INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

An attempt is made in this Catalogue to embody items of information

upon these several points :

1st. The names of all persons who have ever had any connection with

Centre College from its origin, either as Trustees, Presidents, or Profes-

sors, with their several terms of service.

2d. The names of all persons, alumni or others, upon whom any hon-

orary degree has been conferred by the Board.

3d. The residences of all persons whose names are mentioned in the

Catalogue.

4th. The occupations, past or present, of the alumni of the Institution,

with the degrees, titles, and offices attained, now or heretofore, by

them.

5th. Alumni deceased.

In the very nature of an effort of the kind, embodying information so

difficult in many cases to be obtained,, there must be errors and imper-

fections. These we desire to correct in future editions. All persons who

may notice mistakes of any kind, or possess information necessary for

future editions, are earnestly requested to communicate such matters to

some member of the Faculty.

Some omissions we have no means of supplying ; we find, for example,

that the degree of A. M. was conferred, in course, upon several young

gentlemen, but a blank in the place of the names is found in the minutes

of the Board.

4G CENTRE COLLEGE CATALOGUE.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE.

Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky, in 1819.

Jeremiah Chamberlain, D. D., the first President, went into office in 1823.

In 1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an arrangement with the Pres-

byterian Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act of the Legislature modifying

its charter, so as to secure to the Synod, on its payment of $20,000 to the

funds of the Institution, the right of appointing the Board of Trustees.

This condition having, in 1830, been completely fulfilled on the part of the

Synod, all the members of the Board have, since that period, been appointed

by the Synod., as their terms of office, from time to time, have expired. One-

third of the Board are appointed each year.

Dr. Chamberlain resigned his office in 1826, and the Rev. Gideon Black-

burn, D. D., succeeded him in 1827, the office having, in the mean time,

been temporarily filled by the Rev. David C. Proctor. On the resignation

of Dr. Blackburn, in 1830, John C. Young, D. D., was elected. Dr. Your;c

died in office June 23d, 1857, and on the 6th of August following, Rev. L.

W. Green, D. D., was elected his successor, and entered upon his duties

January 1st, 1858.

The number of students varied, in the earlier period of the existence of

the Institution, from fifty to one hundred and ten, and a very large propor-

tion of those in attendance were pursuing only a partial and irregular course.

In 1830, the number of students had been reduced to thirty-three, of all

classes, including those in the Grammar School, as well as those in the Col-

lege proper. Since that period, the number has been, with slight temporary

variations, steadily but slowly increasing, until exclusive of the Grammar

School it has ranged, during the last few years, from one hundred and fifty

to one hundred and eighty-seven. The number of those pursuing a full

course, has increased in a much greater ratio. The graduating classes, for-

merly very small, have been steadily enlarging. The graduates of the first

twelve years amounted to fifty five. The number was increased at the close

of the last session to five hundred and seventy-two. Upwards of two thous-

and have been connected with the Institution, nearly all of whom have

received all their higher education from its instructions.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. 47

THE FUNDS.The original amount paid by the Synod to obtain the right of appointing

the Board, was entirely consumed in the buildings, apparatus, library, and

current expenses, and in 1830 the College was wholly destitute of means.

Since that period, funds have been contributed by the liberality of various

individuals, which, as invested by the Board in stocks of various kinds, and

notes, form an endowment equivalent to about ninety -five thousand dollars.

The funds are annually increasing from legacies, donations, and scholarships.

The Synod at its meeting in Lebanon, 1858, authorized the Board of Trus-

tees to make application to the Churches for the sum of $50,000, to be ap-

propriated to the erection of additional College Buildings, and for other pur-

poses needful for the full equipment of the College. In pursuance of the

authority thus granted, the Board appointed Rev. F. G. Strahan their agent,

who has been prosecuting his work vigorously and successfully during the

past year.

ADMISSION.Candidates for admission into any Department of the Institution are ex-

amined by the Faculty, and placed in the class which they are prepared to

enter.

Candidates for admission into any particular class, must stand an exami-

nation on all the course previously pursued by the class. But students desir-

ing to pursue some special branch of study, are permitted to enter any class

for which they are found prepared, subject, however, to the direction of the

Faculty in the amount of study required—which shall always be equal to

that of regular students.

In all cases, the candidate is required to present satisfactory testimonials

of his moral character and standing in the institution which he last at-

tended.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION ANDDISCIPLINE.

The students are all required to attend, on Sabbath day, on the preaching

of the President, unless their parents expressly desire that they shall attend

one of the churches of the village. They have also an opportunity of at-

tending a religious lecture from the President, once during each week. Re-

ligious services are held in the Chapel every morning before recitations com-

mence, and also a Bible recitation on Sabbath morning, at which all the

students are required to be present. The moral and religious culture of the

youth under their care, has been always regarded by the officers of the Col-

lege as their most important object. Their aim is not to inculcate the pecu-

liarities of any religious sect, but to fix in the minds and hearts of their

pupils those great and controlling truths of revelation, which influence the

happiness and shape the character of men for time and eternity; and while

no parent of any other religious denomination has ever had his son proselyted

here, many have rejoiced to find their sons return, at the close of their Col-

lege course, deeply impressed with those religious principles which give

strength and consolation to man in the duties and trials of life.

The College has been remarkable, for many years, for the moral and reli-

gious habits of its students, and for the rare occurrence of such disorders as

are frequent in many Institutions. Periods of three and four years have

passed, without the necessity of any exercise of discipline beyond admoni-

tion. And when, on rare occasions, the presence of boys of bad habits

(formed elsewhere,) and ungovernable dispositions, has produceda temporary

deterioration in the general character of the students, the prompt exercise

of discipline, in dismissing the offenders, has ever, in the course of a single

session, restored the accustomed orderliness and regularity which have so

uniformly distinguished the pupils of this Institution. The causes of this

happy exemption from the moral evils which are so prevalent in Colleges,

and which occasion so much well grounded apprehension in the minds of

parents acquainted with College life, are found partly in the steady and

systematic efforts made for the moral improvement of the students; partly

in the familiar intercourse cf the instructors with their pupils, whom they

endeavor to govern mainly by the laws of kindness; partly in the domesti-

cation of the students in families whose religious character influences, in a

considerable degree, all their members; and partly in the large number of

steady and pious young men, who have always resorted to the College. Theclass of society which patronizes the Institution, is a class whose children

have been usually trained under moral and religious influences.

BOARDING AND EXPENSES.One of the most striking, and, as it is fully believed, advantageous pecu-

liarities of the College is, that the students, instead of lodging in the Col-

lege buildings and boarding at a common table, lodge and board in private

families. The number living together in one house, (usually from two to

four,) is so small that they not only enjoy much more privacy and manymore comforts than can be found in College Buildings and Refectories, but

their morals and manners are better secured by their becoming incorporated

with the families among whom they are thus distributed. The advantages

of this system would recommend it to any reflecting parent, even if it in-

volved greater expense than the unnatural system which places a youth in a

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE. 49

little community composed exclusively of those of his own age, thus separa-

ting him from familiar and daily intercourse with persons older than himself,

and cutting him off from all the beneficial influences of family life. The

cost of living is not, however, gkeater here than at Institutions in which

the opposite system is adopted. The charges here for hoard and lodging,

including washing, fuel, lights, room rent, fyc, vary from $3 00 to $3 50 in

the town, and from $2 50 to $3 00 in the country.

The charges are $30 00 per annum for tuition, and $3 00 extra for fuel,

servants' hire, repairs, &c. Payment of these charges must be made in ad-

vance. Those who enter two months after the session has commenced, are

charged in proportion to the part of it that may then remain.

Young men pursuing their studies with a view to the ministry, and receiv-

ing aid from any society, receive gratuitous instruction. Any young man

wishing to pursue his studies for the ministry, by furnishing satisfactory tes-

timonials of his character and standing as to piety and talents, and of his

indigence, can procure such aid as will enable him to go through his course.

EXAMINATIONS.There are two public examinations of all the classes—one in the middle

of the College year and another at the close—held before a Committee of

the Synod, and conducted by each professor in his own department. These

examinations are either oral or written, or both combined, and are designed

to test thoroughly each student's knowledge of the studies of the session.

The final examination of the graduating class is held four weeks before

the close of the session, in the presence of a Committee of the Synod.

LITEKAKY SOCIETIES-LIBRARIES.There are three Literary Societies connected with the College. They

occupy halls, large, commodious, and fitted up with taste and elegance. The

Societies hold public exercises on the 22d of February, and on the Wednes-

day preceding Commencement each year. The number of volumes in their

libraries amounts to about 3,500. The College Library contains over 2,000

volumes, among which is a number of rare and valuable works.

COMMENCEMENT-VACATIONS.The session opens on the second Monday of September, and continues,

with a recess during the Christmas Holidays, until the last Thursday of June,

on which day the Annual Commencement is held.

LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE.The College is located in Danville, in the centre of the State. There is

daily connection by stage with Lebanon, twenty-eight miles distant, the

terminus of the Lebanon branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad;and with Nicholasville, twenty-two miles distant, on the Kentucky Central

Railroad. The town has been ever remarkable for its health, and for years

past distinguished for the moral and religious character of its population.

Parents can send their sons to no place where their morals and health wouldbe more secure.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL.The Board of Trustees, at their last meeting, determined to reorganize a

Preparatory School, under the direct supervision of the Faculty. An effort

will be made to maintain a School of high order, which can be cordially

recommended to Parents or Guardians desiring to educate their children or

wards at the College.

The course of instruction will be strictly adapted to the preparation of

young men for the Freshman Class in Centre College.

Young men partially prepared for one of the College classes, but needing

additional instruction in some special branch, can receive this in the Pre-

paratory Department without additional charge.
