(SItj* Prayer of (JDgleitjorp? Hmtttrattg Father of Wisdom, Master of the Schools of Men, of Thine all-knowledge grant me this my prayer: that I may be wise in Thee. Sink Thou my Foundations down deep into Thy bosom until they rest upon the vast rock of thy counsel. Lift Thou my walls into the clear empyrean of Thy Truth. Cover me with the wings that shadow from all harm. lay my threshold in honor and my lintels in love. set thou my floors in the cement of unbreaking friendship and may my windows be transparent with honesty. Lead Thou unto me, Lord God, those whom Thou hast appointed to be my children, and when they shall come who would learn of me the wlsdom 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 hlm 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 THAT EVER COME TO MY HALLS FOR GUIDANCE BE SENT ASTRAY. LET THE BLUE ASHLARS OF MY BREAST THRILL TO THE HAPPY SONGS OF THE TRUE-' HEARTED AND MAY THE VERY EARTH OF MY CAMPUS SHOUT FOR JOY AS IT FEELS THE TREAD OF THOSE WHO MARCH FOR GOD. ALL THIS I PRAY OF THEE; AND YET THIS, MORE: THAT THERE MAY BE NO STAIN UPON MY STONES, FOREVER.

The University is owned and controlled by a Board of Direc- tors. This General Board of Directors and Founders meets at least once each year, at commencement time, on the uni- versity grounds near Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all matters of large importance in the University, and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elect- ed by them and from their number, and which will look after the details of management cf the Institution between the meetings of the Board of Founders. Each member of the Board represents a gift of one thousand dollars or more to the University. Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the man- agement of an institution. It is already in operation and its perfect practibility is largely responsible for the marvel- ous success of the University. Prospective students will not fail to note the quality of these men, representing the thousands of men and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consummated this fine purpose. As representatives and governors of the In- stitution they will take pleasure in giving any enquirers information as to the aims and progress of the University. *The list given on the following pages is corrected up to March 1, 1921.

After a while the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested the building of a similar institution under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began with the spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual school, and this, in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institu- tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first denomina- tional college or university between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institu- tions which were born after her in this vast empire. The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton." In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the names of men who are world-famous. Among these were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of old Oglethorpe that after four years of instruction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the Spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars. Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, Oglethorpe University 19 remarked to a friend that the greatest moral 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, moderators of the Gen- eral 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 endownment was in Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital ,were later burned. An effort was made to revive the institution in the 70's and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils of recon- struction days and financial disaster made the adventure im- possible and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed for the second time. Only nine years have passed since the campaign to refound 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 a million dollars as the result of unusual and self-sacrificing liberality en the part of over five thousand 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 Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the Fall of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife she rose to breathe the airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite, trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1916, when her first class gathered on her beautiful campus on Peach- tree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institu- 20 Oglethorpe University tion in the country has been formed. The work of raising funds and new construction goes steadily on. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disaster that darken- ed the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influ- ences 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 nine years ago with a contribu- tion of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined to see that their city had a university, as well as a band of far-see- ing educational leaders, who wished to erect a certain high type of institution in this splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise; of how the story has been told in cities, towns and country all over the South from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaign staged in this city just eight years ago; all this is well known. Since that time the same wonderful record has been maintained. There are now something like five thousand men, women and children all of whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to $75,000.00. They are the Founders of the University; they belong to the great Founders Club which is carrying the movement forward so splendidly. HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY An idea of the quality of construction and design of the institution may be gained from the accompanying illustra- tions. (See Frontispiece.) It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist Oglethorpe University 21 spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful uni- versities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy variegated slates. The construction is of steel, concrete ,brick and hollow tile. The first building is the one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's-eye view. The new building, given by Mr. and Mrs. Lupton, our be- loved benefactors, is the one with the tower just opposite 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 $2,000,000. The building plan will be followed out in its entirety. HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS But it is not so much the magniiicient exterior of the in- stitution about which the men who are founding Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of their university. To that end they have resolved to form a faculty and adopt a curriculum that will be of the highest possible quality, their thought being excellence in every de- partment. 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, arranged alphabeti- cally, by states. That Book will be accessible to every stu- dent 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 22 Oglethorpe University daughters in this generation. The Book is not yet complete, because the work is not yet finished, and each month is add- ing many to this role 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 University residing out of the city of Atlanta are being segregated and separately recorded. The Board of Directors has in mind the establishment of one or more memorial professorships or buildings by each Southern State. Thus the local patriotic sentiment and loyalty will be worked into the life of Ogle- thorpe and each of her students will feel that a part of his own commonwealth is set down on her campus. CLOCK AND CHIMES In the tower of the new building given by Mr. and Mrs- J. T. Lupton, will be installed a clock and chimes, the gift of Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. There will be two dials to the clock, and they will be illuminated at night. It is interesting to note that this will be the only tower clock in Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus in Georgia. ROLL OF HONOR The following churches and communities have already taken part in the founding of Oglethorpe University and the work of adding the others will continue steadily until every community in the South has had a hand in this fas- cinating enterprise: Oglethorpe University 23 LIST OF CITIES AND TOWNS SUBSCRIBING $1,000 OR MORE Atlanta, Ga $364,258.01 Chattanooga, Tenn., First Ch $61,270.00 Central Ch. _ _ _ 2,550.00-63,820.00 Greensboro, N.

Oglethorpe University 27 THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University, realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty whose spiritual and intellectual equipment should be capable of satisfying the tremendous demand of a really great institu- tion of learning, has spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men who would not only possess that first requisite of a teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two other requisites of almost equal importance: power of im- parting their ideals and knowledge, and intellectual acquire- ments adequate for their department. The most important dement in education is the creation in the student of an in- tense yearning for and delight in the Good, the True and the Beautiful, and the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is the example set before him by the Faculty. The Jniversity now has a corps of teachers unsurpassed in any nstitution of its age and size. The names are given in the )rder of their election. THORNWELL JACOBS \..

The instruction began in September, 1916, with the Freshman Class of the Collegiate Department; the Sophomore Class was added in 1917; the Junior Class in 1918, and the Senior Class in 1919. Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President, in order that they may be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are being provided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for ob- servation, 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 re- fectory. There is also a central heating plant in addition. A new building has been recently erected, to be used as a dormitory. The library has been transferred to this build - ; ng; and indoor athletics are carried on here. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton has made possible, also, the immediate erection of another building, which will contain the Library, President's Office, Assembly Hall, Lecture Rooms, Central Clock and Chimes, Open Air Observatory and Founders' Room and Tower.

Students offering twelve units may be ad- mitted on condition. In either case the candidate must pre- sent three units in English and two in Mathematics. In the School of Liberal Arts, three units of Latin must, also, be offered; in the School of Science two years of language work are required, one of which must be Latin (this may be made up after entrance); in the School of Literature and Journalism one year of Latin is required, which may be made up after entrance. For removal of conditions see page 38. A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a sec- ondary 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 prospective students brought about by the inadequate High School facilities. It is the purpose of the Uuiversity to make its degrees repre- sent 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 en- trance requirements to drive away any students from our Institution. Adequate arrangements will be made for aiding any student who may be behind in his preparation in so far as such aid is consistent with the best ideals of college work. Oglethorpe University 37 LIST OF ENTRANCE UNITS The fifteen units may be selected from the following list: Units Composition and Rhetoric IV2 English Literature IV2 Algebra to Quadratics 1 Algebra through Binomial Theorem V2 Plane Geometry 1 Solid Geometry % Latin Grammar and Composition 1 Caesar, 4 books 1 Cicero, 6 orations 1 Vergil, 6books 1 Greek 1, 2 or 3 German 1, 2 or 3 French 1, 2 or 3 Spanish 1 Ancient History 1 Mediaeval and Modern History 1 English History 1 American History 1 Civil Government ^ or 1 Physiography V2 or 1 Physiology V2 Physics 1 Chemistry 1 Botany ^ or 1 Zoology V2 or 1 Agriculture lor2 Manual Training 1 or 2 Commercial Arithmetic V2 Commercial Geography V2 The President of the University will gladly answer any inquiries as to further details of entrance requirements, upon 38 Oglethorpe University request. An application blank will be found at the close of the catalogue. It is well for the prospective student to apply as early as possible. A blank for High School Certificate may be obtained by writing to the Registrar. Students who wish credit for college work done elsewhere must file with the Registrar a certificate from the institution in which the work was done. The institution must be one that is recognized by the Faculty of Oglethorpe University, and the work must be satisfactory to the professor of that department. REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS 1. Entrance Conditions Students admitted to par- tial standing in the Freshman Class may remove their en- trance conditions by passing entrance examinations in the additional subjects necessary, provided such examinations are passed within two years after admission to the University. 2. Entrance conditions must be removed before the open- ing of the third college year. No student will be permitted to register for any subject of his third year until his en- trance conditions are removed. 3. Students entering from other colleges will not be ad- mitted to advanced standing in any class until all entrance 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 examinations for Fall and Winter Term conditions, will be set at the end of the succeeding term, and at the beginning of the next session- Examinations for removal of Spring Term conditions wil Oglethorpe University 39 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 be- tween 60 and 40 per cent shall have one re-examination 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 students whose term grade in any subject lies below 40 per cent will not be entitled to a re-examination, but will be required to take the subject over in class. 8. The summer term may be devoted to work prepara- tory to condition examinations, as deficient students will not be permitted to carry extra work during the nine months' session. 9. Conditioned students absent from the regular condition examination must present an excuse satisfactory to the pro- fessor in charge of the subject or receive a zero for the ex- amination. When an excuse has been accepted a special ex- amination will be held for which a fee of two dollars will be charged, payable to the Registrar. 10. Any student having eight term conditions at the be- ginning of the session will be required to take the class over in all subjects. 11. No student with more than three term conditions may be permitted to register as a member of the next high- er class, but shall be considered a member of the same class as the year before, until the number of his unrernoved con- ditions shall not exceed three. 12. Conditions, whether due to failure, to incomplete work, or to absence, must be made up within a year or the subject repeated in class. 40 Oglethorpe University COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIRE- MENTS FOR DEGREES In the session of 1921-22 Oglethorpe University will offer courses in the four undergraduate Classes of four schools leading to the customary Academic degrees. The degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in the Classics will be con- ferred 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 Arts in Science will be conferred upon those students who satisfactorily com- plete a four years' course largely in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Literature will be given to those students who complete a course including special work in languages, literature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Arts in Commerce will be conferred upon those students who satisfactorily complete a full four years' course in studies relating particularly to business adminis- tration and industrial life. By a careful study of the courses outlined below, the stu- dent will be easily able to make a choice most suitable to his tastes and probable future life. In general, it may be suggested that those students pre- paring to enter such professions as the Ministry or Law, will choose the B. A. course in Classics; those looking for- ward to Medicine, Dentistry and other Scientific work, the B. A. course in Science; those expecting to enter the literary and journalistic field, the B. A. course in Literature, and those who intend to spend their lives in the business world, the B. A. course in Commerce. While each of these courses is so shaped as to influence the student towards a certain end, colored largely by the type of studies it includes, 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. 5? o Oglethorpe University 41 SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS Leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (B.

In supplying this need, which has for a long while been acutely felt in the South, the management of the University will be content with only the very highest grade of work and facilities. Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate department heading. These degrees are based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved institution. In general, it may be said that the degree of Master of Arts will be given for one year of additional study in graduate subjects more or less related to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy requires at least three years of grad- uate work. But neither degree is guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A certain amount of work must be accomplished, and the quality of it must be such as to satis- fy the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty. It is required that the candidate for Ph. D. demonstrate by ex- amination not later than the end of his first year his ability to read German and French, and the student must have complet- ed the under-graduate work in the subject to which he wishes to give his chief attention. A thesis must be sub- mitted, showing original work. In this connection, the prospective student will be inter- ested in learning that all Professors chosen as the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained the highest academic degree offered in that department. This fact is mentioned in order to indicate the earnest de- termination of the Board of Directors of the University that her Faculty shall include only men of the highest intellect- Oglethorpe University 49 al 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 1921-22. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educational world looks toward the union of academic with professional education. The broadening effect of association of profes- sional students with other classmen on the university cam- pus, as well as the valuable opportunity for contact with academic work, renders this connection highly desirable. It is the purpose of the University to enter the field of pro- fessional education as quickly as funds are secured to en- able us to do so adequately. Schools of Engineering, Ar- chitecture, Dentistry, Law and Medicine will be established as opportunity offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot be executed with the same quality of matter and form that is offered in the best institutions of our country: SPECIAL COURSES Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law or Engineering and who do not desire to study for an Aca- demic degree are allowed to take such courses as 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 Mathematics (l 1 /^)- 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), German (2), French (1), English (2) (elective), Bible (2) (elective). PRE-LEGAL: First Year English (1), Bible (1), History 50 Oglethorpe University (1), Latin (1), Mathematics (1). Second Year English (2), History (2), Modern Lan guage(l), Bible (2), and one elective. PRE-ENGINEERING: First Year Mathematics (1), Physics (1), Chemistry (1), English (1) (elective), 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, however, be clearly called to the fact that each year finds it more necessary for the professional man to have a thorough foundation for his professional studies, and the professional schools are becoming more strict in their requirements for entrance. Particularly is this the case in Medicine, where the best medical colleges require a diploma from a standard college for entrance. We would strongly advise our stud- ents to study the suggestions made on page 39 and have their college diploma safely in hand before they enter their professional studies. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1921-22 The policy of the Board of Directors of the University has been and will be to "hasten slowly" in the work of or- ganization of the . Institution. They, therefore, began the first year's work with one class, the Freshman. They are now ready to offer the full work of the undergraduate classes. The courses offered for the year 1921-22 are as follows: THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE Once a week the President has lectured to a class of Oglethorpe University 51 advanced students on "Cosmic History" and the purpose has been an interpretation of the body of modern discovery and thought from a theistic view point. The following sub- jects are included in the course : Geology, Chemistry, Biol- ogy, Embryology, Paleontology, Archaeology, Geography, History, Astronomy, The Great Sciences Who are They? All the students are required to attend and take notes, and are examined at the close of the course. The course in English Bible extends over two years; it is required for the B. A. degree in all four Departments, and must be pursued by every under-graduate student. The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the sec- ond to the New Testament, together with the intervening period. The study will include the mastery of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of each book, and such other matters as are required for the proper understanding of the work. It will be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as mere history or literature. The aim will be to impart such a knowledge of the subject as every intelli- gent man should possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and profit. The effort will be made to give the students the proper defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the objec- tions of unbelievers.

Morrison. The work in English in the first two years is designed to give students a mastery of their own tongue for speaking and writing, and to familiarize them with the best English literature. The elective courses, given mainly for Juniors and Seniors, provide intensive study in special fields. The summer courses, though not identical with the winter courses, are planned along similar lines, and give correspond- ing credits. This will enable a student to complete a portion of his requirements for a degree in the summer. For graduate students work is offered leading to the de- gree of M. A. More advanced work in the graduate school has been planned, but is not offered at present. English 1. Composition. Practice in speaking and writing, with collateral study of masterpieces of modern prose. The chief object of the course is to teach the stud- ent to arrange his thoughts clearly and present them with force. He is also encouraged to enlarge his vocabulary and Oglethorpe University E3 his stock of ideas by the reading of good essays. All Fresh- men. 3 hours. Text-Books: MacCracken and Sandison, Manual of Good English, Carpenter and Brewster, Modern English Prose. English 2. English Literature. A study of the best Eng- lish poetry and prose, with special attention to style and to philosophic content and to the historical development of lit- erature.

These courses will be arranged to suit the needs of the students, but will be so given as to enable the student who has a college de- gree to obtain the M. A. degree in two years, or by inten- sive study in a shorter time. Supplementary courses in other departments will be also required of the candidate fcr the degree. Some eighteen thousand volumes and pam- phlets of English Scholarship recently added to our library will be available beginning September, 1921. GREEK Professor Nicolassen. Three years of Greek will be offered in the undergraduate 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 language, but also for those whose preparation is inadequate. The most im- portant subjects, both in inflection and syntax, are presented early in the course, and then, by a system of weekly re- views, 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. Greek 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 practice in translating English into Greek. The use of accents is required. Oglethorpe University 55 A part of the work of this class consists of the minute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis of tenses, and the inflection of certain portions. Written translations of English into Greek are required once a week. On the other days a short oral exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson; so that in each recita- tion some practice is had in translating English into Greek. Text-Book. Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White), Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias, Goodwin's Greek Grammar, Pearson's Greek Prose Composition, Myers's Eastern Na- tions and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon, (un- abridged). Three times a week throughout the year. Elective. Greek 2. In the first term Demosthenes will be read; in the second, Herodotus; in the third, Homer.

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 Cati- line will be studied in this year. A brief history of Rome will also be included. Prose composition, both oral and written, will be carried on throughout the year. Text-Books. Livy XXI, XXII (Greenough and Peck), Cicero de Senectute, Sallust's Catiline. Allen and Green- ough's Latin Grammar, Myers's History of Rome, Har- pers' Latin Dictionary. Three times a week throughout the year. Required for B. A. in Classics. Students who lack the required number of units in Latin, may substitute the same number of units in Greek. Latin 2. The studies of this class will be in Cicero's Letters, Horace and Plautus. A course in Latin Literature will also be given; Mackail's Latin Literature. Three times a week throughout the year. Elective. Latin 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; Johnston's Private Life of the Romans. 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 sug- gest methods for beginners and for classes in Caesar, Cicero and Vergil. Certain departments of the grammar will be discussed, e. g., the Subjunctive Mood, the Conditions, Oglethorpe University 57 Indirect Discourse; scanning will be illustrated, and atten- tion given to topics which have caused difficulty to teach- ers. Suggestions will be made as to the best means of help- ing pupils to acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of procedure and the subjects treated will depend somewhat on the personnel of the class. The work will be undertaken if as many as ten persons offer themselves. This class will probably meet on Satur- days. 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. Graduate Courses in Latin and Greek Those who are thinking of taking the graduate courses are advised to write to the President or to the Professor, that their preliminary studies may be so guided as to fit them for the work. The requirements for entrance into these courses are given elsewhere in this catalogue, under the head of Graduate School. Following is a sketch of the course that is proposed for this department. The work may be considered under three heads, each running through three years: I. Literary. II. Scientific. III. Practical. I. Literary, a. The aim will be to read a large amount of Greek. The first year will be devoted to a study of Homer, Hesiod and the Lyric poets. *.$ 58 Oglethorpe University In the second year the Attic Literature wil! be considered under the four heads of History, Philosophy, Oratory and Drama. One of these will be the main subject of study with some attention to the other three. The third year will be devoted to the Alexandrian and Graeco-Roman periods, with the study of such authors as Polybius, Plutarch and Lucian. In each author studied a limited portion will be selected for close, critical study; there will also be a more rapid read- ing of other parts. The Seminary method will be used, the student from time to time acting as teacher and conducting the discussion under the guidance of the professor. Some practice in Greek and Latin Composition will be carried on each year. b . In Latin the procedure will be on the same general lines as in Greek. The first period will cover the early Roman writers, especially Plautus and Terence. The frag- ments of the early writers will also be studied. The Golden Age consists of two parts, the Ciceronian period and the Augustan period. The work of Cicero as an orator, as a philosopher and as a letter writer will be con- sidered, and some attention will be paid to his chief contem- poraries. In the Augustan age such authors as Vergil, Horace and Livy will receive most attention. In the third period the chief authors will be Martial, Tacitus and Juvenal. In this time the language begins to decline and the process will be traced. Grandgent's Vulgar Latin, Lindsay's Short Historical Grammar (second edi- tion, Oxford), Bennett's Latin Language. II. Scientific. (1). History of Classical Scholarship. The development of the subject will be traced from ancient times, through the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance; then will follow a study of the contributions made by the Oglethorpe University 59 modern nations. In each period stress will be laid upon the individual scholars who were most noted for their know- ledge and interest in the classics. Peck's History 'of Classical Philology (MacMillan) will be used as the text-book, with frequent reference to San- dys's History of Classical Scholarship, 3 Vols. (Cam- bridge University Press). (2). Textual Criticism. The student will be made ac- quainted as rapidly as possible with the general principles of the subject by the study of the chapters on Recension and Emendation in F. W. Hall's Companion to Classical Texts. (Clarendon Press, Oxford). These principle will then be applied to the study of some particular author. (3). Epigraphy. (a). Greek. The reading of select inscriptions will be be- gun at an early day, some from facsimiles. E. S. Roberts' Introduction to Greek Epigraphy (Cambridge University Press) will be used as a general guide. The students should also possess Kern's Inscriptiones Graecae (Marcus et Weber, Bonn). The method of making squeezes of inscriptions will be demonstrated, and will be practised by the members of the class. Omitted in 1921-22. (b). Latin. In Latin Epigraphy some attention will first be paid to the Latin Alphabet and other preliminary matters. Practice will then be given in reading selected in- scriptions. Egbert's Latin Inscriptions (American Book Company), or Sandys's Latin Epigraphy (Putnam) will be used. Omitted in 1921-22. (4). Palaeography. Greek and Latin MSS. will be studied in the different kinds of alphabets, capital, uncial, minuscule, and the methods of dating MSS. by these differ- ences will be pointed out. Thompson's Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography (Clarendon Press, Oxford) 60 Oglethorpe University will be the text-book. De'Cavalieri and Leitzman, Speci- mina Codicum Graecorum Vaticanorum (Bonn) will fur- nish additional specimens. Some attention will also be paid to the study of papyri. Omitted in 1921-22. (5). Phonetics. The physical basis of speech will be set forth by charts and papier mache model of the larynx, showing the position and action of the vocal chords and other organs. Greek and Latin Phonetics will then be taken up in detail. Soames's Introduction to the Study of Phonetics (Mac- millan). Omitted in 1921-22. (6). Archaeology. A sketch will be given of the de- velopment of the subject; then the architecture, sculpture, vases and coins of Greece and Italy will be considered. Fowler and Wheeler's Greek Archaeology (American Book Company.) Goodyear's Roman Art. III. Practical. The student will be required to attend one of the undergraduate 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. This together with the Seminar, is the laboratory in language study. In Latin the following course will be offered for the M. A. degree in the session of 1921-22: Vergil's complete works; Vergil in the Middle Ages; History of Classical Scholarship, Textual Criticism. FRENCH French 1.

The School of Business Administration, Commerce and Fin- ance is an undergraduate-graduate school, one of the profes- sional divisions of the University. Entrance requirements for the undergraduate work are the same as for the School of Liberal Arts, except that Ancient Language is not required. Modern Language, especially Spanish or French, is strongly advised. Shorthand and typewriting are neither required nor later counted toward a degree, but are strongly recommend- ed. The graduate work is based upon the Bachelor's Degree from an accredited institution. First YEAR-The laws and principles of Economics, with special reference to American conditions. The course per- sents a general survey and is designed to serve as an intro- duction to later and more intensive study of the problems of industrial society. Economic and Commercial Geography-A study of pro- Oglethorpe University 71 duction and trade as influenced by geographic conditions. The geography of the more important commercial products of the farm, range, forest, mine, factory, and sea; continental and oceanic trade routes; great commercial centers and types of commercial nations. Civil Government in the United States Analysis of the structure and workings of the government in the United States, local, state, and national; the organization and activi- ties of state and federal administration, with the fundamen- tal legal and political principles governing same. Accounting Principles An elementary course based on the use made of financial statements in business organization and control. The student is familiarized, through practice and discussion, with the entire accounting process, begin- ning with the voucher and ending with the report. The last part of the course is devoted to the consideration of the typical financial statements and their analysis from the stand- point of the various interests involved. The method of in- struction is a combination of lectures and discussions, sup. plemented by laboratory practice. Business Communication A study of the communicating function in business and of the technique which is common to all forms of business communication; discussed in its psychological, rhetorical, graphic, and typographical aspects. The practice work is organized around Material, Attention, Interest, Understanding, Belief, Action, and Good Will. It includes the assembling of the data from letters, editorials, and business articles. This course has a twofold purpose: (1) to give the infor- mation about the communicating activities of business and the skill in the presentation of business material which all business workers need, and (2) to provide the foundation necessary for an advanced study of correspondence and advertising problems. 72 Oglethorpe University Business Psychology Business problems from the psychological point of view, (1) Psychological facts and principles applicable to the conduct of business operations; (2) possibilities and limitations of psychological method and approach to business problems. Among the topics discussed are the hiring and instructing of employees, voca- tional adjustment, group efficiency, advertising and selling. Financial Organization of Society A study of the nature and work of the various types of financial institu- tions in the modern business world, the forces that have led to their development, and their relation to the organiza- tion of industrial society. The principal forms of financial institutions covered are: coinage and monetary systems; credit; commercial banks; savings banks; bondhouses; trust companies; stock exchanges; the various forms of co-opera- tive associations; also a brief study of the functions of the corporation and the insurance company as financial institu- tions. Each of these institutions plays its own part in the industrial syttem, and together, in their many interrelations, they make up the financial structure of society. Labor Conditions and Problems A general survey an- alytical, causal, and historical, of the main forces and factors which give rise to modern labor conditions and problems and which, therefore, must be taken into consideration in the attempted solution of specific labor problems, together with a brief discussion of social programs, organized labor, and labor legislation. This course is designed to serve as the foundation for the special courses in this field as well as to meet the needs of those who wish only a general study of labor problems. Its main divisions are: the genesis, evo- lution, and character of present-day labor problems; the material progress and present condition of the wage-earning class, wages, hours of work, unemployment, property hold- ings, and distribution of income, among other things, being considered; points of view and social programs; the philoso- Oglethorpe University 73 phy, policies, and methods of organized labor, arbitration and social insurance. Risk and Risk Bearing in Modern Industrial Society A detailed study of the speculative character of modern industry, with analysis of the various sources and kinds of risks and the various ways of meeting risk. Special study of insurance: (1) life; the kinds of companies, their organi- zation and operation; the kinds of policies and the calculation of premiums; insurance investments and dividends. (2) Prop- erty insurance, companies and their methods of operation; the determination of rates; policy conditions; the work of in- spection bureaus; underwriters' laboratories. (3) The prob- lems of buying and selling insurance; regulation of insurance by the state; state insurance. Commercial Organization I Raw Materials A sur- vey of the method and problems connected with the mar- keting of raw materials. A study is made of farm products, mineral products, forest products, and sea products, and the physical and geographical environment of the productive regions to discover their commercial problems. The course falls into three general divisions: (1) the commodity, (2) the markets, (3) the trade organization. Special study is made of the problems of the middlemen, transportation, warehousing, organized exchanges and produce markets, market news, financing the market, and market price. These problems are analyzed in classroom discussion as they appear in the marketing of four or five great staple commodities. Theory and practice are balanced by visits to warehouses, cold stor- ages, produce markets, and other specialized markets. Each student is required to select a commodity and trace it through its entire marketing process. The information for these papers is secured through government bulletins, mar- ket reports, technical and scientific literature, and by inter- views and observation. Special emphasis is placed upon first-hand information. 74 Oglethorpe University Commercial Organization II: Manufactured Goods In the problems and methods of marketing manufactured products, the same general divisions are made: (1) the com- modity, (2) the market, (3) the trade organization. The classroom discussion will consider the general problems con- fronting a merchant with goods to sell; organization of a business; duties and responsibilities of the sales manager, the advertising manager, and the advertising agency; appli- cation of scientific principles to commercial analysis; loca- tion; analysis of a commody, purchasing problem, stock plans; analysis of market; analysis of trade organization, department store, chain-store, mail-order house, co-operative store; price policy, price maintenance, credit; opportunities for extending the market; selection and organization of the sales force; selection of advertising mediums; financing a sales and advertising organization; co-ordinating the selling forces. The aim is to define and outline the general princi- ples of commercial analysis, which includes the work of both salesmen and advertising men. The literature that is avail- able on these problems is assigned for reading. As in Course I above, the student is required to make first-hand investigation and written reports of the problem, in local establishments. Commercial Organization III: Foreign Trade The marketing problems arising are: theories of foreign trade; character and volume of trade available for foreign com- merce; contact with the foreign market, commission house, forwarding agent, manufacturers' agent, indent merchant, traveling salesmen, export departments; foreign correspond- ence; advertising in the foreign market; combining for for- eign trade; prices in foreign trade, foreign exchange, credit, price quotations; transportation; marine insurance; tariffs; merchant marine; individual foreign markets. The point of view is that of an inland city like Atlanta. The problems are conducted by this fact. Oglethorpe University 75 As in courses I and II, each student will select a single commodity for detailed study. The investigation will be developed into a term paper dealing with the selected pro- duct in the various foreign markets, with the effects of the European war, and with the future possibilities. An at- tempt will be made to clear away the obscurities surround- ing the subject of foreign trade by following a commodity through to its destination, with samples of all the necessary documents.

Industrial Administration I Designed primarily for those students expecting to enter the manufacturing field. It presupposes the courses Industrial Society, Business Ad- ministration, Statistic, Accounting, and some ability to un- dertake independent investigation. The course deals with the nature and characteristics of the complex problems of the industrial executive, and systematic methods of such problems, aiming thus to provide the student with a sense of relative values and seme method for later intensive re- search on his own initiative. The work is made practical by independent investigation in factories of various types. Industrial Administration II A continuation of Indus- trial Administration I with similar objectives. The more im- portatant "philosophies of administration" which help to solve the manufacturer's problems; a rapid survey of the history of industrial engineering; theories, principles, methods of approach, devices, and their application to various types of industry. This work is made practical through personal interviews with men who have developed the more important philosophies of administration. Commercial Ltw (A three- term course). Ordinarily in non-commercial affairs the risks incident to ignorance of the law are not particularly formidable. A working know- ledge of the rules of the Commercial Law is of practical value to every citizen, but to the successful business man of today it is indispensable. Successful completion of this course will make available to the student all substantive law courses offered in any law school. Among the subjects are: Contracts, negotiable in- struments, agency, partnership, corporations, sales, bailments, carriers, guaranty and suretyship, insurance, wills, etc. The case system of instuction is employed.

American college football is the most interesting, most exciting, most manly, most instructive and most prof- itable game ever played by men. It, more than any other, furnishes to its devotees, something of the moral equivalent of war, and such a hold has it taken on the public that they pour out their tens of thousands of dollars to witness inter- collegiate games in vast stadia and bowls erected largely for the purpose, at a cost reaching into the millions. It is a momentous thing for the academic world to have control of the American equivalent of the Olympic games and the con- tests of the Arena, and as we watch the never ceasing en- largement of interest, finance, equipment and importance of this part of college work it must be perfectly apparent that the very life of a college depends and will more and more depend upon its method of handling this fact which is at once a challenge and an opportunity. And, hand in hand with football, go baseball, basket-ball, boating, track, and indeed the whole physical well-being of the vast American student-body. i Passing by as somnolent those colleges that sidestep the fact by denying their students the priviledge of intercollegiate sport and those that permissively decree a Students' Athletic Association which asumes control of coach, games, and often of "Faculty Directors of Athletics", we come to those insti- tutions that face the situation with wide open eyes. The attitude of Oglethorpe University to all athletics is based upon the recognition of the physical training of the human body as a college study. It is presumed that a matter of such overwhelming im- Oglethorpe University 85 portance to college life as athletics and of such transcendent interest to the public thai it commands their time and purses at will, is a matter worth studying seriously and deserving to be ranked with Greek or Poultry Keeping. Therefore Oglethorpe University has founded her School of Physical Culture. Its purpose is two-fold: to train, protect and develop the bodies of all the students of the University and to offer a special school where those who deserve it may receive spe- cial training, equipping them, for positions as Physical Direc- tors in Y. M. C. As., in the Army, and in other schools, col- leges and universities. As a school for the special preparation of students for positions as physical directors and coaches in Y. M. C. As., the Army and other schools and universities, a regular cur- riculum has been arranged offering instruction in the follow- ing subjects, the completion of which will lead to an appro- priate certificate or degree: 1. Physiology: A first-year course in the study of the human body, one hour per week Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer Terms. Required of all Freshmen. Prerequisite for all courses enumerated below. Includes studies in San- itation, Hygiene and First Aid Dr. Armstrong 2. Mass Athletics: A study of methods used in the A. E.

Routh, Gaertner, and Maxwell 13. Arts and Science Group Comprising such electives 'from courses offered in the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Literature, and Commerce as may be elected to complete requirements of S. I, A, A,, for eligibility in intercollegiate games. An appropriate letter will be given all students making the University team in any of the above classes, 3-10 inclusive. Any student successfully completing all courses, 1-13 in- clusive, will be accorded a certificate or diploma in proportion to the quantity and quality of his work. Every human being should be taught to play with his fellow-beings. Every student should have daily exercise. These two simple but fundamental axioms are the basis for all work in this department. , The munificent gift of fifty thousand dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance to Oglethorpe University for an athletic field has made possible the immediate inauguration of this plan, which is founded upon the study from a college standpoint of physiology, hygiene, sanitation, first-aid work, etc. It further emphasizes the necessity of careful medical supervision of all athletics and the adaptation to each indiv- idual student of special forms of exercise. One of its most important features is the requiring' of every student to take some form of physical exercise daily under proper medical or tutorial guidance. In this way those who need it most would be most advantaged, and the chief failure of the athletic program of our average American col- lege would be obviated, for it is a notorious fact that most of our institutions develop a small number of trained ath- 88 Oglethorpe University letes in football, baseball, basket ball, etc., while the great mass of students do little more than sit on the bleachers- and yelL And the building of the new athletic field given by Mr, and Mrs, Hermance makes possible the inauguration at Oglethorpe of a complete system of physical culture for all students. It will include not only the great athletic features such as football, baseball, basketball, etc, but also many interesting track exercise, discus and javelin throwingjump- ing, vaulting and, in fact, all of the various numbers to be found at our intercollegiate track meets. It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University as quickly as circumstances may permit, to enter a team in every number on the program of such meets, and, in addition, to develop a strong boating crew on Silver Lake. The University has been especially fortunate in enjoying the services of Mr. Frank B. Anderson, one of the best known coaches in the South, who has had charge of Ath- letics at Oglethorpe University and who has been advanced to the directorship of the department of physical culture. Mr, Anderson has merited and won not only a great reputation as a coach, but as a clean, fine friend of young men and there is no man in the whole of America more loved by his boys. We are especially fortunate also in being able to announce that Mr. Walter B. Elcock, famous Dartmouth ail-American foot-ball star, known as one of the best coaches in the United States, will coach our football team and teach Course Nc. 4, The University, of course, is proud of his record and happy in the knowlege that our boys will have as their football coach a man who is an expert in that department with hardly an equal in this country, and those of us who have charge of the moral and mental life of the University, feel especially happy in having at the head of this fascinating department of our work, a splendid outstanding man whose Oglethorpe University 89 personal influence with the students will mean so much in the building of character and the enforcing of every moral and religious precept. It is not going too far to say that the teams at Oglethorpe will be as well coached next year and thereafter as any teams on the American continent, for there are no two finer men at the head of athletics whether it be as coaches or as men, than the two who head this department at Oglethorpe. To these should be added Mr. Howard H. Beckett, profes- sional golf player and instructor of the Capital City Club, who will have charge of course No. 7. Mr. Beckett has a national reputation as teacher and golfer and his addition to the faculty of the University is a matter of just pride a ad congratulation. Other instructors will be added as this work may require. % Oglethorpe University SUMMER TERM The university year is divided into four terms of approxi- mately twelve weeks each. The Fall, Winter and Spring: terms will continue in operation as heretofore. The Sum- mer term will offer intensive courses in standard college subjects and is designed: 1. To enable students to shorten their college course from four to three years; 2. To enable any deficient students to make up their de- ficiencies, 3. To furnish teachers, men and women, with a means of utilizing their summers in intensive study of selected sub- jects, thus obtaining college credits leading to academic de- grees. All these classes will have the opportunity of securing college credits leading to academic degrees. Teachers with the Baccalaureate degree, by attending three Summer terms, may obtain the Master's degree. The Summer term will begin June 7th, 1921, and close the following August 19th, The Fall term will extend from September 21st, to December 23rd, the Winter term from January 3rd, 1922, to March 18th, and the Spring term from March 21st to June 3rd, 1922, Those who wish to take any of these courses should be on the ground and ready to begin work the very first day. The Summer Term at Oglethorpe University offers courses of equal value with those given in the nine months' session. The work, however, will be intensive in character, so that a student can pursue not more than two subjects. By meeting six days in the week for 1% hours each day it is expected that the classes can cover as much ground, in these two subjects, as in the longer session. Oglethorpe University 91 Intelligence Tests and Classifications DR. ANDREW T. OSBRON, Murray Normal, Murray, Kentucky; McTyeire Institute, McKenzie, Tennessee; Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas; Post graduate course under Professors Carver and Puffer of Harvard; Director of Educational Research and Vocational Guidance, Atlanta Public Schools. Oglethorpe University takes pleasure in announcing that a Training School for Teachers in Modern Educational Questions and Tendencies will be conducted under the direc- tion of Dr. A. T. Osbron, Director of Educational Research and Vocational Guidance of the Atlanta Public Schools. While this course will treat of several vital topics the question of the new intelligence tests, their technique and value will receive the supreme emphasis. These tests came into great public notice by the use they received in classify- ing the man power of the World War. They have contin- ued the one special line of interest throughout the modern educational world. Dr. A. T. Osbron is recognized as a leader in this special field, having been a pioneer as a direct- or of Vocational work in Kansas City, Mo., lecturer in the Lakeside Chautauqua, for five successive seasons, a profound student of practical psychology, and having very recently, directed large classes in the city of Atlanta. He was one of the earliest investigators who in a scientific way interest- ed himself in the different types of intelligence tests and educational measurements, a knowledge of which will very soon be needed by every progressive teacher. "The subject and the man understand each other". The following subjects will be discussed in the lectures: The Psychology of the Pre-Adolescent Period. The Meaning and Method of Intellectual Tests. The Psychology of Adolescence. How to tell the Story of Life's Beginnings, 92 Oglethorpe University Intelligence Tests, Scores and Norms. Psychic Control in Discipline. The Value and Acquisition of a Magnetic Personality. Intelligence Tests and how to give them. The Objective Plane of Mind. The Subjective Plane of Mind.

Three hours a week- Greek Professor Nicolassen. The following courses will be offered: 1. Beginners' Class. No knowledge of the language will be required for entrance into this class; but it will be found useful also for those whose training has been defec- tive. Benner & Smyth's Beginners' Greek Book (Ameri- can Book Company) will be used as the text-book. The effort will be made to begin the reading of the Anabasis in a short time. There will be constant drill and review on the fundamentals, so as to avoid, as far as possible, the loss of important material as the work progresses. 94 Oglethorpe University 2. Anabasis Those who are thoroughly familiar with the forms may be organized into a class for the rapid read- ing of the Anabasis. Text-book, Goodwin & White's Four Books of Anabasis (Ginn & Co.). 3. Homer A class will be formed for the reading of Homer, if a sufficient number apply for it. Seymour's School Iliad, Books I--VI (Ginn & Co.), will be used. 4. New Testament If any persons, beginners or oth- ers, desire to read the New Testament in Greek, they should consult the Professor in advance. Westcott & Hort's New Testament in Greek (Student's Edition with Lexicon.) Macmillan. Latin Professor Nicolassen The summer work in Latin and Greek is intended to be intensive. The student is supposed to take not more than tv/o subjects, to have six recitations a week, and to cover 1% hours at each recitation. High School Pupils who may lack one or two units for entrance into college, have the opportunity to make up these deliciences by study during the summer. By confer- ring with the professor in advance, it may be possible for those who are fully prepared, to do some of their college work and thus shorten or lighten the work of the regular session. College Students who have conditions to remove or wish to shorten their college course, should consult the pro- fessor, that arrangements may be made to meet their needs. A selection will be made from the following subjects ac- cording to demand. 1. Study Of Methods Suggestions will be made for the teaching of beginners' Latin, Caesar, Cicero and Vergil. Oglethorpe University 95 Special attention will be given to the matter of gaining a vocabulary. Difficulties of teachers will be considered. A question box will be placed in the recitation room, by which questions may be presented to the professor; this may also be done freely during the meeting of the class. Composi- tion work and sight reading will be considered. Persons who can do so are advised to read Bennett and Bristol's The Teaching of Latin and Greek in the Secondary School (Longman, Green & Co., New York), and The Re- lation of Latin to Practical Life, by Miss Frances E. Sabin, (419 Sterling Place, Madison, Wis.) Much help would be derived from the Classical Journal, $2.50 a year. Member- ship in the Classical Association of the Middle West and South ($2.00 a year), secures the Journal without additional charge. Teachers are especially advised to procure and bring with them Game's Teaching High School Latin (University of Chicago Press), or A Hand-book for Latin Teachers, by Miss Frances E. Sabin, (University of Wiscon- sin, Wis,). These publications contain many useful sugges- tions, and will furnish the basis for some additional hints. 2. Caesar 'Those who wish to read Caesar should come provided with Allen & Greenough's New Caesar. The effort will be made to enable members of the class to read with accuracy and ease. Careful attention will be paid to Indirect Discourse, the Subjunctive, the gaining of a Voca* bulary. 3. Cicero A. class for the reading of Cicero will be formed if a sufficient number call for it. Allen & Gree^ nough's New Edition will be used. 4. Vergil This class is intended both for those who have never read Vergil and for those who wish a review. Beside the reading of the text, the subject of mythology will be considered. The reading of the Hexameter will be care- fully taught, with constant drill, until the chief difficulties are mastered. Allen & Greenough's Vergil. 96 Oglethorpe University French The summer work in French will be arranged to suit the needs of those who apply for it. There will be a class either for beginners or for those who wish more advanced work, Spanish Professor Libby, Spanish I, Elementary.

Oglethorpe University 99 UNIVERSITY EXPENSES Board and Room Rent The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are the safest and most comfortable of cognate institutions in the South.

The Boarding Department of the Institution is conducted at cost to the student. Thoroughly first-class service will be given. The skimmed milk diet which produces skimmed milk thinking will be studiously avoided. Price of board is included in the room rent. The prices named below are based upon three grades of rooms. The first of these comprises the temporary dormi- tory; the second the entire third floor of the present main building, which is fifty (50) feet wide and one hundred and eighty (180) feet long; it is divided into individual rooms, with general toilet and bath room on the same floor.

SELF HELP Approximately twenty per cent of the Oglethorpe student body are "working their way through college" in whole or in part. It is the intention of the authorities of the University to see that a way is provided as far as possible for the assis- tance of any student who may be in pecuniary need and yet CO Oglethorpe University H91 desirous of prosecuting his studies at Oglethorpe. A special Faculty Committee will co-operate with students to that end. As a general rule it is best for the student that he should be able to devote all of his time to his academic duties, but where circumstances require it many students may under, take various tasks, payment for which materially aids them in meeting their expenses. For further information address the President, Oglethorpe University, Georgia. 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 to deserving students who would otherwise be unable to prosecute their studies at Oglethorpe. Further detail upon application. ATHLETICS HERMANCE FIELD The munificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Her mance in giving to Oglethorpe the sum of $50,000.00 for an Athletic Stadium, the finest in the South, makes feasible the development of all forms of field sports, including not only the great games of football and baseball, but also vaulting, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, track work, etc. Physical culture for all students will be required. SILVER LAKE A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the University toward inter-collegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe University is acquitting herself well in that sphere of her educational life. In addition to those sports common to all well equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering eighty acres located conveniently to the University campus, with a part of its 102 Oglethorpe University 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. The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the care of the physical life of our students as a matter of large impor- tance. (Physical and hygienic welfare and instruction will be a part of the curriculum of the institution.) Regular instruction, looking to symmetrical development of the entire man will be given in the Athletic Department of the University, under competent medical guidance. Spe- cial attention is at present given to outdoor athletics. Ade- quate provision is being made for football and baseball grounds, tennis courts, etc., Work has been begun on the Hermance Stadium. UNIVERSITY STORE One of the interesting features of university life at Ogle- thorpe is the University Store, managed for the benefit of the students themselves, under the superintendence of the Faculty, In the store are kept all the necessary college accessories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made most convenient- ly, as full lines Of goods answering the various college re- quirements are constantly kept on hand. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE The ability of a college or university to develop worthy character in its students depends largely upon that indefin- able quality called "college atmosphere." As a mother, she breathes her own soul into her boys. They inherit all she has been through, all of labor and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments have been bought out with money they inherit that; if with blood they inherit that. Every Oglethorpe University 103 storm through which she has passed strengthens them for their own conflicts in the days that are to come. Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and prayer God alone built her, touching the hearts of multitudes of His children at the voice of her call. Alone of all the prom- inent 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 triumph, she has learned what things are really worth while and what hand really to lean upon. She will tell her children of Him. SPECIAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES Regular chapel exercises, which the students are required to attend, are conducted by each of the members of the faculty in turn. The student life at Oglethorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Y. M. C. A., and frequent sermons and addresses by visiting pastors and evangelists. LIBRARIES By the generosity of many friends, so great as to be al- most unparalleled, the University received during the first year of its life approximately ten thousand volumes for the library. These consist of standard works in Literature, His- tory and Science, with many valuable reference works in special departments. The Private Libraries of Dr. Sellers in Science, and of Dr. Nicolassen in the Classics, are both available for the use of the students in these departments. The policy of the institution is to let no year go without the enlargement of the library. A competent librarian is in charge and the rooms will be open during the year of 1921- 22 approximately ten hours per day. The Public Library of Atlanta is also available for the use of our students. m CJGLETHOlttfE UNIVERSITY ICING LIBRARY OF ENGLISH By the splendid generosity of Dr. Cheston King the Ohf- versity will soon be enjoying a Library of English incompar- ably the finest south of Washington. The volumes for this' library, including some seventeen thousand books and pamphlets, have been received, and will soon be available for graduate work. OGLETHORPE COAT-OF-ARMS Among the unique honors offered at the University is the presentation of a sweater with the Coat-of-Arms blazoned thereon, which will be awarded in the future under the terms of the following resolution unanimously adopted by the Faculty of the University, upon recommendation of the President: "Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1921, the Coat-of Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be given to those students carrying a minimum of fifteen hours weekly, of excellent personal character and conduct, whose general, average for five preceding consecutive terms shall have been not less than 93, or who, in lieu of said general aver_ age, shall have so distinguished themselves in some inteL lectual, creative, or constructive accomplishment as to en- title them thereto in the judgment Faculty." Previous awards of this honor have been made to the following: Carlisle, W. R, Murphy, J. R. Calmes, M. F. Moore, E. E. 1920 James, E. C, jr. Terrell, J. R., Jr. 1921 Hope, L. W. McClung, L. Mc.

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 hun- dred 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 of- fered by Oglethorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the section. One by one a splendid body of buildings is being erected on its campus. Every one of them will be of granite trim- med with limestone and covered with variegated slates. All of them will be as fire-proof as human skill can make them and as commodious and comfortable as our architects can plan them. They will be like the first 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 educational center are fast making it one of the great intellectual dyna- mos of the nation. Gifted with a soft, Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to the entire nation over its many lines of railway, known everywhere as the center of Southern activities, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great minds of the nation and the world. Hither comes lecturers, musicans, statesmen, evangelists, editors, teach- 106' Oghethorfe Oniversitv ers and officials of the United States, An intellectual at- mosphere created by such conditions and the frequent op- portunity 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 op- portunity which she will cultivate to the uttermost. Facili- ties for hearing and meeting the great musicians and authors and public speakers and the leaders in all spheres of intellec- tual 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 de- termination 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 college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings of their rooms and the ugly, forbidding architecture of the building,, whose walls often deface their campus. The architecture of an institu- tion of learning should be a constant source of delight and inspiration to its students, teaching quietly but surely the highest ideals of life. Indeed all those qualities of soul we know as honesty, solidity, dignity, durability, 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 impcrtant are the personal surroundings of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped apartments have exactly the same influence on the soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ilbequipped human companions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are entitled to the information and in- spiration such surroundings offer and the sons of the rich will deteriorate without them. Oglethorpe University 107 7n brief the college education that does not teach a love 'of beauty and tidiness and what is popularly called "de- cency," 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 exceptional op- portunities 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 depart- ments occupy their time in other matters than educating Freshmen. We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we have, and they will be taught by men who have taught in or had of- fered them, chairs in the greatest universities of America. This will be a permanent policy at Oglethorpe. PHYSICAL TRAINING All students of ail classes are required to take two hours a week of Physical Training. This is intended to keep the body in good condition, and is especially designed for the benefit of those students who do not take part in football, baseball, etc., but who need some stimulus to pay attention to their physical well being. INFIRMARY The University maintains at all times an excellent in- firmary, with a graduate nurse in attendance, for the prompt treatment of accidents and of such cases of sickness 108 Oglethorpe University as may occur. By this means prolonged and serious illness can often be prevented. During the recent influenza epi- demic vigorous measures were taken at once, with the re- sult that, while there were a relatively small number of cases, there were no fatalities. There is a University phy- sican who can be secured on short notice when his services are needed. EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS Examinations will be held once each term, and reports of the students' standing will be issued four timesper year. PUBLIC UTILITIES Oglethorpe University has the double advantage of being located in the suburbs cf Atlanta, so far out as not to be sub- ject 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 tele- graph service, and in addition thereto the University has its own postofhce, express office and railway station, all known as Oglethorpe University, Georgia. 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 be- tween Atlanta and Washington. Tickets may be purchased and baggage checked to Oglethorpe University, Georgia, the station being immediately in front of the campus. Stud- ents coming to Atlanta over other lines may either re-check their baggage to the University station, or may have it de- livered at a special rate of $1.00 per trunk by the Atlanta Baggage & Cab Company. In using the latter method men- tion should always be made of the special students' rate at the time the order is given.

The purpose of the Board is to aid the University in every wise and efficient way, with counsel of and guidance by the proper authorities of the Institution. Already more than two hundred of the finest workers and most represent- ative women of the city have offered their services and join- ed the organization. Their activities are directed toward the support and development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned to the committee on which she feels best able to serve. These committee covers the various departments of the University, and among them are: Ways and Means, Fin- ance, Grounds, Press, Entertainment, Hospital, Music, Lib- rary and Art, Refreshments, Transportation, and such other committees as it may seem wise to the Board from time to time to appoint. The authorities of the University welcome the formation of this organization with the greatest joy. The mere fact that they have promised a devoted allegiance to the enter- prise has its own genuine value, but those who know the women of Atlanta, with their marvelous capacity for earn- est and consecrated work directed 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. Lee Ashcraft Fiist Vice-President; Mrs. J. B. Campbell, Second Vice-Presi- 112 Oglethorpe University dent; Mrs. Arnold Broyles, Third Vice-President; Mrs. Hugh Richardson, Fourth Vice-President; Mrs. Cora Steele Libby, Fifth Vice-President; Mrs. T. R. Carlisle, Secretary; Mrs. E. D. Crane, Treasurer; Mr. Joel Hunter, Auditor. Mrs. John K. Ottley, Chairman of Executive Committee; Mrs. J. Cheston King, Ticket Committee; Mrs. Harry Hermance, Grounds; Mrs. Katherine H. Connerat, Member- ship; Mrs. J. T. Williams and Mrs. Norman Sharp, Hospi- tal; Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, Entertainment; Mrs. E. L. Chalenor, Library; Mrs. Haynes McFadden, Press; Mrs. DeLos Hill, Music. Through the liberality of a friend, whose, name is with- held by request, a fine driveway has been constructed from the University to Peachtree Road; it is called "The Maud Jacobs Driveway", in honor of the President of the Women's Board.
