This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 
We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

the campus, history and purpose 



location 

Alma College Is located on a beautiful, heavily wooded campus of fifty-seven 
acres adjacent to the city of Alma, Michigan, at almost the geographical 
center of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Alma is fifty miles north of Lansing 
on Highway 27, forty miles west of Saginaw on Highway 46, and ninety 
miles northeast of Grand Rapids on Highways 131 and 46. 



history and purpose 

In October, 1886, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan in 
Westminster Church, Grand Rapids, action was taken which caused a co-edu- 
cational college to be established at Alma, the doors opening on September 
12, 1887. Mr. Alexander Folsom pledged fifty thousand dollars, and Mr. 
Ammi W. Wright led the citizens of Alma in offering two buildings, which hod 
already been erected for educational purposes, valued at forty thousand 
dollars. 

During the first years the campus consisted of Old Main, the Chemistry Build- 
ing, the Library, the Hood Museum, and Pioneer Hall. The construction of the 
Dunning Memorial Chapel began a new era In the life of the college. Since 
that time renewed interest in the College has resulted in the gifts of the Jerry 
Tyler Student Center, Von Dusen Commons, the Reid-Knox Administration 
building, and Mary C Gelston Hall. A new science building will soon be 
erected. 

Consistent with the original action of Synod, Alma College today is owned 
and controlled by the Presbyterian Church of Michigan and operated for 
the Synod by a Board of Trustees elected by the Synod. 

In association with forty other Presbyterian colleges. Alma has adopted the 
Standards which hove been approved by the Board of Christian Education 
of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., which the institution has followed 
since its founding. 

In June, 1957, the Synod of Michigan reaffirmed its action of 1886 by adopt- 
ing the following statement of Preliminary Principles: 

"In keeping with the historic devotion of the Church to the unfettered search 
for truth and hence its necessary involvement in higher education, it is the 
concern of the Presbyterian Church that Alma College be a community 'open 



20 



history 

to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty of Insincerity' 
(James 3), loyal to the truth as revealed In Jesus Christ. Such openness may 
be known only In an atmosphere of freedom and the Church, therefore, 
recognizes Its own responsibility for respecting the freedom of the Trustees, 
the Administration, the Faculty, the Alumni and the Students of Alma College 
as the educational program is specifically defined and administered. This is 
congenial to our Presbyterian tradition which accepts the principles that 
'God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrine 
and commandments of men, which are in anything contrary to His word, 
or beside it in matters of faith or worship'. There are, however, certain princi- 
ples of the Christian faith by which the Presbyterian Church would ask that 
the college community be guided. 

"First, since the vocation of the college community is to seek truth and to 
cause its students to grow in the knowledge and possession of it in the whole 
self, the principles of intellectual competence on the part of those who teach 
is of primary concern. Such competence is more than a matter of information, 
it also is a quality of mind, reverent before the wholeness of truth and not 
limited even if primarily concerned, to its expression through a particular 
field of knowledge, ready to grow in further understanding, and capable of 
communicating its understandings to those who learn. 

"Second, since 'truth is in order to goodness' and not separated from the 
responsibilities of the person in the many relationships of life, the principle 
of personal Integrity is another first concern. This integrity is both an inward 
dedication to truth and an outward respect for one's fellows. The concern for 
subject matter must be accompanied by an equal concern and respect for 
the student and for the total life of the college community. 

'Third, since the experience of the individual in college is an experience 
involving growth in personal values and social relationships that help define 
the responsibilities of membership in the religious, cultural and political areas 
of life (as well as intellectual discipline) the principle of community is a still 
further first concern. The spirit of community is not to be understood artificially. 
It is created neither by a statement of intention nor by any compulsion to 
belief or behavior. It is the spirit which joins Individuals together and which 
proceeds from the common purpose of these several principles— a purpose 
within which differences are respected and accepted, but always within this 
purpose and not \n denial of it. 

'The Presbyterian Church, therefore. In the light of these principles expects 
that Alma College shall be a place which knows a quality of spirit and of 
leadership in which the pursuit of truth may become best favored, and de- 
clares to the College the support both of its educational venture and its 
material needs that Church and College together may proclaim the Glory 
of God and add to the dignity of man."

demonstrated academic ability and background which will show that he may 
benefit from a liberal arts education. In addition, the applicant's health, 
character, record of participation in and service to his school, church, and 
community activities, and his potential as a worthy and useful citizen are 
considerea by the Admissions Committee. 

requirements for admission 

The applicant for admission must be a graduate of on accredited high 
school. He must have taken an acceptable college preparatory course of 
study. 

Fifteen units (a unit is one year of high school work) are required for admis- 
sion and must include four sequences, two major sequences (of which one 
must be English) and two minor sequences selected from the following groups. 
Although students are required to take work in only four areas, they ore 
strongly urged to include in their high school plan of study the following: 

1. English 4 years 

2. Foreign Language 2 years 

(in the same language)

and certain high schools called the Michigan Secondary School-College 
Agreement Plan, the pattern of the above required sequences may be disre- 
garded if the principal so recommends the applicant and if the applicant 
has a "B" average or better.

Alma College recognizes the fact that education Is not confined to the class- 
room but is found in the total experiences of the student. Accordingly, a 
Division of Student Personnel has been established to provide counseling 
and guidance beyond the classroom. This program is intended to implement 
the instructional program and to contribute tov/ord the total growth and 
development of the individual student. It seeks, in the first place, to provide 
an environment, both physical and psychological, which will be conducive 
to the fullest achievement of the student, it provides supervision and guidance 
in co-curricular activities and a variety of services designed to promote the 
full development of the individual, in keeping with the educational goals of 
the college. These services include (1) orientation of the new student, (2) 
academic advisement, (3) vocational orientation and placement, (4) personal 
counseling, (5) testing services and referral, and (6) advisement of the student 
activities program. 



orientation 

Orientation of the new student to college life begins even before he arrives 
on the campus, through the visits with college representatives and through 
the letters, information booklets and other descriptive materials that are sent 
to new students. A pre-school orientation period takes place in September. 
All new students are asked to arrive prior to the opening of college, to partici- 
pate in the Freshman Orientation period. This consists of a series of exper- 
iences which are designed to give the student an opportunity to get acquaint- 
ed with college life, to learn to know his classmates, and to become acquaint- 
ed with his faculty and his adviser. It also helps his adviser to become 
acquainted with him. The orientation process continues throughout the 
semester. 



counseling 

The counseling staff includes the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women selected 
faculty members, departmental chairmen, head residents, and selected 
student advisers. 

Every freshman is assigned to a faculty adviser, who counsels with him until 
he chooses a major field, or requests a new adviser. The faculty adviser con- 
fers with the student several times each semester to provide academic advice 
and approves his registration, or adjustments in registration, before they are 
filed with the Registrar. 

Personal problems may be taken to the Dean of Men or Dean of Women, 
and to the College Pastor as well as to the faculty adviser. The student is 
not limited to the adviser to whom he has i^een assigned during Orientation

Week. He may also confer with other faculty members and with the student 
personnel deans on any matters of concern to him. 

In the residence halls, the junior and senior advisers, who are a selected 
group of upperclass students, old the freshmen in learning the many new 
phases of college life. The head residents, or housemothers. In each hall, 
who are members of the staff of the Dean of Men or Dean of Women, also 
counsel with students. 

testing services 

Tests of intelligence, interest, aptitude, achievement, and personality ore 
available through the Student Personnel Office to students who wish to take 
advantage of them. The testing program at Alma includes a national testing 
program for all freshmen and sophomores. These tests are used in counseling 
the student. 

vocotional guidonce 

The following guidance services ore available to the student through the 
Personnel Office, the departmental chairmen, and faculty advisers: (1) per- 
sonal counseling with vocational problems; (2) assistance in planning for 
further study by providing Information about additional educational oppor- 
tunities, including scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships available in 
graduate and professional schools; and (3) opportunities for learning about 
vocations. A file of vocational opportunities is maintained In the Personnel 
Office, and frequent speakers on vocational sub|ects are invited to the 
campus. Field trips provide additional help In acquiring vocational orientation 
by observation. 

piocement 

The Placement Office assists students and alumni In securing desirable posi- 
tions. The services of the Placement Office ore available to alumni and to 
students. The services may be divided Into two areas: (1) the placement of 
teachers and (2) the placement of those Interested In commercial, industrial, 
or professional positions. 

The Placement Office publicizes job opportunities and brings representatives 
of employers to the campus to Interview students. Senior students should 
register for placement early during their senior year. All placement creden- 
tials are kept in permanent files and con be used any time after the student 
graduates. Record and correspondence ore confidential. 

The Placement Office also arranges for part-time employment off campus 
for summer positions.

f oraign students 

Supervision of foreign students' credentials is undertalcen by the Registrar who 
is also Adviser to Foreign Students. However, foreign students are also given 
academic advisers and may receive personal counseling from the Dean of 
Men and the Dean of Women. 

Foreign students are subject to all college regulations and are given the 
some opportunities as other students. 



heoMi service 

The college maintains a Health Center on the campus under the supervision 
of a G>llege Physician. He is assisted by two graduate nurses and has avail- 
able a group of consulting physicians from the staffs of the two local hospitals. 
The Health Center is equipped for routine office treatments, consultations, 
and minor surgery. Six beds are available for bed core which does not 
require specializea treatment. 

A complete health report provided by the family physician is required of all 
entering students. A recent smallpox immunization (within the past three 
years) is required; also a tuberculin test taken not longer than one year 
before the date of admission. The necessary forms are sent to the student be- 
fore the opening of college. These procedures ore measures of public health 
and are needed for the protection of the other students in college, as well as 
for the protection of the applicant. 

Parents are notified in the event of a severe illness. The student or his 
parent selects the physician when consultation is required. In cases of emerg- 
ency, when the parents are not available, one of the deans acts as guardian 
for the student. 

In order further to insure adequate medical and surgical care for its students 
in the event of serious Illness or accidents, the College offers an insurance 
program designed to meet the expense of hospitalization, medical and 
surgical fees, and other costs. Details of the Insurance benefits are found in 
the insurance policy. 



record and picture lending libraries 

A picture lending library was begun in 1956 and made available for student 
use a number of reproductions of masterpieces and outstanding pictures 
produced by the students of the Art Department. The pictures are loaned by 
the Art Department for the use of students in their rooms. 

A collection of classical and modern records is similarly available for student 
loan through the Department of Music and the Library.

The College expects the student to conduct himself in accordance with the 
ideals for which Alma College stands and to observe the rules and customs 
governing student conduct. Whenever possible students are encouraged to 
handle disciplinary problems through their own governmental organizations. 
Matters requiring serious disciplinary measures are handled by the student- 
faculty Judicial Committee. 

The following specific policies ore called to the attention of the students. 



Alma College is opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages on the port of 
its students. Any student whose conduct Indicates a lack of conformity to 
this policy Is subject to disciplinary action. Persons who for any reason feel 
unwilling or unable to support this standard should not enroll at Alma.

academic information 

academic policies 



registration procedures 

Every student is required to register at the beginning of each semester. IHe 
must present himself for registration at the time announced. Registration Days 
ore specified in the College Calendar and registration after the date announc- 
ed will require the student to pay a late registration fee of five dollars. 

pre-registrotion 

A two-week period prior to the close of the semester is designated as a time 
for students to meet with their advisers to consider their programs for the 
coming semester. This time is spent considering the student's planned program 
for his ensuing semesters as well as the one immediately following. The 
student makes his choice of courses and receives the approval of his program 
by the academic adviser. 

maximum and minimum semester hour loads 

A student is expected to enroll in fifteen hours per semester to progress at 
the normal rate of speed toward graduation at the end of four years. 

A student who enrolls in less than 1 2 semester hours is considered to be a 
special student unless he is in his senior year. If the student's point overage 
is sufficiently low the adviser may request that he enroll in less than 15 hours 
but not less than 1 2. 

To enroll in more than 17 semester hours a student must hove received a 2.00 
average the semester previous to his enrollment In the extra hours. He is not 
allowed to register for more than 20 semester hours unless he receives per- 
mission from the Academic Standards and Credits Committee. For each hour 
of enrollment beyond 16 the student is charged by the hour at the extra hour 
rate as given under Fees. 

auditing of courses 

With the consent of the instructor a student who is registered for 1 2 hours may 
audit courses without additional charge. A student who audits a course may 
not participate in any of the requirements of the classroom work. Therefore, 
auditing of applied work, such as art studio, laboratories, piano, organ, and 
voice, is not allowed. 

45 



academic policits 

change of dost ragistrotion 

A student may enter a class for one week after the day that classes begin in o 
semester. This change of registration is established by obtaining a change of 
registration form from the Registrar's Office, having the adviser approve the 
change in his program, and receiving the permission of the instructor to enter 
his class. Notice of the change in registration is then sent by the Registrar to 
the instructor whose class he is entering and to the instructor from whose 
class he is withdrawing. 

withdrowol from o ckns 

Withdrawal without penalty from a class may be mode only through the 
end of the third week of a semester and with the permission of the adviser 
and the Registrar. After the third week a student may not withdraw from a 
ckass without receiving on "E" grade except by special permission. This 
special permission is granted only upon the presentation of a petition to 
the Academic Standards and Qedits Committee which, if granted, will allow 
the removal of the enrollment from the students record. 

withdrawal from alma college 

A course of study, once begun, will be considered by the college as a dec- 
laration of intention by the student to finish the semester. If, for reasons 
of illness, or other reasons beyond the control of the student, he is unable 
to finish his work, he must notify the Dean of Men or Dean of Women of his 
reasons for wishing to leave the Q>llege, moke all arrangements with the 
Business Office and notify the Registrar. Written assent of a parent or 
guardian is required of any student under twenty-one years of age. 

If the student leaves without notifying the college of his reasons for doing so, 
he will receive the grade of ''WF'' in all classes and no arrangements can be 
mode to refund his tuition. 

If the student leaves because of illness or other reasons beyond his control, his 
record will be recorded as "WD" (Withdrew Passing) and arrangements will 
be made to pro-rote his charges. (See refunds.) 

A student is granted honorable dismissal when he withdraws from the college 
if he is not subject to discipline or has been suspended. 

grades 

The scholastic standing of a student is evaluated by the following grades: A, 
excellent; B, good; C, average; D, poor; E, failure. 

The grade of I (incomplete) may be used to indicate that although the work 
done is of passing grade, some port of the course remains unfinished because 
of illness or for some other reoson over which the student has no control. 
The instructor may give the grade of I subject to the approval of the Dean 

46 



acodemie policies 

and the Registrar. In the event that a student receives the grade of 1, he must 
arrange to complete his work within six weelcs after the end of the semester or 
the grade will automatically become an E. 

The grade of WD is given if the student withdraws from the College Isecause 
of illness or reasons beyond his control. 

The grade of WF is given if the student withdraws from the G)llege without 
permission or reason. 

point system 

The point system is used to indicate the scholastic attainment of the student. 
Under this system honor points are assigned for each letter grade as follows: 
on A gives three points for each semester hour; a B, two points; a C, one 
point; a D, no points; on E, minus one point; on I, no points; WF, minus one 
point; WD, no points. 

To compute the student's point average for the semester the total number of 
honor points which he receives at the end of a semester is divided by 
the total number of hours In which the student was registered in that semester. 

probation, retention and dismissal 

A minimum grade point average of 1.00 is required for graduation, which 
means that in every case the number of honor points must equal or exceed 
the total number of credit hours. At the close of each semester the grade point 
average of every student whose record falls below the minimum standard Is 
reviewed by the Academic Standards and Credits Committee. 

In general, action will be taken upon each individual case and will follow in 
accordance with the scale given below. This does not imply that an action 
may follow exactly the following scale if circumstances justify special action. 
The Committee, therefore, may retain or dismiss a student upon the individual 
circumstances of the case. 

Probation: This is on intermediate academic standing between satisfactory 
standing and standing leading to dismissal. The standing iDelow which a 
student Is placed on probation Is: 

End of the Semester First Second Third Fourth Fifth or more 

Cumulative Average 0.80 0.80 1.00 1.00 1.00 

Previous semester 
Average 0.80 0.80 0.80 0.80 

Dismissal: A student will be considered for dismissal when either his cumulative 
point overage falls below 0.00 at the end of his first semester, iDelow 0.60 
at the end of his second semester, below 0.80 at the end of his third 
semester, or below a 1 .00 at the end of his fourth semester or thereafter, or, 
if his standing has placed him on probation for three consecutive semesters. 

A student may apply to the Academic Standards and Credits committee after 
one semester has elapsed to hove his record reviewed for readmission. 

47 



academic policies 

eligibility 

Participation in the competitive sports of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic 
Association requires that the student have a 1.00 average in the semester 
previous to his participation. 

A cumulative average of 1.00 is required by the college for eligibility for 
rushing and membership in any fraternity or sorority. 

attendonce 

The college requires regular attendance of students at classes, convocations 
and chapels. A student who must be absent from a class is expected to inform 
his instructor of his reasons for absence. An excessive number of absences may 
result in a penalty for the student. 

Convocations and chapels are regularly held twice a week and the student 
is allowed one or two absences from these a month. Each absence over and 
beyond the number allowed will result in the subtraction of one-half an honor 
point from the studenf s semester record. 



examinations 

Examinations are held at the close of each semester and at intervals during 
the semester, at the discretion of the instructor. 

Final examinations are written and are two hours in length. A period of one 
week at the end of each semester is designated as final examination week. 
No regular classes are held during that week. 

A fee of five dollars shall be charged for all announced examinations given 
at other than the scheduled time. Permission to take an examination at a time 
other than the regularly scheduled time must be obtained from the instructor 
and the Dean of the Faculty. 

proficiency examinations 

Freshmen who have not been previously enrolled at any other college may 
receive advanced credit through proficiency examinations for college courses 
the subject matter of which they have mastered prior to their enrollment at 
Alma College. 

Students who wish to take advantage of this program may apply for these 
proficiency examinations to the Board of Examiners at the time of their 
admission to Alma College or during their first semester of residence. The 
application must be accompanied by a fee of $5.00 for each examination. 
This fee will not be returned unless the application is rejected. For freshmen 
who enter in September the proficiency examinations will be given during the 
Orientation Week In September and during the first week in January. For 
freshmen who enter at the beginning of the second semester the examina- 

48 



academic policies 

tions will be given just prior to registration and during the first week in May. 
Application for the September examinations must be made by August 1, for 
the January examinations by December 1, for the examinations given just 
prior to second semester registration by January 1, and for the May examin- 
ations by April 1. 

To pass a proficiency examination the student must demonstrate a level 
of proficiency which is at least equal to the proficiency of students who have 
passed the corresponding college course with a grade of C. The examination 
in certain subjects may be a practical as well as a written examination. 
While these examinations give a student credits towards graduation and 
major and minor requirements, no honor points can be earned in this 
manner; therefore, credit earned through proficiency examinations will not 
be included in calculating the student's honor point average. Failed examina- 
tions are not recorded. 

No proficiency examinations will be given for the following courses: 

(a) Courses which are equivalent to any of the first fifteen academic 
units which a student offers for college entrance. 

(b) Courses which are less intensive than another course which covers the 
some field of human knowledge (that is, a student may take a 
proficiency examination for Chemistry 1 1, but not for Chemistry 13). 

(c) Courses in applied music and studio art with the exception of Art 

15-16. 

(d) Reading and problems courses whose subject matter varies from 
year to year and depends on the student's interest and previous 
attainment. 

If a student desires to take a proficiency examination for an advanced course 
he can receive credit for this course only if he is establishing credit for all 
its pre-requisites. 

A student who has failed a proficiency examination may not apply for re- 
examination. 



correspondence work 

Alma College does not offer work by correspondence. Nine semester hours 
of work by correspondence with an accredited institution will be accepted 
toward the requirements for the degree, but not more. These hours may not 
be accepted by Alma College if the student has not obtained from the Aca- 
demic Standards and Credits Committee permission to enroll in these hours. 
A student should not attempt to carry work by correspondence while en- 
rolled in a full-time program on the campus. Correspondence work taken 
during the summer must be completed by September 10 and a transcript 
which shows the work is completed must be on file in the Registrar's Office 
by that time. 

49 



academic policies 

of students 



Students ore classified as regular, full-time students If they carry 12 hours 
or more. Students carrying less than 12 hours are classified as special 
students (unless they are candidates for the degree and in their last year 
of residence). 

Classification of the student is based on the fact that Alma graduates its 
students only once a year, in June. Students are therefore classified in the 
fall semester with the minimum requirements for the three classes being: 
seniors must have earned 86 semester hours of credits; juniors, 56; and 
sophomores, 24. 

To be classified as a senior in the spring semester a senior must hove earned 
a minimum of 103 credits and be enrolled for such classes as will allow him 
to t>e graduated in June. Juniors must have earned 70 credits; and sopho- 
mores must have earned 40 credits. 

degrees 

Alma College offers work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), 
Bachelor of Science (B.S.), and Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.). The 
degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred upon students who have 
had at least sixty hours of their college work in science and mathematics, 
if they prefer this degree. The degree of Bachelor of Music Education will 
be granted to those who complete the requirements as listed under the 
Department of Music. 

honors 

A student who has 2.75 for his point average will be graduated summa 
cum laude; 2.50, magna cum laude; 2.25, cum laude. A graduate to be 
eligible for honors as solutatorian or valedictorian of his class must have 
been in residence only in Alma College. 



requirements for the degree 

All students will be expected to meet the following requirements in order 
to qualify for formal recommendation by the faculty to the Board of Trustees 
for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of 
Music Education. 

residence requirement 

A student will not l>e recommended for a degree unless he has spent at 
least one year on the campus which must be, as a rule, the year immediately 
preceding graduation.

120 hours are required for graduation. 



point average requirement 

A cumulative point average of 1 .00 is required for graduation. 

group requirements for the degree 

English Language and Literature: English 11-12, Written and Spoken 
English, are required of all students. Those who achieve a high level of 
proficiency in English 1 1 may be exempt from English 12 at the discretion of 
the Written and Spoken English teaching staff. In addition to English 11-12, 
English 22 (Introduction to Literature), is required for graduation. Uppercloss- 
men may l3e required to take an additional composition course if their work in 
any course shows serious deficiency in writing skill. Students may be referred 
to this course upon the recommendation of one course instructor and failure 
to pass a proficiency test administered by the English Department. 

Foreign Language: It is required that a student present the equivalent of the 
elementary and intermediate levels of one foreign language for graduation. 
Ail students who have not completed the language requirement must regis- 
ter for a language course in tiieir first or second year. In the event that a 
student has presented two units of language for entrance, only six semester 
hours of that same language will be required for graduation. If the student 
is able to demonstrate that he has attained a standard equal to the second 
year course, it is not necessary for the student to enroll in a language while 
in residence. 

Mathematics and Science: A one-year course in a laboratory science must 
be presented for graduation. This may be Biology 11-12, Chemistry 11-12 
or 13-14, Physics 11-12 or 21-22, Geology 11-12, Natural Science 11-12, 
or Psychology 24 and 37. Two semesters from different courses do not satis- 
fy this requirement. 

In addition, achievement of a satisfactory score which is determined by 
the Mathematics Department on the Freshman Mathematics Entrance Exam- 
ination, or satisfactory completion of Mathematics 01-02, must be presented 
for graduation. 

Social and Political Science: Twelve semester hours taken in one or all of 
the following four fields ore required for graduation: Economics, IHistory, 
Political Science, Social Science and Sociology. Six hours of Philosophy may 
be used in partial fulfillment of the above requirement. 

Humanities: Nine semester hours in humanities are required, including English 
22. The other six hours must be taken from courses Art 1 3, Music 1 3, and/or 
Humanities 1 1 and 1 2. This requirement will begin with the class entering in 
September, 1956. 

SI 



degree requirements 

Religion: Eight semester hours ore required. (Non-Protestonts may substitute 
courses in Philosophy.) Religion 11 and 12 must be included in the require- 
ment of eight semester hours and they must be taken in either the first or 
second year. An adjustment in the requirement for graduation will be mode 
for students who transfer to Alma College at the sophomore level or beyond 
without credit in Religion. 

Physical Education: Two activity units in Physical Education ore required for 
graduation. For those students who present a medical excuse from physical 
education a substitution of activity units in other areas will be required for 
graduation. Physical Education is required in the freshman year and must be 
token during that time unless the student is excused by the Dean of Men or 
the Dean of Women. 



major and minor requirements 

Not later than the beginning of the junior year each student shall select the 
field of his major concentration. He must moke application to the head of 
the department in which he wishes to major. Twenty-four hours of work in 
one subject field must be presented for the major. A minor of fifteen hours in 
one subject field with another fifteen hours specified and planned with the 
assistance of and approval of the adviser will be required in addition to the 
major. 

Although a minimum number of twenty-four hours is stated as the require- 
ment it is not the understanding that a series of unrelated courses shall 
satisfy this requirement. The student and adviser are expected to plan a 
coherent unified program of studies. In advising a student an adviser may 
well have in mind courses which ore prerequisite for satisfactory work in 
graduate or professional schools. 

Detailed information concerning possible majors Is given in the announcement 
of each department as published in this catalogue. The following departments 
offer majors: Art, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Economics, 
Education, English, French, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physical 
Education (Men), Physics, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, Spanish, and 
Speech. 

chapel requirements 

Regular attendance at chapel and convocations is required. 

activity unit requirements 

Each student will earn six activity units for graduation. 

Students who transfer into Alma College will be required to present one and 
one-half activity units for graduation for each year spent on the campus. 
Therefore a student who transfers in as a sophomore will be required to pre- 
sent four and one half units; as a junior, three; as a senior, one and one-half.

combined curricula 

pre-engineering cooperative plan with the university of 
michigan 

In the cooperative agreement between Alma College and the University of 
Michigan the student spends three years at Alma College and then a summer 
session and four semesters at the University. At the end of five years the 
student would normally have received a bachelor's degree from both a liberal 
arts college and an engineering school. This offers opportunity for a wider 
acquaintance with the humanities and the social sciences than is possible in a 
four-year engineering program. Students may also transfer to the University 
of Michigan after two years at Alma College. Those who transfer after either 
two or three years should enter the University of Michigan summer session 
after the last semester at Alma to meet the necessary sequence of studies. 
One summer session is required In all regular programs in Engineering at the 
University of Michigan. Those who wish to transfer should correspond with 
the Assistant Dean of the Engineering College. 

The following curriculum leads to degrees in Aeronautical, Civil, Electrical, 
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and degrees in Engineering, Mathe- 
matics, Engineering Physics, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering:

pre-professional curricula 

pre-dental 

It would be wise for a student who wishes to enter dental school to contact 
the one he wishes to enter and procure from It the requirements for admis- 
sion. Most schools of dentistry will require that a student present the following 
to be considered for admission: 

1 . Six hours of English composition. 

2. One and one-half years of Chemistry which should include inorganic 
and six hours of organic. 

3. One year of Biology. 

4. One year of Physics. 

5. A total of at least sixty hours of college work which should include 
the above subjects. 

Students may follow the pre-medical curriculum set up below. 

pre-medical 

Entrance to most medical schools requires that the student have: English 11-12, 
Chemistry 11-12, 31-32 (Chemistry 21, prerequisite to Chemistry 32), Physics 
11-12, Biology 11-12, 31-32, French or German (2 years in one language), 
and a grade average of at least 1 .50. 

These are minimum requirements. Very few applicants are accepted who 
meet only the minimum requirements or have only three years of undergrad- 
uate work. Medical schools stress the need to secure a liberal arts education. 
Exceptional students who hope to enter medical school for their fourth year 
of work toward the baccalaureate degree must complete 90 hours of work 
acceptable to the medical school. The outline given below cannot be strictly 
adhered to because some courses listed ore offered only in alternate years.

psychology 



ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR KLUGH, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DETERLINE. 

The purposes of the Department of Psychology ore: (1) training for students entering the 
Riedical, theological, industrial, and educational areas, so that these individuals whose primary 
vocational concern Is dealing with human beings may have a rather precise understanding 
of the predictability of human behavior; (2) preparation of students for graduate study leading 
to an advanced degree in psychology; (3) instruction of the student whose vocational concern 
is primarily outside the area of human behavior so that he may appreciate the dynamics of 
human behavior and understand something of the reasons for his own behavior patterns and 
those of his associates. The psychology major who does not plan to take graduate work will 
find vocational opportunities primarily in sales, personnel and social service areas, areas In 
which the primary concern is dealing with human beings. 

The student majoring In psychology Is required to demonstrate breadth of understanding In 
the general field of psychology. Including particularly the areas of experimental psychology 
and ptychologicol statistics. The department considers that this background should be based 
on knowledge of the biological sciences. The student ordinarily demonstrates these compe- 
tancies by completing a year's work In general biology and a minimum of 24 credits in psy- 
chology. Including Psychology 21, 24, 31, 37, 38, 41. Competency may also be demonstrated 
both In general field and specific area by participation in independent study programs. 

21. General Psychology. Three credits. 

A systematic general introduction to the study of human behavior. The course Is 
designed to give the Introductory student a knowledge of modern psychological 
concepts and the usefulness of these concepts In understanding the behavior of
