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 profes-
sional 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 guidance
students receive from pre-college counselling to placement after gradu-
ation, 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 in-
cludes :
(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, women'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 pro-
gram of his own choice that will prepare him to pursue successfully a
socially useful livelihood, to live a spiritually enriched life, and to par-
ticipate effectively in a democratic society.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 15
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 education and
training of Colored Students. By the same Act, the Governor was em-
powered to appoint "five fit and discreet persons, residents 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 prescribe 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 management
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 Trustees of the Uni-
versity, and the Chancellor of the University of Georgia was given gen-
eral supervision of the school.
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 in-
structors. 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, Geor-
gia, near Thunderbolt. For the permanent organization, the Commis-
sion selected a faculty consisting of a president, instructors in English,
mathematics, natural science, a superintendent of the mechanical de-
partment, 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
16 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
(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 summer
school was conducted, June 26- August 4, 1922. In 1925 the General
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 appointed 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 System
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 administra-
tion.
During the administration of Dr. Benjamin F. Hubert, the following
buildings were added to the physical plant: Adams Hall (1931), Willie
Powell Laboratory School ( 1932) , shops for masonry and auto mechan-
ics (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 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. Three temporary 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 Center.
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 Geor-
gia 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, de-
stroyed by fire in 1951, has been completely rebuilt; the College appro-
priation 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 pre-
pared. An extensive building program was begun in 1951; a sewage
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 17
disposal system, a central heating plant, and a new dormitory for men
have already been completed. In addition, Hammond Hall has been
enlarged, administrative offices in Meldrim Hall have been relocated
and modernized, and the annex to Willcox Gymnasium has been com-
pleted.
Location
The College is located in Chatham County, adjacent to the town of
Thunderbolt and 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 Education
of the State of Georgia.
Credit
Credit for course work is stated in terms of quarter hours. One quar-
ter 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.
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 buildings.
Among the more outstanding are the attractively designed and mod-
ernly constructed Camilla Hubert Hall, housing one hundred and sev-
enty-five women; Adams Hall, the dining hall, serving five hundred
students at a time; Meldrim Hall, consisting of administrative offices,
the auditorium, and some classrooms; Willcox Gymnasium, headquar-
ters of the Physical Education Department ; and Parsons Hall, contain-
ing 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 individual
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.
18 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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 developing
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 per-
sonal 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 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 throughout 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.

assists in forwarding accurate information to the Veterans Adminis-
tration. Throughout the year he counsels and informs veterans about
regulations and directives peculiar to their status.

room and board from their own funds until such time as subsistence
payments are received.
Veterans are urged to report personally to the Veterans Secretary at

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 of Regents has also established a definition
of legal resident which reads as follows :
"To be considered a legal resident of Georgia for the purpose of reg-
istering 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) is 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.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 29
"(b) If over 21 years of age, that bona fide residence 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 dor-
mitories are required to eat in the college dining hall. The charge for
room, board, and laundry is $158.00 per quarter for women students
and $161.00 per quarter for men students. 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 live 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.

issued at the request of a student. A fee of $1.00 will be charged for
each additional transcript.
Withdrawal and Refund of Fees
A student who wishes to withdraw must secure permission to with-
draw from the college. The procedure for withdrawal is as follows :
1 . The student must secure forms for withdrawal from the Office of
Student Personnel Services and confer with the Director of Student
Personnel Services.
2. The student will then confer with the Dean of Faculty and secure
his endorsement of the request for withdrawal.
3. The student will then take the request for withdrawal to the Reg-
istrar for final action.
Students ill at home or otherwise not able to follow this procedure
should write or have someone write to the Director of Student Personnel
Services, 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 ma-
triculation fee and non-resident fee are subject to the Refund Policy
of the University System adopted by the Board of Regents, January 20,
1947 as follows:
"For students who withdraw during the first week after registration,
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 no later than the end of the third week following registra-
tion, a refund of 40% may be granted: for students who withdraw
30 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
during the fourth week following the scheduled registration date, a
refund of 20% will be granted. No refund will be made to students
who withdraw after the end of the fourth week following registra-
tion."
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 dormitories must secure a permit
to withdraw from the personnel dean. This permit when submitted
with the dining hall meal book 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 carefully:
1. No student should attempt to enter Savannah State College unless
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 thereafter be
credited to the monthly account.

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.

34 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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, Physical Education, and Recreation
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 common general
education curriculum here designated the general curriculum be-
came 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:
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.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 35
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 exploring
their vocational and avocational interests and aptitudes, to the end
that they may progress toward socially useful and personally satisfy-
ing careers.
5. Sound Health The aim is help to students in acquiring knowledge
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 con-
centration (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.

minor courses have been cleared and the English proficiency and major
comprehensive requirements are met.
Each prospective candidate for graduation is required to submit a
formal application for the degree. The date for filing the application
in the office of the Registrar is listed in the academic calendar.
All requirements for graduation must be completed within eight
calendar years. The college reserves the right to disallow credit earned
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
ten departments: biology, business, chemistry, economics, education,
fine arts, health, physical education, and recreation, languages and
literature (English), mathematics and physics, and social sciences. In
general, students take a major in one department and a minor in
another department. This combination of specialization 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
Ira Jones Joseph H. Wortham
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 den-
tistry, medicine, and nursing; (3) to prepare persons to teach the bio-
logical sciences in the secondary school or to continue study on the
graduate level.
Plan Of Study
Natural Science 111, 112 are designed for non-science majors to
realize the aim stated in item (1) foregoing. Biology 201, 202, and
204 are intended as basic courses for students who plan to major in
one of the sciences, or who desire training preparatory to either the
study of dentistry or graduate study. For persons who plan to teach
biology or another of the sciences in the secondary school, this depart-
ment collaborating with the departments of chemistry and mathe-
matics and physics provides a general science major. The curriculum
is outlined under the Department of Education.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
Ben Ingersoll, Chairman
Albertha E. Boston Marcelle E. Rhodriquez
1 William H. Bowens Henry S. Torrence
The Department of Business has as its primary functions the prepa-
ration of all its students for gainful participation in the business world.
The department aims, therefore, through its curricular offerings and
through counselling of individual students, to approach the following
goals: (1) preparation of students for employment in business enter-
prises as bookkeepers, accountants, secretaries, stenographers, and sales-
people, and (2) preparation of students for establishment, operation,
management, and ownership of business enterprises; and (3) prepara-
tion of teachers of business and distributive education subjects in the
secondary schools.
To realize these aims the 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 either accounting or general business or secretarial
science, without the minor requirement, or (2) Business Education,
including 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- includ-
ing 10 quarter hours of laboratory practice, above the sophomore year.
All business students are required to take the course in office ma-
chines.
Persons desiring to become certified as teachers of business and dis-
tributive education subjects in the secondary school must meet require-
ments set up by the Division of Teacher Education and Certification.
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 busi-
ness subjects is listed under the Department of Education.
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 stu-
dent prior to his undertaking any specialized work. The remaining 16
credit hours are given to necessary courses introductory to the special-
ized curricula of the junior and senior year.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
C. V. Clay, Chairman Marion D. Mendenhall
The work in the Department of Chemistry is intended to serve four
purposes. ( 1 ) It provides a thorough foundation in the general courses
for students who seek an understanding of the methods and achieve-
ments of the chemist. (2) It provides the needed semi-specialized prep-
aration for students who are majoring in home economics and trades
and industries. (3) It affords training for persons who plan to teach
science in the secondary school. (4) It provides pre-professional train-
ing for students who intend to study dentistry, medicine, etc., and for
those who plan to enter graduate school.
PLAN OF STUDY
Students who plan to major in chemistry should confer with the
department chairman before beginning their study programs. Chem-
istry majors are expressly cautioned not to enroll in the science survey
courses. The following are normally prescribed for the major: Chem-
istry 101-102, 103, 201-202, 301-302, 401-402. Students taking a minor
in chemistry should complete: Chemistry 101-102, 103, 301-302.
For those who plan to teach science in the secondary school, this
department collaborates with the departments of biology and mathe-
matics and physics in providing a general science major. The curricu-
lum is listed under the Department of Education.

ECONOMICS CLUB
The Economics Club is primarily an organization of students concen-
trating, as major or minors, in economics. It is designed to supplement
the regular class work by furnishing the student an opportunity to in-
crease his knowledge and enhance his appreciation of economic theory,
literature, and practice. The purpose of the club is to provide its mem-
bers the opportunity ( 1 ) to hear authorities discuss significant economic
questions, and (2) to participate in full and free discussion of economic
theories, problems, and literature under competent direction.

The Department of Education serves three major purposes. ( 1 ) In
cooperation with the College-wide Teacher Education Committee and
the State Committee on Cooperation in Teacher Education, it spear-
heads the process of continuous planning, experimentation, and evalu-
ation of the total teacher training program. (2) It assumes chief re-
sponsibility in the selection, guidance, and training of students for the
work of teaching in the elementary and secondary schools mainly in
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 49
the schools of Georgia. (3) For persons who plan to become principals
and supervisors, it provides an adequate foundation for advanced study
on the graduate level.
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, health, physical education, and recreation,
industrial arts, industrial education, mathematics, and social studies.
A graduate who has completed one of these programs may be recom-
mended 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 relationships.
(5) He should be able to think and plan effectively.
GENERAL PLAN OF STUDY
The first two years of teacher training comprise mainly general edu-
cation. Work in the areas of art, the biological and physical sciences,
English composition and speech, general college and vocational orien-
tation, mathematics, health and physical education, music, and the
social sciences is included.
During the first two or three weeks of the sophomore year, the stu-
dent participates in the September Field Experience. This is an explora-
tory assignment, preliminary to formal initiation into the teacher train-
ing 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 elemen-
tary or the secondary school:
Ed. 216. Introduction to Teaching
Ed. 317. Human Growth and Learning
50 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
Ed. 429. Curriculum and Teaching
Ed. 440 or 441. Directed Student Teaching
Ed. 445 or 446. Seminar
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 to the Department of Education an application for admission
to the teacher education program. Applications will be screened, and
applicants will be notified individually of the action 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 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 on die application.
ADMISSION TO PRACTICE TEACHING
After admission to the teacher education program, students will be
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 professional
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 promptly deficiencies in these require-
ments will be asked to withdraw from the teacher education program.

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS
Coleridge A. Braithwaite, Chairman
Barbara J. Cobb
Phillip J. Hampton
Farnese H.
Florence F. Harrington
Herbert C. Harris
Lumpkin
The Department of Fine Arts encourages students to find in the
several areas of music and the graphic and plastic arts an appreci-
ation of aesthetic values in general education and opportunities for
the development of their special interests and abilities in these fields.
In addition to the general objectives in keeping with the stated
philosophy of the college, the Department stresses specific objectives
in the areas of music and art.
The courses in graphic and plastic arts are intended to: (1) provide
students with the skills and experiences necessary for teaching art in
62 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
elementary or secondary schools; (2) prepare students essentially for
pure, creative production; (3) prepare students for advanced study
in the various professional fields of art; (4) provide electives as a
contribution to the total growth of students; and (5) enrich the com-
munity through art activities such as exhibitions, movies, lectures,
and art clubs.
The courses in music lead to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
music with a major in voice, piano, or another instrument. Training
in the major program is designed primarily to prepare students to
perform on the concert stage, on radio, in television, and in motion
pictures. The major program is designed also as a foundation for
further study for careers as music librarians, publishers, booking
agents, producers, newspaper critics, and the like. Students are pre-
pared also to pursue advanced degrees in graduate schools.
The music courses outside the major program are intended mainly
for students in elementary education, who must satisfy special subject
requirements for teacher certification.
It is to be expected that in all aspects of the music program the
students will be made aware of their tremendous responsibilities in
enriching the lives in their communities by their talents, skills, and
musical initiative. The creative impulse is strongly encouraged; and
continuing emphasis is placed upon musical activities which develop
the entire personality by making use of all physical and mental re-
sources necessary to performance, whether it be in the instrumental
or vocal areas, and in exercising intelligent judgment in the areas of
musical creativity and musical psychology.
Requirements for Majors in Music
The major program in music, consisting of sixty-seven quarter
hours, comprises the following requirements:
Vocal:
1. Four years of satisfactory participation in the Choral Society or
Women's Ensemble, the first two years with academic credit.
2. One year of satisfactory participation in the band, without
credit.
Instrumental:
1. Four years of satisfactory participation in the bands (concert
and marching), the first two years for academic credit.
2. One year of satisfactory participation in the Choral Society or
Women's Ensemble, without credit.
All majors:
1. At least two years of piano, elementary or advanced, with
academic credit.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 63
2. 'Four years in an applied major area. (If the student is capable
of selecting piano as the applied major, the first two years are
taken without credit, and the piano courses are replaced with
credit courses in other instrumental or vocal areas.)
3. In addition to the prescribed courses, a senior recital in the
applied major area is required in the spring quarter of the senior
year.
4. All majors in music are required to take ninety-nine quarter
hours of courses in general education, including considerable
work in foreign languages (French and German) and five hours
in the history of the United States and Georgia.
5. Twenty-five hours are available for electives, to enable the stu-
dents to get a minor program in another area.
Admission to the Major Program in Music
Applicants for admission to the major program should have at least
two years of previous musical training in the vocal or instrumental
areas. The Department will determine by auditions at the time of
registration the applicant's ability as a performer on an instrument
or as a vocalist, and also the applicant's theoretical knowledge. This
information will serve as a guide to the Department in helping the
applicant to plan his college program.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 65
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION,
AND RECREATION
Raymond W. Hopson, Chairman
Geraldine H. Abernathy Ella W. Fisher
Albert E. Frazier Richard K. Washington
Theodore A. Wright, Sr.
The essential aim of the Department of Health, Physical Education,
and Recreation is to afford professional training for pre-service and in-
service teachers of health, physical education and recreation in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools. A parallel aim is advisement. On the
basis of clearly defined criteria, the department encourages potentially
qualified students to undertake professional training in this field. Those
who appear 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 provides a four-
fold program of instruction. For students who plan to become profes-
sional workers in the field of health, physical education, and recreation
either in schools or in other agencies the department offers a se-
quence of specialized training leading to the B.S. degree with a major
in health, physical education, and recreation. The curriculum is listed
under caption of the Department of Education. In addition, for all
students enrolled in teacher education curricula at Savannah State
College, this department provides basic training to prepare the prospec-
tive teacher for supervision of one or more phases of a comprehensive
health, physical education, and recreation program in the schools of
Georgia. This phase of the work is provided either in selected, special-
ized courses or in the minor sequence which is hereinafter listed. Fur-
ther, for all students enrolled at the college this department provides
instruction in the fundamental concepts and activities of health, physi-
cal education, and recreation as an essential phase of general education.
Finally, this department serves the recreational needs of the entire col-
lege community by providing instruction and leadership in the college
intramural program.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES
Health and Activity Classes
During the freshman and sophomore years all students are required
to participate in health and physical education activities.
The satisfactory completion of this work is a prerequisite for gradu-
ation. Within the required six quarter hours, one quarter comprises the
Overview of Basic Health Practices and the Standard First Aid Course ;
one quarter is swimming, and four quarters are seasonal activities, in-
door and outdoor games, gymnastics, etc. With the consent of the Chair-
man of the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation,
66
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
boxing, wrestling, football, basketball, tennis, or track and field sports
may be elected by students in place of gymnasium classes. But this privi-
lege is granted only to those who are regular in attendance at squad
practice and only during the season in which they are participating.
All students must wear the regulation uniform at each meeting of the
class, or credit will not be given.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
A minimum of 195 quarter hours, excluding the general health and
physical education and the orientation, are required for the B.S. degree
with a major in health, physical education, and recreation. The require-
ments are distributed as follows :

DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE
J. Randolph Fisher, Acting Chairman

Mary Ella Clark Timothy C. Meyers Luetta C. Upshur
Howard M. Jason Althea V. Morton
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 subject
should have some power to discriminate between that which is genu-
inely great and that which is less great in literature. He should have
] On leave, February 8-June 1, 1958.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 67
an intelligent acquaintance with a fair number of English masterpieces.
He should have some facility, taste, and understanding in expression,
and some idea of the main trends of English and American thought.
As to French and Spanish, objectives are : ( 1 ) to develop a working
knowledge so that the student will be fairly proficient in the mechanics
of writing and speaking the language, and ( 2 ) to 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 allowed 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 require-
ments for the prospective teacher of English in the secondary school are
listed under the Department of Education.

PROGRAMS FOR MATHEMATICS MAJORS AND MINORS,
GENERAL SCIENCE MINORS, AND PHYSICS MINORS
Students who expect to teach mathematics in the secondary school
should follow the mathematics teachers program which is listed under
the Department of Education. Students who desire to major in mathe-
matics but do not intend to teach should enroll in curriculum n. All
students majoring in mathematics are required to complete a minor,
preferably in physics or some other natural science. Students enrolled
in curriculum n will complete 45 quarter hours in mathematics above
Mathematics 107. The minor in mathematics will consist of the follow-
ing courses: Math 200, 201, 209, 307, 308 and 5 additional hours of
mathematics on the senior level.
A general science minor providing minimum preparation for teach-
ing in a second field comprises Chemistry 101-102, Biology 201, 204,
and Physics 201-202. Students majoring in biology and chemistry may
not pursue this general science minor.
The Department of Mathematics and Physics offers, at present, a
minor in physics, for which the minimum requirement is twenty-four
quarter hours as follows :
Physics 201-202 General Physics 12 Hours
Physics 400 Modern Physics 4 Hours
and eight hours to be chosen from the following
Physics 306, 307, 308 and 312.
It is preferable that the physics minor be taken in combination with
a major requiring at least 10 quarter hours of chemistry, 5 quarter
hours of college algebra, 5 quarter hours of trigonometry and 10 quar-
ter hours of differential and integral calculus. The minor should begin
with Physics 201.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
E. J. Dean, Chairman
Blanton E. Black Loreese E. Davis Nelson R. Freeman
Joan L. Gordon William E. Griffin Amjogollo E. Peacock
Alonzo T. Stephens
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.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 71
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 undertake graduate or professional training in 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.
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 com-
pleted 40 hours of required social science, including 10 hours of
United States History, Principles of Economics, and Introduction
to Sociology.
4. Have the approval of the Chairman of the Social Science Depart-
ment.

DIVISION OF HOME ECONOMICS
Evanel R. Terrell, Director
Martha M. Avery Mollie N. Curtright
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 to enhance 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 person, (2) preparation for family life, and (3) prepara-
tion for the responsibilities of citizenship in its broadest sense. The
second major objective is preparation of the student to enter and
advance with assurance and competence in one of the various profes-
sions 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 busi-
ness, 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.

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 honor-
able manner. The following faculty rules have been enacted; students
are required to familiarize themselves with these rulings and any sub-
sequently made effective.
The right is reserved by the Regents, Administration and Faculty to
make changes at any time in requirements for admission, curriculum,
fees, or any rules and regulations.
ATTENDANCE
In classroom exercises, laboratory, related requirements, and shop
work, Savannah State College provides for students the facilities, ma-
terials, staff, and conditions of training, learning, and creative activity.
It is essential that each student share fully in the educational experi-
ences thus provided. Therefore, to help students towards realizing the
greatest possible benefit from opportunities here afforded, the college
has set up general attendance requirements. These requirements are
detailed in the Student Handbook, which may be obtained upon request
at the Office of the Chairman of Student Personnel Services. When a
student enrolls in residence courses, he accepts full responsibility for
informing himself as to the meaning of these regulations 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.
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 rec-
ommendation 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 minimum
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.
116 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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 following
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"
entitles the student to 2 quality points per credit hour; a grade of "G,"
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
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 117
(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 repe-
tition 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
have maintained an average of 0.90. Failing to do so, he will be

118 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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 mini-
mum 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 person
by the Dean of Faculty. In instances when the student is under
2 1 years of age, a special letter will be written to parents or guard-
ian, 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 earn-
ing superior grades, and who, likewise, have not incurred any academic
deficiency, are eligible for honors status as here indicated :
1 . Students who maintain an average of B in not less than a normal
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 hours 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 State Col-
lege 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 counselling
during the freshman and sophomore years. In the case of senior level
students, the professor in charge of the student's major concentration
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 matters In case of any pro-
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 119
posed 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 curriculum, 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 requirement
of his classification and major. As indicated under Recognition for Ex-
cellence in Scholarship section 4, exceptions are permissible, however,
to superior students. Also a candidate for graduation who has no scho-
lastic deficiency may enroll for credit in one additional 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 stu-
dent 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 prevents
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. The Institutional Calendar lists dates for program changes.
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 courses.
Any student who earns a D or an F in a major, minor, professional
education, or special subject requirement must forthwith repeat the
course.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all
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
A student who wishes to withdraw must secure permission to with-
draw from the college. The procedure for withdrawal is as follows :
1. The student must secure forms for withdrawal from the Office of
Student Personnel and confer with the Director of Student Personnel.
120 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
2. The student will then confer with the Dean of Faculty and secure
his endorsement of the request for withdrawal.
3. The student will then take the request for withdrawal to the Reg-
istrar for final action.
Students ill at home or otherwise not able to follow this procedure
should write or have someone write to the Director of Student Person-
nel requesting permission to withdraw.
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.*
