8 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

THE AIMS AND PURPOSE OF OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

Over a quarter of a century ago, the then president of
Oglethorpe University, Philip Weltner, wrote an introduction to
the catalog in which he expressed his ideas about the aims and
purposes of an educated man, and the aims and purposes of
the college.

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 but for growth, guid-
ance and direction for himself and others; to express his deepest
individualityintheworkor calling mostappropriate to his talents;
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 tothe
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.

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.

Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of
mastering rather than being mastered by the economic and sci-
entific forces at work in our world. 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
whocome 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-
enceforthelearner, in which interestgives 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 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
forand give scope todiversified 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.

Throughout the essay there is the pervasive theme that the
educated person takes his education out with him, and
involves his knowledge and understanding in his contacts with
others, in his private life, in his social life, and in his career. A
good education is one that pervades a life in all its facets, and
is not just, like fancy china, "good for Sundays only."

The post-World War II world has speeded up and changed
some of its values, but the Oglethorpe idea has not changed.

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY
10

We still feel that the aim of a good education is, as Dr. Weltner
put it, to enable our students to live "in community, with
human understanding." Our own community is a small one,
but small for more than just the pleasures that can ensue when
everybody knows everybody else. Our smallness enables us to
work together as a unit, to achieve a unity of goals, and to
grow together in our pursuit of them. At Oglethorpe one's
major or one's career goal is of less importance than one's
membership in an academic community dedicated to the
intelligent pursuit of the means to a better world. Our basic
core of required courses does more than give the student a
general overview of the world in which he lives, it gives him a
common background with his fellows, both in the student
body and the faculty, out of which, like a fertile soil, the
Oglethorpe community, ever changing, ever improving, can
grow and prosper.

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 1860's 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 1 944
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.

15

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

There are two testing programs through which students may
earn credit or exemption for required or elective courses.
These two programs are described below. Any student who
has questions about these examinations should consult the
Registrar. No more than sixty semester hours of credit will be
accepted through these programs.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM - CLEP

Within this testing program are two categories. The General
Examinations cover the areas of English Composition,
Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Sci-
ence - History. A maximum of thirty semester hours can be
earned with acceptable scores in the General Examinations.
Minimum acceptable scores are 500 for each general area and
50 in each sub-total category. The Subject Examinations are
designed to measure knowledge in particular courses.
Minimum acceptable scores of 50 in each subject exam are
required for credit.

ADVANCE 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 consideration toward college credit. The general
policy of Oglethorpe toward such scores is the following:
academic credit will be given in the appropriate area to
students 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.

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

16 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

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.

Oglethorpe University will accept as many as thirty hours of
United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credits. Stu-
dents with at least six months active military experience may
be granted three hours credit for that experience. If the
student serves for two years or more, he may receive six hours
credit.

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

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY 17

transcript of high school work; aptitude test scores; statement
of good health. Transfer students must submit the completed
application form with the $20.00 application fee (non-refund-
able), plus the following: letter of reference from the dean of
the college previously attended; official transcript of each col-
lege attended; a high school transcript if less than one full year of
college work has been completed; and a statement of good health.

When a student has completed the application process, the
Director of Admissions and the Admissions Committee will
review the application. Within two weeks, the applicant will be
notified of the committee's decision. If accepted, the student
will be required to submit an enrollment deposit to reserve ac-
commodations for the next term. Dormitory students must submit
a deposit of $200.00; day students-$ 1 00.00. While the deposit
is not refundable, it is applicable toward tuition and fees as
stated in the acceptance letter.

Additional information may be obtained by contacting the
Office of Admissions(404) 261-1441 or(404) 233-6864.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS

Oglethorpe University provides students with an opportunity
to obtain financial assistance for part of their educational
expenses. Students may receive several types of aid to make
up their "package" of financial assistance.

A financial aid package may include any one or more of the
following sources of assistance:

Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship are awarded in
amounts of $500, $700, $900, and $1 ,000. For freshmen, these
awards are based on the applicant's aptitude test scores (SAT
or ACT). For upperclassmen and transfer students, these
awards are based on the cumulative grade point average of the
applicant. Qualities of citizenship and potential for success
are also part of the basis for awarding these scholarships. The
OMAS 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.
Georgia Tuition Grants are available for Georgia residents
who attend Oglethorpe. The program was established by an
Act of the 1971 Georgia General Assembly. The Georgia Higher
Education Assistance Authority defines the program in this

18 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

way, "The purpose of the Act is to provide tuition assistance to
Georgia resident students who are desirous of pursuing their
higher education goals in a private Georgia college or
university, but find the financial costs prohibitive due primarily
to higher tuition of these educational institutions in compari-
son to public schools which are branches of the University
System of Georgia." All students must complete a yearly
application to verify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1974-75
school year, this grant was $200.00 per semester for full-time,
eligible students. No Parents Confidential Statement is
required for this program since family financial need is not a
factor in determining eligibility.

Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (B.E.O.G.) are a-
vailable for Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior students in
1975-76. The Basic Grant is a federal aid program intended to
be the floor in financial assistance. Eligibility is based upon a
family's financial resources. Applications for this program
may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid or from the
high school guidance office. This aid is administered in the
form of non-repayable grants. Applications for this program
must be filed prior to application for any other federal
program.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (S.E.O.G.) do
not require repayment. The size of the grant depends on the
need of the individual recipient. To qualify for an S.E.O.G., a
student must be from a family with "exceptional financial
need," must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment, and must
be capable of maintaining normal progress toward the
achievement of a degree. Application for these funds are made
by filing a Parents Confidential Statement.

National Direct Student Loans (N.D.S.L.), previously called
National Defense Student Loans, are long-term, low cost
educational loans to students who have a justified need for
such assistance. No interest is charged and repayment is
deferred while the borrower continues as a full-time student.
Interest is charged at a three per cent annual rate beginning
nine months after the borrower's education is terminated.
These loans are available to students who show a demonstrat-
ed financial need through the Parents Confidential Statement.
Students electing to serve in the Peace Corps, Vista, or in the
Armed Forces of the United States may be exempt from
interest charges and repayment for three years. Cancellation
benefits may be received by teaching in "poverty" areas that

ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY 19

are designated by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, for
teaching handicapped children, and for teaching in Head Start
programs.

College-Work Study Program (C.W.S.P.), permits the stu-
dent to earn part of his educational expenses. The earnings
from this program and other financial aid cannot exceed the
student's financial need. Students eligible for this program
work part-time on the Oglethorpe campus.

Georgia Higher Education Assistance Authority (G.H.E.
A. A.) loans and Federally Insured Student Loans (F.I.S.L.) are
long term loans available through banks, credit unions, and
other lending institutions. Students desiring to seek a loan in
this manner should consult with the Director of Financial Aid
for additional information.

Georgia Incentive Scholarship as defined by the Georgia
Higher Education Assistance Authority is a "program created
by an act of the 1974 Georgia General Assembly in. order to
establish a program of needs-based scholarships for qualified
Georgia residents to enable them to attend eligible post-
secondary institutions of their choice within the state. The
scholarship awards are designed to provide only a portion of
the student's resources in financing the total cost of
post-secondary education." Students who will be a freshman
or a sophomore, or a former member of the Armed Services in
1975-76 should obtain an application.

The application procedure for the Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, National Direct Student Loan, and College
Work Study Program is as follows:

1. Apply and be admitted as a regular student.

2. File a Parents Confidential Statement no later than May
1st, indicating that Oglethorpe University should receive
a copy. Independent students do not file a PCS; instead
they should apply directly to the Financial Aid Office.

3. Obtain a Basic Grant application and submit for
determination of eligibility. Upon receipt of eligibility
report send it to the Director of Financial Aid. All
applicants for aid must submit an application for a Basic
Grant.

4. Upon receipt of an official award letter, students must
notify the Office of Financial Aid of their plans for
enrollment and reserve accomodations by submitting
their advance deposit.

20 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

Students applying for the Georgia Incentive Scholarship and
Basic Educational Opportunity Grant will need to submit
separate applications which may be obtained from a high
school counselor or the Office of Financial Aid. Students
applying for the Oglethorpe Merit Award for Scholarship
should request an application from the Office of Financial Aid.
The application procedure for all other assistance programs
may be determined by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.

THE ESTELLE ANDERSON CROUCH SCHOLARSHIP is an
endowed scholarship awarded annually to an Oglethorpe
student who has achieved high academic standards and is
awarded without regard to financial need.

THE KATHRYN SHEPARD CROUCH SCHOLARSHIP is
another scholarship fund endowed by Mr. John W. Crouch,
'29, and is also awarded annually based upon academic
achievement.

THE WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST SCHOLARSHIP is an
endowed scholarship awarded annually to a deserving student
who has attained exceptional academic achievement. The
William Randolph Hearst Foundation, New York, established
the endowment to provide this scholarship in honor of Mr.
Hearst, one of the benefactors of Oglethorpe University.

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
qualifications of the Oglethorpe Merit Scholarship Program.
Preference is given to students majoring in Business
Administration.

THE RICHARD H. PRETZ MEMORIAL MUSIC SCHOLAR-
SHIP for applied lessons is awarded annually to a deserving
student based upon high academic achievement and accom-
plishment in music.

For further information regarding application procedures
and qualifications contact the Director of Financial Aid,
Oglethorpe University.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The University recognizes attendance at classes as the re-
sponsibility of the student. Students are held accountable for
ail 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
automatically becomesan "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

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.

22 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of
minimum 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.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR ALL BACHELOR'S DEGREES

1 . A minimum of 120 semester hours of which the last 60 must
be earned at Oglethorpe except in exceptional cases (see
page 15).

2. All core courses (or the equivalent for transfer students)
plus a major must be completed. Requirements for majors
in the various disciplines are listed under each section
dealing with the majors programs.

3. A minimum grade point average of 2.2 is necessary.

4. An application for a diploma must be filed with the Registrar
at least one semester prior to graduation.

5. The specific requirements for each degree must be
completed.

6. All obligations to the institution must be discharged before
a degree is granted including a diploma fee.

7. The student must be approved formally for graduation by
the faculty.

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for specific majors vary among the
disciplines. Detailed requirements are listed in the sections

ies), English, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Psy-
chology, Sociology. Under the Bachelor of Science, majors
programs are offered in the following areas: Biology,

Under certain conditons, 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. Students 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
of at least 2.2, are placed on probation for the following term.
Academic probation is a strong warning to the student that he
must make substantial progress toward restoring himself to
good standing during the following semester or be dismissed
from the University.

Evaluation of academic progress will normally be done at
the end of each academic year but freshmen will be evaluated
at mid year. Freshmen who receive the grade of F in all
subjects will be dismissed. Students who do not meet the
following minimum cumulative average scale will be dis-
missed for academic reasons:

Freshmen

1.0

Sophomores

1.4

Juniors

1.5

Seniors

1.6

Students who do not meet these minimum requirements at
the end of the academic year will be notified in writing of
deficiencies. An opportunity will be given to attend summer
school classes. If deficiencies are not corrected, the student
will be dismissed. All dismissals are subject to review by the
Faculty Council. A student who has been dismissed may be

24 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

reinstated only upon petition to the Faculty Council. A
petition may be filed with the registrar after an absence of one
semester.

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

any given semester except the summer term for an academic
load of at least five courses are given the distinction of being

25
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.

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY STUDENT ASSOCIATION

Undergraduate life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of
a democratic community; student government is mainly
self-government. Oglethorpe University Student Association,
Consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treas :
urer, and Parliamentarian of OUSA and the Presidents of the
four classes, is the guiding and governing organization of
student life at the University. Meetings are held regularly and
notice posted. All students are urged to attend.

COMMITTEES

In order to serve the many varied interests of the student

27

body, there are four committees for the purpose of planning
activities in their particular area.

1. Academic Committee

2. Social Committee

3. Athletic Committee

4. Arts Committee

All students are welcome to serve on any of the above
committees and on the student senate. All officers and
chairmen can be contacted by writing:

O.S.A.

Atlanta, Georgia 30319

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Valuable educational experiences may be gained through
active participation in approved campus activities and organi-
zations. 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.
Students are especially encouraged to join professional
organizations associated with their interests and goals.

sity's activities and organizations:

nated by a four digit number. The first digit indicates the course
level. (For example: freshman is 1; sophomore, 2, etc.) The
second and third digits designate the discipline. The fourth digit
indicates the course number within that discipline. Each level
of offerings assumes the earlier completion of necessary pre-
requisites. The number of hours refers to the semester hours
credit per term allowed for the course. The designation "3 + 3"
or "4 + 4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester
hours of credit, respectively, for two semesters of work.

ACCOUNTING

The primary objective of the program in accounting is to
prepare men and women for responsible accounting positions
in industry, government, and public accounting. The field of
accountancy is dynamic and challenging. Therefore, prepara-
tion for accounting positions requires a broad understanding of
general business situations as well as a thorough knowledge of
the general field of accounting. To prepare students to meet
and master the changing field of accounting, a forward-looking
undergraduate accounting curriculum has been designed. The
program is based upon a common core of courses which
examines the functions and the environment of business or-
ganizations. Beyond this core, the student may choose to study
any of several related subjects in business administration and
economics. No grade less than "C" in Accounting or other Busi-
ness courses may be considered in meeting the requirements

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-
leges and Schools, has prior approval to begin
the program, and will be a candidate for final
accreditation in 1974.

THE GRADUATE DIVISION

The Graduate Division offers work leading to the degree
Master of Arts in elementary education. Completion of the
master's program requires the following steps:

1. Full admission to the Graduate Division.

2. Admission to Candidacy. Apply after completion of 12
semester hours graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

3. Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive final exam-
ination. Apply after completion of all required courses
but not sooner than one semester prior to expected
graduation.

4. Completion of 36 semester hours approved credit. Appli-
cation for diploma should be made during semester prior
to anticipated completion of degree requirements.

Organization-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 elementary education.

The purposes of the graduate program are to provide
well-qualified students with the opportunity to obtain the first
graduate degree, to provide members of the teaching profes-
sion with the opportunity to enhance their competencies and
knowledge in the area of elementary education, including the
opportunity 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 knowledge 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.
Admission Requirements Upon recommendation of the

95

chairman of the Graduate Council and approval of the
Graduate Council, a person holding a bachelor's degree from
an accredited college 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, satisfactory scores on the Graduate
Record Examination (Aptitude Test), two recommendations
(form provided) from previous colleges attended and/or
employers, and, when deemed necessary, take validating
examinations or preparatory work. Candidates not previously
prepared for teaching must meet requirements for first
professional certification before completing requirements for
the master's degree.

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

96 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

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
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

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 Registrars Office
a schedule of classes for that particular term.

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 per semester or 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
servesasadvisorandguidesthestudentin planning his program
of study.

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

98 OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

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.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Candidates for the master's degree must meet the following
academic standards:

1 . The student's overall grade point average for work sub-
mitted in a graduate program must be 3.0 or higher.

2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satis-
factory academic standards, his record shall be reviewed
by the Graduate Council to determine whether or not
he shall be allowed to continue in a graduate program.

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY

Application for admission to candidacy would be given or
refused following an examination of the overall work of the
student and careful review of his completed work at Oglethorpe.
Application for the Master of Arts degree in elementary educa-
tion must be filed with the chairman of the Graduate Division

study at Oglethorpe University. Admission to candidacy would
be given or refused following an examination of the overall
record at Oglethorpe of the student and careful review of his
completed work. Notice of action taken on application for ad-
mission to candidacy would be given in writing to the student
and to his advisor. The student seeking the Master of Arts
degree in elementary education must furnish certification by

for first professional certification or he must include appropriate
make-up work in his program.

year period. It is expected that the student will complete his
program with reasonable continuity. Students called into mil-
itary service may apply for an extension of time.

of six semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred
from another accredited institution subject to the following
conditions: (1) transfer credit will not be considered prior to
admission tocandidacy; (2) work already applied toward another
degree cannot be accepted; (3) work must have been com-
pleted within the six year period allowed for the completion
of degree requirements; (4) work must have been applicable
toward a graduate degree at the institution where the credit
was earned; (5) work offered for transfer must have the approval
of the Graduate Division; and (6) acceptance of the transfer
credit does not reduce the residence requirement.

spondence work be applied toward satisfaction of degree
requirements.

dates for the master's degree at or about the time all other
requirements have been met. The following regulations govern
the administration of the comprehensive examination:
