PROSPECT US OF ST. IGNA~f i US' COLLEGE, CLE\'ELA l.), OHIO, JERSEY STREET. 'l'bis Institution, conducted by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, was opened for the reception of day scholars on the 6th of September, 1886. It was incor porated by the Secretary of State, December 29, r 890, conferring on the College the power of giving the ordinary degrees. 'l'he Course of Study is the Classical Course, com pleted in six years. For pupils not sufficiently advanced to enter upon the classical studies, a Class of Rudiments has been added to the regular course. Applicants for this class, however, must be able to read, write and spell credit ably, and in arithmetic they must know the four opera tions with whole numbers, and common fractions. As a knowledge of Drawing, Shorthand, and Vocal and Instrumental Music can not fail to be of importance to some, these studies, too, are open to all students. ST. IG ATIUS' COLLEGE, r898-<)9. 'I' he Object of the Classical Cour. e is to gt ve the student a thorough, liberal education. It has been found by long experience that this is the only Course which harmoniously and fully develops all the faculties of the mind, exercises the memory, cultivates a habit of reflecting, forms a correct taste, and teaches the student the best use of his power. This Course pre pares the student to excel in any pursuit, whether professional or commercial. The Course comprises Christian Doctrine, the Latin, Greek, and English lan guages; Rhetoric, Poetry, Elocution, and English Literature; Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; His tory and Geography; Bookkeeping and Penmanship. The degree of A. B. is conferred on those students who follow up the six years' Course of Classical and Scientific Studies by an additional year's Course of Mental Philosophy. Owing to the great importance now attached to a knowledge of German, every opportunity is offered to the students of perfecting themselves in this language. The study of French is optional. The Scholastic Year consists of one session, which begins in the first week of September and ends in the last week of June, when the Annual Commencement and the Distribution of Premiums take place. The session is divided into two terms, the first 4 ending on the 3 I st of January and the second in the last week of June. ST. IGNATIUS' COLLEGE, 1898-99· GENERAL REGULATIONS. Admi sion.

Many inconveniences will thus be avoided and order secured. On leaving, students should take their books, etc., with them, a the College is not responsible for any articles left behind. Competition. Frequent written competition lake place, the results of which determine the standing of the student and the honors of the class. Every other month a literary entertainment is given, at which ex ...... ercises in elocution, with vocal and instrumental music { at intervals, manifest the proficiency the pupils have made during this period, and premium cards are awarded to such as have been distinguished for good conduct, application and proficiency. Examinations. Class specimens are given from time to time, and examinations are held at the end of each term. Promotions depend largely on the final examina tions, but mainly on the standing in class during the preceding year. Boarders are not admitted.

SPECIAL REGULATIONS. Home Stud~ ' · Parents are expected to insist on their sons' indispensable duly of home study. I t is utterly impossible to accomplish the work laid out for each year unl ss the students devote at least two or three hours daily to private study at home. Attendance. Punctual attendance is earnestly rec, ommended. Illness is, generally speaking, the only excuse for staying away. Parents are regularly in formed of the non-attendance of their sons, who, in the case of ab encc, are invariably required to bring a note -6- ST. IGN TIUS' COLLEGE, r898-99. of excuse to the Prefect of Discipline. If parents do not insist on home study and punctual attendance, they need not be astonished if their sons disappoint their expectations. Religions ') 'raining. The Moral and Religiou Training of the scholars being the most important part of education, the students arc required to be present at Mass every clay, to make the Annual Retreat, and to go to the Sacraments at least once a month. Politeness. Along with the :r.Ioral and I\Iental Training, the Faculty lay great stress on the clevelop rnent of the manners of perfect gentlemen. For faults committed outside t!te premises, the officers of the College are by no means responsible; should, however, any serious charge be sufficiently proved, the guilty will be punished according to the gravity of the offense. Paternal Government. The rules are enforced with gentleness combined with firmness, and punishment is resorted to only when motives of honor, self-respect and religion fail. Report.,. \V"eekly reports are given respecting the students' conduct, application, attention and deport ment; parents are requested to sign these reports and to see that they are returned lo the College. At the end of each term semi-annual reports will be sent to the parents to inform them of their sons' proficiency in the various branches. School Hour . The College is open every morning at 7 o'clock sun time. Those who come before the time of class should proceed at once to the study hall, and devote the interval to private study. All are - ST.

M. To excuse late arrival, be it on account of great distance or what reason soever, special arrangements must be made with the Prefect of Discipline. Holidays.
