Purpose of a College Bulletin
The typical college bulletin is not written with
any hope of its becoming a best seller. It is of
necessity "technical" rather than "popular."
But the college bulletin can be — and often is —
very helpful to the student who knows what it is
for and how to use it.
It is a handbook for ready reference on matters
of concern to students in their life on the College
campus.
The principal subdivisions of this bulletin are in-
dicated by the headings which are printed on the
right margin of this page.
General Topical Index, page 149.
The owner of this bulletin should file it for ready
reference and bring it to conferences with the Dean,
the Registrar, the Faculty Counselor, or others as
needed.
Keeping this publication revised, and up to date
and meticulously correct calls for the continuous, ac-
tive cooperation of every college officer and every
college teacher. The student, too, can help by calling
attention to errors, inadequacies, and in-co-ordinations.
It is hoped that all officers, teachers, and students
will help the Administration to make continuous
improvements in successive issues of "our" bulletin.
The signature written below is to identify the
owner. If this bulletin should be misplaced, will
the finder please return it to

OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLEGE
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Southern Missionary College is a four-year co-educational college
of arts and sciences operated by the Seventh-day Adventist denomina-
tion. The general objectives of the college are those of this governing
organization.
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 correct habits of thinking, to develop Christian
character, and to make diligent preparation for a purposeful life of
efficient service to their fellow men.
In harmony with these general objectives, the following specific
objectives have been adopted:
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
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 prin-
ciples of the major fields of knowledge necessary to independent
and creative thinking; to acquire an attitude of open-minded con-
sideration of controversial questions; to achieve a continuing intel-
lectual curiosity; and to acquire the art of effective expression (in
spoken and written English, in foreign languages, and in the
graphic arts).
3. Ethical — To acquire those ethical and moral concepts which are
approved by the enlightened conscience of mankind and taught in
the revealed Word of God; to achieve an attitude of tolerance
toward the rights and opinions of others; and to accept the social
obligation of serving humanity and laboring diligently for its
welfare.
18
Objectives
4. Social — To develop an acquaintance with the approved social prac-
tices of cultured men and women; and to participate heartily and
comfortably in those recreational activities which contribute to the
further development of a well-balanced personality.
5. Aesthetic — To gain an acquaintance with the masterpieces of lit-
erature and the fine arts and an appreciation of the standards and
the types of beauty represented by them; and to learn both to
create and to choose that which is beautiful as well as that which
is useful.
6. Civic — To acquire an intelligent understanding of the principles
of government and to develop a willingness to accept the responsi-
bilities and privileges of citizenship; to recognize the constitution-
al rights of other individuals and social groups; to know the
principal domestic and international issues of our time; to develop
a sincere love for our country and its fundamental principles; and
to learn to co-operate effectively in the continuing improvement of
society, national and international.
7. Health — To gain an intelligent understanding of the principles
which govern the functioning and proper care of the human body;
to establish habits and practices which foster maximum physical
vitality and health; to develop a genuine interest in the intelligent,
many-sided recreational uses of leisure time and, in co-operation
with others, in the improvement of the physical well-being of all.
8. Vocational — To acquire a genuine appreciation of the true dignity
of useful labor; and to master the knowledge and achieve the un-
derstanding necessary to the intelligent choice of a vocation that
is in harmony with individual abilities and aptitudes. Preparation
is provided at Southern Missionary College for the gospel ministry,
for teaching in elementary and secondary schools, for pre-nursing
and pre-medical training, for secretarial and business positions,
and for other vocations.

Industries
WHY INDUSTRIES IN AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION?
The prevailing pattern of the work-study program in Seventh-day
Adventist colleges and academies is based upon the educational phi-
losophy and the counsels of Mrs. Ellen G. White.
Her reasons for recommending that regular work assignments be
given to students are clearly expressed in the following paragraphs :
• "In acquiring an education, many students will gain a most valuable
training if they will become self-sustaining.
• "Instead of incurring debts, or depending on the self-denial of
their parents, let young men and young women depend on them-
selves.
• "They will thus learn the value of money, the value of time,
strength, and opportunities, and will be under far less tempta-
tion to indulge idle and spendthrift habits.
• "The lessons of economy, industry, self-denial, practical business
management, and steadfastness of purpose thus mastered, will prove
a most important part of their equipment for the battle of life.
• "And the lesson of self-help learned by the student will go far
toward preserving institutions of learning from the burden of
debt under which so many of them have struggled, and which has
done so much toward crippling their usefulness."
During the summer and the current academic year, college and
academy students in part-time employment were distributed among
the following industries and service departments:
Accounting Office Laundry
Bakery Library
Broom Shop College Maintenance
Cafeteria and Kitchen Men's Residence Hall
Campus and Gardens Miscellaneous
Collegedale Cabinet Shop Office Workers
College Store and Enterprises College Press
Creamery Registrar's Office
Garage Women's Residence Hall

INTRODUCTION TO SMC
A BRIEF HISTORY
Southern Missionary College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution,
was founded in 1893 as Southern Training School, at Graysville,
Tennessee. Twenty-three years later the school was moved to College-
dale, Tennessee; and there, in 1916, it was reopened as Southern Junior
College. The exigencies of a rapidly expanding student body necessi-
tated the extension, in the spring of 1944, to senior college status,
and the first four-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.
LOCATION
Southern Missionary College is located on a one-thousand-acre
estate in a valley eighteen miles east of Chattanooga. The Southern Rail-
way passes through the institutional estate. The post office address is
Collegedale, Tennessee.
The campus lies three miles from Ooltewah, junction point of the
Atlanta and Knoxville divisions of the Southern Railway. Ooltewah is
also on the Lee Highway No. 11, which connects Washington, D. C.
and other cities in the East with Chattanooga and other southern points.
Busses of the Cherokee Lines pass through Collegedale two times
daily for Chattanooga at 9:20 A.M., and 12:50 P.M. They leave
Chattanooga from the Greyhound Bus Station at 8:15 A.M., 11:45
A.M., and at 5:15 P.M.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
Lynn Wood Hall
The administration building is named in honor of Dr. Lynn Wood,
president of the College from 1918 to 1922. It is a three-story structure,
housing a major number of classrooms, and administrative offices.
The chapel seats approximately 550.

The A. G. Daniells Memorial Library, a beautiful brick building,
was completed in 1945. The student body of S.M.C. is particularly
fortunate in having on the campus this fine modern library containing
more than twenty-six thousand books, and about two hundred current
periodicals conveniently arranged and adequately housed for study, ref-
erence, and research. A portion of the basement floor is used for lecture
rooms. The library is located adjacent to the administration building
and is readily accessible from the residence halls.

Hackman Hall, modern in arrangement and appointment, a com-
modious, two-story, fireproof building, contains various lecture rooms
and laboratories of the division of natural sciences. This building, com-
pleted and dedicated in 1951, was named in honor of the late Earl F.
Hackman, friend of the College and for many years chairman of its
Board.
Harold A. Miller Fine Arts Building
The Harold A. Miller Fine Arts Building, completed in 1953,
houses the Music Department. This two-story, fireproof building
provides studios, practice rooms, and an auditorium for recital purposes.
It was named in honor of Harold A. Miller, Professor Emeritus of
the College.

are also two trailer camps which provide accommodations for trailers.
The Brookside Apartments provide accommodations for eleven families.
Industrial Buildings
Year by year the College has added to its facilities for offering
instruction in the skills fundamental to the trades. These buildings and
equipment have been appointed by the College for educational pur-
poses — for training young people in vocations by means of which they
may become self-supporting workers and missionaries. Equipment has
been provided for the mastery of the principles of printing, dairying,
laundering, woodworking, auto mechanics, poultry raising, farming,
and merchandising. In addition to the farm buildings, and a new mod-
ern maintenance shop, the following are some of the industrial build-

STUDENT LIFE AND SERVICES
STUDENT ORGANIZATION
Southern Missionary College is dedicated to the task of educating
leaders. The activities in class and club, in chapel and in the shops,
in the dormitories and in the library, in the offices and in the Forums,
and the activities off-campus are all designed to serve this one end —
the training of the individual student in the attitudes, skills and
qualities that will make him a leader for God among men.
The extra-class activities program of the College provides well-or-
ganized opportunities for development of student initiative and leader-
ship. In the Student Association, through his elected representative,
each student has a voice in the formulation of policies and in the ad-
ministration of college life and activities. Through participating in the
various student organizations and church activities, the student may
acquire valuable experience in the art of group living and in working
for and with his fellows. The college program of extra-class activities
is under the supervision of the Coordinator of Student Activities. Stu-
dent clubs are chartered by the Student Association.
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
The local church, the Sabbath school, the Missionary Volunteer
Society and its auxiliaries, the Ministerial Seminar, the Colporteur
Club, the mission study groups, and the prayer bands contribute to the
devotional, missionary, and prayer life of the student and afford op-
portunities for training in leadership, teaching, and church endeavors.
PUBLICATIONS
The Student Association publishes the bi-weekly Southern Accent
and the yearbook, Southern Memories. These publications serve to report
campus activities to the student body and patrons. They are prepared,
edited, and published by students under the direction of a faculty
sponsor as a part of their training in journalism.
MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS
There is an opportunity for those musically inclined to participate
in the several music groups such as the college band, the college choir,
trios and quartets both vocal and instrumental, orchestra, instrumental
ensembles, and glee clubs.
26
Student Life and Services
CONVOCATION, THE LYCEUM, ATHLETICS
At various times during the school year distinguished speakers ad-
dress 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.
PARTICIPATION IN EXTRA - CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
In order to insure satisfactory scholarship, the extent to which stu-
dents may participate in extra-curricular activities is subject to regula-
tion.
STUDENT SERVICES
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 a group of personal counselors who devote some hours each week to
individual 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
adjustment, vocational proficiency, and others as the need may require.
The Director of the Testing and Counseling Service, and the college
physician unite in providing a specialized clinical service for those who
desire special counsel in such matters as the choice of a vocation, emo-
tional and social maladjustments, and marital problems.
COLLESEDALE CLINIC
The Collegedale Clinic is located on the campus. Each student, up-
on registering and paying the general fee, is eligible to certain services
from the clinic staff without charge. These services are set forth in a
separate pamphlet provided the student during registration week. The
clinic is under the supervision of a competent physician.
STUDENT SELF-HELP
In the operation of the College, considerable employment is offered
to students. Under the guidance of skilled supervisors, this work af-
fords valuable training, and brings a college education within the
reach of many who otherwise would find it impossible to attend school.
27
Student Life and Services
REMEDIAL PROGRAMS
English Improvement. The College provides a number of special
five-day sections of instruction in English designed for students who
may have some deficiencies in grammar, spelling, reading rate or com-
prehension, which might seriously affect their normal rate of progress
in their college studies. The basic content of their Freshman English is
the same as that which is included in the three-day sections. The extra
two days deal with the personal needs of the individual students en-
abling them to remedy their deficiencies in English.
Reading Clinic. Under the expert care of instructors trained in
teaching reading and through the use of the Harvard Reading Films
and other techniques, students make marked progress in their ability to
read and to understand. This is very vital in connection with college
work.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Broadly speaking Southern Missionary College is a living institu-
tion made up of its alumni, faculty, and students. The Alumni Associ-
ation promotes the interests of the school, fosters a spirit of friendship
among former students, preserves worthy traditions of the College, and
serves mankind through the exemplification and advocacy of the ideals
of their Alma Mater.
The General Association holds an annual meeting on the day fol-
lowing Commencement. Local chapters in various sections of the
country meet several times yearly. The Association publishes the
Alumni News Bulletin, its official publication. It is distributed free
to Alumni and friends of the College.
The Association maintains an office on the college campus which
keeps the records of its regular members, some 2,000 graduates of
Southern Missionary College, or of the institutions which preceded it
(the Graysville Academy, the Southern Training School, the Southern
Junior College). Associate membership in the organization is also
granted individuals who have attended this institution at least one
semester.
THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Connected with the College is Collegedale Academy, a fully ac-
credited secondary school. While this school has a separate organiza-
tion, it uses the facilities of the College. For information write to the
principal of Collegedale Academy, Collegedale, Tenn.

Student Life and Services
THE SUMMER SESSION
The Summer Plan. The Summer Session of ten weeks is di-
vided into two terms — the First Term of six weeks, and the Second
Term of four weeks. Each is a separate unit in itself. The student may
elect to attend either one or both terms.
Class Load. A normal full load is six semester hours for the first
term. In exceptional cases, a maximum of eight hours may be per-
mitted. The maximum load for the second term is three or four se-
mester hours.
The Summer Session announcement of Southern Missionary Col-
lege, containing detailed statements of the several courses offered and
information of general interest to all students, will be sent on applica-
tion to the Director of Admissions.
29
THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
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 of Southern Mis-
sionary College, Collegedale, Tennessee. An applicant who has not
previously attended Southern Missionary College should enclose 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
deposit will appear as a credit on the final statement of the school year
provided the room is left in good order. It will be refunded if the
applicant is not admitted, or if he decides not to enter and so notifies
the College before August 1 of the current year.
The applicant should request the schools previously attended to
send directly to the Secretary of Admissions of this College a complete
official transcript of all his 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 considera-
tion of his application. No portion of the applicant's scholastic record
may be omitted from the transcript submitted for consideration and no
student may be officially registered until his transcripts are on hand.
Transcripts of credit accepted toward admission become the prop-
erty of the College and are kept on permanent file.
Students may be admitted by transcript (or certificate) of at least
fifteen units from an accredited high school or academy. As the pattern
of prerequisite requirements varies, those required for each curriculum
are listed separately. Unless an exception is made by the Admissions
Committee the student's secondary record must average "C" or above.
See "Subject Requirements for Admission" on page 32.
Freshman Standing. Those graduates of accredited four-year sec-
ondary schools whose scholarship record is acceptable are admitted to
freshman standing upon receipt of a properly certified transcript of
fifteen units, but such students may have deficiencies to make up.
Transfer Students. A candidate for admission from another
accredited institution of college rank may receive credit without ex-
aminations for such work, subject to the following requirements:
30
Admission
(a) He must have complete official transcripts from each previous
institution attended. Each transcript should show entrance
credits, a complete college record including scholarship and
credits in each subject taken, and a statement of honorable
dismissal, record of entrance, and physical tests taken.
(b) He must satisfy the entrance requirements of this 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 108 quarter hours, may be accepted from a junior college.
Admission of Veterans on G. E. D. Tests. Admission to full
freshman standing at Southern Missionary College is possible to vet-
erans who, failing to meet the entrance requirements otherwise, can
qualify on the following points: 1. The candidate must have completed
elementary school; 2. The candidate must take the General Education
Development tests at Southern Missionary College or at any other ap-
proved 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. These tests must be taken prior to or
during the first month of attendance at the College. In addition to
these, the applicant must take the American Psychological Examination
and the Co-operative English test. If satisfactory scores are achieved
on this battery of tests, the applicant may be admitted to freshman
standing with the permission of the College Dean.
Students from Other Countries. Southern Missionary College
accepts students from other countries. Experience has demonstrated
that the following three things should be closely observed:
(a) Students from other countries should have a knowledge of
English before coming; otherwise, the student is hopelessly
handicapped.
(b) The Immigration authorities require that a sum of money be
deposited with the school, and kept in trust by them, to
cover the return fare of the student, his final bill, and to be
used as an emergency fund in case of sickness. A thousand
dollars is the amount usually deposited.
(c) The objectives of the student in coming to this country will
be carefully considered. Preference will be given to the person
who desires to improve his training so that he can return and
assist his own people to a better way of life.
31
Admission Requirements
Students from Unaccredited Schools. Unless admitted as a
veteran and as a result of G.E.D. tests, students from unaccredited high
schools and academies, in addition to the above requirements, must take
examinations for college entrance. Entrance examinations are given in
various fields.
Students falling lower than the 30th percentile in one field are
deemed to have failed in that field and will be required to enroll for
an additional secondary unit in that field in order to meet college
entrance requirements.
Admission by Examination. Mature persons (at least twenty-one
years of age) who have not graduated from high school may be
admitted to the College on the basis of scholastic aptitude and achieve-
ment test (G.E.D.) results. By means of these tests, given during the
Freshman Week by the Director of the Testing Service, the candidate
must demonstrate his ability to carry college work successfully.
Admission as an Adult Special Student. A mature person who
does not meet the regular admission requirements may be permitted
to register as a special student and may accumulate lower division credit
to a maximum of twelve hours. To continue further he must regularize
his admission status.
Any person who is qualified to enter college on a regular basis
but who does not desire to work toward the completion of a curriculum
is registered as an unclassified student.
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 ap-
pointed time.

♦Important Note: The unit pattern given, with graduation from an accredited
secondary school and completion of necessary college courses, satisfies the
requirement for admission to Seventh-day Adventist 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.
a. One unit for each year of attendance in a Seventh-day Adventist secondary
school, to a total of three units. Seventh-day Adventist secondary school
graduates must present one unit in Bible Doctrines.
b. 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. One unit of a modern foreign
language may be accepted as an elective unit.
c. A student who has no credit in foreign language may be accepted at S.M.C.
but will be required to take eight more hours of foreign language in college
than will the student with two foreign language credits from secondary
schools.
d. It is highly recommended that prenursing and predental students present two
units of foreign language, although they may be admitted to some nursing
or dental schools without it. The student who presents these two units
thus has the greater freedom, for he may qualify for all schools.
e. May be selected from the following: Algebra I, Algebra II, General Math-
ematics, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, or Trigonometry. Commercial
or Applied Mathematics does not satisfy this requirement. Algebra is re-
quired for a B.S. in Nursing.
f. Algebra and Plane Geometry.
g. One unit must be a laboratory science, such as Physics or Chemistry. A second
unit requirement may be met by General Science or Biology.
Physics is recommended; Biology, Chemistry, and General Science are ac-
cepted. A B.S. in Nursing requires 2 units of Natural Science.
h. For a B. S. in Nursing Physics is recommended; Biology, Chemistry, and
General Science are accepted.
i. The Social Science requirements may be met by presenting two units from
the following: American History, World History, General History, Euro-
pean History, Civil Government, Problems of Democracy, Economic Geog-
raphy, and Economics. One unit must be history.
j. If only one unit of Social Science is required, it should be history. A B.S. in
Nursing requires 2 units in Social Science one of which must be History.
k. Sufficient to make a total of fifteen units. Should be chosen to support the
curriculum to be followed in college.
1. Nursing students are required to present sixteen units of secondary school
credit.
Entrance Deficiencies: A student who has sufficient total acceptable units
33
Registration
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.
REGISTRATION
All students whose applications for admission have been approved
must be on campus for all appointments for Orientation, Testing,
Counseling, and Registration, which will occur between Monday,
September 15, and Wednesday, September 17, from 7:30 A.M. to
5:00 P.M. All freshmen must take the full battery of tests. Transfer
students must take these tests unless former scores appear with their
transcripts. It is recommended that freshmen arrive on campus Sun-
day, September 14.
Late Registration. A late registration fee of $5.00 is charged
for first semester registration after September 19, and for second se-
mester registration after January 30.
Any student who enters school late seriously handicaps himself at
the outset especially in courses in science, mathematics, and foreign
language. Students who register more than two weeks late will not be
enrolled for a full schedule of course work, and may not enter cer-
tain courses because of the difficulty of making up the work. 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, in-
cluding the first two weeks. A student may be admitted to a class after
three weeks only by permission of the instructor and may not be ad-
mitted to the class after four weeks of any semester except by special
permission of the Curriculum and Academic Standards Committee.
Correct Registration. The early completion of the basic courses
affords the student greater opportunity:
1. To avoid difficulties in registration because of conflicts in
schedule;
2. To specialize during the junior and senior years;
3. To choose electives during the junior and senior years;
4. To follow without loss of time sequences of courses involving
prerequisites.
As early as possible the student should plan, in counsel with his
major professor, the sequence of courses for his major so as to complete
curriculum requirements in due time.
Changes in Registration. Changes of registration for sound aca-
34
Dropping Courses
demic reasons may be made during the first week of a semester with
the consent of the instructor concerned, the adviser, and the Registrar.
After that time the permission of the Dean must also be secured. A
change of program voucher becomes effective the date the voucher,
signed by the proper persons, is received by the Registrar's Office.
During the week immediately following the registration days of
each semester, a student may alter his course program without cost.
Thereafter any change in registration carries a fee of $2.00.
Students may not change from one class section to another taught
by a different teacher without the written consent of the Dean. Ordi-
narily this permission is granted only in the event of conflicts in the
class schedule or work program.
DROPPING COURSES OR WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE
If a two-hour course is dropped within the first four weeks of the
first or second semester, (first five weeks if a three-hour course, and
first six weeks if a four-hour course) a "W" (withdrawal) is recorded.
If a course is dropped after the time limit set above, and up to and
including the ninth week of the semester, a grade of "WF" or "WP"
may be given by the instructor depending on the kind of work being
done at the time; but if after the ninth week a course is dropped for
any cause except for cases of unavoidable circumstances approved by
the Academic Standards Committee, an "F" (failure) will be recorded.
STUDENT STUDY AND WORK LOAD
Semester Hour. A semester hour represents one fifty-minute
lecture of recitation per week, or the equivalent, requiring two hours
of outside study and preparation through a semester of eighteen weeks.
A three-hour laboratory period counts for one semester hour of credit.
A full-time student, except for Korean veterans, 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 ex-
penses, 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.

Classification of Students
In some cases a student, with superior health and ability may, upon
the recommendation of his adviser and with the approval of the Dean,
register for 18 semester hours if he has a grade point average of 1.5.
Except by approval of the Curriculum and Academic Standards
Committee, no student may receive more than eighteen semester hours
credit during any semester. Correspondence work in progress and in-
completes are counted in the current load.
Once a students work-study schedule is arranged, and he has en-
tered upon his duties, his labor foreman may not require extra service
without proper arrangement with the Dean.
Conversely, instructors may not require exceptional out-of-class as-
signments or appointments that interfere with the regular scheduled
work program of the student without making proper arrangements
with the Dean.
Except by permission of the President's Council, the minimum course
load of a student living in one of the residence halls is eight hours.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students are classified by the Dean. The classification for which a
student qualifies at the first semester registration ordinarily continues
through both semesters. A student who desires reclassification at the
beginning of the second semester shall make written application to the
Dean and must meet the full requirements for the particular classifica-
tion sought except that (1) officers of classes may not be reclassified
and (2) seniors must remain in the junior class unless they are candi-
dates for graduation in May or August of the current year. Candidates
for graduation who did not join the junior class will be required to pay
to the senior class an amount equivalent to the junior class fee.
The following schedule governs the classification of students enter-
ing the first semester and new students the second semester:
Freshmen. Completion of a four-year high school course, except
that freshmen may be admitted conditionally on the completion of
fourteen acceptable units, and on condition that the remaining one
unit is taken during the first year on the college campus.
Sophomores. Twenty-four semester hours of earned credit.
Juniors. Fifty-six semester hours with "C" average, the hours to in-
clude basic requirements completed, and the average computed sepa-
rately on hours earned in Southern Missionary College. Registration for
36
Classification of Students
the junior year shall include any lower biennium basic requirements not
already fulfilled or any deficiencies.
Seniors 1st Semester 2nd Semester
For full standing 91 semester hours 128 semester hours
For summer session 82 semester hours 99 semester hours
The semester hours prescribed above must be of "C" average or
in the case of Theology and Teacher Education 1.25. For full standing
current registration must satisfy all remaining requirements for a
degree.
If a course is taken by correspondence during the senior year, the
transcript of credit must be on file in the Registrar's Office four weeks
before graduation. Incompletes must be removed by the middle of
the last term.
Special. A person at least twenty-one years of age who does not
meet the minimum entrance requirements. For further information, see
"Adult Special" under "Admission."
Admission of Sophomores to Upper Biennium Courses. A
sophomore may register for one or more upper biennium courses, for
upper biennium 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 ad-
mission to an upper biennium course makes application to the Aca-
demic Standards Committee.
Additional Hours. On approval of the division chairman and of
the instructor concerned, and of the Dean, a junior or a senior may earn
an additional hour of credit in connection with an upper biennium
course completed or being carried, provided he has completed or is
currently completing without special registration, not less than fifteen
hours in the department concerned.
Auditing Courses. By permission of the Dean, and the instructor
concerned, a student may audit only a lecture course which does not
consist entirely or in part of laboratory. He 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. A student may not repeat a course for credit
after he has audited the course.
37
Attendance at Appointments
ATTENDANCE AT CLASS APPOINTMENTS
No class absences are allowed except for illness, authorized school
trips, or emergency; hence the student may incur a reduction in grade
for any unexcused absence. Excusable absences are those occasioned
by illness, authorized school trips, or emergency, and when so recog-
nized by the Dean of the college the student may be permitted to make
up the work lost. Such requests must be presented to the Dean within
48 hours after the student resumes attendance, and the work must be
made up within a week after the absence.
Teachers will send a report to the Dean's office when the number of
absences in a course equals the number of class appointments for one
week. If the total number of absences in any semester exceeds the
number of class appointments in a two weeks' period the teacher will
consult with the Dean as to whether the student will be allowed to
continue the class or get a grade of FA. Cases of such students may
be reviewed by the Academic Policies Committee upon petition of
the student.
The school nurse or the deans of the school homes will turn in lists
of ill students to the Dean's office each day before noon.
Absences immediately preceding or following a vacation period,
announced picnic, field day, or from the first appointment of the second
semester, by a student in attendance the first semester, carry penalties.
The penalty for missing each class period shall be equivalent to the
penalty for missing two regular class periods.
Tardiness. Students who are late for class must report such fact to
the instructor before leaving the classroom; otherwise the tardiness
will count as an absence. At the discretion of the teacher, three reported
tardinesses may be counted as one absence; also students who leave
class without permission are counted absent.
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
In principle the chapel absence policy is the same as for class ab-
sence in that no absences are allowed except for illness, authorized
school trips, or emergency. If the number of unexcused absences in
any one semester exceeds the number of chapel periods in one week,
the student will be asked to reregister at a cash fee of $5.00. Addi-
tional unexcused absences will subject the student to disciplinary
action by the Government Committee of the faculty.
38
Automobiles
A student leaving chapel after the record has been taken will be
counted absent. If a student is tardy three times, it will be counted as
one absence.
WORSHIP ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance at morning and evening worship is required
of all students living in the Residence Halls. The regulations for
absences from worship are the same as those above for chapel attend-
ance, except that a student is allowed five absences per month from
morning or evening worship. The residence deans are responsible for
issuing the notices for each absence beyond that number.
THE USE OF AUTOMOBILES BY RESIDENCE-HALL STUDENTS
Recogni2ing that the use of an automobile frequently militates
against a satisfactory school program, the College has adopted and
enforces a policy which permits only residence-hall students who are
lower biennium students twenty-one years of age, or more, and those
of a junior or senior status, to possess or operate an automobile on the
campus, providing the automobile is properly insured, and that the
student meets the following requirements:
1. His scholastic grade point average must not be lower than 1.25 for
the preceding semester or nine-week period.
2. His conduct must have demonstrated him to be fully in harmony
with the standards and regulations of the institution.
3. His budget as prepared by the Assistant Business Manager must
show that he can meet his financial obligations to the College as
well as operate an automobile.
4. Within 48 hours of his arrival on the campus he will make formal
application to the Dean of Men for a driving permit, and agree to
abide by the campus automobile regulations. Copies of these applica-
tion blanks will be furnished by the residence hall dean upon re-
quest.
5. All automobiles not eligible for a permit as provided by the above
requirements shall be returned home promptly or a $10 per semester
cash storage fee will be payable in advance.
All permits are void at the end of the school year (May 31) and
may be renewed after June 1 for the academic year,
39
Citizenship-Governing Standards
GOVERNING STANDARDS
General. 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 main-
tain 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
industrial record, or who, in the judgment of the President's 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 refrain from indecent or disor-
derly behavior, from profane or unbecoming language, from the use of
tobacco and alcohol, from reading pernicious literature, from playing
cards, from visiting pool rooms, bowling alleys or gambling places,
from attending the theater, dances, or any other entertainment not
approved by the President's Council.
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. No student may receive permission to marry during
the school year. Secret marriages are not approved and are considered
sufficient reason for severing a student's connection with the College.
Residence. All unmarried students who do not live with their
parents, 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 President's Council.
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. It is also available upon request.
Announced Regulations. Any regulation adopted by the faculty
and announced to the students will have the same force as if printed in
the catalog or in the handbook, S.M.C, and You.
CORRESPONDENCE AND EXTENSION WORK
Southern Missionary College offers no extra-mural instruction;
therefore, 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 a two-year
curriculum, eight hours.
40
Correspondence Work
Students may not take correspondence work in the upper bien-
nium on their major or minor. Exceptions to this are granted only
on approval of the Curriculum and Academic Standards Committee.
A student may not repeat by correspondence a course in which he
has received an F.
In no case may more than eighteen hours of residence work and
correspondence work be carried in a semester. To count as accepted
credit, correspondence work must carry a grade of "C" or above, and
must apply on the curriculum in which the student is enrolled.
No credit will be accepted from a correspondence school that is
taken while the student is enrolled in Southern Missionary College,
unless that course is not being offered by the College or approval se-
cured by the Dean of the College. Courses taken during the summer
vacation must be approved in advance by the Dean or they will not
be accepted for credit.
Credit for work taken with any standard correspondence school
is granted as follows: (1) A grade of "D" on any correspondence
work may not be recorded, (2) a grade of "C" is accepted without
examination provided it is not to be applied on a major, and (3) a
grade of "C" with validation examination, or of "B" or above without
examination, is accepted on a major.
No correspondence credit will be entered on a student's record
until he has earned twelve semester hours in residence with a scho-
lastic average of "C". Correspondence credit will not be entered after
six months from the close of the last semester in residence.
EXAMINATIONS
Course Examinations. Examinations are given in all courses at
mid-semester and the last week of each semester. Students are required
to take examinations at the time scheduled, unless prevented by illness
or other unavoidable circumstances.
For admission by examinations see page 32.
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) pro-
vided he passes with a grade of at least "C" a comprehensive exami-
nation covering the particular course. The examination for exemption
shall be authorized by the Curriculum and Academic Standards Com-
mittee. No hours of credit are given for an exemption examination.
The fee is $2.00.
41
Grades and Reports
Special Examinations. Special examinations are given when justi-
fied by circumstances, such as sickness or necessary absence from the
campus. The fee is $2.00. The student must pay this fee at the Account-
ing Office and present the receipt to the teacher before being allowed
to take the examination. In cases where this works an undue hardship
on the student an appeal may be made to the Curriculum and Academic
Standards Committee for rebate of fee. Such examinations must be
made up within three weeks from the time the student returns to classes.
A re-examination is permitted only by consent of the Curriculum and
Academic Standards Committee.
GRADES AND REPORTS
Mid-semester 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 ? oin £
° ■> ° ° per Semester Hour
A — Superior 3
B — Above average 2
C — Average 1
D — Below average
F — Failure Minus 1
If a student is found cheating his entire grade to that point becomes F.
E — Warning for "below passing" scholarship. This grade may be giv-
en only at the nine weeks period.
I — Incompletes because of illness or other unavoidable delay. An in-
complete received during the first semester must be removed by the
end of the second semester or it becomes an F; incompletes re-
ceived during the second semester or summer session must be re-
moved before the end of the first semester of the following school
year.
A teacher may not give an incomplete grade without authoriza-
tion from the Dean. A student who believes he is eligible for an in-
complete must secure from the Registrar's Office the proper form
on which he may file application with the Dean to receive an in-
complete.
Wp — Withdrew passing (See page 35)
Wf — Withdrew failing Minus 1
Au — Audit
S — Satisfactory (for music organizations only)
U — Unsatisfactory (for music organizations only)
42
Graduation Standards
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 ad-
vanced course in the same field has been taken. No grades will be
recorded for a course for which the individual concerned has not reg-
istered. After a semester grade has been recorded no change in credit
for the course may be made.
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."
GRADUATION STANDARDS
General Requirements
A student may qualify for graduation by fulfilling all curriculum
requirements for the degree or diploma sought and by meeting the
standards of the College as to character. A student who discontinues his
attendance at Southern Missionary College for a period as long as two
consecutive calendar years shall meet the requirements for graduation
as set forth in one of the catalogs current after his re-entrance. Special
consideration will be given to students who have been forced to dis-
continue attendance because of being drafted by the Selective Service
System.
A student who has received one bachelor's degree may receive a
second bachelor's degree provided that all requirements for both de-
grees are fully met, and provided also that the curriculum offered for
the second degree includes at least thirty semester hours earned in an
additional year of residence and not counted for the first degree.
The responsibility for meeting graduation requirements rests pri-
marily with the student. He should acquaint himself with the published
requirements and plan his course so as to fulfill them, for he is eligible
for graduation only when the records in the Registrar's Office show he
has met all the requirements listed in the college catalog.
Graduate Record Examinations
During recent years an increasing number of graduate and profes-
sional schools and employers have been requiring applicants for em-
ployment or admission to file, together with other credentials, their
scores in the Graduate Record Examinations. To make these scores avail-
able to graduates as well as to provide a national standard norm by
43
Graduation
which to evaluate the teaching and learning processes at Southern
Missionary College, these tests are now required to be taken by every
candidate for a baccalaureate degree during the final semester of his
senior year. The College administers the tests each year on the Institution-
al Testing Program whereby the entire senior class writes on the tests
on the same day.
Candidacy for Graduation
To be graduated, a student must have completed all requirements
for graduation. A student may become a candidate for graduation
when he enters upon the semester during which it will be possible for
him to complete all the requirements for his graduation. Candidates
for graduation at the close of the ensuing summer session will par-
ticipate in the summer graduation exercise.
Formal application for graduation should be made at the Registrar's
Office during the first semester of the senior year. All resident candi-
dates for graduation must be members of the senior class. Seniors who
did not participate in the junior class of the previous year are assessed
an amount equal to the junior class dues.
Graduation with Honors
A candidate for graduation with a grade point average of 2.5 or
above, and whose record shows no grade lower than a "C," may be
considered for graduation with honors. The Academic Policies Com-
mittee recommends the candidate to the faculty for approval of this
honor. Transfer students must have earned 36 hours in residence to
qualify for graduation with honors.
Graduation in Absentia
Each candidate for graduation must be present to receive his diploma
unless granted written permission by the President of the College to be
graduated in absentia. Written application should be made early in the
second semester of the senior year and permission will be granted only
in cases of evident necessity. A ten-dollar fee is assessed on all those
graduating in absentia.

Divisions of Instruction
CREDIT HOURS
One credit hour represents one fifty-minute recitation or lecture
period per week throughout the semester of eighteen weeks. Each class
period presupposes an average of two hours of preparation. One labora-
tory period of approximately three hours is considered equal in value
to one lecture or recitation period.
ALTERNATING COURSES
Of the courses listed, those marked with an asterisk probably will
not be given in 1958-59; those without this mark will be given if 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 1 to 49 are lower biennium courses taken mainly
by freshmen, and 50 to 99 mainly by sophomores; those numbered 100
to 149 are upper biennium courses open primarily to juniors, and
150 to 199 open primarily to seniors.
Course numbers that stand alone (e.g. 56) represent courses of one
semester which are units in and of themselves.
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 comma (e.g. 41, 42) represent
units in and of themselves either one of which may be counted for
graduation without reference to sequence.
Course numbers separated by a colon (e.g. 11:12) are year courses
in which the first course is a prerequisite to the second; however, credit
may be given for the first semester when taken alone.
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
fulfillment of lower biennium basic and major requirements. In ex-
ceptional cases, a sophomore who does not fulfill the above require-
ments may be admitted to an upper biennium course for lower bien-
nium credit. Application for permission to do this is made in the
Registrar's Office.
DEGREES OFFERED
The College offers three degrees, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Music Education, and Bachelor of Science. These degrees differ only

training that is practical in that it prepares the individual to work
efficiently and effectively in some particular area. The student is
awarded a diploma upon the successful completion of one of the
following curriculums:
t A minor in Religion requires six hours in addition to the basic require-
ments. Four hours in Applied Theology may count on this major,
tt There is a Business Administration major for Publishing Leaders, and
one leading to the Certified Public Accountant Examinations,
ttt Six hours in Applied Theology may count on a major in Religion for

TEACHER CERTIFICATION
Prospective secondary teachers should use their electives in such
a way as to certify in three areas of instruction as listed below.
Effective September 1, 1953 the State of Tennessee discontinued
issuing permanent teaching certificates. From that time onward pro-
visional, five-year certificates are being granted on the basis of an
earned bachelor's degree that incorporates certain prescribed courses
in general and professional preparation. The teacher education pro-
gram described below fulfills these requirements.
Certification for Grades 1-9
A student completing the four-year curriculum is eligible to receive
a five-year elementary certificate from the Southern Union Conference,
and a five-year Tennessee Teachers Provisional Certificate.
Certification for Grades 7-12
Students who wish to qualify for teaching in grades 7-12 are advised
to follow the Teacher Training curriculum outlined below. This cur-
riculum leads to endorsement in the Seventh-day Adveritists denomina-
tion as well as in the State of Tennessee. Inasmuch as most states in
the South follow a program of reciprocity in teacbrr endorsement, this
curriculum is the most advantageous for all to follow.
Those who desire to receive Denominational Certification only, may
qualify for the five-year Secondary Certificate by completing the follow-
ing minimum requirements in professional education along with the
bachelor's degree.

NATURAL SCIENCES - MATHEMATICS
John Christensen, Chairman, H. H. Kuhlman,
Clarence E. Chinn, Ray Hefferlin, E. O. Grundset
The Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is organized
for the purpose of giving training in the fundamental sciences of Bi-
ology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Many of the courses of-
fered in these departments are basic for professional training in medi-
cine, dentistry, optometry, nursing, other medical-related professions,
and professional engineering. These must be taken before entrance into
the training for a chosen profession.
Training for professional careers in Biology, Chemistry, and Phys-
ics may be had by taking majors in these fields. Minors in related fields
are taken which contribute to the broader background of the student.
The foundation and survey courses are designed to give the general
student an appreciation and understanding of the impact of the scien-
tific discoveries, and the scientific method of thinking upon our mod-
ern civilization.
Relative to spiritual values the following quotation reflects the
philosophy of the division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics:
"All true science is but an interpretation of the handwriting of God
in the material world. Science brings from her research only fresh evi-
dences of the wisdom and power of God. Rightly understood, both the
book of nature and the written word make us acquainted with God by
teaching us something of the wise and beneficent laws through which
He works." Ellen G. White, "Patriarchs and Prophets, page 599.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
EXPENSES
Having met the full financial and labor requirements the student
has actually covered only 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 thousand dol-
lars for each rt ndent enrolled.
BASIC COSTS
RENT IN RESIDENCE HALLS
A room charge of $19.00 per calendar month is made to each stu-
dent residing in a school home. The rate for rooms with adjoining
bath is $21.00 for each student. On this basis two students occupy
one room. Where three students occupy one room, the monthly charge
per student is reduced by $2.00. No refund is made because of absence
from the campus either for regular vacation periods or for other rea-
sons.
MARRIED STUDENTS' HOUSING
The College provides approximately thirty-five apartments for mar-
ried students. These range in size from two room to four rooms and are
unfurnished. Rents range from $26.00 per month to $45.00 per month.
Prospective students are invited to write to the Assistant Business Man-
ager for details. A reservation deposit of $10.00 is charged. This is re-
funded on the student's final statement of the school year pending
satisfactory clearance of housing.
There are fifty or more privately owned apartments in the Col-
legedale community. These also are available to students. Information
may be supplied by the Assistant Business Manager upon request.
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 $20.00
for women and $24.00 for men. This covers a full calendar month.
Board charges for students vary greatly. The average monthly charge
of the past school year was approximately $40.00 for men and $30.00
for women. However, individual charges varied from $17.90 to $68.10
for men and from $15.20 to $49.10 for women.
No reduction of the minimum charge is made for absence from the
campus except for specified vacations of one week or more, and in
137
Basic Costs
cases of emergency. Three meals a day are served. Students living in
the residence halls are expected to take their meals in the dining room.
ADVANCE DEPOSIT AND MATRICULATION FEE
An advance payment is required of all students including veterans
and those expecting colporteur or teaching scholarships on or before
the date of registration. Included in this advance payment is a deposit
which is refunded at the close of the school year or upon withdrawal
from school. The refundable deposit is $50.00 less than the advance
payment required.
The amount of this advance payment is determined as follows:
A. Those being charged housing, tuition, and board $150.00
B. Those being charged any two of the three above 125.00
C. Those being charged any one of the three above 100.00
For a married couple, each enrolled for eight hours or more of
school work, the regular advance deposit will be required from each.
For a combined total 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 general fee, but there is a $2.00 registration fee
for all such music students. However, a rental will be levied for use
of piano or organ.
CHEMISTRY LABORATORY DEPOSIT
All students registered for a chemistry course will be charged a
$5.00 deposit before they will be assigned to a chemistry locker. This
deposit will be refunded to the student at the close of the course or
upon dropping the course, provided the student cleans his locker and
equipment in a manner prescribed by the Chemistry Department. Any
breakage, however, will be deducted from the advance deposit.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Association of Southern Missionary College publishes
the school paper, The Southern Accent, and the annual, The Southern
Memories. The Student Association also has other financial obligations
such as the payment of major offices, school projects, etc. To cover
the costs of these various endeavors a fee of $12.00 per student per
year is required. This fee, appearing on the first statement, is included
in the advance payment and is not refundable.
In the case of married students both attending school only one
student association fee is charged per family. However, a $1.00 charge
will be made for the extra photo required for the annual.

Tuition charges are made in four equal installments for each semes-
ter, 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 President's
Council, the minimum course load a student may carry is eight hours.
The General Fee, which is included in the advance payment
will appear on the first statement issued. It includes charges for
lyceum programs, library fee, laboratory fees, charges for musical
organizations, graduation expense, matriculation expense, all musical
rentals (piano, organ, instruments), and medical and psychological
services as set forth in a separate pamphlet provided students upon
registration.
A 50 per cent refund on General Fee will be credited to any student
139

withdrawing on or before the completion of the first nine weeks. No
refund will be granted thereafter.
For those entering the second semester, the General Fee shall be
70 per cent of the yearly charge. A 25 per cent refund will be given
to those entering second semester but withdrawing during the first five
weeks of the second semester.
ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES ON THE ORLANDO CAMPUS
OF THE DIVISION OF NURSING
The Division of Nursing offers part of its program on the Col-
legedale campus and part on the Orlando campus located at the
Florida Sanitarium and Hospital. Charges for tuition and other
expenses on the Collegedale campus follow the same schedule as
for any college work. The expenses on the Orlando campus are here
explained :
Tuition: Tuition charges while on the Orlando campus are based
on the semester hours of credit at the same rate as on the Collegedale
campus.
The General Fee ($57 per year) includes charges for library fees,
laboratory fees, matriculation expense, health fee, activity fee. Blue
Cross Hospitalization Plan and Blue Shield is in addition to this fee.
The health fee covers the annual physical examination including
routine lab and x-ray, booster shots for immunizations as required by
the schools, x-rays for affiliations. Other medical care and cost of
drugs will be at the student's personal expense.
Room Rent: The rate for rooms with adjoining bath is $19 per
month for each student. Private rooms and bath may be available at
a higher rate per month.
Board Charges: Meals are served in the Hospital Cafeteria. The
average monthly cost is approximately $30 per student. The minimum
charge is $20.
Incidentals: Personal items such as books, clothing, and spending
money vary with individuals and is not estimated here.
Uniforms and Cape: Approximately $50 will be needed for uni-
forms and $25 for cape if cape is desired. The uniform will be pur-
chased the first semester of the sophomore year while the student is
on the Collegedale campus. Fifty dollars will be requested at the
time the uniforms are ordered.

by students on the Collegedale campus.
Payment of Accounts: The policy for payment of the account is the
same on the Orlando campus as it is on the Collegedale campus.
MUSIC TUITION
The charge for any private music instruction is $36.00 per semester,
or $72.00 for the year, for a minimum of 15 lessons per semester. This
charge is made in eight installments of $9.00 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 $22.00
per semester. All persons who wish to take music must enroll for it at
the Registrar's Office even if they are not taking it for credit or if music
is all they are taking. There is a $2.00 registration fee for those who
are taking music only.
Students who enroll late, or who withdraw before the end of the
semester, are charged at the rate of $2.40 per week up to a maximum of
$36.00 for one lesson a week. Withdrawal is made by means of a drop
voucher obtained at the Registrar's Office. There are no refunds for
specified vacation periods or lessons missed because of the student's
absence.
ROOM OR HOUSING DEPOSIT
Dormitory rooms may be reserved by mailing a $5.00 room deposit
to the Secretary of Admissions at the College. The deposit for married
students housing is $10.00. This deposit will appear to the credit of the
student at the time of his departure provided the accommodation is
left in good order.
Since the deposit serves not only as a reservation fee but also as a
guarantee that the accommodation will be left in good order, all stu-
dents registered and living in college housing will be charged this
deposit.
In case the student's application is not accepted; or if notice of
nonattendance is given the College three weeks before the opening of
the term, the deposit will be refunded.
LATE REGISTRATION
For late registration $5.00
See page 34 for statement of the exact day and hour when each student is
expected to present himself for testing and/or registration.

Payment of Accounts
LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANING SERVICE
The College operates a modern laundry and dry cleaning plant.
Students are invited to patronize this service. Charges for service ren-
dered will be entered on the student's account to be settled monthly.
There is a minimum charge for dormitory students of $2.00 a month
for women and $3.00 a month for men.
TITHE AND CHURCH EXPENSE
Southern Missionary College encourages the payment of tithe and
church expense by its student workers. In order to facilitate this prac-
tice, arrangements may be made for each student to have charged to
his account 10 per cent of his school earnings for tithe, and 2 per
cent for church expense. These funds are then transferred by the Col-
lege to the treasurer of the Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church.
FUND FOR PERSONAL EXPENSES — PLEASE NOTE
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
student's expense accounts.
Each student should bring $20 to $30 for books and supplies at the
beginning of each semester. Books and supplies are sold at the College
Store.
PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Statements will be issued to students as of the last day of each calen-
dar month, covering the month's expenses and credits. This billing is
subject to discount when paid by the 20th of the following month.
Should a student's account be unpaid by the 10th of the succeeding
month, he may not expect to continue in class until satisfactory arrange-
ments are made. The College is unable to carry student accounts for
any length of time. Arrangements should be made for some other plan
of financing.
143
Student Labor Regulations
EXAMPLE OF CREDIT POLICY
Period covered by statement October 1-31
Approximate date of billing November 5
Discount period ends November 20
Class attendance jeopardized if still unpaid December 10
This schedule of payment must be maintained since the budget is
based upon the 100 per cent collection of student charges within the
thirty-day period following date of billing.
Transcripts of credits and diplomas are issued only when students'
accounts are paid in full.
STUDENT LABOR REGULATIONS
Believing in the inspired words that "systematic labor should con-
stitute 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 student enrolled.
Inasmuch as the student's labor constitutes a part of his education,
participation in the work program is graded, and a report thereon is
issued to him. This grade is based upon the following:
Quality of work Leadership and Initiative
Quantity of work Punctuality
Safety habits Dependability
Cooperation Efficiency
Compatability
A record of vocational experience and efficiency is also kept, by
semesters, 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
available to 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.

nessee: Southern Publishing Association, 1923), p. 44.
2. Ibid.
144
Scholarships
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 de-
sires to terminate his regularly scheduled work program or transfer
to another work department may be required to give two weeks' advance
notice to his work superintendent. Failure to comply with this regula-
tion will constitute grounds for suspension from class attendance until
he returns to work or is excused therefrom.
Student employees should regard the work appointment with equal
importance to the class schedule. It is expected that a student must
continue the work schedule to the end of the term in spite of semester
and final exams. Preparation for tests is a day by day matter. Absenting
one's self from work is considered as equally out of order as cutting
class and is handled by appropriate discipline.
During the first two weeks of school, it is not always possible to
get everyone into a work program, but by the end of September, usually
every one has a job. This means that it may be necessary to work an
extra hour a week to make up for the time lost in September before
it was possible to get everyone placed in a work activity.
BIRTH CERTIFICATE
All students who expect to work and are under twenty years of age
must present a Birth Certificate upon registration. This certificate must
be left on file in the Assistant Business Manager's office. No student will
be permitted to work until the Birth Certificate is on file at the College.
This is imperative under the laws of the State of Tennessee.
WORK PERMIT
Whenever a student seventeen years of age or under is registered,
the college issues a Tennessee Employment Certificate. This must be
signed and on file at the College before a student may start work.
SCHOLARSHIPS
COLPORTEUR SCHOLARSHIP
That students might have adequate work opportunities of a profit-
able nature (both financially and spiritually) during the summer
months, the College, together with the Southern Publishing Association
and the several local conferences and Bible Houses throughout the
Southern Union, have banded together to offer a bonus to students sell-
ing denominational books or magazines.
Students may make arrangements with one of the several Bible
145
Scholarships
Houses to sell books or magazines in a designated territory. The com-
mission to students, as well as to full-time colporteurs, is 50 per cent of
the total dollar volume of literature sold. In addition to this commis-
sion the organization indicated above will pay to the student colporteur
a liberal bonus.
The operation of this plan might well be pictured as follows:
Total books delivered " $1,400.00
Cost of books delivered 700.00
Commission earned on sales 700.00
Colporteur bonus 300.00
Total funds deposited at Southern Missionary College
for educational expenses of the student colporteur. $1000.00
It is evident from these illustrative figures that the bonus paid is
very liberal. It amounts to 43 1/7 per cent of the regular commissions
($700) or 30 per cent of the total amount ($1,000) deposited to the
student's credit at the College by the contributing organizations. In
actual practice the bonus is computed in this way:
Divide sum turned over to Bible House by student colporteur
by .70 ($700 divided by .70 equals $1,000) and the quotient
equals the amount deposited to the student's credit at the Col-
lege. Subtract from this total the commissions ($700) which
the student remitted to the Bible House ($1,000 — $700 equals
$300) and you have the amount of the bonus.
There are various other regulations that pertain, such as:
i. A student must spend a minimum of 350 (300 for women)
hours in the colporteur work during the summer in order to
qualify.
2. The colporteur bonus will be granted only to such student
colporteurs as actually use both commissions and bonus for edu-
cational expenses at Southern Missionary College.
(Note) These provisions and others are explained in detail in a separate
pamphlet which is available on request at the College or at any of the
Bible Houses.
TUITION SCHOLARSHIP
Each year the College, in conjunction with the several local con-
ferences of the Southern Union Conference, awards eleven $50 cash
scholarships to be applied on tuition: $25 at the end of the first se-
mester and $25 at the end of the second. The following schools are
eligible to participate in this plan:
146
Educational Fund
Asheville Agricultural School Madison College Academy
Collegedale Academy (2) Little Creek Academy
Forest Lake Academy (2) Pine Forest Academy
Highland Academy Mt. Pisgah Academy
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 confer-
ence, for final approval. The selection of nominees is based on charac-
ter, scholarship, personality, and promise of future leadership.
SCHOLARSHIPS IN TEACHER EDUCATION
In order to help young people of good moral character who possess
talents and interest in the field of elementary school teaching, scholar-
ships amounting to $200 each are available through the beneficience of
the Southern Union and local conferences of Seventh-day Adventists.
Southern Missionary College will provide opportunity for students on
these scholarships to work $300 of their remaining school expenses.
For further details write to the Educational Secretary of the local con-
ference where you reside in the Southern Union. If you reside outside
the Southern Union, write to the Union Secretary of Education, Box
849, Decatur, Georgia.
SCHOLARSHIPS IN NURSING
Student Loan Fund: A student loan fund has been established
to aid a limited number of qualified students. Applications for the
loan should be sent to the chairman of the Division of Nursing.
Southern Union Nursing Scholarship: This fund provides $150
for the freshman year and $300 for the sophomore year. This amount
will be advanced by the Southern Union Conference and will be paid
directly to SMC. The student receiving this financial aid will agree
to enter nursing service at the F.S.H. after graduation. For each
month of service rendered at regular graduate nurses' rates, the finan-
cial obligation will be amortized at the rate of $25 per month. Students
who are interested should write to the Chairman of Division of
Nursing for application.
EDUCATIONAL FUND
Many young people are deprived of the privilege of attending col-
lege because of a lack of necessary means. To aid these, an earnest ef-
fort has been made to obtain donations for the establishment of an
education 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
147
Educational Fund
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;
consequently it has been impossible in many instances to render the
needed 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 Her-
ald 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 costs little will be appreciated little. But that which costs
a price somewhere near its real value will be estimated accordingly." —
