To supplement the daily instruction of the class-room, a course

oflectures on English Literature, as illustrated in the writings of emi-

nent British and American authors, will be delivered during the

coming year by Mr. Leon H. Vincent in the College chapel.

In addition to the above, and adding a new feature of great

interest and profit, arrangements are being made, in co-operation

with the Faculty of the Theological Seminary, for six or eight

special lectures on subjects of practical interest.

These lectures will be delivered in the college to the students of

the two institutions by such men as Rev. Drs. John Hall, of NewYork, Francis L. Patton, of Princeton, Herrick Johnson, of

Chicago, Samuel Niccolls, of St. Louis, J. H. Bryson, of Hunts-

ville, Ala., Judge A. P. Humphrey, of Louisville, Hon. John

Martin, of Birmingham, Ala,, and Hon. A. McDougall, of Cin-

cinnati, O.

During the session of 1 889-90 the following course of lectures

on English Literature was delivered by Mr. Leon H. Vincent:

I. English Drama—Shakspeare.

II. Queen Anne's Reign—Addison.III. Dickens.

IV. Thackeray.

V. "George'Eliot."

VI. Nathaniel Hawthorne.


Courses of Study.

CLASSICAL COURSE—A. B.

This embraces a full Classical and Literary Course, and includes

the studies usually required in American colleges. In the opinion

of the Faculty this is the course which is best fitted to give the most

symmetrical development to the mind, and the broadest culture;

and it is the one which they would earnestly advise every young

man seeking an education to choose. Four years are required for

a student entering the Freshman Class to complete the course ; at

the end of which a diploma will be awarded, conferring the degree

of Bachelor of Arts. In the Freshman and Sophomore years the

studies of this course are all prescribed. In the Senior and Junior

years, regard being had to the future life-work of the student, a

number of elective studies is allowed.

SCIENTIFIC COURSE—B. Sc.

This has been arranged as a full four years' course, equivalent to

the Classical, and is designed for those who are not prepared to

take the latter, but yet desire to obtain a liberal and practical

education. Electives are allowed in this course in the Junior and

Senior years. Upon the successful completion of this course, the

candidate will be recommended to the Board of Trustees for the

degree of Bachelor of Science, and a suitable diploma awarded.

ELECTIVE COURSE—CERTIFICATE.

This is provided for those who, for some reason, do not wish to

pursue the full Classical or Scientific Course. Students taking this

course are allowed, under the advice of the Faculty, considerable

latitude in the selection of their studies, subject to the condition

that the number of recitations per week shall be equal to that of

the regular student. To students who take this course a Certificate

will be awarded at the end of not less than two years, stating what

studies have been successfully pursued by the student.


Admission,

CLASSICAL COURSE.

Before a student can enter regularly the Freshman Class in the

A. B. Course, he must pass a successful examination in the follow-

ing studies, or their equivalent

:

English.—English Grammar and Analysis; Ancient and Mod-

ern Geography; Outlines of History.

Latin.—Caesar's Commentaries, two books; Vergil's JEn^'id,

three books; four orations of Cicero; and Grammar, including

Prosody.

Greek.—Xenophon's Anabasis, two books; some knowledge of

the Attic Inflection and of the principles of Syntax, with expe-

rience in translating English into Greek, including accent, is

demanded.

Mathematics.—The whole of Arithmetic; Algebra, through

Quadratic Equations.

SCIENTIFIC COURSE.

The requirements for admission to the Freshman Class in this

course are the same as for the Classical Course, with the exception

of Greek.

Candidates for admission to a higher class than the Freshman

must stand an examination on all the studies previously pursued by

the class they desire to enter, unless from another college.

Students desiring to pursue special branches are permitted to

enter any class for which they are prepared, subject to the direction

of the Faculty in the amount of the study required, which shall

always be equal to that of the regular student.

In all cases a student from another college is required to present

satisfactory testimonials of his moral character and standing in the

college which he last attended.

Prefatory.

It appears only fitting to preface our regular catalogue state-

ments with a few brief remarks as to the present condition and future

prospects of the College. These have not been for thirty years so

prosperous and hopeful. For this our heartfelt thanks are due,

first, to Almighty God, for whose glory and in loyalty to whomthis Institution was founded and has ever been conducted, and,

second, to the alumni, former students, old and new friends of the

College, who, by their sympathy, interest and liberal gifts, under

God, have contributed signally to this enlarged prosperity.

It does seem as though this old, historic College which, during

more than seventy years, has done so much for the Church and

the State, whose sons, throughout the whole country, in every walk

o( life, have illustrated its worth and glory, were entering on a newera of influence and growth. During the year just closing the

number of students has been greater than for a quarter of a century,

while the income has been materially larger and the corps of Pro-

fessors more numerous than ever before. A still further increase

of all these seems assured during the coming year.

Among the many improvements and additions projected we can

positively announce as having been already provided for and

which will be in operation at the beginning of the next session:

ist. Two new departments of instruction, conducted by thor-

oughly qualified Professors, namely, English and Modern Lan-

guages.

2d. A large, handsome gymnasium, with all modern appliances

and equipments, the gift in large part of two of the most dis-

tinguished alumni of the College, Judge A. P. Humphrey and

Hon. St. John Boyle, of Louisville.

3d. A number of free scholarships in the gift of the Faculty,

endowed by generous friends in Kentucky and the East. A com-

plete list of these will be given on another page of the catalogue.

14 THE CENTEE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.

Departments of Instruction,

I. BIBLICAL STUDIES.

Throughout the session each of the classes has one recitation a

week in one or more of the books of the Bible, mainly to Drs.

Young and McKee. In addition to, or probably as a substitute

for the above, a plan is now being perfected by which the Bible in

its entirety shall be made a regular text-book in the College.

The object aimed at will be by one recitation or lecture a week,

all the classes being united, to carry the students in four years

through the whole Bible. It is confidently believed that, not only

from a moral and religious, but also from a literary and historical

point of view, this can and will be made one of the most interest-

ing and profitable branches of study. It will be conducted by the

President and Vice President.

II. HISTORY AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY.

Preside7it Yo?mg.

History.—The entire Senior Class, both in the A. B. and B. Sc.

courses, recites daily during three months. Special courses of

history having been already studied during the three previous years

by this class, the object now sought is to present from a philo-

sophical point of view an outline sketch, as vivid as possible, of

general history. The lessons from the text-book will be supple-

mented with occasional lectures, and essays upon the most impor-

tant epochs and characters will be required of each student.

Moral Philosophy.—This is a required study during the junior

year, and all the members of that class seeking a degree recite

daily to the President until a full course in theoretical and practical

ethics has been completed.

Text-Books: Haven's Moral Philosophy; Freeman's Historical

Series.

THE CENTRE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY. U

III. EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY AND ELOCUTION,

Vice President McKee.

Half of the year the Senior Class has daily recitations in Butler's

Analogy, or its equivalent, with oral lectures in defence of the

Christian religion against the more recent objections of infidels.

Text-book, Butler's Analogy.

This College lias always given special attention to Elocution, with

most gratifying results. All the students are carefully drilled, one

by one, at least twice in the year, speaking either extracts from

the great authors or pieces of their own composition. Besides

these compulsory exercises, the opportunity is given for voluntary

practice as often as the student may desire it. A large proportion,

of the students are in the habit of availing themselves of this priv-

ilege, consequently great proficiency in oratory has been attained

by many of the young men.

IV. METAPHYSICS.

Ex-President Beatty.

These subjects are taught by text-books, with oral discussions

and comments, in order to give the student a knowledge of the

history and present status of the subjects taught.

Text-Books : Haven's Mental Philosophy; Bowen's History.

Political Scienxe.—This course includes Political Economy;International Law; Constitution of the United States; and Modern

History.

Text-Books: Chapin's Wayland's Political Economy; Andrew's

Constitution of the United States; Davis's International Law; and

Freeman's Historical Series.

V. NATURAL SCIENCES.

Professor Fales.

In this Department, the aim is to conduct the studies in such a

manner as to obtain the best results in making them an aid to

mental training, and in obtaining information which will be valua-


ble to the student in any profession. It is believed the work is as

thorough as the time of a college course will allow.

Physics and Astronomy.—The subjects assigned will be taught

by recitations and experimental illustrations;

principles will be

proved and particular matters amplified, as occasion may demand.

Text-Books : Atkinson's Ganot's Physics ; Young's Astronomy.

The Laboratory classes will use such authorities as may be needed.

Chemistry and Mineralogy.—Theoretical and experimental

knowledge will be aimed at by those in the A. B. course. These

subjects will be pursued further by the other students, experimen-

tal and analytical work being required in the Laboratory.

Text Books: Remsen's Chemistry; Appleton's Analytical Chem-

istry; Fresenius' Analytical Chemistry; Brush's Mineralogy. Nu-

merous books of reference are on the shelves of the Laboratory.

Geology.—The general principles will be taught, and their

applications to the history and formation of the earth's structure

brought out;particular attention will be given to the geology of

the Ohio Valley, for illustration in which ample material is at hand

m the work-rooms.

Text-Books'. LeConte's Manual and Text-Book ; a large number

of standard works and monographs on Palaeontology.

Biology. —Such instruction will be given as will enable the

student to understand the connection of this with other branches,

and also to work successfully in his individual studies in the college

or after severing his connection with it.

Text-Books : Holder's Zoology; Sedgwick and Wilson's Biol-

ogy ; Wood's Botany; Ward's Plant Organization.

VI. MATHEMATICS.

Professor Nelson.

It is the purpose to make the course in Mathematics thorough

and practical. This department is well equipped with the best

instruments, embracing the Theodolite, Solar Compass, Sextant,

Surveyor's Compass, etc., and the student is made practically

acquainted with their use in the field in the measurement of heights

and distances, surveying of land, etc. The Mathematical Roomis provided with a spherical blackboard, models of the conic sec-


tions and other figures, and a full supply of drawing instruments

for the blackboard, whereby the student is enabled to make exact

geometrical constructions. Throughout the course exercises not

found in the text-books are given to the student, in order to

develop a spirit of independent investigation. In the Junior year

Mathematics is, in a large degree, elective. The student with a

special aptitude for Mathematics is given the fullest opportunity

and encouragement to cultivate his favorite study. An advanced

course will be arranged for any who may desire to prosecute the

study of this department beyond the limits of the regular curricu-

lum.

man, Sophomore and Junior years, takes in a number of the

representative authors of the several periods of Latin literature.

Elegant written translations of passages in review and translations

at sight are required at specified periods. An acquaintance with

the geography and mythology involved in the passage under con-

sideration is expected at all times. The derivation of words is

IX. ENGLISH.

Professor Epes.

The study of the English Language is on an equal footing with

the study of the Latin and Greek Languages. The same amount

of time is attached to it; the same rigorous method is pursued.

A course of parallel reading is prescribed for each class.

Freshman Year.—Five recitations a week, with weekly written

exercises. In this class English Grammar is reviewed and syntax

is studied by the method of logical analysis of sentences. Theelements of composition are inculcated by careful practice in writ-

ten exercises and compositions. English literature is taught prac-

cally by class and parallel reading of good English authors.

Text-Books : Whitney's Essentials of English Grammar; Lock-

wood's Lessons in English ; Irving, Goldsmith, Addison and Scott.

The studies of this year are directed to the acquisition cf Anglo-

Saxon as an indispensable basis of English Grammar, furnishing

the student a means of tracing the history of his native tongue

from its earliest beginning. Whilst the student is furnished with a

key to the rich and historically invaluable literature of our fore-

fathers, he is at the same time given an opportunity to know the


inner nature, the inherent power, the unique dignity, and the rightto supremacy justly due to his mother tongue.

Text-Books: Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader, with Baskervill'sOutline of Anglo-Saxon Grammar; Morris' Elementary HistoricalGrammar; Ten Brink's Early English Literature; Skeat's Etymo-logical Dictionary; Whitney's Language and the Study of Lan-guage.

Senior Year.—Three recitations a week, with monthly writtenessays.

X. MODERN LANGUAGES.

Professor

In this department special attention is given to the Germananguage. The same rigorous method is kept up as in the Latinmd the Greek. Graded exercises throughout the course. The•ecitations of the college are so arranged that any student canmrsue the study of the German, either to fill out his complement>f studies, or as an extra.

XI. ATHLETICS.

Believing that both for mental and spiritual improvement and

usefulness a sound, well developed body is well nigh indispensable,

the Faculty encourages, within proper limitations, athletic sports

and exercises. The grounds provided for these, just in the rear of

the College buildings, are among the best in the country.

A splendid new gymnasium, the finest and most complete in the

State, is now being erected, and will be opened at the beginning of

the next session. It will be thoroughly equipped with all the

apparatus necessary for a complete physical training. It will be

heated throughout with steam, will be provided with hot and cold

shower baths, and besides the main hall will have a large and

attractive reading room. For this most valuable addition we are

indebted mainly to the liberality of Judge A. P. Humphrey and

Hon. St. John Boyle, of Louisville. A well qualified superintendent

will be placed in charge of the building, and will direct the exercise

of the students. A gymnastic contest for prizes will be held during

the year.

Donations and Scholarships,

The $100,000 added to the endowment during the past few years

represents a large number of donors, and embraces alike the self-

sacrificing gifts of the poor and the munificent contributions of the

rich. The great number of these generous helpers precludes the

publication of their names, but to one and all, in the name of the

Synod of Kentucky, the Board of Trustees and the Faculty of

Centre College, we desire to express our heart-felt thanks. Grate-

ful acknowledgments are also due to the ladies of many of our

churches for costly gifts made to our College Home.A list of the scholarships, both permanent and annual, given

during the past year, all at the disposal of the Faculty, is as fol-

lows :

-26 THE CENTRE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.

General Information,

Public Worship.

Prayers are held in the chapel every morning, with reading of

the Scriptures, and all students are required to be present. They

are also expected to attend the public preaching of the Gospel at

least once on each Sabbath.

Young Men's Christian Association.

This society seeks to bring students under good influences, and

furnishes opportunities for Christian work in the College and its

vicinity. It has been in active operation for several years. Special

efforts are made to bring new students under its wholesome influ-

ences. The society has been provided with a neatly furnished hall,

where it meets statedly for prayer, social intercourse, etc.

Examinations.

There are two public examinations of all classes, one in the mid-

dle of the college year, and the other at the close, held before a

committee of the Synod, and conducted by each professor in his

« own department. The final examinations of the Graduating Class

• close on the fourth Friday in May. Special examinations occur

• during the year.

Reports.

Reports of the student's scholarship, attendance and deportment

•are made to the parents or guardian at the close of each term of

five months. Special reports are made at shorter intervals if there

>is anything in the student's conduct or standing which requires

them.Rank in Scholarship.

The rank in scholarship of the Graduating Class of each year

'will be indicated in the Commencement programme as follows:

'First-class scholars will be assigned an Oration having some prefix

;

Second-class, an Oration; Third-class, a Dissertation; Fourth-

« class, a Disquisition ; Fifth-class, an Essay.


Preparatory Department.

This school has been organized by the Board of Trustees of

Centre College. It is now placed under the exclusive management

of the Principal ; and, as it is financially separate from the college,

every student is required to pay tuition in this department. As the

Sub-Freshman class is taught in this depaitment and is a part of it,

the members of this class, as well as other preparatory students,

will pay tuition to the Principal—as per schedule below.

While the course of instruction is especially adapted to prepare

young men for the Freshman class, it is intended, at the same

time, to furnish a liberal English education to any who may de-

sire it.

Tuition in the Preparatory Department for session of five months

is: Classical Department, $22.50; English Department, $20; Pri-

mary Department, $15. No contingent fee is charged. Sons of

ministers and candidates for the ministry received at one-half the

foregoing rates. Payment in advance required in all cases.

Preparation for College.

The Faculty of the College, prompted by their experience in

preliminary examinations, would most earnestly call the attention

of teachers preparing students for college to the importance of

accuracy and thoroughness in the elements of education, especially

in orthography and composition, in English grammar and arith-

metic, and in the forms of the classical languages. Students whoare thoroughly prepared in these can do well from the first, and

their progress is rapid and satisfactory ; but inadequate preparation

in the elements renders the future course of the student difficult,

and causes it to end in disheartening failure. The stress of the

preliminary examination will be laid upon accuracy in elementary

knowledge.Late Entrance.

All students should present themselves punctually at the open-

ing of the session in September. Many disadvantages to the

student result from late entrance, and in some instances it has been

found impossible for a student entering late to maintain his stand-

ing in his class. Prompt attendance is therefore earnestly enjoined


upon all who wish to derive the full benefits of the course of in-

struction.

Expenses.

Tuition and Other Fees.—Tuition, in addition to a contingent

fee of $5, is $50 per annum, payable semi-annually strictly in

advance.

A number of scholarships in the gift of the Faculty have been

recently endowed by liberal friends of the College, and through

these the Institution is enabled to offer to sons of ministers of the

gospel of every denomination and to all other young men of

extremely limited means and good character free tuition. Thus no

one will be excluded because unable to pay the ordinary charge for

instruction, but will be welcome to all the privileges of the College

without incurring pecuniary obligation. The question of future

compensation will be optional with each one.

The contingent fee of $5 annually for janitor's hire, fuel in col-

lege rooms, etc. , is required of all.

Boarding.—The students board and lodge in private families,

in which they enjoy the advantages of Christian society, and are

thus preserved from many temptations. No fixed rate can be

stated for the cost of living, as this varies with the price of pro-

visions, fuel, etc. During the current year the prevailing rates for

board, including fuel and lights, were from $3.50 to $5 per week.

College Home.

For many years cheap living for her students has been felt to be

one of the most pressing wants of our college. To secure this end,

very comfortable rooms, sufficient to accommodate forty young

men, have been fitted up in the old college building. These rooms,

comfortably furnished with stove, chairs, beds, table and wash-

stand, are given, free of charge for rent, to applicants of good

character and limited means.

To those who have taken their meals at the "Home," boarding

has been furnished at the cost of materials and their preparation,

which for the present term has amounted to $2.75 per week;

washing $1 per month additional.

The College Home is open as well to the students in the Pre-


paratory Department as to those In the higher classes. But as

the teachers in the Preparatory Department derive their salaries

entirely from tuition fees, all the students in this department,

whether living in the Home or in private families, are expected to

pay the regular charges for tuition as stated elsewhere.

During the year just closing every room in the '' Home " has been

occupied, and, in view of the applications already received for the

coming fall session, additional accommodations are imperatively

demanded. To meet this demand, arrangements are now being

made for the erection, on the College grounds, of a large Student's

Hall, with all modern improvements. Those desiring to avail them-

selves of this opportunity for a cheap education should apply as

early as possible to the President or Vice President of the College,

from whom full information can be obtained. Preference will be

given to those who may desire to pursue a full course of study and

who really need the help thus furnished.

College Library.

The College Library is in Sayre Hall, a building provided by

the late David A. Sayre, of Lexington. The library consists of

about 6,000 volumes, to which considerable annual additions are

made. Donations of books or money to the library are solicited

from the friends of the college. They will be gratefully received

and duly acknowledged.

The Burchard Alcove.

Rev. Samuel D. Burchard, D. D., of New York, class of '37,

generously gave a large portion of his library to his Alma Mater

during the year. The volumes have been labeled with the name of

the donor and placed in an alcove of the College Library.

Museum.

The museum is well supplied with material for illustration in all

branches of the college course. The typical minerals are system-

atically arranged, so that one can see by a glance at the label

where each belongs in its relations to others ; the various ores are

convenient for study, and duplicates are provided for critical exam-

ination.


In palaeontology, fossils typical of all the epochs are on the

shelves and stored in the work-room for personal inspection. Therarer forms, such as Ichthyosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Pterodactylus,

Dinosaurus, Glyptodon and Megatherium are represented byWard's casts, supplied through the liberality of Dr. John W.Scott, of Lexington.

In zoology, the cases hold land, fresh-water and marine shells

from all parts of the world, and considerable progress has been

made in collecting specimens in other branches of this study.

In botany, the nucleus of an herbarium has been formed and

plants are being added yearly by exchange and local research.

Literary Societies.

There are two literary societies connected with the College—the

Chamberlain and the Deinologian. Commodious halls in the Col-

lege building are provided for them, which have been handsomely

fitted up and furnished by the members. Both societies are sup-

plied with good libraries, containing about 3,500 volumes, which

are receiving additions from year to year. These societies are

regarded as supplemental in their work to the College course, and

are encouraged accordingly. Their exercises consist in debate,

elocution, composition, and other wholesome mental and social

work, under such rules and regulations as the societies may sever-

ally adopt, consistent with the general objects of the College.

Oratorical Exercises.

The Literary Societies hold public exercises on the Twenty-

second of February ; and on Monday preceding CommencementDay, an Oratorical contest takes place between representatives ot

these societies. To the two successful competitors, gold medals

are awarded: First Medal to the best oration, and Second Medal to

the second best.

Honorary Degrees.

In addition to the degrees A. B. and B. Sc, the following are

given : The degree of A. M. in course will be conferred upon any

graduate of the Institution of three years' standing, who shall have

sustained a good moral character and who shall have pursued, dur-

ing the interval, a course of professional or literary studies, and


who shall make application for the degree at least one day before

Commencement.The honorary degree of A. M. may be conferred at the pleasure

of the Board of Trustees upon such young men as may have pur-

sued, at this Institution or elsewhere, such a course of liberal study

as would entitle them to this honor.

The degree of D. D., or other honorary degrees, may be con-

ferred by the Trustees upon such persons as they may deem worthy.

.

Alumni Association.

The Alumni Association was organized in its present form June

26, 1S51, with Prof. W. M. Scott, President; Revs. A. A. Rogue,

'37, John Montgomery, '35, and John A. Bogle, '43, Vice Presi-

dents; and Prof. O. Beatty, '35, Secretary. The Association

arranges for an address on the Tuesday evening preceding Com-mencement.

Officers.—O. Beatty, LL. D., President; W. J. Lyle,* First Vice

President and Treasurer; G. W. Welsh, Jr., Second Vice Presi-

dent; J. W. Yerkes, Corresponding Secretary; J. A. Cheek, Re-cording Secretary.

A fund of about £1,000 is held by the Association, the proceeds

of which are devoted to defraying the expenses of an occasional

banquet to the Alumni on Commencement Day.

The Association will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday even-

ing, June 17, 1890, at eight o'clock, at which Judge Thomas Z.

Morrow will deliver the address.

Endowment.

The funds of the institution, under the careful management of

the Trustees, and through the liberality of the friends of the college,

have steadily increased, until the endowment has assured the per-

manent success of the school. The constant accessions it is receiving

enable the College to increase continually its facilities for instruc-

tion. But whilst the amount of this endowment, especially whentaken in connection with its past history, is a sufficient guarantee

of the permanency of this institution, still this fund needs to be

largely increased to enable Centre College to keep abreast with the

-Deceased.

•32 THE CENTRE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY.

great institutions—rich and well endowed—that are springing up

all over the land. There is no better place where a man can put

his money to insure a perpetual return of good accomplished by it,

than in a well-endowed Christian College. At Harvard, of all the

original buildings, not one stone lies upon another. The material

structures have all crumbled to dust and disappeared. But the

•original gift of $5,000 of its founder, whose name it bears, is still

preserved and yields its annual revenue.

Progress and Enlargement.

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees in June, 1888, a resolu-

tion was adopted ordering that an earnest effort be made in Ken-

tucky and the East to raise $100,000, as an addition to the perma-

nent endowment. In connection with this general work an appeal

was made to the old students to contribute $30,000, to be used as

an endowment for a new Professorship of English Literature and

History, to bear the revered name of John C. Young, so long and

honorably connected with the College. The response to these

appeals, both at home and abroad, has been most encouraging.

The $100,000 asked for has been practically secured; the endow-

ment of the John C. Young Chair is making hopeful progress and

..generous contributions from individuals and churches for current

expenses have been received. The large increase of income thus

obtained enables the Board of Trustees to add three new Professors

to the Faculty. Money for a superb Gymnasium, to which refer-

ence is elsewhere made, has also been secured, and the building

will be ready for occupancy by October.

Advantages of Location.

Danville, the seat of the College, is situated on the railroad,

(Cincinnati Southern), extending from Cincinnati to Chattanooga,

and near the Lebanon and Knoxville Branch of the Louisville and

Nashville Railroad, and is accessible from all quarters. Danville

Is very near the geographical center of the State, located within

the "Blue Grass" region, and surrounded by an exceedingly beau-

tiful and fertile country. It has an elevation of about 1,000 feet

above the sea level, and the surrounding country is undulating so

.as to give perfect drainage. No healthier spot, we believe, can be


found within the limits of our State. Malaria is unknown unless

brought in from other sections of the country. It is a small city

of about 4,000 inhabitants, and is noted for its high moral tone,

and for the refinement and intelligence of its people. It is an ed-

ucational center, both for male and female schools. Students whocome to this place from abroad can find, if they desire it, access to

the most intelligent and cultivated families of the place. Weknow of no place that affords superior advantages in this respect.

Few students come to Danville, who do not find homes here for

which they form the strongest attachments, and from which they

part with reluctance when they leave. It is a town of churches,

of all denominations, and the people are a church-going people.

There are in the town no licensed saloons for the sale of intoxicat-

ing liquors. They were all closed in the town some years since

by the Trustees, under instruction of a decided vote of the people,

and a special act of the Legislature makes it unlawful to retail

liquor within two miles of the town limits.

Corporate Name.

The corporate name of this institution is, "The Trustees of the

Centre College of Kentucky." Inasmuch as bequests to educa-

tional and other institutions are not infrequently diverted from their

object through a mistake in the corporate name, we deem it advis-

able to give the following

Form of Bequest.

Igive and bequeath to The Trustees of the Centre College of

Kentucky, a corporation chartered by the State of Kentucky and

located at Danville, in State aforesaid, and to its successors forever,

the following [here describe the thing or property given].

If the donor or testator desires that the money, stock or prop-

erty shall be devoted to a particular Professorship, Department*

Sholarship, or Medal, etc., he will, after describing the property

or thing given—as indicated above—add the following

:

To be held in trust, and used by said Centre College, under the

control and direction of the Board of Trustees thereof, for [here de-

scribe the particular use desired to be made of the fund, or its

annual interest].


Sketch of the College,

Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky in

1819. Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, D^ D., first President, went into

office in 1823. In 1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an

arrangement with the Presbyterian 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 ap-

pointed by that 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

Blackburn, D. D., succeeded him in 1828, the office having, in

the meantime, been temporarily filled by the Rev. David C.

Proctor. On the resignation of Dr. Blackburn in 1830, Rev. John

C. Young, D. D., was elected. Dr. Young died in office June 23rd,

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. Dr. Green died in office May 26th, 1863, an<3 on the

1 6th of October following, Rev. Wm. L. Breckinridge, D. D., was

elected President. He accepted the 29th of the same month, and

immediately entered upon the duties of his office. These he con-

tinued to discharged until his resignation, which occurred October

16, 1868. Prof. O. Beatty, LL. D., at that time Vice-President, was

requested to discharge the duties of President until a successor to

Dr. Breckinridge should be appointed. He continued to act in

this capacity until the Board of Trustees elected him President,

September 1st, 1870. But by the laws of the Institution a perma-

nent instructor could not be appointed by less than a two-thirds

vote of the entire Board ; and less than this number were present

at the meeting at which he was elected President. His election

was unanimously confirmed on June 24th, 1S72. He had been

discharging the duties of his office since the resignation of his pre-


decessor. Dr. Beatty tendered his resignation of the office of

President to the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in Dan-

ville, June 15, 1886. But as the Board failed to secure a successor

at this meeting, it requested Dr. B. to withdraw his resignation for

the time. The tender was renewed to the Board, which met, at

the call of the Chairman, in Lexington, November 30, 1886, and

was accepted, "to take effect upon the qualification of his suc-

cessor." Unsuccessful efforts were made to secure a President,

until Rev. W. C. Young, D. D., the son of the distinguished

former President, Dr. John C. Young, was unanimously elected,

June 19, 1888, and Dr. B. was formally released from his official

duties. Dr. Young promptly accepted the office, and entered upon

his duties at the opening of the next term, September 5, 1888.

Centre College is thus shown to be one of the oldest institutions

of learning in Kentucky, or in the South or West, having sent out

its first graduating class in 1824. It has been prosecuting its work

successfully, and without interruption, from that day to this. Not

a year has passed that it has not sent its graduates into the field.

The last Triennial Catalogue shows the entire number of its

Alumni to the present time to be nearly 1,000. Among these are

more than 300 lawyers, nearly 200 ministers of the Gospel, and 80

physicians, and the remainder are found in various professions and

callings. Among the Alumni are many, both of the living and

the dead, who have greatly distinguished themselves in their re-

spective professions, and have attained the highest positions of

honor and trust, especially throughout the South and West, where

they chiefly reside, or where they did reside while they lived.

Centre College has educated 17 College Presidents, 41 College

Professors, 14 Representatives in Congress, 4 U. S. Senators, 5

Governors of States, 1 Vice-President of the U. S., 1 Justice of

the U. S. Supreme Court, 24 Circuit Judges, State and National,

37 Editors, etc. No institution in Kentucky sends out year byyear a larger class of graduates.


Abstract of College Laws,

i. Every student is expected to attend the daily devotional

exercises in the College Chapel; also, public worship at some

church at least once on the Lord's Day.

2. Every student shall attend all his recitations regularly and

punctually.

3. No student shall be permitted to leave the town during term-

time, without previous permission from the President.

4. No student shall attend any exhibition of an immoral ten-

dency, or frequent any bar-room or tippling-house. Intoxication

will lead to prompt dismission.

5. No student shall be permitted to enter upon the grounds or

premises of other persons, so as to molest or injure, or to associate

with idle or vicious company, or to engage in frolics of a noisy,

disorderly, or immoral nature.

6. Damage done to any part of the college property shall be

repaired by the offender.

7. No student shall carry about him deadly weapons on pain

of immediate dismission.

8. No student shall absent himself from the examination of any

class to which he belongs, unless he be previously excused.

9. As the sole aim of the Trustees in framing the laws and

regulations, as well as of the Faculty in administering them, is to

secure the best interests of the young gentlemen connected with the

institution, it is confidently expected that every student will yield

a cheerful obedience to all the requirements of the college. The

government of the College will be mild, granting to each student

all privileges and enjoyment consistent with his own welfare and

that of his associates ; at the same time it will be firm, enforcing

obedience to all the restraints and requisitions which the Trustees

or Faculty, from a regard to the general good, shall see it their

duty to enjoin. The reformation of the offender will be strictly

aimed at as far as practicable, and no severe or disgraceful penalty

will be inflicted, except when the paramount interests of the insti-

tution demand it.
