HOWARD PAYNE COLLEGE.
the city is lighted with electricity and has an excellent system of
telephones, waterworks and electric fans
The general healthfulness and beauty of the city, the high charac
ter of its inhabitants, and the stimulating, intellectual, moral and religious
influences make this an almost ideal location for a'n institution
of learning.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Discipline.
In a democratic society, self government is al essential, and with
this thought continually in mind, the faculty have tried to adopt such
a discipline as is best calculated to foster such a spirit All appropriate
means are used to develop a sense of personal honor, and a sacred
regard for truth, and any student who habitually and wantonly
violates the regulations, or who is not regular and punctual in attendance
on all the school exercises, may, at the discretion of the faculty,
be required to withdraw from the college.
Co-Education.
Co-education is no longer an experiment. Its superiority over
the old monastic system of separating the sexes is becoming fully
recognized. Leading educators, and leading institutions are beginning
to realize this fact, and are beginning to adjust themselves to
the situation. Intellectually, socially, morally and financially the
advantages of co-education are many and apparent, while the disadvantages,
if any, are few. From reasons of practical utility, therefore,
the discussion of which would here be out of place, Howard
Payne college needs no apology for the fact that it is co-educational.19
