By ready we mean that you are capable of doing satisfactorily the work re- quired in a liberal arts college, and that you are fired with enthusiasm to get the most out of an experience in higher education. If you are ready, you will be glad you chose LaGrange College. It is the oldest and the newest college in Georgia that is not supported by public funds. Organized in 1831 it is now about to enter its 125th year of service. It is new in that it continues to make new adjustments to meet the demands of new occasions. For instance, its curriculum arrangement has just been rebuilt upon five great cultural pillars: Business Administration, Fine Arts, Humanities, Science, and Social Science. Within this framework you may major in any one of 13 academic subjects leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The faculty is competent and qualified. It is composed of men and women who are known for sound scholarship, but whose interest in the well being of students provides an informal atmosphere for the greatest possible development of every individual student's abilities. The extra-curricula activities enable students to give full expres- sion to their interests and talents in student government, publications, art, drama, music, international relations, religious organizations, and sports. There are enough activities to give every student an opportunity not only to serve but also to gain recognition. Moreover, students who transfer from junior colleges and other schools have a full opportunity to find a significant place in student affairs. Pre-professional training is offered to students going into law, medicine, social work, nursing, medical technology, ministry, religious education, and teaching. Full training is given in the fields of Business Administration and Secretarial Science. In the field of teaching, a pro- fessional certificate is offered at the elementary and secondary levels. A unique feature in the LaGrange College programs is the normal emphasis given to religion in the total life and program of the school. The faculty is committed to the Christian way of life. Courses in Bible, meaningful chapel services, student religious organizations, and worship services conducted by students all contribute to an atmosphere that is conducive to spiritual growth. Emphasis is given to an interesting social life. Every student is offered an opportunity to join a fraternity or sorority. As locals they gain prestige from the fact that they are older than many nationals. They stress fellowship and social graces rather than social snobbery. 4 LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN All students have ample opportunity to enjoy parties and dates. Besides the fun of association with others on the campus, the weekends see scores of students visiting from other schools in Georgia and Alabama. It is the purpose of LaGrange College to offer full assistance to the students in the development of whole persons who can take their places as poised and purposive leaders in contemporary society. We welcome you to join us in this venture in understanding and growth at LaGrange College. LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN 5 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS The Department of Business Administration and Economics offers courses of instruction leading to the bachelor's degree in business admin- istration and in economics and to the two years' certificate in secretarial science. The principal objective of the Department is to train young men and women for responsible positions in the business world. Many de- partmental majors, however, will enter government service or the teach- ing profession or take graduate work. Other majors in the Department will be chiefly interested in obtaining a knowledge and appreciation of the working of modern economic society and an understanding of then- roles in it as responsible citizens. To implement these instructional objectives, the Department will cooperate closely with the business community of the area, wherever possible making actual business operations and specific problems a workshop for the classroom. The resulting familiarization of the students with a cross-section of the business life of the Southeast will enable them to make a maximum contribution to its future economic development. Apart from its instructional aims, the Department of Business Ad- ministration and Economics seeks to become a service department to all other departments of the College. It seeks also to serve directly, through the provision of its facilities, the armed services, banking, and other sectors of 1he whole community. 6 LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY AS RELATED TO SOCIAL SCIENCE The division of Education and Psychology in the Social Science De- partment includes a full major in Psychology built around requirements in General Psychology, Human Growth and Devepolment, Social and/or Applied Psychology, Counseling and Guidance four three-semester hour courses; four courses from such work as Marriage and Family, Social Work, Statistics, Abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Religion, Educa- tional Psychology, Personnel Psychology; two elective courses from Natural Science and Social Science or as may be approved by the Educa- tion and Psychology chairman a total of ten three-semester hour courses (30 hours) . Since a majority of our seniors take the Apprentice Teaching re- quired for a Professional Teacher's Certificate the following is suggest- ed information. Either the Elementary or High School Certificate is based upon seven professional courses in Education and Psychology, four of which are designed irom the Psychology major. Elementary teaching includes seven courses from specialized subject matter. The High School Certificate includes a major from a selected field such as Social Science, English, Natural Science, Foreign Language, and a minor in Mathematics, if and when Mathematics is included. The curricula for prospective teachers are so arranged that a student may qualify for the Professional Four- Year Certificate in either the Elementary or the High School. Teacher Education candidates will take a specific program of study for the aforementioned Georgia Cer- tificates as approved by the Georgia State Department of Education. Each candidate is to be approved by the Dean and the Professor of Education. The division of Education and Psychology cooperates with the other divisions and departments of the college for the best interests of the students as related to the social needs of our times, and with func- tional experiences to meet such needs. This includes a study of children and adolescents as to their limitations and potentialities; also, the rela- tionships with adults. LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN 7 FINE ARTS The Department of Fine Arts has three principal objectives: (1) To contribute to the total development of all students at La- Grange College through increasing their awareness of the beauty in the world in which they live, to assist them in gaining experiences that will lead them to find creative expression through one or more of the fine arts, and to help them to an understanding of the position the Fine Arts have held in the history of mankind and the relationship of the Fine Arts to all the other broad areas of human experience. (2) To provide a superior curriculum, taught by a faculty with the highest standards, for those students who choose the Fine Arts as their field of specialization whether it be in the specific area of Music, Speech and Drama, or the Visual Arts. (3) To contribute to the cultural life of the community through a spirit of cooperation in those activities which make the richly rewarding experiences of the realm of the Fine Arts available to every individual. 8 LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN HUMANITIES The Department of Humanities offers courses in Languages and Literature, Religion, and Philosophy. These courses are open to all students, whatever their major pursuits may be. Those who wish to work toward a major in this field may attain it in English, French, Spanish, or Religion. A major in any of the languages will satisfy the subject-matter re- quirements for a professional high school four-year certificate. A major in religion is designed for the preparation of ministers or of church direc- tors of religious education. LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN 9 SCIENCE The Department of Science has modern, well-equipped labora- tories. Training is offered on the undergraduate level in the fields of Mathmatics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. A student may concen- trate in one of these fields but the emphasis is on a broad, strong founda- tion since major students are graduated from LaGrange College to go into (1) Mathematics and Science teaching in public schools, (2) grad- uate work in Universities, and (3) the study of medicine, denistry, medi- cal technology, and related professions. 10 LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN SOCIAL SCIENCE This Department offers a major in each of the following fields: Psychology, Social Science, including Economics, Sociology and Govern- ment, and a combination of History and Social Science. Careful atten- tion is given to training for both the cultural and service values. A great deal of attention is given to training of students for the teaching profession. Preparation for teaching in Georgia, since most of our graduates who teach offer their services in this state, is given major emphasis but the Department keeps abreast of variations that may arise in case our graduates contemplate working in another state. The Social Science Department is keenly aware of the close rela- tionship to that of our other departments. Suggestions and recommenda- tions are encouraged, with the end in view that this will greatly assist in graduating students who will be in better position to enjoy life more and render better service.

Room Reservation Deposit (Not refundable after June 15) 20.00 REFUNDS In connection with refunds, the College has adopted a policy which is consistent with good business standards. Parents a::d studants should realize that the finances of the institution are planned on the basis of anticipated income for an academic year. Without such basis the educa- tional services of the institution cannot be effectively developed. In this connection, therefore, it is assumed that a student engaging a room in a college residence is assuming financial responsibility for the room for the full academic year. In connection with tutition, the fee which is paid is allotted to ap- propriate expenses of the institution on the basis of the use of the tuition fee for the academic year. With this anticipation in mind the program of the institution can be developed on a sound business basis, which is protective to its students. 16 LAGRANGE COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN No refund of tuition or fee is allowed a student withdrawing after mid-semester.

Rebates on room rent will not be made after four weeks following the official opening of the residence halls for either the first semester or the second semester.
