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
DEEP INTO THY BOSOM UNTIL THEY REST UPON THE VAST
ROCK OF THY COUNCIL. LIFT THOU MY WALLS INTO THE
CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. COVER ME WITH THE
WINGS THAT SHADOW FROM ALL HARM. LAY MY THRESH-
OLDS IN HONOR AND MY LINTELS IN LOVE. SET THOU MY
FLOORS IN THE CEMENT OF UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP AND
MAY MY WINDOWS BE TRANSPARENT WITH HONESTY. LEAD
THOU UNTO ME, LORD GOD, THOSE WHOM THOU HAST AP-
POINTED TO BE MY CHILDREN, AND WHEN THEY SHALL
COME WHO WOULD LEARN OF ME THE WISDOM OF THE
YEARS, LET THE CRIMSON OF MY WINDOWS GLOW WITH
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. LET THEM SEE, MY LORD,
HIM WHOM THOU HAST SHOWN ME; LET THEM HEAR HIM
WHOSE VOICE HAS WHISPERED TO ME AND LET THEM REACH
OUT THEIR HAN'DS AND TOUCH HIM 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 WINDS OF ERROR. LET THE LIGHTNING THAT
LIES IN THE CLOUD OF IGNORANCE BREAK UPON MY HEAD
IN DESPAIR, MAY THE YOUNG AND THE PURE AND THE
CLEAN-HEARTED PUT THEIR TRUST SECURELY IN ME NOR
MAY ANY WHO COMB 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 Cmmittee of
the Board of Directors. The property is legally held
in trust by a Board of Trustees of seven men. The
General Board of Directors meets at least once each
year, at commencement time, on the university campus
near Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all
matters of large importance to the University, and to
give directions to the Executive Committee which is
elected by them and from their number, and which at-
tends to the details of management of the institution
between the meetings of the Board of Directors. Each
member of the Board represents a gift of two 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.
In many cases they represent groups, societies,
churches or families who combine their gifts in the
founding of the University.
Prospective students will not fail to note the quality
of these men, representing the thousands of men and
women whose sacrifices and prayers have consum-
mated this fine purpose. As representatives and gov-
ernors of the institution they will take pleasure in
giving any inquirers information as to the aims and
progress of the University.

The 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-
mands of a really great institution of learning, has
spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men
who would not only possess that first requisite of a
teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two
other requisites of almost equal importance: power of
imparting their ideals and knowledge, and intellec-
tual acquirements adequate for their department. The
most important element in education is the creat-
ing in the student of an intense yearning for and de-
light in the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, and
the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is
the example set before him by the faculty. The ob-
ject of an Oglethorpe education is to furnish the stu-
dent with deeper thoughts, finer emotions and nobler
purposes to the end that he may more clearly under-
stand, more fully enjoy and more excellently behave
in the world. It has been the purpose of the Board
of Directors in making their selection of members of
the faculty to choose them from as many different
sections of America as possible, thus providing a rep-
resentative and cosmopolitan American corps of
teachers.

Oglethorpe University 25
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 Coll'ege was founded in New Jersey and
rapidly became the institution largely patronized by
the young men from Presbyterian families all over
the world. After a while the long distance which
must be traveled by stage or 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
th"e year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a
manual training school, and this in turn, became
Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the
suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the state
of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the insti-
tution. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de-
nominational college or university betw^een 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 buiding 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 Were world famous. Among these
were Joseph LeConte, the great geologist, James
Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and sci-
entist, Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administra-
26 Oglethorpe University
tor and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory
of old Oglethorpe that after three years of instruction
she graduated Sidney Lanier of the famous class of
1860 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the
spring of '61 wh^en with the Oglethorpe cadets he
marched away to the wars. Shortly before his death,
Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked to a
friend that the greatest intellectual impulse of his life
had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe
through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other
eminent alumni include governors, justices, modera-
tors of the General Assembly, discoverers, inventors
and a host of honest, industrious and superb laborers
for the highest ideals of humanity.
Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg," for during the
war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in-
vested in Confederate bonds, and her buildings which
were used for barracks and hospital, were later des-
troyed. An effort was made to revive the institution
in the '70's and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils
of reconstruction days and financial disaster made
the adventure impossible, and after a year and a half
of struggle the doors w'ere closed for the second time.
Only twenty-six years have passed since the pres-
ent movement to re-found the university began and
they have been years of financial disaster and utter
turmoil, yet the assets and subscription pledgees of
the institution have passed the sum of one and a half
million dollars as the result of unusual and self-sac-
rificing liberality on the part of over five thousand
people.
The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was
laid on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto en-
graved upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the
Hand of God She Has Risen From th'e Dead).
Oglethorpe University 27
The Opening, September 20, 1916
Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the au-
tumn of 1916. After 50 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 limiestone, covered with variegated
slates and as near fire proof as human skill can make
it, was ready for occupancy in th^e fall of 1916, when
the first class gathered on her beautiful campus on
Peachtree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cog-
nate institution in the country was formed. The work
of raising funds and new construction goes steadily
on. All of this has been done in the midst of finan-
cial disaster that has darkened the spirit of the whole
nation.
The Romance of Her Resurrection
The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads
like a romance. Beginning only twenty-six years ago
with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years
from her present president, it soon gathered with it
a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined
to see that their city had a university, as well as a
band of far-seeing educational leaders, who wished
to erect a certain type of institution in this splendid
metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to
dollar during the campaign of four years; of how no
less than seventy Atlanta mten gave each $1,000.00 or
more to the enterprise ; of how the story was told in
101 cities and towns all over the South from Galves-
ton, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from
Marshall, Missouri, to Bradenton, Florida, each one
of them giving $1,000 or more to the enterprise; the
splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaigns; all this
28 Oglethorpe University
is well known. Since that time the same wonderful
record has be'en maintained. There are now something
like five thousand men, women and children, all of
whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents
to $1,000. They are the Founders' Club which is
carrying the movement forward so splendidly.
Her Architectural Beauty
An idea of the quality of construction and design of
the institution may be gained from the accompanying
illustration.
It will he seen that the architects and landscape
artists have spared no pains to make Oglethorpe one
of the really beautiful universities of America. The
architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building ma-
terial is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with lime-
stone. All the buildings are covered with heav>'
variegat'ed slates. The interior construction is of
steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The build-
ing given by Dr. and Mrs. Lupton and their son, our
beloved benefactors, is the one with the tower just
opposite on the left of the entrance. Lowry Hall,
the gift of Col. and Mrs. R. J. Lowry, stands com-
pleted at the end of the main axis directly in front
of the entrance. The total cost of construction of the
buildings mentioned above with the land and the land-
scape work required, will be approximately $4,000,000.
The building plan will be followed out in its entirety.
The Oglethorpe Campus
By the generosity of Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
Oglethorpe is the possessor of one of the finest college
campuses in the entire world. In the summer of 1929
Mr. Hearst gave to the University the entire Silver
Oglethorpe University 29
Lake Estates, four hundred acres of primeval forest
surrounding an eighty acre lake with something like
five miles of graded roads winding through it. Aa
this property immediately adjoins the two hundred
acres already possessed by the University, the com-
pleted campus consists of a body of six hundred acres
of land in one tract in the immediate vicinity of At-
lanta, on Peachtree Road and on the main line of the
Southern Railroad. This gift of Mr. Hearst provides
for the University ample space for future develop-
ment and protects its growth from encroachment by
urban Atlanta whose suburbs are rapidly surrounding
the campus.
Hermance Stadium
During the summer of 1929 the first section of
Hermande Stadium was erected at a cost of something
over $100,000. Like all the other Oglethorpe build-
ings it is constructed of granite, trimmed with carved
limestone. The seats are of reinforced concrete. This
first section which seats about five thousand, com-
prises approximately one-ninth of the total seating
capacity. When completed it will have cost something
like $750,000 and will have a seating capacity of ap-
proximately that of thie Roman Colosseum, 45,000. It
is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance,
Hal Hermance and Miss Helena Hermance, the don-
ors.
Her Spiritual and Intellectual Ideals
But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of
the institution about which the men who are founding
Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and
intellectual life of their university. To that end they
30 Oglethorpe University
have resolved to maintain a faculty and a curriculum
that will be of the highest possible quality, their
thought being excellence in every department. They
are taking the superb traditions of the Old Ogle-
thorpe and adding the best of the present age to them.
Founders' Book
In the Founders' Room at Oglethorp*e 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 dded that
has been attempted for our sons and daughters in
this generation. The Book is not yet complete, be-
cause the work is not yet finished, and each month is
adding many to this roll of honor, whose names will
thus be preserved in the life and archives of Ogle-
thorpe University forever.
Clock and Chimes
In the tower of the building given by Dr. and Mrs.
J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes, with
three dials, ten bells and night illumination, the gift
of friends of the University. It is interesting to note
that this is the only set of chimes on any college cam-
pus in Georgia. Concerts on the chimes are given
daily.
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,
Oglethorpe University 31
and thus to train young men who wish to become spe-
cialists in professional and business life and teachers
in our high schools and colleges, and to supply the
growing demand for specially lequipped men in every
department of human activity.
Students who are looking forward to university
work are invited to correspond with the President in
order that they may prepare themselves for the ad-
vanced courses which are to be offered.
Adequate library and laboratory facilities are pro-
vided. Free use is made of the city of Atlanta, in
itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scien-
tific life, whose museums, libraries, and municipal
plants are at the disposal of our students for observa-
tion, inspection and investigation.
Grounds and Buildings
The campus consists of approximately six hundred
acres of land including an eighty acre lake which
is situated in the northwestern section of the campus.
In front of the entrance to the campus is the term-
inus of the Oglethorpe University street car line, and
an attractive little stone station of the Southern Rail-
way main line between Atlanta and Washington. The
first building to be located on the campus, the Ad-
ministration Building, contains in the basement a din-
ing room; on the ground floor, chemistry and physics
lecture rooms, and laboratories, the administrative
offices and lounging room for young ladies attending
the college ; on the second and third floors, the hospi-
tal and dormitories. Lupton Hall contains the libra-
ry, the President's office, class rooms, dormitories, an
Assembly Hall seating approximately six hundred,
equipped also as a theatre for the presentation of stu-
32 Oglethorpe University
dent dramas, and in the basement, basketball court,
swimming- pool, lockers and showers, and quarters
or the University Press. The University Press is
equipped with a Babcock optimus press, linotype ma-
chine and two job presses, with a number of type
stands and other printing equipment given by a friend
of the University.
Lowry Hall houses the Lowry School of Banking
and Commerce, and the Art Studios. It is largely a
replica of old Corpus Christi College, Oxford, the
alma mater of James Edward Oglethorpe, It contains
class rooms and dormitories, and will stand as a per-
petual memorial to the generosity of Colonel R. J.
LovvTy and Emma Markham Lowry.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Literature and
Journalism, Science, Business Administration,
Education, Secretarial Preparation, Fine
Arts, and Physical Education
The requirement for entrance to the Academic
Schools of Oglethorpe University is a certificate of
graduation from an accredited high school.* Or in
case of non-graduation, if the candidate has fifteen
units from an accredited high school he may absolve
his deficiencies by standing entrance examinations on
four subjects, two of which shall be English and
Mathematics. A student who has completed in a sec-
ondary school two years of a foreign language will
not receive credit for a beginner's course in the same
language. The candidate must present at least three
units in English and two units in Mathematics. A
unit represents a year's study in any subject in an ac-
credited high school.

Standards for Georgia Colleges*
The following standards have been adopted by the
State Board of Education of Georgia. They are de-
signed to serve two purposes:
* These standards have been adopted by Oglethorpe Univer-
sity and are effective as of September 23, 1931.
Oglethorpe Uistivebsity 35
(a) A basis of granting charters to n'ew or pro-
posed higher educational institutions under the pro-
visions of Section 14 of the Georgia Code.**
(b) A basis for preparing an aproved list of teach-
er training institutions for the State of Georgia.
It is not proposed that these standards should op-
erate to make it impossible for a worthy new tenter-
prise to be begun, nor for a worthy institution now
in operation to be denied a fair opportunity for de-
velopment.
It is, therefore, agreted that:
(a) In the case of proposed new institutions of
higher learning, if the Board of Education is satisfied
that such institution has a reasonable possibility of
meeting these stndards within three ytears a provis-
ional charter for three years may be granted, such
charter to be made permanent if and when such in-
stitution shall have met the conditions of these
standards.
(b) In the case of institutions now in operation,
the application of theste standards shall not go into
effect until after the expiration of three years from
the date of the adoption of these standards.
Standards for Colleges
1. Definition:
A standard college, university, or technological in-
stitution designated as "college" in this statement
of standards is an institution:
** Section 14. No charter giving the right to confer degrees
or issue diplomas shall be granted to any proposed institution
of learning within the state of Georgia until the proper show-
ing has been made to the State Board of Education that the
proposed University, College, Normal, or Professional school
shall give evidence of its ability to meet the standard require-
ments set up by the State Board of Education.
36 Oglethorpe University
(a) Which is legally authorized to give non-profes-
sional Bachelor's degrees;
(b) Which is organized definitely on the basis of
the completion of a standard secondary school
curriculum ;
(c) Which organizes its curricula in such a way
that the early years are a continuation of, and
supplement the work of the secondary school
and at least the last two years are shaped mor<e
or less distinctly in the direction of special,
professional, or graduate instruction;
(d) Which is separate and distinct, both in faculty
and operation, from any high school.
2. Entrance or Admission:
A college shall demand for admission of candidates
for degrees the satisfactory completion of a four year
course (15 units from a four year high school or
twelve units from a three year senior high school) in
a secondary school approved by a recognized accred-
iting agency or the equivalent of such a course, as
shown by examination. The major portion of the sec-
ondary school course accepted for admission should
be definitely correlated with the curriculum to which
the student is admitted.
Persons over 21 years of age, who do not meet re-
quirements for admission, may be admitted to reg-
ular college courses if the authorities of the college
are satisfied that such persons can carry the courses
satisfactorily. These shall be classified as special
students and shall not be admitted to candidacy for
bachelor's degrees until all entrance requirements
have been satisfi'ed.
3. Graduation:
A college shall require for graduation the comple-
Oglethorpe University 37
tion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120
semester hours of credit (or the equivalent in term
hours, quarter hours, points, majors, or courses) with
further quahtative requirements adapted by each in-
stitution to its conditions.
A semester hour is defined as a credit for work in
a class which meets for at least one sixty-minute p^er-
iod (including ten minutes for change of classes)
weekly for lecture, recitation, or test for a semester
of 'eighteen weeks (including not over two weeks for
all holidays and vacations) . Two hours of laboratory
work shall count as the equivalent of one hour of
lecture, recitation, or test.
4. Degrees:
Small institutions should confine themselves to one
or two baccalaureate degrees. When more than one
baccalaureate degree is offered, all shall be equal in
requirements for admission and graduation. Insti-
tutions of limited resources and inadequate facilities
for graduate work should confine themselves to strict-
ly undergraduate courses.
5. Permanent Records:
A system of permanent records showing clearly all
cr^edits (including entrance records) of each student
shall be carefully kept. The original credentials filed
from other institutions shall be retained. As far
as possible, records of graduates should be kept.
6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments:
A college of arts and sciences of approximately 100
students should maintain at least eight separate de-
partments with at least one professor in each devot-
ing his whole time to that department. The size of
the faculty should bear a definite relation to the type
38 Oglethorpe University
of the institution, the number of students, and the
number of courses offered. With the growth of the
student body, the number of full-time teachers should
be correspondingly increased. The development of
varied curricula should involve the addition of other
heads of departments.
7. Training of Faculty:
Faculty members of professional rank should have
not less than onte full year of graduate work, major-
ing in the subject taught, in addition to a bachelor's
degree from a fully accredited college, and should
have two years of training in an approved graduate
school.
The training of the head of each department shall
be that represented by two full years of graduafe
work or its equivalent.
8. Faculty Load:
The number of hours of class room work given by
each teacher will vary in different departments. To
determine this, the amount of preparation required
for the class and the amount of time needed for study
to keep abreast of the subject, together with the
number of students, must be taken into account.
Teaching schedules, including classes for part-time
students, exceeding 18 recitation hours or their equiv-
alent per week per instructor, will be interpreted as
endangering educational efficiency. Sixteen hours is
the recommended maximum load.
9. Size of Classes:
Classes (exclusive of lectures) of more than thirty
students should be interpreted as endangering educa-
tional efficiency.
Oglethorpe University 39
10. Financial Support:
The minimum annual operating income for an ac-
credited college, exclusive of payment of interest, an-
nuities, etc., should be $30,000, of which not less than
$15,000 should be derived from stable sources, other
than students, such as permanent endowment, public
funds or church support. Increase in faculty, stu-
dent body and scope of instruction should be accom-
panied by a corresponding increase of income from
such stable sources. The financial status of each col-
lege should be judged in relation to its educational
program.
A college that does not have such support from en-
dowment, church, state or public sources must show,
for a period of three consecutive years immediately
preceding its application for accrediting, that its
charges and expenditures are such as to show a min-
imum average annual n'et surplus of not less than
$15,000 from non-educational services, such as board,
room rents, etc., which may be used to supplement
tuition fees.
11. Library:
A college should have a live, well-distributed, ade-
quately housed library of at least 8,000 volumes, ex-
clusive of public documents, bearing si>ecifically upon
the subjects taught, administered by a full-time pro-
fessionally trained librarian, and with a definite an-
nual appropriation for the purchase of new books.
12. Laboratories:
The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all
the experiments called for by the courses offered in
the sciences, and these facilities shall be kept up by
means of an annual appropriation in keeping with the
curriculum.
40 Oglethorpe University
13. General Equipment and Buildings:
The location and construction of the buildings, the
lighting, heating and ventilation of the rooms, the
nature of the laboratories, corridors, closets, water
supply, school furniture, apparatus, and methods of
cleaning shall be such as to insure hygienic conditions
for both stud^ents and teachers.
14. Proportion of Students Candidates for Degrees:
No institution shall be admitted to the accredited
list, or continued more than one year on such list, un-
less it has a college registration of at least 100 reg-
ular students. A notably small proportion of college
students registered in the third and fourth years will
constitute ground for dropping an institution from
the accredited list.
At least 75 per cent of the students in a college
should be pursuing courses leading to baccalaureate
degrees; provided, however, that this shall not apply
to students enrolled in (extension, correspondence or
other similar departments, not in regular course for
a degree, in an institution which otherwise meets
these standards.
15. Character of the Curriculum:
The character of the curriculum, the standards for
regular degrees, the conservatism in granting honor-
ary d'egrees, provision in the curriculum for breadth
of study and for concentration, soundness of scholar-
ship, the practice of scientific spirit including freedom
of investigation and teaching, loyalty to facts, and
encouragement of efficiency, initiative and originality
in investigation and teaching, the tone of the institu-
tion, including the existence and cultur^e of good mor-
als and ideals, and satisfaction and enthusiasm among
Oglethorpe University 41
students and staff shall be factors in determining its
standing.
16. Extra-Ciirricular Activities:
The proper administration of athletics, student
publications, student organizations, and all extra-cur-
ricular activities, is one of the fundamental tests of a
standard college and, therefore, should be considered
in classification.
17. Professional and Technical Departments:
When the instiution has, in addition to the college
of arts and sciences, professional or technical depart-
ments, the colleges of arts and sciences shall not be
accepted for the approved list of the State Department
of Education untess the professional or technical de-
partments are of approved grade, national standards
being used when available.
18. Inspection and Reports:
Filing of Blank No institution shall be placed on
the approved list unless a regular information blank
has been filed with the State Department of Educa-
tion. The blank shall be filed again for each of the
three years after the college has been approved, and
triennially thtereafter, but the Department may for
due cause call upon any member to file a new report
at any time. Failure to file the blank as required
shall be cause for dropping an institution.
Inspection No college will be placed on the ap-
proved list until it has been inspected and reported
upon by the agent or agents regularly appointed by
the State Department of Education. All colleges ac-
credited by the Department shall be open to inspec-
tion at any time.
Oglethorpe University was the first educational in-
42 Oglethorpe University
stitution in Georgia to be inspected and fully accred-
ited by the State Board of Education after the adop-
tion of the above Standards, following the approval
of them by all the educational institutions in the com-
monwealth.
General Information
REGISTRATION
1. Each student will first report to the Dean of the
school in which he wishes to register. With his
course and schedule approved by his Dean, the stu-
dent will present his schedule card to the Registrar.
He will then record his courses on triplicate cards.
2. A student is not considered registered until he
registers his subjects in the R'egistrar's office, has
these courses approved by the Registrar, secures a
bill from the Bursar, and pays the Cashier.
3. No student is to be admitted to class without
a student card issued by the Cashier when he has set-
tled his financial arrangements with the University.
4. At thfe beginning of each term, a few days after
registration, the Registrar sends to each professor
course cards for each student who has registered.
Should a student fail to appear in class before the
ten days allowed for changing, dropping, or adding
subjects, the professor is to notify the Registrar im-
mediately. Failure of the professor to do so does
not excuse the student from the financial obligation
involv'ed.
5. As soon as course cards are received from the
Registrar's office, each professor must check his
roll and report to the Registrar immediately the
names of any students in his classes for whom he
does not have a card.
6. Subjects may be changed, dropped, or added
Oglethorpe University 43
only during the first ten days of each term and only
upon written permission from the Dean of the school
in which the student is enrolled.
7. Students are allowed to register up to one-third
of the term. It is necessary that a student attend at
least two-thirds of the term's classes if credit is de-
sired.
8. Each student is required to register in person.
9. A fine of $1.00 per day (maximum limit one-
third of the duration of the term concerned) is charg-
ed for any student who registers after the dates set
aside for registration as per college calendar.
10. As it is impossible to know how many hours of
work each stud<ent will register for at the beginning
of each term, no bills are sent out in advance. The
student is advised to get an estimate of his expense
before the term begins.
11. Deans of departments can require delinquent
students to drop specific courses only at the begin-
ning of each term.
12. In the Summer School students must register
within six days of the beginning of each term.
LATE REGISTRATION
A charge of $1 a day will be made for students
who register after the time set for registration at
the beginning of the winter and spring terms.
CLASSIFICATION
As a basis for determining the classes to which a
student shall belong, the following r*egulation is to
apply: a first year student must have fulfilled the
requirements for entrance to his class by one of the
methods specified. In addition to his entrance units,
44 Oglethorpe University
a second year student must have completed fifteen
year hours; a junior thirty year hours; and a senior
forty-five year hours. Special students will not be
eligible for admission to either of the four college
classes, or membership in any of the social fraterni-
ties or the athletic or forensic teams representing the
University. A student failing to receive sufficient
credits during any year to entitle him to enter the
next higher class must remain in the low^r class un-
til the deficiencies are absolved. Back work in a re-
quired subject must be made up within the next term;
otherwise the student will be excluded from the class
to which he would naturally belong.
ACADEMIC HOURS
The average number of hours a week for first year
students is sixteen to seventeen, and is uniform for
all schools of the University. The number of hours
a week for the upperclassmen differs. In order to
avoid errors in registration all students are required
to arrange their courses and hours with the Deans of
the schools which they wish to enter. This also ap-
plies to sp'ecial students.
Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors may not take
more than 18 hours a week unless they have made
an average of B with no grade below C in the previous
term. If a student wishes to take more than 20 hours,
the written consent of the Dean must be secured, re-
gardtess of the average made. Seniors are not limi-
ted, but the written consent of the Dean must be se-
cured.
There must be 66 minimum year hours (198 term
hours) of regular standard work for every degree.
One hour per year may be selected by the student from
Music, Intramural Sports, Football, Debaters' Club,
Oglethorpe University 45
Players' Club and work on the Pfetrel, not on the
Yamacraw. The student must register in advance and
pay for these, and they must be certified to by the
professor in charge.
EXAMINATIONS
For a supplemental examination, whether on ac-
count of failure to pass or absence from the Univer-
sity, the student is to pay a fee of $2.00, receipt for
which must be secured from the Cashier and pre-
sented to the professor before the examination is
given. The examination must be taken in the term
following the regular term. In case the student is
out of school one or more terms, he may take it in the
term in which he returns. If the grade is F, or below,
the student is not entitled to a re-examination. A fine
of $5 is imposed upon any student taking a re-exami-
nation without having paid this $2 fee in advance.
ABSENCES
A student accumulating a total of ten unexcu^d
absences from all classes in one term will forfeit one
hour of credit and two quality points. A total of four
absences in one term from the Tuesday morning As-
sembly carries the same penalty.
All absences concerning illness are to be referred to
and approved by Miss Feebeck, head of the infirmary.
Absences concerning college affairs are to be referred
to and approved by Dean Patrick. Reports on absen-
ces are to be filed in the Registrar's office, and stu-
dents are not to be excused by any other faculty mem-
ber.
Excused absences are those caused by illness, ab-
sence from classes on account of college duties, or for
other reasons approved by the Dean.
46 Oglethorpe University
Excuses for absences must be filed in the Regis-
trar's office by the Monday afternoon following the
week in which the absences occurred.
Continued and deliberate cutting of classes may in-
volve dismissal from the University,
Absences will be counted from the first regular class
session, whether the student is enrolled at the time or
not, unless excused by the Dean.
FAILURE IN STUDIES
A student who is failing in any of his courses dur-
ing a term will be given personal warning, and a let-
ter will be written to his parent or guardian by the
Dean of his school or th'e Registrar. If a student be
seriously behind he may be required to withdraw from
the University.
A student must pass at least 50 per cent of his work
each term ; failure for two successive terms shall auto-
matically cause the student to be dropped, provided
however that if such student has registered for the en-
suing term he may continue until the completion
thereof, and if he shall have exhibited a marked im-
provement in his studies, the Dean of his department
may recommend to th'e faculty the continuance of such
student.
WITHDRAWALS
No withdrawals from the University can be consid-
ered as duly authorized unless a student officially not-
ifies the Dean of the University at the time of with-
drawal. Mere absence from school or nonattendance
upon any classes cannot be construed as definite with-
drawal. If the reasons for withdrawal are acceptable
to the Dean, the student's withdrawal is approved, re-
Oglethorpe University 47
corded, and dated ; and the student is entitled to "hon-
orable dismissal."
Courses of Instruction and
Requirements for Degrees
In the session of 1939-40 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the undergraduate classes of eight
schools leading to the customary academic degrees.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in Liberal Arts
will be conferred upon those students satisfactorily
completing a four years' course as outlined below,
based largely on the study of the languages. The de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts in Science will be conferred
upon those students who satisfactorily complete a four
years' course largely in scientific studies. The degree
of Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Journalism will
be given to those students who complete a course in-
cluding work in languages, literature and journalism.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Commerce will be
conferred upon those stulents who satisfactorily com-
plete a full four years' course in studies r*elating par-
ticularly to business administration. The degree of
Bachelor of Arts in Education will be conferred upon
those students who complete the studies in the School
of Education. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in S^ec-
retarial Preparation will be conferred upon those stu-
dents who complete the studies in that School.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Fine Arts
will be given to those students who compMe the re-
quirements in the School of Fine Arts. A diploma,
but not a degree, is given to students completing a
two-year course in Art.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physical Educa-
tion will be given to those students specializing in that
department.
48 Oglethorpe University
By a careful study of the courses outlined below,
the student will be easily able to make the choice most
suitable to his tastes and probable future life.
In g'eneral, it may be suggested that students pre-
paring to enter such professions as the ministry or
law, will choose the A.B. course in Liberal Arts ; those
looking forward to medicine, dentistry, engineering
and other scientific work, the A.B. course in Science;
those expecting to enter the literary and journalistic
field, the A.B. course in Literature, and those who in-
tend to spend their li\*es in the business world, the
A.B. course in Commerce, or the A.B. course in Secre-
tarial Preparation; those who expect to teach, the
A.B. course in Education,
While each of these courses is so shapted 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 necfessary to the making of a life as distin-
guished from a living.
Graduates of standard normal schools or junior col-
leges are admitted to the junior class.
Quality Points, Credits, Graduation
The following system of Quality Points has been
adopted :
Superior A (90-99) 3 quality points for each year
hour.
Good B (80-89) 2 quality points for each year
hour.
Fair C (70-79) 1 quality point for each year hour.
Passing D (60-69) no quality points.
Condition E (50-59) re-examination allowed.
Failure F (below 50) no re-examination.
Inc. Incomplete.
Oglethorpe University 49
In the junior division of the college 30 quality points
must have been achieved befor'e the student is recog-
nized as being in the senior division. The student
lacking the required 30 points will be required to re-
main in the junior college until the needed quality
points have been achieved through further studies.
For graduation in the senior college the student must
have achieved 30 additional quality points in senior
college studies, or a total of 60 quality points for
graduation and the degree. Transfer students must
achieve 15 quality points for each year spent in study
in Oglethorpe University.
On and after September 1, 1938 no fractional cred-
its mad-e either in Oglethorpe University or by tran-
script from another institution will be recognized for
graduation in any freshman or sophomore subject.
All transfer credits in order to be acceptable to
Oglethorpe University must come from standard in-
stitutions of at least junior college or normal grade.
Correspondence and extension credits combined will
be accepted to 25 per cent of the total requirements
for the degree.
In determining the rating of both high schools and
colleges for any year the university is governed by
the rulings of the Department of Education of thfe
State of Georgia.
Definite transcripts are required for admission both
to the graduate and under-graduate divisions.
CREDIT
No credit is granted a student for any course in
which he was not formally registered, nor for any
course that was not either published in the University
Catalogue or at least officially reported and approved
50 Oglethorpe University
by the Dean of the School and recorded in the Regis-
trar's office.
Candidates for graduation must file with the Regis-
trar, at Jeast a month before the time of graduation,
a written application, by filling out a blank form pre-
pared for the purpose.
University Expenses
Tuition
No charges are made for the usual College fees
such as matriculation, laboratories, infirmary, library,
contingent, and student activities.
The charge for tuition is $80.00 per term, $240.00
per academic year of approximately^ nine months. For
this sum a student is entitled to take from 12 to 17
credit hours of work per week. No student is per-
mitted to take less than 12 hours per week and those
students who take more than 17 credit hours per we'ek
are required to pay for the extra hours at the rate of
$15.00 per hour. These sums are payable in cash in
advance, at the beginning of each term, but the Cash-
ier is given the authority, whten a student has proven
that his credit is good, to allow that student to pay
one half of the charges at the beginning of the term
and the other half on or before a date which the
Cashier will set and which will not be later than th
middle of the term. This means of paying tuition
fees is applicable also to charges for board and room
rent.
In the Extension Department, charges are $15.00
per credit-hour, subject to one-third discount to teach-
>ers. The summer school charges for 1939 are the same
as Extension charges. No charge will be made for room
rent during the summer term to any student taking
Oglethorpe University 51
six credit hours for the entire summer term or three
credit hours for a half-summer term, and who
boards at the college cafeteria, ($72.00 for the entire
summer term or $36.00 for the first half.) This free
room rent applies only to teachers in active service.
Relatives and friends who do not attend college class-
es may board in the dormitories by paying the regu-
lar room rent and board charges.
Students holding self help positions are not aliowted
any additional discount on bills or permitted to hold
any other self help job or scholarships. This does not
include N.Y.A. Scholarships.
Board and Room Rent
The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University
are among the safest and most comfortable of those
of cognate institutions in Am'erica. All permanent
buildings of the University Mdll be like those now
finished, which are believed to be entirely fireproof,
being constructed of steel, concrete, and granite with
partitions of brick and hollow tile.
The rates named are based upon two grades of
rooms. The first of these compris'es the entire third
floor of the Administration Building, the third floor
of Lupton Hall, and the second and third floors of
Lowry Hall, divided into individual rooms, with gen-
eral toilet and bath on the same floor. Each room
contains a lavatory furnishing hot and cold water.
The second grade is that of the second floor of the
Administration building, and is composed of bed-
rooms with connecting baths. The price charged in-
cludes first class board, steam heat and electric
lights, water and janitor's service; all rooms are fur-
nished adequately and substantially. Every room in
52 Oglethorpe University
the dormitory contains ample closet space. The
rooms are large, airy, safe and comfortable.
The furniture is of substantial quality and is ap-
proximately the same for all rooms, including chiffon-
ier, study-table, chairs, single beds, springs and mat-
tresses. Room linen, pillows and bed clothing are
furnished by the student. Application for rooms
should be made as early as possible. For r'eservation
of room inclose $5.00 reservation fee (non-returnable)
to be credited on first payment for room rent.
All students rooming in the dormitories are required
also to board at the college cafeteria and any student
not rooming on the college campus may take his or her
meals at the cafeteria. Students employed by the
University must board and room on the campus.
The charge for board and room rent per term is as
follows :
Room rent: Administration Building, third floor,
Lupton Hall, third floor, and Lowry Hall, second and
third floors (two or more to the room) $26.00 per
term. Administration Building, second floor $46.00
per term (two or more to the room). The charge for
board is $72 to $80 for the Autumn term, and $60 to
$70 for the Spring and Winter terms, to suit the vary-
ing requirements of the students. This is furnished
in the form of meal tickets. Additional tickets may
be purchased by the student if desired. No r*ebate is
given on unused meal tickets, and no transfer of use
of meal tickets from one term to another is allowed.
The University assumes no responsibility for, and will
not replace, any m'eal tickets which may be lost or
mutilated. All charges are payable in advance by
the term, of approximately eleven weeks as per col-
lege calendar, and no rebate is allowed for any rea-
Oglethorpe University 53
son. The particular attention of the student is called
to the fact that the issuance of these meal tickets
is for their convenience, solely; that they are good
only for meals taken during the term for which they
are issued and that the minimum charge for them is
$72.00 for the Autumn term, and $60.00 for the Spring
and Winter terms, and is not subject to rebate of
any kind on account of failure of students to use the
tickets which are furnished them.
Expenses: The University reserves the right to
raise or lower any and all charges, to discontinue any
and all discounts and scholarships, to cancel any and
all contracts for self-help work and to lower or raise
cafeteria prices at will, as conditions may require.
All charges are based upon and payable by the term,
in advance, not by the month or year. The lengths of
terms are specified in the college calendar. When
payments are permitted under special conditions the
obligation of the student to meet deferred payments
is not thereby impaired. Such special privileges of
payment will be withdrawn in all cases where the stu-
dent fails to make settlement without previous billing
or notice. A penalty of $5.00 is assessed on all stu-
dents attending classes or any examination without
having settled their account in advance and $1 per day
for delayed registration of Winter and Spring terms.
If a student attends a single class, or occupies a dor-
mitory room for a single night or purchases a cafe-
teria ticket, the contract for that term is thus made
binding and no rebate of any kind will be allowed on
board (cafeteria meal tickets), room rent, tuition or
college fees for that term.
The minimum charges for board and room rent
ar<e set at figures which years of experience have in-
dicated to be suitable to the average student. This
54 Ogleithorpe University
is especially true of board which is set low to suit
many students that so desire it. Those whose re-
quirements are greater are expected to purchase ex-
tra tickets.
The University discourages the occupation of one
room by more than two students and no reduction in
room rent is permitted on that account except in the
case of very large rooms furnished barracks style.
The University cafeteria furnish'es a liberal assort-
ment of food at moderate prices, varying with the
Atlanta market.
Contingent Fee
A contingent fee of $3.00 per term (non return-
able) is charged to cover intra-mural and intercollegi-
ate athletic expenses, breakages, damages to property
and similar minor losses due to students. This fee
will be raised or lowered in proportion to the expenses
sustained by the University, as above.
FINES
A penalty of $1.00 will be charged each student
moving articles of furniture from one room to an-
other without permission from either the Bursar's of-
fice or the Cashier's office. This fine will also be
charged any student changing his room without per-
mission from the office.
A fine of $1.00 a day (up to one-third of the term)
will be charged for late registration. Winter and
Spring terms.
A fine of $5.00 is charged if any student attends
a class or examination without registration, which in-
cludes payment of charges.
Oglethorpe University 5i
Infirmary
The University maintains at all times an excellent
infirmary, with a nurse in attendance, for the prompt
treatment of accidents and of such cases of sickness
as may occur. By this means prolonged and serious
illness can often be prevented. There is a University
physician who can be s'ecured on short notice when his
services are needed. Students whose medical needs
exceed the facilities of the infirmary find every re-
quirement satisfied by the hospitals of the city.
The University makes no charge to the students
for infirmary service, which includes also the attend-
ance of the college physician in the infirmary. In
case of special illness requiring operations or the ser-
vices of specialists while the University fr'equently
is able to secure reduced rates for students, yet we
assume no responsibility beyond such services as our
college physician and college infirmary are able to
render. This includes accidents and injuries arising
from participation in inter-collegiate sports, in which
case a special consideration is offered as specified else-
where.
Directions to New Students
students coming to Oglethorpe University from a
distance should remember that Oglethorpe University
has its own station on the main line of the Southern
Railway between Atlanta and Washington, Tickets
may be purchased and baggage checked to Oglethorpe
University, Georgia, the station being immediately in
front of the campus. Students coming to Atlanta
over other lines may either re-check their baggage to
the University station, or may have it delivered at a
special rate by the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Co. In
56 Oglethorpe University
using the latter method mention should always be
made of the special students' rate at the time the
order is given.
Students arriving at any of the Railway or Bus
terminals in Atlanta may board "Oglethorpe" street
cars at the points listed b'elow. This method of trans-
portation is much more economical than by taxicab.
Students arriving at the Terminal Station in At-
lanta may walk a distance of four blocks (down Mit-
chell Street to Broad Street, up Broad Street to the
northwest corner of Broad and Marietta Streets) and
board the street car.
Students arriving at the Union Station may walk
a distance of two blocks (down Forsyth to Marietta
Street) and board the street car.
Students arriving at the Union Bus Terminal may
walk a distance of two blocks (up Carnegie Way to
Peachtree Street, up Peachtree Street one block to a
safety zone) and board the same car at this point.
Fares on street cars in Atlanta are ten cents for
one fare (cash) or four tokens for thirty cents. These
tokens may be purchased from the street car operator.
Summer Session
The summer term of Oglethorpe University meets
the requirements of regular students who desire to
speed up their courses or to make up work that is un-
satisfactory. It also serves a large number of teach-
ers working toward degrees.
Ail summer cours'es are credited toward the attain-
ment of a degree, and afford a convenient way to
push up by one year the date of graduation. Local
extension students by availing themselves of the op-
portunities of the Summer Session are able to do an
Oglethorpe University 57
amount of work, in twelve calendar months, equal to
that done in an academic year of nine months by a
full-time campus student. Write for bulletin of Sum-
mer Session.
Graduate School
It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to de-
velop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offer-
ing courses in all departments leading to the Master's
degree. In supplying this need, the management of
the University will be content only with the very high-
est grad'es of work and facilities.
Courses leading to the Master's degree in certain
departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this
catalogue, under the appropriate department heading.
This degree is based upon that of Bachelor of Arts
of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved
institution. The candidate must carry an aggregate
of fifteen hours of graduate work, with at least two
professors. Transfer credits (maximum 3 year
hours) will be allowed. The work must be of gradu-
ate grade, and must be approved by the Dean of the
Graduate School and the Registrar. In addition a the-
sis is required. But the degree is not 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.
In this connection the prospective student will be
interested in learning that all professors chosen as
the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University
must have attained the highest academic degree offer-
ed that department. This fact is mentioned in order
to indicate the earnest determination of the Board
of Directors of the University that her faculty shall
58 Oglethorpe University
include only men of the highest intellectual attain-
ment as well as men of great teaching power and
strong personality.
Students entering the graduate school in selecting
their major courses must present not less than two
years (six year hours) of under-graduate work in
the same or closely related subjects evidenced by of-
ficial transcripts from standard institutions recogniz-
ed as such by the Department of Education of the
State of Georgia. In addition to this the student must
have had one year (three year hours) of work in any
subject selected as a minor.
A class that meets once a week during the session
of nine months, carries a credit of one hour (one year
hour). A class that meets three times a week (three
clock hours for nine months) carries a credit of one
hour per term, three hours per year.
A minimum of fifteen college hours or one year
of work and a minimum of one year (nine months)
of residence is required for the Master's degree. A
minimum of one year or approximately nine months'
residence is required for the Bachelor's degree. Of
the fifteen hours required for the Master's degree
not less than nine shall be devoted to the major sub-
ject and the other six or more selected by the advice
and counsel of the Dean of the Department in which
the student is working. In addition a satisfactory
thesis must be presented to the Faculty Committee
upon a subject approved by them and filed with the
Committee not less than ten days before the date of
graduation. Three additional hours may be taken in
lieu of a thesis.
The Registrar of the University will be pleased to
answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be of-
fered.
Oglethorpe University 59
CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUED ATTENDANCE
It being the purpose of the University to offer its
services only to those students who by their applica-
tion and conduct show their appreciation of their op-
portunities and also to protect its patrons from the
demoralizing influences of indifferent and undesirable
students, the University will at its own discretion
and without further explanation, exercise the right
to decline re-registration at the beginning of any
term to those students who, in the opinion of the ap-
pointed officials are not making satisfactory campus
citizens.
In pursuance of this purpose, a complete list of the
student body is presented at the close of each term
to the deans of the University, to the dean of women,
to the librarian, to the bursar, matron, cashier, foot-
ball coach, superintendent, registrar and to the pres-
ident of the student body with directions that each of
them should canvass the list and set a mark opposite
the name of any student who, in their opinion, has
definitely failed in any of the following points:
1 Continued failure to attend classes, including
the Tuesday assembly.
2 Continued failure in their classroom work and
inattention and misbehavior in the classrooms and at
assembly exercises.
3 Willful destruction of or damage to University
property.
4 Disloyalty to the University and discourtesy to
any of the faculty or officials,
5 Evident dissatisfaction with rules and regula-
tions or discontent with facilities offered.
6 Ungentlemanly or unladylike behavior, includ-
60 Oglethorpe University
ing cheating, stealing and drunkenness or continual
breach of good manners.
Should any student be marked adversely by as
many as four of the persons voting, he or she will not
be re-registered nor accepted as a student at a subse-
quent term, this with no implication of expulsion but
to me'et the standards adopted for our students.
The President of the University is directed to sup-
ervise the balloting and to warn all those taking part
in it to guard their votes against the influence of
personal prejudice. Only the best interests of the
students and the good of the institution are to be
consid'ered.
The appointed officials of the institution reserve
the right to suspend or expel any student whose con-
duct or lack of proper application to his studies may,
in the opinion of said officials, warrant the suspen-
sion or expulsion. All contracts and agreements made
with the students by the University are subject to
the above conditions for continued attendance.
The Faculty and Administrative Officers of the
University reserve to themselves the right to make
any changes in any of the rules or regulations con-
tained herein or to change any of the textbooks or
other study material which they may deem advisable
at any time. Notice of any change posted on the reg-
ular Bulletin Board maintained by the University shall
he sufficient.

School of Liberal Arts
Leading- to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the
Liberal Arts
G. F. NicoLAssEN, Dean
This course of study is intended to encourage es-
pecially the study of languages, ancient and modern.
No Latin is required for entrance or for gradua-
tion. But at least one year of Latin is very desirable
for the better understanding of English words and
English grammar. Such a course may be taken in
college.
Considerable variety is possible in following the
curriculum on page 68, as there are two sections
of English 1, two in Spanish 1, and the languages
may be taken in almost any order. But this arrange-
ment should be followed in the main to avoid conflict
of classes in the later years. Each student in the
Liberal Arts course should consult the Dean at the
very beginning and have his work mapped out for
the whole four years.
At least one year of German and one year of French
will be required either in High School or in College.
Any subject that has been taken in High School
must be replaced by an elective.
Latin
Latin 111-2-3. For entrance into this class the stu-
dents are expected to have had at least three years of
high school Latin. They must be able to translate Eng-
lish into Latin with some facility. Livy and Horace
will be studied in this year. Prose composition, both
oral and written, will be carried on throughout the
year. Elective. Three hours.
62 Oglethorpe University
Latin 211-2-3. The studies in this class will be in
Tacitus and Juvenal. Twice a week throughout the

as the class may need. This cours'e may be arranged
for those who wish to teach Latin. Twice a week
throughout the year. Elective. Two hours.
Greek
Greek 111-2-3. Preparatory. This course is designed
not merely for those who have no previous 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. Three hours.
Greek 211-2-3. The preparation for entrance into
this class is not so much a matter of time as of tho-
roughness. The student is expected to know the ordi-
nary Attic inflections and syntax, to have read about
one book of the Anabasis, and to have had consider-
able practice in translating English into Greek.
A part of the work of this class consists of the min-
ute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis
of tenses, and 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. Elective. Two hours.
Text-Books: Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and
White), Memorabilia, Adam's Lysias, Goodwin's
Oglethorpe University 63
Greek Grammar, Pearson's Greek Prose Composition,
Myers's Eastern Nations and Greece, Liddell and
Scott's Greek Lexicon (unabridged.)
Greek 311-2-3. In the first term Demosthenes will
be read; in the second, Herodotus; in the third. Ho-
mer. Elective. Two hours.
Graduate Courses in Latin and Greek
511-2-3. Those who are thinking of taking gradu-
ate courses are advised to write to the President or
to tb!e Professor, that their preliminary studies may
be so guided as to fit them for the work. The re-
quirements for entrance into these courses are given
elsewhere in this catalogue, under the head of Grad-
uate School.
In Latin the folowing course will be offered for
the A.M., degree in the s'ession of 1939-40; Vergil's
complete works; Vergil in the Middle Ages; History

School of Literature and Journalism
Robert L. Ormsby, Acting Dean
This course leads to the degree of bachelor of arts,
and aims at providing a general liberal education,
stressing the literary and other cultural subjects.
Latin is not required for ^entrance, but two or three
years of Latin are desirable.
The work in English in the college division has the
two-fold purpose of giving students command over
the use of their own tongue in both speaking and
writing, and of familiarizing them with the best in
English literature. The summer courses, though not
identical with the winter ones, are similar, thus en-
abling a student to complete a part of his requirements
for a degree in the summer term.
English
English 111-2-3. Composition and Literature. The
purpose of this required Freshman course in English
is to combine the reading of examples of modern prose
and poetry with practice in composition, both vmt-
ten and oral. The chief object of the course is to
teach students to express themselves correctly, clear-
ly, and effectively. Continual emphasis is laid on
increasing the store of words. A vocabulary test is
given at the beginning of the fall term, and a second
one at the end of the spring term, to show each stu-
dent what progress he has made. For those Fresh-
men who are shown to be in need of special work in
the fundamentals, a remedial section is formed dur-
ing the fall term for drill in spelling, punctuation,
and grammar. No college credit will be given for
70 Oglethorpe University
this work, but as soon as a student makes sufficient
progress he may be given an opportunity to enter a
regular Freshman s'ection. No student will be per-
mitted to take any advanced studies in this depart-
ment until he has made a satisfactory record in Fresh-
man English. Three hours. The staff.
English 211-2-3. English Literature to 1800. Pre-
requisite, English 111-2-3. This required course for
Sophomores is a survey of English literature from
Beowulf to Wordsworth. The selections are studied
with special reference to their historical backgrounds.
Students are given frequent practice in composition.
They are required to use the library on special assign-
ments, and they learn to take notes from lectures.
In the study of the different examples of literature,
types and forms are analyzed, including the simple
elements of versification. Three hours. The staff.
English 221-2-3. Journalism. Required of all stu-
dents in the School of Literature and Journalism, but
not open to Freshmen. This is a practical course, with
laboratory periods, devoted to the study of modern
newspaper and magazine make-up. Students practice
every aspect of newswriting and feature-writing.
Professor Link and Mr. Sutcliffe.
English 141-2-3. English Bible. Old Testament.
Two hours. Dean Nicolassen.
English 251-2-3. English Bible. New Testament.
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 un-
derstanding of the work. It will be treated not from
a sectarian point of view, or as mere history or liter-
ature. The aim wiU be to impart such a knowledg^e
of the subject as every intelligent man should possess,
Oglethorpe University 71
enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and
profit. An effort will be made to give 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. Two hours.
Dean Nicolassen.
English 311-2-3. The Modern Essay. Prerequisites,
English 111-2-3 and 211-2-3. This is a course open
to Juniors and Seniors, especially those who hope to
do professional writing. It centers about the con-
temporary magazine and newspaper article. One of
the primary objects of the course is to introduce the
student to contemporary ideas, especially those that
are revolutionizing the world today. Articles are
read, analyzed and discussed, and frequent practice
is given in the cPear and orderly presentation of
thought. Special emphasis is laid on essay structure.
It is an axiom of this department, and of this course
in particular, that the best preparation for journalism
is not the learning of trade tricks for writing copy
but the power to use good English combined with
the background of a cultural education. Three hours.
Dean Ormsby.
* English 321-2-3. The English Drama. Prerequi-
sites English 111-2-3 and English 211-2-3. This is a

sites as above. Three hours.
*English 391-2-3. The Story of Philosophy. The in-

Latin, especially scientific terms. Students looking
forward to medicine will find this course particularly
helpful. No knowledge of either language is required

School of Education
H. J. Gaertner, Dean
Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in
Education
The School of Education is both an undergraduate
and also a graduate school. A number of graduates
from such schools in Oglethorpe University as well as
other colleges have entered the teaching profession.
Much of the work being psychological and humanis-
tic, the discipline of this school is a preparation for
various lines of work beside that of teaching. The
school is a good preparation for dealing with all forms
of human contact sides of life work. We especially
recommend the courses in shorthand and typewriting
to be taken as part of the electives in the third or
fourth year or earlier by students preparing for sec-
retarial careers, or commercial teaching in high
schools.
Students in the Department of Education upon en-
tering the University Division (third and fourth
years) or previously thereto, are required to desig-
nate the subject which they expect to teach, which
thereby becomes their major subject. From nine to
twelve year hours of college work are required of
them in said subject for graduation, or, by special
permission of the Dean of the School of Education, in
two closely related subjects.
The school of Adult Education has been and is giv-
ing a variety of courses to meet the needs of teach-
ers. In order to conform to the measurement of most
schools of this type after September 1, 1939, we shall
use the "course plan." All subjects will be adjusted
Oglethorpe University 95
to this plan. The regular students, however, will con-
tinue the "hour" plan.
Education 111-2-3. Orientation in Education. In
this course the historical and philosophical back-
ground of the American School System will be stud-
ied. A detailed study of the needs and opportunities
in the Georgia School System will be made.
Education 211-2-3. General Psychology. This is
the basic course for any type of education. It is mod-
ern in treatment, but we adhere to the "Middle of the
Road" point of view.
Education 221-2-3. Penmanship. The Palmer Sys-
tem. Also suggestions for attractive blackboard print-
ing.
Education 231-2-3. Methods in Manuscript Writ-
ing. Three hours.
Education 311-2-3. Educational Psychology. A study
of the mind in the Acts of Learning ; its varied Func-
tions, Stimulation, Reactions and Processes, Laws of
Mental Activity. Purpose of the Course: To under-
stand more fully the application of Psychology to the
problem of education.
Education 331-2-3. Mental Hygiene. In this course
the student investigates many causes for mental fail-
ures, the problems of happiness in living, causes of
abnormal mentality and the general way in which the
normal mind is formed.
Education 341-2-3. Principles of Secondary Edu-
cation. A study of the historical development of the
secondary school with reference to purposes and cur-
riculum; objectives of secondary education; relation
of the high school to the community ; adaptation of
curricula and subject matter to individual differ-
ences; organization and supervision; school manage-
96 Oglethorpe University
ment; school law; education and vocational guidance r-
extra-curricular activities. Elective in third and
fourth year.
Education 351-2-3. Psychology of the Elementary
School Subjects. In this course the present status of
these subjects will be studied. The course includes
an examination of each type of elementary teaching,
supply and demand in the profession, characteristics
that make for success in each field, and diagnostic
service to enable the student to cultivate desirable
and eliminate undesirable traits.
Education 361-2-3. Curriculum. Historical origins,
development, and future problems.
Education 371-2-3. Organization of Elementary
Schools.
Education 381-2-3. Introduction to Teaching.

For Adult Education Students
During the last few j^ears a variety of educational
subjects have been off'ered at the request of our Adult
Education Students. These will vary with the needs
and wishes of the student. In each instance the course
will be planned by the Dean of the School and the
Registrar. A total of nine courses, together with an
approved thesis, will be required for the Master of
98 Oglethorpe University
Arts in Education. For the degree of Bachelor of
Arts 36 courses are required.
The work is largely planned for those working for
Bachelor's or Master's Degrees. Accordingly, Ogle-
thorpe will date the educational history of each stu-
dent and plan the work necessary for graduation.
In planning such work we see that certain definite
studies must enter the curriculum of each student.
For the Bachelor's degree, the student must have ful-
filled the following requirements : Science, 3 courses ;
Foreign Language, 3 courses ; Education, 6 courses ;
English, 3 courses ; Social Science, 3 courses ; elec-
tives, 18 courses.
During recent years all Colleges have been working
toward a better organized curriculum. It is this ten-
dency that demands the above definite requirements.
There is required a total of 36 courses of acceptable
credits. A minimum of 9 courses must be taken in
Oglethorpe University. The Course System will be
used in 1939-40.
The Master's degree is based on the Bachelor's de-
gree. The minimum requirement for the Master's is
9 courses.
A thesis, approved by the thesis committee, is also
required. If the student wishes, however, he may
take 2 additional courses in lieu of a thesis.
In addition, Oglethorpe University offers a Summer
Quarter divided into two terms of 51/^ weeks each.
Classes meet six days per week. 2 courses each term
or 4 courses during the quarter is the regular amount
of credit earned. A course is one and two-thirds year
Oglethokpe University 99
hours or five quarter hours. By these plans teachers
combining the year's work and summer school attend-
ance will be able to receive their degree in a reason-
able time.
At present the number of college graduates offer-
ing for teaching places is so large that we are rap-
idly approaching the time when college graduation
will be required as a minimum for the profession.
The charge for tuition in the Adult Education Di-
vision is fifteen dollars per year hour, or twenty-five
dollars per course. These prices are subject to a dis-
count of 33 1-3% to teachers in active service. All
charges are payable in advance. However, arrange-
ments can be made to divide this into two payments
per term.

Appreciation of Music 511-2-3. An inquiry into the
evolution of music from the earliest times to the pres-
ent. The plan contemplated is a combination of his-
tory, musical form, and appreciation. While the his-
torical phase is interesting, and an understanding of
musical form appeals to the intellectual and scientif-
ic, the main object is to cultivate increased apprecia-
tion of its beauty and of its power as an instrument
of expression. The course will introduce simple and
primitive forms with explanations and illustrations.
This will be followed in proper sequence by the folk
songs, the dance form, the suite, grand opera, ora-
torio, and the symphony. Attention will be given to
instrumentation and the development of the modern
orchestra. Illustrative material will be supplied by
the living voice, the piano, and the recently perfected
forms of electrical recording. The course will be
semi-laboratory in its presentation. Those taking the
course for college credit may present it in lieu of a
three hour requirement in Social Science or in the
School of Education.

114 Oglethorpe University
School of Physical Education
Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in
Physical Education
John William Patrick, Dean
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 training, equipping them for
positions as physical directors and coaches in other
schools, colleges and universities and in Y. M. C. A.'s
and the Army.
For the special preparation of students for posi-
tions as physical directors and coaches in high
schools, prep schools and universities, a regular cur-
riculum has been arranged offering instruction in
certain subjects, the completion of which will lead to
a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education.
The science courses listed are designed especially
for students of Physical Education. The courses are
planned to awaken in the student an interest that
shall be more compelling than that of a prescribed
course. To this end instruction is based in so far
as possible on direct observations made in demon-
stration. Each organ is studied with reference to its
development, anatomy and physiology. Bones, mus-
cles, viscera, etc., have meaning when introduced in
the light of their development. The facts observed
are discussed in lectures and quizzes. Free use is
made of charts, models, anatomical preparations and
microscopic slides. Weekly quizzes are supplemented
by written tests given upon the completion of some
general division of the subject.
History and Principles of Physical Education 121-2-
3. Three lectures weekly throughout the year. This
Oglethorpe University 115
course deals with the history of physical education in
Europe and the Orient. The course also deals with
the history of physical education in America. Pri-
marily the aim of this course is to relate the story
of physical education from the earliest times to the
modern. The political, social, and religious condi-
tions which determine the presence or absence, or
the character of physical education are discussed at
length. Three hours.
Varsity Coaching Football, basketball, and base-
ball 111-2-3. Three lectures weekly throughout the
year. Classes conducted by Varsity head coaches in
respective departments. Fundamentals, strategy, psy-
chology pertaining to athletics, the art of coaching

Intramural Athletics
In order to extend the benefits of organized ath>
letic competition to all students of Oglethorpe Uni-
Oglethorpe University 117
versity, instead of only to those who take part in
intercollegiate competition, the Department of Physi-
cal Education sponsors the program of Intramural
Athletics.
The purpose of the intramural department is to en-
courage every student to participate in some or all
intramural sports, to provide facilities for this par-
ticipation, to organize and promote intramural com-
petition, and to stand for fair play and true sports-
manship.
This program includes competitive sports for every
student on the campus. Students thus benefit from
the wholesome effect of organized sports, and from
the physical development which naturally follows.
Intramural competitors, strangers at first but later
friends, learn courage, determination, and self con-
trol. Qualities of loyalty, self-sacrifice and team play
are also thoroughly ingrained in each individual
through this program.
The fact that the intramural program provides con-
tinuous competition in some sports throughout the
school year assures each participating student of
physical exercise every day of the school year. Too
much emphasis cannot be placed on this particular
phase of athletics.

Oglethorpe University 119
Scholarships for Athletics
We are constantly receiving inquiries from pros-
pective students concerning "athletic scholarships."
The only scholarships offered by the University are
given as rewards for exceptional high school and col-
lege attainment. The only way in which a football
or baseball player can receive aid at Oglethorpe is
in the same way that other students are aided, by
such self-help jobs as it may be possible for him to
fill consistent with their week-end absences. These
positions pay from twenty to forty cents per hour
and if occupied industriously and efficiently will cov-
er the student's college expenses in large part. The
university must necessarily assign self-help students
taking part in inter-collegiate athletics to such self-
help positions as their engagements may permit them
to hold.
Our endeavor and policy is to treat all students
exactly alike, neither favoring nor discriminating
against a boy who happens to be a fine football play-
er.
Rules for Eligibility of Players in Inter-Collegiate
Sports at Oglethorpe University
1. All students engaging in inter-collegiate sports
must be fully registered and qualified under the en-
trance requirements of the University as published
in the catalogue.
2. All students engaging in inter-collegiate sports
must carry at least twelve hours (24 semester hours)
of standard college work.
3. All students engaging in varsity inter-collegiate
sports must have passed not less than twelve hours
of work during the preceding year.
120 OGLEfTHORPE UNIVERSITY
4. No student at Oglethorpe University shall be
shown any preferences financially or academically be-
cause of engaging in inter-collegiate athletics, but the
fact that the student engages in inter-collegiate sports
shall not prejudice his selection in self-help positions
open to all members of the student body,
5. Oglethorpe University will not, under any cir-
cumstances, permit the payment of any moneys for
the services of athletes, either by alumni, friends, or
by the college itself.
6. The University assumes no responsibility for in-
juries to students who engage in inter-collegiate ath-
letics, but in lieu thereof will remit to those students
who make the varsity or the first year squad a sum
equivalent to their tuition, which sum is remitted for
the purpose of paying hospital, doctor, dentist bills,
etc., in case of injuries or treatments made necessary
by their participation in any game and personal as-
sumption of the risks thereby involved.
IMPORTANT: All diplomas and degrees of Ogle-
thorpe University are granted upon the basis of cred-
its for regular class room attendance and the success-
ful passing of examinations. No credits are given
for any form of private instruction. All courses for
which credits are given must be advertised in the cat-
alogue or filed in advance in writing with the Reg-
istrar by the Dean of the Department in which they
are offered and approved by the President of the
University, and must be announced by bulletin as
available to any and all students qualified to take
them under catalogue regulations. All classes must
be met in regular class rooms provided therefor by
the University. No credit for any form of work done,
other than as described above, will be granted.

THE CRYPT OF CIVILIZATION
Beneath the Administration building a Crypt fit-
ted with a stainless steel door and lined with stain-
less steel plates has been prepared for the reception
of a collection of material representing a cross section
of civilization of today and the sum total of human
knowledge of our times. This consists of micro book
records of all of the important books in the world, a
complete photographic history of the United States
since 1837, in still pictures, and since 1898, in motion
pictures ; and working models of all of our important
inventions. All of this material will be sealed in con-
tainers of glass from which the air has been evacuat-
ed and replaced with an inert gas. The glass contain-
ers are in turn placed inside transite and steel cases.
When the material has been finally assembled the
Crypt will be sealed, to remain inviolate for six
thousand years. All of the material will be copied in
duplicate on cellulose acetate film and on metal strips.
Tests indicate that this will survive until the opening
of the Crypt. (See complete story on last pages of
catalogue.)
Historiographic Museum
This museum is now being established at Ogle-
thorpe. It is the first photographic museum in the
world. It is devoted entirely to the history of the
United States as illustrated by still, sound, and motion
pictures. The collection is already started at the
University, and a building will be built to house it and
an organization set in motion to carry on its work
permanently. This will provide the greatest collection
of contemporary American history available any-
where.

Athletics Hermance Field
The magnificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
P. Hermance in giving to Oglethorpe an Athletic Sta-
dium, makes feasible the development of all 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 is required.
A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Uni-
versity toward intercollegiate athletics, and Ogle-
thorpe University is acquitting herself well in that
sphere of her educational life.
The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the
care of the physical life of our students as a matter
of large importance. Regular instructon, 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 on Hermance Sta-
dium has begun and a section is finished providing
accommodations for five thousand spectators and
participants.
Lake Phoebe
Besides having those sports common to all well
equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe Univer-
sity is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake
covering eighty acres located conveniently to the Uni-
versity campus, with a part of its shores set aside
for a university boat house. This will enable the
institution to add a crew to its list of athletic sports.
124 Oglethorpe University
The lake is admirably suited for boating, rowing,
swimming and fishing.
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 her labor
and strength and faith and prayer. If her judg-
ments 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 her alone of all the uni-
versities of America, God raised from the dead.
By her every battle, her every faith, her every tri-
umph, she has learned what things are really worth
while and what hand really to lean upon. She will
tell her children of Him.
Libraries
By the generosity of many frieiids, so great as to
be almost unparalleled, and by purchase from special
funds provided, the university received during the
first year of its life approximately fifty thousand vol-
umes for the library. These consist of standard
works in Literature, History and Science, with many
valuable reference works in special departments. The
Oglethorpe University 125
private libraries of Dr. Aldrich in Science ; of Dr. Nic-
olassen in the Classics and of Dr. Burrows in Edu-
cation are all available for the use of the students
in these departments. The policy of the institution is
to let no year go by without the enlargement of the
library. A competent librarian is in charge, and the
rooms will be open during the year of 1939-40 from
7:30 A.M., to 10:00 P.M. The Carnegie Library of
Atlanta is also available for the use of our students.
King Library of English
By the splendid generosity of Dr. Cheston King the
university has a library of English with some seven-
teen thousand books and pamphlets.
Special Religious Services
Regular assembly exercises which the students are
required to attend, are conducted by each of the mem-
bers of the faculty in turn. During the last three
years daily preaching services have been held for
one or two weeks in the Oglethorpe Auditorium.
Oglethorpe Goat-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 resolu-
tion unanimously adopted by the Faculty of the uni-
versity, upon recommendation of the President:
"Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1922,
the Coat-of-Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be
given to those students carrying a minimum of fifteen
hours weekly, of excellent personal character and con-
126
Oglethorpe University
duct, whose general average for all the courses taken
during five preceding consecutive terms shall have
been not less than 93, or who, in lieu of said general
average, shall have so distinguished themselves in
some intellectual, creative, or constructive accomplish-
ment as to entitle them thereto in the judgment of
the faculty."

Roll of Honor
Students who make 5 Quality Points in any term are placed
on the Roll of Honor, and their names are read out in the
Tuesday Public Assembly.
The Oglethorpe Idea
Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe
idea quality in location, in climate, in campus, in ar-
chitecture, in student character, in college life, in ath-
letics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum and in re-
ligion 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
distinguished street in that city, on a most beautiful
campus of over six hundred acres of woodland and
meadow, including an eighty acre lake which belongs
128 Oglethorpe University
to our students for swimming, boating and fishing,,
the physical advantages offered by Oglethorpe Uni-
versity are unsurpassed anywhere in the section.
One by one a splendid body of buildings is being
erected on its campus. Every one of them will be of
granite trimmed with limestone and covered with
variegated slates. All of them will be as fire proof
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, whicK
are believed to be the safest, most beautiful and most
efficient college or university buildings in the South-
east.
The Oglethorpe Site Atlanta
The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educa-
tional center are fast making it one of the great in-
tellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft
Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to-
the entire nation over its many lines of railway,
known everywhere as the center of Southern activ-
ities, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great
minds of the nation and the world. Hither come lec-
turers, musicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors,.
teachers and officials of the United States. An intel-
lectual atmosphere created by such conditions and the-
frequent opportunity of contact with these leaders in
all branches of human activity, offered frequently
to our students, give Oglethorpe University an ad-
vantage of position and of opportunity which she wiir
cultivate to the utmost. Facilities for hearing and
meeting the great musicians and authors and public
speakers and the leaders in all spheres of intellectuaF
activity are offered our students. The tremendous^
Oglethorpe University 129
influence of such contact upon the young lives com-
mitted to us will be felt in their increased ambition
and redoubled determination to perform, themselves,
their duty to their race and their God.
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 inspiration
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, rever-
ence and beauty may be expressed in the face of a
building and are so expressed on the Oglethorpe
campus.
Not less important are the personal surroundings
of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped
apartments have exactly the same influence on the
soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped human
companions have. That is why the rooms at Ogle-
thorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of the
poor are entitled to the information and inspiration
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 defec-
tive.
This is the special work of the silent faculty at
Oglethorpe.
130 Oglethorpe University
The Exceptional Opportunities of Our
Personal Attention
Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal
contact and instruction of the heads of departments
will note with interest that Oglethorpe offers excep-
tional opportunities of that nature. It is well known
that in all our large institutions only the upper class-
men come into any close contact with the full profes-
sors, who as heads of departments occupy their time
in other matters than in 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.
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 postoffice,
express office and railway station, all known as Ogle-
thorpe University, Georgia.
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
President Thornwell Jacobs, Saturday afternoon, No-
Oglethorpe University 131
vember 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 she is best able
to serve. These committees cover the various depart-
ments of the University. They are: Ways and Means,
Finance, Grounds, Press, Entertainment, Hospital,
Music, Library, Arts, Refreshments, Transportation,
and such other committees as it may seem wise to the
Board from time to time to appoint.
The authorities of the University welcome the for-
mation of this organization with the greatest joy.
The mere fact that they have promised a devoted
allegiance to the enterprise has its own genuine value,
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 has been 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
for the year 1939-40 are as follows :
132 Ogletthorpe University
President, Mrs. Hugh Bancker; Vice-President,
Mrs. J. D. Cromer; Recording Secretary, Mrs. I. R.

Oglethorpe University
It has already been announced, that this Institution will
commence its exercises on the first Monday of January, 1838.
The Board of Trustees, while again calling public attention
to this fact, offer some remarks in explanation to a new fea-
ture which they may have given to its character.
Oglethorpe University 155
The University will consist of three departments, Collegiate,
Academic, and Primary.
Any person desirous of seeing the laws which govern the
Collegiate department, can obtain a copy of the pamphlet con-
taining them, by application to B. P. Stubbs, of this place. Sec-
retary and Treasurer of the Board.
Candidates for admission into the Freshman Class, must be
prepared to stand an examination on Caesar's Commentaries,
four books; Cicero's Select Orations; Mair's Introduction to
Latin Syntax; the Gospels in the Greek Testament; Dalphel's
Grammar, including Latin Prosody; also, on English Gram-
mar, Arithmetic and Geography, ancient and modern.
The course of instruction in the several classes, will be as
follows, to wit:

(Provision will also be made for instruction in Modern)
Languages)
The Academic Department will consist of those who are
preparing for entrance into this or any other college.
The Primary Department will be composed of those pur-
suing the ordinary branches of an English education.
The students of these two departments as well as the Col-
legiate, will be instructed by the Faculty of the College.
In consequence of this arrangement, boys, in the early stage
of their literary course, will enjoy advantages perhaps un-
surpassed in this country, as they will be taught by a regular
Faculty, while the students of the college will receive the full
amount of instruction ordinarily given them, as will be seen
by a reference to the course of study. This system will vastly
increase the labor of the Faculty; this labor they have how-
ever consented to undergo.
The adoption of this new plan has been caused by the pecu-
liar state of the times. Though the amount on our subscrip-
tion list is sufficient to warrant the commencement of the work
in its original form, yet from the present state of affairs, it
would have been more than indelicate to call upon many in-
dividuals for their subscriptions. On the other hand, many
parents have been making arrangements to send their sons to
Midway during the next year. Such persons it would be
painful to disappoint, yet it would be impossible to proceed
for v/ant of surplus in hand. The course now announced as
being adopted, was then proposed that is, to bring the Acad-
emy and College under the government and instruction of the
same President and Professors. By this arrangement the ex-
pense of the institution will be sustained, and all difficulties
in its way removed.
The Board of Trustees takes this occasion to say that this
year the Steward's Hall will be discontinued. This is done,
that there may be no hindrance in the way of such persons as
may wish to move to Midway for the purpose of taking
boarders.
The Trustees close this communication by suggesting to
parents, (who desire their children to be educated, and who
cannot afford to send them abroad for this purpose) the pro-
priety of settling themselves at Midway. By taking boarders,
the expenses of their family could be more sustained, and
their children of all ages receive thorough and finished edu-
cation. To others disposed to turn their attention to keeping
boarders as a business, we would suggest that Midway offers
inducements inferior to few if any other positions at the South
a healthy and delightful location, and as many boarders as
they may be able to accommodate.
By order of the Executive Committee.

THE CRYPT OF CIVILIZATION
Something new in the history of the world is
taking place at Oglethorpe University. This is the
conception and inauguration of the most unique arch-
eological project in the history of mankind. It is also
the integration and correlation of all known facts re-
garding our civilization today, and the preservation
of the result of this research for the people who in-
habit this world sixty centuries hence.
Looking back into history, throughout the whole
Icnown world, at no time in any country or in any
civilization has there been a conscious attempt to pre-
serve all the known facts regarding any nation or
people so that it may be passed on to posterity. Even
if any person had conceived of a project of this kind
prior to the last fifty years it would have been im-
possible to have carried it out. Only modern ad-
vancement in science has made this possible, and only
one person in the known history of the world ever vis-
ioned this stupendous task.
It was not until in 1935 that Dr. Thornwell Ja-
cobs, the president of Oglethorpe University, while
teaching his Cosmic History class suddenly realized
the above fact. At first he put it aside as imprac-
ticable of accomplishment owing to the tremendous
labor involved, but the idea grew upon him, and he
finally decided to carry it out. In 1936 in consulta-
tion with Orson Munn, of the Scientific American, a
beginning was made, and the Scientific American an-
nounced the project and invited suggestions from sci-
entists and laymen for carrying out the work. Dr.
Jacobs decided to place the time for the opening of
the "Crypt of Civilization", as he named it, as far in
the future as our written records go into the past,
namely, six thousand years, which would make the
158 Oglethorpe University
time for the unsealing A. D., 8113.
The Literary Digest, then edited by Mr. Pendray,
also announced the project and gave considerable
space to the story, which so impressed Editor Pendray
that he later "sold" the idea to the Westinghouse Com-
pany for the "Time Capsule", which was a miniature
edition of the Oglethorpe Crypt idea and which was
buried under the Westinghouse Building at the
World's Fair.
Active preparation was commenced by Dr. Jacobs
to begin a collection of material for the Crypt. At
this time the Neiu York Times published an article on
the Crypt idea, and this came to the notice of a sci-
entist living in Salem, Ohio, T. K. Peters, who wrote
Dr. Jacobs, making some suggestions in regard to
material that should be included in the Crypt, and in
regard to the microfilming of books, which was his
particular hobby. Dr. Jacobs invited him to pay a
visit to Oglethorpe, which he did, and in conference
at the University Dr. Jacobs decided he was the man
to take over the work.
As a result, Peters brought his microfilm camera
down to Oglethorpe and, working with Dr. Jacobs, a
collection of books and other material was begun.
During the two years which have elapsed since that
beginning, a complete and scientific plan of procedure
has been adopted and is being carried out. With the
assistance of the American Library Association a list
was prepared of all of the most authoritative books in
the world, anticipating in a measure WeWs World En-
cyclopedia, for it is a compendium of everything that
civilized man knows today.
The closing of the Crypt will take place in 1940,
and thirty-three months will have elapsed from the
inception of the idea to its fruition.
