6 ATHENS COLLEGE
LOCATION
Alliens College is located in the City of Athens, Alabama, twenty miles west of
the city of Huntsville, research center for America's space program. It lies
midway between Nashville, Tennessee, and Birmingham, Alabama, in the foot-
hills of the Cumberland Mountains. Athens is the seat of Limestone County and
is served by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, by modern buslines on Federal
highways 31 and 72, and by three major airlines; United, Eastern, and Southern
Airways.
HISTORY OF ATHENS COLLEGE
Athens College was founded in 1822, three years after the admission of Alabama
into the Union. It is the oldest chartered institution of high learning in the state.
At its beginning, the citizens of Athens purchased five acres of land, erected a
building, and established the Athens Female Academy. Twenty years later, the
people of Athens raised an endowment and expanded the academy into a four-year
college.
In January 1843, the legislature of the state granted a charter incorporating the
college as the Athens Female Institute of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the
Methodist Church. When the North Alabama Conference was organized in 1870,
the property was transferred to it and has remained so affiliated until the present
time.
The institution became co-educational in 1931, and subsequently the name was
changed to Athens College. Since 1822, however, the College has continued its
program without interruption through epidemics, wars, and depressions. Notably
did the college continue classes while Athens was under siege from the Federal
troops during the War between The States. From the second floor windows of
historic Founders Hall, the students were able to watch the Battle for Athens in
progress. In spite of the siege, the College sustained no damage and student life
continued unmolested.
Athens College has had twenty-four presidents since its founding. Men and
women of moral stature and wisdom have guided it from the beginning. Many of
the College graduates have risen to become leaders in industry, business, education,
and religion in this country and around the world. There is an understandable
pride in its 143 year heritage and in its truly modern program of education that
continues to prepare young men and women for leadership in many areas of en-
deavor.
ATHENS COLLEGE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of Athens College are fivefold. First, it seeks to offer to worthy
and qualified students a liberal arts or a pre-professional education under fully
qualified teachers who believe in their disciplines and in the American culture.
Second, it seeks to train men and women to assume an enlightened view of our
society and to prepare them for professional, cultural, and spiritual leadership in
their communities and in our nation. Third, it seeks to prepare students for the
assumption of a profitable professional life with a terminal degree on baccalaureate
level or for advanced study in professional or graduate schools. Fourth, it seeks
to train under the most modern methods qualified teachers for elementary and
secondary school teaching. Finally, it seeks to provide adults with opportunities
for continuing education and to improve their status within their present profes-
sional environment or within their communities at large.
The College in its recruitment seeks to bring together teachers and students of
differing social, economic, regional, and cultural backgrounds. Through the ming-
ling of this heterogenous group, experience is broadened and horizons opened.
Thus the student is in a varied environment in which he can grow and change and
become prepared to take his place in a varied society with poise and assurance.
GENERAL INFORMATION 7
BUILDINGS OF THE COLLEGE
FOUNDERS HALL— Started in 1842 and completed in 1844, this building is
a majestic structure that has become the focal point and the visual trademark of
the college. Its facade is graced by four magnificent Ionic columns which stu-
dents have named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The main wing contains a
reception parlor and a guest suite restored to its antebellum beauty. Three wings
have been added to the building, and these provide space for classrooms, adminis-
trative offices, library, and other functional areas. The Department of the Interior
of the United States has listed Founders Hall in the Historic Survey of Buildings
to be preserved.
N. H. WATERS SCIENCE BUILDING— The N. W. Waters Science Building
houses the science laboratories, and provides additional office and classroom space.
The building is one of the most modernly equipped science buildings in the region.
BROWN HALL — Built in 1909 as a memorial to Miss Sarah Frances Brown,
this building with its Corinthian columns serves as a residence hall for students.
Recently Brown Hall has been completely remodeled as a phase of the develop-
ment program of the College.
McCANDLESS HALL — Erected in 1912 by local citizens and the North Alabama
Conference of the Methodist Church, this building is a memorial to a former
director of music, Miss Kate Leslie McCandless. The building has a large audi-
torium, equipped with a pipe organ and a stage, and seats approximately three
hundred fifty. Studios and classrooms , are provided for the drama and music
departments.
McCAIN HALL — Occupied in the fall of 1962, this building is of contemporary
colonial design. It houses 85 women students in twenty-five two-room suites. The
suites consist of a study room and a bedroom with adjoining bath. A kitchenette,
snack bar and facilities are also provided.
SANDERS HALL — This three-story brick dormitory was built in 1924 as a
memorial to W. T. Sanders, former president of the Board of Trustees. The dormi-
tory accommodates eighty-six men, with each floor having three baths, showers and
a small laundry room. An attractive parlor graces the first floor of the dormitory.
HOUSTON HALL — This two-story dormitory for men is joined as a wing on
the north of Founders Hall. It provides accommodations for twenty-five men.
NAYLOR HALL — A small dormitory located just south of McCandless Hall,
it provides dormitory and social living space for 30 students. Its spacious lower
level houses The College Book Store.
THE ATHENS COLLEGE LIBRARY— This two-story brick building, erected
in 1946, adjoins Founders Hall. The book collection now totals about 40,000
volumes, with annual additions averaging 3,000. Over 200 periodicals are received
through purchase and gift subscriptions. The library also houses a large collection
of phonograph records for use in music, speech, and drama courses.
Efforts are made to make the library an integral part of the student's life. Books
and periodicals in the open stacks are available to all students. Instruction is given
to the freshman on the organization of the library, the use of reference books, the
cards catalog, and the READER'S GUIDE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE;
and the best source materials in each area of study of the liberal arts program.
Materials unavailable at Athens College may be borrowed from other libraries on
the inter-library loan plan.
During 1955-1956 definite steps were taken toward building a collection of items
of local historical interest, including letters, manuscripts and other materials.
8 ATHENS COLLEGE
A valuable and extensive collection of scientific books and journals are found
in the Science library. This special collection was donated from the private library
of Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael of Birmingham. Materials are continually added to
it, making it an up-to-date source of scientific and technological literature.
HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION CENTER— Completed in 1965, this
building contains seating for more than 3,000 persons, as well as classrooms, offices,
equipment rooms. It also contains an official competitive-sized swimming pool with
spectator gallery. The college also has an athletic field and all-weather tennis courts
adjacent to the center. The completion of the track and field sports area is pro-
jected for 1966.
COLLEGE DINING HALL — A spacious and modern dining facility for resi-
dential students and guests was opened in 1965. It is operated full time by the
Director of Food Services.
COLLEGE BOOK STORE— Located in the lower level of Naylor Hall, the book
store carries a full line of college textbooks, best seller and popular paperbacks,
instructional and educational materials. It is the most complete book store in
northern Alabama. It also carries clothing and other incidentals to service student
needs.
COLLEGE STUDENT CENTER— A center for student activities located adjacent
to the College Dining Hall. The center offers recreational and social facilities for the
students of the college. Its snack bar provides an attractive gathering place for resi-
dential and commuter students.
The college owns a number of faculty houses and apartments as well as other
buildings used for storage and maintenance equipment and personnel.
All buildings on the campus have undergone extensive renovations and are care-
fully maintained. All residential and instructional buildings are air-conditioned to
provide a comfortable living and instructional environment.
Future planning includes the addition of more dormitories, a new library build-
ing, and additional buildings for the physical and natural sciences.
STUDENT LIFE
All students activities other than the academic program are under the supervision
of the Dean of Students. Student organizations must be authorized by and operate
under the supervision of the faculty and administration. The Committee on Student
Life, composed of students and faculty members, is designed to promote student
welfare on campus.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The Student Government Association, authorized by the College administration,
embraces the entire student body. Based upon democratic procedure, the association
places responsibilities for enforcement of regulations and for safeguarding of
standards upon the individual. The association encourages community cooperation
and the development of good citizenship.
CONDUCT OF STUDENTS
Students, when they matriculate at Athens College, are expected to behave as
responsible men and women at all times and in all places, to respect the rights and
privileges of their instructors and fellow students, and to attend faithfully to their
work. The College may at any time dismiss any student whose conduct is in its
judgment detrimental to the welfare of the institution.
Attendance at Athens College is a privilege and not a right. Any student deemed
undesirable may be refused registration or may be requested to withdraw from the
college at any time. Specific regulations governing student life are found in The
"A" Book, the student handbook.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE
In 1966, three national social sororities have been chartered on the Athens
College campus: Zeta Tau Alpha, Phi Mu, and Sigma Kappa. Each sorority
carries out its respective national principles in social congeniality, moral and
mental standards, leadership development service, and outlet for creativity.
At present, five fraternity local groups are operating and working toward charter-
ing by national fraternities. These groups are a source of good fellowship, social
outlet, athletic competition, and scholarship development. The college provides
housing for these groups, but future plans are directed toward individual housing
development.
ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Athens College participates in intercollegiate basketball, tennis, and golf com-
petition. It is an active member of the NAIA and has in recent years fielded an
outstanding basketball team. Enlargement of the intercollegiate program to include
other sports is planned for the near future.
INTRAMURAL AND RECREATION PROGRAM
An intramural program for men and women is carried out by the Department
of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics. Individual competition for
men and women is available in campus-wide tournaments in such sports as tennis,
golf, volley-ball, badminton, archery, swimming, and others. In late spring, Awards
Day recognizes athletic excellence through presentation of awards and trophies,
both individual and group.
ORIENTATION WEEK
New students arrive on campus a few days prior to registration. During this
period students participate in social activities planned by upper-class students, be-
come acquainted with college life, and meet roommates and faculty members. Each
freshman is assigned to an orientation group leader who asissts whenever possible
in helping the student to become acclimated to the new experiences and demands
of college life. Later in the orientation period the student takes a series of tests
designated to assist in guidance and placement. The student is then assigned a
faculty adviser who aids him in planning his academic schedule, taking into con-
sideration test data and his high school record.
THE TESTING PROGRAM
Upon entering the College, each student is given placement tests to determine his
ability levels and background in specific areas of study, as provided by the College
Entrance Examination Board. Students are also given Gradutae Record Examina-
tions (GRE) at stated intervals throughout their college career. The GRE is pro-
vided by the Educational Testing Service, Inc., of Princeton, New Jersey, to measure
students' growth on a national level as they proceed through their curriculum of
study. Special examinations for prospective graduate students are available on
application submitted to the Office of the Dean.
The student scoring within the upper ten percentile of any placement examina-
tion is granted advanced standing in that course. He thus fulfills the required
proficiencv level in the area and is permitted to by-pass the basic courses and move
into advanced sections immediately.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
In keeping with the Methodist-related status of the College and pursuant to the
tenets of Christian objectives in higher education of the Church-related college,
Athens College has a regularly scheduled convocation service. Convocation services
are held for the entire student body on a bi-weekly basis and all students are re-
quired to attend. The program of the convocation is designed to be both religiously
and intelectuallv stimulating.

to the Christian student who wishes to pursue his religious motivations into areas
of service. These organizations have Christian ministers as consultants and advisers.

THE COLLEGE PROGRAM
•
In keeping with the announced objectives of Athens College, a revised College
program has developed. It will provide the opportunity for the student to move
through his college career at a speed commensurate with his potential and demon-
strated ability. Instruction in depth, one of the academic features of the program,
affords the less capable student of additional instruction with trained tutors in
individual conferences or in small group sessions. Thus the student is given addi-
tional patient and intensified teaching to develop his capabilities.
THE TRIMESTER SYSTEM
During 1964-65, an intensive study of the academic system was completed and a
determination was made to change the academic program to the trimester system.
Since there is ample time for three equal semesters, or trimesters, of 15 weeks'
duration in each college year, September 1965 will inaugurate the program on a
continuing basis. The fall and winter trimesters are closely allied with the high
school, preparatory school, and college semesters. The fall trimester begins in early
October and ends in late January; the winter trimester begins in February and ends
in early June; and the Summer trimester, equal in length to the others, begins in
early June and ends in late September.
For the summer trimester, the buildings, both academic and living, are air-con-
ditioned, thus providing student and faculty a comfortable atmosphere in which to
work and study. Vacation periods are provided in each trimester, including two
weeks at Christmas, one week near Easter, and a period over the Labor Day holiday.
The Trimester System makes it possible for the student to fulfill requirements
for a degree and graduate in less than three years instead of the usual four, if he
chooses to do so. The Trimester System also makes possible a reduced schedule of
studies by which a student may take 10 hours work each term and still complete
degree requirements in the four year period. In the Night Division, the student
undertaking a full course of study will be able to complete his degree requirements
in four years of study.
Under the Trimester System at Athens, every core course is offered every trimester.
Thus a student can enter in any of the terms and still be certain that the courses
he needs will be offered during the trimester that he needs them.
THE COLLEGE CURRICULUM
A revision of the curriculum resulted in a reduction of the number of courses
offered by the College. By eliminating courses of highly specialized nature or those
of limited scope, the curriculum offers a truly sound basic education in all the
disciplines in its program of studies.
GENERAL INFORMATION 15
Survey courses in all major areas of general knowledge cover the first four tri-
mesters of the lower division. These courses cover a basic core commensurate
with the objectives of a liberal arts education in the arts, the sciences, and in the
social sciences.
In the upper division, the student selects his major field of study from
the various departments of the College. Major courses of study are available in
Art, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Economics, English, French, Ger-
man, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Physical Education, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Religion. In the Department of Edu-
cation, both Elementary and Secondary certification are available.
Each trimester in the Upper Division, the student should take a minimum of
two courses in the department of his major field and no more than three courses
in one or more of the other departments. The student is thus provided five coursse
each trimester for eight trimesters. With proper scheduling, the student will ex-
perience no gaps in his educational background and will be fully prepared to enter
into productive professional life or into further study at the graduate level.
Students whose rate of progress is less accelerated or whose preparatory back-
ground is deficient will be required to carry less than the standard load of courses
and will also be assigned tutorial assistance, at no extra charge, to work with him
until he reaches the standard proficiency level.
In most of the basic courses, the student meets in class five times each week.
Three of these sessions are lecture and two of them are discussion sections made up
of small groups. Additional tutorial sessions are required of all students who are
doing work below the "C" level until a proficiency level is reached. Further, indi-
vidual faculty members are available to the student at any time for purposes of
academic consultation and advice.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students with fewer than 60 credit hours of college work are classified in the
Lower Division of the College. Application for Upper Division of the College must
be made in the Sophomore year.
A 1.00 grade-point average is required for acceptance in the Upper Division.
Not withstanding the above provisions, students may also be required to satisfy
proficiency in English and Mathematics to enter the Upper Division.
Students completing the Lower Division with a grade point below standard level
may continue as an Unclassified Student. These students will be required to repeat
previous course work to bring them to prescribed levels.
Transfer students will be accepted as Lower Division students or as Unclassified
students, measured by fewer or by more than sixty trimester hours of work.
Transfer students who are listed as Unclassified may petition to take Upper
Division work, but will only be eligible for admission to the Upper Division after
completing one trimester's work in residence.
The "in depth" academic program allows the student many more "contact" hours
with academic personnel than is possible under the conventional college program.
In addition, the program allows the opportunity for academic professionals to work
directly with the individual student who gains by the individual attention.
TRANSCRIPTS
Transcripts are prepared for mailing only on the second and fourth Thursday
of each month. Ten (10) days notice is required. Application for transcript is
made to the Office of the Registar. First transcript is sent without charge; addi-
tional copies cost $1.00 each.
16 ATHENS COLLEGE
THE NIGHT DIVISION
The Night Division of the College is designed with a twofold objective: (1) to
provide facilities and courses in upper level college work to the adult who is pro-
fessionally employed and desires to complete degree requirements or improve or
update his knowledge, or (2) to provide a degree program for those students of any
age who must be gainfully employed but wish to acquire a college degree for per-
sonal improvement.
The Night Division offers the full range of courses in both Lower and Upper
Divisions with the greater portion of the courses scheduled falling in the Upper
Division. Day Division students, however, are permitted to enroll in Night Division
courses and will receive the same credit as given in the Day Division. Night Divi-
sion students are required to complete the final thirty (30) hours credit and one-
fourth of the courses in their major toward the degree in attendance at Athens
College.
HOURS OF INSTRUCTION
The Night Division classes are scheduled four nights each week in the following
way: (1) All non-laboratory courses meet on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and
(2) All laboratory courses meet on Wednesday evening only. The hours of instruc-
tions are as follows:
6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday
6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Wednesday
The scheduled meeting times and frequency of meetings of 1-hour and 2-hour lec-
ture and laboratory courses are arranged independent of the above hours of instruc-
tion. The meeting times of these courses will be announced prior to the commence-
ment of each term in the appropriate College bulletins.
ORGANIZATION FOR INSTRUCTION
The academic program of the College is administered through five divisions:
Humanities, Business Administration, Social Sciences, Natural Science and Mathe-
matics, and Education. Requirements for graduation and course offerings are listed
under the appropriate division headings in the catalog. Faculty advisers are as-
signed to students majoring in each division and consultation should be sched-
uled for at least one meeting each term.
The subject areas are arranged as follows: DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINIS-
TRATION: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Secretarial Science.
DIVISION OF EDUCATION: Elementary Education, Secondary Education,
Health and Physical Education.
DIVISION OF HUMANITIES: Art, English Language and Literature, Foreign
Language, Humanities, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Speech and Drama.
DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS: Biology, Chemistry,
Engineering Graphics, Mathematics, Physics.
DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES: History, Political Science, Psychology,
Sociology.
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Courses numbered from 100-299 are ordinarily considered to be in the Lower
Division; and those numbered 300-499 are considered to be in the Upper Division.
Most courses are planned as independent units of study. However, some courses
are sequential and indicate prerequisites in the catalog description of the course
itself. Credit is allowed for the successful completion of one trimester's work in
a sequential course.
GENERAL INFORMATION 17
FREQUENCY OF COURSE OFFERINGS
Every course in the Lower Division will be, in so far as possible, offered each
term. Courses in the Upper Division will be scheduled as often as necessary to
accommodate the movement of students through the Upper Division. However, all
courses in the Upper Division will be offered at least once each year or oftener upon
special request.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
The degree requirements at Athens College include 124 hours of course work,
properly distributed, with a cumulative grade-point average of 1.00 on that course
work, based on a 3.00 system.
The college curriculum is divided into the Lower Division and the Upper Di-
vision. The Lower Division requires a course of general "core" studies that is
required of all students. This core comprises 62 of the 124 hours required. For
students of exceptional ability, those majoring in the Division of Natural Sciences,
and those majoring in certain other curricula, some deviation from the prescribed
sequence is permitted. All students must, however, complete the sixty-hour "core"
or its equivalent before graduation.
Requirements for entering the Upper Division of the College are as follows:
1. Completion of the Lower Division "core" or its prescribed equivalent with
a cumulative grade point average of 1.00.
2. Two trimesters in residence.
3. Completion of the physical education requirement.

THE ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Testament) and Humanities 310 and 311. In addition, all students qualifying
for a degree at Athens College must complete a minimum of thirty-six (36) tri-
mester hours of 300 and 400 level courses.
REPORT OF GRADES
A report of grades is made periodically during the trimester. Students experi-
encing dificulty in academics are met in conference with the faculty advisers and
the Dean of the College to work out a program of study and tutorial assistance with
the purpose of bringing the student's work up to standard.
The scholastic record of each student is sent to his parents or guardian at mid-
term and at the end of each trimester. Grades are reported as follows:
"A" Excellent "D" Inferior
"B" Above Average "F" Failure
"C" Average "I" Incomplete
Grades of "I" are changed to "F" if the work is not completed in the course
within the first ten weeks in the following trimester in which the student is en-
rolled. A student not enrolled in the college for a period of six (6) months follow-
ing the date on which the "I" was received must remove the "I" during that period
or the "'I" automatically becomes an "F". For the purposes of computation, "I" is
always rated as "F".
TRIMESTER HOURS AND GRADE POINTS
All credits are counted in trimester hours.* A trimester hour usually refers to
one class meeting one hour per week throughout the trimester. Two or three hours
of classwork, discussion, or laboratory may be required to earn one trimester hour
of credit. Each class presupposes two hours of preparation.
For each trimester hour of credit in a subject, each letter grade earns the grade
points as follows:
"A" 3.0 points "D" 0.0 points
"B" 2.0 points "F" 0.0 points
"C" 1.0 points "I" 0.0 points
If a student has received an "I" or an "F" and the work is repeated or made up,
the appropriate grade points earned will be added to his record. In order to
qualify for a degree, a student must complete his requirements with a cumulative
grade-point average of 1.00.
A student's scholastic average over any period is computed by dividing the total
number of grade points by the total number of hours for which the student regis-
tered. In repeated courses, the grade point may be computed only once. The
standards of the College require that a student maintain a grade point average con-
sistent with the grade point required for graduation upon completion of eight terms
of academic work.
Students entering in the Lower Division as probational students may be per-
mitted two trimesters to gain satisfactory academic standing. All students in the
Upper Division are permitted one trimester. Any student failing to attain ac-
ceptable grade standing may be withdrawn from the college and denied permission
to return for at least one trimester.
•Trimester hours are equivalent to semester hours in schools on the semester system.
RETENTION POLICY
The standards of the College require that a student maintain a grade point
average consistent with the grade point required for graduation after eight tri-
mesters of academic work. Students who fail to maintain this minimum average
20 ATHKNS COLLEGE
of 1.00 are placed on scholastic probation and may be required to carry a reduced
load of 12 trimester hours.
Lower Division students who, at the end of the first trimester, have failed to
achieve a 1.00 accumulative grade-point average are placed on probation and may
be given up to two trimesters to attain satisfactory level.
Upper Division students who failed to attain the 1.00 accumulative grade-point
average are placed on academic probation and are given one trimester to attain
satisfactory academic status.
A TRANSFER student who is placed on probation upon entering the college
must maintain a minimum average of 1.00 for all work done the entering trimester
and must make consistent progress toward attaining satisfactory academic status.
Any student failing to attain satisfactory academic standing at the end of the
prescribed probationary period is withdrawn from the College and denied per-
mission to return until the following summer trimester. A student must always
petition for readmission and must attend the trimester for which he is admitted.
A student readmitted may be limited to 12 hours work. If he is able to attain
a 1.00 average for current work, he will be able to continue the following trimester.
During the second trimester the student should attain the cumulative grade-point
average of 1.00. If not, the student may be suspended from the College for aca-
demic reasons.
All students having failed to attain the standards of the college consistent with
their requirements for graduation will be referred to the COMMITTEE ON
STANDARDS for action. In all cases, the determination of the Committee is final.
ARRANGEMENT OF SCHEDULE
Each student is expected to arrange his course of study in consultation with his
faculty adviser and the head of the division in which he plans to major.
Prior to and during the pre-registration and the registration periods, faculty ad-
visers are available for student consulation. The student is responsible for ar-
ranging an appointment with his appropriate adviser at times other than the pre-
registration and registration periods.
Each student in the Lower Division of the College will be assigned a general ad-
viser until such time as he elects a major field of study. Upon election of a major
field, he will be assigned to a faculty adviser in that particular field.
STUDENT COURSE LOAD
Fifteen hours is considered a normal trimester load. A student in good standing
may register for excess hours in accordance with the following restrictions.
1. Any student attaining a 2.00 grade point in the preceding trimester and
holding a minimum of a 1.75 overall may register for one three (3) hour course in
addition to the normal trimester load.
2. Any student attaining a 2.50 grade point in the preceding trimester and hold-
ing a minimum of 2.00 overall may register for two three (3) hour courses in addi-
tion to the normal trimester load.
All petitions for excess credit load must be approved by the Dean of the College.
Students not in good academic standing may be restricted to a load lighter than
the normal fifteen hours.
AUDITED COURSES
Upon recommendation of his adviser, and with approval of the Dean of the
College, a student may audit, without credit, a non-laboratory course. The student
must attend class under the same obligation as the credit student although he is
not required to stand scheduled examinations. Standard registration and fee pay-
ment procedures apply.
GENERAL INFORMATION 21
CLASS ABSENCES
Every class in the College curriculum is designed to present new material at each
class meeting. The student absent from any session thereby misses part of the
subject matter of the course. Viewed from this standpoint, there is no basis for dif-
ferentiating between "excused" and "unexcused" absences. In order for the stu-
dent to derive full benefit from the course of study, it is necessary that he do the
work prescribed in each class session.
It is therefore expected that every student will attend all scheduled classes, labora-
tories, and discussion sessions promptly and regularly. Records of absences are
kept by the Faculty and recorded with the office of the Dean. Penalties are assessed
by the Faculty members by lowered grades for the course work or by recommenda-
tion for dismissal from the course with an automatic grade of "F".
ATTENDANCE AT CONVOCATION
Students are provided with the privilege and are required to attend regular
convocation programs held bi-weekly throughout the trimester. A student absent
without being excused by the Dean of the College will be penalized one quality
point for each absence in excess of one (1) per term. Convocations feature out-
standing speakers in political, social, humanistic, and cultural areas, and make a
constructive contribution to the general educational program of the College.
DEGREES
Each candidate for a Bachelor's Degree is required to complete a course con-
sisting of a minimum of 124 trimester hours, properly distributed.
A Bachelor of Arts degree is granted to a student who has majored in some area
of the applied arts, humanities, or social sciences.
A Bachelor of Science is granted to a student who has majored in one of the
natural or physical sciences or mathematics, or in business administration.
A Bachelor of Science in Education is granted to the student who has completed
the prescribed course of instruction in either elementary or secondary education
and has further qualified for teacher certification.
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION
All students expecting to receive a degree from Athens College must apply for
graduation at least 30 days prior to the beginning of their last term in residence.
Specific date for filing the application will be announced in the college bulletin.

student to take methods courses in the junior year or the first trimester of the
senior year in order to have these courses before time to do student teaching.
During the term when the student is student teaching, a maximum of 14 tri-
mester hours may be taken. Of the 14 trimester hours, 8 trimester hours will be
required for student teaching. In counting hours toward graduation, the individual
should allow for only 14 trimester hours while student teaching.
It is recommended that during the first two years, subjects required of all stu-
dents be taken. Professional education courses are taken the last two years of
college. Psychology 231, however, will be taken by all education majors as a part
of their education requirement.
(Note: Requirements given below for both Elementary and Sec-
ondary Certification are pending approval of the State De-
partment of Education at time of publication of this cat-
alog. If approval is not determined, earlier requirements
will prevail.)

SPECIAL CURRICULA
AMERICAN CULTURAL ARTS
American Cultural Arts is a unique concept of education for the woman student
which provides through a varied curriculum a sound body of knowledge to prepare
the modern woman to meet the religious, social, personal and cultural needs of the
modern world. The curriculum is varied and sufficiently extensive, yet it allows
the woman student enrolled in it to pursue a major course of study and fulfill its
specific requirements. The Lower Division requirements are slightly altered from
those of the general student; but still provide those courses necessary to fulfill the
requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

PRE-DENTAL AND PRE-MEDICAL PROGRAM
Medical Schools urge college students who plan to enter the medical field to
get as wide a liberal arts education as possible. They believe that the medical prac-
titioner needs a broad education as a part of his education and they usually require
a college degree for entrance into medical schools. In view of the above, the liberal
arts program at Athens College is well-suited to the pre-medical student and the
pre-dental student. Both pre-professional students should consult the catalogs of
their prospective professional schools to work out the program with their advisor
and the Dean of the College.
The program as given below does not arrange courses in any sequence or at any
scheduled time. The courses in biology, chemistry, and mathematics are sequential
in organization and must be started in the freshman year. The general require-
ments of the Lower Division must be met except in cases where authorized sub-
stitutions or extension are made.
