Instructor of Secretarial Science A.B., LaGrange College 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. LaGrange College 9 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. CONCERT AND LECTURE SERIES In addition to frequent recitals given by members of the faculty and by students in the fine arts departments, a series of concerts and lectures by noted artists and authorities and of art exhibits is provided by the college.

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.

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. 16 LaGrange College COURSES LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OR ARTS Freshman Class English 101-2 6 hrs.

LaGrange College 45 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 with relatives. Guests are welcomed at the college for week-ends, but must not be invited until their entertainment is arranged for through the Dean of Women. 46 LaGrange College HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

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 No deductions will be made for pupils who enter within one month after the semester opens.

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. 50 LaGrange College GRADUATES, 1948 Bachelor of Arts Eleanor Gail Wheldon (as of class of 1947) College Park, Ga.

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.
