COSTUMES THROUGH THE AGES . HOMECOMING EDI' The Savannah State College Bulletin President Dr. William K. Payne Editor-in-Chief Wilton C. Scott Issue Editor and Artist Phillip J. Hampton Copy Writer Luetta Colvin Photographer Robert Modley 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.

Georgia Former Savannah State College Student Aids in the Establishment Of Poliee Department Juvenile Division in Savannah William Wallace, a native of Savannah, Georgia, Corporal of Police with the Savannah Police Department, and a former student of Savannah Stale College, was selected in 1962, from numerous applicants to receive a scholarship to study at the University of Minne- sota. The purpose of the scholar- ship was to enable him to study juvenile delinquency in order to aid in the establishment of a Juvenile Division in the Savannah Police Department. This Division will go into effect on May 1. 1963 under the super- vision of Police Captain L. E. Ma- hony, and will operate in conjunc- tion with the Juvenile Court and the Welfare Department. Mr. Wallace has been employed with the Police Department since September of 1948. He began as a patrolman.

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. Prince A.

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- Tht nd high school students who hav accepted are: Glorious J rwood, Route 1, Tayli Willie Frank Gerald, 1904-B Brown Street, Conway, South Carolina; Sherrie Ruth Griffin, 210iy> Ogeechee Road, Savannah, Georgia; Wallace Lee Hall, Route 2, Box 2, Collins, Georgia; Leroy Wright, Jr., 5 Fluke Avenue, Sa- vannah, Georgia; Nedra Millicent Hug- gins, 1526 Audubon Drive, Savannah, Georgia; Stanley John McClinton, 2 Staley Avenue, Savannah, Georgia ; Jenefer Clark.

An Open Invitation To Prospective Students . . . It is indeed a very great pleasure for me to extend, on behalf of the Administration, faculty, and student body, a cordial invitation to all prospective college students to become familiar with the well rounded edu- cational program offered at Savannah State College, and to invite each of you to consider seriously selecting Savannah State College as your college. Since its inception on November 26, 1890, Savannah State College has been primarily concerned with develop- ing a strong program of education and training for our students. We feel that Savannah State College today is a challenging place to spend four of the most important years of your life. It is challenging because it has an excellent faculty, a growing student body, and excellent facilities for study, residence, and relaxation. part of students designed to give an individual a sense of meaning and direction in the democratic way of life.

It is < will provide you about the college hope that this information bulletin h many answers to your questions Sincerely, ^'-i Howard Jordan, Jr President The campus at Savannah State College is one of great natural beauty, and each year strong efforts are made to improve the natural beauty by adding functional facilities. Undergirding all of our training programs is our pro- gram of general education. This program is intended to develop attitudes, competencies, and values on the 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. Buildings SHOWN ON COVER W. K. Payne Hall John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center Peacock Hall, New Dormitory for Men Wiley-YVillcox Physical Education Comple Lockette Hall 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.

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 spring, are usually notified during the summer, well in advance of the opening of the Fall Quarter. The present facilities provide space for classes, or- ganizational rehearsals, practice periods, listening room, and offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and band instruments are provided, both without charge. Complete uniforms, robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished to members of the various organizations.

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 Social Sciences Elmer J. Dean, Ed.D., Chairman The Division of Social Sciences offers two major programs for persons interested in the social sciences. Curriculum I leads to the B.S. degree in the social sciences with a concentration in history. Curriculum II leads to the B.S. degree in the social sciences with a concentration in sociology leading to the professional study of social work. Persons who plan to teach social studies in the secondary school should enroll in the Teach Educational Program and pursue the B.S. degree in Education with a concentration in the social sciences. Curriculum I is designed for persons interested in careers in: law, government, diplomatic service, general research, Young Men's Christian Associa- tion, and Urban League Work. Curriculum II is designed for persons inter- ested in careers as social workers, probation of- ficers, vocational counselors, camp counselors, em- ployment interviewers, juvenile court workers, wel- fare fund workers, and immigration service workers. Peace Corps Representatives at SSC 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. A Class in Driver Education Division of Home Study E. K.

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 System of Georgia, 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 last summer. Founded in 1890, Savannah State 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: ac- counting, biology, chemistry, civil technology, die- tetics and institution management, economics, ele- mentary education, electronics technology, English, general business administration, mathematics, me- chanical technology, secondary education, secretarial science, social sciences, and textiles and clothing. Teacher education programs in the following fields have been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher Education and Certification: elementary education, secondary 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 edu- cation, music education, and teacher-librarian. Two-year programs of study are offered in Secre- tarial Science, and Dressmaking and Tailoring. Upon satisfactory completion of these programs, the student is given a certificate of proficiency. Savannah State College has one of the most beau- tiful campuses in the South. The campus comprises 136 acres of matchless natural beauty. Attractive new buildings are constantly being built. Put into use recently was the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, A. E. Peacock Hall, and a new athletic stadium. The John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, con- structed at an approximate cost of $500,000, contains a Little Theatre, offices, classrooms, and laboratories for music, art, ceramics, and sculpture. A. E. Peacock Hall, a dormitory for 180 male students, is a modern three-story building which con- tains 90 bedrooms of the studio type; a lobby, recreational areas, an apartment for the house direc- tor; barber shop, room for TV viewing, and a laundro- mat. This dormitory is completely air-conditioned, and was constructed at an approximate cost of $600,000. Presently, a new student center and food service building is being constructed. This building will feature a dining room equipped to handle 1,200 students and will house all student activities. A book- store, snack bar, lounges, game and meeting rooms, and administrative offices will also be included in this building. Savannah State College has requested from the Board of Regents the following facilities: a Natural Sciences Building, a Technical Home Economics Building, and a Nursery School for early childhood education. The science building, and a dormitory for 200 students have been approved. For further information write: The Registrar, Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia 31404. 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.

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. 500 Courses Education Directing and Evaluating Student Teaching.

For further information write: Director of Graduate Studies Savannah State College Savannah, Georgia 31404 i from the Alumni Weekend Members of Beta Kappa Chi CAMPUS TOUR Janie L. Lester Ha The Curriculum The formal instructional program of Savannah State College comprises the general curriculum, areas of major and minor concentration, and terminal curricula. The program is organized within the fol- lowing divisions and departments: 1. The Division of Business Administration 2. The Division of Education Department of Elementary Education Department of Secondary Education Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation 3. The Division of Humanities Department of English Department of Fine Arts Department of Modern Languages 4. The Division of Natural Sciences Department of Biology Department of Chemistry Department of Mathematics and Physics 5. The Division of Social Sciences 6. The Division of Technical Sciences Department of Engineering Technology Department of Home Economics 7. The Division of Home Study 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. 11 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. 12 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. 13 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. 18 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 Sy$?

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.

The college has received 100 shares of stock from the Donner Packing Company for the purpose of setting up the Paul Donner Scholarship Fund, the proceeds from which will be used for the Scholarship Program. 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. it ' W\\ *. Iflral Wm- DR.

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.

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 College, but states that, "I'm looking forward to attracting more faculty now that we have this new equip- ment. 1 know that one of the things I would ask if I were invited to join a college faculty is, "Could I do research?" Now we can say "yes" because we will have the facilities for it. mlfall of gifts valued at well as the high esteem Home Economics Career Day Is Held The Annual Home Economics Career Day was held on Friday. March 7 at the college. According to Mrs. Evanel R.

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. DANIEL WASHINGTON, President of the SSC National Alumni Association, addresses the Alumni during the Alumni Weekend Activities at the Manger Hotel. DR. PRINCE A. JACKSON, JR., dresses the Alumni during the Alumi the Manger Hotel. Alumni Secretary, ad- i Weekend Activities at 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.

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." al goal for the issue >ns of both educators e of the newer device "This attempt such de. was to examine the nd businessmen con- i, tools, and systems s abandoned," Howell obscured on all levels The origin rational decisi cerning the ui of instruction said, "because by fragmentation, intuit: general frustration."

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. Student Teaching Assignments Mrs. Dorothy C. Hamilton.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

WE INVITE YOU TO IOIN THE SSC FAMILY AND SPEND FOUR OF THE MOST PROFITABLE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. Prince A. lackson, |r. President 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 . (hat each sludent should be trealed as an individual, recognizing lhat the educational development of individuals varies widely. This means that each student should be guided, encouraged, and educated individually At SSC the only limitations which exist for students are those which are imposed by his own ability. lhat each student should be instilled with a never-satisfied sense of curiosity which will lead him down established paths of knowledge and into the avenues of the unknown and unexplored. ..thai the liberally educated person must be able to communicate his wledge tc writing. thoughts and ideas, both verbally and that intellectual snobbery has no place in educated man realizes that the more he learm learned. ur society. The liberally the more Ihere is to be that a student's mind is sharpened and seasoned through com- petition, stimulated by contact with scholars, and challenged by association with other academically-oriented young people. 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.

I f;; aii i i The Division of Education al Savannah Stale 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 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.

This UMANITIES 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 secondary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the curricula have been approved by the three national accrediling 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 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 opening of the Fall Quarter. The present facilities provide space for classes, organizational rehearsals, practice periods, listening room, and offices Pianos are provided for practice, and band instruments are provided, both without charge Complete uniforms, robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished lo members of Ihe various For any additional information concerning the Department, please feel free to address your inquiries to Dr Coleridge A.
