CONSERI/ATORY   OF    MUSIC. 


This  School  is  established  for  the  purpose  of  affording  supe- 
rior advantages  for  pursuing  the  study  of  music  in  all  of  its 
higher  branches. 

The  general  plan  of  the  school  is  similar  to  that  of  the  best 
European  Conservatories,  and  aims  at  the  production  of  intelli- 
gent musicians  of  liberal  culture  in  the  various  departments  of 
musical   activity. 

As  the  course  of  study  laid  down  in  Colleges  and  Seminaries 
of  learning  is  not  intended  to  give  a  knowledge  of  any  single 
branch,  but  by  combining  the  study  of  Language,  Mathematics, 
Natural  Science,  Metaphysics,  etc.,  to  secure  to  the  student  such 
an  intellectual  development  as  will  form  a  substantial  basis  for 
future  attainments,  so  in  the  Conservatory  the  course  has  been 
planned  with  reference  to  securing  that  symmetrical  develop- 
ment of  the  musical  faculties  which  is  essential  in  the  true 
musician,  whether  teacher  or  virtuoso.

Analysis, 

In  addition  to  the  above  course,  one  year's  work  in  Musical 
Analysis  is  required.  This  may  be  done  during  any  year  after 
the  student  has  finished  the  fourth  term  of  Harmony. 

The  object  of  this  study  is  to  train  students  to  think  musically, 
to  become  more  ready  readers,  and  to  follow  more  intelligently 
the  great  masterpieces  when  listening  to  their  performance. 
With  this  end  in  view,  the  piano  is  used  during  the  lessons  so 
that  the  students  may  learn  to  analyze  the  different  movements, 
to  distinguish  the  character  of  the  different  chords,  etc.,  through 
the  sense  of  hearing  as  well  as  through  the  eye. 

The  course  embraces  the  following  lectures  and  exercises : 

I.  How  we  Hear  —  from  Helmholtz's  "On  the  Sensations  of 
Tone  as  a  Physiological  Basis  for  the  Theory  of  Music." 

H.  Motives  —  Written  exercises  and  analysis  of  Bach's  two 
and  three  voiced   Inventions. 

III.  Phrases  and  Periods,  Cadences,  Accent,  and  Rhythm. 
Writing  of  phrases  and  periods,  and  analysis  of  works  of  com- 
posers since  Bach.

IV.  Key  Relationship  and  Modulation.  Study  of  the  charac- 
ter of  various  chords,  and  exercises  in  distinguishing  chord 
connection  by  ear. 

V.  The  smaller  Forms  of  Instrumental  Music.  Analysis  of 
movements  from  Beethoven's  sonatas. 

VI.  Thematic  Development  and  Motive  Transformation,  with 
written  exercises. 

VII.  The  Sonata  Form  —  Analysis  of  Beethoven's  sonatas. 

VIII.  The  Fugue  —  Analysis  of  fugues  from  Bach's  well- 
tempered  clavichord. 

IX.  The  Classical  and  Romantic  Schools,  with  illustrations 
from  the  works  of  several  composers  of  each  school.

History. 

The  course  comprises  the  history  of  modern  music  from  the 
beginning  of  the  Christian  era  to  the  present  time,  and  consists 
of  lectures,  text-book  work,  and  essays  by  members  of  the  class, 
with  illustrations  and  musical  examples.  The  class  is  open  to 
all  conservatory  students. 


O BERLIN  CONSERVATORY  OF  MUSIC.  7 

TianO'forte. 

In  this  department  especial  attention  is  paid  to  the  develop- 
ment of  a  musical  touch,  and  a  refined  and  intelligent  school  of 
playing. 

The  course  of  study  includes  : 

I.  Technical  exercises,  which  are  intended  to  give  control 
over  the  muscles  of  the  fingers,  hands,  and  arms,  making  them 
readily  responsive  to  the  commands  of  the  will. 

II.  Etudes  by  the  best  teachers  and  composers,  which  are 
designed  to  give  further  development  to  the  executive  powers, 
to  bring  about  a  finer  relation  between  the  physical  and  intel- 
lectual faculties  and  to  form  a  connecting  link  between  purely 
technical  work  and  the  higher  forms  of  musical  expression. 

III.  Compositions  of  sterling  merit  by  the  best  writers,  both 
ancient  and  modern,  ensemble  playing,  etc.,  for  aesthetic  de- 
velopment. 

The  instruction  is  always  individual,  the  effort  on  the  part  of 
the  teacher  being  to  adapt  the  work  to  the  personal  needs  of  each 
student.  It  will  readily  be  seen  that  with  so  large  a  number  of 
students,  recourse  must  necessarily  be  had  to  a  great  variety  of 
compositions,  a  list  of  which  it  would  be  impossible  to  insert 
here. 

Piano  practice  can  be  secured  in  Warner  Hall,  but  those  who 
wish  to  have  a  piano-forte  in  their  room  will  generally  find  no 
difficulty  in  renting  one  in  the  place. 


Ensemble  Playing. 

It  is  very  desirable  that  pianists  be  able  to  play  well  with 
other  instruments  in  concerted  music.  In  order  that  advanced 
pupils  may  have  the  necessary  drill  in  this,  the  teachers  of  the 
stringed  instruments  spend  an  hour  or  more  each  day  in  playing 
with  them  in  duos,  trios,  etc.  Special  attention  is  given  to 
securing  steadiness  in  playing  and  proper  balance  of  parts. 


8  OBERLIN  CONSERVATORY  OF  MUSIC 

Stringed  Instruments. 

No  instrument  is  so  well  adapted  to  the  expression  of  every 
shade  of  musical  feeling  as  the  violin,  viola,  or  violoncello.  This 
requires  a  pure,  free,  and  full  tone,  to  obtain  which  the  instruction 
aims,  first,  to  secure  the  proper  use  of  the  bow-arm,  and,  second, 
strength  and  facility  in  the  use  of  the  fingers.  The  instruction 
is  necessarily  individual  and  is  based  upon  the  best  schools  for 
these  instruments,  together  with  etudes,  solo  pieces,  and  con- 
certos by  the  best  writers.  Abundant  opportunity  is  given  for 
ensemble  playing  in  string  quartets,  duos,  trios,  etc.,  with 
piano,  ranging  from  simple  compositions  to  the  master  works  of 
the  classical  and  modern  schools,  thus  laying  the  foundation  for 
a  broad,  intelligent  style. 

Advanced  students  have  the  further  advantage  of  the  study 
of  orchestral  music,  and  practice  with  the  teachers  in  string 
quartets,  etc. 


KLEVATOR    AND     LECT  D  RE-KOOM. 


Voice. 

True  cultivation  of  the  voice  consists  in  the  development  of 
pure  tone,  and  its  easy,  natural  use  and  control  in  singing.  Cor- 
rect use  of  the  breath,  intonation,  attack,  legato,  accent,  phrasing, 
and  pronunciation  are  the  leading  features  of  technical  drill. 


of^E/^/jx  co.vs/iA'i'.rroA')-  of  music.  9 

Neither  the  so-called  method  of  the  Italians  nor  that  of  the 
Germans  is  used  exclusively  ;  but  by  the  adoption  of  what  are 
beheved  to  be  the  best  features  of  all  methods,  as  well  as  by 
the  use  of  a  discriminating  judgment  as  to  any  peculiar  needs 
of  the  particular  voice  under  treatment,  we  endeavor  to  carry 
forward  the  formation  and  development  of  the  singing  voice. 

At  the  same  time,  a  higher  ideal  than  the  perfection  of  mere 
mechanical  skill  is  aimed  at,  viz.  :  a  musicianly  style  of  sing- 
ing, and  all  that  is  implied  in  the  broad  term  "  interpretation," 
together  with  a  thorough  appreciation  of  the  best  works  of  the 
great  masters  both  new  and  old. 

Thus  we  hope  to  prepare  our  pupils  for  successful  teaching, 
for  positions  in  church  choirs  and  for  the  concert  stage,  and 
through  them  to  advance  the  cause  of  artistic  singing. 

Organ. 

We  give  special  prominence  to  the  department  of  organ 
instruction.  Aside  from  the  high  position  which  the  organ 
holds  as  a  means  of  musical  culture,  there  is  a  great  and 
growing  need  of  well-trained  organists  for  the  churches  of  our 
country,  while  the  opportunities  for  competent  instruction  are 
confessedly  inadequate.  We  believe,  therefore,  that  we  are  jus- 
tified in  the  efforts  we  are  putting  forth  to  provide  the  facilities 
necessary  to  enable  young  persons  of  talent  to  fully  prepare 
themselves  for  the  responsible  work  to  which  a  church  organist 
is  called. 

The  plan  of  work  provides  for  thorough  training  in  all  that 
pertains  to  a  mastery  of  the  organ  for  church  or  concert  use, 
including  special  exercises  in  playing  Church  Music,  Voluntaries, 
and  the  Art  of  Improvisation,  Systematic  Drill  in  Technics, 
Registration,  and  the  Art  of  Accompaniment.  The  course  of 
study  has  also  been  arranged  with  special  reference  to  giving  a 
knowledge  of  the  different  schools  of  organ  music  as  represented 
by  the  best  composers  in  each. 

The  Conservatory  has  the  exclusive  use  of  a  large  and  excep- 
tionally fine  concert  organ  which  contains  three  manuals,  forty

stops,  two  and  a  half  octaves  of  pedals,  and  eleven  combination 
pedals. 

This  organ  has  been  pronounced  by  competent  judges  to  be 
one  of  the  finest  concert  organs  for  its  size  in  the  United  States, 
and  this,  in  addition  to  the  already  excellent  advantages  afforded 


CONSERVATORY    ORGAN. 


to  students  in  this  branch  of  study,  places  the  department  in  a 
position  superior  to  that  of  any  other  school  in  this  country. 

Organ  students  will  do  most  of  their  practice  on  pedal  organs 
and  pedal  pianos  (with  which  the  school  is  well  supplied),  and 
will  in  addition  be  allowed    the  use  of  the  Conservatory  organ

and  the  largo  organ  in  the  Second  Churcli  for  the  study  of  regis- 
tration and  preparation  for  pubHc  performance. 

Wind  Instnimenls. 

The  instruments  taught  in  this  department  are  the  Cornet, 
French  Horn,  Clarinet,  Flute,  and  Oboe.  Practice  in  ensemble 
playing  is  an  important  part  of  the  instruction  given. 

Diplomas. 

Diplomas  are  awarded  by  the  Trustees  of  the  College  to 
students  who  have  a  good  English  education  and  have  given 
satisfactory  evidence  to  the  Conservatory  Faculty  of  the  requisite 
attainments  in  Harmony  and  Composition,  and  at  least  two 
other  branches. 

The  time  necessary  for  making  these  attainments  cannot  be 
definitely  stated,  depending  as  it  does  upon  the  previous  acquire- 
ments of  the  student  and  upon  his  talent  and  diligence. 

Enough  time,  however,  is  required  to  give  him  a  thorough 
understanding  of  the  branches  pursued  and  a  high  degree  of 
executive  ability  in  them.  Very  few  are  able  to  do  this  in  less 
than  four  years.

GENERAL    INFORMATION. 


Warner  Hall 


This  splendid  stone  building,  the  munificent  gift  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Lucien  C.  Warner,  of  New- York  City,  is  one  of  the  finest 
structures  ever  erected  exclusively  for  the  use  of  a  School  of 
Music.  It  has  a  frontage  of  150  feet  on  North  Professor  street 
and  a  depth  of  120  feet,  and  contains  a  fine  Concert  Hall,  a  Lec- 
ture-room, Orchestra-room,  Library,  Offices,  thirteen  Lesson- 
rooms,  and  forty  Practice-rooms.  It  is  heated  throughout  with 
steam,  and  is  supplied  with  a  fine  passenger  elevator. 

The  rooms  are  also  supplied  with  self-winding  clocks,  all  of 
whfch  are  connected  by  means  of  electricity  with  a  central  regu- 
lator which  is  placed  in  the  main  vestibule  of  the  hall  and  regu- 
lates the  entire  circuit.  This  system  of  time  service  is  the  gift 
of  Mr.  Chester  H.  Pond,  of  New-York  City,  and  is  believed  to 
be  the  most  perfect  in  its  working  of  anything  of  the  kind  that 
has  yet  been  invented,

Regulations. 

Students  are  under  the  regular  College  discipline.  The  regu- 
lations are  few  and  simple,  appealing  to  the  student's  self-respect 
and  personal  responsibility. 

Students  are  required  to  abstain  from  the  use  of  tobacco  and 
intoxicating  drinks. 

No  student  is  allowed  to  visit  one  of  the  other  sex  at  a  private 
room,  except  by  special  permission  in  case  of  severe  sickness. 


director's  office. 


Students  are  required  to  attend  daily  prayers,  in  the  evening 
at  the  Chapel,  and  in  the  morning  in  the  families  in  which  they 
board. 

Students  must  register  their  names  and  pay  their  tuition 
before  their  lessons  are  assigned. 

Oftly  in  case  of  severe  illness  of  several  weeks  dnratioii  can  any 
deduction  be  made  for  absence  from  lessons.  In  such  cases  the  Con- 
servatory will  share  the  loss  equally  with  the  student. 

No  student  is  allowed  to  take  part  in  any  public  musical 
exercises  without  permission  from  the  Director. 


14  OBERLIN  CONSERVATORY  OF  MUSIC. 

No   student  is   allowed   to   engage   in   teaching   or  receiving 
instruction  in  music  outside  of  the  Conservatory. 

Students  should  bring  testimonials  of  good   moral  character. 


Class  and  Private  Instruction. 

In  all  departments  of  the  Conservatory,  except  in  that  of 
Harmony  and  Theory,  students  receive  either  class  or  private 
instruction,  as  they  may  elect. 

In  Class  Instruction,  three  students  are  assigned  to  the 
same  hour.  Each  student,  however,  receives  more  than  twenty 
minutes  of  instruction.  He  has  that  amount  of  personal  super- 
vision, but  in  addition  he  receives  all  of  the  criticisms  and  sug- 
gestions made  by  the  teacher  to  each  of  his  classmates,  which  he 
will  generally  find  quite  as  valuable  as  those  made  to  himself. 
The  instruction  in  the  case  of  each  student  is  personal,  and  aims 
to  meet  his  individual  needs,  and  while  the  class  may  or  may  not 
be  studying  the  same  composition,  the  suggestions  and  principles 
developed  are  applicable  to  all. 

In  Private  Instruction  only  two  persons  are  assigned  to 
the  same  hour.  Advanced  students,  and  those  who  are  giving 
special  attention  to  any  particular  department  of  study,  are 
recommended  to  take  Private  Instruction,  as  they  in  this  manner 
have  more  time  individually  with  the  teacher,  and  at  the  same 
time  they  gain  most  of  the  advantages  of  class  lessons.  The 
difference  in  cost  is  in  proportion  to  the  difference  in  the  amount 
of  personal  supervision  in  each  case. 


Free  Privileges. 

The  following  exercises  are  free  to  all  members  of  the  Con- 
serv^atory : 

1.  Choral  Class,  meeting  four  times  each  week. 

2.  A  course  of  lectures  upon  Art,  delivered  by  members  of  the 
College  Faculty  before  the  Senior  Class  during  the  spring  term. 

3.  Weekly    rehearsals,   and    recitals    given    by    teachers    and 
students. 


OHERLIM  COXSEKIAJVRY  OI-   MUSIC.  15 

4.  Lectures   upon  Musical   Form,  a  class  in  Musical  History, 
and  Analysis  of  musical  works,  by  Mr.  C.  P.  Doolittle. 

5.  Lectures  on  Acoustics  and  Vocal  Physiology  by  Professor 
Chamberlain. 

6.  The  College   Library,  numbering  20,000  volumes,  is  open 
to  the  use  of  all  Conservatory  students,  without  extra  charge. 


Students    Rehearsals. 

One  of  the  most  important  incidental  advantages  of  the  Con- 
servatory is  the  Weekly  Rehearsal,  at  which  students  perform 
such  pieces  as  may  be  assigned  by  their  teachers,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  giving  them  self-control  and  ease  in  public  appearance. 
In  the  rehearsals  of  last  year,  there  were  performed,  in  all,  nearly 
one  thousand  works  or  movements,  consisting  of  Solo  pieces  and 
Concertos  for  various  instruments,  Duos,  Trios,  and  Quartets  for 
Piano  and  Strings,  Arias,  Songs,  Duets,  Trios,  and  Part  Songs. 


Artists'  Recitals. 

Owing  to  the  location  of  Oberlin  on  a  main  line  of  travel,  and 
the  large  patronage  bestowed  upon  first-class  entertainments,  we 
are  able  for  a  very  small  sum  to  secure  to  our  students  oppor- 
tunities of  hearing  many  of  the  great  artists  of  the  country. 

Since  hearing  good  music  artistically  rendered  is  an  indis- 
pensable requisite  in  acquiring  a  thorough  musical  education,  we 
advise  all  students  to  make  their  plans  to  spend  from  one  to  two 
dollars  a  term  for  such  concerts  and  recitals  as  may  from  time  to 
time  be  provided  by  the  Conservatory. 


Church  Music. 

The  facilities  afforded  in  Oberlin  for  studying  the  great  Choral 
Works  give  students  an  opportunity  seldom  enjoyed  for  acquaint- 
ance with  Oratorios  and  other  Sacred  music.  For  practical  cul- 
tivation in  this  department  of  musical  study,  all  students  have 
the  privilege  of  attending  classes  in  Choral  music ;  and  those  who 


16 


OBERLIN  CONSERVATORY  Of  MUSIC. 


are  sufficiently  advanced  can  join  one  of  the  Church  Choirs  and 
the  Musical  Union,  a  society  for  the  study  of  the  higher  forms  of 
sacred  music. 

"T^Ugious  Influences. 

It  has  always  been  the  aim  of  Oberlin  College  so  to  adjust  the 
work  of  the  student  that  intellectual  training  and  religious  culture 
may  go  hand  in  hand. 

In  the  case  of  students  in  music,  there  is  especial  necessity  for 
a  healthy  development  of  the  moral  and  religious  faculties,  since 
the  musical  endowment  is  almost  invariably  associated  with  a 
highly  sensitive  and  susceptible  organization.  Young  people  of 
this  disposition  placed  amid  the  dissipating  influences  of  a  large 


LKSSON     ROOM. 


city,  where  the  restraints  of  responsible  supervision  are  removed, 
or  in  a  European  city,  where  the  modes  of  life  are  so  different 
from  what  they  have  before  known,  readily  go  astray ;  and  even 
if  their  studies  are  not  seriously  disturbed  by  bad  habits,  they 
acquire  their  professional  education  with  undermining  associa- 
tions, which  in  the  end  too  often  prove  fatal  to  its  successful 
exercise. 


OHF.K/./X  COXShhTA/OKV  OF  MCS/C.  17 

True  Christian  manhood  is  the  ideal  we  cherish  for  musicians, 
and  although  we  canned  undertake  to  give  special  religious  train- 
ing in  the  Conservator}-,  }'et  it  is  our  purpose  to  throw  around 
our  students  such  safeguards  as  we  can,  and  to  give  them  such 
moral  assistance  as  it  may  be  in  our  power  to  render. 

Literaty  ^Jldvantages. 

The  connection  of  the  Conservatory  with  an  institution  of 
learning  of  the  acknowledged  superiority  of  Oberlin  College 
affords  unusual  advantages  for  the  pursuit  of  literary  studies  in 
connection  with  music. 

By  special  arrangement,  any  member  of  the  Conservatory 
can  take  a  single  study  in  the  College  for  five  dollars,  which  is 
one-half  the  regular  fee. 

It  is  recommended  that  Conservatory  students,  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, avail  themselves  of  this  privilege,  that  they  may  secure 
symmetry  and  breadth  of  culture  as  well  as  the  ability  to  use 
their  musical  powers  to  better  advantage. 

Physical   Training. 

Gymnasium  practice  is  provided  for  both  young  men  and 
young  women  under  the  direction  of  competent  teachers.  The 
apparatus  includes  chest-weights,  clubs,  horizontal  bars,  floor 
bars,  dumb-bells,  chest  expanders,  and  neck  machines.  This 
work  is  popular,  and  both  gymnasia  are  crowded.  The  expense 
to  Conservatory  students  for  use  of  the  Gymnasium  is  fifty  cents 
per  term. 

Miscellaneous  Items. 

The  lesson  rooms  are  generally  furnished  with  grand  piano- 
fortes. 

A  number  of  Technicons  have  been  placed  in  Warner  Hall  for 
the  use  of  students. 

A  large  and  carefully  selected  Library  of  standard  music, 
numbering  between  eight  and  nine  thousand  pieces,  is  open 
to  students  for  use   in   practice,   from  which  the  teachers  may 

IB

make  selections  adapted  to  the  requirements  of  each  student. 
A  charge  of  $i.oo  to  $3.00  a  term  is  made,  according  to  the 
amount  of  music  required. 

A  lecture  is  given  in  the  College  Chapel,  to  the  students  of  all 
departments,  each  Thursday  afternoon.  These  lectures  discuss  a 
wide  range  of  topics,  and  are  delivered  in  turn  by  the  President 
and  Professors,  and  by  invited  speakers  from  abroad. 

We  have  more  applications  every  year  for  teachers,  organists, 
and  singers  than  we  are  able  to  supply,  and  there  is  scarcely  a 
doubt  that  good  situations  can  be  obtained  for  all  who  are  well 
qualified  to  fill  them. 

Students  of  the  Conservatory  will  take  part  in  the  weekly 
rehearsals,  and  appear  in  the  public  exercises  of  the  College,  as 
they  are  qualified. 

Students  will  find  it  to  their  advantage  to  be  present  at  the 
beginning  of  the  term  ;  although,  when  this  is  impracticable,  they 
will  be  admitted  later  at  a  reasonable  reduction  from  full  rates  of 
tuition.  Students  will  not  be  received  for  a  shorter  time  than  the 
full  term,  or  the  unexpired  portion  of  it. 

Students  can  deposit  their  money  with  the  College  Treasurer 
at  the  opening  of  the  term  and  draw  it  out  afterward,  from  time 
to  time,  in  such  sums  as  may  be  needed.  The  officers  of  the 
College  cannot,  however,  undertake  to  exercise  any  special 
supervision  of  the  individual  expenditures  of  students. 


I/ACATIONS. 


A  vacation  of  one  week  will  occur  between  the  Winter  and 
Spring  terms;  eleven  weeks  between  the  Spring  and  Fall  terms  ; 
two  weeks  between  the  Fall  and  Winter  terms. 

All  Conservatory  exercises  will  be  suspended  on  Fast  Day,

T^oo/ns  and  "Board. 

Rooms  and  table  board  for  young  women  and  table  board  for 
young  men  can  be  had  at  the  College  halls,  which  are  near 
Warner  Hall,  or  in  private  families,  as  preferred.  The  College 
has  no  dormitory  building  for  young  men,  but  they  find  ample 
and  pleasant  accommodations  in  private  houses. 


Talcoft  Hall  and  Baldwin  Cottage. 

The  Ladies'  Hall,  which  was  destroyed  by  fire,  in  January, 
1885,  has  been  replaced  by  two  new  buildings,  Baldwin  Cottage, 
the  gift  of  Mr.  E.  I.  Baldwin,  of  Cleveland,  and  Talcott  Hall, 
named  after  its  principal  donors,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Talcott,  of 
New- York  City.  These  have  been  planned,  after  careful  study 
of  similar  buildings  elsewhere,  and  are  unsurpassed  for  comfort, 
taste  or  convenience.  They  accommodate  about  one  hundred 
young  women,  and  afford  table  board  for  a  number  of  young 
men  who  room  elsewhere. 

The  Principal  and  Assistant  Principal  make  their  homes  in 
these  buildings.  Some  rooms  are  intended  for  a  single  occu- 
pant, and  others  for  two.  Each  has  a  large  closet,  and  is  fur- 
nished and  warmed. 

Room  rent  in  Baldwin  Cottage  and  Talcott  Hall,  varies  accord- 
ing to  location  and  size  of  room,  from, $^.00  to  $15.00  per  term, 
for  each  occupant.  This  includes  lights,  the  privileges  of  the 
house,  and  the  care  of  an  excellent  nurse  in  any  ordinary  sick- 
ness.     F'uel  will  be  charged  according  to  actual  cost. 


22  O BERLIN  CONSERVATORY  OF  MUSIC. 

Room  rent  is  payable  each  term  in  advance,  and  table  board 
each  half-term  in  advance,  to  the  Superintendent  of  the  Hall. 

Any  one  leaving  before  the  end  of  the  term  will  not  be  entitled 
to  a  return  of  any  part  of  the  money  paid  for  room  rent. 

Application  for  admission  to  these  buildings  should  be  made 
to  the  Principal  of  the  Ladies'  Department. 

Young  women  purposing  to  live  in  private  families  are  expected 
to  consult  the  Principal  before  engaging  their  boarding  places. 

Young  women  are  not  allowed  to  board  themselves  except  in 
special  cases,  for  which  arrangements  must  be  made  with  the 
Principal  beforehand. 

Living  expenses  vary  somewhat  with  the  cost  of  provisions. 
Students  who  are  willing  to  live  plainly  can  live  at  as  low  cost, 
and  as  well  for  the  money,  as  at  any  other  college. 

At  present,  table  board  is  $3.00  per  week  in  Baldwin  Cottage, 
and  $2.65  at  Talcott  Hall.  In  private  families  table  board  and 
furnished  rooms  range  in  price,  according  to  quality,  from  $3.00 
to  $4.50  per  week ;  fuel  and  lights  extra.  There  is  usually  no 
difficulty  in  securing  board  and  rooms  at  any  time  of  the  year. 

Reduced  Expenses. 

To  meet  the  case  of  students  who  wish  to  bring  their  expenses 
down  to  the  lowest  point  consistent  with  healthful  living  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  for  furnishing  board  and  room  for  young 
women  at  Stewart  Hall,  corner  of  Main  and  Lorain  streets,  for 
$2.00  a  week,  or  for  $1.50  a  week  and  two  hours'  work  a  day. 
Each  room  is  furnished  with  bedstead,  straw  tick,  table,  chairs, 
stove,  and  washstand.  Bedding  and  other  articles  required  for 
furnishing  the  room,  aside  from  those  mentioned,  are  supplied  by 
the  occupant.  The  table  fare  is  of  the  best  quality,  but  plain  — 
dispensing  with  tea  and  coffee  and  expensive  luxuries,  for  the 
sake  of  keeping  the  price  at  the  lowest  rate.  Young  men  are 
furnished  table  board  at  Stewart  Hall  at  $2.00  per  week.  Under 
this  arrangement  it  is  believed  students  are  able  to  live  as  cheaply 
as  they  can  board  themselves,  while  they  escape  the  obvious  dis- 
advantages and  deprivations  of  self-boarding.  By  means  of  it, 
ninety  dollars  can  be  made  to  meet  all  necessary  expenses  for 


OB E KLIN  COXSER]-A'rOKy  OF  Ml' SIC.  ^S 

tuition,   board,   room,  musical  library,  fuel,  lights,   and   washing 
for  twelve  weeks. 

Location   and  Snrronnii/ngs. 

The  College  is  located  at  Oberlin,  Lorain  county,  Ohio,  a 
pleasant  and  healthful  village  of  some  four  thousand  inhabitants, 
thirty-five  miles  west  of  Cleveland.  Situated  on  the  Lake  Shore 
and  Michigan  Southern  Railway,  it  is  easily  accessible  from  all 
parts  of  the  country.  All  passenger  trains  reach  Oberlin  between 
the  hours  of  7  A.  M.  and  9  P.  M.  The  place  was  founded  as  a 
home  for  the  College,  and  the  population  consists  chiefly  of  those 
who  have  been  drawn  there  by  educational  attractions.  This 
gives  it  a  special  atmosphere  of  culture  and  good  order,  while  as 
a  home  for  students  it  is  remarkably  free  from  the  temptations 
and  dangers  often  surrounding  school  life.  There  are  no  drink- 
ing saloons  in  town.  But  those  who  seek  bad  company  will 
find  it  —  or  make  it  —  anywhere,  and  the  College  does  not  offer 
itself  as  a  reformatory  for  young  people  who  are  too  wayward 
for  home  restraints.  Neither  does  it  desire  the  attendance  of  the 
idle  or  listless.  Its  facilities  are  offered  only  to  those  who  wish 
to  give  their  strength  to  study.  The  churches  of  the  place  con- 
sist of  two  Congregational, —  numbering  some  eight  hundred 
members  each, —  two  Methodist,  one  Protestant  Episcopal,  and 
one  Baptist.  Each  student  attends  the  church  of  his  choice, 
but  is  required  to  attend  some  one  church  regularly.
