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.

McBurney Smith, Archibald 16 Oglethorpe University 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 I ft! .5^ J-S p O e 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 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 eighteen 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 eighteen 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 $1,000,000. 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 reinforced 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. 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 chimes on any college cam- pus in Georgia. Concerts on the chimes are given daily and are broadcast over station WJTL. 22 Oglethorpe University RADIO STATION By the generosity of Dr. John Thomas Lupton, there has been installed in Lupton Hall a complete Radio Broadcasting Station, WJTL, the Radio Division of Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the instal- lation was to enable the University to reach thousands of persons in and around the city of Atlanta who can- not conveniently attend college on the campus of the University but who desire to take courses with or without matriculation for college degrees and credits. Station WJTL was installed and began operation on May 24, 1931 and a complete statement of its scope and of the courses offered will be found elsewhere in this catalog.

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY 23 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.

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- cialists in professional and business life and teach- 34 Oglethorpe University 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 prepare themselves for the ad- vanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate library and laboratory facilities are pro- vided. Free use is made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scien- tific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for obser- vation, inspection and investigation. A glance at the frontispiece of the catalogue, show- ing a 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 in the basement a dining room; on the ground floor, chem- istry and physics lecture rooms and laboratories and the Bursar's office and lounging room for young ladies attending the college; on the second and third floors, the hospital and dormitories. Lupton Hall con- sists of three separate structures which, combined, contain the library, the President's office, radio trans- mitting and broadcasting rooms, class rooms, dorm- Oglethorpe University 35 itories, an Assembly Hall seating approximately six hundred, equipped also as a theatre for the pres- entation of student dramas, and in the basement, bas- ketball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers, and quarters for the University Press. The University Press is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino- type machine 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, and the Art studios. It is largely a replica of old Cor- pus Christi College, Oxford, the alma mater of James Edward Oglethorpe. It contains class rooms and dor- mitories, and will stand as a perpetual memorial to the generosity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Emma Markham Lowry. STANDARDS FOR GEORGIA COLLEGES AND JUNIOR COLLEGES * The following standards have been adopted by the State Board of Education of Georgia. They are de- signed to serve two purposes: (a) A basis for granting charters to new or pro- posed higher educational institutions under the pro- visions of Section 14 of the Georgia School Code.** (b) A basis for preparing an approved list of teach- er-training institutions for the State of Georgia. It is not proposed that these standards should oper- ate to make it impossible for a worthy new enterprise * These standards have been adopted by Oglethorpe Univer- sity and are effective as of September 23rd 1931. ** Section 14. No charter giving the right to confer degrees or issue diplomas shall be granted to any proposed institution of learning within the State of Georgia until the proper show- ing has been made to the State Board of Education that the pro- posed University, College, Normal, or Professional school shall give evidence of its ability to meet the standard requirements set up by the State Board of Education. 36 Oglethorpe University to be begun, nor for a worthy institution now in oper- ation to be denied a fair opportunity for development. It is, therefore, agreed that: (a) In the case of proposed new institutions of higher learning, if the Board of Education is satisfied that such institution has a reasonable possibility of meeting these standards within three years, a provis- ional charter for three years may be granted, such charter to be made permanent if and when such insti- tution shall have met the conditions of these stand- ards. (b) In the case of institutions now in operation, the application of these standards shall not go into effect until after the expiration of three years from the date of the adoption of these standards. STANDARDS FOR COLLEGES 1. Definition: A standard college, university, or technological in- stitution designated as 'college' in this statement of standards is an institution: (a) Which is legally authorized to give non-profes- sional Bachelor's degrees; (b) Which is organized definitely on the basis of the completion of a standard secondary school cur- riculum ; (c) Which organizes its curricula in such a way that the early years are a continuation of, and sup- plement the work of the secondary school and at least the last two years are shaped more or less distinctly in the direction of special, profes- sional, or graduate instruction; (d) which is separate and distinct, both in faculty and operation, from any high school. Oglethorpe University 37 2. Entrance or Admission: A college shall demand for admission of candidates for degrees the satisfactory completion of a four year course (16 units from a four year high school or twelve units from a three year senior high school) in a secondary school approved by a recognized accred- iting agency or the equivalent of such a course, as shown by examination. The major portion of the sec- ondary school course accepted for admission should be definitely correlated with the curriculum to which the student is admitted. Persons over 21 years of age, who do not meet re- quirements for admission, may be admitted to regular college courses if the authorities of the college are satisfied that such persons can carry the courses satis- factorily. These shall be classified as special students and shall not be admitted to candidacy for bachelor's degrees until all entrance credits shall have been satis- fied. 3. Graduation. A college shall require for graduation the completion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semes- ter hours of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points, majors, or courses) with fur- ther qualitative requirements adapted by each insti- tution to its conditions. A semester hour is defined as a credit for work in a class which meets for at least one sixty-minute period (including ten minutes for change of classes) weekly for lecture, recitation, or test for a semester of eighteen weeks ( including not over two weeks for all holidays and vacations). Two hours of laboratory work should count as the equivalent of one hour of lecture, recitation, or test. 38 Oglethorpe University 4. Degrees: Small institutions should confine themselves to one or two baccalaureate degrees. When more than one baccalaureate degree is offered, all shall be equal in requirements for admission and graduation. Institu- tions of limited resources and inadequate facilities for graduate work should confine themselves to strictly undergraduate courses. 5. Permanent Records: A system of permanent records showing clearly all credits (including entrance records) of each student shall be carefully kept. The original credentials filed from other institutions shall be retained. As far as possible, records of graduates should be kept. 6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments: A college of arts and sciences of approximately 100 students should maintain at least eight separate de- partments with at least one professor in each devoting his whole time to that department. The size of the faculty should bear a definite relation to the type of institution, the number of students, and the number of courses offered. With the growth of the student body, the number of full-time teachers should be correspond- ingly increased. The development of varied curricula should involve the addition of other heads of depart- ments. 7. Training of Faculty: Faculty members of professorial rank shall have not less than one full year of graduate work, majoring in the subject taught, in addition to a bachelor's degree from a fully-accredited college, and should have two years of training in an approved graduate school. The training of the head of each department shall Oglethorpe University 39 be that represented by two full years of graduate work or its equivalent. 8. Faculty Load: The number of hours of class room work given by each teacher will vary in different departments. To determine this, the amount of preparation required for the class and the amount of time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, together with the number of students, must be taken into account. Teaching schedules, including classes for part-time students, ex- ceeding 18 recitation hours or their equivalent per week per instructor, will be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency. Sixteen hours is the recom- mended maximum load. 9. Size of Classes: Classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students should be interpreted as endangering educa- tional efficiency. 10. Financial Support: The minimum annual operating income for an ac- credited college, exclusive of payment of interest, an- nuities, etc., should be $30,000 of which not less than $15,000 should be derived from stable sources, other than students, such as permanent endowment, public funds, or church support. Increase in faculty, stu- dent body and scope of instruction should be accom- panied by a corresponding increase of income from such stable sources. The financial status of each col- lege should be judged in relation to its educational program. A college that does not have such support from en- dowment, church, state, or public sources must show, for a period of three consecutive years immediately preceding its application for accrediting, that its 40 Oglethorpe University charges and expenditures are such as to show a min- imum average annual net surplus of not less than $15,000 from non-educational services, such as board, room rents, etc., which may be used to supplement tuition fees. 11. Library: A college should have a live, well-distributed, ade- quately housed library of at least 8,000 volumes, ex- clusive of public documents, bearing specifically upon the subjects taught, administered by a full-time pro- fessionally trained librarian, and with a definite an- nual appropriation for the purchase of new books. 12. Laboratories: The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all the experiments called for by the courses offered in the sciences, and these facilities shall be kept up by means of an annual appropriation in keeping with the curriculum. 13. General Equipment and Buildings: The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating, and ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, water supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of cleaning shall be such as to insure hygienic conditions for both students and teachers. 14. Proportion of Students Candidates for Degrees: No institution shall be admitted to the accredited list, or continued more than one year on such list, un- less it has a college registration of at least 100 regular students. A notably small proportion of college stu- dents registered in the third and fourth years will constitute ground for dropping an instution from the accredited list. At least 75 per cent of the students in a college Oglethorpe University 41 should be pursuing courses leading to baccalaureate degrees. Provided, however, that this shall not apply to students enrolled in extension, correspondence, or other similar departments, not in regular course for a degree, in an institution which otherwise meets these standards. 15. Character of the Curriculum: The character of the curriculum, the standards for regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honor- ary degrees, provision in the curriculum for breadth of study and for concentration, soundness of scholar- ship, the practice of scientific spirit including freedom of investigation and teaching, loyalty to facts, and en- couragement of efficiency, initiative and originality in investigation and teaching, the tone of the institution, including the existence and culture of good morals and ideals, and satisfaction and enthusiasms among stu- dents and staff shall be factors in determining its standing. 16. Extra-Curricular Activities: The proper administration of athletics, student pub- lications, student organizations, and all extra-curricu- lar activities, is one of the fundamental tests of a standard college and, therefore should be considered in classification. 17. Professional and Technical Departments: When the institution has, in addition to the college of arts and sciences, professional or technical depart- ments, the college of arts and sciences shall not be ac- cepted for the approved list of the State Department of Education unless the professional or technical de- partments are of approved grade, national standards being used when available. 42 Oglethorpe University 18. Inspection and Reports: Filing of Blank No institution shall be placed on the approved list unless a regular information blank has been filed with the State Department of Education. The blank shall be filed again for each of the three years after the college has been approved, and trien- nially thereafter, but the Department may for due cause call upon any member to file a new report at any time. Failure to file the blank as required shall be cause for dropping an institution. Inspection No college will be placed on the ap- proved list until it has been inspected and reported upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed by the State Department of Education. All colleges accred- ited by the Department shall be open to inspection at any time. STANDARDS FOR JUNIOR COLLEGES (This is printed for the benefit of prospective students who expect to present credits from schools of junior college rank.) 1. Definition. The junior college, in its present development, comprises different forms of organization. First, a two-year institution embracing two years of collegiate work in advance of the com- pletion of an accredited secondary school course. The two-year curricula of this type shall be equivalent in prerequisites, methods, and thoroughness to those offered in the first two years of an accredited four-year college. Second, an institution em- bracing two years of standard collegiate work as defined above integrated with one or two contiguous years of fully accredited high-school work administered as a single unit. 2. Entrance or Admission. A junior college shall demand for admission to the first col- legiate class the satisfactory completion of a four year course (15 units from a four year high school or twelve units from a three year senior high school) in a secondary school approved by a recognized accrediting agency or the equivalent of such a Oglethorpe University 43 course shown by examination. The major portion of the sec- ondary school course accepted for admission should be definitely correlated with the curriculum to which the student is admitted. For entrance to terminal or finishing courses in the two-year junior college or the upper division of the four-year junior col- lege the equivalent of fifteen units should be required. This equivalent may be demonstrated by entrance examinations, ability tests, or by the proven ability of the student to profit by the instruction offered. 3. Graduation. A junior college shall require for graduation the completion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 60 semester hours of credit (or the equivalent in term hours, quarter hours, points, majors, or courses) with further qualitative requirements adap- ted by each institution to its conditions. A semester hour is defined as a credit given for work in a class which meets for at least one sixty-minute period (in- cluding ten minutes for change of classes) weekly for lecture, recitation, or test for a semester of eighteen weeks (including not over two weeks for all holidays and vacations). Two hours of laboratory work should count as the equivalent of one hour of lecture, recitation, or test. 4. Degrees. No junior college shall grant degrees. 5. Permanent Records. A system of permanent records showing clearly all credits (including entrance records) of each student shall be carefully kept. The original credentials filed from other institutions shall be retained. As far as possible, records of gradutes should be kept. 6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments. The junior college shall offer instruction in at least five sep- arate departments. There shall not be fewer than five teachers employed specifically for instruction in the upper level of the junior college, giving the major portion of their time to such instruction. 7. Training of Faculty. The training of the members of the faculty shall include at 44 Oglethorpe University least one year of graduate study majoring in the subject to be taught, together with evidences of successful experience of ef- ficiency in teaching. 8. Faculty Load. The number of hours of class room work given by each teach- er will vary in different departments. To determine this, the amount of preparation required for the class and the amount of time needed for study to keep abreast of the subject, together with the number of students, must be taken into account. Teaching schedules including classes for part-time students, ex- ceeding 18 recitation hours or their equivalent per week per instructor, will be interpreted as endangering educational ef- ficiency. Sixteen hours is the recommended maximum load, When a teacher devotes part-time to high school instruction and part-time to college instruction his load shall be computed on the basis of one high school unit for there year hours. 9. Size of Classes. Classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty students should be interpreted as endangering educational efficiency. 10. Financial Support. The minimum annual operating income for an accredited junior college, exclusive of payment of interest, annuities, etc., should be $20,000 of which not less than $10,000 should be de- rived from stable sources, other than students, such as per- manent endowment, public funds, or church support. Increase in faculty, student body, and scope of instruction should be ac- companied by a corresponding increase of income from such stable sources. The financial status of each junior college should be judged in relation to its educational program. A junior college that does not have such support from en- dowment, church, state, or public sources must show, for a period of three or more consecutive years immediately pre- ceding its application for accrediting, that its charges and ex- penditures are such as to show a minimum average annual net surplus of not less than $10,000 from non-educational services, such as board, room rents, etc., which may be used to supple- ment tuition fees. 11. Lib vary. A junior college should have a live, well-distributed, ade- Oglethorpe University 45 quately housed, library of at least 3,000 volumes, exclusive of public documents, bearing specifically upon the subjects taught, administered by a full-time professionally trained librarian, and with a definite annual appropriation for the purchase of new bookss. 12. Laboratories. The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all the ex- periments called for by the courses offered in the sciences, and these facilities shall be kept up by means of an annual appro- priation in keeping with the curriculum. 13. General Equipment and Buildings. The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating, and ventilation of the rooms, the nature of the labor- atories, corridors, closets, water supply, school furniture, ap- paratus, and methods of cleaning shall be such as to insure hygienic conditions for both students and teachers. 14. Number of Students. No institution shall be admitted to the accredited list, or con- tinued more than one year on such list, unless it has a regular college registration of at least fifty students. A notably small proportion of students registered in the final year, continued over a period of several years, will constitute ground for drop- ping an institution from the accredited list. 15. Character of the Curriculum. The character of the curriculum, the standards for regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honorary degrees, pro- vision in the curriculum for breadth of study and for concen- tration, soundness of scholarship, the practice of scientific spirit including freedom of investigation and teaching, loyalty to facts, and encouragement of efficiency, initiative and origi- nality in investigation and teaching, the tone of the institution, including the existence and culture of good morals and ideals, and satisfaction and enthusiasms among students and staff shall be factors in determining its standards. 16. Extra-Curricidar Activities. The proper administration of athletics, student publications, student organizations, and all extra-curricular activities is one of the fundamental tests of a standard college and, therefore, should be considered in classification. 46 Oglethorpe University 17. Professional and Technical Departments. When the institution has, in addition to the college of arts and sciences, professional, or technical departments, the junior college shall not be accepted for the approved list of the State Department of Education unless the professional or technical departments are of approved grade, national standards being used when available. 1%. ..Inspection and Reports. Filing of Blank No institution shall be placed on the ap- proved list unless a regular information blank has been filed with the State Department of Education. The blank shall be filed again for each of the three years after the college has been approved, and triennially thereafter, but the Department may for due cause call upon any member to file a new report at any time. Failure to file the blank as required shall be cause for dropping an institution. Inspection No college will be placed on the approved list until it has been inspected and reported upon by an agent or agents regularly appointed by the State Department of Ed- ucation. All colleges accredited by the Department shall be open to inspection at any time. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE- MENTS FOR DEGREES In the session of 1931-32 Oglethorpe University will offer courses in the undergraduate classes of six schools leading to the customary academic degrees. The degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in the Liberal Arts will be conferred upon those students satisfactor- ily 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 and Journ- alism will be given to those students who complete a course including work in languages, literature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Com- Oglethorpe University 47 merce will be conferred upon those students who satis- factorily complete a full four years' course in studies relating particularly to business administration. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will be confer- red 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 the choice most suitable to his tastes and probable future life. In general, it may be suggested that students preparing to enter such professions as the ministry or law, will choose the A.B. course in Liberal Arts; those looking forward to medicine, dentistry and other scientific work, the A.B. course in Science; those ex- pecting to enter the literary and journalistic field, the A. B. Course in Literature, and those who intend to spend their lives in the business world, the A. B. course in Commerce, or the A. B. course in Secretarial Prep- aration ; those who expect to teach, the A. B. 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 making of a life as distin- guished from a living. Graduates of standard normal schools or junior col- leges are admitted to the junior class. EXAMINATIONS, CREDITS, GRADUATION Effective with the class entering September, 1931, the new Oglethorpe plan of credits and examinations 48 Oglethorpe University will go into effect. The traditional four year course of study will be divided into two groups. The first two years of work will be designated as the College Divis- ion, and the remaining two years of work as the Uni- versity Division. The teaching will be as heretofore with similar schedules, with the customary lectures, laboratory work, quizzes, and examinations. But the marks attained at the close of the term are not entered as credits for graduation, only as an indication to the student and the instructor of the character of work being done. When the student appears to have satis- factorily completed two years of work he will be rec- ommended by the Dean of his department to the Fac- ulty for a final, comprehensive examination, both writ- ten and oral, on all subjects taken. Upon the satisfac- tory completion of this test he will be awarded a certi- ficate stating that he has completed the College Di- vision of studies and may be admitted to the Univer- sity Division. The same plan will be followed in the University Division. Upon completion of a satisfac- tory comprehensive examination the degree and di- ploma will be conferred. It is believed that the new system will incite the student to select and coordinate his course of study as a whole, and to master it. The inferior student will stand small chance of passing the comprehensive examinations. In fact, he will not even be recommended by his Dean for the examination, but will be asked to do additional and better work to qual- ify himself for graduation. Under the new plan cheat- ing, cramming, and coasting will be less of a tempta- tion, as ill gotten marks will avail nothing on the final comprehensive examination. The new plan will be an incentive to mastery and excellence. Oglethorpe University 49 UNIVERSITY EXPENSES Tuition Effective for all students entering Oglethorpe on and after September 1931, the tuition fees charged by the University are the same in all departments and in all schools, and are based upon the actual amount of in- struction given to the student as measured by the time devoted thereto by the instructors. The figure set is $5.00 per term for each one hour per week. The courses offered at the University usually run two, three, or four hours per week. The charge per term (approximately three months) for each one hour per week course (usually called a minor) is $5.00. The charge per term for each two hour per week course is $10.00. The charge for each three hour per week course for one term is $15.00. The charge per term for each four hour per week course is $20.00 and the charge per term for each seven hour per week course is $35.00. Other courses in exact proportion. The charges for work done in the laboratories, art departments, etc., is one-half of above rates. Inasmuch as a complete college and University course of four years, more or less, calls for 66 week hours of instruction, equal to 66 minors, the total charge for the four years, more or less, of instruction, including tuition, laboratory and other college fees is approximately $247.50 per year. The tuition charge includes tickets to all athletic games played on the campus and to the annual per- formance of the Oglethorpe Players Club. Board and Room Rent The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are the safest and most comfortable of those of cog- nate institutions in the South. All permanent buildings 50 Oglethorpe University 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 two 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 gen- eral toilet and bath on the same floor. Each room con- tains a lavatory furnishing hot and cold water. The second grade is that of the second floor of the Admin- istration 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. 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 accom- modations and of table fare will permit. No fees such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent, athletic, etc., are charged. All students rooming in the dormitory are required also to board in the college refectory but any student not rooming on the college campus may take his meals Oglethorpe University 51 in the University refectory upon payment monthly in advance of the regular charge for board, Students employed by the University must board and room on the campus. The charge for board and room rent combined is as follows : Administration Building, third floor; Lupton Hall, third floor; and Lowry Hall, second and third floor, $107.50 per term. Administration Building, second floor $127.50 per term. The charge for board alone is $81.50 per term. The cost of one meal ticket is $.50 three for $1.00. 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. There is a University physician who can be secured on short notice when his services are needed. Students whose medical needs exceed the facilities of the Infirmary find every re- quirement satisfied by the hospitals of the city. 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. 52 Oglethorpe University 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 Oglethorpe University, Georgia, the station being immediately 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 spe- cial 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. SUMMER SESSION The summer term of Oglethorpe University meets the requirements for regular students who desire to speed up their courses or make up work that is un- satisfactory. It also serves the large number of stu- dents in the down town courses and teachers working toward some degree. 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. 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- Oglethorpe University 53 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 upon that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved in- stitution. The candidate must have an aggregate of fifteen hours/wf graduate work, with at least two Pro- fessors; twoTr i ic 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 three 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 a previously 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 Faculty shall include only men of the highest intellectual attainment as well as men of great teaching power and strong per- sonal character. 54 Oglethorpe University The President of the University will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be of- fered. SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in the Languages This course of study is intended to encourage es- pecially the study of the languages, ancient and mod- ern.

If Latin be chosen as the major, Greek must be taken as one of the minors. If Greek be taken as the major, Latin shall be one of the minors. A student must have at least one year of German and one year of French, either in High School or in College. Any subject above enumerated that has been studied in High School shall be replaced by some elec- tive. THE LOWRY SCHOOL OF BANKING AND COMMERCE Leading to the degree of A.B. in Commerce The aim of all instruction in the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce is to furnish the general basis of business facts, standards and theory which the be- ginner finds it difficult or impossible to acquire in his early business experience. It avoids any pretense of covering fully the practical details and routine and the special technique of the particular business or industry which he will enter. The Lowry School offers two regular courses of study, the General Business Course and the Account- ing course. The aim is to concentrate upon the fun- damentals of business and with this in view every stu- dent is required to obtain a thorough knowledge of the basic subjects including accounting, finance, econom- ics, and business law. Those intending to teach commerce subjects in pub- lic high schools should take a sufficient number of electives in the field of Education to legally qualify them for the Professional Teachers Certificate. 56 Oglethorpe University Curriculum of the College Division of both Groups First Year Hrs.

Oglethorpe University 57 SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in Education 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 of human contact sides of life work. We especially recommend the courses in shorthand and typewriting to be taken as part of the electives in Junior or Senior years or earlier by substitution, for secretarial careers, or commercial teaching in high schools.

In addition to the required high school units for college entrance, professional students must complete one or more years of college work, according to the require- ments of the institution that they are planning to enter. The attention of the prospective student, how- ever, should be called to the fact that each year finds it more necessary for the professional man to have a thorough foundation for his professional studies, and the professional schools are becoming more strict in their requirements for entrance. Particularly is this the case in medicine where the best colleges require a diploma from a standard college for entrance. Having this in mind Oglethorpe University has discontinued its two year pre-medical 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 61. For Pre-Dental Course, see School of Science on page 62. For Literary Pre-Law see School of Literature and Journalism. For Commerce Pre-Law see School of Commerce. 1! <--.
