We understand the impossibility of the per- manently ideal college curriculum, and we constantly strive to revise our procedures in accordance with the principles upon which our institution was founded. Since the days when our charter was granted, emphasis has been placed upon the liberal arts. In our attempts to advance in the liberal arts tradition, we have divided our endeavors into five distinct fields: fine arts, humanities, science and mathematics, social science, and education. We believe that these major fields provide a proper balance between those disciplines which broaden aesthetic appreciation and those which help mankind to make technical advancement. Since every endeavor is carried out within a philosophical 5 framework, our educational task is pursued from the orien- Philosophy tation of the Christian faith. It is our purpose to enable the of Education student to understand more deeply the basic principles of Christianity, both as a cultural force integral to the history of the Western World, and as a community of faith with which he may personally identify himself and in which he may find order, meaning, and direction for his own life. We realize that the educational process is never complete and that we, as teachers, can do little more than to open the doors for the rich fulfillment that comes about through a lifetime of continuing search for truth. We strive to give the necessary inspiration so that our students may have genuine respect and desire for this knowledge which makes education a lifelong process. In order to fulfill our purpose, the College provides the opportunity for the students to strive for the following accomplishments: 1. An acquaintance with the best of our intellectual and cultural heritage so that they may appropriate these values and relate them to their own experience. 2. Mastery of spoken and written English so that they will be able to express themselves intelligibly and accurately. 3. A sound historical and philosophical foundation for a Christian faith which is tested and not blindly accepted. 4. An appreciation of literature, music, art, and drama. 5. An acquaintance with the most important social, eco- nomic, political, and religious forces which have op- erated 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 of tomorrow. 6. An acquaintance with the facts and theories of science which are most vitally affecting man's thought and action. 7. A knowledge of techniques for acquiring technical in- formation and skills so that the students may function productively in the society of which they are a part. 8. A positive attitude toward athletic activities so that they may properly care for their physical development. 9. Proficiency in at least one academic discipline. LaGrange College General Information HISTORICAL SKETCH During his visit to the United States in 1824-25, General Gilbert Motier de LaFayette eame to Ceorgia. He was the last remaining general to fight on the American side in the Revolution. His official host was Ceorge M. Troup, governor of the state. So great an impression was made by the French visitor that about 50 towns and counties in the nation were named for him. In 1828, the town of LaGrange was chartered, taking its name from LaFayettes estate 40 miles outside Paris. The county was later named for Governor Troup. Founded in 1831, LaGrange Female Academy became in 1847, the LaGrange Female Institute with authority to grant degrees. In 1851, the name was changed to LaGrange Female College. In 1856, it became the property of the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The name was changed to LaGrange College in 1934, becoming officially coeducational in 1953. It is an institution of The United Methodist Church. LOCATION The town of LaGrange has a population of 25,000 in the heart of a progressive textile area. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the Chattahoo- chee River, nearing completion, will provide one of the largest lakes in the region, with waterfronts within the city limits of LaGrange. ACADEMIC STANDING As a coeducational, four-year, liberal arts college, LaGrange College is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, approved by the Methodist University Senate, and has membership in the Association of American Colleges, the American Council on Education, the National Association of Methodist Colleges, the Georgia Association of Colleges, The American Alumni Council, and the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges. The Georgia State Board of Education, which confers professional certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements in elementary or secondary education, in 1968 reaffirmed five-year (highest) approval to the professional education program of LaGrange College. 7 General Information '*r CAMPUS 1.

Students direct choirs, teach in church schools, sing in choirs, and play the piano and organ in many of the churches. Others worship regularly in the church of their choice and, in many instances, become affiliate members of the churches during their college years, although church attendance is not compulsory. Local churches cooperate with campus leadership to promote denominational interest. Many LaGrange College students serve churches during the summer by assisting in vacation church schools and young peoples organizations.

In such cases the judgment of the administrative officers is sufficient.

EARLY DECISION PLAN: Candidates who have decided by November 1 that LaGrange College is their single-choice college may apply for admission under the Early Decision Plan. This plan is for applicants who are certain they want to attend LaGrange College. The applicant is considered on the basis of his school record through the junior year and the College Board tests taken in the junior year. An applicant for early decision must attach a letter to the application stating (1) that he is applying under the Early Decision Plan and expects to have the admissions procedure completed by November 1, and (2) that LaGrange College is his only choice, that he has not applied to any other college, and that he will enroll at LaGrange if accepted.

To qualify, a student must rank in the upper one- fourth of his class, have exceptional scores on the SAT of the College Entrance Examination Board, have ten of the eleven prescribed units, and have a total of fifteen units. AN INTERVIEW IS REQUIRED OF ALL EARLY ADMISSION STUDENTS. SPECIAL TEACHING PROGRAM: This program is for applicants who are unable to qualify for regular admission to LaGrange College, but who have the potential to succeed at LaGrange College. This program has replaced the "summer-on-trial" admissions policy previously offered to such candidates. These students will participate in learning and study skill evaluation, developmental courses and will follow a program of controlled-course selection. Special ^1 tutoring will also be provided. Students in this program will Administrative enroll the fall quarter. More information is available from Regulations the Director of Admissions. TRANSFER STUDENTS: A student who has been in at- tendance at another institution may apply for transfer to La- Grange College if he is eligible to return to that institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. A student with less than a 2.0 average may be accepted on probation. All records, including transcripts of all college work attempted, must be complete before the student is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll any quarter. TRANSIENT STUDENTS: Students currently enrolled at another college and in good standing, may enroll at LaGrange College as transient students. Approval of course work must be authorized on the Application for Transient Status which is available from the Admissions Office. SPECIAL STUDENTS: Students not working toward a degree may register as special students in any course for which they have the necessary prerequisites. An application for Special Student Status may be obtained through the Admissions Office. READMISSION STUDENTS: Following an absence from LaGrange College of one or more quarters, other than the Summer Quarter, the student who decides to return must process an Application for Readmission. This form is avail- able from the Admissions Office. CREDIT-BY-EXAMINATION AND EXEMPTION COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM: Credit-by- examination for students with an atypical educational ex- perience is possible through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Persons achieving satisfactory scores on the CLEP General Examinations may qualify to receive credit and/ or exemptions. A student may request additional information from the Director of Admissions. COURSE EXEMPTION: Students having superior academic high school records may, through College Board Achievement Test and upon recommendation of a department, be exempt from certain basic courses. ADVANCED PLACEMENT: Upon request, advanced place- ment with credit toward the degree is granted to those stu- dents who take College Board Advanced Placement Examina- 32 tions and achieve scores of 4 or 5. Students with scores of 3 LaGrange may be granted advanced placement with credit, on the College recommendation of the department concerned. Up to 15 quarter hours of credit may be obtained in this way. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE The College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree. The require- ments of the degree call for a four-year program. The unit of work is the quarter hour. This means one class-meeting a week for the quarter. A course calling for five class-meetings a week for a quarter has a value of five hours. The minimum work required for graduation is 185 quarter hours and a 1.9 quality-point average overall, as well as in all course work taken at LaGrange College. To be certified as a candidate for the degree, a student must, have earned a cumulative average of 1.9 or better and completed all Gen- eral Requirements before the beginning of his final quarter. A student who fails to earn a degree in sixteen full quarters will be barred from further registration. A minimum of 15 quarter hours will meet the academic load requirements for a full-time student. The maximum full load shall be 17 quarter hours; anything beyond is considered an overload. No student will be permitted to enroll for more than 21 hours in any one quarter. Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1; F, 0. The quality-point average is computed by dividing the total quality points earned by the total hours attempted. If a student has received credit for a course and repeats that course, he receives no additional credit toward the degree. In computing the students average, hours attempted and quality points are counted on both attempts. Not more than 95 quarter hours of credit earned at a junior college will be counted toward the degree. No credit will be granted toward the degree for course work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior standing. A transfer student will not be given credit toward graduation for any D's earned elsewhere until he has validated them at LaG range College. One hour of B earned at LaGrange College will validate one hour of D, and one hour of A earned at LaGrange College will validate two hours of D. A transfer student who has not had a laboratory with his sciences must take a five-hour science course with laboratory, if he elects science to fulfill General Requirements. All students with from 75 to 90 quarter hours of credit will be required to take the General Examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The last 75 hours of credit, in a minimum of 5 quarters, must be earned in residence at LaGrange College. During his last 6 quarters and last 90 hours of resident course work, a student may, however, upon obtaining prior written approval from his academic adviser and the Academic Dean, be permitted to enroll at another four-year college for not more than one full quarter, and not more than fifteen quarter hours of course work. For the purpose of meeting the residence require- ments, credit earned in this manner will be considered as residence credit. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in this way during the last 90 hours or final 6 quarters will, how- ever, preclude the student's being granted credit for any course work taken by extension or by correspondence during the period. Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who de- sires to take course work for credit by extension or by cor- respondence must obtain prior approval in writing from his academic adviser and from the Academic Dean. Such exten- sion or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours; however, not more than 5 hours earned in this man- ner may be applied toward the fulfillment of the General Requirements of LaGrange College. Any course or courses so taken must be completed before the beginning of the stu- dent's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter. A student will not be permitted to repeat as a transient at another institution a course in which an unsatisfactory grade has been received at LaGrange College. 33 Administrative Regulations A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 45 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sopho- more if he has earned at least 45 hours of credit and fewer than 90. To be classified as a junior, a student must have earned at least 90 hours of credit and fewer than 135 hours. A student is classified as a senior upon having earned 135 hours of credit. No grade below C may be applied toward a major or minor. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: All students are required to meet the General Requirements listed below. A student should meet as many of these requirements as possible during the first two academic years. A student classified as a freshman must schedule at least 10 hours of General Requirements each quarter. Other students who have not completed General Requirements must schedule at least 5 hours each quarter until they have completed these requirements. Any exception must have prior written approval of the adviser and of the Academic Dean. Each student must select 60 quarter hours from six of the following seven areas. At least one course must be select- ed from each of the six areas chosen, and no more than 34 three may be chosen as General Requirements from any LaGrange area. After the requisite 60 hours of General Require- College ments have been met, other courses from the General Re- quirements may be elected. Courses designated by a (f) are beginning courses; a beginning course must be taken in each area chosen. I. English: 101f, 104, 106, 110, 113, 114, 116 II. Fine Arts: 110f, lllf, 112f, 113f III.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY: Pre- professional programs available at LaCrange College include the following: Dentistry Nursing Pharmacy Law Optometry Social Work Medicine Paramedicine Theology 35 Administrative Regulations 36 LaG range College The student who plans to enter a professional school upon completion of his college requirements should choose a major in accordance with normal procedure. He will encounter no difficulty in completing the work prescribed for entrance into professional studies while satisfying requirements for a bachelor of arts degree. The prospective professional student should inform his adviser of his plans in order that all pre- scribed work may be scheduled. Although it is possible for a student in some instances to fulfill certain pre-professional requirements in less than four years, most professional schools give preference to applicants who have completed requirements for a bachelor's degree. However, a student who plans to fulfill minimum require- ments for admission to a professional school must, during his enrollment at LaGrange College, satisfy the General Requirements which apply to all students. Students of outstanding ability who, after careful planning, are accepted for medical college upon completion of three years of undergraduate study may be granted the A.B. degree upon completion of the first year of medical study. This re- quires the prior approval of the Academic Dean of LaGrange College and completion of all General Requirements for the A.B. degree. GRADES AND CREDITS The definitions of grades given at LaCrange College are as follows: A superior B above average C average D below average F failing E temporary conditional grade. A student who has an E has the privilege of re-examination. The final grade can be no higher than a D. I incomplete. This grade is assigned in case a student is doing satisfactory work but for some reason be- yond his control has been unable to complete the work during that quarter. This deferment must be given written approval in advance by the instructor and the Academic Dean. W withdrawn passing. Normally, a grade of W will not be assigned after mid-term. WF withdrawn failing. The grade of WF is included in computation of grade point average. o~ PF penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of Administrative honor and is computed in grade point average. i , A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis for which he pays full tuition. If the student desires to have a grade assigned, he must take all examinations. A student may audit a course by paying the audit fee. All requests for audit courses must be approved in writing by the instructor and Academic Dean. No new freshman stu- dent may audit any course during the first quarter of resi- dence at LaGrange College. E's and I's are temporary grades. Normally, they must be removed by the date indicated in the Academic Calendar. Failure to remove an E or an I by the date set automatically makes the grade an F. Grades other than E and I, once submitted, may not be changed by an instructor except with the formal approval of the Academic Advisory Council, within the next quarter. Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quarter. Formal reports of grades are also issued at the same time. Grades and transcripts are withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to the College. J Academic Procedures REGISTRATION AND ACADEMIC ADVISERS All students must register in advance on the dates specified in the Academic Calendar. Failure to register on the proper dates will subject the student to a $10 late-registration fee. All registration procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Academic Dean. Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who continues to serve until General Requirements are met and/or a major has been formally declared. Faculty advisers assist the student in planning an academic program, but the ultimate responsibility of meeting all requirements rests with the individual student. Advisers are available for additional counseling. 39 i i i i 1 1 . r i Academic A student interested in a particular major should inform his Procedt res general adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be scheduled. A major may be formally de- clared at any time after the student has earned 45 hours of credit. The student must declare his major in writing to the Academic Dean by the time he has earned 90 quarter hours of credit. The student will then be assigned to an advis- er in the department in which he will major. A student plan- ning to pursue a program in Teacher Education should make application in writing to the head of the Depart- ment of Education at the time he declares his major. WITHDRAWAL A student who wishes to withdraw from any course should confer with the Academic Dean. Failure of a student to with- draw from a course formally and officially through the office of the Academic Dean normally will result in the assignment of a WF. Failure of a student to withdraw officially from the College normally will result in the assignment of WF's for all courses for which he is registered. A student who wishes to withdraw from the College should also confer with the Dean of Students. ACADEMIC PROBATION REGULATIONS When the quality of a student's academic work is such that there is a danger he will not be able to attain the average re- quired for graduation, he should be warned of his situation. This is the purpose of probation. It is not a penalty, but it is a warning. A student on probation and the parents of the stu- dent shall be notified and shall have their attention called to the regulations governing probation. Any student who fails to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average at the end of any quarter for which he is enrolled will be placed on Academic Probation. The student then has three full quarters in which to achieve a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average. Any student who fails to do so will be excluded. Transfer students with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average are admitted on probation and are subject to these probation regulations. A student will be excluded for failing to pass any academic work in a quarter or failing to earn a degree in sixteen full quarters. A student excluded for academic reasons may be ineligible for readmission to LaGrange College. In the case of part-time students, the extent of ap- plication of these regulations will be at the discretion of the Academic Dean. Normally a student will not be removed from probation upon the basis of less than a fifteen hour ^ academic load. LaGrange College ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS A student is expected to attend all classes, including labs, for all courses for which he is registered. The student is solely responsible for accounting to his instructor for any absence. An instructor may recommend action by the Absence Com- mittee and the Academic Dean to drop from class with a grade of W or WF any student whose absences are interfering with satisfactory performance in the course. All students registered for as much as ten hours of work are required to attend convocations and assemblies. Exception may be made quarterly by the Dean of Students only in case of hardship upon students whose outside work might interfere with attendance. When a student has been absent from assembly one time during a quarter, he will be allowed no further assembly absences during that quarter; if he is absent more than one time during a quarter, he will be allowed no assembly absences during his next quarter of attendance. Continued absences from assembly will result in exclusion from LaGrange College. A graduating senior is not exempt from assembly attendance. ACCELERATION Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete requirements in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished by attending summer schools and/or by taking an academic overload. Permission to take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those students who have earned at least an average of B (3.0) for the pre- ceding quarter, except that a student may take an overload during one quarter of his senior year without respect to grade- point average.
