16 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLEGE
Savannah State College, a unit of the University System of Georgia,
is a college of applied arts and sciences, teacher education, business
administration, and industrial technology.
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 worth-while education, as the faculty conceives it, demands the
full, rounded development of the individual. Consistent with this
large purpose the institution has several major objectives. Specifi-
cally, the total college program is designed to help students:
1. To gain basic preparation, personal qualities, and skills which
are essential alike to further study, earning a living, and per-
sonal well-being;
2. To understand the nature of mental, emotional, and physical
health and to practice habits conducive to sound personal and
community health;
3. To attain a sharp awareness of social and civic responsibility
and live daily as good citizens;
4. To understand the common phenomena of man's physical en-
vironment and use scientific advances for human welfare;
5. To cherish a discerning knowledge of man's cultural heritage,
respect for foreign peoples and cultures, and aesthetic appre-
ciation of the creative artistic expressions of the human spirit;
6. To know and 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
and performing work-aid duties, participating in government of the
college, extra-class activities, campus life, and religious services; (d)
draws upon all available intellectual, cultural, technical, and spiritual
resources to enrich the lives of students.
Briefly then, every teacher, every facility, every arrangement here
serves two main purposes. It is that boys and girls may develop into
mature men and women who live effectively in the community, the
state, and nation. It is that life may be made richer for the people
of Georgia.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 17
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 manage-
ment 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.
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
18 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 me-
chanics (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 development plan for the College has been pre-
pared. An extensive building program was begun in 1951; a sewage
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 19
disposal system, a central heating plant, a men's dormitory, the library,
the technical sciences center, and Wiley Gymnasium have been com-
pleted. Hammond and Meldrim halls have been modernized. Herty
Hall has been renovated, and the old library has been converted into
a modern student center.
Location
The college is located in Chatham County, adjacent to the town of
Thunderbolt and to 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 equiva-
lent, 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
A modern, new library with a well prepared staff serves the college
and community. It houses about thirty-four thousand well selected
books and a variety of newspapers and periodicals. Approximately
three 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.
Buildings And Grounds
The campus, comprising one hundred and thirty-six acres, presents
a setting of unique, natural beauty. There are thirty-five buildings.
Recently completed structures are the new library and a multiple-unit
technical sciences center.
The new technical sciences center provides adequate space and
modern facilities for instruction in physical and technical sciences.
20 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.

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.

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

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 defini-
tion of legal resident which reads 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 resi-
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 31
dent 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 the non-resident fee.
"(b) If over 21 years of age, that bonafide 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 student
at an institution of the UNIVERSITY SYSTEM."
ROOM, BOARD AND LAUNDRY. All students living in the
dormitories are required to eat in the college dining hall. The charge
for room, board and laundry is $187.00 per quarter. 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.
STUDENT GROUP INSURANCE. The Savannah State Col-
lege student group insurance plan has been designed to protect all
full time students of the school. The premium of $15.00 per year is
payable in installments of $5.00 each quarter and the student is covered
for twelve (12) months including recess and vacation periods. The
insuring company will pay up to $250.00 for each accident regardless
of what other coverages the student has. Payment is unallocated; the
plan will pay for any or all of the following: medical and surgical
treatment by a physician, hospital confinement and nurse's services,
miscellaneous hospital expenses, and dental treatment made necessary
by injury to natural teeth.
SPECIAL EXAMINATION FEE. A fee of $1.00 is required for
each special, delinquent, or validation examination. Arrangements for
such examinations must be made with the Dean of Faculty.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEE. A student activities fee of $10.00
per quarter is required of each student. The Student Activities Com-
mittee has authority in assignment of funds from this source to the
various agencies and activities which serve student needs.
TRANSCRIPT FEE. No charge is made for the first transcript
issued at the request of a student. A fee of $1.00 will be charged for
each additional transcript.
Withdrawal and Refund 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 and confer with the Director of
Student Personnel.
2. The student will then confer with the Dean of Faculty and secure
his endorsement of the request for withdrawal.
32 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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 Director of Student Per-
sonnel Services, requesting permission to withdraw.
No refund of fees for any term will be authorized unless the fore-
going procedure is completed before the end of such term. The ma-
triculation fee and non-resident fee are subject to the refund policy
adopted by the Board of Regents January 20, 1947, as follows:
"For students who withdraw during the first week after registration
for the quarter, 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 fol-
lowing registration, a refund of 40% may be granted; for students
who withdraw during the fourth week following the scheduled regis-
tration date, a refund of 20% will be granted. No refund will be
made to students who withdraw after the end of the fourth week fol-
lowing registration."
Room, board and laundry charges will be made through the end of
the week during which the student withdraws. A student who wishes
to withdraw from the dining hall and dormitories must secure a permit
from the personnel dean. This permit when submitted with the dining
hall meal book will entitle the student to a refund.
The APPLICATION DEPOSIT of $25.00 and the ROOM DE-
POSIT of $25.00, are subject to refund as described under "EX-
PLANATION OF FEES" above.
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.

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.

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.
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 ex-
ploring their vocational and avocational interests and aptitudes,
to the end that they may progress toward socially useful and
personally satisfying careers.
5. Sound Health The aim is help to students in acquiring knowl-
edge and habits essential to sound physical and mental health.
6. Moral and Spiritual Values The aim is to help students toward
realization of meaning and direction in life consistent with the
highest moral and spiritual values.
Upon satisfactory completion of the freshman and sophomore years
in the general curriculum a student may transfer with facility to one of
the cooperating colleges, or he may proceed into an area of major con-
centration (q. v., following) at Savannah State College.

cation; secondary education, with a concentration in each 1) business and distributive educa-
tion subjects, 2) English, 3) French, 4) general science, 5) industrial arts education, 6)

2 This revised general education sequence became effective for students entering in September
1958 and thereafter. Some flexibility is permissible in general education courses (mainly in
the communicative skills, mathematics, and sciences), depending upon the individual's scho-
lastic ability, major preference, and vocational objective. Adaptations are seen in the several
major curricula. In addition, a student may qualify for exemption from any of these re-
quirements through superior achievement in a series of thorough examinations.

In addition to the foregoing requirements, each student must pass
a proficiency examination in English and a comprehensive examina-
tion in his major. The National Teacher Examinations constitute com-
prehensives for teaching majors; comprehensives for others are the
Graduate Record Examinations (with approved departmental sup-
plement). No student will be admitted to candidacy for the degree
before all deficiencies in required major and minor courses have been
cleared and the English proficiency and major comprehensive re-
quirements 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 college 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 for
a degree is made.
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.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
In addition to the degree programs, this division offers a terminal
secretarial science course for students who, at present, do not find it
convenient to remain in college for four years. Through intensive
study and concentrated effort, such students are enabled to prepare
for positions as typists, stenographers, bookkeepers, file clerks, etc.
Students interested in the two-year program should carefully plan
their schedules with the chairman of the Division of Business Admin-
istration at the beginning of the first year. All terminal students are
cautioned that, in addition to courses prescribed below, they must satis-
fy the history and constitutions requirements.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is awarded
a certificate of proficiency in secretarial science.

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 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
the schools of Georgia. (3) For persons who plan to become princi-
pals and supervisors, it provides an adequate foundation for advanced
study on the graduate level.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 45
COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION
This division comprises three departments: the Department of
Elementary Education ; the Department of Health, Physical Education,
and Recreation; the Department of Secondary Education. The prepa-
ration of teachers is, however, a college-wide commitment. Because
every division and department at the college is involved in training
teachers in some subject matter field, this function engages the con-
stant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facilities of the entire
institution.
RECOMMENDATION FOR THE DEGREE AND A
TEACHING CERTIFICATE
The following revised teacher training curricula at Savannah State
College have been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher Edu-
cation and Certification: elementary education; secondary education,
with a concentration in each business education, English, French,
general science, industrial arts education, mathematics, social studies,
Spanish, and trade and industrial education; grades 1-12, art educa-
tion, health, physical education, and recreation, music education. Each
of these curricula leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Edu-
cation. A graduate who has completed one of these programs may be
recommended to the Division of Certification for the Four Year
Professional Certificate.
THE TEACHER-LIBRARIAN CERTIFICATE
In view of the need to strengthen library service in the schools of
Georgia the college provides also 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 112 of this
catalog.
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 mat-
ter which will enable him to adapt content and experiences to the
needs, problems, and interests of pupils. (2) He should be proficient
46 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
in the communication skills and able to assist pupils in developing
these skills. (3) He should have effective knowledge of human be-
havior, 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 orienta-
tion, 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 ex-
ploratory assignment, preliminary to formal initiation into the teacher
training program.
In the junior and senior years, the prospective teacher works in
three interrelated areas: (1) the professional education sequence; (2)
the subject matter concentration; (3) elective courses.
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:
Ed. 216. Introduction to Teaching
Ed. 317. Human Growth and Learning
Ed. 429. Curriculum and Teaching
Ed. 440 or 441. Directed Student Teaching
Ed. 445 or 446. Seminar
These courses are to be taken in the order listed.
Students are grouped in each course according to major interests
and teaching levels.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 47
ADMISSION TO THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Students who plan to complete a teaching 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 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 the 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 2.00 or better.
c. Maintain a 2.00 average in the subject matter concentration
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 promptly to remove deficiencies in these require-
ments will be asked to withdraw from the teacher education program.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION,
AND RECREATION
Dr. Raymond W. 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 afford professional training for pre-service and
in-service teachers of health, physical education, and recreation in the
elementary and secondary schools. A parallel aim is advisement. The
department encourages only potentially qualified students to under-
take professional training in this field. A third aim is to provide for
all students instruction in the basic principles of health and recrea-
tional 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 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, for all students enrolled in teacher
education curricula at Savannah State College, this department pro-
vides basic training in supervision of one or more phases of a com-
prehensive health, physical education, and recreation program in the
schools of Georgia. This phase of the work is provided either in se-
lected specialized courses or in a minor sequence. Further, for all
students enrolled at the college this department provides instruction
in the fundamental concepts and activities of health, physical educa-
tion, and recreation as an essential phase of general education. Finally,
this department 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 relish competing 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, or credit will not be given.

DIVISION OF HUMANITIES
Dr. Forrest O. Wiggins, Chairman
PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSES
The humanities embrace those skills, understandings, and appre-
ciations which make for a well-rounded, happy life. The 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 way 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 in nations and civilizations similar to or
different from his own.
This division comprises the Department of English, the Depart-
ment of Fine Arts, and the Department of Modern Languages all
centrally concerned with fostering humane competencies, understand-
ings, appreciations, and values.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 65
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Dr. Forrest O. Wiggins,, Head
Arthur L. Brentson Robert Holt
Ethel J. Campbell Timothy C. Meyers
Mary Ella Clark Louise L. Owens
J. Randolph Fisher Luetta C. Upshur
The aims of the Department of English are: (1) to develop pro-
ficiency in oral and written language; (2) to assist in developing an
appreciation for good literature; (3) to encourage a deep perceptive-
ness of mind, to make it more flexible and inquisitive; (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
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 in the test. Superior
students may be permitted to register in Humanities 102. Others are
assigned to appropriate sections of Humanities 101. Before advancing
to Humanities 102 all students must clearly satisfy stated minimum
standards in speaking and writing.
A student majoring in English language and literature will com-
plete fifty-eight quarter hours in language, composition, literature,
and speech offered by the Department of English. One taking a minor
in English will complete thirty quarter hours. Not more than one
course in composition may be taken at a time.
The curriculum for prospective teachers of English in the secondary
school is listed under caption of the Department of Secondary Educa-
tion.

DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES
Dr. Howard M. Jason, Head Althea V. Morton
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 of man in other languages, (4) to
bring about a greater awareness of our own cultural heritage. Under-
lying these aims is the ultimate goal of preparation for a more effec-
tive life.
LANGUAGE PROGRAMS
To realize these aims this department offers instruction in the for-
eign languages generally required in the several curricula of the college.
Moreover, this department offers courses leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Education ( 1 ) with a concentration in French
(2) with a concentration in Spanish. A student completing 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.
The department offers also a minor in French and a minor in Spanish.
The language teaching program requires completion of a minimum
of forty-five quarter hours above elementary courses in the same foreign
language. The minor requirement is a minimum of twenty-five quarter
hours above elementary courses in the same foreign language.
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.

DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
Dr. E. J. Dean, Chairman
Blanton E. Black William E. Griffin
Joan L. Gordon Amjogollo E. Peacock
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)
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,
sociology, and history; (3) by preparing students for teaching the
social studies in the secondary school.
THE CHOICE OF A MAJOR
In conformance with the foregoing aims this 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,
Young Men's Christian Association, Urban League work, diplomatic
service, and research in general, should choose Curriculum I, with
the history concentration. Persons interested in careers as social work-
ers, probation officers, vocational counselors, camp counselors, employ-
ment 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.

DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES
Dr. Clyde W. Hall, Chairman
ORGANIZATION AND DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Division of Technical Sciences comprises instructional pro-
grams in engineering technology, home economics, and industrial
teacher education. Instructional activities are organized within the
Department of Engineering Technology and the Department of Home
Economics. The former offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Science, with majors in building construction technology, elec-
tronics technology, and mechanical technology. The latter offers
courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major
in foods, nutrition, and institution management, and a major in tex-
tiles and clothing.
BASIC PREPARATION FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Offerings of this division are, in the main, designed to fit graduates
for immediate employment as professional and semi-professional
workers in technical home economics and engineering technology.
Intensive training for careers in these areas presupposes a good
foundation in applied sciences. Accordingly, thorough high school
preparation in physics, algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and
industrial shop is essential for all who plan to study engineering
technology. A knowledge of chemistry is essential for those who go
into technical home economics.
INDUSTRIAL TEACHER EDUCATION
A previously noted, industrial teacher education is also a function
of the Division of Technical Sciences. Specifically, this division offers
the required shop work and special subject preparation for students
who plan to teach industrial arts and trade and industrial subjects.
The industrial arts education program does not prepare graduates
for employment as skilled or semi-skilled workers in industry. On the
contrary, it provides instruction in a variety of industrial shop activi-
ties. This instruction, augmented by appropriate general and profes-
sional education, prepares graduates to teach industrial arts in the
secondary school. The trade and industrial education program is de-
signed for those who plan to teach trade and industrial subjects on a
vocational basis in the secondary school. In order to pursue this pro-
gram one must have already learned a trade and worked in industry
for two years as a journeyman at the trade he is preparing to teach.
The industrial arts education and trade and industrial education cur-
ricula are listed under caption of the Division of Education.

Engineering technology embraces the physical sciences, mathematics,
and the practices of modern industry which are utilized in the design
and manufacture of the machines, structures, power sources, com-
munication systems, and materials needed to maintain a highly civil-
ized society. The activities of engineering technology are concerned
with translating the concepts and theories of professional engineers
and scientists into actual devices and products by using laboratory
tests to provide data for rational designs. These tests are followed by
interpretations of data and preparation of working drawings for use
by skilled craftsmen who produce the devices and products.
Thus, to prepare men and women with technical knowledge and
skills essential to modern society, the Department of Engineering
Technology offers courses in building construction, electronics, and
mechanical technology. Each of the following programs leads to the
degree of Bachelor of Science.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The curriculum in building construction technology is designed
to provide ample instruction in those areas of knowledge required for
successful performance in these capacities:
Architectural and Structural Draftsman and Designer plans, de-
signs, and supervises construction of frame, steel, and concrete struc-
tures; makes architectural inspections and appraisals for architects
and builders.
Construction Surveyor does topographic mapping, calculates land
areas; executes surveys of construction projects.
Estimator determines quantities and costs of materials and labor
required to erect structures.
Materials Tester determines mechanical properties of materials
used in the erection of structures.

DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS
Evanel R. Terrell, Head
Martha M. Avery Mollie N. Curtright
Zelia Owens
Curricula in the Department of Home Economics afford training
leading to the professional degree in the area of clothing and textiles
and in foods, nutrition, and institution management.
The program is directed toward two major objectives. The first of
these is to enhance the general education of the student through a
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) preparation 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 professions in home economics.
In cooperation with the Division of Business Administration, this
department offers, also, two-year terminal courses in dressmaking and
tailoring and food production and cookery. These courses are of par-
ticular interest for persons who are already engaged in business, or
planning to enter business, but who cannot now plan to remain four
years in college. A person completing the terminal course is granted
a certificate of proficiency.
ENRICHMENT
The perspective of students in this department is broadened and
enriched through required field trips, junior interneships, and experi-
2 If the student has satisfied the history requirement through examination he should now take
a senior elective.

ence affiliations with selected food service institutions and social wel-
fare and textile merchandising establishments.
MINORS
To assist students in their avocational choices and in planning for
productive community living, the Department of Home Economics
offers these minors textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition, general
home economics, and a pre-school education sequence.
Any student who plans to enter the field of home economics should
confer with the head of this department 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, laboratories, 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 re-
quest at the Office of the Chairman of Student Personnel Services.
When a student enrolls in residence courses, he accepts full responsi-
bility 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 and
quality point values are:
Quality Point Value
4 per credit hour
3 per credit hour
2 per credit hour
1 per credit hour
per credit hour
The grade D denotes poor work. Though accepted as a passing
grade, 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 make-up work or examination. The
entire course may, however, be repeated for a higher grade. At no
time, however, may credit be received more than once for the same
course.
The grade F indicates that the student has failed to meet mini-
mum requirements of the course. A student may convert an F into a
higher grade only by repeating the course.
To be granted a degree from this institution every student shall
have a cumulative average of C (2.00), or higher, on all courses
required in his curriculum.

GRADES FOR INCOMPLETE COURSES
AND
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
The college uses letters to denote also incomplete courses and with-
drawal from classes. These grades have no quality point value.
The grade I indicates that the student has not completed the work
of the course. The I denotes further:
a. That the student remained in the class until near the end of the
quarter.
b. That, though incomplete, the student's work while he remained
in the class was of D grade or better.
c. That either by examination or additional work the student may
complete the course on or before the days scheduled for removal
of incomplete grades, during the next quarter of residence.
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 in-
structor may change the grade under the following express 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.
CALCULATING A STUDENT'S SCHOLASTIC AVERAGE
A student's scholastic average is computed by dividing the number
of quarter hours academic credit completed with passing and failing
(final) grades into the number of quality points earned. 1 When a stu-
1 When a student changes his major, only required and elective courses counted toward
graduation are included in this calculation.
132 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
dent repeats a course, the credit and quality points previously earned
in the course are automatically cancelled in computing the student's
scholastic average. 1 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 (zero) 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 or above. A student who has
completed fewer than 45 hours and fewer than 90 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 45 hours; as a junior
when he has completed with at least a C average 90 hours; and as a
senior when he has completed with at least a C average 135 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. Students who main-
tain averages of C, or above C, are deemed in good scholastic stand-
ing. Those who fall below C are regarded as deficient and liable to
scholastic discipline. Following are minimum standards of scholastic
achievement and regulations governing retention:
1. Any student at the end of 45 quarter hours of college work must
have maintained a minimum average of 1.20. 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 1.20. 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 1.80. Failing to do so, he will be
placed on probation for one quarter. At the end of this period he
must have achieved the minimum average of 1.80, or he will be
asked to withdraw from the institution.
3. A student who has completed 135 quarter hours of college work
shall have maintained an average of 2.00. There will be no period
of probation for a student who has completed 135 hours. When
a student's cumulative average at this level falls below 2.00 he
will be asked to withdraw from the institution.
1 A11 courses and grades of a student are entered upon the student's permanent record,
retained thereon, and certified on his transcript.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 133
4. Any student whose scholastic average is unusually low during any
quarter's work, may be asked to withdraw from the institution.
A student who has been twice dismissed from the college may not
be readmitted.
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
21 years of age, a special letter will be written to parents or
guardians, 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 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 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 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 3.00 during his four years in
college, he will be graduated Cum Laude. If a student maintains an
average of 3.50 or above, he will be graduated Magna Cum Laude. If
a student maintains an average of 4.00, 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.
134 SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
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-
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 College 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.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE 135
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.
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 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.*
