THE OGLETHORPE IDEA
The Oglethorpe idea is to forge the strongest possible link
between the "academic" and "practical," between "human un-
derstanding" and "know-how," between "culture" and "profici-
ency," between past and present. We are persuaded that there
is ultimately no contradiction between the concepts represented
in each of these usually divorced pairs.
There can be no basic disagreement among educators and
laymen about the common elements of the student's real needs
and interests. He is to learn as much as possible about the
principles, forces, and laws influencing or governing Nature,
including human nature and human associations; to learn to take
account of these not only for their own sake but for growth,
guidance and direction for himself and others; to express his
deepest individuality in the work or calling most appropriate to
his talents; and to discover his proper place, role, and function
in the complex relationships of modern living.
Living should not be an escape from work. Education should
therefore encompass the twin aims of making a life and making
a living. But inescapably he is part and parcel of society. He
fulfills himself by the measure in which he contributes to the
happiness and progress of his fellows. Education, as an institu-
tion of society, has a social obligation. It cannot neglect either
the individual or the community without damage to both. The
social order at its best is best for the individual; the individual
at his best is best for society. The business of education is to
strive for this optimum.
What difference should an education make? There are people,
deficient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful. They
understand and get along well with their neighbors. They are an
influence for good in their community and earn a living by honest
effort. Any truly educated man displays the same traits. The
difference is in degree rather than kind.
Whereas it is usual for people to understand their fellows, how
much wider should be the sympathies of the educated man!
His contacts go beyond the living and embrace the seers of all
the ages, who as his companions should inform his mind and
enlarge his vision.
10 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of
mastering rather than being mastered by the economic and scien-
tific forces at work in our world. Creative brains and individual in-
itiative, tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility, are the
only sources of payrolls compatible with a free society, and im-
proving living standard, and a better way of life. Where else can
we look for this creative urge other than to adequate education
of qualified talent!
We make no claim that formal education inevitably bestows
these benefits. We insist that it can. If that be true, how may
the mark be reached? We shall always have to remind ourselves
as teachers that education is a difficult art. The pitfalls we would
shun are hard to escape. Of all people, the teacher must remain
the most teachable. The quest for wisdom is never-ending. We,
too, must continually grow in order to stimulate growth in those
who come to us to learn. We shall also have to remind ourselves
that subjects are merely the means; the objects of instruction
are the persons taught. We must be forever mindful that edu-
cation, in order to be true to itself, must be a progressive experi-
ence for the learner, in which interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry
is pursued to mastery, and mastery at one point occasions new
interests in others. The cycle is never closed, but is a spiral
which always returns upon itself at some higher level of insight.
Growth in everything which is human must remain the dominant
objective for the individual and for society.
We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense
from first to last, which hangs together, and which promotes this
desired result. Not only in professional training but also in the
education of the human personality, the materials of instruction
must have a beginning, point in a definite direction, and prepare
for all that ensues. We necessarily make provision for and give
scope to diversified talents in preparation for varied careers.
But this much we all have in common: each man has to live with
himself and all have to live with their fellows. Living in commu-
nity, with human understanding, involves arts in which we are all
equally concerned.

HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
Oglethorpe's history dates back to 1835 when a group of
Georgia Presbyterians, influenced by the example of Princeton
University, secured a charter for the operation of a church-sup-
ported university in the academic pattern of the nineteenth cen-
tury. Actual operations commenced in 1838 at Midway, a small
community near Milledgeville, at that time the capitol of the state.
For nearly three decades after its founding, the university
steadily grew in stature and influence. Its president during most
of that time, Samuel K. Talmage, provided gifted leadership and,
at the same time, gathered about him a faculty of unusual ability,
at least two of whom would achieve real distinction: James Wood-
row, an uncle of Woodrow Wilson and the first teacher in Georgia
to hold the Ph.D., and Joseph LeConte, destined to world fame
for his work in the field of geology.
Oglethorpe alumni went forth in those years to play roles of
importance in various fields. Perhaps the best-known of her grad-
uates was the poet Sidney Lanier, a member of the Class of 1860,
who remarked shortly before his death that the greatest intellect-
ual impulse of his life had come to him during his college days
at Oglethorpe.
But the life and service of the school were suddenly cut short
in the 1860's as Oglethorpe became a casualty of war. Her stu-
dents marched away to become Confederate soldiers; her endow-
ment at length was lost in Confederate bonds; her buildings were
converted to military use as a barracks and hospital. In a sense,
her fate became bound up with that of the Lost Cause.
After the close of the conflict an effort was made to revive the
institution, first at Midway and then by re-location in Atlanta.
However, the ravages of war, together with the dislocations of
Reconstruction, posed obstacles too great to overcome, and in
1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors for a second, and seemingly
final, time.
But three decades later, thanks largely to the determined
energy and vision of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, the school was revived,
chartered in 1913, and moved to its present location on the north-
ern edge of metropolitan Atlanta. The cornerstone of the first
12 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
building was laid in 1915 in a ceremony witnessed by members
of the classes of 1860 and 1861; symbolically, thus, the old and
the new were linked.
From then until his resignation in 1944, President Jacobs
became and remained the guiding spirit of the endeavor. He de-
veloped a number of ideas and enterprises which brought nation-
al, and even international, recognition to the school. Most notable
among these were the establishment of a campus radio station
as early as 1931, and the completion in 1940 of the Crypt of
Civilization to preserve for posterity a cross-section of twentieth-
century life.
Still a new era opened in the history of Oglethorpe in 1944
when Dr. Philip Weltner assumed the presidency and, with a
group of faculty associates, initiated a new and exciting approach
to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." As
described more fully in the preceding section, the new departure
was founded on the conviction that education should encompass
the twin aims of making a life and making a living, and that to-
ward these ends a program of studies should be developed which
made sense from first to last and which meaningfully hung to-
gether.
The last twenty years of Oglethorpe's history have revolved
around the central issue of finding more effective means of
answering the challenge posed by these fundamental purposes.
At the same time, though the College remains sympathetic to-
ward all religions and encourages its students to affiliate with a
local church of their own choosing or synagogue, all formal sup-
port from church bodies was discontinued. Today Oglethorpe
stands as a wholly private and non-sectarian institution of higher
learning.
The College has also developed a program of physical expan-
sion to keep pace with its academic growth. Five new dormitories
and a new student union building were opened in the spring of
1968. The new complex is designed not only to add additional
space to campus facilities but also to blend architecturally with
the existing pattern of buildings on the campus. Traer Hall, a
new women's dormitory, was completed in 1969.
HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
13
To all of this, it may be finally added, Oglethorpe enjoys the
great asset of location in Atlanta one of the great metropolitan
centers of the South and one of the most rapidly developing in
the nation. A city blending the graciousness of the Old South
with the social progress of the New, Atlanta is a key center of
transportation for the entire Southeast, with excellent service by
air, rail, and bus; it is also a hub of the modern highway system
being built through the region. With a metropolitan population
of well over a million, an ideal location in the foothills of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, and a temperate climate throughout the year,
the city offers many attractions and cultural opportunities to the
Oglethorpe undergraduate as a part of his whole development.

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed students
from all sections of this country as well as from abroad as candi-
dates for degrees. It is the policy of the Admissions Committee
to select for admission to the University those applicants who
present the strongest evidence of purpose, maturity, scholastic
ability, and potential for the caliber of college work expected at
Oglethorpe. In making its judgments, the Committee considers
the nature of the student's high school program, his grades, the
recommendations of his counsellors and teachers, and his scores
on aptitude tests.
The candidate for admission as a freshman must present a
satisfactory high-school program. In addition, he must submit
satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College
Entrance Examination Board, or American College Test. (Scores
of the Florida and Iowa State Tests will be acceptable if the
applicant has taken one of these as a result of statewide policy.)
It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College
Test, or Scholastic Aptitude Test as early as possible during his
senior year in high school. Details concerning the program can
be obtained from high school counsellors, or by writing the
American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City,
Iowa 52240, or College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592,
Princeton, N. J. 08540.
The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials
which must be submitted by the applicant. No application can
be considered and acted upon until all the items indicated have
been received. Applications will be considered in order of com-
pletion, and the applicant will be notified of the decision of the
Committee on Admissions as soon as action has been taken.
Though the exact date will vary from semester to semester,
generally the deadline by which admissions will be closed will be
announced by the University.
16 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM
The University invites and urges those students who have taken
the advanced placement examinations of the College Entrance
Examination Board to submit their scores for possible considera-
tion toward college credit. The general policy of Oglethorpe to-
ward such scores is the following: academic credit will be given
in the appropriate area to students presenting advanced place-
ment grades of 5; exemption but not credit will be given in the
appropriate area from basic courses for students presenting a
grade of 4; neither credit nor exemption will be given for grades
of 3 or 2; maximum credit to be allowed to any student for
advanced placement scores will be thirty semester hours.
COLLEGE LEVEL TESTING PROGRAM
The tests are administered by centers across the nation under
the control of the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592,
Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. General and subject examinations
are given in a wide and continually enlarging number of subjects.
Norms for the specific tests are set by the chairman of the
division to which each test pertains, providing that Oglethorpe
offers such a course. Scores above the credit norm earn credit
for the course. Scores above the waiver norm exempt the student
from the course.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Applicants for transfer from other recognized institutions of
higher learning are welcomed at Oglethorpe, provided they are
in good standing at the institution last attended. They are
expected to follow regular admissions procedures and will be
notified of the decision of the Admissions Committee in the
regular way.
Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses
comparable to the courses we offer which are applicable to a
liberal arts or a science degree. A two year residence requirement
is in effect, but may be reduced to one year by joint decision of
the dean and the chairman of the division in which the student
will major. Therefore, two years of transfer work is the maximum
given without such decision, but up to three years of transfer
work may be granted with such decision. Acceptable work must
be shown on an official transcript and must be completed with
a grade of "C" or better.
18 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
SPECIAL AND TRANSIENT STUDENTS
In addition to regular students, a limited number of special
and transient students will be accepted.
Special students are defined by the University as those not
working toward an Oglethorpe degree; they are limited to a
maximum of five semester courses, after which they must apply
for a change of status to that of regular student or be requested
to withdraw from the University.
Transient students may take a maximum of two semesters of
work here, provided that they secure a letter from the dean of
their original institution certifying that they are in good standing
there and that the original institution will accept for transfer
credit the academic work done by the student at Oglethorpe.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
All correspondence concerning admissions should be ad-
dressed to the Office of Admissions, Oglethorpe University, At-
lanta, Georgia. After receiving the application form, the appli-
cant should fill it out and return it with an application fee of
$20; this fee is not refundable. Admissions office(404)233-6864
or(404)261-1441.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS
Oglethorpe offers the worthy student many opportunities for
obtaining assistance in financing his undergraduate education.
These opportunities are provided under conditions which give a
reasonable guarantee to the applicants and the University that
they will go to those persons best able to benefit from them.
The many sources of revenue made available to the Scholar-
ship and Loan Committee include the Lowry Memorial Scholar-
ship Fund, Presidential Merit Scholarships, Activity Grants, the
National Defense Student Loan Program, the United Student
Aid Fund, the Educational Opportunity Grants, and the Athletic
Grants-in-Aid Program. Additionally, Oglethorpe participates in
the Federal College Work Study Program. Oglethorpe partici-
pates in the Educational Opportunities Grant up to one-half of
cost for those in extreme need.
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
19
Oglethorpe also has available loans at small interest rates
through an educational loan institution: The College Aid Plan,
Inc. This plan enables parents to pay for tuition and other
academic fees on a monthly basis.
Other funds are made available to the Committee by interested
persons, groups, and business firms from time to time.
Except in the case of loans, all assistance funds are granted
by the Committee as outright gifts to the student.
For further information, contact Director, Student Aid and
Placement Office, Oglethorpe University.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The University recognizes attendance at classes as the respon-
sibility of the student. Students are held accountable for all work
missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is determined
by each instructor for his own courses. Such regulations are
published and distributed by each professor at the beginning
of each term.
GRADES
A letter grading system is used. The range of A-D represents
passing work; any grade below D is regarded as a failure. Stu-
dents withdrawing from a course before the end of the semester
are given a "W" or a "WF", depending upon the circumstances
of the withdrawal. Students who do not meet all the requirements
of a course are given an "\" (incomplete) at the end of the semes-
ter. If the requirements are met by mid-semester of the next en-
rolled term, the "\" is replaced by a regular grade. If they are not
met within this time, the grade automatically becomes an "F".
Grade structure and quality points are as follows:
A Superior
4.0
B Good
3.0
C Satisfactory
2.0
D Passing
1.0
F Failure
0.0
FA Failure: Excessive absences
0.0
W Withdrawn
0.0
WF Withdrawn Failing
0.0
1 Incomplete
0.0
P Passing (used in special cases)
MINIMUM ACADEMIC AVERAGE
Though the grade of D is regarded as passing, the University
believes that students, in order to graduate, must exhibit more
ability than that required by the lowest passing mark. Therefore,
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 21
a student, in order to graduate from Oglethorpe, must compile
an over-all minimum average of 2.2. No student will be allowed
to graduate unless this minimum is met.
For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of minimum
averages has been established. Freshmen are required to main-
tain a cumulative average of at least 1.8 in their course work;
sophomores of at least 2.0 and juniors and seniors of at least 2.2.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Minimum requirements for graduation consist of the following:
forty semester courses (or their equivalent for transfer students)
totaling at least 120 hours; a cumulative grade average of at least
2.2; and the last four semesters to be spent as a registered
student at Oglethorpe. All graduating Seniors must file applica-
tion for diploma with the University Registrar.
DEGREES
Oglethorpe offers six degrees to those meeting the neces-
sary requirements: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science,
Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Bachelor of Science
in Education and Bachelor of Business Administration, and
Masters Degree in Elementary Education. Under the Bachelor
of Arts, majors programs are offered in the following areas:
Business Administration, Economics, Elementary Education,
Secondary Education (with concentrations available in English,
General Studies, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies),
English, German, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Psy-
chology, Sociology, and Social Work. Under the Bachelor of
Science, majors programs are offered in the following areas:
Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.
Under certain conditions, it is also possible for a student to
receive a degree from Oglethorpe under "professional option."
Through this arrangement and in accord with regulations of the
University, the student may transfer to a recognized professional
institution such as law school, dental school, or medical school
at the end of his junior year and then, after one year in the
professional school, receive his degree from Oglethorpe. Stu-
dents interested in this possibility should consult closely with
their advisors to make certain that all conditions are met.
22 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Freshmen who fail to maintain a cumulative average of at least
1.8, sophomores of at least 2.0, and juniors and seniors of at
least 2.2, are placed on probation for the following term. If during
that term they do not substantially improve their scholastic aver-
age, they will be dismissed from the University.
First semester freshmen receiving grades of less than D in all
subjects will be dismissed, as will students in the sophomore,
junior, and senior classes who fail to maintain at least a 1.0
cumulative average.
All students on Academic Probation at the end of the spring
semester must attend at least one session of summer school un-
less exempted for cause by the Dean of the College.
STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION
For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes,
students are classified according to the number of semester hours
successfully completed. Classification is as follows:
30 hours Freshman 61-90 Junior
31 60 hours Sophomore 91 above Senior
NORMAL ACADEMIC LOAD
A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less
than four courses each semester, but generally 5 courses are
taken, giving the student a total of 12 to 16 semester hours each
term. Regular students in the day classes are expected to carry
a normal load and to pay for a full schedule of courses. Students
other than transient and night students taking a reduced load
will pay the rate published by the University.
THE DEAN'S LIST
Students who earn a minimum average of 3.3 or better in any
given semester except the summer term for an academic load of
at least five courses are given the distinction of being placed on
the Dean's List.
DEGREES WITH HONORS
Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: for a cumulative
average of 3.5, the degree cum laude; for a cumulative average
3.7, the degree magna cum laude; for a cumulative average of
3.9, the degree summa cum laude.

STUDENT LIFE
ORIENTATION
At the beginning of each semester, new students will be in-
volved in an orientation program, under the general supervision
of the Dean of Students. Orientation activities are planned to
introduce the student to both academic and social life at Ogle-
thorpe. Orientation group leaders from among the upperclass-
men serve as guides and counsellors during the period. Follow-
ing orientation, the student is then assigned to a faculty advisor
who aids him in planning his academic program.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL DRESS AND GROOMING
Each individual has the freedom to dress and groom as he
chooses, and to select the school of his choice; however, these
freedoms are not without their responsibilities and consequences.
Institutions of higher education have their own personalities;
hence, they have the freedom to select the standards they want
for students who voluntarily elect to attend. When a student
voluntarily elects to attend Oglethorpe University, a private in-
stitution, he represents not only himself but also the student
body, the University, and in some measure, the community in
which the University has such deep roots.
The University takes the position that all students are expected
to dress and groom as mature, responsible adults, as ladies and
gentlemen. Dress and grooming are expected to be appropriate
to the occasion and in keeping with the positions of leadership
and responsibility in society.
Individuals who are unwilling to meet high standards of dress
and grooming should not apply to Oglethorpe University for ad-
mission.
Students who avoid these high standards or who deliberately
ignore them, either directly or indirectly, shall be terminated
from the University immediately.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES
All resident students are required to subscribe to the Student
Health and Insurance Plan provided by the University, unless
married or residing with parents.
NO Off Campus Fraternity Houses
26 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
The University maintains a small campus infirmary staffed by
a registered nurse. The infirmary operates on a regular schedule,
and provides basic first aid service and limited medical as-
sistance for students covered by the student insurance plan.
A physician visits the infirmary periodically to make general
diagnosis and treatment. In the event additional or major medi-
cal care is required, the student patient will be referred to medi-
cal specialists and hospitals in the area with which the health
service maintains a working relationship.
When it is determined that a student's physical or emotional
health is detrimental to his academic studies, group-living situa-
tion, or other relationships at the University on in the commun-
ity, he will be requested to withdraw. Re-admission to the Uni-
versity will be contingent upon acceptable verification that the
student is ready to return. The final decision will rest with the
University.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL CONDUCT AND RESPONSIBILITY:
THE ROLE OF THE COLLEGE AND THE STUDENT
Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply con-
cerned with the total development of the individual as a com-
petent student and as a highly responsible citizen both on the
campus and in the community. The University's high standards of
personal conduct and responsibility are an expression of its con-
fidence in each student's potential as a human being; however,
each student must be as willing to accept adult consequences
as he is insistent upon being granted adult freedom of decision
and action.
Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowledge
and integrity are synonomous; therefore, a firm grasp of acad-
emic studies will not in itself be an assurance that a student
is profiting fully from his college experience.
Individuals who do not desire to accept either this view of the
University's responsibility or its high standards should not apply
to the University for admission. Accepted students who demon-
strate their unwillingness to meet high standards will be termi-
nated from the University.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Valuable educational experiences may be gained through active
participation in approved campus activities and organizations.
All students are encouraged to participate in one or more organi-
28 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
zations and to the extent that such involvement does not deter
them from high academic achievement. IVIajors are especially
encouraged to join professional organizations associated with
their interests and goals.
Information concerning University activities and organizations
is contained in the Oglethorpe University Student Handbook.
HONOR SYSTEM
At Oglethorpe the Honor System is an integral part of college
life. Students are on their honor to respect the regulations of
the University and to abide by the provisions of the Honor Code.
The Honor System is supervised by a student Honor Council,
acting with the counsel of a faculty advisor.
FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES
University social fraternities were re-instituted at Oglethorpe in
1967; sororities followed in 1968. At present five fraternities and
three sororities contribute to the Greek system at Oglethorpe.
The five fraternities are (Chi Phi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Beta Nu and Sigma Alpha Mu). All three sororities have
their national charters (Chi Omega, Delta Phi Epsilon, and
Kappa Delta).
These social organizations contribute substantially to the
spiritual and social betterment of the individual and develop
college into a richer, fuller experience. Membership in these
organizations is voluntary and subject to regulations imposed by
the groups, the University Interfraternity Council, or by the Stu-
dent Government Association.
ATHLETICS
In addition to a well-rounded program of intramural sports,
intercollegiate competition is carried on in soccer, basketball,
tennis, and baseball. Students with athletic skills are invited
and urged to participate in any of these.
UNIVERSITY CENTER
The University Center is the center of campus social life. It
houses the student lounges, television room, recreational fa-
cilities, snack bar, post office, book store, student activity of-
fices, conference rooms, cafeteria and offices of the Dean of
Men and Dean of Women.
STUDENT LIFE
29
UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS
Students who are in their second year at Oglethorpe may elect
to live off campus (with parents' approval if under twenty-one
years old) as a non-metro student.
BOARDING REQUIREMENTS
All resident students are required to board. Exceptions or ad-
justments will not be granted for personal, religious, medical,
or employment reasons.
During periods not covered by the boarding fee, students may
use the cafeteria on a cash basis. Students are urged to review
the University calendar in order to anticipate their food and other
expenses during interim periods.
FINANCING
Students and parents desiring to pay expenses in installments
are advised to investigate the College Aid Plan, Inc., 1008 Elm
Street, Manchester, New Hampshire 03101; United Student Aid
Funds, Inc.; National Defense Education Act Loan Funds; private
banking, or other sources. Information may be secured by writing
to the Student Financial Aids Officer, Oglethorpe University. Con-
tinuing students should complete all arrangements for meeting
University requirements well in advance of registration so that
they will not be delayed.
All balances and new charges are payable at registration. Fail-
ure to make the necessary payments at registration will cause
the student to lose his place in the University. Students employ-
ing the College Aid Plan, or any other source of funds, are not
exempted from paying deposits by the deadline dates specified
in the University Bulletin.
Continuing students are not permitted to register until all
previous debts have been cleared with the Business Office.
Grades, transcripts, and diplomas are withheld until all accounts,
including institutional damages and fines, are paid in full.
Students should have sufficient funds to purchase books and

growing city in America, students can easily obtain part-time
work. There are also some opportunities on campus for employ-
ment in various jobs. Another function of this office is to aid our
students in getting positions upon graduation. A register is kept
of firms seeking our graduates, and every effort is made by the

level. (For example: freshman is 1; sophomore, 2, etc.) The
second and third digits designate the discipline. The fourth digit

or "4 + 4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester
hours of credit, respectively, for two semesters of work.
MAJORS PROGRAMS

sional requirements and allowable substitutions and alterna-
tives. Each major must complete the core requirements within
the scope of his interpretation by responsible departmental or
divisional advisors. In addition, each major must complete those
departmental and divisional requirements as may apply to the
