PRESIDENT PAUL R. BEALL

HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE COLLEGE

Oglethorpe's history dates back to 1835 when a group of
Georgia Presbyterians, influenced by the example of Princeton
University, secured a charter for the operation of a church-
supported university in the academic pattern of the nineteenth
century. Actual operations commenced in 1838 at Midway, a
small community near Milledgeville, at that time the capital
of the state.

For nearly three decades after its founding, the university
steadily grew in stature and influence. Its president during
most of that time, Samuel K. Talmage, provided gifted leader-
ship and, at the same time, gathered about him a faculty of
unusual ability, at least two of whom would achieve real dis-
tinction: James Woodrow, an uncle of Woodrow Wilson and
the first teacher in Georgia to hold the Ph.D., and Joseph Le-
Conte, destined to world fame for his work in the field of
geology.

Oglethorpe alumni went forth in those years to play roles
of importance in various fields. Perhaps the best-known of her
graduates was the poet Sidney Lanier, a member of the Class
of 1860, who remarked shortly before his death that the great-
est intellectual impulse of his life had come to him during his
college days at Oglethorpe.

But the life and service of the school were suddenly cut
short in the 1860's as Oglethorpe became a casualty of war.
Her students marched away to become Confederate soldiers;
her endowment at length was lost in Confederate bonds; her
buildings were converted to military use as a barracks and
hospital. In a sense, her fate became bound up with that of
the Lost Cause.

After the close of the conflict an effort was made to revive
the institution, first at Midway and then by re-location in At-
lanta. However, the ravages of war, together with the disloca-
tions of Reconstruction, posed obstacles too great to overcome,
and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors for a second, and
seemingly final, time.

But three decades later, thanks largely to the determined
energy and vision of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, the school was

17

OGLETHORPE COLLEGE 18

revived, chartered in 1913, and moved to its present location
on the northern edge of metropoHtan Atlanta. The cornerstone
of the first building was laid in 1 9 1 5 in a ceremony witnessed
by members of the classes of 1860 and 1861; symbolically,
thus, the old and the new were linked.

From then until his resignation in 1944, President Jacobs
became and remained the guiding spirit of the endeavor. He
developed a number of ideas and enterprises which brought
national, and even international, recognition to the school.
Most notable among these were the establishment of a campus
radio station as early as 1931, and the completion in 1940 of
the Crypt of Civilization to preserve for posterity a cross-
section of twentieth-century life.

Still a new era opened in the history of Oglethorpe in 1944
when Dr. Philip Weltner assumed the presidency and, with a
group of faculty associates, initiated a new and exciting ap-
proach to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe
Idea." As described more fully in a subsequent section, the
new departure was founded on the conviction that education
should encompass the twin aims of making a life and making
a living, and that toward these ends a program of studies
should be developed which made sense from first to last and
which meaningfully hung together.

The last twenty years of Oglethorpe's history have revolved
around the central issue of finding more effective means of
answering the challenge posed by these fundamental purposes.
At the same time, though the College remains sympathetic
toward all religions and encourages its students to affiliate with
a local church or synagogue of their own choosing, all formal
support from church bodies was discontinued. Today Ogle-
thorpe stands as a wholly private and non-sectarian institution
of higher learning.

In 1965 began still another chapter in the history of the
school. As part of its steadfast aim to become "a small col-
lege, superlatively good," the institution formally changed its
name from Oglethorpe University to Oglethorpe College a
change more precisely reflecting its nature as well as its pur-
poses. In addition, it adopted a reorganization of its academic
year from a system of quarters to one of three equal semesters,
effective with the fall term of 1965. Under the new trimester

19

HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE COLLEGE

system, the College will operate year-round, enabling students
to graduate in less than three calendar years if they choose to
do so.

Today, then, Oglethorpe stands on the threshold of a new
era in her history, determined to build an even more secure
academic structure on the foundations laid so patiently and so
well by those who have gone before in the one hundred and
thirty years since her creation.

THE COLLEGE HOME
OF THE PRESIDENT

THE OGLETHORPE IDEA

The Oglethorpe idea, in a few words, is to forge the strong-
est possible link between the "academic" and "practical," be-
tween "human understanding" and "know-how," between
"culture" and "proficiency," between past and present. We are
persuaded that there is ultimately no contradiction between
the concepts represented in each of these usually divorced
pairs. The liberal arts are practical arts; the cultured have no
quarrel with the truly proficient; human understanding is not
in a realm by itself and set apart from genuine know-how;
properly understood the past can instruct the present and
future.

Another way to interpret the Oglethorpe idea is to under-
stand what is common, from a point of view of higher educa-
tion, to the student's real needs and interests. There can be no
basic disagreement among educators and laymen about these
common elements. In summary they are to learn as much as
possible about the principles, forces, and laws influencing or
governing Nature, including human nature and human asso-
ciations; to learn to take account of these not only for their
own sake but for growth, guidance and direction for himself
and others; to express his deepest individuality in the work or
calling most appropriate to his talents; and to discover his
proper place, role, and function in the complex relationships
of modern living.

Perhaps a simpler way to put this is to say that work is not
an escape from living; living should not be an escape from
work. Education should therefore encompass the twin aims
of making a life and making a living. But there is more to
education than even the happiness and progress of the indi-
vidual. Inescapably he is part and parcel of society. He fulfills
himself by the measure in which he contributes to the happi-
ness and progress of his fellows. Education, as an institution
of society, has a social obligation. It cannot neglect either the
individual or the community without damage to both. The
social order at its best is best for the individual; the individual
at his best is best for society. The business of education is to
strive for this optimum.

What difference should an education make? There are peo-

20

21 THE OGLETHORPE STORY

pie, deficient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful.
They understand and get along well with their neighbors. They
are an influence for good in their community and earn a living
by honest effort. Any truly educated man displays the same
traits. The difference is in degree rather than in kind.

Whereas it is usual for people to understand their fellows,
how much wider should be the sympathies of the educated
man! His contacts go beyond the living and embrace the seers
of all the ages, who as his companions should inform his mind
and enlarge his vision.

With the onrush of the Atomic Age the social order becomes
of increasing concern. Democracy is the great unfinished item
of business on the agenda of civilization. Prejudice, ignorance,
and cynical indifference alike are dangers to a democratic so-
ciety. Where else than to the educated man should we look for
that broad intelligence which is capable of the long view that
personal advantage is irrevocably bound up with the general
good!

Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of
mastering rather than being mastered by the economic forces
at work in our world. Creative brains and individual initiative,
tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility, are the only
sources of payrolls compatible with a free society, an improv-
ing living standard, and a better way of life. Where else can we
look for this creative urge than to adequate education of quali-
fied talent!

We make no claim that formal education inevitably bestows
these benefits. We insist that it can. If that be true, how may
the mark be reached? We shall always have to remind ourselves
as teachers that education is a difficult art. The pitfalls we
would shun are hard to escape. Of all people, the teacher must
remain the most teachable. The quest for wisdom is never-
ending. We, too, must continually grow in order to stimulate
growth in those who come to us to learn. We shall also have
to remind ourselves that subjects are merely the means; the
objects of instruction are the persons taught. We must for-
ever be mindful that education, in order to be true to itself,
must be a progressive experience for the learner, in which
interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry is pursued to mastery,
and mastery at one point occasions new interests at others.

OGLETHORPE COLLEGE 22

The cycle is never closed, but is a spiral which always returns
upon itself at some higher level of insight. Growth in every-
thing which is human must remain the dominant objective for
the individual and for society.

We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes
sense from first to last, which hangs together, and which pro-
motes this desired result. Not only in vocational training but
also in the education of human personality, the materials of
instruction must have a beginning, point in a definite direction,
and prepare for all that ensues. We necessarily make provision
for and give scope to diversified talents in preparation for
careers as varied as commerce, industry, law, medicine, science,
education, literature, the fine arts, social welfare, and govern-
ment. But this much we all have in common: each man has to
live with himself and all have to live with their fellows. Living
in community, with human understanding, involves arts in
which we all are equally concerned.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THE TRIMESTER SYSTEM

Beginning with the fall term of 1965, Oglethorpe will in-
stitute the trimester system under which the academic year
will be organized into three equal semesters or terms of six-
teen weeks each. The fall semester begins in early October and
ends in January; the winter semester begins in February and
ends in May; and the summer semester, of equal length, be-
gins in June and ends in September.

Since the trimester schedule is closely related to the sched-
ule of high schools, preparatory schools, and other colleges,
and since most of the courses in Oglethorpe's basic program
are to be offered during each term, it is readily possible for
a student to enter the college at the beginning of any one of
the three. Moreover, the trimester system enables the student,
by attending full-time, to graduate in approximately three
years rather than the usual four, if he chooses to do so.

THE CURRICULUM

Under the trimester system, Oglethorpe's curriculum has
been redesigned so that all the courses carry a credit of three
or four semester hours each. For the full-time student, the
normal academic load will consist of five courses for each of
the eight terms.

Forty courses (or their equivalents for transfer students)
are necessary for graduation. Of these, twenty specified courses
comprise the core or general-education program required of all
students; they embrace the areas of English, history, foreign
languages, humanities, philosophy, government, economics,
international relations, mathematics, natural sciences, and be-
havioral sciences. The remaining twenty courses are selected
by the student, normally from a majors program and fields
of allied interest.

With certain variations for some programs, the student
ordinarily will spend his first four semesters completing the
core program and then, with the beginning of his junior year,
the last four completing the requirements for the majors pro-
gram he has selected. Presently, majors are offered in biology,

business administration, chemistry, economics, education, Eng-
lish, foreign languages, history, mathematics, physics, political
studies, pre-medicine, psychology, and sociology.

THE EVENING PROGRAM

As a service to the community, Oglethorpe maintains an
evening program throughout the year. A sizeable number of
the regular courses are given in the evening, thereby enabling
those who find it impossible to attend classes in the daytime
to work toward a college degree. Courses offered in the even-
ing are taught by either regular faculty members of the College
or by other quahfied instructors.

Inquiries concerning the nature of the program or the
courses offered during each semester should be addressed to
the Director of the Evening Program at the College.

CLASSES IN SESSION

ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION

Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed as candi-
dates for degrees students from all sections of this country as
well as from abroad. The Committee on Admissions selects
the applicants who present the strongest evidence of purpose,
maturity, scholastic ability, and potential for college work. In
arriving at its decision, the Committee considers the nature of
the student's high school program, the grades received, the
recommendations of counsellors and teachers, and the results
of aptitude tests.

The candidate for admission must present a satisfactory
high-school program which includes as a minimum four units
of English, three in mathematics and science, three in social
studies, and two in foreign languages. In addition he must
submit satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in-
cluding the writing sample, of the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board. It is to the candidate's advantage to take this test
as early as possible during his senior year in high school. De-
tails concerning the program can be obtained from high-school
counsellors, or by writing the C. E. E. B., Box 592, Princeton,
New Jersey.

The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the
material which must be submitted by the applicant; no appli-
cant will be considered until all of this material has been re-
ceived. Applications will be considered in order of completion,
and the applicant will be notified of the decision of the Com-
mittee on Admissions as soon as action has been taken.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM

The College invites those students who have taken the Ad-
vanced Placement examinations of the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board to submit their scores for possible considera-
tion toward college credit. The case of each candidate will be
judged upon its own merits.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

A limited number of applicants for transfer from other
recognized institutions of higher learning will be accepted by

27

OGLETHORPE COLLEGE 28

the College. They must follow the regular admissions pro-
cedures and produce evidence that they are in good standing
at the institution last attended.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

All correspondence concerning admission should be ad-
dressed to the Director of Admissions, Oglethorpe College,
Atlanta, Georgia. After receiving the application form, the
applicant should fill it out and return it with an application
fee of $10.00; this fee is not refundable. After he has received
notification of acceptance, he should forward an advance de-
posit of $50.00 by the date specified in his letter of acceptance.
This deposit is applicable toward his tuition charge, but it is
not refundable. In addition, an advance deposit of $25.00
must be made by the date specified in the letter of acceptance
by those desiring dormitory space. This deposit is applicable
against room charges for the term, but it is not refundable.

MAJORS PROGRAMS

In additional to completing the core program, students nor-
mally are expected, no later than the beginning of their junior
year, to choose a majors program and to fulfill the departmen-
tal regulations for that program. With some variation accord-
ing to professional departmental requirements, most students
will take the core program during their freshman and sopho-
more years, and a majors program during their junior and
senior years. *

The following are suggested programs of majors. In addition
to the required core program, most of them include three
levels of other courses: those prescribed for the major, directed
electives recommended as immediately related to the major,
and free electives allowed to enable the student to widen his
intellectual interests. Variations of each program are possible,
according to the particular needs of the student.

*During the transitional year of 1965-1966 it will not be possible to offer
all the elective courses listed; only those most immediately necessary to
serve the needs of students can be given at this time.

STUDENT LIFE

ORIENTATION

At the beginning of each semester new students will be
involved in an orientation program, under the general super-
vision of the Student Council. Orientation activities are planned
toward the end of introducing the student to both academic
and social life at Oglethorpe, thereby enabling him to feel at
home as soon as possible. Orientation group leaders from
among the upperclassmen serve as guides and counsellors dur-
ing the period. Following orientation, the student is then as-
signed to a faculty advisor who aids him in planning his
academic program and who seeks to assist him in other ways.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND DISCIPLINE

College life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of a
democratic community; government is mainly self-government.
Regarding students as responsible men and women, the Col-
lege keeps restrictions to the bare minimum necessary to pro-
mote self-discipline and sound learning.

The Student Council, consisting of officers elected by the
student body and the presidents of the four classes, is the
guiding and governing organization of student life at Ogle-
thorpe. Its main purpose is to serve the individual student.
The time and place of Student Council meetings are posted at
regular intervals; all students are urged to attend and parti-
cipate in the affairs of the student government.

At Oglethorpe the Honor System is an integral part of
college life. Students are on their honor to respect the regu-
lations of the College and to meet the requirements of their
academic work without unauthorized aids. The Honor System
is supervised by a student Honor Committee, acting with the
guidance of a faculty advisor and a student Honor Court.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Oglethorpe offers the worthy student many opportunities
for obtaining assistance in financing his undergraduate educa-
tion. These opportunities are provided under conditions which
give a reasonable guarantee to the applicants and the College

75

76 STUDENT LIFE

that they will go to those persons best able to benefit from
them.

The many sources of revenue made available to the Schol-
arship and Loan Committee include the Lowry Memorial
Scholarship Fund, the National Defense Student Loan Pro-
gram, the United Student Aid Loan Fund, the Atlas Finance
Company Scholarship, the Una Rivers Grants-in-Aid Fund,
and the athletic grants-in-aid program.

Oglethorpe also has available loans at small interest rates
through two educational loan institutions: the Tuition Plan,
Inc., and Educational Funds, Inc. These plans enable parents
to borrow money for tuition and other academic fees.

Other funds are made available to the Committee by in-
terested persons, groups, and business firms from time to time.

Except in the case of loans, all assistance funds are granted
by the Committee as outright gifts to the student in the form
of credits entered on the semester bills of the College.

In addition, because of our location in the surburbs of the
second fastest-growing city in America, students can very
easily obtain part-time work. There are also some oppor-
tunities on the campus for student employment in various jobs.

For further information, contact the Financial Aid Office,
Oglethorpe College.

ATHLETICS

In addition to a well-rounded program of intramural sports,
intercollegiate competition is carried on in soccer, basketball,
tennis, baseball, and rifle and pistol shooting. Students with
athletic skills are invited and urged to participate in any of
these.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Intramural Sports

New students are required to take at least two semesters of
physical education. A balanced and versatile program of intra-
mural sports operates the year round; spirited competition
among the students exists in touch football, volleyball, bad-
minton, ping-pong, basketball, shuffleboard, softball and tennis.

ALUMNI

When a student terminates his study after a minimum at-
tendance of one semester, he is considered an alumnus of the
College. As such, he and his fellow alumni comprise what
is known as the National Alumni Association of Oglethorpe
College.

The objectives of this organization are to promote the
interests of the College and to establish mutually beneficial
relations between it and its alumni.

The College maintains an alumni office to serve and to keep
contact with all of its alumni throughout the country and the
world. Four times a year this office sends a bulletin of affairs to
all alumni. Additionally, it keeps records and addresses of
alumni; organizes special alumni events; arranges the annual
Alumni Day; and performs many other services which help
to provide a liaison between the alumni and the College.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The College recognizes attendance at classes as the respon-
sibility of the student. Students are held accountable for all
work missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is de-
termined by each instructor for his own courses.

GRADES

At Oglethorpe a numerical system of grading is used. The
range of 70-100 represents passing work; any grade below 70
is regarded as a failure (though in most instances students
who receive between 60 and 69 in the first course of a two-
course sequence are allowed to continue in the second course
of the sequence). Students withdrawing from a course before
the end of the semester are given a "W" or a "WF", depending
upon the circumstances of the withdrawal. Students who do
not meet all the requirements of a given course are given an
"I" for incomplete at the end of the semester; if the require-
ments are met during the following semester, the "I" is re-
placed by a regular grade; if they are not met within this time,
the grade automatically becomes an "F".

MINIMUM ACADEMIC AVERAGE

Though the grade of 70 is regarded as passing, nevertheless
a student, in order to graduate from Oglethorpe, must compile
an over-all minimum average of 78. No student will be allowed
to graduate unless this minimum is met.

For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of mini-
mum averages has been established. Freshmen are required
to maintain cumulative averages of at least 76 in their course
work; sophomores, at least 77; juniors and seniors, at least 78.

PROBATION

Freshmen who fail to maintain a cumulative average of at
least 76, sophomores of at least 77, juniors and seniors of at
least 78 are put on warning for the following semester. If dur-
ing that semester they do not substantially improve their

82

83 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

scholastic average, they will be excluded from the College.
Those who do achieve the required minimum will be removed
from warning.

NORMAL ACADEMIC LOAD

A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of five
courses each semester, giving the student generally a total of
fifteen to eighteen semester hours each term.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Minimum requirements for graduation consists of the fol-
lowing: forty courses totaling at least 122 hours; a cumulative
grade average of at least 78; at least two semesters of physical
education; and the last four semesters to be spent as a reg-
istered student at Oglethorpe.

Oglethorpe offers three degrees to those meeting the neces-
sary requirements: Bachelor of Arts; Bachelor of Science; and
