It was the first school for women chartered by the State of Georgia 
(Dec. 26. 1831) 

The only schools in the state offering education to young men at 
the same time were the University of Georgia and the Medical 
College of Georgia. 

It remained in operation throughout the War Between the States. 
Its doors have never closed. 
Its first bachelor's degree was conferred in 1846. 
As early as 1881-1882 the Masterof Arts degree was offered fortwo 
years of study after the Bachelor of Arts degree had been 
conferred. 

The College was a private school until sold as the LaGrange 
Female College to the Georgia Conference of the Methodist 
Church in 1856. In 1866, when the North and South Georgia 
Conferences were created by the General Conference, LaGrange 
Female College became the property of the North Georgia Confer- 
ence only. 

In Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell told that Aunt Pittipat 
and her friend, Miss Tomlinson, attended LaGrange. (p. 560) 
In 1953, after 122 years as a school for young women, LaGrange 
College became coeducational, and is today one of the stronger 
liberal arts colleges in the Southeast. 

As a part of its offerings to enhance career and professional 
education the College emphasizes the fine arts. It enjoys one of the 
most excellent campus theatres in America and an unexcelled 
college art center, unmatched at any undergraduate school in the 
State. 



LaGrange College is celebrating its sesquicentennial. When La- 
Grange was founded in 1831 , there were only 24 states in the union; 
Andrew Jackson was President of the U. S. A.; Napoleon had only 
been dead 10 years; Abraham Lincoln was 22 years old; Robert E. Lee 
was 24 years old; General Sherman was 11 years old. 

LaGrange College has survived four wars and three fires, yet offers 
a way of life today.

LaGrange College Bulletin 1851 

Mode of Discipline 
Moral suasion is the rod used in the Institute, which is never 
departed from while there is any hope of reform by this means; but 
when this fails; severer measures are resorted to. 





LaGrange College Bulletin 1851 

The whole school are exercised twice a day in the various steps and 
manipulations; all of which are directed and harmonized, by the 
music of the Violin. Tis not dancing, and yet it accomplishes all the 
good that dancing proposes, without incurring any of the evils of that 
entertainment.

Facilities 

This institution has reached a point of eminence far beyond the 
most distant hopes of its warmest friends. It has done so, too, against 
as many disadvantages as ever clogged the wheels of any enterprise. 
But we are happy in being able to announce to the public that our 
facilities are now complete. Our friends have charged us with folly for 
expending so large a sum in so precarious an enterprise. But we 
disregard what a censorious world may say, if, commensurate with 
the surpassing facilities and accommodations which we tender, we 
receive the patronage of the public. We have had no higher ambition 
togratify than simply to afford all necessary assistance toourpupils in 
their pursuit of knowledge.

sonal motivation, have indicated their ability and desire to undertake a 
college program, and who recognize and accept the purpose and objec- 
tives of the College;

provide leadership in teaching-learning experiences, and who serve as 
scholarly models forstudentdevelopmentthrough intellectual and cultural

maximum intellectual development, and which will broaden outlooks on 
life; 

 to help each student to know himself, and to develop as a physically 
healthy and emotionally, socially, and spiritually mature person; 

 to emphasize undergraduate liberal education foremost, but also to 
offer within the liberal arts context certain compatible professional and 
pre-professional curricula, and to offer graduate studies at the master's 
levelto meetspecial needswithinthe limitsof the resourcesof the College; 

 to lead in the academic inquiry into various facets of contemporary 
society and to exert a constructive influence in the community through 
intellectual, cultural, and social leadership by offering educational oppor-

participation in community affairs; 

 to promote growth in resources at a rate which will preserve the 
economic well-being of the College, support existing educational pro- 
grams, facilitate changes in programs to meet changing needs, and sustain 
improvement in quality. 

LaGrange College seeks to attain these objectives for all who aspire to a 
college education and admits students of any race, color, creed, sex, or 
national and ethnic origin, and grants to each student all the rights, 
privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available

tivities.

GEORGIA'S OLDEST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL 



6 LaG range College 

General Information 
Historical Sketch 

During his visit to the United States in 182425, Major General Gilbert du 
Motier, Marquis 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 and named for his estate, the Chateau de LaGrange. 
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 Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
South, and later the North Georgia Conference. 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 28,000 in the heart of a 
progressive industrial area. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm 
Springs Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The 
West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest 
lakes in the region, with waterfronts and marina 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 
National Association of Independent Colleges and universities, the National 
Association of Methodist Colleges, the Goergia 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 
certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements in elementary or 
secondary education, has awarded highest approval to LaGrange College's 
program of teacher education. 

The National League for Nursing, the officially recognized agency for 
associate degree nursing programs by the Council on Postsecondary 
Accreditation, has awarded (highest) accreditation to LaGrange College's 
nursing program.

Student Life 

LaGrange College students are provided with an excellent opportunity 
for participation in a variety of student organizations. 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 construc- 
tively with others. 



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 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. 

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 
LaGrange and in other communities. The students also may avail them- 
selves of cultural opportunities in Atlanta and Columbus. 



Endowed Lectureships 

The Arthur H. Thompson Lectureship brings to the campus each year 
noted scholars to address the faculty and student body on the interrelation- 
ship 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 Board of Trustees of the 
College. He expressed his philosophy 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 English at LaGrange College for 
28 years. 

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 La 
Verne Garrett in memory of her former English professor who taught at 
LaGrange College, 19081914. 

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. 



Student Life 9 

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 twnety-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. 

Religious Organizations 

Pi Tau Chi is a national honorary religious fraternity. Membership is 
extended to students majoring or minoring in Religion who have at least six 
courses in the Department and have at least a 3.0 grade point average. 

The Wesley Fellowship, composed of Methodist students, and The 
Baptist Student Union, composed of Baptist students, serve as a link 
between these students and their churches. 

The Inter-Faith Council, composed of representatives from various 
campus religious organizations, has a three-fold purpose: (1 ) to encourage 
students to participate in the religious organizations which represent their 
respective faiths; (2) to coordinate the activities of the several religious 
organizations on campus; and (3) to sponsor such religious activities as 
well be of common benefit to all students. 

Chi Epsilon is an organization for students planning to go into full-time 
Christian service. 

Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship is an organization on campus com- 
posed of students from various religious denominations. It serves the 
College campus by attempting to help the student become a more fully 
developed individual through evangelism, discipleship, missions, prayer, 
and Christian fellowship. 



Athletics 

The College is a member of the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- 
ence and of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The 
College sponsors intercollegiate competition in basketball, tennis, golf, 
trace, and women's volleyball. Fall 1981 marks the beginning of extramural 
club soccer. The College also has a program of intramural sports in which 
all students are encouraged to participate. 

Student Activities 

Student activities at LaGrange are designed with a wide range of student 
interests in mind. LaGrange College supports extracurricular activities, 
believing that in order for a student to have a well-rounded education he 



10 LaG range College 

must have opportunities for self-expression, growth, and development of a 
spirit of service and leadership. Through the cooperative efforts of the 
Student Development Office and the Student Government Association, 
students find these opportunities. 

The student entertainment program functions basically under the Execu- 
tive Council of SGA and schedules concerts, movies, dances and special 
events. 

There are four national social sororities: Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa Delta, 
Phi Mu, and Zeta Phi Beta. There are three national social fraternities: Delta 
Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, and Pi Kappa Phi. 

Honorary Organizations

society. Membership is extended to students having at least two grades of A 
and a third grade of at least B in unrepeated college foreign language 
courses.

honorary fraternity. Membership is extended to advanced students in the 
social science disciplines of history, sociology, political science, 
economics, and geography.

Mathematics Division. Membership is limited to those students who have 
taken at least four courses in science and mathematics. 

Omicron Delta Kappa, National Leadership Honor Society, was chartered 
on the LaGrange College Campus in November 1979. Its members are junior 
and senior students of exemplary character, responsible leadership, and 
superior scholarship. 

Psychology Honor Society is a local honor society which recognizes 
students who have attained at least an overall B average as well as a B 
average in 15 hours of psychology. 

Student Responsibility 

Responsibility for maintenance of high standards and honorable 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 conduct them- 
selves as ladies and gentlemen in their actions, manners, and dress to 
reflect the high standards and ideals of the College. To this end each 
student, upon enrollment at LaGrange College, signs the following pledge: 

In recognition of the obligations and privileges of membership 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 comply with this 
pledge subjects me to disciplinary action. 



Student Life 1 1 

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 be asked to withdraw. In such cases the judgment of the 
administrative officers is sufficient. 

Student Conduct 

LaGrange College has high standards of conduct. Cheating, plagiarism, 
stealing, lying to a college official, and all other forms of dishonesty, 
vandalism, violence or threats of violence, or disruptive behavior are not 
countenanced. 

The possession or consumption on the LaGrange College campus of any 
type of alcoholic beverage is prohibited. Drunkenness or the possession or 
use of any type of illegal drug on or off campus is a violation of college 
discipline. The college does not condone the use of alcohol off campus, or 
at any off-campus activities of student social organizations. The failure on 
the part of members of such organizations, or any of its guests, in any of its 
activities, duly to observe this principle may result in disciplinary action 
against the organization, as well as its individual members or student- 
guests. 

Being the guest in the Residence Hall room of a student of the opposite 
sex or entertaining guests of the opposite sex in one's Residence Hall room 
without college authorization is a violation of college discipline. 

Failure to comply with a college officials request which is reasonable and 
in harmony with college policy also violates college discipline. 

The Student Government Association, based on the authority granted by 
the College Administration, exists to serve as a medium for student 
expressions, to coordinate campus activities, to promote better citizenship, 
to cooperate with the community, 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 Govern- 
ment Association. Although office-holding in the Student Government 
Association is restricted by specified scholastic standards, as a democratic 
organization, the Student Government Association includes all members of 
the student body. 

Matters pertaining to the Student Government and student affairs are 
under the general direction of the Dean of Student Development. 

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 serve as an appeals board.

difficulties, and adjusting to the inadequacies in pre-college preparation. 
To help students at LaGrange College face these issues in an organized 
way, Freshman Seminar is taught. This one hour course provides an 
opportunity for freshmen to work with faculty and other students in the 
consideration of issues designed to assist them in making decisions and in 
dealing with the many interrelated problems that have a bearing on their 
academic career.

appealed by a student, it must be done in writing within twenty-four hours 
after receipt of the original decision. 

(b) Other grievances in the area of student life may be appealed to the Dean 
of Student Development. If the grievance involves an original decision 
rendered by the Dean of Student Development, the decision may be

Admissions 

It is the aim of LaGrange College to admit those students who dem- 
onstrate that they can benefit from a liberal arts education. In the selection 
of students, careful attention is given to the academic ability, character, 
health, and personality of each candidate. 

Procedure for Applying for Admission 

An application for admission should be submitted when the student 
decides he would like to attend LaGrange College. The application should 
be completed at least one month prior to the beginning of the quarter in 
which the entrance is desired. Applicants may enroll any quarter.

tory completion of work in progress. LaGrange College must receive 
notification of successful completion of such work before acceptance is 
final. 

For dormitory students, a Health Form and a $50.00 Key-Damage fee are 
required. The Room Key-Damage fee is refundable if the student withdraws

Students interested in LaGrange College are invited to visit the campus 
and may schedule an appointment by contacting the Admissions Office. 
The telephone number is 404-882-2911.

beginning of the quarter after their twenty-first birthday or at the beginning 
of the first quarter of their senior year. There are no housing facilities on 
campus for married couples. 

Students occupying single rooms pay extra per quarter depending on the 
residence hall in which they reside. Exception is made only if, due to an 
unequal number of students, there is no roommate available.

within the areas of English, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. The 
following subjects are required or recommended.

the potential to succeed. All courses taken are for full credit. Students in this 
program must earn a grade point average of 1 .0 during the first quarter or in 
the first 15 hours of college work. Further information is available from the 
Director of Admissions.

institution may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he is eligible to 
return to that institution atthe time of entry to LaGrange College. Normally,

one or more quarters, other than the Summer Quarter, any student who

through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and other recog- 
nized testing procedures. Advanced placement test results are accepted in 
specific departments. 



Credit through United States Armed Forces Institute 
and Service Schools 

Courses taken through The United States Armed Forces Institute and 
other recognized military educational programs are accepted in accor- 
dance with the policy governing transfer work when presented on official 
transcripts from accredited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective

pondence courses and military service school courses as recommended by 
the American Council on Education. One activity course in Physical 
Education, up to a maximum of 3, 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.

intended to acquaint LaGrange College students with a broad spectrum of 
ideas from the many disciplines. Included in the Forum are such various

Programs of study leading to the Associate of Arts degree are designed to 
meet the needs of these persons: (1) students who at present do not see a

achievable in a shorter period of time, is a part of their career orientation; (3) 
mature people who desire college-level work for life fulfillment and need 
definite objectives as motivation; and (4) any employed person who seeks 
specific learning opportunities for career advancement. 

A 2.0 qualifying point average overall, as well as in course work taken at 
LaGrange College, is required for graduation. To be eligible for the degree, 
a student must have earned a cumulative average of 2.0 or better.

A.A. Degree in Radiologic Technology 

Radiologist Director of School of Radiologic Technology, J. T. Mitchell, 
M.D. Technical Director of School of Radiologic Technology, Sandra Hood, 
R.T. 

The purpose of the Associate Degree Program in Radiologic Technology 
is to prepare an individual for a career in radiologic technology. This 
program is a joint effort of LaGrange College (LC) and the Troup County 
Area Vocational Technical School (Troup Tech) with West Georgia Medical 
Center (WGMC) as the clinical affiliate. Upon successful completion of the 
examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists the 
graduate becomes a registered radiologic technologist. He may then seek 
employment, continue his education in radiologic technology at another 
college or university, or complete the requirements for a Baccalaureate 
Degree in another area of study at LC. 

The program functions within the guidelines of both LC and Troup Tech. 
The candidates must be accepted by LC as described elsewhere in this 
bulletin. In addition the candidate must be at least 18 years of age. Further, 
the candidate's Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores must be filed with the 
School of Radiologic Technology at Troup Tech. To be accepted by the 
School of Radiologic Technology a candidate may obtain an application 
form from the School at TroupTech. Application blanks must be completed 
and returned along with transcripts of high school and college records, a 
passport-type photograph, and health records to the School of Radiologic 
Technology. In addition, a personal interview is required before final 
acceptance of a candidate. 



32 LaG range College 

The program begins in the fall quarter and radiologic technologic courses 
are taught in sequence. It is preferred for the student to accomplish the 
college course work independent of the Troup Tech course work. Require- 
ments for graduation are completion of the curriculum as outlined with a 
minimum grade of C in each course, and an overall quality point average of 
2.0 or above. 

In addition to the fees listed elsewhere the student will need to provide for 
transportation to and from Troup Tech and WGMC and purchase uniforms 
and accessories. The student must pay a textbook fee of $175.00 and a 
supply fee of $30.00 per quarter to the School of Radiologic Technology. 
The school provides all books required for its courses and furnishes free 
laundry service for cotton uniforms.

Requirements for Bachelor Degrees 

LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of 
Business Administration degree. The requirements for these degrees call 
for a four year program. The unit of work is the quarter hour. This means one 
class-meeting each week for a 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 183 quarter hours and a 2.0 
quality-point average overall, as well as in all course work taken at 
LaGrange College. To be eligible for the degree, a student must have earned 
a cumulative average of 2.0 or better and, must make application for the 
degree before the beginning of his final quarter. A student fails to earn a 
degree in sixteen full quarters or the equivalent may be denied further 
registration. 

A minimum of 15 quarter hours meets the academic load requirement for 
a full-time student. The maximum full load is 17 quarter hours; anything 
beyond is considered an overload. No student is permitted to enroll for 
more than 22 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 credittowards 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 are 
counted toward the degree. No credit is granted toward the degree for 
course work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior 
standing. A transfer student is not given credit toward graduation for any Ds 
earned elsewhere until he has validated them at LaGrange College. One 
hourof Beamed at LaGrange College validates one hour of D, and one hour 
of A earned at LaGrange College validates two hours of D. 

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 approval from his academic adviser and the Academic Dean, be 
permitted to enroll as a transient student 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 requirements, credit 
earned in this manner will be considered as residence credit. Normally, a 



Administrative Regulations 35 

student is not permitted to repeat as a transient at another institution a 
course in which an unsatisfactory grade has been received at LaGrange 
College. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in this way during the last 
90 hours or final 6 quarters precludes 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 desires to take 
course work for credit by extension or by correspondence must obtain prior 
approval in writing from hisacademic adviser and from the Academic Dean. 
Such extension or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours; 
however, not more than 5 hours earned in this 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. 

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 1 00-level may be applied toward a 
major. 

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. 
N  no credit or non-credit 
W  withdrawn passing. Normally, a grade of W will not be assigned after 

midquarter. 
U  withdrawn failing. The grade of U is indicated in computation of 

grade point average. 
O  penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of honor and is 

computed in grade point average. 
T  audit withdrawn 
X  audit complete 

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 student may audit any course during the first quarter of 
residence at LaGrange College. 



36 LaG range College 

An / is a temporary grade. Normally it must be removed by the date 
indicated in the Academic Calendar. Failure to remove an /by the date set 
automatically makes the grade an F. A grade other than /, 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. 
Transcripts are withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to 
the College. 

Graduation Requirement 

A student who enters LaGrange College under a given catalogue will be 
graduated under the requirements of that catalogue. If a student withdraws 
and re-enters more than four years later, he will graduate under the 
requirements of the catalogue in effect at the time of his re-entry. 

General Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree 

All students are required to meet the General Requirements listed below. 
4 Any changes in the General Requirements are initiated and implemented by 
formal action of the faculty. (Normally, transfer students who have the A.A. 
degree or an equivalent degree from an accredited junior college are 
exempt from all LaGrange College General Requirements). A student is 
expected to complete 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 be initiated by the adviser on the Academic Petition form 
and approved by the Academic Dean. 

Each student must select 60 quarter hours from at least seven of the eight 
areas listed below. At least one course must be selected from each of the 
seven areas chosen, and no more than three may be chosen as General 
Requirements 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 t are beginning courses; a 
beginning course must be taken in each area chosen. For requirements for 
the B.B.A. degree see page 38. 

Other Requirements 

Successful completion of courses in basic English skills (English 101, 
102) by the end of sophomore year is required of all students seeking a 
Bachelor's degree from LaGrange College. Students receive 10 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. 
English 101 may be exempted only by those students who have scored 600 
or above on the verbal component of the SAT examination or its equivalent. 



Administrative Regulations 37 

Transfer students will be advised of the application or non-application of 
this requirement to their particular situation. 

Each student is required to earn 3 quarter hours in Physical Education 
unless excused.

38 LaG range College 

Minors: Academic minors may be earned in most departments and in 
computer science. 

A minor must include at least thirty hours, fifteen of which normally must 
be in 300-level courses. Specific courses for a minor 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 Medicine and Pharmacy 

Engineering Allied Fields Theology 

Law Optometry Veterinary Medicine 

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 pre- 
scribed 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 prescribed 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 
requirements 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 requires the prior approval of the Academic Dean of LaGrange 
College and completion of all General Requirements for the A.B. degree. 

Students of LaGrange College are accepted for Joint Enrollment in 
Engineering by Georgia Institute of Technology and by Auburn University. 
Prospective engineers should consult the Division of Science and 
Mathematics for details of this program.

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 $20 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 assists the student in 
planning an academic program. However, the ultimate responsibility of 
meeting all requirements rests with the individual student. 

A student interested in a particular major should inform his general 
adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be 
scheduled. A major may be formally declared anytime after the student has 
earned 15 hours of credit. The student must declare his major in writing to 
the Registrar by the time he has earned 75 quarter hours of credit. The 
student will then be assigned to an adviser in the department in which he 
will major. A student planning to pursue a program in Teacher Education 
must make application in writing to the head of the Department of 
Education at least by the time he declares his major. 

Withdrawal 

To withdraw from any course a student must confer with his instructor, 
his adviser, and the Academic Dean. Failure of a student to withdraw 
officially through the office of the Academic Dean normally will result in the 
assignment of a U. Normally, a student who withdraws before midquarter 
will be assigned a W; after mid- quarter a U. This procedure applies also to 
withdrawal from the College. A student who wishes to withdraw from the 
College must confer with the Academic Dean and the Dean of Student 
Development. 

Academic Probation Regulations 

Students are placed on academic probation when the quality of work is 
such that progress toward graduation is in jeopardy. 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 most cases, students have three quarters to remove 
their probationary status. Failure to do so makes these students subject to 
suspension or exclusion. 

Students are also subject to suspension or exclusion for failure to earn at 



Academic Procedures 41 

least five quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid 
academic reasons. In the case of part-time students, the extent of applica- 
tion of these regulations will be at the discretion of the Academic Dean. 
Normally, all 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 U any student whose absences are interfering with 
satisfactory performance in the course. 

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 preceding 
quarter, except that a student may take an overload during one quarter of 
his senior year without respect to grade-point average. 

Academic Honors 

Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange 
College for at least their last ninety hours and 

1 . have attained a quality point average of 3.50 to 3.74 may be granted the 
bachelor degree cum laude or 

2. have attained a quality point average of 3.75 to 3.89 may be granted the 
bachelor degree magna cum laude or 

3. have attained a quality point average of 3.90 to 4.0 may be granted the 
bachelor degree summa cum laude. 

At the end of each academic quarter, students who have maintained a 
3.60 quality point average of a minimum of 15 quarter hours of work will be 
placed on the Dean's List. 

Special Programs 

There are several categories of special programs, described below. These 
are designed to meet special interests and special needs. In no case are they 
intended to be used as substitutes for any regular course offerings. Also, 
concurrent enrollment in any two or more of these special programs is 
discouraged.

Religion and Philosophy 

The Department of Religion and Philosophy has a twofold purpose: to 
afford students the opportunity to study and investigate the role of religion 
in human existence; and to provide, for those interested, a basis for further 
study and for selection of positions in church-related vocations. The 



60 LaG range College 

Department is aware of the increasing demand that pre-theological stu- 
dents be prepared to enter seminary at the graduate level in their studies 
and at the same time have a broad cultural orientation. In addition, the 
Department is aware of the need for an interdisciplinary preparation for 
persons interested in Christian Education. To this end the Department 
offers a major in Christian Education which may be coordinated with a 
major in Elementary Education. 

For those persons primarily concerned with religious subjects there is a 
two-year program of religious studies for which an A.A. degree may be 
earned. For those who desire to continue their education through the study 
of religion, a program of Continuing Education is offered. Units earned may 
later be converted into college credit if the proper steps are taken. Courses 
designed for the Continuing Education Units represent, in the main, 
subdivisions of the five hour courses. 

Religion 101 or 102 or 110 is required of all students electing Area V of the 
General Requirements. However, Religion 103-104 in combination may be 
substituted for Religion 101. Philosophy 149 may count as a General 
Requirement after either of the Religion courses is passed. 

Religion 

A major in Religion consists of a minimum of 40 hours selected from the 
course offerings in Religion, excluding courses taken for General Require- 
ments. In addition, a minimum of 20 hours should be taken from selected 
courses in related disciplines: Education, English, Health and Physical 
Education, History, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology. Such courses 
must have the approval of the Department Head and/or adviser. A minimum 
of 15 hours should be taken in unrelated disciplines. 

Christian Education 

A major in Christian Education consists of the following courses: 
Religion 102 or 110, 103, 104, 151 , 202, 203, 204, 205, 212 or 213, 361, and a 
minimum of one other five-hour religion elective. In addition, selected 
courses from the Department of Education and Health and Physical 
Education will be required. Students will be expected to participate in the 
Christian Education Internship Program, Religion 490 and 491, or Educa- 
tion 490 and 491.

clinical aspects of nursing. Therefore, nursing courses have laboratory 
hours, as well as lecture hours. Laboratory hours provide students time to 
learn and apply the skills of nursing, and give them actual patient care 
experience in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other health care 
facilities. Each laboratory hour equals three hours of actual experience. 
Some of the required non-nursing courses are pre- or co-requisites for the 
nursing courses and therefore must be successfully completed before or at

MILITARY SCIENCE 

Professor Rasch 
Assistant Professors Miles, Pereira 

LaGrange College in cooperation with Columbus College offers courses 
in Military Science, to students who elect to combine the military training 
program with their academic program. The program enables students to 
attain commissions as second lieutenants in the Army at the same time they 
earn their baccalaureate degrees. 

Instruction in military science is under the supervision of an Army officer. 
By appointment of the college administration, he is designated as Professor 
of Military Science and Commandant of Cadets. He is assisted by a staff of 
active duty commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The curriculum 
is divided into two courses, basic (freshman-sophomore) and advanced 
(junior-senior). 

BASIC COURSE 

The basic course contains work in leadership and general military 
subjects designed to qualify students for entrance into advanced military 
science. These subjects carry college credits as well as military contact 
credit hours. Many of the basic courses may be taken in lieu of physical 
education requirements. Students with prior military experience and/or 
three years of high school ROTC may be exempted from the basic course 
pending approval of the Professor of Military Science. Each basic ROTC 
course carries military contact credit hours, and may or may not have 
usable college credit. This allows students to gain entrance into the 
advanced program through accumulation of 90 military contact hours. 
Another alternative for students who want to qualify to take advanced ROTC 
but are too far in their academic effort to complete the basic ROTC on 
campus instruction, is to apply to the Professor of Military Science to attend 
a 6 week basic ROTC summer camp between the sophomore and junior 
year. The basic course allows the student multiple entry points into the 
ROTC program and allows the working student the opportunity to qualify 
for the advanced program. 

ADVANCED COURSE 

The advanced course consists of 22 credit hours of instruction and an 
advanced summer camp. Advanced course credit hours consist of leader- 
ship, management and military science courses and are normally absorbed 
by free electives without adding to hours needed for graduation. Students 
who are accepted into the advanced program do so via a contractual 
agreement with the government. Under the terms of the agreement, 
students are paid a subsistence of $100 per month, not to exceed $2,000.00 
during two years while enrolled in the advanced course and are granted a 
commission upon successful completion of the course and the granting of 
the baccalaureate degree. 

The advanced camp portion is six weeks in duration and is normally 



102 LaG range College 

attended in the summer, at no cost to the student, between the junior and 
the beginning of the senioryear. Advanced campteststhe leadership ability 
and general military knowledge of ROTC cadets. While attending advanced 
camp, students are paid approximately $400 per month. Reimbursement for 
travel to and from camp is made at the rate prescribed by travel regulations. 
Uniforms, quarters, medical care, and rations are furnished by the govern- 
ment during the camp period. 

REQUIRED MILITARY SCIENCE COURSES 

Required Military Science courses for the basic course are MIS 107, and 
206 with the remainder from ROTC electives. Advanced course students are 
required to take MIS 301, 302, 303, 307, 406, 415, 416, 417, and 418.
