By the same Act, the Governor was empowered to appoint "five fit and discreet persons, residents of the State, to be known as the Commission on School for Negro 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 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 commis- sion 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 University, and the Chancellor of the University of Georgia was given general supervision of the school. A preliminary session of the school was held between June 1, and August 1, 1891, at the Baxter Street School building in Athens, Georgia, by direction of the Commission to Chancellor Boggs. Richard R. Wright, the first principal, and three other instructors constituted the faculty. In the following year the school was relocated at its present site which is approximately five miles southeast of the Courthouse of Savannah, Georgia, partly in Savannah and partly in Thunderbolt. At this time the Commission referred to the institution as "The Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths." It selected a faculty consisting of Major Wright as President, instructors in English, mathe- matics, and natural sciences, a superintendent of the mechanical department, and a foreman of the farm. During the thirty years that Major Wright served as President, the enrollment increased from 8 to 585; the curriculum was built up to four years of high school training and a normal division; and training was begun in agriculture and the mechanical arts. Starting the school with 86 acres of land on which two buildings and a farm house were erected, Major Wright added four frame trade buildings, Meldrim Hall (1896), Hill Hall (1901), a dairy barn and creamery (1904), a shoe repair shop, laundry, and home economics building (1915). 18 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE Several changes were made during the presidency of C. G. Wiley (1921-1926) . During his first year of service, the Commission admitted young women as boarders. The first regular summer school was con- ducted between June 26, and August 4, 1922. In 1925 the General Assembly of Georgia changed the form of the governing body for the institution from a Commission with "perpetual succession" to a Board of Trustees with a four-year term of office. During the administration of the third President, Dr. Benjamin F. Hubert (1926-1947), the entire academic program was reorganized. The high school and normal departments 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 authori- ties in education which had been invited to make a study of the University System, placed the entire System under a Board of Regents. At that time the College began to offer degree programs with majors in English, the natural sciences, social sciences, and business admin- istration. Until 1947, the College served as the state land-grant institution for Negroes. In that year this function was assumed by Fort Valley State College. During the administration of President James A. Colston (1947- 1949), the faculty was strengthened and improvements were made in the physical plant. Among the programs that were launched at this time were the Alumni Scholarship Drive, Campus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week, Freshman Week, and the Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of student personnel services and public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio-visual aids laboratory were instituted under the leadership of President Colston. Dean W. K. Payne became acting president of the College on September 1, 1949. The Regents of the University System of Georgia changed the name of the College from Georgia State College to Savan- nah State College on January 18, 1950. Dr. Payne became the fifth President of the College on March 1, 1950; he served in this capacity until his death on July 26, 1963. At the beginning of Dr. Payne's administration, Savannah State College was granted membership in the American Council on Educa- tion. During the course of his administration the curriculum was ex- panded and improved and the institution was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition, the academic program of the College was organized under seven divisions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Technical Sciences, and Home Study. Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., became President of the College on No- vember 1, 1963. Under the leadership of Dr. Jordan rapid progress is being made in developing a building program which will provide additional modern facilities for the furtherance of a sound and well- SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 19 rounded educational program. Additional curricular improvements are underway. The enrollment of the college has increased significantly, and the faculty has been augmented and strengthened. Buildings and Grounds The campus, comprising one hundred and thirty-six acres, presents a setting of unique natural beauty. Among the thirty-six buildings are such recently completed structures as the library, the technical sciences building, Wiley Gymnasium, and a dormitory for one hundred young women. Among the buildings constructed during the administration of the first president, Major Richard R. Wright, which are still in use are Meldrim Hall (1896), Hill Hall (1901), and Hammond Hall (1915). All of these buildings have been extensively renovated since their erec- tion. Meldrim Hall, which had been burned, was rebuilt in 1926. Located in Meldrim Hall are administrative offices, and an auditorium ; Hill Hall houses the bookstore, snack bar, and post office; and Hammond Hall serves as a home economics building. 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. Two temporary buildings were erected during the administration of Mr. James A. Colston a fine arts building and a structure which served as a college center. In addition, an infirmary which was later renovated was constructed during the presidency of Mr. Colston. At the present time the college infirmary is a modern eighteen-bed struc- ture which is staffed by a full-time nurse and a physician. It provides for the needs of students who require treatment or confinement for minor illnesses. An extensive building program which began in 1951 during the administration of Dr. W. K. Payne is still in progress. Wright Hall (men's dormitory), a library, the technical science building, a central heating plant, and a sewage disposal system were completed. Con- struction was begun on a dormitory for women, which was completed in the summer of 1964. Herty Hall was remodeled and now is used for instruction in the natural sciences. Morgan Hall which once served as the trades and industrial building has been renovated and now houses the Division of Business. A four-unit, all-weather, lighted tennis court has been erected adjacent to the athletic field. 20 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE In the fall of 1965, the Board of Regents approved the following names for buildings which were erected during Dr. Payne's administra- tion: (1) the Asa H. Gordon Library; (2) Janie L. Lester Hall (a dormitory for young women) : and (3) Benjamin F. Hubert Center (technical sciences building) . Dr. Gordon served as Dean of the Col- lege from 1928 to 1936 and as Director of Research and Publications from 1937 until 1941. Miss Lester rendered distinguished service to the College for a quarter of a century and was Dean of Women at the time of her death in 1951. Rapid progress is being made in developing an expanded building program under the leadership of President Howard Jordan, Jr. At the beginning of the 1965-1966 school year, the following recently com- pleted buildings were occupied for the first time: (1) W. K. Payne Hall, a two-story air-conditioned classroom building consisting of fifteen classrooms, office space for thirty-two instructors, data processing facilities, a language laboratory, a reading clinic, and an administra- tive area; (2) Lockett Hall, a dormitory for 180 young women, which was named in honor of Professor and Mrs. John A. Lockett who were associated with the College for a numbers of years; and (3) an annex to Wiley Gymnasium which consists of a swimming pool, classrooms, and additional spectator seating for indoor sports. In addition, the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, which includes a Little Theater, was occupied for the first time in the winter quarter of 1967, and the A. E. Peacock Hall, a dormitory accommodating 180 men, was com- pleted and occupied in the spring of 1967. Built near the north en- trance to the campus, Peacock Hall is a modern three-story building consisting of ninety studio type bedrooms, a lobby, recreational area, an apartment for the house director, a barber shop, a room for tele- vision viewing, and a laundromat. The Library A modern, new library with a well-prepared staff serves the college and community. It houses more than sixty-four thousand well selected books, fifty-two newspapers and aproximately 660 periodicals. Approxi- mately five thousand volumes are added yearly to keep the collection up to date. This air-conditioned, modular structure provides excellent library facilities. There are two main reading rooms with open stacks, a seminar room, lounging area, audio-visual center, and a curriculum materials center. The latter affords prospective and in-service teachers an opportunity to examine and use recently published instructional materials. There is also a music room, equipped with individual ear- phones and recordings of the best music. The library is the cultural and intellectual center of the college and community. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 21 Academic Rating Savannah State College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and by the Department of Education of the State of Georgia. Asa H. Gordon Library 22 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLEGE Savannah State College, a unit of the University System of Georgia, is a college of arts and sciences, teacher education, business admin- istration, and engineering technology. Attendance at this college is a privilege, not a right. 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. The college has two main purposes. It affords students an oppor- tunity to acquire an education that will enable them to live effectively in a democratic society. It provides continuing educational and cul- tural services for the people of Georgia. A worthwhile education, as the faculty conceives it, demands the full, rounded development of the individual. Consistent with this purpose, the institution has several major objectives which are designed to help students. 1. To gain basic preparation, personal qualities, and skills which are essential to further study, earning a living, and personal well-being; 2. To understand the nature of mental, emotional, and physical health and to practice habits that are conducive to sound per- sonal and community health; 3. To attain an awareness of social and civic responsibilities in order to carry out most effectively the duties and obligations of citizen- ship. 4. To cherish a discerning knowledge of man's cultural heritage, an understanding and appreciation of other cultures, and an aesthetic appreciation of the creative and artistic expressions of the human spirit; 5. To live by those moral and spiritual values which refine and exalt human life. To attain these objectives the college (a) offers formal instruction organized within seven divisions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Technical Sciences, Home Study; (b) selects and upgrades teachers, counsellors, person- nel workers, administrative and auxiliary services personnel; (c) gives students due responsibility in making their own educational decisions through their participation in the government of the college, extra- class activities, campus life, and religious services; and (d) draws upon all available intellectual, cultural, technical, and spiritual resources to enrich the lives of students. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 23 24 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE Briefly then, every teacher, every facility, and every arrangement at Savannah State College seives two main purposes; that boys and girls may develop into mature men and women who live effectively in the community, the state, and nation, and that life may be made richer for the people of Georgia and the nation. STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES 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. By action of the Board of Regents, out-of- town students are allowed to live away from the campus only when no space is available in campus dormitories. STUDENT CONDUCT Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all times to exemplify 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. 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 religious 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. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 25 Religious life activities are directed by the College Minister. The Sunday School, YMGA and YWCA, and the annual Religious Em- phasis Week provide opportunities for religious growth and develop- ment under the supervision of the Religious Life Committee. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES Student personnel services are coordinated through the Office of Student Affairs under the supervision of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Men and Dean of Women work with the Dean of Students 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. Orientation The orientation program is under the supervision of the Office of Student Affairs. It is designed to assist new students in becoming acquainted with other students, with college regulations, with routine procedures, with campus traditions, with the opportunities offered for training here, and with specialized vocational guidance. The program begins intensively during Freshman Week. It con- tinues throughout the student's first year, in the weekly series of Freshman Lectures. Freshman Week meets the immediate informa- tional needs of students entering the college. Freshman Lectures, required of freshmen and transfer students, is designed to facilitate the process of total adjustment to college and to life. Counselling and Guidance A counselling and guidance service is provided for all students through the offices of the Dean of Students and his staff. 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. The duties of the adviser are to assist the student in selecting subjects, to aid him in interpreting the requirements, to guide him in important matters. 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. However, a student may not change his major during the registration period, nor during the week before and the week after registration. The 26 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE responsibility for selection of courses rests, in the final analysis, upon the student. It is the primary duty of the student to meet the require- ments of his curriculum. A request from the adviser to the student for conference should be complied with promptly. Health Services The college health services are maintained to improve and safeguard the health of students. These services are under the direct supervision of the school physician and the school nurse. Medical examinations, medical care, and health consultations are provided for all students. Harris Infirmary, a modern, eighteen-bed building is provided for students who require treatment or confinement for minor illnesses. Veterans Services The Veterans Counsellor is responsible for assisting veterans and dependent children (orphans of veterans) in receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration. He collects and disseminates information to veterans and dependent children, and counsels with them through- out the year about regulations and directives peculiar to their status. All the curricula of Savannah State College are fully approved by the Veterans Administration for veterans and dependent children. Veterans and dependent children are urged to report personally to the Veterans Counsellor 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 participate in a wide range of significant activities. Through the efforts of organized groups, programs are planned for the social, religious, and cultural advancement of the college community. The Student Council The Student Council, composed of representatives of all classes, works with the administration in the government of the college. It works also with the various campus organizations and sponsors projects for the general welfare of the student body.

Cultural Opportunities To complement formal education on the campus, the college pro- vides many activities for cultural enrichment. Student assemblies, in- stitutes, motion pictures, lectures, art exhibitions, dramatics, forums, athletic contests, hobby groups, and tours contribute to the general enrichment of the college community. The Committee on Campus Life brings to the campus renowned concert artists. All students are encouraged to attend these formal ac- tivities which afford inspiring association with outstanding personalities. The Department of Fine Arts sponsors several musical programs and art exhibitions throughout the school year. The Christmas and Spring concerts, together with the annual Fine Arts Festival celebrating National Music Week during the first week in May, are significant events in the cultural program of the college. 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 aide, library aide, waiting tables, pantry and kitchen aide, and skilled and unskilled maintenance work. 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. 30 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 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 Office of Student Affairs and coordinated by the Director of Work-Aid.

Applicants who wish to enroll in non-credit seminars, short courses, and institutes shall produce evidence to prove: 1. That the applicant has the educational background and the ability to pursue successfully the program of work he wishes to take. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 37 2. That the applicant is of good moral character; that he possesses a sense of social responsibility, and that he has a capacity for growth and development in the program for which he seeks admission.

Irregular Students or Special Students Irregular students and special students shall be required to meet all requirements prescribed for admission to regular programs of work and to meet any additional requirements that may be prescribed by Savan- nah State College. Other Policies Regarding Admission When the application, necessary transcripts, College Board scores, and any other required information on an applicant are found to be complete and in order, the applicant will be evaluated in terms of his test scores and grades, scholastic aptitude, social and psychological adjustment, and the probability of his completing the requirements for the desired degree. Savannah State College reserves the right, in every case, to reject any applicant whose general records and attitude do not indicate a probability of success in the Savannah State College environ- ment, notwithstanding the satisfaction of other requirements. Appli- cants must comply with such other procedures, including personal interviews and psychological or other tests as may be necessary to determine the applicant's sense of social responsibility, adjustment of personality, sturdiness of character, and general fitness for admission to Savannah State College. In order that the appraisal of a student's ability and fitness for college work may be as nearly accurate as possible, officials of Savan- nah State College will study carefully all the information, including biographical data that is submitted by the applicant. Officials of Savannah State College shall have the right to require each applicant for admission to appear for an interview before his application is finally accepted or rejected. If an interview is required, the Director of Admissions will notify the applicant of the time and place in which the interview will be conducted. The ultimate decision as to whether an applicant shall be accepted or rejected will be made by the Director of Admissions, subject to the applicant's right of appeal as provided by the bylaws of Savannah State College and of the Board of Regents of the University System. Savannah State College Policy Regarding Non-residents Applicants who are non-residents of Georgia will be admitted sub- ject to all regulations governing resident students except that an addi- tional fee will be assessed because of non-residence. Determination of 38 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE non-resident status will be made in accordance with the revised rules on classification of non-residents issued by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia on December 12, 1963. A statement of these rules follows: 1. A student who is under 21 years of age at the time he seeks to register or re-register at the beginning of any quarter will be accepted as a resident student only upon a showing by him that his supporting parent or guardian has been legally domiciled in Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration or re-registration. 2. In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as guardian of a non-resident minor, such minor will not be per- mitted to register as a resident student until the expiration of one year from the date of appointment, and then only upon proper showing that such appointment was not made to avoid payment of the non-resident fee. 3. If a student is over 21 years of age, he may register as a resident student only upon a showing that he has been domiciled in Georgia for at least twelve months prior to the registration date. Any period of time during which a person is enrolled as a student in any educational institution in Georgia may not be counted as a part of the twelve months' domicile and residence herein required when it appears that the student came into the State and remained in the State for the primary purpose of attending a school or college. 4. A full-time faculty member in an institution of the University System, his wife, and minor children may register for courses on the payment of resident fees, even though the faculty member has not been in residence in Georgia for a period of twelve months. 5. If the parents or legal guardian of a minor changes residence to another state following a period of residence in Georgia, the minor may continue to take courses for a period of twelve con- secutive months on the payment of resident fees. After the expiration of the twelve months' period the student may con- tinue his registration only upon the payment of fees at the non- resident rate. 6. Military personnel stationed in Georgia, and their dependents, may become eligible to enroll in institutions of the University System as resident students provided they file with the institu- tion in which they wish to enroll the following materials : (a) A statement from the appropriate military official as to the applicant's "home of record"; (b) Evidence that applicant, if over 21 years of age, is eligible to vote in Georgia; SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 39 (c) Evidence that applicant, if under 21 years of age, is the child of parents who are eligible to vote in Georgia; (d) Evidence that applicant, or his parents filed an income tax return in Georgia during the preceding year; (e) Other evidence showing that a legal domicile has been established in Georgia. 7. Foreign students who attend institutions of the University Sys- tem under the sponsorship of recognized civic or religious groups may be enrolled upon the payment of resident fees, pro- vided the number of such foreign students in any one institution does not exceed the quota approved by the Board of Regents for that institution. 8. All aliens shall be classified as non-resident students; provided, however, that an alien who is living in this country under a visa permitting permanent residence or who has filed with the proper federal immigration authorities a Declaration of Inten- tion to become a citizen of the United States shall have the same privilege of qualifying for resident status for fee purposes as has a citizen of the United States. 9. Teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their dependents may enroll as students in University System institutions on pay- ment of resident fees, when it appears that such teachers have resided in Georgia for nine months, that they were engaged in teaching during this nine months' period, and that they have been employed to teach in Georgia during the ensuing school year. 10. In the event that a woman who is a resident of Georgia and who is a student in an institution of the University System marries a non-resident of the State, the woman will continue to be eligible to attend the institution on payment of resident fees, provided that her enrollment is continuous. 11. If a woman who is not a resident of Georgia marries a man who is a resident of Georgia, the woman will not be eligible to register as a resident student in a University System institution until she has been domiciled in the State of Georgia for a period of twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 45 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS The following faculty rules have been enacted; students are re- quired to familiarize themselves with these rulings and any subse- quently made effective. ATTENDANCE In classroom exercises, laboratory, and class-related activities, Sa- vannah State College provides the necessary facilities, materials, and conditions for the effective training of its students. It is essential that each student share fully in the educational experiences which are provided. To help students achieve the greatest possible benefits from their college experience, the following attendance regulations have been established: Regulations Governing Class Attendance 1. The student must attend a minimum of seventy-five (75) per cent of all class meetings. If he is absent more than twenty-five (25) per cent of the times that a class meets during a quarter, he will be penalized at the rate of one credit hour for each absence over the maximum allowable in a given course. The penalty may not exceed the number of credit hours which the course normally carries. 2. Students maintaining an average of 3.50 or higher with no grade below C during any quarter shall not be required to adhere to the class attendance regulations. 3. The college makes no provision for excused absences. If a student is absent for any reason, his instructor may be in- formed concerning the reasons for the absence, but this will not constitute an excuse. 4. Attendance is counted from the first class meeting each quarter. 5. A student is absent if he is not present at the beginning of a class period. He has the privilege of entering a class after it has begun, but in such case he is officially absent. 6. An absence from the last meeting of a class or a required college activity before a holiday or the first meeting after a holiday shall be counted as two absences. 7. The making up of work on account of absences is a matter to be determined by the instructor, for he is the sole judge of the satisfactory completion of the course. 8. Each student is responsible for keeping an accurate account of his absences. Execution of Attendance Regulations 1. Each instructor shall submit a list of all overcuts to the Office of the Registrar at the end of each quarter. 46 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 2. After an absence has been reported to the Registrar, it shall not be revoked or stricken from the student's record. 3. The penalty for excessive absences becomes effective at the close of each quarter. 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 and quality point values are: Grade Meaning Quality Point Value A Excellent 4 per credit hour B Good 3 per credit hour C Average 2 per credit hour D Poor 1 per credit hour F Failure per credit hour All grades of D which are earned in major, minor, or special sub- ject requirement courses must be repeated. Like the higher grades, the grade D is final and cannot be raised by make-up work or exami- nation. When a course in which the grade of D is earned is repeated, credit may be received only once. The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum requirements of the course, and courses in which this grade is earned must be repeated. Credit toward graduation may not be earned more than once in the same course. To be granted a degree from Savannah State College every student shall have a minimum cumulative average of "C" (2.00). GRADES FOR INCOMPLETE COURSES AND WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES The college uses letters to denote incomplete courses and with- drawal from classes. These grades have no quality point value. The grade I indicates that the student has not completed a small portion of the requirements of the course. It denotes further: a. That the student remained in the class until at least ten days prior to the conclusion of the quarter and fulfilled the minimum attendance requirements of the College. b. That, though incomplete, the student's work while he remained in the class was of D grade or better. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 47 c. That either by examination or additional work the student may complete the course on or before the days scheduled for removal of incomplete grades, during the next quarter of residence. // the next quarter of residence is a summer quarter, the student must remove the I grade during this quarter. The grade W is given by the instructor when a student withdraws officially from a course on or before the last day for dropping courses. The grade WP (withdrew while passing) is given by the instructor when a student withdraws officially from school and is doing satis- factory work in a course at the time of his withdrawal. The grade WF (withdrew while failing) is given by the instructor when a stu- dent withdraws officially from school and is doing unsatisfactory work in a course at the time of his withdrawal. A student may not withdraw from a course and continue his enroll- ment in other courses after the last day for dropping courses. The grade F is given by the instructor when a student withdraws from a course or from school without giving formal notice. This is not the only meaning of the grade F, because it may also mean that the student failed to meet the minimum requirements of the course. A student who fails to take the final examination in a course and who is failing in this course at the time of the final examination shall be given the grade of F by the instructor. PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE A student who wishes to withdraw from the college must adhere to the following procedure: 1. The student must secure forms for withdrawal from the Office of Student Personnel and confer with the Dean of Students. 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 Registrar for final action. Students ill at home or otherwise not able to follow this procedure should write or have someone write to the Dean of Students, request- ing 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. CHANGES IN GRADES Once an instructor has reported a grade to the Registrar, the in- structor may change the grade only under the following conditions: 48 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 1. An instructor may change an I (Incomplete) to any grade on designated dates within the quarter when the student is next enrolled in residence. An I automatically becomes F if it is not removed on these designated dates 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. 3. Grade changes requested by instructors after one month must be made to the Academic Council. MID-QUARTER GRADES Each faculty member will submit to the Office of the Registrar a report of all deficient grades (D's and F's) . The Office of the Registrar will in turn send copies of such reports to the students, their parents or guardian (s), and to departmental heads. CALCULATING THE SCHOLASTIC AVERAGE A student's cumulative grade-point average is determined by divid- ing the total number of quality points by the total number of quarter hours of all courses taken for which final grades are recorded. 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 attempted for which final grades are recorded. The following system of classification is observed: Freshman (0-45 hours) Junior ( 90-134 hours) Sophomore (46-89 hours) Senior (135 hours and above) STUDENT LOAD Under ordinary circumstances, a student may not register in any quarter for an academic credit load exceeding the normal requirement of his classification and major. As indicated under Recognition for Ex- cellence in Scholarship exceptions are permissible, however, to superior students. In addition, a candidate for graduation who has no scho- lastic deficiency may enroll for credit in one additional course, if the total load does not exceed twenty quarter hours and failure to take such course would hinder the student from graduating on sched- ule. In any event, a student will be allowed no credit for an overload unless such overload has the formal approval of both the student's adviser and the Dean of Faculty. All regular and terminal students are required to pursue courses in the prescribed order. Special students will pursue the courses agreed upon in conference with their advisers. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 49 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. SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS Savannah State College is operated for students who demonstrate seriousness of purpose and the ability and disposition to profit by college work. Students who fail to fulfill the scholarship requirements of the institution are subject to scholastic discipline. At the end of each quarter the Office of the Registrar computes cumulative grade- point averages in order to determine the academic standing of all stu- dents in residence. At that time the Registrar shall notify the Dean of Faculty prior to notification of students and their parents or guardians of the academic probation, suspension, or dismissal of stu- dents. In addition, he shall notify other appropriate personnel of this action, The following regulations govern scholarship standards at Savan- nah State College: 1. Freshmen (0-45) hours) or transfer students who fail to achieve a cumulative average of at least 1.00 after one quarter of residence will not be permitted to enroll during the succeeding quarter. (Grades received in Basic English and mathematics courses will not be considered in computing grade point average) . 2. Freshmen who achieve a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 1.00 but not more than 1.50 will be placed on aca- demic probation. 3. Upperclassmen (46 hours and above) who fail to achieve or maintain a cumulative average of at least 2.00 will be placed on academic probation. 4. A student on probation (1) may not register for less than ten hours if resident student (five hours if commuting student) nor more than thirteen hours; (2) must repeat all courses in which he earned the grade of F that are prescribed in his curriculum and all courses in his major and minor concentration and Fresh- man English in which he earned the grade of D; (3) must report to his academic adviser for counseling service immediately after being notified of his probationary status, and (4) will not be permitted to represent the College or hold office in any college organization. 5. A student on probation whose cumulative average decreases will not be permitted to register for the succeeding quarter. 6. If the student on probation does not remove his probationary status in two succeeding quarters in residence, or maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.50 for each of the two suc- ceeding quarters, he shall be suspended for one quarter. If a student maintains a minimum grade point average of 2.50 while on probation for two succeeding quarters, his probationary period 50 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE will be extended as long as he maintains this grade point average each successive quarter enrolled. READMISSION The following standards govern the readmission of students who have been suspended for academic reasons: 1. Readmission applications are processed by the Committee on Admission in consultation with the chairman of the applicant's major field, and its decision shall be final. Requests for read- mission should be addressed to the Registrar of the College. 2. The College reserves the right to deny readmission to any student who has been suspended for academic reasons. A student may apply for readmission in any quarter after he has been out for one quarter. Conditions for readmission are: (1) the filing of an application at least thirty days prior to the beginning of the quarter in which the student expects to resume enrollment; (2) passing of a readmission test by the student which is administered by the College; and (3) submission by the student of evidence of increased motivation and maturity. 3. Applications for readmission are considered by the Committee on Admission on the basis of detailed information concerning the cause of failure, academic goals, entrance tests, college grades previously earned, length of absence, motivation, outside com- mitments, and recommendations from appropriate personnel. 4. A student readmitted must achieve and maintain a scholastic average appropriate to his class level in all courses that he must repeat and in all new courses that he pursues. He will be allowed three quarters to remove his probationary status, however, if he maintains a minimum grade point average of 2.50 each quarter of his probationary period, his probation may be extended. Failure to fulfill these conditions will result in dismissal. One calendar year after dismissal, a student may petition the Aca- demic Council of the College for readmission if he can convinc- ingly demonstrate that he has had a change of attitude toward his academic responsibilities. However, the student should under- stand that such permission is rarely granted. RECOGNITION OF 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 3.50, 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 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. SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 51 GRADUATION HONORS Graduation with honors is based upon completion of a minimum attendance period of six quarters and completion of at least ninety quarter hours at Savannah State College.

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 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: 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. Vocational Competence The aim is to assist students in ex- ploring their vocational and avocational interests and aptitudes, to the end that they may progress toward socially useful and personally satisfying careers. 3. 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. 4. Sound Health The aim is to help students in acquiring knowl- edge and habits essential to sound physical and mental health. 5. 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. 6. Comprehension of the Cultural Heritage The aim is knowledge and understanding of the cultural heritage, its sources, utilization, appreciation, and transmission.

Anderson, Chairman Albertha E. Boston Mildred W. Glover Johnny Campbell, Jr. Margelle E. Rhodriquez Harold E. Taylor The main purpose of the Division of Business Administration is to afford students a sound educational foundation for socially effective, gainful work in the business world. Specifically, through curricular offerings, supervised work experience, and individual counselling this division prepares students for: (1) employment as bookkeepers, ac- countants, secretaries, stenographers, and salesmen; (2) operation, management, and ownership of business enterprises; (3) teaching busi- ness subjects in the secondary school; (4) further study in accounting, business economics, general business, secretarial science, and business education. To realize these aims the division offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration, and a terminal program leading to a certificate of proficiency. DEGREE PROGRAMS A student in business administration may pursue a major in one of four areas: (1) general business administration, (2) economics, (3) secretarial science and, (4) accounting. The total quantitative re- quirement for the degree is 195 quarter hours. The total includs a com- mon general education sequence and a major-minor concentration. The student may elect a major-minor concentration within this divi- sion or a major in this division and, with express approval of the Chairman of this division, a related minor in another division. Everyone who undertakes work toward a degree in the Division of Business Administration must confer with his adviser during each quarter regarding choice of courses. Specifically, every business ad- ministration major must have the written approval of the chairman of this division before registering in junior and senior courses. Persons desiring to become certified as teachers of business subjects in the secondary school must meet requirements set up by the Division of Teacher Education and Certification. A minimum of 45 hours in business education courses and 36 hours in professional education courses are required in addition to the general education courses. Freshman and Sophomore Requirements The major part of the work in the freshman and sophomore years consists of general education. The purpose of these courses is to lay a broad foundation of cultural work for the student prior to his under- taking any specialized work.

Wynn Virginia Preetorius Mildred Young PURPOSES OF THE DIVISION The Division of Education serves three major purposes: (1) in co- operation with the College-wide Teacher Education Committee and the Georgia Council on Teacher Education, it spearheads the process of continuous planning, experimentation, and evaluation of the total teacher education program; (2) it assumes chief responsibility in the selection, guidance, and training of students for the work of teaching in elementary and secondary schools; (3) it provides an ade- quate foundation for advanced study on the graduate level for persons who plan to continue their educational preparation following gradua- tion. COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION This division comprises three departments: the Department of Elementary Education ; the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; and the Department of Secondary Education. The preparation of teachers is, however, a college-wide commitment. Be- SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 63 cause every division and department at the college is involved in teacher education in some subject matter field, this function engages the constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facilities of the entire institution. RECOMMENDATION FOR THE DEGREE AND A TEACHING CERTIFICATE The following teacher education programs at Savannah State College have been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher Edu- cation and Certification: elementary education; secondary education, with concentrations in business education, English, French, general science, industrial arts education, mathematics, social studies, Span- ish, and trade and industrial education; grades 1-12, art educa- tion, health, physical education, and recreation, and music educa- tion. Each of these curricula leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. A graduate who has completed one of these programs may be recommended to the Division of Certification for the Four- Year Professional Certificate. EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION This program prepares and certifies graduates to teach in kinder- gartens, nursery schools, and in grades 1 through 3. To pursue this curriculum the student must enroll in the elementary education cur- riculum and follow the professional education sequence. During the junior and senior years students will take the child development se- quence of courses. The teaching practicum will be done in the Savan- nah State College Nursery School and Kindergarten. Required se- quence : Ch Dev 351 Child Development and Guidance Ch Dev 453 Activities and Materials for Early Childhood Education Ch Dev 454 The Child and His Family Nutr 452 Nutrition for Children THE DRIVER EDUCATION CERTIFICATE A graduate who has completed an approved undergraduate teacher education curriculum in secondary education may be recommended for supplementary certification in driver and traffic safety education upon completion of the following courses : H Ed 300 First Aid and Safety I A Ed 310 Introduction to Driver Education I A Ed 320 Advanced Driver and Traffic Safety Education 64 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE THE TEACHER-LIBRARIAN CERTIFICATE In view of the need to strengthen library service in the schools of Georgia, the college provides a basic training program for teacher- librarians. This is essentially an undergraduate, preprofessional se- quence, designed to meet minimum requirements for certification. The work does, however, afford a foundation for further study in library science. The teacher-librarian sequence appears on page 132 of this catalog. PURPOSES OF THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM The teacher education program of this institution is designed to assist the prospective teacher in attaining the following competencies : (1) a wide general academic and cultural background, with specific command of subject matter which will enable him to adapt content and experiences to the needs, problems, and interests of pupils; (2) proficiency in the communication skills and ability to assist pupils in developing these skills; (3) functional knowledge of human behavior and of the processes involved in growth and learning; (4) skill in the adaptation of materials and experiences to the needs and interests of pupils; (5) ability to further good human relationships; and (6) ability to think and plan effectively. GENERAL PLAN OF STUDY The first two years of teacher education are largely devoted to gen- eral education. Work in the areas of art, the biological and physical sciences, communication skills, general college and vocational orienta- tion, mathematics, health and physical education, music, and the social sciences is included. In the junior and senior years, the prospective teacher works in three interrelated areas: (1) the professional education sequence; (2) the subject matter concentration and (3) elective courses which pro- vide a second strength or minor pattern. The quantitative requirement for graduation in this division is 195 quarter hours, including prescribed health and physical education and orientation 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: Introduction to Teaching Human Growth and Learning Curriculum and Teaching Directed Student Teaching Student Teaching Seminar Ed. 216 Ed. 317 Ed. 429 Ed. 440 or 441 Ed. 445 or 446 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 65 These courses are to be completed satisfactorily in the order listed. Failure to do so results in loss of credit. Students are grouped in each course according to major interests and teaching levels. In addition to the professional sequence, all teaching majors are required to take H.Ed. 305 - Total School Health. ADMISSION TO THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM During the sophomore year, students who plan to complete a teach- ing curriculum are required to submit to the Division of Education an application for admission to the teacher education program. Applications will be screened, and applicants will be notified indi- vidually 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: 1. Completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours. 2. A minimum grade-point average of 2.00 (C). 3. Character traits such as honesty, physical and intellectual vigor, enthusiasm, open-mindedness, resourcefulness, and mature out- look. RETENTION IN THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM 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 2.00 or better. c. Maintain at least a 2.00 average in the subject matter concentra- tion and the professional education sequence. Students who fail to meet the foregoing requirements will not be admitted to student teaching and will be placed on probation in the teacher education program. Students who fail promptly to remove deficiencies in these require- ments will be asked to withdraw from the teacher education program. 66 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE TEACHER EDUCATION CURRICULA DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Elementary Education Curriculum FRESHMAN YEAR Quarter Hours Credit Course & No. Descriptive Title Fall Winter Spring Biol 123-124 General Biology 5 5 Ed 100 Freshman Lectures (R) HEd 112 Personal Health l Hum 107-108-109 English Communicative Skills 5 5 5 Hum 131 Introduction to Music and Art 5 Math 107 College Algebra & Trigonometry 5 P Ed 111, 113 Seasonal Activities 1 1 Soc Sc 101-102 History of Western Culture 5 5 16 16 16 SOPHOMORE YEAR Ed 216 Introduction to Teaching 5 Hum 207-208-209 World Literature 3 3 3 Hum 141-142 Elementary French or Hum 151-152 Elementary German or Hum 161-162 Elementary Spanish 5 5 Nat Sc 203 Physical Science 5 P Ed 211-212-213 Seasonal Activities 1 1 1 P Ed 233 Elementary Mass Activity 3 Soc Sc 1 1 1 World and Human Geography 5 Soc Sc 201 Psychological Basis for Human Behavior \ 5 14 17 14 JUNIOR YEAR y Ed 317 Human Growth and Learning 8 f Ed 341 Seminar in the Elementary School Curriculum 15 Ed 347 Audio- Visual Materials and Methods 5 H Ed 305 The Total School Health Program 5 Hist 300 1 History of the United States and Georgia 5 Mus 301 Public School Music Methods - Elementary Grades 3 Mus Ed 300 Fundamentals of Elementary School Music 3 Phil 300 or 301 or 302 itroduction or Logic or Ethics 5 Elective 2 5 18 18 18 SENIOR YEAR Art 401 Public School Art 5 Ed 429 Curriculum and Teaching 8 Ed 440 Directed Student Teaching in the Elementary School 10 Ed 445 Seminar for Teachers in the Elementary School 5 Soc Sc 302 Government 5 Electives 2 10 18 15 15 Total quarter hours required for graduation 195 1 If the student has satisfied the history requirement, he should take an elective. 2 Early childhood education majors will elect the child development sequence.

Hopson, Head 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 provide professional training for pre-service and in-service teachers of health, physical education, and recreation in the elementary and secondary schools. The department encourages only potentially qualified students to undertake professional training in this field. It seeks also to provide instruction for all students in the basic principles of health and recreational activity needed for whole- some living. In pursuance of the foregoing aims this department provides a four- fold program of instruction. For students who plan to become pro- fessional workers in the field of health, physical education, and recre- ation either in schools or in other agencies the department offers a sequence of specialized training leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with a concentration in health, physical educa- tion, and recreation. In addition, it provides basic training in super- vision of one or more phases of a comprehensive health, physical education, and recreation program in the schools of Georgia for all students enrolled in teacher education curricula at Savannah State College. This phase of the work is provided either in selected special- ized courses or in a minor sequence. The department provides instruction in the fundamental concepts and activities of health, physical education, and recreation as an essential phase of general education for all students enrolled at the college. It serves the college community through instruction and leadership in the intramural program. The intramural program is, in effect, a laboratory in which students enjoy practicing the skills learned in general service courses and compete with their peers. PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT FOR ALL FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORES During the freshman and sophomore years all students are required to participate in health and physical education activities. The satis- factory completion of this work is a prerequisite for graduation. With- in the six quarters of work, one quarter is devoted to personal health; and five are seasonal activities, including indoor and outdoor games, gymnastics, etc. All students must wear the regulation uniform at each class meet- ing s or credit will not be given. 84 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Curriculum FRESHMAN YEAR Quarter Hours Credit Course & No. Descriptive Title Fall Winter Spring Ed 100 Freshman Lectures ^ (R) HEd 112 Personal Health J 1 Hum 107-108-109 English Communicative Skills 5 5 5 Hum 131 Introduction to Music and Art 5 Math 107 College Algebra & Trigonometry 5 P Ed 111, 113 Seasonal Activities 1 1 Soc Sc 101-102 History of Western Culture 5 5 Soc Sc 111 World and Human Geography 5 Soc Sc 201 Psychological Basis for Human Behavior 5 16 16 16 SOPHOMORE YEAR Biol 123 General Biology 5 Chem 101-102 General Inorganic Chemistry 5 5 Ed 216 Introduction to Teaching 5 H Ed 300 First Aid and Safety 5 Hum 207-208-209 World Literature 3 3 3 PEd 211-212-213 Seasonal Activities 1 1 1 P Ed 233 Elementary Mass Activity 3 P Ed 235 Introduction to Health, Physical Education, and Recreation 5 Phil 300 or 301 Introduction, Logic, or Ethics 5 or 302 Soc Sc 302 Government 5 17 19 19 JUNIOR YEAR Ed 317 Ed 429 H Ed 305 P Ed 301 Ed 302 Ed 304 Ed 305 Ed 310 Ed 314 Ed 316 Human Growth and Learning 8 Curriculum and Teaching The Total School Health Program 5 Physiology of Muscular Activity Social and Square Dancing Applied Anatomy 5 Corrective Physical Education 3 Compendium in Physical Education 1 Principles of Physical Education 5 Intramural and Recreational Activities 5 16 16 15 a If the student has satisfied the history requirement through examination, he should take an elective.

Jason, Chairman PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSES The humanities embrace those skills, understandings, and appre- ciations which make for a well-rounded life. Trie humanities are concerned with humane values, exalting the life of man. Thus, the impact of mind upon mind great minds of the past upon sensi- tive minds of the present constantly points the wa^ to the good life. Specifically, the Division of Humanities provides opportunity for study and analyses of the language, literature, art, and music of the world. The study and analyses are aimed at motivating the student to expand his aesthetic horizon, to enliven his spirit of inventiveness and individuality, and to acquire a finer appreciation and under- standing of the human spirit. This division comprises the Department of English, the Depart- ment of Fine Arts, and the Department of Modern Languages. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Louise Lautier Owens, Chairman Pro Tern Dennis A. Berthold Yvonne H. Mathis Arthur L. Brentson Luetta C. Milledge Marion L. Coleman Kay S. Perdue J. Randolph Fisher Frank H. Rand Robert Holt Robert L. Stevenson Abbie W. Jordan The aims of the Department of English are (1) to develop pro- ficiency in oral and written language; (2) to instill an appreciation for good literature; (3) to encourage a deep perceptiveness of mind in order to make it more flexible and inquisitive; and (4) to reveal the operation of the human spirit in our civilization. The ultimate aim of the department is a quality of mind, rather than a mere accumulation of information. The student who has successfully pursued English as his major sub- ject is expected to demonstrate a facility in distinguishing between that which is genuinely great and that which is less great in literature and human values. He should have more than a passing acquaintance with a representative number of masterpieces in English, American, and world literature. He should have adequate facility, taste, and SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 87 understanding in expression; and he should have knowledge of prin- cipal literary genres, periods, and authors. PLAN OF STUDY All freshman students are given a placement test in English. They are then grouped on the basis of achievement on the test. Superior students may be permitted to register in Humanities 108. Others are assigned to appropriate sections of Humanities 99 or 107. THE ENGLISH MAJOR A non-teaching major in English must include two period courses (301, 303, 305, or 306) ; one course in American literature (220 or 231) ; one genre course (403, 405, or 406) ; one course in world litera- ture (331 or 332); one course in English literature (210 or 211), three seminars in English, and one course in linguistics. A student majoring in English language and literature will complete at least fifty-one quarter hours in language, composition, literature, and speech, in addition to freshman English. An English major who expects to teach English must take one period course, one course in American literature, one course in English litera- ture, one course in linguistics, one genre course, one course in world literature for majors, and two seminars in English, and two electives in English, in addition to freshman English, advanced composition and speech. THE ENGLISH MINOR A minor in English consists of thirty hours beyond Humanities 107, 108, and 109. It must include one course in American literature, one course in English literature, one genre course, and one seminar in English.

Jordan James Thompson, Jr. Susan P. Waters The Department of Fine Arts encourages students to find in the several areas of music and the graphic and plastic arts an appreciation of aesthetic values in general education and opportunities for the de- velopment of their special interests and abilities in these fields. In conformance with the stated philosophy of the college, the department stresses specific objectives in the areas of music and art. GRAPHIC AND PLASTIC ARTS The courses in graphic and plastic arts are intended to: (1) Provide students with the skills and experiences necessary for teaching art in elementary and secondary schools; (2) Prepare students for pure, creative production; (3) Provide basic preparation for further study in the various pro- fessional fields of art; (4) Provide electives for the total growth of students; and (5) Enrich the community through art activities such as exhibitions, motion pictures, lectures, and art clubs. ART EDUCATION To implement the foregoing objectives, the Department of Fine Arts offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Educa- tion, with a concentration in art education. A graduate who has com- pleted the art education program may be recommended to the Division of Teacher Certification for certification as a teacher of art in grades one through twelve. THE MUSIC PROGRAM The courses in music lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with a concentration in music education. The program is listed on page 78, under caption of the Division of Education. The curriculum prepares students for certification by the State De- partment of Education as teachers of music in grades one through twelve; and it provides training in individual and group participation. Adequate preparation for choral conductors and band directors is stressed. Functional piano facility is encouraged for all majors. It is expected that in all phases of the music program students will be aware of their tremendous responsibility to enrich the lives of people in their communities by their talents, skills, and musical initia- SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 91 tive. The creative impulse is strongly encouraged. Emphasis is con- tinuously placed upon musical activities which develop the entire personality by making use of all physical and mental resources nec- essary to performance, whether it be in the instrumental or vocal areas, and in exercising intelligent judgment in the area of musical creativity. ADMISSION TO THE MAJOR PROGRAM IN MUSIC It is desirable that all applicants for admission to the major program in music will have had at least two years of previous musical training in the vocal and/or instrumental areas. The Department will de- termine by aptitude tests and individual auditions the applicant's theoretical knowledge, instrumental and vocal proficiency, and general professional fitness for the program. This information will serve as a guide to the Department in helping the applicant to plan his college work. All majors in music are expected to participate in a musical organi- zation the band, the choral society, or men's glee club as long as they are enrolled in the program. All minors are expected to participate for a minimum of two years.

Jason, Head Thelman H. G. Crawford - Althea V. Morton Eusebio M. Valle The aims of the Department of Modern Languages are (1) to de- velop the ability to communicate in a foreign language; (2) to instill respect for other peoples and other cultures; (3) to develop an appre- ciation for the artistic expressions which are found in other languages; and (4) to bring about a greater awareness of our own cultural heritage. Underlying these aims is the ultimate goal of preparation for a more effective life. LANGUAGE PROGRAMS To realize these aims the department offers instruction in the for- eign languages which are generally required in the several curricula of the college. In addition, it offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in French or Spanish. The language teaching program requires completion of a minimum of forty quarter hours in one foreign language, beyond the elementary courses. A student completing the degree requirements with one of these sequences may be recommended for certification to teach the language. The programs for French and Spanish teachers are listed under caption of the Division of Education. This department offers also a minor in French and a minor in Spanish. The French minor comprises French 241, 242, 243, 341, 342, 343. The Spanish minor consists of Spanish 261, 262, 263, 361, 362, 363. THE GENERAL REQUIREMENT The general modern language requirement is one year (15 quarter hours) of acceptable work in one language. Students who have had no foreign language and those who present fewer than two units of high school credit normally take the elementary course. If a student has earned two or more units in a foreign language in high school and continues the study of the same language, he is required to take an examination administered by the Department for placement purposes. When a student begins the study of a foreign language at the inter- mediate level, two courses are sufficient to meet the language require- ment for graduation.

J. Dean,, Chairman Blanton E. Black 1 Wilbur C. McAfee Thomas H. Byers DavidJS. Roberts Joan L. Gordon Hanes Walton, Jr. Whittington B. Johnson 2 Austin D. Washington 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 Division of Social Sciences contributes to the realization of good citizenship by fostering three aims of higher education: (1) assisting students to attain those competencies and attitudes essential to all persons in a world of interdependent relationships; (2) pre- paring students for advanced study in fields such as social work, sociology, and history; (3) preparing students for teaching the social studies in the secondary school. THE CHOICE OF A MAJOR In conformance with the foregoing aims this division provides two curricula, each of which leads to the B. S. degree with a major in the social sciences. The program for persons who plan to teach social studies in the secondary school is listed under caption of the Department of Secon- dary Education. The curricula of this division are designed for those who definitely do not wish to qualify for a certificate to teach in the secondary school. Persons interested in careers in law, government service, diplomatic service, and research in general, should choose Curriculum I, with the history concentration. Persons interested in careers as social workers, probation officers, vocational counselors, camp counselors, em- ployment interviewers, juvenile court workers, and officials in the immi- gration service, should choose Curriculum II, with a concentration in sociology, leading to the professional study of social work. This division discourages substitutions for the required courses in the concentration. When such approval is granted, it must be reviewed and approved by the Dean of Faculty before becoming effective. ^On leave, 1966-67. 1967-68. 2 On leave, 1967-68.
