SESSION BEGINS SEPT. II, 1889. E S. FRISBEE, D. D., President. HISTORY. THE work of founding Fisk University was begun early in October, 1865. It was clearly seen that Nashville was a strategic point, at which should be built up a great central institution on a foundation broad enough to enable it to provide for every educational demand that should arise in the development of the newly emancipated race. Hence, in 1867, a charter was secured for a university. The name was given in honor of Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, who most heartily and efficiently co-operated in its establishment, and who has ever since been President of the Board of Trustees. RESULTS. Beginning with a people just emancipated, the growth of Fisk University fitly represents the educational progress of the race during a period of freedom covering less than a quarter of a century. When the "Fisk School" was started there were no public schools for colored children in Nashville, and there was no demand for instruction except in the simplest branches of a common-school education; the pupils were then all from the city. There are now in successful operation the following departments of instruction: I. THE COMMON ENGLISH, which has been maintained to meet a continued need on the part of many of the patrons of the University. II. THE NORMAL, which has a course of study extending over four years, beginning with Latin and Algebra. III. THE COLLEGE PREPARATORY, which has a course of study extending over three years, beginning with Latin and Algebra, and requiring two years of Greek. IV. THE COLLEGE, which has a four-years course of study additional to that provided in the College Preparatory Course. V. THEOLOGICAL. Thus far the instruction in this Department has been fragmentary, but plans are now being devised for the erection of an appropriate building for a Theological Seminary, and the enlarging of the Faculty, so as to provide a course of study covering three years. VI. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC, with an extended course in both instrumental music and voice culture. There are over one hundred pupils in this Department. In addition, vocal music is taught throughout all the courses of study. The Mozart Society studies and renders the Classics in music. VII. INDUSTRIAL. This important department of education has not been made a prominent feature in the educational work of Fisk University. Printing and Carpentry are, however, taught to classes of young men. The young women are instructed in Nursing, Cooking, and Sewing. The University has a campus of thirty acres, with buildings and other appliances for its educational work, which have cost $250,000. ATTENDANCE. The present number of students is five hundred and eight. Twenty States are represented. GRADUATES. There have been graduated, from the College Department eighty, and from the Normal fiftyfive. Many hundreds have received a good English education, which has fitted them for teaching and business. The present number of pupils in the Normal and College Departments nearly equals the entire number which has been graduated during the past twenty-four years. Of the Alumni ten have become ministers, six lawyers, five physicians, and most of the others hold important positions as educators. Three are missionaries in Africa. ENDOWMENT. The University is without endowment. The annual expenses, above the small income from students, are met by voluntary contributions, made directly to the University, or through the American Missionary Association which founded the University and has continually fostered it. THE DEMAND IS NOW IMPERATIVE FOR AN ADEQUATE ENDOWMENT. Haply some one reading these lines may find pleasure in helping towards this endowment. EXPENSES. The cost of room, board, and tuition is $12.00 per calendar month. Instruction in Instrumental Music is fifty cents per lesson, including use of instrument for practice. The Scholastic Year 1889-90 will open September 23d. For information address either of the undersigned. Rev. E. M. CRAVATH, D. D., President. NASHVILLE, TENN., June, 1889. |
