ABILENE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Stenography
For the benefit of those who may desire instruction in these
very valuable branches, we have provided an instructor who has had
thorough training and two years office practice, and two years as
teacher in public schools. This work may be taken as a credit course
by students of the Freshman and Sophomore classes of the Junior
College without extra tuition charges. A typewriter fee of $1.00 a
month will be charged.
Students of the Junior and Senior classes of the Junior College
may carry a full college course and devote their spare time to this
work and equip themselves for first class commercial work without
any loss to their regular work. A charge of $3.00 a month will be
made, including the typewriter fee.
Students who devote their entire time to this work will be charged
$5.00 a month tuition, and $2.00 a month typewriter fee, or the entire
course will be given for $45 paid in advance.
Physical Education
This institution believes that careful attention should be given to
the development of physical manhood and womanhood as well as to
the intellectual and spiritual development. It is the purpose of the
college to stimulate an interest in wholesome athletics, athletics that
will afford an opportunity for healthful exercise, train the mind, and
elevate the morals of those participating. Every possible precaution
is taken to protect all college athletics from any taint of professionalism.While the college engages in inter-collegiate contests the policy of
developing highly specialized intercollegiate teams is subordinated to
that of providing suitable exercise for all students. The following
branches of organized athletics are offered: tennis, baseball, basket
ball, volley ball, cross country running, track and field sports, with
inter-collegiate, inter-class and inter-society contests.
For those who do not wish to take part in athletic games other
suitable forms of physical training will be provided.50
