Greetings from the President 



Alabama State College 



Alabama State College appreciates the honor of being 
the guest opponent for the Homecoming game of Savannah 
State College. We also appreciate the several connections 
between these two institutions. Your President is a former staff 
member of Alabama State College. Your First Lady, the wife 
of the President, is both a graduate and former staff member 
of Alabama State College. Our relations are both pleasant 
and cherished. 




We wish for you a most satisfying occasion. May the 
best team win. 



Henry Council Trenholm, 
President

Volume 11 December 1957 Number 3 

The Savannah Slate College Bulletin is published at Savannah, Ga.. 6 times 
yearly in October, December, Februarv, March, April, and May by Savannah 
Slate College. Second Class mail privileges authorized at Savannah, Ga. 



ABOUT THIS ISSUE 



"Costumes Through the Ages" is the Home- 
coming theme for this year. Certainly, a re- 
view of man's eternal fascination with his 
external appearance is both educational and 
revealing  educational in that such a survey 
re-emphasizes the mystic communion between 
people of all climes and of all ages; and re- 
vealing in that such retrospect points up the 
dichotomy that sometimes exists between 
man's extrinsic appearance and his intrinsic 
worth. 

The headdress and standing ruff of the 
Elizabethan costume may be discerned in the 
cover sketch of Dorothy Davis, senior general 
science major, who reigns as Miss Savannah 
State of 1957. 

Background statuary and paintings in some 
of the pictures are through the courtesy of 
the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, 
Savannah, Georgia. The following persons 
made costumes and props available for some 
of the photographs: Misses Althea V. Morton 
and Althea Williams, Mrs. Louise Owens, 
Robert Holt, Robert Merritt, and Mrs. Rich- 
ardine Mingo, '56, instructor at Springfield 
Terrace School. 




THOMAS Carlyle, clarion-voiced prophet 
of Cheyne Row in Victorian England, 
stressed the vestural quality of life in 
the great metaphysical bouquet that is his 
Sartor Resartus (The Tailor Retailored). 
The symbolical conception of man and na- 
ture was at the core of the transcendental 
philosophy, which reached its peak in Eng- 
land and in America during the nineteenth 

The poetic expression of this clothes- 
philosophy is crystallized in the Earth- 
Spirit's song in Goethe's Faust: 

In Being's Flood's, in Action's Storms, 
I walk and work, above, beneath. 
Work and weave in endless motion! 

Birth and death, 
An infinite Ocean; 
A seizing and giving 
The Fire of Living: 

Tis thus at the roaring Loom of Time 

I Ply, 

And weave for God the garment Thou 
seest Him by. 

The two great garments of God, Man 
and Nature, may be seen at Savannah 
State College, where dedicated faculty and 
students pursue truth that transcends man's 
sense perception but not his knowledge, 
where the genius of man is evidenced in 
the magnificent edifices that rise in the 
midst of natural splendor, where the vital 
union in the universe is made apparent 
when students become aware of the "glory 
that was Greece" through the 
language of sculpture. 



MESSAGE FOR HOMECOMING 13S7 





HOMECOMING celebration at Savannah 
State College is not at all a matter of routine. 
To have visited the College last year for the 
celebration or any other previous year would 
not be sufficient to give one an adequate con- 
cept of Homecoming for this institution. Each 
year finds the College and the celebration 
different and interesting. The rapid growth 
of the College, the changes in the physical 
plant, and the admission of more than two 
hundred fifty freshmen serve as a basis for 
the uniqueness of each year. The College is 
delighted to welcome alumni, former students, 
patrons, and friends to see and enjoy the Col- 
lege as it exists in 1957. 

The active participation of the alumni has 
been one of the areas in which the College 
has made unusual progress. Loyal alumni 
have been liberal in their expressions of con- 
fidence in and loyalty to the institution. 
Through the program of scholarship aid, the 
alumni have made a genuine contribution to 
the College. The entire student body, faculty, 
recipients of the scholarship aid, and the 
Board of Regents have benefited by the in- 
terest and effective participation of the alum- 
ni in the development of a finer and more 
effective educational program here at Savan- 
nah State College. 

The College desires that all who partici- 
pate in Homecoming this year will find the 
occasion one to be cherished. It is hoped that 
the activities including the football game will 
be a credit to the College and to our guests 
of Claflin College. 

W. K. Payne 
President 




iVi AN, according to Carlyle, is the trans- 
cendental unity of apperception. Through 
his perceptive faculties, he can pierce the 
visible cloak of Nature; through his in- 
tuitive powers, he can find the answer to 
the question "Who am I?" in Nature and 
in himself. 

A felicitous blending of the external 
and the intuitive is found in William Ken- 
neth Payne, who has watched the inner 
and outer garments of Savannah State Col- 
lege reveal themselves in a dynamic and 

Like the Renaissance courtier Hamlet, 
Dr. Payne exemplifies the qualities of the 
scholar and the gentleman. The important 
business of making the College a vantage 
ground for learning is foremost with him. 
Always impeccably and tastefully attired, 
he sets a pattern of demeanor that his 
staff and students deem worthy of emu- 

But, unlike the melancholy Danish 
prince, Dr. Payne is a man of conviction 
who must convert this conviction into con- 
duct. He symbolizes the precept that man 
must do the duty that lies nearest him, 
and he has achieved spiritual enfranchise- 
ment because of his acknowledgment that 
the "ideal world" is contained in this 
"so solid-seeming Earth." His life is de- 
voted to translating the real world of Sa- 
vannah State College into ; 
the ideal one of which so 
only. 

And of the one who 
this modern courtier, suffic 
her gentle qualities robe her 
ness and courtesy.

ONCE again, it is Homecoming, 
and the alumni are gathered to greet 
old friends, make new ones, inspect 
the physical changes, attend the 
football game and renew their 
pledge of allegiance to their Alma 
Mater. There may he those who 
returned for reasons other than 
those mentioned, but whatever the 
reason, welcome home! 

During the past twelve months, 
your National Alumni Association 
has been active in organizing new 
Chapters and encouraging those al- 
ready organized. The most recent 
Chapter to our ranks was organized 
in Washington, D. C. But, even with 
all of this fine work, still too many 
of us are unorganized and not ac- 
tively engaged in alumni affairs. 

To you, already at work for Sa- 
vannah State College through or- 
ganized Chapters, go our thanks 
and congratulations; to the unor- 
ganized, is the challenge to be up 
and doing in your local commun- 
ity. The services of Prince Jackson, 
Jr., our Alumni Secretary, are 
available to you. 

Let us unite ourselves and work 
to build a greater Savannah State 
College through our Alumni Schol- 
arship Fund. All contributions may 
be sent to the Office of the Alumni 
Secretary. 

Respectfully yours, 

Leonard D. Law, President

But whatever the harbingers 
evoke in our imaginations of 
things dread and wondrous to 
come, we pray, Alma Mater, 
that your dignity and serenity 
clothe us in our hour of naked 
awe and sustain us in our mo- 
ment of faltering . . . And so 
we come again home at the 
time of autumn and russet 
leaves  home to moss-clad 
oaks, home to springy marsh- 
land that has known Cherokee 
footfalls, home to Doric col- 
umns and modern line  con- 
fident that you, Alma Mater, 
will help us remember our 
promises to those yet not  
certain that you will give us 
courage to lay aside the net of 
metallic fear and let a piece 
of sun into darkness  assured 
that we can reach out and 
touch stars not yet set . . .

"The plain fact is that the college teachers

salaries, are subsidizing the education of 
students, and in some cases the luxuries of 
their families, by an amount which is more 
than double the grand total of alumni gifts, 
corporate gifts, and endowment income of all

Savannah State College Alumna 
Regional Teacher of the Year 



On 



ind an 



e more, a Savannah State College Alumna has been 
'Teacher of the Year" for Region 11. Mrs. Mazie 
W. Robinson, a Home Economics teacher at Scott Junior 
High School, has received this distinctive honor, and thereby 
symbolizes all teachers in the seventeen counties of Region 11. 
This recent honor conies as a result of Mrs. Robinson's having 
been chosen "Teacher of the Year" by the faculty of Scott 
Junior High School and Chatham County Teachers Asso- 
ciation. 

Mrs. Robinson has rendered many noteworthy services to 
local, state, and national professional organizations. She is 
the chairman of the social committee of Chatham County 
Teachers Association, chairman of the ninth grade Home- 
making Curriculum Planning Committee for the revision of 
the Homemaking curriculum for Chatham County, co-chair- 
man of Walter S. Scott P.T.A. Advisory committee, 
energetic advisor for the N.H.A. She has served o 
statewide committees and presided over the general 
at the last state vocational teachers convention. She was a 
voting delegate at the American Vocational Association con- 
vention which convened in Atlantic City, October 1963. 

She has exhibited genuine interest in the community and 
has displayed untiring efforts in community projects. These 
services include community projects dealing with family prob- 
lems, teaching classes for Red Cross and for the Chatham 
County Health Department, and fund raising drives for youth 
organizations. She is a member of St. Paul C.M.E. Church, 
and makes unique contributions to the church through the 
St. Paul C.M.E. Service Guild. 

Travel and educational tours of many states in our coun- 
try, Cuba, and Mexico serves as a background for adding 
color to the progressive teaching methods used by Mrs. Rob- 
inson. In January 1964, a poll made by an English class at 
Scott Junior High School showed that she received the high- 
est number of votes from students naming her the "Most 
Outstanding Teacher." 

Mrs. Robinson is a product of the local public schools, 
received her B.S. degree in Home Economics from Savannah 
State College and has done advanced study at Tuskegee and 
Stout State College.

Editorial 

During the last seventeen years, Savannah State College 
has been guided by four different Presidents. Dr. Benjamin 
F. Hubert left the College in June of 1947, and was succeeded 
by Dr. James A. Colston. Dr. Colston left in August of 1949. 
and was succeeded by Dr. William K. Payne. Dr. P.iyne died 
in July of 1963, and was succeeded by Dr. Howard Jordan. 
Jr. (Actually, we have had five Presidents, because Dean of 
Faculty, Timothy C. Meyers, served as acting President for 
about three months while the Board of Regents was in the 
process of appointing Dr. Jordan.) 

During these seventeen years, the alumni of the college 
have been becoming more active and strengthening our 
alumni organization. Although we are stronger today than 
at any time in our organization's history, we do not have 
nearly ten percent of our alumni actively participating in our 
alumni organization. 

Why do Alumni neglect their Alma Mater? There have 
been many reasons given, and this alumni neglect is suffered 
by ail colleges, from the outstanding Ivy Colleges down to 
the smallest of the extremely poor private colleges. Savannah 
State then, is no exception in this area. 

During the past seven months, we have seen an upward 
trend of alumni participation in our Alma Mater's affairs. 
There seems to be an entirely different kind of attitude 
towards our College, and Alumni are now working harder 
than ever before. The changes in organization to allow 
District units have proved to be a great unifying factor in 
the counties within 100 miles of the College. The actual 
organization of the other districts should really move us 
forward. The creation of the Office of the Executive Vice- 
President has helped the organization tremendously, and is 
being administered by one of our most capable alumni, Ben- 



jamin F. Lewis, "53." The individual Alu 
working harder and the leadership is beco 



Chapte 



vely 



As we enter the "Howard Jordan, Jr." era of our Alma 
Mater- it seems that we are definitely on the march. Dr. 
Jordan is making every effort to push us forward, along with 
his administration. We are sure that the next few years will 
find us, not only strong, but far more generous than at any 
time in our history. We are sure that alumni everywhere 
will join the march, and help us move our Alma Mater 
forward.

GREETING 
TO ALUMNI 



/ wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the officers and 
members of the Alumni Association along with members of the administra- 
tion, faculty, and student body, for the warm reception and strong support 
which I, as your sixth President, have received in my first year in office at 
Savannah State College. With the enthusiastic spirit which is evident among 
the alumni and the College family, it is certain that Savannah State College 
will move rapidly ahead in taking its rightful place among the leaders in 
the educational world. As we come to the close of our first year in office, 
we pledge to you our every effort towards the development of a program 
of academic and extra-class excellence to ivhich all alumni members and 
friends can look with pride. 

We especially want to thank the alumni for the generous support and 
contributions to our National Defense Education Act Scholarship Fund. 
Through this medium, the College will be able to offer greater assistance 
to young men and women in getting an education, which they may otherwise 
not have been able to afford. 

Elseivhere in this Bulletin, you will note the status of our Building 
Program. I am happy to report that it is moving along according to schedule. 

Mrs. Jordan and Judy join me in ivishing for all alumni, faculty, stu- 
dents, and friends the best of health and happiness during the summer vaca- 
tion. You have, with you always, our prayers and sincere good wishes.

Summer Science Training 
Program Announced 

Dr. Charles Pratt, Head, Department 
of Chemistry, announces the opening 
of the Summer Science Training Pro- 



Thii 



to 



provide opportunities for thirty high 
school students of outstanding ability in 
chemistry to spend eight weeks on the 
campus for advanced study in a college 
environment. 

The students will be able to study 
subject matter in modern chemistry 
which is not generally included in high 
school curricula. The students will fol- 
low a course that will include individual 
projects, and experiments emphasizing 
quantitative measurements. It is antici- 
pated that with the utilization of mod- 
ern instruments the experiments will be 
more intriguing. Standardized tests in 
chemistry, science and mathematics will 
be administered at the beginning and 
at the termination of the program. The 
purpose of the tests will be two-fold: 
( 1 ) to determine in what areas the stu- 
dents are weak, and (2) to measure 
their progress in the course. 



The school day will be from 8:30 
a.m. - 12:00 noon, and from 2:00 p.m. - 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 
The morning sessions will be devoted 
to formal lectures, problem sessions, 
film presentations, and lectures by guest 
speakers. The afternoon sessions will 
be devoted to chemistry projects, labora- 
tory and local field trips. The program's 
general objective will be an effort to 
enrich the student's knowledge of chem-

An Introduction to SSC 

Savannah Stale College, founded in 1890, is 
located in the historic eity of Savannah, Georgia, 
which is the oldest and chief seaport of the state 
as well as the first capital. 

A unit of the University System of Georgia, 
Savannah State College is a four-year accredited 
college of arts and sciences, teacher education, 
business administration and technology. 

Savannah State College has one of the most 
beautiful eampuses in the South. The campus 
comprises 136 acres of matchless natural beauty. 
Attractive new buildings are constantly being built. 
Put into use recently was Lockette Hall, an air- 
conditioned dormitory for 180 women students; 
Wiley-Willcox Physical Education Complex, which 
bouses a swimming pool; and W. K. Payne Hall, 
an air-conditioned classroom building. 

Tbe John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, con- 
structed at an approximate cost of $500,000, was 
opened (hiring the Winter Quarter. This building 
contains a Little Theatre for dramatics, classrooms, 
and laboratories for music, art, ceramics, and 
sculpture. 

A dormitory for 180 male students has been 
completed and will be opened during the Spring 
Quarter. This dormitory is located at the entrance 
of ibe campus on the corner of Falligant Avenue 
and Taylor Road. Il is a modern three-story 



facility, and contains ninety bedrooms of tbe studio 
type. This building includes a lobby, recreational 
ate is. and an apartment for tlie house director, 
barber shop, room for TV viewing, and laundro- 
mat. This dormitory is completely air-conditioned 
and was constructed at an approximate cost of 
8600,000. 

For the Biennium of 1966-68, Savannah State 
College has requested from the Board of Regents 
the following facilities: A Dining Hall-Cafeteria; 
A Natural Science Building; A Technical Home 
Economics Building; A Nursery School for Early 
Childhood Education, and a Student Union Build- 
ing. 

Tbe College now includes six divisions and 14 
departments which give students a wide variety of 
courses from which to select. Tbe major divisions 
are Business Administration, Education, Humani- 
ties, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Tech- 
nical Sciences. Through the offerings of these 
divisions, students may prepare for varied careers 
in the areas of art, modern foreign languages. 
English and literature, biology, chemistry, mathe- 
matics and physics, piiysical education, home 
economics, music, history, economics, sociology, 
political science, engineering technology, and in- 
dustrial education. 

Two-year programs of study are offered in 
Secretarial Science and Dressmaking and Tailor- 
ing. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, 
the student is awarded a certificate of proficiency. 




The Intellectual Center of The Campus 




Asa H. Gordon Library 



The library of the College is one of its most 
prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources 
and the nature of its services to students and 
faculty largely determine the quality of the 
academic program. On the Savannah State Col- 
lege campus, the library is an indispensable unit 
which undergirds the instructional program, as 
well as contributes to the recreational reading 
interests. The library is not an adjunct to teach- 
ing but the heart of the learning process. 

The library staff and faculty arc busy as- 
sembling a notable book collection to be used in 
active support of the academic curriculum. As- 
sembling a book collection is not enough! The 
librarian and his staff actively encourage students 
to use books with an emphasis on the role that 
books play in the intellectual life of the academic 
community. The resources of the library include 
51,250 volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 640 
periodicals, and 26 newspapers. The London 
Times, the New York Times, the Savannah Morn- 



Savannah Evening Prt 
iddilion to book matei 



ing News, and tlu 
on microfilm, in 
micro-print. 

"Let's Listen to a Story," hour under the di- 
rection of Mrs. Althea Anderson, Circulation 
Librarian, is held weekly for the children of the 
community. 

A Great Books Discussion Group, under the 
sponsorship of the library has been organized to 
encourage people to read and meet together to 
discuss great books. 

Exhibitions of paintings by some of the world's 
great artists are displayed in the library periodi- 
cally. 

A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly 
made the library a market place of ideas. 

All in all, the library of Savannah State Col- 
lege is an essential instrument in the life of the 
academic community.

The General Curriculum 



The General Education Program proposes to 
provide opportunities for all students to acquire 
the basic skills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and 
understandings requisite for the good life. 

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency 
in communication and thinking. It further pro- 
poses to orient students toward and to sensitize 
them to human and universal good and to the worth 
and dignity of every human being. 

At this college the general curriculum is pre- 
occupied with the major disciplines that: 

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of 
knowledge and human experience; 

2. Give them an understanding of themselves, 
their culture and physical environment; 



3. Provide the students with a sound in- 
tellectual and moral foundation upon which 
character and professional and vocational 
opportunity may rest. 

This program is concerned generally with fresh- 
man and sophomore students. However, some at- 
tention is devoted to students on the junior and 
senior level of their intellectual maturation. In 
this respect, general education is an integral phase 
of the experience of all students who matriculate 
for a degree at the College. 

The General Education Program is under the 
general supervision of the General Education Com- 
mittee and the Coordinator of General Education. 
The Committee consists of students and faculty 
members. 



The Divisions 



The formal instructional program of Savan- 
nah State College comprises the general curricu- 
lum, areas of major and minor concentration, and 
terminal curricula. The program is organized 
within these seven divisions: 



The Division of Business Administration 



The Division of Education 

Department of Elementary Education 
Department of Secondary Education 
Department of Health, Physical Education 
and Recreation 



The Division of Humanities 
Department of English 
Department of Fine Arts 
Department of Modern Languages 

The Division of Natural Sciences 
Department of Biology 
Department of Chemistry 
Department of Mathematics and Physics 

The Division of Social Sciences 

The Division of Technical Sciences 
Department of Home Economics 
Department of Engineering Technology 



Division of Business 
Administration 

Hayward S. Anderson, D.B.A., Chairman 

A high school student who is preparing for a 
career in business via the college route should 
direct his efforts toward becoming proficient in 
mathematics and English at the high school level. 
Proficiency in mathematics allows him to make 
quick use of quantitative tools in solving business 
problems. Proficiency in English permits him to 
communicate his ideas. The ability to do both are 
significant attributes of business personnel. 

Though not essential, since the college offers 
the necessary fundamentals, a student may also 
lake such courses as bookkeeping, shorthand, and 
other business subjects which are offered at his 
respective high school. Such an approach, at least, 
allows the student to make a tentative judgment 
as to whether or not he is favorably inclined toward 
specific subject areas. It should be pointed out un- 
equivocally, however, that business training, on 
the college level, embraces much more than type- 
writing and shorthand. 

Since more and more high school students are 
arriving at college with typing skills, it is recom- 
mended that a course in typewriting be taken. 
Entering students are exempted from typewriting 
courses in which they meet the course standards. 

Whether or not students interested in the secre- 
tarial or teaching programs should take shorthand 
in high school, since they are required courses in 
these college curricula, is a debatable question. 
Evidence at our institution suggests that the student 
might well spend the time that be might devote to 
shorthand in high school to additional preparation 
in grammar and composition, if he is not already 
proficient in these areas. 

One of the advantages of majoring in business 
is that one is preparing himself for a wide variety 
of employment possibilities. Opportunities exist 
for self-employment, for employment in private 
industry, and for employment with the government 
 national, state and local. 

Some positions, for which training in business 
at Savannah Stale College is designed to prepare 
students include: 

Entrepreneurs Secretaries 

Accountants Stenographers 

Bookkeepers Typists 

Salesmen Business Managers 

Economists Teachers of Business 

To realize the aims of a person desiring train- 
ing in business, Savannah State College's Division 
of Business offers courses leading to the degree 
of bachelor of science and a terminal, two-year 
program leading to a certificate of proficiency. 

A student who pursues a degree in business at 



this institution may concentrate his efforts in one 
of the following areas: (1) General Business Ad- 
ministration, (2) Accounting, (3) Economics, (4) 
Secretarial Science, and (5) The Program for 
Teachers of Business Education. In each of the 
above curricula, consideration has been given to 
the course requirements for graduate study. 

Because of the numerous job opportunities that 
exist currently for accountants and secretaries, 
students should become familiar with the attributes 
of successful accountants and secretaries as well 
as the nature of the job opportunities that are 
available. 

A student may find a challenging career in the 
field of accounting if he has analytical ability, if 
he has a facility with figures, and if he derives 
personal enjoyment while doing work which re- 
quires the use of these attributes. 

While numerous lists have been compiled 
which suggest attributes of a good secretary, the 
attributes of loyalty and a mastery of shorthand 
and typewriting are frequently mentioned. While 
the following list is by no means all inclusive, it, 
nevertheless, gives some further insight into desired 
attributes of a good secretary. A prospective em- 
ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial 
vacancy but in order to meet the job specifications 
the secretary had to have the following: a pleasing 
personality, facility with English, a mastery of tele- 
phone etiquette, courtesy, neatness in both appear- 
ance and work, and the ability to work with others. 
Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop many 
of these attributes early. 

Because occupations within the field of busi- 
ness are numerous and because the specific re- 
quired attributes within each occupation may vary, 
high school students are encouraged, in addition to 
utilizing their own counselors, to visit colleges and 
counsel with professors and counselors for guid- 
ance in career selection. 




Division of Education 

Tiielma Harmond, Ph.D., Chairman 
The Division of Education at Savannah State 
College is a member of the Association of Colleges 
for Teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula 
in teacher preparation and a program of basic 
training for teacher-librarians. These programs 
are approved by the State Department of Educa- 
tion. This means that satisfactory completion of 
any program brings automatic certification in the 
field of study pursued.

Aside fr 



strong academic classroom pro-

cation, the leaching major at Savannah Slate Col- 
lege has rich, varied, and meaningful laboratory 
experience which brings one into constant contact 
with children and youth. 







College-wide Provision For Teacher Education 



The Division comprises three departments: the 
Department of Elementary Education; the Depart- 
ment of Health, Physical Education and Recre- 
ation; and the Department of Secondary Educa- 
tion. The preparation of teachers is, however, a 



college-wide commitment. Because every division 
and department at the College is involved in train- 
ing teachers in some subject matter field, this 
function engages the constant interest and efforts, 
staff resources, and facilities of the entire in- 
stitution. 



Department of Health, 
Physical Education 
and Recreation 

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 recre- 
ation in the elementary and secondary schools. A 
parallel aim is advisement. The aim is to provide 
feu- all students instruction in the basic principles 
of health and recreational activity needed for 
wholesome living. 

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this De- 
partment provides a four-fold program of instruc- 
tion. For students who plan to become professional 
workers in the field of health, physical education, 
and recreation  either in schools or in other 
agencies  the department offers a sequence of 
specialized training to the degn I Bachelor of 



Science in Education, with a concentration in 
health, physical education, and recreation. 

In addition, for all students enrolled in teacher 
education curricula at Savannah State College, this 
department provides basic training in supervision 
of one or more phases of a comprehensive health, 
physical education, and recreation program in the 
schools of Georgia. This phase of the work is 
provided either in selected specialized courses or 
in a minor sequence. Further, for all students 
enrolled at the college this department provides 
instruction in the fundamental concepts and activi- 
ties of health, physical education, 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. 




Division of Humanities 

Forrest 0. Wiggins. Ph.D., Chairman 

The Division of Humanities, as its name im- 
plies, is concerned primarily with transforming 
the individual into a human and humane person. 
The technique for realizing this aim is that of 
serious study of the human heritage as it has heen 
recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy. 
In this manner the student deepens his appreciation, 
sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers, 
and incorporates himself in the mainstream of the 
best that has been thought and fell. 



The Division of Humanities provides oppor- 
tunities for majoring in English, music, the fine 
arts, French, and Spanish. The curricula in these 
areas are designed also to prepare teachers. Thus 
students who elect to teach become purveyors of 
the humanistic tradition. The College provides a 
mean- also for meeting the national need for per- 
sons trained in foreign languages. As future 
linguists and/ or teachers, students have an unusual 
opportunity at Savannah State College. A strong 
faculty in modern language in addition to a re- 
cently installed laboratory assures the students 
the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in 
this area. 



Religious Empha 





The Department of Fine Arts 




The Choral Society 

Music 



In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts 
at Savannah State College offers a major program lead- 
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Edu- 
cation and two minor programs  one for prospective 
teachers in the secondary schools and a nonteaching 
program. All of the curricula have been approved by the 
three national accrediting agencies  The Music Teachers 
National Association, the National Association of Schools 
of Music and the Music Educators National Conference, 
as well as by the State Board of Certification and the 
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. 

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and 
literature, performance, applied music, conducting and 
music education. Although 75 hours are required for 
state certification, a total of 82 hours constitutes the 
four-year music requirement at the College. Previous 
training of at least two years in any applied area is re- 
quired of all prospective majors, but skilled aptitude is 
recognized and accepted in lieu of this requirement if 
Most majors must pursue four years of train- 
piano, voice, or another instrument as well as 
s amount of time in their applied major area. In 
i to the music courses, all candidates for a degree 
take a large complement of courses in general education 
and the professional sequences. 

The five musical organizations  The Marching Band, 
The Concert Band. The Choral Society, The Women's 
Glee Club and the Men's Glee Club are each directed 
by a full-time faculty member and provide ample oppor- 
tunity for students inside and outside of the department 



jdditi- 



experiences in public performance which rai 
rams on the campus at assemblies, chui 
;spers, and special programs, to local televisi 
?s. concerts in the community, athletic gan 
home, and conceit tours in several states. 



One of the most important operations in this depart- 
ment is the awarding each year of a number of scholar- 
ships, called grants-in-aid, which are given to capable, 
worth) applicants in all organizations upon recommenda- 
tion of the department. Depending upon the aptitude, 
academic standing, and financial need of the student, 
these awards are sufficient at times to provide tuition for 
a full year. Grants are made, however, only to applicants 
who file the necessary forms, are recommended by the 
department, and are approved by the Committee on 
Scholarships. Recipients, encouraged to apply in the

the De- 



vour inquiries to 
ii. Department of 



Art 



The rewards can he great for a person with or 
without "artistic talent." To gain these rewards, 
one needs only the desire to learn and a good 
place in which to learn. The Art Department at 
Savannah State College provides students with an 
adequate environment for learning. If one has the 
desire, then he can progress at Savannah State 
College. 

The Ait Department is located in new quarters, 
especially designed and equipped with modern 
studios and lecture rooms being brought up-to-date, 
making it possible to teach the latest use of books 
and methods in lithography etching, serigiaphv. 
ceramic, sculpture, and painting. 

Students who have studied art at Savannah 
State College have reaped many rewards. Some 
have won large sums of money in art competition. 
Some are enjoying the success of exhibiting their 
art at qualified galleries. One former student is 
in the Pentagon in Washington. D. C. where he is 



the knowledge of art acquired here. Others 
successful careers as teachers of art. And, 



others hav 
ichools thi< 



gone on to more advanced studies 
ighout the country. 



Art students at Savannah State College oc- 
casionally have opportunities of getting first-hand 
experience, as a number of art jobs of short dura- 
tion come into the Art Department. There are some 
jobs of a more permanent nature waiting to be 
filled. 

The Art Department is prepared and eager to 
help students in many ways. The rewards can be 
plentiful for those who are seeking; and when they 
acquire a Bachelor of Science Degree in Ait Edu- 
cation, they will find that rewards other than 
salary, position, dignity, or fame await them. They 
may learn, ultimately, to enrich their lives with 
things which do not pass so quickly; for, to know 
and to be able to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine 
reward. 




Modern Languages 



The Department of Modern Languages offers 
instruction in three languages: French. German 
and Spanish. The primary aim of the members 
of the Department is to teach the student to under- 
stand, speak, read and write these languages so 
that he may communicate with others who speak 
them. This instruction is carried on in daily recita- 
tions in the classroom and also in a modern twenty 
booth laboratory where the student can increase 
his proficiency by listening to and repeating 
exercises of various types especially prepared for 
this purpose. For students who wish to develop 
more than an elementary proficiency in French or 



Spanish, the Department offers courses leading to 
a minor in either language. It also offers courses 
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in 
Education with a concentration either in French 
or Spanish. 

Outside of the field of education, a person 
with a major in a foreign language can find em- 
ployment in several areas. First, there is the area 
of organizations more or less international in 
character. Because of the nature of its work, there 
is almost a constant demand at the United Nations 
Headquarters for men and women who are pro- 
ficient in foreign languages. 



Receiving; Line for Reception for Senic 




Division of Natural Sciences 

Booker T. Griffith. Ph.D., Chairman 

The Division of Natural Sciences is proud of the record that it has made in helping young people find 
-elves in the scientific and mathematical world during the last quarter of a century. 



Department of Biology 




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



In addition to the required general courses, 
this department offers courses leading to the de- 
gree of Bachelor of Science with a major in biology. 
This department offers also a minor. 

The Biology Department is proud of its achieve- 
ments during the last several years. It takes great 
pride in reviewing the records of some of its 
graduates. 



Department of Chemistry 



The Department of Chemistry has grown by 
leaps and hounds in the past few years. The teach- 
ing staff, teaching space and equipment have been 
increased one hundred per cent. 

The Department has been quite successful in 
obtaining funds from Chemical Societies and the 
National Science Foundation to sponsor several 
significant programs such as the In-Service In- 
stitute for teachers of Chemistry and General 
Science in secondary education and the Summer 
Science Program for selected high school students. 

Many research projects are carried out by the 
students in cooperation with the department's active 
research program. The Department feels that re- 
search projects serve as good preparation for more 
highly developed and specialized research that 
the students will encounter in graduate school. The 
research program serves as an outlet of expression 
of the student's scientific interest and capabilities 
other than in the classroom and gives him experi- 
ence in employing the scientific methods in problem 
solving. 

The Department of Chemistry provides basic 
training for higher education  work leading to 
the Master of Science and Ph.D. degree. In addi- 




tion to this it provides all of the chemistry needed 
in pie-nursing, pre-dental and pre-medical edu- 
cation. 

The curriculum has been revised so that the 
student will receive a substantial number of courses 
ill mathematics, physics, and biology which will 
aid him in becoming a better Chemist. 

The Department believes in creativity, freedom 
of exploration, productivity, hard work, and 
recreation. 



The Department of 
Mathematics and Physics 

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are 
being continually revised to keep in step with the 
recommendations released by the School Mathe- 
matics Study Group in 1960. The textbooks, course 
outlines, and other materials are continuously be- 
ing changed in order to meet today's challenge. 
The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis 
to the PSSC recommendations for college Physics. 

The objectives of the department are not only 
to prepare better teachers of Mathematics and 
Physics, but also to provide them with the courses 
necessary to do further study in areas like linear 
programming and computing, statistical research, 
electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe- 
matics for various phases of industry research, 
actuary science and over twenty branches of gov- 
ernmental service.

Division of 
Technical Sciences 

Clyde W. Hall, Ed.D., Chairman 
The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to 
accomplish two major objectives: (1) to provide 
students with sufficient specialized training in 
engineering technology, technical home economics 
and industrial teacher education to meet entry em- 
ployment requirements in these areas; and (2) to 
provide students with a broad liberal education 
which includes study in the general areas of com- 
munications, mathematics, the natural sciences, 
the behavioral and social sciences, and the fine 
arts. 

In order to achieve the above objectives, the 
Division of Technical Sciences is organized into 



two departments which offer curricula leading to 
the Bachelor of Science degree. The Department 
oi Engineering Technology offers programs in 
building construction technology, electronics tech- 
nology, industrial arts education, mechanical tech- 
nology and trade and industrial education, and 
'the Department of Home Economics affords oppor- 
tunity for students to major in foods and nutrition 
and institutional management, and textiles and 
clothing. 

Individuals interested in careers in the tech- 
nical sciences should be well grounded in the ap- 
plied sciences. Such high school subjects as 
physics, algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry 
and industrial shop are very desirable for persons 
planning to pursue engineering technology cur- 
ricula, and chemistry and homemaking are essential 
for tbose interested in technical home economics.

Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr. 



It is indeed a very great pleasure for me to ex- 
tend on behalf of the administration, faculty, and 
student body, greetings to all prospective students 
who are seriously considering Savannah State College 
as your college and to all of our friends everywhere. 
Our college welcomes all of you! 

Since the founding of the college on November 
26, 1890, Savannah State has been primarily con- 
cerned with developing a strong program of educa- 
tion and training for all students. We feel that the 
college, today, is an exciting and challenging place 
to spend four of the most important years of your 
life. It is challenging because it has an excellent 
faculty, a rapidly expanding student body, viable 
programs, and excellent facilities for study, research, 
and relaxation. It is exciting because it is a place 
where minds can meet and exchange ideas, for the 
purpose of solving problems presented by our modern 
society. The college is proud of its reputation for 
excellence which is reflected in the outstanding per- 
formance of its graduates in many varied vocations 
and professions all over the United States of America. 

Savannah State College regards itself as an urban 
college and as such, recognizes that it must meet the 
challenges of the urban crisis in realistic, and even 
self-critical terms. In this connection, we are con- 
stantly striving to develop more understanding of 
the process of urbanization, and we are devising 
more effective programs and approaches to solving 
current urban problems. The college offers courses 
leading to the baccalaureate degree, with a major 



in each of the following areas of concentration: Ac 
counting; Biology; Chemistry; Civil Technology 
Dietetics and Institutional Management; Economics 
Elementary Education; Electronics Technology; Eng 
lish; General Business Administration; Mathematics 
Mechanical Technology; Secondary Education 
Secretarial Science; Social Sciences; Textiles and 
Clothing. 

During the summer of 1968, a Graduate Pro- 
gram leading to the Master's Degree in Elementary 
Education was inaugurated. All of our programs of 
teacher education now enjoy five-year approval by 
the State Department of Education. 

A ten-year Development Plan, which was started 
four years ago, continues to provide better and more 
attractive facilities, well-equipped laboratories and 
classrooms, and modern comfortable dormitories. 

This Information Bulletin which has been de- 
veloped for you will graphically describe the facili- 
ties and programs and will answer many questions 
about the college which you may have. 

Again, it is a pleasure to greet you and we in- 
vite you to visit with us and learn more about our 
college. 




Welcome to 

Savannah State College 



Savannah State College, a unit of the University

Asa H. Gordon Library 



The Intellectual Center of the Campus 



The Library of the College is one of its most 
prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources 
and the nature of its services to students and faculty 
largely determine the quality of the academic pro- 
gram. On the Savannah State College campus, the 
library is an indispensable unit which undergirds 
the instructional program, as well as contributes to 
the recreational reading interests. The library is not 
an adjunct to teaching; but the heart of the learning 
process. 

The library staff and faculty are busy assembling 
a notable book collection to be used in active support 
of the academic curriculum. Assembling a book 
collection is not enough! The librarian and his staff 



actively encourage students to use books with an 
emphasis on the role that books play in the intellectual 
life of the academic community. 

The resources of the library include 73,338 
volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 710 periodi- 
cals, and 57 newspapers. The London Times, the 
New York Times, the Savannah Morning News, and 
the Savannah Evening Press, are on microfilm, in 
addition to book materials in micro-print. 

A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly 
made the library a market place of ideas. 

All in all, the library at Savannah State College 
is an essential instrument in the life of the academic 
community.

Graduate Program 



The Master of Science degree program is de- 
signed to further the professional growth and com- 
petency of persons choosing a career in public edu- 
cation. Specific objectives are to improve their pro- 
fessional skills and competencies; to expand their 
professional and cultural backgrounds; to further 
their knowledge, appreciation, and understanding of 
their areas of specialization; and to deepen their 
appreciation and performance in scientific investi- 
gation. 

For admission to the graduate program, an ap- 
plicant must comply with the general requirements 
prescribed by the University System. In addition, the 
applicant (1) must have earned a bachelor's degree 
from a regionally accredited college; (2) must hold, 
or become eligible for, a professional certificate in 
the area in which graduate study is contemplated; 
(3) must have earned a minimum score of 450 on 
the National Teacher Common Examinations; (4) 
must have submitted two official transcripts of all 
courses attempted at the undergraduate level as well 
as previous graduate study; and (5) must have re- 
ceived the approval of the Chairman of the Division 
of Education. 

Admission is restricted to include only those stu- 
dents whose academic records indicate that they can 
successfully undertake graduate work. For admission 
as a regular student in full graduate standing, a 
minimum undergraduate average of 2.5 (C+) is 
required. 

Students who apply for admission to a program 
leading to a graduate degree are classified as degree 
students. Students who wish to enroll in a course or 
courses without regard to degree requirements are 
classified as non-degree students. 

The graduate program in education consists of 
sixty quarter hours. These include twenty hours of 
professional education and research, twenty-five 
hours in a specialized field, and fifteen hours of 
electives. The fifteen hours of electives are taken 
either in subject matter courses or professional edu- 
cation, or distributed between these tw : o subject areas, 
subject to the needs and wishes of the student and to 
the approval of the advisor(s). 

The program breakdown is as follows: 
20 hours  Professional Education and 

Research 
25 hours  Specialized Content 



15 hours  Electives (Professional, subject 
matter, or both) 

Twenty hours in professional education and re- 
search is required. These courses briefly described, 
include (1) Advanced Studies in Human Develop- 
ment and Learning or The Nature and Conditions of 
Human Learning; (2) Curriculum Planning; (3) 
Social Foundations of Education; and (4) Educa- 
tional Research or Field Project. 

The twenty-five hours of specialized content are 
designed to assist the teacher toward becoming a 
master teacher through the mastery of meaningful 
sequential concepts and skills related to specific 
fields of knowledge. The Division of Education is 
working with academic Divisions to encourage their 
development of courses that may be selected by ele- 
mentary teachers as areas of concentration. The 
science department has begun developing several 
such courses. According to present and prospective 
staff strength, areas of concentration are planned in 
(1) social sciences; (2) science; (3) reading, speech, 
and linguistics; (4) foreign languages; (5) mathe- 
matics and science; and, (6) art and music. 

The fifteen hours of electives are planned for in- 
creasing the student's overall competency either 
through (1) adding further strength to a developed 
interest area, or (2) developing an additional inter- 
est outlet, or (3) compensating for identified needs. 
Electives may be selected from among professional 
education, subject matter courses, and suggested 
elective areas. 

Upon admission to the graduate program, the stu- 
dent is assigned an advisor who guides the student 
in developing his program. Not later than mid-point 
in his program, or by the time that thirty quarter 
hours have been earned, the student is required to 
file an application for admission to candidacy. 

Approval of that application is a certification 
that the student has made satisfactory progress to 
that point and that he is being granted candidacy 
admission subject to the conditions that follow: 

Certification by his advisors that (a) he has made 
satisfactory progress in all courses pursued; (b) that 
he has received a satisfactory score on the National 
Examinations; and (c) that he has earned an under- 
graduate degree from an approved institution in a 
program which meets the approval of the Division 
of Education of the College. 



Five hundred (500) courses may be taken by 
undergraduates (juniors and seniors) and graduates, 
but 600 courses are open only to graduate students.

The General Curriculum 



The General Education Program proposes to pro- 
vide opportunities for all students to acquire the basic 
skills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and under- 
standings requisite for the good life. 

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency 
in communication and thinking. It further proposes 
to orient students toward and to sensitize them to 
human and universal good and to the worth and 
dignity of every human being. 

At this college the general curriculum is pre- 
occupied with the major disciplines that: 

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of 
knowledge and human experience; 

2. Give them an understanding of themselves, 
their culture and physical environment; 



3. Provide the students with a sound intellectual 
and moral foundation upon which character 
and professional and vocational opportunity 
may rest. 

This program is concerned generally with fresh- 
man and sophomore students. However, some atten- 
tion is devoted to students on the junior and senior 
level of their intellectual maturation. In this respect, 
general education is an integral phase of the experi- 
ence of all students who matriculate for a degree at 
the College. 

The General Education Program is under the 
general supervision of the General Education Com- 
mittee and the Coordinator for General Education. 
The Committee consists of students and faculty mem- 
bers.

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 



A high school student who is preparing for a career in 
business via the college route should direct his efforts 
toward becoming proficient in mathematics and English at 
the high school level. Proficiency in mathematics allows 
him to make quick use of quantitative tools in solving 
business problems. Proficiency in English permits him to 
communicate his ideas. The ability to do both are significant 
attributes of business personnel. 



Though not essential, since the college offers the neces- 
sary fundamentals, a student may also take such courses 
as bookkeeping, shorthand, and other business subjects 
which are offered at his respective high school. Such an 
approach, at least, allows the student to make a tentative 
judgment as to whether or not he is favorably inclined 
toward specific subject areas. It should be pointed out 
unequivocally, however, that business training, on the 
college level, embraces much more than typewriting and 
shorthand. 



Since more and more high school students 
at college with typing skills, it is recommended that a course 
in typewriting be taken. Entering students are exempted 
from typewriting courses in which they meet the course 
standards. 

Whether or not students interested in the secretarial or 
teaching programs should take shorthand in high school, 
since they are required courses in these college curricula, is 
a debatable question. Evidence at our institution suggests 
that the student might well spend the time that he might 
devote to shorthand in high school to additional preparation 
in grammar and composition, if he is not already proficient 
in these areas. 

One of the advantages of majoring in business is that 
one is preparing himself for a wide variety of employment 
possibilities. Opportunities exist for self-employment, for 
employment in private industry, and for employment with 
the government  national, state and local. 

Some positions, for which training in business at Savan- 
nah State College is designed to prepare students include: 
Entrepreneurs Secretaries 

Accountants Stenographers 

Bookkeepers Typists 

Salesmen Business Managers 

Economists Teachers of Business 



To realize the aims of a person desiring trail 
business, Savannah State College's Division of Bu 
offers cpurses leading to the degree of bachelor of i 
and a terminal, two-year program leading to a certificate 
of proficiency. 



A student who pursues a degree in business at this in- 
stitution may concentrate his efforts in one of the follow- 
ing areas: (1) General Business Administration, (2) Ac- 
counting, (3) Economics, (4) Secretarial Science, and (5) 
The Program for Teachers of Business Education. In each 
of the above curricula, consideration has been given to the 
course requirements for graduate study. 

Because of the numerous job opportunities that exist 
currently for accountants and secretaries, students should 
become familiar with the attributes of successful account- 
ants and secretaries as well as the nature of the job oppor- 
tunities that are available. 



A student may find a challenging career in the field of 
accounting if he has analytical ability, if he has a facility 
with figures, and if he derives personal enjoyment while 
doing work which requires the use of these attributes. 

While numerous lists have been compiled which suggest 
attributes of a good secretary, the attributes of loyalty and 
a mastery of shorthand and typewriting are frequently 
mentioned. While the following list is by no means all 
inclusive, it, nevertheless, gives some further insight into 
desired attributes of a good secretary. A prospective em- 
ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial vacancy, but 
in order to meet the job specifications, the secretary had 
to have the following: a pleasing personality, facility with 
English, a mastery of telephone etiquette, courtesy, neatness 
in both appearance and work, and the ability to work with 
others. Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop many 
of these attributes early. 



;upations within the field of business are 
and because the specific required attributes with- 
in each occupation may vary, high school students are 
encouraged, in addition to utilizing their own counselors, to 
visit colleges and counsel with professors and counselors 
for guidance in career selection.

DIVISION OP EDUCATION 



The Division of Education at Savannah State College 
is a member of the Association of Colleges for Teachers 
Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher preparation 
and a program of basic training for teacher-librarians. These 
programs are approved by the State Department of Educa- 
tion. This means that satisfactory completion of any pro- 
gram brings automatic certification in the field of study 
pursued. 

A person majoring in Education at Savannah State 



College is the concern of every division and department of 
the College, therefore, the resources and facilities  as well 
as the interest and efforts of the entire institution, are at 
his disposal. 

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in 
general, specialized, and professional education, the teach- 
ing major at Savannah State College has rich, varied, and 
meaningful laboratory experience which brings one into 
constant contact with children and youth. 



COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION 



The Division comprises three departments: the Depart- 
ment of Elementary Education; the Department of Health, 
Physical Education and Recreation; and the Department of 
Secondary Education. The preparation of teachers is, how- 
ever, 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 constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facili- 
ties of the entire institution. 



DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION 
AND RECREATION 



The essential aim of the Department of Health, Phyi 
Education and Recreation is to afford professional training 
for pre-service and in-service teachers of health, phys: 
education, and recreation in the elementary and secondary 
schools. A parallel aim is advisement. The aim is to pro- 
vide for all students instruction in the basic principles ( 
health and recreational activity needed for wholesome livin; 

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this Departmenl 
provides a four-fold program of instruction. For students 
who plan to become professional workers in the field 
health, physical education, and recreation  either in school: 
or in other agencies  the department offers a sequence 
specialized training to the degree of Bachelor of Science ir 
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 comprehensive health, physical education, and recre- 
ation program in the schools of Georgia. This phase of the 
work is provided either in selected 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 edu- 
cation, and recreation as an essential phase of general 
education. 

Finally, this department serves the college community 
through instruction and leadership in the intramural pro- 
gram. 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.

DIVISION OF HUMANITIES 



The Division of Humanities, as its name implies, is con- 
cerned primarily with transforming the individual into a 
human and humane person. The technique for realizing 
this aim is that of serious study of the human heritage as 
it has been recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy. 
In this manner the student deepens his appreciation, 
sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers, and 
incorporates himself in the mainstream of the best that has 
been thought and felt. 



The Dii 



of Humanities provides opportunities for 



majoring in English, music, the fine arts, French, and 
Spanish. The curricula in these areas are designed also to 
prepare teachers. Thus students who elect to teach become 
purveyors of the humanistic tradition. The College provides 
a means also for meeting the national need for persons 
trained in foreign languages. As future linguists and/or 
teachers, students have an unusual opportunity at Savan- 
nah State College. A strong faculty in modern languages, 
in addition to a recently installed laboratory assures the 
students the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in 
this area. 



THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS 



MUSIC 



In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at 
Savannah State College offers a major program leading to 
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Education and 
two minor programs  one for prospective teachers in the 
secondary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the 
curricula have been approved by the three national accredit- 
ing agencies  The Music Teachers National Association, 



the National Association of Schools of Music and the Music 
Educators National Conference, as well as by the State 
Board of Certification and the Board of Regents of the 
University System of Georgia. 

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and 
literature, performance, applied music, conducting and 
music education. Although 75 hours are required for state 




The John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center 




Alpha Kappa Mu Recepti 



certification, a total of 82 hours constitutes the four-year 
music requirement at the College. Previous training of at 
least two years in any applied area is required of all pros- 
pective majors, but skilled aptitude is recognized and ac- 
cepted in lieu of this requirement if necessary. Most majors 
must pursue four years of training in piano, voice, or 
another instrument, as well as the same amount of time in 
their applied area. In addition to the mu 
candidates for a degree take a large complement of 
in general education and the professional sequences. 

The five musical organizations  The Marching Band, 
The Concert Band, the Choral Society, The Women's Glee 
Club, and The Men's Glee Club  are each directed by a 
full-time faculty member and provide ample opportunity 
for students inside and outside of the department to receive 
experiences in public performance which range from pro- 
grams on the campus at assemblies, church services, vespers, 
and special programs, to local television appearances, con- 
cert in the community, athletic games away from home, and 
concert tours in several states. 

One of the most important operations in this department 
is the awarding each year of a number of scholarships, 



called grants-in-aid, which are given to capable, worthy 
applicants in all organizations upon recommendation of 
the department. Depending upon the aptitude, academic 
standing, and financial need of the student, these awards 
are sufficient at times to provide tuition for a full year. 
Grants are made, however, only to applicants who file the 
ary forms, are recommended by the department, and 
proved by the Committee on Scholarships. Recipients, 
aged to apply in the spring, are usually notified dur- 
ing the summer, well in advance of the opening of the Fall 
Quarter. 

The present facilities provide space for classes, organ- 
izational rehearsals, practice periods, listening room, and 
offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and band instru- 
ments are provided, both without charge. Complete uniforms, 
robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished to members of 
rganizations. 



For any additional information concerning the Depart- 
ment, please feel free to address your inquiries to Dr. Cole- 
ridge A. Braithwaite, Chairman, Department of Fine Arts, 
Savannah State College. 



ART 



The rewards can be great for a person with or without 
"artistic talent." To gain these rewards, one needs only the 
desire to learn and a good place in which to learn. The 
Art Department at Savannah State College provides students 
with an adequate environment for learning. If one has the 
desire, then he can progress at Savannah State College. 

The Art Department is located in new quarters, especially 
designed and equipped with modern studios and lecture 
rooms making it possible to teach the latest use of books 
and methods in lithography etching, serigraphy, ceramics, 
sculpture, and painting. 

Students who have studied art at Savannah State College 
have reaped many rewards. Some have won large sums of 
money in art competition. Some are enjoying the success 
of exhibiting their art at qualified galleries. One former 
student is in the Pentagon in Washington, D. C, where he 



the knowledge of art acquired here. Others have 
ul careers as teachers of art. And, still others have 
gone on to more advanced studies in schools throughout 
the country. 

Art students at Savannah State College occasionally 
have opportunities to get first-hand experience, as a number 
of art jobs of short duration come into the Art Department. 
There are some jobs of more permanent nature waiting to 
be filled. 

The Art Department is prepared and eager to help 
students in many ways. The rewards can be plentiful for 
those who are seeking; and when they acquire a Bachelor 
of Science Degree in Art Education, will find that rewards 
other than salary, position, dignity, or fame await them. 
They may learn, ultimately to enrich their lives with things 
which do not pass so quickly; for, to know and to be able 
to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine reward. 




MODERN LANGUAGES 



The Department of Modern Languages offers instruction 
in three languages: French, German, and Spanish. The 
primary aim of the members of the Department is to teach 
the student to understand, speak, read and write these 
languages so that he may communicate with others who 
speak them. This instruction is carried on in daily recitations 
in the classroom and also in a modern twenty booth labora- 
tory where the student can increase his proficiency by listen- 
ing to and repeating exercises of various types especially 
prepared for this purpose. For students who wish to develop 
more than an elementary proficiency in French or Spanish, 
the Department offers courses leading to a minor in either 



language. It also offers courses leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in 
French or Spanish. 

Outside of the field of education, a person with a major 
in foreign language can find employment in several areas. 
First, there is the area of organizations more or less inter- 
national in character. Because of the nature of its work, 
there is almost a constant demand at the United Nations 
Headquarters for men and women who are proficient in 



DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES 



vision of Natural Sciences is proud of the record 
made in helping young people find themselves 



in the scientific and 
quarter of a century. 



DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 



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



In addition to the required general courses, the depart- 
ment offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of 
Science with a major in biology. This department offers 

The Biology Department is proud of its achievements 
during the last several years. It takes great pride in review- 
ing the records of some of its graduates. 



DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY 



The Department of Chemistry has grown by leaps and 
bounds in the past few years. The teaching staff, teaching 
space and equipment have been increased one hundred per 
cent. 

The Department has been quite successful in obtaining 
funds from Chemical Societies and the National Science 
Foundation to sponsor several significant programs such as 
the In-Service Institute for Teachers of Chemistry and Gen- 
eral Science in secondary education and the Summer Science 
Program for selected high school students. 

Many research projects are carried out by the students 
in cooperation with the department's active research pro- 
gram. The Department feels that research projects serve 
as good preparation for more highly developed and special- 
ized research that the students will encounter in graduate 



school. The research program serves as an outlet for the 
expression of the student's scientific interest and capabilities 
other than in the classroom and gives him experience in 
employing the scientific methods in problem solving. 

The Department of Chemistry provides basic training 
for higher education  work leading to the Master of Science 
and Ph.D. degree. In addition to this it provides all of the 
chemistry needed in pre-nursing, pre-dental and pre-medical 
education. 

The curriculum has been revised so that the student will 
receive a substantial number of courses in mathematics, 
physics, and biology which will aid him in becoming a 
better Chemist. 

The Department believes in creativity, freedom of ex- 
ploration, productivity, hard work, and recreation.

THE DEPARTMENT OP MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS 



The Mathematics curriculum and courses are being con- 
tinually revised to keep in step with the recommendations 
released by the School Mathematics Group in 1960. The 
textbooks, course outlines, and other materials are con- 
tinuously being changed in order to meet today's challenge. 
The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis to the 
PSSC recommendations for college Physics. 



The objectives of the department are not only to prepare 
better teachers of Mathematics and Physics, but also to 
provide them with the courses necessary to do further study 
in areas like linear programming and computing, statistical 
research, electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe- 
matics for various phases of industry research, actuary 
science and over 20 branches of governmental i

DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES 



The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to accomplish 
two major objectives: (1) to provide students with sufficient 
specialized training in engineering technology, technical 
home economics and industrial teacher education to meet 
entry employment requirements in these areas; and (2) to 
provide students with a broad liberal education which in- 
cludes study in the general areas of communications, 
mathematics, the natural sciences, the behavioral and social 
sciences, and the fine arts. 

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Division 
of Technical Sciences is organized into two departments 
which offer curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science 
degree. The Department of Engineering Technology offers 
programs in building construction technology, electronics 
technology, industrial arts education, mechanical technology, 
and trade and industrial education. 

The Department of Home Economics affords opportunity 
for students to major in dietetics and institutional manage- 
ment. This four-year program is approved by the American 
Dietetic Association. 

This pre-professional dietetic course which leads to the 



Bachelor of Science degree prepares the student for im- 
mediate internship This internship is a required fifth- 
year of on-the-job training. The twelve-month internship 
may be taken in hospital dietetics, medical dietetics, food 
clinic dietetics, public health and social agencies, college 
institutional food administration, or food business adminis- 
tration. 

The undergraduate curriculum in dietetics contains a 
minor concentration in chemistry. If desired, students may 
be prepared for laboratory careers in scientific food re- 
search, or in new food and recipe development for civilian 



and army 

The Home Economics Department also offers the oppor- 
tunity for students to major in textiles and clothing. 

Individuals interests in careers in the technical sciences 
should be well grounded in the applied sciences. Such high 
school subjects as physics, algebra , plane geometry, 
trigonometry and industrial shop are very desirable for 
persons planning to pursue engineering technology curricula. 
Chemistry and homemaking are essential for those interested 
in technical home i

Why Alumni Should Give 
To Savannah State College 

1. You can provide the opportunity for a better 
life through education for deserving youth: 
scholarships, loans, campus jobs, etc. One 
dollar can bring in nine additional dollars for 
student aid. 

2. Your gift will be proof of a strong loyal, con- 
tributing alumni group. Foundations, busi- 
nesses, organizations, and individuals who are 
interested in giving to Savannah State College 
will be influenced by the extent of alumni 
support. 

3. Your contributions will enable Savannah State 
College to match available federal funds for 
research, for community service, and for train- 
ing the deprived. 

4. Savannah State College continues to be the 
College in the state which educates the largest 
number of Negro youth. Yet, a substantial per- 
cent of Negro high school graduates do not en- 
roll in any college. Your gift will cause the 
open hand of welcome to continue to extend 
from Savannah State College to the high school 
graduate who might not otherwise enter college. 

5. Now is the time to build the foundation for a 
solid alumni annual fund. What you assist in 
starting will become a fund with an impact. 

6. Your gift may influence another alumnus who 
otherwise would not contribute. 

7. When you were a student at Savannah State 
College, you, your parents, and others invested 
in you. That investment is there yet. You have 
received regular dividends. Increase your in- 
vestment. Better educational opportunities for 
others will add to your dividends. 

8. As a person with a college education, you should 
support education. // you dont believe in Sa- 
vannah State College, who will? 

9. Why should you give to Savannah State College? 
BECAUSE YOU CAN AFFORD TO DO IT! 
You probably have never had a higher income 
than you have now. AFFLUENT PEOPLE 
GIVE! ! ! 



President of Morehouse College Speaks at SSC 



Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, president of Morehouse College, 
Atlanta, Georgia, was the annual Honors Convocation speak- 
er at Savannah State College on Friday, January 24, at 10:20 

Dr. Gloster began his higher education at LeMoyne Col- 
lege, where he received a junior college diploma and in 1967 
was elected Alumnus of the Year. Next he attended More- 
house College, where he received the B.A. degree in English, 
and Atlanta University, where he received the M.A. degree 
in the same field. Later, he entered New York University, 
where he received the Ph.D. degree in English. 

The early years of Dr. Gloster's teaching career closely 
followed the path of his higher education. He taught first at 
LeMoyne College and then at Morehouse College. While a 
member of the Morehouse faculty, he offered graduate 
courses at Atlanta University during the regular and sum- 
mer terms. During the summer of 1949, he was Guest 
Professor of American Literature at Washington Square 
College of New York University, and during the summer 
of 1962, he held the same position in the Graduate School 
of Arts and Sciences at that institution. 

During World War II, Dr. Gloster was a professional 
staff member with USO. After a year as a USO Program 
Director at Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, he served two years 
as a USO Associate Regional Executive with headquarters 
in Atlanta. While in this office, he conducted a course in 
USO Policy and Practice at the Atlanta University School 
of Social Work. 

From 1946-67, Dr. Gloster was Professor of English 
and Chairman of the Communications Center at Hampton 
Institute. Under his leadership the Communications Center 
became one of the country's outstanding college language 
departments. From 1952-62, he was also Director of the 
Summer Session at Hampton Institute. In this position, he 
originated Hampton's pioneering pre-college program in 
1952, promoted the redevelopment of the graduate program, 
and established summer institutes for in-service teachers. 
Dr. Gloster was Dean of Faculty at Hampton Institute from 
1963-67. In this capacity, he gave leadership in the up- 
grading of the academic program and in the launching of 
special educational projects supported by foundation and 
government grants. 

Dr. Gloster has written numerous articles dealing with 
life and literature and has given many lectures 
in this field. He is the author of Negro Voices in 
Fiction (Chapel Hill: The University of North 
a Press, 1948), the definitive work in its special 
area, and the co-editor of The Brown Thrust (Memphis: 
Malcolm-Roberts, 1935), an anthology of verse by Negro 
college students, and of My Life  My Country  My World 
(New York: Prentice-Hall, 1952), one of the more success- 
ful freshman English anthologies of the 1950's. 

As a lecturer, Dr. Gloster has appeared in schools and 
colleges throughout the country. In 1952, he made lecture 
tours of colleges and universities in the Far West and New 
England under the auspices of the American Friends Ser- 
vice Committee, and in 1956 and 1959, he made lecture 
tours of colleges in Connecticut. 

From 1953 to 1955, Dr. Gloster was a Fullbright Pro- 
fessor of Hiroshima University in Japan. While in Japan, 
he traveled throughout the four main islands, where he 
gave over a hundred lectures on American life and litera-

United States via Hong Kong, Thailand, Burma, India, 
Pakistan, Italy, France and England thereby adding to his 
knowledge of the people of Asia and Europe and completing 
a trip around the world. After his return to the United 
States from the Orient, Dr. Gloster gave many lectures on 
Japan at American colleges and wrote several articles on 
Japan for national publications. Moreover, because of his 
experience in the Far East he was invited to serve in the 
summer of 1955 as a staff member in the Orientation Cen- 
ter for Foreign Graduate Students at the College of William 
and Mary and later in the year in Washington as a member 
of a committee which screened lecturers and post-doctoral 
research scholars applying for Fulbright awards in Asia 
and the Near East during the academic year 1956-57. 

During the summer of 1960, he was Professor of English 
and Director of the Summer Session in the Experimental 
College conducted by Hampton Institute in the Virgin 
Islands. During the academic year 1961-62, he served in 
the State Department's International Educational Exchange 
Program as Visiting Professor of American Literature at

SSC To Launch Its First Annual Community Support Program 



Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., announces that the College 
will launch its First Annual Community Support Program 
on Monday, April 21. The program will end on May 3. 

Through this organized effort of solicitation, the College 
hopes to receive the financial and moral support of the 
entire community. Instead of being asked several times a 
year to donate funds to more than one program at the 
College, the community will be asked for financial support 
once a year during the Community Support Program. 

According to Dr. Jordan, the purpose of this two-week 
campaign is to raise $75,000 for the initiation of two new 
programs, and to supplement existing ones. 

The Student Assistance Program will provide scholar- 
ships, loans, and employment for worthy students who 
could not otherwise obtain the finances they need for a 
college education. This money will be matched by federal 
funds in the ratio of 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the program 
in which it is used. 



Last year, Savannah State College provided 302 students 
with 8141,207 in financial aid, $17,995 of which was con- 
tributed by the College. If the desired amount of money for 
student assistance is received, the College will be able to 
provide assistance to approximately 500 students during 
the next academic year. 

The Faculty Development Program will provide some 
financial assistance to aid more faculty members in acquir- 
ing the doctoral degree. In addition, this program will 
provide the funds for in-service faculty members to attend 
special institutes and certain financial supplements for 
critical area faculty members. 

The Enrichment in Study Skills Program will provide 
"seed money" to study problems encountered in the fresh- 
men program. With these funds, a study will be made of 
existing programs in other institutions and a program will 
be designed for the needs of Savannah State College.

National Science Foundation Awards Grant to SSC 



Savannah State College was awarded a grant of 338,910 
by the National Science Foundation for support of a "1969 
Summer Institute in Chemistry for Secondary School 
Teachers." This grant is under the direction of Dr. Willie 
G. Tucker, Department of Chemistry, and will terminate on 
September 30, 1969. 

The National Science Foundation was established in 
1950 as an agency of the Federal Government by an act of 
the Congress. Annual appropriations made by Congress 
enable the Foundation to carry out its responsibilities to 
strengthen research and education in science and mathe- 
matics. This project is one of more than 1,000 institutes 
and research participation projects supported annually by 
the Foundation for the purpose of improving the subject- 
matter competence of teachers of science and mathematics 
at all academic levels. 

The objectives of the institute are: to offer teachers with 
a very weak background in chemistry an opportunity to 
increase their knowledge of the subject matter; to help fill 
out a void in the teachers' background in subject matter 
so that they may be motivated enough to eventually begin 
an advanced degree program in chemistry rather than or in 
addition to graduate study in the traditional education 
courses; to increase the teacher's capacity to motivate 
students into science careers; and to create in the teacher 
a greater awareness of an appreciation for the work of 
prominent scientists. This will also serve as a means of 
stimulation and enthusiasm. 

Each participant will be selected on the basis of ability 
to show a particular need for the courses offered in order 
to fill a deficient background, and thus improve his quality 
of teaching. The deadline for making application is Feb- 
ruary 15. 

A participant must be presently teaching chemistry or 
general science at the time of application. Most consideration 
will be given to those applicants who have never participated 
in a National Science Foundation sponsored Summer Insti- 
tute. 

Dr. Willie G. Tucker, Professor of Chemistry, will direct 
the institute. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from 
Tuskegee Institute in 1956 and 1958, respectively. His 
research for the master's degree was concerned with a study 
of exchange reactions in the preparation of flourothiethers. 
Dr. Tucker received his Ph.D. from the University of 
Oklahoma in July 1962. His research was concerned with 
the preparation of 2-chloropyridine. Dr. Tucker served 
four years as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the 
Department of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma. 
He earned a certificate for completing the Radiological 
Monitoring Instructors Course offered by the University of 
Georgia Extension Division. He was main lecturer for an 
In-Service Institute for High School Teachers of Science 
1963-64, and for the NSF Summer Institute for High School 
Students, summer 1964. He is a member of the Society of 
Sigma \i. the American Chemical Society, and the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science, and is listed in 
American Men of Science. 

Dr. Charles Pratt, Professor of Chemistry and Head of 
the Department, will serve as an instructor for the institute. 
He received his B.S. from Langston University in 1951, 
and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of 
Oklahoma in 1958 and 1962, respectively. During the 
summer of 1965, Dr. Pratt was employed by the Savannah 



River Plant of Atomic Energy Commission as a Research 
Chemist. His teaching experience numbers five years in 
high school in science and mathematics, plus four years 
of college teaching. He attended a NSF Institute for High 
School Teachers at the University of Oklahoma in 1957, and 
served as Associate Director for an Institute for High 
Ability School Students at Prairie View A. & M. College 
in 1961. He also has publications in Science Education, 
Pharmaceuticals (Local Anethetics) and Flavonoid Com- 
pounds. 

J. B. Clemmons, Associate Professor of Mathematics and 
Chairman of the Department of Mathematics and Physics, 
will also serve as an instructor for the institute. He received 
his B.S. degree from Morehouse College; and his M.S. 
degree from Atlanta University. He studied three years at 
the University of Southern California. Mr. Clemmons has 
completed residence work for the Ph.D. degree in mathe- 
matics and his current research interests are concerned with 
the Theory of Probabilities. From 1941 through 1945, he 
served as high school principal, and joined the staff at 
Savannah State College in 1947. He has studied under the 
following fellowships: (1) Ford Foundation Faculty Fellow- 
ship 1952-53; (2) National Science Faculty Fellowship 1957- 
58; (3) University of Southern California Teaching Fellow- 
ship 1954-55. Mr. Clemmons taught regular mathematics 
courses at the University of Southern California as a Teach- 
ing Assistant, 1953-54. He served as official mathematics 
tutor for the University of Southern California's football 
team. He is a member of the State Advisory Committee on 
Mathematics and Evaluating Committee for Colleges in the 
State of Georgia. 



Savannah State College has received a grant totaling 
$2,000 to support a two week Journalism Workshop for 
high school teachers of journalism. This grant was approved 
by the Newspaper Fund of the Wall Street Journal. The 
workshop will be held at the college from July 21 to 
August 1. 

The purposes of the workshop are to create opportunities 
for professional and evaluative guidance; to aid the partici- 
pant in acquiring college training which will be of help in 
improving scholastic newspapers and curriculum offerings; 
to aid the participant in developing an increased awareness 
of and respect for the social aspects and dynamic influences 
of journalism in a democratic society; to create opportuni- 
ties for the participant to acquire practical experience in 
school newspaper and yearbook production; and to increase 
the major forms of scholastic news writing. 

Further the program promises to increase the partici- 
pant's knowledge of the principles basic to high school 
journalism; to develop an understanding of management 
and labor and its relationship to the economy; to develop 
the social skills basic to getting along with others; to develop 
an appreciation for the printed word and its influence on 
the reader; and to enhance the communicative skills. 

Any high school, vocational or junior college teacher in 
the South, whose duties include being an advisor to a 
scholastic newspaper, yearbook, or whose teaching program 
includes a course in journalism, is eligible for the workshop. 

The applicant's previous training and experience in 
scholastic journalism will not affect eligibility. The work- 
shop is designed to help teachers with scholastic publica- 
tions assignments acquire journalistic training and ex- 
perience. 

Each participant will receive five college credit hours for 
participating in the workshop. 




SCENES 

FROM 

THE 

ALUMNI 

WEEKEND 



Mrs. Robinson Receives Ph.D. Degree 

Mrs. Margaret Chisholm Robinson, Assistant Professor 
of Biology, received the Ph.D. degree from Washington 
University last month. 

A native of Savannah, Georgia, she received the B.S. 
degree from Savannah State College, and the M.S. degree 
from the University of Michigan. In addition, she attended 
a NSF Institute of College Teachers of Botany at Washing- 
ton University. 

Dr. Robinson's leaching experiences include: a teacher 
of biology at Jefferson County Training School, Louisville, 
Georgia from 1952-54; an instructor of biology at Fort 
Valley State College from 1955-58; and she began teaching 
at Savannah Stale College in 1958. 

She graduated magna cum laude from Savannah State 
College; is a charter member of Mu Chapter, Alpha Kappa 
Mu Honor Society; and a member of Sigma Mu Honor 
Society. 

In a recent interview with Dr. Robinson, it was learned 
that she has performed over 150 experiments within the 
past year in the area of botanical science. Some of the 
species and the microscope used were donated to Savannah 
State College by Washington University. 

When Savannah State College gave Dr. Robinson a 
year's leave to improve her knowledge of botany, it got 
more than it bargained for. Her academic work at Wash- 
ington University brought her 
$4,500 in scientific equipment 
in which she is held. 

The equipment includes a centrifuge, a spectrophoto- 
meter, microscopes, chromatographer apparatus, ultraviolet 
lamp, pH meter and time clock with switch. 

Dr. Robinson feels that, "Now we are going to be in the 
position to give students a well-rounded background and 
some knowledge of plant life as well as of animal life." 
She composes the entire botany department at Savannah

State Board Approves Revised School Standards 



The State Board of Education at its February meeting 
approved the withholding of funds from any school unit 
failing to fully satisfy certain criteria in the revised School 
Standards, and approved the construction of a two billion 
dollar vocational facility in Lowndes County. 

The revised school Standards will be divided into three 
sections. Section I is to contain all criteria based on require- 
ments of law, Section II, all criteria based on firm Board 
policy and Section III, all other criteria contained in the 
Standards as approved by the State Board. The Board 
approved the withholding of funds from school units failing 
to fully satisfy the criteria in Sections I and II until 
necessary corrections are made. 

The Board also made industrial arts a required part of 
the secondary school curriculum and placed it in Section III 
in the revised Standards. 

The authority for withholding state funds comes to the 
State Board under a Section of the Minimum Foundation 
Program of Education Act. This section states in part: 
"In the event a local unit of administration shall fail to 
comply with any provision of this Act or other school laws, 
or any provision of rules, regulations, policies, standards or 
requirements established by the State Board, or the terms 
of any contract with the State Board, the State Board may, 
in its discretion, withhold from such local unit all or any 



part of the State-contributed minimum foundation program 
funds allotted to such local unit under provisions of this 
Act until such time as full compliance is made by the local 

The two billion dollar vocational facility in Lowndes 
County will be sponsored by the Economic Development 
Administration, the Coastal Plains Regional Development 
Commission and the Lowndes County Board of Education. 
It will be used to provide an educational program for the 
economically deprived in a six county area  Lowndes, 
Berrien, Cook, Brooks, Lanier and Echols. 

According to George Mulling, State Director of Voca- 
tional Education, the new program will be designed specifi- 
cally to prepare unemployed, unemployable youth and adults 
and drop-outs for entry level jobs. 

This facility will also be used to serve out-of-school 
youth and adults for preparation for higher level job skills. 

In their meeting the State Board also passed a resolu- 
tion to the Georgia congressional delegation on Discrepancy 
between Congressional authorizations for Vocational Edu- 
cation for fiscal year 1970 and the Federal Budget Appro- 
priations for Vocational Education for fiscal year 1970. 
They pointed out that the proposed Federal Budget appro- 
priates less money for Vocational Education than was 
authorized by Congress for fiscal year 1970.

Free Job Placement Service Proves 
Beneficial to Employers and Students 

Six thousand leaders of business and industry are being 
invited to participate in 1969 TECHDAYS, Georgia's state- 
wide program for vocational-technical students, advises 
Jack P. Nix, State Superintendent of Schools. Because of 
its previous success, this year there will be two TECHDAYS 
projects at Georgia's area vocational-technical schools: one 
beginning April 16 and a second starting July 23. 

TECHDAYS is a project to bring together area voca- 
tional-technical students with potential employers. Before 
development of TECHDAYS, Georgia industry often had 
the problem of surplus job openings for which students 
had been trained, but many graduates were unaware of 
these available positions. TECHDAYS allows management 
to interview potential employees in the setting in which they 
are trained. 

TECHDAYS has doubled in effectiveness during the two 
years the project has been held, according to George W. 
Mulling. Director, Vocational Education Division. In 1967 
362 companies participated in the venture, compared to 643 
businesses during 1968. In 1967 954 jobs were offered; 
in 1968 1.978 openings were made available to the students. 
Last year the Georgia Chamber of Commerce lent its 
support to TECHDAYS with a statewide letter to employers 
and local co-operation with individual schools. This year it 
is lending the same kind of support. 

Students who were placed by this Department of Edu- 
cation service have praised past TECHDAYS for the 
following reasons: there was a wide variety of companies 
represented; students could talk to management about 
available jobs and their benefits; the potential employer 
could discover the type of instruction that was being offered 
and under what conditions; il was possible to experience 
a job interview in familiar classroom surroundings; and 
concern was displayed by management towards the indi- 
vidual student as an employee. 

One employer advised Director Mulling that he has 
retained five of the six TECHDAYS students he recruited 
a year ago, and that he felt the students proved to be well 
qualified when they finished the area school. 

Skills taught in area schools include a multitude of 
crafts from aviation mechanics and electronic technology 
to cosmetology and medical laboratory research. 

Georgia's area vocational-technical schools usually are 
designated by the name of the community in which they are 
established. The schools are located in Albany. Athens, 
Atlanta, Augusta. Columbus, Coosa Valley. DeKalb, Griffin- 
Spalding, Lanier, North Georgia (Clarkesville) , Macon 
Marietta-Cobb, Moultrie, Pickens County, Savannah, South 
Georgia (Americus), Swainsboro, Thomas, Troup County, 
Upson County, Valdosta, Walker County and Waycross- 
Ware. 



Presently, the construction oj a new student center and 
jood service building is underway at the college. 

The building will feature a dining room equipped to 
handle 1,200 students and will house all student activities. 

A bookstore, snack bar, lounges, game and meeting 
rooms and administrative offices will be included in the 
student center.

Hypertension 



Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the commonest 
of the diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels. Sta- 
tistics from the most recent national health survey indicate 
that hypertension afflicts at least 17 million American 
adults and perhaps as many as 22 million. 

Hypertension accelerates the development of the artery- 
clogging deposits of atherosclerosis. It substantially increases 
the risk of heart attacks and strokes. 

Almost all cases of hypertension, whether mild or very 
severe, can be controlled by any of a variety of effective 
drugs or combination of drugs for reducing elevated blood 
pressure. 

The death rate from hypertension has decreased by 
nearly 50'/< during the past decade. 

Currently the National Heart Institute of the National 
Institutes of Health is supporting more than 200 research 
projects totalling more than S7 million dealing directly or 
indirectly with improving methods of prevention, diagnosis 
and treatment of hypertension. 

These and other facts about hypertension are contained 
in a publication recently issued by the National Heart 
Institute. Entitled "Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)", 
NIH Publication No. 1714, this booklet describes how 
blood pressure is measured ; how it is controlled ; what 
hypertension is; the causes and diagnosis of hypertension; 
the drug treatment of hypertension and the effects of this 
treatment; and what research is being done to find the cure 
for hypertension. This 48-page, fully-illustrated publication 
also contains a glossary of terms. 

Copies of "Hypertension {High Blood Pressure)" (NIH 
Publication No. 1714) may be obtained, free of charge, by 
writing to the Heart Information Center, National Heart 
Institute, Bethesda, Maryland 20014. Quantity copies my

Technology Is The Key 

Technology is the key to achieving relevancy in the 
schools. This is the point of view in the current issue of 
Theory Into Practice on "Technology." 

Guest Editor Wayne K. Howell, vice president of the 
Fund for Media Research, stresses that technology in 
itself will not solve education's problems if everything else 
remains static. "Newer technologies cannot be effective 
additives to an old system; they must be tested in totally 
new educational designs," he said. 

In the issue the writers and editors explore the problems 
brought on when innovations such as the new technologies 
are haphazardly applied in an "add-on fashion to the old 
pedagogy of a rigid establishment."

Guidance Counselors Committee. This task force will con 
sider a program to describe to guidance counselors, par- 
ticularly in disadvantaged areas, the career opportunities 
in science. It will also make plans for a program geared 
to involve perhaps as many as 500 underprivileged students. 
Dr. Pratt received his B.S. degree from Langston Uni- 
versity, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University 
of Oklahoma. His teaching experience numbers five years 
in high school mathematics and science; plus four years

Award for his outstanding error-free preparation of pricing 
estimates in Cost Accounting; and was selected "Employee 
of the Month" for December 1968. In November of 1967, 
he received a Certificate of Award from the Boeing Atlantic

Tournament Win Puts Crown on Long Season 



Savannah State College, playing in its last season of 
SEAC competition, and perhaps one of the most frustrating, 
made it a happy ending by winning the tournament in 

The Tigers started off the long season by winning two 
straight games. Dissension then hit the club and a number 
of key players quit. The Tigers then fell into a losing 
streak of eight straight games even with Michael Jordon 
averaging in double figures, and so was Walter Fulton, who 
graduated in December. Fulton averaged in his last 10 
games 15.3 rebounds and 15.2 points. 

January 10th was the beginning of a new era for the 
Tigers, for on this date, 6' 7" center Vincent White return- 
ed. Although White made 21 and 22 points respectively 
against Paine and Fort Valley, the Tigers lost. After the 
players got adjusted to each other, the Tigers were winners 
from then on. With White in the lineup, senior guard Carl 
Crump's point production greatly improved and so did the 
teams' fast breaks. 

Crump, in the remaining games, did not make less than 
16 points in one game and against Voorhees, Benedict and 
Florida Memorial he made 40, 43 and 43 respectively in 
Tiger wins. 

The Tigers not only had big gunners in White and 
Crump, but also in easy-going 6' 7" forward Michael Jordon. 
Jordon's points were made so effortlessly and this is why 
he wasn't publicized much. The big guy, known as the 
'California Flash', ended the season with 99 points in the 



SEAC tournament to finish with a 23.9 clip. He led the 
team in total rebounds and was second in average with 16 
per contest. 

Savannah State also had great games from Johnny 
Abrahms, Jimmie Rutley, Ezra Gatewood, and Gerald 
Hendricks. Rutley, Hendricks and particularly Gatewood, 
were responsible for the Tigers winning the tournament. 
Gatewood averaged 11.1 points in the tournament games, 
while Rutley was directing the Tiger offense. 

Coach Richardson's team in winning the tournament, 
also dominated the awards that were presented. White, 
Crump and Jordon were named to the first string all-tourna- 
ment team; White and Crump were named to the all-con- 
ference first teams, with Jordon being named to the second 
team, and White was named the tournament's Most Valu- 
able Player. Although White made only 55 points as com- 
pared to Crump's and Jordon's 99 and 97, he averaged 22 
rebounds in those three games and raised havoc on defense. 
Coach Richardson was named Coach of the Year. 

The shoot-em-up Tigers averaged 106.6 points per 
game in the tournament and grabbed rebounds at an average 
of 65 per contest. 

The tournament win was of course the best way for 
Savannah State to end its long career in SEAC. The team 
will next season compete in the tough SIAC, against such 
teams as Tuskegee, South Carolina State, FAMU, and of 
course, Fort Valley. The opposition is great, but Coach 
Richardson and the returning and new players look forward 
to next season with much optimism. 



Support Your Alumni Program 



All of our alumni have every right to be proud of 
Savannah State College and the progress that is being made. 
This year the enrollment exceeded 2000 students for the 
first time in the history of the college. As the student 
population increases, your Alma Mater is also growing and 
improving in many other ways. Within the last three years 
eight new buildings have been dedicated. The beginning 
of the past football season witnessed the dedication of the 
new Football Stadium. A new student center-food service 
building is presently under construction and three other 
buildings are scheduled to be started prior to the end of this 
academic year. 

In addition, the college was recently accepted into the 
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and conse- 
quently will be expected to compete with stronger athletic 
opponents. In order for our Alma Mater to compete with 
such powerful opponents as Alabama State, Alabama A. & 
M., Florida A. & M., South Carolina State, Tuskegee Insti- 
tute and others in this conference, additional revenue must 
be obtained to build strong competitive teams. The college 
cannot provide these additional funds  the Alumni Associa- 
tion must accept this responsibility. 

In April of this academic year Savannah State College 
will launch its first annual Community Support Program. 
An organized campaign will be conducted to secure sub- 
stantial financial support from the total community. The 
funds secured from this campaign will be used to initiate 
certain badly needed new programs and to strengthen the 
total development of the College. 

As the chairman of the Alumni Campaign Committee, 
I urge your support of the alumni efforts in this very worth- 



while project. Alumni support will determine to a large 
degree the kind of support that we may expect and receive 
from others. I am personally making a substantial contri- 
bution and encourage those of you who can to do so also. 
Those who contribute $100 or more will become members 
of the Savannah State College National Alumni Century 
Club and will be honored at the Homecoming Banquet 
during the Alumni Homecoming Weekend at the Manger 
Hotel in the Fall. In addition, their pictures will appear in 
an assigned section on the wall in the Administration 
Building. 

Sincerely yours, 

Henry M. Collier, Jr., Chairman 
Alumni Campaign Committee 
Community Support Program '68-69. 



Duke University, with the aid of an $85,000 grant, has 
begun a scholarship program to bring underprivileged 
students into its law school. The grant will provide three- 
year, full-tuition scholarships for five students in each fresh- 
man class during the next three years. Funds are being 
sought to cover living expenses and other fees. 

Eventually, Duke hopes to expand the program so that 
at least 10 percent of each law class will be composed of 
underprivileged students, primarily Negroes. Grants will 
be made on a half-loan, half-scholarship basis, with one- 
third of the loan forgiven for each year the graduate prac- 
tices law in the South. The Duke law school opened its doors 
to Negroes in 1961, but has had only four Negro graduates.

Mentally Retarded Can Be Workers 



Georgia is proving that mentally retarded workers can 
become productive and valued employees when they are 
properly matched to their jobs. 

During the four-and-a-half fiscal years that the Federal 
Placement Program has been operated to help the mentally 
retarded, 222 placements have been made in 14 federal 
agencies in Georgia, according to John S. Prickett, Jr., 
assistant superintendent for rehabilitation services, Georgia 
Department of Education. Prickett's office administers the 
U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare funds 
for the mentally retarded workers project. 

This project was initiated in 1963 by President John F. 
Kennedy to provide job opportunities in government 
agencies for the mentally retarded. The program has 
demonstrated to non-government employers that retarded 
individuals can hold responsible positions in business and 
industry. 



A recent HEW survey reports that many of the place- 
ments have earned promotions to more difficult assign- 
ments after training. The survey rated Georgia eighth in 
the nation in terms of total number of placements in federal 
agencies. Among the jobs performed successfully were 
those of typist, messenger, laboratory technician, clerk and 
laundry worker. 

Prickett said that rehabilitation counselors in the pro- 
gram give clients a variety of services in preparation for 
job placement; they also counsel clients after they are em- 
ployed. Aid is given in such areas as housing, transporta- 
tion, medical and financial assistance and training in proper 
work habits and personal grooming. 

Interested federal agencies may contact coordinators in 
each of the eight vocational rehabilitation districts in 
Georgia. 



"The Negro in the 20th Century" is the title of a course 
being offered this spring for the first time at the University 
of Alabama. A continuation of an existing course "The 18th 
and 19th Century Negro," the new course deals with the 
relationship of the Negro to the industrial-urban environ- 
ment of the U. S. A visiting professor from Stillman College 
is teaching the course, which has about 100 students enrolled. 



Charles F. Kettering II, founder and president of CFK 
Ltd., Denver, Colorado, a philanthropic corporation en- 
gaged in educational development, was elevated to chairman 
of the board at a February 25 meeting of the organiza- 
tion's board of directors. Dr. Edward Brainard, who has 
served as executive vice president since the corporation was 
founded, was named president. 

CFK Ltd. was organized in 1967 with primary focus on 
the improvement of the learning environment at the ele- 
mentary and secondary school level. The corporation's cur- 



rent work in the area of human relations in the school has 
received extensive publicity nationally and internationally. 

With CFK Ltd.'s assistance, six school districts around 
the country are preparing detailed plans by which improved 
means of emphasizing effective human relations as a basic 
goal of these schools can be demonstrated. Seven educa- 
tional consultants produced model plans for the project. 

Another unique program is the development of an in- 
service approach to individualized continuing education for 
secondary school principals and their immediate supervisors. 
This project has been undertaken by eight school districts. 
It is aimed at the administrator's educational leadership 
rather than his managerial functions. 

Working out of Denver, CFK Ltd. differs significantly 
from other funding organizations in that it assumes the 
initiative and develops its programs by working directly 
with able educators in selected school districts throughout 
the United States.

THE PRESIDENT'S 
MESSAGE 



Dr. HOWARD JORDAN, JR., PRESIDENT 



The choice of a theme for this year's homecoming, "The Mystery of Black," seems significant 
in these times when black people are striving mightily to help our nation renew itself. We as a 
college community must stand before our countrymen and before the world as a bold and vivid 
contradiction to the belief that black people -and the institutions which serve them are inherently, 
intrinsically and generically inferior. We at this college without apology for our origin, without 
shame for our character and without equivocation about our purpose, shall try to help our nation 
take an honorable change of direction. Ours is no easy assignment but it must be done. 

In addition to the relevant choice of a theme, the homecoming celebration at Savannah State 
College is not all a matter of routine. Each year finds the college and the celebration different 
and interesting. The rapid growth of the college, the changes in the physical plant, and the admis- 
sion of more than six hundred freshmen serves as a basis for the uniqueness of this year. The 
college is delighted to welcome alumni, former students, and friends to see and enjoy the college as 
it exists in 1970. 

It is my sincere hope that all who participate in homecoming this year will find the occasion 
one to be cherished. We are especially happy to host our good friends from our sister institution at 
Fort Valley State College. We extend a warm welcome to all of them. 

Mrs. Jordan and I hope to have the opportunity of greeting each of you personally after the

YOUNG, GIFTED, AND BLACK, sets the tone for the Homecoming celebration. 
Today's young person has many advantages  in that, with the turn of events, the aware- 
ness of a proud, Black heritage, the young, gifted, and Black student is being afforded 
opportunities that were 'unheard of in the past. 

As in previous years, the Savannah State College family is proud to welcome 
alumni, and friends of the College, to the campus to share with us in this new "aware- 
ness." It is our hope that while you are here, you will accept our invitation to tour the 
campus and get a first-hand look at our new facilities which indicate the progress we 
have made toward promoting academic excellence in the "young, gifted, and Black" 
student. The entire College family has benefitted from the interest shown, and the ef- 
fective participation of the alumni in the development of a finer and more effective 
educational program here at Savannah State College. 

We sincerely hope that all who participate in Homecoming this year will find the 
occasion one to be cherished, and that the activities, including the football game, will be 
a credit to the College and to our guests from our sister institution, Albany State Col- 
RIGHT ON!

Savannah State College has one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. The campus encompasses 136 acres of 
unparalleled natural beauty. Attractive new buildings are constantly being built. Put into use recently was the Martin Luther 
King-Varnetta Frazier Complex, which serves as the student center and food service building. This building features a dining 
room equipped to handle 1,200 students and facilities to house all student activities. A bookstore, snack bar, lounges, ame 
and meeting rooms, and administrative offices are also included in this building. 

Other new attractive buildings include the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, constructed at an approximate cost of 
S700,000 and contains a Little Theatre, offices, classrooms, and laboratories for music, art, ceramics, and sculpture. New 
buildings opened this fall include eleven faculty homes, a dormitory for 200 female students, a natural science building 
and a warehouse and shop building. The dorm was built by the Walter Strong Company of Savannah at a cost of $925,- 
000. The $1.1 million science building includes a low-radiation nuclear laboratory, an additional 10 laboratories for bio- 
chemistry, chromatography, instrument and dark room, and other special laboratories for chemistry and physics. The ware- 
house and shop houses space for buildings and grounds and general campus upkeep. 

Savannah State College has requested from the Board of Regents the following facilities: a technical home economics 
building, a business administration building, and a nursery school for early childhood education. 

As a state institution, and at a time when the cry for equal opportunity is rapidly being met by the call of the tech- 
nological and business world lor better trained manpower, Savannah State College recognizes that it must accept the re- 
sponsibility of adequately preparing its graduates for these times.

ALBANY STATE COLLEGE 



To: Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni 

It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to send a message to our sister 
college, Savannah State, in commemoration of its Annual Homecoming Event. To the 
alumni who are returning to the institution to renew friendships and to enkindle new 
friendships, please be reminded of the very important task which lies ahead of you 
with respect to Savannah State as an institution within the University System of Georgia. 
Through the years your institution has contributed greatly to the education of young men 
and women of this state, a tradition which you should be very proud of. 

From the faculty, students, staff and alumni of Albany State College we extend to 
you best wishes and well wishes for your most cherished event  the Homecoming Festivi- 
ties. I trust that as our teams meet on the gridiron that each will conduct itself in a 
gentlemanlike fashion with the hope that when the final whistle is blown such will in- 
dicate that two institutions will have been well represented win, lose, or draw. 

Again, our best wishes to all of you at Savannah State College. 



Sincerely your 



*? 



Charles L. Hayes 



History of Albany State College 



Albany State College, founded in 1903, marks its G8th year as the 1971-72 academic year com- 
mences. The institution is a tax-supported liberal arts college, established and maintained by the state 
to serve the people of Georgia, and particularly the youth of Southwest Georgia. 

The school traces its evolution to the establishment of the Albany Biblical and Manual Training 
Institute. Dr. Joseph Winthrop Holley, the Lincoln University (Pa.) educator, came to Albany seek- 
ing aid and encouragement in the establishment of a school that would afford better advantages for 
Negro youth. With the financial help of the Hazard family of Peace Dale, Rhode Island and several 
of the leading white citizens of Albany, the Winnsboro, South Carolina native established the school 
that is now Albany State College. These persons, particularly the Hazard family, responded liberally 
to the needs of the school and, for many years, actively supported its growth. 

In 1917, the state of Georgia through an act of the Georgia Assembly, assumed responsibility 
for the operation of the school and its name was changed to the Georgia Normal and Agriculture Col- 
lege. The institution offered work on the junior college level in teacher education, agriculture and 
home economics. 

President Holley retired and became President-Emeritus in 1943, forty years after the school's 
founding, being succeeded by Aaron Brown as president. 

In the first year of Brown's administration the name of the school was changed to Albany 
State College and was upgraded to a four-year status, becoming a degree-granting institution in the 
fields of elementary education and ho 



In 1953, President Brown resigned to accept a position with the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and 
was succeeded by William H. Dennis, Jr., who had been closely associated with him as director of 
student teaching. Dennis succumbed in 1965 after eleven years at the helm and was succeeded by Dr. 
Thomas Miller Jenkins, a former dean of the Florida A. & M. University Law School. Jenkins resigned 
in 1969 to accept a post at Georgia State University, and was succeeded by Dr. Charles L. Hayes as 
the college's fifth president. 

The institution has grown steadily and has a projected enrollment of 2,175 students with more 
than 500 courses and about 95 faculty members. This growth is further reflected in a steady building 
program that included such recent construction as a student health center; faculty housing; the 
Dennis Student Union, Gibson Hall, the new women's residence hall, an addition to the Science 
Hall; and campus landscaping in several areas of the campus. 

In his short span as head of the institution, Dr. Hayes is responsible for what may be the largest 
project ever undertaken at the institution. Already constructed is a 90,000 project completing a 
badly needed perimeter road around the campus and parking spaces. A face lifting job has been 
done on the front of the campus featuring widened walkways, lights and shrubbery. One of two new 
dormitory complexes has been opened for occupancy while the other is still under construction. Also 
currently under construction on the front campus is a mall. 

The campus ground, which spans a little more than 100 acres, is located immediately to the 
east of the downtown area of the city of Albany. 

Albany State College reflects the community and the area in blending new and old, tradition and 
progress, while serving at the educational and cultural center of Southwest Georgia.

FROM THESE ROOTS 



From a meager beginning in 1890 of a faculty of 4, an 
enrollment of 8, and one building, Savannah State College 
has grown to a 5-year unit of the University System o 
Georgia with 97 full-time faculty members, 22 part-time 
faculty members, approximately 2500 undergraduate 
students, 98 graduate students and a physical plant con- 
sisting of 31 buildings. 

Savannah State College today, is a five-year accredited 
college of arts and sciences, teacher education, business ad- 
ministration, and technology. A graduate program in 
elementary education was initiated during the summer o 
1968. 

The College is located in the historic city of Savannah, the 
first capital of Georgia, and the second largest city in 
Georgia. 

Savannah State College offers courses leading to the 
master's degree in elementary education, and courses 
leading to the baccalaureate degree with a major in each of 
these areas of concentration: accounting, biology, chemistry, 
civil technology, dietetics and institutional management' 
economics, elementary education, electronics technology! 
English, general business administration, mathematics' 
mechanical technology, secondary education, secretarial 
science, social sciences, textiles and clothing, and criminal 
justice. 

Teacher education programs in the following fields have 
been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher 
Education and Certification: elementary education secon- 
dary education, with a concentration in business education 
English, French, general science, industrial arts education' 
mathematics, social studies, Spanish, trade and industrial 
education, grades 1-12; art education, health and physical 
education, music education and teacher-librarian

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 



A high school sludent who is preparing for a career in business via 
the i ollege roule should direct his efforts toward becoming proficient 
in mathematics and English at the high school level. Proficiency in 
mathematics allows him to make quick use of quantitalive tools in 
solving business problems Proficiency in English permits him to com- 
municate his ideas The ability to do both are significant attributes of 
business personnel 

Though not essential, since the college offers the necessary fun- 
damentals, a sludent may also take such courses as bookkeeping, 
shorthand, and other business sub|ecls which are offered at his respec- 
tive high school. Such an approach, at least, allows the student to make 
a tentative judgemenl as to whether or not he is favorably inclined 
toward specific subiecl areas. It should be pointed out unequivocally, 
however, that business training, on the college level, embraces much 
more than typewriting and shorthand.

Association of Colleges for Teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher 
preparation and a program of basic training for teacher-librarians. These programs 
are approved by the Slate Department of Education. This means satisfactory com- 
pletion of any program brings automatic certification in the field of study pursued. 

A person majoring in Education al Savannah Stale College is the concern of every 
division and department of the College; therefore, the resources and facilities--as 
well as the interest and efforts of the entire institution, are al his disposal 

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in general, specialized, and 
progressional education, the teaching major at Savannah State College has rich, 
varied, and meaningful laboratory experience which brings one into constant con- 
tact with children and youth 



COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION 

The Division comprises three departments: the Department of Elementary 
Education; the Department of Heallh, Physical Education and Recreation; and Ihe 
Department of Secondary Education. The preparation 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

MODERN LANGUAGES 



The Department of Modern Languages offers instruction in three languages: 
French, German, and Spanish. The primary aim of the members of the Depart- 
ment is lo leach Ihe student to understand, speak, read and write these 
languages so that he may communicate with others who speak them. This

instruction is carried on in daily recitations in the classroom and also in a 
modern twenty booth laboratory where the student can increase his 
proticiency by listening to and repeating exercises of various types especially 
prepared tor this purpose- For students who wish to develop more than an 
elementary proficiency in French or Spanish, the Department offers courses 
leading to a minor in either language. I! also offers courses leading lo Ihe 
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in French or 
Spanish. 

Outside of the field of education, a person with a major in foreign language 
can find employment in several areas. First, there is the area of organizations 
more or less internalional in character. Because of the nature of its work, (here 
is almost a constant demand at the United Nations Headquarters for men and 
women who are proficient in foreign languages. 




In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at Savannah Stale College 
offers a major program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music 
Education and two minor programs-one for prospective teachers in the

National Association, the National Association of Schools of Music and the 
Music Educators National Conference, as well as by the State Board ot Cer- 
tification and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. 

One of the most important operations in this department is the awarding 
each year of a number of scholarships, called grants-in-aid, which are given to 
capable, worthy applicants in all organizations upon recommendation of the 
department Depending upon the aptitude, academic standing and financial 
need recommendation of the student, these awards are sufficient at times to 
provide tuition for a full year. Grants are made, however, only to applicants 
who file the necessary forms, are recommended by the department, and are 
approved by the Committee on Scholarships. Recipients, encouraged to apply 
in the spring, are usually notified during the summer, well in advance of the
