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. s:-*v ^ v^* .'v ; '.. i I ^.t.*l /^-,>Vk^ 't^. h^ if-^^ ^jSt'il 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. -^!V -# ^ ^M.- M ^u,. '^^ ^*^ ^ h ^-:t .>i1^r' v'C ^i BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS / 15 BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS LOWRY HALL LIBRARY Oglethorpe University has an air-conditioned library located in Lowry Hall. It has a large reading-reference room (The Estelle Johnson Library Room) on the first floor, and also an outdoor reading patio on the same level at the north end of the building. Individual student conference rooms are available, as well as individual carrels in the book stack areas. A special area is pro- vided for microform materials. The Library of Congress classifica- tion system is used in an open stack arrangement, allowing free access to all users on all four floors. The collection of over 140,000 items includes books, periodicals, microforms, and audiovisual materials. More than 300 periodical subscriptions provide a diversified range of current information. A Special Collections room includes materials on James Edward Oglethorpe and Georgia, Sidney Lanier (an Oglethorpe alum- nus), and other collections of autographed books and unique vol- umes. The library has the only known contemporary oil portrait of General Oglethorpe in existence. The Sears Collection of Children's Literature contains over 2,000 volumes of children's books, which help support the graduate program of elementary education. The Roy D. and Lottie Warren Collection includes volumes in Learning Disabilities. The Thomas H. Campbell, Jr., Collection includes volumes in Marketing and Business Administration. The library also subscribes to the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) microfiche publica- tions. The Japanese Collection consists of books in the English language and other materials on Japanese history and culture. The Oglethorpe Art Gallery, which has several exhibits each year that are open to the public, is located in the library. The library is open seven days a week during the two regular semesters of the academic year. On five days it is open both day and evening. THE UNIVERSITY CENTER The University Center is the center of campus social life. It houses the student lounges, television room, recreational facilities, snackbar, post office, bookstore, student activity offices, conference rooms, cafeteria and dining room, sorority and frater- nity rooms, radio station, and offices of Housing Director, Student Activities Director, University Center Director and the Chaplain. 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 APPLICATION PROCEDURE All correspondence concerning admissions should be ad- dressed to the Office of Admissions, Oglethorpe University, At- lanta, Georgia. After receiving the application form, the applicant should complete and return it with an application fee of $10.00. Entering freshmen must also submit the following: letter of refer- ence from a high school counselor or teacher; official transcript of high school work; and aptitude test scores. Transfer students must submit the completed application form with the $10.00 application fee, plus the following: letter of reference from the dean of the college previously attended; official transcript of each college at- tended; a high school transcript if less than one full year of college work has been completed. 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 accommodations for the appropriate term. Dormitory students submit a deposit of $200.00; commuters $100.00. While the deposit is not refundable, it is ap- plicable toward tuition and fees as stated in the acceptance letter. Additional information may be obtained by contacting the Of- fice of Admissions (404) 261-1441 or (404) 233-6864. Afc'4. >^^ ^^i''^^ /.

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.

These fees are for both room and board. 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. Aufm i k- W ;K 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. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS Listed below is information concerning Oglethorpe University's activities and organizations: Alpha Chi academic and leadership honorary Alpha Psi Omega dramatic honorary Boar's Head Fraternity junior and senior men's honorary Collegiate Choral music Duchess Club junior and senior women's honorary Hillel LeConte Society science honorary Oglethorpe Players dramatic society Phi Alpha Theta history honorary Photography Club Politics Club Psi Nu Omicron psychology society Psychology Club Sigma Zeta national science honorary Stormy Petrel student newspaper Student National Education Association preprofessional educa- tion association for students preparing to teach Thalian Society philosophical society WJTL radio station Xingu Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta English honorary Yamacraw student yearbook STUDENT UFE / 41 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.

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 the withdrawal. Students who do not meet all the requirements 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 becomes an "F." Grade structure and quality points are as follows: A Superior 4.0 B Good 3.0 C Satisfactory 2.0 D Passing 1.0 F Failure 0.0 E Failure: Excessive absences 0.0 G Withdrawn 0.0 H Withdrawn Failing 0.0 I Incomplete 0.0 P Passing (used in special cases) AU Audit (no credit) 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 faculty. MAJOR REQUIREMENTS The requirements for specific majors vary among the disci- plines. Detailed requirements are listed in the sections dealing with majors. The student is advised to consult frequently with an advisor to satisfy both general and major requirements. DEGREES Oglethorpe offers four degrees to those meeting the necessary requirements: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Masters Degree in Elementary Edu- cation. Under the Bachelor of Arts, majors programs are offered in the following areas: Business Administration, Economics, Elemen- tary Education, Secondary Education (with concentrations avail- able in English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies), En- glish, General Studies, History, Metro Life Studies, Philosophy, Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology.

Under the Bachelor of Business Administration, majors programs are offered in the following areas: Accounting, Business Administration, and Economics. 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. STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes, students are classified according to the number of semester hours successfully completed. Classification is as follows: to 30 hours freshman; 31 to 60 hours sophomore; 61 to 90 hours junior; 91 hours and above senior. NORMAL ACADEMIC LOAD A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less than four courses each semester, but generally five courses are 50 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY taken, giving the student a total of twelve to sixteen semester hours each term. Regular students in the day classes are expected to carry a normal load and to pay for a full schedule of courses. Students other than transient and night students taking a reduced load will pay the rate published by the University. THE DEAN'S LIST Students who earn a minimum average of 3.3 or better in any given semester except the summer term for an academic load of at least five courses are given the distinction of being placed on the Dean's List.

A student taking any course during the day will not be classified as an evening student. CONTINUING EDUCATION The Department of Continuing Education acts as a community service in providing adult non-credit courses for interested people in the community.

Graduates are eligible for T5 certification by evaluation of the Georgia State Department of Education. For application please write: Office of Admissions Oglethorpe University Atlanta, Georgia 30319 or call 233-6864 or 261-1441 1%' 'f " liiTaiiiiliiritti iti I ' " ' 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.
