The General Board of Trustees and Founders meets at least once each year, at commencement time, on the university campus near Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all matters of large importance in the University, and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by them and from their number, and which attends to the details of management of the Institution between the meet- ings of the Board of Founders. Each member of the Board represents a gift of two thousand dollars or more to the University, or an annual gift of not less than $100.00. Thus there is no one associated with the ownership or control of the institution in an important capacity who is not making a personal sacrifice in its behalf. Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the man- agement of an institution. It is already in operation and its perfect practicability is largely responsible for the mar- velous success of the University. Prospective students will not fail to note the quality of these men, representing the thousands of men and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consummated this fine pur- pose. As representatives and governors of the Institution they will take pleasure in giving any inquirers information as to the aims and progress of the University. *The list given on the following pages is corrected up to March 1, 1923.

After a while the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested the building of a similar institution under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began with the Spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual school, and this, in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, then the capital of the State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institu- tion. Old Oglethorpe College was thus the first denomina- tional college or university between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans south of the Virginia line, and, of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institu- tions which were born after her in this vast empire. The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected, and "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton." In the Faculty of the Institution may be found the names of men who are world-famous. Among these were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist; James Woodrow, the brilliant and devoted Christian and Scientist; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator, and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of old Oglethorpe that after three years of in- struction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the Spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away Oglethorpe University 19 to the wars. Shortly before his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked to a friend that the greatest moral impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe through the influence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent alumni include governors, justices, modera- tors of the General Assembly, discoverers, inventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb laborers for the high- est ideals of humanity. Oglethorpe, "died at Gettysburg," for during the war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds, and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive the institution in the 70's and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster made the adventure impossible and unsuccessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed for the second time. Only eleven years have passed since the campaign to re- found began and they have been years of financial disaster and utter turmoil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of the institution have passed the sum of a million dollars as the result of unusual and self-sacrificing liberality on the part of over five thousand people. The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on January 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraved upon it: "Manu Dei Resurrexit" (By the Hand of God She has Risen from the Dead.) THE OPENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1916 Oglethorpe University opened her doors in the Fall of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife she rose to breathe the airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite, trimmed with limestone, covered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, was ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1916, when 20 Oglethorpe University her first class gathered on her beautiful campus on Peach- tree Road. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institu- tion in the country has been formed. The work of raising funds and new construction goes steadily on. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disaster that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world to gape. THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like a romance. Beginning only ten yeans ago with a contribu- tion of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined to see that their city had a university, as well as a band of far-see- ing educational leaders, who wished to erect a certain high type of institution in this splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise; of how the story has been told in cities, towns and country all over the South from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia, and from Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaign staged in this city just nine years ago; all this is well known. Since that time the same wonderful record has been maintained. There are now something like five thousand men, women and children all of whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to $75,000.00. They are the Founders of the University; they belong to the great Founders' Club which is carrying the movement forward so splendidly. HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY An idea of the quality of construction and design of the institution may be gained from the accompanying illustra- tions. (See Frontispiece.) Oglethorpe University 21 It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful uni- versities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy variegated slates. The construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The first building is the one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's- eye view. The new building, given by Mr. and Mrs. Lupton, our beloved benefactors, is the one with the tower just oppo- site on the left of the entrance. The total cost of construc- tion of the buildings shown in the above design with the landscape work required, will be approximately $3,000,000. The building plan will be followed out in its entirety. HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the in- stitution about which the men who are founding Oglethorpe are most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of their university. To that end they have resolved to form a faculty and adopt a curriculum that will be of the highest possible quality, their thought being excellence in every de- partment. They will take the superb traditions of the old Oglethorpe and add the best of this present age to them. Doubtless Oglethorpe will be a big university some day, but she is already a great one, and it is greatness rather than bigness which her founders crave most for her. FOUNDERS' BOOK In the Founders' Room at Oglethorpe there will be a Book containing the name of every man, woman and child who aided in the founding of the University, arranged alphabeti- cally, by states. That Book will be accessible to every stu- dent and visitor who may want to know who it was from 22 Oglethorpe University his or her home that took part in the doing of this, the greatest deed that has been attempted for our sons and daughters in this generation. The Book is not yet complete, because the work is not yet finished, and each month is add- ing many to this role of honor, whose names will thus be preserved in the life and archives of Oglethorpe University forever. CLOCK AND CHIMES In the tower of the new building given by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, is installed a clock and chimes, the gift of Mrs. H. Frederick Lesh, of Newton Center, Mass. There are two dials to the clock, and they are illuminated at night. It is interesting to note that this is the only tower clock in Atlanta and the only chimes on any college campus in Geor- gia. On the largest of the bells, which weighs a ton, is the following inscription: We were given by Grace Josephine Lesh That the hours at Oglethorpe Might be filled with Music and Harmony. THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University, realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty whose spiritual and intellectual equipment should be capable of satisfying the tremendous demand of a really great institu- tion of learning, has spared no effort or pains in securing a body of men who would not only possess that first requisite of a teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two other requisites of almost equal importance: power of im- parting their ideals and knowledge, and intellectual acquire- ments adequate for their department. The most important element in education is the creating in the student of an in- Oglethorpe University 23 tense yearning for and delight in the Good, the True and the Beautiful, and the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is the example set before him by the Faculty. The University now has a corps of teachers unsurpassed in any institution of its size and age. The names are given in the order of their election. THORNWELL JACOBS A.

Oglethorpe has held intercollegiate debates with Mercer University, Auburn Polytechnic, and the University of the South at Sewanee. 30 Oglethorpe University IMMEDIATE FURFOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of Oglethorpe University is to offer courses of study leading to the higher academic and professional degrees, under a Christian environment, and thus to train young men who wish to become specialists in professional and business life and teachers in our High Schools and Colleges, and to supply the growing demand for specially equipped men in every department of human activity. Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President, in order that they may be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses which are to be offered. Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are being pro- vided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made of the city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for obser- vation, inspection and investigation. The first unit of the building plan is the equivalent in capacity of four buildings, each 50 by 60 feet, three stories high. Of these, two are dormitories, one, lecture halls, lab- oratories and offices, and the fourth, dining hall and refectory. A new building has been recently erected, to be used as a dormitory. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton has made possible, also, the erection of another building, which contains the Library, President's Office, Assembly Hall, Lec- ture Rooms, Central Clock and Chimes, and Founders' Room and Tower.

In supplying this need, which has for a long while been acutely felt in the South, the management of the University will be content with only the very highest grade of work and facilities. Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate department heading. These degrees are based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved institution. In general, it may be said that the degree of Master of Arts will be given for one year of additional study in graduate subjects more or less related to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy requires at least three years of graduate work. But neither degree is guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A certain amount of work must be accomplished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy the Professors con- cerned and the whole Faculty. It is required that the candi- date for Ph. D. demonstrate by examination not later than the end of his first year, his ability to read German and French, and the student must have completed the under- graduate work in the subject to which he wishes to give his chief attention. A thesis must be submitted, showing original work. In this connection, the prospective student will be inter- ested in learning that all Professors chosen as the heads of departments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained the highest academic degree offered in that department. This fact is mentioned in order to indicate the earnest de- termination of the Board of Directors of the University that her Faculty shall include only men of the highest intellectual Oglethorpe University 45 attainment as well as men of great teaching power and strong personal character. The President of the University will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be offered during 1923-24. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educational world looks toward the union of academic with professional education. The broadening effect of association of profes- sional students with other classmen on the university cam- pus, as well as the valuable opportunity for contact with academic work, renders this connection highly desirable. It is the purpose of the University to enter the field of pro- fessional education as quickly as funds are secured to enable us to do so adequately. Schools of Engineering, Architec- ture, Dentistry, Law and Medicine will be established as op- portunity offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot be executed with the same quality of matter and form that is offered in the best institutions of our country. SPECIAL COURSES Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law o; Engineering and who do not desire to study for an academic degree are allowed to take such courses as will lead to their professional work. Such students must present at least twelve units for entrance; of these four and one-half are required: English (3) and Mathematics (iy 2 ). The following courses are suggested: PRE-PROFESSIONAL COURSES Students who are contemplating the professions of law, medicine or dentistry, and who do not desire to study for an academic degree, are allowed to take such work as will pre- pare them for entrance to professional schools. In addition 46 Oglethorpe University to the required high school units for college entrance, pre- professional students must complete a two-year assignment, including thirty-eight year hours. The specific conditions for completing the several pre-professional courses are detailed as follows: PRELAW To be arranged in consultation with Dr. Libby Required subjects: Hrs Political Science 6 Economics 6 English 6 History 6 Corporation Finance 3 Investments 3 Electives 8 38 Elective subjects: Hrs. 3 3 Law Business Problems Business Psychology Advertising Salesmanship 3 Modern Language 6 Bible 4 Bookkeeping and Accounting 4 PRE-MEDICAL AND PRE-DENTAL Required subjects: Hrs.

Oglethorpe University 47 necessary for the professional man to have a thorough foun- dation for his professional studies, and the professional schools are becoming more strict in their requirements for entrance. Particularly is this the case in Medicine, where the best medical colleges require a diploma from a standard college for en- trance. We would strongly advise our students to study the suggestions made on page 37 and have their college diploma safely in hand before they begin their professional studies. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1923-24 The policy of the Board of Directors of the University has been and will be to "hasten slowly" in the work of or- ganization of the Institution. They, therefore, began the first year's work with one class, the Freshman. They are now ready to offer the full work of the under-graduate classes. The courses offered for the year 1923-24 are as follows: THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE Cosmic History In the endeavor to give to the graduates of the University a course that will co-ordinate the knowledge they have ob- tained in the departments of Biology, Geology, Palaeontology, etc., with their work in Bible, Ethics and Philosophy, the President of the University will meet the Senior Class one hour per week, Wednesday, at 10:45, in a seminar covering a story of human life following the broad outlines of Astronomy, Geology, Palaeontology, Embryology, Anthropology and Ar-. chaeology. The course closes with a study of the first ten chapters of Genesis in relation to modern discoveries. It is especially designed to give the graduates of Oglethorpe Uni- versity a conception of the harmony between religion and modern science and is required of all Seniors. It is believed that this work of co-ordination of modern science with religion can best be done in the senior class to the end that in harmon- izing the truths learned their faith may not be unsettled. 48 Oglethorpe University BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY The course in English Bible extends over two years; it i* required for the B. A. degree in all four Departments, and must be pursued by every under-graduate student. The first year is devoted to the Old Testament, the second to the New Testament, together with the intervening period. The study will include the mastery of the history contained in the Bible, an analysis of each book, and such other matters as are required for the proper understanding of the work. It will be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as mere history or literature. The aim will be to impart such a knowledge of the subject as every intelligent man should possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and profit. The effort will be made to give the students the proper defense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the objec- tions of unbelievers. Text-Books Bible 1. English Bible, Moorehead's Outline Studies in the Books of the Old Testament. Bible 2. Vollmer's Life of Christ, Kerr's Introduction to New Testament Study. This course will be followed in the Junior and Senior year by Psychology, Ethics, History of Philosophy, and Evidences of Christianity. Psychology. An elementary course in Theoretical Psychol- ogy, with some collateral study in Philosophy. Required for all Juniors in the Classical, Scientific, Literary and Educa- tional Schools.

Davis' Elements of Ethics, Weber's History of Philosophy, Wright's Evidences of Christianity. ENGLISH Mr. Watkins Professor Routh Mr. Robertson The work in English in the first two years is designed to give students a mastery of their own tongue for speaking and writing, and to familiarize them with the best English litera- ture. The elective courses, given mainly for Juniors and Seniors, provide intensive study in special fields. The sum- mer courses, though not identical with the winter courses, are planned along similar lines, and give corresponding credits. This will enable a student to complete a portion of his re- quirements for a degree in the summer. For graduate students work is offered leading to the degree of M. A. English 1. Composition. Practice in speaking and writ- ing, with collateral study of masterpieces of modern prose. The chief object of the course is to teach the student to ar- range his thoughts clearly and present them with force. He is also encouraged to enlarge his vocabulary and his stock of ideas by the reading of good essays. All Freshmen 3 hours. English 2. English Literature. A study of the best Eng- lish poetry and prose, with special attention to style and to philosophic content and to the historical development of lit- erature.

These or other courses can be arranged to suit the needs of the stu- dents, but they will be so given as to enable the student who has a college degree to obtain the M. A. degree in two years, or by intensive study in a shorter time. Supplementary courses in other departments are also required of the candidate. Some ten thousand volumes and pamphlets in English Scholarship recently added to the College library are now available for use. Oglethorpe University 51 LIBRARY ECONOMICS Miss Alma Hill Jamieson The class in Library Economics meets three times weekly, beginning with the January term. All students who have com- pleted three terms of Freshman English are eligible. This course is designed to instruct the student in the elements of the decimal classification, the use of the card catalog, and to make him familiar with the best known reference books on every subject. GREEK Professor Nicolassen. Three years of Greek will be offered in the undergraduate classes, together with a preparatory class for those who are unprepared for Greek I. Preparatory Greek. This class is designed not merely for those who have no knowledge of the language, but also for those whose preparation is inadequate.

Text-Books: Benner and Smyth's Beginner s Greek Book, Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White). Three times a week throughout the year. Elective. Greek 1. The preparation for entrance into this class is not so much a matter of time as of thoroughness. The stu- dent is expected to know the ordinary Attic inflections and syntax, to have read about one book of the Anabasis, and to have had considerable practice in translating English into Greek. The use of accents is required. A part of the work of this class consists of the minute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis of tenses, pr\(\ th? inflection of certain portions. 52 Oglethorpe University Written translations of English into Greek are required once a week. On the other days a short oral exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson; so that in each recitation some practice is had in translating English into Greek. Text-Books: Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White), Memorabilia, Adams's Lysias, Goodwin's Greek Grammar, Pearson's Greek Prose Composition, Myer's Eastern Nations and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon, (unabridged).

Sugges- tions will be made as to the best means of helping pupils to acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of procedure and the subjects treated will depend somewhat on the personnel of the class. The work will be undertaken if as many as ten persons offer themselves. This class will probably meet on Saturdays. 54 Oglethorpe University Graduate Course for Special Students. Persons who are teaching or otherwise occupied during the week and who would like to do some graduate work in Latin or Greek by coming on Saturdays, should communicate with the Professor. Graduate Course in Latin and Greek Those who are thinking of taking the graduate courses are advised to write to the President or to the Professor, that their preliminary studies may be so guided as to fit them for the work.

Oglethorpe University 61 THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION COMMERCE AND FINANCE Undergraduate Course Leading to the Degree of Bach- elor of Arts (B. A.) in Commerce Graduate Courses Leading to Advanced Degrees Prof. Libby. Mrs. Libby. Mr. Maxwell. The School of Business Administration, Commerce and Finance is an undergraduate-graduate school, one of the pro- fessional divisions of the University. Instruction is therefore directed toward professional education rather than narrow technical drill. Entrance requirements for the undergraduate work are the same as for the School of Liberal Arts, except that Ancient Language is not required. Modern Language, especially Spanish or French, is strongly advised. Shorthand and typewriting are neither required nor later counted toward a degree, but are strongly recommended. The graduate work is based upon the Bachelor's Degree from an accredited institution. Economics Its laws and principles with special reference to American conditions. The course presents a general sur- vey and is designed to serve as an introduction to later and more intensive study of the problems of industrial society. Economic and Commercial Geography A study of re- sources and industries as influenced by geographic conditions. The geography of the more important commercial products of the farm, range, forest, mine, factory, and sea; continental and oceanic trade routes; great commercial nations. American Government and Politics Analysis of the structure and workings of the government in the United States, local, state, and national; the organization and activities of state and federal administration, with the fundamental legal 62 Oglethorpe University and political principles governing it. This course alternates with Comparative Government. Accounting Principles An elementary course based on the use made of financial statements in business organization and control. The student is familiarized, through practice and discussion, with the entire accounting process, beginning with the voucher and ending with the report. The last part of the course is devoted to the consideration of the typical financial statements and their analysis from the standpoint of the various interests involved. The method of instruction is a combination of lectures and discussions, supplemented by lab- oratory practice. Business Communication A study of the communicating function in business and of the technique which is common to all forms of business communication; discussed in its psy- chological, rhetorical, graphic, and typographical aspects. The practice work is organized around Material, Attention, Interest, Understanding, Belief, Action and Good Will. It includes the assembling of the data from letters, editorials, and business articles. This course has a twofold purpose: (1) to give the infor- mation about the communicating activities of business and the skill in the presentation of business material which all busi- ness workers need, and (2) to provide the foundation neces- sary for an advanced study of correspondence and advertising problems. Business Psychology Business problems from the psy- chological point of view. (1) Psychological facts and prin- ciples applicable to the conduct of business operations: (2) possibilities and limitations of psychological method and ap- proach to business problems. Among the topics discussed are the hiring and instructing of employees, vocational adjust- ment, group efficiency, advertising and selling. Oglethorpe University 63 Financial Organization of Society A study of the nature and work of the various types of financial institutions in the modern business world, the forces that have led to their de- velopment, and their relation to the organization of industrial society. The principal forms of financial institutions covered are: coinage and monetary systems; credit; commercial banks; savings banks; bondhouses; trust companies; stock exchanges; the various forms of co-operative associations; also a brief study of the functions of the corporation and the insurance company as financial institutions. Each of these institutions plays its own part in the industrial system, and together, in their many interrelations, they make up the financial structure of society. Labor Conditions and Problems A general survey ana- lytical, causal and historical, of the main forces and factors which give rise to modern labor conditions and problems and which, therefore, must be taken into consideration in the at- tempted solution of specific labor problems, together with a brief discussion of social programs, organized labor, and labor legislation. This course is designed to serve as the foun- dation for the special courses in this field as well as to meet the needs of those who wish only a general study of labor problems. Its main divisions are the genesis, evolution, and character of present-day labor problems; the material progress and present condition of the wage-earning class, wages, hours of work, unemployment, property holdings, and distribution of income, among other things, being considered; points of. view and social programs; the philosophy, policies, and methods of organized labor, arbitration and social insurance. Risk and Risk Bearing in Modern Industrial Society A detailed study of the speculative character of modern in- dustry, with analysis of the various sources and kinds of risks and the various ways of meeting risk. Special study of insur- ance: (1) life; the kinds of companies, their organization and operation; the kinds of policies and the calculation of 64 Oglethorpe University premiums; insurance investments and dividends; (2) prop- erty insurance, companies and their methods of operation; the determination of rates; policy conditions; the work of inspection bureaus; underwriters' laboratories; (3) the prob- lems of buying and selling insurance; regulation of insurance by the state; state insurance. Marketing 1 Raw Materials A survey of the method and problems connected with the marketing of raw materials. A study is made of farm products, mineral products, forest products, and sea products, and the physical and geographical environment of the productive regions to discover their com- mercial problems. The course falls into three general divis- ions: (1) the commodity, (2) the markets, (3) the trade organization. Special study is made of the problems of the middlemen, transportation, warehousing, organized exchanges and produce markets, market news, financing the market and market price. These problems are analyzed in classroom dis- cussion as they appear in the marketing of four or five great staple commodities. Theory and practice are balanced by visits to warehouses, cold storages, produce markets, and other specialized markets. Each student is required to select a commodity and trace it through its entire marketing process. The information for these papers is secured through government bulletins, market reports, technical and scientific literature, and by interviews and observation. Special emphasis is placed upon first-hand information. Marketing 2 Manufactured Goods In the problems and methods of marketing manufactured products, the same gen- eral divisions are made: (1) the commodity, (2) the market, (3) the trade organization. The classroom discussion will consider the general problems confronting a merchant with goods to sell; organization of a business; duties and respon- sibilities of the sales manager, the advertising manager, and the advertising agency; application of scientific principles to Oglethorpe University 65 commercial analysis; location; analysis of a commodity; pur- chasing problem, stock plans; analysis of market; analysis of trade organization, department store, chain-store, mail-order house, co-operative store; price policy, price maintenance, credit; opportunities for extending the market; selection and organization of the sales force; selection of advertising me- diums; financing a sales and advertising organization; co- ordinating the selling forces. The aim is to define and out- line the general principles of commercial analysis, which in- cludes the work of both salesmen and advertising men. The literature that is available on these problems is assigned for reading. As in Course 1 above, the student is required to make first- hand investigation and written reports cf the problems, in local establishments. Marketing 3 Foreign Trade The marketing problems arising are: theories of foreign trade; character and volume of trade available for foreign commerce; contact with the for- eign market, commission house, forwarding agent, manufac- turers' agent, indent merchant, traveling salesmen, export de- partments; foreign correspondence; advertising in the foreign market; combining for foreign trade; prices in foreign trade; foreign exchange, credit, price quotations; transportation; marine insurance; tariffs; merchant marine; individual foreign markets. The point of view is that of an inland city like Atlanta. The problems are conditioned by this fact. Marketing 4 Problems of Marketing and Merchan- dising A wide range of problems of manufacture and dis- tribution. As in courses 1 and 2, each student will select a single commodity for detail study. The investigation will be de- veloped into a term paper dealing with the selected produc* in the various foreign markets, with the effects of the Euro- pean war, and with the future possibilities. An attempt will 66 Oglethorpe University be made to clear away the obscurities surrounding the sub- ject of foreign trade by following a commodity through to its destination, with samples of all the necessary documents. Economic Development of the United States The rise and evolution of the institutions, the structure and the organi- zation of industrial society which have been developed in the effort of the American people to supply their economic wants; an analysis of the way in which these institutions and this organization function, and their present day problems; how economic laws have dominated, together with the results con- sequent on a failure to regard these laws; the extent to which economic conditions have influenced our social and political history as well as its reaction upon our economic life.

Social Control of Business Social control has lagged behind rapidly developing modern industry. This course aims to give understanding of the various means of control now struggling to reassert themselves; their common underlying principles and their application in different fields. Its topics will include the kinds of useful work; the general presump- tion in favor of private enterprise; its shortcomings as an organizing force, and the weakening of individual's positions in a free-exchange economy resulting from (1) massing of technical capital, (2) growth of specialized knowledge before which common intelligence is at a disadvantage, (3) conflicts of interests which the law of property and contract cannot fully harmonize, and (4) other causes. Chief emphasis will be laid on the problems common to trusts, railroads, and public utilities, arising from fixed capital, untraced expenses, increas- ing returns, and the resulting tendencies to monopoly.

Commerce of South America Commerce relations be- tween the United States and South America. Most of the countries are discussed separately because of individual con- ditions, but the subject matter is organized under four gen- eral heads: (1) development of commerce, (2) present status of South American commerce, (3) factors affecting commerce with South America, (4) commercial prospects in South America. Industrial Administration I Designed primarily for those students expecting to enter the manufacturing field. It presupposes the courses Industrial Society, Business Admin- Oglethorpe University 69 istration, Statistic, Accounting, and some ability to undertake independent investigation. The course deals with the nature and characteristics of the complex problems of the industrial executive, and systematic methods of such problems, aiming thus to provide the student with a sense of relative values and some method for later intensive research on his own initiative. The work is made practical by independent investigation in factories of various types. Industrial Administration II A continuation of Indus- trial Administration I with similar objectives. The more im- portant "philosophies of administration" which help to solve the manufacturer's problems; a rapid survey of the history of industrial engineering; theories, principles, methods of ap- proach, devices, and their application to various types of in- dustry. This work is made practical through personal inter- views with men who have developed the more important phil- osophies of administration. Commercial Law (A three-term course) Ordinarily in non- commercial affairs the risks incident to ignorance of the law are not particularly formidable. A working knowledge of the rules of the Commercial Law is of practical value to every citizen, but to the successful business man of today it is indis- pensable. Successful completion of this course will make available to the student all substantive law courses offered in any law school. Among the subjects are: Contracts, negotiable instru- ment, agency, partnership, corporations, sales, bailments, car- riers, guaranty and suretyship, insurance, wills, etc. The case system of instruction is employed. Scientific Management and Labor Laying stress on the practical application and methods of the most complete and consistent recent tendencies. The principles of scientific man- agement and their wide applicability to various manufactur- ing activities. Each student is expected to make first-hand 70 Oglethorpe University investigation in one or more factories in Atlanta and vicinity, exemplifying as far as possible the type of production in which he is most interested, studying the problems of store- handling, routing, tool-room maintenance, cost keeping, worked material and tool standardization and classification, in making route charts, and in devising production systems. Industrial Combinations The conditions in modern in- dustrial society which have led to the growth of combina- tions, an analysis of the motives for their formation, the sources of their power and the elements of their weakness, the character and extent of any possible social advantages to be derived from them as well as the disadvantages and evils which have followed their growth, the attempts at state and federal regulation in the past, and the question of the desirable policy and feasible methods of control for the fu- ture. The subject is treated as a single problem of modern industrial society, with emphasis on methods of investiga- tion, analysis, and reasoning essential for the study of simi- lar problems. Corporation Finance A study of the corporation, pri- marily with reference to its financial management. The more important topics include financial side of organization and promotion, amount of capitalization, choice of different types of securities to be issued, method of selling securities and raising addition capital, financial policy with reference to dividend, surplus, accounting practice, etc., insolvency and reorganization and the problems and methods of social con- trol of the financial management of corporations.

Accounting Problems and Auditing The application of accounting principles to specific problems. Practical work in actual audits and devising systems for actual installation form a large part of the year's work. Bank Management A technical course in the internal problems of bank organization and management. The work is designed to train not so much for clerical work as for position of official responsibility. This course alternates with the Theory of Banking. Public Finance Public expenditure, budgetry methods, public revenues, and public debt. The purpose is to give a working knowledge of government financial institutions as distinguished from commercial ones; bonds, taxes, borrow- ing, and the management of national, state, and municipal debts. (Omitted in 1922-23.) Business Correspondence Training in the writing and dictating of business letters. Each student is assigned a sub- ject for independent investigation.

Each student is required to make a de- tailed survey of at least one mail campaign and to work out completely one original campaign. Advertising Technique II Display advertising, writing, and printing of same. The problems studied include market- ing of a new product, widening the demand for an estab- lished product, keeping a well-known product before the pub- lic, developing a year-round demand for a seasonal prod- uct, fighting substitutions, removing prejudices, announcing an increase in price, and mail-order selling; retailer's prob- 72 Oglethorpe University letns, including those in the department store and in the chain- store; specialized advertising, as that of banks, railroad, cities, churches, universities, libraries, and charities. In addi- tion to class discussions, practice work of each student is adapted, as far as possible, to his future needs.

Oglethorpe University 75 THE SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE Perhaps the most remarkable single development in the modern educational world is the possession by our colleges and universities of complete control of the greatest of all sports. American college football is the most interesting, most exciting, most manly, most instructive and most prof- itable game ever played by men. It, more than any other, furnishes to its devotees something of the moral equivalent of war, and such a hold has it taken on the public that they pour out their tens of thousands of dollars to witness inter- collegiate games in vast stadia and bowls erected largely for the purpose at a cost reaching into the millions. It is a momentous thing for the academic world to have control of the American equivalent of the Olympic games and the con- tests of the Arena, and as we watch the never ceasing en- largment of interest, finance, equipment and importance of this part of college work it must be perfectly apparent that the very life of a college depends and will more and more depend upon its method of handling this fact which is at once a challenge and an opportunity. And, hand in hand with football, go baseball, basket-ball, boating, track, and indeed the whole physical well-being of the vast American student-body. Passing by as somnolent those colleges that sidestep the fact by denying their students the privilege of intercollegiate sports and those that permissively decree a Students' Athletic Association which assumes control of coach, games, and often of "Faculty Directors of Athletics," we come to those insti- tutions that face the situation with wide open eyes. The attitude of Oglethorpe University to all athletics is based upon the recognition of the physical training of the human body as a college study. It is presumed that a matter of such overwhelming im- portance to college life as athletics and of such transcendent 76 Oglethorpe University interest to the public that it commands their time and purses at will, is a matter worth studying seriously and deserving to be ranked with Greek or Poultry Keeping. Therefore Oglethorpe University has founded her School of Physical culture. Its purpose is two-fold: to train, protect and develop the bodies of all the students of the University and to offer a special school where those who deserve it may receive special training, equipping them for positions as Physical Directors in Y. M. C. A.'s, in the Army, and in other schools, colleges and universities. As a school for the special preparation of students for positions as physical directors and coaches in Y. M. C. A.'s, the Army and other schools and universities, a regular cur- riculum has been arranged offering instruction in the follow- ing subjects, the completion of which will lead to an appro- priate certificate or degree: 1. Physiology A first-year course in the study of the human body, one hour per week Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer Terms. Required of all Freshmen. Prerequisite for all courses enumerated below. Includes studies in Sanitation, Hygiene and First Aid. Professor Hunt 2. Mass Athletics A study of methods used in the A. E. F., Play Athletics, Study of muscles, their development and health.

Arts and Science Group Comprising such electives from courses offered in the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Literature, and Commerce as may be elected to complete re- quirements of S. I. A. A., for eligibility in intercollegiate games. An appropriate letter will be given all students making the University team in any of the above classes, 3-10, inclusive. Any student successfully completing all courses, 1-13 inclu- sive, will be accorded a certificate or diploma in proportion to the quantity and quality of his work. Every human being should be taught to play with his fel- low-beings. Every student should have daily exercise. These two simple but fundamental axioms are the basis for all work in this department. The munificent gift of fifty thousand dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Hermance to Oglethorpe University for an athletic field has made possible the immediate inauguration of this plan, which is founded upon the study from a college standpoint of psychology, hygiene, sanitation, first aid work, etc. It further emphasizes the necessity of careful medical supervision of all athletics and the adaption to each individ- ual student of special forms of exercise. One of its most important features is the requiring of every student to take some form of physical exercise daily under proper medical or tutorial guidance. In this way those who need it most would be most advantaged, and the chief failure of the athletic program of our average American college would be obviated, for it is a notorious fact that most of our institutions develop a small number of trained athletes in football, baseball, basket-ball, etc., while the great mass of students do little more than sit on the bleachers and yell. And the building of the new athletic field given by Mr. and Mrs. Hermance makes possible the inauguration at Ogle- thorpe of a complete system of physical culture for all stu- Oglethorpe University 79 dents. It will include not only the great athletic features such as football, baseball, basket-ball, etc., but also many interesting track exercises, discus and javelin throwing, jump- ing, vaulting and, in fact, all of the various numbers to be found at our intercollegiate track meets. It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University as quickly as circumstances may permit, to enter a team in every number on the program of such meets, and, in addition, to develop a strong boating crew on Silver Lake. The University has been especially fortunate in enjoying the services of Mr. Frank B. Anderson, one of the best known coaches in the South, who has had charge of Athletics at Oglethorpe University and who has been advanced to the directorship of the department of physical culture. Mr. An- derson has merited and won not only a great reputation as a coach, but as a clean, fine friend of young men, and there is no man in the whole of America more loved by his boys. We are especially fortunate also in being able to announce that Mr. J. E. Robertson, famous all-American football star, will coach our football team and teach Course No. 4. The University, of course, is proud of his record and happy in the knowledge that our boys will have as their coach a man who is an expert in that department with hardly an equal in this country, and those of us who have charge of the moral and mental life of the University, feel especially happy in having at the head of this fascinating department of our work, a splendid outstanding man whose personal influence with the students will mean so much in the building of character and the enforcing of every moral and religious precept. It is not going too far to say that the teams at Oglethorpe will be as well coached next year and thereafter as any teams on the American continent, for there are no two finer men at the head of athletics whether it be as coaches or as men, than the two who head this department at Oglethorpe. 80 Oglethorpe University To these should be added Mr. Howard H. Beckett, profes- sional golf player and instructor of the Capital City Club, who will have charge of course No. 7. Mr. Beckett has a national reputation as teacher and golfer and his addition to the faculty of the University is a matter of just pride and congratulation. Other instructors will be added as this work may require. SUMMER SCHOOL Having in mind the frequent inadequacy of preparation for college on the part of many students, the University operates during the summer a summer school wherein are offered stand- ard sub-freshmen courses such as Mathematics, English, Latin, Greek, etc. These courses are open to students of accredited high schools, not only, but also to other students who, after they have finished them satisfactorily, may stand examination on the subjects taken and other subjects necessary for college entrance and may thus enter college during the following fall. In addition to the above, should there be a sufficient number of applicants, some regular college courses may be specially arranged for upon application to the President. Among other courses thus offered for the coming year are those in bookkeeping and accounting in the School of Com- merce under Professor Ira V. Maxwell. The boarding department of the University will not be open during the summer, but board and lodging can be easily ob- tained in the city of Atlanta or in the neighborhood of the University at moderate prices. UNIVERSITY EXPENSES Board and Room Rent The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are the safest and most comfortable of cognate institutions in the South. All the buildings of the University will be like the Oglethorpe University 81 first two that are now finished, which are believed to be ab- solutely fireproof, being constructed of steel, concrete and granite with partitions of brick and hollow tile. The Boarding Department of the Institution is conducted to please the student. Thoroughly first-class service will be given. The skimmed milk diet which produces skimmed milk thinking will be studiously avoided. Price of board is in- cluded in the room rent. The prices named below are based upon three grades of rooms. The first of these comprises the temporary dormi- tory; the second the entire third floor of the present main building, which is fifty (50) feet wide and one hundred and eighty (180) feet long; it is divided into individual rooms. with general toilet and bath room on the same floor. Each contains a lavatory furnishing hot and cold water. The third grade is on the second floor of the main building and is com- posed of suites of rooms, each suite containing a bedroom, bath and study. The price charged includes first-class board, steam heat, electric lights, water and janitor's service, and all rooms are furnished adequately and substantially. Every room in the dormitory contains ample closet space. The rooms are large, airy, safe and comfortable and are roomy enough for the use of from one to four young men. The furniture is of oak and is the same for all rooms, in- cluding chiffonier, study-table, single bed, spring and mattress for each student. Room linen and bed clothing will be furnished by the stu- dent. Applications for rooms should be filed at once. For reservation of room inclose $5.00 reservation fee, to be credited on first payment. COLLEGE EXPENSES The expenses at Oglethorpe University are made as low as the quality of instruction, of rooming accommodations and of table fare will permit. No fees such as. matriculation, library, 82 Oglethorpe University hospital, contingent, athletic, etc., are charged. To Day Stu- dents the only charge made is that of tuition which is $60.00 per term, as covered by the college calendar. For students boarding in the dormitories of the University the following charges are made: New Government Building $145.00 per term Administration Building, second floor (see diagram on page ), $177.50. Third floor (see diagram on page ), $157.50. All University charges are payable quarterly in advance ex- cept by special arrangement. For absences no rebate is made on board for less than one week, on room rent for less than one month, and on tuition for less than one term. No rebate is made on absences caused by temporary suspension by action of the faculty. It will be observed that the total cost for the entire year, including tuition, table board and room rent, heat, light and janitor service ranges from $145.00 per term up- ward according to the rooming accommodations. The stu- dent should bring his own bedding and personal linen. Books may be purchased from the Student Co-op or in the city of Atlanta and will cost approximately $10.00 per term. Upon assuming possession of his room each student is given a statement showing the general condition of the room and of the articles of furniture contained therein. He is required at the end of each term or at the end of the college year upon the request of the Superintendent, to restore the property to the condition in which he received it by paying the actual cost of replacements and repairs as made or estimated as necessary to be made by the college officials. When the room is occu- pied by more than one student the cost of repairs is divided in proportion to responsibility. Oglethorpe University 83 SELF HELP Approximately fifteen per cent of the Oglethorpe student body are "working their way through college" in whole or in part. It is the intention of the authorities of the University to see that a way is provided as far as possible for the assist- ance of any student who may be in pecuniary need and yet desirous of prosecuting his studies at Oglethorpe. A special Faculty Committee will co-operate with students to that end. As a general rule it is best for the student that he should be able to devote all of his time to his academic duties, but where circumstances require it, many students may undertake various tasks, payment for which materially aids them in meeting their expenses. For further information address the President, Oglethorpe University, Georgia. SPECIAL LOAN FUND By the generosity of a good friend who does not wish his name mentioned, the University is able to lend a limited sum to deserving students who would otherwise be unable to prose- cute their studies at Oglethorpe. Further details upon appli- cation. ATHLETICS HERMANCE FIELD The munificent generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Harry P. Her- mance in giving to Oglethorpe the sum of $50,000.00 for an Athletic Stadium, the finest in the South, makes feasible the development of all forms of field sports, including not only the great games of football and baseball, but also vaulting, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, track work, etc. Physi- cal culture for all students will be required. A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the University toward inter-collegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe University is acquitting herself well in that sphere of her educational life. M Oglethorpe University SILVER LAKE In addition to those sports common to all well equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering eighty acres located conveniently to the University campus, with a part of its shore set aside for a university boat house. This will enable the institution to add a crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake is admirably suited for boating, rowing, swimming and fishing. The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the care of the physical life of our students as a matter of large import- ance. (Physical and hygienic welfare and instruction will be a part of the curriculum of the institution.) Regular instruc- tion, looking to symmetrical development of the entire man will be given in the Athletic Department of the University, under competent medical guidance. Special attention is at present given to outdoor athletics. Adequate provision is being made for football and baseball grounds, tennis courts, etc. Work has been begun on the Hermance Stadium. UNIVERSITY STORE One of the interesting features of university life at Ogle- thorpe is the University Store, managed for the benefit of the students themselves, under the superintendence of the Faculty. In the store are kept all the necessary college accessories. Any ordinary purchase may thus be made most conveniently, as full lines of goods answering the various college require- ments are constantly kept on hand. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE The ability of a college or university to develop worthy character in its students depends largely upon that indefin- able quality called "college atmosphere." As a mother, she breathes her own soul into her boys. They inherit all she Oglethorpe University 85 has been through, all of labor and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments have been bought out with money they inherit that; if with blood they inherit that. Every storm through which she has passed strengthens them for their own conflicts in the days that are to come. Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and prayer. God alone built her, touching the hearts of multitudes of His children at the voice of her call. Alone of all the promi- nent ante-bellum universities she died for her ideals and alone of all the universities of America, God has raised her from the dead. By her every battle, her every faith, her every triumph, she has learned what things are really worth while and what hand really to lean upon. She will tell her children of Him. SPECIAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES Daily chapel exercises, which the students are required to attend, are conducted by each of the members of the faculty in turn. The student life at Oglethorpe is also blessed by the activities of the Y. M. C. A., and frequent sermons and addresses by visiting pastors and evangelists. LIBRARIES By the generosity of many friends, so great as to be almost unparalleled, the University received during the first year of its life approximately ten thousand volumes for the library. These consist of standard works in Literature, History and Science, with many valuable reference works in special de- partments. The Private Libraries of Dr. Sellers in Science, and of Dr. Nicolassen in the Classics, are both available for the use of the students in these departments. The policy of the institution is to let no year go without the enlargement of the library. A competent librarian is in charge and the rooms will be open during the year of 1923-24 approximately ten hours per day. The Public Library of Atlanta is also available for the use of our students. 86 Oglethorpe University KING LIBRARY OF ENGLISH By the splendid generosity of Dr. Cheston King the Uni- versity has been given a Library of English incomparably the finest south of Washington. The volumes for this library, in- cluding some seventeen thousand books and pamphlets, have been received, and are now available for graduate work. OGLETHORPE COAT-OF-ARMS Among the unique honors offered at the University is the presentation of a sweater with the Coat-of-Arms blazoned thereon, which will be awarded in the future under the terms of the following resolution unanimously adopted by the Fac- ulty of the University, upon recommendation of the President: "Resolved, that on and after September 1st, 1922, the Coat-of-Arms of Oglethorpe University shall be given to those students carrying a minimum of fifteen hours weekly, of ex- cellent personal character and conduct, whose general average of all the courses taken during five preceding consecutive terms shall have been not less than 93, or who, in lieu of said general average, shall have so distinguished themselves in some intellectual, creative, or constructive accomplishment as to entitle them thereto in the judgment of the Faculty." Previous awards of this honor have been made to the fol- lowing: 1920 W. R. Carlisle E. C. James, Jr. W. C. Johnson J. R. Murphy J. R. Terrell, Jr. L. N. Turk, Jr. 1921 M. F. Calmes E. E. Moore P. H. Cahoon T. L. Staton L. W. Hope L. Mc. McClung 1922 M. M. Copeland A. M. Sellers D. B. Johnson J. H. Price Martha Shover Oglethorpe University 87 1923 J. 0. Hightower, III J. B. Kersey Gladys Crisler Al. G. Smith L. G. Pfefferkorn THE OGLETHORPE IDEA Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe idea quality in location, in climate, in campus, in architecture, in student character, in college life, in athletics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum, and in religion and morals. Every one of these we offer at Oglethorpe. Located in the commercial and educational capital of the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most elegant street of that city, on a most beautiful campus of over one hundred and thirty acres of woodland and meadow, including an eighty- two acres lake which belongs to our students for swimming, boating and fishing, the physical advantages offered by Ogle- thorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the section. One by one a splendid body of buildings is being erected on its campus. Every one of them will be of granite trimmed with limestone and covered with variegated slates. All of them will be as fire-proof as human skill can make them and as commodious and comfortable as our architects can plan them. They will be like the first buildings already erected, which are believed to be the safest, most beautiful and most efficient college or university buildings in the Southeast. THE OGLETHORPE SITE ATLANTA The attractions of the city of Atlanta as an educational center are fast making it one of the great intellectual dyna- mos of the nation. Gifted with a soft, Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to the entire nation over its many lines of railway, known everywhere as the center of Southern activities, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great minds of the nation and the world. Hither come lecturers, musicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors, teachers 88 Oglethorpe University and officials of the United States. An intellectual atmosphere created by such conditions and the frequent opportunity of contact with these leaders in all branches of human activity, offered frequently to our students, give Oglethorpe University an advantage of position and of opportunity which she will cultivate to the uttermost. Facilities for hearing and meeting the great musicians and authors and public speakers and the leaders in all spheres of intellectual activity will be offered our students. The tremendous influence of such contact upon the young lives committed to us will be felt in increased ambition and redoubled determination to perform, themselves, their duty to their race and their God. THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic tastes and home habits of many young men are ruined at college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings of their rooms and the ugly forbidding architecture of the building, whose walls often deface their campus. The architecture of an institu- tion of learning should be a constant source of delight and inspiration to its students, teaching quietly but surely the highest ideals of life. Indeed all those qualities of soul we know as honesty, solidity, dignity, durability, reverence and beauty may be expressed in the face of a building as surely as in that of a man, and are so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus. Not less important are the personal surroundings of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped apartments have exactly the same influence on the soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped human companions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are entitled to the information and in- spiration such surroundings offer, and the sons of the rich will deteriorate without them. '-r.

This is the special work of the silent faculty at Oglethorpe. THE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR FIRST YEARS Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal contact and instruction of the heads of departments will note with interest that our first few years will offer exceptional op- portunities of that nature. It is well known that in all our large institutions only the upper classmen come in any close contact with the full Professors, who as heads of depart- ments occupy their time in other matters than educating Freshmen. We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we have, and they will be taught by men who have taught in or had of- fered them, chairs in the greatest universities of America. This will be a permanent policy at Oglethorpe. PHYSICAL TRAINING All students of all classes are required to take two hours a week of Physical Training. This is intended to keep the body in good condition, and is especially designed for the benefit of those students who do not take part in football, baseball, etc., but who need some stimulus to pay attention .to their physical well being. INFIRMARY The University maintains at all times an excellent infirm- ary, with a nurse in attendance, for the prompt treatment of accidents and of such cases of sickness as may occur. By this means prolonged and serious illness can often be pre- vented. During the recent influenza epidemic vigorous meas- 92 Oglethorpe University ures were taken at once, with the result that, while there were a relatively small number of cases there were no fatalities. There is a University physician who can be secured on short notice when his services are needed. The University makes no charge to the students for infirm- ary service which includes also the attendance of the college physician in the infirmary. In case of special illness requir- ing operations or the services of specialists, while the Univer- sity frequently is able to secure reduced charges for our stu- dents, yet we assume no responsibility beyond such service as our college physician and college infirmary are able to render. EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS Examinations will be held once each term, and reports of the students' standing will be issued four times per year. PUBLIC UTILITIES Oglethorpe University has the double advantage of being located in the suburbs of Atlanta, so far out as not to be subject to the distractions of city life, yet so near in as to enjoy all the public utilities of a great city. Among these are city water, electric lights, city trolley line, telephone and telegraph service, and in addition thereto the University has its own postoffice, express office and railway station, all known as Oglethorpe University, Georgia. DIRECTIONS TO NEW STUDENTS Students coming to Oglethorpe University from a distance should remember that Oglethorpe University has its own sta- tion on the main line of the Southern Railway between Atlanta and Washington. Tickets may be purchased and baggage checked to Oglethorpe University, Georgia, the station being immediately in front of the campus. Students coming to Atlanta over other lines may either re-check their baggage to the University station, or may have it delivered at a special OCLETKORPE UNIVERSITY 93 rate by the Atlanta Baggage & Cab Company. In using the latter method mention should always be made of the special students' rate at the time the order is given. WOMEN'S BOARD One of the most remarkable gatherings, even in this city of remarkable gatherings, was the assembling of approximately two hundred of the representative women of the city of At- lanta at the home of Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, Saturday after- noon, November 25, 1916, to organize a Woman's Board for Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the Board is to aid the University in every wise and efficient way, with counsel of and guidance by the proper authorities of the Institution. Already more than two hundred of the finest workers and most representative women of the city have offered their services and joined the organi- zation. Their activities are directed toward the support and development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned to the committee on which she feels best able to serve. These committees cover the various departments of the University, and among them are: Ways and Means, Finance, Grounds, Press, Entertain- ment, Hospital, Music, Library, Arts, Refreshments, Trans- portation, and such other committees as it may seem wise to the Board from time to time to appoint. The authorities of the University welcome the formation of this organization with the greatest joy. The mere fact that they have promised a devoted allegiance to the enter- prise has its own genuine value, but those who know the women of Atlanta, with their marvelous capacity for earn- est and consecrated work directed by a swift and accurate intelligence, will realize what must be the results of the efficient aid which they are giving to the Institution. Officers and Chairmen of the various committees have been unanimously chosen as follows: 94 Oglethorpe University Mrs. Katherine H. Connerat, President; Mrs. Albert Thorn- ton, St., First Vice-President; Mrs. E. P. McBurney, Second Vice-President; Mrs. George Winship, Jr., Third Vice-Presi- dent; Mrs. Newton Craig, Fourth Vice-President; Mrs. George Brine, Fifth Vice-President; Mrs. I. R. Carlisle, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Gordon Burnett, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. E. D. Crane, Treasurer; Mrs. J. K. Ottley, Chairman, Executive Committee; Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, Vice-Chairman; Mrs. Albert Thornton, Jr., Chairman, Program Committee; Mrs. J. M. High, Chairman, Entertainment Committee; Mrs. Omar Elder, Chairman Membership Committee; Mrs. J. Ches- ton King, Chairman, Players' Committee; Mrs. DeLos Hill, Chairman, Music Committee; Mrs. E. Rivers, Chairman, Grounds Committee; Isaac Schoen, Chairman, Athletics Com- mittee; Mrs. George Boynton and Mrs. Chas. Boynton, Chair- man Girls' Committee; Mrs. W. M. Camp, Charge of Y. W. C. A. work; Mrs. Jas. T. Williams, Chairman, Hospital Com- mittee; Mrs. L. E. Chalenor, Chairman, Library; Mrs. H. G. Carnes, Chairman, Publicity and Program Advertising; Mrs. C. G. Ayer, Chairman, Commencement Sunday; Mrs. Thos. Brumby, Chairman, Marietta Circle; Mrs. C. A. Reynolds, Chairman, Norcross. Advisory Board, Mrs. George Lewis Pratt, Mrs. A. P. Tread- well, Mrs. Marvin Underwood, Mrs. William Oldknow, Mrs. W. A. Speer, Mrs. H. M. Nicholes, Mrs. Victor Kriegshaber. Honorary Presidents: Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, Mrs. James R. Gray, Sr., Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, Mrs. Sam M. Inman, Mrs. Harry P. Hermance. Through the liberality of a friend, whose name is with- held by request, a fine driveway has been constructed from the University to Peachtree Road; it is called "The Maud Jacobs Driveway," in honor of the first President of the Women's Board.
