Detailed  Statements 


IN   REGARD   TO 

Tjhe   Several  ^Departments   of  the   Co/teye. 

ENTRANCE   REQUIREMENTS. 

The  readei-  of  the  outline  of  courses  will  notice  that  three  under- 
graduate degrees  are  offered  by  the  Literary  Department  of  the 
college — B.  A.,  B.  S.,  Ph.  B.  Jt  will  also  be  seen  from  the  follow- 
ing schedule  that  the  preparation  required  for, the  different  courses 
is  not  the  same. 

B.  A.  Degree — The  Bachelor  of  Arts  course  offers  special  instruc- 
tion in  the  departments  of  Latin  and  Greek.  This  course  pre- 
supposes one  [year  of  preparatory  work  in  Greek,  two  in  Latin. 
In  order  to  be  allowed  to  enter  upon  the  B.  A.  course  the  ap- 
plicant must  stand  an  approved  examination  in  English.  Latin- 
Greek,  and  Mathematics. 

B.  S.  Degree — The  Bachelor  of  Science  course  oft'ei^s  special  work 
in  Chemistry,  Physics,  and  Mathematics.  Instead  of  Latin  and 
Greek,  French  and  German  are  studied.  In  order  to  be  allowed 
to  enter  upon  the  B.  S.  course,  the  applicant  must  stand  an  ap- 
pi'oved  examination  in  English  and  Mathematics. 

Ph.  B.  Degree — The  Bachelor  of  Philosophy  course  offei^s  special 
work  in  Histoi'y,  Psychology,  and  English.  The  courses  in 
French  and  German  are  required.  In  order  to  be  allowed  to 
enter  upon  the  Ph.  B.  course,  the  applicant  must  stand  an  ap- 
proved examination  in  English,  Mathematics,  History,  and  Geog- 
raphy. 

LL.  B.  Degree — No  entrance  examination  is  exacted  of  law  stu- 
dents who  apply  for  the  Junior  class.  They  are  expected  to 
have  a  good  elementary  English  education.  Applicants  for  the 
Senior  class  are  examined  in  the  Junior  course. 

THE    MASTER'S   DEGREE. 

Each  school  of  colleffiate  instruction  offers  work  looking  toward 
the  Master's  Degree.  Applicants  for  the  M.  A.,  M.  S.,  or  Ph.  M. 
degree  will  be  required  to  elect  thi'ee  coui'ses  of  study,   not  more 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  19 

than  two  of  which  may  be  in  the  same  school  or  under  the  same  pro- 
fessor. The  principal  subject  chosen — known  as  the  major  course — 
will  be  expected  to  employ  one-half  of  the  applicant's  time  ;  each  of 
the  minor  courses,  one-quarter  of  his  time.  It  is  expected  that  the 
-applicant  for  a  master's  degree,  after  receiving  a  bachelor's  degree, 
spend  at  least  one  year  at  Millsaps  College  engaged  in  graduate 
study.  In  most  cases  non-resident  study  during  two  or  more  years 
will  be  accepted  as  the  equivalent  of  one  year's  resident  work.  All 
examinations  must  be  stood  in  .Jackson.  Attention  is  directed  to  the 
schedule  of  degrees  following  and  to  the  statement  in  connection 
with  the  account  of  work  done  in  each  department.  The  courses  so 
announced  are  major  courses ;  a  minor  course  is  expected  to  require 
for  its  completion  half  the  time  required  for  the  completion  of  a 
major  course. 

M.  A.  Degree — To  take  the  Master  of  Arts  Degree  the  student 
must  choose  for  his  major  course,  Latin,  Greek,  Philosophy,  or 
English.  His  minor  courses  must  be  in  schools  in  which  he  has 
already  finished  the  full  course  for  the  bachelor's  degree. 

JVI.  S.  Degree — To  take  the  Master  of  Science  Degree,  the  student 
must  choose  his  major  and  one  minor  course  from  the  Schools  of 
Chemistry,  Physics,  Geology,  and  Mathematics.  His  second  mi- 
nor must  be  in  a  school  in  which  he  has  already  finished  the  full 
course  for  the  bachelor's  degree. 

Ph.  M.  Degree— To  take  the  Master  of  Philosophy  Degree,  the 
student  must  choose  his  major  course  from  the  Schools  of  Psy- 
chology, History,  French,  German,  and  English.  His  minor 
courses  must  be  in  schools  in  which  he  has  already  finished  the 
full  course  for  the  bachelor's  degree. 

Entrance  £xaminations. 

The  authorities  of  Millsaps  College  prefer  that  applicants  for  ad- 
Tnission  into  the  College  should  submit  themselves  to  the  regular  test 
of  an  entrance  examination.  But  in  case  Principals  of  Preparatory 
Schools  desire  to  have  their  pupils  admitted  on  trial  without  exami- 
nation, arrangements  looking  to  that  end  may  be  made  as  result  of 
correspondence  with  the  College  authorities. 

Special  attention  is  called  to  the  following  statement  of  require. 
ments  for  admission  into  the  several  departments. 

L  English— The  candidate  for  admission  into  the  Freshman 
Class  will  be  examined  on  the  equivalent  of  the  work  done  during 
the  second  year  of  the  Preparatory  Department.  He  is  expected 
to  be  thoroughly  familliar  with  grammatical  forms  and  must  be  ac- 
quainted with  the  elementary  facts  of  practical  rhetoric.     He  will 


20  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

be  required  to  write  a  short  composition — correct  ir  spelling,  jiunc- 
tuation  and  grammar — on  subject  chosen  from  the  books  assigned  to 
be  read  for  that  purpose. 

The  following  books  are  well  suited  for  use  in  preparing  students 
for  admission  into  the  Ereshman  Class  :  Grammar  :  Whitney  and 
Lockwood's  English  Grammar  or  Longmans'  School  Grammar. 
Composition  and  Rhetoric :  Genung's  Outlines  of  Rhetoric,  or  But- 
ler's School  English. 

It  is  desirable  that  the  preparatory  schools  make  use  of  the  lists 
of  books  for  reading  and  study  looking  toward  the  uniform  entrance 
requirements  in  English,  adopted  by  the  principal  American  col- 
leges. This  year  we  shall  examine  on  any  two  books  from  the  1898 
list.  In  1899  we  shall  examine  on  four  books.  Thereafter  we  shall 
require  preparation  on  all  the  books  announced. 

1898.  For  Reading— Milton's  Paradise  Lost— Books  I.  and  II. : 
Pope's  Homer's  Iliad,  Books  I.,  VI.,  XXII.,  and  XXIV.  :  The 
Sir  Roger  De  Coverley  Papers  from  the  Spectator  :  Goldsmith's

Rime  of  the  Ancient  Mariner  ;  Southey's  Life  of  Nelson. 

For  Study — Shakspere's  Macbeth.  Burke's  Speech  on  Concilation

den's  Palamon  and  Arcite  :  The  Sir  Roger  De  Coverly  Papers  : 
Goldsmith's  The  Vicar  of  Wakefield :  Coleridge's  the  Rime  of 
the  Ancient  Mariner  :  DeQuincey's  Flight  of  a  Tartar  Tribe  :

I.  and  II.;  Burke's  Speech  en  Conciliation  with  America:  Car- 
lisle's Essay  on  Burns. 

1900.  For  Reading — Dryden's  Palamon  and  Arcite  :  Pope's  Iliad, 
Books  I.,  VI.,  XXII.  and  XXIV.:  The  Sir  Roger  De  Covei-ley 
Papers  from  the  Spectator :  Goldsmith's  The  Vicar  of  Wake- 
field :  Scott's  Ivanhoe  :  De-Quincey's  Flight  of  a  Tartar  Tribe  : 
Cooper's  Last  of  the  Mohicans :  Tennyson's  Princess :  Lowell's

For  Study— Shakspere's  Macbeth  :  Milton's  Paradise  Lost.  Books 
I.  and  II.:  Burke's  Speech  on  Conciliation  with  America:   Mac- 
aulay's  Essays  on  Milton  and  Addison. 
All  the  books  on  these  lists  appear  in  the  form  of  carefully  anno- 
tated editions  in  the  Longmans's  English  Classics  (Longmans,  Green 
&Co.,  New  York),  in  the  Student's  Series  of  English  Classics  (Leach, 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  21 

Shewell  and  Co.,  Boston),  and   in  the    Standard  English   Classics 
(Ginn  &  Co.,  Boston). 

II.  Latin  and  Greek— Applicants  for  admission  into  the  Fresh- 
man Class  are,  examined  on  the  work  of  the  Preparatory  Depart- 
ment. This,  as  may  be  seen,  comprises,  in  Latin,  the  reading-  of 
four  books  of  Caesar's  Gallic  War,  or  an  equivalent ;  in  Greek,  the 
satisfactory  completion  of  The  First  Greek  Book  ;  and  in  both  lan- 
guages a  careful  study  of  the  forms  and  of  the  leading  principles  of 
the  syntax,  xipplicants  are  expected,  also,  to  have  some  facility  in 
translating  simple  Latin  and  Greek  at  sight  and  in  winting  easy 
English  sentences  in  Latin  and  Greek  prose. 

To  be  more  specific,  a  course  of  study  is  outlined  below  for  the 
guidance  of  the  teachers  of  preparatory  Latin  and  Greek  through- 
out the  State. 

FIRST   YEAR. 

Latin — The   First   Latin   Book     f Collar   and    Daniell):     Gradatim 
(Collar):    Grammar  (Bennett). 

SECOND    YEAR. 

Latin —First  Latin  Readings  (Arrowsmith  and  Whicher):  Ctesar, 
Gallic    War    (Kelsey,    8th   edition):    New    Latin    Composition 
(Daniell):  History  (Creighton"s  Primer). 
Greek— The  First  Greek  Book  (White);    Anabasis   (Goodwin  and 
White):  Grammar  (Goodwin):  History  (Fytt'e's  Primer.) 

To  do  satisfactorily  the  work  here  indicated,  it  will  require  five 
recitations  a  week  of  one  hour  each  for  two  years  in  Latin  :  for  one 
year  in  Greek. 

It  is  thought  advisable  to  set  before  the  students  continuous  pas- 
sages for  translation  as  soon  as  practicable,  and  for  this  purpose  selec- 
tions from  Collar's  Gradatim  and  something  of  the  Anabasis  may 
be  read  toward  the  end  of  the  first  year. 

It  is  recommended  also,  as  a  prerequisite  to  the  best  results,  that 
throughout  the  first  year,  in  both  Latin  and  Greek,  wi-itten  exercises 
be  made  an  essential  part  of  each  day's  work.  During  the  second 
year  of  the  Latin  course  two  exercises  a  week  will  be  sufficient. 

Certainly  as  much  history  as  is  indicated  above  may  be  asked  of 
the  preparatory  schools,  but  it  is  hoped  that  they  will  make  a  place 
also  for  works  of  a  more  discursive  character,  in  which  the  stories 
of  Greece  and  Rome  will  find  more  attractive,  not  to  say  romantic, 
treatment. 

III.  Mathematics.  New  students  applying  for  admission  to  the 
Freshman  Class  in  Mathematics,  unless  they  come  from  correlated 
schools  (see  first  paragraph  on  Entrance  Examinations),  will  be  ex- 
amined  on  Arithmetic,  Algebra  to  quadratic   equations,  and   one 


22  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

book  of  Geometry.  Arithmetic.  Teachers  who  are  preparing-  stu- 
dents for  college  are  advised  to  give  them  a  good  course  in  Arith- 
metic, on  account  of  both  the  practical  and  educational  value  of  the 
subject.  Algebra.  It  will,  in  most  cases,  be  unwise  for  students,  who 
have  spent  nine  or  ten  months  in  the  diligent  study  of  Algebra 
under  a  competent  teacher,  to  apply  for  Freshman  work  in  Mathe- 
matics. Geometry.  In  learning  Geometry,  much  depends  upon  a 
good  start.  A  course  in  concrete  Geometry,  under  a  judicious 
teacher,  will,  it  is  believed,  admirably  prepare  the  way  for  clear 
ideas  on  the  subject. 

The  standards  for  entrance  examinations  are  Wentworth's  Gram" 
mar  School  Arithmetic,  Wentworth's  School  Algebi'a,  and  Went- 
worth's New  Plane  Geometry. 

IV.  History  and  Geography.  An  approved  examination  in 
Physical  and  Political  Geography,  and  in  American  History,  is 
required  for  entrance  into  Freshman  History.  Harper's  School 
Geography  and  Montgomery's  Leading  Facts  of  American  History 
ai'e  recommended  as  covei'ing  the  ground  of  the  examination.

President  Murrah. 

Philosophy  of  the  mental  economy  and  the  great  subject  of 
morals,  as  they  affect  the  heart  and  influence  the  life,  will  be 
taught  with  great  care  and  fidelity.. 

This  school  embraces  two  departments  :

II.  Ethics,  Political  Economy,  Christian  Evidences. 

Throughout  this  School  of  Philosophy  text-books  and  books  of 
reference  of  the  most  approved  character  will  be  used,  and  the 
method  of  instruction  will  be  by  lectures,  by  daily  oral  examina- 
tionss  by  analysis  of  subjects  studied,  and  by  original  theses  to  be 
presented  by  the  students  on  topics  prescribed  relating  to  the  va- 
rious depart7nents  of  the  school. 

The  English  Bible  and  Steele's  Outlines  of  Bible  Study  will  be 
used  as  text-books  in  connection  with  the  Department  of  Biblical 
Instruction. 

COURSE   LEADING   TO   THE   MASTER'S   DEGREE. 

Applicants  for  the  degree  of  M.  A.  or  M.  S.  will  be  required,  in 
this  department,  to  devote  at  least  one  year  to  the  study  of  Hamil- 
ton's Metaphysics,  the  History  of  Philosophy  and  the  Evidences  of 
Christianity. 

Text-Books :  Hamilton's  Lectures,  History  of  Philosophy 
(Schwegler),  Divine  Origin  of  Christianity  (Storrs).

ii.   the  school  of  the  english  language  and  literature. 
Professor  Weber. 

During-  the  Freshman  year  the  leading  i^rinciples  of  practical 
rhetoric  are  reviewed.  The  student  is  drilled  in  careful  expression 
by  means  of  exercises  in  composition,  study  of  work-history  and 
training  in  the  analysis  of  synonyms.  The  fall  session  will  be 
given  to  the  study  of  rhetoric  and  of  etymology.  It  is  believed 
wise  to  consider  the  foreign  element  of  the  English  vocabulary 
before  undertaking  the  study  of  the  native  element,  inasmuch  as 
the  student  is  supposed  to  have  had  two  years'  drill  in  Greek  and 
Latin  before  entering  the  Freshman  class.  Syle's  From  Milton  to 
Tennyson  is  used  in  the  belief  that  it  is  wiser  to  know  a  few  poems 
well  than  to  have  command  of  facts  and  dates  concerning  a  wider 
range  of  English  literature.  Eight  works  of  English  authors 
constitute  the  parallel  reading. 

During  the  spring  term  of  the  Sophomore  Year  the  class  begins 
the  study  of  the  historical  development  of  the  English  language, 
from  Alfred  to  Chaucer.  Cook's  First  Book  in  Old  English  is  used- 
Special  attention  is  paid  to  the  native  element  in  the  English  vocab- 
ulary. Emei'son's  History  of  the  English  Language  serves  as  a 
commentary  on  the  language  of  the  selections  as  arranged  in  the 
Chronological  order.  Pancoasfs  American  Literature  is  used  and 
for  parallel  reading  ©ight  works  of  American  authoi-s  are  read. 

In  the  Junior  year  attempt  is  made  to  study  some  rhetorical  form 
in  a  practical  way.  Some  special  study  of  argumentation  will  be 
undertaken.  Several  famous  arguments  will  be  analyzed  and  briefs 
will  be  prepared.  During  the  spring  term  four  plays  of  Shakspere 
will  be  read  ;  the  parallel  reading  is  eight  plays  of  the  Pre-Shakspe- 
rian  period. 

The  Senior  class  will  enter  upon  a  study  of  the  early  history  of 
Literary  Criticism.  The  class  will  begin  with  a  careful  study  of 
Aristotle's  Poetics  and  Hoi^ace's  Ars  Poetica.  Attention  will  then 
be  turned  to  Sidney's  Defense  of  Poetry,  Ben  Jonson"s  Timber.  Dry- 
den's  Essay  on  Dramatic  Poetry.  French  criticism  will  be  repre- 
sented by  Boileau's  L'Art  Poetique  ;  German  criticism,  by  Lessing's 
Laokoon. 

The  spring  term  will  be  given  up  to  a  careful  study  of  modern 
English  poetry  as  a  vehicle  of  the  poefs  philosophy  of  life.  Tenny- 
son, Wordsworth  and  Browning,  will  be  read  in   copious  selections. 

The  special  course  required  of  applicants  for  the  degree  of  Ph.  B. 
will  be  given  up  to  the  study  of  Nineteenth  Century  literature. 
During  the  fall  term  attention  will  be  turned  to  English  literatre. 
In  the  spring  term  American  literature  will  demand  attention;  La- 
nier's Poems  and  Poe's  Tales  and  Poems  will  be   carefullv  studied.

A  MAJOR  COURSE  IN   ENGLISH   LANGUAGE— Preliminary  to  un- 
dertaking this  work,    it  is  required  that  the  student  complete  the 
course  in    Gothic   offered  by   the  Modern   Language  Department. 
Several    Old   English  poems  will   be  read  :     Christ   (Cook)  :  Elene 
(Kent),  and  Andreas  (Baskervill).     A  serious  study  of  Beowulf  and 
the  Beowulf-question  will  be  undertaken.     It  is  hoped  that  McClum- 
pha's    translation    of   Wuelcker's  Grundriss   Zur    Geschichte    der 
Angelsaechsischen  Litteratur  will  be  ready  in  time  for   use  in  this 
work.     Professor  Weber's  private  Beowulf-collections  will  be  at  the 
service  Of  the  student.     The  Sievers-Cook  Old  English   Grammar 
will    be  in   constant    use.     Selections   from    Alfred's   Orosius    and 
Alfric's  Homilies  will  be  read.  Cook's  pamphlet  on  the  Phonological 
Investigation  of  Old  English  being  used  as  guide  in  linguistic  study. 


26  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

The  three  volumes  of  ten  Brink's  Early  English  Literature  will 
serve  as  basis  for  the  work  in  the  history  of  literature,  the  section 
of  work  on  the  Epic,  together  with  the  essay  of  2000  words,  required 
of  the  students  of  the  literary  course  is  also  assigned  to  the  students 
of  the  language  course. 


iii.    the  school  of  latin  and  greek. 

Professor  Swearingen. 

In  the  outline  of  the  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Arts  the  texts  and  editions  used  in  this  department  are  enumei^ated. 
For  the  guidance  of  students  and  dealers  the  titles  are  there  given 
in  full,  but  it  is  not  to  be  understood  that  in  every  case  the  entire 
ground  indicated  will  be  covered  in  class. 

The  work  of  the  Freshman  Class  is  limited  in  extent  and  is  meant 
to  be  correspondingly  thorough.  The  end  in  view  is  to  furnish  the 
student  with  an  accurate  foundation  for  classical  scholarship.  The 
entire  session  is  therefore  devoted  to  the  study  of  Cicero  and  Xeno- 
phon.  The  forms  are  carefully  reviewed,  the  systematic  study  of 
the  syntax  is  begun,  and  the  importance  of  acquiring  a  vocabulary 
is  at  all  times  emphasized.  Throughout  the  year  daily  practice  in 
infllecting  and  construing  is  kept  up,  and'the  principles  of  syntax  met 
with  in  the  texts  are  practically  applied  to  the  writing  of  weekly 
exercises  in  pi-ose  composition. 

The  main  object  of  the  course  outlined  for  the  Sophomore  Class 
is  to  read  the  texts  selected  with  some  appreciation  of  their  value  as 
works  of  art.  To  this  end  the  class  is  first  put  in  possession  of  the 
literary  and  historical  setting  of  each  selection  by  a  required  course 
of  parallel  reading,  supplemented  by  informal  lectures.  The  at- 
tempt is  then  made  to  teach  the  student  to  understand,  without 
translating,  the  less  involved  passages  of  the  authors  read  and  to 
use  in  translating,  a  pure  English  idiom.  This  ability  to  grasp  the 
thought  in  the  order  of  the  original  is  the  necessary  condition  of  an 
adequate  appreciation  of  the  classics  as  literature.  Reading  at 
sight,  thei'efore,  forms  a  not  unimportant  part  of  the  work  of  the 
class  room,  while  portions  of  the  texts  are,  from  time  to  time,  re- 
quired to  be  turned,  in  writing,  into  the  best  English  which  the 
class  can  command. 

The  Junior  Class  is  assumed  to  have  reached  a  somewhat  ad- 
vanced stage  in  the  study  of  the  classics.  Matters  of  grammatical 
detail  are  therefore  subordinated,  in  the  work  of  this  year,  to 
studies  of  an  historical  and  literary  kind.  Homer  and  Vergil  have 
been  purposely  deferred  until  this  time,  when  the  class  shall,  pre- 
sumably, at  least,  have  attained  such  facility  in  translating  that  the 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  27 

readings  may  be  rapid  and  extensive  and  the  interpretation  intelli- 
gent and  appreciative.  Incidentally  a  study,  iu  outline,  will  be 
made  of  the  Homeric  Question,  of  the  Iliad  and  Aeneid  as  types  o^ 
the  epic,  and  the  history  in  general  of  this  form  of  poetry.  The 
satires  of  Horace  are  made  the  basis  of  a  running  commentary  on 
some  of  the  most  significant  customs  and  institucions  of  the  time- 
In  the  reading  of  his  Epistles  a  critical  and  historical  examination 
of  his  views  on  literature  is  undertaken,  and  due  attention  is  paid 
to  his  philosophic  reflections  as  an  expression  of  the  maturer 
thoughts  and  higher  aspirations  of  the  enlighted  pagan.  In  the 
study  of  the  Attic  tragedy  the  history  of  the  Greek  drama  and  of 
dramatic  contests  at  Athens  is  taken  up,  and  the  results  of  recent 
excavations  on  the  sites  of  ancient  theatres  are  laid  under  contribu- 
tion to  supply  the  setting  and  technical  information  necessary  to  a 
clear  conception  of  a  Greek  play  on  the  stage,  and  so  to  an  intelli- 
gent estimate  of  its  dramatic  as  well  as  its  literary  worth. 

COURSES  LEADING  TO  THE  MASTER'S  DEGREE. 

Two  courses  are  ottered  leading  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts. 
The  one  is  a  literary  course,  designed  to  continue  the  work  of  the 
Junior  year,  and  has  to  do  chiefly  with  the  origin  and  development 
of  the  Greek  drama  and  of  Roman  satire  as  forms  of  literature. 
The  other  is  more  technical  in  character,  and  deals  almost  exclu- 
sively with  the  subject  of  epigraphy.  In  both  courses  a  minimum 
of  history  and  philology  is  required. 

The  scope  of  each  course  is  indicated  by  the  schedule  which  fol- 
lows, of  the  texts  to  be  read  and  of  the  works  of  reference  to  be  used 
in  connection  therewith  : 

I.  In  Either  Course  : 
Remnants  of  Early  Latin  (Allen). 

Grammaire  Compareedu  Grec  et  du  Latin  (Henry),  5th  edition, 

or  the  translation  of  the  2nd  edition. 
History  of  Greece  (Abbott). 
History  of  Rome  (Shuckburgh). 

II.  In  the  Course  in  Literature  : 

A.  Latin. 

Roman  Satire  (Lucilius,  Horace,  Persius  and  Juvenal.) 
The  Roman  Satura  (Nettleship.) 
Roman  Literature  (Cruttwell). 
Latin  Poetry  (Tyrrell). 

B.  Greek. 

Aeschylus,  the  Oresteia. 

Sophocles,  the  Oedipus  Plays. 

Euripides,  the  Alcestis,  the  Hippolytus,  the  Medea- 


28  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

Aristophanes,  the  Frogs. 

Das  Griechische  Theater  (Doerpfeld  und  Reisch). 
Greek  Literature  (Jevons). 
Greek  Poetry  (Jebb) . 
III.    In  the  Course  in  Epigraphy  : 

A.  Latin. 

An  introduction  to  the  Study  of  Latin  Inscriptions  (Egbert.) 
Cours  d'Epigrapbie  Latine  (Cagnat.t 
Historical  Latin  Inscriptions  (Rushforth). 
Exempla  Inscriptionum  Latinarum  (Wilmanns) . 

B.  Grecl: 

An  Introduction  to  Greek  Epigraphy  (Robertson). 

Grammatik  der  attischen  Inschriften  Meisterhans). 

Greek  Historical  Inscriptions  (Hicks). 

The  Dialects  of  Greece  (Smyth). 

Delectus  Inscriptionum  Graecarum  (Cauer). 

Of  the  works  here  enumerated  several  are  required  only  in  part. 
The  candidate  is  expected,  for  example,  to  have  a  general  acquaint- 
ance with  Doerpfeld's  new  theory  of  the  Greek  theatre'  and  of  the 
evidence  which  led  to  his  conclusions,  but  not  necessarily  to  make  a 
minute  study  of  the-book.  The  collections  of  the.  inscriptions,  too, 
by  Wilmanns,  Hicks  and  Cauer,  are  not  to  be  read  entire, but  to  be 
consulted  from  time  to  time  for  further  illustration  of  matters  in- 
adequately presented  in  the  introductions  of  Egbert  and  Robertson. 

The  courses  outlined  above,  in  which  Latin  and  Greek  are  offered 
conjointly,  are  major  courses,  but  they  can  be  so  re-combined  or 
modified  as  to  form  either  a  major  or  minor  course  in  either  sub- 
ject. 

iv.  school  of  chemistry,  experimental  physics,  and  inor- 
ganic geology. 

Professor  Muckenfuss. 

The  rooms  given  up  to  the  study  of  these  subjects  are  modern  both 
in  size  and  convenience,  and  occupy  the  whole  lower  floor  of  Web- 
ster Science  Hall.  The  recitation  room  opens  into  a  dark  room 
for  photography  and  optical  experiments  and  into  a  room  specially 
isolated  and  designed  to  retain  delicate  -physical  apparatus.  It  is 
connected  by  forty  feet  of  folding  doors  with  the  general  laboratory 
by  which  arrangement  a  large  auditorium  forty  by  sixty  feet,  is  ob- 
tainable for  public  scientific  entertainments.  The  general  labora- 
tory opens  conveniently  into  a  small  fuming  room  outside  of  the 
building  so  that  vapors  may  not  pass  from  one  to  the  other,  and  is 
also  connected  with  the  store-room,  over  which  an  assistant  pre- 
sides during  laboratory  hours.    Gas,  water,  experiment  tables,  hoods 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  29 

and  pneumatic  troughs  are  to  be  found  in  convenient  places.  The 
two  front  rooms  are  designed  for  a  musevim  and  for  'analysis,  while 
the  basement  is  intended  for  assaying  and  other  industrial  work. 

In  the  undergraduate  work  of  this  dejjartment,  elementary  instruc- 
tion is  given  in  experimental  physics  and  inorganic  geology  and  a 
full  course  is  provided  in  inorganic,  organic  and  analytic  chemis- 
try, over  half  of  which  consists  of  individual  student  experimenta- 
tion. The  policy  of  employing  three  assistants  enables  the  depart- 
ment to  give  full  efficiency  to  its  equipment. 

Chemistry— This  subject  is  taught  by  recitation  and  by  work 
which  each  student  must  perform  in  the  laboratory.  Recitations  will 
be  fully  illustrated  by  experiments  under  the  charge  of  an  assistant. 
It  is  aimed  that  the  laboratory  be  kept  well  equipped  with  appa- 
ratus necessary  to  the  correct  appreciation  of  the  science.  Each 
student  has  his  own  desk  and  apparatus  and  is  closely  supervised,  so 
that  he  may  not  only  gain  a  true  idea  of  the  substances  under  in- 
spection, but  also  cultivate  a  hand  careful  to  the  smallest  detail^ 
an  eye  observant  of  the  slightest  phenomenon,  and  habits  of  neat- 
ness, skill,  and  economy. 

The  Sophmore  course  consists  per  week  of  four  hours  recitation, 
and  two  afternoons  in  the  labratory  experimenting  with  substances 
considered  in  the  recitation.  Library  copies  of  Watt's  Revised  Dic- 
tionary, Thorpe's  Applied  Chemistry,  and  Roscoe  and  Schorlem- 
mer's  Treatise  are  on  hand  for  reference.  In  the  latter  part  of  the 
year's  labratory  work,  special  attention  will  be  paid  to  inorganic 
preparations.  Each  student  will  make  by  approved  industrial 
methods  many  typical  salts  and  preserve  them  as  specimens. 

The  Junior  course  occupies  three  hours  a  week  in  the  recitation 
room  and  two  afternoons  a  week  in  the  labratory  upon  the  study  of 
organic  compounds.  Many  substances,  especially  those  of  physi- 
ological or  medicinal  importance,  are  prepared  and  studied.  The 
class  spend  in  addition  one  afternoon  in  qualitative  analysis,  as  a 
continuation  to  their  work  of  the  previous  year. 

The  Seniors  spend  two  afternoons  weekly  throughout  the  year 
upon  the  quantitative  analysis  of  drinking  water,  fertilizers,  soils, 
and  ores.     A  special  room  is  fitted  up  for  this  course. 

Finally,  it  should  be  said  that  in  the  laboratoz'y,  text-books  will 
be  dispensed  with  as  far  as  possible.  The  student  is  referred  fve- 
quently  to  the  Fresenius  systems  and  to  the  works  elsewhere  men- 
tioned, but  he  will  be  taught  to  feel  that  the  substances  and  apparatus 
around  him  are  his  alphabet.  The  teacher  will  be  constantly  on 
hand  to  guide  and  encourage,  and  will  endeavor  to  inspii'e.a  love  for 
things,  the  basis  of  books. 

Experimental,  Physics— Three  hours  a  week  are  devoted  by  the 
Junior  class  to  this  study,  the  recitations  being  copiously  illustrated 


30  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

by  experiments  under  the  charge  of  an  assistant.  A  general  view  of 
physics  is  gotten  by  the  end  of  the  third  quarter,  after  which  some 
special  topics,  as  heat  and  electricity,  or  light  and  sound,  are  taken 
up  in  a  more  advanced  way. 

The  Senior  course  includes  those  topics  that  bear  on  both  physics 
and  chemistry,  and  is  given  in  -form  of  lectures  upon  the  history  of 
physics  and  chemistry,  theoretical  physics  and  chemistry,  and  phj-s 
ical  chemistry.  All  these  subjects  are  not,  of  course,  presented 
during  the  three  quarters  of  a  year  that  are  included. 

Inorganic  Geology — This  subject  occupies  two  hours  a  week 
during  the  Senior  year,  and  includes  the  study  of  crystallography, 
physical  and  descriptive  mineralogy,  structural  and  dynamical  geol- 
ogy. During  the  consideration  of  the  last  division,  the  class  meets 
one  afternoon  every  other  week  for  field  work  within  a  radius  of 
ten  miles  of  Jackson.  Descriptive  mineralogv  is  taught  by  lectures 
and  is  well  illustrated  by  crystal  models  and  by  a  museum  of  300 
specimens  collected  from  various  parts  of  the  world. 

COURSES  LEADING  TO  THE  MASTER'S  DEGREE. 

Graduate  work  is  offered  in  this  department  in  chemistry,  exper- 
imental physics,  or  inorganic  geology.  For  eith-er  course,  in  addi- 
tion a  line  of  reading,  540  hours  of  laboratory  work  are  required, 
being  half  of  the  college  time  for  one  year.  ^    ■ 

v.  the  school  of  mathematics  and  astronomy. 

Professor  Moore. 

The  genei'al  aim  is  to  have  the  work  of  the  department  brought 
within  such  limits,  and  made  so  systematic  and  thorough  as  to  se- 
cure to  the  student  a  mastery  of  leading  principles  and  methods,  for 
it  is  believed  that  only  in  this  way,  whether  the  end  had  in  view  is 
a  practical  application  of  the  knowledge  acquired,  or  mental  discip- 
line and  development,  can  the  best  results  be  obtained. 

While,  in  all  tne  classes,  the  text-book  will  furnish  the  basis  for 
instruction,  still  the  explanations  and  demonstrations  of  the  Professor 
on  leading  and  crucial  points  of  the  science  must  be  regarded  as  an 
essential  part  of  the  course. 

The  Freshman  class  studies  Algebra  and  Geometry.  In  Algebra 
the  aim  will  be  to  secure  to  the  student,  besides  skill  and  accuracy 
in  the  performance  of  algebraic  operations,  an  increased  power  of 
abstract  analysis  and  reasoning.  In  Geometry  the  student  will  be 
aided  in  forming  correct  geometrical  conceptions  and  in  gaining  an 
insight  into  the  true  spirit  and  methods  of  geometrical  reasoning. 
Weekly  original  exercises  will  be  required. 

In  the  Soptimore  Year  Plane  and  Spherical   Trigonometry  and 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  31 

Surveying-  are  studied  and  completed,  and  Analytic  Geometry  is 
begun.  Trigonometry  receives  the  attention  which  its  importance 
demands,  and  the  course  in  surveying  embraces  recitations,  field 
work  with  the  tape,  chain,  compass  and  transit,  and  private  work. 
During  the  second  term,  plane  Analytic  Geometry  through  the 
ellipse  is  studied,  Nichols'  Analytic  Geometry,  chapter  1—7. 

The  Junior  class  completes  Analytic  Geometry  and  studies  the 
Diffei^ential  and  IntegaL  Calculus.  The  elegant  methods  of  mathe- 
matical investigation  claiming  the  student's  attention  during  this 
year  are  shown  to  combine  logical  rigor  with  great  efficiency,  brev- 
ity and  comprehensiveness.  The  aim  is  to  secure  to  the  student 
some  degree  of  appreciation  of  these  methods,  and  of  skill  in  their 
use. 

The  Junior  B.  A.  class  (3  hours  per  week)  studies,  during  the  first 
term,  the  ellipse,  the  hyperbola,  loci  of  the  second  order,  and  higher 
plane  curves.  Nichols'  chapters  8,  9,  10.  Also,  the  introductory 
principles  of  the  Calculus  and  the  differentiation  of  functions.  Tay- 
lor's Calculus,  chapters  1  and  2.  During  the  second  term,  this  class 
studies  the  simple  operations  of  integration  with  application  to  geom- 
etry and  mechanics:  successive  differentiation;  the  demonstration  of 
the  incomplete  forms  of  Taylor's  aud  McLaurin's  formulas  and  their 
applications  to  the  development  of  functions  into  series;  maxima  and 
minima  of  the  functions  of  a  single  variable  :  tangents,  normals 
and  assumptotes  ;  integration  of  rational  fractions  ;  integration  by 
relationalization ;  integration  by  parts ;  lengths  and  areas  of  plane 
curves  ;  areas  of  surfaces  of  revolution,  and  volumes  of  solids  of  rev- 
olution.    Taylor's  Calculus,  chapters  3,  4,  7,  10,  13,  14,  15,  16. 

The  Junior  B.  S.  Class,  in  addition  to  the  above  course,  studies 
in  two  extra  hours  per  week,  the  following  course :  First  term, 
Solid  Analytic  Geometry,  Nichols',  Part  II,  entire.  Second  term, 
successive  integration  with  applications  to  mechanics  ;  indetermi- 
nate forms  ;  the  completion  of  Taylor's  and  Maclaurin's  formulas 
with  applications  :  functions  of  two  or  more  variables  with  change 
of  the  independent  variable  ;  direction  of  curvature  ;  singular  points 
and  curve  tracing  ;  curvature,  envelopes,  and  order  of  contact  ;  in- 
tegration by  parts  and  by  series  ;  the  method  of  infinitesimals  and 
integration  as  a  summation  with  applications.  Taylor,  Chapters  5, 
6,  7,  9,  11,  12,  15  and  17. 

The  Senior  Class  studies  General  Astronomy  through  the  entire 
year.  It  is  meant  to  supply  that  amount  of  information  upon  the 
subject  which  may  be  fairly  expected  of  every  "liberally  educated" 
person.  The  course  will  give  a  clear  and  accurate  presentation  of 
leading  astronomical  facts,  principles  and  methods.  The  members 
of  the  Senior  Class  who  are  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Science  study  also  during  the  first  term,  the  Elements  of  Mechanics, 


32  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

in  which  an  acquaintance  with  the  Calculus  will  be  presumed,  and 
during  the  second  term,  Determinants  and  the  The  Theory  of  Equa- 
tions. A  full  comprehension  of  the  studies  of  this  year  will  enable 
the  student  to  enter  upon  enlarged  investigations  of  the  laws  of 
force  and  motion  as  exhibited  both  in  terrestial  and  celestial  phe- 
nomena, and  to  pursue  successfully  more  advanced  studies  in  the 
modern  mathematics. 

COURSES  LEADING  TO  THE  MASTER'S  DEGREL. 

The  following  courses  are  offered,  in  this  dejoartment.  to  appli- 
cants for  the  Master's  Degree  : 

I.  For  the  M.  A.  and  Ph.  M.  Degrees — 1.  Acoustics  and  Optics, 
(Bartlett);  2.  Spherical  and  Practical  Astronomy  (Chauvenet,  Vol. 
I.);  3.  Theory  of  Instruments  (Chauvenet,  Vol.  II.):  4.  History  of 
Astronomy. 

II.  For  the  M.  S.  Degree — 1.  Differential  Equations  (Murray):  2. 
Analytical  Mechanics  ;  3.  Mechanical  Astronomy  ;  4.  History  of  As- 
tronomy. 


vi.     the  school  of  history. 
Professor  Hanner. 

The  advantages  to  be  derived  from  the  study  of  history  are  two. 
fold  :  Those  which  make  for  mental  discipline  and  those  which  con- 
tribute to  our  stock  of  necessary  information.  Its  disciplinary  value 
is  manifested  in  an  increased  power  to  think,  in  the  habit  acquired 
of  thinking  by  orderly  and  correct  methods,  and  in  the  gaining  of  a 
knowledge  of  one's  own  powers  of  accomplishment.  Those  powers 
of  the  niind  which  the  study  of  history  especially  develops  are  mem- 
ory, judgment,  and  the  power  of  expression.  Dates,  those  bugbears 
of  many  students,  while  they  lose  most  of  their  terrors  when  a  rela- 
tion of  cause  and  effect  has  been  established  between  the  events  for 
which  they  stand,  serve  to  inculcate  that  accuracy  and  definiteness 
of  recollection  so  much  to  be  desired. 

The  problems  of  history  are  the  problems  of  every  day  life,  and 
as  such  they  can  not  be  solved  by  any  set  rules  or  formiil*,  but  tlie 
judgment  must  be  exercised  in  a  greater  degree  than  in  any  other 
study. 

Another  significant  advantage  of  this  study  is  that  it  may  give 
valuable  training  of  the  powers  of  expression,  both  oral  and  written, 
n  the  practice  of  narration  and  in  the  supplying  of  topics  for  both 
brief  and  long  composition  work.  In  law  and  journalism  the  infor- 
mation that  it  supplies  is  indispensable,  and  foi-  every  citizen  it  is 
needed  for  the  comprehension  of  literature,  for  the  understanding 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  33 

of  political  institutions  and  for  the  basis  of  a  well-founded,  intelli- 
gent love  of  country. 

The  course  offered  extends  through  three  years  ;  the  first  year  is 
devoted  to  the  study  of  the  Eastern  and  the  European  peoples  :  the 
second  year  to  England  and  the  United  States  ;  the  third  yeai-  to 
the  constitutional  history  of  the  United  States. 

The  first  quarter  of  the  Freshman  year  will  be  given  to  the  study 
of  the  Eastern  nations  and  Greece,  especial  attention  being  paid  to 
the  latter.  The  student  will  be  assigned  parallel  reading  in  Grote, 
Cox,  Sankey,  and  Curtius,  which  are  to  be  found  in  the  College  Li- 
brary. 

Roman  History  will  be  studied  during  the  second  quarter.  Gib- 
bon, Capes.  Merivale,  Beesley,  Smith,  and  Mommsen  will  afford 
parallel  reading. 

The  third  and  fourth  quarters  will  be  devoted  to  the  study  of  Me- 
dieval and  Modern  (European)  History. 

The  History  of  England  will  be  studied  during  the  first  term  of 
the  Sophomore  year.  Macaulay,  Hume,  Green,  Lecky,  Gardiner, 
Stubbs,  and  Morris  will  be  used  as  parallel  reading.  The  second 
term  of  the  Sophomore  ahd  the  whole  of  the  J  unior  year  are  given

nior year  will  be  supplemented  with  readings  from  Schouler.  Ban. 
croft,  McMaster,  Adams,  Fisher,  Hart. 

COURSE  LEADING  TO  THE  MASTER'S  DEGREE. 

A  course  in  histoi'y,  whose  aim  is  to  develop  the  power  of  investi- 
gation and  criticism,  is  ottered.  The  student  will  be  required  to 
prepare  original  papers  on  topics  relating  to  Amei-ican  History. 
These  papers  will  be  read  and  discussed  at  such  times  as  the  Pro- 
fessor in  charge  may  designate. 

In  addition  to  these  essays,  oral  reports  on  assigned  portions  of 
such  writers  as  Schouler,  Cui'tis,  Bancroft,  Bryce,  Lecky,  Hil- 
dreth,  will  be  heard  and  discussed  at  regular  meetings. 

VII.  THE  SCHOOL  OF  THE  MODERN  LANGUAGES. 

FRENCH  AND  GERMAN. 

Professor  Hanner. 

A  course  extending  through  two  years  is  ottered  in  each  of  these 
languages.     The  aim  of  the  course  is  to  give  the  student  a  thorough 


34  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

mastery  of  the  fundamental  principles  of  the  two  languages,  a  cor- 
rect pronunciation  of  French  and  of  German,  and  a  fair  acquaint- 
ance with  the  literature  of  both  nations. 

The  first  term  of  the  Freshman  year  is  devoted  to  the  study  of 
Grammar,  to  the  translating  of  simple  English  sentences  and  idioms 
into  the  corresponding  French  and  German,  and  to  daily  practice 
in  pronunciation. 

During  the  second  term  of  the  Freshman  year  the  class  will  read 
easy  prose,  especial  attention  being  given  to  form  work,  to  an  idio- 
matic translation,  and  to  the  application  of  the  rules  learned  during 
the  first  term.  The  exercises  in  pronunciation,  and  the  translation 
of  English  into  French  and  German,  are  continued  throughout  the 
year. 

The  importance  of  acquiring  a  full  and  accurate  vocabulary  is 
constantly  impressed  upon  the  student. 

In  the  Sophomore  year  the  minor  details  of  Grammar  are  subor- 
dinated, and  the  languages  are  studied  from  a  literary  standpoint. 
During  the  first  term  of  this  year  the  class  in  French  will  study 
snch  representative  prose  writers  as  Victor  Hugo,  Balzac,  Daudet. 
Merimee  and  Halevy. 

The  class  in  German  will  read  during  the  same  time  a  production 
of  Schiller  and  one  of  Storm.  During  the  second  term,  the  class  in 
French  will  make  a  critical  study  of  some  of  the  masterpieces  of 
the  dramatic  artists  of  the  seventeenth  century. 

The  class  in  German  will  devote  the  second  term  to  Heine  and 
Goethe,  and  will  also  make  a  study  of  some  of  the  most  celebrated 
of  the  shorter  poems  of  the  language. 

Throughout  the  session  weekly  exercises  in  translating  English 
into  French  and  German  are  required.  Class-room  work  is  supple- 
mented with  parallel  reading,  on  which  reports  are  had  from  time 
to  time. 

COURSES   LEADING   TO   THE   MASTER'S   DEGREE. 

Two  courses  will  be  offered  to  applicants  for  the  Master's  Degree. 

I.  A  course  in  Gothic  and  Middle  High  German.  The  texts  used 
will  be  :  Gothic  Grammar  (Bi^aune);  Gotische  Etymologic  (Feist): 
Mittelhochdeutsche  Grammatik  (Paul):  Armer  Heinrich  (Robert- 
son) ;  Nibelungenlied  (Piper) ;  History  of  German  Literature 
(Scherer). 

II.  A  course  in  Old  French.  The  Chanson  de  Roland  will  be 
studied  from  a  literary  and  a  comparative  standpoint.  The  relation 
between  modern  and  old  French  will  be  traced.  Brachet's  Histor- 
ical Grammar  and  G.  Paris's  La  Litterature  Francaise  au  Moyen 
Age  will  also  be  studied.

THE   FACULTY. 

Rev.  William  Beltox  Murrah,  D.  D.,  LL.  D..  President. 

Edward  Mayes,  LL.  D.,  Dean. 

Assisted  bv  selected  and  able  occasional  Lecturers. 


In  the  original  foundation  of  Millsaps  College  it  was  designed  by 
its  promoters  to  establish,  in  due  season  and  when  the  success  of  the 
Literary  Department  should  be  assured,  a  Department  of  Profes- 
sional Education,  embodying  a  Law  and  a  Theological  School. 

In  the  year  1896  the  time  came  vhen.  in  the  judgment  of  the 
Trustees,  it  was  possible  and  proper  to  establish  the  Law  Depart- 
ment. Accordingly  they  directed  that,  at  the  beginning  of  the 
then  next  session,  the  doors  of  this  institution  should  be  opened  for 
students  of  law":  and  Professor  Edward  Mayes  was  engaged  to  take 
the  active  control  and  instruction  of  that  class. 

Our  Law  School  was  not.  even  then,  in  any  sense  an  experiment. 
Before  that  step  was  determined  on  a  respectable  class  was  already 
secured  for  the  first  session.  Dr.  Mayes  came  to  us  with  over  four- 
teen years  of  experience  as  a  law  professor  in  the  State  University, 
and  with  a  reputation  for  ability  and  skill  as  an  instructor  w^hich 
was  thoroughly  established.  He  had  already  secured  the  valuable 
assistance  of  a  number  of  most  accomplished  lawyers,  who  promised 
to  deliver  occasional  lectures,  thus  adding  greatly  to  the  interest 
and  variety  of  the  instruction  offei'ed.  These  gentlemen  were, 
besides  others  whose  aid  was  afterwards  obtained,  Judge  J.  A.  P. 
Campbell,  ex-Chief  Justice  of  the  Supi-eme  Court:  Hon.  Frank 
Johnston,  ex- Attorney-General  :  Hon.  S.  S.  Calhoon,  ex-Circuit 
Judge  and  President  of  the  Constitutional  Convention  :  Hon.  Thos. 
A.  McWillie,  State  Reporter. 


36  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

The  total  attendance  during-  the  first  year  was  twenty-eight,  of 
whom  fifteen  were  classed  as  Seniors.  At  the  expiration  of  the 
college  year  fifteen  students  presented  themselves  to  the  Hon.  H.  C. 
Conn,  Chancellor,  presiding  over  the  Chancery  Court,  for  examina- 
tion for  license  to  practice  law,  in  conformity  with  the  requirements 
of  the  Annotated  Code  of  1892.  They  were  subjected  to  a  rigid 
written  examination,  in  open  court,  and  their  written  answers 
were,  as  the  law  directs,  forwarded  by  the  Chancellor  to  the  Su- 
preme Judges.  Every  applicant  2J(^ssed  this  ordeal  successfully  and 
received  his  license.  Not  one  failed.  The  names  of  those  fifteen  young- 
lawyers  are  given  on  page  3  of  this  catalogue. 

We  point  with  pride  to  this  result  of  the  first  year's  work  of  our 
school.  The  nature  of  the  examination  passed,  being  held  by  the 
Chancellor  in  his  official  character,  and  the  examination  answers 
being  graded  and  valued  exclusively  by  the  Judges  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  puts  beyond  question  or  cavil  the  genuineness  of  that  result. 
We  do  not  ask  of  our  patrons,  or  of  those  who  may  contemplate 
becoming  our  patrons,  to  accept  any  statement  of  our  own,  or  any 
finding  of  our  own.  The  finding  and  the  statement  are  those  of  the 
Judicial  Department  of  the  State  :  and  every  law  graduate  of  Mill- 
saps  College  stands  before  the  world  endorsed  not  by  the  College 
alone  (which  is  much),  but  also  by  the  State  itself,  speaking  through 
its  Supreme  Judges.  This  is  more  than  can  be  said  for  any  other 
young  lawyers  in  the  State.  None  other  have  such  a  double  ap- 
proval as  part  of  their  regular  course. 

The  location  of  the  school  at  Jackson  enables  the  managers  to 
oft'er  to  the  students  extraordinary  advantages,  in  addition  to  the 
institution  itself.  Here  is  located  the  strongest  bar  of  the  State, 
whose  management  of  their  cases  in  court,  and  whose  arguments 
will  furnish  an  invaluable  series  of  object  lessons  and  an  unfailing- 
fountain  of  instruction  to  the  students.  Here  also  are  located 
courts  of  all  kinds  known  in  the  State,  embracing  not  only  the  ordi- 
nary Municipal  and  the  Circuit  and  Chancery  Courts,  but  also  the 
United  States  Court  and  the  Supreme  Court.  Thus  the  observant 
student  may  follow  the  history  and  course  of  eases  in  actual  litiga- 
tion, froin  the  lowest  tribunal  to  the  highest :  and  observe,  in  their 
practical  operation,  the  nice  distinction  between  the  State  and 
Federal  jurisdiction  and  practice.  Hei*e  also  is  located  the  extensive 
and  valuable  State  Law  Library,  unequaled  in  the  State,  the  privi- 
leges of  which  each  student  may  enjoy  v.-ithout  cost.  Here,  too, 
where  the  Legislature  convenes  every  second  year,  the  student  has 
an  opportunity,  without  absenting  himself  from  his  school,  to  wit- 
ness the  delioerations  of  that  body  and  observe  the  passage  of  the 
laws  which,  in  after  life,  he  may  be  called  upon  to  study  and  apply : 
thus  he  acquires  a  knowledge  of  the  methods  and  practice  of  legis- 
lation.

REQUIREMENTS. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  the  Junior  class  must  be  at  least  nine- 
teen years  of  age  :  those  for  admission  to  the  Senior  Class  must  be 
at  least  twenty.  Students  may  enter  the  .Junior  Class  without  any 
preliminary  examination,  a  good  English  elementary  education 
being  all  that  is  required.  Students  may  enter  the  Senior  Class 
upon  satisfactory  examination  on  the  matter  of  the  Junior  course  or 
its  equivalent.  Xo  student  %Yill  be  graduated  on  less  than  five 
months  of  actual  attendance  in  the  school. 

Each  student  will  be  required  to  present  satisfactory  certificates 
of  good  moral  character. 

Each  student  will  be  required  to  pay  a  tuition  fee  upon  entrance. 
of  fifty  dollars  for  the  session's  instruction.  Xo  rebate  from  this  fee 
will  be  made  because  a  student  may  desire  to  attend  for  a  period  less 
than  a  full  session. 

COURSE   OF    STUDY. 

The  full  course  of  study  will  consist  of  two  years,  the  Junior  and 
the  Senior,  each  comprising  forty -weeks,  five  exercises  per  week. 

The  instruction  will  consist  mainly  of  daily  oral  examination  of 
the  students  on  lessons  assigned  in  standard  text-books.  Formal 
written  lectures  will  not  be  read.  The  law  is  too  abstruse  to  be 
learned  in  that  way.  The  professor  will  accompany  the  examina- 
tion by  running  comments  upon  the  text,  illusti-ating  and  explain- 
ing it,  and  showing  how  the  law  as  thei'ein  stood  has  been  modified 
or  reversed  by  recent  adjudications  and  legislation. 

The  course  will  be  carefully  planned  and  conducted  so  as  to  meet 
the  requirements  of  the  "Mississippi  law  in  respect  to  the  admission 
of  applicants  to  pi'actice  law.  by  examination  before  the  Chancery 
Court,  and  will  therefore  embrace  all  of  the  titles  prescribed  by  law 
for  that  examination,  viz  :  (1)  The  law  of  Real  property;  (2)  The 
law  of  Personal  property  :  (3)  The  law  of  Pleading  and  Evidence  : 
(4)  The  Commercial  Law :  (5)  The  Criminal  Law:  (6)  Chancery  and 
Chancery  Pleadings  :  (7j  The  Statute  Law  of  the  State  :  (8)  The 
Constitution  of  the  State  and  the  L'nited  States. 

The  objects  set  for  accomplishment  by  this  school  are  two  :  First. 
to  prepare  young  men  for  examination  for  license  to  practice  law,  in 
such  manner  as  both  to  ground  them  thoroughly  in  elementary  legal 
principles  and  also  to  prepare  them  for  examination  for  license  with 
assurance  of  success  ;  Secondly,  to  equip  them  for  actual  practice 
by  a  higher  range  of  legal  scholarship  than  what  is  merely  needed 
for  a  succefsful  examination  for  license.  Therefore  our  course  of 
study  is  so  arranged  as  fully  to  meet  both  of  these  ends. 

First — The  curriculum  of  the  Junior  Class  will  embrace  each  of 


38  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

the  eight  subjects  on  which  the  applicant  for  license  is  required  hy 
the  Code  to  be  examined.  A  careful,  detailed  and  adequate  course 
is  followed,  so  that  any  student,  even  although  he  shall  never  have 
read  any  law  before  coming  to  ns,  if  he  will  apply  himself  with  rea- 
sonable fidelity,  can  go  before  the  Chancellor,  at  the  expiration  of 
his  Junior  year,  with  a  certainty  of  success.  The  preparation  of 
applicants  for  license,  in  one  year,  will  be,  in  short,  a  specialty  of 
this  school. 

When  a  student  shall  have  completed  his  Junior  year,  he  will 
have  open  to  him  either  one  of  two  courses  :  He  may  stand  his  ex- 
amination for  'license  before  the  Chancellor,  or  he  may  stand  his 
examination  before  the  law  professor  simply  for  advancement  to  the 
Senior  Class  if  he  does  not  care  to  stand  for  license  at  that  time 
If  he  shall  be  examined  before  the  Chancellor,  and  pass,  he  will  be 
admitted  to  the  Senior  Class,  of  course,  and  without  further  exami- 
nation, in  case  he  shall  desire  to  finish  his  course  with  us  and  take  a 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Laws.  On  the  other  hand,  if  he  prefers  to 
postpone  his  examination  for  license,  he  can  be  examined  by  the 
professor  for  advancement  merely,  and  stand  his  test  for  license  at 
the  hands  of  the  court  at  the  end  of  the  Senior  year. 

As  stated  above,  the  Senior  year  is  designed  to  give  to  the  student 
a  broader  and  deeper  culture  than  is  needed  only  for  examination 
for  a  license.  It  is  not.  strictly  speaking,  a  post-graduate  course, 
since  it  must  be  taken  before  graduation  :  but  it  is  a  post-licentiate 
course,  and  the  degree  conferred  at  its  conclusion  represents  that 
much  legal  accomplishment  in  excess  of  the  learning  needed  for 
license  to  practice. 

More  specifically  stated  the  course  of  study  for  each  year  will  be 
as  follows  :

40  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 


Cbe  [preparatory  Department, 


Head  Master  Ricketts. 
Assistant  Master  Bailey. 

The  main  object  of  this  Department  is  to  prepare  students  for  the 
Freshman  class  of  the  College.  The  lack  at  present  of  good  train- 
ing schools  in  our  State  makes  the  need  for  such  a  department  im- 
perative. To  students  who  find  it  necessary  to  leave  home  in  order 
to  fit  themselves  for  college,  we  offer  special  advantages.  By 
coming  here  they  will  be  quickly  and  thoroughly  prepared  for  the 
regular  college  classes.  Young  men  who  are  prepared  for  college 
in  their  English  studies,  but  who  are  behind  in  their  Latin  or 
Greek,  will  find  in  this  department  the  facilities  they  need  for 
bring  up  these  studies. 

requirements  for  admission. 

No  student  will  be  admitted  into  this  Department  who  is  under 
12  years  of  age.  For  entrance  into  the  First  Y_ear  Preparatory 
Class,  the  pupil  must  be  able  to  read  well,  and  must  display  a  fair 
knowledge  of  the  rudiments  of  Englsh  Grammar,  Geography,  and 
Arithmetic.  In  other  words,  he  should  be  familiar  with  the  leading 
facts  in  descriptive  geography,  particularly  that  of  Europe  ana 
America ;  should  be  pi'epared  to  solve  intelligently  examples  in 
Grammar  School  Arithmetic  to  Compound  Interest :  and  in  English 
Grammar,  should  know  well  the  parts  of  speech  and  their  modifica- 
tion, and  the  construction  and  analysis  of  simple  sentences. 

Applicants  for  admission  into  the  Second  Year  Class  will  be  ex- 
pected to  have  completed  Geogra^jhy,  LTnited  States  History,  Gram" 
mar  School  Arithmetic,  Algebra  to  Fractions  and  Intermediate 
Grammar.  In  case  Latin  is  studied  the  candidate  will  be  examined 
on  Collar  and  Daniell's  First  Latin  Book,  or  its  equivalent.  As  the 
transition  from  disconnected  sentences  to  Caesar  would  be  too  ab- 
rupt for  most  students,  selections  from  Viri  Romae  are  j-ead  in  class 
during  the  last  quarter  of  the  first  year,  in  connection  with  the 
First  Latin  Book.  It  is  therefore  recommended  that  students  pre- 
paring to  enter  the  Ctesar  class  read  at  least  fifty  pages  in  this  or 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  41 

some  equivalent  text-book.  During  the  past  session  the  class  in 
Caesar  read  the  first  four  books  of  the  Gallic  War. 

Greek  is  begun  in  the  second  year  of  the  Preparatory  course, 
White's  First  Geek  Book  being  the  text-book  used.  Pupils  are 
thoroughly  drilled  on  the  forms  of  the  language,  and  are  also  famil- 
iarized with  the  principles  of  syntax  treated  of  in  the  latter  part  of 
the  First  Book.  This  language  is  so  taught  as  to  render  the  stu- 
dent able  by  the  end  of  the  session  to  convert  English  sentences  of 
moderate  difficulty  into  Greek,  and  to  translate  passages  from  Xen- 
ophon  with  facility. 

In  the  second  term  of  the  second  year  the  study  of  practical  rhet- 
oric is  begun.  The  student  is,  at  this  point,  drilled  in  the  correc- 
tion of  exercises  in  false  syntax,  and  is  taught  to  distinguish  the 
principal  figures  of  speech.  Compositions  are  required  every  two 
weeks  throughout  the  session. 

The  course  in  English  is  designed  not  only  to  teach  the  student  to 
write  and  speak  with  grammatical  correctness,  but  also  to  inspire  in 
him  a  love  of  good  literature.  The  reading  and  study  of  classics 
like  Scott's  Lady  of  the  Lake  and  'Ben  Franklin's  -Autobiography 
can  hardly  fail  of  being  beneficial  in  effect. 

Those  who  do  not  take  a  regular  college  course  will  be  expected  to 
pursue  all  the  studies  laid  down  with  the  exception  of  Latin  and 
Greek.  Physical  Geography  and  Civil  Government  are  not  required 
of  those  taking  Greek.  In  the  Avork  of  the  Department,  thorough- 
ness at  all  times  insisted  upon. 

In  the  second  year  a  short  course  in  Science  is  offered:  so  that  the 
work  of  the  Department  now  covers  all  that  is  required  for  a  first 
grade  teacher's  certificate  in  the  public  schools  of  our  State. 

Students  in  this  department  who  wish  to  prepare  themselves  for 
ordinary  business  life,  may  have  their  studies  directed  to  this  end. 
The  work  so  arranged  will  embrace  the  Preparatory  English  Course 
with  the  addition  of  Book-keeping.  Special  attention  will  be  given 
also,  to  PennmanshiiD,  Practical  Composition  and  Commercial 
Arithmetic. 

Those  who  purpose  taking  this  course  should  correspond  with  the 
President  or  with  the  Headmaster  of  the  Department.

MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  49 


(Beneral  Ifnformatton. 


Millsaps  College  is  named  in  honor  of  Major  R.  W.  Millsaps. 
whose  munificent  gifts  have  made  the  existence  of  the  institution 
possible.  The  College  is  the  property  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  South,  and  was  organized  by  the  concurrent  action  of  the 
Mississiijpi  and  North  Mississippi  Conferences.  It  is  not  sectarian, 
however,  but  numbers  among  its  patrons  members  of  all  the  Chris- 
tian denominations. 

The  College  has  an  endowment  of  $100,000.  and  several  partially- 
endowed  scholarships.  The  buildings  and  grounds  are  worth  $70,- 
000  or  more.  The  first  scholastic  session  began  September  the 
29th,  1892.  and  the  College  has  had  remarkable  prosperity  from  the 
beginning.  The  generous  founder,  Major  Millsaps,  has  put  the 
College  under  renewed  obligation  by  the  gift  of  the  Webster  Science 
Hall,  at  a  cost  of  $10,000. 

.    LOCATION. 

Jackson,  the  Capital  of  the  State  and  the  seat  of  the  College,  is 
easily  accessible  by  four  lines  of  railway.  Twelve  passenger 
trains  ari'ive  and  depart  daily.  The  College  is  located  just  north 
of  the  city,  on  a  commanding  elevation,  with  perfect  drainage,  and 
and  in  a  beautiful  campus  of  seventy-five  or  more  acres.  A  healthier 
spot  it  would  be  difficult  to  find  within  the  limits  of  the  State. 
Jackson  is  a  small  city  of  9.000,  with  handsome  churches  and  public 
buildings,  and  is  noted  for  the  refinement,  and  intelligence  of  its 
people.  Its  literary,  social  and  religious  advantages  are  superior. 
Bishop  Gallowaj'.  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  resides  here, 
and  will  deliver  a  course  of  several  lectures  and  special  sermons 
during  the  coming  session. 

LIBRARY. 

The  Library  has  commodious  quarters  for  a  stack-room  and  a 
reading-room  in  Webster  Science  Hall.  It  is  a  matter  of  great 
gratification  that  we  open  the  College  with  such  a  large  and  valu- 
able collection  of  books.  Most  of  the  well-selected  libraries  of  the 
late  Dr.  C.  K.  Marshall  and  Rev.  W.  G,  Millsaps,  besides  many  ex- 


50  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

collent  volumeH  fx-om  ex-Chancellor  Edward  Mayes,  Rev.  A.  F. 
Watkins  and  others,  have  been  generously  contributed.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  other  munificent  gifts,  Major  R.  W.  Millsaps  has  con- 
tributed $500  to  be  expended  in  purchasing  books  for  the  Library. 

MARTHA    A.    TURNER    LIBRARY    FUND. 

Mrs.  J.  R.  Bingham,  of  Carrollton,  Miss.,  has  given  $700  to, form 
a  fund  to  be  known  as  the  Martha  A.  Turner  Library  Fund.  This 
fund  is  invested  and  the  annual  interest  used  in  purchasing  books 
for  the  Library. 

LITERARY    SOCIETIES. 

Two  large  halls  have  been  provided  for  the  Literary  Societies 
organized  for  the  purpose  of  improvement  in  debate,  declamation! 
composition  and  acquaintance  with  the  methods  of  deliberative 
bodies.  These  societies  are  conducted  by  the  students,  under  con- 
stitutions and  by-laws  of  their  own  framing.  They  ars  named 
respectively  the  Galloway  and  Lamar  Societies,  and  contribute 
greatly  to  the  improvement  of  their  members. 

STUDENTS*  HOMES. 

We  do  not  adopt  the  old  dormitory  system,  and  in  lieu  tjiereof 
have  established  "Students' Homes,"  capable  of  accommodating  a 
limited  number  of  boarders,  and  each  placed  in  charge  of  a  Chris- 
tian family.  Two  of  these  homes,  Asbury  Home  and  Williams 
Home,  each  with  a  capacity  of  from  twenty-four  to  thirty  young 
men,  are  now  ready  for  occupancy.  In  addition  we  have  severa^ 
small  cottages,  in  which  students  can  board  themselves  at  reduced 
cost,  or,  if  they  prefer,  lodge  there  and  take  their  meals  at  one  of 
the  "Homes."  No  student  will  be  permitted  to  room  at  the  cottages 
without  special  permission  from  the  President. 

MEMORIAL   COTTAGES. 

The  friends  of  the  late  John  A.  Ellis,  of  the  Mississippi  Confer- 
ence, and  the  Rev.  J.  H.  Brooks,  of  the  North  Mississippi  Confer- 
ence, have  built  two  cottages  for  the  accommodation  of  students. 
These  homes  are  named  respectively  the  John  A.  Ellis  Cottage  and 
the  J.  H.  Brooks  Cottage. 

SCHOLARSHIPS. 

Several  scholarships  have  been  established,  the  income  from 
which  will  be  used  in  aiding  deserving  young  men  in  securing  a 
collegiate  education.  The  W.  H.  Tribbett  Scholarship,  the  W. 
H.  Watkins   Scholarship,  the   Jefferson  Davis  Scholarship   [estab- 


MILLSAPS  COLLEGE.  51 

lished  by  Mrs.  Annie  Davis  Gunning],  and  the  Peebles  Scholarship 
[established  by  Mrs.  N.  P.  McPherson]. 

COLLEGE  MAILS. 

All  correspondence  intended  for  students  at  the  College  should  be 
addressed  care  Millsaps  College.  Mails  are  distributed  to  students 
on  the  campus,  thereby  avoiding  the  necessity  of  personal  visits  to 
the  city  postoffice. 

ELECTION  OF  CLASSES  AND  COURSES- 

Students  are  allowed  some  liberty  of  choice  of  classes  and  courses, 
either  by  themselves  or  their  friends,  limited  to  the  judgment  of 
the  Faculty  and  by  the  exigence  of  classification.  A  student  is  not 
allowed  to  withdraw  from  any  class  to  which  he  has  been  assigned 
without  permission  of  the  President  and  the  Professor  in  his  de. 
partment. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

Written  examinations  will  be  held  twice  a  year,  and  special  ex- 
aminations at  other  times  as  the  several  profesors  may  elect. 

REPORTS. 

During  the  session  reports  will  be  sent  to  the  parent  or  guardian 
of  each  student,  in  which  will  be  an  estimate  of  his  class  standing 
and  deportment. 

DISCIPLINE. 

It  will  be  the  constant  care  of  the  administration  to  guard  the 
moral  conduct  of  students.  The  discipline  will  be  firm.  Obedience 
to  college  regulations  will  be  strictly  required.  Young  men  unwill- 
ing to  submit  to  reasonable,  wholesome  government  are  not  desired, 
and  will  not  be  retained 

CERTIFICATE  OF  GOOD  CHARACTER. 

Candidates  for  admission  are  required  to  give  satisfactory  evi- 
dence of  good  moral  character,  and  if  the  candidate  comes  from 
another  college  he  must  show  that  he  was  honorably  discharged. 

PRIZES. 

Prizes  are  annually  awarded  for  excellence  in  : 

1.  Oratory.  The  J.  B.  Ligon  Medal  and  the  Oscar  Kearney  An- 
drews Medal.

CANDIDATES  FOR  ADMISSION. 

Applicants  for  admission  must  report  to  the  President  as  soon  as 
possible  after  their  arrival,  and  secure  board  at  some  place  ap- 
proved by  the  College  authorities.  Except  in  cases  where  special 
permission  is  granted  students  to  board  in  the  cottages  or  in  town, 
they  will  be  required  to  board  in  one  of  the  Students'  Homes  or  in 
private  families  near  the  College.  New  students  should  be  present 
on  Monday  and  Tuesday,  that  they  may  be  examined  and  classed  be.

lege will  be  held  September  13-14.  See  calendar  on  page  2.  See 
detailed  statement  as  to  entrance  requirements,  page  19. 

ATHLETICS. 

It  has  been  the  unvarying  policy  -of  the  College  to  discourage 
inter-collegiate  contests.  It  is  believed  that  there  is  in  the  college 
community  sufficient  incentive  to  active  interest  in  athletics.  With 
the  help  of  friends,  the  students  have  erected  and  equipped  what  is 
said  to  be  the  best  gymnasium  in  the  State.  A  trained  instructor 
has 'Charge  of  daily  classes  in  gymnastic  exercises.  The  annual 
spring  Field  Day  gives  opportunity  for  public  contests  in  running, 
jumping,  putting  the  shot,  etc.  There  is  a  student  organization^ 
The  Millsaps  College  Athletic  Association,  which  helps  to  keep  up 
enthusiastic  interest  in  healthful  sports.  A  member  of  the  faculty 
is  president  of  this  association. 

RELIGIOUS  INSTRUCTION. 

Students  will  be  required  to  be  present  at  morning  worship  in 
the  College  Chapel.  In  this  daily  service  the  faculty  and  pupils 
come  together  to  hear  the  reading  of  the  Sacred  Scriptures  and  to 
engage  in  singing  and  prayer. 

The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  holds  weekly  meetings, 
and  prayer  meetings  are  regularly  conducted  by  the  pupils.  These 
agencies  keep  up  a  healthy  spiritual  interest  and  at  the  same  time 
train  the  young  men  in  active  Christian  work.  All  students  are  re- 
quired to  attend  church  at  least  once  every  Sunday  and  are  expected 
to  be  present  at  the  Sunday  School.

Students  who  do  not  enter  until  the  second  term  will  be  required 
to  pay  the  Incidental  and  Library  fees. 

Students  preparing  for  the  work  of  the  ministry  in  any  Christian 
denomination,  and  the  sons  of  preachers  will  have  no  tuition  to  pay, 
but  all  students  will  be  required  to  pay  the  Incidental  and  Library 
fees. 

Board  in  "Students  "Homes"  and  good  families  can  be  had  at  $12 
per  month,  including  lodging  and  lights.  Each  student  is  expected 
to  furnish  his  own  pillow,  bed  clothes  and  toilet  articles. 

If  students  prefer  to  room  in  one  of  the  cottages  and  take  their 
meals  elsewhere,  table  board  will  not  cost  them  more  than  $10  per 
month. 

Ample  facilities  are  provided  for  board  at  the  above  rates.  Any 
student  may  feel  assured  that  board  will  not  eost  him  more  than 
$120  for  the  entii'e  session. 

We  are  not  unmindful,  however,  of  the  fact  that  there  are  hun 
dreds  of  worthy  young  men,  i-ich  in  mental  and  moral  gifts,  and 
capabilities,  who  are  compelled  to  reduce  the  cost  of  living  to  the 
minimum  in  order  to  enjoy  the  advantages  of  educational  institu- 
tions. Millsaps  College  will  always  be  in  hearty  sympathy  with 
this  class  of  young  men,  and  the  authorities  will  encourage  them  in 
every  possible  way. 

Many  of  our  students  by  boarding  themselves  reduce  the  cost  of

living  below  S7  per  month.  Our  facilities  for  accommodating  thig 
class  of  students  have  been  enlarged. 

In  addition  to  the  Tuition  and  Incidental  Fees  students  in  Chemis- 
try will  be  charged  a  Laboratory  fee  of  $5:  students  in  Physics,  $3:  stu- 
dents on  graduation  will  be  required  to  pay  a  diploma  fee  of  $5.
