BOARD OF FOUNDERS OF THE UNIVERSITY*

Oglethorpe University, planned to be the capstone of the Educational System of the Southern Presbyterian Church is owned and controlled by a Board of Founders, each of whom is a member in good and regular standing of a Presbyte- rian Church, and two-thirds of whom are ratified by the Session of the particular Southern Presbyterian Church to which the member belongs. This General Board of Founders meets once each year, at commencement time, on the univer- sity grounds in Atlanta, to inspect their institution, to review all matters of large importance in the life of the University and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by them, and from their number, and which will look after the details of management of the Institution between the meetings of the Board of Founders. Each member of the Board repre- sents a gift of one thousand dollars or more to the University.

Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the manage- ment of an institution. It is already in operation and its per- fect practicability is largely responsible for the marvelous suc- cess of the University.

Prospective students will not fail to note the quality of these Founders, representing the thousands of men and women whose sacrifices and prayers have consummated this fine pur- pose. As representatives and governors of the Institution they will take pleasure in giving any enquirers information as to the aims and progress of the University.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

The historical genesis of Oglethorpe University takes us back to the middle of the eighteenth century when under the leadership of Presbyterian men, Princeton College was founded in New Jersey and rapidly became the institution largely pat- ronized by the young men from Presbyterian families all over the nation. After a while the long distances which must be traveled by stage or on horseback, suggested the building of a similar institution under the auspices of Presbyterianism in the South. The movement began with the spring meeting of Hopewell Presbytery in the year 1823, and eventuated in the founding of a manual training school and this, in turn, became Oglethorpe College in 1835 when Midway Hill, in the suburbs of Milledgeville, the then capital of the State of Georgia, was chosen for the location of the Institution. Old Oglethorpe Col- lege was thus the first denominational college or university between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans south of the Vir- ginia line, and, of a right, claimed to be the Alma Mater of all that brilliant company of institutions which were born after her in this vast empire.

The facilities of the old Oglethorpe were adequate for the time. The main building was probably the handsomest college structure in the Southeast when it was erected and "contained the finest college chapel in the United States not excepting Yale, Harvard or Princeton."

In the faculty of the Institution may be found the names of men who are world-famous. Among these were Joseph Le Conte, the great geologist ; James Woodrow, the brilliant scien- tist and devoted Christian ; Samuel K. Talmadge, the eminent administrator and many others. It is, perhaps, the chief glory of the old Oglethorpe that after four years of instruction she graduated Sidney Lanier in the famous class of 1859 and that he was a tutor to her sons until the Spring of '61 when with the Oglethorpe cadets he marched away to the wars. Shortly be- fore his death, Lanier, looking back over his career, remarked

16 Oglethorpe University

to a friend that the greatest moral impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe through the influ- ence of Dr. Woodrow. Her other eminent alumni include gov- ernors, justices, moderators of the General Assembly, discov- erers, inventors and a host of honest, industrious and superb laborers for the highest ideals of humanity.

Oglethorpe "died at Gettysburg" for during the war her sons were soldiers, her endowment was in Confederate bonds and her buildings, used as barracks and hospital, were later burned. An effort was made to revive the Institution in the 70' s and to locate it in Atlanta, but the evils of reconstruction days and financial disaster made the adventure impossible and unsuc- cessful, and after a year and a half of struggle the doors were closed for the second time.

In the meantime, there had come with the separation of the Northern and Southern Church, a condition of affairs which left the Southern half with no capstone to its educational sys- tem. The best minds of the Southern Church have been con- stantly restless under this fact. A number of efforts were made to restore the Presbyterian Church to its leadership in the edu- cational affairs of the South, but each failed for its own par- ticular reason.

The really marvelous success which has attended the effort begun in the Spring of 1912 to found a great Southern Presby- terian University, has largely resulted from the determination of the men and women who form her constituency, that their denomination shall no longer be the only strong denomination in the South without a university for its student life. Their institution is named Oglethorpe, that the fine ideals and tra- ditions of those early years of struggle and achievement may be preserved and that whatever of failure and disappointment filled them may be retrieved.

Only four years have elapsed since the campaign was begun and they have been years of financial disaster and utter tur- moil, yet the assets and subscription pledges of Oglethorpe

Oglethorpe University 17

University are fast approaching the sum of a million dollars as the result of the most unusual and self-sacrificing liberality on the part of over five thousand people.

The corner stone of Oglethorpe University was laid on Jan- uary 21, 1915, with her trustful motto engraven upon it: "Manu Dei Eesurrexit (By the Hand of God She has Eisen from the Dead.)"

THE OPENING, SEPTEMBEB 20, 1916

So it comes to pass that Oglethorpe University, built by the Southern Presbyterian Church, with the aid of generous Atlan- tans of all faiths, opens its doors in the Fall of 1916. After fifty years of rest beneath the gray ashes of fratricidal strife she rises to breathe the later airs of a new day. Her first building, constructed of granite, trimmed with limestone, cov- ered with slate and as near fireproof as human skill can make it, is ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1916, when her first class gathers on her beautiful campus out Peachtree Eoad. A faculty equal to that of any cognate institution in the country is being formed. The work of raising funds goes steadily on. Ground has been cleared for the second building, which will be commenced as soon as the first is finished. And all of this has been done in the midst of financial disaster that darkened the spirit of the whole nation, and against the evil influences of a colossal war, which caused the very joints of the world to gape.

THE ROMANCE OF HER RESURRECTION

The story of the resurrection of Oglethorpe reads like a romance. Beginning only four years ago with a contribution of $100.00 a year for ten years, it soon gathered with it a band of great-hearted Atlanta men who determined to see that their city had a university as well as a band of far-seeing Presbyte- rian leaders, who wished to erect a capstone to their educational

18 Oglethorpe University

system in this splendid metropolis. The story of how dollar was added to dollar during a campaign of four years; of how no less than seventy Atlanta men gave each $1,000.00 or more to the enterprise ; of how the story has been told in church after church of the Presbyterian denomination all over the South from Galveston, Texas, to Charlottesville, Virginia and from Marshall, Missouri, to Bradentown, Florida; the splendid triumph of the Atlanta campaign staged in this city just two years ago; all this is well known. During the last year the same wonderful record has been maintained. There are now something like five thousand men, women and children, all of whom have contributed or promised from fifty cents to $35,- 000.00. They are the Founders of Oglethorpe University; they belong to the great Founders' Club which is carrying the move- ment forward so splendidly.

The immediate goal set for the present campaign is some- thing like $3,000,000.00. To this end the whole Southern Presbyterian Church is getting solidly back of the Institution with their money as well as their words of praise and prayer.

HER ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY

An idea of the quality of construction and design of the In- stitution may be gained from the accompanying illustrations. (See Frontispiece).

It will be seen that the architects and landscape artist have spared no pains to make it one of the really beautiful univer- sities of America. The architecture is Collegiate Gothic; the building material is a beautiful blue granite trimmed with limestone. All the buildings will be covered with heavy varie- gated slate. The interior construction is of steel, concrete, brick and hollow tile. The first building, which is nearing completion, is the one on the right of the entrance seen in the foreground of the bird's-eye view. The space has been cleared for the erection of the second building, which is the one with the tower on the left of the entrance. The total cost of con-

Oglethoepe University 19

struction of the buildings shown in the above design with the landscape work required, will be approximately $1,500,000.00. The building plan has been unanimously adopted and will be followed out in its entirety.

HER SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL IDEALS

But it is not so much the magnificent exterior of the Institu- tion about which the men who are back of Oglethorpe arc most concerned, it is the spiritual and intellectual life of their uni- versity. To that end they have resolved to form a faculty and adopt a curriculum that will be of the highest possible quality, their thought being excellence in every department. They will gather all of the fine ideals of past efforts to found a Southern Presbyterian University and endeavor to weave their spirit into the life of their institution. They will take the superb tradi- tions of the old Oglethorpe and add the best of this present age to them. Doubtless Oglethorpe will be a big universitv some day, but she is already a great one and it is greatness rather than bigness which her founders crave most for her.

FOUNDERS' BOOK

In the Founders' Eoom at Oglethorpe there will be a Book containing the names of every man, woman and child who aided in the founding of the University, arranged alphabeti- cally, by States. That Book will be accessible to every student and visitor who may want to know who it was from his or her home that took part in the doing of this, the greatest deed that has been attempted for our sons and daughters in this genera- tion. The Book is not yet complete, because the work is not yet finished and each month is adding many to this roll of honor, whose names will thus be preserved in the life and ar- chives of Oglethorpe University forever.

STATE MEMORIAL BUILDINGS AND PROFESSORSHIPS

The contributions made by the Founders of the University residing out of the city of Atlanta are being segregated and separately recorded. The Board of Directors has in mind the establishment of one or more memorial professorships or build- ings by each Southern State. Thus the local Synodical senti- ment and loyalty will be worked into the life of Oglethorpe and each of her students will feel that a part of its own com- monwealth is set down on her campus.

ROLL OF HONOR

The following list of churches have already taken part in the founding of Oglethorpe University and the work of adding the other churches of the denomination will continue steadily until every Presbyterian Church in the South has had a hand in the founding of Oglethorpe University :

THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The Board of Directors of Oglethorpe University realizing the responsibility upon them of selecting a faculty whose spir- itual and intellectual equipment should be capable of satisfy- ing the tremendous demand of a really great institution of learning, has spared no efforts or pains in securing a body of men who would not only possess that first requisite of a teacher, a great soul, but should also have those two other requisites of almost equal importance : power of imparting their ideals and knowledge and intellectual acquirements adequate for their de- partment. The most important element in education is the creation in the student of an intense yearning for and delight in the Good, the True and the Beautiful and the first essential for the creation of such a spirit is the example set before him by the faculty. We are able at this time to announce the names of some of the members of the staff, more than sufficient for careful and adequate work during the first year of instruction. The names are given in the order of their election :

IMMEDIATE PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of Oglethorpe University is to offer courses of study leading to the higher academic and professional degrees, under a Christian environment and thus to train young men who wish to become specialists in professional and business life and teachers in our High Schools and Colleges and to supply the growing demand for specially equipped men in every de- partment of human activity. The instruction begins in Sep- tember, 1916, with the Freshman Class of the Collegiate Department; the Sophomore Class will be added in 1917, and the Junior and Senior Classes in 1918, and 1919, respectively. Certain post-graduate courses also, leading to the Master's and Doctors degrees, will be offered in 1916.

Students who are looking forward to university work are invited to correspond with the President, in order that they may be putting themselves in line for the advanced courses which are to be offered.

Adequate Library and Laboratory facilities are being pro- vided as the need for them arises. Free use will be made of city of Atlanta, in itself a remarkable laboratory of industrial and scientific life, whose museums, libraries and municipal plants are at the disposal of our students for observation, in- spection and investigation.

The first unit of the building plan, ready for occupancy in the Fall, is the equivalent in capacity of four buildings, each 50 by 60 feet, three stories high. Of these, two are dormitories, one, lecture halls, laboratories and offices and the fourth, dining hall and refectory. There is also a central heating plant in addition.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

In the Schools of Arts, Science, Commerce, Literature and Journalism

The requirement for entrance to the Academic Schools of Oglethorpe University is fifteen units, from a school of good standing. Students offering twelve units may be admitted on condition. In either case the candidate must present three units in English and two in Mathematics. In the Schools of Arts, Science and Literature three units in Latin must also be offered.

A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a second- ary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work.

The authorities of Oglethorpe University are fully ac- quainted with the educational situation in the South and in making their entrance requirements somewhat above rather than below the standard, they have not lost sight of the fre- quent insufficiencies of preparation of prospective students brought about by inadequate High School facilities. It is the purpose of the University to make its degrees represent high attainment, but to furnish such facilities for students that this attainment will be fairly simple and easy. It is not our purpose by the adoption of specially high entrance requirements to drive away any students from our institution. Adequate ar- rangements will be made for aiding any student who may be behind in his preparation in so far as such aid is consistent with the best ideals of college work.

LIST OF ENTBANCE UNITS

The fifteen units may be selected from the following list :

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR

DEGREES

Beginning in the Fall of 1916 Oglethorpe University will offer courses in four schools leading to the customary Academic degrees. The degree of Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) will be con- ferred upon those students satisfactorily completing a four years' course as outlined below, based largely on the study of "the Humanities." The degree of Bachelor of Science (B. S.) will be conferred upon those students who satisfactorily com- plete a four years' course largely in scientific studies. The degree of Bachelor of Literature (B. Litt.) will be given to those students who complete a course including special work in languages, literature and journalism. The degree of Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com.) will be conferred upon those students who satisfactorily complete a full four years' course in studies relating particularly to business administration and industrial life.

By a careful study of the courses outlined below the student will be easily able to make a choice most suitable to his tastes and probable future life.

In general, it may be suggested that those students prepar- ing to enter such professions as the Ministry or Law, will choose the B. A. Course ; those looking forward to Medicine, Dentistry and other Scientific work, the B. S. Course; those expecting to enter the literary and journalistic field, the B. Litt. Course, and those who intend to spend their lives in the business world the B. Com. Course.

While each of these courses is so shaped as to influence the student towards a specific end, colored largely by the type of studies they include, yet each course will be found to include such subjects of general culture as are necessary to the educa- tion of a life as distinguished from a living.

In addition to the courses in the regular departments above indi- cated, the business life of the city of Atlanta will be used as a labora- tory for the instruction of our students in every phase of the modern business world. Prominent business men of the city will be used as lecturers in various phases of the commercial life of our country, in which they are expert. Actual inspection and work in some of the greatest business concerns of Atlanta will be given to those students in the higher classes who desire especially to acquaint themselves at first hand with the workings of great commercial enterprises.

The courses in the School of Commerce are designed and offered specially for those young men who expect to give their lives to business affairs and who desire to devote their entire time while in college to the study of those subjects which will be of the greatest practical use to them in their business careers.

Oglethorpe University thus takes a position of leadership in recognizing Business as a profession of equal dignity and depth with the so-called "learned" professions.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

It is the purpose of Oglethorpe University, beginning with the first year, to develop a thoroughly excellent Graduate School, offering courses in all departments leading to the Doctor's degree in Science and Philosophy. In supplying this need, which has for a long while been acutely felt in the South, the management of the University will be content with only the very highest grade of work and facilities.

Courses leading to the Master's and Doctor's degrees in certain departments will be found outlined elsewhere in this catalogue under the appropriate department heading. These degrees are based on that of Bachelor of Arts of Oglethorpe University or of some other approved institution. In general, it may be said that the degree of Master of Arts will be given for one year of additional study in graduate subjects more or less related to each other. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy

requires three years of graduate work. But neither degree is guaranteed at the end of a fixed period of time. A certain amount of work must be accomplished, and the quality of it must be such as to satisfy the Professors concerned and the whole Faculty. It is required that the candidate for Ph. D. demonstrate by examination not later than the end of his first year his ability to read German and French, and the stu- dent must have completed the undergraduate work in the subject to which he wishes to give his chief attention.

In this connection, the prospective student will be interested in learning that all professors chosen as the heads of depart- ments in Oglethorpe University must have obtained the high- est academic degree offered in that department. This fact is mentioned in order to indicate the earnest determination of the Board of Directors of the University that her faculty shall include only men of the highest intellectual attainment as well as men of great teaching power and strong personal character.

The President of the University will be pleased to answer any inquiries as to graduate courses to be offered during 1916- 1917.

PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS

The steady drift of the wisest opinion of the educational world looks toward the union of academic with professional education. The broadening effect of association of profes- sional students with other classmen on the university cam- pus, a,s well as the valuable opportunity for contact with aca- demic work, renders this connection highly desirable. It is the purpose of the University to enter the field of professional education as quickly as funds are secured to enable us to do so adequately. Schools of Engineering, Architecture, Dentistry, Law and Medicine will be established as opportunity offers, but no work will be undertaken that cannot be executed with the same quality of matter and form that is offered in the best institutions of our country.

SPECIAL COURSES

Students who are looking forward to Medicine, Law or En- gineering and who do not desire to study for an Academic de- gree are allowed to take such courses as will lead to their pro- fessional work. Such students must present at least twelve units for entrance; of these four and one-half are required: English (3) and Mathematics (1%)- The following courses are suggested:

Pre-Medical: First Year — Physics (1), Chemistry (1), Biology (1), English (1), Bible (1), German (1). Second Year — Physics (2), Chemistry (2), Biology (2), either Greek or French (1), Bible (2).

Pre-Legal: First Year — Economics, Chemistry (1), English (1), Bible (1), History (1) or (2), Latin (1). Second Year — Psychology, Bible (2), German (1), French (1), Spanish (1).

Pre-Engineering : First Year — Mathematics (1), Physics (1), Chemistry (1), English (1), Bible (1), German

(1).

Second Year — Mathematics (2), Physics (2), Chemis- try (2), French (1), Spanish (1).

PRE-PROFESSIONAL WORK

The attention of the prospective student should, however, be clearly called to the fact that each year finds it more neces- sary for the professional man to have a thorough foundation for his professional studies and the professional schools are becoming more strict in their requirements for entrance. Par- ticularly is this the case in Medicine, where the best medical colleges require a diploma from a standard college for en- trance. We would strongly advise our students to study the suggestions made on page thirty and have their college diploma safely in hand before they enter their professional studies.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1916-17

The policy of the Board of Directors of the University has been and will be to fasten slowly" in the work of organization of the institution. They have therefore decided to begin the first year's work with one class, the Freshman, although in or- der to meet the conditions arising from the unequal amounts of secondary preparation, courses in the Sophomore year will be offered to those students who are prepared for them. From the beginning such equipment as is necessary will be provided.

The courses outlined herewith, are stated, therefore, fully for the Freshman year and in abbreviated form for the years to follow except in those departments for which full professors have been chosen and in which the Institution is ready to offer graduate as well as under-graduate courses.

The courses offered for the year 1916-17 are as follows:

BIBLICAL AND RELIGIOUS LITERATURE

The course in English Bible extends over two years: it is required for B. A., B. S., B. Lit. and B. Com. degrees, and must be pursued by every under-graduate student.

The first year will be devoted to the Old Testament, the sec- ond to the New Testament, together with the intervening period. The study will include the mastery of the history con- tained in the Bible, an analysis of each book, and such other matters as are required for the proper understanding of the work. It will be treated not from a sectarian point of view, nor as mere history or literature. The aim will be to impart such a knowledge of the subject as every intelligent man should possess, enabling him to read his Bible with pleasure and profit.

The effort will be made to give the students the proper de- fense of seeming difficulties in the Bible, both for their own benefit, and that they may be able to meet the objections of un- believers.

40 Oglethorpe University

Text-Books. — The English Bible (with references) will be the chief text-book. Such other books as are needed will be indicated from time to time.

This course will be followed in the Junior and Senior years by Psychology, Moral Philosophy, Theism, Ethics, and Evi- dences of Christianity.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE

. The traditions of Oglethorpe University, who numbers among her alumni, Sidney Lanier, one of the "Nine immortal Muses of America/' render it a necessary as well as a delight- ful task for the Institution to give full emphasis to this de- partment.

The Freshman year will be concerned with a careful study of the best forms of English Literature, prose and poetry, with frequent exercises in the art of composition.

The first half of the year will be devoted to the study of the best prose forms and the latter half to typical and representa- tive verse. In this connection the life and works of Sidney Lanier will be especially studied as an example of an illustrious national writer, born and educated in the South.

In the Sophomore year courses will be offered covering a critical study of the earlier epochs of English Literature.

The Junior year will continue in historical sequence and the Senior year will be concerned largely with American writers of prose and poetry.

The courses will include frequent special lectures by visiting literati as well as by the Professor in charge.

GREEK

Three years of Greek will be offered in the under-graduate classes, together with a Preparatory Class for those who are unprepared for Greek (1).

W M

Oglethorpe University 41

Preparatory Greek. — This class is designed not merely for those who have no knowledge of the language, but also for those whose preparation is inadequate. The most im- portant subjects, both in inflection and syntax, are pre- sented early in the course, and then, by a system of weekly reviews, are kept constantly fresh.

Text-Books. — Benner and Smyth's Beginner's Greek Book, Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White).

1. — The preparation for entrance into this class is not so much a matter of time as of thoroughness. The stu- dent is expected to know the ordinary Attic inflections and syntax, to have read about one book of the Anabasis, and to have had considerable practice in translating English into Greek. The use of accents is required.

A part of the work of this class consists of the minute study of the verbs, their principal parts, synopsis of tenses, and the inflection of certain portions.

Written translations of English into Greek are required once a week. On the other days a short oral exercise of this kind forms a part of the lesson ; so that in each reci- tation some practice is had in translating English into Greek.

Text-Books. — Xenophon's Anabasis (Goodwin and White), Memorabilia, Adams' Lysias, Goodwin's Greek Grammar, Gleason's Greek Prose Composi- tion, Myers' Eastern Nations and Greece, Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon (unabridged).

2. — The authors read in this class are Demosthenes, Herodotus and Homer. The literature of the subject will also be studied, and some instruction will be given in Phonetics.

3. — The time of this class will be divided between prose and poetry. After the study of Plato and Thucy-

42 Oglethorpe University

dides, the reading of Sophocles or one of the other dra- matists will be taken up. The life of the ancient Greeks will also be considered.

Graduate Courses. — A brief statement of the work proposed may be given here. Fuller details will be announced later. Those who are thinking of taking the graduate courses are advised to write to the President or to the Professor, that their preliminary studies may be so guided as to fit them for the work. The requirements for entrance into these courses are given elsewhere in this catalogue, under the head of Graduate School.

The work of this department may be considered under three heads, each running through three years:

I. Literary. — The aim will be to read a large amount of Greek. The first year will be devoted to Homer, the sec- ond to the Age of Pericles, the third to the later literature.

II. Scientific. — Certain philological subjects will be stu- died, such as the History of Classical Philology, Textual Criticism, Inscriptions, Palaeography, Archaeology.

III. Practical. — The student will be required to attend one of the under-graduate classes, and from time to time will conduct the recitation in the presence of the Professor, in order that he may gain some experience in teaching.

COURSE IN NEW TESTAMENT GREEK

As the International Sunday School Lessons for 1916 and a part of 1917 are to be in the New Testament, a class will be formed for the study of these lessons in Greek. No very learned exegesis will be attempted; the aim will be simply to read the Greek and explain the forms and syntax. This course is intended not merely for those who can read Greek, but also for those who have never studied the language. There will be

Oglethorpe University 43

one meeting a week, at a time to be determined later. Some convenient place in Atlanta will probably be chosen for the meetings. The only book needed will be a copy of the New Testament in Greek ; the best is Westcott and Hort's New Tes- tament in Greek, Students' Edition, with vocabulary ($1.90). There will be no charge of any kind for this course.

LATIN"

1. — For entrance into this class the student is expected to have read the usual amounts of Caesar, Cicero and Ver- gil, as set forth under the head of Entrance Units. He must also be able to translate English into Latin with some facility. Livy, Cicero de Amicitia and Sallust's Jugurthine War will be studied in this year. A brief his- tory of Rome will atao be included. Prose composition, both oral and written, will be carried on throughout the year.

Text-Books.— Livy XXI, XXII (Greenough and Peck) Cicero de Amicitia, Sallust's Jugurthine War. Allen and Greenough's Latin Grammar, History of Rome, Harpers' Latin Dictionary. 2. — The studies of this class will be in Cicero's Let- ters, Horace and Plautus. A course in Latin Literature will also be given.

3. — This class will begin with Terence, and then take up Tacitus and Juvenal. Ancient Roman life will be con- sidered in this part of the course.

Teachers' Course. — A course of instruction will be given for teachers in and near Atlanta. The aim will be to suggest methods for beginners and for classes in Caesar, Cicero and Vergil. Certain departments of the grammar will be dis- cussed, e. g., the Subjunctive Mood; scanning will be illus- trated, and attention given to topics which have caused diffi- culty to teachers. Suggestions will be made as to the best

44 Oglethorpe University

means of helping pupils to acquire a good vocabulary in Latin. The mode of procedure and the subjects treated will depend somewhat on the personnel of the class.

The work will be undertaken if as many as ten persons offer themselves. A nominal charge of one dollar for the course will be made for each member of the class. This class will prob- ably meet on Saturday.

Graduate Course for Special Students. — Persons who are teaching or otherwise occupied during the week and who would like to do some graduate work in Latin or Greek by coming on Saturdays, should communicate with the Professor.

FRENCH

For the present a two years' course in French will be offered.

1. — This is a class for beginners, but the idea is to ad- vance as rapidly as possible to a reading knowledge of the language. Careful attention will be given from the first to pronunciation.

Text-Books. — Fraser and Squair's French Grammar; a French Keader, to be followed by some simple text.

2. — The aim of this class will be to read more rapidly both prose and poetry. French History and Literature will also be studied.

PHILOSOPHY, PEDAGOGY, ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY

46 Oglethorpe University

The Stacy-Capers Telescope. — By the generosity of Eev. T. Stacy Capers the University has received the gift of the excellent refraction telescope, formerly the property of Dr. James Stacy, his uncle, for so many years pastor of the Pres- byterian Church at Newnan and Stated Clerk of the Synod of Georgia. Dr. Stacy, in whose memory Mr. Capers gave the instrument, was an alumnus of the old Oglethorpe.

This course is open to Juniors and Seniors with a sufficient degree of maturity to become introduced to Seminary Methods of History Study.

Oglethorpe University 47

GERMAN" LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE

The purpose for the work in this department is to give a reasonably fluent ability in the speaking of German, this to be followed by more critical study of Grammar. Accordingly the first work will be largely conversational and translation will be avoided. By means of easy stories "Sprachgefuehl" will gradually be developed. It is expected that a student will be able to speak the language after two years of study.

1 and 2. Elementary German. The elements of German Grammar with reading and composition. During the Spring Semester one evening in the week will be devoted to the sing- ing of German songs, "Gesangabend." Walter Krause's Be- ginner's German. Storm's Immensee, Seidel's Leberecht Huen- chen, Zillern's Hoeher als die Kirche and other similar short itories.

Freshman Class, Fall and Spring Semesters.

3 and 4. Modern Authors. The texts chosen are mainly from the narrative prose of the nineteenth century by such authors as: Keller, Ebner-Eschenbach, Wildenbruch, Suder- man, C. F. Meyer, Heyse, Storm, Baumbach, Ernst, Saar, Riehl, Ludwig, Eichendorf, Chamisso.

SCIENCES

The purposes of the departments of Chemistry, Physics and Biology may be briefly stated as follows :

1. To offer thorough lecture and laboratory courses of in- formational and disciplinary value as part of a general college curriculum. No apology is necessary for the belief that he only can claim to be truly educated who has learned in some measure to observe accurately, to reason logically from his ob- servations, and to co-ordinate hand and brain in all that he may do.

2. To offer progressive and sequential courses designed to give a high degree of knowledge and technical proficiency to the Scientific Student specializing in one or more of these sciences.

3. To offer such courses in these sciences as are commonly required for entrance into our best schools of medicine, den- tistry, pharmacy, and engineering.

4. To offer courses designed to meet the needs of Prospec- tive Teachers of these sciences in colleges and secondary schools, giving them not only a thorough training in the content of the subjects, but also in the best methods of imparting it to others.

5. To offer to properly prepared Graduate Students ad- vanced courses and opportunities for research in one or more of these sciences, leading to advanced Academic degrees.

CHEMISTRY

1. (a). General Chemistry.

(&). Experimental Chemistry and Qualitative Analy- sis. Lectures, demonstrations and recitations, together with se-

Oglethorpe University 53

lected exercises in the laboratory, designed not only to impart a knowledge of the principles of the science, and of the metal- lic and non-metallic elements, but to constitute an introduc- tion to scientific methods of experimentation, observation and reasoning.

During the first half of the year the lectures precede the work of the laboratory, in which the student is expected to verify and illustrate many of the principles and facts which have been discussed in the lecture room.

During the latter half of the year, while the lectures are on the chemistry of the metals, the laboratory work will be sys- tematic qualitative analysis.

No previous study of chemistry is required for admission to this course, but the instruction is so arranged that work of a somewhat advanced character is given to those students who have spent considerable time upon chemical work in secondary schools.

This course fulfills the chemistry requirements for admis- sion into medical colleges.

Three lectures and recitations, and four hours of laboratory work per week through the year. Eequired of Sophomores.

2. (a). Organic Chemistry. (&). Quantitative Analysis, (c). Practical Organic Chemistry.

The lectures, demonstrations, and recitations in organic chemistry continue through the year. In the laboratory exer- cises, which have been carefully chosen to illustrate the prin- ciples of volumetric and gravimetric analysis are given during the first half of the year. The remainder of the time is occu- pied with the preparation of typical organic compounds and their analysis and identification.

Three lectures and recitations, and four hours of laboratory work per week throughout the year. Elective.

54 Oglethorpe University

3. (a). Theoretical and Physical Chemistry. (6). Physical Chemical Measurements, (c). Advanced Quantitative Analysis.

A study of the laws of chemical combination ; the properties of gases, liquids, solids; solutions; thermo-chemistry ; electro- chemistry; chemical dynamics and statics.

The laboratory time will be divided between exercises in physical chemical measurements, as for example, vapor den- sities, molecular weights, degree of ionization, electrical con- ductivities, transport numbers, reaction velocities, etc., and exercises in quantitative analysis of a more technical and ad- vanced character than those given in 2-b.

Two hours lecture, six hours laboratory practice per week through the year. Elective.

Graduate Work. — No student will be accepted for grad- uate work who cannot satisfy the department as to his prepa- ration in inorganic, organic and elementary physical chemis- try, and qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is not thought advisable to outline at present detailed courses for graduate students. Work will be offered as needed in advanced organic, inorganic, physical and historical chemistry, and in the lab- oratory in special methods of analysis, as food and drug analy- sis, water analysis, gas analysis, electro analysis, and metallur- gical analysis.

When the student is deemed prepared, he will be given a problem for investigation, usually co-operating with the in- structor in his own researches. Prospective graduate students should correspond with the department as early as possible, giving a full account of their previous preparation and of the character of work they wish to pursue.

Equipment. — The facilities for demonstration in the lec- ture room and for work in the laboratory are quite adequate for present needs, and will be added to continually. The lab- oratory is equipped with all necessary working desks, hoods,

Oglethorpe University 55

hot plates, drying ovens, and water stills, and gas, water, elec- tric current, blast and vacuum are conveniently at hand.

The library contains standard books of reference and some technical journals, and in addition, the facilities of the Atlanta libraries are at the disposal of the pupils.

PHYSICS

1. General Physics. — Lectures, demonstrations, recita- tions, and laboratory exercises on the mechanics of solids and fluids, molecular mechanics, the phenomena and laws of sound, heat, light, electricity and magnetism.

The laboratory work is almost exclusively quantitative, de- signed to impart training in the manipulation of instruments employed in physical investigation, and to give practice in properly recording, interpreting, and reducing experimental data.

This course fulfills the requirements of the pre-medical year.

Three lectures and recitations, four hours of laboratory work per week through the year. Eequired of Freshmen.

2. Theoretical Physics: Mechanics, Heat, Light — Es- sentially the same ground is covered as in this part of Course 1, but the subject is presented in a more detailed way both exper- imentally and mathematically.

The laboratory work is of a more rigidly accurate character and particular attention is directed to the recognition, elimina- tion and estimation of errors.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours of laboratory work per week through the year. Elective.

3. Theoretical Physics : Electricity and Magnetism. — See description of Course 2.

Two hours of lecture and recitations, six hours of laboratory work per week through the year. Elective.

Graduate Work. — The statements made above in regard to graduate work in chemistry apply in the main to physics. Spe-

56 Oglethorpe University

cial work of an advanced character will be given to those who may be prepared in physics and in mathematics according to their need or desires and the facilities of the Institution.

Equipment. — It will be the aim to continually provide the pupil with apparatus of the highest grade and to enlarge the equipment as may be necessary.

BIOLOGY

1. General Biology. — The purpose of the course is to ac- quaint the general student with the principles of biology through selected practical studies of living things. A survey is made of the morphology and physiology, classification and life history of selected types, designed to give the student who goes no further with the subject a comprehensive view of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, while for the student who will continue biological study, it is intended to afford a sub- stantial basis for more extensive and intensive special work.

The laboratory work is of especial significance. Much em- phasis is placed on the accuracy with which the student's note book depicts what he has seen through his microscope.

This course fulfills the requirements of the pre-medical year.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours laboratory work per week through the year. Eequired of Sophomores in Science.

2. Human Anatomy and Physiology. — While necessa- rily this course is not as exhaustive as when given in the best schools of medicine, it supplies a splendid foundation for the latter. The origin and development of the various structures of the human body, and their functions, are in all cases pre- sented in relation to those of lower forms of animal life.

The laboratory work of the course is mostly mammalian anatomy, based upon a study of the cat, but dissections are made of other animals as well.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours laboratory work per week through the year. Elective.

3. Bacteriology. — A study of bacterial life and develop- ment. Non-pathologic bacteria are mostly studied.

The laboratory work is designed to impart the important points of bacteriological technique, as cleansing and steriliza- tion of apparatus, preparation of culture media, methods of culture and staining.

Two lectures and recitations, six hours laboratory work per week through the year.

Graduate Work. — No announcement of graduate work will be made at present.

Equipment. — The equipment of the laboratory consists of the usual dissecting tables, microscopes, microtomes, ovens and sterilizers, etc., and collections of slides and other illustrative material.

THE OGLETHORPE IDEA

Quality is the word that expresses the Oglethorpe idea — quality in location, in climate, in campus, in architecture, in student character, in college life, in athletics and sports, in faculty, in curriculum, and in religion and morals. Every one of these we offer at Oglethorpe.

Located in the commercial and educational capitol of the South, with an unrivaled climate, on the most elegant street of that city, on a most beautiful campus of over one hundred and thirty acres of woodland and meadow, including an eighty- two acre lake which belongs to our students for swimming, boating and fishing, the physical advantages offered by Ogle- thorpe University are unsurpassed anywhere in the section.

One by one a splendid body of buildings is being erected on its campus. Every one of them will be of granite trimmed with limestone and covered with heavy green slate. All of them will be as fire-proof as human skill can make them and as «ommodious and comfortable as our archietcts* can plan

them. They will be like the first building already erected, which is believed to be the safest, most beautiful and most effi- cient college or university building in the Southeast.

THE OGLETHORPE SITE— ATLANTA

The attractions of the City of Atlanta as an educational center are fast making it one of the great intellectual dynamos of the nation. Gifted with a soft, Southern mountain climate, convenient of access to the entire nation over its many lines of railway, known everywhere as the center of Southern activi- ties, she draws to herself as to a magnet the great minds of the nation and the world. Hither come lecturers, musicians, statesmen, evangelists, editors, teachers and officials of the United States. An intellectual atmosphere created by such conditions and the frequent opportunity of contact with these leaders in all branches of human activity offered frequently to our students give Oglethorpe University an advantage of posi- tion and opportunity which she will cultivate to the uttermost. Facilities for hearing and meeting the great musicians and au- thors and public speakers and the leaders in all spheres of in- tellectual activity will be offered our students. The tremendous influence of such contact upon the young lives committed to us will be felt in increased ambition and redoubled determination to perform, themselves, their duty to their race and their God.

THE SILENT FACULTY AT OGLETHORPE

It is not going too far to say that the aesthetic tastes and home habits of many young men are ruined at college by the cheap and unattractive furnishings of their rooms and the ugly, forbidding architecture of the buildings, whose walls often de- face their campus. The architecture of an institution of learn- ing should be a constant source of delight and inspiration to its students, teaching quietly, but surely the highest ideals of life. Indeed all those great qualities of soul we know as hon- esty, solidity, dignity, durability, reverence and beauty may be

Oglethorpe University 59

expressed in the face of a building as surely as in that of a man and are so expressed on the Oglethorpe campus.

Not less important are the personal surroundings of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped apartments have exactly the same influence on the soul of a boy that cheap, ugly and ill-equipped human companions have. That is why the rooms at Oglethorpe are handsomely furnished. The sons of the poor are entitled to the information and inspiration such surroundings offer and the sons of the rich will deteriorate without them.

In brief the college education that does not teach a love of beauty and tidiness and what is popularly called "decency," is essentially and dangerously defective.

This is the special work of the Silent Faculty at Oglethorpe.

THE EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF OUR FIRST YEAR

Young men who desire to enjoy the daily personal contact and instruction of the heads of departments will note with in- terest that our first few years will offer exceptional opportuni- ties of that nature. It is well known that in all our large in- stitutions only the upper classmen come in any close contact with the full professors, who as heads of departments occupy their time in other matters than educating Freshmen.

We believe in giving our Freshmen the best we have and they will be taught by men who have taught in or had offered them, chairs in the greatest universities of America.

While this will be a permanent policy at Oglethorpe, yet the fact that we shall open in the Fall of 1916 with only one class, the Freshman, offers a perfect opportunity for its exemplifica- tion, which discerning students and parents will not fail to note.

UNIVERSITY EXPENSES BOARD AND BOOM BENT

The dormitory facilities of Oglethorpe University are the safest and most comfortable of any cognate institution in the South. All the buildings of the university will be like the first one now being finished, which is believed to be absolutely fire- proof, being constructed of steel, concrete and granite with par- titions of brick and hollow tile.

The boarding department of the Institution is conducted at cost to the student. Thoroughly first-class service will be given. The skimmed milk diet which produces skimmed milk thinking will be studiously avoided. Price of board is included in the room rent.

The prices named below are based upon two grades of rooms. The first of these comprises the entire second floor of the first building, which is fifty (50) feet wide and one hundred and eighty (180) feet long, and is composed of suites of rooms, each suite including a bed room, bath and study. The price charged for the suite includes first-class board, steam heat, electric lights, water and janitor's service and all rooms are furnished adequately and substantially. Every room in the dormitory contains ample closet space. The suites are large, airy, safe and comfortable and are roomy enough for the use of from one to four young men. The prices are as follows :

2nd floor rooms, two to room and bath, per year, each, $190.00

2nd floor rooms, one to room and bath, per year 240.00

2nd floor rooms, one to suite of two rooms and bath, 340.00

The prices named include all the items above specified and cover the school term of nine months.

The third floor of the building, possessing the same general advantages, is divided into individual rooms, with general toilet

STUDENT HELP

It is the intention of the authorities of the University to see that a way is provided as far as possible for the assistance of any student who may be in pecuniary need and yet desirous of prosecuting his studies at Oglethorpe. A special Faculty Com- mittee will co-operate with students to that end.

Eealizing its deep indebtedness to the church for its own growth and desiring to further her every interest, the authori- ties of the University will remit tuition fees of sons of minis- ters and candidates for the ministry under the care of Pres- bytery.

For further information address the President, Atlanta, Ga.

ATHLETICS— SILVER LAKE

The policy of Oglethorpe University includes the develop- ment of the physical life of our students as a matter of large importance. Physical and hygienic welfare and instruction will be a part of the curriculum of the Institution. A mod- ern gymnasium, adequately equipped is included in plans for one of the next buildings to be constructed. Temporary athletic rooms are in the Administration Building. Adequate provision is being made for foot-ball and base-ball grounds, tennis courts, etc.

In addition to these sports common to all well equipped colleges in the South, Oglethorpe University is the fortunate possessor of a beautiful lake covering eighty acres located con- veniently to the university campus, with a part of its shore set aside for a university boat house. This will enable the Institution to add a crew to its list of athletic sports. The lake is admirably suited for boating, rowing, swimming and fishing.

A sanely encouraging attitude is taken by the University toward inter-collegiate athletics and Oglethorpe University will acquit herself well in that sphere of her educational life.

Eegular instruction, looking to symmetrical development of the entire man will be given in the athletic department of the University, under competent medical guidance.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE

The ability of a college or university to develop worthy char- acter in its students depends largely upon that indefinable quality called "college atmosphere." As a mother, she breathes her own soul into her boys. They inherit all that she has been through; all of labor and strength and faith and prayer. If her judgments have been bought out with money they inherit that; if with blood they inherit that. Every storm through which she has passed strengthens them for their own conflicts in the days that are to come.

66 Oglethoepe University

Oglethorpe is a daughter of battle and faith and prayer. God alone built her, touching the hearts of multitudes of His children at the voice of her call. Alone of all the prominent ante-bellum universities she died for her ideals and alone of all the universities of America God has raised her from the dead.

By her every battle, her every faith, her every triumph, she has learned what things are really worth while and what hand really to lean upon. She will tell her children of Him.

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS

Examinations will be held two or three times a year, and reports of the students' standing will be issued every four or five weeks.

FORM OF BEQUEST

The proper form for use in making a bequest to Oglethorpe University is as follows :

"I hereby give and bequeath to Oglethorpe University,

a corporation of Fulton County, Georgia, $
