A GREAT SCHOOL
Remarkable Record of the
a. -<s
Baptist University for
Women.
II You Educate a Girl You Will Not On.
Iy Have an Educated Woman, But
an Educated Family---RaIeigh
as Educational Centre.

I Although the growth of the Baptist
University for Women has been phe-
nomenal it is yet so young that the
general public is not we'll informed as
to the great advantages it offers.
The University is located in the
heart of the city of Raleigh, just be-
tween the Governors Mansion and the
State Capitol. 1t is two blocks from
the State Library and the State Muse
UNI, two and half blocks from che
Olivia Raney Library, while within q
radius of three blocks there are seven
of the principal churches of the city.
The city of Raleigh itself is an edu-
cational centre. The many advantages
student has for acquiring knowledge
not found in books are perhaps great
er here than are found in any Othe"
Southern city.
The meetings of the Legislature
and the meetings of Importance here
bring before the student opportunities
for broad and comprehensive knoWl-
edge of the State and it's affairs. The
equability and healthfulness of the
climate are exceptionally good.
The equipment of the school is not
surpassed by any school for women in
! the Southern States The Main Build
| ing, four stories high, includes the
chapel and dining room, lecture rooms,
| the art studio the laboratories, botn
| for chemistry and for physics, the IL
| brary and living rooms. Fairclotn
| Hall (the munificence of the late Chief
| Justice Faircloth), four stories high.
| mainly for living rooms, contains also
| lecture rooms, the music hall, and IN
| the upper story are two fine halls oc-
| cupied by the literary societies. The
East Building contains, besides living
| rooms, the parlorS and the dining
| rooms of the University Club, in which
young women of limited means may
| avail themselves of the great advant-
ages offered by the University. The
| North and South Cottages are used for
| living rooms only. The whole plant,
| except the two cottages, is heated by
steam from a central station, and is
| lighted by electricity throughout. The
| living rooms are nicely and neatly
| furnished, and the boarding depart
! ment is not surpassed by the best
schools in the land.
The curriculum is more extended
and the standard higher than any
| school for women in the South except
| Randolph Macon. Lynchburg, Va, and
! the Woman's College of Baltimore,
and yet preparatory classes are pro-
| yided for students who must come be-
| fore they are fully prepared to enter
| the college classes.
| There are five distinct schools IN the
| University:
First. The School of Arts. PhilosO-
ply and Science.
| Second. The School of Music.
| Third. The School of Art.
Fourth, The School of Expression.
| Fifth. The School of Business.
The Faculty is composed of seven
| men and seventeen women.
The heads of each department in all
the schools are specially prepared and
fitted for their duties. The University
| is fortunate in having lady resident
| physician of exceptional ability, assist
ed by competent matronS and nurses.
The School of Music has wide re-
| putation and is truly pre-eminent IN
| both the instrumental and vocal de-
partments.
The charges are not high, and 1t
NAV be said without fear of successful
contradiction that no school for women
| i'm the country furnishes so much for
| the charges made as does this school.
l. If YOU educate a boy you Will have
| an educated man.
| II you educate a girl you will not
| only have an educated woman, but an
educated family.
If you have a daughter or a ward
| to educate you would do well to in
vestigate the advantages offered by the
Baptist University for Women at Raj
