PURPOSE
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 repre-
sented 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, in-
cluding human nature and human associations; to learn to take
account of these notonlyfortheir own sake butfor growth, guid-
ance and direction for himself and others; to express his deepest
individualityintheworkorcalling mostappropriateto histalents;
and to discover his proper place, role, and function in the com-
plex 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 peo-
ple, 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.
10 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
Whereas it is usual for people to understand their fellows,
howmuch widershould be the sympathies of the educated man!
His contacts go beyond the living and embrace the seers of all
the ages, whoas his companions should inform his mind and en-
large his vision.
Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of
mastering rather than being mastered by the economic and sci-
entific forces atwork in ourworld. Creative brains and individual
initiative, tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility,
are the only sources of payrolls compatible with a free society,
and improving 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 educa-
tion, in order to be true to itself, must be a progressive experi-
enceforthe 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, butisaspiral 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 pro-
motes 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
forandgivescopetodiversified 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
community, 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-
supported university in the academic pattern of the nineteenth
century. 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 leader-
ship and, at the same time, gathered about him a faculty of
unusual ability, at least two of whom would achieve real distinc-
tion: James Woodrow, 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
graduates was the poet Sidney Lanier, a member of the Class
of 1860, who remarked shortly before his death that the great-
est intellectual 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 1860s as Oglethorpe became a casualty of war.
Her students marched away to become Confederate soldiers;
her endowment 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 seem-
ingly 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 northern edge of metropolitan Atlanta. The cornerstone
of the first building was laid in 1915 in a ceremony witnessed
12 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
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
developed a number of ideas and enterprises which brought
national, and even international, recognition to the school.
Most notable among these were the establishment of a cam-
pus radio station as early as 1 931 , and the completion in 1 940
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 ap-
proach to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe
Ideal' 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 toward these ends a program of studies
should be developed which made sense from first to last and
which meaningfully hung together.
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 University is sympathetic
toward all religions and encourages its students to affiliate
with a local church of their own choosing or synagogue, formal
support from church bodies was discontinued. Today Ogle-
thorpe stands as a wholly private and non-sectarian institution
of higher learning.
The College has also developed a program of physical ex-
pansion 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.
The new science center was completed during the fall of
1971 and houses the science and psychology departments.
Renovation of Lowry Hall for a new four-floor library facility
was completed in July of 1972 as was the renovation of Faith
Hall for a student infirmary and auxiliary services building.
HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY 13
Phoebe Hearst Hall was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a
classroom building. Most of the classes with the exception of
science and psychology are held in this building located di-
rectly across from Lupton Hall.
Lupton Hall, which contains all the administrative offices
on the lower level, first floor and second floor, was renovated
in early 1973. Students can find all the administrative offices
in this building, including the Office of the Dean, Dean of
Students, Registrar, Financial Aid and Placement, Admissions,
Business Office (lower level), Development Office (second
floor), and the President's Office (second floor).
Future plans for the development of the Oglethorpe phys-
ical plant include the addition of a Fine Arts Center and addi-
tions and renovations to the athletic complexes, including
Hermance Stadium.
To all of this, it may be finally added, Oglethorpe enjoys
the great asset of location in Atlanta one of the great metro-
politan centers of the South and one of the most rapidly devel-
oping 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 high-
way system being built through the region. With a metropolitan
population of well over a million, an ideal location in the foot-
hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a temperate climate
throughout the year, the city offers many attractions and cul-
tural 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
candidates 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 col-
lege 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 coun-
selors 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 Col-
lege 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 Col-
lege 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 counselors, 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 mate-
rials which must be submitted by the applicant. No application
can be considered and acted upon until the items indicated
have been received. Applications will be considered in order
of completion, 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 En-
trance Examination Board to submit their scores for possible
consideration toward college credit. The general policy of Ogle-
thorpe toward such scores is the following: academic credit will
begivenintheappropriateareatostudents presenting advanced
placement 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 un-
der the control of the College Entrance Examination Board, Box
592, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. General and subject exam-
inations 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 require-
ment is in effect, but may be reduced to one year by joint decision
ofthedeanandthechairmanofthedivision in which the student
will major. Therefore, two years of transfer work is the maximum
</ J

18 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
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.
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
to the admissions office 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
Atlanta, Georgia. After receiving the application form, the appli-
cant should complete and return it with an application fee of
$20; this fee is not refundable.
Entering freshmen must also submit the following: letter of
reference from a high school counselor or teacher; official
transcript of high school work; aptitude test scores; statement
of good health. Transfer students must submit the completed

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY 19
is not refundable, it is applicable toward tuition and fees as
stated in the acceptance letter.

office (404) 233-6864 or (404) 261-1441.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS
Oglethorpe University provides worthy students with oppor-
tunities to obtain assistance in financing their education. These
opportunities are provided under conditions which give a rea-
sonable guarantee to the applicants and to the University that
they will go to those persons best able to benefit from them.
The many sources of revenue made available to students are
Oglethorpe Merit Scholarships, Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant, National Direct Student Loans, United Student Aid Fund
Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants and the College Work
Study Program. The State of Georgia provides loans, scholar-
ships and grants to Georgia residents attending Georgia Private
Institutions. The Tuition Plan is available to parents who prefer
to pay for tuition and other academic fees on a monthly basis.
The loan programs mentioned above provide loans at small
interest rates. Except for loans, all assistance funds granted by
the Scholarship and Loan Committee are outright gifts to eligible
students. Other funds are made available to the Committee by
interested persons, groups and business firms from time to time.
The Oglethorpe Merit Scholarship Program is unique in that
scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit rather than
need and are made available to a great many more students
than traditional scholarship programs.
Oglethorpe Merit Scholarships are awarded in amounts of
$500, $700, $900 and $1 ,000 based on the applicant's Scholas-
tic Aptitude Test scores. Qualities of citizenship and potential
for success are also part of the basis for awarding these scholar-
ships. They are renewable annually based on the student's
grade point average for the previous year.
The J. MACK ROBINSON SCHOLARSHIP is an endowed
scholarship awarded annually by Atlanta businessman J. Mack
Robinson to a deserving student who meets the general qualifi-
cations of the Oglethorpe Merit Scholarship Program. Prefer-
ence is given to students majoring in Business Administration.
For further information regarding application procedures
and qualifications contact the Director of Financial Aid and
Placement, Oglethorpe University.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The University recognizes attendance at classes as the re-
sponsibility 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 reg-
ulations 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 require-
ments of a course are given an "I" (incomplete) at the end of
the following semester. If the requirements are met by mid-
semester of the next enrolled term, the "I" is replaced by a
regular grade. If they are not met within this time, the grade
automaticallybecomesan"F"Gradestructureand 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
I 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,
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.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 21
For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of min-
imum averages has been established. Freshmen are required
to maintain 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 follow-
ing: forty semester courses (or their equivalent for transfer
students) totaling at least 1 20 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 application 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.
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
22 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
of at least 2.2, are placed on probation for the following term.
If during that term they do not substantially improve their scho-
lastic average, 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
unless exempted for cause by the Dean of the College.
STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION
For administrative and other official and extra-official pur-
poses, students are classified according to the number of semester
hours successfully completed. Classification is as follows:
030 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 1 2 to 1 6 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 re-
duced 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
involved in an orientation program, under the general super-
vision of the Dean of Students. Orientation activities are planned
to introduce the student to both academic and social life at
Oglethorpe. Several traditional activities are also planned so
that the parents of new students can become familiar with the
personnel and purpose of the University. Orientation group
leaders from among the upperclassmen serve as guides and
counselors during the period. During the orientation program,
the student is assigned to a faculty advisor who aids him in
planning his academic program.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL CONDUCT AND
RESPONSIBILITY:
THE ROLE OF THE COLLEGE ANDTHE STUDENT
Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply
concerned with the total development of the individual as a
competent 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 ex-
pression of its confidence in each student's potential as a
human being; however, each student must be as willing to ac-
cept adult consequences as he is insistent upon being granted
adult freedom of decision and action.
Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowl-
edge and integrity are synonomous; therefore, a firm grasp
of academic 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 live by its regulations, should
not apply to the University for admission. Accepted students
who demonstrate their unwillingness to meet standards will be
terminated from the University.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL DRESS AND GROOMING
Institutions of higher education have their own personal-
ities; 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
26 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
private institution, he represents not only himself but also the
student body, the University, and in some measure, the commu-
nity in which the University has such deep roots.
The University takes the position that all students are ex-
pected 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.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES
All resident students are required to subscribe to the Stu-
dent Health and Insurance Plan provided by the 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 med-
ical assistance for students covered by the student in-
surance plan.
A physician visits the infirmary twice a week to make gen-
eral diagnosis and treatment. In the event additional or major
medical care is required, the student patient will be referred
to medical 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
situation, or other relationships at the University or in the
community, he will be requested to withdraw. Re-admission
to the University will be contingent upon acceptable verifica-
tion that the student is ready to return. The final decision will
rest with the University.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Valuable educational experiences may be gained through
active participation in approved campus activities and organiza-
tions. All students are encouraged to participate in one or
more organizations and to the extent that such involvement
does not deter them from high academic achievement. Stu-
dents are especially encouraged to join professional organiza-
tions associated with their interests and goals.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS
Oglethorpe University provides worthy students with oppor-
tunities to obtain assistance in financing their education. These
opportunities are provided under conditions which give a rea-
sonable guarantee to the applicants and to the University that
they will go to those persons best able to benefit from them.
The many sources of revenue made available to students are
Oglethorpe Merit Scholarships, Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant, National Direct Student Loans, United Student Aid Fund
Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants and the College Work
Study Program. The State of Georgia provides loans, scholar-
ships and grants to Georgia residents attending Georgia Private
Institutions. The Tuition Plan is available to parents who prefer
to pay for tuition and other academic fees on a monthly basis.
The loan programs mentioned above provide loans at small
interest rates. Except for loans, all assistance funds granted by
the Scholarship and Loan Committee are outright gifts to eligible
students. Other funds are made available to the Committee by
interested persons, groups and business firms from time to time.
The Oglethorpe Merit Scholarship Program is unique in that
scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit rather than
need and are made available to a great many more students
than traditional scholarship programs.
Oglethorpe Merit Scholarships are awarded in amounts of
$500, $700, $900 and $1 ,000 based on the applicant's Scholas-
tic Aptitude Test scores. Qualities of citizenship and potential
for success are also part of the basis for awarding these scholar-
ships. They are renewable annually based on the student's
grade point average for the previous year.
The J. MACK ROBINSON SCHOLARSHIP is an endowed
scholarship awarded annually by Atlanta businessman J. Mack
Robinson to a deserving student who meets the general qualifi-
cations of the Oglethorpe Merit Scholarship Program. Prefer-
ence is given to students majoring in Business Administration.
For further information regarding application procedures
and qualifications contact the Director of Financial Aid and
Placement, Oglethorpe University.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The University recognizes attendance at classes as the re-
sponsibility 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 reg-
ulations 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 "\NF" depending upon the circumstances
of the withdrawal. Students who do not meet all the require-
ments of a course are given an "I" (incomplete) at the end of
the following semester. If the requirements are met by mid-
semester of the next enrolled term, the "I" is replaced by a
regular grade. If they are not met within this time, the grade
automatically becomesan "F" Grade structure and quality points
are as follows:
A

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,
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.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 21
For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of min-
imum averages has been established. Freshmen are required
to maintain 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 follow-
ing: 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 application 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.
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
22 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
of at least 2.2, are placed on probation for the following term.
If during that term they do not substantially improve their scho-
lastic average, 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
unless exempted for cause by the Dean of the College.
STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION
For administrative and other official and extra-official pur-
poses, students are classified according to the number of semester
hours successfully completed. Classification is as follows:
030 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 1 2 to 1 6 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 re-
duced 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

average of 3.5, the degree cum laude; for a cumulative average
3.7, the degree magna cum laude; for a cumulative average of

STUDENT LIFE
ORIENTATION
At the beginning of each semester, new students will be
involved in an orientation program, under the general super-
vision of the Dean of Students. Orientation activities are planned
to introduce the student to both academic and social life at
Oglethorpe. Several traditional activities are also planned so
that the parents of new students can become familiar with the
personnel and purpose of the University. Orientation group
leaders from among the upperclassmen serve as guides and
counselors during the period. During the orientation program,
the student is assigned to a faculty advisor who aids him in
planning his academic program.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL CONDUCT AND
RESPONSIBILITY:
THE ROLE OFTHE COLLEGE ANDTHE STUDENT
Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply
concerned with the total development of the individual as a
competent 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 ex-
pression of its confidence in each student's potential as a
human being; however, each student must be as willing to ac-
cept adult consequences as he is insistent upon being granted
adult freedom of decision and action.
Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowl-
edge and integrity are synonomous; therefore, a firm grasp
of academic 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 live by its regulations, should
not apply to the University for admission. Accepted students
who demonstrate their unwillingness to meet standards will be
terminated from the University.
STANDARDS OF PERSONAL DRESS AND GROOMING
Institutions of higher education have their own personal-
ities; 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
26 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
private institution, he represents not only himself but also the
student body, the University, and in some measure, the commu-
nity in which the University has such deep roots.
The University takes the position that all students are ex-
pected 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.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES
All resident students are required to subscribe to the Stu-
dent Health and Insurance Plan provided by the 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 med-
ical assistance for students covered by the student in-
surance plan.
A physician visits the infirmary twice a week to make gen-
eral diagnosis and treatment. In the event additional or major
medical care is required, the student patient will be referred
to medical 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
situation, or other relationships at the University or in the
community, he will be requested to withdraw. Re-admission
to the University will be contingent upon acceptable verifica-
tion that the student is ready to return. The final decision will
rest with the University.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Valuable educational experiences may be gained through
active participation in approved campus activities and organiza-
tions. All students are encouraged to participate in one or
more organizations and to the extent that such involvement
does not deter them from high academic achievement. Stu-
dents are especially encouraged to join professional organiza-
tions associated with their interests and goals.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SEMESTER SYSTEM
Oglethorpe University operates under the semester system
during the academic year. Two summer sessions of five weeks
each, plus a ten week session in the evening make up the
summer schedule.
EVENING PROGRAM
As a service to the community, the University offers an even-
ing program covering three terms per year: one during each se-
mester and one during the summer. Classes meet two nights
each week (Monday and Wednesday; Tuesday and Thursday)
with three class periods each night. To qualify for the special
tuition rate given to evening students, a student must take all
his courses in the evening. A student taking any course during
the day will not be classified as an evening student.

a major in General Studies is offered. This program requires
completion of the core requirements and a sufficient number of
additional course hours to complete the total prescribed for a

General Studies. Because of its flexibility, the General Studies
program enables the student to concentrate in any selected
program offered by the University.

nity service in providing adult non-credit courses for interested
people in the community. It is Oglethorpe's desire to insure

DIVISION VI-GRADUATE STUDIES
IN
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
The program leading to the degree Master
of Arts in elementary education is not now
an accredited program. As with all beginning
graduate programs, the program must oper-
ate for a period of time before it is eligible for
accreditation and for subsequent considera-
tion for approval by the state department.
Graduates are eligible for T5 certification by
evaluation in Georgia. Oglethorpe is working
closely with the Southern Association of Col-
legesand Schools, has prior approval to begin
the program, and will be a candidate for final
accreditation in 1974.

94 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
THE GRADUATE DIVISION
ADMISSION
The Graduate Division is organized as one of the six academic
divisions of Oglethorpe University. It was created in 1970 upon
receipt from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
of initial approval for Oglethorpe to once again offer courses
leading to the master's degree. Under this authorization, the
Graduate Division offers the Master of Arts degree in elemen-
tary education.
The purposes of the graduate program are to provide well-
qualified students with the opportunity to obtain the first gradu-
ate degree, to provide members of the teaching profession
with the opportunity to enhance their competencies and knowl-
edge in the area of elementary education, including the oppor-
tunity for those teachers not desiring a graduate degree to
enhance their knowledge and skills. Inherent in the guiding
philosophy is the assumption that graduate study includes
more than the passing of prescribed courses and the meeting
of minimum requirements. Any student who receives a graduate
degree must possess a broad knowledge of the literature of
his field of study, be capable of sustained study, exhibit the
power of independent thinking, and possess reasonable knowl-
edge of the techniques of research.
All graduate work is administered by the Graduate Division,
which is governed by the Graduate Council under the policies
of the university. The Graduate Council is the policy-making
body chosen from the graduate faculty and administration,
under the leadership of the chairman of the Graduate Division.
Requirements Upon recommendation of the chairman of
the Graduate Council and approval of the Graduate Council,
a person holding a bachelor's degree from an accredited col-
lege or university may be admitted to the Graduate Division.
In addition to general requirements prescribed, the applicant
must submit transcripts of all previous work completed, sat-
isfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (Aptitude
Test), two recommendations (form provided) from previous
colleges attended and/or employers, and, when deemed nec-
essary, take validating examinations or preparatory work. Can-
didates not previously prepared for teaching must meet
requirements for first professional certification before comple-
ting requirements for the master's degree.
95
Procedure Application forms may be obtained from the
Office of Admissions of the University. Completed forms should
be returned to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible
but at least twenty days prior to the term in which the applicant
expects to enroll. These forms should be accompanied by a
$20.00 application fee (non-refundable). All material (completed
forms, fee, transcripts, and test scores) should be sent directly
to the Office of Admissions, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta,
Georgia 30319. To insure proper consideration, all documents
must be on hand at least twenty days prior to the proposed time
of enrollment. All documents become the property of the uni-
versity and will not be returned.
If an applicant does not choose to enter the Graduate
Division in the term indicated on his application, he should
notify the Office of Admissions of his plans and indicate a new
date of entrance, if applicable. Otherwise, the original admis-
sion will be cancelled, the file discontinued, and a new applica-
tion will be required for admission at a later date.
Admission to the Graduate Division does not imply ultimate
acceptance as a candidate for an advanced degree. For admis-
sion to candidacy, see the section ADMISSION TO
CANDIDACY.
Information concerning the administration of the Graduate
Record Examination may be obtained from the Office of Ad-
missions or by writing: Education Testing Service, Princeton,
New Jersey 08540.
Types of admission Students may be admitted to the Grad-
uate Division under any one of the following classifications:
1. Regular. A student who has a cumulative grade point
average of at least 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory scores
on the GRE and the recommendation of the chairman
of the Graduate Division, and who has completed all
prerequisites required for admission may be admitted
as a regular graduate student.
2. Provisional. A person failing to meet one or more of
the standards required for admission as a regular stu-
dent or a qualified senior may be admitted under condi-
tions specified at the time of admission by the chairman
of the Graduate Council and approved by the Graduate
Council. The provisionally admitted student may apply
to the chairman of the Graduate Division for reclass-
ification when the conditions have been met. Graduate
courses completed by the provisional student may be
96 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
counted toward a degree after the student has been
reclassified as a regular student.
A senior within six semester hours of completing re-
quirements for the bachelor's degree may be permitted
to enroll in courses for graduate credit provided that:
(1) he has the permission of the head of the education
department and the chairman of the Graduate Division,
(2) he is otherwise qualified for admission to graduate
study except for the degree, and (3) his total load in a
semester would not exceed fifteen semester hours.
Under no circumstances may a course be used for both
graduate and undergraduate credit.
Other
1 . Transient. A student in good standing in another recog-
nized graduate school who wishes to enroll in the
Graduate Division of Oglethorpe University and who
plans to return thereafter to the former institution may
be admitted as a transient graduate student. In lieu of
full transcripts and regular applications he must submit
a transient student application form completed by his
graduate dean listing specific courses to be taken for
credit. Any student admitted on this basis should under-
stand that his registration terminates as soon as he has
completed the work authorized by the institution from
which he is seeking a degree. If he later elects to seek
a degree from Oglethorpe University, he must make
formal application for admission and may petition to
have credit earned as a transient student applied toward
the degree at Oglethorpe University.
2. Unclassified. A degree holder who is not a prospective
candidate for a degree at Oglethorpe University, such
as a person seeking to meet certification requirements
(not applicable until final accreditation received) or local
school requirements, may be admitted without present-
ing test scores or recommendations. Credit earned by
a student in this category may be counted toward the
degree only with consent of the Graduate Council.
REGISTRATION
Procedure Registration dates for each term are listed on
page 3 of this publication. Several weeks before the beginning
of each term, students may obtain from the Registrar's Office
a schedule of classes for that particular term.
97
Courses and Loads Courses numbered 6000 are open
only to graduate students. Arts and Sciences courses with 4000
numbers carry either undergraduate or graduate credit; grad-
uate students, however, are expected to do more extensive
reading, prepare additional reports, and/or produce papers or
other projects requiring more extensive research.
The maximum course load for any graduate student is
fifteen credit hours persemesteror six credit hours in a summer
term. Any student serving as a graduate assistant must carry a
reduced load. A person working more than thirty hours per
week normally may not register for more than six hours credit
per semester. In all cases, the graduate student is urged to
register for only the number of hours which he can success-
fully complete.
ADVISEMENT
Upon admission to the Graduate Division, each student is
assigned to a member of the graduate faculty in education who
serves as advisor and guides the student in planning his program
of study.
GRADING SYSTEM
The quality of work of courses taken in the graduate program
is indicated by the marks A, B, C, and F. Grades of I and W are
reserved for special cases. Listed below are requirements for
each of these grades:
A Excellent, with four quality points for each credit hour
B Good, with three quality points for each credit hour
C Poor, with two quality points for each credit hour
F Unsatisfactory work or unofficial withdrawal
I Incomplete may be used if the student, because of un-
usual circumstances, is unable to complete the required
work in the prescribed time interval, provided he was
doing satisfactory work. Such a grade must be removed
by the completion of the work within one year or the I
becomes an F.
W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's
progress is interrupted by illness or other emergencies
which prevent his pursuing any course for which he is
registered.
