"The Oglethorpe idea is to forge the strongest possible link between the 'academic' and 'practical,' be- tween 'human understanding' and 'know-how,' between 'culture' and 'proficiency,' between past and present. We are persuaded that there is ultimately no contradiction be- tween the concepts represented in each of these usually divorced pairs. "There can be no basic disagree- ment among educators and laymen about the common elements of the student's real needs and interests. He is to learn as much as possible about the principles, forces, and laws in- fluencing or governing Nature, in- cluding human nature and human associations; to learn to take account of these not only for their own sake but for growth, guidance and direc- tion for himself and others; to express his deepest individuality in the work or calling most appropriate to his tal- ents; and to discover his proper place, role, and function in the com- plex relationships of modern living. "Living should not be an escape from work. Education should there- fore encompass the twin aims of makinga lifeand makinga living. But inescapably his is part and parcel of society. He fulfills himself by the measure in which he contributes to the happiness and progress of his fel- lows. Education, as an institution of society, has a social obligation. It cannot neglect either the individual orthe community without damageto both. The social order at its best is bestforthe individual; the individual at his best is best for society. The business of education is to strive for this optimum. "What difference should an edu- cation make? There are people, defi- cient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful. They understand and get along well with their neigh- bors. 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 dif- ference 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 com- panions should inform his mind and enlarge his vision. "Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of mastering rather than being mastered by the ec- onomic and scientific forces at work in our world. Creative brains and in- dividual initiative, tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility, are the only sources of payrolls com- patible with a free society, an impro- ving livingstandard, and a betterway of life. Where else can we look for this creative urge other than to ade- quate 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 re- PURPOSE/ 7 main 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 in- struction are the persons taught. We must be forever mindful that educa- tion, 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 mas- tery, and mastery at one point occa- sions new interests in others. The cy- cle is never closed, but is a sprial which always returns upon itself at some higher level of insight. Growth in everything which is human must remain the dominant objective for the individual and for society. "We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense from first to last, which hangs together, and which promotes this desired re- sult. Not only in professional training but also in the education of the hu- man personality, the materials of in- struction must have a beginning, point in a definite direction, and pre- pare for al I that ensues. We necessar- ily make provision forand give scope to diversified talents in preparation for varied careers. But this much we all have in common: each man has to live with himself and all have to live with their fellows. Living in commu- nity, with human understanding, in- volves 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 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 commu- nity 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 member- ship in an academic community de- dicated to the intelligent pursuit of the means to a better world. Our ba- sic 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 back- ground with his fellows, both in the student body and the faculty, out of which, like a fertile soil, the Oglethorpe community, ever chang- ing, ever improving, can grow and prosper. /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Education in the English tradition American higher education, as we know it today, has been influenced primarily by three ideas of what a college or university ought to be. The first is the model of the English col- lege, particularly in the form devel- oped at Oxford and Cambridge in the 1 8th and 1 9th centuries. Most of the older institutions in the United States were patterned on the English col- leges of that period. Many thoughtful observers have concluded that this is the finest type of collegiate education produced by Western civilization. The second idea is that of the Ger- man university, especially of the 19th century. This model, which has had enormous influence on American universities, stresses professional education (as in medicine and law), graduate study leading to the Ph.D. degree, and specialized research. The German university idea was im- ported into the United States by Johns Hopkins and other institutions in the last century and has left its mark on every college and university in this country. The third idea or model is that of the land-grant college, a uniquely American institution created by the Morrill Act, passed by Congress in 1862. This model emphasizes large- scale technical education and ser- vice to agriculture and industry. It has contributed especially to education in such fields as engineering and agriculture and has been the basison which many of the state universities have been built. Oglethorpe University stands firmly in the tradition of the English college. Established in 1835 and named after General James Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, the University was patterned on Cor- pus Christi College, Oxford, General Oglethorpe's alma mater. It would be overstating the matter to say that Oglethorpe University has been un- touched by the other two concep- tions of higher education, but it has certainly been shaped principally by the English tradition of collegiate education. What are the distinctive features of that tradition? Hundreds of books have been written on the subject, perhaps the most influential of which is John Henry Newman's The Idea of a University, one of the great educa- tional classics. I shall mention only five characteristics that have made this kind of college widely admired: 1 . The colleges in the English tra- dition emphasize broad education for intelligent leadership. They be- lieve that this is a more useful under- graduate education for the able young person than technical training for a specific job. 2. Colleges such as Oglethorpe stress the basic academic competen- cies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning and the fundamen- tal fields of knowledge the arts and sciences. Many high schools and col- leges neglect these disciplines today, but they continue to be the essential tools of the educated person. 3. Close relationships between teacher and student are indispens- able to this type of education. A teacher is much more than a con- veyor of information (the invention of the printing press made that notion of EDUCATION IN THE ENGLISH TRADITION / 9 education obsolete). Rather, the most important function of the teacher is to stimulate intellectual activity in the student and to promote his develop- ment as a mature person. Factory- like instruction, conducted in huge classes, is the very antithesis of the English tradition. 4. A collegiate education is far more than simply "taking" courses. It is a process of development in which campus leadership opportunities, residential life, athletics, formal and informal social functions, aesthetic experiences, and contact with stu- dents from other cultures, in addition to classroom exercises, all have their proper place. Versatility and ability to lead are important goals of under- graduate education. 5. No claim is made that this isthe appropriate education for everyone. Many young people are better fitted for technical or vocational schools. Others have little aptitude for leader- ship and no interest in ideas or theo- retical questions. At Oglethorpe our experience has been that, in general, an applicant should rank in the top third of college-bound students if he is to succeed in a strong college of arts and sciences. As we approach our 143rd year, we are proud of our English heritage and are convinced that this is the kind of education most needed in the world today. (This statement was prepared by Manning M. Pattillo, Jr., President, for the 1977 Annual Report) 10 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY History One of the South's oldest and finest educational intitutions, Oglethorpe University, was char- tered on December 21, 1835, as a result of the efforts of a group of Georgia Presbyterians seeking to es- tablish a college for training young men for the ministry. The founders named the new college after General James Edward Oglethorpe, the distin- guished leader of Georgia in its ear- liest days. The University began actual oper- ation on January 1 , 1 838, at Midway, a small village near Milledgeville, then the state capitol, with one hun- dred and twenty-five students and a faculty of six. For nearly three decades after its founding, Oglethorpe University grew steadily in stature and influ- ence. Itspresidentduring most of that time, Samuel K. Talmage, provided gifted leadership and 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. degree, and Joseph LeConte, destined to acquire world fame for his work in the field of geology. Oglethorpe produced a steady stream of graduates during the early years the most famous being the poet Sidney Lanier. A member of the class of 1860, Lanier is reported to have remarked that the greatest intellec- tual impulse of his life came to him during his college days at Oglethorpe. By the close of the 1 850's, the in- stitution had reached a new plateau of financial solidarity and academic soundness, but its life and service were suddenly cut short in the 1860's as Oglethorpe became a casualty of war. Her students marched away to become Confederate soldiers; her endowment at length was lost in Confederate bonds; her buildings were converted to barracks and a hospital. Toward the end of the war General William T. Sherman's army, during its destructive march to the sea, visited the University but left the property intact. In 1866 an effort was made to re- vive Oglethorpe, first at Midway and then by relocation in Atlanta. How- ever, the ravages of war, together with the disruptions of Reconstruc- tion, presented obstacles too great to overcome, and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors again. The next chapter of Oglethorpe's history begins with the vision of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, who arrived in At- lanta in 1909 to serve as executive secretary in a campaign to raise funds for Agnes Scott College. By 1912, his thinking had crystalized into a deter- mination to re-establish Oglethorpe. Dr. Jacobs enlisted the support of Presbyterian churches throughout the South and East and from various individuals and groups in Atlanta. His vision materialized in 1915 with the laying of the cornerstone of the first building (later named Phoebe Hearst Hall) on the present campus. Oglethorpe alumni from the classes of 1860 and 1861 were present for the historic ceremony, thus symboli- cally linking the old Oglethorpe with the new. Dr. Jacobs subsequently was named President, serving in that ca- pacity until 1944. During that time the University grew in size and repu- tation. Throughout the 1 920's the in- stitution received substantial contri- HISTORY/ 11 butions from individuals such as J. T. Lupton, Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, and William Randolph Hearst, Sr. With these and other contributions several buildings were constructed, includ- ing Lupton Hall, site of the present administration building; Lowry Hall, the University's library; and Hearst Hall, which now serves as a class- room facilty. Oglethorpe, under the leadership of Dr. Jacobs, was soon to be recog- nized as one of the South's most in- novative educational institutions. In 1 931 , WJTL, one of the first campus radio stations in the United States, was established at Oglethorpe. A few years later, Dr. Jacobs began his work on "The Crypt of Civilization," loca- ted in a vault in Phoebe Hearst Hall. This is a collection of 800 books and other objects representative of 20th Century America, which is to remain sealed until the year 8113, when it will be opened for the benefit of his- torians. The project was reported na- tionally and internationally and was supported from its inception by the Scientific American. General David Sarnoff, founder and Chairman of the Board of the Radio Corporation of America (R.C.A.) spoke at the cere- mony at which the Crypt was closed in 1940. Several other interesting projects began during the Jacobs administra- tion, including an unsuccessful at- tempt to relocate the remains of Gen- eral James Oglethorpe from England to the Oglethorpe campus. In the late 1930's, the "Exceptional Education Experiment" was instituted with the aim of adding depth and meaning to the educational process for a group of carefully selected students. A new chapter opened in the his- tory of Oglethorpe in 1 944 when Dr. Philip Weltner assumed the presi- dency and, with a group of faculty associates, including Dr. Gerhart Niemeyer, Dr. George Seward, and Professor Wendell Brown, initiated a new and exciting approach to under- graduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." This concept was based on the conviction that education should encompass the twin aims of making a life and mak- ing a living, and toward these ends a program of studies should be devel- oped. The essential curricular princi- ples adopted at that time have con- tinued to provide the framework of an Oglethorpe education for the past thirty years. The University continued to make steady progress during the presiden- cies of J. Whitney Bunting, Donald Wilson, Donald C. Agnew, and Paul R. Beall. Throughout this period strong teachers were appointed, the academic program was further de- veloped, and there was a gradual ex- pansion of the size of the student body. Special mention should also be made of George Seward, who contributed importantly to the edu- cational development of the Univer- sity, as a long-time dean and an act- ing president. The presidency changed hands once again in 1967 when Dr. Paul Kenneth Vonk assumed office. Keep- ing pace with the growing demands of increased enrollment, Dr. Vonk initiated a program of physical ex- pansion unparalleled in the University's long history. During his administration the following build- ings were completed: five men's dor- mitories Jacobs, Weltner, Alumni, Oglethorpe, and Trustees; a beautiful university center; a women's dormi- tory, Traer Hall; and a science cen- ter, Goslin Hall. In addition, all of the older buildings were extensively re- modeled, giving Oglethorpe an at- tractive campus and an excellent physical plant. Manning M. Pattillo, Jr. was in- 12 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY augurated in 1975 as Oglethorpe's twelfth president. During his ad- ministration special emphasis has been placed on liberal education as a rigorous intellectual experience and as preparation for leadership. The ex- pansion of Oglethorpe's program of continuing education, the attraction of students from abroad, and the ac- celeration of financial development are other areas that have received particular attention. Oglethorpe University has had a long and exciting history and has produced more than its share of dis- tinguished graduates in business, public affairs, education, medicine, religion, law, and other fields. It looks forward to an increasingly im- portant role as one of the better pri- vate colleges in its region. The complete history of Oglethorpe University cannot be told for it is as varied as each of her students. The future depends on her students today, as it has for genera- tions. She will develop as her stu- dents develop; she will grow and prosper only if they are sufficiently prepared to meet the challenge of the future. BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS/ 13 Buildings and Grounds LOWRY HALL-LIBRARY Lowry Hall provides a functional and attractive library for the Univer- sity. One of its outstanding features is the variety of study areas, which are comfortably furnished in a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. It has a large read- ing-reference room on the first floor, and also an outdoor reading patio on the same level at the north end of the building. Individual student confer- ence rooms are available, as well as individual carrels in the book stack areas. The Library of Congress classi- fication system is used in an open stack arrangement, allowing free ac- cess to users on all four floors. Provi- sions are made for a variety of micro- form materials. The collection of over 186,500 items includes books, periodicals, microforms, and audiovisual mate- rials. More than 300 periodical sub- scriptions provide a diversified range of current information. The R. L. Dempsey Special Collections room includes materials on James Edward Oglethorpe and Georgia, Sidney La- nier (an Oglethorpe alumnus), and other collections of autographed books and unique volumes. The li- brary has the only known contempo- rary oil portrait of General Oglethorpe in existence. The Sears Collection of Children's Literature contains over 2,000 vol- umes of children's books, which help support the graduate program of ele- mentary education. The library also subscribes to the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) mi- crofiche publications. The Japanese Collection consists of books in the English language and other materials on Japanese history and culture. A browsing area contains a special collection of current books which have general appeal. It also provides access to all new acquisitions before they are dispersed into the classified subject sections. 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 semes- ters of the academic year. On five days it is open both day and evening. THE UNIVERSITY CENTER The University Center is the hub of campus life. It houses the student lounges, television room, recrea- tional facilities, snack bar, post of- fice, book store, student activity of- fices, conference rooms, cafeteria and dining room, and offices. LUPTON HALL Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas Lup- ton, was one of the three original buildings on the present Oglethorpe University campus. It was renovated in 1973, and contains all administra- tive offices and an auditorium with seating for three hundred and fifty persons. The University Business Of- fice is located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the office of the Dean, the Registrar, and the Admissions Of- fice are on the first floor; the Office of the President, Dean of Administra- tion, Dean of Students, Office of Counseling and Career Develop- ment, Office of Development and Alumni Office are on the second 14 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY floor. The Office of Financial Aid is on the third floor. The ELS Language Center, which opened in 1975, oc- cupies much of the third floor. 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. ments. Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and modern lecture halls, are located in the build- ing. 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 col- lege and for the nation. A new physics laboratory, made possible by a grant from the Olin Foundation, was opened in 1979. PHOEBE HEARST HALL Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in 1 91 5 and is in the neo-Gothic archi- tecture that dominates the Ogle- thorpe campus. The building is named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the mother of William Ran- dolph Hearst, Sr. It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty office building. Most classes with the ex- ception of science and mathematics are held in this building which is lo- cated directly across from Lupton Hall. Additional renovation for a stu- dent-faculty lounge and an ex- panded computer center was com- pleted in 1977. The dominant feature of the build- ing is the beautiful Great Hall, the site of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Also located in the ground floor of the building is the much-publicized Crypt of Civiliza- tion. This time capsule was sealed on May 28, 1940, with many compo- nents of the American culture sealed within. It is not to be opened until May 28, 8113. GOSLIN HALL This science center was completed during the fall of 1 971 and houses the science and psychology depart- TRAER HALL Built in 1 969, Traer Hall is a three story women's residence which houses 1 68 students. Construction of the building was made possible through the generosity of the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe Univer- sity alumnus of the Class of 1928. These accommodations provide for semi-private rooms. All rooms open onto a central plaza courtyard. As all buildingson the Oglethorpe campus, Traer Hall is completely air-condi- tioned. 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 build- ing contains twenty-seven rooms and is used to house some Junior and Se- nior women students. Private rooms are available. Located adjacent to Goodman Hall are three newly resur- faced tennis courts. MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL COMPLEX Five men's residence halls are situ- ated around the upper quadrangle. Two of the buildings were named for former Oglethorpe presidents, Dr. WILDINGS AND GROUNDS/ 15 Philip Weltner and Dr. Thornwell Ja- cobs. Constructed in 1968, these buildings were refurbished in 1977. The three story structures house all male resident students. A $1.2 mil- lion redesign of the complex began in 1979. FAITH HALL The Student Health Center 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 1 972 to include overnightfacilities for students in the health center. R. E. DOROUGH FIELD HOUSE The Dorough Field House is the site of intercollegiate basketball, in- tramural and recreational sports, and large campus gatherings such as con- certs and commencement exercises. Built in 1960, this structure under- went major renovation in 1979. The building is named for the late R. E. (Red) Dorough, a former Trustee of the University. ATHLETIC FACILITIES The most recent additions to the campus are a six-lane, all-weather, reslite track and a new intramural field. These improvements provide modern facilities for the soccer and track teams. The intramural football and softball teams use the new facili- ties as well. 16 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Admissions APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed students from all sec- tions of this country, as well as from abroad, as candidates for degrees. It is the policy of the Admissions Com- mittee to select for admission to the University those applicants who present the strongest evidence of pur- pose, 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 students' high school programs, their grades, the recommendations of their coun- selors and teachers, and their scores on aptitude tests. In recent years, the Admissions Committee has become increasingly selective in reviewing the credentials of the candidates. Ad- mission is offered to approximately 66 per cent of the applicants. The candidates for admission as freshmen must present a satisfactory high school program. In addition, the student must submit satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, or American College Testing Program Assessment (ACT). It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College Test or Scholastic Aptitude Test as early as possible during the 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 Exami- nation Board, Box 592, Princeton, N.J. 08540. The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials which must be submitted by the applicant. No application will be considered and acted upon until the items indi- cated have been received. Applica- tions 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 EXAMINTION There are two testing programs through which students may earn credit or exemption for required or elective courses. These two pro- grams are described below. Any stu- dent who has questions about these examinations should consult the Registrar. Up to sixty semester hours of credit will be accepted through these programs. COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM-CLEP Within this testing program are two categories. The General Exami- nations cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities, Mathe- matics, Natural Science, and Social Science History. A maximum of thirty semester hours may be earned with acceptable scores in the Gen- eral Examinations. Minimum accept- able scores are 500 for each general area and 50 in each sub-total cate- gory. The Subject Examinations are designed to measure knowledge in ADMISSIONS/ 17 particular courses. A minimum ac- ceptable score of 50 in a subject ex- amination is required for credit. ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM The University invites and urges those students who have taken the advanced placement examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board to submit their scores for possi- ble consideration toward college credit. The general policy of Oglethorpe toward such scores is the following: academic credit will be given in the appropriate area to stu- dents presenting advanced place- ment grades of 4 or 5; exemption but not credit will be given in the appro- priate area from basic courses for stu- dents presenting a grade of 3; neither credit nor exemption will be given for a grade of 2; maximum credit to be allowed to any student for ad- vanced placement tests will be thirty semester hours. TRANSFER STUDENTS Applicants for transfer from other recognized institutions of higher learning are welcome at Oglethorpe, provided they are in good standing at the institution last attended. They are expected to follow regular admis- sions 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 appli- cable to a liberal arts or a science degree. A two year residence re- quirement 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 trans- fer work is the maximum given with- out such decision, but up to three years of transfer work may be granted with such decision. Acceptable work must be shown on an official tran- script and must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree at an accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. The re- maining 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 stu- dent. Junior college graduates with strong academic records are en- couraged to apply for admission. All financial aid awards and scholar- ships are open to transfer students as well as new freshmen. Oglethorpe University will accept as many as thirty hours of United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credit. Students with at least six months active military experience may be granted three hours credit for that experience. Students who serve for two years or more, may receive six hours credit. SPECIAL AND TRANSIENT STUDENTS In addition to regular students, a limited number of special and tran- sient students will be accepted. Special students are defined by the University as those not working to- ward an Oglethorpe degree; they are limited to a maximum of five semes- ter courses, after which they must ap- ply to the admissions office for a change of status to that of regular student or withdraw from the Univer- sity. Transient students may take a max- imum of two semesters of work, pro- vided that they secure permission 18 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY from the dean of their original institu- tion certifying that the institution will accept for transfer credit the aca- demic work done by the student at Oglethorpe. This permission is the responsibility of the transient stu- dent. NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS Admission to Oglethorpe is not re- stricted to recent high school gradu- ates and transfer students. The Uni- versity attempts to fulfill its responsi- bility to the entire community by of- fering 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 tra- ditional entrance examinations. Also, those persons who have never completed their undergraduate de- grees and wish to resume their study after an extended absence are en- couraged to apply. Admission is offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. Inter- views are required to determine the special needs of these students. Per- sonal counseling is available to avoid unnecessary difficulties and to pro- mote the development of the stu- dents. These students have individ- ual plans according to their needs and interests. Two special programs are offered for adults who desire to reenter the academic environment. One is a Study Skills Workshop which in- cludes the following topics: motiva- tion for study, concentration and memory, time management, reading improvement, note-taking, and test- taking. The other program is a semi- nar that covers topics like financial planning, personal readjustment, child care, values clarification, goal setting, and personal affirmation. The University is able to offer ad- mission to non-traditional students by recognizing their strengths in en- thusiasm, motivation, and maturity. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students from all nations. Students who are able to provide evi- dence of suitable academic back- ground, adequate financial re- sources, and seriousness of purpose are eligible to apply. Many international students are accepted with the condition that upon arrival they will be given an examination in English. Students must gain the recommendation of the language center director through such examination before enrolling in regular courses. Students who do not receive a favorable recommendation from the Director will be required to enroll in the ELS Language Center. Students who take the TOEFL and present scores of 500 or better are exempt from taking language center courses. These students are allowed to enroll in the regular university cur- riculum. ELS LANGUAGE CENTER In September of 1975, English Lan- guage Services (ELS) and Oglethorpe University opened an on-campus En- glish language center. The ELS Lan- guage Center offers intensive four- week sessions teaching English as a second language to college-bound international students and profes- sionals. Students enroll in one or more sessions depending upon knowledge of English, aptitude for the language, and desire for profi- ciency. Residence hall facilities are available to ELS students.

The Financial Aid Form (FAF) is the com- mon form by which students may ap- ply for all campus based programs (National Direct Student Loans, Sup- plemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study) and at the same time, apply for the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. In completing the Financial Aid Form, the student will receive his Student Eligibility Report for the Basic Grant Program. When the report is re- ceived, it should be forwarded to the Director of Financial Aid. Students may receive several types of aid to make up their "package" of financial assistance. A financial aid package may in- clude assistance from any one or more of the following sources: Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship (O.M.A.S.) are awarded in amounts from $500 to $1500. 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. Par- ticipation in activities, leadership, 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 tra- ditional scholarship programs. Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) is available for Geor- gia residents who attend Oglethorpe. The program was established by an Act of the 1971 Georgia General As- sembly. The Georgia Higher Educa- tion Assistance Authority defines the program in this way, "The purpose of the Act is to provide tuition assis- tance to Georgia resident students who are desirous of pursuing their higher education goals in a private Georgia college or university, but find the financial costs prohibitive due primarily to higher tuition of these educational institutions in comparison to public schools which are branches of the University Sys- tem of Georgia." All students must complete a yearly application to ver- ify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1979-80 school year, this grant is $300.00 per semester. No Financial Aid Form is required for this program since family financial need is not a factor in determining eligibility. Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (B.E.O.G.) is a federal aid pro- gram intended to be the floor in financial assistance. Eligibility is based upon a family's financial re- sources. Applications for this pro- gram may be obtained from the Of- fice of Financial Aid or from a high school guidance office. This aid is administered in the form of non- repayable grants. Supplemental Educational Op- portunity Grants (S.E.O.G.) do not require repayment. The size of the grant depends on the need of the in- dividual recipient. To qualify for an S.E.O.G., a student must be from a family with "exceptional financial need," must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment, and must be capable of maintaining normal progress to- FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE / 21 ward the achievement of a degree. Application for these funds is made by filing a Financial Aid Form. 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 demon- strated need for such assistance. No interest is charged and repayment is deferred while the borrower con- tinues as a half-time student. Interest is charged at a three per cent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower's education is terminated. These loans are available to students who show a demonstrated financial need through the Financial Aid Form. 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 re- payment for three years. Cancel- lation benefits may be received by teaching in "poverty" areas that are designated by the U.S. Commis- sioner of Education, for teaching handicapped children, andforteach- ing in Head Start programs. College Work-Study Program (C.W.S.P.) permits a student to earn part of the educational expenses. The earnings from this program and other financial aid cannot exceed the student'sfinancial need. Studentseli- gible for this program work part-time on the Oglethorpe campus. Georgia Higher Education Assis- tance Authority (G.H.E.A.A.) loans and Federally Insured Student Loans (F.I.S.L.) are long term loans availa- ble through banks, credit unions, and other lending institutions. Students desiringto seek a loan in this manner should consult with the Director of Financial Aid for additional informa- tion. Georgia Incentive Scholarship (G.I.S.), as defined by the Georgia Higher Education Assistance Author- ity, is a "program created by an act of the 1974 Georgia General Assembly in order to establish a program of needs-based scholarships for quali- fied Georgia residents to enable them to attend eligible post-secondary in- stitutions 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 edu- cation. The Pickett and Hatcher Educa- tional Fund was created by the late Claud Adkins Hatcher of Columbus, Georgia, founder of the internation- ally known Royal Crown Cola Com- pany and its predecessors, of which he served as president for more than twenty-five years. 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 educa- tional loan fund. 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 ap- plications from undergraduate stu- dents who are married will be con- sidered. The Faculty Scholarship Committee makes recommendations for these scholarships each year. Additional information may be se- cured from the Director of Financial Aid. ELIGIBILITY Applicants for a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, National Direct 22 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Student Loan, Supplemental Educa- tional Opportunity Grant, or College Work-Study must meet the following criteria: 1. Student must be a U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident. 2. Be enrolled on at least half-time basis (6 hours) in a regular degree- seeking program. 3.

Satisfactory progress means that a student must earn twenty-four (24) semester hours each twelve months in order to continue receiv- ing financial aid. In addition, freshmen must maintain at least a 1 .0 cumulative grade point average; sophomores a 1.4 grade point aver- age; juniors a 1.5 grade point aver- age and seniors a 1.6 grade point average, in order to be considered making satisfactory progress. The to- tal number of hours attempted will be used to determine eligibility. Stu- dents not making satisfactory progress may re-establish eligibility when they have earned the required twenty-four hours and obtained the respective cumulative grade point average. All applicants who re-estab- lish their eligibility must have an ap- pointment with the Directorof Finan- cial Aid prior to receiving financial aid again. 4. Students may not be in default on a student loan or obligated to pay a refund on a previous federal pro- gram. 5. Establish financial need by fil- ing a Financial Aid Form. 6.

For purposes of the Supple- mental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a student will be con- sidered in exceptional financial need if their expected family or parental contribution does not exceed fifty percent of the cost of education as established in the Financial Aid Form. PAYMENT OF AWARDS All awards, except College Work- Study earnings, are disbursed to stu- dents by means of a voucher. Each semester, vouchers are prepared for all awards and are credited to a student's account after the Director of Financial Aid has approved the Awards. Each student must acknowl- edge receipt of the awards prior to their being credited to a student's ac- count.

The concept is somewhat like that of the Rhodes Scholarships. This program, providing stipends up to the total amount of room, board, and tuition, is designed to encourage excellence in intercollegiate athletics and prepa- ration for leadership. It is the intent of the program to provide the difference between the amount of other assis- tance, if any, and the cost of room, board, and tuition. The James Edward Oglethorpe Scholarships are the most generous leadership awards offered by the University. These are reserved for students with exceptional academic ability and leadership talent. This program provides stipends up to the full amount of room, board, and tui- tion. The program will include such activities as debating and public speaking; publications, both journal- istic and literary; elective office, in- cluding student government; choral performance; and social service. A basic purpose of Oglethorpe is to prepare students for leadership roles. One way of promoting this purpose is to give special recognition and en- couragement to students who dem- onstrate leadership capabilities as undergraduates. The individual amounts of these awards vary. It is the intent of the program to provide the difference between the amount of other assistance, if any, and the cost of room, board, and tuition.

Each award is for one year, but can be renewed on the basis of an annual evaluation of academic and other performance. FINANCES/ 27 Finances FEES AND COSTS The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only seventy percent of the actual expense of edu- cating each student, the balance coming from endowment income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe undergraduate is the beneficiary of a hidden scholarship. At the same time, 75 percent of the students are awarded additional financial assistance in the form of scholarships, grants, and loans from private, governmental, or intitutional sources. The tuition is $1 ,550 per semester. Room and board is $850 per semes- ter. Students who desire single rooms are assessed an additional $160 per semester in all residence halls except Traer Hall, Trustees Hall, and Alumni Hall. In these, the single room charge is an additional $185 per semester. The tuition of $1 ,550 is applicable to all students taking 1 2-1 6 semester hours. These are classified as full time students. Students taking less than 1 2 hours are referred to the sec- tion on Part-Time Fees on page 28. Students taking more than 16 hours during a semester are charged $60.00foreach additional hour. Tui- tion and fees for the fall term are due on August 1 4, 1 980. Tuition and fees for the Spring term are due on Janu- ary 2, 1 981 . Failure to make the nec- essary payments will result in the cancellation of the student's registra- tion. Students receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference be- tween the amount of their aid and the amount due by the above deadlines. Students and parents desiring to pay expenses in installments are advised to investigate their lending institu- tions or other sources such as Tuition Plan, Inc. New students who require on-campus housing for the fall term are required to submit an advance deposit of $200. New commuting students are required to submit an advance deposit of $100. Such de- posits are not refundable. However, one half of the deposit is credited to the student's account for the fall term. The other half is credited to the account for the spring term. Upon payment of the room and board fees, each student is covered by a basic Health and Accident pol- icy. Full-time students residing off campus may purchase this insurance for approximately $50.00 per year. In addition, any student covered by the basic policy may purchase the Major Medical Plan for $10.50 a year. International students, students participating in any intercollegiate sport, and students participating in intramural football or basketball are required to have this major medical coverage or its equivalent. In addition to the tuition and room and board charges, students may be required to subscribe to the follow- ing: 1. DAMAGE DEPOSIT: A $100.00 damage deposit is required of all boarding students. The damage deposit is refundable at the end of the academic year after any charge for damages is deducted. Room keys and other college property must be returned and the required checkout procedure completed prior to is- suance of damage deposit refunds. This deposit is payable at fall registra- tion. Students who begin in the spring term are also assessed the $100 damage deposit. 28 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY 2. GRADUATING SENIOR: Di- ploma fee of $15.00. The following lists the total cost for certain student classifications: Full time, on-campus student: Fall, 1980 Tuition $1550.00 Room & Board 850.00 Damage Deposit 100.00 Major Medical (optional) . . 10.50 Advanced Deposit . 100.00 $2410.50 Spring, 1981 Tuition $1550.00 Room & Board 850.00 Damage Deposit Major Medical (optional) . .

All fees are subject to change. PART-TIME FEES Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the Fall or Spring se- mesters will be charged $110 per se- mester hour. This rate is applicable to those students taking eleven semes- ter hours or less. Students taking twelve to sixteen hours are classified full time. EVENING SCHOOL FEES Students who are enrolled as eve- ning school students will be charged $ 1 90 per three semester hour course. To qualify for this special tuition rate during the Fall and Spring semesters, a student must take all courses in the evening. All four-hour labcourses in- clude an additional $15.00 labora- tory fee. SUMMER SCHOOL FEES All students enrolled in Summer School will be assessed $190 per three semester hour course. The rate forfour-hour lab courses is $255 plus a $15.00 laboratory fee. Students desiring residence hall and food service accommodations are charged $275.00 per five week session for a double room $325.00 per five week session for a single room. These fees are for both room and board. FINANCES/ 29 WITHDRAWAL, DROP/ADD Students who find it necessary to drop courses or add courses must se- cure a drop/add form in the Registrar's Office. The form is the only means by whicn students may change their 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 profes- sor may issue one of the following grades: withdraw passing (G), with- draw failing (H), or may refuse to ap- prove a drop. In order to receive a refund, the student must officially drop the class by the end of the twen- tieth 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 misses six consecutive classes in any course, the instructor will notify the Registrar's Office and it will be assumed that the student has unofficially withdrawn from the course. This does not eliminate the responsibility stated above concern- ing the official withdrawal policy. The student may receive the grade of withdrawal passing (G), withdrawal failing(H), orfailure due toexcessive absences (E). This policy has direct implications for students receiving benefits from the Veterans Adminis- tration and other federal agencies as these agencies must be notified when a student misses six consecutive classes. This will result in an auto- matic decrease in payments to the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discretion of the instructor. If a student is in need of withdraw- ing from school, an official with- drawal form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of the Col- lege and the Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal form. The date the completed withdrawal form is submitted to the Registrar will be the official date for withdrawal. REFUNDS The establishment of a refund pol- icy is based on the University's com- mitment to a fair and equitable re- fund of tuition and other charges as- sessed. While the University ad- vances this policy, it should not be interpreted as a policy of conven- ience for students to take lightly their responsibility and their commitment to the University. The University has demonstrated a commitment by ad- mitting and providing the necessary programs for all students and feels the students must also demonstrate a commitment in their academic pro- gram. Since insurance 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., tui- tion, room and board) are subject to the refund schedule. The date which will be used for calculation of a refund for with- drawal 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 in order to receive a re- fund. Students are reminded that all changes in their academic program must be cleared through the Regis- trar; an arrangement with a professor will not be recognized as an official change of schedule. 30 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY 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 FOR WITHDRAWALS FROM THE UNIVERSITY 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% REFUND SCHEDULE FOR CHANGES IN SCHEDULE Changes in schedule by the end of the 7th class day 100% Changes in schedule by the end of the 10th class day 80% Changes in schedule by the end of the 13th class day 60% Changes in schedule by the end of the 16th class day 40% Changes in schedule by the end of the 20th class day .- . .20% In order to administer the refund policy equitably, there will be no ex- ceptions.

No refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the se- mester in progress. * 1 STUDENT LIFE/ 31 Student Life LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of lead- ership in society. Many colleges mention this as one of their goals. At most institutions, this is simply a part of the rhetoric of higher education. However, at Oglethorpe, specific educational experiences are planned to help the student acquire the arts of leadership. Education for leadership must be based on the essential academic competencies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. Though widely neglected today at all levels of education, these are the prerequisites for effective leadership. They are the marks of an educated person. Oglethorpe insists that its students achieve advanced proficiency in these skills. In addition, students are offered specific preparation in the arts of leadership. Such arts include an appreciation of constructive values, the setting of goals, public speaking, human relations, and or- ganizational skills. This philosophy presents an excel- lent opportunity for the able young person who is striving for a signifi- cant life, including leadership in the improvement of our community and our society. ORIENTATION-FRESHMAN SEMINAR Oglethorpe University wishes to provide for each student the opportu- nity of adequate adjustment to col- lege life. Because we take pride in our ability and our tradition to offer students warm personal relation- ships, we have organized our orien- tation program to provide these rela- tionships, as well as much needed information about the University. Our program has been developed to serve the needs of students through small group experiences. Faculty, staff, and upperclass students com- prise a team which leads the group process. Information is disseminated which acquaints the student with the academic program and the extra- curricular life of the campus commu- nity. Thorough understanding of the advising system, the registration pro- cess, library use, class offerings, and study demands is sought. Alterna- tives for self expression outside the classroom are also presented to the new student. To supplement the student's expe- rience, a Freshman Seminar is held weekly during the first semester. Topics discussed during these ses- sions will meet the needs of the de- veloping student and will help the studentassimilatethecollegeexperi- ences. The freshmen students, hav- ing completed the orientation pro- gram and the series of seminars, will be better prepared to understand and appreciate their educational devel- opment. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply concerned with the total development of the in- dividual as a competent student and as a highly responsible citizen both on the campus and in the commu- nity. The University's high standards of personal conduct and responsibil- ity are an expression of its confidence in each student's potential as a hu- 32 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY man being; however, the students must be as willing to accept adult consequences as they are insistent upon being granted adult freedom of decision and action. Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowledge and in- tegrity are synonymous; therefore, a firm grasp of academic studies will not in itself be an assurance that a student is profiting fully from the col- lege 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. Ac- cepted students who demonstrate their unwillingness to meet standards will be terminated from the Univer- sity. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Undergraduate life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of a demo- cratic community; student govern- ment is mainly self-government. The Oglethorpe University Student Asso- ciation, consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamentarian of O.S.A. and the Presidents of the four classes, is the guiding and governing organiza- tion of student life at the University. Meetings are held regularly and no- tice posted. All students are urged to attend. Additional information may be obtained from O.S.A., Box 458, 3000 Woodrow Way, Atlanta, Geor- gia 30319. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Valuable educational experiences may be gained through active partici- pation in approved campus activities and organizations. 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 achieve- ment. Students are especially en- couraged to join professional organi- zations associated with their interests and goals. The value of a student's participation is a major consider- ation in determining scholarships.

At present three fraternities and two sororities contribute to the Greek sys- tem at Oglethorpe. The three fraternities are Chi Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa Al- pha. The national sororities are Chi Omega and Delta Zeta. These social' organizations con- tribute substantially to the spiritual and social betterment of the individ- ual and develop college into a richer, fuller experience. Membership in these organizations is voluntary and subject to regulations imposed by the groups, the University Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, or by the Student Government Associa- tion. ATHLETIC POLICY At Oglethorpe University the stu- dents who participate in intercollegi- ate competition are considered to be, first, students, and second, athletes. All students engaged in athletics must satisfy the same academic re- quirements as other students. There are no scholarships which are based solely on the athletic ability of the student. However, Oglethorpe spon- sors a program of Merit Awards which is described in another section of this bulletin. Most students partici- pating in intercollegiate athletics have won Merit Awards in amounts ranging from $500 to $4,460. ATHLETICS Oglethorpe University offers inter- collegiate competition in basketball, track, cross country, soccer, and ten- nis for men and in tennis, volleyball, track, and cross country for women. In addition to the intercollegiate competition, a well rounded pro- gram of intramural sports is offered and has strong participation by the student body. Men participate in football, volleyball, basketball, and softball. Women participate in vol- leyball, tennis, bowling, and softball. 34 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY INTERNSHIPS There is increasing interest on the campus in practical experience which complements the traditional academic program. Oglethorpe of- fers field experience assignments to prepare the student who seeks em- ployment immediately upon gradua- tion. This experience is designed to bridge theory and practice by involv- ing the student in a field related to his major program. Internships are available to stu- dents in all academic programs. Op- portunities are available in Atlanta's business, government, literary, edu- cation, social service, and health in- dustries. Detailed information is available through the office of Coun- seling and Career Development. COUNSELING The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides confidential professional assistance to students experiencing personal problems of a psychological, social, or circumstan- tial nature. Though academic advis- ing is the responsibility of individu- ally-assigned faculty mentors, stu- dents encountering unusual aca- demic difficulties may wish to con- sult a counselor regarding possible contributing factors. Assistance in developing effective study skills is also available both in special work- shops and, if needed, in individual conferences. Psychological tests are sometimes utilized in conjunction with the counseling process when circumstances indicate that these would be helpful. CAREER DEVELOPMENT Students needing guidance in se- lecting a career or assistance in ob- taining appropriate job placement can receive help from the Office of Career Development. An extensive career development library is main- tained containing information on a wide variety of career opportunities. Vocational interest inventories are also available and are frequently used as a part of a highly individual- ized process of career counseling. A four year program of career de- velopment is available to interested students. The program provides guid- ance with career decisions and spe- cific job preparation. Special atten- tion is given to the improvement of skills in conducting meetings, strengthening organizations, inter- viewing, constructing resumes, and public speaking. Oglethorpe University is a mem- ber of the College Placement Council and maintains contact with numer- ous local and national businesses, in- dustries, and social service agencies for the purpose of arranging employ- ment interviews for seniors. Informa- tion on full-time, part-time, and sum- meremployment opportunities is up- dated constantly and made available to all students and alumni. In addi- tion, a central placement file is main- tained on all students and alumni who complete the necessary forms and provide references of appraisal. Upon written request this placement file will be sent to any prospective employer or graduate school indica- ted. OPPORTUNITIES IN ATLANTA The Oglethorpe campus is located eight miles north of downtown At- lanta. This proximity to the South's greatest city offers Oglethorpe stu- dents many cultural advantages. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra per- forms during the fall and winter STUDENT LIFE/ 35 months in the Memorial Arts Center. The Atlanta Ballet Company sched- ules performances from November through March. Both The Theatre of the Stars and the Alliance Theatre Company present productions of contemporary and classical plays. These are only illustrative of the wide range of cultural opportunities of- fered by Atlanta. Student discounts are available for many performances. HOUSING The residence halls are available to all full time students. There are five men's residence halls and two women's halls. Both complexes have a Resident Director and staff of stu- dent Resident Assistants. All students living in the residence halls are required to participate in the University meal plan. Meals are served in the University Center. Nineteen meals are served each week. No breakfast is served on Sat- urday or Sunday. Instead a brunch is served from mid-morning until early afternoon. The evening meal is also served on these days. Meal tickets are issued at registration. HEALTH SERVICE All resident students subscribe to the Student Health and Insurance Plan provided by the University. The University maintains a small health center staffed by a registered nurse. The health center operates on a regular schedule, and provides ba- sic first aid service and limited medi- cal assistance for students. A physician visits the health center twice a week to make general diag- nosis and treatment. In the event ad- ditional or major medical care is re- quired, 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 the academic studies, group-living situation, or other relationships at the University or in the community, the student will be requested to withdraw. Re- admission to the University will be contingent upon acceptable verifica- tion that the student is ready to re- turn. The final decision will rest with the University. "O" BOOK The O Book is the student hand- book of Oglethorpe University. It contains thorough information on the history, customs, traditional events, and services of the Univer- sity, as well as all University regula- tions. This publication provides all the necessary information about the University which will aid each stu- dent in adjusting to college life.

Students are held ac- countable for all work missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is determined by the instructors for their own courses. Such regulations are published and distributed by each professor at the beginning of each term. GRADES A letter grading system is used. The range of "A-D" represents passing work; any grade below "D" is re- garded as a failure. Students with- drawing from a course before the end of the semester are given a "G" or "H", depending upon the circum- stances of the withdrawal. Students who do not meet all the requirements of a course are given an "I" (incom- plete) at the end of the semester. If the requirements are met by mid-semes- ter of the next term, the "I" is re- placed by the 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) AUAudit (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 grad- uate from Oglethorpe, must compile an over-all minimum average of 2.2. No student will be allowed to gradu- ate unless this minimum is met. For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of minimum aver- ages has been established. Freshmen are required to maintain a cumula- tive 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 1 20 semester hours is required, of which the last sixty must be earned at Oglethorpe except in exceptional cases (see page 17). 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 major 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 for- mally for graduation by the faculty. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS/ 39 MAJOR REQUIREMENTS The requirements for specific ma- jors vary among the disciplines. De- tailed requirements are listed in the sections dealing with majors. The student is advised to consult fre- quently with an advisor to satisfy both general and major require- ments. DEGREES Oglethorpe offers four degrees to those meeting the necessary require- ments: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Ad- ministration, and Master of Arts in Early Childhood and Middle Grades Education. Under the Bachelor of Arts, majors programs are offered in the following areas: Business Ad- ministration, Economics, Early Childhood, Middle Grades, Second- ary Education (with concentrations available in English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies), English, General Studies, History, Philoso- phy, Political Studies, Psychology, and Sociology. Under the Bachelor of Science, majors programs are of- fered in the following areas: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Medical Technology. Under the Bachelorof Business Administration, majors programs are offered in the following areas: Accounting, Busi- ness Administration, and Economics. Under certain conditions, it is also possible for a student to receive a degree from Oglethorpe under "Pro- fessional option." Through this ar- rangement and in accord with regu- lations of the University, the student may transfer to a recognized profes- sional institution such as law school, dental school, or medical school atthe end of the junior year and then, after one year in the profes- sional school, receive a 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 ju- niors and seniors of at least 2.2, are placed on probation for the fol lowing term. Academic probation is a strong warning to students that they must make substantial progress toward reestablishing their 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. Stu- dents who do not meet the following minimum cumulative average scale will be dismissed for academic rea- sons: 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 wifl be notified in writing of deficiencies. An opportu- nity will be given to attend summer school classes. All dismissals are sub- ject 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 f i led with the registrar after an absence of one semester. STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION For administrative and other offi- cial and extra-official purposes, stu- dents are classified according to the number of semester hours success- 40 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY fully 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 gen- erally five courses are taken, giving the student a total of twelve to sixteen semester hours each term. Regular students in the day classes are ex- pected 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 av- erage of 3.3 or better in any given semester for an academic load of at least five courses are given the dis- tinction of being placed on the Dean's List. DEGREES WITH HONORS Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: for a cumulative average of 3.5, the degree cum laude; for a cumulative average 3.7, the degree magna cum laude; for a cumulative average 3.9, the degree summa cum laude. ACCESS TO STUDENTS RECORDS To comply with the Family Educa- tional and Privacy Act of 1 974, com- monly called the Buckley Amend- ment, Oglethorpe University informs the students of their rights under this act in the student handbook, The "O" Book. Three basic rights are covered by this act: (1) the student's right to have access to personal re- cords, (2) the right of a hearing to challenge the content of a record and, (3) the right to give consent for the release of identifying data. Addi- tional information may be obtained from The "O" Book and from the Office of the Dean. GENERAL INFORMATION /41 General Information SEMESTER SYSTEM Oglethorpe University operates underthe semester system duringthe academic year. Two summer ses- sions of five weeks each, plus a ten week session in the evening make up the summer schedule. DIVISION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION The University's Division of Con- tinuing Education offers a variety of educational opportunities to adults in the metropolitan Atlanta area. In- cluded are credit courses in the lib- eral arts and business, non-credit courses, and educational experi- ences designed to meet the specific needs of employers of organizations and members of vocational groups. DEGREE PROGRAM An evening weekend credit pro- gram serves two groups: those wish- ing to take a limited number of courses for special purposes and those who desire to earn baccalaure- ate degrees. Degree programs are of- fered in Accounting, Business Ad- ministration, Economics, and Gen- eral Studies. Classes meet two nights a week (Monday and Wednesday; Tuesday and Thursday) and on Satur- day mornings. The academic year is divided into three full terms fall, spring and summer and an abbre- viated term in May. To qualify for the special tuition rates offered evening weekend students, a student must take all courses in the evenings or on Saturdays. NON-CREDIT COURSE PROGRAM The Division of Continuing Educa- tion serves as the University's com- munity service arm as it provides non-credit courses for adults. Care- fully planned courses meet varying educational needs of adults in the University's service area. Classes meet on weekday evenings in fall, winter and spring terms. HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT Training needs of organizations of business, industry and government and vocational groups in the north Atlanta area are met through individ- ually designed seminars, workshops and conferences. Emphasis is placed on training for managers, with a Cer- tificate in Management awarded to individuals who complete the pre- scribed course of study. Additional information is available from the Dean of Continuing Educa- tion, telephone number 404-233- 6662. 42 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY The Curriculum ORGANIZATION Oglethorpe's curriculum is ar- ranged in six general divisions: Hu- manities; Social Studies; Science; Education and Behavioral Sciences; Business and Economics; and Grad- uate Studies. Academic areas in- cluded within each are the follow- ing: Division I: The Humanities English Literature Foreign Languages Music Philosophy Religion Division VI: Graduate M.A. Early Childhood and Middle Grades Education Under the semester system, the cur- riculum offers courses of three and four hours credit. A full-time student carries a normal academic load of five courses during each term. A minimum of one hundred and twenty hours (or their equivalent for transfer students) is necessary for graduation. Some programs may re- quire additional credit. A core pro- gram according to the following schedule is required of all four-year students. Division II: Social Studies History Political Studies Division III: Science Biology Chemistry Mathematics Medical Technology Physics Division IV: Education and Behavioral Sciences Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Secondary Education Psychology Sociology Social Work Division V: Business and Economics Accounting Business Administration Economics CORE PROGRAM At Oglethorpe University, each student is required to complete a co- hesive group of courses. It is the opin- ion of the faculty that these courses are essential to a well rounded un- dergraduate course of study. Some institutions have distribution require- ments. That is, students are required to take a certain number of credit hours in each department. However, it is our belief that this "cafeteria no- tion" of course selection is less suc- cessful in providing essential knowl- edge and skills than is the planned and cohesive core which is required at Oglethorpe. In addition, it continues to be Uni- versity policy to provide instruction of the highest quality in the core courses. No graduate assistants are used. The courses are taught by well- trained faculty members. It is not un- usual to find a large percentage of these courses taught by senior faculty members. THE CURRICULUM/ 43 Thefollowing is the core program: Western Civilization I and II 6 hours United States Government 3 hours One of the following: 3 hours Modern World International Relations Constitutional Law American History Principles of Economics I 3 hours Introduction to Sociology 3 hours Introduction to Psychology 3 hours One of the following: 3 hours Introduction to Philosophy Ethics and Social Issues *English Composition 0-9 hours One of the following: 3 hours Music Appreciation Art Appreciation Two of the following: 6 hours American Literature I American Literature II English Literature I English Literature II English Literature III English Literature IV Western World Literature I Western World Literature II Mathematics 3 hours "Biological Science 3 hours ""Physical Science 3 hours COURSES OF STUDY In the following section, the courses are listed numerically by area within their respective Divi- sions. Each course is designated by a fourdigit number. The first digit indi- cates the course level. (For example: freshman is 1 ; sophomore, 2 etc.) The second and third digits designate the discipline. Each level of offerings assumes the earlier completion of necessary prerequisites. The number of hours refers to the semester hours credit per term allowed for the course. The designation "3+3" or "4+4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester hours of credit, respectively, for two semes- ters of work. MAJORS PROGRAMS Upon entering Oglethorpe Uni- versity all students are assigned a fac- ulty mentor who assists them in the preparation of their academic pro- gram. Responsibility, however, for taking the requisite core and major courses rests exclusively with the stu- dent. A student may declare a major at any time during the freshman or sophomore year by filing the appro- priate form with the Registrar's Of- fice. Changes of major must also be submitted to the Registrar for ap- proval. Each student must declare a major before completing 60 semester hours. In addition to the required core program, most of the majors include three levels of courses; those pre- scribed for the major, directed elec- tives recommended as immediately related to the major, and free elec- tives allowed to enable each student to widen his intellectual interests. Variations of each program are possi- ble, accordingto the particular needs of the student and the regulations of each department. Majors programs are offered in the following: Accounting Biology Business Administration Chemistry Economics Education-Early Childhood Education-Middle Grades Education-Secondary English Exemption may be granted based upon the student's scores on the composition placement test. This test is usually administered the day before registration. "One of the following may be substituted for this requirement Biology I, Biology II, Botany I, Botany II. ***One of the following may be substituted for this requirement Chemistry I, Chemistry II, Physics I, Physics I!, Principles of Science I, Principles of Science II. 44 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY General Studies History Mathematics Medical Technology Philosophy Physics Political Studies Psychology Sociology DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ART Students seeking a broadly based educational experience involving the types of programs generally found at a liberal arts college as well as the specialized training offered by a professional college may consider a dual degree opportunity. Ogle- thorpe University and The Atlanta College of Art offer a joint program for students interested in a career in the visual arts. In this program, the student enrolls at Oglethorpe for two years, completes sixty semester hours of work, including the core re- quirements, and then enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art for approxi- mately three years. The student is required to com- plete 3 credit hours in Art Apprecia- tion and at least 6 credit hours in Art Studio electives at Oglethorpe. In ad- dition, the student completes six credit hours in second semester Foundation Design at The Atlanta College of Art, preferably during the fourth semester at Oglethorpe. (This requirement or an equal substitute must be met before the student is en- rolled for Introductory Studio classes at ACA.) Upon successful competion of all of the core requirements plus the aforementioned art electives, the stu- dent enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and completes 78 credit hours in Introductory and Advanced Studio and 12 credit hours in Art History electives. Upon completion of the joint pro- gram, the student receives the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Oglethorpe and the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Atlanta College of Art. Students participating in the dual- degree program must meet the en- trance requirements of both institu- tions. DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING Oglethorpe University is asso- ciated with the Georgia Institute of Technology and Auburn University in combined programs of liberal arts and engineering. The programs re- quire the student to complete three years at Oglethorpe University and the final two years at one of the engi- neering schools. The three years at Oglethorpe include general educa- tion courses and prescribed courses in mathematics and the physical sci- ences. The two years of technical education require the completion of courses in one of the branches of engineering. The recommendation of the engi- neering advisory committee at the end of the three years of liberal stu- dies is sufficient to guarantee the student's admission to the engi- neering programs. In this combined plan, the two degrees which are awarded upon the successful com- pletion of the program are the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Oglethorpe University and the degree of Bache- lor of Science in Engineering by the engineering school. Because the pre- engineering schools are slightly dif- ferent, the student is well advised to consult early and frequently with the members of the engineering advisory committee. THE CURRICULUM/ 45 GENERAL STUDIES The General Studies Major is available to students who prefer not to select a specific major. The degree awarded is Bachelor of Arts in Gen- eral Studies. The General Studies Major con- sists of the following: completion of the basic core requirements; com- pletion of a sufficient number of course hours to complete the 1 20 se- mester hours prescribed for an Oglethorpe degree; completion of a coherent sequence of courses in- cluding at least 1 8 semester hours in onediscipline and 12 semester hours in another discipline (in thefirstcate- gory no more than two courses could be core requirements, and in the sec- ond category only one could be a core requirement); and completion of at least 36 semester hours in courses designated as advanced courses. Concentrations in General Studies also include Pre-law, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Nursing, Post- Nursing, Pre-Optomety, Pre- Pharmacy, Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre-Seminary, and Metro Life Stu- dies. Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Studies Students interested in attending medical or dental schools should consult the catalogs of these schools to be able to plan an undergraduate program to fulfill their requirements. A summary of the requirements of all medical schools is available in the annual bulletin of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Specific premedical course re- quirements vary among the schools. However, all recognize the impor- tance of a broad educational back- ground. A coordinated program which includes extensive study in the natural sciences, development of communication skills, and study of the social sciences and humanities is most desirable. Students should consult regularly with both the medical school cata- logs and the premedical advisor on the Oglethorpe campus. It must be recognized that medical schools set certain minimum science and math- ematics requirements for applicants. These minimum requirements can be met by completion of the following courses: General Chemistry I and II, Biology I and II, Calculus I, Elemen- tary Quantitative Analysis, Organic Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry, Physics I and II, and four additional directed electives in Biology. Professional option is available to highly qualified students. Thisoption allows pre-medical students to enter their respective professional pro- grams at the end of the junior year. Credit is awarded at Oglethorpe for the academic credit earned during the first year of medical school. Pre-Nursing A program of study for students in- terested in nursing is available at Oglethorpe. This program consists of 60 semester hours (two years) of study in the liberal arts and sciences which are to be taken at Oglethorpe. After completion of this program, the student may complete the require- ments for the R.N. degree at any ac- credited program of nursing. Sixty hours of credit are awarded for the R.N. degree and the student is then eligibleforgraduation with the Bach- elor of Arts degree in General Stu- dies. In addition to completing the requirements for the R.N. degree, the 46 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY student is required to successfully complete the following courses; Freshman English I and II, College Mathematics, Biology I and II, litera- ture sequence (see core program), In- troduction to Psychology, Introduc- tion to Sociology, Principles of Eco- nomics I, General Chemistry I and II, Genetics, Physiology, Microbiology, and two electives. Pre-nursing stu- dents are exempt from general core requirements not listed above. Post-Nursing This concentration is designed for students who have been awarded the R.N. degree from an accredited pro- gram in nursing. The varied nature of the applicant's academic back- ground necessitates a flexible pro- gram leading to the degree of Bache- lor of Arts in Post-Nursing. Require- ments for this concentration include the successful completion of eight core courses (24 semester hours) not previously taken. These courses are listed in the section of this catalog dealing with the University's general core program. In addition, students take twelve directed electives (36 se- mester hours) depending upon their special needs and interests.
