BOARD OF FOUNDERS OF THE UNIVERSITY*

Oglethorpe University is owned and controlled by a
Board of Founders, each of whom is a member in good
and regular standing of a Presbyterian Church, and two-
thirds of whom are ratified by the Sessions of the partic-
ular Southern Presbyterian Churches to which the mem-
bers belong. This General Board of Founders meets
once each year, at commencement time, on the univer-
sity grounds in Atlanta, to inspect their institution, to
review all matters of large importance in the life of the
University and to give directions to the Executive Com-
mittee which is elected by them, and from their num-
ber, and which will look after the details of manage-
ment of the Institution between the meetings of the
Board of Founders. Each member of the Board repre-
sents a gift of one thousand dollars or more to the
University.

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

Prospective students will not fail to note the quality
of these Founders, representing the thousands of men
and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consum-
mated this fine purpose. As representatives and gover-
nors of the Institution they will take pleasure in giving
any enquirers information as to the aims and progress
of the University.

rected up to March 1, 1917.

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 nation. After a while
the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on
horseback, suggested the building of a similar institu-
tion under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South.
The movement began with the spring meeting of Hope-
well Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the
founding of a manual training school and this, in turn,
became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill,
in the suburbs of Milledgeville, the then capital of the
State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the In-
stitution. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first de-
nominational college or university between the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of
a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that bril-
liant company of institutions which were born after her
in this vast empire.

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

In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the
names of men who are world-famous. Among these

Oglethorpe University 19

were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James Wood-
row, the brilliant scientist and devoted Christian; Sam-
uel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator, and many
others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of the old Ogle-
thorpe that after four years of instruction she graduated
Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he
was a tutor to her sons until the Spring of '61 when with
the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars.
Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back over his
career, remarked to a friend that the greatest moral im-
pulse of his life had come to him during his college
days at Oglethorpe through the influence of Dr. Wood-
row. Her other eminent alumni include governors, jus-
tices, moderators 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 Confeder-
ate bonds and her buildings, used as barracks and hos-
pital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive
the Institution in the 70's and to locate it in Atlanta, but
the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster
made the adventure impossible and unsuccessful, and
after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed
for the second time.

In the meantime, there had come with the separation
of the Northern and Southern Church, a condition of
affairs which left the Southern half with no capstone to
its educational system. The best minds of the Southern
Church have been constantly restless under this fact. A

20 Oglethorpe University

number of efforts were made to restore the Presbyterian
Church to its leadership in the educational affairs of the
South, but each failed for its own particular reason.

The really marvelous success which has attended the
effort begun in the Spring of 1912 to found a great
Southern Presbyterian University, has largely resulted
from the determination of the men and women who form
her constituency, that their denomination shall no longer
be the only strong denomination in the South without a
university for its student life. Their Institution is named
Oglethorpe, that the fine ideals and traditions of those
early years of struggle and achievement may be pre-
served and that whatever of failure and disappointment
filled them may be retrieved.

Only five years have elapsed since the campaign was
begun and they have been years of financial disaster and
utter turmoil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of
Oglethorpe University are fast approaching the sum of
a million dollars as the result of the most unusual and
self-sacrificing liberality on the part of over five thou-
sand people.

The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on
January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraven upon
it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit (By the Hand of God She has
Risen from the Dead.)"

THE OPENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1916

So it came to pass that Oglethorpe University, built by
the Presbyterians of the South, with the aid of generous
Atlantans of all faiths, opened its doors in the Fall of

Oglethorpe University 21

1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes
of fratricidal strife she rises to breathe the later airs of
a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite,
trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as near
fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready for oc-
cupancy in the Fall of 1916, when her first class gath-
ered on her beautiful campus on Peachtree Road. A
faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in the
country has been formed. The work of raising funds
goes steadily on. Ground has been cleared for the sec-
ond building, which will be commenced shortly. And
all of this has been done in the midst of financial dis-
aster that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and
against the evil influences of a colossal war, which
caused the very joints of the world to gape.

THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION

The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like
a romance. Beginning only four years ago with a con-
tribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gath-
ered 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 Presbyterian leaders, who wished
to erect a capstone to their educational system in this
splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added
to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no
less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or
more to the enterprise ; of how the story has been told in
church after church of the Presbyterian denomination
all over the South from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottes-

22 Oglethorpe University

ville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to Braden-
town, Florida ; the splendid triumph of the Atlanta cam-
paign staged in this city just two years ago; all this is
well known. During the last year the same wonderful
record has been maintained. There are now something
like five thousand men, women and children, all of
whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to
$35,000.00. They are the Founders of Oglethorpe Uni-
versity; they belong to the great Founders' Club which
is carrying the movement forward so splendidly.

The immediate goal set for the present campaign is
something like $3,000,000.00. To this end her many
friends are getting solidly back of the Institution with
their money as well as their words of praise and prayer.

HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY

An idea of the quality of construction and design of
the Institution may be gained from the accompanying
illustrations. (See Frontispiece.)

It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist
have spared no pains to make it one of the really beau-
tiful universities of America. The architecture is Col-
legiate Gothic; the building material is a beautiful blue
granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will
be covered with heavy variegated slates. The interior
construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile.
The first building, which is nearing completion, is the
one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground
of the bird's-eye view: The space has been cleared for
the erection of the second building, which is the one with

the tower on the left of the entrance. The total cost of
construction of the buildings shown in the above design
with the landscape work required, will be approximately
$1,500,000.00. The building plan has been unani-
mously adopted and will be followed out in its entirety.

HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS

But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the
Institution about which the men who are back of Ogle-
thorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and intel-
lectual life of their university. To that end they have
resolved to form a faculty and adopt a curriculum that
will be of the highest possible quality, their thought be-
ing excellence in every department. They will gather
all of the fine ideals of past efforts to found a Southern
Presbyterian University and endeavor to weave their
spirit into the life of their institution. They will take
the superb traditions of the old Oglethorpe and add the
best of this present age to them. Doubtless Oglethorpe
will be a big university some day, but she is already a
great one, and it is greatness rather than bigness which
her founders crave most for her.

FOUNDERS' BOOK

In the Founders' Room at Oglethorpe there will be a
Book containing the name of every man, woman and
child who aided in the founding of the University, ar-
ranged 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

24 Oglethorpe University

the doing of this, the greatest deed that has been at-
tempted for our sons and daughters in this generation.
The Book is not yet complete, because the work is not
yet finished, and each month is adding many to this roll
of honor, whose names will thus be preserved in the life
and archives of Oglethorpe University forever.

STATE MEMORIAL BUILDINGS AND PROFESSORSHIPS

The contributions made by the Founders of the Uni-
versity residing out of the city of Atlanta are being seg-
regated and separately recorded. The Board of Direc-
tors has in mind the establishment of one or more me-
morial professorships or buildings by each Southern
State. Thus the local Synodical sentiment and loyalty
will be worked into the life of Oglethorpe and each of
her students will feel that a part of his own common-
wealth is set down on her campus.

ROLL OF HONOR

The following churches have already taken part in
the founding of Oglethorpe University and the work
of adding the other churches of the denomination will
continue steadily until every Presbyterian Church in the
South has had a hand in the founding of Oglethorpe
University:

THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University, real-
izing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty
whose spiritual and intellectual equipment should be
capable of satisfying the tremendous demand of a really
great institution of learning, has spared no efforts or
pains in securing a body of men who would not only
possess that first requisite of a teacher, a great soul,
but should also have those two other requisites of almost
equal importance: power of imparting their ideals and
knowledge, and intellectual acquirements adequate for
their department. The most important element in edu-
cation is the creation in the student of an intense yearn-
ing for and delight in the Good, the True and the Beau-
tiful, and the first essential for the creation of such a
spirit is the example set before him by the Faculty. We
are able at this time to announce the names of some of
the members of the staff, more than sufficient for care-
ful and adequate work during the first years of instruc-
tion. The names are given in the order of their election :

STUDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT AND
ACTIVITIES

Following the best standards of our most successful
American colleges and universities, Oglethorpe is dis-
ciplined as largely as is practicable by her own students.
Herewith we give in full the names of the officers of the
various self-government organizations. A year's expe-
rience at the University has demonstrated the excellence
of this method of self-control, and the efficient way in
which all cases brought before the Students' Council and
the Dormitory Court have been handled has once more
demonstrated the thorough-going excellence of the plan.
It is a special purpose of this system to develop the high-
est ideals of personal conduct among the students, and
this is done on the basis of their personal responsibility
to their fellow students, to the Faculty, and to the tradi-
tions of the University.

IMMEDIATE PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of Oglethorpe University is to offer
courses of study leading to the higher academic and pro-
fessional degrees, under a Christian environment, and
thus to train young men who wish to become specialists
in professional and business life and teachers in our
High Schools and Colleges, and to supply the growing

demand for specially equipped men in every depart-
ment of human activity. The instruction began in Sep-
tember, 1916, with the Freshman Class of the Collegiate
Department; the Sophomore Class will be added in
1917, and the Junior and Senior Classes in 1918, and
1919, respectively. Certain post-graduate courses also,
leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees, were of-
fered in 1916.

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

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

The first unit of the building plan is the equivalent in
capacity of four buildings, each 50 by 60 feet, three
stories high. Of these, two are dormitories, one, lecture
halls, laboratories and offices and the fourth, dining hall
and refectory. There is also a central heating plant in
addition.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science, Commerce, Literature
and Journalism

The requirement for entrance to the Academic Schools
of Oglethorpe University is fifteen units, from a school
of good standing. Students offering twelve units may-
be admitted on condition. In either case the candidate
must present three units in English and two in Mathe-
matics. In the Schools of Liberal Arts, Science and Lit-
erature three units in Latin must also be offered. For
removal of conditions see page 41.

A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a
secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter
of a full year's work.

The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully ac-
quainted with the educational situation in the South and
in making their entrance requirements somewhat above
rather than below the standard, they have not lost sight
of the frequent insufficiencies of preparation of prospec-
tive students brought about by inadequate High School
facilities. It is the purpose of the University to make its
degrees represent high attainment, but to furnish such
facilities for students that this attainment will be fairly
simple and easy. It is not our purpose by the adoption
of specially high entrance requirements to drive away
any students from our Institution. Adequate arrange-
ments will be made for aiding any student who may be
behind in his preparation in so far as such aid is consis-
tent with the best ideals of college work.

blank for High School Certificate may be obtained by
writing to the Registrar.

Students who wish credit for college work done else-
where must file with the Registrar a certificate from the
institution in which the work was done. The Institution
must be one that is recognized by the Faculty of Ogle-
thorpe University, and the work must be satisfactory to
the Professor of that department.

REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS

1. Entrance Conditions. Students admitted to
partial standing in the Freshman Class may remove their
entrance conditions by passing entrance examinations in
the additional subjects necessary, provided such exam-
inations are passed within two years after admission to
the University.

2. Entrance conditions must be removed before the
opening of the third college year. No student will be
permitted to register for any subject of his third year
until his entrance conditions are removed.

3. Students entering from other colleges will not be
admitted to advanced standing in any class until all en-
trance conditions have been removed.

4. College Conditions A student whose term
grade in any subject lies between 70 and 60 per cent
shall have two re-examinations and no more. These

Oglethorpe University 41

examinations for Fall and Winter Term conditions, will
be set at the end of the succeeding term, and at the be-
ginning of the next session.

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

5. A student whose term grade in any subject lies
between 59 and 40 per cent shall have one re-examina-
tion and no more at the beginning of the next session.

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

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

8. The summer vacation should be devoted to work
preparatory to condition examinations, as deficient stu-
dents will not be permitted to carry extra work during
term time.

9. Conditioned students absent from the regular
condition examination must present an excuse satisfac-
tory to the professor in charge of the subject or receive
a zero for the examination. When an excuse has been
accepted a special examination will be held for which
a fee of two dollars will be charged, payable to the
Registrar.

42 Oglethorpe University

10. Any student having eight term conditions at the
beginning of the session will be required to take trie
class over in all subjects.

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

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

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR DEGREES

In the session of 1917-18 Oglethorpe University will
offer courses in the Freshman and Sophomore Classes of
four schools leading to the customary Academic de-
grees. The degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) will be
conferred upon those students satisfactorily completing
a four years' course as outlined below, based largely on
the study of "the Humanities". The degree of Bachelor
of Science (B. S.) will be conferred upon those students
who satisfactorily complete a four years' course largely
in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor of Litera-
ture (B. Litt.) will be given to those students who com-
plete a course including special work in languages, liter-
ature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Com-
merce (B. Com.) will be conferred upon those students
who satisfactorily complete a full four years' course in
studies relating particularly to business administration
and industrial life.

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

In general, it may be suggested that those students
preparing to enter such professions as the Ministry or
Law, will choose the B. A. course; those looking for-
ward to Medicine, Dentistry and other Scientific work,
the B. S. course; those expecting to enter the literary
and journalistic field, the B. Litt. course, and those who
intend to spend their lives in the business world the B.
Com. course.

44

Oglethorpe University

While each of these courses is so shaped as to influ-
ence the student towards a specific end, colored largely
by the type of studies they include, yet each course will
be found to include such subjects of general culture as
are necessary to the education of a life as distinguished
from a living.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University to develop
a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering courses
in all departments leading to the Doctor's degree in
Science and Philosophy. In supplying this need, which
has for a long while been acutely felt in the South, the
management of the University will be content with only
the very highest grade of work and facilities,

Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees
in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere
in this catalogue under the appropriate department
heading. These degrees are based on that of Bachelor
of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other ap-
proved institution. In general, it may be said that the
degree of Master of Arts will be given for one year of
additional study in graduate subjects more or less re-
lated to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philos-
ophy requires at least three years of graduate work.
But neither degree is guaranteed at the end of a fixed
period of time. A certain amount of work must be ac-
complished, and the quality of it must be such as to sat-
isfy the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty.
It is required that the candidate for Ph. D. demonstrate
by examination not later than the end of his first year
his ability to read German and French, and the student
must have completed the under-graduate work in the
subject to which he wishes to give his chief attention.

In this connection, the prospective student will be in-
terested in learning that all Professors chosen as the

52 Oglethorpe University

heads of departments in Oglethorpe University must
have obtained the highest academic degree offered in
that department. This fact is mentioned in order to in-
dicate the earnest determination of the Board of Direc-
tors of the University that her Faculty shall include only
men of the highest intellectual attainment as well as men
of great teaching power and strong personal character.
The President of the University will be pleased to
answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be offered
during 1917-18.

PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS

The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educa-
tional world looks toward the union of academic with
professional education. The broadening effect of asso-
ciation of professional students with other classmen on
the university campus, as well as the valuable opportu-
nity for contact with academic work, renders this con-
nection highly desirable. It is the purpose of the Uni-
versity to enter the field of professional education as
quickly as funds are secured to enable us to do so ade-
quately. Schools of Engineering, Architecture, Dentis-
try, Law and Medicine will be established as opportunity
offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot be ex-
ecuted with the same quality of matter and form that is
offered in the best institutions of our country.

SPECIAL COURSES
Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law
or Engineering and who do not desire to study for an
Academic degree are allowed to take such courses as

Oglethorpe University 53

will lead to their professional work. Such students
must present at least twelve units for entrance; of these
four and one-half are required: English (3) and Mathe-
matics (l^/o). The following courses are suggested:

Pre-Medical : First Year Physics (1), Chemistry
(1), German (1), English (1) (elective); Bible
(1) (elective).

Second Year Chemistry (2), Biology (1), Ger-
man (2), French (1), English (2) (elective);
Bible (2) (elective).

Pre-Legal: First Year English (1), Bible (1), His-
tory (1), Latin (1), Mathematics (1).
Second Year English (2), History (2), Modern
Language (1), Bible (2), and one elective.

Pre-Engineering: First Year Mathematics (1),
Physics (1), Chemistry (1), English (1) (elec-
tive); Bible (1) (elective).

Second Year Mathematics (2), Physics (2),
Modern Language (1), Bible (2) (elective).

PRE-PROFESSIONAL WORK

The attention of the prospective student should, how-
ever, be clearly called to the fact that each year finds it
more necessary for the professional man to have a thor-
ough foundation for his professional studies, and the
professional schools are becoming more strict in their
requirements for entrance. Particularly is this the case
in Medicine, where the best medical colleges require a
diploma from a standard college for entrance. We

54 Oglethorpe University

would strongly advise our students to study the sugges-
tions made on page 43 and have their college diploma
safely in hand before they enter their professional
studies.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1917-18

The policy of the Board of Directors of the Univer-
sity has been and will be to "hasten slowly" in the work
of organization of the Institution. They, therefore, be-
gan the first year's work with one class, the Freshman.
During 1917-18 courses will be provided for the Fresh-
man and Sophomore Classes.

The courses outlined herewith, are stated, therefore,
fully for the Freshman and Sophomore years and in ab-
breviated form for the years to follow except in those
departments for which full Professors have been chosen
and in which the Institution is ready to offer graduate
as well as under-graduate courses.

The courses offered for the year 1917-18 are as fol-
lows:

BIBLICAL AND RELIGIOUS LITERATURE
The course in English Bible extends over two years;
it is required for B. A., B. S., B. Litt. and B. Com. de-
grees, and must be pursued by every under-graduate
student.

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

Oglethorpe University 55

book, and such other matters as are required for the
proper understanding of the work. It will be treated
not from a sectarian point of view, nor as mere history
or literature. The aim will be to impart such a knowl-
edge of the subject as every intelligent man should pos-
sess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and
profit.

The effort will be made to give the students the proper
defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for
their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the
objections of unbelievers.

Text-Books. The English Bible (with references)
will be the chief text-book. Such other books as are
needed will be indicated from time to time.

This course will be followed in the Junior and Senior
years by Psychology, Moral Philosophy, Theism, Ethics,
and Evidences of Christianity.

ENGLISH

The Department of English will strive to create a love
for the best in literature and arouse a keen interest in
the student's own language.

The traditions of Oglethorpe University, which num-
bers among her alumni, Sidney Lanier, one of the "Nine
immortal Muses of America", render it a necessary as
well as a delightful task, to give full emphasis to this
department.

The Freshman year will be devoted to a careful study
of the best forms of English Literature, prose and
poetry, with frequent exercises in the art of composition.

56 Oglethorpe University

The first half of the year will include the study of
American authors and best prose forms, and the latter
half will be devoted to typical and representative verse.
In this connection the life and works of Sidney Lanier
will be especially studied as an example of an illustrious
national writer, born and educated in the South. Three
times a week throughout the year. Required for B. A.,
B. S., B. Litt. and B. Com. courses.

In the Sophomore year courses will be offered cover-
ing a critical study of the earlier epochs of English Lit-
erature and a number of masterpieces. Students of this
class pursuing work in the School of Commerce, will be
given a course in Business English, in which every phase
of modern business requirements will be covered. Es-
sentials, too often overlooked entirely, will be stressed.
Three times a week throughout the year. Required for
B. Com. course.

The Junior year will continue in historical sequence,
and the Senior year will be concerned largely with
American writers of prose and poetry.

The courses will include frequent special lectures by
visiting literati as well as by the Professor in charge.

GREEK

Three years of Greek will be offered in the under-
graduate classes, together with a preparatory class for
those who are unprepared for Greek I.

Preparatory Greek. This class is designed not
merely for those who have no knowledge of the

Oglethorpe University 57

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. Benner and Smyth's Beginner's
Greek Book, Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin
and White). Three times a week throughout
the year. Not counted for a degree.

1. The preparation for entrance into this class
is not so much a matter of time as of thoroughness.
The student is expected to know the ordinary Attic
inflections and syntax, to have read about one book
of the Anabasis, and to have had considerable prac-
tice in translating English into Greek. The use of
accents is required.

A part of the work of this class consists of the
minute study of the verbs, their principal parts,
synopsis of tenses, and the inflection of certain
portions.

Written translations of English into Greek are
required once a week. On the other days a short
oral exercise of this kind forms a part of the les-
son; so that in each recitation some practice is had
in translating English into Greek.

Text-Books. Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin
and White), Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias,
Goodwin's Greek Grammar, Pearson's Greek
Prose Composition, Myers's Eastern Na-

58 Oglethorpe University

tions and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek
Lexicon (unabridged). Three times a week
throughout the year. Elective.

2. In the first term Demosthenes will be read;
in the second, Herodotus; in the third, Homer.
The subject of Phonetics is presented and illus-
trated by chart and model of the larynx showing
the position of the vocal organs.

Text-Books. Demosthenes On the Crown
(Humphreys), Herodotus (Smith and Laird),
Homer's Odyssey (Perrin and Seymour), De-
mosthenes and Herodotus (Ancient Classics
for English Readers), Church's Stories from
Homer, Fowler's Greek Literature. Three
times a week throughout the year. Elective.

3. The time of this class will be divided be-
tween prose and poetry. After the study of Thucy-
dides and Plato, the reading of Sophocles will be
taken up. The life of the ancient Greeks will also
be considered.

Text-Books. Thucydides (Morris), Plato (For-
man), Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus (Earle),
Thucydides and Plato (Ancient Classics for
English Readers), Church's Stories from the
Greek Tragedians, Gulick's Life of the An-
cient Greeks. Three times a week throughout
the year. Elective.

Graduate Courses. A brief statement of the work
proposed may be given here. Fuller details will

Oglethorpe University 59

be announced later. Those who are thinking of
taking the graduate courses are advised to write
to the President or to the Professor, that their pre-
liminary studies may be so guided as to fit them
for the work. The requirements' for entrance into
these courses are given elsewhere in this catalogue,
under the head of Graduate School.

The work of this department may be considered under
three heads, each running through three years:

I. Literary. The aim will be to read a large
amount of Greek. The first year will be devoted
to Homer, the second to the Attic period, the third
to the later literature.

II. Scientific. Certain philological subjects will be

pursued, such as the History of Classical Philol-
ogy, Textual Criticism, Inscriptions, Palaeography
(including the study of Papyri), Archaeology.

III. Practical. The student will be required to attend

one of the under-graduate classes, and from time
to time will conduct the recitation in the presence
of the Professor, in order that he may gain some
experience in teaching.

COURSE IN NEW TESTAMENT GREEK
Some book of the New Testament will be taken up
and studied systematically. There will be one meeting
a week, at a time to be determined later. The only book
needed will be a copy of the New Testament in Greek;
the best is Westcott and Hort's New Testament in Greek,
Students' Edition, with lexicon ($1.90).

60 Oglethorpe University

LATIN
1. For entrance into this class the student is ex-
pected to have read the usual amounts of Caesar,
Cicero and Vergil, as set forth under the head of
Entrance Units. He must also be able to translate
English into Latin with some facility. Livy, Cicero
de Senectute and Sallust's Catiline will be studied
in this year. A brief history of Rome will also be
included. Prose composition, both oral and writ-
ten, will be carried on throughout the year.

Text-Books. Livy XXI, XXII (Greenough and
Peck), Cicero de Senectute, Sallust's Catiline.
Allen and Greenough's Latin Grammar, His-
tory of Rome, Harpers' Latin Dictionary.
Three times a week throughout the year. Re-
quired for B. A. course.

2. The studies of this class will be in Cicero's
Letters, Horace and Plautus. A course in Latin
Literature will also be given. Three times a week
throughout the year. Elective.

3. This class will begin with Terence, and then
take up Tacitus and Juvenal. Ancient Roman life
will be considered in this part of the course. Three
times a week throughout the year. Elective.

Teachers' Course. A course of instruction will be
given for teachers in and near Atlanta. The aim will
be to suggest methods for beginners and for classes in
Cassar, Cicero and Vergil. Certain departments of the
grammar will be discussed, e. g., the Subjunctive Mood ;

Oglethorpe University 61

scanning will be illustrated, and attention given to topics
which have caused difficulty to teachers. Suggestions
will be made as to the best means of helping pupils to
acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of pro-
cedure and the subjects treated will depend somewhat
on the personnel of the class.

The work will be undertaken if as many as ten per-
sons offer themselves. This class will probably meet on
Saturdays.

Graduate Course for Special Students. Persons
who are teaching or otherwise occupied during the week
and who would like to do some graduate work in Latin
or Greek by coming on Saturdays, should communicate
with the Professor.

FRENCH

For the present a two years' course in French will be
offered.

1. This is a class for beginners, but the idea is to
advance as rapidly as possible to a reading knowledge
of the language. Careful attention will be given from
the first to pronunciation.

Text-Books. Fraser and Squair's French Grammar;
a French Reader, to be followed by some simple text.
Three times a week throughout the year. Elective. Not
counted for a degree unless followed by French 2.

2. The aim of this class will be to read more rap-
idly both prose and poetry. French History and Litera-
ture will also be studied. Three times a week through-
out the year. Elective.

62 Oglethorpe University

SPANISH

Developing a reading knowledge of the language and
also practice in composing business letters and in con-
versation.

First Year. Two hours a week. De Vitis' Spanish
Grammar. Harrison's Spanish Commercial Correspond-
ence.

will be a special and more exhaustive study of one or
more mathematical subjects, as History of Mathematics,
Astronomy, Theory of Equations, Modern Geometry or
others.

Oglethorpe University 63

Work leading to the degree of M. A. is offered and
anyone interested may receive details on application.

Stacy-Capers Telescope By the generosity of
Thomas Stacy Capers the well-known telescope of Dr.
James Stacy has become the property of the University.
It is a six-inch refracting instrument with a focal length
of ninety inches. It was formerly the property of the
uncle of the donor who was an alumnus of the Old
Oglethorpe and is named in honor of them both.

The purpose of the work in this department is to give
a reasonably fluent ability in the speaking of German,
this to be followed by more critical study of Grammar.
Accordingly the first work will be largely conversational
and translation will be avoided. By means of easy
stories "Sprachgefuehl" will gradually be developed.
It is expected that a student will be able to speak the
language after two years of study.

SCIENCES

The purpose of the departments of Chemistry, Physics
and Biology may be briefly stated as follows :

66 Oglethorpe University

1. To offer thorough lecture and laboratory courses
of informational and disciplinary value as part of a gen-
eral college curriculum. No apology is necessary for
the belief that he only can claim to be truly educated
who has learned in some measure to observe accurately,
to reason logically from his observations, and to co-
ordinate hand and brain in all that he may do.

2. To offer progressive and sequential courses de-
signed to give a high degree of knowledge and technical
proficiency to the Scientific Student specializing in one
or more of these sciences.

3. To offer such courses in these sciences as are
commonly required for entrance into our best schools
of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and engineering.

4. To offer courses designed to meet the needs of
Prospective Teachers of these sciences in colleges and
secondary schools, giving them not only a thorough
training in the content of the subjects, but also in the
best methods of imparting it to others.

5. To offer to properly prepared Graduate Students
advanced courses and opportunities for research in one
or more of these sciences, leading to advanced Academic
degrees.

CHEMISTRY

1: (a). General Chemistry.

(b). Experimental Chemistry and Qualitative
Analysis.

Lectures, demonstrations and recitations, together
with selected exercises in the laboratory, designed not

Oglethorpe University 67

only to impart a knowledge of the principles of the
science, and of the more important facts in connection
with the metallic and non-metallic elements, but to con-
stitute an introduction to scientific methods of experi-
mentation, observation and reasoning.

During the first half of the year the lectures precede
the work of the laboratory, in which the student is ex-
pected to verify and illustrate many of the principles
and facts which have been discussed in the lecture room.

During the latter half of the year, while the lectures
are on the chemistry of the metals, the laboratory work
will be systematic qualitative analysis.

No previous study of chemistry is required for ad-
mission to this course, but the instruction is so arranged
that work of a somewhat advanced character is given to
those students who have spent considerable time upon
chemical work in secondary schools.

This course fulfills the chemistry requirements for
admission into medical colleges.

Three lectures and recitations, and four hours of lab-
oratory work per week through the year. Required of
Sophomores in B. A., B. S., B. Litt., B. Com. courses,
and of Pre-Medical students.

2. (a). Organic Chemistry.
(b). Quantitative Analysis.
(c). Practical Organic Chemistry.

The lectures, demonstrations, and recitations in or-
ganic chemistry continue through the year. In the lab-

68 Oglethorpe University

oratory, exercises which have been carefully chosen to
illustrate the principles of volumetric and gravimetric
analysis, are given during the first half of the year.
The remainder of the time is occupied with the prepara-
tion of typical organic compounds and their analysis
and identification.

Three lectures and recitations, and four hours of lab-
oratory work per week throughout the year. Required
of second year Pre-Medical students. Elective for all
others.

3. (a). Theoretical and Physical Chemistry.

(b) . Physical Chemical Measurements.

(c). Advanced Quantitative Analysis.

A study of the laws of chemical combination; the
properties of gases, liquids, solids; solutions; thermo-
chemistry; electro-chemistry; chemical dynamics and
statics.

The laboratory time will be divided between exercises
in physical chemical measurements, as for example,
vapor densities, molecular weights, degree of ionization,
electrical conductivities, transport numbers, reaction
velocities, etc., and exercises in quantitative analysis of
a more technical and advanced character than those
given in 2-b.

Two hours lecture, six hours laboratory practice per
week through the year. Elective.

Graduate Work. No student will be accepted for
graduate work who cannot satisfy the department as to

Oglethorpe University 69

his preparation in inorganic, organic and elementary
physical chemistry, and qualitative and quantitative
analysis. It is not thought advisable to outline at pres-
ent detailed courses for graduate students. Work will
be offered as needed in advanced organic, inorganic,
physical and historical chemistry, and in the laboratory
in special methods of analysis, as food and drug analy-
sis, water analysis, gas analysis, electro analysis, and
metallurgical analysis.

When the student is deemed prepared, he will be given
a problem for investigation, usually co-operating with
the instructor in his own researches. Prospective grad-
uate students should correspond with the department as
early as possible, giving a full account of their previous
preparation and of the character of work they wish to
pursue.

Equipment. The facilities for demonstration in the
lecture room and for work in the laboratory are quite
adequate for present needs, and will be added to con-
tinually. The laboratory is equipped with all necessary
working desks, hoods, hot plates, drying ovens, and
water stills, and gas, water, electric current, blast and
vacuum are conveniently at hand.

The library contains standard books of reference and
some technical journals, and in addition, the facilities
of the Atlanta libraries are at the disposal of the pupils.

PHYSICS
1. General Physics. Lectures, demonstrations,
recitations, and laboratory exercises on the mechanics

70 Oglethorpe University

of solids and fluids, molecular mechanics, the phenom-
ena and laws of sound, heat, light, electricity and mag-
netism.

The laboratory work is almost exclusively quantita-
tive, designed to impart training in the manipulation of
instruments employed in physical investigation, and to
give practice in properly recording, interpreting, and
reducing experimental data.

This course fulfills the requirements of the Pre-Med-
ical year.

Three lectures and recitations, four hours of labora-
tory work per week through the year. Required of
Freshmen in B. A., B. S., B. Litt. courses, Sophomores
in B. Com. course, and of first year Pre-Medical stu-
dents.

2. Theoretical Physics: Mechanics, Heat, Light,
Electricity, Magnetism. Essentially the same ground is
covered as in this part of Course 1, but the subject is
presented in a more detailed way both experimentally
and mathematically.

The laboratory work is of a more rigidly accurate
character and particular attention is directed to the rec-
ognition, elimination and estimation of errors.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours of laboratory
work per week through the year. Elective.

Graduate Work. The statements made above in re-
gard to graduate work in chemistry apply in the main
to physics. Special work of an advanced character will

Oglethorpe University 71

be given to those who may be prepared in physics and
in mathematics according to their need or desires and
the facilities of the Institution.

Equipment. It will be the aim to continually pro-
vide the pupil with apparatus of the highest grade and
to enlarge the equipment as may be necessary.

BIOLOGY

1. General Biology. The purpose of the course
is to acquaint the general student with the principles of
biology through selected practical studies of living
things. A survey is made of the morphology and phy-
siology, classification and life history of selected types,
designed to give the student who goes no further with
the subject a comprehensive view of the animal and
vegetable kingdoms, while for the student who will con-
tinue biological study, it is intended to afford a sub-
stantial basis for more extensive and intensive special
work.

The laboratory work is of especial significance. Much
emphasis is placed on the accuracy with which the stu-
dent's note book depicts what he has seen through his
microscope, and in the types dissected.

This course fulfills the requirements of the Pre-Med-
ical year.

Three lectures and recitations, four hours laboratory
work per week through the year. Required of Sopho-
mores in B. S. course and of second year Pre-Medical
students. Elective for all others.

72 Oglethorpe University

2. Human Anatomy and Physiology. While nec-
essarily this course is not as exhaustive as when given in
the best schools of medicine, it supplies a splendid foun-
dation for the latter. The origin and development of
the various structures of the human body, and their
functions, are in all cases presented in relation to those
of lower forms of animal life.

The laboratory work of the course is mostly mam-
malian anatomy, based upon a study of the cat, but dis-
sections are made of other animals as well.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours laboratory
work per week through the year. Elective.

3. Bacteriology. A study of bacterial life and
development. Non-pathologic bacteria are mostly stu-
died.

The laboratory work is designed to impart the impor-
tant points of bacteriological technique, as cleansing and
sterilization of apparatus, preparation of culture media,
methods of culture and staining.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours laboratory
work per week through the year.

Graduate Work. No announcement of graduate
work will be made at present.

Equipment. The equipment of the laboratory con-
sists of the usual dissecting tables, microscopes, micro-
tomes, ovens and sterilizers, etc., and collections of
slides and other illustrative material.

SCHOOL OF COMMERCE

Commerce
The School of Commerce with its allied departments
has as its central idea the presenting of a course of
study designed to give an adequate and thorough prepa-
ration for a business career.

It should not be confounded with the well known
"Business College," as the Manual Training School is
often confounded with the Engineering College of a
University.

A School of Commerce does not turn out stenograph-
ers, typists and book-keepers; it produces accountants,
managers and executives.

Oglethorpe University 79

THE OGLETHORPE IDEA

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

Located in the commercial and educational capital of
the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most elegant
street of that city, on a most beautiful campus of over
one hundred and thirty acres of woodland and meadow,
including an eighty-two acre lake which belongs to our
students for swimming, boating and fishing, the physical
advantages offered by Oglethorpe University are unsur-
passed 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 heavy
green slate. All of them will be as fire-proof as human
skill can make them and as commodious and comforta-
ble as our architects* can plan them. They will be like
the first building already erected, which is believed to
be the safest, most beautiful and most efficient college or
university building in the Southeast.

THE OGLETHORPE SITE ATLANTA

The attractions of the City of Atlanta as an educa-
tional center are fast making it one of the great intellec-
tual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft, South-

*Messrs. Morgan and Dillon and W. T. Downing of Atlanta.

New York.

80 Oglethorpe University

ern mountain climate, convenient of access to the entire
nation over its many lines of railway, known everywhere
as the center of Southern activities, she draws to herself
as to a magnet the great minds of the nation and the
world. Hither come lecturers, musicians, statesmen,
evangelists, editors, teachers and officials of the United
States. An intellectual atmosphere created by such con-
ditions and the frequent opportunity of contact with
these leaders in all branches of human activity offered
frequently to our students give Oglethorpe University an
advantage of position and of opportunity which she will
cultivate to the uttermost. Facilities for hearing and
meeting the great musicians and authors and public
speakers and the leaders in all spheres of intellectual
activity will be offered our students. The tremendous
influence of such contact upon the young lives committed
to us will be felt in increased ambition and redoubled
determination to perform, themselves, their duty to their
race and their God.

THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE

It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic tastes
and home habits of many young men are ruined at col-
lege by the cheap and unattractive furnishings of their
rooms and the ugly, forbidding architecture of the build-
ings, whose walls often deface their campus. The archi-
tecture 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, dig-

Oglethorpe University 81

nity, durability, reverence and beauty may be expressed
in the face of a building as surely as in that of a man
and are so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus.

Not less important are the personal surroundings of
the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped apart-
ments have exactly the same influence on the soul of a
boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped human compan-
ions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe are
handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are en-
titled to the information and inspiration such surround-
ings offer, and the sons of the rich will deteriorate with-
out 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 defective.

This is the special work of the Silent Faculty at Ogle-
thorpe.

THE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR FIRST

YEARS

Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal
contact and instruction of the heads of departments will
note with interest that our first few years will offer ex-
ceptional opportunities of that nature. It is well known
that in all our large institutions only the upper classmen
come in any close contact with the full Professors, who
as heads of departments occupy their time in other mat-
ters than educating Freshmen.

We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we have,
and they will be taught by men who have taught in or

82 Oglethorpe University

had offered them, chairs in the greatest universities of
America.

While this will be a permanent policy at Oglethorpe,
yet the fact that we shall open in the Fall of 1917 with
only two classes, the Freshman and Sophomore, offers a
perfect opportunity for its exemplification, which dis-
cerning students and parents will not fail to note.

UNIVERSITY EXPENSES
BOARD AND ROOM RENT

The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are
the safest and most comfortable of cognate institutions
in the South. All the buildings of the University
will be like the first one that is now finished, which is
believed to be absolutely fireproof, being constructed of
steel, concrete and granite with partitions of brick and
hollow tile.

The Boarding Department of the Institution is con-
ducted at cost to the student. Thoroughly first-class ser-
vice will be given. The skimmed milk diet which pro-
duces skimmed milk thinking will be studiously avoided.
Price of board is included in the room rent.

The prices named below are based upon two grades of
rooms. The first of these comprises the entire second
floor of the first building, which is fifty (50) feet wide
and one hundred and eighty (180) feet long, and is com-
posed of suites of rooms, each suite including a bed
room, bath and study. The price charged for the suite
includes first-class board, steam heat, electric lights,
water and janitor's service and all rooms are furnished
adequately and substantially. Every room in the dor-
mitory contains ample closet space. The suites are
large, airy, safe and comfortable and are roomy enough
for the use of from one to four young men. The prices

are as follows :

Second Floor

so collected will be transferred to the treasuries of the
various student organizations and will entitle the stu-
dent to a membership pass to all games of the Athletic
Association in Atlanta or on the home field, one year's
subscription to the Oglethorpe Times, and a full mem-
bership card to the Student Senate.

88 Oglethorpe University

TOTAL COST FOR THE YEAR

It will be observed that the total cost for the entire
year, including tuition and all college fees, board and
room rent, heat, light and janitor service ranges from
$312.50 per year upward according to the rooming ac-
commodations desired.

STUDENT HELP

It is the intention of the authorities of the University
to see that a way is provided as far as possible for the
assistance of any student who may be in pecuniary need
and yet desirous of prosecuting his studies at Ogle-
thorpe. A special Faculty Committee will co-operate
with students to that end.

As a general rule it is best for the student that he
should be able to devote all of his time to his academic
duties, but where circumstances require it many stu-
dents may undertake various tasks, such as table-wait-
ing, and other dormitory duties, payment for which
materially aids them in meeting their expenses.

For further information address the President, Ogle-
thorpe University, Ga.

SPECIAL LOAN FUND

By the generosity of a good friend who does not wish
his name mentioned, the University is able to lend a
limited sum each year to deserving students who would
otherwise be unable to prosecute their studies at Ogle-
thorpe. Further details upon application.

ATHLETICS SILVER LAKE
The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the de-
velopment of the physical life of our students as a mat-

Oglethorpe University 89

ter of large importance. Physical and hygienic welfare
and instruction will be a part of the curriculum of the
Institution. A modern gymnasium, adequately equipped
is included in plans for one of the next buildings to be
constructed. Special attention is at present being given
to outdoor athletics. Adequate provision is being made
for foot-ball and base-ball grounds, tennis courts, etc.

In addition to these sports common to all well
equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University
is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering
eighty acres located conveniently to the university cam-
pus, with a part of its shore set aside for a university
boat house. This will enable the Institution to add a
crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake is admirably
suited for boating, rowing, swimming and fishing.

A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the Univer-
sity toward inter-collegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe Uni-
versity is acquitting herself well in that sphere of her
educational life.

Regular instruction, looking to symmetrical develop-
ment of the entire man will be given in the Athletic De-
partment of the University, under competent medical
guidance.

COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERSHIPS

By the kindness of Mr. J. W. Leroux, two prizes cov-
ering the fees necessary to the general membership of
the Capital City Country Club, which is located near the
university campus, have been offered to the students of
Oglethorpe. These memberships were won last year by
Messrs. W. R. Carlisle and W. States Jacobs, Jr.

COLLEGE CO-OP.

One of the interesting features of university life at
Oglethorpe is the University Store, managed for the ben-
efit of the students themselves, under the superintend-
ence of the Faculty. Professor E. C. Gruen has active
charge of this department, which is, in a sense, one of
the laboratories of the School of Commerce.

A Bank is operated in connection with it, and all stu-
dents are encouraged to keep their deposits therein, pay-
ing their bills of all sorts by check, thus giving them a
still further introduction into the actual practice of hand-
ling accounts in a business-like way.

In the store are kept all the necessary college acces-
sories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made most
conveniently, as full lines of goods answering the va-
rious college requirements are constantly kept on hand.
Dividends on purchases made are delivered at the close
of the Academic year.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE

The ability of a college or university to develop wor-
thy 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 that she has been through; all of labor and
strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments have
been bought out with money they inherit that; if with
blood they inherit that. Every storm through which she
has passed strengthens them for their own conflicts in
the days that are to come.

Oglethorpe University 91

Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and
prayer. God alone built her, touching the hearts of
multitudes of His children at the voice of her call.
Alone of all the prominent ante-bellum universities she
died for her ideals and alone of all the universities of
America God has raised her 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.

SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EXERCISES VESPER SERVICES
Regular chapel exercises, which the students are re-
quired to attend, are conducted by each of the members
of the Faculty in turn, at 8:45 o'clock each morning.
The student life at Oglethorpe is also blessed by the ac-
tivities of the Y. M. C. A., and frequent sermons and
addresses by visiting pastors and evangelists.

Also the vesper services held each Sabbath evening
at a convenient hour form an important feature of the
religious life of the University. Able and consecrated
men and pastors of Atlanta or visitors to die city speak
to the students of the University successively during the
entire year. Attendance upon these services is purely
voluntary. They offer unusual opportunities not only
for religious instruction, but for the students to meet
and know the leaders in religious life and thought of
the entire Southeast.

During the past year the following well-known men
spoke to the students of the University on the dates
specified :

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS

Examinations will be held three times each year, and
reports of the students' standing will be issued at the
close of each term.

LIBRARY

By the generosity of many friends, so great as to be
almost unparalleled, the University received during the
first year of its life approximately five thousand volumes
for the library. These consist of standard works in Lit-
erature, History and Science, with many valuable refer-
ence works in special departments. The Private Libraries
of Dr. Caldwell in Science, and of Dr. Nicolassen in the
Classics, are both available for the use of 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 1917-18 approximately eight
hours per day. The Public Library of Atlanta is also
available for the use of our students.

DIRECTIONS TO NEW STUDENTS

Students coming to Oglethorpe University from a dis-
tance should remember that Oglethorpe University has
its own station on the main line of the Southern Railway
between Atlanta and Washington. Tickets may be pur-
chased 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 check their baggage to the University station,
or may have it delivered at a special rate of $1.00 per

94 Oglethorpe University

trunk by the Atlanta Baggage & Cab Company. In using
the latter method mention should always be made of the
special students' rate at the time the order is given.

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 Oglethorpe Uni-
versity, Georgia.

WOMEN'S BOARD

One of the most remarkable gatherings, even in this
city of remarkable gatherings, was the assembling of
approximately two hundred of the representative women
of the city of Atlanta at the home of Mrs. Thornwell
Jacobs, Saturday afternoon, November 25, 1916, to or-
ganize a Women'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 guid-
ance by the proper authorities of the Institution. Al-
ready more than two hundred of the finest workers 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

Oglethorpe University 95

she feels best able to serve. These committees cover the
various departments of the University, and among them
are: Ways and Means, Finance, Grounds, Press, Enter-
tainment, Hospital, Music, Library and Art, Refresh-
ments, Transportation, and such other committees as it
may seem wise to the Board from time to time to ap-
point.

The authorities of the University welcome the forma-
tion of this organization with the greatest joy. The
mere fact that they have promised a devoted allegiance
to the enterprise alone has its own genuine value, but
those who know the women of Atlanta, with their mar-
velous capacity for earnest and consecrated work di-
rected by a swift and accurate intelligence, will realize
best what must be the results of the efficient aid which
they are giving to the Institution.

Officers and Chairmen of the various committees have
been unanimously chosen as follows:

Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, President; Mrs. John K. Ott-
ley, First Vice-President; Mrs. J. M. High, Second Vice-
President; Mrs. James R. Gray, Third Vice-President;
Mrs. Geo. W. Parrott, Fourth Vice-President; Mrs.
Frank Inman, Fifth Vice-President; Mrs. A. A. Little,
Secretary; Mrs. E. D. Crane, Treasurer; Mr. Joel Hun-
ter, Auditor; Mrs. John K. Ottley, Chairman of Execu-
tive Board.

Mrs. Archibald Davis, Chairman Ways and Means;
Mrs. Berta Swift, Finance; Mrs. Cobb Caldwell,
Grounds; Mrs. Stuart Witham, Press; Mrs. Clem Har-
ris, Entertainment; Mrs. Arnold Broyles, First Vice-
