HISTORY

The Charter of Millsaps College, which was granted Feb-
ruary 21, 1890, reads as follows:

AN ACT to incorporate Millsaps College.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 25

Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State
of Mississippi, That John J. Wheat, Samuel M. Thames,
Thomas J. Newell and Rufus M. Standifer, of the North Mis-
sissippi Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
and Garvin D. Shands, David L. Sweatman, James B. Streater
and John Trice, lay members of said church within bounds of
said Conference, and Thomas L. Mellen, Warren C. Black,
Alexander F. Watkins and Charles G. Andrews, members of
the Mississippi Conference of said church, and Marion M.
Evans, Luther Sexton, William L. Nugent and Reuben W.
Millsaps, of Jackson, lay members of said church, within the
bounds of said Mississippi Conference, and Bishop Charles B.
Galloway, be and they are hereby constituted a body corporate
and politic by and under the name and style of Millsaps Col-
lege, and by that name they and their successors may sue and
be sued, plead and be impleaded, contract and be contracted
with, and have a common seal and break the same at pleasure,
and may accept donations of real and personal property for
the benefit of the College hereafter to be established by them,
and contributions of money or negotiable securities of every
kind in aid of the endowment of such College; and may con-
fer degrees and give certificates of scholarship and make by-
laws for the government of said College 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 wel-
fare that are not repugnant to the Constitution and laws of
this State and of the United States, subject, however, to the
approval of the said 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 offices of Vice-President,
Secretary and Treasurer, and shall prescribe the duties, pow-
ers and terms of office of all said officers, except as to the
terms of their said President, who shall hold office during life
or good behavior, or so long as he may be physically able to
discharge his duties.

26 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

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 re-
main in office for the term of six years and until their succes-
sors are chosen, as hereinafter mentioned. Upon the death,
resignation or removal of said Galloway, or his permanent
physical disability to discharge the duties of his office, the said
Trustees may elect their President and prescribe his duties,
powers and term of office.

Sec. 3. That the said Trustees shall, before the meeting
of said Conference next before the expiration of the term of
office of any of their number, notify the secretary of said Con-
ferences thereof, and the vacancies shall be filled by said Con-
ferences in such a way and at such time as they may deter-
mine, and the persons so selected shall succeed to the office,
place, jurisdiction and powers of the Trustees whose terms of
office have expired. And the said Corporation and the Col-
lege 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 un-
der the special patronage of said Conferences.

Sec. 4. That the said Trustees, when organized as here-
inoefore 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 di-
rection of said Conference for said College shall be turned
over to and receipted for by them in their said corporate name,
and the payee of such notes and evidences of debt shall en-
dorse 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 exceed
one hundred acres as a building site and campus therefor, and
erect thereon such buildings, dormitories and halls as they
may think expedient and proper to subserve the purposes of
their organization and the best interest of said institution, and

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 27

they may invite propositions from any city or town or individ-
ual 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 tho corporation as a site and a 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 taxa-
tion so long as the said College shall be kept open and main-
tained for the purpose contemplated by this Act, and no longer.

Sec. 6. That the cost of education shall, as far as prac-
ticable, 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 advice in that behalf taken, and every rea-
sonable effort shall be made to bring a collegiate education
within reach and ability of the poorer classes of the State.

Sec. 7. That this Act take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.

The College has its origin in the general policy of the
Methodist Church to maintain its 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 fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted by a large majority of the
Conference:

"Resolved, 1. That a college for males under
the auspices and control of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, ought to be established at some cen-
tral and accessible point in the State of Mississippi.

"2. That a committee of three laymen and
three preachers be appointed to confer with a like
committee to be appointed by the North Mississippi
Conference to formulate plans and to receive offers
of donations of land, buildings or money for that
purpose, and report to the next session of this Con-
ference."

28 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

In accordance with this action, the President of the Con-
ference, Bishop R. K. Hargrove appointed the following com-
mittee: Rev, T. L. Mellen, Rev. W. C. Black, Rev. A. F. Wat-
kins, Major R. W. Millsaps, Col. W. L. Ntigent and Dr. Luther
Sexton.

On December 12, 1888, the North Mississippi Conference
met at Starkville, Mississippi, Bishop C, B. Galloway presid-
ing. The Rev. T. L. Mellen appeared and reported the action
taken by the Mississippi Conference, The following tran-
script 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 Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, South.

"That a committee of three laymen and three
ministers be appointed to confer with a like com-
mittee already appointed by the Mississippi Confer-
ence."

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 di-
rect origin of the College.

The joint commissions constituted by the action summar-
ized above met in the City of Jackson in January, 1889. The
Rev. Dr. J. J. Wheat was called to the chair. In stating the
purpose of the meeting he made a stirring appeal in behalf of
the proposition to 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 enthusiasti-
cally approved, and after a plan of procedure was adopted,
Bishop Charles B. Galloway was invited to conduct a campaign
in the interest of the proposed endowment fund.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 29

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, IS 89, refers to the movement in the following language:
"The canvass, on account of the numerous ne-
cessitated absences of Bishop Galloway from the
State, could not be continuously carried on, but even
the partial canvass made, embracing not more than
one-fifth of our territory, resulted in the most grati-
fying and encouraging success. The interest awak-
ened in the enterprise has extended beyond the limits
of our own Church, and is felt by every denomina-
tion of Christians, and by every section of the State.
It is safe to say that no effort of Methodism has ever
kindled such enthusiasm in our State or evoked such
liberal offerings to the Lord. The fact has been
demonstrated that the Church is profoundly con-
vinced that the College is an absolute necessity."
The report continues:

"So high is the appreciation of the value of the
proposed institution that numerous towns in the
State have entered into earnest competition to se-
cure the location of the college within the limits of
their respective borders, offering from $10,000 to
$36,000, and from twenty to eighty acres of land."

In December, 18 89, 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 appoint-
ed agent for the College, and on December 30, 189 3, he re-
ported that the full amount had been collected to meet the
terms of Major Millsaps' proposition, and thereupon $25,000
was immediately paid by Major Millsaps to the Executive Com-
mittee and the following resolution was adopted:

"Resolved, That the Executive Committee return

30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

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 in-
terest in the great enterprise so happily and suc-
cessfully inaugurated, the Church and State owe him
a large debt of gratitude."

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:

BISHOP CHARLES B. GALLOWAY, President
REV. W. C. BLACK, D.D. REV. S. M. THAMES

REV. T. L. MELLEN REV. T. J. NEWELL

REV. A. P. WATKINS REV. C. G. ANDREWS, D.D.

REV. R. M. STANDIFER HON. G. D. SHANDS

MAJ. R. W. MILLSAPS CAPT. D. L. SWEATMAN

COL. W. L. NUGENT MR. J. B. STREATER

DR. LUTHER SEXTON MR. JOHN TRICE

HON. M. M. EVANS REV. J. J. WHEAT, D.D.

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 Wi-
nona, 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 build-
ing were immediately procured, grounds were purchased, and
in a comparatively short time buildings were in process of
erection.

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, twenty-two pro-
fessors in fourteen departments.

The Presidents of the College have been W. B. Murrah,
D.D., LL.D., later Bishop Murrah (1892-1910), D. C. Hull,

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 31

M.A., (1910-1912), A. F. Watkins, D.D., (1912-1923), and
D. M. Key, Ph.D., LL.D., (1923 ).

The unusual facilities for conducting a Law School in
Jackson led to the establishment in 189 6 of a Law School.
Hon. Edward Mayes, ex-Chancellor of the University of Mis-
sissippi, and for more than fourteen years a professor of law
in that institution, took active control of the new school. In
1918 it was discontinued.

In 1911 the Academy was formally separated from the
College. It was made a distinct institution with the official
title of the Millsaps Academy. In 1922 it was discontinued.

The facilities of the College were enlarged in 1895-1896
by the generosity of Major Millsaps, who gave Webster Science
Hall. In 1901 Mr. Dan A. James, of Yazoo City, built an ob-
servatory for the College, in memory of his father, Mr. Peter
James, and of his brother, Mr. Samuel James, and furnished
it with a fine telescope. Millsaps College can thus offer un-
usual advantages in astronomy. In 1902, to supply the in-
creasing demand for better dormitory and dining hall facili-
ties, Major Millsaps gave the College the property formerly
known as Jackson College. This enabled the College to fill
the demands made on it at that time. In addition to this gift
Major Millsaps gave fifty acres of land immediately adjoin-
ing our campus. Ample provision is thus made for the future
expansion of the College.

In 1906 the General Education Board offered to donate
from the funds provided by John D. Rockefeller for Higher
Education $25,000, provided an additional sum of $75,000.00
should be collected from other sources, for the permanent en-
dowment of the College. Rev. T. W. Lewis, of the North
Mississippi Conference, was made financial agent of the Col-
lege to collect this sum. In 1910, $32,279.10 had been col-
lected for this purpose. Mr. I. C. Enochs, a generous citizen
of Jackson, gave an additional $5,000. Major Millsaps, with
characteristic generosity, contributed the remaining $37,-
720.9 0. Thus the endowment of the College was increased
by $100,000.

32 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

In 1913 Major Millsaps gave to the College property on
Capitol Street, Jackson, valued at $150,000. This is the
largest single gift to the College,

The dormitory of the Preparatory School was destroyed
by fire in 1913, but was promptly rebuilt and made more val-
uable by alterations which also improved greatly the appear-
ance 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 administration building.

At the decease of Major R. W. 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.

During the Christian Education Campaign of 1921 Mr. W.
S. F. Tatum, a generous layman of Hattiesburg, donated
$100,000 to the College for the establishment of the Depart-
ment of Religious Education. The Board of Trustees accept-
ed the gift, giving the department the name of the generous
donor. Later, in 1923 Mr. Tatum, realizing the growing im-
portance of this field in the church college, added $25,000 to
the sum at first given by him. By these gifts he created the
first separately endowed department in the college. The de-
partment was organized at the opening of the session of 1921-
'22, with Professor C. A, Bowen in charge. Provision was
made in the deed of gifts for the employment of an Associate
Professor, and Millsaps College now has two professors in this
department. The work of this department has grown in
scope and effectiveness until it is now recognized as doing a
leading work in the Methodist Church in this field. It is to
be hoped that others will see the opportunity for promoting
instruction in particular subjects by endowing other depart-
ments. The Science Departments, the History Department,
the Department of Education, and the Carnegie-Millsaps Libra-
ry are, because of their needs, promising fields for a fruitful
investment in Christian Education.

In 19 26 the number of women students had increased to
such an extent that it became necessary to provide housing ac-
commodations on the College campus, and the Sullivan House

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 33

which had been removed in order to make room for the new
Carnegie-Millsaps Library, was fitted up and equipped for this
purpose. During the session of 1928-29, a second building, a
new apartment house on "West street was leased and furnished
as a home for young women. It immediately became appar-
ent, however, that this provision is inadequate and will have
to be enlarged. Plans are now on foot by which it is expected
that adequate provisions will be made for all young women
now in the College and for those who may enter the Junior or
Senior Class. It will not be possible to admit young women
not residents of Jackson to the Freshman or Sophomore Class.

Since the foundation of the old library had so given away
as to make the building unsafe, the Carnegie Library Board
agreed in 1923 to rebuild the Library on a new site, and to
provide a larger one more nearly adequate to the needs of the
college, which had grown greatly since the original Library
was built. So a new Library costing $60,000.00 became
available in 1925-1926.

In 19 2 6 and again in 1927 the Conferences took action
approving and endorsing the purpose of the College to make a
special appeal for the enlargement and improvement of the
physical equipment. In the spring of 19 2 8 this appeal was
begun and some $2 6 8,000 in subscriptions was secured. This
amount included a number of gifts of considerable sums in-
cluding $50,000 from B. B. Jones who had previously given
$20,000 to the endowment, $15,000 from W. M. Buie, whose
previous gifts have amounted to $28,300; and $15,000 from
I. C. Enochs family. At the next Annual Conference, Rev. V.
G. Clifford was appointed as financial commissioner who de-
voted his time to the raising of funds for the completion of
the buildings needed. As a result of the subscriptions already
made, a magnificent science building costing about $180,000
has been erected.

In compliance with a request from the student body the
Board of Trustees, at their annual meeting in June 1932,
named the new science building Sullivan-Harrell Hall.

Since 1912 Millsaps College has been a member of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. An

34 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

impartial committee of the Association made exhaustire in-
quiry into the financial resources of the institution, its courses,
the training of its instructors, and the character of its work,
and unanimously recommended it for membership. This in-
quiry extended over a year, and no conditions whatever were
imposed for the election of the College, since it had been of
the first rank for some years. Its degrees are recognized by
all institutions of learning as among the best in the land.

The College is also a member of the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges, and of the American Association of Collegiate
Registrars.

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
guaranty of its perpetuity:

Productive endowment, including reve-
nue producing property .$ 902,955.53

Unproductive endowment (land) 100,000.00

Buildings 506,898.91

Grounds 12 7,071.18

Books, Equipment, etc 80,587.15

New Construction and Equipment 13,740.80

TOTAL $1,731,253.57

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 practica-
ble, be reduced to the lowest point consistent with
the efficient operation of said College, and every rea-
sonable effort shall be made to bring collegiate edu-
cation within the reach of the poorer classes of the
State."

With a productive endowment of $902,955.53, and build-
ings and grounds worth $63 3,970.09, 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 Chris-
tian churches.

school or academy. It must bear in all cases the signature
of the head of the school, must specify the character and con-
tents of each course offered for entrance credit, must give
the length of time devoted to the course, and must give the
candidate's grades in percentage. In the scientific course two
hours of laboratory instruction will be counted as the equiva-
lent of one hour recitation. Certificate of preparation from
private tutors will in no case be accepted. Students thus pre-
pared must in all cases take the entrance examination.

For admission by examination, the candidate must pre-
sent himself at the College in September, if the Examination
has not been previously taken.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 41

GENERAL INFORMATION

Millsaps College is named in honor of Major R. W. Mill-
saps, whose munificent gifts have made the existence of the
institution possible. The College is the property of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, South, and was organized by the con-
current action of the Mississippi and North Mississippi Confer-
ences. It is not sectarian, however, but numbers among its
patrons members of all the Christian denominations.

LOCATION

Jackson, the capital of the state, and the seat of the Col-
lege, is easily accessible by five lines of railway. Thirty pas-
senger trains arrive and depart daily. The College is located
in the northern part of the city on a commanding elevation,
with perfect drainage, and in a beautiful campus of one hun-
dred or more acres. A healthier spot it would be difficult to
find within the limits of the State. Jackson is a city of 48,000
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 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 class of 1916 donated a fine photographic
lens to the observatory. A two inch prismatic transit by
Gaertner was added to the equipment in 1930.

CARNEGIE ailLLSAPS LIBRARY

Near the close of the session of 1905-1906, Mr. Andrew
Carnegie offered to give ?15,000 for a library building if the
trustees would supply an endowment of equal amount. Major
Millsaps added to his many contributions by giving the full
amount of the endowment.

42 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

The foundations of this handsome building unfortunate-
ly gave way so that it became necessary to rebuild the struc-
ture, and the Carnegie Corporation has generously appro-
priated $50,000.00 for this purpose. The books are cata-
logued fully by the A. L. A. system and are in charge of Mrs.
M. B. Clark and Miss Mary Heald, trained and experienced
librarians.

From time to time additions have been made from the en-
dowment funds and from the Library fees.

In addition to the books thus obtained, the library has
been so fortunate as to secure most of the well selected libra-
ries 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 Ed-
ward 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 li-
brary. This has been appropriately labeled and shelved, and
constitutes a valuable addition to the books on Romance Lan-
guages. The Martha A. Turner Fund, founded by Mrs. J. R.
Bingham, of Carrollton, Mississippi, is used for the purchase
of books in English literature. Through the generosity of
Hon. "W. S. F. Tatum a fine collection of books has been built
up for the use of the Department of Religion.

Mrs. Charles B. Galloway made a notable addition to our
collection of valuable books by giving to the College the fine
theological library of the lamented Bishop Charles B. Gallo-
way.

In 19 31 the Carnegie Corporation included the Millsaps
College library in the list of college libraries to which special
donations were made for the purchase of books. A sum of
$10,000 has been allotted to the library to be paid in five an-
nual installments. This fund has already greatly strengthened
the library, especially by making it possible to obtain many
works and sets of books that it would otherwise have been
difficult or impossible to obtain at this time. In the last
three and one-half years, through January, 19 35, more than
3,300 books have been added to the library from this source.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 43

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 wor-
ship 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 develop-
ing the students into a broader life is the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association. Its policy and aim is to develop the three-
fold nature of the students — the moral, intellectual, and spirit-
ual. It is a well known fact that a student who develops him-
self intellectually, but neglects his spiritual nature, is in no
sense a complete man. Unless one becomes a well-rounded
man, he is not fit to fight the battles of life.

In this connection the association was organized shortly
after the College was founded. It has done as much to mould
character and to hold up a high standard of ideals before the
students as any other department in connection with the Col-
lege. 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 As-
sociation 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 mem-
bers 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 Wed-
nesday evenings. These services are usually conducted by
some of the students, but occasionally by some member of the
Faculty, or by some prominent minister or layman.

44 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

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 profes-
sion 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 young men to
Christ each year. During the current year a spiritual life con-
ference conducted by Rev. W. C. Newman and Dr. W. D.
Weatherford contributed very much to the religious life of
the students.

The Association sends yearly a delegation to the South-
ern Students' Conference at Blue Ridge, North Carolina.
Since the ten days of the Convention are assiduously devoted
to discussing 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 the organ-
ization. The President, elected by the members, appoints
chairmen of nine committees, each composed of three or more
men. It is the duty of the Publicity Committee to advertise
all meetings, and secure good attendance. The Membership
Committee meets all new students as they arrive, and gives
them any information desired concerning College, boarding
facilities, etc. Afterward this committee calls on each stu-
dent and urges him to become a member of the Association.
The Reception Committee has charge of College Night, and
any other entertainment that the Association 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 man in the different phases of College life. The Em-
ployment Committee assists deserving students in getting em-
ployment for their spare time. The City Mission Committee
has charge of work in different parts of the city. The Devo-
tional Committee provides leaders, and the Music Committee,
whose Chairman is the treasurer of the Association, collects
the annual dues and raises funds sufficient for meeting cur-
rent expenses.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 45

But most important are the Bible Study and Mission
Study Committees. Bible study groups are formed at the dor-
mitories 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. A student Volunteer
Band is organized and is active in preparation for mission
work. Delegates are sent each year to the Volunteer Con-
vention, and the College is now represented in the foreign
field by a number of efficient missionaries.

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.

THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTLIN ASSOCIATION

The Young Women's Christian Association plays the same
part in the lives of the young women of the college as is played
by the Y. M. C. A. in the lives of the men. It exerts a pro-
found influence for good on the whole college.

Religious services are held by the Y. W. C. A, each week,
a period being set apart in the college programme of exercises
for that purpose. The Association sends each year a delegate
to Blue Ridge. The girls of the college have in the Y. W. C. A.
all the advantages offered by that organization in the best col-
leges for women.

The Freshman Commission constitutes those who are in
training for position as future officers of the Association.

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-laws of their own fram-
ing. They are named, respectively, the Galloway and the La-
mar Societies, and contribute greatly to the improvement of
their members.

46 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

Representatives chosen from the societies engage in in-
tercollegiate debate with teams from the other colleges of the
state and also other institutions. In recent years there have
been debates with Emory University, Birmingham Southern
College, Vanderbilt University, Centenary College, and others.
In 1925-'26 Millsaps debate teams won every one of the six
debates engaged in, and since that time have won a majority
of their contests.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

There are two literary publications which have an excel-
lent standing among the student publications of the South,
viz., the Purple and White, the campus weekly, and the Col-
lege annual, the Bobashela.

HONORARY FRATERNITIES

Student leadership in college activities is signalized and
rewarded by election to various honorary fraternities. Liter-
ary ability among the men of the college leads to member-
ship in the Kit-Kat Chapter of the national literary frater-
nity, Sigma Upsilon. Similar ability among the co-eds leads
to membership in Chi Delta Phi, a national literary honor so-
ciety for women. Excellence in scholarship is given recog-
nition by election to Eta Sigma. Pi Kappa Delta recognizes
the leaders in oratory and debate at Millsaps. Student lead-
ership, of whatever kind, is recognized by membership in
Omicron Delta Kappa, an intercollegiate leadership fraternity.
Membership in this organization is regarded as a great honor.
Excellence in dramatics at Millsaps, as manifested by partici-
pation in the dramas presented by the Millsaps Players, leads
to association with Alpha Psi Omega, the youngest honorary
fraternity on the campus and one of the livest. Such honors
as those mentioned above are much sought after in our insti-
tution, and cause students to attain a high degree of excel-
lence in their chosen fields of student activity.

MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS

For a number of years there have been two excellent glee
clubs, the men's glee club under the direction of Dr. A. P.

MUjLSAPS college 47

Hamilton, and the women's glee club under the direction of
Miss Magnolia Simpson. Both glee clubs are now under
the direction of Mr. Alvin J. King. An excellent band has been
organized, the student body raising some $1,200.00 for instru-
ments and equipment, and it has made rapid progress. The
students of the Fine Arts Department have organized the
Beethoven Club, and presented some excellent programs,
privately and publicly.

Several other voluntary organizations, such as the Science
Club, and the Classical Club, give expressions to collateral
scholarly interests outside the regular curriculum.

ATHLETICS

Millsaps College is a member of the Southern Intercolle-
giate Athletic Association, and the Dixie Conference, and takes
part in all intercollegiate games. Games and sports of all
kinds are under the special direction of the General Athletic
Association, a student organization, whose object is to pro-
mote this class of physical exercise. The faculty exercises a
general advisory control endeavoring to foresee and avert dan-
gerous tendencies or excess in physical exercises while giving
to the students as far as possible entire liberty of manage-
ment; a strict limit is placed upon the character of the inter-
collegiate games and the number played away from the Col-
lege.

The Athletic Director has supervision of all intercolle-
giate 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 instruc-
tion of the Athletic Director, a scholastic credit of one session-
hour is granted.

BOARDING FACTLITIES

Students of Millsaps College, as a rule arrange for their
living in one of two ways.

1. There are seven small cottages, in which students can
room at reduced cost. These cottages are provided with the

48 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

same furniture provided for dormitory rooms. The cottages
are admirably 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 $20.00
per year in advance or $12.50 per half year in advance. Furni-
ture, lights, fuel, and water are furnished except to families
using apartments. Students wishing to engage a room in one
of the cottages should write Mr. V. B. Hathorn, at the college.

2. In the dormitories the expense will be approximate-
ly $18.00 to $21.00 per month including room, light, steam
heat, board, matron's services, and hospital facilities. The
dining room is conducted on the cooperative plan. During
1933-34 the cost amounted to approximately $15.00 per
month. Students who room in the cottages 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.

3. Since the formation of the Millsaps System and the
recent development of a number of excellent State Junior col-
leges in Mississippi, the number of women students in the
junior and senior classes of Millsaps has increased to such an
extent that the College has provided living quarters for women.
This is at present done in a number of cottage homes providing
accommodations for twelve to fifteen young women. These
are comfortably furnished and in each is provided reception
rooms and apartment for a house mother. All non resident
women students will be required to reside in the home provid-
ed by the College and to conform to the regulations of the dean
of women. Room rent in these homes is $63.00 per year or
$35.00 per half year and board $18.00 per month.

THE DORMITORIES

Founder's Hall is a three story structure, beautifully lo-
cated on the east campus facing State Street. At the South
end of the campus and overlooking the city with the beautiful
dome of the New Capitol in the foreground are Burton Hall
and Galloway Hall. These handsome buildings with their
columned porticoes are connected by a colonnade.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 49

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

No change of rooms will be allowed except by permission
of the President.

Early reservation should be made if a student wishes to
be assured of a room. A deposit of $5.00 must accompany a
request for a reservation. Students entering College for the
first time are entitled to reserve a room upon payment of the
application fee of $15.00.

A home for young women near the College campus under
the supervision of the Matron and the Dean of Women has
been provided and newly furnished, and adequate provision
will be made to accommodate all out of town young women
who are accepted.

MEMORLllj COTTAGES

The friends of the late Rev. John A. Ellis, of the Missis-
sippi Conference, and the Rev. J. H. Brooks, of North Mis-
sissippi Conference, have built two cottages for the accommo-
dation of students. These homes are named respectively, the
John A. Ellis, and J. H. Brooks Cottage.

IVIATRICUTLATION

The various departments are under the direction of pro-
fessors who are responsible for the systems and methods pur-
sued.

The session begins on the second Wednesday of Septem-
ber and continues with recess of about ten days at Christmas,

50 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

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 aux-
iliary 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.

At the end of the four years' course a comprehensive
examination is given in the student's major field.

REPORTS

Reports are sent at the close of each nine weeks to the
parent or guardian of each student. These reports give the
number of excused and unexcused absences from lectures,
and indicate, as nearly as practicable, the nature of the prog-
ress made by him in his work at the College.

REGISTRATION OF NEW STUDENTS

Applicants seeking admission to the College for the first
time should present themselves to the Registrar of the College
at his office in the main building promptly at 9:00 o'clock on
the opening day, September 11th. In each instance a certifi-
cate of good moral character, signed by the proper official of
the institution attended during the previous session, or by
some persons of known standing, must be sent to the Regis-
trar at least two weeks before the opening of the session.
Each candidate who satisfies these requirements and those
for admission by certificate or examination will be furnished
with a card containing the courses offered, from which he
may select those which he proposes to pursue during the ses-
sion. The card must then be carried to the Bursar, who will,
after the College fees have been paid to him, sign the card.
Registration is incomplete unless the registration card is

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 51

signed by both the Registrar and the Bursar, On payment of
these fees the applicant will be admitted to classes.

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 dur-
ing the first two days of the session will be admitted to regis-
tration only upon the consent of the President, and will be
required to pay a special fee of $3.00.

RESIDENCE, ATTENDANCE, AND GRADES

The Academic year begins on the morning of the second
Wednesday of September and continues for thirty-six weeks.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday, and there is a Christmas re-
cess of about ten days.

Attendance is required of each student throughout the
session, with the exception of the days above indicated, unless
he has received permission to be temporarily absent, or to
withdraw before its close. Leave of absence is granted by the
Faculty or President for sufficient reasons, and must in every
case be obtained in advance. While in residence each student
is required to attend regularly all lectures and other pre-
scribed exercises and ail examinations in the courses which he
pursues, (unless excused for cause), and in every way to con-
form to the regulations of the College.

Absence from the College is permitted only upon the
leave of the Dean, obtained in every case in advance. But
leave 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 organi-
zations.

Absence of athletic teams and other student organiza-
tions is provided for by Faculty regulations.

Absence from any class is not excused except for sickness
or like providential cause. But absences, whether excused or

52 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

not, from one-fourth or more of the recitation period in any
term will result in proportionate decrease of credits allowed.
If a student is absent from a class more than one-fourth of
the time devoted to that course he loses one-half credit in
that course. The deficiency is made up by adding the loss
in credit to the 128 hours for graduation. If a student is
absent from one-half of the time devoted to a course then
all credit in that course is lost and the entire course must
be repeated.

Absence from examinations will not be excused except
for sickness on day of examination, attested by a physician's
certificate, or other cause which the Faculty by special order
may approve. An unexcused absence or presentation of an
unpledged paper is counted as a total failure in the examina-
tion in which it occurs. A student whose absence from ex-
amination is excused Is admitted to a 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 semes-
ter or for the session is determined by the combined class
standing and the result of examination. The daily average
counts 60%, and the examination 40% of the grade
for the semester. If the combined grade is below 70 the stu-
dent is required to repeat the course, except in courses where
the grades for the two semesters may be averaged.

Those reported delinquent in two or more subjects at any
faculty meeting are required to report to Coaching School from
7:30 to 9:30 in the evening of the following two weeks.

Class standing in any course is determined by the regu-
larity of attendance of the student upon lectures and labora-
tory or other similar exercises where included in the course
in question and by the faithful performance of his work as
indicated by the answers when questioned, by written exer-
cises, note books, the faithful performance of laboratory or

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 53

other similar work, etc. Students are regarded by the facul-
ty as under the law of honor in matters affecting class stand-
ing or in examinations. The grade for passing in any course
is 70 per cent. For quality requirements see page 67.

WITHDRAWALS

Voluntary withdrawals from the College require the writ-
ten consent of the Faculty or President.

Enforced withdra,wal is inflicted by the Faculty for ha-
bitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness or any other
fault which prevents the student from fulfilling the purpose
for which he should have come to College.

The College reserves the right to cancel the registration
of any student at any time. In such a case, the prorata por-
tion of board, room rent, and tuition will be returned.

AID TO METHODIST 3IIiaSTERS

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 libiary 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.

AID TO HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS AXD TEACHEP^

Debates and Public Speaking. — The College provides as-
sistance for high school pupils in the selection of speeches and
in the preparation of debates.

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

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

54 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

AH) TO CLUB WOMEN

Lectures 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.

CONDUCT

The rules of the College require from every student de-
corous, sober and upright conduct as long as he remains a
member of the College, whether he be within its precincts or
not.

They require from the student regular and diligent appli-
cation to his studies, and regular attendance upon chapel.

Drinking, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbid-
den, and any student found guilty of them is punished by sus-
pension or expulsion.

Firearms.

The keeping of firearms by the students is strictly for-
bidden.

Visiting the City at Night.

Students who are delinquent in their studies are forbid-
den to visit the town, or other places away from the College at
night, without permission from the President.

Delinquency.

Reports are made each two weeks of all those failing dur-
ing the preceding two weeks in each subject. The names of
those delinquent are posted and notice is sent to the parent or
guardian.

Those students who do not pass in as many as three sub-
jects during a semester, except Freshmen, who must pass two
subjects and make 60 in a third for the first semester shall
be dismissed from College.

Demerit System.

1. The demerit system is used. Demerits are incurred by
unexcused absence from class, chapel, and for other vio-

\

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 55

lations of the college regulations, such as hazing and oth-
er offences,

2. When a student has received an aggregate of thirty-five
demerits he is called before the Faculty and warned. A
notice of the same will be sent to his parent or guardian.

3. When the aggregate of demerits reaches sixty-five, he re-
ceives a second warning, and a second notice is sent to his
parent or guardian.

4. When the aggregate of demerits reaches one hundred, he
is dismissed from the College.

EXPENSES

Parents desiring to settle all College bills, such as board,
etc., through the Treasurer may do so by simply sending
check to Mr. V. B. Hathorn, Bursar, and specifying what the
enclosure is intended to cover.

FEES

No student will be admitted into any class of the College
except upon presentation to the instructor of the Bursar's re-
ceipt for all entrance and tuition fees. In no case are en-
trance or laboratory fees returned.

must be paid not later than the second we«k of each period.
For scale of tuition see page 57.

BOARD

Board is payable by terms of 6 weeks (42 days) strictly
in advance. When a student has paid his board a meal ticket
will be issued to him by the Bursar which will be good until
the next payment falls due. Payments for board will not be
returned except for absence of not less than two weeks.

56 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

Charges for board do not include the Christmas holidays, dur-
ing which period meals will not be served in the dining hall.

Students will not be admitted to the dining hall without
meal tickets after classes begin.

No student shall be allowed to graduate unless he shall
have settled with the Treasurer all his indebtedness to the
College by May 1st preceding the commencement.

Students who have already been matriculated as members
of the College will present themselves not later than the sec-
ond day of the session and conform, as regards the registration
in their respective classes and payment of dues, to the re-
quirements stated in the preceding paragraph.

For a complete statement of fees and expenses see next
page.

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

Free Tuition.

Children of itinerant and superannuated preachers of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and young men prepar-
ing for the ministry may receive tuition free in the academic
department, but are expected to pay all other fees. Any
student, wishing exemption from the payment of the tuition
fee upon this ground, will be required to present a certifi-
cate from the Quarterly Conference or some other ecclesias-
tical body showing that he is recognized by his Church as a
student preparing for the ministry.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 57

COST OF ATTENDING ]\IILL.SAPS COLLEGE

The Academic Schools comprise the Departments of Lan-
guages, Mathematics, Science, History, Social Science, Litera-
ture, Philosophy, Education, and Religion. In the courses of
these departments is comprised the work of the College with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science.

B.A. Degree.

The Bachelor of Arts Course offers special instruction in
the departments of Ancient and Modern Languages.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 67

B.S. Degree.

The Bachelor of Science Course offers special work in
Chemistry, Biology and Physics.

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

One hundred and twenty-eight semester hours are re-
quired for graduation both for the B.A. and B.S. degrees.
Specific courses are prescribed in the Freshman and the Soph-
omore classes, including alternative courses offered in ancient
and modern languages. All the courses in the Senior and
almost all in the Junior class are elective.

The usual course is 32 semester hours for each year.
Not fewer than 24 semester hours nor more than 38 semester
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, but a certain number of quality
points is requisite for advancement from one class to the next
higher class. The student must have six quality points to be
classed as a Sophomore, 22 to be classed as a Junior, 42 to be
classed as a Senior, and 64 for graduation. The completion
of any college course with a grade of 80% for one semester
shall entitle a student to one quality point for each semester
hour, and the completion of a course with a grade of 90% for
the semester shall entitle a student to two quality points for
each semester hour.

HONORS

A student who has earned 160 quality points during his
course shall be graduated with "honors"; one who has earned
248 quality points shall be graduated with "high honors."

To be eligible for "honors" or "high honors" a student
must have passed at least sixty semester hours in Millsaps
College. Sixty per cent of the quality points on which "hon-
ors" or "high honors" are given must be earned at Millsaps.
Quality points earned in other colleges of the Millsaps sys-
tem and semester hours passed in such colleges shall be
reckoned as if they had been done in Millsaps College. These
regulations do not apply to those who transfer back as much

as eighteen semester hours for their degree. These regula-
tions to go into effect in 1936.

I. DEPARTMENT OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES

PROFESSOR HAMILTON

PROFESSOR KEY

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR HUDDLESTON *

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR SIMPSON

It is believed that the mastery of these highly inflected
languages will effect the purposes aimed at in education in
the following ways:

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 re-
flexes of accuracy, efficiency and system.

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.

Intimate contact with the very words which express the
best ideals and aspirations of those great spirits whose influ-
ence has been most abiding and formative in our world should
shape the character to fine and worthy purposes. The "ul-
timate objectives" are not lost sight of.

The Department of Chemistry is now well provided for in
the SuUivan-Harrell Hall, a new and thoroughly modern sci-
ence hall, which was recently built as a gift from citizens of
Jackson and Hinds County at a cost of approximately $200,-
000.00 There are two lecture rooms supplied with tablet-arm
chairs fixed in elevated rows, improved lecture desks with
Alberene stone tops and removable down-draft hoods, sliding
blackboards with separate control for lighting, and other con-
veniences. There are four large laboratories, one for general
chemistry provided with five double desks eighteen feet long to
accommodate 140 students in three sections (and piping
roughed-in for two more desks as needed), one for organic and
qualitative work provided with five double desks eighteen feet
long to accommodate seventy individuals (provision being
made for expansion), one for quantitative analysis equipped for
fourteen students, (expansion provided for), and one for in-
dustrial chemistry. There are three smaller laboratories for
physical chemistry, nitrogen determinations, and research, re-
spectively, besides six small laboratory rooms for individual
and specialized work. All desks have Alberene tops and
sinks, with lead trough inclined in one direction the entire
length, and are supplied with an adequate number of outlets
for water, gas, compressed air, and 110-volt electric current.

All laboratory hoods are of the high velocity and open-
type made of Transite board on Alberene shelf supported on
steel pipe frame, and range from four to eight feet in length.
Each hood is provided with outlets for water, gas, compressed
air, and 30-ampere electric current, with separate control for
lighting fixture attached to ceiling of hood.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 83

All horizontal drain pipes from chemical laboratories and
stockrooms are of Duriron. All floors are of "mastic," and
lecture-room ceilings are of Masonite board which eliminates
practically all echo.

Three stockrooms, one for apparatus, one for inorganic
and one for organic chemicals, are located on the ground floor
convenient to a freight elevator. Two departmental stock-
rooms are located conveniently, one on the main floor and
connecting by service window directly with the laboratory for
general chemistry, and the other immediately above with serv-
ice window connecting directly with the qualitative and or-
ganic laboratory. The weighing room is located between the
laboratories for quantitative and physical chemistry.

Distilled water is supplied by gravity through block-tin
pipe to laboratories on each floor and to lecture table.

The seven motors and fans that produce the ventilation
for hoods and chemical laboratories are located in the attic,
each motor controlling a separate group of hoods and its oper-
ation indicated at each control switch by a pilot-light signal.

The head of the department is provided with a well equip-
ped office and adjoining private laboratory, which latter con-
nects directly with his lecture room.

The work in this department includes one year of Chem-
istry required of candidates for B.S. degree, besides other
courses open to all students who have completed chemistry
11-12, or 21, 22.

The subjects are taught by recitations and lectures and
work which each student must perform in the laboratory.
The laboratories are kept well equipped with apparatus neces-
sary to the correct appreciation of the science. Each student
has his own desk and apparatus, and is closely supervised, so
that he may not only gain a true idea of the substance under
inspection but also train his hands to be careful to the smallest
detail, and the eye observant of the slightest phenomenon,
and habits of neatness, skill and economy. Each student will
be expected to keep accurate notes. In all courses attention

In addition to general historical geology, some atten-
tion will be given to economic products and to paleon-
tology.

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 to 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

Vn. THE DEPARTMENT OF GERMAN

PROFESSOR HAMILTON

Al, A2.

The regular college work in German begins witli course
11, but for the benefit of those students who have not been able
to make the required preparation in this subject, a preparatory
course (Course A) is offered. This course, if taken under the
supervision of the College and not used as an entrance unit,
may be used as Junior or Senior elective. When thus used
it counts three hours toward graduation. All classes in Ger-
man meet three times a week, unless otherwise specified. For
entrance Course A will count as two units, provided the student
makes a grade of not less than 80.

Text-Books — Grammar. Storm, Immensee; other short
stories in German.

11, 12.

For graduation, college work in German, French, or
Spanish may be substituted for Greek in the B.A. course. In
the B.S. course, modern languages may be substituted for
Latin, classes in the three languages offered being inter-
changeable, hour for hour. But a student should consult the
professors in charge before so planning his course as to in-
clude more than two modern languages. Any course not oth-
erwise counted may be used as an elective.

Text-Books — German Review Grammar; Wilhelm Tell; Frey-
tag, Die Journalisten. For parallel reading; Schiller,
Die Jungfrau von Orleans; Ernst, Flaschmann als

EVELYN CLARK

PAUL HARDIN

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, and emphasis will be laid on the idea that his-
tory is a record of the continuous development of the human
race, whose growing self-consciousness manifests itself in the
progressive 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 racial composition, its
religious and social institutions, its economic condition, and
the organization of its government.

11. History of Europe 378-1776.

In this course an attempt will be made to show that the
problems and ideal of modern nations grow out of their
history. This will be done as a preparation for the study
of the governmental institutions of our own and other
countries, and as the basis for a correct understanding of
the questions now engaging civilized nations. Required
in Freshman year for B.S. students. Required in either
Freshman or Sophomore year for B.A. students.

• X. THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

PROFESSOR LIN

The courses in Philosophy are designed to give an intelli-
gent view of the constitution of the mind, and to indicate the
conditions of all valid thought. Only what is fundamental
will be considered.

In Logic both deductive and inductive logic will be given,
but neither course will receive credit for graduation unless it
is supplemented by the other course in this subject. In the
History of Philosophy a comprehensive view will be given of
the results attained by the greatest thinkers who have at-
tempted to frame a consistent theory of the material and the
spiritual world. One course in pre-christian ethics will be
given, and one in the ethics of recent times. As in Logic,
both courses must be taken in order to receive credit for either
looking to graduation. It is recommended that Logic be tak-
en before either Ethics or the History of Philosophy is at-
tempted.

physical work are designed to cover the whole school year at
the rate of two hours a week for each Freshman. Although
this work is compulsory, considerable freedom in selection is
offered. The sole aim is to create a healthy desire to engage
in some form of recreation, under proper supervision, so as to
benefit the student morally, mentally, and physically. This
exercise takes form of competitive games in order to arouse
the proper interest, develop team work, teach initiative,
strengthen the morale, teach true sportsmanship, and create a
life-long interest in some form of sport which will benefit the
student in after life. An idea is also gained as to the natural
ability of each man and quite frequently students discover
that they are really better in athletics than they thought they
were and are encouraged to try for the varsity teams.

Xm. THE DEPARTMENT OF RELIGION

Tatuni Foundation

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR NESBITT
INSTRUCTOR GILMORE

CAXTON DOGGETT
RAYMOND McCLINTON

It is assumed in this department that all true education
is religious, and in the light of this assumption the purpose
here is to provide courses of study which will represent the
proper emphasis upon the religious, historical, and literary
values of education in Religion. These courses include studies
in the Bible itself and closely related subjects of Biblical Lit-
erature and History, Christian Religious Education, and some
phases of the History of Religion.

Two definite motives underlie this general idea: (1)
to meet the curriculum requirements of the college for six
semster hours in Bible for graduation, which requirement may
be satisfied in either Freshman or Sophomore years; (2) to
provide a logical set-up for a major in Religion to satisfy the
needs of those students who wish to take their comprehensive
examinations in the department.

It may be observed that these courses of study are not
offered for any special professional or pre-professional inter-
est, such as the ministry or Christian life-service, but gen-
erally for the training of the future laity of the Church uni-
versal. These special interests are not neglected, but the
modern program of the church makes such heavy demands
upon an intelligent and effective lay leadership that it is
hoped many students will avail themselves of the offerings of
this department.

Those Millsaps students who are properly qualified are
in demand for Cokesbury Training School work in the sum-
mer vacations in the Mississippi Conferences. This depart-
ment co-operates with the General and Conference Boards of
Christian Education in helping to prepare students to meet
the requirements.

116 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

*Students who wish to take the required course in Religion
in the Freshman year will take 11 and 12, which is specially-
designed for first-year students. Those who for any reason
postpone the requirement until the Sophomore or subsequent
years, or transfers from other colleges who lack the require-
ment in Bible, will take 21 and 22. Variation from this gen-
eral procedure will not be permitted.

All courses are considered as semester units, and carry
three semester hours credit each.

Majors in this department may choose either of two lines
of study offered, as follows:

(1) Biblical Literature and History; 21, 22, 31, 32, 51,

52, 81, 82.

(2) Religious Education; 21, 22, 41, 42, 61, 62, 71, 72.

*11, 12. Introductory Bible: Designed especially for first-
year college students, to give necessary backgrounds for
intelligent study and appreciation of the Bible and some
insight into the nature and meaning of the Christian
religion, and to prepare for further study in this field
for those who desire it.
Through entire year; open only to Freshmen.

21, 22. Biblical Survey: A general survey study of the lit-
erature, history, and religious ideals of the Old and New
Testaments respectively, with emphasis upon thorough-
ness and detail.

Required for graduation unless 11 and 12 are taken in
Freshman year; then may be taken as an elective. The
course is a basic requirement for all majors in the de-
partment.

Through entire year; not open to Freshmen.

31. The Life and Teachings of Jesus: This is a special study

GENERAIi STATEMENT

The Summer School of Millsaps College for 1935 will
open on June 5 and will continue for eleven weeks.

The Summer School is planned especially for college stu-
dents and for teachers who desire further professional work
or regular college work. Teachers may secure renewal of li-
cense by attendance for nine weeks. Entrance units and tran-
scripts will be required of all new students.

In opening its doors to the teachers of the State, Mill-
saps College feels that it is serving a long felt need in that
some provision should be made at the Capital of the State for
teachers to spend a few weeks during their vacation and at the
same time take such work as they may find in the list of
courses.

All the advantages of the other summer schools will be
afforded in the way of renewal and extension of license pro-
vided by the State Department of Education.

College graduates who lack the required number of hours
in Education will find, here, an opportunity to make up some
of those hours. Students with two years of college training
may, with six hours in Education, be granted a temporary
State License without examination by the State Board of Ex-
aminers.

The amount of work that a student may take will be lim-
ited to two subjects with a total credit of twelve semester
hours, or to four semester courses of three hours each.

144 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

There will be a series of lectures by special lecturers from
time to time. Announcement will be made beforehand.

The tuition fee will be $35.00 and a matriculation fee of
$5.00 will be charged. Board will be $25.00 or $26.00 per
month, or at the rate of $8.00 per week. For a period of less
than a week the rate will be $1.50 per day. Science fee,
$10.00. Library fee $3.00. Science breakage fee, $2.00 for
each course, unused portion returned. Those who expect to
live on the campus will bring with them a pillow, bed-linen,
towels, and toilet articles. The dormitories and dining hall
will be open on the evening of June 4. Fees and board pay-
able strictly in advance.

Those expecting to enter the Summer School should make
reservation of room by sending to the Bursar a deposit of
$5.00.

The following courses will be offered:

Biology 31, 32 History 21, 22

146 MILLSAPS COLLEGE

Whitworth College, located in the beautiful little city of
Brookhaven, has a long and honorable history in the educa-
tion of Mississippi women. Traditions of piety, learning, and
culture of more than a half century enshrine the campus and
historic community. The college may be reached by the Illi-
nois Central, the Mississippi Central and the Brookhaven and
Pearl River Railroads. Situated in the most elevated region
of southern Mississippi (489.5 feet above sea level) the com-
munity has an enviable record for health, while at the same
time the mild southern climate renders out door exercise pos-
sible and enjoyable at all seasons. The college occupies a
beautiful campus where nine buildings, six of them built of
the famous Brookhaven brick, constitute the most complete
physical plant of any woman's college in the State.

With this admirable physical setting, the college is now
excellently equipped in plant, faculty, and academic organiza-
tion for thorough work. In accordance with the action taken
by the Mississippi Conference on the fourteenth day of Novem-
ber, 1927, the physical plant and all the resources of the col-
lege have been taken over by the Board of Trustees of Mill-
saps College and Whitworth College is now being operated as
a coordinate Junior College Division of the Millsaps Collegiate
system. In 1927, the Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Southern States admitted Whitworth College to
full membership. The college is also a member of the South-
ern Association of Colleges for Women and of the American
Association of Junior Colleges. The courses of study for the
Freshman and Sophomore years are the same as those offered
in the Freshman and Sophomore years of Millsaps College as
indicated on page 68 of this catalogue. A maximum of three
year hours in home economics and three year hours in fine
arts may, however, be counted toward the bachelor's degree.
Other courses, not leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree, are of-
fered in home economics, in fine arts and in education. Those
completing these courses will be awarded a certificate of grad-
uation. Young women who wish to work towards the Mill-
saps B.A. or B.S. degree will be enrolled in Whitworth Col-
lege for the first two years of the course.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 147
