The author gives an overview and a complete table of contents of \textit{Scientiae Baccalaureus}, a mostly mathematical Journal appearing only in four numbers from 1890 to 1891 in Rolly, Missouri. It is a remarkable Journal since it published the first English translation of Lobachevsky's and Bolyai's work on non-Euclidean geometry by George Bruce Halsted. This reference is often neglected in works on history of mathematics. Moreover, the author emphasizes that the editors encouraged undergraduates to contributing to \textit{Scientiae Baccalaureus}.
