HOLLINBECK, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT The studies pursued in this department are the same as those in a good high school. The important difference is the stress laid on instruction in the Bible. The courses are so arranged as to prepare students for entrance into college, university, or technical school, in the case of those who are planning such a career. Others, who do not contemplate advanced studies, will find the courses a broad education in themselves. ADMISSION Students who have graduated from the eighth grade of a public school are admitted into the first year of the Academy without examination. Those who have no such diploma are expected to show a mastery of the subjects taught in the public school, or take preliminary work. Anyone who has pursued studies in some other academy or high school and wishes to enter an advanced class will be given credit for the work done in another school. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION To complete the course satisfactorily and secure a diploma as evidence thereof, a student must obtain 16 credits. This requirement is satisfied by carrying four regular studies through the year for four years. Mature students are able to shorten their course by carrying an extra subject or by attending our summer school. Ordinarily the student is required to follow’ one of the five prescribed courses: the Latin, the Modern Language, the Scientific, the Music, or the Business course. 21

CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY When to Enter HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Students should enroll at the beginning of the term in September, January, or June, as all classes begin at those dates. It is difficult to enter later, because the studies in this department are all class work continuing through the term. Every effort should be made to be at the school promptly on Registration Day. If prevented from entering at that time, prospective students should write to the school before coming, and learn whether they can still join their classes. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Students in this department are admitted at four different times, the beginning of September, the beginning of November, the beginning of January, and the beginning of June. Except by special permission, students will not be admitted at any other time. BIBLE INSTITUTE The best time to enter is the opening of the fall term about October 1. New students are also admitted at the beginning of the spring term about January 1. Students may by special permission enter at other dates and for a shorter period of time than a term, though they may be unable to complete any subjects. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Students are admitted into this department at any time of the year, as the studies are all individual work. 20
