PURPOSE / 7

PURPOSE

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

The Oglethorpe idea is to forge the strongest possible link be-
tween the "academic" and "practical," between "human under-
standing" and "know-how," between "culture" and "proficiency,"
between past and present. We are persuaded that there is ulti-
mately no contradiction between the concepts represented in each
of these usually divorced pairs.

There can be no basic disagreement among educators and
laymen about the common elements of the student's real needs
and interests. He is to learn as much as possible about the princi-
ples, forces, and laws influencing or governing Nature, including
human nature and human associations; to learn to take account of
these not only for their own sake but for growth, guidance and
direction for himself and others; to express his deepest individual-
ity in the work or calling most appropriate to his talents; and to
discover his proper place, role, and function in the complex rela-
tionships 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 institution of society,
has a social obligation. It cannot neglect either the individual or
the community without damage to both. The social order at its best
is best for the individual; the individual at his best is best for
society. The business of education is to strive for this optimum.

What difference should an education make? There are people,
deficient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful. They
understand and get along well with their neighbors. They are an
influence for good in their community and earn a living by honest
effort. Any truly educated man displays the same traits. The differ-
ence 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.

8 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of
mastering rather than being mastered by the economic and scien-
tific forces at work in our world. Creative brains and individual
initiative, tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility, are
the only sources of payrolls compatible with a free society, an
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 education, in
order to be true to itself, must be a progressive experience for the
learner, in which interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry is pursued to
mastery, and mastery at one point occasions new interests in
others. The cycle is never closed, but is a spiral which always
returns upon itself at some higher level of insight. Growth in
everything which is human must remain the dominant objective
for the individual and for society.

We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense
from first to last, which hangs together, and which promiotes this
desired result. Not only in professional training but also in the
education of the human personality, the materials of instruction
must have a beginning, point in a definite direction, and prepare
for all that ensues. We necessarily make provision for and give
scope to diversified talents in preparation for varied careers. But
this much we all have in common: each man has to live with
himself and all have to live with their fellows. Living in 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 educa-
tion 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. We still feel

PURPOSE / 9

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 / 11

HISTORY

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 univer-
sity 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 stead-
ily grew in stature and influence. Its president during most of that
time, Samuel K. Talmage, provided gifted leadership and, at the
same time, gathered about him a faculty of unusual ability, at least
two of whom would achieve real distinction: James 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 greatest
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 con-
verted to military use as a barracks and hospital. In a sense, her
fate became bound up with that of the Lost Cause.

After the close of the conflict an effort was made to revive the
institution, first at Midway and then by re-location in Atlanta.
However, the ravages of war, together with the dislocations of
Reconstruction, posed obstacles too great to overcome, and in 1872
Oglethorpe closed its doors for a second, and seemingly final,
time.

But four decades later, thanks largely to the determined energy
and vision of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, the school was revived, char-
tered 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 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

12 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

even international, recognition to the school. Most notable among
these were the establishment of a campus radio station as early as
1931, and the completion in 1940 of the Crypt of Civilization to
preserve for posterity a cross-section of twentieth-century life.

Still a new era opened in the history of Oglethorpe in 1944 when
Dr. Philip Weltner assumed the presidency and, with a group of
faculty associates, initiated a new and exciting approach to un-
dergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." As de-
scribed 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 an-
swering 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 or synagogue of their own choosing, formal support from
church bodies was discontinued. Today Oglethorpe stands as a
wholly private and non-sectarian institution of higher learning.

The College has also developed a program of physical expan-
sion to keep pace with its academic growth. Five new dormitories
and a new student union building were opened in the spring of
1968. The new complex was 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.

Phoebe Hearst Hall was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a
classroom building. Most of the classes with the exception of sci-
ence and psychology are held in this building located directly
across from Lupton Hall.

Lupton Hall, which contains all the administrative offices, was
renovated in early 1973. Students can find the Office of the Dean,
Registrar, Financial Aid, Admissions, on the first floor; the Busi-
ness Office on the lower level; and the Office of University Ad-
vancement, Alumni Office, Dean of Students, Office of Counseling
and Placement, Dean of Administration, and the President's Office
on the second floor.

HISTORY / 13

Future plans for the development of the Oglethorpe physical
plant include the addition of a Fine Arts Center and additions 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 metropolitan
centers of the South and one of the most rapidly developing in the
nation. A city blending the graciousness of the Old South with the
social progress of the New, Atlanta is a key center of transportation
for the entire Southeast, with excellent service by air, rail, and bus;
it is also a hub of the modern highway system being built through
the region. With a metropolitan population of well over a million,
an ideal location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a
temperate climate throughout the year, the city offers many attrac-
tions and cultural opportunities to the Oglethorpe undergraduate
as a part of his whole development.

16 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

LUPTON HALL

Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas
Lupton, was one of the three original buildings on the present
Oglethorpe University campus. It was renovated in 1973, and
contains all administrative offices and an auditorium with seating
for three hundred and fifty persons. The University Business Office
is located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the Office of the Dean,
the Registrar, and Admissions and Financial Aid are on the first
floor; the Office of the President, Dean of Administration, Dean of
Students, Office of Student Counseling and Placement, Office of
University Advancement and Alumni Office are on the second
floor. The third floor is the site of the E.L.S. Language Center,
which was opened in September, 1975. Classrooms, offices, and a
lounge occupy the third floor area. The language laboratory and
the reading laboratory are located on the second floor.

The original cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has been
re-fitted and re-hung. It now has forty-two bells which chime the
quarter hours and a daily afternoon concert.

PHOEBE HEARST HALL

Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in 1915 and is in the neo-Gothic
architecture that dominates the Oglethorpe Campus. The building
is named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the mother of
William Randolph Hearst, Sr.

It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty
office building. Most classes with the exception of science and
psychology are held in this building which is located directly
across from Lupton Hall. Additional renovation for a student-
faculty lounge and an expanded computer center was completed
in 1975.

The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall,
the site of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Also
located in the gound floor of the building is the much-publicized
Crypt of Civilization. This time capsule was sealed on May 28,
1940, with many components of American culture sealed within. It
is not to be opened until May 28, 8113.

GOSLIN HALL

This new science center was completed during the fall of 1971
and houses the science and psychology departments.
Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and modern lee-

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS / 17

ture halls, are located in the building. Goslin Hall was named in
honor of Dr. Roy N. Goslin, Professor of Physics and senior
member of the Oglethorpe faculty, for his many years of dedicated
work for the college and for the nation.

TRAER HALL

Built in 1 969, Traer Hall is a three story women's residence which
houses 168 women. Construction of the building was made possi-
ble through the generosity of the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe
University alumnus of the Class of 1928. These accommodations
provide for semi-private rooms. All rooms open onto a central
plaza courtyard. As all buildings on the Oglethorpe campus, Traer
Hall is completely air-conditioned.

GOODMAN HALL

Goodman Hall was built in 1956 and renovated in 1970, when it
was transformed from a men's into a women's residence hall. The
building contains twenty-seven rooms and is used to house Junior
and Senior women students. Private rooms are available. Located
adjacent to Goodman Hall are three newly resurfaced tennis
courts (1975).

MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL COMPLEX

Five men's residence halls are situated around the upper quad-
rangle. Two of the buildings were named for former Oglethorpe
presidents, Dr. Philip Weltner and Dr. Thornwell Jacobs. Con-
structed in 1968, these buildings were refurbished and carpeted in
1975. The three story structures house all male resident students.

FAITH HALL -

The campus infirmary is housed on the upper level of Faith Hall,
together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of
Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility. The building was
renovated in 1972 to include overnight facilities for students in the
infirmary.

FIELD HOUSE

The Field House is used for inter-collegiate basketball, in-
tramural and recreational sports, and large campus gatherings
such as concerts and commencement exercises. Built in 1960, this

18 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

structure is scheduled for major renovation in late 1975 or 1976.
Adjacent to the Field House are three championship tennis courts.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

The most recent renovation and construction on the campus is
the addition of a six-lane, all-weather, reslite track which was
dedicated in May, 1975. Also completed in 1975 was the resurfac-
ing of Anderson Field in historic Hermance Stadium. These im-
provements provide modern facilities for the baseball, soccer and
track teams. The intramural football and softball teams use these
new facilities as well.

ADMISSION / 19

ADMISSION

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 college work expected at Oglethorpe. In
making its judgments, the Committee considers the nature of the
student's high school program, his grades, the recommendations
of his counselors and teachers, and his scores on aptitude tests.

The candidate for admission as a freshman must present a
satisfactory high school program. In addition, he must submit
satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College
Entrance Examination Board, or American College Test. (Scores of
the Florida and Iowa State Tests will be acceptable if the applicant
has taken one of these as a result of statewide policy.)

It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College
Test or Scholastic Aptitude Test as early as possible during his
senior year in high school. Details concerning the program can be
obtained from high school 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. I.
08540.

The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials
which must be submitted by the applicant. No application can be
considered and acted upon until 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.

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 ques-
tions about these examinations should consult the Registrar. Up to
sixty semester hours of credit will be accepted through these pro-
grams.

20 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION
PROGRAM CLEP

Within this testing program are two categories. The General
Examinations cover the areas of Enghsh Composition,
Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Science-
History. A maximum of thirty semester hours can be earned with
acceptable scores in the General Examinations. Minimum ac-
ceptable 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 considera-
tion toward college credit. The general policy of Oglethorpe to-
ward such scores is the following: academic credit will be given in
the appropriate area to students presenting advanced placement
grades of 5; exemption but not credit will be given in the appro-
priate 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 place-
ment 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 notified of the
decision of the Admissions Committee in the regular way.

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses
comparable to university courses 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 com-
pleted with a grade of "C" or better.

ADMISSION / 21

Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree
at an accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit.
The remaining two years of academic credit will be determined by
the Dean of the College in consultation with the Registrar, the
appropriate department chairman, and the student. Junior college
graduates with strong academic records are encouraged to apply
for admission. All financial aid awards are open to transfer stu-
dents as well as new freshmen.

Oglethorpe University will accept as many as thirty hours of
United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credits. Students 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 max-
imum 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, provided that they secure permission from the dean of
their original institution certifying that the institution will accept for
transfer credit the academic work done by the student at Ogle-
thorpe. This permission is the responsibility of the transient stu-
dent.

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS

Admission to Oglethorpe is not restricted to recent high school
graduates and transfer students. The University attempts to fulfill
its responsibility to the entire community by offering admission to
non-traditional students. Students with a high school diploma, or
its equivalent, who have not been enrolled during the last five
years are exempt from taking the traditional entrance examina-
tions. Also, those persons who hove never completed their under-
graduate degrees and wish to resume their study after an ex-
tended absence are encouraged to apply.

Admission is offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms.
Interviews are required to determine the special needs of these
students. Personal counseling is available to avoid unnecessary

22 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

difficulties and to promote the development of the students. Each
person has an individual plan according to his special needs and
interests.

The University is able to offer admission to non-traditional stu-
dents by recognizing their strengths in enthusiasm, motivation,
and maturity.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students from all
nations. Students who are able to give evidence of suitable
academic background, adequate financial resources, and seri-
ousness of purpose are eligible to apply.

ELS LANGUAGE CENTER

In September of 1975, English Language Services (ELS) and
Oglethorpe University opened an on-campus English language
center. The ELS Language Center offers intensive four- week ses-
sions teaching English as a second language to college-bound
international students, businessmen, and professionals. Students
enroll in one or more sessions depending upon knowledge of
English, aptitude for the language, and desire for proficiency.
Residence hall facilities are available to all ELS students.

Additional information may be obtained by writing Director,
ELS Language Center, Oglethorpe University, 4484 Peachtree,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30319.

MARINE OFFICER PROGRAM

Oualiiied students may apply for an officer program leading to a
commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine
Corps. Commissions are offered in both ground and aviation
components. The Platoon Leaders Course (PLC) is offered to
freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who attend pre-
commissioning training during the summer. Financial Assistance
and Flight Indoctrination Programs are available. Qualified
seniors attend twelve weeks of training in the Officer Candidate
Course (OCC) after graduation. For details, contact the Place-
ment Office or the Marine Officer Selection Officer.

ADMISSION / 23

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

PROGRAMS

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 "pack-
age" of financial assistance.

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

Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship (O.M.A.S.) 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
O.M.A.S. 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 (G.T.G.) are available for Georgia resi-
dents 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 way,
"The purpose of the Act is to provide tuition assistance to Georgia
resident students who are desirous of pursuing their higher educa-
tion goals in a private Georgia college or university, but find the
financial costs prohibitive due primarily to higher tuition of these
educational institutions in comparison 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 1975-76 school year, this grant is $200.00 per semester. 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 avail-
able for freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students in
1976-77. 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 ob-
tained from the Office of Financial Aid or from a 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.

26 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSnY

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 main-
taining normal progress toward the achievement of a degree.
Application for these funds is made by filing a Parents' Confiden-
tial Statement.

National Direct Student Loans (N.D.S.L.), previously called Na-
tional Defense Student Loans, are long-term, low cost educational
loans to students who have justified need for such assistance. No
interest is charged and repayment is deferred while the borrower
continues as a half-time student. Interest is charged at a three per
cent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower's edu-
cation is terminated. These loans are available to students who
show a demonstrated financial need through the Parents' Confi-
dential 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 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 students to
earn part of the educational expenses. The earnings from this
program and other financial aid cannot exceed the student's fi-
nancial 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.LS.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 (G.I.S.), as defined by the
Georgia Higher Education Assistance Authority, is a "program
created by an act of the 1 974 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 freshmien, sophomores, juniors, or former members of
the Armed Services in 1976-77, should obtain an application.

The Pickett and Hatcher Educational Fund was created by the

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE / 27

late Claud Adkins Hatcher of Columbus, Georgia, founder of the
internationally known Royal Crown Cola Company and its pre-
decessors, of which he served as president for more than twenty-
five years. Mr. Hatcher was vitally interested in the welfare of his
fellow man, and considered a sound educational background a
prime requisite for intelligent young men and women. It was his
desire to see these young people develop into responsible citizens
and leaders in their communities and their country.

In his will, Mr. Hatcher created a trust and stated that the
Trustees would receive the monies and assets bequeathed to be
used "as an educational fund to be called 'Pickett and Hatcher
Educational Fund' (by this name to honor the memory of my
deceased associate in business, DeWitt C. Pickett). " His will further
stipulated that the money would be loaned and that the trust
created would constitute a revolving fund. As loans are repaid, the
principal and interest are again loaned for like purposes.

Since Mr. Hatcher's death in 1933, thousands of young men and
women have benefited from the trust he created, using the funds to
obtain a college education. By returning the available money to its
original source, the fund is constant always ready to provide
fresh incentive to new generations of deserving students.

The Trustees of the fund serve in a fiduciary capacity only. The
money actually belongs to deserving young people of the present
and future who want a college education. These young people are
beneficiaries who receive not only opportunities for a college edu-
cation, but a trust to use those funds for educational expenses and
then return them for the benefit of others.

An informational brochure on this program may be obtained by
writing to the Office of Financial Aid.

Ty Cobb Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. Only
students who are residents of Georgia and who have completed at
least one year of "B" quality or higher work in an accredited
college are eligible to apply for Cobb Scholarships. No applica-
tions from undergraduate students who are married will be con-
sidered.

Although scholarships will be granted only to students who are
residents of Georgia, a student may be given a scholarship for the
purpose of enabling him to attend a college or university in
another state.

Ordinarily a scholarship will be granted only for the purpose of
enabling a student to pursue a program of undergraduate study.
In cases of unusual merit, however, the Board of the Cobb Founda-
tion may, if it sees fit, award a scholarship for the purpose of
providing financial assistance for professional study.

28 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

Additional information may be secured from the Director of
Financial Aid.

The Knights Templar Educational Foundation is a loan fund
which is owned and controlled by the Grand Encampment of
Knights Templar of the United States of America, founded to ren-
der financial aid to deserving students who in the first two years of
college have indicated by their records that they are worthy to
complete the junior and senior years. The Grand Commandery of
each state is a division of the national Foundation and has full
control in serving students residing within its own jurisdiction.

The Fund thus established is a Revolving Fund. Each applicant
for assistance must understand and agree that any sum borrowed
is to be repaid promptly according to terms specified, in order that
others may be assisted. Each student aided thus renders service to
another and becomes a part of the co-operative plan. No loans will
be made where this condition is not understood and accepted.

Additional information may be secured from the Office of Finan-
cial Aid.

United Student Aid Funds is a not-for-profit corporation which
endorses low-cost loans made by participating hometown finan-
cial institutions to deserving students.

United Student Aid Funds' programs bring together the
student's public-spirited hometown financial institution (which
makes the loan at less than the customary interest rate for install-
ment loans) and the student's school or other sponsors (which
provide part of the reserve fund).

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY

In order for a student to receive financial aid from one semester
to another it is necessary for the student to be in "good academic
standing. " For freshmen a 1 . cumulative grade point average will
be necessary to continue receiving assistance, while sophomores
must have a 1.4, juniors 1.5 and seniors 1.6. The total number of
hours attempted will be used in the classification of eligible ap-
plicants. All financial aid recipients will be expected to enroll and
complete a minimum of twelve hours per semester. Failure to
obtain twenty-four hours during an academic year may result in a
reduction of aid for the academic year.

To renew an Oglethorpe Merit Award for Scholarship, a student
must attain a substantially higher grade point average. Annual
renewals are based on the applicant's cumulative grade point
average. In addition, twenty-four semester hours must be com-
pleted in the scholastic year prior to renewal.

FEES AND COSTS

Students and parents desiring to pay expenses in installments
are advised to investigate their lending institutions or other
sources. Information may be secured by writing to the Office of
Financial Aid, Oglethorpe University. Continuing students should
complete all arrangements well in advance of registration so that
they will not be delayed.

All balances and new charges are payable two weeks prior to
registration. Failure to make the necessary payments will cause
the student to lose his place in the University. Students employing
the Tuition Plan, Inc., or any other source of funds, are not
exempt from paying deposits by the deadline dates.

The applicant, upon receipt of notice of acceptance, should
forward an advance deposit of $200 by the date specified in the
acceptance letter. One half of this deposit will be credited to the
student's account in the Fall semester. One half will be applied to
the account in the Spring semester. It is not refundable. Continu-
ing resident students are required to pay $200 advance deposit
at the time of early registration for the Fall term. Registration is
therefore contingent upon the deposit being paid. A $100 advance
deposit is required of commuting students.

Tuition and Fees $2,386.00

Room and Board $1,200.00

The only standard charges not included in the comprehensive
fee are the following:

1. STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE: Health insurance is han-
dled separately since it is deductible on personal income tax
returns. The cost is approximately $29.50 per year. This
health insurance is mandatory for all resident students.
Payment for this policy is due upon registration in the fall.
There is also an optional major medical policy for approxi-
mately $1 1.00 per year.

2. GRADUATING SENIOR: Diploma fee of $15.00.

3. DAMAGE DEPOSIT: A $100.00 damage deposit is required of
all boarding students. The damage deposit is refundable at

returned and the required check-out procedure completed
prior to issuance of damage deposit refunds. This deposit is
payable at Fall registration.

34 / OGLCTHORPE UNIVERSITY

4. ACTIVITY FEE: A $60.00 annual student activity fee is
charged to all full time students, payable $30.00 each semes-
ter. This fee partially funds the yearbook, concerts, plays and
events, subject to increase without notice by OUSA.

5. POST OFFICE BOX: There is an annual rental fee of $3. 00 for
a post office box for resident students. This is payable at Fall
registration.

The semester tuition, after half of the advance deposit has been
credited, is due before registration day. The payment schedule is
as follows:

*Dormitory Students Non-Dormitory Students

Fall Semester $1,793.00 $1,193.00

Spring Semester $1,793.00 $1,193.00

*Includes room and board.

PART-TIME FEES

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the Fall or
Spring semesters will be charged on a per hour basis. This rate is
$85.00 per semester hour. This rate is applicable to those students
taking eleven semester hours or less. Students taking twelve to
sixteen hours are classified full time.

EVENING SCHOOL FEES

Students who are enrolled as evening school students will be
charged on a special credit hour basis. This rate is $50.00 per
semester hour. To qualify for this special tuition rate during the Fall
and Spring semesters, a student must take all courses in the eve-
ning. All four-hour lab courses include an additional $15.00

FINANCES / 35

WITHDRAWAL, DROP/ADD

Students who find it necessary to drop courses or add courses
must secure a drop/add form in the Registrar's Office. The form is
the only means by which a student may change his enrollment. A
drop/add form must be completed in the Registrar's Office during
drop/add week. After the seventh day of classes the professor must
approve the change in schedule. The professor may issue one of
the following grades: withdraw passing (G), withdraw failing
(H), or may refuse to approve a drop. In order to receive a refund
the class must have been dropped by the end of the twentieth class
day.

Students should note that any change of academic schedule
must be cleared by the Registrar's Office. The date the change is
received in the Registrar's Office will be the official date for the
change.

If a student is in need of withdrawing from school an official
withdrawal form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of
the College and the Director of Financial Aid must sign the with-
drawal form. The date the completed withdrawal form is turned in
to the Registrar will be the official date for withdrawal.

REFUNDS

The establishment of a refund policy is based on the University's
commitment to a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other
charges assessed. While the University advances this policy, it
should not be interpreted as a policy of convenience for students to
take lightly their responsibility and their commitment to the Uni-
versity. The University has demonstrated a commitment by admit-
ting and providing the necessary programs for each student and
feels the student must also demonstrate a commitment in his
academic program.

The student insurance payment is a non-refundable charge
which is paid directly to the insurance company under contract
with the University. Since the coverage begins on the payment
date and the fee is not retained by the University, it will not be
refunded after registration day. A $100 fee will be retained by
Oglethorpe as a processing fee when a student withdraws; all
other fees except the advance deposit (i.e., activity fee, post office
box, tuition, room and board) are subject to the refund schedule.

The date which will be used for calculation of a refund for
withdrawal or drop/add will be the date on which the Registrar
receives the official form signed by all required personnel. All
students must follow the procedures for withdrawal and drop/add

36 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

in order to receive a refund. Students are reminded that all
changes in their academic program must be cleared through the
Registrar; an arrangement with a professor will not be recognized
as an official change of schedule.

All tuition refund requests will be processed at the conclusion of
the fourth week of classes. Payment will take a minimum of two
weeks, but will be no longer than forty days.

Refund Schedule

By the end of the 7th class day . . .80%
By the end of the 10th class day . .60%
By the end of the 15th class day . .40%
By the end of the 20th class day . .20%
After the twentieth day of class, no refund will
be granted.

In order to equitably administer the refund policy there will be
no exceptions.

Damage deposit refunds will be processed once each semester
for students and will be mailed on an announced day from the
Business Office. No refund will be processed until classes have
ceased for the semester in progress.

STUDENT LIFE / 39

STUDENT LIFE

ORIENTATION

At the beginning of each semester, new students will be in-
volved in an orientation program, under the general supervision
of the Dean of Students. Orientation activities are planned to
introduce the student to both academic and social life at
Oglethorpe. Several traditional activities are also planned so that
the parents of new students can become familiar with the person-
nel 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 as-
signed to a faculty advisor who aids him in planning his academic
program.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply con-
cerned 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 expression of its confidence in
each student's potential as a human being; however, each student
must be as willing to accept adult consequences as he is insistent
upon being granted adult freedom of decision and action.

Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowledge
and integrity are synonymous; 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 termi-
nated from the University.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Undergraduate life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of a
democratic community; student government is mainly self-
government. The Oglethorpe University Student Association, con-
sisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and
Parliamentarian of O.S. A. and the Presidents of the four classes, is

40 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

the guiding and governing organization of student life at the Uni-
versity. Meetings are held regularly and notice posted. All stu-
dents are urged to attend. Additional information may be
obtained from O.S.A., Box 458, 3000 Woodrow Way, Atlanta,
Georgia 30319.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Valuable educational experiences may be gained through ac-
tive 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. Students are espe-
cially encouraged to join professional organizations associated
with their interests and goals.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

University social fraternities were re-instituted at Oglethorpe in
1967; sororities followed in 1968. At present four fraternities and
one sorority contribute to the Greek system at Oglethorpe.

The four fraternities are Chi Phi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, and Kappa Alpha. The sorority is Chi Omega.

These social organizations contribute substantially to the
spiritual and social betterment of the individual and develop col-
lege into a richer, fuller experience. Membership in these organi-
zations is voluntary and subject to regulations imposed by the
groups, the University Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic
Council, or by the Student Government Association.

ATHLETICS

Oglethorpe University competes in the following intercollegiate
competition: basketball, baseball, track, cross country, soccer,
and tennis.

In addition to the intercollegiate competition, a well rounded
program of intramural sports is offered and has strong participa-
tion by the student body.

COUNSELING

The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides professional
assistance to students encountering personal difficulties. The ser-
vice is available to all students at no cost. Vocational and career
planning services are also available.

PLACEMENT

The Career Placement Office serves two main purposes. The
first area of assistance helps students find part time employment
while attending Oglethorpe. A bulletin board in the Placement
Office contains all current job needs, part or full time. The second
purpose of the office is to aid graduating seniors in finding em-
ployment in the field of their choice. The office keeps contact with
many local businesses and industries for the purpose of arranging
employment interviews for seniors.

HOUSING

The residence halls are available to all full time students. There
are five men's residence halls and two women's halls. Both com-

42 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

plexes have a Resident Director and a staff of student Resident
Assistants.

All students living in the residence halls are required to partici-
pate in the University meal plan. Meals are served in the Univer-
sity Center. Meal tickets are issued at registration.

HEALTH SERVICE

All resident students are required to subscribe to the Student
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 medical assistance
for students covered by the student insurance plan.

A physician visits the infirmary twice a week to make general
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 situa-
tion, 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 verification that the student is
ready to return. The final decision will rest with the University.

"O" BOOK

The O Book is the student handbook of Oglethorpe University. It
contains thorough information on the history, customs, traditional
events, and services of the University, as well as all University
regulations. This publication provides all the necessary informa-
tion about the University which will aid each student in his adjust-
ment to college life.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS / 47

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The University recognizes attendance at classes as the respon-
sibility of the student. Students are held accountable for all work
missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is determined by
each instructor for his own courses. Such regulations are pub-
lished 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.
Students withdrawing from a course before the end of the semester
are given a "G" or "H", depending upon the circumstances of

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.

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

48 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

averages has been established. Freshmen are required to main-
tain a cumulative average of at least 1.8 in their course work;
sophomores of at least 2.0, and juniors and seniors of at least 2.2.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 120 semester hours is required, of which the last
sixty must be earned at Oglethorpe except in exceptional cases
(see page 20).

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.

A minimum grade point average of 2.2 is necessary.

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

The specific requirements for each degree must be completed.

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

The student must be approved formally for graduation by the

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for specific majors vary among the disci-
plines. Detailed requirements are listed in the sections dealing

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS / 49

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. Students
interested in this possibility should consult 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 dismissed 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 reinstated only upon petition to
the Faculty Council. A petition may be filed with the registrar after
an absence of one semester.

For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes,
students are classified according to the number of semester hours
successfully completed. Classification is as follows: to 30 hours

METRO LIFE STUDIES

Courses deal with political, economic, social and intellectual
aspects of life in metropolitan areas of the United States. Under-
graduates may earn the baccalaureate degree in Metro Life
Studies.

A central theme of American life in the 20th Century is the
increasing complexity of an industrial and urban society.
Oglethorpe's MLS program offers an opportunity for developing
an understanding of the broad range of urban and suburban
problems. The basic objective of the curriculum is a concept of the
environmental and behavioral conditions which lie at the root of
the urban crisis. The program also includes courses which deal
with the techniques of city planning and development. Finally,
Metro Life Studies are calculated to help the undergraduate ac-
quire managerial skills for assuming leadership in the quest for
ultimate solutions to the great problems in contemporary Ameri-
can society. Graduates may pursue graduate work in urbanology
or find employment in both public and private enterprises con-
cerned with the development of cities.

Students seeking a major in Metro Life Studies will take The
American City, State and Local Government, Metropolitan Plan-
ning, Urban Ecology, and The Community. Students must also
choose four additional Metro Life Studies courses.

GRADUATE DIVISION /111

DIVISION VI GRADUATE

STUDIES IN ELEMENTARY
EDUCATION

PROGRAM

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

1 . Full admission to the Graduate Division.

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

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

4. Completion of thirty-six semester hours approved credit. Ap-
plication for diploma should be made during the 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 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 profession 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 knowl-
edge and skills. Inherent in the guiding philosophy is the assump-
tion that graduate study includes more than the passing of pre-
scribed 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.

112 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

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

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 college or university may be
admitted to the Graduate Division. In addition to general require-
ments 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 pre-
paratory 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 Admis-
sions 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 $10.00 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 University 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 admission will be cancelled,
the file discontinued, and a new application will be required for
admission at a later date.

GRADUATE DIVISION / 113

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 Admis-
sions or by writing: Education Testing Service, Princeton, New-
Jersey 08540.

CLASSIFICATION

Students may be admitted to the Graduate Division under any
one of the following classifications:

Regular. A student who has a cumulative grade point overage
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.

Provisional. A person failing to meet one or more of the stan-
dards required for admission as a regular student or a qualified
senior may be admitted under conditions specified at the time of
admission by the chairman of the Graduate Council and ap-
proved by the Graduate Council. The provisionally admitted stu-
dent may apply to the chairman of the Graduate Division for
reclassification 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 regu-
lar student.

A senior within six semester hours of completing requirements
for the bachelor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for
graduate credit provided that: ( 1) he has the permission of th^ 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.

Transient. A student in good standing in another recognized
graduate school who wishes to enroll in the Graduate Division of
Oglethorpe University and who plans to return thereafter to the

1 14 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

former institution may be admitted as a transient graduate stu-
dent. 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 understand that his registra-
tion 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.

Unclassified. A degree holder who is not a prospective candi-
date 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 presenting 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.

GRADUATE DIVISION / 115

REGISTRATION

Registration dates for each term are listed on page 5 of this
publication. Several weeks prior to the beginning of each term,
students may obtain from the Registrar's 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 under-
graduate or graduate credit; graduate students, however, are
expected to do more extensive reading, prepare additional re-
ports, 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 successfully complete.

ADVISEMENT

Upon admission to the Graduate Division, each student is as-
signed to a member of the graduate faculty in education who
serves as advisor and guides the student in planning his program
of study.

GRADING

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

116 / 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.

STANDARDS

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

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

2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satisfactory
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 re-
fused following an examination of the overall work of the student
and careful review of his completed work at Oglethorpe. Applica-
tion for the Master of Arts degree in elementary education must be
filed with the chairman of the Graduate Division after the student
has twelve semester hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe Uni-
versity. Admission to candidacy would be given or refused follow-
ing 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 admission 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 certifi-
cation by the chairman of the Education Department that he is
eligible for first professional certification or he must include ap-
propriate make-up work in his program.

GRADUATION

Required Hours. The program leading to the Master of Arts
degree in elementary education will require completion of thirty-
six semester hours of course credit beyond the bachelor's degree
as a minimum requirement. The following minimum requirements

dence work be applied toward satisfaction of degree require-
ments.

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