Volume 6 Relation of U.B/EUB Virginia Conferences to Shenandoah University Dec. 26, 2013
Shenandoah Seminary Catalog, 1878-79.58 Staff: Rev. A. P. Funkhouser, Proprietor, History
and Morals; Rev. J. N. Fries, A.B., Latin, Greek, and Mathematics; Miss Minnie King, Instrumental
Music; Aldine S. Kieffer, Vocal Music and Harmony; and Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene; Mrs. E.
M. Shipman, Matron, and Luther O. Burtner, Janitor. Examining and Visiting Committee: Rev. William
Beall, M. D., Frederick City, Md.; Rev. J. W. Funk, Leitersburg, Md.; Rev. A. M. Evers, Churchville,
Va.; Prof. A. S. Kieffer, Dayton, Va.; and R. H. Tatum, M. D., Dayton, Va. General Remarks: We not
only aim to place within the reach of all an education, but also to lay such foundation in the preparatory
and fundamental branches, that the training may be symmetrical and complete in all its parts. Too little
attention is usually paid to the ground-work. Our own language is replete with the richest treasures, and
the student is so directed as to secure them; at the same time, the value of the classics is not
underestimated. Advanced students have good opportunities for the study of the Languages, as well of
the Higher Mathematics. A full corps of teachers, each one qualified for his particular work, will be
employed. To all young men and women, we wish to say: If you desire to educate, come to
Shenandoah Seminary; if otherwise, please go elsewhere, as Shenandoah Seminary shall have no
attractions for the idler.
