THE PRAYER OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

Father of Wisdom, Master of the Schools of Men, of
Thine all-knowledge grant me this my Prayer: that
I may be wise in Thee. Sink Thou my Foundations

DOWN DEEP into THY BOSOM UNTIL THEY REST UPON THE
VAST ROCK OF ThY COUNSEL. LiFT THOU MY WALLS INTO
THE CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. COVER ME WITH THE
WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESHOLD
IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET THOU MY FLOORS
IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND MAY MY
WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LeAD THOU UN-
TO ME, Lord God, those whom Thou hast appointed to

BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL COME WHO WOULD
LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON
OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET
THEM SEE, O MY LORD, HiM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME;
LET THEM HEAR HiM WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME
AND LET THEM REACH OUT THEIR HANDS AND TOUCH HiM
Who HAS GENTLY LED ME UNTO THIS GOOD DAY. ROCK-RIB-
BED MAY I STAND FOR ThY TRUTH. LET THE STORMS OF
EVIL BEAT ABOUT ME IN VAIN. MAY I SAFELY SHELTER THOSE
WHO COME UNTO ME FROM THE WINDS OF ERROR. LET THE
LIGHTNING THAT LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK
UPON MY HEAD IN DESPAIR. MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE
AND THE CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME
NOR MAY ANY THAT EVER COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE
BE SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST
THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-HEARTED AND MAY
THE VERY HEART OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY AS IT FEELS
THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD. AlL THIS I PRAY

Thee; and yet this, more: That there may be no stain

UPON MY STONES, FOREVER. AMEN.

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
btween 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.

Prespective 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.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

The historical genesis of Oglethorpe University
takes us back to the middle of the eighteenth century
when, under the leadership of Presbyterian men,
Princeton College was founded in New Jersey and rap-
idly became the institution largely patronized by the
young men from Presbyterian families all over the
world. 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 insti-
tution. 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

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 for 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 seventeen years ago
with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years
from her present president, it soon gathered with it
a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined
to see that their city had a university, as well as a
band of far-seeing educational leaders, who wished
to erect a certain high type of institution in this splen-
did 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 was told in 101
cities, towns and country all over the South from Gal-
veston, Tex., to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from
Marshall, Missouri, to Bradenton, Fla. ; each one of

Oglethorpe University 19

them giving $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise; the
splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaigns ; all this is
well known. Since that time the same wonderful rec-
ord has been maintained. There are now something
like five thousand men, women and children all of
whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents
to 650,000.00. 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, the gift of Col. and Mrs.
R. J. Lowry, 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 ap-
proximately $4,000,000. The building plan will be fol-
lowed out in its entirety.

THE OGLETHORPE CAMPUS

By the generosity of Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
Oglethorpe is the possessor of one of the finest college

20 Oglethorpe University

campuses in the entire world. In the summer of 1929
Mr. Hearst gave to the University the entire Silver
Lake Estates, four hundred acres of primeval forest
surrounding an eighty acre lake with something like
five miles of graded roads winding through it. As
this property immediately adjoins the two hundred
acres already possessed by the University, the com-
pleted campus consists of a body of six hundred acres
of land in one tract in the immediate vicinity of At-
lanta, on Peachtree Raod and on the main line of the
Southern Railroad. This gift of Mr. Hearst provides
for the University ample space for future development
and protects its growth from encroachment by urban
Atlanta whose suburbs are rapidly surrounding the
campus.

HERMANCE STADIUM
During the summer of 1929 the first section of
Hermance Stadium was erected at a cost of some-
thing over $100,000. Like all the other Oglethorpe
buildings it is constructed of granite, trimmed with
carved limestone. The seats are of re-inforced con-
crete. This first section which seats about five thou-
sand, comprises approximately one-ninth of the total
seating capacity. When completed it will have cost
something like $750,000 and will have a seating capac-
ity of approximately that of the Roman Colosseum,
45,000. It is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs, Harry
P. Hermance, Hal Hermance and Miss Helena Her-
mance, the donors.

HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS

But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of
the institution about which the men who are founding
Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and

Oglethorpe University 21

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 name 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 three dials, ten bells and night illumination, the
gift of friends of the University. It is interesting to
note that this is the only tower clock in Atlanta and
the only chimes on any college campus in Georgia.
Concerts on the chimes are given each Sunday after-
noon for one hour and each other afternoon excepting

22 Oglethorpe University

Saturday for a quarter-hour for the pleasure of the
students and general public. They are also played at
the football games in Hermance Stadium.

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. It has been the purpose of the Board
of Directors in making their selection of members of
the faculty to choose them from as many different
sections of America as possible, thus providing a rep-
resentative and cosmopolitan American corps of
teachers.

Oglethorpe has held intercollegiate debates with
Mercer University, Auburn Polytechnic, Furman, the
University of the South, at Swanee, Emory University,
Louisiana State University, Princeton University,
Georgia School of Technology and other institutions
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 enviroment,
and thus to train young men who wish to become spe-
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

32 Oglethorpe University

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 six hundred and fifty acres of land, in-
cluding an eighty acre lake which is located in the
nortwestern section 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
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

'T3

Eh

Oglethorpe University 33

latter is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino-
type machines and two smaller presses with a num-
ber of type stands and other printing equipment
given by a friend of the University. 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.

SPECIAL STUDENTS

Students twenty years of age may be admitted 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 regular 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-

86 Oglethorpe University

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,
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;

Oglethorpe University 37

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
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.

In the above course the central group of studies is
Education. 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 proceeding 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.

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-
versities, 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

Oglethorpe University 45

four years in one department or another, find that
they have omitted many subjects 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 difficulty 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
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

46 Oglethorpe University

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
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-

Oglethorpe University 47

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-
lows, beginning with the Freshman year:

Hrs. English 111 3

Physics 111, 211 5 Latin 111 3

History 3 A course in Latin and

Physiology 111 1 Greek Mythology and

Bible 111 (a study of the Etymology 2

Old Testament) 2 Physical Culture

A modern language 111 -3

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
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

48 Oglethorpe University

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.

In the Sophomore year, the courses are as follows:

Hrs. Hrs.

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

25

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
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 :

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 resject to
society. To these also is added the work in physical
culture.

In the Senior year, the courses are as follows :

The work for the seniors in English, while it may
vary its subject from time to time, is designed to
widen our students' 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

50 Oglethorpe University

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

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

Oglethorpe University 51

intellectual training to liars, thieves, adulterers, 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
from all forms of hazing, and a pledge of his support
to the faculty in preventing the 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
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 of study in the city of Atlanta. Hundreds 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-

Oglethorpe University 53

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-
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

54

two-year pre-professional course, the following out-
line of studies is recommended:

Oglethorpe University 65

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.

ASTRONOMY

Professor Aldrich

Astronomy 111- 112- 113. A study of the solar

servations involving the fundamentals of the pro-
cesses used in practical Astronomy and Astrophysics.
One period per week throughout the year.

Prospective students are advised that first year
Mathematics and Physics 111- will be of great service
to them in these courses.

Stacy - Capers Telescope. 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

56 Oglethorpe University

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 six 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
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.

SECRETARIAL PREPARATION

The secretarial course of study is designed for the
following: (a) Persons who wish to enter the business
world in the capacity of skilled assistants to those in
executive positions; (b) Teachers of commercial sub-
jects in high schools; (c) Office managers and the
like; (d) Young ladies who are preparing for work
of a literary nature, or as social secretaries.

In the work in modern foreign languages, not less
than two years of work will be accepted for gradua-
tion. In case only a reading knowledge is desired, on
the successful completion of the first two units a
second language may be taken up.

For those preparing to teach in high schools it is
recommended that from the electives nine hours of
Education be taken, as this will qualify graduates for
the State Professional Teacher's Certificate.

At the close of the first two years of work, provid-
ed a record has been established for scholarship,
character, and reliability, on request a Certificate of
Proficiency will be granted. This is not to encourage
a premature capitalization of ability, but more as an
incentive to complete the four years of work for the
diploma and the degree.

Professor Gaertner Professor Burrows

The school of Education is both an undergraduate
and also a graduate school. A number of graduates
from such schools in Oglethorpe University as well
as other colleges have entered the teaching profession.
Much of the work being psychological and humanis-
tic, the discipline of this school is a preparation for
various lines of work besides that of teaching. This
school is a good preparation dealing with all forms

Master of Arts in Education.

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
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-

90 Oglethorpe University

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
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.

Oglethorpe University 91

1. Physiology A first-year course in the study
of the human body, one hour per week Fall, Winter,

and Spring terms. One hour per week. Dr. Libby.

10. 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 work in this department.

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.

Oglethorpe University 93

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 number to be found
at our inter-collegiate 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 Anderson, one
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. Anderson 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

94 Oglethorpe University

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
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.

Oglethorpe University 95

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 coleges 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.

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

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 partitions
of brick and hollow tile.

The prices named below are based upon three grades
of rooms. The first of these comprises the entire third

96 Oglethorpe University

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 gen-
eral toilet and bath 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 bed-room, 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 substan-
tially. Every room in the dormitories contains ample
closet space. The rooms are large, airy, safe and com-
fortable.

The furniture is of substantial quality and is ap-
proximately the same for all rooms, including chif-
fonier, study-table, single bed, springs 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,
athlete, 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.

Oglethorpe University &7

Lowry Hall, second floor $192.00 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 no room rent and tuition for less than one term.
No rebate is made on absences caused by temporary
suspension by action of the faculty. All Freshmen,
other than day students and young women, are re-
quired to room on the campus except upon the written
request of their parents or guardians. It will be ob-
served that the total cost for the entire year, including
tuition, table board and room rent, light, heat, 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
rooming accommodations. The student should bring
his own bedding and personal linen. Books may be
purchased from the Petrel Shop or in the city of At-
lanta 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 condi-
tion 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

98 Oglethorpe University

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-
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 magnificent 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

Oglethorpe University 99

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 shores 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
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 necessary college acces-

100 Oglethorpe University

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
multitudes of His children 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 of Ogle-
thorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Petrel
Bible Class and frequent sermons and addresses by
visiting pastors and evangelists.

Oglethorpe University 101

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
Dr. 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 King
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-of-
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

102

Oglethorpe University

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."

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 six hundred acres of woodland and mea-
dow, including an eighty-two acre lake which belongs
to our students for swimming, boating and fishing,
the physical advantages offered by Oglethorpe Uni-
versity 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

104 Oglethorpe University

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 OGLETHOUPE SITEATLANTA

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
intellectual activity will be offered our students. The
tremendous influence of such contact upon the young
lives cominitted 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

Oglethorpe University 105

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
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.

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-

106 Oglethorpe University

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.

The University makes no charge to the students
for infirmary service which includes also the attend-
ance of the college physiciaan 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

Oglethorpe University 107

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 as
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 it
delivered at a special rate by the Atlanta Baggage
& Cab Company. In using the latter method mention
should always be made of the special students' rate
at the time the order is given.

108 Oglethorpe University

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 way, with counsel of and
guidance by the proper authorities of the Institution.
Already more than four hundred of the finest v/ork-
ers and most representative women of the city have
offered their services and joined the organization.
Their activities are directed 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 v/ith 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,
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

Oglethorpe University 109

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.

the first President of the Woman's Board.

EXHIBIT "A"

Resolved by the Board of Trustees-Founders of Oglethorpe
University that paragraph 4, as it now reads in the original
charter thereof dated May 6, 1913, be stricken and in lieu
thereof, a new paragraph 4 shall be inserted as follows:

The corporate functions which shall mean the control of
the property of the corporation, its purchase, sale and other

as may be provided in the by-laws; no one is or shall ever
be eligible to membership in 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 disposi-
tion of the real property of the corporation shall ever be made

en 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
contributing thereto, or in whose behalf there has been con-
tributed 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

HISTORICAL

(From a copy of the Milledgeville Journal, September 5, 1837.
Presented to the University library by Miss Emma Thomas
of Athens, Georgia, the great-granddaughter of Mr. B. P.
Stubbs, Secretary, who signed the notice in behalf of the Ex-
ecutive CoTnmittee.)

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

It has already been announced, that this Institution will
commence its exercises on the first Monday of January, 1883.
The Board of Trustees, while again calling public attention
to this fact, offer some remarks in explanation to a new fea-
ture which they have given to its character.

The University will consist of three departments, Collegiate,
Academic, and Primary.

Any person desirous of seeing the laws which govern the
Collegiate department, can obtain a copy of the pamphlet con-
taining them, by application to B. P. Stubbs, of this place. Sec-
retary and Treasurer of the Board.

Candidates for admission into the Freshman Class, must be
prepared to stand an examination on Caesar's Commentaries,
four books, Cicero's Select Orations, Mair's Introduction to
Latin Syntax, the Gospels in the Greek Testament, Dalzel's
Collections Graeca Minora, together with Latin and Greek
Grammar, including Latin Prosody; also, on English Gram-
mar, Arithmetic and Geography, ancient and modern.

The course of instruction in the several classes, will be as
follows, towit :

(Provision will also be made for instruction in Modern
Languages.)

The Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for entrance into this or any other college.

The Primary Department will be composed of those pursuing
the ordinary branches of an English education.

The students in these two department, as well as the Col-
legiate, will be instructed by the Faculty of the College.

In consequence of this arrangement, boys, in the early stage
of their literary course, will enjoy advantages perhaps un-
surpassed in this country, as they wil be taught by a regular
Faculty, while the students of the college will receive the
full amount of instruction ordinarily given them, as v/ill be
seen by a reference to the course of study. This system will
vastly increase the labor of the Faculty; this labor they have
however consented to undergo.

The adoption of this new plan has been caused by the pecu-
liar state of the times. Though the amount on our subscrip-
tion list is sufficient to warrant the commencement of the
work in its original form, yet from the present state of af-
fairs, it would have been more than indelicate to call upon
many individuals for their subscriptions. On the other hand,
many parents have been making arrangements to send their
sons to Midway during the next year. Such persons it would
be painful to disappoint, yet it would be impossible to proceed
for want of funds in hand. The course now announced as
being adopted, was then proposed that is, to bring the Acad-

130 Oglethorpe University

emy and College under the government and instruction of the
same President and Professors. By this arrangement the ex-
pense of the Institution will be sustained, and all difficulties
in its vv^ay removed.

The Board of Trustees takes this occasion to say, that this
year the Stew^ard's Hall w^ill be discontinued. This is done,
that there may be no hindrance in the w^ay of such persons as
may v^^ish to move to Midviray for the purpose of taking
boarders.

The Trustees close this communication by suggesting to
parents, (vi^ho desire their children to be educated, and who
cannot afford to send them abroad for this purpose) the pro-
priety of settling themselves at Midway. By taking boarders,
the expenses of their family could be more sustained, and
their children of all ages receive thorough and finished edu-
cation. To others disposed to turn their attention to keeping
boarders as a business, we would suggest that Midway offers
inducements inferior to few if any other positions at the
South a healthy and delightful location, and as many board-
ers as they may be able to accomodate.

By order of the Executive Committee.

B. P. STUBBS, Secretary.
