BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE.

A MODEL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.

INSTRUCTION IN ALL THE BRANCHES USUALLY PURSUED IN COLLEGIATE AND PREPARATORY INSTITUTIONS,

IN THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO THOROUGHNESS IN COMMON BRANCHES.

This institution has gained a wide and enviable reputation since its establishment in 1874. It receives its students from almost every State and Territory in the Union. Five hundred are annually enrolled. The following departments are at present in successful operation.

1. DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.

This includes a Classical and a Scientific Course. All those who design to occupy leading positions as teachers in our schools, or desire a liberal education, should complete one of these College Courses.

2. DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY.

This is designed to meet the wants of young men and women preparing for the ministry. The course consists of three years, and includes only such branches as have a direct bearing upon the preparation for the ministry. Hebrew, Greek, Natural Theology, Logic, History, &c., are included.

3. NORMAL DEPARTMENT.

This department is designed to prepare young men and women for teaching. The instruction, both practical and theoretical, is adapted to the special wants of those who design to make teaching their vocation. The course consists of four years, and includes those English branches which constitute the course of study in our city high-schools. The success our students meet, who go forth as teachers from our halls, may be attested by the constant drafts made upon them to fill positions in the different schools of the land.

4. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.

In this department, young and middle-aged men and women are given a thorough business training, and are taught THOSE THINGS THEY MUST KNOW TO GET ON IN THE WORLD. As a branch of Battle Creek College, this department is prepared to offer peculiar advantages to any who may be desirous of pursuing academic studies while receiving their business training.

5. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT,

including a model school for children; and courses of instruction of two years each, preparatory for the College Courses.

Special Advantages.

1. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION are such as to insure thoroughness and first-class mental and moral culture.

2. THE DISCIPLINE IS RIGID, YET PARENTAL. Most parents are loth to send their children from home to attend school, as they are well aware that there is a strong disposition in the youth, especially while in College life, to allow the mind to be diverted from the sober and useful, to pursue that which gives only temporary pleasure and excitement; and when students are left free to follow their inclinations and outside influences to vice, many will become victims of all the evils of wicked associations. The Trustees and Faculty of Battle Creek College have assumed the responsibility of shielding the youth placed under their charge, and guarantee protection of the sons and daughters sent here against the numberless evils so ruinous to good morals and the success of their School work.

3. EXPENSES. In Battle Creek College, the expenses of board to students has been reduced to the lowest possible figures. In the club system a student is furnished with a good variety of board, prepared in first-class order, for $1.20 per week. Tuition is also placed at very reasonable rates. The expenses for the entire year need not exceed $114 to each student.

4. THE LOCATION adds much to the success of the students while pursuing their studies, and the pleasant associations render Battle Creek College an agreeable as well as a profitable home.
