HISTORY.
The charter of Millsaps College, which was granted Feb-
ruary 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. Tharmes, Thomas
J. Newell and Rufus M. Standifer, of the North Mississippi Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Gawin
D. Shands, David L. Sweatman, James B. Streater, and John
Trice, lay members of said church within bounds of said Con-
ference and Thomas L. Mellen, Warren C. Black, Alexander 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
Conference, 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 im-
pleaded, 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 here-
after to be established by them, and contributions of money or
negotiable securities of every kind in aid of the endowment of
such College; and may confer degrees and give certificates of
scholarship and make by-laws for the government of said Col-
lege and its affairs, as well as for their government, and do
and perforna all other acts for the benefit of said institution and
the promotion of its welfare that are not repugnant to the Con-
stitution 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 shall meet
In the City of Jackson, in this State, and organize by accep-
tance of the charter and the election of Bishop Charles B. Gal-
16 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
loway as their permanent President, and of such other persons
as they may determine to fill the offices of Vice-President, Sec-
retary and Treasurer, 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 fronn the lay and clerical Trus-
tees from each of said Conferences, one-half, who shall be
Trustees of said College for three years and until their succes-
sors 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 hereinafter mentioned. Upon the death, resig-
nation or removal of said Galloway, or his permanent physical
disability to discharge the duties of his office, the said Trus-
tees 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 Conference 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, jurisdic-
tion, and powers of the Trustees whose terms of office have
expired. And the said corporation and the College established
by it shall be subject to the visitorial powers of said Conferences
at all times, and the said College, its property and effects shall
be the property of said Church under the special patronage of
said Conferences.
Sec. 4. That the said Trustees, when organized, as herein-
before directed, shall be known by the corporate name set out
in the first section of this Act, and all mioney, promissory notes
and evidence of debt heretofore collected under the direction
of said Conferences for said College shall be turned over to and
receipted for by them in their said corporate name, and the
payee of all such notes and evidences of debt shall endorse and
HISTORY 17
assign the same to the corporation herein provided for, which
shall thereafter be vested with the full legal title 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 said College, and to purchase grounds not to ex-
ceed one hundred acres as a building site and campus therefor,
and erect thereon such buildings, dormitories, and halls as they
may think expedient and proper to subserve the purposes of
their organization and the best interests of said institution, and
they may invite propositions from any 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 land or grounds not to exceed one hun-
dred 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 contributed to said College
shall be exempt from all State, County and Municipal taxation
so long as the said College 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 practi-
cable, be reduced by said corporation to the lowest point con-
sistent with the efficient operation of said College, and to this
end reports shall be miade to the said Conferences from year
to year, and their advice in that behalf taken, and every reason-
able 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 Meth-
odist Church to maintain institutions under its own control for
higher learning in the Arts and Sciences.
At the annual session of the Mississippi Conference in the
city of Vicksburg, on December 7, in the year 1888, the follow-
ing resolutions were adopted by a large majority of the Con-
ference :
18 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
"Resolved, 1. That a College for males under the
auspices and control of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, ought to be established at some central and ac-
cessible 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, buildings, or money for that purpose, and re-
port to the next session of this Conference."
In accordance with this action, the President of the Con-
ference, Bishop R. K. Hargrove, appointed the following commit-
tee: 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 Conference
naiet in Starkville, Mississippi, Bishop C. B. Galloway 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 response
made by that body:
"Resolved, 1. That a College for the education of
boys and young men should be established in the State
of Mississippi under the auspices of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.
"That a committee of three laymen and three
ministers be appointed to confer with a like committee
already appointed by the Mississippi Conference."
The following committee was accordingly appointed: Rev.
J. J. Wheat, Rev. S. M. Thames, Rev. T. J. Newell, Hon. G. D.
Shands, Capt. D. L. Sweatman, and Mr. J. B. Streater.
To the action of these Conferences we may trace the direct
origin of the College.
The joint commission constituted by the action summarized
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 propo-
HISTORY 19
sition to establish a Methodist College in Mississippi for the
education 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, provided 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 procedure was adopted, Bishop Charles B. Gal-
loway 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 tinne to time. The re-
port submitted to the Conferences by the committee in Decem-
ber, 1889, refers to the movement in the following language:
"The canvass, on account of the numerous neces-
sitated absences of Bishop Galloway from the State,
could not be continuously carried on, but even the par-
tial 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 kindled such enthus-
iasm in our State or evoked such liberal offerings to
the Lord. The fact has been demionstrated that the
Church is profoundly convinced that the College is an
absolute necessity."
The report continues:
"So high is the appreciation of the value of the pro-
posed institution, that numerous towns in the State
have entered into earnest competition to secure the
location of the College within the limits of their respec-
tive 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
20 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
co-operate with Bishop Galloway in all matters pertaining to
the endowment of the proposed College. As the work of rais-
ing the sum designated in the original proposition progressed,
and $25,000 had been collected, 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, ISd'o, he leported
that the full amount had been collected to meet the terms of
Major Millsaps' proposition, and thereupon $25,000 was invme-
diately paid by Major Millsaps to the Executive Committee and
the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Executive Committee return 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 liberality and unfailing interest in the
great enterprise so happily and successfully inaugu-
rated, the Church and State owe him a large debt of
gratitude."
The Conferences having provided for a Board of Trustees,
the joint commission dissolved in January, 1890. This Board,
to which was referred the matter of organizing 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. NEW^ELL REV. A. P. WATKINS
REV. C. G. ANDREWS, D.D. REV. R. M. STANDIPER
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 question
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,
Mississippi, decided to locate the College in Jackson, the capital
HISTORY 21
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 immiediate-
ly procured, grounds were purchased and in a comparatively
short time buildings were in process of erection.
At a meeting held in Jackson, April 28, 1892, Rev. W. B.
Murrah was elected President, N. A. Patillo was elected Pro-
fessor of Mathematics, W. L. Weber, Professor of English Lan-
guage and Literature, G. C. Swearingen, Professor of Latin and
Greek, and Rev. M. M. Black was chosen Principal of the Pre-
paratory School.
With this faculty the College began its first session on
September 29, 1892. W. L. Weber was made Secretary of the
Faculty.
In 1893 the Department of Chemistry was created, and A.
M. Muckenfuss was elected to take charge of it.
In 1894 Rev. M. M. Black resigned as Principal of the Pre-
paratory School, the school was reorganized, and Professor R.
S. Ricketts was elected Headmaster. E. L. Bailey was elected
Assistant Master.
In 1897 the Department of History and Modern Languages
was created, and J. P. Hanner was elected to the position. Work
in these subjects had been offered prior to that time. In 1904
the department was divided, the Department of History and
Economiics, with J. E. Walmsley at its head, was established,
and the Department of Modern Languages was created, with
O. H. Moore as its first head.
In 1908 the chair of Assistant Master in Latin and English
was added to the Preparatory School, and S. G. Noble was
elected to that position.
In 1908 the office of Treasurer of the Faculty was created,
and Dr. M. W. Swartz, Professor of Ancient Languages, was
chosen for this place.
In 1911 the office of Vice-President was created, and Dr.
J. M. Sullivan, Professor of Chemistry, Physics and Natural
History, was made Vice-President. At the same time the chair
which Doctor Sullivan had occupied was divided, and Doctor
22 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Sullivan was made Professor of Chemistry and Geology, the
Department of Physics and Biology was created, and G. L. Har-
rell was placed in charge of that work.
The unusual facilities for conducting a Law School in Jack-
son led to the establishment, in 1896, of a Law School. Hon.
Edward Mayes, ex-Chancellor of the University of Mississippi,
and for more than fourteen years a professor of Law in that
institution, took active control of the new School and is still
its head.
In 1911 the Preparatory School was formally separated
from the College. It is now a distinct institution with the of-
ficial title of the Millsaps Preparatory School. It has a sepa-
rate camipus, buildings of its own, a faculty which conducts it
as an independent school, and its facilities and buildings are
described in its own catalogue.
The facilities of the College were enlarged in 1895-
1896 by the generosity of Major Millsaps, who gave Webster
Science Hall, which cost more than $10,000. In 1901 Mr. Dan
A. James, of Yazoo City, built an observatory for the College,
in memory of his father, Mr. Peter James, and of his brother,
Mr. Samuel James, and furnished it with a fine telescope.
Millsaps College can thus offer unusual advantages in Astron-
omy. In 1902, to supply the increasing demand for better dor-
mitory and dining hall facilities, Major Millsaps gave the Col-
lege the property formerly known as Jackson College, costing
more than $30,000. This enabled the College to fill the demands
made on it at that time. In addition to this gift Major Mill-
saps gave fifty acres of land immediately adjoining our campus,
and valued at $50,000. Ample provision is thus made for the
future expansion of the College.
In 1906 the General Education Board offered to donate, from
the funds provided by John D. Rockefeller for Higher Educa-
tion, $25,000, provided an additional sum of $75,000 should be
collected from other sources, for the permanent endowment of
the College. Rev. T. W. Lewis, of the North Mississippi Con-
ference was made financial Agent of the College to collect this
sum. In 1910 $32,279.10 had been collected for this purpose.
HISTORY 23
Mr. I. C. Enochs, a generous citizen of Jackson, gave an ad-
ditional $5,000. Major Millsaps, with characteristic generosity,
contributed the remainin $37,720.90. Thus the endowment of
the College was increased by $100,000.
At the Commencement of 1913 Major Millsaps gave to the
College property on Capitol Street, Jackson, valued at $150,000.
This is the largest single gift to the College.
The dormitory of the Preparatory School was destroyed by
fire in 1913, but it was promptly rebuilt and made more valuable
by alterations which also improved greatly the appearance of
the structure. A more disastrous fire destroyed the main build-
ing in 1914. But within a few months the old structure had been
replaced by a far more commodious and imposing administra-
tion building, costing $60,000.
In 1917 the late Mr. George W. Galloway, of Madison
County, established a scholarship in Millsaps College to be
known as "The Marvin Galloway Scholarship", in memory of
his son, the late Dr. Marvin Galloway, a graduate of Millsaps
College in the class of 1902.
At the decease of Major Millsaps in 1916, it was found that
he had left for the endowment of the College life insurance to
the amount of $88,000. This final benefaction fittingly closed
the long list of his gifts to the College.
The following statement of the resources of the College,
while not inclusive of all sources of its revenue, gives some
idea of the solidity of its foundation, and also furnishes a guar-
antee of its perpetuity:
Productive endowment, Including revenue
producing property $553,000
Buildings and grounds 210,000
Value of the Library 12,000
Value of Chemdcal, Physical and Biological
apparatus 8,000
Furniture and Fixtures 4,000
Unproductive Endowment 40,000
Total $827,000
24 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
One of the purposes which the College keeps constantly in
view is indicated by the following section of the charter:
"The cost of education shall, as far as practicable,
be reduced to the lowest point consistent with the ef-
ficient operation of said College, and every reasonable
effort shall be made to bring collegiate education within
the reach of the poorer classes of the State."
With a productive endowment of over $550,000 and buildings
and grounds worth $250,000, it rests on a foundation which
assures its perpetuity. It has the support of a great religious
denomination, yet it is not sectarian in its policy. It numbers
among its patrons, representatives of all the Christian churches.
Since 1912 Millsaps College has been a member of the
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, a distinction
enjoyed by only one other institution in this State. An im-
partial committee of the Association made exhaustive inquiry
into the financial resources of the institution, its courses, the
training of its instructors, and the character of its work, and
unanimously recommended it for membership. This inquiry
extended over a year, and no conditions whatever were imt-
posed for the election of the College, since it had been of the
first rank for some years. Its degrees are recognized by all
institutions of learning as among the best in the land.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 29
DEFINITIONS OF UNITS.
The following definitions of the units in the requirements
for entrance are designed on the one hand to guide the student
in his preparation for the entrance examinations, and on the
other to govern the high school principal and teacher in organ-
izing the courses of study.
ENGLISH.
The study of English in school has two main objects: (1)
command of correct and clear English, spoken and written; (2)
ability to read with accuracy, intelligence, and appreciation.
English A and B. Grammar and Composition.
The first object requires instruction in Grammar and Compo-
sition. English Grammar should ordinarily be reviewed in the
secondary school; and correct spelling and gramimatical accuracy
should be rigorously exacted in connection with all written work
during the four years. The principles of English Composition
governing punctuation, the use of words, sentences, and para-
graphs should be thoroughly mastered; and practice in compo-
sition, oral as well as written, should extend throughout the
secondary-school period. Written exercises may well comprise
letter writing, narration, description, and easy exposition and
argument. It is advisable that subjects for this work be taken
from the students' personal experience, general knowledge, and
studies other than English, as well as from his reading in Litera-
ture. Finally, special instruction in language and composition
should be accompanied by concerted effort of teachers in all
branches to cultivate in the student the habit of using good
English in his recitations and various exercises, whether oral
or written.
English C. Literature.
The second object is sought by means of two lists of books
headed respectively Reading and Study, from which may be
framed a progressive course in Literature covering four years.
In connection with both lists, the student should be trained in
reading aloud and be encouraged to commit to memiory some of
the more notable passages both in verse and in prose. As an
30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
aid to literary appreciation, he is further advised to acquaint
himself with the most important facts in the lives of the authors
whose works he reads and with their place in literary history.
(a) Reading.
The aim of this course is to foster in the student the habit
of intelligent reading and to develop a taste for good literature,
by giving him a first-hand knowledge of some of its best speci-
mens. He should read the books carefully, but his attention
should not be so fixed upon details that he fails to appreciate
the main purpose and charm of what he reads.
With a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided
for reading are arranged in the following groups, from each of
which at least two selections are to be made, except as other-
wise provided under Group I.

IV, V, XV, XVI, XVII; the Iliad, with the omission, if de-
sired, of Books XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVII, XXI; the Aeneid.
The Odyssey, Iliad, and Aeneid should be read in English
translations of recognized literary excellence. For any se-
lection from this group a selection from any other group
may be substituted.

Examination.
However accurate in subject matter, no paper will be con-

ing, or other essentials of good usage.
The examination will be divided into two parts, one of which
will be on Grammar and Composition, and the other on Litera-
ture. In Grammar and Composition, the candidate may be asked
specific questions upon the practical essentials of these studies,
such as the relation of the various parts of a sentence to one
another, the construction of individual words in a sentence of
reasonable difficulty, and those good usages of modern English
which one should know in distinction fronu current errors. The
main test in composition will consist in one or more essays,
developing a theme through several paragraphs; the subjects
will be drawn from the books read, from the candidate's other
studies, and from his personal knowledge and experience quite
apart from reading. For this purpose the examiner will provide
several subjects, perhaps eight or ten, from which the candidate
may make his own selections. He will not be expected to write
more than four hundred words per hour.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Millsaps College is named in honor of Major R. W. Millsaps,
whose munificent gifts have made the existence of the institu-
tion 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 numibers among its patrons mem-
bers 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 in the
northern part of the city, on a commanding elevation, with per-
fect 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. Jackson is a city of 30,000 inhabitants,
with handsome churches and public buildings, and is noted for
the refinement and intelligence of its people. Its literary, social
and religious advantages are superior.
The College has an endowment of $593,000, of which $553,-
000 is productive, and several partially endowed scholarships.
The first scholastic session began September 29, 1892, and the
College has had remarkable prosperity from the beginning. The
generous founder. Major Millsaps, by the gift of the Webster
Science Hall, at a cost of $10,000, the Jackson College property at
a cost of more than $30,000, and fifty acres of land immediately
adjoining our campus, has greatly enlarged our facilities.
THE JAMES OBSERVATORY.
Millsaps College is prepared to offer excellent advantages
in the study of astronomiy. The late Mr. Dan A. James, of Yazoo
City, Mississippi, built an observatory for the College in
memory of his father, Mr. Peter James, and of his brother,
Mr. Samuel James. He also furnished the observatory with a
fine telescope. The Observatory building and equipment has
recently been renovated, and is in excellent order. The class
46 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
of 1916 donated a fine photographic lens to the observatory,
which adds materially to its equipment.
CARNEGIE MILLSAPS LIBRARY.
Near the close of the session of 1905-1906, Mr. Andrew Car-
negie offered to give $15,000 for a library building if the trus-
tees would supply an endowment of equal amount. Major Mill-
saps added to his many contributions by giving the full amount
of the endowment. With the income from this endowment and
the complete A. L. A. card catalogue, the College is able to of-
fer library facilities that are not surpassed in the State. Dur-
ing the present session seventy periodicals were received in
the reading roomi and eight 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, John W. Burruss and Rev. W. G.
Millsaps, the entire 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, Mis-
sissippi, is used for the purchase of books in English literature.
The students also have access to the State Library and the
Jackson Public Library, which are 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 Faculty and
students come together to hear the reading of the sacred Scrip-
tures and to engage in singing and prayer. Students must at-
tend religious worship at least once on the Sabbath in one of
the churches of Jackson.
THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
One of the most potent factors in the College for developing
the students into a broader life is the Young Men's Christian
Association. Its policy and aim is to develop the three-fold na-
ture of the students — the moral, intellectual and spiritual. It
ANNOUNCEMENTS 47
is a well-known fact that the student who develops himself in-
tellectually, but neglects his moral and spiritual nature, is in
no sense a complete 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 as much to mold character
and to hold up a high standard of Ideals before the students
as any other department in connection 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 thfe
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 accomplish this purpose the
Association holds weekly meetings on Friday evenings. These
services are usually conducted by some of the students, but
occasionally by some members of the Faculty, or by some min-
ister 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.
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 last year were conducted by
Rev. J. Marvin Culbreth, of Nashville, Tenn., and resulted in re-
newing enthusiasm and in giving great stimulus to Association
work.
The Association sends yearly a delegation to the Southern
Students' Conference at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. Since the
ten days of the Convention are assiduously devoted to discuss-
ing Association work and problems, the delegates always return
enthusiastic and zealous for doing Christian service.
48 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The work of the Association is carried on by the students;
each man has his part to do according to the plan of organiza-
tion. The President, elected by the members, appoints chair-
men 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 Comnnittee meets all new students
as they arrive, and gives them any information desired con-
cerning College, boarding facilities, etc. Afterward this commit-
tee 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 entertainment that the Associa-
tion may choose to give during the year. The object of College
Night is to make the students acquainted with one another and
to interest the new men in the different phases of College life.
The Employment Conwnittee assists deserving students in get-
ting employment for their spare time. The City Mission Com-
mittee has charge of work in different parts of the city. The
Devotional Committee provides leaders, and the Music Commit-
tee, whose Chairman is the Treasurer of the Association, col-
lects 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 fornned at the Dormitory
and at the boarding houses. The students engage in daily Bible
reading and meet for one hour each week, for discussion. The
Mission Study Committee arranges courses in biographies of
missionaries 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 himself with the
organization.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Two large halls have been provided for the Literary So-
cieties organized for the purpose of improvement in debate,
declamation, composition, and acquaintance with the methods
of deliberative bodies. These societies are conducted by the
ANNOUNCEMENTS 49
students under constitutions and by-laws of their own framing.
They are named, respectively, the Galloway and the Lamar
societies, and contribute greatly to the improvenuent of their
members.
During the session of 1915-16 the young ladies organized a
Literary Society, which is named the Clionian Society.
PUBLIC LECTURES.
With the view of promoting general culture among the
students, and to furnish them with pleasant and profitable en-
tertainment, a lyceum lecture course is conducted by the Col-
lege authorities. There are 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.
BOARDING FACILITIES.
Students of Millsaps College, as a rule, arrange for their
living in one of three ways:
1. There are eight small cottages, in which students can
board themselves at reduced cost. These cottages are admir-
ably situated on the eastern side of the campus. The roonus
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 be-
ginning 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 cost to a student living in a cottage need not exceed
$12.00 a month. Students wishing to engagre a room in one of
the cottages should write Dr. J. M. Sullivan, Treasurer, at the
College.
50 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
2. There are "Student Homes," capable of accommodating
a limited number of boarders, and each is in charge of a Chris-
tian family. These homes furnish room, light, board and fur-
niture 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 ses-
sion. Students furnish their bedding and linen. The necessary
cost in these homes ranges from $15.00 to $19.00 a month a
student. Students 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. Founder's Hall is open to a limited number of College
students. Here the expense is only $14.00 per month, including
room, lights, steann heat, board, matron's services, and hospital
facilities. Last year the cost of board was $11.50 a month.
Students may room in the cottages and take their meals at the
Preparatory School. There are Christian homes where students
may get rooms without board. In such cases the student may
get meals at the Preparatory School or at private homes.
MEMORIAL 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
students. 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-colleg-
iate Athletic Association, and takes part in all intercollegiate
gamies except football. Games and sports of all kinds are under
the special direction of the General Athletic Association, a stu-
dent organization, whose object is to promote this class of phy-
sical exercise. The faculty exercises a general advisory control,
endeavoring to foresee and avert dangerous tendencies or excess
in physical exercises while giving to the student, as far as pos-
sible, entire liberty of management; a strict limit is placed upon
the character of the intercollegiate games and the number
played away from the College.
ANNOUNCEMENTS 51
Our new athletic field is equipped with an excellent diamond,
a perfect one-fourth mile cinder track, a grandstand with seat-
ing 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. Millsaps. The work of tufting, protection and
decoration is going on steadily and will, it is estimated, cost
two thousand dollars more.
MATRICULATION.
The courses of study are composed in three schools, two
of which are academic and one professional. The former in-
clude the College and School of Graduate Studies, the latter
the School of Law. The various departments are under the
direction of professors who are responsible for the systems and
miethods pursued.
The session begins on the third Wednesday of September
and continues, with recess of about ten days at Christmas, until
the first 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.
EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations in each class are held in writing. Oral
examinations are held in some departments, but they are auxil-
iary 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
practicable, the nature of the progress made by him in his work
at the College.
52 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
HONOR SYSTEM.
Not the least of the educational influences of the College
is the honor system. According to this systenu the student is
not watched by the members of the Faculty during examinations,
but is required to pledge his honor that he has neither received
nor given any aid during the period of 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 been lessened, but that a spirit of honor and truth
has been fostered which tends to include not only the examina-
tion tests, but all relations between student 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 College
at his office in the main building at some time during the first
two days of the session. In each instance a certificate of good
moral character must be presented, signed by the proper of-
ficial of the institution attended during the previous session,
or by somie person of known standing. Each candidate who
satisfies these resuirements and those for admission by diploma,
certificate or examination, previously stated, will be furnished
with a card containing the courses which he proposes 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 in to the Secretary.
No student shall be admitted into any department of the
College, except upon presentation to the professor of the de-
partment of the Treasurer's receipt for all entrance and tuition
fees, in no case are entrance or laboratory fees returned.
Tuition fees will be charged by the term and must be paid
not later than Thursday of the second week of each term. No
tuition fee will be returned unless a student is disqualified for
work by severe illness for more than a half term.
No student shall be considered by the faculty as an appli-
cant for graduation until he shall have settled with the Treas-
urer all his indebtedness to the College.
Students who have already been matriculated as miembers
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 preced-
ing paragraph.
54 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
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 week of the session will be admitted to registration
only upon the consent of the President.
RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE and GRADE.
The academic year begins on the morning of the third
Wednesday of September and continues for thirty-seven weeks.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday, and there is a Christmas recess
beginning on the evening of the twenty-first of December and
continuing about ten days.
Attendance is required of each student throughout the en-
tire session, with the exception of the days above indicated, un-
less 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 regularly all lectures and other prescribed
exercises and all examiinations in the courses which he pursues,
(unless excused for cause), and in every way to conform to the
regulations of the College.
Absence from the College is permitted only upon the writ-
ten leave of the President, obtained in every case in advance.
But leaves of absence for purposes of accompanying the athletic
teams, debating teams and all other recognized clubs will not be
granted except to officers and members of the organization.
Absence of athletic teams and other student organizations
is provided for by faculty regulations.
Absence from classes is not excused except for prolonged
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 physician's certifi-
cate, or other cause which the faculty by special order may
approve. An unexcused absence or presentation of an unpledged
REGULATIONS 55
paper is counted as a total failure in the examination in which
it occurs. A student whose absence from examination is ex-
cused is admdtted 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 the 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.
Cass standing in any course is determined by the regularity
of attendance of the student upon the lectures (and laboratory
or other similar exercises where included) in the course in ques-
tion and by the faithful performance of his work as indicated
by the 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 cent.
Re-examination.
A student who attains in any course an examination grade
for the term below 60 per cent., but not below 50 per cent., is
admitted by the faculty to a special examination at a timie set
by the faculty.
Withdrawals.
Voluntary withdrawals from the College require the written
consent of the faculty or President.
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 deco-
rous, sober and upright conduct as long as he remains a member
56 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
of the College, whether he be within the precincts or not. They
require from the student regular and diligent application to his
studies, regular attendance upon chapel and Sunday services
at one of the churches.
Drunkenness, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly for-
bidden, and any student found guilty of them is punished 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.

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 prin-
cipal subject chosen — known as the major course — will be ex-
pected to employ one-half the applicant's time; each of the
minor courses one-quarter of his time. It is expected that the
applicant for the Master's Degree, after receiving a Bachelor's
Degree, will spend at least one year at Millsaps College en-
gaged in graduate study. Attention is directed to the schedule
of degrees following and to the statement in connection with
the amount of work done in each department.
The candidate for the Master of Arts Degree must offer as
a prerequisite an A.B. Degree, or B.S. Degree, including two
college years 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 offer a
B.S. Degree from Millsaps College or some other accredited
college.
A full outline of the requirements for the degrees of Bache-
lor of Arts and Bachelor of Science is given below.
Sixty-four session hours are required for graduation both
for the A.B. and the B.S. degrees. Specific courses are pre-
scribed in the Freshman and the Sophomore classes, and courses
are partially prescribed in the Junior and the Senior classes,
electives to the amount of 14 hours being offered in the Junior
and Senior years.
The normal course is 16 hours for each year. Not fewer
than 12 hours nor more than 19 hours may be taken in a year,
unless by express permission of the President and Faculty.

PROFESSOR KEY.
♦ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR .
MR. WHITE.
MISS CLONTZ.
It is believed that the mastery of these highly inflected
languages will effect the purposes aimed at in education in the
following ways:
(a) Constant drill in the processes of correlation, comparison,
discrimination and classification of the phenomena of
language, required both in the study of inflection and syn-
tax and in translation, affords a most rigorous exercise in
correct scientific method and produces habits and reflexes
of accuracy, efficiency and system.
(b) A first-hand acquaintance with the language and modes of
expression of the ancients and with the evolution of literary
forms lays open a field of knowledge that is essential to a
full understanding of modern life and literature.
(c) Intimate contact with the very words which express the
best ideals and aspirations of those great spirits whose
influence has been most abiding and formative in our world
should shape the character to fine and worthy purposes.
*To be chosen in May.
DEPARTMENT OF ANCIENT LANGUAGE 71
LATIN.
Courses A and B. The college provides, without additional
expense to the student, competent instructors in Caesar
and Cicero for the benefit of those who need to make up
entrance credits in these subjects.
I. Vergil's Aeneid; Livy, selections from Books I, XXI and
XXII. Prose Composition. Thorough drill in grammar.
Exercises in reading and translation at sight. The aim
during this year is to gain such mastery of grammar,
vocabulary and the Latin thought order that rapid reading
without slavish dependence on a lexicon may be both pos-
sible and enjoyable. Sight translation will be given on
tests and examinations.
II. Horace, Selected Odes and Epodes; The Elegiac Poets;
Plays of Plautus or Terence. Mackail's Latin Literature.
In this year some appreciation of the text as literature is
expected. The chief meters are studied and the reading of
the text aloud is practiced.
III. Juvenal, Satires; Horace, Satires and Epistles; Pliny's
Letters; Cicero's Letters; Martial's Epigrams. Private
Life of the Romans. The aim of this course is to get at
first hand an understanding of Roman society and organiza-
tion of life.
IV. Lucretius, De Rerum Natura; the Sixth Aeneid, Cicero's
Tusculan Disputations and the Dream of Scipio and De
Senectute, with selected reading from the poets that re-
flect the common religious and philosophical beliefs of the
Romans.
*V. A course in methods of teaching Caesar, Cicero and Ver-
gil. Especially designed for teachers and prospective
teachers in high schools. This course is offered as a
Senior elective; as such it may be counted toward the
satisfaction of the requirements for teachers' license.
Courses III and IV will be offered in alternate years and
either of these may be taken as a Senior elective.

MR. WHITE.
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 labora-
tory opens conveniently into a small fuming room outside of the
building, so that vapors may not pass from one to another, and
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY 73
is also connected with the storeroom. Gas, water, experiment
tables, hoods, and pneumatic troughs are to be found in con-
venient places. There is a cellar for gas and electric genera-
tors, and for assay and other furnaces. A large lecture room
on the second floor is supplied with modern equipment for gen-
eral use in science work.
The course in this department consists of three years of
Chemistry, one year being required of candidates for all degrees,
while B.S. students are required in addition to take a second
year. The subjects are taught by recitations and lectures and
work which each student must perform in the laboratory. It
is intended that the laboratories be kept well equipped with
apparatus necessary to the correct appreciation of the science.
Each student has his own desk and apparatus, and is closely
supervised, so that he may not only gain a true idea of the
substance under inspection, but also cultivate a hand careful
to the smallest detail, and eye observant of the slightest pbe-
nomenon, and habits of neatness, skill, and economy. Each
student will be expected to keep accurate notes.
Entrance credit for at least one unit in Natural Science is
required for admission to this department.
I. (a) Inorganic Chemistry.
This course is designed to give the student a thorough work-
ing knowledge of general chemistry, including a careful
study of fundamental laws of chemistry, the occurrence,
properties and preparations of the comm«5n elements and
their compounds, and a course of chemical calculations.
The year's work will be closed with an introductory study
of organic chemistry. This course is a prescribed study of
the Sophomore Class for all degrees, and is a prerequisite
to either of the other courses in chemistry.
Lectures and recitations, three hours. (Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday.)
Text-Book — General Chemistry (Henderson and McPherson).

is given an opportunity to visit certain industrial estab-
lishments, as sulphuric acid plants, phosphate works, and
gas works, and water filtration plant. Laboratory exer-
cises, two hours. (Thursday afternoon.)
Text-Book — Laboratory Exercises.
II. (a) Organic Chemistry.
The purpose of this course is to furnish a somewhat com-
prehensive knowledge of organic chemistry, the instruc-
tion being given chiefly by lectures illustrated by experi-
ments. Some attention is given to physiological chemis-
try. Students will be expected to consult various works
of reference. This course is required of applicants for
the B.S. degree, and is a prescribed study in the Junior
year. This course, in connection with II (b), will appeal
specially to preliminary dental and medical students.

latter is yearly increased by donations from friends of the Col-
lege, and a collection made by the Senior Class.
GEOLOGY.
PROFESSOR SULLIVAN.
1. (a) Mineralogy and Lithologic Geology.
This includes a study of mineral species, crystalline forms.
Chemical composition, occurrence and uses, with a de
scription of the kind and arrangement of rock masses
First term (first half).
82 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
(b) Physiographic and Dynamic Geology.
This portion of the course embraces the study of physiogra-
phic features and processes, the mechanical and chemical
effects of the atnaiosphere, water, heat, and of life. Spe-
cial attention will be given to some phase of the subject,
as the work of glaciers, of volcanoes. First term (second
half).
II. Historical Geology.
In addition to general historical geology, some attention will
be given to economic products and to paleontology. Sec-
ond term.
Course I is a prescribed study in the Senior year for the
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 Jackson, give the
class a practical conception of this kind of surveying. The
College is fortunate in being located 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 dis-
tant parts. In the last month of the year Hilgard's Geology of
Mississippi and annual reports to the Smithsonian Institution
and of the United States Geological Survey, are used with the
class.
Lectures and recitations, two hours. (Tuesday and Thurs-
day).
Text-Books — College Geology (Channberlain and Salisbury), Con-
servation of Our Natural Resources ("Van Hise).
Reference Books — Manual of Geology (Dana) ; Text-book of

HISTORY.
PROFESSOR LIN.
In the courses in history two things will be kept in view.
Students will be required to acquaint themselves with the sig-
nificant facts in the development of the nations studied, and
to learn why these facts are considered significant. As far as
possible, the causal connection between historical events will
be indicated, emphasis being laid on the idea that history is
a record of the continuous development of the human race,
whose growing self-consciousness manifests itself in the pro-
gressive organization of its moral and intellectual ideals into
laws and customs.
In order to understand each people or nation studied, ac-
count will be taken of its literature, its religious and social in-

stitutions, its economic conditions, and the organization of its
government.
Entrance credit for the two units in history will be re-
quired for entrance to this department. One of these must be
in Ancient History, listed as "History A" in the "Entrance Re-
quirements" printed in this Register.
r.
Three hours a week. Required of all A.B. Sophomores
and B.S. Juniors.
In this course the connection between the ancient world
and the middle ages will be traced. Also an attempt will be
made to show the origin of modern ideas in mediaeval times,
and to gain a comprehensive view of the beginnings of modern
European states. The supplementary reading is designed to
complete the transition to modern society.

Three hours a week. Elective for all Juniors.
In this course especial stress will be laid on Modern His-
tory and present-day problems. An attempt will be made to
show how the problems and ideals of modern nations grew out
of their past history, and how they are affected by international
relations. This will be done as a preparation for the study of
the governmental institutions of our own and other countries,
and as the basis of a correct understanding of the questions
now engaging civilized nations.
Text-Book — Political and Social History of Modern Europe

The regular work in French begins with Course I, but for the
benefit of those who have not been able to fulfill the entrance
requirements in this subject before entering college, a prepara-
DEPARTMENT OF ROMANCE LANGUAGES 91
tory course (Course A) is offered. This course, when taken
under the supervision of the college and not counted as an
entrance unit, may be used as a two hour Junior or Senior
elective. Classes meet three hours a week unless otherwise
stated. For entrance Course I will count as two units, provided
the student makes a grade of not less than 80.
For graduation six hours of college work in French or Ger-
man are accepted as a substitute for Greek in the A.B. course.
In the B.S. course six hours of French, Spanish, or German are
required, and six additional hours may be substituted for Latin,
classes in these three languages being interchangeable, hour for
hour. A student should, however, consult the professors in
charge before planning his course, so as to include more than
two modern languages. Any course, not already counted, may
be used as a Junior or Senior elective.
The schedule has been so arranged that students who plan
to take French should begin that study in their Freshman year
in order to avoid conflicts in their later course.
FRENCH.
PROFESSOR BURTON.
Course A.
A beginner's course, covering Part I of Eraser and Squair,
French Grammar, along with the reading of simple texts. Spe-
cial attention will be paid to the acquirement of an accurate
pronunciation and to the training of the ear by the taking of
simple French from dictation. The classroonu activities and wall
pictures are used as a basis for conversation. Sight reading is
stressed in the latter part of the year. The class will be taught
in sections so that the student may receive more individual at-
tention.
Course I.
The methods of Course A will be continued according to the-
needs and aptitudes of the class. Part II of Eraser and Squair,
French Grammar will be completed, with further drill on the
irregular verbs and with weekly prose compositions. The
92 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
greater portion of the time will be devoted to the careful read-
ing of texts from nineteenth century prose fiction and drama.
Course II.
Extensive reading in class and in parallel assignments, with
special stress laid on the literary side of the works. The first
term will be devoted to the seventeenth century in order to give
the student some first-hand knowledge of the Golden Age of
French Literature. The plays of Corneille, Moliere, and Racine
will be read along with selections from the most important of
the prose writers. Special emphasis will be laid on the social
and political setting and on the literary ideals of the age.
The second term will be devoted to the study of the novel
and short story of the Realistic and Naturalistic schools of the
nineteenth century.
Strachey's Landmarks in French Literature supplemented
by lectures, and by assignments from Lanson's Histoire de la
Litterature Francaise will serve to give the student a general
idea of the development of French literature.
Course III.
French Romanticism. Henning's Representative Lyrics of
the Nineteenth Century will be used as a basis of the course.
In addition will be read prose or dramatic works of Chateau-
briand, Lamartine, Hugo, Musset, and Gautier. Two hours.

tion.
XII. THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES.
PROFESSOR NOBLE.
PROFESSOR LIN.
The aim of this department will be rather to do well a small
amiount of work than to cover a large field. Courses in Eco-
nomics, Political Science, and Sociology will be offered. While
these are elementary in their scope and nature, they will serve
as a sound basis for further study in these subjects, and will
be useful to those who seek to understand and improve our
financial, political, and social life and institutions.
1. Economics.
A comprehensive survey of the field is undertaken, dwelling
particularly upon the laws governing the production and con-
sumption of wealth, business organization, wages and labor, rent,
interest, etc. Recitations, readings, and discussions. Two hours,
both terms,
2. Sociology.
The fundamentals of this science will receive due attention
during the first term. During the second term, attention will
be concentrated upon the social problems which confront the
Southern people in particular. A statistical investigation of
94 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
social conditions in a Mississippi community will constitute a
part of the course. Readings, discussions, and lectures. Two
hours, both terms.
3. Political Science.
During the First Term the origin of modern government in
Europe and America will be considered historically. In the
Second Term a brief course on International Law will be given.
Text-Books — The State (Wilson). Outlines of International
.Law (Stockton).
XIII. THE DEPARTMENT OF COLLEGE EXTENSION.
PROFESSOR KEY,
PROFESSOR NOBLE,
PROFESSOR HARRELL,
Committee of the Faculty.
Millsaps College wishes to widen the range of its service to
the people of Mississippi. We believe that the College should
not be content to restrict its advantages to those who have the
means to come to Millsaps, but that it should extend these ad-
vantages to the homes of the people in all parts of the State,
We wish to employ every means within our power to dissem-
inate culture and to popularize learning. To this end we earnest-
ly solicit the co-operation of all who have at heart the broaden-
ing influence of the College.
The work was begun this year with limited facilities, but
several lines of activity are now being pursued, and it is hoped,
in the course of time, not only to develop along these lines, but
to increase the number of lines of activity. The work of the
Extension Department during the past year may be summarized
as follows:
I. We have co-operated with one hundred high schools (1)
by providing a list of questions for debate with references and
information, (2) by encouraging the organization of literary so-
cieties in the high schools, (3) by arranging for a series of high
school debates to be held in the College auditorium.
DEPARTMENT OF COLLEGE EXTENSION 95
n. We have co-operated with a numiber of communities
by providing public lectures by our faculty members under the
auspices of schools, clubs, and churches.
in. The Department of Education has conducted a special
course in Methods of Teaching for the benefit of Jackson teach-
ers. Forty-two teachers were enrolled in this course.
The Department will welcome suggestions for the enlarge-
ment of its service to the people of the State. We can furnish
lecturers for school commencements, anniversary occasions, etc.
We can furnish expert advice along scientific and literary lines,
and along the line of school organization. We can provide
teachers for the public schools, and athletic umpires and referees.
We will with pleasure give prompt attention to all such requests
that comie to us. Address,

THE LAW SCHOOL.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
In the original foundation of Millsaps College It was de-
signed by its promoters to establish, in due season, and when
the success of the Literary Department should be assured, a
Department of Professional Education, embodying a Law and
a Theological School.
In the year 1896, the time came, when, in the judgment of
the trustees, it was possible and proper to establish the Law
Department. Accordingly, they directed that at the beginning
of the next session, the doors of the institution should be opened
for the students of Law, and Professor Edward Mayes was en-
gaged to take the active control and instruction of that class.
Our Law School was not, even then, in any sense an ex-
periment. Before the step was determined on, a respectable
class was already secured for the first session. Doctor Mayes
came to us with fourteen years' experience as law professor
in the State University, and with a reputation for ability and
skill as an instructor which was thoroughly established. He
had already secured the assistance of a number of most ac-
complished lawyers, who promised to deliver occasional 'ectures,
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 themslves to the
Hon. H. C. Conn, ChancUor, 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 answers were, as the law directs, forwarded by the Chan-
cellor to the Supreme Judges. Every applicant passed the or-
deal successfully and received his license. We are now closing
the nineteenth annual session of our Law School, and no student
has failed in any year to pass the examination and receive his
100 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
license. We point with pride to the results. We now have two
hundred and ninety-one graduates.
The nature of the examination passed, being held by the
Chancellor in his ofiicial character, puts beyond question or
cavil the genuineness of that result. We do not ask our patrons,
or those who contemplate becoming our patrons, to accept any
statement of our own. The finding and the statement are those
of the Judicial Departmient of the State; and every law graduate
of Millsaps College stands before the world endorsed, 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 lawyer 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 managers
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, em-
bracing 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 litigation from the lower
tribunal to the highest, and observe 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 wit-
ness 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
THE LAW SCHOOL 101
class must be at least twenty. Students may enter the Junior
class without any preliminary examination, a good English ele-
mentary education being all that is required. Students may
enter the Senior class upon satisfactory examination on the
matter of the Junior course or its equivalent. No student will
be graduated on less than five months of actual attendance in
the school.
Each student will be required to present satisfactory cer-
tificate of good moral character.
Each student will be required to pay a tuition fee upon en-
trance of sixty dollars, for the session's instruction. No rebate
of this fee will be made, because a student may desire to at-
tend for a period of 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 examination of
the students on lessons assigned in standard text-books. Formal
written lectures will not be read. The law is too abstruse to be
learned in that way. The professor will accompany the ex-
amdnation by running comments upon the text, illustrating and
explaining it, and showing how the law as therein stood has
been modified or reversed by recent adjudications and legis-
lation.
The course will be carefully planned and conducted so as
to meet the requirements of the Mississippi law in respect to
the admission of applicants to practice law, by examination be-
fore the Chancery Court, and will, therefore, 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 Pleading 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 Constitution of the United States.
The objects set for accomplishment by this school are two:
102 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
First, to prepare young men for examination for license to
practice law, in such manner as both to ground them thoroughly
in elementary legal principles and also to prepare thenu for
examination for license with assurance of success.
Secondly, to equip them for actual practice by a higher
range of legal scholarship than what is merely needed for a
successful examination for license. Therefore, our course of
study is so arranged as fully to meet both of these ends.
The curriculum of the Junior Class will embrace 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 though 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 success.
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 ad-
vancement 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 Bache-
lor 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 speaking, a post-
graduate course, since it must be taken before graduation, but
it is a post-licentiate course, and the degree conferred at its
conclusion represents that much legal accomplishment in excess
of the learning needed for license to practice.
THE LAW SCHOOL 103
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 re-
organized in 1911 into a separate school independent of the Col-
lege in course of study, discipline and general management.
The home of the Millsaps Preparatory School is Founder's Hall,
a large three-story brick building, containing the assembly hall,
class rooms, the dining hall and about fifty dormdtory rooms.
The building is steam heated and equipped with electric lights,
water-works and all modern conveniences.
104 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
Discipline.
Regulations suited to the needs of youthful students are
enforced. Gentlemanly conduct is insisted upon. Students are
forbidden to go to town at night, except when absolutely neces-
sary. 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 the regular four-year high
school. "Thoroughness" is the watchword. As far as possible,
individual attention is given to backward and delinquent stu-
dents. 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.
