Historical  Sketch  of  Louisburg  College 

Louisburg  College,  the  co-educational  junior  college  of  the  North 
CaroHna  Methodist  Conference,  has  evolved  from  three  earlier  insti- 
tutions :  Franklin  Academy,  which  functioned  under  legislative  charter 
of  1787  and  1802;  Louisburg  Female  Academy,  which  operated  from 
1813  to  1857;  and  Louisburg  Female  College,  the  name  under  which 
the  institution  was  known  until  1931. 


Franklin  Academy 

Franklin  Academy  was  first  chartered  in  1787  by  act  of  the  Legis- 
lature of  North  Carohna.  Doctor  John  King,  William  Lancaster,  Josiah 
Love,  Benjamin  SeaweU,  Robert  Goodlow,  Robert  Bell,  Jorden  Hill, 
Francis  Taylor,  Hugh  Hayes,  William  Green,  Thomas  Stokes,  and 
Dr.  William  Varell  were  thereby  appointed  trustees  "for  the  purpose 
of  erecting  an  Academy  in  the  town  of  Lewisburg  ...  by  the  name 
of  Franklin  Academy"  and  to  provide  "towards  paying  for  the  house 
aheady  contracted  for."  Of  the  early  years  of  this  institution  little  is 
known.  Documentary  evidence  is,  however,  abundant  for  1802,  the 
date  of  the  second  charter,  and  beyond.  The  trustees  were  now:  John 
Hunt,  Francis  Taylor,  Epps  Moody,  John  Haywood,  Joshua  Perry, 
Archibald  Davis,  William  Lancaster,  Jeremiah  Perry,  Jr.,  Richard 
Fenner,  George  Tunstall,  Green  Hill,  William  Green,  Alexander  Fal- 
coner, William  Williams,  Jr.,  and  Major  Jeremiah  Perry. 

The  Academy  was  opened  on  January  1,  1805,  under  the  direction 
of  Matthew  Dickinson  of  Somers,  Connecticut,  a  graduate  of  Yale 
College,  and  maternal  uncle  of  the  eminent  Field  brothers,  David 
Dudley,  Cyrus  W.,  Stephen  Johnson,  and  Henry  Martyn.  A  Connecti- 
cut visitor  in  1808  described  the  Academy  as  being  a  "pleasant  build- 
ing on  the  hill,"  and  noted  in  his  diary  Dickinson's  observation  that 
"literature  is  much  respected  in  these  parts  and  literary  men  rever- 
enced." The  annual  enrollment  during  the  years  of  his  guidance  was 
over  seventy — at  one  time  twenty  students  even  came  from  the 
University  of  North  Carolina.  Two  courses  of  instruction  were  oflFered. 
The  first  consisted  of  Reading,  Writing,  Arithmetic,  English,  Grammar, 
Geography,  Belles  Lettres,  and  Rhetoric;  and  the  second  embraced: 
"Ethics  and  Metaphysics,  the  Latin,  Greek,  Hebrew,  French,  and 
Italian  languages,  and  the  higher  branches  of  Metaphysics  and 
Philosophy,  viz.:  Algebra,  Geometry,  Trigonometry,  Conic  Sections,

14 Louisburg  College  Bulletin 

Altimetry,  Longimetry,  Mensuration  of  Superficies  and  Solids,  Sur- 
veying, Navigation,  Natural  Philosophy,  and  Astronomy."  To  aid  in 
teaching  this  formidable  array,  Mr.  Davis  H.  Mayhew,  a  graduate  of 
Williams  College,  Massachusets,  was  engaged  as  assistant  teacher. 
The  trustees  aimounced,  in  1810,  the  estabhshment  of  a  "handsome 
Hbrary."  Dickinson  severed  his  connections  with  the  Academy  at  the 
end  of  1808  and  began  to  practice  law.  He  was  succeeded  by  Davis 
H.  Mayhew,  who  served  1809-1816,  with  the  exception  of  1810,  when 
Dr.  James  Bogle  was  in  charge.  The  institution,  later  known  as  the 
Louisburg  Male  Academy,  continued  under  various  principals'  down 
to  the  opening  years  of  the  present  century. 

Louisburg  Female  Academy 

In  1813  began  the  second  stage  in  the  evolution  of  Louisburg 
College,  when  a  Female  Department  was  added  to  Franklin  Academy. 
Here  young  ladies  were  to  be  instructed,  so  the  opening  announce- 
ment read,  in  "Reading,  Writing,  English  Grammar,  Arithmetic, 
Geography,  Astronomy,  Painting,  and  Music;  also  useful  and  Orna- 
mental Needle  Work  of  almost  every  description."  A  legislative  docu- 
ment of  the  following  year,  "An  act  to  incorporate  the  Trustees  of 
the  Louisburg  Female  Academy,  and  for  other  purposes,"  named  as 
trustees  John  D.  Hawkins,  Green  Hill,  Jr.,  Jesse  Person,  Robert  A. 
Taylor,  William  Murphey,  Benjamin  F.  Hawldns,  Jordan  Hill,  Nathan 
Patterson,  Richard  Fenner,  Richard  Inge,  Joel  King,  and  Alexander 
Falkner;  and  provided  for  tlie  deeding  to  the  Academy  of  any  of  the 
unappropriated  town  lands.  The  original  building  for  this  school, 
erected  in  1814,  was  described  by  the  commissioners,  in  in%iting 
bids  for  construction,  as  "30  by  20  feet,  2  stories — 11  and  9  feet  pitch 
— ^two  rooms  above,  18  by  20  and  12  by  20  feet — three  6-paneled 
doors — four  18  and  four  8  light  windows  below,  and  sLx  15  and  four 
8  light  windows  above — to  be  built  of  good  hard  timber — with  tvvo 
chimneys  of  brick  or  hewn  stone,  and  underpinned  with  the  same — 
to  be  ceiled  within  and  painted  without." 

The  new  building  completed,  Miss  Harriet  Partridge,  "a  lad>-  from 
Massachusents,  eminently  qualified,"  became  the  "preceptress."  The 
early  records  reveal  that  by  1817  there  was  an  aN-erage  enrollment 
of  seventy-five,  that  the  preceptress  received  an  annual  salary  of  five 
hundred  dollars,  and  that  gross  receipts  from  tuition  were  over  fifteen 
hundred  dollars.  Miss  Partridge  was  assisted  by  a  Mr.  John  Lataste, 
a  person  distinguished,  according  to  the  official  advertisement.  b\'  his 


•The  successive  principals  were  1816-1845:  John  B.  Bobbitt  (Universit\'  of  North  Carolin*), 
1816-1820;  Fitch  Wheeler  (Yale),  1821-1822;  George  Perry.  1823;  Addison  H.  %\Tiite  (Yale), 
1824-1825;  Elijah  Brewer  (Yale),  1826-1827;  Charles  A.  Hill  (University  of  North  Carolina). 
1828-1830;  John  B.  Bobbitt,  second  term  1831-1845.

"universally  acknowledged  qualifications  in  teaching  music  upon  the 
Forte  Piano,  as  well  as  his  graceful  and  elegant  manner  of  teaching 
dancing."  In  1821  Miss  Ann  Benedict  of  "Connecticut  and  New  York" 
succeeded  to  the  headship  and  she  was  replaced  in  1824  by  Miss  Mary 
Ramsey,  of  "New  York."  In  1831,  Miss  Partridge,  now  Mrs.  John  B. 
Bobbitt,  returned  and  continued  in  her  position  until  1843.  The  records 
show  that  Latin  and  French  had  been  added  to  the  curriculum  by 
1838  and  instruction  in  the  guitar  and  other  instruments  instituted. 
From  1843  to  1856  Asher  H.  Ray  and  Jane  A.  Ray  were  the  principals. 
A  circular  for  1851  reveals  that  they  were  assisted  by  three  teachers 
and  that  the  Academy  now  styled  itself  a  "Seminary."  By  the  time  the 
old  institution  developed  into  a  college  in  1857,  it  had  educated 
hundreds  of  girls  from  aU  sections  of  eastern  North  Carolina. 

Louisburg  Female  College 

Responding,  in  1855,  to  the  need  for  higher  education  of  women, 
the  Louisburg  Female  College  Company  was  organized  as  a  joint- 
stock  enterprise  to  begin  the  work  of  converting  the  Academy  into 
a  CoUege.  By  a  legislative  act  the  company  acquired  interests  in 
the  Academy  ground,  moved  the  Academy  buildings  to  another  part 
of  the  property,  and  constructed  a  four-story  brick  building  in  the 
style  of  the  Greek  Revival.  Instruction  was  begun  in  the  fall  of  1857 
under  the  presidency  of  Mr.  James  P.  Nelson,  of  Maryland.  He  was 
succeeded  two  years  later  by  Mr.  Columbus  Andrews,  who  presided 
until  1861.  During  the  Civil  War  the  institution  was  under  Mr.  James 
Southgate  until  it  was  forced  to  close  in  1865.  It  was  reopened  in 
January,  1866,  by  Dr.  T.  M.  Jones,  who  removed  Greensboro  Female 
College  to  the  building,  three  years  after  the  latter  institution  had 
been  destroyed  by  fire.  The  Reverend  Dr.  F.  L.  Reid  became  presi- 
dent in  1877.  The  following  year  the  College  was  forced  to  close  its 
doors,  and  for  the  next  eleven  years  the  buildings  were  variously  used 
as  a  high  school  and  as  a  private  residence.  A  resurgence  of  interest, 
although  it  was  hindered  by  the  general  poverty  of  the  town  and 
state  during  the  Reconstruction  period,  resulted  in  the  reopening 
of  the  College  with  an  emollment  of  around  100,  under  Mr.  S.  D. 
Bagley,  in  1889.  He  was  assisted  by  eight  teachers.  A  preparatory 
department  was  conducted  in  the  old  Academy  building.  The  Rever- 
end J.  A.  Green  was  president  from  1894-1896.  He  was  succeeded  by 
Mr.  Matthew  S.  Davis,  who  had  previously  been  principal  of  the 
Male  Academy,  and  who  held  office  until  his  death  in  1906,  when  he 
was  succeeded  by  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Ivey  Allen. 

During  these  latter  years  the  College  had  been  run  under  the 
care  of  the  Methodist  Church,  although  the  Church  had  given  nothing 


16 Louisburg  College  Bulletin 

to  its  support,  and  in  theory  it  had  continued  to  belong  to  the  stock 
company.  But  by  virtue  of  money  he  had  lent  to  the  institution  Mr. 
Washington  Duke,  the  Durham  philanthropist,  had  by  1891  become 
the  real  owner.  In  1907,  upon  Mr.  Duke's  death,  his  son,  Mr.  Benjamin 
N.  Duke,  presented  the  property  in  fee  simple,  to  the  North  Carolina 
Conference  of  the  Southern  Methodist  Church. 


Louisburg  College 

In  1911  the  three-story  Davis  Building  was  erected  to  memorialize 
the  serA^ice  of  the  Davis  family  to  the  institution.  In  1915,  under  the 
presidency  of  Mrs.  Allen,  the  college  was  re-organized  with  junior- 
college  rating.  From  1917  to  1920,  the  Reverend  F.  S.  Love  was  presi- 
dent. He  was  followed,  in  the  years  1921  and  1922  by  the  Reverend 
L.  S.  Massey. 

Under  the  presidency  of  A.  W.  Mohn  the  years  1922  to  1929  were 
a  period  of  building  expansion.  During  this  period  the  West  Wing, 
the  Pattie  Julia  Wright  Dormitory,  and  the  Franklin  County-  Building 
were  erected. 

In  1928  disastrous  fires  destroyed  the  old  Academy  Building  and 
gutted  the  main  floors  of  West  Wing  and  the  Administration  Building. 
When  the  Reverend  C.  C.  Alexander  became  president  in  1929,  the 
college  was  burdened  with  a  debt  of  t^vo  hundred  thousand  dollars 
in  a  time  of  depression  and  shrinking  enrollment. 

Dr.  A.  D.  Wilcox,  1931  to  1936,  and  Dr.  D.  E.  Earnhardt,  19.36 
to  1939,  were  the  presidents  during  the  depression  years.  Due  to  their 
efforts  the  college  continued  to  render  service  to  its  constituency.  Dur- 
ing the  three  years  that  Dr.  Earnhardt  headed  the  institution,  the  debt 
was  reduced  from  $196,000  to  $30,000  and  enrollment  jumped  from 
150  to  440.  In  1939,  Dr.  Walter  Patten,  who  for  several  years  had  been 
financial  agent  for  the  college,  became  president.  During  liis  admin- 
istration the  remaining  portion  of  the  debt  was  paid.  Upon  Dr.  Patten's 
death  in  1947,  Samuel  M.  Holton  became  president.  Diuing  his  admin- 
istration the  gymnasium,  named  in  liis  honor,  was  built  and  an  ex- 
tensive renovation  program  was  initiated.  On  July  1,  1955,  Dr.  Cecil  W. 
Robbins  succeeded  Dr.  Holton  as  president. 


Location 

Louisburg  College  is  located  at  Louisburg,  Franklin  Count>\  in 
the  eastern  part  of  North  Carolina,  about  tliirt>'  miles  northeast  of 
Raleigh,  the  state  capital,  and  forty  miles  east  of  Durham.  Hard- 
surfaced  highways  extend  in  almost  every  direction  from  the  town  of 


General  Infomuition  17 

Louisburg  and  the  city  is  accessible  to  all  parts  of  the  State.  The 
college  is  located  on  the  highest  peak  of  the  town  and  a  fine  view  of 
a  goodly  portion  of  the  Tar  River  valley  may  be  seen  from  the  college 
buildings.  Louisburg  has  the  advantage  of  possessing  a  minimum 
of  noise,  excitement  and  distracting  influences  of  the  large  city,  yet 
has  rapid  and  convenient  transportation  to  the  cities  when  the 
occasion  demands. 


Accreditation 

Louisburg  College  is  accredited  by  the  Southern  Association  of 
Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools  and  by  the  North  Carolina  Board 
of  Education.  In  addition,  the  College  is  a  member  of  the  American 
Association  of  Junior  Colleges,  the  North  Carolina  College  Confer- 
ence, the  Southern  Association  of  Junior  Colleges,  the  North  Carolina 
Council  of  Church-Related  Colleges,  the  Southeastern  Conference  of 
Church-Related  Colleges,  and  the  North  Carolina  Junior  College 
Athletic  Conference. 


Buildings  and  Grounds 

Campus 

The  campus  of  the  college  is  a  plot  of  approximately  twelve  acres 
containing  a  beautiful  oak  grove,  modern  college  buildings,  driveways, 
lawns,  tennis  courts,  and  a  large  athletic  field  back  of  the  buildings. 

College  Buildings 

Nine  buildings  used  as  dormitories,  for  instruction,  and  for  recrea- 
tional purposes  are  on  the  college  campus.  These  buildings  are:  the 
Administration  Building,  the  West  Wing  of  the  Administration  Build- 
ing, the  Davis  Memorial  Building,  the  Pattie  Julia  Wright  Memorial 
Dormitory,  the  Franklin  County  Building,  the  Cafeteria,  the  G>Tn- 
nasium,  the  Apartment  House  for  faculty  members  and  married  stu- 
dents, and  the  Central  Heating  Plant. 

In  addition  to  these  buildings,  the  college  owns  the  president's 
home  which  is  located  on  the  campus. 

Administration  Building  (Old  Main) 

This  is  a  four  story  brick  building  erected  in  1855.  Here  are  located 
the  administration  offices,  the  social  halls,  and  the  post  ofiBce. 

Davis  Memorial  Building 

Erected  in  1913  as  a  memorial  to  Matthew  S.  Davis,  who  was  for 
many  years  the  president  of  the  college,  Davis  Building  provides 
dormitory  facilities  on  the  second  and  third  floors  and  lecture  rooms 
on  the  first  floor. 

West  Wing,  Administration  Building 

This  wing  was  erected  in  1924  and  contains  tlie  hbrar>-  on  the 
first  floor,  chapel  on  the  second  floor,  and  dormitor>-  rooms  on  the 
third  and  foiuth  floors. 

In  1943,  the  Burney  rooms  were  completed  on  the  fourth  floor. 
In  1946,  sixteen  additional  rooms  were  added,  to  utilize  all  the  avail- 
able dormitory  space. 

Pattie  Julia  Wright  Memorial  Dormitory 

This  dormitory  is  the  gift  of  Mr.  R.  H.  \\'right  of  Durham.  Xortli 
Carolina,  in  memory  of  his  sister,  Pattie  Julia  Wright,  who  was  a

Campus  Life 

Home  Life 

Louisburg  College  imparts  an  atmosphere  which  is  possible  only 
in  small  institutions  where  there  is  constant  personal  contact  bet\veen 
the  teachers  and  students.  This  relationship  brings  a  feeling  of  per- 
sonal responsibility  on  the  teachers'  side,  and  causes  the  students 
to  regard  their  teachers  as  friends  who  are  interested  in  their  particu- 
lar needs  and  welfare.  The  teachers  are  the  companions  and  advisers 
of  the  students  and  seek  to  guide  them  in  the  highest  ideals  of  Chris- 
tian womanhood  and  manhood. 

Religious  Influence 

Louisburg  College  is  a  Methodist  College  which  strives  to  place 
the  Christian  development  of  its  students  as  one  of  the  foremost 
objectives  of  the  college  program.  Hence  the  administration  does  all 
in  its  power  to  create  a  congenial  atmosphere  which  is  conducive 
to  the  development  of  Christian  character.  To  this  end  the  College 
insists  that  the  faculty  be  of  contagious  Christian  character  and  do 
all  in  its  power  toward  developing  and  maintaining  Christian  stand- 
ards on  the  campus. 

In  furtherance  of  this  central  aim,  courses  are  given  in  Bible  and 
fundamental  methods  of  Church  work.  Also  the  College  observes  a 
Religious  Emphasis  Week  during  the  first  semester  at  which  time  a 
visiting  minister  conducts  meetings  daily.  The  students  are  urged 
to  attend  and  take  an  active  part. 

The  presence  in  Louisburg  of  well-established  churches  of  three 
leading  denominations  affords  opportunity  for  training  in  worship  and 
the  practice  of  the  most  approved  methods  of  church  work. 

Under  the  guidance  of  the  Director  of  Religious  Activities,  in 
addition  to  the  requirements  of  Chapel  attendance,  students  are  urged 
to  join  in  work  of  some  form  of  religious  activity. 

Town  and  Country  Church  Work 

In  co-operation  with  the  Commission  on  Town  and  Country  Work 
of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  and  other  agencies  of  the  Methodist 
Church,  Louisburg  College  is  emphasizing  work  with  those  prepar- 
ing for  the  Ministr)'  and  for  local  church  service.  A  specialist  in  this 
work  has  been  added  to  the  Staff  of  the  College  and  is  available  for 
field  work.

Christian  Associations 

The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  and  the  Young  Women's 
Christian  Association  are  the  interdenominational  Christian  groups 
of  the  college.  Their  purpose  is  to  emphasize  the  Christian  way  of 
life  in  the  midst  of  educational  pursuits  and  college  activities.  Nlem- 
bership  is  open  to  any  young  man  or  woman  in  sympathy  with  Chris- 
tian ideals.  Its  program  consists  of  weekly  services  of  worship  and 
social  activity  in  the  interest  of  building  on  the  campus  a  Christian 
atmosphere.  A  faculty  advisory  committee  assists  in  the  work  of  the 
organization. 

Chapel 

A  chapel  service  is  held  on  Tuesday  and  on  Friday  mornings.  The 
trustees  and  the  faculty  regard  the  chapel  exercises  as  an  integral  part 
of  the  work  of  the  college;  accordingly,  regularity  of  attendance  is 
required  of  all  students. 

Members  of  the  faculty  and  student  organizations  frequently  plan 
programs  and  the  ministers  of  the  town  and  nearby  communities  are 
invited  to  present  religious  messages. 

Students  who  continue  to  absent  themselves  will  not  be  allowed 
to  represent  the  college  in  any  way  and  will  be  required  to  appear 
before  the  Student  Counseling  Committee.  Habitual  absence  from 
chapel  can  result  in  dismissal  from  college. 

The  Orientation  Program 

The  orientation  program  assists  the  student  in  adjusting  himself 
to  college  community  living  and  to  increased  responsibilities  for 
himself  and  his  progress,  and  in  orienting  himself  as  an  intelligent 
citizen. 

Of  great  importance  in  the  orientation  program  is  the  Junior 
Orientation  Period  which  consists  of: 

(1)  Informal  gatherings,  lectures,  and  various  student  acti\ities 
which  induct  the  juniors  into  the  group  and  acquaint  them  \\ith  the 
customs  and  traditions  of  the  college.  Physical  and  mental  tests  are 
given  during  this  period,  and  the  results  of  these  tests  proWde  the 
faculty  with  information  essential  to  effective  care  and  guidance. 

(2)  Library  talks  which  are  conducted  by  the  librarian  with  small 
groups  of  juniors.  The  students  explore  the  facilities  of  the  librar>'  and 
are  initiated  into  the  use  of  the  card  catalogue,  reference  books, 
reserve  system  and  other  features. 

(3)  Discussions  with  the  juniors  which  are  led  by  well-qualified 
persons  and  center  on  topics  such  as:  objectives  of  college  education, 


Campus  Life  23 

how  to  plan  one's  time,  techniques  of  study,  personal  hygiene,  dormi- 
tory life  and  behavior,  marking  system,  and  explanation  of  the  course 
of  study. 

(4)  Chapel  and  assembly  talks  which  are  given  by  members  of 
the  faculty  and  by  students  throughout  the  first  few  weeks  of  the  fall 
semester  on  the  various  problems  of  the  campus. 

The  Counseling  Program 

The  counseling  program  is  designed  to  further  the  student's  devel- 
opment by  providing  opportunity  for  him  to  discuss  with  members  of 
the  college  administration  and  faculty  his  scholastic,  vocational,  social, 
and  spiritual  life. 

At  registration  each  student  is  assigned  a  temporary  faculty  coun- 
selor and  shortly  afterwards,  when  the  individual  student's  interests 
and  needs  have  been  considered,  he  is  assigned  to  a  faculty  member 
as   permanent  counselor. 

Much  of  individual  guidance  is  given  in  the  important  educational 
experience  of  choosing  courses.  The  student  receives  help  in  consider- 
ing his  own  abilities,  his  present  and  possible  future  interests,  and  his 
vocational  plans.  While  the  number  of  hours  to  be  elected  is  prescribed 
within  certain  limits,  there  is  some  latitude  to  fit  the  needs  of  the 
individual  student.  Efforts  are  made  for  the  counselor  to  keep  in  touch 
v.'ith  the  student's  progress  and  encourage  or  advise  the  student  to  do 
his  work  with  credit  and  satisfaction. 

The  counseling  program  takes  into  consideration  every  phase  of 
adjustment  to  college  life  and  every  effective  means  of  insuring  stu- 
dent development  and  success.  Therefore  the  program  relates  to  even 
the  personal  and  daily  aspects  to  student  life:  such  as,  adjusting  to 
roommates  and  others;  establishing  goals,  vocational  and  otherwise; 
evaluating  ideas;  and  choosing  permanent  values.  Since  college  en- 
trance marks  for  some  students  the  first  Ions;  absence  from  home  and 
for  students  generally  a  determining  period  of  their  lives,  the  counsel- 
ing protjram  becomes  additional! v  significant;  and  Louisburg  sets  as 
one  of  its  major  purposes  the  effective  implementing  and  individualiz- 
ing of  its  program. 

Health  Administration 

A  complete  health  service  is  offered  students  of  Louisburg  Col- 
]c'Xf.  A  dispensary  with  a  graduate  nurse  in  attendance  at  all  times  is 
maintained  for  the  benefit  of  the  students.  Practicing  physicians  of 
the  town  are  also  available.  On  the  campus  are  two  infirmaries,  one 
for  women,  one  for  men.  Prompt  transfer  of  sick  students  to  the  in- 
firmary prevents  delay  in  proper  care  and  insures  the  health  of  the 


_^4 ^^ Loulshurg  College  Bulletin 

college  community.  In  cases  of  serious  illness  parents  or  guardians 
are  notified  at  once.  If  they  cannot  be  reached  speedily  enough  in 
an  emergency,  the  college  will  make  whatever  provision  is  deemed 
expedient  by  the  consulting  physician.  Minor  cases  of  illness  are  cared 
for  in  the  infirmary. 

The  Franklin  County  Memorial  Hospital,  new  and  modemly 
equipped,  is  located  in  the  Town  of  Louisburg. 

In  a  questionnaire  sent  out  to  each  prospective  student  informa- 
tion is  requested  concerning  his  health  history,  that  suggestions  may 
be  made  about  medical  and  surgical  care  advisable  before  the  student 
comes  to  college.  Additional  examinations  may  be  made  whenever 
needed  or  requested.  Records  of  these  are  used  for  reference  when 
questions  concerning  the  number  of  hours  or  courses,  the  amount  of 
extra-curricular  work,  the  extent  of  physical  activit>',  and  similar  prob- 
lems arise.  They  also  serve  as  the  basis  of  follow-up  work  for  correcting 
remediable  defects. 

Students  whose  examinations  reveal  physical  defects  are  excused 
from  the  regular  course  in  physical  education  and  are  assigned  to 
corrective  gymnastics  or  to  sports  especially  adapted  to  their  needs. 

Physical  Education 

The  major  aim  and  objective  in  physical  education  is  to  proxide 
variety  of  activities  in  a  healthful  and  pleasant  environment,  to  meet 
the  needs  of  the  college  students,  and  to  equip  them  \Nith  skills  in 
sports  that  they  may  carry  on  in  their  leisure  time  and  after  gradua- 
tion. 

The  records  of  the  physical  examinations  of  each  student  are  of 
great  value  in  determining  what  t\pe  of  exercise  is  of  most  value  to 
the  students  who  have  some  minor  physical  defect. 

The  physical  education  program  is  planned  to  give  the  younc  men 
and  the  young  women  varied  activities  in  intramural  sports.  Games 
of  tennis,  softball,  volleyball,  basketball,  soccer,  track,  horseshoe, 
ping-pong,  baseball,  archery,  and  badminton  are  played  during  the 
year. 

Women's  Athletic  Association 

The  Women's  Athletic  Association  awards  certificates  for  pins  to 
its  members  for  meritorious  performance  in  athletics  and  sports. 

Monogram  Club 

Sponsored  by  the  director  of  Athletics,  the  Men's  Monogram  Club 
awards  monograms  to  those  who  have  revealed  marked  ability  in 
athletic  activities.  Its  aim  is  to  foster  superior  ideals  of  sportsmanship. 


Campus  Life  25 

Social  Life  and  Entertainment 

Louisburg  is  not  forgetful  of  the  important  part  a  well  balanced 
social  life  plays  in  the  right  development  of  its  student  body.  The  plan 
here  is  peculiarly  favorable  for  a  happy  social  existence.  There  are 
distinct  advantages  to  the  students  in  a  small  college  environment  as 
is  attested  by  the  genial  relationship  of  the  faculty  and  the  students. 

The  social  life  at  Louisburg  is  wholesome  and  democratic.  An 
effort  is  made  by  a  Social  Committee  of  the  faculty  to  maintain  a  fair, 
balanced  program  of  social  activities. 

Annual   Traditions 

Certain  annual  events  at  the  college  have  become  Louisburg

and  faculty  and  friends  of  the  college.

orientation  period,  the  first  formal  function  of  the  school  year. 

The  Home-coming  week-end  and  dinner  are  held  each  year,  and

The  Christmas  party  is  the  annual  gathering  of  the  college  campus 
family. 

The  May  Day  festivities,  sponsored  by  the  Athletic  Department,

Alumni  Banquet  on  Saturday  night;  Baccalaureate  and  sermon  on 
Sunday;  the  President's  reception  for  the  seniors,  their  parents  and

would  add  to  the  comfort  and  attractiveness  of  their  college  home. 
Rugs,  curtains  or  draperies,  lamps,  pictiures,  and  easy  chairs  are  not 
furnished,  and  should  be  supplied  by  the  student  if  he  desires. 

Books  (new  and  used)  and  school  supplies  may  be  purchased 
from  the  College  Book  Store. 

Tennis  shoes  are  required  and  may  be  purchased  before  coming

General  Regulations 

Rooms:  Any  student  who  shall  change  rooms,  remove,  or  exchange 
furniture  without  the  consent  of  the  Dean  or  Housekeeper  is  subject 
to  a  fine  of  two  dollars. 

Week-end  Regulations:  Week-end  trips  are  discouraged  as  harm- 
ful to  the  best  interests  of  both  the  school  and  the  student. 

College  Visitors:  A  student  permitting  a  visitor  to  spend  the  night 
in  his  or  her  room  without  permission  from  the  Deans  will  pay  a  fee 
of  one  dollar  per  night. 

Damage  to  Furniture:  All  damage  to  furniture  or  buildings  must 
be  repaired  at  the  expense  of  the  student  causing  such  damage.  Each 
occupant  of  a  room  will  be  held  responsible  for  its  care  and  preserva- 
tion. 

Gambling  and  Drinking:  Gambling  and  drinking  are  considered 
harmful  to  both  intellectual  and  spiritual  growth  and  indulgence  in 
either  will  be  regarded  as  just  motive  for  dismissal.  Anyone  guilty  of 
possessing  or  using  intoxicating  beverages  on  the  campus  or  appear- 
ing on  the  campus  under  the  influence  of  beverage  alcohol  will  be 
automatically  dismissed. 

General  Conduct:  The  college  expects  of  its  students  loyal  and 
genuine  co-operation  in  developing  high  standards  of  conduct.  The 
college  therefore  deserves  tlie  right,  and  matriculation  of  the  student 
concedes  that-  right,  to  ask  the  withdrawal  of  any  student  whose  con- 
duct at  any  time  is  not  satisfactory  to  the  college,  although  no  specific 
charge  may  be  brought  against  the  student.

General  Academic  Information 31 

Credit  for  work  done  at  other  institutions  will  be  given  on  all  work 
in  which  the  student  has  received  an  average  grade  of  C,  providing 
the  course  is  taught  at  Louisburg  College. 

Registration 

Registration:  One  day  of  each  semester  is  set  aside  for  registration 
of  students.  A  fee  of  $5.00  for  late  registration  will  be  charged  students 
who  register  after  the  day  set  apart  for  this  purpose.  No  student  will 
be  permitted  to  register  after  October  1  for  the  first  semester  and 
February  15  for  the  second  semester. 

Except  in  the  Engineering  course,  the  average  student's  load  is 
fifteen  or  sixteen  hours  exclusive  of  Physical  Education,  unless  he  is 
registered  as  a  part-time  student.  The  minimum  load  that  a  student 
may  take  is  twelve  hours  of  regular  college  work.  A  student  having  a 
B  average  will  be  allowed  to  take  one  extra  hour  per  semester;  a 
student  having  a  standing  between  A  and  B  will  be  permitted  to  take 
two  extra  hours;  and  a  student  having  a  standing  of  A  will  be  allowed 
to  take  three  extra  hours.  Others  must  be  granted  permission  by  the 
registrar. 

By  "hour"  is  meant  a  subject  recited  once  a  week  for  a  semester. 
Two  or  three  hours  in  laboratory  or  Physical  Education  count  for  one 
hour  of  recitation. 

Change  of  Courses:  A  course  may  be  added  within  three  weeks,  or 
a  course  may  be  dropped  within  four  weeks  after  registration  by  get- 
ting permission  from  the  instructor  and  registrar,  after  consultation 
with  the  Counsellor. 

No  credit  will  be  allowed  on  any  course  for  which  the  student  has 
not  properly  registered. 

The  grade  of  a  student  who  withdraws  from  a  course  without  the 
permission  of  the  instructor  and  registrar  is  recorded  as  an  F.  No 
student  who  withdraws  after  four  weeks  can  receive  a  "drop"  in  a 
course. 

Classification:  To  be  classified  as  a  senior,  a  student  must  have 
completed  twenty-eight  semester  hours  of  work  and  have  received  at 
least  twenty-eight  quaHty  points. 

Class  and  Chapel  Attendance:  The  College  expects  regular  chapel 
and  class  attendance  of  all  students.  However,  a  certain  number  of 
unexcused  cuts  are  allowed  for  each  course  during  a  semester.  More- 
over, under  certain  conditions  additional  absences  from  class  and 
chapel  are  permitted. 

The  absence  regulations  regarding  class  cuts  are: 

1.  During  a  semester  one  cut  for  each  semester  hour  for  each 
course  is  allowed. 


32  Louisburg  College  Bulletin 

2.  Absence  from  classes  immediately  before  or  after  holidays  will 
count  as  double  cuts. 

3.  In  the  event  that  a  student  is  late  more  than  10  minutes  to  a 
class,  he  will  be  counted  absent,  unless  he  has  a  reasonably  good 
excuse.  Each  teacher  will  use  his  discretion  in  determining  the 
value  of  the  excuse  for  being  late. 

The  absence  regulations  regarding  chapel  cuts  are: 

1.  Regular  chapel  attendance  is  required  of  all  students. 

2.  Although  chapel  meets  only  twice  a  week  each  student  is  al- 
lowed three  unexcused  cuts  per  semester. 

Accepted  reasons   for   absences   other   than    the    permitted    cuts 
will  be: 

1.  Illness  of  the  student  in  college,  certified  by  the  College  Nurse; 

2.  Illness  of  the  student  away  from  college,  certified  in  a  wTitten 
statement  by  a  physician; 

3.  Death  or  grave  illness  in  the  student's  immediate  family; 

4.  Representing  the  College. 

All  excused  absences  must  be  approved  by  the  Dean  of  Men,  the 
Dean  of  Women,  or  the  College  Nurse. 
Overcutting  a  class: 

1.  If  quality  points  have  been  earned  in  the  course,  they  will  be 
reduced  one  for  each  excess  cut.  If  overcutting  is  in  excess  of 
the  number  of  quaUty  points  earned,  the  grade  \vi\\  be  reduced 
to  the  next  lower  grade. 

2.  In  case  the  student  overcuts  a  course  in  which  he  has  an  average 
of  "D"  or  below,  he  will  be  automatically  dismissed  from  the 
class  at  the  time  the  overcut  occurs.  In  tliis  case  overcutting 
means  failure  in  the  class  thus  overcut  unless  an  appeal  is  taken, 
and  the  Absence  Committee  permits  the  student  to  re-establish 
his  membership  in  the  class. 

3.  Upon  overcutting,  the  student  will  receive  written  notice  from 
the  registrar,  and  a  copy  of  this  notice  \vi\\  be  sent  to  the  in- 
structor concerned.  If  a  student  feels  tliat  his  case  warrants 
special  consideration,  he  may  make  an  appeal  through  the 
registrar  within  one  week  of  the  receipt  of  liis  notification.  The 
appeal  will  be  acted  upon  by  the  Absence  Committee  which,  in 
each  case  heard,  shall  include  tlie  instructor  of  the  class  con- 
cerned. 

4.  Any  student  who  is  absent  from  classes  in  any  course  in  excess 
of  20%  of  the  total  class  meetings,  regardless  of  the  reason  for 
the  absences,  will  be  automatically  dismissed  \\-ith  a  failing 
grade  for  the  course. 

All  regular  college  students  must  carry  a  minimum  load  of  at  least 
12  semester  hours  at  aU  times. 


General  Academic  Injormatwn  33 

Examinations:  Written  examinations  are  held  in  all  classes  at  the 
end  of  each  semester. 

No  deviation  from  the  examination  schedule  is  permitted  except 
by  special  permission  of  the  registrar. 

The  distribution  of  term  grades  will  be  made  from  the  registrar's 
oflBce  and  not  from  individual  teachers. 

Grades  and  Reports:  Reports  are  sent  to  parents  or  guardians  twice 
each  semseter.  The  reports  are  based  upon  the  following  marking: 

A — Excellent    3  quality  points  for  each  semester  hour 

B — Superior   2  quality  points 

C — Average    1   quality  point 

D — Below  average   No  quality  points 

K — Conditional    No  quality  points 

F — Failiu-e 
I — Incomplete 
W— Withdrawn 

A  student  is  allowed  only  one  semester  to  make  up  an  incomplete; 
otherwise  I  becomes  F  and  the  course  must  be  repeated  for  credit. 

If  a  student  fails  to  complete  eight  semester  hours  of  class  work, 
his  record  will  be  reviewed  by  the  Advisory  Council  to  determine 
whether  or  not  the  student  shall  remain  in  college. 

Transcripts:  Each  student  is  entitled  one  oflBcial  transcript  of  his 
work,  provided  all  accounts  with  the  college  are  satisfactorily  arranged. 
Those  requesting  additional  transcripts  should  enclose  a  dollar  for 
service. 

Withdrawal:  A  student  withdrawing  from  the  college  must  notify 
the  registrar  and  his  respective  dean  and  make  satisfactory  arrange- 
ments with  the  treasurer  before  leaving  the  campus.  Any  student  with- 
drawing from  the  college  is  expected  to  confer  with  the  President  of 
the  College.

College  Costs 

Louisburg  College  is  a  non-profit  institution.  Its  purpose  is  to  give 
to  young  people  with  an  ambition  and  a  worthy  piupose,  regardless 
of  their  financial  background,  the  opportunity  to  continue  their  educa- 
tion two  years  beyond  the  high  school  level. 

Through  the  years,  thousands  of  people  have  given  the  resources 
of  the  college:  land,  buildings,  equipment,  operational  expenses,  and 
endowment.  Likewise,  the  teachers  ha\e  given  devoted  service.  Con- 
sequently, the  college  has  kept  its  expenses  down  to  an  absolute 
minimum. 

The  actual  cost,  however,  per  student  has  greatly  exceeded  the 
pubHshed  rates.  Taking  into  consideration,  therefore,  the  cost  of  the 
buildings,  depreciation,  equipment,  instruction,  maintenance,  opera- 
tional expenses,  and  room  and  board  ^vith  a  student  body  of  three 
hundred  and  fift)^  the  cost  per  student  is  estimated  to  be  nearly  nine 
hundred  dollars  a  year.  Total  charges  to  students,  however,  run  con- 
siderably less  than  this  amount. 

There  are  many  parents  and  guardians  who  are  able  and  glad  to 
pay  this  amount.  There  are  others,  however,  who  cannot  pay  this 
sum.  For  those  who  cannot  pay  in  full  the  college  grants  three  forms 
of  aid  to  meet  the  financial  need  of  each  student:  (1)  free  scholar- 
ships, (2)  service  or  labor  scholarships,  and  (3)  loans. 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

Through  the  years  friends  of  the  College  have  contributed  funds 
to  the  endowment  with  the  expressed  desire  that  the  income  from  such 
funds  will  be  used  to  aid  worthy  students.  Although  the  costs  of  attend- 
ing Louisburg  College  are  held  to  a  minimum,  it  is  realized  that  there 
are  a  few  students  who  need  a  little  help.  For  those  worthy  students 
who  can  satisfy  the  College  Administration  as  to  their  need  for  such 
help,  the  Board  of  Trustees  authorized  the  awarding  of  scholarships 
as  indicated  under  "Endowments  and  Scholarships"  as  indicated  on 
pages  58-64. 

EXPENSES 

At  the  time  jof  submitting  the  application  for  admission,  if  it  then 
seems  necessary  to  secure  some  financial  assistance,  the  application  for 
scholarship  should  be  presented.

to  be  used  as  a  loan  to  worthy  students  from  Harnett  County.

aid  ambitious  and  worthy  students  who  need  funds  to  complete  their 
college  course. 

The  M.  S.  Davis  Loan  Fund  has  been  established  at  Louisburg 
College  by  M.  S.  Davis,  of  Louisburg.  The  present  value  of  tliis  loan 
fund  is  $250.00.  It  is  a  revolving  loan  fund,  and,  when  repaid,  will  be

INFORMATION  ABOUT  SCHOLARSHIPS  AND  LABOR  PLAN 

As  explained  on  page  53  Louisburg  College  will  award  fifty  work 
scholarships  to  those  students  who  demonstrate  the  real  need  for  such 
financial  assistance.  These  scholarships  are  valued  at  from  $50.00  to 
$75.00. 

The  appHcation  for  a  memorial  or  service  scholarship  must  be  made 
on  a  form  prepared  by  Louisburg  College  to  be  filled  out  and  signed 
when  application  is  made  for  enti'ance  to  the  college.  In  this  applica- 
tion the  student  should  apply  for  the  smallest  amount  of  service 
scholarship  necessary  to  meet  his  college  expenses  for  the  year.  If  the 
student  wishes  to  go  a  good  grade  of  college  work  in  his  studies,  the 
student  can  not  do  too  much  work  on  a  service  scholarship.  But  if  the 
student  takes  three  years  to  complete  the  course,  then  the  amount  of 
the  service  scholarship  might  be  greater. 

In  making  application  for  a  service  scholarship  the  student  should 
apply  for  the  work  in  which  he  has  had  experience.  Students  can  not 
do  ofiice  work  unless  they  can  take  dictation  and  use  a  typewriter  well. 
All  kinds  of  general  work  such  as  kitchen,  dining  hall,  campus,  and 


64  Louishurg  College  Bulletin 

the  like  are  open  to  all  students,  whether  they  have  had  training  in  the 
work  or  not. 

Appointment  to  Work 

The  Director  of  Labor  appoints  the  student  to  that  kind  of  work 
which  is  best  suited  to  the  applicant,  so  far  as  this  is  possible.  As  the 
number  of  positions  in  each  type  of  work  is  limited,  it  is  impossible 
to  appoint  every  student  to  the  form  of  work  for  which  he  may  apply. 
Office  and  library  positions  are  usually  given  to  second  year  students 
who  have  had  some  special  training  here  at  Louisburg  College  for  this 
kind  of  work. 

Remuneration  for  Work 

The  hourly  pay  for  work  is  governed  by  the  kind  of  work  done  and 
the  skill  of  the  student. 

Special  Service  Scholarships 

Individual  organizations  and  many  friends  of  youth  give  grants  of 
money  annually  in  varying  amounts  to  be  allotted  to  worthy  students 
in  the  form  of  service  scholarships  as  the  college  authorities  may  deem 
best. 

BEQUESTS  TO  LOUISBURG  COLLEGE 

Contributions  to  Louisburg  College  are  always  needed  and  wel- 
come. These  donations  may  be  direct  gifts  for  specific  or  general 
purposes,  or  they  may  take  the  form  of  annuities  or  any  kinds  of 
properties. 

Memorial  Scholarships 

A  memorial  scholarship  established  by  the  gift  of  an  Endowment 
Fund  is  one  of  the  most  acceptable  wa\s  to  memorialize  a  beloved 
companion,  parent,  son,  or  daughter. 

Such  a  fund  each  year  proves  a  blessing  to  three:  the  donor,  to 
the  recipient,  and  to  the  beloved  one  whose  life  of  service  is  kept  in 
constant  memory.
