As educators, they aim to secure the gradual and fu st dcccl opnent of mind and heart oget her. They recognize moral training as an essential element of education, and spare no effort to form their young charges to habits of virtue, while offering them every facility and aid to the highest mental culture. It is their ambition to form nen of deep thou qht, solid principles, virtuous habits, and of sound religious convictions, without which they deem education little better than worthless. The formation of Christian character in the class-room is their ii!es aim. 3 SEATTLE COLLEGE A. Ft. D. 0. Seattle College was established by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, in 1892, and in October, 1898, was empowered by the State of Washington to confer degrees and academic honors. The college is for day scholars only. The course of studies is the same as that pursued in all Jesuit Colleges, embracing a Collegiate and Academic Department. The College Course, which leads to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, consists of four classes, corresponding to the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years in other institutions, but known in the colleges of the society as Humanities, Poetry, , 	Rhetoric and Philosophy. The Academic Department, besides being a preparaticfl for the Collegiate course, aims at imparting such an education as is usually given in High Schools and Academies, but devotes more time to drill-work on the essentials of a higher education. It embraces four classes: First, Second, Third Academic and Preparatory.-  Something of the nature, aim and requirements f each class is given in the following scheme and its explanations: COLLEGE COURSE Average I)aily Neces3 Cl sses Age c/ass Home-.

During the early part of the course, the student's attention is principally devoted to acquiring an accurate knowledge of his native tongue and of elementary mathematics, with all the branches that are ordinarily taught to boys from ten to fifteen years of age. The object of the Preparatory Class is to introduce young pupils to the study of the first principles of Preparatory Grammar, chiefly by class-drill; to form them to habits of attention and aplica/ion, and thus to prepare them for the regular course of instruction. In the second year the rudiments of the Latin tongue are mastered, and the studvof Grammar is thus made Third 	 from the beginning comftara/ive and analytical. Academic By means of constant oral and written exercises the study is rendered thoroughly practical. The accessory branches: Arithmetic, Reading, Spelling, Penmanship, etc., go hand in hand with the above more fundamental work. The object of the class of Second Academic is to acquire skill in parsing, readiness in the analysis and Second 	 construction of sentences, and facility of Academic expression by means of translations and the simpler forms of composition. Greek is begun in this class. The object of the class of First Academic is to complete the study of Grammar, and to perfect the First 	 student in the simpler forms of Composition Academic begun in the preceding class. As the pupil advances his judgment is exercised more and more, while less attention is given to mere memory work. When after these years of preparation he reaches the College 5 SEATTLE COLLEGE Course, properly so-called, he is supposed to read with some facility Latin and Greek, and to have more than an accurate knowledge of his own language. In the first year of the College Course he perfects still more his knowledge of Grammar, by a complete Humanities - review, and devotes himself more particularly to the cultivation of his literary taste and powers, by reading and imitating the best models of ancient and modern literature. The year of Poetry is given to the training of the imagination. The nature of poetry is explained, the techni- Poetry 		 calities of verse-making are mastered and practiced, and the great poets are studied. Journalism is a feature of this and the following class. Then comes the year of Rhetoric, during which the student's critical powers are exercised and Rhetoric 		 developed, poets and prose writers are scientif- ically analyzed, the principals of oratory are read and discussed. While this literary training has been going on, the course of Mathematics has been steadily advancing, Mathematics and natural science, in its various branches, has been taken up as soon as the student's development admitted of its being pursued in a systematic way. The last year of the course serves especially to discipline the reasoning faculties by the study of Logic, Philosophy Metaphysics and Ethics, and by higher studies in the natural sciences. 	 During this year great attention is given to Metaphysics, a thorough knowledge of which is regarded as of the utmost importance, since it serves to arrange systematically all the student's knowledge and furnish the key to all true science. Whatever is important in natural science is taken into the course, and taught with a philosophical analysis intended to guard the student against 6 SEATTLE COLLEGE that confounding of mere information with learning, which is-the  threatening danger in modern education. This is a bird's-eye view of the world-famed classical course of studies—a course much misunderstood, but whose success in developing and training all the powers of the mind, and rendering it capable of understanding and appreciating all branches of learning, centuries of practical experience make manifest. Whitelaw Reid lately said: "This collegiate course was the best basis for the higher learning the best systems of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had to offer. It is the best basis still, as we turn to the wider and better attainments the twentieth century has to offer. It has formed for genera-tions of our race the badge of the best title any of the race have ever worn in any land, or can wear, the proud title of scholar and gentleman." This course, which serves as a foundation for special training in any branch, which the student, with his mind matured and trained, may decide to take up, is obligatory on all; to render it in any considerable degree elective, would be to defeat its very end and aim. 7 SEATTLE COLLEGE College Course of Studies FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS Class of Philosophy (Senior) LOGIC AND METAPHYSICS —Russo—Public and Private Dispu-tations.

Those who come from other institutions must show certificate of honorable dismission. Applicants for admission to the Freshman class must pass a satisfactory examination in the studies of the Academic Department. Candidates for admission to higher classes must pass the entrance examination, and an examination on subjects previously studied by the class they propose to enter. Students are admitted to the Preparatory Class, who have reached the age of ten years, are acquainted with the elements of Grammar and know their arithmetic as far as fractions. TERMS The charge for tuition is thirty dollars per session of ten months. Payments may be made monthly in advance. MARKS AND TESTIMONIALS Once a week the marks of the students are read privately to the classes, and once a month publicly before the Faculty and students. These marks are the result of the student's conduct and application, ioo being the maximum. At the close of the month a student who has received 95 per cent. in each of the weekly marks, is awarded a "First Testimonial;" a student who has received between go and 95 per cent., a 'Second Testimonial." To lend interest to these announce-ments, as well as to accustom the students to appear in public, the proceedings are varied with declamations, original speeches and vocal and instrumental music. H I SEATTI.E COLLEGE Prizes Prizes and honors are awarded at the closing exercises. The follovcing are the four points from which class honors are determined: For the first term, the average application mark combined with the percentage obtained in the weekly competitions. The average percentage obtained in the written examinations before February 1st. The application mark and percentage of weekly competitions attained in the second term. The percentage of the examination in June. Each counts one quarter. The friends of the college are respectfully reminded of the good and honorable work of founding prizes and scholarships. Such foundations would stimulate young men to greater ardor for serious study; and, while showing the public spirit and zeal of the founders for education, would enable the college to bestow higher rewards on successful exertions. Parental Co-operation The efforts of teachers and prefects will be much facilitated if the co-operation of parents can be secured. Parents are, therefore, earnestly requested: 1st. To insist upon daily study at home for two or three hours at least. 2d. To notify The college in case of the withdrawal of their sons, or of necessary detention from, or tardy arrival at, school; of failure to receive the monthly report. 3d. To attend to notifications, sent in case of an unexplained absence, or for lessons notably bad during a considerable length of time. 4th. To require and examine the monthly report, and not to omit inquiring about unsatisfactory marks. 12 SEArFLE COLLEGE In case of absence during the year, a note from home is always required. Such excuses should not be granted except for grave reasons. Mere pleasure- seeki n g is no valid excuse for absence. Too frequent absence, except in case of sickness, is sufficient cause for requesting the student's withdrawal. Correction Though the government of the institution is rather mild than severe, yet, for the maintaining of order and discipline, without which good results are not obtainable, punctual attendance, strict obedience, assiduous application and blame-less conduct are required of every student. Any serious neglect of these essential points renders the offender liable to effective correction and even to dismissal, if this be deemed necessary. Along with moral and mental training the college lays great stress on the development, in all its students, of the manners of a perfect gentleman, and looks upon the rules of politeness as.a very important part of its course of study. A student who at any period of the year, especially at the January examination, proves himself unfit for his class from continual neglect of work, will at once be placed in a lower grade.

The coming year will see another addition to the teaching staff, the opening of the second Collegiate Class, the class of "Poetry," and further improvements along the line of the preced-ing year's work ; and with the co-operation of friends promises much for the future of the college. A continuation of the same strict but fatherly discipline,for which the college has been conspicuous in the past, is promised to parents and guardians who wish to avail themselves of the greater advantages offered for the coming year.
