Founders' Day March 18 Wednesday Spring Term Begins May 8 Friday Senior Examinations Begin May 16 Saturday Meeting of Board of Directors May 17 Sunday Commencement May 18 Monday Final Examinations Begin May 23 Saturday Close of Session THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY* BOARD OF FOUNDERS The details of the management of Oglethorpe Uni- versity are handled by an Executive Committee of twenty-one men. The property is legally kept in trust by a Board of Trustees of seven men. The General Board of Directors meets at least once each year, at commencement time, on the university campus near Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all mat- ters of large importance in the University, and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by them and from their number, and which at- tends to the details of management of the Institution between the meetings of the Board of Directors. Each member of the Board represents a gift of two thou- sand dollars or more to the University, or an annual gift of not less than $100.00. Thus there is no one associated with the ownership or control of the institution in an important capacity who is not making a personal sacrifice in its behalf. In many cases they represent groups, societies, churches or families who combined their gifts in the founding of the University. Prospective students will not fail to note the quality of these men, representing the thousands of men and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consum- mated this fine purpose. As representatives and gov- ernors of the Institution they will take pleasure in giving any inquirers information as to the aims, and progress of the University. * The list on the following pages is corrected to March 1, 1929.

After a while the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested the building of a similar institution under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began with the Spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual training school, and this, in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institu- tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de- nominational college or university between the Atlan- tic and Pacific Oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institutions which were born after her in this vast empire. The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton." In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the names of men who are world-famous. Among these were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and ^ 2 S -si S o II Oglethorpe University 17 scientist; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent adminis- trator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of Old Oglethorpe that after three years of in- struction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1860 and that he was a tutor to her sons un- til the spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars. Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked to a friend that the greatest intellectual impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Ogle- thorpe through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent alumni include governors, justices, moderators of the General Assembly, discoverers, in- ventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb laborers for the highest ideals of humanity. Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg," for during the war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as bar- racks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive the institution in the 70's and to lo- cate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster made the adventure impossible and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of strug- gle the doors were closed for the second time. Only seventeen years have passed since the present movement to refound the university began and they have been years of financial disaster and utter tur- moil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of the in- stitution have passed the sum of one and a half mil- lion dollars as the result of unusual and self-sacrific- ing liberality on the part of over five thousand peo- ple. The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engrav- 18 Oglethorpe University ed upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the Hand of God She Has Risen from the Dead.) THE OPENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1916 Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the Fall of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife she rose to breathe the airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of gran- ite, trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1916, when her first class gathered on her beautiful campus on Peachtree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in the country has been formed. The work of raising funds and new construction goes steadily on. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disas- ter that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world to gape. THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like a romance. Beginning only sixteen years ago with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined to see that their city had a uni- versity, as well as a band of far-seeing educational leaders, who wished to erect a certain high type of institution in this splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; of how the story has been told in cities, towns and country all over the South from Galveston, Tex., to Char- lottesville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the At- Oglethorpe University 19 lanta campaigns; all this is well known. Since that time the same wonderful record has been maintained. There are now something like five thousand men, wo- men and children all of whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to $400,000.00. They are the Founders' Club which is carrying the movement forward so splendidly. HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY An idea of the quality of construction and design of the institution may be gained from the accompanying illustrations. (See Frontispiece.) It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful universities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beau- tiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy variegated slates. The interior construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The first building is the one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's eye view. The building, given by Dr. and Mrs. Lupton and their son, our beloved benefactors, is the one with the tower just opposite on the left of the entrance. Lowry Hall stands completed at the end of the main axis directly in front of the entrance. The total cost of construction of the buildings shown in the above design with the landscape work required, will be approximately $3,000,000. The building plan will be followed out in its entirety. HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the institution about which the men who are founding 20 Oglethorpe University Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of their university. To that end they have resolved to maintain a faculty and a curricu- lum that will be of the highest possible quality, their thought being excellence in every department. They will take the superb traditions of the old Oglethorpe and add the best of this present age to them. Doubt- less Oglethorpe will be a big university some day, but she is already a great one, and it is greatness rather than bigness which her founders crave most for her. FOUNDERS' BOOK In the Founders' Room at Oglethorpe there will be a Book containing the name of every man, woman and child who aided in the founding of the University, arranged alphabetically, by states. That Book will be accessible to every student and visitor who may want to know who it was from his or her home that took part in the doing of this, the greatest deed that has been attempted for our sons and daughters in this generation. The Book is not yet complete, be- cause the work is not yet finished, and each month is adding many to this roll of honor, whose names will thus be preserved in the life and archives of Ogle- thorpe University forever. CLOCK AND CHIMES In the tower of the new building given by Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes, with two dials and night illumination, the gift of Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. It is interesting to note that this is the only tower clock in Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus in Georgia. On the largest of the bells, which weighs Oglethorpe University 21 a ton, is the following inscription. We were given by Grace Josephine Lesh That the hours at Oglethorpe Might be filled with Music and Harmony. THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University, realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty whose spiritual and intellectual equipment should be capable of satisfying the tremendous de- mand of a really great institution of learning, has spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men who would not only possess that first requisite of a teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two other requisites of almost equal importance: power of imparting their ideals and knowledge, and intellec- tual acquirements adequate for their department. The most important element in education is the creat- ing in the student of an intense yearning for and de- light in the Good, the True and the Beautiful, and the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is the example set before him by the Faculty. The ob- ject of an Oglethorpe education is to furnish the stu- dent with deeper thoughts, finer emotions and nobler purposes to the end that he may more clearly under- stand, more fully enjoy and more excellently behave in the world. The University now has a corps of teachers unsurpassed in any institution of its size and age. The names are given in the order of their election. 22 Oglethorpe University THORNWELL JACOBS A.

THE PETREL is a weekly paper published by the students in the interest of Athletics and other stu- dent activities. Bryant Arnold, Editor. THE YAMACRAW is the name of the student an- nual. It is edited and financed by the student body, as is also The Petrel, the college paper. THE WESTMINSTER MAGAZINE is a quarterly publication designed to convey to the friends of the institution, something of the literary life of their uni- versity. It is under the editorial care of the presi- dent and Dr. James Routh. Oglethorpe has held intercollegiate debates with Mercer University, Auburn Polytechnic, the Univer- sity of the South at Sewanee, Emory University, Lou- isiana State University, Princeton University and Georgia School of Technology with eminent success. IMMEDIATE PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of Oglethorpe University is to offer courses of study leading to the higher academic and professional degrees, under a Christian environment, and thus to train young men who wish to become spe- 30 OOLETHORPB UNIVERSITY cialists in professional and business life and teach- ers in our High Schools and Colleges, and to supply the growing demand for specially equipped men in every department of human activity. Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President, in order that they may be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are be- ing provided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remark- able laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for observation, inspection and investigation. A glance at the frontispiece of the catalogue, show- ing Bird's Eye View of the University, gives the stu- dent an idea of the quality of the buildings and the lay out of the campus. This campus consists of ap- proximately one hundred and seventy-five acres of land, not including an eighty acre lake which adjoins the northwestern corner of the campus. It is located on Peachtree Road, and immediately in front of the en- trance is the terminus of the Oglethorpe University street car line, and an attractive little stone station of the Southern Railway main line between Atlanta and Washington. The first building to be located on the campus, the Administration Building, contains the dining room in the basement, chemistry and physics lecture rooms and laboratories and the Bursar's of- fice and private apartments for young women attend- ing the college on the ground floor; the hospital and dormitories on the second and third floors. Lupton Hall consists of three separate structures which, com- bined, contain the library, President's office, class Oglethorpe University 81 rooms, dormitories, Assembly Hall seating approxi- mately six hundred, equipped also as a school theatre for the presentation of student dramas, and in the basement basketball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers and quarters for the University Press. This latter is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino- type machine and a couple of smaller presses with a number of type stands and other printing equipment given by a warm friend of the college. Lowry Hall houses the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce. It is largely a replica of old Corpus Christi College, Oxford, the alma mater of James Edward Oglethorpe. It contains class rooms and dormitories and will stand as a perpetual memorial to the generosity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Emma Markham Lowry. 82 Oglethorpe University ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, Business Administration, Literature and Journalism, And Education The requirement for entrance to the Academic Schools of Oglethorpe University is either a certifi- cate of qualification from an accredited High School, or an examination on the equivalent preparation. The candidates must present at least three units in Eng- lish and three units in mathematics. In the School of Liberal Arts, three units of Latin must also be of- fered; in the School of Science two years of language work are required. A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting ap- proximately a quarter of a full year's work. The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully acquainted with the educational situation in the South and have not lost sight of the frequent insuf- ficiencies of preparation of prospective students brought about by inadequate high school facilities. It is the purpose of the University to make its degrees represent high attainment, but to furnish such facil- ities for students that this attainment will be fairly simple and easy. It is not our purpose by the adop- tion of specially high entrance requirements to drive away any students from our institution. Adequate arrangements will be made for aiding any student who may be behind in his preparation in so far as such aid is consistent with the collegiate require- ments. Oglethorpe University 33 LIST OF ENTRANCE UNITS The fifteen units may be selected from the following list: Composition and Rhetoric 1^4 English Literature li/^ Algebra to Quadratics 1 Algebra through Binomial Theorem i/^ or 1 Plane Geometry _ . 1 Solid Geometry . V2 Trigonometry V2 Latin Grammar and Composition 1 Caesar, 4 books 1 Cicero, 6 orations 1 Vergil, 6 books 1 Greek 1 or 2 or 3 German ..l 1 or 2 French 1 or 2 Spanish 1 Ancient History 1 Medieval and Modern History 1 English History 1 American History 1 Civil Government 1/2 or 1 Physiography i^ or 1 Physiology % Physics 1 Chemistry ^ 1 Botany i^ or 1 Zoology 14 or 1' Agriculture 1 or 2 Manual Training 1 or 2 Commercial Arithmetic i/^ Commercial Geography 14 Military Training (where given under officer appointed by the Gov't.)-- 1 34 Oglethorpe University The President of the University will gladly answer any inquiries as to further details of entrance re- quirements, upon request. An application blank will be found at the close of the catalogue. It is well for the prospective student to apply as early as possible. A blank for High School Certificate may be obtained by writing to the Registrar. Students who wish credit for college work done elsewhere must file with the Registrar a certificate from the institution in which the work was done. The institution must be one that is recognized by the Faculty of Oglethorpe University, and the work must be satisfactory to the professor of that department. SPECIAL STUDENTS Students over twenty years of age may be admit- ted for special study upon satisfying the Faculty as to their ability to do the work of the classes which they wish to enter. Such students may become reg- ular only by absolving all entrance requirements. Persons under twenty years of age desiring to pur- sue special courses not leading to a degree may do so as unregistered students upon the passage of an exam- ination or examinations satisfactory to the Dean of the department in which the work is to be done. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE- MENTS FOR DEGREES In the session of 1929-30 Oglethorpe University will offer courses in the undergraduate Classes of six schools leading to the customary academic degrees. The degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in the Classics will be conferred upon those students satisfactorily completing a four years' course as outlined below, Oglethorpe UNtvERSiXY 35 based largely on the study of the "Humanities." The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Science will be conferred upon those students who satisfactorily complete a four years' course largely in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Literature will be given to those students who complete a course including work in languages, literature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Commerce will be con- ferred upon those students who satisfactorily com- plete a full four years' course in studies relating par- ticularly to business administration and industrial life. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will be conferred upon those students who complete the studies in the School of Education. The Degree of Bachelor of Arts in Secretarial Preparation will be conferred upon those students who complete the studies in that School. By a careful study of the courses outlined below, the student will be easily able to make a choice most suitable to his tastes and probable future life. In general, it may be suggested that those stu- dents preparing to enter such professions as the min- istry or law, will choose the B. A. course in Classics; those looking forward to medicine, dentistry and other scientific work, the B. A. course in Science; those ex- pecting to enter the literary and journalistic field, the B. A. course in Literature, and those who intend to spend their lives in the business world, the B. A. course in Commerce or Secretarial Preparation; those who expect to teach, the B. A. course in Education. While each of these courses is so shaped as to in- fluence the student towards a certain end, colored largely by the type of studies, yet each course will be found to include such subjects of general culture 36 Oglethorpe University as are necessary to the education of a life as distin- guished from a living. Graduates of Standard Normal Schools or Junior Colleges are admitted to the Junior class. GENERAL REGULATIONS A student who fails on two-thirds of his work for two successive terms, will be required to withdraw from the University. Back work, in a required subject, must be made up within the next session; otherwise the student will be excluded from the class to which he would naturally belong. SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in The Languages This course is intended to encourage especially the study of the languages, ancient and modern. No Latin is required for entrance. The numbers after the subjects are explained on page 53. Those under 'hours' designate the number of recitations per week.

The total number of hours required is 18, by election 9 more can be taken. It is also possible so to group requirements and electives that the following hours are available: English 6 to 15 Mathematics 3 to 12 Science 12 to 27 Foreign Language 6 to 15 History 6 to 15 It is possible to concentrate on Education and one line of studies or Education and two lines. This will enable those wishing to teach, to prepare for teach- ing. It will also be noticed that the course in Edu- cation offers a grouping that gives one a good gen- eral education even if teaching is not contemplated. In none of the six Schools is a student permitted to take more subjects than listed in the catalogue unless his general average for the preceding term shall be as high as 90 in which case one other subject may be taken, or 95 in which case two other subjects may be taken. Substitutions for required subjects can be made only on the written permission of the Departmental Dean. A minimum of twelve year-hours work must be done at Oglethorpe to obtain any degree in any department. Any student absent from class more than one-third of the total of recitations for any one term is thereby rendered in- eligible to take the examination on that term's work. Ogleti'horpe University 43 THE HONORS COURSE AT OGLETHORPE The Honors Course at Oglethorpe University has been planned to fill a very definite need of present day education. With the elective system in operation everywhere and with the multiplication of schools and departments and courses in our American uni- versites, the college student is frequently bewildered as to what subjects he should choose and what courses to pursue. Specialization also has gone so far in our institutions that young men, after studying hard for four years in one department or another, find that they have omitted many objects which, among the best educated, are considered essential to full culture. The President of the University has, therefore, pre- pared, and the Faculty and Executive Committee of the University have approved, the following course of study to meet this situation and supply the need aris- ing from it. The courses offered are designed to lay a satisfactory foundation for the understanding and enjoyment of life. While they adequately prepare a student for any of the professions, in so far as col- lege work can do so, and for business life as well, yet they are not exclusively utilitarian. They are intend- ed to develop and sustain a great soul, to acquaint him with the fundamental lines of progress of the human race and place him in position to interpret life to his fellowmen. The diflliculty of doing this adequately without in- cluding a larger number of studies and, therefore, more hours of work than the average student can successfully carry, is obvious. The course is designed only for the student whose preparation and ability are both above the average. In order to insure this con- dition a passing grade and general average not lower 44 Oglethorpe University than 90 is necessary for its successful prosecution. Upon those students who complete the entire four years with a general average for the four years be- tween 90 and 95, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Mag- no Cum Honore, is conferred. Upon any student com- pleting the course with a general average of 95 or more, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Summo Cum Honore, is conferred. As the Honors Course requires for its pursuit un- usual mental ability and moral character, applicants must present evidence of exceptional preparation and superior mental tests. To this end, the President will accept for the course only those students who can qualify for the prescribed requirements. If at the end of the first term, any student in the Honors Course fails to make a grade of 90 or more he will be required to transfer to another course. It is well known to those best acquainted with the progress of education in the South that even the best of our Southern colleges and universities are approx- imately one year behind the best schools of the East and West. It is a regrettable fact that the Southern student who has finished the freshman work is just about ready to enter the freshman class in the best Eastern institutions. This is not the fault of our col- leges but of insufficient preparation in our high schools, and while this condition of affairs is being improved it will be many years before it is completely remedied. This course, which an earnest and intel- ligent student may take in five years and a brilliant student in four years, will offset this difference and will make it possible for our Southern boys and girls to acquire the same amount of information and do the same amount of work at college that is done by Oglbthorpe Univikbity 46 those graduating from the best institutions of the East and West. No substitutions or electives are allowed. The course must be taken as scheduled and in the order, by years, as stated. Students may, however, take some of the courses of the freshman year in the sum- mer term following the freshman year, and similarly for the other years' work. The time allowed for the completion of the work is not less than four years and not more than five. Failure to successfully com- plete the course does not in any way disqualify the student from securing full credits toward other de- grees offered for all work successfully completed. He may then be graduated in any of the departments of the college as he may elect on the basis of such work as he has done. The courses themselves are as fol- Jows, beginning with the Freshman year. Physics 111, 211 B English Ill- History 3 Latin 111 Physiology 111 1 A course in Latin and Bible 111 (a study of the Greek Mythology and Old Testament) 2 Etymology 2 A modern language 111 3 Physical Culture Mathematics 111 3 25 The course in freshman mathematics guarantees a reasonably adequate equipment in that department. The course in Greek and Latin Etymology is designed to supply the student with a familiarity with scien- tific terms which he will need during the remainder of his college work, not only, but throughout his whole life. Lists of common scientific terms are studied and their derivation explained. The course of English acquaints the student with the form and structure of the language that he speaks, and drills him in the effective use of it. The course in Latin 46 Oglethobpe University begins at the beginning. The student is taught to read Latin as rapidly as possible. Any student who has already had in a standard high school as many as two years in Latin may substitute another sub- ject instead of this course from the list which fol> lows. The course in physics needs no explanation. The course in history begins with the first civilization in the city-states of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley and is a foundation for other historical studies that fol- low. The course in physiology is designed to give the student an adequate idea of the house in which he lives during the remainder of his days. The course in the Old Testament runs parallel partly with that of freshman history and lays the foundation for his moral and ethical thinking. In addition to the above, the student is required to take regular work in phy- sical culture. [n the Sophomore year, the courses are as follows : Qoars Hoars English 211 3 New Testament 211 2 Latin 211 3 Bookkeeping 3 Modern Language 211 3 Economics 111 3 Biology 121 5 Physical Culture History . . 3 - 2o The study of English is continued and the same modern language that was elected for the freshman year must be continued in the sophomore year. The course in Latin covers Caesar, first term, selections from Vergil, second term, some of the Odes of Horace in the third term. The course in Biology makes it possible for the student to understand the life pro- cesses of the earth. The course in history covers the story of Greece and Rome. The course in the New Testament is a study of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, without a knowledge of which no man Oglbthorpe University 47 can be considered an educated man. The course in economics is fundamental to any conception of the business and political world. To this is added the work in bookkeeping and elementary accounting which will enable our student to interpret the statis- tical part of any enterprise or business with which he may be connected. To these, also, is added the work in physical culture. The courses in the Junior year are as follows : " Geology 3 English 3 Psychology 3 Modern Language 3 Sociology 3 Chemistry 121 5 Physical Culture History 3 "^ Commercial Law 3 26 In the Junior year, the course in English broadens still further the student's knowledge of literature. The second modern language is taken up. The work in chemistry interprets to him the constitution of the world in which he is living. The course in history covers the story of continental Europe in its broad outlines. The work in Commercial Law lays the foun- dations for intelligent management of his business af- fairs. A year in geology, including a short review of paleontology, reveals to him the marvelous story of the earth on which he is living. A year in Psychology acquaints him with the processes of his own soul, and the work in Sociology orientates him with respect to society. To these also is added the work in physical culture. In the Senior year, the courses are as follows: Honrs English 3 Anthropology 3 History 3 Marketing 3 Modem Language 3 Cosmic History 1 Political Science 3 Physical Culture 1 Astronomy 3 History of Art 3 26 48 Oglethorpe University The work for the seniors in English, while it may- vary its subject from time to time, is designed to widen our student's knowledge of the finest creative work in his language. The course in history covers the story of England and America. The second mod- ern language begun in the junior year is continued. A year is spent in the study of civics and politics to prepare our student for an intelligent exercise of his duty as a citizen. A year in astronomy gives to him a better grasp of the universe and bestows upon him a sense of direction and orientation with respect to his environment. His work in anthropology covers the whole long story of the development of man. The work in the history of art includes architecture, sculp- ture, painting and music, and by acquainting him with the great works of the past enables him to enjoy and create art during his life time. The study of market- ing introduces him to the whole vast field of distri- buting the products of the world's industry. To this is added the course in Cosmic History, a sort of in- troduction to life by the President of the college ; and the work in physical exercise. The following special courses may be chosen in lieu of such subjects in the freshman year as the student may have had in his preparatory work: Advanced work in Science Banking and allied subjects Business Problems Mathematics Third year in any language Ethics History of Philosophy Principles and Philosophy of Education. '^^^^^'^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Entrance to Lupton Hall. Above the doorway is engraved the following inscription. "Till this I learned, that he who buildeth ivell Is greater than the structure that he rears, And loiser he who learns that Heaven hears Than all the ivordy wisdoyns letters spell." Oglethorpe Unia/ersity 49 Students in the Honors Course whose general aver- age for five successive terms is as high as 93 will re- ceive the Coat of Arms Sweater, these conditions be- ing the same as those outlined for all students at the college. The University recognizes the fact that a vast ac- cumulation of information even though it be organiz- ed by a well-trained intellect is utterly incomplete and even dangerous unless the whole is controlled by a fine moral purpose and utilized in excellent personal con- duct. It is a tradition of the University that a close association should be maintained between education and righteousness, a fixed alliance of morality with enlightenment. We feel that to furnish the highest intellectual training to liars, thieves, adulturers, or crooks would be calamitous to society whose leaders and examples they would be. All Honor Students at Oglethorpe, therefore, are required to observe the following laws: First, the law of personal honesty, forbidding all cheating on examinations, all thefts, minor and ma- jor. The law of personal truthfulness, which forbids all deceit of every kind whatsoever and particularly in a form of misrepresentation or lying. The law of personal purity which commands perfect continence. The law of loyalty which aligns the student with all that is best in the traditions of his Alma Mater and pledges his active support thereto, above any sub- sidiary college organization such as societies, frater- nities, clubs and others. This covers also abstention so Oglethorpe University from all forms of hazing, and a pledge of his support to the faculty in preventing same. The law of self-control which, while partly covered in the law of personal purity, also includes all forms of drunkenness, gambling, and similar lapses from the highest ideals of the moral law. The law of reverence: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain." No student who violates the above laws may con- tinue as an honor student at Oglethorpe University. At the close of the student's course, after he has won either the magno cum honore or the summo cum honore grade he will also be presented by the Presi- dent with a medallion of solid gold on which are em- blazoned the Coat of Arms of the University and her seal. GRADUATE SCHOOL It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to de- velop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering courses in all departments leading to the Master's de- gree. In supplying this need, which has for a long while been acutely felt in the South, the management of the University will be content with only the very highest grade of work and facilities. Courses leading to the Master's degree in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate department heading. This degree is based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved in- stitution. The candidate must have an aggregate of Oglethorpe University 51 fifteen hours of graduate work, with at least two Pro- fessors; twelve hours must be done with Oglethorpe. In addition a thesis is required. But the degree is not guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A cer- tain amount of work must be accomplished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty. During the past two years the University has established several cen- ters for study in the city of Atlanta. More than fifty of the Atlanta teachers have been enrolled in these courses. At each center as much as six hours' work per week has been done, this making possible the at- tainment of an incompleted Bachelor's or Master's degree. This opportunity will be continued during the next year. In this connection, the prospective student will be interested in learning that all Professors chosen as the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained the highest academic degree offer- ed in that department. This fact is mentioned in or- der to indicate the earnest determination of the Board of Directors of the University that her Fac- ulty shall include only men of the highest intellectual attainment as well as men of great teaching power and strong personal character. The President of the University will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be of- fered. PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES Students who are contemplating the profession of law, medicine or dentistry and who do not desire to study for an academic degree, are allowed to take such work as will prepare them for entrance to profes- B2 Oglethorpe University sional schools. In addition to the required high school units for college entrance, professional students must complete one or more years of college work, accord- ing to the requirements of the institution that they are planning to enter. The attention of the prospec- tive student, however, should be called to the fact that each year finds it more necessary for the profes- sional man to have a thorough foundation for his pro- fessional studies, and the professional schools are be- coming more strict in their requirements for entrance. Particularly is this the case in medicine where the best colleges require a diploma from a standard col- lege for entrance. Having this in mind Oglethorpe University may discontinue its two year pre-med- ical course and we strongly advise our students of medicine to have their college diploma safely in hand before they begin their professional studies. The course which we recommend for them is that leading to Bachelor of Arts in Science, outlined on page 37. As a suggestion for those students who plan to enter law school and dental college, undertaking a two-year pre-professional course, the following out- liv^e of studies is recommended: PRE-LAW Required subjects: Elective subjects: Hoars Boors Political Science 6 Law 3 Economics 6 Bus.

In the endeavor to give to the graduates of the Uni- versity a course that will co-ordinate the knowledge they have obtained of such subjects as Biology, Ge- ology, Paleontology, etc., with their work in Bible, Ethics and Philosophy, the President of the Univer- sity will meet the Senior Class one hour per week, Tuesday, at 10:30, in a seminar covering a story of human life following the broad outlines of Astron- omy, Geology, Paleontology, Embryology, Anthropol- ogy and Archaeology. The course closes with a study of the first ten chapters of Genesis in relation to mod- ern discoveries. It is especially designed to give the graduates of Oglethorpe University a conception of the harmony between religion and modern science and is required of all Seniors. It is believed that this work of co-ordination of modern science with relig- ion can best be done in the senior class, to the end that in harmonizing the truths learned their faith may not be unsettled, *In this numbering, the hundreds indicate the year (Fresh- man, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year), the tens coordinate courses, the units the terms.

By the generosity of Thomas Stacy Capers, the well-known telescope of Dr. James Stacy has become the property of the Uni- versity. It is a six-inch refracting instrument with a focal length of ninety inches. It was formerly the property of the uncle of the donor who was an alum- nus of the old Oglethorpe and is named in honor of them both. BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY The course in English Bible extends over two years ; it is required for the B. A. degree in all five depart- ments, and must be pursued by every under-graduate student. The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the second to the New Testament, together with the in- tervening period. The study will include the mastery of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of Oglethorpe University 66 each book, and such other matters as are required for the proper understanding of the work. It will be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as mere history or literature. The aim will be to im- part such a knowledge of the subject as every intelli- gent man should possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and profit. The effort will be made to give the students the proper defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the objections of unbelievers.

THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in Education Professor Gaertner Professor Burrows The school of Education is both an undergraduate and also a graduate school.

THE SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE Perhaps the most remarkable single development in the modern educational world is the possession by our colleges and universities of complete control of gS Oglhthorpe University the greatest of all sports. American college football is the most interesting, most exciting, most manly, most instructive and most profitable game ever play- ed by men. It, more than any other, furnishes to its devotees something of the moral equivalent of war, and such a hold has it taken on the public that they pour out their tens of thousands of dollars to witness inter-collegiate games in vast stadia and bowls erect- ed largely for the purpose at a cost reaching into the millions. It is a momentous thing for the aca- demic world to have control of the American equiv- alent of the Olympic games and the contests of the arena, and as we watch the never ceasing enlarge- ment of interest, finance, equipment and importance of this part of college work it must be perfectly ap- parent that the very life of a college depends and will more and more depend upon its method of handling this fact which is at once a challenge and an oppor- tunity. And, hand in hand with football, go baseball, bas- ket-ball, boating, track, and indeed the whole physical well-being of the vast American student-body. Passing by as somnolent those colleges that side- step the fact by denying their students the privilege of intercollegiate sports and those that permissively decree a Students' Athletic Association which as- sumes control of coach, games, and often of "Faculty Directors of Athletics," we come to those institu- tions that face the situation with wide open eyes. The attitude of Oglethorpe University to all ath- letics is based upon the recognition of the physical training of the human body as a college study. It is presumed that a matter of such overwhelm- ing importance to college life as athletics and of such transcendent interest to the public that it commands Oglbthorpb University 89 their time and purses at will, is a matter worth study- ing seriously and deserving to be ranked with Greek and Poultry Keeping. Therefore Oglethorpe University has founded her School of Physical Culture. Its purpose is two-fold: To train, protect and de- velop the bodies of all the students of the University and to offer a special school where those who deserve it may receive special training, equipping them for positions as Physical Directors in Y. M. C. A.'s, in the Army, and in other schools, colleges and univer- sities. As a school for the special preparation of students for positions as physical directors and coaches in Y. M. C. A.'s, the Army and other schools and univer- sities, a regular curriculum has been arranged offer- ing instruction in the following subjects, the comple- tion of which will lead to an appropriate certificate or degree. 1. Physiology A first-year course in the study of the human body, one hour per week Fall, Winter Spring and Summer Terms. Required of all Fresh- men. Prerequisite for all courses enumerated below.

Arts and Science Group Comprising such electives from courses offered in the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Literature, and Commerce as may be elected to complete requirements of S. I. A. A., for eligibility in intercollegiate games. An appropriate letter will be given all students making the University team in any of the above classes, 3-8, inclusive. Every human being should be taught to play with his fellow-beings. Every student should have daily exercise. These two simple but fundamental axioms are the basis for all v,^ork in this department. Oglethorpe University 91 The munificent gift of fifty thousand dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance to Oglethorpe Univer- sity for an athletic field has made possible the im- mediate inauguration of this plan, which is founded upon the study from a college standpoint of psychol- ogy hygiene, sanitation, first-aid work, etc. It fur- ther emphasizes the necessity of careful medical supervision of all athletics and the adaptation to each individual student of special forms of exercise. One of the most important features is the requiring of every student to take some form of physical ex- ercise daily under proper medical or tutorial guid- ance. In this way those who need it most would be most advantaged, and the chief failure of the athletic program of our average American college would be obviated; for it is a notorious fact that most of our institutions develop a small number of trained ath- letes in football, baseball, basket-ball, etc., while the great mass of students do little more than sit on the bleachers and yell. And the building of the new athletic field given by Mr. and Mrs. Hermance makes possible the inaugura- tion at Oglethorpe of a complete system of physical culture for all students. It will include not only the great athletic features such as football, baseball, bas- ket-ball, etc., but also many interesting track exer- cises, discus and javelin throwing, jumping, vaulting and, in fact, all of the various numbers to be found at our intercollegiate track meets. It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University as quickly as circumstances may permit, to enter, and, in addition, to develop a strong boating crew on Silver Lake, The University has been especially fortunate in enjoying the services of Mr. Frank B. Anderson, one 92 Oglethorpe University of the best known coaches in the South, who has had charge of Athletics at Oglethorpe University and who has been advanced to the directorship of the depart- ment of physical culture. Mr. x\nderson has merited and won not only a great reputation as a coach, but as a clean, fine friend of young men, and there is no man in the whole of America more loved by his boys. We are especially fortunate also in being able to announce that Mr. Harry Robertson, famous ail- American football star, will coach our football team and teach Courses Nos. 2 and 4. The University, of course, is proud of his record and happy in the know- ledge that our boys will have as their coach a man who is an expert in that department with hardly an equal in this country; and those of us who have charge of the moral and mental life of the University, feel especially happy in having at the head of this fascinating department of our work, a splendid out- standing man whose personal influence with the stu- dents will mean so much in the building of character and the enforcing of every moral and religious pre- cept. It is not going too far to say that the teams at Oglethorpe will be as well coached next year and thereafter as any teams on the American continent, for there are no two finer men at the head of athletics, whether it be as coaches or as men, than the two who head this department at Oglethorpe. Other instructors will be added as this work may require. SUMMER SESSION The summer term of Oglethorpe University meets the requirements of regular students who desire to speed up their courses or make up work that is un- satisfactory, as also the large number of students in Oglethorpe University 93 the down town courses or teachers working toward some degree. In order to avoid getting parts of courses, students will not take six subjects, reciting three times a week as in the winter, but will take two or three subjects, each for nine hours a week, one hour and a half each day. This intensive specializing will enable each student to complete two full length winter courses in the sum- mer term. Three summers are thus equivalent to a college year. All summer courses are credited toward the attain- ment of a degree, and afford a convenient way to push up by one year the date of graduation. The down town students can do more than the work usually done in the extension courses during the year. It can be so planned that a teacher in or near Atlanta can in twelve calendar months finish the regular year of work. Graduates of standard normal schools or Junior Colleges are admitted to Junior standing. For these the completion of thirty two hours' work obtains the A. B. degree in Education. For the A. M. degree, graduates of recognized colleges are admitted and the degree requirement is fifteen hours and a thesis.. For details as to courses to be offered, write to the University. EXPENSES The tuition for the first six weeks is $50.00, For the remainder of the term $32.50. Board and room can be obtained for $35 to $40 per month. 94 Oglethorpe University GRADUATION At the close of the full summer term a graduation exercise will be held for those completing the work of either the A. B. or A. M. degree. FACILITIES The library, the swimming pool, indoor basket-ball courts, tennis grounds, and the like will be kept open for the use of summer students. UNIVERSITY EXPENSES Board and Room Rent The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are the safest and most comfortable of cognate insti- tutions in the South. All the permanent buildings of the University will be like those now finished, which are believed to be absolutely fireproof, being con- structed of steel, concrete and granite with parti- tions of brick and hollow tile. The prices named below are based upon three grades of rooms. The first of these comprises the entire third floor of the Administration building, the third floor of Lupton Hall, and the second and third floors of Lowry Hall, divided into individual rooms, with general toilet and bath room on the same floor. Each room contains a lavatory furnishing hot and cold water. The second grade is that of the second floor of the Administration building and is composed of suites of rooms, each suite containing a bedroom, bath and study. The price charged includes first-class board, steam heat, electric lights, water and janitor's service, and all rooms are furnished adequately and substantially. Every room in the dormitories contains ample closet space. The rooms are large, airy, safe and comfortable. OOLBTHORPH UNIVESWITY M The furniture is of substantial quality and is ap- proximately the same for all rooms, including chif- fonier, study-table, single bed, spring and mattress for each student. Room linen and bed clothing will be furnished by the student. Applications for rooms should be filed at once. For reservation of room inclose $5.00 reser- vation fee, to be credited on first payment. The expenses at Oglethorpe University are made as low as the quality of instruction, of rooming ac- commodations and of table fare will permit. No fees such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent, athletic, etc.,, are charged. To Day Students the only charge made is that of tuition which is $82.50 per term, as covered by the college calendar. For students boarding in the dormitories of the University the following charges are made: Administration Building, third floor; Lupton Hall, third floor; and Lowry Hall third floor $190.00 per term. Lowry Hall, second floor $192.50 per term. Administration Building, second floor, $210.00 per term. These figures include board, room rent, tuition and all college fees, even to football, baseball, basketball and Players* club tickets. All University charges are payable quarterly in ad- vance except by special arrangement. For absences no rebate is made on board for less than one week, nor on room rent and tuition for less than one term. No rebate is made on absences caused by temporary sus- pension by action of the faculty. All Freshmen, other than day students and young women, are required to room on the campus except upon the written request 96 Oglethorpe University of their parents or guardians. It will be observed that the total cost for the entire year, including tuition, table board and room rent, heat, light, water and janitor service and all other college dues ranges from $570.00 per year of approximately eight and a half months, (three terms) upward according to room- ing accommodations. The student should bring his own bedding and personal linen. Books may be pur- chased from the Petrel Shop or in the city of Atlanta and will cost approximately $10.00 per term. Upon assuming possession of his room each student is given a statement showing the general condition of the room and of the articles of furniture contained therein. He is required at the end of each term or at the end of the college year upon request of the Superintendent, to restore the property to the con- dition in which he received it by paying the actual cost of replacements and repairs as made or estimated as necessary to be made by the college officials. When the room is occupied by more than one student the cost of repairs is divided in proportion to responsi- bility. SELF HELP Approximately fifteen per cent of the Oglethorpe student body are "working their way through col- lege" in whole or in part. It is the intention of the authorities of the Univer- sity to see that a way is provided as far as possible for the assistance of any student who may be in pe- cuniary need and yet desirous of prosecuting his studies at Oglethorpe. A special Faculty Committee will co-operate with students to that end. As a general rule it is best for the student that he should be able to devote all of his time to his aca- '' OGLri'HORPE University 97 demic duties, but where circumstances require it, many students may undertake various tasks, pay- ment for which materially aids them in meeting their expenses. , For further information address the President, Oglethorpe University. SPECIAL LOAN FUND By the generosity of a good friend who does not wish his name mentioned, the University is able to lend a limited sum to deserving students who would otherwise be unable to prosecute their studies at Oglethorpe. Further details upon application. ATHLETICS HERMANCE FIELD The munificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance in giving to Oglethorpe an Athletic Sta- dium, to be the finest in the South, makes feasible the development of all forms of field sports, including not only the great games of football and baseball, but also vaulting, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, track work, etc. Physical culture for all students will be re- quired. A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Uni- versity toward intercollegiate athletics, and Ogle- thorpe University is acquitting herself well in that sphere of her educational life. SILVER LAKE In addition to those sports common to all well equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering eighty acres located conveniently to the University campus, with a part of its shore set aside for a univer- sity boat house. This will enable the institution to add a crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake 98 Oglethorpe University is admirably suited for boating, rowing, swimming and fishing. : The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the care of the physical life of our students as a matter of large importance. Regular instruction, looking to symmetrical development of the entire man will be given in the Athletic Department of the University, under competent medical guidance. Special attention is at present given to outdoor athletics. Adequate provision is being made for football and baseball grounds, tennis courts, etc. Work has been begun on Hermance Stadium. UNIVERSITY STORE One of the interesting features of university life at Oglethorpe is the Petrel Shop operated by a group of students, under the superintendence of the Faculty. In the store are kept all the necessary college acces- sories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made most conveniently, as full lines of goods answering the various college requirements are constantly kept on hand. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE The ability of a college or university to develop worthy character in its students depends largely upon that indefinable quality called "college atmosphere." As a mother, she breathes her own soul into her boys. They inherit all she has been through, all of labor and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments have been bought out with money they inherit that; if with blood they inherit that. Every storm through which she has passed strengthens them for their own conflicts in the days that are to come. Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and prayer. God alone built her, touching the hearts of Oglethorpe University 99 multitudes of His ciiildren at the voice of her call. Alone of all the prominent ante-bellum universities she died for her ideals and alone of all the universi- ties of America, God has raised her from the dead. By her every battle, her every faith, her every triumph, she has learned what things are really worth while and what hand really to lean upon. She will tell her children of Him. SPECIAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES Regular assembly exercises, which the students are required to attend, are conducted by each of the mem- bers of the faculty in turn. The student life at Ogle- thorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Y. M, C. A., and frequent sermons and addresses by visit- ing pastors and evangelists. LIBRARIES By the generosity of many friends, so great as to be almost unparalleled, the University received dur- ing the first year of its life approximately ten thou- sand volumes for the library. These consist of stand- ard works in Literature, History and Science, with many valuable reference works in special depart- ments. The Private Libraries of Dr. Sellers in Science, of Dr. Nicolassen in the Classics and of Pro- fessor Burrows in Education are all available for the use of the students in these departments. The policy of the institution is to let no year go without the en- largement of the library. A competent librarian is in charge and the rooms will be open during the year of 1929-30 approximately ten hours per day. The Public Library is also available for the use of our students. KING LIBRARY OF ENGLISH By the splendid generosity of Dr. Cheston Kin>j 100 Oglethorpe University the University has been given a Library of English incomparably the finest south of Washington. The volumes for this library, including some seventeen thousand books and pamphlets, have been received, and are now available for graduate work. OGLETHORPE COAT-OF-ARMS Among the unique honors offered at the University is the presentation of a sweater with the Coat-cf- Arms blazoned thereon, which will be awarded in the future under the terms of the following resolution unanimously adopted by the Faculty of the Univer- sity, upon recommendation of the President: "Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1922, the Coat-of-Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be given to those students carrying a minimum of fifteen hours weekly, of excellent personal character and conduct, whose general average of all the courses taken during five preceding consecutive terms shall have been not less than 93, or who, in lieu of said general average, shall have so distinguished them- selves in some intellectual, creative, or constructive accomplishment as to entitle them thereto in the judgment of the Faculty."

Drake Olive Parish William Powell Eloise Tanksley THE OGLETHORPE IDEA Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe idea quality in location, in climate, in campus, in architecture, in student character, in college life, in athletics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum and in religion and morals. Every one of these we offer at Oglethorpe. Located in the commercial and educational capital of the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most elegant street of that city, on a most beautiful cam- pus of over one hundred and eighty acres of woodland 102 Oglethorpe University and meadow, including an eighty-two acre lake which belongs to our students for swimming, boating and fishing, the physical advantages offered by Ogle- thorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the section. One by one a splendid body of buildings is being erected on its campus. Every one of them will be of granite trimmed with limestone and covered with variegated slates. All of them will be as fire-proof as human skill can make them and as commodious and comfortable as our architects can plan them. They will be like the first buildings already erected, which are believed to be the safest, most beautiful and most efficient college or university buildings in the Southeast. THE OGLETHORPE SITE ATLANTA The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educa- tional center are fast making it one of the great in- tellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft, Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to the entire nation over its many lines of railway, known everywhere as the center of Southern activ- ities, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great minds of the nation and the world. Hither come lec- turers, musicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors, teachers and officials of the United States. An in- tellectual atmosphere created by such conditions and the frequent opportunity of contact with these lead- ers in all branches of human activity, offered fre- quently to our students, give Oglethorpe University an advantage of position and of opportunity which she will cultivate to the uttermost. Facilities for hearing and meeting the great musicians and authors and public speakers and the leaders in all spheres of Oglethorpe University 103 intellectual activity will be offered our students. The tremendous influence of such contact upon the young lives committed to us will be felt in increased ambi- tion and redoubled determination to perform, them- selves, their duty to their race and their God. THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic tastes and home habits of many young men are ruined at college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings of their rooms and the ugly forbidding architecture of the buildings, whose walls often deface their cam- pus. The architecture of an institution of learning should be a constant source of delight and inspira- tion to its students, teaching quietly but surely the highest ideals of life. Indeed all those qualities of soul we know as honesty, solidity, dignity, durability, reverence and beauty may be expressed in the face of a building as surely as in that of a man, and are so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus. Not less important are the personal surroundings of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped apartments have exactly the same influence on the soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped hu- man companions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are entitled to the information and inspira- tion such surroundings offer, and the sons of the rich will deteriorate without them. In brief the college education that does not teach a love of beauty and tidiness and what is popularly called "decency," is essentially and dangerously de- fective. This is the special work of the silent faculty at Oglethorpe. 104 Oglethorpe University THE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR PERSONAL ATTENTION Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal contact and instruction of the heads of departments will note with interest that Oglethorpe offers excep- tional opportunities of that nature. It is well known that in all our large institutions only the upper class- men come in any close contact with the full profes- sors, who as heads of departments occupy their time in other matters than educating Freshmen. We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we have, and they will be taught by men who have taught in or had offered them, chairs in the greatest universities of America. This will be a permanent policy at Oglethorpe. PHYSICAL TRAINING All students of all classes are required to take two hours a week of Physical Training. This is intended to keep the body in good condition, and is especially designed for the benefit of those students who do not take part in football, baseball, etc., but who need some stimulus to pay attention to their physical well being. INFIRMARY The University maintains at all times an excellent infirmary, with a nurse in attendance, for the prompt treatment of accidents and of such cases of sickness as may occur. By this means prolonged and serious illness can often be prevented. During the recent in- fluenza epidemic vigorous measures were taken at once, with the result that, while there were a rela- tively small number of cases there were no fatalities. There is a University physician who can be secured on short notice when his services are needed. OOLBTHORPB UNIVERSITY 105 The University makes no charge to the students for infirmary service which includes also the attend- ance of the college physician in the infirmary. In case of special illness requiring operations or the ser- vices of specialists, while the University frequently is able to secure reduced charges for our students, yet we assume no responsibility beyond such services as our college physician and college infirmary are able to render. EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS Examinations will be held once each term, and re- ports of the students' standing will be issued four times per year. PUBLIC UTILITIES Oglethorpe University has the double advantage of being located in the suburbs of Atlanta, so far out as not to be subject to the distractions of city life, yet so near in as to enjoy all the public utilities of a great city. Among these are city water, electric lights, city trolley line, telephone and telegraph service, and in addition thereto the University has its own post- office, express office and railway station, all known aa Oglethorpe University, Georgia. DIRECTIONS TO NEW STUDENTS Students coming to Oglethorpe University from a distance should remember that Oglethorpe University has its own station on the main line of the Southern Railway between Atlanta and Washington. Tickets may be purchased and baggage checked to Ogle- thorpe University, Georgia, the station being imme- diately in front of the campus. Students coming to Atlanta over other lines may either re-check their baggage to the University station, or may have iz delivered at a special rate by the Atlanta Baggage IM Oglethorpe University & Cab Company. In using the latter method mention should always be made of the special students' rate at the time the order is given. WOMAN'S BOARD One of the most remarkable gatherings, even in this city of remarkable gatherings, was the assemb- ling of approximately two hundred of the represen- tative women of the city of Atlanta at the home of Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, Saturday afternoon, Nov- ember 25, 1916, to organize a Woman's Board for Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the Board is to aid the University in every wise and efficient Avay, with counsel of and guidance by the proper authorities of the Institution. Already more than four hundred of the finest work- ers and most representative women of the city have offered their services and joined the organization. Their activities are dh-ected toward the support and development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned to the committee on which she feels best able to serve. These committees cover the various departments of the University, and among them are: Ways and Means, Finance, Grounds, Press, Entertainment, Hospital, Music, Library, Arts, Refreshments, Trans- portation, and such other committees as it may seem wise to the Board from time to time to appoint. The authorities of the University welcome the for- mation of this organization with the greatest joy. The mere fact that they have promised a devoted allegiance to the enterprise has its own genuine val- ue, but those who know the women of Atlanta, with their marvelous capacity for earnest and consecrated work directed by a swift and accurate intelligence. OGLETHORrE UNIYEJiSlTY 107 will realize what must be the results of the efficient aid which they are giving to the Institution. The Woman's Board has established a permanent endowment fund and is being incorporated under the laws of Georgia in preparation for handling funds donated or bequeathed to the University through the Woman's Board. Officers and Chairmen of the various committees have been unanimously chosen as follows: Mrs. E. Rivers, President; Mrs Charles A. Conklin, First Vice-President ; Mrs. Frank Inman, Second Vice- President; Mrs. J. H. Porter, Third Vice-President; Mrs. W. A. Speer, Fourth Vice-President; Mrs. A. J.

Ulmer, Mrs. Haynes Mc- Fadden. Directors: Mrs. Katherine H. Connerat, Chairman; Mrs. Albert Thornton, Sr., Mrs. J. M. High, Mrs. Isaac Schoen, Mrs. G. H. Carnes. Advisory Board : Mrs. George W. Brine, Chairman ; Mrs. Haynes McFadden, First Vice-Chairman ; Mrs. B. K. Boyd, Second Vice-Chairman; Mrs. H. G. Carnes, Mrs. E. P. McBurney, Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, Mrs. E. H. Phillips. Honorary Presidents: Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, Mrs. J. T. Lupton, Mrs. Harry P. Hermance, Mrs. James R. Gray, Sr., Mrs. Sam Inman, Mrs. Albert Thornton, Sr., Mrs. Robert J. Lowry. Through the liberality of a friend, whose name is withheld by request, a fine driveway has been con- structed from the University to Peachtree Road; it is called "The Maud Jacobs Driveway," in honor of the first President of the Woman's Board. 0GL*TH0RPB XJNlVEBSn'Y 109 COMMENCEMENT May 20, 1928 Class Salutatory Louis Wood.

That Paragraph 4 of said charter granted as aforesaid, is sought to be amended by enlarging the scope thereof, by substituting in lieu of the original Paragraph 4 the follow- ing: The corporate functions which shall mean the control of the property of the corporation, its purchase, sale and other dis- position shall be by a Board of Trustees of such number as may be provided in the by-laws; no one is or shall ever be eligible to membership on such board except a member in good standing of a Presbyterian or Reformed Church. This Board shall be elected from among those of the Board of Founders, hereinafter provided for, who shall possess the requisite qualifications. No mortgage, sale or other disposition of the real property of the corporation shall ever be made except by vote of the Board of Trustees in a regular meeting or in a special meeting called therefor. Notice must be given of the call for any such special meeting of the purpose to consider such disposition. There shall be a Board of Founders of such number as may be prescribed by the by-laws who shall be persons who have shown their interest in the purposes of the University by con- tributing thereto, or in whose behalf there has been contribut- ed in cash, property or solvent promises not less than one thousand dollars and who are of such character and with such interest in promoting religion, morality and education as fits them for membership. This Board shall have the power and it shall be its duty to have control and supervision over the educational functions of the University, of its President, officers, faculty, and courses of study; to elect from among its members the Board of Trustees; to borrow money but not to secure the same by lien on the real property; to elect from eligible persons successors of the present Board of Founders; to create an Executive Committee with authority to perform all its functions when the Board is not in session, as may be provided for in the by-laws and to perform generally the ad- 122 O'GLETHCRFE UNIVEKSITY ministrative functions of the University. The present Board of Trustees-Founders shall coastitute the Board of Founders, whose members and their successors hold for life unless they are removed or resign. 3. That at a regular meeting of the duly authorized of- ficers of the corporation held in accordance with the charter thereof, the aforesaid amendment was authorized as appears from a copy of the resolutions attached hereto, marked EX- HIBIT A. i WHEREFORE, petitioner prays an order of this honorable court amending its charter as aforesaid.
