General Information
History
Southern Missionary College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution,
•was founded in 1893 as Southern Training School, at Graysville, Tennes-
see. Twenty-three years later the school was moved to Collegedale, Ten-
nessee; and there, in 1916, it was reopened as Southern Junior College.
The exigencies of a rapidly expanding student body necessitated the trans-
fer, in the spring of 1944, to senior college status, and the first
few-year seniors were graduated from Southern Missionary College in
1946.
Southern Missionary College is incorporated under the laws of the
State of Tennessee, the Board of Trustees assuming entire responsibility
for the financial support and management of the institution.
Objectives and Scope
Southern Missionary College offers facilities for a liberal education
in literature, science, and the arts; for special training in diversified fields;
id for preprofessional courses for those planning to enter schools of
medicine, nursing, and dentistry. Programs may be planned leading to
the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in various curricu-
lums, and Bachelor of Arts in Theology.
It is the conviction of the college that its resources should be used
efficiently as possible in preparing students to enter religious, pro-
fessional, business, and vocational fields of endeavor. Students are incul-
ated with the ideals of veracious scholarship, honest labor, and, above
11, with the ideals of moral rectitude, integrity, and nobility of character.
Location
Southern Missionary College is located on a one-thousand-acre estate
a valley eighteen miles east of Chattanooga. The Southern Railway
ses through the institutional estate.
The campus lies three miles from Ooltewah, junction point of the
Atlanta and Knoxville divisions of the Southern Railway. Ooltewah is
i on the Lee Highway No. 11, which connects Washington, D. C, and
ber cities in the East with Chattanooga and other southern points.
Daily bus service to Chattanooga and tri-weekly town trips by the
college station wagon provide students with ample transportation facilities,
"lie Chattanooga airport is located only a few miles from the college.
Southern Missionary College
Accreditation
The junior college years at Southern Missionary College are fully
accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, by the Tennessee State Department of Education, and by the
Seventh-day Adventist Board of Regents. The college is a member of
the American Association of Junior Colleges, the Southern Association
cf Private Schools, the Tennessee College Association, and the Mid-South
Association of Private Schools.
Summer Session
The college conducts a nine-week summer session. A normal scho-
lastic load for the summer term is eight hours; nine hours is the
maximum load.
The Summer Session Announcement of Southern Missionary College,
containing detailed statements of the several courses and information of
general interest to students, will be sent on application to the Director of
the Summer Session.
Special Information For Veterans Of World War II
If you are a holder of an honorable discharge from the military serv-
ice of the United States, you are eligible for educational benefits — the
extent depending quite largely on your term of service. Southern Mission-
ary College is fully recognized as a training center for veterans. In
general the rules for admission and continued registration of veterans are
the same as for other students, except that veterans who have not finished
high school may qualify for admission to certain curriculums by passing
successfully the General Educational Development tests at the high school
level.
Most veterans receive educational benefits under the Public Law
346, commonly known as the G. I. Bill of Rights. A veteran holding a
medical discharge from the services is eligible only under Public Law 16;
others have the option of receiving benefits under Public Law 346 or
Public Law 16.
Veterans are advised to determine beforehand, if possible, which plan
is a greater financial benefit to their individual cases.
Procedure for Obtaining Benefits
1. Get in touch with your local veterans service center, or with the
state office of the Veterans Administration if possible. A personal inter-
view is desirable but not essential. Obtain a copy of the proper form of
application, Veterans Administration Form 1950.
.
General Information 15
2. Fill out the form for section A and be sure to accompany it with a
certified copy of your discharge papers, and if you are married, a certified
copy of the public record of your marriage. You can obtain this latter
information from the office of the county clerk of the county in which
you were married. County clerks are familiar with furnishing this infor-
mation, and if you will specify the purpose of your request, you will
receive the proper papers.
File this form with its accompanying documentary evidence with your
proper state office several weeks, if possible, before you plan to come to
the college.
3. If you are eligible, you will receive from the Veterans Administra-
tion your application 1950 returned with section B filled out. This section
B on Form 1950 is called Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement. This
section gives us information that we will need at the time you come to
enroll for your school work. Preserve this document carefully. It is an
official authorization of the government to us to extend to you the benefits
to which you, as a veteran, are entitled.
No student will be enrolled in the college without this document
nless he has been so recently discharged from the service as to make it
impractical for him to obtain it before coming to college.
4. Students who may be attending other schools under the G. I. Bill
of Rights, or Public Law 16, and who wish to transfer to Southern
Missionary College must obtain from the Veterans Administration operat-
ing in the location of the school where they are now in attendance, an
amended certificate of eligibility. This amended certificate of eligibility
must be presented to Southern Missionary College at the time of entrance.
Of course, such students will have made prior application to this college
for admission.
5. Veterans holding medical discharges, or others eligible under
Public Law 16, will receive special documents in place of the regular
certificate of eligibility. The same general procedure for obtaining bene-
fits is used by all.
What The G. I. Bill of Rights Provides
1. The Veterans Administration will pay direct to the school the
charges for tuition, fees, required books and supplies.
The minimum number of college hours for which the veteran may
w full subsistence is twelve for a semester.
.
Fees include the following: registration, laboratory, music and others.
Fees DO NOT include the advance deposit, as explained later, which
mst be made by the veteran at his own expense.
Southern Missionary College
Books and supplies are paid for only if they are required of non-
veterans taking the same courses. The Veterans Administration will not
pay for reference books or "outside reading" books which are available
at the library. It will pay for a Bible if the veteran does not have one, and
if a Bible is required of non-veterans in the same course. It will pay for
inexpensive notebooks, paper, ink, pencils, and other essentials.
2. The Veterans Administration will pay a living allotment each
month to eligible veterans. The amount will depend on whether or not
the veteran is single, or has dependents; and whether he is under Public
Law 346 or under Public Law 16. The usual amount is $65 each calendar
month for a single veteran and $90 each month for one with dependents.
This allotment is sufficient for the veteran to keep up current expenses
under careful management. From this allotment he is expected to keep
up to date his obligations to the school for board, room, laundry, and such
other items as are not paid to the school direct from the Veterans Admini-
stration.
The veteran may supplement his living allotment by part time work
if he wishes and if his school load permits. The average student is able
to do about fifteen hours of remunerative work per week and still carry
a full load of course work. Even this comparatively small amount of labor
will count up quite rapidly in supplementing regular living allotments.
Veterans Administration regulations do not permit outside earnings of
more than $110 per month in addition to the regular allotment. It is
improbable that any veteran can expect to earn even this amount and still
carry a satisfactory load of school work.
3. Veterans in planning their school career should carefully consider
the adequacy of the living allotment to meet all personal needs. Particular-
ly is this true of those who plan a year around program, or of those who
have dependents. In many cases, it might be advisable for veterans to
consider carefully the wisdom of seeking occasionally remunerative em-
ployment over the summer months in order to replenish personal funds.
4. Veterans attending school under Public Law 16 are expected to
attend all regular school sessions the year around, including the summer
school, until their course is completed. As a rule, veterans under Public
Law 16 do not have the freedom of choice or the freedom of interrupting
school work for vacation periods as other veterans do. Public Law 16 in
many cases is more generous with the veterans than is Public Law 346.
Students should determine beforehand which law is of the greatest
personal advantage to them.
General Information 17
The Advance Deposit
This is not a fee, and therefore, is not paid by the Veterans Admini-
stration. It is expected of all students who enter the school and is payable
upon registration. Veterans should not expect the school to wait for this
deposit until the living allotment starts, which will likely be the first week
in November for those who enter in the fall term of 1947, and probably
the first of July or the first of August for those who enter the summer
term.
As has already been explained, the living allotment is adequate to
keep up current expenses under careful management. The advance deposit
is ,not a current expense and must be provided prior to the opening of the
school term along with other necessities for entering college.
Like the advance deposit of all other students this one is "figured back"
to the veteran's personal account at the close of the school term.
Credit for In-Service Training
Veterans who are contemplating a period of training under the pro-
visions of the G.I. Bill of Rights should have sent to the college for
consideration with their application for admission, their application for
credit for educational achievement during military service.
Veterans of World War II no longer on active duty may apply for
high school or college credit by writing directly to the Registrar of the
college, and by inclosing with their letter a cerified copy of W.D., A. G.
O. Form 100, Separation Qualification Record; or Notice of Separation
from the Naval Service, NavPers 553; or U.S.M.C. Report of Separation;
or Notice of Separation from the U. S. Naval Service— Coast Guard, 553.
In the case of Naval commissioned or warrant officers, the Officer's Quali-
fication Record Jacket (NavPers 305), a certified copy thereof, or a state-
ment from the Bureau of Naval Personnel covering the data desired
should be submitted to the college.
The Army Form (A.G.O. Form 100, Separation Qualification Re-
cord,) indicated in the above paragraph has been in use only since the
establishment of Army Separation Centers. Persons discharged before
these centers were in operation will not have available A.G.O. Form 100
and few of them will have made arrangements to file a USAFI Form 47,
Application for Credit for Educational Achievement During Military
Service.
Army veterans separated from the service prior to the institution of
the Army Separation Qualification Record (W. D., A. G. O. Form 100)
may secure an official statement from the Army of their service training
18 Southern Missionary College
and education, excluding courses administered by the United States
Armed Forces Institute, by directing a request to the Adjutant General,
Washington 25, D. C. Each request should contain the following informa-
tion:
1. Full name (given name, middle initial, and surname) .
2. Army Serial Number (enlisted, officer, or both where applicable)
3. Statement of desired information.
4. Names and locations of service schools attended, date entered,
name of course(s), and any additional data which would assist the Ad-
jutant General in preparing the desired statement.
Governing Standards
Southern Missionary College is open to any high school or academy
graduate who is qualified to pursue with profit the courses of study
offered at the college. Veterans who have not finished high school may
qualify for admission by passing successfully the General Educational
Development tests at the high school level.
Of paramount importance, in the judgment of the college, is the
religious phase of the student's education. Students applying for entrance
to the college thereby pledge themselves to maintain the Christian
standards of the institution, to attend all regularly scheduled religious
services, and to give due respect to things spiritual.
Any student who does not maintain a satisfactory scholarship or in-
dustrial record, or who, in the judgment of the faculty or its duly author-
ized committees, is unresponsive or non-cooperative in his relation to the
objectives of the college, may be dismissed without specific charges.
Moral Conduct. Students must abstain from indecent or disorderly
behavior, from profane or unbecoming language, from the use of tobacco
and alcohol, from reading pernicious literature, from playing cards, from
visiting pool rooms or gambling places, from attending the opera, the
motion picture theater, dances, or any other entertainment not approved
by the college.
Automobiles. Concerning the possession and use of motor vehicles,
the college has adopted the policy that unmarried dormitory students may
not bring to the campus or operate a motor vehicle.
Leave of Absence. Permission for ordinary leave of absence from
the campus is to be obtained from the dean of men or the dean of women.
The Students' Handbook should be consulted for information regarding
week-end and other special leaves.
General Information 19
Marriages. A student marrying during the school year is requested
to withdraw. A clandestine marriage may disqualify an applicant for
acceptance as a student, or may be cause for his dismissal if learned of
after he has enrolled.
Announced Regulations. Any regulation adopted by the faculty
and announced to the students will have the same force as those printed
in the catalogue or in the Students' Handbook.
Extracurricular Services and Activities
Counseling and Guidance. The counseling service of the college
is designed to supplement the instructional program by providing oppor-
tunity for the guidance of every student. An endeavor is made to help
each student adjust his entire program to his individual needs, capacities,
an talents, so that it will contribute to his success in college and in after
life.
Residence. All unmarried students who do not live with their par-
ents, near relatives, or legal guardians, are expected to live in the residence
halls on the campus. Exceptions may be made occasionally for reasons
approved by the administrative officers of the college.
Information as to room furnishings to be supplied by the student is
given in the Students' Handbook, which is mailed to each person who
applies for admission, or is otherwise available upon request.
Health Service. The health service is under the direction of a resi-
dent registered nurse. It includes physical check-ups and examinations,
clinical and infirmary service, isolation and protection in the case of
infectious or contagious diseases, health education, and supervision of
sanitation.
Religious Life and Campus Organizations. The local church,
the Sabbath school, the Missionary Volunteer society and its auxiliaries,
the Gospel Workers' Seminar, the colporteur band, the mission study
groups, and the prayer bands contribute to the devotional and prayer life
of the student and afford opportunities for training in leadership, teach-
ing, and church endeavors.
Scholastic and cultural organizations which meet the needs of differ-
ent groups are the departmental clubs, various study groups, several music
organizations, and the clubs in the school homes.
Participation in Extracurricular Activities. The extent to
which students may participate in extracurricular activities is subject to
regulation, in order to help them maintain satisfactory standards of schol-
arship.
20 Southern Missionary College
Convocation, the Lyceum, Athletics. At various times during
the school year distinguished speakers address the students at the chapel
hour. A lyceum course of lectures, travelogues, and musical numbers, is
sponsored by the college. Students of Southern Missionary College do
not participate in intercollegiate athletics, but a program of recreational
activities is maintained.
Financial Aid. In the operation of the college, a large volume of
employment is offered to students. Under the guidance of skilled super-
visors, this work affords valuable training, and brings a college education
wfthin the reach of many who would otherwise find it impossible to
attend school.
Publications. Under the direction of a sponsor appointed from the
faculty, the students edit and publish biweekly The Southern Accent,
which gives the news of the campus and vicinity. Southern Memories,
the yearbook of the college, is published by a student staff under the
supervision of a faculty adviser.
The Preparatory School
Connected with the college is Collegedale Academy, a fully accredited
preparatory school. While this school has a separate organization, it shares
with the college the facilities of the latter. For information, write to the
principal of Collegedale Academy.
General Academic Regulations
Admission
Application Procedure. An applicant for admission will fill out
and mail to the registrar an application blank from the Bulletin, or one
furnished, upon request, by the college.
The room reservation fee of $5.00 should accompany the application
for admission. It will be credited to the first month's statement; or
will be refunded if the applicant is not admitted, or if he decides not
to enter and notifies the college not later than August 1, 1947.
Official credentials, which in every case include a complete record of
all previous secondary school credits (and college credits, if any), should
be sent to the registrar soon after the close of the school year. If the
application for admission is not received at least two weeks before the
opening of the school year, it may not be possible for the applicant to be
notified of his status so he can enter on the opening date.
Transcripts of credit accepted toward admission become the property
of the college and are kept on permanent file.
Freshman Standing. Graduates of accredited four-year secondary
schools are admitted to freshman standing upon properly certified tran-
script of credits, but such students may have subject deficiencies to make
up.
Graduates of unaccredited schools, whose official transcripts show
sixteen acceptable units, may qualify for freshman standing by passing
such entrance examinations as may be required.
Conditional freshman standing may be given to a person who has
completed fourteen acceptable units. When possible, the remaining two
units are to be earned during the first year of attendance at the college.
Veterans who have not been graduated from high school may qualify
for admission to certain curriculums at Southern Missionary College by
passing successfully the General Educational Development tests at high
school level. For further information concerning admission of veterans,
see the section, "Special Information for Veterans of World War II."
Advanced Standing. Students who have attended other institutions
of collegiate rank may be admitted to advanced standing on presentation
of a transcript of credits, including those from secondary schools, and a
certificate of honorable dismissal. Advanced standing is allowed only on
work of "C" average; the credit is regarded as provisional at the time of
the applicant's admission, and will not be recorded and re-issued on
transcript u.ntil after the applicant has attended this college for one
semester or the equivalent, and has earned during that time not less than
twelve hours with a scholarship average of "C."
Southern Missionary College
A maximum of seventy-two hours may be accepted from a junior
college.
Admission as a Special Student. A person over twenty-one years
of age who has not completed secondary school may be admitted as a
special student (not a candidate for a degree or a diploma), provided
he secures the approval of the registrar and of the instructor whose course
he wishes to take.

•curriculum if he has the following units:
English 3
Bible (one unit for each year of attendance in an academy, to
the total of 3) 1-3
General Academic Regulations 23
Mathematics 1
Science 1
Social Studies 2
Vocational 1
Elective Sufficient to make a total of 16 units
Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. For admission to this
curriculum, completion of secondary school, but no specific pattern of
units, is required. It is recommended that the student have credit for
algebra and geometry among the units presented for admission.
Bachelor of Science in Religious Education. Completion of
high school, but no specific pattern of units, is required for admission. It
is recommended that as far as possible the applicant meet the requirements
for admission to the liberal arts curriculum.
Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Science. For admission to
this curriculum, completion of secondary school, but no specific pattern
of units is required. It is recommended that as far as possible, the same
units be presented as are specified for admission to the liberal arts cur-
riculum.
Two- Year Elementary Teacher Training. This curriculum com-
prises the first two years of the curriculum leading to a Bachelor of
Science in Elementary Education. See above for information as to speci-
fied units for admission.
Industrial Arts. For admission to this curriculum no specific pat-
tern of secondary school units is required; but if the student wishes to

Training. Completion of four years of secondary school is required for
admission.
Pre-Professional Curriculums. The following pattern, with grad-
uation from an accredited secondary school and completion of the neces-
sary college courses, satisfies the requirements for admission to many
schools of medicine, dentistry, and nursing; but inasmuch as require-
ments for admission to professional schools differ, a student preparing
for professional training should acquaint himself with the secondary
and collegiate requirements for admission to the particular school he
desires to enter, and plan both his secondary school and college program
to meet these requirements.

Deficiencies. A student who has sufficient total acceptable units but
lacks specific required units, may be admitted to college and may make up
entrance deficiencies, except mathematics, by taking college work in these
subjects. These hours apply as elective credit toward graduation, except
that credit in foreign language and Bible applies toward the basic require-
ments in these fields. Arrangements for removing all entrance deficiencies
should be made at the time of first registration.
When a college course is taken to remove an entrance deficiency, four
hours are counted as the equivalent of one secondary school unit.
Miscellaneous. One unit of credit in a modern foreign language
is not accepted toward admission, unless the second unit is earned or the
language continued in college.
Registration
Registration for both semesters begins at 9:00 a. m. Monday, Septem-
ber 15. Care should be taken to secure a proper sequence of courses.
It is important that students complete their registration during the days
assigned for that purpose. See the section on expenses for information as
to the fee for late registration.
Freshmen and others entering this college for the first time take the
placement examinations given by the college at the time of registration.
Experience has demonstrated the fact that any student who enters
school late places upon himself a serious handicap at the outset. This
is particularly true in such courses as science, mathematics, and foreign
language. Therefore, students who come more than two weeks late will
not be enrolled for full course work, and may be denied admission to
General Academic Regulations 25
certain courses because of the difficulty of making up the work. Absences
incurred by late entrance count toward a student's class standing.
No grades will be recorded for a student who has not been properly
registered for a course.
Changes In Registration. After registration is completed, any
change of program is made by means of a program voucher obtained from
the registrar. This voucher is to be signed by the instructor in each course
affected, and returned by the student to the registrar's office. The change in
registration is not effective until the voucher has been signed and returned.
A student may change his program without charge, upon approval of
his adviser, the registrar, and the teachers concerned, during the first week
of each semester. A fee of two dollars will be charged for change of
program after the first week.
Drop vouchers affecting registration for the current semester are not
accepted after the beginning of semester examinations.
A course dropped without permission at any time will be recorded as a
failure.
Semester Hour. A semester hour represents one fifty-minute lecture
or recitation per week, or the equivalent, through a semester of eighteen
weeks.
Student Load. Sixteen semester hours constitute a normal full
load for a semester. If a student is working to defray expenses, his course
load will be adjusted accordingly. The mimimum semester load of a
student living in the dormitory is eight hours.
On recommendation of his adviser, and approval by the dean of his
written application, a student of exceptional ability whose previous
scholastic record has been above average may register for eighteen hours;
but in no case may more than eighteen hours of residence work, or of res-
idence and correspondence work, be carried during a semester.
Course Numbers. Odd numbers represent first semester courses;
even numbers, second semester courses. Courses numbered below 100
are lower division courses, taken largely by freshmen and sophomores;
those numbered 100 or above are upper division courses, open to juniors
and seniors. In exceptional cases, sophomores may be admitted to certain
upper division courses, usually for lower division credit. See "Admission
of Sophomores to Upper Division Courses."
Courses marked with two numbers separated by a hyphen (e.g., 1-2)
are year courses, the semesters to be taken in the order given. Credit
for the first semester only will not apply toward meeting the require-
ments for a diploma from any curriculum.
26 Southern Missionary College
Courses with numbers separated by a colon (e.g. 11:12) are year
courses of which either semester may be taken first; but both semes-
ters must be taken before the credit may apply toward graduation from
any curriculum.
Admission of Sophomores to Upper Division Courses. A sopho-
more may register for one or more upper division courses, for upper divi-
sion credit, provided he has earned, with an average of "C" or above,
fifty hours including basic freshman and sophomore courses already taken,
and provided, also, that his current registration completes the fulfillment
of lower division basic, major and minor requirements.
In exceptional cases, a sophomore may be admitted to certain upper
division courses, for lower division credit.
A sophomore desiring admission to an upper division course makes
application on a blank obtainable from the registrar's office.
Special Hours. On permission of the committee on scholarship and
academic standards, a senior may earn an additional hour in an upper
division course completed or being carried in his major or minor field.
Auditing Courses. A student may audit a course only by permis-
sion of the registrar and the instructor concerned, and should register
as an auditor at the time of other registration. No credit is given for a
course audited. The tuition charge is one-half that for credit.
Classification of Students
Students are classified by the registrar. The following schedule
governs the classification of students:
Freshman. Completion of a four-year high school course, except
that a freshman may be admitted conditionally on the completion of
fourteen acceptable units, the remaining two units to be taken during the
freshman yean
Sophomore. Thirty hours with a "C" average, the hours to in-
clude basic requirements completed, and the average to be computed
separately on hours earned in Southern Missionary College.
Junior. Sixty-two hours with a "C" average, the hours to include
basic requirements completed, and the average computed separately on
the hours earned in Southern Missionary College.
For membership in the junior class organization, all entrance deficien-
cies must have been removed and the junior year's work must have been
carried satisfactorily to the time of admission to the class, and the
remaining hours, in addition to current registration, to be completed for
General Academic Regulations 27
a degree shall not be more than can be earned in one summer and the
senior year.
Senior. Ninety-four hours of "C" average (this average separately
from Southern Missionary College) at the beginning of the first semes-
ter, with current registration to satisfy all remaining requirements for a
degree.
For membership in the senior class organization the senior year's
work must have been carried satisfactorily to the time of admission to the
class. If a course is taken by correspondence during the senior year, the
transcript of credit and the report that the validation examination has
been passed must be on file in the registrar's office before the student is
eligible for membership in the senior class.
Adult Special. A person at least twenty-one years of age who is not
working toward the fulfillment of degree requirements. For further in-
formation, see "Adult Special" section under "Admission."
Attendance Regulations
Class Attendance. Regular attendance at all classes is expected of
every student. If a student is absent because of illness or emergency, he
should file promptly in the office of the dean an excuse for the absence.
For a dormitory student the excuse for absence occasioned by illness must
must be approved by the health service. To be acceptable an excuse must
be filed in the dean's office within the time specified following the posting
of the list of absences. Absences occasioned by late entrance, leave of
absence from campus, trips to town, or visits of relatives or friends, are
not excusable.
Three tardinesses count as one absence.
Class or laboratory work missed may be made up only by permission
of the dean.
If a student is absent because of illness or other circumstances beyond
his control from one or more class appointments adjacent to vacation, he
may, at the discretion of the dean, be exempt from the double-point loss
for such absence. He should make written application for exemption,
stating his reasons fully.
A student who permits his absences from any class or laboratory to
exceed the number of semester hours in the course thereby forfeits his
membership in that course and may be reinstated only on permission of
the dean. A student will be notified by the dean when he has reached
the limit, and notification will be sent to the teachers when the limit has
been exceeded.
28 Southern Missionary College
Teachers are requested to arrange for classes adjacent to a vacation as
outlined under a,b,c, or to devise an equivalent procedure:
a. The last class appointment preceding vacation: a quiz with double
point value.
b. The first class appointment following vacation: a lecture.
c. Second class appointment following vacation: a double point value
quiz on the lecture provided for under item b.
On approval of the instructor, a junior or a senior on the dean's list
will not be held strictly to the attendance requirements of a course so
long as he maintains his work in each course at a "B" level.
Chapel Absences. Three unexcused absences from chapel without
penalty are allowed in a semester. The fourth unexcused absence neces-
sitates the payment in cash of a fine of $1.00 which cancels only one
absence, leaving three unexcused. The next unexcused absence brings
the student's name to the government committee for consideration.
Three tardinesses to chapel are counted as one absence.
To be acceptable, an excuse for absence from chapel is to be filed
in the dean's office within one week from the date of the absence.
Excuses for absences caused by illness are to be approved by the
health service, but it is the student's responsibility in every instance to
file his excuse at the dean's office.
Correspondence and Extension Work
Southern Missionary College offers no extramural instruction; there-
fore all credits from this college must be earned in residence.
The maximum of correspondence and/or extension credit which may
apply on a four-year curriculum, is twelve hours; proportionately less for
shorter curriculums.
It is strongly urged that students plan their college course schedule so
that it will not be necessary to take a course by correspondence during
the senior year; but if correspondence credit is earned during the senior
year, the transcript of credit and a report that the validation examination
has been passed must be on file in the office of the registrar before the
student is eligible for membership in the senior class.
Credit earned by correspondence after failure in the same course at
Southern Missionary College will be accepted only if the entire course
was taken by correspondence (not taken on a review basis).
General Academic Regulations 29
In no case may more than eighteen hours of residence work and cor-
respondence work be carried in a semester.
Within the limits outlined above, the acceptance of credit earned by
rorrespondence is dependent on the following:
1. The student must pass the validation examination over the course,
given by the college.
2. The grade earned by correspondence shall be at least a "C."
3. The credit must be applicable on the curriculum in which the stu-
dent is enrolled.
4. The correspondence course must have been taken by permission of
the college during a period of resident attendance, or followed by the
earning in this college of twelve hours with a scholarship average of "C."
Examinations
Course Examinations. Examinations are given in all courses at the
end of each semester. Students are expected to take examinations at the
time scheduled, unless prevented by illness or other unavoidable cir-
cumstance.
Entrance Examinations. See "Freshman Standing" under "Ad-
mission."
Exemption Examination. A student may be exempt by examina-
tion from a specific course requirement for graduation (such as within the
basic group, or within or accompanying a major or a minor) provided he
passes with a grade of at least "C" a comprehensive examination covering
the particular course. The examination for exemption shall be prepared
and administered under the direction of the committee on scholarship and
academic standards. No hours of credit are given for an exemption ex-
amination. Fee, $2.00.
Special Examinations. Special examinations are given when justi-
fied by circumstances, such as sickness or necessary absence from the cam-
pus. A fee of one dollar is charged for each special examination. In-
structors may give such examinations only upon evidence of properly
signed receipts.
A re-examination is permitted only upon vote of the faculty.
Validation Examinations. A validation examination, given by
the college, is required over a course taken by correspondence. A vali-
dation examination may be required to validate credits earned in resi-
dence in another institution. The fee for a validation examination is $1.00.
30 Southern Missionary Colleg e
Grades and Reports
Reports of scholarship are issued to students and their parents at the
mid-semester and at the dose of the semester. Semester grades are per-
manently recorded by the college for future reference.
The following system of grading is used:
Grade Grade Points
per Semester Hour
A — Superior 3
B — Above average 2
C — Average 1
D — Below average
F — Failure Minus 1
E — Warning for below passing scholarship; no grade
higher than "D" in the course for the semester; be-
comes "F" if not removed within a year after date re-
reported.
I — Incomplete because of illness or other unavoidable de-
lay; becomes "F" if not removed within a year after
date reported.
W — Withdrew passing
Wf — Withdrew failing Minus 1
Au — Audit
Unless acceptable explanation, such as serious illness, can be given,
a student whose work is reported unsatisfactory may be asked to with-
draw from school.
A grade correctly reported to the registrar can be changed only upon
repetition of the course.
When a course is repeated to raise a grade, it must be done before
a more advanced course in the same field is completed.
Credit may not be earned in a course after a more advanced course
in the same field has been taken.
No grades will be recorded for a course for which the individual con-
cerned has not registered.

JUNIOR COLLEGE CURRICULUMS
Terminal and pre- professional curriculums are offered an the junior
college level. Bach curriculum, except prenursing, leads to a diploma; but
since many of the courses in each curriculum are of professional or voca-
tional .nature, a student graduated from one of these curriculums usually
has lower division basic requirements to make up if he transfers to the
curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree and will need to spend
more than the usual four years to qualify for this degree.
Entrance requirements for each curriculum are given immediately
preceding the curriculum.
For graduation, the same requirements as to character, senior residence,
and grade-point average, as for a Bachelor of Arts degree, apply to each of
these curriculums.

PRENURSING
The following pattern, with high school graduation and completio
of the college prenursing courses, satisfies admission requirements c
many schools of nursing; but inasmuch as requirements for admissio
ro professional schools differ, a student looking forward to nurses' trainin
should acquaint herself with the requirements for admission to the pal
ticular school she desires to enter, and plan both the secondary and th
college program to meet these requirements.
Admission requirements for many schools of nursing specify the fol
lowing sixteen units and graduation from an accredited secondary schoc
with a high "C" average:
Graduation Standards 51
Units
English 3
Foreign Language (both units must be in the same language) 2
Mathematics (shall include one unit of algebra, and does
not include commercial or other applied mathematics) 2
History 1
Bible (one* unit for each year of attendance at a Seventh-
day Adventist academy to the extent of three units; one
unit for high school graduates) 1-3
Science (one unit must be chemistry or physics) 2
Sufficient electives to make a total of sixteen units.
Beginning in 1950, many schools of nursing expect to require for
admission one unit of physics from the secondary school.
Upon entrance, college prenursing students are given tests in
arithmetic for nurses and reading comprehension and speed. Remedial
work in arithmetic and reading will be required of all those who do not
pass these tests with satisfactory standing.
The college prenursing work leads to a certificate instead of a diploma.
It is strongly urged that these courses be taken in two semesters and a
summer term, or in two years. Students may do some of this work by
correspondence in order to restrict residence to one year, and it is urged
that such correspondence credit be earned prior to attendance at Southern
Missionary College.

Expenses
Each student entering college, after having met the full financial and
labor requirement, has actually covered only a part of the full cost of his
instruction and maintenance. The operating deficit is covered by gifts,
subsidies, and funds from other sources. The educational opportunity
afforded each student in Southern Missionary College represents a large
investment in buildings and equipment, averaging more than two thous-
and dollars for each student enrolled.
Room Deposit
Dormitory rooms may be reserved by mailing a $5.00 room deposit to
the Secretary of Admissions at the college between May 1 and September
1. This deposit will appear as a credit on the first statement of the first
semester.
In case the student's application is not accepted, or if notice of non-
attendance is given the college by August 1, the room deposit will be
refunded at once by check.
Advance Deposit and Matriculation Fee
Dormitory Non-boarding Community
Advance Deposit $50.00 $35.00 $25.00

Advance Deposits are expected of all students including
veterans who are attending the school under the g. i. blll of
Rights.
The advance deposit is charged only once during the year, and is
payable on or before the date of registration. It will be credited on the
final statement of the school year, or at the time of withdrawal.
The matriculation fee includes the fees for library, lyceum, school
paper, and year book, and is charged each semester. It is not refundable,
except in case of withdrawal within the first two weeks of the semester, in
which case one-half will be refunded.

work, the regular advance deposit and matriculation fee will be required

12-16 Semester Hours 120.00
(16 semester hours are considered full school work).
More than 16 semester hours, per semester hour 5.00
These charges are made in four equal installments for each semester,
monthly, beginning with the statement for October.
It is assumed to be the earnest purpose of each student to secure
an education, and since even those working their entire way have
time for as much as one-half of a full class load, each student is urged to
carry at least that much school work. Under ordinary circumstances, a
student will not be registered for less than eight semester hours.
Private work is discouraged, and no credit will be given for it unless
satisfactory arrangements have been made in advance with the registrar.
The charge for private work is the same as for regular tuition, plus
tutoring fee.
Tuition charges terminate only upon presentation of a drop voucher
obtained at the registrar's office. A proportionate charge will be computed
as of the end of the week in which the drop voucher is obtained.
Students entering late will be charged tuition from the beginning of
the semester, unless they have been attending school elswhere to the time
of their enrollment and no make-up work is necessary. One week will be
allowed at the beginning of each semester for a change of program with-
out charge. The regular charge is $2.00. A late registration fee is charged
a student who registers later than the registration week.
98 Southern Missionary College
Music Tuition and Rentals
The charge for any private music instruction is $24.00 per semester,
or $48.00 for the year, for one lesson per week. This charge is made in
eight installments of $6.00 each, in the same manner as the regular
tuition. All students who wish to take music must enroll for it at the
registrar's office. There are no refunds for specified vacation periods or
lessons missed because of the student's absence.
Students who enroll late, or who withdraw before the end of the
semester, are charged at the rate of $1.60 per week up to a maximum of
$24.00 for one lesson a week. Withdrawal is made by means of a drop
voucher obtained at the registrar's office.

Board Charges
The cafeteria plan of boarding is used, which allows the student the
privilege of choosing his food and paying only for what he selects. The
minimum monthly charge for dormitory students is $17.00. This covers a
full calendar month. The average costs run higher than these figures, total-
ing around $195.00 per year for women and $230.00 for men.
No allowance is made for absence from the campus except for speci-
fied vacations of one week or more, and in cases of emergency. Three
meals a day are served. Students living in the school homes are expected
to take their meals in the dining room.
Dormitory Rent, Laundry, and Medical Service
A room charge of $16.50 per calendar month is made to each student
residing in a school home. This charge provides for steam heat, light up to
150 watts, medical service (as specified below), and laundry not exceed-
ing $2.00. On this basis, two students occupy one room. If three occupy
one room, the charge is reduced to $14.50 per month. The rate for
rooms in the new additions to the dormitories, with private bath, is
$18.50 for each student. No refund is made because of absence from the
campus either for regular vacation periods or for other reasons. If the
laundry charge exceeds $2.00 per month, the excess will be added.
Medical Service
The medical care includes dispensary service and general nursing care
not exceeding two weeks. An extra charge of 10 cents per tray is made
each time tray service is required. There will also be an extra charge for
calls by a physician, special nursing care, and for calls by the school nurse
to students living outside the school home.
All prospective students should have their eyes tested by a competent
oculist, and have any necessary dental work cared for before entering
school.
100 Southern Missionary College
Tithe and Church Expense
Southern Missionary College encourages the payment of tithe and
church expense by its student workers. In order to facilitate this practice,
arrangements are made for students to have charged to their accounts ten
per cent of their school earnings for tithe, and one per cent for church
expense. These funds are then transferred by the college to the treasurer
of the Collegedale S. D. A. Church.
Fund For Personal Expenses
Students should be provided with sufficient funds, in addition to
money for school expenses, to cover cost of books, clothing, and all personal
items. They may open deposit accounts at the business office, subject to
withdrawal in person only, and these funds are available at any time, as
long as there is a credit remaining of what the student has deposited.
These deposit accounts are entirely separate from the regular students'
expense accounts.
Purchases from the college store or from other departments on the
campus are made only by cash. At the beginning of each semester, a
student may purchase from the business office a store voucher which may
be used at the store for the purchase of books and school supplies only.
Payment of Accounts
Statements will be issued to students on the last day of each calendar
month, covering the month's expenses and credits. To make this possible,
the books will have to be closed a few days earlier to give time for prepar-
ing the statements; board charges and labor and cash credits after that
closing will appear on the following month's statement.
To encourage prompt payment, a cash discount of two per cent will
be allowed on the balance due the school for the current month's expenses
less labor credits, if paid within the discount period of fifteen days from
date of statement.
The college board has made the costs as low as is consistent with
educational efficiency. The school, therefore, must expect prompt payment
of all accounts. Failure in this respect may terminate a student's connect-
ion with the school.
Transcripts of credits and diplomas are issued only when students'
accounts are paid in full.
Post dated checks are not acceptable.
Expenses 101
Student Labor Regulations
Believing in the inspired words that "systematic labor should consti-
tute a part of the education of youth," 1 Southern Missionary College has
made provision that every student enrolled may have the privilege of
organizing his educational program on the "work-study" plan. "Jesus
the carpenter, and Paul the tent-maker, . . . with the toil of the craftsman
linked the highest ministry, human and divine." 2 The college not only
provides a work-study program, but strongly recommends it to each stu-
dent enrolled.
Inasmuch as the student's labor constitutes a part of his education,
participation in the work program is graded, and a report issued to him.
This grade is based upon the following:
Interest Integrity Initiative
Leadership Dependability Comparability
Punctuality Cooperation Efficiency
A record of vocational experience and efficiency is also kept, by se-
mesters, for each student in which is listed the type of work in which he
has engaged and his degree of efficiency. This information will be avail-
able for potential employers.
The college will assign students to departments where work is avail-
able and cannot shift students from one department to another merely
upon request. It should be understood that once a student is assigned to
work in a given department, he will remain there for the entire school
year except in rare cases where changes are recommnded by the school
nurse, or are made at the discretion of the college.
Should a student find it necessary to be absent from work, he must
immediately make arrangements with his work superintendent. In cases
of illness, he will also inform the health service. For tardiness, or failure
to report to work without making prior satisfactory arrangements, a stu-
dent is liable to suspension from work and class programs.
Scholarships
Colporteur Scholarships. For the encouragement of colporteurs,
the college, together with the local conference, book and Bible house, and
publishing house, offers a very liberal scholarship bonus.
No additional regular cash discounts are allowed in cases where a
colporteur scholarship bonus is granted.

Tennessee, Southern Publishing Association, 1923.
2 Ellen G. White, Education, p. 217, Mountain View, California, Pacific Press
Publishing Association. 1903.
102 Southern Missionary College
In order to qualify for this scholarship, a man needs to spend in the
colporteur work a minimum of 400 hours; a woman, 350 hours. Through
the benefits of a colporteur scholarship, it is possible for a college student
to meet the cash requirement of Plan I by selling only $882.00 worth
of subscription books.
Cash earnings (50% of sales shown above) $441.00
Scholarship bonus 189.00
Total cash requirement $630.00
This covers the following items of school expense for students residing
in the dormitory:
Matriculation, 2 semesters $24.00
Tuition, full work 240.00
Room, laundry, medical service, etc 136.00
Board, average for men 230.00
$630.00
If the earnings are less than required for a full scholarship, the bonus
will be proportionately smaller.
Any extra expenses not provided for in the scholarship may be covered
by labor or cash from other sources.
Tuition Scholarships. Each year the college, in conj miction with
the several local conferences of the Southern Union Conference, awards
eleven $50 cash scholarships to be applied on tuition: $25 at the end
of the first semester and $25 at the end of the second. The candidates
are chosen as follows: The faculty of each designated school nominates
its candidate; the name, if approved by the school board, is recommended
to the educational board of the local conference, for final approval.
The selection of nominees is based on character, scholarship, personality,
and promise of future leadership. The names of the nominees are an-
nounced at the time of commencement at the college. The following
schools are eligible to participate in this plan:
Asheville Agricultural School
Atlanta Academy
Collegedale Academy
Forest Lake Academy (2)
Highland Academy
Pewee Valley Academy
Pine Forest Academy
Pisgah Institute
Expenses 103
Prospective Teachers' Scholarships. The Southern Union Con-
ference Executive Committee has adopted the following recommendation
which became effective in the fall of 1943:
Voted: that we recommend to each local conference the setting up of three
$100.00 scholarships annually to help provide for the first year normal work of
prospective church school teachers who have completed their secondary education,
the beneficiaries to be selected by each local conference educational committee,
and that they be required to teach at least two consecutive years following gradua-
tion in the conference granting such scholarship. In the event that the beneficiary
does not fulfill his part of the agreement, the scholarship will become a debt
payable to the conference immediately.
In addition to the above, we recommend the continuation of scholarships by
the conferences to the sum of $100.00 instead of $50.00 as formerly, to Southern
Missionary College, for students from each conference who are completing the
second semester of the final year of the Teacher Training Course, and who other-
wise are not financially able to complete the year's work, upon the following
conditions:
1. Are recommended by the President and the Director of Teacher Training
of Southern Missionary College.
2. Are recommended by the Educational Committee of the local conference
and approved by the conference committee.
3. Are pledged to give two consecutive years of teaching service in their own
conference.
It is understood that in the case of any beneficiary receiving both scholarships,
the teaching service required will be only a total of two years.
Educational Fund
Many young people are deprived of the privilege of attending college
because of a lack of necessary means. To aid these, an earnest effort has
been made to obtain donations for the establishment of an educational
fund, from which students worthy of help may borrow money for a
reasonable length of time. Faithfulness in refunding these loans will
make it possible for the same money to assist many students in school.
There have been some gifts, and they have been used to help several
young men and women complete their work in this college. But the
needs of worthy students have been greater than the funds on hand; con-
sequently it has been impossible in many instances to render the desired
assistance. It has therefore been decided to direct the attention of patrons
and friends of the school to these facts and to invite them to give such
means as they may desire to devote to this purpose. The college will be
glad to correspond with any who think favorably of this plan, and will
continue to use the gifts so that the wishes of the donors may be fulfilled
and the best results obtained.
"In each conference a fund should be raised to lend to worthy poor
students who desire to give themselves to the missionary work; and in
some cases they should receive donations. When the Battle Creek Col-
lege was first started, there was a fund placed in the Review and Herald
office for the benefit of those who wished to obtain an education, but
had not the means. This was used by several students until they could
get a good start; then from their earnings they would replace what they
had drawn, so that others might be benefited by the fund. The youth
should have it plainly set before them that they must work their own way
as far as possible and thus partly defray their expenses. That which cost*
little will be appreciated little. But that which costs a price somewhere
near its real value will be estimated accordingly." — Testimonies, Vol. 6,
pages 213, 214.
