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 ex-
tension, in the spring of 1944, to senior college status, and the first
fcur-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
Basic Denominational Tenets. Seventh-day Adventists believe in an
infinite Creator as the source of all life and wisdom; they regard man
as created in God's image and endowed with mental, moral, and physical
powers capable of growth and development; they accept the moral law as
binding upon all men and believe in personal redemption from sin through
Jesus Christ; they accept the Bible as God's Word, the inspired revelation
of His will to men; they believe that through proper education young
people may be led to practice habits of correct thinking, to develop
Christian character and to make diligent preparation for a purposeful life
of efficient service to their fellow men.
Specific Objectives. Southern Missionary College is a four-year co-
educational college of arts and sciences operated by the Seventh-day Ad-
ventist denomination; its general objectives are those of this governing
organization. In full harmony with these general objectives, the authori-
ties of the college have further defined its specific institutional objectives
as follows:
1. Spiritual — To establish an unswerving personal allegiance to the
principles of the Christian faith; to develop a distinctly Christian
philosophy of life as a basis for the solution of all personal and
social problems; and to acquire a sense of personal responsibility
to participate in the mission program of the church.
2. Intellectual — To gain an acquaintance with the basic facts and
principles of the major fields of knowledge necessary to indepen-
dent and creative thinking; to acquire an attitude of open-minded
consideration of controversial questions; to achieve a continuing
intellectual curiosity; and to acquire the art of effective expression
(in spoken and written English and in the graphic arts).
3. Ethical — To acquire those ethical and moral concepts which are
approved by the enlightened conscience of mankind; to achieve
an attitude of tolerance toward the rights and opinions of others;
General Information 17
and to accept the social obligation of serving humanity and labor
diligently for its welfare.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II
If you are a holder of an honorable discharge from the military
service of the United States, you are eligible for educational benefits.
Southern Missionary 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 cur-
riculums 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 has the option of receiving benefits under Public
Law 346 or Public Law 16; others are eligible only under Public Law 346.
Procedure for Obtaining Benefits
1. Get in touch with your local veterans service center, or with the
state office of the Veterans Administration, and obtain a copy of Veterans
Administration Form 1950.
2. Fill out Form 1950, and file it, together with the following
documentary evidence, with your proper state office several weeks, if
possible, before you plan to come to the college: a certified copy of your
discharge papers; if you are married, a certified copy of the public record
of your marriage; and if you have one or more children* a certified copy of
the birth certificate of one child. You can obtain a certified copy of the
marriage record from the office of the county clerk of the county in which
you were married. For information as to the birth certificate, if you do
General Information 19
not already have one, write to the registrar of vital statistics, in the
department of public health, at the state capital.
3. If you are eligible, you will receive from the Veterans Administra-
tion Form 1953, Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement. 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 veteran will be enrolled in the college without this document unless
he has been so recently discharged from the service as to make it im-
practical for him to obtain it before coming to college.
4. If you hold an Original or Supplemental Certificate of Eligibility
issued prior to September 1, 1948, you should contact your local office
of the Veterans Administration and request them to re-issue it.
5. Students who may be attending other schools under the G. I.
Bill of Rights, and who wish to transfer to Southern Missionary
College, must obtain from the Veterans Administration operating in
the location of the school where they are now in attendance a supple-
mental certificate of eligibility. This 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.
6. Veterans holding medical discharges and eligible under Public
Law 16 should make arrangements for a personal interview with your
Veterans Administration representative at his local office. There you
will receive an authorization to enter training at Southern Missionary
College. Whether you desire to enter training for the first time or to
transfer to Southern Missionary College, the Veterans Administration must
grant permission and provide the school with a letter of authorization
before you can enroll under Public Law 16.
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
draw full subsistence is twelve for a semester; under Public Law 16 a
veteran must take a full course load unless he has special authorization
for a reduced program.
Fees include the following: registration, laboratory, music and
others. Fees do not include the advance deposits, as explained later,
which must be made by the veteran at his own expense.
Books and supplies are paid for only if they are required of
nonveterans taking the same courses.
2. Following are the usual monthly subsistence allotments and
the maximum amounts of outside earnings allowed the three categories
of veterans:
20 Southern Missionary College
Maximum Outside
Allotments Earnings
Single $ 75.00 $135.00
Married (no children) 105.00 165.00
Married (with children) 120.00 170.00
From his allotment a veteran is expected to keep up to date his
obligations to the college for board, room, laundry, and such other items
as are not paid to the college direct from the Veterans Administration.
3. Veterans attending school under Public Law 16 are expected to
attend all regular school sessions the year around, including the summer
session, 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 eligible under Public Law 16 should determine beforehand
which law is of the greatest personal advantage to them.
The Advance Deposit
This is not a fee, and therefore, is not paid by the Veterans Adminis-
tration. 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 1948, 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 certified 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-
General Information 21
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
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 each course, and any additional data which would be helpful
in the preparation of the desired statement.
GOVERNING STANDARDS
In the light of the objectives of the college the religious phase of
the student's education is of paramount importance. 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 administrative council, 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. The college has adopted and enforces the rule that
unmarried residence-hall students may not bring to the campus or operate
a motor vehicle.
22 Southern Missionary College
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 Student's Handbook should be consulted for information regarding
week-end and other special leaves.
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 Student 's Handbook.
EXTRACURRICULAR SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES
Testing and Counseling Service. This service provides general
assistance to all students and also certain professional services for those
with special needs. General assistance for all students is provided for
by eight personal counselors who devote some hours each week to in-
dividual conferences with students. The various officers, division chair-
men and curriculum advisers also cooperate in this general advisory
program. All students participate in the general testing program, which
includes measures of scholastic aptitude, reading proficiency, social ad-
justment, vocational proficiency and others as the need may require.
Highly personalized counseling and testing services are provided for
students with special needs. The chairman of the Division of Education
and the college physician unite in providing this specialized clinical service
for those who desire special counsel concerning such matters as the choice
of a vocation, emotional and social maladjustments, and marital problems.
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 Council.
Information as to room furnishings to be supplied by the student is
given in the Student's Handbook, which is mailed to each person who
applies for admission, and it is also available upon request.
Health Service. The health service is under the supervision 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.
General Information 23
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
within 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.
Religious Life and Campus Organizations. The local church,
the Sabbath school, the Missionary Volunteer society and its auxiliaries,
the Gospel Workers' Seminar, trie 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. Various other scholastic and cultural organi-
zations meet the needs of different campus groups.
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.
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
Southern Missionary College is open to high school or academy
graduates who, according to the judgment of the Admissions Committee,
are qualified to pursue with profit the courses offered by the college.
Factors in determining eligibility for admission are character, citizen-
ship, reputation, health, scholastic achievement, and intellectual ability.
Application Procedure. Application for admission is made on
a blank supplied by the college. Correspondence concerning admission
should be addressed to the Secretary of Admissions, Collegedale, Ten-
nessee. An applicant who has not previously attended Southern Mis-
sionary College will inclose with the application a small clear photograph.
An applicant who expects the college to provide living quarters
should send with the application the $5.00 room reservation fee. This
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. (July 1 for married students expecting
to occupy college housing.)
The applicant should request the school last attended to send directly
to the Secretary of Admissions a complete official transcript of all pre-
vious secondary school and college credits. It is the responsibility of
the applicant to see that such credentials are sent to Southern Missionary
College in time for use in the consideration of his application. No
portion of the applicant's scholastic record may be omitted from the
transcript submitted for consideration.
Transcripts of credit accepted toward admission become the property
of the college and are kept on permanent file.
Applications from veterans are considered on the same basis as
those from other students. Since many service units have only tem-
porary existence, it is the responsibility of the veterans to obtain and
submit official certificates of any service-school education for which credit
is desired. Requests for the evaluation of such credits should be ad-
dressed to the Registrar.
General Academic Regulations 25
Orientation Days. Two days at the beginning of each school
year are devoted to the orientation of new students. It is essential that
all freshmen and transfer students be in attendance. During this period
placement and aptitude tests and a physical examination are given. No
charge is made for these examinations if they are taken at the appointed
time.
Admission On G. E. D. Tests. Admission to full freshman stand-
ing at Southern Missionary College is possible to candidates, both veterans
and non-veterans, who, failing to meet the entrance requirements other-
wise, can qualify on the following points: 1. The candidate must have
completed elementary school; 2. The candidate must take the General
Education Development tests (either at Southern Missionary College or at
any other approved testing station) making an average standard score of
45 with a minimum score of 35 on each test. In case the candidate
falls below a score of 35 in any field he must register for at least one
unit in the secondary school in that field. For non-veterans the minimum
age limit for eligibility to sit for G. E. D. tests is twenty-one years.
These tests must be taken prior to or during the first month of atten-
dance at the college.
Freshman Standing. Those graduates of accredited four-year
secondary schools whose scholarship record is acceptable are admitted
to freshman standing upon properly certified transcript of credits, but such
students may have subject deficiencies to make up.
Conditional freshman standing may be given to a person who has
completed fourteen acceptable units. The remaining two units should
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 curriculnms, on scholarship probation, by
passing successfully the General Educational Development tests. For
further information concerning admission of veterans, see the section,
"Special Information for Veterans of World War II."
Advanced Standing. A candidate for admission to advanced stand-
ing from another accredited institution of college rank may receive credit
without examination for such work, subject to the following require-
ments:
(a) He must have an official transcript sent from the institution
from which he comes, showing his entrance credits at that institution, his
complete college record including grade of scholarship in each subject
taken, and a statement of honorable dismissal.
(b) He must satisfy the entrance requirements of this college.
26
Southern Missionary College
(c) Credit is regarded as provisional at the time of the applicant's
admission. This work will not be recorded and passed on by transcript
until the applicant has completed satisfactorily in this college, not less
than twelve semester hours. A maximum of seventy-two semester hours,
or one hundred and eight quarter hours, may be accepted from a junior
college.
Admission as an Adult Special Student. Persons twenty-one years
of age or over may be admitted occasionally as special students (not
candidates for a degree or a diploma), on approval of the Dean and of
the instructors in whose course they wish to enroll. Any course taken by an
adult special student carries lower biennium credit, and a maximum of
24 semester hours credit may be earned by such students.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Admission by Transcript
Students may be admitted by transcript (or certificate) of at least
sixteen units from an accredited high school or academy. As the pattern
of prerequisite requirements vary those required for each curriculum are
listed on the following two pages.
Unless an exception is made by action of the Admissions Committee
the students' secondary record must average "C" or above.

a. One unit for each year of attendance in an S. D. A. academy, to a total of
three units. S. D. A. academy graduates must present one unit in Bible
Doctrines.
b. Except for candidates for the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration and of Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Science, Business
English does not apply on the English requirement.
c. Both units are required in one language. 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.
2b Southern Missionary Collegb
d. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in Religion and
candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Theology (Ministerial
Curriculum) have a choice of meeting the entrance requirement in language
in one of three ways. They may (1) elect to present two units in one foreign
language as explained in note "c" above or they may (2) elect to take six-
teen hours of college Greek rather than twelve as required of those who
present two entrance units as indicated under note "c" above, or they may
(3) elect to take twelve hours of Greek and six hours of Hebrew.
e. These units may be selected from the following: algebra I or general mathe-
matics, algebra II, plane geometry, and trigonometry. Commercial or other
applied mathematics does not satisfy this requirement except for candidates
for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
f. Where one unit only is required this must be a laboratory science, such as
biology, physics or chemistry. A second unit requirement may be met by
general science.
g. Sufficient to make a total of sixteen units. Should be chosen to support
curriculum to be followed in college.
h. The social science requirement may be met by presenting two units from the
following: Amerjcan^jiistoxy,-. World History, General History, European
History, Civil Government, Problems of T5emocracy, Economic Geography
and Economics.
i. Algebra and plane geometry.
j. Biology and one unit of either chemistry or physics.
k. Shall include one unit of algebra.
m. Graduation from a secondary school with one unit each of algebra and plane
geometry is recommended; also, as far as possible the requirements for
admission to the arts and science curriculum.
n. One unit of physics is strongly recommended. (See page 58.)
Important Note: The unit pattern given, with graduation from an
accredited secondary school and completion of necessary college courses,
satisfies the requirements for admission to S. D. A. schools of medicine,
dentistry, dietetics, and nursing; but inasmuch as requirements for admission
to other professional schools differ, a student preparing for professional
training should acquaint himself with the secondary and collegiate require-
ments for admission to the particular school he desires to enter, and plan
both his secondary school and college programs to meet these requirements.
Entrance 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. When a college course is taken to remove an entrance de-
ficiency, four hours are counted as the equivalent of one secondary school
unit. These hours apply as elective credit toward graduation, except that
credit in foreign language and Bible applies toward the basic requirements in
these fields. Arrangements for removing all entrance deficiencies should be
made at the time of first registration.
STUDENTS FROM UNACCREDITED SCHOOLS
Unless admitted as a result of G. E. D. tests (see page 25) students
from unaccredited high schools and academies, in addition to the above
General Academic Regulations 29
requirements, must take examinations for college entrance. Entrance ex-
aminations are given in five fields as follows: Foreign Language, History,
English, Mathematics, and Science. The student chooses four from these
five fields. These tests are standardized achievement examinations cover-
ing the subject matter on the secondary level.
Students failing, in one or more fields, to place higher than the
25th percentile are deemed to have failed in that field and will be
required to enroll for another secondary unit in that field in order to
meet college entrance requirements.
REGISTRATION
Orientation and registration for both semesters, of freshmen and
other new students, begins at 8:00 a.m., Thursday, September 15.
Freshmen and others entering this college for the first time take the
placement examinations given by the college at this time.
Registration for both semesters, of returning sophomores and upper
biennium students, is scheduled for September 19 and 20.
Late Registration. A late registration fee of $5.00 is charged to
a student who registers after September 22.
Experience has demonstrated that any student who enters
school late accepts a serious handicap at the outset. This is particularly
true in courses in science, mathematics, and foreign language. There-
fore, students who come more than two weeks late will not be enrolled
for full course work, and may be denied admission to certain courses be-
cause of the difficulty of making up the work. See section regarding
absences, page 32.
The course registration of a student entering after the first two
weeks of a semester will be reduced one hour for each week or fraction
thereof missed, including the first two weeks. No student will be admitted
for the full-course minimum of twelve hours the first semester after
October 24; the second semester, after March 13.
Changes in Registration. A student who desires to change his
course program after he has completed registration, files with the
Registrar a recommendation from his adviser and approved by the Dean.
The Registrar will then issue a change-of -program voucher effective the
date the adviser's recommendation was received by the Registrar's Office.
Although the autumn registration is for both semesters, a student
may alter his course program without cost during the first week of
either semester. Thereafter any change in registration carries a fee of
$2.00.
Change-of-program recommendations for any given semester are
not valid after the beginning of semester examinations.
30 Southern Missionary College
A student who absents himself permanently from class without can-
cellation of registration by drop voucher will be considered as having
failed, and a grade of "F" for the course will be entered on the student's
permanent scholastic record.
Withdrawal. A student withdrawing from school should, before
leaving, clear his scholastic record by filing with the Registrar a with-
drawal permit obtained from the Dean.
Semester Hour. A semester hour represents one fifty-minute lecture
or recitation per week, or the equivalent, through a semester of eighteen
weeks.
Student Study and Work Load. A full-time student in any
semester is defined as one who is registered for a course load of twelve
hours for that semester. If a student is working to defray a portion of his
expenses, his course load will be adjusted accordingly. Since individuals
vary in capacity, care is taken that each student shall have a reasonable
balance in his labor-study load. Students who are below average will
be required to take less work than the following schedule indicates. Those
-with above average ability and scholastic achievement may be permitted
to attempt a slightly heavier program. These schedules are designed to
insure sound scholarship and an essential safeguarding of health:
Labor Hours Class Hours
In exceptional cases a student with super-
ior health, ability and previous scholastic
record may, upon the recommendation of
his adviser and with the approval of the
Dean, register for eighteen hours. See page
121 for further information regarding
student labor.
Except by approval of the Academic Standards Committee no student
may receive more than eighteen semester hours credit during any semester.
Correspondence work in progress is counted in the current load.
Once a student's work-study schedule is arranged, and he has entered
upon his duties, his labor foreman may not require extra services with-
out proper arrangement with the College Dean. Conversely, instructors may
not require exceptional out-of-class assignments or appointments that in-
terfere with his regularly scheduled work program without making proper
arrangements with the College Dean and the work supervisor.
Except by permission of the Administrative Council, the minimum
course load of a student living in one of the residence halls is eight
hours.

Admission of Sophomores to Upper Biennium Courses. A sopho-
more may register for one or more upper biennium courses, for upper bi-
ennium 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 biennium basic requirements.
In exceptional cases, a sophomore may be admitted to an upper
biennium course for lower biennium credit.
A sophomore desiring admission to an upper biennium course makes
application on a blank obtainable from the registrar's office.
Special Hours. On recommendation of his major professor and by
permission of the Academic Standards Committee, a senior may earn an
additional hour in an upper biennium course completed or being carried in
his major field.
Auditing Courses. A student may audit a course only bv permis-
sion of the Dean and the instructor concerned, and should register
as an auditor at the time of registration. No credit is given for a
course audited. The tuition charge is one-half that for credit, and the
course counts at half value in the student load.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students are classified by the Registrar. The classification for which a
student qualifies at the first semester registration usually continues through
both semesters. For reclassification at the beginning of the second
semester, the student shall make written application and shall meet the
first semester requirement for the particular classification sought, plus an
additional twelve hours of "C" average.
The following schedule governs the classification of students entering
the first semester, and new students the second semester:
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 year.
Sophomore. Thirty hours of "C" average, the hours to in-
clude basic requirements completed, and the average to be computed
separately on hours earned in Southern Missionary College.
32 Southern Missionary College
Junior. Sixty-two hours of "C" average, the hours to include
basic requirements completed, and the average computed separately on
the hours earned in Southern Missionary College. Registration for the
junior year shall include any lower division basic requirements not already
fulfilled.
Senior. Ninety-four hours of "C" average (this average separately
on credits from Southern Missionary College) at the beginning of the
first semester, with current registration to satisfy all remaining require-
ments for a degree. (For candidates for a degree in the Ministerial
Curriculum 106 hours are needed for senior standing.)
For membership in the senior class organization the senior year's
work must have been carried satisfactorily to the time of the organization of
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
Regular attendance at all classes is expected of every student. With
the exception of those on the Dean's List, no provision is made for
absences from regular classes.
Absence s totaling during any seme ster more th atuJhe. number of
class terihas per week irdfei ' diur~res"tftl in Jorjeiture of credit in the
cuurse involved. This forf eited"l:redlt"""m"ay be restored entirely or "in
parE if ^s^fKJactp^ explanations of absences have been filed by; *he
student. Persistent recurrence of absences will be considered by "the
Committee on Curriculum and Academic Standards. —
Absences in each course up to and including a maximum equal to
the number of class meetings per week per semester constitute a matter
between the student and the teacher of the course involved. (For example,
for a class meeting three days a week, three absences per semester are
allowed without loss of credit hours.) Penalties for these absences are
handled by the teacher through a lowering of the grade mark.
Special allowances regarding class attendance are granted students
on the Dean's List; they are not subject to cut credit for absences pro-
viding the teacher of the course involved consents, and providing the
student satisfactorily meets the scholastic requirements of the course.
General Academic Regulations 33
Three tardinesses count as one absence. An absence from a class
immediately prior to and immediately after regularly scheduled vacations
counts as a double absence. Students entering a class late in the semester
are regarded as having taken absences during the class periods previously
missed.
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 administrative council 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 office of the College Dean within 48 hours after 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 office of the College Dean.
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; for two-year curriculums,
six.
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.
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).
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
correspondence is dependent on the following-
1. The student must pass the validation examination over the course,
given by the college. The fee is $1.00 for each validation test.
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.
34 Southern Missionary College
4. The correspondence course must have been taken by permission of
the college during a period of resident attendance, or followed by
earning in this college twelve hours with a scholarship average of "C."
EXAMINATIONS
Course Examinations. Examinations are given in all couises 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 pages 28 and 29.
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 Academic Standards Com-
mittee. No hours of credit are given for an exemption examination. The
fee is $2.00.
Special Examinations. Special examinations are given when justi-
fied by circumstances, such as sickness or necessary absence from the cam-
pus.
A re-examination is permitted only upon the vote of the Academic
Standards Committee.
Validation Examinations. See section on correspondence work.
GRADES AND REPORTS
Midsemester and semester reports of the scholastic standing of each
student are issued to the student and his parent or guardian. Semester
grades are kept on permanent record by the college.
The following system of grading is used:
Grade Points
Grade per Semester Hour
A — Superior - 3
B — Above average 2
C — Average 1 '
D — Below average 0.
F— Failure Minus 1 _
General Academic Regulations 35
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-
ported.
I — Incomplete because of illness or other unavoidable
delay; becomes "F" if not removed within a year
after date reported.
W — Withdrew passing
Wf — Withdrew failing Minus 1
Au — Audit ' "
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 Com-
pleted. 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 concerned has not registered.
DEAN'S LIST
This honor list, compiled each semester, is composed of the names
of those juniors and seniors who carried twelve hours or more during
the preceding semester and who for that semester earned a grade of "B"
or above in each course carried.
A student on the dean's list may, at the discretion of the instructor,
be excused from class attendance so long as his standing in each course is
"B" or above.
HONOR ROLL
An honor roll is compiled twice each semester. It contains the name
of each student who for the period covered has carried a minimum of
eight semester hours, has attained a "B" average, and has received no
grade of "I," "E," "F," or "Wf."

MINISTERIAL CURRICULUM (B.A. IN THEOLOGY) )'(
Students applying for admission to the ministerial curriculum should
be only those who believe that God has called them to devote their lives
to Christian service as ministers, missionaries, evangelists or Bible teachers.
Therefore character, health, missionary attitude and scholarship should
justify their admission and insure their continuance as ministerial students.
The curriculum is divided into two parts. The first four semesters
constitute a pre-ministerial section. Successful completion of this section
including the maintenance of a grade point average of 1.0 in all courses
taken in the major (Religion) and the cognate requirement (Applied
Theology). Since no course with a grade of "D" may apply on the
major, any course in the major field with a "D" grade which has been
included in the average for the first two years shall be repeated before
further work in the major is taken, or else replaced by another course.
Any required course shall be repeated before a more advanced course
in the major is taken. At the end of the fourth semester, the Committee
on Ministerial Recommendations will consider applications from those
students who feel called by God to proceed into the upper biennium
ministerial section comprising the last five semesters. This committee will
approve for admission into the upper biennium such students as seem
well adapted for future ministerial service in respect to spiritual ideals,
missionary attitude, health, social relations, etc. An average of 1.0 must
be maintained in the major for the remainder of the curriculum. In
the upper biennium no course with a "D" grade can apply on the major
or the required cognate.
To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Theology from
this curriculum, a candidate must fulfill the following requirements:
1. The general entrance requirements as listed on page 37.
2. The completion of one hundred thirty-seven hours, with a
minimum of forty-eight hours of upper biennium credit. Twenty-
four hours of the senior year's work must be taken in this college.
Course Requirements
Major (Religion) 30 hours
Required: in lower biennium, Religion 19, 20, 61, 62. The selection
of electives must be approved by the chairman of the division. Forty hours
is the maximum number which may be applied on this major.
Note: Students not having had Old and New Testament History in
secondary school will be expected to take Religion 1 and 2. This will not
count toward the major. This requirement may be waived for those who,
on entrance, pass an exemption examination in the field.

(While the student may be quite certain on entrance that he intends
to take the ministerial curriculum, the increasing accuracy in self-
evaluation made possible by college life sometimes causes a change in
his aims and objectives. If specialization is started in the freshman year,
a shift in course usually means a loss in credits. In order, therefore, to
give the student time to find himself in terms of his life-work, the first
year of the pre-ministerial curriculum has been arranged as a. fitting
introduction to any liberal arts course. For this reason, first-year Greek,
formerly offered in the freshman year, is now placed in the sophomore
year. )
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Admission. For admission without deficiency, the entrance units
as listed on pages -S7-arrd-2S_must be presented.
For this curriculum, the requirements as to total hours, senior resi-
dence, minimum upper biennium credit, grade points, and residence credit
and grade-point average on the major and the minor, are the same as for
a Bachelor of Arts degree. For specific information concerning any one
of these, refer to the particular item under "Graduation Standards."

CURRICULUM IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
The four -year curriculum in elementary education is designed to meet
the needs of students desiring a college degree with particular preparation
for teaching in the elementary field. It is recommended to those who are
looking forward to supervisory work in elementary education.
Admission. For admission without deficiency, entrance units as
indicated on pages 27 and 28 must be presented.

Graduation Standards 47
CURRICULUM IN SECONDARY EDUCATION
The four-year curriculum in secondary education is planned to meet
the needs of students desiring a college degree with particular prepara-
tion for teaching in Seventh-day Adventist intermediate schools and
academies; therefore, the student should prepare for certification in
two or more subjects or teaching areas.
To encourage a broad professional training, the college recommends
that each student plan, with the help of his adviser, a program which
will give adequate preparation in at least three fields of teaching. In

PREMEDICINE
Nearly all medical colleges now require a bachelor's degree of all
candidates. Therefore students who expect to transfer later to a medical
college should register as arts and science students selecting suitable majors
and minors which will qualify them for a Bachelor of Arts degree. All
other essentials for entrance to a medical college can be met by selecting
proper electives.
Students planning to transfer to the College of Medical Evangelists,
Loma Linda, California, should select entrance courses as outlined in the
current bulletin issued by that college. Currently these essential courses
include: Semester Hours
General Chemistry 8--^
General Zoology i. 8*-'
Foreign Language 6-18 k ' * k
Organic Chemistry 6 -^
Physics 11-12 8 ^
Freshman Composition 1-2 6 "'

Vertebrate Embryology 113 4-?
Quantitative Analysis 4 --S "
and a minimum of four hours of religion for each year of college work
offered for entrance. L> ■+ 'i- - 1 y 3
The quality of scholarship required for entrance demands that a
grade-point average in science subjects and nonscience subjects, figured
separately, should be not less than 1.5 and a higher grade-point average
is desirable. Students who do not reach this grade-point average will not
be recommended.
JUNIOR COLLEGE CURRICULUMS
Terminal and pre-professional curriculums are offered on the junior
college level. Each curriculum, except prenursing, leads to a diploma; but
since many of the courses in each curriculum are of professional or voca-
* Suggested electives: Principles of Secondary Education, General Psychology,
Educational Psychology, Supervised Teaching, Methods in Commerce, Health
Principles, Piano, Voice.
£
56 Southern Missionary College
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.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Entrance requirements for each curriculum are indicated on pages
27 and 28. The following pattern, with graduation from an accredited
secondary school and completion of the necessary college courses, satisfies
the requirements for admission to many schools of dietetics, dentistry,
and nursing; but inasmuch as requirements 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.
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.
ELEMENTARY TEACHER TRAINING
Admission. See pages 27 and 28.
The first two years of the curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science
in Education, with a major in elementary education, constitute this
curriculum. See pages 44 and 45 for information as to course and certi-
fication requirements.
SECRETARIAL TRAINING
Admission. See pages 27 and 28.
For the outline of this curriculum which leads to a diploma, see the
first two years of the curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Secre-
tarial Science.
PREDENTAL
Class A dental colleges require for admission two years (sixty hours)
of college work, including certain prescribed courses. Students planning
to enter a particular college of dentistry should consult its bulletin, since
admission requirements vary, and frequently credit for art, music, ex-
pression, commerce, education, and vocational courses may not be in-
cluded in the minimum for admission.

PRENURSING
The following units, with high school graduation and completion
of the college prenursing courses, satisfies admission requirements of
many schools of nursing; but inasmuch as requirements for admission
to professional schools differ, a student looking forward to nurses' training
should acquaint herself with the requirements for admission to the par-
ticular school she desires to enter, and plan both the secondary and the
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 school
with a high "C" average:
English 3 Bible (one unit for each year of
Foreign Language (both units must attendance at a Seventh-day Ad-
be in the same language) 2 ventist academy to the extent of
Mathematics (shall include one unit three units ; on e uni ' f ° r hi 8 h
of algebra, and does not include school graduates) ......: 1-3
commercial or other applied math- Science (one unit must be physics) .. 2
ematics) 2 Sufficient electives to make a total
History 1 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 arith-
metic 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. Such
correspondence credit should be earned prior to attendance at Southern
Missionary College.

there is sufficient demand. The college reserves the right to withdraw
temporarily any course for which there is not adequate enrollment.
Course Numbers. Courses numbered from 1 to 99 are lower
biennium courses, taken mainly by freshmen and sophomores; those num-
bered 100 or above are upper biennium courses, open to juniors and
seniors.
A sophomore may register for one or more upper biennium courses,
for upper biennium credit, provided ( 1 ) he has earned, with an average of
"C" or above, fifty hours including basic freshman and sophomore courses
already taken, and (2) his current registration completes the fulfilment
of lower biennium basic and major requirements. In exceptional
cases, a sophomore who does not fulfill the above requirements may be
admitted to an upper biennium course, for lower biennium credit.
A sophomore who desires admission to an upper biennium course
makes application on a blank obtainable in the registrar's office.
Course numbers separated by a hyphen (e.g.1-2) represent year
courses, the semesters to be taken in order given. Credit for the first
semester only will not apply toward graduation from any curriculum.
Course numbers separated by a colon (e.g.ll:12) are year courses, of
which either semester may be taken first, but both semesters must be
taken before the credit may apply toward graduation from any curriculum.
Majors and Minors: Available majors and minors, with require-
ments for each, are listed in their respective sections. Information con-
cerning majors may be found in the section on curriculums.

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 thou-
sand 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
Both Due on Registration Day
Dormitory Non-boarding Community
Advance Deposit $50.00 $35.00 $25.00
Matriculation Fee 12.00 12.00 12.00
Advance Deposits are expected of all students including veterans
whose total charges from the college are not covered by the G. I. Bill 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.
For a married couple, each enrolled for eight hours or more of school
work, the regular advance deposit and matriculation fee will be required
from each. For a combined total of fifteen semester hours or less, the
charge will be the same as for one person.
Students registering for music only are not required to pay any advance
deposit or fees, except as specified under "Music."

8 Semester Hours 88.00 17 Semester Hours 145.00
9 Semester Hours 99.00 18 Semester Hours 149.00
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. Except by permission of the ad-
ministrative council, the minimum course load a residence hall student
may carry is eight hours.
A full-time student in any one semester is defined as one who is
registered for a course load of twelve hours for that semester.
Private work is discouraged, and no credit will be given for it unless
satisfactory arrangements have been made in advance with the College
Dean. The charge for private work is the same as for the 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 com-
puted as of the end of the week in which the drop voucher, recommended
by the student's adviser, is filed at the registrar's office.
Students entering late will be charged tuition from the beginning of
the semester, unless they have been attending school elsewhere 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 of $5.00
is charged a student who registers later than the registration days.

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. In addition to private instruction in voice, classes of from two to
five students are arranged at a cost per student of $18.00 per semester.
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.

These fees are charged on the basis of the student's program as of the
beginning of each semester (allowing one week for program changes without
charge). These fees are not refundable after one week has passed. Unavoidable
cases of program changes may be considered and special refund allowed by the
Dean of the College, but a minimum charge of $1.00 shall remain even in
such cases.
DIPLOMA FEES
The fee for a degree diploma is five dollars; that for a diploma from
any of the two-year curriculums is four dollars.
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
120 Southern Missionary College
full calendar month. The average costs run higher than these figures, total-
ing around $210.00 per year for women and $280.00 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 AND LAUNDRY
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 provided through the room charge includes dis-
pensary service and general nursing care not exceeding two weeks. An
extra charge of ten cents per tray is made each time tray service is re-
quired. There will also be an extra charge for calls by a physician and
special nursing care. Medical services provided to other than dormitory
residents will be charged according to the service rendered.
All prospective students should have their eyes tested by a competent
oculist, and have any necessary dental work cared for before entering
school.
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 two 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.
Expenses 121
These deposit accounts are entirely separate from the regular students'
expense accounts.
Purchases from the college store or from othej 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 as of the last day of each
calendar month, covering the month's expenses and credits.
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 connec-
tion with the school.
Transcripts of credits and diplomas are issued only when students'
accounts are paid in full.
Post dated checks are not acceptable.
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

Tennessee, Southern Publishing Association, 1923.
2 Ellen G. White, Education, p. 217, Mountain View, California, Pacific Press
Publishing Association. 1903.
122 Southern Missionary College
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 recommended 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. Any student who drops
his regularly scheduled work without proper arrangements with his work
superintendent will be suspended from class attendance until he returns
to work or is excused therefrom.
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.
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
$1030.40 worth of subscription books.
Cash earnings (50% of sales shown above) $515.20
Scholarship bonus 220.80
Total cash requirement 736.00
This covers the following items of school expense for students
residing in the dormitory:
Matriculation, two semesters 24.00
Tuition, sixteen hours 282.00
Room, laundry, medical service, etc 150.00
Board, average for men 280.00
$736.00
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.
Expenses 123
Tuition Scholarships. Each year the college, in conjunction 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 following schools are eligible to
participate in this plan:
Asheville Agricultural School
Atlanta Union Academy
Collegedale Academy (2)
Forest Lake Academy (2)
Highland Academy
Madison College Academy
Pewee Valley Academy
Pine Forest Academy
Pisgah Institute
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 $30.00 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 Curriculum, and who
otherwise are not financially able to complete the year's work, upon the following
conditions:
1. Are recommended by the President and the Chairman of the Department
of Education of Southern Missionary College.
2. Are recommended by the Educational Committee of the local conference
and approved by the conference committee.
124 Southern Missionary College
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 or 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 bean 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 rhey 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,
