16  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

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

for  the  purpose  contemplated  by  this  Act,  and  no  longer. 

S'ec.  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  made  to  the  said  Conferences  from  year

in 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: 

"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." 


HISTORY  17 

In  accordance  with  this  action,  the  President  of  the  Con- 
ference, Bishop  R.  K.  Hargrove,  appointed  the  following  commit- 
tee: Rev.  T.  L.  Mullen,  Rev.  W.  C.  Black,  Rev.  A.  P.  Watkins, 
Major  R.  W.  Millsaps,  Col.  W.  L.  Nugent,  and  Dr.  Luther  Sexton. 

On  December  12,  1888,  the  North  Mississippi  Conference 
met  at  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  min- 
isters   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- 
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  time  to  time.  The  re- 
port submitted  to  the  Conferences  by  the  committee  in  Decem- 
ber, 1889,  refers  to  the  movement  in  the  following  language: 


18  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

"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  enthu- 
siasm in  our  State  or  evoked  such  libered  offerings  to 
the  Lord.  The  fact  has  been  demonstrated  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  respect- 
ive 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  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,  1893,  he  reported 
that  the  full  amount  had  been  collected  to  meet  the  terms  of 
Major  Millsaps'  proposition,  and  thereupon  $25,000  was  imme- 
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 


HISTORY  19 

great  enterprise  so  happily  and  successfully  inaugurat- 
ed, the  Church  and  State  owe  him  a  large  debt  of  grati- 
tude." 

The  Conference  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: 

BI&HOP  CHARLES  B.  GALLOWAY,  President. 

REV.  W.  W.  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.  MILLSAFS 

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 
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  immedi- 
ately procured,  grounds  were  purchased,  and  in  a  comparatively 
short  time  buildings  were  in  process  of  erection, 

MILLSAPS  COLLEGE. 

The  College  opened  its  doors  for  the  reception  of  students 
in  1892  with  Rev.  W.  B.  Murrah  as  President,  and  three  pro- 
fessors in  the  College.  A  Preparatory  School  was  opened  at 
the  same  time  with  one  Master.  From  time  to  time  its  facili- 
ties have  been  enlarged  and  additional  departments  created, 
until  it  now  has,  in  addition  to  its  President,  nine  professors  in 
as  many  departments,  and  the  Preparatory  School,  now  called 
the  Academy  and  separated  from  the  College,  has  grown  to  four 
Masters. 


2a  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

The  Presidents  of  the  College  have  been  Rev.  W.  B.  Hur- 
rah, now  Bishop  Hurrah  (1892-1910),  Professor  D.  B.  Hull  (1910- 
1912),  and  Rev.  A.  F.  Watkins,  D.D.,    (1912-        .) 

The  unusual  facilities  for  conducting  a  Law  School  in  Jack- 
son led  to  the  establishment  in  1896,  of  a  Law  School.  Hon. 
Edward  Hayes,  ex-Chancellor  of  the  University  of  Hississippi, 
and  for  more  than  fourteen  years  a  professor  of  law  in  that 
institution,  took  active  control  of  the  new  school. 

In  1911  the  Academy  was  formally  separated  from  the  Col- 
lege. It  is  now  a  distinct  institution  with  the  official  title  of  the 
Hillsaps  Academy.  It  has  a  separate  campus,  buldings  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  Hajor  Hillsaps,  who  gave  Webster  Science 
Hall.  In  1901  Hr.  Dan  A.  James,  of  Yazoo  City,  built  an 
observatory  for  the  College,  in  memory  of  his  father,  Hr. 
Peter  James,  and  of  his  brother,  Hr.  Samuel  James,  and  fur- 
nished it  with  a  fine  telescope.  Hillsaps  College  can  thus  offer 
unusual  advantages  in  Astronomy.  In  1902,  to  supply  the  in- 
creasing demand  for  better  dormitory  and  dining  hall  facilities, 
Hajor  Hillsaps  gave  the  College  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  Hajor  Hillsaps  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  High  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  Hississippi  Con- 
ference was  made  financial  agent  of  the  College  to  collect  this 
sum.  In  1910  $32,279.10  had  been  collected  for  this  purpose. 
Hr.  I.  C.  Enochs,  a  generous  citizen  of  Jackson,  gave  an  ad- 
ditional $5,000.  Hajor  Hillsaps,  with  characteristic  generosity, 
contributed  the  remaining  $37,720.90.  Thus  the  endowment  of 
the  College  was  increased  by  $100,000. 


HISTORY  21 

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  of  the  College. 

The  dormitory  of  the  Prepatory  School  was  destroyed  by 
fire  in  1913,  but  it  was  promptly  rebuilt  and  made  more  valu- 
able by  alterations  which  also  improved  greatly  the  appearance 
of  the  structure.  A  more  disastrous  fire  destroyed  the  main 
building  in  1914.  But  within  a  few  months  the  old  structure  had 
been  replaced  by  a  far  more  commodious  and  imposing  admin- 
istration 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 $475,678 

Unproductive  Endowment 43,000 

Buildings  and  grounds 283,942 

Value  of  library 15,000 

Value  of  Chemical,  Physical  and  Biologi- 
cal apparatus 7,500 

Furniture  and   Fixtures 10,000 

Total $835,120 

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."     • 


22  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

With  a  productive  endowment  of  nearly  $500,000  and  build- 
ings and  grounds  worth  $280,000,  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  As- 
sociation of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools  of  the  Southern 
States,  a  distinction  enjoyed  by  only  one  other  institution  in  this 
State.  An  impartial  committee  of  the  Association  made  exhaus- 
tive inquiry  into  the  financial  resources  of  the  institution,  its 
course,  the  training  of  its  instructors,  and  the  character  of  its 
work,  and  unanimously  recommended  it  for  membership.  This 
inquiry  extended  over  a  yar,  and  no  conditions  whatever  were  im- 
posed for  the  election  of  the  College,  since  it  had  been  of  the 
first  rank  for  some  years.  Its  degrees  are  rocognized  by  all 
institutions  of  learning  as  among  the  best  in  the  land.

ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS  27 

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  G.     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  grammatical  accur- 
acy should  be  rigorously  exacted  in  connection  with  all  written 
work  during  the  four  years.  The  principles  of  English  Compo- 
sition governing  punctuation,  the  use  of  words,  sentences,  and 
paragraphs  should  be  thoroughly  mastered;  and  practice  in 
composition,  oral  as  well  as  written,  should  extend  throughout 
the  secondary-school  period.  Written  exercises  may  well  com- 
prise 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  knowl- 
edge, and  studies  other  than  English,  as  well  as  from  his  read- 
ing in  Literature.  Finally,  special  instruction  in  language  and 
composition  should  be  accompanied  by  concerted  effort  of  teach- 
ers 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  0.    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  memory  some  of 
the  more  notable  passages  both  in  verse  and  in  prose.  As  an 
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. 


28  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

(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  book  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. 

(b)  Study. 

This  part  of  the  requirement  is  intended  as  a  natural  and  logical 
continuation  of  the  student's  earlier  reading,  with  greater 
stress  laid  upon  form  and  style,  the  exact  meaning  of  words 
and  phrases,  and  the  understanding  of  allusions.  The  books 
provided  for  study  are  arranged  in  four  groups,  from  each 
of  which  one  selection  is  to  be  made.

Examinations. 

However  accurate  in  subject  matter,  no  paper  will  be  con- 
sidered satisfactory  if  seriously  defective  in  punctuation,  spell- 
ing, or  other  essentials  of  good  usage, 

Tbe  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  from  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. 

The  examination  in  Literature  will  include:  A,  General 
questions  designed  to  test  such  a  knowledge  and  appreciation 
of  Literature  as  may  be  gained  by  fulfilling  the  requirements 
defined  under  (a)  Reading,  above.  The  candidate  will  be  re- 
quired to  submit  a  list  of  books  read  in  preparation  for  the 
examination,  certified  by  the  principal  of  the  school  in  which 
he  was  prepared;  but  this  list  will  not  be  made  the  basis  of 
detailed  questions.  B,  A  test  on  the  books  prescribed  for  study, 
which  will  consist  of  questions  upon  their  content,  form  and 
structure  and  upon  the  meaning  of  such  words,  phrases  and 
allusions  as  may  be  necessary  to  an  understanding  of  the  works 
and  an  appreciation  of  their  salient  qualities  of  style.  General 
questions  may  also  be  asked  concerning  the  lives  of  authors, 
their  other  works,  and  the  periods  of  literary  history  to  which 
they  belong.

ANNOUNCEMENTS  41 

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  numbers  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  S'tate.  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  $518,000,  of  which  $476,- 
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  astronomy.  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  of 
1916  donated  a  fine  photographic  lens  to  the  observatory,  which 
adds  materially  to  its  equipment. 


42  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

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  sixty  periodicals  were  received  in  the 
reading  room  and  three  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.  Dr.  J.  M.  Burton, 
late  Professor  of  Romance  Languages,  who  died  in  France  in 
the  service  of  his  country  on  October  5,  1918,  generously  left 
to  the  College  his  entire  Romance  library.  This  has  been  ap- 
propriately labeled  and  shelved,  and  constitutes  a  valuable  addi- 
tion to  the  books  on  the  Romance  languages.  The  Martha  A. 
Turner  Fund,  founded  by  Mrs.  J.  R.  Bingham,  of  Carrollton, 
Mississippi,  is  used  for  the  purchase  of  books  in  English  litera- 
ture. 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  Bible  and 
to  engage  in  singing  and  prayer.  Students  must  attend  religious 
worship  at  least  once  on  Sunday  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 


ANNOUNCEMENTS  43 

Association.  Its  policy  and  aim  is  to  develop  the  three-fold 
nature  of  the  students — the  moral,  intellectual,  and  spiritual.  It 
is  a  well  known  fact  that  a  student  who  develops  himself  intel- 
lectually, but  neglects  his  spiritual  nature,  is  in  no  sense  a 
complete  man.  Unlss  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  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  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  this  year  were  conducted  by 
Rev.  R.  H.  Harper,  of  New  Orleans,  and  resulted  in  renewing 
ing  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. 

The  work  of  the  Association  is  carried  on  by  the  students; 
each  man  has  his  part  to  do  according  to  the  plan  of  organiza- 


44  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

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  Committee  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  Committee  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  formed  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  will  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 
students  under  constitutions  and  by-lav/s  of  their  own  framing. 
They  are  named,  respectively,  the  Galloway  and  the  Lamar 
societies,  and  contribute  greatly  to  the  improvement  of  their 
members. 


ANNOUNCEMENTS  45 

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  two  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  rooms  are 
sufficiently  large  to  accommodate  two  students  each.  The  room 
rental  per  student  in  the  cottages  is  $10.00  for  the  session  and 
must  be  paid  as  follows:  $5.00  on  entrance,  and  $5.00  on  Feb- 
ruary 1st.  The  coal  bill  a  year  per  student  is  not  more  than 
$7.00,  when  two  students  live  in  one  room.  The  boys  in  these 
cottages  may  take  their  meals  in  the  college  dormitory,  or,  if 
they  prefer,  may  organize  a  cooperative  club.  Lights  amount  to 
very  little.  Students  living  in  the  cottages  furnish  their  rooms. 
Furniture  for  one  room  need  not  cost  more  than  $15.00.  Students 
wishing  to  engage  a  room  in  one  of  the  cottages  should  write 
Dr.  J.  M.  Sullivan,  Treasurer,  at  the  College. 

2.  In  the  new  dormitory  the  expense  is  $24.00  per  month, 
including  room,  lights,  steam  heat,  board,  matron's  services,  and 
hospital  facilities.  Students  may  room  in  the  cottages  and  take 
their  meals  at  the  college  dormitory.  There  are  Christian  homes 
where  students  may  get  rooms  without  board.  In  such  cases 
the  students  may  get  meals  at  the  college  dormitory  or  at  pri- 
vate homes. 

THE  NEW  DORMITORIES. 
Two  of  the  new  dormitories  have  been  completed,  as  shown 
by  the  cut  next  after  the  front  cover  of  this  Register.  Thus 
provision  is  made  for  the  accommodation  of  students  in  build- 
ings entirely  new,  and  provided  with  every  convenience.  The 
buildings  are  steam-heated,  and  are  provided  with  shower  baths 
on  every  floor.  Every  room  is  an  outside  room,  and  is  well 
lighted. 


46  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

The  great  dining  room  is  unusually  fine,  and  is  separated 
from  the  large  kitchens  by  a  commodious  serving  room.  A 
feature  which  will  be  greatly  appreciated  by  the  students  is  a 
large  common  room  where  the  boys  may  gather  for  a  social 
hour. 

Millsaps  now  is  able  to  offer  dormitories  equal  in  all  their 
appointments  to  the  best  to  be  found  in  any  institution  in  this 
section.  The  work  on  a  third  dormitory  will  be  pushed  to  com- 
pletion as  soon  as  possible. 

Two  students  will  be  expected  to  occupy  a  room.  The 
charge  per  month  for  each  student  will  be  $4.00  or  $5.00,  accord- 
ing to  the  location  of  the  room. 

Early  reservation  should  be  made  if  a  student  wishes  to  be 
assured  of  a  room.  A  deposit  of  $5.00  must  accompany  a  re- 
quest for  a  reservation.  In  the  back  of  this  Register  is  a  slip 
which  should  be  filled  out  and  mailed  as  indicated. 

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  and  the  J.  H.  Brooks  Cottage. 

ATHLETICS. 

Millsaps  College  is  a  member  of  the  Southern  Inter-Collegi- 
ate Athletic  Association,  and  takes  part  in  all  intercollegiate 
games.  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. 

The  Athletic  Director  has  supervision  of  all  intercollegiate 
teams  and  conducts  mass  games  and  interclass  leagues  that 
enlist  a  large  percentage  of  the  students  in  some  form  of  active 
participation  in  athletics.  For  those  who  report  regularly  two 
hours  a  week  for  exercise,  under  the  instruction  of  the  Athletic 
Director,  a  scholastic  credit  of  one  session-hour  is  granted. 


ANNOUNCEMENTS  47 

MATRICULATION. 

Courses  of  study  are  offered  in  two  schools,  the  College 
and  the  School  of  Graduate  Studies.  The  various  departments 
are  under  the  direction  of  professors  who  are  responsible  for  the 
systems  and  methods  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  six  weeks  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. 

HONOR   SYSTEM. 

Not  the  least  of  the  educational  influences  of  the  College 
is  the  honor  system.  According  to  this  system  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  students  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  ex- 
amination tests,  but  all  relations  between  student  and  professor.

REGISTRATION  OF  NEW  STUDENTS. 

Applicants  seeking  admission  to  tlie  College  for  the  first 
time  should  present  themselves  to  the  Registrar  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  some  person  of  tcnown  standing.  'Each  candidate  who 
satisfies  these  requirements  and  those  for  admission  by  cer- 
tificate or  examination,  previously  stated,  will  be  furnished  with 
a  card  containing  the  courses  which  he  proposes  to  pursue  dur- 
ing the  session.  The  card  must  then  be  carried  to  the  Treas- 
urer, who  will,  after  the  College  fees  have  been  paid  to  him, 
sign  the  card.  On  payment  of  these  fees  the  applicant  will  be 
admitted  to  his  classes. 

No  student  will  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  members 
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. 

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. 


REGULATIONS.  49 

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  examinations  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  any  classes  is  not  excused  except  for  pro- 
longed sickness  or  like  providential  cause,  and  then  only  by 
Faculty  action. 

Absence  from  examinations  will  not  be  excused  except  for 
sickness  on  day  of  examination,  attested  by  a  physician's  cer- 
tificate, or  other  cause  which  the  Faculty  by  special  order  may 
approve.  An  unexcused  absence  or  presentation  of  an  un- 
pledged 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  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 


50  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

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  included)  in  the  course  in 
question,  and  by  the  faithful  performance  of  his  work  as  indi- 
cated 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 
examinations.  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  not  below  50  per  cent,  and  whose  average  is  below 
70  per  cent,  is  admitted  by  the  Faculty  to  a  special  examination 
at  a  time  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 
of  the  College,  whether  he  be  within  the  precincts  or  not.  They 
require  from  the  student  regular  and  diligent  application  to  his 
studies,  and  regular  attendance  upon  chapel  and  Sunday  ser- 
vices 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. 


REGULATIONS.  51 

Firearms. 

The  keeping  of  firearms  by  the  students  is  strictly  forbid- 


den.

istry may  receive  tuition  free  in  the  academic  department,  but 
are  expected  to  pay  all  other  fees.  Any  student,  wishing  ex- 
emption from  the  payment  of  the  tuition  fee  upon  this  ground, 
will  be  required  to  present  a  certificate  from  the  Quarterly  Con- 
ference or  some  other  ecclesiastical  body  showing  that  he  is

DEGREE  COURSES  59 

The  Academic  Schools  comprise  the  Departments  of  Lan- 
guages, Mathematics,  Science,  History,  Social  Science,  Litera- 
ture, Philosophy,  Education  and  Biblical  Instruction.  In  the 
undergraduate  courses  of  these  departments  is  comprised  the 
work  of  the  College  with  the  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  and 
Bachelor  of  Science;  in  the  graduate  courses  is  comprised  the 
work  of  Graduate  Studies,  with  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts 
and  Master  of  Science. 

B.A.    Degree. 

The  Bachelor  of  Arts  Course  offers  special  instruction  in 
the  departments  of  Latin  and  Greek.  This  course  presupposes 
two  years  of  preparatory  work  in  Greek  or  Modern  Languages 
and  three  in  Latin.  In  order  to  be  allowed  to  enter  upon  the 
B.A.  Course,  the  applicant  must  stand  an  approved  examination 
in  English,  History,  Science,  Mathematics,  Latin  and  Greek,  or 
Modern  Languages. 

B.S.   Degree, 

The  Bachelor  of  Science  Course  offers  special  work  in 
Chemistry,  Physics  and  Mathematics.  Instead  of  Greek  and 
partly  of  Latin,  French,  Spanish,  and  German  are  studied.  In 
order  to  be  allowed  to  enter  upon  the  B.S.  Course,  the  appli- 
cant must  stand  an  approved  examination  in  English,  History, 
Science,  Mathematics,  Latin  and  Modern  Languages. 

M.A.   and    M.S.    Degrees. 

The  degrees  of  M.A.  and  M.S.  may  be  conferred  upon 
graduates  who  hold  the  B.A.  or  B.S.  degree  from  Millsaps  Col- 
lege, or  from  some  other  institution  of  equal  rank.  For  the 
attainment  of  either  degree  one  year  of  residence  at  Millsaps 
College  is  required  after  the  attainment  of  the  Bachelor's  de- 
gree, and  also  satisfactory  completion  of  advanced  work  to  the 
amount  of  fifteen  hours.  This  work  must  be  taken  in  not  more 
than  three  different  subjects;  a  major  subject,  in  which  a  min- 
imum of  six  hours  credit  must  be  earned;  and  one  or  two  minor 
subjects  to  the  amount  of  six  hours  credit. 

All  the  work  of  the  major  subject  must  be  of  an  advanced 
character,    to    which    undergraduates    are    not    admitted.      The 


60  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

minor  subject  or  subjects  may  be  pursued  in  senior  college 
courses.  No  grade  less  than  80%  shall  be  credited  towards 
the  requirements  for  the  Master's  degree  in  any  subject.  In 
addition  to  the  twelve  hours  required  as  above  stated,  a  thesis 
dealing  with  some  phase  of  the  major  subject  must  be  sub- 
mitted by  the  candidate  six  weeks  before  his  graduation,  and 
approved  by  a  committee  of  the  Faculty.  In  time  requirements 
this  shall  be  considered  equivalent  to  three  hours  of  work. 

A  full  outline  of  the  required  and  the  elective  studies  of- 
fered for  the  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Sci- 
ence is  given  in  the  pages  following  this  announcement. 

Sixty-four  year-hours  are  required  for  graduations  both  for 
the  B.A.  and  B.S'.  degrees.  Specific  courses  are  prescribed  in 
the  Freshman  and  the  Sophomore  classes,  including  alternative 
courses  offered  in  ancient  and  modern  languages.  Courses  in 
the  Junior  and  Senior  classes  are  partially  prescribed  and  par- 
tially elective,  from  eight  to  twelve  hours  of  electives  being 
offered  in  those  classes. 

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. 

A  student  who  makes  a  grade  of  70%  in  a  subject  will  be

PROFESSOR  KEY. 
PROFESSOR  HAMILTON. 

It  is  believed  that  the  mastery  of  these  highly  inflected  lan- 
guages 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  lan- 
guage is  required,  both  in  the  study  of  inflection  and  syntax 
and  in  translation.  This  drill  affords  a  most  rigorous  exer- 
cise 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. 

LATIN. 

Courses  A  and  B.  The  College  provides,  without  additional  ex- 
pense to  the  student,  competent  instructors  in  Caesar  and

PROFESSOR   SULLIVAN. 
MR.  ROBERTS. 

The  rooms  which  are  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  spe- 
cially isolated  and  designed  to  retain  delicate  apparatus.  The 
general  laboratory  opens  conveniently  into  a  small  fuming  room 
outside  of  the  building,  and  is  also  connected  with  a  storeroom. 
Gas,  water,  experiment  tables,  hoods,  and  pneumatic  troughs  are 
to  be  found  in  convenient  places.  There  is  a  cellar  for  electric 
generators,  and  for  assay  and  other  furnaces.  A  large  lecture 
room  on  the  second  floor  is  supplied  with  modern  equipment  for 
general  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 


70  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

work  which  each  student  must  perform  in  the  laboratory.  The 
laboratories  are  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  train  his  hand  to  be  careful  to  the  smallest  detail,  and 
the  eye  observant  to  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  unit  in  Natural  Science  is 
required  for  admission  to  this  department. 

I.  (a)      Inorganic  Chemistry.

ful study  of  fundamental  laws  of  chemistry,  the  occurrence, 
properties  and  preparations  of  the  common  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.

Advanced  Course — This  course  is  intended  to  supplement 
course  I  (a).  Some  phase  of  advanced  chemistry — theo- 
retical, industrial,  or  physical,  will  be  taught.  A  brief 
study  of  historical  chemistry  will  be  included.  This  course 
is  elective  in  the  Junior  or  Senior  year,  and  is  designed  for 
those  who  would  know  more  of  chemistry  than  is  possible 
in  the  Sophomore  year. 

The  course   will  be  varied   from  time   to  time,  as  may  be 
needed.

text-books  will  be  dispensed  with  as  far  as  possible.  The  stu- 
dent will  be  taught  to  feel  that  the  substances  and  apparatus 
around  him  are  his  alphabet.  The  teacher  is  constantly  on  hand 
to  question  and  suggest,  and  in  other  ways  to  stimulate  thought- 
fulness.

(b)     Physiographic  and  Dynamic  Geology. 

This  portion  of  the  course  embraces  the  study  of  physio- 
graphic features  and  processes,  the  mechanical  and  chemi- 
cal effects  of  the  atmosphere,  water,  heat,  and  of  life. 
Special  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.

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  of  the  Smithsonian  Institu- 
tion and  of  the  United  States  Geological  Survey,  are  used  with 
the  class.

HISTORY. 

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  will  be  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  credits  for  the  two  units  in  History  will  be  re- 
quired for  entrance  to  this  department.  One  of  these  must  be 
in  Mediaeval  and  Modern  European  History,  listed  as  "History 
B"  in  the  "Entrance  Requirements"  printed  in  this  Register.

Three  hours  a  week.  Required  of  all  B.A.  Sophomores  and 
B.S.  Juniors. 

In  this  course  especial  stress  will  be  laid  on  Modem  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.

benefit  of  those  who  have  not  been  able  to  fulfill  the  entrance 


DEPARTMENT  OF  ROMANCE  LANGUAGES      87 

requirements  in  this  subject  before  entering  College,  a  prepara- 
tory course  (Course  A)  is  offered.  This  course,  lohen  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.  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  B.A.  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  to  take  more  than  tvv^o  modern  languages. 
Any  course,  not  already  counted,  may  be  used  as  a  Junior  or 
Senior  elective. 

FRENCH. 
Course  A. 

A  beginner's  course,  covering  52  lessons  in  Fraser  and 
Squair's  Shorter  French  Course,  along  with  the  reading  of  simple 
texts.  Special  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  classroom  activi- 
ties 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  attention. 

Course  I. 

The  methods  of  Course  A  will  be  continued  according  to  the 
needs  and  aptitudes  of  the  class.  Part  II  of  Fraser  and  Squair's 
French  Grammar  will  be  completed,  with  further  drill  on  the 
irregular  verbs  and  with  weekly  compositions.  The  greater  por- 
tion of  the  time  will  be  devoted  to  the  careful  reading  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 
and  second  terms  will  be  devoted  to  the  seventeenth  century  in 
order   to    give   the    student   some    first-hand   knowledge    of   the 


88  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

Golden  Age  of  French  Literature.  The  plays  of  Corneille,  Mo- 
liere,  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  third  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  Frangaise,  will  serve  to  give  the  student  a  general 
idea  of  the  development  of  French  literature. 

Course   III.  'J'    '•■  f?)'  •iflj'rjj?? 

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,  Mussett,  and  Gautier. 

One  hour  of  this  course  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the  class, 
be  devoted  to  advanced  composition  and  conversation. 

In  addition  to  the  courses  outlined  above  a  class  in  conver- 
sational French  will  be  formed  to  afford  students  who  have  had 
at  least  one  year  of  French  an  opportunity  for  further  practice 
in  speaking  French.    This  class  will  meet  twice  a  week. 

SPANISH. 

Inasmuch  as  only  two  years  of  Spanish  can  be  offered,  the 
courses  are  more  advanced  and  both  are  ranked  as  college 
classes.  Admission  to  Course  I  will  be  restricted  to  Juniors  and 
S'eniors  in  college,  or  to  students  who  have  completed  one  year 
of  modern  language  study.  Under  no  condition  will  a  student 
be  permitted  to  begin  French  and  Spanish  the  same  year.  Two 
entrance  units  in  Spanish  will  be  required  for  admission  to 
Course  II. 

Course  I. 

A  beginner's  course  in  grammar  and  reading.  The  class 
will  be  conducted  along  the  same  lines  as  the  French  work. 
Hills  and  Ford's  First  Spanish  Course  will  be  used  in  1921-1922 
followed  by  Pittaro's  Spanish  Reader,  Schevill's  First  Reader  in 
S^panish,  and  Dorado's  Espana   Pintoresca.

XII.     THE    DEPARTMENT   OF    SOCIAL    SCIENCES. 

PROFESSOR  NOBLE. 

PROFESSOR  LIN. 

The  aim  of  this  department  will  be  rather  to  do  well  a  small 
amount  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  finan- 
cial, political,  and  social  life  and  institutions. 

ECONOMICS. 

PROFESSOR  NOBLE. 

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. 

SOCIOLOGY. 

PROFESSOR  NOBLE. 

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  South- 
ern people  in  particular.  A  statistical  investigation  of  social 
conditions  in  a  Mississippi  community  will  constitute  a  part  of 
the  course.  Readings,  discussions,  and  lectures.  Two  hours, 
both  terms.

*POLITICAL   SCIENCE. 

PROFESSOR  LIN. 

During  the  First  Term  tlie  origin  of  modern  government  in 
Europe  and  America  will  be  considered  historically.  In  the  Sec- 
ond Term  a  brief  course  on  International  Law  will  be  given.

EXTENSION  DEPARTMENT. 
PROFESSOR   NOBLE,  Director. 

It  is  tlie  purpose  of  the  Extension  Department  as  far  as 
possible  to  make  the  resources  of  the  College  available  for 
people  in  their  homes.  Many  who  aspire  to  self-culture  have 
not  the  means  or  the  inclination  to  come  to  college  for  it.  To 
such  the  Extension  Department  holds  out  a  helping  hand. 

The  College  has  a  valuable  equipment  of  books,  buildings, 
and  trained  instructors.  It  is  the  privilege  of  the  people  to  call 
for  such  service  as  the  College  can  render;  it  is  the  duty  and 
privilege  of  the  College  to  devise  ways  and  means  for  placing  its 
service  at  the  disposal  of  the  people. 

AID   TO    METHODIST    MINISTERS. 

Library  Extension  Service. — One  of  the  most  effective  ways 
in  which  we  are  serving  the  ministers  of  Mississippi  is  in  placing 
the  books  of  our  library  subject  to  their  call.  We  not  only  do 
this  free  of  charge  but  we  pay  postage  one  way  on  any  book 
that  may  be  ordered  from  us.  Books  may  be  kept  out  for  the 
period  of  one  month. 

The  Pastor's  Information  Bureau. — We  are  now  collecting 
information  concerning  numerous  problems  of  the  pastorate.  In 
a  short  vsrhile  vv^e  hope  to  have  data  on  almost  any  question  about 
which  a  pastor  may  wish  to  inquire.  We  will  make  this  infor- 
mation available  on  request,  and  will  also  publish  from  time  to 
time  bulletins  of  information. 

AID   TO   HIGH    SCHOOL   PUPILS   AND   TEACHERS. 

Debates  and  Public  Speaking. — The  Extension  Department 
provides  assistance  to  high  school  pupils  in  the  selection  of 
speeches  and  in  the  preparation  of  debates. 

Lecturers  and  Commencement  Orators. — Members  of  the 
College  faculty  are  available  for  lectures  and  public  speeches  on 
commencement,  anniversaries,  and  other  public  occasions. 


92  MILLSAPS  COLLEGE 

Judges  and  Referees  for  High  School  Contests. — On  short 
notice  the  Extension  Department  can  provide  properly  qualified 
judges  and  referees  for  all  high  school  contests,  athletic  and 
literary. 

AID   TO    CLUB   WOMEN. 

Lecturers  and  Advice. — Members  of  the  College  faculty  from 
time  to  time  lecture  before  women's  clubs.  We  are  in  position 
to  provide  assistance  in  the  planning  and  preparation  of  club 
programs. 


Address  the  Director  for  explanatory  bulletins  and  further 
information.

96  MILLSAPS   COLLEGE 

MILLSAPS  ACADEMY 

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  Academy  is  Founder's  Hall,  a  large 
three-story  brick  building,  containing  the  assembly  hall,  class 
rooms,  the  dining  hall  and  about  fifty  dormitory  rooms.  The 
building  is  steam  heated  and  equipped  with  electric  lights,  water- 
works and  all  modern  conveniences. 

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. 

*EXPENSES. 

The  preparatory  students  are  expected  to  furnish  their  own 
furniture,  which  may  be  purchased  after  arrival,  under  super- 
vision of  the  Head  Master. 

Each  student  should  bring  with  him  four  sheets  for  a  double 
bed,  blankets  or  quilts,  a  pillow  with  cases,  and  six  towels. 

Free  Tuition — (See  page  52).
