14 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
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 IVIississippi, That John J. Wheat, Samuel M. Thames, Thomas
J. Newell and Rufus M. Standifer, of the North Mississippi Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, S'outh, 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 P.
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
scholarships and make by-laws for the government of said Col-
lege and its affairs, as well as for their government, and do
and perform all other acts for the benefit of said institution and
the promotion of its welfare that are not repugnant to the 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 accept-
ance of the charter and the election of Bishop Charles B. Gal-
loway as their permanent President, and of such other persons
as they may determine to fill the oiffices of Vice-President, Sec-
retary and Treasurer, and shall prescribe the duties, powers
HISTORY 1&
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
Lis duties.
They shall also select by lot from 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 a way and at such time as they may determine, and the
persons so selected 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, t^s herein-
before directed, shall be known by the corporate name set out
in the first section of this Act, and all money, 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
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 this College, and to purchase grounds not to ex-
ceed one hundred acres as a building site and campus therefor.
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
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.
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
to year, and their advance in that behalf taken, and every rea-
sonable effort shall be made to bring a collegiate education with-
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.
BOOKS FOR READING
GROUP I.— (Two to ie selected)
The Old Testament — at least the chief narrative episodes in
Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Dan-

30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
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.
48 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
REGULATIONS.
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.
Visiting tiie City at niglit.
Students are forbidden to visit the town, or other place
away from the College, at night, without permission from the
President.
EXPENSES.
Parents desiring to settle all College bills, such as board,
etc., through the Treasurer may do so by simply sending check
to Dr. J. M. Sullivan, Treasurer, and specifying what the en-
closure is intended to cover.
*FEES AND EXPENSES.
For a complete statement of fees and expenses see next
page.
The cost of living is fully explained under "Boarding Facili-
ties," page 45. A temporary increase in board has been made
to meet the present conditions.
Each student should bring with him four sheets for a double
bed, blankets, or quilts, a pillow with cases, and six towels.
Free tuition.
Children of itinerant preachers of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, or of superannuated or active ministers of any
Christian denomination, and young men preparing for the min-
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
recognized by his Church as a student preparing for the min-
istry.

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
advanced in that subject from class to class, but for graduation
a total of 27 grade points is required. This completion of any
college course with a grade of 80% for the year shall entitle a
student to one grade point for each year-hour, and the com-
pletion of a course with a grade of 90% for the year shall entitle
a student to two grade points for each year-hour.
HONORS.
A student who has earned 64 grade points during his course
shall be graduated with "honors"; one who has earned 128
grade points shall be graduated with "high honors."

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.

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.
This course is designed to give the student a thorough
working knowledge of general chemistry, including a care-
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.
Lectures and recitations, three hours. (Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday.)
Text-Book — General Chemistry (McPherson and Henderson.)
Reference Books — Richter, Holleman, Smith, Bloxam.

(second half).
II. Historical Geology.
In addition to general historical geology, some attention
will be given to economic products and to paleontology.
Second 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 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.
I.
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.

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.

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.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT 91
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).
