BOARD OF FOUNDERS OF THE UNIVERSITY* Oglethorpe University, planned to be the capstone of the Educational System of the Southern Presbyterian Church is owned and controlled by a Board of Founders, each of whom is a member in good and regular standing of a Presbyte- rian Church, and two-thirds of whom are ratified by the Session of the particular Southern Presbyterian Church to which the member belongs. This General Board of Founders meets once each year, at commencement time, on the univer- sity grounds in Atlanta, to inspect their institution, to review all matters of large importance in the life of the University and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by them, and from their number, and which will look after the details of management of the Institution between the meetings of the Board of Founders. Each member of the Board repre- sents a gift of one thousand dollars or more to the University. Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the manage- ment of an institution. It is already in operation and its per- fect practicability is largely responsible for the marvelous suc- cess of the University. Prospective students will not fail to note the quality of these Founders, representing the thousands of men and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consummated this fine pur- pose. As representatives and governors of the Institution they will take pleasure in giving any enquirers information as to the aims and progress of the University. *The list of the Founders given on the following pages is corrected up to March 21, 1916.

Morrow Hoke Smith 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 rapidly became the institution largely pat- ronized by the young men from Presbyterian families all over the nation. 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, the then capital of the State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institution. Old Oglethorpe Col- lege was thus the first denominational college or university between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans south of the Vir- ginia 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 scien- tist and devoted Christian ; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of the old Oglethorpe that after four years of instruction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the Spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars. Shortly be- fore his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked 16 Oglethorpe University to a friend that the greatest moral impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe through the influ- ence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent alumni include gov- ernors, justices, moderators of the General Assembly, discov- erers, inventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb laborers for the highest ideals of humanity. Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg" for during the war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive the Institution in the 70' s and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster made the adventure impossible and unsuc- cessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed for the second time. In the meantime, there had come with the separation of the Northern and Southern Church, a condition of affairs which left the Southern half with no capstone to its educational sys- tem. The best minds of the Southern Church have been con- stantly restless under this fact. A number of efforts were made to restore the Presbyterian Church to its leadership in the edu- cational affairs of the South, but each failed for its own par- ticular reason. The really marvelous success which has attended the effort begun in the Spring of 1912 to found a great Southern Presby- terian University, has largely resulted from the determination of the men and women who form her constituency, that their denomination shall no longer be the only strong denomination in the South without a university for its student life. Their institution is named Oglethorpe, that the fine ideals and tra- ditions of those early years of struggle and achievement may be preserved and that whatever of failure and disappointment filled them may be retrieved. Only four years have elapsed since the campaign was begun and they have been years of financial disaster and utter tur- moil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of Oglethorpe Oglethorpe University 17 University are fast approaching the sum of a million dollars as the result of the most unusual and self-sacrificing liberality on the part of over five thousand people. The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on Jan- uary 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraven upon it: "Manu Dei Eesurrexit (By the Hand of God She has Eisen from the Dead.)" THE OPENING, SEPTEMBEB 20, 1916 So it comes to pass that Oglethorpe University, built by the Southern Presbyterian Church, with the aid of generous Atlan- tans of all faiths, opens its doors in the Fall of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife she rises to breathe the later airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite, trimmed with limestone, cov- ered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, is ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1916, when her first class gathers on her beautiful campus out Peachtree Eoad. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in the country is being formed. The work of raising funds goes steadily on. Ground has been cleared for the second building, which will be commenced as soon as the first is finished. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disaster 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 four years ago with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined to see that their city had a university as well as a band of far-seeing Presbyte- rian leaders, who wished to erect a capstone to their educational 18 Oglethorpe University system in this splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; of how the story has been told in church after church of the Presbyterian denomination all over the South from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia and from Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaign staged in this city just two years ago; all this is well known. During the last year the same wonderful record 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 $35,- 000.00. They are the Founders of Oglethorpe University; they belong to the great Founders' Club which is carrying the move- ment forward so splendidly. The immediate goal set for the present campaign is some- thing like $3,000,000.00. To this end the whole Southern Presbyterian Church is getting solidly back of the Institution with their money as well as their words of praise and prayer. HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY An idea of the quality of construction and design of the In- stitution may be gained from the accompanying illustrations. (See Frontispiece). It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist have spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful univer- sities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy varie- gated slate. The interior construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The first building, which is nearing completion, is the one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's-eye view. The space has been cleared for the erection of the second building, which is the one with the tower on the left of the entrance. The total cost of con- Oglethoepe University 19 struction of the buildings shown in the above design with the landscape work required, will be approximately $1,500,000.00. The building plan has been unanimously adopted and will be followed out in its entirety. HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the Institu- tion about which the men who are back of Oglethorpe arc most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of their uni- versity. To that end they have resolved to form a faculty and adopt a curriculum that will be of the highest possible quality, their thought being excellence in every department. They will gather all of the fine ideals of past efforts to found a Southern Presbyterian University and endeavor to weave their spirit into the life of their institution. They will take the superb tradi- tions of the old Oglethorpe and add the best of this present age to them. Doubtless Oglethorpe will be a big universitv 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' Eoom at Oglethorpe there will be a Book containing the names of every man, woman and child who aided in the founding of the University, arranged alphabeti- cally, 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 genera- tion. The Book is not yet complete, because the work is not yet finished and each month is adding many to this roll of honor, whose names will thus be preserved in the life and ar- chives of Oglethorpe University forever. STATE MEMORIAL BUILDINGS AND PROFESSORSHIPS The contributions made by the Founders of the University residing out of the city of Atlanta are being segregated and separately recorded. The Board of Directors has in mind the establishment of one or more memorial professorships or build- ings by each Southern State. Thus the local Synodical senti- ment and loyalty will be worked into the life of Oglethorpe and each of her students will feel that a part of its own com- monwealth is set down on her campus.

THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty whose spir- itual and intellectual equipment should be capable of satisfy- ing the tremendous demand of a really great institution of learning, has spared no efforts 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 intellectual acquirements adequate for their de- partment. The most important element in education is the creation in the student of an intense yearning for and delight 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.

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 specialists in professional and business life and teachers in our High Schools and Colleges and to supply the growing demand for specially equipped men in every de- partment of human activity. The instruction begins in Sep- tember, 1916, with the Freshman Class of the Collegiate Department; the Sophomore Class will be added in 1917, and the Junior and Senior Classes in 1918, and 1919, respectively. Certain post-graduate courses also, leading to the Master's and Doctors degrees, will be offered in 1916. Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President, in order that they may be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are being pro- vided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made of city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for observation, in- spection and investigation. The first unit of the building plan, ready for occupancy in the Fall, is the equivalent in capacity of four buildings, each 50 by 60 feet, three stories high. Of these, two are dormitories, one, lecture halls, laboratories and offices and the fourth, dining hall and refectory. There is also a central heating plant in addition.

History, Economics, Philosophy, Pedagogy. If German or French has not been offered for entrance, at least one year's study in whichever language is lacking will be required for the degree. Oglethorpe University 35 A preparatory Greek Class will be provided for those who ere not prepared to enter Greek (1), but this class will not be counted toward the degree. Laboratory work is connected with each class in Science, but is not included in the above enumeration or hours. THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com.)

In addition to the courses in the regular departments above indi- cated, the business life of the city of Atlanta will be used as a labora- tory for the instruction of our students in every phase of the modern business world. Prominent business men of the city will be used as lecturers in various phases of the commercial life of our country, in which they are expert. Actual inspection and work in some of the greatest business concerns of Atlanta will be given to those students in the higher classes who desire especially to acquaint themselves at first hand with the workings of great commercial enterprises. The courses in the School of Commerce are designed and offered specially for those young men who expect to give their lives to business affairs and who desire to devote their entire time while in college to the study of those subjects which will be of the greatest practical use to them in their business careers. Oglethorpe University thus takes a position of leadership in recognizing Business as a profession of equal dignity and depth with the so-called "learned" professions. GRADUATE SCHOOL It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University, beginning with the first year, to develop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering courses in all departments leading to the Doctor's degree in Science and Philosophy. 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 and Doctor's degrees in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate department heading. These degrees are based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved institution. In general, it may be said that the degree of Master of Arts will be given for one year of additional study in graduate subjects more or less related to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy Oglethorpe University 37 requires three years of graduate work. But neither degree is guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A certain amount of work must be accomplished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty. It is required that the candidate for Ph. D. demonstrate by examination not later than the end of his first year his ability to read German and French, and the stu- dent must have completed the undergraduate work in the subject to which he wishes to give his chief attention. In this connection, the prospective student will be interested in learning that all professors chosen as the heads of depart- ments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained the high- est academic degree offered in that department. This fact is mentioned in order 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 personal character. The President of the University will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be offered during 1916- 1917. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educational world looks toward the union of academic with professional education. The broadening effect of association of profes- sional students with other classmen on the university cam- pus, a,s well as the valuable opportunity for contact with aca- demic work, renders this connection highly desirable. It is the purpose of the University to enter the field of professional education as quickly as funds are secured to enable us to do so adequately. Schools of Engineering, Architecture, Dentistry, Law and Medicine will be established as opportunity offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot be executed with the same quality of matter and form that is offered in the best institutions of our country. 38 Oglethorpe University SPECIAL COURSES Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law or En- gineering and who do not desire to study for an Academic de- gree are allowed to take such courses as will lead to their pro- fessional work. Such students must present at least twelve units for entrance; of these four and one-half are required: English (3) and Mathematics (1%)- The following courses are suggested: Pre-Medical: First Year Physics (1), Chemistry (1), Biology (1), English (1), Bible (1), German (1). Second Year Physics (2), Chemistry (2), Biology (2), either Greek or French (1), Bible (2). Pre-Legal: First Year Economics, Chemistry (1), English (1), Bible (1), History (1) or (2), Latin (1). Second Year Psychology, Bible (2), German (1), French (1), Spanish (1). Pre-Engineering : First Year Mathematics (1), Physics (1), Chemistry (1), English (1), Bible (1), German (1). Second Year Mathematics (2), Physics (2), Chemis- try (2), French (1), Spanish (1). PRE-PROFESSIONAL WORK The attention of the prospective student should, however, be clearly called to the fact that each year finds it more neces- sary 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. Par- ticularly is this the case in Medicine, where the best medical colleges require a diploma from a standard college for en- trance. We would strongly advise our students to study the suggestions made on page thirty and have their college diploma safely in hand before they enter their professional studies. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1916-17 The policy of the Board of Directors of the University has been and will be to fasten slowly" in the work of organization of the institution. They have therefore decided to begin the first year's work with one class, the Freshman, although in or- der to meet the conditions arising from the unequal amounts of secondary preparation, courses in the Sophomore year will be offered to those students who are prepared for them. From the beginning such equipment as is necessary will be provided. The courses outlined herewith, are stated, therefore, fully for the Freshman year and in abbreviated form for the years to follow except in those departments for which full professors have been chosen and in which the Institution is ready to offer graduate as well as under-graduate courses. The courses offered for the year 1916-17 are as follows: BIBLICAL AND RELIGIOUS LITERATURE The course in English Bible extends over two years: it is required for B. A., B. S., B. Lit. and B. Com. degrees, and must be pursued by every under-graduate student. The first year will be devoted to the Old Testament, the sec- ond to the New Testament, together with the intervening period. The study will include the mastery of the history con- tained 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 impart such a knowledge of the subject as every intelligent man should possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and profit. The effort will be made to give the students the proper de- fense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the objections of un- believers. 40 Oglethorpe University Text-Books. The English Bible (with references) will be the chief text-book. Such other books as are needed will be indicated from time to time. This course will be followed in the Junior and Senior years by Psychology, Moral Philosophy, Theism, Ethics, and Evi- dences of Christianity. ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE . The traditions of Oglethorpe University, who numbers among her alumni, Sidney Lanier, one of the "Nine immortal Muses of America/' render it a necessary as well as a delight- ful task for the Institution to give full emphasis to this de- partment. The Freshman year will be concerned with a careful study of the best forms of English Literature, prose and poetry, with frequent exercises in the art of composition. The first half of the year will be devoted to the study of the best prose forms and the latter half to typical and representa- tive verse. In this connection the life and works of Sidney Lanier will be especially studied as an example of an illustrious national writer, born and educated in the South. In the Sophomore year courses will be offered covering a critical study of the earlier epochs of English Literature. The Junior year will continue in historical sequence and the Senior year will be concerned largely with American writers of prose and poetry. The courses will include frequent special lectures by visiting literati as well as by the Professor in charge. GREEK Three years of Greek will be offered in the under-graduate classes, together with a Preparatory Class for those who are unprepared for Greek (1). W M Oglethorpe University 41 Preparatory Greek. This class is designed not merely for those who have no knowledge of the language, but also for those whose preparation is inadequate. The most im- portant subjects, both in inflection and syntax, are pre- sented early in the course, and then, by a system of weekly reviews, are kept constantly fresh. Text-Books. Benner and Smyth's Beginner's Greek Book, Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White). 1. The preparation for entrance into this class is not so much a matter of time as of thoroughness. The stu- dent is expected to know the ordinary Attic inflections and syntax, to have read about one book of the Anabasis, and to have had considerable practice in translating English into Greek. The use of accents is required. A part of the work of this class consists of the minute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis of tenses, and the inflection of certain portions. Written translations of English into Greek are required once a week. On the other days a short oral exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson ; so that in each reci- tation some practice is had in translating English into Greek. Text-Books. Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White), Memorabilia, Adams' Lysias, Goodwin's Greek Grammar, Gleason's Greek Prose Composi- tion, Myers' Eastern Nations and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon (unabridged). 2. The authors read in this class are Demosthenes, Herodotus and Homer. The literature of the subject will also be studied, and some instruction will be given in Phonetics. 3. The time of this class will be divided between prose and poetry. After the study of Plato and Thucy- 42 Oglethorpe University dides, the reading of Sophocles or one of the other dra- matists will be taken up. The life of the ancient Greeks will also be considered. Graduate Courses. A brief statement of the work proposed may be given here. Fuller details will be announced later. Those who are thinking of taking the graduate courses are advised to write to the President or to the Professor, that their preliminary studies may be so guided as to fit them for the work. The requirements for entrance into these courses are given elsewhere in this catalogue, under the head of Graduate School. The work of this department may be considered under three heads, each running through three years: I. Literary. The aim will be to read a large amount of Greek. The first year will be devoted to Homer, the sec- ond to the Age of Pericles, the third to the later literature. II. Scientific. Certain philological subjects will be stu- died, such as the History of Classical Philology, Textual Criticism, Inscriptions, Palaeography, Archaeology. III. Practical. The student will be required to attend one of the under-graduate classes, and from time to time will conduct the recitation in the presence of the Professor, in order that he may gain some experience in teaching. COURSE IN NEW TESTAMENT GREEK As the International Sunday School Lessons for 1916 and a part of 1917 are to be in the New Testament, a class will be formed for the study of these lessons in Greek. No very learned exegesis will be attempted; the aim will be simply to read the Greek and explain the forms and syntax. This course is intended not merely for those who can read Greek, but also for those who have never studied the language. There will be Oglethorpe University 43 one meeting a week, at a time to be determined later. Some convenient place in Atlanta will probably be chosen for the meetings. The only book needed will be a copy of the New Testament in Greek ; the best is Westcott and Hort's New Tes- tament in Greek, Students' Edition, with vocabulary ($1.90). There will be no charge of any kind for this course. LATIN" 1. For entrance into this class the student is expected to have read the usual amounts of Caesar, Cicero and Ver- gil, as set forth under the head of Entrance Units. He must also be able to translate English into Latin with some facility. Livy, Cicero de Amicitia and Sallust's Jugurthine War will be studied in this year. A brief his- tory of Rome will atao be included. Prose composition, both oral and written, will be carried on throughout the year. Text-Books. Livy XXI, XXII (Greenough and Peck) Cicero de Amicitia, Sallust's Jugurthine War. Allen and Greenough's Latin Grammar, History of Rome, Harpers' Latin Dictionary. 2. The studies of this class will be in Cicero's Let- ters, Horace and Plautus. A course in Latin Literature will also be given. 3. This class will begin with Terence, and then take up Tacitus and Juvenal. Ancient Roman life will be con- sidered in this part of the course. Teachers' Course. A course of instruction will be given for teachers in and near Atlanta. The aim will be to suggest methods for beginners and for classes in Caesar, Cicero and Vergil. Certain departments of the grammar will be dis- cussed, e. g., the Subjunctive Mood; scanning will be illus- trated, and attention given to topics which have caused diffi- culty to teachers. Suggestions will be made as to the best 44 Oglethorpe University means of helping pupils to acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of procedure and the subjects treated will depend somewhat on the personnel of the class. The work will be undertaken if as many as ten persons offer themselves. A nominal charge of one dollar for the course will be made for each member of the class. This class will prob- ably meet on Saturday. Graduate Course for Special Students. Persons who are teaching or otherwise occupied during the week and who would like to do some graduate work in Latin or Greek by coming on Saturdays, should communicate with the Professor. FRENCH For the present a two years' course in French will be offered. 1. This is a class for beginners, but the idea is to ad- vance as rapidly as possible to a reading knowledge of the language. Careful attention will be given from the first to pronunciation. Text-Books. Fraser and Squair's French Grammar; a French Keader, to be followed by some simple text. 2. The aim of this class will be to read more rapidly both prose and poetry. French History and Literature will also be studied. PHILOSOPHY, PEDAGOGY, ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY As these are Junior and Senior studies, they will not be of- fered the first year. Provision will be made for them at the proper time. MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY 1. Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. Conant. First Half of Freshman Year. 2. Higher Algebra. Fisher and Schwatt. Infinite series, binomial theorem, logarithms, permutations, combinations and theory of equations. Last Half of Freshman Year.

Last Half of Senior Year. The courses for higher degrees will be announced at some later time. They will deal with special modern aspects of the field of Mathematics. Work leading to degree of A. M. is offered be- ginning in 1916. 46 Oglethorpe University The Stacy-Capers Telescope. By the generosity of Eev. T. Stacy Capers the University has received the gift of the excellent refraction telescope, formerly the property of Dr. James Stacy, his uncle, for so many years pastor of the Pres- byterian Church at Newnan and Stated Clerk of the Synod of Georgia. Dr. Stacy, in whose memory Mr. Capers gave the instrument, was an alumnus of the old Oglethorpe. HISTORY 1 and 2. Mediaeval and Modern History of Europe. A survey of Continental Europe and Great Britain from the time of Charlemagne, 800 A. D., to the latter part of the nine- teenth century, emphasis being laid on the leading institu- tions, epochal events, and dominant personalities of the sev- eral periods. Instruction will be imparted by means of lec- tures, text-books, maps and papers, text used being that of S. B. Harding. Freshman Class, Fall and Spring Semesters. 3. Eenaissance and Reformation. 1300-1555. Lectures, text-books (Seebohm's and Fisher's) ; collateral reading and preparation of papers.
