Sims 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. Lagrange college bulletin 15 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. The LaGrange College Radio Theatre broadcasts regularly over Stations WLAG and WTRP, 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 sponsors several art exhibits of national and state importance. The International Relations Club is made up of those students who are making history and social science their major or minor subject and others who have a special interest in international relations. All foreign students are honorary members of the club. It has for its main purpose the study of international relations. The programs include discussions by students, faculty members, and visitors who are especially interested in specific fields of inter- national relations. The Christadelphian Club was organized to promote wholesome 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 was established in 1942. Eligibility is oon- ditioned upon the literary hours taken and the academic standing of the student. Members are elected each year upon recommendations of the faculty. Election to this club is the highest distinction that can be conferred on a student. The awards are made at commencement. (20) Lagrange college bulletin 21 Honors Club: 1955-1956, Samuel Mitchell Baker, Barbara Joan Cowan, Lois Statham. The Choralaires present annual concerts at Christmas and in the spring. Numerous appearances of the musical organization are scheduled during the year in the city and throughout the state. Circle K is a Kiwanis-sponsored fellowship of college men organized into service clubs on more than 100 campuses. The LaGrange College chapter (No. 102) was activated in 1955 under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club of LaGrange. Guiding principles of Circle K are the daily living of the Golden Rule and service to college and community. Social Clubs. Social clubs are based on the campus sorority system. The four sororities and two fraternities include all students on the campus. The inter- sorority fraternity council creates and promotes cooperation among these social groups. Informal parties are held frequently on the campus and formal ban- quets are given in honor of members twice during the school year. Other social clubs include the Town Girls' Club and Preachers' Kids. Speakers are brought to the campus from tim.e to time who are specialists in the fields of personality, 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 creative writing. Students who do outstanding work on this publication are entitled to member- ship in the Quill Drivers Club.

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.

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 and Economics seeks to become a service department to all other departments of the college. It seeks also to serve directly, through the provision of its facilities, the armed services, banking, and other sectors of the whole com- munity. 80 Lagrange college bulletin business administration 101 Introduction to Business 3 hrs., 1st semester A general sur\'ey of the business world, familiarizing the student with the organization and operation of various types of business enterprises, and the operation of various types of business functions.

(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. Applied Music Orchestral Instruments 353-4 String Instruments Class Methods 4 hrs.

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.

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.
