This demand was made manifest by the ever-increasing number of Western girls who annually Visit the Eastern schools or the institutions of Europe in order to reach edu- cational facilities that are denied them in the West. From this broad area of 2,000,000 square miles, with a popula- tion of nearly 20,000,000, hundreds of our noble girls, at enormous cost, at the risk of health and life from the change of climate and the perils of travel, go annually to the East and to Europe to secure the best educational ad- vantages. These would all remain here, if the desired facil- ities were afforded. Surely they benedictions of a great people await the school that is to meet this growing de- mand. Inspired by this lofty aim, the founders of the College set about seeking an eligible location for such an institution. In the classic city of Liberty, a college town, the seat of William Jewell College, one of the oldest and best endowed colleges for young men in the West, with a people famed for intelligence, culture and refinement, near the Western metropolis, Kansas City, was found a spot of ground which beneficent nature seems to have fashioned with special reference to the location of such a school. Here the found- ers resolved to locate the new College. Aided by the public- spirited citizens of Liberty, they bought eleven acres for the site. Elegant buildings were erected and equipped with all the apparatus needed for a first class Ladiesl College. LOCATION. The location of the College, in the City of Liberty, is admirable in every respect. Liberty is a beautiful town of more than three thousand inhabitants, perfectly healthful, and free from malarial influences. The surroundings are V 20 AHL-Jy-u-IJHMXH'HHFFMH I115. undedin Ioughout creasing Eastern ach edu- From popula- girls, at rom the ually to onal ad- ed facil- a great ing de- College stitution. : seat of endowed e famed Western d Which special 3 found- : public- ; for the With all 'e. ierty, is town of :althful, ngs are 5H l l remarkably picturesque and attractive. Within half a mile of the city limits are the famous Reed Mineral Springs, the seat of the Odd Fellows, Home of Missouri. Fourteen miles east of Liberty are the. well-known Excelsior Springs. Kansas City, fourteen miles from Liberty, is connected with it by two lines of railway, Viz.: the Hannibal 8i St. Joseph and the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 St. Paul. The Wabash railroad is four miles distant, and makes easy connection with the other roads at Birmingham. Liberty is accessible by rail in twenty-four hours or less from Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, St. Paul and Denver. The churches of Liberty are Baptist, Christian, Presbyterian, Methodist and Catholic. BUILDING. The building is modern in architecture, three stories high with basement-the last being of stone and the other three of brick, with stone trimmings. The main building 050 feety fronts to the east; the wing tllO feety fronts to the south. The building contains 140 rooms. Those for the pupils are mainly for two each. They are large and well ventilated. Ceilings are high and hallways are wide. The entire building is lighted with incandescent electric lights and heated by steam, the electric and steam plant being located 200 feet from the building. Bath rooms with hot and cold water on dormitory floors. The stately buildings on the crest of the hills 'facing William Jewell College on the opposite side of the city; the campus, eleven acres, covered with greensward of blue grass and clover, sloping in every direction; the College windows, commandng as far as the eye can reach, a most charming view of the surrounding country; here and there, glimpses of'the classic Missouri river, its silvery sheen re- Hecting the bright sunlight-all combine to make this an ideal college home, conceded by those who have visited the College to be without a parallel in all the land. The great prosperity and the unprecedented growth of the College, year after year, since its foundation, prove the wisdom of the selection. 21 , $$$$$ Glnurap nf $1371th. The curriculum embraces the most liberal course of study, modeled after those of leading universities and C01- leges Of the country. The course is both prescribed and elective. Students who so desire may, With the approval of the Faculty, pursue a select course of studies, provided the selections do not conHict with the schedule of recitations.

While the President of the College has spared neither effort nor expense to furnish a collegiate course thorough and complete, modeled after the best colleges and univer- sities in this country, he has been impressed with the need Of a Conservatory of Music in the Mississippi Valley equal in all respects to the A TEACHER AND STUDENTS GREAT CONSERVATORIES OF THE WORLD. To this end, some years ago, was founded and incor- porated, at Liberty, Missouri, in connection With Liberty Ladies, College, The American-Mozart Conservatory of Music and Fine Arts. By extensive correspondence in Europe, prominent musicians from the Royal Conserva- tories of Europe have been brought together. The under- taking has met with phenomenal success, and the fame. of this Conservatory has gone forth into all the land. 33 $9 w aw QXKMN .6 ww THE BASKET BALL TEAM THE BASKET BALL TEAM anurm nf g?tuhg. PIANOFORTE. The course is intended to give a broad and thorough musical education based on the works of the best compos- ers, classic and modern. It is of primary importance that students should acquire a thorough foundation in technic and elementary theoretical knowledge, as without these even a literally correct execution is impossible. We take the utmost care in cultivating a clear, even and elastic touch,rs0 desirable in the production of a full, singing, musical tone, holding steadfastly t0 the principle that the development of the intellectual musical understanding must go hand in hand With technical progress. All students are urged to take the full theoretical course in conjunction with whatever special branch they may pursue. Candidates for graduation in either vocal 0r instrumental music are required to do so. Students may enter the Conservatory at any stage of advancement, but will be classihed accord- ing to the quality, not the quantity, of past work. Such studies, exercises and pieces as may be used, will be care- fully selected and adapted to the requirements of individual students in their respective grades. The course is divided into fwe periods, as follows: OUTLINE. Preparatorerorrect position and movements of fme gers, wrists and arms established, proper execution of simple passage work and various degrees of touch em- ployed. Practice material selected from following list or its equivalent: Piano Schools of Germer, Beringer, Damm, Urbachi Dolls Introduction to the Pianoforte, Emeryts Foundation Studies, Easy Studies by Le Couppey, Lemonine, Kohler. Brauer. Loeschhorn, Czerny, etc., Selected Sonatinas 2 d smaller pieces. 35 Second Period.-Technical exercises conducive to the development of strength, Hexibility, endurance and veloc: ity. Varied rhythmical treatment of chords, scales, arpeggl and passage work of all kinds.

Third PeriodeExercises requiring a greater command of technic, more musical and mental control. Practice of scales, chords, arpeggi with various accent and rhythmical treatment continued. Doring Octave Studies, Cramer studies continued, Bach Two and Three part Inventions, i Czerny School of Finger Dexterity, Clementi Gradus ad j Parnassum begun, Sonatas and other compositions of mod- i erate difficulty. Fourth PeriodeSpecial exercises and etudes designed t for overcoming the difficulties met with in the works of the : great composers, Clementi Gradus ad Parnassum contin- J ued, Kullak Octave School, Bach R'elI-tempered Clavi- i i chord begun, Sonatas and 5010 work from Mozart, Bee- ' thoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn and others.

Clementi Gradus ad Parnassum finished, Bach VVell-tem- pered Clavichord concluded, Advanced Etudes from vari- M. f ous composers, works in single and cyclical form from i Beethoven, Schumann, Von Wreber, Tschaikowsky, Brahms, MacDowell and Schutt. ENSEMBLE CLASS. The class in ensemble playing is formed from the ad- s vaiiced piano pupils. Standard overtures, symphonies, 71. e suites, etc., are studied, thus enabling one to become ac- t quainted with important work in the larger forms not easily undertaken as solos: this kind of practice is of in- 36 he estimable value in developing sight reading, firm rhyth- JC. mical feeling and a larger musical perception and grasp ggi in general. as CHORUS CLASS. 301 of A11 vocal pupils will attend this class and all other Lch students of music are urged to do likewise. The work ms undertaken consists of exercises in sight reading based on the practice in solfeggio and part songs. 1nd of PUPILS, RECITALS. ical ner These Recitals Will occur monthly, the object of Which ms is to accustom students to appearing before others, thereby aid enabling them to overcome all nervousness and timidity iod- usually experienced by young players.

ECOGNIZING the demand in our Western country for the highest order of musical culture, the President has taken the utmost pains to secure, regardless of expense, the best available talent in Europe and America. The Conservatory aims to furnish facilities equal in every particular to those of the best conservatories 0f the Old World. With this design, the President has selected a Faculty Who have been specially trained under the best masters in this Country and Europe, and whose fitness has been tested by long and successful experiences. PROF. MARION F. DUNWODY, Director. Professor Dunwody comes to us most highly recom- mended. He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipzig, Germany, having been for two years a pupil of the celebrated Dr. Carl Reinecke. The following are some of the good things said of him by those Who know him: As teacher of Piano Music in this institution Prof. Marion F. Dun- wody has given entire satisfaction and great pleasure as well. Among musical critics in this city he is considered a master in his profession, both in respect to high culture and brilliant execution. As a teacher he is faithful, highly successful, and universally popular with his stu- dents. His native refinement and gentlemanly bearing fit him peculiarly for teaching young women and render him a most agreeable comrade in school work. I take pleasure in making these statements concern- ing hlm' R. T. VANN, President The Baptist Female University, Raleigh, North Carolina. 39 Professor Dunwody is an excellent pianlst.

I have known Mr. Dunwody Intirnately for a considerable number of years, and have never had the pr1v11ege of knowing a man more lovable, frank, generous and smcere. As a musi- cian, Mr. Dunwody,s talents are far above the average. He had a d15- tinguished academical career in Europe, and each -p051t10n he has occupied since his return to America has'been retalned by him for several years, an incontestible proof that hIS serv1ces were found sat- isfactory. As a concert performer, Mr. Dunwody has always met with success, and I consider he possesses special gifts as a teacher. He has energy, considerable tact, unfailing good humor. and a most engaging personality. ALFRED COWELL GOODWIN, Professor Piano, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, Md.

Miss Josephine Lumb, who is at the head of the Vocal Department of the American Mozart Conservatory, has had excellent training for such a position. After complet- ing a course of vocal study in Charleston Female Seminary, Charleston, S. C., she spent five years of study in New York. She was for some time a pupil in the Grand Cone servatory, New York. Among her teachers were Dudley Buck, J11, C. J. Meyer, Dr. Blitz and Miss Laura Moore, one of the foremost vocalists of New York. Miss Lumb completed a full course with Miss Laura Moore. She studied also with Signor Carbone, and M. Eliert-Florio. I wish to recommend With sincerity and pleasure Miss Josephine Lumb, who has been a pupil of mine. She has taken a full course in vocal instruction with me, and is fully competent to undertake the teaching necessary in a school of your standing. She understands tone production and emission and voice building, and has at her command a good repertoire of English, French and Italian music. Be- sides this, her musical training has been most thorough in piano, har- mony and sight reading. She has studied with many well known teachers in America. New York City. iSignedl LAURA MOORE. It affords me great pleasure to say that Miss Josephine M. Lumb has studied with me for a season, and acquired the necessary knowledge and practice to fill a position of teacher of vocal culture with success. Her voice is of a rich mezzo. She sings with great taste. New York, April 19, 1905. tSignedl DR. E. EBERHARD. . It-gives me great pleasure to recommend Miss Lumb who has given instruction in my family for two vears. .1 have found Miss Lumb earnest, faithful, painstaking and pos- sessmg a surpr1s1ng ability as a teacher, my daughter making greater progress under her instruction than in twice the time under the best Baltimore professor. I feel sure that you will find Miss Lumb an exceptional teacher. New York, Oct. 1, 1904. iSignedl B. S. BALDWIN. . I take pleasure in vouching for the excellence of the method of MISS Josephlne Lumb in vocal instruction for her thoroughness, and for her keen interest in her work. I have been under her instruction for the past two years. I was referred to her by a pupil of Mr. Dudley Buck, 'Jr. It may be. that Miss Lumbis method was particularlv suited to relleve my peculiar faults, but it is certain that, from whatever cause, she has succeeded in helping me in a far greater degree than my former instructors did. tSi ned E 0 n . .

NICKERSON Miss Nickerson is a post graduate of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, Mass, and has at various times acted as substitute teacher in that school; and has also been for one year teacher of expression, physical culture and extemporaneous speaking in the Bread Winners Col- lege of Boston. Miss Nickerson, one of our very best students, is a young woman of such hne character and characteristics that it is difticult to begin writing a recommendation for her. I do not think I have ever had a student who showed more growth in her work along the various lines in which she is efficient. She has a breadth of character and a loftiness of spiritual nature which are very rare and, as a teacher, she is com- manding, forceful and popular. She has, during her first graduate year, been teaching for me, and her work deserves special commendation. As a reader, Miss Nickerson never fails to win her audience, and she gives good literature in such a way as to render it popular. Altogether I can not recommend her over-highly. iSignedi HENRY L. SOUTHWICK. Dean Emerson College of Oratory, BostOn, iMass. Miss Nickersonk readings are well chosen and given with good effect, whether in comedy or tragedy. She has a good stage presence and makes an excellent impression upon her audience. I feel sure she will succeed in her chosen profession. .

Arm. MISS L. V. CREAGER, Teacher. ISS CREAGER comes to us highly recommended. She has studied under the best teachers in this coun- try and in Paris. She has had a number of years, experi- ence, having taught in Canada, Baltimore, Washington, Nashville, and other smaller places. She is well qualihed to teach Art in all its branches, including China decoration. tapestry and pyrography. A friend writes us: ttMiss Creager I know personally, and it affords me a great deal of pleasure to say that she is one of the most cultured women that I have ever come in contact With. She is as fine a teacher of Art as is ern- tployed in any young ladies college. Her advantages have been superior and the fact that she has been able to teach in centers like Baltimore and 'VVashington indicates merit of the highest order. Her China and Tapestry work is pronounced by the finest judges to be exquisite, and indeed :she would make a reputation for herself along this line, as well as along the lines of higher Art, that should be most gratifying to her? - The Art Department at Liberty College offers to its 'pupils a four years course, the completion of which en- titles to a diploma. COURSES OF STUDY. First Year. Drawing from Objects and casts in charcoal, as blocked hands, feet and the like. Study of light and shade in 'masses. Sketching from nature in pencil. Second Year.

An out-door sketch class is one of the special features, also a sketch class from life. Requirements. The work of all pupils, excepting those residing in the city, must be retained in the studio for exhibition at the Art Levee and Commencement following its execution. Any casts broken must be replaced. The studio is open from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. Pupils may enroll at any time: Instructions given individually.

Vw GENERAL STATEMENTS. HILE the government of the College is controlled by the principles of the Christian Religion, the College was not founded by any one denomination, and is non- sectarian in its government and instruction. Pupils age required to attend the church designated by parents or guardian, when practicable. Teachers Will accompany pupils to the churches named by parents or guardians. FURNISHIN'G. The building is well furnished throughout. Each room has carpet, full bedroom suite tof antique finishy, ward- robe or Closet, center table, chairs tincluding rockery, elec- tric light and radiator for steam heat. BOARDING DEPARTMENT. All pupils not living in town, or having near relatives in town, Will be required to board in the College. This will universally yield the best results to pupils. The Pres- ident, his family, teachers and pupils constitute the house- hold. We hope to observe the care, order and discipline of a well organized, affectionate Christian home. The young ladies are expected to care for their own rooms, which are inspected every morning by the Matron. Sug- gestions will often be made by the Directress 0f the College Home and Matron upon neatness in housekeeping; order and tidiness will be strictly required. Regularity of habits Will be rigorously enforced on all pupils boarding in the College. EXPENSE IN DRESS. Parents are often to blame for the heavy expenses of their daughters at Boarding Schools. Unnecessary ex- penditures in dress are frequent-if not the rule. Young ladies really require fewer changes of dress and less ex- 57 , .55 w WJ. WAV-li-A .i pensive Clothing at school than at home. One neat Curli- formlU dress for Sunday service is sufficient at school; while at home, three or four changes would not be too much. We discourage expensive dressing, and the use of expensive jewelry. UNIFORM. On Sundays, as well as all public occasions, the board- ing pupils are required to wear uniform. This is economy and prevents distinction in dress. It consists of black dress, Oxford gown and cap. The gown and cap are to be purchased after entering school. The cost of the gown will not exceed $10, and the cap will cost $2.50. The dress may be of any serviceable material, but must be black. Only black trimmings are allowed. Only white and black are allowed for neckwear. No heavy wrap or winter hat need be provided, as the gown and cap are sufficient. Dur- ing fall and spring the uniform is plain white waist and black skirt, and plain white straw hat, with black ribbon band as trimming. No party or evening dresses are allowed on any occaS1on. SPECIAL COURSES. Pupils sufliciently matured, who wish to take special or irregular courses, may do soeprovided the President shall decide that the selected course is preferable to attain the end in View. Special courses are arranged for those who have been teachers or desire to become teachers, and certificates of their grades and the work done will be presented when they leave. We take special interest in instructing and training in Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art and Elocution, pu- pils who wish to become teachers of these branches. Con- servatories of Music, Art Schools and Schools of Elocu- tion present no better opportunity for such pupils than this College presents. 58 ax .-. l Rh 1611 in pu- on- cu- his PHYSICAL CULTURE. The college owns an admirably lighted, well heated and thoroughly ventilated gymnasium. It is fully supplied with necessary appliances-weights, bars, rings, clubs, bells, etc., etc. The College campus also presents abundant opportun- ity for healthful exercise. On the beautiful lawns, games -as croquet, tennis, eto-can be indulged in to the young ladies health and great delight. Much outdoor exercise at suitable seasons will be required. In fact, we encourage and require all outdoor exercise possible, consistent with good government and work. HEALTH RECORD. It would be hard to find a more healthful location for a school. Our health record is a matter of wonder to all who know it. This climate is especially benehcial to girls from the South and extreme Northwest. The following is from the United States Health Bulle- tin, published in New York, September, 1902. We do not know the author, and knew nothing of the article until we saw it in print. SCHOOLS AND HEALTH. During the month of September several hundred thou- sand of young Americans will leave their homes to attend some institution of learning. How many parents realize just what that phrase-Jlleave homelC-means? Few, we fear, really grasp the idea embodied-ethe fact that not only are the moral influences of the home life no longer to sur- round the child, but that the careful supervision of their physical welfare with which the parents have guarded their sons and daughters is to give place to another, and too often, a different state of affairs. Even the most careful parents will neglect to make sure that the hygienic Stirroundings of their Children in the school are all that they should be. If the curriculum of the school is satisfactory, the corps of teachers made up of 59 INTERIOR VIEWS Id.-. -L...-4--... . - a .. A A ---v.- ' Ma , .71 .7 V i THlZZf Mii'Tu-Mf A. V 7 Q U well-known educators and the iisocial atmosphereh of the place of a sort that seems desirable for the young man or woman, it is the habit of parents to congratulate them- selves upon having found iijust the placeii for Hack, or iiAliceW If an additional query is made it possibly has to do with the general healthfulness of the locality. How often is there any inquiry made into the sanitary and hy- gienic status of the school? If it is a boarding school, who asks anything about the kitchen except as to the abundance of' the food? Who asks about the plumbing, the ventila- tion, and the disposition of the sewerage? Who asks about the water supply? It seems almost beyond belief, in these days when health is concededly dependent upon proper sanitary and hygienic surroundings, that the head of a family could for a minute lose sight of these matters and send his dear ones to a place about which he knows nothing concerning the care taken to preserve the health of the residents, when refiection will assure him that the most sedulous care is necessary. The United States Health Bulletin has had occasion to examine into this subject quite extensively during the past . few months, and if some of the facts that have come to our notice during these investigations were generally known, we believe that prospective patrons would be shocked at E the unsanitary and disease-breeding conditions existing at i some of the highest priced and most fashionable schools. E These investigations have been made without the insti- E gation of the proprietors and generally without their knowl- edge, consequently they are unbiased and unprejudiced. Among the schools that met with the general approyai of the experts investigating these matters for us, and which we have no hesitation in recommending to our readers, is the Liberty Ladiesi College, Liberty, Missouri. . We know nothing about the course of study at this school, for it is of no interest to us, but if the same care is taken with the mental welfare of the pupils as is shown and plainly shown to be taken with the physical, WC f661 .0 Larvae 61 that it deserves the support of parents and the encourage- ment of the public. Are the days of Dotheboys Hall so long past that pa- pr rents can trust their childrenis future to the care of stran- . gers without the most searching investigations? LITERARY SOCIETIES. L: There are two thoroughly organized and well-gov- erned Literary Societies in :the iCollege-Alethean and i Cleophas. Almost every pupil in school is a member of Ti one or the other of these societies. Great enthusiasm and ! excellent results have marked their existence. Exercises ' consist of instrumental and vocal music, readings, essays, C1 recitations, etc. Teachers and officers frequently attend the meetings of these societies, giving their influence and en- ar couragement to the young ladies in this excellent line of Of work. Such organizations quicken the mind and rehne the me tastes. They are as an intellectual stimulus and a means Tl ar i of literary culture. Rooms will be set apart for the pur- i pose of these societies, and the young ladies will be en- couraged to arrange and furnish them attractively, as op- portunity may allow. YOUNG WOMANiS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 1 e , The young ladies, aided by officers and teachers, main- . 3 1 tain a Y. W. C. A. This society has done much good in J g the past, and it is its Object to cultivate a religious and spiritual sentiment among the pupils. Attendance is V01- untary, but it is greatly desired that all students shall be- come interested in this work. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. Under appropriate rules, pupils are allowed the use of the books and magazines of the College Library and of the 1 Presidentis private library. Additions are made to the li- brary every year. . ' During the past iive years the friends of the institution - J: have presented several hundred choice volumes. Our 4...--.... Abr-aas ....-.-. -.- J 62 .-....i yum -, Leiawh a. am y. .-... .4 3- friends may render us valuable and lasting service by send- ing us an occasional volume. Such kindness is always ap- - preciated. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES. Young ladies enjoy rare and special advantages in the Liberty Ladiest College. These are, in addition to the so- cial and moral culture of the people Of Liberty, the health- d ' fulness and beauty of the town and College, the conven- f ience of equipment, and the new and elegant furnishings. These special advantages we have by virtue of the presence 8 of William Jewell College and our proximity to Kansas g City. Young ladies occasionally attend public entertainments and lectures at William Jewell College. These are mostly, h f of a high order, and cannot fail of great beneht. Here we . may come in contact with the leading spirits of the day. e There can be but a literary and stimulating atmosphere S among such associations. r- The value of our proximity to wide-avvake Kansas 11- City cannot be overdrawn. Here artists and musicians of hp. renown come, such as do not ordinarily Visit our inland towns. Special elevating attractions may be presented in the city. These are fully in reach of our pupils. The en- terprising people of Liberty have often chartered trains If: for these special occasions-for day or night. We have 1n the beneht of a leading city, Without its unpleasant and nld evil inHuences. ?e- REPORTS. A close class grade is kept by each teacher, and the result sent to parents or guardians at the end of each quar- ter. Demerits are given for violation of school rules and of general misconduct. When a boarding pupil has received .he a 75 demerits she will not be retained lohger 1n echool. 1i- When a day pupil has received 25 demetlts she W111 not be retained longer. Parents will please mspect these te- on ports carefully, and call the pupil to account for dements Mn and low grades. 63 , 99 ?W G 10 EXAMINATIONS. If a pupilis general average in any study does not fall below eighty during the term, and her absence from Class during the term does not average more than three times per month, she may be passed Without written examina- tion; but if her grade falls below eighty or her absence from class, from any cause, exceeds an average of three times per month, she must stand a written examination. When a subject is taught by lectures, examinations are re- quired. CARE OF THE SICK. Should a pupil be sick while under our care, we shall take the same interest in her that we would wish others to take in our own children. The Matron and Directress of the College Home will always be found kind and atten- tive to those the least ill. Proper precautions will be taken to prevent serious sickness. The best physician at com- mand will be summoned, if necessary, and his Opinion in the case will be promptly sent to the parents. In cases of protracted illness a nurse will be employed at the expense of parent. ENTERTAINMENTS. Occasionally receptions, musicales, recitals, and open sessions are held in the College building. These have been pleasant and stimulating. CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION. Girls and young ladies whose attainments are within the scope of Preparatory and Collegiate Departments will be welcomed as pupils. We will not knowingly re- ceive any who have been dismissed from other Colleges. The rules are easy and require only diligence and lady-like, deportment. Young ladies purposing to profit by their associations here shall not be disappointed; they are met more than half way by the cordial sympathy and earn- est aid of teachers and officers. Young ladies who do not so purpose are wasting time in coming to our school. 65 ..es....:a.mb. . .V. . e ,aiaxuz'arawu n; w; .-....4,. .0 '3 Ym;$s'l:wgg$$ : i3 TO PARENTS. 0 those who are seeking diplomas by short methods, or who may be tempted by cheaper offers where other merits are wanting, we can offer no inducements. But if you desire for your daughters the solid advantages of thor- ough training under the most faithful and skillful teachers, who, without flattery, will be true to the best interests; if you wish your daughters to become thorough and ac- complished scholars, give them to us, and also give us your conhdence. At great cost we have brought to our aid the best talent that we could reach, both in Europe and in America. Help us inythis great work by teaching your daughters to conhde in us, and we promise you the hap- piest results. Charges must be paid strictly in advance at the begin- ning of each half year. Please do not wait for us to write, reminding you of this contract. Bills overdue will draw 6 per cent interest. If your daughter enters school within the hrst month, the charge will be from the first day of the session; enter- ing later, she will be charged from the week of entrance to close of school year. Parents will please limit their daughters correspon- dence. This is a source of frequent evil. Look well also to the character of even their young lady friends to whom they write. Much depends upon chaste, elevating corre- spondence. Parents will please furnish a list of persons with whom their daughters may correspond. We most earnestly advise that parents forbid their daughters corre- sponding with any young man with whom they are unac- quainted and whose character they do not know. A large correspondence will not be permitted; in addition to the names of the immediate family, not more than four names will be allowed on a list of correspondents. By liimmediate familyii we do not mean uncles, aunts and cousins. We discourage the frequent visits of young lady friends. Visiting in town is not permitted, except in com- pany with a teacher. Visiting in Kansas City or any of the smaller towns is not permitted at all. 66 h r x- ds, 161' . if or- :rs, an- 150 om re- ms ost ac- rge the ,1 es ate Ldy of Pupils from Kansas City and other nearby points will not be permitted to make weekly Visits to their homes. Once a month is, under ordinary circumstances, often enough. Those who make frequent Visits home do poor work at school. Parents are earnestly asked not to be too indulgent in allowing pocket money to their daughters. Most girls spend more money while at school than is necessary. All express packages must be prepaid. Eatables, except fruit, must not be sent to pupils; and when sent will be returned to sender at his expense. Boxes will be inspected before being delivered to pupil. A11 telegrams to pupils should be addressed to the President. He claims the right to open all telegrams and special delivery letters. Pupils are not called to the telephone. If parents wish to use the telephone, they must call the President and not the pupil. Please do not ask permission for your daughters to at- tend parties or social gatherings of any kind in the town or community, or to visit out of town. Parents or guardians cannot give their daughters or wards permission, either by letter or while Visiting them at the College, to deviate from any of the College rules or regulations. Parents are entreated to confer promptly and frankly With us concerning any complaints that may be made. Whether the complaint is just or unjust, we shall make frank reply. We require for the pupils good, that she not be per- mitted to spend the Christmas holidays in townw nor a few days with friends texcept immediate relativesi in town at the close of school. Requests concerning pupils, to receive attention, must be sent, not through pupils, but directly to the President by mail. Those who place pupils in this school are understood to accept all conditions and regulations of this catalogue as part of their contract. 67 x $$$XQY STUDENTS ROOM 41 STUDENT,S ROOM REGULATIONS FOR DAY PUPILS. l. Pupils detained at home, from any cause, or who desire to leave school before the regular hour, must bring from parent or guardian written requests to be excused. 2. Day pupils are required to withdraw from the in- stitution in a quiet and orderly manner immediately after the close of the daily session. 3. Day pupils are required to be prompt at all sesw sions of the school. Parents will please see that their daughters are not on the streets during the morning or afternoon session. 4. It is hoped that young ladies will not receive the company of young gentlemen during the week. Gentle- men callers and difficult lessons cannot be companions. Parents would do well if they wish their daughters to reap the greatest benefits in school to have them observe the rules of the boarding department. 5. Day pupils are not allowed the company of young gentlemen t0 and from College. Parents please see that your daughters bring no mes- sages, notes, or packages to boarding pupils.

All mail is delivered by the Postoffice to the College Mail Carrier, and by him to the President. While the President does not generally open letters, yet he reserves the right to open and retain any letters which he may suspect of an improper Character, or in violation of the rules. . , 6.

The presence of mothers during the week greatly interferes with the work of the pupil and often causes failure in classes. 13. Young ladies will not be permitted to Visit Kan- sas City, except when in charge of a teacher. When the teacher goes simply to accompany the young ladies, her expenses must be paid by those whom she accompanies. 14. At close of School, pupils will not be permitted to leave College before commencement exercises are over. These exercises are a great inspiration to the pupil her- self; and she owes it to herself, to her schoolmates who take part in these exercises, and to the school, to remain until the close. After these exercises are over, we accom- pany pupils as far as Kansas City, and see them on their trains for home. TEACHERS. 1.

Williams, Liberty Ladiesi College has been wonderfully successful. It gives me great pleasure to recommend him and his excellent school to all who may be interested in female education. WILLIAM FROST BISHOP, Ph.D., D.D. Pastor of Puesbyterian Church, Carthage, MO. I have known the Liberty Ladies, College intimately and well, and I never knew a better school. It is good enough for anybodfs daughter, I care not who the man is. T. P. STAFFORD, D.D. Professor of Theology in William Jewell College, Liberty is a very healthful location, and easily reached by railroad from any point. Liberty Ladiesi College has splendid building equipments and is situated at a suitable distance from the main part Of the town, but convenient for shopping and attendance at Church. President VVil- liams has had much experience in the education of young ladies and is exhibiting great ability in the management of the College, revealing a quick insight into human nature and an active concern as to the mental and moral welfare of his pupils. Eld. A. B. JONES, Ministcnyin Christian Church. Liberty, MO. Liberty Ladiesi College is, in my opinion worthy of commendation. No college for young ladies in the West. known to me, is more beautiful for situation, more modern in its appointments, more careful in its discipline, more thorough in its course of study, more competent in its corps of instructors, more progressive in its ideas, or more Wise and conservative in its general management. 78 i n g, o1 , $25.44; ,.., sETWT'nm J. P. GREENE, D.D., LL.D. President of WilliamJewell College. I have known President Williams for a number of years, and have a high regard for him as a man. His con- duct of Liberty Ladies, College has won a good name for himself among our citizens. He has a good faculty. The l building is an excellent one, With all modern conveniences. i I know that President Williams and his wife Will con- , scientiously care for the young ladies committed to their 1 Charge. The College is a good school home. .' ELD. FRED 7. L . i T X 005 Minister of Christian Church, Liberty, Mo. In point of equipment and appurtenances, I know of no school excelling it. For thoroughness of study and eX- - cellence of course it is all that could be asked. Fully up to all the latest Literature, Science, and especially Music ,and Art, it meets all that could be desired. The manage- . ment is composed of tried and trained instructors. Home- like in social features. No one need fear sending a girl to President Williams. J. H. SIMMONS, AM. Former Professor of English Language and Literature, William Jewell College. I think well of Liberty Ladiesi College. The material equipment is excellent, the curriculum offers a wide range ; of valuable work, the officers and teachers are, in my judg- l ment, admirably titted for their respective places, and the l location could hardly be equaled-whether regard is had to beauty, healthfulness, or social and moral advantages. W. R. ROTHWELL, D.D. Late Professor of Moral Philosophy and Theology, WilliamJewell College. g i, I regard Liberty Ladiesl College as taking high rank in the higher education of young ladies. The buildings are new, with every modern appliance for convenience, i m. health and comfort. There can be no better location. President Williams devotes his whole time and energy to his school; provides the best teachers and the most boun- tiful and healthful boarding. He is eminently worthy the success he is achieving. 79 W. A. CROUCH, President Turney Bank, Turney, Mo. I am well pleased with the management and course of study Of the Liberty Ladies, College. REV. JOHN A. BROADUS, DD., LL.D. Late Presidents. B. Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Prof. Williams is a man of decided ability, and is apt to be thorough in whatever he undertakes. He is alto- gether reliable in character, and has decided good sense and sound, practical judgment. His good sense, kindly disposition, and pleasant ways adapt him well to the voca- tion of teaching. His Wife is also quite a pleasing and sen- sible lady, and they may both be relied on With entire con- fidence as to their fidelity to all Obligations, and disposi- tion to make all their work genuine. REV. G. L. BLACK, DD. Libertv.Mo. I knew President Williams as a cultured Christian gentleman prior to his coming to Liberty. I know him as an experienced educator and practical business man. His manner of life, his methods of instruction, and his tact in governing young ladies of varied tastes and temperaments, peculiarly fit him for the position he occupies. He is also well married. Mrs. Williams is admirably adapted by nat- ural endowments and education to be the female head of such an institution. She readily wins and permanently holds the love and confidence of the girls. This makes the school a Christian home for all committed to their care. EX-GOVERNOR C. H. HARDIN, A.M., LL.D. Late President Boardsof Trustees of Hardin College, Mexico, Mo. I have known Professor C. M. Williams, of Liberty College, for several years very favorably, and can most cheerfully recommend him. He has special executive abil- ity and is a ripe scholar. He is firm and decided in all his convictions, rules with prudent judgment and conservative action. He has special ability in the business manage- ment of a College-indeed, I think he has few equals in this respect. 8o w.....wm...-a-v.. Mnf-BW 7 f r: II 3:, .A . .liiki? , M .1 V ,PI'IEJ: nix!!!
