{)OURSE OF STUDY, ET{).

The State Normal College was opened with appropriate ceremonies on Wednesday, the 1st of December, 1875, and is designed for the professional education of Teachers, and "practice in all the grades of instruction." . It constitutes with its Model School, the Literary Department of the Uni­ versity of Nashville, but is under the sanction of the State of Tennessee. It derives its support at present from the funds of the U niversityand the" Peabody Education Fund." It receives as students young gentlemen and ladies from Tennessee or any of the States, and is designed, by the three Boards interested in its welfare, to become a centre of edu­ cational influence for this and all neighboring States.

ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission must not be "under six­ teen years of age, nor over thirty." Candidates must pre­ sent a certificate of good moral character; must declare their intention to become teachers, and their wil1ingness to observe faithfu1ly the regulations and perform the duties required while members of the institution, and must pass a satisfactory examination in the ordinary grammar-school studies.

DESIGN. The State Normal College is strictly professional, and does not, where it can po~sibly be avoided, propose to un­ dertake any work which can be as well performed in the ordinary schools. The more thorough and complete the previous education of the student, the more valuable will be the advantages to be acquired at the College. 6 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE.

The institution designs to prepare its students, as far as possible, for the organizing, t ~aching, and general manage­ ment of schools and higher educational institutions, both public and private. To effect this object, the

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION Requires that the student should possess a thorough know­ ledge-first, of the branches of learning required to be taught in the different grades of school, and which should be as far as possible, previously acquired; and, second, of the most economical and effective method of teaching those branches. Consequently, the course of instruction embra­ ces a rapid review of the more elementary studies with reference to the best ways of teaching them, a review of the higher branches of knowledge with ·the same object, and a careful study of such other branches as time and cir­ cumstances will permit. The scholastic year is divided into three terms.

STUDIES. First Term.-Primary and grammar-school studies, with reference to teaching them, viz.: Arithmetic, oral and writ­ ten ; Geography, physical and civil; Map Drawing, Eng­ lish Grammal.' and Analysis, etc. Second Term.-Geometry, Chemistry with its applications to the purposes of common life ; Hist.ory of the United States, Physiology and Hygiene, Map Drawing, etc. Third Term.-Geometry completed, Chemistry completed, Rhetoric, Book-keeping.

SECOND YEAR, First Term.-Algebra, English Literature, Natural His­ tory, Natural Philosophy. Second Term.-Trigonometry, Intellectual Philosophy, Geology, English Literature. Thi1·(l Term.-General History, Trigonometry, Botany, Intellectual Philosophy. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. 7

THIRD YEAR, First Term.-Calculus, Astronomy, Constitution of the United States, School Laws of Tennessee, Moral Science, Practice and Observation in Model School. Second Term.-Calculus, Astronomy, Reviews in Gram­ mar and High-School Studies, Critical Readings of English Classics, Practice and Observation in Model School. Third Term.-Physics and Natural History with reference to Object Teaching, Theory and Art of Teaching, Practice and Observation in Model School, Languages, etc., reviewed and completed. Such changes will be made in this course from time to time, and such studies added, as circumstances may require. The Latin, French and German languages, are taken ac­ cording to a parallel course. Drawing with black-board delineations, English Composition, Reading, Spelling, De­ fining, Penmanship, Vocal Music, etc., receive attention throughout the year. There is also a weekly exercise in the "current events" of the day. As this is designed to be a Etrictly professional institution, all studies, from the beginning to the end of the course, are taught with special reference to teaching them ; and no study or exercise is deemed satisfactory which cannot be readily reproduced in the same or a better manner. Students are required, in every study, to occupy tempo­ rarily the place of the teacher of the class, subject to the criticisms of both teacher and classmates; and, at appointed times, the more advanced students are required to take the charge of the whole department, and give a short general lesson, subject also to criticism. All studies are treat~d upon the topical plan, with such use of text-books as may be deemed advisable.

DISCIPLINE. All students are expected to govern themselves; if unable or unwilling to do this, they will be regarded as unfit for the responsible duties of the teachers' profession. 8 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE.

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMA..

To such students as are able to remain at the institution only a portion of the time required for the full course, a certificate may be given, stating the time spent at the insti­ tution, and the general impressions of the teachers. Those who complete satisfactorily the first two years of the course will be entitled to a certificate signed by the offi­ cers of the State Normal College and of the State Board of Education. Persons who can remain for only a part of the time pre­ scribed, and have an honorable discharge, will be allowed to resume and complete the course at a future opportunity. The Diploma of the University is given to those only who have completed the entire course, and on all such the degree of "LICENTIATE OF INSTRUCTION" is formally con­ ferred. A. law of the State of Tennessee directs that "the possession of such Diploma shall exempt the holder thereof from the examination prescribed as a condition precedent to employment in the Public Schools of the State; any such graduate being eligible as a teacher in any County of the State."

TERMS, ETC.

The scholastic year commences on the first Wednesday in October, and closes on the last Wednesday in May. The year is divided into three terms, with but one regular vaca­ tion, i. e., at the holidays. The daily sessions are short, and are designed to be actively employed in recitation, practice, etc., etc. All study and preparation for the student's work is to be done at his room.

EXPENSES.

Tuition is at present free. Every student, however, is expected to pay at the beginning of each term, $1.00 for the use of such books as are provided by the institution, and for incidental expenses. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. 9

PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS.

In view of the want of well established and thoroughly furnished Normal Schools of a high order in the South, ex­ .cept for colored teachers, and of the fact that few of the States in this section of the country are in a condition to establish one at present within their own borders, the Trus· tees of the Peabody Educational Fund have contributed a part of the amount necessary to convert the Literary De­ partment of the University of Nash ville into a State Nor­ mal College. They have furthermore determined to estab­ ·lish in this school a limited number of scholarships, of $200 each, for the encouragement and aid of pupils from adjoin­ ing States, whose characters, abilities and general culture give special promise of usefulness as teachers. Applicants must have the unqualified recommendation of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, pass, with an examiner 'appointed by the undersigned for the pur­ pose, a good examination for a graduate of a first­ class High School, be accepted by President STEARNs, and promise to teach at least two years, if they have opportu­ nity. If, upon a half year's trial, reasonable expectations are not met, the scholarships will be discontinued. The longest period for which it will be given to any pupil is two years. Application is to be made to the undersigned, or to President STEARNS through the State Superintendent. , B. SEARS, General Agent. STAUNTON, VA., October 1, 1876.

In view of the liberality of the Trustees of the Peabody Educational Fund, and to carry out the design contempla­ ted in the above circular more fully, it has been determined to make no charge for tuition in the case of those holding "scholarships," and that tuition shall also be free to all 10 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE-STUDENTS,

students from Tennessee, ladies or gentlemen, who intend to fit themselves for the teachers' profession. A charge, however, of $3 per annum will be made in every case for use of books and for incidental expenses. Catalogues and further information may be obtained from EBEN S. STEARNS, President, etc.

MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY DEPARTMENT.

This branch of the University was founded by the be­ quest of the late MoNTGOMERY BELL. It is designed to fit boys for college and for business. By the will of the Founder, gratuitous instruction is given to twenty-five boys, of not less than ten or more than fourteen years old, "who are unable to support and educate themselves, and whose parents are unable to do so," from the Counties of Davidson, Dickson, Montgomery, and Williamson, Tennessee. It consists of two Departments-High, or Academical, and a Grammar School; each having a thr·ee years' course of studies, selected and taught on the most approved modern methods. Believing that, in its adaptation to the wants of the country, the system of training pursued and the advantages it affords for a complete and thorough education, it is un­ surpassed, it is offered with the greatest confidence to such as wish to prepare themselves for admission tb any College or University, or for business pursuits. A Primary School for children is in contemplation.

I ANNOUNCEMENT.

SESSION 1877'-'78.

THE· TwENTY-NINTH Regular Course of Instruction in the .:Medical Department of the University of Nashville wm commence on Monday, the 1st day of October next, and end on the last Thursday in February, 1878. On the 17th of September next-two weeks before the I Lectures commence-the Anatomical Rooms will be opened for students. The facilities for the study of Practical J Anatomy are complete. ~ In again issuing the Annual Announcement, the Board of Trustees would call the public attention, and that of the Medical Profession especially, to the unexampled career of prosperity which the Medical Department has hitherto ex­ hibited. Th.e munificent

ENDOWMENT Of buildings on which it was founded, has been increased and extended from time to time, until it now affords a basis for permanency and successful instruction, which enables its corps of able teachers to maintain the signal distinction it has so long held among American Schools of Medicine, and with its splendid EQUIPMENT Of Hospital facilities, Museum, Cabinets, Apparatus, etc., justifies the liberally

LOW RATE OF FEES Charged for tuition. The prevailing spirit in the matter of all varieties of education is to make that great boon as !lC­ cessible and as nearly free to all who desire it, as possible; and by the generous and cordial support which we have MEDICAL DEPART11IENT, 17 granted to the Medical Department, its Faculty have been authorized to present inducements in this respect unsur­ passed by any similar institution of equal age and estab­ lished reputation, as an Alma Mater of Physfcians, now numbering, as it does, nearly two thousand in its Cata­ logue of Graduates.

THE CHAIR OF MALARIAL DISEASES AND ETHICAL MEDICINE

Has been created to meet the wants of the practitioner in the treatment of malarial diseases in all their protean forms, and of the profession everywhere, in the promotion of a higher esthetic culture. It is with pleasure that the Fa­ culty announce the return of Dr. W. K. BOWLING to his old field of labor and of love. In the Department assigned him he has long held advanced views of the highest inter­ est to the profession.

LOCATION.

It would be difficult to find a city combining more ad­ vantages, as a location for a Medical School, than Nash­ ville. Highly favored in climate, midway between the cold of more Northern cities and the debilitating temperature of the extreme South; a great railroad center, to which lines converge from all directions, having an active population of nearly fifty thousand; surrounded by an exceedingly fertile and beautiful country, thickly peopled; the capital of the State; the location of the Blind and Lunatic Asylums; the seat of great Universities-all make it a place for a School Medicine.

COLLEGE BUILDING AND MUSEUM. The building occupied by the Medical School is a large and commodious edifice. This, in connection with the hos­ pital, forms a handsome block of buildings, presenting two fronts, and of imposing appearance. The ample grounds around the block extend across from College to Market 18 :MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. streets, and include an entire square. The College build­ ing has a large hall for lecturing and general purposes, a spacious Chemical Laboratory and Lecture Room, a well­ arranged Amphitheatre, a very large and inviting Museum Room, together with two large and well ventilated Dissect­ ing Rooms, Special Laboratories, Professors' and Apparatus Rooms, Janitors' Rooms, etc. The entire building is sup­ plied with water and gas, and is heated with furnaces, and made comfortable during the limited cold weather we have in this climate. The Museum is noted for its extent, and the value and variety of its Anatomical, Physiological, Pathological, Surgical, and Obstetrical specimens, and for its Cabinet of Materia Medica. It has been recently re-arranged, and rendered more complete by new additions. The Chemical portion is well supplied with medicinal subst:mces and pre­ parations, and such other articles as may be required in the elucidation of the theory and practice of Chemistry and Pharmacy. ' METHOD OF TEACHING. It is the purpose of the Faculty to make' the teaching thorough and practical. Five Lectures will be delivered daily, in the College Halls, upon the different subjects of the course. During the week, the student will hear four Lec­ tures upon each branch of Medicine. Daily examinations or reviews will be held by each Professor at the beginning of his hour, in order that the facts of the previous Lecture may be impressed upon the minds of the students. The various Courses will be illustrated by experiments, dissec­ tions, surgical operations, clinics, models, anatomical, bo­ tanical, and chemical specimens, and by such other means as may wake the instruction imparted practical and pointed. The Cabinets of Anatomy, Physiology, Patholo­ gy, Obstetrics, Surgery, Materia Medica, and Chemistry, are richly supplied with preparations and specimens, which will be used as occasion demands. The Chair of Obstetrics, in addition to its full supply of Models in wax, apparatus, instruments, etc., has recently MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 19

had added to it modern plates and diagrams, making com­ plete its equipage for the elucidation of the entire Course. The Cabinet of Materia Medica has also been liberally sup­ plied with plates, representations of medicinal plants, spe­ cimens of drugs and chemicals, and all the appliances for the illustration of the branch. . The members of the Class will be invited during the Course, to inspect for study this we1l supplied Cabinet, with which the Museum is furnished. I,

HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL INSTRUCTION.

The Hospital building, erected last year by the Faculty, and entirely under their control, has a frontage of one hun­ dred and fifty-four feet, with other dimensions in propor­ tion, and adjoins the College edifice. Its wards, well filled at all times with ample material for Surgical and Medical teaching, are immediately accessible from the Lecture Halls. This is a peculiar feature, enjoyed by very few Medical In­ stitutions, and one that, with us, has been pronounced by visitors of large experience as teachers, very superior and excellent in arrangement. In addition to the College Hospital, the hospital wards of the State Prison, numbering eleven hundred inmates, will supply numerous clinical patients.* In the two hospitals the facilities for witnessing Opera­ tive Surgery are unsurpassed. Twice a week operations are performed in the presence of the Class. The number of these operations is very large, and the variety great, em­ bracing every Surgical disease and injury, including the Surgical operations of the eye and ear. The Obstetrical Ward of the Hospital will be under the clinical control of the Professor of Obstetrics and his As­ sistant. It is designed to render students familiar with the practical details of Parturition, by assigning to their care, under the supervision of the Professor or Assistant, such cases as may be available, not only in the Hospital, but in private practice also. In this way it is proposed to teach * All charity patients will be treated for disease or be made the sub­ jects of necessary operations, before the Class. 20 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. them to diagnose the various presentations and positions, more fully to comprehend the mechanism of labor, and give them facility in manual manipulation and instrumental delivery. The facilities enumerated afford the Professors of Sur­ gery, Obstetrics, Practice, ·Clinical Medicine, etc., with a field for the thorough teaching of disease, as seen at the bed-side, unsurpassed by any institution in the country. ·

DISEASES OF THE EYE AND EAR. Professor Lindsley, in addition to his Lectures on Physi­ ology, will deliver a course of Lectures on the diseases of the Eye and Ear, which will be fully illustrated by Clini­ cal material supplied from the Hospital, and from private practice. The N onnal and Pathological conditions of the Eye and Ear will be made especially interesting by the use of the magic lantern, which renders drawings of these . con­ ditions life-like and satisfactorily visible to an entire Class.

PRACTICAL ANATOMY. The Anatominal Rooms, which are under the general di­ rection of the · Professor and Demonstrators of Anatomy, are abundantly supplied with fresh and wholesome materi­ al. The Demonstrator and his Associate will be present every evening to direct and assist in dissections. Stu­ dents will be taught the art of injecting, preparing, and preserving specimens, both wet and dry ; also the manner of making corroded specimens of the vessels, tubes, and ducts of the various organs. At the proper time, Classes in Operative Surgery will be formed, and each student will receive practical instruction upon the Cadaver, in the appli­ cation of the bandage, in the ligation of arteries, and in the performance of amputations, re-sections, etc. This De­ partment will be opened on the 26th of February.

GRADUATION. I. To Graduate, the candidate must have attained the age of twenty-one years, and be of good moral character. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, 21
