LA GRANGE COLLEGE BULLETIN
In this one hundred and twenty-seventh year of service LaGrange College pre-
sents the regular bulletin, 1957-1959. LaGrange College is a four year liberal
arts college. Its objective is Christian education for Christian living. Its pur-
pose is the development of social and mental poise for citizenship and the
faithful performance by the individual student of present duties in prepara-
tion for future service in home, Church, community, and State.
Prevailing conditions add emphasis to the significance of such an educational
program designed to prepare students to live vi^orthily in such a day as this,
and to transmit to succeeding generations of college men and women the
priceless heritage of Christian culture.
Entered as second class matter at the Po^t Office at LaGrange, Georgia
under act of August 24th, 1912.
Bulletin issued quarterly, March, June, September, December.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORICAL SKETCH
LaGrange College has the longest history of any non-tax-supported institution
of higher education in Georgia, having been founded in 1831 as the LaGrange
Female Academy. Begun as a private school it was purchased for the North
Georgia Conference of The Methodist Church in 1856, with the citizens of
LaGrange furnishing half of the purchase price. When it became a coeduca-
tional college in 1953, it dropped its distinction as one of the three oldest
Protestant schools for women in the United States, according to the records
of the Library of Congress. In its metamorphosis it became LaGrange Female
Institute (1847), LaGrange Female College (1851), and LaGrange College
(1984).
ACADEMIC STANDING
As a coeducational four-year liberal arts college, LaGrange is fully accredited
by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has mem-
bership in the Georgia Methodist Colleges Association, the Georgia Associa-
tion of Colleges, the National Association of Methodist Colleges, the American
Council on Education, and the American Association of Colleges. The Georgia
State Department of Education confers professional certificates upon La-
Grange graduates who meet requirements in the elementary or secondary
fields of education. Students holding a degree from LaGrange are admitted
+0 graduate schools throughout the nation and abroad without examination.
LOCATION
The college is located in a town of 29,000 population, in the heart of a textile
and agricultural area. Within the city limits are mills operated by the Calla-
way Mills Company, the International Latex Corporation, the Pepperel Man-
ufacturing Company, and the West Point Manufacturing Company. Two rail-
roads and three bus lines serve the city. Nearby are some of Georgia's loveliest
scenic attractions. The fabled Chattahoochee River furnishes the town's water
supply. A forty-five minute drive takes visitors to Warm Springs to see the
Little White House and the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation. Within thirty
minutes one can easily reach Pine Mountain and beautiful Ida Cason Gardens,
the loveliest tourist attraction in Georgia with flower trails, beach, boating,
swimming, fishing, golfing, and dining.
Among the homes of LaGrange are many of modern design, but many also
of ante-bellum vintage. Several are mentioned in Medora Perkerson's "White
Columns of Georgia." They witnessed the drills of the only feminine miltary
company in existence during the War Between the States. This company was
known as the Nancy Harts.
The community was named LaGrange following a visit of General LaFayette
to Governor Troup of Georgia in 1826. The General remarked to the Governor
that this section of the country looked more like his section of France than
(13)
14 Lagrange college bulletin
any part of the United States which he had visited. The county was named
for Governor Troup. The town was chartered as LaGrange in 1828 in honor
of the great French general who supported George Washington in the Revo-
lutionary War. LaGrange was the name of LaFayette's estate in France. A
charter for the founding of the school was granted by the state legislature in
1831, only three years after the town was established. The bill to charter the
school was introduced by Alexander H. Stephens.
The city is adorned by its marble public buildings, lovely churches, cultivated
parks, playing fountains, landscaped playgrounds, the stately Callaway
Tower, and the finest public school buildings in the state. With the exception
of the First Methodist Church, the oldest institution in the city is LaGrange
College.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
Students find opportunities for religious worship and service in a manner
afforded by few college communities. The Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,
and Episcopal denominations have churches within a ten-minute walk of the
college. Within a radius of one mile are more than twenty-five churches of
many denominations. Students direct choirs, teach in church schools, sing in
choirs, and play the piano or organ in many of the churches. Others worship
regularly in the church of their choice and, in many instances, become affil-
iate members of the churches during their college years.
During the summers students serve their denominations on missionary teams
in the mountains, on caravan teams in the United States and in Cuba, at
Lake Junaluska in North Carolina, at Camp Glisson and at Epworth-By-the-
Sea in Georgia, at "Y" Camps as counselors, in Vacation Bible Schools, and at
camps for underprivile,2:ed children as directors and counselors.
The motivating spirit for this service is the religious program on the campus.
The dean of the chapel. Dr. Davis P. Melson, provides two religious programs
weekly, inviting fine speakers to address the student body and faculty. Chapel
attendance is compulsory.
The Student Christian Association sponsors two vesper programs each week
and a meditation period every night for men and women students. Attendance
is voluntary.
Local churches cooperate with campus leadership to promote denominational
interest through the Methodist Student Movement, the Baptist Student Union,
and the Westminster Fellowship.
The Christadelphians, students majoring in religion or religious education,
participate in projects of their own, such as presentng Christmas programs at
the Old Folks' Home and teaching classes in leadership training in certain
local churches.
The Ministerial Association is composed of students studying for the Christian
ministry in any denomination of their choice. They plan programs designed
to help them in their training and devotional life. A number of them serve
pastorates within travel distance of the college.

Special lecturers and noted preachers are brought to the campus throughout
the year so that students may receive the highest inspiration that the lecture
platform and the pulpit can afford. These constitute a valid part of the edu-
cational program.
No student at LaGrange College is compelled to be religious, but no effort
on the part of student leadership or faculty and administrative control is
spared to give to the students every inducement to know Christ as the Saviour
and to live as a normal wholesome Christian.
The high light of religious observance is Religious Emphasis Week when an
eminent preacher, chosen by a committee of students and administration, de-
livers six sermons to the students and faculty in three days. His services are
made available to the students for counseling.
SOCIAL LIFE
Recognizing that every well-balanced life demands both recognition and par-
ticipation, LaGrange College offers splendid opportunities for proper social
contacts. Fraternities and sororities are maintained on a local basis for three
reasons: (1) They are less expensive than national fraternities or sororities.
(2) Every student at LaGrange is offered a bid to join one. (3) The aim is
to develop social fellowship and social graces rather than social snobbery. The
prestige of the sororities lies in the fact that they are much older than many
nationals. The prestige of the fraternities lies in the loyalty and enthusiasm
manifested by the memberships. Most important is the fact that at LaGrange
every man and every woman belongs !
The social groups sponsor dances, week-end parties, hamburger roasts, hay-
rides, beach parties at the Ida Cason Gardens, alumni parties, and more
parties. On Field Day they fight in athletic competition for trophies.
As a part of social life the students are given instruction in social behavior
during the freshman year.
During the year many receptions and teas take place in the college parlors,
in the President's Home, and on the lawn.
To insure that every student receives proper recognition from the beginning
of his college life the Student Christian Association assigns a Big Sister to
every new woman student and a Big Brother to every new male student. No
attempt is made to work out a brother-sister relationship. Nature takes care
of that.
Breaches in conduct are handled, for the most part, by Student Government.
The college authorities give full support to the actions of the Student Council.
Dating of women students either by men students or other friends requires
that all dates shall be "signed out" in the office of the Dean of Women.
Servicemen from Fort Benning may visit women students on the campus.
They may not leave the campus with a woman student until a letter of recom-
mendation has been received from the serviceman's home pastor and a letter
of permission from the woman student's parents. To date other men who are
not LaGrange College students a woman student needs only her parents'
16 Lagrange college bulletin
permission. By the "sign-out" system the college seeks to know the where-
abouts of all students at anytime so that they may be notified in cases of
family emergency.
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
People enjoy fine things if they are properly interpreted and if they can see
and hear them. On that premise LaGrange students are given an opportunity
to hear fine music, both vocal and instrumental. They see good art. They enjoy
the best in dramatic presentations. Moreover, if they are talented, they have
opportunity to participate in music programs, to produce original art, and to
take part in drama productions.
Artists, in all of the fields within the division of fine arts, are brought to the
community and to the campus annually. Student performances also are of the
highest quality.
Art exhibits from other schools are shown in the College Gallery. The students
exhibit their work at LaGrange and elsewhere.
The Choralaires (the Glee Club) make an annual tour. The forty singers
develop a strong love of good music and enjoy the thrill of harmonious par-
ticipation. LaGrange singers were the first Glee Club to sing on "The Meth-
odist Hour," heard over 250 American radio stations and by Armed Forces
Radio around the world. They sang to an audience of 30,000 people in the
Oranp:e Bowl in Miami.
The Curtain Raisers present five or six major productions a year. The drama
department has the distinction of putting more graduates on the professional
stage than any school in Georgia. Plays are presented by invitation to a num-
ber of Georgia and Alabama communities.
The Fine Arts Festival, annual observance by the division, emphasizes the
major art forms during National Music Week.
The lecture high light of the year is the Arthur H. Thompson Lecture Series
that brings to the campus a noted scholar to address the college and the com-
munity on the interrelationship of his field of learning and religion. Other
lecturers are heard at Convocation, chapel programs, Religious Emphasis
Week, and Commencement.
LIBRARY
The William N. Banks Library, located on the quadrangle in a beautiful
and conveniently-arranged building, contains a "live" collection of about
eighteen thousand volumes, classified according to the Dewey-Decimal system.
These books have been carefully selected to meet both the curricular and
recreational needs of students and faculty. During the past five years, four
thousand volumes have been purchased through regular college appropriations
and the generosity of interested friends. Seven newspapers and one hundred
sixty literary, popular, technical, and religious magazines are currently re-
ceived, while extensive back files of these magazines are shelved in the periodi-
cal room. Phonograph records of classical, modern, and popular music are
Lagrange college bulletin 17
available for both library and home use. A Califone record player, equipped
with ear-phones, is a popular addition to library facilities. All stacks are
open, making" library materilas readily accessible to the students.
In addition to the excellent library service offered by the college, students are
privileged to use the local public libraries: the LaGrange Memorial Library
and the Coleman Library.
PERSONNEL SERVICE
LaGrange students are respected as persons from the time they are contacted
by a college representative. Every contact is on a basis of courtesy and good
will.
Upon entering school the student is given tests to determine I. Q. and aptitude.
All such information is kept strictly confidential and used for guidance and
counseling.
Students select their courses under the supervision of a faculty adviser. The
college Dean is always vnlling to give professional advice in case of more
difficult problems. Care is taken to see that a student loses no credit by trans-
ferring to other schools, provided the student gives notice of such intentions
before selecting courses at LaGrange. Special attention is given to students
who plan to transfer to professional schools.
The departmental heads offer assistance where needed in securing employ-
ment for graduates. Placement has afforded no serious difficulty. Graduates
have made names for themselves in such diverse areas as foreign consular
service, medicine, missions, teaching, music, ministry, magazine editorship,
medical technology, stage, secretarial work, art, all branches of military, bus-
iness, college presidency, nuclear physics, insurance, etc. Small colleges pro-
duce a disproportionately large amount of leadership for the local community
and the nation because of the personal attention given to the students by well-
chosen instructors.
LaGrange provides a counseling and guidance service to all students, directing
them into the fields for which they are best suited.
In personal matters students may secure the ready counseling service of the
residence counselors, the Dean of Women, the college Dean, or the President.
Students find members of the faculty and staff also ready to assist in personal
affairs on a confidential basis.
ORIENTATION PROGRAM
All new students are expected to report on Sunday before the old students
report on Tuesday.
The new students are greeted by the campus student leaders who, during the
first two days, help them get situated in their new surroundings. The new
students become acquainted with the traditions of the college and are intro-
duced to the buildings, the organizations, and some of the college activities.
During the first semester all freshmen take a seminar course which gives one
hour credit.
PHILOSOPHY OF LAGRANGE COLLEGE*
The purpose of LaGrange College is to foster the full development of the stu-
dents as individuals and as members of society. The aim of Christian education
is to provide for growth intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual.
Therefore the program must be flexible enough to prepare each student ac-
cording to the individual interests, needs, and capacities for a life of maximum
usefulness and service to society. The curriculum and program must be broad
enough to provide opportunities for the students who wish to do graduate
work, or transfer credits, and for the students who wish to go to work im-
mediately after graduation. Fundamentals which are necessary for success in
modern society should be provided for all.
The curriculum and program must provide for an appreciation of our na-
tional heritage. We make an attempt to retain the best cultural heritage
of civilization and build on that heritage. At the same time the curriculum and
program provides for an appreciation of v;orld-wide conditions and makes
an effort to contribute toward international-mindedness.
The administration and faculty seek to guide students in solving their prob-
lems, in making adjustments, and in selecting their life's work. The student's
welfare is of paramount importance and the teacher-pupil relationship of
prime significance. Training is given in the development of initiative, self-
confidence, and dependability. The program seeks to instill within the indi-
vidual courtesy, honesty, and respect for the rights of others, so that the stu-
dents ^vill be able to take their places as responsible members of a society,
within the framework of the home and community, in civic, religious, social,
and business or professional activities.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of LaGrange College as outlined through the curriculum and
campus program are to assist the students in adjusting themselves to the
increasing responsibilities of expanding activities and to inspire in them a
desire to become builders of a better society. In order to fulfill these objectives
the college provides for the students the opportunity to get the following:
1. A knowledge of themselves sufficient to enable them to care for their
physical, mental, and spiritual welfare.
2. A sufficient mastery of spoken and written English to express them-
selves intelligibly and accurately, aided by the acquisition of at least one
foreign language.
3. A sound historical and philosophical foundation for a sincere Christian
faith and life.
After weeka of serious tudy by a special faculty committee, this statemen of philosophy
was adopted by the administration and faculty on February 6, r.;53.
(18)
Lagrange college bulletin 19
4. Information and training to make them efficient members of the home
and society.
5. An appreciation of the beautiful and the good in literature, music, art,
and drama.
6. An acquaintance with the most important social, economic, political, and
religious forces which have operated in the past to make society what it
is today, and an acquaintance with the forces which are operating most
strongly today to make the society cf tomorrow.
7. An insight into the facts and theories of science which have most vitally
affected man's thought and action.
8. Professional and business training. The curriculum is designed to in-
crease the knowledge, culture, and Christian sociality of the students,
at the same time fitting them for gainful and contributive living.
9. A satisfactory acquaintance with and proficiency in at least one major
interest.
10. A keen interest in community activities.
A serious attitude toward life is stressed. There is a time to study, a time to
play, a tim.e to work, and a time to worship. Proper stewardship of life pro-
vides ample time for the balanced emphasis upon these duties. Individual
growth is achieved through Imaginative direction of talents. Proper counseling
enables students to choose both a program of studies and extra-curricular ac-
tivities for maximum development of abilities and talents. Sound learning is
requisite for any serious program of higher education. Study, reading, writing,
and individual research supplement our program of education in the classroom.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
ORGANIZATIONS
The Student Government Association, based on powers 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 Student Christian Association is a religious organization in which
all students hold membership. A council, assisted by a faculty advisory com-
mittee, plans and promotes the religious activities of the college program. A
bi-weekly vesper service is held by the students for prayer, meditation, and
religious instruction.
The Athletic Association, composed of the entire student body under the
supervision of the physical 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 promotion of wholesome sports-
manship are responsibilities of the organization.
The Curtain Raisers, dramatic organization, sponsors all productions of the
speech department. Its membership is composed of students in the speech de-
partment and other students qualifying for membership.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The LaGrange College Alumni Association was organized to keep the alumni
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
alumni 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 alumni have adopted the "Dix schedule" of class reunions. In 1957 the
folowing classes will meet: 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908,
1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946. IN 1958 the following classes
will meet; 1890, 1891, 1892, 1893, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1928, 1929, 1930,
1931, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, and in 1959, the following classes will meet: 1894,
1895, 1896, 1897, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1951, 1952,
1953, 1954.
Every person who has attended the college for any length of time is eligible
for membership in the Alumni Association. There are no alumni dues, but
each alumnus is requested to contribute annually to the Alumni Fund. A
monthly bulletin will be sent to each alumnus who contributes a dollar or more.
It is earnestly desired that alumni 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 alumni office.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Freshman Orientation Program 1 hr., 1st semester
The orientation course includes units on adjusting to college, library training,
study skills, social life, hygiene, vocational choices, and other topics designed
to help freshmen in their transfer from high school to college life.
The program will be directed by the Dean of Students and her staff.
One weekly hour class during the first semester.
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS
Professor Taylor
Associate Professor Dilley
Assistant Professor Robinette
The Department of Business Administration and Economics offers courses of
instruction leading to the bachelor's degree with major emphasis on business
administration, economics, or secretarial science, and to the two years' cer-
tificate in secretarial science.
The principal objective of the department is to train young men and women
for responsible positions in the business world. Many departmental graduates,
however, will enter government service or the teaching profession or take
graduate work. Other students in the department will be chiefly interested in
obtaining a knowledge and appreciation of the working of the modern economic
society and an understanding of their roles in it as responsible citizens.
To implement these instructional objectives, the department will cooperate
closely with the business community of the area, wherever possible making
actual business operations and specific business problems a workshop for the
classroom. The resulting familiarization of the students with a cross-section
of the business life of the Southeast will enable them to make a maximum
contribution to its future economic development.
Apart from its instructional aims, the Department of Business Administration

FINE ARTS

Instructor Moody
The Department of Fine Arts has three principal objectives:
(1) To contribute to the total development of all students at LaGrange College
through increasing their awareness of the beauty in the world in which they
live, to assist them in gaining experiences that will lead them to find creative
expression through one or more of the fine arts, and to help them to an under-
standing of the position the Fine Arts have held in the history of mankind and
the relationship of the Fine Arts to all the other broad areas of human ex-
perience.
(2) To provide a superior curriculum, taught by a faculty with the highest
standards, for those students who choose the Fine Arts as their field of
specialization whether it be in the specific area of Music, Speech and Drama,
or the Visual Arts.
(3) To contribute to the cultural life of the community through a spirit of
cooperation in those activities which make the richly rewarding experiences
of the realm of the Fine Arts available to every individual.
102 Fine Arts - Survey of the Arts 3 hrs., 2nd Semester
A course designed to give the student an elementary acquaintance with
and an appreciation of music and art. Professor Westafer and Pro-
fessor Sellers.
MUSIC
The Music Section is one of three sections which constitute the Depart-
ment of Fine Arts. It prepares students for professional work in the
various areas of applied music and in the teaching of music in public
schools.
EQUIPMENT
The Music Section occupies a portion of the Samuel C. Dobbs Building.
This includes several well-equipped studios, practice rooms, a rehearsal
room, and an attractive auditorium for recital use.
The college owns an adequate amount of equipment for use in teaching,
Lagrange college bulletin 39
practice, and other music activity. There are a goodly number of grand
pianos, including two very fine concert pianos on the stage of the audi-
torium, and many upright pianos. The auditorium houses a three-manual
Morton pipe organ. In addition to this organ there is a Wurlitzer organ
for practice purposes.
Several phonographs and a tape recorder are also included in the equip-
ment.
LIBRARY
The college library includes an impressive number of books in all areas
of music. There is excellent basic material in the history of music,
theory of music, music of the church, conducting, music education,
biographies of the great composers, as well as the usual reference works
such as music dictionaries and encyclopedias.
A fine collection of phonograph records of all the principal periods of
music history is available, and the library includes also a collection of
music scores and a number of music magazines. The library has an ex-
cellent phonograph with earphone attachments which is available to all
students and members of the faculty for listening to phonograph records.
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
The mixed chorus, known as the Choralaires, is open to qualified students
in all departments of the college. Membership in the group is obtained
by audition. Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree whose major
field of concentration is music are required to earn a certain amount of
credit in chorus participation as indicated in their major curriculum
schedule. To obtain credit, however, attendance at rehearsals and public
performances must be regular.
It is an objective of this musical organization to provide careful train-
ing in performances of both sacred and secular choral works of a high
caliber. Personality development through the social values inherent in
group music activity is a definite advantage of participation in this
group.
Concert appearances both on the campus and on tour are a usual part
of the annual schedules of LaGrange College choral groups.
Several smaller vocal groups play an important part in the musical life
of both the college and the surrounding territory. These include a mixed
double quartet and a ladies' double sextet.
The college orchestra is open to students in all departments f the col-
lege. Credit can be earned in this activity, or it can be used as an extra-
curricular activity.
RECITALS AND CONCERTS
The college sponsors a number of recitals and concerts by students and
visiting artists each year. Attendance is required of all students taking
music except of those taking only chorus, instrumental ensemble, or Fine
Arts 102.
40 Lagrange college bulletin
preparatory and special students
In addition to developing the musical life of the regular college student
the Music Section offers opportunities to others, who are not candidates
for a degree, to study music for its cultural or professional value. Those
persons who wish to take advantage of this service to the community
may register as preparatory or as special students.
No previous training is required for registration in this category. Ap-
plication and registration should be made through the chairman of the
Department of Fine Arts. All those applying for the first time for ad-
mission as preparatory or special students will be given an interview,
and those who have had pre\ious training will be given an audition.
This procedure assists the chairman of the Department of Fine Arts
in making assignments to instructors. In all instances the assignment of
students to teachers is to be made by the chairman of the department.

The courses the student takes in applied music must be in one instru-
ment or voice. An exception will be made in the instance of voice students
who are deficient in piano. In the event a student, whose major applied
music activity is voice, has not gained a reasonable facility in piano
before entering college, he will be required to earn at least four
hours credit in piano. The head of the department will establish, by
audition, when the student enters college, whether he has a sufficient
background of piano study. An adequate background in this area will
normally be considered to be the ability to play works corresponding in
difficulty to the Little Preludes Bach, Sonatinas Clementi, Album for
the Young Schumann.
In the event additional piano study is recommended, the student will be
required to reduce the amount of credit in voice to a total of fourteen
hours and to limit his study of counterpoint to one semester only.
All students whose major applied music activity is voice will be re-
quired to sing in the college chorus all four years of his study. Credit
earned in choral singing, however, may not be used toward satisfying
the credit requirement for the major. All students whose major in ap-
plied music is in an instrument will be required to participate in some
college music ensemble, either vocal or instrumental, all four years of
his study. Credit earned in this activity may not be used toward satis-
fying the credit requirement for the major.

graduates who teach offer their services in this state, is given major
emphasis but the department keeps abreast of variations that may arise
in case our graduates contemplate working in another state.
The Social Science Department is keenly aware of the close relationship

REFUNDS
In connection with refunds, the College has adopted a policy which is con-
sistent with good business standards. Parents and students should realize that
the finances of the institution are planned on the basis of anticipated income
for an academic year. Without such basis the educational services of the in-
stitution cannot be effectively developed. In this connection, therefore, it is
assumed that a student engaging a room in a college residence is assuming
financial responsibility for the room for the full academic year.
In connection with tuition, the fee which is paid is allotted to appropriate
expenses of the institution on the basis of the use of the tuition fee for the
academic year. With this anticipation in mind the program of the institution
can be developed on a sound business basis, which is protective to its students.
No refund of tuition or fee is allowed a student withdrawing after mid-
semester.
If the withdrawal occurs before mid-semester, tuition will be charged from
the beginning of the semester to the date of notice of withdrawal, at the rate
of $15.00 per week plus one-half of course or laboratory fee. The minimum
net charge at withdrawal is $30.00.
No refund of the General Fee is allowable.
Rebates for meals will be made on the established weekly rates for students
not attending a full semester.
Lagrange college bulletin 91
Rebates on room rent will not be made after four weeks following the official
opening of the residence halls for either the first semester or the second
semester. Up to four weeks in residence a student will be charged on the basis
of $5.00 per week.
There will be no refunds on private lessons in music or voice which are
dropped later than one week after beginning of semester, unless judged an
emergency by the instructor.
No reduction of tuition will be allowed a student dropping one or more
courses four weeks after classes begin.
NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES
All checks should be made payable to LaGrange College. All dues must be
settled in cash before students can receive diploma or transcript of credits.
If an account becomes delinquent the student will not be permitted to continue
class work. Students are entitled to a first transcript of their records free of
charge. For other transcripts a fee of $1.00 will be charged.
The College will be closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring holidays.

THE LA GRANGE COLLEGE STUDENT'S 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.
