O l iv e t C o llege Dress Regulations Students should not bring an extensive or elaborate wardrobe. Young women will not bring dresses o f immodest or extravagant style. Plain and serviceable clothing is more desirable. They will dress in simple attire, with ample skirts, and waists with full length sleeves. All materials used are to be of sufficient texture to prevent any exposure of the body. Graduating costumes also are to be simple and inexpensive. Non-conspieuous dress is enjoined upon all. Laundry We have a steam laundry for what is commonly known as home washing. The prices are very reasonable and the laundry furnishes work for a number of girls who make part o f their expenses in that way. For finer laundry work, such as collars, cuffs, men s dress shirts, etc., there is a college agent who handles such at regular prices. Book Store The College book store is in the Administration Building. All text-books used may be had there, as well as stationery, tablets, pencils, pens, inks, erasers, postcards, stamps, pennants, etc. Students should arrange to pay cash for what they purchase at this store. Student Employment Bureau The College will not undertake to furnish remunerative employment for all students to help pay their way while in the College. Only cases of real need can be considered and then for only part o f the expenses. No student should come without money to pay at least the amount o f his board.

O l i v e t C o l l e g e DEPARTMENT OF EXPRESSION MR. STAHL This Department does not aim to produce elocutionists^ Artificial, superficial or mechanical methods are not employed. The great purpose o f Expression is so to develop the undreamed-of possibilities, latent in all o f us, that w o shall bring them into rich and glorious manifestation. From, within outward is the great principle. Always impression must precede expression. Being, not seeming, is the great law. Out o f the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. We do not seek to graduate students who have the form, but who lack the power of thought and feeling. One must live a thing before he can get it. The ease, naturalness, and spontaneity of conversation is taken as a standard. To enter the kingdom o f expression it is necessary that one become as a little child in simplicity, teachableness, and enjoyment of what is done. Expression has five foundations: (1) Correct breathing; (2) Pictorial thinking; (3) Right tone making; (4) A responding body, including the power of relaxation; (5) Vivid realization o f the thought. These are constantly emphasized in this department. A college graduate who is a notable success in his chosen field of labor stated that there is no more important course in the curriculum than Expression. He was right. Expression links the student up with life, and enables him to communicate to others the treasures of wisdom and knowledge that he accumulates in other departments. Many have experienced the wish in the poet s words, Oh, that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me. Expression, as it is taught at Olivet, gives the power to impart to others what we feel in our souls. As a factor in achieving success along any line of endeavor, it cannot be overestimated. The text-books used are those prepared by Dr. S. S. Curry. He was unquestionably the greatest authority on this subject who ever lived. First Year Voice culture; Extemporaneous speaking; story telling, preparation o f readings, to be given in class and in chapel; 65
O l iv e t C o llege recitals. Texts: Foundations o f Expressions, Classics for Vocal Expression. Two hours, both semesters.

Third Year Pantomime; Interpretation of Literature, particularly of Shakespeare; Vocal training; oratory. Texts: Imagination and Dramatic Instincts, Mind and Voice. Two hours, both semesters. VOCAL AN D LITERARY IN TERPRETATIO N OF THE BIBLE This is primarily for those who will have occasion to read the Scriptures in public. It deals with the great principles suggested in Nehemiah, So they read in the book of the law o f God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. There are opportunities exceedingly great for those who seek to be ministers of the Word in taking this course we offer, and gaining the ability to become a blessing by the reading of the Bible before congregations. With most ministers the need for effectiveness here is immense. Two hours, both semesters. One hour is devoted to a study o f the text-book, and the other to actual work in the reading of the Bible before the class. A diploma in expression will be given only to those who have a high school education or its equivalent. This diploma will not be awarded unless the student manifests a real enthusiasm for the work, with the corresponding disposition to diligence. Merely covering the ground outlines, without showing a devotion to the wondrous art o f the spoken word, will under no circumstances entitle one to graduation. COURSES IN ART MISS SHERMAN Drawing Caste and still life drawing in charcoal. Original work in ink illustration. Lettering and design. 66

By proper selection o f electives students may meet any o f these requirements.

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT MISS SMITH, MR. HARTER Many people have the idea that one does not need a Commercial Education unless he expects to enter business. However, we feel that this is a mistaken impression. Such an education is extremely practical and valuable in whatever line of work one expects to take up. Many o f our missionaries, as well as others, are taking up this course, as they feel it will be of much practical use to them on the foreign fields. COURSES OFFERED Short hand The Gregg System of Shorthand is taught. This is the shortest, simplest and most interesting system 75

Tests are given at different stages c f the work. A speed of one hundred words a minute is required for graduation. Typewriting The touch system of typewriting is taught, which means that the student is taught to operate the typewriter without looking at the keys. This enables him to write from his notes or a copy without having to lose much time in glancing back and forth to tind the position of the keys he wishes to strike. A speed of fifty-five words a minute on copy work and fifty words a minute on dictation is required for graduation. Spelling This course will consist of daily drills in written spelling.
