The charter of Millsaps College, which was granted
February 21, 1890, reads as follows:
AN ACT to incorporate Millsaps College.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Mississippi, That John J. Wheat, Samuel M.
Thames, Thomas J. Newell and Rufus M. Standifer, of

members of said church within bounds of said Confer-
ence, and Thomas L. Mellen, Warren C. Black, Alexan-
der F. Watkins and Charles G. Andrews, members of
the Mississippi Conference of said church, and Marion
M. Evans, Luther Sexton, William L. Nugent, and
Reuben W. Millsaps, of Jackson, lay members of said
church, within the bounds of said Mississippi Confer-
ence, and Bishop Charles B. Galloway, be and they are
hereby constituted a body corporate and politic by and
under the name and style of ]Millsaps College, and by
that name they and their successors may sue and be sued,
plead and be impleaded, contract and be contracted with,
and have a common seal and break the same at pleasure,
and may accept donations of real and personal property
for the benefit of the College hereafter to be established
by them, and contributions of mone}" or negotiable securi-
ties of every kind in aid of the endoAvment of such Col-
lege; and may confer degrees and give certificates of
scholarship and make by-laws for the government of
said College and its affairs, as well as for their govern-
ment, and do and perform all other acts for the benefit
of said institution and the promotion of its welfare that
are not repugnant to the Constitution and laws of this
State or of the United States, subject, however, to the
approval of the said two Conferences.
Sec. 2. As soon as convenient after the passage of
this Act, the persons named in the first section thereof
16 MILLS APS COLLEGE
shall meet in the City of Jackson, in this State, and
organize by acceptance of the charter and the election
of Bishop Charles B. Galloway as their permanent Presi-
dent and of such other persons as they may determine
to fill the offices of Vice-President, Secretary and Treas-
urer, and shall prescribe the duties, powers and terms
of office of all said officers, except as to the term of
their said President, who shall hold office during life
or good behavior, or so long as he may be physically
able to discharge his duties.
They shall also select by lot from the lay and clerical
Trustees from each of said Conferences, one-half who
shall be Trustees of said College for three years and
and until their successors are elected, and the other half
not so selected shall remain in office for the term of six
years and until their successors are chosen, as herein-
after mentioned. Upon the death, resignation or removal
of said Galloway, or his permanent physical disability to
discharge the duties of his office, the said Trustees may
elect their President and prescribe his duties, powers
and term of office.
Sec. 3. That the said Trustees shall, before the
meeting of said Conferences next before the expiration
of the term of office of any of their number, notify the
Secretary of said Conferences thereof, and the vacancies
shall be filled by said Conferences in such way and at
such time as they may determine, and the persons so
elected shall succeed to the office, place, jurisdiction, and
powers of the Trustees whose terms of office have
expired. And the said corporation and the College

thereto, and authorized to sue for and collect the same.
The said corporation shall have the power to select any
appropriate town, city, or other place in this State at
which to establish snid College, and to purchase grounds
not to excd'd one hundred acres as a building site and
campus therefor, and erect thereon such buildings, dormi-
tories, and halls as they may tliink expedient and proper
to subserve the purposes of their organization and the
best interests of said institution, and they may invite
propositions from an}' city or town or individual in the
State for such grounds, and may accept donations or
grants of land for the site of said institution.
Sec. 5. That the lands or grounds not to exceed one
hundred acres used by the corporation as a site and
campus for said College, and the buildings, dormitories
and halls thereon erected, and the endowment fund con-

lege shall be kept open and maintained for the purpose
contemplated by this Act, and no longer.
Sec. 6. That the cost of education shall, as far as
practicable, be reduced by said corporation to the lowest
point consistent with the efficient operation of said Col-
lege, and to this end reports shall be made to the said

to bring a collegiate education within the reach and
ability of the poorer classes of the State,
Sec, 7, That this Act take effect and be in force
from and after its passage.
The College has its origin in the general policy of the
Methodist Church to maintain institutions under its own
control for higher learning in the Arts and Sciences,
18 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
At the annual session of the Mississippi Conference
in the City of Vicksburg, on December 7, in the year
1888, the following resolutions were adopted by a large
majority of the Conference:
"Resolved, 1. That a College for males un-
der the auspices and control of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, ought to be estab-
lished at some central and accessible point in
the State of Mississippi.
"2. That a committee of three laymen and
three preachers be appointed to confer with a
like committee to be appointed by the North
Mississippi Conference to formulate plans and
to receive offers of donations of lands, build-
ings, or money for that purpose, and report to
the next session of this Conference."
In accordance with this action, the President of the
Conference, Bishop R. K. Hargrove, appointed the fol-
lowing committee: Rev. T. L. Mellen, Rev. W. C. Black,
Rev. A. F. Watkins, Major R. W. Millsaps, Col. W. L.
Nugent and Dr. Luther Sexton.
On December 12, 1888, the North Mississippi Confer-
ence met in Starkville, Mississippi, Bishop C. B. Gallo-
way presiding. The Rev. T. L. Mellen appeared and
reported the action taken by the Mississippi Conference.
The following transcript from the North Mississippi
Conference Journal gives the responses made by that
body :
"Resolved, 1, That a College for the educa-
tion of boys and young men should be estab-
lished in the State of Mississippi under the
auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
"2. That a committee of three laymen and
three ministers be appointed to confer with a
like committee already appointed by the Mis-
sissippi Conference."
MILLS APS COLLEGE 19
The following committee was accordingly appointed:
Rev. J. J. Wheat, Rev. S. M. Thames/ Rev. T. J.
Newell, Hon. G. D. Sliands, Capt. D. L. Sweatman and
Mp. J. B. Streater.
To the action of tlicse Conferences we may trace the
direct origin of the College.
The joint commission constituted by the action sum-
marized above met in the City of Jackson in January,
1889. The Rev. Dr. J. J. Wheat was called to the
chair. In stating the purpose of the meeting he made
a stirring appeal in behalf of the proposition to estab-
lish a Methodist College in Mississippi for the educa-
tion of young men. In response to this earnest appeal
Major R. W. Millsaps, a member of the commission,
proposed to give $50,000 to endow the institution, pro-
vided the Methodists of Mississippi would give a sum
equal to this amount for said purpose. This proposition
was enthusiastically approved, and after a plan of pro-
cedure was adopted, Bishop Cliarles B. Galloway was
invited to conduct a campaign in the interest of the
proposed endowment fund.
Under the direction of this distinguished leader, the
most gratifying progress was reported from time to
time. The report submitted to the Conferences by the
committee in December, 1889, refers to the movement
in the following language:
"The canvass, on account of the numerous
necessitated absences of Bishop Galloway from
the State, could not be continuously carried on,
but even the partial canvass made, embracing
not more than one-fifth of our territory, resulted
in the most gratifying and encouraging success.
The interest awakened in the enterprise has
extended beyond the limits of our own Church
and is felt by every denomination of Christians,
and by every section of the State. It is safe to
say that no effort of Methodism has ever
ao MILLS APS COLLEGE
kindled such enthusiasm in our State or evoked
such liberal oiFerings to the Lord. The fact
has been demonstrated that the Church is pro-
foundly convinced that the College is an abso-
lute necessity."
The report continues:
"So high is the appreciation of the value of
the proposed institution^ that numerous towns
in the State have entered into earnest competi-
tion to secure the location of the College within
the limits of their respective borders^ offering
from $10,000 to $36,000, and from twenty to
eighty acres of land."
In December, 1889;, the Rev. A. F. Watkins, a member
of the Mississippi Conference, was appointed a special
agent to co-operate with Bishop Galloway in all matters
pertaining to the endowment of the proposed College.
As the work of raising the sum designated in the origi-
nal proposition progressed, and $25,000 had been col-
lected. Major Millsaps, in the year 1890, paid $25,000
into the College treasury.
In December, 1892, the Rev. J. W. Chambers was
appointed agent for the College, and on December 30,
1893, he reported that the full amount had been collected
to meet the terms of Major Millsaps' proposition, and
thereujDon $25,000 were immediately paid by Major Mill-
saps to the Executive Committee and the following reso-
lution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Executive Committee re-
turn our most heartfelt thanks to Major R. W.
Millsaps for his second gift of $25,000, this
day turned over to us. For his princely liber-
ality and unfaltering interest in the great en-
terprise so happily and successfully inaugur-
ated, the Church and State owe him a large debt
of gratitude."
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 91
The Conferences having provided for a Board of Trus-
tees, the joint commission dissolved in January, 1890.
This Board, to which was referred the matter of organ-
izing the College, was composed of the following:
Bishop Charles B. Galloway, President.
Rev. J. J. Wheat, D.D. Rev. W .C. Black, D.D.
Rev. S. M. Thames Rev. T. L. Mellen
Rev. T. J. Newell Rev. A. F. Watkins
Rev. C. G. Andrews, D.D. Rev. R. M. Standifer
Hon. G. D. Shands Maj. R. W. Millsaps
Capt. D. L. Sweatman Col. W. L. Nugent
Mr. J. B. Streater Dr. Luther Sexton
Mr. John Trice Hon. M. M. Evans
After the Board organized under the charter the ques-
tion of locating the College was considered with great
care. The Board met repeatedly to consider the offers
made by different towns, and finally on May 20, 1891^
while in session in Winona, Misisssippi, decided to
locate the College in Jackson, the capital of the State.
The citizens of Jackson contributed $21,000 for grounds
and buildings, and to this sum Major Millsaps added
$15,000. Plans for a commodious main building were
immediately procured, grounds were purchased and in a
comparatively short time buildings were in process of
erection.
When it became evident that everything would soon
be in readiness for formally opening the College for
the reception of students, the Board of Trustees, at a
meeting held in Jackson, April 28, 1892, began the
work of organizing a faculty of instruction.
The Rev. W. B. Murrah was elected President.
Many applications were considered for professorships,
and Mr. N. A. Patillo was elected Professor of Mathe-
matics, and Mr. W. L. Weber was elected Professor of
the English Language and Literature.
At the time of his election Professor Patillo was doing
post-graduate work in the Johns Hopkins University of
22 MILLS APS COLLEGE
Baltimore. Prof. Weber was the acting Professor of
English at the Southwestern University of Georgetown,
Texas, when he was by this action called to Millsaps Col-
lege. The department of Mental and Moral Philosophy
was established and President Hurrah took charge of
this department.
At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Trustees,
held July 13, 1892, Mr. G. C. Swearingen was elected
Professor of Latin and Greek, and the Rev. M. M.
Black was elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart-
ment. Both of these gentlemen had recently taken post-
graduate degrees at the Vanderbilt University, Nashville,
Tennessee.
The necessary buildings having been erected, the first
scholastic session began with appropriate ceremonies Sep-
tember 29, 1892.
At the first meeting of the faculty Professor W. L.
Weber was elected Secretary, and at the request of the
President the senior member of the faculty was selected
as chairman pro tempore. At the commencement of 1910
the Board of Trustees created the office of Treasurer
of the Faculty, and chose Dr. M. W. Swartz for this
position.
At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees in
June, 1893, Mr. A. M. Muckenfuss was elected Pro-
fessor of Chemistry and Physics.
In June, 1894, the Rev. M. M. Black resigned the
principalship of the Preparatory Department to enter
on the work of the regular pastorate. In reorganizing
the department it was made more distinctively a training
school with independent jurisdiction, and Professor R.
S. Ricketts was elected Head Master, with Mr. E. L.
Bailey as Assistant Master.
The formal establishment of the Department of His-
tory and Modern Languages was effected by action of
the Board of Trustees in June, 1897, and Professor J.
P. Hanner was elected to fill the chair thus created.
Work, however, had been offered in these subjects prior
to this time.
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 28
In 1904 Dr. B. E. Young, who then had charge of the
work in History and Modern Languages, resigned his
position to take charge of the work in Romance Lan-
guages in Vanderbilt University. The department wan
then divided, Mr. O. H. Moore, a graduate of Harvard
University, being chosen Professor of Modern Lan-
guages, and Mr. J. E. Walmsley taking charge of the
work in History and Economics.
In I9O8, the chair of Assistant in English and Latin
in the Preparatory Department was added, and Mr. S.
G. Noble was elected to this position.
At the commencement of IQH the Board of Trustees
created the office of Vice-President and elected Dr. J.
M. Sullivan to this position. At the same session of the
Board provision was made for an additional professor
in Science. Dr. J. M. Sullivan, who had been in charge
of the work in Chemistry, Physics and Natural History
since 1902, was made Professor of Chemistry and Geolo-
gy; the Department of Physics and Biology was created
and Professor G. L. Harrell was placed in charge of
that work.
The organization indicated by this review represents
the status of affairs existing at this time, though the
personnel of the faculty has been changed in several
departments.
The remarkable facilities for conducting a Law School
in Jackson led to the establishment in 1896 of a Law
Department. The Hon. Edward Mayes, ex-Chancellor
of Mississippi State University, and for over fourteen
years a professor of Law in that institution, was engaged
to take the active control of this department. Dr. Mayes
has associated with him as active Professors, Judge A. H.
Whitfield, of the Supreme Court of our State, and
Judge Wm. R. Harper, a distinguished member of the
Jackson Bar.
At the close of the session of 1 91 0-1 911 the Prepara-
tory Department was formally separated from the Col-
lege and erected into a distinct institution under the
24 MILLS A PS COLLEGE
name of the Millsaps Preparatory School. This school
with its buildings is described in its own catalogue.
In addition to the buildings first provided^ consisting
of the main college building, the President's house, and
homes for the accommodation of students, the facilities
of the institution were greatly enlarged during the ses-
sion 1895-96 by the generosity of Major Millsaps in the
gift of Webster Science Hall, at a cost of $10,000. In
1901 Mr. Dan A. James, of Yazoo City, Mississippi,
built an observatory for the College, in honor of the
memory of his father, Mr. Peter James, and of his
brother, Mr. Samuel James, and furnished it with a
magnificent telescope, thus enabling us to offer the finest
advantages in the study of Astronomy.
The evolutionary process through which Millsaps Col-
lege has passed during the first ten years of its history
has developed an ever-increasing demand for better
dormitory and dining hall facilities. This need was sup-
plied in 1902 by the gift of Major Millsaps of the
property formerly known as the Jackson College, at a
cost of more than $30,000.00, and subsequently fifty
acres of land immediately adjoining our campus valued
at $50,000.00. The splendid brick structure thus se-
cured, together with other buildings admirably adapted
to college uses, enables the institution adequately to
meet the demands made upon it.
In the year 1906 the General Education Board of
New York City agreed to contribute from the income
of the John D. Rockefeller foundation for Higher
Education, $25,000.00, provided a supplemental sum
of not less than $75,000.00 should be collected, and
thus add $100,000.00 to the permanent endowment of
the College,
To meet the terms of this offer, a vigorous campaign
was prosecuted by the Rev. T. W. Lewis, of the North
Mississippi Conference, who had been duly appointed
as Financial Agent of the College.
In 1910 it appeared that $32,279-10 had been col-
lected for said purpose, and Mr. I. C. Enochs paid in
MILLS APS COLLEGE 25
$5,000.00, and Maj. II. W. Millsaps, in keeping with
the generosity that has always characterized him in
making it possible to improve opportunities which would
have been lost but for his timely aid, paid the addi-
tional $37,720.90, thus completing the transaction and
increasing the endowment by $100,000.00.
Witli an endowment of over three hundred thousand
dollars and buildings and grounds worth approximately
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars more, it rests
on a foundation which guarantees its perpetuity. It
has the support of a great religious denomination, yet it
is not sectarian in its policy, but numbers among its
patrons representatives of all the Christian churches.
One of the purposes the College keeps consistently in
view is indicated by the following section of the charter:
"The cost of education shall, as far as prac-
ticable, be reduced to the lowest point consistent
with the efficient operation of said College, and
every reasonable effort shall be made to bring
collegiate education within the ability of the
poorer classes of the State."

ANNOUNCEMENTS
MiLLSAPs College is named in honor of Major R. W.
Millsaps, wliose 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 Mississippi
and North Mississippi Conferences. It is not sectarian,
however, but numbers among its patrons members of all
the Christian denominations.
LOCATION.
Jackson, the capital of the State, and the seat of the
College, is easily accessible by five lines of railway.
Thirty passenger trains arrive and depart daily. The
College is located just north of the city, on a command-
ing elevation, with perfect drainage, and in a beautiful
campus of one hundred or more acres. A healthier
spot it would be difficult to find within the limits of the
State. The location secures all the advantages of the
town and yet supplies all the healthful conditions and
immunities of the country. Jackson is a small city of
25,000 inhabitants, with handsome churches and public
buildings, and is noted for the refinement and intelli-
gence of its people. Its literary, social and religious
advantages are superior.
The College has an endowment of $300,000, and sev-
eral partially endowed scholarships. The buildings and
the grounds are worth $225,000. The first scholastic ses-
sion began September 29, 1892, and the College has had
remarkable prosperity from the beginning. The gen-
erous founder, Major Millsaps, by the gift of the Web-
ster Science Hall, at a cost of $10,000, the Jackson Col-
lege property at a cost of more than $30,000, and fifty
acres of land immediately adjoining our campus, has
greatly enlarged our facilities.
44 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
THE JAMES OBSERVATORY.
Millsaps College is prepared to offer the very finest
advantages in the study of astronomy. The late Mr.
Dan A. James^ of Yazoo City, Miss., built an observa-
tory for the College in honor of the memory of his father,
Mr. Peter James, and of his brother, Mr. Samuel James.
He also furnished the observatory with a magnificent
telescope.
CARNEGIE MILLSAPS LIBRARY.
Near the close of the session of 1905-1906^ Mr. An-
drew Carnegie offered to give $15,000 for a library build-
ing if the trustees would supply an endowment of equal
amount. Major Millsaps added to his many contribu-
tions by giving the full amount of the endowment. The
new building was completed and formally dedicated on
October 26, 1907. With the income from this endow-
ment, which is applied to the purchase of books and
periodicals, and the complete A. L. A. card catalogue,
which has recently been installed, the College is able
to offer library facilities that are not surpassed in the
State. During the present session seventy-five periodi-
cals were received in the reading room and over five
hundred volumes were added to the shelves.
In addition to the books thus obtained, the library has
been so fortunate as to secure most of the well selected
libraries of the late Dr. C. K. Marshall and Rev. W. G.
Millsaps, the entire law library of Colonel W. L. Nugent,
besides many volumes from the libraries of ex-Chancellor
Edward Mayes, Dr. A. F. Watkins, and Major R. W.
Millsaps. The Martha A. Turner Fund, founded by
Mrs. J. R. Bingham, of Carrollton, Mississippi, is used
for the purchase of books in English literature. The
students also have full access to the State Library, which
is unusually complete in many departments.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.
Students will be required to be present at morning
worship in the College Chapel. In this daily service the
MILLS APS COLLEGE 45
Faculty and students come together to hear the reading
of the sacred Scriptures and to engage in singing and
prayer. Students must attend religious worship at least
once on the Sabbath in one of the churches in Jackson.
THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
One of tlie most potent factors in the College for devel-
oping the students into a broader life is the Young Men's
Christian Association. Its policy and aim is to develop
the three-fold nature of the students — the moral, intel-
lectual and spiritual. It is a well known fact that the
student who develops himself intelligently at the expense
of his moral and spiritual nature, is in no sense a com-
plete man. Unless one becomes a well rounded man, he
is not fit to fight the battles of life.
Realizing this, the Association was organized shortly
after the College was founded. It has done more to
mold character and to hold up a high standard of ideals
before the students than any other department in con-
nection with the College. It has been dominated by the
double purpose of leading men to accept Christ and to
form such associations as will guard them against the
temptations of college life. The Association has done
much to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the
College, to promote Christian character and fellowship
and progressive Christian work. It trains its members for
Christian service and leads them to devote their lives to
the cause of Christ where they can accomplish the most
for the extension of the Kingdom of God. In order to
accomplisli this purpose the Association holds weekly
meetings on Friday evenings. These services are usually
conducted by some one of the students, but occasionally
by some member of the Faculty, or by some minister
from town.
Realizing the importance of a young man's choosing
his life work while in college, a series of addresses, on
"Life Work," has been arranged and prominent men
of each profession are invited to address the Association
from time to time on their respective professions.
46 MILLS A PS COLLEGE
An annual revival is held some time in the year^ lasting
more than a week^ which results in leading many young
men to Christ each year. These services this year were
conducted by Dr. Bowman^ of Amite City, La., and re-
sulted in renewing enthusiasm and in giving great stim-
ulus to Association work.
The Association sends yearly a delegation to the
Southern Students' Conference at Montreat, North Caro-
lina. Since the ten days of the Convention are assidu-
ously devoted to discussing Association work and prob-
lems, the delegates always return enthuiastic and zealous
for doing Christian service.
The work of the Association is carried on by the stu-
dents; each man has his part to do according to the plan
of organization. The President, elected by the members,
appoints chairmen of nine committees, each composed
of three or more men. It is the duty of the Publicity
Committee to advertise, by means of blotters and in other
ways, all meetings, and secure good attendance. The
Membership Committee meets all new students as they
arrive, and gives them any information desired concerning
College, boarding, facilities, etc. Afterward this com-
mittee calls on each student and urges him to become a
member of the Association. The Reception Committee
has charge of College Night, and any other entertain-
ment that the Association may choose to give during the
year. The object of College Night is to make the stu-
dents acquainted with one another and to interest the
new men in the different phases of College life. The
Employment Committee assists deserving students in get-
ting employment for their spare time. The City Mission
Committee has charge of work in different parts of the
city. The Devotional Committee provides leaders, and
the Music Committee provides music for each meeting.
The Finance Committee, whose Chairman is the Treasurer
of the Association, collects the annual dues ($1.50) and
raises funds sufficient for meeting current expenses.
But most important are the Bible Study and Mission
Study Committees. Bible Study groups are formed at
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 47
tlic Dormitory and al the boardinfjj Ijouscs. The stu-
dents engage in daily Bible reading and meet, for one
hour once a week, for discussion. The Mission Study
Committee arranges courses in biograpliies of mission-
aries in various mission fields and secures leaders for the
various classes.
The Y. M. C. A. is back of every phase of College life,
and it is expected that every student shall identify him-
self with the organization.
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 constitutions and by-
laws of their own framing. They are named, respec-
tively, the Galloway and the Lamar Societies, and con-
tribute greatly to the improvement of their members.
PUBLIC LECTURES.
With the view of promoting general culture among the
students, and to furnish them with pleasant and profitable
entertainment, there will be a lyceum lecture course con-
ducted by the College authorities. There will be from
three to six numbers. The best talent available for the
money will be engaged each year and each student upon
entering College will be required to pay along with his
other fees $1.00 for a season ticket to these lectures.
In addition to the lyceum lecture course, one or two
lectures will be given each year by the different members
of the Faculty. During the past session Dr. J. M. Sul-
livan delivered a public lecture before the student body.
His subject was "The Evolution of Modern Science."
Next year President D. C. Hull and Professor G. L.
Harrell will in like manner discuss some phase of their
work. These lectures are open to the general public.
48 MILLS APS COLLEGE
BOARDING FACILITIES.
Students of Millsaps College, as a rule, arrange for
their living in one of three ways:
1. We have eight small cottages, in which students
can board themselves at reduced cost. These cottages are
admirably situated on the eastern side of the campus, as
shown on the map. The rooms are sufficiently large to
accommodate two students each. The room rental per
student in the cottages is $9-00 for the session and must
be paid as follows: $5.00 at the beginning of the session
and $4.00 the 1st of February. The coal bill a year per
student is not more than $5.00, when two students live in
one room. The boys in these cottages have their own
dining room and their meals last year cost them $9.00 a
month. Lights amount to very little. Students living
in the cottages furnish their rooms. Furniture for one
room need not cost more than $10.00. It will be seen
from the above that the necessary cost to a student living
in a cottage need not exceed $12.00 a month. Students
wishing to engage a room in one of the cottages should
write Dr. M. W. Swartz, Treasurer, at the College.
2. We have "Student Homes," capable of accommo-
dating a limited number of boarders, and each is in charge
of a Christian family. These homes furnish room, light,
board and furniture at a cost of $15.00, $16.00, $17.00
and $18.00 a month. Students furnish their own fuel,
which costs about $5.00 a session. Students furnish their
bedding and linen. The necessary cost in these homes
range from $15.00 to $19-00 a month a student. Stu-
dents wishing to engage board in one of these homes
before coming to Millsaps to enter college should write
the Secretary for names and addresses.
3. Millsaps Preparatory School offers table board to
a limited number of college students at a moderate rate.
Last year the cost ranged from $10.50 to $12.50 a
month. Students may room in the cottages and take
their meals at the Preparatory School. There are Chris-
tian homes where students may get rooms without board.
In such cases the student may get meals at the Prepara-
MILLS APS COLLEGE 49
tory School or at private homes. The cost of board alone
in private homes ranges from $11.00 to ^l-i.OO a month.
Room rent alone in private homes ranges from $3.00 to
$6.00 a month. It will be seen from the above that by
rooming at one place and boarding at another that the
cost will range from about $13.r)0 up a month.
Memori.\l Cottages — The friends of the late Rev.
John A. Ellis, of the Mississippi Conference, and the
Rev. J. H. Brooks, of the North ^Mississippi Conference,
have built two cottages for the accommodation of stu-
dents. These Homes are named, respectively, the John
A. Ellis Cottage and the J. H. Brooks Cottage.
ATHLETICS.
Millsaps College is a member of the Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association, and takes part in all in-
tercollegiate games except football. Games and sports of
all kinds are under the special direction of the General
Athletic Association, a student organization, whose object
is to promote this class of physical exercise. The fac-
ulty, by means of its Committee on Athletics, exercises
a general advisory control, endeavoring to foresee and
avert dangerous tendencies or excess in physical exer-
cises while giving to the student, as far as possible,
entire liberty of management; a strict limit is placed
upon the character of intercollegiate games and the num-
ber played away from the College.
Our new athletic field is equipped with an excellent
diamond, a perfect one-fourth mile cinder trfick, a grand-
stand with seating capacity of 1,000, a fine set of hurdles
and all other fixtures needed in field sports. The cost
of this equipment was about five thousand dollars, the
greater part of which was donated by Major R. W. Mill-
saps. The work of turfing, protection and decoration
is going on steadily and will, it is estimated, cost two
thousand dollars more.
50 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
MATRICULATION.
The courses of study are comprised in three depart-
ments, two of which are academic and one professional.
The former include the College and Department of Grad-
uate studies, the latter the Department of Law. The
various departments are under the direction of professors
who are responsible for the systems and methods pur-
sued.
The session begins on the third Wednesday of Septem-
ber and continues, with a recess of about ten days at
Christmas, until the second Tuesday in June. The first
two days of the session are given to registration, and all
students, both old and new, are required during that time
to place their names upon the books of the College and
the rolls of their respective classes. Lecture courses
begin Friday and absences will be recorded against any
student not present from the opening lecture of each
course. (Students entering after the first three days will
be charged a fee of $1.00 for registration.)
EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations in each class are held in writing.
Oral examinations are held in some departments, but
they are auxiliary to the written examinations, which,
in conjunction with the class standing as determined by
the daily work of the student, are the main tests of the
student's proficiency.
REPORTS.
Reports are sent at the close of each quarter to the
parent or guardian of each student. These reports give
the number of unexcused absences from lectures, and
indicate, as nearly as is practicable, the nature of the
progress made by him in his work at the College.
HONOR SYSTEM.
Not the least of the educational influences of the Col-
lege is the honor system. According to this system the
MILLS A PS COLLEGE .11
student is not watched by the members of the faculty
during examinations, but is required to pledge upon his
honor as a gentleman that he has neither received nor
given any aid during the period of the examination. If
a student is accused of cheating, he is given a full and
fair trial by the Honor Council, which is composed of
seven men selected by the students. Experience has
shown that under this system not only has cheating
on examinations been lessened, but that a spirit of honor
and truth has been fostered which tends to include not
only the examination tests, but all relations between stu-
dent and professor.
REGULATIONS
REGISTRATION OF NEW STUDENTS.
Applicants seeking admission to the College for the
first time should present themselves to the Secretary
of the faculty at his office in the main building at some
time during the first two days of the session. In each in-
stance a certificate of good moral character must be pre-
sented, signed by the proper official of the institution
attended during the previous session, or by some person
of known standing. Each candidate who satisfies these
requirements and those for admission by diploma, cer-
tificate or examination, previously stated, will be fur-
nished with a card containing the courses which he pro-
poses to pursue during the session. This card must be
presented in turn to each professor concerned, who will,
on satisfying himself that the applicant is prepared to
pursue the course in question with profit, sign the card.
The card must then be carried to the Treasurer, who will,
after the College fees have been paid to him, sign the
card. On payment of these fees the applicant will turn
his card into the Secretary, who will furnish the several
professors with cards admitting him to the classes indi-
cated on his card. In no case will an applicant be ad-
mitted to classes until he has paid his fees.
Students who have already been matriculated as mem-
bers of the College will present themselves directly to
the members of the faculty not later than the second day
of the session and conform, as regards the registration
in their respective classes and payment of dues, to the
requirements stated in the preceding paragraph.
REGISTRATION AFTER THE CHRISTMAS
RECESS.
On the first week after the Christmas recess every
student is required to register with the Secretary. Any
MILLSAP3 COLLEGE 58
student failing to register then will have his name
dropped from the rolls of his classes until further orders
from the President, but sueh student may be registered
by the President and restored to his position in his classes
on payment to the Treasurer of tlie delayed registration
fee of $1.00.
In case the delay in the student's return is due to
illness, or to other like providential cause, the Treasurer
is authorized to remit the fee and excuse absence; in
every other case the absences due to delayed return shall
be recorded as unexcused absences and the usual pen-
alty be assigned.
DELAYED REGISTRATION.
Students are not permitted to delay their registration
through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any
student, new or old, who fails to present himself for
registration during the first two days of the session will
be admitted to registration only upon the consent of the
President.
RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE AND GRADE.
The academic year extends from the morning of the
third Wednesday of September to the noon of the sec-
ond Tuesday in June. Thanksgiving Day is a holiday,
and there is a Christmas recess beginning on the morn-
ing of the twenty-third of December and closing on
the evening of the second of January.
Attendance is required of each student throughout the
entire session, with the exception of the days above indi-
cated, unless he has received permission to be temporarily
absent or to withdraw before its close. Leave of absence
is granted by the faculty or President for sufficient
reasons, and must in every case be obtained in advance.
While in residence each student is required to attend regu-
larly all lectures and other prescribed exercises and all
examinations in the courses which he pursues (unless
excused for cause), and in every way to conform to the
regulations of the College.
54 MILLS APS COLLEGE
Absence from the College is permitted onlj^ upon the
written leave of the President^ obtained in every case
in advance. But leaves of absence for jjurpose of accom-
panying the athletic teams^ debating teams and all other
recognized clubs will not be granted except to officers
and members of the organizations.
Absence of athletic teams and other student organiza-
tions are provided for by faculty regulations.
Absence from classes are not excused except for pro-
longed sickness or like providential cause^ and then only
by faculty action.
Absence from examinations will not be excused except
for sickness on day of examination, attested by a physi-
cian's certificate, or other cause which the faculty by
special order may approve. An unexcused absence or
presentation of an unpledged paper is counted as a total
failure in the examination in which it occurs. A student
whose absence from examination is excused is admitted to
to the special examination ordered by the faculty.
Change of Classes — Students cannot change classes
or drop classes or take up new classes except by consent
of the faculty.
The grade of the student in any class, either for a term
or for the session, is determined by the combined class
standing and the result of examination. (In case the
examination grade falls below 60 per cent., the class
standing is not averaged.)
Class standing in any course is determined by the
regularity of attendance of the student upon the lectures
(and laboratory or other similar exercises where in-
cluded) in the course in question and by the faithful per-
formance of his work as indicated by his answers when
questioned, by written exercises, note-books, the faithful
performance of laboratory (or other similar) work, etc.
Students are regarded by the faculty as under the law of
honor in matters affecting class standing or in examina-
tions.
The grade for passing in any course is 70 per centum.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE U
Re-e.\amination — A student who attains in any course
a grade for tlie term bilow 70 per cent., but not below
50 per cent, is admitted by the faculty to a special exam-
ination at a time set by the faculty.
Withdrawals — Voluntary withdrawal from the Col-
lege requires the written consent of the faculty or Presi-
dent.
Enforced withdrawal is inflicted by the faculty for
habitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness or any
other fault which prevents the student from fulfilling
the purpose for which he should have come to the College.
CONDUCT.
The rules of the College require from every student
decorous, sober and upright conduct as long as he remains
a member of the College, whether he be within the pre-
cincts or not. They require from the student regular
and diligent application to liis studies, regular attend-
ance upon chapel and Sunday services at one of the
churches.
Drunkenness, gambling and dissoluteness are strictly
forbidden, and any student found guilty of them is pun-
ished by suspension or expulsion.
Firearms — The keeping of firearms by the students
is strictly forbidden.
Visiting the City at Night — Students are forbidden
to visit the town, or other place away from the College,
at night, without permission from the President.

The Academic Schools comprise the Schools of Lan-
guages, Mathematics, Science, History, Social Science,
Literature, Philosophy, Education and Biblical Instruc-
tion. In the undergraduate courses of these schools is
comprised the work of the College with the degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science; in the grad-
uate courses is comprised the work of Graduate Studies,
with the degree of Master of Arts and Master of Science.
B. A. Degree — The Bachelor of Arts course offers
special instruction in the departments of Latin and
Greek. This course presupposes two years of prepara-
tory work in Greek or Modern Languages, three in
Latin. In order to be allowed to enter upon the B. A.
course, the applicant must stand an approved examina-
tion in English, History, Science, Mathematics, Latin
and Greek, or ]\Iodern Languages.
B. S. Degree — The Bachelor of Science course offers
special work in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
Instead of Greek and partly of Latin, French and Ger-
man are studied. In order to be allowed to enter upon
the B. S. course, the applicant must stand an approved
examination in English, History, Science, Mathematics,
Latin and Modern Languages.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE.
Each school of Collegiate instruction offers work
looking toward the Master's Degree. Applicants for
the M. A. or M. S. Degree will be required to elect
three courses of study, not more than two of which may
be in the same school. The principal subject chosen
— known as the major course — will be expected to
employ one-half the applicant's time; each of the minor
64 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
courses^ one-quarter of his time. It is expected that
the applicant for a master's degree^ after receiving a
bachelor's degree, will spend at least one year at Millsaps
College engaged in graduate study. Attention is directed
to the schedule of degrees following and to the state-
ment in connection with the account of work done in
each department.
The candidate for the Master of Arts degree must
offer as a prerequisite an A. B. degree, or a B.S. degree,
including two college j^ears of Latin, from Millsaps
College or from a college whose degree is accepted by
the Committee on Admission, and the candidate for the
Master of Science degree must, under the same con-
ditions, offer a B.S. degree.
A full outline of the requirements for the degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science is given
below.

The members of the Freshman Class are required to
devote one hour a week to recitation, though they are
expected to give a part of every day to the work of
preparation. The scope of this Department will be
enlarged from time to time as conditions favor such
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 69
enlargement, but it is not designed that the course shall
take tlie place of the private and devotional study of
the sacred Scriptures.
The English Bible and Steele's Outlines of Bible
Study will be used as text-books in connection with the
Department of Biblical Instruction.
Throughout the School of Philosophy text-books and
books of references of the most approved character will
be used, and the method of instruction will be by lec-
tures, and daily oral examinations, by anah'sis of sub-
jects studied, and by original theses to be presented by
the students on topics prescribed relating to the various
departments of the school.

the Greeks and the Romans, through the
Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, into the
several movements and tendencies of the
present time.
70 31 ILLS A PS COLLEGE
(b) The Philosophy of Education, in which
education is viewed as the process by which
social experience is developed and trans-
mitted, (2) the several types of racial ex-
perience are tested with regard to their
educational value, and (3) the principles
thus developed are applied to the problems
of the school.
These courses will be offered in alternate years, course
(a) only being given in 1912-13.
Text-books — Monroe's Brief Course in the History of

MASTER'S DEGREE.
Applicants for the degree of M.A. and M.S. may
elect either (a) or (b) of course 4 as part of the work
leading to the degree sought, provided the applicant did
not take the course in question as a part of his under-
graduate work.
II. THE SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY.
Professor Sullivan.
Professor Harrell.
The rooms given up to the study of this subject are
modern, both in size and convenience, and occupy the
whole lower floor of Webster Science Hall. One of the
laboratories opens into a dark room for photography,
and into a room specially isolated and designed to retain
delicate apparatus. The general laboratory opens con-
veniently into a small fuming room outside of the build-
ing, so that vapors may not pass from one to another,
and is also connected with the storeroom. Gas, water,
experiment tables, hoods, and pneumatic troughs are to
be found in convenient places. There is a cellar for gas
and electric generators, and for assay and other furnaces.
A large lecture room on the second floor is soon to be
supplied v/ith modern equipment.
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 71
The course in this department consists of three years
of chemistry, one year bt-injr required of candidates for
all degrees, while B.S. students are required in addition
to ti'ke a second year. The subjects are taught by
recitations and lectures and work which each student
must perform in the laboratory. It is aimed that the
laboratories be kept well equipped with apparatus neces-
sary 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 substance under inspection, but also cultivate a hand
careful to the smallest detail, an eye observant of the
slightest phenomenon, and habits of neatness, skill and
economy. Each student will be expected to keep accurate
notes.
Entrance credit for at least one Carnegie unit in
Natural Science is required for admission to this depart-
ment.
I. (a) IxoRGANic Chemistry — This course is de-
signed to give the student a thorough working
knowledge of general chemistry, including a care-
ful study of fundamental laws of chemistry, the

is occupied by this Department. The niusuem contains
about JOO minerals collected from various parts of the
world, 200 specimens of rock jiresented by the United
States Geological Survey, a fine cabinet of 300 minerals
and rocks presented by the Woman's College of Balti-
more, and a fine collection of Mississippi rocks and
fossils, all thoroughl}" indexed. The excellence of the
latter is yearly increased by donations from friends of
the College, and a collection made by the Senior Class.
GEOLOGY.
1. (a) Mineralogy and Lithologic Geology — This
includes a study of mineral species, crystalline
forms, chemical composition, occurrence and uses,
with a description of the kind and arrangement
of rock masses. First term (first half).

This course is a prescribed study in the Senior year
for the A.B. or B.S. degree. The college museum and
the private museum of the head of the Department afford
minerals and fossils for class study.
Several geological expeditions regularly made in the
fall and spring to localities easily accessible from Jack-
son, give the class a practical conception of this kind of
survej'ing. The College is fortunate in being located
76 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
in the midst of a region that is quite varied in geological
character. Occasionally the faculty grants a week's
leave of absence on trips to more distant parts. In the
last month of the year Hilgard's Geology of Mississippi
and annual reports of the Smithsonian Institution and
of the United States Geological Survey^ are used with
the class.

and Surveying.
80 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Calculus — The student is expected to acquire facility
in the Differentiation and Integration of all the ele-
mentary functions. The Differential Calculus is
applied to Geometry and Mechanics. In the Inte-
gral Calculus applications are made to finding the
area of plane surfaces. It is hoped that this course
will be such as to lead many to continue the study
of Mathematics for its own sake. Three hours.
Plane Surveying — This course includes chain survey-
ings compass surveying, computation of area, plat-
ting surveys, and transit surveying. Two hours.
(Elective.) (A fee of $3.00 is required in this
course.)
Text-books — Calculus (Osborne); Surveying (Barton).
SENIOR.
(a) Mechanics — (Morley.) Two hours. (Elective.)
(b) Solid Analytic Geometry — (C. Smith.) Two
hours. (Elective.)
(c) Differential Equations — (Page.) Two hours.
(Elective.)
Remarks — (1) In addition to the above courses,
others may be offered, if there is sufficient demand.
(2) Students in the Freshman Class will be charged
a fee of one dollar per year for the use of field instru-
ments.
(3) Students wishing to make up work during the
summer may be granted a special examination by apply-
ing to the Professor for same and paying the special ex-
amination fee. In case the student's instructor is not
the Professor of Mathematics, on application, the exam-
ination may be given by the instructor on the payment
of the regular fee,
ASTRONOMY.
The course embodies a general survey of Astronom-
ical facts and principles, and is required in the Senior
year for all degrees. Frequent use of the six-inch equa-
torial telescope of the James Observatory adds interest
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 81
to the study. A brief course in the history of Astronomy
will be required. Two hours.
Text-books — Manual of Astronomy (Young) ; History
of Astronomy (Berry).
VI. THE SCHOOL OF HISTORY.
Professor Walmsley.
Miss Clingan.
The purpose of the courses in History is rather the
training of the mind of the student for critical historical
judgment than the accumulation of facts. It is believed
that there is no line of work in which more rigidly
scientific training is possible than in the work in His-
torical and Social Science, and it is certain that there is
none in which the knowledge acquired is of more imme-
diate or more practical use. Text-books are not taught
as infallible authorities; in fact, many of the text-books
contain statements from which the head of the Depart-
ment dissents in toto, but it is thought that these very
books may be of special service. Under the guidance of
the Professor the students are taught to reserve their
own judgment until they are confident of the trustworthi-
ness of the author.
Entrance credit for at least two Carnegie units in
History is required for admission to this department.
FRESHMAN.
In the Freshman year an outline of the history of
Mediaeval and Modern Europe is given, and the stress
is laid on the period since the Barbarian invasion, the
period to which the modern nations trace their begin-
ning. Written reports on assigned topics form an impor-
tant part of the work of this year. No equivalent is
accepted for this course unless it covers the same out-
line and is believed to be of equal grade. Three hours.
Text-books — Handbook of European History (Walm-
sley) ; Civilization During the Middle Ages (Adams) ;
Introduction to the Study of the Middle Ages (Em-
82 MILLS APS COLLEGE

Head of the Department for the best paper on some
subject in Political Science. This paper in 1912-13 will
be on "The International Peace Movement."
COURSES LEADING TO THE MASTER'S
DEGREE.
The alternate courses in the Junior or Senior year may
be credited on the Master's work, if not already credited
in the Bachelor's work.
VII. THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIEN'CE.
Professor Walmsley.
While no extended work in the Social Sciences can be
attempted in the time allotted in this department, it is
believed that thorough, honest work is done, and an
insight into problems as well as an appreciation of the
complexity of modern social life is gained.
JUNIOR.
The work in Economics, which is required of all
Juniors, is given for about half the year to theoretical
Economics, and an attempt is made to set forth clearly
the present condition of economic thought. This is fol-
lowed by a more practical course, in which some phase
of economic thought is developed more at length. Dur-
ing the past year the problems of the Protective Tariff
were studied. Two hours.
Text-books — Outlines of Economics (Ely) ; History and
Problems of Organized Labor (Carlton).
SENIOR.
In the Senior year two courses are offered. The first,
which is required of all Seniors, is in Political Science,

studied in detail. Two hours.
Text-books — I. Elements of Sociology (Giddings) ;
Social Pathology (Smith).
I. Principles of International Law (Lawrence) ;
Colonial Government (Reinsch). (Omitted in
1912-13.)
VIII. DEPARTMENT OF GREEK AND LATIN.
Professor Swartz.
Mr. Reynolds.
Mr. Harkey.
Mr. Adams.
Miss Whitson.
Miss Dodds.
It is believed that for the average under-graduate the
study of Latin and Greek subserves in a marked degree
the primary object of education. This primary object
is to give one such mastery over one's 0"\vn mind as to
enable him to focus his thoughts with intentness and at
will upon problems of intrinsic difficulty. The aim of
this department will be so to shape the work as to
endeavor to accomplish this result. To this end thor-
oughness and accuracy in all the courses will be insisted
upon so that the solution of the linguistic problems which
arise may be effected upon the basis of knowledge, and
not upon that of conjecture. The character of the work
of each year is clearly shown by the following outline.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 85
The aim of the work of the Freshman and Soi)homore
classes is to train the student toward reading Greek and
Latin with ease and accuracy. To tliis end tlie autliors
read will serve as a basis for an accurate and thorough
review of forms, syntax, and case relations, and to the
acquisition of a vocabulary. A literary appreciation of
the authors studied will be sought and their influence
uj)on modern literature empliasizcd.
An entrance credit of at least three units in Latin and
at least two units in Greek is required for admission to
the work of this department.
Both Freshman and Sophomore classes meet three
times a week.

JUNIOR
In the Junior and Senior years the eiFort will be con-
tinually made to instill into the minds of the students
an enthusiasm for Greek and Latin literature; to show
him that the literature of antiquity is not a dead^ im-
passive something, but that in it there pulsates a fiery
glow and genial warth unequaled in the literature of
modern times. The authors read will be expected, each
in his several ways, to contribute his quota toward the
accomplishment of this result.

COURSE IN BIBLE GREEK.
Since many of our Bible students go out into the
active work of the ministry without having the advan-
tages of a Theological Seminary, it has been thought
advisable to offer a course in Bible Greek. The follow-
ing course is offered as a substitute for a Junior Course
in Classic Greek.
Since a thorough appreciation of Hellenistic Greek
from a linguistic standpoint cannot be had without an
accurate knowledge of Classic Greek, students will be
88 MILLS APS COLLEGE
discouraged from taking this course who have not finished
the Sophomore year in Classic Greek. Furthermore, no
student will be encouraged to take this course in Bible
Greek who is not looking to the ministry as his life
work, for this course is in no way intended as a substi-
tute for more difficult Greek.
The method of instruction will be to find out the
exact meaning of the passage in hand by a close scru-
tiny of the wordsj by a comparison of the words with
their uses in other passages, and by a discussion of their
meaning in the classic period. Ancient customs and
manners will be laid under requisition to explain all
kindred references in the text; in short, everything will
be done to elucidate the passage under discussion, and to
bring out its meaning linguistically. The course is not
designed to be theological. Two courses will be offered:
(a) The Gospels.
(b) The letters of Paul, and Acts.
Text-books — Burton's Moods and Tenses ; Westcott and
Hort's Text of the Greek Bible; Gardiner's Prin-
ciples of Textual Criticism; Meyer's Commentary
on Acts; Coneybeare and Howson's Life of Paul;
Davis' The Story of the Nazarene; Matthew's His-
tory of New Testament Times in Palestine.
IX. THE SCHOOL OF ENGLISH.
Professor Kern.
Miss Whitson.
The aim of the four years' course in English is three-
fold— to teach English composition, to study the origin
and development of the English language and literature,
and to interpret and appreciate English literature.
FRESHMAN.
After a rapid review of the essentials of composition
and rhetoric, in which stress is placed chiefly upon cor-
rectness and clearness, the more technical aspects of
composition are studied in detail. Daily and weekly
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 89
exercises serve to enforce the principles of the text-book.
During the spring term selections from American liter-
ature are read with the purpose of developing literary
appreciation and the love of good literature. Especial
attention is given to Poe and Hawthorne. Parallel read-
ing is assigned throughout the year. Three hours.
Text-books — Gardiner, Kittredge and Arnold, Manual
of English Composition ; Woolley, Handbook of
Composition; Woolley, Exercises in English; Poe,
Poems and Tales (R. L. S.) ; Poe, Prose Tales
(Macmillan) ; Longfellow, Tales of a Wayside Inn
(R. L. S.); Hawthorne, Twice Told Tales (R. L.
S.) ; Selections from Stevenson (Canby and Pierce).
SOPHOMORE.
The object of this course is to give the student a gen-
eral view of the history and development of English
literature from the Old English period to the present,
preparatory to the study of special periods and topics.
Parallel with the development of the literature, select
poems, essays, and novels are studied. In the spring
term a short course in Shakespeare is given, in which
stress is laid upon plot and character development, and
upon methods of interpretation. Exercises in short
story writing are required throughout the year. Three
hours.
Text-books — Pancoast, Standard English Poems ;
Moody and Lovett, A First View of English Litera-
ture; Hamlet (Chambers); Macbeth (Chambers);
Twelfth Night (Innes) ; Much Ado About Nothing
(Smith) ; Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities (Moore) ;
Eliot, Adam Bede; Scott, Heart of Midlothian.
JUNIOR.
During the first half year the essentials of Old Eng-
lish phonology and grammar are taught by means of text-
books and lectures, and selections from Old English prose
and poetry are read. This is followed by a course in
90 MILLS APS COLLEGE
Chaucer and in the history of the language. Parallel
work is assigned throughout the year. Three hours.
Text-books — Smith, Old English Grammar; Sweet,
Anglo-Saxon Primer; Greenough and Kittredge,
Words and Their Ways ; Chaucer, Prologue, Knight's
Tale, Nun's Priest's Tale (Mather) ; Chaucer, The
Tale of the Man of Lawe, The Pardoneres Tale, etc.
(Skeat).
SENIOR.
In the Senior year the entire time is spent in the study
of a single author. For the session of 1912-13 the class
will study Shakespearean tragedy, basing their work
upon the plays of Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and King
Lear. Two essays are required during the year. Two
hours.
Text-books — Bradley, Shakespearean Tragedy; Boas,
Shakespeare and His Predecessors; Macbeth (Cham-
bers) ; Hamlet (Chambers) ; Othello (Rolfe) ; King
Lear (Smith).
THE SCHOOL OF MODERN LANGUAGES.
Professor J. M. Burton.
The regular work in French and German begins with
the Freshman class, but for the benefit of those who
have been unable to fulfill the entrance requirements in
these subjects before entering college, a preparatory
course will be given in each. The student is grounded
in the fundamental principles of grammar and pro-
nunciation, and, by the use of suitable readings, he
acquires a fair facility in translation. This course, or
its equivalent, one Carnegie unit, is required for admis-
sion to the Freshman work in each subject.
Text-books — German: Bacon's German Grammar;
Bacon's Im Vaterland. French: Eraser and Squair's
French Grammar, Part L; Mairet's La Tache du
Petit Pierre; Legouve and Labiche's La Cigale chez
les Fourmis.
MILLS APS COLLEGE 91
FRESHMAN.
Tlie Freshman class continues the work of the ele-
mentary course, reviewing and amplifying the principles
learned there. Its aim is to complete a standard gram-
mar in each subject, with weekly exercises in composi-
tion and further work in pronunciation, and to enable
the student to read French and German fluently. Sight
reading will be stressed in the second term.
Text-books — German: Thomas' German Grammar;
Bacon's Im Vaterland; Forster's Karl Heinrich;
Storm's Immensee; Freytag's Die Journalisten.
French: Fraser and Squair's French Grammar, Part
II.; Merimee's Columba; Labiche and Martin's Le
Voyage de M. Perrichon ; ^Maupassant, Ten Short
Stories; Hugo's La Chute.
SOPHOMORE.
The work of the Sophomore year is similar to that of
the Freshman, but is conducted less from a grammatical
standpoint; its purpose is to widen the horizon of the
student by giving him a first-hand knowledge of some
other literature and people than his own. With some
standard work as a basis, an effort will be made to intro-
duce the student to the principle features and personali-
ties of the French and German literatures.
Text-books — German: Course A. — Lessing's Emilia
Galotti ; Schiller's Wilhelm Tell ; Goethe's Faust,
Part I.; Heine's Die Harzreise; Priest's Short His-
tory of German Literature; Sidgwick's Home Life in
Germany.
Course B. (not offered in 1912-13) — Lessing's
Nathan der Weise ; Goethe's Hermann und Dorothea ;
Klenze's Deutsche Gedichte; Scheffel's Ekkehard;
Priest's Short History of German Literature; Sidg-
wick's Home Life in Germany.
French: Course A. — Corneille's Le Cid; Racine's
Athalie; Moliere's Le Misanthrope; Warren's French
Prose of the XVII. Century; Hugo's Hernani; Bal-
92 MILLS APS COLLEGE
zac's Cinq Scenes de la Comedie Humaine; Daudet's
Le Nabab; Kastner and Atkins' History of French
Literature; Wendell's France of Today.
Course B. (not offered in 1.Q12-13) — Corneille's
Polyeucte; Racine's Andromache; Moliere's L'Avare;
Hugo's Ruy Bias; Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris;
Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac; Gautier's Jettatura;
Kastner and Atkins' History of French Literature;
Wendell's France of Today.
JUNIOR.
No distinct Junior courses will be given unless there
is considerable demand for them. Any student, how-
ever, who has finished the Sophomore work, may take
the alternate course put down under that heading as a
Junior or Senior elective. In this case the course will be
supplemented by additional parallel readings and papers
bearing on the subject under discussion.

THE LAW SCHOOL
GENERAL INFORMATION.
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
MILLS APS COLLEGE 97
be assured, a Department of Professional Education,
embodying a Law and a Theological School.
In the year 1896, the time came when, in the judg-
ment of the trustees, it was possible and proper to estab-
lish the Law Department. Accordingly, they directed
that at the beginning of the next session, the doors of
this institution should be opened for the 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 the step was determined on, a re-
spectable class was already secured for the first session.
Doctor Mayes came to us with fourteen years' experi-
ence as law professor in the State University, and with
a reputation for ability and skill as in instructor which
was thoroughly established. He had already secured the
assistance of a number of most accomplished lawyers,
who promised to deliver occasional lectures, thus adding
greatly to the interest and variety of instruction offered.
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 examination 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 an-
swers were, as law directs, forwarded by the Chancellor
to the Supreme Judges. Every applicant passed the
ordeal successfully and received his license. We are now
closing the fifteenth annual session of our Law School,
and no student has failed in any year to pass the exam-
ination and receive his license. We point with pride
to the results. We now have two hundred and ten
graduates.
The nature of the examination passed, being held by
the Chancellor in his official character, puts beyond
question or cavil the genuineness of that result. We
do not ask of our patrons, or those who contemplate
98 MILL8APS COLLEGE
becoming our patrons, to accept any statement of our
own. The finding and the statement are those of the
Judicial Department of the State; and every law grad-
uate of Millsaps College stands before the world en-
dorsed, not by the College alone, which is much, but also
by the State itself, speaking through its Chancellors.
This is more than can be said for any other young law-
yer in the State. None others have such a double
approval as a part of their regular course.
The location of the school at Jackson enables the man-
agers to offer to the students extraordinary advantages,
in addition to the institution itself. Here is located the
strongest bar in the State, whose management of their
cases in courts, 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 ordinary 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 cases in actual liti-
gation from the lower tribunal to the highest, and ob-
serve in their practical operation the nice distinction
between the State and Federal jurisdiction and practice.
Here also is located the extensive and valuable State
Law Library, unequalled in the State, the privileges of
which each student may enjoy without cost. Here, too,
where the Legislature convenes every second year, the
student has an opportunity, without absenting himself
from his school, to witness the deliberations 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
legislation.
Applicants for admission to the Junior class must be
at least nineteen 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 re-
MILLS A PS COLLEGE 99
quired. Students may enter the Senior class upon satis-
factory examination on the matter of the Junior course
or its equivalent. No student will 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.
No rebate of 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 Senior, each comprising forty weeks, five
exercises per week.
The instruction will consist mainly of daily examina-
tion 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 pro-
fessor will accompany the examination by running com-
ments upon the text, illustrating and explaining it, and
showing how the law as therein stood has been modified
or reversed by recent adjudications and legislation.
The course will be carefully planned and conducted so
as to meet the requirement of the ]\Iississippi law in
respect to the admission of applicants to practice law, by
examination before the Chancery Court, and will there-
fore embrace all 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 Plead-
ing and Evidence; (4) The Commercial Law; (5) The
Criminal Law; (6) Chancery and Chancery Pleadings;
(7) The Statute Law of the State; (8) The Constitution
of the State and the United 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
100 MILLSAP8 COLLEGE
prepare them for examination for license with assur-
ance of success; secondly^ to equip them for actual prac-
tice by higher range of legal scholarship than what is
merely needed for a successful 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 em-
brace each of the eight subjects on which the applicant
for license is required by 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 us, if he will apply himself with
reasonable fidelity, can go before the Chancellor at the
expiration of his Junior year, with a certainty of suc-
cess. The preparation of applicants for license in one
year, will be in short, a specialty of this school.
When the student shall have completed his Junior
year, he will have open to him either one of two courses :
He may stand his examination 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 and, of
course, without further examination, 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 prefer 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 license. It is not, strictly speak-
ing, a post-graduate course, since it must be taken be-
fore 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.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 101
The Senior class is required to attend the recitations
of the Junior class by way of review, and to be prepared
for daily questioning on the daily lessons of the Junior
class.
Moot courts will be conducted under the direction of
the professor in charge, in which the young men will be
carefully instructed and drilled in the practical conduct
of cases.
EXPENSES.

102 MILL8APS COLLEGE
MILLSAPS PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
The Preparatory Department of Millsaps College was
reorganized in IpH into a separate school, independent
of the College in course of study, discipline and general
management. The home of Millsaps Preparatory School
is Founder's Hall, a large three-story brick building, con-
taining the assembly hall, class rooms, the dining hall
and about fifty dormitory rooms. The building is steam-
heated and equipped with electric lights, waterworks and
all modern conveniences.
Discipline — Regulations suited to the needs of youth-
ful students are enforced. Gentlemanly conduct is in-
sisted upon. Students are forbidden to go to town at
night, except when absolutely necessary. From 7 to 9:30
at night they are required to assemble in the study hall
and engage in preparation of lessons.
Course of Study — The course of study is that of ^he
regular four-year high school. "Thoroughness" is the
watchword. As far as possible individual attention is
given to backward and delinquent students. When the
course is completed the graduate is prepared to enter
any college or university in the country, or to begin at
once the active duties of life.
