This was before women's colleges were permanently established, but LaGrange College swept aside prejudice and stands today capable of answering demands of the ever changing needs of modern education. An atmosphere of the past, blended with the present, stands guard about the venerable buildings that enclose the magnolia- shaded quadrangle. The college entrance is marked by lamp posts from Bellevue, home of Benjamin Harvey Hill, who was a trustee of the college. Oreon Smith Hall, the oldest building in the group, represents the rich heritage of the college. Its four ivy-clad columns are known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This building contains administrative offices, parlors, the dining hall, and the residences for freshmen. Therein is the prayer hall, where evening vespers are held daily by the student group. Across the quadrangle is Dobbs Auditorium, named in honor of Samuel C. Dobbs, benefactor and chairman of the board of trustees. On the quadrangle front is Hawkes building, containing library, gymnasium, town girls' lounge, and dormitory space. The architecture of these historic build- ings is repeated in new Residence Hall. Retaining the features of southern architecture, it offers the newest and most modern con- veniences for the student's comfort. The campaign for this building started when Hitler started through Holland and the contract was let the day Paris fell. The Old South is happily blended with the new era on the college campus. It stands as a memorial to the abiding faith in the surviving value of Chris- tian culture. Christian education for Christian living is stressed in all poli- cies and activities of the college program. In preparing a report on objectives of the college, a faculty and student committee stated the following aims: the development of an appreciation of Christian culture; the development of social and mental poise for citizenship; and the faithful performance by the individual of present duty in preparation for service in home, community, church, and state. 10 LaGrange College Recent bequests through the generosity of Dr. S. C. Dobbs and the W. I. H. Pitts Foundation, Cason J. Callaway, Fuller E. Callaway, and other interested friends have added much to the stability of the finances of the college. Further recent bequests from the estate of Ben Redwine, Newnan, Georgia, will add materially to the resources of the college. Continued finan- cial cooperation will facilitate the development of its program of Christian education and insure its continuing financial sta- bility. LaGrange College has been admitted to full membership in the American Association of Colleges. It has been given full accreditation by the University Senate of the Methodist Church. It is on the approved list of the Southern Association of Second- ary Schools and Colleges. THE L. C. GIRLS' CREED Lifie is mine to live. That I may cherish it And right loyally meet its responsibilities, I would lay aside that which is Narrow, selfish, ignoble and unkind; The false, superficial, the dishonest I would shun in thought, word and deed. Rather may I cultivate in my college life Those traits and ideals that will fit me To weave dreams into realities, and impres- sions into character; To meet bravely the hard tasks of life; To bring joy to those who sorrow, And strength to those who falter in their tasks. I would strive to judge more kindly, Trust more fully, and love more deeply. That my life may reflect His goodness, And my soul may grow in the knowledge Of Him, whom to know is Life Eternal. LaGrange College 11 STUDENT ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS The Student Government Association, based on pow- ers and laws granted by the administration, controls all matters pertaining to conduct and the social life of the student body. The life and work of the college is based on the honor system. The Young Women's Christian Association is a reli- gious organization in which all students hold membership. A council, assisted by a faculty advisory committee, plans and promotes the religious activities of the college program. A daily vesper service is held by the students fvDr prayer, meditation, and religious instruction. Each Sunday afternoon the Y. W. C. A. sponsors a program of music or religious drama for the benefit of the college and the community. The Athletic Association, composed of the entire stu- dent body under the supervision of the physical education di- rector, controls the program of college sports. It formulates rules for eligibility to athletic teams and conduct of interclass sports. Maintenance of athletic equipment and promotion of wholesome sportsmanship are responsibilities of this organiza- tion. The Glee Club presents annual concerts at Christmas and in the spring. Numerous appearances for the entire Glee Club, for the Chapel Choir, the sextette, the trio and the Junior Glee Club are scheduled during the year in the city and through- out the state. The Curtain Raisers, dramatic organization, sponsors all productions of the speech department. Its membership is com- posed of students in the speech department and other students qualifying for membership. The LaGrange College Radio Theatre broadcasts weekly over station WLAG, LaGrange. Alpha Psi Omega is a national dramatic fraternity. Mem- bers of the Curtain Raisers who have reached the requirements set up by the national organization are invited to join. The Art Club, composed of students in the art depart- ment, is for the purpose of developing art appreciation. Each 12 LaGrange College year it sponsors several art exhibits of national and state im- portance. The International Relations Club is made up of those students making history their major or minor subject. It has for its main purpose the study of international relation- ships. The program includes formal lectures, debates and round table discussions. The Horatian Club was organized for the purpose of increasing interest in science by means of field trips, discussions, and demonstrations. Membership is limited to students major- ing in science and to other students showing exceptional ability in scientific courses. Honor Clubs. The honor club system was established in 1924. Eligibility is conditioned upon the literary hours taken and the academic standing of the student. Members are elected each year upon recommendation of the faculty. The Fine Arts Honor Club and the Secretarial Science Honor Club were established in 1939 to give recognition to students of' outstanding ability in music, art, speech, and secretarial sci- ence. Election to these clubs is the highest distinction that can be conferred on a student. Such awards are made on Honors Day, at which time a distinguished speaker is the guest of the college. The names of those who qualified for membership in the Honor Clubs at the end of the academic year 1941-1942 are listed: Honor Club: Virginia Etheridge, Kate Foster, Lorene Free- man, Elizabeth Harrison, Barbara Jackson, Audrey Justice, Amy Frances Lindsey, Nell Mathews. Secretarial Science Honor Club: Dorothy Price. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS The Quadrangle is the college year book issued annually by an elected staff. The Scroll is the literary magazine issued to encourage creative writing. Students who do outstanding work on this publication are entitled to membership in the QuiLL DRIVERS Club. LaGrange College 13 The Scroll of Fame is composed of students who are outstanding in their contributions to the college magazine. Each year the group honored is selected by a faculty committee chosen by the SCROLL staff. Those selected in 1942 were Pat Barbour, Virginia Garrett, and Barbara Jackson. The Student Handbook is issued by the Student Govern- ment Association. This is a manual of student life and con- tains regulations governing such.

ALUMNAE AND MATRICULATES ASSOCIATION The LaGrange College Alumnae Association was organized to keep the alumnae informed of the needs and welfare of the college and to seek opportunity to express this interest by voluntary services to the college. A reunion is held each year during commencement and all graduates are invited to return to the college. At the meeting in 1921, all matriculates were made eligible to membership in the association. The dues are one dollar per year. There is an alumnae office at the college under the direc- tion of Miss Maidee Smith. The files and records of graduates are kept in this office. It is earnestly desired that alumnae chap- ters be formed in localities where a sufficient number of grad- uates live; therefore it is necessary that all changes of address be sent to the alumnae office at the college. 16 LaGrange College ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Students may be admitted by certilficate or by examination. Graduates of the accredited high schools are admitted with- out examination, provided entrance requirements are satisfied. Students from other than accredited schools are examined at entrance. All students entering the college must present fifteen entrance units, whether or not they expect to take the full amount of work leading to a degree. CERTIFICATES OF ENTRANCE Every student who enters for music, art, literary work, or other course is expected to present a certificate from the last school attended, covering her work. This rule may be abated for students in speech, music, or art only, who do not enter the college dormitory and are not seeking any certificate. Students should secure from the college the blank certificates to be filled out and signed by the principal of the school they are attending. These should be sent in before the summer vaca- tion. Candidates will find it much easier to attend to this before their schools close for the summer. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION For Entrance into Freshman Class. The applicant must offer sub- jects amounting to fifteen units. The units assigned to the subject indicate the number of years, with five recitations (of not less than forty minutes in length) per week that is, the total amount of time devoted to the subject throughout the year should be at least 120 "sixty-minute" hours. Of the fifteen units which the applicant must offer, eight are pre- scribed. The remaining seven are to be selected from the list of elec- tive units given below.

Such students are not required to satisfy the formal requirements for entrance into the freshman class, unless they are candidates for the diploma in Art, Music, or Speech. REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREE The college offers one degree, that of Bachelor of Arts. The requirements of the degree call for a four years' course. The unit of work is the semester hour. This means one reci- tation period a week for eighteen weeks. A course calling for three recitations a week for thirty-six weeks has a value of six hours; a course calling for three recitations a week for one semester has a value of three hours. The minimum work required for graduation is one hundred twenty-four hours, four of which must be in physical education. The minimum semester for freshmen and seniors is fourteen hours, exclusive of physical education. The minimum for sophomores and juniors is fifteen hours.

HEALTH Upon entrance, students are required to stand a medical examination by the college physician. A close supervision is exercised over the health of boarding pupils. All cases of sickness are required to be reported to the infirmarian; in case of serious illness, a physician is called. The perfect sanitary arrangement, good water, and elevation and freedom from malaria have prevented sickness to a degree unsurpassed by any similar institution in the state. The physi- 44 LaGrange College cal education director is responsible for supervising corrective exercises and promotes a program of health among the stu- dents. FURNITURE The college supplies the students' rooms with heavy furni- ture. Each student is expected to fxirnish her own towels, pil- low, sheets, blankets, spreads for single beds, and any other articles desired for use in her room.

No permissions enclosed in letters to students will be accepted.

A young woman is sent away to college to be edu- cated, not only in books, but for life, and she should be taught to give systematically to the church, Sunday school, and other organizations, in order that she may return to her community with convictions as to her individual duty. LaGrange College 47 We suggest to parents the advisability of requiring their daughters to keep an itemized account of personal expenditures. Young women should be taught the golden mean between ex- travagance and too rigid economy. NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College. Students are not allowed to register until satisfactory financial arrangements are made. No deductions will be made for pupils who enter within one month after the semester opens. No student will be received for less than a semester, except by special arrangement. No discount will be allowed for absence from any cause except sickness, and that only when the absence is for as long a period as ONE MONTH. In the event of withdrawal on account of sickness, the amount paid for board in advance of date of leaving will be refunded, but not the amount paid for tuition. No deduction will be made for the holidays. Students not returning after Christmas will be charged to the end of the semester. Written permission must be sent by the parents or guardian, directly through the mails, addressed to the Registrar, and not to the student, before any subject may be dropped. All dues must be settled in cash before students can receive diplomas or transcript of credits. Students are entitled to the first transcript of their records free of charge. For other transcripts a fee of one dollar will be charged. A deposit of fifteen dollars must be made in the Bookshop at the opening of the term, for the purchase of books. No accounts are open on our books for charges in the Bookshop; books, stationery, and art materials are sold for CASH only. The college will be closed for the Christmas holidays. DISCOUNTS When two or more boarding students are entered from the same family, a discount for board and literary tuition will be 48 LaGrange College allowed, provided payment is made in advance, and provided both sisters remain the whole semester. A discount of $125.00 will be made to ministers regularly- engaged in their calling who enter their daughters as boarding students. All "Specials" are charged at the regular rates. To ministers regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters as day students is given a discount of $62.50. Courses under the head of "Specials" are charged for at the regular rates. SCHOLARSHIPS The Board of Trustees authorizes the President to offer Scholarships to the value of one hundred dollars in the Boarding Department for one year to the honor graduates of accredited high schools. LOAN FUNDS Students may be able to borrow from certain special funds of the college enough money to defray a large part of their expenses. This money loaned to a student begins to bear inter- est at six per cent at the end of the year in which it was used. Mr. William S. Witham, of the Board of Trustees, donated to the college the sum of $10,000.00 (which has increased to over $28,000.00) , to be lent to dependent girls. Mrs. J. C. Davidson, of West Point, Ga., as a memorial to her husband, gave $ 1 ,000.00 to be used as a loan fund. Circulars of information concerning these funds can be secured from the president. The decision as to who will be accepted is vested entirely in a committee of the Board of Trustees, to whom all applications will be referred. STUDENT-AID Student-aid positions are available to students whose academic standing indicates their ability to carry the extra load of work.
