In this one hundred and nineteenth year of service LaGrange
College presents the annual catalog, 1949-1950. LaGrange College
is a four year liberal arts college. Its objective is Christian educa-

LaGrange College

LAGRANGE COLLEGE

LaGrange College, next to the University of Georgia, has the
longest continuous history of any institution of higher learning
in the state of Georgia. The University was chartered for men in
1784 the oldest state university in America. LaGrange was char-
tered as a Female Institute in 1831. It became a four year college
in 1851. Although its presidents and most of its trustees have been
Methodist from the beginning, it did not become a Methodist
Church institution until 1857.

While the Smith Building dates back to pre-Civil War times,
the college buildings are modern in condition and equipment.
Dobbs Hall, named for Samuel C. Dobbs, houses the auditorium
and the home economics, music, science, speech, and art depart-
ments. Hawkes Hall provides for physical education, class rooms,
and sophomore dormitories. Pitts Hall is the modern home of the
juniors and seniors, and is named for Mr. and Mrs. W. I. H. Pitts.
The Smith Building houses the freshmen, the administration of-
fices, the dining hall and kitchen, and the Prayer Hall.

The newest addition to the campus is the William N. Banks
Library, the home of the college's 14,458 volumes.

The furnishings and equipment for the science departments
and the home economics department are completely new.

LaGrange College is a fully accredited institution with mem-
bership in (1) The Georgia Association of Colleges, (2) The As-
sociation of American Colleges, (3) The Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, (4) The American Council on
Education, and is accredited by the University Senate of the Meth-
odist Church and the Department of Education of the State of
Georgia.

The college is financially sound, with an endowment of three
quarters of a million dollars. This fact enables the institution to

8 LaGrange College

keep its fees approximately $200 a year under those charged by
most of the other church-related colleges of equal rating in the
state of Georgia.

An able faculty maintains the highest academic standards. Mem-
bers of the faculty and staff are selected not only for their knowl-
edge of their respective fields, but for their interest in spiritual
values. For that reason, the college is in tune with the loftiest
spiritual aims of the Church. A study of the curriculum, program,
activities, and organizations will reveal this fact.

Whereas LaGrange College was organized for the education of
young women, men are now being admitted as day students. Num-
bers of them are commuting from nearby Georgia and Alabama
communities.

LaGrange College students going to graduate schools for ad-
vanced work find themselves well prepared for graduate and pro-
fessional study.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

ORGANIZATIONS
The Student Government Association, based on powers
and laws granted by the administration, controls all matters per-
taining 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 religious
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 for prayer, meditation, and religious in-
struction.

_ AMg The Athletic Association, composed of

t ) o c<\ o (g|| the entire student body under the super-

^ /^^\ )f^ vision of the physical education director,

controls the program of college sports. It
formulates rules for eligibility to athletic
teams and conduct of interclass sports.
Maintenance of athletic equipment and pro-
motion of wholesome sportsmanship are re-
sponsibilities of the organization.

The Curtain Raisers, dramatic organization, sponsors all pro-
ductions of the speech department. Its membership is composed 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. Members
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 department, is
for the purpose of developing art appreciation. Each year it spon-
sors several art exhibits of national and state importance.

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 relationships. The
program includes formal lectures, debates and round table dis-
cussions.

The Kiwana- q Club was organized to further the interests
in all fields of home economics, as well as to promote friend-
ship and leadership among all home economics students.

10 LaGrange College

The Horatian Club was organized for the purpose of in-
creasing interest in science by means of field trips, discussions,
and demonstrations. Membership is limited to students majoring
in science and to other students showing exceptional ability in
scientific courses.

The Christadelphian Club was organized to promote whole-
some Christian living and fruitful activities on the campus and
throughout the LaGrange community. Membership is limited to
students majoring in religion.

Honors Clubs. The honors 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 recommendations of the faculty.

The Fine Arts Honors Club and the Secretarial Science Honors
Club were established to give recognition to students of outstanding
ability in music, art, speech, and secretarial science.

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 Honors
Clubs during the academic year 1947-1948 are listed:

Honors Club. Virginia Carlock, Jacqueline de La Rue, Jane
Miller Ross, Martha Young.

The Harmonettes and Chapel Choir
present annual concerts at Christmas and in
the spring. Numerous appearance of the
musical organiaztions are scheduled during
the year in the city and throughout the state.

Social Clubs. Social clubs are based on the campus sorority
system. The four sororities include all students on the campus.
The inter-sorority council creates and promotes cooperation among
these social groups. Informal parties are held frequently on the
campus and formal banquets are given in honor of members
twice during the school year. Other social clubs include the Town
Girls' Club, Preachers' Kids, OF Club, and the Newnan Club.

COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS
The Quadrangle is the college year book issued annually by
an elected staff.

LaGrange College 11

The Scroll is the literary magazine issued to encourage cre-
ative writing. Students who do outstanding work on this publica-
tion are entitled to membership in the Quill Drivers Club.

The Scroll of Fame is composed of students who are out-
standing in their contribution to the college magazine. Each year
the group honored is selected by a faculty committee chosen by
the Scroll staff. Those selected in 1948 were Barbara Bennett,
Florrie Bryan, Beatrice Garrett, Fannie Mae Parks.

The Student Handbook is issued by the Student Govern-
ment Association. This is a manual of student life and contains
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 volun-
tary 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

14 LaGrange College

1921, all matriculates were made eligible to membership in the
association. The dues are one dollar per year.

The files and records of graduates are kept in the office of the
registrar. It is earnestly desired that alumnae chapters be formed
in localities where a sufficient number of graduates live; there-
fore, it is necessary that all changes of address be sent to the
registrar's office.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

Students may be admitted by certificate or by
examination.

Graduates of the accredited high schools are
admitted without examination, provided en-
trance 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.

CERTIFICATE 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 the work taken there. This rule may be
abated for students in speech, msuic, 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
subjects amounting to fifteen units. The units assigned to the sub-
ject 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
prescribed. The remaining seven are to be selected from the list of
elective units given below.

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 semes-
ter has a value of three hours.

The minimum work required for graduation is one hundred
twenty-four hours, three and one-half of which must be in physical
education.

The minimum semester for freshmen and seniors is fourteen
hours, exclusive of physical education. The minimum for sopho
mores and juniors is fifteen hours. The maximum semester for
freshmen and sophomores is seventeen hours; for juniors and
seniors, eighteen hours.

Written permission must be sent by the parent or guardian,
directly through the mails, addressed to the Registrar, and not
to the student, before any subject may be dropped.

GRADUATION IN THREE YEARS

Students who find it desirable to accelerate their college course
may complete it in three years. To do so the student must take
heavier work the last two years and must attend two summe
schools. Any student wishing to follow this accelerated course
must plan the work in detail with the Dean.

STUDENT LIFE

Student life at LaGrange College is based on comradeship in a
congenial atmosphere. The Student Government Association is a
symbol of the democratic ideal for student life on the campus.
Every student is a member of the Association and with the aid
of the Student Council seeks to uphold the spirit of honor and
truth in cooperation and service.

There are numerous interest groups on the campus with which
students are invited to affiliate, affording opportunity for the
development of special interests and abilities: such clubs as the
Camera Club, the Internaitonal Relations Club, the Home Eco-
nomics Club, etc. The Athletic Association has arranged a pro-
gram to meet the needs of all of the students. The objective of
this group is the promotion of interest in athletics and physical
development. The Y. W. C. A. is a voluntary religious organiza-
tion which, as its name implies, deals with the spiritual develop-
ment and places special emphasis on creative living. Week day
vespers after dinner are held in the Prayer Hall under the direction
of the students in this organization. The Baptist Student Union,
the Methodist Student Movement, and the Westminster Fellow-
ship are active on the campus The Chapel Choir and Harmonettes
afford opportunity for the development of interest in good music,
and these groups are trained under the direction of the head
of the voice department. The Curtain Raisers present several plays
each year.

Every girl who comes to the college is invited to join one of
the four local sororities. The Inter-Sorority Council promotes the
spirit of social life of the campus.

On arrival at the college, the student is given her registration
card with complete information for enrollment. The rooms are
furnished with heavy furniture, but each student furnishes her
own bed linens, blankets, towels, curtains, and other decorative
items for her room. The student bank is operated for the benefit
of boarding students, and all personal cash should be deposited
in this bank, and it may be checked out as desired. The college
does not assume responsibility for money kept in the student's
room.

Students wishing to leave the college for visits to their homes
or elsewhere off the campus must have permission from their
parents. This permission must be mailed direct to the Dean of
Women and not enclosed in letters to the students. No student is
permitted to spend the night in LaGrange off the campus, except

While we have listed in the above schedule every item of nec-
essary expense, there are some items, the aggregation of which is
small, and which, though not absolutely necessary, are advisable.
A young woman is sent away to college to be educated, not only
in books, but for life, and she should be taught to give systemati-
cally to the church, Sunday school, and other or^an'zations, in
order that she may return to her community with convictions
as to her individual duty.

We suggest to parents the advisability of requiring their daugh-
ters to keep an itemized account of personal expenditures. Young
women should be taught the golden mean between extravagance
and too rigid economy.

NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES

Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College.
Students are not aHoived to register until satisfactory financial
arrangements are made.

48 LaGrange College

Students are entitled to the first transcript of their records free
of charge. For other transcripts a fee of one dollar will be
charged.

The college will be closed for the Christmas holidays.

DISCOUNTS

When two or more boarding students are entered from the
same family, a ten percent discount on literary tuition will be
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.

A professional discount of $62.50 per year will be allowed min-
isterial students who attend the school as day students and take a
full schedule of work. No discount is allowed for part time work.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The Witham Scholarship Fund

The Board of Trustees authorizes the President to offer scholar-
ships from the Witham Scholarship Fund to the value of one
hundred dollars in the boarding department for one year to the
honor graduates of accredited high schools, and fifty dollars to
Beta Club members.

The Dobbs Fund

The Board of Trustees has set up an annual scholarship fund
of $1,000, to be known as the Dobbs Fund. This fund, honoring
Samuel C. Dobbs, is to be used for worthy students needing
financial aid.

LaGrange College 49

The Martha Dixon Glanton Memorial Fund

This fund of $15,000 was set up by Mr. Henry D. Glanton of
LaGrange in memory of his mother. The income is used for
scholarship aid.

The Northern Scholarship Fund

This fund consists of dividends on the investment of $1,054.64
received from the family of T. H. Northern in memory of Mrs.
T. H. Northern.

LOANS
Students may be able to borrow from special funds of the col-
lege enough money to defray a large part of their expenses. This
money loaned to a student begins to bear interest 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 $185,000), the interest to be loaned to students at the college.

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.

Information concerning these funds can be secured from the
president. The decision as to who will be accepted is vested en-
tirely in a committee of the Board of Trustees, to whom all appli-
cations will be referred.

STUDENT AID

A few student-aid positions are available to students whose
academic standing indicates their ability to carry the extra load
of work.

Some student aid positions pay $100.00 per year. Dining hall
positions pay $225.00 per year. Students receiving the dining hall
positions must be willing to serve any student or professional
groups visiting the campus during the regular school term without
further renumeration.

THE LaGRANGE COLLEGE GIRLS' CREED

Life 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 impressions 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.
