HISTORICAL SKETCH
HE history of St. Xavier College begins on October 17, 1831, when the Right Reverend Edward D. Fenwick, D.D., the first Bishop of CinciImati, opened what, after the fashion of the times, was called "a literary Institute" for the higher instruction of youth. This was a daring undertaking for the times, since the census of 1830 gave Cincinnati a population of less than 9l5,000, and of that number Catholics were a small and not very influential minority. The new institution bore the classic name, "The Athenaeum," and in the prospectus issued we are told that the "College course will embrace the Greek and Latin authors-both historians and poets-which are usually read; theHebrew, Spanish, French andEnglish languages; the various branches of the Mathematics; Reading, Writing, Geography and the use of the Globes." The carrying out of this fairly ambitious program was entrusted to the diocesan clergy from 1831 to the summer of 1840. Their efforts met with considerable success, but the grow ing needs of the diocese in other directions made it diffi cult to staff the College with members of the diocesan clergy, and the Right Reverend John P. Purcell, the successor of Dr. Fenwick, saw that the stability and progress of the institution would be better provided for by entrusting it to the care of a religious order. Accordingly he applied to the Provincial of the Society of Jesus in St. Louis and on receiving a favorable reply 9 turned over to the Jesuits "forever, on condition that they should be held ever sacred for church and school, the College, Seminary and Church, with the real estate on which these buildings, which I now occupy, are located -that you may have there a college and a parish church to be served by your Society, in perpetuity." The Jesuits took over the institution on October I, 1840. The name was then changed to St. Xavier Col lege, though the building continued to be called "The Athenaeum" until it was removed fifty years later to make room tor a new structure. The Reverend John Anthony Elet, S.J., was the first president of the re organized College. A charter of a temporary kind was granted to the College in 184~ by the General Assembly ot Ohio, and a perpetual charter in 1869. Under the presidency of Father Elet and his immediate successors St. Xavier College made rapid progress. It was originally conducted as a boarding school and had a very considerable patronage in the States of the West and South. But the very limited campus space in a growing city soon made it impossible to continue this feature of the College. The dormitories were therefore abolished after the summer of 1854 and since that time St. Xavier has appealed more to its own immediate vicinity for patronage. The years 1853 to 1865 were years of hard struggle for St. Xavier. Many causes contributed to tlus effect, not the least of which were the cholera epidemics, the Know-Nothing movement and the Civil War. But better times came for the College when the war was ended. Property had been secured in 1863 on the corner of Seventh and Sycamore streets, and on this site in 1867 was erected the Faculty building, called the Hill Building after the Reverend Walter Hill, the President of the Col lege at the time. This additional accommodation served the needs of the institution for the next twenty years, 10 but again the need of expansion was felt and in 1885 the Moeller Building on Seventh street to the rear of the Hill building was erected by the Reverend Henry Moeller, President of the College from 1884 to 1887. St. Xavier College celebrated its golden jubilee in 1890, counting the fifty years from 1840, the year in which the Jesuits assumed control. The following year the class-room building facing on Sycamore street was built as well as the College Chapel and Memorial Hall. At the same time the old Athenaeum was torn down after having served for college purposes for sixty years. Under the presidency of the Reverend Alexander J. Burrowes extension lectures were begun in 1894, and in the fall of 1896 a limited number of graduate courses were inaugurated. These lectures and graduate courses were carried on successfully for some years and extended the influence of the College in the community. But the more pressing needs of other departments and the limited means at the disposal of the Faculty made it seem advisable to discontinue such work until greater resources can be commanded. During the greater part of its history, therefore, St. Xavier College has confined its efforts to the maintaining of a standard college with the high school classes pre paratory to it. In this way it can, it would seem, with the resources at its command, best answer the needs of' those who look to it for guidance. III the fall of 1911 a department of Commerce and Economics of college grade was added to the work offered by St. Xavier. At the same tune a course in Journalism was likewise begun. The classes in these subjects are conducted in the evening. Summer courses in a limited number of subjects have been carried on since the summer of 1914. These classes are attended by members of the teaching Sisterhoods of the vicinity for whom they were originally designed. 11 'While a situation such as the College occupies in the very heart of the city has many advantages in the matter of accessibility, it has also the. disadvantage of preventing the ready expansion of accommodations for buildings and campus. The Faculty has long been aware of this drawback in the location and as early as 1847 an attempt was made to find more room by locating the Preparatory Department in the so-called Purcell Mansion on Walnut Hills. Here the work of these classes was conducted for two years under the direction of the Reverend George A. Carrell, later President of St. Xavier and eventually first Bishop of Covington. But this undertaking was premature, and for the means of communication in those days the situation was too remote. The Preparatory Department was therefore brought back to the city again after two years. Nothing further was done in the matter until the year 1906 when theReverend Albert A. Dierckes, S.J., the president at the time, purchased property at the intersection of Gilbert and Lincoln Avenues on Walnut Hills. This property with the building standing on it was used for purposes of a Branch High School until the beginning of 191~. It was realized, however, that a better site would have to be chosen to give room for the expansion which St. Xavier had the right to look forward to, and theBranchHigh School was moved to the building and grounds of the old Avondale Athletic Club which had been purchased the previous summer. This property, on which it is hoped St. Xavier College will one day be located, is situated at the intersection of Dana Avenue and Winding Way in Avondale. It is within easy reach of several car lines and with the opening up of the new rapid transit system will become more readily accessible to all points of the city and surrounding territory. There is ample space for building on the higher parts of the ground, and a very extensive campus with baseball and football fields and tennis courts occupies the
12 lower ground. To the north and south, through the generosity of the Bragg estate, from which the College purchased the property, the city has acquired great stretches of land for park purposes. The Park Board is proceeding with its happily conceived idea of constructing wide boulevards to connect the different city parks. For many miles there will be a double boulevard, one branch skirting the base of the hill immediately east of the campus, and the other running along the western edge of the College property. The new St. Xavier will thus rise in a picturesque spot, surrounded by parkways, yet in a location which was chosen chiefly because it was at the time the very center of Cincinnati and its suburbs.
13 SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
lIE educational system in use at St. Xavier High School, (substantially the same employed in two hunch-ed and twenty-seven educational institutions conducted by the Society of Jesus in nearly all parts of the world,) is guided by the principles set forth in the Ratio Btudiorum, a body of rules and suggestions outlined by the most prominent Jesuit educators in 1599, revised in 183~, and attended up to the present day with unfailing success. Truly psychological in its methods, and based upon the very nature of man's mental processes, it secures on the one hand that stability so essential to educational thoroughness, while on the other it is elastic and makes liberal allowance for the widely varying circumstances '0£ time and place. While retaining, as far as possible, .all that is unquestionably valuable in the older learning, it adopts and incorporates the best results of modem progress. It is a noteworthy fact, however, that many .of the recently devised methods of teaching, such as the Natural, the Inductive and similar methods, are admit- tedly and in reality mere revivals of devices recommended long ago in the Ratio Studiorum. As understood by the Jesuits, education in its complete sense, is the full and harmonious development of all those faculties that are distinctive of man. It is more than mere instruction or the communication of knowledge. 'The requirement of knowledge, though it necessarily per tains to any recognized system of education, is only a 14 secondary result of education itself. Learning is an instrument of education, which has for its end culture, and mental and moral development. Consonant with this view of the purpose of education, it is clear that only such means, such as Science, Language and the rest, be chosen both in kind and amount, as will effectively further the purpose of education itself. A student can not be forced, within the short period of his school course and with his immature faculties, to study a multiplicity of the languages and sciences into which the vast world of knowledge has been scientifically divided. It is evident, therefore, that the purpose of the mental training given is not proximately to fit the student for some special employment or profession, but to give him such a general, vigorous and rounded development as will enable him to cope successfully even with the unfor seen emergencies of life. While affording mental stability, it tends to remove the insularity of thought and want of mental elasticity which is one of the most hopeless and disheartening results of specialization on the part of stu dents who have not brought to their studies the uniform mental training given by a systematic high school course. The studies, therefore, are so graded and classified as to be adapted to the mental growth of the student and to the scientific unfolding of knowledge. They are so chosen and communicated that the student will gradually and harmoniously reach, as nearly as may be, that measure of culture of which he is capable. It is fundamental in the Jesuit System that different studies have distinct educational values. Mathematics, the Natmal Sciences, Language and History are com plementary instruments of education to which the doctrine of equivalents can not be applied. The specific training given by one can not be supplied by another. The best educators of the present day are beginning to realize more fully than ever before that prescribed curricula, embracing
15 well-chosen and co-ordinated studies, afford the student a more efficient means of mental cultivation and develop ment. This, however, does not prohibit the offering of more than one of such systematic courses, as for instance, the Classical and the Scientific, in view of the future career of the individual. While recognizing the import ance of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, which unfold the inter-dependence and laws of the world of time and space, the Jesuit System of education has unwaver ingly kept Language in a position of honor, as an instru ment of culture. Mathematics and the Natural Sciences bring the student into contact with the material aspects of nature, and exercise the deductive and inductive powers of reason. Language and History effect a higher union. They are manifestations of spirit to spirit, and by their study and for their requirement the whole mind of man is brought into widest and subtlest play. The acquisition of Language especially calls for delicacy of judgment and fineness of perception, and for a constant, keen and quick use of the reasoning powers. Furthermore, the Jesuit System does not share the delusion of those whom seem to imagine that education, understood as an enriching and stimulating of the intel lectual faculties, has of itself a morally elevating influence in human life. While conceding the effects of education in energizing and refining the student's imagination, taste, , understanding and powers of observation, it has always held that knowledge and intellectual development, of themselves, have no moral efficacy. Religion alone can purify the heart and guide and strengthen the will. This being the case, the Jesuit System aims at developing side by side the moral and intellectual faculties of the student, and sending forth into the world men of sound judgment, of acute and rounded intellect, of upright and manly con science. It maintains, that to be effective, morality is to be taught continuously; it must be the underlying base,
16 the vital force supporting and animating the whole organic structure of education. It must be the atmosphere that the student breathes; it must suffuse with its light all that he reads, illuminating what is noble and exposing what is base, giving to the true and false their relative light and shade. In a word the purpose of Jesuit teaching is to lay a solid sub-structure in the whole mind and char acter for any super-structure of science, professional and special, as well as for the upbuilding of moral life, civil and religious.
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS TRAINING
In its moral and religious training the School aims at building the conscience of its students for the right fulfillment of their civil l social and religious duties. There is insistence on the cultivation of the Christian virtues which operate for this fulfillment; and, as the only solid basis of virtue and morality, thorough instruction in the principles of religion forms an essential part of the system. Students of any denomination are admitted to the courses, but all are required to show a respectful demeanor during the ordinary exercises of public prayer. The Catholic students are required to attend the classes in Christian Doctrine, to be present at the Chapel exercises, to make an annual retreat, and to approach the Sacraments at least once a month.
EQUIPMENT
The School affords its students every facility for men tal, moral and physical development. Its class-rooms and lecture halls are spacious, bright and well ventilated. It has a large gymnasium with locker rooms and shower baths adjoining; an auditorium, known as "Memorial Hall" for student theatricals and literary and musical 17 entertainments; and a chapel of marked architectural beauty, capable of seating six hundred and fifty students. In the Department of Science the lecture rooms are fitted out with the latest improved devices, and the laboratories are generously provided with suitable appara~ tus and material for experimental work in Chemistry, Physics and the biological sciences.
LIBRARY
The Students' Library possesses a choice collection of books, numbering about six thousand, and affords the student ample means, both for the preparation of lessons and themes, and for reference reading in connection with his studies. The library is under the care of a trained hbrarian who gives talks at stated times to all the students of the School on the arrangement and content of the library and the use of reference books and catalogues. The librarian and assistants are in attendance every day during the noon recess and after dismissal in the afternoon. The students have direct access to all the shelves.
GYMNASIUM
The Gymnasium, known as Memorial Hall, is situated . at the extreme southern end of the College buildings. The main floor measures 90x5~ feet. There are hot and cold shower baths conveniently placed, two handball and basketball courts and such equipment as is usually found in modern gymnasiums. A stage is built at one end of the main hall equipped with the latest theatrical appli~ ances and lighted by electricity. It is furnished so as to make a most attractive auditorium. This hall is used for dramatic events, public debates and entertainments, and all general assemblies of the students. 18 ADMISSION

21 SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
ACADEMIC SESSION
The School Year. The academic year comprises thirty-eight weeks, extending from the first week in Sep tember to the third week in June. It is divided into semesters, with short recesses at Christmas and Easter. Saturday is the weekly holiday. Classes are not held on legal holidays, nor on days observed as holydays of obligation in the Catholic Church. , The School Day. The school day begins at 8:~5 A.M., with Mass for Catholic students, and continues until 3:10 P.M., with an intermission of one hour from 11:40 to U:40 for luncheon. The recitation periods are fifty minutes in length. All students are required to be in attendance from 8 :~5 to 11 :30 A.M. and from U :40 to 3:10 P.M., either in recitation or in the laboratory or study hall. During this time no student is allowed to leave the school premises without the express permission of the principal. To meet the wishes of many parents and students, a cozy luncheon room has been fitted up and placed under reliable management, so that a warm meal may be ob tained at the noon recess. Everything served is of the best and procured fresh every day. The service is a la carte, and the charges are moderate. Noon passes will not be issued to students except upon the written request of parents or guardians. Telephone calls for students should be limited to the following hours: 9:50 to 10:00 A.M., 1~:00 to 1~:80, and from 8:00 to 8:80 P.M. Parents are informed that, except in cases of extreme urgency, students will not be allowed to leave their school duties to answer calls at the telephone. 22 The School cannot assume responsibility for the prog ress expected of the students unless it can have full con trol of their time. Hence parents are earnestly requested to see to it that music lessons, dancing lessons and similar appointments are not arranged at hours which may con flict with class exercises or with necessary detentions after school hours for unsatisfactory recitations or viola tions of discipline. No student is ever detained after 4:00 P.M.
CLASSIFICATION AND PROMOTION Classification. The classification of students depends upon the completion of a specified number of units. A unit is a series of recitations or exercises in a given subject pursued continuously throughout the school year. The number of class exercises required in a week for each. unit shall, in general, be five. Four units are required for unconditional admission to the Second Year; eight units for unconditional admission to the Third Year; and twelve units for unconditional admission to the Fourth Year. Promotion. Promotion from class to class is de pendent upon the student's passing satisfactorily (with a grade not below 70) in all the prescribed work of the pre ceding class. Unsatisfactory work in one or two sub jects may be made up by summer study and examination in September; but a student who has three unsatisfactory subjects repeats the year, without however, being com pelled to go over a second time any subject in which his standing has been satisfactory.
CERTIFICATE OF CREDITS Students wishing statements of credits in order to transfer from this School to another or for other purposes, should make early and seasonable application for the 23 same. No such statements will be made out during the busy periods of examination and registration, September 1st to 15th, January 15th to February 1st, and June 15th to July 1st. CLASS WORK Class work consists of the following elements: (a) all oral recitations asked during an entire period. Isolated, simple questions are not used as a basis for the purpose estimating class-standing; (b) all written work-exercises, themes, compositions, translations, constructions, reports -prepared out of class hours; (c) all written tests given during clas8 periods. A record of this class work is filed with the Principal once each calendar month, and counts one-half in the mid-semester tests. In the semester examinations, which are to be decisive in themselves, class work affects the eligibility of a student to take these examinations, inasmuch as the right to examination in any subject shall be refused: (a) to those who have not been present 85 per cent of the class-time during the semester; (b) to those whose class-standing for the semester is less than 70; (c) to those who have not handed in 85 per cent, of the home-work assigned. Examination papers in science will not be marked nor will credit be given until all deficiencies in laboratory work have been made up.
EXAMINATIONS ViTritten examinations are held at the close of each semester. Mid-semester tests are given in November and April. The results of each examination are an nounced in the presence of the Faculty and entire student body, and testimonials of excellence are awarded to the leaders. For promotion and graduation the students are re quired to pass the Uniform Examinations prepared each 24 year by the Central Board of the General Committee of the Course of Studies for all the Jesuit high schools and academies, eleven in munber, of the North and \Vest Central States (Missouri Province). . The passing mark is 70. A mark between 50 and 69 imposes a "condition" requiring the student to pass a satisfactory re-exam:iJ.).ation in that subject. The result of this supplementary exmination is final. All conditions in a semester examination, unless removed within the quarter following, automatically become failures. Candi dates for diplomas must have removed all conditions by the second week of the second semester of the Fourth Year. A mark below 50 denotes absolute failure, debars the student from the privilege of re-examination, and deprives him utterly of all credit for the work of the entire semester in that subject. A student who is guilty of dishonesty in any examination may be suspended or dismissed. When the marks received by a student in the different branches are combined into a total or general average, each is "weighted" by having its grade number multiplied by the number of hours given to it each week.. No such average is officially given or recognized when a student fails to receive 70 in any branch of his class. Holders of scholarships who fail to receive an average of 85 in a semester examination thereby forfeit all the rights and privileges of the scholarship in question.
HONORS AND PRIZES The honors and prizes awarded at the end of the year are determined by the combined results of class-work and examinations mentioned above. Four gold medals for Class Honors are awarded each year to those students who lead their respective classes in scholarship, provided a grade of 90 or above is maintained for the year's work. Those who maintain an average of 90 and upward 25 merit the distinction of First Honors. An average or 85-89 entitles a student to Second Honors. A student who fails to receive 70 in any branch in a semester examination is thereby ?isqualified to receive any Honors during that year. Four gold medals are awarded annually to the winners of the public contests in elocution and debating.
HOME STUDY The schedule of recitations is so arranged that little time is allowed for study during the morning or afternoon sessions. This requires t,p.at much of the students' work be prepared at home. It is useless to hope for good re sults unless they seriously devote themselves in private to mastering the work assigned them during class hours. As a general rule not less than two hours should be spent each day in preparing and reviewing class work. Parents are earnestly reminded that neither justice to the students nor the traditions of the School will permit the Faculty to retain a student who cannot or will not study with profit. As a certain degree of talent and corresponding industry are required for success, it follows that any notable incapacity for higher education or any persistent neglect of study warrants the removal of such students from the School. The attention of parents is called to the fact that most failures are due to irregularity in study and attendance or to excessive attention to distracting social engagements.
REPORTS A detailed record or class-standing, attendance and deportment is sent to the parents and guardians of the students after the mid-semester and semester examina tions. Special reports are made at other times when it is deemed advisable, or upon special request. Parents are 26 earnestly requested to require and examine all repOlts and not to omit inquiry regarding marks which fall below 70. The Principal should be notified promptly if these reports are not received in due time. The actual time de voted to home study should be indicated by the parents, who will return the report with their signature within a week to the Principal.
ATTENDANCE Regular and punctual attendance at all School exer cises is expected and required. Any failure in this regard must be excused at the office of the Principal and absences must be satisfactorily explained by letter or by telephone. Exemption from any of the classes or other exercises of the School must be obtained by parents or guardians. In no case will the matter be treated of with the students themselves. As the loss of even a single recitation may prove detrimental to the progress of a student, parents are urged not to detain or withdraw their sons from classes except for very grave reasons. All work missed, for what ever cause, except that of protracted illness, must be made up within a week after the student's return to school. Mere absence does not excuse a student from the obligation of preparing his ordinary recitations or relieve him from any part of his examinations. Tardiness in class attendance is regarded as a partial absence and will be so treated b~r theinstructors in making up their quarterly and semestral reports. Frequent absence or tardiness, except in case of sick ness, is sufficient cause for dismissal. Late-comers and those who leave before the close of the academic year can not compete for Honors. As a matter of simple justice and courtesy, due notice should be given of an intended withdrawal of a student from the School. 27 PHYSICAL TRAINING AND ATHLETICS All students are required to take the course in physical training throughout the year. Athletics are encouraged and promoted by the School authorities. The regular 'School teams and class leagues give all students abundant opportunity to compete with those of their own relative ability in football, basketball, baseball and track events. Compulsory military training was introduced during the past year. DISCIPLINE The registration of a student is deemed a recognition, on his part and on the part of his parents or guardian, of compliance with all the lUles and regulations of the 'School. Refinement of manners, habits of obedience and order, neatness in person and dress, and punctuality are required at all times as matters of importance. No point of vigilance is neglected whereby purity of mind and heart, frankness of character and congeni ality may be instilled into the students, together with that strength of will and uprightness of heart which alone can fit them, lUlder religious discipline, for the proper discharge and adequate fulfillment of their duties in later life. No student who persistently neglects his school work, or whose influence, apart from open disobedience or insub ordination, is considered by the Faculty to be detrimental to the reputation of the School or obstructive of the good of other students, will be allowed to remain in the School. The use of tobacco in any from, on or near the School premises, is strictly forbidden at all times. The name of the School is not to be used for any event, social or athletic, nor may anything be published under the name of the School, unless express permission has been obtained in every case. Class Proms as such, receptions or dances are forbidden. 28 ELIGIBILITY RULES Students taking part in. dramatic performances, public debates, oratorical or elocution contests, or athletic events, and those who are appointed assistants on the staff of the College journal, as well as all officers of stu dent organizations, are subject to the following eLigibility rules: (1) They must have no condition and no failures;, (2) They must have attained a weighted average of at least 75 in the previous semester or mid-semester examina-' tion; (3) They must not be under censure at the time of their election or appointment.
EXPENSES As the institution is not endowed, it is entirely de pendent for its support on the fees paid for tuition. Payments must be made quarterly or semi-annually in advance. The account for tuition dates frOID the day of tile student's entrance. No deduction is allowed for' absence, save in case of dismissal or protracted illness. The session is divided into quarters, beginning respectively about the 1st of September, the 15th of November, the 1st of February and the 15th of April. No student will be admitted to the final examination for graduation if any bills remain unpaid. Tuition, per session of ten months, for all classes, . $60 O().

These St. Xavier gratefully acknowl .edges: A Perpetual Scholarship is said to have been founded or established when the endowment is fifteen hundred dollars, a sum sufficiently large to yield an annual interest that will cover the yearly tuition fees. A Course Scholarship represents an amount necessary for a full course (High School and College), payable annually, entitling the holder, upon successful .examination at the end of the course, to a Baccalaureate Degree. An Annual Scholarship is provided by the yearly ·donation of $60.00.
PERPETUAL SCHOLARSHIPS Two Scholarships, in thanksgiving for favors received, by a friend of Catholic higher education, whose name is withheld for the present by request. The Youn~ Ladies' Sodality Scholarship, founded in 1911, by the Young Ladies' Sodality of St. Xavier 'Church, in favor of a deserving student of St. Xavier Parochial School. The Denis F. Cash Scholarship, founded in 1913 by this true friend of Catholic higher education. The Mar~aret Conway Scholarship, founded in 1914 by Miss Margaret Conway. 30 The Alphonse S. Wetterer Scholarship, founded in 1915 by the late Alphonse S. Wetterer, to be applied to a deserving student of St. Augustine's Parish, Cin cinnati, O. The Bernard Brockmann Scholarship, founded in 1915 by the late Bernard Brockmann, of Cincinnati, The St. Xavier Young Men's Sodality Scholar ship is maintained by the income from a fund of $1,500 given to the College by the Young Men's Sodality of St. Xavier Church. It is bestowed at the discretion of the Moderator of the Sodality upon any worthy student from Xavier Parish giving promise of future usefulness and studying in the Classical Course. The income from this scholarship amounts to $60 a year. The Cornelius Shea Scholarship is supported by a fund of $1,000 given to the College "for the cause of Catholic education." The income from this amount is awarded annually, at the discretion of the President of the College, to a deserving student in the Classical Course. The President and Faculty wish to express their grateful acknowledgement of the receipt of five hundred dollars, advanced by a friend as a basis for another Perpetual Scholarship.
CO URSE SCHOLARSHIPS The Judge William A. Geoghegan Scholarship, offered by Judge William A. Geoghegan for a deserving student to be chosen by the Faculty. The Class of 1911 Scholarship, offered by the members of the class to procure for a deserving student the lasting benefits of the same training received by themselves. The Class of 1918 has presented the College with an annual scholarship to be awarded to one of the success 31 tul candidates from the Eighth Grade of the Parochial Schools of the Dioceses of Cincinnati and Covington, taking part in the annual scholarship contest.
ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS One scholarship for the coming year is offered by the League of the Sacred Heart, and one by the Rosary Christ Child Society of St. Xavier Church. Two scholarships are also offered by Mrs. Matthew Ryan and family.
COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHPS The following scholarships will be offered the coming year by the Trustees of St. Xavier College. These scholarships will be awarded by competitive examination:

SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS 1. A general average of 85 per cent. in a semester examination must be maintained by the holder of a scholarship. ~. The scholarship does not excuse from laboratory or breakage fees. 8. Privileges of a scholarship may be withdrawn at any time by reason of unworthy conduct.
FOUNDED MEDALS AND PRIZES
Another method of assisting both Faculty and stu- . dents is the foundation of medals and other prizes. The gift of $800 will found a medal in perpetuity and the founder's name will be perpetuated in the annual cata logues. It is hardly possible to conceive a more effectual way of perpetuating the memory of a benefactor than this foundation of medals and prizes. The name of the benefactor will be annually recalled as long as the College survives, and unborn generations of beneficiaries will bless the memory of the benefactors. 85 STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS JUNIOR SODALITY.

ACTIVITIES OF THE JUNIOR SODALITY While not enjoying the latitude of the sections avail able for the activities of the Senior Sodality, the Junior or High School Division endeavored in a more humble way to practice piety in works of zeal. The Mission section was the strongest, and every week two or three dollars was taken in for the Holy Childhood collection. Moreover, a large number of cancelled postage stamps and a considerable amolUlt of tinfoil were gathered for the benefit of the :Missions. The Catholic literature, Worn Clothes, and Holy Communion sections were active in their endeavor to emulate the splendid work of the Senior Sodalists. Two entertainments were given by the Junior Sodality. 36 LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

8S CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Constants, Majors and Minors. Sixteen units are required for graduation. Of these three must be in English, one in elementary Algebra, one in plane Geometry, one in Science, two in Social Studies, one of which shall be advanced American History (~) and CiVics (:72). These subjects are termed constants, and shall be required for graduation in all courses. The remaining lmits must be offered as follows: In addition to the re quirements in English there must be offered one other major sequence of three units and two minor sequences of two units each. The following will be deemed satis factory major units: three units of a foreign language, three units of mathematics, three units of social studies, three units of natural science. Two units of anyone of the foregoing groups of studies constitute a minor se quence. Not less than two units of any language may be offered. Diplomas and Certificates. Diplomas are given by the Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Prin cipal, to those members of the Fourth Year who have satisfactorily completed a regular course as outlined on the following pages. To others, who have not completed the required number of units, certificates of work satis factorily completed will be issued. The diploma will not. be granted to anyone who is not recommended by the Principal to the Trustees as being of good moral character; nor shall it be granted to anyone who is in arrears on the Treasurer's books.
CERTIFICATE PRIVILEGES St. Xavier High School holds accredited relationship with the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. "The Association's official recogni- 39 tion gives prestige to a school among educated men and women everywhere. Its recorded approval is a letter of introduction to all colleges, universities and professional schools in the land, and guarantees efficiency and high standing to these institutions. Accredited relations with the Association bring to a high school or academy the same distinction and honor, as an institution, that membership in the society of Phi Beta Kappa or Sigma Xi confers upon an individual, or that high rating by Bradstreet or Dun brings to a :firm in business." Due to this relationship with the North Central Association, the certificate of the St. Xavier High School will admit its holder unconditionally to any college, university or professional school in the following States: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Olda homa, Wisconsin and Wyoming. St. Xavier High School is recognized as a high school of the first grade by the Department of Public Instruction of Ohio, and by the Ohio State University. It is also formally affiliated to the University of Cin cinttati, and its graduates admitted on certificate.
40 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Three courses of study are provided, the Classical, the Scientific and the English. The Classical Course prepares for entrance to the Arts Course of any college. This course includes four years of Latin, three years of Greek, and the college en trance requirements in English, History, Mathematics, Science and Modern Languages. It is the necessary preparation for the A.B. course at St. Xavier College. The Scientific Course emphasizes Mathematics, Science and Modern Languages, and prepares for entrance to the best scientific and engineering schools. The English Course is designed mainly for those who do not intend to pursue their studies beyond the secondary school, or who expect to enter upon a business career after four years of high school work. The program of studies for the First Year is practi cally the same for all courses. At the beginning of the Second Year a choice must be made of that particular course in which a student is to continue his studies. As is evident, this choice is to be made in accordance with the minimum preliminary educational requirements of each student's 'prospective career. The Principal and teachers will give every possible assistance and direction in this matter. However, the Principal will not allow any student to enter definitely upon a course, unless he first receives from the student's parents or guardian a written statement, approving the choice and relieving the School of all responsibility for any disappointment which may arise afterward if the student finds himself debarred from entering upon the career of his choice because of his inability to meet the preliminar;y educational require ments set down for such a career. The total number of students who have entered college from this School since its foundation in October, 1831, 41 has been ~,199. These have entered Annapolis, the Catholic University, (Washington D. C.,) Campion College, University of Cincinnati, Colorado School of Mines, Fordham University, Georgetown University, Harvard, Johns Hopkins University, St. Mary's College, St. Louis University, Loyola University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Marquette University, Ohio State University, West Point, St. Xavier College, Yale, and other colleges. The attention of parents and students is called to the present minimum preliminary educational requirements for law and medicine in Ohio.

NOTES ON THE CURRICULUM 1. The Classical Course outlined above has no electives among the 16 units. However, the more capable students, but these only, that is, those who make at least 80 per cent in the four assigned branches, may be per mitted to carry five regular branches, thus giving 17 to 20 units of work, though only 16 are necessary lor a diploma. In such cases, besides the diploma, a credit card specifyiJ1g their work will be given. 9l. Any Language taken up must be pursued for two years; and only one language may be begun in any year. 3. Christian Doctrine and Elocution are accorded their due attention over and above the closed schedule here outlined. 4. The Faculty reserves the right to refuse to give an elective course for which there is not a sufficient number of applicants. Classes are usually not formed for less than ten students. 5. No student may take less than twenty periods a week, nor more than twenty-five. 6. Only one Science may be taken in any year.
48 DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION Unless otherwise specifically indicated below, all branches are taught five periods each week. Each period covers fifty minutes of actual teaching. Double periods are given for laboratory work.

Lectures and recitations, four periods a week; laboratory work, one double period a week. Text: Bergen, Elements oj Botany. Laboratory Manual: Meier, Plant Study.
CHEMISTRY This course includes lectures, demonstration, recitations and problems combined with laboratory. It is designed to acquaint the student with the fundamental principle; of the science, to meet the 49 demands of a liberal education and to lay the foundation for more advanced work in college. The work of the school-room is supple mented by a number of visits to the various chemical industries of the city and vicinity. Sixty recorded experiments are required for laboratory credits. Text: McPherson and Henderson's Firs! Course in Chemistry. Laboratory Manual, by the same authors.
DEBATING This course is open to the students of the Third and Fourth Year. Its object is to develop ease and fluency in public speaking, and a practical acquaintance with the details of parliamentary prac tice. The habit of clear and logical thought on a given topic, pro ficiency in the extempore expression of one's thoughts, together with an apt and forceful delivery are aimed at throughout the course. The class meets two hours each week.
ELOCUTION Once each week throughout the four years each class is drilled separately in vocal culture. articulation, gesture, declamation. char acter impersonation, and readings in prose and verse. The students are required to speak before the class a definite number of times during each semester, and representatives from various classes are chosen to speak before the whole School at the quarterly Assem blies. A gold medal is awarded annually to the student in each year of the high school course who deli~ers the best declamation in the public contest. ENGLISH In the English Course the general principles of rhetoric are studied, the various modes of composition are practiced to give facility in writing clearly and correctly, and enough literature is read to develop the beginnings of good taste and the first elements of literary culture. It is not the purpose of the high school to teach poetry, fiction, the art of short-story writing, the principles of oratory, the elaborate structure of the essay, or the technique of the drama. To do so would be futile, as these subjects are ordinarily beyond the capacity of the high school student. The literature in these forms assigned to the high school is used only to illustrate the matter of the class, to furnish material for oral and written composition, and to enable the instructor to foster in the students a habit of right reading. The literature assigned to the classes is divided into three sec- 50 tions: tal Texts Jor detailed shtdy. All of these should be studi~d in class and be well known, though it may not be necessary. or even practicable, to read each work entirely during class. Required are: a knowledge of the subject matter and form of each work, with an explanation of the principal allusions; the literary qualities. so far as they illustrate the rhetorical principles of the\year; a biographical outline of the authors and an account of their works. [b] Stlpple mcntary reading. These texts must be read by all, and should be known as the preceding, but without the same detailed accuracy. [c] Class reading Jor book reports. Each student is obliged to ma.ke one book report each month, but not more than one.
ENGLISH I The work of this year is intended to serve as an introduction to rhetoric, as distinguished from grammar, and such a knowledge of the principles as may help the student in correct, coherent, yet simple expression, both oral and written. The composition work is abundant, especially in letter writing. In literature the purpose will be to arouse and develop an interest in reading, and to teach the elements of discrimination of worth less books from those worth while. No student will be allowed to pass beyond the First Year who cannot: [a] spell correctly 85 per cent. of ordinary, non-technical words such as are found in any chapter of Irving, Lamb or Stevenson; [b] observe the ordinary conventions of capitaliza tion, punctuation, and letter-writing; [c] form ordinary sen tences and join them coherently. Rhetoric. A review of English grammar; the elements of rhetoric; diction, sentence structure, paragraphing, figures; letter-writing. Brooks' English Composition. Book I; Donnelly's Imitation and Analysis. Composition. Daily exercises in the analysis and structure of sentences and paragraphs. Weekly themes in simple narration and description. Frequent writing of telegrams, and of social and business notes and letters. Literature. [aJ Texts for detailed study: Dickens, Christmas Stories; Longfellow, Selected Poems; Irving, Sleetch Book; Hawthorne, Twice-Told Tales. [b] Supple mentary reading: Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans; Stevenson, Treasure Island: Poe, Poema and Tales. [e] Reading for book reports: Group I. * *See page 54. 51 ENGLISH II In this class a beginning is made in the modes of composition. The repitition of punctuation, diction, the rhetorical sentence and sentence variation and figures is continued throughout the year in conjunction with the regular work. The paragraph is more fully explained, and repeated in the narrative paragraph during the first semester, and in the descriptive and narrative paragraph during the second semester. The student at the end of the Second Year is expected to be certain of the coherence of his sentences and of their proper transition. He should, more over, be able to group his sentences about a common topic in the paragraph. The chief guide to his higher gradation will be his ability to paragraph in his compositions, and to understand and interpret simple literary selections. Rhetoric. In the first semester the regular subject is nar ration in its elements; in the second semester, description in its elements. During the last quarter, exposition [ex planation] is begun in connection with description. Composition. Daily exercises in paragraph writing [in cluding brief newspaper paragraphs], with emphasis on the practice in definition in the second semester. Weekly themes in narration, description, and exposition, frequently in the form of letters. Literature. [al Texts for detailed study; Scott, Ivan hoe; Whittier, Snowbound, and other poems; Sir Roger de Ooverly Papers; Washington, Farewell Address; Web ster, Bunker Hill Oration; [b] Supplementary reading; Cooper, The Spy; Scott, The Talisman: Longfellow, Tales of a Wayside Inn. [c] Reading for book reports: Group II.
ENGLISH III The rhetorical principles are restricted to the simple essay, narrative, biographical, personal, etc., to the simple story, and to the simple forms of argumentation, without a treatment of the essay, short story or oration as art forms. In the treatment of argumentation, emphasis is laid on the proposition, its correct statement and proper study, and on the usual sources of argu ments. Rhetoric. Exposition [continued]; outlining, planning, summarizing; the chria and forms of the simple essay. Narration, [continued]; plot, character delineation; the elements and kinds of the short story. Argumentation; debating. Textbook: Brooks' English Oomposition, Book 11. 52 Composition. Frequent exercises in paragraph writing. and in making analysis, outline, synopses. Weekly themes in letters, descriptions of a more elaborate kind. narrations involving simple plots, chrias and essays of a simple kind. Once each semester a paper of at least 1000 words will be required, either a short story. or a biographical, critical, or scientific essay. In the second semester at least one simple speech or debate will be required. Literature. In the literary study frequent reference, by comparison or otherwise. is made to the textsand,read ings of the preceding years. The reason ror this is chiefly that the students may be able to recall the literature of the course in view of the final College Entrance Examinations. [a] Texts for detailed study; Dickens. David Copperfield; Lowell, Vision of Sir Launfal, and other poems; Lamb, Essays of Elia; Macaulay. Essay on Johnson. [b] Supple mentary reading: De Quincey, Flight of a Tartar Tribe; Eliot. Silas Marner; Shakespeare, Julius Caesar. [c] Reading for book reports: Group III.
ENGLISH IV In this year special attention is given to the review of the litera ture of the high school course and to the acquirement of as much literary erudition as is possible. Each student should be familiar with the requirements of the Uniform College Entrance Board and with the present entrance requirements and examinations of standard colleges. RhetoriC. Review of the four modes of composition; the didactic essay. its qualities and kinds; the speech. its component parts. the speech for occasion. Prosody and versification; the common verse forms; a brief study of the nature of poetry and its forms.

86 NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL
St. Xavier High School is now bringing its eighty sixth year of existence to a successful close. 'While' venerable in point of age and traditions, and in the long roster of distinguished men whose names, once writ upon its students' register, have become noted in Church and State, in public and professional llie, the School is still youthful in vigor and energy, in its desire to meet and best serve the ever-changing needs and conditions of modem life. While passing more than once through periods of financial stress, St. Xavier has thus far succeeded in adjusting its expense budget to its revenues. To anyone familiar with the large endowments of non-Catholic insti·· tutions, it is a matter of surprise that Catholic colleges and high schools, with their generally scant incomes can manage to exist, and the surprise disappears only when we recall that their professors give their services without salary. But even with this advantage, it must be evident that an unendowed college is hampered in many ways. New buildings must be erected, old ones repaired, new scientific apparatus and other equipment must be secured, and professors for special work and technical branches engaged. In spite of all obstacles, St. Xavier has forged ahead, and relying largely on Providence, is now planning a greater St. Xavier which will be worthy of the progres sive metropolis and people for whose benefit it is projected. Whoever feels within him the noble prompting to strive for the uplifting of his fellow-men, will scarcely find richer returns for his investments than in the cause of Catholic higher education. The world-long struggle between truth and error is now keenest in the intellectuat 87 -field,' and truth can only hope to win, if its champions are well equipped with all the best weapons of modern learning and research. "We have confidence in our cause; let us show that we are willing to make sacrifices for it. Persons of benovolent intentions sometimes hesitate to give needed assistance to colleges, under the mistaken impression that such benevolence aids only the sons of the wealthy, who should be able to provide for themselves. .As a matter of fact the majority of students in our Catholic colleges and high schools are the children of parents who are making great sacrifices and depriving themselves of many comforts to give their sons a Catholichigher educa tion. The number of wealthy students in our colleges is generally comparatively small. There is abundance of talent and ambition amongst our Catholic youth, but only a small portion of it is now being developed to the advantage of society. Nor can we hope that this wasted and unused talent and ability will be utilized, until our men and women of means learn to appreciate the import ance of higher education to Church, state and individual .and at the same time realize how many are hindred from attaining to intellectual eminence by lack of opportunity. To be practical, we hope that the large debt of St. Xavier will soon be cancelled, its needed buildings erected, burses and scholarships founded; and, better still, en dowments made, so that no bright, ambitious graduate of our parochial schools may be barred, for lack of means, from a Catholic higher education.
