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 em-
pyrean 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 trans-
parent with honesty. Lead Thou unto me, Lord God,
those whom Thou hast appointed to be my children, and
when they shall come who would learn of me the wis-
dom 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 hlm who has gently led me
unto this good day. Rock-ribbed 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
wines 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 General Board of Trustees and
Founders meets at least once each year, at com-
mencement time, on the university campus near At-
lanta, to inspect the institution, to review all matters
of large importance in the University, and to give di-
rections to the Executive Committee which is elected
by them and from their number, and which attends to
the details of management of the Institution between
the meetings of the Board of Founders. Each member
of the Board represents a gift of two thousand 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.

Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the
management of an institution. It is already in opera-
tion and its perfect practicability is largely respon-
sible for the marvelous success 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.

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 Institu-
tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de-
nominational college or university between the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Oceans south of the Virginia line, and,
of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that
brilliant company of institutions which were born
after her in this vast empire.

The facilities of the Old Oglethorpe were adequate
for the time. The main building was probably the
handsomest college structure in the Southeast when
it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel
in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or
Princeton."

In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the
names of men who are world-famous. Among these
were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James
Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and

18 Oglethorpe University

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 18S0 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 moral impulse of his life
had come to him during his college days at Ogle-
thorpe through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her
other eminent alumni include governors, justices,
moderators of the General Assembly, discoverers, in-
ventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb
laborers for the highest ideals of humanity.

Oglethorpe, "died at Gettysburg," for during the
war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in
Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as bar-
racks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was
made to revive the institution in the 70's and to lo-
cate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days
and financial disaster made the adventure impossible
and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of strug-
gle the doors were closed for the second time.

Only fourteen 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, 1925, with her trustful motto engrav-

Oglethorpe University 19

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 thirteen years ago
with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it
soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta
men who determined to see that their city had a uni-
versity, as well as a band of far-seeing educational
leaders, who wished to erect a certain high type of
institution in this splendid metropolis. The story of
how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of
four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men
gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; of how
the story has been told in cities, towns and country
all over the South from Galveston, Tex., to Char-
lottesville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to
Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the At-

20 Oglethorpe University

lanta campaign staged in this city just twelve years
ago ; all this is well known. Since that time 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 $75,000.00. They are the Foun-
ders of the University ; they belong to the great Foun-
ders' 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 Mr. and
Mrs. Lupton, our beloved benefactors, is the one with
the tower just opposite on the left of the entrance.
Lowry Hall will shortly rise 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 $3,000,000. The building plan will be
followed out in its entirety.

HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS

But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of

Oglkthobfe University 21

the institution about which the men who are founding
Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and
intellectual life of their university. To that end they
have resolved to form a faculty and adopt 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 role of honor, whose names will
thus be preserved in the life and archives of Ogle-
thorpe University forever.

CLOCK AND CHIMES

In the tower of the new building given by Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes,
with two dials and night illumination, the gift of
Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. It
is interesting to note that this is the only tower clock
in Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus
in Georgia. On the largest of the bells, which weighs

22 .Oglethorpe University

a ton, is the following inscription.

We were given by

Grace Josephine Lesh

That the hours at Oglethorpe

Might be filled with

Music and Harmony.

THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University,
realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a
faculty whose spiritual and intellectual equipment
should be capable of satisfying the tremendous de-
mand of a really great institution of learning, has
spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men
who would not only possess that first requisite of a
teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two
other requisites of almost equal importance: power
of imparting their ideals and knowledge, and intellec-
tual acquirements adequate for their department.
The most important element in education is the creat-
ing in the student of an intense yearning for and de-
light in the Good, the True and the Beautiful, and
the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is
the example set before him by the Faculty. The ob-
ject of an Oglethorpe education is to furnish the stu-
dent with deeper thoughts, finer emotions and nobler
purposes to the end that he may more clearly under-
stand, more fully enjoy and more excellently behave
in the world. The University now has a corps of
teachers unsurpassed in any institution of its size
and age. The names are given in the order of their
election.

Oglethorpe University 31

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-
ers in our High Schools and Colleges, and to supply
the growing demand for specially equipped men in
every department of human activity.

Students who are looking forward to university
work are invited to correspond with the President, in
order that they may be putting themselves in line for
the advanced courses which are to be offered.

Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are be-
ing provided as the need for them arises. Free use
will be made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remark-
able laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose
museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the
disposal of our students for observation, inspection
and investigation.

A glance at the frontispiece of the catalogue, show-
ing Bird's Eye View of the University, gives the stu-
dent an idea of the quality of the buildings and the
lay out of the campus. This campus consists of ap-
proximately one hundred and seventy-five acres of
land, not including an eighty acre lake which adjoins
the northwestern corner of the campus. It is located on
Peachtree Road, and immediately in front of the en-
trance is the terminus of the Oglethorpe University
street car line, and an attractive little stone station of
the Southern Railway main line between Atlanta and
Washington. The first building to be located on the
campus, the Administration Building, contains the
dining room in the basement, chemistry and physics

32 Oglethorpe University

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, Assembly Hall seating approximately six hun-
dred, equipped also as a school theatre for the presen-
tation of student dramas, and in the basement basket-
ball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers and
quarters for the Oglethorpe University Press. This
latter is equipped with a Babcock optimus press, lino-
type machine and a couple of smaller presses with a
number of type stands and other printing equipment
given by a warm friend of the college. The construc-
tion has been begun on Lowry Hall which will house
the Lowry School of Banking and Commerce and
should be ready for occupancy within a year of the
issuance of this catalogue. It will contain class rooms
and dormitories and will stand as a perpetual mem-
orial to the generosity of Colonel R. J. Lowry and Em-
ma Markham Lowry.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, Business

Administration, Literature and Journalism,

And Education

The requirement for entrance to the Academic
Schools of Oglethorpe University is either a certifi-
cate of qualification from an accredited High School,
or an examination on the equivalent preparation. The
candidates must present at least three units in Eng-
lish and three units in mathematics. In the School
of Liberal Arts, three units of Latin must also be of-
fered; in the School of Science two years of language
work are required. A unit represents a year's study
in any subject in a secondary school, constituting ap-
proximately a quarter of a full year's work.

The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully
acquainted with the educational situation in the
South and have not lost sight of the frequent insuf-
ficiencies of preparation of prospective students
brought about by inadequate high school facilities. It
is the purpose of the University to make its degrees
represent high attainment, but to furnish such facil-
ities for students that this attainment will be fairly
simple and easy. It is not our purpose by the adop-
tion of specially high entrance requirements to drive
away any students from our institution. Adequate
arrangements will be made for aiding any student
who may be behind in his preparation in so far as
such aid is consistent with the collegiate require-
ments.

The President of the University will gladly answer
any inquiries as to further details of entrance re-
quirements, upon request. An application blank will
be found at the close of the catalogue. It is well for
the prospective student to apply as early as possible.
A blank for High School Certificate may be obtained
by writing to the Registrar.

Students who wish credit for college work done
elsewhere must file with the Registrar a certificate
from the institution in which the work was done. The
institution must be one that is recognized by the
Faculty of Oglethorpe University, and the work must
be satisfactory to the professor of that department.

SPECIAL STUDENTS

Students over twenty years of age may be admit-
ted for special study upon satisfying the Faculty as
to their ability to do the work of the classes which
they wish to enter. Such students may become reg-
ular only by absolving all entrance requirements.

REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS

1. A student whose term grade in any subject
lies between 70 and 60 per cent may have two re-ex-
aminations and no more. These examinations for
Fall and Winter Term conditions, will be set at the
end of the succeeding term, and at the beginning of
the next session.

Examinations for removal of Spring Term condi-
tions will be set at the beginning and end of the Fall
Term of the next session.

2. A student whose term grade in any subject
lies between 60 and 40 per cent may have one re-ex-
amination and no more at the beginning of the next
session.

36 Oglethorpe University

3. A student failing in both re-examinations in
the first case or in the one re-examination in the sec-
ond case will take the subject over in class.

4. A student whose term grade in any subject
lies below 40 per cent will not be entitled to re-ex-
amination, but will be required to take the subject
over in class.

5. The summer term may be devoted to work
preparatory to condition examinations, as deficient
students will not be permitted to carry extra work
during the nine months' session.

6. Conditioned students absent from the regular
condition examination must present an excuse satis-
factory to the professor in charge of the subject or
receive a zero for the examination. When an ex-
cuse has been accepted a special examination will be
held for which a fee of two dollars shall be charged,
which shall go to the library of that department.

7. No student with more than three term condi-
tions may be permitted to register as a member of
the next higher class, but shall be considered a mem-
ber of the same class as the year before, until the
number of his unremoved conditions shall not exceed
three.

8. Conditions whether due to failure, to incom-
plete work, or to absence, must be made up within a
year or the subject repeated in class.

9. A student failing on two-thirds of his courses
will not be entitled to re-examination; and in case he
fails on two-thirds of his course for two consecutive
terms, he will be required to withdraw from the Uni-
versity.

Oglethorpe University 37

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR DEGREES

In the session of 1926-27 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the undergraduate Classes of five
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 out-lined 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.

By a careful study of the courses outlined below,
the student will be easily, able to make a choice most
suitable to his tastes and probable future life.

In general, it may be suggested that those stu-
dents preparing to enter such professions as- the min-
istry or law, will choose the B. A. course in Classics;
those looking forward to medicine, dentistry and other
scientific work, the B. A. course in Science; those ex-
pecting to enter the literary and journalistic field,
the B. A. course in Literature, and those who intend
to spend their lives in the business world, the B. A.
course in Commerce; those who expect to teach, the
B. A. course in Education.

38

Oglethorpe University

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.

THE HONORS COURSE AT OGLETHORPE

17

The Honors Course at Oglethorpe University has
been planned to fill a very definite need of present day
education. With the elective system in operation
everywhere and with the multiplication of schools
and departments and courses in our American uni-
versites, the college student is frequently bewildered
as to what subjects he should choose and what courses
to pursue. Specialization also has gone so far in our
institutions that young men, after studying hard for
four years in one department or another, find that

Oglethorpe University 45

they have omitted many objects which, among the
best educated, are considered essential to full culture.
The President of the University has, therefore, pre-
pared, and the Faculty and Executive Committee of
the University have approved, the following course of
study to meet this situation and supply the need aris-
ing from it. The courses offered are designed to lay
a satisfactory foundation for the understanding and
enjoyment of life. While they adequately prepare a
student for any of the professions, in so far as col-
lege work can do so, and for business life as well, yet
they are not exclusively utilitarian. They are intend-
ed to develop and sustain a great soul, to acquaint
him with the fundamental lines of progress of the
human race and place him in position to interpret life
to his fellowmen.

The 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
superior mental tests. To this end, the President will

46 Oglethorpe University

accept for the course only those students who can
qualify for the prescribed requirements. If at the
end of the first term, and 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.

Mathematics 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

48 Oglethorpe University

student an adequate idea of the house in which he
lives during the remainder of his days. The course
in the Old Testament runs parallel partly with that
of Freshman history and lays the foundation for his
moral and ethical thinking. In addition to the above,
the student is required to take regular work in phy-
sical culture.

In the Sophomore year, the courses are as follows :

Hrs. New Testament 2

English 3 Bookkeeping S

Latin 3 Economics 3

Modern Language 3 Physical Culture

Biology 5

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.

"Till this I learned, that he tvho buildeth well

The courses in the Junior year are as follows :

Hrs.

English 3 Psychology 3

Modern Language 3 Sociology 3

Chemistry 5 Physical Culture

History 3

Commercial Law 3

Geology 3 26

In the Junior year, the course in English broadens
still further the student's knowledge of literature.
The second modern language is taken up. The work
in chemistry interprets to him the constitution of the
v/orld in which he is living. The course in history
covers the story of continental Europe in its broad
outlines. The work in Commercial Law lays the foun-
dations for intelligent management of his business af-
fairs. A year in geology, including a short review of
paleontology, reveals to him the marvelous story of
the earth on which he is living. A year in Psychology
acquaints him with the processes of his own soul, and
the work in Sociology orientates him with respect to
society. To these also is added the work in physical
culture.

In the Senior year, the courses are as follows:

Hrs.

English 3 Anthropology : 3

History 3 Marketing 3

Mod. Language 3 Cosmic History 1

Political Science 3

Astronomy 3

History of Art 3 25

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

50 Oglethorpe University

widen our student's knowledge of the finest creative
work in his language. The course in history covers
the story of England and America. The second mod-
ern language begun in the junior year is continued.
A year is spent in the study of civics and politics to
prepare our student for an intelligent exercise of his
duty as a citizen. A year in astronomy gives to him
a better grasp of the universe and bestows upon him
a sense of direction and orientation with respect to
his environment. His work in anthropology covers
the whole long story of the development of man. The
work in the history of art includes architecture, sculp-
ture, painting and music, and by acquainting him with
the great works of the past enables him to enjoy and
create art during his life time. The study of market-
ing introduces him to the whole vast field of distri-
buting the products of the world's industry. To this
is added the course in Cosmic History, a sort of in-
troduction to life by the President of the college; and
che 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 as high as 93 will re-
ceive the Coat of Arms Sweater, these conditions be-

Oglethorpe University 51

ing the same as those outlined for all students at the
college.

The University recognizes the fact that a vast ac-
cumulation of information even though it be organiz-
ed by a well-trained intellect is utterly incomplete and
even dangerous unless the whole is controlled by a fine
moral purpose and utilized in excellent personal con-
duct. It is a tradition of the University that a close
association should be maintained between education
and righteousness, a fixed alliance of morality with
enlightenment. We feel that to furnish the highest
intellectual training to liars, thieves, adulturers, or
crooks would be calamitous to society whose leaders
and examples they would be.

All Honor Students at Oglethorpe, therefore, are
required to observe the following laws:

First, the law of personal honesty, forbidding all
cheating on examinations, all thefts, minor and ma-
jor.

The law of personal truthfulness, which forbids all
deceit of every kind whatsoever and particularly in a
form of misrepresentation or lying.

The law of personal purity which commands perfect
continence.

The law of loyalty which aligns the student with
all that is best in the traditions of his Alma Mater
and pledges his active support thereto, above any sub-
sidiary college organization such as societies, frater-
nities, clubs and others. This covers also abstention
from all forms of hazing, and a pledge of his support
to the faculty in preventing same.

The law of self-control which, while partly covered

52 Oglethorpe University

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 is 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 Doctor's de-
gree in Science and Philosophy. In supplying this
need, which has for a long while been acutely felt in
the South, the management of the Univesity will be
content with only the very highest grade of work and
facilities.

Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's de-
grees in certain departments will be found outlined
elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate de-
partment heading. These degrees are based on that
of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of
some other approved institution. For the Master's
degree the candidate must have an aggregate of
twelve hours of graduate work, two full terms to be
spent in residence here, and the candidate must have
work with at least two Professors. The degree of
Doctor of Philosophy requires at least 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 can-
didate for Ph. D., demonstrate by examination not
later than the end of his first year, his ability to read
German and French, and the student must have com-
pleted the undergraduate work in the subject to
which he wishes to give his chief attention. A thesis
must be submitted, showing original work. The Fac-
ulty hope to develop the Ph. D., courses when the
equipment is adequate.

In this connection, the prospective student will be

54 Oglethorpe University

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
jSoard 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 professions 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 has discontinued 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

Oglethorpe University 55

course which we recommend for them is that leading
to Bachelor of Arts in Science, outlined on pages 39
and 40. As a suggestion for those students who plan
to enter law school and dental college, undertaking a
two-year pre-professional course, the following out-
line of studies is recommended:

THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE
Cosmic History by President Jacobs

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

ASTRONOMY

Professor Aldrich

I. Descriptive Astronomy: A study of the solar
and stellar systems together with a consideration of
the instruments used and methods employed. Three
hours per week throughout the year. Text: Jones'
General Astronomy.

II. Laboratory Astronomy: Exercises and ob-
servations involving the fundamentals of the
processes used in practical Astronomy and Astrophy-
sics. One period per week throughout the year.

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
focal length of ninety inches. It was formerly the
property of the uncle of the donor who was an alum-
nus of the Old Oglethorpe and is named in honor of
them both.

BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY

The course in English Bible extends over two years ;
it is required for the B. A. degree in all five depart-
ments, and must be pursued by every under-graduate
student.

The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the
second to the New Testament, together with the in-
tervening period. The study will include the mastery
of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of
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.

Text-Books Bible 1. English Bible, Moorehead's

phy, and Evidences of Christianity.

Psychology. An elementary course in Theoretical
Psychology, with some collateral study in Philosophy.
Required for all Juniors in the Classical, Scientific,
Literary and Educational Schools. Three hours a
week.

Text-Books. Pillsbury's Essentials of Psychology;
collateral reading in the library.

Ethics, History of Philosophy, Evidences of Christ-
ianity. Each of these subjects will occupy one term.
Required for all Seniors in the Classical, Scientific,
Literary and Educational Schools. Three hours a
week. Open to Seniors.

Text-Books. Davis's Elements of Ethics, Weber's
History of Philosophy, Wright's Evidences of Christ-
ianity.

BIOLOGY

Associate Professor Hunt G. H. O'Kelley

E. L. Shepherd
I. General Biology.

1. (a) Open to all students without previous train-
ing in science. Two recitations and four hours of lab-
oratory work weekly throughout the year.

An introductory course in the principles of animal
and plant biology presenting the fundamental facts
of vital structure and function. Some conception of
the evolution of plants and animals is given by the

Oglethorpe University 59

laboratory study of a series of types beginning with
the unicellular. This is supplemented by lectures that
give a synchronous running account of the underlying
principles and biological theories.

I. (b) This course is designed for pre-medical stu-
dents only. Three recitations and a minimum of six
hours of laboratory work weekly throughout the year.

It is planned to give training in methods of exact
observation and deduction and to give the fundamen-
tals in this branch of science so necessary to the med-
ical student. Selected animal types are studied, es-
pecial attention being given the higher forms, and, in
so far as is possible, types which have a direct bear-
ing upon the health of man, as viewed from the med-
ical standpoint.

II. Microscopical Technique.

Open to students who have completed Biology 1.
One lecture and five hours of laboratory work weekly
throughout the year.

A laboratory course designed to introduce the stu-
dent to the methods used in the preparation of plant
and animal tissues for the microscope.

III. Vertebrate Morphology.

This course is designed for pre-medical students
only. Three recitations and a minimum of six hours
of laboratory work weekly throughout the year.

A course in the phylogeny of man and mammals.
The laboratory work consists largely of the dissection
of the dogfish and cat. Each organ system is studied
with reference to its development, anatomy, and phy-
siology. Instruction is based so far as possible on
observations made in laboratory experiments, and on

60 Oglethorpe University

demonstrations. The facts observed are discussed in
lectures and quizzes. In the lectures free use is made
of charts, models, and microscopical sections. Week-
ly oral quizzes are supplemented by written tests giv-
en upon the completion of some general division of
the subject. This course is recommended as a pre-
paration for human anatomy, to those who intend to
enter on medicine. Although this course is optional
according to the requirements of the medical school
the student proposes to attend, it should be distinctly
understood that the University does not look with
favor upon those who comply merely with a minimum
of the requirements for admission to such schools.

IV. Physiology and Hygiene.

Required of all freshmen. One lecture weekly
throughout the year.

This course is designed to give the student such
knowledge of his own body as to enable him to care
for it properly and develop habits that will bring out
his best possibilities.

CHEMISTRY

Professor Sellers J. L. Jackson

W. H. Kent
Joseph H. Watkins

1. General Inorganic Chemistry.

Lectures, demonstrations, recitations and labora-
tory exercises. During the year, as the students are
studying the subject, the work of the laboratory is
closely co-ordinated with that of the text. In the
spring term lectures on industrial chemistry are giv-
en, illustrated by inspection of local manufacturing
plants.

Oglethorpe University 61

Three lectures and recitations, and four laboratory-
hours a week, three terms. Credit five hours.

2. Analytical Chemistry

(a) Qualitative Analysis.

A study of the analytical processes, including the
separation and detection of acid and basic ions. Stu-
dents are expected to emphasize the science rather
than the art of qualitative analysis. Hence, the sub-
ject is presented in the light of the laws of mass ac-
tion, the ionic theory, etc.

(b) Quantitative Analysis.

Each student has his course arranged with refer-
ence to his particular requirement in quantitative an-
alysis.

One lecture and eight laboratory hours a week for
three terms are required for the two sub-courses (a)
and (b).

One lecture and eight laboratory hours a week, for
three terms, for combined courses (a) and (b). Credit
five hours. Prerequisite, Chemistry 1.

3. Organic Chemistry.

Lectures, demonstrations and laboratory exercises.
The time devoted to lecture is about equally divided
between the study of the aliphatic and the aromatic
series. Three lectures and four or six laboratory
hours a week. Three terms. Credit, five or six hours.

Prerequisite, Chemistry 1.

4. Physiological Chemistry.

A study of the chemical composition of food-stuffs,
of the various tissues, secretions, etc., of the body.

62 Oglethorpe University

Three lectures and four laboratory hours a week,

sive study in special fields. The summer courses,
though not identical with the winter courses, are
planned along similar lines, and give corresponding

tion of his requirements for a degree in the sum-
mer.

For graduate students work is offered leading to
the degree of M. A.

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.

Preparatory Greek. This class is designed not mere-
ly for those who have no knowledge of the language,
but also for those whose preparation is inadequate.
The most important subjects, both in inflection and
syntax, are presented early in the course, and then,
by a system of weekly reviews, are kept constantly
fresh.

Text-Books: White's First Greek Book, Xenophon's
Anabasis (Goodwin and White). Three times a week
throughout the year. Elective.

Greek 1. The preparation for entrance into this
class is not so much a matter of time as of thorough-
ness. The student 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

68 Oglethorpe University

minute study of the verbs, their principal parts, syn-
opsis of tenses, and the inflection of certain portions.

Written translations of English into Greek are re-
quired once a week. On the other days a short oral
exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson; so
that in each recitation some practice is had in trans-
lating English into Greek.

Text-Books: Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and
White), Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias, Goodwin's
Greek Grammar, Pearson's Greek Prose Composition,
Myers's Eastern Nations and Greece, Liddell and

phreys), Herodotus (Smith & Laird), Homer's Iliad
(Seymour), Demosthenes and Herodotus (Ancient
Classics for English Readers), Church's Stories from
Homer, Fowler's Greek Literature. Three times a
week throughout the year. Elective.

Greek 3. The time of this class will be divided
between prose and poetry. After the study of Thucy-

THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
COMMERCE AND FINANCE

Undergraduate Course Leading to the Degree of Bach-
elor of Arts (B. A.) in Commerce

Professor A. S. Libby Ass't. Prof. C. S. Libby

Ass't. Prof. C. E. Cagle

The school of Business Administration, Commerce
and Finance is an undergraduate-graduate school,
one of the professional divisions of the University. In-
struction is therefore directed toward professional
education rather than narrow technical drill. En-
trance requirements for the undergraduate work are
the same as for the School of Liberal Arts, except
that Ancient Language is not required. Modern
Language, especially Spanish or French, is strongly
advised. Shorthand and typewriting are neither re-
quired nor later counted toward a degree, but are
strongly recommended.

The graduate work is based upon the Bachelor's
Degree from an accredited institution.

Economics Its laws and principles with special
reference to American conditions. The course pre-
sents a general survey and is designed to serve as an
introduction to later and more intensive study of the
problems of industrial society.

Economic and Commercial Geography A study of
resources and industries as influenced by geographic
conditions. The geography of the more important
commercial products of the farm, range, forest, mine,
factory and sea; continental and oceanic trade routes;
great commercial nations.

American Government and Politics- Analysis of
the structure and workings of the government in the

78 Oglethorpe University

United States, local, state, and national ; the organiza-
tion and activities of state and federal administration,
with the fundamental legal and political principles
governing it. This course alternates with Compara-
tive Government.

Accounting Principles An elementary course based
on the use made of financial statements in business
organization and control. The student is familiarized,
through practice and discussion, with the entire ac-
counting process, beginning with the voucher and end-
ing with the report. The last part of the course is
devoted to the consideration of the typical financial
statements and their analysis from the standpoint of
the various interests involved. The method of in-
struction is a combination of lectures and discussions,
supplemented by laboratory practice.

Business Communication A study of the com-
munication function in business and of the technique
which is common to all forms of business communica-
tion; discussed in its psychological, rhetorical, graphic
and typographical aspects. The practice work is or-
ganized around Material, Attention, Interest, Under-
standing, Belief, Action and Good Will. It includes
the assembling of the data from letters, editorials
and business articles.

This course has a twofold purpose: (1) to give
the information about the communicating activities
of business and the skill in the presentation of bus-
iness material which all business workers need, and
(2) to provide the foundation necessary for an ad-
vanced study of correspondence and advertising prob-
lems.

Business Psychology Business problems from the
psychological point of view. (1) Psychological facts

Oglethorpe University 79

and principles applicable to the conduct of business
operations: (2) possibilities and limitations of psy-
chological method and approach to business problems.
Among the topics discussed are the hiring and in-
structing of employees, vocational adjustment, group
efficiency, advertising and selling.

Financial Organization of Society A study of the
nature and work of the various types of financial in-
stitutions in the modern business world, the forces
that have led to their development, and their rela-
tion to the organization of industrial society. The
principal forms of financial institutions covered are:
coinage and monetary systems; credit; commercial
banks; savings banks; bondhouses; trust companies;
stock exchanges; the various forms of co-operative
associations; also a brief study of the functions of
the corporation and the insurance company as fin-
ancial institutions. Each of these institutions plays
its own part in the industrial system, and together,
in their many interrelations, they make up the finan-
cial structure of society.

Labor Conditions and Problems A general survey
analytical, causal and historical, of the main forces
and factors which give rise to modern labor conditions
and problems and which, therefore, must be taken in-
to consideration in the attempted solution of specific
labor problems, together with a brief discussion of
social programs, organized labor, and labor legisla-
tion. This course is designed to serve as the foun-
dation for the special courses in this field as well as
to meet the needs of those who wish only a general
study of labor problems. Its main divisions are the
genesis, evolution, and character of present-day labor
problems; the material progress and present condi-
tion of the wage-earning class, wages, hours of work,

80 Oglethorpe University

unemployment, property holdings, and distribution of
income, among other things, being considered; points
of view and social programs; the philosophy, policies
and methods of organized labor, arbitration and so-
cial insurance.

tories; (3) the problems of buying and selling insur-
ance; regulation of insurance by the state; state in-
surance.

Marketing 1 Raw Materials A survey of the
method and problems connected with the marketing
of raw materials. A study is made of farm products,
mineral products, forest products, and sea products,
and the physical and geographical environment of the
productive regions to discover their commercial prob-
lems. The course falls into three general divisions:
(1) The commodity; (2) the markets; (3) the trade
organization. Special study is made of the problems
of the middlemen, transportation, warehousing, or-
ganized exchanges and produce markets, market news,
financing the market and market price. These prob-
lems are analyzed in classroom discussion as they ap-
pear in the marketing of four or five great staple com-
modities. Theory and practice are balanced by visits

Oglethorpe University 31

to warehouses, cold storages, produce markets, and
other specialized markets.

Each student is required to select a commodity and
trace it through its entire marketing process. The
information for these papers is secured through gov-
ernment bulletins, market reports, technical and
scientific literature, and by interviews and observa-
tion. Special emphasis is placed upon first-hand in-
formation.

Marketing 2 Manufactured Goods In the prob-
lems and methods of marketing manufactured pro-
ducts, the same general divisions are made: (1) the
commodity; (2) the market; (3) the trade organiza-
tion. The classroom discussion will consider the gen-
eral problems confronting a merchant with goods to
sell ; organization of a business ; duties and respon-
sibilities of the sales manager, the advertising man-
ager, and the advertising agency ; application of scien-
tific principles to commercial analysis; location; ana-
lysis of a commodity; purchasing problem, stock
plans; analysis of market; analysis of trade organi-
zation, department store, chain-store, mail-order
house, co-operative store; price policy, price mainten-
ance, credit; opportunities for extending the market;
selection and organization of the sales force; selec-
tion of advertising mediums; financing a sales and ad-
vertising organization; co-ordinating the selling
forces. The aim is to define and outline the general
principles of commercial analysis, which includes the
work of both salesmen and advertising men. The
literature that is available on these problems is as-
signed for reading.

As in Course 1 above, the student is required to
make first-hand investigation and written reports of

82 Oglethorpe University

the problems, in local establishments.

Marketing 3 Foreign Trade The marketing prob-
lems arising are : theories of foreign trade ; character
and volume of trade available for foreign commerce;
contact with the foreign market, commission house,
forwarding agent, manufacturers' agent, indent mer-
chant, traveling salesmen, export departments; for-
eign correspondence; advertising in the foreign mar-
ket; combining for foreign trade; prices in foreign
trade; foreign exchange, credit, price quotations;
transportations; marine insurance; tariffs; merchant
marine; individual foreign markets. The point of
view is that of an inland city like Atlanta. The prob-
lems are conditioned by this fact.

Marketing 4 Problems of Marketing and Merchan-
dising -A wide range of problems of manufacture
and distribution.

As in courses 1 and 2, each student will select a
single commodity for detail study. The investigation
will be developed into a term paper dealing with the
selected product in the various foreign markets, with
the effects of the European war, and with the future
possibilities. An attempt will be made to clear away
the obscurities surrounding the subject of foreign
trade by following a commodity through to its desti-
nation, with samples of all the necessary documents.

means of control now struggling and their application
in different fields. Its topics will include the kinds
of useful work; the general presumption in favor of
private enterprise; its shortcomings as an organizing
force, and the weakening of individual's positions in
a free-exchange economy resulting from (1) massing
of technical capital; (2) growth of specialized know-
ledge before which common intelligence is at a disad-
vantage; (3) conflicts of interests which the law of
property and contract cannot fully harmonize and
(4) other causes. Chief emphasis will be laid on the
problems common to trusts, railroads, and public util-
ities, arising from fixed capital, untraced expenses,
increasing returns, and the resulting tendencies to
monopoly.

dustrial Society The structure, institutions, and op-
eration of industrial society; medieval industrial so-
ciety and the evolution of modern capitalistic indus-
try; private exchange co-operation; the pecuniary or-

commerce; (3) factors affecting commerce with South
America; (4) commercial prospects in South America.

Industrial Administration 1 Designed primarily
for those students expecting to enter the manufactur-
ing field. It presupposes the courses Industrial So-
ciety, Business Administration, Statistics, Accounting,
and some ability to undertake independent investiga-
tion. The course deals with the nature and charac-
teristics of the complex problems of the industrial
executive, and systematic methods of such problems,
aiming thus to provide the student with a sense of
relative values and some method for later intensive
research on his own initiative. The work is made
practical by independent investigation in factories of
various types.

Industrial Administration II A continuation of In-
dustrial Administration I with similar objectives. The
more important "philosophies of administration" which
help to solve the manufacturer's problems; a rapid
survey of the history of industrial engineering;
theories, principles, methods of approach, devices,
and their application to various types of industry.
This work is made practical through personal inter-
views with men who have developed the more im-
portant philosophies of administration.

Commercial Law (A three-term course) Ordinari-
ly in non-commercial affairs the risks incident to
ignorance of the law are not particularly formidable.
A working knowledge of the rules of the Commercial
Law is of practical value to every citizen, but to the
successful business man of today it is indispensable.

Successful completing of this course will make
available to the student all substantive law courses
offered in any law school. Among the subjects are:

Oglethorpe University 87

Contracts, negotiable instrument, agency, partner-
ship, corporations, sales, bailments, carriers, guaranty
and suretyship, insurance, wills, etc.

The case system of instruction is employed.

Scientific Management and Labor Laying stress
on the practical application and methods of the most
complete and consistent recent tendencies. The prin-
ciples of scientific management and their wide applic-
ability to various manufacturing activities. Each
student is expected to make first-hand investigation
in one or more factories in Atlanta and vicinity, ex-
emplifying as far as possible the type of production
in which he is most interested, studying the problems
of store-handling, routing, tool-room maintenance,
cost keeping, worked material and tool standardiza-
tion and classification, in making route charts, and in
devising production systems.

Industrial Combinations The conditions in modern
industrial society which have led to the growth of
combinations, an analysis of the motives for their for-
mation, the sources of their power and the elements
of their weakness, the character and extent of any
possible social advantages to be derived from them as
well as the disadvantages and evils which have fol-
lowed their growth, the attempts at state and federal
regulation in the past, and the question of the desir-
able policy and feasible methods of control for the fu-
ture. The subject is treated as a single problem of
modern industrial society, with emphasis on methods
of investigation, analysis and reasoning essential for
the study of similar problems.

Corporation Finance A study of the corporation,
primarily with reference to its financial management.
The more important topics include the financial side

88 Oglethorpe University

of organization and promotion, amount of capitaliza-
tion, choice of different types of securities to be is-
sued, method of selling securities and raising addi-
tional capitol, financial policy with reference to divi-
dend, surplus, accounting practice, etc., insolvency
and reorganization and the problems and methods of
social control of the financial management of corpora-
tions.

Investment Various types of investment includ-
ing government, state, municipal bonds, securities of
railway, public utility, industrial, and mining com-
panies, and real estate investments; the characteris-
tics of each and their relative fitness to meet the
needs of different classes of investors; methods and
sources of information for determining the value of
such investments; general industrial and financial
conditions affecting changes in their value; the in-
stitutions dealing in them and the attempts on the
part of the public to safeguard and regulate invest-
ments.

Accounting Problems and Auditing- The applica-
tion of accounting principles to specific problems.
Practical work in actual audits and devising systems
for actual installation form a large part of the year's
work.

Bank Management A technical course in the in-
ternal problems of bank organization and manage-
ment. The work is designed to train not so much
for clerical work as for position of official responsi-
bility. This course alternates with the Theory of
Banking.

Public Finance Public expenditure, budgetry-
methods, public revenues, and public debt. The pur-
pose is to give a working knowledge of government

to

financial institutions as distinguished from commer-
cial ones; bonds, taxes, borrowing and the manage-
ment of national, state, and municipal debts. (Omit-
ted in 1926-27.)

Business Correspondence Training in the writing
and dictating of business letters. Each student is as-
signed a subject for independent investigation.

Advertising Technique 1 Mail campaigns, with a
study of the technique of sales letters, letter series,
inserts, mailing cards and folders, booklets, cata-
logues, and other forms of direct advertising. Each
student is required to make a detailed survey of at
least one mail campaign and to work out completely
one original campaign.

Advertising Technique II Display advertising,
writing, and printing of same. The problems studied
include marketing of a new product, widening the de-
mand for an established product, keeping a well-
known product before the public, developing a year-
round demand for a seasonal product, fighting sub-
stitutions, removing prejudices, announcing an in-
crease in price, and mail-order selling; retailer's prob-
lems, including those in the department store and in
the chain-store; specialize^ advertising as that of
banks, railroad, cities, churches, universities, libra-
ries and charities. In addition to class discussions,
practice work of each student is adapted, as far as
possible, to his future needs.

Organization of Industrial Scientific Research

Study of the methods of organizing research work
in connection with large-scale industries ; the cost and
maintenance of a laboratory ; what should be expected
of it; how it should be directed and where competent
research may be procured for it.

Office Administration The principles and methods
underlying efficient and economical office manage-
ment; evolution of the modern office; the office man-
ager; electing and training office employees; office re-
sults; office manual; organization procedure; ob-
stacles and emergencies; standardizing; incentives;
relation between employer and employee; general of-
fice service; order and billing systems; filing systems.

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

Oglethorpe University 93

the greatest of all sports. American college football
is the most interesting, most exciting, most manly,
most instructive and most profitable game ever play-
ed by men. It, more than any other, furnishes to its
devotees something of the moral equivalent of war,
and such a hold has it taken on the public that they
pour out their tens of thousands of dollars to witness
inter-collegiate games in vast stadia and bowls erect-
ed largely for the purpose at a cost reaching into
the millions. It is a momentous thing for the aca-
demic world to have control of the American equiv-
alent of the Olympic games and the contests of the
Arena, and as we watch the never ceasing enlarge-
ment of interest, finance, equipment and importance
of this part of college work it must be perfectly ap-
parent that the very life of a college depends and will
more and more depend upon its method of handling
this fact which is at once a challenge and an oppor-
tunity.

And, hand in hand with football, go baseball, bas-
ket-ball, boating, track, and indeed the whole physical
well-being of the vast American student-body.

Passing by as somnolent those colleges that side-
step the fact by denying their students the privilege
of intercollegiate sports and those that permissively
decree a Students' Athletic Association which as-
sumes control of coach, games, and often of "Faculty
Directors of Athletics," we come to those institu-
tions that face the situation with wide open eyes.

The attitude of Oglethorpe University to all ath-
letics is based upon the recognition of the physical
training of the human body as a college study.

It is presumed that a matter of such overwhelm-
ing importance to college life as athletics and of such

94 Oglethorpe University

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.

1. Physiology A first-year course in the study
of the human body, one hour per week Fall, Winter
Spring and Summer Terms. Required of all Fresh-
men. Prerequisite for all courses enumerated below.
Includes studies in Sanitation, Hygiene and First Aid.

Professor Hunt

2. Mass Athletics A study of methods used in
the A. E. F., Play Athletics, study of muscles, their
development and health. Study of various develop-
ment systems. Three hours per week. Required of
all students who do not elect courses 3-10.

Mr. Robertson

Oglethorpe University 95

3. Track Study and practice of all track exercise,
running, jumping, vaulting and javelin throwing,
hurdling and relay race. Three hours per week. Elec-
tive.

Mr. Anderson

4. Football Science and practice of this geatest
of games, study of formations, plays, strategy, man-
agement.

Mr. Robertson

5. Baseball Science and practice of the most
widely popular of all American games. Spring term
only. Twelve hours per week.

Mr. Anderson

6. TennisStudy and practice. Fall, Winter,
Spring and Summer Terms. Three hours per week.

Mr. Anderson

7. Aquatic Sports Study and practice Swim-
ming, rowing, crew work. Fall, Winter, Spring and
Summer Terms.

Prof. Roney

9. History of Play and Games The genesis and
development of modern games, including Courses 3-
10; also of chess, draughts, ten pins, etc. Fall, Winter
and Spring Terms. One hour per week.

Dr. Libby

98 Oglethorpe University

10. Psychology of Play Mental preparation for
contests. Advertising and promotion of games.
Sport writers and writing. Athletic accounting, con-
tracts, methods of promotion and use of football con-
tests. One term only.

Profs. Routh, Gaertner and Cagle

11. 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, 3-10, 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.

And the building of the new athletic field given by
Mr. and Mrs. Hermance makes possible the inaugura-
tion at Oglethorpe of a complete system of physical
culture for all students. It will include not only the
great athletic features such as football, baseball, bas-
ket-ball, etc., but also many interesting track exer-
cises, discus and javelin throwing, jumping, vaulting
and, in fact, all of the various numbers to be found
at our intercollegiate track meets. It is the purpose
of Oglethorpe University as quickly as circumstances
may permit, to enter, and, in addition, to develop a
strong boating crew on Silver Lake.

The University has been especially fortunate in
enjoying the services of Mr. Frank B. Anderson, one
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 all-
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

98 Oglethorpe University

who is an expert in that department with hardly an
equal in this country, and those of us who have
charge of the moral and mental life of the University,
feel especially happy in having at the head of this
fascinating department of our work, a splendid out-
standing man whose personal influence with the stu-
dents will mean so much in the building of character
and the enforcing of every moral and religious pre-
cept. It is not going too far to say that the teams
at Oglethorpe will be as well coached next year and
thereafter as any teams on the American continent,
for there are no two finer men at the head of athletics
whether it be as coaches or as men, than the two who
head this department at Oglethorpe.

Other instructors will be added as this work may
require.

UNIVERSITY EXPENSES

Board and Room Rent

The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University
are the safest and most comfortable of cognate insti-
tutions in the South. All the permanent buildings of
the University will be like those now finished, which
are believed to be absolutely fireproof, being con-
structed of steel, concrete and granite with parti-
tions of brick and hollow tile.

The Boarding Department of the Institution is
conducted to please the student. Thoroughly first-
class service is given. The skimmed milk diet which
produces skimmed milk thinking is studiously avoided.
Price of board is included in the room rent.

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

Oglethorpe University 99

floor of the Administration building, which is fifty
(50) feet wide and one hundred and eighty (180) feet
long; like the third floor of Lupton Hall, 50x150, it is
divided into individual roms, with general toilet and
bath room on the same floor. Each contains a lava-
tory furnishing hot and cold water. The third grade
is on the second floor of the Administration build-
ing and is composed of suites of rooms, each suite
containing a bedroom, bath and study. The price
charged includes first-class board, steam heat, elec-
tric lights, water and janitor's service, and all rooms
are furnished adequately and substantially. Every
room in the dormitory contains ample closet space.
The rooms are large, airy, safe and comfortable.

The furniture is of oak and is the same for all
rooms, including chiffonier, study-table, single bed,
spring and mattress for each student.

Room linen and bed clothing will be furnished by
the student. Applications for rooms should be filed
at once. For reservation of room inclose $5.00 reser-
vation fee, to be credited on first payment.

The expenses at Oglethorpe University are made
as low as the quality of instruction, of rooming ac-
commodations and of table fare will permit. No fees
such as matriculation, library, hospital, contingent,
athletic, etc.,, are charged. To Day Students the
only charge made is that of tuition which is $75.00
per term, as covered by the college calendar.

For students boarding in the dormitories of the
University the following charges are made:

Government Building $165.00 per term.

Administration Building, second floor $197.50 per
term.

100 Oglethorpe University

Administration Building, third floor, $177.50 per
term.

All University charges are payable quarterly in ad-
vance except by special arrangement. For absences
no rebate is made on board for less than one week,
nor on room rent and tuition for less than one term. No
rebate is made on absences caused by temporary sus-
pension by action of the faculty. All Freshmen, other
than day students and young women, are required to
room on the campus except upon the written request
of their parents or guardians. It will be observed that
the total cost for the entire year, including tuition,
table board and room rent, heat, light and janitor
service ranges from $165.00 per term upward ac-
cording to the rooming accommodations. The student
should bring his own bedding and personal linen.
Books may be purchased from the Student Co-op or
in the city of Atlanta and will cost approximately
$10.00 per term,

Upon assuming possession of his room each student
is given a statement showing the general condition
of the room and of the articles of furniture contained
therein. He is required at the end of each term
or at the end of the college year upon request of the
Superintendent, to restore the property to the con-
dition in which he received it by paying the actual
cost of replacements and repairs as made or estimated
as necessary to be made by the college officials. When
the room is occupied by more than one student the
cost of repairs is divided in proportion to responsi-
bility.

SELF HELP

Approximately fifteen per cent of the Oglethorpe
student body are "working their way through col-

Oglethorpe University 101

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 munificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
P. Hermance in giving to Oglethorpe the sum of $50,-
000.00 for an Athletic Stadium, the finest in the
South, makes feasible the development of ail forms
of field sports, including not only the great games of
football and baseball, but also vaulting, jumping, dis-
cus and javelin throwing, track work, etc. Physical
culture for all students will be required.

A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Uni-

102 Oglethorpe University

versity toward intercollegiate athletics, and Ogle-
thorpe University is acquitting herself well in that
sphere of her educational life.

SILVER LAKE

In addition to those sports common to all well
equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University
is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering
eighty acres located conveniently to the University
campus, with a part of its shore set aside for a univer-
sity boat house. This will enable the institution to
add a crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake
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 the Hermance Stadium.

UNIVERSITY STORE

One of the interesting features of university life at
Oglethorpe is the University Store, managed for the
benefit of the students themselves, under the super-
intendence of the Faculty.

In the store are kept all the necessary college acces-
sories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made
most conveniently, as full lines of goods answering
the various college requirements are constantly kept
on hand.

Oglethorpe University 103

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 chapel exercises, which the students are re-
quired to attend, are conducted by each of the mem-
bers of the faculty in turn. The student life at Ogle-
thorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Y. M.
C. A., and frequent sermons and addresses by visit-
ing pastors and evangelists. A Sunday School Class
has been started by the students themselves, which
grew to a membership of over eighty.

LIBRARIES

By the generosity of many friends, so great as to
be almost unparalleled, the University received dur-

104 Oglethorpe University

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, and of Dr. Nicolassen in the Classics, are
both available for the use of the students in these
departments. The policy of the institution is to let
no year go without the enlargement of the library.
A competent librarian is in charge and the rooms
will be open during the year of 1926-27 approximately
ten hours per day. The Public Library is also avail-
able 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:

THE OGLETHORPE IDEA

Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe
idea quality in location, in climate, in campus, in
architecture, in student character, in college life, in
athletics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum and in
religion and morals. Every one of these we offer at
Oglethorpe.

Located in the commercial and educational capital
of the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most
elegant street of that city, on a most beautiful cam-
pus of over one hundred and eighty acres of woodland
and meadow, including an eighty-two acre lake which
belongs to our students for swimming, boating and
fishing, the physical advantages offered by Ogle-
thorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the
section.

One by one a splendid body of buildings is being
erected on its campus. Every one of them will be
of granite trimmed with limestone and covered with
variegated slates. All of them will be as fire-proof
as human skill can make them and as commodious
and comfortable as our architects can plan them. They
will be like the first buildings already erected, which
are believed to be the safest, most beautiful and
most efficient college or university buildings in the
Southeast.

THE OGLETHORPE SITE ATLANTA

The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educa-
tional center are fast making it one of the great in-
tellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft,
Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to
the entire nation over its many lines of railway,
known everywhere as the center of Southern activ-

Oglethorpe University 107

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 committed to us will be felt in increased ambi-
tion and redoubled determination to perform, them-
selves, their duty to their race and their God.

THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE

It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic
tastes and home habits of many young men are ruined
at college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings
of their rooms and the ugly forbidding architecture
of the buildings, whose walls often deface their cam-
pus. The architecture of an institution of learning
should be a constant source of delight and inspira-
tion to its students, teaching quietly but surely the
highest ideals of life. Indeed all those qualities of
soul we know as honesty, solidity, dignity, durability,
reverence and beauty may be expressed in the face
of a building as surely as in that of a man, and are
so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus.

Not less important are the personal surroundings of
the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped
apartments have exactly the same influence on the

108 Oglethorpe University

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
FIRST YEARS

Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal
contact and instruction of the heads of departments
will note with interest that our first few years will
offer exceptional opportunities of that nature. It is
well known that in all our large institutions only the
upper classmen come in any close contact with the
full Professors, 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.

112 Oglethorpe University

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 physician in the infirmary. In
case of special illness requiring operations or the ser-
vices of specialists, while the University frequently
is able to secure reduced charges for our students, yet
we assume no responsibility beyond such services as
our college physician and college infirmary are able
to render.

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS

Examinations will be held once each term, and re-
ports of the students' standing will be issued four
times per year.

PUBLIC UTILITIES

Oglethorpe University has the double advantage of
being located in the suburbs of Atlanta, so far out
as not to be subject to the distractions of city life, yet
so near in as to enjoy all the public utilities of a great
city. Among these are city water, electric lights,
city trolley line, telephone and telegraph service, and
in addition thereto the University has its own post-
office, express office and railway station, all known 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-

Entrance to Administration Building.
Over this beautiful doorway is engraved the motto of the University:

"A Search is the Thing He Hath Taught You,
For Height and for Depth and for Viideness."

Oglethorpe University 113

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.

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 work-
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 with the greatest jo3'\
The mere fact that they have promised a devoted

114 Oglethorpe University

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
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. Katherine H. Connerat, President; Mrs. Al-
bert Thornton, First Vice-President; Mrs. Charles
Conklin, Second Vice-Fresident ; Mrs. J. M. High,
Third Vice-President; Mrs. J. Cheston King, Fourth
Vice-President; Mrs. William Spear, Fifth Vice-Presi-
dent; Mrs. I. R. Carlisle, Recording Secretary; Mrs.
Earl D'Arcy Pearce, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs.

man; Mrs. Haynes McFadden, First Vice-Chairman ;
Mrs. B. K. Boyd, Second Vice-Chairman ; Mrs. H. G.

Mrs. E. H. Phillips.

Honorary Presidents: Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs,
Mrs. J. T. Lupton, Mrs. Harry P. Hermance, Mrs.
James R. Gray, Mrs. Sam Inman.

Through the liberality of a friend, whose name is
withheld by request, a fine driveway has been con-
structed from the University to Peachtree Road; it
is called "The Maud Jacobs Driveway," in honor of
the first President of the Woman's Board.
