Purpose

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

"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, arid 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
making a life and making a 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 indivdual

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 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 smypathies 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 living standard, and a better way
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 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 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 all that ensues. We necessar-
ily 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 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.

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-
ege, particularly in the form devel-
oped at Oxford and Cambridge in the
18th and 19th 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 basis on
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 arc 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 / '

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 vi'hich
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 is the
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 vje 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 tlie 1977 Annual Report).

History

One of the South's oldest and
finest educational institutions,

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, 1838, 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. Its president during 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 1850'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
Atlanta in 1909 to serve as executive
secretary in a campaign to raise funds
for Agnes Scott Collge. 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 1920'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 facility.

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
1931, 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 1944 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-
ting 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 Jong 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.

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 v^eW 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 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, recreational
facilities, snack bar, post office, book
store, student activity offices, con-
ference 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-
tions, 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.

biology, chemistry and physics, and
modern lecture 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 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

TRAERHALL

Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in
1915 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, 81 13.

GOSLIN HALL

This science center was completed
during the fall of 1971 and houses the
science department. Laboratories for

Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three
story women's residence which houses
168 students. Construction of the
building was made possible through
the generosity of the late Wayne S.
Traer, Oglethorpe University alumnus
of the Class of 1928. These accom-
modations 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 bailt 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 arc 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.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS / 15

Philip Weltner and Dr. Tinronwell 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

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.

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 1972 to include overnight facilities
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.

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 EXAMINATION

There are two testing programs
through which students may earn credit
or exemption for required or elective
courses. These two programs are de-
scribed below. Any student 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 the 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 Examination. 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

a particular course. A minimum ac-
ceptable score of 50 in a subject
examination 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 recieve
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.

The University is able to offer ad-
mission to non-traditional students
by recognizing their strengths in en-
thusiasm, motivation, and maturity.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

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.

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 airivai 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.

Financial Assistance

PROGRAMS

Oglethorpe University provides
students with an opportunity to ob-
tain financial assistance for part of
their educational expenses. 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 $1900. For
freshmen, these awards are based on
the applicant's aptitude test scores
(SAT or ACT). For upperclas^men
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-
embly. 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 cost 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
1980-81 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 "proverty" areas that are
designated by the U.S. Commis-
sioner of Education, for teaching
handicapped children, and for teach-
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's financial need. Students eli-
gible for this program work part-time
on the Oglethorpe campus.

Georgia Student Finance Authority
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 informa-
tion.

Georgia Incentive Scholarship
(G.I.S.), as defined by the Georgia

Student Finance Authority is a "pro-
gram created by an act of the 1974
Georgia General Assembly in order
to establish a program of needs-based
scholarships for qualified Georgia
residents to enable them to attend
eligible post-secondary institutions of
their choice within the state." The
scholarship awards are designed to
provide only a portion of the student's
resources in financing the total cost of
post-secondary education.

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.

Opportunity Grant, National Direct
Student Loan, Supplemental Educa-

LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS

Leadership Scholarships are avail-
able to students with superior academic
ability and special talents in
important fields of extracurricular
activity. 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; social service; and
athletic talent. A fundamental aim of
Oglethorpe University is to prepare
students for leadership roles in society.
One way of promoting this purpose is
to give special recognition to students
who demonstrate leadership capa-
bilities as undergraduates. Scholarships
in amounts up to full tuition and room
and board are awarded to superior
students with good character and
leadership capability who can con-
tribute significantly to one of the
fields of extracurricular activity. The
individual amounts of these awards
vary. It is the intent of this program to
provide the difference between the
amount of other assistance, if any, and
the annual cost of attending
Oglethorpe.

Recipients of funds from this
program will be expected to maintain
specified levels of academic achieve-
ment and to continue to make signi-
ficant contributions to their respective
activities. Each award is for one year,
but can be renewed on the basis of an
annual evaluation of academic and
other performance. Students must be
nominated by members of the faculty
and staff in order to be considered
for an award.

FEES AND COSTS

The fees, costs and dates listed
below are for 1980-81. The fees for
1981-82 will be determined in October
and will be approximately 7-10%
higher.

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 institutional
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 12-16 semester
hours. These are classified as full
time students. Students taking less
than 12 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 $60.00
for each additional hour. Tuition and
fees for the Fall term are due on
August 14, 1980. Tuition and fees
for the Spring term are due on Janu-
ary 2, 1981. Failure to make the nec-
cessary 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 tuition and room
and board charges, stixients 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 accessed the
$ 1 00 damage deposit.

and personal expense. All fees are
subject to change.

PART-TIME FEES

Fees for 1981-82 will be approxi-
mately 6-10% higher than those listed
below.

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

Fees for 1981-82 will be approxi-
mately 6-10% higher than those listed
below.

Students who are enrolled as eve-
ning school students will be charged
$190 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 lab courses in-
clude an additional $15.00 labora-
tory fee.

SUMMER SCHOOL FEES

Fees for 1981-82 will be approxi-
mately 6-10% higher than those listed
below.

All students enrolled in Summer
School will be assessed $190 per
three semester hour course. The rate
for four-hour lab courses is $255 plus
a $15.00 laboratory fee.

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 which 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
responsiblity stated above concern-
ing the official withdrawal policy.
The student may receive the grade of
withdrawal passing (G), withdrawal
failing (H), or failure due to excessive
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 consectuive
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 student 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.

In the following schedules, "class
day" means any day during which the
University conducts classes.

REFUND SCHEDULE FOR
WITHDRAWALS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY

Before 1st class day 100%

By the end of the 7th

class day 75%

By the end of the 14th

class day 50%

By the end of the 20th

class day 25%

REFUND SCHEDULE FOR
CHANGES IN SCHEDULE

Changes in schedule by the end of
the 7th class day 100%

the 10th class day 75%

Changes in schedule by the end of
the 16th class day 50%

Changes in schedule by the end of
the 20th class day 25%

In order to administer the refund
policy equitably, there will be no ex-
ceptions.

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 se-
mester in progress.

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 ap-
preciation of constructive values, the
setting of goals, public speaking,
human relations, and organizational
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. Information
is disseminated which acquaints the
student with the academic program
and the extracurricular life of the
campus community. Thorough under-
standing of the advising system, the
registration process, library use, class
offerings, and study demands is sought.
Alternatives for self expression out-
side the classroom are also presented
to the new student.

To supplement the student's expe-
rience, a Freshman Seminar is held
early in the first semester. Topics
discussed during these sessions will
meet the needs of the developing
student and will help the student
assimilate the college experiences. The
freshmen students, having completed
the orientation program and the series
of seminars, will be better prepared
to understand and appreciate their
educational development.

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-
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.

32 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

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 Oglethrope
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-
tices 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.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

University social fraternities were
re-instituted at Oglethorpe in 1967;
sororities followed in 1968. 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 parti-
cipating 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.

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 arc
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-
mer employment opportunties 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 indicated.

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

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.

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.

HEALTH SERVICE

All resident students subscribe to
the Student Health and Insurance
Plan provided by the University.

The University maintains a small

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-

Academic Regulations

CLASS ATTENDANCE

MINIMUM ACADEMIC AVERAGE

The University recognizes atten-
dance at classes as the responsibility
of the student. 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.

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.

GRADES

A letter grading system is used. The
v'ange 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 no 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-
semester of the next term, the "I" is
replaced 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

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: Economics, Early
Childhood, Middle Grades, Second-
ary Education (with concentrations
available in English, Mathematics,
Science and Social Studies), English,
General Studies, History, International
Studies, Philosophy, Political Studies,
Psychology, and Sociology. Under the
Bachelor of Science, majors programs
are offered in the following areas:
Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics, and Medical Technology.
Under the Bachelor of Business
Administration, majors programs are
offered in the following areas:
Accounting, Business 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 an accredited profes-
sional institution such as law school,
dental school, or medical school at
the end of the junior year and then,
after one year in the professional

school, receive a degree from
Oglethorpe. Students, interested in
this possibility should consult with
their mentors to make certain that all
conditions are met.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

Normally the evaluation of acad-
emic progress is done at the end of the
Fall and Spring semesters. Any new
students, freshmen or transfer stud-
ents, who fail to pass any subject
during their first semester will be dis-
missed.

Academic probation is a strong
warning to students that they must
make substantial progress toward re-
establishing their good standing during
the following semester or be dismissed
from the University. Students on pro-
bation for two consecutive semesters
will be dismissed.

The following standards are used
to determine good standing:

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.

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.

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
four digit 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, according to 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 1, Biology II,

Botany I, Botany II.
***One of the following may be substituted for this requirement - Chemistry I, Chemistry
II, Physics I, Physics II, Principles of Science I, Principles of Science II.

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 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
atACA.)

Upon successful completion 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

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 year of liberal arts 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 120 se-
mester hours prescribed for an
Oglethorpe degree; completion of a
coherent sequence of courses in-
cluding at least 18 semester hours
in one discipline and 12 semester
hours in another discipline (in the first
category no more than two courses
could be core requirements, and in the
second 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
may include Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine,
Pre-Seminary, Pre-Professional Health
Studies.

Pre-Medical and Pre-Professional
Health Studies

Programs can be designed in the
General Studies major that will pro-
vide a student with appropriate back-
ground for admission to professional
schools of medicine, dentistry, opto-
metry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine,
nursing, physical therapy and other al-
lied health fields. Specific course re-
quirements for admission to the pro-
fessional schools vary, both with the
individual school and with the parti-
cular program, and students should
plan their Oglethorpe courses with
the aim of fulfilling the specific ad-
mission requirements. Summaries of
the admission requirements are given
in various publications available from

the faculty in Oglethorpe's Science
Division. Pre-medical students, for
example, should consult the annual
bulletin of Medical School Admission
Requirements published by the Assoc-
iation of American Medical Colleges.
The Oglethorpe Science Faculty are
prepared to assist the student in con-
tacting professional schools, and the
student should endeavor to do this
early in their course work at Ogle-
thorpe and no later than their second
semester of studies. This will enable
the student and the Oglethorpe
mentor to design the proper sequence
of courses and to establish an approp-
riate time frame for completion of
requirements.

All schools of professional health
science recognize the importance of a
broad education background. A co-
ordinated program which includes ex-
tensive study in the natural sciences
and mathematics, development of
communication skills, and serious ex-
ploration of the social sciences and hu-
manitites is most desirable. First year
courses should generally include
General Biology 1 and II, General
Chemistry I and II, English Compos-
ition I and II and appropriate Mathe-
matics courses; courses in subsequent
years are chosen to fulfill the stu-
dent's specific needs.

Professional option is available to
highly qualified students seeking ad-
mission to appropriately accredited
colleges of medicine, dentistry and
veterinary medicine. This option
allows students to enter their res-
pective professional schools at the end
of their junior year. Credit is awarded
at Oglethorpe for the academic credit
earned during the first year of pro-
fessional school. In allied health fields,
successful completion of work in an
accredited program and a minimum
of 60 semester hours credit earned
at Oglethorpe must be presented
for a student to be considered for the

46 /OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY

degree Bachelor of Arts in General
Studies with a concentration in pre-
professional health studies.

Pre-Law

Undergraduate students planning to
enter law school after graduation from
Oglethorpe should realize that neither
leading law schools nor the American
Bar Association endorse a particular
pre-law major. The student is advised,
however, to take courses that
enhance the basic skills of a' liberally
educated person; reading with com-
prehension, writing, speaking, and
reasoning in quantitative terms. The
student is encouraged to become
more familiar with political, economic,
and social institutions as they have
developed historically and as they
function in contemporary society. Stu-

dents are referred to the Pre-Law
Handbook, which is available from the
pre-law advisors, for a more complete
discussion of the desirable aspects of
a pre-law curriculum.

Pre-Seminary

Pre-seminary students should plan
a liberal arts curriculum with empha-
sis on philosophy, religion, en-
glish and foreign language courses. A
faculty mentor will aid in the selec-
tion of a particular field of study. For
further guidance, the chairman of the
Humanities Division makes availa-
ble a list of courses recommended by
the American Association of Theo-
logical Schools. Juniors and seniors
are encouraged to take an internship
related to their course work.

HUMANITIES /47

Division I Humanities

To insure the orderly completion of the program, the student should consult
with the appropriate faculty member in the department or division at the time

divisional requirements and allowable substitutions and alternatives.

for spring placement by October 15.

4. Completion of the entire approved program as found on the following
pages. Professional courses should be completed according to the
sequence listed in the approved program; detailed programs may be
obtained from the Education mentors.

Admission to Oglethorpe University does not admit a student to the
Teacher Education Program. A person doing satisfactory academic work and
approved by the Teacher Education Committee is admitted. Once admitted,
the student's progress and record are subject to regular review by the advisor,
other professors, and the Teacher Education Committee. No student on
academic probation will be scheduled to do student teaching until such
probation is removed.

Admission to and retention in the Teacher Education Program are based in
general on the following characteristics and achievements: evidence of good
moral character and personality; evidence of emotional stability and physical
stamina; a desire to work with children and/or youth; demonstration of
proficiency in oral and written English; a cumulative average of at least 2.2
with no grade less than "C" in a professional course; evidence of responsibility
in student endeavors.

tency in the subject field by making a satisfactory score on a state adminis-

EDUCATION AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES / 71

tered criterion-referenced test and must demonstrate the ability to perform
competently in the classroom setting. Forms needed to apply for the Georgia
teaching certificate are available in the office of the Director of Teacher
Education.

Approved programs leading to teacher certification in Georgia are
described in the following sections. All approved programs include the
requirements for meeting core requirements at Oglethorpe. They may require
more general education than is required to meet the core requirements for
graduation, or they may require certain courses which may be applied to the
core; careful advisement is necessary on the part of all students preparing to
teach. Public speaking is a suggested elective for all education majors.

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND MIDDLE GRADES EDUCATION

Persons desiring to teach in the elementary grades must select either Early
Childhood (K-4) or Middle Grades (4-8) as a concentration. General educa-
