INTRODUCTION TO SAVANNAH STATE

COLLEGE

Savannah State College;, a unit of the University System of Georgia,
is a college of applied arts and sciences, teacher education, business,
and vocational technology.

The general purposes of the College are to serve the needs of youth
in preparation for fuller and richer citizenship. The College realizes
that these needs can be met best by guiding and assisting youth in
their search for personal, social, and vocational adjustment. The full
development of the potentialities of each individual in line with the
American way of life constitutes progress toward the democratic
ideals of our society.

More specifically, the College aims : ( 1 ) to assist students in de-
veloping the kind of abilities, skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits, and
traits of character that will enable them to earn a good living in a
socially useful livelihood, or to pursue a graduate program of pro-
fessional or technical education; (2) to help them develop well-
rounded, wholesome, spiritually enriched and mature lives; and (3)
to enable them to become effective participants in a democratic
society.

The total curricula offerings, the out-of-class activities, the guid-

14 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

ance students receive from pre-college counselling to placement after
graduation, and the faculty selected to direct the College program
are planned in terms of attaining these purposes.

A broad scope of activities designed to accomplish these goals
includes:

(a) Curricular offerings in three instructional divisions: Arts and
Sciences, Home Economics, and Trades and Industries.

(b) Out-of-class activities such as dramatics, debating, band and
orchestra, glee clubs, quartets, varsity and intra-mural athletics, artists
and lectures series, student newspaper, varied social activities, church
and vesper services, Y M C A and YWCA.

(c) Conferences, forums, institutes, lectures, men's council, wom-
en's council, student participation in the planning of activities and
the government of the institution.

With the guidance of faculty members, personnel workers and ad-
ministrators, each student is able to select from these offerings a
program of his own choice that will prepare him to pursue success-
fully a socially useful livelihood, to live a spiritually enriched life,
and to participate effectively in a democratic society.

GENERAL INFORMATION

History

By an Act of the General Assembly on November 26, 1890, the
State of Georgia "established in connection with the State University,
and forming one of the departments thereof, a school for the educa-
tion and training of Colored Students. By the same Act, the Gov-
ernor was empowered to appoint "five fit and discreet persons, resi-
dents of the State, to be known as the Commission on the School for
Colored Students." This Commission was to "procure the grounds
and buildings necessary for the establishment of the School," to pre-
scribe a course of training to be provided for all the students in said
school, "embracing the studies required by the Acts of the Congress
of the United States, approved July 2, 1862, and August 30, 1890,
making donations of public lands and the proceeds thereof to the
States and Territories for educational purposes."

It was further enacted that "the said school, when so established,
shall be a part of the University of Georgia," and the Commission
named in the Act appointed by the Governor, "shall constitute the
local Board of Trustees for the School, with perpetual succession."
This Commission was given immediate control, supervision and man-
agement of the school, subject to the general Board of Trustees of
the University of Georgia. The Chairman of the local Board of
Trustees was made ex-officio member of the general Board of Trus-
tees of the University, and the Chancellor of the University of Geor-
gia was given general supervision of the school.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 15

In the summer of 1891, from June 1 to August 1, by the direction
of the Commission, Chancellor Boggs inaugurated in Baxter Street
School building at Athens, Georgia, a preliminary session of the
school which was conducted by Richard R. Wright, principal, and
three other instructors. Later, in 1892, this school was styled by the
Commission, "The Georgia State Industrial College for Colored
Youths" and was located about five miles southeast of the courthouse
of Savannah, Georgia, near Thunderbolt. For the permanent organ-
ization, the Commission selected a faculty consisting of a president,
instructors in English, mathematics, natural science, a superintendent
of the mechanical department, and a foreman of the farm.

During the thirty years Major Richard R. Wright was president,
the enrollment increased from 8 to 585; the curriculum was built
up to four years of high school training and a normal division of
college work. Training was offered in agriculture and the mechanical
arts. Starting the school with 86 acres of land (51 farm and 35
campus) on which were Boggs Hall, Parsons Hall, and a farm house,
Major Wright added four frame trade buildings, Meldrim Hall
(1896), Hill Hall (1901), a dairy barn and creamery (1904), a shoe
repair shop, a laundry, and a home economics building (1915).

Several changes were made during the presidency of C. G. Wiley
(1921-1926). During his first term, the Commission admitted young
women as boarders. The Smith-Lever, Smith-Hughes, and the Jeanes
funds established headquarters at the College. The first regular sum-
mer school was conducted, June 26-August 4, 1922. In 1925 the Gen-
eral Assembly of Georgia changed the form of the governing body
for the College from a Commission with "perpetual succession" to a
Board of Trustees with a four-year term of office. The Governor ap-
pointed A. Pratt Adams, Savannah, Georgia, as chairman of the
Board.

In 1926, Meldrim Hall, which had been burned, was rebuilt.

Under the leadership of Dr. Benjamin F. Hubert (1926-1947), the
entire program was reorganized. The high school and normal depart-
ments were discontinued and the school became a four-year college,

offering the bachelor's degree in agriculture and home economics.

In 1931, the State, upon the advice of a special Committee of au-
thorities in education invited to make a study of the University Sys-
tem of education, placed the entire System under a Board of Regents.
At that time the College began offering degree programs with majors
in English, the natural sciences, social sciences, and business admin-
istration.

During the administration of Dr. Benjamin F. Hubert, the follow-
ing buildings were added to the physical plant: Adams Hall (1931),
Willie Powell Laboratory School (1932), shops for masonry and auto
mechanics (1935), Morgan Hall (1936), Willcox Gymnasium (1936),
Herty Hall (1937), Camilla Hubert Hall (1938), information Cabin
(1940), Community House (1941), Incubator House (1941), three
teachers cottages, a cannery and farm shop building (1943), Trades

16 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

Building (1947), and poultry houses for laying hens and growing
chicks.

On July 1, 1947, Mr. James A. Colston became the fourth presi-
dent of Georgia State College. President Colston quickly sensed the
task that awaited him, and began immediately charting the course for
a greater college by renovating and enlarging the physical plant,
strengthening the faculty, improving curricula offerings, and setting
up a practically new student personnel service. Three buildings were
added to the physical plant; an infirmary operated by a full-time
nurse and a physician; a fine arts building; and the College Inn.

On September 1, 1949, Dean W. K. Payne became acting president
of Georgia State College.

On January 18, 1950, the Regents of the University System of
Georgia changed the name of the College from Georgia State College
to Savannah State College.

On March 1, 1950, W. K. Payne became the fifth president of the
College.

Under Dr. W. K. Payne's administration the College laundry,
destroyed by fire in 1951, has been completely rebuilt; the College
appropriation has been more than doubled; and the institution has
been fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. Moreover, a developmental plan for the College
has been prepared. An extensive building program was begun in
1951; a sewage disposal system, a central heating plant, and a new
dormitary for men have already been completed. In addition, Ham-
mond Hall has been enlarged, administrative offices in Meldrim
Hall have been relocated and modernized, and the annex to Willcox
Gymnasium is nearing completion.

Location

The College is located in Chatham County near the town of Thun-
derbolt, five miles from Savannah, Georgia's oldest city and chief
seaport.

Regular bus service is maintained from downtown Savannah to
the campus.

Academic Rating

Savannah State College is accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the Department of Educa-
tion of the State of Georgia.

Credit

Credit for course work is stated in terms of quarter hours. One
quarter hour represents one hour a week of prepared work, or its
equivalent, covering a period of twelve weeks. Not less than two hours
of laboratory work is regarded as the equivalent of one hour of lecture
and recitation.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 17

The Library

The library is located on the first floor of Hill Hall. Approximately
one thousand volumes are added each year to keep the collection up-
to-date. The library now has approximately seventeen thousand
well chosen books and a variety of periodicals and newspapers.

Buildings And Grounds

The campus, comprising one hundred and thirty-six acres, presents
a setting of matchless natural beauty. There are thirty-five build-
ings. Among the more outstanding are the attractively designed and
modernly constructed Camilla Hubert Hall, housing one hundred and
seventy-five women; Adams Hall, the dining hall, serving five hun-
dred students at a time; Meldrim Hall, consisting of administrative
offices, the auditorium, and some classrooms; Willcox Gymnasium,
headquarters of the Physical Education Department; and Parsons
Hall, containing faculty apartments and the Public Relations office.

More recently completed structures are the central heating plant
and a men's dormitory. The heating plant, powered by three indi-
vidual automatic oil burning units of 575 horsepower, generates heat
to meet the needs of the entire campus. The new dormitory is an
ultramodern, fireproof structure which comfortably houses 210 men.

Life On The Campus

Savannah State College makes a concerted effort to insure whole-
some personal development and growth for those students who reside
in its dormitories. Residence halls for men and for women are
equipped with essential furniture. Students provide their own bed
linen, blankets, towels, bedspreads, and scarfs.

Residential life of women students is supervised by the Dean of
Women and head residents. Through dormitory clubs, the women
students help to plan dormitory activities and participate in develop-
ing standards of conduct and determining social regulations for the
groups.

Dormitory life for men is supervised by the Dean of Men and the
head resident. Practice in democratic living is provided through dor-
mitory organization, enabling the men to work with the staff in plan-
ning projects, stimulating achievement, and promoting optimum
personal development.

Out-of-town students who desire to live in the city must
secure approval from the Dean of Men or the Dean of
Women.

RELIGIOUS LIFE

Savannah State College puts great emphasis upon a rich and varied
religious life program. Through its religious activities, the College

18 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

seeks to develop an understanding of and an appreciation for the
place of religion in everyday living, to deepen spiritual insight, and
to make the practice of Christian principles a vital part of the life of
the well educated citizen.

Weekly church and vesper services bring to the campus outstanding
thinkers and leaders in religious and social living.

Religious life activities are directed by the College Minister. The
Sunday School, YMCA and YWCA, the Newman Club, and the an-
nual Religious Emphasis Week provide opportunities for religious
growth and development, under the supervision of the Religious Life
Committee.

STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES

Student personnel services are coordinated through the Office of
Student Personnel Services under the supervision of its Chairman.
The Dean of Men and Dean of Women work with the Chairman to
provide a broad program of educational, vocational, and personal
guidance to aid students in making desirable adjustments through-
out their college careers, and in gaining employment when they
leave.

The scholastic, vocational, and social welfare of students is super-
vised and provisions are made for individual and group conferences
to facilitate adjustment to college life.

Orientation

The orientation program is under the supervision of the Office of
Student Personnel Services. It is designed to assist new students in
becoming acquainted with other students, with college regulations,
with routine procedures, with campus traditions, with the opportuni-
ties offered for training here and with specialized vocational guidance.

The program is divided into two parts: Freshman Week and
Personal Orientation. Freshman Week aims to meet the immediate
needs of new students entering a college environment. Personal
Orientation is a required course which meets once a week during the
school year and is designed to aid students in the total process of ad-
justment to college life. Experiences are provided to promote their
desirable growth and development.

Counselling and Guidance

A counselling and guidance service is provided for all students
through the offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women,
and their staffs. Professional counselling and services are provided
students in the following areas; admissions, scholarships, work aid,
health, religious values, social activities, job placement, and general
life planning. Advisors in all departments provide counselling for
course registration and problems that arise in connection with the
academic work and progress of students.

Health Services

The College health services are maintained to improve and safe-
guard the health of students. These services are under the direct su-
pervision of the school physician and the school nurse. Medical ex-
aminations, medical care, and health consultations are provided for
all students. A modern, eighteen-bed infirmary is provided for stu-
dents who require treatment or confinement for minor illness. The
facilities of Charity Hospital in Savannah are also available to Sa-
vannah State College students.

Veterans Services

All the curricula of Savannah State College are fully approved
for Korean veterans, as well as for veterans of World War II.

In order to assist the large number of veterans who attend Savan-
nah State College, a special staff worker, in the capacity of the Vet-
erans Secretary, is employed. Before and in the process of registra-
tion, he assists in forwarding accurate information to the Veterans
Administration. Throughout the year he counsels and informs vet-
erans about regulations and directives peculiar to their status.

Each veteran who is enrolling for the first time is urged to forward
his Certificate of Eligibility (VA-Form 1950 and VA 'Form 7-1990
July 1952 for Korean Veterans) to the Office of the Veterans Secre-
tary. Any veteran who does not have his approved VA-Forms at the
time of initial registration will be required to make a deposit of
$55.00. This deposit will be refunded when the Certificate of Eligi-
bility is presented to the Veterans Secretary.

Charges for room and board are payable in advance. Veterans
who have not completed arrangements for subsistence payments must
pay room and board from their own funds until such time as sub-
sistence payments are received.

Veterans are urged to report personally to the Veterans Secretary
at Savannah State College immediately after their admission to the
College.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Savannah State College contributes to the attainment of a well-
rounded education by providing many opportunities for students to

ity before they may complete registration. A veteran who does not have
his certificate of eligibility or whose papers are not in order will be re-
quired to make a deposit of $55.00 on his fees, which is refundable

the Schedule of Payment.

Explanation Of Fees

GENERAL DEPOSIT: Upon initial registration each student will
be required to make a general deposit of $10.00. This charge will not
be applied to the student's account but will be retained by the institu-
tion as a general deposit so long as the student remains in school. When
a student withdraws or completes his course of training, this deposit
will be returned to the student, less any charges that may have been
assessed against the deposit for such things as keys, library books not
returned, laboratory or dormitory breakage, unpaid fees, etc.

GRADUATION FEE: A charge of $5.00 to cover the cost of
diploma and rental of cap and gown payable upon filing application
for graduation.

HEALTH FEE: A fee of $3.00 per quarter is required of each stu-
dent to finance limited clinical services, bed care in the infirmary for
minor illness, and general dispensary care.

LATE REGISTRATION FEE: Students who fail to register on
the regular registration day will be charged late registration fee of
$3.00 for the first day and $1.00 each for the second and third days,
the total not to exceed $5.00.

MATRICULATION FEE: The charge for matriculation is $30.00
per quarter for students registering for twelve (12) or more quarter

Definition Of Non-Resident

"The Board of Regents has established a non-resident fee which is
applicable to all students determined not to be legal residents of the
State of Georgia. The Board has also established a definition of legal
resident which reads as follows:

"To be considered a legal resident of Georgia for the purpose of

23 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

registering at a unit of the University System of Georgia, a student
must present evidence as follows:

"(a) If under 21 years of age, that the parent (or guardian) has
been a bona fide resident of the State of Georgia for at least one
year next preceding the registration date.

"In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as a
guardian of a non-resident minor, such minor does not become a
resident until the expiration of one year from the date of appoint-
ment, and then only upon proper showing that such appointment
was not made to avoid the non-resident fee.

"(b) If over 21 years of age, that bona fide resident in the State
of Georgia has been established at least one year next preceding
registration and that he is eligible to become a registered voter. No
person shall be deemed to have gained or lost residence while a stu-
dent at an institution of the University System."

ROOM, BOARD, AND LAUNDRY: All students living in the
dormitories are required to eat in the college dining hall. The charge
for room, board, and laundry is $138.00 per quarter or $414.00 per
year. The dining hall does not maintain a diet table. Students who do
not need all three services (room, board, and laundry) must make
arrangements to stay off campus.

SPECIAL EXAMINATION FEE: A fee of $1.00 is required for
each special, delinquent, or validation examination. Arrangements
for such examinations must be made with the Dean of Faculty.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEE: A student activities fee of $7.50
per quarter is required of each student. The Student Activities Com-
mittee has authority in assignment of funds from this source to the va-
rious agencies and activities which serve student needs.

TRANSCRIPT FEE: No charge is made for the first transcript
issued at the request of a student. A charge of $1.00 will be made for
each additional transcript issued.

Refund Of Fees

A student who wishes to withdraw must secure permission to with-
draw from the Dean of Faculty and submit his official withdrawal per-
mit immediately to the Registrar. The Registrar will promptly report
the student's withdrawal to the Comptroller, therewith requesting a
refund of fees. Students ill at home or otherwise not able to follow
this procedure should write or have someone write to the Dean of
Faculty requesting permission to withdraw.

No refund of fees for any quarter will be authorized unless the fore-
going procedure is completed before the end of such quarter. The
matriculation Fee, Health Fee, Student Activity Fee, and Non-Resi-
dent Fee are subject to the Refund Policy of the University System
adopted by the Board of Regents, January 20, 1947, as follows:

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 29

"For Students who withdraw during the first week after registra-
tion, 80% of the fees may be refunded; for students who withdraw
during the second week, a refund of 60% will be made; for students
who withdraw not later than the end of the third week following
registration, a refund of 40% may be granted; for students who
withdraw during the fourth week following the scheduled registra-
tion date, a refund of 20% will be granted. No refund will be made
to students who withdraw after the end of the fourth week follow-
ing registration."

Room, board, and laundry charges will be made through the end
of the week during which the student withdraws. A student who wishes
to withdraw from the dining hall and dormitory must secure a permit
to withdraw from the personnel dean. This permit when submitted
with the dining hall mealbook will entitle the student to a refund.

Self Help Opportunities

Worthy and industrious students may help to meet college expenses
through part-time employment, provided they maintain satisfactory
scholastic averages. These work opportunities include such jobs as
clerical and stenographic work, library work, waiting tables, washing
dishes, pantry and kitchen work, skilled and unskilled work in the
several trades and in maintenance.

Students who plan to apply for part-time work should note care-
fully:

1. No student should attempt to enter Savannah State College un-
less he is prepared to pay the major part of his total college
expenses.

2. All students are required to pay all entrance expenses when
they register. Money earned through part-time work may there-
after be credited to the monthly account.

WORK ASSIGNMENTS

Students are assigned to work only after they have been admitted
and have arrived on the campus. Work assignments are made in the
offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women.

Scholarships

A limited number of special scholarships are available to selected
students who meet the required standards of scholastic merit, high
character, general promise, and superior achievement in certain spe-
cific areas of the college program.

THE CURRICULUM

The formal instructional program of Savannah State College com-
prises the general curriculum, the areas of major concentration, and
terminal curricula. The program is organized within four divisions,
one of which comprises ten departments:

The Division of Arts and Sciences

Department of Biology

Department of Business

Department of Chemistry

Department of Economics

Department of Education

Department of Fine Arts

Department of Health and Physical Education

Department of Languages and Literature

Department of Mathematics and Physics

Department of Social Sciences

The Division of Home Economics

The Division of Trades and Industries

The Division of General Extension

The General Curriculum

General Education, broadly conceived, is that education which is
needed by all citizens in a democratic society. The general education
curriculum at Savannah State College stems from cooperative study
and planning by faculty members of Albany State College, Fort
Valley State College, and Savannah State College. By official action
of the faculties of these three state supported institutions, and by
approval of the Regents of the University System of Georgia, a com-
mon general education curriculum here designated the general
curriculum became effective at these three institutions in September,
1953.

Objectives and Scope

General education is here seen not as mere accumulation of factual
knowledge, but as pursuit of learning, attitudes, competencies, and
values calculated to give the individual a sense of meaning and direc-
tion in the democratic way of life. The faculties of the three cooperat-
ing colleges have recognized more than a score of general and specific
purposes of general education. Some of the objectives of the general
curriculum are:

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 33

1. Competence in Communication Through this core of common
courses and experiences the constant aim is to help students in
the development of habits of effective communication in word
and number.

2. Critical Thinking The aim is assistance in the development of

orderly processes in sifting out and correlating facts and experi-
ences, and in reaching valid judgments.

3. Comprehension of the Cultural Heritage The aim is knowledge
and understanding of the cultural heritage, its sources, utilization,
appreciation, and transmission.

4. Vocational Competence The aim is to assist students in explor-
ing their vocational and avocational interests and aptitudes, to
the end that they may progress toward socially useful and per-
sonally satisfying careers.

5. Sound Health The aim is help to students in acquiring knowl-
edge and habits essential to sound physical and mental health.

6. Moral and Spiritual Values The aim is to help students toward
realization of meaning and direction in life consistent with the
highest moral and spiritual values.

Upon satisfactory completion of the freshman and sophomore
years in the general curriculum a student may transfer with facility
to one of the cooperating colleges, or he may proceed into an area
of major concentration (q. v., following) at Savannah State College.
In either case the student will further pursue both stated objectives
and culminating courses of the general curriculum.

more than eight years prior to the quarter in which application is made
for a degree.

TERMINAL COURSES

To meet the needs of persons who are already gainfully employed,
but who desire immediate, specialized training, and for others whose
opportunity for formal education is limited, the College offers two-
year terminal courses in dressmaking and tailoring, food production
and cooking, and secretarial science. Upon satisfactory completion of
a terminal course the student is given a certificate of proficiency.

DIVISIONAL AND DEPARTMENTAL
PROGRAMS

Division Of Arts And Sciences
E. K. Williams, Director

The Division of Arts and Sciences is designed: to provide students
with the background for making intelligent decisions; to enrich and
integrate the personalities of all students; to insure vocational oppor-
tunities for all; and to provide service courses for the other divisions.
In addition, it seeks to offer adequate preparation for students who
plan to pursue the study of law, medicine, ministry, social work, etc.,
or who anticipate study on the graduate level.

Students who enroll in the Division of Arts and Sciences may look
forward to securing an enriched background from the courses in
general education during their first two years of college experience.
During their last two years, they may concentrate in any one of the
eight departments: biology, business, chemistry, economics, education,
languages and literature (English), mathematics and physics, and
social science. In general, students take a major in one department
and a minor in another department. This combination of specializa-
tion enhances opportunities for cultural growth, vocational success
and competency.

Every student enrolled in a department of the Division has an aca-
demic advisor who is a member of the department in which the stu-
dent has matriculated. Each department provides the organization
and facilities for an advisory system.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

Booker T. Griffith, Chairman Joseph H. Wortham
William E. Pullin Joseph B. Wright

The aims of the Department of Biology are: (1) to provide for
all students that knowledge which is essential to an understanding of
the biological basis of living; (2) to train persons adequately through
the media of advanced courses for entry into the professional study
of dentistry, medicine, and nursing; (3) to prepare persons to teach
the biological sciences in the secondary school or to continue study
on the graduate level.

Plan Of Study

Biology 111 and 112 are designed for non-science majors, to realize
the aim stated in item (1) foregoing. Biology 201 and 204 are intended
as beginning courses for students who plan to major in one of the
sciences, or who desire training preparatory to either the study of den-
tistry or to graduate study. For persons who plan to teach biology or
another of the sciences in the secondary school, this department col-
laborating with the departments of chemistry and mathematics and
physics provides a general science major. The curriculum is outlined
under the Department of Education.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

For the major, at least 45 quarter hours, including the following
courses, are required: 201, 202, 204, 301, 302, 303, 401, 402. For the
minor, at least 30 quarter hours, including Biology 201, 202, 301, 302,
and two senior electives are required.

3. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS

Ben Ingersoll, Chairman

Albertha E. Boston Robert C. Long, Sr.

William H. Bowens Vernon W. Stone

The Department of Business has as its primary function the pre-
paration of all its students for a gainful participation in the business
world. The department aims, therefore, through its curricular offer-
ings and through counselling of individual students, to approach the
following goals: (1) preparation of students for employment in busi-
ness enterprises as bookkeepers, accountants, secretaries, stenographers,
and salespeople, and (2) preparation of students for the establish-
ment and operation of business enterprises, as owners and managers
of their and other businesses, and (3) preparation of teachers of busi-
ness and distributive education subjects in the secondary schools.

To realize these aims this department offers a degree program and
a terminal program.

Degree Program

Students enrolled in the Department of Business may do their major
work in one of two major areas: (1) Business Administration with a
concentration in accounting, general business, or secretarial science,
without the minor requirement, and (2) Business Education, includ-
ing distributive education, with a minor requirement.

Students desiring a major in secretarial science must satisfactorily
complete a minimum of 44 quarter hours in secretarial courses in-
cluding 10 quarter hours of laboratory practice, above the sophomore
year.

All business students are required to take the course in office
machines.

Persons desiring to become certified as teachers of business and
distributive education subjects in the secondary school must meet
requirements set up by the Division of Teacher Education and Certi-
fication. A minimum of 45 hours in business education courses and
36 hours of professional education courses are required in addition
to the general education requirements. The approved program for
teachers of business subjects is listed under the Department of Educa-
tion.

Freshman and Sophomore Requirements

The major part of the work in the freshman and sophomore years
consists of general education courses. Courses of this type account
for 85 of the 96-101 credit hours of the first two years. The purpose
of these courses is to lay a broad foundation of cultural work for the

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

student prior to his undertaking any specialized work. The remain-
ing 16 credit hours are given to necessary courses introductory to the
specialized curricula of the junior and senior year.

four purposes. (1) It provides a thorough foundation in the general
courses for students who seek an understanding of the methods and
achievements of the chemist. (2) It provides the needed semi-spe-
cialized preparation for students who are majoring in home economics
and trades and instrustries. (3) It affords training for persons who
plan to teach science in the secondary school. (4) It provides pre-
professional training for students who intend to study dentistry, medi-
cine, etc., and for those who plan to enter graduate school.

PLAN OF STUDY

RECOMMENDATION FOR TEACHING CERTIFICATES

The following revised teacher training curricula at Savannah State
College have been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher Edu-
cation and Certification: business education, elementary education,
English, general science, industrial arts, industrial education, mathe-
matics, and social studies. A graduate who has completed one of
these programs may be recommended to the Division of Certification
for the Four Year Professional certificate.

AIMS AND PURPOSES OF THE TEACHER
TRAINING PROGRAM

The goals of this program are seen as qualities that should mark the
superior teacher; (1) He should have a wide general academic and
cultural background, with that specific command of subject matter
which will enable him to adapt content and experiences to the needs,
problems, and interests of pupils; (2) He should be proficient in the
communication skills and able to assist pupils in developing these
skills; (3) He should have effective knowledge of human behavior,
of the processes involved in growth and learning; and he should be
skilled in the adaptation of materials and experiences to the needs and
interests of pupils; (4) He should be able to further good human re-
lationships: (5) He should be able to think and plan effectively.

GENERAL PLAN OF STUDY

The first two years of teacher training comprise mainly general
education. Work in the areas of art, the biological and physical sci-
ences, English composition and speech, general college and vocational
orientation, mathematics, health and physical education, music, and
the social sciences is included.

During the first two or three weeks of the sophomore year, the
student participates in the September Field Experience. This is an
exploratory assignment, preliminary to formal initiation into the
teacher training program.

In the junior and senior years, the prospective teacher works in
three interrelated areas: (1) the professional education sequence;
(2) the major and minor subject fields; (3) elective courses.

Required Professional Sequence

The following courses comprise the minimum core of professional
preparation required of all students who plan to teach in the ele-
mentary or the secondary school :

Ed. 216. Introduction to Teaching

Ed. 317. Human Growth and Learning

Ed. 429. Curriculum and Teaching

Ed. 440 or 441. Directed Student Teaching

Ed. 445 or 446. Seminar

48 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

These courses are to be taken in the order listed.
Students are grouped in each course according to major interests
and teaching levels.

ADMISSION TO THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM

Students who plan to complete a teaching curriculum are required
to submit an application for adrnission to the teacher education pro-
gram to the Department of Education. Applications will be consid-
ered separately and applicants will be notified individually of the ac-
tion taken on their applications.

The eligibility of applicants for admission to the program will be
determined in accordance with the following criteria:

a. Probability of Future Success as a Teacher.

Character traits such as honesty, physical and intellectual vigor,
enthusiasm, open-mindedness, resourcefulness and mature out-
look will be given high value in judging applicants' conformance
to this standard.

b. Scholastic Achievement.

Applicants must not be deficient with respect to the general
scholastic requirements of the institution at the time the appli-
cation is made. The complete scholastic record of the applicants
will be studied and proper weight will be given to this factor in
the final action taken on the application.

ADMISSION TO PRACTICE TEACHING

expected to meet the following requirements:

a. Complete the professional education sequence in the prescribed
order.

b. Maintain a general cumulative average of 1.00 or better.

c. Maintain a 1.00 average in the major, minor and the profes-
sional education sequence.

d. Complete the English Qualifying Examination successfully.

Students who fail to meet the foregoing requirements will not be
admitted to practice teaching and will be placed on probation in the
teacher education program.

Students who fail to remove deficiencies with respect to these re-
quirements promptly will be asked to withdraw from the teacher
education program.

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS

Coleridge A. Braithwaite^ Chairman
L. Allen Pyke Phillip. G. Hampton

Aims

The Department of Fine Arts provides opportunity for work in
music and the graphic arts for students who have special interests
and abilities in these fields and for those who seek an intelligent un-
derstanding of the arts as a vital element in general education.

Specifically, the aims of the offerings in music are: (1) to provide
opportunities for all students to develop an appreciation of music and

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 59

musical productions, and through participation in general music
activities to exercise such talents as they have; (2) to develop those
students who show interest and aptitude to the point of competence
needed for participation in the college band and in the choir.

The courses in graphic arts are intended: (1) to provide the gen-
eral student an understanding and appreciation of art which are es-
sential to rounded living; (2) to enable students of elementary edu-
cation and home economics to develop facility and skills in adapting
art materials to functional ends in the school and home.

Offerings

To realize the foregoing aims of the Department of Fine Arts of-
fers art and music appreciation courses in the general curriculum. The
department offers also the methods in art and music to satisfy special
subject requirements in these areas for prospective elementary school
teachers. In addition, this department cooperates with the Division
of Home Economics to provide the semi-specialized preparation in
art needed by students in the areas of child development, clothing and
textiles, and foods, nutrition, and institutional management.

Music Activities

The Department of Fine Arts welcomes the cooperation of stu-
dents. Direction of all music organizations on the campus is a re-
sponsibility of this department. All students who have the interest and
ability are invited to contribute to the success of these organizations.
Persons may enroll in the band, choir, and glee clubs. Upon recom-
mendation of the chairman, such students may receive a maximum
of one quarter hour of non-academic credit in music for each quarter
of successful participation. They may be granted, also, a maximum
of five participation points per year.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Theodore A. Wright, Sr., Chairman

Ella W. Fisher Albert E. Frazier

Geraldine T. Hooper

The essential aim of the Department of Health and Physical Edu-
cation is to afford professional training for pre-service and in-service
teachers of health and physical education in the elementary and sec-
ondary school. A parallel aim is advisement. On the basis of clearly
defined criteria, the department encourages potentially qualified stu-
dents to undertake professional training in this field. Those who ap-
pear less well qualified are guided away from the field. A third aim
is to provide for all students instruction in the basic principles of
health and recreational activity needed for wholesome living.

In pursuance of the foregoing aims this department offers instruc-
tion in basic concepts and activities of health and physical education

60 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

as an essential phase of the general curriculum. The department of-
fers also a minor sequence which provides limited preparation for
prospective teachers and workers in public and private recreational
facilities.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES

All freshmen and sophomores are required to attend gymnasium
classes two hours each week, the satisfactory completion of this work
being a prerequisite for graduation. With the consent of the chair-
man of the Department of Health and Physical Education, boxing,
wrestling, football, basketball, tennis or track and field sports may be
elected by students in place of gymnasium classes. But this privilege
is granted only to those who are regular in attendance at squad
practice and only during the season of the sport in which they are
participating. ALL STUDENTS MUST WEAR THE REGULA-
TION UNIFORM AT EACH MEETING OF THE CLASS, OR
CREDIT WILL NOT BE GIVEN.

J. Randolph Fisher, Acting Chairman

Beulah V. Farmer* Juanita Sellers

Timothy C. Meyers Luetta B. Upshur

Althea Morton, French

The aim of the Department of Languages and Literature is to help
the student become proficient in oral and written language, and to
help him develop an appreciation for good literature.

A student who has successfully pursued English as his major sub-
ject should have some power to discriminate between that which is
genuinely great and that which is less great in literature. He should
have an intelligent acquaintance with a fair number of English mas-
terpieces. He should have some facility, taste, and understanding in

secondary school.

*On leave, Spring Quarter, 1954.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 61

expression, and some idea of the main trends of English and Ameri-
can thought.

As to French, specifically, the objectives are: (1) to develop a
working knowledge of French so that the student will be fairly pro-
ficient in the mechanics of writing and speaking the language, and
(2) to develop a reading knowledge of French which will enable
the student to read the language with reasonable comprehension and
ease.

PLAN OF STUDY

All freshman students are given a placement test in English. Those
passing the test enter Humanities 101 ; those who fail are placed in non-
credit groups according to the score made in the test. If at the end
of the quarter a student passes the test and has done creditable work,
he is given credit for his work and is allowed to take Humanities 102.
Students are required to pass the test before they receive credit for
their work. Students who show a very high proficiency may be al-
lowed to begin the freshman work with Humanities 102.

A student majoring in English Language and Literature will com-
plete fifty-five quarter hours in language, composition, literature, and
speech offered by the Department of English. One taking a minor in
English will complete forty-five quarter hours. Not more than one
course in composition may be taken at a time. Specific course re-
quirements for the prospective teacher of English in the secondary
school are listed under the Department of Education.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

E. J. Dean, Chairman
Blanton E. Black William J. Hollo way

Joan L. Gordon Amjogollo E. Peacock

W. E. Griffin Elson K. Williams

Good citizenship is the supreme goal of the social sciences. To be
able citizens, students should have knowledge of human and cultural
backgrounds and relationships. This essential knowledge comes
through study of history, economics, sociology, political science, and
other social sciences.

The Department of Social Sciences contributes to the realization of
good citizenship by fostering three aims of higher education: (1) by
assisting students to attain those competencies and attitudes essential
to all persons in a world of interdependent relationships; (2) by pre-
paring students for advanced study in fields such as social work, eco-
nomics, and history; (3) by preparing students for teaching the social
studies in the secondary school.

THE CHOICE OF A MAJOR

In conformance with the foregoing aims this department provides
two curricula, each of which leads to the B.S. degree with a major
in social sciences. The program for persons who plan to teach social
studies in the secondary school is listed under the Department of Edu-
cation. The following curriculum is designed for those who definitely
do not wish to qualify for a certificate to teach in the secondary school,
but who plan to enter graduate or professional training in the law,
social work, economics, or public service. Students are cautioned that
they should exercise great care in deciding which curriculum to fol-
low. In any event, both social sciences majors and others who consider
transferring to this field should consult the chairman of the Depart-
ment of Social Sciences before making a decision.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 65

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The department discourages substitutions for the required courses
in the major field. When such approval is granted, it must be reviewed
and approved by both the Director of Arts and Sciences and the Dean
of Faculty before becoming effective.

Prerequisites to Comprehensive Examination and/or Practice
Teaching in Social Sciences

In order to be eligible to take the comprehensive examination and/
or engage in practice teaching, a major in the social sciences must:

1. Have no deficiencies in the major field.

2. Successfully complete the English qualifying examination.

3. Be classified as a senior in the college, and have successfully
completed 40 hours of required social science, including 10 hours
of United States History, Principles of Economics, Introduction
to Sociology, and Social Science Seminar.

4. Have the approval of the Chairman of the Social Science De-
partment.

DIVISION OF HOME ECONOMICS

Evanel R. Terrell, Director
Martha M. Avery

MOLLIE N. CURTRIGHT

Jane Enty
Zelia Owens

Curricula in the Division of Home Economics afford training lead-
ing to the professional degree in the areas of clothing and textiles;
foods, nutrition, and institution management; and child development.

The program is directed toward two major objectives. The first
of these is that of making a worthy and significant contribution to
the general education of the student through a sequence of courses
required by all as the core curriculum for common learning. The core
curriculum has three aims: (1) development of the student as a per-
son, (2) preparation for family life, and (3) preparation for the res-
ponsibilities of citizenship in its broadest sense. The second major
objective is that of providing effective preparation for the student to
enter and advance with assurance and competence in one of the va-
rious professions in home economics.

In cooperation with the Department of Business, this division offers,
also, two-year terminal courses in dressmaking and tailoring and food
production and cookery. These courses are of particular interest for
persons who are already engaged in business, or planning to enter
business, but who cannot now plan to remain four years in college.
A person completing the terminal course is granted a certificate of
proficiency.

Any student who plans to enter the field of home economics should
confer with the director of this division before beginning registration.

DIVISION OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES

W. B. Nelson^ Director*

Henry F. Bowman Sol Harden William T. Perry

Leroy W. Brown Eugene L. Isaac Charles Philson

Arthur C. Carter Rutherford E. Lockette*

Frank D. Tharpe, Acting Director

The purpose of the Division of Trades and Industries is to train
men for employment ; ( 1 ) as mechanics and technicians in the sev-
eral skilled trades and in industry; (2) as teachers of vocational sub-
jects and industrial arts in the secondary school; (3) as construction
foremen and contractors. ,

CURRICULA

To achieve the foregoing aims, this division offers two types of
curricula. To prepare persons as teachers of vocational subjects
or industrial arts,* or as technicians, skilled tradesmen, and contrac-
tors, this division offers specialized training leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science. 1 The student may choose a major in industrial
arts, in industrial education (general shopwork), or in trade and in-
dustrial education. In addition, this division offers a four year degree
program in building construction.

To earn the B.S. degree in this division, a student must satisfac-
torily complete considerable practical work in a trade. Each major in
trades and industries normally takes drafting concurrently with some
of the trade work.

Programs for teachers of individual subjects are listed under the Department of Education.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Attendance at this college is a privilege, not a right, and students
are expected at all times to conduct themselves in a proper and hon-
orable manner. The following faculty rules have been enacted; stu-
dents are required to familiarize themselves with these rulings and
any subsequently made effective.

The right is reserved by the Regents, Administration and Faculty
to make changes at any time in requirements for admission, curricu-
lum, fees, or any rules and regulations.

ATTENDANCE

In classroom exercises, laboratory, related requirements, and shop
work, Savannah State College provides for students the facilities,
materials, staff, and conditions of training, learning, and creative
activity. It is essential that each student share fully in the educational
experiences thus provided. Therefore, to help students towards realiz-
ing the greatest possible benefit from opportunities here afforded, the
College has set up general attendance requirements. These require-
ments are detailed in the Student Handbook, which may be obtained
upon request at the Office of the Coordinator of Student Personnel
Services. When a student enrolls in residence courses, he accepts full
responsibility for informing himself as to the meaning of these regu-
lations and for strict adherence to the attendance requirements.

THE GRADING SYSTEM

The College uses letters to indicate quality of academic work. "A"
is the highest grade; "D" the lowest passing grade. Grade distinctions
are as follows :

The grade "A" denotes excellent work.

The grade "B" denotes good work.

The grade "C" denotes average work; satisfactory.

74 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

The grade "D" denotes poor work. Though accepted as a passing
mark, "D" does not represent satisfactory achievement, and is not ac-
cepted toward a student's major or minor. Like the higher grades, it is
final and cannot be raised by subsequent work or examination. The
entire course may, however, be repeated for a higher grade, upon
recommendation of the instructor. At no time, however, may credit
be received more than once for the same course.

The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet mini-
mum requirements of the course. A student may convert an F into a
higher grade only by repeating the course.

The grade "I" indicates that the student has not completed the
work of the course. The "I" denotes further:

a. That the student remained in the class until near the end of the
quarter.

b. That, though incomplete, the student's work while he remained
in the class was of D grade or better.

c. That either by examination or additional work the student may
complete the course during the next quarter.

The grade "W" indicates that the student officially withdrew from
the class before the end of the quarter. This grade carries the follow-
ing distinctions:

a. "W" indicates that the student has been in the class such few
times, (in general, fewer than ten class periods) that the teacher
can give no qualitative grade.

b. "WP" indicates that the student has attended class ten or more
times and that he was doing satisfactory work when he officially
withdrew.

c. "WF" indicates that the student has attended class ten or more
times, and that his work was below minimum requirements when
he officially withdrew.

CHANGES IN GRADES

Once an instructor has reported a grade to the Registrar, the grade
may be changed only under the following conditions :

1. An instructor may change an I (Incomplete) to any grade within
the quarter when the student is next enrolled in residence. An I
automatically becomes F if it is not removed within the quarter
when the student is next enrolled in residence.

2. An instructor may change any grade to another grade within
one month after the initial report, upon * presenting to the Dean
of Faculty conclusive documentary proof that the previous grade
was reported through an error in transcription.

QUALITY POINTS

The value of each grade in quality is as follows: a grade of "A"
entitles the student to 3 quality points per credit hour; a grade of "B"

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 75

entitles the student to 2 quality points per credit hour; a grade of "C,"
1 quality point per credit hour; a grade of "D," no quality points. For
a final grade of "F," 1 quality point per credit hour will be deducted.
For example, if a student receives a grade of "F" in a 5 quarter hour
course, he receives quarter hours and minus 5 quality points. It is a
requirement of the College that every student earn at least as many
quality points as quarter hours required by his curriculum before he
shall be granted a degree from the institution.

CALCULATING A STUDENT'S SCHOLASTIC AVERAGE

A student's scholastic average is computed by dividing the number
of quarter hours academic credit completed with passing and failing
(final) grades into the number of quality points earned. When a stu-
dent repeats a course, the credit and quality points previously earned
in the course are automatically cancelled in computing the student's
scholastic average.* The grade and quality points earned upon
repetition of the course supersede the previous grade and points, and
are final. When the grade F is a final grade, the nominal credit of the
course together with minus one ( 1) quality point per hour of
nominal credit is counted in calculating the cumulative average.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

A student will be classified as a freshman, sophomore, junior, or
senior, according to the number of quarter hours of work that he has
completed with an average grade of C. A student who has completed
fewer than 37 hours and fewer than 37 quality points in courses
counted toward graduation will be classified as a freshman. A student
will be entitled to register as a sophomore when he has completed with
an average grade of C at least 37 hours; as a junior when he has com-
pleted with a like average at least 84 hours; and as a senior when he
has completed with a like average at least 131 hours.

The classification under which a student registers at the beginning
of the academic year will continue throughout that year.

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

Savannah State College is operated for students who demonstrate
ability and disposition to profit by college work. Minimum standards
of scholastic achievement and regulations governing retention are as
follows :

1. Any student at the end of 45 quarter hours of college work must
have maintained a minimum average of 0.60. Failing to do so,
the student will be placed on probation for one quarter. During
this probationary period the student must bring his average up
to 0.60. If he fails to do so he will be asked to withdraw from the
institution.

2. At the completion of 90 quarter hours of work the student shall

V A11 courses and grades of a student are entered upon the student's permanent record,
retained thereon, and certified on his transcript.

76 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

have maintained an average of 0.90. Failing to do so, he will be
placed on probation for one quarter. At the end of this period he
must have achieved the minimum average of 0.90, or he will be
asked to withdraw from the institution.

3. A student who has completed 135 quarter hours of college work
shall have maintained an average of 1.00. There will be no pe-
riod of probation for students on this level. When a student's
cumulative average at this level falls below 1.00 he will be asked
to withdraw from the institution.

4. Any student whose scholastic average is unusually low during any
quarter's work, may be asked to withdraw from the institution.

ACTION ON SCHOLASTIC DEFICIENCIES

1. At the end of each quarter the Registrar shall submit to the
Dean of Faculty the names of students who have failed to meet
minimum scholarship requirements.

2. The Dean of Faculty shall study the records of students so
listed and recommend to the Faculty or the Administrative
Council the action to be taken in each case.

3. A student dropped for poor scholarship shall be notified in per-
son by the Dean of Faculty. In instances when the student is
under 21 years of age, a special letter will be written to par-
ents or guardian explaining the status of the student.

4. Division directors, departmental heads, and the Registrar shall
be informed of all students in this category.

RECOGNITION FOR EXCELLENCE IN SCHOLARSHIP

Persons who have not been subject to disciplinary action while
earning superior grades, and who likewise, have not incurred any aca-
demic deficiency, are eligible for honors status as here indicated :

1. Students who maintain an average of B in not less than a nor-
mal load during a given quarter are eligible for listing on the
College Honor Roll.

2. Students who maintain an average of 2.50, or higher, on a full
program in a quarter will have their names placed on the Dean's
List for the following quarter.

3. Students maintaining an average of 2.50 or higher, with no grade
below C during any quarter shall not be required to adhere to the
class attendance regulations during the following quarter.

4. Students who maintain an average of B during any quarter may
secure permission to take additional courses during the following
quarter, the total not to exceed twenty hours.

GRADUATION HONORS

If a student maintains an average of 2.00 during his four years in
college, he will be graduated Cum Laude. If a student maintains an
average of 2.50 or above, he will be graduated Magna Cum Laude.
If a student maintains an average of 3.00, he will be graduated
Summa Cum Laude. A student must have matriculated at Savannah

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 77

State College for at least three years to receive his degree Summa
Cum Laude, two years for Magna Cum Laude, and two years for
Cum Laude.

ADVISERS TO STUDENTS

Each student is assigned to a member of the faculty for advisement
during the freshman and sophomore years. In the case of senior
level students, the professor in charge of the student's major con-
centration automatically becomes his adviser. The duties of the
adviser are to assist the student in selecting his subjects, to aid
him in interpreting the requirements, to guide him in important mat-
ters. In case of any proposed change in his program, a student should
consult his adviser, who will judge the reason for the change and
make recommendation to the Dean of Faculty. The responsibility for
selection of courses rests, in the final analysis, upon the student. It is
the primary duty of the student to meet the requirements of his cur-
riculum, so that he may not in his senior year find himself unable to
graduate. A request from the adviser to the student for conference
should be promptly complied with.

STUDENT LOAD

Under ordinary circumstances, a student may not in any quarter
register for an academic credit load exceeding the normal require-
ment of his classification and major. As indicated under Recognition
for Excellence in Scholarship section 4, exceptions are, however,
permissible to superior students. Also, a candidate for graduation
who has no scholastic deficiency may enroll for credit in one addi-
tional course, the total load not to exceed twenty quarter hours, if
lack of such course would hinder the student from graduating on
schedule. In any event, a student will be allowed no credit for an
overload unless such overload has the formal, express approval of
both the student's adviser and the Dean of Faculty.

When illness or necessary outside work or other valid reason pre-
vents a student from devoting full time to study, he may reduce his
academic load upon recommendation of his adviser and approval by
the Dean of Faculty.

All regular and all terminal students are required to pursue courses
in the prescribed order. Special students will pursue the courses agreed
upon in conference with their advisers. In case of temporary irregular-
ity due to failure, or other causes, the student shall select such courses
as will enable him to conform to his curriculum as quickly as possible.

Deficiencies in required courses take precedence over other subjects.
Any student who has a D grade or an F grade must register first in
that course.*

STUDENT CONDUCT

Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all

*If such course is required in the major or the minor or the professional education sequence
or in a special subject field.

78 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

times to exemplify a due respect for order, morality, and the rights of
others.

The College reserves the right to exclude at any time any student
whose conduct is deemed improper or prejudicial to the welfare of
the College community.

PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWAL

Students who, for any reason, plan to withdraw from the institu-
tion are required to file formal notice of such intent.

1. A student will go to the office of the personnel dean and se-
cure forms for withdrawal. When the forms have been properly
filled out, the student will take them to his advisor and to his
instructors. The advisor and instructors will initial the form
and return them to the student. The student must then take the
forms to the Registrar, who will send notice of the withdrawal
to the Comptroller.*

2. In cases of emergency when the student is required to leave
school before it is possible to file formal notice, the student
should write or have someone write to the personnel dean for
permission to withdraw.

3. Students who withdraw without giving formal notice will forfeit
claims for any refunds and will automatically become subject to
the penalties applicable to excessive absence from classes.
