR W. C. RENFROW.-"Belmont is a dear place to us, and I shall always feel thankful that we sent our daughter to you." .

From the Nashville American.-'Speaking of pretty things, where in all Nashville

ts there so pretty a sight as the Belmont Park on one of these sunny spring afternoons?

The marble terraces, the lawns and pavilions musical with the laughter of happy, healthy girls, everywhere charming little vistas of them as they swarm upon the Park amid the shrubbery, statuary, fountains, and avenues. Here the gleam of a tennis ball, yonder in South Park one of the camera clubs preparing for a choice 'shot,' near by the twang of a guitar in some pavilion and the murmur of voices in song, then a rattle and a shout from the gymnasium's ten-pin alleys as some dexterous player makes a 'ten-strike.' Far away, upon the lower terrace, the crystal dome of the central conservatory rises above the trees and gives back the fading sunlight tc the scene; while beyond, and yet above it all, the grim old tower stands in majestic outline against that fairest of backgrounds, the 'purple hills of Middle Tennessee.' "The classes in botany have analyzed nearly every species of wild flower upon the campus. As a part of the regular laboratory work, each student prepares and mounts her own specimens in an herbarium. ' 'I've worked harder this session than I ever did before,' is a proud assertion heard on every hand." From the Nashville Evening Herald.-'The visitor to the art studio at Belmont College is at once impressed with the evident determination to carry out the principles of thorough culture in that department as in all others. It is exceedingly interesting to see the simple, delicate, exact drawing of the tiny maidens, while the drawings and paintings of the more advanced students, themselves beginners in the autumn, are well-composed pictures madefrom models 'set up' and managed by thers!"*; "° enthusiastic young lady exclaimed, 'Just think! not one of us could draw a straight line, or a crooked one as for that when we entered here.' "The prop{" at es aor were chosen and brought from New York by Miss Hawley, the head of the department, who, after passing through the various classes of

BELMONT COLLEGE.

the New York League, was elected to membership in 1884. Personally prepossessing, she has the genuine art spirit, and in the pauses of suggestion and criticism conversed brightly and forcefully with her students. ' 'Every year,' said she, 'the demand for art education becomes more and more intelligent and looked upon less as an accomplishment and more of a necessity-a necessary training for hand and eye which no other branch of education supplies. A training of the perceptions to observe closely and accurately, to measure proportions, to see and adjust relations in the simplest and most ordinary as well as in the most cultured and ~sthetic affairs of life, has at last become so evident a necessity that many men and women, established in the serious professions, are entering our great schools of art to acquire that which should have been taught them in their school days. 'No other country, not even the nations of the East, has neglected this training so long. Mr. Charles Leland mentions the beautiful and accurate work done by little children in the schools of Egypt. Because of this lack in our country, the work must, when the trained eye and hand is needed, go into the hands of foreigners. The decorations of our homes, which should be directed by the individual taste of their owners, are crude and vulgar, unless placed in the hands of the professional decorator. Too often, then, there is a tiresome sameness, a lack of individuality, and a general expression that does not accord with the conditioos of the occupants. '' 'Art as an accomplishment, is no longer satisfied with a bad copy of a bad chroma, but even the amateur must submit to be scrutinized by artistic standards, show some degree of patient study in his work, and be able to discriminate intelligently the works of the greatest masters of the past and present. . " 'Our advanced schools and colleges, recognizing this, are pushing forward their art departments as rapidly as the increasing culture of our country demands. Although this laying of foundations seems, at first, all underground, the beautiful structure soon appears, and herein, young ladies, lies immediate encouragement to thoughtful, patient study,' " From the McKendree Worker.-"Hawthorne, speaking of his home, described it as possessing the advantages of 'near remoteness and accessible seclusion.' The words happily describe the location of Belmont College, in the southern suburbs of the city. A ride of a few minutes in an elegant electric car puts the visitor right at the north entrance to the college grounds. Belmont is one of the most charming spots around Nashville, and we never go there without admiring afresh the wise judgment and fine taste that chose it for a school. It crowns a noble elevation and commands inspiring views in every direction. On the west is Vanderbilt embowered amid its classic groves and lifting its towers against the blue heights' beyond; on the east, in the farther distance, are the ivy-clad battlements of the Peabody Normal College; northward the city spreads out like a panorama, its towers and spires looming dimly through the smoky atmosphere that shrouds the valley; while southward the eye sweeps over an ideal landscape of fields and forests, sunny vales and vineyards, and all the splendor of the eternal hills. It is far enough away from the city to enjoy the retirement favorable to study, and near enough to be convenient for all the ends the city can serve. It is true that the city is marching that way with slow and steady tread, but '"Ill be a great pity when those amethystine distances, those ideal expanses of azure air are blurred by the smoke and grime of the factory, and those ambrosial silences shattered by the metallic clatter of the hoofs of trade. "We Pot wonder that the girls are so rosy when they can romp on that sunny lawn sloPl& to the south and breathe the pure air, clear as crystal, that sparkles around their lovely home. You may talk as much as you will about gymnasiums, and we certainly do not disparage them, but no gymnasium ever built can equal a run on that lawn for real, natural, healthy, physical development. "Everything at Belmont is in perfect keeping with its admirable external surroundings. There is an air of freedom, comfort, and elegant refinement, as well as of honest work, about the interior of the school that charms the visitor. And the happy

girls, too, give the pastors who call a real hearty welcome without the red tape that sometimes embarrasses access to the society of college pupils, for they are not Like morning doves That sun their milky bosoms on the thatch, A patient range of pupils;

but a company of real American girls blessed with sound bodies and good minds, and, unless appearances mislead, happy and contented in their delightful college home. How they all sing! We almost coveted the whole company for our McKendree choir. Many of these young ladies are Methodists, and a large number of them regularly attend divine worship at McKendree, where they are always welcome." From the American.-''. . . Could an institution be measured by the amount of heart and mind that enters into its management, then Belmont is truly great. Ceaseless activity and heartfelt devotion characterize every effort in behalf of her charge, and that Belmont girls are not slow to recognize and appreciate this difference was illustrated by the remarks of a young collegiate to a relative who was seeking to win from her a reason for her discrimination in favor of her present college home: 'Why,' she said, 'Belmont teachers are interestd in nothing, care for nothing, but school, and a girl must grow wiser and better here.' Mature, responsible, scholarly and skillful, Belmont's teaching force is also closely, harmoniously co-operative. Bound not only by ties of professional interest, but by warm fraternal regard, most of her teachers have been working together for years, and to this fact mainly may be attributed the success that occasions remarks of surprise and congratulation from all who have been observant of the growth and progress of the institution. "Founded with especial reference to existing needs in girl life, as understood by her founders, Miss Hood and Miss Heron, Belmont has held closely to her line of policy, being deflected neither to the right nor left, whatever the apparent promise or result. From the Sunday Times.-''Belmont College, of this city, has been winning golden opinions from the Southern press. The really wonderful success of this schoolagain in the unique position of being unable to accommodate all the applicants at its doors this fall-is deserving of more than passing comment by the local press. "Belmont, though established in our midst by foreign capital, has, in the eleven years of its existence, grown steadily in respect and esteem here as abroad, and is noted proudly as a Nashville institution. With all of its beautiful environments, curiously enough, the fact of such advantage has become a matter of minor consideration in comparison with others. One might, in fact, be almost tempted to say that this school has achieved its enviable name and success in spite of its lovely setting. The earnestness of the ladies at the head of the really superb faculty and equipment, the advanced methods and independent position have probably done more for Belmont than anything else. The fact remains indisputable that Belmont College has been among the first of the Southern seminaries to rise above the reproach that has been so often thrown at them of inefficiency. With the high standard which the principals and faculty insist upon maintaining, it is significant that the school seems to increase in its splendid popularity." From a private letter.-' I have been very much gratified with the facilities afforded by Belmont for thorough discipline and culture, and I hope that my daughter may be a living epistle, setting forth conspicuously, yet reservedly, the merits of her college and manifesting the worth and efficiency of her teachers. "On these two factors, the high order of Belmont's faculty and the intrinsic, yet somewhat latent capability of my daughter, I base my faith and hope as to her future." From a private letter.-' Belmont was chosen because of its opportunities, environment, personnel of matriculates, location in a city of historic interest, ""hes with distinguished divines, and trained choirs, theaters with standard attractions to

BELMONT COLLEGE.

which the girls are now and then taken by teachers. All these things placed your institution far above others whose faculty and course of study are, perhaps, as good. " My aunt begs me to say that she is not unmindful of the importance of purely ' book-learning,' but she is constrained to plan on different lines for her daughter, and therefore desires above all things to see her grow physically, to see her improve in vocal music, in correct letter-writing, in love of reading after standard authors, in grace and ease of manners, in dress and all those things which cannot be gleaned from textbooks yet are essential to lovely womanhood." From the American.-'This year shows the largest enrollment Belmont has ever witnessed. At the opening on Wednesday the chapel was almost full, and belated students are daily arriving from their seaside and mountain homes. Unreserved space no longer exists, and the fact is again demonstrated that to secure a room at Belmont application must be made early. "Some time before the opening the principals, observing that the limit of the number they could accommodate in the main building and 'Annex' had been reached, secured the elegant Bradford residence to accommodate the overflow. Every room in this building and elsewhere is now occupied or engaged by students yet to come, and there are no vacant desks in the chapel. "The number of enthusiastic visitors about the buildings and grounds this week attests the general interest in this earnest, progressive college, whose work is unique in its nice adaptation to the existing needs of young girls who require yet a little longer the fostering care of home-life but have reached an age where self-reliance and independent thought and effort must begin.» From the Nashville American.-' Possibly Nashville's proudest boast is the splendid extent and efficiency of her schools. The handsome buildings of educational institutions adorn every suburb, and there is no street railway line in the city that does not pass one or more of them. The fame of the city as an educational center began when the General Assembly of North Carolina founded the University of Nashville in 1785. In 1816 the Nashville Female Academy was founded and chartered under the laws of Tennessee. Steadily since then as the city has developed, her school interests have more than kept abreast of the outward tide, and to-day there are in Nashville over eighty universities, colleges, seminaries, academies, and private schools. "What has caused the upbuilding of these eighty-odd institutions of learning at this point? The same causes that will some day make Nashville and Middle Tennessee the most prosperous section of the Mississippi basin. These causes are simply a remarkably healthy climate, a rich soil, exquisitely beautiful city vistas and country landscapes, a predominating sentiment of morality and education, and an energetic, refined people. With every year new colleges, new academies, and new schools are started and the end is never in sight. Before one building for educational purposes is finished, work begins on another, and the departments of the older institutions are ever extending their scope. Besides the numerous private universities and schools, the State Normal College, partly supported by the Peabody fund, with nearly 1,000 students, the Medical Department of the University of Tennessee, the State School for the Blind, and the Tennessee Industrial School are located here." From the Nashville Banner.-' The golf links of Belmont College will be opened for the ason to-day. The course adjoins the College Park and, although rather short, it is an exceedingly good one. This afternoon there will be exhibition games in which some of the best players of the city, including Mr. R. McAndrew, the Scotch professional, will take part." •

the Daily News.-" The young ladies of Belmont College have been enjoying

" "Pis tournament on their beautiful court during the past week, the final games of

"hich were completed yesterday. There were eight entries in singles and four teams in doubles. The closely contested matches, coupled with beautiful weather, brought

BELMONT COLLEGE.

out crowds of spectators from among the student body each afternoon, and much enthusiasm was manifested. The two qualifying for the final match in singles were Miss Margaret Hobson and Miss Marion Moran. The first prize, a fine "Sears Special" racquet, was won by Miss Hobson after some very exciting games; scores, 6-3 and 7-51 Miss Moran taking second prize, a pair of kangaroo gymnasium slippers. In doubles each class had been allowed to select two players. The sub-seniors defeated the seniors and the irregulars defeated the juniors, thus leaving the subseniors-Misses Ethel Scovell and Nettie Brown-to play the irregulars-Misses Margaret Hobson and Marie Smith-in the final match. This was won by the irregulars; scores, 6-2 and 6-4, who received each a beautiful Scotch golf cap; the second prize, a pair of championship tennis balls, going to the sub-seniors. u Miss Hobson, who was a winner in both matches, is a sister of Capt. Richmond P. Hobson. "This tournament has given a great impetus to tennis among the girls and developed some expert players. The court will now rival the golf links for interest during recreation intervals in the College routine.'' From the American.-The ambitious undertaking of presenting Shakespeare's play, "Midsummer Night's Dream," was accomplished by the School of Expression at Belmont College on Monday night, and the result was a brilliant success, reflecting the greatest credit upon the director, Miss Pauline Sherwood Townsend, as well as the thirty-five performers. The performance was given on the plaza on the south front of the College, and was witnessed by an audience of several hundred, who occupied tiers of seats or stood throughout the play. The students were grouped on the broad fhght of steps, and the regular College classes occupied five boxes arranged in the three balconies above. In the middle balcony the special diploma girls and the freshman class were seated. The boxes were decorated with the College colors and the special class colors. Electric lights above and footlights below furnished brilliant illumination. The weather was ideal for an open-air entertainment. Rarely has a Southern school undertaken to follow the custom of Wellesley and Bryn Mawr Colleges of presenting a Shakesperean play as a feature of the commencement exercises. Especially marked was the success when it is considered that all but four of the performers are in their first year of the study of expression. A cut version of the play was given, which took up a little more than an hour. The costumes were accurate and very artistically put on. The dress for Duke Theseus and Queen Hippolyte were after the Frohman costumes, as also were those of the fairies, which departed from the usual fluffy tinsel accredited to fairies, in favor of pure white draperies, rather severely put on, and garlands of flowers. There were no scenic effects, but the natural placing of the shrubbery and the grouping of plants made an ideal background. It is speaking strictly within the mark to say that the work was eminently good. The performers were letter perfect; clear in enunciation, graceful. and above all natural in gesture, and pleasing in stage presence. From the Nashville Banner.-Belmont students and teachers are manifesting unusual interest and enthusiasm in the fine old English game of field hockey, which lrns recently been revived among the Eastern schools. Whenever the weather permits, the teams are at work, hoping to gain skill and practice at an early day. Miss Wade, Director of the Belmont School of Physical Culture, and Miss Poyneer, of the city Y. W. C. A. have been directing the exercises, and it is expected that lovers of out-door sports will soon be invited to witness some spirited match games. From Nashville American.-The members of the Vanderbilt Glee Club gave a successful recital last evening at Belmont College, complimentary to the young ladies of the College, and were afterwards entertained there with a handsome reception. A party of additional guests from the city heard the artistic programme, which included in addition to numbers by the Club, solos by Messrs. Chas. Washburn, Douglas Wright, Morton Howell and MeCollum. The great recreation hall and the parlors and

corridors were the scene of the hospitality, and the decorations were unusually elaborate. The chandeliers were draped with the Vanderbilt colors and the hall had mural hangings of dozens of college pennants from colleges all over the country, the 'varsity old gold and black predominating. Bouquets of pink carnations and other flowers were also used, and tempting refreshments were served. From the Nashville Banner.-There is nothing strange or out of the ordinary in· the phenomenal success of Belmont College when one takes into consideration the factors in its evolution. Just a decade and a half ago its doors were thrown open for patronage in the spirit of modesty and conscious power which has been ever present in the management. Its superb furnishings, artistic adornment and delightful location pleased the most fastidious. The judicious management, painstaking oversight, attention to detail, exact, definite instruction, and the air of refinement all gave such a decidedly favorable result for the first year that the second session began under conditions that caused the Principals to feel assured that Belmont College had taken front rank among the colleges of the South, and it has steadily maintained that position. The standard is high, the faculty of the highest womanhood, the course of study liberal, the impartation of instruction decidedly clear and accurate, the associations conducive to the most liberal culture, and the "influences for developing those charming womanly qualities so effectively wielded that the result is all that could be desired in a genuinely womanly woman. This College has always employed teachers of rare culture, superior ability as instructors, and thoroughly familiar with what is best in the development of girls. and young ladies into well-rounded womanhood, so that it has drawn to itself a national patronage from the very best of homes. This College does not experiment in the development of character, but makes a study of each pupil, gives individual instruction and oversight, represses that which is wrong, and cultivates whatever is highest, purest and best; does not give false ideas of life, but trains for real life so that its graduates may be able to meet the demands on womanhood of to-day. From Miss T. J. BUCHANAN, Norman, Okla.-'The more I see of other schools the more I value the work and spirit of Belmont. In no place with which I have come 1n touch is there such a power for womanliness and righteousness wielded." From The Banner.-Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor, made a visit to Belmont College Thursday afternoon and spoke to the student body. His address was replete with anecdote and reminiscence, the rich strain of humor for which he is so distinguished entertaining the young ladies and provoking rounds of continuous applause. On leaving, his own toast, "May you live long and prosper," was very heartily proposed. Each one felt she had met a warm personal friend, and deeply regretted that his engagements for the evening called him away so hurriedly. From MRS. J. R. BRIGGs, Dallas, Tex., January 18, 1907.-''Raymond returned to Belmont with pleasant anticipations of the work there awaiting her. She has been so well cared for and so contented in your lovely school-home that we intend placing her sister with you when she is ready for the freshman class. I wish to express to you my gratification at the progress Raymond has made in her violin playing. Many thanks for the care and kindness shown her and also for the delightful entertainment which I received while visiting the College." From MR. AND MRS. R. A. COLLINS, Hanceville, Ala.-''We desire to express our gratit"]° Jou for showing us so much courtesy at your grand College while we were there visiting Stella, and for your kindness to her and her brother all the time. We were perfectly delighted with your College and its competent faculty and lovely students, and shall always remember you and Belmont with best wishes."

From MR. H. H. ROBISON, Wetumpka, Ala.-''I have read with much pleasure your letter accompanying my daughter's report. I consider it an excellent repo_rt, and it proves to me that she is applying herself to her studies. I am delighted with your school and stand ready to cooperate with it in any way I can for its good." 5

BELMONT COLLEGE.

From MRS. R. B. MILLER, Ironton, Ohio.-'I appreciate the interest you and your teachers have taken in Gay, and I am sure she does, too. I am more and more pleased with Belmont. I want to especially thank Miss Cook for looking after Gay's health so closely, and Mr. Washburn for her unusual improvement in voice. Some of our neighbors are quite cultured in music, and they pronounce her progress remarkable." From MRS. C. F. CoLCoRD, Oklahoma City, Okla.-"I thank you very much for the mterest you have taken in my daughter. We are very much pleased with the work she is doing and hope she will continue to improve and make the average you wish her to. There is no doubt but that she will remain throughout the year with you." From MR. E.W. MooRE, Bunceton, Mo.-"Enclosed find signed Mary's report for second quarter. I do not believe that I can add or suggest anything, as I have implicit faith in the good judgment of Belmont." From REV. H. G. SCUDDAY, Greenville, S. C.-''We are very much pleased with Belmont and with our daughter's stay with you, and thank you and her teachers for their very great kindness to us in the matter. She writes she will regret very much when the time comes to leave Belmont." From MRS. HERBERT DARLINGTON, La Grange, Ill.-''We had a comfortable journey home, and feel repaid for our visit, which I regret was not longer. The watchful care of the hostess of the Annex and of the teachers, the beautiful surroundings, the bright, sweet girls, all so kind to me because I brought to mind their own mothers, touched me very deeply. The little Sunday evening supper in the Annex, with its quiet gaiety and the gradual changing of the tone into seriousness as the psalms were read and the hymns were sung, impressed me profoundly. Many times I found it hard to control my tears." From MRS. MAMIE M. GEERS, Buffalo, N. Y.-'The girls both write me how happy they are at Belmont and how nice you are to them, and that the girls are all lovely. I am so glad I left them with you. It is such a trial to have my home broken up and to have my children scattered, but such a comfort to know they are well cared for and happy." From MRS. M. C. FoRBES, Hopkinsville, Ky.-"I feared my daughter would be homesick and discontented. She assures me she has neither time nor inclination for either. To use her own expression, 'How can anyone be homesick at Belmont? To me it is an ideal school, with lots of hard work, pleasant surroundings, and the best teachers to be had.' You must be a fine judge of human nature. You seem to have left nothing for me to suggest that will add to her improvement. I felt I was making a personal sacrifice when I consented for my only girl to leave me, but do not regret it in the least if she improves as much in the next five months as she did in the last term." From MR. ARTHUR JONES, Detroit, Mich.-"Mrs. Jones and I desire to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of the IIth inst. relative to our daughter, Elizabeth, who is in attendance at Belmont. She has been able to make very satisfactory progress in her studies and we are disposed to give Belmont a great deal of credit for this. We have no other desire than to have her continue until the end of the school year, and are glad to be able to say that she has learned to love Belmont and is greatly interested in her work and very anxious not only to remain to the end of this year, but to return for another. We thank you for your many kindnesses to her." From Miss GLADYS BOWDEN, Martin, Tenn.-"It is always with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain that I think of my two ye9r® ft Belmon!P'sure when I lose myself in the memory of those happy days, and pain when I realize that they are gone; but their influence can never go. The ideals kept so constantly before me while there are ever an inspiration, and I have found that it helps me in living each day to remember what is expected of a Belmont girl." From MRS. MAJOR SMITH, Fort Worth, Tex.-"Euphrates is well pleased with Belmont and loves her teachers dearly. It is a pleasure to pay her tuition and expenses. I am so glad you are pleased with her.''
