MILLSAPS COLLEGE 11
HISTORY
MILLSAPS College owes its existence primarily to the
consistent policy of the Methodist Church of establish-
ing and maintaining colleges in which to educate its young
people, and all others who wish to receive a liberal training
for life.
Prior to 189 the Methodists of Mississippi had no college
for young men. Whitworth College for women was in opera-
tion at Brookhaven, and this institution had a fine and hon-
orable history. But young men who wished to attend a
Methodist college were compelled to leave their native state
to obtain that which they desired. Many went to Centenary
College in Louisiana, or to Southern University in Alabama.
Some had gone to far-off Indiana to attend Asbury College,
now DePauw University. Among them Major R. W. Millsaps
had lamented the necessity of going out of his native state for
an education, and had resolved to remedy this matter when
he had accumulated a fortune.
By 1888 this feeling had become general and urgent in
Mississippi, and the Mississippi Conference in its session at
Vicksburg first gave definite expression to the general de-
termination of Mississippi Methodists to remedy this situa-
tion. On December 7, 18 88, the Mississippi Conference passed
by a unanimous vote a resolution to establish a college for
males in Mississippi, in conjunction with the North Mississippi
Conference. The same resolution further named a committee
to co-operate with a similar committee from the North Missis-
sippi Conference to formulate plans for such an institution,
and to report back to the Mississippi Conference at its next
session. On December 12 a similar resolution was passed by
the North Mississippi Conference, and a similar committee was
appointed by the North Mississippi Conference. The commit-
tee from the Mississippi Conference consisted of three laymen
and three preachers. Rev. T. L. Mellen, Rev. W. C. Black,
Rev. A. F. "Watkins, Major R. W. Millsaps, Col. W. L. Nugent,
and Doctor Luther Sexton. That from the North Mississippi
Conference consisted of 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.
12 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The joint committee organized at Jackson, Mississippi,
in January of 1889, and entered upon plans for the projected
college. Major R. W. Millsaps, carrying out a plan of his
youth, offered to give $50,000 toward the establishing of the
new institution, provided that the Methodists of Mississippi
would contribute an equal amount for the same purpose. The
commission promptly accepted this offer and formulated plans
for raising the required amount by public subscription from
the Methodists of the state. Bishop Charles B. Galloway was
named to lead the campaign, and he immediately began this
work. In December of 1889 Rev. A. F. Watkins was ap-
pointed by the Mississippi Conference to act as agent for the
campaign, and to assist Bishop Galloway. The North Missis-
sippi Conference ratified this appointment.
By 1890 $25,000 of the $50,000 sought had been raised
and Major Millsaps paid into the college treasury $25,000 to
match that amount. The commission having discharged the
duty for which it had been appointed, dissolved and was suc-
ceeded by a board of trustees duly appointed by the co-operat-
ing conferences. This board consisted of four laymen and
four preachers from each of the two conferences. Its per-
sonnel was as follows:
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. F. WATKINS REV. C. G. ANDREWS, D.D.
REV. R. M. STANDIFER HON. G. D. SHANDS
MAJ. R. W. MILLSAPS CAPT. D. L. SWEATMAN
COL. W. L. NUGENT MR. J. B. STREATER
DR. LUTHER SEXTON MR. JOHN TRICE
HON. M. M. EVANS REV. J. J. WHEAT, D.D.
The board of trustees at once proceeded to obtain a
charter for the new college which they officially named
Millsaps College. Major Millsaps preferred another name for
the institution, but his colleagues on the board unanimously
overruled him, and gave the college the name by which it is
now known.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 13
The resolutions by the two conferences which initiated
the movement for the establishment of Millsaps College con-
templated a college for young men only, but the charter con-
tained no restrictions as to the sexes or as to race; it simply
specified a college, and left the matters of race and sex to the
administration by the conferences, acting through their auth-
orized agents, the board of trustees. For the first six years
of the operation of the college only men applied for enrol-
ment, but girls were admitted in the seventh session of the
college, in 1898. Since that time the enrolment of women
has steadily though slowly increased until now they consti-
tute approximately one-fourth of the total enrolment of the
college.
Rev. W. B. Murrah, of the North Mississippi Conference,
was elected the first president of the college, and the college
was located in Jackson, Mississippi, on the site which it now
occupies. Suitable buildings were erected and a faculty was
chosen in 1891, and the college began its first session in 1892,
A preparatory department was established with one master
in charge. There was no definite line between the college
and the preparatory department, and for some years the mas-
ters of the preparatory department also taught college classes.
The college faculty with which Millsaps College began
consisted of four professors, one of whom was the president
of the college. He taught mental and moral philosophy and
the Bible, and there were professors of mathematics, English,
and the ancient languages. The instruction in the sciences
was distributed among the other members of the faculty.
President Murrah determined that Millsaps College should
be a sound and thorough institution rather than a large one.
To do a few things unusually well rather than to attempt a
program more ambitious than the resources and equipment
of the college warranted was the ideal which he set, and this
ideal has become the characteristic of the college, maintained
to this day. Character and scholarship of a high order were
the qualities he sought and found in his first faculty, and
these qualities that original faculty communicated to their
pupils. The character of the college was thus determined by
its first president. In consequence of this the graduates of
14 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
the college from the beginning of its operation took unusually
high rank in the professional schools and the graduate courses
which they attended in the larger universities.
The presidents of the college have been W. B. Murrah,
D.D., LL.D., (1892-1910); D. C. Hull, M.A., (1910-1912); A.
F. Watkins, D.D., (1912-1923); D. M. Key, Ph.D., LL.D.,
(1923- ).
In the administration of President Murrah the notable
advances of the college, from the material side, were as fol-
lows: In 1893, under the leadership of Rev. J. W. Chambers,
the agent of the college, the campaign for endowment was
completed by the collection of $25,000 from the Methodists
of Mississippi, which was matched by a payment of $25,000
by Major Millsaps, bringing the endowment to $100,000. In
1895 Major Millsaps gave Webster Science Hall, which ac-
commodated the departments of chemistry and physics, and
also housed the library. Cottages for the students were built,
a dormitory and dining hall added, and a residence for the
president was erected. Mr. Dan A. James gave the James
Observatory, and so added equipment to the department of
astronomy. Major Millsaps gave the adjoining property for-
merly known as Jackson College, including a large brick dor-
mitory valued at $80,000, and he added to this gift fifty acres
of land, bringing the grounds of the college to the one hun-
dred acres contemplated in the charter. An athletic field was
provided in 1909, and adequate playing grounds were thus
available for Intra-mural games.
The General Education Board recognized the promise and
the importance of the college by offering to give $25,000 to
the endowment fund provided that $75,000 should be obtained
from other sources. The requisite amount necessary to meet
this condition was complied with in 1910, and so the endow-
ment of the college was increased to $200,000.
During the administration of President Murrah the col-
lege had grown steadily. The faculty of four original profes-
sors was increased by the addition of a professor of chemistry
and physics in 18 93, a professor of history and modern lan-
guages in 189 6, a professor of law in 1896, and a professor
MILLSAPS COLLEJGE 15
of history and economics in 1904. In 1906 Andrew Carnegie
offered a small but excellent library building to the college,
provided an endowment of equal value should be obtained
from other sources. Major Millsaps promptly supplied the re-
quired endowment.
In 1910 President Murrah was elected a Bishop in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and D. C. Hull was chosen
to succeed him. In the two years of President Hull's admin-
istration the most notable advancement made in the college
was the complete separation of the college from the prepara-
tory school which became the Millsaps Academy, under the
Millsaps Board of Trustees. Also, in 1911 Millsaps College
entered into intercollegiate athletics, becoming a member of
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and enter-
ing into all intercollegiate sports except football. In 1922
this ban was removed and Millsaps College now plays all inter-
collegiate games.
In 1912 President Hull resigned, to be succeeded by Rev.
A. F. Watkins, who had been identified with the college from
its beginning, and who was at the time of his election a mem-
ber of the board of trustees. In the administration of Presi-
dent Watkins many additions were made to the physical equip-
ment of the college.
The building occupied by the Millsaps Academy and
known as Founder's Hall was partially destroyed by fire in
1912, but it was soon repaired and made far more valuable
than the old building had ever been. In 1913 the main build-
ing was totally destroyed by fire. Within a year it was re-
placed by a far larger and more finely equipped building now
known as Murrah Hall. In 1912 Millsaps College became a
member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Second-
ary Schools, being one of the two institutions in Mississippi
to hold such membership.
In 1913 Major Millsaps gave the college an office build-
ing in Jackson valued at $150,000, to be counted as addition-
al endowment. By the will of Major Millsaps, who died in
1916, the college received a life insurance policy amounting
to $88,000. This final bequest fittingly closed the long list
of gifts to the college by its illustrious founder.
16 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
In 1918 the law school was discontinued in order that
the resources of the college might be wholly devoted to the
development of the college of arts and sciences. During its
existence of twenty-two years many outstanding attorneys had
been trained in the law school, and it had added much to the
usefulness and prestige of the college. In 1922 the high
schools of the state had so improved that the Millsaps Acad-
emy was no longer necessary for the secondary training of
students, and so it also was discontinued.
In 1919 the old frame building known as the "Cooper
House" was demolished and on its site were built two fine
dormitories. One was named Galloway Hall after the great
bishop, and the other was named Burton Hall, to honor the
memory of Dr. John M. Burton, Professor of Romance Lan-
guages, who died for his country in France in the World War.
In 1920 the General Education Board of New York en-
tered into a contract to pay into the endowment fund $100,-
000.00, conditioned on the increase of the endowment fund
by $250,000.00 from other sources, and to contribute sub-
stantially to the annual support while this sum was being
raised. At this time the Christian Education Movement was
under way in the Methodist Church and the Methodists of
Mississippi responded generously to the call. Mr. W. S. F.
Tatum, of Hattiesburg, gave $100,000.00 for the endowment
of a Department of Religion, which endowment was named by
the trustees the Tatum Fund after the generous donor. This
Department of Religion which has two full-time professors
has given the college a position of leadership in the church
in the field of religious studies.
In 1923 President Watkins resigned to enter the active
ministry and D. M. Key was chosen to succeed him as presi-
dent of the college. Dr. Watkins was made president of the
Board of Trustees.
The administration of President Key has been marked by
a more thorough business organization, and by more definite
academic organization.
Through the collection of pledges made in the Christian
Education Movement and through additional gifts made to
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 17
the endowment, the contract with the General Education
Board was finally completed in 1926. Mr. Tatum increased
his gift to the endowment by $25,000.00; Mr. B. B. Jones
gave $20,000.00 to the endowment; $10,000.00 came from
the estate of Rev. J. H. Scruggs; and many lesser amounts
from other friends. Finally, the trustees transferred $25,-
000.00 from the operating surplus to the permanent endow-
ment and the task was finished. Thus the endowment was
increased by $350,000.00 and reached its maximum of over
$900,000.00.
The physical plant of the college has been greatly en-
larged, also, the value of the new buildings and improvements
totalling approximately $350,000.00.
The small Carnegie-Millsaps library building given the
college in 190 6 having greatly deteriorated because of the
sinking of its foundation, a thing not uncommon in Jackson
soil, the building was demolished and the Carnegie Corpora-
tion built in its stead a far larger and better building on an-
other site. The new Carnegie-Millsaps library has a capacity
of 60,000 volumes, and large reading rooms for the students.
This building was projected in 1923 and finished in 1925.
Since that time the Carnegie Corporation has furnished a fund
of $10,000 to be used in the purchase of new books. With
that sum the college has purchased approximately 4,400 books.
At present there are approximately 25,000 volumes in the
library.
To meet the need for enlarged laboratories for the sci-
ences an unusually fine and well-equipped science building
was completed in 1929, and was dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies by the world-renowned scientist R. A. Millikan,
president of the California Institute of Technology. On pe-
tition of the students of the college this building was named
Sullivan-Harrell Hall, in honor of two professors of science
of the college.
A new and excellent athletic field was completed in 1929,
providing additional facilities for the physical education of
the students. In the will of the late lamented Webster M.
Buie, a former member of the board of trustees, and one of
the most valued alumni of Millsaps College, provision was
18 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
made for the erection of a gymnasium. Additions were made
by loyal friends of Millsaps College to the sum available un-
der Mr. Buie's will, and the gymnasium was completed and
furnished in 1936 at a cost of $45,000. It is officially known
as the Buie Memorial Building for Physical Education. It
is near the new athletic field, and is used in connection with
that field for physical education. The Webster Science Hall
having become unsafe because of the shifting of its founda-
tion was demolished and part of the material so obtained was
used in the construction of the Buie Gymnasium. This en-
abled the college to get for the money expended a much bet-
ter gymnasium than it could have obtained otherwise.
The alumni of the college greatly improved the campus
by clearing many trees which were not ornamental and grad-
ing and beautifying the campus, and by providing for its up-
keep. Their constructive interest in their Alma Mater is one
of its greatest assets.
While the Improvement of the college plant and equip-
ment in the administration of President Key has been notable,
more impressive to judicious friends of the college is the re-
markable recognition gained for Millsaps College from the na-
tional rating agencies. Every rating agency which estimates
the standing of colleges ranks Millsaps among the foremost
colleges in the nation. Not one agency is lacking in this im-
posing list.
In the years 1925-1927, under the leadership of the late
Governor Whitfield and with the financial support of Mr.
Bernard B. Jones, a most notable benefactor of education in
Mississippi, a survey of all education institutions and of their
policies was made by an impartial commission headed by Pro-
fessor M. V. O'Shea, of the University of Wisconsin. After
a two years' study of all the institutions in the state the com-
mission published their report. In this report Millsaps Col-
lege was given the foremost place among the institutions for
higher education in Mississippi. The college had never sought
to surpass any other institution, but had only striven to do
the best work in its power. Unobtrusively it had come to
the first rank.
This achievement has been largely due to the original
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 19
Ideal set by President Murrah when the college was founded,
and to the consistent adherence to that ideal by all his suc-
cessors. But much credit is especially due to the vision, sys-
tem, and persistent energy of President Key in whose term of
office Millsaps College has become more closely affiliated
with associations of national scope.
That the high position of Millsaps College is not confined
to comparative excellence in its own locality is shown by its
general acceptance by every national rating agency without
a single exception. In 1912 it became one of the two col-
leges in Mississippi recognized as members of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; in 1924 it be-
came a member of the Association of American Colleges, and
also a member of the American Council of Education. It
had been approved by the American Association of University
Women in 1921, and it was again formally approved by that
organization when it was put on the Approved List of Colleges
by the American Association of Universities.
In 19 37 it had become evident that sound educational
policy demanded that the Methodists of Mississippi should do
as the Methodists of Arkansas and Missouri had already done
— merge the three colleges operated by them into one strong
institution, since it was far better to have one institution of
the highest rank than to have three struggling colleges com-
peting with each other.
Therefore, on the recommendation of the Educational
Commission, representing both Conferences, the North Mis-
sissippi Conference resolved to close Grenada College, liquidate
its material assets, and merge it with Millsaps College. Fol-
lowing this action the Mississippi Conference took similar
action regarding Whitworth College. Both these colleges
were junior colleges for girls. A new era begins for Method-
ist education in Mississippi with 1938-1939. Mississippi Meth-
odism concentrates on Millsaps College, which will be a co-
educational institution of high rank.
Beginning in 1892 with four professors, including the
president, about one hundred college students and $100,000
endowment, Millsaps has grown to more than twenty professors
20 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
and instructors, exclusive of the president, about four hundred
and fifty students, and more than $888,000 endowment. From
one brick building and a few wooden residences it has grown
to an imposing array of brick buildings, with one hundred
acres of beautiful campus and ample athletic fields.
But its chief excellence lies in its high standard of schol-
arship, its exalted ideals, and the fine character of the alumni
who have studied in its halls and been nurtured in its ideals.
Millsaps College aspires to become increasingly a home for
free and devout spirits who wish to fill with honor and use-
fulness offices in church and state.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 21
GENERAL INFORMATION
RESOURCES
The physical resources, the grounds, the buildings and
the endowment are sufficient to enable the college to do a
high grade of work; but all, except the area of the grounds,
need to be strengthened in order to provide for reasonable
increase of enrollment, to improve the conditions under which
the work is done, to increase the faculty support, to maintain
an improved physical plant, to beautify the campus, and to
offset probable decrease in endowment productivity.
GROUNDS
The campus of 100 acres, situated on a beautiful emi-
nence almost in the heart of the city, is large enough to af-
ford room for the full development of all the phases of col-
lege life. It is pleasantly wooded with many fine old oaks
and elms and open fields and playing grounds. Much im-
provement in the appearance of the campus has been effected
in recent years. A fine concrete drive gives access to all the
buildings. Two commodious playing fields for football and
baseball, a track and tennis courts are readily reached from
the heart of the campus. A fine nine-hole golf course covers
the north end of the campus, with convenient access to the
showers and dressing rooms in the gymnasium.
BUILDINGS
The instructional buildings are all relatively new and
modern. The administration building, Murrah Hall, was
erected in 1914; the Carnegie-Millsaps Library building in
1926; the Sullivan-Harrell Science Hall in 1928; and the Buie
Memorial Building for Physical Education in 1936. These
buildings which constitute the heart of the institution, are
well equipped for the functions they are designed to perform.
The examining committee of Phi Beta Kappa said in regard
to them: "The library, though small, seems adequate, and
the collections are well chosen. The laboratories in the new
22 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
science building are adeauate, the equipment is new and up-
to-date."
Founders Hall, the dormitory for freshmen, is located
across the drive from the library. There are rooms for 80
men. On the ground floor is a large rest and recreation room,
the apartment of the house mother and one other apartment.
Only freshmen are allowed to room in this dormitory. Bur-
ton Hall and Galloway Hall and the dining hall are located
at the south end of the campus. Galloway Hall has been
reserved for women students. Its elegant reception rooms
have been newly equipped with handsome furnishings.
ENDOWMENT
The productive endowment, according to the last audit,
amounted to $800,441. In addition to the income from this
endowment, the college budget receives pro rata share of con-
ference assessments amounting to $13,000 and also the pro-
ceeds of a producing gas well located on the college campus.
Owing to decrease in the productivity of invested funds as
well as the need of greater operating income the college needs
contributions to its endowment more urgently than anything
else. The statement of total assets derived from the last of-
ficial audit, August 7, 19 37, is as follows:
Current funds $ 12,107.66
Loan funds 3,930.79
Endowment 784,471.65
Plant funds 874,031.66
Total $1,6 74,541.76

CARNEGIE-MILLSAPS LIBRARY
Near the close of the 1905-0 6 session, Andrew Carnegie
offered to give the college $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.
The foundations of this handsome building unfortunately
gave way, and it became necessary to provide a new library.
The Carnegie Corporation generously appropriated $50,000
for this purpose. The present building was completed in
1925-26 and with the addition of two floors of shelving will
house 60,000 volumes. Furniture for the reading rooms was
given by the Enochs Lumber & Manufacturing Company.
The library contains approximately 25,000 volumes and
receives one hundred and twenty periodicals. A special grant
of $10,000 for the purchase of books was made by the Car-
negie Corporation during the five years 1931-19 3 6, and about
4,600 volumes were added from this source. The income
from the Martha A. Turner Fund of $1000, founded by Mrs.
J. R. Bingham of Carrollton, Miss., is used for the purchase
of books in English literature.
Library Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 to 1, 2 to 6,
7 to 9.
Saturday, 8 to 1:15
Sunday, 3 to 5 (for reading only)
The library is closed during Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and spring holidays. Books are loaned for two weeks or a
shorter period of time.
A special collection of documents, manuscripts, and books
on Methodism in Mississippi has been started, and gifts of ma-
terial related to this subject would be especially valuable.

30 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Millsaps College, as an institution of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. South, seeks to be a genuinely Christian col-
lege. The faculty is made up of scholars who are Christians
striving to fulfill the highest ideals of personal devotion and
of community citizenship. The religious life of the college
centers around the churches of Jackson, and the campus Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Every inducement is brought to bear
upon the students to attend a church and church school of
their own denomination A chapel or assembly of the entire
college provides opportunity for worship, inspiration, and busi-
ness of college-wide concern. Varied programs, including ad-
dresses by faculty members, students, and outside speakers of
ability, are presented at these services.
THE CAMPUS-CHURCH RELATIONS COMMITTEE
AND THE MILLSAPS CHRISTIAN COUNCIL
The Christian program of the college is coordinated with
the local and general program of the church through the Cam-
pus-Church Relations Committee. The various religious ac-
tivities of the college are correlated and unified by the Mill-
saps Christian Council, composed of representatives of all
religious groups on the campus. This council sponsors dele-
gations of students to the summer conferences of the church
at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina, and to the Methodist State
Student Conference.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The College Y. M. C. A. is the recognized channel of stu-
dent religious activity for men. The association was organ-
ized shortly after the college was founded, and has done much
to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the college
and its members, and to promote progressive Christian work.
Wednesday evening meetings are held for the presentation
and discussion of questions of interest to students. The as-
sociation shares vitally in the college program for the adjust-
ment of freshmen to the Millsaps community. Delegations of
members represent the association at state, regional, and Blue
Ridge, N. C, conferences each year.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 31
YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Y. W. C. A. provides expression for the religious in-
terests of Millsaps women through a program similar to that
of the Y. M. C. A. It holds Thursday evening meetings de-
voted to the religious needs of college vi^omen, and cooperates
in the orientation of new students in campus life. Repre-
sentatives of the association participate in all of the confer-
ences of the Y. W. C. A., and Christian Student Movement.
MINISTERIAL LEAGUE
Students preparing for the Christian ministry may join
the Ministerial League, which provides programs appropriate
to the needs of students interested in Christian life work.
Through its activities, the league provides opportunity for
Christian service for its members, and contributes much to
the religious life of the campus, and of the local churches.
RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK
The annual Religious Emphasis Week is sponsored by all
of the religious groups of the campus, functioning through
the Millsaps Christian Council. For this week some outstand-
ing religious leader familiar with student life and problems
is brought to the campus. The speaker for the Religious
Emphasis Week of 1937 was Dr. W. T. Watkins (Emory Uni-
versity), whose public messages and individual conferences
proved of great value to many students. The evening services
of the week were conducted as the Millsaps Youth Conference,
and were open to all of the young people of the Jackson area.
Large numbers of young people from the city and nearby
places enjoyed attendance at these services.
THE CHRISTIAN CENTER
All religious groups of the campus share the use of a
frame building known as the Christian Center. This building
has been recently remodelled and now provides facilities for
worship, forum, recreation, and committee meetings. In ad-
dition to the meetings of the various religious organizations,
a vesper service is conducted in the center each evening after
dinner.
32 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
ATHLETICS
Millsaps College has maintained a consistently high ath-
letic standard, not only in developing teams for intercollegiate
competition, but in providing a well rounded program which
attempts to bring every student in college into some form of
athletic competition.
I. ELIGIBILITY.
Millsaps is a member of the Dixie conference and the S.
I. A. A. Important rules which govern Millsaps athletics are:
(1) During his freshman year of residence a student may par-
ticipate only in limited competition with the freshmen of
other institutions or with junior colleges. (2) A student may
have three years of participation as a member of the varsity
teams, but must advance each year in class standing. (3)
Graduates of junior colleges are eligible at once for varsity
teams provided they enter Millsaps College directly from jun-
ior college.
II. AWARDS.
(1) Freshmen. Freshman sweaters are awarded in base-
ball, basketball, football, and tennis upon the recommenda-
tion of the coach. (Freshmen, however, will not receive their
sweaters until they have attained a scholastic record which
will make them eligible for intercollegiate competition.)
(2) Varsity. A varsity jacket with an "M" is given a
student upon recommendation of the coach, the first time he
is a regular member of a varsity team in baseball, basketball,
football, or tennis.
III. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS.
In the desire to have a "sports for all" program, the col-
lege sponsors, intramural activities in: archery, baseball, bas-
ketball, boxing, free throwing, touch football, golf, horseshoe,
Softball, track, tennis, and volley ball.
Cups are awarded to championship squads in these ac-
tivities. In general, the units are based upon residence in
dormitories and teams sponsored by social fraternities.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 33
IV. ATHLETIC FACILITIES.
(1) A new gymnasium provides a large playing floor for
basketball, boxing, volley ball, indoor baseball, and tennis.
It has a regulation ring for boxing, mats for gymnastics, dress-
ing rooms for all teams, a room for visiting teams, trainer's
room complete with equipment for injuries, a club room for
wearers of the "M", and the college store. The gymnasium
has become the center of the activities of the students. (2)
The football stadium with seating accommodations for five
thousand spectators is equipped with lights for night games
and also contains a fine 24 ft. quarter mile cinder track. (3)
The baseball field is separate from the football stadium and
is also used as a freshman football practice field. (4) Five
new clay tennis courts have been constructed near the gymna-
sium and are kept in perfect condition in nine out of the
twelve months of the year. (5) A very fine nine hole golf
course has been built and is for use by all students.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Millsaps Student Association is composed of officers
elected by the student body and the student executive board.
The president, vice-president, and the secretary-treasurer are
elected annually from the student body. Members of the stu-
dent executive board are chosen by the activities which they
represent.
Meetings of the student executive board are held at least
once a month, with other meetings called when the president
considers them necessary. The Student Association holds its
regular meeting during the chapel period every Friday morn-
ing. All members of the student body automatically become
members of the Student Association,
The duties and functions of the Student Association are
to act in the administration of student affairs, to cooperate
with the administration in the orientation program of the
college, to promote a better understanding between student
and faculty, and to work for the benefit of the student body
and the progress of the college.

clinations is furnished in The Purple and White, weekly Mill-
saps student publication. A college newspaper with a reputa-
tion which ranks it among the best in the South, The Purple

Philosophy. — In the Department of Philosophy a major
may be taken in Ethics or in History of Philosophy. In all
cases, Logic will be required in addition to the course offered.
Courses in Political Science and certain courses in Religion
may be counted to make up the requisite hours.
Physics and Astronomy. — Students majoring in these two
subjects are required to take Physics 11-12 and Astronomy
11-12 and additional work in other courses to make a total
of twenty-four hours.
Religion. — Majors in religion are required to take Re-
ligion 31 and 41 in addition to the course in Religion 11-12
which all students must take. Other courses are elective with
the student, up to the required number.
Social Science. — In the Department of Social Science cer-
tain courses in History, Philosophy, or Religion may be count-
ed for credit, this to be determined by the department con-
cerned.
Comprehensive Examinations
Before receiving a bachelor's degree the student must
pass a satisfactory comprehensive examination in his major
field of study. This examination is given in the senior year
and is intended to cover subject matter greater in scope than
a single course or series of courses. The purpose of the com-
prehensive examination is to coordinate the class work with
independent reading and thinking in such a way as to relate
the knowledge acquired and give the student a general un-
derstanding of the field which could not be acquired from in-
dividual courses.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 55
The major field must be chosen by the student at the
opening of his junior year. The consent of the professor in
charge is required before a student is allowed to major in a
department. At least twenty-four semester hours credit must
be taken in the department in which the student is majoring.
Juniors and seniors meet with their major professors for con-
ferences at least once a month. The examination requires
three hours and is both written and oral.
All comprehensive examinations must be completed by
May 15 of the year in which the degree is to be awarded.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
CLASS ATTENDANCE
The academic year begins on the morning of the second
Wednesday of September and continues for thirty-six weeks.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday, there is a Christmas recess
of about ten days, two days holiday at the end of the first
semester, and a spring recess.
Attendance is required for each student throughout the
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 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
permission 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 organiza-
tions.
Absence of athletic teams and other student organizations
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
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 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 to by a physician's
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 57
certificate, or other cause which the faculty by special order
may approve. An unexcused absence is counted as a total
failure in the examination in which it occurs. A student
whose absence from examination is excused is admitted to a
special examination ordered by the faculty.
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
Attendance upon chapel is required of all students three
days each week. All freshmen are required to attend chapel
on one additional day during the first semester.
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 ex-
amination is given in the student's major field.
GRADING SYSTEM
All marks are changed from a percentage to a six-point
letter scale as follows: "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", and "F".
"A" represents superior work, largely of a creative nature
and in addition to the regularly prescribed work of the class.
"B" represents above the average achievement in the regu-
larly prescribed work. "C" represents the average achieve-
ment of the class in the regularly prescribed work. "D"
represents the level of achievement in the regularly pre-
scribed work of the class below the average in the same re-
lationship as the grade of "B" is above the average. "E"
represents a condition and may be changed to a "D" if the
grade in the other semester of the course is "C" or above.
"F" represents failure to do the regularly prescribed work of
the class. All marks of "D" and above are passing marks
and "F" represents failure.
58 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The following are semester unit courses and cannot be
averaged the first with the second semester.
Latin 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 61, 62.
Greek 11, 12.
Biology 41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62, 71, 72.
Education, all courses.
English 91, 92.
History 31, 32.
Mathematics, all courses.
Physics 61, 62.
Religion, all courses.
Social Science 41, 42.
A student who makes a grade of "D" 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 nine quality points to be
classed as a sophomore, 36 to be classed as a junior, 72 to be
classed as a senior, and 120 for graduation. The completion
of any college course with a grade of "C" 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 "B" for
the semester shall entitle a student to two quality points for
each semester hour, and the completion of a course with the
grade of "A" for the semester shall entitle a student to three
quality points per semester hour.
GRADES
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 the examination. The examina-
tion grade shall be counted as approximately one-third of the
grade for the semester. If the combined grade is below D
the student is required to repeat the course, except in courses
where the grades for the two semesters may be averaged.
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
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 69
indicated by the answers when questioned, by written exer-
cises, note books, the faithful performance of laboratory or
other similar work, etc. The grade for passing in any course
is D. For quality requirements see page 58.
In determining honors and high honors, and all other
awards based solely on scholarship, a quality index is arrived
at by dividing the number of quality points by the number of
semester hours taken.
HOURS PERMITTED
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.
HONORS
A student whose quality point index is 1.8 for his entire
course shall be graduated with Honors; one whose quality
point index is 2.7 and who has a rating of excellent on com-
prehensive examination 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.
Honors or high honors may be refused a student who, in the
judgment of the faculty, has forfeited his right. These regu-
lations do not apply to those who transfer back as much as
eighteen semester hours for their degree.
DEANS' LIST
I. Requirements:
(1) Scholastic: (a) A quality point average for the pre-
ceding semester of 2.00,
(b) No mark lower than a D.
(2) Conduct: The student shall be, in the judgment of
the deans, a good citizen of the college community.
II. Privileges: The student who qualifies under I shall not be
subject to the college regulations governing class attend-
60 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
ance. This shall not be construed to apply to announced
tests, laboratory exercises, absences immediately preceding
and following holidays, and to freshman courses.
III. Eligibility: Seniors and juniors who have been in resi-
dence at least one semester. Sophomores may have the
privilege of this list during their second semester.
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 ap-
plication to his studies, and regular attendance upon chapel.
Drinking, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly for-
bidden, and any student found guilty of them is punished by
suspension or expulsion.
Firearms
The keeping of firearms by the students is strictly for-
bidden.
Delinquency.
Reports are made each two weeks of all those failing
during the preceding two weeks in each subject. The names
of those delinquent are posted and notice is sent to the parent
or guardian.
To remain in college a freshman must pass in the first
semester at least two subjects and have a grade of E in a
third. After the first half of the freshman year a student
must pass at least three subjects a semester to continue in
college. The respective deans may exercise their discretion
in the enforcement of this regulation.
Demerit System.
1. The demerit system is used. Demerits are incurred by
unexcused absences from class, chapel, and for other vio-
lations of the college regulations, such as hazing and other
offences.
MILLSAPS COLLEGE 61
2. When a student has received an aggregate of thirty-five
demerits he is called before the dean and warned. A
notice of the warning is 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.
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 progress
made by him in his work at the college.
WITHDRAWALS
"Voluntary withdrawals from the college require the con-
sent of the faculty or president.
Enforced withdrawal 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.
MATRICULATION
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 third Wednesday of Septem-
ber and continues with recess of about ten days at Christmas,
until the first Tuesday in June. The first three 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
62 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
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.
REGISTRATION
Applicants seeking admission to the college for the first
time should present themselves to the registrar of the col-
lege at his office in the main building promptly at 9:00 o'clock
on the opening day, September 14. In each instance a
certificate of good moral character, signed by the proper of-
ficial of the institution attended during the previous session,
or by some persons of known standing, must be sent to the
Registrar 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 these he
must take the required courses and those electives which he
proposes to pursue during the session. 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 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 five 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.
CHANGE OF REGISTRATION
Students cannot change classes or drop classes or take
up new classes except by the consent of the registrar or fac-
ulty.

PROFESSOR HAMILTON
PROFESSOR KEY
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR HUDDLESTON *
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR COULLET
INSTRUCTOR THOMPSON
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.

PROFESSOR SULLIVAN
INSTRUCTOR PRICE
The Department of Chemistry is now well provided for in
the Sullivan-Harrell Hall, a new and thoroughly modern sci-
ence hall, which was recently built as a gift from citizens of
Jackson and Hinds County. There are two lecture rooms
supplied with tablet-arm chairs fixed in elevated rows, im-
proved lecture desks with Alberene stone tops and removable
down-draft hoods, sliding blackboards with separate control
for lighting, and other conveniences. 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 sev-
enty individuals (provision being made for expansion), one
for quantitative analysis equipped for fourteen students, (ex-
pansion provided for), and one for industrial chemistry. There
are three smaller laboratories for physical chemistry, nitrogen
determinations, and research, respectively, besides four 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. Each hood is provided with outlets for water,
gas, compressed air, and 30-ampere electric current.
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
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
74 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
that he may not only gain a true idea of the substance under
inspection but also train his hands to be careful of 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
will be given to chemical calculations, and the use of refer-
ence books and periodicals will be encouraged.
11, 12. Inorganic Chemistry. (See course 21, 22.)
21. Inorganic Chemistry. — A careful study of fundamental
principles and laws, the occurrences, properties, prepara-
tion and uses of the non-metallic elements and some of
their compounds, and to chemical calculations. Special

22. Inorganic Chemistry. — The work of this semester will
include a study of metals with special reference to com-
mercial uses and to qualitative analysis, and an elemen-
tary course in organic chemistry. This course is de-
signed to give the student a thorough working knowledge
of general chemistry, and is a prescribed study of the
sophomore year for the B.S. degree. It is a prerequisite
to either of the other courses in chemistry, and is open
to freshmen who are registered as pre-medical or pre-
engineering students, and to A.B. students who elect
chemistry. A laboratory course is given in connection
with the lectures and each student is assigned the prep-
aration of a number of elements and compounds, and is
required to note the deportment of various substances
with reagents. The class each year is given an oppor-
tunity to visit certain industrial establishments, as sul-
phuric acid plant, phosphate works, gas works, water
works and filtration plants. Three lecture hours and
one laboratory period. Four hours credit. Second

INSTRUCTOR WHARTON*
INSTRUCTOR RAMSEY
In the courses in History two things will he kept in view.
Students will be expected to acquaint themselves with the
significant 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
and the development of nations will be indicated, and emphasis
will be laid upon the idea that history is an account of the
development of the human race. Both the facts and the
reasons will be studied to account for the progressive organi-
zation of the social, intellectual, and moral ideals of the
various peoples into laws and customs.
In the attempt to understand the progress of the nations,
account will be taken of their literatures, their racial compo-
sition, their economic conditions, their religions, their social
institutions, and their forms of government.
11. History of Europe. — In this course an attempt will be
made to show that the problems and ideals of modern
nations come to them from previous history. This is
done that the students may understand the problems of
modern life, including those of our own nation and the

X. THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
PROFESSOR LIN
The courses in philosophy are designed to give an intelli-
gent view of the human mind, and to indicate the conditions
of all valid thought. Only what is fundamental will be con-
sidered.
In logic both deductive and inductive logic will be studied,
but neither course will receive credit for graduation unless
supplemented by the other course in this subject. In the
Introduction to Philosophy attention will be given to types
of philosophy which enter into modern thought. In the
History of Philosophy a comprehensive view will be given of
the results obtained by the greatest thinkers who have at-
tempted to frame a consistent theory of the material and the
spiritual world. An attempt will be made to show that these
have a consecutive connection in development.
In ethics one course will consider pagan ethics, and a
following course will be given in modern ethics. It is recom-
mended that courses in logic be taken before other courses
are attempted.

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.

XIII. THE DEPAETMENT OF RELIGION
THE TATUM FOUNDATION
PROFESSOR BULLOCK
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR THOMAS
The courses in this department are offered for the con-
tribution they make to intelligent Christian living, and to a
genuine cultural education, rather than for any special profes-
sional interest such as the ministry or other Christian life-
service. These special interests are not neglected, but the
department seeks primarily to meet the urgent need of the
Church for an effective leadership among its lay members.
It is hoped that many students will avail themselves of these
courses.
Some Millsaps students, under the direction of the De-
partment of Religion and the Board of Christian Education,
serve in Short Term Training Courses in the Mississippi
Methodist conferences during the summer. This department
gladly cooperates in preparing students for this important
service to the Church.
Religion 11 and 12, providing an introduction to both
the Old and New Testaments, and some insight into the mean-
ing of the Christian religion, is required of all freshmen ex-
cept pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-engineering students,
who are required to take it during the sophomore year.
Other than Religion 11 and 12, both of which must be
taken, any single semester course may be taken. Pre-
requisites for any given course may be waived under special
circumstances, but only upon the consent of the professor.
Majors in this department may emphasize either Biblical
literature or religious education, but in either case the whole
plan should be carefully worked out in cooperation with the
professor of religion. It is the growing sentiment among the
leaders of the Church that students preparing for the ministry
should not major in religion but rather in the social sciences
or in English, leaving their professional training in religion
102 MILLSAPS COLLEGE
for the seminary years. With the generous financial assis-
tance now given students in seminaries, almost every student
who so desires can obtain a seminary education. It is, how-
ever, suggested that all ministerial students should take some
electives in religion, thereby orienting themselves for seminary
work.

PROFESSOR LIN
INSTRUCTOR WHARTON*
INSTRUCTOR RAMSEY
INSTRUCTOR JONES
The aim of this department will be rather to do well a
small amount of work than to cover a large field. Courses
in economics, 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 im-
prove our financial, political, and social life and institutions.
The enrollment will be limited to a number that can be
taught thoroughly by the staff dealing with these subjects.
Since these subjects deal with the matters which are engross-
ing the attention of every important nation in the world, and
which lie at the basis of all material welfare it is believed
that students who are awake to the things of first importance
in civilization will be profited by the courses given.

GENERAL STATEMENT
The Summer School of Millsaps College for 19 3 8 will
open on June 15 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, Millsaps
College feels that it is serving a long felt need in that some
provision should be made at the capital of the state for teach-
ers 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.
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,
MILLSAPS COLLEGE
133
towels and toilet articles. The dining hall will be open on
the evening of June 14. Rooms open on June 14. Fees and
board payable 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.
