LaGrange College In the year 1831 the LaGrange Female Academy was chartered by the Georgia Legislature. It became a college in 1851, and today stands among the three oldest Protestant colleges for women in the United States, according to the records of the Library of Congress. It is a four year liberal arts college, accredited by the Southern As- sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools and endorsed by The Methodist Senate, with membership in the Georgia Association of Colleges, the Association of A.merican Colleges, the American Council on Education, and the National Association of Methodist Colleges. The Georgia State Department of Education offers professional certificates to students meeting the qualifications for teaching in ele- mentary and high schools. The purpose of LaGrange College is to provide opportunities for a sound undergraduate education in several of the major fields of study under the competent direction of trained scholars in a Christian environment. Sponsored by The Methodist Church, the college is spiritual in nature, but non-sectarian in its program. The Faculty and Board of Trustees represent several of the major Protestant denominations. Men are admitted to the classes and participate fully in the pro- gram of the student body. Because of their faith in the quality of education at LaGrange and because of their conviction that this school makes a contribution to the lives of students that the secular schools cannot make, the trustees have enterprised a program which amounts to a $325 scholar- ship for every boarding student that enrolls. The present cost of educating a student at LaGrange is $1125 per year. The trustees, through an endowment program, provide $325 and ask the students to furnish $800 each on their cost of education a year. The size of the student body and the ratio of faculty to students make it possible for the faculty and administration to know all of the students well. A testing program reveals the fitness of the in- dividual student and enables the college to offer professional counsel- ling and advice. A balanced curriculum and schedule of activities afford all students a maximum opportunity for the development of their powers. RELIGION The religious life of the students demands serious attention. Out- standing ministers are brought to the campus for chapel addresses and sermons. In the fall a Religion-in-Life Week is observed, at which time a noted scholar is invited to lecture on the place of religion in (11) 12 LaGrange College his field of learning, and the contribution of his specialty to religion. In the spring a Religious Emphasis Week is scheduled, with a noted preacher asked to preach sermons of an evangelistic nature. In each case the guests are made available to the students for personal counsel- ling. All students study the Bible. Chapel attendance is compulsory three times a week. For the first four week-ends of the fall semester students are re- quired to remain at LaGrange College so that they may attend Sun- day schools and churches of their choice and come to feel at home in the local churches. The local ministers and their staffs give earnest attention to the spiritual needs of the students. The Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches have active student organizations for men and women. The YWCA is strong and promotes a vital program. SOCIAL LIFE There are four sororities on the campus, with every girl invited to join one of them. They are local sororities, but are older than many nationals. They keep their local status for two main reasons. They are quite inexpensive to belong to, and they set as their aim the development of social graces rather than social superiority. All women's athletic contests are scheduled through the sororities. The sororities sponsor parties and house parties. There are four major dances a year, with escorts invited from Emory, Georgia Tech, Uni- versity of Georgia, University of Alabama and Auburn. The men students are organized and promote an athletic program and social events. They enjoy their own musical organization, pre- senting programs to the student body and to service clubs by invita- tion. They take a major part in the production of drama, which is on a premium level. CULTURE Music occupies a strong position. The faculty is competent. The instruments are unusually fine. There is a Wurlitzer electric organ for practice, and a very large Morton theatre organ for recitals. The concert pianos are new, and all practice pianos are good. The college participates in the Community Concert Series, which brings the finest artists to the city. These are popular with the students. Student recitals also give ample opportunity for the development of poise in vocal or instrumental music. Two large women's choruses and one men's chorus give opportunity for singing in harmony. The Chapel Choir, as the glee club is called, makes one long annual tour. The Harmonettes and the men's group LaGrange College 13 sing on occasions by appointment. The Emory-at-Oxford Glee Club and the LaGrange Chapel Choir sing jointly at Oxford and at La- Grange in great concerts, offering such oratorios as The Messiah and Elijah. The Art Department presents exhibits in its modern gallery. Show- ings are exchanged with other schools. Professional exhibits are offered to the student body and to the community. The department boasts the fact that Lamar Dodd, one of America's top modern artists, is a graduate of LaGrange College. Drama is a popular feature and taken seriously. Five full-length plays are given annually. Four of the 195 1 graduates went on to the professional stage. Radio training is a part of the Speech Department's work, with emphasis on script writing, sound effects, production, and announcing. SCIENCE The science laboratories (physics, biology, and chemistry) are furnished with the latest and finest equipment. All students are given an opportunity to study one or more of the natural sciences. Secretarial science courses are presented with the academic courses in order to develop secretaries rather than stenographers. Graduates in this field are in constant demand. Home Economics is available with a major offered, but without the professional degree. The department is primarily for students in- terested in clothing construction, foods, and homemaking. TEACHING The State Department of Education offers professional certif- icates to LaGrange students meeting our requirements to teach in Elementary Education and in the high schools in the Social Studies, English, Foreign Languages, and General Science. LaGrange grad- uates have never found it difficult to secure satisfactory employment as teachers. ATHLETICS The athletic program is for all students. All are required to participate in classes, games, and events that develop skills for the strengthening of the body, for proper posture, and for the happy use of leisure time. Softball, tennis, badminton, swimming, horseshoes, table tennis, tumbling, volley ball and archery are among the most popular sports. 14 LaGrange College THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM A study of the courses offered will reveal a strong curriculum. Seventeen majors are offered. The fine arts sciences, humanities, social sciences, and religion make up a fine program of study. Students are expected to spend approximately two hours in study for every hour they spend in the classroom. Even so, with a proper budgeting of time, there is plenty of time for extra-curricular activities. LaGrange College professors are noted for their willingness to aid any earnest student outside of the classroom. Our interest is in developing self-direction and self-discipline. Every student is given opportunity for the development of his powers. The student must do his part. The college is Christian in all aspects of its life. Qualified students are welcome who recognize this fact. LaGrange College 15 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. The Athletic Association, composed of the entire student body under the supervision of the physical education director, controls the program of college sports. It formulates rules for eligibility to athletic teams and con- duct of interclass sports. Maintenance of athletic equipment and promotion of whole- some sportsmanship are responsibilities 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 friendship and leadership among all home economics students. 16 LaGrange College The Horatian Club was organized for the purpose of increasing interest in science by means of field trips, discussions, and demonstra- tions. 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 Club. The honors club system was established in 1942. 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 con- ferred 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 years 1949-1950, 1950-1951 are listed: Honors Club: 1949-50, Barbara Bennett, Pauline Lane, Mary Leone Perkerson, Carolyn Salmon, Martha Young Bridges. Fine Arts Honors Club: 1949-50, Blanche McKinney. Honors Club: 1950-51, Doris Alexander, Kenneth Brumbeloe, Juanita Daniel, Leta Dawson, Cleamae McClure, Blanche Mc- Kinney, Ernest Nelson, Alice Paxton Norris, Mary Leone Perkerson, Evelyn Preston, Charlotte Rogers, Carolyn Salmon, Wyndolyn Vine- yard, June Wilder, Loyua Zipperer. The Harmonettes and Chapel Choir present annual concerts at Christmas and in the spring. Numerous appearances of the musical organizations are scheduled during the year in the city and throughout the state. Social Clubs. Social clubs are based on the campus sorority sys- tem. 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 LaGrange College 17 and formal banquets are given in honor of members twice during the school year. Other social clubs include the Town Girls' Club, Preachers' Kids, and the Newnan Club. Charm Week brings to the campus a panel of speakers who are specialists in the fields of personalities, good grooming, etiquette, correct dress and other phases that will enhance the social life and development of the student. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS The Quadrangle is the college yearbook issued annually by an elected staff. The Scroll is the literary magazine issued to encourage crea- tive writing.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Students may be admitted by certificate or by examination. Graduates of the accredited high schools are admitted without examination. 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, 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 vacation. Candi- dates will find it much easier to attend to this before their schools close for the summer. LaGrange College 21 ALUMNAE 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. There is a permanent Alumnae office on the campus, and a full-time secretary is employed to carry on the work of the Association. The annual reunion is held during Commencement each year, and all are warmly invited to return to the college for that meeting. In order that special reunions may be arranged for those classes who were associated in college, our alumnae have adopted the "Dix schedule" of class reunions. In 1952 the following groups of classes are scheduled to meet in reunion: 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945. In 1953 the following classes will meet: 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1908, 1909, 1910, 191 1, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949; and in 1954 these classes will meet: 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953. Every person who has attended the college for any length of time is eligible for membership in the Alumnae Association. There are no Alumnae dues, but each Alumna is requested to contribute annually to the Alumnae Fund. A monthly bulletin will be sent to each Alumna who contributes a dollar or more. It is earnestly desired that Alumnae chapters be formed in localities where a sufficient number of graduates and former students live. All changes of address, marriages, births, and deaths should be reported directly to the Alumnae office.

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 International Relations Club, the Home Economics Club, etc. The Athletic Association has arranged a program to meet the needs of all 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 re- ligious organization which, as its name implies, deals with the spiritual development 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 Fellowship 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 pro- motes the spirit of social life of the campus. On arrival at the college, the student is given her registra- tion card with complete information for enrollment. The rooms are furnished with heavy furniture, but each student furnishes her own bed linens, blankets, towels, curtains, a broom, rugs and decorative items for her room. The student bank is op- erated 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 students 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 her immediate family. Guests are wel- 58 LaGrange College corned at the college for week-ends, but must not be invited until their entertainment is arranged for through the Dean of Women. No boarding students will go home for the first four week- ends, except in cases of real emergency. Football games and dates do not constitute emergencies. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Tuition and fees for day students 1st semester $195.00 2nd semester $175.00 Tuition and fees for boarding students 1st semester $195.00 2nd semester $175.00 Tuition and fees for students entering second semester $187.50 Room and Board 1st semester $215.00 2nd semester $215.00 Part time students are charged at the rate of $15.00 per semester hour. Students will pay the charges for each semester at the beginning of the semester unless special arrangements are made in advance. A deposit of $5.00 must be made before a room is assigned. This fee is deducted from the payment required on entrance in September. If the reservation is cancelled prior to July 15, this deposit will be re- turned. Books are sold for CASH only in The College Book Store. Private nurse and personal physician, other than the regular college physician, as well as prescriptions and medicines ordered from the drugstore, must be paid for by the student. SPECIAL FEES Art 11-12, Saturday Morning Class for Children $10.00 per semester Speech 103-4, 201-2, 301-2 $25.00 per semester Speech 401-2 $50.00 per semester A science laboratory fee of $5.00 is charged for each course each semester in chemistry, biology, and physics.

A young wom- an is sent away to college to be educated, 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. 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 extravagance and too rigid economy. NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College. Students are not allowed to register until satisfactory financial ar- rangements are made. Charges for special courses are made on a semester basis and not on a "per lesson" basis. No refund of tuition and fees is allowed a student withdrawing after mid-semester. Students who withdraw before mid-semester will be charged tuition from opening date to the date of notice of withdrawal at the rate of $10.00 per week plus one-half of any laboratory fee. Dormitory residents withdrawing before mid-semester are charged one-half total semester room rent. Refund on meals will be made on a monthly basis. The semester rate for meals has been adjusted to allow for the normal number of meals missed and is therefore not subject to refunds for meals missed by students for personal or bus- iness reasons. Students taking 7 hours or less are expected to pay a library fee of $5.00. Studio students are not expected to pay an activity or library fee. Studio students' fees are to be paid in advance at the beginning of each semester. All dues must be settled in cash before students can receive diplomas or transcripts 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. The college will be closed for the Christmas holidays. 60 LaGrange College 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 re- main 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 authorize 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 grad- uates of accredited high schools, and fifty dollars to Beta Club mem- bers. 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. 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 scholar- ship aid. The Northen Scholarship Fund This fund consists of dividends on the investment of $1,054.64 received from the family of T. H. Northen in memory of Mrs. T. H. Northen. The National Methodist Scholarship Three National Methodist Scholarships are provided annually which pay the total tuition ($370) fees. Selection of recipients is LaGrange College 61 made by the President and Dean from Methodist students who are in the top 15% of their high school or college classes. Students must retain their high scholastic standing in order to keep the scholarship for more than one year. Selection is made on the basis of character, active interest in the Church, promise of useful service, and scholar- ship. LOANS Students may be able to borrow from special funds of the college 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, donated to the college the sum of $10,000 (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 to be used as a loan fund. Information concerning these funds can be secured from the presi- dent. 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 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 per year. Dining hall positions pay $225 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 remuneration ; these students are expected to remain on the campus through Gradua- tion Day. MEMORIAL BOOK COLLECTIONS The Hubert T. Quillian Book Collection was established by the LaGrange Rotary Club with a $1,000 purchase of new volumes. The fund has risen to above $2,000 in book purchases in memory of the late President of LaGrange College. The Bannister R. Bray Memorial Book Collection was established by the Reverend Vivian L. Bray in memory of his father. Over a period of years the collection has grown, with further provision being made for its continuance in the will of the Reverend Mr. Bray.

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.
