point  consistent  with  the  efficient  operation  of  said  Col- 
lege, and  to  this  end  reports  shall  be  made  to  the  said 
Conferences  from  year  to  year,  and  their  advice  in  that 
behalf  taken,  and  every  reasonable  effort  shall  be  made 
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

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

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

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.

Withdrawals — Voluntary  withdrawal  from  the  Col- 
lege requires  the  written  consent  of  the  faculty  or  Presi-

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

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

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.

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

V.     THE  SCHOOL  OF  MATHEMATICS  AND 
ASTRONOMY. 
Professor  Burton. 
Miss  Dodds. 
Miss  Linfield. 
The  leading   purpose  of  the   course   in   Mathematics 
is  the  logical  training  of  the  mind.     A  mastery  of  the 
fundamental  principles  of  the  subjects  is  insisted  upon 
and  much  attention  is   given  to  the  application  of  the 
knowledge  acquired  to  the  solution  of  problems  of  every- 
day life.     Entrance  credit  for  at  least  two  and  one-half

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.)

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

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.

DEGREE. 

The  alternate  courses  in  the  Junior  or  Senior  year  may

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, 
and  after  studying  our  own  government  as  it  is,  takes 


84  MILLS  A  PS    COLLEGE 

up  the  outlines  of  the  government  of  England,  and  thus 
lays   the    foundation    for    intelligent   political   criticism. 
Three  hours. 
Text-books — I.       American     Commonwealth     (Bryce)  ; 

Government  of  England  (Lowell). 

II.     Introduction  to  Political  Science   (Garner)  ; 

American  Government  and  Politics  (Beard). 
The  work  of  the  second  course,  which  is  elective  for 
all  degrees,  is  in  Sociology  or  International  Law.  In 
each  course,  after  a  theoretical  study  of  the  science,  some 
of  the  present  problems  of  society  or  diplomacy  are 
studied  in  detail.  Two  hours. 
Text-books — I.      Elements    of    Sociology    (Giddings) ; 

Social  Pathology  (Smith). 

I.     Principles  of  International  Law  (Lawrence)  ;

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.

C  and  D  in  Greek  and  Course  D  in  Latin,  will  be  offered

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

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

ing is  assigned  throughout  the  year.     Three  hours.

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);

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
