THE CREED OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY I believe in God: Infinite intelligence, eternal love, immeasurable power; Father and mother, creator and preserver and destroyer Of all that was and is and will be; Whether visible or invisible. Audible or inaudible, Tangible or intangible. I love God with all my heart and mind and will. I see and hear God at all times, in all places, in all thingfs. I study the Law of God in science, in literature, in religion. I worship God in gratitude, in truth and in conduct. I believe in Man: In his glorious struggle upward out of the night of the past, In his ability and willingness to accept and develop The opportunities and duties of his present dawn, And in the certainty of his eventual arrival At the sublime noon of his highest ideals; I believe in virtue, in justice, and in righteousness among men, The faithful guides that illumine his path Through the jungles of hates and greeds Jtnd fears, I love man, as a friend, as a brother, as myself. I work for man, for his intellectual enlightenment, for his ma- terial betterment, for his moral development. I believe in myself: In my courage, in my conscience, in my power. I believe in strength through joy, joy through faith, and faith through prayer. I believe that the parenthood f God and the brotherhood of man Are above and around and within me. I believe that the Will of God Is revealed in me as in all things else; Most clearly in my best thoughts, my noblest feelings, my fin- est ambitions. I believe in my Messiahship, and in that of all men who follow Ttie urge to live and die for the welfare of the world. I believe in my future; That the kind power which led me through the eternity of the past to this present good hour. Without my knowledge or consent. Will never withdraw his loving kindness from me Now that I have learned to know and love and trust Him. To this faith I commit my all. Lead on, O God! 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 COUNSEL. LIFT THOU MY WALLS INTO THE CLEAR EMPYREAN OF THY TRUTH. COVER ME WITH THE M'INGS 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 HANDS 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.

Marshall Bursar Margaret Stovall Secretary to the President Russell Stovall Student Secretary and Cashier 14 Oglethorpe Univbisity The Faculty of the University The Board f 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 oi learning, have 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 impartir^ 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 College 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 the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual training school, and this in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the state of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the insti- tution. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de- nominational college or university between the Atlan- tic and Pacific Oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institutions which were bom after her in this vast empire. The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton." In the faculty of the institution may be found the names of men who 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 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars. Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked to a friend that the greatest intellectual impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at 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 were closed for the second time. Only twenty-nine 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 pledges 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 the 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 limestone, covered with variegated slates and as near fire proof as human skill can make it, was ready for occupancy in the 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-nine 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 men 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 Charlottsville, 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 been maintained. There are now something like five thousand men. women and children, all of whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to $1,000. 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 illustrated material accompanying this catalog. It will be 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 mate- rial is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with lime- stone. All the buildings are covered with heavy vari- egated slates. The interior construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The building given by Mr. and Mrs. Lupton and their son, our beloved benefactors, is the one with the tower just opposite on the left of the entrance. Lowry Hall, the gift of Col. and Mrs. R. J. Lowry, stands completed at the end of the main axis directly in front of the entrance. The total cost of construction of the buildings men- tioned above with the land and the landscape work required, will be approximately $4,000,000. The build- ing 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. As this property immediately adjoins the two hundred acres already possessed by the University, the com- pleted campus consists of a body of six hundred acres of land in one tract in the immediate vicinity of At- lanta, on Peachtree 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 Hermance 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 the Roman Colosseum, 45,000. It is named in honor of Mr. 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 Univbsity 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 Oglethorpe there will be a book containing the name of every man, woman and child who aided in the founding of the University, arranged alphabetically by states. That Book will be accessible to every student and visitor who may want to know who it was from his or her home that took part in the doing of this, the greatest deed that has been attempted for our sons and daughters in this generation. The Book is not yet complete, be- cause the work is not yet finished, and each month is adding many to this roll of honor, whose 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 Mr. 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 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, and thus to train young men who wish to become spe- Oglethorpe Univirsity 31 cialists in professional and business life and teachers in our high schools and colleges, and to supply the growing demand for specially equipi>ed men in every department of human activity. Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President in order that they may prepare themselves for the ad- vanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate library and laboratory facilities are pro- vided. Free use is made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scien- tific life, whose museums, libraries, and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for obser- vation, inspection and investigation. 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 beween 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- dent dramas, and in the basement, basketball court, swimming pool, lockers and showers, and quarters 32 Oglethorpe University of 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. Lowry 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 * students coming from outside the State of Georgia may be admitted on fifteen units without a high school diploma and without examination, but a certificate must be presented. Unexcused absences will be counted against a student who is in arrears on the payment of dues, dating from the time when payment is due. Oglethorpe University 33 units in English and two units in Mathematics. A unit represents a year's study in any subject in an ac- credited high school. Prospective students are requested to bring their High School certificates with them; better still, to have them sent to the Registrar before applying for registration. List of Entrance Units Fifteen units may be selected from the following list: Group I English Grammar 1 I unit Rhetoric I 1 unit English Literature I or II 1 unit Group II Algebra (to quadratics) 1 unit Algebra (quadratics and beyond) i/2 or 1 unit Geometry (Plane) 1 unit Geometry (Solid) i/4 unit Group III Trigonometry i/^ unit Advanced Arithmetic 1 unit Latin 1, 2, 3, or 4 units Greek 1, 2, or 3 units German 1 or 2 units French ___. 1 or 2 units Spanish 1 or 2 units (Not less than one unit of any foreign language will be accepted). Group IV American History or American History and Civil Government 1 unit Ancient History (Greek and Roman) and Me- dieval History to Modern Times 1 unit 34 Oglethorpe University Modem History (General History may be counted as a unit, but not in addition to Ancient, Medieval and Modern History) 1 unit English History 1 unit Group V General Science 1 unit Physics 1 unit Chemistry 1 unit Zoology 1/2 or 1 unit Botany i/^ or 1 unit Physical Geography 1/2 or 1 unit Physiology, Zoology, Botany. Any two of these may be counted together as 1 unit Special Students students twenty-one years of age may be admitted for special study upon satisfying the Faculty as to their ability to do the work of the classes which they wish to enter. Such students may become regular only by absolving all entrance requirements. Persons under twenty-one years of age desiring to pursue special courses not leading to a degree may do so as unregistered students upon the passage of an ex- amination or examinations satisfactory to the Dean of the department in which the work is to be done. The minimum number of subjects permitted is twelve clock hours per week. 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 : (a) A basis of granting charters to new or pro- * These standards have been adopted by Oglethorpe Univer- sity and are effective as of September 23, 1931. Oglethorpe University 35 posed higher educational institutions under the pro- visions of Section 14 of the Georgia Code.** (b) A basis for preparing an approved list of teach- er training institutions for the State of Georgia. It is not proposed that these standards should op- erate to make it impossible for a worthy new enter- prise to be begun, nor for a worthy institution now in operation to be denied a fair opportunity for de- velopment. It is, therefore, agreed that: (a) In the case of proposed new institutions of higher learning, if the Board of Education is satisfied that such institution has a reasonable possibility of meeting these standards within three years a provis- ional charter for three years may be granted, such charter to be made permanent if and when such in- stitution shall have met the conditions of these stand- ards. (b) In the case of institutions now in operation, the application of these standards shall not go into effect until after the expiration of three years from the date of the adoption of these standards. Standards for Colleges 1. Definition: A standard college, university, or technological in- stitution designated as "college" in this statement of standards is an institution: (a) Which is legally authorized to give non-profes- sional Bachelor's degrees; ** 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 (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 more 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 satisfied. 3. Graduation: A college shall require for graduation the comple- tion of a minimum quantitative requirement of 120 semester hours of credit (or the equivalent in term Oglethorpe University 37 hours, quarter hours, points, majors, or courses) with further qualitative 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 credits (including entrance records) of each student shall be carefully kept. The original credentials filed from other institutions shall be retained. As far as possible, records of graduates should be kept. 6. Size of Faculty and Number of Departments: A college of arts and sciences of approximately 100 students should maintain at least eight separate de- partments with at least one professor in each dievot- ing his whole time to that department. The size of the faculty should bear a definite relation to the type of the institution, the number of students, and the number of courses offered. With the growth of the 38 Oglethorpe University 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 orie 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 graduatve 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. 10. Financial Support: The minimum annual operating income for an ac- credited college, exclusive of payment of interest, an- Oglethorpe University 39 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 specifically upon the subjects taught, administered by a full-time pro- fessionally trained librarian, and with a definite an- nual appropriation for the purchase of new books. 12. Laboratories: The laboratory equipment shall be adequate for all the experiments called for by the courses offered in the sciences, and these facilities shall be kept up by means of an annual appropriation in keeping with the curriculum. 13. General Equipment and Buildings: The location and construction of the buildings, the lighting, heating and ventilation of the rooms, the 40 Oglethorpe University 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 studients 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 culture of good mor- als and ideals, and satisfaction and enthusiasm among students and staff shall be factors in determining its standing. 16. Extra-Curricular Activities: The proper administration of athletics, student Oglethorpe University 41 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 institution 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 unless 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 thereafter, but the Department may for due cause call upon any member to file a new report at any time. Failure to file the blank as required shall be cause for dropping an institution. Inspection No college will be placed on the ap- proved list until it has been inspected and reported upon by 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- 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. 42 Oglethorpe University General Information REGISTRATION 1. Each student will first report of 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 Registrar'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 obligations to the University. 4. At the 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 involved. 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 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 Oglethorpe University 43 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 student 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. 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. 44 Oglethorpe University CLASSIFICATION As a basis for determining the classes to which a student shall belong, the following regulation 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, 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 lower 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 special 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 pre- vious term. If a student wishes to make more than 20 hours, the written consent of the Dean must be se- cured, regardless of the average made. Seniors are Oglejthorpe University 45 not limited, but the written consent of the Dean must be secured. 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, 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 below 50, 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- 46 Oglethorpe University 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 approv^ed by the Dean, 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 the 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 au- tomatically cause the student to be dropped, provid- ed however that if such student has registered for the ensuing term he may continue until the comple- tion thereof, and if he shall have exhibited a marked improvement in his studies, the Dean of his depart- ment may recommend to the faculty the continuance of such student. WITHDRAWALS No withdrawals from the University can be consid- ered as duly authorized unless a student officially no- tifies the Dean of the University at the time of with- drawal. Mere absence from school or non-attendance upon any classes cannot be construed as definite with- Oglethorpe University 47 drawal. If the reasons for withdrawal are acceptable to the Dean, the student's withdrawal is approved, re- corded, and dated ; and the student is entitled to "hon- orable dismissal." Courses of Instruction and Requirements for Degrees In the session of 1940-41 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 satisfac- torily completing a four years' course as outlined be- low, based largely on the study of the languages. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Science will be confer- red upon those students who satisfactorily complete a four years' course largely in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Journal- ism will be given to those students who complete a course including work in languages, literature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Com- merce will be conferred upon those students who sat- isfactorily complete a full four years' course in the studies relating particularly to business administra- tion. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education will be conferred upon those students who complete the studies in the School of Education. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Secretarial Preparation will be conferred upon those students who complete the studies in that School. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Fine Arts will be given to those students who complete 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. 48 Oglethorpe University The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physical Educa- tion will be given to those students specializing in that department. 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 hfe. 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 lives 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 shap^ed as to in- fluence the student towards a certain end, colored largely by the type of studies, yet each course will be found to include such subjects of general culture as are necessary to the making of a life as distin- guished from a living. Graduates of standard normal schools or junior col- leges are admitted to the junior class. 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. Oglethorpe University 49 Condition E (50-59) re-examination allowed. Failure F (below 50) no re-examination. Inc. Incomplete. In the junior division of the college 30 quality points must have been achieved before 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. No fractional credits made either in Oglethorpe University or by transcript 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 the State of Georgia. Definite ofRjcial transcripts are required for admis- sion both to the graduate and under-graduate divis- ions. A student who has had two years of a modern lan- guage in high school cannot receive credit for Fresh- man work in that language. 50 Oglethorpe University All diplomas and degrees of Oglethorpe University are granted upon the basis of credits for regular class room attendance and the successful passing of exam- inations. No credits are given for any form of pri- vate instruction nor for any course in which the stu- dent was not formally registered. 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 Uni- versity, and must be announced by bulletin as avail- able 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 Uni- versity. No credit for any form of work done, other than as described above, will be granted. APPLICATION FOR DEGREES Candidates for graduation must file with the Regis- trar, at least a month before the time of graduation, a written application, by filling out a blank form pre- pared for the purpose. The student is held respon- sible for filing this application. University Expenses Tuition No charges are made for the usual College fees such as matriculation, laboratories, infirmary, con- tingent, and use of library. 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 week Oglethorpe University 51 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, when 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 the middle of the term. This means of paying tuition fees is applicable also to charges for board and room rent. In the Adult Education Department, charges are $13.50 for 1/^ course, subject to discount of one-third to teachers, $9.00 per half course, net. The summer school charges for 1940 are the same as charges in Adult Education Department. No charge will be made for room rent during the summer term to any student taking 4 courses for the entire summer term or 2 courses 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 allow*ed 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 America. All permanent buildings of the University will be like those now 52 Oglethorpe University 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 the dormitory contains ample closet and |or wardrobe space. The rooms are large, airy, safe and comfort- able. 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. Oglethorpe University 53 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 rebate 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- 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. Charges: 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, 54 Oglethorpe University 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 impair^ed. 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 are set at figures which years of experience have in- dicated to be suitable to the average student. This is especially true of board which is set low to suit many students who 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 furnishes a liberal assort- ment of food at moderate prices, varying with the Atlanta market. ACTIVITY FEE Upon petition of the Student Body, a special stu- dent activities fee of $10.00 per term will be charged Oglethorpe University 55 for the session beginning September 1940. The con- tingent fee of $3.00 per term at present charged, will be cancelled. The $30.00 fee will entitle the student to a subscription of the weekly student paper, THE STORMY PETREL ($1.50 per year), to the student annual, THE YAMACRAW, ($7.50 per year) and to ten tickets at $1.00 each to each of the three foot- ball games played at Hermance Stadium during the autumn of 1940. These tickets, the students are at liberty to sell or use for their friends and guests. In addition to the above, a season's pass will be given to each student, admitting him or her, without further charge, to all baseball, basketball and other athletic contests played on the campus of the Univer- sity during the above mentioned session. 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 advance payment of charges. 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 56 Oglethorpe University 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 thie students for infirmary service, which includes also the attend- ance of the college physician in the infirmary. In case of special illness requiring operations or the ser- vices of specialists while the University frequently is able to secure reduced rates for students, yet we assume no responsibility beyond such services as our college physician and college infirmary are able to render. This includes such accidents and injuries arising from participation in inter-collegiate sports, as they may feel competent to treat, in which case a special consideration is offered as specified elsewhere. 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 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 Oglethorpe University 57 cars at the points listed b^low. 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 northeast 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. All summer courses are credited toward the attain- ment of a degree, and afford a convenient way to speed up the date of graduation. The work is given in courses and half courses. One course is equivalent to one and two-third year hours or three and one-third semester hours. Write for bulletin of Summer Ses- sion. Graduate School It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to de- velop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offer- 58 Oglethorpe University 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 grades 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 headmg. 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 or nine courses of graduate work, with at least two professors. A course is equivalent to one and two-thirds year hours. One-half course equals five-sixths year hour. Transfer credits (max- imum three and one-third year hours) will be allowed. The work must be of graduate grade, and must be ap- proved by the Dean of the Graduate School and the Registrar. In addition a thesis is required. But the degree is not guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A certain amount of work must be accom- plished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy the professors concerned and the whole faculty. Students entering the graduate school in selecting their major courses must present not less than two years (six year hours or 4 courses) of under-graduate work in the same or closely related subjects evidenced by official transcripts from standard institutions, rec- ognized 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 or 2 courses) of work in any subject selected as a minor. A minimum of fifteen college hours or 9 courses and a minimum of one year (nine months) of resi- dence is required for the Master's degree. A mini- Oglethorpe University 59 mum of one year or approximately nine months' resi- dence is required for the Bachelor's degree. Of the fifteen hours or nine courses required for the Mas- ter's degree, not less than nine year hours or five and one-half courses shall be devoted to the major subject and the balance selected by the advice and counsel of the Dean of the department in v^hich 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. 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 60 Oglethorpe University 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- ing ch'eating, 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 meiet 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 considiered. 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. p 1^ Oglethorpe University 61 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 be sufficient. 62 Oglethorpe University 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 69, 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.
