Interesting Facts About the Opera
tion of Washburn College.


One of the attractions of Topeka.
which is always pointed out to visitors
is the group of buildings known as
Washburn college. But casual visitors,
whose knowledge is obtained by a view
of the exterior, and doubtless some of
the residents of the city, have very
imperfect idea of what the college real
ly is.
First there is the college proper, re-
quiring for admission a course of study
equivalent to that of the Topeka high
school. The studies of the college are
grouped in ten great departments of
knowledge, Philosophy. Physics and
Chemistry, Natural History, Mathe-
MATES. History and Political Econo-
my, English Literature, Latin, Greek,
Modern Languages, Rhetoric and Ora
tory. In the aggregate nearly forty
courses of instruction are given each
year, fifteen of which must be taken
before graduation. Graduates receive
the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bache-
lor of Science, or Bachelor of Letters.
Preparatory to the college is the
academy, with it's course of study
similar to those of the high school, in
which a student may do all or a part
of his college preparatory work. In
the academy sixteen courses of instruc-
ton are provided, ten of which are re-
quired for graduation and for admis-
sion to the college.
Then there is the department or
school of music. with complete courses
in Pianoforte and Vocal Culture. Some
students devote themselves exclusively
to music while others carry on studies
in the classes of the academy or col
1ege, as well. The graduates in music
must take at least the equivalent of the
academy course.
The department of Art, after a years
suspension, is to be reorganized. In
this, as in music, students entire
time may be devoted to the work of the
studio, or he may engage also in
scientific or literary studies.
The board of trustees is composed of
eighteen representative business and
professional men, who employ the
faculty and manage the financial in
terests of the college. The faculty
contains fourteen members, who are
occupied with the work of instruction.
Including the various officers and agents
there are forty persons whose thought
| and services are employed in the ordi-
nary work of this great Topeka col
leRe.
