Volume IV The "S.M.C" Third Quarter, 1954 No. 3
Richard Hammill, Editor
Published quarterly by Southern Missionary College, College-
dale, Tennessee. Entered as second class matter February 12, 1951,
at Collegedale, Tennessee, under act of Congress August 24, 1912.
WHAT IS A COLLEGE CATALOG FOR?
Well, the typical college catalog is not written
with any hope of its becoming a best seller. It is
of necessity "technical" rather than "popular/'
But the college catalog can be— and often is—
\ery helpful to the student who knows what it is
tor 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.
Every student should read and think about every-
thing that is said on the line bordered pages, namely:
-14, 82, 98, 104, 116, 124, 136, and 138.
The principal sub-division of this catalog are
indicated by the headings which are printed opposite
the arrows on the right margin of this page. Directly
under each one of these arrows will be found a
black scjuarc which is printed on the right margin of
the page at the opening at which a corresponding
heading appears. The page is given on the arrow.
' lossary, p. 158; complete topical index, p. 160
The owner of this catalog should file it for ready
Terence and bring it (when needed) to conferences
uith the Dean, the Registrar or the Faculty Coun-
sellor.
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 enors, inadequacies and inco-ordinations.
It is hoped that all officers, teachers and students
will help the Administration to make continuous
improvements in successive issue of "our" catalog.

7^e Tt/Ue Tftan Say&:
(Proverbs 2:1-6, 13-17)
1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and
hide my commandments with thee;
2. So that thou incline thine car unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;
3. Yea, it t.hou criest after knowledge, and IirV
est iip thy voice for unders.anding;
4. If thou seekest her as silver, and scare he: r
for her as for hid treasure;
5. Then shalt thou under: tand the (ear of the
LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his
mouth come'h knowledge and understand-
ing.
•
13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and
the man that getteth understanding.
14. For the merchandise of it is better than the
merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof
than fine gold.
15. She is more precious than rubies: and all
the things thou canst desire are not to be
compared unto her.
16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in
her left hand riches and honour.
17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all
her paths are peace.
i4k Ideat (fyvUtiaa @a(£eye
is .-/ careful I) dt- signed ednca tonal environment in which young people
ot high purpose and fervent zeal come together voluntarily and joyfully
to seek the effective help of devoted, dedicated, inspiring Christian teachers
while they prepare themselves and help to prepare each other for a life
ol self-effacing Christian service at home and abroad.
?4k Ideal 0oMe$e Student

• Is continuously concerned with the problem of clarifying and better
defining his life purposes.
• Knows why he has come to college and why he has chosen to come to
this particular college.
• Is concerned to select his curriculum, his courses, and his work
assignments wisely because he knows they can be an effective means
to the achievement of his life purposes.
• Chooses his college companions with due caution and care because
he wants to be helpful to them, lie knows that the right companions
can be helpful to him, and he realizes that his best buddies in college
arc likely to be his boon companions for life.
• Desires to achieve sound scholarship, to maintain high ethical stand-
ards, and to acquire acceptable social graces.
• Has retained, in spite of any routine, uninteresting and unprofitable
teaching he may have had, something of his childhood curiosity 1 "to
know about things/'
• Tries to build up his health and to avoid acquiring habits that will
impair it.
• Is a good steward of his time, energy, money, and influence.
• Knows that all true education is self education- that while grades
may be given and degrees conferred, education must be tamed.
• Understands that self-government is the only kind of government
under which men can live happily.

WHY INDUSTRIES IN AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION?
The prevailing pattern of the work-study program in the Seventh-day Adventist colleges and
academies is based upon the educational philosophy and the counsels ol Mrs. Ellen G. White.
Her reasons for recommending that regular work assignments be given to students is clearly expressed
in the following paragraphs:
"In acquiring an education, many students will gai^ s raort valuable 'raining it +! »y will become
sell-sustaining.
"Instead of incurring debts, or depending on the self-denial of their parents, let young men and
young women depend on themselves..
"They will thus Ii.-arn the value of money, the value of time, strength, and opportunities, and will be
under far less temptation to indulge idle and. spendthrift habits.
"The lessons ol economy, industry, self-denial, practical business management, and steadfastness of
purpCi:-- :hus mastered, will prove a most important part of their equipment :or the battle of life.
"And the lesson of self-help learned by the student will go Jar toward preserving institutions of
learning from the burden of debt under which ^c many of :hem have struggled, and which has done
so much lav/am crippling their usefulness."
During the summer of 1953 and the current academic year (1953-54), college and academy students
in part-time employment were distributed among the following industries and service departments:
Accounting OiiLce
Broom Shop
Cafeteria and Kitchen
Campus and Gardens

Really Significant Elements of Christian Character.
CHOOSING YOUR CURRICULUM. YOUR COURSES,
AND YOUR WORK-STUDY ASSIGNMENT*
Re-read carefully and thoughtfully pages A, B, C, D, F, and
G. of this catalog.
If you expect to be in college to the completion of a full
four-year degree curriculum, you may well devote the first
year principally to courses that are required in the curriculum
which most appeals to you as a Freshman. (See list of curriculums
ofiered page 47.)
During this first year re-explore your abilities, your interests
and your dominant life purposes under the guidance of your
faculty counselor, the director of the testing and counseling
services, the dean of the college, and other persons of mature
judgment.
Acquaint yourself with the scope and purpose of each of
ihe curriculums offered in the college. (See pages 47 to 78 in-
clusive.)
In preparation for making your final choice of a curriculum
at (say) the close of the second year, consult your official faculty
counselor, and the advisor for any curriculum in which you have
a definite interest.
Read and study the line-bordered pages printed in bold
face type preceding each of the Divisions of Instruction in this
catalog. (See pages 82, 9B, 104, 116, 124, 136 and 138) This will
help you to understand that ALL SEVEN OF THESE FIELDS OF
HUMAN INTEREST ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU.
Confer, as occasion is afforded you to do so, with each of
the teachers in charge of the courses you are required to take
or have otherwise decided to take.
If you must, for good reasons, limit your choice of a curric-
ulum to one of the list of two-year curriculums (See list page 47),
consult freely with your Freshman counselor and with the
curriculum advisor to whom he may direct you, before making
your final choice.
*Do not hesitate to state clearly to the Director of Work
Assignments just what your preference is and the reason there-
for. If, for practical reasons, he cannot grant your request or if, in
hi:;; judgment, it would not be in your interests that he should do
so, be a good soldier.
Aim to make good not only on your curriculum and your
courses, but also on your work assignments.
While on any given work assignment, make yourself as
nearly indispensable as possible.
Our Aim: The Harmonious Education of Head, Heart, and Hand,
(Democracy Vs. Autocracy)
Autocracy claims:
That it can be (and sometimes is) more efficient than
democracy.
Democracy claims:
1. That all who aspire to J earn the art of self-govern-
ment by the painful but elemental process of trial
and error should have an opportunity to do so.
2. That mere efficiency on the pari; of a few who rule
the sullen masses is no satisfactory substitute for the
inherent right of these masses to learn cooperation —
and to earn contentment — by participation.
3. That cooperation and contentment insure ultimate
efficiency on the highest level of human achievement.
Autocracy is concerned
about efficiency, too often for purely selfish ends.
Democracy is concerned
about the growth of the individual in the art of serv-
ing others as well as self.
Cooperation
(which is the other name for the Golden Rule in full
and effective operation) is the essence of all true
democracy; it means that we must so conduct our-
selves that others may be able to live happily and to
work comfortably and effectively with us.
/4 %o*d @oMe$e
is a center for training in the fine art of cooperative
living; it is a place where young people — of any age
— come together to educate thmeselves and each other
with the effective help of inspiring teachers.

18 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
Southern Missionary College, a Seventh-day Adventist institu-
tion, was founded in 1893 as Southern Training School, at
Graysville, Tennessee. Twenty-three years later the school was
moved to Collegedale, Tennessee; and there, in 1916, it was re-
opened as Southern Junior College. The exigencies of a rapidly
expanding student body necessitated 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.
ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION
Southern Missionary College is fully accredited as a four-year
institution of higher learning by the Southern Association of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools, by the Tennessee State Department of
Education, and by the Seventh- day Adventist Board of Regents.
The college is also a member of the Southern Association of Pri-
vate Schools, the Tennessee College Association, and the Mid-
South Association of Private Schools.
Southern Missionary College has been approved by the Ten-
nessee State Board of Education for the certification of secondary
school teachers and for the certification of elementary school teach-
ers on both the two-year and four-year levels.
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
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 19
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.
Specific Objectives. Southern Missionary College is a four-
year co-educational college of arts and sciences operated by the
Seventh-day Adventist denomination. It's general objectives are those
of this governing organization. In harmony with these general
objectives, the following specific objectives have been adopted:
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 necessaty
to independent 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 Eng-
lish and in the graphic arts).
3. Ethical — To acquire those ethical and moral concepts which

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
purposes — 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 modern maintenance shop the following
are some of the industrial buildings:
The College Press. The College Press, housed in a large
brick building, is equipped with two intertypes, three automatic cylin-
der presses, and one hand fed cylinder press, three job presses, an

INFORMATION FOR VETERANS
Southern Missionary College cordially welcomes former mem-
bers of the United States armed forces who have been honorably
discharged and who wish to continue their formal education in a
Christian college. Every cooperation will be extended to enable
the veteran to complete the curriculum of his choice in the shortest
possible time consistent with approved scholastic standards.
Southern Missionary College is fully recognized as a training
center for veterans. In general the rules for admission and con-
tinued registration of veterans are the same as for other students,
except that veterans who have not finished high school may qualify
for admission to certain curriculums by passing successfully the Gen-
eral Educational Development tests at the high school level.
Veterans holding medical discharges and eligible under
Public Law 16 should make arrangements for a personal interview
with a representative of the Veteran's Administration at his local
office, where he will receive an authorization to enter training at
Southern Missionary College.
All veterans are urged to take prompt advantage of the edu-
cational benefits of the G.I. Bill of Rights. There is no cut-off
date for starting courses under Public Law 16, the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act for disabled veterans.
WHAT THE G. I. BILL OF RIGHTS PROVIDES
For all but Korean Veterans, the Veterans Administration
will pay direct to this college the charge for tuition, general fees,
required books and supplies. Books and supplies are paid for only
if they are required of non-veterans taking the same course.
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.
The general fee does not include the advance deposits which
must be made by the veteran at his own expense and is credited
back to his personal account at the close of the school term.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 25
A veteran attending another school under Public Law 16
or 346 who wishes to transfer to Southern Missionary College must
obtain permission from the Veteran's Administration. If permis-
sion is granted, he will then receive a supplemental certificate of
eligibility authorizing the transfer to this college. This certificate
must be presented to Southern Missionary College at the time of
registration.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRAINING FOR KOREAN VETERANS
The Korean Veteran's Readjustment Act of 1952, Public
Law 550, 82nd Congress, provides training assistance for any
honorably discharged veteran who served on active duty after
June 27, 1950.
The period of service for which a veteran is eligible is called
the "basic service period." The "basic service period" for Public
Law 550 is the period beginning on June 27, 1950, and ending on
such date as shall be determined by Presidential proclamation or
concurrent resolution of Congress.
The term "delimiting date" means August 20, 1954, or the
date two years after the veteran's discharge or release from active
service whichever is the later, and the veteran must actually com-
mence the active pursuit of the approved program of education or
training not later than his delimiting date.
No education or training shall be afforded to any individual
veteran beyond a date seven years following the end of the "basic
service period," or the date seven years after his discharge or release
from active service, whichever is the earlier. The amount of training
in any case shall not exceed 36 months.
Public Law 550 allows the veteran to make one change only
in his curriculum. However, it imposes no restriction upon a change
of institutions for pursuit of the same curriculum.
Students planning to study under the Korean G.L Bill must
apply for and obtain a Certificate for Education and Training —
V.A. Form 7-1993 from the nearest Veterans' Administration
Office.
The veteran should have in his possession: (1) a certified
copy of discharge papers; (2) if married, a certified copy of the
public record of marriage; (3) if divorced, a certified copy of the
divorce decree; and (4) a photostatic copy of birth certificate.
26 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
VETERANS' BENEFITS
The fate of subsistence is paid on the following basis:
Dependents
None One More than one
Full time (14 sem. hrs.)$110 $135 $160
y 4 80 100 120
l/ 2 50 60 80
Out of this allowance, plus whatever he might secure from other
sources, the veteran must pay the college for his tuition, fees, books
and supplies, and keep up to date on all other obligations.
GOVERNING STANDARDS
General. In the light of the objectives of the college the re-
ligious phase of the student's education is of paramount importance.
Students applying for entrance to the college thereby pledge then>
selves to maintain the Christian standards of the institution, to at-
tend all regularly scheduled religious services, and to give due re-
spect 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
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 theater, dances, or any other entertainment not
approved by the President's Council.
Citizenship Standards. At the close of each semester or
term each student is given a citizenship rating by a committee com-
posed of representative students and officers of the college. The
ratings given are (1) satisfactory, S; (2) improvement desired, I;
and (3) unsatisfactory, U.
Automobiles. The College has adopted and enforces the policy
that the only unmarried residence-hall students who may bring to,
or operate an automobile, on the campus are those who are 21 years
of age or more, or whose status is that of a junior or senior in college.
A student who falls into this category will be granted a permit to
operate an automobile provided that: 1) his scholastic grade-point-
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 27
average was not lower than 1.00 for the preceding semester or
9-week period; 2) his citizenship grade for the preceding and cur-
rent term is satisfactory; 3) his budget as prepared by the Assistant
Business Manager shows that he can meet his financial obliga-
tions to the College and operate a car as well. In addition, the
student must agree to abide by the campus auto regulations. Copies
of these will be furnished by the Dean upon request.
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 student will have the same force as
if printed in the catalog or in the handbook, S.M.C., and You.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES
The extra-class activities program of the college provides well
organized opportunities for development of student initiative and
leadership. In the Student Association, through his elected rep-
resentative, each student has a voice in the formulation of policies
and in the administration of college life and activities. Through
participating in the various student organizations and church ac-
tivities 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. Student clubs are chartered by
the Student Association. The plans and policies governing the
Student Association and the other student organizations, as well
as the program of extra-class activities generally, are outlined in the
handbook, Our Student Organizations at Work.
28 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
Testing and Counseling Service. This service provides
general assistance to all students and also certain professional serv-
ices for those with special needs. General assistance for all
students is provided for by a group of personal counselors who de-
vote some hours each week to individual conferences with students.
The various officers, division chairmen 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 pro-
ficiency and others as the need may require.
The Director of the Testing and Counseling Service, who is a
clinical psychologist, 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, emotional and social
maladjustments, and marital problems.
Health Service. The health service is under the supervi-
sion of a resident registered nurse. The college physician attends,
on a part time basis, and is available on call. Several graduate
nurses are also available as needed. The health service provides
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.
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 supervisors, this work affords valuable training, and brings
a college education within the reach of many who otherwise would
find it impossible to attend school.
Publications. The Student Association publishes the bi-
weekly Southern Accent and the yearbook, Southern Memories.
Religious Life and 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, mis-
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 29
sionary, and prayer life of the student and afford opportunties for
training in leadership, teaching, and church endeavors.
Participation in Extra-curricular Activities, ki order to
insure satisfactory scholarship, the extent to which students may
participate in extra-curricular activities is subject to regulation.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Broadly speaking Southern Missionary College is a living
institution made up of its alumni, faculty, and students. The
Collegedale Alumni Association promotes the interests of the
school, fosters a spirit of friendship among former students, pre-
serves worthy traditions of the college, and serves mankind through
the personal exemplification and advocacy of the ideals of Alma
Mater.
The General Association holds two meetings annually, one on
Founders' Day in October and the other on Commencement Day.
Local chapters in various sections of the country meet several times
yearly. The Association publishes The Collegedale Alumnus, its
official publication, four times a year — a quarterly which is dis-
tributed 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 the following institutions, the first three of which
preceded Southern Missionary College: the Graysville Academy,
the Southern Training School, the Southern Junior College, the
Collegedale Academy, and the Southern Missionary College. As-
sociate membership in the organization is also granted individuals
who have attended this institution at least one semester.
The affairs of the Association are managed by its officers

30 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
ADMISSION
Southern Missionary College is open to high school or academy
graduates who, according to the judgment of the Admission Com-
mittee, are qualified to pursue with profit the courses offered by the
college. Factors in determining eligibility for admission are charac-
ter, citizenship, reputation, health, scholastic achievement, and in-
tellectual 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 Missionary College, Collegedale, Tennessee. An ap-
plicant who has not previously attended Southern Missionary Col-
lege should 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 reserva-
tion fee. This deposit will appear as a credit on the final statement
of the school year provided the room is left in good order (or will
be refunded if the applicant is not admitted or if he decides not to
enter and notifies the college on or before August 1.)
The applicant should request the school last attended to send
directly to the Secretary of Admissions of this College a complete
official transcript of all previous 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 con-
sideration of his application. No portion of the applicant's scho-
lastic record may be omitted from the transcript submitted for con-
sideration and no student may be officially registered until his pre-
vious transcripts are on hand.
Transcripts of credit accepted toward admission become the
property of the college and are kept on permanent file.
Students may be admitted by transcript (or certificate) of at
least fifteen units from an acredited 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 Adminissions Committee the student's secondary record must
average "C" or above. See "Subject Requirements for Admission"
pages 33, 34.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 31
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 apponted time. See announcements, page 3.
Admission of Veterans on G. E. D. Tests. Admission to
full freshman standing at Southern Missionary College is possible
to 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 numbers 2, 3, and 4 (either
at Southern Missionary College or at any other approved testing
station) making an average standing 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 Examina-
tion 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.
Freshman Standing. Those graduates of accredited four-year
secondary schools whose scholarship record is acceptable are ad-
mitted to freshman standing upon receipt of a properly certified
transcript of fifteen units, but such students may have deficiencies to
make up.
Conditional freshman standing may be given to a person
who has completed fourteen acceptable units. The remaining unit
shall be earned during the first year of attendance at the col-
lege.
Transfer Students. A candidate for admission from another
accredited institution of college rank may receive credit without
examinations for such work, subject to the following requirements:
(a) He must have complete official transcripts from each pre-
vious 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.
32 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
(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 As An Adult Special Student. Any acceptable
person twenty-one years of age or over may be admitted as a
special student (not as a candidate for a degree or a diploma), on
approval of the Dean and of the instructors in whose courses he
wishes to enroll. Any course taken by an adult special student
carries lower biennium credit, and a maximum of twenty-four
semester hours credit may be earned by such student.
Admission by Transcript. Students may be admitted by
transcript (or certificate) of at least fifteen units from an accredited
high school or academy. Inasmuch as the pattern of prerequisite
requirements varies, those required for each curriculum are listed
on page 33 and explained on that and the following pages. Ex-
ceptions to this rule can be made only by special action of the
Admissions Committee.
Admission by Examination. Mature persons (at least
twenty-one years of age) who have not been graduated from
high school may be admitted to the college on the basis of scholastic
aptitude and achievement test results. By means of these tests, given
during Freshman Week by the director of the Testing Service, the
candidate must demonstrate his ability to carry college work suc-
cessfully.
Students from Unaccredited Schools. Unless admitted as
a veteran and as a result of G.E.D. test (see page 31), students
from unaccredited high schools and academies, in addition to the
above requirements, must take examinations for college entrance.
Entrance examinations 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 covering the subject matter on the second-
ary school level.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
33
Students falling lower than the 30th percentile in one
field are deemed to have failed in that field and will be re-
quired to enroll for another secondary unit in that field in order
to meet college entrance requirements.

* Important Note: The unit pattern given, with graduation from an ac-
credited secondary school and completion of necessary college courses,
satisfies the requirement for admission to S.D.A. schools o£ medicine,
dentistry, dietetics, and nursing; but inasmuch as requirements for ad-
mission to other 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's to
meet these requirements.
a. One unit for each year of attendance in an S.D.A. secondary school, to a
total of three units. S.&.A. 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 students present two units of
foreign language, although they may be admitted to some nursing
schools without it. The student who presents these two units thus has
the greater freedom, for he may then qualify for all schools of 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.
34 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
h. Physics is recommended; biology, chemistry and general science are ac-
cepted.
i. The social science requirements may be met by presenting two units from
the following: American History, World History, General History,
European History, Civil Government, Problems of Democracy, Economic
Geography, and Economics. One unit must be history.
j. If only one unit of Social Science is required, it should be history.
k. Sufficient to make a total of fifteen units. Should be chosen to support the
curriculum to be followed in college.
1. Pre-nursing students are required to present sixteen units of secondary
school credit.
Entrance Deficiences: 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 deficiency, four hours are counted as the equivalent of one
secondary school unit. These hours apply as elective credit toward grad-
uation, except that credit in foreign Language and Bible applies to-
ward 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 will receive by mail, at the home address given, a full
printed schedule of all appointments for Orientation, Testing,
Counseling and Registration, which will occur between 7:30 A.M.
Monday, September 13 and 10:00 P,M., Wednesday, September 15.
(See page 3.) All freshmen must take the full battery of tests. Trans-
fer students must take these tests unless former scores appear with
their transcripts.
Late Registration. A late registration fee of $5.00 is
charged for first semester registration after September 15 and for
second semester registration after January 23 (See page 3.)
Any student who enters school late seriously handicaps him-
self 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 certain courses because of the difficulty of making up
the work (see Attendance Regulations, pages 38, 39.) 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 there-
of missed, including the first two weeks. A student may be ad-
mitted to a class after three weeks only by permission of the in-
structor and may not be admitted to the class after six weeks of
school.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 35
Correct Registration. The early completion of the basic
courses (see page 50) 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 involv-
ing 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
academic reasons may be made during the first three weeks of a
semester with the consent of the instructor concerned, the personal
counselor, and the Registrar. After that time the permission of the
College Dean must also be secured. A change of program voucher
becomes effective the date the vuocher, 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 with-
out 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. Ordinarily this permision is granted only in the event of
conflicts in the class schedule or work program.
Withdrawal. If a course being taken for credit is discon-
tinued without cancellation of registration by drop voucher, it is
regarded as a failure and so recorded. A course taken for credit,
if discontinued after the first twelve weeks for any cause except
illness or other unavoidable circumstances, as determined by the
Dean, will be recorded as a failure.
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.

Student Study and Work Load. A full-time student except
for Korean veterans, in any semester is denned as one who is regis-
tered 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 at-
tempt a slightly heavier program. These schedules are designed to
insure sound scholarship and an essential safeguarding of health.
Labor Hours Class Hours In some cases a student, with
superior health and ability may, upon
the recommendation of his adviser
and with the approval of the Dean of
the College, register for more than 16
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 incompletes are 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
service without proper arrangement with the Dean of the College.
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 of the College.
Except by permission of the President's Council, the mini-
mum course load of a student living in one of the residence halls
is eight hours.
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 sopho-
more courses already taken, and provided, also, that his current
registration completes the fulfillment of lower biennium basic
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 37
requirements including the meeting of standards of English per-
formance. (See page 44.)
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 in the registrar's office.
Special 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 com-
pleted or is currently completing without special registration not
less than fifteen hours in the department concerned.
Auditing Courses. By permission of the Dean of the Col-
lege and the instructor concerned, a student may audit a 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.
Reduction in Credit. A student should fulfill all basic
requirements (see page 51) while he is registered in the lower
biennium. For seniors taking lower biennium required courses the
credit in these courses will be reduced one-third to one-half the
regular amount (the reduction not to result in fractional hours).
This practice reduces the student's total credit hours but does not
affect the fulfilling of specific course requirements.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students are classified by the Dean of the College. The classi-
fication for which a student qualifies at the first semester registra-
tion ordinarily continues through both semesters. A student who
desires reclassification at the beginning of the second semester
shall make written application to the Registrar and must meet
the full requirements for the particular classification sought except
that (1) officers of classes may not be reclassified and (2) seniors
must remain in the junior class unless they are candidates for
graduation for 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.
38 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
The following schedule governs the classification of students
entering 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 comple-
tion of fourteen acceptable units, and on condition that the remain-
ing one unit is taken during the first year on the college campus.
Sophomores. Twenty-four semester hours of "C" average, the
hours to include basic requirements completed with the average
computed separately on hours earned in Southern Missionary College.
Juniors. Fifty-six semester hours "C" average, the hours to in-
clude basic requirements completed, and the average computed sep-
arately on hours earned in Southern Missionary College. Registration
for the junior year shall include any lower biennium basic require-
ments not already fulfilled.
Seniors 1st Semester 2nd Semester..
For full standing 91 125
For full standing (Theol.) 103 137
For summer session 82 99
For summer session (TheoL) 94 111
The above semester hours must be of "C" average, based
on credits earned at Southern Missionary College. For full standing
current registration must satisfy all remaining requirements for a
degree.
For membership in the senior class organization the senior
year's work must have been carried satisfactorily to the time of
the organization of the class. If a course is taken by correspond-
ence 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 infor-
mation, see "Adult Special" under "Admission," page 32.
ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS
Inasmuch as class instruction provides the basis for college
learning, development, and credit, regular attendance at all classes
is expected of every student. The record of daily class and laboratory
attendance is kept by each instructor. Each absence naturally reduces
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 39
automatically the student's grasp of the subject material considered
and lowers proportionately his mark or grade in the course.
Explanation blanks for class absences due to illness or other
emergencies are presented to the teacher not later than the second
class meeting following the absence and only after having the
approval of the Dean of Men (for all men) or of the Dean ot
Women (for all women). These blanks are necessary to authorize
the instructor to permit the student to make up tests or other
assignments missed because of absences due to illness. Special prior
requests in writing for unusual class absences will be considered by
the Government Committee. Cases of repeated absences (ordinarily
are reported to the College Dean and to the Dean of Men (for men)
or to the Dean of Women (for women) . These officers will contact
the student's counselor in an effort to solve the problem.
Three tardinesses count as one absence. Students entering a
class late in the semester are regarded as having taken absences dur-
ing the class periods previously missed.
CHAPEL AND WORSHIP ATTENDANCE
A faithful record of chapel attendance is maintained in the
office of the Registrar. The record of attendance at worship and
at the various regular religious services is kept by the Dean of
Men and the Dean of Women. Flagrant cases of repeated non-
attendance will be referred to the President's Council.
CITIZENSHIP RECORD
An item "citizenship" appears on the grade report and on
the permanent record card of each student. The various criteria
for determining citizenship are:
a. General attitude
b. Compliance with social regulations
c. Dining room conduct
d. Attitude toward and regularity in attendance at religious
services, worship, vespers, Sabbath school, church
e. Dormitory conduct
f. Obedience to campus automobile regulations
g. Personal grooming and room cleanliness
h. Chapel attendance
40 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
Three citizenship grades (or marks) employed are as follows:
1. Satisfactory, S.
2. Improvement desirable, I.
3. Unsatisfactory, U.
A committee of representative students and officers of the
College recommend one of the above three grades for each student
at the end of each nine-week period and the final grade is authoriz-
ed by the President's Council.
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 sixteen hours; for
a two-year curriculum, eight hours.
Students may not take correspondence work in the upper bien-
nium on their major. 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, must be applicable in the curriculum for
which the student is enrolled, and must have been taken by per-
mission of the college during a period of resident attendance, or
followed by earning in this college twelve hours with a scholarship
average of "C"
No credit will be accepted from a correspondence school that
is take!n while the student is enrolled in Southern Missionary College,
unless that course is not being offered by the college.
Credit for work taken with any standard correspondence
school is granted as follows: (1) A grade of "D" on any corre-
spondence work may not be recorded, (2) a grade of "C" is ac-
cepted 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.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 4l
EXAMINATIONS
Course Examinations. Examinations are given in all courses
at the end of each semester. Students are expected to take examina-
tions at the time scheduled, unless prevented by illness or other
unavoidable circumstance.
For admission by examinations. See page 32.
Exemption Examination. A student may be exempt by
examination 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 authoriaed by the Curriculum
and Academic Standards Committee. No hours of credit are given
for an exemption examination. The fee is $2.00.
Special Examinations. Special examinations are given when
justified by circumstances, such as sickness or necessary absence from
the campus. The fee is $2.00.
The re-examination is permitted only by consent of the Curric-
ulum and Academic Standards Committe.
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
F — Failure Minus 1
E — Warning for "below passing" scholarship.
This grade may be given only at the nine
weeks period.
I — Incomplete because of illness or other
unavoidable delay; an incomplete received
during the first semester must be removed
42 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
by the end of the second semester or it be-
comes an F; incompletes received during
the second semester must be removed be-
fore the end of the first semester of the
following school year.
W — Withdrew passing
Wf — Withdrew failing Minus 1
Au — Audit
S — Satisfactory (for music organizations only)
U — Unsatisfactory (for music organizations only)
A grade correctly reported to the Registrar can be changed
only upon repetition of the course. When a course is repeated to
raise a grade, it must be done before a more advanced course in
the same field is completed. Credit may not be earned in a course
after a more advanced course in the same field has been taken.
No grades will be recorded for a course for which the individual
concerned has not registered.
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.*'
Education should prepare a person to be useful
and should inspire him with the ideal of service.

GRADUATION STANDARDS
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A student may qualify for graduation by fulfilling all cur-
riculum 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 re-
quirements for graduation as set forth in one of the catalogues
current after his re-entrance. Special consideration will be given to
sudents who have been forced to discontinue attendance for service
in the Armed Forces.
A student who has received one bachelor's degree may re-
ceive a second bachelor's degree provided that all requirements for
both degrees 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
primarily with the student. He should acquaint himself with the
published requirements and plan his courses 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 requirements listed in the
college catalog.
GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS
During recent years an increasing number of graduate and
professional schools and employers have been requiring applicants
for employment or admission to file, together with other credentials,
their scores in the Graduate Record Examinations. To make these
scores available to graduates as well as to provide a national
standard norm by which to evaluate the teaching and learning
processes at Southern Missionary College, these tests are now re-
quired to be taken by every candidate for a baccalaureate degree
during the final semester of his senior year. The college ad-
ministers the test each year on the Institutional Testing Program
whereby the entire senior class writes on the test on the same d y.
National Sophomore Testing Program. The college par-
ticipates every second year in the National Sophomore Testing pro-
REQUIRED STANDARDS OF ENGLISH PERFORMANCE
The Committee on Curriculum and Academic Standards has
set up definite requirements in English speaking and writing, and
in reading speed and comprehension which must be achieved:
(1) By each and every individual student who is a candidate
for promotion from a lower biennium curriculum to full and
unconditional standing in an upper biennium curriculum.
(2) By each and every candidate for graduation from any one
of the two-year or the four-year curriculums of the college.
These requirements will be entirely independent of course
credits in English grammar, composition! and rhetoric. They can
not be met merely by passing a formal written examination of the
conventional type.
Each student's actual record of spontaneous, habitual, con-
tinuing performance in English usage will be taken as an indica-
tion of his real progress at any given time, in measuring up to
the Committee's clearly defined standards. His actual performance
(not merely his knowledge) must demonstrate conclusively:
(1) That he has never had, or that he has successfully over-
come, long standing habits of (a) incorrect spelling, (b)
faulty sentence structure, and (c) gross mispronunciation.
(2) That he has achieved satisfactory scores (a) in reading
speed and (b) in reading comprehension (vocabulary).
EVERY STUDENT WILL RECEIVE, AT THE TIME OF REGISTRA-
TION, A PRINTED BOOKLET GIVING THESE STANDARDS AND
FULL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET READY TO MEET THEM.
IF IT IS NECESSARY, SPECIAL REMEDIAL COURSES WILL BE
ORGANIZED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE.
Every teacher in the College is a teacher of English (outside
of the classroom as well as in it) and is expected:
(1) To help every individual student in his classes (and when-
ever an appropriate opportunity occurs in informal conver-
sation any where else on the campus) to measure up, as
soon as possible, to the standards outlined in the booklet.
(2) To help the Committee on Curriculum and Academic Stand-
ards to secure as accurate and adequate a record as is
possible, at any given time, of each individual student's
actual performance in speaking and in writing (both in
and outside of the classroom).
STUDENTS FROM NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES
The Required Standards of English Performance set forth above
are obviously inappropriate for students from non-English-speak-
ing countries who are planning to return to their homes in such
countries. The pattern of requirements in English usage is, there-
fore, altered to fit the needs of all such students.

gram. These tests are of general achievement and are valuable in
indicating the standing of individual students in terms of national'
norms. They also provide the scientific basis for a valid judgment
of the scholastic standing of the college.
CANDIDACY FOR GRADUATION
To be graduated at commencement, a student must have com-
pleted all requiremenes 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 are permitted to participate in the consecra-
tion and baccalaureate services with the class finishing in June, but
do not appear as graduation candidates at the June commencement.
Formal application for graduation should be made at the Reg-
istrar's office during the first semester of the senior year. All
resident candidates for graduation must be members of one of the
senior classes. See Standard of English Performance Required, on
page 44
GRADUATION WITH HONORS
A candidate for graduation with a grade point average of 2.35
or above, and whose record shows no grade lower than a "C may
be considered for graduation with honors. Other criteria for this
distinction shall include such factors as exemplary character, note-
worthy achievement in students activities, comprehensive examination
results, and outstanding accomplishments in his major field of study
or in independent study courses. The initiative in the procedure
is a suggestion from a student's major professor to the Curriculum
and Academic Standards Committee which in turn may recommend
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.
46 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
The chief commencement exercise is held annually in May or
June. However, whenever there are approximately eight or more can-
didates for summer graduation, a commencement exercise is also
held in August. Candidates for graduation in August participate in
all the closing exercises except at the commencement in May.
No candidate is eligible to receive his diploma or degree until
his requirements are completed. A candidate who completes his
work at the close of the first semester may receive his diploma
in absentia or be graduated with the class at the ensuing commence-
ment.
A good education is that which gives to the body
and to the soul all the beauty and perfection of
which they are capable.

value it not as an experience, but as a tool.

The candidate for the Seventh-day Adventist ministry must
obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology, and complete the
first year of the Bachelor of Divinity curriculum at the Seminary
in Washington, D. C.
Approval for entrance into, and continuance in, the ministerial
curriculum of Southern Missionary College is to be secured from
the sub-committee on Ministerial Recommendations, which is
guided by the following standards and procedures:

a sensible and sound balance in Christian living.
2. He should be physically sound and in good health, maintaining an ac-
ceptable standard of personal hygiene.
3. He should be well-adjusted socially and show promise of normal
maturity.
i. He should possess a pleasing personality, a talent for leadership, and
give promise of ability in public speaking.
5. He should give evidence of industry, initiative, punctuality, depend-
ability, and neatness.
6. He should be co-operative, adaptable, and able to get along with others.
7. He should be a man of integrity in business matters.

an intern or a minister.
9. Morally he should be above reproach in his relations with men and
women, and in his own private conduct.
10. If married, he should have a home life in keeping with the ideals of
a Christian. If contemplating marriage, he should be expected to
maintain high standards in his courtship and selection of a wife.
11. He should feel, and be able to give evidence, that he has been called
to the ministry, and that no other type of work for God, can, or will,
satisfy him.
12. He should be an active participant in the missionary endeavors of his
church and his Missionary Volunteer Society; he should be able loyally
and intelligently to take his part in organized group activity; he should
become progressively more conversant with organizational procedures
and committee techniques.
13. He should achieve a grade-point average of 1.25 in the lower bien-
nium before applying for admission to the ministerial curriculum or
to the upper biennium of the arts and sciences curriculum with a major
in religion.
a. It is understood that failure to reach the grade-point average spe-
cified bars him from admission. If he elects to make a second
attempt, repetition in low-grade courses is limited to twenty-five
56 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
per cent of the total hours earned up to the time of the applica-
tion, and no course may be repeated twice.
b. An applicant not admitted to the upper biennium because of a
low grade-point average shall not lose his draft status unless he
exceeds the limits set in the paragraph preceding.
c. A grade-point average of 1.25 must be maintained in the upper
biennium.
II. PROCEDURES
1. A freshman is provisionally enrolled in the pre-ministerial curriculum
(lower biennium) at the beginning of his first semester. At the end
of the first nine weeks, he is to apply to the sub-Committee on Min-
isterial Recommendations for confirmation of the enrollment.
a. A freshman who ranks in the lowest third of the national norms
of the battery of entrance tests must present to the sub-commit-
tee a request for special consideration.
b. A freshman giving evidence of emotional instability, unchristian
character, or social maladjusment, is not to be admitted, even
provisionally, to the curriculum mentioned above.
2. A student hoping to enter the ministerial curriculum, must, on com-
pleting his sophomore requirements, apply for admission to the upper
biennium.
a. Applications may be presented at the end of the summer session,
and at mid -term of each semester.
b. Candidates denied permission to major (admission to the upper
biennium), may build a minor in religion.
3. A student transferring from another college is to be admitted provision-
ally. On completion of fourteen hours of credit, the student is to apply
for permanent admission. Admission will be granted if a grade-point
average of 1.25 has been maintained, and if the student meets the
other qualifications deemed necessary by the sub-Committee on Minis-
terial Recommendations.
4. Each semester each pre-ministerial and ministerial student is requested
to report his participation in missionary and church activities to the
chairman of the sub-Committee on Ministerial Recommendations.
It is recommended that the student spend one summer in
organized soul- winning evangelistic work, preferably by spending
350 hours in Literature Evangelism.

TEACHER CERTIFICATION
Effective September 1, 1953 the State of Tennessee discon-
tinued issuing permanent teaching certificates. From that time onward
provisional, 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 above 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 Certi-
ficate.
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 above.
This curriculum leads to endorsement in the Seventh-day Adventist
denomination as well as in the State of Tennessee. Inasmuch as most
states in the South follow a program of reciprocity in teacher en-
dorsement, 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 following minimum requirements:
Education 16 (Philosophy of Christian Education) 2 hours
Education 110 (Human Growth and Dev.) 3 hours

PRE-PROFESSIONAL AND PRE-TECHNICAL CURRICULUMS
PRE-MEDICAL
Nearly all medical colleges now require a bachelor's degree
of all candidates. Therefore students who expect to enter later
in a medical college should register as arts and sciences 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 Evan-
gelists, Loma Linda, California, should select entrance courses as
outlined in the current bulletin issued by that college. Currently
these essential courses include:
Semester Hours
Biology (preferably 45, 46) 8
English 1-2 6
Foreign Language (French, German, or Spanish) 6-18
General Chemistry 1-2 8
General Embryology 145 - 2
Organic Chemistry 53-54 8
Physics 1-2 8
Quantitative Analysis 102 3
and a minimum of four hours of religion for each year of college
work offered for entrance.
The quality of scholarship required for entrance demands that
a grade-point average in natural sciences and other subjects, figured
separately, should be not less than 1.5 and a higher grade point
average is desirable. (Actually the College of Medical Evangelists
is not now accepting any candidates with less than a 1.7 grade-
point average.) Students who do not reach this grade-point average
will not be recommended.
PRE-DENTAL
Admission: See page 33.
Class A dental colleges require for admission two years (sixty
hours) of college work, including certain prescribed courses.
Students planning to transfer to the Dental School of the College
of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda, California, should select
courses as outlined in the current bulletin issued by that college.
Currently these essential courses are included in the suggested
program of study below:

PRE-LAW
Students who complete three years of work (96 semester J-ours
with a grade point average of 1) may receive the Bachelor of Arts
degree from SMC upon satisfactory completion of 32 semester hours
additional work in a law school accredited by the National Associa-
tion of American Law Schools. This degree will be granted provided
1. That the last year of pre-professional work be taken in resi-
dence at SMC.
2. That application for this degree be made before entering
the law school.
3. That the transcript of credits earned at the Jaw school be
forwarded to this college and that the total of all credits
presented for graduation equal 12S semester hours with a
grade point average of 1.
4. That the candidate meet all specific requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts Degree that are presented in the catalog on
pages 50 and 51 plus 26 hours of credit toward his major
(10 of which must be of upper biennium credit) and 14
hours on his minor.
5. That the major and minor be chosen from the three fields of
History, Business and Economics, or English. The courses in
American National and State Government (Political Science
15) and Principles of Economics are required courses. If the
major is in Business and Economics, 15 hours must be in
Economics. Of the 96 hours earned in this school, 24 must
be upper biennium.
6. That the student maintain up to the time of his graduation
a pattern of living and conduct compatible with the aims and
and objectives of SMC
80 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
1 . That the candidate for this degree notify the Dean's Office
of his intention no later than the beginning of his sopho-
more year.
A special affiliation has been arranged with the University
of Tennessee Law School for students who meet the con-
ditions set forth above. Inasmuch as some law schools admit
only students with a four-year baccalaureate degree, it is
recommended that students earn their degree at SMC before
entering law school. However, entrance may be gained into
many schools on the program described above.
We must take the pleasure and pain that super-
vene upon our actions as symptoms of our condi-
tion. The man who abstains from bodily pleasures
and actually enjoys doing so is temperate, while
the man who does so but dislikes it is intemper-
ate. The man who faces danger and enjoys it, or at
any rate is not pained by it, is brave; but the man
who faces it with pain is a coward. For goodness
of character has to do with pleasures and pains. It
is pleasure that makes us do what is bad, and pain
that makes us abstain from what is right. That is
why we require to be trained from our earliest
youth, as Plato has it, to feel pleasure and pain at
the right things. True education is just that.
— Aristotle
The child is entitled to his scientific inheritance, to
his literary inheritance, to his aesthetic inheritance,
to his institutional inheritance, and to his religious
inheritance. Without them he cannot become a
truly educated man.

SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 8L
DIVISIONS OF INSTRUCTION
Courses of instruction are arranged in seven divisions:
I Applied Arts III Fine Arts
II Education and Psychology IV Languages and Literature
V Natural Science and Mathematics
VI Religion and Applied Theology
VII Social Sciences
Of the courses listed, those marked with an asterisk prob-
ably will not be given in 1952-53, 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 from 1 to 99 are lower
biennium courses, taken mainly by freshmen and sophomores; those
numbered 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 fresh-
man and sophomore courses already taken, and (2) his current
registration completes the fulfillment 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. Application for per-
mission to do this is made on a blank 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., 11:12) are year
courses, of which either semester may be taken first, but both semes-
ters must be taken before the credit may apply toward graduation
from any curriculum.
Majors and Minors: Available majors and minors, with
requirements for each, are listed in their respective sections. In-
formation concerning majors may be found in the section on
curriculums.
CAN ONE LIVE COMFORTABLY
WITHOUT THE APPLIED ARTS?
Had you ever stopped to think why Americans enjoy today the
highest standard oi living that has ever been known in any period
of the world's history? Well, we have had among our members
many millions of cunning artisans and tinkers from many different
countries in all parts of the world. Out of this "melting pot" the
skilled labors of many and diverse origins have developed an in-
ventive genius that is the wonder of the modern world. Our enter-
prise as a people is the result not alone of the engineering skill
of our promotors and business managers, but also of the applied
art of the men in our shops, mills, and factories.
And we have been an industrious people Our pioneers early
learned that man cannot long be a consumer without being a pro-
ducer, that each normal person must contribute his unique part to
the total supply of the nation's or the world's goods if he expects to
share in the use of these goods, that it is good for man to labor —
to work with his hands — and to "earn his bread in the sweat of his
face," that the urge to create, whether it be in wood or stone or
metal or on canvas or the printed page, is a God-given impulse,
which finds its happy fulfillment in the production of some useful
finished product.
Life -demands that we live in families, that we produce, prepare,
and eat food, that we make and wear clothes, that we build and
furnish houses, that we earn and spend money, and that we par-
ticipate in social affairs. All these things we must do for our sur-
vival.
Did you ever think how much it contributes to one's peace of
mind and to the happiness of his home to be able to keep his ac-
counts straight and to have a correct record of personal and family
income and disbursements? Isn't success in life largely conditioned
by whether we do or do not know how to conserve and properly
manage our own personal, family and business resources?
Could we as a nation long survive without some knowledge of
the science of agriculture? Is it not possible for the average work-
er's family to produce a considerable portion of its food from a
well-kept domestic garden (including berries and fruits)?
Isn't it important for men as well as women to know food values
and to be able, at least on occasion, to prepare and to serve nutri-
tious and palatable meals? Do we not all need to make or choose
our own clothes and must we not, therefore, know materials, de-
signs, colors, values?
Is it possible to convert a mere house into an attractive and com-
fortable home without knowing how to make or choose suitable
furniture or without some knowledge and skill in the art of making
or choosing suitable interior decorations?

VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM
Supervisors
Albert L. Anderson George R. Pearman
The vocational training program was established for the pur-
pose of giving opportunity to students to learn a trade while work-
ing in the College Industries to pay for their formal education.
It is also designed to be of interest to those students who do not
desire to go all the way through college, but who want to broaden
their social and intellectual experience for several years beyond
the high school level.
A total of eight semester hours of credit will be allowed on
a four-year degree curriculum, four hours of which will apply on
the vocational requirement, and the other four as electives. A total
of six hours will be allowed toward a printing minor. Six hours will
also be allowed on the two-year industrial arts curriculum.
For each semester hour of credit, the student will have to
present a cumulative record in his trade book of 270 hours of
supervised work in the respective industry. Tuition charges will
be at the same rate as for other academic credits. Work done by
the students in the industrial or service departments will receive
the regular rate of pay.
In addition to the required supervised work, each student
will be assigned collateral readings and be required to render
reports covering subjects related to the industry in which he is
earning credit. Regular on-the-job conferences with the supervisor,
as well as specially arranged formal conferences or lectures are
96 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
also required. Passing grades are given for the prompt fulfillment
of collateral assignments, faithfulness in meeting work appoint-
ments, and an ever-increasing skill in the trade which the student
is studying.
The following vocational training classes will be offered in
1954-55. A maximum of two hours may be earned in each.

Can One Live Comfortably Without the Applied Arts?
(Continued from page 82)
Would it not add much to the comfort and convenience oi most oi
us as well as to our economic well-being if we knew how to care
ior and repair the many mechanical appliances which are in use
in all modern homes?
Has not type-writing come to be almost as important ior many
people as hand-writing? It is not only a means of earning a liveli-
hood for many; it is a great time saver for all who have any con-
siderable amount of writing to do. (Woodrow Wilson composed his
principal state papers and all his notable public addresses on his
own typewriter.) And is not shorthand a great time saver for many
who do not use it as a means of earning a livelihood?
Applied arts can contribute significantly not only to the economic
comfort and well-being, but also to the natural, wholesome recrea-
tional interests of all normal individuals and groups.

II. EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY
Thos. W. Steen, Chairman
Olivia B. Dean W. B. Higgins
Russell Dahlbeck K. M. Kennedy
Edna Stoneburner
The courses offered in this division are both "content" courses,
of interest to all, and specialized courses of greatest value to teach-
ers and other professional workers.
The offerings in psychology are all content courses.
MrNOR: A minor in Education requires twenty- four semester
hours to consist of professional education courses 1, 5, 16, 91, 107,
110, 133, 134 (or 135, 136), 171, 172 (or 173-174), 180.
For instruction regarding teacher education and certification,
both state and denominational, see pages 57 to 64.
1,2. General Psychology Both semesters, two or jour hours
An introduction to the study of the problems of human be-
havior, and of the mental processes and their development. This
is a foundation course designed to help the student understand and
explain the behavior of others and thereby be better able to predict
and control his own life and influence the lives of others.
4. The Study Laboratory Second semester, one hour
External conditions favorable for study; the preparation of an
assignment; making an effective schedule for study; the techniques
of note taking; the use of the library; techniques for increasing
speed and comprehension in reading. Each student will be carried
through a complete, individual counseling program.
5. Introduction to Teaching Second semester } two hours
An introductory course in the principles and problems of
teaching; a discussion of the teacher's school and community rela-
tionships; professional ethics; a study of the teaching career with
numerous opportunities for observation of classroom teaching.
9. Children's Literature First semester, two hours
It is the purpose of this course to give the student a survey of
the field of children's literature, and to provide him with ample
opportunity to observe the teaching of reading and literature in
the elementary school. This course does not count on the four hour
literature requirement for baccalaureate degrees.
WHY STUDY PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION?
Know thyself! This is about the best counsel ever given by
poet or prophet, or sage.
The purpose of our courses in psychology is to aid the student
in understanding himself, those with whom he will be associated,
and people in general. The success of the physician, the minister,
the teacher, and of all others whose work is largely personal, is
dependent today to an ever increasing degree on his ability to
understand the complex psychological factors that determine one's
so-called personality. It is no longer physical and mental ability
or even the extent of preparation that in the end makes fox
success, but rather one's ability to understand and work with
other people.
The courses in such subjects as Principles of Education, for
example, are not only required in the programs for the prepara-
tion of teachers and ministers, but are also of unquestioned
value for those who are to become parents, or church officers, or to
bear other responsibility for the education and guidance of our
youth.
Do you need help in choosing a life companion? What are the
considerations that should be taken into account in making this
very important decision. Courses in psychology and education
can help you by demonstrating effectively that one's emotions
can easily throw his judgment out of gear if he isn't on guard.
Our college offers help in preparing its students for a happy
home life. Do you know that in nine cases out of nine-and-a-half
you will be a father or a mother. Are you ready for that? Don't
think that the wisdom of a parent will drop upon you as the
gentle dew from heaven. You have to learn it; you have to earn it.
Think a minute! If you require training as a minister, or a
teacher, or a nurse, or a doctor, or an auto mechanic, or a
gardener, all of which are simple things in comparison with being
a father or a mother, how can you succeed in this most delicate
and difficult role of parent, unless you receive training for it?
Do you know that a course is offered to prepare you for parent-
hood?
Do you need help in choosing a life work? Maybe you aim to
be a preacher of righteousness, maybe a teacher of truth. Perhaps
you will be a physician and surgeon, or a nurse, relieving the
ills of mankind. You may be a business man, or a secretary.
Or you may follow the career of a farmer, or a mechanic, or a
clerk, or a housewife. You may go across the seas, to carry the
gospel to the heathen by one means or another, according to
your talents and interests and capabilities.
Our Education courses prepare you to take full advantage of
our counseling service in making your final choice.

to give one year's advance notice of this new program.
WHY STUDY THE FINE ARTS?
The fine arts provide a means of communication which all men
understand. And the urge to create is all but universal. This
urge finds expression at its best in a Shakespeare sonnet, in a
Handel oratorio, in a Michaelangelo mural, in a St. Gaudens
statue, or in a Taj Mahal or a George Washington Bridge.
The courses offered in the Division of Fine Arts, though limited
in number, have been planned to meet the needs of:
1. All students who desire to learn, while in college, to under-
stand the part the Fine Arts play in the cultural life of our lime and
2. All who plan to prepare, after college days are over, to
become practicing artists.
The aim is to make art a stimulating experience in the world's
work today, an effective expression of life itself. Aesthetics must
be clarified and made real — music, poetry, painting, sculpture,
ceramics, architecture are not made to appear as separate sub-
jects. Collectively they must provide the functional and the founda-
tion experiences which students need if they are to explore
the wide circle of human emotion and endeavor.
Until the invention of printing the arts constituted an important
avenue, apart from direct speech, of conveying ideas to the*
masses. They have been a humanizing influence linking us with
the past and giving realistic 'common touch" with all human
history. They have made for continuity of culture.
Holy Writ ascribes significant importance to music as it spans
history from the time when the "morning stars sang together/ 1
to the day when the redeemed of the Lord sing the "song of
Moses, the servant oi God, and the song of the Lamb." As a
source of listening pleasure, as an inspiration to solo and group
performance, as the basis of theoretical study and research, and
as a welding influence in home, church, school and community
affairs, music may be woven into the entire fabric of human life.
To the college student these facts should be of primary signifi-
cance- An essential element in a liberal arts education is to
develop an understanding and appreciation of the arts and to
stimulate creative ability. If this does not become a vital part
of college life it will not become a vital part of life itself. In
that pense such an education suffers a great lack of essentia]
perspective. The complex society of the present day sorely needs
the humanizing influence of the arts, and the college graduate
can supply much of that need in the area of his service only
if he has equipped himself to that end.
The fine arts include architecture, painting, sculpture, ceramics,
music, etc.

MUSIC
The aim of this subdivision is to provide for the student an
emotional outlet and a means of self expression through forms of
beauty and to prepare him for living a fuller life individually, social-
ly, and professionally.
Southern Missionary College offers two curriculums in music
leading either to the degree Bachelor of Arts with music as a major
(for a suggested outline of courses see page 52), or to the degree
Bachelor of Music Education (see page 53). The degree Bachelor
of Arts with music as a major is designed to stress a broad general
education; the degree Bachelor of Music Education is designed to
stress specialized areas pertinent to the training of music teachers
in the schools.
In determining the student's qualifications for admission to
one of the degree courses in this subdivision, it is imperative that he
demonstrate sufficient ability and skill to pursue successfully both the
core of the curriculum and the courses in other academic fields. A
jury will administer examinations in determining his levels of
musical attainment. Entrance rcquiremests and standards of attain-
ment are based upon the approved curriculums of the National
Association of Schools of Music.
A complete curriculum for the degree Bachelor of Music
Education is outlined fully on page 53.
Majors A major in Music requires thirty-two hours distributed
as follows: Sixteen hours in theory; four hours in history of music;
twelve hours in one field of performance with option to elect two
of these twelve hours in a related performance area. See "Perform-
ance Requirements" for further information.
Students majoring in Music are required to participate in
ensemble activities.
Minor: Those wishing to minor in piano, voice, or organ
must meet the same entrance requirements as stated for the major
field. A minor in Music consists of twenty hours, including eight
hours in one of the offered fields of performance, six hours in
Harmony 45-46, four hours in History of Music 141-142, and two
hours in electives from the upper biennium.

Four years of pure arts and science work may
create a distaste for vocation, while four years of
exclusively technical work may mean arrested de-
velopment if not atrophy of culture. The assump-
tion that the cultural and the vocational are mutu-
ally exclusive in education is absurd. The real an-
tagonism is between a culture remote from life,
which despises work, and a vocational training
which has no time for culture.
— Albert Duncan Yocum
WHY STUDY THE ART OF SPEAKING AND WRITING?
Language is the greatest invention of the human race; it is one
of the most precious of all our cultural heritages.
Have you ever thought of the mighty power of words and "fine
phrases" to breed love or hate in the home, in the school, in the
community, in the nation, in the world? Words and "fine pharses"
can bring peace or war, Dante's Paradiseo or his Inferno.
The chief requisite of language is that it be pure and kind and
true, the outward grace of an inward spirit. — Ellen G. White.
If you would know the real importance of learning to write and
speak with clarity, effectiveness, and some measure of artistry, read
what follows:
The most useful instrument any teacher can acquire for all kinds
of academic purposes is correct and effective English. — William C.
Bagley.
I recognize but one mental acquisition as an essential part of
the education of a lady or a gentlemen — namely, an accurate and
refined use of the mother tongue. — Charles W. Eliot.
The greatest of our language faults is to be conscious of none. —
Thomas Carlyle.
When I have something to write, I write it as well as I can and
then I keep on re-writing it until it offends me no more. — Henry
James.
One can learn immediately from any speaker how much he has
lived by the poverty or the splendor of his language. — Ralph Waldo
Emerson.
Let me at least be clear; then if I am wrong I can be corrected. —
William C. Bagley.
Colorful language is effective language because it commands
attention. — Ambrose L. Suhrie.
The flowering moments of the mind drop half their petals in our
speech. — Oliver W. Holmes.
No man can give a truly spiritual interpretation to any of our
great literary classics unless he has a cultivated voice. — Hiram W.
Corson.
Eloquence, like swimming, is an art which all men might learn,
though so few do. — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Without a trained voice no leader in public worship can so vocal-
ize the great literature of the Bible as effectively to suggest its
spiritual power. — Byron W. King.
The poet is the interpreter of the beauty of the universe. The
speech of God is a foreign language to the great masses of the
world; the poet stands in the Courtroom of Time and translates the
words into understandable phrases. — Wilson McDonald.
Only the men and women who are acquainted with the great
literary masterpieces of all languages in all ages are prepared for
world citizenship. — William Peterfield Trent

ENGLISH
Major: A major in English requires thirty-two hours. It shall
include four hours of speech, four hours of lower biennium literature,
and fourteen hours of upper biennium literature and composition.
In addition, English history or its equivalent is required. Other
history courses are to be selected in consultation with the stu-
dent's major professor. It is recommended that English majors
elect French as their foreign language because of the extensive
influence it has exerted upon both the vocabulary and literature of
the English-speaking peoples. It is further recommended that all
English majors take courses in history of music and art.
Minor: A minor in English requires twenty semester hours —
four hours of lower biennium literature and at least six hours of
upper biennium literature. Four hours of either speech or news
writing may apply on the minor.
1-2. Freshman Composition Both semesters, six hours
Admission to English I depends upon the student's satisfactory
performance in the entrance examination sections on mechanics -and
effectiveness of expression. No grade will be given for Freshman
Composition unless the student has achieved a satisfactory score in
reading speed and comprehension. See the remedial courses below.
Attention, All Students, Especially Sophomores!
Realizing that a good reader and a good writer and speaker
are at an advantage in any college class and in any profession, .am-
bitious students in any year may wish to sign up for elective
credit in either REMEDIAL GRAMMAR OR REMEDIAL READ-
ING, or both. Sophomores who want to be sure of passing the
English promotion tests at the end of the year and those who failed
the first time should take one or both of these classes.
01. Remedial Grammar First semester, one hour elective credit
Students who do not pass the English placement tests, sections
on mechanics and effectiveness of expression, are required to register
for this class, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays concurrently
118 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
with one of the Freshman English sections. Those who fail the test
will be registered temporarily for the Freshman Composition class.
At the end of three weeks a second placement test will be given, after
which those who pass will drop remedial grammar and become per-
manent members of the Freshman Composition group, and those
who fail again will drop Freshman Composition and continue v.ith
Remedial Grammar. Those who take Remedial Grammar all semes-
ter and pass will be given one hour of elective credit — credit, that
is, which will not apply towards the English requirements for gradu-
ation. Students who do not pass in one semester will have to repeat

The object of education — to restore in man the

— Ellen G. White
WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW SCIENCE?
All thoughtful people in every age of the world's history have
observed that the Ruler of the Universe is a God of system and
order. All true science is but an interpretation of the hand writing
of God in the material world.
The fundamental sciences are Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and
Mathematics. A knowledge of these sciences is basic in all such
professions as Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry, and
Nursing — and is useful in all others.
The influence of chemistry is and has been felt throughout all
nature and all time. Every pulsation of life within all living things
is a manifestation of some chemical principle which governs the
process of nutrition, and the utilization and discard of the elements
necessary for life. In a similar manner the utilization of all of the
resources, from our forests, and our farms, from the sea and the
air, and from deposits in the earth are converted from their natural
and raw state to other more usable forms, all by the application
of the principles of applied chemistry.
As we have learned more about chemistry and have come better
to understand its principles, we have been able to achieve great
improvements in clothing, housing, health, tools, transportation,
communication, and many other things too numerous to mention.
There is practically no field in which the application of chemistry
does not at some time make a contribution.
Physics and mathematics are basic to all developments in
architecture and engineering. What is heat? Light? Electricity?
What is atomic energy? And what are the practical uses of each
of these things? How does a knowledge of the laws of physics and
chemistry contribute to our well being in general and to the
comforts of life in particular?
Likewise, a knowledge of biology and bacteriology is basic
to the scientific study of medicine, dentistry, and the art ol
healing in all its aspects. The discovery by Pasteur that germs,
invisible to the eye, are the cause of many of our most devastat-
ing "plagues" and diseases ushered in a revolution in the practice
of medicine.
And a knowledge of the laws of growth is essential to the
scientific study of education and child development. David, Solo-
mon, and all ol the other truly wise men of all ages have been
diligent students of nature.
Even if you are not planning to be a scientist or to practice
a profession which is based on scientific principles, you should
remember that you cannot live comfortably in our modern world
without the elementary scientific concepts which make it possible
to read and understand modern magazines and the daily papers
with some degree of understanding and appreciation.

V. NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS
G. J. Nelson, Chairman
H. H. Kuhlman
The Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is organized
for the purpose of giving training in the fundamental sciences of
biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Many of the courses
offered in these departments are basic for professional training in
medicine, dentistry, optometry, nursing, other medical-related pro-
fessions, and professional engineering and must be taken before en-
trance into the training for the chosen profession.
Training for professional careers in Biology, Chemistry, and
Physics 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 scientific discoveries, and the scientific method of thinking upon
our modern 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 evidences of the wisdom and power of God. Rightly under-
stood, both the book of nature and the written word make us ac-
quainted with God by teaching us something of the wise and benefi-
cent laws through which He works. " Ellen G. White: Patriarchs and
Prophets, page 599.
Major in Natural Sciences: This major is designed es-
pecially for teachers to enable them to receive a wider, more diversi-
fied training in the whole area of Natural Sciences. (Biological

VI. RELIGION AND APPLIED THEOLOGY
■, Chairman
Edward C. Banks Harry B. Lundquist
Richard Hammill Elmore J. McMurphy
Southern Missionary College, like all other Christian colleges
established by the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, came into
existence as a result of faith and sacrifice for the accomplishment of
a twofold purpose: the teaching of God's Word as the foundation of
all true education and the training of Christian young people to per-
form the work of the church.
The teaching of the Word of God as found in the Holy Bible,
rests in a special way and primarily upon the Division of Religion
and Applied Theology. To this sacred function this department is
dedicated.
It Is in the Bible that the greatest science is presented, the
science of salvation. In its sacred pages are found the true philosophy
of life and the meaning of human existence. Through a careful and
a sympathetic study of the Bible, human nature is changed, the mind
is strengthened, and the soul is recreated in the image of God; and

WHY STUDY THE BIBLE AND RELIGION?
Do you want to know what the Bible has for you?
Well, IT CAN TEACH YOU
1. That the Law of the Lord truly is perfect.
2. That the wages of sin surely is death.
3. That whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also surely
reap.
4. That the way of the transgressor truly is hard.
5. That the love of God for His children — for each of them and
for you — truly passeth all human understanding.
And IT HAS CONSOLATION FOR YOU, TOO, WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Listen for a brief moment to what Henry Van Dyke, the profound
Bible scholar, the inspiring preacher and teacher, the brilliant
statesman, the gifted poet and literary artist, and withal the man
of simple faith, has to say about this precious Book:
"Born in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery,
the Bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet and
enters land after land to find its own everywhere. It has learned
to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of man. Children
listen to its stories with wonder and delight and wise men ponder
them as parables of life. The wicked and the proud tremble at
its warnings, but to the wounded and penitent it has a mother's
voice. It has woven itself into our dearest dreams; so that love,
friendship, sympathy, devotion, memory, hope, put on the beautiful
garments of its treasured speech.
"NO MAN IS POOR OR DESOLATE WHO HAS THIS TREASURE
FOR HIS OWN.
"When the landscape darkens, and the trembling pilgrim comes
to the Valley named of the Shadow, he is not afraid to enter;
he takes the rod and the staff of Scripture in his hand; he says
to friend and comrade: "Goodbye; we shall meet again;" and,
comforted by that support, he goes toward the lonely pass as
one who walks through darkness into light."
The Old Testament gives us the story of a nation — of God's
chosen people — and of his leadership of and compassion for His
wayward and erring children; the New Testament gives us the
story of lesus, sent by the Father to be the Teacher and Savior
of mankind, (t also gives us the story of the plan of salvation and
the establishment and development of the early Christian church.
Religion is not a compartment of life. It IS life. Through a
careful and sympathetic study of the Bible, religion's textbook,
our human nature is changed and our souls are re-created in the
image of our Maker. The Bible is a personal communication from
Him. It carries a wide variety of counsels to meet a wide variety
of needs. In it inspired historians make the philosophy of history
plain; prophets speak as God's messengers; poets inspire; wise
men counsel; and great ministers preach. Religion is not a set
of doctrines. It is a study instinct with life — with energy and
power — derived from contemplating great themes and mighty
thoughts.
NO MAN CAN LIVE "THE ABUNDANT LIFE OF THE SPIRIT"
WITHOUT THE BIBLE AND RELIGION.

secure the intended result and are applied intel-
ligently.

HOW CAN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES ENRICH YOUR LIFE
AND ENHANCE YOUR USEFULLNESS?
Since the explosion of the atomic bomb over the city of Hiro-
shima, Japan in 1945, the fundamental problem confronting thought-
ful men everywhere is whether itelligence, reason and decency can
be strengthened sufficiently in the near future to win the "race be-
tween education and world catastrophe." Therefore, a broad and
a well-integrated knowledge of the social sciences is indispensable
to all who would dedicate themselves to the task of re-construct-
ing our modern world on such a pattern of decency that it may be
nourished by morality and governed under law.
The basic purpose of all study of the social sciences is a very
practical one for the reason that these studies are concerned with
both morals and the intellect. They aim to develop the "good" citi-
zen who is tolerant, understanding, humane, who believes in the
inherent freedom and dignity of the individual and in the equality
of men under God and under law. At least four unique contribu-
tions to the development of the "good" citizen can be made by the
social studies as follows:
(1) an introduction to the practice of intelligently evaluating
the past experience of the human race.
(2) a realization that change is inevitable,
(3) a knowledge that change does not always mean progress,
(4) and, the understanding that men in every age have struggled
with the same fundamental problems we face today.
The specific objectives of the Division of Social Sciences are
(1) to teach the providences of God in human history and there-
by encourage the student to apply divine ideals to all human re-
lationships,
(2) to foster respect for the great civilizations of the past and an
appreciation of every true social and political culture,
(3) to impart a working knowledge of scientific research techni-
ques and the ways in which they can be applied to the study of
man.
(4) to strengthen the sense of civic responsibility; this should
lead the student to participate more actively and intelligently in
the affairs of adult society (including the Student Association
on the college campus).
(5) and finally, to encourage the student to prepare himself and
others for the service of mankind here and for the life hereafter.

VII. SOCIAL SCIENCES
Leif Kr. Tobiassen, Chairman
H. T. Curtis Rupert Craig
The objectives of the Division of Social Sciences are to aid in
the application of divine ideals to all human relationships; to foster
an appreciation of true social and political culture, locally, nation-
ally, and internationally; to develop an intelligent understanding
of the relationship between history and Biblical prophecy; and to
prepare teachers in the social sciences.
The purpose of the social studies is to assist the student in
understanding the complexities of modern society and how the provi-
dence of God has influenced history. It Is designed to enable
him to prepare himself and others for the service of mankind here
and for the life hereafter.

has been so trained in youth that his body is the
ready servant of his will, and does with ease
and pleasure all the work that . . . it is capable
of; . . . one who . . . is full of life and fire,
but whose passions are trained to come to heel by
a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience;
who has learned to love all beauty, whether of
nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect
others as himself.

INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THE ABOVE SUMMARY
1. This summary is based upon: a monthly board bill of $35 which is average; a labor rate of 60 cents per hour
whereas rates vary from 40 cents to 90 cents; normal room rent, laundry, and medical fees, matriculation fees,
all laboratory fees, all rentals (music or secretarial), organization fees, graduation fees, library fee, etc. No books
or music lessons are computed into this summary.
2. The plans as presented are only approximate. With th'j great variance of board bills and labor rates a student's
cash obligation after labor deduction may vary considerably from this figure. The amount to be paid is that
called for by the period statements. The tuition for the first semester will be divided into four equal payments
beginning with the October statement. The tuition for the second semester will be divided into four equal pay-
ments beginning with the February statement. The General Fee will be charged on the initial statement after
entrance.
3. The figures shown as "Hours of Labor per Week" opposite Plans 3, 4, and 5 are the maximum allowed. Therefore
students below average in scholarship will be required to work less than the hours indicated.

SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 145
EXPENSES
Each student entering college, after having met the full
financial and labor requirement, 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 dollars for each
student enrolled.
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 student housing is $10. This deposit will appear to the
credit of the student at the time of his departure provided the accom-
modation is left in good order.
Since the deposit serves not only as a reservaton fee but also as
a guarantee that the accommodation will be left in good order, all
students registered and living in college housing will be charged this
deposit.
In case the student's application is not accepted, or if notice
of nonatrendance is given the college by August 15, the deposit
will be refunded.
LATE REGISTRATION
For late registration $5.00
See page 3 for statement of the exact day and hour when each
student is expected to present himself for testing and/or registration.
ADVANCE DEPOSIT AND MATRICULATION FEE
Advance guarantee deposits are required of all students includ-
ing veterans and those expecting colporteur or teaching scholarships.
The guarantee 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 withdrawal.
For a married couple, each enrolled for eight hours or more
of school work, the regular advance guarantee deposit will be re-
quired 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
guarantee deposit or general fee. However, a rental will be levied
for use of piano or organ.

such as caps and gowns, and diplomas, etc.
Tuition 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 President's council, the minimum course
load a student may carry is eight hours.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE l4l
The General Fee shall be charged on the first statement issued.
It shall include charges for lyceum programs, Southern Accent,
Southern Memories, student Association fee, library fee, matricula-
tion expense, 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 withdrawing on or before the completion of the first nine
weeks. No refund will be granted thereafter.
For thwose entering the second semester, the General Fee shall
be 70 per cent of the yearly charge, except for those taking three
hours or less, who will be charged the full yearly rate. A 25% re-
fund will be given to those withdrawing during the first five weeks
of the second semester.
MUSIC TUITION
The charge for any private music instruction is $24.00 per
semester, or $48.00 for the year, for a minimum of 15 lessons per
semester. This charge is made in eight installments of $6.00 each,
in the same manner as the regular tuition. Tn 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 lessens missed because
of the student's absence.
Students who enroll late, or who withdraw before the end of
the semester, are charged at the rate of $1.60 per week up to a
maximum of $24.00 for one lesson a week. Withdrawal is made
by means of a drop voucher obtained at the registrar's office.
BOARD CHARGES
The cafeteria plan of boarding is used, which allows the student
the privilege of choosing his food and paying only for what he
selects. The minimum monthly charge for dormitory students is
$17.00. This covers a full calendar month. Board charges for students
vary greatly. The average monthly charge for January and February
of the past school year was $40.00 for boys and $30.00 for girls.
During the same months, individual charges varied from $17.00 to
$66.12 for boys and from $17.00 to $48.92 for girls.
No reduction of the minimum charge is made for absence
from the campus except for specified vacations of one week or more,
and in cases of emergency. Three meals a day are served. Students
148 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
living in the residence halls are expected to take their meals in the
dining room.
MARRIED STUDENTS' HOUSING
The College provides approximately one-hundred apartments,
including trailers, for married students. These range in size from
one room to four rooms — a few are furnished. Rents range from
$15 per month to $40 per month. Prospective students are invited
to write to the Business Manager for details. A reservation fee of
$10 is charged. This is refunded on the student's final statement
of the school year pending satisfactory clearance of housing.
There are fifty or more private owned apartments in the Col-
legedale community. These also are available to students. Informa-
tion may be supplied by the Business Manager upon request.
RENT IN RESIDENCE HALLS
A room charge of $16.00 per calendar month is made to each
student residing in a school home. The rate for rooms with adjoining
bath is $18.00 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 reasons.
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
rendered will be entered on the student's account to be settled
monthly. There is no minimum charge.
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 may be made for each student to have
charged to his account ten per cent of his school earnings for tithe,
and two per cent for church expense. These funds are then trans-
ferred by the college to the treasurer of the Collegedale Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 149
FUND FOR PERSONAL EXPENSES
Students should be provided with sufficient funds, in addition
to money for school expenses, to cover cost of books, clothing, and
all personal items. They may open deposit accounts at the business
office, subject to withdrawal in person only, and these funds are
available at any time, as long as there is a credit remaining of what
the student has deposited. These deposit accounts are entirely sepa-
rate from the regular students' expense accounts.
At the beginning of each semester, a student may secure from
the business office a store voucher which may be used at the store
for the purchase of books. All other purchases from the college store
or from other departments on the campus are made only by cash.
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. This
billing is subject to discount when paid by the 15th of the following
month. The gross billing is due on the 25th of the same month.
Should a student's account be unpaid by the 5th of the succeeding
month, he is automatically dropped from class attendance until satis-
factory arrangements are made.
EXAMPLE OF CREDIT POLICY
Period covered by statement October 1-31
Approximate date of billing November 5
Discount period ends November 15
Gross amount due November 25
Class attendance severed if still unpaid December 5
This schedule of payment must be maintained since the budget
is based upon the 100 per cent collection of student charges within
the 30-day period following date of billing.
Transcripts of credits and diplomas are issued only when stu-
dents' accounts are paid in full.
STUDENT LABOR REGULATIONS
Believing in the inspired words that "systematic labor should
constitute 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." 1 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 edu-
cation, participation in the work program is graded, and a report
thereon is issued to him. This grade is based upon the following:
Ability to learn Leadership and Initiative
Quality of work Punctuality
Quantity of work Integrity
Safety habits Dependability
Interest Efficiency
Cooperation and Compatibility
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
available 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 recommend-
ed 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 super-
intendent. In cases of illness, he will also inform the health
service. Any student who desires to terminate his regularly sched-
uled work program or transfer to another work department may
be required to give two weeks' advance notice to his work super-
intendent. Failure to comply with this regulation will constitute
grounds for suspension from class attendance until he returns to
work or is excused therefrom.
BIRTH CERTIFICATE
All students who expect to work and are under twenty years
1. Ellen G. White, Education, p. 217, Mountain View, California, Paci-
fic Press Publishing Association, 1903.
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 151
of age must present a Birth Certificate upon registration. This certi-
ficate must be left on file in the Business Manager's office. No stu-
dent will be permitted to work untU the Bkth Certificate is on file
at the college. This is imperative tinder the laws of th^e State of
Tennessee.
WORK PERMIT
Whenever a student fifteen years of age or under is accepted,
the parent or guardian is supplied a Tennessee Employment Certifi-
cate. This must be signed and on file at the College before a student
may start work.
COLPORTEUR BONUS
That students might have adequate work opportunities of a
profitable nature (both financially and spiritually) during the sum-
mer 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 selling Bibles and denominational books or mag-
azines.
Students may make arrangements with one of the several Bible
houses to sell books or magazines in a designated territory. The
commission 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 commission the organizations 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 S.M.C for
educational purposes of student colporteur 1,000.00
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:
152
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
Divide sum turned over to Bible House by student colpor-
teur by .70 ($700 divided by .70 equals $1,000) and the
quotient equals the amount deposited to the student's
credit at the College. Subtract from this total the commis-
sions ($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:
1. 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 stu-
dent colporteurs as actually use both commissions and
bonus for educational expenses at S.M.C.
(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 conferences of the Southern Union Conference,
awards eleven $50 cash scholarships to be applied on tuition: S25
at the end of the first semester and $25 at the end of the second
The following schools are eligible to participate in this plan:
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 con-
ference, for final approval. The selection of nominees is based on
character, scholarship, personality, and promise of future leadership.
EDUCATIONAL FUND
Many young people are deprived of the privilege of attending
college because of a Jack of necessary means. To aid these, an
earnest effort has been made to obtain donations for the establish-
ment of an education fund, from which students worthy of help
may borrow money for a reasonable length of time. Faithfulness in
SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE 153
refunding these loans will make it possible for the same money to
assist many students in school. There have been some gifts, and they
have been used to help several young men and women complete their
work in this college. But the needs of worthy students have been
greater than the funds on hand; 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 College was first started, there was a fund placed in the
Review and Herald office for the benefit of those who wished to
obtain an education, but had not the means. This was used by
several students until they could get a good start; then from their
earnings they would replace what they had drawn, so that others
might be benefited by the fund. The youth should have it plainly
set before them that they must work their own way as far as possible
and thus partly defray their expenses. That which costs little will
be appreciated little. But that which costs a price somewhere near
its real value will be estimated accordingly." — Testimonies, Vol. VI,
pages 213, 214.
Nurses' Scholarship Plan: In response to the heavy demand
for trained nurses, the Southern Union Conference, the Florida
Sanitarium and the Southern Missionary College have worked out a
cooperative scholarship plan for young people who can qualify
for nursing and who desire to take the year of prenursing at
Southern Missionary College and then complete their nurses' train-
ing at the Florida Sanitarium at Orlando.
Young people who are accepted on this scholarship plan will
be credited with $75.00 at the end of the first semester and another
S75. 00 at the end of the second semester of their prenursing year
at Southern Missionary College. For each $75.00 granted the student
will sign a promissory note for that amount to the institution con-
cerned. Upon successful graduation of the student from the Florida
154 SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE
Sanitarium and Hospital School of Nursing these notes will be
destroyed. In case the student for any reason d : scontinues the
nurses' training program the notes already signed become payable
at once.
This plan is designed to encourage qualified young people,
whose financial support otherwise would be inadequate, to enter
this field of preparation and service. Young people interested in
this plan should address inquiries to the Dean of Southern Mis-
sionary College.

FRIENDLY COUNSEL
Every individual student in SMC is expected to
meet all his financial obligations to the college
(and to the college classes and societies to which
he belongs) on time and in a responsible manner.
This requirement is an important element in his
training for responsible citizenship.
If an unfortunate set of circumstances makes it
impossible for a student to meet his financial
obligations on time and in a satisfactory manner
he should take up the matter well in advance of
the due date with the Assistant Business Manager
who is frequently asked by letter or phone to give
a financial rating to the individual college stu-
dent (either while in college or afterwards).
He is always happy when he can give a student,
or a former student, a high rating for dependa-
bility in matters financial.
To avoid getting in debt every student should
study his spending habits and try to increase his
earning capacity by faithful adherence to his work
schedule and by the successful performance of
all his work assignments.
