PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The growing generation seeks answers to issues
that, from their point of view, the older generations
has not properly managed. The more patient among
the experienced generation recognize that the
achievement of an understanding requires an
interplay of ideas, a knowledge of history, the
testimony of literature and philosophy, the assess-
ment of political, social, and economic structures,
a recognition of the role of the sciences, a study of
society, an investigation of the human mind, the
expression of peoples through language, and an
assessment of man as a spiritual being. In short, a
liberal education is the key to man's understanding
of the world of nature and the world of beings.
The problems are complex. No simple answers
are available. That the accumulation of knowledge
has not resulted in a harmonious relationship be-
tween man and man, and man and nature, is not
an indictment of knowledge. It is an indictment of
man.
The solutions that youth seek, therefore, demand
integrity and purpose. Through these harmony may
be achieved. A worthy college makes a serious
effort to help in the achievement. We are dedicated
to this effort. Join us.
Sincerely, /?
Weights G. Henry, Jr. *
President
GEORGIA S OLDEST INDFPEM N
Philosophy of Education
at LaGrange College
The dynamic of modern life is change. Survival for the
individual psychological, social, and economic demands
adaptability to life patterns which are altering so rapidly as
to be obsolete by the time they become familiar. The insti-
tutions of higher learning which hope to contribute to the
preparing of human beings to meet successfully the chal-
lenges and the ordeals of a change-oriented society must
necessarily be directed toward flexibility and bold experi-
ment.
LaGrange College, a church-related Liberal Arts college,
reaffirms its commitment to the concept of education based
on a proven heritage of knowledge and wisdom of the past
and based on the values of an active Christianity. It recog-
nizes also the necessity for revitalizing these bases to meet
present-day needs, on the local, state, and national level.
The college must be the diagnostic center of society; it must
examine, criticize, draw tentative, not dogmatic, conclusions.
It must be the creative center of society as well, finding new
directions, both human and technological. It must prepare
the student to earn his living in a highly technological society;
more important, it must equip him with the tools of learning
for adjustment to new situations which cannot even with
exactness be predicted, rather than merely endowing him
with a set of fixed and final notions. In the increasingly
technological and dehumanized society, it must preserve the
concept of the significance of the individual human being.
LaGrange College believes that as a Christian Liberal Arts
college, it can most successfully achieve these aims through
an application of the principles of its commitment in a
program designed to experiment boldly with new techniques
of student involvement in the learning process, new methods
of evaluation of individual students' achievements prior to
the college level, new approaches to curricula, and new
programs which go beyond the conventional areas hallowed
by the sanction of time as the rigid limit of the liberal arts
college. Our aim is to prepare the student in the most effec-
tive program possible for assuring that he is "at home" in
any environment, however alien, with a security based on a
sense of constancy in the midst of change.

General Information
HISTORICAL SKETCH
During his visit to the United States in 1824-25, Major General
Gilbert Motier de LaFayette came to Georgia. The last living
member of General George Washington's staff, he was
greeted in Savannah by Governor George M. Troup. So great
was the impression of the visitor upon the nation that some
fifty towns and counties were named for him. In 1828, at the
suggestion of Julius C. Alford, the town of LaGrange,
Georgia, was chartered in his honor. The county was 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.
6
LaGrange LOCATION
College 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, the Georgia
Foundation for Independent Colleges, and the Association of
Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia. The Georgia
State Board of Education, which confers professional certifi-
cates upon college graduates meeting requirements in
elementary or secondary education, has awarded five-year
(highest) approval to LaGrange College's program of teacher
education. Approval has been granted by the Georgia Board
of Examiners for nurses to initiate a training program for
nurses on the Associate Degree level.
Approval has been granted by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools to initiate a program offering the
Master of Education degree.

Student Affairs
LaGrange College students are provided with excellent
opportunity for participation in a variety of student organi-
zations. They may serve the college community and find full,
happy and rewarding experiences as well. Campus activities
outside the classroom are educational and help to develop
qualities of a mature person: initiative, self-reliance, sense of
responsibility, versatility, capacity for independent thought
and action, and ability to work constructively with others.
ATHLETICS
The College is a member of the Georgia Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference and of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics. The G.I.A.C. sponsors intercol-
legiate competition in basketball, baseball, tennis, golf,
cross-country, track, volleyball, and bowling. The College
has teams in basketball and tennis. The College has a program 11
of intramural sports in which all students are encouraged Student
to participate. Affairs
RELIGIOUS LIFE
Students find opportunities for religious worship and service
in a manner afforded by few college communities. The
Baptist, Catholic, Church of Christ, Episcopal, Methodist,
and Presbyterian 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 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 people's organizations.
Sunday worship service is held in the Chapel especially for
LaGrange College students.
12
Important events in the life of the campus are the Arthur H.
Thompson lectures and Religious Emphasis Week. The Arthur
H. Thompson Lecture Series brings to the campus scholars
from many different fields of knowledge. Religious Emphasis
Week is conducted by a minister.
ENDOWED LECTURESHIPS
THE ARTHUR H. THOMPSON LECTURESHIP brings
to the campus each year noted scholars to address the faculty
and student body on the interrelationship of a field of
knowledge and the Christian religion. The endowment was
established by Mrs. Mary Will Thompson, alumna, in
memory of her husband, who was at one time chairman of
the Roard of Trustees of the College. He expressed his phi-
losophy in the statement: "The greatest thing in life is the
simple faith of an honest man."
THE JENNIE LEE EPPS LECTURESHIP brings to the
campus each year noted scholars to address the faculty and
student body in the field of English. The endowment was
established by Miss Kate Howard Cross, former professor
of Latin at LaGrange College, in loving memory of her friend
and colleague, Dr. Jennie Lee Epps, who was professor of
LaGrange English at LaGrange College for 28 years.
College
THE A. S. MITCHELL LECTURESHIP, established by
the Mitchell Foundation, Inc., brings lecturers to the campus
for assembly programs.
THE ERNESTINE MAY DEMPSEY LECTURESHIP was
provided by alumna LaVerne Garrett in memory of her
former English professor who taught at LaGrange College,
1908-1914.
THE ERNEST AUBREY BAILEY LECTURESHIP honors
the memory of the Academic Dean who served LaGrange
College from 1922 to 1959. The fund was established by
Mrs. Bailey and their daughter, Mrs. William F. Corley.
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
In order that cultural activities may be a part of their daily
lives, LaGrange College students are given an opportunity
to hear fine music, both vocal and instrumental, to see good
art, and to enjoy the best in dramatic presentations and
lectures. Moreover, they have the opportunity to participate
in music programs, to produce original art, and to take part
in dramatic productions.
Those interested in the theatre will enjoy the Summer Theatre
Repertory conducted by the Speech and Drama Department.
Students enrolled in this course produce comedies in reper-
tory at Callaway Gardens.
Visiting artists and lecturers are brought to the community
annually. The Division of Fine Arts each year sponsors
programs and activities focusing attention on drama, music,
and visual arts. LaGrange College student performances also
are of such quality that the students perform both in La-
Grange and in other communities. The students may avail
themselves of cultural opportunities in Atlanta and Columbus.
ASSEMBLY ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
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 inter-
fere 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
13
Student
attendance. Affair
HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
LaGrange College is a residential college. Men and women
students may move off campus at the beginning of the
quarter after their twenty-first birthday, or at the beginning
of the first quarter of their senior year. Unmarried students
under twenty-one years of age live on campus except for those
living with relatives.
Students occupying single rooms pay extra per quarter
depending on the dormitory in which they reside. Exception
is made only if, due to an unequal number of students, there
is no roommate available.
No pets are allowed in the dormitory at any time.
Married students are expected to make their own housing
arrangements. A few unfurnished apartments are available
to married students at an unusually low cost. These are brick
buildings located within two miles of the College. The Dean
of Students' office keeps a list of available housing.
MEDICAL CARE
Under the Student Health Program students are provided
care by a registered nurse in the student infirmary. The nurse
is on duty from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
and for emergency calls between these hours. The nurse
assists the students in securing a physician if needed. The
services of the nurse and the use of the infirmary are avail-
able to dormitory students only.
Charges for X-rays, prescriptions, hospital charges and fees
of physicians or surgeons to whom a student is referred are
the responsibility of the student. Private nurses and personal
physicians must be paid for by the student.
An optional group accident and sickness insurance plan is
available to all full-time students. The annual premium
covers a calendar year, including holidays and summer
vacation.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
14
LaGrange Responsibility for maintenance of high standards and hon-
orable conduct in academic matters and social activities is
entrusted to students in cooperation with the faculty and
administration of the College.
LaGrange College students are expected at all times to con-
duct themselves as ladies and gentlemen in their actions,
manners, and dress so as to reflect the high standards and
ideals of the College. To this end each student, upon enroll-
ment at LaGrange College, signs the following pledge:
In recognition of the obligations and privileges of mem-
bership in the student body of LaGrange College, I
hereby agree to obey all rules and regulations of the
College; to respect and to cooperate with its constituted
authorities; to conduct myself honorably; and at all times
to live in such a manner as to reflect credit upon myself,
my family, and the College. I realize that failure to com-
ply with this pledge subjects trie to disciplinary action.
A student whose conduct indicates that he or she is not in
sympathy with the ideals and standards of the College or
who seems unable to profit from its program may lie asked
to withdraw. In such cases the judgment of the administrative
officers is sufficient.
College
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Matters pertaining to the Student Government and student
affairs are under the general direction of the Dean of Stu-
dents and the Student Affairs Committee. Each LaGrange
College student participates in the election of student officers.
The Student Government Association has three branches.
An executive council, under the direction of officers elected
by campus-wide balloting, coordinates and regulates all
student activities on the campus. A legislative council makes
the rules which regulate the democratic living of LaGrange
College students. The judicial council may try cases involving
dishonesty and serious misbehavior.
STUDENT CONDUCT
LaGrange College has high standards of conduct. Drinking,
lying, cheating, and stealing are not countenanced. In of-
fenses involving issues of honor, the Judicial Council of the
Student Government Association shall determine involve-
ment; the Judicial Council's recommendations on the above
issues are, in all instances, referred to the President of the
College for review. The President, who has final responsi-
bility in the dismissal of students, shall concur in, revise, or
reverse the recommendations of the Judicial Council.
The possession or consumption on the LaGrange College
campus of any type of alcoholic beverage, drugs, or other
intoxicant is forbidden. The College does not condone the use
of intoxicants or drugs off campus, or at any off-campus
activities of student social organizations. The failure on the
part of the members of such an organization, or any of its
guests, in any of its activities, duly to observe this principle
can result in disciplinary action against the organization,
as well as its individual members or student-guests.
Where the offense is one of serious social misconduct, the
Dean of Students has the authority for disciplinary action.
When there are infractions of standards of integrity in the
academic area, the Academic Dean has authority in dismissal.
ORIENTATION AND COUNSELING
All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through
an orientation program which takes place at the beginning
of each quarter. The orientation program is designed to
15
Student
Affairs
16
luaGrange
College
acquaint the new students with various phases of the life of
the College, including traditions, procedures, and regulations.
It is believed that all students will profit from a proper
introduction to the opportunities and responsibilities of
college life. Throughout their residence at LaGrange College,
students may secure ready counseling service in personal
matters from faculty advisers, the Director of Student
Counseling, the Dean of Students, the Academic Dean, or
the President.
SOCIAL LIFE
Realizing that every well balanced life demands both recog-
nition and participation, LaGrange College offers oppor-
tunities for many social contacts. Fraternities and sororities
are maintained on a national basis. The social life of the
campus is conducted largely by the fraternities and sororities.
There are three national fraternities: Delta Tau Delta, Kappa
Sigma, and Pi Kappa Phi.
There are three national sororities: Alpha Omicron Pi,
Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu. The Greek Council and National
Panhellenic Council supervise and promote cooperation
among these social groups.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
Each senior is requested to complete materials for a dossier
and upon request a copy of this dossier is supplied to graduate
schools or prospective employers. Throughout the academic-
year, conferences are scheduled and interviews with visiting
recruiters are arranged.
ORGANIZATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS
THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION, based
on the authority granted by the College Administration,
exists to serve as a medium for student expression, to coordi-
nate campus activities, to promote better citizenship, to
cooperate with the community, to uphold the Code of Honor,
and to serve LaGrange College. As a service organization,
the drafting, printing, and enforcement of student rules and
regulations are a primary responsibility of the Student
Government Association. Although office-holding in the
Student Government Association is restricted by specified
scholastic standards, as a democratic organization the Stu-
dent Government Association includes all members of the
student body.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS The Men's and Women's
Athletic Associations formulate rules of eligibility for intra-
mural teams and seek to promote physical development,
good sportsmanship, and interest in sports among men and
women students. The mens and women's physical education

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

creasing number of high school students beginning their R >a j t'
twelfth grade who need only one or two academic units to
graduate and who very often become bored for lack of a
sufficient challenge, LaGrange College has adopted a
policy for Joint Enrollment at both LaGrange College and
the student's high school. To qualify, a student must have
a B+ or better high school average in his academic courses
and a minimum score on the College Board SAT of 1050
combined or a composite score of 25 on the ACT. A minimum
of 500 on the Verbal SAT or a minimum of 24 in the English
subject area of the ACT is desirable.
FALL-QUARTER-ON-TRIAL PROGRAM: This program is
for applicants who are unable to qualify for regular ad-
mission to LaGrange College, but who have the potential
to succeed. The program has replaced the "summer-on-trial"
admissions previously offered to such candidates. These
students participate in learning and study-skill evaluation
and developmental courses, with controlled course selection.
Students in this program must begin fall quarter. Further
information is available from the Director of Admissions.
TRANSFER STUDENTS: A student who has been in at-
tendance at another institution may apply for transfer to
LaGrange College if he is eligible to return to that institution
at the time of entry to LaGrange College. Normally transfer
students who have the A. A. Degree or an equivalent degree
from an accredited junior college will be exempt from all
LaGrange College General Requirements. 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 La-
Grange 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
^, n process an Application for Readmission. This form is avail-
able from the Admissions Office.
CREDIT-BY-EXAMINATION AND EXEMPTION
Persons with atypical educational experience may be eligible
for credit and/or exemption in certain areas, through the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College
Entrance Examination Roard. As much as 50 hours of credit
and/or exemption may be obtained in this way. Further
information may be obtained from the Director of Ad-
missions.

cation. One activity course in Physical Education, up to a
maximum of 5, will be waived for each two months served in
the Armed Forces; a corresponding reduction will be made
in the total number of hours required for the degree.
DEGREES OFFERED
LaGrange College offers the following degrees: Bachelor of
Arts, Associate in Arts in Nursing, and Master of Education.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE A.B. DEGREE
The requirements for the Bachelor of Arts 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 quarter 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 33
will be denied further registration. Administrative
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 towards the degree.
In computing the student's 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
LaGrange College. One hour of B earned at LaGrange Col-
lege will validate one hour of D, and one hour of A earned
at LaGrange College will validate two hours of D. A transfer
Regulations
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.
The last 60 hours of credit, in a minimum of 4 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 ap-
proval 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 resi-
dence requirements, 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, however, preclude the student's being granted
Credit for any course work taken by extension or by corre-
spondence during the period.
Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who de-
sires to take course work for credit by extension or by
correspondence must obtain prior approval in writing from
his academic adviser and from the Academic Dean. Such
34 extension or correspondence credit may in no case exceed
LaGrange 10 hours; however, not more than 5 hours earned in this
College manner 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
student's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter.
Normally a student will not be permitted to repeat as a
transient at another institution a course in which an unsatis-
factory grade has been received at LaGrange College.
A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer
than 45 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sophomore
if he has earned at least 45 hours of credit and fewer than
90. To be classed 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 in any course above 100-level may be
applied toward a major.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE:
All students are required to meet the General Requirements listed below.
(Normally transfer students who have the A. A. Degree or an equivalent
degree from an accredited junior college will be exempt from all
LaGrange College General Requirements.) A student should complete
as many of the 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 selected from each of the six
areas chosen, and no more than three may be chosen as General Re-
quirements from any area. After the requisite 60 hours of General
Requirements have been met, other courses from the General Require-
ments may be elected. Courses designated by a (f) are beginning
courses; a beginning course must be taken in each area chosen.
Beginning with the entering class for Fall, 1973, successful completion
of a course in basic English skills (Eng 101) by the end of the sophomore
year will be required of all students seeking a Bachelor's degree from
LaGrange College. Students will receive 5 quarter hours of credit for
successful completion, but this credit may not be used to satisfy any
part of the 60 quarter hour General Requirements of the College.
This course may be exempted only by those students who have scored
500 or above on the verbal component of the SAT examination or its
equivalent and have written an essay acceptable to the Examining
Committee of the College.
Transfer students will be advised of the application or non-application
of this requirement to their particular situation.

are not designated, but they must be approved by the head
of the department of the minor.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY: Pre-
professional programs available at LaGrange College include
the following:
Dentistry
Pharmacy
Law
Optometry
Medicine
Theology
Paramedicine
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
baehelor 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.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE A.A. DEGREE
IN NURSING
The requirements for the Associate in Arts in Nursing
degree call for a two-year program. The work unit, the
number of quarter hours, and the number of class meetings
per week are the same as required for the A.B. degree. The
minimum number of quarter hours required for the com-
pletion of this degree is 100. The following course pattern

GRADES AND CREDITS
The definitions of grades given at LaGrange College are as
follows:
A superior
B above average
C average
D below average
F failing
I incomplete. This grade is assigned in case a student is
doing satisfactory work but for some reason beyond
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 midquarter.
WF withdrawn failing. The grade of WF is indicated in
computation of grade point average.
PF penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of
honor and is computed in grade point average.
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 fulfill all course requirements.
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
residence at LaGrange College.
An I is a temporary grade. Normally it must be removed by
the date indicated in the Academic Calendar. Failure to
remove an I by the date set automatically makes the grade
an F. A grade other than 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.
I
Academic
Procedures
REGISTRATION AND ACADEMIC ADVISERS
All students must register in advance on the dates specified.
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.
A student interested in a particular major should inform his
general adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for 41
the major may be scheduled. A major may be formally de- Academic
clared at any time after the student has earned 30 hours of Procedures
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 must
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. Normally a student who withdraws after midquarter
will not be assigned a W. Failure of a student to withdraw
officially from the College normally will result in the assign-
ment of WF's for all courses for which he is registered.
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College must
confer with the Dean of Students, the Director of Counseling
Services, and the Academic Dean.
ACADEMIC PROBATION REGULATIONS
Students are placed on academic probation when the quality
of work is such that progress toward graduation is in jeop-
ardy. The purpose of probation is warning; it is not penalty.
Students on probation and their parents shall be notified
and the regulations governing probation shall be called to
their attention.
Students in the freshman class (fewer than 45 quarter hours
of credit) who fail to maintain a 1.3 cumulative grade-point
average at the end of any quarter for which they are enrolled
will be placed on academic probation. For sophomores (fewer
than 90 quarter hours of credit) a 1.65 cumulative grade-
point average is required; for juniors (fewer than 135 quarter
hours) and seniors (135 quarter hours and beyond) a 2.0
cumulative grade-point average is required. In all cases,
students have three quarters to remove their probationary
status. Failure to do so in three quarters makes these students
subject to exclusion.
Students are also subject to exclusion for failure to earn at
least five quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or
for other valid academic reasons. In the case of part-time
4 ^ students, the extent of application of these regulations will
LaGrange ^ e at t ^ e dj scret j on f the Academic Dean. Normally, all
College applications of the regulations will be based upon a fifteen
quarter-hour academic load.
CLASS 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 Committee and the Academic Dean to drop from
class with a grade of W or WF any student whose absences

NURSING
PROFESSOR IIOGAN
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR HART
The purpose of the Associate Degree Program in Nursing is
to prepare men and women in a collegiate program for careers
in nursing. The graduate is prepared to function at the staff
nurse level in hospitals, clinics, and other health care agencies.
Upon successful completion of the State Board Examinations
the graduate becomes a registered nurse. He may seek employ-
ment, continue in nursing education at another college or
university, or complete the requirements for a Baccalaureate
Degree in another area of study at LaGrange College.
The program functions within the general policies of the
College. Opportunity to pursue the nursing program is offered
to applicants meeting the requirements of both the College and
the nursing program. In addition to other forms the applicant
must submit a birth certificate, physical and dental examination
forms, and two recommendations from former instructors. In
the case of the older applicant recommendations from former
employers are acceptable. A personal interview with a member
of the nursing faculty is required.
The program begins in the fall quarter, and nursing courses
are taught in sequence. Requirements for graduation are com-
pletion of the curriculum as outlined with a minimum grade of
"C" in each nursing course, and an overall quality point average
of 1.9 or above.
In addition to the fees listed elsewhere the nursing student
will need to provide for transportation to the clinical areas, pur-
chase uniforms and accessories (approximately $100.00), and
purchase books.
